Homeland Security Says it can strip search you.
The Department of Homeland Security told a federal court that the agency believes it has the legal authority to strip search every air traveler. The agency made the claim at oral argument in EPIC’s lawsuit to suspend the airport body scanner program. The agency also stated that it believed a mandatory strip search rule could be instituted without any public comment or rule making.
That’s a strange attitude if you ask me. I seem to recall something in the US Constitution that would prohibit that.
The Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Another Import From China: The Stink Bug
Well, it seems our farmers are not too happy about a recent import from China and the far east.
Family Fined for Noisy Toddler
One family in Dallas, TX is finding out what sustainable living is like. They are living in a condo and they have a Home Owners Association. A Home Owners Association is one of many ways property rights are collectivized. Apparently, his neighbors have a right to gang up on his family because his toddler is too loud. As a father of four, I can tell you from first-hand experience that kids can be loud. If he was living in a less “sustainable” way he would not have this problem and neither would his neighbors. His $1600 fine was reduced to $250. Wow. Dallas is a member of ICLEI.

Regional Police: Police Mergers are the Trend
Regionalization of Police
What follows is in no way a comprehensive list of local law enforcement merger talks across the country. Some of the proposals may indeed make sense under certain circumstances. The fact that this trend is so popular nation-wide and very little discussion of this trend appears in the national media causes me to wonder if there is organization behind this. Most professionals at the local level are involved in multiple professional organizations. Some of these organizations are national in scope. One has to wonder if any of these organizations that are national in scope are infecting budget strapped communities into entertaining this concept.
The great advantage of local police departments is that officers who wield a considerable amount of force are neighbors of those whom they serve. This neighbor relationship acts to sooth tempers and intimate knowledge of the individuals involved in potential calls helps an officer put all the issues into perspective. Officers will be less likely to act rashly within their own community.
Regionalization of police can drive a wedge into that relationship. The bigger the force the less likely the neighbor relationship exists. Officers will become strangers to those they serve. Now, budget issues are real concerns and policing can be a big chunk of that budget, but communities should think thrice before taking this step. Surely, there are other less critical services which can be looked at. There are also ways to raise revenue by eliminating obstacles to economic prosperity. Perhaps a critical look at local planning regulations is in order. If a small community cannot keep its budget in check, I fail to see how growing the size of the budget through regionalization can lead to anything other than larger problems and less control. Let’s take a look at what is happening here in Pennsylvania and then some snippets from other states follow: Read the rest of this entry »
Agenda 21: Liberty vs Sustainability
[This is a follow-up to my previous Agenda 21 post]
Agenda 21 is a truly radical attempt to undermine all foundational principles by which we seek to live our lives. It is a propaganda mechanism. It seeks to convince good people to reorient their lives. It is being implemented in a classic pincer-style fashion where International organizations at the top fashion policy while Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) at the bottom pressure local leaders to take up the cause. Meanwhile, The policies filter down thru the federal, state and county governments in the form of policy directives, regulatory fiat and town enticing grants.
To illustrate how this “Fundamental Change” is altering our way of life I enclose a brief matrix. The items on the left are the foundational principles of the American Republic. The items on the right are the foundational substitutes of the new global society. It is important to understand that the items on the right are promulgated to our youth as a part of our national education program. This program is now instituting ESD or “Education for Sustainable Development”.
The Education for Sustainable Development Toolkit is based on the idea that communities and educational systems within communities need to dovetail their sustainability efforts. As communities develop sustainability goals, local educational systems can modify existing curriculums to reinforce those goals. — ESD Toolkit Version 2.0 (Author’s Note)
Opposing Values Matrix
We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed… — Declaration of Independence
Principles of the Declaration | Principles of Education for “Sustainability”. |
|
|
Implementation: The United States Constitution- Elected Representation | Implementation: The United Nations Charter- Appointed Representation |
Here is a truly astounding admission that our educational system has a stake in “dumbing down” our children.
Generally, more highly educated people, who have higher incomes, consume more resources than poorly educated people, who tend to have lower incomes. In this case, more education increases the threat to sustainability.
The ESD Toolkit version 2.0: See the Introduction subheading – Education: Promise and Paradox
How can I be certain that this curriculum is now in place throughout this nation? The US Partnership For Education For Sustainability tells us so. http://usp.umfglobal.org/main/view_archive/1
September 21, 2010 – Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan gives keynote address at Sustainability Education Summit – “Today, I promise you that [the Department of Education] will be a committed partner in the national effort to build a more environmentally literate and responsible society… We must advance the sustainability movement through education… Education and sustainability are the keys to our economic future-and our ecological future… We are proud to be… joining you in this work, and hopeful about the impact we will make together. Click here for full text of speech
So you see, our educational system is now oriented towards sustainability. The problem is that sustainability is based on the concept that wealth is limited and needs to be shared. As a nation we have approximately 5% of our land mass classified as developed or in use. We have no shortage of resources. Liberty, private property and innovation is how we have provided for ourselves and our posterity. We have done a remarkable job of it too. We have done a far better job of providing for succeeding generations than any socialist system could dream of doing.
We no longer test for knowledge but rather we assess our children’s values as if they were a house or some other resource. Do our children exhibit the predetermined values our educators seek to instill? You bet they do. We need to wrest education from the state. If we stop the implementation of “sustainability” without fixing the education problem we will see all our efforts erased by a future generation.

