A Brief History of Gloucester, Virginia
From the earliest of English history in the US to modern day technological advancements, Gloucester County, Virginia is in the forefront of the silent history that impacts the world.
This brief history will show you how and why.
By; Chuck Thompson of TTC Media
United States English American history begins with the landing at Jamestown, Virginia. Less than 30 miles away from what is now known as Gloucester, Virginia. The new English frontier begins in Jamestown but is superseded by native American history of Gloucester, Virginia where Pocahontas was born in 1595 to chief Powhatan. Pocahontas, aka Matoaka, her real given name, was responsible for saving the life of Captain John Smith and building the first bridges of understanding between the Native American's and English settlers. Pocahontas married John Rolfe in Jamestown, Virginia and lived with him on his tobacco plantation in Henrico County, Virginia until they moved to England where she died a year later from small pox.
Gloucester County or Werowocomoco, was the seat of Powhatan's Confederacy of 30 tribes or about 12,000 to 15,000 Native Americans until around 1609. The location of Powhatan's chimney in the area of Wicomico in Gloucester County, was first thought to be the site of Powhatan's seat of power, but has since changed to further north in the county around Ark and Purtan Bay area.
It is hard to pinpoint exact present locations of early American history as land values have changed dramatically throughout time. Counties such as Gloucester were once part of York County which was also a part of James Citti an area that held Jamestown as the seat of government and encompassed land all the way out to West Point and included Williamsburg, Yorktown, Gloucester and others at one time. Present day Mathews county was once a part of Gloucester County. So again, even early Gloucester history is partially skewed by past and present day boundary lines that did not exist in earlier times.
Early history shows that Gloucester was a part of the tobacco trade and plantations flourished throughout the county taking advantage of this lucrative business. Fairfield Plantation was established in 1642 by Lewis Burwell and was a part of the many tobacco plantations of the early colonies. Tobacco back in that era was as good as cash.
1651 – Gloucester County is formed off of York County and established. The county is named after Henry Stuart, Duke of Gloucester, third son of King Charles 1st of Great Britain. Daffodils are planted around the county that later become significant to future history.
1657 – Warner Plantation is established by Augustine Warner, the grandfather of George Washington.
1667 – Fortifications are built at Tyndal Point to serve as a protection location of the York River. Tyndal Point is presently known as Gloucester Point.
1674 – Nathaniel Bacon begins his famous “Rebellion”.
1676 – Nathaniel Bacon burns Jamestown to the ground. He and half his troops run for cover in Gloucester, Virginia while the other half run to nearby Surry, Virginia to hide out. On October 26th he dies of Dysentery in Gloucester County. Where is not known.
1715 – 1773 World renowned botanist John Clayton comes to Gloucester, Virginia with his father from England. He also serves as clerk of the county. Many books today still site his research.
1725 – Mann Page begins Rosewell Plantation in what is presently known as the Rosewell Ruins. The Page family is considered one of the first families of Virginia. Rosewell is considered the most elaborate home ever built in the colonies and was designed to exceed the Governor's Palace that was just built in Williamsburg in every level of luxury and amenities. The home, (now ruins), is of tremendous historical importance in our nation's history. John Page, grandson of Mann Page went to the college of William and Mary in Williamsburg and was close friends with Thomas Jefferson who spent a great deal of time at this site. It is said that early drafts of the Declaration of Independence were created here.
John Page went on to become Governor of Virginia and also served in the American Revolution attaining the rank of colonel. Meetings between John Page, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were a normal occurrence.
1781 – Battle of the Hook takes place here in Gloucester that essentially hinders Lord Cornwallis's escape route from the coming American and French armies. Surrender by the British occurs both in Yorktown and in Gloucester.
1851 – Dr Walter Reed is born here. Dr. Reed is famous as the medical hero who discovered the cause for and cure of Yellow Fever.
1861 – The first shots of the Civil War in Virginia are fired from Gloucester Point. It was well understood that protecting the York River from a northern invasion was very important as the York is an easy access point to Richmond via West Point. A northern ship trying to sail up the York River was fired on and rendered helpless moving over to the York County side of the river staying away from further enemy fire.
1930's and 1940's. Gloucester is named the “Daffodil Capital of America”. Annual festivals are still held each year celebrating this vibrant flower.
1940 – VIMS or the Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences is founded here. Part of the college of William and Mary, VIMS impacts the world with it's research findings and it's work is much sought after around the globe.
1952 – The George P Coleman Bridge is opened to traffic. Rebuilt in record time in 1995 to create more lanes for traffic, this bridge once it was finished was the largest in the world at the time. Today it ranks largest of it's kind in the United States and Second in the world but it's about to become third place. It is a double swing span bridge that extends almost 90 feet above water at it's highest area.
Present day. Gloucester as one can clearly see, has been at the forefront of history that has had great effects on both the nation and the world around us and yet it's all in the background of the history books if mentioned at all. Gloucester continues this great tradition today and who knows what the future holds? If history is a key indicator, then Gloucester will continue it's greatness but maybe, just maybe, no longer in the footnotes of the history books but instead at the front of the history books.
Gloucester County government sponsors events throughout the year celebrating it's great history and now you know what pride exists amongst it's residents.
This brief history will show you how and why.

