“President George W. Bush issued an executive order on Friday [June 23] to limit the U.S. government from taking private property only for the benefit of other private interests, like corporations. The order came exactly a year after a divided Supreme Court ruled a city could take a person’s home or business for a development project to revitalize a depressed local economy, a practice known as eminent domain. ‘The federal government is going to limit its own use of eminent domain so that it won’t be used for purely economic development purposes,’ White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said,” quoting Reuters.

Am glad to read this. It is very radical to think a big developer unknown corporation could use eminent domain in this town. A recent Reuters article stated Hong Kong Casino money is being used for small town U.S development. This is alot of money and it sounded as though this must be going on all over the nation.
Hi Steve: Could you please change “unknown corporation” to say “global corporation” on the comment I just posted. I’ll get better on keeping notes.
Hi Steve again: Not part of my comment, but I noted the Reuters article on Hong Kong because l2 years ago the owners of the subject l,200 acres were said to be two Chinese men who were in town for sometime. I guess to promote the development. The City minutes and staff reports are difficult to access. Also, I just read on Google News headline from true bible.com that “Bible scholars predict UN Plaza in NYC will be hit on June 30/July l by a nuclear terrorist attack. We are now 98% confident that the UN Plazawill be hit by a terrorist nuclear bomb b etween Thursday evening June 29th and Tuesday evening July 4, 2006. They strongly advise to leave NYCover the weekend and not come back until evening of July 4”.
Wait , what’s today ? I missed the bombing ? It wasn’t on my tv….oh well.
Sorry,
I was replying to the guy above me telling everyone to leave New York from June 29th – July 4th or they were going to be killed. As if the world did not have enough empty prophets of doom and fortune tellers all seeing knowledge with their forecast for future terror Gail Cane.
Yes, there will be more bombings, yes more people are going to die, we will lose our freedoms “fighting terrorism” and all of us will one day be pushed to take the one world mark in order to buy or sell which is the whole underlying goal of this terror campaign to push us into a one world Roman Empire reborn. This we all know. Also what we know is those prophets of doom whose words do not come true are not from God, yet they are the spirit of the Anitchrist.
So if you really want to help people…keep your terror spewwing ignorance to yourself and stop attempting to spread false fear upon an already burdened society.
Go outside and spend what few days we have left of freedom and enjoy them rather than worrying about tomorrow.
Keep up the great work on your blog. Best wishes WaltDe
