Tree Trimming ► Open8 Hall Street New Haven, Connecticut
Thank you for your prompt response Saturday in the removal of a fallen tree limb on Hall Street. There is another branch from the same tree, that appears to be dead, across from 8 Hall Street, which if it falls, will take utility wires down with it. Please inspect and remove.

Although this bamboo has been trimmed, another house on the street has planted bamboo between the street and the side walk. Aren't there regulations about the height of plants in the curb strip?

This whole neighborhood needs more policing and traffic control. Townsend Ave. is a "state highway" so of course that seems to let the city off the hook for protecting the citizens living, waling, biking, etc. anywhere on or near it. The curve on it near the seawall seems to be a challenge course for drivers to see how fast they can navigate it to include going airborne with no regard for anyone else. Speed limits are a joke as is public safety!

This issue was mistakenly moved to Policing. It is being moved back to Traffic/Road Safety, to bring it to the attention of NHPD Traffic Enforcement Division, who are now monitoring this site and responding to traffic enforcement related issues.

The tree in front of my house is overhanging my porch roof. During past storms some branches had come down but luckily there was no damage to the house.

Traffic/Road Safety ► Open202-274 Woodward Avenue New Haven, Connecticut
The City of New Haven has removed the no parking signs on the East Shore Park side of Woodward Ave. The reason given for this by the Alderman was that there was not enough parking in the park and that it would slow down traffic on Woodward Ave. So instead of the city enforcing a no parking zone the residents on Woodward Ave have to put up with parking on both sides of the street. Has any consideration been given to the residents who have to back out of their driveways and not being able to see the oncoming traffic because parked vehicles block their view, and with little room to back out because of a car or truck parked across from their driveway? There is a lot of traffic on this street. This is an accident waiting to happen and I guess our Alderman and Mayor could care less.

Bread From Fresh Local Grains Now Available At The Coop!By Not Signed In | Tue, October 28 2014
I was really excited to learn that Green Mountain Flour has started delivering bread to the Brattleboro Food Coop. Green Mountain Flour's flour (is that redundant?) has been available at the coop for a while now, but not their bread.
It will be really nice not to have to go all the way up to Windsor to get great bread made from flour that was grown locally and milled just in time for each bake.

The Case of the Vanishing Farmer's MarketBy KAlden | Wed, July 16 2014
It seems like the Wednesday Farmers Market located on the Whetstone Path near the co-op is slowly disappearing. Of course it has always been a smaller market that the big Saturday one but today it was really surprising. There were only 2 small farms there-both selling very limited types of produce. No berries to be found anywhere. There was the flower man; a bakery with a few tasty looking morsels. the always popular Thai food truck (with a very long line); there may have been someone selling honey but that was it. Definitely not worth the trip if you weren't planning on going to the co -op (where I was able to find local blueberries).

Police Services eyes changes
Proposal suggests increase in costs of permits, tickets
In his five years as a student at Contra Costa College, not once during that time did he ever recall receiving a single parking ticket.
This semester, however, multimedia studies major Daniel Winter found himself buried with three.
"All of this sounds to me like (Police Services) is ratcheting up revenue," Winter said. "The county is broke, everybody is broke and they're looking for ways to get money."
Attempting to reach stability in a staggering economy, Police Services is awaiting response from the Governing Board to a district proposal raising parking permit and citation fees that will go into effect in the fall of 2010 if approved.
According to the parking proposal, scheduled for review by the district Governing Board today, there is a suggested increase in parking fees, raising term-length permits from $35 to $40 and daily permits from $2 to $3. Also, the price of parking violations will increase from $35 to $40 per ticket.
Alongside a $283,000 districtwide cut to Police Services, the state has changed its surcharge from $1.50 to $4.50 per citation, taking more money away from college revenue, Police Services Sgt. Jose Oliveira said.
District Police Services Chief Charles Gibson said the department had to reduce its staff and services because of the budget crisis.
"Now we'll have to reduce it even further because the state is reducing more," Gibson said.
Oliveira said, should the price of parking permits and fines not increase with the proposal, the program could potentially face an additional $30,000 service cut districtwide.
"We're just trying to recover from what the state is not giving us," Oliveira said.
Oliveira said the college has averaged about 2,000 citations per year in the last three years.
With the money generated by increasing the parking and permit fees, Police Services will be able to fund the salaries of more police aides and pay for more services, he said.
According to campus officials, risking fewer police aides on campus could pose a bigger threat to students than increased permit and ticket fees.
"We had to cut back on our budget for our safety aides, and often times, they are (the ones) walking the lots making sure we don't have nefarious characters," President McKinley Williams said.
"(The proposal) is one way to hire more parking and police aides to walk the campus and ensure our parking lots are safe," he said.
Additionally, the proposal also contains an initiative introduced by the district chancellor to make parking permits available online when one registers for classes, Oliveira said.
Gibson said, by making permits more available to students, the initiative plans to alleviate the long lines of students purchasing permits and textbooks commonly experienced during the beginning of the semester.
Some students disagreed with the proposal, saying that the increasing ticketing standards will be difficult to handle on top of other budget restraints.
When informed of the conditions of the measure, the members of the ASU voted against it, ASU President Kristina Bautista said.
"We voted no, because we were taking into consideration the other increases that are coming up, such as registration, units and books," she said.
Governing Board Student Trustee Christina Cannon agreed, adding on suggestions for alternative approaches.
"In the climate of so many budget cuts and fee increases, as a district we need to not follow along," Cannon said. "(We need to) stick to our values and ensure student success by not burdening them with other fees."
She proceeded to suggest priority parking, in which certain staff parking spaces be made available to students willing to pay a higher parking permit fee.
"We would need more facts and details, but (these are) just ideas," Cannon said.
In addition, a policy indicating that students choosing to carpool cannot pay more than $30 for parking permits will be further researched, she said.
"It's not a well-known situation, but it would help take off some of the budget," Cannon said. "We need to make sure we're critically thinking."
Should the proposal pass, students like Winter could experience greater financial strains if the parking regulations are not known to them.
For instance, student Eddie Hercules Morris III was issued a parking ticket at the beginning of the semester on the same day he decided to purchase a permit.
Oliveira confirmed, however, that the grace period is set for one full week and is extended to two if classes begin in mid-week.
With the amount of citations contested on grounds that they were wrongfully cited, Oliveira said that starting this semester, Police Services districtwide was given upgraded citation machines, allowing them to take photographic evidence of violations to submit to the County Office of Revenue Collection.
Winter believes Police Services' new approach this semester proves enhanced efforts to impede budget issues.
"(Police Services is) being aggressive and giving away tickets is a way to make money," he said.

