Kelo's Empty Lot
The lamestream media told you:
Government had to take Susette Kelo's home to build a mall and increase sales tax revenue. The Supreme Court said that's OK so it must be OK, even if it shocked the nation. End of story.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Susette Kelo and Jeff Benedict, authors of "Little Pink House: A True Story of Defiance and Courage," are making the rounds on interview shows (the "news" never got the memo). As you know, Susette's little pink house and the homes of her neighbors were seized and destroyed through phony eminent domain scams in a city landgrab sanctioned by the U.S. Supreme Court.
New London promised to put a glitzy new private development project on the land, but now, nearly four years after the ruling and $78 million in taxpayer money spent, literally nothing has been built on the land; it remains vacant, the neighborhood bulldozed.
You can help the Castle Coalition in its fight to end corrupt and disgusting eminent domain abuse by government "officials," all of whom should be drawn and quartered for turning the public trust into a revenue scheme: http://www.castlecoalition.org/join/
