City Council Denies Public Comment today while South Central Farm is bulldozed
At Least 8 Arrests as Farmers and Farm Supporters Attempt to Save The Farm by Climbing Trees and Entering Farm
Despite the fact that South Central Farmers have continued positive outreach efforts towards developer Ralph Horowitz, his bulldozers accompanied by LAPD have destroyed at least 50% of the 14 acre, 14 year old farm. Farmers and farm supporters are flocking to the scene today, many of them throwing themselves onto the farm as a last effort to save the many rare and precious plants and trees, some of which are protected under city law.
Just one day after Independence Day, City Council members refused public comment in today’s open meeting denying Los Angeles residents their 1st Amendment right to address publicly elected officials. This was also a direct violation of the Brown Act. The issue of failed justice began when Horowitz bought the land from the City of Los Angeles in a closed deal for 5 Million Dollars when it was worth 13.3 Million in 1994. This sale will be contested in a court case on July 12. Los Angeles residents are outraged that the city of Los Angeles squandered important city monies in this deal that could have been used for other city business.
“Today the bulldozing of 14 years of hard work is heart breaking and unconscionable especially considering how far the farmers and community supporters have stretched to reach out to meet Horowitz’ demands. What we see on every level of this issue is ultimately a failure in justice and respect. In the midst of the heart break and devastation, we stand committed that this land be bought back and remain under the governance of the South Central Farmers”, said Julia Butterfly Hill today.
The vision for South Central Farm includes a community center for children of this and surrounding neighborhoods. Only last week City Council Person Jan Perry addressed the violence problem in her District 9 as residents were outraged by the violent and unnecessary death of 3 young people just one mile from the farm.

FOR ALL OF YOU I HAVEN'T HAD THE CHANCE TO THANK PERSONALLY YET, THANKS FOR ADDING ME & SHOWING YOUR SUPPORT! KEEP ON SPREADING THE WORD! Click here for latest updates from SouthCentralFarmersHi, welcome to Zetsuai's political ultra-ego page!! Yes, I'm the same Zetsuai1989 anime girl (see my frenz list!) but I needed more space to dedicate to the URGENT SOUTH CENTRAL FARMERS issue at hand. South Central Farmers have received an EVICTION NOTICE in the last week after losing a 3-yr battle to regain their land permanently from the multi-millionaire developer RALPH HOROWITZ who bought back the land taken by emminent domain by the city more than a decade ago.
HOWEVER!! Was it really legal or even moral for the city of Los Angeles to sell back the land to the developer GROSSLY UNDER MARKET VALUE in a BEHIND THE DOOR TRANSACTION, not ever notifying the people who work the land in question?? AND THEN, this MILLIONAIRE DEVELOPER demanding these poor sustinance farmers to BUY BACK THE LAND FOR CURRENT MARKET VALUE if they want to stay???
The farmers of South Central Farm, a 14-acre COMMUNITY BASED CO-OP farm has been feeding and supporting the southcentral community of LA for over a decade.

Student Demo at Jordan High in Watts

June 12, 2008

Yesterday afternoon a press conference and protest occurred over the removal of educator Karen Salazar, fired by the administrators of Jordan High (Watts) for "Afro-Centrism".
Poet and Educator Mark Gonzales also publicly resigned from the school over frustration over administrative and educational atmosphere, along with over a dozen other teachers.
SEE: http://unlockingtheclassroom.blogspot
NOW: The Principal is calling students into the office for passing out flyers about Sazalar's firing and demanding the retention of caring teachers. He is claiming "disruption" of school activity even though the protest on the flyer is AFTER school hours and NOT ON SCHOOL GROUNDS!


DEMAND: IMMEDIATE return of students to their classes; STOP the waste of their instructional time. STOP the harassment of youth practicing democracy. STOP the abuse of power.

Memories at the South Central Farm

American Dictators
..
American Dictators is a 90+ minute expose chronicling the degeneration of America's political process. Alex Jones rips away layer after layer of the false left-right paradigm (that Bush the Skull and Kerry the Bone have both sworn an oath to a secret society with deep connections to organized crime, intelligence agencies, and the occult) and finally reveals the 2004 election for what it is -- stage managed theater that would make Shakespeare proud. Jones travels back to the elite encampment in Northern California, the Bohemian Grove where he infiltrated and got the only video footage of the bizarre rituals conducted by the bushes and others. 9/11 The Road to Tyranny
..
THE ROAD TO TYRANNY EXPOSES: HOW DOZENS OF FBI AND DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AGENTS WERE THREATENED WITH ARREST BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IF THEY GOT IN THE WAY OF AL-QAEDA OPERATIONS (THE FILM INCLUDES AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH IMPEACHMENT LAWYER DAVID SCHIPPERS ON THE ALEX JONES SHOW JUST 2 WEEKS AFTER THE ATTACKS. SCHIPPERS HAS SINCE BEEN THREATENED WITH ARREST IF HE CONTINUES TO SPEAK OUT, AND IS BEGGING THE MEDIA AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO GET THIS STORY OUT); RECENTLY DECLASSIFIED TOP-SECRET NORTHWOODS DOCUMENT WRITTEN BY THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF LAID OUT PLANS TO BOMB WASHINGTON AND TO HIJACK AIRPLANES AS A PRETEXT FOR WAR, ETC,.....THIS IS ONE FILM YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO IGNORE! THE FUTURE OF FREE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE IS AT STAKE. (WARNING: THIS FILM HAS A SOMEWHAT HEAVY CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVE SLANT, WHICH IS NOT ENDORSED BY ME IN ITS ENTIRETY, HOWEVER ALEX JONES GIVES A GOOD ENTERPRETATION OF HOW OUR GOVERNMENT ARE TARGETING BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT GROUP ORGANIZATIONS IN THEIR EFFORTS TO SUBDUE THE MASSES.) IT TALKS ABOUT HOW ALL "THOSE WHO MAKE FREQUENT REFERENCES TO THE US CONSTITUTION" ARE TERRORISTS. WE ALL NEED TO WORK IN SOLIDARITY TO FIGHT BACK OUR COMMON ENEMIES AND NOT LET OUR GROWING POLICE STATE "DIVIDE AND CONQUER" THE COMMON MASSSES! V for Vendetta & 9/11 Video Mix
