"Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them." --Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833

(OMG...and YES I've deliberately copied this link to every category applicable.  This is by far the worst EO...farmers, your equipment can be confiscated, your crops can be fallowed or worse, dictated by the feds what, how, when and if you will grow.  All of us, did you read the part where they can now take citizens for labor uncompensated.  Hmmm, guess that's what all those FEMA camps are really all about.  And YES there is one in South Sacrament, FYI.

A little politically incorrect here, but ummm...wasn't slavery abolished in this country? did we NOT fight a civil war in essence to abolish enslavement and bondsmen permanently?  Did we NOT lose fathers, brothers, sons, uncles, cousins and friends to fight this war? AND didn't that emancipate the black, people of color or slave portion of our population?  And if so, I find it most insulting that any sitting President of the United States would pass an Executive Orders to enslave ALL AMERICANS???  WTF? And we just sit here reading these disturbing articles of apparent fact over our cups of coffee...please don't choke.)

Proposed UN Environmental Constitution for the World Would Establish An Incredibly Repressive System of Global Governance

(Both articles above should be mandatory reading.  For those of you still attempting to deny Agenda 21 as a 'conspiracy theory'...it is not.  It is, in fact, very real, very insidious and very much intruding into your lives and ultimately Agenda 21 is an underlying driving force of the Delta Stewardship Council and the Delta Plan.  What at one time was a 'theory' is now, in fact, a fact.  And also, regardless of being in theory or in practice, 100% of the time conspiracy is a crime.  (Well what's left of our constitution and criminal justice system, but nonetheless a crime.)


And now for some excellent 'insider' advice from a former Gulag prisoner....