Rhonda Ellis had three big bags of hats, gloves and socks crowding her office at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, plus more donations filling the back of her car, a tiny blue Honda Fit.
Then came Alphonso Emery, the director of diversity and human resources at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, who offered boxes and bags of shoes and shirts, followed by promises of more warm clothing from co-workers across the South Lake Union campus.
Two weeks before the start of a holiday drive to benefit Teen Feed, a Seattle group that provides meals and supplies to homeless teens and young adults, Ellis was already amazed at the outpouring of generosity.
"It's been really nice," said Ellis, an occupational health nurse at Fred Hutch who has started to distribute some of the donations a little early. "They've been calling me Santa Claus."
Still, that's only the beginning.
The formal drive, coordinated by the Hutch's Clinical Research Division, will run from Dec. 1 to 19. Ellis hopes to collect enough new socks, hats, gloves and hand warmers to supply the nearly 800 young people reached each year by the nonprofit, which was founded in 1987.

News in Brief
Justice Department Opens Probe Of Mass. School's Use of Shocks
The U.S. Department of Justice has opened an investigation into whether a Massachusetts special-needs school violates federal disability laws by disciplining students with electric-shock therapy.
The first federal probe of the Canton-based Judge Rotenberg Educational Center follows demands from more than 30 disability-rights groups. They say the facility's use of "painful and dehumanizing behavioral techniques violates all principles of human rights." They want the school to end the use of shock therapy.
School supporters, including the parents of students with autism, developmental disabilities, or emotional troubles, defend the schools methods. A school lawyer says the facility is safe and has always cooperated with authorities.

Thoughts on the Coming Election October 30, 2014Posted by Dr. Robert Owens in Uncategorized.

The Progressives in both parties may be the establishment now but they have always been and continue to be revolutionaries seeking to turn the American dream into a socialist nightmare.
Since the 1890s the Progressives have worked to change our American Experiment from a federal republic operating on democratic principles that recognized our God-given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness into a democracy where the government grants rights and pursues its own happiness.
Inch by inch, step by step they have worked to change one aspect and then another until today the cacophony of minute changes has become a centrally-planned federally orchestrated symphony playing Hail to the Chief.
We have transitioned from federal republic into an imperial bureaucracy controlled by a Chicago-raised Alinsky-style outfit determined to reduce us to abject obedience. This is the direct result of an education system captured by the Progressives delivering generations of uninformed voters and of the entitlement society delivering a near majority of citizens who get more than they give from the federal trough.
This should be no surprise to anyone. A country once famous for the political engagement of its citizens has raised generations on the dictum that neither religion nor politics were the subject of polite debate. The culture of media-hyped sports addiction and hedonistic indulgence has produced millions who know more about their favorite team or about the latest fashion than about their own government.
I don't know about you but I'm so tired of being lectured by people who get their news from Fallon, Letterman, Colbert, or the Daily Show that I have all but stopped speaking of anything of substance with most people. We have all developed ways to identify fellow patriots. We listen for anyone to say anything that will give us an indication that here is another American who realizes where we are and from where we have fallen. Then we have great conversations, comparing observations and trying to encourage each other that the United States as we have known it will survive four more years of America's Chavez.
Often I wonder, are we just singing to the choir, lighting a candle in the dark, or sticking our thumb in the dyke? Will our clandestine discussions on the fringes of a complacent society make any difference? Or are we merely whistling in the wind as our beloved country changes forever into the dead letters of a living constitution?
We have to admit that the Progressives have out maneuvered and out organized those dedicated to limited government. They have turned the world upside down. They captured the Corporations Once Known as the Main Stream Media turning them into a propaganda arm dedicated to suppressing the truth and giving the government party all the cover they need to do anything they want. They radically empowered the federal bureaucracy ceding it powers granted to Congress to set policy and make law. This red-tape machine has grown to become the largest organization in the world. It is ever-expanding and filled with career people dedicated to enlarging their private kingdoms and increasing the power of the nomenclature at the expense of the people.
The courts have been packed, the banks have been bought off, and the unions use legally mandated dues to support candidates and policies their unwilling members don't want. Check and check-mate. The situation has become so dire and the hour so late that it appears the only line of defense we have left between the USA and the USSA is a House of Representatives controlled by Progressive Republicans and the hope of a Senate controlled by the same crowd.
These Progressive Republicans want the same things as their Democrat counterparts: bigger government and more power even if they may want to drive us to the poor house a little slower.
There are a few younger ones who have been elected by the Tea Party such as Rand, Lee, and Cruz who are trying to make a difference. At every step the Progressive establishment in their own party tries to ridicule them into toeing the party line of compromise and surrender. The old bulls talk conservative to get elected then join hands across the aisles in a marriage of despotism with deceit.
The further we get from the puzzle factory in Washington one would think the closer we would get to our American heritage of government of the people, by the people, and for the people. However, the same uninformed disengaged voters form the majority all the way down to the precinct level. The community organizers have done their jobs very well. Try to name a state that isn't in debt. Try to name a county that isn't working to install Agenda 21, promote sustainability or cram its Master Plan down the throat of an unsuspecting public. Try to name a city, town, or village that doesn't have its good old boy network that manages to stay in power year after year.
Several years ago after an unsuccessful attempt to unseat an entrenched state senator from a gerrymandered district my wife and I decided to become involved on the local level to try and make a difference. We spent several years battling Agenda 21 while watching the good old boys win by hook or by crook either ignoring or fooling the voters. Maybe it's because I grew up in Chicago and was raised on the milk of "You can't fight City Hall?" Maybe it's because I have seen bribes work and honest petitions fall on deaf ears? Maybe I'm just a cynic at heart? Maybe it's true that a pessimist is what an optimist calls a realist? Or that there really are only two types of people optimists and pessimists and the pessimists are better informed.
Although we shall not go gently into that good night it appears we are in the twilight of our Republic and about to enter the sunset of liberty and the dawn of an America with a living constitution, a herd mentality, and a cradle-to-grave welfare state. If the bell has not tolled yet it is about to. Even if the Obama Zombies don't flock to the polls as directed and return Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House or even keep Harry Reid in control of the Senate so that a one party state can drive the final nail in Columbia's coffin, the swelling debt will eventually bring collapse. This is of course the end result of the Progressive's long march towards the realization of the Cloward-Piven Strategy for forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. After the engineered collapse these social planners believe they can impose any type of system they want on a public clamoring for relief.
Ready or not here it comes………………………..
So what can we do now that it has been done?
First of all we have to educate ourselves about American History and the principles of limited government. Principles which formed the cornerstone for our two century experiment with personal liberty, individual freedom, and economic opportunity so that we can educate future generations about who we were and what we hope someday to be once again. We can't teach what we don't know.
Then we have to build a library of books and DVD's that tell the story of America. For books look for reading lists at Tea Party sites, also check out conservative media people such as Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck for suggested readings. For DVD's the History Channel has produced many great series on such things as the Revolution, the Constitution, the Founders, etc. Individually or in local groups create an asset that our people can use to immerse themselves in the heritage of freedom.
Finally we need to stay engaged in the political process. Become involved with likeminded people and figure out what, where, and when is the best place for you to spend our political capital. None of us is as smart as all of us so if we all look for the way back to limited government eventually a spark will be ignited that will burn with the intensity of a thousand suns and a new chapter in freedom will begin.
In the upcoming election vote for whoever will step on the brakes as we rush to oblivion. There may not be any candidates that are independent enough to stay independent for long however at least there are a few who will vote to take the Federal Government's foot off the accelerator as we head for the fiscal cliff.
As patriots do what you can do. It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.
Keep the faith. Keep the peace. We shall overcome.

The once haute couture No Drama Obama has fumbled his way to the "What me worry?" of Alfred E. Newman.
After almost five full years of the coolest, smartest, least prepared president America has ever had it has become obvious, even to the Corporations Once Known as the Mainstream Media, that except for efforts to transform America into a Social Democracy we are rudderless.
In Josh Kraushaar's "Obama's Pass-the-Buck Presidency" in the National Journal we are told, "The president has a pattern of deflecting blame and denying responsibility." After an off-duty officer tackled the recent fence jumping knife totting intruder in the White House, after a gun totting felon was allowed on an elevator with the President, and after it was revealed that there have been more than a thousand security breaches on Obama's watch one Secret Service Agent told a Congressman recently, "We just keep getting lucky."
There in a capsule is our hope for America. Let's just hope we keep getting lucky. We have been able to survive the Clinton interlewd. We survived George II and his endless wars for peace. If we are lucky we will survive BHO and his campaign to remake America. That is a big if.
While President Obama seeks to throw the Intelligence Community under the bus for his failure to react to the rise of ISIL it turns out that he has been getting explicit warnings all year. Now we learn that he skips over half of his intelligence briefings or as one source at the State Department puts it "He receives briefings whenever he can." One Obama national security staffer said, "Unless someone very senior has been shredding the president's daily briefings and telling him that the dog ate them, highly accurate predictions about ISIL have been showing up in the Oval Office since before the 2012 election."
Maybe if we put the cover of Golf Digest on the intelligence briefings they would get a closer read? Perhaps somebody could put them in the 10 letters he reads every day to stay connected to the common people.
I don't believe that he isn't told. I don't believe he doesn't know. I believe he doesn't care. His only interest is in his agenda: the transforming of America. Anything outside of that is a distraction, and something to be shooed away until the polls say he has to do something. Except for the transformation processes it is government by reaction moving by fits and starts into the shabby dim future.
Whether you agree with the president's new war or not the fact that he seems to learn everything from watching the news should be disturbing to anyone. Especially since anyone who has been watching the news knew about ISIL at least since they captured Fallujah back in January. It makes me wonder what news is he watching: The Daily Show?
They called Reagan the Teflon President because no matter what happened nothing ever seemed to stick to him. Perhaps we should call BHO the Teleprompter President. It seems as if he doesn't read it on his teleprompter he doesn't know about it. Then again without the teleprompter and the Hollywood script writers he doesn't sound quite as slick as we usually hear him in his stage-managed photo ops.
Or perhaps it is as the Corporations Once Known as the Mainstream Media spin it, "Obama is so smart that his mouth can't keep up with his brain" This explanation resonates in Academia where Presidential Historian Michael Beschloss is on record stating that BHO is the smartest man to have ever been elected president even though he admits he has no idea about the president's IQ. Or as Mark Steyn explains the spin, he is just too smart to be President and we were too dumb to know he was too smart.
Just like the legions of economists who are constantly surprised by whatever seems to happen next, our Teleprompter President is waiting to see what he reads next to know what happened yesterday. Perhaps we should change our national anthem to "Don't Worry Be Happy," our national motto to "What me worry?" and our national pastime to watching BHO golf.
So while our soon-to-be lame-duck president rides his golf cart into the sunset singing, "It ain't me Babe, no, no, no it ain't me babe" blaming everyone else for everything or as Bart Simpson is wont to say, "I Didn't Do It, Nobody Saw Me Do It, There's No Way You Can Prove Anything!"

