Two bills, currently pending in the Florida legislature, would empower a city or county to take away an individual's private property and resell it to a developer.

The two bills are H.B. 1513, which has been cleared by three House committees. The Senate companion bill is S.B. 2548, which has cleared the comprehensive planning committee has is expected to be amended. Both bills are expected to be voted upon this week, as the legislative session ends Friday.

Under this new law, if the government believes that the land would be better used by someone else, they'll be able to take it away, and sell it to a developer. The only stipulation is that the injured party, who has his land taken, receives "fair" compensation.

But who decides what is fair compensation? How can you negotiate with an entity who tells you they are taking your property? Isn't that a lot like a thief who says they are stealing your priceless diamonds and then offers you ten dollars for them? I suppose you might take the ten bucks; you have no other alternative.

If you are negotiating with someone who is stealing your property, you have no leverage with which to negotiate. And what about the sentimental, or ancestral heritage of the land, which adds to the value? What about the family memories associated with a house, a person's most intimate sanctuary? How can government translate the heritage of an individual's land into a monetary figure? And what right do they have to decide that your land use isn't good enough?

To those who don't want to leave their homes, the Florida government says that it's just too bad. Even if your home has been in your family for a hundred years or more, if the government wants it for some reason, then that's just too bad for you. They'll give you what they think it's worth, and then you're out on your ear.

Sadly, this isn't just happening in Florida. Similar incidents are repeated in various states all across the country. It is the result of the United Nations Agenda 21 — the blueprint for "Sustainable Development" — which is being implemented in America. It is an effort to change private property into public property. Then, anyone who has land, doesn't actually own it. Instead, it is called "land use", which implies that it can be taken away at any time.

Private land ownership, to these creatures, isn't "sustainable". They think that if individuals are allowed to continue owning their own property, life on earth will someday cease to exist, because humans are destroying everything.

In reality, humans have owned private property for hundreds of years.

It is a Marxist principle to terminate all private property use. The land is the means of production. Without land, a person is reduced to selling their labor for wages.

A person who owns land, is more difficult to control. He is a person who has the ability to build his own business and make his own money. He is a person who is able to garden, and therefore, feed his own family. He doesn't have to depend upon government assistance. Hence, he is not as subject to government controls and manipulation.

One of goals of the Communists is to put the means of production off limits. The very first plank of the Communist Manifesto is "Abolition of private property and the application of all rent to public purpose". That's followed by the income tax and the abolition of all rights of inheritance. In fact, every plank of the Communist Manifesto is being practiced in every state in the country that Americans are still calling the "land of the free".

Johann von Goethe once said, "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free". If this is true, then Americans have to be among the most hopeless people in the history of humanity.

I would advise anyone, living in Florida, to contact your legislators and let them know of your disapproval of these measures. You might work for a change in your state's constitution as well.

And for the sponsors of bills like these, aren't we overdue for a good 'ole fashioned tar and feathering?

audio post — Even as the debate rages on over homosexual marriage in America, supermarket giant Meijer has aligned itself with the cultural Marxists who wish to deconstruct traditional morality.

Click images to enlarge.




In a commercial set to begin airing today, one man is seen standing at a barbecue, grilling steaks. Another man, approaches the first and receives a piece of steak from him.




Noticing the "Kiss the Cook" on the first man's apron, the recipient then kisses him on the lips.




He then walks away, back to a table in the background where two women are seated.

I believe this to be an astonishing corporate endorsement of the homosexual movement, and possesses the potential to set precedents for the future.

Even though there are two women in the background, portraying two men kissing on the lips in a commercial, is a remarkable milestone for the homosexual movement. By showing one man kissing another on the lips, Meijer is helping to condition the public to accept images of men kissing. They are thereby paving the way for other commercial marketers to do the same, and more blatantly promote the homosexual lifestyle.

If the public do not stand up and protest, this type of perversion will likely become common in advertising, as the homosexuals are more often seen as a marketable demographic.

