America
and the World’s ‘death knell’ – The Green Campaign
We’ve all heard it hundreds of times over the last few
years “green is universal,” especially in 2009 with the heightened celebration
of Earth Day in April. Well, readers, this is the benevolent ‘wolf in
sheep’s clothing’, the harbinger that is here and preparing to install
the final cornerstone in the foundation of the New World Order, that Father
Bush first disclosed to the world in 1990.
Playing on the public’s empathy and providing the
opportunity to belong to a worthy cause, that helps save planet earth was the
consummate vehicle to convince the naive, good-willed populace, that what they
are sacrificing is good for them and the world. Under the cover of a
communist, Marxist and thoroughly socialist “green” campaign, which is
officially the U.N.’s Agenda 21 also referred to as “Sustainable Development,”
your land and all other forms of property will be relinquished to the state,
everything you eat and drink will be rationed and you and your family will be
herded into an overcrowded zone designated for humans and placed into a
less than ample living area sparsely furnished to live out the remainder of
your now piteous life. Your children will be owned lock, stock and
barrel, by the state since your once proud parenthood has now been reduced to a
limited “caretaker.” So long as you raise ‘their’ children according to
the state, they will be left in your care until they reach the proper age
requirement to begin working for your same taskmasters.
Find all this just a bit too hard to swallow?
Unable to fathom that these Draconian laws and compounded rules and
restrictions will be enforced on decent Americans, especially you and your
family! Hang on, it gets worse.
This devious, nefarious and utterly evil plan will result
in the final transfer of our nation’s wealth (yours and your family and
friend’s cash, property and assets) into the greedy coffers of the elite Jewish
oligarchy who overwhelmingly rules America with and iron fist. Gentile
humanity will be reduced to a demeaning status in the grand scheme less worthy
than plants and rocks.
What you are about to read is Tom DeWeese’s recent speech
disclosing this heinous agenda in alarming detail. After you’ve read it
please forward to everyone you know. Urge your friends and family to do
the same. We have to expose this information right now while the window
of opportunity is still open. Also, print the speech and deliver it to
your local politicians. We must pressure them to investigate and stop the
ICLEI (International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives) from setting
up shop in your town if they haven’t already done so.
There is precious little time left for patriots who
believe in the principles of freedom and liberty. Halting this criminal
enterprise can be done if DeWeese’s words are heeded. Starting today, be
an impact for goodness and decency that will begin saving our nation and
restore the Republic.

The Wrenching Transformation of America
by Tom DeWeese
[Ed note: this speech was
delivered in Kalispell, Montana and Spokane, Washington to County Republican
Lincoln Day dinners in late March. This editor attended the Spokane
presentation. The speech caused a firestorm in Spokane, resulting in a battle
with the local city council over it’s partnership with ICLEI and radical
environmental policy. One elected official said DeWeese had exposed too much –
as he walked out on the presentation. The battle goes on today.]

April 22, 2009
Too hot to handle
Ladies and
gentlemen, I’ve come a long way to get here and I have such a short time to be
with you. So, let’s just get everything out on the table right now, shall we?
I 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.
Tonight, I’m going
to try to give you at least a peek at the all-encompassing, gut wrenching
national transformation that we face — and, hopefully, help to lift the veil of
confusion.
To put things in
perspective, here are some questions every American should ask their elected
officials – especially those supporting “climate change” legislation.
If it is proven
that climate change is not man-made, but natural, will you be relieved and
excited to know that man is off the hook?
We’ve been
terrorized into accepting that human society was 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.
So, if it’s not
true, will you now help to remove all of the draconian regulations passed
during the global warming hysteria? Will you help to restore our Republic with
common sense and sound economics?
Their answers to
these questions should be very illuminating as to the true agenda they seek to
impose.
If they are
supporting climate change legislation because of a genuine concern for the
environment, then they should now 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.
I have just
returned from one of the most important Climate Change conferences ever held.
Sponsored by the Heartland Institute, more than 700 scientists from all over
the world came together to testify that man-made Global Warming does not exist.
Harvard scholar
and climate scientist Willie Soon said it best in a recent article he titled,
“It’s the Sun, stupid.”
Dr. Mark Campbell,
professor of chemistry at the U.S. Navel Academy in Annapolis recently wrote,
“The sky is not burning, and to claim that it is amounts to journalistic
malpractice.”
Said U.S.
Government atmospheric scientist Stanley B, Goldenberg, “It is a blatant lie put forth in the media that makes
it seem there is only a fringe of scientists who don’t buy into anthropogenic
global warming.”
In the past year,
more than 650 scientists from around the world have expressed their doubts.
