Unpublished Letter to Lincoln County News Calling for Transparency for JECD

Recently there was an article in the Boothbay Register about the secret society devising a master economic development plan for the Boothbay Region. There was a comment discussion about it in which I was involved. The discussion was deleted and comments were closed but I kept thinking further about the subject and so I submitted a letter to the Lincoln County News, The letter was not published and so I am posting it here. It is called propaganda when only one side of anything is allowed to be expressed. Maine has been oppressed by propaganda for a very long time, which is why I published by book, Public Private Relationships and the New Owners of the Means of Production. Thank You Internet for allowing another avenue of communication! UNPUBLISHED LETTER TO THE LINCOLN COUNTY NEWS Dear Editor and Community, I am an independent researcher. Many of you may know our family business Andersen Design. About seven years ago, I became involved in researching Maine's economic devel

The Maine Legislature's Official Support for Taiwan and the Trans-Pacific Trade Agreement

As a matter of reference, I am posting this statute passed by the Maine Legislature in 2013 and transmitted to President Ma Ying-jeou of Taiwan and to the Director-General of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Boston. The Taiwan Relations Act of the United States was signed into law in 1979 permitting "unofficial" relations between Taiwan and the USA: In addition to this provision, the TRA provides for the continuation of “unofficial” diplomatic ties between the two societies. Washington maintains an “unofficial” embassy in Taipei (the American Institute in Taiwan or AIT), while Taipei operates an “unofficial” embassy in Washington, D.C. (the Taiwan Economic and Cultural Representative Office or TECRO). Both sides also operate “unofficial” consulate offices. These entities manage travel documents, facilitate communication with local authorities, and represent their respective governments when negotiating commercial and other agreements Policy Brief Series: The Ta

Petition the Maine Technology Institute to Include Fiscal Sponsorship as a Function:

SIGN HERE! In the mid-seventies refundable tax credits came into use in the USA and were readily incorporated into Maine's economic development policy. When the Maine Capital Corporation was established, by the Maine Legislature, its charter provided for a 50% tax credit to attract investors and a provision making corporate small business companies tax-exempt. The two provisions make sense only if the tax credit is treated as a refundable tax credit, one in which if no taxes are owed, the tax payers owed the investors a 50% refund on their investment. In the 1970’s, under the leadership of Governor Longley’s board, made up of the CEO’s of Maine’s most prosperous business, the Legislature declared central management of the economy to be an essential government function, which must be done through public private relationships. In The Governor’s Task Force report of 1976 [1] the following justification supported the recommendation that two complimentary corporations be c

Angus King Back Room Deals

This posts analyses the statutes chartering the Maine Venture Fund and the Maine Technology Institute: This chapter from  Public Private Relationships and the New Owners of The Means of Production on is about the Angus King Years. It was a time when  Maine State Inc locked in its claims to intellectual property rights and the Legislature chartered two new corporations to further the transference of public wealth to private hands. ANGUS KING YEARS: BACK ROOM DEALS Under the leadership of Governor Angus King, the Legislature took control of Maine’s educational system partnering with a federal government program offering the ever-coveted federal dollars. The Department of Education was merged with the Department of Labor to train workers for the Legislature’s targeted sector. #8 of the Ten Planks of Communism. Equal liability of all to labor.
