Only 3 more days!                            April 21, 2012

I believe the unfurling of a federal crime is about to occur in full view of American citizens and more specifically, Arkansans.  Some of the supporting cast are: Gov. Mike Beebe, A.G. Dustin McDaniel, the Arkansas State Legislature, the Ark. State Police and of course ICE (Immigration & Customs Enforcement).

The anticipated criminal event is to occur Monday evening, 7:30 PM, at the Fayetteville Town Center, under the auspices of U of A Chancellor G. David Gearhart.  The federal crime he proposes to orchestrate is transporting,  hiring, & perhaps harboring 5 illegal aliens.  2 are Arkansas nesters, the other 3 in Mass., NY, & VA.  Gearhart is having them make speeches about their alleged difficulties they experience as illegals.

Chancellor Gearhart responded to the second missive regarding the event and it could be construed as the handiwork of Attorney General Dustin McDaniel’s office.  Some of his defense of the illegals will be addressed shortly.   For those who may not know, the Arkansas Attorney General has somewhere in the neighborhood of 80 attorneys working for him and his & their job is to defend government, as now Gov. Beebe told me when he was the A.G.  This all reeks of state and federal government collusion, coupled with Unions.

What Gearhart and enablers are perpetrating is in violation of U.S. statutes:  8 USC, Section 1324a….Any person who knowingly hires, harbors or transports any illegal alien is guilty of a felony punishable by 10 yrs jail, plus $2,000 fine for each illegal alien.

Section 1324c:  All officers whose duty is to enforce criminal laws shall have authority to make arrests for violations of any provision of this section.  No local ordinance, rule or measure shall stop law enforcement officers from enforcement of this section. (AFFIRMED SOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT…U.S. VS RUDY GIULIANI 1996)”

In his reply, the Chancellor launches his defense of the projected federal crime by stating “the issues surrounding undocumented immigrants are complex”.   My response—the federal government with complicit state governments’ corrupt conduct are solely responsible for the 25-35 million illegals who presently nest in our republic and millions more making entry on a yearly basis.  Gearhart parrots the worn-out phrase “undocumented immigrants”…immigrants are people who migrate from one country to another legally.  These people are here illegally, hence lawbreakers.

The Chancellor further states that “this will be a learning experience for our students and the general public”.  Translation:  it is nothing more than an indoctrination course to create sympathy for illegal aliens with the future production of increased funding and incremental amnesty. Does this not undermine the rule of law?

Chancellor Gearhart also states:  “the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed undocumented immigrants’ right (?) to public education nearly 3 decades ago”. This is promulgating an existing crime.  The U.S. Supreme Court does not make law, it renders opinions. This can only be construed as corruption at the highest level and absolutely their acts were as if 8USC and its subsections were a non-existent fantasy.  Reference the above ruling in 1996. Since when does a legal opinion supersede a federal law?

As previously stated, Gearhart says the issue of “undocumented immigrants is complex.”  The last 4 sitting presidents have taken no substantive action to secure our national borders, but in fact made efforts to dissolve them.  This activity is destroying middleclass America which has always been the foundation of our republic.  All these attacks on Americans by politicians, bureaucrats such as Gearhart, can only be described as misfeasance & malfeasance.   There is nothing complex about the continuing illegal invasion of America by Mexicans & OTM’s. Seal the borders & deport. America is rapidly losing its status as a 1st World nation and degenerating into a 3rd World multicultural gulag.

Speaking of complexity, Ark. Gov. Mike Beebe stated he has no idea what the presence of illegals in Arkansas is costing taxpayers, i.e. debit cards, food stamps, free meals, free hospitalization, free prenatal & delivery replete with all ancillary services, translators, the huge burden placed on the public school system (e.g. English as a Second Language, gang activity, etc.), under the table payrolls, Hispanics are the number 1 population in federal prisons, e.g. $3 million per day to incarcerate illegals nationally…verify at www.transcript.cnn.com.  30% of inmates are illegal aliens.  

