The genocidal government bulldozer

The genocidal government bulldozer                                       March 7,
2010

 

Politicians, bureaucrats,
& the rest of the government establishment—are you arrogant, ignorant,
stupid, opportunists, or just buffoons?

 

 A case can be made for all of the above.

 

The responsibility for all
the above rests with foolish voters not paying attention and purposely academically
challenged, compliments of the government school system, formerly known as
public schools, the one that teaches our kids to cheat, i.e. grade inflation
instigated by administrators instructing the teachers to ease up on course work,
in addition to a boatload of citizen naïveté.

 

The whole of the U.S. is in
Intensive Care, no evidence to support recovery from its economic depression—no,
not recession.

 

Thousands of Arkansas
citizens have lost or are losing their jobs, struggling to hold the family unit
together, many holding down multiple jobs, while so-called “public servants”
squander and steal taxpayer dollars cavalierly in multiple nefarious ways.

 

One monumental concern:
elective officials and government employees being awarded pay raises, especially
in times of economic crisis, when in reality government should be reduced
across the board by at least 50%. (Most are nonessential and unconstitutional)The
audacity of those with government involvements now giving and getting raises
and benefits, while stealing from the producers who generate the funds
necessary to keep the criminal government behemoth afloat.

 

The above raises, in conjunction
with government unions, i.e. teachers, postal, etc. juxtaposed with non-elective
boards, commissions, fact-finders, etc. all unduly influence unconstitutional
legislation, rules, and regulations on all fronts.  Government unions and commissions must be abolished.  Elected officials should be doing any
legitimate work done by commissions to assure oversight.  There could be some exceptions.

 

Example: The Fort Smith city
government awarded a 2.5 % pay raise to its bloated workforce, while
campaigning for new taxes and city government expansion via federal programs
implemented by the American & City Planning Commission.  There are hundreds of these type commissions
with nebulous sounding names that are dedicated to stealing citizens’ rights
and properties.  â€œQuality of Place” is
just one example that the Fort Smith city government has embarked upon.
Planning Commissions are unelected, hugely powerful, feed off taxpayer money, virtually
no oversight and are embarked upon a goal to destroy sovereignty, all under the
aegis of Agenda 21, the umbrella for all the nice sounding “Green City Compacts”,
the most common one, “Sustainable Development”.

 

The above are examples of
political/bureaucratic arrogance, ignorance, stupidity, opportunism and/or buffoonery:

 

Crawford County: hiring new
employees on the say so of some judge campaigning for reelection while giving
raises to 10 county employees. Obscene. 

 

 The 70 Percenter, Governor Mike Beebe (alleged
70% approval rating) has hired (vote buying?) over 2,500 new government slugs
during his gubernatorial term (2 ½ yrs).

 

Turn attention to the Arkansas
state legislature. 18 state representatives and 2 state senators spent in excess
of $1 million on frivolous trips, many outright vacations, 9 of the 20 have
government employment backgrounds…can you say government schools?  All told the state’s 135 legislators collected
a grand total of $5.4 million in travel expenses and extras in 2009.  These numbers  keep skyrocketing year after year.

 

Examples of parasitic
arrogance include House Education Committee Chairman, Bill Abernathy (D. Mena),
a retired school teacher. He logged in at $56,592 in 2009 while complaining “in
the end it’s not that financially rewarding to serve”. 

 

The biggest parasite of all
is Senator Jimmy Jeffress (D. Crossett), a retired school teacher. Jeffress
spent $60,092 in 2009.  Jeffress stated “he’s
never really checked whether it would be cheaper for him to fly or drive his
vehicle”.  “What if I did check it out to
see, I’m still going to drive, no matter what”.


Jeffress also said “I would like for my wife to go with me and we take some of
our grandchildren with us because they have these wonderful programs”.

 

Brother Senator Gene Jeffress
(D. Louann), a retired school teacher, was number 7 on the dirty 20 list.  Sen. Gene blew $53,949 on travel.

 

The dirty 20 should write a
new “Gulliver’s Travels” book.  The lack
of integrity or remorse is stunning.

