Agenda 21 – Biodiversity and Sustainability through U.N. Global and Local Environmental Activism Initiatives – Part I



Written : Feb. 28, 2012


What if the environmentalists organize and create a world-wide movement through the United Nations (U.N.) and recruit local governments to assist them? In order to construct bio-diverse, machine-hostile, and eco-balanced neighborhoods they deem it necessary to gain global consent of dozens of countries. They wish to pass laws which restrict carbon emissions, urban sprawl, halt the growth of roads, and turn the land back to nature and animals - no matter what. “Impossible,” you say? No, welcome to Agenda 21. When I first heard this, I didn’t believe it, either.


Agenda 21, hiding in plain sight, began at a U.N. conference in Rio de Janiero in 1992, referred to as The Earth Summit. The activists held a follow-up meeting every five years, so, they held one in 1997, 2002, 2007, and one is now planned for June 20-22, 2012, in Rio. It is known as RIO+20. The goal of greening the earth – sustaining the forests by planting trees – sounds wonderful. We all enjoy clean air and fresh water - yes, even conservatives do! Protect the atmosphere, combat poverty, sustain agriculture; all supportable aims. That is, until one performs the requisite research on the Internet (I urge you to Google Agenda 21). The sheer amount of information will astound you, I promise!


The implementation plan for Agenda 21 frightens me. Why? I worry because this doctrine upholds “a wide-ranging blueprint for action to achieve sustainable development worldwide.” It urges governmental and other groups to force social and economic changes required for sustainable development. Agenda 21 depends upon “changing patterns of production and consumption,” and approves of community-based partnerships. Sound familiar? If adopted blindly, without thought or care, this program can lead to restrictive laws which will increase business-killing restrictions, squash progress, and limit freedom for individuals. Activists now petition local governments in the U.S. and fight for the right to turn the prosperity of Western Civilization back into the stone age.


The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) partner with and donate money to the implementation of Agenda 21 in America! A five-county community near Asheville, North Carolina (NC) recently rejected their local Agenda 21 initiative. Whew, but this might reach your area soon.


I reject conspiracy theories in general, but Agenda 21 strikes me as worthy of much more scrutiny and research. I agree with safeguarding our earth and preserving it for future generations, but resist the method of implementation chosen by the global environmentalists – brute force - with every fiber of my being. How dare they!


My thanks to Amy Mitchell for bringing this to the attention of concerned citizens.

Carly Fiorina at CPAC 2012 – More Government Is No Longer The Answer – Progressives for Status Quo, Conservatives Fight for the Little Guy!



Written : Feb. 20, 2012


It’s the question for the 2012 election. Do you favor more government, or less? People on the political left don’t trust us, so they always favor more government, more red tape, and more wasteful programs. Perhaps another way to say it is that they like the slow-moving pace of the institution. As Carly Fiorina, former CEO of Hewlett Packard put it, they place their faith in regulators rather than risk-takers. Conservatives lean toward a smaller federal bureaucracy because they believe in people power. We think that you can make a better decision for your family than the system can.


This accomplished woman addressed an audience at CPAC (the Conservative Political Action Committee), on February 10, 2012. She said that only in America is it possible to go from secretary to CEO. She knows, because she did it! She used the power of the individual to succeed, including starting a small business. Instead of dividing us – rich vs. poor, young vs. old, etc., Ms. Fiorina encouraged us at CPAC.


Carly Fiorina reminded us that “ANYTHING can be accessed at ANYTIME by ANYONE from ANYWHERE… For the first time in human history, anyone can know anything.” It reveals a true power shift - away from big – to small. Decentralized authority is the Internet, and it shows us that conservative ideas work best.


I saved the best part for last. She said, “If you looked up the word PROGRESSIVE in the dictionary, you would read words like change, forward motion, advancing. If you look up CONSERVATIVE, you will read opposed to change.” As I point out in my book, and here’s the punch line: She said, “The 21st century and the age of technology have turned these definitions on their head.” Exactly. Yesssss! While liberals claim to support the working class, the 99% of us, progressives actually fight for the status quo, officialdom, the Post Office, and City Hall - while conservatives push to limit government and transfer power to the little guy!

President Obama’s Report Card #3 – Failure – Red Alert – Danger, Will Robinson…



Written : Feb. 13, 2012


We find President Obama, a good family man, but the one president the media decided not to vet, three years into his presidency. We gave him a hopeful chance, and he promised the most open administration in history, with the least corruption - ever. What did he do so far? First, he allowed others to write his Health Care legislation, and with a majority in both houses, they passed it by the skin of their teeth. One must wonder why he concentrated so hard on Health Care, when so many of us needed jobs instead.


