Bloomington - Normal Central Planning Pt3

     The US Mayors Conference which Mayor Koos is a member, also endorses the Earth Charter written by Socialist Maurice Strong and Communist Mikhail Gorbachev former leader of the Soviet Union. Interestingly Strong is a former Secretary General of the United Nations and huge proponent of Sustainable Development even though he currently lives in China, his company builds an average of one Coal Plant per week. Consequently Strong himself is one of the world’s biggest polluters. Maurice Strong was also involved in the UN oil for Food Scandal when he endorsed himself a check for $988,885 dollars. Strong also was a stockholder and board member of the Chicago Climate Exchange and stood to make billions if Cap and Trade Legislation was passed. Maurice Strong after the 1992 Conference in Rio said “Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? And isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?”


     Mikhail Gorbachev former leader of the collapsed Soviet Union standing with Maurice Strong at a news conference about the Earth Charter stated ““We have, I believe, to gear consumption to peoples cultural and spiritual needs also through culture and education and within the framework of laws, we shall address the problem of controlling the world’s population.” Mr. Gorbachev also stated that he hoped the 16 principles of the Earth Charter would be the New Ten Commandments.

     A Normal City Council member two years ago was asked if they had ever heard of the Earth Charter? The reply was “ Yes, we have passed it around the council.” Bloomington City Council Member Jennifer McDade played a active role in bringing Dr. Peter Blaze Corcoran an author of “Earth in Action” and a huge proponent of the Earth Charter and an advisor to the United Nations to Illinois State University. As an advisor for the Earth Charter Initiative (ECI), Corcoran provides leadership to guide the transition to a more sustainable global community. An Illinois State University website promoting the event stated “ Corcoran will facilitate a dialogue among the participants about Current and Future possibilities for campus and Community Collaborations.”

     Council Member McDade was given all the information in this article and graciously responded to two questions that I asked:

Question 1: Are you a proponent of the Un Earth Charter?

Answer by Council Member McDade:

Outside of my professional responsibilities for the Peter Corcoran event (which was part of my work assignment at Illinois State University), I am not involved with the Earth Charter

Question 2: Are you actively pushing for the principles of the Earth Charter for the City of Bloomington?

Answer by Council Member McDade:

No. I am not familiar enough with the document to comment on the accuracy of your statement below.


     The Earth Charter is overwhelmingly about Transnationalism. Why are so many local officals looking at the Transnational Earth Charter instead of the US Constitution?

Some Principles from The Earth Charter:

3. Build democratic societies that are just, participatory, sustainable, and peaceful.

a. Ensure that communities at all levels guarantee human rights and fundamental freedoms and provide everyone an opportunity to realize his or her full potential.

b. Promote social and ECONOMIC JUSTICE, enabling all to achieve a secure and meaningful livelihood that is ecologically responsible.

Adopt at all levels sustainable development plans and regulations that make environmental conservation and rehabilitation integral to all development initiatives.

Guarantee the right to potable water, clean air, food security, uncontaminated soil, shelter, and safe sanitation, allocating the national and international resources required.

After reading these brief examples ask yourself who granted the New “Rights” to water, clean air, food, and Security? In Addition, ask yourself who is going to oversee the promotion of Economic Justice or wealth Re-Distribution and the universal development plans? Economic Justice in the Earth Charter is talking about taking from the Carbon Producers (The United States) and giving our wealth and energy to the rest of the world. And who has the capability or would like to have the capability to provide an armed force that can guarantee a right to security? Now do you still really believe that all of these sustainable development ideas are originating from the residents of Bloomington- Normal and it’s all about beautification?

Bloomington Normal Central Planning Pt 2

     Transnationalism defined by Wikipedia refers …to global co-operation between people, and points to activities, which transcends national boundaries and in which NATION-STATE GOVERNMENTS do not play the most important or EVEN A SIGNIFICANT ROLE. Basically a borderless society and an end to national sovereignty. A website called Focus the Nation reported:


   “ Normal's leaders, like Mayor Koos and Mike Matejka, see this and are trying to make the right choices as their community grows. But they need help! They need their State government to invest in their McLean County's mass transit instead of widening their superhighway. They need a federal climate bill that'll REGULATE CARBON PRODUCERS and invest in the clean energy economy. And finally, they need an INTERNATIONAL TREATY that'll stop polluters from running and hiding in developing countries, while still producing the green house gases which will destroy life as we know it.”

     In addition, a Yale Law School study in 2008 refers to the US Mayors Conference as a Transnational Organization: We begin with the U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM), as the Mayors Climate Protection Agreement provided our opening example of translocal transnational policymaking.

