Politburo - White Citizens Council Hold Hugfest Meeting

Hey, Yupette,

I attended the County Board's annual organizational meeting last night, followed by the County Board's work session with the Arlington Civic Federation, aka White Citizens Council. Can you spell C-H-A-R-A-D-E-S ?

County Board members spouted the usual drivel about the need for transparency, openness, fiscal responsibility, etc., after spending 2017 approving exorbitantly expensive programs and projects and secret deals (like the $1 billion corporate welfare package for Amazon). Current prohibition against citizens removing extravagant programs and projects from the consent agenda will remain. First Yupette Katie Cristol was elevated to Chair of the Politburo. First Yuppie Christian Dorsey was elevated to Vice-Chair.

What stood out from the drivel was the County Board's total commitment to its New Urbanism/Smart Growth ideology/addiction/belief system/religion and the concomitant increase of Arlington's population by 70,000 in 22 years (2040). That's why the County Board has to embrace the CivFed like Kim Jong Un embraces Dennis Rodman.

As for the CivFed, it's become less inclusive and diverse over the past several years and much like the White Citizens Council it was 100 years ago. Both the CivFed and County Board are committed to excluding non-upscale, non-trendy people from the County. Looking around the County Board Room last night it was hard to find a minority-group member who wasn't County Staff.

As usual the police were sitting in the Board Room on the lookout for "troublemakers" who the Regime's enforcers have told not to attend meetings, while County's bloated PR bureaucracy makes videos telling citizens to come to meetings. LOL. Police are also on the lookout for non-trendy homeless who have been banned from the County's Taj Mahal homeless shelter.

So look for more of the same, and worse, from the County Board this year.

Time for Christian Dorsey and Katie Cristol to move back to New Jersey where they're desperately needed - he on the Atlantic City City Council and she as President of MOPA (Mothers Of the Princeton Area).

Anyone doubt Katie, Christian, and Erik will use their time on the County Board to get rich, like their mentor Gourmet Jay?

Anyone doubt they're going to try to cram 70,000 more residents into about 12 square miles of this tiny county over the next 20 years?

Look, they're projecting photos of Chris Zimmerman and Jay Fisette on the AV screen before meetings.

Anyone doubt that the CivFed / Civic Associations are more groups of County Board enablers?

Agree. Last night's joint meeting can only be understood in the context that the County will have to become a half-baked dictatorship / police state for the Regime to be able to impose massive urbanization on residents, including the 1/3 of residents who vote Independent.

I agree that not only should Christian Dorsey and Katie Cristol not be Vice-Chair and Chair but they shouldn't even be on the County Board. All they've done is vote to give away increasing amounts of "payola" to soccer mommies, WMATA, and a dozen other pet special interests, while pontificating at length about their own interests.

They could never impose massive infill urbanization on the County if it weren't for the greedy Media always looking for more ad revenue.

CivFed wants the County to pay its insurance premiums in return for rubber stamping Smart Growth plans that may negatively impact neighborhoods to the extent the County and CivFed are sued by neighbors. CivFed should become a club, 'cause it sure doesn't represent me and my neighbors in 22201. In fact civic association presidents routinely threaten neighborhood residents with arrest if they attend civic association meetings. The police have to know about that, because it's so pervasive and has been occurring for years, if not decades.

Greedy Media? I no longer visit InsideNova because of numerous screen freezes from massive spam advertising. We really need a non-profit to set up a Web site with links to news from various local governments and non-profits like schools.

What's the difference between County Board and CivFed meetings in 1968 and today? None. Same number of token minority group members are allowed to participate.

Homeless and anyone else who looks grungy are banned from 2100 Clarendon Blvd., not just from C.B. meetings.

Why do I have to pay taxes to buy insurance for a non-profit like the CivFed that's so racist and elitist, where if insurance is provided by the County the CivFed will likely engage in behavior that threatens the property values of our neighborhood, which is another older comfortable suburban neighborhood in the crosshairs of "Smart Growth"?

In fact the CivFed was begun in 1916 as the result of the film "Birth of a Nation" and the resurgence of the KKK. CivFed's early newsletters and correspondence were deliberately destroyed decades ago during the civil rights era because they were so embarrassing.

Arlington Police Department is deliberately kept under-strength and under-paid. Consequently, Arlington cops don't give a $#!+ except for the cowboy cops on patrol, and most of them want to get a couple years experience and transfer elsewhere where they aren't overwhelmed by the number of complaints called by too many people living in too little space. Same for fire and EMS, which needed 4 more engine and 4 more EMS units 5 years ago.