One day our grandchildren may ask us this question. Will we have an answer that will make us and them proud or will we have to sit silent knowing we stood silent when it was time to speak or remained passive when it was time for action? Now is the time for all believers in limited government to stand up and be counted. Now is the time for all who believe, "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" to remember "That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
The coming 2014 mid-term elections may well be the most important in our lifetime. America faces a crisis as profound as the Revolution and as divisive as the Civil War. This has been brought on by the Progressives who seek to fundamentally transform America through evolutionary means. Incrementally, one entitlement program, one regulation, and one tax rate increase at a time, these Evolutionaries have used class warfare, activist judges, a politically-correct education system, and a complicit media to create a dependent constituency. They've constructed a matrix of sports addiction, celebrity worship, and recreational prescription medicine that makes the bread and circuses of Rome appear as crude as they were effective. Welcome to the Brave New World.
In 2008 the Progressives achieved what the media called a "Veto Proof" majority in both houses. This was typical of the Progressive-controlled media's spin. With a fellow Progressive holding court in the White House there was no chance the long cherished dreams of national health care, massive interference in the economy, and expansion of the bureaucracy would be vetoed. The description of the majorities should have been "Filibuster-proof" meaning there was no way for the minority party to thwart the will of the majority. Even when the Democrats lost their 60th seat in the Senate with the addition of a Progressive Republican taking Teddy Kennedy's seat, they still had a filibuster-proof majority. The only reason they did not achieve more of their agenda such as amnesty for illegal immigrants is that members of their own party balked at a complete surrender of our heritage.
Fast forward to 2013 and after 3 years of the 2010 Tea Party led re-capture of the House Nancy Pelosi and her troops are chomping at the bit to finish their Evolution and drive the final nails in the coffin of limited government.
Those who wish to stop the mad rush into the arms of an all-embracing Federal Government must register! They must vote! They must do all they can to influence anyone and everyone to elect a true veto proof majority with the power and the will to reverse the slide into insolvency, which will trigger either a default upon our overwhelming debt or a collapse of our economy. Either of which opens the door for the current administration to impose their statist solutions irrevocably altering the nature of the United States. The name will remain the same but let no illusions of normalcy cloud your sight; this will be a new nation, the Obamanation.
In the coming mid-term elections it is imperative that those who wish to reverse course send a veto- proof majority in both the House and the Senate to Washington or President Obama will block every attempt to return to the traditional American model of limited-government. And even if this happens the newly awakened Patriots must realize their victory will energize the portion of the country desiring a European-style welfare state. They must realize just as Truman in 1948 ran against the "Do-nothing Congress" more than against Tom Dewey and Clinton in 1996 ran against the "Mean-spirited" Congress more than against Bob Dole, in 2014 Mr. Obama and his surrogates will run against the "Obstructionist" Congress more than against any individual opponents the Republicans might nominate.
The Town Hall meltdowns of 2009 and the Tea Party phenomenon of 2010 have surged across America as no spontaneous movement has in many years. The energy and enthusiasm of this grassroots explosion has rocked primaries from Coast-to-Coast. The political establishment in both parties were bracing for a tsunami of popular indignation at the ballot-box in 2012. Instead the republicans nominated another Progressive which left the conservative base sitting on the sidelines.
The Republicans managed to hold the House leaving the Democratic Majority Leader to lead well-disciplined troops in blocking every move the Conservatives make, and the media will hang the ensuing deadlock squarely around the neck of the Tea Party.
In 2014 to make sure that the rising Tea Party Samson successfully pulls down both the House and the Senate pillars of the Temple of Progressivism, the novice Conservative political activists need to understand voting is not enough. We need to exert every ounce of influence among friends, neighbors, and family to bring out an historic vote. We should stand ready to drive people to the polls, work the polls, do anything we can to plant the flag of Liberty once again in the capital of the Land of the Free and the home of the Brave.
Turning to the Word of God we're counseled, "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." Our Founders declared, when tyranny raises it head, when a government founded to ensure the rights of citizens begins to trample upon those rights their descendants should remember, "That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their safety and happiness."
As peaceful citizens let those who love Liberty use their guaranteed rights to write, speak, assemble, and vote to preserve what we've been given for our children and our grandchildren. Let every politician know, whether they wish us well or ill, that "we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty." If we will do this, if now that it's our time upon the stage we'll take a stand beside the Founders, the Framers, and the Greatest Generation when our children or grandchildren ask us, "Did you do anything to keep liberty alive? we will be able to say more than, "I didn't notice what was going on," or "I couldn't find the remote."

Why isn't it pointed out by the pontificating talking heads that every mass murder in recent memory has occurred in a legally declared "Gun-Free" zone? We might as well put signs in front of our schools, malls, army cafeterias and hospitals that say, "If you're a crazy person no one here is armed." Perhaps if we put a sign in front of these establishments that said, "Protected by Smith and Wesson" we would get better results?
Does anyone believe that disarming lawful citizens actually make lawful citizens safer?
Our fearless leaders are following the Progressive playbook to the letter. First and foremost "Never let a good crisis go to waste." Capitalizing on the tragedy caused by a sick person with a stolen gun these wannabe totalitarians see an opportunity to disarm their victims and they are preparing to make a move. They realize they won't be able to outlaw the private ownership of guns in America all in one fell swoop. However, their strategy is always two steps forward one step back. This is the same strategy that has worked so well for them in capturing the education system, the media, and the two major political parties.
Now they bring their previous conquests to bear to help them achieve a long cherished goal of a defenseless America that they can shape into the shabby and dismal centrally-planned highly regimented socialist nightmare they portray as Utopia.
The education wing has given them a dumbed down populace who have never studied the Federalist Papers enough to know the Second Amendment wasn't written to protect hunters. It was written to ensure the American public could stand up to any tyrants who would ever attempt to step on the throat of freedom.
The Corporations Once Known as the Mainstream Media beat the drum everyday calling for gun control, bullet control, an end to the freedom to buy and sell legal firearms or anything else they can dream up that moves their Progressive heroes closer to their goal: a gun free zone around every lawful citizen. In the meantime their entertainment wing churns out the vilest filth filled with violence and mayhem in movies and games. At the same time these pious hypocrites make money providing examples of chainsaw massacres and other scenes of slaughter, walk around with private security and send their children armed guards.
This has been accomplished in other lands. The Germans and the Russians were disarmed. Did that enhance their security? The Australians and the British have been disarmed. Has that enhanced their security? Does anyone seriously believe that criminals will not break gun laws? They are criminals. Breaking laws is what they do. Just as locks are only for honest people gun laws only disarm lawful citizens.
Should people who own guns keep them secure? Certainly. Should people with guns know how to safely use them? Certainly. Should we surrender our constitutionally guaranteed right to keep and bear arms? Absolutely not. These rights have already been infringed upon to the point where in most places it is not legal for most citizens to keep let alone bear arms.
Instead of meekly sitting still while our rights suffer further erosion we the people need to let our representatives know that we will not suffer any more incremental subversion of our liberty. We must let them know in every way that we will not go gently into the long dark night. We will not stand as sheep to be sheared of the rights given to us by our creator, recognized in our Declaration of Independence, and carved into the stone of our Constitution.
The masses of sheeple who have been bred by generations of government paternalism and educational propaganda are clamoring to be shorn of yet more of their heritage. Their cheerleaders from the anchor desk to the late night variety shows and their idols on stage and CD are herding them to the shearing pens. If we stand still for executive orders that contradict the plain intent of the Constitution we will deserve whatever we receive.
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. Now is the time for the patriot to say, "We have gone this far and no further." Freedom isn't free. It never has been and it never will be. If we want to preserve this land of liberty the time is coming when we will have to do whatever has to be done. And it might be time to live out some of the clichés we have used for so long:
Realize God created man, but it was Samuel Colt who made them equal as you keep your powder dry, locked, loaded, and determined not to bring a knife to a gun fight.
Keep the Faith. Keep the peace. We shall overcome

