Update for the OG&E Smart Hours Program

by KD5QHR on May 15th, 2012 at 11:13 am

I discovered some interesting information about the OG&E Smart Hours program here in Arkansas. It looks like Arkansas residents will not be eligible to sign up for the Smart Hours program this year. OG&E stated that they had not obtained approval to offer the variable peak power rates form June 1st until September 30 in Arkansas. What they are offering is a modified power plan called Time of Use Rates, where from June 1st until September 30th, you pay 1.7 cents per KwH on off peak time (7pm till 2pm + weekends and holidays, 19 hours a day) and 18.5 cents per KwH during peak hours (2pm thru 7pm, Monday thru Friday, or 5 hours a day). You can sign up for myogepower at www.myogepower.com This will allow you to monitor your daily energy usage online. Call 877-898-3834 to sign up for the Time of Use Rates. This was a tidbit of information that was left out of the community meeting in Fort Smith. I will be forwarding this info to Senator Jake Files.

Results from FOI from Chancellor & to U.S. Attorney

by joeusa on May 14th, 2012 at 2:59 pm

William Conner Eldridge
U.S. Attorney for Arkansas Western District
414 Parker Ave.
Fort Smith, AR 72901

Dear Sir, May 14, 2012

The enclosed data was obtained through an FOIA directed to the attention of University of Arkansas Chancellor G. David Gearhart.

The purpose of the FOIA was to garner information regarding a public symposium which featured 5 illegal aliens from 4 states.

I am in receipt of 379 pages, less protected government communications.

This affair, which I deem to be illegal, featured numerous public employees including emissaries of the governor of the state of Arkansas, in addition to Chancellor Gearhart who participated in the wanton production, while making Arkansas citizens look like fools.

I am enclosing some of what I consider to be the more egregious violations of U.S. law and Arkansas law.

Obviously this illegality occurred in your district and under your watch. I would appreciate knowing your legal position on the event.

Kindest regards,

Joe McCutchen
2916 Heather Oaks Way
Fort Smith, AR 72908

P.S. This information is being shared with taxpaying citizens of Arkansas and across the nation.

(This data has been forwarded to William Conner Eldridge, U.S. Attorney for Arkansas Western District, Fort Smith, AR)

The response to an FOIA. May 14, 2012

Incremental Amnesty presented by the Arkansas state government, bordering on roguery.
The illegal affair, parading 5 illegal Hispanics with national fanfare on the night of April 23, 2012 at the Fayetteville Town Center, intended for amnesty indoctrination.

Governor Mike Beebe’s office was privy to the unlawful affair and it was produced and directed by the Chancellor of the Univ. of Ark (Fayetteville campus) G David Gearhart and enabled by the Arkansas State House, with one exception, Honorable Representative Jon Hubbard.

The unlawful act was commissioned well in advance of it being carried out and produced a fragmented national audience. Commissioning of this crime before its occurrence was a slap in the face of every legal Arkansan and American. Beebe and Gearhart showed their utter contempt for American citizens and the rule of law.
Hussman and Stephens Media were and are silent on the affair. Why?

Some of the facts produced by an FOIA will be introduced shortly. Understand that politicians and bureaucrats have taken the teeth out of much of what the Freedom of Information Act intended, providing protection for politicians, bureaucrats and other government employees. For example, in one of the universities electronic messages, U. of A. attorney T. Scott Varady said that there were a number of records that constitute “education records” under FOIA, as defined by the Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act, and/or, therefore exempt. Varady went on to state “other documents evidencing payment of expenses, costs, or other amounts by the State of Arkansas and/or Univ. of Ark. that were part of, or incidental to, the symposium.” Therefore; the FOIA in no way gave a detailed accounting of the unlawful activities that went on before, during, and after their affair.

Attorney Varady stated that private (non-taxpayer) funds were used to pay for the cost of the event. Varady stated the cost of the event was $53,570.84. Attorney Varady fails to mention that the Univ. of Ark. used state owned facilities, equipment, supplies, university personnel and policing entities, to name a few involved in the production of the event, including Chancellor of U of A and his many assistants.
In the 379 pages received re the FOI it was indeed pleasing to read the dozens of letters sent to Chancellor Gearhart demanding he withdraw the proposed unlawful activity…others begging him to reconsider and so on. The few congratulatory letters to Gearhart were from his own faculty and a few Hispanic schools across the nation.
There is evidence that there is collusion between the U of A Fayetteville campus, U. of A. Little Rock, and the Clinton School of Public Service at Little Rock and Fayetteville promoting open borders and amnesty.

