A very good summary of the goal of regionalism.
Have you checked your town’s master plan lately?
Do you still think the feds should be ‘checking up’ on local government to make sure towns are providing affordable housing, and if not, forcing them to do it?

Agenda 21 / 2030 is not just about property rights, housing, transportation, water, and energy, etc.
Agenda 21 / 2030 seeks to control education and use it to mold the minds of children into acceptance of the UN’s globalist ideas. So even though this website is not education-oriented in particular, please pay attention because everything that is happening in American education today seeks to serve the very same UN goals, often referred to as the MDGs or the SDGs.
Is your child’s school..
– encouraging education summits where United Nations promoting speakers present ideas to transform education and turn students into “global citizens”?
– providing teachers the School Retool training they need to “hack” problems and “shadow” students so that in 5 to 10 years all North Dakota schools will be “re-imagined”?
– pushing schools to use Project Based Learning that has no empirical proof it works and may take 10 to 15 years to see results?
– implementing personalized learning which is all computerized?
– using the Next Generation Science Standards under which evolution and environmentalism dominate science instruction?
– still using Common Core standards, only re-branded?
– requiring students to be “Choice Ready” by 2030 which involves students choosing a career path that aligns to the global workforce and the College and Career Readiness Standards?
If so, as a parent or taxpayer, you need to attend your local school board meetings and SPEAK UP!
Ever wonder what they mean when they say ‘smart city’? It is likely that there are many things in your town’s master plan that aspire to this, and you need to know.
“A growing number of metropolitan areas are being shaped by “Smart” City policies. Bloomberg Philanthropy’s “What Works Cities” aims to bring these programs to mid-size cities as well. Even in communities without explicit “smart” initiatives, “innovation” or “empowerment” zones are being proposed, often around school districts, enabling outside interests to sidestep existing legal and contractual protections under the guise of “autonomy” and “flexibility.” I hope the information I’ve pulled together will reveal how “smart city” and “learning ecosystem” interests often intersect and encourage others to think critically about similar programs in their communities. It is important to consider digital classrooms as nodes of smart cities. Classrooms touch the lives of many, and thus are logical places to begin normalizing the idea that as citizens it is our duty to generate and hand over massive quantities of personal data that will supposedly shape policy for the “public good” and manage our economy.“

Will “Smart” Cities Lead to Surveilled Education and Social Control? [Slide Presentation and Text]
Next time your town or city wants to impose a ‘roof’ or ‘driveway’ water runoff tax, you will know where the idea originated.
Tell your local officials to stop doing the bidding of the APA and the UN!
“UN agencies have reviewed the impacts of forestry and hi-tech irrigation technologies on water and are urging governments and other responsible actors to resolve conflicts, and take control of water resources and allocations.
The World Water Council has issued its 2016 report, which calls for mainstreaming water in a variety of global agendas, including infrastructure financing, climate action and sustainable development.”

The United Nations Technocrats says that educated people consume a disproportionate amount of resources, and are therefore unsustainable by definition. Long live stupidity and ignorance. ⁃ TN Editor
Senior leaders of the United Nations gathered recently to continue plotting the future of globalized pseudo-education, which they said must be imposed on every child on the planet to advance the UN’s radical plan for humanity known as “Agenda 2030.” Speakers at the so-called “High-Level Event on Education,” including Muslims and communists, all agreed that UN-led “education” was the key to realizing their globalist goals.