Government has turned into one giant protection racket, top down.  Illegal immigration is turning our nation into a 3rd World dumping ground.  Unemployment in the millions and we hear daily the worn-out canard illegals do the work Americans won’t.  This is untrue.  Illegals have permeated every level of industry, large & small.  Question: Who did the work before the illegals came here?

It will be interesting to see how many state legislators and other government hangers-on will show their faces at the projected crime scene and how many U of A students will take the brainwashing bait.  

Then there is the matter of who is paying for the harboring & transporting for this proposed illegal extravaganza.

Chancellor Gearhart certainly has an understanding of funding; the total yearly cost to subsidize illegal aliens in our nation is $338.3 BILLION. www.rense.com   This funding is seized by force by the federal & state governments.

His political position regarding awarding amnesty to illegal Mexicans & OTM’s is apparent, he has no skin in the game, is a ward of one of the many American welfare institutions, in this case government schools.

Only 6 More Days!                        April 18, 2012

What is the significance of April 23, 2012?

Monday evening 7:30 PM at the Fayetteville Town Center University of Arkansas Chancellor G. David Gearhart will openly flout U.S. statute 8 USC, Section 1324a, which states…any person who knowingly hires, harbors or transports any illegal alien is guilty of a felony punishable by 10 years jail plus $2,000 fine per illegal alien.

There can be no more blatant public violation than what Chancellor Gearhart is perpetrating.
He is in the process of bringing to the Town Center 5 illegal aliens, 2 grew up in Arkansas the other 3 in Mass., N.Y., & VA. 

To commit such an in-your-face public crime it is obvious that Gov. Mike Beebe, the Arkansas State Police, ICE and others are sanctioning & enabling the crime. Why?
Chancellor Gearhart is violating every portion of 1324a…hiring, harboring & transporting illegal aliens.  Are the taxpayers paying for the commission of this crime?

Section 1324c…all officers whose duty is to enforce criminal laws shall have authority to make arrests for violation of any provision of this section.   It appears that the Arkansas State Police, ICE, and other state & federal agencies are complicit in this crime to be. “No local ordinance, rule or measure shall stop law enforcement officers from enforcement of this section. (Affirmed Southern District Court of NY, U.S. vs. Rudy Giuliani, 1996)”

Is it this kind of conduct that the Univ. of Ark. School of Law teaches?  A willful violation of the U.S. Constitution, the rule of law, and the destruction of our sovereignty?
Chancellor Gearhart’s conduct and that of his enablers is not only unlawful but appalling in the extreme.

Incidentally, Chancellor Gearhart has used taxpayer facilities & equipment in other nefarious pursuits on behalf of illegal aliens.

Legality, criminality, morality, and selective law enforcement—all embedded in the University of Arkansas Fayetteville campus.                            April 9, 2012

Every citizen across America knows of Coach Petrino’s morality issues, but how many citizens are aware of the conduct of U of A Chancellor G. David Gearhart that essentially promotes criminal conduct ?

The morality issue of U of A football Coach Bobby Petrino will be left to theologians, legal analysts, and members of the Razorback Foundation, not so with arrogant, elitist law-breaker Chancellor G. David Gearhart. 

The foundation on which Gearhart’s promotion of criminal misconduct are founded:

1.    Federal Law 8 USC, which in part states:
a.    Section 1325 states any alien who enters the U.S. other than a port of entry by false or misleading representation shall be subject to civil and criminal penalties and can be fined and imprisoned.  This subsection of 8 USC has been negated by the treasonous act of President Barack Hussein Obama’s “law by decree”.

b.    Section 1324a:  Hiring-harboring-transporting any illegal alien…any person who knowingly hires/harbors/transports any illegal alien is guilty of a felony punishable by 10 Years Jail, plus a $2,000 fine per illegal alien, plus forfeiture of vehicle or property used to commit the crime.  Chancellor Gearhart is in direct violation of 1324a.

c.    Section 1324c:  Law officers have authority to make arrests.  All officers whose duty it is to enforce criminal laws shall have authority to make arrests for violation of any provision of this section. The FBI, the Ark. State Police and all other policing agencies in Arkansas are in violation of their sworn constitutional duties, and most particularly the county sheriff who has jurisdiction over all other law enforcement agencies.

