Using what you have to get ahead
-- James M Dakin
Ready to trade in your
car for a bike, or maybe a subway instead? Interested in fewer choices for your
home, paying more for housing, and being crammed into a denser neighborhood?
You can have all this and more if radical environmentalists and "smart
growth" advocates have their way and local, state, and the federal
government impose the policies set forth in the United Nations' Agenda 21.
You might have heard
of this nefarious-sounding policy in a recent Republican presidential debate, but even if you haven't, here's some background
information: Agenda 21 is a voluntary plan adopted at the 1992 United Nations
Conference on Environment and Development. It calls on governments to intervene
and regulate nearly every potential impact that human activity could have on
the environment. The end goal? Getting governments to "rethink economic
development and find ways to halt the destruction of irreplaceable natural
resources and pollution of the planet."But here's the catch: Nothing about Agenda 21 is binding, and it's not a threat in and of itself. Instead, the threat Americans need to be concerned about is the one that lies in their own backyard. In a new paper, "Focus on Agenda 21 Should Not Divert Attention from Homegrown Anti-Growth Policies," Wendell Cox, Ronald Utt, Brett Schaefer explain:

Solar Cooking and Water Purification
With a regulatory and
legal mess that has prevented the modernization of America's antique and
increasingly prone-to-failure power grid, you are increasingly exposed to the
potential for electricity outages. One critical step to being prepared for an
emergency is making sure you have enough fuel on hand to cook your food, keep
yourself warm, and get around.
The easiest model of
solar oven to build is a simple box oven. You'll need some pieces of plywood, a
piece of window glass, cardboard scraps, a hammer and nails, aluminum foil,
glue, black paint, and duct tape. Begin by framing your box. You can make your
box any size you wish, but keep in mind that a larger box will not get as hot
as fast and will be less efficient at retaining heat. On the other hand, the
box must be big enough to accommodate a cooking pot. Read the rest of the article here:

Using What You
Have
That's the name of a
website subscriber Steve created around the concept of creative living and
making the best of what you have. Every page starts with "I have..."
and lists some creative things to do with that thing that you have, whether it
is a thousand dollars, a good voice, a bicycle or any of the other dozens of
things covered.

For this
household tip to work with modern soap, you must first remove the bars of soap
from their wrappers and allow them to dry out. Not only do the dry bars last
longer, but they leave less of a soap residue in the soap dish. This tip works!

Governments collect their own data and rely on data collected by private entities to monitor and track individuals, regardless of whether or not there is probable cause to believe they have committed a crime. Learn how they do this and how to minimize your own dossier.

In Michigan anti-sex news: The state's pending "Hot for
Teacher" bill could end up criminalizing sex between consenting adults of
legal age. That's enough to win this month's Nanny of the Month award.

15 Signs America
is Becoming a Police State
A police state
is one in which the government exercises rigid and repressive controls over the
social, economic and political life of the population. A police state typically exhibits elements of totalitarianism and social control, and there is usually little or no distinction
between the law and the exercise of political power by the executive.
The inhabitants of a
police state experience restrictions on their mobility, and on their freedom to
express or communicate political or other views, which are subject to police
monitoring or enforcement
An electronic police state is one in which the government aggressively uses
electronic technologies to record, organize, search and distribute forensic
evidence against its citizens.

Just consider
this recent TSA case… It's not
unusual for 17-year-old to find themselves in hot water with the fashion
police. But on a flight from Virginia to Florida, Vanessa Gibbs found herself detained by the
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) over the appearance of her purse.
And just to be clear, it wasn't the content inside the
purse that the TSA objected to. No, agency officials took exception with the
design of a gun on Gibbs' handbag.
The rest of the world is laughing at us. America is
rapidly turning into a totalitarian police state and we have become a global
joke. You won't find any other country on earth where senior citizens are being
strip-searched and sexually molested before they are allowed to get on to their
flights.
All of this is
taking place now…in the ‘land of the free.’
#3) Barack Obama is
backing a plan to create a national database to store the DNA of people who have been arrested but not necessarily
convicted of a crime.
#4) Just to get on an
airplane, Americans will now have to go through new full-body scanners that reveal every detail of our exposed
bodies to airport security
officials.
#5) If that wasn't bad
enough, the Transportation Security Administration has announced that airport
screeners will begin roving through airports randomly taking chemical swabs from
passengers and their bags to check for
explosives.
#6) Starting in
December, some passengers on Canadian airlines flying to, from or even over the
United States without ever landing there, will only be allowed to board their
flights once the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security has determined they are not terrorists.
#7) Organic milk is
such a threat that the FDA has been conducting military style raids on Amish farmers in Pennsylvania.
#8) An NYPD officer
has broken his silence and has confessed that innocent citizens are being set
up and falsely arrested and ticketed in order to meet quotas.
#9) A growing number
of police departments across the U.S. are turning to mobile camera systems in order to fight motor vehicle theft and identify
unregistered cars.
#10) For decades,
Arizona has been known as "the sunset state", but lately many
frustrated residents have started calling it "the surveillance state".
#11) Judges and police
in Florida have been caught using "secret codes" on tickets in the state of Florida.
#12) An extensive
investigation has revealed that between 2003 and 2007, that state of Texas
quietly gave hundreds of newborn baby blood samples to a U.S. Armed Forces laboratory for use in a
forensics database.
#13) A 6-year-old girl
was recently handcuffed and sent to a
mental facility after
throwing temper tantrums at her elementary school.
#14) One 12-year-old
girl in New York was recently arrested and marched out of her school in
handcuffs just because she doodled on her desk.
#15) When a mother on
a flight to Denver spanked both of her children and cussed out a flight
attendant who tried to intervene, she suddenly found herself handcuffed and
headed for prison. Why? She was charged with being a domestic terrorist under the Patriot Act.
