What Happened To Guymon After Economic Development Deals With Seaboard Farms and WalMart?

After Julianne has told Michael and Jenni about how the grift of economic development works, Michael tells Jenni and Julia about what happened to the town he grew up in - Guymon, Oklahoma - after the town created economic development deals with WalMart and Seaboard Farms. Small towns can't remain small towns when multinational corporations come in. Multinational corporations care about their bottom line - not about the health of the community. How would any town be bettered by shutting mom and pop enterprises out of competition with a multinational corporations? Town kids could grow up and work at businesses run by members of the community. Town money then stays in the town, promoting the town's values and not a large employer's.

The Grift Of Economic Development Explained - Julianne Romanello; ROPE Report SHORT

In this short video - edited from our full live video found here on our YouTube channel under 'live videos', or on our Rumble channel - Julianne talks with Michael Grande and Jenni White about how the grift of Economic Development actually works. 

In order to make a small town more worldly and willing to buy into the globalist ideals, an idea will be pitched that will be something that can change the ideas and mindset of town residents. For example; a town - like Chickasha, Oklahoma - which had a yearly Christmas display of lights that attracted people from many areas, the focus will change to a 'leg lamp' which is brought in to attract more people. 

The 'leg lamp' is the lamp from A Christmas Story. It's a many feet tall replica of the plastic, fish-net stocking covered leg with a lampshade that looks like a skirt. So, instead of having a Christ-centered display of lights acknowledging Christmas, the focus shifts to a lamp that makes people think of a racy woman like a prostitute or a call girl. 

Once the focus of values is changed and the town starts trying to meet the needs of outsiders, the focus of the businesses in the town start changing toward whatever is going to bring in visitors - like adopting 'green' standards to make sure 'big city' people will want to come. 

Once the town changes to a more green-centered, or outward-facing model, the entire mode of the town shifts to something else entirely - not focusing on residents and their needs anymore.

The Grift Of Economic Development; Making small towns corporate towns - Julianne Romanello

In this clip from our podcast of 8/14/24, Julianne talks about the real 'end game' for the grift of economic development. Does it really help create jobs? Yes, while it's simultaneously degenerating everything about the small town it claimed it would 'help'. 

As so many of us have learned subsequent to the plandemic, to everything there is a scheme. In the case of economic development, it's for the people at the top to get a pay check while plugging the 'have nots' into WalMart greeter type jobs as the mom and pop stores go away. In the end, the small town will falter only to be taken under the wings of the larger, greener, plugged in, tyrannical big city so that all can be funneled into the one world government model.

Land Grab Disguised As A Turnpike To Make The Rich Richer - PikeOffOTA; ROPE Report Short

This will be the most important video you've seen if you really want to know the way citizens are being tyrannized by Oklahoma's governmental bureaucracy. This video connects all the dots. Suffice it to say, 'the people' simply don't matter in the face of business interests that want to enrich themselves.

Friday, May 24th, ROPE Report hosted Whitney Mullica and Kelly Wilson of PikeOffOTA (Citizens For Responsible Transportation) to talk about how the Oklahoma Transportation Authority - the pseudogovernmental agency peopled with unelected bureaucrats unaccountable to the public - work with members of the business development community to develop tolled roads that, not only must the citizens of Oklahoma pay to use, but that removes their property from them using the force of the state to create.

Here, Kelly provides THE CIRCLE OF GOVERNMENT INTERESTS - the ways in which the rich just keep getting richer off the backs of those whose property is seized by eminent domain to create roads they'll be forced to pay to use.

Who Is Buying OTA Surplus Land? - PikeOffOTA; ROPE Report Short

Friday, May 24th, ROPE Report hosted Whitney Mullica and Kelly Wilson of PikeOffOTA (Citizens For Responsible Transportation) to talk about how the Oklahoma Transportation Authority - the pseudogovernmental agency peopled with unelected bureaucrats unaccountable to the public - work with members of the business development community to develop tolled roads that, not only must the citizens of Oklahoma pay to use, but that removes their property from them using the force of the state to create.

Here, Kelly shows that, while eminent domain is used to remove property owners from their property, the 'surplus' land 'left over' after the turnpike has been created, is then sold to the public. Many times, the purchasers of the land are people who benefitted in some way through the OTA turnpike process in the first place.