     Mayor Koos in the spirit of Transnationalism bypassed the US Congress and signed an International Treaty, a Treaty so harmful to the United States that even the US Senate found “Consensus” and overwhelmingly refused to ratify it. According to the website Greenspanworld.org Mayor koos said “Supporting the US Mayors Climate Protection Agreement is a no-brainer for me.” By signing this treaty the Mayor has committed the City of Normal to the following:

1. Strive to meet or beat the Kyoto Protocol targets in their own communities, through actions ranging from anti-sprawl land-use policies to urban forest restoration projects to public information campaigns (Our opinion The Call for High Density Housing with fewer parking spaces and the formation of Ecology Centers)


2. Urge their state governments, and the federal government, to enact policies and programs to meet or beat the greenhouse gas emission reduction target suggested for the United States in the Kyoto Protocol -- 7% reduction from 1990 levels by 2012. (Our opinion this is why the push for bike paths, electric cars, thermostat and mileage controls)

3. Urge the U.S. Congress to pass the bipartisan greenhouse gas reduction legislation, which would establish a national emission trading system (Our opinion: Appears to be a commitment to Job Killing Cap and Trade Legislation and the entire scam of trading carbon emissions.)

High Speed Rail Protestors

Protesters question high-speed rail in the face of budget deficits


Story Discussion By Mary Ann Ford
mford@pantagraph.com
Posted: Friday, January 29, 2010 9:00 pm


 Not everyone at Friday’s news conference supported spending $8 billion for high-speed rail.  Several people gathered at the Amtrak station held signs and even made negative comments while Sen. Dick Durbin was speaking. They questioned projections of economic growth from high-speed rail spending and the wisdom of spending so much money in the face of mounting state and federal budget deficits.
“I’m really upset,” said Jeff Strange of Bloomington.While officials say the money will help produce jobs and bring economic development, Strange said similar systems in other countries don’t work and taxpayers end up paying.  In addition, he said, the claim that a $1 billion infusion will produce 20,000 jobs is based on freight rail, not high-speed passenger rail.

Don Tolan of Minonk held a sign that read: “Quit spending my money, my kids’ money, their kids’ money, their kids’ money, their kids’ money.” “I’m tired of politicians spending money like there’s no limit,” he said. “We’ve doubled our deficit in one year.”

Plane or train?  Laura McNeil of Normal also held a sign, but not to protest high-speed rail.
“I’m bothered by the fact they’re here to promote Amtrak but they didn’t ride the train,” she said.

Gov. Pat Quinn, Durbin and several other officials at the conference flew from Chicago to Alton and then to Normal to talk about the $1.2 billion the state received from the high-speed rail stimulus plan President Barack Obama unveiled Thursday.

McNeil said riding the train would be much cheaper — something the state should be thinking about in the midst of its budget. “Last year, my kids got $4,000 in MAP grants,” she said, referring to the state’s Monetary Award Program for college students. “This year, they got nothing.”

Quinn and Durbin said using the plane was a matter of scheduling. “I’m the governor of Illinois,” Quinn said. “I can’t spend all my time on one thing.” Quinn said besides spreading the message about high-speed rail Friday, he also had to work on the state’s budget.

Secretary Lahood or Behavior Czar?

Transportation Secretary Lahood will be speaking to the McLean County Chamber of Commerce. As a former congressman from Illinois Lahood stated:  “I think high speed rail is a bad idea because we don’t have the money to fund routes that currently serve Illinois.” However, since Lahood is now a member of the President’s cabinet he is pushing a train that averages 55 to 75mph as high speed rail.

The federal stimulus for high speed rail is $13 billion with a bill in the US House calling for $50 billion more over the next six years. Japan’s National Railway recently forced citizens to absorb $200 billion in losses and the European Union spends $100 billion a year subsidizing rail.

Proponents of High Speed Rail suggest that for every $1 billion dollars spent 20,000 jobs will be created. But these job creation estimates are based on spending for freight rail, not passenger rail. That figure also works out to $50,000 per job many of which would be temporary.

According to the Illinois Policy Institute high speed rail is part of the Obama Administration's "livability" campaign to reshape the lifestyles of average Americans. Secretary Lahood has stated “About everything we do around here is government intrusion into people's lives,” and "It is a way to coerce people out of their cars." In LaHood’s quest for controlling Americans and promoting sustainability the unintended consequence is Unsustainable debt and loss of liberty on the backs of the forgotten working man.

