Dusty Johnson now directly ties himself to the Council of State Governments globalist agenda

Not surprised to read this:

Dusty Johnson, Mitchell resident and chief of staff for Gov. Dennis Daugaard, is one of 48 state leaders from across the nation selected for the prestigious Toll Fellowship Program sponsored by The Council of State Governments.

The annual seminar is named in honor of Henry Toll, a Colorado senator who founded the council in 1933. The program seeks to develop the next generation of leaders from all three branches of state government.

This year’s program, Sept. 7-12 in Lexington, Ken., focuses on trends analysis, policy development, media and constituent relations, and leadership and institutional changes. The experience gives leaders perspectives they would not ordinarily obtain during the course of regular government service. The Council of State Governments covers the travel, lodging and meals of those selected for the program.

Johnson, who was nominated for the Toll Fellowship by Gov. Daugaard, was selected from a committee of state elected and appointed officials as one of the most promising leaders of state government.This year’s applicant pool included state leaders from all three branches and represented 41 states, two U.S. territories and two Canadian provinces.

Did you catch the two Canadian provinces? I have been warning Dusty and also District 20 during the last primary that the CSG is not exclusively American, but is an international entity. Here is more:

When the Spelman Fund, a Rockefeller family trust, funded the Council of State Governments (CSG) in 1934 -- a few years before the Rockefeller founding and funding of the Public Administration Clearing House at 1313 East 60^th Street in Chicago -- there began a concerted effort to influence and control the legislatures of the several states united under the constitution. Ultimately, the influence and control spread to nearly every elected office within the states, including -- but not limited to: Township Supervisors, county commissioners, Mayors, Legislators and Governors; from Police Chiefs to Sheriffs to Attorneys General. The CSG has formed nearly 60 adjunct Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO's) which sweep up like a vacuum newly elected officials - especially in the local and state governmental offices -- and proceed to indoctrinate them.

Some of the NGO's with which you should become familiar are:

• National Conference of State Legislators (NCSL)

• National Governors Association (NGA)

• National (and international) Association of Mayors

• National Association of County Commissioners

• National Association of Township Supervisors

• National (and International) Association of Chiefs of Police

• National Association of Attorneys General…

The list goes on. Keep in mind that all of these NGOs were created and are controlled by those who created and control the CSG. Also keep in mind that "he who pays the piper, calls the tune". The payers here are tax-exempt foundations, i.e., Rockefeller, Ford, Carnegie, and the hundreds of foundations created by the "big three" foundations.

So not only is the CSG international and indoctrinates local political figures, it is about power and money:

Most Governors (probably all) are elected by PAC money, contributions from foundations and multi-national corporations. He who pays the piper, calls the tune. They have been groomed for their positions as Governor after stints in other elected positions and proven themselves to be obedient traitors to America. These people do not read history, or they would know that after the world policymakers have used them, they will be shoved down the memory hole of oblivion by the same masters they served so well. The National Governors Association, an important adjunct of the Council of State Government -- and other Governors' associations -- feed them their instructions and the Governors in turn stuff the ordered actions down our throats.

If a Governor cannot coerce state legislators into passing a law he or she simply enacts the desired program by Executive Order. When it is a particularly dastardly Act such as WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT which is structuring the BEE HIVE for us WORKER BEES, legislators are let off the hook.

Daugaard is governor for $2.7 million worth of reasons. Sadly, South Dakota legislators are not courageous enough to stand up to the Governor's coercion. So they passed the Governor's workforce development plan and three Sioux Falls recruiting firms have a lawsuit running:

A $5 million contract that Gov. Dennis Daugaard’s office signed with a national employee recruiting firm earlier this year violates the state and U.S. constitutions as well as state and federal laws, according to a lawsuit filed this week in Pierre.

The lawsuit, brought by three Sioux Falls staffing companies, alleges that the governor’s office “lacked the constitutional authority to enter into a contract” that gave one company an exclusive franchise within private industry.

“Under the contract, the state not only channels private business to use Manpower, but also pays $49,000 a month for that privilege,” according to the complaint. “The inevitable effect is to competitively cripple employee recruiting firms within and without South Dakota who get no monthly operating subsidy and who are unable to compete with the fixed below-market pricing of the fee schedule.”

Daugaard announced his plan to hire Manpower during his State of the State address in January. His plan called for Manpower to recruit 1,000 skilled out-of-state workers in four areas: financial services, information technology, engineering and manufacturing. The Legislature eventually approved $5 million for the project, and the contract with Manpower became effective Monday.

But the contract is unfair to other recruiting firms, the lawsuit says. Employers are compelled to partner with Manpower to hire out-of-state workers in those high-demand areas.

