Urbanism and Sustainability and the Origins of the Idea

For those of you who still think the UN is a toothless organization that does not have plans for every aspect of human life on this whole planet, please peruse their websites. Even one small part contains vast amounts of panels and commissions, treaties and resolutions, recommendations and goals, for everyone.

For example, from “Global Forum on Human Settlements” — “Although the common goals of improving quality of people’s life and achieving urban sustainable development are clearly set, yet the actual implementation and realization of “The Future We Want” remain a daunting task. How can Rio+20 decisions be best implemented? Each country and each city will have to draw up an appropriate plan for sustainable development in line with its own needs and get all the stakeholders involved. A greater degree of international information exchange and cooperation will be essential to meet the challenges ahead.”

In conclusion, they state that “The benefit of convening the conference is to motivate and encourage more countries, more enterprises, more organizations and the public to actively participate in the practice of building sustainable cities and achieving sustainable transport systems, to inject vigor for the realization of the livable city, smooth transport system, clear water and blue sky, to provide positive energy for the realization of each one’s dream for a livable home and the healthy growth of future generations.”

This is interesting since they seem not to care about the global spraying program that clouds our sunny skies and causes aluminum poisoning in living things and crop death and destruction.

From Road Grants to Education

Back when Regional Planning Commissions were created by our NH legislature it was done to make sure each town had a say in how federal highway money was spent.

Now regionalism seems to be taking away local control in every area of our lives.

NH Families for Education outlines that fact in a post on their website: From Independent Districts to Centralized Planning via Regional Control Centers

In the post it is noted that “Transferring control over our schools to non-government agencies violates the US Constitution, Art. 4, Sec. 4: “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government.” Also known as “Taxation without Representation.” These educational changes also violate the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” The federal government bribes states to “voluntarily” adopt these programs. Follow the money.”

Education is being dictated by the federal government with input from NGOs, professional ‘associations’ and corporate globalists pushing their agendas via groups such as the Gates and Annenberg foundations.

When will the residents of NH have had enough of this?

Just Say NO to Forced Regionalism

The UN said that urbanisation is now “unstoppable”.  Anna Tibaijuka, outgoing director of UN-Habitat, said: “Just over half the world now lives in cities but by 2050, over 70% of the world will be urban dwellers. By then, only 14% of people in rich countries will live outside cities, and 33% in poor countries.” 

The UN thinks regionalism is unstoppable but we have other ideas.

The Names Will Change But the Goals Remain the Same

This post is a preview to an upcoming article on how some changes are being made in the way Agenda 21 will be implemented in the United States. Here is a quick outline of what is to come.

– The UN has been attempting to erase all references to Agenda 21 on their website. Due to the vast number of pages involved, this may take forever. Agenda 21 is now a household word and it’s not looked upon very favorably. The public is catching on.

– The UN has also decided that the term ‘sustainability’ has gotten an equally bad rap. So they have dissolved their United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and focused their attempts to spread ‘global governance’ by creating two new commissions which would work under the premise of ‘economic resilience’ with the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). Who can argue against economic resilience?

– At the same time, the head of the UN’s ECOSOC Tweeted the real reason this must be done: more ‘global governance’ is needed in order to better redistribute the wealth. We have no idea what this type of social justice has to do with sustainability, but that is how these bureaucrats think.

– Right on cue, the US State Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has issued a notice stating that since Sustainable Communities Initiative grants were not funded in this year’s budget, they would still be included, but under the Office of Economic Resilience (OER)

– The APA, a non-governmental association of planners including unelected regional commissioners to whom they dictate, announced the changes on their website.

Anti-poverty, economic, all of this is no coincidence.
