Sustainable development or

sustainable freedom?

Editor’s note: Listen to this column online.

.

Sustainable development is based on a set of principles found in Our Common Future -[the report of the 1987 World Commission on Environment and Development].

Sustainable freedom is based on a set of principles found in the Declaration of Independence, adopted by the Continental Congress July 4, 1776.

Sustainable development is based on this belief:

From space, we see a small and fragile ball dominated not by human activity and edifice but by a pattern of clouds, oceans, greenery, and soils. Humanity’s inability to fit its activities into that pattern is changing planetary systems, fundamentally. This new reality, from which there is no escape, must be recognized – and managed. (Chapter 4.1)

Sustainable freedom is based on this belief:

… 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. ….

Sustainable development is achieved when the recommendations contained in Agenda 21 are fully implemented.

Sustainable freedom is achieved when the U.S. Constitution is obeyed.

Sustainable development and sustainable freedom are mutually exclusive. Sustainable development produces a society managed by government to insure environmental protection, social equity and equal economic opportunity. Sustainable freedom produces a government managed by society to protect individual freedom, private property and the unalienable rights identified in the Declaration of Independence.

Sustainable development was endorsed by the United States in 1992, when President George H.W. Bush signed Agenda 21 at the U.N. Conference on Environment and Development. Sustainable Development came to the United States in 1993 when President Bill Clinton issued Executive Order 12852 which created the President’s Council on Sustainable Development.

Throughout the Clinton years, the PCSD gave millions of dollars to nonprofit organizations and to state and local governments to encourage the implementation of Agenda 21 at the state and local government levels. Nearly every community in the nation has now been the subject of a “visioning” process to create a “strategic plan” to achieve sustainable development.

With grants from the federal government (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the lead federal agency, the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration in the U.S. Department of Transportation, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Economic and Community Development Administration, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency), the American Planning Association produced “Growing Smart: Legislative Guidebook.” This publication provided three model statutes and two model executive orders states could adopt to convert the non-binding recommendations of Agenda 21 into state law.

Consequently, most states and local communities now have, or are in the process of creating, a county-wide plan to implement sustainable development. A common element in most of these communities is the complete ignorance of Agenda 21 and sustainable development among elected officials. In fact, when asked, elected officials frequently deny that their county’s activities are related to Agenda 21 at all. This ignorance about Agenda 21 is deliberate. Gary Lawrence, former director of the Center for Sustainable Communities at the University of Washington and chief planner for the city of Seattle told an audience in London:

In the case of the U.S., our local authorities are engaged in planning processes consistent with LA21 [Local Agenda 21], but there is little interest in using the LA21 brand. … So, we call our processes something else, such as comprehensive planning, growth management or smart growth.

In the United States, sustainable development is delivered to local communities in the form of a comprehensive land-use plan, with little or no mention of Agenda 21. Greenville County, S.C., recently updated its comprehensive land-use plan under the banner: “Imagine Greenville County; Tomorrow’s Vision Today.”  NOTE: Claremont is adopting it as the “CAROLINA THREAD PROJECT”.   Several elected officials insisted that the exercise had nothing to do with Agenda 21. A rather casual analysis of the plan, however, provides direct documentation that both the process and the outcome prescribed by Agenda 21 were achieved in the plan.

Likewise, the officials in Bradley County, Tenn., denied any relationship to Agenda 21 in the development of their “BCC-2035 Strategic Plan.” A review of the plan in relation to Chapter 7 of Agenda 21 reveals that the plan is essentially an extension of Agenda 21, modified by local names and places.

There is no doubt that sustainable development in the United States is a concept that arose from the United Nations with the clear purpose of managing societies around [the] world to achieve environmental protection, equal economic opportunity and social equity. The United States was founded on the principles of limited government, individual freedom, reward for individual achievement and free markets that produce maximum prosperity. Government is imposing sustainable development and its inevitable government management. Only an informed, involved and determined people can stop and reverse this erosion of freedom.

