WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT

 UN AGENDA 21

aka Local Agenda 21 & "sustainable development"

WILL SHOCK YOU!!!

Do you have a nagging feeling something is wrong, but you don't know exactly what?  Who controls the US?   Who writes our laws?       Is it our elected officials or a higher organization like the UN?  Do you know where our money comes from and how debt affects us? 

Join us Saturday, July 23^rd - 6pm                                              PJ Ryan's  231 Bridge St., Phoenixville - private downstairs meeting room

There will be a discussion about UN Agenda 21 Sustainable Development, Property Rights & our Money.  This meeting may help fill in some of the blanks that the media leaves out.  

Agenda 21 is a plan that calls for international control & regulation of virtually every aspect of human activity that might impact the environment, which is essentially EVERYTHING YOU DO - eat, drink, cook, drive, play, work, and LIVE.

Maurice Strong, UN Secretary General  - 1992  Rio de Janeiro United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) said "...Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class involving high meat consumption and large amounts of frozen and convenience foods, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and workplace air-conditioning, and suburban housing are NOT sustainable.  So, what does he mean by NOT Sustainable? http://sovereignty.net/p/sd/strong.html

Translation:  YOU will NO longer be allowed to have them.

J. Gary Lawrence, 1998 UK, UNEP Conference said ..."Participating in a UN advocated planning process would very likely bring out many... who would actively work to defeat any elected official... undertaking Local Agenda 21/Sustainable Development.  So, we call our process something else such as "comprehensive planning," 'growth management' or 'smart growth.'" http://www.unedforum.org/publications/millennium/mill%20paper2.pdf

Translation:  They will lie to you & deceive you so YOU won't know what they are really doing. This meeting is free & open to the public.                                Please come, listen and bring a friend.

'We Are Celebrating a Revolution': Listen to Limbaugh's Rousing July 4 Speech to Joplin, MO Residents

The Blaze | by Jonathon M. Seidl | Posted on July 5, 2011 at 1:13pm 

"Do you know what we're celebrating today?" Rush Limbaugh asked the electric crowd. "We are celebrating a revolution. We are celebrating the most unique revolution in the history of humanity."

That's how Rush began his rousing speech to residents of the tornado-ravaged town of Joplin, MO yesterday. He continued to talk about how America is not a country "chosen" by God but rather "blessed" by God. And, as the blog Reboot Congress describes, he also tackled American exceptionalism:

 RedState Morning Briefing

For July 6, 2011

1. I Think the Casey Anthony Verdict is a Good Thing

I have prided myself on not talking about this trial. But I think it is a wonderful verdict.

I don't know whether the woman killed her daughter or not. I have not kept up. But the media certainly thinks she did. And a lot of spectators think she did.

Here's the thing though - our justice system runs largely in the background of American conscience and as long as it does not come off the wheels, the public pays it little attention. Then something like this happens and it is a good reminder that neither judges nor juries nor government prosecutors are perfect and flawless.We live in a world where when the court says something is blue, we are all expected to bow to the judge and proclaim the something blue. When the court says something is constitutional, we are expected to do the same.

In the years between Plessy vs. Ferguson and Brown vs. Board of Education, nothing substantive affecting those decisions were placed in the constitution. And yet, the Court in Brown had to admit that the Court in Plessy was wrong. What had been constitutional was no longer constitutional.

Courts and people make mistakes. The greatest danger our society faces is the one we've already curled up in the fetal position and refused to make eye contact with - the oligarchy of the Judiciary.

The Casey Anthony trial is a state court case in Florida. But it was watched nationally by millions of people. I'll refrain from commenting on those people. But this afternoon, millions of people decided 12 jurors in Florida got it wrong and many of them think the government screwed up the case along the way.

It may be bad for the victim, but this reminder that courts should not and were never intended to be sacrosanct chambers of perfection is a very good thing.

2. The Casey Anthony Verdict is Not an Endorsement of Our Criminal Justice System

When the Casey Anthony verdict was announced I expected celebration from her defense team. I was more taken aback by the celebratory tone taken by pundits like Geraldo Rivera and Judge Andrew Napolitano. Their position is the same one that many liberals, anti-death penalty activists and libertarians are promoting now: this proves the system works.