“No local ordinance, rule, or measure shall stop law enforcement officers from enforcement of this section.  (Affirmed Southern District Court of NY, U.S. vs. Rudy Giuliani, 1996)”

Chancellor Gearhart is promoting lawlessness by the following means:  He has concocted a symposium which includes 5 illegal aliens.  2 of the aliens grew up in Arkansas; the other 3 grew up in Mass., N.Y. and Va.   The event will be held in the Fayetteville, AR Town Center on Monday April 23, 2012 from 7:30-9:00 PM.  Who Pays?   As stated previously, Gearhart and his minions are flouting U.S. law.  Arkansas State Rep. Jon Hubbard brought this matter up with the Chancellor and was rebuffed at every crossing.  Reading Gearhart’s response implies that this is just a matter of free speech that concerns the national immigration debate. His response makes it patently obvious he was not familiar with or does not understand 8 USC Sections 1324-1325. Criminals are criminals and illegal aliens are illegal and criminal because they are here illegally. How is this any different from promoting a symposium of prison escapees who advocate amnesty for all escaped prisoners?  The escaped prisoners are illegally because they got out of prison illegally.  Illegal aliens illegally entered the United States.

 From a number of Hubbard’s statements regarding the upcoming symposium, e.g. Gearhart stated, among other untruths, “Their undocumented immigration status makes travel within the U.S. difficult and risky and their ability to work legally impossible”.  Can it be that Chancellor Gearhart is so far removed from American’s everyday life, to fabricate such a lie?  (The precursor to the illegal alien event was the importation of Mass. Educator & author Alfie Kohn who embraces Marxist/Communism and spoke to a student audience the week of April 1st declaring “Grades, homework, and competition undermine an innate in children to explore & discover”.  Is this the kind of educational approach citizens’ want for their children?? Indoctrination and dumbing down, you say? )

In another email from one of many Associate Vice-Chancellors named John M. Diamond proclaimed “Undocumented immigrants also have a legal right to earn income”.   By this interchange one can readily conclude that these two have no understanding nor regard for U.S. law.

The Arkansas State Police have been for years issuing drivers licenses to illegal aliens of all stripes (otherwise why would they publish all requirements, etc. in Spanish?), and the Arkansas Public School systems are handing out by the thousands social security numbers known as “Socials”.  
 
Then there is the statement from U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency Pat Reilly said, “The only way foreign nationals can attend college in the United States legally is through the agency’s International Student Exchange and Visitor’s Program.”  “Illegal immigrants in the U.S. cannot qualify for that program, Reilly said”.

The First Amendment’s guarantee of free speech is very dear to me. People who are here lawfully are free to debate changes in immigration laws in a PROPER forum. The University of Arkansas is not a forum for the presentation of ideas about life on the lam by criminals who engaged in criminal activity at the time of their presentation.

The U.S. Justice Department appears to be criminally corrupt to the core and top down selective law enforcement is the order of the day. Are we all to believe we are still a nation which abides by the rule of law?

Where are the handcuffs?

P.S.  OK Foods, Fort Smith, AR., now owned by a Mexican corporation is hiring 182 new workers, 100 to be employed in Ft. Smith and 82 in Heavener, OK.   Question: are we to believe all these new hires will be American citizens?

The Circuitous Path of 2nd Street Live; who do you believe and the continuous expansion of UAFS and its cost?   Part II                            April 6, 2012

A series of financial numbers from different sources makes it difficult, if not impossible, to know from whom the warehouse was purchased and for how much.

Wednesday’s edition of the Ark. Dem. Gaz. said the building at 101 No. 2nd St. was purchased about 3 yrs ago for about $1.2 million and another $1.2 million to turn the then vacant space into an Arts venue. The Times Record stated in their April 6th edition that John McIntosh & the 2nd Street Live board purchased the building for $400,000 and spent $1.2 million for renovations which leaves an $800,000 differential from the Dem-Gaz story.

