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.

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.

US Coast Guard Member Breaking Virginia Laws Round 5
So now the threats continue to come in over the video and it is Scott's friends that are making them. One has identified himself as a member of the Coast Guard who has made the latest threat. 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.

US Coast Guard Member Breaking Virginia Laws Round 4
Scott Petty and his friends up to new tricks trying to intimidate us. Last night Scott Petty had a party over at his house that went on well past midnight. We could tell as they were out in the back yard yelling all night. We were sitting outside trying to enjoy the night. Now we have a new round of posts on the You Tube video that try to defend Scott and also try to belittle us. Well sorry guys, your little ploy didn't work. You made it very clear that you all know Scott and the posts were all closely timed together. Your putting yourself close to a person who has obviously broken a number of laws and now is asking for help to get out of the trouble he is in. It was also obvious from each poster that not one of them read the sub titles in the video or just didn't care.
If you guys want to tie yourself into someone who is now under investigation for illegal activities, it's your career's. Time for a new round of complaints to be sent out across the board.

This Weekend IsThe Gloucester County Renaissance Festival , July 16 & 17, 2011
Okay everyone. It's once again time for the Gloucester Renaissance Fest. It's here this weekend and these folks know how to put on a great show. We are looking forward to the new acts as well as the usual acts. So you all there.
US Coast Guard Member Breaking Virginia Laws Round 3
So now Scott Petty is threatening a law suit. Well first off I wish him luck finding any attorney dumb enough to take on a frivolous lawsuit. The fines the attorney will get hit with are not worth the consideration. Second, the counter suit of 1st Amendment suppression, something he is sworn to uphold and protect, would be forthcoming and I am being nice. But again let's re look at the video, he gave his full permission to post and show the video. Now what we still have not covered yet is the illegal storage of illegal fireworks and the illegal transportation of said fireworks. A question that the US Coast Guard must look into is how did he come about these illegal explosives and did he acquire them while on duty? Did he use the US Coast Guard to carry and transport illegal explosives for his own use? Did he use the Coast Guard to break numerous state laws by bringing these fireworks into the state? Trained in terrorism, is he bringing his training home and using it against others? I have interviewed a few of his neighbors who hate him for many reasons.
Again I will point out, if he is willing to violate a number of state laws, what else is he willing to violate while on the job? One has to ask.

Local Coast Guard Member Seen Here Breaking Laws Round 2
Life is so interesting. So far I have been contacted by the US Coast Guard in regards to the video, and I mention this as there is a question about it, I shot. Yup. Not hiding anything or behind anyone. I shot and produced the video. There also seems to be a question about whether the fireworks in the video are legal. One's that are classified as explosives, as seen in the first section of the video, are. So for those of you who are questioning this, let me post the law right here for you. Link 1 Link 2 Link 3 Link 4
Now this is just to get you started. These are the links for you to do your own research instead of just taking my word for it. Want to have some fun? Try sending a firecracker through the mail. See if you do not go to jail. Unless you hide it in the middle of something, your going to go to jail for it.
Try sending the firecracker through UPS or FedEx. You have a better chance of getting it through, but you still risk going to jail for it. Go to any of the web sites where they sell explosive fireworks. States that are good for this are South Carolina and Florida. They won't send them to you. It's illegal to send them into Virginia. Have any of you ever stopped at the fireworks stands here in Gloucester? They can't sell you nor do they carry fireworks that explode. Why? Because they are illegal. Another question that has come up, seems Scott is now mad as hell about this video and is not going to take it. Wait, did you see the video? He gave his permission for me to post the video and to show it to his boss. Now I must confess, I have no idea who his boss is so I sent the video link everywhere all the way up to Congressman Wittman's office.
I figured someone in higher positions would know who his boss was and get it to that person. Now I have nothing against the military at any level. I have shot plenty of video of the US Army bands, Air Force bands and the like and fully support them in fact these videos produce thousands of hits. Someone somewhere through my grapevine told me that some officials are calling the video, illegal. I spent 5 years as a right hand para legal to one of the top litigation attorney's in the nation in New York. I have a pretty darn good idea of what is legal and what isn't and I am not intimidated.
Let's go a step further. Let's declare every Friday night, fireworks night down at the Gloucester Point Beach. All explosive fireworks are highly encouraged. How long do you think it will be before there is an accident on the Coleman bridge and all kinds of people will be charged with all kinds of legal violations? Wait, there are officials in this county saying that the explosive type of fireworks seen in my video are legal. So why should there be any legal charges? It's common sense here folks. No explosive fireworks at the beach please. You will probably be arrested and charged. And for those officials making that claim? Please keep in mind that you never know who you are talking to in Gloucester and or who might be listening. I see and hear a lot more than you think. It does not make it on here, and let's keep it that way.