They are towards the bottom of this site on the right hand side. The time is ticking so make sure you have everything you need before these all important dates. Once Halloween is over we will install one for Thanksgiving. It's all in fun.
Save The Chesapeake Bay! From..... What?
Efforts to save the bay costs all of us money.
The question is, are we actually doing any good?
Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
We here the banter all the time and have plenty of government interference in our lives in very seriously flawed ways in which we are all held responsible for saving the bay. Yes I said we are all held responsible and we are all forced to pay for ways that are said to save the bay. The problem is that these injuries inflicted on us have nothing to do with saving the bay whatsoever and only serve to cause potential serious health issue later on down the road. Something else we will be forced to pay for it's clean up but not until after a serious health crisis ensues. What am I referring to? The watersheds being constructed all over. Every business being put up must build a watershed so that water does not run off the property and potentially contaminate the bay. What a seriously flawed plan that is. You are actually being blamed for nature.
How dare you be born and live on the earth you dirty rotten piece of filth you. It is you that is contaminating the bay just by being alive. A government run amok that very often accuses it's citizens for the ravages of nature or the destruction of corporations on the planet is a well thought out and played plan used against the people all the time. But getting back to the serious flaw of the watersheds is the fact that these watersheds are breeding grounds for bacteria, the kind that cause dysentery and potential death should we try to drink that water. That isn't the worst part. It is also a breeding ground for mosquito's that could very well bring back the dreaded Yellow Fever, bring in malaria and a host of other serious life threatening diseases. What guineas came up with this idea of building watersheds all over was either incredibly nave or horribly guilty of understanding these issues all to well.
Watersheds that prevent run off from land where the bay is potentially poisoned is plain old insane. Run off from land is the least of the problems for the bay. Over a century of industrialization and modernization are more responsible for the bay's ill health than ten thousand years of water run off from the lands. All one has to do is look at the tributaries that feed the bay to see where the real problems are coming from. In today's modern technological world, this is now very easy to do. All one has to do is trace what is along the tributaries to the bay on Google Earth and one will find a plethora of industries producing everything under the sun. There are numerous nuclear power plants along the tributaries, old leather tanneries, chemical plants, and all kinds of manufacturing plants.
Let's look at a close tributary manufacturing plant's contributory impact on the bay. In West Point, Virginia along the York river is a paper manufacturer. Outside the plant are thousands of log trees that have to be chipped down to saw dust in order to create pulp for paper. The chipping of the wood creates a very acidic environment in the water that is extremely intense. Let's examine how this works. If a tree dies or gets knocked down by a storm and falls into a river, there is a slow progress in breaking down the tree into it's organic compounds and only creates a very low acidic level over a long period of time in the water. When a tree is chipped, it's compounds are released much faster and in a more concentrated form. Looked at another way, if you took a sugar cane stalk and dipped the entire stalk into a large bucket of water, only a small amount of it's sweetness would be released into the water over a period of time. The moment you grind up the sugar cane stalk into a powder, you can quickly release much higher levels of sweetness into the water at much faster rates.
The paper plant is creating very high levels of acidity in the water around the plant and that water works it's way all the way down the York river wrecking havoc all along it's path and this river is a tributary to the bay. Now in fairness to the paper plant, I want what they produce and it's products that this plant produces that many people throughout the nation use and may not even realize it. It's a trade off that is part of the process of industrialization and modernization. Yes there are trade offs that must be made. Is it possible to stop any and all organic pollution of wood chips going into the river and causing high levels of acidity on the water that destroys plant and fish life? Yes, but at a cost that no one is willing to pay. A smarter way to offset the acidic conditions the paper plant create is to lime the local area.
Now again, this is only one plant along one tributary feeding into the bay and this one is a mild case where the pollutants are organic. There are other plants along the tributaries that produce synthetic pollutants that are much more destructive. Again, all one has to do is travel along the tributaries using Google Earth to see more than you could ever handle. What you also will learn that even if you built watersheds all over the nation, you have a zero sum chance of ever stopping run off into the tributaries of the bay that have more impact on the bay than those who live along the bay. We should all be concerned? Let's look at present news that are now on the headlines. This article has been in the works for several weeks and now is the best time for us to release it as there is now a major mud problem stemming from the tributaries that are now impacting the bay and will consume the entire bay over the next few weeks.
Run off from properties all along the tributaries of the bay are causing issues that have many concerned for the bay's health. It's called nature. Yeah, let's worry about that. Let's blame all of Virginia and Maryland for the issues of nature and industrialization and modernization. Let's put the costs and blame on the citizenry of these states for the havoc nature and manufacturing plants cause. Let's blame everyone and everything else. The bay is polluted, welcome to the effects of the 19th and 20th centuries on present day life. Over fishing has been a mild contributor but not to the effects blamed. But a bad guy is always needed in every good story and you are it. Welcome to the Green World of Environmentalism. Where you are the problem. Why we are part of the Orange movement and are one hundred percent anti green. The world works from the bottom up, not the top down. You can fool some of the people some of the time. You can not fool all the people all the time. We are not fooled and will continue to blast the insanity that surrounds us. History is replete with revolutions that always start from the bottom and work their way up removing undesired leadership. The new information revolution is alive and growing.
It's time to remove the insane restrictions put upon the people whom live along the bay and it's tributaries and put the blame of it's ill's on the real areas. It's time to stop signing the songs of the Environmentalists who are the biggest environmental polluters. Go orange not green.
On a final note about the watersheds being placed and the issues of growing bacterial concerns. Won't these contaminants run down into people's own wells? If the contaminants do seep into people's well water, who is going to pay for new wells or fixing the issues? Old problems are not being solved, instead new problems and higher costs are being implemented with no answers for the coming issues and impacts of poor planning.
The question is, are we actually doing any good?
Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

Great Time To Avoid Buying A House
Well this post should prove to make a lot of Real Estate professionals very upset with us. You are being sold everywhere that now is the best time ever to buy a house. Interest rates have never been lower. I would rather pay higher interest rates on a property that I know will appreciate than to pay a lower interest rate on a property that will continue to depreciate especially in light of the next market bubble burst that only so called experts will tell you they saw coming after the fact. Yes there will be another bubble burst. It's already under way but gets little to no press coverage at all. After all, everyone still wants your cash.
On average, homes have fallen fifty percent of their value of a 2006 high price point. That's the national average. Prices have yet to fully fall here in this area. Don't fool yourself into thinking they won't despite stories in the press otherwise. Rental prices are at all time highs and continuing to go up as more people continue to get kicked out of their homes. There will be market adjustments in a few years here as well. Most people these days are upside down in their mortgages on their houses. Jobs are still being lost and not replaced at an alarming rate with no fix in site.
Many people are walking away from their houses and letting the banks take the eat the negative balance. Problem here is that the banks are making a profit on these homes and on foreclosures. So it's no nothing to them that you walk away. It's just your credit that takes the bath. The banks can sell these newly acquired homes in the red and still make a profit from them as you the tax payer are already paying these bailout costs. Your crying because of presently proposed tax increases? Who do you think is footing all these bills? They are coming one way or another like it or not.
Smart investors are picking up these houses for pennies on the dollar that is well below a fifty percent reduction in present prices. How long do you think this can go on before it hits the value of your home? It is without question a buyers market and a buyer can easily walk away from any deal or make offers that dramatically call into question the present value of your home and it is. You just do not know it yet. County assessments are artificially inflated to maintain the present tax base otherwise you would be screaming at the new hikes in taxes you are paying now anyway based on the real value of your home.
Want to have some real fun? Challenge your assessment with the county on your present home value. If enough people do this, values will be re done to reflect the actual value of your home and tax hikes will kick in to maintain present levels. Opps, no one else is explaining any of this to you now are they? So again, you must look at all the market forces that make up a homes value, an important one is people with enough income to pay what you are asking. Something that no longer exists as it once did. Jobs that allow enough people to make enough money to buy a home have gone into major decline with no new ones to replace them. So how long do you think it will be before a market correction on present over inflated prices hits and your home value crashes? Well Alice, you can live in dreamland for as long as you want, but you can't escape what is going on around you.
The only way we can see buying a home in the present economy is if one pays cash for it and buys it with the intent on living there and it is a dream house. Otherwise you are going to end up upside down in the home with no hope in sight. This of course is not the news that the real estate brokers want you to read, and they will do everything they can to disprove this storyline or show you the flaws. Use your own common sense and look at the economy around you asking the tough questions, then ignore what the broker has to say unless the broker is retired and has no financial interests in selling you anything.

