City considers spending on non-essentials while neglecting needed essentials

FORT SMITH’S FUZZY MATH DOCTRINE: DIVERT—CREATE—OVERSPEND—EXPAND.

“AS LONG AS IT IS ADMITTED THAT THE LAW MAY BE DIVERTED FROM IT’S TRUE PURPOSE…THAT IT MAY VIOLATE PROPERTY INSTEAD OF PROTECTING IT, then,”……..Frederick Bastiat

CITY FINANCIAL MISMANGEMENT EMBEDDED IN A SEA OF QUASI HONESTY? November 4, 2014

The 1% Fort Smith city street tax was SPECIFICALLY designated for: construction of streets, bridges, existing waste water, sewer & drainage management!

In view of current Fort Smith city financial shortfalls and 3+ decades of ongoing discussions and threats of litigation by the EPA pertaining to major unresolved drainage problems in Fort Smith and the specificity of the 1% street tax that it demands, one would reasonably think at this point in time all drainage concerns would long since have been resolved, and for sure better streets. Not the case! Where did good management and the money go?! And by the way, Police & Fire Pensions are on the rocks. Where are the rainy day funds that would deal with such alleged shortfalls?

City Manager Ray Gosack offers no detailed explanation pertaining to the city’s financial shortfall. Gosack’s solution and apparently the City Directors, to satisfy the deficiencies is a balm that all politician/bureaucrats rely on—spend the totality of financial resources (no reserves), raise taxes and divert funds.

In this case a cogent example of the above—A 25% increase of existing utility fees…4% on water & sewer rates, raise franchise fees 25% for telephone service, electric, gas, & cable TV ¼ %. Also entertained by Gosack and Directors is the institution of a business license. The mandated upgrade of the city’s sewer system by the EPA is also in line for a tax raise. As previously mentioned, sewer deficiencies should have been resolved by the sewer systems portion of the 1% street tax.

Why is the City Board of Directors contemplating diverting 20% ($4 million) of the 1% street tax revenue to one new and 2 old programs and at the same time fanning the flames for multiple tax increases on residents?

1. The new–U.N. Agenda 21’s trails, bikeways, event nodes, wayfinding signs, quality of place, & a never ending list that grows government.
2. The old–Police & Fire pensions. Why would these two trust funds not be sacrosanct? Have the pension monies been spent on other projects or is it mismanagement? What was the previous source of funding for these pensions?
3. The Directors, in a vote buying scheme, are contemplating an across the board pay increase for 9,000+ city employees. Merit is not a consideration.

The city’s share of the county’s 1% tax ($11.68 million) was spent on what?

In view of the city’s alleged financial shortfalls, why would City Manager Gosack urge City Directors to entertain the idea of expanding government (costs and manpower) to launch a new campaign for a massive multi trails program to be used for not more than 0.1% of the urban population?

The city held 2 public hearings to gauge interest in the camouflaged trail scheme. The T.R. wrote “between the two meetings dozens of residents weighed in”. Dozens not hundreds…obviously not a success. Gosack would have city residents believe the opinions of a few dozen residents’ should reign supreme and speak for a metroplex of 150,000 residents.

What is really behind the sudden wave of interest in multi-purpose trails by a very select group representing 2 NGO’s (Non-Governmental Organizations), Trails & Greenways Committee & The Fort Smith Parks Commission—none of the aforementioned are elected, nor do they have any firsthand information regarding the city’s true financial status. Further reminding citizens that NGO’s remove citizen input & influence in dealing with the tenor of government business.

Two named Fort Smithians spoke in favor of the trail project: NGO Parks Commission Bryan Merry, “We really have to educate people”. To Merry, if you comprehend the ultimate goal of the trails project, which in all likelihood you do not, that would indeed be progress.

Merry & others should know and publicly admit that the trails project is a manifesto for the United Nations’ Agenda 21. Following Merry was a comment by Lorie Robertson, the Chair of the NGO Parks’ Commission, in a celebratory remark “The beauty of this is not being written into the main part of it”, referring to the extension of the1 cent sales tax? Apparently Robertson means that the voters will not read the back-end of the bill and will vote for the 1 cent bill, giving city government a carte blanche approval to spend 20% of the street/sewer tax to use as they deem on a nefarious trail program and a new source of funding for Fire & Police pensions, and perhaps more.

In the grand scheme, the recent extreme show of interest by City Manager Gosack and his sycophants is nothing more than a subterfuge to continue their pursuits of the United Nations’ Agenda 21, without revealing government’s real course of action.

