Got your tinfoil hats ready, Hobbits?
Now, we all know that the World Government conspiracy — that is, an end to sovereignty and a movement by transnational progressivism to create a more manageable planet that is “sustainable” (and that they, through their rule, will sustain, by methods they agree upon) — is a fantasy: only kooks and conspiracy theorists believe such things, just as it was only kooks and cranks and Visigoths who believed Obama was something other than just another misguided Democrat pushing traditional liberal policy, a man who, though “good,” was in over his head.
None of which means that what’s on offer in the video is true and not hyperbolic or conspiratorially-minded. It may very well be; after all, I haven’t done a lot of research into Agenda 21.
But I do know this: I don’t trust the UN, and I particularly don’t trust that American progressives working with the UN will promote the foundational values of our constitutional republic over their preferred pet causes of environmental fascism, the State as religion, and collectivism.
Obama’s frequent importuning over how it is government that has made us successful — and so therefore we owe it to “give back” to the government — is of a piece with this kind of thinking. And it is clear that he has used both the bureaucratic arm of his administrative state, as well as executive order, to beat back individual sovereignty and even state sovereignty.
That is, when he hasn’t been first helped out by Congress or, say, John Roberts.
The EPA and Interior are busy shrinking the land available for what it has determined are legitimate human usages and flying drones over farms. The progressive are fighting fossil fuels, taking coal power plants offline, and pushing high speed rail money on states. Hell, our own exhalation has been termed a pollutant, and as such can be regulated by an unelected arm of the federal government.
Again, thanks to a “conservative” Court.
Not to mention the ongoing war against religion, with traditional religious belief and organization now being cast as “hate groups,” while the state commands that religious liberty be excised from the Constitution in the completely cynical name of “women’s rights.” PC and class warfare reign supreme. Gramsci-ism is ascendant on the left and in the halls of power.
So. Here’s the text of Agenda 21.
Review it alongside the Youtube primer. And decide for yourselves: is it all the SCAREMONGERING! simply scaremongering? And if we can’t be certain, is it more important to cast yourself as the “reasonable” skeptic — to avoid being shamed by the manufactured consent of the bien pensant — or allow yourself to cast as the nutter who buys into things that we all know can never happen here?
— Like, for instance, being told by the Supreme Court that we can’t defend our own borders, or that the Constitution clearly allows Congress to tax us inactivity — and allows us to be told by the government that we must enter into a contract of their writing, though the contract will remain between private companies ordered to adopt that contract, and citizens told we still have our autonomy and choice.
If you can’t name it, how do you fight it?
“If you can’t name it, how do you fight it?”
The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect. Newspeak is Ingsoc and Ingsoc is Newspeak,’ he added with a sort of mystical satisfaction. ‘Has it ever occurred to you, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now?’
–1984
33.16 addresses funding of Agenda 21 including 33.16(a) debt relief and 33.16(e) reallocation of resources at present committed to military purposes.
Intentionally undermining fiat currency and disarming the populace?
Count me out.
“Objective 7.28. The objective is to provide for the land requirements of human settlement development through environmentally sound physical planning and land use so as to ensure access to land to all households and, where appropriate, the encouragement of communally and collectively owned and managed land. 6/ Particular attention should be paid to the needs of women and indigenous people for economic and cultural reasons.”
My emphases.
An Agenda.
(Agenda! Ha.)
For a space of time. On earth. The whole earth.
An Era, no less.
(Oh, do stop laughing at the hauteur.)
Time in what? Time for what?
Construed by . . .
. . . the brilliant designers of the European Union? Which is currently on the verge of self-destruction as a political organization because it never was a political organization?
Yeah, that’ll work.
According to this American Thinker piece, the term “smart growth” is the brainchild of this article (see the top of page 5). J. Gary Lawrence, the author the article, was an advisor to Clinton when he made the remark below:
“Participating in a UN advocated planning process would very likely
bring out many of the conspiracy-fixated groups and individuals in our society
such as the National Rifle Association, citizen militias and some members of
Congress. This segment of our society who fear ‘one-world government’ and a
UN invasion of the United States through which our individual freedom would
be stripped away would actively work to defeat any elected official who joined
‘the conspiracy’ by undertaking LA21. So, we call our processes something
else, such as comprehensive planning, growth management or smart growth.” (my emphasis)
Funny how he dismisses as conspiracy what it is he’s actually advocating for, and does so by noting that it’s important to hide it from conspiracy theorists by giving it a banal-sounding name.
Irony must be lost on such a tool.
Your title was perfect, Jeff.
he dismisses as conspiracy what it is he’s actually advocating for, and does so by noting that it’s important to hide it from conspiracy theorists by giving it a banal-sounding name.
It is almost as if the liberal planners who said, years ago, that Robertscare was just the first step to single-payer socialized medicine, weren’t kidding. Almost as if when Barry Soetero said he was going to fundamentally transform America, he meant it. Almost as if Ezra Klein really meant it as a critical observation when he said the Constitution was, like, a hundred years old, and no one understands or needs it anyway.
Almost as if they are all the descendants of Pol Pot that they seem to be.
“There is a bear in the woods. For some people, the bear is easy to see. Others don’t see it at all. Some people say the bear is tame. Others say it’s vicious and dangerous. Since no one can really be sure who’s right, isn’t it smart to be as strong as the bear? If there is a bear.”
“Reagan: Isn’t it better to be prepared?”
If the question is if this is real, the answer lies in grasping the sort of mind who would make it so. I cannot go there — it frightens me to consider the sheer foolhardy blinkered arrogance — but I more than suspect it involves a deep degree of personal dysfunction.
Is leftism* a mental disorder? All indications are that it is, but I want to go beyond that old saw. What is the mind of the globalist collectivist moralist? It’s some dark, dark shit and I’d recommend and plea that somebody diagnose this stuff and hang a name on it.
This is where we all know we’re going. This is the stuff of camp apocalyptic fiction, of popular counter-narrative, and of the prophecies of antiquity. There is something in the perverted collectivist mind that having comprehended the earth is a fixed sphere, has no compunction about rendering the whole damn thing dank, putrid, warm oatmeal and whatever human grist keeps it simmering.
This is a fucking sickness and it is death to the soul. Which brings us back to what kind of sick bastard would want such a thing. It’s time to identify it. When Light returns we’ll need a name for what we just suffered through.
*assuming this crap is even that good.
CFIF Launches Enhanced State Sovereignty Project Print
Monday, August 06 2012
ALEXANDRIA, VA – The Center for Individual Freedom (“CFIF”) today announced the launch of an enhanced State Sovereignty Project devoted to persuading all 50 states to aggressively exercise their authority to serve as a check on the ever-growing and often extra-constitutional power of the federal government.

Insert the appropriate C. S. Lewis quote here.
“What is the mind of the globalist collectivist moralist?”
“Miss Taggart,” he said, with an odd note of sternness in his voice, “just remember that he represented a code of existence which-for a brief span in all human history-drove slavery out of the civilized world. Remember it, when you feel baffled by the nature of his enemies,”
“Have you ever heard of a woman named Ivy Starnes?”
“Oh yes.”
“I keep thinking that this was what she would have enjoyed-the spectacle of those passengers tonight. This was what she’s after. But we-we can’t live with it, you and I, can we? No one can live with it.
It’s not possible to live with it.”
“What makes you think that Ivy Starnes’s purpose is life?”
Something that encourages me: It’s not #Occupy, it’s not leftism, and it’s not statist rightism. While it’ll rankle many, it does reflect two things.
The first is that the young are the core of the anti-authoritarian, antiestablishmentarian movement. The second is that they’re rediscovering that they’ve been set up and lied to and betrayed.
Those are powerful motivators.
I hope that while we may disagree with their leader’s views on some things, that they prevail.
I see stuff like this everywhere. Bring it!
Some light reading from the background of international government.
Judas Priest. That.

I’ve been calling for that. Glad to see an organized group leading that charge. I’ll link later.
1) Pot smokers are easily led.
2) Ron Paul dumps a lot of money into the pockets of graphic designers.
Fuck off, Crawford.

noted jellyfish Rich Lowry preemptively surrenders the definition of marriage
National Review editor Rich Lowry made a tremendously pessimistic prediction on PBS’s McLaughlin Group this weekend.
“Despite the heartening support for Chick-fil-A – we’ve seen hundreds of thousands of people flocking to the restaurants – private sector and government bullying of opponents of gay marriage is the wave of the future”
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2012/08/05/rich-lowry-after-chick-fil-bullying-opponents-gay-marriage-wave-futur#ixzz22n6EHCAI
Catch the wave. Or, if you prefer, be led by the nose. It’s the NRO way.
He probably encountered somebody like Zachriel who simply will not stop pushing socialism. We’ll take it and like it.
I read that as Lowry gettin’ his Eeyore on rather than waving a white flag.
By the way, Lowry might be right. It might very well be the wave of the future, because businesses are so risk averse that they won’t fight back.
Doesn’t mean we can’t continue to fight, and continue to misbehave.
Lowry shouldn’t be so quick to surrender what gets called “hate” or he’ll lose more than he bargains for. Because it’s not like gay marriage is even the issue. It’s the destruction of anything that poses a challenge to the state. They merely use the useful idiots in the various identity groups to do much of the work for them.
Sometimes going Eeyore is the first step to surrender, and Lowry is good at that sort of thing.
Besides, anyone who thinks being a regular guest on the fucking McLaughlin Group counts as sign of media credibility is living in the Jurassic Era. That show’s viewership must almost exclusively comprise people eligible to join the AARP.
Lowry is a surrender monkey. Ask Derb.
Lowry shouldn’t be so quick to surrender what gets called “hate” or he’ll lose more than he bargains for. Because it’s not like gay marriage is even the issue. It’s the destruction of anything that poses a challenge to the state.
Exactly. This is why calling a frontal attack on free speech “the wave of the future” diminishes its very real threat. Less Eeyore, more counterattack, please. Small example: DO NOT use the phrase “opponents of gay marriage.” Call it what it is: a categorical redefinition of marriage as it has stood for millenia. Do not surrender the language, do not call your allies “opponents.” They are advocates, free men and women, believers in liberty.
(mis)perception is reality

Lowry is a surrender monkey. Ask Derb.
No freaking kidding.
Ernst Schreiber says August 6, 2012 at 12:31 pm
Yup. If you watched local TV news here in southern Clownifornia, you would never know that the pro CFA supporters outnumbered the whiners in West Hollywood and elsewhere by 1000 to 1.
BTW, great news… Derb back on the air!
http://takimag.com/radioderb/say_what_john_derbyshire#axzz22UytXFLO
Well George, So-Clowns should take comfort —since that 1 guy was there supporting HATE.
yay us, we’re so superior to fly-over country cousin-fuckers!
Global enslavement should suffice.
I recently had a debate (and by debate I mean I was screeched at liberal howler monkeys) in which I was called a homophobe even though I had laid out the linguistic reason for not redefining marriage. I was told by the most lefty of the lot that “Language changes all the time, dude. Get over it.”
I don’t find it coincidental that George Lakoff and Noam Chomsky are so popular in progressive circles.
Fantastic news about Derb, GO. Thanks!
– I’ve come to the point where I view statism is all its various forms as just another of natures long list of regulators, as muxh as cholera or pox, hurricanes or floods, drought or famine.
– A lot of suffering, but generally whatever the threat they’re never susstainable by their very nature.
– At some point enough people notice their limbs are sloughing off and it ends.
Embedding media into the comments seems to mess up the formatting with the Dolphin browser for Android.
– The fossil record will show we lost a lot of limbs during the Progressive era, but we survived.
“Which, you know, when you have a good surragote pooping in the punch bowl for you, why would you want to interupt that good attacking flow?”
– So tell us Harry….When did you stop beating your wife and molesting children?
He claims he’s stopped? Well, then. That opens a whole other can of worms. When did he start beating his wife and molesting children?
He hasn’t issued a denial, has he? His spox said “cute” when asked about the molestation charges. I find that disturbing.
I heard Harry Reid likes to fly to Bangkok to molest little orphan children
in an SR-71!
“You can talk to Senator Reid. I’m sure he’ll address this issue if you ask him. He certainly speaks for himself.”
Of these three statements, one is true. Batting .333 is pretty damn good for Carney.
I heard Harry Reid likes to fly to Bangkok to molest little orphan children.
See? I heard this, as well.
I heard that Harry Reid can only get an erection from seeing pictures of dead whales.
– So we’re beginning to find out the details of Page, the Sikh shooter.
– What? No Tes party connections, just a Southern Dem KKK dude, ex military psy-ops.
– How sad for the Lefturd narrative.
Dude was disciplined for being drunk on the job while active duty. He also received a General Discharge. He’s not one of our finest and I doubt he did anything operative besides driving the Commander around.
Associated Pravda sez:
– My mythical sky-god informs me that Alinsky is still dead.
– Dude was all over the place like flies on cow patties.
– Formed several alt-music bands. = Progressive.
it’s important to hide it from conspiracy theorists by giving it a banal-sounding name.
If you know your X-Files, one of the explanations for it all was that the alien stuff was real enough, and the gubmint kept feeding true info (plus some false stuff) into the UFOlogy community, all the better to discredit anyone who happened to surface with real evidence of aliens, because everybody knows they’re loonies.
Then they send Mulder and Scully on wild goose chases to eventually discredit Mulder, who was dangerous to them because he’d seen too much with his own eyeballs.
even though I had laid out the linguistic reason for not redefining marriage
When are you wingers going to realize that the Left can totally hear these kinds of dog-whistles? You’re just saying that you have linguistic reasons to cover for the fact that you’re a homo-h8ing homophobe.
However, the linguistic case isn’t the strongest one: it’s true that terms get redefined all the time. Used to be that we had “doctors” and “lady doctors”; now we just have “doctors.”
Maybe say you don’t want a bedrock institution such as marriage to exclude one of the sexes.
FOR THE FAIRNESS!
What? You think Ron Paul is someone worth giving a shit about?
Sorry, I don’t. He ruined his own brand by associating with creepy, evil people and being a typical politician when called on it. I will never stand behind him, and I will make fun of anyone who does.
Fascism’s Second Breath.
As I pointed out at Althouse, the causes his “band” claims to be about sounds a lot like “Rage Against the Machine”.
Prolly reminds him of Ted Kennedy.
Everyone knows that those poor Sikhs were killed by Sarah Palin’s racist Christer retardation and her slut daughter’s tits you betcha! What we need now is civility! And George Zimmerman’s white hispanic murderer head on a pike! We ALL need to put aside our differences and come together and put these Nazi’s in camps after we take theri gins away! Because they are violent and dangerous!
+1 !!!1!!
I swear — although I wasn’t listening closely — that I heard the radio news-reader say that some city has removed an ad hoc shrine to the memory of Trayvon Martin, but says in its defense (having been attacked for the removal, I suppose) that the city plans to create a permanent memorial.
I only hope I misheard.
flowers, tea, skittles but no robatusin(sp)
Organizers set up new memorial for Trayvon Martin
Original memorial items moved to museum storage
I’ll have to go there and have a black (or african-american if not authentically black) friend pound the back of my head against the sidewalk until my skin breaks as a token of my submission to the odd whims of social justice.
– Or you could just settle for a Chicken samitch.
I hope they are going to remove any “shrine” to St. Trayvon ™. Around here, anytime some dumb kid wraps his pick-up around a telephone pole, up goes a shrine that either becomes permanant or gets neglected until the weather takes care of it.
‘Round here some 17yr-old boy got hit by a car and killed while riding his bike. Sucks. His parents (by which I mean “his mother”, almost certainly) commandeered a local traffic sign post for their makeshift shrine: candles, photos, stuffed animals, the whole shebang.
Two years later, it’s still going. Because nobody in power has the the balls to say “lady, enough!” and be seen as ‘mean’. But at least she’s not touring with Code Pink and harrassing GWB… that I know of.
—
Footnote: about a month after the kid got killed, two HS girls distraught over his death killed themselves by walking on the train tracks until local high-speed rail did what needed doing. All Romeo and Juliet-y ‘n’ shit.
Sadly, my hopes that 4 students, distraught over the girls’ deaths, would do the same, setting off an exponential bit of herd-culling (and thereby lowering my school taxes, with any luck) never came to fruition.
Insufficiently emo bastards. I blame a lack of Morrissey.
Through 99% of history, more than 99% of humans have been slaves or effective slaves.
We’ve stretched the elastic of history, but we haven’t broken it. It wants to snap back.
Another angle on the whole thing: Humans are clever enough to build complex systems, and dumb enough to believe they can be controlled.
I think what I said I did.
To which I’ll add that by now I’ll consider taking Paul’s creepy friends and kind of libertarianism over Romney’s creepy friends and kind of Republicanism. Yeah, we’re about at that point.
Yeah well, we don’t really need the elastic of history for anything do we? It’s not holding father time’s pants up or anything. We have enough bullshit to deal with from nature, so let’s tear that fucking elastic and laugh when it snaps.
I’d say that the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing a lot of goobers that he could be peeled from the earth like a sticker by the right guy as long as you were willing to suffer the horrors of the peeling. He told us that he knows a way back into the garden, it just leads down Cain’s fist and right through the bone of Abel’s skull. Small price to pay right?
Plastic, elastic, facistatic.
Historically the best way to deal with a warm climate is to enjoy the larger food harvests, control predator/prey populations in areas occupied by humans, and spray for pests. And we want to FIX this so our grandkids will know what the polar ice caps despite no real evidence of shrinkage? We need to submit to a kooky dictatorship on the basis of rigged and incompetent “Science! TM” to stop food from getting cheaper and more abundant? Assholes BELIEVE THIS SHIT? And a dictatorship can control the sun now?
The Pharaoh controlled the Nile flood so why not? They all wish, always wish, to have a “water empire” of their very own.
Agenda 21?
I prefer Agenda .45
That’s not an agend; that’s a philosophy for life.
Spleef, there’s my AMAC card. Wouldn’t want to miss the Early-Bird Special.
Now if I could only remember where I left my pants.
Because of the trousers.
Press to play Trouser Press, baby.
