I dug into the archives of information I have from the 60's to bring out information on why you have lost the right to control your own land. The information is from Jo Hindman from Caldwell, Idaho from her book published in 1963, about the time I began getting serious in the conservative movement. It is very brief and more information can be found. You will notice that the original location is 1313 E. 60th St. Chicago Il. and was also the locatrion of Obamas buddy Ayeres urban school improvement which Obama was involved with. Ever wonder why they call it metro transit etc. Swampy
1313, completed in 1938, embodied the vision of two men, Charles E. Merriam, and Louis Brownlow. Brownlow had forged a career (without benefit of formal education) as a city manager and as a forceful advocate for the public service professions. Merriam was a University of Chicago political science professor with a bent for activism that led to service as
a Chicago alderman and to two (unsuccessful) runs for the Mayoralty. The two men
conceived 1313 as a vibrant center for (in the words of a 1963 booklet) “the improvement of the organization, administrative techniques, and methods of government--municipal, county, state, and federal--in the United States.” Within a few years, 1313 had clearly become a nerve center for American public administration. By 1963, it was organizational home to 22 non-profit entities, including:
Council of State Governments
National Legislative Conference
Public Administration Service
National Association of State Budget Officers
National Association of Attorneys General
Proximity was a key factor in the Merriam-Brownlow concept: proximity of the building’s
organizational inhabitants both to each other and to the resources of the University of Chicago. The lively, continuous, cross-fertilizing exchanges ensuing from these proximitieswere to advance the professionalization of public administration in the U.S.
What in the end finished 1313 as a nerve center of public administration was the lure of Washington, D.C. By the late 1980’s the exodus to Washington had drained the building of all but three of its public administration organizations. By the mid 1990’s only the American Planning Association remained, and the University of Chicago was grappling with the question of 1313’s future.
Today, in addition to CHC, 1313 is home to the Neighborhood Writing Project, the Center for Urban School Improvement, the Consortium for Chicago School Research. and some offices of the University of Chicago’s Biological Sciences Division.
“The giant combine that conspires against you proceeds virtually unnoticed, while American attention is riveted in Communism in Cuba and abroad. Metro policy = collectivization; Metro program = "Metro" government.
Under Metro, states would cease. Cities would become enormous satellites ruled by managerial Metro power. Zone space between cities would be strictly regimented according to arbitrary code.
It continues, "...infiltrants of Metro into traditional check-and-balance Federal government (and state government) have and are engineering conversion of the American Republic into a giant collectivized unit."
And further:
“Gigantic expansion of irresponsible executive-staff administrative department of government is a key hashmark of Metro government.”
This executive control of a perceived judicial system is exactly from the works of Metro. Notice that Metro controls the Conference of Chief Justices and the National Association of Attorneys General. Is the picture becoming clear yet? The PAS, as stated, controls the financing aspect of Metro's municipal designs. The following is a list of PAS governed agencies:
American Public Works Association
American Public Welfare Association
Public Personnel Association
American Municipal Association
International City Managers' Association
Municipal Finance Officers' Association
National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials
National Association of Assessing Officers
American Society of Planning Officials
Federation of Tax Administrators
American Society of Public Administrators
National Institute of Municipal Clerks
Committee for International Municipal Corporations; U.S.A.
Building Officials' Conference of America
In this connection, Congressman Paul A. Fino, on February 21, 1967, declared:
"But can HUD force the suburbs of big cities to be part of a metropolitan scheme? The answer is "yes".
"Under Title II of the omnibus cities bill of 1966 — the metro title — all applications for federal aid under ten programs such as sewers, construction of hospitals, highways, libraries, airports, etc., must soon be submitted to a metropolitan-wide planning body — metro government — for recommendation before they are forwarded to Washington. The metro government to which the applications must be submitted must be a joint planning body for the central city and suburbs."
