Codeword for an Entire Economic and Social Agenda

(Text of a presentation at the April 17 Upcountry Tea Party at the Bi-Lo Center)

Tom-DeWeeseI believe the American people, and their every action, are being ruled, regulated, restricted, licensed, registered, directed, checked, inspected, measured, numbered, counted, rated, stamped, censured, authorized, admonished, refused, prevented, drilled, indoctrinated, monopolized, extorted, robbed, hoaxed, fined, harassed, disarmed, dishonored, fleeced, exploited, assessed, and taxed to the point of suffocation and desperation.

America is drowning in a sea of rules and regulations, particularly under the guise of “saving the environment.”

We all know something is very wrong and we are trying to fix it.

Many in America attempt to fight against one issue or another as they try to understand what is happening to their country.

But most fail to see the whole picture and are being crushed under a well-organized “divide and conquer” tactic that keeps them reeling from crisis to crisis.

First, we’ve been terrorized into accepting that human society is on the brink of extinction because of man-made global warming.

We’ve been warned that, unless we take drastic action to reverse it - then islands will disappear, whole cities will be destroyed and polar bears will drown.

But evidence is growing daily that the charge of man-made global warming is the greatest hoax every perpetrated on the human race.

In fact, the ever-growing Climategate scandal is now proving beyond doubt that man-made global warming was invented without scientific fact.

So, if your local elected representatives are now supporting climate change legislation because of a genuine concern for the environment, then they should be greatly relieved to know that true science is showing more and more evidence that there is no man-made global warming and, in fact, a natural cooling period has begun.

An overwhelming majority of scientists are now telling us that investigative research shows any warming actually stopped in 1999. And that warming was caused by sun storms - not man.

That’s it. Done. Crisis over. Man is not to blame. Hurray! The nation should be rejoicing.

No need for expensive green cars, mercury-filled light bulbs, no government-enforced alternative energy, no special energy taxes, no extra government oversight committees - and no need for a Climate Czar.

We can drill American oil and end our dependency on foreigners who hate us.

And it will help us to stop funding terrorists.

We are free. The environment is not in crisis. Rejoice! Rejoice!

That silence you hear is the news media, which refuses to report what any skeptic has to say.

That silence you hear is the complete ignorance on Capitol Hill where Congress continues trying to force passage of the worst legislation in the history of the United States - Cap and Trade -completely ignoring what science is now proving - that global warming is a hoax.

.. .And that silence you hear is from global corporations which have bought into Al Gore’s lie and invested heavily in the promised green economy.

Why do they continue to promote a lie?

Excuse to enforce Global Governments

Because the issue of global warming never was about protecting the environment.

It’s nothing more than the excuse to enforce global governance on the planet by creating a new global economy based on the environment rather than on goods and services.

Cap and Trade will throw out the old system of a free market based on goods and services and operate on the idea that CO2 is a pollutant. It’s not.

In short, it’s all about wealth redistribution. Your wealth into a green rat hole.

During the Cold War, communists tried to get us to surrender our liberties and way of life for the wisdom of Karl Marx.

Americans didn’t buy it.

But now, they have taken the same clap trap and wrapped it all in a nice green blanket, scaring us with horror stories about the human destruction of the environment - and so we are now throwing our liberties on the bon fire like a good old-fashioned book burning ~ all in the name of protecting the planet.

It sounds so friendly. So meaningful. So urgent.

But, the devastation to our liberty and way of life is the same as if Lenin ordered it.

Today, we have a new language invading our government at all levels.

The typical City Council meeting discusses “community development,” “historic preservation,” and “partnerships” between the city and private business.

Civic leaders organize community meetings run by “facilitators,” as they outline a “vision” for the town, enforced by “consensus.” No need for debate when you have consensus!

Free trade, social justice, consensus, global truth, partnerships, preservation, stakeholders, land use, environmental protection, development, diversity, visioning, open space, comprehensive planning, and community service are all part of our new language.

The language is being changed and manipulated to quietly implement a very destructive policy. One outlined in a UN soft-law document called Agenda 21, first revealed at the UN’s Earth Summit in 1992.

The working name is Sustainable Development.

Rather than good management of resources, Sustainable Development has come to mean denied use and resources locked away from human hands.

In short, it has become a code word for an entire economic and social agenda.

Interestingly, it is not a Republican or Democrat issue. It’s not liberal or conservative. It is being implemented on a purely bipartisan basis.

