Haven’t yet decided what I am gwine fishin’ for, or maybe I’ll just be more concerned about who I am gwine fishin’ with…
I need a break from all of it.
See y’all around Wednesday…

The Darkness at the Crucifixion (Gustave Doré)
From the Publisher’s personal collection of the Works of Gustave Doré.
I have been in a state of proverbial ‘funk’ for nearly a year now. You’ll remember last July when I had made the decision to shut down Federal Observer after seventeen years of publication – only to slowly change gears for God knows what reason. Over these past nine-plus months, the site – although looking much the same – has taken new directions – or in some cases readdressing old topics – which still drive me to this day. I’ll not draw you a map today – you may review the site on your own time and come to your own conclusion… and that is where I stand at this point – conclusions – or more specifically – the Conclusion of this once great nation. MAGA? Forget it – it will never happen. We near the end of the journey. Continue reading
An interesting hour on Facebook tonight. As always there are posts to smile about, cry about, get angry about, but of course – what bothers me is having put efforts into posting information that is submitted to educate and help people. No foul language – no smart-aleck comments – just superb, well researched information – in this case – related to issues which DO affect YOUR health and well-being, but then the new “rules” at Facebook – are against this kind of information.

Once in awhile when I complete a column (of course I hadn’t posted one of my own since early in the year) I’ll send it out to a select few people – you know they type – the ones who CARE about America – the ones who COUNT – the ones who GIVE A SHIT!?!?!?
So the day goes on and I hear from Granny (#1), Biesada (the ONLY one), Ewart (who gets fed up from time to time as well) and finally – Ross. You remember Ross don’t you? He’s the intellectual, who idolizes and reads the likes of Tommy Jefferson (who helped move an entire nation on up), little Jimmy Madison, Slammin’ Sammy Adams, and the other guy who had been to Franklin. Then there was the joint smokin’ dude from the Mount Vernon Country Club and his buddy who got killed – you know – the cat on the $10 bill – Hamilton Beach. He has read and studied the words of P. Henry (no relation to ‘O’) – and a whole bunch of those founding Muthas!
Nice history lesson Huh?? Gotcha hooked now, don’t I? Continue reading
October 19, 2002 ~ The opinions and commentary are still coming in from every corner of our debauched society, and while The Federal Observer continues it’s coverage of the debate from both sides of the aisle – we find that other stories of importance are being ignored – and depending on the length of this column – we may be choose to ignore them as well.
But first – to the topic of gun-control: A column (once published on the now-defunct) Armed Females of America web-site was indicative of just how hot the subjects of gun-ownership, safety of our families and the “…right to keep and bear arms…” has become once again. Continue reading
We’ll not bore you with all of the details but…
Over the course of the next few weeks (or longer) we are going to put though all efforts to tighten it all up. As previously referenced, the Metropolis Café is going to be merged into this site. It is a painstaking project, but certain parts of it MUST be done manually, which the balance (the largest portion) will eventually be merged through technological methods.
While this is going on, some embedded links will not be active, so please bear with us.
It is our intent to keep Federal Observer functioning during this entire process.
In January of 2017 we launched a new web-blog, known as Metropolis Café. Those who have visited often have come back many times over these past two years to glean all that they could – for the benefit of REAL history as well as many postings offering help and guidance as relates to the Public Fool System (PFS) in America today.
One need only to spend time there to understand why we face the problems in this nation today with evacuees from Daddy and Mommy’s basement – only as it benefits the evacuees.
The Metropolis Café project has had much meaning to me for reasons that you may still visit and read for yourself – for NOW! We strongly urge you to visit and spend time there while you still can. In this past two-years plus – we have published nearly 1,000 columns, opinions and historically correct speeches, letters and more beginning long before the ‘discovery’ of what we now call America. Continue reading
Ten years has passed since this column was penned. SOME of the names have changed – the financial numbers have only increased multi-fold, and the filth and scum who have permeated the HOLLOW halls of Government have become even more anti-America than ever before. PLEASE – reach back into history and call up the ghosts of Al Capone and his boys to do what we as a people do not have the guts to do. MASSACRE! Happy St. Valentines day Al – you are sorely missed – you KNEW how to get the job done – without remorse. ~ Ed.
