THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA, THEN AND NOW

Leave a comment

November 1, 2024 THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA THEN AND NOW

A SYNOPSIS: THIS MISSIVE DEMANDS THAT A POINT OR TWO OR MORE BE MADE BY ME, MY NAME IS JOE McCUTCHEN, BORN IN FORT SMITH, ARKANSAS, 12/06/1931. PARENTS WERE DR. H.H. McCUTCHEN & DELLAN , AND BROTHER DAN McCUTCHEN, ALL DECEASED.

THEN: The McCutchen’s arrived in North America in the late 1600’s. Their first at being accepted by the new America was after they successfully defended against the Indians’ incursions into a parcel of land, later to be known Pennsylvania and they were presented 920 acres of land still in a McCutchen family in the Shenandoah Valley for serving as a buffer that prevented penetration by Indians
.
McCutchen’s produced relatively large families, some moved west to Virginia and settled near Lexington, Virginia. Some of my ancestors were buried in the North Mountain Burying Ground outside of Lexington. I restored that cemetery in the early 2,000’s. Some of the McCutchen’s continued to move westward. Within a few years, i.e. mid 1800’s landed in Scott County, Arkansas. This was my great grandfather’s family homestead, a 40-acre plot. My grandfather hacked out a homestead just east of Abbot, Arkansas and soon Great Grandfather Searight, Grandfather Joseph McCutchen and his boys built a road off the government trail to the top of the third hump of the Poteau Mountain Range, which is named McCutchen Mountain. The orchards on top of McCutchen Mountain were a grand success and it was not uncommon for he and the boys would send 17 wagons loaded with fruit to outlying villages ranging out 25 miles. This would have been in the early 1890’s
.
Great Grandfather Searight joined the Confederacy in 1864 and rode with General Nathan Bedford Forest in his cavalry brigade.

Three of grandfather’s sons left the mountain, traveled to Washington, DC to enroll in Georgetown University at different intervals. The first of the three was Grady McCutchen, followed by Duvall and H.H. McCutchen. The student body and a few of the professors made sport of Uncle Grady, calling him an ignorant Arkansas hillbilly! In the end all three graduated with honors and my father H.H. graduated from two universities on the same day. Uncle Grady served in the Navy in WWI. My father served in the Navy for a short time and was told by his superiors he was needed more as a dentist back in Arkansas than at his present duties. My cousin John G. McCutchen was killed in a bomber crash in WWII. I served 3 years in the Army and was an Aide in part of my service to Lt. General Rush B. Lincoln, commanding general of the U.S. Army Transportation Corps. Everything in the Army that moved and flew was under his command. The General chided me about being from Arkansas, which was the birthplace of Gen. Douglas McArthur in Little Rock, Arkansas. You see, General Lincoln was all time 2nd at the Point and General McArthur was all time 1st at said West Point and that became a burr under General Lincoln’s saddle.

NOW: There are different classes of Americans. There are Americans like I am happy to say that love this Republic and will do anything to preserve it, i.e. the McCutchen’s. What is happening today I predicted 65 years ago but never in my dreams would I have imagined such trash as Harris/Walz would be seeking the presidency of the United States in their quest for name, power, and obliteration of our Republic. Then there are natural born Americans who in no way cherish this wonderful Republic, (the Democrats) and there are foreigners who came here legally and incredibly are challenged and become loving productive citizens, then there are those natural born Americans who live on other’s efforts, i.e. welfare, followed by 3rd world illegals who are miscreants and parasites i.e. worthless. The year 2023 illegals cost American citizens $150 Billion dollars and HARRIS wants to confer amnesty on at least 14 million illegals that she let in!

What stimulated me to write this missive? I was deeply hurt by the individual who has no respect for self or country. At the same time this person is acting as an official representative of the citizens of Fort Smith, Arkansas and I concluded that he is non-compos mentis of common etiquette and certainly does not possess citizen concerns. He does not understand the demands and the expectations the Constitution makes on citizens and officials. He abuses citizens and his position, and he is committing a crime against 8 USC, Section 1324a pertaining to illegals.

In my sixty-five years trying to ameliorate the illegal Mexican and OTMs invasion that he illegally supports and dealing in illegals. Fort Smith is a Sanctuary city! The City Board, the City Manager and Mayor all lie by denying the city is in fact a long time Sanctuary City!

In those sixty-five years of campaigning against illegals, my wife and I had one major victory, we defeated Michigan Republican U.S. Senator Spencer Abraham. I spent a year in Michigan working small towns, newspapers, flying over the Michigan/Michigan State Football game dragging a banner admonishing fans not to support illegal immigration, same for the Ste St Marie bridge back and forth because that was a Labor Day holiday for politicians to walk the bridge and show they were dedicated public servants, oh yes. And other similar types of messages. Senator Abraham, while in the Senate filled our country with sand Muslims, and other Arabs (mostly illegals) e.g. many in Fort Smith’s Westark Jr. College. Major Muslim cities in Michigan are Dearborn, Hamtramck, Greater Detroit and many other varieties. Major News Media gave Barbara & I credit for the victory. When we went to bed that evening Spence was 12 points ahead and we were obviously disappointed. When we arose the next morning Spence had been defeated by 5 points, just as I had predicted, but he had already done his damage.