You are invited to a free dinner at Crystal's Diamond Palace. The catch, you must own your home or must at least be actively and presently looking to buy your first home. Plus you must have an asset portfolio of one hundred thousand dollars and have an additional thirty thousand in cash conversion equivalents. (How else do you expect to pay our fees?) Welcome to the money store jingles raging across the nation. Self proclaimed financial experts implying they know money better than you do. Well at least they know how to get their hands on other people's money better than you do anyway.
If you are a sucker enough to buy into the storyline, you can expect a great night of constant low pressure sales techniques designed to show you how dumb you are and how smart they are. You will be sold on concepts that show you how to part with your money under the guise of making and keeping more of your money and building a sounder nest egg for when you retire. Good luck on that. One recent person we heard was advocating taking your 15 year mortgage and turning it into a thirty year one to free up monthly cash flow. Wait there is more. If you roll your high interest credit card debt and even your car payments that is not tax deductible into the new 30 year mortgage and it now becomes partially tax deductible, you will save a fortune.
Sounds smart huh? Wait there is more, but you have to come to the free dinner to get the entire scoop. Have you figured out the con yet or are you hungry for more? If you are hungry for more, go git yer free dinner. We have freed up over $500.00 monthly cash for one of our clients using this technique alone. (Costing that poor sap a huge fortune). Let's break this down just where we are now and see how you will loose a ton of money on what sounds like a very smart idea. First off, re structuring your mortgage is going to cost money. I don't have to have any financial interests in any mortgage company to make a big fat fee from steering you towards them.
Second, extending any credit, even at longer and lower terms costs more than paying them off sooner. You think buying a house is a wise investment? You bought that house thirty years ago for fifty thousand dollars and now it's worth two hundred and fifty thousand dollars? Smart investment huh? Until you add up all the monthly payments you paid during the lifetime of that mortgage and found out that you paid three hundred and twenty thousand dollars for that two hundred and fifty thousand dollar house. What? You didn't think the bank understood appreciation of assets when they wrote that loan thirty years ago? So you are still upside down in your smart investment. You would have been better off buying that corvette.
A fifteen year loan does not carry as much of an interest bearing burden as a thirty year fixed lower interest loan does. The sooner you get rid of any loan, the better off you are going to be. What is more profitable, a four year twenty five percent loan or a thirty year four percent loan? Answer, a thirty year 4 percent loan is more profitable to the bank and more expensive to you. Higher interests rates are charged for depreciating assets. Lower interest rates are charged for appreciating assets. So rolling over a depreciating asset and refinancing it into an appreciating asset insures the bank against loss while you pay more.
But hey, after paying those refinance fees that just put you deeper into debt, you have more cash to play around with. So now these financial experts are going to show you how to make money with your new found money. (Ah, more finders fees paid to them). You are shown the way to financial freedom and are instructed to cut up all but maybe one of your credit cards. Smart no matter what your situation is. I recommend cutting them all up and not even saving the one. So now you are directed into the investment market. Account setup fees and transaction fees abound. But you are building your nest egg now in sound financial instruments. How smart you have become and how good it's been for you to listen to these folks.
And the choices. Not one when truly researched sound no matter how good they look on paper. Let's look at market portfolios that invest in everything from pork bellies to stocks to bonds. All spread out over an entire array of fields. Cuts the risk. Well, it cuts the risk of the managers, not yours. These portfolios may make a huge amount of money, but by the time everything is cut up and their fees taken out and costs divided up, you are lucky if you stayed just below inflation. Turns out what is on paper is not what actually comes down to you. But now you have more fees to pay that are not covered by your meager profits that eat further at what you are trying to build. Those fees are your account fees and have nothing to do with your investments except where your investments are held. But hey, next years market will be better. And remember, your investment friends can not be held responsible for market corrections that are going to wipe you out next year before you pay more administrative fees to your broker along with account fees.
Your new mortgage in the mean time has been sold several times to other companies that have created derivatives out of it. Your last payment as it turns out went to the wrong company and now you are a month behind on your mortgage and your credit takes a hit. More fees and higher rates because of this. But hey, your investments will pick up the difference. Now that you are in the hole deeper than ever before, at least you had more spending money and still have some of it left over even though you have gotten even deeper into credit debt and are now potentially facing being laid off as your company moves operations overseas. But hey, your a smart perso0n and these strategies came along at a great time, so maybe there is hope for some new strategies. Well I have just the perfect opportunity for you. Turns out there is this bridge in Brooklyn for sale.
So let me just finish by saying that I am more than happy to spend two hundred dollars up front to show you that I am smarter than you with the use of charts and knowing that by the end of the night I have you hooked into bringing me about two thousand dollars in fees all the while selling out your future. Yup, your a pretty smart person for buying into this. By the way, that two hundred dollar dinner only costs me thirty five dollars and I have just structured a deal to pull an additional eight hundred dollars out of one in five that I get on board. Cheers.

Scott Petty With The US Coast Guard Update
We have just learned that Scott Petty with the US Coast Guard, a division of Homeland Security, works in the legal department in Norfolk, Virginia. This is the guy we have been reporting about with all the illegal fireworks and the way he uses them as well as our last report where he tried to pick a fist fight with a female neighbor. Here is a guy that should obviously know better based on the fact he works in the legal department. Apparently this guy thinks he is above the law? This is frightening.