It is the official policy of the federal government, every state government, and nearly every city, town and county in the nation.

Private Property

is incompatible with sustainable devel-

opment

So what is Sustainable Development?

Sustainablist policy focuses on three components; global land use, global education, and global population control.

Private property is incompatible with the collectivist premise of Sustainable Development.

And, according to Sustain-ablists, it is a social injustice for some to have prosperity if others do not. It is a social injustice to keep our borders closed. It is a social injustice for some to be bosses and others to be merely workers.

By the way, Karl Marx was the first to coin the phrase “social justice.”

The fact is, Sustainable Development is the process by which America is being reorganized around a central principle of state collectivism using the environment as bait.

Maurice Strong, Secretary General of the UN’s Rio Earth Summit in 1992, said, “...Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class - involving high meat intake, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and work air-conditioning, and suburban housing are not sustainable. “

So how is this wrenching transformation being put into place?

There are four very specific routes being used.

wildlands project

First, a policy called the Wildlands Project literally calls for the “re-wilding” of 50% of all the land in every state - back to the way it was before Christopher Columbus set foot on this land.

It’s a diabolical plan to herd humans off the rural lands and into human settlements.

Crazy you say! Yes. Impossible? Not so fast.

But how do you remove people from the land? One step at a time.

Push back livestock’s access to river banks on ranches. When the cattle can’t reach the stream, the rancher can’t water them — he goes out of business.

Lock away natural resources by creating national parks. It shuts down the mines — and they go out of business.

Invent a Spotted Owl shortage and pretend it can’t live in a forest where timber is cut. Shut off the forest. Then, when no trees are cut, there’s nothing to feed the mills and then there are no jobs, and — they go out of business.

Locking away land cuts the tax base. Eventually the town dies.

Keep it up and there is nothing to keep the people on the land - so they head to the cities. The wilderness grows.

It comes in many names and many programs. Heritage areas, land management, wolf and bear reintroduction, rails to trails, conservation easements, open space, and many more.

Each of these programs is designed to make it just a little harder to live on the land - a little more expensive - a little more hopeless.

smart growth

The second path to Sustainable Development is called Smart Growth. After they herd you into the city, they have more plans for you in regimented and dense urban communities.

They put a line around the city and tell you no growth can take place outside that line. Urban sprawl, they say disdainfully.

They refuse to build more roads as a ploy to get you out of your car into public transportation, restricting mobility.

Because there is a restriction on space inside the controlled city limit, there is a shortage of houses, so prices go up.

That means populations will have to be controlled, because now there is a shortage of land.

ngos

The Third path to Sustainable Development is a new form of government controlled by an elite ruling class called stake holder councils.

These are mostly Non-governmental organizations, or NGOs, who, like thieves in the night, just show up to stake their claim to enforce their own private agendas.

The councils are unelected, but all powerful. They are controlled by a small minority with powerful international connections.

These councils fit almost perfectly the definition of a State Soviet: a system of councils that report to an apex council and then implement a predetermined outcome.

Soviets are the operating mechanism of a government-controlled economy.

And that’s what every community in America is marked to become under the enforcement of Sustainable Development.

public/private

partnerships

The fourth path to Sustainable Development is Public/Private Partnerships.

Many PPPs are nothing more than government-sanctioned monopolies in which a few businesses are granted special favors like tax breaks, the power of eminent domain, non-compete clauses and specific guarantees for return on their investments.

That means they can use the power of government to put competition out of business.

And PPPs are taking over highways and local water treatment plants in communities across the nation.

It is not free enterprise, but a Mussolini-type fascism that will only lead to tyranny. And it’s all driven by the Agenda 21 blueprint of Sustainable Development.

Local communities are now being targeted by international forces. Here’s how.

In June 2005, the UN invited mayors from around the world to attend the World Environment Day conference in San Francisco.

As part of their participation, the mayors were pressed to commit to specific legislation and policy goals by signing a slate of UN accords. Two documents were presented for the mayors’ signature.

One of those documents signed by the mayors was called the “Urban Environmental Accords.”

One of the most egregious action items offered in that document dealt with the reduction of water consumption.

The UN document begins by stating: ‘’’’Cities -with potable water consumption greater than 100 liters per capita per day will adopt and implement policies to reduce consumption by 10% by 2015.”

