A German appeals court has ordered legal custody of Melissa Busekros, the teenager who was taken from her home by a police squad and detained in a psychiatric hospital for being homeschooled, be returned to her family because she no longer is in danger...

The lower court's ruling had ordered police officers to take Melissa – then 15 – from her home, if necessary by force, and place her in a mental institution for a variety of evaluations. She was kept in custody from early February until April, when she turned 16 and under German law was subject to different laws.

At that point she simply walked away from the foster home where she had been required to stay and returned home, but she and her family had been living under the possibility that police would intervene again.

German Appeals Court Returns Custody of Homeschooled Girl to Parents

Your prayers and support have helped make possible a rare victory for a homeschooling family in Germany. Yesterday, a German appeals court in Bavaria set aside a lower court ruling that had authorized the Youth Welfare Office in Erlangen Germany to retain custody of 16-year-old homeschooler Melissa Busekros.

In its opinion the Appeals Court stated that although the lower court ruling was justified based on the evidence at the time, later evidence shows that there is no danger to Melissa’s well-being at home.

In an email to Home School Legal Defense Association the Busekros had this to say:

“The decision by the family court was partially repealed. The important points (custody) were revoked! What remains are the court-appointed lawyer and the evaluation. The urgent appeal has thereby been completed, but now the main case continues in the family court. However, urgent decisions without a hearing may no longer be made. Thank you for all the help we received through phone-calls, emails, letters, parcels, newspaper articles, radio, TV and prayers!!”

Your support of HSLDA and our Home School Foundation’s Germany Fund has allowed us to help fund Melissa's attorney who appealed the lower courts decision achieving this important victory.

HSLDA acknowledges the efforts of other organizations including the International Human Rights Group, and two German Homeschooling Organizations, Schuzh and Netzwerk Bildungsfreiheit. The work of these groups, along with HSLDA and HSLDA members who made phone calls, sent letters and emails, helped maintain constant pressure on this issue and doubtless helped to create the groundwork for this decision.

In spite of this positive development for the Busekros family, the plight of German homeschoolers continues with constant harassment, fines and worse by German authorities. HSLDA’s new strategy to help create change in Germany will involve funding academic studies, political lobbying, and legal defense for families in need, like the Busekros family. This strategy supports the work being done by German homeschoolers to change the laws so that Homeschooling in Germany becomes free and legal.

Thank you for all you do on behalf of Homeschooling freedom here in the United States and in Germany.

We had better take note of this state of affairs in Germany, because it is not a stretch at all to see that happening here in America. In fact it would be instructive to look into the state of affairs in that country, just to see how they arrived at the level of government/ judicial intervention which can forcibly take a home-schooled child away from her parents, because she showed "too great a devotion to her family". And the fight in good old Deutschland isn't over by a long shot. They backed off because of negative pressure from human rights groups such as the Home School Legal Defense Association, but the homeschoolers are very much still under the gun, both figuratively and literally.

And here in the USA, it is the game-plan to subvert the money vouchers, and use their influence to set the federal, permissible guidelines in which private schools are held to the same dumbing-down curricula being fostered on public schools. Three days ago, Secretary of Education, Margaret Spellings, made this pronouncement in a key-note address to the NAACP:

"I believe it [No Child Left Behind] is not just an education law, it's a civil rights law, designed to make America's promise a reality for all its citizens".

Better pay attention when they start talking about "civil rights" for children. That's Newspeak for putting parental rights on the side, which you may have noticed, they are already doing.


Homeschoolers, you are next on their agenda. Get ready for a fight.

And you had better believe Shrillary (it takes a village) Clinton has designs on our children. The modus operandi these days for the One World Government gang, of which she is a paid-up member, is to follow the Communist's "two steps forward, one step back" method, always with the goal of creating the most powerful federal public education system possible. They do this by linking the money for education to their NWO global agenda. "Guidelines" set by the Trilateral Commission founded by Bilderberger David Rockefeller, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), and the NEA, will continue to dominate unless and until enough sovereign Americans say, enough - STOP.

Hillary proposes preschool for all in federal-state effort

By Amy Fagan
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
May 22, 2007

Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Clinton yesterday proposed that the federal government provide states with up to $10 billion to ensure all 4-year-olds have pre-kindergarten education.

