One Small Town's Battle Against China-Mart By Ted Twietmeyer [email protected] 5-5-6 NOT IN MY TOWN? One year ago, I wrote two articles here on rense.com which were based on an MSNBC investigation of Wal-Mart's business. Incredibly, even MSNBC did an honest documentary even though everyone I spoke to never watched it. Perhaps to most people, they think these documentaries are like watching CSPAN. The articles last year covered how they used various techniques to expand their chain and how bad they treat their employees. [1] One may think that a Wal-Mart story is a local matter. Before you dismiss this, be assured that this same drama you are about to read about can be, and will be most likely will be, repeated in your town if it hasn't happened already. Like standing out in a golf course holding up a 10ft. metal pole during every thunderstorm, sooner or later Wal-Mart takeover lightning will strike a town near you. And indeed, it just has here. That cursed town-killing big-black-box store chain is planning on buying up a 56 acre parcel of prime farm land, about 15 minutes away from me. The town of Lima, NY has numerous frowning yellow smiley faces standing on many of the front lawns up and down Main St. in the town, protesting the takeover attempt. Frowning smiley face like those on front lawns on Main St. (courtesy of Google images) Tonight there was a town board meeting - and I am eternally sorry I didn't bring a camcorder. I figured I'd see a small room in the basement with a handful of people. Was I ever wrong! This meeting was held in a local mega-church which was almost filled to capacity. About 1,000 people were there, along with at least three local television stations and the R News Network. On past television documentaries, we have been led to believe that only handful of people get upset when the ChinaMart store attempts to move into a town. Often the protesters are portrayed as standing outside with placards like striking auto-workers. Not this time. Several spokespeople were there, though none were from ChinaMart. One can be certain that the store's "intelligence agents" were out there in the audience. There were some present taking notes like mad, and they left half-way through the meeting. When millions of corporate dollars are at stake, no company on earth would miss this. PRESENTATIONS There was a powerful, fact-filled presentation based upon the real facts that go with accepting the big-black-box into a town. I'll summarize some of the high points here: * The store receives 10 YEARS of tax breaks in any town it goes into, which almost always requires a zoning law variance * Store does NOT pay for added infrastructure into the community, such as increased fire and police protection * Most small Businesses DIE soon after the store is opened. It has a serious impact on grocery stores, florist shops, hardware stores, gift shops, pharmacies and more * Taxpayers must pay for additional road maintenance and repairs caused by increased traffic * School taxes RISE and business and home property values DROP. Would you buy a home beside a ChinaMart or within eye-shot if you were moving out into the country? * The store's con-men state that "480 new jobs will be created." But in reality, history has shown they may only create 70 new jobs. * Only 8% of the store's revenue benefits the local economy * Communities lose more jobs as all the local businesses die, with a typical net increase of just EIGHT $9.80 per hour jobs with little or no real benefits. In fact, most store employees receive public assistance for health care since their salaries are BELOW the poverty level and they cannot afford health insurance premiums. * If the store FAILS to generate the anticipated revenue, it will be closed. By that time, the town already stripped of it's important small businesses and their tax revenue - leaving a big, ugly empty big-box store that no one will ever buy or rent. Does any startup business need 500,000 square feet? The town's tax revenue base is destroyed, and Main St. becomes desolate with boarded-up storefronts. And the chain moves on to wreck yet another small town. My comment: Whether or not the store closes in the future, the small businesses destroyed won't be restored. Most of small town America's successful family-owned small businesses were created decades ago. That was when the average CITIZEN could realize the dream of owning their own business and doing well at it. Today, startup capital to begin any business (especially in manufacturing) is almost non-existent. And it's well know among entrepeneurs, that banks only loan money to people that really don't need it. But wait - this big-black-box story is about to get even more interesting.... TOWN BOARD CORRUPTION BY WAL-MART? It appears that perhaps the one person that could be behind disolving the town's Master Plan planning board may be the town's attorney, although it wasn't specifically stated. And here's why - it was announced in this same meeting that this attorney has "stepped out of the decision-making process because of his past ties to Wal-Mart" according to the board's chairman. Is it also a coincidence that the store wants to come to this town? WHAT THE PEOPLE HAD TO SAY The last segment of the meeting allowed anyone to come up to the stage and speak for a few minutes. I live in a nearby small town, and I didn't want to take precious time away from those who are impacted by this incursion. My purpose there was to see what actually unfolds at one of these meetings, first-hand. Most of the people who spoke had brilliant, well thought out remarks. No stone was left unturned and I salute them for it. The town's Master Plan planning board was working for 7 years on a Master Plan for residential and business development. One woman who spoke which lives in the town, announced the dissolution of the town's Master Planning Board. Everyone was shocked, in disbelief and quite upset. Hundreds yelled out demanding answers with "Why? WHAT? HOW COME?" The entire town knew that countless hours were spent on creating that plan. The board chairman then literally yelled over the sound system "now calm down, I'll explain. We're going to hire a consulting firm to review the 7 years of work." Another woman then yelled out, "is that going to be a local firm?" He wouldn't answer her, and everyone knew what that meant. She asked again and the people demanded an explanation. The zero-tolerance chairman then threatened, "I'll close this meeting right now if you don't keep quiet." Incredibly, some people clapped at that threatening remark. Apparently some enjoy that warm, cozy feeling that only a high-voltage shock from a cattle prod can give. Is it a coincidence that 7 years of planning work was just tossed out like last week's milk? It doesn't appear to be that way -especially that now is the time for board members to make a decision. All the surrounding towns already have plans in place to prevent this kind of corporate takeover. Someone should be watching all the board member's bank accounts for large deposits, and their yards for new pools, SUVs and RVs. Several residents looked right at the board only a few feet away on stage and called dissolving the Master Planning board "criminal." Many testified of the damage the store would do to their property values. The lost property equity could never be recovered, even if the store were to close. Many others could easily see a sharp increase in property and school taxes, as the multi-billion dollar store chain will receive 10 YEARS of tax breaks. TEN YEARS! Only one person talked about how "wonderful it would be to have the store in Lima." She was repeatedly booed by everyone. Another man spoke, and closed his remarks with "we have found the weapons of mass destruction, and it is Wal-Mart." Many who spoke received standing ovations accompanied by a deafening applause. Another lady however, had it all thought out. She proclaimed to the board, "if you approve this, then there is no reason to give them a tax break. You should tax them at the HIGHEST possible rate." That created a loud applause. Testimony went on into the late evening, with many voicing their concerns over the many negative factors associated with this attempt at a corporate takeover. One man noted that the land is a protected area under NY State Dept. of Environmental Conservations regulations because of streams and creeks in the immediate area, and cited the law chapter and verse. Of course, if you or I wanted to build a home on any protected land, we would never receive a building permit. In THREE different directions from the town of Lima, NY, there is already a ChinaMart and two of them are "super-centers." Each one is only about 10 to 15 minutes away from where the new store will be. Will Mars have one on it, too? THE BATTLE ISN'T OVER YET This coming week, the big box chain will have their 15 minutes of fame at a local country club (tonight's meeting was held in a very large church.) I'm planning on attending, if they allow my trouble-making self past their sentries. I will attempt to obtain some digital footage of the big store's BS session. I'm willing to bet they will be serving "refreshments" to butter everyone up, complete with Sam's club aspartame-laced diet soda. Perhaps my wife should be home to receive my one phone call when they haul me away. I'm one of those weird people that doesn't carry a cell phone - I've read the research reports and know what RF does to people. This isn't just about a small town's battle - it's a battle that will come to everyone's door sooner or later. The chain has big plans to cram one of these small town killing stores into almost every town in America, whether they want it there or not. If the US is taken to condition red and rationing is started - would not the military step in and take over the biggest national store chain for their own purposes? They already have the distribution system in place. There is also a special section in the mile-square headquarters of the chain, which is off-limits to most employees. The sign says "Homeland Security." Is it any wonder that they will try to put one of these stores in every town - just for that terrible day? For more about saving small businesses see [2].

This comes straight from Master Nan Huai-Chin and it goes like this! 1.Take your right hand and take your thumb and touch it to the base of your ring finger (the one just right of your pinkey). 2.Fold the other 4 fingers around your thumb like a fist. Now the ghosts can't see you! Works great in hospitals and oher haunted places.

I am going to be very unpopular here, but I rather piss people off in the chance I can save them from harming themselves. It is irrelevant which "master" I learned the practice from. The truth is that MANY of the students of that famous guy in Hong Kong who pulls trucks with his tool have had surgery to fix themselves. I know this because at the time I was linked into that sort of circle. Nobody will talk about this publicly. All these "masters" think about is making money, and selling courses and equipment on this practice is as irresponsible as Dr. JK who sells penis pumps! Asian men in particular are attracted to this practice because they tend to have small dicks. Not all asian men do--some actually have big dicks, but the great majority have small dicks and so they get attracted to these stupid practices that promise sexual potency because they think they can compensate. I know a few famous "stars" from Honk Kong and they are ALL kept by wealthy Chinese businessmen who drink all these yang concoctions and do strange practices and then fuck these gorgeous girls half-to-death once-a-month when they are in town on a business trip. One HK star I knew would get railed for about 5 hours straight by this qi gong idiot/tycoon and she really could care less-she just wanted his money and the apartment he got her in NYC. This is also why so many Japanese porn films block the genitalia. Don't you think it is weird that they have no problem letting the world see them eat feces on camera, but god forbid the world should see how small Japanese cocks are! Eating shit is apparently less humiliating... But I wasn't doing this practice to enlarge my penis, I thought it would assist to open up my blocked sexuality. Guess what? It doesn't work. But you keep increasing the weight and in time it becomes a form of self-abuse and you don't even realize it! One day you may get into energetic communication with your penis and realize how you tortured your most prized possession. What did your penis do to deserve this suffering? You hated it because it didn't function the way you wanted it to or hated it because it was too small? So you strangled and choked it? With age sometimes comes wisdom. You become strong enough just by living courageously to be able to look the ugly truth square in the eye. Chi lifting has nothing to do with cultivation. Nothing. It is a twisted ego-based practice that is incredibly masochistic. Do you know why monks did this practice? It was to RID themselves of sexual desire-and do you know WHY it rids them of sexual desire one day? Figure it out... I know a lot of you are hell bent on this practice. Sexual energy is so distorted in the modern world that this sort of insanity is considered a good idea. It is no different then something on BME.com really... I wish I could stop you, but all I can do is offer my perspective. At the end of the day you need to ask yourself what your goals are? 1.increased sexual potency 2.enlightenment 3.physical power and then ask yourself: "is hanging weights from my sexual parts really the BEST way to achieve this?" "Is there any solid proof that this practice helps anyone with anything?" "Have you ever seen a practitioner fuck or satisfy a woman?" "Have you ever seen their erection quality?" "Talked to their lovers?" "Seen any of them get enlightened?" Think about it. -P

The above post on HTUSA on weight hanging. It was written by me. Years ago. I used to do this practice religiously. The most I would lift is 42 lbs. but I would swing it really hard while contracting against the inertia. Yes, the practice produces energy. But it has long-term results you may not want. Traditionally the weight is tied around cock and balls. I have tried all 3 styles. One of the results of this practice is a stretching of the tendons and ligaments in the scrotal sack. My balls hang lower then normal and it really sucks. Girls find it attractive, pretty much, but it is a real nuisance. My balls are huge, and the arteries very large. Some of those guys in Hong Kong need surgery to shorten their testicles. BE WARNED! This practice will cause body modifications! Tying to penis alone has had some reported cases of severe damage as well. This practice, while promoted for potency, is actually for the opposite purpose. Most people don't know this, and it takes years before they learn the true intent of this practice. Now that I am approaching 40, I see the practice for what it is--an expression of self-hate due to blocked sexual force. Never get involved in this sort of thing. -P

Take this product: http://www.discountanabolics.com/p/VY16 and cut back on ejaculating. If you are going to ejaculate, do it in a woman. Your bloodwork is fine, just low test. This will fix it. Cyce it like: For best results use continuously for a minimum of 8 weeks followed by a 2 week off period. During this time you can use Viraloid at a dosage of 6 capsules per day for 10 days. This is the BEST stuff on the market. You also need to eat more meat, your protein levels are too low. Viraloid and Anabolic 7, a high-protein diet and powerlifting have allowed me to put on 35 lbs. of permanent muscle (so far) and I am so horny and aggressive yesterday I broke the hack squat machine at my gym. Meditation is for fags. Peace out!

Guys and Gals, Just letting everybody know that I have created a prostate health discussion board over at: www.prostatesecrets.com/forum It is a specialized forum for the topics covered in my book, so if anybody wants to talk about that and prostate-related stuff... Before I announce the board to my list I would like to have some chat going on so it doesn't seem like an empty room. LOL! Thanks! -Plato

Cameron, The reason you are wandering is because you do not know what you want. You must define as clearly as possible what it is in life that you want. As you move forward in pursuit of that, you will have opportunities to define it even more clearly. Take these opportunities because a clear definition of your goals is so critical. The problem with spiritual seeking (meaning that people wander around and never find what they are looking for) is that nobody knows what they want. They will SAY things like "enlightenment" and "cultivation" but these words have no meaning to them. Here are some examples of proper goals: 1. I want to be fee from anxiety. 2. I want to have more physical energy with only 1 hour a day of maintenance. 3. I want to have a beautiful girlfriend and give her imploding orgasms. 4. I want to live in a community of people who share X,Y,Z values and my days would flow like this ______. 5. I want to experience a mind without thoughts or this particular state ________ contained in this _________ sutra. 6. I want to build my merit by doing 10 charitable acts towards the following goals ________ this year. 7. I want to learn how to best handle the energy of fear. You get the idea? Even these goals are too general. If you defined what you wanted you wouldn't be wandering and you would have the $$$ as well. Make yourself a "vision board" using pictures and add text. Generally speaking, if you don't have sex and money handled spiritual pursuit is a waste of time. As Osho said, spirituality is not a poor man's undertaking. -Plato

Michael, good to hear about the NCR. Yes, I learned all this from Agharta-he's the man! Thanks Scadder!

Anybody from here going to Chicago this upcoming weekend for the seminar? Just asking so I know if I need to bring the spray or not. -P

Nothing to do with Kunlun...

I left it in my bag, once I realized that Sheiky was not in attendance.

Yeah, let me tell you, no matter if the topic is working out, making money, getting bitches, fighting, spirituality... there are secrets out there and the secrets and the truth are held back to gain money and power. What annoys me about Scott Sonnon is the sheer AMOUNT of garbage he produces. His whole system is really 6 degrees of freedom, which he repackaged from the Russians. All Russian combat and rehab peeps know this stuff. Just like Matt Furey repackaged the Indian wrestler training from Karl Gotch. Of course there is nothing wrong with repackaging because EVERYTHING is repackaged. That is life. Problem is if you want to make money you have to constantly produce crap. It is a sort of hell, really--except for the $$$ coming in. Scott Sonnon also keeps everyone under his spell by fiercly moderating his forum. Unless you are kissing his ass, you are thrown out. You always have to remain an idiot, or you become a threat and you are thrown out. It is the same thing in the bodybuilding world. 99% of what you read about muscle building is a total lie. Everyone is trying to make the $$$ so they keep you in the dark and sell you fake solutions. Once I figured it out, I went from 170 lbs. to 200 lbs. of muscle in a few months, and I will go to 220-230 within the next few months. I don't eat much and I work out only 2 days a week. I get stronger, too. So I could tell you everything in a 1-page report. How do I sell that? Even if I make a $297 DVD course, then what? So here is the problem. Of course, I am not interested in entering the market I am just giving an example.

Atlas Orthoganal machines are interesting. I had A LOT of sessions on one, and I can say that if it doesn't fix your problem in a few sessions, stop doing it. I know a guy in New Jersey, thanks to Smile, who can fix spines in a few sessions. He fixed my back in 3. Chiros hate him because they can't make money curing someone in 3 sessions. I've had tons of chiro, atlas, ncr... he's the only one who created a real change. He did it fast and cheap. A real Bodhissatva!

Cameron, stop embarrassing yourself. Instead of flooding your ludicrous "celibacy support thread" with pix and vids of girls you are lusting after and men who interact well with your daddy-complex you need to accept your lust and then figure out how to transform it. Just take your statement: " I am trying to get some level of being cool with woman out of the way(as they are everywhere) and on a more open, energetic level than sexual, lust level." This statement only makes sense to an insane person. Check this: You only lust after beauty because you are hungry for something. You are hungry for the moment when you first see "a thing of beauty" and there is this instant--this instant that feels so good and YOU WANT IT TO LAST FOREVER. Peak experiences baby, that's what you want. Peak experiences all of the time. Only problem is that you really can't have it all of the time. This is why people are addicted to porn or get into the trap of making babies. Beyond this is the craving to get back to perpetual bliss. People who smoke crack or meth are in the same trap. Now here is a motherfucker I just discovered via a friend that I am trying to study with or set up some sort of seminar. He also teaches Kunlun under the name "bliss exercises:" http://www.nityama.com/blog/table-sessions.html There you go, so you don't think I am some sort of asshole who enjoys beating on you...

Cameron, Seven months ago I ended a 6-month period of celibacy. No fucking, no masturbating and no emissions. Back in my Healing Tao days I did over 1 year of the same--and I did it more then once. The last time I did the 6-month period I was shooting for a year of celibacy, but I went absolutely nuts and fucked a 19-year old Korean chick in her mouth and ended the insanity. Shortly thereafter I got a girlfriend. Listen Cameron, while it is impossible to attain higher states without conserving sexual energy, it is impossible to attain celibacy if you have not experienced sex. Read some books by Osho on sex. You keep having emissions and all this shit because your body needs to experience sex. If you do not listen it will betray you over and over again until you do. What you need is a bisexual girlfriend. But first you need to take a trip to Thailand and enjoy the pleasures of the flesh so you can dump that sexual awkwardness that repels women. When you get back from there, put down the doughnuts or whatever the fuck it is that you eat all the time, take the right supplements from discountanabolics.com and get your ass to a bodybuilding gym. Then you need to go out and get a bisexual girlfriend. Then talk to me about celibacy. You will fail at 100 days because even if you have zero emission it will not matter. You do not overcome sex by repression. It is impossible! You, like the majority of the people on this board (IMO), are using spirituality to escape life. You are 30 years old and still have no idea what you want let alone how to get it. Do you have written goals? Why not? What do you think will happen if you hold back your desires for 100 days? How can you attain something if you don't even know what it is? Why not have a goal like "I want the highest levels of sexual satisfaction possible" which is a goal that would include a sexual samadhi? Is this not more realistic? Spiritual paths like the one you are following were intended for beings with minds that were clean BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T REPRESS THEIR DESIRES! Here is your opportunity to wake the fuck up at 30 and not at 35. Take it.

Well, since I don't have a uterus and despite my continuous attempts at breast feeding...

