New Zeal from Maggie at Unsolicited Opinion radio
Maggie sent an email update about her scheduled guests, Henry Lamb and Trevor Loudon. I've never heard of Loudon before and at first glance of his site I wasn't interested in reading any more of the left v right nonsense libertarian political pundits continue to peddle. But then I scrolled down and got to all his research about Marxist and Communist ties to Mark Ritchie: http://newzeal.blogspot.com/2010/11/mark-ritchie-file-4-minnesota-sos.html
Loudon links to eye opening research like http://www.keywiki.org/index.php/New_Party
Wouldn't it be a bonus if Trevor has also researched "right wing" radicals like Rand, the Libertarian Party, John Birchers, Freemasons, and Christian Zionists with the same scrutiny? He recovered from his socialist upbringing after reading Atlas Shrugged. What book will help him recover from Rand's Hegelian Libertarian ideology? At what point do Libertarians move to the communitarian middle? Before they know what it is.... or after?
A search of Loudon's site shows the use of the word Communitarian... in the comments:
http://newzeal.blogspot.com/2010/08/concious-capitalism.html
said... Communitarian thinking at its best! If you do not know the term, look it up. It is the Trojan Horse ideology that has spread through corporate America, government, Associations and even Churches like a cancer. In this case, most Doctor's don't even know what it is, let alone how to stop it." http://newzeal.blogspot.com/2010/08/phoenix-economy.html?showComment=1282139625238

Nothing else at New Zeal about Communitarianism. Amazing, isn't it? Maybe our friend Maggie will ask him about why he hasn't written anything about it, for us. :)

