Pirates of Publicly Funding the Minnesota Vikings Stadium

7:27 pm in Uncategorized by Don Mashak

(In other States this should be titled – Pirates of Public Funding of Professional Sports Stadiums)

Having heard some of the criticism of his position on the public financing of professional sports, this author presents his peremptory qualifications as a football fan.

1) In Elementary school, when weather permitted recess was roughly evenly divided between school yard foot ball and deer tag;
2) In Junior High, during summer vacation, this author broke his hip playing sandlot football;
3) In Senior High, this author played on the High School Football Team;
4) In College, this author played intramural football;
5) This author was affiliated with certain undisclosed parties that smuggled kegs into Golden Gopher football games at Memorial Stadium during college;
6) If the this author had grown up in Minnesota, he would be a Vikings Fan;
7) If The ViQueens had had a winning team when this author first came from Wisconsin to Minnesota for College, he would now be a Vikings fan instead of remaining a Packer fan.

Having firmly established he is not some prissy poindexter that shares no love of the game and is just acting as a spoiler, we shall continue.

It is almost beyond reasoned belief that this debate of the public financing of a new stadium for the Minnesota Vikings continues.

Last year, in public hearing after public hearing, the WE THE PEOPLE showed up in great numbers and with great enthusiasm and said, “Hell No!” to public financing. Yet hear we are again in 2012, being bombarded with new angles on how to jam a stadium project that includes jamming public funding down our throats. Public financing of this nature is likely unconstitutional and/or certainly not in the best interests of WE THE PEOPLE.

The fact is Government has

If I were running for President of the USA… Part 1 of 3

11:10 am in Uncategorized by Don Mashak

I sometimes wonder what planet or alternate reality our major media is allegedly reporting on. I listen to the debates, hear the polls and watch the news and just shake my head. I believe that by the time you, the average rank and file citizen, is done reading my agenda, you also will begin shaking your head whenever you hear major media spin its perspective on the politics of our country.

In my humble opinion, the single issue of highest importance to voters this year should be:

“Do you want to be managed and manipulated by the politicians like cattle, trained seals and/or Pavlov’s Dog or; Do you want to be represented like sovereign citizens of the country as the Founding Father’s intended?”

In short, I believe the rallying cry of WE THE PEOPLE should be:

Hell no! No more status quo!”

As I sit down to write this article, I cannot help but wonder how all persons running for president do not write and publish a similarly intentioned article as one of their first acts in making their bid for president. What better way to set the tone of their campaign? What better way to lay out to WE THE PEOPLE their vision for our country? What better way for a candidate to demonstrate their intent to keep their word? What better way for WE THE PEOPLE and the candidates themselves, to measure their success or failure than by having their vision, promises and pledges reduced to writing? Isn’t this just Common Sense?

Instead, America is subjected to some bizarre political Shivaree. During the course of this dragged out shivaree, the political parties and major media “frame” the election and attempt to convince WE THE PEOPLE that the issues the “powers that be” want us to base our voting decisions upon are, or should be, the most important to the majority of WE THE PEOPLE.

Political Party Questionnaires are generally multiple choice with generic answers and no opportunity to choose “none of the above” or suggest a different priority from those suggested. And then major media follows the lead of the political elite and proceeds to frame the debates and the elections accordingly.

In this format, elections become more a matter of almost subliminal manipulation and management of WE THE PEOPLE with Edward Bernays http://bit.ly/nY9BjWstyle techniques rather than elections reflecting the will and best interests of rank and file Americans. And, in reflection, all of these machinations can be seen to be actually intended to maintain the corrupt, tyrannical status quo.

That having been said, let this candidate suggest that all candidates draft and publish a statement of priorities such as this. If for no other reason than because it well serves the best interest of WE THE PEOPLE, the rank and file sovereign citizens of America and allows us to hold our elected officials accountable. (And imagine how many commercials you would not have to see to determine how to vote if every candidate, followed this candidate’s lead in reducing their vision and priorities to writing)

But if you prefer the current status quo of being manipulated and managed like cattle, trained seals and/or Pavlov’s Dog, stop reading now.


CRITICAL THINKING NOTICE

This candidate advises you as no other politician would dare. Exercise Critical Thinking (http://bit.ly/ubI6ve) in determining the truthfulness of anything you read or hear. Do not passively accept nor believe anything anyone tells you, including this candidate… unless and until you verify it yourself with sources you trust. And then, only after you could actively defend your perspective to anyone who might debate you to the contrary of your perspective.

OVERVIEW


In my administration, the priority will be to protect the 300 million citizens of our country from corrupt elected officials and government bureaucrats, rather than protect a few corrupt elected officials and government bureaucrats from the legitimate grievances of WE THE PEOPLE. In my view, systemic corruption permeates all levels of our government. And it is the cumulative effect of this systemic corruption which has caused the financial and moral bankruptcy we are facing.


