Just damned....

I heard about that: John 3:18.

I've also heard that there is a solution: John 3:16.

[Elsie]

...we are losing our farming heritage.

Just which PART of it do you miss?

[Elsie]

Yes!

Micah 6:8 says it all quite nicely.

That where that whole tsplost idea came from. The looters behind the idea haven’t given up. They were defeated in the polls, but they haven’t given up. They’re still licking their lips at the thought of a 20% increase in sales tax to squander with their buddies.

... the local government (in partnership with a ‘friendly’ mortgage provider) to seize homes, force investors to take a loss on the mortgages, re-issue a new ‘lower’ mortgage, ...

Well; we could just wait for hyper-inflation when we can pay off those pesky bills with LOTS of (looks good on paper) money!

[Elsie]

Why should I stop?

I’m only carrying some Skitters!

Thomas Jefferson, predicted what we see happening here in America.

I just sent this out to my e-mail list yesterday!

Quotes from Thomas Jefferson:

 

"When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe."

 

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."

 

"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world."

 

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them."

 

"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government."

 

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."

 

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

 

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

 

"To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical."

 

And,  in 1802, stated:

 

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.  If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

 

I wish we could get this out to everyone!
I'm doing my part. Please do yours.

They’ll either give up (and California will become Detroit) or they’ll fight back. Wonder which...

Well; since Denver and Albuquerque and Las Vegas and MOAB have already become California...

[Elsie]

And what makes you think you will be welcomed there?

They took me in without a whimper!

[Elsie]

... where you fill in a questionnaire...

No problem; as I'll be REALLY accurate in reporting.

[Elsie]

Just which PART of it do you miss?

Probably sweethearts like ME!

[Roccus]

They took me in without a whimper!

Past tense. Time changes all things.

Perhaps I should have said, "And what makes you think you will be welcomed HERE?"

If/when push comes to shove and there are mass exoduses from urban and suburban areas, those who are rural will see them as existential threats. Most humans do not welcome existential threats.

The policy and regulation is in fact ethnic pollution of the suburbs. The policy represents leakage or perhaps seepage of the urban sewage.

It will not work

Everybody knows the stink of crap

I know one of the key players in the anti-tsplost effort. It’s amazing what they did with a web site and social media and some pdfs. Shining the light of day is a wonderful thing.

Maybe because I hate urban sprawl and the fact that it threatens my family’s farm and many of my neighbors but I see the benefit of “stack and pack” policy.

Every year I see more and more good, productive farmland comsumed by urban sprawl as we are losing our farming heritage.

But I also hate government telling people what to do with their lives.

We need to put our "thinking caps" on.

Our error in logic/planning was and still is... "giving up" the cities. Mathematically, if we "give up" cities and allow them to become rotten with corruption and immorality, due to the population density possibilities of cities versus suburban areas, and the fact that there's a fixed amount of land, as time goes on the "good folks" in the non-city areas will become a smaller and smaller minority, until they are irrelevant. This is almost true at this point.

Like any military campaign, the side that cedes territory loses, unless they are ceding territory as part of a plan to win the campaign, and the plan works.

"Conservatives" long ago ceded the cities as the territory of "liberals".

The fact continues to stare us in the face that we not only need to keep the suburbs as a bastion against immorality and corruption (which we've hardly done at all), but we actually must make inroads into the cities in this regard.

The army holed up in the castle has already lost.

Our biggest problem is that very few people understand "new world order", i.e., how the financial oligarchy operates, chiefly because it's pilloried as nonsense by most.

All we're seeing in the land planning category is the general strategy of constantly working towards consolidation. Once private sector consolidation makes enough "progress" (which happened in the 1800's in America), and enough minions are in place in government leadership circles, then the (age-old) tactic is to lock in control of sectors of the economy using legislation and regulation. Small competitors are effectively eliminated at that stage, not one at a time, but en masse, because everyone is subject to the law of the land.

The real danger regarding farmland is to the small family farm. This is not a danger for sentimental reasons, or heritage reasons. It's a danger because the fundamental ability of masses of free people to resist the financial oligarchy's commands is eliminated once the masses lose control of their own food supply. This process is well along it's way, though still theoretically reversible at this point.

Unfortunately, however, at this point the free people still have not formed the necessary relationships and become aware of the necessary strategies and tactics to even begin the battle to save themselves. They are still shadow boxing, tilting at windmills, ignorant of not only their enemies' strategies and tactics, but even who their enemy is. Their entire education has taught them a fantasy history, which makes them unable to grasp the conspiracy going on behind the veil of socially-acceptable interpretations of current events.

It's all well and good to "oppose Agenda 21", but not also opposing the enemy who created it means that the enemy will continue with their strategies until the free people capitulate and are assimilated into the fold or are so powerless that they can be ignored.

I remind my libinlaw of that scene in DZ, as she lives alone in a huge house.

She says “good thing that’s not what democrats want to do”.

Essentially, Plan Bay Area attempts to block the development of any new suburbs

LAME!
