Government—government—and more government, all made possible by practitioners of opportunism. Why isn’t private enterprise flourishing as opposed to the metastasizing government at all levels which creates nothing but debt and destruction? Look no further than Fort Smith.

New Market Tax Credits—the rich take from the poor.

Is there a relationship between the United Nations’ Agenda 21/Sustainable Development and its bevy of bastard babies and their relationships to Sebastian County and the Fort Smith city government and their relationship to private developers and their relationship with the New Market Tax Credits?
The U.N. Agenda 21 has given rise to Sustainable Development, Smart Growth, Quality of Place, MPO (Metropolitan Planning Organization), ICLEI, Metro 1313, Providence Communities, New Market Tax Credits, New Urbanism, and the list goes on & on. MPO’s are federally established.  Fort Smith is already a participant in any number (?) of the bastard babies.  What citizen rights have been usurped?

U.N. Agenda 21 is generally known in counties across America as Sustainable Development. Sustainable policies are now pursued in every county in the United States.  U.N.  Agenda 21 is the globalist program designed to achieve the step-by-step abolition of private property, to educate for a global citizenship, and to control human actions in toto—transportation, diet, concentrated living quarters (stack & pack ‘em), walking trails, containment of worksites, i.e. the whole of our lives. Included in U.N. Agenda 21 is a written objective to reduce population by 85%–sobering! The question remains, what method or methods will be used to remove populations if Americans continue to slumber? 

Again, every county in America has adopted its own Sustainability programs…citizens, are you aware of this?   How many of these programs have Sebastian County and the city of Fort Smith implemented? What is the price for membership, and why have elected & appointed officials not made the citizens aware, e.g. Judge David Hudson, the Justices of Peace, local legislators, Fort Smith City Manager Ray Gosack & the City Board?  What freedoms have we citizens lost by their participation?  Do the aforementioned know the goals of Agenda 21 in its traitorous endeavors?  If so, they are complicit. If not, they are incompetent.

In addition to the MPO’s its companions are non-elected Councils of Government (COG’s).  Research has shown that MPO’s and COG’s are Soviet-style organizations.  These organizations hold ultimate power and are not elected. Notice the vast number of unelected commissions, task forces, study groups, etc. which as previously noted, are nothing more than self-serving power cabals with no oversight, accompanied by their lobbying efforts.  The Advertising & Promotion Commission is an excellent example.
U.N. Agenda 21 is fully embedded in American government, business, and educational systems, e.g. F.S. public schools & Univ. of Ark. @ Ft. Smith are graphic examples.

Sustainability is defined as the three E’s: Equity—establish a Collectivist society that reduces everyone to a common denominator (Obama and the Democrats); Economics—the international redistribution of America’s wealth (Obama & the Democrats) and converting the free enterprise system to what government calls Public-Private Partnerships (better described as economic Fascism, or Corporatism & government is always the CEO):  Environment—nature comes before man. 

We have seen the first two E’s manifest themselves in America, and the third E is now taking place, orchestrated by the Bureau of Land Management, Forest Rangers, etc.  Example, the San Juan and other mountain ranges surrounding Cortez, CO. have been taken over by the federal government. (Look no further than the Ouachita’s in Arkansas)  Many roads in & out of these mountain ranges have been locked and gated.  It is estimated that 50% of America’s land mass, plus buffer zones will be off-limits to ordinary people and will prevent extraction of resources.

The battlefield for Sustainable Development has become local, implemented by City Directors, County Boards, Water Boards, Fire Boards, School Boards, etc. Note again, that most are non-elected boards and the bastard babies of U.N. Agenda 21 are implemented by proliferating unelected boards which serve as the pilots for America’s destruction.

One of the largest of the bastard babies is an outfit called ICLEI (International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives). Many writings have alluded to the international cancer known as ICLEI.  Over 600 cities or county governments pay dues and have treasonous contracts with this NGO (Non-governmental Organization).  It is extremely important to note here that No. Little Rock Mayor Patrick Hayes is the CEO of this unconstitutional organization…the U.S. Division.

On to the local scene, the Fort Smith Times Record has topically reported on one of the bastard babies known as New Market Tax Credits.
The Act was supposedly not designed for high-end developers and opulent buildings and now goes totally against the intent of the New Markets program. The Act was designed to refurbish impoverished areas, but as all government programs, no matter the good intentions, they are ultimately corrupted.

New Market Tax Credits theoretically dole out federal subsidies to neighborhoods that have a 26% poverty rate.  By today’s standards, many if not most neighborhoods would qualify.  One brief example regarding the abuse of New Market tax credits involved the revered Blackstone Hotel in Chicago (where else but Chicago?).   The Blackstone, through nefarious deals orchestrated by Prudential Financial, Inc. ,  J.P. Morgan Chase, U.S. Bancorp’s, received $116 million renovation subsidies and divvied up between the aforementioned.

Enter the Fort Smith Housing Authority board of directors.  Citizens, did you know that the F.S. Housing Authority (HUD) board of commissioners arrive at political positions that the F.S. city government cannot overturn, another unelected economic cabal.   HUD czar is Richard Griffin.  In early 2010 Griffin, Ken Pyle, Steve Clark of credit card fame abuse, & Norm McLoughlin, a legal & financial consultant, and Jim Dunn (Marshall Museum executive director) attended a seminar in Miami to learn the ins & outs of New Market Tax Credits. 