Niki Raapana talks to herself about communitarianism
George's show had technical difficulties and they never called back after they lost me twice. I hope they're able to fix things by the time Michael Shaw speaks. I'm sure we'll reschedule.
Last night I started thinking about all the questions people ask me about communitarianism. I then decided to stimulate my archived brain storage with a mock interview with myself. We're gong to post this at the newly revised and empty ACL too, but here it is for now:
notes for interview with george 10/24/10
Q. What is communitarianism?
A. Communitarianism is a Dictatorship of the Community. Unlike communism, which established a Dictatorship of the Proletariat, communitarianism is the more advanced stage of human social evolution.
Q. Is this just a harder to pronounce version of communism?
A. No. The emerging communitarian global system has many similarities to both capitalism and communism. Most of its homeland judicial structure, land and resource use policies and social welfare programs were tested and perfected by totalitarian communists in Russia, South America, Europe and Israel. The communitarian's financial and economic system was tested in the western imperialist and capitalist nations as well as in many of the former colonial states and developing nations classified as Third World.
Communism branched far out from its 19th century roots. Committed members evolved into Fabian Socialists, National Socialists, National Communists, Democrats, Christians, Republicans, Catholics, Fusionists, Evangelicals, Zionists, Pagans, Masons, LaRouchies and Libertarians, who all eventually adopted the common ideology of free market socialism. Imperial British American capitalists and Global Free Traders merged with mercenaries, academics, mobsters, environmental scientists and natural resource experts who all just happen to also promote free market socialism, known in academia and the higher courts as communitarianism.
The basic 1848 communist theory was that capitalism and communism were two necessary, conflicting, temporary stages in human social development. The final happy stage would arrive when the whole world descended into chaos and all sides to every conflict finally synthesized under one perfect ideology. Although Marx called the communism stage a dictatorship of the proletariat, he never said what the final stage would be called. It's our thesis that the final stage in the Hegelian-Marxist dialectic is called communitarianism.
Q. Can you break this down into more bite size pieces?
A. We can try. Communitarianism can be broken down into four main sub sections.
1. philosophy
2. religion
3. political ideology
4. law
1. Philosophically, communitarianism is the final synthesis in the Hegelian dialectic. Communitarians insist that humanity cannot advance to its final evolutionary stage of perfection without the help of their expert planning, guidance and administrators, who are obviously much more enlightened than the rest of us common born sinners.
2. The religious basis for communitarianism rests in the oldest dialectic still in existence, the Talmud. Dr. Amitai Etzioni of the Institute for Communitarian Policy Studies at George Washington University in DC is the American guru. He's a former Israeli commando who studied the Talmud and the Kaballa, and according to him, this makes him the international "expert" on how to build more livable communities.
In his 30 plus published books and hundreds of articles, Etzioni laid out standard Hegelian justifications for military and community development interventions. His solution to staged Hegelian clashes between nations is to end all nations. Etzioni assures us that individual rights and liberties can only continue to exist if they are balanced against the common good. The least discussed fact about the new legal system is that all former laws must be made agreeable to the superior unwritten Talmud. Zionist led Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the rise of Islamic law in formerly Christian nations are part of a perfectly crafted Hegelian ploy to ensure a brutal, endless conflict continues to grow between the two primary religious barriers to communitarian global governance.
3.. Politically, it's the Third Way, Radical Middle theory that allows its followers to justify fascist warmongering on the corporate right and encourage peace actions of the antiwar left, at the same time. Hegel taught his followers to play both sides if necessary, to flip-flop back and forth, because long drawn out staged wars and senseless bloody conflicts are essential to human advancement.
Both Bushes and both Clintons were described many times in the American press as communitarians; Senator Barack Obama was hailed by the Democrats as the Third Way Wonder Boy in 2004.
4. Communitarian Law is the legal foundation for the emerging world justice system. It's the global standard of norms for rebuilding the world under a new model of governance with jurisdiction over all national state citizens. Internal structural changes necessary to adopting a global bureaucracy were outlined by the United Nations in Local Agenda 21. LA21 supports every UN Resolution of Rights adopted since its inception. This document expands the authority of global institutions and their global decrees into every private home and private business on the planet.
The foundation for America's conditioning to submit to communitarian law was slipped into the U.S. under the Administrative Procedures Act of 1946, at about the same time the United Nations was formed. Many of the 21st century UN LA21 land and resource use regulations are enforced by local American agencies operating under the authority of this sixty four year old act.
Q. What would you define as a communitarian crime?
A. Communitarian crimes are violations of community regulations. When Americans are charged with communitarian crimes, the procedure for due process is not the same as what happens when Americans are charged with actually hurting someone or damaging someone's property. Communitarian crimes do not require measurable property damages.
Communitarian criminals are people who took a risk, traded home farm products, sold or donated used children's clothing, harvested natural herbal remedies, made too much noise, had an argument, smoked or farted in public, got fat, made somebody feel bad, had a dirty kitchen or dirty kids, looked scary, talked to themselves, sat down on the sidewalk, didn't care enough about keeping the neighborhood clean, nice or safe, or refused to donate their private land to help save the trees, birds, fishes or animals.
The system is designed so that the agency that writes and adopts the communitarian law is also the agency that sits in judgment of the accused. The burden of proof is not on the state. There is no appeals process for communitarian crimes; only guilty people are charged with committing communitarian infractions of revised and updated ordinances.
Q. What is Local Agenda 21?
A. LA21 itself is a lengthy, boring document (that few will ever take the time to read). It describes the goals and ultimate purpose of equitably micromanaging all global land, people and natural resources. LA21 suggests structural changes and specific legislation to be introduced in every nation. LA21 defined a vaguely benevolent system of Community Law that overrules all contrary national and state constitutional law. The UN's official 1987 definition of Sustainable Development is the communitarianized, spiritual version of Marx's atheistic "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need."
It's a real disadvantage to our nation that very few Americans know (or care) that every federal agency in the United States changed their mission statements to promote sustainability immediately after LA21 was adopted. Our leaders never once bothered to tell us that LA21 is based in communitarian law or that UN Sustainable Development principles violates our precise legal contracts that say our government has to defend our private property, private business, private farms, private medicine, private worship, and private lives from all invaders, foreign or domestic.
Q. Communitarian experts say a global government would be impossible to build. Do the communitarians really have the capacity to do what they swear they can never do?
A. Almost. The communitarian global governance model shifts public duties formerly performed by answerable public servants to unaccountable private-public partnerships and community oriented development police, and it adds new duties to their job descriptions every day. The terms for Communitarian global governance have been quietly adopted for over a century in legislation, private meetings and agreements between national leaders and international community developers. All the regions and regional trade unions have already been established. Every member state in the European Union has already adapted their national legal systems and formally adopted communitarian supremacy of law. In the United States and the United Kingdom, communitarian supremacy has been introduced quietly into the national systems under the guise of Free Trade Agreements (like the early EU), environmental and consumer protections, volunteerism, service training, healthy neighborhoods, neighborhood watch, neighborhood planning, Transit Oriented and ABCD Development, 2020 Visions, Rebuilding Community, The Wars on Terror, Drugs, Smoking and Obesity, and many more ways... all designed with one Common Purpose in mind.
Q. How do we learn to recognize communitarianism in our own community?
A. At the local level, Communitarian governance bypasses the normal municipal and county government apparatus. Every agency is merged with the others. it's called Interdepartmental Cross Training. There are no more separations of powers. Elected officials often hire city administrators and employ outside advisers and groups like ICLEI to draft communitarian plans and revised ordinances and regulations. New citizen responsibilities and requirements are swiftly adopted without debate by elected council members who all gain financially from the development games. (The list of Seattle Community Developers who earned high level posts in the Obama administration is long.) The day-to-day redevelopment of each individual community is administered by lower-level, un-elected and self-appointed councils, boards, committees, international partners, advisers and community development teams, many of whom don't have the first clue what they're working to implement.
Even where we live, Kenny Lake, a tiny rural Alaskan community of 400 residents, our local Community League is communitarian now. For years the league had two small jobs. They took care of the community well and hosted our tiny, once yearly, one day fair. Under the patient guidance of retired teachers, mental health providers and federal parks employee,s they've spiritually evolved into a Board of Directors with seven standing committees. Now they're asking everyone here to tell them their skills so we can all volunteer to help them with all the new grant funded community economic development.
Q. How far has it penetrated in the U.S.?
A. The core foundation for the U.S. communitarian system is already established. Community Development is a standard agency in every state. The term Sustainable Development expanded from the UN into the mainstream private business sector in less than a decade. Every inch of the USA has an adopted plan and vision for the future, and the goal of every single one of them is to ensure sustainability.
In the cities, Communitarians have already conditioned Americans into accepting aspects of life in controlled collectives. Borrowing from the most successful collectives in recent history, Communitarians utilize and expand on programs, policies and ideas perfected by the British Fabians, Imperialists, Russian Soviets, Chinese Communists, Nazis, Fascists, and Israeli commandos. This is why you hear so many Americans saying "it's socialism!" or "it's communism!" or "it's fascism!" or "it's capitalism!"; many people recognize these ideologies when they see them manifesting. But it's only once people start seeing more than one ideology going on at the same time that communitarianism begins to make total sense.
Q. Is there an easy way people can identify if a communitarian regulation is in violation of U.S. law?
A. Yes. In the U.S., any law not based in property is unconstitutional. All legitimate U.S. law must adhere to constitutional principles, and the U.S. Constitution is based entirely in property ownership. All legitimate criminal activities must produce some level of property damages. Civil suits must also request compensation for damages to property. Communitarian crimes are actions by people that interfere with the community developers' plans for rebuilding a safer, more livable community. Anything designed to improve "quality of life" is a communitarian program.
Communitarian Law is supposed to bring the entire world peace, security, harmony and happiness. Preventing bad people from doing bad things is the communitarians enlightened, moral imperative. Like high tech soothsayers, they steal our most private information and use it to predict our future, then they use their special trained community cops to stop bad people and bad things from happening.
Q. Should I buy more guns? (I hear this one a lot!)
A. Under the communitarian system, individual rights and liberties are not always balanced against the common good in the same violent way it happened to the people of China, the Ukraine, Cambodia, Iraq and Afghanistan. The more morally evolved and quasi-spiritual communitarians are a lot nicer when they balance individual and state rights against the rights of the community in more easily persuaded countries.
Q.. Is there an easy way to spot communitarian activity?
A. Yes. Any move by a small group of concerned citizens to change community behaviors is suspect. Their activities often begin with regulating private business and updating land use regulations. If there are a lot of new agencies promoting sustainable development and the creation of small "expert" councils with sub-committees (like the Alaska Food Policy Council) we can soon expect drastic, unnecessary changes to our personal freedoms. Some actions, like the new xray scanners in American airports, are right in our face and can't be ignored. Others are more subtle and behind the scenes; we have to look a little closer to identify them.
Right now they're very busy teaching us our new roles as global citizens. Internationally acclaimed communitarian legal advisers teach people across the world how to teach their neighbors to become better stewards of their local environments.
To a communitarian, we become better citizens and stewards when we willingly give up any constitutional claims to unalienable rights. Community Rights are more moral than outdated Individual Protections under the people's law. Communitarian gods and goddesses are the ones who balance our freedom to travel, move goods, offer services, produce food and products or otherwise live naturally off our privately and publicly owned lands.
Q. What's the final result of communitarianism?
A. The communitarian system changes formerly free people from being controllers over their own lives and resources to becoming the controlled resources themselves.