US Coast Guards Scott Petty In The News Again
The above clip is of Scott Petty of the US Coast Guard blowing off illegal fireworks. This is just a partial clip but shows the illegal fireworks going off in his back yard. We have some updates to this story and another one coming soon. First we want to thank Congressman Rob Wittman for stepping up and sending to the Coast Guard our complaint on this guy. We received a letter from Congressman Wittman's office along with a letter from the US Coast Guard informing us that they are now holding an ongoing investigation regarding Scott Petty.
Well our own continuing investigation shows that this guy stoops to some very low levels. I mean really low levels. What we learned. Scott Petty tried to pick a fist fight with one of his neighbors. Okay, no big deal you say? The neighbor is a woman. This woman decided that instead of trying to fight back, she would report him to the Coast Guard. What she got for reporting this guy was backlash from the US Coast Guard. Joseph Sedoti, US Coast Guard RAC, started a harassment campaign against her in the name of a so called investigation. When the woman's husband stepped in a week later, Joseph Sedoti claims he never opened nor was looking to open an investigation.
Wait, the US Coast Guard got involved but had no intention of doing an investigation? This guy harassed a civilian just because he was conducting backlash? Well we have sent this information to Congressman Wittman's office so that he may forward it to the US Coast Guard as part of the ongoing investigations they have against Scott Petty. If you think this is over or that you have seen how low this guy really sinks, you have not seen anything yet. We are finishing up yet another news story on this guy that is even worse than this one.
Scott likes to use and abuse his friends in the wrong places. One such case was sending a police officer to investigate the so called illegal video we did of Scott shooting off illegal fireworks and then giving us permission to show the video to his boss. The police officer was not acting under authority of his boss but instead on his own behalf using his uniform to intimidate. He claimed to have seen the video but yet it was clear he hadn't. This isn't the next story we have for you. It's just one of many sideline stories we have on this guy.
We said it before, this guy is a neighborhood terrorist. Our next story will show you how deep it all goes. Do we really need people like him serving in Homeland Security? That should scare everyone.
Green Cleaning Products You Can Believe In
As any of you whom have been following this site for some time know, we are anti green. So much so that we use the term that we are orange. You have to see our other post on this for further details. With that said, one of our arguments forever and a day has been that most manufacturers that claim to be green or going green are far from green at all. The products still contain harmful chemicals and they ship a lot of water with them which we already have enough of thank you.
Once in a while we actually see a company that has made serious in roads to true green technology and are making products that make sense even to us on the orange side. Two companies come to mind. Amway with it's LOC product also known as Liquid Organic Cleaner, sold in concentrated form where they are not shipping a lot of water and now Shaklee who ships even less water with their new H2 product. http://www.shaklee.com/category.php?main_cat=homecare&sub_cat=GetCleanHousehold&type=sub This is the link to Shaklee's page for their H2 organic cleaning product. We have no connections to Shaklee nor do we want any. We were just very impressed with this offering and it makes true sense. Non toxic. Bio Degradable, highly concentrated, not shipping a bunch of water, multi use product with zero sum side effects.
http://www.amway.com/Shop/Search/SearchResults.aspx?searchkeyword=LOC Now L.O.C. has changed since we were last aware of what it was called, but they still make the same product but have expanded on the product line and now call it Legacy of Clean. The Multi Purpose Cleaner is the one that was always a favorite. Again, we have no ties to Amway and we do not want any either. We can not stand the Multi Level marketing game. Places products cost to high in order to pay everyone out on the various levels. If I wanted to sell these items at retail, the markup on them isn't there to make it worth our time. Selling the items wholesale to any business makes zero sense as then there is no markup at all. You have to sell at your own cost which makes no sense at all.
You may get a bonus at the end of the month because of volume? Big deal, no thanks. These products make sense for what they are and what they do, but for buying them through a network? Again, a pain. I don't want to buy from someone who will try and sell me a lousy business op all the time, or sell me at full retail. I'd rather buy it on line without the hassle of having to deal with any dealers or buy it in a store. So there you have it. If you want green products that make sense and work, you have to deal with a bunch of other stuff you may not be able to stand.
One day maybe someone will get it right. In the mean time, here's to the orange revolution sticking our thumbs down to the green movement.

Affordable Ink Cartridges For HP, Kodak, Lexmark, Epson, Canon And Others
One of the issues that has bothered us as of late is the constant rising costs of ink cartridges without competition to slow the prices. There was a time when you could go into most retailers and find an off brand cartridge for your printer that didn't cost nearly as much as the name brand cost. Most retailers these days have made deals with the manufacturers though to no longer carry the off brand cartridges leaving us no choice but their own high priced offers. Kodak and HP lead the field in the best prices for replacement ink on the market today, but that is not competition. Competition is when there are competing manufacturers of the same product.
So we have done our research and found that Ink Grabber is one of the best deals around to find alternative manufacturers for ink cartridges made by alternative manufacturers for the printer you presently use. A fair enough argument can be made that the off brand manufacturers do not use the same quality inks as the name brand uses, however, it makes little to no difference if you are printing text pages with minimal pictures and will only be using the pages for a short period of time for your work. Now if you are printing say top end pictures that you want to last for years to come, then you may want to consider the higher prices, otherwise why would you bother to spend more for less?
Another alternative that we will mention is that Walgreen's refills ink cartridges for a fair price. However, I rarely find that they can refill the ones we use the most such as Kodak. If they can refill yours, color is usually only $12.00 per cartridge. If you find a better deal on line, buy it on line then.
Again, we like Ink Grabber because they carry an alternative manufacturer for our Kodak ink at a cost of only about $8.00 for a number 10 color ink cartridge as opposed to paying $20.00 retail for Kodak's offer. So we can buy 3 color ink cartridges for slightly more than the cost of 1 from Kodak. We have decided to start advertising Ink Grabber on this site for exactly that reason. So here is to leveling the playing field and starting to tell the world that we want real competition and not forced products at inflated prices.

It Is Now Illegal To Feed Deer In Virginia
As of September 1st, 2011, it has become illegal to feed deer in the state of Virginia. Click Here to see the official state notice. Feeding deer may just harm other species of wildlife according to the state department. In fact, they say that there is movement to see the deer population decrease. Poor Bambi does not have a prayer here. So if you have a bird feeder outside your door and the deer sometimes come over to it to eat the seed, you may now be guilty of breaking the law. According to what we have read, it is alright to kill off deer to save other species of wildlife. ?????
You also can not use feed as bait for hunting deer as that too is a violation of Virginia law. Seems that this is what brought about the present law. Gotta love the people who spend how much money of our tax dollars to come up with this stuff?

Irene Updates, Gloucester, Virginia
Just some quick update news. For the most part Irene was not as bad as it could have been. We have seen much worse. We lost internet access to the site for posting just after we posted the video Saturday. We have tried to get back onto the site for several days but had no luck as servers were still down in numerous areas. Everything seems to be fixed now. A fair amount of trees went down along the main roads and plenty down all over. We heard that the Courthouse area was hit especially hard in relation to Isabelle. We never lost power at the command center. We have traveled all through the Northern Neck and damage overall is minimal. Not to make light of those who have suffered extensive damage to their properties, overall it was minimal for the area as a whole when compared to the damages seen by other storms and this past spring's tornado's.
This year we have seen a number of strange behaviors that are not normal to the area. Massive tornado's and numerous earthquakes. We hope we have seen the worst of the year and that we can now begin to write it all into history. We hope that those of you here in Gloucester get your power back on soon and we have learned that many of you have. There are still a few without lights and we know that this is no fun.

