WHY MORE CONCERN FOR MEXICAN NATIONALS THAN FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS?    January 11, 2014

Is Arkansas State Univ. Chancellor Tim Hudson in violation of the Freedom of Information Act by evading delivery of a certified mail containing an FOIA which requests, among other things, all contracts, agreements, memos, & all other documentation setting forth the terms of any private entity guaranteeing funding of any campus that Ark. State University intends to operate within the country of Mexico, including the names of all persons or entities guaranteeing such funding.
The chronology of the FOIA is as follows:

1.    The FOIA was sent by certified mail, receipt requested, December 27, 2013
2.    Chancellor Hudson’s office was notified Dec. 31st, 2013 of the arrival of the certified mail
3.    As of this date, January 11, 2014, at 1:00 PM, Chancellor Hudson had still not accepted receipt of the certified mail.
4.    It is understood that there is a period of 5 days that the school in all likelihood was closed for Christmas vacation.
5.    By law an individual or entity is required to respond to an FOIA within 3 working days of delivery.
6.    Using a start date of January 6, 2014 it has been 5 working days & no response.
7.    Chancellor Hudson is aware by means of an email sent to him and others on Jan. 3, 2014 that there was an FOI request in the mail.

Therefore; questions arise.

1.    Are Chancellor Hudson, Governor Beebe, Director of Higher Education Shane Broadway, the A-State’s Board of Regents and the private investors playing games regarding the FOI?
2.    Is the failure to accept the FOIA another case of bureaucratic incompetency?
3.    Are the above listed individuals huddled together determining how to respond to the FOIA?
4.    Are there other possibilities for a no show in the matter of the FOIA and of course the answer is yes, but what are they?
5.    Is this a case of elitist bureaucrats & politicians bullying the middleclass in a matter that at this juncture appears to be a theft of citizen property?
6.    The United States of America ranks 16th globally in the matter of education. Among other things pertaining to the sordid state of education in the U.S. what possible justification could there be for a mediocre state institution (A-State) to embark on building a facility in a foreign land?  Is the payoff cheap labor, votes, and open borders?
7.    A member of the A-State Board of Regents said that after 3 years of operation in Mexico the institution would show a profit. The fellow is surely living in rarified air.

Why Governor Beebe’s and the state legislature’s deafening silence on this matter and why the refusal to dissect what appears to be huge constitutional and legal concerns, i.e. Article 1, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution, no authority to use/share taxpayer/citizens’ property with a foreign government?

  And then the matter of the FOIA request lying in the dead letter box at a U.S. Post Office?

Do we now know what a confirmed Globalist is doing in the Arkansas Delta?

Is there something rotten in Denmark?                January 3, 2014

Governor Mike Beebe, after a 3 decade life in Arkansas government, made statements to the press which were murky at best, when asked about his political future.

Responding to questions from the Associated Press, “Where am I going to go? Washington?”  Continuing on the Governor said “I want good people to go up there. Just don’t make me do it.”  A tinge of arrogance would you say?  With the usual political drivel he stated “I’d argue that 32 years of public office, I’ve served my time, I’ve given back”.   He failed to say he “made a difference”.

The governor does not preclude himself from running from another political office but you do not have to run for political office to hold a political office, e.g. school superintendents, Director of Higher Education, university Chancellors, ad infinitum.  You see, politicians are not like old soldiers, they NEVER fade away, they just keep coming back.

It was pointed out in two missives the past two weeks that Arkansas State University, compliments of Gov. Mike Beebe, the state legislature, ASU Chancellor Tim Hudson, and a host of private entities and government employees have literally and absolutely stolen taxpayer property—the Arkansas State name, funding, personnel, equipment, travel, ad infinitum, and there has been no public discussion to my knowledge directed at citizens by the Governor or state legislature pertaining to this nefarious affair.

As previously pointed out, A-State employees and “Internationalist” Chancellor Tim Hudson are holding dual roles directing the affairs of A-State Jonesboro and the A-State holdings in the Mexican State of Queretaro that is projected to be an A-State location. Incidentally, where do Hudson’s & the A-State faculty’s allegiances lie?  Hudson’s profile will substantiate his “globalist” background and interests.  It was further pointed out that the 3 year subsidy plan for the A-State Mexican University is to be funded by as yet unknown individuals/corporations, i.e. the Huckabee 3 year payment plan that brought in the unconstitutional & illegal Mexican Consulate to Little Rock.

