Lunatic Outpost
Scratching the Surface of Sovereignty
By Margo Lane
These
days, there is more and more talk about Sovereign Citizens. As an attorney, the
concept intrigued me. What does it mean to be Sovereign?
Academic
training is difficult to forget. I did what most other lawyers do when a legal
word perplexes: I flip through Black’s Law Dictionary.
According
to Black’s, a “sovereign” is “1. a person, body, or state vested with
independent and supreme authority.” Interesting. So a person can be sovereign,
i.e., independent possessed of self-authority.
But
that begs the question: How?
That
one, seemingly simple question led me into a maze of rabbit holes in the law. I
did a lot of research on sovereigns, and I discovered that it is tremendously
dangerous to pursue the path to sovereignty. I hunted down a couple Sovereign
Citizens and actually flew across the country to meet with one in Los Angeles;
we’ll call him Mr. M.
Mr.
M has been sovereign for over 30 years and is an expert on the constitutional
freedom to travel. Mr. M’s personal library on the subject of the freedom to
travel is extensive, and it should come as no surprise that Mr. M was far more
educated on the constitutional parameters of travel than this formally educated
attorney. Mr. M explained to me that when a person obtains a driver’s license,
that person enters into a contract to abide by all the laws of the licensure,
and therefore, the driver subjects him or herself to the department of revenue
to tag and title any vehicle they wish to travel in, in addition to obeying all
traffic laws. The driver’s license process is therefore a contract, but most
people do not even realize they are entering into a contract that will
ultimately have the effect of restricting their freedom to travel.
Mr.
M’s argument is that if a person refuses to obtain a driver’s license, that
person still has all the freedoms to travel conferred by the constitution
without the limitations imposed by licensure. The Constitution imposes no such
rules like speed limits and tagging vehicles.
This
is a fascinating subject to consider, and completely outside the realm of
normal, socialized thinking. Most people do not stop to consider their options
and merely assume that they must be licensed in order to “legally” drive a
vehicle. While there may be a choice, the court systems hate Sovereign Citizens
and treat them as “crazies.” I was researching this in depth and writing
articles on it and a judge in Kansas told me that if I published any of the
articles, this judge would have me investigated and possibly have my license to
practice stripped. Some of the lawyers I
tried to talk to, including a federal clerk, all told me that the sovereigns
are considered domestic terrorists and they have been targeted by the
Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center.
One
needs only to look at the MIAC report to confirm the reality of such tyrrany.
However, both the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center
and progressive think tanks and focus their criticisms of Sovereign Citizens on
neo-Nazis. There are a lot of “skin heads” in the sovereignty movement, but to
focus on that minority is to ruin the reputation of a vast majority of
otherwise peaceful protesters exercising civil disobedience to a government
they no longer feel serves their interests.
For more information on the topic, John Paul Mitchell wrote a book
called The Federal Zone, which goes
through and explains Supreme Court case law history and legislative genesis.
The book is available online in PDF format for anyone to read. There’s also a
book called Invisible Contracts by
Mercier which explains all the seemingly invisible agreements we make with
society that we can choose to break at any time, if only we are first aware of
the agreements. The premise of both books is that we must first be aware of the
contracts we have unwittingly entered into. Then we must acknowledge the fact
that a contract is invalid where there is not a “meeting of the minds.”
If a person does not understand that they have entered into a contract,
and they are unaware of all the terms of the contract, then how can a contract
be valid and enforceable? Invisible
Contracts talks about why it is so dangerous to be a “sovereign” – and
that’s namely because sovereigns do not pay taxes and are not subject to any
government rule.
The
IRS is forever fighting these folks. There are a few judges who have been
ridiculed when they stand up for the correctness of some of these “sovereign”
legal arguments. Federal Judge Fox was one of them. However, the powers that be
have made it nearly impossible for people who are new to the “movement” to
succeed. For instance, when I went to LA to visit Mr. M, I saw actual
documentation in M’s library that the 16th amendment on federal income tax was
never properly ratified. However, that documentation is inadmissible in federal
courts. Most recently, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals specifically denied to
consider such evidence in a case where a gentleman was being prosecuted by the
Government for attempting to publish and distribute for profit materials on how
to avoid paying taxes due to the illegality of the tax system.
