Transit Oriented Development and Crony Capitalism

They want trains, lots of trains, and compact housing. And crony capitalism with “PPP” (Public-Private Partnerships). Don’t let NH succumb to this!

“What impact could a $1 trillion infrastructure package financed through public-private partnerships have on responsible real estate and transit-oriented development? What does the new administration mean for how developers and local elected leaders work together to improve infrastructure, create jobs, and rebuild neighborhoods for the future?

We’ll be discussing all these questions and more at the 2017 LOCUS Leadership Summit: P3 is for Partnerships, Placemaking, and Policy, on April 24 and 25, 2017 at the National Press Club here in Washington, DC.

Responsible real estate developers, investors, and advocates from across the country are invited to join us to learn, connect, and work on new ways to create walkable neighborhoods served by transit.

This two-day conference will be a chance to learn about the latest innovations in public-private partnerships including transit-oriented development; meet with policymakers on tax reform, housing and infrastructure; and network with LOCUS members and like-minded real estate leaders from across the country.

This year’s Leadership Summit will be taking place at an unusual and exciting time in Washington. I hope you’ll join us for what promises to be a dynamic and engaging event.”

Understanding the Megacities Movement

Watch this video which contains excerpts from the urbanism propagandists who want to promote the limitation of your property rights and herd you into compact housing, without your car. One of the biggest lies is that millennials do not want a piece of land and their own home!

The goal is to eliminate property ownership, eliminate cars, and corral people into urban environments from which they do not need to leave.

This philosophy is reflected in EVERY ONE OF NH’S MASTER PLANS!

Don’t Be Like California

In NH, it’s the Regional Planning Commissions, empowered by HUD and influenced by NGOs such as the American Planning Association and Sustainable Cities Network.

We should not ignore them, nor should we ignore local planning and zoning meetings that are seeking to change the tax base and flavor of your town.

There is a push everywhere for trains, and compact housing. The big lie is that millennials do not want a plot of land and home ownership, or cars, but to live in these cities, and use only public transportation.

You will hear the same buzzwords that you hear and read in your local NH Master Plans.

“Regional” and “sustainable” are red flag words here, just as they are in NH.

It is no secret that some are desperately trying to establish “commuter rail” in NH despite the taxpayers having said no, many times, resoundingly.

Watch the pitch being made to southern Californians.

Let’s NOT Be Complacent

Tom DeWeese from American Policy Center reminds us:

There are thousands of non governmental organizations, planning groups and corrupt local officials who are securely planted in our city halls and state houses across the nation. They are determined to continue with Sustainable Development and Smart Growth reorganization of our communities.

These groups have money. They have political influence – many actually serve on county commissions, city councils and regional governments.

Even if Trump succeeds in reining in renegade federal agencies like HUD and EPA – the radical Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) like the Sierra Club, and the planning groups like the American Planning Association are still entrenched in local communities determined to enforce their plans to change our way of life.

Remember — Agenda 21 was created as a “comprehensive blueprint for the reorganization of human society!”

Their agenda calls for completely reorganizing our cities through programs designed to get us out of our cars, off of rural land and destroy private property rights and even eliminate single family homes – all under the excuse of environmental protection.

The United Nations is certainly not backing down as they face off against Donald Trump. And they are a major source of money and power for these NGO ground troops.

And the NGOs are also fueled by nearly unlimited funding from such private foundations as the Rockefellers, the Ford Foundation and the Environmental Grant Makers Association, to name just three out of thousands of such powerful sources of independent money. So even if the HUD and EPA federal grants are cut out in Washington, the attack will go on.

The UN intends to see Agenda 21 completed world wide by 2030.

Agenda 21, Smart Growth, Sustainable Development, Comprehensive Development Plans – all are based on restrictions on private property. And these programs cannot stand without that power to control all property.

Here is Tom’s plan of action:

First, I am creating a Property Rights Network — a coalition of organizations, activists, and elected officials who stand for and defend property rights. The Network will be an organizing force to unite our efforts and give our cause the punch it needs to be effective.

