Avo No. 2: Where It All Began

Avo, cigars, The Happy Little Cigar Book, Top Shelf Cigar Shoppe

I was in a cigar shop. It was Top Shelf Cigars of Augusta, Georgia. I made my way around the humidor. Fate turned my gaze to the Dominican section in the back. There I happened upon a happy little box – the Avo Classic No. 2. Memories flooded my mind.

As I wrote in The Happy Little Cigar Book the Avo No. 2 was the first premium Cigar I ever purchased. That first encounter was almost eleven years ago. Times and my tastes have changed. Having gone a good while without an Avo I decided to light one up.

Back then I smoked after a steak dinner. Now I proceeded having just come off the road. The experience was much the same. A few years older and a few pounds lighter I still thoroughly enjoyed this stick.

Gettin going. Perrin Lovett.

Avo Uvezian is a famed pianist and composer. On a junket to Switzerland in 1983 he had the brilliant idea to craft his own cigar blend. He teamed with Hendrik Kelner from Davidoff. The rest is history.

Gentlemen’s Gazzett notes the Avo Classic “remains a perfect reflection the cigar maker’s credo.” The Cigar Inspector gives it a 4.5 star rating. I agree. This is certainly not my usual fare. I, being now experienced in what I really enjoy, go for fully bodied and, dare I admit, dirtier cigars – the stuff of black Nicaraguan dirt. However, I found the No. 2 as intriguing today as I did in 2005.

The burn and draw are flawless. Once I had it going I did not once have to touch up. My toro natural was as well composed as any work of Uvezian. The smoke is super smooth like a really good Cuban. The taste is a bit milder perhaps – almost “creamy” whatever that denotes. There is nothing milky about it. I equate this to light and smooth. It is a very easy smoke. Any novice can handle it with ease and without fear. I have recommended this more than once as a first cigar. Veterans will relish the simplicity as well.

Along the way a few sublte notes of pepper and other tastes evolved. None were substantial enough to warrant a label of “spicy” however. Their coming and going mingled perfectly with the overall character of the smoke.

I had no steak or other sustenance beyond a brown ale. Oddly enough I pared this very mild cigar with a Maduro Brown Ale from Cigar City Brewing (Tampa, FL). The haphazard blend came off perfectly.

Perfect is how I can best describe the No. 2. It is a perfect companion for a thoughtful evening of reflection, an overdue private conversation, or any moment of relaxation. And, as a bonus, it won’t leave you with “horse breath” as the tobacconist put it over a decade ago.

Smooth unto the end. Perrin Lovett.

From a master composer and a master blender comes a master’s smoke. Enjoy an Avo Classic at your local smoke shop soon – for old times sake or for a smooth balanced delight.

 

Suffer the Banksters

The American government is owned by bankers and operated for their good.I don’t mean your friends at the local credit union. I mean the central banks and their criminal associates. They are charter members of the Big Club that owns the country, most of it. They want it all, everything we have including our very lives.

Yesterday I blasted the GOP for their support of drafting women to fight for corporate profit. No entity profits more off of war than central banks and their commercial minions. They want all our children in servitude.

They also lock people up for civil debts despite a supposedly absolute legal ban on debtors prisons. The banks have U.S. Marshals hauling people into court in handcuffs and forcing those people, at gun point, to sign onto repayment plans for allegedly delinquent student loans. For now it just student loans. Maybe tomorrow it will be credit cards and mortgages too.

The shame of this is double. The illegally arrested poor are likely in court due to default judgments in cases they knew nothing about until they were arrested. Most of these cases probably suffer from a total lack of evidence. Also, these loans were of money created out of thin air. It cost the banks and the government nothing to create this fiat. Repayment, however, requires years of work. This is little more than slavery. That’s what they want – a nation of slaves.

Years ago they did away with high denomination paper money. Actually, they did away with money altogether. Now they’re targeting the $100 Bill. This is the next step towards eliminating cash completely. This will force everyone into the banking system and give the criminals total control over the monetary supply.

They want your money, your daughters, your lives. In 1836 Andrew Jackson allegedly said of the Banksters, “You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the grace of the Eternal God, will rout you out.” He was a man of his word. We desperately need that spirit again.

