Irvine Panhandling for Great Pork Dollars




Out of desperation The City of Irvine is now paying some firm to do research on how to get grants for The Great Pork. The kind of "grants" they have in mind include how much they can steal from the taxpayers. It will only be a matter of time before Irvine gets in line for federal bailout money.

Here is some FREE advice for park funding. (No need to pay my firm half a million.) Irvine should simply contact the folks at Los Angeles World Airport Authority and offer to lease 2300 acres of El Toro for $2 billion. That is exactly what LAWA offered the Navy for El Toro back in 2003. This mutually beneficial arrangement would help pay for the park without soaking the taxpayers. Airport revenues would provide park financing, not to mention low fares, and thousands of jobs.

Besides Irvine begging for park money, the County Supes also find they do not have enough revenue to finance their own parks. Most especially agitated over this was RINO and union lackey Bill Campbell.

Mr. Campbell here are some suggestions. First, lay off all those donuts and pass on the cost savings on to your district. Next, change your myopic stance on El Toro and vote to re-open it so that the county can have low fares, jobs, and convenience.

What's stopping the possibility of re-opening El Toro? For some NIMBYs and politicians they just cannot bring themselves to admitting they were wrong about the airport. That is OK, they were ignorant and did not know any better. That is why we are here to enlighten people and show them the truth about El Toro. Once they know the truth, it will set them free.

Great Park boosters of Irvine know they made a mistake, so now they must swallow their pride and open El Toro International Airport over the objections of a handful of diehard NIMBYs, BANANAs and panhandlers. Any money wasted on a park deserves to be lost since the airport already is built. Grant procurement is a cottage industry for losers. All the old guard has to do is admit a mistake was made and call in our saviour, Los Angeles to run this jumbo jet airport for the people.

Nice picture Vern, did Donald take it? I would rank you among the elite of the bums, no doubt.

The smartest move now would be to bring back the military. Let's not forget how much money the military brought to Irvine's coffers not to mention over 900 civilian jobs to the area.

Oh yeah, that's exactly what the Marine's want to do now is move again. Not going to happen, although I do agree that they never should have moved in the first place. They wanted out of Tustin because of the expense of maintaining the blimp hangers, but there was plenty of room to move the helicopters El Toro and Pendleton.

Yes, please bring the Marines back to El Toro. As they were firmly on record as opposing joint military/commercial use, Donald and Vern could finally return to what they do best, gay bashing and whining about living next to the Duke.

The Marines want to share their airport. They were firmly on record of favoring joint military/civilian use. Just think of what happened in Bombay. The Guard was way up in Delhi. We need them here at El Toro. Send in the Marines.

538, you are a blatant liar! The Marines were continuously on record as saying no way to sharing MCAS El Toro. They have been likewise against sharing Miramar with the airlines. The subject came up over and over again about sharing the runways at El Toro with the airlines and the Marines always said no way, that it would interfere with their training mission.

Next time, get your facts correct before you spout our bold faced lies.

551, what a revisionist you are. The Marines were on record of supporting joint military/civilian use of El Toro after you had issued your broken BRAC eviction notice. Civilian cargo jets would have been flying in and out of there before the closure if you hadn't threatened a lawsuit to stop it. Remember this, revisionist, the big lie can not work, unless you have a monopoly, and on this website you don't have one. Turn on the lights, Vernon.

Anonymous said...

Donald; The Big Lie was the invention of NIMBY Beach, and you still consider it your greatest ally, as noted on this blog. You are semi-correct, cargo flights were to start AFTER the Marine left town. They were opposed to joint use while EL Toro was an active base. I would love nothing better than to see the Marines return to ET, but unlike you I can separate wishful thinking from rrality. And the only two realities I can grasp are 1.) El Toro is now the Great Park and 2.) JWA 24/7 is comign soon.

Enjoy YOUR revisionist history, NIMBY Donald. And BTW, seeing watching Smith, Coad and Silva having their heads handed to them over cargo flights will remain one of the highlights of the El Toro battle. You should have bought smarter stooges.