GAY DAYS (aka Catawba Pride) is coming back to Hickory…. scheduled for this fall.  Even the town of Newton hosted one last year!  Why have we been left out of the festivities?  GEE, we’re so envious.  Henry from HELLton is falling down on the job!  Why, we could have a big ol’ parade right down main street and three days of debauchery in the park…. ALL FOR FREE!

Let’s explore this idea:

First of all, we would have to apply for a grant…. it’s FREE MONEY, ya’ know.  The money could be used to paint homosexual icons on the side of the old hardware building.  That would be nice.  We could also color coordinate all of the buildings on main street.  Maybe with a dominating lavender theme.  And, of course, we would need to pass out FREE (paid for with grant money)  condoms in the spirit of STD prevention and Cialis.  (No need to worry about anybody getting pregnant)

Once the parade reaches the park (which nobody uses) the partying could begin.  But we can’t have a party without a little wine tasting, can we? (wine paid for with grant money)  And we should offer a little entertainment (paid for with grant money).  The un-used amphitheater (paid for with grant money) would rock to the sounds of Freddy and the Fudge-Packers while the revelers paired off and danced on the “lawn”.  The rest-room walls would provide space for the people to write their little descriptive messages and phone numbers with rainbow colored indelible markers  (paid for with grant money).

When partied out, the sodomites could unfold their double-wide sleeping bags (paid for with grant money), shuck their duds and have a good night’s rest…. All courtesy of FREE GRANT MONEY, Henry from HELLton…. and, of course, your town government.

So, what’s in it for Claremont?  Maybe you should ask that question of all the other wasteful and failed projects that our “rulers” have blown the taxpayer’s dollars on over the years…. and the list grows.

Nazis Tried To Train Dogs To

Read, Write, And Speak, New

Jan Bondeson Book Says

.

.

Hitler may be on the short list of despicable dictators most undeserving of a dog’s unconditional love, but that didn’t stop him from trying to talk them.

According to a new book titled “Amazing Dogs: A Cabinet of Canine Curiosities,” Nazi specialists attempted — apparently with some success — to train a fleet of “intelligent” dogs to read, write and speak.

The research comes from Cardiff University associate professor Dr. Jan Bondeson, who found that the Nazis collected pups from across Germany and put them through intense training during the 1930s at the Tier-Sprechschule ASRA (School for Dog-Human Communication) in the town of Leutenberg.

“The Nazis were sentimental enthusiasts who were really fond of animals and liked the idea that dogs were intelligent and could communicate with people,” Bondeson told AOL Weird news.

Under trainer Margarethe Schmitt’s direction, the institute trained dogs such as Rolf the Airedale terrier, who was said to be able to discuss religion, contemplate complex mathematics and communicate with humans by tapping out an alphabet code using his paw.

Another dog, Kurwenal, supposedly cracked jokes like a comedian and was a symbol of the educated canines of Germany.

But Hitler’s presumable pick of the litter was a pooch named Don, who apparently barked “Mein Fuhrer” when asked who Adolf Hitler was.

According to Bondeson, Hitler and the Germans seem to have had hopes that the superior dogs would eventually communicate with their SS masters and act as the ultimate guard dogs.

“Why would the Nazis allow such a bizarre project to continue in a country ravaged by war unless they had an interest in studying dog-human communication?” Bondeson asks.

Considering their record on human rights, the Nazi’s actually had notoriously strong feelings about animal rights.

Hitler was widely recognized as a dog lover and owned two German Shepherds, named Blondi and Bella. The dictator famously killed Blondi before taking his own life in 1945.

Bondeson says that some Nazis even wrote letters to local authorities about the pets that were being left behind when the military began forcing Jews into concentration camps.

“When the Jews were deported from certain German cities, nobody bothered about them, they said ‘good riddance,'” Bondeson explains. “But as for their pets, people thought, ‘Well, they can’t bring those with them to the concentration camps, surely we must do something.'”

“It’s a completely forgotten aspect: A good Nazi was a friend to animals.”

JOE BOB

When I first met the great Roger Corman, I asked him, “How do you like being referred to as the King of the B’s?”