From afar can the following propositions be put forth with a reasonable amount of certainty?
 
1.    When Governor Beebe’s term expires he then moves on to become Chancellor of A-State, Jonesboro, AR. Beebe is a graduate of ASU.
2.    At that point, current ASU Chancellor Tim Hudson moves to Queretaro, Mexico and assumes the Chancellorship of the embryonic ASU Mexico.
3.    Then former Gov. Mike Beebe, who would now be the ASU Chancellor, would spend at least 6 months of each year lobbying the Ark. State Legislature for A-State Jonesboro and A-State Mexico, i.e. the king & his court.
4.    More corporate welfare (providing more cheap educated Mexican & OTM labor, while displacing the American middleclass) & expansion of state government.

If A-State Mexico becomes reality it will be the grandest rape of middleclass Arkansans in the history of our state.

What is a confirmed globalist doing in the Arkansas delta?      December 27, 2013

The globalist in question is Arkansas State University’s Chancellor, Tim Hudson.
A tacit review as to why Chancellor Hudson is described as a bona fide Globalist.

He was special assistant to the chancellor for International Programs and Initiatives at the University of Houston System. From 2004 until 2010 he was president of the University of Houston–Victoria, following a two-decade career as a professor of economic development, program director, founding dean of the College of International and Continuing Education.  Hudson is the recipient of two Fulbright Fellowships (Germany and Mexico), and an ITT International Fellowship to study in Colombia, South America. He also has developed and led more than 30 programs for U.S. students to study abroad and was awarded an honorary doctorate by London Guildhall University for his contributions to global literacy.

A quote from Hudson, “Ark. State Univ. will change the trajectory of EDUCATION IN MEXICO with a partnership Queretaro that will help A. State fulfill its mission of students to be GLOBAL CITIZENS”. What is a GLOBAL CITIZEN, other than someone who no longer recognizes sovereignty and how is Mexico’s education our business?  Hudson shows no concern for American students and their outlook for American jobs, just cheap corporate labor.

Very recently, 12/26/13, it was divulged on a limited basis, accompanied by no political fanfare, that Ark. State Univ. located in Jonesboro, AR was installing another Ark. State Univ. in Queretaro, Mexico and official groundbreaking to take place Feb. 5, 2014.

There has been no public comment, no discussion by Ark. Governor Mike Beebe, the state legislature, Senators John Boozman & Mark Pryor, and Congressman Rick Crawford representing the 1st Congressional District, Arkansas which is home to ASU.

With such a huge undertaking why no public discussions by Arkansas’ elected public officials?  The move by ASU Chancellor Hudson and his yet unknown co-conspirators, both American citizens & foreign nationals, have essentially hijacked a publicly owned institution for their own political & economic visions and gains.
The Constitution (Article 1, Section 10) and the Rule of Law have been smashed by both elected & unelected representatives of the state of Arkansas.  What possible foundation could be used to subsidize a foreign national country’s educational base other than by self-serving politicians & others closely related to government? 

The seizure of ASU by the Chancellor & his bunko squads have replicated former Gov. Mike Huckabee’s unconstitutional & illegal scheme that brought us the Mexican Consulate, i.e. funded for 3 years by private individuals and/or corporations, and at the 3 year juncture the tax burdens placed on the backs of Arkansas taxpayers. The tactics that Hudson and his enablers are using are known as the “Huckabee Bump”.  
At this point the only conclusion that can be reached regarding the hijacking of ASU by national and foreign nationals is to turn ASU into their private economic/political playpen.

It is obvious that the cabal has no regard for sovereignty, the rule of law, and Western culture.

If the aforementioned is not absolutely correct then Governor Beebe & other engaged Ark. officials are challenged to present themselves for public discussion and debate as to why citizen-owned Ark. State Univ. should be seized by private & foreign national interests.

Citizens will look forward to hearing from each of you since we fully understand as public servants your vested interests lie in the arms of the citizens.

