NH’s RPCs Plan to Lobby for Legislation

The RPCs have expressed the desire to start lobbying for legislation that will give them more power and authority and help them enforce HUD’s vision on our local townships.

An example of enabling legislation, which passed with some of the original language taken out, was SB 11.

SB 11 was sponsored by Sen. Stiles, Dist 24; Sen. Prescott, Dist 23; Rep. Abrami, Rock 19; Rep. Copeland, Rock 19; Rep. Schlachman, Rock 18; Rep. Flockhart, Rock 18; Rep. Lovejoy, Rock 36 who represent Exeter and Stratham.

The first question that comes to mind is, why would Exeter and Stratham need this legislation which “permits municipalities to establish water and/or sewer utility districts and to enter into intermunicipal agreements for the establishment of such districts” considering that the Merrimack Valley Water District has been in existence since 2004 by virtue of RSA Statutes: Chapter 53-A, Chapter 33-B, Chapter 38, and Chapter 362? The towns of Bedford, Pelham, Litchfield, Londonderry, Amherst, Pittsfield, and Nashua are members.

It didn’t take long for this entity to try to usurp property rights from its member towns. In 2005 we saw then Representative Michael Scanlon (R) from Bedford (and then-Chairman of the Water District) file this bill: http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/legislation/2005/HB0572.html

HB 572 could have had dire consequences for homeowners. HB 572 would have allowed the “Merrimack Valley Regional Water District” to take control of the private wells of the residents of these towns by eminent domain.

There is language in the SB 11 that states that by virtue of the general court, water would be “determined” and “declared” a “public” resource — does this mean the state would own all the water in NH, including the water under private property?

The bill also allows for the right of the water “district” to tax property owners within the district. Which property owners might these be? ALL property owners in the district or just those who are hooked into any water processing and waste water treatment plants that might be built?

And what would keep this “district” from levying a tax on homeowners, assessed by the amount of water that runs off impervious surfaces such as roofs, driveways, and walkways as was just done in Rhode Island?

Just as the newly revived Regional Planning Commissions have been viewed as a threat to some property rights, Regional Water Districts seem to be yet another layer of bureaucracy that would add to that threat.

Governor Lynch by executive order, created a WSC in 2011. The WSC recently completed a report that mentions these goals: “review and revise zoning and permitting laws, enable legislation for regional cooperation and cost sharing, involve the federal government, and consider “international” trade agreements”.

And look at this section on Storm Water Utilities – do you smell new taxes here?

“A storm water utility generates funding through user fees that are typically based on the impervious surfaces (e.g., roofs, roads, driveways, parking lots) of each property within the storm water utility district. Storm water utilities are similar to the dedicated municipal funds for public water and sewer utilities. The funding from storm water utilities can be used for catch basin cleaning, street sweeping, storm water infrastructure upgrades, and a variety of other storm water management activities, in addition to the administrative costs of running a storm water program.”

From the WSC Report to Governor Lynch they included feedback:

I wish to respond to the Commission’s request for public comments on its work before issuing a final report. My comments apply to privately-owned wells on privately-owned property used for residential purposes. First, should a recommendation be made that would involve state regulation of, or indeed a state interest in, (a) the amount of use, (b) the timing of use or (c) the purpose of use of water in a private well used for residential purposes, it would be impinging on what most folks in this state view as a basic property right. Many would view it as a “taking” under the eminent domain power. Executive branch implementation of the recommendation would not be tolerated and would no doubt be countermanded by legislative action. Second, a recommendation that private residential well water is somehow a state resource to be used or managed in the interest of all of the state’s residents would be regarded similarly. Third, a recommendation that municipalities establish water- use policies for private residential wells or join with other communities for such regulations would be regarded similarly. No comparable objection would be made to such a recommendation made with respect to public water supplies. New Hampshire is the “live free or die” state. I urge the Commission to tread lightly.

The UN Wants to Manage Your “Human Settlements”

“The National Association of Regional Councils is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization and public interest group that advocates for building regional communities through the representation of multi-purpose, multijurisdictional regional councils (RCs) and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs). These organizations serve local elected officials and community leaders in developing common strategies for addressing complex issues in the areas of transportation, economic development, homeland security and environmental challenges. A recognized authority and leading advocate for regional organizations and solutions, NARC is a unique alliance with representation from local elected officials, RCs and MPOs nationwide. NARC has an active membership, representing more than 97% of the counties and 99% of the U.S. population. Of the 39,000 local governments in the United States. (counties, cities, townships, etc.), 35,276 are served by RCs.”

Yes, these are your unelected, unaccountable, soviet-style top down boards working in conjunction with the United Nations to change New Hampshire’s way of life.

Please read more about the UN and NARCs.

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.

How the Regions Were Created and by Whom

As usual, the Rockefellers and other globalists had their hands in this. Your state isn’t the only thing divided into ‘regions’ for the purpose of destroying local control.

The Ten Federal Regions (1972)

[Editor’s note: This chapter has been condensed. The original text is available at the Author’s website.]

