Preserve Property Rights by Defunding HUD’s AFFH Rule
H/T JBS

The pressure by property advocates from across the nation to rein in HUD’s disastrous Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule is being felt on Capitol Hill. As a result, two bills have been introduced to defund and eliminate the program.

Representative Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) has introduced H.R. 482 (24 cosponsors), called the Local Zoning Decisions Protection Act of 2017. Meanwhile, Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) has introduced a companion bill (S. 103; one cosponsor) in the Senate under the same name. Both bills are designed to defund and defang AFFH.

AFFH is dangerous to American property owners and to local government in our communities. In 2015, the federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) department began enforcing the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule. This was Barack Obama’s most radical assault on American private property rights and locally elected governments.

The AFFH rule obliterates personal property rights and destroys property values in whole neighborhoods. Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing requires every community that applies for HUD grants to perform massive demographic analyses locally and regionally to determine if there are enough low-income and minority people living in every neighborhood (as determined by HUD). HUD agents search the records of every person in each neighborhood for income levels, race, color, religion, national origin, and much more.

If there aren’t enough of each category to satisfy HUD’s vague rules, HUD will claim that the community is “out of balance” and therefore in violation of AFFH! Next, HUD will file lawsuits against the community to impose its will. HUD is already doing this in many communities across the nation. The result is pure social engineering of neighborhoods.

As HUD demands that the “imbalance” be corrected by forcing federally subsidized housing into more affluent neighborhoods, property values plummet. Equity in those homes will be lost.

In addition, as HUD moves to enforce these badly defined rules, its agents begin to dictate to local officials how their communities will develop. Locally elected officials simply become pawns to carry out HUD rules. Home rule in America will die under AFFH.

One other dangerous effect that AFFH has on local government is the creation of regional, non-elected governments. These regions are created as HUD uses the data it has gathered on each neighborhood and then creates “geospatial” (data) maps. Once the maps are incorporated into local plans, the agency then manages enough of the community’s zoning and population distribution to merge the community into an autonomous region, to be run by an unelected oversight council.

The Gosar and Lee bills are designed to deal with all of these concerns. The proposed bills deny all funding for HUD’s geospatial mapping:

[N]o Federal funds may be used to design, build, maintain, utilize, or provide access to a federal database of geospatial information on community racial disparities or disparities in access to affordable housing.

Since HUD and the Obama administration created confusing and expansive definitions of how the Fair Housing Act must be enforced, local communities have little hope of complying with or opposing HUD. Congress is about to stop that.

According to the provisions of the new bills, HUD’s exercise of tyrannical powers over local communities would be reined in by forcing federal, state, and local officials to jointly decide the best way to advance:

The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall jointly consult with State officials, local government officials, and officials of public housing agencies to develop recommendations, consistent with applicable rulings of the Supreme Court of the United States, to further the purposes and policies of the Fair Housing Act.

The sponsors of these bills are greatly optimistic that they will pass and that President Trump will sign them into law. However, there is growing pressure from civil rights groups, developers, and their lobbyists who fully understand the dangers these bills represent to their big government agenda. It is vital that those of us opposed to AFFH and HUD overreach keep up our own pressure on Congress by calling and emailing our representatives and senators to demand they support H.R. 482 and S. 103.

Reining in HUD and defunding its AFFH rule is a vital first step. Once achieved, the next move is to organize a grassroots movement to demand that HUD be completely abolished in order to end its tyrannical threat to our neighborhoods.

Phone your U.S. representative (202-225-3121) and senators (202-224-3121) in support of defunding and eliminating the AFFH rule with H.R. 482 and S. 103.

Please also email your representative and senators with the same message.

Technocrats and the world elite are driving rural migration to smart cities, and the inevitable uprisings and conflicts will be put down by newly inspired ‘Megacities Combat Units’. ⁃ TN Editor

As we’ve been saying, herding Americans into closely guarded cities will enable the world government to control them much more closely… using “combat units”… yes you read that correctly.
Could this be why towns are militarizing their police forces?

Every year, more and more of the world’s population moves into cities. The number of megacities is growing exponentially. Both of these global patterns and their inevitable consequences for military operations are well documented. Yet we still do not have units that are even remotely prepared to operate in megacities. If we want to find success on the urban battlefields the US Army will inevitably find itself fighting on in the future, that needs to change.

Please read this important article from the VP of American Policy Center Kathleen Marquardt. Here is an excerpt that should wake you up. If it does not, you are hopelessly brainwashed and apparently suffering from ‘normalcy bias’.