Certain factions here and abroad have been pushing for an Article V Convention which would open up the US Constitution to ‘changes’. What those changes would entail is anyone’s guess, but here is something you might expect many of those groups to be pushing for.
I am sure there are many Americans who have no idea nor care what “The Draft International Covenant on Environment and Development” (DICED) is. They should. The Draft Covenant is the “Environmental Constitution of Global Governance.”
https://portals.iucn.org/library/efiles/documents/EPLP-031-rev3.pdf
The first version of the Covenant was presented to the United Nations in 1995 on the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary. It was hoped that it would become a negotiating document for a global treaty on environmental conservation and sustainable development.
The fourth version of the Covenant, issued on September 22, 2010, was written to control all development tied to the environment, “the highest form of law for all human activity.”
The Covenant’s 79 articles, described in great detail in 242 pages, take Sustainable Development principles described in Agenda 21 and transform them into global law, which supersedes all constitutions including the U.S. Constitution.
All signatory nations, including the U.S., would become centrally planned, socialist countries in which all decisions would be made within the framework of Sustainable Development.
Bill Clinton originally helped the UN-connected ICLEI get established in the U.S., and is leading the pack in pushing cities to personally adopt the Paris Climate Agreement in spite of Trump’s rejection. This divide and conquer strategy will further rip the Constitution. ⁃ TN Editor
Mayors are uniquely positioned to help the United States rise above divisive tribalism since the last global financial crisis that uprooted social and economic arrangements, former President Bill Clinton told the U.S. Conference of Mayors 85th annual meeting on Saturday.
Trouble is, Clinton is suggesting Mayors violate the Logan Act which forbids them to support agreements with foreign countries directly.
ICLEI is teaching U.S. mayors how to commit treason by leading them to obey agreements with foreign entities. President Trump withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement but at least 267 cities have rebelled in support by stating that they would obey its dictates in spite of him. ‘ICLEI and its network’ is a presumptuous statement where ICLEI claims some kind of ownership of these cities. ⁃ TN Editor
The national government of the United States has walked away from international climate action by announcing its intention to withdraw from the Paris Agreement — ICLEI and its network has not.
ICLEI is the only local government network that is accredited as observer at the three Rio Conventions, namely UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) under which the Paris Agreement was adopted; the UN Convention on Biodiversity (CBD); and the UN Convention on Desertification (UNCCD).
ICLEI actively participates in the negotiation and implementation of international climate issues under these Conventions, representing the local and regional perspective.
The Paris Agreement is the continued formal recognition of the key role of local and sub-national governments in tackling climate change following the COP16 held in Cancun in 2010, where this was first achieved. The Local Governments and Municipal Authorities (LGMA) Constituency at the UNFCCC, led by ICLEI as constituency focal point, have been instrumental in this achievement.
This just in from “Smart Growth America”, a NON-governmental entity that directs states and localities on transportation policies and other ‘sustainable’ policies.
For the past several years Smart Growth America has been helping state departments of transportation improve safety and reliability, preserve their assets, and accelerate project delivery to expand economic opportunity and create healthier, more livable communities.
Our Innovative DOT program has worked with state DOTs in Florida, Vermont, Hawaii, Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, and Tennessee. And over those years, we’ve released three editions of The Innovative DOT: A handbook of policy and practice, one of the most comprehensive guides available for DOTs committed to innovative excellence, in partnership with the State Smart Transportation Initiative (SSTI).
Now, I am excited to announce a new partnership that will take this work to the next level. As of today, we are merging our state transportation work with SSTI to create a unified home for innovative transportation strategies. Like other projects we run in collaboration with partners, SSTI will join the family of Smart Growth America programs.
The SSTI team will bring a wealth of knowledge to our work, particularly to our technical assistance engagements with states and localities. Their expertise in transportation policy will improve our work assisting communities with planning decisions.
We will be delivering new workshops and creating new resources under the new joint SSTI banner, and as one of our subscribers we look forward to sharing those with you. If you would like to stay informed about this work in detail, you can sign up for our state smart transportation mailing list.
We are incredibly excited about this new partnership and warmly welcome the SSTI team to our work. We look forward to collaborating together.
Sincerely,
Geoff Anderson,
President and CEO,
Smart Growth America
Do you really want this well-funded lobby — funded by grants from YOUR TAX DOLLARS telling your towns and cities what to do about transportation??? Because that is all they are… lobbies.