"Every child not just children whose parents can afford it should have the same chance to succeed," said Mrs. Clinton, New York Democrat. "As president, I will establish universal pre-kindergarten education through a federal-state partnership."

In the first major education initiative of her campaign, Mrs. Clinton proposed a voluntary program yesterday that would start with a $5 billion federal commitment for interested states to create universal pre-K programs or bolster their existing ones, including Head Start. States would match the investment dollar for dollar, and the federal contribution would increase to $10 billion over five years, as state investment did.

Mrs. Clinton said she'd pay for the hefty price tag by getting rid of tax loopholes and some Bush administration programs, according to the Associated Press. She said ending the Iraq war would free up some money as well, the AP reported.

Critics said her pre-K plan would be major expansion of the federal role in education, when preschool programs haven't truly been proven effective.

"Senator Clinton is really proposing to pressure states into implementing universal preschool. That's really a remarkable new role for federal government," said Dan Lips of the Heritage Foundation. Thirty-eight states had preschool programs in 2006, according to the National Institute for Early Education Research. The Clinton camp stressed their program would be voluntary, but Mr. Lips said the draw of money would lure states into what would become a web of new federal rules.

And no, it doesn't stop. There is a madness engulfing the world, and it is beginning to look doubtful that a sane political solution will prevail. But that is all the more reason to fight the forces of darkness as if our very existence depends on it - because in fact, it does.

Americans, Stand Up and FIGHT

And now, finally, a reassuring statement from President Bush on illegal immigration. A new Gov Op, "Enduring Yet More Illegals"...is part of a new open admission policy. Take a look.

Which Way America?

By Dennis Behreandt
Pub: April 16, 2007

As a young mother, every morning at 4:30 a.m. Kimberly Moore would drop off her young child at her mother-in-law’s home before reporting to work at McDonald’s. After a full day at the fast-food chain, according to the Tallahassee Democrat, she got her books together and went to class, first at Tallahassee Community College and then at Florida State University. A single mother, she eventually earned her MBA. Keeping her nose to the grindstone, she rose through the ranks of the business world in Florida, eventually earning the title of Chief Executive Officer of Workforce Plus, a large employment firm. Starting with little more than her own initiative and drive to succeed, she reached the pinnacle of the business world, making hers an inspiring story of self-made success, a story of a woman living the American dream.

As inspiring as Kimberly Moore’s story is, the really amazing thing about it is that it is only a small part of the incredible tapestry of success that is the American dream. Generations of Americans have believed that in America they can work hard to make a better life for themselves than their parents had before them. And every day Americans head out the door to jobs where, through dedication and perseverance, they work harder, longer, and more productively than the citizens of any other nation.

Why do they do it? Why do Americans like Kimberly Moore work long hours for low pay only to leave work and put in countless additional hours pursuing education? Why do small investors struggle to find a few dollars here and there in order to invest in some possibly risky venture? The short answer — for the money — misses the essential point: Americans do these things, they work harder and longer, because the wealth they earn serves a greater purpose. To the parent who comes home from a hard day at the factory or office, the son playing basketball in the driveway or the daughter riding her new bicycle on the sidewalk provides reason for any amount of labor, any amount of sacrifice. Americans work for many reasons, but prominent among them is the unwavering desire to provide a good life, and maybe a better life than they themselves had known, to their children. It happens frequently and spectacularly in America, because Americans are uniquely free.

The Benefits of Liberty

The freedom that Americans enjoy, and that is so essential to the pursuit of a better life, comes from recognition that every person has certain God-given rights that may not be infringed. To most Americans, living from birth in a free land as their parents did before them, that idea seems self-evident. But that masks the truly revolutionary novelty of the notion of individual liberty.

The idea that all people are free and in possession of rights that may never be violated sprung up in the minds of philosophers centuries ago, but it was nowhere put into practice until America’s Founding Fathers wrested the colonies from the grasp of the British crown. That heroic effort began when the founding generation of Americans, speaking with a unified and defiant voice through the words of Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence, told the world: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, 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.”
....................................................................

But for the Globalists, this is a quaint and troublesome thing, liberty. There is a vast conspiracy going on, alright. It is neither particularly right-wing or left-wing, and it has been going on right under our noses. But, as this globalist agenda has been proceeding under a veil of secrecy, it was not obvious. Not until recently, that is. Lou Dobbs at CNN and Ron Paul and The John Birch Society (say what you will about the JBS -back in the 60's, it was considered a joke among us college know-it-alls) have all been peeling back the layers of secrecy on the SPP and NAU. It is now up to the rest of us Americans to let our voices be heard on the matter. If you are one of ones who read this information, and remain silent, you are part of the problem. Well, what can you do? Contact your Congressman, look into it more, blog about it, but for God's sake, do something. Speak out. Because if everybody is just an innocent by-stander, this thing will roll over us.


A Study in North American Union

by Kelly Taylor
The New American

Just when you thought you had a grip on the NAU (North American Union) and its scope, more disturbing news arrives indicating that this horrendous project isn’t half-baked, but ready to be forked.

The NAU first began gaining the attention of average American citizens in 2005, with the signing of the treacherous Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) and the release of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) report Building a North American Community (BNAC). The recentness of these eye-opening actions led many to believe that the NAU would be a long time in coming, but information continues to surface regarding the plethora of clever devices employed to sell the NAU to Americans and speed its arrival.

For those readers who are still completely in the dark about the NAU, it is, simply put, the transformation of NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement) into a full-blown economic and political merger of Canada, the United States, and Mexico. The advocates of the NAU are using an accelerated model of the deceptive process used to merge the countries of Europe into the European Union.

What better way to speed the NAU’s coming than to avoid having to do a “sell” job altogether and simply train a new generation of Americans as ready believers? That’s exactly what the NAU proponents are up to. In 1998, seven years before the SPP or BNAC appeared, four “North American” business schools (in Halifax, Montreal, Monterrey, and New York City) teamed up to create the PanAmerican Partnership, a business-training program sponsoring training and research emphasizing North American economic integration, and dedicated to building “the next generation of North American managers.” The PanAm Partnership is the first NAFTA-focused business-training program — nearly 350 MBA students from the four partner schools have participated in the MBA plan. Each partner school has a PanAm track in its MBA program for students wishing to build careers in the new “North American” business environment.

Arizona State University (ASU) has taken this new paradigm a step further. Its North American Center for Transborder Studies (NACTS) has introduced a benchmark website, first designed in 2000, allowing “North Americanists” a resource for the growing body of research about economic integration in the NAFTA Triad. It was needed because advancement of economic integration was increasing “despite the lack of press and public attention,” and a web presence would allow those in Triad countries to “link up.” ASU’s website claims the regional integration process deepens even without the kind of public attention enjoyed in Europe. (We think the lack of public and press attention was deliberate, allowing integration to occur under the radar of Americans who would object to the “sovereignty sellout” their leaders are perpetrating.)

It’s interesting, in the least, to learn that ASU and NACTS have partnered with the North American Supercorridor Coalition (NASCO), the Kansas City Affairs and Trade Office (site of the NAFTA Supercorridor inland port), and the Americas Society-Council of the Americas. Surprise. NASCO’s website states it is developing a corridor-wide educational consortium and inviting universities to join its efforts to improve trade and transportation along the corridor. This consortium will bring together those institutions playing a role in training the next generation to solve international transportation problems and maximize opportunities for tri-national information sharing. Would it surprise anyone to learn that the Americas Society-Council of the Americas is dedicated to market integration in the Americas, and was founded by David Rockefeller? Rockefeller wrote in his 2002 autobiography, Memoirs, that he is proud to be an internationalist working against the best interests of the United States, and conspiring to build a one world government — with himself, no doubt, at the helm.

To be precise, he stated (on page 405, Chapter 27, entitled, “Proud Internationalist”):

For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as “internationalists” and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure — one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.

Mr. Rockefeller was for 15 years (1970-85) the chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, the principal organization pushing the NAU. The earlier mentioned document Building a North American Community was written by CFR task-force director Robert Pastor and is the uncontested blueprint for merging the United States, Canada, and Mexico into one political entity called North America. This recommendation appears on page 29: “to develop a network of centers for North American studies.... We recommend that the three governments open a competition and provide grants to universities in each of the three countries to promote courses, education and research on North America.”

