UN Changes Tactics on Sustainable Development Goals

Sustainable development goals, targets and… clusters?

The United Nations is busy cooking up its next assault on your freedom with a new group to replaced the former group on Millennium Development Goals. Beware of what they have in store for you…


The UN’s Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals (OWG) will meet next week to discuss potential goals and targets to replace the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which expire in 2015. The OWG and its co-Chairs deserve praise for making significant progress in an incredibly complex process involving an overwhelming number of issues and actors.

The OWG co-Chairs have admirably attempted to reduce a long list of development priorities into 8 “clusters” for discussion (issued last week), following reactions to the 19 “focus areas” they released last month. Many asserted that 19 is too many, compared to the 8 goals of the MDGs. Though the co-Chairs are careful to caution that the focus areas are not goals – and that the clusters are simply for discussion – these caveats are generally ignored. The co-Chairs themselves have indicated they would like to have a better sense of the sustainable development goals and targets by the end of next week. Under considerable pressure to provide structure, producing the 8 clusters is a natural attempt to meet these demands. But any clustering of issues at this point will inevitably raise questions.

Also..

At the same time, cluster five includes sustainable consumption and production, urban settlements, and climate, creating tensions with cluster four (industrialization, infrastructure and energy). This will lead to questions about what the overall framework is trying to accomplish.

One can see from the following PDF file, that most of the issues listed have nothing whatsoever to do with the environment or global warming or sustainability, but are more of social engineering and redistribution of the wealth.

Tell your candidates who support CARBON TAXES that this is what they are enabling!

Blue: For Earth. For Humanity. For Freedom. DVD

What if the “green” movement isn’t saving the earth, but instead is enslaving humanity?

BLUE is more than a film, it’s an idea. Ideas have the power to change the way we think, begin movements, and even change the world. One of the most prominent idea of our time today is the Green Movement, which says that the Earth is threatened by the activity, even the existence, of mankind, and that the noble response is to restrict our freedom in order to save the planet. The movie BLUE challenges that idea. BLUE is an independently funded and filmed documentary by director, JD King.

“In BLUE, filmmaker JD King takes you into some of the most spectacular forest lands in North America, and introduces you to many of the real people who have made their lives there for generations. They are now in a desperate battle to save everything they value, their land, their jobs, their families, their way of life. You may be shocked to discover that their worst enemy has become the ‘environmental’ movement. Do our new environmental governors really know what is best for these rich precious lands? To the contrary, JD King explores the reality underneath the rhetoric, and shows that this movement is no longer about humans’ proper conservancy of nature, but is all about seizing the new ‘green’—of money, power and dictatorial control. Can rational rules for these lands–based on the human values of rights and freedom—prevail? Some of the true stories you will see in this movie may outrage you, some of them will move and inspire you, but you will never take the claims and demands of ‘environmental leaders’ at face value again after experiencing BLUE.” — Prof. Matt Malkin, UCLA

Do Single-Family Homes Threaten the Planet?

Do Single-Family Homes Threaten the Planet?

A plan to squeeze most residents of the San Francisco Bay Area into multifamily housing offers a test case of whether land-use bureaucracies nationwide, encouraged by the Obama administration, should be allowed to transform American lifestyles under the pretext of combating climate change.

Currently, 56 percent of households in the nine-county Bay Area live in single-family homes. That number would drop to 48 percent by 2030, under a high-density development blueprint called Plan Bay Area, recently enacted by the Association of Bay Area Governments and the region’s Metropolitan Transportation Commission.

Plan Bay Area has already drawn several legal challenges, and the debate could spread nationwide if, as may happen, it becomes a model for regulators in other parts of the country.

Carroll Quigley Warned us of Inventory Taking

The goal of Agenda 21 is to inventory and control everything on the planet, most importantly, humans. Many of you have seen this process with gun control, control of health care. Many of you have been subjected to attempts to get you to participate in the American Community Surveys, and now the Center for Disease Control’s health surveys that are currently being conducted in New Hampshire.

In William Jefferson Clinton’s acceptance speech (when he was nominated as presidential candidate), he praised his mentor, Professor Carroll Quigley. On page 950 of Carroll Quigley’s 1964 book “Tragedy and Hope” you will read:

“The individual’s freedom and choice will be controlled within very narrow alternatives, by the fact that he will be numbered from birth … and followed as a number through his educational training, his required military or other service, his tax contributions, his health and medical requirements, and his final retirement and death benefits.”

Who was Carroll Quigley? He was the historian for many of the secret societies that influence and control our government. And his book exposed many of the elites’ agendas.

PR Firm to Lead Delphi Sessions on ‘Drugs’

NH Listens is the PR firm provided to Granite State Future by the Carsey Institute, a foundation that is the product of the Carsey Corporation.

These outsiders are holding ‘community’ conversations that are influenced by NGOs and private special interest groups. You can attend and share your ideas, but chances are the goals are a ‘done deal’.

This group is calling itself ‘New Futures’.

Save Our Town Thanks Voters of Rindge

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the Save Our Town Committee members, and its supporters for their hard work and dedication during this fight to keep Rindge rural. Without you, this huge win would not have been possible. I am truly humbled by the outpouring of support that I received during the past six months.

The biggest thanks of all should go to the voters of Rindge. You are the ones that read the facts, did your research, and realized the importance of what Save Our Town was fighting for. Maybe you grew up here as I did, or maybe you moved here for the peaceful, quiet, rural life style. Either way, you saw the importance of not allowing our beautiful town to become the next Fitchburg, or Nashua.

I have said it before, and I will say it again, if you like that sort of living, that is your right. Please don’t move here and change the way we like to live because it does not suit you. There are plenty of areas just like that for you.

Make no mistake about it, you, the voters, made a very loud statement with the power of your vote. We didn’t just win, we won by such a large margin that it cannot be ignored. We sent a very powerful message that when we speak, we will be heard. Small and rural is the way we will keep it. I am proud of you all for doing what was right for Rindge. The Save Our Town Committee will remain a watchdog for Rindge, assuring this town stays small and rural. We do not need the federal governments help. We are a strong and proud community, and will take care of ourselves. If we can’t afford it on our own, then we really have to ask the hard question, do we really need it? Isn’t that how you run your personal lives?

Larry Cleveland
Save Our Town, Rindge