It Can't happen Here January 10, 2013Posted by Dr. Robert Owens in Uncategorized.

Revolutions happened in other countries. The USSR, their satellite countries in Eastern Europe and Asia, African countries, and of course those banana republics somewhere down south, but one thing is for sure, it can't happen here. Following in the footsteps of giants who have used these prophetic words of Sinclair Lewis I want to examine how it did happen here.
In the America of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, in the America we inherited from our forefathers we knew that there could never be a revolution. We had the Constitution with its checks and balances, its separation of powers, and its Bill of Rights. These were rock solid, carved in stone, and strong enough to preserve the Republic and safe guard the freedom of its people.
Besides the American people would not stand for some wannabe dictator and his brown, black or whatever color shirt followers marching through the streets and into the White House. The sons of the Pioneers wouldn't sit still for any attempt to curtail limited government, personal freedom, or economic opportunity. No way! No how! Others might accept censorship, surveillance, and rigged elections, but not us, not Americans. We had fought wars to defend our independence, wars to defeat totalitarianism; we had even fought wars to spread freedom. No, we wouldn't quietly allow homegrown tyrants to grasp the levers of power.
I sounds so comforting, "It can't happen here." If you take a beginning Political Science class in either High School or College you will learn how the government works. How bills become laws, how the legislature is made up of the freely elected representatives of the people, how the President runs the executive branch and the Supreme Court sits atop the judicial branch. You will learn about the Declaration of Independence and how the Constitution was written to replace the Articles of Confederation which were too weak to work. Yes, you will learn all about how it's supposed to work.
In most schools you will also learn that the Constitution is a "living Document" that can be re-interpreted to fit every generation and every age. The results of 100 years of re-interpretation have led us to the brink of ruin and me to recommend that the study of the Constitution be moved from Political Science to History, since what rules us today is legal precedent and bureaucratic regulation. The courts use foreign laws and traditions to interpret our laws and traditions. The legislature passes laws they don't read filled with thousands of pages of vague platitudes and goals that the bureaucrats fill in with no oversight and the force of law. And the President does whatever he wants and no one says a thing.
So how did America fall for the oldest con in the world: "Give me your freedom and I'll give you security?"
Those who wished to gain power had no ideology or theology which inspired them. They only sought power for power's sake. They espoused whatever populist themes gave them the broadest support. To bring as many interest groups as possible into their coalition they embraced an "I'm okay you're okay" relativity that rejected absolutes and extoled the fringe as the mainstream.
And all the while the decedents of the blacksmiths and farmers who once congregated on corners to discuss the latest political pamphlet or to debate the merits of economic policy snoozed on the couch waking up long enough to go to work or watch the game.
The Revolutionaries of the New America first took root in the faculty lounges of academia providing the intellectual and cultural cover for an American movement that promoted the opposite of everything America stood for. From the classrooms of our colleges, came the next generations of teachers, journalists, lawyers, artists, and politicians. Soon it was common knowledge that our once rock-solid Constitution was a Living Document to be twisted and changed whenever those in power found the need.
From here it was just a matter of time until a revolution was accomplished through evolutionary change. Once the centers of power were secure in Washington, Hollywood, and in the media the trickle of change became a torrent and the torrent became a tsunami. Two wings on the same bird of prey, perpetually re-elected representatives from the twin headed party of power pander to the lowest common denominators, buying votes, using taxes to punish enemies, and tax money to reward friends.
Our tyrants-in-training have captured the government and the economy, created a dependent class of motor-voters, convinced people that a continually growing debt is sustainable, and turned the government into the one who picks winners and losers instead of a free economy. The slow slide down a slippery slope has accelerated into a precipitous procession over a predictable precipice. To those who have seen this coming it is like watching a slow motion train wreck. The coming destruction is not mitigated in the least by the decades or warning.
Our prideful boast of it can't happen here has become a heart wrenching analysis of how it did happen here. How did the Progressives capture our land and subvert our Republic? They did it gradually inch by inch, step by step. When they lost a round they held their gains and as soon as possible recovered their long march toward a totally transformed nation.
How they changed it brings us to the question, "How do we change it back?"
Violent revolt is both repugnant and obviously suicidal to people who understand that once that genie is out of the bottle there is no way to know which way it will go, except that the odds are heavily against it ever landing back in a stable land of limited government and personal freedom. The power of the state is overwhelming. Millions of shot guns, pistols, and even those terrible assault rifles we are constantly being lectured about would make no headway against Abrams tanks and F-18s.
There are only two ways to have a successful peaceful revolution. One: the vast majority of the people must go on strike and refuse to operate as a society until the changes have been made. Or two: it must happen gradually line upon line verse upon verse always keeping the goal in sight and moving forward at every opportunity. In other words we must do to the new establishment what they did to the old: not overthrow it, supplant it, and replace it in the hearts and minds of the people.
We can rest assured that all people at all times eventually yearn for freedom thus the stage is set by the very nature of man that God imprinted on us in His creation. Free choice is the natural state of man and in the end we will return to it. This pall of totalitarianism which is falling like a shadow across the land will one day awake to find the light of liberty cannot be quenched forever.
What should we do? Education is the key. If you are not a teacher become one. Learn to show yourself approved. Teach anyone who will listen of freedom, of the true History of the American experiment. Become involved in any way you can to retake control of our education system so that we can train the coming generations to love freedom, truth, justice, and the American way.
And don't lose hope. God created us to be free, and though tyrants always seek to ensnare people in their self-serving systems we will one day be free again. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Remember what we thought couldn't happen here has and what they think can't happen to them will. Freedom will rise from the ashes and one day the light of liberty will once again burn brightly in America the beautiful.

