The Wire in review

Season five of the wire finished recently, i dealt with all five seasons 1,2,3,4,and 5 (my blog).  From an unsteady start the wire has been an interesting drama which has had it moments that seemed to have finally gained Mr Simon some decent viewing figures.

David Simon is a talented writer (my blog) of both Homicide (you tv types didn’t watch that one), the corner which had ed burns as co writer who essentially did season 4, but the wire (which everybody saw) was the one that finally that got the attention it deserved.

Season 1 felt way too short, Season 2 got into a gear at the port, Season 3 cleaned up loose ends of 1 & 2 , season 4 got mired in education, and Season 5 did the politicing/come msm angle.

I’m not sure i would want to own the the the wire on dvd (or the next version of dvd after blueray for you suckers to rebuy everything* again) and don’t really see see its appeal that it has garnered.

Yes there have been some great performances by certain actors.  It does beat the crap normally on tv but seems easier to watch compared to the harrowing corner, or homicide life on the street.

* A a certian Ridley Scott was done a definitve ‘Gladaitor’ blueray disk with an extra 5 hours of stuff , somebody is laughing somewhere at dvd ownerss..

Gary McKinnon and his team what a bunch of idiots.

Is an idiot who I briefly mentioned here (my blog) is still trying to avoid going to America. On a bbc ‘news’* program i caught the end of on the 14th July i was updated on the goings on of this special person.

Mr McKinnon believes that little green exist and that the evidence was to be ‘found’ in american computers.  Unfortunately Mr stupid used a credit card number traceable to him, some graphical demo software with a graphical interface on the client computer and the idiot did it during american office hours.

Notice anything ? well somebody did, thus Gary the idiot became the famous little green men hunter who does not want to get raped in american prison everyday.

What is amusing is the way the legal proceedings have taken the McKinnon clan to a new level of idiotic panic.  Yes there’s a problem that if an american was found to be hunting for little green men on british computers that person would never even get to england, scotland or wales, but roll over and tickle my tummy Tony Blair thought it best that Brits can be anwerable to americans whatever the case – including the the enron three (my blog).

As a follower of a separate case in the american courts (mr soloway), Mr McKinnon admitted he did the deed without a lawyer present and was offered a deal, which guarantee or not he then refused as was not ‘watertight’.

As an observant bystander my conclusion of the team of idiots who advise our little green men hunter is nothing short of comtempt. Indeed no american criminal plea bargain is a garantee but the courts do take guidance from said documents.

I am not a lawyer, but even i know a fool when i see one, Gary has been fucked by a lot a people including Tony Blair.

The moral to this ? – don’t hire any of Mr McKinnons legal team they know absolutely nothing about american legal procedings..  Consider yourself advised

Satan’s Circus, Mike Dash

In New York from 10th avenue to sixth avenue across, and from 23rd street up to 57 street (near central park) was an area in the early part of last century was called ‘Satans circus’.

‘Anything’ went and apparently a cosy arrangement between the police and those who ran establishments meant no problems. Europeans should be reminded that america has some odd ideas of the demon even today, after all they invented the sex addict, drink is ‘bad’ so ‘anything’ might have been quite innocent, but get a bible basher on the case and things get fun, it will be amusing when some american invents the banana addict as a mental condition.

A mix of the law, a corrupt police force, and politics introduces us to Charley Becker who apparently was the only policement to be sentenced for death.

Mr Becker was guilty of bribe taking, but was he the police laison to the gangs that controlled gambling,drinking and prostitution which the charge of arranging the death of one of those who was going to tell all.

isbn 9781862079663 details the life of new york, and the evovement of policing from rent a thug, to beginning to apply that public duty thing.

The book is a little lost, everybody is dead and the first two hundred pages could be shortened greatly, the details of the trail and botched execution (think of the film the green mile [imdb:tt0120689] ) get a quick set to.

The true story is in there but this book nearly lost my attention, and it brings no new evidence to the story. One might see Mr Becker as police reformer, or a victim but neither of those attributes really describe him.

2/5 bananas.

The moral to the tale – the more you ban, or greater the opportunity to criminalise it and corrupt others.. A lesson few people learn and politicains don’t because there stupid.

One might well argue that the american puritan created the mobster.

common sense advice.

Pythias Brown – TSA/DHS crook of Newark

In this we meet a George W Bush baggage inspector and dildo stealer. Mr Brown (reunion.com) loves your electrical gadgets you pack in you baggage including a

$47,900 camera stored inside a bag.

Pythias who worked at Newark airport looking for your computers and cameras to steal since he found no valuable Iraqi wmd*. If a professional camera looks like wmd then why not sell it on ebay, after all its the republican way**.

The thing is this, the DHS/TSA could not be bothered to investigate and a concerned business had to make a complaint to a local police force.  if that is not corruption then what is ?

Im quite sure Mr Brown will be voting McCain/Palin after all its good for stealling.

* Im sure would have ebayed that too ** well think about it

William Wilberforce, William Hague

is isbn: 9780007228850, and is a slightly nicer book to read in hardback opposed to the paperback and takes not so long to get into the period as with the authors first book (reviewed here) but your experience might vary.

It is another book by William Hague [wiki], and is funny to read at times, for many of the ‘issues’ of the 1780’s could be now, for instance sunday as a ’special’ day. Drinking (although cholera is a nice disease to die from) and asbo’s it appears have always been a part of ‘british’ life.

Wilberforce is an odd character it strikes the monkey house – sometimes a lunatic of religion other times a loyal allay to Younger PItt and others, but who got the message that serving god without the human compromise means your a weirdo so he some common sense.

Wilberforce was the force behind the campaign to abolish slavery which is something the Muslims/Africans permitted and which even Pitt the younger thought needed international approval to be effective as a ban with the then superpowers. Fighting wars on three continents, a mad king and other issues kept him rather busy despite pushing through anti slavery legislation.

However unlikely that was in reality meant that Wilberforce got the credit when the leglisation to stop slavery passed into english law even though the slave trade was something that was never a major part of the uk economy and an offshore industry for a few.

Wilberforce was a true independent of parliament (Hull* and then Yorkshire) who despite the odd views was a humanist and happy to speak his mind on wrongs so is deserving of a book but the slaving subject matter leaves me cold. The problem is that Pitt the younger was right and intentions of just one country mean little.

Some portray Wilberforce as the man who can do no wrong, cue that slavery hymn, whips and that tv series and the odd hammy film (imdb tt0454776  [not seen so best avoid] ) and wala you got a ‘hero’. The reality is that he was one of a team who saw the wrong and pursued it for a lifetime.

Its funny that we all look to France or America for liberty but pour scorn on the british empire when those two powers decided to continue slaving after the British took steps to actively stop the trade (which the african leaders of the time where annoyed at)

It is interesting that despite the man’s efforts the feeble minded church fold have to end up doing stupid stunts like this today (my blog).  Malthus (my blog) is also a book that should be rammed up a few peoples bottoms even today.

An interesting and informing read none the less 3/5 bananas.

‘Sir Ian Blair’ – Nazi policeman finally steps down

Was a rather stupid policeman, unlike your average english policeman he was a university graduate probably never spent a day in his policing anything except a desk.

The police have this ‘problem’ in england, desks can be ‘arresting’.

The desk is hard taskmaster, it means being politically astute which when Blair teamed up with the new labour nazis, and he shot a certain Brazillian just for fun.

Bananas as a london zoo resident welcomes the loss of this idiot policeman, we shall be celebrating with the Brazilian community tonight.

Rambling with Rambo in the West Bank

Jewish settler on the West bank

‘Rambling’ if it should get lost in translation means walking for fun* i understand some humans do it, Rambo is the name of a character in some american films which i’m sure you might be aware of.

Mr Sylvester Stallone (who is Rambo) is also a bit of a coward, i understand that he refused to entertain American troops in Iraq even though he is republican by nature or so the rumour mill goes.

Anyhow that’s not the point of this post as it has something to do with a book that won the 2008 Orwell Book Prize. That Book is called ‘Palestinian Walks’ by Raja Shedadeh and sports a Banksy orginal on the front cover so it has got to be a cultured read (its isbn: 9781861978042).

So how is a book on walking political ?, Mr Shedadeh is a lawyer and has observed the rape of law by the Jewish in the ‘disputed’ territory of the west bank – this is bible country ** and so this argument goes back centuries.

Mr Shedadeh keeps his book ‘recent’ and avoids boring us to death with centuries debate and covering the land acquisitions by Israel and how the old british maps of land ownership and the ‘management’ of the land has been eroded into new settlements for Jews only by foul means.

Walking is safe ? well in the West bank it might mean getting shot at and even the jewish drug addicts have guns. So if you thought Rambling was boring then perhaps your doing it in the wrong place.

So why the the picture of Rambo ? i hear you. Well theres a pun, it has guns in and Mr Shedadeh describes that while peace accords and what not come and go this farm land is being removed and unlikely to be returned and those politicians dont care about it.

The writing is crisp, and explains the abuse well. A Banksy cover of the wall between there bit of the west bank and the Palestinian bits means i give this book 4/5 Bananas.

* humans ** what a cigarette brand that would be

fairy dust.

Libel is a funny thing, its a civil law thing, opposed to criminal law but mix the two together with a mystery and add the msm’ers (thats rupert murdoch and co) in the mix and poof everybody is innocent, nobody (bbc) it seems did it, not the wanting parents (missing something or other).

Since nobody did it, or a reward never be paid*, i am assuming the mode of the middle class tea drinking female human detective hero that inhabits the strange world of the english country house it was the pope welding an axe that did it.

It did happen in a catholic country after all.  What perhaps is worrying is that  the press is prejudging somebody for being there on no evidence, and that the people missing something apparently wont talk to the police but trying to influence everybody that they are not guilty.

Overall the justice depends upon the facts provided, blaming some person for the hell of just being there seems wrong.  I say blame the pope with the axe in the bedroom.

* thus assumes guilt

my views on Robert Soloway

Since i am probably one of the few people who have kept an eye things this spammer has been doing for a couple of years I try to leave comment at http://thisfool.com. the pages google site and opsan’s blog rather than here.

The word to remember while the Judge does her business is that Mr Soloway is guilty, and cannot appeal that.  What is up in the air is the sentence, plea bargain or not the Judge (as i understand) is still independent.

Whenever the court finishes (monday or tuesday 15 July) we should be in a better place to understand the ramifications.  There’s as usual rather a lot of bullshit (or effluent) coming from the the defence side most of which is easily debunked.

The evidence stands that Soloway is a spammer, and it has taken a criminal court to haul him in after ignoring overtures from many.  Whatever your view i have mine so go read up.

Theres no point in guessing.  So until Tuesday happy reading
