Problem with judicial picks

July 21, 2011
Senator Pryor offers three fresh picks for U.S. judge position.
Hardly fresh.  Two of them have been wallowing in government since the day their legal feet hit the ground.

The three candidates are Christine Baker, a private practice lawyer in Little Rock; Jane Duke, first assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District; and Collette Honorable, Chairman of the Arkansas Public Service Commission.

Pryor said when considering a judicial candidate, he asks himself “whether the person is well-qualified and impartial and has the proper judicial temperament”.

Are these fresh picks political cronies? Pryor’s statement of being “well-qualified” so indicates, followed by Senator Boozman’s statement  “will uphold our nation’s laws”.

An example: In 2008 ICE raided the Pilgrim’s Pride plant in N.E. Arkansas.  Prosecutor Duke’s statements after the raid were indeed chilling and showed conclusively that she was not acquainted with federal law or was acting on orders from D.C. not to enforce U.S. law, i.e. 8 USC.  Here are her statements dealing with the illegal Mexicans in the Pilgrim’s Pride raid.  “Her office has no interest seeing those arrested serving jail time as they were otherwise law-abiding citizens”.  Say again, Ms. Duke, illegals are law-abiding Citizens??  Prosecutor Duke goes on to say “they came here to better their lives and their family lives by working”.    Federal Prosecutors are appointed to enforce the rule of law, not massage 3rd World criminals or fail to arrest their employers who are committing felonies by aiding and abetting illegal aliens.

Government called on pandering to illegals


Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel            July 19, 2011

Concerning the verbal tiff between Republican Representative Jon Hubbard regarding A.G. McDaniel’s discriminatory conduct by not offering McDaniel’s websites in foreign languages other than Spanish.  Hubbard stated that was pandering to Hispanics in Arkansas, whether it be to those here legally or illegally.  Hubbard alleged that McDaniel had updated his website directed at Hispanics to curry favor in the voting box.  

McDaniel responded to Hubbard that his words were insulting and his premise to be without merit.
A.G. McDaniel further responded that Hubbard (both from the same hometown) had embarrassed their community.

So let’s get to the meat of the exchange.  McDaniel, as citizens know, is the chief law enforcement agent for the state of Arkansas.  Question:  who polices McDaniel?  McDaniel claimed adding the Spanish section to his website did not cost any additional taxpayer money because it was translated by an existing member of his staff who speaks Spanish fluently.  I do not recall Rep. Hubbard mentioning cost— defensive Dustin, defensive.  McDaniel went on to state, “it helps legal citizens of the state who also speak Spanish”. Dustin, the citizens are too smart to swallow that load of crap and why single out Spanish when there are at least 17 other cultures in the state?

Dusty, legal citizens speak English and are required by law if they are naturalized, or here in a professional capacity, or on visas to be able to use English as first language.   The illegals are the ones you are catering to, thumbing your nose at U.S. law. Specifically 8 USC which makes it a felony to aid or abet illegal aliens.  As chief law enforcement agent for the Arkansas state government, you are making fools of Arkansas citizens and running a racket which protects illegals and attracts others to enter our state. By your website actions you have increased the size of the magnet to attract illegal Mexicans and OTM’s.
Dusty, don’t your actions/words make you a criminal according to 8 USC? At the same time sabotaging middleclass Arkansans by diminishing their quality of life.  You have 70-80 lawyers working for you; do any of them recognize corruption?

By the way, are you still the up and coming fair-haired boy of the Globalist Aspen Institute?  Anymore international trips on their behalf?

Spare us your EXPENSIVE “Visions” !


Another Vision, accompanied by no logic, compliments of Madam Times Record Editor and Madam City Director                    July 17, 2011

Madam Editor, regarding your observations, you state we are in three “armed hostilities” (commonly known as Wars).  Madam Editor not 3 wars but SIX wars soon to be SEVEN, orchestrated by the fools we have sent & continue to send to D.C.  The last undeclared war—Libya, unilaterally implemented by the Marxist-Communist President Barack Hussein Obama in violation of the U.S. Constitution & the War Powers Act.   Remember his words in March?  Obama calls this a “humanitarian” effort while missiles rain down on innocent, helpless Libyan citizens and he stated this will last days, not weeks.   Perhaps Obama has forgotten how to count?  16 weeks later……

Madam Editor, you speak of venom being directed against Board members and their families…be specific.  Citizens questioning officials is not venom, but it is frustration from no answers.  After all, it is their money being squandered!