Regarding the F.S. Marshall’s Museum, Richard Griffin, Commission Chairman, is quoted “if not us, who?” And further expanded his quotation “is it getting out of the box of housing? Yes.  At the end of the day, it’s a grant” (taxpayer money) It must be remembered that the proposed museum was to be endowed by private funding. It’s quite apparent that Griffin and his followers are intent on using HUD money (our money) to attack the private sector.  Today HUD owns 11,049 properties in Fort Smith according to their website, which is breathtaking, and at present HUD is in a pre-foreclosure & foreclosure on 77 properties. More failed & expensive government projects, and just how did they obtain 11,049 properties? Every expansion by HUD, New Market Tax Credits, and the rest of the bastard babies are closing the door on private enterprise and giving the United Nations a leg up.  Griffin’s quote “getting out of the box of housing? Yes.” Is indicative that the HUD board, Griffin, Pyle, etc. anticipate using HUD structure to further compete with private enterprise using citizen taxpayer dollars.

Was Griffin’s admission related to using New Market Tax Credits to fund the Marshall’s Museum and if not why did the museum Executive Director Dunn travel to Miami with Griffin, et al and who paid for Dunn’s trip and the rest of the attendees?  What is the ultimate payoff for each of the Miami participants?
So at the real end of the day, does Griffin plan to follow the Blackstone Hotel abuse example?  He and the F.S. Housing Authority can apply for federal New Market Tax Credits, at which time Griffin can sell the tax credits to investors. Will there be a local banking institution involved in this venture, e.g. First National?
Is Griffin using New Market Tax Credits to fund his impending Garrison Ave. projects– a Quickie, liquor store, service station and the remodeling of the New Theater?

All the above information was compiled & written on or before July 21, 2011.  Some of the following data was published in Friday’s edition (7/22/11) of the Times Record.

 More development and expansion by Griffin/HUD/financiers, all at the expense of middleclass taxpayers, e.g. Agenda 21 to the fore.  Executive Director of the Fort Smith Housing Authority Ken Pyle is quoted as saying “we are really feeling good”. Notice more Agenda 21 from the New Market Tax Credits…a $60 million food processing plant (why?), a regional food bank (why?), a social services campus for the Homeless (why?). This is a working example of Collectivism.  It is another example of an extension of Agenda 21 and its bastard babies, expanding government, enriching insiders, attacking free enterprise, and controlling citizens.  Not one question by Times Record reporter Ben Boulden regarding the why & who of this explosive revelation, particularly the $60 million food processing plant. The audacity of Pyle hustling for a “social services” campus.  In reality only 4% of citizens cannot fend for themselves. Their every need is already taken care of. The remaining 96% on the dole are deadbeats and so choose to be. Pyle apparently thinks using the word “campus” cleans up the sordid mess & stench to make it palatable to citizens.  Pyle and other “concerned” citizens can fund it and leave the beleaguered Makers (private sector taxpayers) alone and by the way, where are the churches in this production…not just an occasional grocery hand-out?

New Market Tax Credits=Takers take from the Makers.
Of extreme interest to all freedom loving citizens was an article titled “Housing Authority Collects Redevelopment Funds”.  Note the vulgar amount of money collected by the Fort Smith Housing Authority–$235 million in investment commitments. Remember, this commitment comes directly under the aegis of the New Market Tax Credits.  Further, as shown in the earlier part of this piece big time financial institutions have joined in the taxpayer subsidized economic scam; JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Keegan, US Bancorps… these bailed out by the Obama “stimulus” package, followed by Stephens, Inc., locally First National Bank of Fort Smith (no surprise here), Bank of the Ozarks, Arvest, and possibly others.  It should be noted that the CEO of JP Morgan Chase is a board member of the NY Federal Reserve & JP Morgan Chase received $67 billion of Obama’s stimulus loot and here we find Morgan Chase stealing more taxpayer largesse, compliments of the New Market Tax Credits.

The first part of this piece alluded to the opulent spending on the Blackstone Hotel in Chicago and here again, JP Morgan Chase, US Bancorps divvied up $116 million in renovation subsidies.
New Market Tax Credits operating on the backs of middleclass Americans and further edging toward bankrupting America by subsidizing land, building owners, raw land development, contractors, all with huge tax write-offs, compliments of the U.S. Treasury & the IRS…all by design.

We are witnessing the resurrection of Urban Renewal 2000 style— government theft on a grander scale, coupled with the usual scurrilous opportunists.

Historians declare that America’s Declaration of Independence is man’s greatest achievement.  This achievement is now being buried under the United Nations Agenda 21’s global attack.  
Let this be firmly ensconced in your brain: every time a politician or bureaucrat creates a commission, study group, task force, retreat, etc. be aware you are about to lose more of your hard earned money and freedom.

It’s all about global citizenship, the death of sovereignty…and it is here. Agenda 21 is in our town, Fort Smith, Arkansas.  Are the “leaders” sell-outs or just plain ignorant?