The T.R. further stated that the CBID purchased the property from 2nd Street Live for $700,000, satisfying the loan at a loss for the bank (?)   Does this mean the bank could have lost $500,000 in these financial transactions? 

Topical research demonstrates there were at least 8 government agencies that were involved funding 2nd Street Live. (see their website)  Question: If 2nd Street Live was and has been funded in the main by government institutions and it is now being proposed to be sold to another government institution, i.e. UAFS, is this not a fact that 2nd Street Live is being paid for TWICE by taxpayers?  By what and whose authority, for example, do the F.S. Public Schools, Univ. of Ark., city of Fort Smith, etc. have for funding private entertainment venues???

This appears to be another instance where taxpayers are being hosed not once but twice.  Some quotes in the T.R. are indeed curious.  Jim Perry, president of 2nd Street Live stated “it started out as a group of friends to have private concerts mainly for themselves”.  From all appearances this is another taxpayer bailout.

The T.R. goes on to state that Perry and others have invested their “time & passion” in 2nd Street Live. There is no evidence that they put any money into the venture.  Board member John McIntosh said “how cool is it to have our students downtown”.   How so, John?

UAFS Chancellor Paul Beran says he is also excited about the acquisition…Beran never saw an acquisition he did not like…more & more funding for trivia.   Note that Beran and the Univ. of Ark. system are increasing tuition by 3%, in all likelihood to cover their voracious appetities for travel, acquisitions, extensive advertising (electronic billboards, primetime TV & radio, ad infinitum).  Beran is the typical career self-serving bureaucrat who personifies White Collar Medicaid. 

Beran has no skin in this game, and it appears none of the other players do either.

BANDITS STRIKE AGAIN

Leave a comment


White Collar Welfare Recipients strike another strategic blow.            April 5, 2012

Political Correctness demands the term be designated as “White Collar Medicaid”.  Aside from the 3-5% of Americans who cannot defend themselves in any way, shape or form and are being taken care of as it must be, then there are the deadbeats, slugs, ner-do-wells with their hands-out accounting for more than half our national population.  Included in these numbers are politicians, bureaucrats and government employees which tragically have the ability to increase their unearned largesse, their numbers and of course their protection racket at will.  They are known as the White and Blue Collar Medicaid recipients. For verification view their union activity.

UAFS Chancellor Paul Beran is the proud disseminator of another to be taxpayer subsidized dream/vision.  Beran, with accomplices Elizabeth Momand, head of UAFS’ Music & Humanities Department; Jim Perry, president of 2nd Street Live; Don Lee, head of UAFS Art, Graphic Design & Theater Dept; the CBID (Griffin/White/Sicard); along with Beran have collaborated to have UAFS buy the failed 2nd Street Live government subsidized business venture.

Background on the emerging embryonic boondoggle. Initially, a non-profit (owners not known) purchased the to be 2nd Street Live building (owner not known) at 101 N. 2nd St for $1.2 million 3 years ago and another $1.2 million to revamp the place.  This indeed was and is a dazzling figure for a bombed out building on No. 2nd St. and the only logical conclusion that can be reached; it was another taxpayer subsidized grand theft. It is highly unlikely that private funding was used to purchase and renovate the 101 No. 2nd  St. shell.  If the above is incorrect, please correct.

It comes to pass that Beran, Momand, and Lee have decided that Breedlove auditorium is just too large a venue to accommodate a classical guitar performance and other solo artists. Therefore; Beran and his enablers want to buy the $2.4 million facility for $972,000 with a payout of 15 years.  As always no mention of maintenance expense.  In conjunction with the purchase, Lee exclaimed “I have great plans” and “we’re on the verge of something pretty exciting”.   You bet he does, more taxpayer money poured down a rat hole benefiting just a few.

Whoever owned the building made out like a bandit and it appears that Richard Griffin and Phil White’s fingerprints are all over this travesty, but not limited to.