SubieSisters Radio interview today at 8pm EST
It's real winter now.You have been invited by SubieSisters to join a live Community Call.
The Patriot Dames Radio Show (Join in)
Host: SubieSisters - subiesisters@thepatriotdames.net
Episode: EPISODE64 - Niki Raapana returns

feds seek to curb American fishing rights?
I'll be on the Secret Truth again tomorrow with George and Charlotte live from the Ramada Inn in College Station, Texas. Live on Location TV
Here's a sad update from Consuelo on how far gone America is and how far under international law we've sunk. Time to Reclaim OUR National Parks, don't ya think? And I haven't forgotten that Green Beret instructor from Fort Richardson who told me there is NO UN controlled land in the USA. Wonder if he ever looked it up. UNESCO is the United Nations, and internationally protected means just that.
Feds to 60 million anglers - We don't need youKluane/Wrangell St. Elias/Glacier Bay/Tatshenshini-Alsek
(60.00 N 141.00 W) -- satellite image
UNESCO designated the following parks in the Yukon as a World Heritage Site. It is the largest internationally protected area in the world.
- Kluane National Park, Yukon, Canada
- Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Reserve
- Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska, USA (added 1992)
- Tatshenshini-Alsek Wilderness Park, British Colombia (added 1994)
The Tatshenshini-Alsek river system contributes 95% of the chinook salmon, 90% of the sockeye salmon and 75% of the coho salmon for the multi-million dollar commercial fishing industry in the Dry Bay area of the Gulf of Alaska. This river system is one of only three major salmon-bearing rivers on the northern Pacific coast, with an important sustenance fishery for the people of the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations being found at Klukshu.

I've also agreed to do an interview on The Power Hour on Oct 21st at 6am Alaska time. I realize some of my supporters are very wary of these folks (and I know one for sure who would prefer I kept my distance), but the gal who callled me is very enthusiastic about gertees. I'll go on any shows right now that will put the word out there about our recycled portable tent homes. As the whole housing crisis reaches into every city, town and rural area in America, more people may be interested in finding out how to make themselves a home. I wish the new book were finished.
I'll be back on the Patriot Dames on nov 19 too.

