PROPERTY SEIZED FOR REDEVELOPMENT – NOTHING BUILT

Excerpts taken from The Weekly Standard

Michael Christofaro owned a home with his family in New London, Connecticut, near the Atlantic Coast, until the City of New London wanted it in 2005.

Nine years later, there is nothing on the vacant acreage owned by the city, where Christofaro, his family and neighbors once lived. 

Christofaro and five other residents in his neighborhood were embroiled in a legal battle in 2005, to save their homes from the city’s "eminent domain" seizure of their properties. The case ultimately went to the Supreme Court, but the residents lost the fight in a 5-4 ruling, which held that the city had the right to seize the properties of the plaintiffs for “economic development” and the better good.

Here we are in 2014, and the land is still vacant – desolate – and nothing at all has been built there by the City of New London. The development, which everyone in Christofaro's neighborhood lost their properties for, was supposed to create new jobs and increased revenue – zilch!

In the meantime, the lives of five families were ripped apart and their land and homes were taken from them in the name of “progress.” I wonder if that is the same kind of progress all of the "Progressives" are talking about, those like Barack Hussein Obama, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Eric Holder, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Rham Emanuel, foul mouths, etc, Socialists, Communists - same thing.

The Kelo v City of New London case, named after the chief plaintiff Susette Kelo, a nurse who owned one of the five homes involved in the seizure, caused nationwide outrage.

The Progressives? They could care less. The few of them are bulldozing many places throughout America in the name of "progress," because they have the money and “power" to do it, whether or not they follow through with their stated "plans for development."   

Anyone could be next. Under the auspice of Agenda 21, the Progressives plan to round up everyone into congested, high rise cities, into tiny apartments and no one, except for the Illuminati megabanksters, Bilderbergers and their cohorts, will be privileged to own a home, or stroll in a rural area, according to their plans. They plan to beautify those areas for themselves and make it off limits to everyone else. Agenda 21 outlines most rural areas as “no go zones."

Those who do such evil things are wicked, and unless they repent and make restitution, God will sorely judge them.

The Word of God tells us,

“If you sell something to your neighbor, or buy something from your neighbor’s hand, you shall not oppress one another. You shall not oppress one another, but fear your God, for I am the Lord your God” Leviticus 25:14-17.

The Bible has instructions for living this life and gaining eternal life.

“Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand, and they covet fields and take them by violence, and houses, and take them away, so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage” Micah 2:1-2.

“Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!” Zephaniah 3:1.

The Communists, Socialists, Liberals, Progressives - whatever you might like to call those who enjoy dictatorships and the oppression of others - do not allow themselves to conceive of the fact that they will not continue, as they are in this life, forever; but they will, in fact, stand before the judgment seat of God and He will judge them. All of the wicked, including these, will be cast into hell and they shall not escape forever (Mark 9:43-48), unless they repent and turn from evil in this life, while there is still time.

Job said,

“…the number of years is hidden to the oppressor” Job 15:20.

In other words, the pride of the ungodly doesn't allow him or her to think about their eternal destiny. This is the great folly of the wicked.

Jesus said,

“I will forewarn you whom you shall fear; fear Him, which after He has killed has the power to cast into hell; yes, I say unto you, fear Him” Luke 12:5.

Some people don't believe God could send anyone to hell. God is God, and His ways are above our ways (Isaiah 55:8). You can dispute what He said in His Holy Word now, and risk standing before Him in judgment, or take the safe path and believe what God said in His Holy Word right now.

Are you prepared to stand before God and give an account of the life you have lived on this earth? If not, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website. Your eternal destiny depends on it. God bless you.