That’s 12 times the number of UN IPCC global warming alarmists.
Top that with the
fact that more than 31,000 American scientists have signed a petition saying
there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon
dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing disruption of the
Earth’s climate.
Of course most of
the hysteria has been fueled by Al Gore’s Oscar-winning, Nobel prize-winning
film “An Inconvenient Truth,” which almost every American school student has
been forced to watch endless times in their classroom.
Well, guess what,
the government of Great Britain just ruled that the film cannot be shown in
English classrooms unless it carries a disclaimer that says the film is full of
mistakes and propaganda.
An overwhelming
majority of scientist are now telling us that investigative research shows any
warming actually stopped in 1999. And, in fact, they say the brief warming
period we experienced in the past decade was completely natural, caused in part
by storms on the sun, not CO2 emissions from SUVs.
The Sun storms
have ended and now a cooling period has begun.
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, special home building
materials, expensive alternative energy, no bird-killing windmills, no special
energy taxes, no extra government oversight committees, no more global climate
change conferences – and no need for a Climate Czar. Carol Browner can go back
into mothballs.
We can finally
clean out the ten feet of fuel on the bottom of the forests and prevent the
massive forest fires. We can reestablish the timber industry and all the jobs
that were killed.
We can drill
American oil and end our dependency on foreigners who hate us. In fact, that stable
source of energy will help restore the Detroit auto industry and all of those
jobs. And it will help us to stop funding terrorists. What’s not to like about
drilling American oil?
We didn’t need a
stimulus package after all – the economy will rebound on its own. 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 lack of effort on Capitol Hill to start to pull back from the
climate change hysteria.
That silence you
hear is from the White House where President of Change, Barack Obama now has an
EPA director, a Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) director and a full
blown Climate Change Czar, all working to impose huge cut backs in energy use,
with more taxes, and more rules and regulations that will bring an already
damaged economy to its knees – all in the name of man-made Global Warming –
which doesn’t exist.
…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. In fact, their dollars are the
only thing green about any of it. Their commercials are promoting the lies and
changing our way of life. “Going Green” is the mantra of the day. None of them
are about to change any of these policies, simply to accommodate a few
inconvenient scientific facts.
In spite of all
the evidence to the contrary, in spite of literally thousands of real
scientists joining the ranks of the skeptics, Gore just told Congress that the
Global Warming crisis is even worse than predicted. Obama, our newly crowned
king said, “The science is settled.”
Why do they
continue to promote a lie? Because 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.
In fact, the most
important debate in the history of the United States is about to begin – it’s
the battle over a completely new economic system based on Climate Change called
Cap and Trade.
It should be
called Tax and Trade as it will force up the price of every item created or run
by energy from gasoline to toothpaste to natural gas to hotel rooms, as we sit
in our cold, dark homes.
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. Instead of money, wealth will be
determined by how many government-issued emission permits you own to allow you
to operate your business.
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.
You know, we have
a new language invading our government at all levels. Old words with new
meanings fill government policy papers. The typical city council meeting
discusses “community development,” “historic preservation,” and “partnerships”
between the city and global corporations.
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!
People of great
importance testify before congressional committees of the dire need for “social
justice.”
Free trade, social
justice, consensus, global truth, partnerships, preservation, stakeholders,
land use, environmental protection, development, diversity, visioning, open
space, heritage, comprehensive planning, critical thinking, and community
service are all part of our new language.
What are they
really talking about? What mental pictures come to mind when those words are
used? George Orwell realized that those who control language and manipulate key
phrases can control policy.
Agenda 21
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.
I have spent most
of the past 12 years studying every facet of this new political agenda which is
fast becoming a revolution — touching every aspect of our businesses, our
public education system, our private property, our families and our individual
lives.
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 now the
official policy of the United States, put in force by literally every
department of the government.
It is the official
policy of every state government, and nearly every city, town and county in the
nation.
But, I warn you,
accepting the perception that Sustainable Development is simply good
environmental stewardship is a serious and dangerous mistake.
So what is
Sustainable Development? The Sustainablists insist that society be transformed
into feudal-like governance by making nature the central organizing principle
for our economy and society.
To achieve this,
Sustainablist policy focuses on three components; global land use, global
education, and global population control.
Keep in mind that
America is the only country in the world based on the ideals of private
property. But, private property is incompatible with the collectivist premise
of Sustainable Development.
If you doubt that,
then consider this quote from the report of the 1976 UN’s Habitat I conference
which said: “Land …cannot be
treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the
pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a
principle instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth, therefore,
contributes to social injustice.”
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.