Absolute Failure

America, Congress, corporatism, Democrats, election, evil, freedom, government, murder, politicians, President, Republicans, slavery, The draft, The People, War

I don’t watch political debates. It’s not that I don’t like being lied to while a hoard of morons cheer like drunken sheep. I don’t like either. I’ve watched these things before, many of them, on television. I’ve been to more than a few in person. Only once – at a live Senatorial debate – did I ever hear something that I agreed with and respected. And that was a simple, one word answer.

My objection stems from economical consideration of my personal resources. I don’t waste my time on hours of pointless stupidity that be surveyed the next day through transcripts and video clips.

First, a quick word about that one word answer. In 2003 or 2004 (I think) I ventured down to a GOP “Christian” Coalition debate between several candidates for Georgia’s then open U.S. Senate seat. The moderator asked the assembled men if they supported President Bush’s plan to offer amnesty to illegal aliens. Johnny Isaacson, the man who eventually won election, gave a rambling political answer that put half the audience to sleep. I can’t remember if he said yea or nay. Next, Mac Collins explained for several minutes his deep rooted connection to Georgia. ‘I worked the Georgia clay with my own hands,’ and so forth. Again, no cogent answer. Then Herman Cain answered with a simple “no.”

Such simplistic honesty is exceedingly rare during debates (in all of politics too). Usually candidates try to one up each other while trying to tell the people what they want to hear.

Sometimes politicians stumble upon or march straight into dangerous and frightening territory. Such was the case at the recent Republican debate in new Hampshire.

In respnse to a question about the Selective (Slavery) Service, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, and Chris Christie expressed verbal support for drafting our young women into the military. If silence is consent, the other pitiful candidates concurred with the deranged threesome. Only Ted “carpet bomb” Cruz dissented. His objection stemmed from old-fashioned chivalry which I agree with. However, he’s as big a warmonger as an. He would have no trouble marching our sons off die fight and die for the banks, just not our daughters. I have no use for any of these degenerates.

uncle-sam-kissinger

Women too, it seems. Google.

As Rothbard wrote in 1973, “Conscription is slavery.” His concern was that conscription is a 100% tax on a man’s life. It is. It’s also terrible for other reasons. It allows commanders a degree of recklessness regarding martial strategy. If you get all your men killed more can just be called up to replace them.

“War is a racket,” wrote Smedley Butler. They are generally fought for nefarious reasons having nothing to do with domestic security or tranquility. In a decent and morally sound country there should be no shortage of men volunteering to defend the homeland if actually threatened. The country’s government that resorts to drafting men is up to no good. That country is headed into darkness. A country that drafts women is an absolute failure and does not deserve to exist.

At the GOP insanity show Martha Raddatz of ABC News noted that Army and Marine chiefs had just told Congress women should register with Selective Service as men do. She then asked, “Many of you have young daughters. Senator Rubio, should young women be required to sign up for selective service in case of a national emergency [?]”

Here follow the entire answer of Rubio, Bush and Christie (transcript by cnsnews.com):

Rubio responded: “Well first, let me say there are already women serving today in roles that are like combat, that in fact whose lives are in very serious danger. So I have no problem whatsoever with people of either gender serving in combat, so long as the minimum requirements necessary to do the job are not compromised. But I support that. And, obviously, now that that is the case I do believe that selective service should be opened up for both men and for women in case a draft is ever instituted.”

After this, Rubio made some statements about the need to reverse the weakening of the U.S. military.

Raddatz then put the question about women registering for the selective service to Bush.

Raddatz: “Gov. Bush … Do you believe that young women should sign up for selective service—be required to do so?”

Bush responded: “I do. I do. And I think that we should not impose any kind of political agenda on the military. There should be—if women can meet the requirements, the minimum requirements, for combat service, they ought to have the right to do it, for sure.”

After this, Bush made some statements about the need to strengthen the military.

Then Raddatz asked Bush a follow-up question about his statement that he supports having young women sign up for the selective service. This led to an exchange between her and Bush.

Raddatz asked: “Tell me what you would say to American people out there, who are sitting at home, who have daughters, who might worry about those answers?”

Bush: “Why would they worry about it?”

Raddatz: “–and might worry that the draft is reinstituted?”

Bush: “Well, the draft is not going to be reinstituted. But why—if women are accessing—”

Raddatz: “But you can just do away with it?”

Bush: “No, I didn’t say that. You asked the question not about the draft, you asked about registering. And if women are going to be supporting– ”

Raddatz: “You register for the draft—if it’s reinstituted.”

