WV1K: There's a grant for that. Hy-Line eases into making you finance their upgrades.

There's a grant for that. Hy-Line eases into making you finance their upgrades.

Hy-Line, which is owned by the Scudder millionaires, has decided it no longer opposes the Cape Wind turbine farm and instead wants to profit from the experience.

...persuaded the navigational and safety concerns have been addressed, the Scudders are whistling a different tune, harkening back to when Hy-Line was first founded 50 years ago ferrying tourists on sightseeing cruises to the Kennedy compound — ironically, the home of one of the most high-profile Cape Wind opponents.

The Scudders — who are not only putting their money where their mouths are but positioning their pockets to where the money will be — aren't the only business-minded folk to have a change of heart.

What is missing throughout the reporting of the Cape Cod Times is that any time a politician gets involved, it means there are grants to hand out, or there are going to be grants to hand out.

Plans for the joint venture include a new environmentally friendly visitors center; hybrid boats and shuttle buses; and a collaboration with Cape Cod Community College on curriculum for potential employees. The companies are working with the Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority to tie into the Cape's transportation system...

About a half-dozen politicians and other local officials also spoke.

Translation ? Hy-Line wants you to build them a new tourist center with CFL bulbs, expensive windows and buy them a grease powered bus or two that the National Seashore can then slap a advertisement on the back of saying they sponsored the bus.

U.S. Rep. William Keating, D-Mass., who was among the politicians to speak at Monday's press conference, said afterward that the agreement between Cape Wind and Hy-Line is only one of many positive economic ventures that could result from Cape Wind's construction.

Keating has recently pushed for Middleboro-based Mass Tank to locate a construction facility at the Quincy shipyard to build the monopiles that will hold up Cape Wind's turbines, he said.

"They could do business here and potentially do business overseas," he said.

Is there a grant for that ? Of course there is.

It's odd that even as the same Rupert Murdoch owned media outlet reports that these politicians nearly "had" to cut aid to disabled and elderly adults in yet another way, that they'd be talking about more hand-outs for more corporations out of the other side of the politicians' mouths. There's plenty of money for Lockheed, and Boeing and Merck that kills Phi Beta Kappas at 24, and Chertoff's body scanner company.

There's only cuts required in areas where the recipient can't shoot you, otherwise kill you, or search you without a warrant. There's only cuts required where the recipient can't speak or defend themselves against those cuts and the claims that there's no money.

Here's a clue. At minimum, there's no money because it's all going to Globalist con artist defense contractors who also have their hands in buses and light bulbs and ship building.

"The creation of this world-class tourist attraction will provide yet another great reason for people from all over Massachusetts, New England, the United States and the world to visit Cape Cod," Hy-Line vice president of operations David Scudder said during the press conference. The Scudder family owns and operates Hy-Line.

Now there's an opening statement on an application for a tourism grant and advertising grant. And of course the state will hawk this in any of its advertising, and so will the National Seashore. Any ads run in other countries will no doubt feature footage of the "world-class tourist attraction."

You'll pay for it. You'll pay another millionaire so they get the profits using your taxes.

The "Cape Wind Eco Tour and Visitor Center at Hy-Line Cruises" will start with one 149-passenger vessel but could eventually result in hundreds of jobs, according to Scudder.

Will that vessel be some newly built ship that runs on grease from Baxter's ? You just know you're going to fund half of that too.

It's a win for another corporation that will get to use taxes to update and build buildings which might have no major role or need in this plan. They'll get subsidized advertising, and a subsidized ship and a subsidized bus.

You can smell this one a mile away. It's another bridge to nowhere.

O puer, qui omnia nomini debes

This blog is written in the unvarnished truth by an Ottaviano. That's Octavianus, Octavian, Octavius, Octavia, Octavii... some intel nit wit keeps editing the commonly used Wikipedia as Google and Youtube delinks Ottaviano and Octavianus, etc, out of their abject fear of real history. Now they've shoved Cardinal Ottaviani who worked with the OSS and Martin S. Quigley to the back of the searches too. Their goal is to throw off any casual looker seeking to confirm this. It's not the politically correct nonsense of a Globalist publishing house with a post-WWII agenda of anti-Roman, anti-Italian, and anti-Goyim lies.