Now to another point: George McGill, the Mayor. The City Board gives this nefarious city official an obscene $668,481 yearly to be spent in any manner at his pleasure, when the city’s real debt is just south of $1 Billion, or maybe north of. (who knows?) The Mayor, the City Manager and the City Board are all guilty for carrying on this obscene and vulgar practice. The fact is that this man should never be given this amount of money. “You can’t fix Stupid”. Additionally, he is paid a salary of over $100,000, i.e. life insurance, medical insurance, automobiles, etc. Couple this to the $800 million city debt to the Feds, plus other multitudinous debts and continued spending like a drunken sailor. The City Government is not disciplined and said debts will never be paid. The result is the city, at some point in the near term, will be seized by the Feds.

His abuse of accepting $668,481 on such immoral, anti-American illegal unconstitutional expenditures cut deeply. For example, the Mexican questionable holiday Cinco de Mayo ($5,000), the Mercy Ball ($10,000), Catholics are one of major supporters of the illegal Mexican invasion. This event was for the Downtown Suits and other social shakers. La Raza, an international Mexican organization is one that facilitates the illegal Mexican invasions and is one in the city of Fort Smith. Their presence in Arkansas is substantial along with LULAC and the Mexican Consulate in Little Rock which serves as a distribution point for illegals to be sent to Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee and of course Arkansas for cheap labor. Word in Fort Smith is that the Mayor’s McGill Center, is an anchor that serves as a distribution center for some alleged services for illegals and it is further said cash flows through that organization. Taxpayer money and services distributed to illegal Mexicans by any means is a felony.

Who is funding the McGill operation and where is it going?

Our former esteemed Governor Huckabee, a collaborator in the construction of the Mexican Consulate in Little Rock, along with then Mexican President Vicente Fox and 4 Little Rock businessmen and not hard to guess who the 4 are/were. Huckabee was asked to speak at the Lulac Convention in Little Rock. Here is a remark he made: “Pretty soon, Southern white guys like me may be in the minority” Huckabee said jokingly as the crowd roared in laughter. He said Arkansas needs to make the transition of the traditional Southern state to one that recognizes and cherishes diversity in culture, in language and population. Huckabee is a hypocritical forked tongue.

Uncontrolled diversity is Fools Gold.

A TALE OF THE MONKEYS

Leave a comment

THE TALE OF THE MONKEYS October 11, 2024

To begin with the Chief Monkey has spent $7 Trillion taxpayer dollars this calendar year. Of course, the U.S. Government does not have a dime of real cash.

The 435 micro-monkeys spent $2 Trillion over this year’s budget, which ended the month of September.

What about the 100 alpha monkeys? They sit in their Royal Chambers planning their next fact-finding missions, always coupled to ultimate dining experiences, same for hotels and travel to all the far-off cities.

What I am about to say to make my point so you will understand the magnitude of the point. The U.S. is not a peaceful nation and never has been. We are a warring nation. Case in point, my personal opinion is if Donald Trump is not elected President of these 50 states in November it will be a most terrible day for our once beautiful Republic and its citizens. One more time, the U.S. national government is in the arrears for $44 Trillion dollars that will never be paid unless it decides to seize a percentage of every American’s wealth to satisfy our long overdue national debt and that is exactly what is going to happen.

As I speak, the House and Senate are preparing legislation that will bring back conscription, both men and women and forced vaccination of females with MRNA. America’s motto is “Eternal War for Eternal Peace”. In full bloom is the devastating National Defense Authorization Act which allows for the destruction of America’s Free Speech, Censorship, and strong-armed punishment including torture, already in use.

There are 2 potential eternal wars that have the capacity to precipitate absolute and total destruction. Israel First: the U.S. has provided $6.5 Billion since the war started one year ago, Oct. 7th. Israel has expanded the Gaza and West Bank war and now Lebanon, Syria, and Iran. Netanyahu’s design is to commit genocide on all Palestinians and Lebanese for total control of most of the Mideast.

Folks, the Jews are not victims. On 9/23 the U.S. sent American troops into Israel accompanied by 500# bombs and M-16’s. These heavy armaments destroyed and killed thousands of innocent Palestinians accenting women and children. The United States is rapidly bringing this maelstrom about and at the very least is gross hypocrisy. There over 5,000 American troops stationed in Israel. If the U.S. did not complement Israel with guns and money and allow the Palestinians to create their own state, there would be no excuse for war.

The Chief Monkey of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is Alejandro Mayorkas who is allegedly working to broker a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians but in reality doing nothing to stop those 2 groups of warring nations in the bounds of the United States and all the while supplying massive amounts of money and arms, as previously stated.

The United States is fostering both to this end. The U.S. Chief Monkey is allowing the Palestinian/Israeli war to be carried out on American streets. The democrat party and its filthy insiders led by Joe Biden and that scurrilous woman, Kamala Harris, a practicing Marxist both with a leadership void. There is a good possibility that this politically illiterate woman will be elected President of the U.S.

The U.S. characteristically stuck our nose in the Ukraine affair in which we had no business. This in my opinion, is just another step closer to WWIII. President Zelensky has demanded and has received long range rockets to strike at Russia’s interior and that is where the rubber will hit the road.

Netanyahu and Zelensky are like 1930’s door to door salesmen. That is, they have a list of suckers they regularly call on….like A, B,C,D. Zelensky is now at the U.S. door seeking more long-range rockets. Date: 9/23. If one of these rockets’ hits Russia’s inner belly it will be the end for both nations (Russia & the U.S.) and who knows who else? As in door-to-door salesmen, today Zelensky will be in Roma, Berlin and Paris begging for money.

I believe there is another reason why the U.S. has involved itself deeply with Ukraine. A payback by Biden for all the millions he and his son and family have extracted from Ukraine. I believe President Putin will not tolerate long range rockets into Mother Russia and will strike back with force. He understands this is a severe provocation for war against his country.