Anyone who has read this column for any appreciable amount of time should have no doubt as to this author's opinion of Progressivism and its agenda for America. I have tried over the years to connect the Progressives to their roots and their objectives. I have attempted to expose their nefarious tactics and strategies. I have dedicated myself to highlighting the differences between the utopia the Progressives display as their goal and the collectivist quagmire that lies behind the facade.
In this election season I have pointed out that those who wish to foist a living constitution on an unwilling nation seek in reality not a framework for national life but instead a straightjacket of centralized regulations leading to the death of our Federal Republic. I began the primary season expounding on the many laudable qualities of Ron Paul. I stated unequivocally that I believed he was the only candidate on the scene who correctly framed the debate and offered a direct path back to limited government, personal liberty, and economic freedom.
The Corporations Once Known as the Mainstream Media along with all of the cable outlets made sure no one ever heard of Dr. Paul's deep thoughts, true agenda, or accurate election results. His candidacy was sabotaged by the supporters of the Status Quo.
Since the disappointing days of the primaries I have consistently pointed out that one candidate wanted to lead us to the Progressive gulag of class warfare, redistribution, and stagnation. I have also pointed out that the other candidate, while not a paragon of small government or an avid supporter of Tea Party values, would at least slow this express to the poor house and perhaps give liberty loving Americans an opportunity to rally round the flag.
The hour is too late and the outcome too important to use the subtle innuendo of the professional objectivity all Historians are trained to present. I am pleading with my fellow patriots to reject the Manchurian Candidate and vote for the square jawed President-in-waiting from central casting.
If that tongue-in-cheek recitation of manufactured verbal camouflage fails to convey the message perhaps this will seal the deal. Vote for Romney!
Yes, I know he's a big government guy. Yes, I know he is an interventionist waiting for an opportunity to intervene. However, he is also a venture capitalist who says he wants to make the social and political space that would allow we the people to once again venture to be capitalists.
He says the right things. Even his statement about the 47% was correct in its essence. Those who are riding on the gravy train will never vote to turn their pleasure cruise into a bus trip to work. His so-called gaffs reflect the thinking of conservative America more than the highest flying rhetoric of Mr. Obama.
The Progressive's champion, who has presided over the largest four year expansion of the National Debt in History, says he will stop the hemorrhaging of red ink by cutting programs and taxing the rich. In reality the budgets he has submitted project trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see. The President presents us with a divisive campaign about small things. He follows the standard Liberal Playbook and tries to divide the nation into voting blocks for use in building a winning coalition.
Governor Romney speaks the language of inclusion, addressing all Americans and holding out the promise of growing the pie instead of the Progressive's zero sum game of economic musical chairs. Last time America voted for change and what we got was a man who promised to fundamentally change America. And that was the only promise he has kept. Four more years and this wave of fundamental change will be solidified in legislation and habit and we will awake to find we aren't in Kansas anymore Toto.
Reject the hyperbole of envy and turn away from the claptrap of collectivist redistribution and vote for a return to Constitutional government. Urge your neighbors, call your friends, influence anyone you can to turn out and vote to turn over the regime. Vote to send Mr. Obama back to community organizing. Vote to send the Czars back to the teacher's lounge.
There are moments when the entire world trembles on the cusp of a great decision. America held its breath as the Framers debated in Constitution Hall what sort of a government we would have. Millions of citizens on both sides and millions of slaves held their breath as Mr. Lincoln and his Republicans battled the Confederate Democrats to see whether or not, "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." In the 1950s and 60s America following Eisenhower's lead and building upon traditional Republican support and votes for Civil Rights held its breath to learn if the last vestiges of the Democrat's Jim Crow Laws could be exorcised from our land.
Today History holds its breath to see if the descendants of the pioneers, the children of the Revolution have become so addicted to the Progressive's entitlement culture that they will vote to abandon the freedom which is their heritage and forge their own chains of dependency. We wait to see if the New Deal Democrat slogan, "Tax and tax, spend and spend, elect and elect!" has finally born the fruit of a permanent electoral majority committed to cradle-to-grave government support in exchange for Liberty?
Reject the siren song of free stuff and vote for freedom. In 2008, America voted for Obama and change. In 2012, vote for Mitt Romney and change it back!

