 Subject: Sustainable Development.  Unsustainable freedom.

 The opposite side of sustainable development is unsustainable freedom.
Sustainable development means government-managed integration of economic
development, environmental protection and social equity. The concept of
government-managed economic development is the opposite of free enterprise
and free markets. The concept of government-managed environmental protection
tramples the concept of private-property rights. The concept of
government-managed social equity penalizes individual achievement,
enterprise and excellence - and rewards the opposite.
 Sustainable development is government-managed development - freedom cannot
survive in a government-managed society.
 In a land that celebrates the recognition that "all men are created equal,"
with the inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, a
person can no longer live wherever he chooses. If the choice is outside the
urban boundary; in a critical habitat area; within the "view-shed" of a
scenic byway; or is inconsistent with any of the government's management
requirements, freedom is sacrificed on the altar of sustainable development.
 Moreover, those people who have chosen to live within what has been
designated as a buffer zone, or a proposed connecting corridor between
wilderness areas, are being forced off their land in order to reshape our
free society into a sustainable society.
  Klamath Basin farmers live in a proposed buffer zone. The Endangered
Species Act was the vehicle chosen to deprive the farmers of their water to
force them off the land. Although the farmers have won the battle for now,
it is a temporary victory. Environmental organizations have sued to force
the government to protect the fish and to force the people off the land.
  The bible of sustainability is Agenda 21, adopted at the U.N. Conference
on Environment and Development in 1992. The 10th anniversary of its adoption
will be celebrated at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in
Johannesburg, South Africa, Aug. 26 to Sept. 4, 2002. More than 40,000
proponents of global governance are expected to gather to adopt a plan of
action to speed the "wrenching transformation of society" into
sustainability. Agenda 21 was neither debated nor adopted by the United
States Congress. It was imposed by Executive Order in 1993. Congress has
allowed its implementation, and indeed, has adopted piecemeal legislation
that effectively moves America closer to compliance. The Community Character
Act,
which offers bribe money to states that adopt the "Growing Smart Legislative
Guidebook," is one example. This "guidebook" provides model legislation that
imposes sustainable development on local governments. The transformation of
public education - Goals 2000 and School-to-Work - is basic to transforming
society to sustainability. Schools no longer teach facts, knowledge and
information to prepare students to achieve their maximum potential. They
teach values, attitudes and beliefs to prepare students to cooperate in a
managed, sustainable society.
 Students are being required to choose their work field by the eighth grade,
and are guided toward the receipt of a "certificate of competence" in their
work field. Government-managed development will hire only certified workers.
Schools are being transformed to provide a managed workforce for a managed
economy. In education too, freedom is being sacrificed on the altar of
sustainable development. Six national organizations came together three
years ago to launch the Freedom 21 Campaign, in hopes of countering some of
the negative aspects of Agenda 21. Subsequently, Freedom 21 Santa Cruz was
organized to counter the impact of Local Agenda 21 in Santa Cruz - the first
local community to adopt a local version of sustainable development.
 Compared to the full force of the President's Council on Sustainable
Development, supplemented by hundreds of well-funded, orchestrated
environmental organizations, the Freedom 21 campaign is hardly a blip on the
Agenda 21 radar. But it is gaining traction.
 Armed with a full understanding of Agenda 21 and its corrosive effect on
freedom, local grassroots organizations are confronting elected officials
and winning battles for freedom. The "Smart Growth" legislation proposed in
Kentucky was soundly defeated. A Sierra Club-sponsored Smart Growth
initiative in Arizona was also soundly defeated. Sanibel, Fla.,
withdrew its endorsement of the Earth Charter. Florida's five-year
"Sustainable Development" pilot program was not renewed.  With increasing
frequency, freedom-loving individuals are interjecting themselves into
"visioning councils" and "stakeholder councils" to insist that property
rights and individual freedom be identified, valued and protected in all
visions of the future.

