Annalee Newitz: Death-Proofing / Designing Future Cities – Agenda 21-Style Solutions - Part III

You may only live here... and not there - because ‘we’ say so...
You may only live here... and not there - because ‘we’ say so...

On the popular call-in program, Washington Journal, host Greta Brawner asked guest Annalee Newitz on June 5, 2013, “What is the role of government in safeguarding the cities…preventing the mass extinction of urban areas?” As President Obama has said, Annalee replied that we must invest in research to eliminate our dependence on fossil fuels and heavily polluting materials (not a bad long-term goal, by the way - if the investment doesn’t break the bank). But she also wants governments to use ‘better’ city planning – as laid out in great detail by the authors of the United Nations’ Agenda 21. Why is that scary? Partly because those who have hijacked the environmental movement have specified how large your home should be (you don’t need so much room, you glutton!) and exactly how much lighting is “just enough.” How dare they?


To protect ‘biodiversity,’ you may not leave your city.
To protect ‘biodiversity,’ you may not leave your city.

One way for humans to survive, Annalee says, is for them to move underground. Why would that happen? She uses arguments employed largely by the left. Radiation disasters, no doubt from an evil nuclear power (the U.S.!), or caused by right-wing war (how can war be conservative?), or even an industrial accident (those evil corporations)! Gamma rays from a nearby star (also proposed), although low, sounded like a higher probability to me.


Do your descendants a favor.
Do your descendants a favor.

Newitz admitted that high-density areas leave open the possibilities for pandemic diseases. The fix? In that case, everyone must get vaccinated. Not only must they do this for themselves, they must do so for their neighbors. Sounds like communitarianism to me. One caller actually brought that up, but she pooh-poohed it. Annalee, who probably means well, also said that these engineered cities need to be social organisms. They would care for the people in them, right down to jobs, health, and feeding them. Can anyone say, “nanny state?” As the Agenda 21 planners say, Annalee repeated that these cities will need to have farms (not suburbs) around them. She even uses the Agenda 21 terms, “urban sprawl” to describe suburbia, and “city centre” to direct us to what we now call the downtown. In addition, these high-density areas would contain skyscraper farms containing solar-powered greenhouses, some with every floor this way. Paid for, how?


Save mankind from tyranny.
Save mankind from tyranny.

Out of the way baboons, the U.N. knows a better way. Cities need to be flexible. Have to. This is a phrase, like must, used by those who insist on a solution. Generally, it’s their way – or the highway… Living underground sounds scary, but, don’t worry, earth-sheep! Annalee Newitz says that even though your cities would have vines everywhere and scarred bridges (from smart, self-healing materials, of course!) on the outside, your high-tech stuff, like the Internet and your beloved cell phones would still be there, inside. (Don’t believe for a second that those tyrants would be benevolent dictators.) Her book is titled, Scatter, Adapt, and Remember – How Humans will Survive a Mass Extinction. What a strange dream…unless we let the U.N. and the bullies push this horror on us. In that case, consign your descendants to a life they want them to live.

Annalee Newitz: Death-Proofing / Designing Future Cities – Yes, It’s Agenda 21 - Part II

Annalee Newitz wrote a book about the future called, Scatter, Adapt, and Remember. Optimistic about our survival, the author, according to reviews, proposes ways we can overcome a mass extinction. That’s better than fine. You might not believe this, but I applaud those who think about the years to come and propose solutions.


Scatter, Adapt, Remember
Scatter, Adapt, Remember

However, Newitz’ June 5, 2013 Washington Journal appearance revealed a bit more. She echoed many of the plans the United Nations has for the world’s population. If they could only control you, they would solve the world’s largest environmental issues, including: overpopulation, hunger, global warming (CO2 poisoning), and species extinctions. The world would be such a better place if unimportant and irrelevant you had no say in its future… Yikes, if only I were making this up! Welcome to U.N. Agenda 21. (I dare you to Google “Agenda 21” – go ahead. However, it is not really voluntary, as many claim. Pay special attention to how they want to change consumption patterns… but I digress…)


io9.com
io9.com

Annalee’s website is: io9.com. As they say on Red Eye, check it out, check-it-outers. With host Greta Browner, Newitz discussed the biological city, mentioned the bio and alternative fuels, “that might be grown, in and around cities.” 50 years from now – but only if we use bio materials – “cities would look a lot [like] the way they do now.” (What if we don’t use bio materials?) She speculated that unsafe bridges would heal themselves by producing scar material. I don’t see how that could make a structure safer, but that’s just me, I guess. Cities 150 years out might be covered in vines or algae. (Remember President Obama’s comment about algae?) These genetically modified plants would provide fuel, food, water purification, and lighting. So, instead of burning nasty “fossil fuel to have your lights on at night, you might just have algae that glows.” She says the science is here. Really? Then why is no one using it?