Madam Editor, you failed to note that a ½ % sales tax would have generated more than enough revenue to satisfy the needs of the Convention Center, so what’s with the other ½ ?  Voila, another “vision”…visions of sugar-plum fairies danced in their heads… C.C. manager Claude Legris had a “vision” called the “Opportunity Fund” to run festivals, etc., & continue to subsidize the embryonic Marshall’s Museum, which was billed as a private endeavor—enter New Market Tax Credits.  What is needed in this city is transparency and honesty.  Note the ridiculous cost of political “visions”!

Please tell us Madam Director Weber if the Advertising & Promotion Commission is not a government entity run by an unelected commission with no accountability?  So why did you suggest the A & P should be the ones in charge of the Convention Center? Recent legislation rewarded Legris & the Commission special tax advantages in running the C. C.
Madam Editor, you posed the question “will we build a community of mutual respect, or will we tear down what we’ve accomplished in lonely fear”….and what the hell is lonely fear?  Attempts to demonize questioning citizens are what are fearful & alarming.  Are you advocating there be no questions asked and at this juncture there have been no answers to any of the legitimate questions posed to the Board of Directors and absolutely no transparency?

 The Board of Directors has refused to address any number of questions dating back to former city manager Harding who was alleged to have been involved in any number of irregularities, i.e. drug treatment, alcoholism, car wrecks, etc. (by the way, who paid? ), leading up to the present, e.g. the mayor receiving $20,000 per month to be spent at his discretion, which is absolutely absurd & thievery; the inordinate growth of the police department & their AR 15 weaponry, SUV’s (why is this? ); the command post at the old N.G. armory; show of police force in Board meetings, uncashed water utility checks, etc. etc. Back in the day there was the inside trading Lee Creek fiasco.

Since the forced retirement of Jack Moseley there has not been one iota of investigative reporting done by this newspaper. An occasional softball editorial.  Did Warren put the handcuffs on you folks? 

Madam Editor, you list any number of critical problems that our country, state & cities are burdened with & yet have the grand audacity to demand more tax obligations while laying yet another financial load on business owners. You concluded “the people in NW Arkansas are willing to pay their bills”.  Madam Editor seems to be saying…shut up, pay the bills, & government will tell what is good for you”. Spending others’ money is easiest job in the world.

 Please, no more Visions!  Citizens are looking for logic and accountability.

Gerrymandering Pandering


Secretary of State Mark Martin                    July 15, 2011
Gerrymandering for the Arkansas Friendship Coalition?  (See letter to Rep. Charlie Collins below)

What you are proposing for Mexicans and OTM’s is unconstitutional and is most certainly not in the purview of the Voting Rights Act.  Blacks for whom the bill was passed were and are natural born American citizens who had been denied voting rights for decades.  It had nothing to do with the Mexican invasions, most particularly the illegal ones.

You are now proposing to gerrymander a district for Mexicans & OTM’s and in all probability more illegals than legals due to the lack of enforcing existing immigration laws, i.e. 8 USC.

Your proposed action is a magnet to draw in thousands more of illegals of all stripes and is racist by any definition.  The premise of the Civil Rights Act 1954 was for acculturation to take place.  You are advocating the opposite.

You are naively being used or you are complicit…which is it?

