CRYSTAL BALL: The dangers of 'progressives' on Council

9/15/2012

Thank God we’ve had a two year reprieve from the extremist progressives on Santa Rosa’s City Council. The oppressive, anti-property rights former majority put in place our current land- use regulations which now must be undone. Wysocky and Gorin have completely sold out to the regional smartgrowth ideology that seeks to mandate that only taxpayer subsidized high-density development will take place, aka One Bay Area. By this time next year City Councils all over the Bay Area will have signed onto what our unelected MTC and ABAG boards have cooked up in consultation with ICLEI. If the progressives get the council majority back Santa Rosa will sign onto One Bay Area rescinding the development rights of most property owners in Santa Rosa.

How does it work? ABAG sets the housing numbers and the One Bay Area twenty-five year Plan requires 80% of all new housing to be built in PRIORITY DEVELOPMENT AREAS, which are pre-designated small land areas next to trains or buses, only about 4% of all land in the Bay Area is identified for this. The other 96% of land will only be allowed to accomodate the other 20% of housing over the 25 year period. If you are holding undeveloped or partially developed land in the 9 county bay area, get out now unless your land is in a PDA. Otherwise you could end up with a worthless property yet still be paying property taxes and other expenses. On top of the housing mandates, One Bay Area calls for 70% of new employment to be located within the small PDAs.

I support the loosening of regulations that continue to block the efforts of entrepreneurs who could be having a positive effect on our stuggling economy. If you stifle private development and instead impose government controlled development the economy will fail. ICLEI is promoting an international agenda which is not in the best interests of Americans. In fact, having America fail is necessary before an international government can take hold. Once you realize what the true problem is, then everything will begin to make sense. We need people in elected positions who are not afraid to look at the true picture and use whatever power they might have to preserve and protect our nation from the influence of outside forces. Vote wisely. WE DO NOT SUPPORT WYSOCKY, CARLSTROM, COMBS, OR BANUELOS.

Cyclist objects to propaganda and financing for Agenda 21

7/10/2012

We received a letter from a local Santa Rosa cyclist and have included it for you here. We hope that this is evidence that Santa Rosans will not allow their clubs, groups, non-profits, or government to continue to indoctrinate them in UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development principles while using their own money to do it. More and more clear-thinking Americans will join with this independent cyclist in refusing UN Agenda 21:

Landpaths will be speaking at the Santa Rosa Cycling club on Wednesday evening at the Round table Pizza on Occidental Road in Santa Rosa.

Below is my (the cyclist's) email to the board. Hope you or someone else informed can come to awaken some folks. Details below.

To many,

I for one will not attend tonight or supply any future dues to further this cause. Landpaths, although it sounds all wonderful and good is aligned with the Wildlands project and Sustainable Development which I DO NOT support. The implications go far beyond what your eyes seem to see.

I cannot support the club getting involved in politics

Maybe you folks just don't get it.

Here is a very brief, unbiased summary. Don't spend my dues on anything remotely political, please. I joined a bicycle club, not a COALITION.

from the Wildlands Project Revealed website
* The goal of the Wildlands Project is to set aside approximately fifty (50) percent of the North American continent (Turtle Island) as "wild land" for the preservation of biological diversity.
* The project seeks to do this by creating "reserve networks" across the continent. Reserves are made up of the following:
o Cores, created from public lands such as National Forest and Parks
o Buffers, often created from private land adjoining the cores to provide additional protection
o Corridors, a mix of public and private lands usually following along rivers and wildlife migration routes
* The primary characteristics of core areas are that they are large (100,000 to 25 million acres), and allow for little, if any, human use.
* The primary characteristics of buffers are that they allow for limited human use so long as they are "managed with native biodiversity as a preeminent concern."
* Moral and ethical guidelines for the Wildlands Project are based on the philosophy of Deep Ecology.
* The eight point platform of Deep Ecology can be summarized as follows:
o All life (human and non-human) has equal value.
o Resource consumption above what is needed to supply "vital" human needs is immoral.
o Human population must be reduced
o Western civilization must radically change present economic, technological, and ideological structures.
o Believers have an obligation to try to implement the necessary changes.
* The Wildlands Project itself is supported by hundreds of groups working towards its long-term implementation. Implementation may take 100 years or more.
* The Wildlands Project has received millions of dollars in support from wealthy private and corporate foundations such as the Turner Foundation, Patagonia, W. Alton Jones Foundation, Lyndhurst Foundation, etc.

