Lesson 7: Regional Governments Will Destroy Our Local Representative Gov’t

Speaker's GavelThis is the seventh lesson in a series of ten lessons on Agenda 21, commonly known as Sustainable Development. Today we will learn …

How Regional Governments Will Destroy Our Local Representative Government and Hastens a One World Order

It is impossible to create a One World Order unless borders are completely eliminated. Take the European Union as an example. All the nations of the European Union share the same currency, have a free flow of people across their borders, have a central tax system with the means to enforce collections, and a common court system. That said, are they really sovereign anymore? Do their borders serve any function anymore? After all, there is a reason they are called the European Union. Continue reading

What you need to know about Trade Agreements, Regionalism and BREXIT,

Trade Agreements (can lead to regionalism)

As I am sure you know the Trump Administration is all about boosting our economy. One of the Trump Administration’s favorite tools for boosting the economy is through the use of trade agreements. The effort to open up China to more American products is currently being batted back and forth. Then there is the USMCA; a trade agreement between the United States, Canada, and Mexico, which will likely be voted on early in 2020.

These trade deals have tremendous ability to do good or to do harm. So what makes a trade agreement good-besides the obvious goal of creating improved economic activity for the participating countries? The answer is determined by how many and how deep are the strings/legal entanglements, which tie the member countries together.

You see, if there are too many strings, especially if the strings revolve around very complicated and likely contentious issues, there is a great likelihood those strings will at some point chafe one or more of the involved nations. If that occurs, who decides how the issue is handled? Do the individual member states decide or is there a higher court? If, there is a higher court, it will likely supersede the member states’ courts or governing bodies. If this is the case, national sovereignty and control has been eliminated and replaced by regionalism.

BREXIT (an effort to escape regionalism)

The European Union is a perfect example of a very bad trade deal. You only have had to watch the flood of immigrants from the Middle East overwhelm the social programs of the EU countries, undermine their native cultures, and bring a heightened level of violence to know this union of countries was in trouble on that one issue alone.

That said it should not have been a surprise when several years ago Great Britain’s voted to exit the European Union only to be prevented from doing so by an inability of the EU and Great Britain to agree on how to get untangled from each other.  This is why it is such a pleasure to include in this newsletter the victory speech given by Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party since July 2019, who just won control of the British Parliament on the platform of getting BREXIT done. Please, when you read Boris Johnson’s speech, notice within the speech the following statement.

“Leaving the European Union as one United Kingdom, taking back control of our laws, borders, money, our trade, immigration system, delivering on the democratic mandate of the people.

This statement makes it crystal clean, when a country chooses regionalism over national sovereignty, the country and more importantly its citizens sacrifice their freedom to choose their destiny. To read the entire speech, click on this link.

You Don’t know What You’ve got ’til it’s Gone (property rights and local government) Video

Recently the author of this newsletter gave a speech in front of the Ohio Liberty Coalition, the umbrella organization for the various conservative grassroots organizations in Ohio. This video is an overview of many of the lessons on this site. Three other speakers, each with their own expertise, were included within the 55 minute time frame.

Below is a chart which lists the various topics that are covered within the speech, which Lessons of this website are being highlighted, the name of the speaker for that section, and the approximate minute-mark when each section begins and ends.

The entire 55 minute video is well worth watching either as an individual, or as a presentation for a larger group.

Obama’s Plans for Ohio

This is a extremely well written article which demonstrates how regional governments will attempt to redistribute the wealth from the suburbs to the inner cities. This article, written by Stanley Kurtz, is adapted from his new book, Spreading the Wealth: How Obama is Robbing the Suburbs to Pay for the Cities. link

Regionalism:Sneaking America Into World Governance

This is an excellently written article that explains how the federal government created regionalism with the intent of using it to replace local control and as an aid in taking our private property rights. When local government meets their short term needs by accepting grants from their regional governement, local government is cooperating in the very process that will make local control obsolete.

Regionalism-The Blueprint for Your Serfdom

This an excellent article by long time opponent of Agenda 21, Michael Shaw. He will explain how regionalism is a key strategy in implementing Agenda 21 in our communities and a threat to our representative government: link

Map of Regional Governments in Ohio

Regional Governments in Ohio

The Ohio Association of Regional Councils comprises 23 agencies serving more than 1,500 municipalities, villages, townships and counties and representing 10,500,000 residents of those communities around the state.

The regional governments in Ohio collectively have the ability over time to break down America’s Constitutionally formulated government structure.
