TURNING 6 YEAR OLDS INTO PROPAGANDA MACHINES: COMMON CORE

5/27/2013

 
If you were going to take over a country without using the military you'd probably do it through the media and the educational system.  And that's exactly what we're experiencing.  If it isn't a take-over what is it?  Total manipulation of children's minds in classrooms; every magazine, movie, TV program, newspaper, and textbook is working on the rest of us with sustainable development dictates; land use plans, emergency management plans, law enforcement plans, food regulation, energy restrictions, legislative and legal decisions--all direct us and formulate public opinion to unquestioningly accept the agenda for the 21st century.

As I travel the nation speaking I am sometimes challenged by people who are paid to advocate for Smart Growth and Common Core, or the Wildlands Project or regionalization/globalization.  These are the people who pretend that we're crazy and they are the reasonable, sensible saviors of the planet. They're often employees of non-profits, government agencies, and foundations. Even when they're shown the facts they'll still deny them.  A tactic I see often is that they'll make personal attacks on me rather than address what I'm saying.  These are people who are motivated by money, or by acceptance in their social group, or job security, or by a sincere belief that they must not look deeply into Sustainable Development because the end justifies the means.  And the 'end' is the salvation of the planet, in their minds.

Many of these people are under 50.  They have been indoctrinated.
Please take a look now at a Common Core textbook for 6 year old children.  One thing you want to notice when you're watching this short video is that the text directs children to play on people's emotions when they are writing.  The other thing to notice is that the examples used include fighting a land owner who wants to build houses on land that people have been using as a park (no explanation here, just emotion: anger), and the need to manipulate parents and others.  Take a look. 

This is Common Core.  Common Core is Agenda 21.

WHY IT ALL SEEMS CRAZY:  SECOND ORDER CHANGES

5/19/2013

 
Read the following carefully.  It is the blueprint for the disintegration of established systems, and you are seeing it all around you, now.  This article is specifically about the educational system but it applies to every aspect of our cultural, political, economic, and environmental systems.  Second order changes are in progress right now, and that is why nothing seems to make sense.

From Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt, author of The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America

THE 1990–91 (WINTER) ISSUE OF OUTCOMES, an educational journal devoted to discussion of Outcome-Based Education and the problems associated with its implementation (teachers’, administrators’ and community resistance) published a remarkable article entitled “Paradigm Change: More Magic than Logic” by John C. Hillary.
The reader should remember that the manipulation of classroom teachers and administrators discussed in this article is standard operating procedure in most schools undergoing “restructuring.”
 


Excerpts from Hillary’s article in Outcomes follow:
The deeper changes that frustrate leaders and threaten followers are planned second-order changes.... These changes intentionally challenge widely shared assumptions, disintegrate the context of “organization” and, in general, reframe the social system. This, in turn, generates widespread ambiguity, discontinuity, anxiety, frustration, confusion, paranoia, cynicism and anger as well as temporary dysfunction. Such trauma often builds to the point that leaders abandon their efforts.

The most disruptive changes—second order changes—on the other hand, call into question the entire context of organization. Such multidimensional changes not only challenge the content of each domain but also disrupt the alignment among them. Paradigm change is therefore not only traumatic in and of itself, but also challenges other attributes and disintegrates the relationship among all domains. The eventual outcome of such change is “transformed” or “renewed” organization.

The new vision for schooling suggested by contemporary educators represents a significant “second order” challenge to school organization.
The leader of planned second order change will be regarded as out of context by the organization. If he thinks and behaves in accord with a vision that
requires second order changes, he has no choice but to violate or challenge the established culture, mission/purpose, and paradigm of the organization.
From the existing frame of reference, such behavior will be seen as illogical. Powerful and pervasive psycho-social forces will bear down on the renegade in a relentless organizational effort to bring him back into alignment. Unless the leader succeeds in progressively bending the pervasive frame, persistence is increasingly risky.

During second order change, the organization must face and hopefully pass through a period of widespread psychological ambiguity, social disconnectedness and general confusion....The requisite disintegration of the existing culture, mission/purpose, and paradigm disrupts the organization’s frame of reference.  During this time, there is little or no clear and consistent context to guide the thinking and behavior of members. In social systems, this condition produces dysfunction, anxiety, frustration, disequilibrium, and systemic chaos.

The instigator of second order change must consistently behave in ways that will not make sense when framed by the existing context. With time and leadership, the organization environment must move from initially and
naturally selecting against the innovation to selecting for the innovation.

 
The extinction of the old way of doing business is the desired outcome. Hence and with time, the risk should gradually shift away from the innovator and toward those who persist in holding on to “the way it’s always been.”