Predictably, Pastor is the director of the Center for North American Studies at American University, which is dedicated to the idea of moving forward with the trilateral agenda of regional integration. It seems that promotion is already in place and the BNAC document is simply justifying what has already been done.

If today’s students on the PanAm track at a growing number of universities are indoctrinated into the glories of “North Americanism,” the idea of an independent and sovereign America will be as distant an idea to them as even the word “America” will become. Orwell’s character, Winston Smith, lamented that not even knowing the word “freedom” eliminated even the concept of it from the minds of his fellow citizens. That most certainly will be the fate of our children and theirs if this NAU train is not stopped.

Readers of THE NEW AMERICAN need to recognize that the attention given by the magazine to the NAU is nothing short of a May Day call for opposition to the biggest threat ever, or, as expressed in popular vernacular, we’re toast.

How Bio Fuels Could Starve the Poor

When I write, I take my research method from the lowly ant: when some species of ants leave the colony to look for food, they look for it by leaving the nest and, going in ever-widening circles, they search until they pick up the scent or trail of food. Then straightaway, they report back to the colony, and lead the other ants to the food. I start by looking at an idea, an event of interest, and poke around until a central idea begins to take shape in my mind. Then I widen my circles, until I find what will satisfy the central idea, and I report back to you. But I continue to research the idea, as I know there is much more to be discovered (dis-covered).

For example, about three weeks ago, when I reflected on where the ethanol boom was going, I researched it, wrote about it, a short piece but didn't look all that deeply into it. So I decided to go back again and look at the bio-fuel crisis with fresh eyes, knowing in my heart it will be the world's poor that get the shitty end of the stick. They always do. But this time it's not just the poor who are getting shafted, it's you and me as well. And my search led me to the Council on Foreign Relations. Once again.

And even though I know the CFR is an insideous organization, I do not discount their access to scholarship. If you go through this article, sub-titled, " The Ethanol Bubble" by Runge and Senauer you will find that they see, they know what is happening in the world of Bio-fuels and the current alternative of ethanol. Their projections are grim, indeed. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that we are heading for wholesale misery on a global scale. But their solutions to the problem of ever-growing ranks of the poor and starving in the world consist of applying fixes here and there. Congress should do this, Congress should do that, a band-aid here, drop this subsidy there, add this here...blah, blah, blah.

That such brilliant men can analyze the situation on the ground concerning the world's poor, and yet - miss the most important piece of the puzzle is odd. The key seems to be: who controls the money? Are the analysts looking through the wrong end of the telescope? Perhaps by design? This whole global thing is being generated by the vision of a few - a vision of a world-based Socialism, some even say Communism.

We live under the golden rule, so I know to "follow the money", knowing that no matter how torturous the trail, it will always lead back to the problem. Always, always. And in following the money, you find other rocks to look under. Look under the rocks. There one finds greed, corruption, the will of the few wealthy imposed on Congress, and the rest of us. Truth is not the problem - it always shines irrespective of the conditions. The lies are the problem, and the lies are concealing the truth. But lies hide under rocks, or behind half-truths.

They love to keep us looking in the wrong direction, as is obvious in the so-called, "War On Terror", as the pieces are being put in place for a more totalitarian government. The War On Terror is a sham. But it sets the stage for a more aggressive surveillance stance, and they have -so far- vertically integrated the Fed with the state and local law enforcement. The Patriot Act, enhanced by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) further erode our individual privacy - all under the meme of "Global War on Terror". Congressional oversight? Not.

Incrementally, our right to "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness", is being eroded, making us weak, unable to defend ourselves and our families. Something's gotta give. There are those who believe we are being set up, waiting for the other shoe to drop, as in another attack in the form of bombs or some kind of wholesale disaster- all to provide our government with the rationale to initiate the changes it so badly wants: NAU, AMERO, perhaps martial law. All in the name of making America strong against its enemies. A New World Order. They have made it crystal clear - they believe it is what we need to step forward into the 21st Century. It is a Fascist's dream: the melding of Corporatism with the State.