Conclusion:
The Wildlands Project exist within legal boundaries, however that should not prevent us from being concerned. At the very least, it advocates an extreme manifestation of environmental and public policy. Therefore, any claim the Wildlands Project makes toward public policy must be debated, and ultimately decided, in the public arena. Yet to date it has existed almost anonymously; beyond the knowledge of the wider public. It must be examined out from behind the cover of more general environmental concerns, held up for public scrutiny, and either accepted or rejected by a public fully aware of its implications. Failing to do so could have dire consequences, for as John Adams once wrote, "Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge by the people."

July Club
Meeting
July 11 2012
The July club meeting is scheduled for 6:30 Wednesday evening at the Round Table Pizza on Occidental Rd, just west of Stony Point. There will be the usual round of business items and discussions of topics of importance to the club.
This will be followed by a presentation by Craig Anderson, the Executive Director of LandPaths. LandPaths is one of the organizations that has been receiving support from SRCC's year-end donations.

A letter we just received:
I am president of the Eastside Pioneers Neighborhood Association in Rochester MN. I have been reading over your website regarding your struggles with Agenda 21 driven initiatives. We are having the same problems. We have been at the receiving end of the Delphi technique and are also experiencing their current efforts to deal with an upstart organization objecting to their agenda. Right now Agenda 21 proponents are trying to pass some crazy and confusing parking and zoning restrictions that would coincide with their downtown master plan. The city and county plans are riddled with plans to increase the densities in the downtown area, including downtown neighborhoods, which we are one. They also want to restrict car use, narrow the roads, increase dependence on mass transit and create more livable walkable communities. They are placing a heavy emphasis on bicycling and pouring money into bicycle trails and bridges. Social engineering to the max. We are in Minnesota. Usually we are covered with snow and ice late October through March. These Agenda 21 people are idiots. Anyway your website has a lot of good information. I appreciate it Thank you very much. We could use all the help we can get. I will stay in touch if it is okay

ONE BAY AREA: BAY OF TRICKS

ASSOCIATION OF BAY AREA GOVERNMENTS ATTEMPTS TO MEET SECRETLY WITH ACTIVISTS
If you've been following our actions at the ONE BAY AREA meetings with other groups, including East Bay Tea Party, 9-12 groups, property rights groups, and other Tea Parties, you know that we have deeply upset the game the Government (Association of Bay Area Governments--ABAG, and Metropolitan Transportation Commission--MTC in league with their public/private partners, Silicon Valley Partnership and Greenbelt Alliance) is playing. The Delphi game is to pretend, and get you to believe, that your input is solicited to craft the plan when in fact it is already set up before you show up. This is a Regional Plan, a stepping stone to Mega Regions and then to Global Government. We haven't been going along to get along.

So out of the hundreds of people who attended their 'workshops,' in the 9 county Bay Area, out of the 7.5 million people in the Bay Area who would have questions about this plan if they knew about it, just four of us have been invited to a private meeting with ABAG-MTC.

Who are we? Heather Gass, East Bay Tea Party Leader; Mimi Steel, 9-12 Leader; Carol Tomlinson, Tea Party Leader; and me.

Here's the email they sent:
Ms. Koire:

The Executive Directors of MTC and ABAG are extending an invitation to meet with them at the MetroCenter to discuss issues and matters brought up at the Winter 2012 PlanBayArea workshops. There are three possible meeting times - one will be selected based on availability of invitees. Please reply to accept the invitation and indicate your preferred meeting date.

Thursday, Feb 16, between 1:00 pm and 2:00 pm
Friday, Feb 17, between 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm
Friday, 3/2/12, between 9:00 am 11:00 am

regards,
JoAnna Bullock
Senior Grant Administrator, Urban Planner

Oakland, CA 94607

I had been checking into the American Planning Association propaganda and saw that they have now put out a seminar on how to handle us. That's you and me. So this is what I sent back:

You must have gotten this guide from the APA.

