AGENDA 21 – Ending Liberty in America

Great article by buddy AJ at the NoisyRoom Please read! M~

Long Island City Housing Projects

The picture above represents the kind of structure we’ll soon be herded into – you, me, our families – everyone in America. Well… everyone except the powerful politicians and elites who are working to corral us into these government housing tenements. The streets will be replaced with trains and the cars will be gone.

Unbelievable you say? You think it’ll never happen? The planning is going on right now in your community and in every region throughout the United States. This is Agenda 21. This is what they mean by Sustainable Development, Smart Growth, ICLEI (International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives), etc. It’s already embedded into the general plan of every community. The transformation will be complete within 25 years and it’s funded with our tax dollars and funds from George Soros and Van Jones’ radical left organizations like OSI, the Tides Foundation, Apollo Alliance and Green For All.

This video contains a graphic simulation which reaffirms that Agenda 21 will change the way we live:

Masdar Initiative – Worlds First 100% Carbon Free Community AMAZING!

Notice during the Masdar presentation, the narrator uses statements like “a compact, high density city” (i.e. people packed tightly together), “the unique design of its walled city” and “one day, all cities will be built like this.” Don’t be fooled by the slick computer graphics; we know the government won’t be building slick futuristic cities for us. But they will be packing us in tightly and cutting off our ability to travel beyond the confines of our new tenements. They’re telling us exactly what they have planned for us.

The United Nation’s (UN) Agenda 21 publication is meant to be complex so that it will be difficult to wrap our brains around its contents to envision how it will affect us. They want it to be hard for us to communicate it to others so that we can’t work together to stop it. Many people unfortunately focus on the “global warming” and environmental aspects of the plan to the point of creating a mental barrier that prevents them from truly understanding where Agenda 21 is taking us in our everyday lives.

Many people don’t realize that 77 – 84% of us live on just 3% of America’s land area. Only 16% of us live in rural areas. 95% of America’s land is rural and there are vast areas that are underdeveloped.

Agenda 21 is not a Republican or Democrat issue; it is a Progressive Marxist globalist plan from the UN that’s supported by the global elites – some of whom we know (George H.W. Bush and other Progressive Republicans, Barack Obama, Hillary & Bill Clinton, Al Gore,George Soros, Maurice Strong, Van Jones, Richard Trumka, Andy Stern, etc.)

Agenda 21 is supported by past and current Presidents and the long-time “establishment” politicians in Washington D.C.; it’s being implemented by our state and local governments and city councils, some of whom are blindly following orders without knowing where all this is really leading. When Progressives hear us talking about Agenda 21, they ridicule us in an attempt to get us to shut up and sit down. The evidence is available and the UN promotes it openly, but Progressives won’t talk about that part.

You might be thinking Agenda 21 is too complex and there’s no way it’ll be fully implemented. Not so. It’s already being implemented and my goal is to provide information which shows some of the ways they’re getting us there. To describe how this works, it is presented below in the form of seven questions and answers.

First question: How will they get us to buy into such a radical transformation of our way of life? How will they get us into these government housing tenements?

Answer: Social Justice. They’re already infiltrating our churches and indoctrinating our youth so that their agenda will have momentum with easily influenced and impressionable kids and adults. We’re well aware that Progressives have been pushing the Social Justice mantra and making it sound altruistic, but what does Social Justice really mean and what does it look like? They won’t tell us, but Al Sharpton told his congregation. Listen closely and really think about what he’s saying. “The dream was to make everything equal in everybody’s house.”

Al Sharpton: We Won’t Have True Social Justice Until Everything is Equal in Everybody’s House

So you see… herding us into government tenements equalizes everyone’s “social class” by making everything equal in everybody’s house. Social Justice is achieved when your home is just like mine and everyone else’s. It doesn’t mean we’ll all have a nice home; it means we’ll all be stacked and packed into homes that are the same – “equal.” Van Jones describes the social equalization of Social Justice too.

Van Jones ~ Definition of Social Justice

Another mantra is Global Citizen. Sounds cool, doesn’t it? The sheeple who are buying into this will have a rude awakening when global governance is instituted and they experience what it’s like living in third world conditions, losing all freedom and becoming enslaved under an international totalitarian regime.