So
federal courts have essentially taken away a person’s right to prove that the
16th amendment should not have the force and effect of law, and therefore, they
should not be forced to pay taxes. The courts also ignore early Supreme Court
cases that have never been overturned that say that the 16th amendment does not
impose a direct tax and that a direct tax would be unconstitutional. If you dig
through the case law enough, there are horrible inconsistencies that are
somehow now treated as ignorable, unsubstantiated, antiquated, and whatever
other excuse the government can come up with to ignore individual and
constitutionally guaranteed freedoms. In a country where free thought is
supposedly encouraged and protected, anyone who breaches the topic of
individual sovereignty is somehow arbitrarily branded as a potential terror
suspect.
The only successful tax protesters have been the ones who followed the
advice in Invisible Contracts and
have done away with using their bank accounts – because a signature card on an
account is a contract whereby the signor waives their 4th and 5th amendment
rights where tax “crimes” are concerned, and whereby the signor agrees to the
propriety of Title 26 of the US Code, which is the income tax provision that
was never positively enacted into law. Like I said, fascinating…but one pretty
much has to be willing to give up a “normal” life in order to gain individual
sovereignty. The system itself is a prison beneath a web of choice and an
illusion of freedom.
Sovereigns
renounce their social security numbers, so they can’t get normal employment.
They get paid in cash because they do not bank, and most employers refuse to
pay in cash unless they engage in black market activities…there’s a deduction
for payroll and compensation to employees and contractors, after all. Actually – and what I am about to say is
probably most heretical of all - the closest thing we have to a sovereign
citizen movement in this country are illegal aliens.
Undocumented
workers by definition don’t have social security numbers, they get paid in
cash, and they fly under the radar. They actually have it better than
documented citizens do because they get all the benefits of the system without
being subjected to it. At its heart, I think this is REALLY what all the
animosity towards illegal aliens is all about, if only folks would stop and
think about what injustice they perceive.
I have been threatened numerous times to stop talking about sovereignty
because as an attorney, I’m supposed to play on the team that buys into the
supremacy of the system - I am supposed to be on the system’s side with regard
to these arguments, and for those who choose otherwise, they will lose all
their clients and credibility – not to mention their license to practice law -
if they start to talk about the propriety of such topics with any earnestness
as an “officer of the court.” Plus, a lawyer can’t run a practice without a
bank account. As an attorney, I’m forced to play the game and I didn’t even
realize what the game was until it was too late to turn back. This is something
most all of us have in common in one way or another.
Despite
this, I do have an unwavering faith that “karma” will get the system…whether in
my lifetime or beyond. For example, the system cannot keep putting people in
jail for theft when they themselves are guilty of worse. For instance, I have
clients who lost their jobs, unemployment ran out, and they broke into a car
and stole a stereo to pawn for food for groceries to feed their family. The
stereo was just over $1,000. That’s a felony offense, punishable by up to 3
years in prison in most states. But somehow it is not stealing when the
government passes a bill to spend $10 billion of taxpayer money to feed kids in
public schools organic food – better food than most of us can afford to feed
ourselves. When the powers that be pass legislation to print more money and
give it interest free to banks that steal people’s property – I say steal
because there was a case out of Indiana where a man won a claim against a
mortgage company trying to foreclose. In a rare judicial moment, the court
determined that the man had given something of value in the contract – a right
to his property – but the bank had given nothing in return because money is not
money.
Money
is a promissory note, meaning it is a promise to pay a debt. But what’s the
debt we are owed? And what currency will we be able to redeem the notes for?
Gold? Silver? Land? When Nixon made the currency fiat in 1971, the currency was
suddenly backed by NOTHING. Therefore, when the bank gave money in exchange for
property, it gave NOTHING of value, and thus the contract was invalid and the
foreclosure void. So how is it we owe the government taxes in the form of this
paper when the paper itself is supposed to have an underlying value owed to us,
The People, and we can’t even redeem this government paper for anything if we
try to exchange it at a the Federal Reserve?
