NaturalNews: They knew all along that Obamacare would cause millions to lose insurance‏

Dear Lisbon Reporter and  NaturalNews readers,

Does the Obamacare fiasco ever end?

Today a top Democrat admitted that they knew all along that Obamacare would cause millions of Americans to lose their health insurance.

But they decided to lie to the public anyway, claiming you could "keep your existing insurance" if you wanted to:

Middle School Boys Soccer Results, 10/28/13, PWS vs Gardiner‏

PW Sugg's Greyhounds triumphed over Gardiner's Falcons in an away game  
rematch ending 2-1.
 
The 'Hounds took control of the field from the first sound of the  
whistle and worked hard against a tough Falcon defense. The first goal  
was made when Halfback Ben LeClair (10) made a crisp pass to the sure  
footed Striker Jonah Sautter (15) who put Lisbon on the scoreboard  
just 2 minutes after play began. Sautter scored again after working  
through a tired opposing defense with a shot from just inside the 18  
to end the half at 2-0. After the break the Falcons again attempted to  
work the ball forward only to find 'Hounds like Halfback Captain  
Steven Martin (12) repeatedly denying their advances. It wasn't until  
the final 4 minutes of play when the frustrated Falcon offense finally  
found the back of their opponents net and ended the possibility for a  
shutout.
 
The Greyhounds final game of the season will be a rematch at home  
against Oak Hill on Wednesday, October 30.

Do we need government?

Probably not

 This is for all the people who don't think we would have roads, protection, or anything else, without "taxes" (i.e., mass extortion) and the "guidance and management" (i.e., violent domination) of "government" (i.e., a parasitical ruling class).

Secret Governments Are Killing America; GOPDD: Bob Woodward: ‘Secret government’ at the root of problems

 Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward

via Politico
by Caitlin Emma

Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward said Sunday a huge “secret government” and a government on “automatic pilot” has led to many of the concerns now making headlines.

“They need to review this secret world,” he said of the Obama administration on “Face the Nation” on CBS. “You get to a point where it’s what do you worry about? Secret government.”

National Security Agency spying both domestic and abroad and the disastrous rollout of the Affordable Care Act are the results, he said.

“We have an incredibly powerful government that gets on automatic pilot,” he said. People aren’t checking all of the boxes and the administration didn’t properly “practice” Obamacare.

MORE CORRUPTION IN LISBON

Lisbon Town Manager Stephen G. Eldridge

MORE CORRUPTION IN LISBON

Right off the bat, I want to apologize for the length of this article but it cannot be helped.  This needs to be said in its entirety.  On September 17, 2013 at the Town Council meeting, one of the agenda items was the “winter sand bids”.  The Town Manager presented the winter sand bids.  Councilor Pesce said and I am quoting from the minute of the meeting.  “Councilor Pesce pointed out that the sieve testing results were not submitted with Premier’s bid and that he just received them today.  Mr. Eldridge said the testing company was at fault, the Premier Development submitted their sample but the testing company requested another one, and that this one was received late today so it was added to the agenda.  Councilor Mason asked that the reason for the delay be verified.  Councilor Pesce said because he just received this information that he was not comfortable making a decision tonight and requested this item be moved to the next agenda.”  Councilors Garrison, LaRochelle, Mason, Lunt and Pesce voted to table this item until the next meeting.

 

Lisbon Town Councilor Dillon Pesce

Our youngest councilor has the ability to see right through our Town Manager trying to pull a fast one.  The bid for Premier Development was not complete in accordance with the Request for Procurement (RFP).  Councilor Pesce recognized this and tried to make sure everyone was provided a fair playing field when submitting bids for town projects.

At the October 1, 2013, the saga continues and here is what took place, again from the minutes.  “Mr. Eldridge said this item was tabled at the last Council meeting.  Ryan Leighton said RFPs were sent out to Carl Huston Excavating, Copp Excavating, Dube Gravel, Premier Development, and Pat Cry Trucking.  Bids were received from Carl Huston Excavating, Dube Gravel, and Premier Development.  He recommended Premier Development at $4.49 per yard.”

“Councilor LaRochelle said all of them have presented the criteria for sand.  Mr. Leighton said yes, they have all presented passing analysis of the materials they intend to sell us.  Councilor LaRochelle said so your recommendation is the low bid from Premier Development at $4.49 per yard.  Mr. Leighton said low bid, closet pit to the shop.”

“Councilor Pesce said for the Premier Development test; it is on the back of Carl Huston’s bid and I don’t see anything filled in, like any sort of company that did the test.  Mr. Leighton said Shaw Brothers.  I contacted Premier Development and it was Shaw Brothers.”

“Councilor Pesce said I don’t have anything filled out on the bottom, nothing on the top.  And the project is ETTI when it was submitted by Premier, so I don’t think this is filled out as it should be.  All the others have very detailed companies with names and signature sand this one does not.”

 “Councilor Ward said is that because this was the same one we used last year.  Mr. Leighton said yes.  Councilor Ward said how many years have we used them.  Mr. Leighton said last year was the first year.”

“Councilor Ward said did we have some issues last year.  Mr. Leighton said there were some questions when we first started hauling and they started taking material from a different stockpile and the material was fine.  This year the material is better than what was presented last year.”

“Councilor Pesce said I think we should look at Carl Huston or Dube Gravel just because this is the second round with this and it still isn’t filled in.”

Once again, Councilor Pesce recognized the fact that Mr. Eldridge, Mr. Leighton, Councilors LaRochelle and Councilor Ward were trying to pull a fast one.  Awarding the contract to Premier Development was not in the best interest of the town on so many different reasons.

Now I am going to provide information which has been obtained by several reliable sources.  I cannot verify all of it at this time.  The other day I was at the Transfer Station and I noticed they were delivering the winter sand and it looked like high quality sand.  I asked about the sand and was told that Premier Development originally delivered the sand and when it was tested it failed two times.  A decision was make to reject Premier Development and go with Carl Huston.  Apparently, the sand was from Carl Huston’s pit.  How they could deliver the sand before it was approved by the council is another mystery.  I have been told that this will be on the next Town Council agenda.

I am amazed how easy Mr. Eldridge and Mr. Leighton can manipulate several members of the council with the exception of Councilors Pesce and Lunt.  It sure is easy to see which councilors are members of the “Good Old Boys” network and which truly have the best interest of the town at heart.  Councilor Pesce is very young in age but very wise when it comes to dealing with the truth.  Councilor Pesce has the ability to see when Mr. Eldridge is trying to pull a fast one on the council.  Councilor Pesce is always looking to do what is best for this community.  Councilor Lunt on numerous occasions puts the best interest of the community at heart.

Lisbon Town Councilor Mark Lunt

The community should be proud of these two councilors and encourage other councilors to follow their lead.

Lisbon Senior Jenna Clifford Volunteers Internationally‏

LISBON HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR PROVIDES INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY SERVICE

Lisbon – During the summer months, most teenagers spend their time off from school working extra shifts at their places of employment, enjoying the beach, spending time with friends, and relaxing with their favorite pastime activity.  Over the summer, Jennifer Lynn Clifford, a member of the Lisbon High School Class of 2014, and a young adult Lisbon volunteer, embarked on a journey of passion, commitment and dedication by volunteering her summer in Ghana, Africa.

  Jenna, participated in a youth trip through the Free the Children group.  Group members built a school along the coast in a small village of Asemkow,  a few hours from the capitol Accra, (population 800 people).  Jenna and other members of the group broke ground for a third school building.  Volunteers made and carried cement for the two standing buildings scheduled to open in September.  Students also worked on a bathroom and sanitation project, broadened their cultural horizons in the Ghanaian world, and joined young girls from the community on their water walks.   Students witnessed first-hand how much of an issue clean water is  in the region.  

Volunteers witnessed children as young as three carrying water three times a day.   Jenna saved and worked toward bringing this trip to fruition with her own fundraising efforts over the past four years.  “ I wanted to strengthen education globally and by doing so I hope to increase an appreciation for education in my home community,” shared Jenna.  Jenna, is the daughter of Christie Clifford of Lisbon Falls and Dan Clifford of Sabattus.  FMI on more projects and events by Lisbon student visit us on Facebook at Community Resource News in Lisbon Schools or call 754.0021 or email mmillhime@lisbonschoolsme.org.

Middle School Boys Soccer Results, 10/17/13, PWS vs Monmouth‏

The Lisbon Greyhounds were defeated by the formidable Monmouth  
Mustangs in a tough shutout match ending 0-4 on a chilly Monmouth  
afternoon.
 
The first half had the Greyhounds scrambling to penetrate the Mustang  
defense with little success. Monmouth, while having some difficulty  
was able to make the most of a few good opportunities and score.  
Monmouth's Midfielder Avery Pomerleau (8) was the thorn in Lisbon's  
side that scored the Mustangs first 3 goals with Forward Mason Dann  
(18) putting in 1 more just two minutes before the end of the half.  
Greyhounds rallied after the break to regain control of the field  
denying any additional goals from the opposition but aside from some  
excellent plays like those made by Wingmen Scott Smith (4), Noah  
Austin (8), and Striker Jonah Sautter (15), Lisbon just couldn't get  
close enough for many decent shots on goal.
 
The [3-7] Greyhounds will have their penultimate game away at Gardiner  
for a rematch with the Falcons on Monday, October 28.

Bullying Is Alive And Well In Lisbon, don't think so, Well Read On Comrades!!!!!

BULLYING IN LISBON

It is truly amazing how our Town Manager is paid close to $100,000 tax dollars and totally ignores our Charter, provides false information to the council, does not keep the residents informed and cannot even provide our Town Council with current information.  The only function our Town Manager does is to provide false information to the council which results in illegal contracts, and striping the citizen’s right to free speech.  The Town Manager keeps information from the people resulting in secretive meetings.

In this day of electronic information being passed in order to keep people informed, the town maintains an electronic bulletin board and a web site.  Both of these devices’ sole purpose is to provide the residents of Lisbon with current information.  However, last Tuesday there was a Town Council Workshop which did not appear anywhere on these devices.  The web site has an “Event” calendar in which all the meetings are generally posted.  The last few months there have been several meetings that did not appear on this calendar.  These are secret meetings because the Public has no knowledge they are being held.  This is like the pre-meetings held by the council illegally in the Town Manager’s office prior to Town Council meetings/workshops or even better holding meeting at “Chummy’s”.

I attended last Tuesday nights' council workshop and the Town Manager provided both the council and the audience with a packet containing several listings of all the road/streets in town and there condition in 2006.  I am sure; we all realize that the condition of these roads has changed in the past seven years.  Trying to make a decision, utilizing data that is seven years old, is irresponsible to say the least.  But what is even more disturbing is the Lisbon Town Council accepted this seven year old information in the first place.  The Town Manager should ALWAYS provide current information to the council.  How our Councilors’ can make any responsible decision without current data is beyond me.

The Town Engineer rattled off a dozen or more road/streets he is recommended discontinuing.  I apologize for not providing the list but it was just too fast for me and neither the Town Manager nor Town Engineer had a listing prepared for the council.   Again, for $100,000 annually, one would have expected a handout to both the council and the audience.  The Town Manager continues to provide information to the council that is not complete or is not current.

The Town Council, with the guidance of the Town Manager, eliminated the right of the citizens to speak at any workshop.  Apparently, this was done so that no one can contradict the Town Manager or challenge any documents/information provided.  The only reason to go is to listen to bad information being passed by the Town Manager and soaked up by the Council.  It is the same way at Town Council meetings.   I have been told on numerous occasions that I should not criticize what the council is doing.  It is the desire of the Town Council to eliminate any criticism of their decisions, regardless if the decisions are illegal or not.  This Council and especially the Town Manager can never admit to anyone they are wrong on anything.  This speaks volumes for the character and integrity of both the council and the Town Manager.

Look at what they have done to “Public Hearings”!!!!  Citizens have been denied the right to speak during the last two Appeals Board meetings by Chairman Morgan-Alexander.  The Town Manager was provided a legal review by a lawyer from the Maine Municipal Association (MMA) which is the town’s governing body which clearly stated the Public has a right to speak on these issues.  However, the Public still is not allowed to speak at any Appeals Board Hearing.  This is another example of bullying and denying the residents of Lisbon their right to free speech.  

The citizens of Lisbon have been bullied every time we challenge the actions of the Town Manager and the Council.  I personally believe that all the poor decisions of the council are a direct result of the Town Manager passing bad or incomplete information to the council.

Gov't Bully to Citizen Activists: Lie or Face Crippling Fines 

 

The Mafia makes better marinara sauce

Washington' DCs Public Disclosure Commission...

Who are they and what's their job?

To block free speech so politicians, national and local, can continue to carry on like the arrogant, thieving bastards they are.

If you're a big corporation, you're free to bribe and steal and do just about whatever you want.

If you're a citizen, they're going to do everything they can to make life difficult for you.

BrassCheckTV: When the US went off the tracks for real‏

How did we go from the "land of the
free and the home of the brave" to

When the US went off the tracks for real

The Reagan-Bush Years

 In the revealing PBS video documentary The Secret Government, host Bill Moyers exposes the inner workings of a secret government much more vast that most people would ever imagine. Though originally broadcast in 1987, it is even more relevant today. Interviews with respected top military, intelligence, and government insiders reveal both the history and secret objectives of powerful groups in the hidden shadows of our government.

"The National Security Act of '47 gave us the National Security Council. Never have we had a National Security Council so concerned about the nation's security that we're always looking for threats and looking how to orchestrate our society to oppose those threats. National Security was invented, almost, in 1947, and now it has become the prime mover of everything we do as measured against something we invented in 1947."

Pay Attention to rhetoric at about: 19:00 minutes from then Senator John Kerry!

The Secret Government - 1987

Bill Moyers got it more right than he realized back in 1987.

That was nearly 30 years ago if you're counting.

A master of deceit and treachery, the son and grandson of traitors, George H. W. Bush, Sr. leveraged his CIA and drug business contacts into a complete subversion of the Constitution.

The last 30 years - Clinton, Bush Jr, Obama - have been all about keeping this criminal enterprise on track while simultaneously training the weapons of war on American citizens.