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE LEGAL FUND

5/19/2013

 
Thank you very much for your donation to the Post Sustainability Institute legal fund.  These funds will be used to fight One Bay Area/Plan Bay Area.  To read our objections to the Plan please go to Legal Objections.
  
The state intends to bring back redevelopment/tax increment financing to pay for Plan Bay Area.  This will result in deep generational debt.  For more information see 
Bringing Redevelopment Back
 
 
We appreciate your contribution--Plan Bay Area will have devastating impacts on all of us here as well as around the nation if it proceeds unchallenged.

TAKEOVER OF BRITAIN'S NATIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM

5/19/2013

 

PRIVATIZATION.  Whether you privatize healthcare or roads or schools you get a system that has to make a profit above all else, with the risks carried by the public, and the profits made by the corporations.  You lose, and will never regain control.

Watch Dr. Lucy Reynolds being interviewed right before the finalization of the demolition of Britain's National Health Service.  It is being dismantled in the same way that a hostile takeover of a company would be processed:  the profit centers are retained and the high cost centers are dumped.  That means elective surgery stays and emergency care is jettisoned.

What is the model?  The United States---where people are bankrupted trying to get the care they need.

 ROSA'S RECENT SPEECH: THE LAWSUIT AGAINST UN AGENDA 21

5/18/2013

 
I’m scheduled to give you an update on what’s happening around
the nation and I will, in a minute.

First, I want to talk about One Bay Area/PLAN BAY AREA and Agenda 21/Sustainable Development.

Keep in mind that globalization is the standardization of systems. Making systems uniform so that they can be managed through a computer with the most efficiency and control is the goal. When the systems are controlled the people are controlled.  

Efficiency is the mask for this totalitarian takeover. Regionalization is the interim step to globalization and, ultimately, to a single central
control.  In order to implement regionalization local political boundaries must be blurred and erased.  Although the forms may exist for a period of time, there will be no actual power in the local governments.  Unelected boards and commissions will dictate local action for common good.  The common good is identified as that which fragments and destroys social cohesion.  Individuals will serve
the Communitarian ideal.  So this is a circle that is made tighter and tighter as time progresses. Dissent necessarily becomes a threat to the common good and individual expression will be restricted to whatever supports the common good.  

The individual who functions well in this society is insane. 
We’re seeing the results of this pressure now in our culture.

You know that an integral part of Plan Bay Area is the identification of Planned Development Areas in specific narrow locations in existing or proposed transit corridors. When this plan was being developed as the Compact for a Sustainable Bay Area back in 1997-2003 much of the funding was expected to come from Redevelopment property tax diversion.  Conceptually the idea was that areas could be declared blighted under the Health and Safety Code and then bonded debt could be sold to pay for high density development---development for which there is little demand so it needs government subsidies.  Redevelopment areas could be rezoned via Specific Plans which also made them perfect for smart growth.  Transit oriented development and infill development could be designed into the Redevelopment projects and would basically be immune to challenge because of the Health and Safety Code blight findings.

Redevelopment in California ended in 2012 and this is an inconvenience for SB 375 and AB32-- the Sustainable Communities Strategies laws that implement Agenda 21 for land use here in California.  HUD grants, the Partnership for Sustainable Communities Grants, the One Bay Area Grant program, and Transportation grants all step up to fill in the infrastructure financing gap.  We know that even though CARB has established greenhouse gas reduction targets of 7% below 2005 levels by 2020 and 15% below 2005 levels by 2035 it doesn’t say how to do that.  Rather than having, say, better CAFÉ standards or increasing bus service, we’re seeing mass transit fare increases and service reduction all over the Bay Area. 

Money for high speed rail will bleed us for decades, and the North Bay SMART train won’t even link to the ferry system to San Francisco.  If it’s not making sense you can be sure it’s Agenda 21.  
 
The Hegelian Dialectic is at play here: Create a crisis and then
propose the solution. The so-called compromise is the plan you would never had considered without the crisis. 

Now I want to talk about action.  Legal action.

When PDAs were proposed to cities they had no idea that PDAs were a restriction on development inside of the Urban Growth Boundaries for a generation. Cities thought this was just a way to get funds for development and infrastructure in their core transportation areas. The One Bay Area Preferred Scenario, already passed by MTC and ABAG, states that roughly 80% of all new housing units are to be built in the Priority Development Areas. Enforcement appears to be based on whether or not the affected cities will be receiving transportation grants to support the new development.  Non-compliance would mean less money for the cities that do not go along with the plan.

One Bay Area states that 66% of all new employment is to be within PDA boundaries. Properties with commercial space, office buildings, factories, and industrial uses could be worthless under this plan if they are outside the PDAs.  
 
How would permits be granted and employment rights be given?  Do the quotas for the PDAs have to be achieved first and then go to the respective 20% and 34% figures?  What if those numbers are not achieved?  What criteria will be used to decide who gets development rights and who doesn't? It is significant that ABAG population projections are roughly double those of the Department of Finance.  ABAG and MTC project the Bay Area population to increase by 2 million by 2035, while the Dept of Finance estimates just 1.7 million by 2060. Over-predictions of population virtually guarantee that we will not reach the target development thresholds set by MTC/ABAG.  
 
Most cities have voter approved urban growth boundaries. 
The ordinances "encourage residential, commercial and industrial growth in areas served by urban services'.  Development is to be encouraged on all property within the UGB.

Within these boundaries property owners have a reasonable expectation to develop their property supported by city infrastructure in accordance with local regulations.  The PDAs ignore these Urban Growth Boundaries and effectively create new ones; the new non-voter-approved PDAs for 25 years. This is a violation of local and state law.  
 
In addition to that, under the 5th amendment of the US constitution, the takings clause states that no land shall be taken without just compensation.  Effectively creating an artificial restricted new Urban Growth Boundary within the existing Urban Growth Boundary is a violation of the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment of the US constitution.

Most cities in California have increased density in all of their zoning—not just on residential zones. The General Plans have increased development potential at the same time that it will be restricted by One Bay Area.

Furthermore, state law permits all single family residences in California to build a second unit if certain criteria are met.  This law effectively upzoned all single family properties so that most have development potential.  What the PDAs do is damage every SFR --single family property-- that does not have a second unit on it.  That means most of us have legal standing.

I have agreements with three law firms to independently review
One Bay Area's Final Draft Plan when it is released next month. 
We want to stop this plan.  If MTC and ABAG are able to push this through we will lose our constitutional protections all across the nation.  We're not interested in a CEQA challenge.  This is a fight to stop the plan itself.  We need to get ready to get our wallets out because this will be the fight of the century. 
 
One last thing about this:  When Hitler marched into Austria he met little resistance.  Why? Because the dissenters had been rounded up in a single day and arrested.  How were thousands of people identified in such a short time?  Every gathering, like this one, had its spy.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were a spy here in this room.  This is a very serious action we are proposing and could have far reaching impacts on the entire country.  So with that in mind I will say that if we lose against the MTC we will sue the cities and the counties. 


And as far as the news from the nation goes, the Resistance is growing fast and growing strong. There are people all across the country who will contribute to this fight. This year, 2013, will be the year that we reach critical awareness of UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development.  

This year is the year that we break through. 
DONATE TO STOP THIS PLAN.

TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP AND FAST TRACK AUTHORITY

5/5/2013

 
IMPORTANT
Our good friend, expert researcher Vicky Davis has sent out the following note to her list:

This weekend, Lori Wallach was on Booktv to talk about her new book, The Rise and Fall of Fast Track Trade Authority, and to give a status update on Obama's request for Fast Track Authority to negotiate the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). 
 
Under the Constitution, Congress is given the authority to negotiate trade agreements.  Since 1975, the Congress has been authorizing the Executive Branch to negotiate trade agreements.  They've basically sold our country out from under us.   It is CRITICALLY important that Obama NOT be given Fast Track Authority.  According to what Lori said, there are about 26 chapters in the TPP Agreement.  Only 5 of chapters have to do with trade.  The rest of the chapters have to do with issues such as land use, imported food (non) safety, - essentially harmonization of our domestic laws with the United Nations System.  It will be the end of U.S. sovereignty if Obama gets the authority to complete the deal and if it passes the Senate.  This is most definitely a Tea Party Issue - but you won't hear much at all about it on the mainstream media. 
 
Please watch this program.  Lori Wallach is probably the foremost expert on U.S. Trade Policy who is also on the side of our country.  Rare these days.

On March 1, 2013, there was an article about Obama requesting "trade promotion authority" which is Fast Track.

    And the winner is...

    What is UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development?
    It is the blueprint, the comprehensive plan of action for the 21st century to inventory and control all land, all water, all plants, all minerals, all animals, all construction, all means of production, all energy, all law enforcement, all health care, all food, all education, all information, and all human beings in the world
    .

    Your energy consumption will be controlled until you can't farm, can't manufacture, can't travel, can't fish, can't use your land. Productivity and businesses are limited now.

    You've heard that story about Tony Blair asking Angela Merkel how Germany could have such a high GDP when it was such a small country.  Merkel snapped at him: We still make things in Germany, Mr. Blair.
