1 Attacking the Root: How does Agenda 21 infect us locally? Why it is important to understand how that happens. How to recognize the patterns and tenants of Agenda 21. What it is you can do? This is a list of modern day issues that beg the question; Do we really live in a free society? Economic factors: o Can we undue the phony fiat monetary system and begin to operate with a system of honest money? o Are we free to enter into free enterprise? o Are we being subsumed by globalist multinational corporate interests? 1

2 Environmental entanglements: Has the environmental movement resulted in destruction of the unalienable right to the use and enjoyment of property? Has the environmental movement resulted in an increasing loss of access to Wildlands and widening prohibitions on resource extractions? Does the environmental movement have an antipopulation, pro-population reduction thrust? Social and judicial issues: Is our social order being corralled and reshaped into a collectivist society? Is our system of justice being transformed from equal justice to social justice? Is private property being abolished? The Globalist invasion is happening right under our nose. Right here in Santa Cruz County! 2

3 Let s examine aspects of the Local Action Plan: ICLEI This is the most vulnerable globalist organization operating in America today. Presented by FreedomAdvocates.org 12 3

4 The full name is the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives. It is also called Local Governments for Sustainability. ICLEI is an important NGO that: Closely ties policy to man-made Global Warming and climate change. Has formed an international Congress filled with our city and county representatives. This Congress acts as a shadow World Government. Directs Planning and other local agencies with statutory and regulatory provisions that implement Sustainable policy locally. Local tax funds pay the contract fee. Globalist policymaking is fully invaded upon ICLEI s arrival. Santa Cruz was one of the first but now it is not alone. 600 cities, including Bloomberg led New York City, from all across the nation, have ICLEI contracts. Local governments have been hijacked by globalist operatives. 4

5 Each ICLEI city s influence is expanded as ICLEI then automatically steers Regional Air, and Water Boards, and many other regional transformational governance apparatus. ICLEI HUBS Presented by FreedomAdvocates.org 13 ICLEI has three contracts in this county and with another 175 other cities or counties in California. Here, ICLEI has long high standing relationships with both the city and county governments of Santa Cruz. ICLEI has a new and more junior member, the city of Watsonville. 5

6 Article 1 Section 10 prohibitions: No state shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance or Confederation. Neither may a city. Ask: Is contracting with ICLEI treasonous? I think so. In any event, contracts with ICLEI guarantee implementation of globalist political and economic policy. Drive city alliances with ICLEI out of Santa Cruz and out of all of America. Where s the Sheriff? Residents in Spokane, Washington and various cities in the Colorado plains are taking on their city s contract and contact with ICLEI. We are tracking this information at FreedomAdvocates.org. 6

7 Now, let s turn directly to: Does anyone smell collectivism? Transition Santa Cruz is lead by Ryan Coonerty, councilman and sometimes mayor. Transition Towns are headquartered in Great Britain. What I want to do is help make Santa Cruzan s aware of the local infiltration of globalist policy and help people understand how globalist political-economic policy is instituted locally so that we can escape its clutches. 7

8 A massive fifth column has been established right here in Santa Cruz County. A key to understanding Transition Towns is recognizing that the organization is founded and operated out of Great Britain. 8

9 Our sources in Great Britain inform us that Transition Towns are a creation of the British Fabian Socialist Society. One point in that regard: The London School of Economics is Fabian based. The founders of the school also were founders of the Fabian Society. Ryan Coonerty has a Masters degree from the London School of Economics. This all gives real meaning to the term British Invasion. 9

10 So much of the globalist invasion at the local level relies on the man-made global warming fraud. The unraveling of this masquerade has not yet hit the local scene. Transition Towns and ICLEI are vulnerable if citizens react soon enough. Now is the time. 10

11 Note how Santa Cruz city has appointed a Global Warming Czar. Realization of the fraud of man-made global warming scam has become the thrust of scientific opinion. 11

12 Big surprise! Santa Cruz politics intends to recreate your life! 12

13 13

14 What would our forefathers have thought had they known we would entertain such nonsense! 14

15 The Global Biodiversity Assessment Report labels single family housing as unsustainable. What we see with Transition Towns is local action for globalist goals. 15

16 16

17 Planned Communities may look nice. But what is behind them? Planned communities are Smart Growth. The local planning department is eager to pronounce Santa Cruz a Smart Growth town. What that means is that we are to live in tightly controlled environments, with high density, without autos and subject to smart system monitoring. Smart Growth is financed in large part with federal subsidies. Santa Cruz is recipient of 300 million federal dollars for use in Smart Growth Development. The County coordinated the assemblage of Aptos Village properties. This coordination put essentially the whole village into the hands of Barry Swenson, Builders. Swenson is set to receive $80,000 of subsidy for each Affordable 800 square foot apartment the Company builds. Other housing developers have similar arrangements with the county, including so-called non-profit housing developers. Such is a prototype example of a public private partnership. 17

18 Another example of public funding through Affordable housing programs of private development is the Felton Faire in Felton. There are many such arrangements in Santa Cruz County. This is how development works in this County. There are very many organizations in town that tie policy to the globalist Agenda. Santa Cruz has been operated as a prototype. That prototype comes with financial muscle as the affordable housing program illustrates. 18

19 Ecology Action is another example of how public private partnership builds its Action force though the use of non-profit corporations. 19

