“Graffiti for Intellectuals” was first published 14 years ago – in December 1992. It is a bi-weekly newsletter of information and commentary on politics, social issues and whatever else we think is interesting and challenging. It is mailed to over 1000 recipients who include all California Senators and Representatives, as well as other politicians, columnists, new media, and just activists and interested people in the U.S. and all other continents except Antarctica. It is also e-mailed to about 100 readers who preferred email to snail mail.
The issues for the last 12 months are listed below. If you want an issue that isn’t listed let us know and we’ll get it to you. Contact us by going to the “Contact us” button (what else?), or click here to subscribe to “Graffiti” at no cost (as outlined on that page) but in assured expectation of much pleasure in reading wonderful stuff we’ll send you every other week.
MARCH 30, 2009 - I'M TIRED... BY ROBERT A. HALL - A painfully honest confession by a man who doesn't recognize the world that has emerged; THE POLAR BEAR LIE - BY TOM DeWEESE - A lie that is working is still only a lie; AND THE WINNER IS: THE GLORIOUS ACORN! - BY MICHELLE MALKIN. Their shirts are not brown - they are red. But they are just as dangerous and their numbers are growing while the government is putting millions into their budget; WE'LL PRY GLOBAL WARMING FROM THEIR COLD DEAD HEARTS BY DAN GAINOR - Yes, it's absurd and yes, it will be very expensive and probably screw up our economy but we will sing glorious songs as we march off the cliff with the rest of the Global Warming fanatics. A pity.
MARCH 9, 2009 - WHEN FRANCE WAS ISRAEL'S GREATEST FRIEND or MON NOM EST BOND. JACQUES FRANCOIS BOND! - A murky tale of spies, deception and other such stuff; A LETTER FROM PRISON - BY ANONYMOUS WITH REMARKS BY SI - Something very different and very moving; I AM THE SOLDIER WHO SLEPT IN YOUR HOME - BY YISHAY G., ISRAELI RESERVE SOLDIER - "You return to your home which remains standing...it is clear that someone was in your home while you were away. I am that someone..."
FEBRUARY 23, 2009 - THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY - A few thoughts on the stimulus - caution: not for economists! WE ARE ALL FASCISTS NOW, By Michael Ledeen. A different look at fascism - It ain't what we think it is; OUTREACH YES. APOLOGY NO! - By the always brilliant Charles Krauthammer - We more than respected them - we bled for them and got no respect or gratitude! OBAMA'S RHETORIC IS THE REAL 'CATASTROPHE'! By Bradley R. Schiller. Fearmongering is not really a good thing - things could be - and were - a lot worse.
FEBRUARY 9, 2009 - DEMOCRACY ANALYZED - Is democracy a good thing? Or is it bad? Well, according to some very respected authorities it is both; IRAN IS THE "MOTHER REGIME" OF HAMAS AND HEZBOLLAH. WILL ISRAEL GO IT ALONE? - It looks like Netanyahu will be elected to be Israel's Prime Minister on February 10. Here is an exclusive interview in what he thinks and what he intends to do; WELCOME PRESIDENT OBAMA! - An unusually mellow piece on President Obama's inauguration by a usually much more abrasive former lefty and currently passionately conservative David Horowitz; CONGRATULATIONS AMERICA! - Disillusionment, anger, disappointment and more from a major British newspaper on Obama's victory.
JANUARY 19, 2009 - THE SECRET MONEY IN YOUR WALLET - There are billions that are pouring into your wallet already but no one pays any attention to it. If the stimulus idea is worthwhile - then why is this stimulus a secret? Hint: are you paying less to fill your gas tank than you did a month or two ago? MY DEATH SENTENCE - The Americans commuted my death sentence but the Europeans and others are trying to restore it. I am worried! THE PLAIN TRUTH ABOUT GLORIOUS CARBON DIOXIDE - CO2 is probably the most maligned substance there is - the ignoramuses blame it for everything that is wrong with our atmosphere, climate and pollution. In fact, it is a wonderful and useful gas that is responsible for all that grows on our planet; ZIMBABWE IS DYING - A graphic account of a tragedy that has turned a wealthy and prosperous country - Rhodesia - into a living hell! Are the people better off now that it is Zimbabwe? I think not. And why doesn't anyone care?
