To the Editor
Ignorance is Bliss!
When it comes to zoning requirements, have you ever wondered who is pushing for all of this control?
I would suggest you study up on Agenda 21 & Agenda 30, as well as the World Wildlife Fund, etc.
Obviously, some one wants us all out of here - badly.  Why?  Consider the resources here & the monetary value thereof.
Here's roughly how it works, in a nutshell:
You go to your bank & apply for a loan/mortgage.  If you "qualify", the bank transfers credits, not money, to your account.  You sign, & give to the bank, a promissory note for the loan amount, which the bank enters into it's system as an asset.  Now, to this point, nothing of intrinsic value has been exchanged.  You gave the bank a paper note, & the bank gave you credits.  Now what is the "asset" in a promissory note?  It is your future labor and productivity. So far, the bank has risked nothing. Nada.  Zero.
But, they insist that you carry full value insurance on the items covered by the loan, so that, in the event of a setback, their "loss is covered.
Remember, most insurance companies are affiliates of the major banking houses.  So, your signature created the "loan", the bank granted you valueless credits, and you pay their affiliate company to protect them against "losses".  Are you starting to get the picture?
Now, should you default, the bank may foreclose, or re-possess said properties, which do have intrinsic, or real value.  Or, in the event of another setback, the bank is covered by the insurance you paid for.  Sweet deal huh?
So, the name of the game is to use financial means (jobs, pricing, availability of commodities, etc.), taxation, & regulation to control the populace.  Which, in our case, will be to herd everyone into urban areas, in a stack 'em & pack 'em environment.
Are you really ready for this?

Redneck Review!
No. 216 - 6/17/2019
Review time!  And a time to choose!  The time for each of us to decide which is the type of government we want to live under!  Which of the three recently discussed offers us the best chance to keep and preserve the system which was established in our country during its founding days, and which of the three has been responsible for our amazing standard of living and the most personal freedom the world has ever known!
In summary, it was boldly stated two weeks ago, in Review 214,  that there have been only three different kinds of government since the very beginning.  The most common can simply be represented as: Government --> People (G-->P). The "G" here usually involved a dictator, a single individual who in some way, by heredity or by force, had total control. It also would include those historical cases where a small group, ruling absolutely, held all the power. The power to pass laws, to enforce the laws, and to judge any dispute which arose over the meaning of any law. The history of nations is filled with this type of government!
The second kind of government was given to us by ancient Athens in Greece, known in history as DEMOCRACY.  And everyone knows, the choice of most of the so-called modern world!  And definitely the system urged on less developed countries,  by the more advanced!  Also the type which has gathered the most momentum in our country today. That is accurately  represented by:  People-->Government   (P-->G).
This system is the one most feared by our Founding Fathers, who bluntly issued all kinds of warnings which we gave examples of back in Review   #209.  Essentially, those warnings claimed that a DEMOCRACY of this kind,  P-->G, was nothing more than "Mob Rule," where a simple majority of ONE, could force any law or rule on the minority, a minority who had no recourse because of the system itself.  And the scary thing today, is that a growing number of politicians, and an equally growing number of young millennials seem to be caught up in this type of system.  One can almost safely say that the 2020 presidential election will see a face off of the surviving candidate representing this idea against a more conservative one who is more representative of the past!
Of the two remaining systems of government found most often in history, the more common one will look like:  God-->Gov-->People, known historically as a "Divine Right" arrangement, which easily is  found in early England, and historically in older civilizations like China, India, or other ancient countries.  The heart of this system was simply this, that the government, or the ruler in this case, was held in check more or less by the belief in a supreme being, or a "god" of some kind or another.  Hence, the party in control COULD NOT ACT simply as he or she at the time might have wanted to!
But another  remaining structure exists, which as  agreed historically, was the unique invention of our founding fathers!  Called at one time a REPUBLIC, though in recent decades if not even centuries, the definition has been blurred to mean not more than DEMOCRACY!  (See Review #213). This unique system, clearly traced back to our Founding Fathers, can best be illustrated by:  God-->People-->Gov. It is bluntly claimed here, that this unique structure is responsible for the amazing record of freedom and prosperity which has come to identify America!
So the choice is yours and mine!  Will we repeat the disastrous times in the past, when a simple P-->Gov  (Democracy), was established lacking the solidity, order, and brotherly love which was an integral part of our unique system, America's REPUBLIC:  God-->P-->Gov?  Time will tell!