Social justice is
a major premise of Sustainable Development. Another word for social justice, by
the way, is Socialism. Karl Marx was the first to coin the phrase “social
justice.”
Some officials try
to pretend that Sustainable Development is just a local effort to protect the
environment — just your local leaders putting together a local vision for the
community. Have you heard that one?
Then ask your
local officials how it is possible that the exact language and tactics for
implementation of Sustainable Development are being used in nearly every city
around the globe from Lewiston, Maine to Singapore. Local indeed.
Sustainable
Development is the process by which America is being reorganized around a
central principle of state collectivism using the environment as bait.
The best way to
understand what Sustainable Development actually is can be found by discovering
what is NOT sustainable.
According to the
UN’s Biodiversity Assessment Report, items for our everyday lives that are NOT
sustainable include: “Ski runs,
grazing of livestock, plowing of soil, building fences, industry, single family
homes, paved and tarred roads, logging activities, dams and reservoirs, power
line construction, and economic systems that fail to set proper value on the
environment” (e.g., capitalism, free markets).
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.”
Are you starting
to see the pattern behind Cap and Trade, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water
Act, and all of those commercials you’re forced to watch about the
righteousness of Going Green?
And one of the
most destructive tools they use to force it on us is something called the
“precautionary principle.” That means that any activities that might threaten
human health or the environment should be stopped — even if no clear cause and
effect relationship has been established – and even if the potential threat is
largely theoretical.
That makes it easy
for any activist group to issue warnings by news release or questionable report
and have those warnings quickly turned into public policy – just in case.
So how is this
wrenching transformation being put into place?
There are four very specific routes being used.
1.
In the rural areas it’s called the
Wildlands Project.
2.
In the cities it’s called Smart Growth.
3.
In business it’s called Public/Private
Partnerships.
4.
In government it’s called Stakeholder
Councils and Non-elected Boards and Regional Government.
The Wildlands
Project was the brainchild of Earth First’s Dave Foreman and it 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 is a diabolical plan
to herd humans off the rural lands and into human settlements. Crazy you say!
Yes. Impossible? Not so fast.
From the demented
mind of Foreman, the plan became the blueprint for the UN’s Biodiversity Treaty.
So now the scheme is international in scope.
But how do you
remove people from the land? One step at a time. Let’s begin with a biosphere
reserve. A national park will do. A huge place where there is no human
activity. How about Yellowstone National Park? Then you establish a buffer zone
around the reserve. Inside the buffer only limited human activity is allowed.
Slowly, you squeeze until you squash that human activity.
Once accomplished,
you extend the area of the biosphere to the limits of the former buffer area –
and then you create a new buffer zone around the now larger biosphere and start
the process over again. In that way, the Biosphere Reserve acts like a cancer
cell, ever expanding, until all human activity is stopped.
And there are many
tools in place to stop human activity and grow the reserve.
Push back
livestock’s access to river banks on ranches. 300 feet ought to do it. 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
– just like Dave Foreman planned.
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. Now tell me how they can deny
that the process is herding people into human habitat areas?
Today, here in
your area, one of the latest Wildlands scheme is called Yukon to Yellowstone or
Y2Y — a 2000 mile no-man’s land corridor from the Arctic to Yellowstone.
The second path 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. Those able to build apartment houses may
find it impossible to provide parking – we don’t want any stinking cars!
Because there is a
restriction on space inside the controlled city limits 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.
Third, inside the
human habitat areas, government is 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 function of
legitimate government within the system will be simply to enforce the dictates
of the councils.
The councils are
unelected, but all powerful. They are controlled by a small minority in the
community. They will make you ask permission for anything necessary to live in
the community. They can dictate the kind of building materials you may use in
your home – or whether you can build on your property at all.
Then, if they do
grant a permit for building, they might not decide to let you acquire water and
electricity for your new home – and they may or may not give you a reason for
being turned down.
They can even
dictate that you get the proper exercise – as determined by the government. San
Francisco has built a new federal building – the greenest ever built. But the
elevators will only stop on every third floor so riders are forced to use
stairs – for their own health, of course.
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.
The fourth path is
Public/Private Partnerships. Today, many freedom organizations are presenting
PPPs as free enterprise and a private answer for keeping taxes down by using
business to make a better society.
In truth, 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 charge what they want and they can use the power of government to put
competition out of business. That is not free enterprise. And it is these
global corporations that are pushing the green agenda.
For example, using
government to ban its own product, General Electric is forcing the
mercury-laden green light bulb on you, costing 5 times the price of incandescent
bulbs. Such is the reality of green industry.
PPPs are building
the Trans Texas Corridor, using eminent domain to take more than 580,000 acres
of private land – sanctioned by the partnership with the Texas government.