Local Coast Guard Member Seen Here Breaking Laws
Local Coast Guard member, Scott Petty is seen here committing illegal acts. Says he is fine if we show everyone this video. So here it is. Scott Petty has been blowing off illegal fireworks from his backyard over into his neighbor's yards for years causing all kinds of problems and he knows the problems he has been causing. Reported many times about his constant bombardment over neighbor's properties, nothing to date has been done about it. Well we expect that is going to change as he also threatens the life and well being of my own family at this point. We have sent this video to Homeland Security, Congressman Rob Wittman, A top admiral of the US Coast Guard, and several members of our local board of supervisors. We do not need local terrorists in our community that hide under the guise of US Coast Guard members. If he is willing to break multiple laws here at home, how well is he protecting our shores? Can you say, "For a fee I can look the other way and pretend I didn't see those drugs and guns"?
He has compromised himself to where he can now be blackmailed due to his many now public breaches of the laws that we are all bound by. Would you even trust him as a desk jockey at this point? He could even be a risk for that job if anything remotely sensitive even comes through the office. For a fee that paper work might just go away or forever be lost? Okay, let's be fair here. Fireworks violations are a slap on the wrist and I have a zero sum issue with fireworks. I do have issues with them when they are used in a terrorist manner however, and that is the real story here.

New Window Pane Murals Are Here
We have developed something rather new and unique. We call them window pane murals. We take an image and split it up using a number of highly specialized programs and then frame the pictures to create one mural. The results give the illusion that you are looking out a window. The above picture is of Walter Reed Birthplace. This is a mini mural that measures about 15x23 inches. We can create panes and murals up to 16 feet by 20 feet with any size picture without loosing any clarity. Imagine putting a window anywhere you want with any view you want. We are developing these for the following markets, museums, hotels/motels, restaurants, businesses, commercial, ad agencies and of course your home when you are ready for something fun and different.
Just e-mail us at the bottom of this site for more details.
Art Galleries of Yorktown, VA
Part of our missions statement has always been that we support the arts and the art of living here at TTC Media. Now we are part of the art community. We have a few pieces of our work in Yorktown at the Yorktown Hall art Gallery and are looking into adding pieces in some of the art shows that the Gallery On The York holds periodically. We are also talking to the fine folks over in Kilmarnock at the art gallery there to include some of our work. We have been shooting pictures for years and we have over 100,000 images that we work with and ever growing. If you have not been to any of these art galleries, we highly recommend them. Only a short distance from here and a great way to spend a day.
Gloucester County Exclusive Print and Postcards Now Available
We have designed a new Gloucester County Print and have created a series of Postcards of Gloucester County. The print comes in various sizes from 8x10 matted and framed to 20x30 framed. These are actual photo lab prints for the larger sizes. The smaller sizes are being produced in one of our local studios. The postcards are a total of 20 different cards for series 1 also produced in one of local studios.
No one has stepped up to the plate to create collectibles for travelers and tourists through Gloucester County on any major scale. So we decided to step up and fill that need. Tourists are looking for little things such as postcards or prints that reminds them of their trip through Gloucester. Postcards and prints gives them just what they are looking for. Plus we have developed an entire series of prints of hot spots from around the county that can be proudly displayed in any business or even sold at local businesses. We will soon be traveling throughout the county showing off these new items as well as items under development. These items foster customer loyalty, repeat business and word of mouth future business. Can we afford to turn our backs on that?
Plus we can also custom create or assign from our own archives, specialty postcards and or prints. We are also developing a special art cards collection too. You can e-mail us at the bottom of this site if you would like to know about this sooner than we are able to find you in our travels.

Virginia State Police Violate Freedom of The Press
During a recent stop along the side of the road to take pictures for a news story on a tornado that devastated Page Middle school here in Gloucester, we encountered a very rude State trooper. It's one thing to move traffic along, it's another thing to demand that someone trying to do a job move now. We were out of the way and off the road of traffic. When we tried to explain to this trooper who we were and why we were there, he had no time to hear it. We were just demanded to move. Now we fully respect the tough jobs these folks do for us day in and day out. We respect the uniform. We DO NOT respect being treated like sheep especially when no emergency was in place and we were NOT blocking traffic and we were trying to do a job. He interfered with freedom of the press. A violation of the bill of rights of this great nation.
There was no courtesy whatsoever. Are we paying tax money to be treated like sheep here in Virginia? To have our rights violated instead of our rights being protected? We continue to see this more and more. We normally do not watch television, but on a recent stint we watched an episode of COPS. On that show were multiple violations of the bill of rights we are born with in this country. Are we so quick these days to surrender our rights or have our rights been usurped? Have we become the USSof A? (United Socialist States of America). When do we say stop? Enough is enough? How are our police forces being trained these days? We really want to know and we want to film it and show the world. So if we are treated with great disrespect, what is going to happen if we are in real trouble and need to call on our police? Do we question the idea? In court we are told we can not take the law into our own hands. On the streets we are shown that we can not count on those sworn to protect and serve? Where is justice? Have the state police come to the level of Judge Dread? We should hope that this is not the case. We rarely have issues or dealings with the police at any level. We live quite lives overall. So making assumptions based on limited exposure is not 100% fair, but this story based on unfair treatment still needs to be posted.
We are NOT seeking an apology nor would we ever dream that one would be forthcoming. We just expect more respect from those out there that are in place to serve us, not command us like sheep. Enough said.

Kodak Looses It's Edge In Printer Wars
Kodak states that they offer the lowest printer ink replacement costs in the industry. Well that has become a slight of hand move at this point as their costs on ink have risen considerably over the past 6 months and continues to rise on a regular basis. Yes the cost of their ink is still slightly lower than their main competitor, HP, but only by a couple of dollars. Why we say that it's slight of hand is because you can buy a comparable HP printer that will produce better quality prints for much less money than a Kodak. The cost difference more than offsets the difference in ink costs between the two companies. We have been using Kodak printers for the past three years exclusively. Prior to that, we used mainly HP printers and have used printers from all of the manufacturers with the exception of Brother. HP has always won our picture print wars in the most stringent tests even comparing their prints to Kodak and Fuji photo labs. HP has either won or tide against Fuji photo labs but always beat everyone else. (We still maintain all our prints from our public tests). We have never found Epson to win any test and Canon is a great competitor but their costs are still to high and we do not like their deceiving Green advertising.
Grant you, we have real issues with Kodak, we have had very bad experiences with their customer service and consider it worthless. We like their top end point and shoot camera's but find the competition to produce better products. We still own Kodak's first printer made for the recent industry wars but it no longer works that well. We are actually on our third printer from Kodak and the quality overall is average. The prints are outstanding, it's the durability that comes into play. We still have numerous HP printers that still work as well as the day we bought them 5 years ago. As you can see, we are unable to say this about Kodak printers. Our next printer? Sorry Kodak, we are back to HP. Our next top end point and shoot? Canon is the clear winner for us. Even in the camera wars, at some point we have owned them all. Our choices are Canon, Fuji and Nikon. We will give Sony camera's their due, but they do not lend themselves to what we demand. Just about all cameras are made in China except Canon. At least the top end Canon's are still made in Japan with top notch manufacturing that you can count on.

TTC MIA?
Well we have been MIA for a few months as we have moved and opened a new studio to boot. We have a lot to post and have steadily been writing articles but have not had the time to get them posted. This is now changing. We are back and will soon start flooding the site once again.
Education, The Next Revolution and Evolution
Some months ago we started a series on eduction. We left off with what we envision as the next evolution and next revolution in education. It started with a conversation with a very close and dear friend in Philadelphia working on a part of what will become the next revolution and evolution in education. My friend has proposed that camera's be put into city schools in an effort to limit and or control both the amount of violence and deaths going on in that city's schools. My concerns on this are the invasion of privacy issues in such a move. He held fast to his position and was trying to sell me on the idea that anyone could log onto a web site and check in on their son or daughter in the classroom and see what was going on. That's when it struck me. This is a potential educational tool. The ability to log into a classroom and view everything that is going on? The implications are nothing short of amazing when you look at the big picture.
As we went into these discussions, we came up with the idea that children could go home with a CD or DVD of the days major lessons as they were recorded during that day. Major changes on how one could go about preparing for one's homework or test. Then we came up with that should someone miss a day or two of school, they could always catch up by getting the video for that day and viewing it at home. The talks kept growing as to the many ways that video in the classrooms and the schools could benefit everyone. In talking with a friend in the social services sector about this, the concepts were very sound. What does one do with children on suspension or those that have been kicked out of school? How do they further their education? What of those who are severely sick or incapacitated? Could they benefit by logging onto a school web site and learning the lessons on line?
In this modern day of rising prices, cost cutting, cut backs and ever increasing fuel prices, would it make sense to start having classes in the home? The amount of days a student now goes to school is being cut down to it's bare minimum to address these costs now. Well let's look at the real potential here. There is no reason why we can't take the best of the best teachers from around the country and have them teaching students over the Internet while the children are home. Questions can be saved for a few days of school each week or each month that can not be addressed on line. Other teachers can be on standby at home for student questions or extra instructions where needed. The amount of teachers required nationwide can be dramatically decreased. Schools can be closed most of the school week or month cutting transportation costs, electric, heat / air conditioning, and food expenses as well. Payrolls would also be dramatically cut as well as benefits for teachers.
The quality and consistency of education can be brought up to all new levels at the same time. We would be able to use the absolute best of the best teachers to educate all of our children. This would require a major new investment in our Internet infrastructure which we need in this country anyway. Areas not marked for present and or future improvement would now get all the latest updates. The costs for increasing this infrastructure are easily offset by the savings in reduced educational and related expenses. I can hear all the teachers and those who depend on their living through the educational system screaming now as most of your jobs would be lost. Well there are plenty of jobs in other fields no? Welcome to the future. There is no reason not to go this route as the only arguments will come from those who will be displaced from their present jobs. The proposals have already been submitted in Pennsylvania. And now they are also entered here. So spread the word.