Beran has been pushing for downtown university dormitories (does Beran have eyes on that cluster of downtown apartments 1 blk east of 2nd St. Live?), a downtown Academy for delinquents, and now a downtown entertainment booking center for solo artists.  This can be defined as “instant gratification”.

These White Collar Medicaid recipients, coupled with predatory opportunists are perpetually expanding their government domain and their protection rackets. It is believed taxpayers already have $2.4 million invested in this barn and now the likes of Beran, Lee, Momand and the CBID have plans for no telling what, but all in the realm of taxpayer funding.  It is past time to demand that Griffin, White, Sicard, et al use their own money in their attempted resuscitation of downtown Fort Smith. (Their private self-serving Urban Renewal projects) It is indeed breathtaking what this bunch has lined up…all to be paid for by the taxpayers….the proposed $50 million Museum colossus, ball parks, trails, water park, ad infinitum.
The White Collar Medicaid bandits have no skin in the games and if productive citizens do not stand up and defend their earnings/property, self-serving pols & bureaucrats like Beran, oh yes, throw in Ivy Owen…there will be nothing left for the beleaguered producers.
All “educational” institutions are wallowing in filthy lucre and the Boards citizens elect to oversee the conduct of the White Collar Bandits are as useless as crows on a fence—there is no meaningful oversight.

Question: have you ever heard a White Collar Bandit allude to the fact that our nation has a $16.4 Trillion debt and $74 Trillion in unfunded mandates— Medicaid, Medicare & Social Security. Why would any taxpaying citizen vote to return incumbent slugs to their current positions who are perpetuating this culture of corruption?

Don’t forget Funding Follows Failure and The Easiest Job in the World is Spending Other People’s Money.

Joe McCutchen

P.S.  How many of Fort Smith citizens are aware that Supt. Benny Gooden turned over all authority regarding running the F.S. School District to the Federal Government and there is absolutely no citizen control locally or statewide.  This under the auspices of Common Core Standards, reducing the young to an egalitarian learning environment, i.e. reducing all to a common denominator. Remember, Gooden was the fellow who stated in a news article “We’ll take all we can get” meaning illegal Mexicans and OTM’s & of course the FUNDING.  F.S. Kindergarten thru 2nd grade are already immersed, grades 3-8 began in January, with the rest scheduled shortly.

Big Bucks for Marxist at U. of A.

The University of Arkansas and the Communist Manifesto        April 3, 2012

Alfie Kohn comes to the Univ. of Ark. at Fayetteville to distribute his Marxist/Communist approach to public education, obviously with the approval of Chancellor G. David Gearhart and other administrators.

Cultural Marxist’s have at last created enough success in the matter of “education”, and of course other endeavors, that they no longer feel the need to mask their Collectivist agenda.
Mr. Kohn is proud to announce that his work has appeared in any number of left-leaning publications, e.g. The New York Times, USA Today, Huffington Post, and Education Week.
Right at the get-go Kohn slams the very bulwark that allowed America to achieve preeminence, speaking of what was formerly known as public schools now known as government schools, by stating “grades, homework, and competition undermine an innate desire in children to explore and discover”.   This can be refuted by two words…A Lie. 

Kohn goes on to say “Every study that has been done on the use of grades and motivation has found a negative effect on the latter”.  Name one legitimate study, Mr. Kohn, and how do you explain the successes of American education up to the point where government seized complete control of public education by shaking the funding carrot under the noses of corrupt education unions, administrators, governors and state legislators.
 
Kohn comes forth with his coup d’ etat “ They (parents) have to choose whether they want children to boast about attending a selective college or earning a high income, or whether they want to develop adults who are happy, ethical, caring, and creative people”.  Obviously, achievement and earned self-esteem mean nothing to Comrade Kohn, just the creation of uneducated groups of automatons who cannot think for themselves or dissent.
 
Kohn does appreciate one form of Capitalism, that being the $6,500 fee he is receiving for spewing his Communist views which destroy young people’s minds and eliminates any possible ability to discuss and/or debate logically or objectively.