Arkansas Governor Beebe has always been for open borders both nationally and statewide with the worn out canard…it’s a federal problem”. His lack of positive leadership in the matter of illegal immigration demonstrates his nexus with corporations and government with no regard for his Arkansas citizen constituents and the horrific burdens…financial, educational, penal, etc. he is placing on our backs. He magnified his unlawful position by delegating Gearhart and his minions to give birth to such an arrogant, in-your-face production re: the “woes” of 5 illegals. Beebe sent 2 of his Assistants to the meeting…Sericia Cole & France Mett Herrera. Who paid?

For every letter Gearhart received condemning the scurrilous production and those few who applauded, he sent one of two form letters using University time, University personnel and University stationary under the names of Gearhart or John Diamond, Asst. Vice Chancellor.

In prepping for the spectacle, Chancellor Gearhart, pushing for emotion, stated time and again, the 5 young “undocumented, living in the shadows, taking significant risk showing up on public panel”. Gearhart continued by stating “their undocumented immigration status makes travel within the U.S. difficult and risky and their ability to work legally”.
Gearhart is either totally out of touch with reality or a liar. American law enforcement, all branches, are admonished not to arrest illegals unless for a violent crime, compliments of President Barack Hussein Obama. A news agency asked Gearhart how many police were at the symposium and what branches…no response. It is known that the Univ. of Ark. policing agency and the Ark. State police were present. It is ironic that the 2 policing agencies refused to uphold their sworn constitutional duties by arresting the 5 illegal Hispanics and Chancellor Gearhart & friends at this wholly unlawful event. Here two branches of Ark. government are in violation of U.S. law with the police protecting the violators…and where was ICE? Perhaps it was ICE hiding in the shadows, the illegals certainly weren’t.

Chancellor Gearhart opined “we are an education institution and have the responsibility to inform the public of political and social issues”. Since when and by what authority? If the Chancellor believes the university has the obligation to bloviate on social & political issues, why was this spectacle not held in one of the many university facilities? He knew very well what he was doing was not a legitimate endeavor.

Gearhart stated—“No one should be afraid or opposed to hearing both sides of an issue”. To the Chancellor, there is only one side to this issue, i.e. U.S. law has been broken, not only by the 5 illegal aliens, but by you personally and by Gov. Beebe. You and Beebe and a host of others have flouted U.S. law and an Arkansas statute with impunity.
Numerous University professors were actively involved in this illegal, unconstitutional affair…too numerous to mention all. However, here are some of the more prominent names.

1. Stacy Leeds—Dean of the U of A School of Law (is this not an oxymoron?) Leeds is paid a hefty salary, allegedly to teach the rule of law to university students, while at the same time advocating the breaking of U.S. law, specifically 8 USC, Section 1325, 1324a, 1324c, & 1644. Dean Leeds sent a note to Gearhart, “Hey Boss, proud to be on your team. You made us very proud this evening—well done.” (By the way Dean, I have been under the impression that it is the citizens’ team.)
2. Gearhart to Leeds…”You are a big part of its success”.
3. Gearhart thanked Michael Dodd and the Associated Student Government for helping to promote the affair….. Using students to promulgate crime?
4. Gearhart also asked “several members of the General Assembly and other elected officials to stand up so they could be thanked” (We have not been able to secure all the names of the elected & hired officials who showed up for this exhibition, however we do have a few names of those present).
5. Mike Poore (not elected) Bentonville School Superintendent. He stated he sued the Dept. of Education in Colorado in order to get a 5th year extension for minority students.
6. Rep. Nate Bell, Mena. Rep Bell initially received no invitation and was heartbroken and through a number of communications with Gearhart he and his wife received invitations.
7. Rep. Johnnie Roebuck, Arkadelphia, retired educator (wouldn’t you know it?)
8. Rep. Linda Tyler, Conway, called Gearhart “courageous”. Does “courageous” mean she knew he was breaking the law?
9. Two very intriguing statements from Bob McMath, Prof of History U of A, and Dean of Honors College. Chancellor Gearhart told Bob, “I will never forget you said ‘pay the differential in in-state/out of state for those in the pipeline”. The statement cries out for a dissection—again, who pays and who are those “in the pipeline”? From McMath to Gearhart “YOUR neck was on the line”. Does this statement not testify to the criminality of the symposium featuring Illegal Aliens?
10. Skip Rutherford—Dean of Clinton School of Public Service and no doubt the nexus between Beebe and Gearhart. Rutherford exclaimed in an email to Gearhart “I am proud of you and the U. of A. “…Which means the Univ. of Ark. is squarely involved in promoting illegal immigration.
The state of Arkansas’ political and academic systems (one in the same) is a corrupted web and permeates every part of our state. The Constitution and rule of law are savaged with impunity.