Why are our universities under leftist control? Look. for. the. money. What you find is they serve at the pleasure of grants and donations. Pry under that rock, and what you find is Gramsci and Freire cultural humanist ideology, backed by Rockefeller, Ford, Carnegie money. The climate of intolerance found on the campuses throughout the United States, masquerading as Politically Correct speech, is the direct result of pressure on the College Administration to kowtow to their whims. Oh, sure the so-called "Humanities" are rife with leftist professors who spread their agenda, rather than inviting honest discourse. But they are there, in place, because the administration has granted them permission to do so. The power of money. The Golden Rule - He who has the gold makes the rules.

If you want a place to stand as you investigate that relationship, take Carroll Quigley with you. Even though he was an insider, his research is a rock you can stand on. But he's dead now, so take the David Horowitz tour. He's a warrior, alive and well.

[Update: I have done some checking up on Carroll Quigley and find that he was a member in good standing of the CFR. So, be advised. As an insider he knew and wrote about a great deal of the shenanigans being played out then, as now on a global scale, and he concurred with the elitists vision of a New World Order, but was unhappy with the secrecy with which it was being carried out. He died in 1977.]

From NameBase NewsLine, No. 15,
October-December 1996

In following the money, I came upon this article entitled, Philanthropists at War by Daniel Brandt. It is a short, concise story of the connection of "old money" to our educational institutions. The name, CIA comes up fairly frequently, as does the CFR and many others tied to government. Here's a sample paragraph:

The interlock problem is conspicuous for another reason, one which has never been addressed by Congress. It seems that certain huge Yankee foundations, namely Rockefeller, Ford, and Carnegie, have been conscious instruments of covert U.S. foreign policy, with directors and officers who can only be described as agents of U.S. intelligence. According to Quigley, the roots for this can be traced to the establishment of an American branch of the British Royal Institute in 1921, which itself had grown out of the Rhodes Trust. The American branch, called the Council on Foreign Relations, was a largely a front for J. P. Morgan and Company.[10]

note* the interlock problem referred to is where the CFR, the various foundations, and the government all hold hands, and walk the line. Go look under that rock.

At the end of the article by Brandt, I noticed a sidebar entitled, "Clinton's CIA Connection".
First paragraph:

"An awareness of obscure connections can go some distance toward making our history comprehensible. Almost all accounts of recent U.S. social and cultural history have been written by micro scholars on someone's payroll, rather than by macro historians who accept that many facts are hidden. The 1960s still mean something to those of us who contributed, but to judge from the popular history of the period, it consisted of little more than lone nuts, hippies, drugs, and rock music. A more specific example of historical cover-up is the major media's willingness to accept the current White House at face value."

Hmm...more rocks to look under. Go check it out.

Take our money, the US dollar, for example. Where does it come from? The Federal Reserve Bank. Who controls the Federal Reserve Bank? Why, the Federal Reserve Bank. Who owns the Federal Reserve Bank? What is our government's relationship to the Federal Reserve Bank? And so on, but that's for another time. Or better yet, you go look under that rock, tell us what you find. Or take the Internal Revenue Service. It's built on a lie. There is no law in our Constitution that grants Congress the power to tax individual income. Yet most Americans think there is a law authorizing the IRS to collect taxes.

Ok, I am not a trained economist. Many years ago, I had a couple of courses on Paul Samuelson's view of economics in college (early 60's). I studied for a couple of years at the School of Economic Science (London), taking night courses in NYC, where they had a branch known as the Practical Philosophy Foundation. The economics courses there were roughly equivalent to what the Henry George School was teaching at the time: tax the margin and the whole business goes a-kilter. But that still doesn't address the question - who makes our money, and on what is the foundation built? I believe it is key to 99% of the problems we are facing today.

Probably the greatest course I ever took was a logic course under Professor Sidney Hook at New York University (1961). He taught me to apply the rules of logic when reading a newspaper. What a gift that was! What I am now is an amateur sleuth who doesn't like what is happening in the world. So I go, ant-like, out into the world armed with inadequate tools, but there you are. A most useful book on English grammar, The Elements of Style by William Strunk, Jr. and E.B. White, now in its 4th Ed. My copy was published in 1979, 3rd ed. I have read, and re-read it a couple of times. Great book if you want to learn to write more effectively.

The real question is: How do we stop the freight train?

Update ** Who Owns The Federal Reserve Bank?

