Class Warfare and Exploitation in South Carolina by the Green Mafia.



“Comprehensive Planning” a Synonym for Tyranny - an example from South Carolina from Don Casey on Vimeo.


A concerted effort to restructure society is under way across the country - case in point - Richland County, South Carolina. Local restructuring process formally began when the County Commission adopted as official policy a “comprehensive plan”. The Commission operating under the “plan”, utilized the color of law to enforce the tenets of “sustainable development” (see footnote).

“Sustainable development” is another synonym for tyranny.


Filmed in 2003, this video documents the efforts of Richland County residents to publicize their plight.


Responsible Richland County citizens read the “comprehensive plan” and alerted their neighbors. The result - implementation process was stalled.

Update - 2009

In Richland County local elected officials in lock step with the socialist philosophy of “sustainable development” are in the throws of adopting a revised “comprehensive plan”. Click on the link to access the plan and comments from local residents: http://tiny.cc/UInrA

Their story – the forced abrogation of God given un-a-lienable rights - should be head line news.

Federal Bullying of Rural Property Owners

Interesting discussion concerning Federal bullying of rural property owners using endangered species and wetlands law.  The tyrannical abuse of private property and rural people affect us all.

Judge halts road scheme because it might have impact on ELVES

Judge halts road scheme because it might have impact on ELVES

  • Friends of Lava are campaigning against the new road from the Alftanes peninsular to Gardabaer in Reykjavik
  • They have raised concerns about both the environmental and cultural impact
  • This includes the potential impact on elves along the route
  • Project has been halted until Supreme Court of Iceland can rule on the case
  • A recent survey in Iceland found 62% believe it's possible that elves exist

In this land of fire and ice, where the fog-shrouded lava fields offer a spooky landscape in which anything might lurk, stories abound of the 'hidden folk' - thousands of elves, making their homes in Iceland's wilderness.

So perhaps it was only a matter of time before 21st-century elves got political representation.

Elf advocates have joined forces with environmentalists to urge the Icelandic Road and Coastal Commission and local authorities to abandon a highway project building a direct route from the tip of the Alftanes peninsula, where the president has a home, to the Reykjavik suburb of Gardabaer.

They fear disturbing elf habitat and claim the area is particularly important because it contains an elf church.

The project has been halted until the Supreme Court of Iceland rules on a case brought by a group known as Friends of Lava, who cite both the environmental and the cultural impact - including the impact on elves - of the road project. The group has regularly brought hundreds of people out to block the bulldozers.

And it's not the first time issues about 'Huldufolk', Icelandic for 'hidden folk', have affected planning decisions. They occur so often that the road and coastal administration has come up with a stock media response for elf inquiries, which states in part that 'issues have been settled by delaying the construction project at a certain point while the elves living there have supposedly moved on'.

Scandinavian folklore is full of elves, trolls and other mythological characters. Most people in Norway, Denmark and Sweden haven't taken them seriously since the 19th century, but elves are no joke to many in Iceland, which has a population of 320,000.

A survey conducted by the University of Iceland in 2007 found that some 62 per cent of the 1,000 respondents thought it was at least possible that elves exist.

Ragnhildur Jonsdottir, a self-proclaimed 'seer', believes she can communicate with the creatures through telepathy.

'It will be a terrible loss and damaging both for the elf world and for us humans,' said Jonsdottir of the road project.
The Supreme Court of Iceland will rule on whether the highway project should go ahead after Friends of Lava protested against the plans

Though many of the Friends of Lava are motivated primarily by environmental concerns, they see the elf issue as part of a wider concern for the history and culture of the very unique landscape.

Andri Snaer Magnason, a well-known environmentalist, said his major concern was that the road would cut the lava field in two, among other things, destroying nesting sites.

'Some feel that the elf thing is a bit annoying,' said Magnason, adding that personally he was not sure they existed. However, he added: 'I got married in a church with a god just as invisible as the elves, so what might seem irrational is actually quite common' with Icelanders.