JANUARY 12, 2009 - VICTORIOUS CHICKENS AND DEFEATED "M" WORD - California liked chickens more than Obama but the gay community was upset at the defeat of Prop. 8 - single sex marriage. There were demonstrations at Mormon temples and boycotts of supporters of Prop.8 but no boycotts of black businesses and athletic events. Here is a possible explanation; BUSH IS A READER - This is sure to surprise you - it did me. Who would have thought, the "ignoramus from Texas", "the retarded illiterate" (actual quotes from what you get at Google when you type in "Bush reads") reads more avidly than most of us and not just detective stories. A good lesson on not to believe what the media hacks tell us all! ; GLOBAL WARMING FREEZE? - A scientist (yes, a real scientist!) talks about the cooling temperatures worldwide. And, by the way, did you notice that there is no more term "global warming" in the media? It is now referred to as "climate change"! Could "nuclear winter" be coming back from obscurity?; ISRAEL'S RESPONSE IS DISPROPORTIONATE! - I agree with everything Jonathan Mark has written. Yes, it is disproportionate!
DECEMBER 29, 2008 - A BICYCLE IN AMERICA'S FUTURE? - Should we give more money to the big three so that they don't take the ball and go home with it? We didn't give any money to Hudson, Packard, Kaiser, Frazer, Willys-Overland, Studebaker, Nash and a dozen more failed auto manufacturers, but somehow other cars kept being made, sold and driven. How did we manage? And what about all of the typewriter, VHS and recording tape, cash register, fax machine, carbon paper and reel-to-reel and phonograph manufacturers? And the hundreds of thousands who have lost their jobs when Prohibition closed down alcohol sales? How did we survive their disappearance without taxpayer money? Hmm? JEWS GET KILLED BUT MUSLIMS FEEL VULNERABLE - By Mark Steyn - Muslims in Europe are worried and are uncomfortable by the reaction of he world to Islamic terror. Should we apologize for being upset by Mumbai? REFUSENIK THE MOVIE! A SHAMELESS PLUG FOR A DOCUMENTARY YOU SHOULD GET, GIVE IT TO YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN AND SEE FOR YOURSELF WHAT HAD BEEN DONE NOT SO LONG AGO TO BRING JEWS OUT OF EXILE - I know, I know, we already have the Passover story and we celebrate it every year, but this is uncannily similar - I bet there will be a Haggada written about this Exodus as well; FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION - Victor Davis Hanson, A proud and sensible lesson from a distinguished historian and proud America. Read it - you will feel better!
DECEMBER 15, 2008 - THE GOOD NOOSE AND THE BAD NOOSE - Some hangings are more politically correct than others; WHAT COSTS ALMOST $2 MILLION, WEIGHS 30 TONS, STANDS 33 FEET HIGH AND IS MADE IN ISRAEL? - Hint#1: it isn't a weapon, doesn't save lives but you might break your leg because of it if you aren't careful; hint #2 - it is like selling sand to Saudi Arabia; POSTCARD FROM ISRAEL - Tomorrow's future - a report on the first ever young adults conference; PACIFICCORP AGREES TO REMOVE DAMS or THE QUADRUPLET IS STILL MISSING! - Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly and if you don't have water, well, get over it...
NOVEMBER 24, 2008 - WHEN MOSES WAS IN EGYPT LAND... - How do you find a black pastore and his flock at an Israel flag raising ceremony?; RISING AMBITIONS - SINKING POPULATIONS - A 20-year old man's odds in Russia today has less than 50% chance of making it to the age of 65. By contrast, five out of six American men can expect to reach their 65th birthday, and the chances are even better in Japan and most of Western Europe. Is it vodka? A Zionist plot? A Divine curse?; OBAMA'S CAR PUZZLE - Will Detroit survive? Will it be forced to produce planned cars under a 5-year plan imposed by Congress - dull, inefficient, slow, one color fits all - just like the government designed and mandated Soviet, East German and Yugoslav atrocities? Or will there be a takeover by efficient capitalists (foreign? domestic?) who will manage to produce a good product without tax payer subsidies?; McCAIN, OBAMA AND TAXES - Who pays what to whom and how? A useful primer for all of us ignoramuses on the one subject that everyone has an opinion on.
NOVEMBER 10, 2008 - DEJA VU 68 YEARS AGO - Childhood memories revived again as the Russian soldiers march in; ENOUGH ALREADY! Analysis by a former Soviet citizen who can explain media bias; MEMO FROM LONDON: DEAR PRUDENCE! Not a commentary, just a straight forward news report on how the Brits are coping - or not coping - with the economic crisis; HOW TAXES WORK! - An excellent lesson for those of us - and I am among them - who don't really understand how taxation works and may be surprised at the simplicity of it all.