At the beginning of this war on our shores (Jews/Palestinians), just another chapter in their thousands of years wars. Biden and Harris have stood idly by and have allowed this war to come to fruition.

U.S. Jews laugh at the stupid Goyim (us) for fomenting and funding the wars between Israel/Palestinians, when Jews control 90% of U.S. national wealth while Americans fund their wars.

It is interesting to note Ukraine President Zelensky owns a hotel in Northern Cyprus. Zelensky and wife are owners of Tommaso ® a wine estate in Italy valued at $75 million. The Zelensky’s own Film Heritage, Inc., a company registered in Belize.

And now has come Hurricane Helene, never to be forgotten or gone. It’s murdering, hunger and destruction unbelievable and factual information states that Mayorkas, also Director of FEMA and 21 other agencies, along with Kamala Harris has spent $1 Billion on illegal aliens, thereby draining FEMA’s budget designed for just such catastrophes as Helene and preventing FEMA from discharging its legal assigned duties—both are high crimes in my view. The illegals are now making demands, they should remain in luxury hotels while our American citizens in Appalachia and eastern Florida are suffering for their losses of family, friends, life, property, etc.

Now the second Hurricane that may have the ability to wreak more havoc than Helene. The Monkeys have struck again. As American volunteers came to the scenes in droves in North Carolina, the criminally corrupt government early on prevented them from using civilian air and ground support. More incompetence and raw government force.

Wednesday 10/9/24.
I believe it is more than interesting that there are 8 Board Members in charge of FEMA—3 women, 5 men—all Jews, including Mayorkas. Jews are only 4% of the national population. This is very curious.

To the weather:
Are these weather patterns natural or are they being created in a geo-atmosphere, into specifically the ionosphere for criminal purposes? i.e. creating horrific storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc.
The Albemarle Corp., one of many, has 32 stations around the globe and is mining for economic reasons—Lithium. Another one is HAARP, run by the C.I.A. at the Univ. of Alaska. Worldwide there are many such agencies working to create and/or influence weather patterns.

Since American citizens located in Appalachia, a site for large Lithium deposits is under attack, Albemarle taking advantage of the tormented Appalachian’s and the possibility that Albemarle is in the mode to procure Appalachian land at cheap prices from the poor residents unless it is condemned and confiscated by the corrupt government.

Douglas Emhoff, Kamala Harris’ husband is a large stockholder in Albemarle and looking to cash in on the poor and devastated Appalachians.

Hopefully tonight, as Milton reaches landfall, the force will be mitigated.

Now to Fort Smith, Arkansas, one of the premiere illegal alien havens. Fort Smith became a sanctuary city many, many years ago. I had an experience with THE JOHN TYSON in 1947 on the illegal chicken crating business which he picked up in a battered old school bus and delivered to Springdale, then he would replicate the mission and drive to Wickes, AR, an illegal encampment (still alive today) and perform the same process. The fellow who hired me and my buddy said that he fed the illegals amphetamines so to work faster. There were some very young children that night and we never went back. The Feds are finally investigating Tyson’s for allegedly hiring underage illegals.

Tyson has a network designed to transport illegals to various work sites. Again, Fort Smith City Directors, the Mayor, the City Manager still lie that Fort smith is not a sanctuary city.

Years later I remember Fort Smith Public School Superintendent Benny Gooden opining to the SW Times Record that “we will take all we can get”, referring to illegals. Follow the money!

The Fort Smith leaders, i.e. the “monkeys”, are insouciant, non-compos mentis still denying that we are a sanctuary city. Look inside Northside High School, count the foreign national families represented inside and multiply by 5. Do the same thing with the Northside elementary & middle schools and using the same formula will give you an idea of how many illegals reside in our city.

I state there are two Alpha Monkeys in Fort Smith government, Mayor McGill and City Manager Carl Geffkin and one Beta, Talicia Richardson, and what exactly does Ms. Richardson do and who pays her salary? Is she a dutifully hired Fort Smith citizen? What influence do the Garrison Ave. Suits hold over the official Fort Smith Board? The Suits don’t have to own the Board, they own Carl Geffken the City Manager who never reports what antics in which he is involved to the insouciant, non-compos mentis City Board. Does Richardson have similar power as Geffken? Geffken follows the same footprints as Ray Gosack.

Fort Smith is choking on mismanagement, grants and alliances. These lightweights are frothing at the mouth to get their dirty hands on more grants. Not that this local government cares, but if they were legitimate in any sense they would be making bi-monthly payments to the Fed no matter how little that would instill some degree of honor. As I sit at my desk and I see that $800 million debt figure that would never have existed if City government had done what the citizens expected, i.e. the 1 cent Sales tax that was dedicated to sewers and streets and would have been paid off by 1992.
We owe the Federal Government $800 Million Dollars

More vulgarities, Mayor McGill with yearly walking around money of $650,000. Who gets the money & is he audited?

If Monkey V.M. Rego had a moral code at all, which apparently, he does not, he would quash this extravagant voyage to Roma. This also includes Richardson! These two parasites are an affront to Fort Smith city taxpayers and should be removed along with several others, i.e. the Mayor and Geffken.

Our national government owns the town now and soon will be the Conductor of this band of Marxists.

Geffken is acting without the Board’s signature on many, many issues. That makes the Board insouciant and non-compos mentis.

One other thing: Candidate Russ Bragg for City Director is a graduate of the Fort Smith Poultry Empire, i.e. OK Foods, where illegals abound there and in all poultry operations and if Bragg is elected, he will join the Suits and will be their mouthpiece.