While this is not illegal, personally benefitting from the process of removing the property of a citizen using the force of the state is ethically and morally wrong. If people can't police themselves along moral and ethical lines, why is the state not protecting citizens by preventing this kind of behavior? Could it be that 'the state' would rather have the money afforded it by the rich and powerful - especially when it comes time to be re-elected?

10-15% Of OTA Eminent Doman Cases Go To Court - PikeOffOTA; ROPE Report Short

Friday, May 24th, ROPE Report hosted Whitney Mullica and Kelly Wilson of PikeOffOTA (Citizens For Responsible Transportation) to talk about how the Oklahoma Transportation Authority - the pseudogovernmental agency peopled with unelected bureaucrats unaccountable to the public - work with members of the business development community to develop tolled roads that, not only must the citizens of Oklahoma pay to use, but that removes their property from them using the force of the state to create. 

Though many people do eventually cut a deal with the OTA for the 'sale' of their house and property to the Authority, many people refuse. It does not matter, however, because the state kicks them off the property anyway only to wait - in some cases - over A YEAR to have the issue settled by the court. This is OUTRAGEOUS and citizens of Oklahoma simply shouldn't tolerate this kind of nonsense.

Economic Development Puts 'Community' Before Individual - Julianne Romanello; ROPE Report Short

Though we all want to be able to believe there is a job for us when we need/want one, economic development today has begun to put the needs of the 'community' above the needs of the individual. 

Often we hear economic developers talk about the importance of 'public investment' for private enterprises because these will have impacts for the community. 

Take, for example, the public, tax-dollar 'investment' that went into electric car manufacturer Canoo so that people in Pryor, OK, could have jobs. Yes, of course we want employed citizens - they contribute to those things the government SHOULD be funding, like roads (not busses or street cars) and public safety - and employed citizens often feel more fulfilled when they have jobs - but what happens when taxpayer dollars are used to help a private company provide jobs in an area of the state where taxed payers may not even live? 

This private company now has an advantage over the other private companies that did NOT receive government assistance and taxpayers lost part of the fruits of their labors to a community where they don't even live. 

This has to stop. Government should be protecting the rights of individuals, not the rights of companies, or communities - not even to provide jobs.

We're Moving Away From A Rights-Based Society - Julianne Romanello; ROPE Report Short

Wednesday morning (4.10.23), Julianne, Jenni and Michael talked about how American society is moving from a rights-based society - where the government protects our rights as described in the Constitution - to a values-based society - where the government is more interested in taxing the property of citizens to provide entertainment and establishing public/private partnerships to create jobs, than protecting our property and private businesses. 

Though Klaus Schwab never actually said, "You'll own nothing and be happy", the World Economic Forum (WEF) has stated enough of their goals for the "Great Reset" to make any genuine thinker nervous about that kind of idea. All one has to do is make note of a giant amusement park in little Vinita, Oklahoma, and the fact that people were displaced from their property (annexed) on little more than an estimation that the city will receive in excess of 70 million in tax revenue thanks to the park. 

Then consider the Oklahoma City MAPS tax that built a stadium (The Ford Center/Paycom Center) which is now no longer considered big enough so that Oklahoma City tax payers were propagandized into voting for yet another tax to build yet another new stadium. 

Isn't it the government's job to protect the 'fruits of our labor', so that we may use it how we see fit, not provide us endless entertainment opportunities that only enrich the owners while charging those who can, often, ill-afford the price of tickets? 

Isn't it the job of PRIVATE owners and developers to take on the risk - as well as the reward - of creating large entertainment/business projects? How did that become the taxpayers burden to bear? 

We must decide; do we want to own nothing (via excessive taxation) and be endlessly entertained, or do we want to privately own those things we have privately worked to own?

ROPE Report Short - Julianne Romanello; Why Workforce Training For Students Is Bad

ROPE Report Regular, Julianne Romanello, joined us to talk about Workforce Development and how that translates into funneling children into career paths that will parallel with the needs of businesses the state is courting to come into the state via economic development packages using our tax dollars. 

Essentially, the state gives tax breaks to certain businesses to come to the state. Then, Oklahoma Works, the state agency that connects, "Oklahoma's Workforce System", helps schools and technology centers create training programs for the jobs the courted businesses will need filled. 

So what's wrong with this? Children are propagandized into getting onto a job pathway as early as middle school. Students aren't educated for the sake of making them well-rounded people who can make choices about what they want to be when they grow up, they're put on a pathway to 'choose' the jobs the state most wants to keep for the sake of the economy. 

The emphasis is NOT on students, but on the economy.
