WE ARE BOSTON FREAKING STRONG!!! 

A good friend of mine went back to Ireland to visit his family, reveling in the home of his ancestors during the warm spring in April, when the Tsarnaev brothers decided to blow up people by placing bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. This was the goal, to terrorize the public by detonating bombs that would main and kill runners and spectators at the sporting event with huge media cover, the world watching.

The world watched as the bombs exploded in Boston on Patriots Day, April 15 -- killing three people that included a child, and injuring more than 280 people, many of whom lost multiple limbs. One of the terrorists died in the aftermath shootout with police, the other brother managed to escape. In an unprecedent move, the city of Boston ordered a lockdown, garnering everyone off the streets in order to find the missing Tsarnaev brother.

It was a brilliant strategic move, undercutting the terrorist efforts to melt into the Boston cultural backdrop -- the crazed Tsarnaev brothers understood that Boston was home to an endless stream of students each year. The Tsarnaev brothers were dressed in student fatigues - jeans, sweatshirt, baseball hats - in the city famous for its elite academic institutions.

Four days after the Boston Marathon, the bloody Tsarnaev brother was found in a boat stored in a yard in nearby Watertown. Boston breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to "The Troubles" violence in Ireland, the reaction to the Boston Marathon bombings was adamantly negative in Ireland -- my friend's Irish companions slammed Boston for ordering the lockdown in order to capture the terrorist, making such a big deal out of the Marathon bombings. Boston was a city united in its quest to find the person who had committed this act of violence during Boston's prestige sporting event with the world as its stage. The unique approach to shut down the city -- ruining the terrorist's chance to escape -- was Boston Strong, agreeing to act together for the greater good.

We understood that we are not immune to the suffering of The Troubles that have become a part of everyday life in Ireland. In America, our political verbage is strong, but we do not want vulnerability in our daily lives. We are Boston Freaking Strong!

STRONG STEROID PEOPLE ARE HARDER TO KILL......

The remarkable CrossFit tagline Strong People Are Harder To Kill was created by strength training coach Mark Rippetoe, it inspired fitness buffs everywhere to strive harder at the gym – it is compelling because this tagline proclaims a very profound truth. Strong people are harder to kill... in these crazy times, there is the strong moral character that will determine who is in control of the next generation of Americans -- with the desire to survive.

People who have strength of character can withstand difficulties when the odds are against them – tough experiences shape human character. Those who have been challenged by life and retain a moral compass have built a strong inner core that is focused on survival -- adapting critical thinking, problem solving, collaborative partnerships, agility in thought, adaptability, taking initiatives -- traits that are common in seminars for leadership training, but the deal-breaker are strong people who are prepared to fight with a weapon – whether it’s an ax, knife, hammer, arrow or gun - that is the mark of the survivor.

STOPPING THE STEROID BAD GUYS

Strong Steroid Jared Remy — the son of Boston Red Sox broadcaster Jerry Remy -- was also a former Red Sox security guard until he was fired for steroid use in 2008 -- his behavior has given everyone lots of warnings that he was on the path to commit domestic violence. When he was arrested on charges of stabbing his girlfriend Jennifer Martel to death in front of their 4-year-old daughter and neighbors, it was just one day after he had been at Waltham District Court in Massachusetts on charges of slamming Martel's face into a mirror — then he was released in the liberal courtrooms of Massachusetts.

Despite 14 previous arrests, including domestic violence against two other women, Remy was allowed to walk free without bail — on an order not to abuse Martel. The next night, in the words of Martel's mother, he "went back and finished the job."

This all happened despite the fact that in Massachusetts high-risk offenders can be held in jail for a period of time, after a "dangerousness hearing" to prevent the occurence of domestic violent crime. So what went wrong here? For one thing, the judicial system let the crazed steroid buffed Jared Remy return to the streets due to his family's connections. The power elite simply ignored the danger signs when phone calls were made to Martel by the Remy family begging her not to file charges, and the end result was that Strong Steroid Jarod Remy was allowed into the public domain --- the Remy family more concerned about embarrassment of the family name, then the real threat of violence against Martel who died one day later, stabbed to death.

We live in scary times….. in terms of survival, it is important to stay focused on survival, to ignore the constant political lies, to brush aside and not get overwhelmed by the media -- try to understand the lies that are designed to stop action, prevent dreams, diminish our will -- it is more important than ever to breakout from the screaming media noise.

Get a gun….. learn how to shoot... protect thyself.

MARTHA'S VINEYARD 1% vs. CLOSING THE EMBASSIES

These are strange times, as our First Family frolicks in the Super-Rich summer playground of Martha’s Vineyard 1%, more than twenty American embassies have been closed down around the globe. While our Commander in Chief — grabs another Nine Iron on the golf course......Americans serving, traveling overseas are left unprotected, stranded.

Twenty-two U.S. embassies and consulates were closed and a U.S. global travel alert issued amid fears that Al Qaeda is set to launch attacks in the Middle East, North Africa as well as Bangladesh and Afghanistan, majority Muslim nations. This response is directly correlated to our failure to protect our embassy in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012 by heavily armed Islamic combatants who killed our ambassador and destroyed the sovereignty of our embassies.

In the exclusive enclave of Chilmark 1%, where the Obamas stay, John Molinari, owner of a local apparel shop told the press, “It’s been inconvenient to some people, and this is a very affluent community, so you’re talking about millionaires and billionaires.”

LA, DI, DA........

The Obamas skipped their annual trip to the Vineyard 1% last year during the re-election campaign — this year, the Obamas are staying in the six-bedroom estate of David Schulte, described as a Chicago-based "corporate restructuring specialist" and "friend" of the president. The home sits on nine acres that overlooks Chilmark Pond, the Atlantic Ocean, and of course has a small basketball court.

