Thirty-One States Fight Clean Water Rule

(CN) – Attorneys general from 31 states asked the Environmental Protection Agency and Army Corps of Engineers to delay implementation of a Clean Water Act rule for at least 9 nine months for judicial review.

The rule defines “Waters of the United States” under the Clean Water Act. The states claim it asserts federal jurisdiction over streams, wetlands and other water bodies previously considered to be under state jurisdiction.

The EPA cited the need for clean drinking water and clean water as an economic driver as the impetus for its new rule, and Supreme Court rulings in 2001 and 2006 in which justices disagreed about which waters were covered by the Act.

“About 117 million Americans – one in three people – get drinking water from streams that lacked clear protection before the Clean Water Rule,” the EPA said in a May 27 statement about the new rule. “The health of our rivers, lakes, bays, and coastal waters are impacted by the streams and wetlands where they begin.”

Local Governments Now Being Nationalized

In what appears to be adherence to the goals of the Rockefellers, Obama and his community organizer mentors hold the view that the cities suffer because of taxpayer flight to the suburbs.

This past week, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued a long and convoluted final rule, entitled “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing”. This rule sets out the new terms and conditions which all local governments will be required to meet if they receive federal funds to advance their local housing programs.

Every state county or municipality organization should think long and hard before taking a dime in HUD money. Otherwise, they face the feds schemes of forced integration and redistribution of the wealth.

UN Housing Goals a Threat to Freedom

Just in case you still wondered what the unelected boards known as Regional Planning Commissions were doing in NH…

As we have written about before, Obama hopes that by imposing the “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” Rule he can social engineer your neighborhood.

A final Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) rule due out this month is aimed at ending decades of deep-rooted segregation around the country. “HUD is working with communities across the country to fulfill the promise of equal opportunity for all,” a HUD spokeswoman said. “The proposed policy seeks to break down barriers to access to opportunity in communities supported by HUD funds.”

However, we maintain that HUD cannot simply make a ‘rule’ such as this without congressional approval.

HUD’s ‘rule’ is rooted in the UN’s push for Agenda 21 goals under the guise of ‘sustainability’.

But the idea that an ad hoc NGO such as “Placemaking” which comes out of the UN would have any say in how our cities are built is preposterous. Nevertheless, they hold conference after conference, compiling endless decrees about how countries must comply with their utopian ideas of where and how people should live.

The United Nations Habitat conference on housing and sustainability (Habitat III) is one such conference. The UN says this conference “will set the goals and pace for place making in developed and developing countries…”

These decrees can be seen in numerous documents such as the 2016-2030 Sustainable Development Goals which aims to ‘to provide by 2030 universal access to universal access to safe, inclusive and accessible green spaces and public spaces’.

“…the UN Habitat III preparation papers suggest, this ‘involves a systematic (re)distribution of the benefits of growth or development with the legal frameworks that ensure a level playing field’.”

Most thinking people believe that the UN has no right to tell people in the USA (or anywhere else for that matter) how, where, or with whom we can live. It’s called FREEDOM which seems to be a concept that is totally lost on these unelected agents of Agenda 21.

Created Water Crisis Used to Promote Agenda 21

If you don’t think this type of social engineering is going in in New Hampshire, you haven’t been reading this blog. Here are some blatant admissions by the planners.

It is no secret that California is undergoing a water crisis. Many believe this to be a ‘created’ crisis, accomplished by the use of the chemical manipulation of the weather.

Scientists agree that water is NOT a finite resource, and like oil, it is constantly being created in the ground by the earth.

Snippets of videos of various meetings show city planners selling these ideas:

– We want to create islands of settlements that are characterized by mixed use zoning
– We want to limit your right to own pieces of property with tracts of land
– We want to limit your ability to travel out of those designated settlement areas
– We want to limit your use of cars, and want you to be able to walk anywhere you need to go
– We feel you have too much space in your homes and must share with others
– We need to equalize neighborhoods that are too rich or too homogenous in race
– We cannot let people do what they want…

Obama and HUD: Coming to Your Town Soon

Obama wants to use HUD to ‘diversify’ your neighborhood.

UPDATE: YouTube videos from Gary Gileno (“grindall61”) are excellent and show the problems with the proposals by the regionalists. This video in particular talks about how HUD will equalize your neighborhood. Please subscribe to all grindall61’s videos. There are others about transit, water shortages and every other deception being put upon us in the name of Agenda 21.

This is not new news, we’ve reported on it before, but finally some MSM outlets are talking about it.

Too white? Too black? Too wealthy? Too poor? Never fear, HUD is here, and is going to use that GPS mapping, and demographic information you gave them on the American Community Survey in 2010 to reassign and rezone.

If this sounds like the Soviet Union, it’s because it is.

Ask the Presidential Candidates

Here are some issues that never seem to come up when voters question their candidates.

In New Hampshire where we can get to meet each candidate several times before voting, here are some suggested questions.

1. Private property rights are under assault in communities and rural areas across the nation as local, state and federal governments move to enforce new planning development programs, particularly under the labels of Sustainable Developments or “Local Visioning.” If elected, what actions will you take to protect the unrestricted right of use, enjoyment and disposal of private property by its owners?

2. It’s a growing situation that local elected representative government is being overshadowed by the establishment of non-elected boards, councils, planning commissions and regional governments. These non-elected organizations are, in effect, taking government further away from the people as they deal in backrooms, unseen and unapproachable. Yet, while not elected by the people, they are creating policy that affects private property, tax rates and much more, especially through the taking of federal grant money, which results in federal control over the use and outcome of that money. If elected, what actions will you take to eliminate these massive grant programs and to stop federal efforts to enforce creation of non-elected boards, councils and regional government boards?

3. The term social justice is used more and more in today’s official society. The actual meaning of social justice is redistribution of wealth, much of which is imposed through the tool of political correctness. Social Justice is used to create class warfare and divisions in our society. It is now widely used in our public school curricula to replace actual academics with behavior modification methods designed to change the attitudes, values and beliefs of the children. The openly stated purpose of such programs as Outcome based education and Common Core is to create new global citizens who reject traditional American values of individual freedom, free enterprise and limited government. Such curriculum is enforced through a centralized Federal Department of Education, which has usurped local input. If elected, will you take action to shut down the federal Department of Education and return education policy to the states, making sure to end these orchestrated attacks on the attitudes, values and beliefs of the children?

Wildland Corridors to Trap People in Cities

Planners admit this is the goal of ‘sustainable cities’ with no access outside of their boundaries. Planners assert that people will learn to love their containment because there will be a ‘coffeeshop on every corner’.

Agenda 21 In Your Public Schools

We are posting these links without comment except to say that Agenda 21 critics have been accused of creating a ‘conspiracy theory’. The UN has a vice-grip on your federal government and it greatly influences the mandates which come from there. The issue is ‘out’ and is undeniably real.

Another Land Grab in the Making

While citizens are being herded into compact cities and steered away from rural lands, the government is taking more of those lands for itself.

Continuing its pattern of bypassing Congress and acting unilaterally through administrative fiat, the Obama White House in February designated three new areas as “National Monuments.”

While two of the designations — one in Illinois, the other in Hawaii — involve relatively small parcels of land, the designation of 21,000 acres of Brown’s Canyon in Colorado represents a significant federal lockup of land.
