IN  THIS  ISSUE

1.  A take over of Democracy.

~~~

"VOTE  AN  EDUCATED  VOTE"

What is an educated vote?  It is one that has been made with as much knowledge, based on facts, not misinformation, that an individual can obtain.

UNBELIEVABLE - TO IMPORTANT TO WAIT.

On April 29, 2011, I posted a SPECIAL.  It was posting OBOF & SS PART 7A.  IT WAS THE MOST SHOCKING POSTING I HAVE WRITTEN.  SINCE THEN, I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANOTHER WORD ABOUT IT UNTIL TONIGHT DECEMBER 8, 2011.  I am going to put part of posting 7A next, as every word applies right now.  I have wondered, since April 27, 2011, what more has ever happened as I have never heard another word about this, until tonight December 8, 2011.  After the material that I posted on April 29, 2011, I will add the latest development that was reported tonight.

IS  It  A  CONSPIRACY

OR

WHAT?

I have never been one to think much about Conspiracies.  Maybe, I should be a little more diplomatic.  How about, "Well Orchestrated  Agenda?"  Believe me, that is really giving them the benefit of the doubt.  The following is going to be shocking.  It was to me.  I obtained the facts about this action from the Rachel Maddow show, MSNBC on 4-28-11.  To support her facts, she interviewed the Mayor of Lansing, Mich. Mr. Virg Bernero.  He commended Rachel for being "one of the first, if not the first" to shed light on this latest action by the Governor of Michigan.  

                   (Rachel was the first and only one to report

                   anything about this until December 8, 2011

                   when Ed Schultz on the Ed Show and Rachel

                   both reported on it and its expansion.  I had

                   thought that someone had gotten to them and

                   shut them up.  I am happy to hear that that has

                   not happened.)

                   (Now, couple everything in this posting with

                   what I posted in #25, which was the last

                   one until now, and you will begin to see

                   that we really have a serious problem and

                   I do think it is a conspiracy.)

Rachel reported, that the Governor has said "Democracy is in the way of making things more efficient in Michigan."  According to Rachel, he further said "Democracy is not the way we fix things in America."  Can you believe that?  It's next door to the unbelievable.

The Republican agenda is leading America down a path that is very hard to believe.  They say that the Democratic Progressive agenda is leading us to Socialism.   Folks, what is happening, particularly in Wisconsin and Michigan, is factually taking us down a path that, oh how I hate to say this, but the facts are there, a path of Dictatorship.  YES, that is exactly what is happening. 

Now I am fully aware of how strong that statement is, but look at Michigan.  In the name of deficit reduction, they passed legislation that permits the Governor to take over a city, if he determines it is in financial trouble.  He can take over the city and appoint one person to do whatever he determines is necessary.  They have already and are getting ready to do some more, complete take over of an entire city.  The people have nothing to say about it.  

They send in one man that is in charge of all city functions.   He can close a school and he has already removed all the elected officials.  What's next?  Do you begin to wonder if somebody is going to knock at your door in the middle of the night and haul you off to the poky and ask you a lot of things they may think you have done that they don't want done.

Now, it's not quite that bad YET, but the part of actually taking over a city is happening right now.  WE'VE GOT A LOT MORE TO WORRY ABOUT THAN SOCIALISM.  

We never before have heard such radical rhetoric that has now turned into radical action.  FOLKS!  THIS IS DANGEROUS!  Now, if you disagree with me, please let me know.  If you don't disagree, also let me know.  Do it either, as comments at the end of this posting or e-mail me.  I will guarantee and promise you that I will not give your e-mail address to anyone.  My e-mail is fab_80@cox.net The computer automatically places a line under the entire e-mail address.  Therefore, I want to point out that there is to be an under score between "fab" and before "80".  Our way of life, in this country, is being threatened.  This past week, I have heard no less than four respected authors and analysts, actually refer to the fact that our democracy is being attacked.

The absolutely unbelievable is actually happening.  It isn't just being talked about, it is happening right now in Benton Harbor, Michigan.  DICTATORSHIP IS NOW ENFORCE IN BENTON HARBOR.  I am so nervous, about all this, I can hardly write.  The man that has been appointed by Governor Snyder was caught on tape saying how great it is to have this kind of power.  He has dismissed all of the elected officials.  He has complete control of  Benton Harbor. 

The Governor has designated 23 other communities in Michigan that are now scheduled to be taken over by him and his appointed director.  This is the way HITLER got started.  This Director, appointed by the Governor, is acting just like the head of the Gestapo under Hitler. 

I imagine that the greater percent of you reading this are not aware of the world under rule by Hitler.  I was in the Marine Corps during World War II and while I wasn't personally in Europe, when Hitler took over, I am very well aware of what happened, AS IT WAS HAPPENING.  I did have a first hand report from my Brother-In-Law, who was there. If you protested in Hitler's time you only did it once and you would be gone forever.

If you fought back in any way and you were found out, you would get a knock on your door in the middle of the night and be hauled off, more than likely, not to be seen again.  YOU DON'T THINK THAT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE?  DON'T BE TO SURE.  THE ONLY WAY IS FOR US, YOU AND I AND EVERYONE WHO CARES ABOUT OUR BELOVED COUNTRY AND DEMOCRACY, WITH ALL IT'S FAULTS, TO LET IT BE KNOWN THAT THIS HAS TO STOP.

 Now I don't want to be an alarmist, but I guess I am.  I know what happened back then and what it cost even the United States, to keep it from happening worldwide.  You may ask, What can I do about it?  There is plenty you can do.  Talk to your friends who will probably say "Oh that can't happen here."  That's exactly what was said in Germany back in 1937, but it did.

Tell them that it not only can happen here, IT IS HAPPENING HERE.  You can call your legislators and tell them what you have heard is happening in Benton Harbor, Michigan or write to them and tell them.     

                THIS HAS TO STOP

DEVELOPMENTS  REPORTED  ON  12-8-11

This evening, both Ed Schultz of the Ed Show on MSNBC and Rachel Maddow of the Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC, weighted into the State takeover of financially troubled cities in Michigan. 

Benton Harbor was the first to be taken over back in April of this year.  Since the takeover, all city elected officials have been removed from office.  The City Manager has been removed as well as the Finance Director.  The Emergency Manager is Mr. Joseph Harris.  He is Mr. Benton Harbor with authority to do anything he, alone, decides is needed. 

Currently, there are four other cities under review with the strong probability of being taken over.  Three of them are Flint, Pontiac, and Detroit.  I wasn't able to get the name of the fourth. 

Ed Schultz is of the opinion that this is racially motivated, as well as Union busting.  He says "If Michigan gets by with this guess what is next."

Rachel reported that in Detroit, it is being referred to as "Financial Marshall Law."  In Flint, last week, the Emergency Manager there cancelled all Council meetings and decided to stop paying all the nine council members and the mayor.  By the way, the Emergency Manager is paid $180,000 a year.

In Pontiac, they got their Emergency Manager in September.  His name is Louis Schimmel.  On a radio interview, he said "I don't know Frank, what you would do in a place like Pontiac. Flint, Detroit, and so on, cities of that nature, if you didn't have a Public Act 4.

WJR-AM HOST:  Well, its being portrayed as an act that takes the election, the right to a ballot, away from the people, that it takes power away from elected officials, and hands it over to a tyrant, if you will, a dictator.  How is that wrong?  Where do people get it wrong?

Schimmel:  Well, I don't know.  I guess, I guess I'm the tyrant' in Pontiac then, if that's the way it is.

In this case, at least, the Emergency Manager is from Pontiac, so maybe that will help a little bit.

Near the end of Rachel's reporting on this matter, she shows a chart that allows me to get the name of that fourth city under review and also a fifth.  They are Ecorse, Michigan and Inkster, Michigan. 

The chart lists six cities that either have an Emergency Manager or is under review.  It shows the population of each and the percent of African American in each.  This information is from the U. S. Census Bureau.

Benton Harbor, 10,038, 89.2%.  Detroit 713,777, 82.7%.  Ecorse 9,512, 46.4%.  Flint 102,434, 56.6%.  inkster 25,369, 73.2%.  Pontiac 59,515, 52.1%.

Rachel and Ed, both, feel this is the most uncovered and important story in the country.  Apparently, there are some movements underway to get the Justice Dept. to look into Michigan's Act 4.  As more develops on this, I will try to keep you informed.  In my opinion, based on the facts I have listed, THIS IS CERTAINLY AN ATTACK ON DEMOCRACY.  COUPLE THIS WITH PART 25 AND YOU CAN REALLY SEE  IT'S ANOTHER STEP IN THE CONSPIRACY TO DO AWAY WITH DEMOCRACY AND OUR WAY OF LIFE.  ITS GOT TO STOP!!

If the good Lord is willing and the creek don't rise, I'll talk with you again on December 19, 2011, if not before.