 "...current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle
class - involving high meat intake, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home
and work-place air-conditioning, and suburban housing - are not sustainable.
A shift is necessary. which will require a vast strengthening of the
multilateral system, including the United Nations..." 1
Maurice Strong, Canadian, Undersecretary Deputy to Kofi Annan, UN , opening
speech at the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development. [ you will
notice that Strong, a multi-millionaire, of the "upper class" is dedicated
to eliminating the "middle class". See EndNotes # 2. CLMsr. ]

 Agenda 21, the UN blueprint for global transformation, sounds good to many
well meaning people. Drafted for the purpose of creating "sustainable
societies", it has been welcomed by nations around the world. Political,
cultural, and media leaders have embraced its alluring visions of social
justice and a healthy planet. They hide the lies behind its doomsday
scenarios and fraudulent science. Relatively few consider the contrary facts
and colossal costs.

 After all, what could be wrong with preserving resources for the next
generation? Why not limit consumption and reduce energy use? Why not abolish
poverty and establish a global welfare system to train parents, monitor
intolerance, and meet all our needs? Why not save the planet by trading cars
for bikes, an open market for "self-sustaining communities," and single
dwellings for dense "human settlements" (located on transit lines) where
everyone would dialogue, share common ground, and be equal?

 The answer is simple. Marxist economics has never worked. Socialism
produces poverty, not prosperity. Collectivism creates oppression, not
freedom. Trusting environmental "scientists" who depend on government
funding and must produce politically useful "information" will lead to
economic and social disaster. 3

 Even so, local and national leaders around the world are following the UN
blueprint for global management and "sustainable communities," and President
Clinton is leading the way. A letter I received from The President's Council
on Sustainable Development states that.

 In April 1997, President Clinton asked the council to advise him on: next
steps in building a new environmental management system for the 21st
century... and policies that foster U.S. leadership on sustainable
development internationally. The council was also charged to ensure that
social equity issues are fully integrated .

 Many of our representatives are backing his plan. In a 1997 letter
congratulating the Local Agenda 21 Advisory Board in Santa Cruz for
completing their Action Plan, Congressman Sam Farr wrote,  The Local Agenda
21 Action Plan not only has local significance, it also will have regional
and national impacts. As you know, the President's Council on Sustainable
Development is beginning Phase III of its work with an emphasis on
sustainable communities.4

 This agenda may already be driving your community íís "development", so be
alert to the clues. Notice buzzwords such as "visioning," "partners," and
"stakeholders." Know how to resist the consensus process. Ask questions, but
don't always trust the answers. Remember, political activists, like
self-proclaimed education "change agents", have put expediency above
integrity. As North Carolina school superintendent Jim Causby said at a 1994
international model school conference, "We have actually been given a course
in how not to tell the truth. You've had that course in public relations
where you learn to put the best spin on things."5

 To recognize and resist this unconstitutional shadow government of laws and
regulations being imposed on our nation without congressional approval, take
a closer look at its history and nature.

Agenda 21..
 This global contract binds governments around the world to the UN plan for
changing the ways we live, eat, learn, and communicate - all under the noble
banner of saving the earth. Its regulations would severely limit water,
electricity, and transportation - even deny human access to our most
treasured wilderness areas. If implemented, it would manage and monitor all
lands and people. No one would be free from the watchful eye of the new
global tracking and information system.  This agenda for the 21st Century
was signed by 179 nations at the UN Conference on Environment and
Development in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Among other things, it called for a
Global Bio-diversity Assessment of the state of the planet. Prepared by the
UN Environmental Programme (UNEP), this GBA armed UN leaders with the
"information" and "science" they needed to validate their global management
system. Its doomsday predictions were designed to excuse radical population
reduction, oppressive lifestyle regulations, and a coercive return to
earth-centered religions as the basis for environmental values and
self-sustaining human settlements.

 The GBA concluded on page 763 that "the root causes of the loss of
bio-diversity are embedded in the way societies use resources." The main
culprit? Judeo-Christian values. Chapter 12.2.3 states that-

 This world view is characteristic of large scale societies, heavily
dependent on resources brought from considerable distances. It is a world
view that is characterized by the denial of sacred attributes in nature, a
characteristic that became firmly established about 2000 years ago with the
Judeo-Christian-Islamic religious traditions.

 Eastern cultures with religious traditions such as Buddhism, Jainism and
Hinduism did not depart as drastically from the perspective of humans as
members of a community of beings including other living and non-living
elements.6

 Maurice Strong, [ a Canadian citizen multi billionaire, Dpty Sec General
the UN ] who led the Rio conference, seems to agree. His ranch in Colorado
is a gathering place for Buddhist, Bahai, Native American, and other
earth-centered religions. Yet, while spearheading the restructuring of the
United Nations (see " World Heritage Protection?"), he also helped design
the blueprint for the transformation of our communities. And in his
introduction to The Local Agenda 21 Planning Guide, he called local leaders
around the world to "undertake a consultative process with their populations
and achieve a consensus on 'Local Agenda 21' for their communities."