Contemplating another Alaskan winter in Gertee
Winterized Gertee pods - detachable
I'm doing a radio interview on October 1 at 8pm EST with the Patriot Dames on Talkshoe.com. Be nice to write a new article before I go on but still too much work to do before real winter sets in. I know people want an updated synopsis of how many communitarian programs and laws are in place now, and actually, so do I. Many thanks to artist Charles Kraft for suggesting us.
Here I am starting to "camp" for my fourth year in Kenny Lake, and it's been a trip to think about what changes have happened to my life since that first winter here in my trusty Girl Scout wall tent. I spent months freezing my off ass in that tent, wishing at least once every day that I had a yurt. I dreamed of owning a portable tent I could insulate well enough to hold some heat. Now, three years later I have not one but three gertees, and a lot more other things I need.
I took two bages of R-19 insulation from Tim's pile that's been under his porch for a year and installed it in the walls of my new16 footer. It's attached to my original 16' gertee which is now just an entryway, kitchen, pantry and dining room. The woodstove is heating both so far, but it's still above zero. I'll have to install some kind of fan to the stack; Ron suggested I modify a bathroom exhaust fan. I'm still using all the wool pieces and the RadiantGuard aluminum reflective foil for ALL my ceilings, plus stuffed up a few random pieces of styrofoam insulation I got out of a clients "to the dump" pile. Our friend Rick said he has 4 bags of the same insulation Tim has and I can have them whenever I drive over and pick them up! This means I can cut 15 more 6' posts and insulate the 20 footer! I'll use it right where it is and hope it holds up to the wind. Still waiting to get a big enough piece of solid waterproof something to put on the roof before I install the insulation. Learning about actual constuction materials now and how stupid I've been to not use visqueen sheets that come as wide as I need them! Plus there's amazing red tape that goes with it. This also means that EVERY city in the USA has enough leftover materials from building sites to build thousands of gertees for the homeless people. I didn't know there's almost 100,000 homeless people in LA! 100,000!!????? Gertees would be SUPER easy to make for that climate... I think I need to finish the gertee book asap.
Moved my shower spot into the kitchen right next to the woodstove, have a 21 inch metal tub that catches most of the water. I use about a gallon in the 4 gal sun shower. For extra heat and a ready supply I've got a 20 gallon metal pot filled with water set next to the back of the stove and three large pots on the metal shelf on the left side. The top of the shelf has ceramic tiles and makes a nice cookspace. To the right of the stove I have a small metal stand that also has ceramic tile on top. Behind that is a metal baker's rack with the bottom half for wood storage and the counter has 2 metal washtubs for dishes. Tucked in behind the baker's rack there's a small metal typing table I got from Tonsina Lodge 4 years ago, it makes a perfect dish drying spot.
New interior canvas wall cover
Had to scratch the plan to only add layers on the outside of the summer kitchen gertee, too much wind came through in the big storm the other night. Put up a layer of old felt from big gertee on the west side of the kitchen and covered it with the new burgandy canvas I've been using for the exterior walls. We like it so much I'll do the same thing in the eastern kitchen side with what's leftover from the bright yellow.

My first winter camp in Kenny Lake
My friend Caya is 10 now and says she's old enough to be really happy to see meat hanging, whereas when she was "younger" it made her sad. I had to tie every one of these huge chunks to the ceiling while Tim and Ronnie held them up. We're canning and freezing it now.

I'll be on Govern America with Darren and Nancy June 13, 5am AKT
Greandma's helperI've been invited to join Darren and Nancy on their Sat am weekly radio show before, but I wasn't prepared to go on live radio to discuss communitariansm at 5am my time. I've never been a morning person and most of my writing and long term jobs were nights or graveyard shifts. My summer "schedule" has been waking at 8am no matter what time I go to bed, because the daylight and the heat is enough to wake me. (I'm totally acclimated to sleeping in a very cold room.) I do have a new portable phone now so at least I can move around during the call and we won't have to talk over the scratching noises. Hope you can join us, bring coffee.

"Solutions Not Politics" with Host Devvy Kidd, 6 to 7 pm PST (rebroadcast at 3am) on the Micro Effect Radio Broadcast Network, http://www.themicroeffect.com/listenlive.htm

I'll be a guest on Devvy's show May 7, 2009 at 5pm Alaska time.
Planned on writing a new communitarian law article but the weather has been exceptional here; I've spent every possible moment outside soaking up the rays. Only six weeks until summer solstice so we're getting a lot of daylight... we go from one extreme to the other. I love not having to start a fire when I wake up, so acclimated to the cold that 50 above inside feels warm.
Gertee update: Nordica decided spending a week in gertee was like heliotheraphy because of the skylight. Keep getting great feedback on the new wall and roof covers from men who normally never notice my decorations. Daniel said it makes him feel like he should have a suit and tie on when he comes inside now. Got the 18' tore down yesterday and moved it to the new spot today. My neighbor Ron is adding two layers of plywood to the roof-ring for extra reinforcement, suggested I buy myself a small kit of battery operated saws that he's sure I can handle. Thinks they would make a useful addition to the DIY kit. He brought over his set and they are very light weight tools. He says I already started with the hardest saw to master (my chainsaw) and that these saws will be easy for me to learn on. I did use a small saw for my minis, so I guess it's time for me to learn to cut my own wall slats and make roof-rings now too. Working on a new floor platform idea using big plastic tubes for beams. If it works gertee will leave a very slight imprint on the earth, just an indentation that looks like a crop circle. And this time I laid a pipe for bringing cold air through a hole to the stove.
Globalist philosophy
Environmental Communitarian Law has been practiced in the EU Court for over 50 years. It is the legal philosophy that sustains depopulation programs. The current flu scare is obviously part of the depopulation agenda since so many laws have been passed that justify emergency powers for confiscations, quarantines and forced vaccinations. Cities around the world "practice" procedures for exactly this type of emergency. The flu pandemic wouldn't even have to be real, we'd only need to believe it was. This makes traveling seem very dangerous (and the Atlanta FEMA body bags story seems to tie in very nicely with this).