For the past 2 years we’ve heard Progressive politicians tell us that a home, a job, food and healthcare are “rights.” If they can establish those things as “rights” granted by the government, they will have the power to tell us what home, what job, what and how much food and what healthcare we’re entitled to receive. History shows that totalitarian regimes already did this and it led to the murder and starvation of 135 million innocents, but public schools won’t teach this to our children. Nor will they teach them that our U.S. Constitution gives us inalienable rights granted by our Creator so that no man, no government, can ever take them away from us. That’s why Progressives have to change our Constitution.

Second question: What about our right to own property? They cannot take private property from its rightful owner, can they?

Answer: Yes, they can and they are. Laws and Executive Orders have been enacted and many people are already losing their property through eminent domain, greenlining and oppressive environmental regulations which make it cost prohibitive for them to comply or legally fight it in the courts. The relative few who are able to fight and win are throwing a monkey wrench into Agenda 21, but until Progressives can eliminate our property rights altogether, they’ll keep tightening the noose.

Again, we’ve noticed all the recent talk about our Constitution being outdated and in need of a re-write. Notice that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, owned by our Federal Government, are accumulating nearly all home mortgages and foreclosures in America. Our government has over 3,000 public housing agencies in the U.S. and Fannie and Freddie already instituted a ‘Deed to Lease’ program whereby homeowners turn their deed over to the government and rent their property from the government. Slowly but surely, they’re already taking possession of private property. And under Obama, they’ve been buying up land at break-neck speed.

Obama just enacted EO 13575, bringing the full weight and power of the entire Federal Government to bear as they begin to tighten the squeeze on 16% of our population who live in rural America. Why? They need to vacate those people so that they can take over all rural areas in America.

Third question: If a person doesn’t have a mortgage because they paid off their house/land, won’t they be safe?

Answer: The goal of our government is to make it cost prohibitive for you to hold onto your land. Whether they fight you through eminent domain, skyrocketing property taxes or regulations that are too costly for you to comply with, they will do whatever is necessary to exhaust your financial resources so that you’re left with no choice but to eventually walk away from your property.

Another tactic at their disposal is a “man-caused disaster.” That’s right. They could flood your land in order to displace you and then swoop in and offer you pennies on the dollar to take it off your hands. Hey, wait a minute… they’re already doing that. Yes, George Soros is already buying up the farm land that the government flooded when they exploded the dams in our heartland. Slowly but surely and through whatever means necessary, they will continue to make progress in acquiring the vast majority of all land in America – of which they already own at least 40%.

Fourth question: You mention food, healthcare and a job for everyone; isn’t that a good thing?

Answer: In short, food and healthcare will be rationed; you’ll receive only what they allow you to have. Your job will be what they tell you your job is.

For example, have you wondered why Michelle Obama has made it her mission to change the way we think about food despite the fact that so many of our daughter’s suffer from eating disorders because they won’t eat? She’s preparing us for food rationing by nudging us away from the foods we may enjoy most, while at the same time using the full weight (pardon the pun) of the White House to strong-arm those who sell food into limiting our choices. Mayor Bloomberg’s ban on salt fits nicely into their plan to recondition us. And wasn’t it Michelle Obama who said, “We are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversations; we’re going to have to change our traditions, our history.” Separately, these things don’t seem like much, but when you know the agenda that’s at work, you’re able to see how these things fit into the overall plan.

Exclusive footage: Police raid organic food stores

Healthcare rationing has been taken care of with Obamacare and the 15-member panel of bureaucrats who will decide what care we will and won’t receive. And it’s no accident that Obamacare also cuts half a trillion from Medicare, enabling the start of rationing for our elderly in 2014.

Jobs will be assigned by the government and many of us will work to provide the food, healthcare and maintenance of the tenements that’s needed to sustain ourselves and those in our city. I’m sure we won’t be doing these jobs to earn a paycheck. We’ll do them in exchange for the food, home and healthcare they permit us to have. If we object, they’ll withhold those things from us and our family until we no longer object.

Fifth question: That’s slavery. How can they possibly keep us under control and prevent us from protesting?

Answer: Why would our President need a national civilian security force? To keep us under control. If this seems unbelievable, ask yourself: “Why did Obama say this?” He said it, not us.

Obama Civilian Security

Sixth question: If they get us into these tenement cities and keep us there, what will they be doing?

Answer: Here’s my guess… all my research and the use of good common sense tells me that they’ll be harvesting the bounty of natural resources that exist in abundance right here in America. Oil, natural gas, water, you name it. Using workers from other countries, they’ll be extracting our natural resources and selling them to the highest bidder on the international market. They’re already establishing Foreign Trade Zones, selling off our land to China and Russia, and granting citizenship through the EB-5 visa program so their laborers can work in our country.

Meanwhile, we’re aware that Obama’s working to collapse our economy, de-industrialize our country, and weaken our military and civilian defenses. Those are certainly essential components to achieving the goals and objectives of Agenda 21. Bring Americans to their knees and they’ll cry out to government for help. We already know the framework they’re putting in place, so they’ll usher the rest of us right into it.

There are other important aspects like monitoring our communication, rationing our energy usage, education, and population control that I haven’t yet touched on, but my goal in this article is to enable you to envision what their plan is and how they’re getting us there through things they’re already doing. Please do your own research; you’ll see that these things are truly happening and, as Progressives do, they make it available for us to see if we choose to look. Agenda 21 isn’t a theory and it’s not a conspiracy; it’s out in the open and being put in place. Item 2 below even shows you the kind of dog and pony show they put on in communities to get your buy in… so they can say the people in the community agreed.

Seventh question: What can we do to stop this?

Answer: Learn as much as you can, get involved locally and tell your neighbors.

1. Go to this website to learn more; some communities have been successful in stopping it locally. Many, many more are needed: http://www.freedomadvocates.org/

2. Watch this video which shows how people respectfully thwarted the “buy in” that their community Agenda 21 program was seeking from them: ONE BAY AREA: “AGENDA 21″, the UN’s diabolical plan comes to the San Francisco Bay Area

3. Watch this presentation to learn more; environmental issues are addressed that provide good information. Keep the Agenda 21 end-game in mind as you watch it in order to use the information in the most helpful way to communicate with others. Taking Liberty

4. Watch this video of a liberal Democrat who is speaking out and working hard to stop Agenda 21: How your community is implementing AGENDA 21

5. Ask every presidential candidate whether they will stop Agenda 21. We need an answer from all of them. (Michele Bachmann is the only candidate who stated that she will stop Agenda 21).

6. Get involved locally and run for office if you can. Educate the people in your local government so they can help stop this.

7. Spread the word about Agenda 21 and organize within your community.

Stop New Bill (HR2749) Gives FDA Unheard-of Power over Small Farmers, Food and Supplement Producers

A new, long-awaited food safety bill is now before the US House of Representatives. It is the Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009, or FSEA. Introduced by Reps. Henry Waxman (D–CA) and John Dingell (D–MI), the FSEA is meant to address food safety concerns. But as you will see, much of it is not about food safety at all. Food safety issues have arisen from large agricultural operations. But this bill places its harshest burdens on small food producers and supplement producers.

Take Action and let your Representative know you DO NOT support this bill

The Food Safety Enhancement Act:

• gives the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) unprecedented scope, authority, and power over small farmers, food producers, and supplement producers, including the power to use vague language to intimidate and threaten;
• imposes unjustifiably harsh criminal and civil penalties for even administrative violations; and

• places undue economic hardship on small and mid-sized farms and food facilities (both organic and conventional), which could easily drive many of them out of business, and lead to monopoly control of food by large corporations.

Also known as the Waxman–Dingell bill, the Food Safety Enhancement Act has a number of provisions that would directly affect many of AAHF’s members. Although much of the bill’s language is vague—and, some worry, deliberately deceptive—it is clear that the FSEA provides for the following:

Sharply increased criminal and civil penalties for violations of FDA regulations.
The penalties include prison terms of up to ten years (jail time is currently capped at three years), and fines of up to $100,000 for individuals and $7.5 million for corporations, regardless of their size. The kicker is that these penalties are potentially applicable no matter what way you violate the FDA’s rules.
The application of those penalties to any food, drug, device, or cosmetic that is knowingly "adulterated or misbranded."

To our ears, “adulterated” means that it doesn’t meet good manufacturing practices, that the food itself is somehow tainted or injurious to health, or contains an ingredient that presents a significant or unreasonable risk of illness. And “misbranded” suggests deliberate misstatements about the efficacy of a product.
In FDA-speak, however, these words take on completely different meanings. For example, a food or supplement may be “adulterated” if some vague FDA rule is deemed by the FDA not to have been followed. “Misbranded” can mean that the producer makes a completely true statement about the product but without FDA permission. A cherry producer who cites peer-reviewed scientific research from prestigious universities on the health benefits of cherries would, in FDA-speak, have engaged in “false” and actionable “misbranding” which suddenly turns the cherries into drugs. Producers, of course, have the right to take cherries through the new drug approval process! In this and other ways, the FDA already censors science and quashes constitutionally protected free speech.

In this new bill, any violation of the new administrative requirements could make a product adulterated and/or misbranded. That is, an administrative violation (such as not keeping records exactly as required) that harms no one carries exactly the same penalty as a violation in which a product is adulterated during the manufacturing process and poses a significant risk of illness or ends up killing people.
The dramatic increase in jail time and fines will make supplement production an even riskier proposition than it is today. Supplement producers have to put some information on the bottle. They try their best to satisfy FDA rules, which can only be described as gray, not black and white. Now if they get it wrong in the eyes of the FDA, the potential penalties will be extremely severe.

Many on Capitol Hill are under the impression that the bill pertains only to food, but the FSEA language specifically names supplements as well, and this will have a huge potential impact on any small company brave enough to continue their manufacture and sale.

Large companies will probably be unaffected because they can afford the extensive legal staff needed. Moreover, the FDA does not try to put large companies with political clout out of business, much less put their executives in jail. General Mills (the manufacturer of Cheerios) was recently cited by the FDA for an unapproved health claim, even though the company was reporting good science. Under the new bill, General Mills could be fined $7.5 million, but based on past FDA performance this would be unlikely. If a tiny company were cited, the exact same fine would be applicable and the likelihood of being exacted would be much greater.

FDA control of farming standards and practices
Many people on Capitol Hill seem to believe that farms are exempted from the FSEA’s scope. That is false. On the contrary: the bill would empower the FDA to regulate how crops are raised and harvested. It puts the FDA, which knows nothing about farming, right on the farm, dictating to our farmers. Specifically, it allows the FDA to set “scientific and risk-based standards” for the use of fertilizers, harvesting and processing methods, transportation, etc. Any non-compliance means the food is to be considered “adulterated” (with fines of up to $100,000 per individual and $7.5 million per corporation, and a jail term of up to ten years).

For example, based on both its public statements and its record, the FDA is vehemently opposed to the consumption of raw milk (even in cheese) and would like to ban its distribution. If HR2749 becomes law, the agency would have much greater scope to go after raw milk than it did before, particularly targeting raw milk producers whose products cross state lines.

Raw milk is just one example. The FDA can decide that it doesn’t like anything under this bill. And we can be sure that large producers will have easy access to the agency to explain why competing products from small producers should be banned.
Moreover, the bill would give the FDA the power to order a quarantine of a geographic area. Under this provision, farmers markets and local food sources could be shut down, even if they are not the source of the contamination. The agency could halt all movement of all food in that geographic area.

The language is incredibly vague and does not distinguish between industrial-sized operations, organic farms, or smaller operations—the FDA could easily use its new authority to set requirements that only large corporate farmers can meet. While farms are exempt from some sections of the FSEA legislation, they are explicitly included in this all-important section. Smaller farmers who can’t meet the new FDA requirements will simply go out of business, unfairly creating monopolies for the huge corporations. We believe the FDA should not have this kind of authority over farms at all, but this one-size-fits-all approach has significant economic implications and could destroy a sustainable farm trying to comply with an inappropriate commercial standard.

An unequal burden for smaller and local food facilities
A food facility—defined as any factory, warehouse, or establishment that manufactures, processes, packs, or holds food—must, under the new bill, register and pay an annual registration fee of $500 (and that fee would be adjusted upward with inflation). Although farms and restaurants are exempt, the agency has defined “farm” narrowly, and people making small batches of foods such as lacto-fermented vegetables, cheeses, or breads would be required to register and pay the fee, which could drive start-up and small producers out of business during difficult economic times. A flat fee that does not take into account the size of the facility is good news for giant agribusinesses, but may represent a serious economic burden for some smaller companies struggling to make ends meet. How could the FDA think that the same fee (and penalties) are as appropriate for Mom-and-Pop operations as for ConAgra?

Moreover, FSEA provides for mandated electronic registration, which may be an issue for smaller producers, and is certainly a problem for Amish farmers, for whom the electronic filing requirement violates their religious beliefs. Failing to register a food facility would constitute “misbranding”; violators—you guessed it—would be subject to fines of up to $100,000 if the business is individually owned, $7.5 million if corporately owned, and/or ten years in jail.
Warrantless searches by the FDA

Under the bill, the FDA will have full authority to conduct random, warrantless searches of all records dealing with any aspect of a company’s production, manufacture, or distribution process. Under current law, the FDA only has access to records if it has “a reasonable belief that an article of food is adulterated” and presents “a threat of serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals.” Under the FSEA, however, the FDA has access to all records, at any time, and without any evidence whatsoever that there has been a violation. Warrantless searches are a powerful weapon of intimidation and harassment.

The bill also extends FDA’s authority to access records of a farm and restaurant—both of which are exempt from FDA’s reach under current law. Even farmers selling direct to consumers would have to provide the federal government with records on where they buy supplies, how they raise their crops, and a list of their customers.

The FSEA also gives the FDA complete control over recalls, seizures, detentions and quarantines—with no judicial oversight. For example, FSEA lowers the standard FDA must meet in order to conduct an administrative detention. Currently they must demonstrate “credible evidence” that a food presents a health threat before an administrative detention is allowed; the FSEA standard is “any reason to believe that an article of food is adulterated, misbranded, or otherwise in violation of this Act.”

Burdensome administrative requirements, including a new food tracing system
The FSEA requires all facilities, farms, and restaurants to implement new hazard analysis and risk-based preventive controls, food safety plans, and an extensive record maintenance program—again, without taking into account the differences between small facilities and large commercial facilities.

The FSEA also mandates an extensive food tracing system for all farms, or facilities that produce, process, or transport food, even if the food does not cross state lines, though at least “direct sales by farms” (i.e., sales directly to stores, restaurants, or consumers) are exempt—which means that most vendors who participate in a farmer’s market would not be affected. Each person in the production, manufacturing, processing, packing, transportation, or storage chain must “maintain the full pedigree of the origin and previous distribution history of the food” and must “establish and maintain a system for tracing the food that is interoperable with the systems established and maintained by other such persons.”

The bill does not explain how far the traceback will extend or how it will be done for multi-ingredient foods. With all these ambiguities, it's far from clear how much it will cost either the farmers or the taxpayers. Small farms may find this trackback system costly and time-consuming.

If the FSEA passes, only big businesses and large corporate farms will matter
With FDA having such vast control, authority, and access, globalization and harmonization of food quality is a step closer. HR2749 does not make any allowances for small- to mid-sized farms or facilities, which could mean economic ruin, closure, or dependence on large corporations or foreign food supply sources.

Let’s say you’re a small organic farmer, and you have a roadside stand on your own property. If this bill passes, you would now have to follow federally established standards for growing your produce, or your food would be considered adulterated. You could not, of course, say anything about the scientific basis for organic produce being healthier than conventionally farmed produce.

Further, you would be required to make your business records available to FDA inspectors. The inspectors would have the power to show up unannounced without a warrant to search your records without any evidence whatsoever that you have committed a violation of the law. If you refuse to let the inspector see your records, you would be guilty of adulteration.

If you’re a farmer who sells products direct to consumers, you would be forced to give the FDA any customer information you have in your records. No more customer privacy. Should you refuse, you’d face up to ten years’ imprisonment. The civil fines could be up to $100,000 if you’re an individual or $7.5 million if you incorporated your family farm as a business.

There is one bright note in a rider to the bill: HR2749 at least imposes a deadline on the Secretary of Health and Human Services to notify Congress by December 31, 2009, of the final determination on the safety of BPA (Bisphenol A) in food and beverage containers.

Please take action immediately!

We need every concerned American to contact his or her congressional representatives immediately and ask that HR2749 be defeated or, at the very least, amended.

More Good Reasons To Eat Organic... Helps Weight Loss

The hormones in dairy, meat, and poultry raise estrogen levels, which can cause you to hold onto body fat. The pesticides on nonorganic fruits and veggies also inhibit hormonal activity in the body, leading to weight gain.

Another no-no: Anything that’s processed or packaged, since it’s often laden with preservatives and salt.

Eat as simply as possible—for example, have just a plain chicken breast sautéed in a little lemon juice to add some flavor.

If at all possible buy your produce at a local farmer's market or health food type of store... but even better, start your own garden!