You Monkeys are all the same, corrupt to the core!

CITY DEBT, AGENDA 21, & THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT’S WAY OF PAYING OFF THEIR VULGAR DEBT

CITY DEBT, AGENDA 21, & THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT’S WAY OF PAYING OFF THEIR VULGAR DEBT

September 11, 2024

What’s in a word—SAFETY, MOBILITY, SUSTAINABILITY, WALKABILITY, COMMUNITY, MOVE—just a beginning.

These are not Fort Smith’s government’s words; they are emblazoned in the United Nation’s Agenda 21 (now 2030) playbook. Agenda 21 is an attack on our Republican form of government (free enterprise & individual liberty). This war against liberty is conducted by the world’s richest Oligarchs, e.g. Bill Gates, George Soros, Klaus Schwab, etc. etc. There are large numbers of Americans ensconced in this potential overthrow and many are in sensitive and powerful areas of MARXIST/COMMUNIST ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT INCLUDING THE U.S. GOVERNMENT This is a global attack on individual LIBERTY worldwide, including the United States.

Fort Smith has been involved in this hideous movement since at least 2015. I have written numerous articles dating back to that year and Fort Smith’s involvement with names, places, and activities. Articles may be found on my website www.arkansasfreedom.net

Now to What’s in a Word….on Tuesday (August 20th) at the City Board’s meeting they were to discuss Agenda 21’s meaning of safety and mobility, mobility was postponed. I believe Safety to most folks would rest comfortably in that it would mean security. The Agenda 21 dictionary means that police forces will be increased for surveillance and also included is the word mobility, meaning Agenda 21, removing vehicles from streets which will be supplanted by new forms of transportation which will allow for the compression of citizens into small areas accompanied by very little urbanization. The movement of people will be accomplished by paths, walking, trails, miniature passenger trains designed to ride on concrete trails, bikes, motorized bikes and perhaps other ingenious forms of transportation by the citizens. This is just a brief prelude of what Agenda 21 is bringing with force, yet our citizens apparently are not aware of this global assault by oligarchs and politicians which are responsible for this attack fueled by their own power and greed. This sinister movement is decades old.

Agenda 21, instrumental in a $300,000 SAFETY PLAN for Grand Avenue. More unbridled spending, followed by mushrooming debt.

The EPA and the state of Arkansas filed suit over sewer overflows and city of course lost in 2015.

January 2, 2015, Fort smith negotiated a Consent Decree—City did not comply.

Now comes another blockbuster spending spree for the purchase of $4.2 million water slide. Christina, we are poor because the city government is spending us into oblivion, with no pay back.

The most successful aspect of Agenda 21 is the U.S. Democrat Party—a Party of lies, crime, corruption and an insatiable need for power at any cost. If by chance the Democrats win the coming national election our Republic will be left in shambles. As Don Meredith, former Dallas quarterback and many years later after retirement from football as an announcer would sing these notes…”the party is over”. It is reported that at least 50% of Americans are democrats and egad look who they are.

Now comes the runaway spending and looting of our citizens’ assets by politicians, bureaucrats, banks, the military/industrial complex and N.G.O’s.—a continuation of ownership of power and money. President Joe Biden, Jan.2 of this year explained he would spend $7Trillion this calendar year, he’s about to reach his target, and national indebtedness will soar to $40 Trillion, impossible to ever pay back.

Before attending the meeting that Tuesday evening, I had been reading some of the capers that the city government is involved in without consent or knowledge of their constituents. The Directors sat in their respective chairs listening to the citizens and looking like sticks with no animation and furthermore limiting those very citizens in attendance only to 2 minutes to describe and verify their positions with no chance of success. My limited research would determine that the city hired a consulting firm from Bentonville, AR to do a study that I presume had to do with streets. At the end of the study, the Board received one recommendation that I believe was pseudo information that Garrison Ave. was the most unsafe street in Fort Smith from 2nd St. to 14th. Sounds very hollow to me and the city paid $350.000 for this fractured assessment. It’s only money!

Following this charade a proposed act by city employee Mike Mings, the back-alley czar, garners more humor than pain. A quick explanation. Once in Turkey, walking through the remains of the Roman Empire at a place called Ephesus some of the streets and alleyways had 12 ft. long rock slabs elevated to 2 ½ feet with 12 toilet seats carved in the stone of each slab. What I am alluding to is this city programmer oversees a program to pave concrete back alleys in some areas on the north side, accompanied by incursions into the homeowners’ backyards. I believe this wild, wild expenditure is designed to aid police in their quest to capture criminals and ease in surveillance patrolling. This also falls into the mantra of Agenda 21.

It has been said that the city involved itself in a deal to join Little Rock & Fayetteville in obtaining a $100 million grant and that Fort Smith only receives $14.5 million of that.

In the year 2016 Fort Smith City Government, in their quest for Trail Mania, offered a plan which included 87 miles of trails accompanied by 35 more miles of abandoned railroad beds from Central City to Paris and all villages in between. 87 miles factors out extending to Russellville.

In 1985 the citizens voted for a 1 cent sales tax based on the city government’s word they would spend every cent raised on sewers and streets only!

