To be is to be contingent: nothing of which it can be said that "it is" can be alone and independent. But being is a member of paticca-samuppada as arising which contains ignorance. Being is only invertible by ignorance.

Destruction of ignorance destroys the illusion of being. When ignorance is no more, than consciousness no longer can attribute being (pahoti) at all. But that is not all for when consciousness is predicated of one who has no ignorance than it is no more indicatable (as it was indicated in M Sutta 22)

How can you be against clean air, public transportation, affordable housing, and protecting the beauty of the natural environment?

 ‘The idea was OK,’ she said, ‘it was the execution that was disastrous.’ This is a signature of UN Agenda 21. How can you be against clean air, public transportation, affordable housing, and protecting the beauty of the natural environment? The idea is OK but the execution--BY DESIGN--is disastrous. That is the point. The idea is the candy coating, the execution IS the desired outcome. As Joseph Conrad wrote in The Heart of Darkness: The horror.

You must know by now that every crisis we’ve seen (Stock Market, Housing Crash, Energy Cost Spike) has been engineered in accordance with UN Agenda 21. Gretchen Morgenson puts the blame on ‘greed’ but it’s much more than that. Greed was used as the leverage for drawing these high level thieves into position to allow the markets to crash. As long as banks were guaranteed bailouts, individual CEOs were made wealthy, and regulators looked the other way, UN Agenda 21 could be implemented. Another way to look at this is to say that everything that did happen was meant to happen by your government. Inflated bubbles that were enabled and created by lack of government oversight point to your government as the source. What are the consequences? None. Huge bailouts, no jail time, no confiscated personal assets.

This was the sinking of our country, the devaluation of our land, the crash of our economy, and the systemic vulnerability that we recognize as the antidote to the “unsustainable affluence of Americans.” Now we are ripe for Smart Growth (stacked apartments along transit corridors), public transportation (loss of individual mobility due to high costs), domestic spying (Community Oriented Policing programs), deep unemployment (willingness to do whatever it takes to feed ourselves), and loss of our basic freedoms.

Because in Communitarianism, the ‘problem’ is created, the ‘solution’ is the outcome that you never would have agreed to without the urgency of the problem. So the ‘problem’ is: not enough low income home ownership. The ‘solution’ is: trick a lot of people who don’t qualify for loans into escalating debt situations and bankrupt them. I got three real estate loans myself during the 2003-2005 period and my mortgage broker really pressured me to take adjustable rate loans. I asked him if they came with a handbook on bankruptcy and I took the fixed rate. But that was because I have some experience—even he has now lost his home to foreclosure.

The real result of the dialectic? The housing crisis (shift of private property ownership) and financial system collapse. Except the financial system didn’t collapse, did it? No. It got bailed out and the smaller players got absorbed into their larger rivals. Consolidation of wealth and power. And you’re paying for it with double digit unemployment and total market uncertainty for the long term. The poor became destitute, the middle class is evaporating, and the rich are partying on the moon. Wonder where the money went? Take a look at some of the fabulous buildings that have been constructed in Dubai. The famous rotating skyscraper is a good one. I hear that George Bush has an apartment there. Seriously. Private property ownership will be reserved for the super-rich only.

Now our cities have far-flung suburbs with many empty buildings that are not contributing to the tax base. Remember that one of the goals of UN Agenda 21 is to ‘reduce sprawl?’ Here’s something you may not have heard of yet: A proposed one trillion dollar federal program to enable local governments to purchase vacant residential, commercial, and industrial properties from banks and demolish them. Why?

So that more green space can be created in cities. They call this turning redfields (vacant bank-owned properties in the ‘red’) to greenfields (parks and open space).

In this fantasy world of more and more federal money created out of thin air, underperforming property held in private ownership will be converted to publicly-held open space. Your city, which now can’t keep your existing parks watered and maintained, will acquire bank-owned land. In this sort of perfect UN Agenda 21 spin, all of the people in Smart Growth buildings downtown need a place to play. It has to be a public place because government can’t observe you when you’re in your backyard. In another ‘rescue’ of banks and as a part of UN Agenda 21’s war on private property, existing buildings will be demolished and private land taken off of the property tax rolls. Demolition of buildings (how’s that for a greenhouse gas/carbon generating/landfill glutting solution) and building parks will ‘create jobs’ in this scenario.