Hurricane Irene Video, Gloucester, VA
Irene is now really starting to pick up strength now here in Gloucester. The winds have picked up quite a bit and in the distance it even sounds like a tornado is hitting. This video was just shot moments ago along route 17 just outside our present command center. Branches are now being pulled off of some of the trees behind and along side of us. Power has been flickering on and off. But still nothing major. Dominion Power trucks are still traveling along 17 so that is a good sign. The worst has not even begun yet. Maybe we were wrong about this storm? It might just be a bit stronger than what we have been expecting.
Nicks Spaghetti And Steak House Open Today Even If Power Goes Out
The folks over at Nick's Spaghetti and Steak House wants everyone to know that they will be open today to serve you even if the power goes out. Good to know should the power go out. A fine menu over at Nick's.
Virginia Dominion Power Trucks On The Road
The winds have picked up again and are now blowing pretty hard. The rain is coming down harder and everything is mostly coming in from a northern direction. While we were outside, we spotted a Dominion Power truck traveling north on 17 so they are out and ready to respond should things get worse. This is a good sign that they are pro active.

Gloucester, VA Links and
News – A GVLN Website.
We cover what no one else
will.
Hampton Roads Brdige Tunnel Closed Due To Weather Today
If you are considering traveling across the river towards Norfolk or VA Beach, you want to take another route than I-64 crossing the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. The bridge tunnel is closed due to the high winds and the storm.
Wal Mart Store Update, Gloucester County
Wal Mart along with a number of other retailers around the area are doing business as normal. The store is open but they are sold out of D batteries and bread at last known report. The majority of the retail stores if not all of them are sold out of D batteries. Other updates show that we are about 8 hours out from the worst part of this storm. Otherwise there is nothing really going on.
Coleman Bridge Update For Today
We checked the updates for the Coleman Bridge and there is nothing news. The bridge is listed as open and conditions are cautionary due to high winds, but otherwise travel is fine.
Gloucester County Mail Delivery Still On Track
We have to hand it to the mail carriers. One just went southbound on 17 delivering mail as usual. The scare of this storm has not at all deterred the mail. Nice to see as it has been our opinion from the start that this would be a none event event from the start. Although we are not making light of the flooding in low lying areas. That part is serious, but the rest is nothing at all on the mainland.
Storm Fully Overhead At 11:00 AM
At 11:00 AM the radar shows that the storm is right over head. Pictures from low lying areas coming in all across the Internet are showing major flooding. Other areas for the most part are fine however. Winds have once again calmed down for this area. Still blowing but nothing at all major.
Wind Gusts Starting To Pick Up
At 10:30 AM the wind gusts are starting to pick up around here. Traffic remains steady along 17 though fairly light for a Saturday. Rain is still about the same at a steady average flow. We are monitoring events around the state and talking with others around the nation now finding that a number of people are very interested on what is taking place.
Hurricane Irene In Gloucester, VA
It's 10:00 AM and we have just finished setting up base at a location we negotiated along route 17. Objective to bring you news throughout the day until power goes out should that actually happen. The rain started at about 3:00 AM with some nice mild winds coming at us, but nothing at all major. At about 7:30 AM the winds and rain had picked up considerably. Still nothing at all alarming. Here at 10:00 AM we have some fair wind gusts and average rain but still nothing that would concern the average person. Plain and simple, we need this rain.
With a state that has already been rocked with an earthquake that is not normal to the area earlier this week, we are now facing what is potentially a strong hurricane. With hurricane's also normally comes tornado's. The earthquake has already produced aftershocks to the tune of 6 total that we are aware of and has caused some damage in northern Virginia. Imagine if we end up with yet another quake in the middle of a hurricane and even have twisters dancing around us as well. The makings of a great disaster movie.
Well I am not at all concerned. I just do not think we are going to get hit with all that much other than some strong winds and much needed rain. If I am wrong, well then we are set up to report on it. We have already shot some footage outside to show nothing other than some vehicles traveling up and down the 17 corridor on a gloomy day with some minor winds and rain. We will get it posted on line before the day is out. We will also be shooting the progression of the storm as it occurs. So be safe and you can keep your eyes on here until power goes out, then we are done bringing you any updates until the power comes back on.

New Design Changes For Gloucester County Links and News
We took the site down for a few days re designing the site. Now it is back up and running and is now a self perpetuating entity. In other words instead of us funding the site year in and year out, it now funds itself. This is now our 4th year serving Gloucester County with this web site. With that said, we recently made some policy changes on what we have been reporting. We will soon be moving those changes to a new site and once again return county news to this site. In our opinion, there is a lot to celebrate here in Gloucester. There are also issues here, but the good outweigh the bad in our opinion. The above picture is from the 7th Virginia Regiment from this past season, May, 2011. A great group that graces us every year sponsored by Gloucester County. One of the many events that are worth celebrating.

Agenda 21, Revisited Part 2
Before we even begin revisiting agenda 21 in Mathews County, let's take a look at what happened over in Kansas City back in May of 2006. Mexico decided to open a customs port in Kansas City with the City council giving all thumbs up. The city council decided to name the operations "Kansas City Customs Port". The cost of the new building was estimated at about $3 million. Kansas City decided that the residents should foot the bill for the building and not Mexico. That was local government. To this day, most of the people of Kansas City have no idea that money was taken from them and used for a Mexican government complex on Mexico's behalf, not ours. Click Here to read another take on this.
All thanks to our new world order. A New World Order that we keep on being told that we all want to see. If that does not make you mad enough, then let's also look at a few other things. According to the US Constitution, it is illegal for a member of Congress, a Senator, Vice President or President to hold dual offices especially any that may be a part of any other government. Well ex Senator Bob Bennett was the honorary president of the TPN, Transatlantic Policy Network, along with 6 other senators and 49 US Congressmen. What is TPN? Put simply an underhanded rogue organization designed to bypass congress and the senate on creating a new level of government between the US and the EU. We have enemies within all around us at every level. By 2015, the TPN is supposed to be announced and made official, a partnership deal between the NAFTA US and the EU. Kissing yet more US jobs goodby.
You have to remember the 21 Protocols of World Domination, everything must be kept secret until it is to late. Agenda 21 all looks very harmless at the start. The EU looked very harmless at the start. None of it is harmless. Once you open the door, you have set a precedence. One that you will not walk away from later.
We will address more of Agenda 21 again soon. In the meanwhile, just keep telling yourself that all this is just fake and it could never happen here.