Later, At Large Director Pam Weber said, “I really sense the community wants the trail system”. The city in alleged financial stress and Director Weber concludes that the opinions of 3-4 dozen people should decide for 150,000 residents.

The phrase “I sense” belongs in the same scrap heap where political “visions” & “values”, et al, lie.

An Agenda 21 cover-up—do the City Directors know what they are involved in? Probably not. It appears they have taken the bait thrown out by Gosack and have not taken the opportunity to research precisely what Agenda 21 entails and its goals which lead to the ultimate devastation of citizen’s freedoms and individual rights.

The misguided attitudes that the City Directors are now demonstrating is reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland, i.e.; all the city streets are fixed, the EPA has withdrawn their complaint, meaning waste water, overflow & sewer concerns have been corrected and voila everything is hunky dory in Marshall Town.

Really? Is it the intent of the City Directors under the spell of City Mgr. Gosack to tap into the city’s very specific 1% street tax and deploy millions of dollars, expand city government, give unconstitutional across the board raises to city employees, while subsidizing an array of freedom-killing Agenda 21 programs?

City leaders are proposing to neglect much needed citizen necessities in order to fund non-essential pack & stack projects offered up by the United Nations’ Agenda 21.

When you hear the word Sustainability be very wary. Sustainability is the call to arms by Agenda 21 luminaries.

Is city government engaged in or about to be engaged in the practice of malfeasance and/or misfeasance?

Forced mass medication is Unconstitutional

Leave a comment

Unconstitutionalities and medical malpractice practiced by the Fort Smith city government. October 25, 2014

Residents of Ward 4 held a townhall meeting Thursday night and one of the residents posed the question “Why they voted (city Directors) to fluoridate the city’s drinking water?” City voters have turned down the question of fluoridating city waters on 2 prior occasions and projects the question, why contaminate the country’s best water supply?

At-Large Director Kevin Settle responded “The state passed it, not the Board, so we have to follow state law”. “We actually had an Attorney General’s opinion that said state law overrode what the citizens voted for”. Note that A.G. McDaniel only rendered an opinion.
Accepting A.G. McDaniel’s opinion was a mealy-mouth response by Settle to the equally mealy-mouth opinion by McDaniel. By the way who wrote this unconstitutional & illegal law?

I submit that neither Settle nor McDaniel are demonstrating they fully understand the documents they swore to “uphold & defend”.
Clearly, both of their positions are unconstitutional pertaining to the U.S. & Arkansas State Constitutions. We are a country with a Constitution and Bills of Rights which absolutely define what is and what is not constitutional. Where is the proof that forced mass medicating of Fort Smith residents is in the Constitution?

Laws do not decide for themselves if they are valid.

Law holds value to those who create it, e.g. in this case, Delta Dental (an insurance company) and those Ark. State legislators which accepted money & perks allegedly going to their respective campaign funds for their support of Delta Dental. Another example of unbridled and wholesale vote buying in the Ark. State Legislature.

Did you know the purchase of Sodium Fluoride in medicinal form (liquid & tablet) requires a written prescription from licensed Ark. physicians?

Four things should be immediately addressed in meaningful terms:

1. A declarative statement from the F.S. City Board & the City Manager that they refuse to implement a fluoride mandate.
2. If the state of Arkansas proposes to engage in some sort of force (legal or policing agencies), and they would not dare, but in case they did they would quickly become a national laughing stock.
3. After all, dispensing fluoride on the authority of the F.S. City Government is a violation of national and state law, i.e. practicing medicine without a proper license.
4. Delta Dental (an insurance company) is subsidizing the start-up costs of adding fluoride to the water system. Why? After the start-up Fort Smith taxpayers assume the burgeoning tax liability.

As stated by Director Settle, itappears they are more than willing to go along with the state legislature, no meaningful questions asked, and continue to be a practicing part of the politicians’ & bureaucrats’ protection racket, disregarding the wishes of the citizens.

“Conspiracy” vs. the Facts

Leave a comment

NO IDEA AND AN ALLEGED CONSPIRACY VS. THE FACTS. October 15, 2014

My article of 9/11/14 pointed to the public fact that Fort Smith Police Chief Kevin Lindsey belonged to one or more international agencies (NGO’s) tied directly to United Nations’ Agenda 21.

International defined: between or among nations; pertaining to the relations between nations.

It must be mentioned again that Non-Governmental Organizations are appointed by elected officials, shirking their sworn Constitutional obligations, while at the same time selling out citizen ownership of government, citizen freedoms and direction of said government and are being buried under an avalanche of unconstitutional directives.

