THE END OF PRIVATE PROPERTY
Nealz Nuze ^ | Friday, March 12, 2004 | Neal Boortz

Posted on 03/12/2004 5:15:01 AM PST by beaureguard

I ask you today to consider a time in America when there will be no such thing as the private ownership of real estate; where the American dream of home ownership will belong to a past era. Instead of title to a parcel of real property, you'll get a license to occupy that property for a determined period of time. That license will be issued by the government, and subject to renewal on a periodic basis. Renewal will be considered based on several factors, including how you are using that land, and whether or not the license fees you pay for that usage is adequate.

Some areas of this country are closer to this reality than others. Take Connecticut, for instance. The Connecticut Supreme Court recently ruled that private ownership of land was subject to the needs of local jurisdictions for more tax revenue or a wider jobs base. If your friendly local politicians in Connecticut thinks that someone else could redevelop your property in such a way that it would support higher property taxes, or provide more jobs for the community, then the politicians can simply step in, seize the property, pay the current "owner" some stipend, and hand the property over to a new owner. That includes private residences.

As this attack on private property evolves in America you'll hear politicians start to talk about "public ownership of all real estate." That's the argument they use today for denying to broadcasters their private property rights in and to broadcast frequencies. Scarcity in the broadcast spectrum is used as an excuse. Scarcity? Technology is expanding available broadcast frequencies at a rapid rate. Not so for real estate. They really aren't making any more of that stuff. If you want to use scarcity as an excuse for government control, what better place than real estate?

Attacks on the private ownership of real estate are spreading. Enjoy your home while you can. Somewhere out there is a sharp developer who has his eye on your property .. and a case to make before your local politicians that he can do a better job of owning your property than you can.

"...being part of the lake association has been a pretty good deal for us. There are only about 15 homes right on the shore of the lake today ... a developer bought most of the land on the far side of the lake with the intent of building a subdivision ... the lake association ... managed to prevent the developer from building right down to the shore of the lake ..."

Sounds to me like you got yours but are perfectly happy to disallow others to get theirs.

It is my guess, that most citizens do not own their property at this moment.

The bank in which they make their monthly loan payment to is the owner of their property.

That is especially true for you loan payors who also have to pay their property taxes on a monthly basis into an escrow account.

Your lender, in so many words, is telling you that you are not the owner of this property and not ultimately responsible for payment of the property taxes.

I, the lender, do not trust you, the lendee, for whatever reason, to pay the property taxes in full and on time, thus possibly causing me, the lender, future problems with the local government.

So I, the lender, will collect the property taxes that I, the lender am responsible for, in advance from you, the lendee, on a monthly basis from you, the lendee, with your loan payment.

Now since the bank or mortgage company is more than likely a nationwide business, doing business across state lines, eventually one of the communist/socialist legislators is going to exert the "commerce clause" as the federal jurisdiction to "regulate" your life in your house, such as smoking of cigarettes.

"As this attack on private property evolves in America you'll hear politicians start to talk about "public ownership of all real estate."

Kofi Annan's successor just might be the largest real estate broker ever . .

Property Rights

The United Nations Wants to Take Your Land!
"Private land ownership ... contributes to social injustice.... Public control of land use is therefore indispensable."

- United Nations "Habitat I" Conference Report, 1976

The United Nations Wants to TAX you!

Taxation

"Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali ... urged the [UN] to consider imposing its own taxes to become less dependent on the United States...."

-Washington Times, January 16, 1996

Are you concerned that...
...numerous taxation schemes to finance the UN are being considered?

Economist James Tobin proposed in 1972 that the UN be the recipient of a tax of 0.05% on foreign exchange transactions. In 1993, the Ford Foundation produced Financing an Effective United Nations, a report containing recommendations that the UN tax airline traffic, shipping, and arms sales. In 1995, the UN-funded Commission on Global Governance suggested that the UN collect levies from those who use "flight lanes, sea lanes for ships, ocean fishing areas, and the electromagnetic spectrum." Ultimately, of course, the burden of all taxation falls on consumers.

Are you concerned that...
...a State Department study specifically proposed giving the UN taxing power and, ultimately, control of the world?

In 1962, the State Department financed a study entitled "A World Effectively Controlled by the United Nations." The report outlined what would be needed for such a total world government: "a mandatory universal membership," an ability to use "physical force," and "compulsory jurisdiction" of its courts. One of the UN's "principle features," stated the report, would be "enforceable taxing powers." (Emphasis added.)

Are you concerned that...
...no matter how much our nation gives, the UN will never be satisfied?

In addition to hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars in foreign aid, our nation has provided the UN with tens of billions more for its programs since 1945. Currently, U.S. contributions make up 25% of the UN's annual budget. But, in his May 2001 speech at Notre Dame University, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan complained with a typical anit-American attitude, "It is shameful that the United States ... should be one of the least generous in terms of helping the world's poor."

Are you concerned that...
...taxing authority would fuel an unaccountable UN Superstate?

Former UN Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali said of a UN tax: "We would no be under the daily financial will of member states who are unwilling to pay up." UN Founder Harlan Cleveland made the same point in Futures: Rather than relying on "the worn-out policy of year-to-year decisions by individual governments" (about how much to give the UN), "what's needed is a flow of funds for development which are generated automatically under international control." And there would be no Congress to limit the UN's appetite for your tax dollars!

"...this is just a cry baby response to the FCC's new rules. People ARE tired of listening to foulmouth shockjocks and inyourface Sex on TV..."
- - -
Does your radio not have an 'off' knob?
Or is your channel selector stuck?
I dispise folks like Stern etc.
So I CHOOSE to not listen to their shows.
I really don't want the FCC or Boortz or you deciding for me.

Ten or even five years ago the FCC taking action to silence indecency on our air waves wouldn't even be given a second thought.

Now, the likes of Stern being shut down for violating the FCC decency laws are even coming under great scrutiny since 9/11.

Panic.

IMO - such an order would last for less than 2 weeks.

If (God forbid) you do ever lose your's, so will the rest of us.

We have to keep our eyes open, ears to the ground, and ready for the worst, I'm afraid.

Yeah, just like in NYC!

Actually I believe you, the 2nd revolution would start and the intent of the RTKBA would be shown accurately.

you purposely ignored this part..."Police your own, Neal, and the FCC wouldn't have to do it."

"I really don't want the FCC or Boortz or you deciding for me." or how about this way...

"I really don't want the FBI or police or you deciding for me." or how about this way...

"I really don't want my Dad or Mommy or you deciding for me.

Sometimes in life, in order to keep those who would take advantage of others in check you have things called RULES

WE must and we will. The UN has to go. The Nanny state has to go. Good people must do good things in spite of the odds.

Your NYC example is well taken, but IMO there is a big difference between NYC and Duluth Alabama, or any similar Small/medium size town or rural area, especially in fly-over country.