P.S. Whether or not it is relevant, Gov. Mike Beebe, Congressman Rick Crawford, State Senator Jake Files, and House Speaker Davy Carter are graduates of ASU.

Will the theft of Arkansas’ taxpayer owned ASU be allowed to stand?

Headline: Arkansas State University to start Mexico campus, Times Record, December 26, 2013
Some quotes:  “A $50 million undertaking that’s being funded with private money”, followed by a statement “with the private foundation underwriting any operating deficits for 3 years after the campus opens”.   Who makes up the private foundation and what is their purpose?   Are the Tysons, Waltons and Stephens, etc. footprints on this endeavor?   In this case more cheap educated Mexican labor on the horizon, benefiting American corporations?

ASU Chancellor Tim Hudson comes forth with some typical educanto statements, e.g. “The campus will be transformative for Arkansas State (how?) and energize our mission of creating globally competitive opportunities for our faculty and students”.  Somewhere in the seams of the Chancellor’s scheme taxpayers will end up paying for this unconstitutional bunko endeavor; furthermore where is it written that taxpayers should subsidize opportunities for the ASU faculty? In this regard, Mexico will not fund.

More world view economics from Hudson, “The business and government partners share our interest in educating students (Mexicans) who will contribute to a sustainable democracy and socio-economic progress in Mexico”.  (Does the Chancellor really believe there is a democracy in Mexico?) Now you have it, business and government, cheap labor the goal, are cranking up this hideous operation and in 3 years Arkansas taxpayers will subsidize. Chancellor Hudson is not aware or perhaps does not care that a nexus between business and government is Fascism, and government is the CEO.

Is Chancellor Hudson so ensconced in expanding his piece of the criminally corrupt education pie that he has lost sight of the tragic failures of American education at all levels, much of it brought on by illegal Mexicans and OTM’s?

A further Hudson quote, “we need our students to acquire skills”.  Who are our students?  Mexican or U.S.?

And here is the most bombastic statement from a so-called higher education czar, i.e. Hudson, “We are preparing a new generation for employment opportunities and employment needs that have not yet been defined”.    How do you prepare for something that doesn’t exist?

Former Gov. Mike Huckabee violated the U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 10 by planting an illegal Mexican Consulate in Little Rock.  The same 3 year agreement as stated above was in effect for the illegal, unconstitutional Little Rock Mexican Consulate, and perhaps the same violation is occurring in the ASU proposition.   An FOIA request was issued to Huckabee and the name or names of the entity or entities funding the first 3 years of the illegal Mexican Consulate were redacted from the FOI. Could this be the same group?

From the above factual statements one can only conclude that ASU and any number of other of higher educational facilities are being run and promoted by self-serving, uneducated fools.

The Amnesty Pied Piper steals American’s futures

Leave a comment


The Pied Piper for Amnesty (25-35 millions of illegals—not the 12 million the government lies about), Open Borders, & Cheap Labor, with more coming.        November 4, 2013

Randy Zook, the Pied Piper and Chief Executive Officer of the Arkansas State Chamber of Commerce/Associated Industries of Arkansas, anointed a Fort Smith Chamber of Commerce’s First Friday Breakfast with a ton of blather with little honesty or substance.  He titled his screed “The Global War for Good Jobs”.  

He stated Arkansas has about 98,000 who are officially unemployed and 100,000 who are under-employed/not working 40 hours.  A tacit overview of those numbers fails to compute.  The Federal Government estimates 90 million Americans are unemployed (no telling how many illegals), 50 million or more on Food Stamps, etc. etc. etc. do the math.

In Arkansas the rollout for Obamacare, 70,000 residents jumped into the Medicaid trough but Governor Beebe, accompanied by the Arkansas Republican Cavemen & Cavewomen failed to state how many residents opted for Obamacare.   So much for transparency.   Fully half of Arkansas residents are on some form of welfare, while Zook and the country’s movers & shakers fan the flames for amnesty and an unimpeded flow of immigrants, legal & illegal.

Zook states Arkansas has 82,000 individuals who he describes as “domestic migrants”, code words for illegal aliens.  His next statement is proof positive that middleclass Americans have no representation.  Regarding the 82,000 illegals, Zook boasts that this is 16th best in the country, and “that’s a positive expression that people are coming to Arkansas”.  His position is un-American, at best.  