Turn out the lights Vern, the Marines ain't coming home, and neither are the airplanes.

Anti-El Toro International Airport NIMBYs haven't learned a thing from recent and past events. Silly lawsuits do not solve critical airport problems. Cargo flights would have been flying in and out of the airport before the Marines left if you hadn't threatened a lawsuit. The Marines wanted the flights, and you didn't. Education is important to victory just as the demise of Measures F and W and the comeuppance of Libby Cowan are. Turn on the lights, Vernon. The Great Park never will be built. El Toro International Airport is ready to go. Send in the Marines and the airplanes.

Anonymous said...

Once again, 435, your lies are pathetic. The Marines didn't "want" the cargo flights, they agreed to them. There difference between agreeing to limited cargo flights at a base that is closing and shared facilities, which the Marine's were always against.

I just love how you continue to revise history.

Also, Measure W stands today so how is there a demise? More fantasy from NIMBY land.

Anonymous said...

The Marines wanted the cargo flights and you didn't. The Marines wanted the Flight Demonstration Tests and you didn't. As you know we had them and the airport was proved safe, needed, and noiseless. Don't try your big lie where you can be answered. Turn on the lights, Vernon. Measure W is totally obsolete. It was a county initiative and the property now has been annexed to Irvine. Turn on the lights, Larry. Measure W no longer stands unless the property is de-annexed. Maybe that's a good idea. Turn on the lights, Larry, Vernon and Los Angeles. I'm ready for my redeye.

Poor NIMBY crybaby wants a red eye but got a black eye cause El Toro will never fly anything ever again except some birds and a big orange balloon. If you quit crying maybe your mommy will let you ride the balloon, otherwise shut the hell up cause the airport issue is DOA!

Anonymous said...

Donald, once again you have never let FACTS stand in the way of your incessant whining and crying. There were no cargo flights because the State Lands Commission and Cruz Bustamante say "No way" too your Three Stooges supervisors. Maybe Cruz hates NIMBY Beach too? BTW, that decison came in December 1999, a full year after the base officailly closed. The Marines were out of the picture by then, so there was never any such thing as "joint use" to be considered.

Didn't you take any notes while all this was going on, or is it just easier to make up the "facts" as you go?

The airports dead, Donald, pick something new to rant and blather about.

Anonymous said...

Ha, ha, ha. The Marines wanted joint use of El Toro for cargo flights after their eviction was announced by the broken BRAC decision. You were wrong. I was correct. You threatened to sue the Marines if they allowed the flights to go forward. Now, you're mixing up State Lands Commission retrocession, which allowed Orange County to police the base, rather than the marshal. That was another of your delaying tactics, but eventually we got full retrocession. Try something else to impune our fine Marines that wanted to start cargo flights at El Toro before they left the base. Your notes have lapses in purpose and judgement. But keep trying with your lies. It helps to open the airport.

Anonymous said...

No, you weren't correct. The Marines didn't "want" joint use. Most of their aircraft had moved to Miramar and they agreed to joint use as most of their operations were gone.

Nice spin by the lunatic fringe airport spin doctors.

The facts are no roadblocks in Donald's airport fantasies. And if he doesn't like the facts he just makes up his own. Any surprise NIMBY Beach lost the battle?

flyingmythbuster said...

719 Your spin is disingenuous by half. Unfortunately you said they didn't and did in the same sentence. This is called dissembling; it is the mark of the liar.

The truth is that the camp commandants knew that they were politically marked for closure but to them that would give them a huge and expensive headache so they floated the joint use idea, during the BRAC process, to prevent a move to the cramped Miramar. In fact the cramped Miramar caused many of the expensively trained technical staff into the welcoming civilian market for their skills. This caused a revolving door until the housing problem was solved at great expense.

Clearly, the cost estimates for the move were a fraud as they were identical in detail to the Hawaii NAS. That means that somebody in either the DoD or the Navy department told the author to commit fraud. Even though the tanker scandal that sent Darlene Druyun to the slammer did not cost the Air Force very much money; a fraudster is walking around in the Navy department that created costs of at least $4 billion in dead costs.