However, it was 1987 before the City Board began to act on the 1 cent sales tax for reclaiming sewers & streets. Yes streets! The City Board at that time promised to spend every penny of this tax on the above. In 25 years, this tax generated $650,000,000. (Christina, take notice) Had the Board kept its word the sewer system would have been reclaimed in 7 years and most probably the streets no later than 1994. It has been 30 years from the projected time of completion, if the Board had not been involved in misfeasance and malfeasance. What happened to the money? Just imagine 30 years of honesty with the 1 cent tax, sewers and streets would be revitalized and there would be no Consent Decrees and $millions more put on the backs of the taxpayers. So, Christina, your comments should be directed at the past and present members of the Board.

July 2017 another Consent Decree–$200 million over 12 years negotiated by the city Manager and no compliance.

The city is paying fines of $590,000 for 481 sewer overflows in the past 30 months. The city from 6/83 to 7/95 IGNORED 8 ADMINISTRATIVE ORDERS FROM THE J.D.

I speak to a partial statement made by Christina Catsavis. (The Department of Justice), “It just feels like they are unwilling to move.” “They say we’re tired of Fort Smith crying we are poor.” “Well, we are poor” Catsavis said. There is not a lot more we can put on the backs of ordinary citizens with inflation, gas prices and food.” Directors Good and Settle echoed the same thing. Ask Settle and Good, they know we are “spending poor”.

In my 2 minute “dissertation” to the Board I was going to ask questions regarding debt, plus who Richardson actually works for and how much money?

Fort Smith government is swimming in grants with a 80/20 payback.

The City Manager must go now!

Will the city government ever pay its financial obligations? —NO! Will our national government ever pay its financial debts?—NO! Not as long as we have simple fools voting for Biden, Harris, and Walz.

As comedian Ron White said one evening as he was into his dialogue, he reached down to the podium and as part of his Schtick picked up a jigger of Jack Daniels, lifted it up, saluted his audience and drank to his audience and said, “YOU CAN’T FIX STUPID”!

When some dishonest politicians put their collective heads together, voila a solution to pay the city and the federal vulgar debts. Their solution is not Constitutional, it’s unlawful, it’s criminal but makes no difference because it enriches certain pockets, and they retain power.

The central governments’ plan to pay off the national debt, including the city and states. The central government gets in touch with all its employees, hundreds of thousands, explains the plans; gives them their orders when to activate the plan, the date arrives, and one star kissed night all the government shills fan out across the 50 states. The government agents knock on citizen’s doors and when the owner opens the door he asks the agent, “May I help you?” the government agent replies, “yes sir, I am from the government and here to confiscate a portion of your property, get the value of your property and I will return in a few days and we will determine what percentage of your assets I will seize”. Now to the homeowner, “this is your patriotic gift to your hard-working government that has served you so well over the decades and have a good day Sir.” This will please the Commissars.

Fort Smith will never pay their real debts. They don’t have a clue as to what the amount of debt is. Same for the national debt.

The debts that our Republic has are like a dirigible, when the government untethers the dirigible, it is released into the atmosphere. It ascends into the atmosphere fueled by hot air and gas provided by politicians. The dirigible soon enters the atmosphere, and the gas and hot air continue to expand as the dirigible enters the ionosphere where the dirigible skins expand until a huge explosion erupts and blows the airship to Kingdom Come. This is the exact course the Feds, states and cities will use to solve the debt crisis.

Marshal’s museum illegitimate tax

Leave a comment

A ballot to vote for or against the establishment of a 9 month 1% Sales Tax exclusively (?) for a U.S. Marshal’s Museum constructed on the Fort Smith riverfront.                        March 2, 2019

Beware of a Bill to be voted on March 5-12, 2019 to pass or reject $16 million in taxpayer monies for allegedly building a structure to be known as the U.S. Marshal’s Museum. 

First of all it was advertised heavily that there would be “not one cent of taxpayer money spent” for the above project. This was the lie that supports the MM concept which was started circa 2009.

The Ark. General Assembly, in the year 2011, passed an SB 244 (changed to Act 25 in 2014)  for the Dept. of Parks & Tourism—U.S. Marshal’s Museum grant appropriation for the 2011-2012 fiscal year.

“Section I, Clause (A) to develop, implement, and administer a grant program that provides funding to assist with the development, construction, and maintenance of a U.S. Marshal’s Museum in a sum not to exceed $25 million”, sponsored by Senator Jake Files.

Another significant part of the ballot is the fact there is NO language present to state that the issue cannot be presented again after the 9 months are passed, which is the stated duration shown in the ballot.

The ballot’s third paragraph is the paragraph that states in a circuitous manner that if the ballot passes the MM is sold to the brand new unknown 5 member Public Facilities Board which has no financial obligation, nor the city of Fort Smith at which time the MM, Inc. will lease it back for a nominal fee and a long term arrangement to do what?

It appears that if the MM, Inc. (a 501 c 3) fails to pass, it will allow Sicard, Griffin, Westphal, et al also to be free of any financial obligations. 

If the ballot fails the owner’s state they will continue to raise funds, which means they will go back to a government source to get the $16 million. No private citizen will be foolish enough at this point to invest in a project whose foundation is built on a lie and lack of citizen support.

MARSHAL’S MUSEUM TAX TRAP

Leave a comment

THE TRAP IS BAITED.                                                                                 February 22, 2019

Will the prey (taxpayers) take the bait in this expanding maze?—they always do.

The Marshal’s Museum murky maze has expanded. First a brief history beginning approximately at the onset of this pretzelizing endeavor.

It was announced, initially, the project would be a private enterprise undertaking and absolutely NO taxpayer dollars involved. The no taxpayer position shortly proved to be untrue—a lie.  An FOIA submitted early on contained a few names of private citizens but the names were redacted before they touched my hands. What were they hiding that early on?