Agenda 21: The UN is not your Freind
It seems the United Nations has been able to attract members from the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to join its International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives. ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability USA is a UN sponsored Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) whose main objective is to entice local governments to implement United Nations strategy, agenda, and initiatives and to create grass-roots pressure upon the County, State and Federal government to adopt these measures.
If your local government is a member of ICLEI, they are partnering directly or indirectly with other local governments the world-over to transform our very way of life into a United Nations vision of “Sustainable” living. Now there’s a lot of propaganda out there that sells these concepts. The eco-freindly terms “sustainability”, “Biodiversity”, “Multi-Stakeholder partnerships”, “Smart growth”, “comprehensive planning”, “growth management”, etc are designed to disarm and mislead local leaders. Chances are your local leaders look at this group as an aid to formulating 21st century local planning. They have no idea how deep they are in it. Unfortunately, the threat is very real. You see the United Nations knows that their Agenda 21 is so radical that they could never implement it from the top down. They have to convince local leaders that they are implementing a policy that is local in scope and benign to its citizens. The thrust of Agenda 21 is to transform traditional individual property rights into collective property rights. Through regulations, Agenda 21 seeks to develop communities that are “sustainable” on their terms. The rights of the individual are of no concern. Agenda 21 is based upon the premise that government planning should replace the western understanding of private stewardship. Carroll County Maryland agrees with this assessment. Read their Press Release here: Fighting 59th Terminates ICLEI Membership
There are also Constitutional concerns. Local governments cannot bypass the Congress of the United States and establish partnerships that are global in scope. The federal government has authority to set foreign policy. All elected local officials swear to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.
United States Constitution: Article 1 Section 10
paragraph 1. No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility.
paragraph 3. No state shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops, or ships of war in time of peace, enter into any agreement or compact with another state, or with a foreign power, or engage in a war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.
ICLEI uses the population of the localities and the income level of its citizens to price their membership and they include those population totals when they boast of their membership totals. So essentially, if your local government is a member, they used your tax dollars (minimal amount) to achieve membership for yourself. You may be a member and not even know it !
Lets take a look at the Pennsylvania ICLEI delegation (hyperlinks obtained on ICLEI membership list except Forest Hills):

Cheap Oil Everywhere
Americans need to understand that the world’s oil supply is not in limited supply. The lie is found in the term “fossil fuels”. Oil and gas are not the result of decaying wildlife and prehistoric animals. Rather, oil and gas are the result of natural geological processes within the earth. Have you ever considered if it is physically possible for the remains of animals and plant-life to be drawn by gravity to the depths necessary for our oil supplies to have been originated in this fashion? Many of these wells are far deeper than you might imagine. Furthermore, international oil corporations are funding the green movement. One might ask, “Why would oil producers support the green agenda?”. The reason is simple. The green agenda perpetuates the myth that our world’s oil supply is limited. It allows oil companies to hide behind this myth and gives them a pretense to charge prices based on artificial scarcity. Without this dynamic, profits for oil would suffer and the ability to manage the world’s oil under a limited cartel (OPEC) would become nearly impossible.
More importantly, these myths are used to justify the sacrifice of the lives of our children on Middle East sand dunes. Please do your homework and spread this message. The lives of our children and your standard of living are at stake. The “On Topic” link below shows recent scientific revelations which support the idea of abiotic oil. It includes the research work done by Vladimir Kutcherov, Anton Kolesnikov, and Alexander Goncharov which was recently published in the scientific journal Nature Geoscience.

Save Baby Joseph

The Canadian Government Wants to Ration Care and Kill Baby Joseph
There’s an 18-month-old baby boy in Canada who is about to be put to death by the Canadian government. Help Priests For Life save this baby’s life if possible. Here’s the situation … The baby, who is known as Baby Joseph, is suffering from a critical condition that requires him to have a breathing tube in order to stay alive
Read the Full Story: http://www.priestsforlife.org/alert/index1.aspx?id=11
Send the Canadian Gov’t a Message: click here
We should all keep this issue in mind as we consider defunding and repealing ObamaCare here in the United States.
UPDATE: http://www.canada.com/life/Baby+Joseph+transferred+hospital/4435461/story.html
Baby Joseph was transferred to the U.S. Priests for life have picked up the medical and transportation costs. Looks like a tracheotomy will be performed to allow this child to breath and unless he can be diagnosed and cured he will be cared for in a U. S. nursing facility and nature will take its course.
