A call for responsibility, and accountability - From C. Brooks and your Editor

from our Roving Correspondent, C. Brooks Nielsen:

I sent the following through the website Congress.org.  This site provides the opportunity to be heard by a larger political audience.  I will also hand write and snail mail this message to Senators Feinstein, Boxer, Snowe and the President.  I am sharing my effort with hopes others will let government know what they have determined is best for our country.  Without our combined show of interest, I fear the loss to our children of the American Promise.

Calling all elected public servants:

America has become a cookbook, and we are all on the menu.  Government financial stimulus, cap and trade, home mortgage handouts, cash for clunkers, environmental tyranny, and worst of all, "healthcare for all" propels nothing but corruption.

YOU can stop the madness, but only if you fix what is broken and leave what works alone!

-         What is broken is “the public option.”  Clean up Medicare and Social Security and other “great society” burdens upon our successful capitalistic system.  Restrict yourself otherwise to common defense from both domestic and foreign threats and to cooperative economic benefits for the free market system. 

-         What works may be clearly seen in the lives of most Americans who gladly take care of themselves and their loved ones and help others who are suffering from temporary set-backs in the course of life.

If you choose not to do your duty, you will be blessed with a comfortable retirement, thanks to American capitalism – unless, of course, you bankrupt America and capitulate to global chaos on your way out the door.

 May God guide you to your own best outcomes.

Thanks, C. The matter of 'public accountability' has been on my mind all week.

We look at the House, the Senate, and even the Presidency, and see continuous examples of a dereliction of accountablity to our fellow Citizens.

We listen to Senator Feinstein lie most openly, in filibuster against an amendment that quite simply addressed a single action, and state that it would "cripple" her secret efforts to "help" our critical water shortage. (See last post, and watch the videos.)

When we look at her words, and juxtapose them with the words and actions of Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, we see that her words were based, not in accountability & transparency, but in a perceived "ownership" of the people and geography of California. The lies that were stated in Senator Feinstein's filibuster were clearly meant for the ears of a press organ of which she feels firmly in control.

In my own life and my own past, I have been 'begged to indulge' those who felt that their wealth gave them excuse to demand a position not theirs by election. The priest who begged this of me was quite ready to sacrifice my wife's self esteem for a rich woman's monies. These were not monies she had earned, but had sued out of a rich husband, rich by his own toil, toil before her time.

This person felt that she could get what she desired, by pressuring the priest with threats of leaving if she didn't get her way. And, unfortunately, she was right.

And I left that church, never to return. Unfortunately for the church, the priest soon left for greener pastures, and position, and bigger money. And the church died.

Once again, I see myself in a fight for someone I love. I see myself in a fight for the People of NObama County, people who have found joy in the toil of farming, and happiness in the sight of a green field. I stand and smile, and see the reluctence of those around me to meet my gaze, to touch & be touched. But, little by little, I see the throng at the Water Rallies grow, the children being brought along, the teens seeing that they can be there & still "be cool." I see my fellows beginning to see that they are in-deed powerful, and only powerless if passive.

I recall how near I came to leaving this home of mine, after so many separate betrayals, so many "trespasses against me." Those individuals have found no great profit or protection in their betrayals.

Yet, I have found a great profit of spirit in going forward, and leaving betrayal behind.

Now we say to Senator Feinstein and others, "We see you."

We see your betrayals, your "secret" agreements, your "power politics." We also see that you do not see where true power lies, and that you will say and do anything to keep what you feel is "rightfully" yours.

And, in our grace, we will warn you. You do hold power, for now. We watch as you threaten, name call and cajole, as you feign outrage and label others bigots. We see your "Kabuki Theater."

We see & hear your denials, know the sins that you "omit," see the three fingers pointing back at you.

And we ask you to be righteous, and accept responsibility for what you've done, the trespasses you've committed. Whether "Ma'am" Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, Charles Rangel,  Dianne Feinstein, or any of the guilty others, we don't care where you come from, or where you claim to "rule" over.

I am not as kind in my predictions of your fate as C. I know that, should you ignore us and continue your lies, your money & power will someday be as ashes in your mouths, or those of your children.

Such is the eventual fate of all unjust rulers, when their "subjects" arise and depose them.