But it doesn't.

3. Bobby Jindal's steadily-advancing re-election.

55 has two major meanings, in fact:

• First off, it's 'merely' Governor Bobby Jindal's approval rating in Louisiana last year - and unchanged, six months before the election*.
• Second, it's the number of signatures on the latest recall petition against Jindal - a petition that expires next week.

If you look at the above Politico article from December, you might suspect that the Politico author might just be the slightest bit disappointed in the second bullet point... although it's highly unlikely that the author's name would have been on the petition, even if she did live in Louisiana. Which is kind of the point.

4. The Greek Debt Swap: Is it a Default, or isn't it?

While you were watching imported Chinese fireworks yesterday, the Europeans were shooting off some home-grown ones.

The euro has been trading down for most of the last 24 hours, as S&P and Fitch announced that they would consider the French-led rollover plan for Greek debt a "selective" default.

What's really going on is that a negotiation is taking place over what should be the credit rating of Greece as an issuer, and of its particular debt issues. (Wouldn't it be nice if you could negotiate with ratings agencies over your credit rating, next time you have to borrow money?)

Greece has to "roll over" its existing debt (meaning, reissue it as it matures) without getting slaughtered on the interest rate or even failing to find lenders at all. And of course, they're running a budget deficit that's in the high single digits (ours is even higher, at about 11%), so they need to keep issuing brand new debt on top of the rolls.

5. Teamsters' Push For Shorter Hours May Leave Drivers Very Short On Pay

It is axiomatic-a given, if you will-that unions do not like workers to work overtime. Sure, they'll do it, but if unions had their druthers, the work week would be limited to 40 hours-in some cases unions prefer 35 hours. The reasoning is simple, the fewer hours worked, the more employees an employer must employ and, in a workplace where unions can require dues, the union makes more money.

6. Corporate Welfare Gets New Life in the House

Ronald Reagan once said that, "The closest thing to eternity is a government program." Case in point: The Export-Import (Ex-Im) Bank, which has made most every conservative list of programs to eliminate over the last few decades.

The House Financial Services Committee-controlled by Republicans-recently passed legislation (H.R. 2072) to reauthorize the Ex-Im Bank, which is nothing more than corporate welfare to corporations that export. It was passed without a recorded vote so we don't know who would have opposed the legislation, but the voice vote does tell us that a sufficient number of conservatives did not mobilize against the legislation in committee.

Obama's ICE amnesty puts us in physical danger as he tells the Middle Class to "go to hell"

Jul 05, 2011 06:13 am | Coach Collins

 By Kevin "Coach" Collins

  Obama's latest backdoor ICE amnesty will bring death to some innocent Americans; bank on that. By ordering ICE agents to virtually stop deporting illegal aliens Obama is importing fraudulent voters with serious diseases. He has deliberately placed us all in danger and said, "The American Middle Class can go to hell."    

Over the years Democrat presidents have betrayed America to various degrees. A feckless John Kennedy double crossed CIA efforts to overthrow Castro; Carter gave away the Panama Canal and Clinton sold the Chinese secret missile technology. Now Barack Obama may have topped these dubious "achievements" by stepping up his war on the Middle Class and threatening our very lives in his lust for power.  

Not content to tax us into numbing poverty and hopelessness, Obama is throwing our borders open to bring in fraudulent new Democrat voters without regard for the fact they are bringing deadly diseases with ...

After reopening Justice Department investigations into use of CIA enhanced interrogation, Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. admitted that he had not read the memos of his own department's lawyers explaining why no criminal laws had been violated.

Now, John Dunham, the assistant U.S. attorney in Connecticut assigned by Holder to re-investigate the cases, has concluded that the lawyers who closed the case were correct, and no criminal charges are warranted.

The re-investigation subjected former CIA officers to the chilling prospect of going to jail. As seven former CIA directors who served under Republicans and Democrats have said publicly, the probe sent a message to CIA officers that if they take risks in defense of their country, they may suffer consequences.