The lawsuit alleges that the contract was illegal for a number of reasons:

■ The governor’s office didn’t have the authority to sign it;

■ the state constitution prohibits the state from granting a “special or exclusive franchise;”

■ the contract impedes on Congress’ authority to regulate interstate commerce;

■ and it violates state and federal antitrust laws by attempting to confer a “de facto monopoly” to Manpower.

And because the contract was to provide a service for the private sector and not the state, the lawsuit argues that the state broke competitive bidding laws.

Steve Sanford, the lawyer for the plaintiffs, said the Legislature has told the governor’s office to “go forth and be innovative” to create jobs and wealth in the state. “The question is, where is the boundary of power?” Sanford said. “We don’t think being innovative means you can anoint a private company to be the sole provider of services in a private, competitive market.”

And the report mentions Dusty Johnson's cronyism:

Eventually, six firms submitted proposals, including Manpower. Clinton Brown, a Manpower representative in Sioux Falls, submitted his firm’s letter of intent and worked with his corporate office to put together the proposal, he said.

Brown was in the same fraternity at the University of South Dakota as Daugaard’s chief of staff, Dusty Johnson. Johnson signed the Manpower contract on behalf of the state.

Johnson said Thursday that while he knows Brown, they aren’t close.

“I think Clint was a senior when I was a freshman,” Johnson said. “I certainly know Clint, but I know thousands of people across the state.”

So we have a taste of the 2004 Dave Kranz being a college buddy of Tom Daschle. I was on good terms wioth Dusty back then, but when I tried to warn him about the Council of State Governments and the National Governors Association, we no longer speak. 

Rapid City Journal uses SDGOP Establishment member Pat Powers to tarnish the conservative label

[UPDATE: Cory wants to give credit to Scott Ehrishman for getting this issue rolling.]

Today the Rapid City Journal has a report on what Cory Heidelberger began covering on May 7:

State Sen. Stan Adelstein is calling for an investigation into South Dakota Secretary of State Jason Gant's office over an employee who until last month was operating a business that sells campaign materials.

In a letter written Sunday for Attorney General Marty Jackley, the Rapid City Republican said he wants Gant and staffer Pat Powers investigated for impropriety, conflict of interest and possible illegal activity.

Gant said Monday he recognized that Powers' business could be a distraction and asked him to shut it down in May, which Gant said has been done, though he did not specify when. However, the business apparently closed after Powers did business with a senate candidate whom Gant endorsed.

Powers, who earns $65,000 a year as a state employee according to a state database, operated Dakota Campaign Store before joining Gant's staff. Gant said the company primarily sells political mailers. The website bearing its name was not operating Monday.

Gant said he was aware Powers was running the company while on his staff from January 2011 through May, but it was then he said people began questioning the business, and he told Powers to shutter it.

"I believe it had the potential to be a distraction. That is why I wanted it stopped," he said Monday. 

Adelstein said Powers would be the first to see campaign filings, giving him a competitive advantage. He questioned if Gant received money or discounted material from Powers' company and if Powers used state computers for business purposes.

“I am a senator, and I have a right to ask for an investigation," Adelstein said Monday, adding that the only evidence he has is circumstantial.

Gant said he had no involvement in Powers' business and received no benefits from it. He said political filings are posted online, so Powers  had only information that was available to the public.

"I have one of the most transparent offices in the state of South Dakota," Gant said. The policy in his office is for all staffers to refer media inquiries to him.

Gant's endorsement of liberal SDGOP Establishment member Val Rausch adds another twist:

In late May, Gant endorsed state Rep. Val Rausch in what turned out to be a losing bid for the state Senate, a move Adelstein said was inappropriate. Adelstein asked the attorney general to investigate whether campaign material used in that primary was purchased from the Dakota Campaign Store.

Rausch confirmed Monday that he bought mailers from Dakota Campaign Store in 2010 and for the June 5, 2012, primary election while Powers worked for Gant.

Rausch said all of his business dealings with Powers took place at Powers' home, not in Gant's office. He said it would be up to the attorney general to decide if there was a problem with Powers' business.

If South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley chooses not to launch an investigation, Adelstein said he would introduce a bill in the upcoming legislative session demanding one.

Perhaps there should be another investigation into the Governor's office use of a disconnected phone number to provide polling data to his SDGOP Establishment legislators during the last primary.

But what is really sad is how the media uses the action of these liberal power hungry Establishment Republicans to tarnish the liberal label:

Before he accepted a job in Gant's office, Powers had a conservative blog called South Dakota War College.

SDWC is a liberal SDGOP Establishment blog. Calling it conservative is the typical deceptive propaganda we hear out of these RINOs. And when true conservative Republicans are mentioned, all too often, we are labeled as "The Tea Party" in an effort to marginalize true conservatives who are standing up to the liberal big government establishments of both political parties. And then when the liberal Republicans use the same big government tactics that liberal Democrats use we get this:

“This is what happens when you have absolute partisans working in an elections office," Nesselhuf said.

