Letter to the editor

As a resident of Highland Mills, and a wife of a volunteer firefighter, I am pleased to announce that the High-land Mills Fire Company has recently voted to reinstate and reorganize the Ladies Auxiliary.

On behalf of the women’s organiza-tion, I would like to take this oppor-tunity to welcome you and invite you to join us in this new and exciting ad-venture.

The mission of the Highland Mills Fire Company Ladies Auxiliary is to support the firefighters of the fire com-pany and the citizens they serve, as well as doing what we can to make our community a better place. It is the goal of the Ladies Auxiliary to give aid and assistance to the Highland Mills Fire Company whenever possible. Toward this goal, the Auxiliary will try to hold

several fundraisers throughout the year, and respond to requests for assis-tance during fires, and other situations that require the firemen to be on the scene for an extended length of time.

At the current time, we are holding a membership drive and we need you to help support us. If you would like to join the Ladies Auxiliary, please feel free to email me for more information or to sign up. Stop by one of our in-formation sessions on either Monday, June 29th or Monday, July 6th starting at 7 PM at the Highland Mills Fire House. Our first official meeting is anticipated to be held in August, so stay tuned for details! Sincerely, Ashley BurkeReinstatement Organizer, Highland Mills Fire Company Ladies [email protected]

Neuhaus on two bills - could have affected KJ’s expansion plans being vetoed Goshen – Orange County Executive Steven M. Neuhaus released the following statement after learning that Governor Andrew Cuomo vetoed two bills late last Wednesday night that would have affected the proposed annexations of approximate-ly 165 acres and 507 acres from the Town of Monroe into the Village of Kiryas Joel.

“I’m disappointed that the bill was vetoed and obviously would have preferred that Orange County be given a formal role in this annexation process. But we will continue with our own thorough review and make recommendations on the pro-posed annexation. I wish that the state had responded over a year ago when I first asked to give the County a formal, legally binding role in the annexation process.

Neuhaus added: “The most logical place for that would have been in SEQRA lead agency selection. If this effort happened a year ago, instead of a rush at the end of this year’s Legislative session, I believe the law would have been passed and signed.

That said, Orange County, along with our local municipalities, will continue to address this important issue. Our own independent study has found that the pro-posed annexations from the Town of Monroe into Kiryas Joel are not in Orange County’s best interests.”

Funding to repair Palisades Parkway & Route 6Announcement by Senator Larkin, Assemblymen Skoufis and Zebrowski

Supervisor Caruso’s letter to DOT - Exit 131 Interchange Project“We in this area need relief from this deplorable condition…now”Woodbury NY - The following letter was sent by Town of Woodbury Su-pervisor, Ralph Caruso, to Mr. Schaefer at NYDOT. It was sent following a public meeting held by DOT on May 27th.

Michael Schaefer, P.E.New York State Department of Transportation4 Burnett BoulevardPoughkeepsie, New York 12603

I wish to comment about the Route 17 (I86) Exit 131 Interchange Project.To start with let me say this proposed interchange is way overdue. Being

a resident of the Town of Woodbury for over 45 years, I have seen the tremendous increase in traffic brought about by increased residential de-velopment and the commercial development of Woodbury Common. Our residents have had to endure traffic jams, and increased pollution from unnecessary idling of those cars due to traffic buildup, and just too many vehicles in general.

I also point out that the residents of the Town of Woodbury are spend-ing more money for their car insurance because we are considered a high accident area. This is a result of all the accidents taking place in Woodbury by transient vehicles while visiting the Woodbury Common, or just passing through our town. With an effi-ciently designed interchange some of the traffic conditions should be miti-gated thus lessening the adverse effects on our population.

I therefore, impress upon you the necessity to actively pursue an expe-dited bid letting and construction starting date, one that is not scheduled as far as it is into the future, which could possibly be once again post-poned. We in this area need relief from this deplorable condition, and we need it now.

I thank you in advance for your consideration, and look forward to move on this project now and not later.Sincerely,Ralph Caruso, Town SupervisorTown of Woodbury

Albany, NY - Senator Bill Larkin (R-Cornwall) alongside Assemblymen James Skoufis (D-Woodbury) and Ken Zebrowski (D-New City) announced that over $10 million in critical state funding has been secured to repair the north section of the Palisades Interstate Parkway after years of neglect. Ad-ditionally, Route 6 will be resurfaced between Route 293 and the Palisades Parkway later this year.