20 This is a building that will house the Santa Cruz Community Foundation. Community Foundations along with major family and corporate foundations are the financial underpinnings of Agenda 21. This new building is across the street from Safeway in Aptos. The land use program for the County often is facilitated through land use and or easement acquisition entered into by the Santa Cruz Community Foundation. Land all over the county is being acquired by the Foundation and other agents of the new, post private property, social system. 20

21 Much more is planned. Be aware. Recognize the big picture. In referencing Foundations and their commitment to Agenda 21 policies, there are few with the financial clout and none with the degree local input than Packard Foundation. This could the subject of a full night s seminar. Instead let me show you some posters hanging at Packard s Monterey Bay Aquarium. This display is designed to affect children A continuation of the indoctrination occurring in school. 21

22 22

23 A child is then ushered to the Make a Wish table to prove their new world usefulness. 23

24 There are very many organizations locally that promote globalism Sustainable Development. Some of them include Action Pajaro Valley, Valley Women s Club, Santa Cruz Action Network, Santa Cruz Farm Bureau, Local Chambers of Commerce and others. Illustration of how democracy works is this: Voters overwhelmingly rejected the coastal train scheme in This year, the regional unelected transportation authority, of its own volition, set about to purchase the rail line critical to the establishment of a Smart Growth community. As James Madison said, Democracy is as short lived as it is violent in its death. Sustainable Development pretends to have something for everybody. It does have something in mind for humanity. Sustainable Development is an economic system of public private partnership. Public private partnership is the economic foundation for establishing the slave society living under the principles mandated by the policies of world governance. 24

25 Mussolini called this same economic system Corporatism and the world learned it as economic fascism. What happens if people do nothing? America becomes the land of the collected and home of the enslaved. What can you do? Organize. Expose ICLEI Traitorous? Inform and motivate residents in local cities named earlier to take on their city fathers. Counter-action to ICLEI is, I believe, the 21st century shot to be heard round the world. Wouldn t it be ironic if Santa Cruz helped lead the restoration of America? Other cities have started that 25

26 process. Expose ICLEI! Visit FreedomAdvocates.Org to study: the ICLEI Primer, The Consensus Process and Agenda 21. The ICLEI Primer now includes city Charter amendments and a sample city ordinance ridding your town of its ICLEI contract. You can find a lot valuable information at our home page. There is a very deep reservoir of information, documentation and tools needed to fight for America s survival. The fight begins with informing more people about the nature of the battle and what is at stake. Let FreedomAdvocates.org help you in that process. People in the mountains need to organize to expose the connection between globalism and the Wildlands network that directs land use policy in our forests. Over time, we must cause the globalist concept of the Wildlands Network to be abandoned consider the alternative. 26

27 Santa Cruz urgently requires a new political direction with new political majorities. And you need them soon! To win we must act at the local level. Think nationally, act locally. Another thing you can do is to recognize and neuter local sovietization. How to fight the Soviet onslaught: Attend the meetings held by the kinds of organizations that I am discussing this afternoon. If you attend, learn how to break the planned consensus meetings operated through facilitation with predetermined outcomes. This is a simple study and very effective technique. Remember this is a first line of defense. When successful, the door opens for counter attacks by way of exposing the globalist transformation. Information is available at FreedomAdvocates.org regarding how a coordinated effort, undertaken by a few people, can break the local manufactured consensus that serves globalist objectives. 27

28 Spread the information Freedom Advocates Products Presented by FreedomAdvocates.org 39 Neighborhood tools have been developed to help regular people share the information produced by Freedom Advocates. These are designed for wide distribution for purposes of creating an informed public. Sun Tzu informed us that you cannot defeat your enemy unless you understand him. Distribute Understanding Sustainable Development Agenda 21. Let Common Sense prevail. Use our videos on Community TV, circulate Freedom Advocates 28

29 audios. Understand Globalism Agenda 21 Sustainable Development yourself and then widen the circle. Let our tools help you. The modern war is between Globalism vs. America. Let me show an illustration that captures the contrast between America and Globalism: 29

30 It is important that you prepare yourself for the ensuing onslaught. My advice for ordinary people, understanding that there can always be exceptions, is: Have barter Have access to food, grow it, store it or become part of an informed food collective Have personal defense Get out of debt if you can And Join - in the defense of America! 30

31 Conclusion The old expression and bumper sticker, Think Global Act Local can now take a meaning. This scheme has been in the works longer than any of us have been alive. Tony Blair is a former chairman of the British Fabian Society. George Bernard Shaw, a founding British Fabian Socialist said We will crawl like turtles for as long as it takes. When we see the finish line we will create a buzzing, whirling, confusion as we make our dash through the clearing as we get to the other side. Ladies and Gentlemen, that whirling blast to the finish line is what has begun to happen now. There is welcome news gathering from within. The globalists are stumbling all over themselves, the Global Warming scam is crumbling, the fiscal and monetary situations are becoming understood more broadly and the Sustainable pattern advancing globalism is becoming evident to many people. 31

32 For that welcome news to serve the interests of a free society, those who seek freedom must understand what we are fighting against, if we are to defeat the advance of tyranny. Understand Sustainable Development! We must also know what we are fighting for. Good Neighbors defending each other coupled with a renewing dose of equal justice are just what America needs. Only by winning the war undertaken by the globalist machinery, brought against the independence of this country and the independence of the individual, can we earn a second coming of America, the land of the brave and home of the free. Thank you and may God Bless America. 32
