O’Brien 2020: MicroInterview with Ken Eyring

by Skip

Other then the MicroInterview with Di Lothrup, all of the MicroInterviews I did were done after the rally had completed.  Usually I try to ask just one or two questions (er, remember: micro) from all.  It is interesting to listen to those willing to talk; invariably they have different answers to the same questions.  I … Read more

Compelled Leadership = Our Government for Sale

Sununu HB1319By Ken Eyring

NH is open for business. But not like you may think.

When (then) Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was campaigning to “sell” the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) to the American people, she said, “We have to pass the Bill to see what’s in it.” She wasn’t kidding. The ACA contained many unknowns. It was vaguely written and delegated the specifics and interpretations of the law to be defined by unelected bureaucrats AFTER Obamacare became law. The rest is history.

With the ideological Transgender “Bathroom Bill” HB1319, New Hampshire’s “Republican” Governor, Chris Sununu, is modeling his leadership after Democrat Speaker Pelosi.

Ideologies in our Schools (Part 3)

by Op-Ed

education-indoctrinationBy Ken Eyring

This is the third part in a series that discusses indoctrination of our children through the introduction of ideologies in our schools. The focus below is in response to a Windham student, who took offense with my previous postings and mischaracterized my positions. You can find Skylar Hebert’s April 12th letter to the editor in the Windham Independent here.

Dear Skylar,

In your letter to me in the April 12 Windham Independent, you made comments that indicate you misunderstood the messages of my previous letters and therefore mischaracterized my positions. My letters are against our school district bringing ideologies into our schools and classrooms.

My letter was not against your right to protest – which I support, but not during school hours.

Guest Post: Ken Eyring – Will Senate Bill 11 Confiscate Control of ALL NH Waters?

by Steve MacDonald

On May 22nd, the NH House of Representatives will vote on Senate Bill 11.  It was written to enable Exeter and Stratham to jointly form a water/sewer district — but that capability already exists in State RSA Chapters 53-A, 33-B, 38, and 36.  These RSAs enabled the creation of the Merrimack Valley Regional Water District (7 towns).

The Bill is unnecessary and should be killed.  It contains broad, far reaching language, including this;

“Therefore, the general court declares and determines that the waters of New Hampshire constitute a limited and precious public resource to be protected, conserved, and managed in the interest of present and future generations.”

The “waters of New Hampshire” could be broadly interpreted to mean all water resources are defined as public resources regardless of location (Public or Private Property), and regardless of source (lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, wells…).

This would set a dangerous unconstitutional precedent, severing ownership of water from private property. It could also lead to private wells and septic systems being taxed and “protected, conserved and managed” by newly created, powerful government bodies – whether or not you wish to participate in a water/sewer district.

A Jail Sentence For Drinking Water

by Rick Olson

“All oppression creates a state of war.”  —Simone de Beauvoir

Gary Harrington Goes to Jail for Collecting Rain Water

On Wednesday, July 25 Skip featured a Guest Post from Ken Eyring. The central thesis of Mr. Eyring’s post was that the NH Water Sustainability Commission gave a low-profile public notice seeking input from the public regarding management of  Granite State water resources over the next 25 year period.

On Sunday July 29, Skip followed up with a response from House Democrat Representative Judith Spang  to Ken Eyring. As shown, Spang made several, “The state owns the water, not you,” implied assertions.”

NH Rep Judith Spang replies to Ken Eyring – defends the taking of water rights from property owners. Ken rebuts

by Skip

Earlier this week, I had put up a Letter by Ken Eyring concerning Gov. Lynch’s Water Sustainability Commission that without any authorizing legislation or statute, is in the process of taking away your water rights.  I wrote the following preamble to that Letter:

Did you know that there is an executive commission that was set by Gov. Lynch to talk about water?  No big deal you say – yes it is.  Many homes in NH, if not most, depend on the water on their land for wells – or to be more technically correct, under your land.  Common law has been that what resides under your land belongs to you.  Period.  How do you think all those “shale millionaires” are now rich?  Wildcatters and energy companies are paying big bucks to explore and to frack the natural gas that lays under their land – and because they own it.

This “Lynch’s Last Gift” (“LLG”) wishes to administratively change this.  No House debate.  No Senate debate.  Just poorly noticed “listening session” (mostly during the day when ordinary people are working – but certainly attended by those that have NO problem in determining that your water belongs to them, er, all of us – the Collective.  THEY may not own the water, but they, sure as shootin’, are going to be the ones that will make the rules on how you can (or cannot) use that water.

That is under your property.  That you paid for when you bought your property (know it or not).

Well, Ken got a return letter back from the Commission: NH Representative Judith Spang (Democrat from Durham in Strafford District 7, NH Rep since 1998) and presents the basic argument of “it’s for the common good” (another one of the basic Liberal philosophies, like “You don’t need that” and “But it’s good for you”):

Dear Ken,

I believe you are misconstruing the statements made by the Commission, which are pretty broad and not aimed at your private well, by and large.

I have been the Chair of the 6-year legislative Groundwater Commission that looked at many of the same issues.  We found that:

GrokTV Event: Brookfield Planning Board – presentation on “Sustainable Communities Initiative” – Part 2

by Skip

Ken Eyring continues and finishes his presentation of some of the paperwork that just never seems to stop once a local community signs onto the “Granite State Future Plan” (the NH adaptation of the Federal program called “Sustainable Communities Initiative”  operated by a consortium of the Federal EPA, the Federal Dept. of Transportation, and the Federal Housing and Urban Development).