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." -- Thomas Jefferson

The word, Federal, is to throw everybody off. The only connection of the FRB to the US government is one of complicity. Full stop. It is a private bank, owned by very old, very wealthy families. There is an unbroken linear connection between the Rothschilds and the Bank of England, and the London banking houses which ultimately control the Federal Reserve Banks through their stockholdings of bank stock and their subsidiary firms in New York.

The seminal players are:

The Rothschild Family - London (Bank of England)
The Rothschild Family - Berlin
The Lazard Brothers - Paris Israel Seiff - Italy
Kuhn-Loeb Company - Germany
The Warburgs - Amsterdam
The Warburgs - Hamburg
Lehman Brothers - New York
Goldman & Sachs - New York
The Rockefeller Family - New York
The George Baker Family - New York
J. Henry Schroder Banking Corp

They seem to be the ones at the top, and also some of the key players in the CFR. Be forewarned: enter this labyrinth at your own risk. Better take Ariadne's thread...

"The very rich are different from you and me." - F Scott Fitzgerald.

Special Economic Zones

Want to see what's going to happen here in America, when the men playing God get all their pieces on the board? C.S. Lewis had a name for men like CFR foreign-policy-set members... he called them "men without chests". It is with such men we will have to fight.

Actually, with the land being taken for the Trans-Corridor Highway, it's already begun. And some Texans don't intend to stand idly by and watch their land being taken by Imminent Domain.

India’s Growing Pains

Indian activists protest government land seizures

April 4, 2007
Prepared by:
Lee Hudson Teslik

India’s torrid economic expansion over the past five years delighted investors internationally, but the inevitable shakeouts of rapid growth are starting to rub some nerves raw at home. Thousands of Indian farmers battled police (Telegraph) in the country’s West Bengal state in March, protesting government plans to confiscate their land and turn it into a special economic zone (SEZ). After fourteen deaths and chastisement from groups like Amnesty International, the state abandoned its plans for the SEZ. But after reviewing the SEZ policy, India’s Prime Minister announced in late March that new zones will continue to go up across India (Jurnalo).

Special economic zones typically offer tax breaks to encourage multinational corporations to set up shop in a developing country. The companies in turn help the host country by bringing jobs, tax revenues, and direct investment. China has nurtured SEZs with great success since 1980 (People’s Daily), most notably at a massive 126-square-mile economic zone in Shenzhen. Launching SEZs often requires large swaths of land to be set aside—or forcibly confiscated, with reimbursement rates dictated by the government. Although India’s SEZs have used much smaller pieces of land than China’s, India’s population density makes clearing space for businesses a politically incendiary proposition, as is detailed in this paper by the Society for the Study of Peace and Conflict (SSPC), an Indian think tank.

Compared to China, India joined the SEZ game quite recently. The country first implemented SEZs in 2000, but the zones only exploded in popularity after the 2005 SEZ Act (PDF) expanded the program of benefits they offered. Applications for new SEZs spiked, and as of January 2007, the Indian government had approved plans for 237 projects (Economic Times).

At the time of the 2005 bill, India’s commerce minister predicted new development spurred by the act would create five hundred thousand Indian jobs (Frontline) by the end of 2007. Business leaders gave even rosier projections. The chief executive officer of Reliance Industries, an Indian manufacturing conglomerate spearheading two major SEZ projects, said in an interview with India's Rediff news agency that each of Reliance’s twenty-five-thousand-acre projects could create up to five million Indian jobs.

But controversy swirled around the zones from the start. Some analysts doubted the noble-sounding goal of job creation, wondering whether SEZ projects might be little more than a “land grab” (World Bank PSD Blog). Others questioned the business rationale for the projects. Some economists, for instance, said that rather than promoting new business, the zones might simply be granting tax breaks to companies already eager to build in India (Economist).

The most aggressive opposition by far, however, has come from the farmers and other Indians whose land stands to be taken. The Reliance project alone aims to swallow up forty-five villages, according to the SSPC paper cited above. With more than two hundred SEZ projects approved, and over three hundred more applications pending (IPS), March’s riots were a grim reminder that patience could quickly wear thin on one of India’s most ambitious development initiatives.

