So much for free speech...Occupy space

I just received this from a citizen who was concerned enough about her safety in the center of Santa Rosa that she spoke out.  For a related post please scroll down to my 10/12/11 post below .

Dear Mayor, Councilmembers and City Manager,  
Thank  you for your time, I know each one of you must be extremely busy dealing with all that is on your plates. I spoke last night regarding the Occupy issue. My name is Joyce Garcia. I’m writing you because of an incident that occurred before the doors opened to the City Council Chambers last night.  

I arrived about 10 to 15 minutes before the doors opened. Not realizing the doors were locked, I walked pass several people to go into the building. Not able to enter the building, I turned around and stood on the side, placing my tablet on the rail, writing what I intended to say during my 2 minutes. I must note that I arrived alone and was did not expect what happened to me. I was approached by Lisa Maldonado, a Union Leader. After she greeted me with a polite, “Hello, how you doin’”, she then introduced me (to whom it wasn’t clear because there were 30+ individuals there) by my full name and as a member of the NorCal C.R.U.S.H.,  then she added, “....which stands for Conservatives....what?” which was clearly to get me to engage in a conversation where she knew I was out numbered. This was clearly a maneuvered tactic she used to intimidate me and point me out to the Occupiers as a person who opposes them.  

Regardless of my statements that I agreed with many of the issues, just not their methods, she made it clear to those 30+ people whose eyes were now all on me, one in the crowd who did not agree with them, that I was disingenuous and was part of a group who created a Facebook page “Stop Occupy Santa Rosa”. This is an out and out lie.   If you can put yourself in my place at that moment. Last week I was one of two people that I know of who spoke in opposition to allowing the Occupy movement to camp out. That was not an easy thing to do in such a overwhelming pro Occupy crowd...especially when many on the council outwardly were in support of the movement, claiming they too were one of the “99%”.

I was pointed out in a crowd where I believe many of the people recognized me as speaking out against their movement. I was called out by my first and last name, surrounded by a crowd who do not welcome my opinion. I was accused of being apart of a FB page who wants the movement to stop. I was, and am still shaken. I was intimidated by a Union leader and pointed out to many people who may or may not wish me harm because of my opinions. I chose not to be silenced by the obvious skilled intimidation tactics and spoke up anyway because I know too many people who refused to be in attendance at regular council meetings because they are intimidated by the presence of the Occupiers, and I am speaking on behalf of them!   I watched as council members were being threatened by these people during a council meeting, only to turn around and be intimidated by a Union leader. This is unacceptable and should not be tolerated!

I know that I speak for many....please stand up to these people and uphold the laws and ordinances that are set in place for ALL individuals. I fear for the police! I know they are being targeted as the bad guys when they are only doing their jobs. Do what is necessary and right and I know that you will have overwhelming support from the citizens you represent.  

Respectfully and with much concern,       Joyce Garcia

THE LONE STAR STATE

I visited Texas speaking about UN Agenda 21 and how it is implemented.  I wish I could say that it's better in Texas but it's all the same programs and projects with slightly different names all over the nation.  One thing I can say for Texans in Houston and Dallas:  They don't appear to be as brainwashed as our Sonoma County residents.  Once they get the big picture they're ready to take action against local elected officials who won't KICK ICLEI OUT and clean Sustainable Development out of their General Plans.

Sonoma County is a sad case but that doesn't mean that we can't wake up and shake up our fellow liberals to see that the environmental movement has been hijacked by people like Michael Allen, Lisa Maldonado, and Norman Soloman.  And what about Alan Strachan and Dennis Hunter?  Global Legacy?  PACE Loans?  $5 TRILLION IN GREEN LOANS?  These manipulators use all the right jargon to get you going.   But, my friends, as anyone who has been abused knows, the rhetoric is just talk.  You have to look at their actions. 

As I've said before, being a Sociailst is ok in America but don't put 'Democrat' under your name when you're running for office.  Progressives are Socialists.  Oh, I don't mean you.  You think it's cool to be progressive.  You like the IDEA of sharing the wealth, just not your own.  Right?  Are you honest?  Willing to have a couple of families move into your house permanently?  Willing to give up half of your pay?  Or have you lost your job due to a total manipulation of our economy and you're now willing to promote socialism?  It doesn't work.  Utopia is a lovely idea.  Everyone has lots of everything, no one has to do what they don't want to do, lots of smiling people, bikes, and blue skies.  Does the Stalin experiment ring a bell or haven't you heard?  What about Mao?  Great idea, right?  Take the wealth away from the princes and give it to the people.  What happened?  Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.  Won't get fooled again. 

So the Texans are looking at UN Agenda 21 in the form (besides Smart Growth, Comprehensive Plans linked to Metropolitan Planning Organizations in a regional brew that steals their sovereignty, just like yours) of TTC--the TransTexas Corridor, Highway 35.  Enters the nation in Texas, exits at the Canadian border, and links the North American Union.  You don't care about sovereignty, you say?  You have faith that you'll be taken care of, that government is good and you'll live happily ever after?  What about WTO?  Have you forgotten the Battle of Seattle?

Oh, you think government is great?  What about those slimeballs at SMART?  Or do you like the idea that THE ENDS JUSTIFY THE MEANS?  Only when you like the ends, right?  And who says that the 'end' is what you think it will be?

What is happening with the OCCUPY thing?  Have you stopped to ask yourself why you think it's cool that anyone would OCCUPY the center of your city?  Are you playing with the idea that you're at WAR WITH THE MAN?  It's stupid.  The government has allowed itself to be taken over by mega corporations.  The only concrete thing I've heard from the whole movement is that you should move your money to a credit union.  What is this?  A credit union backed occupation?  It's a BANK WAR.  And you're in your tent.  Doing your obedient call and response--yes, master, hear and repeat, master.   I urge you to think about all of this--it is a manipulation, a distraction.  YOUR COUNTRY HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY MEGA CORPORATIONS AND YOU ARE LOSING YOUR CIVIL LIBERTIES.  NOW.

KICK ICLEI OUT.  STOP AGENDA 21.  NAME THE PROGRESSIVES SOCIALISTS AND MOVE ON FROM THERE.  Get up, Stand up.