Cyber Warfare Update from Newsy.com

The threat posed by Cyber Warfare is increasingly evident, as anyone who uses Twitter knows all to well. Here's a multifaceted report on this vital subject from Newsy.com

A New Term from the Tea Party folk: "Enviro-Tyranny."

Celebrating the triumphant return of Chris Daniel (KMJ FM & AM)from an extended international tour, a new term has been coined to describe the oppressive activities of the Govt. and "Environmentalists" against the People:

"Enviro-Tyranny."

If you need a clue what that means and what you can actively do about it, don't hesitate to visit The Central Valley Tea Party site. Once there, you can get fully connected with people who are actively fighting back the swelling tide of "Taxation Without Representation" and "Tax & Spend Govt."
Of course, you can also always just check out the newest daily post right here, too.

Why NObama County? And why a "Conspiracy"?

So, why NObama County?

Is this just the latest unjustified complaint list by a bunch of "malcontents" and "sore losers", or a truly serious commentary on the actions (and inaction) of the Obama Administration, its allies and sycophants in Government, and the blatantly self-serving "Environmentalist" Lobby?

Depending on where your loyalties and aspirations lay, it's either or both. If you side with political persons and entities that espouse control of "the People", and are willing to use any and all means to achieve that control, you'll say we're spoiled babies who aren't willing to give up what "They" deem to be a destructive way of life.
If you side with those Citizens of the former "Fresno" County who have made their livelihoods and spent their lives in the vocation of Agriculture (while advancing in the span of less a century from a desert to the most productive "Farm County" in the world) you know that you and your fellow Citizens are being "screwed over" with "Environmental Opinions" used as an excuse to favor not just smelt, salmon, striped bass & "Killer" whales over the NObama County Citizenry, but to further the interests and livelihoods of numerous "special interests", political action groups, legal professionals, ad infinitum ... and Politicians. Especially Politicians.

So, lets start out with the really scary "Conspiracy Theory", the one that screws us completely.
We'll follow the trail of events through the link list, so just take it from me that there really are nearly 500,000 acres of the most fertile land on earth that has been forced to lay fallow due to Government edict.
The really scary Conspiracy Theory goes like this: The water is turned off, the land goes fallow ... awww, what the heck, lets just put it in the grimmest (is that a word?) possible terms ... the land is made barren. The Corporate Farmers, like Boswell & Harris, are badly hurt but not wiped out.
However, the Family Farmers are soon devastated. Their livelihoods gone, they are forced to sell out at pennies on the dollar, are foreclosed upon or their land seized for "back taxes." They are pauperized by both the direct opposition / malicious inaction of the Obama Administration and Congress, aided at every turn by the very ones who used to be considered reliable allies of the Farm Worker, the Unions. The "Environmentalists" (sic) side with those who will assure they are well fed, no matter who else is hurt.

So goes the first stage of the Conspiracy.

In short time, the Family Farmers are gone, the food supply is directly affected, and the People are made dependent upon the Government to assure both the supply and safety of food that now, due to Govt. "Environmental Protection", must be imported from other countries.
Strangely enough, we begin to see more talk of "local-ism" in food production, though precious little action is actually taken. Remember, building dams is expensive, but talk is cheap, and mollifying the People with "We're working on the problem" has always worked for the Politicians before, hasn't it?

(Oh, be sure and look up Famine on Wikipedia. And remember just who caused the famine this time.)

Soon, the increasing restrictions on available water lead to the statewide acceleration of residential & commercial water costs, and water from the East Side of NObama County and the Friant and Pine Flat Dams are wholly diverted to either "restoration of historic fisheries" or thirsty metropolitan areas to the north & south. (See Owens Valley & California Water Wars.)
Meanwhile, the municipalities of the Sacramento region continue to dump untreated sewage into the Delta, and both the Delta Smelt & crops begin to fail.

At this point, the remaining Corporate farms of Western NObama County have gone the way of GM ... That is, they've been "saved" (sic) by the Obama Administration, and are now "owned" by the People. Sadly, they are controlled by those who wish most to control the People, as long as they're in control.

And as always, as California goes, so goes America.

I hope this is as bad as it can get ... But, I may be an optimist.

Cheers!
Kris