Joe McCutchen

Representative Charlie Collins                    July 9, 2011
Representative Collins,
I appreciate your response to a somewhat terse communication regarding gerrymandering and a litany of other aspects.
I would be extremely surprised if what you are proposing are your own ideas and positions; therefore I will labor under the assumption that these arguments you put forth can be changed.  If so, I would ask you to meet with those in opposition to your proposal in order to expand your thought processes in areas of which you don’t seem to be aware. I would also request you do some research on our blog arkansasfreedom.net to acquaint yourself with documented evidence concerning the presence of illegals and their use of our welfare systems, as well as governmental enabling, etc….especially our FOI’s.
With that said, I find that you are a Michigander.  A few years back you had a U.S. Senator by the name of Spencer Abraham.  Spence alone was responsible for the ridiculously high number of Muslims and other mideasterners residing in your home state.  I decided that in defense of our republic, I would remove him from office.   Barbara & I ran a campaign, financed largely by us, under the name of Michimpac…..Michigan immigration control PAC.   I spent most of a year in Michigan seeking out small conservative newspapers in which to advertise, flew drag signs over the Mich/Mich State football games & also over the U.P. on holidays while all the corrupt politicians were walking across the bridge.
Barbara & I determined if we could move 8% of the vote…Spence would be defeated…precisely what happened.  Incidentally, we got no help from any of the illegal immigration reform 501 c3’s, e.g. FAIR & NumbersUSA.
May I call you Charlie?  You do have a lot to learn if you are truly not complicit in this effort.  You say you are 100% opposed to illegal immigration….if so, what are you doing about it?  Wal-Mart & Tyson’s have long been in the forefront for open-borders and mass illegal immigration, of which your area is a citadel.  
As in the case of illegal immigration you state you believe in the rule of law and insist we follow all our immigration laws, and you want to be consistent.  I will insert here some of 8 USC:
1.    Section 1324a….hiring, harboring, transporting any illegal alien is a felony punishable by 10 yrs. jail + $2,000 fine per illegal
2.    Section 1324c…ALL OFFICERS whose duty is to enforce criminal laws have the authority to make arrests for any violation of this section
3.    Section 1644…no local ordinance, rule, or measure shall stop law enforcement officers from enforcement of this section
Charlie, you say you believe in the rule of law and upholding immigration law, so………..?  You state we don’t have the option of ignoring the law.  Where are the arrests of the corporate heads of companies hiring illegals?  
Now comes the Voting Rights Act, as you surely know the 1965 Act strictly had to do with Black American Citizens who had been denied voting rights and other significant deficiencies.  What you and your handlers appear to be doing is pursuing the creation of an environment that will precipitate litigation by politicians & power-brokers (Tyson, Wal-Mart, etc) making the illegal Mexican and OTM invasions a civil rights matter hoping to produce amnesty.   Your position has no legal foundation, unless legal Hispanics have been denied the vote, otherwise it is an affront to legal American citizens.
 Nowhere in America and specifically NW Arkansas have American citizens with Mexican lineage been denied the vote, but if you think illegal aliens are not voting, you are exhibiting a substantial degree of naiveté. Methinks your Yankee heritage is at play here, in some manner.  Your attempt to gerrymander a district does 2 things.
1.    It increases the magnet exponentially to attract more illegal Mexicans and OTM’s into our republic and our state…all defying 8 USC.
2.    Bringing attention to a gerrymandered district exacerbates the crimes being committed by the invaders, their employers & the governments which overlook standing law. This is textbook example of racist behavior.   You are pursuing the creation of a national subset which is resulting in another welfare class, and at the same time you have taken the racial bait—fear of discussions on race, while your own proposition is racial, i.e. ethnic gerrymandering.
How can you expect to have a cohesive society when you constantly refer to Mexicans & OTM’s as hyphenated Americans?  Why not Americans?  Nationally this is done purely on purpose.  You are either American or you are not.   Note, immigrants legal & illegal bring their failed cultures & philosophies to our shores and keep them in play resulting in no acculturation, accompanied by no understanding of our Constitution and what it demands.
So you see Charlie, western civilization is being erased and replaced by 3rd world uneducated, poverty-ridden, individuals who in the main smell the red meat, the unearned largesse. Are you not aware that Bear-Stearns ran an exhaustive study in 2005 that demonstrated there were at least 20 million illegals in our country and could go as high as 25 million…most with their hands out?  While displacing millions of middleclass Americans in job descriptions & lowering our quality of living. We once had Ellis Island for very rational reasons. Hispanic reproductive habits are extreme to say the least. Charlie, this will probably shock you but we are trading down, they & the government by not enforcing existing laws are destroying our schools, crime rates soar, diseases reintroduced, gang activity, every form of welfare, etc. Is this really what you want for your children?
Are you aware that former Gov. Mike Huckabee pushed through a bill in 2005 which gives illegal women free prenatal care, all ancillary services, not available to American women, producing Anchor Babies who are eligible for welfare til 21 & may import their immediate family from the mother country?   In 2009 I filed an FOIA and there were already 6,000 illegal women who had delivered Anchor Babies.  Are you aware that Latinos make up 42% of all WIC recipients, nutrition assistance to Women, Infants & Children?
Charlie, you can’t discuss the Hispanic invasion without determining legal vs. illegal, and corrupt politicians have made, in spite of 8 USC, it impossible to determine who is legal & who is illegal.  FOIA’s to the various commissions are received as a joke and answered with untruths, like “we don’t keep those kinds of records”.  You would be better served, as would be the state & nation, if you would immediately rethink your self-serving, topical position.  The stakes are too high to continue treating Hispanics as an endangered species. It would be admirable if you would engage in conversations on the matter with folks who are not economically & politically involved.
One final thought, we are not a nation of immigrants, we are a nation with immigrants.  Absent a founding group or majority, it would be no nation at all, but a random gathering of people of assorted races, religions, and nationalities, united only by their presence in the same land. No native culture to provide national unity with the population fragmenting on racial & ethnic lines insuring division and strife.  Have we as a nation reached this point and is this what you want?
Maybe you will pursue this issue in a more thorough manner.  As a country, we are on a nosedive to the abyss.
In the case of Mexicans and other Hispanics, you cannot separate legal from illegal in NW Arkansas until 8 USC and its subsections are enforced.
Kindest regards,
Joe McCutchen

