VERY LITTLE INTEREST IN NEW MEXICO TENTH AMENDMENT RESOLUTION CONVENTION

We've pulled our premier show for tonight.  THE NEW MEXICO TENTH AMENDMENT RESOLUTION CONVENTION ustream.tv show won't be aired tonight.  We encountered difficulty combining Janet's and my webcams on the ustream.tv site.  We had wanted to air a discussion of the New Mexico Tenth Amendment.  I decided to can the show for tonight.

 We would like a working format, one preferably that allows to call in and join the discussion.  We'll try to work out the bugs and get a show on ustream.tv.  

 I've been researching state Tenth Amendment resolutions and applying this information to constructing one for New Mexico.  We've had only two people express interest in this project: Bob Wright, formally of the New Mexico Minute Men and Marcia Stirman of the Otero County Republican Women.

I emailed Rep. Dennis Roch, District 67, author of a New Mexico Cease and Desist bill.  Rep. Roch either doesn't read his emails or isn't going to respond, as I haven't had a response from him since I sent the email out last week.

With very little interest in this project, I see no reason to push for holding a convention.  ORF will keep you informed on this project.  Thanks to Bob and Marcia for their immediate response last week and their support.

ARMY DENIES PLANS TO SEIZE 7M ACRES IN SOUTHEAST COLORADO

Title click to read about this HUGE land grab in Colorado on the PINON CANYON EXPANSION OPPOSITION COALITION. 

"The point is that the "OPLAN 05-18, Pinon Vision" document, which outlines a plan to acquire between 5.5 and 6.9 million acres was issued after the two "Analysis of Alternatives" and "Land Use Requirement Study" documents which were submitted to the Department of Defense as part of the Army’s waiver request, but six months before that application was actually submitted.

These documents indicate the Army plans range up to 6.9 + million acres, and they make it clear that our concern that the Army is attempting to acquire lands far in excess of the 100,000 acre identified as  phase one is not something that we created in our own minds."

SUPREME COURT OPINION ON 'STANDING' IN ENVIRONMENTAL CASE

ORF: We in Otero County have asked the question as to what standing environmentalists and others who litigate to close forests to logging, public grazing and the designation of critical habitat for 'surrogate species' based on fraud and junk science.  This case is important as it relates to use of public lands, state sovereignty, and economic impact on counties in New Mexico and the American West.

 Justice Scalia, Opinion of the Court

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

PRISCILLA SUMMERS, et al., PETITIONERS v. 
EARTH ISLAND INSTITUTE et al.

on writ of certiorari to the united states court of appeals for the ninth circuit

 " Respondents argue that they have standing to bring their challenge because they have suffered procedural injury, namely that they have been denied the ability to file comments on some Forest Service actions and will continue to be so denied. But deprivation of a procedural right without some concrete interest that is affected by the deprivation—a procedural rightin vacuo—is insufficient to create Article III standing. Only a “person who has been accorded a procedural right to protecthis concrete interests can assert that right without meeting all the normal standards for redressability and immediacy.”

SMART GRID V. THE FOURTH AMENDMENT

Amendment IV of the U.S. Constitution: 

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

ORF poses the question: Is SMART GRID a violation of the Fourth Amendment?  Does a global computer network that actively scans your person, houses, papers or personal documents or drivers licenses and property constitute an unreasonable search or an illegal search?  Did you give up your Fourth Amendment right upon purchasing an item with a Smart Grid chip in it and willingly took the item into your home?  This is gearing up to be an organic U.S. Constitutional fight against a global conglomerate.

RFD AMERICA: SMART GRID TELLS ALL ABOUT YOU

Title click to read this disturbing article on the RFD AMERICA website.

"What’s in your closet?

According to IBM, one of the two corporations which will receive most of the money (the other is GE),

The world is becoming instrumented. By 2010, there will be a billion transistors per human, each one costing one ten-millionth of a cent.

The world is becoming interconnected. With a trillion networked things—cars, roadways, pipelines, appliances, pharmaceuticals and even livestock—the amount of information created by those interactions grows exponentially.

All things are becoming intelligent. Algorithms and powerful systems can analyze and turn those mountains of data into actual decisions and actions that make the world work better. Smarter.

Did you catch that? Smart Grid will allow the government to collect information about you, your habits, and possessions. All they need are a few sensors to know what is in your refrigerator; how long you spend in the bathroom; if you smoke in your home; if you drink alcohol in your home; and how many people are in your home or business at any one time. Science fiction? Don’t bet on it. IBM knows different."

