Home at last

I love being back in NYC with educated articulate neighbors. In fair their is a brilliant Enlishman in my building and my coworkers are great. I am in the Beakerkin library and planning to get a Staten Island Yankee game. I will leave as the Matt Drudge radio show comes on the air on Sunday.

I will see the Strand book store and my favorite haunts. I do not miss the losers in Union Square Park. My first clue I was home is when WABC radio was on my radio. The John Batchelor show was ny first sound of home.

I love hearing the accent and the energy . My first night was by my sister in NJ and I got lost in Paramus. The local police guided me towards the turn off on the last ten miles. I do not have the stamina to drive more then three hours without a rest.

I will have Jewish food for dinner. I will dine in an ethnic resturant probably the Kiev on Second Avenue before I go home. I will stop by Ground Zero and pray for those who lost their lives.

Sometimes one has to leave NYC to learn to love it.

Mediocrity and the Beak

I do not mind my critics in fact we have an official troll. Drew might be stupid and lame but he never cries and is his his own man. He does not need to carry water or a jockstrap for any hero .

Thus we come to troll Craig B. Typical respone U are a liar nazi genocial jooooooooo repeated ad nausem. Craig are you capable of new material. For fun answer this.

1 Has any of your posts been censored or any one elses ?
2 I think 167 has been on this blog about eight times more then my posts on his. Thus the question of who is obsessed with whom is amusing. Lets see how does one qoute a blog that they claim they do not read.
3 Have you noticed I laugh at your usual charges because there is no basis in fact. However the Anti Semitism along with a host of other bigotries at the 167 folk tale delusion house of idiocy is apparent.
4 How did Warren become a Mormon ? What is wrong with being a Mormon? Wait didn't 167 accuse Warren and myself of being the same person. Different writting styles are just an inconvenient detail. So now is the folk tale spinner accusing me of being a Mormon. I know he is obsessed with Genetalia as his headline "Beakerkin wants to compare dick sizes". Maybe he is looking for circumsision scars.

5 How does a person who claims to be SUCH an expert on hell bound Zionists also regularly trash all organized religions. You can reread my post for the penalties for homosexuality in Islamic countries.

6 So now Tony Blair is a zionist . In what lifetime did that happen. Zionist media the same tyerm David Duke uses coincedence. The Zionist media did a great job on the fake Jennin massacre.

7 The fact that a Jew writes frequently about Jewish issues is not unusual. The fact that a Joooooo obsessed leftist folk tale commie needs to work Zionist and Jooooo into about at least 1/3 of his posts is curious. Can we say pathological bigot of Left wing PC redneck ?

8 Has the person who is an expert on litteracy figured out what a run on sentence is.
Dr Yeagley and Richard Poe are still laughing. 167 divided by what or in the words of Warren 1.67. , please let us know. FYI I think it is a hat size as he is always patting himself on the back.

9 Have you held Gay pride in Mecca yet ? 167 has never used his head so a beheading might improve his intelligence. However the homosexuals I know use their brains every
day . Holding Gay Pride in a country that has the death penalty for Homosexuality seem just a WEEEEEEE bit impractical and probably unadvisable.

10 Lets see every aleged homophobic statement by Christians is a CRISIS. Yet the silence of Islamic clerics who preach killing GAYS is par for the course at the blog of 167. 167 defended Ken Livingstones meeting with a Islamic cleric who advocated Gays, can we say hypocrite. He also failed to mention Hindooooooos , Bhoooooodists, some liberal Mooooooooslims , think hooooooomosexuals and a wide variety of others were critical of that meeting but he only writes of the JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS. Hmmmmm it walks like a hypocrite, it talks a hypocrite what do you think it is.


Lastly do note Craig as you slow of mind and deviod of any discernable intelligence that he is free to respond. Maybe he should extend the courtesy of others.

The Beak is home

I made it back home with minor misadventures. 400 plus miles and only minor misadventues. The trip was fun until I got past Albany and Upstate radio stinks.
NPR and country music stink.

Enter the Beaker

The agency I work for is sending 1000 volunteers to help FEMA in New Orleans. I did volunteer to be sent . If I get selected to go is an open question. My supervisor will make the ultimate call. I would prefer to go as a single man and I remember people helping out NYC .