Stimulus=vote-buying + Murder


Stimulus—Vote Buying, Murder & 4 Complicit Buffoons from Arkansas        July 10, 2011

First, the Stimulus.  December 2010, President Barack Hussein Obama awarded the state of Arkansas $90 million printed out of thin air.  This was known as a “stimulus package” to be awarded to the failed government school system, formerly known as the public education system, i.e. to teachers and ancillary personnel.

The question remains, what did the $90 million stimulate?  The “stimulus” was awarded to teachers and other school personnel on the last school day in June, 2011, up to $800 each.

The Fort Smith, Arkansas school district claimed they were entitled to $2,646,072.  Entitlement can be defined as the mindset of welfare recipients, which teachers and all government employees have.
This award was nothing more than a raw vote-buying scheme by Obama and the Democrats, and in all fairness the Republicans aided and abetted.   Teachers are Takers not Makers and in their professional endeavors are failures.

This is why Makers got no thank-you cards or even a hug from the teachers and their unions.

On to Pres. Obama and Arkansas’ 4 self-serving buffoons.  They would be Congressmen Ross, Womack, Griffin, & Crawford.  These are the 4 who voted to continue the unconstitutional & criminal Patriot Acts which negate at least 3 of our Bill of Rights.

Sometime in March, 2011 Pres. Obama, unilaterally committed murder by sending explosive projectiles into Libya. Those missiles don’t know a combatant from an innocent. Libya had done nothing to harm the U.S. and 2 months before Obama’s murdering spree the U. S. was subsidizing Libya with several millions per year.  If your philosophy is to murder and assassinate anyone you don’t like then we have surely lost our course and that is certainly the case of the USA today. 

The question then becomes, who are the biggest murderers & destructors?  The United States gets my vote.

Arkansas’ 4 congressmen never uttered a public word regarding the murders Obama was committing, therefore the only conclusion to be reached is they were and are complicit in murder.   Two days ago the 4 voted to fund the Libyan massacre.

As you may or may not recall, at the outset of this murdering spree, Obama claimed this exercise would only last days, not weeks.   It is now over 3 months. A Hit has been placed on Gaddafi and Obama’s war parties (Dems & Repubs) are now talking YEARS.  Is this the mark of a civilized nation?

Aside from their criminal activities, where is the money coming from to fund this debacle of murder & destruction?
Finally, not one word from these 4 legislative zeros on what their position is regarding a balanced budget amendment and freezing the debt ceiling.

Are Arkies simpletons enough to vote for these 4 buffoons again?  Probably yes.   Still joined-at-the-hip with the corrupt Democrat/Republican Party…since they are really just one Party.  Note, Boehner/Obama’s comedy routine regarding our $14 Trillion Debt.   Major General Smedley Butler said it best, “War is a Racket”, and indeed government is a racket.

Gerrymandering for illegals?