The Last Refuge of Liberty

When Madame Roland, the moderate French Republican, was a prisoner in the hands of the radicals, she wrote; "Oh my friends. Heaven grant that you may reach the United States-- that last refuge of liberty-- in safety!" Two-hundred years later, her "last refuge of liberty" is under siege by the same power hungry fanatics who turned the French Revolution into a reign of terror.

The modern Western republics were born out of military or political revolutions against a hereditary nobility. These revolutions led to republics, but did not allow the revolutionaries to replace them with a program of state controlled equality for very long. The most notorious example of such state control in France fell after a bloody reign of terror. The revolutionaries then moved on to the second phase of their program, targeting the democratization of wealth through free enterprise that had made a revolution against a hereditary nobility possible.

America 'gives way' to Islamic law

 

Chad Groening - OneNewsNow - 7/4/2011

  

A terrorism expert and critic of Islam says several recent disputes over dress codes illustrate how Islamic supremacists want to force the West into accommodating their religion's clothing standards.

Weightlifting's governing body recently agreed to modify its uniform rules to accommodate a Muslim woman, who argued that her religion requires that she cover her arms, legs and head. But that violates international rules governing weightlifting attire. Even so, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) successfully pressured the International Weightlifting Federation to change the rules and allow the woman to wear a one-piece "unitard" under her uniform.

In Quebec, The Canadian Press recently reported that a 15-year-old Montreal teen was told she could no longer referee soccer matches unless she removed her head covering, known as a hijab. So the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Canada has promised to apply pressure to convince the soccer association to change its dress code.

What's really at stake in Libya

By Pepe Escobar, ASIA TIMES

To follow Pepe's articles on the Great Arab Revolt, please click here.

Way beyond the impenetrable fog of war, the ongoing tragedy in Libya is morphing into a war of acronyms that graphically depicts the tortuous "birth pangs" of a possibly new world order.

On one side there's NATO (the North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and AL (the Arab League; on the other side, the African Union (AU) and the BRICS group (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa). Alternatively, this may be seen as the Atlanticist West and its counter-revolutionary Arab allies, against Africa and the emerging global economic powers.

Lies, lies and more lies
Much rumbling has emanated from the US Congress on Libya - centered on technicalities around the War Powers Act. Essentially, US lawmakers are so far refusing to authorize what walks like a war and talks like a war (and, according to the White House, isn't a war). There will be no more...

The Obama Doctrine Defined

By Ted Belman

Marc Zell, the former law parner of Douglas J. Feith brought Feith's article The Obama Doctrine Defined to my attention with this comment,

The article deftly avoids mentioning Israel, but captures the true essence of Obama's foreign policy, like no article before has done.

Of course it was co-authored by Seth Cropsey and published by Commentary.

The criticism has some validity, but it misses an important point: the administration's approach has logic and coherence in the service of strategic considerations that extend far beyond Libya.

Since his campaign in 2007 and 2008, Barack Obama has declared that he wants to transform America's role in world affairs. And now,in the third year of his term, we can see how he is bringing about that transformation. The United States under Barack Obama is less assertive, less dominant, less power-minded, less focused on the American people's particular interests, and less concerned about...

Cotler, like Dershowitz, is a liberal first. They both sold Israel out.

By Ted Belman.
A couple of years ago, the great Ezra Levant, a Canadian Jewish lawyer, who was the editor of the Western Standard that published the Danish Cartoons, had it up to here with Irwin Cotler. He put his feelings down in a special blog entry. Here it is. Thank G-d, the Liberal's lost power shortly thereafter to Stephen Harper's Conservatives. This spring Jews voted for the Conservatives in big numbers along with an increasing number of Canadians and Harrper won a majority government. Harper has a great record of standing by Israel even when he headed only a minority government.

EUROPEAN COALITION FOR ISRAEL PRESS RELEASE

Italian leaders unite to support Israel at historical meeting in the Senate Building in Rome

Rome, July 1st, 2011 - Political leaders from the Italian Senate, together with representatives from civil society and faith communities, gathered in the Italian Senate Building on Thursday to express their support for Israel as current threats develop. These include a new Gaza flotilla, a unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state in September and other forms of delegitimization of the Jewish State.

