December 2022 – Rural Tompkins County

“The World According to Doctrine” — Their favorite cover crop is bullshit

The Town of Lansing is about to turn the rural community into an AG Zoning District for the sole benefit of a handful of rich farmers. Non-farming residents [the poor 95%] have had all their land uses removed except for having a house – this will force them to sell all other land to famers; or face the regressive tax burdens of AG structured assessments. The rural community have had no meaningful participation, representation, or respect from the unilateral planning authorities.

This is how Progressive government works: the rich get richer – and the poor get stepped on . . . and demeaned . . . and disposed of

“The World According to Doctrine” — My facts can beat your assertions

No wonder debate is dead – Doctrine is a revealed belief: there is no need for debate or thought. The insistence on facts brings denial, anger, and then . . .

Facts may beat assertions — but fists can beat you senseless.

“The World According to Doctrine” — “They were in the wrong place . . .”

Everybody in the Criminal Justice System knows: it’s the victims that cause all the trouble – they’re the grit that fouls up the smooth running cycle of plea bargains and paroles, cause unnecessary paperwork, and drive up departmental statistics.

So the victims are now “complainants” – and the criminals? They’re victims of complainants.

“The World According to Doctrine” — Recipe for Disaster: Emerging Technologies

The dangers of Emerging Technologies are like the iceberg the Titanic hit – best avoided by foresight; only officially accounted for in hindsight — but the protocols are so good that we don’t need to carry lifeboats.

“The World According to Doctrine” — Thinkin’ like Lincoln

When did we change from believing that people were so important; we should form policies around them – to believing that policies are so important; we should form society around them? When did “important” change from the raison d’être for rights – to the raison d’être for restrictions?

Lincoln believed that; “Important principles may, and must, be inflexible.” When did we begin to bend them to fit our desires?

“The World According to Doctrine” — They keep changing lenses

Tompkins County policies are all about following the money – and their policy making is all about finding a usable lens that excuses it.

The Town of Lansing’s AG Zoning District re-zones agricultural activities along the lake to Lakeshore residences: because those areas “are environmentally sensitive” and “potential problems related to steep slopes” [and because rich people want lakeshore houses] – but ignores mile after mile of equally steep slopes of unbuffered agricultural activity along nearby Salmon Creek: one of the major sources of agricultural pollution and impairment of the lake.

Preservation of agriculture is so important that the AG Zoning District radically changes the zoning and allowed activities of a 200 year old rural community: leaving poor non-farming landowners no choice; but to sell out to the rich farming interests – or go under through a regressive tax structure.

And behind it all is Cornell: making lenses for their friends.

Tompkins County: where the rich get richer – and the poor get stepped on — all according to plan.

“The World According to Doctrine” — Agricultural Law is a Hate Crime

Non-farming rural residents in New York straddle a line between unborn children: who are not human beings by law – and farmers: who are preferred by law — they are a forced-to-admit-they-are-human classification that is demonized and disposable – the grit in the smoothly oiled Agricultural lobby.

“A hate crime is a crime that is motivated in whole or substantial part by bias against certain personal characteristics.”

Agricultural bias is documented in every policy statement they make, and every regressive zoning law they support – But according to New York State law, there must be an underlying crime in order for an incident to be classified as a hate crime — and if you are disposable: you can’t be a victim – so there can’t be a crime.

In our uncaring society: the line between good and bad is licensable — and Agricultural Law is bought and paid for.

“The World According to Doctrine” — Slavery isn’t based on hate

Slavery isn’t based on hate – it’s based on a denial of individual worth. A belief that people can be used as commodities. The same belief that fosters slavery – is the same belief that populates today’s legislation. Beware.

“The World According to Doctrine” — Rebranding Bigotry

Rebranding isn’t just for changing the corporate image of an organization – it’s become a marketing strategy for every evil that has oppressed people throughout history. The idea behind this rebranding is to create a different identity for evil in the minds of the public: evil as a force for good.

Rebranding may relabel evil by pasting “equitable” or “affirmative” on the same acts and attitudes that have destroyed everything they touched; or claim these acts are made from 100% “Greater Good” – as if the steps of evil will eventually lead us to a higher plane of existence.

Rebranding is the tyrant’s tool: Denying the individual worth of human beings – and focusing on profit as the goal of all social interactions.

Evil: Ride for the brand – and be the hide with the brand.