Gerrymandering for legal & illegal Mexicans—creating a Hispanic majority district in NW Arkansas

A standing O for Obamacare??


Standing ovation Greets Congressman Mike Ross…….Why?                July 2, 2011

Is the fix in?  Or was it unadulterated ignorance? 

A record crowd of 200 greeted Ross with a standing ovation at the Chamber of Commerce’s monthly breakfast in Fort Smith, AR.    What does that tell you about the audience?

The down-home cracker-boy began his spiel with “Ya’ll sit down, it’s just Mike and I work for ya’ll”.  Congressman spare us the cornpone.  Continuing on, the Congressman patted himself on the back time and again for what he deems “accomplishments”—none legislatively, just relationships he was and is stroking for campaign funds, e.g. he stated The Washington Post listed him the 4th most conservative Democrat in congress. (There’s nothing conservative about any Democrat)  He says he chairs the Blue-Dogs, is endorsed by the National Rifle Assoc. & has received numerous awards from the U.S. Chamber of Congress and the National Association of Manufacturers.  He also brags that out of the 84 congressional Democrats in the last election, he was one of 17 left standing and he won with 18 points.

Still no legislative accomplishments and certainly none that undergird the Constitution and middleclass Americans.  Ross is anything but “Conservative”…he has continually voted large subsidies for agriculture, criminal wars, all forms of welfare, has always voted for the unconstitutional criminal Patriot Acts, the Military Tribunal Commissions Act, the nullification of Habeas Corpus, has refused to take a position on the illegal Mexican and OTM invasions…he is one of the 435 congressmen that has placed our former envied Republic in financial, moral, and constitutional jeopardy.  If you do not understand what the Acts destroy, do the research! 

Now comes the bombshell, compliments of Congressman Mike Ross.  Ross is the sole reason this nation is entering nationalized healthcare replete with rationing and economic burdens we cannot afford.  (Obamacare)  Ross was the single vote that allowed Obamacare to get out of committee.  For his sellout vote he was awarded $175 million to play with in his district to buy votes.   And this man deserves a standing ovation?

Certainly the Chambers of Commerce gives him awards.  The Chambers of Commerce are morally and constitutionally bankrupt and are one of The guiding lights in pursuing the continuation of open-borders, cheap Mexican labor, i.e. exploitation of middleclass taxpayers and the illegals themselves and amnesty.   For those of you who are worshiping at the NRA altar, you too are being played as fools.

Ross’ concluding statement in this ill-grounded celebration demonstrates that he has no intention of voting to freeze the Debt-Ceiling and certainly does not support a Balanced-Budget Amendment.

Here is what he said regarding the aforementioned funding, a nonsensical statement to be sure, but tells you all you need to know about his view of government spending.   “Raising the Debt Limit is not the same thing as approving spending”.  Is he so Non compos mentis that he actually believes that?

That statement is a vivid example of Ross’ mentality and why the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette awarded him with the honor of the “Worst Legislator” when he was in the Arkansas Legislature”.

And who are the real buffoons and sellouts?

More Collectivist Visions


More faux Visions from government Visionaries            July 1, 2011

Much like the debilitated Civic Center, UAFS Chancellor Paul Beran and cronies are now in the business dedicated to breathe new life into the failed “Entrepreneurship Center”.

The story appeared in the Times Record, Thursday June 30, 2011, accompanied by the normal amount of bureaucratic jargon, e.g. Beran has “hopes of creating synergy with other outreach offices”.  Beran went on to say “people with good ideas but no college education are uncomfortable going to campus for help” ….more about this statement in a sec.    Beran asked his cronies to focus on 3 primary questions:

1.    What is community looking for from the I.E.C.?   No definition of I.E.C. but it is the Entrepreneur Center. None.
2-3.  What kind of support is there in the community for the IEC and what do you want from the IEC? None.

It turns out that the Blue Ribbon Commission on Entrepreneurs is Craig Rivaldo, president of a local Arvest Bank; Jim Partridge, president of a Bancorp South & Chairman of the F.S. Regional Chamber of Commerce (the outfit that champions open borders & cheap illegal alien labor).   Followed by Ivey Owen, Director of Fort Chaffee Redevelopment Authority, Ray Gosack, City Administrator and of course, Beran.