New Policy Changes
As anyone who has followed this site for any length of time can now clearly see, we are not the same news and links site we once were. We have changed our policy for news and links dramatically and will be continuing down this road for some time to come. Dramatic changes are taking place everywhere and very few are reporting what is really going on. We are changing that. With a US Debt of 65.5 Trillion as of the end of 2008, we have the guts to start showing you what is really going on in the world and will be showing you where your job is going tomorrow and how it will be lost to Global trading. You think it was only the blue collar worker that has suffered? Sorry but those of you in the white collar complex are all next. From lawyers to accountants, technicians to IT people, your jobs are about to be outsourced to India where the labor pool is much cheaper. Same with you engineers and even doctors. H1B Visas will wipe out American born and educated doctors and replace them with doctors from other countries where they will work for much lower wages for a short period of time before going back to their own countries.
Welcome to a One World system. We are about to put up our own tests to see if Globalism is really good for anyone or not. We are now setting up an international concern and will be comparing the results to our regional interests to see which concerns produce stronger results. We will also start to exploit flaws in global trading and report the results that will allow anyone to sidestep retail trade and buy at much lower prices that could kill multinational companies once the word gets out. We have done it in the past ordering from China and bringing in goods through Canada using the Canadian currency and lowering our costs dramatically. Now we are going to see about this same exploit using Mexican currency flaws.
What most of you do not know or understand is that NAFTA is law and in certain area's, does supersede US Law. Knowing this and learning where the flaws lie, one can seriously take advantage of a number of flaws in the laws. You can also manipulate currency trading to your advantage buying at lower levels than you would be able to do otherwise. It's time to level the playing field. $65.5 trillion dollars is nothing to sneeze at and you need to start understanding what this all really means to each and every one of us.
What does 1 trillion dollars look like? If you could spend $1.00 per second, also meaning $86,400.00 per day, it would take you about 3,700 years to spend 1 trillion dollars. The US Government is now running multi-trillion dollar deficits per year now. Gross World Production is only estimated at 53 trillion per year at the end of 2008. Yet at the end of 2008 the US already had a 65.5 trillion dollar deficit. Are you getting the picture yet? How long do you think the US can survive when we are exporting our jobs in the millions per year to other countries and importing millions of illegal aliens each year into our own country who keep taking more and more of our work? Implosion is eminent.
But your not worried are you. Good for you.

Agenda 21, Mathews County, VA - Revisited, Part 1
Agenda 21, Mathews County, VA Revisited
The Gloucester Mathews Gazette-Journal dated August 4th, 2011 is loaded with factors straight out of the 21 Protocols for world domination. Agenda 21 arguments throughout the paper are perfect examples. Tricia Stall, Andrew Maggard, Dewitt Edwards, Sue Long and Dave Knight complained in the paper that the U.N. May be controlling local government in Mathews county. In the editorial section Andrew Maggard and Jim Renner, both argued different positions on this. What was sad is that the above 5 (Jim Renner not included), were made to just about look foolish in their contentions when in fact they are right on the money. Only issue the 5 failed to point out is that it's a long term goal, not an immediate one.
The arguments are that the U.N. through various policies and laws on Environment and Development are clandestine laws designed to eventually divest Americans of their property rights and establish an international government. If you will scroll down a number of postings you will want to read the 21 Protocols of world domination. Reprinted below is Protocol number 11.
11.)“We have invented this whole policy and insinuated it into the minds of the masses to obtain in a roundabout way what is unattainable by the direct road. It is this which has served as the basis for our organization of secrecy which is not known to, and aims which are not even so much as suspect by, these cattle, (You), attracted by us into the 'Show' in order to throw dust in the eyes of their fellows.”
Jim Renner argues that, “Short-term profits do not justify long-term loss”, and argues socialistic propaganda mother earth sustainability is the only way to go and that you do not have the right to poison your own property, (Well according to the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights, yes you do. However, should you harm others in doing so through flow out, you have the responsibility of compensating and cleaning those poisons). Below is Protocol 17. Jim is a product of Protocol 14. We are not blaming Jim for his position, he has bought the new religion hook, line and sinker which he will surely argue. The new religion is the environment and climate change.
17.)“In our program one - third of the masses will keep the rest under observation from a sense of duty, on principle of volunteer service to the state. It will be no disgrace to be a spy and informer, but a merit. How else are we to increase disorders?
14.)“It will be undesirable for us that there should exist any other religion than ours. We must therefore sweep away all other forms of belief.”
Jim further argues that Global Warming and Climate change are accepted facts by the Scientific community. He says Google it. He could not find any opinions to the contrary. Jim didn't look very hard. We can easily bury him for the rest of his life with proof to the contrary. All from Google searches. He also has not seen all the lawsuits against the many who keep lying about Global Warming such as Al Gore? Shame on you Jim. That's just Protocol 17 hard at work here.

News Reporter Botches Lines Before Event Occurs
Here you will hear a reporter botching his lines on a pre planned event. Are you starting to get the message on the 21 Protocols yet?
Documentary On How Media Lies To Manipulate Us
This is a 1995 documentary that sheds some light on the 21 Protocols story on this site. Here you will see how news is manipulated and candidates are knocked out because they are not part of the order. Also on how certain people within the religious leadership are actually part of the Christian demise.
Milk, It Does A Body Good?
Watch the video first. Milk in and of itself is not the problem. The way that it is processed and sent to stores is. Raw milk handled properly in a clean environment by cows reared on proper farms without hormones and antibiotics have proven wonders to human health. Pasteurize it and even worse, homogenize it and you still have a disaster on your hands, before even worrying about all the other stuff added like hormones and antibiotics.

