Tick-Tock, Tick Tock, on 4 Citrus County Commissioners-EDITORIAL-Click here
By Guest Editorialist: Jeff Doolittle
Four out of Five Citrus County Commissioners again stretch the realm of rationality by voting to obtain a loan of 3 million dollars to hire an out of state firm to tell them how to economize the county government buildings in order to save energy! The premise that this firm guarantees that county will save over 200,000 a year in costs again indicates that these Commissioners still believe in the Tooth Fairy and Never Never Land. Even if true, which is highly unlikely, the 200,000.00 a year saving, if possible, would still take 15 years to recoup 3 million dollars, not counting the interest that would be owed on that amount. The county just finished the renovation of the building on State Road 44, in Crystal River, which is officially the West Citrus Government Center, which opened in 2012. This building has the latest in technology in respect to efficient heating and cooling, lights that turn off automatically, when no one is in the area, bathroom fixtures, and other advances that would not be found in the county’s older buildings. The county could use the same people that renovated this old commercial property that was leased from the Olsen family, to repair and renovate the older buildings in question.
Dennis Damato, Rebecca Bays, J. J. Kenny, Joe Meek all voted for this proposition and that is exactly what it is, much like the quick rich schemes that abound on the net, too good to be true. Scott Adams seems to be the only one on the commission who hasn’t lost touch of reality.
Port Citrus, another waste of money in schemes that would be too good to be true realm, this has been talked about for the last forty years, the feasibility firm hired to analyze this deem that it would only be practical for barges to transport lumber and such to this area, where non-existent warehouses would store these goods to be freighted across the rest of the state. The ports in Jacksonville and Tampa don’t come to mind? With all the hype that these GOP commissioners espouse concerning the use of private industry development in the county, would not this be the course of action? But, of course, if private industry really thought this would be a viable course of action, wouldn’t they have tried this over the many years? One wonders about the reach of the long and powerful arms of the wealthy, such as Dixie Hollins, and others in these many aims of the commissioners?
Lest we forget that the county has been making cuts because of the shortfall from Duke’s Energy failure to pay their property taxes. Apparently these Commissioners have fleeting memories in their apparent spending spree which they will lay on the backs of the Citrus County Taxpayers, through property taxes, with an expected increase in the millage rate of 8 to 10 mills and the addition of an MSBU fee of $60.00 that will hit everyone, to cover the services of the fire department and by the time you read this, most of you will have received the notice in the mail advising you of this new expense. Dennis Damato was out and about, gloating how this will ere the backs of the taxpayers and how the county government offices will be slammed this year with angry citizens? Makes you really wonder what is wrong with an individual when there is absolutely nothing funny about families encountering another expense along with all the others they have to face just to survive in this economy and the devaluation of the dollar?

Hungary has fallen
Dear Editor,
Blink and you've missed it: Hungary is no longer a democracy.
President János Áder has just signed away the rights of all that was left of Hungary's opposition parties after years of gutting legislative powers, crippling the free press, and eliminating all mention of a "republic" in the country's constitution.
If this trend doesn't sound familiar, here's something to jog your memory: along with criminalization of the homeless and attacks on women and the LGBT community, Hungary's seen a horrific spike in state-sanctioned antisemitism and racism, including the decoration of three men known for their connection to the pro-Nazi Arrow Cross Party.
We've seen the steps Áder's taken before. We know these signs. And while the European Union continues to stay silent, the situation for women, ethnic minorities and religious groups in Hungary becomes deadlier by the second.
Please, join us in calling on the member states to act on Article VII of the EU Treaty, which demands they intervene to prevent any state from being robbed of its democratic freedoms. We still have time to stop Áder's men from stripping Hungary's people of more rights and protections -- but we cannot afford to stay silent for long!
