HISTORIC PRESERVATION - AT WHOSE EXPENSE? a Film Project
To aid the public in understanding whether certain "eminant domain" projects are unconstitutional and to explore the subject, a film tenatively entitled, "RESTORATION - at Whose Expense?" is in production. This investigative documentary will explore organizations like the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Pickering Creek Trust. The film will also explore the various lawyers and other professionals that work on these cases in an effort to find out what motivates them. Of particular interest are specific facts in connection with the National Trust, such as, What is the source of the "National Trust Preservation Fund?" What are the allocation guidelines for such Trusts? Who are recent and long-term recipients of restoration funds? What are the criterion, completed projects and party affiliations of donors, if available? In this day of serious budget deficits and the burgeoning $15 trillion national debt, citizens on both sides of the isle are interested making certain that government costs are reduced and taxpayer dollars spent wisely.In order to record all sides of the controversy, we have invited all of the individuals mentioned herein to participate in on-camera interviews. To date we have only received three responces, however the offer will remain open. In the meantime, any suggestions or insights anyone reading this wishes to proffer on the issues covered here, are welcome. Suggestions for the film, or corrections of facts, herein or elsewhere as such may be published or released from time to time, are also welcome and encouraged. Lastly, referrals to citizen groups, legal professionals, authors and media researchers interested in this subject should be forwarded to the Jaeger Research Institute via contact@JaegerResearchInstitute.org. Also, in order to further stimulate discussion on this important Fourth Amendment subject, please feel free to forward the Summary of this report to interested parties. The producers will continue to document developments and forward them to experts in the field for comments and suggestions.
You can review the work Bunker has put into the restoration of his barn, as well as the destruction of the 4-story general store by the Trust at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i69-ki-9rD4 MAC users can also see the video at http://www.mecfilms.com/anselma/barn.mov.
This short film will eventually be updated with "before and after" pictures of the barn, house and grounds so you can better appreciate the tedious preservation AND restoration work Bunker did the past 20 - 30 years.
We will also include photographs and/or footage of the 4-story general story the National Trust failed to preserve, again in violation of their own "covenant agreement" as discussed at http://www.JaegerResearchInstitute.org/articles/takings.htm. We strongly urge you to look at the 5-minute film otherwise it will be difficult to fully grasp the magnitude of the injustices and misrepresentations being levied by the court-appointed Receiver and the lawyers for the National Trust of Historic Preservation in Washington DC. What you see in the documentary is what the property looked like in 2010. What you will be amazed to see is what it looked like in 1982 when Bunker acquired it. It was in such horrific condition, the well-known Main Line builder, Henry S. Belber, personally advised Bunker to not "take on the project." It was only after years of tedious restoration, all self-financed by Bunker, that the Pickering Creek and National Trusts saw any possibility with this property and stared funneling quasi-private, government- sanctioned taxpayer funds into the surrounding buildings, destroying a national treasure in the process, as discussed above and shown in the documentary film.
For those interested in exploring this issue in greater depth, James Bovard has written an excellent book entitled, Lost Rights. This book documents the disturbing trend of government/special interest intervention into private property rights. In fact, the actions of the National Trust for Historic Preservation are specifically discussed in this treatise.