With a little help from a couple of citizens I was able to document that Griffin & Sicard and the consummate insiders had obtained from government agencies–DC, Little Rock, Sebastian County, Fort Smith, etc. at least $36 million plus 3 assets that listed no stated values, undoubtedly in the millions—coin minting, real estate, tax credits, etc. all was based on a lie—no taxpayer dollars used– which then translates to grand theft by the MM, Inc.

Apparently when the U.S. Marshal’s Museum, Inc. determined they needed $16-17 million more to complete the physical facility they then made their wishes known to the Fort Smith city government.  Remember newly elected city Mayor George McGill had assumed the captaincy of the F.S. government probably due to the fact McGill’s campaign was outrageously financed (circa $65,000) and directed by Griffin, Sicard, & enablers.  Their order on this occasion was to instruct the City Board to put a 1% sales tax for a special vote to take place March 12, 2019.  One brave dissenter, Director George Catsavis did not cave.

Think about this…the hypocrisy—they sold the project with the premise it “won’t cost the taxpayers a one red cent”, shortly they received millions from the then Senator Jake Files & his state legislation for $25 million, as well as the city and county tax monies already kicked in… and then they end up whining for citizens to pass a “9 month 1% sales tax” which in all probability will never end, if passed.

Front page 2/22/19 Times Record, 5 individuals of the CBID were pictured, of the 5 at least 3 are multi-millionaires, absent Sicard who owns numerous banks. These are principals in the MM, Inc. and they have the temerity to demand that middleclass Fort Smithians and others subsidize their expensive ostentatious creation.

Their next step is the formation of a 5 member “Public Facilities Board” who will then purchase the new Museum building with the funding from the sales tax and with that comes no responsibility in maintaining by the Public Facilities Board nor the city of Fort Smith.   Say again?  Next Griffin & Sicard put out the lie that Mayor George McGill will be the only one who will appoint the 5 member PFB. Really? Mayor McGill was hired as the Registered Agent for the MM, Inc. It is said this is a necessary business arrangement since Agent’s primary function is to make businesses aware of legal changes.  But what other functions might they serve?

Mayor McGill owns his own museum which appears on the Secretary of State website and creates a nexus between the 3 producing a symbiotic relationship creating a host of Conflicts.

Mayor McGill comes in handy in another way, he is a 6 year alumni of the Arkansas General Assembly that ended last year.  An educated guess; he will be spending inordinate amounts of time reacquainting himself with his old legislative buds for carrying out the wishes of Griffin, Sicard, himself,  et al.   I would also surmise the Mayor would convey Griffin & Sicard’s political orders to Rep. Boyd & for sure Sen. Matt Pitsch—the riverboat captain, while reporting on current legislative and inside activities.

Do you believe that Griffin & Sicard would solely allow McGill to pick the 5 members of the PFB?  More conflicts.   With that in mind, Director/Principal Robyn Dawson (double-dipper) sent me an email last Monday scolding me and stating how much she agreed with the Mayor’s position about public discussions vs. FOIA’s. I noted the time (10:00 AM) she was discussing city business on public school time—back to the no transparency issue.  Conflicts?  She also boasts of owning 2 businesses (what are their classifications?)…therefore, does she & her husband conduct personal business on citizen’s taxpayer time?  Of course, you can guess the answer to that, which makes the Marshal’s Museum mystical maze & the F.S. government a microcosm of the DC swamp. 

Here the transparency trail goes cold since their media statements read like a Chinese fire drill.  Logically they explain nothing coherently.

Former Times Record editor, Jack Moseley, in the T.R. lauded the construction of the U.S. MM, Inc. in Fort Smith but not the methods used in construction and fundraising activities.

The issue here is not to be for or against the project, it is the lie…”not one cent of tax money to be used in its construction”, accompanied by lack of transparency (since taxpayer money in the main has and is being spent…millions), deception, obfuscation, conflicts of interest, and surreptitious methods.

Jack, you have been missed as editor of the T.R., but you have never seen fit to look beneath the veneer. 

Recall the engineering/land/building site Lee Creek dam fiasco, which was declared by you, the city government and the downtown cabal that Lee Creek would provide water for 50 years while I was calling for elevation of the Lake Fort Smith dam which all of you said was an engineering impossibility.  Look at it now.

Another example of not looking beneath the veneer was your denial of Kerr-McGee dumping radioactive pitch blend in the Arkansas River from their Gore, OK plant. It was later proven long after my assertions that the pitch blend was indeed flowing down the River and into Lee Creek, also through faulting. It has only recently been cleaned up, despite your denials of its existence.

With your endorsement of the Marshal’s Museum tax proposal, you’re again refusing to look beneath the veneer—Follow the citizens’ money—Qui Bono?

the eternal battle between the corrupt collective and the smallest minority–the individual

To the Honorable Fort Smith Mayor George McGill and members of the City Board.   2/10/19

Friday, February 8, 2019 The Times Record led: Mayor: “Let’s resolve lawsuits”

Mayor McGill led with a litany of topical reasons to rid the city of lawsuits.  His conclusion was: “We all need to put the interests of our city first. I strongly believe those of our residents (taxpaying citizens) who have taken us to court truly love this city and want the city to do well,” McGill said.

Mayor McGill we do not live in a cultural Marxist society, we live in a Constitutional Republic where the individual and family comes first, not the collective, which the Democrat & Republican parties now represent, as you well know after being schooled in the Democrat party for decades.

McGill goes on to say “Maybe taking us (government) to court was a way for them (taxpayers) to express their frustrations with the city government.” 