Special Economic Zone: The New Conflict Ground in India

More than a decade of opening of India, the Special Economic Zone (SEZ), probably has become the most controversial economic reforms announced in recent time. While some consider it as India’s supersonic engine of growth, others severely criticize it as the latest land grab instrument in the hands of the industrialists. Serious discourses on models of development, displacement and rehabilitation, employment generation, foreign investment, primacy of industry over agriculture are being raised in justification as well as against the whole concept of SEZ. Despite the heated argument as of January 2007, the Union Government has given final approvals to 237 SEZs and in-principle nod to about 165 zones. Besides, 300 more applications are in the process of approval.

.......The threat of massive displacement from agricultural areas has been the main focus of these agitations. Strange but true the opposition to SEZs is taking the shape of a loose alliance of incongruent outfits which include activists like Medha Patkar, former Prime Minister V P Singh, many NGOs and even outfits owing allegiance to Left extremists.

All this is nothing but a gigantic play for power/money. It has nothing whatever to do with the will of the people, or the rights of people. It is in a word, Corporatism on a global scale.

It's not going away.
And it's gonna be nasty.

Time To Circle The Wagons

I want to bring to your attention the nature of two different battle-fronts in which America is currently embroiled: and some thoughts on how they are inter-related.

One is the threatening encroachment of an Islamic Caliphate, of Muslim intolerance for anything non-Muslim, and their stated goal of world-wide Shari’a Law, which involves converting Dar al-Harb to Dar al-Islam - essentially, rolling up the infidel world like a giant cigar, smoking it, then putting down a new carpet, called Islam, in which the world under Shari’a Law would know peace as Muhammad envisioned. Jews die, Infidels suck hind-tit.

The other battle-front concerns the current administration’s implementation of a pan-global plan to dissolve the borders and the sovereignty of the three countries of the United States, Canada and Mexico; that is, creating a North American Union purporting to achieve dominance on the world stage of commerce and trade.

The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America was conceived and hatched by the Council on Foreign Relations, long considered to be a sort of shadow-government of the United States. The CFR dates back to 1921 and several successive presidential administrations have been covertly putting this proposal of a New World Order in place. Robert Pastor is currently the chief proponent and author of several books advocating a North American Union; a coalition of corporate-government agencies, conceptually similar to, and competing with the EU, winner-take-all. Whoever has the most marbles when he dies, wins. I guess.

Implementation is by stealth agenda, which is being advanced in an almost identical manner in which the European countries have seen their national sovereignties dissolve. There is no official Congressional participation. This is an end-run around the will of the American people. The global elitists want to run the world, and they don’t want the great unwashed mucking things up with things like “freedom”, and “liberty”, and “sovereignty”.

My introduction to all this insanity came as I began investigating the illegal immigration situation in America. I had no goal; I just wanted to discover the forces behind a seemingly mad immigration policy. When I discovered the SPP/Superhighway plot and it’s logical extension, the North American Union (NAU), I had part of my answer: the Bush administration hasn’t been enforcing current immigrant/border laws because it intends to dissolve the border post-haste. While investigating the desert around the Tucson/Phoenix area, I learned that it has been the residence of choice for Islamic terrorists since the 1980’s, and that the University of Arizona is pandering them. Each time I learned something new, I kept casting my net wider until the larger academic community came into focus.

There I learned from David Horowitz that the Leftists professors have hi-jacked the academic world, and that the NEA is full of secular humanists who are serving at the pleasure of Gramscian philanthropic foundations, such as Rockerfeller and Ford Foundations. It was in the foundations themselves that I saw the inter-connectedness of Socialist/Fascist policies. The Socialists need the Fascists to gather the money up - something which the Socialists themselves have never been able to do. The academic community is subservient to the vast wealth of the tax-free foundations.

The universities have come to rely on their money cows, and are thus beholden to them. So much for academic freedom and diversity of ideas. And our public school system is equally a disaster-by-design. Dumb ‘em down. Keep the parents, even the teachers out of the equation. I personally know of fine teachers who despair at the injustices the board of education hands down.

The Feds now have a tight grip on the educational processes. The Federal “No Child Left Behind” policy is part and parcel of a plot to keep our children bound by the cords of mediocrity. Keep them focused on meaningless testing, rather than educating our children. Thinkers are simply too dangerous, so they teach our children that they don’t need to think. Instead, they are taught what to think. It’s all part of the relative humanist’s plan to destroy family values. Destroy the family and people are so much easier to control. Phyllis Schlafly has written much about this, and about the collusion of the NEA with judicial branch of government. Activist judges. Activist feminist federal judges.