An email received from City Director Keith Lau 9/17/14 stated “I have no idea what you are talking about”, at which time I sent him a personal email detailing a list of questions regarding Chief Lindsey and the City Board of Directors. No response until a more detailed article was sent out 10/13/14. Director Lau’s response was immediate, signed respectfully and stated “I have no desire to spend any time on the aforementioned (Chief Lindsey) or any United Nations’ Agenda 21 conspiracy concerns you may have about the police department or Fort Smith city government”.

Is Director Lau denying or through political fear or ignorance, refusing to admit or discuss the fact that the Fort Smith city government is knowingly or unknowingly buried under Agenda 21 protocols?

Fact 1. Speaking to the League of Women Voters 9/8/14 Chief Lindsey stated, “the first, he said, is having a third party international accreditation agency (ICA) review the department’s policies, protocols every 3 years”. What protocols and upon whose authority?
Fact 2. Lindsey again, “A lot of these policies are best practices regarding training”. What training & purpose & where?

Fact 3. The city of Fort Smith belongs to THE COMMISSION ON ACCREDITATION FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT (CALEA). CALEA make adjustments whenever necessary to meet a body of international accepted standards.

Fact 4. The FSPD was the first in the state of Arkansas to join CALEA. Another unelected NGO, one of several the FS city government has turned over to other agencies, again diverting their sworn delegated authority to unelected tactical overlords, accompanied by considerable expense to private sector citizens. Membership and continuation fees are an integral part of the contract CALEA demands. CALEA banters the phrase “HARMONIZED STANDARDS” (internationally everything is the same)

Fact 5. Citizens, where do you believe the following terms were hatched; Quality of Place, Sense of Place, Event Nodes, Bikeways & Wayfinding Signs? All come and hundreds more from the Agenda 21 Sustainable lexicon

Fact 6. The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) of which Chief Lindsey is a member, works directly with the United Nations and has acquired “Consultative Status”. This was accomplished in the 1970’s.

Fact 7. The Fort Smith police department is militarized.

Fact 8. No citizen accountability pertaining to the political activities of the FSPD.

Why is the city government of Fort Smith, AR collaborating with international agencies and why the cover-up?

Two quotes from Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn: “The federal government should have no role in arming local law enforcement agencies. The Founders saw no role for the federal government in state & local police forces—None!” “We are on dangerous ground of undermining the very principles that built the country”.

And this quote from my friend, constitutional scholar, Mike Gaddy sums it up:

“All who believe in individual liberty and that sovereignty lies with the individual rather than any form of government, have all seen it: that look of incredulity when we provide factual cognitive evidence that someone’s strongly held belief, based on pure emotion is incorrect. We watch as that belief transforms the person into attack mode. Intellectual discussion suddenly reverts to name calling and other behavior commonly found in the second grade classroom. Instead of an intellectual equal we are maliciously transformed into anarchists, conspiracy nuts, racists, homophobes or some other derogatory term. When one’s intellectual capabilities have been exceeded or sacred cow attacked retaliation by derision is favorite mode of redress. When the emotional side of the brain takes command, cognitive discourse must yield”.

The city of Fort Smith appears to be a captive of the globalists.

The Mongrelization of America

Leave a comment

Mongrel—any plant, animal, or thing of mixed breed or elements.

September 24, 2014

The U.S., fast-tracking toward a mongrel society, otherwise known as “Diversity”—and by design—to “Harmonize (reducing all Americans to a common denominator).

Diversity—A germ that was unleashed on American citizens by the Federal Government who willfully refuse to enforce the Constitution & rule of law and is the practice that is killing America.

Third & fourth world hordes, legal & illegal, continue their massive invasions to America, replete with a welcoming committee composed of government officianados at every level, e.g. President Obama, the Cultural Marxist Democrat Party, and of course the irrelevant warlock Republican Party.

The U.S. Constitution, accompanied by 8 USC, Sections 1324a, 1324c, 1325, & 1459, demand that our borders be secure and illegal aliens dealt with in a court of law. More evidence of selective law enforcement by the 16 federal law enforcement agencies. Is it ironic that one of the agencies, the U.S. Marshall Service, showed up at a 9/19/14 naturalization ceremony in Fort Smith for 78 immigrants and shook down American citizen spectators? Why aren’t these so-called public servants stationed on the southern border? What the U.S. Marshalls were engaged in is commonly called “conditioned response”—get the citizens used to seeing gun-toting government employees everywhere their eyes may turn and to being frisked. Recall the Marshall Service involvements in Ruby Ridge, Waco, the Bundy Ranch, and other such questionable incidents.