“I don’t like that at all,” he said. “The B implies that the movie is somehow second-rate.”

“Okay. What about King of the Exploitation Film?”

“Oh yes!” and his face brightened. “That I like!”

But even Roger had places he wouldn’t go, taboos he wouldn’t touch. That wasn’t the case with Dan Sonney and Dave Friedman, who were also laboring away in El Lay in the fifties, sixties and seventies, but venturing into areas that no filmmakers had ever touched (“She Freak,” “The Suckers,” “The Fabulous Bastard from Chicago”) and will probably never touch again. Dan and Dave were producers who had much more in common with the carnival than with the early days of Hollywood, and their titles were more like circus or vaudeville acts than motion pictures.

The money scene from “She Freak.””Mau Mau Sex Sex” is basically an hour and a half of Dan and Dave sittin around talkin about the good ole days of road shows and four-walling and legendary exploitation stunts. To promote “Blood Feast,” Dave posed as a “concerned citizen” in Sarasota, Florida, and asked a judge to issue an injunction against the playing of the film there. He was so convincing that the injunction was granted and, even after Dave withdrew his request, the film was banned! They had to play Bradenton instead. The very title of this documentary comes from a 1954 travelogue called “Mau Mau,” featuring footage of the Mau Mau uprising in Africa narrated by Chet Huntley. Dan Sonney acquired the footage but didn’t know how to sell it, so he hired some black actors from Los Angeles to pose as naked warriors, slitting the throats of bare-breasted women, and this three minutes of faked footage was inserted into the movie and used as the trailer. But it still troubles him because it failed to make money. “‘Mau Mau’ don’t sell,” he grouses. “‘Mau Mau Sex Sex’ would sell.”

Sonney is royalty in the world of sideshow-type exploitation, having inherited the title from his father, Louis Sonney. Louis was an Italian immigrant who worked in the coal mines of Washington state, and because of his strength, was asked to take a job as a cop. He single-handedly caught a famous escaped train bandit, Roy Gardner, then went on the Pantages vaudeville circuit as “The Man Who Captured Roy Gardner,” demonstrating his strength and his quick handcuffs, used on unsuspecting audience members. He then financed a movie about Roy Gardner, with a repentant Roy playing himself, and by 1934 Sonney was making oddities like “Maniac,” which Frank Henenlotter calls “a wonderfully sleazy creepy kind of film . . . odd, exhilarating, incomprehensible” and, not so coincidentally, the first film to feature on-screen eyeball-eating. (Henenlotter, the director and archivist best known for the great “Basket Case,” provides hysterical commentary throughout the documentary.) Sonney was responsible for most of the “wages of sin” films of the 1930s (liquor, gambling and sex lead to the ruin of young women) and the all but forgotten “Forbidden Adventure” of 1937, in which gorillas mate with women in what is billed as an expose of a primitive Cambodian cult.

By the 1950s Louis Sonney and his son Dan had turned to sex as the most saleable commodity they had, and they would frequently make deals with burlesque theaters to film the entire show. Nationally famous stripper Lili St. Cyr was paid a then unheard of $5000 for one day of work on “Love Moods.”

Friedman, on the other hand, came up through the carnival, where he shilled for “cooch shows” and used his expertise to pioneer the “nudie cutie” film of the early sixties. Shot at Florida nudist camps, these strangely antiseptic films featured endless shots of happy volleyball-playing nudists, but never anything below the waist.

Even though Friedman admits to a long-ago love affair with Playboy Playmate Connie Mason, star of “Blood Feast,” the two exploitation legends turn out to be family men who like to play gin rummy and discuss the health of their prostates. (One man is in his eighties, the other in his seventies.) The men who were once considered enemies of the church, smut-peddlers, and embarrassments to the film industry itself come off as the normal ones, especially when compared to coke-sniffing degenerates like Don Simpson, who produced “Top Gun” and other hits and whose biography drips sleaze all over your fingers. Dan and Dave were, in the final analysis, a couple of swell guys, quaint, old- fashioned, and unfailingly good-humored. You’ll enjoy hanging out with em.