Second, APC is increasing its efforts to reach out to local officials to help train them in ways to fight back and restore local control in communities. We must teach them to stop taking grant money. I will be traveling to several states in the coming months to meet with local officials.

Third, I am updating and preparing new manuals and other tools to proved officials and local activists the tools they need to fight back.

Fourth, beginning in February, APC will again produce a series of Internet webinars featuring some of the nation’s top experts in the fight to stop Agenda 21 and protect property rights. These webinars have been hailed as effective tools to teach local activists the details they need to fight back.

Bedford Planning Meeting January 23

UPDATE:

Bedford residents are distressed over the urbanization of their town.

Please watch these videos – we are adding them as they come online:

Part 1: https://youtu.be/AemuI29lC-g

Part 2: https://youtu.be/WLruzODmhFU

Part 3: https://youtu.be/oUfAZ4IUWj8

Part 4: https://youtu.be/N4qkxHWwp0M

Part 5: https://youtu.be/W44JAz2gBRU

Then, grab a copy of the latest Master Plan and you will see all the buzzwords and plans, in the blatant attempt to ‘urbanize’ Bedford, thanks to the influence of the Regional Planning Commission and their importance on cities (Granite State Future program) and regional government over elected, local government.

Bedford residents probably do not want Bedford to be turned into a city even though they foolishly voted for the zoning down by the river (overlay district) in 2012 by a wide margin. Did they know what they were doing? No we do NOT want the river area to be a mini-Portsmouth!

The Swamp Continues

Many people were fooled into thinking that a new administration would erase all the old Obama goals. Not so apparently.

In the role of transportation secretary, Chao will be one of the key figures of the Trump administration. Trump intends to heavily invest in infrastructure by building and repairing roads, bridges, tunnels, airports, railroads, ports and waterways, and pipelines. At the hearing, Chao called Trump’s “vision” for infrastructure “ambitious, futuristic, and comprehensive.”

“Our country’s transportation infrastructure is the underpinning of our country’s world-class economy. It is a key factor in productivity growth, providing millions of Americans with a standard of living that is the envy of the world,” Chao said in her prepared remarks, adding, “These gains are being jeopardized by aging infrastructure, growing congestion, increased fatalities on our highways, and a failure to keep pace with emerging technologies.”

She emphasized the need to “unleash the potential for private investment in our nation’s infrastructure.” This will require “a mix of practical solutions, both private and public, that will provide the greatest cost benefit to the public.” She noted that the government “doesn’t have the resources to do it all.”

As for emerging technologies such as autonomous vehicles and drones, she said she wants to work with Congress to position the federal government to be a “catalyst for safe technologies, not an impediment.”

As for emerging technologies such as autonomous vehicles and drones, she said she wants to work with Congress to position the federal government to be a “catalyst for safe technologies, not an impediment.”

On a number of issues, she expressed wanting to work with Congress and having a national dialogue. For instance, she was asked about her views on privatizing air traffic control. She noted that this should only be done with “national consensus” and added that she’s “open to all ideas.”

Chao’s father, James S.C. Chao, is the founder of Maritime Corp. They ship goods to China and they also buy ships from China State Shipbuilding Corporation. He has strong ties to former Chinese President Jiang Zemin. They went to school together at Jiao Tong University in Shanghai and have stayed in touch ever since. So much for making China answer on trade.

Elaine Chao has heavily lobbied for normalized trade with communist China. She has also severely downplayed concerns about China’s growing military threat, espionage campaigns in the US and human rights abuses. We are already in a cyber war with China and the military tensions are mounting by the day. Chao is an enemy from within without a doubt.

Both Chao and McConnell serve on the board of the China Foundation, a nonprofit charity devoted to helping develop rural parts of China. That should raise red flags all over the place (pun intended). McConnell has been China’s biggest supporter in the Senate. Chao sought out John Huang to help raise money for Republican senators in 1989 – beating Bill and Hillary Clinton to the punch in 1992. In 1993, Huang, then head of Lippo Bank, rounded up a coalition of Chinese banks and individuals to sponsor Chao’s visit to Los Angeles as the new head of United Way. Huang gave McConnell $2,000 in illegal donations as part of a foreign money-laundering scheme — one of only two contributions Huang made to Republicans. When Chinagate broke, Chao decried the prosecution of Huang and claimed… you guessed it… racism.

Who is Elaine Chao?

WND should have known that Chao, as with other appointments would be ‘status quo’. Therefore it was not so shocking for us realists who know that Trump is indeed part of the establishment and, in GSFs opinion, will do the bidding of the lobbyists, bankers, and globalists in his cabinet.

WHO FUNDS UN AGENDA 21/SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT?

Growing Smart Legislative Guidebook Model Statues for Planning and the Management of Change was funded by grants from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (the lead federal agency); Federal Highway Administration (US Department of Transportation); US Environmental Protection Agency; the Federal Transit Administration (DOT); the Rural Economic and Community Development Administration (US Department of Agriculture). All of these agencies were members of the President’s Council on Sustainable Development which ran from 1993-1999.

Private funders included the Siemens Corporation; Henry M. Jackson Foundation; Annie E. Casey Foundation; and the American Planning Association. These private organizations promote smart growth.

Siemens, for instance, benefits from the development of the ‘smart grid’ and is a key private for-profit corporation for solar, biomass, and other subsidized power generation. This huge multi-national corporation is involved in health care, building systems, financing, communications and more. Siemens USA has revenue of over $20 Billion. They also just appointed Michael Kruklinski Head of Siemens Real Estate for the Americas. In this role he’ll oversee all operations for Siemens Real Estate in the U.S. He also is on the NEW YORK CITY REGIONAL PLAN ASSOCIATION BOARD. Siemens is a German company that was nearly bankrupt until Hitler generously supplied free slave labor and money for technological development.

Read and Review “Delphi Technique”

It is important to know how you are being manipulated at meetings held by regional planners, NH Listens, the Carsey Institute, Plan Marlow (and other towns), Plan NH or any other meeting or listening session or ‘charrette’ organized by Non-Governmental groups involved in Public-Private Partnership arrangements with your town or school.

The Death of Sovereignty and Local Rule

This website is an ambitious look at how the globalists would like to reorganize and centralize our US government. We must NOT let this happen.

The Huffington Post has a feature review of CONNECTOGRAPHY focused on planetary urbanization, looking at the maps of mega-cities and the potential for the US to be reorganized around functional city clusters.

Regarding the Federal Taking of Land in NH (RSA 121)

This is an open letter from someone who is being affected by the federal takeover of lands in New Hampshire.


To Whom it May Concern,

We have been hurt by this federal takeover. One neighboring town is just about gone. Its only store closed a month ago. We are over 1/3 federal now and Upton, Maine is barely hanging on. After fighting this for 10 years, a lot have either sold out or resigned themselves to staying as long as they can hold on to their jobs and pay their property taxes. Woods roads are left to ruin, culverts are pulled out and with the next CCP, they will once again attempt to wipe out snowmobile trails.

Up here, we have no voice as Sen. Jeff Woodburn (D-NH), and all our federal delegation support this takeover. Even Bill Carpenter of DRED, who took an oath to uphold our laws, ignored RSA 121. While we up here are, in all probability, going to be consumed by this cancer, people downstate may be saved by seeing our hardship and timber industry devastation. When the right people get hurt, things may happen, because a lot of Southern NH is going to see their playground gone and heavily regulated, especially those who enjoy motorized recreation or hunt. Even bicycles are banned on most of their roads.

Good luck fighting the Beast that is wiping out local control and our state. Our only hope is that by some miracle, those we elect will support us and vote to starve the beast or at least uphold our law.

Yours in Liberty,
Bob Lord, Errol, NH