Now to the matter of mongrelization. Yesterday Times Record 9/23/14 headline: “School boss notes changes”. What are the changes?

Recall Fort Smith Superintendent Benny Gooden, famous for his unlawful positions on illegal immigration, “We will take all we can get”, referring to illegal Mexicans & OTM’s. So what did boss man Gooden’s bravado help bring us?

These statistics say it all & are only a microcosm:
1. The Fort Smith school system (international) 14,300 students
2. 2004-05 school year = 56.5% Caucasian student body
3. 2013-14 school year = 43.3% Caucasian student body
4. The above numbers represent a 13.2% reduction in the Founding stock, replaced by 3rd & 4th world nationals that travel on the backs of the diminishing white population, particularly the middleclass.
5. 5,000 of the students live in non-English speaking environments
6. 72% last year qualified for “free lunches”. Percent of whites receiving not given.
7. 30% was the number of “free lunches” in 1991.

The “Boss” speaks topically in educanto buffoonery pertaining to “Benchmarks”. He states the Fort Smith Public Schools ACT score is 21.9 while the national average is 21. The question arises, are the 5,000 students being raised in non-English speaking environments being included in the ACT score? It is highly doubtful.

As whites are becoming more submerged daily in our own country by legal & illegal 3rd & 4th world invading armadas, are we to believe these folks (mostly illiterate) can and will sustain what Caucasians have created & sustained, i.e. the most productive society in the history of man based on our Founding Principles? If the answer is yes, will their spokespersons tell us how and by what means?

Furthermore; how long before corrupt politicians & bureaucrats kill the economic golden goose, i.e. the dwindling American middleclass that provides most of the unearned largesse forcibly taken & dispensed to the 3rd & 4th world masses?

By the way, does anyone ever recall being asked by any politician or bureaucrat what your thoughts and positions are re: providing meals, healthcare, food stamps, rent, computers, language translators, cell phones, free prenatal care/services, ad infinitum to the unapologetic thankless hordes of legals & illegals?

Public schools and its employees are nothing more than money pits. In view of the stark data shown above, the F.S. School Board (actually the Boss) is planning a $60-75 million high school campus in Chaffee Crossing which can only be labeled OVERKILL.

The economic producers that subsidize the Overkills are being attacked at every degree on the compass rose. Will Americans ever awaken to the ongoing highway robbery orchestrated by politicians & bureaucrats?

Registered letter to Mayor re: internationalism/police dept.

Leave a comment

Mayor Sandy Sanders
623 Garrison Ave
Fort Smith, AR 72901

Mayor Sanders, September 14, 2014

It came to my attention last week in the T.R., as was the case with many other Fort Smithians, that the Fort Smith Police Department was and is under the thumb of an Internationalist body under the watch of Chief Kevin Lindsey.

That you, the official Board of Directors, and the City Manager, collectively have allowed this dubious act to occur is indeed unfathomable. When did Americans begin to allow foreign nationals to run their respective governments?

The act is, by any standard, is unconstitutional, therefore; a betrayal of the trust Fort Smithians have had in your reign as Mayor, the City Board and the FSPD.

It is on this basis that I am asking you, as the titular head of the Fort Smith city government specific questions regarding the turnover of a portion or maybe the whole of the Fort Smith city government to foreign powers—foreign citizens, likewise governments, N.G.O.’s, etc.

It is hoped the unconstitutional act was accomplished without malice or forethought. Furthermore; I am hopeful you Mayor, the City Manager, and other city officials will answer my questions promptly, without rancor or obfuscation.

Questions:
1. Who was or is the local elected or bureaucratic authorizing authority to turn over the FSPD to an International body?
2. What was the (law, regulation, acts, etc.) authorizing authority that led to the accomplishment of the above?
3. Were you, Mayor Sanders, or any of the Board of Directors supportive of the take over?
4. What is City Manager Ray Gosack’s position on the International takeover of the FSPD?
5. Are there financial considerations involved in being a member of the Internationalist body?
6. What is the name of the Internationalist body and the names & countries of the officers of said body?
7. Is this a tentacle of Agenda 21—“Sustainable Development”, Non-Government Organizations (NGO’s), “Regional Development”? All unelected, holding Fort Smith citizens hostage.
8. Aside from the F.S. city government, is the U.S. federal government aligned with the Internationalist body?
9. As elected representatives of Fort Smith, why were each of your constituencies not made aware of your un-American, unconstitutional activity?
10. I would be pleased to be made privy of any other information surrounding the takeover of the FSPD and any other F.S. government entities also taken over by the U.S. federal government and/or an internationalist body, if any.
11. What did or does the city government receive in return for the unconstitutional citizen sellout?

