A Taste of Exotic Meats at the Explorers Club Annual Dinner
Eyeballs Gene Rurka shows off some of the cow eyeballs that he is going to serve at the Explorers Club Annual Dinner.
This past Saturday, March 17, was the 108th Explorers Club Annual Dinner. It was held, as ever, at the Waldorf-Astoria in Manhattan, because that's traditional and also because the Waldorf has a very liberal attitude toward allowing camels and kangaroos to mill around in its ballroom.
Before the live animals are trotted out on stage, the opening hour of the festivity is dedicated to cocktails -- such as the Explorers Club Martini, which has a cow's eyeball in it for garnish -- and exotic eatables, all sourced, prepared, and masterminded by Gene Rurka, the club's "Exotics Chairman."

The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.
