Berlin Wall a la Pattaya - 2009

The Berlin Wall fell in November of 1989.

Several years ago a German expat in Pattaya tried to recreate one of many escape attempts over the infamous barrier between East and West by trying to evade police by leaping over a concrete wall topped by barbed wire in a state of nakedness. Stasi Police would have shot him dead back in the good old days of the DDR, however the Thai police responded by restraining the unclothed man and remanding the madman to his embassy.

I recall reading back in the 1970s about another mad German attempting suicide by an escape over the Berlin Wall. He ran out into the minefield without exploding a single bomb, then climbed the wall to become tangled in the wire. The guards shot at him and their errant bullets snapped the barbed wire, so the verrückter Mann fell into West Berlin. Disappointed by failures he jumped into the River Spree to drown only to be rescue by the US Army.

He cursed them all and fled into the path of a street car.

It killed him dead and he died a happy free man.

There is no success like a suicide getting to the end at last.

Free at last. Freikeit im Der Ende.

The Wall Of Trump The Great

The Great Wall of China was built to defend the Middle Kingdom from barbarian incursions and control border trade. Both the Mongols and Manchus breached the barrier to establish foreign empires.

Last year the Chinese film industry released THE GREAT WALL.

The enemy were lizard beasts.

They were stopped by a gwai-lo Western warrior.

And the Great Wall.

Millions of illegal aliens have flooded the USA.

ICE or the immigration gestapo have been overwhelmed by the numbers. White people are scared of losing their status in the USA.

Very scared.

Donald Trump capitalized on their fears and during the 2016 presidential election vowed to build a wall along the Mexican border paid for by Mexico.

Good idea, right?

Our neighbor's ex-President offered one gesture to # 45.

The rest of Mexico feels the same way.

So who will pay for the Trump Wall?

Americans, despite Trump's claims to force Mexico to later settle the cost of the $38 billion construction.

So far nothing has been built.

Just the same old wall as before serving to keep America safe.

Out in the middle of nowhere.

Or even more in the middle of somewhere.

Hundreds of firms are vying for the contract.

Here are some of the designs.

Wie der Berlin Wall.

A wall five times the height of # 45.

Or just say you're building a wall and charge the Mexicans for it.

The great con.

Keeping America great.

Dirty Donald Trump Sanchez

The Dirty Sanchez is a mythical legend about the sexual aftermath of anal sex.

It's all a joke, but on Wednesday GOP presidential hopeful flew in his private jet to Mexico City at the invitation of Mexican President Peña Nieto. Both men needed political boosts. The New York billionaire trails Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate, despite the intense distrust many Americans feel for the ex-First Lady. Enrique Peña Nieto is also troubled by scandal and murderous violence from the drug cartels, leaving him with a wretched 23% approval rating. The two men met at the National Palace in hopes of gaining traction from the encounter. They spoke about migration and trade.

The two politicians shook hands and wished each other 'via con dios'.

Trump jetted north of the border.

He told reporters that neither man had mentioned 'the Wall' or who will pay for it, although at a rally Donald Trump once more shouted to his followers that Mexico will pay for the coast-to-coast Wall.

$32 billion US, despite only 38% of voters supporting the Wall.

Trump still feels the pull of Mexico in this election.

It's his one big thing.

Along with the deportation of 11 million illegal aliens on the first day of his presidency.

With what army?

The Mexican Army?

What an idiot.

But then this is America, the land of the freaked.

Anything is possible with idiots at the controls.