Stay tuned for part III, here next week.

Annalee Newitz: Death-Proofing / Designing Future Cities – U.N. Agenda 21 Reborn

Written : June 12, 2013

Regardless of your political affiliation, please ‘like’ From the Left to the Right’s Facebook Page

Annalee Newitz
Annalee Newitz

Annalee Newitz wrote an article recently, published in Discover Magazine and partly found online (you have to pay to see it all), about the future of cities. She appeared on Washington Journal on June 5, 2013 to speak about it. Newitz doesn’t talk about traditional growth, however. Annalee says, “…we’ll probably convert urban spaces into biological organisms.” No, these are not edible cities, but places where bridges repair themselves and show evidence of healing through scarring. “The biological city could provide us with food and energy security for millennia to come.” Her article is entitled, How to Death-Proof the Cities of the Future. It’s based on her book, Scatter, Adapt, and Remember – How Humans Will Survive a Mass Extinction. Ms. Newitz speculates that “the whole planet may be about to enter a new phase of mass extinction,” and most of these have been caused by climate change. So, here we go again… “The evidence is mounting…” she says. What evidence? Climate change (I just said that!), of course, which is the environmentalists’ new, more politically correct term for man-made Global Warming. More evidence for you, she says, is that so many species went extinct over the last 200 years. I’m not making this up!


Learning about Agenda 21
Learning about Agenda 21

Newitz, a likeable personality, is a futurist to be sure, and is generally thoughtful when it comes to mankind's future. However, with regard to worldly disasters she appears in almost every way to support the United Nation's Agenda 21, the environmentalist's master plan for changing human society into a single communitarian state. Keywords are "sustainable" and "smart," among others. Listen for them.


Agenda 21 – The Trojan Horse
Agenda 21 – The Trojan Horse

”Cities are a place where most people will be living over the next, coming centuries..." Environmentalists (and others) are rooting for this. The U.N. estimates that by 2050, 67% of the world’s populations will be living in cities.” Remember, Agenda 21, comes from the U.N. They created this rigid plan for the 21st Century in the late 1980’s, for your descendants to live where the rule-makers want them to live – in cities, where they can be more easily manipulated and controlled. It must be our immediate goal to focus on cities, she says, “if we want to see the future of humanity progress.” Like most proponents of Agenda 21 and the new, radical environmental movement, she seems to think that if we don’t force people into cities against their will, we will regress, and, as we know, that simply is not true.


The city is a process, according to Annalee Newitz.
The city is a process, according to Annalee Newitz.

Ms. Newitz then concludes, as do urban planners through Agenda 21, that “we need to be pushing our cities toward being more survivable.” This means preparedness, such as for natural disasters. That sounds okay. But then she tells us we must change the materials we make cities out of, like self-healing, or smart materials. As you recall, Agenda 21 calls for more smart growth. It took less than four minutes for her to utter the word, “sustainable,” the mainstay of Agenda 21.

U.N. Agenda 21, Sustainable Development - Revealed on Bret Baier’s Behind Obama’s Green Agenda


Written : Oct. 30, 2012


I thought you might want to read about something other than the U.S. presidential election, but next week you might not be so lucky!

When you hear about the United Nation’s Agenda 21, please listen. It’s a concept which sprouted with the rise of the green movement on Earth Day I (April 22, 1970). The simple, altruistic, and harmless idea asked how we should best care for our environment and embrace mother earth. We all buy into this, but, as humans tend to do, many of us over-analyzed and distorted the original intent. Now there are over 20 years of U.N. and other documentation (available on the Internet) on how to mold the planet and push people around to fit an environmental utopian fantasy. With the assumption that global warming is caused by nasty humans, the thought is to herd people into cities (called settlements by the master planners), and slowly strip their property rights away. Set up a system of high-speed rails and eliminate automobiles. Reduce mans’ carbon footprint by decreasing the human population (but, how?)! Tear down the developed nations’ wealth (likely some of this belongs to you, my reader) and re-distribute it to poorer nations. The proponents want to educate students in the public schools to align future generations with awareness of what they call sustainability. My father said once that Communism in America would be possible if we only would “educate the masses.” Anything is possible, I suppose, when people either don’t think for themselves, or they are brainwashed.

