New California's effort to give rural and semi-rural areas more political power is a positive move. No one espouses the idea, -left or right, but it's my position that urban areas should be limited to 100,000 people or less. Nature is a powerful servant of God. When people are allowed to become too domesticated and citified they lose touch with reality, with God. How would you suggest ameliorating the condition of urban areas that exceed the limit of 100,000 people? IDK. Some people like big ugly cities, and most rural people like it that way (stay in your city). I'm curious as to why it's not part of the platform of any political party, the idea that smaller communities humanize and personize people, while huge ones depersonalize and dehumanize us. An index and affect of humankinds reprobation, I'm thinking.

The shops are locally owned and there are no ugly strip malls, chain stores, drive through anything or huge concrete car parks. Unfortunately there are no open spaces either, but there are plenty of local events, community areas and street parties or streets closed for children's play. Basically there doesn't need to be a limit of 100,000 to the city for a community feel simply more walking and less driving/ commuting going on.

The context of this conversation shows that fascism is alive and well in many minds, even the religious amongst us.

There's impoverished, run down rural areas too. I like the idea of biking and walking more. If people insist on their love affair with cars, smaller communities would help alleviate traffic, smog, and noise.

They will be using Gondolas soon, even Europe leads the way in decreasing the use of carbon fuels. Unfortunately for them the USA is still a major user of fossil fuels and the efffect is felt world wide. Earth will be hell before we know it.

I went to another meeting. Same stuff sort of. Scott Bennett spoke. I bought his book Shell Game.
It's subtitled, 'The Betrayal and Cover-up by the US Government of Union Bank of Switzerland's Terrorist Finance Connection to Edward Snowden, Booz Allen Hamilton, US Central Command, and the Clinton Foundation'.

Bennett was offering another book, on 911. He believes our government elaborately conspired with terrorists to give a cause or a reason to become the change agent in the middle East: to peddle golden arches there and crosses.
The tea party and new California movements have strong libertarian ties.

"Union Bank of Switzerland" hasn't existed since 1998. Since then, its name is simply UBS. The fact that he made that beginner's error in the title of his book makes me wonder how well researched the rest of the book is. And if he was in the know, but took liberties with the name reasons unknown to me, where else in his book is he taking liberties with the truth for reasons unknown?

IDK anything about that.
One point of credibility he challenged me on was saying the twin towers could not have imploded from jet fuel, therefore the government's narrative was wrong.
That's wrong on two accounts.
1) America's vitriale would have been equally aroused if the twin towers had only been destroyed from their points of impact to the top. It wasn't necessary to implode the buildings using supplemental bombastics.
2) It's well know that metal structures fail quicker than wood structures. Wood has to be critically burnt through to lose its structural integrity. In the presence of intense heat steel expands deflects and distorts outside of it's geometric integrity.

The twin towers collapsed by a process called "pancaking", no matter what level the impact triggers the domino collapse.

To return the discussion from pyroclastics to New California...
Scott encouraged us to build ecumenical bridges of common family values with minorities.

Joseph and Jesus had one ...
I was talking about the Scott's book with my new neighbor. He said, "The truth is treason in a world of lies".

The real problem with his book is he wrote it with a typewriter in prison and published it that way. Wouldn't he know that modern people only accept modern means of printing? Hell..... Why did he think a book was expedient in the first place. So many trees..to cut. If he was uber-good, he would have dedicated his story to the web.

I attended another Feather River Tea Party patriot meeting. Debbie Bacigalulpi spoke. As a cattle rancher, patriot, or whoever else she may be, she fears agenda 21. This was a United nations vision for all nations for the 21rst century. Bush senior signed on. Then congressional or Senate member Nancy Pelosi led.
Pros:
Strategic growth
Cons:
Centralized, eletist control.