 Achieving that consensus meant painting scary scenarios of a hurting, dying
planet that frighten children, anger youth, and persuade adults to submit to
the unthinkable regulations. (See "Saving the Earth") It means blaming
climate change on human activities and ignoring the natural factors that
have - throughout time - brought cyclical changes in climate, storm
patterns, wildlife migration, and ozone thinning (there has never been a
"hole").

 Natural factors you seldom hear about:
* the earth's orbit around the sun
 * the gravitational pull of the moon (affects tidal forces and trigger
volcanoes which cool the earth and produce El Ninos)
* major volcanic eruptions which affect the ozone layer far more than all
human activity
* sunspot activity (times of great solar turbulence which heat the earth and
recurs every nine to thirteen years)
* the earth's relationship to other stars and planets
* storm tracks
* the earth's magnetic field (deflects storm tracks)
* the annual decrease of stratospheric ozone each southern winter (our
summer) when the sun's seasonal absence prevents ultraviolet rays from
interacting with oxygen and producing ozone.

Local Agenda 21
 Chapter 28 of Agenda 21 specifically calls for each community to formulate
its own Local Agenda 21:
Each local authority should enter into a dialogue with its citizens, local
organizations, and private enterprises and adopt 'a local Agenda 21.'
Through consultation and consensus-building, local authorities would learn
from citizens and from local, civic, community, business and industrial
organizations and acquire the information needed for formulating the best
strategies. (Agenda 21, Chapter 28, sec 1,3.)

 This tactic may sound reasonable until you realize that the dedicated
"Stakeholder Group" that organizes and oversees local transformation is not
elected by the public. And the people selected to represent the "citizens"
in your community will not present your interests. The chosen "partners",
professional staff, and working groups are implementing a new system of
governance without asking your opinion.

 They probably don't even want you to know what they are doing until the
regulatory framework is well under way. You may read in your local paper
about "visioning", working groups, Total Quality Management, and partnership
between churches, welfare and social service agencies, and other community
groups. These are clues that, behind the scenes, the plan is moving forward.

 The goals and strategies are outlined in Sustainable America, the report
from our President's Council on Sustainable Development (PCSD). President
Clinton's PCSD is merely one of about 150 similar councils established by
nations around the world, all following guidelines from the United Nations
Commission on Sustainable Development.

 The same steps and strategies are detailed in The Local Agenda 21 Planning
Guide: An introduction to Sustainable Development. This "planning framework
for sustainable development at the local level" was prepared by The
International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) in
partnership with the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and the
International Development Research Centre of Canada. Remember, UNEP also
prepared the GBA which supposedly proves the environmental "crisis." Could
there be a conflict of interest here?

 ICLEI's step-by-step plan for transforming communities was made available
to reporters during the 1996 UN Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat II)
. I started to read my bulky copy on the flight home from Istanbul. I soon
learned how Stakeholders can broaden their working base and still maintain
the original consensus: they simply seek partners who share their vision.
After all, partners who challenge the Stakeholders' ideology would cause
gridlock and slow progress. (Such gridlock is one of many criticism of the
American political system voiced at various global conferences.)

 The ICLEI Planning Guide suggests that Stakeholders select two kinds of
people to serve their agenda: (1) ordinary people who don't have "a stake"
in the old system and would expect to gain power by establishing a new
political system, and (2) media, business, political, church, and education
leaders who must be wooed and persuaded to promote the transformation within
their sphere of influence. The following ICLEI list includes both:
A. Community Residents: women, youth, indigenous people, community leaders,
teachers
 B. Community-Based Organizations: churches, formal women's groups,
traditional social groups, special interest groups
C. Independent Sector: Non-governmental organizations (NGO). academia, media
D. Private/Entrepreneurial Sector: environmental service agencies, small
business/cooperatives, banks
E. Local Government and Associations: elected officials, management staff,
regional associations
F. National/Regional Government: planning commission, utilities, service
agencies, financial agencies.7

 All participants must embrace the collective vision of a "sustainable
community". They must commit to pursue the three E's of "sustainable
development": Environment, Economy and Equity referring to the UN blueprint
for environmental regulations, economic controls, and social equity.

