FFB Wk 2 & WAC Ohio @ Riverfest

Another 3-1 week in FFB, including a convincing win in my $ league, scoring almost double the points I did last week. Currently 2nd in the league, as there is only 1 other undefeated and he has me on points scored right now as the tiebreaker, play the team that features Adrian Peterson next week. Tough league, 6 people @ 1-1, the other 2 are 0-2, and its a big week for everyone coming up. 2-0 in 1 of the public leagues, 1-1 in the other 2 public leagues.

Now on to more serious matters. The WAC in my blog title stands for We Are Change. There are groups just like WAC Ohio all over the country, and even around the world. These people do the dirty work, such as asking questions no other media dare ask political figures in person, or investigate why military checkpoints were in place in Newport, KY (the other side of the river literally from Ohio, so its close enough to home if ya know what I mean) via military police from the U.S. Army National Guard. The reason given by the Guard? Traffic control. Now, wouldn't you think the local police could handle the issue if needed, or more or less, people could manage themselves? It's acclimation to getting you used to seeing armed military in the streets of America. And as you'll see in this video here (also links to an article posted with it), you'll see Camo Humvees, the side arms of the Guardsmen (45's) and even the conversations they have with the WAC Ohio members who shot the footage.

Sure, this may have been 2 weeks ago, and I for a fact did not go. But if you did go, and you wanted to park on the KY side, you likely saw these very things I'm describing here. And in due time, this could become standard for EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE!!! Will it happen overnight? No. But could it happen in say 15-20 years (if not sooner)? You bet it could, as funds to everything seem to get cut left and right these days, except the military which keeps getting more funds as things continue to collapse.

Speaking of financial issues, that is what faced Newport, as WAC Ohio uncovered through an interview with a thirty-year veteran of the Newport Police Department, who wished to remain anonymous. He stated that the local municipalities were desperately strapped for funds and that the city had been cutting back his division at the department.

While he welcomed the help from the National Guard, he recognized that funding was being systematically shifted away from local governments in favor of Washington.

And it will only continue to get more and more centralized. (in regards to Washington controlling everything) unless they are stopped in 1 peaceful form or another.

A member of WAC Ohio, Sam Logulo, felt that the soldiers did not belong in this type of situation. “Police traditionally work with the citizenry,” said Logulo. “The military, their job is to kill and destroy.”

I agree 100% with you on that 1 Sam, and I'm sure many others also agree with your statement.

For those who want to know more about WAC Ohio (and also a 2nd way of seeing this video in the event the 1st link I provided cuts in and out, which it has for me) go to this website here. You can also watch past videos from WAC Ohio at their official Youtube page here.

Until Next Time...