Railway to Gateway

The issues of high-speed rail and government control of the Internet and news media have been rising in popularity among the people of our state and nation.
First, local and state politicians have been pushing and deceiving the public with so called high-speed rail in Illinois.
By definition, high-speed rail is any passenger train that travels over 120 mph and the rail line being promised for Normal tops out at 110 mph and will average a speed of 56 mph reducing the current rail trip from Chicago to St. Louis from 5½ hours to 5 hours.
Second, The Obama administration has declared war on anyone from news organizations, bloggers and private citizens who oppose their policies. This is behavior that you would witness from Hugo Chavez, Castro or Mao Zedong, not from a president of the United States.
However, frustration turned to optimism once I found out that Kristina Rasmussen, executive vice president of the Illinois Policy Institute, who has been featured on CNN and CSPAN, and Jim Hoft, proprietor of the "Gateway Pundit," are coming to speak at the Illinois State University Alumni Center on Nov. 11.
Kristina Rasmussen is an expert on the myth of high-speed rail and Jim Hoft's blog is read by 1.5 million people each month and he is credited with forcing Obama's communist Green Czar Van Jones to resign.
An educated populace is the best defense against soft tyranny.

Leftist Churches in Twin Cities


All of america thanks to countless media stories has heard of the "Religous Right." However, do to virtually no media coverage hardly anyone has heard of the "Religous Left." The religous leftist churches promote social justice and liberation ideology. These churches long ago stopped trying to save souls and encourage people to accept Jesus into their hearts to achieve a inner peace and joy. In sharp contrast, leftist churches preach political ideology and their followers are filled with anger about the injustices of those who Have alot and those who Have little.

According to the book "Betrayel of the Church" written by Methodist ministers Edmund and Julia Robb: "Alex de Tocqueville over 175 years ago observed that it is extremely dangerous for clerics to become involved in politics of any persuassion. When they do he said they are identified with their politics instead of their faith. One of America's great strengths was that the churches had not compromised their belief by acting out their secular opinions... As a result belief had remained unshaken."

There are a variety of reasons why someone would accept marxist teachings within a church:

1. Only the Minister and a small group within the church staff know about the real causes their dollars support.

2. A member may hear a few things that peeks their senses, but he or she doesnt want to cause any trouble within the church.

3. The person feels guilt for not doing much to help those in need , so they feel helping to finance
efforts to help those in poverty excuses the marxist overtones.

4. The person is insecure, stressed by life, fearful of the future and likes the Secuirty that an Authoritarian figure in a marxist realm would bring to their life.

5. The person is angry and blames the United States for all the world's problems. The marxist teachings of social justice appeals to them.

6. The person chooses to see and hear no evil, about the actions being conducted in their church's name. Knowledge would mean responsibility and they don't want that.

7. The person feels it is wrong that some people have alot, while others have little.

8. The person is self destructive and feels they deserve the horrific consequences marxism would bring to America.

9. The person has lost faith and marxism feels a void and gives them something to belive in.

10. The person is a true beliver in marxist & communist ideas and wants to promote Revolution.

It is difficult to understand how a church would align themselves with communist regimes around the globe with social and financial support and choose to ignore the politcial prisoners, the often thousands of innocent men, women and children who are murdered for refusing to conform to the marxist belief system, and in many cases the persecution of Christians for refusing to bow down and acknowledge governtment, or the great dictator as the supreme ruler. Perhaps, the most difficult thing to comprehend is that these ministers do not realize if a true marxist revolution occured in America they might be the very first people the regime would execute.


Here is a link to website of an African American male who blogs a warning to America about President Obama, Religion and the possible dire consequences for the United States:

Latinos United for Change / CIOP & Che Guevara


Latinos United for Change is a project of the Central Illinois Organizing Project. They want full immigrant rights; however, on their myspace page their logo for L.U.C. is the Communist Clinched Fist that you can view at this link:
http://www.myspace.com/LatinosUnitedForChange

This salute is used by social activists of a Leftist, Anti Fascist, Communist, Marxists, and Black Nationalists mindset. It is reguarded as a symbol of solidarity, strength, and defiance. Amoung socialists and communists it is sometimes called the "Red Salute."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che%20Guevara

In addition, if you go to some of their members myspace pages( who are NPA trained Organizers for CIOP) in the photos section they have pictures of Che Guevara a Marxist Revolutionary and mass Murderer.

Che Guevara lost every real armed conflict during his glorified military career. He did win thousands of battles over his opposition after he had them blindfolded, gagged, and hands bound. Upon his 1959 arrival in Cuba he quickly ordered the execution of 2,500 such men.

Che Guevara trained Castro's firing Squads and is responsible for the murders of thousands of your fellow Latin Americans. Thousands of freedom loving latinos gave their lives fighting Che Guervara and the communist sytem of slavery he was trying to impose on them.
For great information about Che and who he really was watch the educational clips at the very end of this music video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J33-28DmCCY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlJ2JI9hwt0&feature=related


Cuban - American fighters from the Bay of Pigs still laugh at Che's legendary military exploits. The fighters sailed a boat full of fireworks and audio recordings playing the sounds of a fake battle. Che bravely grabbed his pistols and a thousand men and spent the entire Bay of Pigs Battle fighting a boat with an Audio recording.