One hundred twenty-six breasts. Twelve dead bodies. Gorilla sex. Nekkid trampolining. Rare footage of Dave Friedman’s sex scene in “The Pick-Up” (1968) and Dan Sonney’s only film appearance, in “The Fabulous Bastard from Chicago.” Rasslin. Chimpanzee acts. Vomit bags. Torture. Tongue-ripping. Whipping. Burlesque Fu. Lesbo Fu. Produced and directed by Ted Bonnitt.

Four Stars.

OUCH!!!!!

MAN SURVIVES POLE

THROUGH HEAD

.

,

After Andrew Linn fell asleep at the wheel during a Thanksgiving visit to Las Vegas last year, he drove into a yard and through a chain-link fence, forcing a pole through the windshield of his car. Emergency responders said Linn was conscious when they arrived, and was even trying to use his cell phone to call for help — which was surprising, considering he had a pole through his head. That’s his X-ray.

That’s right, the pole had entered his face and was coming out through the back of his head.

“It was amazing to see someone with a pipe through his face like that (who) is alive,” Dr. Jay Coates said Tuesday. “Let alone someone who is awake and alert, and trying to communicate with us.”

Once the pipe was removed, Linn was left with scars, missing teeth and a destroyed palate. But he said he’s grateful for his doctors, who he said pulled off a miracle.

“It’s a real humbling experience,” he said. “To think I lived through this. I should have died.”

Sex offender tells judge registry

hurting his ministry

.


Two young women described horrific memories of molestation from their childhood as they pleaded with a judge to keep their abuser on the National Sex Offender Registry.

Thomas Lee Cavender, a local preacher and evangelist, requested removal from the registry having completed 10 years on the nationwide database.

Gaston County Superior Court Judge Jesse Caldwell denied the request.

Cavender, 60, of 213 E. Maine Ave. Apt. B, Bessemer City, will remain on the Sex Offender Registry for at least another year. At that time he can make another request.

Two women who said they were victims of Cavender’s sexual abuse spoke and wept in court Monday afternoon.

The women, sisters, asked to be heard about their experience.

The older of the two turned to Cavender and told him that she forgave but didn’t want him to have the freedom to hurt other young girls.

The other woman talked of being a third-grader when Cavender first touched her inappropriately. She spoke of how he infiltrated her family and tore it apart.

“My family could never imagine the devastation this man would bring on us,” she said.

The women’s mother and father also addressed the court. Both wept and spoke angrily toward Cavender.

Cavender was convicted of sexual battery for interaction with one of the girls in Knox County, Tenn., in 2000. The other never got to prosecute because of statute of limitations, she told Caldwell.

Cavender accepted a plea offer that included a brief stint in prison and followed by probation, he told Caldwell. He also said he completed a sex offender rehabilitation program.

Cavender did not provide any documentation for the court.

Caldwell asked Cavender questions about his past and why it was important for him to be removed from the Sex Offender Registry.

Cavender said that he is a preacher and the label is hindering his ability as a pastor.

“It hurts my ministry when you’re in the pulpit and someone goes to the computer and there you are,” he said.

The judge questioned Cavender as to why he wouldn’t be upfront about his past.

“Are you trying to keep all this quiet to your congregation and the people you preach to?” Caldwell asked. “You’re going into the pulpit under false pretenses, are you not?”

Gaston County District Attorney Locke Bell said he was glad that Caldwell kept Cavender on the registry, calling the Bessemer City man a danger to women and children.

Neither Bell nor the family of the two women knew where Cavender might be preaching.

Cavender could not be reached for comment about where he might be serving at a church. He did tell Caldwell that he collects disability and does not get a paycheck for being a preacher.

Man exposes himself in

Bojangles’ drive-through

In the two years Jaquelin Green has worked as a cashier at Bojangles’ on Bessemer City Road in Gastonia, she’s seen more than her fair share of profanity, rudeness and belligerence from hungry drive-through customers.

But what she saw on Monday night went far beyond any degradation she’s ever experienced.