The Mayor also said he believes “sitting down and listening to each other is the best way to vent frustrations and overcome differences,” not always taking legal action.  How will that prevent crime & corruption in the secret back rooms of elected & appointed officials who are sometimes caught, indicted, & convicted for their illegal activities? E.g. Fort Smith & the State Legislature.

Your position is most disturbing.  If the city comes first, why the plethora of illegal activities conducted in the dark with no public transparency?

What forum is left to law-abiding taxpaying citizens other than the courts to protect citizen’s rights and interests?

Marshal museum–for sale or rent?

Leave a comment

ROGER MILLER WROTE IN 1964 “KING OF THE ROAD”—“TRAILER FOR SALE OR RENT”      February 4, 2019

The Marshal’s Museum, Inc. must deal with narratives disseminated by the media and Marshal’s Promotion Committee, none of which make any sense, (on purpose?).

Private enterprise defined by Webster: belonging to, not open to, intended for or controlled by the public not holding public office.  Example: Mayor George McGill will allegedly select the 5 members comprising the yet to be named “Public Facilities Board”. Mayor McGill, are the 5 members you are going to pick been submitted to you by Griffin, Sicard, the City Board, or others?  It appears from Webster’s definition that you are in defiance of the phrase “private enterprise” which the MM was advertised to be.

If the MM, Inc. is claiming non-profit 501c3 status they are untruthful and thieves, simply because they have manipulated politicians to the tune of at least $36,352,000 tax dollars, plus Commemoratives, New Market Tax Credits and the building site.  So is the MM, Inc. a For-Profit or a Non-Profit; because they gave grazed on both sides of the fence?

If the issue passes, and the newly appointed “Public Facilities Board” is commissioned, with their anticipated 1% sales tax for $17 million or more, the Facilities Board will purchase the MM, Inc. and will not, nor the city of fort Smith be responsible for any future operating costs of the MM—then who? This gibberish, whatever it means, can all be changed with a wink and a nod without taxpayer oversight.

City Director Lorenz, in a Dec. 20, 2018 Board Meeting, “Fort Smith will get 100% of the benefits and pay about 50% of the tax”—another contradiction—please explain.

Now is it time the prime movers Griffin, Sicard, & Westphal take center stage and sing the song “King of the Road”…MM “for sale (again) or rent”?  What is the end game in this MM Maze?

From the assets listed above and not knowing the value of the New Market Tax Credits, pledges, seed money, building site, cash on hand, and other possible grants, it is fair to say the downtown Cabal has “raised” several million north of 50.   This coupled to the fact they have the gall to order the City Board to make a Special tax vote available, which shows no respect for the taxpaying public.

If the Special tax passes, is there some government agency in the market to buy this Star Wars production and have the 3 (perhaps others) in the downtown gang called in their first marker from the Mayor? 

Somehow the word Fraud keeps coming to mind.

The Mystical Marshal’s Museum Maze

3 Comments

Do the numbers and verbiage espoused by the Marshal’s Museum, INC & The Times Record comport, confuse, and are they truthful or untruthful? January 26, 2019

The promoters of the Marshal’s Museum, Inc. from day one, have billed it as a “private enterprise”, i.e. “not one cent of taxpayer money will be spent on this enterprise”. The first public announcement was published in the Times Record.

“It’s only a 9 month penny”, the promoters are urging the taxpayers to approve a temporary (?) 1 cent sales tax that is diametrically in opposition to the above.

A temporary Act to generate $17 million, if passed, will in all likelihood be transferred to the FSM Dept. of Parks & Tourism, then on to the CBID ( Sam Sicard, Richard Griffin & Bennie Westphal), onward to the U.S. Marshal’s Museum, Inc., and finally to the newly created “Public Facility Board” (who appointed?), to purchase the Marshal’s Museum’s building and grounds from the U.S. Marshal’s Museum, Inc. via the One Cent sales tax. (Huh??) Apparently Sam Sicard, Richard Griffin, and Bennie Westphal will be in charge of the internal assets. Now more convolution and contradictions. Neither the new members/owners of the “Facility Board” nor FSM would be responsible for any future operating costs of the museum???. Remember, the “Facility Board” just finished purchasing the Museum and grounds. Therefore, if the tax passes how can this be—owning a building and grounds and not being responsible?

If the Bill is passed, the $16 million would go to complete the Museum’s exhibits & “experiences”—what experiences? It was noted in various publications that the “Facilities Board” would own physical assets, i.e. building and grounds. Which is it? Facility Board owns building & grounds or exhibits & “experiences”?

The Fort Smith city government was complicit by providing the foundation for a special vote to raise $17 million or more tax dollars for a Marshal’s Museum. The procedure creating this Act may be illegal.

Note that former S.B 635 sponsored by former Senator Jake Files for $25 million which was specifically for the MM was changed to Act 679 on March 24, 2011. Why? Section II of the Act is special language and I quote, “Grants eligibility: to be eligible for a grant under this Act, an entity must establish that it is a non-profit, non-governmental 501c3 organization with a mission to form a national center of heritage and legacy within the state.” On completion has a deal been cut to turn the facility & contents over to the City, State or Federal Government?

Act 679 provided $25 million taxpayer dollars to the 3 listed participants. Availability of how the money was spent has been redacted from a FOIA.

Again, recall that the media release pertaining to the creation of the U.S. MM was to be a Private Endeavor, i.e. no citizen tax dollars.