 "Sustainable development is a process of bringing these three development
processes into balance with each other," states ICLEID's Agenda 21 Planning
Guide on page 21. "The implementation of a sustainable development strategy
therefore involves negotiation among the primary interest groups
(stakeholders) involved in these development processes. Once an Action Plan
for balancing these development processes is established, these stakeholders
must each take responsibility and leadership to implement the plan."

 Meanwhile, opposing voices must be silenced. "Implementing the 'sustainable
agenda' requires marginalizing critics," says Craig Rucker, Executive
Director of CFACT, a conservative public interest group in Washington, D.C.
dealing with consumer and environmental issues. He explains,  Distinguished
scientists who disagree with the globalist agenda are ridiculed and said to
speak for conservative interests or industry (whether or not they receive
industry funding) and their scientific arguments are never heard. Some of
these marginalized critics are very distinguished scientists, like Dr.
Frederic Seitz, former president of the National Academies of Science and a
sharp critic of ozone depletion and global warming theories, Dr. S. Fred
Singer, who help establish the satellite and balloon measuring devices to
track global warming, and Dr. Edward Krug, who served on NAPAAP, among
others. Some, like Dr. William Happer were even fired from their jobs
questioning environmental dogma (in his case, on the issue of ozone
depletion).8

 Ignoring these facts, nearly two thousand communities around the world are
following this UN blueprint for change with support from ICLEID - and
subject to its tracking system. Apparently the Santa Cruz model is leading
the way in the United States.

 Local Agenda 21-Santa Cruz was birthed in 1993 by the local chapters of the
United Nations Association and ACTION (Agenda 21 Community Team Work in
Operation). The original stakeholders began to "envision a sustainable
future," choose compatible "partners", and organize the twelve Round Tables
which evolved into twelve Special Focus Areas (for summaries of each plan,
read Local Agenda 21 Pt.2 -Santa Cruz - Key points from the  twelve Focus
Groups):
 Agriculture
 Biodiversity & Ecosystem Management
 Education
 Energy
 Housing
 Population
 Public Health
 Resources and Recycling
 Social Justice
 Toxic Technology & Waste Management
 Transportation
 Viable Economy

 Each item is linked to special interest groups, non-governmental
organizations, and globalist advocates who have been given authority (by no
elected official) to plan the regulations that will control our lives.

 Would you like a glimpse of the special interest groups that guide this
Agenda? Its list of donors and supporters includes feminist, globalist,
environmental, and welfare organizations such as the Sierra Club,
Earthlinks, Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, Greener
Alternatives, Pacific Bell, Peace Child, United Nations Association-USA,
Environmental Ecological Services, Change Management System, Countywide
Joint Task Force on Sexual Harassment, Prevention and Education, and the
Human Care Alliance (about 80 service providers and community groups), and
the Welfare and Low-Income Support Network. Remember, "welfare" means far
more than caring for the needy. Social service leaders tend to push a
socialist agenda and many have little tolerance for Christians who resist
their intrusive family policies.

 The National Organization for Women (NOW), The Regional Alliance for
Progressive Policy, Women's International League for Peace & Freedom, and
Beyond Beijing (primarily feminists who attended the 1995 UN Conference on
Women) are all part of a Task Force helping establish the guidelines for the
Social Justice (Equity) and welfare branch of the Agenda. According to Local
Agenda 21-Santa Cruz, their focus is the exploration of viable means to
"alleviate the violence of poverty."

 To eliminate poverty and to create the laws and incentives that will
establish environmental, social and economic "equity", the people must
embrace the new paradigm (or world view). They must accept the new global
values touted by the GBA and learn to see social issues from a global
perspective. "Local efforts should focus on community education and
outreach, grassroots organizing, and monitoring the impacts of federal
welfare reform implementation," states Santa Cruz' Local Agenda 21 Action
Plan. Indeed, life-long education is the heart of the agenda. Who would
willingly give up cars, private back yards, and freedom to hike in local
forests unless they share a vision that's worth the sacrifice?

