As I sat in the Steinberg auditorium on Friday night waiting for the start of a panel discussion on the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, I wondered where the crowd might be. The panel discussion was part of this weekend's student charrette sponsored by the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects and the Transportation Engineering Association of Metropolitan St. Louis, and featured the public match-up of Danforth Foundation President Peter Sortino and Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Superintendent Tom Bradley. Joining the panel were moderator Robert Duffy of the St.

The United States Federal Government is losing containment of it’s :cash cow"; your home.

The Federal government is buying all home mortgages and at fire sale prices!

The Federal government is buying banks, and at fire sale prices!

The federal government is buying your debt, and at fire sale prices!

If You do not support the United States Federal Government they are going to kick you out of your house.

Do you get it yet?

You will be kept a squatter and if you play the game correctly and support the Federal government, they will let you keep your home.

Economic Fascism and The United States

Sun, 12 Oct 2008 07:27:49 +0000

Let the Federal Government collect it’s taxes but to put my home in peril because of taxes - is ECONOMIC FASCISM.

I want the Federal Government to spend itself into bankruptcy and irrelevance; and it is my patriotic right as a human and and an American to have control over my money to do so.

I believe in local taxes, and local representation of those taxes; to me - the FED is DEAD.

The day a Trident Nuclear submarine pulls into port for salvage and dismantling, because the US Federal Government has no money, will be the day I open a bottle of champagne, and christen my life.

My landlord was out yesterday because her house needs major work.
She said "Well, I'll just have to do it - I mean it has to be done - I am getting a home improvement loan on another property and I'll have to use it here - Well it has to be done - so keep me informed - I am refinancing this house at a lower rate on Friday - if I can get the loan with the house like this - could you cover it with plastic or something for the bank appraiser to come out?"......

Neil Cavuto, host of Fox News' Your World, conflated giving home mortgages to minorities with risky lending practices, suggesting that efforts to increase homeownership among minority borrowers contributed to financial problems at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Pipe scheme: ICC judge to weigh Canadian pipeline's demand for eminent domain in Illinois

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 20:26:15 +0000

Should a $10 billion Canadian oil and gas delivery company get the right to take a private nature preserve from a retired Illinois railroad conductor? Larry Jones, an administrative law judge with the Illinois Commerce Commission, is set to begin hearings in Springfield on July 8 to settle that question.
Carlisle Kelly’s nature preserve isn’t large, only 205 acres, but the battle for control of piece of his property is seen as a test of how much Americans are being asked to give up to supply the world’s energy needs.