A white man in his early 30s exposed his private parts to her in the drive-through when she told him they were out of chicken legs around 8 p.m., Green said.

The man was riding as a passenger in a minivan with a woman about his age who appeared to be his girlfriend, she said.

When the van drove up to the speaker to order, Green said the man was yelling so loudly that the woman could barely place the order.

They proceeded to the pick-up window where Green was standing with some news the man wasn’t prepared for – Bojangles’ had run out of chicken legs.

“They never paid for anything. I hadn’t got to the point of packing their order,” Green said. “He wanted two (chicken) legs for his dinner and we didn’t have any chicken legs and I was trying to substitute for something else.”

She said once the couple found out they were out of chicken legs, the man went berserk.

Green said the man asked her twice, “You don’t have any f—— legs?”

When she replied no, the man said “Here’s a f—— leg for you,” and pulled his jeans down slowly and then his boxer shorts, fully exposing his private parts, Green said.

“He did it gradually,” she said. “It’s going to be forever ingrained in my head.”

She quickly tried to handle the situation by swiftly informing her boss of the man in the drive-through lane who had just flashed her.

“I was just kind of dumbfounded. I didn’t know what to say,” Green said. “I kept staring at his face and just shut the window and went back and got my boss.”

Green said her boss told the guy how rude his exposure actions were. As the couple drove off, Green said her boss was able to see the license plate number on the minivan and called the police.

Sgt. Jeff Clark with the Gastonia Police Department said a suspect has been identified and the charge he would face is a misdemeanor.

“We have not made an arrest on that. The detective is going to see if the victim (Green) wants to take warrants out themselves,” Clark said. “It’s pretty much up to the victim whether or not she wants to charge them or not.”

Green says she plans to press charges against the man to make an example out of him but she thinks it’s a shame for it to come to that.

“I was obviously not going to get an apology,” Green said. “This past week, it’s just been beyond what I would call normal rude behavior because with fast food, we’re perceived to be the lowest of the food chain and people think they can do what they want to us.”

Green said fast food employees deserve to be treated like human beings instead of petty servants – even when they don’t have any chicken legs readily available for purchase.

“It’s not OK, just because we work in fast food to do that. We’re still people and we’re not there to take abuse,” she said. “It went past what I perceive to be rude.”

It is with great regret that we inform you that former professional wrestler “Macho Man” Randy Savage has passed away after a fatal car accident in Tampa, Florida this morning.

According to TMZ, Savage (real name Randall Mario Poffo) suffered from a heart attack while driving and lost control of his vehicle. The report was confirmed by Savage’s brother Lanny Poffo.

Randy Savage began his illustrious career back in the mid-eighties and rose to fame as part of the World Wrestling Federation. He captured both the World Heavyweight and Intercontinental championships as both a popular babyface and a venomous heel. He was involved in one of the most popular angles in WWF history at Wrestlemania VII when he and his valet and then wife “Miss Elizabeth” Hulette reunited after Savage lost a “career-ending” match. He was also a part of the WCW during its ascent as he was involved in the angle that saw Hulk Hogan make a heel turn and join the now infamous NWO.

Non-wrestling fans may be familiar with his trademark “Oooooooh Yeah!” catchphrase and his Slim Jim commercials.

Savage was 58.

Moody Blues Nights In White Satin Lyrics

Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I’ve written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I’d always missed with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can’t say anymore.

‘Cos I love you, yes I love you, oh how I love you.

Gazing at people, some hand in hand,
Just what I’m going through they can’t understand.
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.

And I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.

Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I’ve written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I’ve always missed, with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can’t say anymore.

‘Cos I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
‘Cos I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.

Breath deep
The gathering gloom
Watch lights fade
From every room
Bedsitter people
Look back and lament
Another day’s useless
Energy spent

Impassioned lovers
Wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love
And has none
New mother picks up
And suckles her son
Senior citizens
Wish they were young

Cold hearted orb

That rules the night

Removes the colours

From our sight

Red is gray and

Yellow white

But we decide

Which is right

And

Which is an Illusion