The president and his fellow Democrats made deals in back rooms, most notably the Louisiana Purchase. Sen. Mary Landrieu accepted a handout of at least $100 million in federal dollars to her state in exchange for her yes vote. Don’t forget the Cornhusker Kickback; Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson received a bribe - if he voted for the bill, Nebraska’s share would be covered by the other 49 states – forever – and he accepted it! Others reportedly also received money for their yes votes. Rep. Bart Stupak caved because Democrats crow-barred his resistance to the bill. He voted yes in exchange for a promise that the president would issue a weak executive order stating that the bill would not pay for abortions. Why did the president and the Democrats hold closed-door meetings, and exclude the Republicans from the discussions? So much for more openness and less corruption!


President Obama promised to unite the country; yet, his actions and speeches filled with bitter emotion inflamed many and inspired the violent Occupy Wall Street protests. He riled up the poor and divided us by using class warfare rhetoric, previously reserved for left-wing radicals. He often scolded America in condescending tones. The rich must pay their fair share of federal taxes! But, who is rich, how do politicians know what each family can afford, and what is a fair share? We’ve heard many different definitions for the word rich, set at various and arbitrary income levels, but no one knows for sure what it means. His VP compared soaring levels of patriotism to more money given up to government, and yet many poor don’t pay any federal income tax - and many members of the Obama administration cheated on their returns. (So, what does Vice President Biden’s comment really mean?)


From the promised shovel-ready jobs - which he admitted with a sarcastic laugh weren’t really shovel-ready, to the bungled Fast and Furious gun-runner operation, to his failed stimulus, our president failed to deliver. From the Solyndra Scandal, to the discarded Keystone XL Pipeline jobs, to our weakened military, to the czars he appointed – in order to avoid their approvals by Congress - he presided over the most corrupt administration in U.S. history. From his bowing to Saudi kings, his berating America tour, his support of the wildly radical Islamic Arab Spring, the massive debt he accumulated in just three short years, not to mention our limping economy, he failed to lead. From ignoring the Bowles-Simpson Commission’s recommendations, to the steady, high unemployment numbers, his administration is a complete failure.


Even though he used President Bush’s track record, infrastructure, and tools to get Osama Bin Laden, this president deserves an F- grade – so far. Let’s be fair - he has a year left. But, if we give him another four years on top of that, he’ll become even more radical, because he’ll have nothing to lose. If he wins the next election, he’ll wreck America. Just look at what he’s accomplished so far!

No Pipeline for You! - How President Obama’s Keystone XL Pipeline Decision Protects His Ego – But Harms All Americans



Written : Feb. 05 and 07, 2012


President Obama, the energy president, vetoed the job-creating Keystone XL Pipeline a couple of weeks ago. This is the project we hoped would bring Canadian oil through parts of Canada and the U.S. to its terminus at the Gulf of Mexico, for refinement and import into this country – and for sale overseas. At least twenty-thousand jobs plus an estimated 100,000 spin-off jobs - went right down the toilet. What a political and pompous decision. The president threw out profits for American companies because he said House Republicans included a provision in other legislation which required him either 1: to issue the pipeline’s permit or 2: explain by Feb. 21 why building Keystone didn’t fall into America’s best interest. Waaah!


Possibly the most stubborn, self-righteous, and insensitive U.S. president of all-time, he said, "This announcement is not a judgment on the merits of the pipeline, but the arbitrary nature of a deadline that prevented the State Department from gathering the information necessary to approve the project and protect the American people.” For this he punished the U.S. people and their economy. I believe this also fits the unrealistic and illogical environmental activist position that we must not promote the oil industry in any way because someone will, sometime in the distant future, dream up a new, now non-existent, inexpensive form of energy – if we invest $trillions in its research. Yes, it’s the energy of the future – the twenty-third or twenty-fourth century perhaps, but what are we going to do for fuel now? No, not high-speed rail, my days of riding the subway are over!


The consequences of his knee-jerk decision are as follows: Canada will build the pipeline west instead of south – and steer it for the Canadian Pacific instead of the U.S. Gulf. Canada will reap the profits, not America, and the oil will be sold to parts west, including China. Losing to China – again? Oh, well, President Obama doesn’t seem to care. Those wascaly Republicans simply can’t ask anything of him. The president showed them! His sensitive ego is protected, but the American people sure aren’t.
