In Maine, the state\u2019s Department of Transportation cancelled plans for the \u201cGateway Project,\u201d a plan to create unnecessary linkages among 20 communities. Some opponents of the Maine project expressed their belief that the idea stemmed from the overall Agenda 21 planning.<\/p>\n<p>While some Americans now realize that Agenda 21 and its numerous stepchildren pose a danger to their communities and their nation, many more must be made aware. Far more than considerations about the cost and control associated with involvement, the more important overall threat posed by Agenda 21 is loss of independence at the community, county, state, and national levels. The designs of the globalists who are working to seize control of the world \u2014 piecemeal, step-by-step, bite by bite, or however else the process can be described \u2014 must be blocked.
