In my little village in Hawaii, the Library is a social gathering place, and the sole source of information on many things for many people. It is always loaded with people of all age groups, and serves as a focal point for improptu social gatherings.
The Patriot Act definately put a chill on the local library. Many librarians were distrurbed by the new requirements on reporting what people were reading. The result was that the Library Purged many controversial books. Meaning, they gave them away, to people in order to pre-empt reporting on people. One of these books was "The Dark Side of Paradise", which outlines in no uncertain terms the cause of Hawaii being the most Militarized state in the Nation. Complete with Nuclear stockpiles and major significance, along with detailed proof from publicly available sources.
It opened my eyes to the Military landgrab tin Hawaii that is disgquised as a Tourist mecca. It also described in specific terms the Wholesale media collusion with the Military Public Relations teams that paint a rosy picture for the public, as well as the Political Influence purchased by the MIC in Hawaii.
Sen Inouye and Akaka are wholly own MIC yes men, constantly harvesting pork for the military, in a continual buildup of capability.
The Superferry fiasco was the most recent debacles regarding John F. Lehman of a military operation disguised as a Civilian enterprise on record. They even got the state to spend Millions on the Superferry, and got Lingle to waive environmnetal laws on the books for 30 years to enable this thing. All to support the new Stryker brigade, and enable cheap transport to an from Oahu to the newly expanded (150,000 acres) of Pohakuloa Military base on the Big Island.
The libraries are key in informing the Public of Environmental Assessment Reports, Public Announcements, etc, etc, as nobody in their right mind would subscribe to the local newspapers that are focused on advertisements and have very little local news.
It looks like the Library attrition continues as scheduled. And you can thank OBAMA for this. Trillions for Wall street, while the States cut back on everything due to falling tax revenue that is just beginning. They haven't even scratched the surface on re-assessment. Either Obama is too stupids to notice, or he is part of the problem.
With his deep affection for the DLC, the Federal Reserve, Monsanto, and the Health "Maintenance" Corporations, I consider him part of the problem, and a Lame Duck.
I am truly saddened and amazed that he could reveal his true nature so quickly.