 The agenda for education. In the fall of 1994, President Clinton's Council
on Sustainable Development (PCSD) came to the Presidio - the former army
base in San Francisco that now houses the Gorbachev Foundation USA and
dozens of other globalist and environmental organizations networking with
the United Nations. Here, overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, they met with
The National Forum on Partnerships supporting Education about the
Environment.

[ At the Presidio, the Gorbachev Foundation also includes the Green Cross
organization. It is a Gorbachev program for helping the American Citizen to
better understand Russia and the Russian People. It is a group of Russian
ex-Communist (if there is such a thing) politico's of 100, all on the
payroll of the U. S. Govt, with salaries and all expenses paid by you and I,
the taxpayer. CLMsr. ]

 Their joint report, "Education for Sustainability," became a model for
sustainable education. According to the Santa Cruz Action Plan, it focused
on 6 themes:
*Interdisciplinary approaches
*Lifelong Learning
*Systems thinking (See "World Heritage Protection?)
*Partnerships
*Multicultural perspectives
*Empowerment

 To understand these terms and the new international education system they
represent, you may want to read Brave New Schools. Those who don't realize
that today's change agents hide globalist ideology behind traditional words,
can easily be drawn into the web of deception by the noble sentiments. These
arguments from the Education section of Santa Cruz Local Agenda 21 show how
persuasive their propaganda can be to an unsuspecting public:

 "In light of the current world situation, including the obvious degradation
of the global ecosystem, population crisis, outbreaks of violence... there
is an obvious need for education that puts forth a clear vision of a whole
system of ecological thinking. In recent years, there has been a great deal
of emphasis on environmental education and nature studies, but little has
been done to teach about eco-efficiency, sustainable lifestyle practices,
and the worldwide movement concerning sustainable development.

 "The overall understanding is that we must learn from nature how to create
sustainable communities--- observing: interdependence and organization, form
and substance, the pattern of life, cooperation and partnership, and
diversity.... A broader perspective (beyond schools) must be encouraged,
including proactive learning opportunities throughout the community.

 "Educational and rewarding volunteer opportunities exist throughout SCC.
Most Americans are ill equipped to make the lifestyle changes necessary to
turn the degradation around. Our collective experience over time has shown
that knowledge alone does not necessarily change behavior and incite people
to action. Support structures and incentives are also needed."

 This UN directed education plan has already become familiar to many of us.
The international system - built on the UNESCO goals that our government
embraced with the introduction of America 2000 and the adoption of Goals
2000 - has already transformed our schools. Listen to these familiar
policies listed in the Local Agenda 21.

[ You will note that President Reagan took the USA out of the UNESCO program
because of its destructive agenda to American ideals. Also you will note
that George W Bush, President, 2003, has put the USA back into the UNESCO
program. Why? CLMsr. ]

 "Educational systems encourage relevant, experimental learning and promote
a sustainable, healthy life for all beings. Students embrace global
interdependence and the need to adopt fully sustainable practices locally
and globally....  Focus is placed on teaching how to learn and how to enjoy
learning. This involves:

1. Cooperative learning in groups which is learner-directed, empowering and
participatory.

 2. Development of an integrated core curriculum at all levels which
emphasized the theme of unity and interdependence of humanity, all species
and the Earth.

 3. Development of an integrated core curriculum at all levels which
emphasized the theme of unity and interdependence of humanity, all species
and the Earth.

4. Student participation in developing their own curriculum.

5. Mixed age groups in the learning process."

 Learning that seems "democratic" (in contrast to authoritative) and
cooperative (in contrast to individual) is key to winning the consent of the
masses. All ages must participate, and each group member becomes accountable
to the group - and to the politically correct "science" information used by
the trained facilitator to move the dialogue toward the "right" choices and
actions. Few realize the extent of the manipulation. See Brainwashing in
America.

 In the Soviet Union, this Hegelian dialectic (consensus) process was used
to shift the loyalties of Soviet children from absolute truths to the
evolving soviet ideology. Today it is used in American schools, communities,
and workplaces - with support and direction from the President's Council on
Sustainable Development and other NGOs that share its global vision.

 Far-reaching Networks. Are you confused by all the organizations, programs,
and buzzwords that fit into the big picture? Do you find it hard to match
the pieces in this immense puzzle? I do. One reason so few people try to
understand the patterns of change is its complexity. And it gets worse.