I doubt I will be selected as many people have volunteered. However I am a single man and I can stay far longer.

Know the enemy

Most of my fellow bloggers seem to think that the enemy is militant Islam. This misses the more common enemy that aids abets and rationalizes the barbarity of the terrorists. I am refering to the lunatic left and as a social liberal I am disgusted by the acceptance of this element. I will refer to the best example of the mind ( or lack of) of the dumbest communist on the Web the anti semite par excellance 167.

Say your city has been bombed by religious nuts. A normal person condems the bombing and he added that not all Muslims are bombers. This is decent so far but wait lack of intelligence will show.

He reserves his outrage for the Police for the unfortunate shooting . He then adds it is a Zionistic tactic to shoot people in the head. He thus fails to mention that all of the above would not be needed if a certain element would stop blowing up civilians. Maybe suicide bombing is a cultural variant to 167 or it is okay as long as Jooooooooos er Zionists are blown up.

This is typical of what we deal with . Israel has absolutely zero to do with the Iraq war and talk of Jooooish cabals and zionist media is naked anti semitism. Guess what Howard Dean and now Susan Estrich agree and neither can be described as a Conservative. The left has been silent about Deans denunciation of this blatant antisemitism eminating from the far left.

This is the amazing part as liberals want to get self righteous at every alleged anti gay statement by Falwell. Yet these same sorts go into denial when there own talk about Joooos. Can we say phonies

Hey liberals I might agree with you on the social issues but Communism and Anti semites are pure evil . I will not watch the same sort sell the people of Iraq out like the Vietnamese , North Koreans and Cubans.

Returning Home

I will be leaving Thursday Night to visit my beloved NYC. I will stop off with my relatives in Jersey including Drummaster . In fact the second stop will be the Strand
Bookstore. I am looking foward to speaking with people who read . The next stop will be the nearest Jewish resturant.

Vermont is great and with rare exception people have been kind to me. Yet I belong in NYC with the action excitement and culture. God help the first person who hands me Maple Syrup. A Knish my kingdom for a knish and good Pastami.

Scooter Humiliates Beak at the State Fair

The Beak has never been to a State Fair but Scooer dragged me along . The food was expensive but good. Scooter was embarassed when I called out for A-1 at the livestock expo. You have a good future as a Rib Eye.

Well Scooter had to get gifts for the kids. Naturaly he picks out a Sponge Bob stuffed Animal and guess who has to carry it. It is impossible to be a NYC tough guy and carry a Sponge Bob. To make matters worse he also gets the cotton candy and can we say tourist geek. How is a NYC person supposed to be macho carrying a Sponge Bob.

When we got home we found out our mutual friend's son got shot in the hand in Iraq.
Hopefully, he will recover soon and either come home or rejoin his unit. It does put the Sponge Bob idiocy into perspective.

Hijacked By Al Gore

Regular readers of this blog do not be alarmed. I am using the readership of this blo to promote my new network that nobody watches.

Our first show is Libertarians gone Wild. Watch as lLibertarians demand rich art patrons pay for their own opera tickets. Cringe as they demand college Professors work fourty hour work weeks. Be afraid as they demand productivity and innitiative from Government workers. Watch them try to destroy the planet by eliminating gas taxes.

Be afraid the Libertarians are out there.

Then we have our new Reality show called Revolting America. Watch three Communist Anti Semites that a trip around America . The three visionaries are Ducky , 167, and 147. Wintermute did not make the cut as even Commies have to be reality based. Watch as 167 finds common ground with the KKK .

" Well we both agree that you live in a Jooooo controlled country with a joooooish er zionist media. However you positions on blacks and gays......"

Watch Ducky explain the wonders of Casto in Miami as people arive in inner tubes fleeing the workers paradise.

" Don't you know you are fleeing a land with great health care and education. Get back on those inner tubes and head back you ingrates."

Watch as 147 goes to Brighton Beach and explains to Soviet Jooooos that they are all liars and were never persecuted.

As our goal is to change the world we have childrens cartoons too.

