Oh, gee. I meant to ping everyone to # 98, and # 1.

“Environmental justice” describes the commitment of the Federal Government, through its policies, programs, and activities, to avoid placing disproportionately high and adverse effects on the human health and environment of minority or low-income populations. As described in the 2010 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR), our Nation’s vision of homeland security is a homeland safe and secure, resilient against terrorism and other hazards, and where American interests and aspirations and the American way of life can thrive. In seeking to fulfill this vision, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) aspires to avoid burdening minority and low-income populations with a disproportionate share of any adverse human health or environmental risks associated with our efforts to secure the Nation. DHS joins with other departments and agencies to appropriately include environmental justice practices in our larger mission efforts involving federal law enforcement and emergency response activities.

“Poor people”, manufactured by the government, to denounce their next door neighbor, to insure a government agent’s job and to make sure we all feel guilty but them thus enabling property seizure and accomodation to their bossing our everyday lives.
A liberal utopia of extravagant exploitation and control is thus borne, with all kinds of government drones out there to make sure they catch us before we can catch them, that those who refuse to denounce neighbors be “caught” by drones in the act of not denouncing them.
Welcome to the new Amerikkka where we neither have security nor liberty.
“Does anyone even remember the 911 ‘Work Accident’?”
I do and apparently DHS does not.

“That document was signed before the Department of Homeland Security existed.”
Jew hater Obama brought EO 1898 back from the dead with his “Memorandum of Understanding” in 2010.
This only promises to get worse. It will not get any better.
God help us all.

Another thing to despise the libs for.

So you live in civilization, eh ?

Your government on crack...
It’s reassuring to be able to see the air you breathe.
Indeed.
The gift that keeps on taking......
Long story short: We are paying the leeches in our society more and more so they won’t riot and try to steal your stash.
FUJC, FUBO and FUDHS
Have we all forgotten that under Obama the number one role of NASA is: “...outreach to the Muslim community.”
“Scientific Justice” ?
LOL!
“Your government on crack...”
...while drinking moonshine by the gallon.
For those who don't have the patience to read the whole thing, here are the low lights of the above document
See synopsis at # 1.....
*This is now government policy. Not by an act of Congress mind you, but by an Executive Order.*
Don't miss the remainder of the last paragraph; here's a snipit:
"VJ:Well, the only reason that we have the unsustainable accounting that we have right now is because incinerators, dumping grounds, and sacrifice zones were put where poor people live. It would never have been allowed if you had to put all the incinerators and nasty stuff in rich people's neighborhoods; we'd have had a sustainable economy a long time ago. We'd have had a clean and green economy a long time ago. It's the environmental racism that allowed the powerful people in society to turn a blind eye for decades to the downsides of the industrial system that got us to this point.

Buried down deep there is a glimmer of reasonableness here, but only as background. To explain:
America has, since the 1960s, increasingly become dominated by NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) zoning, for anything and everything perceived as property value related “negatives”.
This started with industries that openly polluted groundwater, surface water, the air, landfills, crematoriums, etc. The middle class no longer wanted to live around that stuff, which because the middle class is so large, presented a problem.
The first response was to overload those places where the stuff had long been dumped, mostly where the poor lived, since they didn’t organize or particularly care about it, as long as they could live there cheaply.
This quickly became so obnoxious and toxic that the government intervened to improve disposal of pollutants in a more orderly manner.
Up to this point it was reasonable.
However, the process continued. Soon the middle classes didn’t just want to NIMBY things that were hazardous or unpleasant, but not aesthetically or socially acceptable, and then things that did not positively improve (by their lights) where they lived.
The poor areas remained poor, however, and crime ridden, and generally poorly maintained by those who lived there, and this presented the “flip side” to the problem. Who wants to put a “nice” business in a “nasty” area, full of unpleasant people?
And this is where scoundrels like Van Jones enter the picture. They crave power and money at the expense of those who have earned it, which they offer to use to “uplift” those who have made no effort to uplift themselves. Though in truth they are indifferent to their supporters and want the power and money for themselves.
Therefore his argument to the simpletons is simple: help me to destroy the “good” neighborhoods of those who earned the right to live there and work to keep them “good”, and this will somehow make life better for those of you who live in “bad” neighborhoods and make no effort to make them better.
