Here They Go AGAIN!

We were just alerted to this new effort: Strong Towns Movement

Just like the “Smart Cities Caucus” we exposed previously their ‘plan’ is the embodiment of an attack on suburbia, cars and home ownership, and promotion of the UN’s vision for everyone.

It is NOT surprising therefore, that Andrés Duany is featured prominently on their website without a caption stating who he is.

It is also not surprising that they shun cars and likely will claim that public transit, such as commuter rail, is more financially viable.

We the People Just Stopped WHO – For Now

“We the People” threw a sabot into the machinations of the WHO, the World Health Organization, stopping them from setting up a system that would grossly infringe on our national and individual sovereignty. In January, the Biden administration proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) that cover 194 Member States. According to the IHR: “While disease outbreaks and other acute public health risks are often unpredictable and require a range of responses, the International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR) provide an overarching legal framework that defines countries’ rights and obligations in handling public health events and emergencies that have the potential to cross borders.” Overarching means comprehensive, all-embracing, and that, in my opinion, defines their aims exactly – and the reason to get the U.S. out of the WHO and, ultimately, the U.N. if we wish to save this country.

Destroying the NH Advantage – Commuter Rail

Commuter rail is another piece of the ‘urbanization’ puzzle that originated with the United Nations’ global goals, a.k.a. Agenda 21 (now called Agenda 2030) to get us out of our cars, in an effort to reduce ‘global warming’ or ‘climate change’.

Republicans are drinking the koolaid on this as well as Democrats.

THIS IS AN URGENT CALL TO ACTION!
STOP SALES AND INCOME TAX FOR COMMUTER RAIL!

Recently on Facebook we saw US Congressman Chris Pappas and others planning to use the Federal ‘infrastructure’ bill to further their goal of bringing commuter rail to NH.

Research on this issue demonstrates that the ever-bankrupt MBTA would not alleviate pollution OR traffic, and minimal ridership would not justify the system financially. It is not surprising that there is no rail system in this country or abroad that does not run in bankruptcy!

All the facts including the NH DOT’s own study are included in the information sheet below. Even the NH DOT study stated that in order to begin the process of funding such a system NH would need to institute a SALES OR INCOME TAX — OR BOTH!

Additional facts and testimony from a respected retired transit engineer are also included.

Please download the Commuter Rail Fact Sheet:

ACTION ITEM: Please write to ALL NH SENATORS AND NH REPRESENTATIVES to let them know that the NH Advantage will not benefit from commuter rail.

Email the full NH House and NH Senate and tell them NOT to violate their Pledge against broad-based taxes:

Senators@leg.state.nh.us

nhhouse@leg.state.nh.us

Let’s keep supporting the NH Advantage by stopping wasteful spending, and opposing broad-based taxes, which would be a GIVEN if commuter rail were allowed to go forward!

Rosa Koire, Hero

Today we were stunned to learn that a dear friend and colleague of ours passed away from cancer, so suddenly. The world has lost a hero in Rosa Koire, author of “Behind the Green Mask”. She exposed UN Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030 and the climate change hoax. She understood why the suburbs are under attack and fought the fight in her home state of California. She will be sorely missed.

Climate Change is Natural

As we’ve always said, climate change is natural, normal and earth’s geologic events have been what was responsible for temperature fluctuations, oceans rising and falling, lakes being created or drying up, and thousands of species having gone extinct.

This continues, despite what man does or doesn’t do.

“For more than 60 years, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has known that changes in weather conditions on the planet are perfectly natural and normal.

But the space agency, for whatever reason, has decided to let the so-called man-made warming scam continue and spread, at the expense of human freedom.

It was in 1958, to be exact, when NASA first noted that changes in the Earth’s solar orbit and changes in the Earth’s inclination were responsible for what climate scientists today call “warming” (or “cooling,” depending on their agenda). In other words, in no way is man warming or cooling the planet by driving internal combustion engine vehicles or eating beef.”

The Origins of Evil – Agenda 2030

We have followed the late Henry Lamb for a long time and he is still a great resource. Why do we have trouble getting people to understand that low income housing, high density influx, is merely one facet of Agenda 2030?

People think they are going to stop socialism by voting for a ‘conservative’ for president (what a joke that is) but fail to do anything about the socialism that is right under their noses in their own home towns. They would rather argue and post memes about liberals while their own leaders are sending them down the same path.

Please read the article and watch Henry’s video… it’s old, but everything he said has come true and you are seeing it now with towns forced to have bike paths, etc. and the state attempting to tax everything that moves, and most importantly, FORCING TOWNS TO ALLOW HIGH-DENSITY HOUSING.

NH Governor Pushes Agenda 21/2030

By interfering with housing, allowing commuter rail plans to go forward, and now discussing the installment of windmills, the NH Governor is doing exactly what Gavin Newsom in California tried doing with SB50 — he is in fact, promoting local Agenda 21/2030.

And You Thought You Were Safe in NH?

Many local groups have awakened to his plans and what they it mean for their towns, but now towns are being attacked from the State level thanks to the Governor and his two Carsey Institute graduates.

In California, the legislature had the brains to NIX Newsom’s bill.

“SB50, which claimed to have addressed the state housing shortage, was a form of bureaucratic overreach that essentially would have stripped local governments’ ability to enact their own zoning laws, consolidating that power in Sacramento.”

That is exactly what HB 1629, HB 1632, and HB 1248 would do for NH,

NH residents need to get active and let the legislature and the Governor know that this is not the state’s purview to mitigate a phony housing shortage, or to award developers with perks taken from the middle class’ taxes.

Write to them both at: sununu.social@nh.gov and nhhouse@leg.state.nh.us

Please keep up with all these issues here, bill numbers and other information.

The “Green New Deal” IS Agenda 21

Sununu’s Housing Plan and the push for commuter rail is just part of the “Green New Deal”. So is commuter rail… both being forced upon NH.

“State legislatures are passing bills to eliminate single family housing protection, instead allowing high-rise apartments and public housing to invade such neighborhoods, destroying property values.”

The High Density Delusion

These two articles by Edward Ring explain perfectly what we have been saying all along — the high density craze will help destroy the middle class and make single-family home ownership even more difficult.

Currently in NH, the Governor is pushing high-density by promoting two bills that will impose mandates on local boards, and reward developers further for high-density projects.

The taxpayers will take up the slack when services are overburdened and in need of expansion. Not everyone wants to live in a city, or have their rural, semi-rural town be attached to one.

“Most Americans aren’t racist. But they rightly have an aversion to spending their life’s savings to purchase a home in a neighborhood with a certain ambiance, only to then have their taxes increased so people who could never earn enough money to live in their neighborhood come in and live there anyway.”

“Why should anyone work hard their entire life, creating generational wealth, if the neighborhoods where they’ve fought so hard to be able to live are suddenly filled with people who in many cases didn’t have to work at all to live there?”

Read more… Density Ideology Will Destroy America

“On the question of unaffordable housing, however, the opposite is true. Unlike the healthy debate being waged across America on the topic of healthcare, the debate over housing solutions—if one even wants to call it a debate—is decidedly unhealthy. Basic premises go unchallenged. Basic assumptions and options are off the table, considered beyond debate. If the debate over housing policy remains a stunted facsimile of genuine debate, Americans will not only be condemned to purchase barely affordable housing, but their new housing options will be almost exclusively limited to homes on ever-smaller lots—or apartments—in increasingly crowded cities.”

And don’t forget to ask your State Representatives and Senators to REJECT HB 1629 and HB 1632