From our friend Darren in BC:
UNDERSTAND THEIR POSITION AND PHILOSOPHY
“Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?”
- Maurice Strong, founder of the UN Environment Programme
“A massive campaign must be launched to de-develop the United States. De-development means bringing our economic system into line with the realities of ecology and the world resource situation.”
- Paul Ehrlich, Professor of Population Studies
“The only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another United States. We can’t let other countries have the same number of cars, the amount of industrialization, we have in the US. We have to stop these Third World countries right where they are.”
- Michael Oppenheimer, Environmental Defense Fund
“Global Sustainability requires the deliberate quest of poverty, reduced resource consumption and set levels of mortality control.”
- Professor Maurice King
“We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place for capitalists and their projects. We must reclaim the roads and plowed land, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers and return to wilderness millions of acres of presently settled land.”
- David Foreman, co-founder of Earth First!
“Complex technology of any sort is an assault on human dignity. It would be little short of disastrous for us to discover a source of clean, cheap, abundant energy, because of what we might do with it.”
- Amory Lovins, Rocky Mountain Institute
“The prospect of cheap fusion energy is the worst thing that could happen to the planet.”
- Jeremy Rifkin, Greenhouse Crisis Foundation
“Giving society cheap, abundant energy would be the equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun.”
- Prof Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University
“Our insatiable drive to rummage deep beneath the surface of the earth is a willful expansion
of our dysfunctional civilization into Nature.”
- Al Gore, Earth in the Balance
“The big threat to the planet is people: there are too many, doing too well economically and burning too much oil.”
– Sir James Lovelock, BBC Interview
“My three main goals would be to reduce human population to about 100 million worldwide, destroy the industrial infrastructure and see wilderness, with it’s full complement of species, returning throughout the world.”
-Dave Foreman, co-founder of Earth First!
“Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class - involving high meat intake,
use of fossil fuels, appliances, air-conditioning, and suburban housing - are not sustainable.”
- Maurice Strong, Rio Earth Summit
“All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and
behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.”
- Club of Rome, The First Global Revolution
“Mankind is the most dangerous, destructive, selfish and unethical animal on the earth.”
- Michael Fox, vice-president of The Humane Society
“Humans on the Earth behave in some ways like a pathogenic micro-organism, or like the cells of a tumor.”
- Sir James Lovelock, Healing Gaia
“The Earth has cancer and the cancer is Man.”
- Club of Rome, Mankind at the Turning Point
"A cancer is an uncontrolled multiplication of cells, the population explosion is an uncontrolled multiplication of people. We must shift our efforts from the treatment of the symptoms to the cutting out of the cancer. The operation will demand many apparently brutal and heartless decisions."
- Prof. Paul Ehrlich, The Population Bomb
"A reasonable estimate for an industrialized world society at the present North American material standard of living would be 1 billion. At the more frugal European standard of living, 2 to 3 billion would be possible."
- United Nations, Global Biodiversity Assessment
“A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.”
- Ted Turner, founder of CNN and major UN donor
“… the resultant ideal sustainable population is hence more than 500 million but less than one billion.”
- Club of Rome, Goals for Mankind
"One America burdens the earth much more than twenty Bangladeshes. This is a terrible thing to say in order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it's just as bad not to say it."
- Jacques Cousteau, UNESCO Courier
“If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels.”
- Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, patron of the World Wildlife Fund
“I suspect that eradicating small pox was wrong. It played an important part in balancing ecosystems.”
- John Davis, editor of Earth First! Journal
“The extinction of the human species may not only be inevitable but a good thing.”
- Christopher Manes, Earth First!
"Childbearing should be a punishable crime against society, unless the parents hold a government license. All potential parents should be required to use contraceptive chemicals, the government issuing antidotes to citizens chosen for childbearing."
- David Brower, first Executive Director of the Sierra Club
“In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill.”
- Club of Rome, The First Global Revolution
“We need to get some broad based support, to capture the public’s imagination… So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts… Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest.”
- Stephen Schneider, Stanford Professor of Climatology, lead author of many IPCC reports
“Unless we announce disasters no one will listen.”
- Sir John Houghton, first chairman of IPCC
“It doesn’t matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true.”
- Paul Watson, co-founder of Greenpeace
"We've got to ride this global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy."
- Timothy Wirth, President of the UN Foundation
"No matter if the science of global warming is all phony, climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world."
-Christine Stewart, fmr Canadian Minister of the Environment
"The climate crisis is not a political issue, it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity. It is also our greatest opportunity to lift Global Consciousness to a higher level."
- Al Gore, accepting the Nobel Peace Prize
"The only way to get our society to truly change is to frighten people with the possibility of a catastrophe."
- emeritus professor Daniel Botkin
"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis."
- David Rockefeller, Club of Rome executive manager
"Humanity is sitting on a time bomb. If the vast majority of the world's scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe that could send out entire planet's climate system into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have ever experienced - a catastrophe of our own making."
- Al Gore, An Inconvenient Truth
"By the end of this century, climate change will reduce the human population to a few breeding pairs surviving near the Arctic."
- Sir James Lovelock, Revenge of Gaia
"Climate Change will result in a catastrophic, global seal level rise of seven meters. That's bye-bye most of Bangladesh, Netherlands, Florida and would make London the new Atlantis."
- Greenpeace International
"Climate change is real. Not only is it real, it's here, and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly new global phenomenon - the man-made natural disaster."
- Barack Obama, US Presidential Candidate
"We are close to a time when all of humankind will envision a global agenda that encompasses a kind of Global Marshall Plan to address the causes of poverty and suffering and environmental destruction all over the earth."
- Al Gore, Earth in the Balance
"In Nature organic growth proceeds according to a Master Plan, a Blueprint. Such a 'master plan' is missing from the process of growth and development of the world system. Now is the time to draw up a master plan for sustainable growth and world development based on global allocation of all resources and a new global economic system. Ten or twenty years from today it will probably be too late."
- Club of Rome, Mankind at the Turning Point
"The concept of national sovereignty has been immutable, indeed a sacred principle of international relations. It is a principle which will yield only slowly and reluctantly to the new imperatives of global environmental cooperation."
- UN Commission on Global Governance report
"Democracy is not a panacea. It cannot organize everything and it is unaware of its own limits. These facts must be faced squarely. Sacrilegious though this may sound, democracy is no longer well suited for the tasks ahead. The complexity and the technical nature of many of today's problems do not always allow elected representatives to make competent decisions at the right time."
- Club of Rome, The First Global Revolution
"In my view, after fifty years of service in the United National system, I perceive the utmost urgency and absolute necessity for proper Earth government. There is no shadow of a doubt that the present political and economic systems are no longer appropriate and will lead to the end of life evolution on this planet. We must therefore absolutely and urgently look for new ways."
- Dr. Robert Muller, UN Assistant Secretary General
"Nations are in effect ceding portions of their sovereignty to the international community and beginning to create a new system of international environmental governance as a means of solving otherwise unmanageable crises."
- Lester Brown, WorldWatch Institute
"A keen and anxious awareness is evolving to suggest that fundamental changes will have to take place in the world order and its power structures, in the distribution of wealth and income."
- Club of Rome, Mankind at the Turning Point
"Adopting a central organizing principle means embarking on an all-out effort to use every policy and program, every law and institution, to halt the destruction of the environment."
- Al Gore, Earth in the Balance
"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."
- UN Agenda 21
"The earth is literally our mother, not only because we depend on her for nurture and shelter but even more because the human sepcies has been shaped by her in the womb of evolution. Our salvation depends upon our ability to create a religion of nature."
- Rene Dubos, board member Planetary Citizens