 

Now to the biggest criminal
enterprise, the already alluded to government school system .  Comes word from Superintendent Benny Gooden
that Fort Smith needs a new high school. 
Gooden declares “since 2001 there has been a 150 student per year
increase”.  No word on the demographics,
i.e. who are these students?  Can it not
be concluded that third world Mexicans and other Hispanics make up the vast
majority of Gooden’s projections, if so, why aren’t they deported?  As you may recall, Gooden made the statement
some years ago “we’ll take all we can get”, referring to illegals and children
of illegals; conclusion, more government expansion, i.e. more money.  Observe the social, educational,
correctional, health, and economic mess, including proliferation of gangs and
the drug culture

 

The 150 student per year
proliferation appears to be an out of control illegal immigration invasion,
coupled with corrupt elected and appointed officials.

 

Inquire of elected officials
why they are awarding pay raises to government types and personally enriching
themselves.  It will indeed be interesting
to see if the Fort Smith school board awards Superintendent Gooden with another
obscene salary increase, if so it would be even more interesting to hear their
explanation.

 

Example of the top-down
destruction of our republic by all governments is the treatment of the citizen
Tea Party movement, i.e. disregarded, vilified, exploited, and co-opted.   Case in point, Grover Norquist, the darling
of “conservatives”, on the board of CPAC is actively campaigning for amnesty
for 25-35 million illegal Mexicans & OTM’s, accompanied by another counterfeit
“conservative” Senator Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.).

 

The government genocidal
bulldozer churns on, unabated.

U of Ark “partners” with illegal Mexicans

Mexican Consulate, UAMS Team up for Public Health Project

Reported by: KARK 4 News

Tuesday, Feb 23, 2010 @07:00am

 

The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Fay W. Boozman
College of Public Health and the Mexican Consulate in Little Rock will announce
a partnership today to bring better public health initiatives and educational
programs to Mexicans living in Arkansas.

Speakers for the 10:00 a.m. event at UAMS will include Andres Chao, Consul of
Mexico; Jim Raczynski, Ph.D., dean of the College of Public Health; and UAMS
Chancellor Dan Rahn.

The UAMS College of Public Health and the Mexican Consulate established the
Ventanillas de Salud, or Health Window Program, earlier this year with an
$80,961 grant awarded by the Blue & You Foundation for a Healthier Arkansas
in December 2009.

The Mexican government wants to ensure the partnership with UAMS is extended to
provide health information and screenings to Mexicans living in Arkansas.

 

 

 

Who is steering the pathetic ship of state known as
Arkansas?  The 70 Percenter Beebe, the feckless legislature, Boobus
Arkanicus, or Mexico? 

 

Here is that word “partnership” that politicians and bureaucrats
use to make fools of taxpaying citizens, government being the CEO and the
producing citizens paying the bills.

 

The above 4 paragraph rant has any number of constitutional
violations, likewise violations of existing laws. (8 USC & subsections)

 

The Mexican Consulate is here in violation of Article I, Section
10 of the U.S. Constitution, compliments of former Gov. Mike Huckabee and the
feckless legislature.

 

At the end of this news release Mexico is demanding unending
numbers of services for the hundreds of thousands of illegals in
Arkansas.  This in addition to the numerous mandated and non-mandated
benefits flowing to illegal aliens, with Arkansas state employees dancing to
their attention.

 

Beebe is perfectly content in allowing the Mexican hordes to
overrun the citizens of the state.  Beebe deflects criticism by hunkering
down and declaring “it’s the job of the feds”.  Gov. Beebe….that is a
bald-faced lie.  Every state is sovereign and has the constitutional duty
to secure its borders.

 

By the way Governor, can you and the likes of the Jeffress
brothers and the antique dealer from Jonesboro Ray Kidd, and a multitude of
others, tell your constituents how many children (promptly becoming Anchor
Babies, i.e. American citizens) have been born to illegal Mexican women and
OTM’s since the inception of the bill passed by the fools in the legislature,
the former Gov. Huckabee and you as Attorney General.  Anchor babies can
receive welfare until age 21 and can bring in their immediate families. 
All paid for by taxpayers.