Bush: “But we don’t have a draft. I’m not suggesting we have a draft. What I’m suggesting is that we ought to have readiness being the first priority of our military, and secondly that we make sure that the moral is high. And right now neither one of those is acceptable because we have been gutting the military budget. We also need to reform our procurement process. We need to make sure that there are more men and women in uniform than civilians in our Defense Department. There’s a lot of things that we need to do to reform, to bring our defense capabilities into the 21st century and I am the guy that can do that. That’s why I have the support of generals of admirals of 12 Medal of Honor recipients and many other people that know I would be a steady commander in chief and rebuild our military.

Raddatz: “Thank you very much.”

Gov. Chris Christie then stepped into the discussion to give his answer to the question.

Christie: “Martha, can I be really clear on this, because I am the father of two daughter—one of them is here tonight. What my wife and I have taught our daughters right from the beginning: that their sense of self-worth, their sense of value, their sense of what they want to do with their life comes not from the outside but comes from within. And if a young woman in this country wants to go and fight to defend her country she should be permitted to do so. And part of that also needs to be a part of a greater effort in this country. So, there is no reason why one young woman should be discriminated against from registering for the selecting service. The fact is we need to be a party and a people that makes sure that our women in this country understand anything they can dream, anything they want to aspire to, they can do. That’s the way we raised our daughters and that’s what we should aspire to as president for all the women in our country.”

Where to start, where to start?

Christie, all 400 pounds of him, wants to save women from discrimination. Isn’t that nice? A young woman’s worth comes from within. The draft comes from without, from Washington, from overweight, hairbrained idiots like Christie. Discrimination from criminal slavery is a good thing, it should apply to all.

Foamio is at least honest that this is about the draft, if ever reinstituted. “Obviously” it should be open to all. All except the well connected, bankers, and politicians, of course.

Bush seemed to take issue with the actual draft. “Well, the draft is not going to be reinstituted.” Really? Then why not abolish the Selective Service altogether? 

“Why would [the American people with daughters] worry about it? This smug stupidity is why I can’t watch debates nor support these candidates and their government. My answer to Bush’s question is simple (and likely beyond his comprehension). I have a daughter. I love her more than anything else in the world. I will not have her coerced into fighting for a corrupt, evil government and its Satanic globalist masters. I am willing to die and to kill to save her from such a fate.

The Bush family has a century long history of war profiteering. It started with Sam Bush and the War Industries Board of WWI (war for corporate profit). Sam and his banker son, Sam, continued the tradition in WWII (war for corporate profit). In WWII, a direct extension of WWI, the Bush men bet on both sides (a practice perfected by the Rothschilds).

President George Bush the 1st, former head of the Machiavellian CIA, wasted no time making war on Iraq (war for corporate profit). President George Bush the 2nd continued that war (for corporate profit) and launched another in Afghanistan (war for corporate profit). 

These wars killed and mained scores of millions of people. They were also the lifeblood of armorment companies, investment bankers and central banks, along with parasitic beaurocrats the world over. I do not wish to see Jeb or anyone else continue this never-ending cycle of death and destruction.

Those in attendance at the debate did not share my sentiments. That rabble of fat, ignorant, sickly looking heathens cheered the notion of enslaving women to government service. 

The Democrats offer nothing better. Their words are usually different, their dastardly deeds the same.

Dragging women into combat for corporations will be the coup de grâce of the old, dying Republic. It will see us from pathetically defeated to utter ruination.

Friends, do not partake of this madness; fight it.

America, Antonin Scalia, Constitution, law, Supreme Court

Yesterday Senior Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died at a resort in Texas. So passes the last originalist champion of the old Constitution.

Wikipedia.

Scalia was recognized, even by his detractors, as perhaps the most intelligent, well reasoned man ever on the Court. Frequently his words, majority or minority, were the only ones worth reading in opinions. His dissenting opinion, often all alone, was legendary.

Political speculation abounds regarding his potential replacement. Obama or the next President will fill the now open seat. However, this man’s legacy and position are irreplaceable.

Thank you and God rest you, Justice Scalia.

≈ Comments Off on Happy Saint Valentines Day

Hold the roses and candy for a second. Saint Valentine was a real Roman priest during the third century. This was just prior to the sanctioning and adoption of Christianity by the Empire. Thus, Valentine was persecuted for his belief and practices. The romantic association evolved from his (illegal) marriage of several Roman soldiers and their sweethearts in the church. For his crimes he was executed, supposedly on or about February 14th.

