"...'single minded unity' means a unity around one centre and based on one ideologe. The centre of single minded unity is The Leader..."
North Korean Radio, 7140 kHz Sunday, June 7th, minute 14:55 to 16:10

Single party dictatorships carefully guard the flow of information. "Dear Leader" Kim Jong-il of the Worker's Paradise of North Korea carefully restricts all information entering and exiting his Hermit Kingdom. What of Trousilgrad?

Where was the Ad Vertiser?

Like Radio Free Europe of old, it was the Des Moines Register that broke the latest episode of West Burlington being a sovereign Soviet. The laws of outsiders do not apply there.

In the past, there have been black outs of what is happening in Trousilgrad. Cable videos of West Burlington's City Council meetings were not available. Hans was slapped with a judge's injunction for illegally baring a City Council member from attending to their duties.

What if Supreme Leader for Life Hans Trousil is sued for violating citizens 2nd Amendment rights and the rule of law? Like routine famines in North Korea, will their be no video of West Burlington City Council meetings?

Will the Ad Vertiser remain silent?

Spike:

When are you putting Hans & Kim's faces on a T shirt with their similarities?

Some day, you should start selling your merchandise. You could net more in a week than the Ad Vertiser in a year. And maybe donate a portion of the proceeds to West Burlington's sewer repair fund.

Spike,

"Findley has proven herself to be an aggressive campaigned and a surprisingly strong fundraiser. Before posting her latest report, Findley has raised an impressive $150,000. Miller was caught flat-footed, but seems like he is taking Findley seriously now."

As Attorney General of the State of Iowa since the days of disco fever, Tom Miller has not done a damn thing about illegal activities such as secret meetings, missing minutes, etc. by public bodies in Des Moines County. Tom has serious opposition for re-election this year.

If Tom Miller will not do anything about what the abuses of public office in Southeast Iowa, perhaps Ms. Findley will.

The time has come for voters to make Tom Miller disco on down to Burger King. He may meet an old friend.

"The opportunity to apply for a $1 million I-Jobs grant has members of the Capitol Theater Foundation scrambling to line up city support and possible financing to renovate the long disused downtown Capital Theater into a performance and film venue."

Iowa is over $1 billion in debt. Iowa has money to pressure the City of Burlington to spend more money. For what?

The Bees want a pile of money too. Right, or wrong, that facility remains in use. The Capitol Theater died with cable television. $1 million plus whatever the City is required to spend may raise the dead. Who will pay for life support there after?

Yes, it is a relic of increasing rarity as the art deco era fades from living memory. The reason the Capitol Theater remains is because downtown Burlington died. There has been no reason to remove the corpse, or that of far older relics collapsing into the streets.

Chic urban elites may find the Capitol Theater fascinating. Restoring the Capitol's past glory will not make them move here. Burlington is too far away to make it a regular destination point.

If there are neither the resources nor interest to make the Capitol Theater self supporting in Burlington, face reality.

Like London bridge, maybe somebody elsewhere is interested in cutting up the Capitol and rebuilding it where it maybe properly maintained and utilized.

How the media conspired to get Obama elected

Was Mike Sweet's Name Listed?

Spike,

"From 2007 until last month, some 300 liberal journalists and policy wonks exchanged ideas and commentary on a secret, off-the-record Internet email group called JournoList. It was shut down after portions leaked, leading to the resignation of Washington Post writer David Weigel last month over his intemperate criticism of conservatives he was covering.

But someone who belonged to JournoList continues to leak information from its archives, providing a fascinating glimpse into how some liberal journalists coordinate their story lines to protect their favorite politicians and ideas. The Daily Caller website reports that at several times during the 2008 presidential race, "employees of news organizations including Time, Politico, the Huffington Post, the Baltimore Sun, the Guardian, Salon and the New Republic participated in outpourings of anger over how [Barack] Obama had been treated in the media, and in some cases plotted to fix the damage.""

Spencer 'call them racists' Ackerman email:

"If the right forces us all to either defend Wright or tear him down, no matter what we choose, we lose the game they’ve put upon us. Instead, take one of them – Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares – and call them racists. Ask: why do they have such a deep-seated problem with a black politician who unites the country? What lurks behind those problems? This makes *them* sputter with rage, which in turn leads to overreaction and self-destruction.

I wonder if Mike Sweet's name is one of those 300 listed?

"To ensure that the country's most sensitive duties are carried out only by people loyal above all to the nation's interest, federal rules say contractors may not perform what are called "inherently government functions." But they do, all the time and in every intelligence and counterterrorism agency, according to a two-year investigation by The Washington Post.

What started as a temporary fix in response to the terrorist attacks has turned into a dependency that calls into question whether the federal workforce includes too many people obligated to shareholders rather than the public interest -- and whether the government is still in control of its most sensitive activities. In interviews last week, both Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and CIA Director Leon Panetta said they agreed with such concerns."

"In suburbs across the nation, the intelligence community goes about its anonymous business. Its work isn’t seen, but its impact is surely felt.

...Fort Meade, Md., is the capital of Top Secret America -- an alternative geography of the United States defined by the concentration of top-secret government organizations and the companies that do work for them. It is the largest of a dozen such clusters across the United States that are the nerve centers of Top Secret America and its 854,000 workers."

Spike:

In all fairness the United States should adopt Mexico’s immigration laws and then everyone would be happy.

Mexico could hardly complain nor could countries further south of Mexico have anything to bitch about when it comes to American immigration.

Why mess around with the liberal losers over immigration when we just adopt the Mexican laws.

Why do we even care what non-citizens say anyway they have no stake in our country legally or otherwise. To put it bluntly their nothing more than illegal aliens who crossed our border automatically making them criminals and slaves to those that exploit them.

Send them all back.

"When Badertscher sought legal relief from the threats and paycheck-plundering of the SEIU, her lawyers did not expect to find themselves arguing their case in front of the man who was the SEIU’s own chief lawyer until a few months ago, when President Obama named him to the National Labor Relations Board. Craig Becker, former general counsel for the SEIU, was a controversial appointee to start with, owing to his radical and anti-democratic views on union power. But surely, Badertscher’s lawyers thought, he’d recuse himself from a case involving the SEIU.

Becker refused to do so. In fact, he was part of a three-member panel that reviewed the SEIU/Pomona Valley case, and he has made it clear that he intends to continue involving himself in cases involving his former employer.

“There are 13 or 14 cases in which we’ve sought recusal for Craig Becker,” says Patrick Semmens, legal information director for the National Right to Work Foundation (NRWF), which represented Badertscher."

Breitbart reiterates the first video released on Breitbart.tv features Sherrod telling a racist tale that is received by the NAACP audience with laughter and cheers. The audience wasn’t cheering redemption; they were cheering discrimination.

Breitbart clarifies he released the video to target not Sherrod, but the NAACP who had condemned the Tea Party's alleged racism. Though Sherrod became the scapegoat, it was the delight the NAACP audience took in the racist part of Sherrod's speech that was truly damning. Breitbart noted he’s agnostic to her firing.

Later on the Breitbart.tv Publisher argued bogus racism charges flung at the Tea Party are meant to distract the public from staggering unemployment figures and other hot-button political topics unfavorable to the Democrats and the left.

"Tonight's program begins with yesterday's video of the day. The comments made by Shirley Sherrod, the USDA's director of rural development in Georgia, were obviously racist and deserved to be condemned. But Sherrod was forced to resign before even being allowed to give her side of the story- which, is allegedly that she was just telling a story of an event that took place 24 years ago. Why would you force the resignation of someone who is just relating a story of 24-year-old incident to make a point? Something just doesn't seem right about this."