 

In the final analysis we have only ourselves to blame, Boobus
Arkanicus for electing parasitic, unethical people to important positions for
decades.

Illegal immigration facts, State government offenses

A LIKELY ILLEGAL ALIEN TRUMPS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN IN RECEIVING A LIQUOR LICENSE

28 Comments


January 25, 2010

 

Open letter to the Arkansas
Beverage Control Board

 

Are the Constitution,
federal and state laws being corrupted by politicians, bureaucrats and other
appointed and/or hired “officials” through stupidity, ignorance, criminal
activity or buy-outs?

 

Witness the story appearing
in the Fort Smith Times Record 1/21/10 titled “Alcohol permits awarded.”  The principal in this piece was one Maria L.
Diaz De Leon who was awarded an Arkansas state liquor license by the Arkansas
Beverage Control Board (ABC).

 

Examine the facts as the
Times Record presents them: Fort Smith detective Cody Elliott uncovered a
dearth of evidence suggesting that Maria De Leon was not legally worthy to
receive a liquor license.  The ABC had
the negative information in hand regarding De Leon.  ABC Director Langley voted to deny De Leon a
liquor permit, but he was overridden by Board member Ron Fuller’s comments and
vote and the rest of the board was swayed by his politically correct rhetoric.  Fuller’s comments: “the language barrier may
have caused some confusion during the interview,” and “I think we should give
people new to our country perhaps an opportunity to show they can be very
successful and to show that they are genuine part of American society.”

 

The Fort Smith Detective’s
investigation revealed the following:  De
Leon had been cited for traffic violations and was reportedly once arrested in
Texas on suspicion of smuggling and harboring illegal immigrants (a felony
under federal law 8 USC, but law enforcement rarely ever pursues charges against
illegals).  Furthermore she lied through
a translator saying she’d never been cited or arrested.

 

It certainly appears obvious
to me this woman is an illegal alien, unable to speak English (a requirement
for naturalized citizens), a suspected illegal smuggler, an unsafe driver, and
a liar.  To top it off she has the
audacity to name her club “El Coyote.” 
Coyote is the common name used to describe Mexican human
traffickers. 

 

In my opinion, a majority
of the ABC Board, and in particular Ron Fuller, can only be described as
criminally contemptible and grossly incompetent. Fuller’s statement saying that
De Leon is a “genuine part of American society” is blasphemous to the rule of
law and legitimate citizenship.

 

As a citizen of the U.S.
and Arkansas, I demand this license be cancelled immediately and if not so,
action be taken against the ABC to prevent it from issuing licenses to persons
who are not lawfully present in Arkansas. 
What’s more the woman should be arrested, punished and deported if, in
fact, she is not here legally.

 

This woman appears to be potentially
guilty of at least two criminal acts—invading our country illegally and
trafficking in human beings, while lying about receiving numerous traffic
citations, which poses the question … did she have any insurance?  Meanwhile the Sebastian County Sheriff, ICE, and
the FBI refuse to enforce 8 USC Sections 1324(a), 1324(c), & 1644.

 

The Club El Coyote will no
doubt be a conduit for more illegals. 
It’s a shame that the American citizen who applied for a license at the
Season’s Inn was rejected for minor citations 20 years ago—American justice?

LTE Gov. Beebe 70% approval…WHY??

106 Comments


 70 percenter Beebe only
flourishes through ignorance or complicity.

What’s Governor Beebe’s position on socialized
medicine?  He famously hides in the back
room and plots his mendacity, staying publicly neutral re issues of no concern,
waiting for the wind.  Issues of concern,
sequestering legislators one by one instructing and bullying how to enable
legislation.

As a tax raiser, in times of a depression, he continues to
“stick it” to producers.  Arkansans
struggling to maintain a reasonable life style and in-your-face Beebe adds
1,254 new government employees (vote buying) his first full year, continues to
hire and avows, “no state layoffs”.  State employees should receive no raises and
25% should be terminated.

The Committee on Highway Finance recommended shifting $425
million annually from the General Fund, Beebe declined, protecting his oasis of
waste and corruption, and demanding two more new tax increases. 