Does Nesslhuf mean to say that if he won the race in 2010, the Secretary's office would not be partisan? BS!!

UPDATE: Now from Keloland:

Powers formerly ran a conservative blog.

As I posted earlier, Keloland turned a conservative controversy into a Tea Party controversy. Perhaps they will return the favor and turn this so-called conservative controversy into a "liberal SDGOP big government controversy". 

Did Joel Rosenthal turn the SDGOP into a Freemasonic lodge?

Before the primaries, Keloland ran a piece called the Conservative Controversy:

With only a few days left before South Dakota's primary, Republicans are finding that fellow Republicans may be their biggest roadblock to re-election.

Republicans are challenging each other in more than two dozen legislative districts in the House and the Senate and factions within the party are accusing current legislators of not being conservative enough.

It's not often when you hear members of the Republican Party calling out a Republican governor publicly, but that's exactly what happened when Representatives Manny Steele and Lora Hubbel criticized Governor Dennis Daugaard for picking favorites.

"Governor Daugaard as head of our party has inappropriately used this tactic and is totally out of line endorsing candidates," Steele said.

Hubbel is one of the current legislators who was not endorsed by the governor, but her opponent in next week's primary, Senator Deb Peters was.

At a press conference, Hubbel accused Peters of being anti pro-life, anti-gun and in support of the federal health care law known as 'Obamacare.’

However, Peters voted for the abortion ban back in 2006 and says she supports gun rights, and is against 'Obamacare.'

"I think you have a certain element in the party that just thinks you can't be Republican enough. If you don't agree with them 100 percent of the time you're not a Republican," Joel Rosenthal said.

Rosenthal was the chairman of the South Dakota Republican Party for twelve years and says he's never seen a Republican primary that's been so intense with so much name calling.

"I don't think it's healthy for the party to say either you agree with me or you're not a Republican," Rosenthal said.

But that's what is going on right now. Long time legislator Representative Gene Abdallah has faced some fierce attacks in the last few weeks as well, with fliers saying he is anti-gun even though he has an A+ rating from the National Rifle Association.

Add in the fact that the governor has endorsed five candidates who are being attacked for their conservative views and Rosenthal doesn't believe this is a good thing for the party.

"This is a political fight or an election about the differences between Republicans and Democrats. It shouldn't be Republicans fighting Republicans," Rosenthal said.

Rosenthal believes the fact that some in the party don't think others are voting conservative enough has led to so many Republican challengers rising up against incumbents for the primary.

"Unhappy elements that are out there recruiting people to take out people that some groups think are less than pure," Rosenthal said.

Hubbel made those feelings clear during the press conference when she called out fellow legislators.

"We have people in the Republican caucus who for years have been life-long Democrats knowing they can't get elected as a Democrat they just change that ‘D’ to an ‘R’ and get elected Republican," Hubbel said.

With the fierce campaigns, Rosenthal says he can see why the governor is endorsing candidates who he knows can collaborate well with others and get the job done in Pierre.

Republicans in the race say once the primary is over the party needs to put the hard feelings aside and focus on the November election.

"I think after June 5th we really do need to come together. There's more to South Dakota than the Republican in-fighting between the party platform," Peters said.

Then after some of the conservatives won, Keloland adds Allen Unruh to the discussion and conservatives all of a sudden became members of a "Tea Party" that could cost the Republican Party:

Tea Party candidates unseated a handful of Republican incumbents Tuesday night.

While this is the democratic process in motion, some fear the early division among the party could leave Republicans vulnerable in November.

Republicans incumbents Gene Abdallah, Tom Nelson and Val Rausch are three Republican lawmakers who lost in the primary to Tea Party candidates. A leader among the state's Tea Party says it means voters want to see change.

"We had a great victory in South Dakota for the people of South Dakota," Tea Party supporter Allen Unruh said.

The state's Republicans are not united in celebration though.  The former chairman of the state's Republican party says while negative campaigning proved effective for Tea Party candidates, it could be a hard sell for November's general election.

"The more hardened partisan guy won and now when you have to go before more independent voters and Democrats, if you have a more extreme candidate, you might not win the election. So you won the primary. You won the battle, but you didn't win the war," former South Dakota Republican Party Chairman Joel Rosenthal said.

When it comes to legislative seats in Pierre, Rosenthal worries a divided Republican party could be an opportunity for Democrats.

"I'm fearful that as a partisan Republican that the other team is going to make hay out of this a little bit. They are going to appeal to the broader voter," Rosenthal said.

