Donovan’s Reef: Forced Integration of Neighborhoods … Or Else! (Save The Spotted Owls)
Confounded Interest ^ | 07/24/2013 | Anthony B. Sanders

Posted on 07/24/2013 9:12:21 AM PDT by whitedog57

HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan gave an interesting speech at the NAACP meeting in Orlando on July 16th.

The key phrases in his speech are:

“Bottom line: people are being denied their freedom of choice and the benefits of full citizenship. Yet because of the subtle nature of this discrimination, often times, they don’t even know they have been subjected to this abuse.”

“That’s why HUD is enhancing its enforcement techniques by initiating investigations on our own without waiting for individuals to file complaints.”

This reminds me of the Federal government decision to slaughter barred owls … in order to save the spotted owl. Rather than Milton Friedman’s “Free to Choose” model, Donovan is adopting the “Father Knows Best” model.

FatherKnowsBest_S2

“Today, it’s about more than just addressing outright discrimination and access to the housing itself. It’s also about giving every community access to important neighborhood amenities that can make a tremendous difference in a person’s life outcome. I’m talking about good schools, safe streets, jobs, grocery stores, healthcare and a host of other important factors. To help families gain this access – HUD is working to strengthen our stewardship of federal dollars to maximize the impact they have on communities in advancing fair housing goals.”

In other words, Donovan is saying the minority neighborhoods are unsafe and have lousy schools (despite the staggering dollars spent). Rather than promoting jobs and economic growth to help minorities, Donovan is suggesting spreading minorities out into affluent areas (specifically suburbs).

He has suggested this approach before. In fact, he suggested building affordable housing in safe neighborhoods with good schools. Such as in Westchester County in New York.

How would Donovan’s plan work? HUD would create maps of housing and racial composition by neighborhood. If a neighborhood (or other metric) does not have the desired composition, the neighborhood/country/state would be punished by withholding Federal funds … and God knows what else.

Rather than adopt this approach, I would suggest that the Obama Administration focus on job creation giving minority households a chance to escape dangerous neighborhoods. Without job and wage growth, how will Donovan’s plan help other than spreading the misery of poverty? I refer to his approach as “Donovan’s Reef” since the economy is stuck on a reef and Donovan just wants to spread the misery of poverty.

“African-Americans,” Donovan said, “are being denied their freedom of choice.” Yes, by bad government policies, regulation and the growth of the entitlement state.

I suggest that Secretary Donovan read Nobel Laureate James Buchanan’s “The Limits of Liberty: Between Anarchy and Leviathan.” Donovan’s proposal definitely shows up on the leviathan side of the ledger.

Really worrisome. And bureaucrats like this don't change with administrations, they just shuffle around.

DC needs to turned upside-down and shaken.

What’s that going to do to those majority-black voting districts they’ve worked so hard to manufacture?

The purpose of this policy is not to help blacks. It is to destroy the white middle class. It is the Obama equivalent of Stalin’s dekulakization campaign.

They’re going to re-locate innocent black children into neighborhoods full of armed, racist white people who will hunt them down and murder them. Where’s the outrage?

Once the 11 million illegal aliens are all voting, the “black vote” won’t matter as much.

So, this plan is not denying us our “freedom of choice and the benefits of full citizenship” when we pick our neighborhoods by cramming them full of scum?

there is a silver lining

in order to save your neighborhood, you must incorporate like the buildings in NYC. only shareholders may stay in ‘corporate’ housing on ‘corporate’ grounds.

push that out to the town...
then the district...
then the state.

there is nothing the fedgov can do. their ‘laws’ do not impact the inner workings of a private corporation

"What’s that going to do to those majority-black voting districts they’ve worked so hard to manufacture?"

They will skim some of the excess out of safe black districts and insert them into swing districts, bringing them into the Dem fold. That's one of the main things that this is about.

It's about making sure that every neighborhood has its fair share of gangstas.

Subject: Re Socialist Injustice and
:How an examination of the Zimmerman trial of the Neighborhood Watch area exposes it

Since the Zimmernan not guilty verdict has been rendered, the facts of this case are still being shamefully being concealed by the media to the extent they are advancing and are complicit in permitting a putrid injstice to be committed of the worst order,organized and instituted by our governent.While denied. It began as a miscalculation when a surname of a Jewish origin shot upand lighted the heavens like a star shell in the darkest of nights. It would have been difused if the media used pictures of both side by side because they look like cousins. And the area where this occured of paycheck to paycheck struggling homeowners of all races trying to protect themselves had been reported and not some ritzy all white enclave.they portrayed..

Instead the party that hypenated itself from God at their 2012 convention into demo-coms, and believe that all groups should be hyphenated , Afro-American, Hispanic-American, etc..Decided Zimmerman to be the egg that is to be broken,. sacrificed, so that we have an omlet..Just like Stalin did to the Ukrainian land owners known as Kulacks whom he executed, (and used that egg example) in a soclal engineering plan to organize collectives during a Russian drought..Because as we have learned there seems to be the intention to use a collective data base to create collectives.where a utopia of uniforimity of conformity exists. As was done in Detroit, and Oakland California.only this time a poor whitey or blacky won’t be able to move,.