The
entire system is a lie. At the end of the day, the government would have us
believe that the man that steals a car stereo has committed an evil act and
society deserves protection from such a man, justifying a sufficiently long
prison sentence to accomplish said goal. But who is really stealing? Is the man
being sentenced for theft merely a red herring to keep everyone’s eye off the
ball? The ball being the fact that the money is worthless funny money and it’s
the government that owes US a debt, and not the other way around? What’s really
going on here? For those who dare to question, the unavoidable realization is
that the hypocrisy that has entrenched itself in our government is
unsustainable. I have faith that someday people will stop and think about this
long enough to realize we’ve all been had.
Ultimately,
this cannot last. It’s not a matter of if, but when. It’s impossible to tell
when. But eventually, the system will suck every last drop it can from
individual freedom and the People will be so depleted that they will not be
able to ignore the inconsistencies and hypocrisy any longer. My hope is that it
results in mass civil disobedience rather than violence. But the fact of the
matter remains that while there are a brave few who have taken this path into their
own hands, the vast majority of us will be relegated to playing the game until
the majority of us give up that game at the same time. Only then will the true
meaning of sovereignty be discovered, much like it was back in the days of our
Founders.”

Icon “Big Tex” Gets Chemtrailed
By Zen Gardner
They’re at it everywhere, trying to incorporate
chemtrails into every day images. This large tile mural is from a popular
market in Dallas. Big Tex is the famous mascot of the State Fair of Texas, a
giant statue and icon in the center of the fairgrounds.
When Texas used to be known for its
wide open big skies, it’s now famous as one of the most heavily chemtrailed
states.
After all, keep them wild horse Texans
sedated or they might just kick back. Fluoride in the water, sedatives in the
air, adulterated food.
Nice country.
And here in the Lone Pentagram state
of all places, and dear Tex replete with masonic red and blue imagery. Hmmm.
But I digress.
Hey, with all the aluminum oxide and
barium everyone’s ingesting we won’t remember anything anyway, aluminum being
one of the causes of Alzheimer’s. That and the brain damaging anti-cholesterol
statin drugs that they’re now suggesting everyone over the age of 50 take
routinely that also trigger Alzheimer’s.
The ol’ one-two.
Social Engineering – Embed and Repeat
If you’re a Truth “enthusiast” no
doubt you’ve run into the knee jerk reaction when pointing out the chemtrails
to someone, “Oh, those are just contrails!” That, or as several cops and
authorities I’ve pointed them out to, “I haven’t heard anything about that.” Is
that how we operate? If we hear about something from some “reliable” source
it’s real?
Yup.
Every day that goes by is in their
favor as the “accumulation effect” kicks in and people just accept what their
told or not told about the manipulated world around them.
After all, to think otherwise would
cost big time. Consciousness of the real Truth of our world is admittedly
overwhelming. And if you don’t respond to what you learn, karma starts to kick
in a whole lifetime early.
But that’s how they do it, with a
massively controlled complicit media and a population hooked on its every
trend. Consciously or subconsciously.
Orwell Had It Right
“He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the
present controls the past.” – George Orwell
That’s about as profound as it gets,
especially in an age when time travel has become a very real technology. If you
want something to really “bake your noodle”, think about time travel
capabilities in the hands of these controlling psychopaths.
Wow. Good thing Universe will swallow
them up.
Proof Chemtrails are being edited into old moves, commercials, cartoons.
Anyway, here’s another great example of the conditioning and how thorough they try to be. They’re even doctoring old movies now with chemtrails to make it look like they’ve always been there. There are many examples of this but this one’s nice and concise.

Watch for It
This is the kind of thing to keep an
eye out for. If you know their tactics you can avoid pitfalls and alert others
more readily. It’s all around us. Stay really conscious and you’ll see things
you can hardly believe at deeper and deeper levels, much of which you will
learn to avoid it’s so dark.
But other beautiful views arise at the
same time…beautiful people, resilient nature, kind gestures, community.
We’re not dead yet, much to their
chagrin. I mean spiritually as well. They think this barrage of toxins and lies
would put our lights out. Sorry. Far from it. As real as the beautiful earth’s
landscape recovers from seemingly devastating catastrophe after seeming extinction
event, it comes back.
And so do we. For we are eternal
spirit, temporarily inhabiting an incredibly resilient majestic human form in a
fabulously resilient environment.
Glory in it!

The next false flag
disaster
Will it be the one that gets YOU?!