Noted also is AR SB 244, July 1, 2015, an Act for the Dept. of Parks & Tourism re appropriation funneled $3, 250,000 to the U.S. MM. Extracted from the Bill states monies from this Bill must be dedicated for all state-owned real property & facilities.

Other largesse emanates from the Federal Government, e.g. Commemorative Medallions, perhaps gold-plated, no announced value placed on, nor numbers sold, cost requiring designing, securing material, minting, promoting, transportation, distribution and sales. Value? What politicians/bureaucrats engineered this event?

Fort Smith in 2009 was FOIA’d for names & amounts of private contributors and pledges which were redacted in my presence by the MM attorney, but later was determined the city initially gave the U.S. MM $100,000 , the county $12,000, and then State Senator Files $2, 200,000 dedicated to this convoluted project.

The “Public Facilities Board” would purchase, as stated, the building & grounds (for unknown reasons) from the US MM, Inc. for the amount received from the 9 month tax if passed. Does this not establish the state of Arkansas as a bank providing funding for a for-Profit institution or will it revert quickly to a government agency? While on the subject, why is the $17 million not borrowed by Sicard, Griffin, & Westphal from one of Sicard’s First National Banks? Have one of these 3 or all of the 3 spent one dime of their own fortunes to create & secure the MM project?

There is no doubt the 3 used and abused New Market Tax Credits—tax credit funds available for blighted areas. Is a river bank defined as a blighted area? No established value available to the public re the Tax Credits.

“The US MM, Inc. (Another contradiction.) (Using U.S. in the Museum name is of concern) will operate the Museum and Fort Smith would/will have no control over the museum operation.” Who then? The FS city government, in addition to revenue previously distributed, has awarded even more tax payer dollars and the use of city equipment and personnel. Again no established value.

January 15, 2019 Ward 3 Director Mike Lorenz said at a December Board meeting that “Fort Smith will get 100% of the benefits (?) and pay about 50% of the tax”. (?)

More illegal abuse, in this case, former Governor Beebe in 2007 gave $2 million, the Ark. State Legislature $200,000, 2013 the Governor gave another $1 million, Parks & Tourism to the MM $90,000 and the AEDC in 2017-18 gave $2,500,000 from the “Rainy Day Fund”. The above 4 came from the General Improvement Fund—GIF. Added to the cash donations by government are the unpublished values of Commemoration Coins, New Market Tax Credits, etc.

FRAUD—(Webster’s New World Dictionary, Second College Edition)…Deceit; Trickery; Cheating; Law– Intentional deception to cause a person to give up property or some lawful right.

Has anyone worked their way through this murky maze of taxpayer dollars taken by Fraud? If so, please advise.

$25,000,000
$ 3,250,000
$ 100,000
$ 12,000
$ 2,200,000 PLUS dollar values of unnamed assets & cash raised, and pledges

$ 2,000,000
$ 200,000
$ 1,000,000
$ 90,000
$ 2,500,000

$36,352,000 TOTAL, which is $4, 352,000 more taxpayer dollars than the MM, inc. claim they have raised which is $32 million. Also the MM,inc claims to have land on the Arkansas River valued at $3.4 million.

Due to time & space I did not name all the government agencies and public/private manipulations involved in obtaining the total of $36,352,000 and perhaps much more.

The omnipresent tax family

Leave a comment

January 6, 2019

So it came to pass that 9 months after embryo Penny Tax was conceived the new baby Penny was not aborted as promised but grew and grew.  After all, baby Penny needed diapers, clothes, food, and transportation, expensive maintenance which had to be met– and who would be so savagely evil as to deny Penny Tax’s necessities? So as all baby taxes, she grew fat & happy and her providers more impoverished, but they suffered in order to do their “duty”, after all they gave her life with their vote just as they had done many times before for the growing Tax family.

Some payers have even begun to notice the Tax Family never seems to go away or to be satisfied and have started to rebel verbally, but the ever growing Tax Family has many powerful friends who protect them and their “needs” & never allow them to be diminished by lowly dissenters. So fear not, baby Penny Tax will never be harmed and live a loooong smug but happy life.

Amen.

Fort Smith elections changed nothing

What did/does it mean? November 8, 2018

In yesterday’s edition of the Times Record, reporter Max Bryan wrote a summation of the political race between incumbent Justin Boyd and Luke Pruitt for the position of State Representative, District 77.

The curiosity was Bryan’s statement mid-article “He was endorsed by Sebastian Sheriff Bill Hollenbeck and First National Bank President Sam Sicard prior to the election”.

What was/is the significance of the sentence mentioning the above two individuals? It is common knowledge that Sicard & Richard Griffin are the co-Dons of the downtown swamper’s cabal, accompanied by a plethora of lieutenants.

The most curious point is why they’re names were posted as endorsers of Rep. Boyd AFTER the election.

Does it mean that Sicard is making citizens aware that he and Griffen have initiated Rep. Boyd & Sheriff Hollenbeck into their downtown power group? Hollenbeck, the public schools’ new police czar, seems to put the Fort Smith school district squarely at the feet of Swamp’s two Don’s, making the public school district larger and subject to more funding and corruption, certainly not a boost for academics.

The election changed nothing. The same enablers and politicians own the game and the economic destiny for Fort Smith which has been beached for decades due to cronyism—a protection racket: Observe.

With the new found school millage, public school spending is poised to run amok, e.g. new police czar Hollenbeck—what are his pay & perks and how many new government sycophants will be employed, and the cost to taxpayers? There are many more effective means to protect the children from harm.

This is a conditioning process and instills the belief that there must be some sort of uniformed agency in every facet of our lives.