Just as with the energy plan where the cost of fuel used for energy and transportation has skyrocketed placing those on fixed or limited incomes dependent on government handouts because of this regimes socialist policies the sacrifice of Zimmerman must die for . This time to another communist plan. We all move together in centers designed and approved by comrades running the collective who (just like Obamacare aren’t in it) won’t and never live there.

Too bad half of the so called conservatives talk show hosts I’ve been listening to can’t seem to be willing to connect the dots to what a heavy hand his imperious highness played in this despicable example of socialist justice which will turn on an innocent staunch supporter and churn out vicious life threatening propaganda against him just to mete out diatribes to serve the policies of the state . Turning this into a show trial replete with wall to wall tv coverage..The least they can do is get the facts out for tthe reason for the trial and its background instead of cope-ing with Obama moving the ball futhur and furthur away from what was done in a “Neighborhood Watch Area” while they’re milking the emotion response routine like “big brother “does..

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/3044800/posts
An example of this is demonstrated by the “news” circulating in local black or mixed areas in publications like the The New Amsterdam (linked) that unquestionly follow, follow,follow, like martinets., Are they being duped by the handouts of lies they’re getting from this government. and unwilling accomplices to a horrendous and disgusting injustice ? Or are they contributing to it for the good of the collective ? It’s a question only they should be made to answer. For those vehicles which contributed to this disgusting demonstration of disinformation of a continuing injustice should be asked and severly dealt with if they did.. It’s time to hold them accountable” ..

To reiterate; Many Neigborhood Watch areas consist of modest dwellings including the one Zimmerman was a “watch captain in are comprized of single dwelling units or as in Zimmermans case townhouses.His was a mini US melting pot which includes a number of black families which banded together and set up patrols to protect their area.. In this case they were struggling with single and groups of young blacks from other “hoods” on the prowl., In some instances armed, preying on homeowners in his area..Watch activities are closely co-ordinated with local police departments and follow very set protocols. Most conservative hosts demonstrate their ignorance.and are rendering no futhur information then their listeners get from MSM .thus allowing the MSM to set an agenda of distraction from this regimes history of corruption and scandal..

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3043817/posts

Usually such neighborhood watch areas are posted with a window or garden sign announcing that fact and those patrols will observe any one; black,white, green, or blue .If the area is “gated” even stop and question them. .When such an area is “gated” public right of way is restricted to the entrances and exits to the area.. .That fact and the area wasn’t even divulged by any of the so called media because it wouldn’t fit their agenda if true journalisim existed, because it couldn’t support any racial assertion or questioning of movement. ..

It would even explain Zimmerman’s action taken during his surveilance of Martin because this watch volunteer got out of his car and continued his observation on foot because he lost sight of Martin. In many watch areas that’s done frequently when the subject disappears from view they may leave their vehicle and continue surveilance on foot.. ....

According to the testimony there was an exchange after which as Zimmerman was going back to his vehicle Martin attacked him and was severly beating him to the extent he feared for his life. To put it bluntly Saint Trayvon was a smart ass punk who attacked a guy with a gun and got killed in the struggle over it when he had the guy on the ground.beating the hell out of him..

Obama in his latest attempt threw more gas on the fire by portraying Saint Trayvon as what he was, an irreponsible pot head and subsequently found to be a petty thief ..That explains Bengahazi, where he left a top American diplomat and his aides die and the rest of his scandals Obama hopes his diatribes will hide. .

Even after learning the shooter was a staunch Obama supporter, not Jewish, (very quickly dismissed ?) and a dark skinned “hispanic”. Obama did nothing to curtail the hyperbole or tone down his edict creating this as a white racist episode. Obama the boss of bosses and gets all the information about anybody ignored Zimmerman’s defence of a homeless black maltreated by a local police officer which resulted in the disciplining of the offending officer that Zimmerman fearlessly waged a campaign for and got.. .

The socialists controlling the media propaganda machine oblidged.. They began claiming the exclusive “gated” neighborhood watch captain was a “white hispanic” . Used a picture of a 12 year old Martin instead of the 6 foot 165 pound person he was vs the smaller 140 pound lttle fatty neighborhood watch captain. Worse yet allowed his US Attorney General to use questionable activities to promote a show trial and ignored using a threat of prosecution to black militant groups threatening the watch captain’s life.

Do not confuse todays politicians and their ahearants in the press and academia as followers of “Liberalism”. . These are die hard God denying I’m right you’re wrong socialists incapable of independent thinking running todays media.. Devising political campaigns of lies and manipulated inflamatory languange disguised as “news or reliable information” designed to destroy any opponent or group to what is edict-ed by their leader. You must wind up goose-stepping in unison protecting the collective otherwise we will through the use of the government we control step on you and squash you like some insect..

Why is this being done ? Who accompained Obama on his many trips around the world at taxpayer expence ? Were they the heavy hitters or their friends holding the president’s hand ? Seems like that could be considered pay back at US taxpayer expence. Isn’t that an impeachable offense ?That has never been investigated thus far by the Republicans in control of the House let alone the media. Now if somebody even suggests impeachment. What better way to discourage that by organizing the base for riots in the streets ?

In a similar methodology,

“Using the delicate euphemism “limited experimental removal,” a federal agency said Tuesday it plans to start shooting one species of owl to save another.”

IOW, one micromanagement template fits all!
