Here are the officials who are destroying our more-than-200 year-old county: Resident George W. Bush, Fuentes Fox, and Jim Martin, Condoleezza Rice, and Michael Chertoff.

The so-called Security and Prosperity about to be implemented by the U.S., Mexico, Canada, and the the World Trade Organization (WTO) is destroying United States sovereignty and, that of Mexico and Canada - just as the Bush Administration violated the sovereignty of the Iraqi people under his administration’s revolutionary doctrine of “preempt strikes.”

The Subject so-called “Industrial Center,” dubbed “Piggie #3 by fellow blogger Bernie O’Hare is the forerunner to his “Lehigh Valley Ramblings” blog, “Our Common Bond,” is also described in FR (Federal Register) Doc E6-1259, dated July 28, 2006.

Quoting O’Hare’s Our Common Bond, “The E. Allen Tp official who proposed this project [Piggie #3] last week now opposes it because the water extensions will benefit only the industrial developer and not nearby residents. He [the E. Allen Tp official] was not recognized or permitted to speak during the first supposed ‘public’ hearing, a violation of both the Sunshine Law and [Northampton County’s] Home Rule Charter. Council has no intention of listening to the public anyway. Why? The developers have political clout. State Rep. Craig Dally has telephoned all republican Council members for support because the developer is a big political contributor. Turns out the developer has also given money to Nick Sabatine [Council member Nicholas R. Sabatine III, Esq.], who seems to think this is the best project of all [compared to Piggie #1, Palmer Towne Center and Piggie #2, Bangor Junction Industrial Park]. Nick Sabatine stated publicly that he would abstain from voting on this project (MC [Moring Call], 2/20), but his committee voted to endorse this project to the rest of council, and he has actively promoted it to other Council members. Perhaps he forgot. (During his election campaign, he said he opposed all government grants to developers. Perhaps he forgot that, too.”

Billy Bytes Blog post titled “The Selling of Easton, Pennsylvnia’s. Environment,” dated August 17, 2006, describes the ladder at the convergence of the Delaware and Lehigh rivers.

This is not the fish ladder that enables the fish to negotiate the dam off Scott Park. Rather, it’s the ladder proposed by this public-private partnership: the City of Easton and its Parking Authority; Northampton County and LANTA (Lehigh and Northampton Transit Authority); the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission (DRJTBC); Lafayette College and Arcadia Properties.

The two lead stories in today’s edition of The New York Times, “House Narrowly Backs Iraq Timetable” for bringing our troops home,” and “Ex-Deputy of Interior Dept. Pleads guilty,” describe the impetus that led to the takeover of our national government in last November’s Congressional elections: the Iraqi War and Government Corruption.

When my wife, Kathy, and older daughter Sarah and her partner Lisa heard the three major networks declare Al Gore winner of the Presidential election that November evening in 2000, quickly nullified bv George W. Bush’s cousin working at FOX News, we knew to our horror, immediately and instinctively, that we were witness to bloodless coup.

So did millions of other Americans, and we all started immediately descending on Washington to protest.

I am asking The Morning Call to leave its editorial, “Easton Council should listen to residents, reduce size of Riverwalk,” on-line long enough for readers to digest and comment.

However, Riverwalk should not “reduced,” as the editorial recommends, but jettisoned.

“Stung by Remarks, Nevada Democrats Cancel Debate on Fox,” reports today’s edition of The New York Times.

FOX manages the news, of course, as do the print media The Morning Call and The Express-Times manage the news in the so-called “Lehigh Valley,” currently defined as Lehigh and Northampton counties in eastern Pennsylvania and Warren and hunterdon counties in neighboring New Jersey to the east, across the Delaware River and the toll bridge of the corrupt Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission connecting Easton, Pennsylvania, and Phillipsburg, New Jersey.
