Ms.
Jones of Southeastern Tennessee Development District is very correct when she
said she is not working with the UN or is the UN part of the process.What she fails to tell the citizens of
Polk County is, the policies of UN Agenda 21 Sustainable Development are being
funded and promoted by our government (HUD, EPA, DOT). Through grant money
secured by NGO’s (Non Government Organizations) such as the Chamber of
Commerce, The American Planning Association, Sierra Club, Nature Conservancy,
SETDD and ICLEI.And then held out
in front of unsuspecting local officials like golden carrots.If they play along they get the golden
carrot and many more carrots in the future.If they don’t play along, well like Ms. Jones said that is
OK.This is all voluntary.BUT don’t expect to get any carrots for
roads, schools or anything else the community may need.It’s called coercion.
I
ask Ms. Jones, Mr. Firestone and our County Commissioners these questions:If UN Agenda 21 is not being
implemented in our cities all over America why then did the Republican National
Committee on January 13, 2012 pass, by a unanimous vote, a resolution to stop
the spread of Agenda 21 and ban ICLEI from doing business in our local
communities.?Why are counties all
over America passing identical resolutions in support of the RNC resolution?And why is the RNC looking to make this
resolution a part of the Republican Party Platform.? And if Agenda 21 was not a
threat to our property rights, our local and state sovereignty why are
legislators in our state capitol writing bills for 2012 to stop Agenda 21? Why did Rep. Kevin Brooks propose a
resolution that is verbatim the resolution passed by the RNC?Why has Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul
stated on several occasions they will put a stop to UN Agenda 21 in America if
elected?Ms. Jones you can
deny all you want but facts don’t lie.
Ms.
Jones and others like her are either being used as useful idiots or they are
complicit and being totally deceitful.Remember the words of J. Gary Lawrence when he
said; if people knew what we were doing they would surely fight to stop it so
we won’t call our plan Agenda 21 we will call it something else like: Smart
Growth, Comprehensive Planning etc.Surely sounds like someone is lying and it surely is not me, the RNC,
Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul or
millions of Americans.
