Open Letter to Borders Books


I didn't write this, but I'm proud to share this Open Letter from Mr Robert Bidinotto, to Borders/Waldenbooks, calling them out on their recent cowardly capitulation to imagined, as-yet-uninflicted bullying.
The Borders Debacle

Share this with friends, Americans, Brits, Canadians and Europeans even...

The gentlemen drawn to the right really is NOT Mr. Robert Bidinotto, editor of The New Individualist, but is Alex Sandler of Baguio City, Phillipines, and an avid reader of New Individualist which you may find HERE.

And a special Howja-Dew to Mr Conn, from Ireland!

Bulldozers and The Logic-Impaired of Today


Today's recording is about a girl almost as flat as the two lovelies pictured to the right, and they measured 14 mm deep, although they are almost 90 cm tall.

No, its a last-effort to nail shut the coffin for a young woman who went wrestling with a Big Bulldozer and, unaccountably, came in Second, while the bulldozer only came in next-to-last!

The lovelies (shown to the right) were in Diamond Street, outside Diamond Hotel in south Pattaya, but alas! they are no more.

Like the lady in our featured song.

A Spoonful of Medicine Makes the Sugar Go Down

The re-awakened interest in religion is clearly far from having reached its peak, whether the search for justice or the polar-contrasting 'extraterrestrial sightings, self-discovery regimens, wilderness retreats, charismatic exaltation, New Age enthusiasms, or the consciousness-raising efficacy attributed to narcotics and hallucinogens'...

On the contrary.

The phenomenon is the product of historical forces that steadily gather momentum. Their common effect is to erode the certainty, bequeathed to the world by the twentieth century, that material existence represents ultimate reality.

k1-Orianna Fallaci re-evaluates Islamist goals in light of this obvious bankruptcy.

WHY Spoons?

WHY Brain Surgery With Spoons? (Right-click and "Save as...")

It’s like this. If you’ve ever tried to rationally & courteously discuss or explain something like, oh, say Islamo-fascist terrorism, and the person you’re speaking with responds with non sequiturs, and anger, and base accusations and invective at YOU, rather than the thugs and terrorists, then you KNOW the feeling of trying to perform brain surgery with spoons.

So I decided to sharpen my spoons, and lengthen some of their handles, and craft them of copper and titanium and stainless steel and chrome!

I honed my spoons to razor sharpness, welded some together to double-edged perfection and widened the spoons to near-spatulate capacity.

Some of my spoons are right-handed, and some are left-handed. (I borrowed these from Christopher Hitchens.) Some of my spoons are fitted with ultrasonic transducers and carborundum tips, so they cut through even the most stubborn idiotarian mind-crud!

Why go to all the trouble?

Because I KNOW the value of the independent investigation of truth, especially when seeking Justice. By its light, I see with my own eyes and not through the eyes of my neighbor, and know of my own knowing and not through the knowledge of others.

This way, I feed myself spoon after spoon of righteous facts, and deliver a loving spoonful of factual fortification to the person I’m addressing.

These spoons are not for sale.

Issues of Trust

There's a reason humans continue to trust, and its NOT just because God says its a good thing. Well, maybe it is, because rationally, if God says trust and trustworthiness are becoming of humans, then we'll find scientific validation of this sooner or later, but the scientific validation was what sparked this post.

Trust and trustworthiness, contracts and trust, have been attacked and beset by thugs and tyrants since at least 1848, according to Chris Chantrill, whose essay is quoted here. (Right-click and "Save as...")

ROPMA! A Brief Refresher Quiz


Good morning Monday!

What a world, with Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40 displaying their spiritual bankruptcy and mental poverty for all the world to see, especially in Baghdad.

So to refresh our memories of who's giving us all this excitement, "The ROPMA.Net Quiz", for your listening pleasure!

And yes, I encourage you to suggest items for future recordings, OR email them to karridine-at-gmail.com


When a strong, clearly-perceivable pattern develops over a period of more than 20 years, choosing NOT to see the pattern is a sign of sickness.

Moreover, when the disease elements are seeking to dominate, enslave or KILL YOU, willfully disregarding the symptoms of the disease, or pretending that the symptoms flow from and are caused by the goodwill, generosity and restraint of free nations around the world, is willfully akin to SUICIDE!

"Nope... I really don't see a pattern here to justify a terrorist profile, do you?”

