Given the current turmoil in the market and subsequent impact on real estate, Hindustan Construction Company has decided to put on hold its planned townships in Pune, Nasik and Thane. Land acquisitions for these projects have been deferred for now given the high interest rates and low liquidity in the market. HCC will focus more on government projects in power and water sectors and will look to bid for PPP projects with caution.

My Blog: wear red
By: Asmurf24


Will you give this to my Daddy?

As a Company, Southwest Airlines is going to support 'Red Fridays.'

Last week I was in , attending a conference. While I
was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me
beginning to clap and cheer I immediately turned around and witnessed
one of the greatest acts of patriotism I have ever seen.

Moving thru the terminal was a group of soldiers in their camos. As they
began heading to their gate, everyone (well alm ost everyone)was abruptly
to their feet with their hands waving and cheering.

When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and
cheered for, it hit me. I'm not alone. I'm not the only red-blooded
American who still loves this country and supports our troops and their
families.

Of course I immediately stopped and began clapping for these young
unsung heroes who are putting their lives on the line everyday for us so
we can go to school, work and home without fear or reprisal.

Just when I thought I could not be m ore proud of my country or of our
service men and women, a young girl, not more than 6 or 7 years old ran
up to one of the male soldiers. He kneeled down and said 'hi.'

The little girl then asked him if he would give something to her daddy
for her.

The young soldier, who didn't look any older than maybe 22 himself,
said he would try and what did she want to give to her daddy. Then
suddenly the little girl grabbed the neck of this soldier, gave him the
biggest hug she could muster and then kissed him on the cheek.

The mother of t he little girl, who said her daughter's name was
Courtney, told the young soldi er that her husband was a Marine and had
been in Iraq for 11 months now. As the mom was explaining how much her
daughter Courtney missed her father, the young soldier began to tear up.

When this temporarily single mom was done explaining her situation, all
of the soldiers huddled together for a brief second. Then one of the
other servicemen pulled out a military-looking walkie-talkie. They
started playing with the device and talking back and forth on it.

After about 10-15 seconds of this, the young soldier walked back over to
Courtney, bent down and said this to her, 'I spoke to your daddy and he
told me to give this to you.' He then hugged this little girl that he
had just met and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He finished by saying
'your daddy told me to tell you that he loves you more than anything and
he is coming home very soon.'

The mom at this point was crying almost uncontrollably and as the young
soldier stood to his feet, he saluted Courtney and her mom. I was
standing no more than 6 feet away from this entire event


As the soldiers began to leave, heading towards their gate, people
resumed their applause As I stood there applauding and looked around,
there were very few dry eyes, including my own. That young soldier in
one last act of selflessness, turned around and blew a kiss to Courtney
with a tear rolling down his cheek.

We need to remember everyday all of our soldiers and their families and
thank God for them and their sacrifices. At the end of the day, it's
good to be an American.

RED FRIDAYS ----- Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing
Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to
be called the 'silent majority'. We are no longer silent, and are
voicing our love for God, country and home in record b reaking numbers.

We are not organized, boisterous or over-bearing.. We get no liberal
media coverage on TV, to reflect our message or our opinions. Many  
Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize
that the vast majority of supports our troops.

Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity
and respect starts this Friday -and continues each and every Friday
until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that.. Every
red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar will wear
something red.

By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the on every
Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the
bleachers.

If every one of us who loves this country will share this with
acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family. It will not be long before the is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the
once 'silent' majority is on their side more than ever; certainly more
than the media lets on.

The first thing a soldier says when asked 'What can we do to make
things better for you?' is...We need your support and your prayers.

Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example; and
wear something red every Friday.

  IF YOU AGREE -- THEN SEND THIS ON.

  IF YOU COULD CARE LESS THEN HIT THE DELETE BUTTON --- IT IS YOUR
  CHOICE.

Skateboarding, art and the web, Parker Newman from Popdeck.com talks about his recently launched skateboard design community.

For your chance to win one of Popdeck's limited boards sign up for a profile on SkateboardVillage and send friend request to Popdeck on SkateboardVillage. On April 23rd one of Popdecks friends will be randomly chosen to win a Popdeck board.

What is Popdeck all about?

Popdeck is essentially a skateboard design competition. Started out as a passion between our love for design/art and skateboarding. We have always collected cool decks as art after we skated them up, and this was just the natural progression.

So who is popdeck or involved with creating the idea?