What you Mayor, and the elected Gentlemen & gentlewoman have allowed to take place under your government aegis is indeed way past sobering, i.e. you would sellout citizens in the dark of night, knowingly or unknowingly to international powers.

I look forward to a prompt and detailed answer to my questions, sent to me by mail.

Cities play game: You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours!

Leave a comment

A Reciprocal game they play.

Fort Smith, AR City Manager Ray Gosack takes another bite out of the Federal Government lexicon while trying to justify raises for city employees without salient facts. September 4, 2014

Gosack using his 2nd edition of Orwellian government doublespeak in his campaign for a city employee raise.

The words “leakage” and “pay adjustments” jump out. “Leakage” is designed to replace the accepted English words quit and/or fired, and “pay adjustments” likewise; rather than the time honored salary or pay increases.

The above words are designed to be more malleable.

Recall: The 1st edition of the Orwellian government doublespeak that citizens were bombarded with “quality of place”, “sense of place”, “event nodes”. Gosack must think he is Winston Smith (1984) whose job it is to propagandize.

Gosack uses a misleading premise in making his case for employee pay raises absent a public foundation on which to support.

Gosack states city employees have had no pay raises for four years. Cost of living increases ranging from 1 ½ % to 3% per year have been given. These are pay raises no matter what you call them.

Gosack continues, “Fort Smith compares its salaries with about ten other cities across the U.S.” Here Gosack is attempting to make the point that the city is making an honorable attempt to remain in the format of acceptable pay scales. More obfuscation.

By this alleged method city leadership protects themselves from the public by being able to retort, “we are paying what we have to”, or “that’s what everyone else is paying”

All cities are wildly diverse in their makeups. Population demographics—old, young, percentage of 3rd worlders, education, employment vs. unemployment, agrarian vs. manufacturing, natural resources, and the existing tax base. In government there is always the tendency to overstaff throughout, which is certainly the case of Fort Smith. This is only a partial list of considerations that should dictate pay increases.

What happens in Joplin, MO; Rockford, IL; Paducah, KY; Jonesboro, AR; Peoria, IL; etc. offers no foundation for determining salaries or pay scales for Fort Smith, AR. City Government, stand on your own two feet.

Typically, all governments pay their employees on average 22% more than those laboring in comparable jobs in the private sector. That includes cash and perks.

Gosack further states, “We are slipping behind”. Gosack registers no concern regarding middleclass woes, i.e. unemployment, underemployment, salaries that plateaued 10 years ago and these are the folks who pay for the overprotected & proliferating government sectors.

Specifically, for Gosack & the City Directors: Produce statistics relevant to the relationship between city government salaries and private sector salaries of like or similar job skills at all levels and allow the taxpaying citizens to view the results. Included would be dollars paid, health insurance, paid holidays, sick days and days off, vacations, in some cases use of vehicles, retirement, etc.

If the City Directors who claim to be doing the work of the citizens do not demand Gosack produce the above statistics for citizen viewing they can only be described as counterfeit representatives.

The above statistics can be procured simply by calling the open borders, cheap labor outfit commonly called the Fort Smith Chamber of Commerce. They most certainly can tell the city residents how many illegals permeate our job market, along with other specific requests, and that it costs $20,500 per school year to keep an illegal in the government school system. (This statistic comes from the U.S. General Accounting Office).

City Government, produce honest salary appraisals.

When two constitutional illiterates meet!

Leave a comment

Two Constitutional illiterates met and the ensuing aftermath.

Last evening a town hall meeting was held in Fort Smith, AR. August 21, 2014

The guest speaker was U.S. Rep. Steve Womack (R) Rogers, AR.

Rep. Womack was asked how he and the Republican Party could square their position on Tort Reform in view of the 7th & 10th Amendments. Republicans position on Tort Reform is to allow U.S. government bureaucrats to set arbitrary, limited, binding awards on personal injury and malpractice.

Womack refused to answer the aforementioned question which was posed numerous times. Finally, Womack capitulated on his position on Tort Reform by stating he was not there to answer questions; thereby retreating. Then why was he there?

