GOVERNMENT MESSAGE: IF YOU DON'T AGREE, DON'T SHOW UP

3/12/2013

 
Just in case you weren't sure if it was your imagination when you got ignored or mocked at a Visioning Meeting put on by the consultant hired with your tax dollars to propagandize you---take a look at this article recounting the experience of members of the public who dared to disagree with the New Hampshire version of regional planning: Granite State Future. They were accused by the local throw-away paper of 'crashing a public meeting.'  This is a neat trick when you 're a member of the public who was invited to the meeting, but obviously you're only welcome if you are willing to go along to get along or are a cheerleader for the plan.  As usual the facilitators didn't want anyone filming their supposed public meeting because they don't want a record of dissent.  No, they just want to say that the public was invited to the meeting, attended the meeting, liked the plan, and FULL SPEED AHEAD.  Too bad.  The New Hampshire Tea Party Coalition was very much in attendance.

FROM The New Hampshire Tea Party Coalition:
http://www.nhteapartycoalition.org/tea/2013/03/09/how-do-you-crash-an-open-house-just-ask-the-nhtpc/
On February 24, 2013 we posted this open invitation from the Lakes Region Planning Commission.

It was to be an open house for a public discussion on “Granite State Future”, a statewide project among all of the the state’s nine regional planning commissions, coordinated by the Nashua Regional Planning Commission. The project is funded through a $3.37 million federal grant from the EPA/HUD/DOT.

The invitation stated: “The purpose of the Open House is to provide an opportunity for the LRPC Commissioners, local officials, and the public to meet LRPC staff and talk about the Granite State Future Project and LRPC’s ongoing planning work that will inform the development of the Lakes Region Plan.”

So you can imagine how surprised we were to wake up the next day and see this misleading headline from the Laconia Daily Sun for an article fraught with some pretty curious contradictions: “Tea Party members crash LRPC Open House”

Excerpt: MEREDITH — An open house at the Lakes Region Planning Commission’s office on the regional planning agency’s role in the Granite State Future project turned into a media event last night as local Tea Party activist Tim Carter grilled Kim Koulet, the LRPC’s executive director, about the project as Ed Comeau of Government Oversite Cam filmed the question-and-answer session.

Koulet at first had said that filming the discussion wouldn’t be permitted as it was not a public meeting but after objections were raised that the open house was taking place in a public facility filming was allowed to take place.

We find it rather strange LRPC Vice Chairman Warren Hutchin’s claim that the GSF plan comes “from the ground up” when the regional planners are unelected boards with no authority, and yet, can manage to bypass local officials while rejecting local input on proposed new laws, ordinances, and fees outlined in their documentation of goals and objectives. The fact that their “listening sessions” are often “facilitated” by hired corporate PR firms is another red flag. Few residents are even aware of these sessions which usually end up being attended mostly by public officials and companies who hope to gain work from the projects.

Hutchins’ claim that “the regional plan will be based on input from the 30 local communities” seems inconsistent with the fact that Carter and others like him find that their objections are not welcome. So far most input from the communities has been ignored, defying any such claim that the ideas are coming from the “ground up”.

We didn’t vote these regional planners in, and thus we can’t vote them out. How is this kind of lawmaking even legal? How is this the “NH Way”?

WELL, WHAT DO YOU SAY, FOLKS? 
IS THIS THE AMERICAN WAY? 
STAND UP.  SHOW UP. SPEAK OUT.  REFUSE TO COLLABORATE.

The "Open House" is a way Agenders avoid bringing the public together. I just experienced this in my town. It involved a transportation plan that extended to the year 2040(!) The "Open House" was about 3 hours. This keeps people from discussing the plan together or hearing what others have to say. The Open House material shows a fraction of what is actually in the over 200 page plan. Of course all over the Plan is written how they value public input. The reality: When I repeatedly asked why there was not public meeting I was told they're not required to hold one. And they flat out refused.

"The Plan" must pass to receive Federal funding and is a done deal. No one in the city is even looking at it – not the press, not the citizens. It vilifies "single-use" drivers repeatedly in the plan, instead pushing bicycle paths and pedestrian use, which the transportation agency(?) considers EQUALLY IMPORTANT as ROADS!

Btw, for those of you who are looking at transportation plans: Note the part that says the town/city is cooperating with Homeland Security. What might that mean? In my city it means the busses have cameras used for surveillance. These cameras can "see" for BLOCKS. They're not being used to keep passengers safe inside the bus. They're being used to record what's happening in the area the busses travel. Find out about this. Imagine busses traveling roads previously unscheduled to keep an eye on you, your property.

Btw, I do think we should start calling these ppl "Agenders" as I began this comment with. Why not label them with a word that fits?

The federal gov. is <a href="http://xmmlbchat.blogspot.com/2013/03/jersey-shore-homeowners-might-not-mind.html">trying to take over property from New Jersey shore homeowners</a> to ostensibly build dunes to protect against future storms like Sandy. Some owners are holding back because neither the feds. nor Chris Christie will guarantee that the gov. won't use the land for something else, and trying to take the land as a blank deed. Christie is saying they're all just selfish about their views, he's going to broadcast their names, look into eminent domain. Local commenter said it's not views, it's that Christie can't give them written guarantee of what the easements will be and that amusement parks won't be put up on them, etc. I did a post about it and thought <a href="http://xmmlbchat.blogspot.com/2013/03/jersey-shore-homeowners-might-not-mind.html">more should know that the fed. gov. is taking </a>over the precious Jersey shore.

    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.
