May 2021 – Rural Tompkins County

“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “Protecting the Assets of the Rich” Bumper Sticker

When a car chase/gun fight on one of the local roads caused a higher number of complaints than usual; the County made an announcement:

One: There are only a “few bad characters.” Two: Their department was too small. And Three: It would be too expensive for the County to do anything about it.

Just the sort of response you would expect from a County Sheriff’s Dept. that will only show up in rural areas when it’s called, write a report, and leave.

Tompkins County’s “Ag Ghetto” policies, like other ghettos in other places, is one of containment. It’s a tool that Urban Colonialism uses to marginalize the rural natives.

Another tool? High rural property taxes — my neighbor just received a 10% increase in his County assessment: it takes an important amount of money to serve the important areas of Tompkins County.

Gonna smoke ya!
(To the tune of Oklahoma!)

Smo-oh-oh-oh-oke that crystal, as your brain cells circle round the drain
And a million feet of lemmings beat
Till you can’t tell pleasure from the pain
Smo-oh-oh-oh-oke that crystal, every day I prey to get on high
Texting tunes and talk, and watch folks walk
Makin’ lazy circles with my eyes.

I know I do wrong with my plans
But the plans put the cash in my hand
And when I say
Youu! Hand-me-all-you-pay!
I’m only sayin’
I feel so fine, when I’m smokin’!
And I’m smokin’, today.

Today-today-Today-Today-Today-Today
O.K.-O.K.-O.K.-O.K.-O.K.-O.K…

I know I do wrong with my plans
But the plans put the cash in my hand
And when I say
Youu! Hand-me-all-you-pay!
I’m only sayin’
I feel so fine, when I’m smokin’!
And I’m smokin’, today.
My – Way – I’m – Home – Today
GONNA-SMOKE-YA!
Yeeow!

“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “Rabid Lemmings: The Musical”

Cornithaca County featured the 15 tune “Bigotry: The Musical” songbook. Now, it’s time for “Rabid Lemmings: The Musical” . . . Fear travels by word of mouth.

“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – New Word: “Unaccountyble”

After repeated complaints about hundreds of thru-cutting dump trucks to County representatives; requesting a 4 TON weight limit on our rural road; the County Highway Director stated “I have researched the area and talked to highway officials in Lansing and they report there are no large through haul trucks utilizing Lansingville Road.”

Photos documenting this truck traffic was sent with no response. Suddenly signs appeared stating a limit of “20 TONS” — a weight limit that would ensure continued road usage by these thru-cutting trucks, and five times the 4 TON weight limit of every other local road.

A complaint letter sent to the Deputy County Administrator resulted in a response that completely ignored the Highway Director’s false claims and strange behavior; saying that the Director “posted the road at 20 tons to limit through traffic of large trucks”. A follow up email urging the County to address the facts of the complaint was ignored.

From there on; County authorities stonewalled and refused to comment or acknowledge any communication.

The full story will be recounted in the upcoming expose: “Tompkins County and Tammany Hall [I can’t seem to find any difference at all]”

“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “I’m not non-Hispanic! I’m Irish!” Bumper Sticker

It’s interesting and revealing that our government policy makers have so many ways to make you less, and so many reasons why they should do this. It was absolutely wrong to discriminate for any reason; now it’s absolutely right to discriminate whenever, and for whatever reason they decide — we were always told America was a “melting pot” of race, gender and culture; now they’ve reversed themselves and punitively profile people in all those ways — there used to be a belief in the innate worth of every human being; now our worth is decided by how will profit an arrogant and self-serving bigotry [covered up with a secretive and unquestionable “greater good.”]

This is not some little thing — no matter how hypocritical and blatantly bigoted their statements and policies; they adamantly refuse to change anything.

When they’re done with their self-love feast; you’re next on the menu. And if you don’t stand up for yourselves; you’re just fast-food wrappers on the side of the highway.

“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “Practice before you preach” Bumper Sticker

Nothing could be less characteristic of today’s social policy and its adherents than the advice contained in this phrase. Rather than trying to be a living example their claims, and abjuring bigoted and discriminatory actions; they insist their right [by virtue of their race, gender, ethnicity] to perform acts of bigotry and discrimination [by race, gender, and ethnicity] — thereby double dipping into the very evil that they tar their victims with; while hiding the hypocrisy of their own actions behind censored news, fiddled statistics, and a smokescreen of self-righteous anger and secrecy.

“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “I get the message” Bumper Sticker

A cryptic bumper sticker that’s intentionally thought provoking.

Some problems just don’t go away. Some systems don’t heal themselves after injury.

The TDML attitude says; “I can leave my car engine running because it’s more efficient”; but a more sensible attitude would be to make use of that efficiency to further reduce the carbon footprint.

The world may not return to its previous state; but it may recover more quickly. Or we could just wait . . . with the engine running.

An example of how a small fact can be used to obscure a larger one. Authorities know that presenting facts as “truths” is the best way to have people buy into their policies.

“It begins innocently enough. Farmers use fertilizers to increase the output of their crops so that we can have more food on our tables and more food to sell to the rest of the world. But it is this agricultural runoff combined with urban runoff that brings excessive amounts of nutrients into waterways that feed the Mississippi River and starts a chain of events in the Gulf that turns deadly.”

In the book; I will deconstruct this government handout. It’s amazing how many misrepresentations are dovetailed into these few sentences — a beautiful piece of work.