The 21 Protocols Of World Domination
The 21 Protocols of World Domination
What you are about to read you are welcome to dismiss as nonsense, however, keep in mind that the following document is over 100 years old and has been used successfully in many countries around the world and is in full use here now. There are a few updates to this document to accommodate modern technologies. This document has been shown time and time again around the world and wars have resulted from it. It is used to both take over entire nations as well as to be the culprit behind war. So it is with a double edged sword that this document even be re printed here now. If anything, it explains world conditions now and in times to come. These are the protocols of the secret societies that run the world from behind their own iron curtains. Their failures only come about by the powers of other secret societies that come in and block the other in a battle of control. You are just the pawns of a much larger picture.
The Protocol Plan
1.) The Protocol plan “will remain invisible until the moment when it has gained such strength that no cunning can any longer undermine it.” (We are about there now)
2.) “Wars, so far as possible, should not result in territorial gains” (Other than Israel name one war that resulted in a territorial gain over the past 100 years)
3.) “Minds of the masses must be diverted toward industry and trade. Thus, all nations will be swallowed up in pursuit of gain....and
4.) “Will not take note of their common foe.”
5.) “We shall create an intensified centralization of government.”
6.) “We must develop a super government by representing it as the Protector and Benefactor of all those who voluntarily submit....and we shall soon begin to establish huge monopolies.”(Exxon, Toys R Us, 7-11 any form of chain)
7.) “The intensification of armaments, the increase of police forces in all the states of the world, besides ourselves, only the masses of the proletariat, a few billionaires devoted to our interests, police and soldiers.”
8.) “We shall put government power in the hands of persons whose past and reputations are such that between them and the people lies an abyss, persons who in case of disobedience to our instructions, must face criminal charges.” (Recent - Congressman Weiner, opposed movements in Israel).
9.) “We have fooled, bemused and corrupted the youth of the masses by rearing them in principles and theories which are known to us to be false.” (Oil shortages and recycling to name a few).
10.) “We shall destroy among the masses the importance of the family and it's educational value.”
11.) “We have invented this whole policy and insinuated it into the minds of the masses to obtain in a roundabout way what is unattainable by the direct road. It is this which has served as the basis for our organization of secrecy which is not known to, and aims which are not even so much as suspect by, these cattle, (You), attracted by us into the 'Show' in order to throw dust in the eyes of their fellows.”
12.) “What is the part of the press today? It serves selfish ends. It is often vapid, unjust, mendacious and the majority of the public have not the slightest idea what ends the press really serves. We shall saddle and bridle it with a tight curb. Not a single announcement will reach the public without our control.”
13.) “The need for daily bread forces the masses to keep silent and be our humble servants in order that the masses themselves may not guess what they are about we further distract them with amusements, games, pastimes, passions, TV, movies and more. Soon we shall begin through the press to propose competitions in art and in sports of all kinds.”
14.) “It will be undesirable for us that there should exist any other religion than ours. We must therefore sweep away all other forms of belief.”
15.) “When we at last come into our kingdom by aid of coups d'etat prepared everywhere for one and the same day we shall see that against us such things as plots shall no longer exist. With this purpose we shall slay without mercy all who take arms in hand to oppose our coming. Anything like a secret society will also be punishable with death.”
16.) “Freedom of conscience has been declared everywhere, so that now only years divide us from the moment of the complete wrecking of that Christian religion. As to other religions we shall have less difficulty in dealing with them.
17.) “In our program one - third of the masses will keep the rest under observation from a sense of duty, on principle of volunteer service to the state. It will be no disgrace to be a spy and informer, but a merit. How else are we to increase disorders?
18.) “Sedition – mongering is nothing more than the yapping of a lap-dog at an elephant. In order to destroy the prestige of hero-ism.
19.) “For political crime we shall send it for trial in a category of thieving, murder and every kind of abominable and filthy crime. Public opinion will then brand it with the same contempt.
20.) “Until dissenters commit some overt act, we shall not lay a finger on them but only introduce into our midst observation elements.
21.) “We shall through general taxation, the lawful confiscation of all sums of money, through every kind of regulation, increase the taxes on property, income tax, sales tax, inheritance tax, transfer of money tax, and other forms of taxes and tolls through any and all means. Economic crises have been produced by us by no other means than the withdrawal of money from circulation.
Further, the goal of world domination will be accomplished by controlling how the public thinks by controlling what you hear, by creating conflicts or restoring old orders, by spreading hunger, destitution and plague, by seducing and distracting youth. By all these methods we shall so wear down the nations that they will be forced to offer us world domination.
Only problem is, even when you are finished giving them everything, you will find out that you are not finished until you are dead, along with your children. So go ahead and continue to enjoy those sports games, those video games and movies, the evening news and then a day at work. All the while you are part of the plan of your own destruction.
The so called destruction of the USSR is an illusion as is the rising power of China. The destruction of the USA is well underway and almost complete. World domination is close at hand and all the while you have no clue whatsoever. At this point can it be halted? Probably not. At best it can be slowed down until the powers that be figure out how they are being defeated only to institute new counter plans.
The slow down plan. Stop buying from monopolies. Buy your foods from local farmers. Stop buying videos, going to movies, paying for TV and or even watching TV. Get rid of your cell phone unless it is your only form of communications. Scale back from smart phones to just plain cell phones. Stop supporting newspapers and magazines. Stop paying any kind of money for watching and or attending sporting events. Never use toll roads unless no other choice is available. Stop recycling. Realize your employer does not have your best interests at heart. If possible, start your own business. Buy from small independent stores whenever possible. Do everything to lower any and all tax burdens. Stop following fashion trends. They are only designed to remove your money from you. Buy cloths and other goods only when they go on extreme sale.
Buy used but good quality goods whenever possible to remove tax burdens and over payment to monopolies. Lower your insurance to bare minimum requirements at all levels. Get rid of every credit card and get rid of all debit cards. Only use cash. Do not buy a house unless you can pay cash for it. Pay no interest on anything. Start asking the tough questions before you elect an official. See if the person you seek to elect is aware of the 21 protocols and if they have a plan to defeat it. Otherwise you are complicit in your own end. This is only a small list of what you can do now. You will not accomplish the list over night. But with some hard work and realizations, you can put a major crimp in the plans of the secret governments of the world who have no interest in you at all. Distribute this information to as many people as possible going forward. Most will not believe it as they are to brainwashed to conceive it. Most of all, get rid of your banker at all costs as well as any brokers. They will continue to remove your money from you at a very fast pace.
What will the leaders do to stop this? They will outlaw the sale of used goods. They will make it a crime to sell food from anywhere other than one of their own stores, remember this is for your own safety and well being. They will make banking mandatory. They will make paying for TV programing mandatory, (Already under way), and can even make the purchase of some form of print media mandatory. Religion is falling and even the religious leaders are complicit in their own demise. Remember, you are cattle and you will be herded like such. So remember, this is all nonsense and could never happen here. More like the makings of a good book of intrigue.
