Moorpark Theater is Secured
It is exceedingly good news that the City of Moorpark has decided to provide the City with a continuing venue for theater productions. Read
here about:
“The city's Redevelopment Agency has agreed to purchase the historic Theater on High Street for $1.25 million, ending months of negotiations and speculation about the future of the landmark.”“The theater, at 45 High Street in the heart of Moorpark, was built in 1927 and has suffered from abandonment, seismic damage and deterioration.”“The theater has staged films, plays and concerts. The public ownership means the landmark will be saved for community use.”
52nd Korean War Armistice
On Sat., 7/23/05, there was a small respectful crowd that attended the ceremony conducted by Korean War Veterans from the Santa Paula VFW Chapter. It was a touching remembrance for the Veterans who died in the service of others and for those who have died subsequent to the war.
Only One More Weekend to Go
The production last Saturday night was powerful. Especially strong in both vocals and acting were Damian Gravino, Marlon Robinson, Ralph Mauerillo, and Alysse Alcroft.

Hells’ Angels Trial About to Begin
“In Laughlin, Nevada, at the Laughlin River Run in April 2002, about 85 Hells’ Angels attacked approximately 40 Mongols in the Harrah’s Casino. After the shooting and stabbing ended, two Hells’ Angels and one Mongols were dead and many wounded on both sides. Later that night a third Hells’ Angel was shot off his motorcycle in the desert not far from Laughlin. You will notice that the Mongols were attacked and outnumbered 2 to 1 and yet 3 Hells’ Angels died and only 1 Mongols died. That might well be an indication about the ferocity of the Mongols, who are thought to be the most dangerous of outlaw motorcycle gangs.” That’s what I wrote in my blog
Under and Alone. Now the trials are finally beginning. Go
here and
here for articles about the delay in the start of the trial.
Did you know that members of the local Hells’ Angels living in Ventura County participated in the Laughlin battle. How safe does that make you feel? Oh, I forgot. They are just a group of fun loving guys who like to ride motorcycles.
Are you, or is someone you know, one of those persons who likes to rub elbows with outlaw motorcycle gang members? Do you wear their support merchandise or do you attend their public events? You do? So much for your common sense!

Chinese Unrestricted Warfare
Newsmax.com is promoting a book,
Unrestricted Warfare, about the People’s Republic of China and its support for asymmetric warfare against the U.S. The book is said to be a translation of a Chinese military manual. Or you can find it online
here &
here.
“The doctrine of total war outlined in Unrestricted Warfare clearly demonstrates that the People’s Republic of China is preparing to confront the United States and our allies by conducting “asymmetrical” or multidimensional attacks on almost every aspect of our social, economic and political life.”
Newspapers Deceiving Us Over Homegrown Terrorism
Today’s edition of the
Los Angeles Times had an important article about the arrest of black robbers who are additionally suspected of being involved in plotting Islamic terrorism. See my blog
Black Islamic Terrorism and Crime Linked in LA.
If the public is going to be adequately informed, we must require that our mainstream media present all of the facts and not give us politically correct drivel. Half of a story is not acceptable. At least the LA Times wrote an article in which the reader might infer that black homegrown Islamic terrorism is a significant potential. That’s more than you can say for the
Los Angeles Daily News or the
Ventura County Star.
Newbury Park Muslims Denounce Terror
Finally,
local Muslims are beginning to denounce the actions of the radical Islamo-fascist worshipers. It is a good first step. Why has it taken so long? The scariest part of what is happening today has been the lack of outrage on the part of mainstream Muslims.
The U.S. is the most tolerant country in the world. The law is the law, but it is rooted in a tradition of religious acceptance. If Muslims expect that tradition to survive, they must convincingly explain to the public why they have been so long in absence from any meaningful protest against their fellow Islamists.
CA Legislators Seek to Undo U.S. Supreme Court Theft
From the
Ventura County Star, “A group of California lawmakers is trying to block the effects of last month's U.S. Supreme Court ruling that expanded the government's power to seize private property, a decision that was swiftly criticized by groups across the political spectrum.”
California politicians have introduced a State constitutional amendment that would prohibit governmental bodies from exercising their newly acquired rights to steal your property for other than public use. Thank goodness someone is trying to rescue us from the case of Kelo v. New London. Now it’s up to the blue hued state to repudiate the word of the mighty 5 and come to their own defense.

CA Breast Cancer Walk Season Begins
The California ’05 Breast Cancer Walk season opens with the Avon walk in San Francisco on July 9th, followed by the LA Avon walk on Septemper 19th and closes with the Susan G. Komen walk in San Diego on October 14th.
The Avon walk, which began in 1998, was originally a moving three day, 60 mile trek wherein the entire operation moved and set-up two camps along the route. Now Avon is a two day event with just one camp. In 2003, the Komen 3 Day walk began, and it is a replication of the original Avon three day event. Each walker must raise $2,100 or $1,800 respectively to participate.
A group of walkers have organized three mile walks on Saturday morning in Thousand Oaks to raise money for their team to enter the LA Avon walk. This is a good way to help a great cause, get some exercise and enjoy the camaraderie of new friends. Read it here in the
Ventura Star.

Avon web site and the
Komen web site.