My twin brother and myself start Popdeck. We were previously in the t-shirt business and have always had a passion for skateboarding. We're located in Chicago.

How does it work?

We have an ongoing contest for skateboard art and every 3 weeks we pick a winner, pay them a prize and print there board. The community has the obligation of choosing the winners by rating each design submitted out of 5. After a winner is chosen, we award them 200 dollars and a free deck.

Don't Break my beat Board design by: nunosk8


Where are the boards made?

Our boards are made in Pennsylvania by the good people of Penn Woods.

Where did you get the idea for the website?

We were pretty involved in the design community from our prior work, and just were so impressed by the different mediums people could use to create art. Being skateboarders since forever, it just seemed like a cool idea.

Do you think more people buying popdeck’s are skating their decks or do you think they are using them as art or to hang on their walls?

Right now we want to say that 90 percent of boards sold are by skateboarders. I think though over the past few years, we have really seen a push to people presenting skateboards as art and we hope to open up into that more. To be honest, you really can’t get a great piece of art for cheaper then 40 bucks. But, at the end of the day, it is a skateboard and most people are grinding them up.

What do you think is the relationship between Skateboarding and Art?

Skateboarding has always been a way for people to express themselves. Whether it is by mastering tricks or the entire graffiti and streetwear scene that goes with it. I think it is a dual serving relationship and we have seen a lot of artist come out that were skaters, these guys then become great artist and then give back to the skate community. A prime example of this to me is having these great grafitti artist that came out in the 90’s are now established gallery artists.

One prime example is Eric Elms, he was very into that whole scene in the 90’s. Started off as just a graf writer and now we have seen his amazing art on skate brands such as Supreme.

 

Why have you decided to produce and sell decks in only 20 units?

We started this as an idea to merge art and skating, but didn’t want this to be something that was completely exposed to the masses. We are a tight niche community and we really want people to know they are getting something unique and hand made. As we grow though we hope to raise quantities, but they will always be hand numbered

Squad Comic board design by: squad comic

$40 for a sweet original designed limited edition deck is a pretty sweet deal, How come you decided to make them so cheap?

It was basically for a few reasons, most importantly we didn’t want price to be a reason people couldn’t experience our brand or for people to be hesitant about ordering from us. Being a direct to consumer company as well, we wanted to take advantage of our margins and give it back to the consumer.

What are the plans for the future of Popdeck.com?

Right now we are just making our site and community better and better. We will constantly mold and improve the site. Also, expect a ton more special contest with great prizes and what not. We are also launching a gallery section, let people show off their pics and videos for prizes.

i pick girls on the basis of these things:

positive attitude

being able to skate everything steps,half pipe,banks,ledges,rails and everything u see in vids! handrails are not mandatory and must be able to do demos and appearances when needed!

constant promotion is needed cause it brings u more product in the mail! it is a scratch my back i scratch ur's deal because being a sponsored skater is like having a job i am the employer and u are the employee and u do what is needed to make the company a success and then u reap the benefits such as more clothes a month and wheels and boards and bearings and get ppl to add us on myspace and visit our website and buy our products!

i also look for those who are constantly progressing which means learning new tricks on a constant basis! i dont "hire" just anybody cause then things would be a failure and id go out of business cause no one would be stoked on a company who has half ass skaters that cant do a ollie or something. at a demo ppl will talk and it will come back on me and i will lose money and u will lose product! this is a team effort! u make me look good and ill make u look good in magazines,ads, and stuff like that.


i dont care about what kind of music ppl listen to !


sponsor me vids help! pics are never allowed cause u cant tell style or if u landed a trick or not! video footage is the best way to go and it has to feature all the best stuff u can do like fliptricks down stairs,tech tricks on ledges, big airs on transition etc etc also include information about urself such as name and where u live and why u deserve the opportunity and any current sponsors u have (skate crews dont count)

DO NOT BE A SLACKER!!!!!!!

to sum it all up if u are doing what is being done in videos then u deserve a sponsorship!

5. how did you get involved in the female skate scene? this is a funny story...i was playing tony hawk's pro skater 1 and the first person i beat it with was elissa steamer and i got really stoked and that started to get me involved into female skateboarders and thus i been helping out the scene ever since and in '06 i decided that the female skateboarding scene needed a new real company that promotes their girl riders unlike other companies who do not promote their female riders...my work began in 01 when i started to help with xgirlsport.com(online female skateboarding zine that is now defunct) and after the owner moved to spain i was dissapointed cause i was really stoked and wanted to keep it going and i felt empty so i decided this should fill the void!