For those of you who are not constitutionally savvy, the 7th Amendment demands, among other things, “in Suits at Common Law, where the value in controversy shall exceed $20, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved”.

It is crystal clear that Republican stalwarts are ignorant of the Constitution and/or they view it as an impediment. An impediment, which prevents them from satisfying the unconstitutional demands of physician groups, insurance companies and corporate America, while betraying in this case, middleclass Arkansans, but not limited to.

The 10th Amendment: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the State, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people”.

Womack further stated, “Congress makes the laws, the President signs the law and it is the law of the land until it is litigated in court”. Congressman Womack continued to show he is in a forest of ignorance.

If Womack and his peers are/were knowledgeable pertaining to the U.S. Constitution, why would the Congress pass laws in direct opposition to the Constitution? Whether it be through ignorance or illegality the results are the same—an attack on American independence & jurisprudence.

Womack’s position is indeed ironic: this man has served as the mayor of Rogers, AR for a number of years, U.S. Army Reserve for many years and now serving in the U.S. Congress. How many times has Congressman Womack sworn allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, but still has no comprehension of what the Constitution demands.

University of Arkansas (Ft. Smith) Chancellor Paul Beran made his way to the townhall meeting surrounded by a coterie of illegal Mexicans & perhaps OTM’s flaunting the Constitution and projecting an in-your-face hubris toward middleclass taxpayers.

In the discussion pertaining to illegal immigration Beran exclaimed our Southwest borders cannot be secured. Beran’s statement flies in the face of the rule of law and U.S. sovereignty. Most certainly U.S. borders can be secured! The legal mechanism is in place. All that is needed is enforcement orchestrated by the two cowardly political parties and the Cultural Marxist Barack Obama. Beran, like most, if not all pseudo-educators, is by his own admissions & activities can be rightfully described as a Cultural Marxist and that puts him in the company of U of A flagship President G. David Gerhart who has on more than one occasion spoken in favor of the illegal alien mass invasions and has brought them to Fayetteville for a mass demonstration in a brazen show of illegal bravado, knowing full well the laws would not be enforced.

Recall Fort Smith Superintendent Benny Gooden, who a number of years ago also brazenly stated, “We’ll take all we can get” referring to illegal Mexicans and OTM’s.

The Republican Party and self-serving bureaucrats such as Paul Beran are nothing more than shills for corporate America and the Chambers of Commerce, shipping American jobs internationally and importing uneducated, poverty-stricken foreign national 3rd World illegals—an absolute betrayal of the American Middleclass and the ultimate demise of Western Civilization.

If you value our liberty, property rights, free speech, self-determination, and our culture then the likes of the two constitutional no-shows at last evening’s townhall meeting are a very dangerous breed.

Continue to elect & hire the likes of the two mentioned above, you travel at your own peril.

IT’S GLOBAL TO LOCAL.

Future looks bright for those receiving tax funds, not those “giving”.

Leave a comment

Guest editorial in today’s T.R. by banker Sam Sicard, titled “Future looks bright for Fort Smith” (another marshmallow served up by the Times Record)

Editorial murky, devoid of specifics and in a number of areas fail the smell test. (August 20, 2014)

Two examples should make the point: He cites the proposed Marshal Museum behemoth as a “game changer”. How so?

1. Initially the MM was billed as a private enterprise project—what happened? Over $3 million of middleclass Arkansas taxpayers’ money has been dumped into this project. Those monies do not include the huge taxpayer costs entailed in the minting, distribution and sale of the MM commemorative coins.
More taxpayer abuse?
The big questions are: who are the owners of the MM, what are the contingency plans for the MM should it reach fruition and/or then fails to fly? Are the plans to dump it on Sebastian County/Fort Smith for the takeover in the event of failure, or the state, or the feds? Citizens deserve answers.

2. Young Mr. Sicard alludes to the softball complex at Chaffee Crossing. Available information states that one Republican office holder, i.e. State Senator Jake Files, and one Democrat office holder, Sebastian County Democrat Committee Chairman Lee Webb have been given the right to develop and manage the aforementioned softball complex. A strange marriage. Why? The softball complex operation will generate hundreds of thousands of dollars yearly from ticket sales, entry fees, concessions, parking, ad infinitum, replete with no taxpayer accountability. From all appearances, this is a political payoff & citizen abuse for Files’ obtaining state funds for the Marshal’s Museum? Why aren’t the taxpayers financially benefiting from this enterprise?