Let's cancel the
elections.
Neither candidate is an
American working for the people.
Both are puppets of the
Jewish international bankers.
Both are experienced in
fleecing and reducing populations.
By John Kaminski
The vilification
campaign by Israel against Iran is the same kind of bogus bombast that British
Jews used against the Russian czar to fool the world, start World War I and
eventually kill 66 million non-Jewish Russians, according to Aleksandr
Solzhenitsyn.
It should be noted
that this philosophy — recently demonstrated in Syria, Libya and Yemen as well
as on the campuses of U.S. universities for the past century — is the one that
now runs both the world and our lives. It is best illustrated through Obama's
totalitarian executive orders and the deployment of airborne drones and police
checkpoints throughout the United States.
All built on a false
paradigm of manufactured terror that emanates from the very people who profess
to be fighting terror. Yes, the people who did 9/11.
The endless
handwringing about the future possibility that Iran will build a nuclear bomb
is the same kind of paranoid foolishness that American Jews used to assassinate
Germany's character for more than a century, before murdering the best of the
German gentiles and creating a Zionist robot zombie state like France — or like
Iraq.
The simple fact that
the U.S. government has engineered a string of false flag attacks on its own
citizens — Waco, Oklahoma City, 9/11, not to mention all the covert attacks on
other nations whose leaders we wanted to 'improve' — with no public opposition
whatsoever (!) indicates the degree of lack of both honest conscience and
objective judgment on the part of all Americans, who ardently defend their
right to remain ignorant of these matters.
As a result, their
choices in the watershed year numbered 2012 are stark.
Mostly ignored are
the fatal conditions that have already been implanted in the bodies of most
Americans through chemical warfare from the skies, about which the mainstream
remains malevolently silent.
The embarrassment of
supermarkets full of demonstrably carcinogenic food and a medical profession
that dispenses poisons to further inflate their bloated incomes presents no
hurdle for the spin doctors, who relish addicting Americans to destructive
behavior and toxic foods because of the payback they get from drug sales and
doctor fees.
Whatever integrity
remained in the craftsmanship of production or the sincerity of public service
has long ago been blotted out by the narcosis of profit, a legacy of the god
Hermes from the time before the comet.
We steal from others
to insulate ourselves from the vicissitudes of the world, without realizing
that in insulating ourselves, we deprive the real world of the fuel it needs to
survive.
Excessive worry about
tomorrow, no matter how bad the forecast is, slows down what gets done today.
And Lord knows we have no time to waste.
So, will they nuke
the London Olympics? Shut down the currency, make everybody go to plastic
money, and corral every last rebel with a brain into FEMA camps for dispatch to
another dimension?
Or maybe they'll just
come around the scoop up the bodies after releasing that long awaited co-factor
through the chemtrails? What will it be? Dengue fever? The plague? Or something
brand new from Fort Detrick?
Think about the
string of false flag disasters — USS Liberty, Yemen, Mombasa, 9/11, London,
Madrid, Bali . . . — all blamed on Islamic terrorists, all conducted by CIA
Mossad. Overwhelming evidence. All blanked out on mainstream news.
As we learned in the
9/11 skeptics movement, no matter how many facts we put together, if nobody's
going to listen to them, they don't really matter, do they?
So we identified the
main blockage to popular acceptance of the 9/11 inside job truth as not because
of the lack of available evidence of both the crime and the coverup, but
because of the unwillingness of people to abandon the false logic of their
apparent affluence and security, and admit that the American government — its
highest leaders — were complicit in the destruction that day. That is still the
big problem.
People still believe
in America. And America no longer exists. It died on September 11, 2001.
So . . . how to make
yourself useful when you know you're going to be wiped out? What are the ones
who make it through all these designed disasters and culling going to need to
survive?
I think the most
useful thing any of us can do in these unpredictable days is work to get rid of
the federal government of the United States of America, because it is
hopelessly infected by a Jewish virus that is so ugly and so embarrassing that
no honest American would ever want to admit to its deeds.
But there is the little
matter of the evidence.
Let's cancel the
elections. Neither candidate is an American working for the people. Both are
puppets of the Jewish international bankers. Both are experienced in fleecing
and reducing populations.