6. why distinguish female skaters as female skaters and not just skaters? good question! as i see no gender since i am a feminist i believe that girls in general do not get the credit they deserve and it is just the same as saying hey look at that purple smurf walking down the street. it is just a way to describe someone no disrespect intended it is just a adjective.

7.what does the girls united skate team co make? right now shirts which cost $17.99 with five dollars shipping and stickers that cost $1.50 SO BUY BUY BUY!

8.can i be sponsored by your company? u can but rather i let u on is a different story haha with this team even though it is based in dundalk,maryland i have riders from other states because i want to expand the movement to the four corners of the united states and inbetween i am ALWAYS on the look out for girls from maryland which is my main focus! i really want to build up a team of md girls which is hard to do since there are not many here that skate! but i do not have a problem with sponsoring ppl out of state.

9.how do i get sponsored? u can get on by making sure u are one of those skaters who are constantly pushing urself to the limits and progressing every single time u go out and having a positive attitude and no negativity,u must also be able to skate all terrain I DO NOT ACCEPT GIRLS WHO ONLY SKATE ONE THING! i demand that my riders be able to skate everything which means but not limited to ditches,rails,steps,ledges,mini ramp,banks,ski jumps,flat ground and so on! if u dont understand what i mean take a look at the skating of vanessa torres,elissa steamer,jamie reyes,lauren mollica,monica shaw etc etc AND I ALSO EXPECT FOR U TO REPRESENT AT CONTESTS,LOCAL SKATESPOTS,MYSPACE AND EVERYWHERE ELSE U GO the more u promote ur sponsor the better things will be for u product wise and the better the mood u put me in!.also a video of some sort helps as well! pics will not be good enough. i expect a classic sponsor me vid rather it be vhs or dvd i cant accept any other formats but those 2 and u must film once in awhile and take photos! traveling is not neccessary but it helps both me and u in the long run!

10. what do i get when im on? u get whatever we make! however dont expect to be getting 20 or 30 shirts a month cause that is just impossible cause i must also sell shirts as well so be thankful for what u get!

12. what can i do to help spread the word of the g.u.s.t. movement? u can spraypaint a logo somewhere,or use stickers,write the g.u.s.t. on ur board,word of mouth,use our banners which can be found on our website at gustmd.tripod.com there are plenty of choices for everyone we will also put ur support on our website! if u got it on ur board or spraypainted it somewhere or got stickers or wearing the shirts WE WANT TO SEE and they will be on our website at gustmd.tripod.com!

13.where are your products made? in the good ole u.s.a ON THE EAST COAST!!!. i dont outsource stuff like alot of skate companies cause outsourcing means stuff is made overseas and sent here and is lower quality (crap) (like shoes and pencils for example) i believe in keeping products american made and so does the i.a.s.c. which i strongly believe in!

14. i am a major skateboard company and am interested in carrying your product or sponsoring one of your riders! get at me and we will talk business!

15.will i be in videos and/or mags? there is nothing in this world but possibilities

16.why do u not accept add requests from guys,bands,or non full skate companies? because i talk to guys all day long and most of them i have on other accounts and girl skateboarders is my target audience and the market im into...and no i am not sexist or an a**hole this is not about bands it is about strict skateboarding and nothing more and nothing less! so only girl skateboarders and skate companies will be on here! i run a tight ship!

17. do you have any riders? yes we do! we have three 3 riders named "styles" from md,amelia from az and jasmine from md!

18.do i have to jump down 50 stairs or so to get on the team? no however if u want to see what kind of talent im looking for just look at the vvc vid getting nowhere faster or AKA: GIRL SKATER to get a good idea of what i want!

20. what is the story with boards and wheels etc? well boards are a good possibility i been recently looking at manufacturing companies of course before boards come out we would have to do some r&d with them before they get released to the public! and as for wheels i have recently (as of 8-14-07) checked into them  but im pretty f*cking picky about wheels so alot of r&d would go into them and i only get american made shi*t. pretty good chance that what u have under ur feet is chinese made and im not down for that lower quality bullshi*t!id rather spend alot of money on quality products then spend less money and have ppl come back to me and tell me my shi*t sucks! i want to do the best i can to provide the best quality stuff! it isnt easy having a skate company but u can probably expect wheels for all terrain! and will come in colors! expect to possibly see gust boards and wheels in our 2008 line! if u want to see a mock up of our boards and wheels check out our photo section in the first folder!