Governor Mike Beebe must be impeached, Chancellor G. David Gearhart fired and every member of the state legislature censured as enablers of this crime, with one exception the Honorable Rep. Jon Hubbard.

Let’s be very clear, illegals are here for a multiple of exploitation reasons…aliens for welfare handouts & work, employers for cheap under the table laborers, churches for parishioners & funding, government schools for the funding, government agencies for expansion & funding, and politically correct ideologues for the damage they do to the culture and heritage.

Update on FOI re illegal alien public panel

by joeusa on May 11th, 2012 at 2:22 pm

FOIA & U of A Chancellor G. David Gearhart

Gratifyed to be in receipt of emails from around the state and nation inquiring about the FOIA submitted to Chancellor Gearhart.

Gearhart, I should say his enablers, responded with 379 pages and I have no idea how many redactions.

Barbara & I have, as of today, worked our way through the many pages and made notes on those points we feel add to the criminal conduct of the Chancellor and of course, the Governor. The state legislature is also enablers in this mess.

In all probability I will be sending the results of the FOI out Monday, May 14.

Again, I want to convey Barbara and my profuse thanks to the Honorable Jon Hubbard standing alone and for his courageous efforts in exposing the criminal conduct of the Arkansas state government. I have heard from numerous sources, and this is very troubling, that Gov. Beebe is actively seeking the defeat of Rep. Hubbard. Beebe’s administration has been a disaster for middleclass Arkansans exhibited by his political dictatorship & criminal conduct in refusing to address the illegal Mexican & OTM invasions…but not limited to.

Ad in Times Record today & Sunday

by joeusa on May 10th, 2012 at 9:41 am

By the government and for the government

Charlotte Douglas, Charlene Fite, Bill Gossage, Gene Jeffress, Stephanie Malone, Gary Latanich, Tracy Pennartz (?), and Mat Pitsch…they have what in common?

They are government employees campaigning for the Arkansas Legislature. 5 are teachers. The State Legislature is packed with “double-dippers”/education lobbyists.

These state employees have serious moral, ethical, and conflicts of interest issues. Legislative sessions last from January into May…a school semester. Why would school districts allow teachers to be absent for up to 6 months per year? Not needed? What salary and perks do they retain while absent? Why are they seeking a legislative office?

The above conduct vividly points out that public schools run a protection racket and utilize featherbedding with impunity while failing miserably to academically educate students.. Funding follows failure. (see Common Core Standards)

Note Mat Pitsch’s candidacy. Pitsch heads the Regional Intermodal Transportation Authority. RITA is part of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MP0), a tentacle of United Nations Agenda 21. Maine Governor John Baldacci stated (T.R) “A first step will be to educate the public about the importance of regionalism so cities will support these efforts”. “We need to shock people a little bit”

The Fort Smith Regional Alliance consists of 14 Oklahoma & Arkansas communities, resulting in a diminishment of local control and sovereignty, while ceding authority to unelected boards, advisors, czars. Regionalism manipulates transportation patterns which restrict civil liberties, property rights, etc. Non-elected planning groups are already influencing transit services, regional trails, F.S. bikeway system. Fort Smith formed an alliance with Agenda 21 member Fayetteville, why?

Research Agenda 21/MPO’s and vote no for any government employee.
“Regionalism is Communism”. Source: www.newswithviews.com/iserbyt/iserbyt13.htm

Pitsch said “This is the kind of Regionalism we need; the kind where the greatest good can be achieved because everyone is working together”. Straight out of Karl Marx.

Smart Meter Installed

Smart Meter Installed

My OG&E Smart Meter was installed today. The installer was pleasant and answered all of my questions. Power was out for about 10 seconds. I will be watching my electric bill and attempting to measure the RF radiation output from the meter.

