Communitarianism

The Truth About "Communitarian Law"

In 2004 I wrote about Communitarianism in Communities of Sustainable Fools, as I observed it locally, but before I knew it had a name. A few weeks later I discovered the name while doing research for Communitarianism vs. Synarchism: The Left and Right of One-Worldism. That research took me to the Anti-Communitarian League (ACL) and well documented information on Communitarianism presented by the league's founders Niki Raapana (the tent lady) and Nordica Friedrich ("sunshine unit"). I supported the ACL until now by sharing information and ideas, dozens of links to ACL web pages, as well as small donations totaling no more than $1000.00 in value. The ACL has defined a well reasoned and clear statement of the local implementation of the United Nations Agenda 21 programs as they are implemented in every state and county, and most cities, small towns and rural communities in the United States and in most other UN member nations around the world.

On December 3, 2009, I announced the withdrawal of my support for the ACL because of Niki's egregious response to my concerns about her idea of soliciting the assistance of "contractors, churches, homeless orgs..." in promoting the sale of a new book about building Gertees. I expressed those concerns of the potential for compromise of the "core ACL message" (which presumably was anti-communitarianism) in comments to NIki's Nov. 24th Blog post announcing the 2010 Book Promo Tour, I pointed out that:

• Contractors are licensed and are thus bound to support the communitarian municipal code.
• Churches are 501c3 faith-based communitarian organizations. "By meeting the needs of the community, the community will take care of the church." - Secret of Church Growth ".
• Homeless organizations are funded by HUD, NGO's and PPP's. "These grants are awarded on a competitive basis to local organizations that serve the homeless and try to help them through dire straits," - $7.68 Million to N.M. Homeless Org's .

Niki's response to those concerns came four days later with the Nov. 28th Blog post About the ACL. In it she stated: "We reserve the right to sell our books to anyone and in any way we choose. We will no longer tolerate 'petit bourgeois' commentary on our lifestyle or choices. ... I find it "inconceivable" that I am to be compelled to continue in my decline by Americans who plan to dictate my life from the comfort of their modern homes, receiving US government pensions."

I commented:

"Niki, it is very probable that all of the friends who have helped support you and your anti-communitarian position throughout your ACL experience are among the 'petit bourgeois' the section of the middle class with the lowest social status.

"Now it appears that you are willing to cast of those supporters in favor of a new set of friends you are inviting on facebook. ...I don't know what you are thinking, but the message is clear that you are abandoning the support base for your long years of ACL work. I wish you well, but I cannot support this new venture on those terms."

Niki replied:

"So Bobby... wherever did you get the idea that I am casting off my supporters for a 'new set of friends?'"... My financial support, what little there is, has sporadically come from rich Americans (which is the ONLY reason 2020 exists), poor Americans (who embarass me with their generosity), educated Americans (who send books and DVDS), musicians, Christians (from every sect), Jews (who hosted the ACL website for free for years), recovered Greens (who send ammo), and Vets, who send love. ...

I know you love to browbeat people with your opinion...".

That last remark would have to be in reference to my ability to defend myself against liars and their false arguments, because Niki has witnessed that many times, and even insisted that I be on her team if Etzioni ever accepted her challenge for a debate. Now I'm just "browbeating" because I pointed out the potential for compromising the ACL message.

Niki then says this is "the REAL me".

Next Nordica says that I cannot "know what the core message is, and you[I] never will. The core message is whatever the hell we want it to be, because it's our club!"

Since discovering the ACL in 2004, I was certain that the "core message" was "anti-communitarianism", but now I am asked to accept that it may be something else, indeed must be, because I cannot know what it is. I must conclude therefore that the ACL core message is a secret known only to members of the club. I will not support what I do not know.

Niki posted on Facebook, "I am the ACL...".

So, the ACL aka Niki has a core message which is whatever she and Nordica says it is, and no one else can know what it is because it's a club secret.

If this were a second grade argument on the playground at recess, it could easily be excused, but it is not. This is a serious matter, and I expressed legitimate concerns for something which I had been deeply and personally involved with (the anti-communitarian position). I must insist on behavior befitting adults. I have asked honest questions and expressed legitimate concerns, and Niki has responded with childish bickering, allegations, insinuations and hyperbole, totally avoiding the issue.

The Truth About "Communitarian Law"

The Anti-Communitarian League says:

Communitarians in the United States control and direct American lives via rebuilding community, planning, mandatory volunteerism, and sustainable development agencies. DOJ's Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS-trained by the KGB and the Mossad) provides armed social police and city planners who write and enforce new communitarian laws and programs.

The Anit-Communitarian League claims that this "communitarian agenda" is all happening because of something called "Communitarian Law". In a topic posted at nikiraapana.blogspot.com, one paragraph reads:

It drove me bonkers when the term "communitarian law" was discounted as unverifiable. I've since posted hundreds of links to case law, universities and seminars openly teaching communitarian principles for international justice. At some point the Americans have GOT to start studying the actual LAW, don't they? (emphasis added)

I offered the following comment which was apparently posted by the administrator (Niki), and then deleted:

The "actual LAW". What a great idea! Why don't we start here with FDR's unconstitutional fourth branch of government? The U.S. Constitution does not apply to private corporations which all government agencies are. That's why Roosevelt established them because they can do things which are forbidden of government to do. The Administrative Procedure Act of 1946 put congresses stamp of approval on the agencies unconstitutional powers. The Administrative Procedure Act transfered certain legislative powers to the Office of the President. When the president signs an executive Order, he is exercising his congressionally authorized powers under Administrative Law.

Federal government agencies are required by congress to write their own rules/regulations. Such regulations constitute private contractual law, and they are legally binding in all U.S. Administrative Law (Article I) Courts.

Executive orders were traditionally issued to manage the executive Office of the President just as congress has authority to write it's own rules for managing their business. Congress has review authority of all Executive Orders, and they pass into law if congress fails to act.

When were Executive Orders first applied beyond federal jurisdiction which is limited to federal territories and possessions such as Washington D.C., Porto Rico, etc.?

Why does congress sit on the sidelines and allow it?

Administrative Law (agency rules and regulations) overstepped constitutional authority with the agencies set up by FDR's New Deal during the Great Depression.

U.S. government agencies are using Administrative Law to implement the agenda of Communitarian ideals, but it is not "Communitarian Law", and sending people on a goose chase for Communitarian Law is to send them down a blind dark alley.

Is "Communitarian Law" the problem? ...or is it merely one of the symptoms?

If it's one of the symptoms, then fighting it is like fighting Uncle Remuses unresponsive Tar Baby Text, YouTube Video.

To who's advantage does that work?

Unfortunately, the ACL founders have become too heavily invested in their "core message" that communitarian law is real, to the point that it has become dogmatic. Communitarian Law exists because they find evidence of it, but any proof that it's merely a symptom of a problem and not the real cause of the problem must be ignored in order to preserve the core message. The effect of course is that attention is diverted away from the actual source of the problem which is Administrative Law as it was used to implement Depression era New Deal socialist programs in the USA.

Administrative Law now functions in the USA as an unconstitutional, and therefore unlimited "Fourth Branch of Government". There is no such thing as "Communitarian Law". There is Administrative Law implementing a Communitarian agenda.