Certainly as a banker, Sicard understands that public/private partnerships are defined as Fascism—a nexus between corporations & government where the government is the CEO. He alludes to the softball complex as an example of private/public partnerships. Weak indeed, Mr. Sicard.

With all the attention focused on entertainment in Fort Smith, i.e. more government spending and insider trading and little to no citizen oversight, where are the efforts to bring in new jobs instead of the goals of the Chambers of Commerce to bring in more cheap labor illegals to overrun every aspect of our community to satisfy big business, e.g. OK Foods, Simmons, Tysons, et al?

Finally, how many thousands of illegal children & adults will be dumped into Fort Chaffee? With taxpayer funded Catholic Charities and Baptist Enterprises reaping millions of dollars printed out of thin air?

Only the tip.

the “Sustainable” Vampire attacks

Leave a comment

>YES, THEY WILL

…IMPLEMENT U.N. AGENDA 21’S SUSTAINABILITY CORRUPT HOAX WITH NO REGARD FOR THE WELL-BEING OF INDIVIDUAL FORT SMITH CITIZENS.

POLITICAL THEATER & CITIZEN BETRAYAL BY THE FORT SMITH CITY GOVERNMENT. August 10, 2014

The United Nations’ (U.N.) Agenda 21 finally rears its ugly head emanating out of the back halls of city government with City Manager Ray Gosack as the Conductor.

The subject is Agenda21’s much ballyhooed, deceptive “Sustainability”.

Who could be against “sustainability”? Of course no one, if citizens’ definition of Sustain is accepted, but as in all things the United Nations and the Federal Government give a whole new meaning to the word “sustain”, and when the width & depth of their crafted definition is diagramed it surreptitiously means the theft of our Natural and Constitutional rights—the right to property ownership & use, the right of physical movements, riparian rights, housing demands (stack & pack), the right of choice in transportation modes, food selectivity, international awareness & control of our every movement, etc. DO THE RESEARCH! Specific information is available on multiple Agenda 21 websites. Tom DeWeese is a great starting point www.americanpolicy.org Also www.securearkansas.com.

The Ft. Smith City Board is political and not to be trusted, e.g. most recently the proposed library fraud encompassing a stacked political deck.

Coming down out of the Ozark hills to a proposed meeting with the Fort Smith Mayor & City Directors are 2 high paid ministers of globalist propaganda, Michelle Halsell & Peter Nierengarten. First Halsell: She is the Director of the U of A’s Fayetteville “Applied Sustainability Center”. Some of her globalist activities include teaching in Paris, France and formerly serving as Tyson Poultry’s D.C. international representative. By her own description detailed on the U of A website, she is “certified in Appreciative Inquiry & used AI as a tool for multi-stakeholder engagements around sustainability”. (Anyone who has read Orwell will recognize her Newspeak…all designed to confuse the public)

Notice that in all conversations emanating from the mouths of government, at all levels, there is no concern for the rights of individual citizens, only for the Collective.

She is a Black Widow and people of her ilk are at work destroying our Constitution & Bill of Rights.

Second: the other fellow traveler is Peter Nierengarten who occupies a similar position as Halsell in the Fayetteville, AR city government. He is Fayetteville’s City Director for Sustainability & Resilience. (More “Emperor’s New Clothes”.)

Speaking for Sustainable Arkansas (More Emperor’s New Clothes) Nierengarten said “But if you want an even better score, these are some low-hanging fruit that can be done in terms of ordinances or regulations or just programs the city could offer to up your game.” (Note the words ordinances, regulations, programs and the word “game”.…more government strong-arming.) This guy, as in the case of the woman, is nothing more than high paid shills for Globalism, compliments of unsuspecting citizen taxpayers.

The above 2 individuals are reeking their Constitutional havoc at considerable taxpayer expense and only represent a microcosm of similar national & international projects.

Agenda 21 (SUSTAINABILITY) is already embedded in most American cities and in all probability this is the case in Fort Smith and comes with a dollar membership fee.

Fort Smith City Mayor and Directors are in league with a plethora of government unions, (every division has one). City government does the bidding for unions that set policies that implement & mandate laws & regulations— all without citizens’ general knowledge, much less specifics. The Arkansas Municipal League supports “Sustainability’—all are self-serving and all city governments dance to the attendance of their respective unions & the Chambers of Commerce.