Former president of the Italian Senate, Marcello Pera, expressed the Italian sentiment well when he stated that "our Western democracies will not prevail unless we re-embrace our Judeo-Christian heritage." He said that "our support for Israel should not be based on guilt, but rather on pride in our common roots and values." - "Defending Israel simply means defending our values and our way of life," he...

Muslim Brotherhood to U.S.: Stop Backing Israel and We'll Talk

The Brotherhood demands "mutual respect". That's why you don't talk to terrorists. Ted Belman

by Elad Benari, INN

The radical Islamic group Muslim Brotherhood is ready to speak with the United States but is conditioning talks on America's support for Israel.

On Saturday, a spokesman for the group said it was prepared to talk with the U.S. He was responding to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's remarks late last week. Clinton had said the Obama administration wants to open a dialog with the group.

"We believe, given the changing political landscape in Egypt, that it is in the interests of the United States to engage with all parties that are peaceful and committed to nonviolence, that intend to compete for the parliament and the presidency," she told reporters in Budapest, Hungary, adding: "We welcome, therefore, dialogue with those Muslim Brotherhood members who wish to talk with us."

This was all preceded by weeks, even months, of intensive diplomatic activity ranging from work done on the ground in Athens by Israel's envoy there, Aryeh Mekel, to conversations last week between Netanyahu and his Greek counterpart - a man Netanyahu frequently characterizes publicly as "my friend" - George Papandreou.

And the diplomatic success wasn't limited to Greece. The diplomatic accomplishments vis-à-vis this flotilla include prodding UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to come out against the flotilla, getting US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to voice strong disapproval, having countries such as Britain, France and the Netherlands issue unequivocal travel advisories against taking part, making it difficult for the vessels to get insurance and ensuring that the Turks kept the Mavi Marmara from setting sail again...

Obama Administration Embraces the Muslim Brotherhood

 Meanwhile, our petition demanding reinstatement of Captain Fields passes 33,000 signers. Have you signed yet?


 Two seemingly unrelated actions are in fact very related: The Obama administrating embracing the Muslim Brotherhood (see Frank Gaffney's column below) and the demotion and suspension of Tulsa police Captain Paul Fields.

In both instances, the Muslim Brotherhood is at the heart of the issue. The Islamic center in Tulsa that held the "Law Enforcement Appreciation Day" is tied to Muslim Brotherhood front groups.

In both instances, government officials have made decisions to embrace the Muslim Brotherhood. The Obama Administration decision is more obvious, but when the Tulsa police chief suspended Captain Fields the net effect was to send a loud and clear message of appeasement to the Muslim Brotherhood's front organizations.

It's bad enough that Captain Fields was ordered to attend an Islamic proselytizing event. What makes it all the more damning is that the Islamic Center is actively tied to the Muslim Brotherhood.

We are fewer than 7,000 signers from our goal of 40,000 for the Captain Fields petition. If you have not yet done so, please sign the petition today and forward it to everyone you know. With your help we can reach our goal this week!

Soon we will announce the next action item for our campaign on behalf of Captain Fields.