 "Encourage networking," states the Santa Cruz Action Plan. You saw the
links between feminist, environmental, welfare, and government groups. But
countless other groups and organizations are also involved in the endless
web of deception. No wonder, since networking, like dialogue, helps spread
the nets that will pull in the masses.

 Last year, I received from the PCSD a published report titled Public
Linkage, Dialogue, and Education. It was prepared by the PCSD Task Force on
Public Linkage, Dialogue, and Education. To plan the initial draft, this
group met in the Officers Club at the Presidio with various global, UN, and
environmental leaders now housed at the former Army base. This draft
included a call for a linkage between "job opportunities" and education
standards for politically correct "understanding" of environmental,
economic, and social issues from a global perspective:

 "Develop essential learning standards on sustainable development for all
students in order to promote a basic understanding of the interrelationship
between environmental, economic and equity issues and a basic competency in
sustainable living. Meeting learning performance standards will help ensure
job opportunities in an emerging sustainable economy and promote responsible
citizenry in a global, interdependent society."9

 Considering the background of this "international roundtable", it's no
wonder that the final report calls for a shift in public consciousness from
the old nationalistic-free enterprise system to the new globalist-socialist
paradigm. Its main three objectives were to-

 * Ensure that awareness, knowledge, and understanding of sustainability
become part of the mainstream consciousness, both nationally and
internationally.

 * Awareness and concern about environmental, economic, and equity issues
must become firmly rooted in public consciousness.

* Engage key domestic constituencies in a dialogue about sustainability to
produce consensus.

 * Foster the skills, attitudes, motivation, and values that will redirect
action to sustainable practices and produce the commitment to work
individually and collectively toward a sustainable world.

 * Individuals must bring their actions into accord with a sustainable
future. Conflict resolution skills must be applied to organize groups to act
on issues related to sustainability."10

 Remember, those who define the terms will write the rules. Those whose
"science" will "educate" the masses, will control public beliefs and
behavior.

 In Santa Cruz, the PCSD Task Force on Linkage, Dialogue, and Education
helped launch The Household EcoTeam Program and Sustainable Lifestyle
Campaign in Santa Cruz County. Household EcoTeam? Sustainable Lifestyle
Campaign? We know the government wants to train parents in politically
correct child-raising. Do they also want to train households in politically
correct lifestyles?

 They certainly do. In partnership with Global Action Plan and ACTION-Santa
Cruz, the above PCSD Task Force "helped participants implement sustainable
lifestyle practices in their own households as they worked together on a
team with a trained coach and followed a workbook focusing in 6 action
areas" (reducing garbage, water efficiency, home energy efficiency,
transportation, eco-wise consuming, & empowering others).11

 Other links include the National Association of Counties and the U.S.
Council of Mayors. Following recommendations from the PCSD, they "have
established a Joint Center for Sustainable Communities to facilitate
collaborative planning."

 Remember, the PCSD is linked to the UNCSD (UN Commission on Sustainable
Development), which is linked to more than 150 other nations implementing
Agenda 21, which are linked to ICLEID, which is linked to the Canadian
government, which is linked to the United Nations, which Is linked to the
Presidio, which is linked to ACTION-Santa Cruz, which is linked to Global
Rivers Environmental Network, which is linked to the American Heritage
Rivers Initiative, which is linked to the White House, which is linked to
the Department of Education. and on and on.

 Everything is linked to Total Quality Management, the process for managing
and monitoring the development of human and natural resources as well as
commercial products. Schools, corporations, and government are adopting TQM
management, and Santa Clara County is no exception. The concept of
"continual change" is central to TQM, and the Santa Cruz Action Plan follows
suit. Every part of this list from its education plan relates to TQM:

 "Continue to prepare students for rapid change by teaching: ...critical
thinking, creative thinking, problem solving, cooperative learning, student
self assessment, multi-cultural equity, the use of interactive technologies
to foster learning & collaborative problem solving."

 Social Justice. Remember the stakeholders that are defining social justice
and preparing its standards? They include NOW, Beyond Beijing, social
welfare leaders, environmental groups - all the voices that demand the
abolition of Western culture, male leadership, and biblical absolutes. Look
at their vision for Santa Cruz County:

 "Desired State: A Paradigm Shift We envision a community that stretches
itself from its historical conditioning and ethnocentric comfort zones to
increased cross-cultural empathy and understanding - a community that avoids
oppressive hierarchies, but instead passionately advocates for inclusion,
respect and cooperation with all members."