So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to use common sense to recognize certain people fitting a pattern. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone because they fit the characteristics of ‘terrorist.

Smooth Transitions

John Ladalski has carved out a niche for himself, first as an actor in martial-arts films, next as a martial arts choreographer and stunt coordinator.

Any time you're getting dull or bored, scrape some of the accumulated shlup off your frontal lobes, spoon-feed yourself a change of pace, and shift your career.

Not radically, just in a new direction that still rewards, satisfies and offers growth options!

BW: Who, Sir?

A-N: The usual gang of idiots, Great Satan, Little Satan and Kaa’ba Kingdom of Klowns!

BW: But they think you’re making nuclear weapons-

A-N: Not at all, it is their just desserts. In this case, no Jews, just deserts! Hah!

Brain Surgery on the Dead


The Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand (FCCT) turns 50 this year, and is outdoing itself in hosting dynamic, effective people from all around the world, and tonight 180 discerning correspondents listened and grilled (Kunying [roughly, Lady]) Porntip
Rojanasunan
, Thailand's first all-star practitioner of responsible forensic pathology.

She spoke in highly-educated English, and tread a careful path between telling the truth and telling the WHOLE truth, which could 'get me in big trouble tomorrow.'

With a well-prepared slide show, and a warning as she began that the material she would cover included graphic, real-life pictures of dead and abused adults and children, she moved quickly through her well- presented program, emphasising the following:

+ Thailand's urgent and chronic need for good forensics practitioners; and
+ Thailand's similar need for forensics to be codified and set into Thai criminal law;
+ but there is ongoing active and passive obstruction, obfuscation, foot-dragging, dawdling and smoke-screening by high-level (but unnamed) Thai police.

!+ There are problems with transparency, in Thailand. Deaths are investigated with police and the legally-mandated, usually local village, doctor. This leads to problems of misdiagnosis, shoddy investigation (when there IS an investigation), and huge frustration among survivors, family and friends. Oh, and widespread police anger at Porntip's team, and its successful (and publicized) investigations.

!+ Un-Identified Remains Problems: Thailand currently has between 2 and 5,000 UI human remains cases pending; and widespread police anger at Porntip's team, and its successful (and publicized) investigations of some of these. There are conflicting laws that pertain to these, and none of them approach or approximate similar Australian, American or British laws and forensics practices.

!+ Although there are some highly competent practitioners of Forensic Medicine, there are only 5 practitioners of Forensic Pathology in Thailand, with its current population of 63 million souls.

Lady Porntip ( often called Doctor Death or 'Spikey' because of her bold hairdo) is tireless in taking her message of the Need to Improve Thai law, forensics and public awareness, but there is widespread police anger at Porntip's team, and its successful (and publicized) investigations.

The message came through: when she investigates as an authorized member of the Justice Department of Thailand, (persons unnamed) demand that she work under the local auspices of the military; which then gets orders within 48-to-36 hours, to leave the crime-scene and return to Bangkok. This leaves only the police to investigate controversial deaths, which fills them with anger at Porntip's team, and its successful (and publicized) investigations.

At the end of her prepared program, Lady Porntip fielded questions about the TWIX-Poisonings at TESCO-Lotus; about conditions at migrant camps, from 'Save the Children'; and questions from several independent journalists about police anger and police capability regarding crime scene investigations; and a question from someone representing Pajamas Media.

Whatever that is.
Whoever that could be.

I'm SMITTEN!

One of the stars of RENT, Tracy Thoms graced the Bangkok Film Festival 2006 with her vivacious smile, her gracious answering of questions she's probably heard dozens of times over in promoting this excellent film, and her sparkling presence on-screen.

You want gushing praise, however, you'll have to find it elsewhere. Me? I wanted some vocal fireworks, but noooo...

Ah well, may her career continue in excellence, and may her star continue to rise!

A Few Last BKK Film Fest Posts

Here is the sketch from Sunday's closing ceremony. Willem Dafoe, in his rugged splendor.

Humble opinion time: this is one of today's most versatile actors, capable competent and with a broad dramatic palette and wide appeal.

He caught my attention in "Streets of Fire" as the heavy, and I watched with interest as Willem, Rick Moranis, Bill Paxton, Diane Lane, Stony Jackson and Amy Madigan left poor Michael Pare in the dust of B-flicks, to pursue their careers on Hollywood's A-list, even if some of them are A-minus.