As it turned out the move cost the Marines at least $2 billion, another $2 billion to the Navy for their Miramar move plus countless hundreds of millions for all the musical base moves that occurred downstream of that.

Just to show how the left is warped on the integrity question I ran across this about Nancy Pelosi.

Pelosi Blaming McCain For Uncovering Boeing Scandal.

How warped is that?

Just like that other Scion of the left, Frederico Pena: "Valujet is a safe airline."

Thank god for flyingmythbuster to set the record straight on El Toro, cargo flights, and fraud. I believe that's what eltoronow is trying to get going. They want an investigation into the broken BRAC process and the foolish relocation of Marines to Miramar causing evictions from that base and a shortage of housing, which El Toro had, that disrupted the San Diego housing market. Clearly we need to get to the bottom of the El Toro closure scam so we can get that airport open for civilian commercial traffic. Thank you, flyingmythbuster for showing up. Turn on the lights, Vernon. We need to open the airport, uncover the scam, and bring justice to where it belongs. P.S. It's nice to know our spin is working so well with the anti-El Toro International Airport NIMBYs.

flyingmythbuster,

Thanks for your input. You seem to be one of the few on this site that is honest with the facts. The Marine's are on record as early as the 60's as opposing joint use of El Toro while it was an active base. The issue of joint use came up over and over again and the Marine's constantly said no way, that it would interfere with their training mission. Your reasoning for allowing cargo flights late in the game makes sense.

We all know the decision to close El Toro was bogus, however the Marine brass was concerned that many of the troops could no longer afford to live in Orange County and were commuting from the inland empire. This was also of concern to their mission. Now before 1148 jumps on that and says I'm full of crap, that was told to me by General Fraterangelo (sp) in one of a few meetings I had with him before the base closed.

It was also pointed out to me by the Marine brass that, even though tons of money was poured into Tustin shortly before it closed, the Marine's were eager to get out of that base as maintenance on the blimp hangers was bleeding them dry. They tried for years to tear them down, but once they were made historical landmarks they couldn't. They even offered to maintain one if they could tear the other one down.

I would love to know where you get all your information as I find it very interesting. Also, why pursue the broken closing of El Toro now? The Marine's aren't coming back so other than point a few fingers, what do you hope to gain? Just curious.

The bottom line is that no matter what facts you may find regarding the closing of the base, the voting public has spoken and El Toro will never be an active airport again. It's a poor location for a commercial airport and there are too many houses too close to it. It may never be a Great Park, but it will certainly never be an airport.

Keep up your honest facts, Vern needs to see the light and it's not at El Toro.

Oh, and I didn't say did and didn't in a sentence together, I'm no liar.

Well, well, there's another pack of lies from an anti-El Toro International Airport NIMBY. As pointed out by flyingmythbuster, 719 and probably 808, is a great dissembler when trapped with a lie that the Marine's did not want joint use of El Toro. And one lie leads to another. But why refute them one by one? We know him for what he is, basically unreliable, loose with the truth, anxious to displease and consistent on only one point. He is against the perfect El Toro International Airport. Miramar did not have housing. El Toro did. Marines were not commuting from the inland empire. They simply lived on the base, which they could not do at Miramar. At San Diego they got a housing credit off base. More waste. If I were you 719 & 808 I wouldn't snoop around for the source of flyingmythbuster's facts. I'm sure he will come forward at the inquisition, when John McCain sends more corrupt people off to jail again. But the overwhelming positive about the vacant El Toro International Airport is that it is now run by Irvine. The voters have spoken, and it is ready for 24/7 civilian commercial airplanes, and clearly we need to open it, because this is where the passengers live, and nobody, absolutely nobody, is in the noise zone. Turn on the lights, Vernon. 808 wants to continue dissembling and lieing. That helps to open El Toro International Airport.

Excuse me, 532, but once again you seem to have your head stuck in a cavity. I don't remember seeing you in the room with Major General Fraterangelo with I interview him three times and he told me about the problems of Marine's having to live in Riverside. Perhaps if you were there and your hearing aids were turned on you would have caught that part of the conversation. Likewise General Drax Williams said the same thing when I interviewed him. But again, you were absent. Probably out spending daddy's money.

Do your homework, as far back as the late 60's/early 70's, every time the subject of joint use of El Toro came up, the Marine's steadfastly said "hell no". Look it up, it's on the record. Of course if you did then that would make you the liar and we wouldn't want that, now would we?

You are correct on one point, the voters have indeed spoken. A resounding no to an airport at El Toro. Not now, not ever. Can't you figure that one out? No, because your head is stuck, well, you know.

Idiot!

541 likes to brag about his interviews with generals. I wouldn't do that if I were you. Other people talked to generals too and they never talked about marines living in Riverside, with all that base housing available at El Toro.

Your proclamation about tail winds is obsolete. There isn't a high speed jet that can't take off on that long runway. Your rule was established for olden days when planes were biplanes like the Wright flyer. It's either a tail wind or a cross wind at El Toro. But many airports do not have cross runways. No. 3. It's hardly a mass polluter if everybody else does it but you don't. We need the carbon dioxide to be green. No. 4. Now you're changing the subject. No one is in the noise zone at El Toro International Airport. If you're bothered by it your're really unique. How about the millions of people bothered by other airports? Turn on the lights, Vernon.

The world is lining up against me? Where? The majority in Orange County are still against the airport and you know it. Nice lie, liar!

If my proclamation about tail winds is obsolete then why do ALL airports have their planes take off INTO the wind? You're full of crap and lies. There are currently NO high speed planes in the commercial inventory. They went away with the Concord. Most airliners take off at around 120 to 160 knots, not exactly high speed. Yes, the military fighters with super powerful engines and after burners could take off with a tail wind, but ALL of the transports and tankers that ever took off from El Toro, as with virtually all airports, INTO the wind. Do some homework, you fool. Even helicopters prefer to take off into the wind. Don't try to confuse cross wind take offs and landings with tail winds. They are completely different.

I laughed and laughed about 757's trama over tailwind takeoffs and his proclamation that only military jets and supersonic concords were fast enough to take off with a tail wind. I say forget about the days of the Wright Flyer biplanes. Today there isn't a commercial jet airplane that can't take off with a little tail wind. There is no confusion with cross wind takeoffs. El Toro has fuel-efficient cross runways so crosswind takeoffs are not a problem. The problem is at airports such as LAX and Ontario which do not have cross runways, and they must use crosswind takeoffs whenever the wind does not line up with the runways. This doesn't happen at El Toro. Indeed El Toro is in a calm valley with no wind at all. That's why El Toro International Airport is unique and will change all the old folklore about air traffic control in our area. Turn on the lights, Vernon.

Now that flyingmythbuster has flunked the El Toro NIMBYs, maybe they can tell me whether Carbon Monoxide is a greenhouse gas. We know that water vapor and carbon dioxide are greenhouse gases, with water vapor being the greatest. Carbon dioxide is an insignificant .03% of the atmosphere, but it is essential for plants to make the planet green. Thus a green planet requires lots of carbon dioxide else the planet becomes brown. Ever notice how the grass is greener by the airports? Airports make the planet green. Environmentalists make the planet brown. Turn on the lights, Vernon. We need to open the green El Toro International Airport to restore south county to its bucolic condition. That's enough remedial science for the NIMBYs for now.

Donald, according to your letter in the 12/19 Daily Pilot, You opine, "Then the cities most damaged by the airplanes could finally decide what to do about it. It makes no sense to allow the county to harm our cities with a polluting airport in the middle of an urban area."

Please explain to all of us high school science dummies how JWA is a dirty polluting airport, yet by moving those very same airplanes 15 miles down the road their exhaust will suddenly "green" and as sweet as a baby's breath.

Why don't you write a letter to the editor of the Daily Pilot, 215, asking about pollution transfer to El Toro. I don't think Donald Nyre mentioned El Toro. That was you that brought that up.

Vernon Delights said...

Here we go again......

Arguing about which way to take off is getting really old. How about we just take off and land period! I will leave it up to the air traffic controller and pilot to decide.

Most of those who whine about El Toro taking off with tailwind would still OPPOSE El Toro no matter what, even if jets did take off into tailwind. They are simply raising a Red Herring in the meantime!

Either you support El Toro or you have been brainwashed into irrationally fearing it. Do not talk about flight direction and tail wind unless you actually support the airport. I personally do not care which direction the jets go, I just want them to go period!

Anonymous said...

So the jets at JWA are filthy pollution machines, but if moved to El Toro will be a breath of mountain air, the noise from jets at JWA is deafening but they will no make a sound if moved to El Toro. Absolutely amazing, El Toro must be some sort of magical land where all the evils of JWA airport suddenly disappear.

Keep up that spin doctoring Donald, it plays well with the NIMBY Beach whiners but no one outside of that noise zone believes a single word of your fantasy crap. Hope Santa arrives in a 747 right over your house.

Here he is, back again, during the Christmas season, spewing his filth, hate and class warfare against Newport Beach. Yes, El Toro is some sort of magical land where all the evils of John Wayne Airport suddenly disappear. Do not talk about flight directions, runway length, and tailwinds unless you support El Toro. John Wayne Airport has crosswinds all the time when the winds do not line up with that dinky runway. But El Toro has jumbo jet cross runways so crosswinds and tailwinds are no problem. Turn on the lights, Vernon. El Toro International Airport will make south county green again, and it is safe, wanted, and needed, and, it is FAA approved for 4 million annual passengers with the ability to squeeze in 4 times that much without as much as lifting a shovel of dirt.

El Toro is approved as a green, friendly park that may see 4 million visitors a year. The OC airport is conveniently located right next to NIMBY Beach, exactly where is should be, so the self proclaimed "elite" can hop a red eye to anywhere as soon The Duke goes 24/7.

The voter approved the park, Donald. The FAA doesn't have a dog in this race. And we all can understand the difference between a filthy, noisy 24/7 LAX South and a bucolic Great Park for all of the OC to enjoy peace and quiet. The great and fatal flaw in the NIMBY Beach El Toro strategy was that you all assumed everyone else was as dumb as you are to live next to an airport and suddenly realize it's noisy and dirty. The Bigger Fool Theory didn't work to well, did it??

JWA 24/7, the FAA will approve that one in an instant.

Oh for God's sake, 556, for once get something right. March Air Force Base was certainly not a mere Air Force Base. It was a SAC base. Now I know you probably have no clue what SAC was so here you go, a little knowledge that will be wasted on you as you'll probably just lose it in the bottom of a gin bottle. SAC was the Strategic Air Command. At the end of the cold war and the disbanding of SAC, March became a reserve base for Tankers. It is now known as Tanker Town.

612 and 803, your really need to stop posting when your drunk, your prose makes little sense. But once again you are wrong, JWA or SNA as it is officially known, was Eddie Martin airport long before it was Santa Ana Army Air Field. Also, SNA has accommodated POTUS, Nixon flew in once back in the day. That was when Air Force One was a Boeing VC-135 and not the current Boeing VC-25A.

And yes, El Toro had tankers based there, all the KC-130's were tankers, everybody knows that. And yes, the Air Force flew in their C-5's for training and airshows. And yes again, Air Force One flew in there, too, but it was the old VC-135, the same one that flew into SNA, not the huge VC-25 currently used. Too bad El Toro will never see the Prez fly in there again, isn't it.

And as a matter of semantics, the POTUS or VPOTUS could easily fly into John Wayne at any time, they'd just have to use a smaller plane. As anyone with half a brain knows Air Force One is any Air Force plane that the President is on. As soon as he gets off the plane it is no longer Air Force One.

1014, if you would open up your NIMBY eyes you'd see that El Toro is dead and you get to keep the only commercial airport in Orange County for yourself. Now doesn't that make you feel elite?