One of the "Current Communist Goals", outlined in The Naked Communist by Cleon Skousen and entered into the Congressional record in January 1963, was to "present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as 'normal, natural, healthy.'" (Goal #26)

Marxists know that a people who lack virtue are easier to conquer. They will conform more easily to a godless system of governance. A principled, virtuous people will stand and fight for rights and freedom. A virtuous people won't spy on their neighbors, for instance, and betray them.

In order to implement communism in America, morality must go.

Already we've seen homosexuality and bestiality promoted and even glamorized by the entertainment industry. MTV's awards show, a few months ago, featured a mock wedding in which pop stars Brittany Spears and Christina Aguilera engaged in lip-locks with Madonna.

This is the first time to this writer's knowledge, however, that a giant corporate sponsor has so blatantly aligned itself with these moral degenerates. By showing two men kissing in its television ads, Meijer is demonstrating that it is not afraid to align itself with a new definition of "family" — a definition which includes single-gender spouses.

Meijer is testing the waters. If they are successful — if there is no outrage from the good people of America — there will be more ads. Soon other advertisers will follow suit. Marketing to homosexuals will become commonplace. And no more will families be able to watch a television broadcast, without their children being exposed to what amounts to homosexual evangelism.

I strongly urge all Americans who are concerned about decency and virtue, to call Meijer's corporate headquarters and voice your displeasure at this ad. Tell Meijer that you don't approve of their promotion of the homosexual agenda by showing a man kissing another man on the lips.

Contact Meijer:





Or you can send them an e-mail message by clicking here. When it asks you which store you visit, just pick one from the list if you don't have one in your area.

My e-mail message to Meijer (presented as an example - use your own words):

I have just seen the ad that you are running on television in my area. I am shocked that you would promote the homosexual agenda by showing two men kissing each other on the lips. How dare you send this message into my home unsolicited! My impressionable children are watching television during the times that your ads run. As a frequent shopper at your stores, I will not continue to support a grocery store that aligns itself and promotes indecency as a part of their marketing strategy. My money can be better spent elsewhere. If the homosexual patrons are that important to you, you don't need my money.

Update: Meijer pulls ad with men kissing

Louisiana state Rep. Derrick Shepherd really needs a hobby.

Shepherd introduced a bill that would punish anyone that was caught wearing "low-riding" pants with a fine of $500, six months in jail, or both.

The busybody legislator said that he was tired of catching glimpes of boxer shorts and G-strings.

"The community's outraged", he said. "And if parents can't do their job, if parents can't regulate what their children wear, then there should be a law."

No, Mr. Shepherd. There should be a law requiring legislators to mind their own business. It isn't government's job to regulate the type of clothing we wear.

If the bill is passed it would be added to the state's obscenity law, which bans the sale of sexually explicit items, and bans sex acts in public places.

It is not known if the bill would prohibit overweight construction workers, or plumbers from bending over on the job.

Shepherd is a first term lawmaker. Let's hope it's also his last.

The ruling spooks in Washington D.C., as a matter of policy, censor media coverage and images of the coffins of military men and women killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Dana Milbank writes in the October 21st, 2003 edition of the Washington Post:

"Since the end of the Vietnam War, presidents have worried that their military actions would lose support once the public glimpsed the remains of U.S. soldiers arriving at air bases in flag-draped caskets. To this problem, the Bush administration has found a simple solution: It has ended the public dissemination of such images by banning news coverage and photography of dead soldiers' homecomings on all military bases.

"In March, on the eve of the Iraq war, a directive arrived from the Pentagon at U.S. military bases. 'There will be no arrival ceremonies for, or media coverage of, deceased military personnel returning to or departing from Ramstein [Germany] airbase or Dover [Del.] base, to include interim stops,' the Defense Department said, referring to the major ports for the returning remains.

"A Pentagon spokeswoman said the military-wide policy actually dates from about November 2000 -- the last days of the Clinton administration -- but it apparently went unheeded and unenforced, as images of caskets returning from the Afghanistan war appeared on television broadcasts and in newspapers until early this year. Though Dover Air Force Base, which has the military's largest mortuary, has had restrictions for 12 years, others 'may not have been familiar with the policy,' the spokeswoman said. This year, 'we've really tried to enforce it.'"