PETITION TO EU MEMBER STATES: We cannot afford to sit by while another European country represses state protections, targets minorities, and spreads anti-Semitism while eliminating free speech. Don't let Hungary go the way of Nazi Germany -- act on Article VII to ensure Hungarians' rights and freedoms!
Click here to sign -- it just takes a second.
Thanks,

A Good Neighbor-letter to editor-CLICK HERE
Dear Editor,
Thank you for the 5/20/13 article "What makes America strong". It
covered what we -as a "national family"
have heard about: the dramatic escape and rescue of three young women
in Cleveland, Ohio - who were held captive
for a decade and of their self-reliance, courage and survival instincts - that tell us that we have it within us to
endure what might appear to be the "impossible".
These three young girls were horribly abused by a cruel captor for 10 years in his home but now they are free!
Their freedom came because a concerned neighbor named Charles Ramsey
saw one of the girls "trying to get out of the house" he kicked in the
locked door allowing an escape of the girls including a daughter of one of the girls born in captivity.
Charles Ramsey was the epitome of "A Good Neighbor" And he made sure
that these poor abused souls were taken away from the Ohio house of horrors.
They Survived And We Can Learn From Their
Fight for Freedom to have Courage: Knowing That Good Always
Triumphs Over Evil As We Hold Firm To Faith For What Is Good - Being
Good Neighbors!

I have Osteo-Genesis Imperfecta (O.I.), i'm 63 years old and suddenly find myself taking care of my 4 grandchildren. The van I have now requires me to use my crutches and a piece of plywood to load and unload my power chair, which is taxing enough with my disease, but in addition to O.I., I have had my Aortic valve replaced and a by-pass via open-heart surgery.

Hello, Westboro Baptist Church
.
Allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Anonymous
As you may not have acknowledged our existence, we, on the otherhand, have recognized yours. We have seen your depraved methods of disseminating your message of hate throughout The United States of America
. We have witnessed you defaming the memories of those who sacrificed themselves for the security of our nation, disrupting the peace of the educational environment within high schools and universities, breeding hatred
within the fragile minds of your own next of kin, desecrating the name of God
by protesting in the proximity of churches and synagogues, and mangling the biblical text to conform in accordance with your malevolent cause.
Your pseudo-faith is abhorrent, and your leaders, repugnant. Your impact and cause is hazardous to the lives of millions and you fail to see the wrong in promoting the deaths of innocent people. You are self-appointed servants ofGod
who rewrite the words of His sacred scripture
to adhere to your prejudice. Your hatred supersedes your faith, and you use faith to promote your hatred.
Since your one-dimensional thought protocol will conform not to any modern logic, we will not debate, argue, or attempt to reason with you. Instead, we have unanimously deemed your organization to be harmful to the population of The United States of America, and have therefore decided to execute an agenda of action which will progressively dismantle your institution of deceitful pretext and extreme bias, and cease when your zealotry runs dry. We recognize you as serious opponents, and do not expect our campaign to terminate in a short period of time. Attrition is our weapon, and we will waste no time, money, effort, and enjoyment, in tearing your resolve into pieces, as with exposing the incongruity of your distorted faith.
Anonymous possesses a plethora of information within our network about the many divisions of Christianity
and numerous other religious doctrines. Many of us are versed in the biblical text, and we can identify each and every of your violations of scripture. You abuse the Holy Bible
which you do not fully comprehend and know not of the thousands of authors to impose upon other people when you can simply coalesce with your loved ones and live in the manner you deem plausible. You engage in reciprocal fornication with another man and preach adultery as a sin. You, Shirley Lynn Phelps-Roper violatedDeuteronomy
. As a result, your son Sam is the living, breathing proof of your act of simple loneliness. Simply put, it takes not a genius to realize an arrogant woman's loose moral string, and its predilection to progressively wither and fray.
From the time you have received this message, our attack protocol has past been executed and your downfall is underway. Do not attempt to delude yourselves into thinking you can escape our reach, for we are everywhere, and all-seeing, in the same sense as God. We are a body of individuals who fight for a purpose higher than self, and seek to bring the malevolent intent of the malefactors to light.
We will not allow you to corrupt the minds of America with your seeds of hatred. We will not allow you to inspire aggression to the social factions which you deem inferior. We will render you obsolete. We will destroy you. We are coming.
Everyone is equal.

MURDER in Bengasi
By Avyd Grid Jorge click on the title MURDER in Bengasi to be taken to complete article!
Several sources have said that U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty, the two former Navy SEAL commandos working as diplomatic security officers (mercenaries) and Sean Smith, an information management officer killed in Bengasi, Libya, were betrayed by their Libyans bodyguards and the series of events leading up to this was carried out by a Psy-Ops of the Israel Mossad and CIA operatives in their continued efforts to drag the United States into the coming Iran conflict. It has all the flavor of the Iranian-Hostage episode that was orchestrated back in 1979 to influence the Presidential election of 1980, by removing President Carter and to bring forward the election of Ronald Reagan, who’s Vice President George Bush, (former CIA Operative) was deemed to be more of a military adventurist than Carter. Under Reagan’s Presidency, he (Reagan) would take care of domestic issues, while his Vice President, would handle the foreign affairs. This was orchestrated by rogue CIA operatives who resented President Carter taking heed of President Eisenhower's warning in his farewell address (beware of the Military-Industrial Complex) and fired 4000 CIA spies. The operatives succeeded, Carter lost the election and immediately after Reagan took office, the hostages were released and what followed were the years of the Iran-Contra Affair, where, the Reagan Administration in collusion with the Military-Industrial Complex, began to supply the Iranian terrorists (those who had held the American hostages) arms in order to get the release of another group of Americans who were held hostage in Lebanon. So much for the not dealing with Terrorists mantra!
Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North, a chief aide to the National Security Council, was chosen to be in charge of this covert U.S. initiative. From the late summer of 1985 to mid-autumn of 1986 the Reagan administration sold arms to Iran, who was currently in a bloody war with Iraq. The intent of this was to persuade Iran to use its influence to arrange the release of the hostages in Lebanon. This tactic worked, facilitating the release of three American hostages. This was fruitless however, as those three were quickly replaced by the kidnapping of three other Americans and America began to supply Iraq with weapons also, thus obtaining the ultimately Military-Industrial complex dream, supplying both sides of a conflict with arms!
And the reason it’s called Iran-Contra Affair, Reagan’s administration wanted to continue to aid the Contras guerrillas who were fighting the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, Congress passed the Boland Act, which forbid this type of involvement. President Reagan, through the NSA keep it going which resulted in the formation of the Tower Commission to investigate what was going on. They spoke with Reagan, Bush and the rest of the Administration staff and then to the NSA. This episode in covert operations was whitewashed off by blaming a “rogue” group within the NSA! Although two select committees in Congress later did find culpability by individuals involved, yet, Reagan and others at the top were not indicted, even though there was a strong belief of their guilt.
The uproar about the YouTube video referring to Mohammed in Sept 2012, was what supposedly stirred this all up, but that was not it, it was the cover, to setup, Ambassador Stevens and his people, to be the lynch pin in the next grand scheme of control by the Mossad and the CIA. The video was produced by the financial backing of one of the Mossad operatives. This video is suppose to be a soft porn production of all types of sexual behavior, involving Muhammad , it is no wonder that it stirred up so much unrest in the Middle East. It still is no excuse to kill an innocent, which is in of itself, a reprehensible act and should be condemned by all parties. Years ago (1988) a movie came out about Christ, that Citrus County would not allow to be shown, in fact, when it came out on video, you could not rent the video in the county! The outcry against this movie by Citrus County residents shows how deeply a community can be threatened when something may impinge their religious beliefs, that movie was, "The Last Temptation of Christ".