I graduated Phi Beta Kappa with Honors in History from Trinity College and needed only a second thesis or exam to get the B.A. in Political Science or International Relations. I was oddly told that they were "redundant" even though many now get both. I then refused to become a sock puppet like others are, and was maimed on purpose to a near heart transplant, nerve damage, and internal bleeding by a bunch of Globalist government paranoids acting through Merck. Their Germanic and Jewish ancestors rioted against my family in Rome with this purpose, assassinated lawful Emperors and defiled the Mausoleum of Augustus in Rome. Stop believing what you were conditioned to think out of post WWII guilt. Nero didn't burn Rome; the fiddle they now say he played wasn't invented until the 16th century, and Nero was assassinated by their ancestors ending our rule. An unlawful coup took hold in 476 and continues unchallenged.

After all of that, on 31 May 2008, my 62 year old father dropped dead in front of me as two fighters hundreds of miles from their base flew over. Connecticut politicians Richard Blumenthal, Joe Courtney and my father's student Susan Bysiewicz held up both the ambulance and AED which should have been 1000 feet away for their own paranoid protection. That left my mother with $62 a month and no pension. You bet it was retaliation by the people who maimed me that I now attack, but hadn't uttered a word about until after that.

I'm also a ham radio operator, but most of the new hams are incompetent un-opinionated fake emergency responder mush mouths since they dropped the IQ test.

Benjamin Disraeli

"There is in Italy a power which we seldom mention in this House ... I mean the secret societies.... It is useless to deny, because it is impossible to conceal, that a great part of Europe--the whole of Italy and France and a great portion of Germany, to say nothing of other countries--is covered with a network of these secret societies, just as the superficies of the earth is now being covered with railroads. And what are their objects? They do not attempt to conceal them. They do not want constitutional government; they do not want ameliorated institutions ... they want to change the tenure of land, to drive out the present owners of the soil and to put an end to ecclesiastical establishments. Some of them may go further...."

in the House of Commons, July 14, 1856

Nicolo Machiavelli

"Upon this a question arises: whether it be better to be loved than feared or feared than loved? It may be answered that one should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, is much safer to be feared than loved, when, of the two, either must be dispensed with. Because this is to be asserted in general of men, that they are ungrateful, fickle, false, cowardly, covetous, and as long as you succeed they are yours entirely; they will offer you their blood, property, life and children, as is said above, when the need is far distant; but when it approaches they turn against you."

John Locke

"but where no such appeal is, as in the state of nature, for want of positive laws, and judges with authority to appeal to, the state of war once begun, continues, with a right to the innocent party to destroy the other whenever he can, until the aggressor offers peace, and desires reconciliation on such terms as may repair any wrongs he has already done, and secure the innocent for the future; nay, where an appeal to the law, and constituted judges, lies open, but the remedy is denied by a manifest perverting of justice, and a barefaced wresting of the laws to protect or indemnify the violence or injuries of some men, or party of men, there it is hard to imagine any thing but a state of war: for wherever violence is used, and injury done, though by hands appointed to administer justice, it is still violence and injury, however coloured with the name, pretences, or forms of law, the end whereof being to protect and redress the innocent, by an unbiassed application of it, to all who are under it; wherever that is not bona fide done, war is made upon the sufferers, who having no appeal on earth to right them, they are left to the only remedy in such cases, an appeal to heaven."

The "innovative" electric car

MR. MAXIM," asked New Haven Carriage-Maker William Hooker Atwood in 1896, "do you want this carriage to look like a Western buggy-maker's job or do you want it to be a gentleman's carriage?" Answered Hiram Percy Maxim, builder of the Mark I Electric Phaeton: "Like a gentleman's carriage, Mr. Atwood." For almost half a century, the U.S. automobile was indeed a "gentleman's carriage," built for men and bought on the basis of its mechanical excellence, not its sculptured lines or pleasing colors.
