How about Best Available Science--we're dealing with that one. I've seen all of these used here. They try and guilt trip us, brow-beat us, regulate us, and fine us, but we're fighting back. Your work has been a big help for us.

I read this book "behind the green mask", it's really very well written.

Vital Communities and Local First Alliance. And they over-use the word "core" and "change" and 'smart commute". They use "change" like it is a synonym of "good". I was appalled to find them having a promotion party above our local food Co-op. I had expected it to be a Co-op function. I found it was called: VITAL COMMUNITIES. I started looking around. As soon as I started reading the posters on the wall about them----bingo! It was like a light bulb went off in my head!

One poster said “farmers may still ………..”’

Another said “people may still…………”

My point here is: that right away I saw that people were being told what was permissible for their communities under this program. Just the word “still” caught me and made me keep looking. Amazing! Huh? Well, I became pretty sure that this was an Agenda 21 program filled to the brim with fancy words and deception. It was about SMART Transportation and Regionalizing! One post used the word "core" three to four times. I know “they” like that word. But these hints really set off some thinking inside my head. Also, one poster told how important that CHANGE is. Anybody with a bit of common sense in his or her head knows that “change” is not synonymous with the word “good”. Wonder if the Jews under the Nazis thought that change was good! Or when someone gets Alzheimer’s that is a change; is it good? Of course not! It is devastating. This group is very adept and tricky with the words.This group is luring people in with such sweetness and niceties and people most likely do not have a clue.

What does the word ACTION mean as it relates to Agenda 21? I couldn't find it but I know it's an acronym.