Lunenburg, Nova Scotia (Aug 07')
    The day began like many others at the Homegrown skateboards.  Everyone was prancing around searching for innocence and truth.  Yes.  Everyone was searching for their soul’s haiku.  Someone was mumbling about missing a kick at the shower door.  And the non-believers were all wrapped up in a fair trade suitcase for deportation.  In short, everyone was at loose ends, including, of course, the downstairs, bakery patron who cornered me to relay a story about Quasi Moto, a belfry, and a face that rings the bell with no arms.     In light of such a story, it’s not easy to find truth and innocence.  I mean, who the hell is Quasi Moto anyway?  And why does he have no arms?

    The truth is, I don’t know how I ended up there at all – there at the Homegrown Skateboard factory – where Jesse and Anna tuned the whistle to blow new t-shirts into the air like confetti.  I mean, only hours before I was just minding my own business, caring for a plastic drinking straw, and then I’m standing, looking at the new Homegrown t-shirts, as homegrowner, Jesse, explains the latest designs excitedly:

“What.  Yes.  Here it is.  Here they all are.  And look at these little guys going for a hike.  This blue colour here is just a bit lighter than teal, you know.  But that’s to the naked eye.  Here’s the signpost in Newfoundland, yes, but I took mine from a slightly different angle…”

    And so on and so forth as he’s all expert witness to the latest glimpse of genius in another Homegrown product installment.  Faced with all of these soulful energies, I had no choice but to apply for a job with the company.

“I can weave socks.” I said to Jesse.
“Groovy.” said Jesse.

    And like many other plans exchanged in the factory, ours tiptoed away like a wounded pterodactyl to seek refuge in the intricate feng shi of one of the surrounding workbenches.  Yes, when I last saw our sock plan it was nestled next to a pinup of Edie Sedgwick kissing Leon Redbone.  Indeed, there’s no accounting for that whatsoever, but we have to take ourselves seriously despite time’s easy passing.

    Then it hit me.  I need not make socks.  Instead, I will enter the factory from a new door.  I will attempt to define this elusive Homegrown soul I’ve heard so much about.  As a surfer without much of a penchant for plywood, I doubted my own capacity for this feat.  But, I was so pleased with the innocence of my drinking straw that I was immediately on assignment.  Yes.  Define Homegrown soul – that is the next thing on my things to-do list.

* * *

     Episode One in the search for a definition began as I watched a ramp session featuring Jason Keddy and Jesse.  Jason and Jesse both laid out some smooth ramp interpretations.  As Jason found his stance in fitted jeans, Jesse preferred the baggy khakis.  Of course, their two smooth styles beg the question, is this their way of showing Homegrown soul?  And what if each skater’s joints were equally visible?  What then?  And what about their socks?   And who the hell is Quasi Moto?

    As the session rolled on, I found myself seeing the ramp as a permanent wave, and I began to wonder if you could ride down the line as a surfer does on a wave (from top right corner to bottom left, for example).  Could this be done?  And if so, would it help me to define the secrets of a Homegrown soul?

“Is anyone surfing this thing.”  I ask.
“O, yea.  Wait until Dale gets here.  And Greg Baller too.  They’re surfing it, just like our boy
Keddy here.”  Jesse replied.

so, like Tom Waits in ballet, I’m onto the ramp now taking encouragement.  I don’t know why I’m on it, but I can’t seem to resist.  The plywood wave’s whisking under the board fast and buttery golden.  Surely there’s a fine mist of Homegrown soul in the air, and no one says a word.  It is only Anna who can capture it, singing,

    “Don’t think twice, it’s alright...”

Indeed, who could think twice about a feeling that truthful, while the rain fell to bring the night to a close.  The contest would awake us tomorrow, and I hoped for another bit of mist to solidify this mystery search for Homegrown soul.

* * *

As the sun seared down on the Lunenburg skatepark, the Homegrown posse assembled to create a contest.  The sweat ran down the sides of parked motorcycle engines.  Yes.  Lunenburg Skatepark: Home of the Mini-Grinder sweat.

    As the contest began, I reasoned that it was too hot to find answers to my assignment.  Clearly, the best thing to do was to leave the contest in favour of taking the pulse of the local community.  Did the reverberations from the skatepark fun box echo down to harbour side boat building shop where the Bluenose emerged to ride the rails of the sea?  I mean, ask yourself, is the Bluenose that different from a skateboard?

