\nRedistribution made possible by corrupt governments and unsavory opportunists. Fort Smith, a microcosm of D.C.                   <\/strong><\/span>    January 26, 2012<\/p>\n

Another royal screw on the drawing board, i.e. a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153campus\u00e2\u20ac\u009d for the homeless (campus is defined as grounds of a college or university) Calling a homeless operation a Campus does not compute. <\/p>\n

Richard Griffin and his smarmy enablers are about to pull off another grand rape of taxpayers via forced redistribution. <\/p>\n

The main cast of characters, in addition to Griffin, are sidekick Ken Pyle; Ft. Smith city government (except George Catsavis); Lance Fischer, Next Step Executive Director; the Old Fort Homeless Coalition; and a gaggle of 501 c3 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153non-profits\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, profiteers.  More about non-profits shortly.  <\/p>\n

Recall Griffin and his homeless coalition brought in a high priced hustler from Texas by the name of Robert Marbut.  Marbut runs the Haven for Hope, along with 78 government (taxpayer) partner organizations in San Antonio. (Remember 501 c3 non-profits) Who paid Marbut and how much for his 4 month sabbatical in and out of Fort Smith propagandizing government expansion.  Some examples of Marbut\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s jargon meant to mesmerize the politicians & opportunists are \u00e2\u20ac\u0153governance models\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153homeless campuses\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (sounds important), \u00e2\u20ac\u0153hybrid model\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (designed specifically for Ft. Smith), \u00e2\u20ac\u0153lead agency\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (select group of other agencies), \u00e2\u20ac\u0153equalness\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153top tenants\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153anchor tenants\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153amnesty storage\u00e2\u20ac\u009d,  and now the coup de gras \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the upside is you get tons of buy-in with this\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, the words of a purebred hustler.<\/p>\n

Aside from the foolishness of the above paragraph, Marbut leaves no doubt that the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Homeless Shelter\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is to expand and expand and in the same breath Marbut\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Mission Statement is to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153help communities to dramatically REDUCE homelessness\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.   A huge dose of doublespeak.   He is simply saying, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll take the deadbeats off the street, house them in a central location and stick it to the taxpayers while increasing the homeless magnet at the same time. Will they also aid & abet illegal aliens?<\/p>\n

Marbut points out that 70% or more of these alleged homeless are homegrown. That being the case, where are the families and where are the churches?  He states again, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Strategic Action Plan to reduce homelessness for Fort Smith, Arkansas\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6there is no reduction, again, it is just a transfer of warm bodies to a central location and will only serve as a huge magnet to attract exponentially more non-producers.<\/p>\n

Pyle, along with 46 other people mostly from non-profits (501 c3\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s & c4\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s) was at a luncheon Friday Jan. 20, 2012 and herein lies the real fervor for the Homeless Shelter.  For those of you who believe Griffin and his enablers are in the business of helping these alleged unfortunates, look at the facts.   Remember the Homeless Campus is designed to grow & grow & grow and the totality of the growth is paid for by taxpayers without their consent.  In a word, it is big profit for the opportunist Griffin and his associates, just like the other proposed Colossus, the Marshal\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Museum, look no further than HUD and New Market Tax Credits which were designed to rehabilitate free-standing, for profit businesses. <\/p>\n

Over and over we hear the phrase \u00e2\u20ac\u0153non-profits\u00e2\u20ac\u009d attached to 501 c3\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s.  501 c3\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s are totally about Profit.  The Griffins of the world run the 501 c3\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and create very high paying positions.  The more expansion, in this case the more deadbeats they bring in, the more funding and the more hiring of 501 c3 parasites. This is a perfect example of a symbiotic relationship\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6they all need each other to prosper economically and grow, i.e. the deadbeats, the opportunists, the governments, principally HUD but not limited to. All taken from taxpayers by force. <\/p>\n

The homeless proposal is no small endeavor in size and financing that Griffin, Pyle, and their enablers are planning. As reported, purchasing a 167,000 sq. ft. building at an initial cost of $2 million, with other funding coming from a plethora of 501 c3\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s lovingly funded by what they term their \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Grant Sponsors\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (taxpayers), and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Funding Partners\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (taxpayers). The proposed shelter if allowed to continue to fruition could easily run into a $25-$50 million proposition. <\/p>\n

The opportunists have neither morals nor feelings for those who produce the capital to subsidize the unconstitutional thieveries.   These folks will drive us all into the ground economically if their plundering is allowed to continue. I am speaking specifically of politicians, bureaucrats, and opportunists.  Observe our current economic & political landscape, locally & nationally (a declining mode).  501 c3\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s & c4\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s are the Fountainhead of grand theft, all hiding behind government while posing as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153caring\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153giving back\u00e2\u20ac\u009d & \u00e2\u20ac\u0153making a difference\u00e2\u20ac\u009d PCBS. <\/p>\n

Fort Smith politicians, bureaucrats, and opportunists are busy bankrupting the community. A mass exodus of jobs and businesses and the self-serving \u00e2\u20ac\u0153visionaries\u00e2\u20ac\u009d are screwing the taxpayers by the numbers, e.g. Chancellor Beran\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s elite school for delinquents, an entrepreneurial school, $50 million + 50,000 sq. ft. Marshal\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Museum, soccer fields for illegals, a water park, a baseball stadium, the failed Convention Center, and of course Agenda 21 with its 87.59 miles of walking and bike trails (get the cars off the streets and citizens into a stack em & pack \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcem controlled environment) and now what is lovingly referred to as the Homeless Campus and the highly questionable costs for a new fire station. The elaborate Brooken Hill station cost $750,000.  <\/p>\n

Has the Fort Smith city government or the county government discussed Agenda 21 with the residing citizens and the ultimate goals orchestrated by the United Nations through Agenda 21?  Of course not, and in all likelihood there are members of the City Board & County government who are suffering from woeful ignorance.
\nEntitlements are choking the very life\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s blood out of productive citizens, e.g. 47% of Americans plus Mexican illegals & OTM\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s (some estimate 25-35 million squatting in the USA) receive some form of welfare, 49% of American citizens pay no state or federal income tax.  Question\u00e2\u20ac\u201ddoes this sound like a Constitutional Republic or an approaching Marxist\/Communist country. What is being proposed by Griffin, the city manager, the city board could very well run into hundreds of millions of dollars. <\/p>\n

Citizens have learned the hard way they cannot trust this city government, or any other for that matter.<\/p>\n

Another example of government waste and stupidity is the governor & the Ark. State legislature granting a $250,000 stipend to Rep. Tracy Pennartz to promote \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the regional assets of an entity used to promote programs designed to create jobs.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d  Another costly doublespeak. More & more forced redistribution for more failed government programs and what is Rep. Pennartz business experience?<\/p>\n

 Remember, the easiest job in the whole world is spending someone else\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s money.