Major changes on how one could go about preparing for one's homework or test. Then we came up with that should someone miss a day or two of school, they could always catch up by getting the video for that day and viewing it at home. The talks kept growing as to the many ways that video in the classrooms and the schools could benefit everyone. In talking with a friend in the social services sector about this, the concepts were very sound. What does one do with children on suspension or those that have been kicked out of school? How do they further their education? What of those who are severely sick or incapacitated? Could they benefit by logging onto a school web site and learning the lessons on line?
In this modern day of rising prices, cost cutting, cut backs and ever increasing fuel prices, would it make sense to start having classes in the home? The amount of days a student now goes to school is being cut down to it's bare minimum to address these costs now. Well let's look at the real potential here. There is no reason why we can't take the best of the best teachers from around the country and have them teaching students over the Internet while the children are home. Questions can be saved for a few days of school each week or each month that can not be addressed on line. Other teachers can be on standby at home for student questions or extra instructions where needed. The amount of teachers required nationwide can be dramatically decreased. Schools can be closed most of the school week or month cutting transportation costs, electric, heat / air conditioning, and food expenses as well. Payrolls would also be dramatically cut as well as benefits for teachers.
The quality and consistency of education can be brought up to all new levels at the same time. We would be able to use the absolute best of the best teachers to educate all of our children. This would require a major new investment in our Internet infrastructure which we need in this country anyway. Areas not marked for present and or future improvement would now get all the latest updates. The costs for increasing this infrastructure are easily offset by the savings in reduced educational and related expenses. I can hear all the teachers and those who depend on their living through the educational system screaming now as most of your jobs would be lost. Well there are plenty of jobs in other fields no? Welcome to the future. There is no reason not to go this route as the only arguments will come from those who will be displaced from their present jobs. The proposals have already been submitted in Pennsylvania. And now they are also entered here. So spread the word.
Orange, The Color of The Anti Green Movement. Treaties of Common Sense
Reduce, reuse, recycle. The mantra of those who have never taken the time to question the validity of what they regurgitate. The first question to ask is, “if recycling is such a great idea, how come it has not been practiced throughout history”? Why have not our forefathers taught us the wisdom of recycling? The answer is very simple. It's not a sound idea nor is it sound practice. In fact, recycling costs more than raw materials. Much more. Keep in mind that when you go to the store and look at a ream of paper. Recycled paper costs much more than regular paper. Why? The government offers all kinds of incentives and tax breaks for companies that produce recycled goods. Tax money is given to corporations to finance part of the operations. The government does NOT do this with companies producing the same goods that use raw materials, so recycled goods should be by far cheaper. But they are not. In fact, producing goods from previously used materials is considerably more expensive and uses much more resources than producing goods from raw materials.
Wait. Producing goods from previously used materials uses more resources? Yes they do. If more resources are being used to produce goods from used materials as opposed raw materials, then how sound is the practice and how green is it really? Are we being duped? That depends on who you ask. Ask those with a financial interest in duping you and the answer is of course no. My own children kept coming home regurgitating the mantra of reduce, reuse and recycle. So I took them to the store and showed them products made of recycled materials and their cost compared to goods produced using raw materials. In every case, the goods produced using raw materials was much cheaper. They no longer sing the mantra of the lunatic fringe.
Do major corporations really buy the green movement? Not a chance but they have to play the game all the same. Want proof? Go into any store and the proof is staring at you on every shelf. Why do we need so much packaging? Why is laundry detergent or any detergent sold in bottles? If companies really wanted to be green, all they would have to do is ship in containers of their products and you would just go in and pour into your own container what you need and pay for that. No extra packaging, waste and garbage for the landfills. The same with foods and just about everything else. The waste is everywhere. So do you really think there is a green movement? I don't.
So why orange for the anti green movement? We go over to Ireland for that. On Saint Patrick's day, the Catholics wear green in commemoration of Saint Patrick. The Protestant's wear orange as they do not recognize Saint Patrick. It's been a fighting tradition for quite some time. So we have borrowed our color from Ireland for our anti green movement. It's not religious, it's not political. It's just common sense.