On Wednesday, I posted the above picture, that was taken by Tami Silicio. She was a Kuwait-based cargo worker, who snapped the picture of flag-draped coffins, filled with the bodies of soldiers who were returning from Iraq. Silicio worked for a company who is contracted by the Pentagon. Her picture was posted in Sunday's edition of the Seattle Times. She was fired this week because of the photo.

Also this week, a day after Silicio was fired for her photo infraction, an excellent web site called The Memory Hole, published over 300 photos that they obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request. The request had initially been denied, but was approved upon appeal.

After the Memory Hole published the photos, they were picked up by mainstream newspapers and finally broadcast media were forced to carry them.

Now, today, we learn that the Defense Department has ordered the no more photos be released.

Of what are they afraid? That the truth about how many are dying in Iraq will get out? Are they concerned that Americans might awaken to the reality that another Vietnam is already a reality?

The following is a sampling of some of the photos. These are a few of the photos that the Pentagon and the Illuminati spooks who make up our shadow government fear for you to see. Click each one to enlarge.



Even though there will be no more photos, there will be more coffins. And maybe, in the future they won't bother to place them into flag-decorated boxes.

• Pentagon Eyes Mass Graves for U.S. Soldiers

audio post — Comments about a new effort to establish another agency to keep you "secure". This is my reaction to an interview that I heard on NPR's All Things Considered.

Remember what Benjamin Franklin said: "They that can give up essential liberties to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

As U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix was going through the motions of searching for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the belief never left my mind that the U.S. government would either plant the weapons, or lyingly say that they'd found them. This belief continued following the U.S. invasion into Iraq, and the subsequent overthrow of its government.

As days stretched into weeks, and weeks into months, the nagging question kept hounding me. Why hadn't they planted the weapons?

Well, as it turns out, they tried.

US tried to plant WMDs, failed: whistleblower

Daily Times Monitor
April 11, 2004

According to a stunning report posted by a retired Navy Lt Commander and 28-year veteran of the Defense Department (DoD), the Bush administration's assurance about finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was based on a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) plan to "plant" WMDs inside the country. Nelda Rogers, the Pentagon whistleblower, claims the plan failed when the secret mission was mistakenly taken out by "friendly fire", the Environmentalists Against War report.

Nelda Rogers is a 28-year veteran debriefer for the DoD. She has become so concerned for her safety that she decided to tell the story about this latest CIA-military fiasco in Iraq. According to Al Martin Raw.com, "Ms. Rogers is number two in the chain of command within this DoD special intelligence office. This is a ten-person debriefing unit within the central debriefing office for the Department of Defense."

The information that is being leaked out is information obtained while she was in Germany heading up the debriefing of returning service personnel, involved in intelligence work in Iraq for the DoD and/or the CIA. "According to Ms Rogers, there was a covert military operation that took place both preceding and during the hostilities in Iraq," reports Al Martin Raw.com, an online subscriber-based news/analysis service which provides "Political, Economic and Financial Intelligence".

Al Martin is a retired Lt Commander (US Navy), the author of a memoir called "The Conspirators: Secrets of an Iran-Contra Insider," and is considered one of America's foremost experts on corporate and government fraud. Ms Rogers reports that this particular covert operation team was manned by former military personnel and "the unit was paid through the Department of Agriculture in order to hide it, which is also very commonplace".

According to Al Martin Raw.com, "the Agriculture Department has often been used as a paymaster on behalf of the CIA, DIA, NSA and others". According to the Al Martin Raw.com story, another aspect of Ms Rogers' report concerns a covert operation which was to locate the assets of Saddam Hussein and his family, including cash, gold bullion, jewelry and assorted valuable antiquities. The problem became evident when "the operation in Iraq involved 100 people, all of whom apparently are now dead, having succumbed to so-called 'friendly fire'. The scope of this operation included the penetration of the Central Bank of Iraq, other large commercial banks in Baghdad, the Iraqi National Museum and certain presidential palaces where monies and bullion were secreted."

"They identified about $2 billion in cash, another $150 million in Euros, in physical banknotes, and about another $100 million in sundry foreign currencies ranging from Yen to British Pounds," reports Al Martin.

"These people died, mostly in the same place in Baghdad, supposedly from a stray cruise missile or a combination of missiles and bombs that went astray," Martin continues. "There were supposedly 76 who died there and the other 24 died through a variety of 'friendly fire', 'mistaken identity' and some of them — their whereabouts are simply unknown." Ms Rogers' story sounds like an updated 21st-century version of Treasure Island meets Ali Baba and the Bush Cabal Thieves, writes Martin.

"This was a contingent of CIA/ DoD operatives, but it was really the CIA that bungled it," Ms Rogers said. "They were relying on the CIA's ability to organise an effort to seize these assets and to be able to extract these assets because the CIA claimed it had resources on the ground within the Iraqi army and the Iraqi government who had been paid. That turned out to be completely bogus. As usual."

"CIA people were supposed to be handling it," Martin continues. "They had a special 'black' aircraft to fly it out. But none of that happened because the regular US Army showed up, stumbled onto it and everyone involved had to scramble. These new Iraqi "asset seizures" go directly to the New US Ruling Junta. The US Viceroy in Iraq Paul Bremer is reportedly drinking Saddam's $2000 a bottle Napoleon-era brandy, smoking his expensive Davidoff cigars and he has even furnished his office with Saddam's Napoleon-era furniture.

Hence, the looting of Iraq continues.

Apparently, the Army and the CIA don't compare notes. Therefore, the smoking gun that the Shadow Government-controlled Bush administration so desperately needed to appear, didn't.

Does it really matter? Bush will be a single term president, just like his daddy. And the agenda of world globalism will continue under our next traitor president, bonesman John Kerry.

Isn't it great being an American? Or should I say, a citizen of the world?

They say that the first casualty of war, is the truth.

I couldn't help but laugh, as I read the following piece that Jackie Patru sent me to post on the Sweet Liberty site. Not because it was really funny. There's nothing funny about Iraq. There never is anything funny about war.

The piece details a propaganda campaign that has been launched upon the American people to build support for the war in Iraq.

At a time when some — both inside and outside of government — are referring to the war in Iraq as "Bush's Vietnam", it seems there are some who will do anything to prop up their mission in the minds of the American people.

Those of us in the know, are already aware that we've been massively propagandized through the official channels of the media — both print and broadcast.

We have pictorial evidence that the media staged the rally in Baghdad, following the toppling of the Saddam regime, where the Iraqi people were yanking down a statue of Saddam.

Even before that, we've posted pictures from wire services, run in newspapers across the country, where the media used the same actors to pose as both Muslim haters, and Jewish mourners.

Now comes a different type of propaganda attack. One that is meant to bypass the official channels of the media, and to appear to come from the soldiers themselves. It's the letter to the editior.

Media reports indicate that a letter is being circulated to several newspapers, that was not written by the soldiers whose name appear on the signature lines.

Here is the story, as reported by Ledyard King of Gannet News Service:

WASHINGTON -- Letters from hometown soldiers describing their successes rebuilding Iraq have been appearing in newspapers across the country as U.S. public opinion on the mission sours.
And all the letters are the same.

A Gannett News Service search found identical letters from different soldiers with the 2nd Battalion of the 503rd Airborne Infantry Regiment, also known as "The Rock," in 11 newspapers, including Snohomish, Wash.

The Olympian received two identical letters signed by different hometown soldiers: Spc. Joshua Ackler and Spc. Alex Marois, who is now a sergeant. The paper declined to run either because of a policy not to publish form letters.

The five-paragraph letter talks about the soldiers' efforts to re-establish police and fire departments, and build water and sewer plants in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk, where the unit is based.

"The quality of life and security for the citizens has been largely restored, and we are a large part of why that has happened," the letter reads.

It describes people waving at passing troops and children running up to shake their hands and say thank you.

It's not clear who wrote the letter or organized sending it to soldiers' hometown papers.

Six soldiers reached by GNS directly or through their families said they agreed with the letter's thrust. But none of the soldiers said he wrote it, and one said he didn't even sign it.