Tea Party News
Tuesday, July 5th

Tea Partiers split over debt strategy Tea Party activists are split between opposing any new increase to the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling and tying an increase to spending cuts, caps and a balanced budget amendment. On one side is the Tea Party Patriots group, which is urging its supporters to sign a "no debt increase" pledge. On the other side are Tea Party-related groups with significant GOP establishment backing such as FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity. Tea Party Express has joined this side. These groups have joined a coalition calling for "Cut, Cap and Balance" to be the condition for a raising of the debt ceiling. This approach, developed by the Republican Study Committee, calls for "substantial cuts in spending that will reduce the deficit next year and thereafter," "enforceable spending caps that will put federal spending on a path to a balanced budget," and congressional passage of a balanced budget amendment. [The Hill, July 4] Click here for the complete source story Romney leads in fundraising, but Ron Paul is the big surprise. Mr. Romney's campaign is expected to report a second-quarter haul of between $15 million and $20 million. That is still more than three times as much as his nearest competitors. Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr raked in about $4.1 million, and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty amassed about $4.2 million, according to the Associated Press. But the biggest surprise may be Texas Rep. Ron Paul, a tea party favorite who surprised political analysts in 2008 with strong primary showings and even stronger fundraising tallies. In the second quarter, Mr. Paul pulled in nearly $4.5 million. Mr. Paul attributed his success to the fact that Republican voters realize that much of what he preached in 2008 - such as the need to dramatically reduce government spending or risk a debt crisis - has turned out to be right. Herman Cain raised about $2.5 million, according to his campaign. He said he had to "prime the pump" from his personal bank account. The campaigns of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania had not released second-quarter numbers as of Monday afternoon. [Washington Times, July 4] Click here for the complete source story Rand Paul Plans Debt-Ceiling Filibuster "We've not had one minute of debate about the debt ceiling in any committee. With no budget or appropriations bill in two years. I am part of the freshmen group in the Senate that's saying, 'No more.'" His stand is to filibuster so that debt ceiling talks will take place on the floor of the Senate. A group of conservative senators plan to present their own proposal to raise the debt limit, hand-in-hand with a balanced budget amendment. Paul isn't the first to make such a move. Last week, fellow Republican, Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson blocked all unanimous consent calls, the equivalent of halting any and all Senate business until debt ceiling debate took place on the floor. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada stopped him with a procedural move after about two hours.

Obama's Record Fundraising Comes Under Legal Scrutiny

Friday, 01 Jul 2011 

By David A. Patten

  

  

President Barack Obama's staggering second-quarter fundraising total - which some say could reach as high as $75 million - is expected to smash records and turn heads. But it also is drawing scrutiny from those who object that some of Obama's fundraising techniques are questionable, and possibly even illegal.

CNSNews.com reported Friday that election law experts are questioning the legality of a presidential video, filmed in the White House, in which Obama dangled a raffle for a dinner with him and the vice president, in return for a campaign donation.

Houston National Cemetery's Declaration of Independence

by Michelle Lancaster

Yesterday, I had the honor of attending the Religious Freedom Rally at the Houston National Cemetery with my husband Steve.  At this event, a coalition of Houston area pastors, representing a variety of ethnic and religious denominations, stood alongside several Texas politicians and local officials to support our veterans, their families, freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

 

 Tears began swelling in my eyes early as we drove off the Sam Houston toll road onto the feeder road to a complete stop well before the signal light to turn onto Veteran's Memorial Boulevard.  I felt great pride in knowing so many of my fellow Texans felt as we did and were able to attend this event.  We arrived with plenty of time, but with the turn out of what I'd say was close to 1,000 people, we ended up having to park at the far end of the cemetery and were a teeny bit late to hearing the first couple speakers.  But the hundred-degree heat was going to stop us. We all heard the call and we came.  As we walked up to the event, I heard "pardon the noise, but this is the sound of freedom."  Cheers roared throughout the crowd. How sweet it is.

Original Argument: The Lost Chapters. Translated by Joshua Charles

Glenn couldn't fit all the Federalist Paper translations into his #1 Bestselling book The Original Argument -- all this week you'll be getting the Lost Chapters. Today's is on the House of Representatives. Here's a sample:

In considering the periods of service for Federal Representatives, there are other perhaps less important considerations, but ones which we should think about nonetheless. The distance which many of the Representatives will be required to travel (along with the travel arrangements they'll have to make) could've been a much more serious objection among those who would be fit for this service if the period of service was limited to a single year, rather than extended to two years. The situation of the current representatives in the present congress will not provide any arguments related to this subject. While it is true that they are elected annually, their respective legislative assemblies consider their re-election as almost inevitable. The election of the Representatives by the People will not be governed by the same principle.

As happens in all such assemblies, a few Representatives will possess superior talent, will become long standing members of Congress after frequent re-elections, and will likely become very thorough masters of the public business, and thus perhaps not unwilling to avail themselves of these advantages. The greater the number of new Representatives, and the less information which is available to the bulk of them, then the more likely they will be to fall into the traps which have been laid for them. This remark is just as applicable to the relationship which will exist between the House of Representatives and the Senate.
