After all he had building permits, DEP (Department of Environmental Protection) permits, and letters of approval from the DEP. But Judge Arnow ruled that none of this evidence was admissible because federal authority superseded county and state authority. [Time to review the Tenth Amendment.] None of Ocie's arguments was allowed in court, so he was sent to the federal slammer for 27 months. By the way, Ocie's son was also put under lock and key for 27 months, not because he had done anything wrong; his name happened to be on the deed with Ocie's.A statement made by a speaker at the Preparedness Expo, Tampa, Florida, June 19, 1999.

A key element of the Wildlands Project (returning 50% of each state to wilderness; people not allowed) is the requirement for "corridors" to connect the protected "core areas" and "buffer areas" together. Corridors are "needed" so animals can roam freely throughout the country. But this requirement exposes the deception of the Wildlands Project, because there are no animals in the U.S. that need such corridors, except birds, which make their own. Thus, the whole Wildlands idea, which is right now being implemented across the country, is exposed for what it is: a clever lie to seize private property and advance the cause of socialism.Information for the following was found in Free American Newsmagazine, June 1999, page 49.

Taiwanese emigrant Taung Ming-Lin allegedly ran over several endangered Tipton kangaroo rats while plowing his fields in Kern County, California. When officials heard about the incident 20 or so armed federal and state Fish and Wildlife agents descended on Lin's farm and seized the "murder weapon," the poor farmer's tractor. Lin was charged with three misdemeanor counts of violating the Endangered Species Act. Penalties could include loss of close to half of his ranch and a fine of $600,000. John Pozsgai of Morristown, Pennsylvania bought an old dump adjacent to a small stream bed. He carted away truckloads of garbage, countless used tires and car parts, and replaced them with clean dirt. What was his reward for cleaning up the neighborhood? In 1991 he was charged and convicted of filling a wetland without a permit and sentenced to 33 months in prison.Information for the following was found in Human Events, April 23, 1999, page 28.

The American Library Association has a link on its website to a site which features "Alice," who offers sexually explicit information about anal and oral sex, masturbation, and "S/M roleplaying." Alice tells teens, "Several things might make sex with animals, also known as bestiality, appealing: it can be forbidden, secretive, and/or exciting. An animal doesn't kiss and tell, nor does the animal complain about performance or desire orgasm - you are in control of the when, where, and how. . . . Alice has confirmed with several veterinarians that STDs, including HIV, cannot be transmitted from animals to humans, and vice versa." Offering advice to a Christian boy (under the heading, "Conservative considers coitus"), Alice advises he might want to have sex because "sometimes you can't know what's best for you until you sample your options." For years libraries have been outspoken in their opposition to controls on the access children have to sexaully-explicit and pornographic materials. Now, not only do they stock it, they advocate it.Information for the following was found in the AIM Report, Reed Irvine, Editor, March-B 1999.

Clinton's $4 billion escapade in Haiti illustrates a wag-the-dog military strategy we're now seeing repeated in Kosovo. President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was not the beloved Roman Catholic priest Clinton said he was. Our Commander in Chief sent America's sons and daughters in harm's way to restore Aristide to power, knowing all along Aristide had ordered the murder of a Baptist minister, had stolen $4.5 million from an organization to help children, had sanctioned "necklacing" (placing a tire filled with lighted gasoline around a victim's neck), and had been diagnosed manic-depressive. Aristide now directs cocaine traffic from Haiti to the U.S. (traffic which has increased 18 times between 1996 and 1998). The Haiti military campaign was an abysmal failure. By comparison, the Kosovo incursion, so far, has succeeded 100% in its main purpose: to keep impeachment, rape charges, treason charges, and Monica Lewinsky off the front pages of the nation's newspapers and out of most American minds. The London Times reports that officials in Europe believe the Kosovo Liberation Army is "A Marxist-led force funded by dubious sources, including drug money." There is evidence the "dubious sources" include Iran and terrorist Osama bin Laden. Clinton sacrifices American citizens to demonstrate his "decision-making capability and the firmness of leadership" (in the case of Haiti) and to just change the subject (in the case of Kosovo).Information for the following was found in The McAlvany Intelligence Advisor, Don McAlvany, Editor, April 1999, page 16.

Eleventh grade students in 61 Illinois high schools were given a test by the State Board of Education. The students were asked which types of sexual activities offered the best ways of avoiding pregnancy, HIV, and other sexually-transmitted diseases. Multiple-choice answers included: anal and oral sex, mutual masturbation, French kissing, having vaginal sex with or without a condom, and only having sex with "people you know." Neither "Abstinence" nor "None of the above" was an acceptable answer. It would seem that some tests can be just as instructive as actual classroom study.Information for the following was found in a sidebar titled "Lautenberg Ban Targets the Wrong Weapons," in The Gun Owners, June 22, 1998, page 6.

The Utah Department of Public Safely has published statistics showing that when domestic violence occurs, firearms are used as weapons 1.9% of the time. Knives or cutting instruments are used 3% of the time. Hands, feet, or other parts of the body, however, are used 85.5% of the time. Should we then look for federal legislation that will impose a 7-day waiting period before anyone may use his or her hands or feet?Information for the following was found in a sidebar titled "Veneration X," in The New American, March 29, 1999, page 7.

You would expect the U.S. Postal Service to honor those Americans who have been great leaders, inventors, authors, statesmen, those who inspire, have great vision, or do great acts. So it comes as a surprise that as of January 21, 1999 the post office commemorates an individual who said publically in a speech, "We will kill all the white men in the United States." Is that the inspiration and vision we as a country wish to loudly proclaim? This individual also said, "We have a common enemy. . . . And what we have foremost in common is that enomy - the white man. He's an enemy to all of us." A hundred million 33-cent postage stamps now glorify Malcolm X, and he proudly takes his place alongside the other revered Americans we honor and look up to. Not bad for a convicted felon, pimp, numbers racketeer, armed robber, burglar, racial agitator, drug pusher, genocide advocate, and perpetrator of hate crimes.The following item was found in an article titled "'Takeover' Alive & Well in Arizona," as reported in 9*1*1, January 1999, page 2. 9*1*1 is a pubication of the California Coaltion for Immigration Reform (CCIR), 5942 Edinger, Suite 113-117, PO Box 2744-117, Huntington Beach, California 92649.

The good people of Chandler, Arizona became so concerned about overcrowding, crime, and drugs in their town, the city fathers decided to rid the community of illegal aliens by enforcing on-the-books law. As a result, 432 illegals (all but 3 from Mexico) were deported with the cooperation of local law enforcement officials and the Border Patrol. Well, apparently the law takes second rank to what's politically correct nowadays, so an attorney filed formal protests at the local, state, and federal levels. The lawsuit asks for $35 million in damages and requires reprimands of the city fathers. Recalling the elected officials is also underway. Local media, by deamonized the mayor, city manager, and police, appear anxious to support lawlessness rather than upset those who have entered this country illegally.The following three items were found in an article titled "Federal Theft of Property Rights" by Paul Craig Roberts, as reported in The DeWeese Report,April 1999, page 8.

Its firefighters don't suffer from cronic back ailments. That's good, right? Apparently not. The U.S. Department of Justice has leaped into action and slapped the community with a lawsuit for discriminating against the disabled. Question: Does this mean all fire engines will now be required to have wheelchair ramps? Gee, that sounds like a good idea. In our nation's capital a rescue service has an employee who is infected with Hepatitis B. Even though it's an infectious disease, the department kept him on the payroll, but of course forbid him from administering mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Well, since discrimination of any kind is absolutely unthinkable, the employee sued. What happened? Federal District Judge Joyce Green ruled the worker qualifies for coverage under the Americans with Disabilities Act and therefore must be allowed to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The good news: in Washington DC there's a rescue worker anxious to resuscitate you if you're not breathing. The bad news: you'll catch Hepatitis B if you live. In Malibu, California one Mr. Donald Scott refused to sell his 200-acre ranch to the Park Service. Not willing to let a little thing like "the law" get in their way, Federal Drug agents decided to seize the ranch using as an excuse the suspicion that "drugs might be present" there. Mr. Scott was gunned down and killed when a raiding party of 30 agents broke in through his fromt door. I suspose the excuse "drugs might be present" could be used for the invasion of each and every home in America. Isn't that a comforting thought. I guess the lesson is simply this: give the government whatever it wants. If you value your life. |