This embryonic program is all about expansion (UAFS), funding, and government indoctrination.   None of Beran’s cronies, nor himself, have ever created nor sustained a job…they are all Takers, not Makers (entrepreneurs)
Government does not and cannot create entrepreneurs.   Entrepreneurs are born with the innate belief that they will own a business or businesses and it begins at a very early age.  Entrepreneurs are willing to cast their lot on their own ambitions—no “angel fund”, they are bankrolled by a persistent toughness, desire, no course deviation, and the excitement coupled with their gambling spirit.  If the aforementioned bureaucrats had these qualities they would not be working for or influenced by government. Government’s goal is to impart a doctrinaire socialist manifesto, i.e. “Public-Private-Partnerships”.

On the flip side, what kinds of individuals seek bureaucratic-type advice on starting or maintaining a business?  Those looking for a free handout…those looking for something for nothing…unearned largesse. Entreprenuers are Makers, not Takers.  Why would a rational person based in fairness want to take money forced from producers? The Moochers, socialists, collectivists, opportunists, those seeking unearned respect and/or largesse are happy to Take it.

True entrepreneurs will make their own way, and the taxpayer carrot of subsidizing them will not play. Do you know of any government success stories?…of course not.

Joe & Barbara McCutchen

P.S. Isn’t Beran the same guy who wants to get funding for the old Mallalieu Church to form an academy for “at risk” students?  Back in the day, “at risk” meant town toughs, thugs, slugs, ne’er-do-wells, and now, illegal alien gang-bangers.  Today, only the description has changed.

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose, By any other name would smell as sweet”  (Shakespeare)

The point is the insidious nature of the Collectivist attack on individual rights to property, to privacy, to travel, to choose occupations, to keep one’s earnings, assumes many deceptively noble sounding names, but all have the same ultimate goals…skinning the taxpayers to increase the wealth of the instigators, to control the masses as they see fit and to erase the basic tenants of individualism.
These programs/schemes are always presented and pursued by the “leaders” of the communities in which they are found.   The “leaders” sometimes know why and what they are doing—either in it for the money or the power, and sometimes “leaders” ignorantly go along with the “Emperor’s New Clothes” presentation in order not to appear stupid or against progress.

The results are the same if the programs are implemented.  More losses of individual freedom, property, earnings, and the enlightenment concepts upon which they are based.

Locally, we’ve heard a lot of talk about “Quality of Place”, “New Market Credits”, and a 300 acre parcel at Chaffee Crossing being eyed for a “New Urbanist Community” ironically named Providence.

Some reasons for the success and proliferation of these taxpayer funded programs are;
1.    Certain community/town/city’s Movers & Shakers can smell an opportunity to siphon money light-years away.  They have the connections already to cash-in or they hire consultants or attend seminars to learn the ropes.  The Movers may or may not be concerned with Collectivist ideology behind such programs (either don’t care, or like & approve the concepts)
2.    Certain officials are too naïve or lazy to be able to intelligently fulfill their obligations to the citizenry.
3.    The working middleclass & poor are often either too tied up in survival and family, or they are lazy with self-imposed ignorance, often in denial that leaders might & do betray.
4.    The media is smitten with the leaders and fail to do their complete job of delving & reporting, especially if the subject matter leans to the left.
5.    The community agencies cover for one another and for the “leaders”.
6.    Fear of being called a selfish “Aginner” (someone who often opposes pet projects)
7.    Spending someone else’s money is the easiest job in the whole world.

This subject is too vast to cover in this article, but those interested can easily do some research.  There is a ton of information on the internet. Recommended sites are: www.learn-usa.com. americanpolicy.org/.  www.channelingreality.com   The original Agenda 21 was written by a Communist for the U.N.  The ultimate goal is global governance to be achieved by erasing borders; controlling populations, preferably in self-contained units; increasing militarization of government agencies (locally note the police department’s recent purchase of SUV’s & 100 new AR 15’s), education by indoctrination, e.g. “No Child Left Behind” which reduces all to the lowest common denominator (thinking, independent, freedom-loving folks need not apply), and cradle to grave manipulation of “human resources”.  Incidentally, rational, independent, self-reliant individuals highly resent and resist being considered a “Human Resource”.