LA, DI, DA........

Traffic and security precautions taken to protect the First Family on Martha's Vineyard 1% were nowhere to be seen in Benghazi on September 11, 2012 -- nor the U.S. embassies closed in North Africa and the Middle East, as well as Bangladesh and Afghanistan, and other hotbed locations. Americans serving overseas can now be taken hostage in countries where the holy month of Ramadan is celebrated in August.... left unprotected, with dire consequences.

While the President swings another Nine Iron on the green with the Super Rich 1% -- at the exclusive Vineyard Golf Club -- the private Edgartown club where initiation fees can run as high as $500G -- American Servicemen and Servicewomen are now left in peril.

LA, DI, DA........

Looking to travel on high-risk adventures? Not able to afford a Martha's Vineyard 1% vacation this summer? Serving your country with honor in hostile nations? Here's partial list of U.S. embassy closures... AMERICANS BEWARE!

U.S. Embassy Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates U.S. Embassy Amman, Jordan U.S. Embassy Cairo, Egypt U.S. Consulate Dhahran, Saudi Arabia U.S. Embassy Djibouti, Djibouti U.S. Embassy Doha, Qatar U.S. Consulate Dubai, United Arab Emirates U.S. Consulate Jeddah, Saudi Arabia U.S. Embassy Khartoum, Sudan U.S. Embassy Kuwait City, Kuwait U.S. Embassy Manama, Bahrain U.S. Embassy Muscat, Oman U.S. Embassy Riyadh, Saudi Arabia U.S. Embassy Sanaa, Yemen U.S. Embassy Tripoli, Libya U.S. Embassy Antananarivo, Madagascar U.S. Embassy Bujumbura, Burundi U.S. Embassy Kigali, Rwanda U.S. Embassy Port Louis, Mauritius

"THE WEINER"...SEX-AHOLIC! = ...MAYOR CARLOS DANGER 

Speaking of politics, Mayor Carlos Danger.... Anthony "The Weiner" has come out of the closet, as a completely uncontrollable SEXaholic! After his stunning fall from grace, "The Weiner" appeared to be on the comeback trail, but alas Mayor Carlos Danger emerged.

The big news story is that Anthony "The Weiner" candidate, running to be the Mayor of New York City, aching to be at the helm of the greatest city in the world, sent photos of his penis across the great internet endless hemisphere.

Really?

Wait, there's Mayor Carlos Danger, alias Anthony "The Weiner"....oooops!

Weiner’s campaign manager, Danny Kedem, quit when the news story broke that his candidate could not control his "sexting" relations with women on the campaign trail. "The Weiner" admitted that he continued online communications with women after resigning from Congress in 2011 amid the "sexting" scandal -- sending raunchy photos and messages to several women -- via alias Carlos Danger. "The Weiner" is an unstoppable Sexaholic.

Wait, there's Mayor Anthony "The Weiner," alias Mayor Carlos Danger....oooops!

“Some of these things happened before my resignation. Some of them happened after,” the disgraced six-term congressman admitted. Weiner resigned in June 2011 when it was revealed that he sent a photo in his underwear to a woman via Twitter. “There is no question that what I did was wrong. This behavior is behind me,” he said, calling his digital indiscretions “problematic to say the least and destructive to say the most.”

Gossip website The Dirty claimed that Weiner, used the alias “Carlos Danger” to meet an anonymous 22-year-old woman on the website Formspring in July 2012, sending explicit photos and then having phone sex with her before the relationship “fizzled.” Weiner denied it at first, but eventually confessed that he had carried on “inappropriate” conversations through Twitter, Facebook, email and over the phone with six women over a three-year period.

. Besides Weiner’s pathetic, beleagured campaign, the public humiliation endured by his wife, Huma Abedin, is unfathomable. Why does Huma stay by his side?? A former aide to Hillary Clinton, perhaps Huma witnessed dress rehearsals for her own future -- watching Hillary's performance in the White House -- post the White House.... now Hillary's political future remains strong.

Perhaps Huma harbors her own political ambitions?

Two years after his stunning fall from grace, Weiner appeared to be back in the political game, but alas Mayor Carlos Danger emerged. Wait, there's Mayor Danger, "The Weiner"....oooops!

WHAT IF.... TREVON MARTIN HAD BEEN WHITE?

The death of an unarmed teenager, age 17 -- became a courtroom media circus, the trial on television, only because Trevon Martin was black... what if Trevon Martin had been white and George Zimmerman shot him to death? There would be no cameras in the courtroom because the verdict would be clear, GUILTY.

Zimmerman changed his initial statement that Martin was running away after their confrontation -- and a high-pitched decibal of a young voice is heard screaming for help on a 911 phone call to police by neighbors...... While there is evidence that there was a confrontation, we know who initiated the confrontation.... Zimmerman -- is this neighborhood security?

Are we really suppose to believe that Zimmerman had no choice but to shoot and kill this young man? What if Trevon Martin had been white?

Zimmerman, the neighborhood vigilante provoked the confrontation by ignoring the police directive not to leave his house -- he felt empowered to shoot and kill. When an individual decides to head out his house on his own, then shoot and kill an unarmed teenager -- the glaring question remains -- what if Trevon Martin had been white?

The question is glaring..... as Zimmerman changed his statements numerous times, there is reason to believe he is lying. We do not know the words that were said between Zimmerman and Martin that escalated the pair into a fight. There is a four minute gap in the phone call missing. It is a sad, sad situation because racial bias led Zimmerman to confront Martin, and racial bias is on trial.

What if Trevon Martin had been white?

There is evidence that there was a confrontation -- we know who initiated the confrontation -- seems obvious, the media circus, and television trial would have never come into the national spolight. GUILTY VERDICT would have been a done deal.