Nobody I know is
voting at all. How can you vote for killers, especially when their stories are
all lies? Besides, rigged computers still count most of the votes in America.
And besides that, all candidates are vetted by Jewish powerbrokers for their
devotion to Israel's homicidal mania.
An emergency
provisional government needs to be set up to supervise the prosecution and
execution of these Jew-sucking traitors, which includes virtually all the
presidential candidates, for their complicity in treason, mass murder and
obstruction of justice.
Who is it you're
fighting for, soldier boy?
If it were for us, or
even for yourself, I would root for you. But your track record definitely does
not hold up.
The American military
record is one of needless rape and murder, needless atomic obliteration of
Japan and needless firebombing of Dresden. And then, dancing on the strings of
the Jewish puppeteers, the morbid Holocaust music plays again in all these
countries who, by now, know what's coming.
The American Jewish
monster. Jews push the buttons and Christians do the killing.
But killing only
begets more killing. And now the boys are coming home.
I bet the Jews on
Wall Street have placed some major bets on chaos.
No progress at all is
ever made toward freedom and liberty without the prominent use of the word Jew
in whatever it is you're explaining.
If it's not already
too late, this is the fact that everyone in the world needs to know.

We Are All Zionists Now
The Magnes Zionist
Self-Criticism
from an Israeli, American, and Orthodox Jewish Perspective
Jeremiah (Jerry) Haber is the nom de
plume of a Jewish Studies professor in Israel. The picture is not of him, but
of his kind of Zionist, Judah Magnes. You are more than welcome to guess at his
identity. (Hint: He is an orthodox Jew.)
Zionism — Jewish nationalism — was a
noble cause until the Political Zionists, in great haste, and with the best of
intentions, founded a state in 1948 that was neither substantively Jewish nor
democratic. The declaration of the state provided the casus belli between the
Arab countries and the Jews, but the war between the Jews and Palestinians was
inevitable, given the statist nationalism of both peoples. Within a few years
of victory, the nascent state proceeded to wipe Arab Palestine off the map.
1. Israel is not democratic in any
serious sense of the term because it is the only putative liberal democracy
that distinguishes nationality from citizenship. You can be a citizen of Israel
for generations and yet not be a part of the nation it represents. This is the
small crack in the windshield of Israeli democracy that has caused more of it
to shatter over time. I simply don’t see how any American who believes in democracy
can accept Israel as essentially democratic. Even Latvia is better in this
regard.
2. Israel is not Jewish in any serious
sense of the term because the three forms of Judaism that have developed there
— secular Judaism, haredi Judaism, and religious zionism — are either devoid of
Jewish content (secular Judaism), bigoted parochial, and isolationist (haredi
Judaism), racist and ultranationist (religious zionism), or a combination of
the above.
Of course, I am painting in broad
strokes. Some of my family and best friends belong to one of these groups. And
there are good aspects of all these ideologies. But on the whole, they have
failed.
Political Zionism brought us the
expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their land by the young
Israeli government, when it prevented the return of the refugees to their
homes, and destroyed around five hundred Arab villages. In effect, the
Political Zionists declared war against the Arab inhabitants of Palestine when
they declared their intention of founding a Jewish state, and when they worked
to make it a reality.
Some will call this another
Israel-bashing blog. But the truth is that I am Israeli; and I love the state
of Israel. I love its people and its culture. I want Israel to be Jewish and
democratic. That is why I am bothered that it is neither. For it to be
democratic the nation it represents has to be constituted by its citizens, and
only its citizens. For it to be Jewish, it needs to preserve and foster its
foundational cultures, both of its majorities and its minorities.
And finally, it has a historic
responsibility to help the Palestinian people create a homeland of their own in
Palestine with the same strength and security as Israel. “Neither to rule over, nor to be ruled over,
” to use the slogan of the Zionists. Ending the Occupation is the necessary
first step, but to avoid neocolonialism and one-way dependency, Israel must go
further. In fact, Israel’s responsibility will end only when the Palestinians
feel as safe in their own state, and as secure in their own pursuit of
happiness, as Israelis do in their own.
Federationalism, binationalism, or whatever – there must be parity
between the peoples.