" Adolescent Neo Marxist Sexualy Perveted Worms from Berkley" Meet the fab four named after our greatest minds Marx , Chomsky , Castro and the comedian Moore."

We also have a Soap for Daytime. Higher Times at Hiher Ed where faculty and students light up , play naked twister, everyone gets an A except for some White male named Beamish.

Now back to the mediocrity called the Beak Speaks. Patriotism is so passe.

Beaker and Laborday

Readers may be surprised that I am a Union member. I am a member of a Union and was surprised to learn my title is officer Beaker. I was in Canada and the local gaurd smiled and told me.

I still believe National security trumps my social beleifs and thus I will not change my affiliations any time soon. The tolerance and connivance of the Democrats with Communist anti semites is pun intended revolting. I am glad Gov Dean finally said that talk of Jooish cabals and Israel being responsible for the Iraq war is anti semitic. Yet people like 167 have no response to Howard Dean. They pretend he did not say it as they spew more bile and venom at Joooooooooos.

Organized labor is an oxymoron as my pers are great guys but they are not organized or decisive. The focus should be on work conditions and the ass backwards term system. Investigating people for five years for a one year term is wasteful. My coworkers would like better training on issues directly related to what we do.

However I am glad to serve my country in this capacity. I traveled a long road to get here. The work is fun when they do not have me in training. My good friend loves to schedule me in his classes because he thinks I am better then a rubber chicken. In other words you can make jokes at my expense and I laugh it off. The reward for hard work is more training bear that in mind . I prefer just working cases but others prefer to teach.

There is just a romance of the Beak hammering away at never ending files. The cases never get boring but my coworkers have been helpful and are great people with the rarest of exception. My work is a labor of love and duty born out of the nightmare of 9-11.

I just wish people knew that yes there are some who serve out of love of country.
Patriotism and Nationalism aren;t quaint notions I live it each and every day.

Beak and the Police mystery solved

This is a small community and thus unknown people are rare . Most people know each other for twenty years. Thus my exasperation when someone asks aren't you related to .... My arrival was somewhat like the man with no name in the spaghetti westerns.
I was seen but nobody knew who I was or what I did for a while. I socialized with a small group of people and other then the gas station I have few interactions with the locals.

Apparently , the places I like to read and blog are also frequented by drug dealers. Yet this is not a big deal for any NYC resident especially one who lived by Washington Square. In fact if I felt homesick for NYC sitting in a Park with homeless people and drug dealers would remind one of home , Washington Square.

The local police explained that they are concerned for my safety and want me to do my late night reading and bloging from areas they can see .

Thus the mystery of the local police is solved. I live near a bar known for rowdiness
,have out of state plates and read books and blog from spots that are frequented by drug dealers. On top of it all I am still largely unknown and that unnerves some. Given all of the above I certainly would stop myself in their shoes.

The requests were reasonable and I complied. I am posting this blog from Ciy Hall a spot not known for drug dealing. Police and citizens should work together as it is our job to comply with reasonable requests as they are trying to keep the town safe.
In many ways the town I am in bears more resemblance to the South Bronx then to Forrest Hills. The amount of social disfunction drugs, alcoholism, homelessness and people who haven't worked in years. I guess this is a paradise that never was but the scenery and the clear skies at night are still impressive.

9-11 and the change in my life part 2

Anyone who was there and some who watched on TV were changed that day. My heart goes out to the brave rescue personel whose solen, dutiful and foreboding looks haunts me to this day. I was one of those racing from history as far braver men made history in their efforts to save lives. Sadly the left has spit on their memory with conspiracy talk that began while the buildings were sill burning. The right should emphasize the heroes of that day and sadly they should do better.

I always make a point to thank Police and Firemen . They sacrafice their lives and protect us each and every day. I also thank military personel for the dedication they show. I was struck that as the sailors ventured into working class areas they were popular. Thus the striking Teamsters had a beer with us. The people in Harlem cheered the sailors. Hwever the human garbage in the NYU and Union Square area booed the sailors. For all the left wing ralk about populism it has little or no connection to the people. I have never heard class and struggle in the same sentence in Harlem or the Soth Bronx. People there know hustlers and con men when they see them.

After 9-11 the Commies came out and held a rally in Union Square while the buildings were still smoldering. 2000 plus people blamed Israel and the Joooooos for 9-11 but all you heard was Robertsons stupid anti gay remarks. The same bias hold true today and thus Sheehan's virulent anti semitism and Commie cronies go unreported. Thus as the far left knifed America an the back the Cold Warrior was reborn. Anti Communist moderates must not be silent.

The stakes are too high

9-11 and the change in my life

9-11 has caused some subtle changes in my life. Strange but ordinary NYC life has put me in some hair raising situations that did not affect me. I have seen drive by shootings in the Bronx, A bizarre incedent of the SI Ferry involving a bezerk man and a machette in the 80's , car accidents galore, indcustrial accidents, blackouts, Hurricanes and blizzards and of course the WTC 93 bombing that I am a survivor of. None of those incedents changed me so why should 9-11. The reason is it was not death alone as I have seen it more then a normal person would. Death is part of our lives.

Industrial accidents are an unfortunate part of work . People fall , get run over and machines malfunction and hopefuly nobody gets hurt too badly but it happens. Sadly, in reference to the machette wielding lunatic in the eighties people break down . The man was obviously deranged and it is sad but unfortunate. This is also why
mental health and people taking their medication is so important. The forces of Nature are also a part of life as Nature blesses us with her bounty sometimes we endure her wrath. Fires, Car accidents, blackouts and a certain amount of crime are just inevitable in a big city. Even the 93 blast the toll of death was slight and I certainly did not see it, despite being in the building.

The WTC was not an exotic place for me as I passed there daily. My usual partner was my coworker thne Late Big Bad Larry Yeah Yeah. He recently passed away having nothing to do with 9-11. The place was alive with energy even at 2AM one could find workers scurring to and fro and there was a shopping center with a Borders Bookstore among other stores and Resturants. Beneath that were a maze of trains carrying people everywhere.

The site looks alot larger on TV. People often wonder about how small the site is when they see it in person. Yet this is where my life and some of yours were changed
forever. Many people tell me of weeping at home or at work. The question of my generation is often where were you on 9-11. I walked through the parking lot at work in VT and was touched to see a plaque and a tree planted . 9-11 was larger then a NYC event and many people around the country and the World were horrified and wept at the pointless horror of death, chaos and mayhem for no reason. The victims were going to work or racing to save lives and represented a cross section of NYC and the world. Pointless death is life's ultimate crime and to cavalierly waste life on some religious or political idiocy is evil incarnate.

CTD

Ending Gang or Mob related violence

I have always had a particular animus towards gang members. Comparing them to wolves is an insult to wolves. Wolves kill what they need and use violence for a purpose and then it stops.

The problem is we allow people to claim I was swept up by a mob. This is a falacy and no excuse. I understand the herd instinct but we are suposed to have a higher function then Wolves.

I would like to see all penatlties for mob violence multipled by four. Thus a group that robs would be looking at four times the penalty. The current flaw is that a person can get swept up by a crowd lessening the crime. This is dead wrong logicaly as the attack is more cowardly due to numbers the penalties should increase.

Life as a paradox

I have decided to spend more time reading and less with the locals. I might love and admire my neighbors but one must be true to what you are. I wasn't surprised when the local owner of the dive next door tokd me to pick another spot. The incedent stemmed from the incedent that I described in my blog about predjudice, Several people were uncomfortable that I carry around a book or my laptop. The formal excuse was this is not a library. No doubt there was regional prejudice against the NYC person.

I explained there are 20 other places just like yours and others appreciate the business. I also am the rare customer that never has a tab. Funny but back home in my section of Staten Island we had three bars with ten times the population.

I find it amazing that the social disfunction is exactly like the inner city without the gunfire and few minorities. I tried explaining that education or learning a trade is an investment in yourself. It is much more important to get an education then a new pick up.

People do not seem to know or care to plan ahead. There is resentment against those that do well like the immigrant that owns the local hotel. Perhaps the obvious logic that if you do not spend your days in a drunken stupor and on cigarettes you too could acheive. Yet I do not understand jealousy at all. The man in the next cubicle wins an award I am happy for him. Yet this does not extend to my community where everyone seems jealous over something job, car, education, girlfriend etc. I do not understand how down to earth people can get so twisted. Why not try to acheive yourself but there is a crab apple menatity.

I miss being able to discuss books and ideas. Perhaps there is a better spot but one must be true to themselves. I am not a carpenter and I do notfix things as a hobby. I read and try to learn each and every day.

I find the social disfunction amidst the abundant natural beauty to be the paradox of
my section of VT. I looked at the sky and my friend the North wind came to visit. She looked at me perplexed but I explained we do not see the full night stars in NYC.
I can not recall ever seeing the winter constellations. I sat with the perplexed North wind and she departed as quickly as she arrived.

Life is full of paradoxes but be true to what and who you are.

Is the use of Sports terms in the workplace sexist

This issue was actually adressed as I was told that use of baseball terms in references to a case made a coworker feel excluded. The term in question was foul ball. At first I honestly thought it was a cruel hoax but my supervisor told me it was a real complaint.

The reaction of my male coworkers was a groan of resignation. However several female coworkers were agitated as they thought it was absurd. The notion that women do not understand baseball terms itself was sexist and trivialized real sexism. In fact only one person way out on the left agreed with the original complaint.

The bottom line was that common sense should have prevailed and the coworker ask what a foul ball was. Real sexism and sexual harassment is a major problem . I do sympathize and empathize with people who are made to feel threatened and unsafe in the work place.

Another coworker had an entirely unique but interesting opinion. Baseball is part of the American culture and thus the person in question should try to familiarize herself with American Culture. I do not even want to think of where Pop culture references like Vanilla Ice and Rubiks Cube fit into that discusion.

Most PC problems like this could have been solved with common courtesy.

An Anniversary I would love not to Remember

Another year has gone by since 9-11 and WTC 93. Long term readers know that I was an eyewitness to 9-11 and a survivor of WTC 93. There are experiences etched into my soul. Yet for the remainder of my days I will bear those memories . I had to take a day off from work after seeing the footage from London. I had flashbacks to the attacks in NYC. My boss was ex military and understood and told me to stay away from the TV.

I am but a little man a winess to history. My role inconsequential as I fled to saftey in a human stampede. The most memorable thing was the look on the faces of the rescue personel . The look was one I had never seen before but I am haunted by nightly. That look gives me more nightmares then the falling bodies and debree. I could write forever and not do it justice. There look was pure determination , duty and honor.

The irony is that among the horror and worst of man was the paradox of it bringing out the best in men. The dedication to saving lives even though ones own life was in danger. I will not ever forget that expression and that is my most vivid memory of 9-11. Some of us rose to the apex of man on that day but I was just another set of eyes
racing from history as many became part of it.

I also remember a burning evil smell that causes my hair to stand up. My uncle a Holocaust Survivor spoke vividly of a haunting smell of pure evil. I always thought it was an exageration but I know exactly what he was talking about and smelled it for weeks. No doubt some of you will think that I am exagerating but I pray you never smell burning death and pure evil.

I want you to also remember the way the far left often treats men like me because we think they are insane. They want to push witnesses with the far left view as representativeof eyewitnesses and survivors. I have been called a coward for running to safety.

My greatest loss was the myth of exceptionalism all of us carry. We all think that we will rise to meet the challenge and act exceptional when confronted with a crisis. I no longer have that illusion as I was just an olrdinary man witnessing history as others joined it. Fate is funny though as one seldom understands that history is made by few but witnessed by many ordinary people. Remember the rescue personel on 9-11 as the best and most noble amongst us.

I am not a hero just a witness to a great evil transposed with the most noble of humanity in a day of chaos. Unfortunately, I will bear those memories for the remainder of my days. I have a duty to tell those that ask about the bravery of those men, my discomfort is a small price so that some remember.

Summer Reading

I am always amused when the left describes me as illiterate. The truth is you can find me with piles of books reading away.

I am waiting for Sword of the prophet by Trifkovik and Robert Spencers politcaly incorrect guide to the Crusades. I have picked up books by Sowell , Radosh and finnished Horrowitz latest effort.

I am halfway through the myth of Islamic tolerance. Bat Yeor wrote the majority of articles and is thought provoking. Her style is not for the casual reader. It is best to read a couple of pages think about it and let it sink in.

I would be long finished with that excellent book but Stolen Valor by Burkett is riveting . I read the chapter about fake POW and the damage they do. The chapter was brilliant. The stories of real POWs like McCain and Stockdale spawned a host of wannabes.

I read the first two chapters or Irsad Manjis the trouble with Islam all are excellent reading.

Moderate Priorities

Most experienced readers know that I am a moderate. The question is often asked why am I so hard on the far left and ignore the far right . The answer is found in my Judaic roots we have traditions , the far lefts tradition is SEDITION.

Our country and Western Civilization is in a fight for survival. The far left has actrd as the enablers of Muslim terror. It was okay as lomg as Jooooos, Hindoooooos and some Black Christians were being butchered. However now the chickens are home to roost and our own cities have been attacked.

What did the far left do in this crisis. Their reaction was to scream why do they hate us it must be our fault if only we didn't suport the Joooos. The far left started a range of conspiracy theories.

Message for Johny Jihad and Comrade Carl

I am an American and you will never intimidate me. You will not pass judgement on my countries history in light of the failures of your own. Freedom and Capitalism are my birth rights and I will fight anyone who lifts a finger against my country.

Yes this is my country and you will never be a part of it . The radical left is like a parasite attacking the host from the iside. Johny Jihad is like skin cancer attacking from the outside.

When the far left blames America pull out the black book read their legacy. When Johny Jihad tells you how evil America is tell him to get out and find a better country.

Freedom is to be cherished and lived and fought for at times . Utopianism ultimately
leads to totalitarianism and death.

Is Cindy Sheehan being exploited

It is painfuly apparent that Comrade Cindy Sheehan is being used by the Blame America first crowd. Every bit of evidence shows that her son did not support her insane anti semitic and Marxist views. The woman is in desperate need of professional help and her family is breaking appart. Does the left care for this woman ? Of course they do not care about her or you. She is just a willing pawn in their never ending war against Capitalism.

I find it amazing that our personal Communist antisemite 167 has proclaimed I am hell bound. Given his statements on the Pope and religious Christians I find this amazing. Do not tell a 9-11 eyewiness about and a WTC 93 survivor about hell ? I have seen Hell brought to my home by Johny Jihad. The same religious fanatics you aid and abet and encorage so long as they are blowing up jooooooos or Americans.Rationalization of religious freedom end the second violent criminal behavior against civilians is encoraged.

I occasionaly disagree with a patriotic liberal (B) about the excesses of the far left. However it is apparent that the media does not report left wing anti semitism.
Sheehan's statements were reprehensible and should have been in the front page along with her idiotic ....."this country isn't worth fighting for.." The media did not report left wing vermin harassing senior citizens in their own neighborhood calling eighty year old women "Zionist bitches" . This happened more then once at the RNC protests in NYC. Nor was the distribution of Communist material and organization of the protests noted. The media is guilty of malfeasence.

Who speaks for the minorities living under Islam

Lost in the medias obsession about fake indigenous people is the plight of real indigenous people who live under Islamic opression. They face daily abuse in their own native lands but the left turns a deaf ear. We have seen familiar far left bufoons laugh at the plight of the Copts and Assyrians. Are they not entitled to human dignity ?

Where is the concern for Christians in Pakistan and Indonesia ? Has anyone even mentioned Hindu and Bhudist minorities ? Why should the Bhai face brutal persecution in Iran. When the left talks about Sudan they talk about the tragedy in racial terms not religious.

We must keep our doors open to these people who are fleeing for their lives. I would like to see the waiting periods eliminated for religious minorities fleeing Islam. We should remember the people on the St Louis.

Over the years I have come to know many of these brave people and they all say the same thing. If you want to understand the persecution read the Koran. I have been told the exact same thing from Copts, Maronites, Jews of Islamic countries and Hindus. After I finish the current book I will do just that. People who live under Islam must have gained insight and to a man they are saying the exact same thing.