911, obviously you fear the power of public opinion. This website is dividing El Toro investors into camps, those that want bucolia, those that want houses, and those that want to make the most money from their investment. Clearly bucolia is the loser and houses can not be built, so that leaves using the existing airport to make tons of money for the owners. This website is rustling up buyers for the city of Irvine and sugar daddy Lennar. Great Park boosters are becoming zombies. Turn on the lights, Vernon. We are here because the airport is there.

Rustling up buyers? Ahhhhhahahahahaha! Oh my God, that's a good one.

The truth is that this web site is letting the voting public know what nut cases the pro El Toro goons are and the more rants you post the more the voters know they did the right thing in rejecting the airport.

Go back to your bottle, NIMBY, you need a new delusion.

Voting public? You mean there will be another vote on El Toro? Well that Great Pork ain't working out so well, now is it?

The Great Park may not be working real well but one thing is for certain, no El Toro today, no El Toro tomorrow, no El Toro EVER. Just an expanded Duke.

Viva la Duke!

John Wayne would be so proud.

I take it that NIMBY wants to fill El Toro up with houses. The Great Park is not working out so well, but the airport is there. The contamination doesn't bother it. All we have to do is turn on the lights. That's 30 million annual passengers NIMBY.

No means no, NIMBY. You can keep all your super quiet jets at SNA. El Toro is toast and so are you.

806, that's not a very neighborly thing to say. El Toro International Airport is ready to go. The Great Park is toast. The houses are white elephants. The airport already is built. The NIMBY is toast.

NIMBY 1001 whats jam on his toast since he's already got egg on his face. Poor NIMBY can't get his airport built because nobody wants it anymore. Good thing SNA will soon be open 24/7 so he can catch his red eye.

Anonymous said...

811 can you please tell us exactly WHEN the Duke is going 24/7?

Anonymous said...

Expiration of 2003 Settlement Agreement is 2015 for all passenger limits and 2020 for curfew.

Nobody can wait to catch a red eye out of SNA, it will be WONDERFUL!

753, you seem to know more about dinky John Wayne Airport than El Toro International Airport about which this website is. It all depends upon what the meaning of is is. Can you tell us exactly when El Toro International Airport will open?

Anonymous said...

Six years after never. Unless, of course, there are building delays.
Then it could take much longer.

Hmmm, what the meaning of is is. I'll bet you voted for Clinton then denied it.

I'll bet you blew Clinton, then denied it. The stain on your blue dress says otherwise.

826, there's the Lone NIMBY desperately trying to get in the last word. But he alway fails. His insults and filth furthers the resolve to open El Toro International Airport and teach that NIMBY a lesson.

Anonymous said...

There's Donald, desperately trying to get someone to believe his lies and hate for South County. His filth just can't be washed off, it's ground in.

The Duke going 24/7 will teach NIMBY 809 a lesson.

The Lone NIMBY loves to hang around panhandlers. His insults are legend and pathetic. Turn on the lights, Vernon. The Lone NIMBY wants to surrender. It's the only way out for him.

Anonymous said...

Truth be told, 445 IS the panhandler. He loves to lie and insult others, it's really pathetic but what do you expect from a NIMBY? The panhandler wants to surrender because it's the only way out for him since we all know El Toro is dead.

Anonymous said...

445 is the panhandler and 510 is the manhandler.

Anonymous said...

1136, I know you'd like to manhandle me but I have a wife and kids. Stick to Donald, I hear he'll take you on.

anon said...

812, do you manhandle your wife and kids too? There must be somebody to call about this. Turn on the lights, Vernon. Panhandlers are a weird bunch. But we do need El Toro International Airport.

Anonymous said...

Yes, Donald probably does manhandle his wife and kids. But we don't need El Toro anymore, that's why it got voted down. Poor loser NIMBY's.

anon said...

432, NIMBYs are a weird bunch, but we do need El Toro International Airport for the economies of scale. Turn on the lights, Vernon. Lone NIMBY is dredging up an old lie.
