Illegitimate Government
Los Angeles Neighborhood Council Operates Outside the Law
By Carol Knapp, 7/12/2006 – Several years ago the City of Los Angeles divided LA into Neighborhoods with Councils for the purpose of implementing Sustainable Development policies. Carol Knapp understands the implications of her neighborhood council, and has documented and filed a formal grievance against certain people and entities for their illegality and breach of public ethics. The patterns of LA are sweeping the Country.
Private Property
Code Enforcement Falsely Subjects Widow to Red Tags
By Ronald A. Zumbrun, 7/11/2006 – A true nightmare story of what can happen when you find yourself outside the political “inner circle.” A relative of a disgruntled employee told Hillary Falconer of Briarcliff Farm that she was going to report Falconer to the county and other agencies. Shortly thereafter, Briarcliff Farm was inspected by the enforcement unit of the Planning Department of the County of Santa Cruz. And thus, the nightmare began!
Santa Cruz "red-tagging" is an experiment in social engineering. Those in favor with those in power get special treatment. Those who are not in favor often end up with alleged building code violations called "red tags." This is not the story of a free America that has rights protected by the Constitution. Rather, it portrays the “Gestapo of the West” where only the wealthy or those willing to commit their life savings or retirement funds have a chance to protect themselves.*
Climate Change
A Convenient Lie
By John Stossel, 7/5/2006 – "It’s the money!" says Dr. Baliunas. "Twenty-five billion dollars in government funding has been spent since 1990 to research global warming. If scientists and researchers were coming out releasing reports that global warming has little to do with man, and most to do with just how the planet works, there wouldn’t be as much money to study it." And the politicians would have one less excuse to take control of our lives.
