CM PRESS # 97


TEA PARTY LEADERS ANNOUNCE A NEW FEDERATION
If done right, and if some phony politicians with their own agendas are kept at arm's length, this is a logical step for the movement and could make it a political king maker in the 2010 elections.

MORE NEOCON WARMONGERING PROPAGANDA

Here's the headline that showed up on Drudge and some other sites today: "Iran vows to strike USA if attacked." Link

Sounds like the Iranians want to nuke New York or Los Angeles, doesn't it? That's what the warmongering neocons want you to think. They want to whip up war fever in the U.S. for an attack on Iran.

However, when you follow the link (also from Drudge), you have to read way down in the article that wasn't even given the almost hysterical Drudge headline shown above to find that an Iranian simply said that if the U.S. attacks Iran, that Iran will attack U.S. forces in the middle east.

That's hardly an earth shattering statement. Any nation that is attacked can be expected to attack the troops that are attacking it.

If the U.S. posed a threat to Monaco (which is smaller than Central Park in NY) or Mexico or Iceland, someone in those nations would also say that if the U.S. attacked, they'd attack our troops right back.

Big deal.

STORY ABOUT A CONDOR EGG

Link

The real lesson in the above story is not the one that is being told.


And, that lesson is this: Nature doesn't care which species live or die. Those that don't breed, don't adapt and don't compete become extinct. This applies to humans just as it does to all other organisms.

MORE INFORMATION ON THE TOP SECRET FAIRGROUNDS SALE
(Have faith in the City Government--remember, these are the folks who brought you Triangle Square)

Link

Wouldn't you like to know more about the negotiations on the sale of the Fairgrounds, since you will be affected in some way by whatever is decided in your name?

Look folks, secrecy is sometimes needed in negotiations, but if the City, as previously reported in the Daily Pilot, has the exclusive right to negotiate, then all this secrecy may not be needed.

Let's put this in other terms. Suppose you spot a house you want to buy. You then hire a real estate agent to present an offer on that house. The real estate agent (who will profit from what he does) tells you that you can't see the offer or know what he's negotiating. He then prepares and presents the offer that you will have to stand behind, even though you don't have a clue about what's in the offer.

His secret offer is finally accepted and you are stuck with a deal that you may not have agreed to had you been privy to the negotiations. Perhaps the purchase price is too high, or maybe the terms are onerous, or maybe you didn't get the concessions from the seller that you wanted.

Also remember this: In real estate transactions, the terms are more important than the final price.

Want a simple example? The CM PRESS will agree right here and now to buy the Fairgrounds for $300 million dollars. Our terms: We'll pay the state $ 10.00 per year until the $ 300 million is paid off.

By the way, it's already being stated (see the above linked Daily Pilot article) that the Fairgrounds will have to service the debt itself (we wonder if this will end up as the case) when and if a deal is reached. This means that the uses of the Fairgrounds will have to be intensified.

Thus, get ready for more loud music if you live near the Fairgrounds and get ready for more traffic.


And, here's something else to think about. We believe that the Great Park wants to be the venue for the annual OC Fair. So, will we end up with dueling fairs, or no fair at all at the Costa Mesa Fairgrounds? And, if so, how much revenue will Costa Mesa lose under either of these possibilities?

Fox News just trots out the same tired old war mongering neocons with their tired old ideas.