Specifically, the Palisades Parkway work will be done in two phases. This year, the area from the PIP Bookstore to the Bear Mountain Circle will be repaved; next year, the area from Exit 13 (Haver-straw/Suffern) to the bookstore will be repaired. Addressing the north section of the Palisades Interstate Parkway was made a priority by the area’s state legis-lative delegation during the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 budget negotiations.

Assemblymen Skoufis and Zebrowski held a press conference in February high-lighting the deplorable condition of the thoroughfare and calling on the Depart-ment of Transportation (DOT) to make the long-overdue repairs. Since then, the Assemblymen and Senator Larkin worked to obtain the necessary funding in the recently passed state budget.

“Cooperation and teamwork always produce positive results,” said Senator Larkin. “Addressing this serious infra-structure issue has been a priority of ours for a long time. We have all field-ed phone calls and complaints from hundreds of constituents. I am proud to say that through our concerted effort we were able to secure the necessary funds to address this issue.”

Assemblyman Zebrowski added, “I am happy that our calls for the much needed rehabilitation of the Palisades Parkway have been heard. The long overdue repaving of the parkway will greatly improve the driving conditions for the millions of motorists who travel this roadway each year. I want to thank the DOT for recognizing the safety concerns and making this project a pri-ority over the next two years.”

Assemblyman Skoufis said, “One of government’s most basic functions is to ensure our roads are safe for travel. With this funding that my colleagues and I were able to secure, residents will finally be able to drive on the Palisades Parkway and Route 6 without worrying about navigating a dangerous minefield in order to avoid unnecessary and ex-pensive damage to their vehicles.”

Book Discussion Choice for July: Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel García Márquez. Born in Colombia in 1927, Mr. Garcia Marquez was the author of many works of fiction and nonfiction such as Love in the Time of Cholera and One Hundred Years of Solitude. In 1982, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Chronicle overview: “A man returns to the town where a baffling murder took place 27 years earlier, determined to get to the bottom of the story. Just hours after marrying the beautiful Angela Vicario, everyone agrees, Bayardo San Roman returned his bride in disgrace to her parents. Her distraught family forced her to name her first lover; and her twin brothers announced their intention to murder Santiago Nasar for dishonoring their sister. Yet if everyone knew the murder was going to happen, why did no one intervene to stop it? The more that is learned, the less is understood, and as the story races to its inexplicable conclusion, an entire society - not just a pair of murderers - is put on trial.” - barnesandnoble.com.

Museum Village is a living history museum preserving a vast collection of eclectic, 19th century artifacts for edu-cational purposes. Using these artifacts and reproductions, we provide hands-on experiences and exhibits illustrating the transition from a rural to an indus-trial culture and economy in America, provoking thought and discussion about history. www.museumvillage.org

- Museum Village is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Educational Institution.

Museum Village’s Summer Programs - through August 30, every Saturday and Sunday (except certain special events), the museum will have costumed interpreters in the buildings and all of the buildings on the green will be open.

“Last year during the summer we had the buildings opened and staffed

on Sundays,” says Michael Sosler, Executive Director. “This year, based on the positive feedback and satisfied visitors, we are doing the same thing on Saturdays. Once again, we want the pa-trons to have the complete experience of the 19th Century Village. The best way to do that is to have the interac-tion and hands-on activities in as many buildings as possible. Being able to hear from the druggist and the teacher, make a candle and visit the printer pro-vides a very memorable visit. We want weekends to be special here!”

Summer hours for the museum ef-fective Tuesday, June 30, 2015 through Thursday, September 3, 2015, will be Tuesday – Sunday, 11:00AM – 4:00PM. Tours will be given Tuesday – Friday, 12:30PM and 2:00PM and interpre-tive staff will be in buildings Saturday & Sunday.

Woodbury combines annual Fireworks with the Touch-a-Truck event

By Benjamin Meyers

Central Valley - Highland Mills Fire Company and Woodbury’s Highway De-partment capped off a tremendous day of fun and activities for children, teens and adults.