Another example of self-serving educrats throwing hard-earned taxpayer money to the winds, while the Univ. of Ark. system has the audacity to raise tuition.

Marsha Jones, a feather-bedding Associate Superintendent for the Springdale School System, echoes some of Kohn’s bloviating by stating “the district places an emphasis on educating the whole child which means paying attention to emotional, social, and health needs”.

These are the very reasons the U.S. has tumbled from #1 in education in the world to a shameful, pitiful #23.

Common Core Education Standards

Ladies & Gentlemen of the Arkansas State Legislature                March 22, 2012

Have any objections been raised by any of you to engage in a debate re: Common Core Education which cedes to the federal government all remaining vestiges of public education while creating an Egalitarian Society, and all is supported, praised, and directed by Gov. Mike Beebe…who is and has shown an affinity for Marxist-Communism?—$110 million Medicaid increase, $100 million schools, Obamacare, ad infinitum.

The state of Arkansas will become the administrative agent for a national curriculum devised and administered by faceless D.C. bureaucrats through the adoption of nationalized standards…and who picks up the expensive tab?

Educational bureaucracies, all failed, act as if they are the 4th branch of government, and in the main is nothing more than a featherbedding criminal cabal destroying the abilities of our young to function objectively and academically. To make the point, here is a quote from one of the many Fort Smith Assistant Superintendents, Barry Owen Assistant Superintendent of Instruction regarding Common Core Standards-comprehend if you can…”We aren’t teaching them to be reservoirs of knowledge anymore, we are teaching them to put things back out there and to change things”.

A hands-off approach to K-12 educational policy is an abandonment of the Legislature’s Constitutional duty to keep the agencies of state government accountable to the people.

It does not appear that you understand the failures of public education. It is a squalid state of affairs with the teaching community mum on the federal government takeover, making them accomplices to the crimes against our children.

Common Core Standards is a criminal project being foisted on our citizens, most particularly our children, and you ladies & gentlemen of the State Senate and House of Representatives are shirking (for whatever the reason) your constitutional obligations of protecting our children and taxpayers.  It is obvious you are allowing our bully-boy governor to hold forth without a modicum of resistance.

NEVER FORGET, FUNDING FOLLOWS FAILURE.

COMMON CORE STRAITJACKET

Leave a comment


They love to say “IT’S FOR THE CHILDREN”….in reality it’s AGAINST!        3/9/12

America’s Fatal Blow: the creation of another class of automatons—your children and my grandchildren via more government criminality—COMMON CORE STANDARDS. (Not to be confused with Ed Hirsch’s Core Knowledge Curriculum!)  This is being promoted under the auspices of individuals who laughingly identify themselves as “educators” rather than government operative agents.

Front page story in Times Record March 9, 2012…”National uniform curriculum standards topic of video event”.

The chilling lead paragraph:  “Curriculum standards determined by individual states are a thing of the past because today’s students must compete in a global workforce, area educators learned in a video conference statewide summit Thursday”.  Is the author of this paragraph asserting, in this case, a Mary Gunter, Arkansas Tech University Center for Leadership Director that all the school teachers in Arkansas are ready to turn over entire control of public education to federal government bureaucrats?

Reread that paragraph and see how easily government spokeswoman Gunter rolls out Educanto Newspeak under the guise of a “global workforce” and cede city and state control of education to federal bureaucrats.  Harken back to the criminal No Child Left Behind federal edict which has been a disaster to academic achievement…and now this further affront and confiscation of state and individual rights in blatant violation of our 10th Amendment.

Gunter remarked the “U.S. once offered the world’s best educational system, the world changed after World War II, and the country is now ranked 22nd “.   Gunter is very generous in the ranking of the U.S.   The world did not change, what changed was governmental interference and redirection of educational goals to achieve collectivist controlled thinking, e.g. death to logic, to rationality, to merit, to achievement, to work ethic & responsibility, to heritage, culture, and to rugged individualism and the vulgar refusal to enforce immigration laws.  Egalitarianism, in short.