OCTOBER 27, 2008 - ANOTHER CHARITY PUZZLE? - Why are politicians so cheap and become even more tightfisted when they aren't running for office. See for yourself the disgusting facts - names are named, donations are compared and shame and derision are felt (not by them - by the rest of us); THE INEXPRIENCED PRESIDENT - Some of our presidents were uneducated, inexperienced, physically impaired and bad businessmen. Thank God for them!; WILL RUSSIA GET AWAY WITH THIS? - Yes, says Willam Kristol (not the talented Billy Cristal whom I love for his talent and despise for his politics) who doesn't have much hope and respect for Russia and its compadres; FORGETTING THE EVILS OF COMMUNISM - Jonah Goldberg mourns the passing of two giant figures of the 20th century who hadn't forgotten and asked us not to forget. A fit reminder at a time when communal memories do not last long enough to teach historical lessons that may well be repeated.
OCTOBER 13, 2008 - THE MISSING QUADRUPLET - This family is incomplete, one sibling is missing but no one seems to care...; THE GREEN BUBBLE BURSTS - An interesting point of view from two very green and vey brave environmentalists who are here committing sacrilege by contradicting the Church of St. Al Gore; REQUIEM FOR A RAT - And for something completely different: the deeply buried super-classified secret of the Israeli army and its loss of its bravest of the brave commanders; DON'T GIVE UP ON THE BULLS YET - At a pessimistic time a ray of sunshine and optimism. Enjoy it! It is indeed possible that things are not as bad as they seem.
September 29, 2008 - THE SECRET ACADEMY THAT ISN'T - A true report on a real entity that should be secret but sees no reason to hide. It subverts and infiltrates foreign countries, including the U.S. - with a foothold in California and elsewhere. It apparently has unlimited control of the Russian government, it was created by Putin before he became president and most important Russian political and military figures are its proud members. - TAXES - REAL AND IMAGINARY - An analysis and a comparison of the taxes that are proposed by the two presidential candidates. If you are like most of us - confused by the promises and B.S. of the campaigns, take a few minutes to look at this.
August 18, 2008 - WITH FRIENDS LIKE THIS... - By your friends ye shall be known...; A BLACK CONSERVATIVES LAMENT by Larry Elder. Correspondence with a black friend on victimhood and related sad issues; OBAMA'S NAIVE BERLIN SPEECH by Dennis Prager. Was it naivete, sincere ignorance or calculated deception? Either way it is tragic; DRILLING AND BLISSFUL IGNORANCE by Charles Krauthammer. If we don't drill, will it help our environment and "save the planet"? Would we rather there was drilling in Kuwait, Nigeria or Sudan since they apparently are much more environmentally aware than we are? Yes, I am only kidding but Nancy Pelosi isn't.
August 4, 2008 - GRATEFULLY YOURS, GEORGE W. BUSH - A letter that President Bush might send to Senator Obama if he had better manners. Or maybe W still doesn't realize that his legacy is safe in Barack's hands (unless he will be too busy creating the Department of Tire Inflation Enforcement that will solve our energy crisis once and for all...; THE BARNETT SHALE - A fascinating editorial from the New York Sun about a giant reservoir of energy that has been discovered in Texas, right under the Dallas metropolitan area, where millions of barrels will be obtained without bothering the people who live above it - not as sensitive as caribou or polar bears, I guess; ANTI-SEMITISM WITHOUT ANTI-SEMITES - A speech delivered by a German (Jewish) scholar and writer who accuses German liberals - including members of the Parliament and educators - of preaching Jew hatred under the cover of anti-Israeli policies. Does this sound similar to what is happening here?