Beebe has cut $206 million from this year’s budget.  State government bloated, absorbing  $206 million budget cuts, raises the question,
how much more fat could be cut?

Only government continues to receive funding while failing,
e.g.  government schools. Since 2005
Arkansas taxpayers have shelled-out over $1 Billion in new spending for the
failed institution, while educators cook the grades. 

Beebe champions illegal immigration, never mentioning the
tens of thousands of illegal Mexicans receiving free prenatal care and related
services while producing anchor babies.

The 70 percenter admited to being a thief when he said, “would
I like to expand Arkids, you bet!” Beebe shares Obama’s philosophy—forced redistribution.

“Double-Dipping” & Aiding illegal aliens

Leave a comment


 

                                                                                                                                August
21, 2009

 

What do Alma Superintendent Charles Dyer and FBI Agent
Thomas Browne have in common? Savaging Arkansas taxpayers.

In the case of Dyer, ethics are scarce.  Deputy Superintendent David Woolly, Assistant
Superintendent Ronnie Newman, and counselor Ollie Scroggins, retiring and
drawing their retirement benefits were rehired and will collect a full salary
plus their pensions compliments of the state legislature—“Double-Dipping”.

Dyer could have hired non-retired educators looking for
jobs.  He chose to hire these three–why?
 Dyer makes another profound statement “We
always have more applicants than we can hire”. 
He then says “there were no other applicants for the three positions”,
so which is it? Smelly.  Alma has at
least three Deputy Superintendents—why? Government schools are long on
financing and short on academics.

Has Agent Browne forgotten his sworn obligations? Browne, in
league with Mexican Consul Andres Chao, spoke at a seminar dealing with
Hispanic crime.  The seminar dealt
specifically with human trafficking by illegal Hispanics in the state.  Browne stated that “education, awareness and trust,
in terms of people (illegal aliens) who are in these particular situations are
afraid to come to law enforcement”.  They
might think “Okay, if I (illegal alien) go to law enforcement, I’m going to be
booted out of the country”.  Agent Browne,
isn’t that the law and what you are hired to do?  Boot!

The Mexican Consulate was brought to Little Rock by former
Gov. Mike Huckabee in defiance of Article I, Section X of the U.S.
Constitution.  The Mexican Consulate
serves as a magnet for illegals and Chao says “to protect their rights”—what rights?

Browne, you’re flouting the law…8 USC and Article IV,
Section IV…making fools of taxpaying citizens. 
Is the FBI collaborating with the Mexican government regarding the
illegal Mexican invasion?  Making excuses
is “aiding and abetting”.

More double-dipping corruption

92 Comments

Are there multiple layers in the Double-Dipping scam, i.e. Crime
subsidized by the producers?

 The 2009 Arkansas
Legislature composed of 135 senators and representatives contained at least 38
employees or former employees of government.  
Some others did not identify their employment or former employment.

Public school teachers are on yearly contracts ranging from
188 to 217 days.  Typically, citizens
understand that the teaching profession is a 9 month job. A topical examination
of the Arkansas legislature indicates there are a number of practicing school
teachers and college professors in the legislative mix.

Questions arise; are teachers and professors being paid
while absent 3-4 months allegedly conducting the people’s business? They are
absent from the classroom almost half of their contractual obligations.  Why are they needed?  There are other layers of government
employees who fit the above description. 

Only in government can such disgusting and unprincipled
conduct be rewarded. 

The convoluted schemes to enhance government retirement and
other benefits would take days of research to unravel.  Recent legislation to increase bureaucrats and
politician’s retirements came from Gene Jeffress, a former teacher—Act 743.     

Doesn’t anyone determine if politicians and bureaucrats
serving in the General Assembly are double-dipping?  Equally disgusting, in addition to their 4
month absence, are the untold required meetings throughout the year.

 There are inordinate
numbers of government employees in the legislature? Their major thrust appears
to be—expanding government, increasing taxes, and feathering their nests.  Government can only be described as a culture
of corruption.

The protection racket reigns supreme…part 3

The ProtectionRacket Reigns Supreme                                                July 28, 2009

Reported in Arkansas papers today we find a perfect exampleof the arrogance, malfeasance, misfeasance, and outright criminality permeatingArkansas state government.  The lack ofmorals, ethics, honesty & conscience is breathtaking.

Many government employees are “double dipping”.  They are above the rules set for us meremortals.  They not only are “retiring” inorder to receive retirement pay but continuing in their positions in order tosteal their usual paychecks.

What is even more stunning is that the rapacious harpies inthe legislature passed bills that made it possible for the slugs to steal fromthe taxpayers with impunity.  Now the “officials”are making pitiful excuses for such crooked, rotten behavior.

Gov. Beebe “This was a way to retain them and not give theman incentive to just go away”. PREPOSTEROUS!   He also said hehopes to determine if officials misunderstood the law or deliberately abused it”IMBECILIC! 

Gail Stone, Executive Director of APERS (Retirement agency)said she didn’t have the authority or staff to make sure retirees haven’treturned to their jobs.  ABSURD!

Eddie Jones, Association of Arkansas Counties executivedirector, said he didn’t think county officials should be punished for what “hasbeen a fairly common practice since 1999”. “They did so in ‘good faith”.   UNSCRUPULOUS!

Now the Weasel (A.G. McDaniel) will investigate the HenHouse.  You know, the Weasel who ignores our immigration laws, and testified in favor of La Raza’s favorite affirmativeaction Judge Sotomayor.

Doncha feel all better now taxpayers?  At least we can thank one legislator, AllenKerr for being honest enough to make this complicit criminality (pro
tectionracket) public.

You are so full of yourself.

 

Per the Times Record story “Attorney General to testify at
Sotomayor Senate hearing”.

 

Dustin, testifying in behalf of the Marxist/Communist
Sotomayor proves conclusively you’ll suck on any teat if it gets you ink.

 

You state “criticism of the judge over the reversal has been
blown out of proportion and that the facts are greatly distorted in the
case”.  Dustin, your statement is a
bald-faced lie. The Whites and one Hispanic passed the test and all the Blacks
failed.  Your nebulous statement “the
facts of the case are sensitive hot button issues”.   You’re right, but on the other side of the
coin.  It is past time to do away with
set-asides, affirmative action, and quotas. 

 

Dustin, I’m sure they just called you out of the blue for
your inside knowledge about Sotomayor—right? 
You have the gall to say “politics should be left out of the
process”?  You have reached comedic
proportions.

 

You state “I’m just honored to get to go to Washington (oh
wow) and look forward to representing Arkansas there”.  Representing who Dustin?

Hungry Children alleged–another Scam?

201 Comments


May 9, 2009

A dictatorial governor,
135 “fertile minds” working overtime and 20% of Arkansas children under 5 at
risk of going hungry?

 Headline:  Fort Smith Times Record: “Children at risk of
hunger”, May 8, 2009.

I responded to an editorial “Capitol Buzz” appearing in the
May issue of Rural Arkansas by Carmie Henry, who is apparently Vice President
Governmental Affairs for Arkansas Electric Coops.  Carmie’s comments centered around Gov. Mike
Beebe.  Carmie wrote that one solon in
this year’s legislative session stated “that he didn’t know why legislators
needed to come to the Capitol at all”. “His suggestion was that Gov. Beebe
could just send his agenda to legislator’s homes and they could vote via the
Internet”.

Carmie spun that comment to be a salute to Beebe. I
disagree, a precise definition of a dictator. 
Carmie goes on to say Beebe is “scary smart” and that Beebe and Harriman
are masters at crashing legislation that the two do not want. 

Silly me, for decades I have held the misguided belief that
the legislature and the Governor were co-equals.

Carmie responded to my written critique by emphasizing that
Beebe has spent his adult life as a public servant (ugh) earning influence
(yes), working his way up through the state senate, the A.G. and now as
governor….and he concluded and I paraphrase, Beebe deserves to be Governor.

Now to the headline: 
Children at Risk of Hunger.   Is
this allegation true or is it to stir sympathetic emotions of Arkansans for
more government expansion?