Radio interview on Secret Truth, Saturday 9pm CST
I'll be on George's show again tomorrow at 6 pm Alaska time. He was a very nice and informed host and I'm sure this will be another good show.
http://www.thesecrettruth.com/mainpage.htm
I was able to finally list the coat on ebay! Now, won't it be interesting to see if anyone buys it after all the trouble I went through to get it to stay up. heh.
I joined facebook the other day. Didn't want to, argued against it, but now that I did I have to say it's pretty cool to reconnect with so many people I love. Plus there is an ACL group there started by a young man we didn't know. The group is growing and promises to be something I never thought I'd live to see. Please send me an invite if you're also on facebook and want to be my friend. See ya there!

Radio interview with Dr. Stanly Monteith at 5pm AKT
One of our ACL supporters mentioned it looks like I'm being led through the gamut of Right Wing Christian Radio shows. Monteith did contact me after Constance recommended he have me on his show. I have no reason to think Monteith's followers have the same inabilty to tell the difference between a thesis and a magazine article, or that Monteith provides them with a forum to voice their obvious mis-understandings. But, based on my new found understanding of these tactics, I will not be led into another dialectical argument about the role Zionism plays in Communitarian thinking.
My apology to Constance in no way means I admit she is right about my false premise. All I admitted to was falling for a sucker punch delivered below the belt. Our thesis about communitarianism has in no way been refuted by Buber's connection to Theosophy. Indeed, it has only been strengthened by this confirmation. Constance's information about Buber backs up both Bobby's and my work on the Theosophical portion of the overall divine plan.
If I recall correctly, Nancy Levant, who always seemed so "real" to me, also did this same "circuit" before she suddenly disappeared for over a year. ACL work has led me down many strange paths, but nothing is freakier to me than the shell who returned.

