The Agenda of the Climate Hoax
Maurice Strong is an oil billionaire with a criminal past. He’s used the UN to promote the climate change agenda, and with a purpose.
You don’t need a subscription to this excellent show. Listen to this first hour and hear about how ‘climate change’ is a hoax to promote Agenda 21 which is the goal to number and take control over everything on the earth.

HB 1124 Must Be Stopped in NH Senate
The NH Municipal Association, using our tax dollars, lobbied to support HB 1124.
This bill permits towns to opt out of official ballot voting requirements for the consideration and adoption of zoning ordinances.
It gives the towns more time to hold hearings and loosens up the requirements for placing the changes on the town’s ballot, etc. But could it work toward removal of the voter’s right to have a say in zoning changes at all?
This passed the NH House.
Whether this bill would give the right of towns to opt out of official ballot voting at all, is what we are concerned about. This is the goal of the Regional Planning Commissions, however.
This bill must be watched for when it gets to the NH Senate.
Please ask your NH Senators to make sure it does NOT remove the right of the voters to approve zoning changes as that would give RPCs too much power over the local boards.

NRPC Executive Committee Meeting 07-18-12
H/T GNTP
I, along with about 6 other people, attended the July, 2012 Executive Committee meeting of the Nashua Regional Planning Commission (NRPC), in an attempt to gain a better understanding of how this “advisory” Regional Planning entity operates.
The 9 RPCs in New Hampshire were created as “political subdivisions” in approximately 1969, and operate under RSA 36 (45-53).
The public portion of the meeting lasted about 33 minutes (see video, likely tomorrow), and was followed by a non-public session, where the visitors from the public had to leave, as the committee discussed sensitive issues relating to personnel, hiring, firing, promotion, salaries, etc. of public employees.
You can imagine my surprise when the non-public portion of the meeting lasted nearly 90 minutes (with me waiting in the lobby). I have been on a school board before, and I never experienced a non-public session that lasted any more than 20 minutes, except when dealing with a very complicated lawsuit against the school district.
To be sure that the committee members knew that I was waiting outside to rejoin the meeting after non-public portion ended, I left my camera tripod and power cord in the room.
At about 8pm, someone opened the doors and told me that the non-public portion had ended. I reentered the room, and the committee took a vote to adjourn.
As I understand it, per RSA 91-A:3-I-b, the committee is supposed to specifically identify the issue(s) or “exemptions” that cause them to go into a non-public session, with enough detail to identify the general nature of the issue but not enough to give away any sensitive details. They are also supposed to take a roll call vote, querying each member of the committee, which they did not do.
The video, and the meeting, is relatively uneventful (sausage making), but it stands as a record of the proceedings, and evidence that non-public proceedings were not properly conducted.
One of the key topics of the meeting was the draft budget update, in preparation for the annual audit. I have provided a summary of this 2011-2012 budget, and highlight some of the notable facts:
Income: $1,471,710.19
The NRPC received $270,872.50 (18%) of its income from “Federal Contracts”, mainly from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) “Sustainable Communities” Regional Planning grants (more on the Sustainable Communities Initiative in the coming weeks).
The NRPC received $162,581.29 (11%) from “Local Dues”, paid by the 13 member towns of Amherst, Brookline, Hollis, Hudson, Litchfield, Lyndeborough, Mason, Merrimack, Milford, Mont Vernon, Nashua, Pelham, and Wilton.
The NRPC received $219,902.59 from “Grants”. These are a mix of what look to be mostly state grants, including “Safe Route to School” (SRTS), Broadband, SWD, Conservation Law Foundation (CLF) Ventures, NH Charitable Foundation (NHCF), and some others.
The NRPC received $778,741.24 (53%) from “State Contracts”. These included Office of Energy and Planning (OEP) stimulus funding, DOT Highway Planning, Souhegan Valley Transportation Collaborative (SVTC), DES, and OEM.
The NRPC received $125,178.68 (8.5%) from “Local Planning Contracts”.
Expenses: $1,443,048.72
The NRPC spent $9,750 on their annual audit.
The NRPC spent $8173.07 on Dues and Subscriptions.
The NRPC spent $11,006 on Insurance.
The NRPC spent $414,859.09 (29%) on “Professional Services”, sub-contracting work.
The NRPC spent $643,696.31 (45%) on Employee Salaries (14 paid staff members).
The NRPC spent $205,411.08 (15%) on Employee Benefits.
The NRPC spent $11,862.92 on Utilities.
The NRPC spent $78,477.12 on Rent (that is approx. $6540 per month).
Income/(Loss): $28,661.47
I will spend some time in the coming months, digging further into the activities of the NRPC, highlighting the good, and the bad, that they do with our tax dollars, trying to understand how an “advisory board” gets to manage this much money, and why 58% of the budget goes to employee salaries and benefits (remember that there are 9 of these RPCs).
I can guarantee, from research already done, that the “bad” that is involved will shock and concern you, if you value your individual liberties, and personal, private property rights.
Stay tuned.

Keene Sentinel’s Sour Grapes
Here is a recent editorial decrying the will of the people of Rindge. They have rejected unelected regional boards, as all towns should.
“Not only did they defeat the warrant article to implement the overlay zone, they separately voted to remove those ideas and everything else that came out of the charrette from the town’s master plan. Then they voted to not allow the town to accept any funding from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development without town meeting’s OK. They did this because a HUD grant had funded the charrette and because of the unfounded fear that once the town accepts money from the federal government, local residents will have no say in the running of the town.”
This is correct. Once money is taken from HUD, HUD requires zoning and planning changes that eventually may not be in control of the people.
Everyone should take an example from Rindge.

Bow voters reject public safety building plan
Bow voters reject public safety building plan
By Alllie Morris
Monitor staff
Friday, March 14, 2014
Bow residents overwhelmingly rejected plans to construct a $6.8 million public safety building, one year after a more expensive plan was narrowly defeated.
The condition of the station will have to wait until the meeting resumes March 24.
After an hour of voting, the tally came to 425-257. It needed a two-thirds majority to pass. A separate article, which would have approved a $200,000 geothermal heating and cooling system for the building, was also rejected, 410-271. The plan would have replaced the town’s outdated fire station with a new building housing the fire, police and emergency management departments across the street.
Yes these town centers are all part of a huge push for urbanization of our small towns.
Rindge Defeats HUD
Rindge Voters Defeat Controversial Zoning Amendments
RINDGE — Voters soundly defeated three controversial zoning amendments at the polls Tuesday.
Article 2 was perhaps the most divisive on the warrant. It would have established an optional crossroads overlay district at the intersection of Routes 202 and 119, with the goal to create a new commercial center in town.
But voters shot it down 969-434, after months of strong opposition from residents.
Last year, the town accepted a $24,820 planning grant from the N.H. Housing Authority, funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. One of the grant’s requirements was that the town suggest zoning changes, including the crossroads overlay district.

UN’s ‘Post-2015 Development Agenda’ Aims to Imprison the World
The far-reaching fate for a captive new human society is not being planned in Washington, D.C., but in New York City.
That fate is no longer somewhere off in the distant future but is being made ready to eclipse all of human society—by the end of 2015.
The sovereignty of all nations will be swallowed whole in the United Nations ‘Post-2015 Development Agenda’, and that’s only the nightmarish beginning of the coming new life on Planet Earth.
While it sounds like Science Fiction, it is harsh reality.
In this fast-coming alien New World, only presidents and kings and their families and staff will remain free of UN-sanctioned encampments called the “micro apartments” of Agenda 21. National borders will be a thing of the past and no nightmare scenario depicted in any non-fiction book or movie comes close to life without individual rights.
GSF Not Mentioned, NHHFA Source of Funds
Does Bedford NH, a rural town, really need or want bike paths? Same goes for ‘overlay zoning’ to create mixed use neighborhoods, as well as ‘workforce housing’. What workforce are we serving? (section 8?)
And the grants for all these projects seem to come from the NH Housing Finance Authority but where do THEY get the money? We suspect it’s HUD.
From the article:
Bedford adopts master plan for bicycle-pedestrian paths
By SUSAN CLARK
Union Leader Correspondent
February 14. 2014
“The town was awarded a $30,000 Community Planning Grant from the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority to complete the Pedestrian and Bicycle Connectivity Master Plan, which follows through on several recommendations of the 2010 Master Plan.
At the hearing, the consultants, planner Jeff Taylor, landscape architect Karen Fitzgerald, and planner Grace Wu of the Resource Systems Group, outlined the project results and recommendations for zoning changes.”
Perhaps now we have the reason why the Town Council wants to remove your right to vote on zoning!

Update: We have been told this is the same thing going on as with Rindge: “your town is missing a center.”
In Rindge, that is exactly what they said. Their grant came from NHHFA, and NHHFA got it from HUD. It was community planning grant to change zoning. It is important to point out that Rindge belongs to SWRPC, but the selectmen said NO to GSF. Rindge’s proposed plan contains sidewalks and bike paths too.