Saturday at noon started activities with Kids Day at the “Rez”. After that fin-ished, the Highway Department had organized a Touch-a-Truck event at the M-W Middle School. Highway Superintendent, Rob Weyant, organized over fifty trucks so kids could climb into, over, and around them…a great learning expe-rience. There were fire trucks, pumpers, ladder trucks and assorted emergency vehicles manned by men from surrounding communities. They came from Tall-man, NY, Monroe, Chester as well as, of course, Woodbury.

Phil Nask, Jr. brought motor-cycles, his own blue newly finished bike, and the Spider and 911 bikes from Orange County Choppers. Woodbury’s Highway trucks were awesome. If you asked, you could get your blood pressure checked in a Woodbury’s ambulance by John Ross. Gary Weyant brought his new race car that really thrilled some kids as the just fit into its cockpit.

Then at dusk, just around the corner of the school, fireworks celebrated Independence Day. It was wonderful. Thank you to you firemen and Highway Depart-ment members.

Woodbury Police Use Narcan for OverdoseNarcan’s life saving benefits have been used to reverse effects of heroin

Cuomo Veto Message“The governor’s veto message is flat-out wrong” – Assemblyman Skoufis“Governor Cuomo’s veto message of Assembly Bill 7639 claims the legisla-tion is in violation of Article IX of the New York State Constitution and alleges, ‘a county’s consent to a local annexation petition shall be required only where a boundary of the county is affected.’”

“The governor’s veto message is flat-out wrong. The relevant section of Article IX of the Constitution reads, word-for-word, “The consent of the governing board of a county shall be required only where a boundary of the county is affected.” A.7639 gives no authority whatsoever to the county governing board (legislature); the bill provides review power to the county planning department. Furthermore, the legislation does not require con-sent and only permits the county planner to issue a recommendation. This information and how it relates to Article IX of the Constitution was clearly explained to the governor’s office in a meeting two weeks ago.”

“Sadly, Governor Cuomo’s veto message appears to be nothing more than fabricated reasoning to reach a predetermined outcome. It is extremely disappointing that the governor chose to ignore the voices of thousands of residents from every municipality in Orange County.”

“Until last year, the County had not held an Independence Day holiday fireworks show for residents in al-most a decade. This event is a great way to honor our veterans and pro-vides an opportunity for the entire community to come together to cel-ebrate” said Steve Neuhaus.

Orange County has partnered with Suburban Propane and the Committee for the Families of War Veterans to bring the show to resi-dents. Bands Xcalibur and Black

Dirt Bandits will provide entertain-ment at The Salute to Our Veterans Fireworks Spectacular. K104.7 will be the exclusive radio station on hand for the event.

Residents can purchase food and drinks from vendors throughout the evening. Live music at the event will be played from 5 to 7:15 p.m. American Legion Post 151 of Middletown will perform a color guard presentation at 7:30 p.m. Other highlights for the eve-ning’s program include the singing of the national anthem by Goshen High School student Honor Montmarquet and a welcome from Neuhaus. There will be more live music from 8 until 9:30 p.m. The fireworks show is set to start at approximately 9:40 a.m. and last for 20 minutes.

Woodbury - On 07/10/15 at 0919am, Woodbury Police Officers’ Joseph Pan-zica, Charles Tausk and Joseph Iorio re-sponded to a Highland Mills residence for a report of a heroin overdose.

When the officers arrived on scene they administered two doses of nasal

Narcan to a male who had overdosed. The effects of the Narcan took effect and the subject involved was turned over to EMS and was transported to the hospi-tal. Narcan’s life saving benefits has been used to reverse the effects of heroin and other opioid overdoses.

Central Valley - As you may have read, the Souza Scholarship for the Performing Arts is again producing a musical show this summer, Footloose, the Musical, to be at presented at the Monroe-Woodbury High School on Friday, July 31 and Saturday, August 1 at 7 PM, with a matinee performance on Sunday, August 2 at 2 PM. What you may not know is that this is the 35th anniversary production of this long-running local scholarship organi-zation.

“This scholarship, established in the name of late and beloved Monroe-Woodbury music teacher and per-former Bob Souza, who passed away in 1980, has been supporting local per-forming arts students for 35 years now. We’ve given away well over a hundred thousand dollars in awards and have produced countless shows and musical concerts,” says longtime Souza chair-man Bob Curtis. “But what has been most encouraging to me, in terms of the continuing longevity of this cre-ative group, is the young people who have, quite literally, come to its rescue in the last several years.”