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.
Truly, Sustainable
Development is designed to change our way of life. Local communities are now
being targeted by international forces. Here’s how.
In June 2005, I
reported on the UN’s efforts to recruit the nation’s mayors to directly impose
Sustainable Development policy into our local communities. The mayors were
invited to attend the UN’s World Environment Day conference in San Francisco.
The mayors weren’t
there to simply discuss policy, they actually committed to an agenda with
specific goals. 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.
The first document
was called the Green Cities Declaration, produced by the United Nations
Environment Programme. This document was essentially a statement of principles
which set the agenda for the mayors’ assigned tasks.
The Declaration is
amazingly bold in that it details exactly how the UN intends to implement a
very specific agenda in every town and city in the nation. The final line of
the Declaration explained the UN’s goal very explicitly:
“Each year cities shall pick three actions to adopt as
policies or laws.”
The second
document signed by the mayors was called the “Urban Environment Accords.” The
document includes exactly 21 specific actions (as in Agenda 21), for the mayors
to take — controlled by a time table for implementation.
For example, under
the topic of energy, action item number 1 called for the mayors to implement a
policy to increase the use of “renewable” energy by 10% within seven years.
Energy action item numbers 2 and 3 dealt with reducing energy consumption.
These action items
are classic examples of the UN trying to go around the U.S. Congress and
federal energy policy and force a backdoor implementation of the UN’s Kyoto
Accord, which the U.S. has never ratified.
Perhaps the most
egregious action item offered in the Urban Environmental Accords dealt with the
topic of water. Action item number 19 called for adoption and implementation of
a policy to reduce individual 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.” There is no scientific basis for the 100 liter figure other than to
employ a very clever use of numbers to lower the bar and control the debate over
water consumption.
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.

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%.
Consider also that
there is no specific water shortage in most parts of the United States. Water
is not an international issue – it is a very local one.
Perhaps the most
outrageous promise of action by the mayors is action item number 16, in which
they agreed to, “Every year, identify three products, chemicals, or compounds
that are used within your city that represents the greatest risk to human
health and adopt a law or eliminate their sale and use in the city.”
There you have it.
The mayors had to promise to ban something every year. That’s the UN’s version
of a free society.
But here are some
questions for the mayors. What if there isn’t a “chemical or compound” that
poses a risk? What if the community actually needs them? What if jobs are at
stake? What about private property or free enterprise?
Not a
consideration. The mayor has gotta ban something anyway – he signed an
agreement. That’s not to be taken lightly, with environmental protection at
stake.
Consider this bit
of real life insanity as an example of how serious it can get. In the 1990s,
Anchorage, Alaska had some of the most pristine water in the nation. It
literally had no pollution.
Yet, because of
government-mandated clean water standards, the federal government ordered the
city to meet strict federal rules that required the city to remove a certain
percentage of pollution for its water. The city simply couldn’t do it because
there wasn’t that amount of pollution to be removed. But the government
insisted that the law be upheld – no exceptions.
Therefore, in
order to meet the federal requirements (and avoid huge fines or jail terms)
Anchorage city officials were forced to pollute its pristine water by dumping
fish parts into it so they could then clean out the required quota.
So, it is not far
fetched to say that, if your mayor has to ban the ink in your fountain pen to
meet his quota – ban it he will.
Again, the UN’s
meeting with the mayors took place in 2005. Today in 2009, what are the
consequences? Plenty.
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.
The answer – Meet
ICLEI, a non-profit, private foundation, dedicated to helping your mayor
implement all of his promises.
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 regulate the environment – and it’s having tremendous
success.
According to a
report published by the Capital Research Center, ICLEI is now operating in more
than 400 cities in 48 states (excluding Hawaii and South Dakota). The group is
shooting for 1,000 member cities in the next three years. ICLEI is there to
assure the mayors keep their promises and meet their goals.
Climate change, of
course, is the ICLEI mantra. ICLEI’s programs are designed to decrease each
city’s “carbon footprint,” no matter what it costs the taxpayers.
Here’s just some
of the programs ICLEI provides cities and towns, in order to spread their own
particular political agenda in the name of “community services” and
environmental protection:
·
Software products and associated training
to help set the goals of “greenhouse gas” reductions;
·
Access to a network of experts, newsletters, conferences and workshops – to assure the indoctrination of city employees is complete;
·
Toolkits, online resources, case studies, fact sheets, policy and practice
manuals, and blueprints used by other
communities – so you know you are
not alone;
·
Training workshops for staff and elected officials on how to develop and implement the programs –Wanna bet they never seem to
mention that
thousands of scientists around the world now say man-made global
warming is a myth and none of these programs are necessary? Probably doesn’t
make
it into the workshop;
And, there’s
Notification of relevant grant opportunities
– this is the important one – money – with severe strings attached;
As the Capital
Research Center’s report says, “Local governments gratefully outsource their
work to ICLEI, which even offers hiring advice. They recommend that the
community hire A full time “sustainability manager,” who, even in small towns,
can devote 100% of his time to assure that every nook and corner of the
government is on message.