In unison the corrupt federal government purposely failed to invoke the U.S. Constitution, thereby allowing the legal and illegal 3rd World invasions.  Recall, that government surrogate F.S. Superintendent Benny Gooden, in his famous statement “We’ll take all we can get”…was referring to illegal aliens.  Dr. Gooden was smacking his lips at the funding the sanctuary city of Fort Smith, Arkansas and its public schools would receive.

FUNDING FOLLOWS FAILURE.  Not only are American pupils not being taught true core subjects (e.g. proper grammar, classics, geography, mathematics, science, etc.) but they have to contend with a continually growing number of children who do not speak English and whose cultures and values are quite different.  Another excuse to dumb-down, to teach the Test, to revise curriculum to reflect the Politically Correct concepts being foisted, e.g. affirmative action, feminism, smears of racism, quotas, set-asides, et al. Don’t forget, MORE FUNDING.

Another educational gem by Spokeswoman Mary Gunter, “Access to a quality education shouldn’t be determined by person’s zip code, and that’s where Common Core comes in” the video narrator stated.  Translation: Gunter is articulating with bravado that government is going to force every child into the same mold regardless of local mores, culture, heritage, abilities and/or ambitions, the practice known as Marxist Communism in the real world. 

Gunter goes on to declare that “46 states including Arkansas (citizens were you aware of these goings on?—Of course not) have adopted and begun implementing the Common Core Standards.”  Not so in the case of number of participating states.  Oklahoma, New Hampshire, So. Carolina, Minnesota and Texas are removing part or all of Common Core Standards.  Five other states have not even taken the bait. 

Enter Barry Owen, one of the numerous Fort Smith School District’s assistant or deputy superintendents. It is said he is the “Assistant Superintendent of Instruction”…he asserted that “technology, social media, and access to it has changed the game”.  More educanto Newspeak from government emissary Owen. Most of us know true academic core subjects and discipline are the basis for authentic education not revisionism, omissions, approximations, etc.

Comprehend, if you can, Owen’s next statement, be forewarned that it represents a huge challenge, “we aren’t teaching them to be reservoirs of knowledge anymore (what an admission!), we are teaching them to put things back out there and to change things”.  Huh? This is the guy who is charge of INSTRUCTION?

The article is mercifully concluded with one final statement from emissary Prof. Owen, “The bottom line is if I move across the line, to Oklahoma, the curriculum will be the same as here in Arkansas”. (Not if the Oklahoma legislature has its way!)

The featherbedding polyglot formerly known as public education has become a wholesale criminal endeavor, purposely blunting the minds of our children and grandchildren under the direction of government agents like Benny Gooden, Merle Dickerson, and Barry Owen leading the charge.

NEVER FORGET: FUNDING FOLLOWS FAILURE!!!  And funding is the entire name of the game to most.

School Superintendent Merle Dickerson, Van Buren, Arkansas:

Superintendent Dickerson,                    March 8, 2012

 The editorial appearing in the Times Record this date was appalling.  The statements attributed to your Lisa Miller cannot even be classified as sophomoric.  Consider such phrases as “This is a school about exploring who you are and what you want out of life and where freshmen are the bomb”.   Then she is quoted regarding “transition, passions, and workforce situations”…right out of the Karl Marx dictionary and D.C. bureaucrats.  Educanto Newspeak!

A number of weeks ago another one of your teachers was awarded a meritorious teaching award, I believe in math, and certainly was to be congratulated. Then it was noticed she was wearing sneakers, Levis that appeared to have holes up & down the legs and some sort of ill-fitting shirt.  Are we to construe that this is professionalism and said dress would stimulate students to achieve?  Achieve what?

Today readers were bombarded by a T.R. editorial regarding COMMON CORE STANDARDS…”designed to be robust and relevant to the real world”.   How trite.  
A number of states, as you should surely know, are opting out of COMMON CORE STANDARDS—Oklahoma, New Hampshire, So. Carolina, Minnesota, and Texas—either in part or all, why is this?  Five states have never even taken the bait.

NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND was/is tragic, COMMON CORE is much worse.  With Common Core the National Government controls everything that is taught to the child, and no parental input allowed. That alone is criminal.  Additionally, if the implementation of Common Core is brought to fruition it will force the cost of education (using the term education loosely) to skyrocket.  With Common Core the children will only be taught what the federal government wants the child to learn, which translates to a huge indoctrination program, long on indoctrination and political correctness, short on real academics.

Superintendent Dickerson, with a growing multicultural gulag, government schools, formerly known as public education, has deteriorated into nothing more or less than academic thievery.
With a program of this magnitude and expense, why hasn’t the whole community been informed and discussions held to determine the worth or lack of in this D.C. production and of huge importance, what is the relationship of Common Core with Global Partnership Schools?

A microcosm why our union cannot & will not survive.  These few examples appeared today 10/4/11 in 2 Arkansas newspapers. Let’s travel from D.C. to Fort Smith.

Presidential candidate Herman Cain castigated 3 of the Republican candidates for demanding an audit for the Federal Reserve, while 2 of the 3 wanted the U.S. out of the Federal Reserve.  Research into why Cain would castigate fellow candidates in a very harsh, mean-spirited diatribe, shows that Cain was a former Director of the Kansas City Federal Reserve, which in my view makes him a bedfellow of Wall Street.

Senator John Boozman, the Travellin’ Man, just returned from Afghanistan.  In Boozman’s 10 year sojourn in the U.S. Congress, coming up on 3 years in the U.S. Senate, he has made, many times accompanied by his wife, about a hundred international trips courtesy of the taxpayers.  Can you imagine the cost of these safaris?  Note Boozman has been associated with NATO (the global army) since his early days in the congress. Boozman has trashed the Constitution numerous times and can only be described as a Neo-con—“eternal war for eternal peace”, and acting at the behest of Israel.  Constitutionally, economically and morally he is bankrupt. In 2008 he was in D.C. only 39 days.

Moving on down to Little Rock, Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe weighs in on the Ark. Game & Fish Commission demanding a raise for their employees, actually it should be said the citizens’ employees. In typical Beebe fashion of never taking a public position, he says “let me do some cogitating”.  Governor, a people’s suggestion regarding pay raises for Game & Fish…give them a raise, a swift kick in the ass, that’s the only “raise” they need or deserve.  Citizens, this is the same bunch that a few months ago it was determined that Game & Fish had more than one car per employee which once again shows vividly that Gov. Beebe is on top of things. The audacity & arrogance in asking for a raise when the providers are struggling mightily.  If said employees don’t like their present pay and want to quit, by all means quit.  Most are perhaps not needed & could be replaced in 24 hours.

Enter Fort Smith: City Administrator Gosack, a majority of City Directors, and any number of insiders are offering up tax increases by the numbers:

1.    Prepared Food Tax…..2. Marshall’s Museum….3. Marshall’s Statue….4. Subsidizing Garrison Ave. businesses….5. The West End….6. Water Park….7. Softball fields, etc.

Enter UAFS Chancellor Paul Beran and his schemes…Mallalieu Academy of Excellence, the Entrepreneurial School, his Globalist Chinese trips, long costly trips for UAFS volleyball team, electronic billboards, primetime TV & print media advertising.  There is no bottom to the money-pit.

The GAO released these statistics: (If these stats don’t move you into an erect position you are comatose)  In California, Texas, Florida, N.Y. & Ohio natural born Americans are about to become a minority.  Third Worlders who have ambushed our republic all have a philosophy somewhere between Socialism and Marxist Communism & translates to a one party system…guess which one.  Failure to uphold Immigration law 8 USC has all but destroyed our once preeminent republic—all caused by long term congression Whites with a few Blacks sprinkled in who were & are willing to sell their souls for position and money instead of securing our borders thereby insuring our sovereignty and the demands of our Constitution.  Arkansas is home to 3 of these sell-outs, Senators Pryor & Boozman & Rep. Ross.

Occurrences such as these are now every day.  So continue the stupidity of supporting Party Politics and reelecting politicians for decades and you guarantee the demise of our republic.