On April 21, 1935, the New York Times magazine published a plan in which the States would merge into new units called Federal Regions that would be controlled from Washington, DC. In 1959, Nelson Rockefeller called for an Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (ACIR), which became a federally-funded Rockefeller think-tank within Congress to prepare a working formula for the concept. The ACIR analyzed information produced by the Public Administration Clearing House (also known as the “1313”) and translated it into legislation to develop regional government, which would usurp the power of the local government.

The Clearing House, located at the Rockefeller-controlled University of Chicago, represented a group of 26 private organizations which had been infiltrating local government agencies to usurp their power and authority. Some of these organizations are: National Association of Counties, National League of Cities, U.S. Conference of Mayors, American Public Works Association, Public Personnel Association, National Association of Attorney Generals, and the National Governors Conference. Their purpose was to train and place a “new administrative class” in every level of government, which would replace elected officials.

On March 27, 1969, as published in the Federal Register, under the direction of his Illuminati advisers [including Nelson Rockefeller] President Nixon announced the “Restructuring of Government Service Systems” plan which called for the merging of the States into eight [later ten] federally-controlled regions.

Executive Order #11647 was signed by Nixon on February 10, 1972, establishing Federal Regional Councils for the “development of closer working relationships between major Federal grant-making agencies of State and local government.” An Executive Order, when decreed by the President, is printed in the Federal Register, and then [unless challenged by Congress] becomes law 15 days later.

This Executive Order was unconstitutional because Article IV of the U.S. Constitution prohibited the merging of the states, and guaranteed a government represented by elected officials. However, regional government was accepted [by the states], because it brought with it “revenue-sharing” funds.

In each of the ten standard Federal Regions, there was to be a Council made up of the directors of the regional offices of [Federal departments and agencies]. The President was to designate one member of each Council as the Chairman. Here is how the ten Regions are organized (with the regional offices in parenthesis):

Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts (Boston), Connecticut, Rhode Island
New York (New York), New Jersey, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico
Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, Virginia, District of Columbia
Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia (Atlanta), South Carolina, Florida
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois (Chicago), Indiana, Ohio
New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas (Dallas-Ft. Worth), Arkansas, Louisiana
Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas (Kansas City), Missouri
Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado (Denver)
Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, California (San Francisco), American Samoa, Guam, N. Mariana Islands, Marshall Islands, Micronesia
Idaho, Washington (Seattle), Oregon, Alaska

In October, 1976, Jimmy Carter said before the National Association of Regional Councils (NARC):

“I believe that regional organizations should be strengthened. If elected President, I intend first to upgrade the role of regional councils representing the federal government to assist State and local officials, as well as private citizens, in dealing with federal agencies … I also intend to encourage the development of regional councils representing State and local governments.”

Carter expanded the Federal Regional System on July 20, 1979 with Executive Order #12149 to “provide a structure for interagency and intergovernmental cooperation … to establish practical and appropriate liaison functions with State, tribal, regional and local officials.”

Each of the ten Councils were made up of a representative from each of the following agencies: Dept. of the Interior; Dept. of Agriculture; Dept. of Commerce; Dept. of Labor; Dept. of Health, Education, and Welfare; Dept. of Housing and Urban Development; Dept. of Transportation; Dept. of Energy; Environmental Protection Agency; Community Services Administration; Office of Personnel Management; General Services Administration; ACTION (Peace Corp., VISTA, senior citizen programs, and other special volunteer programs); Small Business Administration; Federal Emergency Management Agency; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; and the Regional Action Planning Commission. It included over 550 aid programs and block grants. The Department of Education was added later, after it separated from the Dept. of Health, Education and Welfare (which became the Dept. of Health and Human Services).

So, now we see how regionalism was created so that the federal government, already infiltrated by globalists, could gain control over the states. If you read the rest of the page, you will learn how con-cons are used to wield power over the states.

Still think a constitutional convention is a wise thing to do after reading the rest of the source page?

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?

Overriding the Constitution, Obama Plans to Use EPA

Just one more step in the destruction of our economy and the devolution of the United States.

BOULDER, Colo. | EPA chief Gina McCarthy said Wednesday that the Obama administration is finished waiting for Congress to act on climate change and plans to bypass the legislative branch in developing a federal response.

Background Information on Regionalism

For those interested in watching an hour and a half video, here is a good in-depth explanation of where these sustainability ideas originated.

Keep in mind that because the word ‘sustainability’ has gotten such a bad rap (which it deserves) new buzzwords are going to refer to regionalism as being done in the name of ‘economic resilience’.

Who Cares What the UN ‘Declares’?

The United Nations has declared that a human right exists for reliable access to safe and clean drinking water and sanitation which, along with other domestic purposes, accounts for about 7 to 10 per cent of all water use.”

The UN knows that water is currently controlled locally. This is why it is so important to get regional plans installed that will override local control in order to take water rights away from private individuals and put it in the hands of the state.

Therefore they recommend that “Priorities for national–local priority setting include pro-poor tariff structures; national food and nutrition strategies that take into account consequences for water and energy; bioenergy and food production; creating a culture of wastewater reuse and water recycling; strengthening land governance and integrating land use management for effective use of bioenergy by the poor; water and energy savings and reducing non-revenue water and electricity; sustainable management of groundwater; use of salt tolerant food crops, fodder crops and biofuels in coastal and saline affected areas; reducing vulnerability to natural disasters; and reducing pollutants of water and land bodies.”