Agenda 21 and its bastard babies represent vicious, successful weapons in the arsenal of Collectivism vs Individualism.  Plato (Collectivism) vs. Aristotle (Individualism) are still battling it out after all these centuries.  Man’s life belongs to the community/state/nation vs. man’s life belongs to himself.  It takes a village vs. it takes individual responsibility.  It’s hatred of the good vs. love of individual achievement.  It’s envy vs. merit.  It’s parasitism vs. effort/work/pride. It’s subservience coupled with power-mongering vs. individual life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness.

Hopefully it is not too late, but reality paints a dismal picture for human liberty once more on this planet. The Siren Song of Something for Nothing & Forced Redistribution is stronger than the Enlightenment Philosophies which guided our Founders.  Knowledge and the thirst for knowledge languishes on the barren plain of a planned intellectual famine.

Knowledge and those who impart and fight for it are our only hopes.  Without which we enter the new Dark Ages which has already condoned torture, imprisonment without due process, locks on freedom of speech & all the rest of our Constitutional liberties, endless wars, jobs outsourced & stolen, 3rd World invasions by the millions…all producing an equally miserable standard of living, except for the elite of course.

Our only choice is to FIGHT against the return of histories’ reigns of terror & control, and Agenda 21 & the bevy of bastard babies is one good place to draw the line in the sand, but it requires an informed citizenry.

The Great Facilitators–illegal immigration


The Great Facilitators                        June 21, 2011

Although it was the Cultural Marxists (Communists) who engineered their “March through the Institutions” (infiltration of major institutions, e.g. education, media, entertainment, banking, politics, etc.) in order to achieve their goal of destroying Western civilization in the on-going Collectivism vs. Individualism battle, the Marxist destroyers are facilitated greatly by the welfare state mentality and by corporate exploiters.

Facilitator #1….Takers–The “something for nothing” entitlement Taker crowd is nearly the majority now. Most of them reject self-reliance in favor of the forced redistribution of wealth….”for the children—the needy—the oppressed”, etc.  Perhaps not exclusively, but count up all the people receiving a government check of some sort, whether for a job or a handout, particularly including literally millions of illegal aliens and you can guess how many will most likely vote (yes, illegals do vote) for more largesse, mostly Democrats but certainly not limited to.  These people have a vested interest in the continuation and expansion of government programs.  Also included are politicians and bureaucrats of course
.
Most of them, particularly illegal aliens, have no interest in our history, our Founders, our Constitution or Declaration of Independence, individual rights, or the rule of law; in fact many are hostile to our Founding Principles which are based on individual responsibility, merit, and justice—qualities the takers think “unfair” or “mean-spirited” or “racist”.  (There is nothing just about affirmative action, set-asides, or quotas)

Facilitator #2…..Corporate Exploiters…those who willingly hire, transport, aid & abet illegal alien cheap labor in the interest of their bottom line. Often, the Corporate Exploiters are “pillars of the community” and tax-exempt donors to noble causes, but not only are the aliens’ wages suppressed by them; thereby causing the suppression of citizen wages, but the companies save a bundle by not offering benefits, thereby making the aliens wards of the taxpayers for their education, healthcare including free prenatal, food stamps, WIC,  Arkids 1st , & myriads of other handouts, English As a Second Language, translator services, government program information printed in foreign languages, law enforcement & penal costs, infrastructure use & abuse, neighborhood debasement, criminal gangs, unchecked diseases, in-state tuition, all of which encourages the illegals refusal to acculturate and their hostility for the host nation. A phenomenon seen all over the Western world, not just the U.S
.
The business exploiters obviously have no problem with what they are doing to our culture, rule of law, sovereignty, and heritage.  They should blame the welfare system for destroying their workforce and work to dismantle it, but they have become a part of the irrational system and helped form an insidious protection racket involving businesses, government entities, churches, anti-American organizations, etc. which fiercely circle against the taxpaying, law-abiding citizenry creating what is essentially a war on the middleclass and lower income honest folks.  In essence, the illegal aliens in this obscene scenario are protected as if they were an endangered species and the taxpaying citizen who objects is the enemy to be slandered and smeared with racist epitaphs. Politically Correct tactics in its vile playbook.

