Save Your Land Meeting a Success
Save Your Land Keene held an informational meeting on Saturday April 26th featuring Rep Jane Cormier and Ken Eyring, GSF researcher.
Attached is a picture of a person who challenged the speakers.
We are hoping someone can identify this person, who refused to give his name or sign into the event.
The event-goers did note he had no facts to back up his assertion that Ken or Jane were wrong in their research on HUD contracts via Granite State Future RPC “central planning” schemes.
Scientist Admits: IPCC Report Fudged
A top US academic has dramatically revealed how government officials forced him to change a hugely influential scientific report on climate change to suit their own interests.
Harvard professor Robert Stavins electrified the worldwide debate on climate change on Friday by sensationally publishing a letter online in which he spelled out the astonishing interference.
He said the officials, representing ‘all the main countries and regions of the world’ insisted on the changes in a late-night meeting at a Berlin conference centre two weeks ago.
Three quarters of the original version of the document ended up being deleted.
And for those of you who say the UN has no power or influence over American affairs on climate, the article goes on to say…
IPCC reports are supposed to be scrupulously independent as they give scientific advice to governments around the world to help them shape energy policies – which in turn affect subsidies and domestic power bills.

Smart Growth Policies Bad for Suburbs
Stanley Kurtz wrote a book about this and doesn’t much mention Agenda 21 but that is what it is.

Forced Annexation Another Urbanist Agenda
In Indiana the urbanists are attempting to merge rural areas with the cities so that more money can be funneled into their regionalism schemes. People do not want this. This is Agenda 21 at its worst.
SPLC Launches Hysterical Attack on Critics of UN Agenda 21
Even the government is no longer listening to the hate group, known as the Southern Poverty Law Center
The self-styled “civil rights” organization Southern Poverty Law Center, which despite mounting controversy maintains some links to government agencies, released a bizarre and factually challenged screed attacking critics and opponents of the deeply controversial United Nations plot known as Agenda 21. Apparently unfamiliar with the definition of basic words such as “conspiracy” and “theory,” or with the UN plan itself, the SPLC also lashed out at “activist groups,” “mainstream politicians,” voters, “extremists,” and others who question or oppose the UN agenda for what it calls “sustainable development” in the United States.
Sorry UN But You Do Not Own Our Land!
World Heritage Sites are places the UN is claiming more and more.
http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/
The UN on its World Heritage website claims: “World Heritage sites belong to all the peoples of the world, irrespective of the territory on which they are located.”
Oh really?
We shall see about THAT.
These Folks Understand the Problem
NH has its own little ‘shadow’ government. And these two guys noticed. Here is their letter we found at Seacoast Online.
To the Editor:
What is the Local Government Center (LGC) and New Hampshire Municipal Association (NHMA)? They are nonprofit organizations that have legal features of both government and private entities (aka, quasi-public or quasi-private) much like the Rockingham Planning Commission, or the Granite State Future. None of the positions held in these organizations are through election.
Establishments of this ilk continue to multiply and flourish in New Hampshire and there is very little notice of the detrimental consequences affecting the rights of New Hampshire’ citizens.
On April 9, a hearing was held on changes proffered by the LGC and NHMA to the people’s Right-to-Know Law, RSA 91. The following is the text of the change: (k) Consideration of written advice or information from the public body’s legal counsel.
This addition would exempt from public scrutiny any pertinent documents of the people’s business that a board does not wish to make available to the public by invoking attorney-client privilege. This change is an assault on the State of New Hampshire Constitution Part First Bill of Rights [Art.] 8.
When most of us are dutifully earning wages to meet our family responsibilities, lobbyists, paid employees and attorneys are petitioning our elected officials at hearings we are unable to attend, which contributes to the burdensome and irresponsible increases forced upon us by federal, state, county and town governments and last but not least the ‘Sacred Cow’ aka the public school system.
We are tired of funding these onerous institutions through dues, fees and salaries included in our town and school budgets, which are in turn used to promote special interests that circumvent the New Hampshire State Constitution as well as New Hampshire RSA laws always to the detriment of the people. In layman’s terms we are financially contributing to our own political demise.

Western States Want Feds to Surrender “Federal” Land
Well this is a good start! There is nothing in the Constitution that states the federal government has the right to buy up land and then keep it from the people.
Federal land-lording is also unwise for a variety of pragmatic reasons, experts argue, and there can be little doubt as to how America’s Founders would have felt about it. “I would say the last thing you want is the federal government’s ownership of lands,” R.J. Smith, a senior fellow in environmental policy at the National Center for Public Policy Research, told Newsmax. “That’s not why this country was founded. That’s what the Founding Fathers were trying to escape — the king’s house, the king’s land, the king’s everything.”