February 14, 2009 – The following was sent to each and every Senator in the United States Senate on this day.
To all the guilty parties concerned, Happy Valentines Day – we’ve been massacred. CON-gress took a good lesson from Al Capone, and he has been in the grave for decades, so you can’t blame this one on him!
Although not surprised at the outcome of the events, which have taken place in both houses of CON-gress over the past several weeks, frankly – I am shocked, at the cavalier manner, in which this package has been crammed down the throats of generations of Americans to come.

Grammy Award Winning Cover art: Evelyn Kelbish
Over the past few years I have been reaching further back into my personal history specifically with memories of my youth and my time spent in Country while flying over the rice-paddies and picking up wounded soldiers, civilians and enemy combatants.
Recently I realized that a song which I had considered to be my theme song from those 21 months ~ Inna-Gadda-Da-Vida was released within days of my arrival for the Adventure of a lifetime. You’ll note that it is also a permanent audio fixture of this site in the right-hand column. Some additional thoughts on the song I have also penned as part of the description of our category, ‘Nam – Some Came Home: Continue reading
Inspired by letters he reads when he buys a 150-year old farmhouse, Writer/Director Rory Feek pens a story about the wife of a civil war soldier who enlists in the army and fights her way across the country to find her missing husband.
Thanks to Granny – I have been following the story of Joey and Rory for some years now, but what you are about to watch is the trailer for a brand new movie – and it is a true and total surprise. More than this – it is a TRUE story.
Of course Hollywood won’t back it or put it in the theaters – ’cause it ain’t got any of those “funny-folk” in it. But you can pre-order a copy for yourself. ~ Ed.

Brotha Smoove called me that night and said that it was vitally important that I see the film. He saw Walt Kowalski in me and felt that, not only was the finest film Eastwood had made in years – maybe one of his best – but that I needed to see myself on film. After I saw the movie the next evening, I texted him back and said that, “Maybe we all needed to see it.” My meaning extended beyond the three of us, who by that time, had known each other for forty years – we have now surpassed a half century together, Raymond, Leonard and myself. My comment was directed of course – to all who had served, and those who supported us – or maybe didn’t.
America has changed in my lifetime – and not necessarily for the better. Walt lives within us all who have spent as long on this earth as many of us have. We were Walt. I am Walt.
I’ll see you at Sundown,

No, no, no… we are not talking about political cancer here – although politics do have a nasty way of contributing to this epidemic by way of ignoring the economic drain upon the afflicted, including the cost of care (they really don’t), ‘treatment’ and drugs. In addition – THEY have chosen – by corporate bribe – to ignore the Truth as relates to the dreaded dis-ease known throughout the world as… CANCER.
I have been involved with a program for nearly twenty years – due to unusual circumstances – which brought me together with one of the great modern pioneers in the education of cancer, Dr. William Donald Kelley. When I first met Kelley, it was via a request to be a guest on my then daily broadcast, Perspectives on America. I’ll not tell you the entire story at this point as it is not germane to what we are posting this day, however the one key element that Kelley taught me, was that…
“No one can cure you of any disease. If you have a broken bone, your doctor can set the bone in a cast – with or without pins if necessary – but if your body is not healthy, the bone will never properly set nor become totally healthy. Choose your ailment, heart-disease, cancer, arthritis, or many other maladies – it matters not – for it is YOUR responsibility to properly treat your own disease, through nutrition, exercise and proper supplementation in many instances.”
It is for this specific reason that at the turn of the Millennium, I developed a web-site for Dr. Kelley in order to expand his reach to the world. In the early years, we devoted our postings and commentary strictly toward the dis-ease of cancer, however the more I worked with Dr. Kelley – the more I realized how intertwined diseases are, and so began the major expansion of the Kelley web-site… HOWEVER – after having said all of the above – today we shall return to our roots – CANCER.