Latinos United for Change and CIOP, would be better served learning about George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and the Greatness of America than failed marxist and communist killers. America is a land of great opportunity and promise I urge you to take advantage of that and not align yourself with marxist groups like NPA.

NPA , CIOP, Soros and Acorn Link


The National Peoples Action and the Central Illinois Organizing Project are often too quick to point out that they are not ACORN. Acorn is quickly being exposed by Glen Beck as a possible criminal organization and National Peoples Action (NPA) wants to distance itself from this negative perception. However, NPA may be something much scarier than Acorn. NPA are the die hard true believers in Saul Alinky's utopia of social, economic and racial justice. The question is who decides what justice is in their wealth re -distributionist influenced minds. In the 2oth century Marx like movements in the name of social, economic justice murdered 120 million of their own people.

In addition, during the Presidental election campaign Obama said to his followers " get up in their faces," That is what NPA does better than anyone. Perhaps NPA's activities is that the media should be reporting about, not law abiding senior citizens speaking at townhall meetings.

According to Front Page Magazine's Richard Poe:
In the age of Soros, mainstream Democrats have embraced the thuggish tactics of NPA (National Peoples’ Action) and similar groups. The sudden emergence of street thugs as a force in U.S. politics calls to mind the elevation of similar groups overseas, where Soros often bankrolls street radicals with a zest for physical confrontation. Readers should note that NPA receives funding from the Tides Foundation — an institution to which Soros contributes generously (more than $13 million between 1997 and 2003).2 Caos Blog 10/27/2007
caosblog.com

So Front Page Magazine points out that NPA recieves money from the Tides Foundation, which recieves millions from George Soros. The Tides Center former Board Chairman was Wade Rathke, who also serves as President of the New Orleans based Local 100 SEIU and is the founder and chief organizer of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now(ACORN.) In Addition, Rathe has also served on Boards for the AFL - CIO which is affilated with our own Central Illinois Organiziang Project, (CIOP.)
DISCOVERTHENETWORKS.ORG

Wade Rathke is the founder of a movement he designed called "The Welfare Rights Movement." Rathke calls this "The Maximum Eligible Participation Solution." The method of operation is to get as many people on the welfare rolls and demand every single dime that they can recieve.
This is simply the Cloward- Piven Strategy which was designed by two Marxist Professors in a "Nation" article in 1966. The article was called "The weight of the Poor," The two marxist authors intended to devise a method for a "massive drive to recruit the poor onto the welfare rolls in a effort to overwhelm our system causing it to collapse.

Newsrealblog.com blog written by Mathew Vadum

Now ask yourself are the radicals at the Tea Partys, or are they ones in DC who are friends with President Obama? It is horrifying to know that organizations right here in the Twin Cities are all connected to these people in an effort to promote social, economic and racial justice. Many of these organizations do good things in their communities, but note they have a far larger agenda that goes beyond Central Illinois and it doesn't involve liberty.

Saul Alinsky is in the Twin Cities


Great Video shows several Saul Alinsky quotes:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O698nAyN0Hw

There are Community Organizations in Bloomington Normal (NPA) who have been schooled on Saul Alinsky's Book "Rules for Radicals." Saul Alinsky dedicated his book to Satan: " Lest we forget, an over the shoulder acknowlegment to the very first radical:

"From all legends, mythology, and history ( and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins --- or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that at least he won his own kingdom --- Lucifer."

Author David Horowitz explains Salinsky's dedication this way: " Alinsky begins by telling readers what a radical is. He is not a reformer of the system but its would be destroyer."

The above quotes are from David Horowitz's Blog:

Cash Bribes for Clunkers


Alexis de Tocqueville said, "The American republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's own money."
The U.S. Congress is unconstitutionally bribing the American people with $4,500 to buy cars in the "Cash for Clunkers" program.
Many struggling families can't afford new cars and rely on the purchases of used vehicles. Hundreds of thousands of cars are being traded in and destroyed, not resold. This takes thousands of used cars off the market, driving prices upward. In turn, this dries up the supply of used parts thus inflating the parts market.
This program is bribing families to trade in their car that is likely paid for and go into debt. Isn't this similar to the programs Congress, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae designed that led to the housing crisis?
This program is extremely wasteful because, instead of keeping existing cars running, it promotes making a huge carbon footprint with a large energy output to produce new vehicles.
Also, the program will let you scrap your 8,000-pound 18 mpg vehicle and give you cash to get a new 8,000-pound vehicle as long as it gets 4 mpg more.
As the politicians, unions, ACORN and the media loudly applaud this program, it is reminiscent of a scene from Star Wars Episode III when Queen Amidala, while listening to the Senate, somberly stated, "So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause."