On Public Education –

“Every family, including young couples, will have a hygienically adequate and comfortable home, a place suited to civilized living.” Program of the Communist Party of the U.SS.R. (Moscow 1961, p. 94) Ibid. p.55

“The arguments of those who defend public child rearing are stronger, in our opinion, than those of the opposition. Their ideas, however, sound rather hypothetical as yet, because they lack positive evidence and cannot offer a clear and precise model to contrast with the traditional system. Developing such a model requires an objective study of the forms of social interaction, especially at the early stages of personality formation. Ibid p.57

“The best opportunity for contact among children of preschool age occurs in the nursery, which is the best setting for developing the child’s imitative powers and individual activities. He expresses his inclinations most freely here, and his egocentricity is least harmfully repressed. The positive value of group activity, of course, is fully realized only when it is organized and directed by educators who have benefited from advanced social training. Ibid p. 57-58

“The first foundations of communist personality are established in nurseries through the relationship of children with their peers in preschool groups. The personality further develops in primary groups during the earliest grades. These are excellently suited to foster the unfolding of all aspects of a child’s potential. Ibid. p. 64

“With the development of full-time public education, the traditional functions of family housing will be taken over by three new types of residence:

1. The residential units attached to the preschool and elementary school.
2. Residential quarters attached to the secondary school community.
3. Apartment-type units for individual adults or for couples who are parents.
4. 64-65

“Then it would seem reasonable to use a residential standard of not more than 225 square feet per person (on the average). This assumes a small number of persons living permanently in each apartment and the development of public eating places within residential buildings. The preparation of food in the family unit will no longer be necessary, but merely optional. The stove and kitchen cease to be the focal points of a residential plan. Minimal kitchen facilities can be included in a living room or foyer, and the space thus freed can be used for other needs, such as more spacious bathrooms.

“The apartment should also provide a separate room for children during the hours and days that they visit their parents. Approximately fifty square feet to seventy- five square feet should be allocated for each child’s play, sleep, and other activities. Ibid. p.66″

Kathleen Marquardt has been in the freedom movement since before it was called that. She was founder and chairman of Putting People First, a non-profit organization combatting the animal rights movement. Her book, AnimalScam: the Beastly Abuse of Human Rights, was published by Regnery in 1993. Kathleen has been Vice President of American Policy Center since 2000 and is the Agenda 21/Sustainable Development expert for Rocky Top Freedom Campaign. She was a contributing writer and researcher for Freedom Advocates.

Please tell your US Congressmen to support HR 482 “to nullify certain regulations and notices of the Department of Housing
and Urban Development, and for other purposes”.

The Agenda 21/2030 ‘deniers’ should read this interesting article which discusses what must be done in order to implement ‘world government’. It is not a conspiracy theory, but an ongoing effort. Before globalism, there must be regionalism.

“In this discussion aspects that will need clarification include issues such as the future of the nation state as the locus of sovereignty, the composition and functions of regional organisations, the requirements regional organisations must fulfil in order to qualify for representation in the proposed international institution and the functions and authority of the proposed international body.”

Forget the US Constitution, the UN wants to be your government.

Someone please — tell those who still think the UN’s plan to manage every person in every country in ‘human settlements’ is not a dream, is not a theory, but a reality, and all states are working towards it with the help of their REGIONAL PLANNERS. Some of these planners come from your town government, others come from county government, and yet others like Andrés Duany have internationalist roots.

One thing is certain, you did not elect these people and you did not suddenly agree that the United Nations could tell you where and how you could live.

Duany even admits his dream of urbanization is fascism in this video which contains clips of his very long speech about how you need to just break down and accept these ideas. He asserts that ‘fascism works’ while lecturing about Florida’s “Seven50 Regional Plan” to make that state comply and ‘transcend the local’ in favor of ‘mega-regions’ which will become more important than States and Countries.

None of his comments were taken out of context and if you can bear to listen to the whole original speech, it is here: https://youtu.be/wfOOEphEfVc

If you would like to see what a planned “connected city” of the future, as part of the envisioned regional world government system looks like, take a look at Florida’s plans for the PASCO area:

http://www.pascocountyfl.net/index.aspx?NID=2319

Public input on these projects is minimal — most residents have no idea what is going on, and when some do find out and attend, they are shut down and out of the process. In NH, Granite State Future (official website) boasted that 600 people attended their “listening sessions” but of those 600 only around 200 were actual taxpayers with no stake in the government, not planners, and not builders or landscapers who would take advantage of new projects. (NH has a population of about 1.2M)

What’s the solution? Not only must we eradicate the Federal Department of Education so that our children will no longer be subject to the globalist push for regionalism, we must abolish the equally unconstitutional Federal Departments of HUD, EPA, and the DOT, and we must stop funding “regional planners” in our own states, people who are NOT elected by you the voter, but who are pushing this stuff into the “master plans” of your towns in the hopes you will be duped into accepting the increased urbanization and consolidation of governments of your areas. It is those illegal federal agencies who, through (unelected but taxpayer funded) regionalist groups like your local Regional Planning Commissions in NH, are pushing these ideas at your town meetings and getting these initiatives placed on your ballots, claiming untruths such as millennials prefer to live in stack ’em and pack ’em housing, ride bikes and take trains and not own cars, and do not want to own single family homes on properties they own.