Let’s say it again: ONE TRILLION DOLLARS of federal money is proposed for this ‘land-based approach to solving America’s economic crisis.’ That quote is from the Urban Land Institute’s January/February 2010 article From Vacant Properties to Green Space. It covers the ‘story’ that City Parks Alliance, of Washington, DC is developing a federal funding strategy for this scheme.

Can we put this together?


Step by step: UN Agenda 21 sets the stage for high density development in cities.

Redevelopment agencies subsidize development for Smart Growth. Only some favored builders are in on the money train.

Banks were urged in the Clinton administration to loosen their loan criteria and let the money flow.

Developers built more and more commercial and residential buildings, glutting the market.

The economic collapse was engineered to cover the migration of business and production out of the US.

The stock market crash was engineered to suck wealth out of the middle class and destabilize their retirement.

The TARP bail-out was pay-back for the banks and consolidated their power by allowing them to take over smaller banks.

The crashed economy is a staged event and encourages agitation for more social programs, along with the vilification of property ownership. Those who own private property are ‘greedy.’

As people lose their homes to foreclosure and their steady employment vanishes, they will be more willing to live in government subsidized apartments in the center of cities. Neighborhood cohesiveness will be a thing of the past. There will be less people to object to loss of private property rights. Proposals to stop the federal mortgage interest tax deduction will be more easily accepted, thus threatening private home ownership. The press obligingly writes articles about the miseries of home ownership and extols the virtues of living in a condo (maintenance-free!) or apartment (move when you want!) next to the train tracks.

Instead of ‘social equity’ we’re seeing a transfer of wealth from the middle class to the rich, as foreclosed property gets snapped up at deep discounts by those with cash.

High unemployment and government assistance contributes to overall government indebtedness and continues the spiral of reducing our standard of living.

Private car ownership will become unaffordable through high gasoline prices, high parking costs in city centers, and vehicle miles traveled taxes, and wages can be lowered to reflect the ‘savings.’

The redfields to greenfields conversions in the suburbs allow cities to demolish buildings and close off services to those areas. Redevelopment dollars, your property tax dollars, will be used for these projects.

Rural roads will not be paved, making rural property less valuable, banks will foreclose and local government will buy for pennies on the dollar. Less and less land will be available for agriculture, for production, for small scale living. Government-owned land will be managed by or given to non-profit land trusts in public private partnerships.

Lands will be closed off to public use. Rural areas closed. Suburban areas closed. Forest areas closed. Rural roads closed. Logging roads closed. Camping areas closed. State park areas closed.

Restrictions on travel. Personal identification required at all times. Health records. School records. Communication records. Email, Facebook, Global positioning mapping, Virtual Reality---all serve to narrow your world.

Community oriented policing, Fusion Centers, expanded domestic surveillance powers for the FBI, redefining torture, continuous war for peace, eternal war on terror, regular renewal of the USA Patriot Act.

Picking winners and losers is the official blood sport of the Agenda for the 21st century.

Regionalization of government will take the planning decisions away from local government and out of your control; the little you still have. Rural councils, regional boards, neighborhood associations, condominium boards, residents’ associations---all speak for you without your ability to stop them. They all want the same thing. Control, total information, and social engineering. Think you’ll be able to stop Smart Meters when you live in a 200 unit building owned by your local low income (government subsidized) housing developer?

More information is being indexed and categorized and retained about you than ever before in the history of the world. It is being used to sell, manage, monitor, control, and restrict you. Your government, through your elected officials, unelected boards and commissions, local neighborhood associations and groups is balancing your individual rights with the ‘rights of the community’, and you are losing. Keeping you quiet, sedated, passive, compliant, consuming, exhausted, distracted, frightened, ignorant, and confused is the order of the day. The New World Globalist Order.

The Neo-Feudalism of UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development is reviving serfdom as the condition of the future. If you let it.
