Political Issues/Comments / Civil Servants Yearbook - 1934
« on: July 02, 2009, 05:21:41 AM »

"Capital must protect itself in every way ...Debts must be collected
and loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When through a
process of law the common people have lost their homes, they will be
more tractable and more easily governed by the STRONG ARM OF THE LAW
(police) applied by the central power of leading financiers. People
without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known
among our principle men now engaged in forming an imperialism of
capitalism to govern the world. By dividing the people we can get them
to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance
to us except as TEACHERS OF THE COMMON HERD."

Political Issues/Comments / Hmmm... What does this mean?
« on: July 01, 2009, 05:36:51 AM »
"Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Thus the beneficiaries are spared the shame and danger that their acts would otherwise involve... But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them and gives it to the other persons to whom it doesn't belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish that law without delay ... No legal plunder; this is the principle of justice, peace, order, stability, harmony and logic."

"American's will never knowingly accept Socialism, but under
liberalism Americans will accept every fragment and one day wake up
in a Socialist nation and wonder how it all happened. "

Henry,
Here are a couple of links that make interesting reading. One is a link to a write up Barry Goldwater did years ago on the path America is on and who is guiding the tour.

I am not into conspiracy theories, but I do believe the folks elected to serve this nation and its citizens have sold out.

Current News & Events / US Army Basic Training Graduation Day
« on: September 29, 2008, 07:35:18 AM »
Henry,
Anthony has graduated basic training and now in AZ for school. Here are a couple of pic's. The ceremony was outstanding, I messed up the video as I was not expecting what took place. A lot of thought went into to this to reward the graduates on their accomplishment. When I get squared away I will get a short clip up on Youtube.

Current News & Events / Team Manager Needed - BFA Fairfax Football
« on: June 19, 2008, 05:27:11 AM »
Good Day,
The Bullets football team is in need of a student or two to assist in its operation.
Responsibilities:
 Taking attendance.
 Game Filming
 Field set-up
 And of course the famous "Other Duties As Assigned". Now folks this is a biggie, just ask your parents what this means. In our little world of football it does not mean much, but in the real world it can make for an exciting time.

Please contact Coach Williams: coachwilliams@fairfaxpatriots.org.

On another note if you are a student and would like to play football please contact Coach Williams.

Regards,
Ron

Current News & Events / BFA Graduation Ceremony
« on: June 16, 2008, 10:33:24 AM »
On Sunday my son graduated from BFA. I was extremely impressed that Mr. Lang took the time to mention the young men in this case who chose to serve their nation and state. Whether or not citizens approve of the current world situation or president it is important to acknowledge those who serve and make the decision to serve.
For my son Anthony, he chose to turn down his acceptance to Norwich and join the VT Army Guard with plans to go active duty. I am extremely proud of his decision to serve as well as those other young men who have chosen this path.
For those who were not there:

Josh Boucher - VT Army Guard
Sam Graves - VT Army Guard
Jake Langelier - VT Army Guard
Anthony Mapes - VT Army Guard
Elijah Paradee - US Navy

More could be said, but this is enough.
