DID YOU KNOW THAT?

On this day in history, December 1, 1850, Frederick Douglass delivered a speech in Rochester, New York, entitled "the Nature of Slavery."

 Douglass described the various methods to make someone a slave for life. These methods were commonly used by slave owners.

 During the speech Douglass said, "It's first aim is to destroy all sense of high moral and religious responsibility. It reduces man to a machine and cuts him off from his Maker. It hides, from him, the laws of God, and leaves him to grope his way from time to eternity in the dark. And it leaves him under the arbitrary and despotic control of frail, depraved, and sinful men."

Los Angeles to join New York and 50 other U.S. cities with ban on feeding homeless people

As the number of homeless people in Los Angeles County continues to rise, the City Council is weighing a ban on feeding homeless people in public areas.

 City Council members Tom LaBonge and Mitch O'Farrell, both Democrats, introduced the resolution after complaints from Los Angeles residents. Arguing that meal lines should be moved indoors, the legislators said the proposal would benefit both the homeless and residential neighborhoods.

 Actor Alexander Polinsky is one Los Angeles resident who complained about the number of homeless people crowding his neighborhood.

 "If you give out free food on the street with no other services to deal with the collateral damage, you get hundreds of people beginning to squat," Polinsky told The New York Times. "They are living in my bushes and they are living in my next door neighbor's crawl spaces. We have a neighborhood which now seems like a mental ward."

 "This has overwhelmed what is a residential neighborhood," Council member LaBonge said. "When dinner is served, everybody comes and it's kind of a free-for-all."

 But advocates for the homeless say public officials are attempting to legislate the poor into invisibility instead of helping those in need.

 "It's a common but misguided tactic to drive homeless people out of downtown areas," Jerry Jones, the executive director of the National Coalition of the Homeless, said to The New York Times.

"This is an attempt to make difficult problems disappear," said Jones. "It's both callous and ineffective."

 While homelessness in the U.S. has dropped for the fourth straight year, falling 4% in the past year, some cities, including Los Angeles, have seen a spike in homelessness. The homeless population in Los Angeles is the second highest in the country, following New York City. Los Angeles County's homeless population rose 15% from 2011 to 2013, to nearly 53,800 individuals, according to a report from the Department of Housing and Urban Development released last week.

Los Angeles would join "dozens of cities in recent years" including Philadelphia, Raleigh, N.C., and Orlando, Fla. that have either enacted or at least debated legislation aimed at regulating the public feeding of the homeless. Over 50 cities have previously adopted some kind of anti-camping or anti-food-sharing laws, according to the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty.

 In March of 2011, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter announced the ban on serving food in public parks, he said moving such services indoors was part of an effort to raise standards for the homeless. The ban was temporarily blocked by a federal court in July 2012 after homeless advocacy groups sued the city.

 "It hardly needs to be said that plaintiffs' food-sharing programs benefit the public interest," Federal Judge William Yohn Jr. wrote in his opinion. "Despite [the city's] considerable efforts, many Philadelphians remain homeless and hungry."

 In Orlando, Fla. a federal appeals court unanimously ruled in 2011 that the city can restrict the feeding of the homeless in order to protect the parks. A spokesperson for the city said that residents and business owners originally complained about trash left after the food distribution, public urination and concerns about crime.

 The court decision states, "The City of Orlando enacted the ordinance to spread the burden that feedings of large groups have on parks and their surrounding neighborhoods."

 City officials were then allowed to enforce an ordinance restricting weekly feeding of the homeless in downtown parks.

UN Labels on US Parks

U.N. designations such as "World Heritage Site" and "Biosphere Reserve" are being placed on dozens of U.S parks and monuments, including Independence Hall, the Statue of Liberty and Yellowstone National Park. At Mt. Mitchell State Park in North Carolina (pictured here), a sign leading into the park designated it as a U.N. Biosphere Reserve. When citizens protested, the words "United Nations" were taken off the sign and "international" was put in its place, to make it seem less ominous. But if all of this is so innocent, why were the words "United Nations" taken off? Is it not possible for federal and U.N. officials to explain the role of the U.N. in these parks and sites?

Not only do "some experts believe it", it is actually quite true. It's called "AGENDA 21". It is the United Nations blueprint for "Sustainable Development" and it mandates that all humans be caged into communities with NO ACCESS to nature, and ZERO private property rights. In other words, to "protect" the environment, your travel will be restricted and your ability to own land will be prohibited.

Under Agenda 21, humans will have to change every aspect of their lives -- right down to the food you put into your mouth and the amount of water that you use. Humans will be forced to live in cramped "sustainable" communities where everything you need is within approx. a five-mile radius. Travel will be eliminated, and every part of your life will be heavily regulated.

If you don't believe us, then ponder the words of Daniel Sitarz, the attorney who wrote the authoritative version of Agenda 21 for the United Nations. He proudly declared,

"Effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound reorientation of all human society, unlike anything the world has ever experienced — a major shift in the priorities of both governments and individuals and an unprecedented redeployment of human and financial resources. This shift will demand that a concern for the environmental consequences of every human action be integrated into individual and collective decision-making at every level. There are specific actions which are intended to be undertaken by multinational corporations and entrepreneurs, by financial institutions and individual investors, by high-tech companies and indigenous people, by workers and labor unions, by farmers and consumers, by students and schools, by governments and legislators, by scientists, by women, by children — in short, by every person on Earth."

Agenda 21 is being implemented locally in cities all across America and around the world. Everyone should read and research it, then get active locally to fight its implementation in your city.

Some common names for A21 programs are "Sustainable Development", "Smart Growth", "New Urbanism", "Communitarianism", "Scenic Byways", and "curtailing urban sprawl" -- a perjorative for keeping humans out of the rural areas because they argue that we are screwing up nature.

This is by no means a comprehensive list of names!

Indeed, the names of the UN programs are different from town to town, city to city. This is intentional to keep people from recognizing these programs in their towns. Therefore, everyone must familiarize themselves with the elements of Agenda 21.

Even though the names are as numerous as the sands on the seashore, they all amount to the same agenda -- to forcefully remove you from your land and to control everything you do.

Rest assurred that your town is targeted for UN Agenda 21 and it is likely being implemented right now. The only solution is to get educated and begin to get active on a state and local level in your government and to educate your neighbors about these dangers.

The only way to counter it is the way it's being implemented: "Think globally; ACT LOCALLY."

You have everything to gain and nothing to lose -- especially if you have children.

- Darren Weeks,

This is a wonderful thought and the visions warm us all. However, not everyone will have a chance at that picture-perfect holiday. The ever-growing number of low-income, poverty-stricken Americans see a different type of Thanksgiving. Some are just happy to have a warm place and a hot meal, and some are happy to receive a Thanksgiving donation for their family this Thanksgiving. Many are even sitting thousands of miles away from their families, eating turkey from a galley, sitting in the sand in their military uniform.

The following fourteen pictures captures a Thanksgiving that America too often forgets. We thought to caption them, but the images speak for themselves. As you’re enjoying your dinner and your family, send thoughts to those who are less fortunate. Happy Thanksgiving.

The Cherokee Tribe abolished and unenrolled black Native Americans, hence freedman. BUT if they can prove Native ancestor they may enroll. Here is my question. Why does it matter so much to be enrolled and recognized by the Cherokee Tribe or any other for that matter? What does it prove really? It's just a number. Every single Nation is sovereign and in turn as a self-governed Nation, they exercise their right to disenrollment anyone they choose. Are they abusing their own laws? Also, I will remind you that they are not permanently disenrollment. If they can prove bloodline they will be accepted. Are you for or against this?

DID YOU KNOW THAT???

On November 26, 1877, Republican Congressman Robert Smalls was accused of accepting bribes while he served in the South Carolina state senate. Smalls was sentenced to 3 years in prison.

 Many newspapers claimed the charges were false and said the Democrats targeted Smalls because he was a successful black representative. Smalls was released, pending his appeal to the state supreme court.

 Democrat George D. Tillman used the unresolved conviction to defeat Smalls in 1878. However, the U.S. Attorney General investigated charges of voter suppression and intimidation during that election.

 South Carolina Democrat Governor William Simpson agreed pardon Smalls, if the attorney general stopped the investigation. Smalls was pardoned and the investigation was dropped.
