Benjamin Fulford vs. David Rockefeller Sr.

CONSPIRACY THEORISTS: Don't believe a word of this nutcase and whatever you do, don't ever google him, the journalist Benjamin Fulford. More importantly don't do an internet search for his most recent interviews in November and December of 2008.

ENGLAND: " I Love My Country, But Fear My Government"

"They marched in protest. A silent procession of a people grasping for one last chance to resist. Shamefully admitting they only have themselves to blame for government policies that threaten their way of life, their security, and the future of democracy in Britain."

Senator Delph tells Indiana Legislature...We want our caps or we want our sales tax money back!

Hat tip to Frugal Hoosiers!!!

Whoa! Senator Mike Delph didn't forget that we got socked with a sales tax hike of 17% to offset the property tax caps ? Well, what happens if we don't get those promised caps and Pat Bauer gets his way? Senator Delph wants to make sure we get our sales tax money back. (I like Senator Delph more every day!)

He introduced SB 243 to make sure the people don't get ripped off! Here's the skinny of the bill from Frugal Hoosiers blog:
"Quite simply, this bill requires a return to a 6% sales tax if the General Assembly does not successfully work to put the property tax caps in the constitution. Doing so requires a resolution to pass in two, separately elected, General Assemblies, and passage on the general election ballot. In other words, if the property tax caps that passed in 2008 in exchange for the increase in the sales tax aren't put in the constitution, you get your money back."

Did Bob Grand of Barnes & Thornburg snooker our Mayor?

DID THE MAYOR SELL US OUT FOR A $5,000 FUNDRAISER?

I'm a fan of the Mayor. I honestly don't believe the man has a bad bone in his body. However, I'm not so sure about his street smarts and I don't think he understood the slime that encased him as soon as it was announced he was elected.

Ogden on Politics is reporting that Mayor Ballard signed an EXCLUSIVE contract with Barnes & Thornburg to run his transition and signed power to these legal rats to establish his executive offices.

I do know shortly after the Mayor's election (delivered to him by THE PEOPLE) he went to New Albany to meet President Bush who was speaking there. Guess who was in the car with Ballard the whole way? Joe Loftus and Bob Grand of Barnes & Thornburg...that's who! I was told that they were in his ear the whole trip.

Shortly after the mayor was sworn in, he appointed (annointed?) Bob Grand to serve as President of the Capital Improvement Board which doles out millions and millions of OUR money! More than $12 million alone goes to the Arts Council. In comparison, the city's budget for the council is a paltry $1.5 million, recently cut to $1 million.

The CIB also recently agreed to dole out an additional off budget $150,000 at the request of Susan Williams to the Indiana Sports Corporation. You might recall that Susan Williams stole the Pan Am Plaza from the people when the building sold recently.

Ogden is so convinced that the mayor signed over power to organize the transition to these self-serving lawyers at B&T, that he requested to see the contract Ballard signed with Barnes & Thornburg. The mayor has 7 days to respond.

Curiously in one week is the Mayor's Annual Luau at the State Fair Grounds. If you didn't get an invite, you are invited...everyone is. It's at the Pavillion at the Speedway from 1pm to 4pm on Saturday, January 24th. Let's make sure there is a big table of activists there who got him elected. It's time he heard from us again as a big group. It's been a year.

James Mervilde, Washington Township's Superindendent (salary + perks = $250k) takes San Diego junket?

UPDATE: We were just notified today that it was MSDWT Board President Don Kite who instigated this vacation in San Diego using scares MSDWT dollars.

We wrote about James Mervilde and his fat paycheck back in October 2008. Evidently someone at Washington Township is irritated enough that they looked up past postings about him and left this comment. In fact, two different comments were left this week on that old post. If you know anything...feel free to tattle. During the Governor's State of the State address, I couldn't help but think of Mervilde as school administration costs were mentioned. We spend somewhere around $11,000 per student each year now. The comment below sounds like it is from a teacher (making many times less than Mervilde) who is undoubtedlyl too afraid of retribution to go anywhere but a blog and post. Gannett's Indy Star won't likely dig deep.

HERE IS THE ANONYMOUS COMMENT OF NOTE LEFT THIS WEEK:

Anonymous said...

The media needs to take some time to expose why the Washington Township Board and Mervilde made a decision to go San Diego for a "conference" for several days. I am not sure if Mervilde's right-hand man (Hibbard) is going on the trip. During a time when funding is becoming more and more scare for education, why are they spending a lot of money to venture to San Diego? I am sure that they will come up with some self-serving reason for spending the money for this trip. Mervilde and Hibbart are very good at not answering parent's questions and they are certainly darn good at not responding to teachers' emails nor including the teachers in any decision within the district. The board must get rid of these two clowns because Washington Township is certainly not what it use to be.