Marois, 23, told his family he signed the letter, said Moya Marois, his stepmother. But she said he was puzzled why it was sent to the newspaper in Olympia. He attended high school in Olympia but no longer considers the city home, she said. Moya Marois and Alex's father, Les, now live near Kooskia, Idaho.

A seventh soldier didn't know about the letter until his father congratulated him for getting it published in the local newspaper in Beckley, W.Va.

"When I told him he wrote such a good letter, he said: 'What letter?' " Timothy Deaconson said Friday, recalling the phone conversation he had with his son, Nick. "This is just not his (writing) style."

He spoke to his son, Pfc. Nick Deaconson, at a hospital where he was recovering from a grenade explosion that left shrapnel in both his legs.

Sgt. Christopher Shelton, who signed a letter that ran in the Snohomish Herald, said Friday that his platoon sergeant had distributed the letter and asked soldiers for the names of their hometown newspapers. Soldiers were asked to sign the letter if they agreed with it, said Shelton, whose shoulder was wounded during an ambush earlier this year.

"Everything it said is dead accurate. We've done a really good job," he said by phone from Italy, where he was preparing to return to Iraq.

Sgt. Todd Oliver, a spokesman for the 173rd Airborne Brigade, which counts the 503rd as one of its units, said he was told a soldier wrote the letter, but he didn't know who. He said the brigade's public affairs unit was not involved.

"When he asked other soldiers in his unit to sign it, they did," Oliver explained in an e-mail response to a GNS inquiry. "Someone, somewhere along the way, took it upon themselves to mail it to the various editors of newspapers across the country."

Lt. Col. Bill MacDonald, a spokesman for the 4th infantry Division that is heading operations in north-central Iraq, said he had not heard about the letter-writing campaign.

Neither had Lt. Cmdr. Nick Balice, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Fla.

A recent poll suggests that Americans are increasingly skeptical of America's prolonged involvement in Iraq. A USA Today-CNN-Gallup Poll released Sept. 23 found 50 percent believe that the situation in Iraq was worth going to war over, down from 73 percent in April.

The letter talks about the soldiers' mission, saying, "one thousand of my fellow soldiers and I parachuted from ten jumbo jets." It describes Kirkuk as "a hot and dusty city of just over a million people." It tells about the progress they have made.

"The fruits of all our soldiers' efforts are clearly visible in the streets of Kirkuk today. There is very little trash in the streets, many more people in the markets and shops, and children have returned to school," the letter reads. "I am proud of the work we are doing here in Iraq and I hope all of your readers are as well."

Sgt. Shawn Grueser of Poca, W.Va., said he spoke to a military public affairs officer whose name he couldn't remember about his accomplishments in Iraq for what he thought was a news release to be sent to his hometown paper in Charleston, W.Va. But the 2nd Battalion soldier said he did not sign any letter.

Although Grueser said he agrees with the letter's sentiments, he was uncomfortable that a letter with his signature did not contain his own words or spell out his own accomplishments.

"It makes it look like you cheated on a test, and everybody got the same grade," Grueser said by phone from a base in Italy where he had just arrived from Iraq.

Moya Marois said she is proud of her stepson Alex, the former Olympia resident. But she worries that the letter tries to give legitimacy to a war she doesn't think was justified.

"We're going to support our son," she said. But "there are a lot of Americans that are not in support of this war that would like to see them returned home, and think it's going to get worse."

Meanwhile, in Iraq, it is getting worse. The condition continues to deteriorate, with Iraq falling into complete anarchy and an acceleration of deaths since the weekend. The parallels with the war in Vietnam are remarkable. Reuters is reporting that the line between "militants" and civilians is being blurred. U.S. and so-called "coalition" soldiers don't know who the enemy is, but the people of Iraq know. Their enemies are the occupation forces.

Our sources are telling us that the casualty numbers that are being reported in the news are artificially low. In reality, we have been told that they are putting the bodies of the dead soldiers in plastic tubes because they stack better that way.

As the Pentagon further lengthens units' tours of duty in Iraq, Hans Blix, the weapons inspector for the U.N. has admitted what some of us have known all along — the Iraqi people were better off with Saddam.
