Are We Too Late To Stop U.N. Agenda 21?

The global cabal of U.N. Agenda 21 is behind global warming, regionalism, zoning, land and water use control, wealth redistribution, weakening and eventual replacement of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency, global warming, cap and trade, Smart Grid, Smart Meters, carbon taxes, high gasoline prices, global citizens, IB World Schools, Common Core nationalized education standards, biofuels, Marxist advancement across the globe, food control, water access control via the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), gun control, health control, the Arab Spring/Winter, unchecked illegal immigration, and they are unstoppable. They’ve had 100 years of preparation ahead of us. Their effort is bearing fruit on every facet of our lives and around the globe.

I am certainly not advocating surrender, freedom is worth fighting for, and we are the last bastion of freedom in America. If America goes, so does the rest of the world. Other nations want us to fight because they’ve given up.

I was told by a very conservative ladies’ group that we must be careful not to use the word Agenda 21 lest we are labeled “loons.” In other words, let’s self-censor and enable the Agenda 21 to march on unrestrained because we have to appear that we are trusty team players.

Having survived communism and seeing all the elements of global governance, I am not going to mince works. I have already been labeled “aggender” because I have ample research evidence that Agenda 21 exists, a “denier” because I do not believe in global warming, it is a manufactured crisis by the Club of Rome, IPCC, and other like-minded environmentalist-based groups and NGOs, based on verbal agreement called “consensus,” and faulty and manipulated data. I was called “islamophobe” because I gave a speech on Agenda 21 on the same stage that another person used when speaking about Sharia Law – that makes me guilty by proximity. I am a “racist” and “bigot” because I am definitely against amnesty and illegal immigration.

Nationally syndicated radio talk show hosts have finally started speaking about Agenda 21 elements – they describe seemingly unrelated components of it and thus ordinary people, who do not have the time to do research, have difficulty connecting the dots into the larger picture. I connected many of the stories in my book, “U.N. Agenda 21: Environmental Piracy.” http://www.amazon.com/U-N-Agenda-21-Environmental-ebook/dp/B009WC6JXO/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1379601599&sr=1-1&keywords=un+agenda+21%3A+Environmental+piracy

Survivors of communism know and are speaking out. A political refuge from Romania appealed to the St. Lucie County Commissioners in Florida at a recent meeting about the U.N. environmental regionalist Seven50 plans for Florida. “I do not come here to lose my freedom; I beg you – get out of the Seven/50. Do not destroy our Freedom.” www.westernjournalism.com/author/suzanne-eovaldi/

Citizens vociferously opposed such regionalism. “I am opposed to Seven50… to the loss of our property rights by U.N. Agenda 21, the new world order communist Marxist project.” According to Suzanne Eovaldi, a long line of speakers and refugees from former communist countries pleaded with “local elected officials to reject the takeover of Florida’s private property.” One speaker wondered, “Why am I arguing for what has always been my right… for all that made America great.”

Large grants from HUD and the Obama administration divides the country into 11 nationwide regions, including the east coast of Florida. The Seven50 Regionalism Plan has already been adopted in the Gore triangle counties south of St. Lucie and Indian River counties. Vero Beach, IRC rejected the plan based on a “vertical authority flow chart” controlled by unelected federal bureaucrats influenced by globalist non-governmental organizations (NGOs) who plan to “stack-and-pack 200-foot dwelling spaces” and move citizens off their hard-earned private property. My family and I had experience with such social engineering and confiscation of property, forcibly being relocated off our land into tiny high rise apartments. Life in the 9-story concrete block apartments into which we were moved under protest and duress was very hard, especially since we did not have elevators to climb to our tiny cubicles. Sharing one bathroom and one kitchen with another family of four in a 600 square foot apartment was dehumanizing.

Suzanne Eovaldi describes the typical stack-and-pack living quarters in the 200 square foot aPodments building in Sammamish, Washington. Resident Judy Green “shares the kitchen with seven other tenants on the second floor.” To get to her loft cubicle, she must climb six flights of stairs in the absence of elevators. Cars are not allowed because of global warming. The micro-apartments are the size of a hotel room and rent for $600-900 per month.  The micro-housing units increase the population density of the area tremendously. http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2020845443_apodmentscitycouncilxml.html

The Seven50 is the Southeast Florida Regional Partnership of non-elected bureaucrats who have a “vision” for the rest of us, a vision driven by ICLEI and our own government to control land and water use, plants and animals, energy, construction, humans. Local control is gone and the funding comes from federal agencies doling out taxpayer dollars. In other words, we are losing our own sovereignty to the U.N. with our own taxpayer dollars.

The government knows best what “Best Practices” counties must adopt and these practices are not defined, they will be developed on a bureaucratic whim later. There will be changes to the counties’ desired low density character and scale. The bureaucrats will impose “sustainable development” and “equitable communities.” Smart Growth is certainly the linchpin of Agenda 21. The American Coalition 4 Property Rights explains on its website why the Seven50 Regional plan must be stopped with its Sustainable Urbanism, and the Smart Code solution to urban sprawl. Regionalism will fundamentally alter the make-up of our society and of our property rights or lack thereof. http://nomoreunelectedbureaucrats.com/

Rush Limbaugh explained in his September 12, 2013 monologue, “The Unintended Consequences of Liberal Social Engineering,” what “equitable communities” and Smart Growth are.

Limbaugh described the failed bussing social engineering project in the 1970s when kids were forcibly bussed around the country to schools outside of their neighborhoods, as far away as 45 minutes. Liberals used the power of government to force people where to send their kids to school because liberals did not like where Americans chose to live – they were too racist.

Rush Limbaugh said, “Social engineering is on the verge of being imposed on entire neighborhoods, adults and children alike.” The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will dismantle local zoning and force people to move into certain areas in order to achieve what they consider “racial, economic, and ethnic diversity.” This is “nationalizing neighborhoods” on a grand scale. This is done for our “own good and to achieve utopia.”

If local governments do not comply with the HUD mandate, their federal funding will be cut. HUD has already told Westchester County, New York, that “local governments will have to take meaningful action to further the goals identified. If they fail to comply, HUD can cut federal funding. HUD has told Westchester County that any limits on the size, type, height, and density of buildings are ‘restrictive practices.’”

By obliterating zoning regulations, Rush Limbaugh said, we will have neighborhoods by government quota. The elites, of course, will be excluded from this social engineering scheme.

The Obama administration and liberals in general are fascinated by mass transit, buses, subways, trains and do not like suburbia, they wish to dismantle it. Incidentally, Agenda 21 wants to do away with suburbia and move people off their land into high rise, highly dense settlements in large cities, accessed by public transportation, five minute walk from work, school, and play, with no access to cars and parking.

Mass transit limits our mobility yet our country’s freedom, development, and achievement was defined by our unbounded mobility. If the government controls mass transit, they will control the routes, they will control where we can and cannot go, hence the off-limits lands to human access, lands given back to wilderness.

Rush Limbaugh pointed out that “HUD’s power grab is based on the mistaken belief that zoning and discrimination are the same, zoning is disguised discrimination.”

Milennials, the products of years of liberal education, “do not wish to own cars.” They’ve been brainwashed by environmentalist teachers into believing that cars are bad for the environment, causing pollution and thus global warming.

Rush Limbaugh explained in his September 17, 2013 monologue, “Global Warming Scientists: We Were Wrong,” the connection of all the chess pieces in this global game based on a climate hoax. He correctly identifies IPCC as the “repository for the hoax” and how the “University of East Anglia in Britain… and this guy at Penn State with his fake hockey stick graph, these guys all reported to the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). All of these models that they constructed over the years predicted calamity by now, and the calamity never happened.”

By 2005 we should have been destroyed by global warming. Oppenheimer said in 1985 that we had 20 years if we didn’t reduce greenhouse gases.  We are still here. All these environmentalists and the IPCC use the global warming excuse to “justify increasing fossil fuel taxes and subsidies for ‘renewable energy.’”

Even though IPCC scientists admit that their “computers may have exaggerated the effect of increased carbon emissions on world temperatures – and not taken enough notice of natural variability,” it did not stop National Geographic from dedicating its entire September 2013 issue to global warming. A Statue of Liberty submerged half way into the ocean is superimposed by the large title in capital letters, “RISING SEAS, Mapping a World without Ice.”

Satellite photos of Arctic ice taken by NASA in August 26, 2012 and August 15, 2013 show a 60 percent increase in the polar ice sheet, even though environmental modelers warned us six years ago that the North Pole would have melted by now. Nobel Prize winner Al Gore had cited U.S. climate scientist Wieslaw Maslowski in his December 2007 acceptance speech, “Earth has a fever,” that the North Pole would be “ice-free by 2013.” He was wrong by 920,000 square miles. The polar ice cap is the largest since 2006. http://cnsnews.com/news/article/barbara-hollingsworth/wrong-al-gore-predicted-arctic-summer-ice-could-disappear-2013#sthash.EQBSeKbY.RGnPeQoU.dpuf

Al Gore’s “planetary emergency and the threat to the survival of our civilization,” a.k.a. global warming hoax, has turned into billions of dollars lucrative schemes for many global warming alarmists.

The global warming crowd keeps crowing that we have the power to destroy the planet. Rush says, very wisely, “We don’t have any such power. We couldn’t do this if we wanted to.” Deniers like us are targeted for character assassination because we are interfering with the leftist effort to expand “the size and role of government” controlling the nanny state.

A wise caller explains that the models used to claim global warming utilize cloud cover as the biggest variable in determining what temperatures are going to be. Cloud cover is very unpredictable, clouds form and dissipate so quickly, and it can swing the models one way or the other. The computer models are also based on very large grids and inadequate to make the global warming predictions claimed.

When the data was fudged because it did not match existing models and the environmentalist agenda, a big scandal broke in Great Britain at the University of East Anglia. We are often denied access to documents, information, and data, we are supposed to trust these people because they are the only ones who can interpret the data, and we are too dumb to understand. We are not allowed to testify in Congress, and when we are, we are shouted down.

Rush Limbaugh said, “The political movement funds these people [global warming scientists] with donations if they produce the right outcome in their research. This movement converted a bunch of just every day, ordinary meteorologists into huge proselytizers for it.” All it takes is 105 degrees Fahrenheit in July and people are claiming global warming.

A local commercial ran for many years, featuring a very shady looking salesman who always ended his sales pitch with the words, “I wouldn’t lie to you!” That is how I see the manmade global warming claims manufactured by environmental alarmists whose interests of power and control are at stake. When we do diligent research and uncover the whole U.N. Agenda 21 cabal, we become right wing nut conspiracy theorists who wear tin foil hats to prevent Marxist progress from happening.

Establishing a White House Council on Strong Cities, Strong Communities

A new Executive Order issued on March 15, 2012, establishing a White House Council on Strong Cities, Strong Communities, received no attention from the mainstream media.

Why would MSM report the news that are so important to the American people when there are so many pointless reality shows to occupy the citizens’ time? The Romans had pane et circenses, bread and circuses, in the gladiatorial arenas. Americans have sports and reality TV to dull their senses and perception of the troublesome reality.

The new Executive Order establishes another bureaucracy to “lift communities out of distress,” and to “support comprehensive planning and regional collaboration.” Communities would not be in distress if the economy and the country were not purposefully destroyed through burdensome regulations, insane energy policy, directives, wasteful stimuli, resolutions, omnibus overspending bills, and executive orders.

The Council is a “pilot initiative” that partners with “cities and regions to augment their vision of stability and economic growth.” This partnership aims to drive communities toward “regional planning” that leads to “sustained economic growth.”

The end goal of the initiative is to persuade regions to accept federal resources more effectively and efficiently to develop and implement economic strategies to “become more competitive, sustainable, and inclusive.” There will be strings attached to these federal resources. The operating words are “sustainable,” and “regional” or “regionalism,” buzzwords for UN Agenda 21.

The Council on Strong Cities, Strong Communities will operate within the Department of Housing and Urban Development, chaired by the Secretary of HUD and the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy.

Members include Secretaries of Treasury, Defense, Agriculture, Commerce, Labor, Health and Human Services, Transportation, Energy, Education, Veterans Affairs, Homeland Security, the Attorney General, and various chairs, administrators, directors, and assistants – Council of Economic Advisors, EPA, Office of Management and Budget, Small Business Administration, General Services, Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation for National and Community Service, National Endowment for the Arts, Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Engagement, Assistant to the President and Cabinet Secretary, Assistant to the President for Economy Policy, Council on Environmental Quality, Office of Science and Technology Policy, and all the heads of other agencies and offices as the President may, from time to time, designate.

Sub-groups will be appointed to coordinate and implement the efforts and decisions of the Council on Strong Cities, Strong Communities (SC2).

The mission and function of the Council will be to develop and implement various components of Strong Cities, Strong Communities, or in bureaucratic code, SC2, as determined by Co-Chairs: economic vision, strategies, and technical assistance to local governments.

The Council on Strong Cities, Strong Communities must incorporate their efforts into the agency’s annual performance plans and the outcomes of annual performance results. Economic growth and local capacity of cities and local governments must be addressed.

The federal government will assist communities in “building local capacity to address economic issues, comprehensive planning, and advancing regional collaboration.”

The Council shall conduct “outreach to representatives of nonprofit organizations, businesses, labor organizations, State and local government agencies, school districts, elected officials, faith and other community based organizations, philanthropies, other institutions of local importance, and other interested persons with relevant expertise in the expansion and improvement of efforts to build local capacity to address economic issues in cities and communities.”

Annual meetings will be conducted with mayors and city employees to share “findings and progress, offer best practices, and promote strategies that have worked in communities participating in the initiative.”

Yearly reports will be required to “demonstrate more efficient and effective use of federal resources.” It is not clear what the federal resources will be, however, since so many departments are part of the Council on Strong Cities, Strong Communities (SC2), it appears to be a massive expansion of federal government involvement into the operation of the states and local governments. Key operating words throughout the Executive Order are economic local capacity and regional collaboration.

I focused immediately on the phrase, “regional collaboration,” because it points to another tentacle of the UN Agenda 21 octopus. I recognized the language of HB 430 in Virginia, which established a “Regional Cooperation Incentive Fund,” to offer an increased amount of government grant money to planning commissions that consolidate or coordinate with other local planners, thus regionalize.

What is wrong with regionalization? It is a step toward globalization. It is another layer of unaccountable, unelectable, and parasitic government. Municipalities are shaped into borderless groups that develop comprehensive plans in many areas but especially land use. These plans supersede local laws and often disregard property rights. The unelected layer of “regional” government will then ask each community to bring their laws and zoning in line with those of the “region.”

Legislators should not use state tax money to implement regional comprehensive plans. Planning belongs at the local level by their elected officials. This new Executive Order forces regionalization in every state through initiatives, schemes, and visions, attached to federal grants in order to bribe citizens to “regionalize,” a step closer to total federal control of every aspect of our daily lives.
