YOU THOUGHT BRITISH INTELLIGENCE WAS ABOUT JAMES BOND FORNICATING WITH WOMEN BUT ITS REALLY ABOUT THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT FORNICATING WITH THE TRUTH

Back in World War I to help draw the US into the quagmire that led to Communism and Nazism the American people were propagandized (Bernaysed) with the idea that German soldiers in neutral Belgium tossed babies onto their bayonets.

A guy who made millions working for a British engineering company and who would be a future US President Herbert Hoover started "war relief" for Belgium back then.     Herbert Hoover a British agent planted in our government?

In more recent times British intelligence linked to activities in Syria like the "civil defense" humanitarian "White Helmets" who produced videos of "chemical weapons attacks" on civilians.

Now a revelation about the British covert operations to hurt Russia that included infiltration of Russian journalism.   This effort enlisted both BBC News and Reuters to help alongside intelligence contractors and the Bellingcat website.

    MAX BLUMENTHAL-THE GRAYZONE

The British government had a lot more money and independence in World War I and even World War II but in the years since its power has waned and it's position in the world is more subordinate to the USA.

Is the US government helping to fund British government-intelligence fronts like "Bellingcat"?

Canada once subordinate to London became subordinate to Washington as the 20th Century unfolded.

RACISM ISN'T ON GOD'S 'TOP TEN' LIST BUT IT'S IN GOD'S 'TOP TEN' LIST

IS ALL THE MORALIZING IN OUR WORLD ABOUT RACE A DISTRACTION FROM THE REAL PROBLEM?

MEMBERS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OF ALL RACES ARE QUICK TO KILL PEOPLE OF ALL RACES TOO QUICKLY AND OFTEN UNJUSTLY

Why worry about the race of the person who killed Ashli Babbitt as the US Capitol on January 6th.   Its a distraction a barking up the wrong tree?

Is all the "race" discussion surrounding her killing baiting people into the trap of the narrative that Nazi's and Racists were at the US Capitol on January 6th?     Are the FBI and or Leftist groups behind the "race" talk in connection with Ashli Babbitt's death?

WOULD CAPTAIN SIR TOM MOORE HAVE ENDORSED THE JIHADIST ACTIVITIES OF THE 'WHITE HELMETS' IN SYRIA?

Today the regime in the UK using the late Captain Sir Tom Moore as its prop with his funeral ceremony.

The coronavirus tyranny the latest turning of the screws on freedom in a once free country.

They came for Tommy Robinson a few year ago and I noticed that others didn't care like Nigel Farage or Peter Hitchens.

Getting back to the overseas activities linked to British Intelligence there's the matter of the White Helmets in Syria.

The BBC tried to dress up this group funded by British, Qatari and yes US government dollars.

"Members of the organization have been filmed and photographed carrying guns ad waving Salafi-jihadist flags, and have even participated in numerous public executions of citizens in militant-held territory"

                 BILL COSBY'S APPEAL TO BE DECIDED BY THE PA SUPREME COURT

Pennsylvania's Supreme Court has heard the appeal of Bill Cosby over his conviction on three counts of aggravated indecent assault.    He was sentenced to three to 10 years in prison.

It will be ruling on the case as Cosby approaches three years of imprisonment.    The former Montgomery County, Pennsylvania DA Bruce Castor who defended President Trump at the impeachment trial recently declined to prosecute Cosby more than a decade ago.

Castor says that Cosby should never have been charged in the case.

Here is some media sympathetic to Cosby.   The story talks about Cosby in prison and his connection with his fellow inmates.

BLAST FROM THE PAST:  JACK PAAR NBC-OCTOBER 4TH, 1963 INCLUDING GUEST BILL COSBY

Jack Paar was the second "Tonight Show" host behind Steve Allen and ahead of Johnny Carson.   He did prime time television on NBC with a monologue and guests for some years after he left the "Tonight Show" in 1962.

On this show Paar will bring in Bill Cosby for his second appearance on his NBC show.    You see Bill Cosby at the beginning of a long association with NBC  (Cosby segment 31:15 into video)...

                     Time is moving us towards the end I will say Good Night and God Bless.

We'll leave with the music of Sir Tom Jones.    The story behind that I remember listening to talk radio back in the late 1980's as it began to emerge.    The political direction not clear but Rush Limbaugh stirring the pot of change.

One host as I recall was Tom Leykis who presented shocking stuff at least as he saw it.   A clergyman in California was saying the music of Tom Jones brought him closer to the Lord, the Almighty, the Higher Power.

It seemed a bit silly to me at the time I hadn't considered the music of Tom Jones other than noting its passion or even sexiness as exemplified by Tom's 1960's performances.

But I still had more time to listen to music I missed like the music of Tom Jones as I lived through the 1990's and on.

And there is another dimension to his music that has become even clearer to me in recent years as I've sobered up from the confusion of my earlier years.

The insanity of intoxication and the danger of violence coming out of it exemplified in the lyrics of "Delilah".

             "I was lost like a slave that no man could free"

                        From the Good Book itself Tom sang "Without Love there is nothing".....

And then a song from country songwriter Curly Putnam that was done by Porter Wagoner but would be very much popularized by Tom Jones "Green Green Grass of Home".

Tom Jones was on television way back some 50 years ago singing his songs and the songs of others and watching that show was my mother.

Mom passed away this week and her passion was very visible when it came to music and dancing even in her later years.  

She liked watching Tom Jones and his music which I have learned to like and to watch as my life moved forward.

NEXTRUSH UNPLUGGED WEEKEND: THE MEMORIES OF "EXCELLENCE IN BROADCASTING" AND MORE

 

"In 1989 I took Rush Limbaugh's radio show off the air in St. Louis..."

Jeff Long had his first "encounter" with Rush way back in the early days of his syndicated radio show.

But there was more to come.

Jeff would end up working in Rush's home town of Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

He would meet Rush in person but there's more.

And at the link here's what Paul Harvey used to call on the radio "the rest of the story"...

JEFF LONG-MY UNUSUAL CONNECTION TO RUSH LIMBAUGH-SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN

So many memories of Rush that for me include memories of the music that Rush loved.    He would play songs before his radio show as sort of a pre-show warmup which was broadcast online around the turn of the millennium back in 2001 and 2002 as I recall...

                                                "RINKY DINK"-DAVE 'BABY' CORTEZ

                              "COME ON DOWN TO MY BOAT"-EVERY MOTHER'S SON

                                   "COME ON EILEEN"-DEXYS MIDNIGHT RUNNERS

                                        "EVERYTHING CHANGES"-KATHY TROCCOLI

Those are all songs that "El Rushbo" loved and I remember them.    Rush did syndicated television for a while in the early 1990's.     Roger Ailes was Executive Producer in Roger's pre-Fox News days.   The guy whose company syndicated the show was a man who was the king of daytime TV talk coming into the 1980's and by the 1990's had his own company and lots of money.

Phil Donahue brought Rush onto his show for this interview....The show starts a few minutes into the video..

I worked some master control back then at a TV station and I saw the feed of Rush's TV show around 915 pm.   Unfortunately the TV stations airing his show ran it late at night 1230 am or later generally.  The show faded out after a few years.

I remember getting the desire to work in media to do radio be a disc jockey when I was 11 years old and I guess Rush caught the bug when he was as young as I was.     At age 16 he got what you needed in the 1960's to operate a radio station, a First Class license from the FCC.    Rush want to Dallas to study at a radio school.     He got a job at a local radio station in Cape Girardeau that his father had part-ownership in.

But Rush would eventually be out on his own before he was even 20 years old.    By 1971 he was in a major radio market  (Pittsburgh) doing the morning show at WIXZ 1360 AM in McKeesport, Pennsylvania.      I was starting to listen to distant radio stations on multi-band radio and that station was one I remember catching but I don't remember hearing "Jeff Christie" as Rush called himself....

WIXZ PITTSBURGH-1971 RUSH LIMBAUGH AS "JEF.F CHRISTIE" (ELLIS FEASTER AIRCHECK)

The talent was showing in his early radio days 50 years ago.    Rush moved to another Pittsburgh station KQV 1410 AM a station owned by ABC.     He commanded a salary of 450 dollars a week.   Good money in the early 1970's.    Rush got fired when the ownership changed.    Heck Rush told us all on the EIB network he got fired seven times in his life.

OMG I only got fired four times, once in the media...People challenging me as to whether "Nextrush" is up to snuff to fill the "big shoes" I guess I fall short in that category.

Welcome to the weekend friends here I am your currently sober drunk host out meeting with my brothers and sisters in recovery this morning doing a little snow and ice removal and carrying on.

Our "Yellow Vests" post will begin to take shape I hope as we move into Saturday afternoon.

ITS DAY 342 OF THE DICTATORSHIP OF COVID-19, DAY 342 OF AMERICA AND THE WORLD HELD HOSTAGE

MORE RUSH MUSIC MEMORIES-"UPDATE"  THEME SONGS

Lets get back to music and the music Rush used in the context of parody.   I disliked this next song for years.   It was all because a TV station in Philly I watched via antenna on top of my house out here in Central PA way back in 1967 used it.

They used it when they created  "modern childrens programming" to replace the cartoons with legendary host Sally Starr.

Well 25 years later I could actually enjoy this song as Rush used it for his "Condom Update" theme..,,

                                           "UP UP AND AWAY"-THE FIFTH DIMENSION

                                               "YOU'RE NO GOOD"-LINDA RONSTADT

                                                  "BORN A WOMAN"-SANDY POSEY

The memories come back of those early days of El Rushbo the "Updates" punctuated by the theme music.     The Sandy Posey song Rush's way of providing his listeners with a "Feminist" update and from the Sacramento days El Rushbo's "Jerry Brown" theme music.   Ex-Jerry Brown girlfriend Linda Ronstadt singing "You're No Good".

BLAST FROM THE PAST  "A 'REAL' PERSON ON THE RADIO" ROBERT W. MORGAN AND DON IMUS ON:   THE RADIO PERSONALITY

"I was raised around 'big time radio personalities', guys that were really good in that they each did something that was a part of themselves on the radio, as opposed to just reading one liners"

Radio Personality Don Imus-March 1976 "Broadcast Programming-Production"

                          

"In order to be funny, you've got to know what is funny to your audience"

Radio Personality Robert W. Morgan-March 1976 "Broadcast Programming-Production"

Two top guys in the radio biz in the 1970's talked at length about what it takes to be a great radio personality.  Rush Limbaugh "cared about his audience" as  President Donald J. Trump noted the other day.

You have to know your audience to speak to them.       The article starts at Page 7 in the PDF file linked below...

THE RADIO PERSONALITY-DON IMUS ROBERT W. MORGAN MARCH 1976

Its Saturday night now and lets bring on more of the great music used on "The Rush Limbaugh Show" in those early days for bumper music coming out of commercial breaks and the "theme" songs.

This song from legendary performer Clarence "Frogman" Henry the "Homeless Update" theme...

                        "AIN'T GOT NOT HOME"-CLARENCE "FROGMAN" HENRY

                                              "GOING UP THE COUNTRY"-CANNED HEAT

                                               "MY BOY LOLLIPOP"-MILLIE SMALL

Oh My My "My Boy Lollipop" the "Barney Frank Update" theme music as sung by Millie Small.   In between a musical favorite of Rush's "Going Up The Country" by Canned Heat.

Getting to the end tonight I'll let you know I did a Yellow Vests post events in France today....

FRANCE YELLOW VESTS WEEK 119: THE COVID TYRANNY CONTINUES, PROTESTS CONTINUE

Two more things before the closing music:

"the views expressed by the host on this show ought to be federal law"

Rush Limbaugh expounding on a local show in New York he did from 10 am to 12 Noon back in June of 1990 leading into his national show with a local female newscaster and lots of drama and conflict and show for the listeners.     This show videotaped for C-SPAN back then.     A full two-hours of "Classic Rush"...

Its Good Night and God Bless to all of you and I posted something on Free Republic the other day I'll leave with that in one of the threads "What Would Rush Say?":

"There is a Power greater than ourselves that restores me to sanity and I believe that people are able to do good things with the help of that Power.

And those things aren't necessarily political.    My right actions outside of the political arena can make hell of a difference every moment of every day."

We'll close with music of my choosing.....

                                      "MOTHER AND CHILD REUNION"-PAUL SIMON

                                                            "LET IT BE"-THE BEATLES

                                                "KEEP ON TRUCKIN"-DAVE DUDLEY