If you don’t believe me, please Google the phenomenon yourself. Don’t use quotes and do include your town, state, the numbers 2020 and 2035, RTP/SCS, and the word sustainability. An example might be: 2035 2020 sustainability plan RTP/SCS Long Island, NY. You’re looking for what they call sustainability plans, a general plan or strategy for the future of your area, sustainable communities, or a transportation or rail plan. If nothing appears in the results, substitute the names of several large cities in your state, instead of your town. You will be amazed! Investigate. Read the plan. Follow the links. Warning: You might be busy for a very long time.

FOX News, the only station capable of producing an honest report on this subject, did so recently. Bret Baier, a news correspondent, hosted such a show, called Behind Obama’s Green Agenda. And, there’s a book I’ve already written about called Behind the Green Mask: U.N. Agenda 21, by Rosa Koire, so the broadcast caught my eye. Baier’s show, already on You Tube, was only broadcast a scant number of times, but you should know about it. (The segment I refer to in the link I provided above begins around the 21st minute (21:22), so slide the bar to the right to match this time.) It reveals one college education program which sought to alienate students from American culture, defining racism as only possible by whites. This curriculum taught that our society is based upon white supremacy. My concern, and that of others, is that this has nothing to do with the environment – as originally intended. It is, instead, a political, Marxist agenda, being taught under the guise of open-mindedness. Although this course terminated due to protests, other universities may be incorporating efforts which push political agendas like it.

Feel free to write in (comment on this blog post) and let me know what you think, and what you find out! Please do not comment without Googling…

U.N.’s Agenda For the 21st Century – Very Interesting, But Disturbing


Written : July 8-10, 2012


I'm no expert on the transparent and gigantic U.N. Agenda 21 movement yet, but from my research so far, it sounds like a wonderful idea. Save the world for future generations, they say. How can anyone argue with that? However, while reading ICLEI and many other documents supporting the idea of changing the world for the benefit of those not yet born, I feel sick, and I think I now know why.

Carbon dioxide, this movement says, is a poison and must be purged from our environment via incredible reduction goals with no regard to how this is to be done. It features a subtle push to indoctrinate our descendants into a supreme worship of the United Nations and its sustainability culture – over and above patriotism for one's own country. The Agenda for the 21st century, like many far-left radicals, assaults superior nations' successes as evil, militaristic and violent, material, and too focused upon production and consumption. It counts on local governments and their power to suggest in detail, how to rearrange society and its infrastructure, for what they believe is in the best interests of mankind. Those most convinced of business' propensity to pollute must ask, "Who the heck are these people, what is at the heart of their desires, and why do they know best?" In other words, "They are not the boss of me," and, "Who put them in charge?"

The environmentalists believe in empowering the U.N. as a global government, over-regulating and threatening personal freedoms (such as property rights) for the relentless purpose of reducing earth's carbon footprint. Sorry, I pledged my allegiance to America, and, much as I love her, not to Mother Earth. I think that carbon dioxide is a gas and not a threat, and that global warming is not man-made, but a blip in the climactic ups and downs of this planet.

This movement is socialist in nature, favoring in every respect, the community over the individual. For that alone I must oppose it – although I assert that their goal, of maintaining the earth for the future - is a respectable one. We hear the lie every day: Conservatives support dirtier air and water. No, we don't. But we don't like to be forced into doing anything, and as Americans, we all like our freedoms and choose over and over again to protect them.

Many on the right call Agenda 21 a conspiracy and a power-grab, but, although it might be both, I choose to resist those temptations - at least for now. I'll try to dig deeper into Agenda 21 and report back to you what I find. If you find yourself curious, please check out the Agenda 21 links provided in this blog post. Each one will link to others. The amount of information on the web is enormous, so a handful of links will get you started. After you get started, Google: Sustainability [your city], [your state] and if they are implementing or plan to implement Agenda 21 in your area soon, you will find out.

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.