Radio interviews this week with Cumbey and Monteith
Mt Drum, Wrangell St. Elias International Park
Mt Drum behind gertee
spagetti and meatballs with salad and garlic bread
Friedrich family spagetti cooked on a woodstoveThursday I'll be interviewed by Dr. Stanley Monteith on Radio Liberty.
Yesterday I filled my cart with my dirty laundry and hauled it up to the Merc about 3 pm. It seemed like it wasn't too cold when I left home, but by the time I got there it was 42 below outside and for some reason the laundrymat was packed full of people. So I left my cart sitting outside and walked back home to gertee, waited 2 hours, and walked back in the dark after the rush was over. Took a shower, washed 3 loads, and by the time they were done drying my hair was dry too. As I walked home pulling my cart behind me I thought about how handy my cart is, and about how strong I feel because I know I can do this kind of work in this kind of weather. I ran into several church going white Christians driving big new trucks who smiled and waved as they drove past me, but it was an Ahtna Indian lady who wanted to figure out how to fit me, my laundry and my cart in the back of her little car. She kept saying, "It's too cold outside to walk." She also told me she has a new grant funded job teaching rural people about the dangers of tobacco smoke and poor eating habits that lead to diabetes, and she smokes cigarrettes!
One of the primary inroads the communitarians make into rural Alaska is via all their new Native "community health" programs. There's signs all over Glennallen asking people to call the authorities to "report" any signs of domestic violence they see or hear. Now it's the community's fault if local parents argue or yell at their wayward children. No yelling allowed, ever. We all need to be trained to spy on our next door neighbors, but it's not a bad thing, it's for a "good" reason, don't ya know? A good community monitors the health and well being of all its residents.

Is Obama an Israeli Asset Based False Flag Operation?
I found a picture of Etzioni with Obama.It's looking more and more like Obama is another Israeli false flag operation.
There's a lot of people writing about Obama's civilian branch of the military, and speculation about how that would actually work is ongoing. Too bad most people won't make the connection between community economic development and a civilian military corps. The communitarians have been mapping people's skills and abilities for 50 years already. When the call comes to "serve" the common good, our callers already know what assets we have to contribute to the cause. They've also already identified the potential for problems.
Update on radio interviews
I've been invited back to Constance's radio show next Tuesday at 4pm Alaska time (8pm Eastern). Sorry about the mix-up on the showtime in my previous post, not many people realize Alaska is on its own time zone, an hour behind Pacific. Used to be 4 time zones in Alaska, and it was a real pain to try to call our government offices in Juneau when I lived in Fairbanks. I think that was also when I gave up bothering to vote in national elections because the national news would announce the winners before most Alaskans had gone to the polls. As for listening to it now and the 20 bucks a month fee, Pete commented that he has a recording that we can somehow download, and I'll work on that. Actually I've been asked more than once to create a better list of direct links to mp3s of all my interviews.
I'll also be a guest on Dr. Stanly Monteith's radio show on Thursday, January 8 at 3pm AK time. http://www.radioliberty.com/
Skinny Legs and All....
My veils arrived and they're so pretty. I made a video last night that Nordica won't let me put up. Heh. She said I can't read from 2020 with a veil on, period, end of discussion. I would've posted it if she hadn't called to say Merry Christmas and I told her about it. So then I started doing some research on Etzioni for a new ACL article and decided instead to make a video of him. I'm pretty excited that I figured out how to use Windows MovieMaker. Producing and writing video documentaries was my college journalism focus (not print), but that was way back when the cameras were so heavy I couldn't lift them myself, and editing, even though we taped in beta, was very complicated. I watched her make our gertee video and she's so fast at everything on the computer that I was sure I would always have to depend on her to make them for us (like website design). But I learn more watching than I realize.
Of course now I've spent hours scouring the internet for pictures and new quotes and I've got a lot of new info to sift through before I can write just a basic outline. Spent about eight hours studying the history of the Israeli Hagana, Palmach, Irgun and Stern Gang. Read through chronologies of events from the creation of the Hagana in 1940 to 1946, when some say he joined, through the terrorist activities of mid 1947 when he says he joined the underground. I found numerous conflicting, detailed historical accounts of the massacre at Dier Yassin and 2 other Palestinian massacres I never heard of before, plus I learned a lot more about all the Arab attacks on the Jewish settlers. I haven't even got to Etzioni's education under Buber starting in 1950.
Along the way I stumbled on Christopher Bollyn http://www.bollyn.info/home/articles/middleeast/.
He asks what it means to the U.S. to have so many "former" Hagana soldiers and the sons and daughter of Irgun terrorists in such highly significant political places. He doesn't appear to have anything on Etzioni (or communitaianism), but his research on the Israeli connection to 9/11 opened my eyes to a whole other aspect to Etzioni's ties to the Mossad and Israeli intelligence services.
Etzioni has other ties too. He's written a lot about the "need" to build more moral communities and how people need to share more of their time and efforts:
""We" as a noun is used much more than "I" by the young sabras. But "always we" is not a slogan of their conformity for conformity's sake. It is taken from the hymn of the underground commando units (the Palmach). The entire line reads: "To orders--always we"; meaning, we are always ready to obey the orders of the nation. Riesman shows how the nouns of an ethos of production are replaced by the neutrality of abundance. The background in Israel is different. Therefore the norms around which conformity is crystalized are different. They are mainly: service to the collective goals of the nation, often at the expense of individual goals and individuality." AE, "The 'Sabra' in Israeli Literature," with Eva Etzioni, Jewish Frontier (October 1958), pp. 16-19., http://www.gwu.edu/~ccps/etzioni/E1.html
So then I went back and looked up the Maping and Mobilizing Community Assets program.
"John 'Jody' Kretzmann, co-director of the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) Institute, was the keynote speaker for this year’s conference. ABCD is a research project of the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University working with community building leaders across North America as well as five other continents to conduct research, produce materials, and support community-based efforts to rediscover local capacities and to mobilize citizens’ resources to solve problems. Focusing on organizing the community based upon its strengths and assets is a guiding principle of the NORC supportive service paradigm and led to a fruitful presentation and discussion on common themes, practices, goals, and aspirations." http://www.ujc.org/page.aspx?id=93158
I didn't realize Michele Obama worked for them too.
"And then she started working for Public Allies, which was an organization really that had just recently started. And it was informed by the policies of a guy named Jody Kretzmann and John McKnight, who—I’ve been working with Jody for a long time, and he is an excellent community activist with a theoretical bent that focuses on assets. He goes to communities, and rather than look at the deficits of the community, he maps out the assets—him and John McKnight, their program that they started at Northwestern University. They map out the assets of the community and find ways to strengthen and embolden and reinforce those assets.
"And so, they hired Michelle. She became one of the first—I think the first executive director of Public Allies. And they do a magnificent job in hooking in promising college students into nonprofit organizations that are community-oriented and then—you know, and empowering work—attempting to empower parts of the community. And she really excelled there. A lot of people couldn’t understand why she would bring all those credentials, Harvard and Princeton, to such a lowly or community-oriented group, when she had such potential to make a lot of money in the corporate structure. And she really performed well at Public Allies." http://www.democracynow.org/2008/8/26/michelle_obama_delivers_keynote_address_on
The Obama Victory, Asset-Based Development and the Re-Politicization of Community Organizing, By Susan B. Hyatt
"Abstract: In this commentary, I argue that Obama’s victory in the recent Democratic primary was largely a consequence of his early experiences as an Alinsky-style community organizer in Chicago. I compare the nature of the broad-based organizing that Obama was trained in to a newer model of “community building” called Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD). ABCD promotes the belief that communities suffering the effects of economic restructuring, such as abandoned housing, crime, and deindustrialization among others, can “heal themselves” by looking within for resources—or “assets”—rather than by making demands on the state, a stance its proponents stigmatize as evidence of a “client” mentality. I argue that however chimerical its promises of redemption are, ABCD illustrates an important shift in
contemporary understandings of citizenship, away from the possibilities for collective action that characterize Alinsky-style organizing and toward a view that is both radically neoliberal and potentially totalitarian in its homogenizing notions of its two key concepts—“community” and “assets.” I suggest that the grassroots nature of the Obama campaign may have the potential to reanimate an interest in broad-based organizing toward the end of creating a more just distribution of resources.

