Concerned About Northern Pass?

Do you think the Concord area is worth protecting from outdated transmission towers and lines? Do you want to know more before it’s too late?

You’re invited…

to learn about the Northern Pass proposal, how the project would impact Concord neighborhoods and the rest of the 190-mile proposed route… and what you can do to influence decision makers in the coming weeks.

What: A Northern Pass Informational Session

Who: Hosted by the Society for the Protection of N.H. Forests and the Appalachian Mountain Club

When: Thursday, Sept. 24, 6:00 – 8:00 PM

Where: Mill Brook Elementary School multi-purpose room, 53 S. Curtisville Road, Concord

Why: Northern Pass’s latest proposal to build an electric transmission line to carry hydropower from Quebec through New Hampshire calls for burying just about a third of the 190-mile line. That means the towns and cities — including Concord — along the remaining two-thirds of the route still would have to sacrifice views and landscapes for the benefit of a private corporation.

We think that’s wrong, and we’d like to show you why. Please attend the informational session this Thursday night to become informed about the proposal.

To see news stories, op/eds and more information about Northern Pass, please visit our Northern Pass pages and blog at http://www.forestsociety.org/np

For more information about the information session, please call 224-9945.

Silvio O. Conte Wildlife Refuge

This is a message from former NH State Representative Anne Cartwright

Dear friends and concerned landowners,

I have information on the expansion of the Silvio O. Conte Wildlife Refuge by the US Fish & Wildlife Service in large parts of our state. This plan to expand, for which I was sent notifications as landowner in the proposed expansion, includes MA, CT, Southern and Northern areas in VT and NH. I am including links to maps of areas in NH and VT for which you might have an interest. The first 2 maps help to show the huge area that this will encompass. The 3rd link is to the home page for the entire document.

Also I am including a couple of links to more detailed maps of a few of the towns and
property within the plan.

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’.”

Read what one of these ad hoc NGOs has to say:
http://newstartmag.co.uk/your-blogs/placemaking-must-be-framed-by-fairness-and-equity/

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.

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’.

This Could Be New Hampshire

Think it can’t happen here?

Regional planners have planted the seeds of this kind of thinking into the minds of our legally elected local boards. The idea that water should be owned by the state and taxed, is an ongoing theme. Just ask Dover NH.

“Revenue generated by a stormwater utility can be used as a new, dedicated source of funds to supplement or replace the community’s current stormwater management funding, enabling tax-based funding to be used for other community needs.”

That said, in a water rich state like Oregon, NH could similarly come under the same regulations and people could be fined and jailed for doing things they have been doing for generations.

“Collecting rainwater on your own property can now lead to jail time, as proven by a man from Oregon who was just sentenced to prison for doing just that. Who owns the rain? The US government, apparently, now. Not so long ago, it was common practice across much of the world to collect rainwater into man made wells on your property as a means of farming, irrigation, and having fresh clean water. It was just as common as canning your own food, having knowledge of at least some basic survival skills, and being self-sufficient.”

Another RPC is Born

Another regional group that reaches across states has been formed. This is the 10th RPC basically.

Northern Borders Regional Commission

Grant funding to be announced shortly.

The Northern Borders Regional Commission (NBRC) was created as a federal-state partnership under legislation approved in the 2008 Farm Bill, with the aim of addressing economic and community development needs of severely distressed areas in the Northern Forest region.

The NBRC’s target area includes 36 counties across these four states, including 14 counties in New York, six in Vermont, four in New Hampshire and another 12 in Maine.
NBRC provides assistance for projects in these seven priority sectors:

– Basic public infrastructure;
– Transportation infrastructure;
– Telecom infrastructure;
– Workforce training and business development;
– Renewable and alternative energy sources;https://ui.constantcontact.
– Resource conservation, tourism, recreation and preservation of open spaces; and
– Health care and public services in distressed communities.

The federal government is regionalizing the states and the states are regionalizing the towns. We must stop the creation of more top down governance without your input, mostly influenced by international groups and NGOs, in favor of de-centralization and more local control.