SB 453 WOULD PROVIDE FOR SOUND SILVER & GOLD BACKED MONEY IN INDIANA

1 troy ounce gold South African Krugerrand
Gold trades for as much as $1100+ an ounce on eBay
(in spite of the fact that the spot price for gold is under $900)

The current headline at LibertyFile.com is about an Indiana State Senator (Walker, district 41) who introduced legislation to provide for an Indiana based gold and/or silver currency. A cursory reading of the bill (SB 453) indicates that it may require state government to conduct business amongst itself using gold/silver backed currency and to provide options for citizens to conduct business with the government using the same, presumably including payment of tax bills.

Contact your Indiana state Senator to voice your support for this legislation.

Tell the State of Indiana that you will take your 2008 state tax refund in Krugerrands. That's what the top clients at Merrill Lynch are asking for these days in lieu of the U.S. paper dollar. And you can bet if Merrill Lynch is saying that gold is going to go up to $1150 an ounce, that's way low. Several analysts are predicting gold will go up to $1800 to $2500 an ounce before the end of 2009. Analysts predict silver to reach as much as $50 an ounce. I think $30 per ounce is more realistic this year.

CALIFORNIA MAY ISSUE I.O.U. INSTEAD OF TAX REFUNDS

THUG ALERT: Track crime in your Indianapolis neighborhood

Hat tip to Penny Bigelow for emailing us the link to track incidents of crime by specific address, neighborhood by neighborhood. You can type in your own address and track the crime in the surrounding areas. It's a nifty tool. BOOKMARK THE LINK: http://imaps.indygov.org/CVC/

There have been 632 incidents within 1 mile of my home in the last 90 days alone. No wonder the police are stretched thin. This is why folks need to take measures now to protect their property and families.

Ideas submitted to this blog for citizens to employ for self-defense/protection:
1. Shotgun for property protection
2. Guard dog
3. Stun gun to carry on person
4. Install motion dectectors
5. Install security lights
6. Install surveillance cameras
7. Install home and car alarms

If you have additional ideas, please tell us about them.

I'm not going to tell you what to think, but not all news services are going broke.

Long lines to enter Indy 1500 Gun & Knife Show

Thousands of Hoosiers buy guns, knives, and ammo

Thousands standing in the rain attended the gun and knife show at the fairgrounds. This line around the building was steady all day Saturday as visitors packed the show. Nearly every table was writing up gun sales, in spite of the $10.00 entry fee and $3.00 for parking.

Hat tip to Patriot Paul for the report and photo. I did not attend as planned due to a painful neck injury as a result of the 12/5/08 car accident caused by uninsured driver without a valid driver's license. I'm in for at least 3 months of chiropractic care because of it.

Ok, Which is it? ICE AGE or GLOBAL WARMING?

Wish they would make up their minds. Word is that we're experiencing the coldest climates right now since weather stats have been recorded. I don't buy this global warming business.

Thugs, crime, gun safety, & Gun Show this weekend

On January 5th, the rear window on my new station wagon was bashed in and thugs stole my temporary paper license plate. They like to steal temporary tags to use while committing crimes.

Yesterday I received an email that described several breaking and entering cases in Meridian Kessler. Two black men in a silver Pontiac/GM 2-door knock on a doors of nice houses, and if they think no one is home, they will kick in the door and rob the place. These two thugs have been reported on Washington Boulevard, Central Avenue, Park Avenue and Meridian Street.

Today I spoke to my insurance agent, Neil Barton, who told me he received four claims in the last week from his insureds victimized by these two thugs. Keep in mind, he's just one insurance agent. If you need insurance, take it from a customer who had four claims this year, he is highly recommended. Their number is 317-255-6256.

This weekend (January 9th, 10th, 11th) is the Indy 1500 Gun & Knife show at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. I'm going to buy my first gun.

I predict that as the economy worsens, crime is going to increase and our law enforcement officers will be stretched even more thin.

I believe the Mayor's office could make a huge dent in the crime statistics if he started a city-wide program for gun safety led and taught by volunteer cops. The city should issue press releases to invite the media to cover ordinary citizens (including the elderly and housewives) attending the classes taught by law enforcement professionals. We need to send a message to the thugs that we are armed and dangerous. The effort would also create another bridge between police officers and law abiding citizens. If this was publicized enough the thugs would think twice before breaking and entering, not knowing if there was a bitch on the other side of the door with a loaded gun and the law on her side.

Every time there is a crime in this city and there is a citizen who shoots the assailant, everyone cheers. We need fewer victims and more heroes in our city. THAT makes for a great news story. I just wish our Mayor had the kahunas to start such a program.

The cop who took the police report for my stolen license plate thought this was an excellent idea.

What do all of you think?

Did you look up in the sky yesterday?