Does anyone believe that City Manager Ray Gosack, Mike Alsup, Richard Griffin, et al coined the phrases QUALITY OF PLACE, SENSE OF PLACE, OR EVENT NODES? Of course not. These phrases and many other similar ones were conceived by the U.N.’s Agenda 21, look no further than Richard Florida and former N. Little Rock Mayor Patrick Hayes, former National president of ICLEI (a major division of Agenda 21/Sustainability) & now a candidate for the U.S congress. They are just 2 of the major disseminators of U.N.’s Agenda 21 lies. ICLEI stands for International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives. (note the word…International)

American citizens have no inkling as to the national destruction being precipitated by the implementation of “Sustainability” and city governments are taking full advantage of this fact to further advance power, influence and size of government. Ft. Smith City Mayor & Directors will bow to the Cultural Marxists and betray citizens through the implementation of the Agenda 21, perhaps already hatched.

Prior meetings where the subject was Sustainability (Agenda 21) gave birth to the following quotes: statements from 3 City Directors: Ward 2 Director Good said “I really like the idea of us lending ourselves to the whole Arkansas effort”. Two questions: Does anyone believe that Director Good has a comprehensive understanding of the word Sustainability and exactly what is the “whole Arkansas effort”? At Large Director Settle asked how to combat the program’s appearance of being unfriendly to developers with an increase in regulations? Nothing about citizens’ natural rights and the Director uses the word “appearance”—appearance you say? Ward 1 Keith Lau described the program as “A great idea”…tell us how it is a great idea director.

The above quotations demonstrate the mentality of our local citizen government.

THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT UNMASKS THE VAMPIRE OF “SUSTAINABILITY”…”THE PROGRAM WOULD OFFER 3RD PARTY CERTIFICATION FOR CITIES BASED UPON AREAS RELATED TO SUSTAINABILITY LIKE ENERGY EFFICIENCY, WATER STEWARDSHIP, WASTE MINIMUMIZATION, LAND USE, AND HEALTH TO NAME A FEW”…..CONTROL, CONTROL, CONTROL.

    In addition to absolute control over citizens’ rights & wealth a nexus between government & corporations is being formed & governments are the CEOS…otherwise known as Fascism. Peel back the years and give a look at Nazi Germany in 1939…what’s happening now in our republic is a mirror image of the happenings in Nazi Germany.

Library tax hoax in progress…will taxpayers take the bait?

THE LIBRARY HOAX. August 10, 2014

A projected hijacking without a mask & gun in broad daylight. Of course it is the proposed library tax brought to Fort Smith citizens, at least in part by the Mayor & Board of Directors.

Some citizens have stated that at least 2 members of the official library board have not read the projected budget which is based on an additional $2.8 million in tax money. The chief architects of this grand theft are Library Director Jennifer Goodson & her lackeys.
If the tax is passed in the first year it will produce a $1 million in surplus funds. This figure does not include projected taxes on new homes, new businesses, increases in population, etc.

Chief librarian Goodson should understand that English is the official language of the USA, yet she has outlined in the budget an ongoing budget of $40,000 per year for Spanish language books (illegal Mexicans & other Hispanics) and an additional ongoing $40,000 per year for Vietnamese language books. Taxpayers are in no way constitutionally or morally obligated to spend money in this manner.
She wants to spend $50,000 for customer Self-Check stations at all 4 libraries (reason given: “because some people prefer to self-check themselves out”.

THE EASIEST JOB IN THE WORLD IS SPENDING OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY AND SELF-SERVING BUREAUCRATS LIKE JENNIFER GOODSON SHOULD BE FIRED ON THE SPOT.

If this tax is implemented the average salary of library employees will be $38,400! Many entry level school teachers & attorneys are not afforded that kind of salary. Included in this salary are the library’s coffee jerks (money losing cafe).

This diatribe could proceed on factually for hours, but readers of this piece should be able to see in the wink of an eye the flimflamming going on in the city library of Fort Smith, AR.

Goodson wants to hire 14 new employees at an average salary of $37,800.

Goodson is proposing $200,000 for raises for current staff to get their salaries “up to market level”. Which “market level” is she referring to? Muldrow, Jonesboro, Chicago or New York? Goodson, a self-serving bureaucrat seems to have no concerns about middleclass Fort Smithians, many of whom have had no raises in an extended time frame and are the ones who subsidize her egregious demands.

This is another instance of government corruption painted with the broad brush of “We Need”, which has no factual basis whatsoever: therefore how many Fort Smithians do you suppose will stupidly give Ms. Goodson & her lackeys $4.213 million (& growing) per year to feather their unseemly political & economic nests?

As with all government, THE FIX IS IN.

P.S. as previously stated these ludicrous expenditures that have been cited are just the tip of the iceberg.