IBM:"How is this possible?

First, the world is becoming instrumented. Imagine, if you can, a billion transistors for every human being. We're almost there. Sensors are being embedded everywhere: in cars, appliances, cameras, roads, pipelines…even in medicine and livestock.

Second, our world is becoming interconnected. Soon, there will be two billion people on the Internet—but systems and objects can now "speak" to each other, as well. Think of a trillion connected and intelligent things, and the oceans of data they will produce.

Third, all of those instrumented and interconnected things are becoming intelligent. They are being linked to powerful new backend systems that can process all that data, and to advanced analytics capable of turning it into real insight, in real time."

"There is no need for companies to hire foreign workers ... when there are plenty of qualified Americans looking for jobs," Grassley said at the time. The legislation amounts to a blanket ban on the hiring of foreign workers."

Democracy, Republic, Constitutional Republic - What's the Big Deal?

The typical talk of the day suggests that many believe that the government form in America is a Democracy. Wrong!!

And, furthermore, we don’t want one; democracies have a bad habit of deteriorating to mob rule in the streets. Recently, we heard it put succinctly in the following comparison:

Democracy – Three wolves and two sheep voting on dinner.

Republic – Three wolves and two sheep appointing a committee to decide on dinner.

Constitutional Republic (of our type) – Three wolves and two sheep with a law against voting on dinner; and the sheep are armed.

Marcia Stirman Reports on Republican Women Meeting

Wednesday, March 4, 2009

GB Oliver, III spoke about gun ownership in the Obama administration. He said ammo is backlogged six to nine months and people are worried. He said the federal government has over reached their authority and told people when the feds summon them to court, all they need to do is write a letter asking for specifics as to why they think they have that authority and cite the codes. They never do. If we happen to show up in their court thinking we're going to get a fair shake, we're putting ourselves under their authority without knowing it and they have us under their control. It was very enlightening!

We had a great turn out. 40 or so and some new memberships.

NAIS SURVIVAL TOOL KIT

INFORMATION RELEASE--- IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION PLEASE

From: NAFAW

March 7, 2009

Contact: Darol Dickinson, 740 758 5050

Barnesville, Ohio USA

NAIS SURVIVAL TOOL KIT

The NAIS SURVIVAL TOOL KIT is on line, and immediately printable in full color. This information is easy to forward, assisting livestock producers world wide to defend their assets and family farms from invasive government enforcements. Michelle Reid sums it up, "We’re out here branding cattle, worrying about our best horse going blind, when all of a sudden the USDA is working at mach speed filling our saddle bags with heavy NAIS rocks."

The NAIS SURVIVAL TOOL KIT contains quotes and information from trustworthy journalists, real cattle producers, reliable attorneys, and USDA employees. Research starts with the Basics by attorney Judith McGeary, then NAIS Western Horseman polling data, documentation of the USDA conspiracy to "sell" NAIS, and the deceptive international political entanglements. It documents cost analysis, flawed thought that was conceived either from a desire to destroy the livestock industry or just plain ignorance of food production, animal health and food safety. Producers are totally mystified why NAIS is promoted by USDA with proposed budgets up to $400,000,000 to "make every livestock producer comply."

Print the KIT and be well informed. Inform everyone. Inform government employees who have never considered the pain and distress they will inflict on livestock owners if NAIS is fully enforced. Share the KIT with veterinarians and county extension agents. For printing go towww.naisSTINKS.com and touch NAIS TOOLKIT. Print PDF and select a 2-sided print text.

A valuable chapter is provided by the Australian Beef Association, chairman Brad Bellinger. It clearly documents the giant $350,000,000 cost of their ID system called NLIS. Five years ago producers were told NLIS would assist Australians in improved export sales, but now, fully operational, NLIS has ABA selling their beef for the second lowest prices of any major export beef country. All globally enforced ID schemes are proving to be profitable only to the governments, and ID equipment providers.

The 14 sheet (front and back) page KIT contains selected articles from www.naisSTINKS.com. Mark this site for 85 published articles equipping producers to protect themselves from a run-away government scheme. NAIS is not fully operational and can be truncated. Once a government enforcement program is fully active, the citizenry can never stop funding it. Use the KIT to protect yourself, your family and your grandchildren from NAIS enforcements, fines and Gestapo penalties.