First Shots of the Civil War, Gloucester, 2011 Re Enactment
Instead of the county putting on the last muster civil war days this year, the county instead did a first shots of the Civil War in Virginia. Those first shots were fired right here in Gloucester County against the ship, the Yankee back on May, 7th, 1861. The re enactment, planning staging and organization were top notch. Gloucester always does an incredible job of putting on events. Some of the best around bar none. What always bothers me is the lack of advertising the county does. How many people knew about this event? The amount of people who showed up was relatively low in my own opinion. A number of people we polled were there for the beach and went around the show anyway. The amount of people who could have been there would have been much higher if promotions were properly done. Did anyone notify the local radio station? Did the county post anything in any of the papers? We tried to work with the county at the beginning of the year to get all the dates for county events and we had planned a spectacular on line calender, but the county never got back with us......so....
Guess they could always claim it's not in the budget. Free advertising and promotions not in the budget? What? Didn't pay the phone bill? Please. On the one hand, we applaud the county for yet another great event, and on the other hand fault the county for NOT taking advantage of getting the word out more. We know that newspapers offer free listings of county events as do TV stations and web sites, such as ours. But you have to work with us and let us know. Nuff said on that note. We have the Gloucester Main Street Association putting on the concert with the Virginia Symphony Orchestra in June. We will post more soon along with a rare video of a past performance.

Chick-Fil-A of Gloucester Pre Grand Opening Ceremonies
With over 150 people now firmly planted in tents throughout the parking lot of the brand new Chick-Fil-A here in Gloucester County, these brave souls started out early this morning at 6:00 AM with challenges of extreme cold, winds and ice to become one of the lucky first 100 people to win the Chick-Fil-A food for a year prizes. The first 100 event such as what is being held here is part of the chain's opening traditions that started over 7 years ago and continues to be a staple way of opening new chain stores across the nation.
This new restaurant is part of Chick-Fil-A's growth of 75 new locations for 2011. Chick-Fil-A has been in business for over 43 years and was started in Atlanta, GA at the Greenbriar Mall in 1967 by Truett Cathy. With 1530 locations in 39 states and Washington, DC the company has experienced growth each and every year.
Tomorrow morning starting at 9:00 AM, there will be a ribbon cutting ceremony where Congressman Rob Wittman will speak and the county board of supervisors along with the ROTC band of Gloucester High School and the Gloucester High School Band will all be there to participate in this grand opening. We shot a live interview with John Gordon III and will have that up on the site soon. We also plan on attending the event first thing in the morning. We wish John and his staff the best with this new venture and until the cows come home, here's to the new Chick-Fil-A now in Gloucester.

The Salvation Army, "Doing The Most Harm", Part 5
Just some updates on this ongoing story. We have contacted the Salvation Army Corporate Headquarters numerous times. Not once have they chosen to respond to any of our questions. Nor do they seem to care when one of their outposts does harm to a family. We also contacted CBN, The Christian Broadcasting Network whom checked on this story but also chose not to respond. Governor Robert F McDonnell, and Senator Mark Warner have not chimed in nor has the Associated Press. Maybe dealing with negative stories about major charities around the holidays is bad for business? If a person or a corporate entity caused this type of harm to a family, they would be subject to a lawsuit. But because it's a charity, they can do whatever they want? This is pretty much like running over a person, finding out the person that you ran over was homeless and since that was the case, you get a get out of jail free card. We have a lot more to go with this story and it will not be going away. We will keep on top of all of this until someone is held accountable for their actions.