As I said, it’s
not about protecting the environment; it’s about reinventing government with a
specific political agenda. 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.
They target
unknowing local officials, wine and dine them, and blind them with power and
influence. 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 and logic to impose their agenda of top down control. Sustainable
Development.
The entire agenda
of Sustainable Development is based on the argument of man-made climate change
– global warming.
But, if there is
no man-made global warming, as true science is now beginning to prove, then
there is no need for the policies that are locking away our natural resources,
forcing reduction of our use of energy, and shutting down industries like
timber and mining.
We all want a
clean environment. That’s why the United States has spent more than a trillion
dollars on environmental clean up. The fact is we have the cleanest air and
water in the world. We have a national commitment to a clean environment.
But everything we
do to sustain our lives has an impact on nature. The fact is, for a positive,
happy life, a big “environmental footprint” is an enormous positive. It means
better roads and computers, new factories and power plants and hospitals to
assure a better life.
Frankly, if you
have no carbon footprint you are dead. But to the environmentalist, the size of
your “footprint” is a measure of your guilt.
I will say it again
and again – the policies of climate change and Sustainable Development are not
about a clean environment, conservation or good stewardship. They are about the
politics of control.
Under Sustainable
Development there is no private property, no individual liberty and no free
enterprise. Period.
So, as I said,
when you ask your elected officials where they now stand on the issue of
climate change, their answers will truly tell you what they are really after.
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. What we are
dealing with today is not politics as usual. It’s insanity.
Elected officials
can no longer play ignorant about this policy. It is their duty to represent
the people and protect them from these piranhas that are devouring our way of
life. To save it you must now take action. And understand that the main battle
is being fought, not in congress, but on the local level. Right here.
So, if a local
politician utters the words “sustainable” or “community visioning” — or looks
at your rural neighborhood home — scoffing about urban sprawl – he or she is
your enemy. Rip their political careers out by their rotted roots. Fire any
official who even suggests the creation of non-elected commissions, or boards.
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 if ICLEI is
now running things in your town – throw them out! Stop payment of 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.
This is not a
friendly political debate. This is the battle to determine nothing less than
the future of our free society.
But, please know:
in spite of all I’ve told you tonight, the situation is not hopeless. There is
opportunity today like never before to expose these very dangerous policies and
to fight back.
The economic
meltdown that we are experiencing has been brought on in no small part by
Sustainable policies. $4 per gallon gas this past summer helped to awaken a lot
of Americans.
They are mad and
many are ready to finally listen to our message of freedom. They want change
and we are the only ones offering it. Now is our time.
But you cannot win
this battle if you don’t understand that what you face is not a bunch of random
issues — but a complete agenda of control.
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.
And if you believe
in those ideals then know that Sustainable Development is your enemy, no matter
what form it takes. And fight it wherever it raises its ugly head.
Finally, we must
organize. Too many of us are satisfied to simply write a letter, make a phone
call or participate in a local rally about an issue. Then go home and think
we’ve done our part.
The other side
simply waits until you leave and then goes ahead with the plan. That’s why we
lose.
I am constantly hearing
from activists about how hopeless their fight is because elected officials just
won’t listen. No matter how hard they work – it’s all for nothing. That’s
because we have accepted the premise that we can do nothing to get rid of those
officials. Bunk.
Our Founding
Fathers gave us a Silver Bullet for victory – but we seldom use it. It is still
there – rusting under this massive government machine. The silver bullet is
called precinct captain – local organization in the neighborhoods.
Today – now —
before the next election — is the time to organize your neighborhood. Learn who
is most likely to vote for your candidate – those who are willing to work.
Do it today and in
the next election, put that organization to work. Literally herd our people
into the polls and assure victory. It is a massive job – the other side has
already done it. That’s why they win. If we don’t create a local structure,
neighborhood by neighborhood, we will never beat them. But it works – if we
start now.
Make it your goal
to get rid of those elected officials who won’t listen. Make them pay for their
actions. Do it just a couple of times and you will see a fast change of
attitude by the rest.
Together, if we
stand vigilant, if we speak the truth, and don’t allow it to hide in some
political double speak – if we stand by our principles – because we are right –
we can – and we will – take America back.