In a 1993 pamphlet to teachers, the NEA had this to say:

“Allegiance to a nation is the biggest stumbling block to the creation of international government. National boundaries and the concept of sovereignty must be abolished. The quickest way to do this is to condition the young to another and broader alliance. Opinion favorable to international government will be developed in the social studies curriculum in the public schools.”

I learned that our children are being taught never to offend anyone’s feelings (unless they are white), that gay is good, feminists need to be in power because men are the root of evil, Christianity sucks, two Mommies, or two daddies are just as good as a mother and father; that the ACLU is their friend in all things(especially decadent, gay sorts of things), and anyone who disagrees with NEA policies will be given further special sensitivity training, since the diversity training they get at the beginning of the year didn’t take. Parents have no say in the education of their children, nor do the teachers. They are left with no choice in the matter. Home school while you can. Oh, and if you are white, you are wrong by default. End of story. I could do a whole rant on this, but I won’t. There be treachery afoot, Gramscian ideas corrupting the liberal view of the world, and ideological intolerance contempt of a moral point of view. So much out of balance, and tilting to the left.

Investigation into school policies also revealed the true intentions of CAIR, which led me to the process of propagation of radical Islam by the Wahhabi Islamists, and the grand scheme of the Islamic Caliphate; and how the Leftist organizations in academia, politics and the MSM are providing the PC cultural climate in which the white, educated, middle-class are the skunks and anyone with a brownish tint to their skin have been granted a de facto Federal most-favored status, because they are or were somehow victims of discrimination. The Muslims have been quick to cash in on that agenda.

As I began to write about what I was discovering, I learned of The 910 Group, shortly after its inception, on the Gates of Vienna. I got hooked up with them, and have continued my investigation into the nefarious doings of organizations such as CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood, et al of that stripe.

But the problem of illegal immigration continues to plague me, and my investigation into that reveals a much more sinister plot. When I go after a story, I like to get at the root of it, but damn, the more I pulled at the root of illegal immigration, the worse it got. I have spent the past six weeks digging into this whole “Brave New World” thing. And what I am finding is simply staggering to behold. Even if you discount all the conspiracy theories going around, and I do not discount them - not all of them, anyway - the sheer brazenness, the treacherousness of the pan-global plan to integrate the countries of the United States, Canada and Mexico into a New World Order, with no Congressional oversight, or discussion even - well, let’s just say, it has my full attention.

Our government under George W. Bush has been re-organized with the SPP as a national priority of the highest order, involving DHS, the State Department, the Justice Department, as well as other coordinating agencies doing the bidding of the afore-mentioned. This is not conjecture. Go to Judicial Watch, read. I will post more sources as an update to this post. (see update below)

I see two possibilities in America:

One, we step up, defeat and dismantle the global plan to take over the world, starting with hauling anyone who is involved in the SPP agenda before a Special Congressional Investigation, and uncover the true intent of this current administration regarding this whole sorry affair. Then take the steps to decommission this SPP/NAU project, and indict and convict anyone and everyone found guilty of high crimes and treason. This can all be accomplished by the power of the spoken word.

If we somehow manage to do that, we will have finally taken off our PC gloves, and will be in a position as a nation, to deal with the Leftists, and the Islamists. The Republic government will have prevailed, the will of the people restored. I am hopeful we can achieve victory mainly because the Bush administration has characteristically jumped the gun, and has also grossly under-estimated the will of the American people. Once we get the lid off this thing, the stink will be unbearable.

Two, we allow our country and its citizens to be sacrificed on the alter of the Global Elite Order of Wisdom and Beneficence, aka GREED. Then it’s good-night nurse. Democracy will simple vanish into the night. Our children will inherit a nightmare of unimaginable proportions.

You may not agree with my findings nor share my conclusions. But one thing is certain: America needs you. And the world needs America. The real America, not the rotting politicians and corporations - not the Save The World contingent, either. The world needs to see real Americans stand up and guide our country back to sanity. They need to see that good can triumph over evil. Maybe we all need to see it.

We will only see it, if we fight for it.