Ask yourself, is skateboarding really that different than fog?

* * *

    Later that night, back at the Bakery, the ramp session pulsed into a giant seamonster.  Blackout 77 encouraged us to find work in Mexico and to eat our pickles, while the team riders laid out their Homegrown souls for all to see.

    In the end, it’s not just about skateboarding, this Homegrown soul.  It’s the whole thing.  It’s in the ramp top lighting.  It’s in the pinups over by the factory workbench.  It’s in the hands of the children playing with the parking lot gravel.  It’s falling onto to everyone in the form of La Have fog.  We’re all curling up into it – this Homegrown soul – wondering how will find it again when we awake tomorrow.  And it’s a credit to everyone involved that it’s never choked.  It’s never been forced.  The Homegrown soul shambles out of the river and welcomes you if you want to be welcomed.

It makes you an offer you can’t refuse:

    Step back onto this rolling rhythm.  Make a play from the heart of your mind’s feet.  Skate.  Banter.  Laugh.  Tom fool.  Sleep well, and come back tomorrow.

Basic info, when and where were you born and where are you residing now?

April 7th 1988, born and raised in Vars, Ontario (Ottawa) and currently residing in Whistler B.C.

Why Whistler?

We’ll I’ve been snowboarding longer than I’ve been skateboarding and growing up I had always heard how good it was to live in Whistler. I had never planned on moving up here until my good buddy Karl Windle moved up, told me all about the Creekside Skatepark and how I could still skate all winter. After hearing all the good news I moved up for the season last year and now I can’t picture myself being anywhere else during the winters.

Photo Russell Brown.

How long do you plan to stay in Whistler?

I was planning on coming back every season for the next few years, but now that the Creekside Skatepark might not be here next year I might not be coming back………

When did you start skateboarding?

I started skateboarding in grade 7 just staying after school using all my friends’ boards. Then on my 13th birthday my family and I were in Victoria, so using all my birthday money I bought some second hand board from a skateshop down there as my first board.

Who do you usually skate with?

Anyone who’s down to skate like ALL the Orleans locals, FOKUS boys, EQ guys, Mitch Barrette, Matt Canadien, and my little brother Nick Gauthier

You recently got hooked up with Annum clothing, what has that been like working with them?

Working with the Annum guys Steve Wilson and Brendan Cavanagh has been sick. I only met them last year and since they’ve put me on their team I’ve become good friends with them. Instead of them just giving me free product like most companies they let me be a part of the company. I’ve been helping with some designs and other business aspects while they’ve been showing me all the tricks of the trade. They’ll be having a bunch of new clothes coming out soon so keep your eyes open for it.

Where have you traveled skating?

This past year was the first year I started taking actual skate trips besides to Montreal.

I was living in Whistler for most of the spring so I skated around there for a bit, and then moved to Port Coquitlam for 2 months. I skated mainly the Poco Park, and didn’t get any filming done the whole time I was in Vancouver. I ended up getting ragged on from all my buddies back home for that. Then moved back to Ottawa and took a trip up to Quebec City, MTL, then me and some buddies took an epic week long road trip down to Austin, Texas.

Favorite skate spot?

The Creekside underground mini bowl.


Got any travel plans for this year?

I want to live in downtown Vancouver for most of the summer, then take a greyhound from Vancouver back to Ottawa, stopping at all the big cities to skate and see some friends, and then a few more trips to the states. Then where ever else I get a chance to go travel and skate.

New Years resolution?

To stop falling on my wrists.

What is up with your wrist, it seems like you have been rocking casts for the last 6+ months?

Yeah about that…….well a few years ago I broke my right hand scaphoid and ended up getting a bone graft from my hip to my wrist along with a cast for 5 months. Then the next year I broke it again, ended up getting another bone graft from my other hip along with a pin and a cast for 4 months. I find out in a few weeks when I’m getting the pin removed. As for my left wrist I found out just over a month ago that I’ve had a small broken bone in there for most of the summer that I didn’t know about. Since I never got it checked out it’s too late to fix it, so now I have a broken bone in that wrist permanently. It sucks sometimes………..

Shout outs?