While the Souza group has pre-sented more than 20 shows and 25 faculty concerts since its inception in 1980, there have been some lean years for the scholarship. “There were peri-ods where we just weren’t able to mo-bilize the ‘peoplepower’ we needed to mount the type of show we wanted to do,” Curtis recalls. “During that time, our fundraising efforts were relegated to cheesecake and fruit sales and char-ity car washes.”

But with the infusion of some new Souza Committee members and the ef-forts of enthusiastic directors like Tony Funaro, Maureen Burt, and now Dom Pascullo, the group has been able to get back to the business of presenting shows in keeping with its mission, to promote the performing arts and as-

sist talented young local performers. In the past 10 years, Souza has presented such successful shows as Seussical, the Musical (2005), Godspell (2008), Brigadoon (2009), The Secret Garden

(2010), Phantom Tollbooth Jr. (2012), The Mystery of Edwin Drood (2013), How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (2014), and this summer, Footloose, the Musical.

And as it should be, the beneficia-ries of all of this creativity and long, hard work are the young people them-selves, who both perform in the shows and are sometimes recipients of the scholarships. Dom Pascullo, himself a graduate of Monroe-Woodbury and performer in previous Souza produc-tions, has directed the last three Souza summer shows.

“All the student actors in this pro-duction of Footloose are among the most talented and hard-working cast members I have been lucky enough to be able to work with,” says Pascullo, in

rehearsals with his cast since June 1. “Forty-six students have been giving up their summers to raise money for a great cause and put on a wonderful production. Apart from the students,

I also have the distinct privilege of working with such a skilled and dedi-cated creative team. Everyone has been working non-stop to make Footloose as incredible a production as possible.”

Other members of the production’s creative team include: Co-Producers – Ronnee MacDonald and Janet Gorgone; Stage Manager - Tierney Egan; Music Director/Pit Conductor - Andres Vahos; Choreographers - Lauren Alifano and Laura Hammerer; Technical Director - Sam Chester; Costume Coordinator - Siobhan Megahey; Sound Designer - Preston Grzegorzewski; Lighting Designer - Jared Pietrzak; Assistant Stage Manager - Erin Craven; and Graphic Designer - Sarah Fields.

“This past school year, the Souza

Scholarship was able to bestow nearly $3500 in scholarships to seven talent-ed and deserving Monroe-Woodbury students from grade 6 to graduating senior,” observed Souza Chairman

Curtis. “We are hoping that another group of enthusiastic theatergoers will attend this year’s show so that we can continue the good work of supporting our most talented young people.”

Is there anyone in your life who could use a good warning right about now?  Someone who is stray-ing from God’s path and needs help finding their way back?  Or someone who is headed for danger—and even tries to take you along?

If so, I want to encourage you today to give them a godly warning about what lies ahead.  As hard as it

may be, know that even if they don’t listen to you right now, your warning may help them to listen closer in the future.

I’m sure it took a lot of faith for the Apostle Paul to warn those around him of the danger facing them in Acts chapter 27.  After all, Paul was hardly in a po-sition of authority over any of them, being himself a prisoner on board a ship bound for Rome.  Yet after his first warning proved to be true, even those who had authority over Paul began to regard his advice as if their lives depended on it—because it did!

Take a look at the first warning Paul offered when he foresaw the winter storms which loomed ahead:

“ ‘Men, I can see that our voyage is going to be disas-trous and bring great loss to ship and cargo, and to our own lives also.’  But the centurion, instead of listening to what Paul said, followed the advice of the pilot and of the owner of the ship. Since the harbor was unsuit-able to winter in, the majority decided that we should sail on, hoping to reach Phoenix and winter there” (Acts 27:9-12a).

So much for Paul’s warning!  But it wasn’t wasted. When the wind whipped up with hurricane force and the crew had to let the storm drive them along in a direction they hadn’t planned to go, the crew eventu-ally began to listen to Paul.  He stood up before them and said:

“ ‘Men, you should have taken my advice not to sail from Crete; then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss. But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed. Last night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve stood beside me and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.’ So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me. Nevertheless, we must run aground on some island’ ” (Acts 27:21-26). 

From that point on, the crew listened to everything Paul said.  When some men tried to escape in a life-boat, Paul warned the centurion that they must stay with the ship or be lost.  The centurion brought them back.  When all aboard had not eaten for fourteen days, Paul encouraged them to finally eat some food as they were about to be saved, but would need the remaining food to survive.

In the end, their ship ran aground on a remote is-land and was blasted apart by the pounding waves.  But just as Paul had foretold, all 276 of the men on board survived.

I would love to be able to speak to others with the confidence which came from the faith that Paul had when he said, “So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me.”  I pray for that kind of faith for myself, and I want to encourage you to pray for it for yourself as well.

Faith warns.  Even when your warnings may not be heeded the first time, they might still be necessary to help others believe in what you say the next time…and the next…and the next. If there’s someone in your life who needs a good warning today, ask God if you’re the one to give it to them.

If there’s someone in your life who is headed in the wrong direction, or even to hell, ask God to give you the faith to point them in the right direction today.

Prayer: Father, help me to have the faith to give godly warnings to those who need it today.  In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Faith Warns Scripture Reading: Acts 27

www.woodburyGazette.com July 16, 2015 13Obituary/History

On July 16, 1779, Pennsylvanian, Anthony Wayne, replicated a bold at-tack used against him by the British at Paoli, Pennsylvania, and personally led a bayonets-only night attack lasting thirty minutes.

Wayne’s three columns of light in-fantry stormed and captured British

fortifications at Stony Point, a cliff-side  redoubt  commanding the south-ern Hudson River. The success of this operation provided a boost to the mo-rale of an army which had at that time suffered a series of military defeats. The Continental Congress awarded him a medal for the victory. His success-ful attack on British positions at Stony

Point, New York in the Battle of Stony Point was the high point of his revolu-tionary war service.

The British fort on the cliffs at Stony Point overlooking the Hudson River threatened West Point, which was only 12 miles upriver. Wayne, at the head of 1,200 light infantry, successfully as-saulted what the British believed was an impregnable position, losing only 15 killed and 83 wounded while the British lost 94 killed and wounded and 472 cap-tured. Remarkably, the attack took place under cover of darkness, employed only bayonets as weaponry and lasted a mere 30 minutes. Two days later, Wayne, now dubbed “mad” for his enthusiastic and successful undertaking of a mission that had seemed doomed to failure, de-stroyed the fortifications and evacuated the area. Congress rewarded Wayne’s ef-forts with a medal.

Much of Wayne’s ensuing career in-volved divesting Native Americans of their land. Following the victory at York-town, Wayne traveled to Georgia, where he negotiated treaties with the Creeks and Cherokees. They paid dearly in land for their decision to side with the British, and Georgia paid Wayne in land—giving him a large plantation—for his efforts on their behalf. In 1794, President George Washington called upon Wayne to bring the ongoing violence with British-backed Indians in the Northwest Territory to a close. Wayne was victorious at the Bat-tle of Fallen Timbers, near what is now Toledo, Ohio, and gained much of what would become Ohio and Indiana for the U.S. in the Treaty of Greenville.

Obama administration brims with Trilateral Commission members…why should we care? Mad scientists run the world- part 2By Dawn Hoagland

Zbigniew Brzezinski is one of Obama’s key foreign policy advisors. He co-founded the Trilateral Commission (TC) in 1973, groomed Jimmy Carter for President in 1976, and helped in-stall Obama in 2009.

Jimmy Carter, a peanut farmer from Georgia, who said he didn’t know any-one inside the beltway, appointed eigh-teen TC members to his administra-tion, including Brzezinski.

“The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more con-trolled society. Such a society would be dominated by elite individuals, un-restrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost con-tinuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal in-formation about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous re-trieval by the authorities.” – Zbigniew Brzezinski, Between Two Ages, 1970.

Members of the Trilateral Commis-sion are present day ambassadors of Technocracy. They inhabit high-level positions within our government. My last article defined historic Technocra-cy as a popular movement in the 1930s which has become the inspiration for Sustainable Development, the Smart Grid, and the Common Core.

A technocratic world is one - in which politicians will be replaced by scientists and experts. Representative government will be replaced by a Sci-entific Dictatorship-- not a dictator, but

a system. This is happening without us noticing. Our congress is no longer re-sponsive to us and school boards no longer have control over curriculum, testing or even teacher evaluations.

Technocracy intends to replace capi-talism with an energy-based economy. The goal is to “decouple” economic growth from the environment. In other words they want to prevent economic development in order to “save the envi-ronment.” Industrialized nations must de-industrialize in order to stop using so much energy.

The Trilateral Commission is a pri-vate group of 300 selected individuals from North America, Europe and Asia, dedicated to creating a new economic world order. TC has been incremen-tally implementing the plans described in The Technocracy Study Course pub-lished in 1934 since they gained con-trol of the executive branch during the Carter administration.

In 2005, George Bush created the position of Director of National Intel-ligence, which was structured to over-see all seventeen national intelligence agencies. John Negroponte, a TC mem-ber, was appointed to this position and tasked by the president to set about re-organizing intelligence gathering in the U.S. The indiscriminate capture of our phone calls, emails and financial trans-actions became the focus of the NSA.

TC members populate Obama’s cabinet and the World Bank - They sit behind closed doors negotiating the

Trans Pacific Partnership trade agree-ments. Some of them are the same Trilateralists who negotiated NAFTA, Carla Hills and Robert Zoellick, for in-stance. Mexico now exports more cars to the U.S. than the U.S. exports to the entire world. Technocracy at work!

Within two weeks of his inauguration, Obama appointed eleven members of the Trilateral Commission to positions within his administration in charge of the economy, national security, and for-eign policy. There have been twelve U.S. Trade Representatives appointed since 1976. Nine of them are TC members. Some of Obama’s original Trilateral ap-pointees include:

• Secretary of Treasury, Tim Geithner • Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice

• National Security Advisor, Gen. James L. Jones

• Deputy National Security Advisor, Thomas Donilon

• Chairman, Economic Recovery Committee, Paul Volker

• Director of National Intelligence, Admiral Dennis C. Blair

Andrew Cuomo, is not a Trilateral Commission member but his father was a member of the Council on For-eign Relations (CFR) Many members of the CFR also populate the Trilateral Commission so that Mario found him-self rubbing shoulders with Bill Clinton, Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, Robert Zoellick, Alan Greenspan and Richard Haas (current head of CFR.).

Mario introduced his TC contacts to his son. Andrew sat on Bill Clinton’s President’s Council on Sustainable De-velopment back in 1993. Some of the U.S. Trilateralists would have been Andrew Cuomo’s working allies during those years continuing right up to the present.

This would explain why Governor Cuomo loves the Common Core even though New York parents have made it quite clear that we do not love the new standards, the high-stakes testing or the constant surveillance of our children.

Potentially 400 points of data have been or will be collected on everyone in NYS.

The Common Core is an essential part - of implementing technocracy be-cause the tests provide the excuse needed to collect data. The CC aligned materials indoctrinate our children to accept de-in-dustrialization to save the environment. Data will ultimately be used to make pre-dic tions about what we are likely to do but haven’t yet done. Only mad scientists can think this is a good idea.

Bill Gates unveiled Schools Interop-erability Framework (SIF) back in 1999. The lead company is Microsoft. The SIF3 website is hosted by Microsoft and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. The website features this statement: “SIF is the first, largest and most implemented open global standard for seamless, real time data transfer and usage.”

Remember that one of the require-ments of the Technocracy Study Course was the following: Provide specific reg-istration of the consumption of each in-dividual, plus a record and description of the individual. (Scott, Howard et al, Technocracy Study Course, P. 232)

Patrick Wood has been studying the members, position papers, goals and accomplishments of the Trilateral Commission since it was founded in 1973. Here is what he has to say now:

“They have already converted China and Europe into the early stages of Tech-nocracy. The United States is the only nation on earth that stands in their way of total domination….”-- Patrick Wood, http://www.augustforecast.com/

Humans are creative beings made in the image of God. Our unique motiva-tions and talents make us unpredictable. Read Technocracy Rising by Patrick Wood. Read it and weep for our country. Then call somebody and tell them about it. Maybe together we can figure out a way to reject Technocracy before it is too late.

Read Part 3 in our next edition.
