(Feb 08 2008) - Pay Attention Porterville - Is this How It's Going to End ?
Post Opinion : Post Editor - A. L. "LUCKY" Lucketta
PORTERVILLE, CA -- Pay attention Porterville and look all around. We are losing our jobs, our homes, our stores, our banks and pretty soon we'll be losing our town. I'm sorry, but that's the truth ! Our town is our town and we should behave like it's our town. And in our town, we better start behaving like neighbors real quick ... our we'll all be dumpster-diving at dinner time.
Over the years Porterville has seen many businesses come and go. We've seen a lot of small time businesses start right here in Porterville and become a huge success and we have seen a few who did not perform as well. Those who didn't make it here in Porterville, went out of business, most of the time because the product they produced and or sold wasn't what the public demanded. So that business either eliminated that inventory or re-tooled, re-developed and re-supplied.
Now that was how every business did it. They changed their supply for the demand or moved to another location to sell to another area.
In either case, that business had to pay a visit to his local bank to acquire additional monies for the expansion of the business and products. Most of the time, his banker would advise him to the best of that areas needs for that product and that businessman and banker would then settle on an amount to be loaned and to be re-paid.

IS THIS HOW IT'S GOING TO END |
In theory, that's how it's suppose to work. In practice, it can work if you have the right product and right price.
But you say, if the product is good and the demand is great, people will flock from all over to purchase those goods ... then that businessman will be making a ton of money. So far ... you're right. And in all likely-hood that businessman did make a lot of doe ... until his goods and supplies dry up.
Back in the day when you could single-handedly produce or craft an item which the public wanted, you rarely went out of business. If all the items that you needed to assemble your product were very close to your own business, going out of business, again, rarely happened. When you have a product that's assembled at one location but delivered from various parts of the country, your product - even though it may be cheeper to produce - cannot be reliably delivered, unless your business insurance covers late deliveries or you pay up-front for back-up a delivery with another delivery service.
Take a good hard look at those vacant businesses. Most, if not all, had the goods and services that everyone in Porterville used and needed. For whatever reason, they are now gone and I'm sure many more will follow, except those that are still propted up by drug money. They will not return ! Take a look ! They are GONE !
What I'm saying is this, at the end of the day when you do not have a job and need a few bucks for some bread and milk ... and you explain to your neighbor, "It's only until I get my next unemployment check", will he finally get tired of you asking ? More than likely he will and you know it.
DOES THE GOVERNMENT REALLY KNOW HOW BAD THIS PROBLEM IS IN AMERICA ?
Today, I had bumped into two Army guys still dressed in their fatigues at a local convenience store. Outside with me was a good friend of mine who worked at this store and just as these to military men approached the front door of the store I asked them if they had a minute to answer a few questions. Of course they said. One of them was caucasian and about 28-29 years of age. The other was hispanic and about 27 years of age.
Knowing what I knew about our Governments "secret agenda" in using the military on civilian soil against civilians ... here's what I asked :
If our government ever ordered you guys to shoot any unarmed citizens, would you do it ? {29 Palms Survey} Neither answered, so I told them ... "You Better Not. Your role is to protect and defend Americans." So I asked again, really guys, would you go house to house and make people leave their homes if a commanding officer gave you that order ? One said, "We are doing that already." I asked what reason would you guys break the posse commititas laws. You're not suppose to utilize military force on American soil against Americans. Why would you even consider this ? And the hispanic Army guy said, "We know that the people will need ecomomic advise and assistance and that's why we are going house to house."
With a slighted smile, this hispanic three striper, then said, we're only doing what were told. I then reminded him about the NAZI's and that's what they said about throwing innocent jews into Hitlers gas chambers and ovens. In the Neuremberg trials those who followed Hitlers orders said "in their heart-of-hearts" they though they were doing the right thing. Again ... I then told them, DON'T DO IT ! Your American soilders and your job is to protect Americans. GOD will know what's in your hearts ... DON'T DO IT !
And at that point, the other Army guy motioned to quit talking and leave. Once out of sight, my friend and I couldn't believe what we just heard. I told him, "I'm glad you were heard what they just said, because no one would have believed me."
In a nut shell, this is what they said. Our Military is ready to extradite you from your property. They are doing in various area in America. Our Congress was made aware of the possibility of a stock market crash coming in September of 2008 and possible riots by the March of 2009.
Today ... this became a reality for my friend who saw and heard first hand, what our government plans to do with you if you become a little unruly. Our goverment knows it cannot bail out the whole country let alone all the banks. They have been advised that a log lasting depression is coming to America and to keep quite about it. Some politicians are helping their states declare soverignty in light of what they know, but that's too little and too late.
Here's the long and short of it. People ain't spending because people ain't working. Businesses ain't growing because people ain't buying. Banks ain't lending because reserves ain't deviding. Wall street ain't selling because bonds ain't liquid. Countires ain't stable because countries ain't honest. Corporations ain't cooperating because the CORPORATE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA still belongs to the Virginia Company. And last but not least ... Kings ain't ruling if Kings ain't killing
ONE LAST TIME - IS THIS HOW IT'S GOING TO END ?
Please pay attenetion Porterville ! I did not intend to write in this opinion column something that will make you feel all good inside. My purpose is to scare the wits out of you and make you understand that our government's sole purpose is not to protect American people, but to protect government people, corporate people, banking people and priviledged people.
TAKE A FINAL LOOK AT THOSE EMPTY BUSINESSES !
Once they are all gone, that's it ! There not coming back.
TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE EMPTY HOMES !
Once they're foreclosed, the banks will get them back and sell them to CHINA OR RUSSIA.
TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR JOB !
Once it's gone it's gone and it's never coming back. The government know this and their only recourse was to build detention centers for whoever survives.
TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR !
Today he may be your friend, but tomorrow he may turn you in to the government for hoarding food.
TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF !
Are you Right with GOD ? Will you surrender today to HIS Will or will you wait and surrender to the will of the state. Today ... you still have time.