Update on Town Hall Meeting about Smart Meters

by KD5QHR on May 2nd, 2012 at 3:22 pm

The Fort Smith Town Hall meeting Monday evening was probably the same meeting that has been held across the country regarding the installation of the Smart Electric Meters. OG&E presented a power point presentation that explained the Smart Meter and reassured us that it did not spy on our energy uses, did not emit harmful RF Radiation, and did not contain any personal information in the meter. From what I can tell by online research, this was the same, or very close to the same, presentation Californians received when Pacific Gas and Electric started setting up their Smart Grid. The new power structure presented by OG&E amounts to Government control of our lives. Don’t believe me? Research it yourself. OG&E’s plan shows that starting June 1st, any electricity you use between 2pm and 7pm will be charged as much as .46 cents per Kilowatt hour. All the other times, or off peak times will be billed at 4.5 cents per Kilowatt Hour. This is control. They touted how customers will see a reduction in their bills and save money. The only way you can save any money is to curtail your electricity usage between 2pm and 7pm. Keep doing what you are doing now and you will see a great increase in your bill! I haven’t even touched on the harmful RF Radiation emitted by these Smart Meters 24 hours a day. That will be a later post. Happy electricity use!

Sen.Rubio’s plan for amnesty

by joeusa on April 30th, 2012 at 10:16 am

Senator Marco Rubio, April 30, 2012

Your recent utterings and your version of the Dream Act 2.0 conclusively prove that you are a Cuban first (Hispanic) and maybe an American secondly. If that were not the case you would not introduce a Bill that would ultimately lay the foundation for amnesty for 25-35 illegal Mexicans and other assorted Hispanics…all 3rd Worlders, uneducated, gang oriented, impoverished and absorbing every entitlement that productive taxpayers can produce. They are also 30% of the federal prison population.

The criminal nesters bring their failed philosophies and cultures to our republic with no intention of acculturating, embracing Western culture, or abiding by the U.S. Constitution. The fact is, they are spreading their failed philosophies & cultures and are devoid of any substantive accomplishments. Why would we be foolish enough to take on the balkanizing baggage they bring?

You have said that your legislation is a conservative alternative to the Dream Act. Senator, the conservative alternative is to deport all illegal invaders and punish those companies and corporations who are hiring and exploiting them.

You further state “we have to come up with an immigration system that honors both our legacy as a nation of laws and also our legacy as a nation of immigrants”. More PCBS. Senator, you are a one generation naturalized/anchor baby citizen (?), you have no legacy in our republic and certainly no skin in the game. We have laws, if enforced would terminate immediately the illegal invasions by securing borders and arresting individuals and/or corporations who hire/exploit illegals, at which time the aliens would self-deport. Not rocket science Senator.

Federal law 8 USC, Section 1325, 1324a, 1324c, deals with all aspects of the illegal criminal invasions to prevent the Balkanizing of our republic which is reducing it to a 3rd World status.

You further parrot, like many if not most traitorous, gutless legislators, in order to gain favor with minorities, “we’re a nation of immigrants”. Briefly, I will show you that we are a nation With immigrants. A true nation of immigrants would lack a founding group or majority; it would be no nation at all, just a random gathering of people of assorted races, religions, and nationalities, united only by their presence in the same land.

American history is the story of a varied nation and a distinct founding culture.

Immigrants are people who leave one country, one society, and move to another society. But there has to be a recipient society to which the immigrants move. In our case, the recipient society was created by the settlers who came here in the 17th & 18th centuries. It was the settlers’ Anglo-protestant society and culture that has attracted subsequent generations of immigrants to this country…emphasis—legal. It is the Anglo society that created preeminence in America and has sustained it through the ages. 50% of Americans are still from that founding stock. Certainly legal minorities have made contributions, some major, and added flavor.

Senator, your actions and spoken words border on criminality. You are a self-serving politician, looking to game the system for votes, in this case Hispanic votes, to satisfy neoconservative Republicans, with no regard for the burdens you are placing on middleclass Americans who have in all probability subsidized your entire presence, along with your immediate family’s total existence—financially, politically, and otherwise. Social stability is another major issue in the game you are proposing. At least 18 million American citizens with no jobs and you are hell-bent on pushing legislation that will produce incremental amnesty for 25-35 million illegals

Your legislative actions are a slap in every Americans’ face and at this juncture, you can only be classified as a counterfeit American.

One of the many major crises created by immigration, legal and illegal, is the fact that the U.S. is now an enormous welfare state and both 3rd World legals & illegals are sucking it dry.

Nearly every unemployed American could have a job to go to without having a single new job created if the administration enforced the existing immigration laws and conducted investigations into fraud and abuses in the various categories “temporary” work visa programs, such as H1-B visas that enable foreign high-tech workers such as computer programming to come to the U.S. and take jobs and fade into the population.

THEY ARE HERE ILLEGALLY! THEY DESERVE NO QUARTER!