In our current confrontation with Radical Islam the battle lines are portrayed as those between a secular society, us and a religious society, them. I reject this portrayal as a betrayal of the faith of our Founders and of those patriotic Americans who still hold fast to Jesus as God and Savior, we too are a religious people.
America was founded as a Christian country. Anyone who denies that has not studied enough History or has been sadly misled. Columbus accentuated his desire to spread the Christian faith to his patrons the King and Queen of Spain and in his log. The first thing the English did upon landing at Jamestown was set up a cross to dedicate their endeavor to Jesus their Savior. Were these early explorers and colonists always true to their faith? Did they always operate under principles derived from God's Word? Sadly they did not. However, to say that the Christian faith was not an integral part of their motivation and worldview is simply not true.
In the latter part of the twentieth century Progressive leaders pushing a collectivist agenda decided to declare us a pluralistic society. They sought to detach the heavily Bible influenced Constitution into the dustbin of History by substituting what they call a living constitution for the rock-solid one the Framers bequeathed us. Mr. Obama, the quintessential Progressive in his speech to the Muslims of Egypt, Turkey, and many places spices up his apology tours by asserting that America is not a Christian country. This statement of his belief and goal does not make it true.
All of these recent changes aside, most Americans still believe in God and the majority consider themselves Christians. As a Christian, an Historian, and a Political Scientist in response to numerous questions I would like to share my beliefs concerning government, economies, and the rights of man.
As far as a government goes the only Biblically correct one is that God is God and we are His people. He is the King and we are the sheep of His pasture. As concerning an economic system God's economy knows no lack and is exceedingly abundantly provisioned by the owner of the cattle on a thousand hills.
This being true I do not believe that God mandates any type of human government or economic system as pre-ordained, sanctified, or holy. However, I do believe that humanity as God has created it does require certain governmental and economic conditions to develop and thrive as God intended.
God created us in His own image. He gave us the power to create and to choose. He gave us a mind open to learning and ever eager to improvise. He also gave us what I believe is the most crucial aspect of our make-up: our free will or the power to choose. We can choose to follow Him and do what He desires, or we can choose to follow the leadings not only of our thoughts but of our emotions also. In other words we can dwell within the Kingdom of God wherein He is our King and we are His people or we can choose to live in the Kingdom of man and become the subjects of either our own designs or of whoever manages to gain control of the physical world around us.
If God wanted slaves or robots He could have created slaves or robots. Instead He created us and gave us a mind to think and a will to choose because He wanted us to decide to love Him and follow Him freely without compulsion. Therefore I believe that since free thought and free choice are the foundation of man's nature freedom is necessary if man is to live as God designed. This being the case I believe that any governmental or economic system that denies man's freedom interferes with and attempts to supplant God's plan, which is the definition of evil.
There are of course limits to freedom as expressed in the Ten Commandments. Beyond this we should be free to choose our own way. Will we follow God or will we follow man. Within these limits and building on the moral framework the Bible provides I believe that a republic based upon the commitment to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness using democratic principles is the governmental structure which most closely matches man's God-given nature. I also believe that free market capitalism is the economic system which best allows man to develop and live as God intended. Conversely, when man rejects God and seeks to create his own utopia he builds some sort of centrally-planned command economy and the intrusive government needed to impose it upon others.
A free economy and the free government it requires allows the independent choices of many to produce the greatest prosperity for all as everyone seeks to do the best they can because they reap the rewards. In a socialist or any type of hybrid economy between capitalism and socialism bureaucrats make the decisions and stagnation is the inevitable result. As Gary North, a Christian economist expresses it, "The essence of democratic socialism is this re-written version of God's commandment: 'Thou shalt not steal, except by majority vote.'" Or as Winston Churchill observed, "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." And that is not life as God intended.
If we look at History it is an outworking of the initial fall of man. In the beginning God created the world including man and it was all good. Then at the dawn of our existence we choose to go our own way instead of following God. We chose to follow the siren song of "You shall be like God" and ever since we have attempted to create heaven on earth. All we have succeeded in doing is to open the gates of Hell instead. A case in point would be the age-old question, if God is good why is there evil in the world followed by the age-old answer God gave us free choice and we chose evil.
With the help and guidance of those who seek to play god themselves humanity has often been convinced to surrender their freedom for security, to bargain away their God-given nature and assume the subservient nature of slaves.
In America the purveyors of socialism cloak their designs in the language of populism. They loudly proclaim that they seek a fair deal for everyone, except of course for the people they intend to loot. They want fair elections as long as nothing is done to stop fraudulent voting. They want equality enforced by unequal treatment. In other words they seek to build the kingdom of man where they can be king.
We have a mind to think and the capacity to make a free choice. As the day of reckoning draws near all I can recommend is, think and choose. We can choose to follow the path of redistribution, class warfare, and collectivist dependency or we can choose to at least attempt a return to limited government, personal liberty, and economic freedom. Don't be fooled by the progressive media and their obvious bias. To be free is God's design. For us to be a slave to dependency is man's.
One of America's most beloved troubadours told us, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls" and one of those secular prophets he was referring to reminded us "You're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed You're gonna have to serve somebody, Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord But you're gonna have to serve somebody."
Or as my favorite book says it, "And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

Why Does Affirmative Action End at the Gridiron? October 19, 2012Posted by Dr. Robert Owens in Uncategorized.