Sidenote: viewed from one angle, that last department’s name is indicative of the goal – to fundamentally transform how Americans will be allowed to live by creating “urban development” villages with high density housing and just public transit: not just bringing the city to rural areas but making rural communities into “micro-cities” where everyone is forced to live together instead of the types of town NH has historically had).

Some main points, overall:

  • The endpoint has already been established
  • Local control will be a thing of the past
  • Why is taxpayer money being used against taxpayers best interest?
  • Those presenting “the plan” are not being honest – they are not upfront about what towns are about to get themselves into and not honest about the techniques being used to do so.

GrokTV Event: Brookfield Planning Board – presentation on “Sustainable Communities Initiative” – Part 1

by Skip

Monday night, the Brookfield, NH Planning Board heard a presentation by Ken Eyring and Eileen Mishimo on their research concerning the Federal Government pushing their Sustainable Communities Initiative (called Granite State Future Plan here in NH, a “massive entitlement / welfare program”).  Those that are pushing this agenda are doing so by making it seem innocuous in the beginning but based on the hundreds of hours of research that Ken and Eileen have done on primary documents, it results in a virtual takeover of local communities by land use and zoning changes and collected demographic studies that are then used in lawsuits when Federal “standards” are broached by local communities (i.e., how local towns give up their sovereignty via “Federal money with invisible strings attached” and “strumg up” by their own efforts to comply with ensnaring federal regulations and mandates).

Ken Eyring from the Southern NH 9.12 Project presented first in his slow, quiet, methodical manner (hey, he’s a software engineer – what else would you expect!).  Here are the first two segments:

GrokTV Event: Part 3 – Mary and Rick Hebbard on “Scenic Corridor (a subset of the Sustainable Communities Initiative / Granite State Future Plan) Impact on Dover, NH”

by Skip

At the same meeting that Ken Eyering and Eileen Mashimo spoke about the loss of local control that happens when NH local town fathers sign onto the Sustainable Communities Initiative / Granite State Future Plan being pushed by the Federal entities of the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development), Mary and Rick Hebbard spoke about a subset of the “Feds helping locally” with a small part of this Federalizing local town with a program called Scenic Corridor.

Whew – a long sentence, but this is not a small topic either.  Mary and Rick outlined that while the Feds “innocently” present the program as “help, along with money”, the parts that aren’t publicly talked about lock local communities into organizing and running their town, by hijacking zoning restrictions and loss of the control of private property owners over their property if they are ruled “non-compliant”:

Again, listen to the things that they bring up that AREN’T immediately discussed by the point folks and that ONLY become known when concerned and curious citizens start to dig into what the “fine details” are.

Ask yourself – if programs like this are just so darn wicked good, why isn’t the ENTIRE story and long term ramifications being brought to the fore right from the “get-go”?  Why is it that these Federalies have had to hire a PR firm to “persuade” the local (and they would add “yokels”) that this is such a good deal?

That should alert any NH citizens that some bamboozling might be going on here – for if things were straight forward, open, and transparent, WHY the need for a PR firm?

Rick adds his comments after the jump:

GrokTV Event: Part 2 – Eileen Mashimo on “Sustainable Communities Initiative” that will Federalize local communities

by Skip

After Ken Eyring presented the overall situation (the joint program of “Sustainable Communities Initiative” by the EPA, the Federal Dept. of Transportation, and by Housing and Urban Development), Eileen Mashimo stood up.  She is a researcher and she was the one that started to follow and trackdown all the known details – and the further … Read more

GrokTV Event: Is the EPA / DoT / HUD “Sustainable Communities Initiative” a stealth way to Federalize local communities?

by Skip

After all, that single piece of “non-binding” paper of extremely nice sounding verbiage is that quintessential “something for nothing” from a Government that is “here to help you”.

Problem is, after now being a political blogger and a (former) Budget Committee member, I have a very jaded eye when ANY level of Government says “we can help!”  as the unstated words are always “but with strings attached”.  Or with this “Sustainable Communities Initiative” that is being pushed onto local NH communities (and nationwide as well), those behind this Progressive Enviro’s wet dream, they are actually denying the depth of the “strings attached” (heh – more like string strung together like a net).

Now, after reading that above paragraph, some of you might be thinking “Yo, Skip, that tinfoil hat is reflecting too much sun into your eyes”.  In this case, however, I wish I was going off a bit half-cocked; I’ve heard of Agenda 21 and other similar stuff, but when Ken Eyring and Eileen of the Southern NH 912 Project were done with their presentation at the Rye Republican meeting, visions of snippets of stuff I’ve been reading for years all started to settle into place.  No longer random stuff – this is an attempt to start transforming how Americans live and work.  We all know the transformations of our energy industry that the EPA is now doing (regulating coal out of existence, demanding more of other sources), Secretary of Transportation Ray Lahood has made no secret that his Federal Department programs are meant to decrease our use of mobility and instead, create “walkable” communities.   Sounds nice, but make no mistake – this is not to just make nice neighborhoods  – it is policy to get us out of and get rid of cars.  Remember: while Freedom can be measured by the choices we can make, they are all about the choices they will allow us.  And one they wish to deny us is mobility – “walkable” and public transportation will be the choices (I have another post from last weekend’s foray at  NetRoots Nation coming  soon exactly on this point).

But – I am getting ahead of myself.  Here is Ken and his presentation on this initiative known as the Granite State Future Plan – Part 1 of 3:
