D.I.C.E.D. – The UN’s Environmental Constitution For The World

Certain factions here and abroad have been pushing for an Article V Convention which would open up the US Constitution to ‘changes’. What those changes would entail is anyone’s guess, but here is something you might expect many of those groups to be pushing for.

I am sure there are many Americans who have no idea nor care what “The Draft International Covenant on Environment and Development” (DICED) is. They should. The Draft Covenant is the “Environmental Constitution of Global Governance.”

https://portals.iucn.org/library/efiles/documents/EPLP-031-rev3.pdf

The first version of the Covenant was presented to the United Nations in 1995 on the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary. It was hoped that it would become a negotiating document for a global treaty on environmental conservation and sustainable development.

The fourth version of the Covenant, issued on September 22, 2010, was written to control all development tied to the environment, “the highest form of law for all human activity.”

The Covenant’s 79 articles, described in great detail in 242 pages, take Sustainable Development principles described in Agenda 21 and transform them into global law, which supersedes all constitutions including the U.S. Constitution.

All signatory nations, including the U.S., would become centrally planned, socialist countries in which all decisions would be made within the framework of Sustainable Development.

Ex-Trilateral Commissioner Bill Clinton Backs ICLEI On Climate Change Rebellion In Cities

Bill Clinton originally helped the UN-connected ICLEI get established in the U.S., and is leading the pack in pushing cities to personally adopt the Paris Climate Agreement in spite of Trump’s rejection. This divide and conquer strategy will further rip the Constitution. ⁃ TN Editor

Mayors are uniquely positioned to help the United States rise above divisive tribalism since the last global financial crisis that uprooted social and economic arrangements, former President Bill Clinton told the U.S. Conference of Mayors 85th annual meeting on Saturday.

Trouble is, Clinton is suggesting Mayors violate the Logan Act which forbids them to support agreements with foreign countries directly.

ICLEI Teaches Local Governments How To Support The Paris Climate Agreement

ICLEI is teaching U.S. mayors how to commit treason by leading them to obey agreements with foreign entities. President Trump withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement but at least 267 cities have rebelled in support by stating that they would obey its dictates in spite of him. ‘ICLEI and its network’ is a presumptuous statement where ICLEI claims some kind of ownership of these cities. ⁃ TN Editor

The national government of the United States has walked away from international climate action by announcing its intention to withdraw from the Paris Agreement — ICLEI and its network has not.

ICLEI is the only local government network that is accredited as observer at the three Rio Conventions, namely UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) under which the Paris Agreement was adopted; the UN Convention on Biodiversity (CBD); and the UN Convention on Desertification (UNCCD).

ICLEI actively participates in the negotiation and implementation of international climate issues under these Conventions, representing the local and regional perspective.

The Paris Agreement is the continued formal recognition of the key role of local and sub-national governments in tackling climate change following the COP16 held in Cancun in 2010, where this was first achieved. The Local Governments and Municipal Authorities (LGMA) Constituency at the UNFCCC, led by ICLEI as constituency focal point, have been instrumental in this achievement.

Foundations, Think-Tanks, and NGOs are Running the Show

This just in from “Smart Growth America”, a NON-governmental entity that directs states and localities on transportation policies and other ‘sustainable’ policies.

For the past several years Smart Growth America has been helping state departments of transportation improve safety and reliability, preserve their assets, and accelerate project delivery to expand economic opportunity and create healthier, more livable communities.

Our Innovative DOT program has worked with state DOTs in Florida, Vermont, Hawaii, Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, and Tennessee. And over those years, we’ve released three editions of The Innovative DOT: A handbook of policy and practice, one of the most comprehensive guides available for DOTs committed to innovative excellence, in partnership with the State Smart Transportation Initiative (SSTI).

Now, I am excited to announce a new partnership that will take this work to the next level. As of today, we are merging our state transportation work with SSTI to create a unified home for innovative transportation strategies. Like other projects we run in collaboration with partners, SSTI will join the family of Smart Growth America programs.

The SSTI team will bring a wealth of knowledge to our work, particularly to our technical assistance engagements with states and localities. Their expertise in transportation policy will improve our work assisting communities with planning decisions.

We will be delivering new workshops and creating new resources under the new joint SSTI banner, and as one of our subscribers we look forward to sharing those with you. If you would like to stay informed about this work in detail, you can sign up for our state smart transportation mailing list.

We are incredibly excited about this new partnership and warmly welcome the SSTI team to our work. We look forward to collaborating together.

Sincerely,

Geoff Anderson,
President and CEO,
Smart Growth America

Do you really want this well-funded lobby — funded by grants from YOUR TAX DOLLARS telling your towns and cities what to do about transportation??? Because that is all they are… lobbies.

Brookings Institute Has a Game for You

No, this is not a joke.

Brookings Institute, a think-tank noted for its liberal globalist agenda and who regularly promotes socialism and one-world government is being very clear about whose fault it is when people cannot get ahead in life.

Play the game on their website and you’ll see what they mean.

Dream Hoarder Game

Questions like the following let you know why upscale towns in NH are suddenly sprouting low income housing. And by the way, no legislation was passed, Obama simply signed an EO instituting the AFFH rule.

“Your family lives in a single–family home in an upscale neighborhood. New legislation could change the zoning code to allow multi–family housing, which often leads to an increase of lower–income residents.
Will you support the legislation?”

They are getting much bolder now, admitting they would like you to abandon sovereignty and the constitution in favor of one world government. And these are NGOs! NGOs are running the show in this country, NOT congress, and definitely not YOU.

Action Alert: Stop Confirmation of Neal Rackleff

The Trump Administration Is About To Make a HUGE Mistake

Your Action Needed At Once!!!

President Trump promised to DRAIN THE SWAMP.

Specifically President Trump promised to defund and roll back AFFH. But that may not be possible because his Administration has made a huge mistake in nominating a very bad choice to oversee these development programs.

AFFH is one of the worst assaults on local property rights and your property values. It is also the greatest threat to local home rule in communities across the nation. AFFH is being used by HUD to sue cities and put federal HUD agents in charge of local development programs.

But somehow someone in the Trump Administration has nominated a man named Neal Rackleff to be the Assistant Secretary of Community Planning and Development at HUD. This will be the man to oversee AFFH and much more.

Why is his nomination such a mistake?

Neal Rackleff is the former Director of Public Housing for Houston, Texas. In that job he led the programs President Trump promised to eliminate.

Currently Neal Rackleff is a partner of a law firm called Locke Lord. They specialize in dealing with “community and economic development, affordable housing, and municipal and public law.” In short, they are lobbyists pushing the HUD policies and grant programs onto local governments. These are basically the guys hiding in the back rooms, out of sight, spreading the poison of AFFH!
In short, Neal Rackleff is the swamp!

HOW DID SOMEONE IN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION MAKE SUCH A MISTAKE IN THIS NOMINATION?

Unless his nomination is withdrawn there is no way to stop the HUD tyranny.

That’s why you need to take immediate action.

First: Please call HUD Secretary Ben Carson’s Chief of Staff – Sheila Greenwood. She has the power to withdraw Neal Rackleff’s nomination. Tell her he has a severe conflict of interest to serve in this vital position. Tell her Neal Rackleff is the very swamp President Trump pledges to remove!! Her phone number is (202) 708-2713

Second: Please call Senator Mike Crapo. He is the chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs committee. His committee will decide on Rackleff’s nomination. Again, explain that Rackleff and his law firm create a major conflict of interest and that the nomination must be defeated.
Senator Crapo’s number is (202) 245-6142. Fax (202) 228-1375.

Third: If you can, please call any or all of these Republican members of the committee with the same message:

Richard Shelby R AL phone (202) 224-5744 fax (202) 224-3416

Bob Corker R TN phone (202) 224-3344 fax (202) 228-0566

Please make these calls today! We must stop this Nomination!

The Global Agenda (Agenda 2030)

Ever wonder why the UN is so keen on getting into your child’s classroom?

Did you know that despite our withdrawal from the Paris Accord, we will not actually do so until 2020?

This is an excellent article that explains the ‘end game’ of Agenda 2030.

“The sort of activists that the UN hopes to make your children into is also explicitly defined in the agreement. “By 2030, ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including, among others, through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development,” the global plan for 2030 states. Considering what the UN means by “sustainable development” — population control, central planning, global governance, and more — the agenda for your children takes on an even more sinister tone.

“Sustainable” children for global citizenship in the new order will be accomplished via what the UN misleadingly refers to as “education.” In the UN document the word “education” alone is mentioned more than 20 times. And throughout the agreement, the UN openly advocates the use of schools to indoctrinate all of humanity into a new set of values, attitudes, and beliefs in preparation for the new “green” and “sustainable” world order. The UN’s education agenda also puts sex “education” front and center. “By 2030, ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health-care services [abortion and contraception], including for family planning, information and education,” the document explains.”

The Government Owns All Your Water, Even Puddles

Yes the government does own all your water, even those puddles that form temporarily when it rains a bit too much. Why is this?

“During his long time in office, Obama signed an Executive Order (EO) turning over all water, including rain, in the United States, to belong to the out-of-control federal government. So, for now, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has TOTAL control over ALL water in the United States. Yes, Obama’s EO was too extreme and went too far! The National Association Of Counties (NACo) is the lead NON-Governmental Organization for policymaking for state and local government, and according to them, many state and local governments strongly opposed the broad nature of this rule, in particular, the expansive definition of ditches and the ambiguous definition of tributaries.”

This is an interesting article written by Secure Arkansas (a grassroots organization) back in 2014 warning about this Waters Of The United States (WOTUS) matter:

https://securetherepublic.com/arkansas/2014/11/09/high-alert-epa-waters-u-s/

They continue…
“Trump issued an Executive Order (E.O.) 13778 to reinstate the old rights and to have the rule changed back to the people, but we will need to keep an eye on the new and upcoming definition because the National Association Of Counties (NACo) is a NON-Governmental Organization (NGO) that promotes Sustainable Development policies (Agenda 21/Agenda 2030). The EPA and the US Army Corps of Engineers (CORPS), through their proposed rule to RE-define the “Waters of the United States”, were implementing the rules and regulations covered in the United Nations’ document “Earth Summit Agenda 21: The United Nations Programme of Action from Rio” that is covered in Section 2 “Conservation and Management of Resources for Development” and Paragraph 18, 18.1 to 18.90, “Protection of the quality and supply of freshwater resources: Application of integrated approaches to the development, management and use of water resources”. Obama’s proposed EPA rule expanded federal jurisdiction well beyond what was authorized by Congress. Executive Order 13514 and Executive Order 13423 are the two Executive Orders (EOs) that were sent to all government agencies to implement this government overreach via U.N. Agenda 21.The two executive orders mentioned above mirror the U.N. Agenda 21 Earth Summit document! (Also, click here to see a map of how the U.S. has been regionalized.)”

Smart Growth America Praises Mayors

As was predictable, “Smart Growth America”, an NGO dedicated to promoting UN’s Agenda 21/2030, praised the 246 American Mayors who vowed to abide by the Paris Climate Agreement.

They said in their latest email:

“President Trump withdrew from the Paris Agreement on June 1st, and since then more than 246 U.S. mayors have pledged to uphold it.

To these mayors we say: thank you for your leadership. We support you and this strong commitment to reducing emissions at the city level. Keep going.

How should mayors keep going, exactly? The Mayors National Climate Action Agenda has already outlined several suggestions for how cities can achieve these goals, including things like investing in electric cars and clean energy.

We’re here to add that building compact, walkable neighborhoods served by transit is a crucial part of reducing emissions. Walkable neighborhoods are efficient, and use less car fuel, home energy, and water. Using this approach can help cities reach their emissions goals faster.

We’re ready to work with any city interested in reducing their emissions through more efficient and strategic land use. Read our full post on Medium about how a smart growth approach can contribute to this important work.”

If you want your town to retain its rural look and character, lower taxes, less traffic and congestion, do not want the taxpayer boondoggle known as ‘commuter rail’, and want to stop regionalism and urbanism in general, please know the fight is not over by a long shot, and this is proof.