FOREIGN TRADE ZONES, PERSONS & SPINNING THE LAW

ORF)  I've been pondering the creation of a new sub-class of persons residing in our nation illegally.  We are all aware of thetaxpayer entitlements people who have entered this country illegally expect and demand.  Elected officials are more than willing to gain political expediency at the expense of American sovereignty.  American employers are equally more than willing to exploit this sub-class of illegal persons living in our nation.  Why not spin the law, much like the politicians and unethical employers have, and create FORIEGN TRADE ZONES where these illegal persons work?  It's a stretch, but we've seen the 'stretch' in all things political that diminish American sovereignty.

Loophole in "Stimulus" - Illegal Aliens Will Get Tax Credits

"...Most U.S. taxpayers earning under $200,000 a year will receive tax credits amounting to $400 for an individual and $800 for a married couple filing jointly.

Though "nonresident alien individuals" are not supposed to receive the credits, the federal tax code defines a "resident alien" as anyone who meets the "substantial presence test." Under IRS code substantial presence is defined as (1) having lived in the U.S. at least 31 days in the previous year; and (2) at least 183 days over the previous 3 years. Thus, any illegal alien who entered the U.S. prior to May 2008 will be eligible for the tax credit.

Eligibility for the tax credit is also extended to people filing returns using Individual Tax Identification Numbers (ITINs) instead of Social Security numbers. While not all ITIN filers are illegal aliens, many are. Language that specifically excludes ITIN holders from receiving other tax benefits is deliberately missing from the language of the stimulus bill."

EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT: CARD CHECK

Title click to go the HERITAGE FOUNDATION website.

From the Heritage Foundation:

"Card Check and Voting Privacy 

The ability to vote in privacy with a secret ballot is a fundamental American right. It is a right that some in Congress now want to take away from American workers. The Employee Free Choice Act would strip workers of their right to vote on joining a union. Instead workers would be required to publicly sign a card in front of union organizers, leaving them vulnerable to threats, harassment, and abuse. It would also require companies to go to binding arbitration. This would lead to massive government wage setting in the economy while taking away newly unionized workers ability to vote to ratify collective bargaining agreements. "

THE UNITED STATES ISN'T A COUNTRY - ITS A CORPORATION

Title click to read this informative article by Lisa Guliani.

"The date is February 21, 1871 and the Forty-First Congress is in session. I refer you to the "Acts of the Forty-First Congress," Section 34, Session III, chapters 61 and 62. On this date in the history of our nation, Congress passed an Act titled: "An Act To Provide A Government for the District of Columbia." This is also known as the "Act of 1871." What does this mean? Well, it means that Congress, under no constitutional authority to do so, created a separate form of government for the District of Columbia, which is a ten mile square parcel of land."

"n essence, this Act formed the corporation known as THE UNITED STATES. Note the capitalization, because it is important. This corporation, owned by foreign interests, moved right in and shoved the original "organic" version of the Constitution into a dusty corner. With the "Act of 1871," our Constitution was defaced in the sense that the title was block-capitalized and the word "for" was changed to the word "of" in the title. The original Constitution drafted by the Founding Fathers, was written in this manner:

"The Constitution for the united states of America".

The altered version reads: "THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA". It is the corporate constitution. It is NOT the same document you might think it is. The corporate constitution operates in an economic capacity and has been used to fool the People into thinking it is the same parchment that governs the Republic. It absolutely is not."

COMEDY CENTRAL STARS THREATEN TO WALK WHEN FACED WITH CUTS

I found this little diddy while researching news on the economy.  Hollywood stars routinely scramble for face-time in front of the camera advocating for social reform and liberal political platforms.  Support for liberal reform and re-distribution of wealth have always been talking points for media stars wanting to advance their images as socially aware and empathetic to the plight of struggling low-income Americans and 3rd world nations.  Current economic crisis dynamics are hitting all Americans in the pocketbook as fears of another depression in the United States forces cutbacks in individual spending and earning; except for the stars of the Sarah Silverman show.  When told by Comedy Central execs the stars of the Silverman show would be facing cutbacks, due to a drop in ad revenue, the stars squealed in protest and threantened to walk.

Citing cuts imposed on the network by parent company MTV Networks, Comedy Central had proposed that the trio bring back the Writers Guild of America Award-nominated show at about $850,000 an episode, sources said, down from the $1.1 million an episode for the show's second season."