I am not running to be popular;

I am not running to the most exciting, most lovable or the most colorful president;

I am not running with an eye toward enjoying the accoutrements of aristocracy;

I am not running with an eye toward personal wealth;

I am not running with an eye toward re-election;

I am running to represent WE THE PEOPLE.


I am running to save our country from collapse, to pursue the long neglected best interests of rank and file Americans and to restore America to its former position as the undisputed cultural, socio-economic, military leader of the world.


AGENDA AND PRIORITIES


As president, I would look to roll back all of those small incremental encroachments of liberty, trespasses of the Rule of Law and expansions of Government Power which are easily obfuscated by the ruling class, but whose cumulative effects are easily recognized when published together in the proper context.

Since the general civilization of mankind, I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations…

THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS

1) UNITED WE STAND

It deeply saddens me to have our elected officials and political parties whip various groups of WE THE PEOPLE into a frenzy against other groups of WE THE PEOPLE. This all for the selfish purpose of dividing and conquering WE THE PEOPLE as part of their strategy to get re-elected and maintain power and control. Worse yet, our elected officials have caused and/or have been unable to resolve most of the difficult issues facing our country. Often the political parties deliberately drag issues out just because they so great a source of campaign contributions.

With this in mind, I begin with the premise that WE THE PEOPLE, the rank and file sovereign citizens of America are more alike than the politicians and political parties would wrongfully have you believe we are different. And with this premise, I would seek to tap into the wellspring of synergy residing in the minds of our country’s some 300 million fellow citizens. Further, in so doing, I would hope to unify WE THE PEOPLE and fundamentally alter the current culture of negativity and non-constructive debate which degrades each citizen’s quality of life.

There is a technique known as Nominal Group Process (NGP) which is used to bring consensus and unity in organizations with discord and acrimony………

Next, it has came to this author’s attention that many local papers will not run letters to the editor, Op Ed pieces and articles that do not conform to the perspective of the local “Powers that be”. If you have a letter to the editor that relates to this article, feel free to post it as a comment, noting that the local news source refused to run it. As long as it conforms with general decorum and is plausible, very rarely will we refuse to publish it. If you have unrelated subject matter and/or video and/or audio that you believe we would be interested in based (based on our prior articles), email it here. Send video/audio in common Internet formats or with Youtube.com links. Do not send video in Public Access TV and/or Cable formats. Our philosophy is that more open public dialogue is better than less public dialogue.

LEGAL EVIL? In their own words – Revised and Updated to include Proposed Legislation Language sent to my MN US Representative, Michele Bachmann

8:24 pm in Uncategorized by Don Mashak

 

This is a teaser for an article that I posted on my Blog MINNESOTA JUDICIAL REFORM
AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
It includes Proposed Legislation that I have sent to my Minnesota US 6th District Representative, Michele Bachmann.  In my humble opinion, this should be the single most important issue of the 2012 Elections.

Upon reading my article and proposed legislation, I believe you will reach the same conclusion that I have: Sovereign Immunity is a fraud. It was not provided for in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights.  It results from a deliberate and fraudulent Judicial Interpretation to the 11th Amendment.  Sovereign Immunity is what prevents WE THE PEOPLE from suing and holding accountable our Elected Officials, Judges, Government and Government Agencies and Government Bureaucrats. For we rank and file citizens, the political party that you belong to should not be a consideration in supporting this proposed legislation.  After reading my article, I believe you will be as angry and motivated for this proposed reform as I am.

If Upon reading this, you find yourself in agreement with my assessment and proposed Legislation Please contact Representative Michele Bachmann at the following voice and fax numbers.

LEGAL EVIL? In their own words – Revised and Updated to include Proposed Legislation Language sent to my MN US Representative, Michele Bachmann

With the US Judiciary’s reputation for integrity and honesty firmly embedded in the minds of WE THE PEOPLE, what standing does any single Citizen have to challenge their reputations? To overcome this handicap, I will use the American Legal System’s own words to expose the true nature of their integrity and character.

Let us begin with the words of former FBI director J Edgar Hoover:
“The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists.”

Next, I am going to use the words of Judges themselves.  Judges allege that they reach conclusions by citing existing case law aka previous rulings of judges.

 

In my research on immunity for Judges and States, I was astonished and dismayed to learn the liberties the Judges had taken, and leaps of logic they had used, to interpret and write case law and rules in their favor.

The first cases I will cite are:

Wiggins v Hess (1976, CA8 Mo) 531 F2d 920

“Judicial immunity applies even when judge acts maliciously and corruptly; judge loses his immunity from liability for damages in violation of 42 USCS &1983 ONLY if he acts in clear absence of jurisdiction.”
and:
Holloway v Walker (1985, CA5 Tex) 765 F2d 517

“Judges absolute immunity from suit under 42 USCS & 1983 for actions take under jurisdiction is not avoided by allegation that the acts are performed pursuant to bribe or conspiracy.”……
