Still Think It’s Not Real?

The UN is still hard at work, planning to organize us under their vision of government divisions.

The UN’s New Urban Agenda is not just for cities, but for rural populations as well, all of whom will be ‘assigned’ to their nearest city-region. Sustainable Development and city planning if part and parcel of Technocracy.⁃ TN Editor

The phrase “human settlement” formally entered the United Nations lexicon during the Habitat I conference held in Vancouver in 1976, coined to acknowledge that all settlements, whether urban or rural, fell under the purview of the U.N.’s new Human Settlements Programme, now known as UN-Habitat.

Now, the Habitat Agenda has been supplanted by a new strategy: the New Urban Agenda, the consensus declaration adopted at Habitat III. In name, at least, this is a document that focuses explicitly on the urban. So how does this new strategy look at the rural end of the spectrum?

For the most part, the rural finds mention in the 24-page document as part of a compound: “urban-rural”. The agenda doesn’t have a separate vision for rural settlements and rural development; rather, it links the growth of urban development with that of rural areas. The resulting “urban-rural linkages” came to receive significant attention during the run-up to Habitat III, including in a technical “issue paper” that described these linkages as “flows of people, capital, goods, employment, information and technology”.

NGOs Are Running Our Government

An NGO we write about often called “Smart Growth America” is now bragging that they are the new experts on ‘form based code’. Recall that they have claimed that millennials prefer city living with no cars or homes of their own, to rural living and ownership of homes and automobiles. We suggest they doth protest too much.

“Form-based codes often serve as the regulatory framework for smart growth in communities across the country,” Scot Spencer, Smart Growth America’s board chair and Associate Director of Advocacy and Influence at the Annie E. Casey Foundation, noted in the official press release announcing the merger.

The nerve of these people to speak about ethics!

Hildebrant says: “Hildebrandt broke down the smart city model into five main tenets. Firstly, a smart city uses a digital infrastructure that is standardized and safe. Secondly, it provides room for research and experimentation, allowing for collaboration between the public and private sectors. Thirdly, it requires a new government system, where officials work directly with citizens to achieve goals. Fourthly, it will ideally promote and improve education and increase employment. Finally, the smart city will work as a network with other smart cities, and using this regional collaboration, it will be more effective and efficient at creating change and progress.”

As we and others have written about before, ‘smart’ cities are less about your needs and desires, and more about the desire to regionalize and eventually globalize American government, government under the corporations.

The “public/private partnerships” seen in an expanded view are truly rule by corporations, nothing more. America will be seen and divided as economic regions and people will be used and exploited for the government. Now you know why education geared to ‘workers’ and property is referred to as ‘settlements’.

Is Gun Control a Goal of Agenda 2030?

As we have proven many times before, regionalism is just one small step toward the bigger goal of rearranging the normal political divisions of a constitutional republic into networks of global “megacities” resulting in the loss of local control. The loss of local control is clearly cited as one of the barriers to urbanism and regionalism. Regionalism is but one step toward a unified world government, and consolidating countries into “unions” such as the EU, an even larger step.

Due to the recent unfortunate events in Florida there has been much debate over gun control. Some deny that gun control may lead to total gun confiscation.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) and other pro-second amendment groups who merely seek to preserve the right to keep and bear arms, have come under criticism. Those crying for gun control are claiming these groups oppose any gun control because of fears that it would lead to total gun confiscation. We believe the NRA and other groups may be 100% CORRECT.

The United Nations does seek TOTAL SMALL ARMS DISARMAMENT, not just the abolition of nuclear weapons. (The knotted gun sculpture at their New York headquarters might give a hint.) Our federal government has been proven to be 100% committed to the UN agenda, as if our constitution did not exist. This conclusion is easy to reach after merely perusing all the information gleaned from UN’s multitudinous websites outlining all their treaties, compacts, commissions, and resolutions, and their push toward regionalism and the subsequent creation of regional councils in the USA, governing bodies which would replace LOCAL CONTROL. You can see that this agenda has been adopted by examining your US State Department website where they are up front and in your face: DHS Promotes Agenda 21 and Smart Cities – Some of the US’s Agenda 2030 Goals (example) – US State Department’s Global Goals

What more proof does anyone need? To continue to believe that there are no mandates from or authority held by the UN is to ignore the voluntary adoption of these ideas by our Federal and State governments.

Those who say there is “no such thing” as the goal of total gun confiscation and/or one world government by way of regionalism are sadly uninformed and naive.

Republican Majorities Guarantee Nothing

Why you are receiving a second update to this article: PLEASE READ! We just learned that this is a bill in congress that would basically allow lobbyists and their corporate sponsors a permanent voice in the US legislature! They will basically codify regionalism! No more excuses about it being “voluntary”.

See the bill here: Summary: S.1904 — 115th Congress (2017-2018)

“This bill directs the Departments of Commerce, Energy, House and Urban Development, and Transportation, the National Science Foundation, and, as appropriate, the Departments of Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Labor, and State to establish the Interagency Council on Smart Cities to promote coordination of the activities and funding from federal agencies related to smart cities or communities.”

Note: A very important update to this article has been made today, 2-15-2018, which is why you are getting a second notice to read it. We actually spoke to the person in charge of Venture Smarter. The man seems not to understand the agenda he is supporting. Please scroll to the bottom of the article to see the update. ~ Editor

Seems that even with Republican majorities in both the NH legislature and US congress we can never be guaranteed that conservative policy will prevail.

Perhaps those Republicans who helped create this group and participated in it, should be voted out.

Take this newly formed Congressional Caucus on Smart Cities

“Venture Smarter is proud to support federal, state, and local efforts to build smart cities and regions across the country. We are especially happy to support the bi-partisan congressional effort led by Congresswoman Clarke and Congressman Issa.”

Doesn’t Darrel Issa know that regionalism is the step toward one world government, which is socialism, and whose political divisions have no regard for our constitutional republic?

Addendum: We spoke with Mr. Zack Huhn from the Venture Smarter group. He claimed his group had nothing to do with Agenda 2030, regionalism or establishing regional governments. Oh really? He stated “regionalism isn’t a word we use”. Oh really?

Linked on the page is this: Smart Regions Congress Leadership Forum He then ironically asked me if I was “familiar with Metropolitan Planning Organizations or Regional Councils of Government”. Oh dear. What does he think their agenda is?

He said he was a “bit confused”. We think he is VERY confused if he thinks his group is not part of this globalist attempt to change how we govern ourselves by changing the political divisions of the country.

So Much for Paris Agreement

Conservatives were justifiably happy when President Trump withdrew the US from the Paris Agreement, in denial of the global warming “threat”.

This of course was merely symbolic as it did nothing to stop the one-world “sustainable” agenda which is firmly embedded into our globalist US State Department. The federal government is thoroughly committed to the UN Agenda, and it can be seen in every agency as well as in our school systems. Through federal meddling and “grants”, this agenda trickles down to our towns and cities.

From the above link:

“In September 2015, world leaders adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs, also commonly referred to as the Global Goals). This bold and ambitious set of goals, the successor framework to the Millennium Development Goals, is universal in nature and focused on driving social, economic, and environmental development outcomes for the next 15 years. In his speech at the Summit, President Obama committed the U.S. to pursuing the goals domestically and internationally. The Department of State is committed to doing our part to make this historic agreement a reality by 2030.”

As we have written before, this is something that must continue to be fought at the local level wherever the feds have meddled in our towns and cities, by virtue of NH’s quasi-governmental “regional planning commissions“.

But now, the President seems to have done a complete 180º turn and has succumbed to pressure from climate change lobbyists.

We were truly hoping this was a hoax, but sadly it is not.

“This past Tuesday, President Trump signed a bill into law that formally recognizes climate change as a national security threat to the United States. While the president has long railed against climate change and advocated for fossil fuels, the Trump Administration and a Republican-controlled Congress have taken a small but significant step towards formally recognizing climate change. Now that this stance has become codified law, the United States will be further pressured to act.”

The group claims that “The newly signed law is a hard-earned result of the bipartisan organizing done by the Climate Solutions Caucus.”

Bad enough, this was part of another bill that increased the government’s ability to spy on citizens: “The climate change provision reached the president’s desk as an amendment to the must-pass, annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Republican leadership attempted to remove the provision from the bill, but were defeated when 46 Republican representatives defected and voted to uphold the provision.”

NGOs Take On Life of Their Own

Nowhere will you find a better display and example of an NGO that has taken on a life of its own as those who have extreme influence over your government. Yes, these are the people who have the MOST influence on what goes on locally.

Meanwhile your liberties are being stolen every day, citizens of this country are too busy engaging in silly partisan bickering over issues that do not matter.

“Curious as to how transportation, public health, civil engineering, art, local governance, cultural identity, and Complete Streets connect? This week we’re thrilled to share our expert line up of keynote and plenary speakers for Intersections: Creating Culturally Complete Streets. They will join over 60 other speakers in Nashville, April 3 – 4, to explore these themes.”

“Smart Growth America and the National Complete Streets Coalition, in partnership with the Urban Land Institute, are excited to feature speakers who have helped shape the national discourse around arts and culture, creative placemaking, and Complete Streets.”

Who are some of the speakers? Behold the nonsense:

Peter Svarzbein: Generate creative solutions for entrenched transportation problems, like Peter’s fake creative guerilla campaign in El Paso, TX and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico that led to real-life change. (NationSwell)

Veronica Davis: Reframe the conversation around biking with sustainability, resilience, and equity at the center. (HuffPost)

Jamie Bennett: Examine where and how to identify artists in our communities and how to foster community development that drives creativity and our local economies. (Ted Talk)

Joseph Kunkel: Foster local ownership and economic opportunity, like Joseph’s work to leverage creative placemaking in rural New Mexican pueblos. (National Endowment for the Arts)

Laura Zabel: Use pop-up art to reimagine community health outreach, like Laura at Springboard for the Arts. (CityLab)

Notice the use of the word ‘plenary’? Where have you seen that before? Yes it’s totally United Nations… and they have total control over your regional planners.

Uber and Lyft in Urbanist’s Sights Again

Once again, State Smart Transportation Initiative (SSTI) has focused on competition they perceive from ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft.

They have already complained that these services take revenue away from public transportation, so is it any wonder they are now also claiming these drivers are responsible for multiple violations?

They will attempt to track data in relation to the use of these services in an attempt to discourage them.

RED ALERT: Bill Would Rein in RPCs (HB 1616)

Bill Would Rein in RPCs (HB 1616)

HB 1616 is AN ACT requiring legislative approval for regional planning commissions to accept money from governmental sources other than the state of New Hampshire or its political subdivisions.

“Before a commission may accept or receive any funds, grants, or services from governmental sources outside of the state of New Hampshire or its political subdivisions, prior approval of the general court is required,” it states specifically.

California’s Bullet Train a Boondoggle

Governor Sununu recently expressed support for a commuter rail and one Republican on the Executive Council made the deciding vote in accepting $4,000 of federal money to conduct a ‘study’ for a commuter rail system in NH.

Tell the Governor that trains are not viable. We’ve posted here before about trains in other states that have gone bust. Here is the biggest one in California.

California’s bullet train (and biggest boondoggle) is over budget by billions