#1 is a magnet in that the illegals attract foreign family members, friends & neighbors from their homeland and become a base of operations for those who illegally invade and also an important source of information on how and where to work the system.  Their “anchor babies”, instant citizens, are able to bring in immediate family and are qualified to be on welfare until 21 yrs of age.  As their numbers grow so does their boldness in flouting the law and making more & more demands, especially since the immigration laws (8 USC) are not being enforced.
#2 is a magnet in that they provide wages (part of which will be sent back “home” to buoy up that economy as it drains ours) which the aliens cannot get in their places of origin (mostly Mexico) coupled with their foreign government corruption & crime which makes life unbearable. The supreme irony is that they are bringing into the U.S.  the same kind of law-breaking corruption of the country from which they escaped…identity theft, gangs, plus unchecked & unsponsored illiterates, utter disregard for laws and culture.  The biggest part of the irony is the fierce loyalty the illgals feel to their countries and their hostility toward the U.S. which provides them immense largesse.
Some examples to consider:
In our state of Arkansas, two Poultry Baron Scions passed away recently.  Both were honored and eulogized profusely with full page newspaper ads.  Both had donated to causes in large amounts.  However both were responsible for exploiting illegal alien laborers in huge numbers.  Both strapped the taxpayers with all the illegals’ expenses.  Law enforcement and the judicial system protected them both, even though lawlessness follows and surrounds the illegals presence and innocent taxpaying citizens not only lose jobs to them but are forced to subsidize them and are victims of their numerous crimes.  Government at all levels is packed with accomplices…either complicit or out of fear.

Also in our state there is an organization of an interesting array of entities…Wealthy corporations, churches, anti-American organizations—both American & Hispanic (e.g. ACLU, ACORN, LULAC, Chambers of Commerce), Publications, etc.  See  www.arfriendshipcoalition.org/index.cfm  for a listing.  This organization is dedicated to protecting illegal immigration and open-borders, and it is easy to see why.
 
Locally, at least one company threw lavish 2-3 day picnics for their illegal workers utilizing our taxpayer county park (citizens were barred from entering), guarded by the taxpayers’ Sheriff’s department utilizing numerous personnel and equipment for the reported bargain price of $1,000 total.  In response to an FOI request asking for a breakdown (costs & time) of the use of the sheriff’s department their spokesman stated “they didn’t keep those kinds of records”.  Imagine that, a whole law enforcement agency has no idea where or what their equipment and/or personnel are doing!  Wonder how they know what the paychecks should be.  Shameful protection racket?  Yet another giant magnet.

Exaggeration? Let’s examine federal law 8 USC briefly to put these actions into perspective. 

1.    8 USC, Sec. 1324a… Hiring-Harboring-Transporting any illegal alien knowingly is a felony, punishable by 10 yrs in jail + $2,000 fine per illegal + forfeiture of vehicle or property used to commit the crime.
2.    8 USC, Sec.1324c….All officers whose duty it is to enforce criminal laws shall have authority to make arrests for violation of any provision of this section.
3.    8 USC, Sec. 1325…Any alien who enters U.S. other than port of entry by false representation shall be subject to civil and criminal penalties and can be fined and imprisoned.
4.    Section 1644…No local ordinance, rule or measure shall stop law enforcement officers from enforcement of this section.  
5.    Title 19, USC, 1459, Section (f) …any individual who violates any provision of subsection (e), is liable for a civil penalty of $5,000 for first violation and $10,000 for each subsequent violation.
6.    (g) In addition to being liable, upon conviction is liable for a fine of $5,000 or imprisonment for not more than 1 year each, or both.

There is much more in these laws, but as anyone can see, the hiring of thousands of illegals would mean hundreds of thousands in fines and many years in prison…if the laws were upheld.  What happened to the rule of law, not men?

It was recently reported that in our small town there resides at least 17 different ethnic-type gangs.  Public shootings & stabbings are on the rise.  Would they be here without the facilitators?  Not likely.    
This is a lose, lose situation in the long run for all who would have a civilized, law-based, enlightened, free society.  The Cultural Marxist strategy of Political Correctness has won the day through intimidation and projected guilt, and the facilitator accomplices are cashing in as fast as they can…the “pillars of society” are stuffing their pockets as they smash the last vestige of the Founders Dream.