If in fact the allegation is true as the article stated,
that means more than 17% of children in Arkansas could suffer cognitive &
developmental damage.

The study also shows that 11 states, Arkansas being one of the
11, more than 20% of children under 5 are at risk of going hungry.

I want to direct a question to the dictatorial governor and
the 135 “fertile minds”.  If in fact the
hunger allegation is true, why was it not addressed in the just concluded
legislative session and furthermore; are there not causal aspects to such a
crisis and why were they not discussed?  Governor and the “fertile minds”, has it occurred
to you folks that in all likelihood the illegal Mexican and OTM invasion has
precipitated these alleged needs, and is it your thought rather than addressing
the invasion you will continue to screw the producers by raising taxes and
ignoring the illegal Mexican invasion which ultimately brings the social and
rule of law tent down irreversibly? In this context I’m reminded of the
governor’s statement: “Legal is legal, illegal is illegal, and we’ve got to
find out what’s legal”.  (Try 8 USC)

Beebe has bequeathed $857,000 to each senator and $25,000 to
each representative for vote getting purposes and influence peddling in the
legislature.  These millions are to be
spent solely by the legislators and at their discretion. This represents $60
million of citizen taxpayer funds that translates into a second tier of vote buying
and influence peddling.

Governor and the “135 fertile minds”, would that $60 million
not feed the alleged hungry children and then some? By the way, how could this
be true in view of the multitudes of government welfare programs, i.e.
Medicaid, Arkids 1 & 2, Food Stamps, WIC, Public school “free” breakfasts
& lunches, backpacks with food to go, Food Banks, Shelters, ad infinitum?
Incidentally, about a Billion in federal stimulus money is being put into
Arkansas Medicaid.  And Governor Beebe
wanted to tax milk!

Carmie said it best: “With 135 fertile minds working
overtime, Beebe’s historical perspective and diplomatic talents have served
Arkansas well”.   Right out of the
Communist Manifesto…a failed society in the making. 

Carmie’s piece appearing in the Rural Arkansas magazine
(May, 2009) was working hard to ensure the Arkansas Electric Coops got “their”
share of the government pie.

Government school “Bailout/Stimulus” Grand theft

89 Comments


April 12, 2009

A prescription for continuing and increasing government corruption—all
levels, in this case Arkansas.

This grand theft had its geneses in Washington, DC,
originally known as the “Bailout”, more recently known as the politically
correct description “Stimulus”.  It is
grand theft by any name.

The portion of the “Bailout” discussed in this missive is
the “education” Bailout dedicated to Arkansas. The amount is $570 million—over ½
Billion! 

Putting this kind of money into an already failed government
school system, formerly known as the Arkansas Public School System, by any
standard an unconstitutional body.  Bear
in mind, two years ago this same government school Protection Racket received
nearly $800 million.

Ask yourselves how is shoveling these bucks into the black
hole of government schools going to create jobs for Arkansans?  The answer: 
it will not.  It is a payoff and
vote getting scheme to keep the AEA & NEA in line for the Democrat Party,
compliments of the producers, i.e. those of us who create, sustain jobs and
otherwise generate capital which subsidizes this burgeoning cancer.

Citizens should be outraged, even more so than they were
about the failed banks and their CEO’s Bailouts and obscene bonuses. The
spending orgy about to be instituted is orchestrated by Education Commissioner
Ken James and his enablers…the drummers include the Governor, State
Legislature, AEA, NEA, school Administrators, etc. In this context Governor
Beebe controls 25% of the payoff.

Some specifics: As a substantial citizen taxpayer, even
in the teeth of this grand theft, I would have hoped there would be some very
definite articulated protocols in the spending of such a vast amount of
capital. Here’s what James serves up.  Prefacing
the listing of protocols, some of James’ outlandish quotes must be noted. James
said he is “urging school district leaders to seek community advice on how to
spend the money”. Who are the people to be chosen? I bet we can guess. He goes
on to say that there are four “Filters”(more P.C.) established by the U.S.
Education Dept. for the money. The 4 Filters are:

1.       Does
it improve the economy?

2.       Is
it a short-term investment with long-term benefits?  (Benefits for whom?)

3.       Is
it allowable under the terms of existing federal programs and the Stimulus Act?
(Federal programs have nothing to do with sustainable jobs)

4.       Can
it lead to improved student achievement? 
(Achievement in what and how does money equate to education?)

James goes on to say that this money will better prepare
students for college and careers, tracking student progress, improving
instruction, improving teacher quality, now comes his kicker, some good ole
government Newspeak (P.C.), including “teacher quality and equitable distribution
of highly qualified teachers among schools”.  I do love this one, “offering intensive and
effective interventions to insure student learning”.  Statements like this are designed to make
students’ parents feel educationally inadequate, while elevating their own
educational prowess in the eyes of the parents. 
Dr. James, I was under the impression that all this was already supposed
to be in place.

 

James also indicated that this money could be used for
employee bonuses tied to particular outcomes. Are these bonuses not a form of
bribery?  â€œParticular outcomes”, more
politically correct Newspeak. Care to elaborate Dr. James?

 

James called for innovation and results “Let’s just not
spend this money the same way we’ve always spent money”.  Absolutely an admission that the education
cabal is a colossal exercise in waste, expansion, power, and greed, i.e. a “Protection
Racket”.

 

James said about 1,000 school districts met at No. Little
Rock’s School Dist. East Campus and discussed what they could do with the ½ billion
spending orgy. There was a great deal of conversation regarding teacher bonuses
and parking lots. The teachers are quick to imitate the bank CEO’s. May I say,
the economic producers of our society are dropping like flies, while
self-serving government parasites of all stripes are lining up at the taxpayer
trough and demanding more largesse.  All
are over-compensated, most of all, Dr. Ken James. The ragmen went to private
sources to qs his salary.

 

Little Rock School District, the largest in the state,
will receive more than $20 million—is this not sobering?  Particularly in the light that the L. R.
school district has been held hostage by the NAACP for ½ century and poured out
millions in lawsuits.  Another sobering
fact:  $111.1 million will be available
for schools to improve academic performance and narrow the achievement gap.
Have these so-called educators been in a holding pattern and only after they
receive these millions can they improve academic performance? By the way, what
is the “achievement gap”?

 

The Arkansas Legislature has been pouring billions into
the Arkansas government school system, with roughly the same enrollment
(435,000) for decades and the just-concluded legislature foolishly injected
more millions into the failed system, replete with millions more of unearned
largesse to the teachers’ health insurance program.

 

Question: Why should government employees receive all
manner of protections, while those paying the bills have none? 

 

If James and his minions had any honor they would reject
the grand theft of taxpayer money.  The
government school system in Arkansas is more than fully funded.

 

Citizens, the Protection Racket will live on and has just
about led to the destruction of our Republic. If you do not soon stimulate your
cerebral capacities we will soon evolve into a third world, multi-cultural
gulag.  Translation:  Kick these bums out now and reject all
federal funding.

 

This Bailout/Stimulus has nothing to do with creating,
sustaining jobs and stimulating the economy, it has all to do, by design, to
destroy Western Civilization and implement Globalism by further crippling the
minds of our youth.

Dr. Ken James, a well traveled academic, states in his
capacity “he will work cooperatively and collaboratively with all stakeholders as
we implement reform initiatives across the state”.  Question Dr. James, who are all these
stakeholders and precisely what are the state’s reform initiatives?  Lots of politically correct bloviating.  James is supportive of the No Child Left
Behind Act, which guarantees the failure of public education simply because
public education has manifested itself with mostly detritus, i.e. watered down
curriculum, indoctrination courses, many classrooms filled with foreign
nationals, many of whom are illegals and that in itself guarantees academic
failure, coupled with “feel good” social programs which claim to produce
self-esteem.

The public school system is a massive cancer which has
morphed into a behemoth which has drained objective thought capacities for at
least 3 generations out of our kids, resulting in those 3 generations devoid of
historical knowledge and analysis and no foundation to act and think
objectively.  Our pocketbooks and
mentality could be restored with a return to sane proven methods, and a stake
driven into the heart of this government school vampire. 

Kindest regards,