 Politically correct tolerance sets a new standard for communication and
inclusiveness. It immediately disqualifies biblical Christianity as
exclusive, hateful, patriarchal, and intolerant. Their list of practical
suggestions for change matches their vision:

* Train facilitators for the "paradigm shift" to be wholistic supporters of
the value of diversity.

* Develop an interagency approach to intolerance abatement.

 * Encourage the business sector to hold managers accountable for promoting
minorities and women into management.

* Create a design for teaching the principle of universal security.

 * Continue with forums, meetings, events, and expand our social justice
library with books, tapes, video tapes for community TV, and literature
available for interested people...

* Involve college students and professors in social justice issues.

* Bring in speakers; support individual clubs.

 Of course, their utopian plan won't work. People aren't naturally good.
Fifty years ago, the Holocaust opened our eyes to human depravity, but many
have forgotten its message.

 Modern socialist leaders claim to know how to manipulate human nature. "We
have to make better people," urged Shirley McCune at the 1989 Governors
Conference on Education. Nineteen years earlier, the ASCD (Association for
Supervision and Curriculum Development, the curriculum branch of the NEA)
published To Nurture Humaneness in which Professor Raymond Houghton wrote,
"The critical point of behavior control, in effect, is sneaking up on
mankind without his self-conscious realization that a crisis is at hand. Man
will not even know that it is about to happen."12

 This horrendous mission is now pressing forward under the banners of Agenda
21 and its partners around the world. Only a solid, unshakable commitment to
truth will enable us to stand our ground. Only a clear understanding of the
evil forces driving this agenda will enable us to resist the mental
manipulation used to induce compliance.

 If we didn't know that our God has the future well under His control, we
would have every reason to fear. Many live in denial, refusing to face the
painful facts that expose this covert revolution and the gradual loss of our
freedoms - including the freedom to express our faith and share the gospel.

 I don't know when my Lord will return, but I have no doubt that Americans
will soon face the hostilities that are part of the normal Christian life.
"If they persecute me, they will persecute you," said Jesus - and there is
no reason to believe that Americans have somehow earned the right to escape
the suffering that has molded faithful, single-minded, pure-hearted
Christian for almost 2000 years.

 As we stand together against the forces of evil, let's pray that God show
each of us how we can best serve His plan and purpose.

 Let's not get sidetracked by peripheral issues, but "let us lay aside every
weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with
endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus." (Hebrews
12:1-2)

 Remember, when Jesus told His disciples about the hard times ahead, He
added these words of comfort,
"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the
world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the
world." (John 16:33).

feminist movement in this transformation, read Brave New Schools and A Twist
of Faith.

Subject: (ALLYX) REGIONAL GOVERNANCE IS HERE

There are currently six Regional Commissions in place, or pending final
approval, which impact states from New York to California; from Florida to
Washington. Few people realize that these regional commissions even exist,
or
the growing influence they have over the lives of ordinary people, by
providing the mechanism through which appointed individuals, rather than
elected officials, develop public policy.

The Appalachian Regional Commission, created in 1965, was the pilot project,
created to provide federal funding for the poverty-stricken counties
throughout Appalachia. The Commission brought new roads and improved
infrastructure to poor counties, and was widely accepted by local
governments.

Next came the Columbia River Gorge Commission, in 1986, with a different
objective, and a different organizational structure. This commission was
mandated by Congress, and required the States of Washington and Oregon to
create the commission as defined by the legislation. This commission has
become a nightmare, beyond the reach of either state government, or
Congress, short of repealing the Act altogether. This appointed commission
has absolute authority over all land use within the designated counties,
with the authority to override both county and state elected officials.

The regional governance concept began in earnest with the Clinton-Gore
administration. On the heels of the President's Council on Sustainable
Development, came the President's Community Empowerment Board, chaired by
Vice President Al Gore, which included 26 federal agencies. Through these
initiatives, the Delta Region Study Commission was formed to advance the
work of the Lower Mississippi Valley Ecosystem Restoration Initiative.