Zook’s next statement is designed to be accepted with no forethought.  “With 47% of the state’s budget, $2.277 Billion dedicated to K-12 general education and 37% of Arkansas’ third-graders not reading at 3rd grade level”.

“The biggest opportunity to improve and shore up the odds Arkansas’ youths won’t end up as “economic road kill”.  

So what does CEO Zook think the reasons are behind Arkansas’ kids brains being short circuited?  Could it be the massive numbers of 3rd World illiterate illegal aliens who have invaded the public school systems, obviously not speaking English and at the same time the NEA & the AEA have dumbed down the academic curricula to accommodate the illegals at the academic expense of American kids.  No amount of money will eliminate the academic implosion in the whole of the U.S.  Additionally, teachers are victims of the system they are allegedly teaching.  For proof Google Common Core.

As the Chambers of Commerce continue to advocate for government and corporate America, middleclass Americans are dying on the vine.  Of course, there is the healthcare burden created by illegals that the middleclass is paying for, accompanied by the criminal baggage the illegals bring.

There is no clamoring from the Tyson’s, the Walton’s, the Stephen’s, the delta plantation owners, etc. to aid in paying for the financial burdens the interlopers bring.   And certainly no hue & cry for border security and deportation.

To the Pied Piper and all his followers, there are no good jobs.  Through their unconstitutional efforts and the major political parties U.S. jobs have been exported to Third World havens around the globe…NEVER TO RETURN.  Recall NAFTA, i.e. “Free Trade”?

Advocates of Amnesty and open borders have all but destroyed and will destroy our once preeminent republic which is now little more than an International Settlement with the various tribes scurrying for their slice of the economic pie.  No America First sentiment or devotion.

More Vote-Buying & Political Pay-Offs

Leave a comment


GOVERNOR MIKE BEEBE AND THE ARKANSAS LEGISLATURE        October 17, 2013

Your proposal to shell out nearly $100 million to Arkansas teachers is immoral and unconstitutional.

This amounts to nothing but a raise for Arkansas teachers and they certainly do not deserve a pay raise.

From another point of view, the vast majority of teachers are Democrats and support Obamacare; therefore they should pay for their own increases in insurance premiums.

The arrogance you are showing in coddling the teacher unions is breathtaking and must be construed as a political payoff to teachers and their unions. It hasn’t been that long ago that Obama dispensed $93 million taxpayer dollars to the teachers of Arkansas. A totally undeserved largesse.

The Arkansas public school system is academically corrupt and the system’s area of influence is expanding yearly.

Just one example of academic corruption was reported recently in nationwide news that the public school system in Arkansas is implementing Common Core which amounts to Arkansas teachers indoctrinating students, in this case to eliminate or change the Bill of Rights, particularly the 1st & 2nd Amendments, e.g. sixth graders in the Bryant School District.  Is this not subversion?
 
It appears that you Governor and members of the legislature would better serve your constituents by being aware of what is going on in the public school system with reference to the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Rule of Law or perhaps you and the legislative members approve of the very academically destructive and mind-bending Common Core.

Teachers are not an endangered species; they have been a kept group for far too long, particularly in view of the state of public education.

Quit stealing from the producers.

The Vote-Buying Protection Racket

Leave a comment

Governor Mike Beebe & Ladies & Gentlemen of the Arkansas Legislature
October 15, 2013

Why are you preparing to provide most-favored status to Arkansas teachers and their ancillary help? 

Your proposals smack of the treatment that Obamacare affords the members of Congress & their staffs, coupled with the SEIU, certain favored corporations, and who knows what or who else.

Teachers on average are paid in salary 20.1% more than their private sector counterparts and that does not factor in the huge number of benefits that the private sector does not enjoy, only 186 working days per year, and of course job protection, i.e. the union protection racket.

Your proposals are a slap in every Arkansans face who are underwriting the failed government school system.

Teachers are not an endangered species, they should pay their way. Like other government types, you can’t run them off with a Louisville Slugger.

The fact that you can pull millions & millions out of various accounts once again proves unequivocally that Arkansans are grossly overtaxed.   What you are proposing is nothing short of VOTE-BUYING.

Clarksville refuses to lay down & die!

