GUESS WHO ? ? ?




I can't lay claim to this piece of ingenuity: a friend & Charter Member of Team STORMBRINGER; Code Name CLADIDDLEHOPPER sent this in response to my piece on Racial Profiling:


I sent this in recognition of your post dealing with racial profiling. Of course, the Bernardine Dohrn questioning addresses a different aspect of profiling such as its fallacy but, oh well . . .

I think that like so many other things in life, profiling is a great thing in moderation. In Israel for instance, its highly depended upon for "initial assesments".


To those of you who like to throw the tired, old "racist" stereotype out there - be advised: CLADIDDLEHOPPER is an old comrade-in-arms going back to the early 90's, at one point he was the Equal Opportunity NCO for the US Army Special Operations Command, and without getting too personal I can tell you there is no way on God's Green Earth is he a racist - and neither is this post. In fact I bet right now there's a whole pack of soul brothers out there laughing their asses off because it's just . . . plain . . . FUNNY ! ! !

CHASMATIC

Chasmatic is a follower of STORMBRINGER, a friend and also a brother; we have been having an ongoing email exchange, and often we discuss our shared interest in the World's Oldest Fraternity. Freemasonry's influence on the birth and development of our nation is significant; Founding Fathers, generals, politicians, industrial leaders, so forth. Today Chas sends us something about Brother Henry Ford, and a clip of Chas' favorite musician/songwriter John Hiatt.

Chas writes:

I have always been a Chevy guy, as my Daddy before me, but I don't like the way GM rolled over and sold out. I am getting more respect for Ford Motors. Brother Henry Ford revolutionized our industrial base and started the assembly line process for automobiles.



A vid about Ford's first 100 years


What we have today is because of him and several others with brains and vision. I think the next car I buy will be one of these:




Meanwhile here is a modest tribute to him and Fords:




I'm out of format here with the vid clip - everybody knows I lean toward R&B and the Blues, but Chas put a good post together so what the hey . . . all I want to know is this Country or Western, and how can you tell the difference? - S.L.