Terry Gunnell, a folklore professor at the University of Iceland, said he was not surprised by the wide acceptance of the possibility of elves.

'This is a land where your house can be destroyed by something you can't see (earthquakes), where the wind can knock you off your feet, where the smell of sulfur from your taps tells you there is invisible fire not far below your feet, where the northern lights make the sky the biggest television screen in the world, and where hot springs and glaciers `talk,' Gunnell said.
'In short, everyone is aware that the land is alive, and one can say that the stories of hidden people and the need to work carefully with them reflects an understanding that the land demands respect.'

Gunnell said similar beliefs are found in western Ireland, but they thrive in Iceland because people remain in close contact with the land. Parents still let their children play out in the wilderness - often late into the night. Vast pristine areas remain, even near the capital, Reykjavik. 
Pristine: There are still vast, untouched areas of land in Iceland, even near the capital Reykjavik, which is believed to be one of the reasons many residents still believe in ancient folklore

And at Christmas, Icelanders await not just one Santa Claus, but 13 trolls known as the 'Yule Lads' who come to town during the 13 days before Christmas, each with his own task, putting rewards or punishments into the shoes of little children.

They include Stufur, or Stubby, who is extremely short and eats crusts left in pans; Pottaskefill, or Pot-Scraper, who snatches leftovers; and Hurdaskellir or Door-Slammer, who likes to slam doors at night.

'If you ask an Icelander about elves, they might say they don't believe,' said Jonsdottir. 'But we always have stories of them, if not from ourselves then from someone close like a family member. Of course, not everyone believes in the stories, but the stories and the elves are still there and being told.'
Hilmar Gunnarsson, a writer in Reykjavik, fondly remembers a story his grandmother told him about a mischievous elf.

'She told me about (a pair) of her scissors that went missing and she was certain that an elf borrowed them,' Gunnarsson said. 'She would not believe that they were just lost and she would not buy (new) scissors. She said the elf would give them back when he was finished. She said they were returned.'

One of Iceland's most famous daughters, the singer Bjork, had no hesitation in responding when asked by U.S. comedian and TV host Stephen Colbert if people in her country believed in elves.

'We do,' she said. 'It's sort of a relationship with nature, like with the rocks. (The elves) all live in the rocks, so you have to. It's all about respect, you know.'

FABLE: The DEA Agent and The Farmer

A DEA Agent stopped at a ranch in Texas and talked to an old rancher. 
He told the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs." 
The rancher said, "okay, but don't go into that field over there...", as he pointed out the location. 

The DEA Agent verbally exploded and said, "look mister, I have the authority of the federal government with me!" Reaching into his rear back pocket, the arrogant officer removed his badge and proudly displayed it to the rancher. ..."See this badge?! This badge means I can go wherever I want... On any land! No questions asked, no answers given! Do you understand old man?!"

The rancher kindly nodded, apologized, and went about his chores. Moments later the rancher heard loud screams, he looked up and saw the DEA agent running for his life, being chased by the ranchers big Santa Gertrudis Bull...... 

With every step the bull was gaining ground on the officer, and it was likely that he'd sure enough get gored before he reached safety. The officer was clearly terrified. The old rancher threw down his tools, ran as fast as he could to the fence, and yelled at the top of his lungs......

"YOUR BADGE! SHOW HIM YOUR BADGE!"

Moral:Pride Goeth before the Fall 

Western Governors plan Vast New Wildlife Habitat protection zones.


The attack on private property rights, especially for rural lands continues unabated. Vast new governmental powers are being considered under the guise of "wildlife conservation rights" that may severely affect the use of your private lands.

Notice that the "stakeholders" are Non Government Agencies and activist.  Property owners are NOT represented in this dialog. (51:00) The concern is the CHAT tool for identification of crucial habitat will target private land for zoning changes. The presenter says that it is only for "pre-planning" to be used by local planners for implementation.  This shell game of regulation provides the illusion of local control but actually is dictated from a central authority. It is a "nudge" from the Feds that becomes a "shove" from the local planners.