I have no problem with legitimate spam so do as you like. I just don't want 1,000 viagra posts or something like that. I have been pursuing the fish oil, chocolate, l-dopa thing for some time. It is sound advice for many people, because birth control and SSRIs do trash the system and your trinity does correct it over time. Of all the women I fucked in my life, only 2 were capable of full-blown orgasms. That is pretty sad but with everyone on drugs all the time you can't expect much else. However, an orgasm is a whole-body event and what if there are disconnections in the body? The wave cannot propagate. This is why even with the right diet things may not work for either sex. The prostate orgasm thing is somewhat unique because the prostate is not the equivalent of the g-spot but rather the uterus. The mix-up occurred due to marketing: even majority of women weren't aware of the uterine orgasms at the time everybody was talking about the g so it would have been bad marketing to tell the truth. Anyway, so just as the uterus matches the heart during orgasms what happens if no connection between the two? This is where Reichian remedies come into play. Just some thoughts... If only my system had "discriminated" against RJ!

If your power comes from you ability to make a man into who he is by virtue of the "imprinting process" that goes on until the nervous system gets shrouded in myelin, then aren't YOU responsible for creating these men who turn around oppress you the moment they can get hard? Oh, but that would mean I'd be talking to a woman with logic--which doesn't exist. In more typical estrogenic fashion, you place the blame onto men for this. Of course, you are right in a sense because even though it is all your fault, it ends up being our responsibility! The woman has been neglecting her duties for a looooooooooong time, and her abuse of her power is the reason she fell onto all fours long ago with no other purpose then to satisfy the lusts of men. Open your mouth bitch, here comes the cream!

Women are becoming more dominant and the men more pathetic because the Queen is returning. My solution is to take tons of tongkat and bury my inconceivably enlarged member in women who still know their place. The moral of the story is that you don't have to turn into a woman as time winds down. Women certainly have no place as leaders of men or nations, despite the constant "Resident Evil" you see everywhere. It is a woman's job to make lemonade for the men while they talk business. After business is concluded, it's their job to return to assuming their duties in a position of the man's choosing. -P

Hey Eric, good to have you back. -Plato

I'd be curious to meet them and talk about the cultivation method(s) they use(d). Thanks! -Sheepster

So far: Intro - History - overview of Taoism (fang shih, difference from Hinduism/Buddhism, philosophy, etc) Stages of Transformation (jing-chi-shen) Basic Taoist Meditation Practices (dan tien, inner viewing, sexual) and mistakes -(don't spin chi) Changing the Body with Herbs and Supplements, medicine Karma, Fortune, Strategies, Chi and Sciences in Taoism

Before I talk about tits on girls, let me warn all the men (whom I know are reading this) that if you go to "Thunder's Place" you need to go to the "injury threads" FIRST and get a taste of what those retarded exercises they recommend will do to your dick. What's even funnier is that if you bring up Dr. Lin on the site you get attacked like a jew at a white-power rally. Those guys are all stuck in their own hell, and you better not wander into their domain which is filled with very painful thought-forms. Anyway, it is easy for a woman to enlarge her breasts, and I learned this from a doctor who was part of the transgender community. The method is you get as many chicken heads as you can and decoct them in a giant soup pot. Then, you drink the decoction. Do this often, and you will grow serious tits. Even men will grow serious tits doing this, so imagine what it will do to a woman. What happens is that the chicken brain contains certain chems that will trigger this effect. Before hormone supplementation was available to the transgender community, this was the method and it is very effective. So if you have a young daughter, you should feed her this soup regularly to ensure she grows up with huge tits and consequently has better advantages in life. Personally, I like small tits but 90% of the male population goes ga-ga over big tits. I mean, it is like nothing else exists as long as the woman as big tits. All the big-titted girls I know (unless they are really fat) are surrounded in men falling head-over-heels for them. It is truly incredible what an attractant big tits are. Personally, I am all about the ass! And a girl's hands and feet.

LOL! No, we didn't put Michelle up to this...