You must be aware that 100 liters is equal to about 26 GALLONS per person, per day. According to the UN, each person should have less than 26 gallons each day to drink, bathe, flush toilets, wash clothes, water lawns, wash dishes, cook, take care of pets, and more.

But, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, Americans actually need about 100 GALLONS per day to perform these basic life functions.

The use of the 100 liters number versus 100 gallons is a direct attempt to mislead and actually cut water use by 75%.

Other items dictated that the mayors ban, tax, regulate and control valuable items and industries necessary to provide the tools we need to maintain our society and standard of living.

Many Americans ask how dangerous international policies can suddenly turn up in state and local government, all seemingly uniform to those in communities across the nation and around the globe.

ICLEI guiding

elected officials

The answer - Meet ICLEI, a non-profit, private foundation, dedicated to helping your mayor implement Sustainable Development.

Originally known as the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI), today the group simply calls itself ‘’’’ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability. “

In 1992, ICLEI was one of the groups instrumental in creating Agenda 21.

The group’s mission is to push local communities to implement Agenda 21 policy that restructures our representative form of government through global and non-elected regional government. Of course, ICLEI uses Global Warming and environmental protection as the excuse.

I have a list of 544 American cities in which ICLEI is being paid with tax dollars from city councils to implement and enforce Sustainable Development.

Here in South Carolina these communities include: Charleston, Columbia, Spartanburg, Sumter and Greenville.

Right here in Greenville, ICLEI is being paid dues from your tax dollars, as they teach your local representatives how to set up non-elected boards and councils that will dictate policy over your property, industry, and families - and you will have no say in how they operate.

When ICLEI comes into your town it organizes like a well-oiled machine, using Access to a network of “Green” experts, newsletters, conferences and training workshops for staff and elected officials.

And, of course, there’s Money-grants from federal, state and private sources - all with severe strings attached to enforce Sustainable Development policy.

And here are some of the consequences once those programs and policies are enforced:

•  High-density housing scams

•  Traffic congestion by disallowing the building of roads

•  Open Space where access is not allowed

•  Government “partnering” with favored private business and non-profit agencies, using your tax dollars

• Mismanagement of public utilities

• Prohibitions on natural resource management and private properly restrictions

•  Increased taxes, fees, regulations and restrictions

In Oakland, California, such Sustainable regulations are forcing every single homeowner to comply by forcing them to put on new roofs, replace appliances and windows to meet strict energy use standards. The average cost per homeowner is estimated to be at least $35,000.

ICLEI and others are dedicated to controlling your locally elected public officials to quietly implement an all encompassing tyranny over every community in the nation.

The United States is not a global village run by elders who hand down the rules from on-high. We are a nation of governments elected by the citizens.

There is supposed to be discussion, debate and disclosure so that all citizens know where, when and why a law or regulation is being presented - and then we are to vote on it.

However, global forces which do not accept the unique American form of government sneak behind the curtain, avoiding controversy and honest debate.

The only possible result can be the tyranny of a powerless electorate stripped of their rights, property, and self-determination.

Mayors across the nation must be clued into the fact that ICLEI and its ilk are not their friends, rather the purveyors of a self-made crisis hysteria using fear rather than truth to impose their agenda of top down control. Sustainable Development.

In the name of conservation, we are experiencing a wrenching transformation of our nation, into what can only lead to a new dark ages of pain and misery.

As we rally here today, we must understand that we can never restore the Republic and control government if we ignore the issue of Sustainable Development

No matter how many rallies and tea parties you may have... No matter how many people you bring out in protest...

No matter how determined you are to change things in America, you will never make a difference while ICLEI is hiding down in the bowels of City Hall, turning your own community into a little soviet.

You must address this threat head on.

Understand that the main battle is being fought, not in Congress, but on the local level. Right here.

Stop efforts to create regional governments and leave your political boundaries alone.

Above all, refuse federal or state money or new sustainable programs and get rid of the old ones.

And as ICLEI is now running things in your town - throw them out! Demand that your City Council stop paying them dues, disband anything they have built and start looking for some high grade tar and feathers.

Nameless, faceless bureaucrats wielding power in the backrooms, untouchable and unseen, is not freedom.

We must understand that the so-called environmental agenda is based on lies and deceit - that Sustainable Development is truly a Trojan horse for a policy of tyranny and that it is the exact opposite of limited government, free enterprise and individual liberty.

Together, if we stand vigilant, if we stand by our principles -because we are right - we can - and we will - take America back.