add a comment
Have you ever pondered the fact that everyone being endowed with equal rights by our creator works out so naturally while the equality of outcome that our Progressive would-b-masters seek to impose is impossible to achieve without treating people differently? Have you ever noticed that whenever the government wishes to give anyone anything they have to first take it from someone else?
Since everyone obviously has different skills, talents, and ambitions people inevitably perform and produce at different levels. Therefore to make everyone end up in the same place it is necessary to hold some back and artificially advance others.
For example if we wanted to treat everyone equally with regard to taxes we would have a flat tax with no deductions as in everyone pays 10%. If you make one million dollars or one thousand dollars you pay 10%. That would be equal treatment before the law and in my opinion that would be fair. However in the Progressives version of a fair tax system designed to promote equality, people who earn different amounts are taxed at different rates. If you earn more you pay more. That may sound good to some, but how is it fair?
In education if equality was really the desired result everyone would be judged by the same standards for admission regardless of race, creed, color or any other mitigating factor. Everyone would take the same tests and everyone would be graded exactly the same with admission based upon the score. In the world of American Academia as administrated by the Progressives categories of people are judged by different standards and they call this fairness.
Look at the bewildering array of social programs that have been implemented to ensure equality and fairness in the Progressive utopia. From food stamps and free cell phones to state subsidized education in criminal justice for convicted felons, these ill-conceived and often abused programs turn the safety net into a hammock that beg the question Ayn Rand was known to ask, "At whose expense?" If someone gets free food, free education; free anything the question we should ask is, at whose expense? The next question should be, do those who are paying the freight for this pleasure cruise do so voluntarily or are they being coerced? If they are being coerced into paying for someone else's benefits what makes this any different than theft?
It's as if the Progressives have tried to change our original national motto from" E Pluribus Unum" to "Stand and Deliver" or have they changed our present national motto "In God We Trust" to "You Can't Fight City Hall." Or as if the new national anthem should be, "Happy Days Are Here Again – Unless You Work For a Living."
One of the most often quoted and misquoted statements concerning History tells us, those who do not learn from History are doomed to repeat it and today we are seeing the fruits of this truism. The two great revolutions of the eighteenth century, the American and the French, were mirror images of each other in several important ways. The American Revolution made a declaration to the entire world that the rights they sought were endowed upon all men by their creator. The French in the Declaration of the Rights of Man placed government as the source of these rights. The American Revolution sought to rid themselves of an all-powerful government with a limited government so that individuals could be free to prosper on their own. The French sought to replace an all-powerful government based upon birth with an all-powerful government based on merit believing that where the former one wanted to maintain the status quo with elites on top while the latter one would promote equality with elites on top.
The American experiment created the freest, richest, most powerful country in the History of the world. In France after the Terror, after the Triumvirate, and after the Empire the people saw that they had merely replaced one elite group with another. Then the Kings came back.
In America today our federally controlled education has led to generations of people who have never learned History or Civics. Now the progressive Pied Pipers are leading the uninformed to exchange the equality of opportunity our Founders established for the equality of outcome Europe has chased after since the French Revolution. With a public not knowing enough to know the difference these bait and switch tactics seem to be working, and after one hundred years of a living constitution the Constitution is nearly dead.
We have one more election to stem the tide as we look for a chance to reverse the flow and return America to limited government, individual freedom, and economic opportunity. If we miss this opportunity we may soon experience the equality of mediocrity as we descend into the collectivist pit of self-immolation. This pit is typified by big government programs meant to redress some perceived inequality. Redressing inequality sounds good. The problem lies in the fact that to do so you need a big enough government to enforce the desired result, and governments are made up of fallible people who all have their own prejudices and desires.
James Madison, in Federalist 51 reflected that, "If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary." Men aren't angels. Which is why he continued, "In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself."
One program which serves as a fitting example of the impossibility of living a consistent life when trained, framed and constrained by the attempts to impose an artificial man-made, government enforced equality is Affirmative Action. Which some may argue has now reached the White House.
Why Does Affirmative Action End at the Gridiron?
Even the Colleges that are the most rapid in their interpretation and enforcement of Affirmative Action seem to forget these artificial standards when it comes to their sports teams. Have you ever wondered why that is so? Because they want the best players on the field no matter what the ratios of black, white, yellow, red, straight, gay or other.
Don't fall for the siren song of something for nothing, for affirmative this, and equality that. Don't let the perpetually re-elected hucksters fool you with their promise of a fair shot, a square deal, or of making someone else pay their fair share. When everything is put in one pot and it is supposed to be divided equally it always seems that those who do the dividing get the fairest share of all.

Christopher Webster [Celluloid 09.27.10] movie review horror thriller
Year: 2010
Directors: Adam Green
Writers: Adam Green/
IMDB: link
Trailer: link
Review by: agentorange
Rating: 6 out of 10
It's my feeling that critics are being a little too easy on Adam Green's Frozen. I guess in a way I can see why. After the gleefully gory fun of Hatchet the relative newcomer was proclaimed the great white hope of indie horror and everyone awaited what he'd do next. Chairlift horror? Didn't see that coming! Unfortunately, looking beyond the high concept of three people trapped on a chairlift, Green's script feels like a first draft and the plotting is repetitive and kind of sloppy when it should be unpredictable and nail bitingly suspenseful. Wolves? Again? Really?
This isn't to say Frozen is a "bad" horror film. It's more like an average indie thriller with a good concept, or a noteworthy sidestep into the survival genre. And considering Green could have shot this on camcorder and called it a "found footage film," I think he makes a good case for wanting to be considered a classic filmmaker. But, even though Green shows talent, at the end of the day the story just can't seem to sustain a feature length film and I doubt many people will revisit it once they give it a spin.
Things that DO work: The three main actors are all good and work well with what they are given. You really feel like the characters are freezing to death. Two bits of practical gore FX are truly cringe-worthy. The ending is subtlety ambiguous unlike Hatchet.
Final thoughts? Not sure how this made it into Sundance. Watch with friends for maximum enjoyment.

Frozen was better than I expected. That said, why didn't they just tie their clothes together to get down?
BTW, since you're reviewing EIFF films, I'd love to know what you think of The Academy. It looks amazing. 80's action in a grindhouse setting. Runner up for best special effects at this year's Action on Film Festival. Playing tonight!

Thanks for the reminder!
Love this poem!
If you can stand for Liberty and have a chance to win the Presidency, only to be snubbed and cheated... YOURS IS THE WORLD!
Thank God for Ron Paul!!!!!!! and the Daily Paul!
Freedom is the ability to do what you want to do.
Liberty is the ability to do what you ought to do.
"Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." 2 Corinthians 3:17
My Favorite Poem
LOVE this poem....I too posted it here a year or 2 ago and have a copy on my wall!
"Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom." Patrick Henry
I believe it should pretty much be called
U.N. Zionism for Globalization.
It got very obvious that the United Nations invented Zionism, Communism, Islam, Darwinism and all the other plots as a way to concentrate all power into Jerusalem.
These are aethiests...
Herzl was the first of many traitors perhaps, yet they all had the same idea. Start the wars by deceit, force or pleasure. Then seize the city of Jerusalem until all trade is consolidated in one bank.
Take it entirely over and rule the world from Jerusalem.
Rename Jerusalem to be called Babylon.