July 21, 2008 - THE STINKY ROSE - by Si Frumkin - Zimbabwe, the country formerly known as Rhodesia and the "Bread basket of Africa" is starving. It has the highest inflation in the world and can no longer buy paper to print the billion dollar money notes. But, at the U.N. China and Russia have vetoed sanctions against Zimbabwe - South Africa, Vietnam and Lybia voted against sanctions as well. A quick primer on Zimbabwe - read it soon - pretty soon there will be nothing left there except corpses. Once again the facts are these: if the U.S. doesn't do anything about oppression, genocide, murder of innocents and monsters ruling a nation, NO ONE WILL DO IT! ; A WORLD WITHOUT CHILDREN, by Jeff Jacoby of the Boston Globe - Europe's population is shrinking and soon there will only be the Muslims left to live in the ruins of civilizations; OBAMA'S MONEY CLASS, David Brooks, NY Times - He claims that it is the "little" people who give him money but the truth is elsewhere - most of it comes from financiers and big money elites; AT THIS RESTAURANT THE TAXPAYERS ARE COOKED, Ed Feulner, Townhall, 6/10/08 - Maxine Waters, a California congresswoman has suggested that the oil companies should be nationalized and run by the government. The government is losing millions running the restaurant (not a cheap one) at the U.S. Senate - will you trust the government to run our energy supplies?
July 7, 2008 - A SPECIAL 3 X "E" ISSUE: ENERGY, ENIVRONMENT, ECOLOGY! - DO IT AT NIGHT! - Avoiding power blackouts simply and profitably; THE TIMBER GENOCIDE - Stop murdering trees - and the Sunday paper has much of the blame; RESETTING THE EARTH'S THERMOSTAT - Put sulphur in the atmosphere and iron in the oceans, just like the volcanoes and enjoy a cool earth; FIVE SALUTES: To the Beverly Hillbillies, the Alaskan moose, two dunces, ANWR, the Cuban sea shores. What do you get? Five Ramirez masterpieces about the energy crisis. (What is it about "DRILL, DRILL, DRILL" that you don't understand?)
June 23, 2008 - PRIDE, SHAME AND BLAME - I believe that the only ethnicity in the U.S. that honors, respects and re-elects its crooks and evil doers is the black one. But lately, there are signs of change, or are there?; PEACE WITH FRIENDS by Caroline Glick - An unusual look at who may be the best friend and ally of Israel in the future. Her previous record is excellent - her predictions do come true, but is this too far off the wall? ; ENVIRONMENTALISTS' WILD PREDICTIONS By Walter E. Williams - Here is a list of previous forecasts of global catastrophes by respected scientists - including Al Gore's favorite - that have just one thing in common: they were all wrong! But being a scientific panic monger means never having to say that you're sorry - and it also means government grants, publicity and even Nobel Prizes.
June 6, 2008 - NON-EXISTENT MYTHICAL OIL PROBLEM. - Really!! - A thorough analysis based on available facts that proves the existence of oil reserves that will last for decades and can be accessed almost immediately and even greater oil that can be produced from shale, rock and coal - enough for centuries if only our Congress allows it! - THROWING STONES AT HAGEE By Joel Mowbray, Washington Times, 5/15/08 - A FEW INTERESTING TRIVIA FACTS - A change of pace from the usual material; A GAFFE, AN ABSURDITY, A POLICY The usual wise and witty expose by Charles Krauthammer, 5/23/08.
May 26, 2008 - A SELDOM MENTIONED CAUSE OF MUSLIM BACKWARDNESS - It isn't the women's fault - quite the contrary, says Professor Lewis. ANTISEMITISM AMONG MUSLIM YOUTH IN AUSTRALIA - A fascinating b- but not surprising analysis by a left-wing high school teacher. THE G.O.P.

April 28, 2008 - MY OSCAR (MAYBE?) IN 2008 - Dreaming? Fantasy? Well, maybe. And then, maybe not. It's a good film and I hope you'll go to see it and if you are an Academy member - vote for it! See you in the movies! THE CLINTONS' TERROR PARDONS - It takes up all three pages but it is worth reading. I bet you didn't know about it- at least in such detail (I know I didn't) and I believe that more people should know the shame and the corruption of that White House.
April 14, 2008 - MAYBE BRIBING IS BETTER (AND FASTER) - In Russia the judge wouldn't dream of asking if court could be held on Passover; HOW I SPENT 3 WEEKS ON AN ARMY BASE - PART 4 Amazing, fifteen years later the article I wrote then applies to today - the same enemies, the same despair, the same problems, the same advice; MY GUN DIDN'T DO IT - I DID!

March 31, 2008 - OBAMA'S BLACK MAGIC - How a magically great orator can make the obvious invisible; HOW I SPENT THREE WEEKS AT AN ARMY BASE or HOW I DIDN'T GET TOBE THE ISRAELI KILROY - The shower head I stole and donated to the army and the tank I didn't autograph; THE REAL WORLD THREAT: CLIMATE ALARMISTS!