Leave a comment


Times Record Headline today…”Clarksville Not Giving Up”.        August 25, 2013

David Hopkins, the School Superintendent, is not going to roll over and play dead due to Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel’s decision not to allow public schools to arm themselves in self-defense.  McDaniel just painted a bull’s-eye on kids & teachers by declaring them essentially in a gun-free Zone.

Hopkins went to great lengths to have his staff properly trained and surveillance equipment installed, but that does not fit the anti-gun, anti-2nd Amendment politically correct crowd which runs much of government today.

Ironic isn’t it that the government constantly gets more funding because it’s always “FOR THE CHILDREN”….poppycock!  It’s always for their self-aggrandizement and this proves it beyond a doubt.  More free lunches, more computers, more advisors & counselors, more ESL classes, more athletic equipment, more everything, except a good solid education in the basics and most of all, no defense against being killed by a nutcase.
  
Ask yourself why the government PC crowd does not want to defend children’s lives…what are their motives and goals?  Why did AG McDaniel deny that ability to Clarksville or any other school?  Where are the other school officials & personnel…the principals, the endless assistants, the teachers themselves, all of whom could be targets too?  Is Hopkins the only Superintendent who actually cares more for his students’ & personnel’s lives than his own enrichment?  Where is the outcry in the face of recent bloody events?  Where is the governor and legislature?

If ever we have seen the raw, ugly face of politically correct collectivism this is it.  Individuals be damned, the collective demands “gun control”….translation, disarmament of citizens. (Funny how the deranged & criminal can always get weapons) Those belonging to the “collective” don’t dare voice any other opinion in the name of common sense or decency.  If they do they will lose tenure, or worse…they should ask themselves which is worse, losing a job or your life.

To think we have come to this….some ideological goal has become more important than the very lives of youngsters.  The “education” community and the public ought to circle the wagons around Superintendent Hopkins and demand their rights as individuals to their lives and the lives of their children…and run A.G. McDaniel out of town on a rail.

Governement School Offenses

Dr. Benny Gooden, coupled with the marauding Fort Smith Classroom Teachers Association, along with the Fort Smith School Board have instituted legalized theft once again.

The government Protection Racket is in full bloom and the aforementioned were awarded between 2.36% & 5.61% raises to Fort Smith school employees this date.

Government employees across the board already rake in 20-27.5% more than private sector employees who are subsidizing this metastasizing government behemoth.  How long has it been since the individuals subsidizing this grand legalized theft have received a raise and how many have lost employment, while government school employees rub salt into the wounds of the producers with regularity. You know, “cost of living”.

Government schools are failed institutions and their principal commodities are propagandizing, indoctrination and using their corrupt unions to navigate channels that produce political & economic gain, e.g. Ozark Assistant Superintendent & State Representative Bill Gossage who languishes in Little Rock for one school semester.   This can only be construed as insider trading and spending what amounts to a school semester in the Arkansas General Assembly, why is he employed by the Ozark school system?  This self-service is just a tip of the iceberg and an example of gross taxpayer abuse.

Recall when Obama dumped out billions for bail-outs and so called “Recoveries”.  Arkansas school teachers received $93 million distributed throughout the system on janitors and up—a nice corrupt $700 stipend for each school employee.  There was nothing to bailout in the school system and that $700 giveaway demonstrates the lack of character in the so-called education system and vote buying.

The Fort Smith School Board can only be construed as pawns of Gooden and these people often serve more as the employees of the teacher’s union than as their managers—case in point: the repugnant raise discussed above.

Not only have the public unions too often become the dominant partner in the relationship with elected officials, but the contract and the spending that goes with them set other policy agendas.

40% of the Arkansas state legislature is composed of government employees and/or individuals with government ties. Whose interests do you think they serve? Doesn’t say much for the voting public’s mentality does it?

More welfare plunder

More Welfare Plunder—not “public service” but self-service            April 11, 2013

It comes to pass that a 27 year old Arkansas State Representative (R) named John Burris, apparently employed part-time and receiving some sort of Arkansas healthcare welfare, who from all accounts is the architect of the upcoming additional One Quarter of a Million person healthcare “giveaway”.  It is said that Burris has been working on this scheme about ½ a day, every day for months to implement the 250,000 “giveaway”/plunder.