So, when you wish to be someone’s Valentine, you actually express love unto martyrdom. Remember that for a moment admid the modern, commercial descent into neo-paganism. Add the “Saint” to your amorous expression.

Shoot Then Shut Up

13 Saturday Feb 2016

Posted by perrinlovett in Legal/Political Columns

Despite being nominally peaceful the modern world can seem a dangerous place. Sometimes the danger is real, real enough to warrant the use of deadly force in response. Previously I have written about this rare but adrenaline charged scenario from a legal standpoint. Today Marc J. Victor offers excellent legal education for those who may be confronted with a self-defense shooting. He offers five observations based on his decades as a defense attorney:

First, do not talk to the police. I’ve said this time and time again. You have a right to remain silent – remain silent. I would expand on this point by saying not to talk to anyone except your attorney. Friends, relatives, neighbors, and the media can all be called as witnesses against you based on what you told them and how they remember it. I disagree with Victor on only one issue – 911.

911 is a government service, an extension of the police. Do not call 911 yourself. The exception is only if you created the situation that lead to the shooting incident (which, by itself, may not preclude innocence in the shooting). One has a legal and a moral duty to report such circumstances. These are rare. The thug who tried to carjack you (whom you shot) created the problem. You merely rendered yourself aid, solving the problem.

If the shooting ocurrs away from your home, leave reporting to witnesses. Odds are they will dial 911. If there is nobody around but you and the body(S), consider the matter over and leave. Speak to no one except perhaps an attorney or a priest. We are surrounded by cameras these days. If the police learn about you via a recording, let the recording serve as the witness. It should later serve as your defense in court; your attorney can narrate it. You say nothing.

If the shooting happens at your home, then your neighbors will likely call 911. Let them. Say nothing. If you have no neighbors or if hours pass without the police arriving, consider the matter over. Maybe invest in a good shovel.

The rest of Victor’s analysis centers on the failed American “justice” system, reasonableness, and perception. These are important to consider prior to a shooting and critical when talking to a lawyer. Read his examples and exceptions.

After a shooting or even absent one the police may come calling on you for your gun(s). They may be looking for other valuables as well. If it’s not the government, it may be ordinary criminals. In addition to not speaking to them or consenting to their expedition you may also want to make their searches difficult if not completely futile. If you don’t want it discovered, hide it.

Deja Vu

Economic collapse, economy, Federal Reserve

The other day I reported things are looking like 2008 all over again, economically speaking. I must have had it all wrong. The Dow came back over 300 points based on rumors of limited oil production and a statement from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

New York Fed President William Dudley said things are just dandy. He said the financial industry is “clearly stronger” than it was ahead of the last financial crisis. Cleary. Cleary the banks were not very strong then as their condition precipitated the crisis. What are words anyway? Nothing more than descriptive terms.

This rosey description rang a bell in my memory. I recall hearing something similar before.

Ah, yes. Just prior to the 2008 crisis the Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke said the financial sector was just dandy – as strong as ever. He kept repeating that lie … um, line right up until the meltdown was undeniable. As late as May 15, 2008 Bernanke said:

I strongly urge financial institutions to remain proactive in their capital-raising efforts. Doing so not only helps the broader economy but positions firms to take advantage of new profit opportunities as conditions in the financial markets and the economy improve. (Emphasis mine).

That was just after Bear Stearns sold at a fire sale price and just before Lehman Brothers went under. Then came TARP, Bush’s betrayal of real capitalism, and tens of Trillion$ in Fed funny money for banks in the U.S. and Europe. You may recall the housing crash and high unemployment. Fun stuff. Never stronger.

The lesson learned is if the Fed says the economy is well, then the bottom is about to fall out. It’s deja vu all over again.

No Debate

America, Economic collapse, election, Federal Reserve, government, politicians, recession

I haven’t wasted any of my time watching the Presidential debates this year. After each one, usually the next day, I catch snipetts of the various lies told. It all seems scripted, routine and disingenuous to me. They all talk about themselves, each other, more wars we won’t win, and how the government can help us.

One thing no politician since Ron Paul has mentioned is the dreadful state of the economy and how the government helped it get that way.