Dr. Kelley once said to me that, “No matter what a cancer victim chooses to do – whether they choose to follow my program in order to become and remain cancer-free – or follow the teachings of Gerson, Burzynski, Clark or, the Wizard of Oz – do NOT co-mingle the various programs as there are idiosyncrasies which in fact could cause damage and exacerbate your path toward optimum health. In other words, DO NOT PLAY DOCTOR! Choose the program that you feel will be right for you (the victim) and stick to it.”
We refer to Dr. Kelley’s program as, Victory Over Cancer… and this what I am most familiar with – BUT – there are some interesting and albeit other programs which are worthy of investigation. What I am about to introduce you to, may in fact be one such program – but I also say this for two reasons; 1) Of the many programs I have studied these past two decades – what I am about to present to you is very close to the Kelley program as relates to nutritional needs, but most importantly 2) YOUR health is YOUR responsibility… and the author makes all of this quite clear.
Let us get started on your pathway to health, predominantly as relates to cancer – IF you are a victim of same. What I offer readers of the Federal Observer today are links to the first four chapters of this alternative program, but also some up to date commentary regarding chemotherapy, vaccinations, BIG Pharma… and more.
For those of you who are unaware of our work in the field nor our related website – the following will be your introduction. Just remember…
Your health is YOUR responsibility.
FDA insists cell phones ARE safe
A new report from the NIH warns of ‘clear evidence’ of a link between high levels of cell phone radiation and brain, heart and adrenal cancers in male rats, but the Food and Drug Administration insists the findings don’t apply to humans… (Continue to full article)
How Sugar Allows Cancer Cells to Grow Inside Your Body
It’s not breaking news that too much sugar in your diet can lead to serious health concerns such as diabetes and obesity. In fact, there have been lots of questions regarding sugar’s relationship to cancer. We know that sugar consumption can impact our insulin levels which, in turn, can lead to chronic disease but… does too much sugar directly cause cancer?… (Continue to full article)
More Doctors Confessing To Intentionally Diagnosing Healthy People With Cancer to Make Money
Health care should be a good thing. It should be caring about people and their health. It should including both preventions of health issues and treatment. Doctors should have the best interest of their patients in their mind. Should…
Unfortunately, often this is not the reality in today’s world. Health care is a disease-oriented profession that looks at treating symptoms with medication rather than looking at the person as a whole and using both prevention and treatment… (Continue to full article)
Landmark Study Shows Half of Cancer Patients Are Killed by Chemo — NOT Cancer
No matter how much doctors push the treatment, chemotherapy might not be the best option in the fight against cancer, as a new study shows up to 50 percent of patients are killed by the drugs — not the disease, itself.
Researchers … performed a groundbreaking study examining for the first time the numbers of cancer patients who died within 30 days of beginning chemotherapy — indicating the treatment, not the cancer, was the cause of death… (Continue to full article)
Man discovers he does NOT have cancer after misdiagnosis led to five years of chemotherapy and biopsies
A Colorado man says he was on chemotherapy and painkillers for five years to treat a rare cancer – only to learn he never had the disease at all. After performing an open lung biopsy, James Salaz was told he had a rare form of cancer in which an excess of white blood cells caused tumors to form throughout the body.
Despite immediately undergoing treatment, the abnormalities weren’t going anyway – that is until he visited another doctor who told him he didn’t have cancer, but rather a condition that causes inflamed blood vessels… (Continue to full article)
A Shot in the Dark
Oh yes – it is THAT time of year once more – and it will last for another 365 or 366 days… because BIG Pharma and your local Drug Store just will NOT leave you alone until you get your FREE vaccination. Yeah, well – it has been since 1969 since I had my last ‘shot’ and I’ll go out smiling just the same… (Continue to full article)
It’s YOUR Health and YOUR Choice!
It is no secret my opinion of Big PHARMA. I have avoided every prescription I could for many years now as if they are so great then why the softly spoken warnings of all the side effects??? It is like when I was fighting against the introduction of Fluoride into the public water when I lived in TN. After submitting many pages of research against fluoride I finally bought a tube of Crest Toothpaste and took it to the last council meeting I went to. I pointed out the black box warning on the carton about the DANGERS of fluoride and to call Poison Control if need bes… (Continue to full article)
CANCER: Chapter I
To all the people whose lives have been sacrificed to the evil overlords of the chemotherapy industry, to the souls of all you who were murdered coldly by an industry that, I acknowledge, is driven only by the money system that was created by the exact forefathers of those very individuals who are now at the helm of the media, the schools, and their direct ancestors even wrote religions to fool your direct ancestors! I sadly acknowledge that the other team tells lies in the textbooks those scoundrels write… (Continue to full article)
CANCER: Chapter II ~ “Which one of you has cancer?“
After my dad’s second chemo treatment, while he was in the hospital – first in palliative care, then in intensive care – where he had several close calls with death’s door – I hadn’t even visited him in his first few days of being in the hospital. I was scared. I didn’t want to believe that he was as much of a flight-risk as he was, as much at risk of joining the angels as he was; I didn’t want to believe it. As long as I didn’t see him, I didn’t have to acknowledge that his health was in as bad of condition as it was… (Continue to full article)
CANCER: Chapter III ~ Medical Doctor’s Don’t Know
Up till now you’ve looked up to, and trusted, authority figures, such as uniformed men and women, about and with everything; you’ve believed they care about you and you’ve trusted that they have your best interests at heart. The uniformed men and women were your protectors, your teachers, your priests, your doctors; they were your external authority so you didn’t have to take full responsibility for your own well-being.
Well now it’s time to wake up and grow up; it’s time to learn the truth about the decision makers in the medical industry… (Continue to full article)
CANCER: Chapter IV ~ WHAT IS CANCER?
Insufficient digestive enzyme in humans is a requirement for supplementation with Papaya Enzyme. If insufficient digestive enzyme in humans goes untreated, a single-celled bacteria called candida is allowed to enter the intestines.
Candida burrows pockets into the walls of the intestines. Undigested and not fully digested food gets trapped in those pockets, and goes rancid, then candida eats it. A digestive enzyme in candida, called CYP1B1, metabolizes that food, and the candida grows into a multi-cellular fungal mucous which is a transmutation of the candida… (Continue to full article)

Why not. I am sick of cooking this meal that few appreciate any longer anyway. HEY – just go stuff that turkey… Up YOURS. Gimme a steak, a ham – a freaking Hackney’s burger on Black Rye with a full order of Onion Rings. The hell with it – two orders of rings. Oh yeah – THAT would be the life. Fourteen hours for what? So people can snarkily eye each other at the dinner table and finish eating in 20 to 25 minutes and don’t even give thanks for the meal? Then just who in the hell do you think washes the dishes? Yup – KFC – home of the headless, featherless, fattened up GMO-fed Bucket-O-Chicken-shit.
October 27, 2018 ~ So I was awakened this morning with a phone call from some pushy woman doing a survey as to whether I had received my voting packages in the mail, to which I responded that I had. She then raised her voice in a snotty manner and demanded to know, “When are you going to send them in?” I told her, “When the people of Arizona start putting up quality people for office” and then told her to leave me alone. HEY – she woke me up out of a sound sleep – whaddya want? Continue reading
Few remember the 1968 Broadway play, ‘HAIR’. A live performance originally performed at the Biltmore Theatre, 261-5 West 47th St. in New York City. I did not see it in New York, but while on R&R in Tokyo in ’69 (from ‘nam) I stayed at a hotel that was also hosting the Chicago cast for performances in that city. Only one performance was held, due to the nudity on stage. The cast and play were subsequently banned from further performances due to pornography laws. I was privileged to spend several evenings in the bar and restaurant with that cast and made some interesting friends, many of who I would meet up with again when I was released from the Army after my 21 months “in country.” Continue reading
Robert E. Lee On His Horse Traveller
I made a decision earlier in the week to take my fourteen year old granddaughter, Bully – north to Prescott for a day (an overnight stay) with her seven year old cousin, Sneaky Bob. A deal was made with her, because in many respects, she is just like the worthless individual that she calls ‘Daddy,’ who was and is a veritable SLOB! She is not a slob – but she is messy as all hell get out and trying to get her to keep her room clean is the impossible dream. She did the job – not perfect – but to the point where I knew that she needed this trip… Continue reading
It is time to recycle this column…. On May 5th, 2010, I received an email from a reader, inquiring about “proof,” that voting by those who were not eligible to vote, was in fact taking place in the united States. His question arose, because of a discussion he had had, with a hard-left Democrat, as related to the topic of votes cast by illegal aliens.
We submit to you, the author’s letter, and my response to him. JB Continue reading
“A little group of willful men, representing no opinion but their own, have rendered the great government of the United States helpless and contemptible.” ~ Woodrow Wilson
April 19, 2009 – Unlike the Erich Segal novel of the late 1960’s, this is not a “Love Story”, but one of a love gone bad – or at least out of lust.
Having recently returned from a trip to North Carolina, I begin to have a different perspective on the issues of the day, but first, I must return to history to establish my current mental status.
I have spent most of my life (since the 5th grade) reading and studying history – chiefly that of America. ‘America’! What a beautiful land, comprised of mostly beautiful people of vast lands and cultures. A place where people dreamed of, but of a single word, ‘Freedom.’ The Grand Experiment, where all could come to live their dreams of opportunity and the rights to free speech, freedom of religion and so much more.

Several days ago – with the aid of this image from my very talented friend Louis Turner, I posted the following comment on Facebook: My friends – we each have our distinctive beliefs, but there are times that we must band together for the greater good. An invasion from our Southern border is going to affect each of us… and there are other issues that we may have to put aside for awhile. There is already enough hate and anger in this nation as it is, and as Sydney Greenstreet’s character, Mr. Peters in the 1940’s Warner Bros film, ‘The Mask of Dimitrios‘ stated, “There’s not enough kindness in the world.”
Following the image is the response from a friend and reader.
Gird up your loins and prepare for battle my friends…
The good got lazy and the wicked were emboldened. The good fell asleep and thought that they had it made when they were only partially good. The wicked got wickeder, a lot of lies were told and tricks played on the naive and trusting and this has brought us to today. Because people forgot to stand up to evil and to pray. ~ Susan Pendell, October 25, 2018
This has been an unusual 24 hours in my life… I could not sleep well last night, but…
On and off throughout the day while working on-line I find that I must return to music to calm my anxiety – and believe me – with all of the hate and the anger that we are all witnessing in this nation today – my anxiety grows. But this time it was not music which affected me… Last night I visited several web-pages dealing with Trump’s day on Earth yesterday. One event was the official White House welcoming of Judge Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court. The second event was the President speaking before a major police organization.
The majority of the comments posted (in a Facebook format) while the events continued, were of a uplifting, positive and congratulatory type, but they were also spattered with notes and messages of HATE, and I thought to myself, ‘doesn’t it ever stop?‘ When does the hate go away? Continue reading
And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I’ll say it clear
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain… ~ Paul Anka
The above is the first verse of the song made famous by Frank Sinatra, and I believe that it states clearly the path that we, as a nation have embarked upon… and its outcome will not be good. What is happening this day – at this time in our history – at this hour – is the most sickening thing I have witnessed in my seventy-odd years on this earth. The war is ahead of us – and the ending will be much like that of the final Fall of Rome. Be blessed my friends, for we are on the final journey.
We had been married for about two years, and I was a sales representative at a Volkswagen dealership in Evanston, Illinois. The owners name was Herman Eberhardt. Older buildings, and the dealership was split, with the body and paint shop on the (appropriately) South side of the lot – and that is where the treasure was to be found…
I have told my story many times in the past, but will share the basis of it once more, so that you will understand the (personal) significance of my discovery. Continue reading