Thanks to my Mom and Dad for everything they’ve done for me, my brothers, all the older guys I looked up to skating, Garrett Dagenais, Jesse Ringer, J.I.P.S, everyone that’s helped me out, Annum Trading company, and to Lenny for making this happen.

 am at school, in my fourth block typing this letter to you.... I finished my exam and I am exhausted wanting to go to bed.... Really and truly I am tired. As I was on my way to my fourth block I ran into Gage and I said hello but he seemed to have ignored me. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, maybe i'm not good enough for him. Idk, thoughts ran threw my head as I passed him and no words were said. Images of what was truly happing entered my mind. I guess the only way to get what I want is if I do it myself. If I wait on him to catch me when I fall, i'd hit the ground. If I wait for him to come to me, i'd be waiting an eturnity. Theres no point on waiting for something thats never going to follow. I really like him, the way he gives me hugs to were his hand slowly slides off my waist or how he smiles at me with that perfect smile. The way he laughs when somethings not funny, but you laugh along too so he doesnt look retarded. The way he calls my name when all he says is hello. Everything about him seems to send shivers down my spine. But I guess that doesnt matter considering I am nothing more but a phesent in his grace. He seems to hold on to every piece of me and he doesnt even know it. I dont know what to do. I dont want to rush things b/c the last time i was to  kiss the lips of him it was fatal. and if I wait then my lips shall never kiss what is rightfully mine. Part of me wants to run to him and be with him every second i can, no holding back, giving him everything i have. Then the other side of me wants to wait and let him doso in vise-ver-sa. Im so confused about which to do. Both seem so right and yet at the same time seem so desperatly wrong. Please help me with my desicion.... I am one of those people who i guess have seem to run out of advice for myself and need some from the company of another.

....FOR FREEDOM!!!

 

 “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act. –George Orwell

 

The year is 1913, Woodrow Wilson is president, and powerful banking interests, who have been trying for year, finally achieved their long term goal, of silently taking control of the American government.

     The first thing the did to accomplish their take over was convince secretary of state, Flan Denox, to lie to the American people, and tell them that the 16th amendment [Income Tax Amendment] had been legally ratified by the states when it was not. The bankers knew that this tax would ultimately end up in their pockets.

     Because of this fraud the American people were led to believe there was a tax on their labor. Congress and the President ARE completely aware of this fraud and it was cited in a recent court case:

 

“If you… examined [the 16th amendment] carefully, you would find that a sufficient number of states ratified that amendment.” -U.S. District Court Judge, James C. Fox, 2003

 

That very same year [1913] the bankers committed their second, and by far most diabolical fraud ever perpetrated on the American people, by bribing senators to pass the Federal Reserve Act, without the required Constitutional amendment. They did this during Christmas vacation, when many senators where home celebrating Christmas with their families.

     And that is how the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act came into being. They were very clever, and understood that who ever issued the money for America controlled the government.

 

“Give me control of a nations money supply, and I care not who makes its laws.” -Mayer Rothschild, Private Banker

 

President Wilson, who signed the Federal Reserve Act later said in regret:

“I’m a most unhappy man; I have unwittingly ruined my country a great industrial nation is now controlled by a system of credit. We are no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinions and duress of a small group of dominant men.” -Woodrow Wilson, 1919

 

How did America transform from being a truly free country with a servant government where our individual rights are protected by our Constitution, to being a country that talked about being free but really wasn’t?

     The change started when the Federal Reserve came into existence, and America adopted one of the major planks of the Communist Manifesto by creating for America this central bank.

     The very same people that back the Federal Reserve System also back the graduated income tax, a second plank from the Communist Manifesto.

     And now our Congress so dominated by the banks, is helping them entrap people even further by passing new Bankruptcy Laws making it more difficult for the people to declare bankruptcy and get a fresh start.

 

“Who controls money controls the world.” -Henry Kissinger, Council of Foreign Relations

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

*President Bush has signed executive orders give him sole authority to impose martial law and suspending Habeas Corpus. This gives him dictatorial power over the people without any checks or balances.

 

*The government can jail you for life without charges, without trial, and without a lawyer.

 

*Because of globalization the U.S. must accept other nations’ laws. Under the CAFTA treaty the sale of vitamins and supplements will be illegal.

 

*Executive Order# 10999: Allows the government to take over all modes of transportation.

 

*Executive Order# 11000: Allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.

 

* Executive Order# 11921: Provides that the president can declare a state of emergency that is not defined and Congress cannot review the action for six months.

 

*Senate Bill# 1873: Allows the government to vaccinate you with untested vaccines against your will.

 

*The FDA says: Americans do not have a right to know which foods are genetically modified.