It is time to set aside the political
Zionist, Ben Gurion, and return to the cultural Zionist, and proponent of
binationalism and federationism, Judah Magnes. Not that Magnes wasn’t a
creature of his age — at the same time that he was negotiating with the
Palestinian Arabs he called them “half-savage” — but at least he realized that
the founding of a Jewish state in the way it was founded would be a terrible
injustice and would involve the loss of life of tens of thousands of people.

Food Miles or Friendly Miles?
Beyond the “Farm to Fork” Paradigm of
Production
Who gets to define “the local”?—Melanie Depuis
No single concept unites the locavore
movement more powerfully than food miles—the distance our food travels before
we eat it. It’s an elegantly simple measure of environmental consciousness, has
the benefit of being easy to understand, and requires one and only one basic
change in behavior: reduce food miles. Doing so is considered critical to the
related tasks of relocalizing the food supply, shrinking the supply chain,
minimizing the fossil fuels used to deliver our food, and supporting local
farms. At first glance, the argument that minimizing the distance food travels
is better for the environment appears to be unassailable. How could anyone
possibly object to the intuitively sensible argument that it’s always a good
idea to buy local food?
As it turns out, there are ample
grounds for objection. The concept of food miles, appealing as it may be, is
flawed on many levels. To begin to see why, consider an analogy. Suppose you
have a friend with a weight problem. This person consumes fries, burgers, lots
of processed food, chili dogs, pizza, bacon, sausage, loads of ice cream, and
enough beer to float a battleship on. Exercise basically consists of walking
from the sofa to the fridge and back. The only redeeming aspect of this
person’s dismal diet is that he drinks only a single cup of coffee a day, with
no sugar and only a splash of half-and-half. Then suppose that one afternoon,
after a dreadful visit to the doctor, this person declares that it’s high time
to get in shape! In a fit of enthusiasm, he announces that he will start his
new regime by . . . leaving the half-and-half out of his coffee.
The locavore emphasis on food miles is
a lot like this person’s emphasis on half-and-half. We’re currently captives of
an industrialized food system burdened with a catalogue of debilitating
problems. Nevertheless, we’ve collectively chosen to isolate and develop an
entire localist ideology around a bit player in the larger drama—the distance
our food travels from “farm to fork.” Locavores—who, it must be noted, have
never really defined “local”—envision their work not only as supporting local
culinary and agricultural initiatives, but also as an overt challenge to
corporate consolidation, globalization, and in some cases capitalism in
general. For whatever reason, the gurus of high cuisine have started to think
less about feeding the world a sustainable diet and (to talk the talk here)
more about restoring the local “foodshed,” rediscovering the “taste of place,”
“relocalizing” the food system, “reembedding food into local ecologies,” and,
once and for all, “coming home to eat.”
Heady stuff. However, the groundswell
of support for what seems to be a perfectly logical approach to reforming our
broken food system actually counteracts the sustainable goals responsible
consumers want to achieve. Food miles are the half-and-half in our coffee; in
reducing them, we make little progress toward the ultimate goal of sustainable
production.

War is always by deception
A
Film By Ryan Dawson
War By Deception
911 Anthrax and Iraq, lies from the same cabal
"War by Deception, the definitive
9/11 documentary
'In all affairs, it's a healthy thing,
now and then, to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for
granted'
Anyone looking at the events of 9/11
with an open mind understands full well that the government conspiracy cannot
be true. This is documented in almost all the 9/11 films, which invariably
focus only on the problems with the official story. Until seeing War by
Deception, it was obvious I had been missing the forest for the trees. This three
hour epic brings matters full circle; capturing in three concise hours what
likely took years of research by Mr. Dawson. If a three hour movie is a turn
off for you, it is very likely that you don't have the desire to understand the
full spectrum of this issue to begin with. Not only does it demolish the
official conspiracy, it ties together the fraud of the Iraq war, as well as the
key Anthrax link that most miss, linking it to the same group of (mostly) dual
citizen criminals whose success in hijacking the American government and using
it as an engine for their own ends is unlike anything ever witnessed in
history. This film should be mandatory viewing for every American, and frankly,
anyone who is deeply troubled by what has transpired in the years since 9/11.
Ryan Dawson is a true patriot and hero of the highest order, and War By
Deception is the definitive documentary on the 9/11 fraud."