A few months ago, against conventional wisdom, I said we were moving into a recession. Now people are starting to agree with me. Analysts, pundits, economists, bankers, even Janet Yellen are now muttering the “R” word. Week by week the chatter intensifies. Week by week the measure of everything, except gold, falls. I’m sure at least one rodent candidate must have said something but none of them can say anything substantial.

They can’t and they won’t because they do not understand what is happening and because they are part of the problem (they and their corporate masters).

All economies move in cycles, expansions and contractions. In a free market, absent central banking and government interference, corrections (recessions and depressions) fix themselves in rapid fashion. Only central planning can slow or intensify bad times. In the early 1920s America experienced a severe depression; it lasted a year, yielding to “roaring” good times. Another depression struck in 1929. This time, aided by the unholy alliance of the Federal Reserve and the Federal government, the bad times lasted about 15 years.

Back then there was an economy to recover. Today America is a hollow shell of debt, entitlements, and gambling. The Alliance played its perhaps final, ultimate hand in masking the 2008 financial crisis and recession. Nothing was actually fixed. In fact things are worse now than they were then. Day by day the unraveling becomes more tangible. We’re about to enter uncharted territory that the experts say could destroy the economy (the same experts that helped get us here). A recession may be the best, mildest outcome. What comes after recession? Depression? Total collapse? A dark age?

Still the lying election rats say nothing. In there defense there isn’t much to say. Or do. It would be best to allow whatever scenario is coming just play out. Then we could rebuild. However, something tells me the charletons will try to make things just a little worse if they can.

Have fun watching the next debate.

Pointless Predictions

America, debt, election, government, politics, The People, War

Way down here in Dixie it snowed a few weeks ago. It was a lovely, brief powder dusting that lasted half a day; I wrote about it. Then, the next week, we were back in the 70s.

I declared winter was over. After all this is the South and it felt like spring.

Yesterday it snowed again. What do I know?

Similarly predictions and declarations are flying around the 2016 Presidential election both from Democrats and from Republicans. Not from the candidates themselves, per se. They just keep on lying, podium pounding, and reciting lines provided by their handlers. America does not run on Dunkin; America runs on BS.

Some of the lesser hopefuls are dropping out – Paul, Christy, Fiorina, et al. That happens as the bankers narrow their choices. The pundits say the people make the choices. They say a lot of things. From the left and from the right come predictions of triumph, doom, concession, etc.

Right now the hubbub surrounds Trump and Sanders based on events in New Hampshire. That is subject to change as we move deeper into the year. None of it matters. For arguments sake let’s suppose the election comes down to the wild-haired Business Tycoon and the wild-haired National Socialist. What’s the difference? What’s the big deal? Haven’t we seen this all before?

In 2000 the people and the Supreme Court decided (with the bankers’ blessings) a tough talking businessman was needed to save us from the deprivations of his predecessor. Whereas the predecessor expanded the scope of government, doubled the debt, and bombed foreign places where America has no interests, the cowboy businessman further expanded the government, doubled the debt, and bombed foreign places where America has no interests. Oddly, the names and same families from yesteryear are again front and center in this year’s election. The bankers are not very imaginative. That, or the country has degenerated to the point that this is all we’re left with. Could be both.

In 2008, amidst pomp about hope, change, diversity, and other BS, a limp-wristed, suedo-intellectual socialist was chosen to save us from the malpractice of the cowboy. He’s not quite finished with his second term but the results are in: he has expanded the government, doubled the debt, and slings bombs all around the globe. Notice a pattern?

It does not matter who the next chosen “leader” is. The Donald, Bernie, Hillary, or Foamio will give us more of the same. I know the television and tattoos crowd is all bent on the DNC/GOP thing but history shows these to be nothing more than superficial labels.

The only kind of man who could possibly make a difference is someone who would come from the Libertarians, the Independents, or the pages of a novel. That man (he would necessarily have to be a man) would fight the bankers, shrink the government, cut the debt, and stop the wars. That would fly in the face of everything the Satanic interests hold dear – it will not be allowed. Such men are not popular with the afficinados of fantasy football and cheap beer. See Ron Paul’s experience for proof.

In a way these predictions are not so off base. Spring always follows winter so I will be proven accurate in the end. Some fool of a criminal always creeps into the Whitehouse so the pundits’ political predictions are kind of accurate too.

Let me make a political prediction. The next con artist President will expand the war, double the government, and bomb the debt. Something like that. What do I know?