 

*Congressman Sensenbrenner’s Bill (HR1528): Requires you to spy on you neighbors including wearing a wire. Refusal would be punishable by a mandatory prison sentence of at least two years.

 

*The government claims the power to seize all financial interments: gold, silver, and everything else if they deem an emergence exists. –treasury department letter, Aug. 12, 2005

 

*There are 190 countries in the world; American has bases in 130 them.

 

The Patriot Act permits:

*Secret FBI and police searches of your home and office.

*Secret government wiretaps on you phone, computer and/or internet activity.

*Secret investigations of your bank record, credit cards and other financial records.

*Secret investigations of your library and book activities.

*Secret examinations of your metical, travel and business records.

*The freezing of funds and assets without prior notice or appeal.

*The creation of secret watch lists that ban those named from air and other travel.

 

“The Constitution is just a goddamn piece of paper.” -George W. Bush, Nov. 2005, Capitol Hill Blue

 

During the 1990’s President Clinton monitored millions of private phone calls placed by U.S. citizens. He did this under a secret program code named: Echelon. The wide spread use of wire tapping Americans during the Clinton administration proves that this practice was not started because of 9/11 but is standard procedure.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The new legislation for the national ID card is in and takes three to for pages to describe. It will be connected to our driver’s licenses and Social security numbers. A physical ID such as finger prints or retinal print will be on it.

This law known as the Real ID Act takes effect in May 2008. Anyone with out a card will not be permitted to board an air plain, Amtrak train, open a bank account, or enter a federal building.

The bill mandates that all drivers’ licenses contain “common readable technology. A radio frequency identification (RFID) chip will be used.

 

 

“It is time to wake up America. Those ID cards are NOT about defeating terrorism, they are all about controlling the American people.” -Aaron Russo

 

The latest technology for identifying people when they make purchases is the implantable chip that can be directly imbedded into human flesh. Its tiny glass capsule is about the size if a grain if rice. It contains an RFID computer chip with a coiled antenna.

Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, and others have expressed great interest in being able to more closely monitor the American people. And one way to do that would be to determine who buys what and where they take these things.

     Radio frequency can travel through walls, wood, the things we normally rely on to protect our privacy. For example your backpack, your pocket, anything you’re wearing or carrying.

     They were talking about having reader devices in every airport, on every bus, every train, on every port and every dock.

     One of the most worrisome applications of RFID is proposals to put in cash. Meaning that you’d be able to track every bank note, where it has been, who it has been issued to, and create an essence an audit trail that would essentially take away the anonymity of cash, that we enjoy today.

     The ATM machine itself, as the money came through the roller device, would be reading each number. And it would know who you are; of course you identify yourself at banks or ATMs. And the ATM would tag the number, and transfer the possession name from, say Bank of America to Joe Jones.

     Once every thing you do is tied down to a single number, and there is no longer the option to pay with cash, then all it takes to render you a non citizen is to simply turn you chip off. Then you won’t be able to participate in ant function in society, including buy food.  

     Through the implementation of the Federal Reserve System, the American citizen has gone from being a private individual who had real money, and gold in possession that was private, to a citizen who has no privacy because all money is now being digitized. They can deduct however amount of money they want out of your digits when ever they want, and they can trace you when ever they want. You’ll be at there mercy. God forbid we allow this to happen in America

    

“This is outrageous! I mean your talking about the government looking over your shoulder at absolutely everything you do, every purchase you make, every place you go, every company you interact with, would be recorded back to potentially the government.” -Katherine Albrecht, author of “Spy Chips”

 

Have we become so controlled and ignorant about our rights, that big institution and big governments can do whatever they want with us even with out our approval?

I know for certain that our founding fathers would resist to the death what is happening in America today. And I for one will not accept a national ID card. And if nobody accepts a national ID card, and nobody can board a plain without one, then let the airlines go bankrupt. And if you can’t open an account in a big national bank, then open one in a small local bank. And if we can’t walk into a federal building, I’d personally consider that a blessing.

Don’t allow these institutions to dictate to us how we conduct our lives. This is America, and we have free choice! We the people have the power not the government. The government gets its power from us, not the other way around.

Think of all the men and women that died in all our wars fighting for freedom, not Federal Reserve bankers. Do you think they sacrificed their lives so America could get chipped like a dog, so we can all have homing devices inside us? NO! This ID card is the last step before they implant us, and that is precisely the reason no one should accept one.