For eight years, this study commission, funded by Congress, defined and
catalogued every facet of economic, social, and environmental activity
throughout the 240 counties in eight states designated by the commission.
The
study commission became the Delta Regional Authority, on December 27, 2000,
when enabling legislation was attached to the Farm Bill in the lame-duck
session of Congress. The bill also created the Northern Great Plains
Authority, covering North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, and Nebraska.
This Authority receives $1.5 million through the Farm Bill, but President
Bush has not included it in his 2005 budget, nor has a federal co-chair been
nominated.

The Delta Authority, or Commission, is governed by co-chairs, one appointed
by the President, Patrick H. Johnson who has one-half vote; and the other
co-chair with one-half vote, who are the collective governors of the
participating states. All the governors together have one-half vote, which
must represent the majority of the governors. One vote is required to
approve projects.

Using the data collected over the years, the Delta Regional Commission
directs federal funds to projects it deems to be appropriate, and which meet
the principles of "sustainable development." Projects are developed by
"stakeholder councils," and proposed through "empowerment zones," and
"enterprise communities." These stakeholder councils are often the same
people, and the same councils, that serve as "visioning councils" in
communities where "Smart Growth," Heritage and Historic areas, scenic
byways, recreational trails, and ecosystem restorations are being planned.

Two new Regional Commissions are awaiting final approval by this Congress:
the Southeast Crescent Region (HR141), which includes seven states from
Florida to Virginia, and the Southwest Border Region (HR1071), which
includes California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.

While these quasi-governmental regional authorities have brought new federal
dollars to many communities, they are also eroding the authority and
accountability of local and state elected officials. Moreover, they are
slowly
transforming the processes of representative government.
The governors who sit as co-chair on these Authorities, are mere figureheads
; the work is done by appointed staff on loan from state and federal
agencies. Because these Authorities are multi-jurisdictional, they operate
beyond the
control of any county or state. They are controlled only by Congressional
appropriation to the various agencies that supply money to the regional
authorities. Since the Clinton-Gore years, virtually all federal agencies
have worked to advance the principles of sustainable development, as set
forth in Agenda 21, and by the President's Council on Sustainable
Development.

Stakeholder councils are driven by activists at the local level, promoting
their particular agenda assignment, such as: Heritage areas, Historic sites,
open space, mass transit, watershed protection, wilderness restoration, and
growth boundaries. Typically, these councils consist of representatives of
special-interest, non-government organizations, and employees of local,
state, and federal government agencies. Ordinary taxpayers are
systematically discouraged from participating in these groups, although the
councils are said to represent the public.

These are the groups that dictate public policy through the design of
"sustainable" projects they know will be acceptable to the funding agencies.
Local elected officials can either accept the projects, or be ridiculed for
rejecting federal money.

Fronts in the culture war


Those who are on the defense in the culture war are having to confront
attackers coming at them from many directions. Here are just some of them:

1. Government schools
Some call it "education", but it is really revisionist history, championing
multi-culturalism and homosexuality, school to work, and no child left behind.
Whatever they call it, it's BRAINWASHING not EDUCATION.

"The big problem in the long process of dumbing down the schools is that you
can reach a point of no return. How are parents who never received a decent
education themselves to recognize that their children are not getting a decent
education?"
--Thomas Sowell

2. Environmentalism
This includes those who proclaim the advance of "global warming", those who
support the globalist "sustainable development" agenda, the EPA attack lobby,
and those who use the Endangered Species Act to obstruct and destroy private
property rights. You can no doubt think of others. Among them will be ELF --
the eco-terrorist group that has destroyed car dealerships and construction
projects -- and the "green" activists who were able to prohibit clearing dead trees
from many national forests, leading to the wild fires common the the American
West.

3. Homosexual marriage
The real aim is not to attain a "right", but to undermine and destroy a long
standing element of the culture. Those who claim otherwise are "useful idiots"
(unwitting fellow travelers) of the puppeteers running the show.

4. Animal rights groups
What will be next, animal marriage?

5. Gun control
This is a euphemism for gun confiscation. It has led to genocide and the deaths
of over 100,000,000 unarmed subjects by their governments. Nazi Germany,
Communist USSR, and Communist China are but a few examples.

Most people can't be trusted, so we should have laws against guns,
which most people will abide by, because they can be trusted.
Criminal: A person who does not obey the law and who can't be trusted.

Gun control is not about GUNS, it's about CONTROL.

6. Complicit media
The mainstream media are ardent propagandists for all of the above.