Bellingham, Washington - A Local Living Economy
Spending Locally Creates Jobs
Journey of Action traveled to Bellingham, Washington to
highlight the non-profit Sustainable Connections and the local living economy
they have helped create.
According to this video, Bellingham,
WA is one of the most sustainable communities in the US. This is because local business
owners make up the majority of the local economy.
The non- profit organization
Sustainable Connections is dedicated to raising awareness about the personal,
community and economic benefits of choosing local first. They started by
connecting 700 local businesses, supporting them in their efforts to be
"stewards of the region". They engaged the community in a Think Local
/ Buy Local program.
Meet the enthusiastic residents who
support local businesses every chance they get!
A gentle reminder that choosing local
retailers whenever possible creates jobs and community. More dollars will
continue to reverberate within the community if you spend them on local
businesses.

The Doomsday Machine
The
High Price of Nuclear Energy, the World's Most Dangerous Fuel
By Martin Cohen and Andrew McKillop
(2012)
Book Description
Today, there are over one hundred
nuclear reactors operating in our backyards, from Indian Point in New York to
Diablo Canyon in California. Proponents claim that nuclear power is the only
viable alternative to fossil fuels, and due to rising energy consumption and
the looming threat of global warming, they are pushing for an even greater
investment. Here, energy economist Andrew McKillop and social scientist Martin
Cohen argue that the nuclear power dream being sold to us is pure fantasy.
Debunking the multilayered myth that nuclear energy is cheap, clean, and safe,
they demonstrate how landscapes are ravaged in search of the elusive yellowcake
to fuel the reactors, and how energy companies and politicians rarely discuss
the true costs of nuclear power plants—from the subsidies that build the
infrastructure to the unspoken guarantee that the public will pick up the
cleanup cost in the event of a meltdown, which can easily top $100 billion
dollars.
Editorial Reviews
"A polemic on the evils of
splitting the atom."
--Matthew L. Wald, New York Times
Green Blog
“Intensively researched…The authors
deliver a convincing account of the partnership between industry and government
to build wildly expensive generators whose electricity remains uncompetitive
without more subsidies. A persuasive if discouraging argument that nuclear
power offers different but no less nasty environmental problems than burning
hydrocarbons.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“How refreshing to read such a
well-reasoned and thoughtful perspective on the real costs of nuclear power.
The only way to become informed is to be read books like The Doomsday Machine.
Martin Cohen and Andrew McKillop’s newest book contains so much important
information that it completely rips the curtain aside for us all to see, at
last, the real cost of nuclear power. Truly a must read.”
--Graham Nash, of Crosby, Stills, Nash
& Young
"Nuclear power is humankind's
most expensive technological failure, with the price tag skyrocketing after
each new mega-disaster. Its prime accomplishment has been to irradiate large
swaths of the planet while delaying the essential transition to a green-powered
future based on renewables and efficiency.
With uncommon wit and brilliance, the Dooms Day Machine makes it clear
why this horrific technology has left us a financial, ecological and health
disaster only a Strangelove could love."
--Harvey Wasserman, author of Solartopia

Alternate Forces of WWII
HANS ZINSSER
On a night in October 1944, a German
pilot and rocket expert by the same of Hans Zinsser was flying his Heinkel 111
twin engine bomber in twilight over northern Germany, close to the Baltic coast
in the province of Mecklenburg. He was flying at twilight to avoid the Allied
fighter aircraft that at that time had all but undisputed mastery of the skies
over Germany. Little did he know that what he saw that night would be locked in
the vaults of the highest classification of the United States government for
several decades after the war. And he certainly could not have been aware of
the fact when his testimony finally was declassified near the end of the
millennium, that what he saw would require the history of the Second World War
to be rewritten, or at the very minimum, severely scrutinized. His observations
on that one night on that one flight resolve at a stroke some of the most
pressing questions and mysteries concerning the end of the war. By the same
token, what he saw raises many more mysteries and questions, affording a brief
and frightening glimpse into the labyrinthine world of Nazi secret weapons development.
His observations open a veritable Pandora's Box of horrifying research the
Third Reich was conducting, research far more horrendous in its scope and
terrible promise than mere atomic bombs.