So we have Keloland using Allen Unruh as a tool to convert conservative Republicans into Tea Party radicals with Joel Rosenthal, the architect of the SDGOP political machine that has a strangle hold on South Dakota in Pierre, using that label to call conservatives, who hold firmly to the Republican platform, radicals. Rosenthal is setting up the same scenario that occurred in 2006 when conservatives won primaries. Here is what Pat Powers said about Stan Adelstein:

When after your primary loss, you publicly and overtly float your own name as a running mate for the Democratic Candidate for Governor, there are some Republicans who will take that as a cue that you aren't a party supporter.

When you drop tens of thousands of dollars directly into Democratic races to defeat Republican candidates, there are some Republicans who will take that as a cue that you aren't a party supporter.

So why is Rosenthal throwing the principles of the Republican Party under the bus and painting those who fight hard for those conservative principles...radicals who can't win a general election? The answer can be found in his bio:

32nd degree Scottish Rite Mason

Here is the Masonic political philosophy:

In the same way that no candidate is rejected from admission into the Masonic order on denominational grounds, so no candidate is refused entry on account of his political beliefs. Because of this, many religious denominations and political parties are represented in the world Masonic membership. This is a healthy situation and Freemasons can feel proud that their organisation is, indeed, a fraternal fellowship which can bring together men with quite differing viewpoints in these two fundamental aspects of life. To quote from the Ancient Charges, Freemasonry is said to be able to represent "the centre of good men and true, and the happy means of conciliating friendship amongst those who must otherwise have remained at a perpetual distance".

But politics, as well as religion, are matters which can divide if enthusiasm and keenness are allowed to develop into fanaticism and permitted to override prudence and temperance. Therefore, it is wise and sensible that our order, in seeking to foster and maintain a spirit of harmony of the highest possible order, should proscribe discussion in such sensitive areas in our Masonic gatherings.

The founders of our order also deemed it vital that Freemasonry, as an organisation, should not seek formally to associate with any particular political entity or religious body. In the outside world, however, the position is different and, politically, brethren may espouse any political cause and may be members of and, indeed, very dedicated adherents of any political group which, to them, appears to offer the best and most equitable and effective means of facing up to and solving the various social and other problems besetting mankind.

So it appears that as chairman Rosenthal promoted a SDGOP that was open to differing viewpoints (liberal) and when those in the conservative base speak out we are developing "fanaticism" that will divide the party. And what will be the two sides? Conservative Republicans that follow the Republican principles with few exceptions versus the liberals who throw out those principles in order to be tolerant toward abortion supporters, gay rights, and socialism. And the media will help the RINOs paint the true Republicans as radical Tea Party members in order to mislead. Keloland is saying the a Tea Party defeated Republicans, when in reality it was true Republicans that defeated liberals who have taken over contol of the Republican Party.

But there is a twist. Check out other political groups that Freemason Rosenthal belonged to:

South Dakota Governor's Council of Economic Advisors

Board of Directors South Dakota Development Corporation

Board of Directors South Dakota Municipal League

Board of Directors South Dakota Chamber of Commerce

South Dakota Retailers Association

Conservatives need to understand that the Chamber of Commerce, the Economic Development Corporations, and the Governor's Economic Development board are not conservative, but instead socialistic organizations that use government to control the market place. So now you add crony capitalism (not to be confused with with a free competitive market void of corruption) to the Freemasonic brotherhood equation and we have real concern about what is really going on in this state where the SDGOP has complete dominance politically and also dominance in economic development through the force of government picking winners and losers (corruption). And clearly these tyrants also are trying to pick winners and losers in the primaries as was proven by Governor Daugaard and supported by Rosenthal.

But sadly most will not take this research seriously enough to verify what is really going on and instead do a knee-jerk reaction by saying that I am wearing a tin foil hat. Such is the case with SDWC RINO Kool-Aid drinker and simple minded BIll Clay who asks, "Does anybody really believe that the Dems will be more conservative than even moderate Repubs?" They are liberal Repubs who are not moderate, and yes, there are Dems who are more conservative. There are Dems who are pro-life, pro-gun, and they understand that the Country Club Republicans are out for power and money and will throw conservative limited government principles out the window in order to have their way.

And when you have Freemason Joel Rosenthal arguing that liberal Republicans are the only ones who can defeat liberal Democrats, then what difference is there among the candidates both parties put forward? Really, once you throw out the Romney Deception, what difference is there to Obama. And then you have the SDGOP RINOs implementing Obama's stimulus, ObamaCare, and now Obama's education policies. The current political system is set so that a liberal wins no matter what when liberal Republicans (RINOs are not moderates) are allowed to rule the day.

Yes it is time for conservative Republcians to boycott RINOs in the general elections. After all, guys like Adelstein and Rosenthal will boycott conservatives. In an all out war, one has to fight fire with fire.

Sibson vs Vehle, it is all about conservatism

The front page of today's Mitchell Daily Republic says it all:
