Modern-Day Slavery: A peak at the war over your soul!
1. One hardly notices modern-day slavery anymore simply because it can be out of sight and out of mind.
2. For example, in the deep jungle of Brazil, slaves extract pig iron used to make motor vehicle parts.
3. Those motor vehicle parts are then distributed all over the world including the USA, especially from out of Memphis, Tennessee, by a global conglomerate.
4. The high costs for rolling down the streets in polluter – mobiles outweighs the benefits, especially since exhaust fumes are one major cause of respiratory diseases like asthma.
5. When slavery ended in America, it did not end elsewhere.
6. In fact, slavery was outsourced and the slaves were bounced around from place to place.
7. Of course, it would seem that exploitation of this nature is fully condoned by the majority of American corporations and even the American government.
8. Many people believe the New World Order is responible, a demonically crafted mass marketing machine for transhumanisum and AI(artificial intelligence and the NWO wants to replace everyone's concept of God with an all knowing computer system that might be able to upload souls to the cloud to be rebooted at some future date, a time called singularity.
9. Some people believe that the singularity is science fiction, such as Noam Chomsky.
10. As it all relates to being car-free, the New World Order will either put every human being possible behind the wheel of a brand new motor vehicle by 2050 or impoverish anyone who dares not go along to get along.
11. Of course the motor vehicle industry is heavily subsidized along with the oil industry.
12. Such industries are making people believe that if funding is cut off from such industries the entire world’s economy will collapse instantly and we will all be living in the dark ages all over again.
13. The objective, here, is to open one’s eyes - open one’s mind – get one’s attention – then spread the word: this world will not end if there are no motor vehicles anymore.
14. In fact, the opposite is true: empires that condine motor vehicles will fade away, or at least shrink small enough to remain only within their own regions and not overwhelm the entire world with their pollution.
15. Whenever an empire’s pollution affects other people’s lives negatively, then that empire is to big for its britches.
16. Of course, becoming a Car-Free Friendly Citizen is a major step towards restoration of the earth with no more enslavement to this New World Order and nonstop consumerism, a system that encourages the borrowing of funds at high interest rates that people pay off for a life time or for several generations.
17. This only happens when one truly believes in a pipe dream --- the American Dream --- a mass marketing scheme, which has never been sustainable long-term by any empire, as one bubble after another burst, with bailouts for the rich, and little or no recovery for the majority of people.
18. Still the elite chase after such dreams, the next big thing, and that is why people are witnessing the depletion of all earth’s resources and the obliteration of earth’s environment.
19. Are the absolute idiots who want this New World Order the ancestors of Mars?
20. Perhaps they destroyed Mars and moved to earth to consume its resources --- God Forbid, if any of these fools ever leave earth void and without form as it was in the beginning and then screws up other planets in other galaxies.
21. This New World Order will say that they might as well exploit all of earth’s resources to get to another galazy since some natural disaster might kill off everything on earth anyway.
22. To illustrate, there is the Louisiana’s sink hole scenario, forever spreading up the Mississippi River to meet up with Shelby County Tennessee’s New Madrid Fault Line, a massive earthquake disaster waiting to happen, which may split the entire USA in half by as much as 500 miles wide and all the way up to the north pole, a pole that is now shifting its coordinates 40 miles each year and having other serious implications already, such as climate change.
23. By 2050, Memphis may be 10 degrees below zero and 50 miles under water or ice.
24. Therefore, the New World Order believes that by any means necessary, they have the right to enslave people or to exploit people to maintain an elitists lifestyle wherever it is they go.
25. Once the elite, meaning the New World Order, gains any foothold in one’s life, they make promises that have never been kept --- like jobs, so long as people are willing to go into deep debt with student loans for the right education, but the jobs will still never come.
26. Of course, they will keep their promises to the lowest of crumb eaters who are committing the seven deadly sins.
27. And incrementally, these crumb eaters will do everything in their power to keep the entire population of this world from seeking heaven on earth in the name of Jesus Christ.
28. Nonetheless, many believe they can fight off the New World Order by any means necessary and these believers in JesusJesusJesus want to be free to breath clean air, drink fresh water, and eat the very best nutritious foods and to live simple lives.
29. Many are ready to fight until their death believing that this New World Order is going straight to hell, sooner rather than later.
30. What is happening is that the New World Order is going to be held accountable and punished.
31. Many believe in the Good News found in the Bible; and they are right to do so, because, there is going to be HEAVEN ON EARTH one day and God and his only son, Jesus Christ, are going to make it happen --- like it, or not.
32. The New World Order will have one belive that there are multiple ways into the heaven that is mentioned in the Bible, but there is only one way into heaven and that is through Jesus Christ.
Some passages from the International Labor Office:
[“I had not then learned the measure of “man’s inhumanity to man,” nor to what limitless extent of wickedness he will go for the love of gain.”
― Solomon Northup, Twelve Years a Slave (1853)]
--- International Labor Office
“Those words were written by Solomon Northup in “Twelve Years a Slave” more than 150 years ago, but they ring as true today as they did then. More than a century after being banned in the developed world, and decades after being outlawed in the newly emerging developing world, modern forms of slavery—forced labor, human trafficking, forced sexual exploitation—still exist, and unfortunately risk growing in extent and profitability in the world today.”
--- International Labor Office
Those two quotes were extracted from a PDF document available on the World Wide Web at the top of p. 45 of the Conclusion section:

Jamaad Reed.
by Krissy Clark
Monday, September 1, 2014 - 14:21
STORY
When Jamaad Reed started his job as a cashier at a Wal-Mart near Cincinnati, he made $8.15 an hour. That was two years ago. Since then, he has seen a couple of raises, which have meant his wage has kept up with inflation — but just barely. As of March of this year, Reed was making $9.05 an hour.
“I'm stuck,” he said recently. “You know what I'm saying? I feel like I'm stuck in the same spot.”
"Stuck" is a pretty good word to describe wages for most American workers over the last few decades. Not just in the case of lower-wage workers like Reed, but along most of the income spectrum, except for those at the very, very top.
In fact, most American workers have seen little to no growth since the late 1970s, if you adjust for inflation, according to Elise Gould. She's an economist with the Economic Policy Institute and author of a new study that analyzes wage data from census surveys over the last several decades.
That's not to say that individual workers haven't seen gains. But, says Gould, “as productivity has continued to rise, typical workers’ wages simply have not.”�
That’s a very different economic picture from a half-century ago. In the first few decades after World War II, as the nation's productivity grew, so did wages. So what happened?
“This is one of the questions that people are arguing about right now,” says Linda Barrington, the executive director of the Institute of Compensation Studies at Cornell University.
Barrington says some economists point to a loss of worker bargaining power, meaning workers are less able to claim growing productivity gains in the way they could when labor unions were stronger.
Others blame a shift in business strategy over the years to one that focuses more on shareholder returns, “as opposed to sharing the returns and the gains to all of the employee base,” says Barrington.
Meanwhile, technological advances and globalization have meant there are fewer middle-wage jobs to be had in the U.S. Now, workers who in a previous era might have had relatively well-paying manufacturing or clerical jobs have to settle for lower-paying jobs in the service sector instead.
Even as economists debate the reasons behind American workers’ stagnating wages, one thing is certain. They don’t just affect individual wallets, but the economy as a whole.
As Barrington points out, “Every worker is also a consumer.” And consumers are what drive the modern American economy.

Frustrations, and desperate demands for more public transportation $$ on Staten Island as MTA shapes capital plan | SILive.com
If you want to learn something about Mass Transit, one must compare and contrast what others are doing with their transit systems in order to gain a much broader and more in-depth perspective of things over time. Once people know that you are highly knowledgeable about a given issue and related policies, they will give you the respect that you truly deserve, especially when you speak out in a public meetings able to use key words and phrases that many people will readily understand. People will like you even more if you are from their own community or you moved there and have stayed a long time and paid your dues so to speak. You will be taken far more seriously - besides the powers-that-be do not have a clue about how important a given issue is until you stand up for yourself and make them see things your way.

MBTA's 1st Rapid-Transit Station in 27 Years Opens | NECN
MBTA's 1st Rapid-Transit Station in 27 Years Opens | NECN: The MBTA's first new rapid-transit station in 27 years is open at Somerville's Assembly Square.
Tuesday, Sep 2, 2014 • Updated at 8:29 AM EDT
The MBTA's first new rapid-transit station in 27 years is open at Somerville's Assembly Square.
Orange Line trains will now have a 10-minute ride from downtown Boston. The station is the capstone of Somerville's massive $1.5 billion Assembly Row development.
Assembly Row is not completed, though it's already home to dozens of retail outlets and restaurants, two new apartment complexes, a Legoland Discovery Center and a 12-screen movie theater.
While the station will open to passengers Tuesday, construction is expected to continue through November.
It's the first Orange Line station for Somerville and one of six new T stops slated to open there in the next decade.

The Cities That Spend The Most On Bike Lanes Later Reap The Most Reward | Co.Exist | ideas impact: ""Investing in a network of fully separated bike lanes could save cities huge sums in the long-term. But too little investment in wimpy infrastructure could actually decrease enthusiasm for cycling.""

This is what some commenters had to say about the issue:
ONATHAN NORDLAND HAMTECH87 Your point is well-taken. Our towns and cities have developed in a way that has increased distances between homes, and between homes and important places. It is why Walk Score was created, so people would have information on such distances when they decide to locate somewhere.We need to create better planning and zoning policies that bring mixed-use, compact development so you are never too far away.
Poverty and public transportation
Poverty and public transportation: “If you miss your bus,” Ferrell repeated, “well, there’s an hour out of your day at best. But what if that makes you an hour late to work, or causes you to miss a doctor’s appointment or a meeting? What if it costs you the opportunity for a job? Or what if you just miss your bus and have to sit in the hot sun or the freezing cold or the pouring rain and wait an hour for the next one?
“If you’re a person of low income, or limited income, and you depend on the bus, that’s the world you live in. That’s the real world.”

A Typical Day Riding On a MATA Bus: OMG - is it far worse than a public transit system in a third-world country?
This following can
be a typical day while riding on a MATA bus for many others and me. Yesterday,
I was at the bus stop to catch the 4 bus at Lauderdale and Mississippi at 7:55
AM. The bus came late at 8:15, should have been there by 8:10. The bus was late
to the terminal and I also missed the transfer over to the 53 Summer/ Binghamton bus for
8:27 and the next 53 usually comes late or not at all or I have to catch the 19
Valentine out to where I wanted to go and then walk several blocks to my
destination. The good, timely trip is four hours long including wait time.
However, on my way back to the starting point at 10:15 AM, the 53-summer bus
passed right by me and several other riders so fast that we could not even tell
who was driving the bus. We had to wait another hour for the next bus, which
was also late. I arrived at the terminal at Noon and we asked the driver to
stop the 4 bus and they ignored us. The 4 took off without us and the next one
did not come until 12:37. The 5 U of M bus came so I got on it. It got me close
enough to home to walk two long blocks home by 1:10 PM --- this was a 6 hour
day with MATA to go do one simple thing --- return a package of socks to Ross -
Oh and to go to the Kroger since I was out that way. It is just as hard for
many people finding a job or keeping one while depending on MATA’s system.
Perhaps, we need to scrap MATA and privatize our transit system here in
Memphis, TN. Now before you begin to think of me as a common vagabond walking
around with a backpack like on that show Kung Fu trying to resolve all our
problems, I am not like that person. What I am is a Car-Free Citizen. I have
been for several years by choice. And yes, I do know it all - simply because -
I actually live the lifestyle that so many of you are only talking about in
various community meetings and so far, many of you do not have one clue about
how to be Car-Free in Memphis, Tennessee, especially with systems in place that
do not work very well. That is why I started this blog
carfreememphis.blogspot.com, to provide many of you with valid support that
matters the most. It will save you from having to attend a lot of needless
community meetings. I mean, why have ongoing community meetings about bike
lanes, when the law already allows bike riders to ride down any street without
these lanes at all. The lanes are already there, at least in our own minds
because it is also pointed out this way in our Tennessee Drivers Manual. So
painting bike lanes on the street should not take an act of congress or even
asking a community's permission. The law is already on the side of painting
those bike lanes. By the way - a group of baboons is called a congress. Yes,
that is true, and even funny! But, how long are people going to keep laughing
at Memphians for acting just like those baboons. It has been 20 years since we
first had the funding of the DOT to do all of this and the powers-that-be here
in Memphis refused to do hardly anything for us pedestrians. Now, they want us
to have more meetings and do more community outreach, when it has already been
done to death. Now they want us to redo these meetings with our unsuspecting
young adults - how sad. You, younger folks may also have to wait another 20 to
40 years for your city to work well for you. And of course, it never will work
at the rate it is going now. That is, unless you learn from my wisdom. If you
do not learn anything, then you will grow older while wearing depends
undergarments and as you soil yourselves at bus stops wishing you had listened
to me. Meanwhile, other cities around the world will look futuristic and beyond
your wildest dreams and also behind gated walls, while Memphis becomes a
third-world stench. Now the third- world is not all that bad necessarily,
I was having a long discussion, on that very same day, at the MATA terminal,
with several older men from South Africa, a third world country, with first
world aspirations. These guys insisted that over there, the public transit
system is far superior to that of Memphis, despite the third world problems. I decided to find that out for myself and came across the
following document: 26th Annual Southern African Transport Conference
2007: http://repository.up.ac.za/handle/2263/5868. There
were other documents that I found, but this one seemed to be the most
favorable, lacking having been there myself, and trusting these guys at their word, as they were complaining about MATA
also, but still truly happy to be living in America. Once you begin reading up on such things, you will also begin to have a well researched opinion on local issues and develop a world view.
Anyway - I love America! God
bless America! God bless you!

Garrison Chosen to Lead Memphis Area Transit Authority - Memphis Daily News
Memphis Area Transit Authorities new president and general manager, Ron Garrison, recently worked for Proterra, Inc. And before that, he was executive director of StarMetro in Tallahassee Florida. After decades of the worst bus system in the USA, we will hopefully get change for the better under new leadership, such as new busses that do not rock and rattle the passengers, more buses that are run more often and on time, WI-FI on and busses and near bus stops, real time GPS tracking along each route, and high quality bike racks that can actually hold more than just two bikes --- how about five bikes; and can we please get some restrooms along each route. Now here is a true dreamers request for sure, let's have a shopping bus that runs every hour whereby there is plenty of leg room to move around, a place under the bus to roll shopping carts, and top racks on the inside for backpacks and coats, and last, but not least, a restroom on the bus.

The Rise of Private 'Luxury' Mass Transit Buses - CityLab
This is a great idea. We should have a mass transit option for shopping with the ability to roll bikes and grocery carts and baby strollers under the bus. We should have Wi-Fi and restrooms and the ability to lay back and relax until we actually get to our final destination and all without having to look up from a good book to keep an eye out for our final stop or else we might pass it up. This type of system could have massive shelters and facilities along the major drop off points with plenty of space to spread out and wait for the return ride.

PIMPING OUT MY GRANNY CART
I have been car-free for several years.
I have faced every scenario possible since giving up my vehicles.
For example, I pimped out my granny cart with a new set of wheels.
The brand name of my granny cart is called EASY WHEELS.
The brand name of my granny cart is called EASY WHEELS.
It is distributed by the Narita Trading Co. Inc.
The cage section is flawless in design and it still serves me well.
However, the plastic rimes and rubber tires that came with their cart crumbled to pieces while out in the street with a load of groceries.
However, the plastic rimes and rubber tires that came with their cart crumbled to pieces while out in the street with a load of groceries.
Either the rubber tires rolled off the rim, or they become badly chipped causing the whole cage to rattle violently, or the rimes cracked and even exploded into tiny pieces.
I bought the cart online, but have since forgotten where I bought it from, but did keep ordering wheels from Narita at first and like I just said, their wheels have failed me each and every time.
Here in Memphis, Stewart Brothers Hardware sales these carts in their brick and mortar store and that's also where I went to get my new wheels, among other related cart parts, such as heavy duty cog pins, washers, and metal sleeves.
Your cart may be a different brand name from mine or a different size, so you may need to adjust for the upgraded wheels and parts.
The Peddler Bike Shop sold me some heavy duty grocery bags that I hang on my bike rack or on my pimped out granny cart.
I also added a padlock with a cable to the cart.
One thing is for sure, since I pimped out my own granny cart, I have never had a single breakdown!
Me and my posse are available to come speak for your special event for a fee, especially since we think we know it all and actually do live a car-free lifestyle.
 |
| I replaced the springs with heavy duty metal sleeves. |
 |
| Here are the metal sleeves. |
 |
| These lawn mower wheels fit over the cart axles of my Easy Wheels Black Jumbo Cart perfectly adding even more strength to the axles. |

I hope all is well with the Peddler Bike Shop. People have depended on the Peddler for many years. Although the storage shop has been destroyed completely, the retail shop is still open for car-free citizens like you and me. The Peddler provides a full line of products and services. Our prayers go out to Signatures printing shop, who lost their whole business in the blaze, though no one was hurt and also two firefighters who had to be admitted to the hospital, one of whom was released already, while the other is being kept for further examination but is not in critical condition.

Over the past few days my friend,
Neyla Paracolli, visited Siegen, Germany.
I want to share one of her photo's that she sent me
while walking down one of their Car-Free Friendly Streets.
Neyla is also a singer-songwriter
and here is some of her videos.
Peace & Love