"Preparation
Second, be proactive
 Reach out to groups likely to oppose
 Request a meeting with them to listen to
concerns and ideas
 Do not try to change their minds –collect
their input
 Encourage them to provide you with
materials (books, websites, etc.)
 Research local activist networks"

But Heather wanted to get more information. I'm glad she did. Here's her exchange:
Ms. Bullock,

I have several questions about this invitation that need to be cleared up before I consider attending. Will this be a publicly noticed meeting subject the Brown Act and open to the public, Executive Session or an informal (private) meeting not subject to the Brown Act? Who are the invitees? Is this open to the public or to just a handful of people? Which MTC/ABAG Executive Directors will be in attendance? Also, I am unclear as to the purpose of this meeting? What “Issues and Matters” will be discussed. I would like an agenda for the meeting.

Heather Gass
-------------
Ms. Gass,

This is a invitation to meet informally with the executive director of MTC, Steve Hemminger and the executive director of ABAG, Ezra Rapport. The invitation was extended to the following attendees of the PBA public workshops:
Carol Thomlison
Rosa Koire
Mimi Steele
This will be an informal meeting, not a public meeting - no elected officials will be present so it is not subject to the Brown Act. The purpose of the meeting is to provide an opportunity to those that expressed issues and dissent at the PBA workshops to speak directly with the executive directors. The executive directors prefer no agenda - this is opportunity for open dialogue.

regards,
JoAnna Bullock
Senior Grant Administrator, Urban Planner

How bout that, folks? Now they want an 'open dialogue' outside of the eyes and ears of the public and for the sole purpose of finding out about us.
  FORGET ABOUT IT.
NO GOOD GERMANS.

ONE BAY AREA, ONE REGION, ONE GLOBAL DICTATORSHIP?

PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO YOUR EMAIL LISTS--It's important.

THIS IS WHAT A REVOLUTION LOOKS LIKE

You are witnessing a plan that is being implemented all across the United States NOW. It has many names but it's the same plan. UN AGENDA 21/SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: Sustainable Cities Strategy. It is a regional plan that creates unelected boards of elected officials who are engaged in erasing the boundaries between cities, counties, and states. You are losing your ability to influence your government policies at the same time that you are being solicited for your opinion. It's a tactic to silence you. This is the Delphi method of manipulating groups and controlling populations that may protest. By 2050, or sooner, there will be 11 Mega-Regions in the United States that include parts of Mexico and Canada. This is not a delusional rant. This is a fact. Go to www.America2050.org

What are these plans called? Your government is using similar names for all of these plans and they are all the same: Regional. They are being rolled out NOW. The adoption date is MID-2013. ALL OVER THE US. Most of us are unaware that the plan we are fighting is the same plan, with minor variations, being imposed in the name of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, expanding public transportation, and funding low-income housing. All plans include Smart Growth--high density housing with restrictions on personal space and car usage. All plans support high speed trains--the building block of Mega-Regions. All plans give power to regional transportation and planning boards (MPOs and COGs) through federal and state fund disbursements. In all plans housing and transportation are now linked. In all plans population projections are hugely inflated. All plans will go forward as planned regardless of your input. This is a planning revolution.

Here are just a few places around the country using the word "VISION" a UN Agenda 21 buzz word. There are many others with similar names using the sustainability jargon. These are just a few of the thousands in the US and around the world (for example, the Hanoi Center Regional Plan is exactly the same)

One Valley One Vision (you'll find this in Santa Clarita Valley, CA; Montana; and Dona Ana County/Las Cruces New Mexico
Nine Counties, One Vision (Tennessee)
One Region One Vision (New York, Indiana)
Our Florida Our Vision
One Bay Area (SF Bay Area--9 counties)
Six Towns One Vision (Lycoming County)
Five Counties One Vision (Minnesota)
Four States One Vision (Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas)

We need to use civil disobedience. Refuse to accept these plans. They are not YOUR plan. They are destroying your cities. This is UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development. Educate yourself and others. This is war. Join us at Democrats Against UN Agenda 21 in fighting for our freedom.

Not on our watch.
Awareness is the first step in the Resistance.
Action is the second step.