Some of the victims of this second 911 may have been sodomized and their bodies drag through the streets, according to Sue Lindauer, former CIA operative and author of "Extreme Prejudice" , who has seen photos of the aftermath.
In order to delve into the realm of the Israel Mossad we must take a step back into history. Israel has been spying on it’s closest alley, the United States, for decades and they have gain such a foothold within the government that the American people are the least of concern for most of the members of Congress. That is why (Republican) Senator Lindsey Graham wants Congress to pass a resolution supporting Israel saying the time for talks with Iran is over! with The videos below from FOX news show some of what they have been up too. These videos concern 911 ONE. For an accompanying document download, click the link below.
The video below contains the Mossad operatives, continuing from Part 1, outlining some, only some of their involvement with the original 911 “terrorists” attack!
Part 3 is about one of Israel’s front company, AmDocs, a company that records all the phone calls made in the United States!
Security video from 911 ONE, shows that from the last two weeks in August 2001 through Sept 3, 2001 after the regular maintenance people left every night, another group of trucks show up and stayed there to about 2:30 A.M. to 3:30 A.M.
The video below shows the Israel Mossad operatives on an Israel talk show two months after 911 ONE, and it also gives a good accounting of the faith of Judaism and how it relates to the Nations of the world!

The video below audio, is some of the emergency personnel radio broadcasts the day of Sept 11, 2001, 3 minutes, 17 seconds is the point (if you care to jump ahead) where you can hear the NYPD (over their radios) say to watch for those remote controlled planes filled with explosives!
To explore the pattern of terrorism that is Israel and the Mossad, take another step back in time to the fourth day of the Arab Israel 1967 War. A War that saw the Israelis attack the USS Liberty Intelligence ship, which was clearly marked with a huge U.S. flag, in International waters, killing 34 U.S. Seaman and wounding 171 crewmen out of 297!
It cannot be unexpected that a Nation that was born from terrorism would utilize terrorism in the manipulation of events around the Middle East in order to get it’s desired results. The book, A Calculated Risk: The U.S. Decision to Recognize Israel
Jan 19, 2010 an Israel Mossad gang of 80 entered the sovereign country of Dubai, to kill a top Hamas official, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh. The Hotel where they carried out this activity caught everything on Closed Circuit T.V.
Now Israel wants the U.S. to invade Iran!
WARNING: There are extreme photos of the aftermath of this attack and they will not be published here, although the one carried by the New York Daily News can be accessed here and it is extreme and disturbing enough.
The Joint Chief of Staff, U.S. Army General Martin E. Dempsey, spoke recently to Dr. Steve Pieczenik, (at the Council of Foreign Relations) who was given the military concern about getting involved in a conflict in Iran, and it was not good. Not that the military could not handle Iran, but another conflict in the Middle East, with a military that has seen service men and women serving, two, three, four and more tours of duty, was something that was not desirable, nor considered prudent. Along with other high ranking Generals, the military believes it is time to get out of the “sandbox”.
This is what President Obama is trying to do, keep us from getting more involved in the Middle East, although the Israelis and Netanyahu are trying to paint him into a corner.
The important detail that the Media Machine fails to give you is that the people killed, the Ambassador and the others were not at the Embassy. They had been moved to a CIA “safe house”! This is important because their presence had to have been revealed to the team that killed them.
Romney is being back by the same Neo-Cons that represented George Bush’s Administration, they would like another war, this time, in Iran in order to take the sting out of the memories of the Bush Administration, 2000 to 2008. With a Romney Presidency the plan is to be in Iran by early spring 2013.
The privatization of former government offices and duties have given an open door to the Israel spies, their front companies for the Mossad step in and the next thing they do is to take over the entire operation of whatever it was they were hired for, in other words, it expands the realm to many other areas of government that are not or haven’t been considered for privatization! Even the NSA (National Security Agency) now uses these front companies to spy on Americans through many varying formats, including wiretaps and hidden cameras.