And you know what they’re going to do? They’re going to call in the propaganda machine, the media, and try to sell this RFID chip as if it was in everybody’s best interest.

 

“We shall have a world government whether or not we like it. The only question is whether the world government will be achieved by conquest or consent.” -Paul Warburg, architect of the Federal Reserve System, 1950

 

The central bankers of the world are working together to create a one world government. A global police sinister was the only thing George Orwell ever wrote about. Where every person on the planet Earth will have an RFID chip implant, where the bankers and the governments have access to every transaction you make.

A chip in every in everybody would be the universal monitory system, because there would be no escape from it.

Most people don’t have a clue that these unelected private bankers, actually control the governments of the world. They have actually financed and profited from ever war since World War I, without concern for humanity. The war in Iraq is an attempt by the Federal Reserve and their partner the Bank of England to control the middle east, and make it part of the new world order.

 

“Military men are just dumb stupid animals, to be used as pawn in foreign policies.” -Henry Kissinger

 

     The war on terrorism is the war on your freedom.

 

“The bankers own take it away from them but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough money to buy it back again. However, take away the power to create money, and all great fortunes like mine will disappear and ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in.

But if you wish to remain slaves of the bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money.” - Sir Josiah Stamp, former director of the Bank of England

 

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years.

     It would have been impossible for us to develop our plans for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But now the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march toward a world government. The supra national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto determination, practiced in past centuries.” 

-David Rockefeller, private banker, council on foreign relations, June 1991

 

“The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes.” -Felix Frankfuter, U.S. Supreme Court Justice

 

“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” -Henry Ford

 

     Now that you do understand what happened in 1913, and how it is leading to world government, the future depends on you. Will you choose freedom or slavery? Stop living in fear of your government. Government is the servant. We are the masters.

So what are you going to do about it? Join together in civil disobedience. Be willing to take part in nationwide strikes, boycotts, and marches on Washington. Force Congress to use their power to shut down the Federal Reserve. Government has authority to issue money, without paying interest to the bankers. This will take away the power to control our government from the bankers. Only vote for candidates who have signed an affidavit to shut down the Federal Reserve System and stop world government.

If you are in the military or law enforcement, remember you swore an oath to defend the American Constitution. You didn’t swear an oath to promote world government. Honor your Oath.

DONOT accept the national ID card, even if it’s your drivers’ license. We must demand that the American peoples gold be audited, and make certain that it has not been stolen. This asset must be returned to the American people.

Abolish computer voting in the state where you live. Stop being a good Democrat, stop being a good Republican, start being good Americans.

And when the media starts telling you that the country will fall apart if this is done, don’t be fooled. This is just the Federal Reserve trying to save itself. Squash it!

 

“I like the old idea, where you could do what you thought you could do and what you wanted to do as long as you didn’t hurt anyone.”

 -Ron Paul

 

If you believe in civil disobedience and wish to organize with millions of Americans in this battle for liberty, please sign up at freedomtofascism.com, and if you choose not to help, report to Central Services immediately and we will have you fitted for an RFID chip… for you own safety, of course.

 

”We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
-Benjamin Franklin, at the signing of the Declaration of
Independence, July 4, 1776

 Uninted we stand, Divided we fall.

This week we have had Hurley Team down skating the park which has been fantastic to watch. Bob Burnquist was hear for three days he skated all of the park and said it is fantastic as the concrete is so smooth, he said he is definately coming back. Bob did some real radical tricks in the air which was watched by all, he left Thursday to recieve Vet skater ogf the year from Transworld, he recieved the award from Tony Hawke and Kevin Staab Big ups to Bob who is a realy nice guy.
 
Nilton Neeves from Brazil is still hear he has amazed all with an acid drop which everyone will see on the DVD he drooped off the talest drop in first try everybody was amazeed the crack of boards banging in apreciation ecoed around the park. Niltoin skating is like he was born with a board stuck to his feet he rips street, rips the pool and also the big bowl.
 
Chris Markevitch is still hear he is a rad street skater who did some amazing tricks in the park.Chris has a new skateboard company called Crimson which all should check out as he has a great team and also great boards.

I sudgest all should try and come to Black Pearl in the Cayman Islands as I garantee you it will take your breath away when you first see the park. It will take you a couple of days to take it all in; as I have seen each time pro skaters come down. We have a visiting pro who skates for DVS shoes and his first words were he can't believe it. If you check out black pearl there will be some shots of Hurley team doing there stuff.