What you are about to read you are welcome to dismiss as nonsense, however, keep in mind that the following document is over 100 years old and has been used successfully in many countries around the world and is in full use here now. There are a few updates to this document to accommodate modern technologies. This document has been shown time and time again around the world and wars have resulted from it. It is used to both take over entire nations as well as to be the culprit behind war. So it is with a double edged sword that this document even be re printed here now. If anything, it explains world conditions now and in times to come. These are the protocols of the secret societies that run the world from behind their own iron curtains. Their failures only come about by the powers of other secret societies that come in and block the other in a battle of control. You are just the pawns of a much larger picture.
The Protocol Plan
1.) The Protocol plan “will remain invisible until the moment when it has gained such strength that no cunning can any longer undermine it.” (We are about there now)
2.) “Wars, so far as possible, should not result in territorial gains” (Other than Israel name one war that resulted in a territorial gain over the past 100 years)
3.) “Minds of the masses must be diverted toward industry and trade. Thus, all nations will be swallowed up in pursuit of gain....and
4.) “Will not take note of their common foe.”
5.) “We shall create an intensified centralization of government.”
6.) “We must develop a super government by representing it as the Protector and Benefactor of all those who voluntarily submit....and we shall soon begin to establish huge monopolies.”(Exxon, Toys R Us, 7-11 any form of chain)
7.) “The intensification of armaments, the increase of police forces in all the states of the world, besides ourselves, only the masses of the proletariat, a few billionaires devoted to our interests, police and soldiers.”
8.) “We shall put government power in the hands of persons whose past and reputations are such that between them and the people lies an abyss, persons who in case of disobedience to our instructions, must face criminal charges.” (Recent - Congressman Weiner, opposed movements in Israel).
9.) “We have fooled, bemused and corrupted the youth of the masses by rearing them in principles and theories which are known to us to be false.” (Oil shortages and recycling to name a few).
10.) “We shall destroy among the masses the importance of the family and it's educational value.”
11.) “We have invented this whole policy and insinuated it into the minds of the masses to obtain in a roundabout way what is unattainable by the direct road. It is this which has served as the basis for our organization of secrecy which is not known to, and aims which are not even so much as suspect by, these cattle, (You), attracted by us into the 'Show' in order to throw dust in the eyes of their fellows.”
12.) “What is the part of the press today? It serves selfish ends. It is often vapid, unjust, mendacious and the majority of the public have not the slightest idea what ends the press really serves. We shall saddle and bridle it with a tight curb. Not a single announcement will reach the public without our control.”
13.) “The need for daily bread forces the masses to keep silent and be our humble servants in order that the masses themselves may not guess what they are about we further distract them with amusements, games, pastimes, passions, TV, movies and more. Soon we shall begin through the press to propose competitions in art and in sports of all kinds.”
14.) “It will be undesirable for us that there should exist any other religion than ours. We must therefore sweep away all other forms of belief.”
15.) “When we at last come into our kingdom by aid of coups d'etat prepared everywhere for one and the same day we shall see that against us such things as plots shall no longer exist. With this purpose we shall slay without mercy all who take arms in hand to oppose our coming. Anything like a secret society will also be punishable with death.”
16.) “Freedom of conscience has been declared everywhere, so that now only years divide us from the moment of the complete wrecking of that Christian religion. As to other religions we shall have less difficulty in dealing with them.
17.) “In our program one - third of the masses will keep the rest under observation from a sense of duty, on principle of volunteer service to the state. It will be no disgrace to be a spy and informer, but a merit. How else are we to increase disorders?
18.) “Sedition – mongering is nothing more than the yapping of a lap-dog at an elephant. In order to destroy the prestige of hero-ism.
19.) “For political crime we shall send it for trial in a category of thieving, murder and every kind of abominable and filthy crime. Public opinion will then brand it with the same contempt.
20.) “Until dissenters commit some overt act, we shall not lay a finger on them but only introduce into our midst observation elements.
21.) “We shall through general taxation, the lawful confiscation of all sums of money, through every kind of regulation, increase the taxes on property, income tax, sales tax, inheritance tax, transfer of money tax, and other forms of taxes and tolls through any and all means. Economic crises have been produced by us by no other means than the withdrawal of money from circulation.
Further, the goal of world domination will be accomplished by controlling how the public thinks by controlling what you hear, by creating conflicts or restoring old orders, by spreading hunger, destitution and plague, by seducing and distracting youth. By all these methods we shall so wear down the nations that they will be forced to offer us world domination.
Only problem is, even when you are finished giving them everything, you will find out that you are not finished until you are dead, along with your children. So go ahead and continue to enjoy those sports games, those video games and movies, the evening news and then a day at work. All the while you are part of the plan of your own destruction.
The so called destruction of the USSR is an illusion as is the rising power of China. The destruction of the USA is well underway and almost complete. World domination is close at hand and all the while you have no clue whatsoever. At this point can it be halted? Probably not. At best it can be slowed down until the powers that be figure out how they are being defeated only to institute new counter plans.
The slow down plan. Stop buying from monopolies. Buy your foods from local farmers. Stop buying videos, going to movies, paying for TV and or even watching TV. Get rid of your cell phone unless it is your only form of communications. Scale back from smart phones to just plain cell phones. Stop supporting newspapers and magazines. Stop paying any kind of money for watching and or attending sporting events. Never use toll roads unless no other choice is available. Stop recycling. Realize your employer does not have your best interests at heart. If possible, start your own business. Buy from small independent stores whenever possible. Do everything to lower any and all tax burdens. Stop following fashion trends. They are only designed to remove your money from you. Buy cloths and other goods only when they go on extreme sale.
Buy used but good quality goods whenever possible to remove tax burdens and over payment to monopolies. Lower your insurance to bare minimum requirements at all levels. Get rid of every credit card and get rid of all debit cards. Only use cash. Do not buy a house unless you can pay cash for it. Pay no interest on anything. Start asking the tough questions before you elect an official. See if the person you seek to elect is aware of the 21 protocols and if they have a plan to defeat it. Otherwise you are complicit in your own end. This is only a small list of what you can do now. You will not accomplish the list over night. But with some hard work and realizations, you can put a major crimp in the plans of the secret governments of the world who have no interest in you at all. Distribute this information to as many people as possible going forward. Most will not believe it as they are to brainwashed to conceive it. Most of all, get rid of your banker at all costs as well as any brokers. They will continue to remove your money from you at a very fast pace.

They will make it a crime to sell food from anywhere other than one of their own stores, remember this is for your own safety and well being. They will make banking mandatory. They will make paying for TV programing mandatory, (Already under way), and can even make the purchase of some form of print media mandatory. Religion is falling and even the religious leaders are complicit in their own demise. Remember, you are cattle and you will be herded like such. So remember, this is all nonsense and could never happen here. More like the makings of a good book of intrigue.

It also seems that the command over at the Coast Guard could care less. So we have submitted a new round of complaints including up to Congressman Rob Wittman's office and have sent the story now to some of the national news papers. Let's see if the story has any national interest.