Here's how it all goes global:
Asset Based Community Development - National Train the Trainer Courses
http://www.bankofideas.com.au/Newsletter/Newsletter_0806.htm
A unique opportunity exists for 30 people with an interest in asset based community development.
Led by Jody Kretzmann and two of his colleagues (Mary Nelson from Bethel Green Project) and Jim Diers, Department of Neighborhoods, Seattle), the courses will be run in:
* Sydney (30 November - 1 December, 2006)
* Melbourne (5 - 6 December, 2006)
For more information on the Melbourne event contact Peter Palmer - pp@bankofideas.com.au,and for the Sydney event Judi Geggie - Judi.Geggie@newcastle.edu.au.
So Jim Diers is a colleague of Kretzman's now, eh? He was the ONLY Seattle city employee who NEVER responded to my Public Disclosure Requests for documents. The Seattle Department of Neighborhoods was the lead organization gathering our personal data for the COMPASS program. Diers helped create the "new" city department after a short career as a "community activist" on Capitol Hill.
Who IS Jody Kretzman? I met him in 2000 when he gave an ABCD presentation to Seattle Neighborhood "leaders." He denied being a communitarian and denied any association with them. He lied. His co-founder of ABCD signed the Communitarian Platform. I wrote about my meeting him in our book, 2020, but not about how much he seemed like a military man. He's very tall and fit, and he was super polite and friendly when I was asking my questions in front of the group. He also tried to tell me the community maps were not "real" maps. He was less than friendly when I approached him afterwards and tried to buy a copy of his ABCD workbook. He actually said no, which was kind of a relief since I was really too poor to blow the cash, but then I realized he HAD to be lying when he said he had no copies with him. I mustered all the courage I could find in me and told him flat out, "I'm on to you guys." (Constance told me the other day she had experience with community asset building in Chicago in the 1960s, and from this vita on Jody I see he was there doing his thing way back when..uh huh.)