What sustains a 27 yr old State Rep. with no fulltime job and who is able to supersede seasoned legislators in an issue of this magnitude?

Giving Rep. Burris cover is House Majority leader Davy Carter (R).  It is said that Carter resigned a position from a lending institution to devote fulltime to Arkansas government.  Carter, a family man, poses the question what sustains him & his family economically?   Clearly he has higher political ambitions to spend his life ensconced in the taxpayers’ trough, as does Burris. More severe Term Limit legislation is desperately needed.

Rep. Carter glides in and out of both sides of the isle as if he were on a sheet of ice.
As you may recall, he’s the fellow who blindsided Rep. Terry Rice, the heir-apparent to the Speaker of the House.  That may be just politics to some, but to me it is self-serving, unethical behavior.

Then there is the matter of government employees removing themselves from their place of public employment for 5-6 months to function in the capacity of a legislator. This is arrogance and corrupt government. Two examples come to mind:  Representative Stephanie Malone who is employed by Ft. Chafee Redevelopment Authority and then there is State Rep. Bill Gossage, Assistant Superintendent of the Ozark Public Schools.  These are horrible examples of self-service and conflicts of interest and taxpaying citizens are being fleeced. There are numerous other examples.  At the very least they are guilty of ethical violations. It should be noted that Rep. Malone is fanning the flames for the extension of Term Limits.  FOIA’s revealed one pleasant fact, their bosses say they are not paying them while they languish in Little Rock for 5-6 months.

There is absolutely no justification for them to remain employed by government while they are serving in a legislative capacity. If they are not needed for 5-6 months at a time, they are not needed and should resign one or the other positions.  Apparently they are shills for government expansion.
Then comes the matter of Senator Joyce Elliott’s (D) bi-yearly promotion of in-state tuition for illegals & children of illegals. 

Two more of the plethora of big government mouthpieces (cheap labor, open borders) came to her aid in the failed Senate Bill endeavor.  Charles Welch, President of Ark. State Univ. opined on a number of occasions regarding the “investments” made in the illegals and children of illegals.  Bureaucrats and politicians love the word “investment”, i.e. spending taxpayer dollars and expanding their individual government entities.

Welch openly flouts U.S. law 8 USC, Sections 1325, 1324a, etc., as have other chancellors & presidents in Arkansas schools.

Following Welch was a fellow named Rich Nagle, the Executive Director of the Ark. Educational Assoc. Now that’s a collection of self-servers.  Nagle huffed & puffed & bloviated that Arkansans have a moral imperative to pass Elliott’s legislation, claiming Arkansas citizens need to remedy and fix a real injustice. (the injustice is to the taxpayers who foot the bills). Just what is the moral imperative?

Nagle was hired by the AEA to lobby for exactly these kinds of legislations to increase their funding, size, and political clout, all at taxpayer expense. The Government School System in Arkansas is a woefully failed endeavor (by design) and Ark. educational leaders & teachers are propagandizing and indoctrinating the minds of our young Arkansas citizens with their collectivist goals.

Welch & Nagle will be better served if they stay at home, mind their business & increase their proficiency in Constitutional teachings, and keep out of the affairs of beleaguered, over-burdened taxpayers.

It should be noted here Education Committee Chairman Representative Johnny Key (R) co-sponsored Elliott’s bill and instituted a below the belt move by demanding a voice vote which passed…one honest soul (congratulations) demanded a roll-call vote.  Elliott’s bill then failed.  Interestingly on the roll call vote, Key did not vote and the Con Con Chairman, Senator Jason Rappert (R) hid in the wings.

And finally, former Senator Gilbert Baker who is employed at UCA, typically with an inflated salary, apparently spends more time at the Capitol than a locust does on an oak tree, lobbying/influence peddling for Higher Education.

This is merely a microcosm of the self-serving collection of legislative whiz-kids working to pick our pockets.

NOT ONE OUT OF THIS COLLECTION HAS THE GUTS TO SAY NO TO OBAMA—SEBELLIUS—BEEBE—ROSS FOR THE PROPOSED MEDICAL/ECONOMIC RAPE OF ARKANSAS CITIZENS.
