Some government regulations that are made with good intentions still lead to bad results. The Endangered Species Act is a good example of such a law. In this short video, economics professor Don Boudreaux examines the Endangered Species Act, and uses it to explain how policymakers’ good intentions sometimes go awry. While the law intends to preserve threatened animals, it actually has the effect of giving landowners strong reasons to kill any endangered species they find on their property. This phenomenon is known as “shoot, shovel, and shut up.” Boudreaux implores us not to judge a policy by its intentions, but by its results. We can’t assume a policy will be good just because the intentions of the policymakers are good. To learn more, click on this link

Citizens in California’s Bay Area Fight to Stop Pack and Stack Building
We in the United States realize that many of our laws are affected by the crazy legal precedents established in California. This is certainly the case with all things environmental. Californians are infamous for going overboard to protect the environment. That makes them especially easy targets for a scam like sustainable development. That is why it comes as no surprise that California, especially around the San Francisco Bay Area, is currently the poster child for pack and stack building where living in multi-family housing, walking, bike-riding, or taking public transit to work are being forced on the citizens. In this August 6, 2013 article the citizens tell how their efforts to stop these restrictive measures have fallen on deaf ears, and that they, with the help of the Pacific Legal Fund plan to fight back. Please click the link to learn more about what will be your future if sustainable development is not stopped. link

March 09 EPA Strategy-EPA Internal Memo on Getting America to Accept Climate Change
This five year old EPA internal memo makes it clear the EPA in 2009 knew the public was either unconvinced of the “reality” of Global Warming or unconcerned about its impact. Using this as the starting point in this article, the EPA then set out to explain their strategies to get the minds of the American people right.
Acknowledging that the use of the Polar Bear and melting ice sheets was no longer an effective emotional ploy, the EPA outlined a number of strategies to spread the message of global warming. These include “using the trades (i.e. unions) and environmental reporters” to spread the message, increase the amount of media exposure by reaching out to media members that serve the minority communities, and upping the level of environmental terror foisted on the citizen by linking environmental justice issues to the health of the citizen and their children. If only the left, instead of regulating us to death, strategized so aggressively in order to maintain our freedoms. To read more click on this link.

Networks Embrace ‘Catastrophic’ Warnings of Latest IPCC Report
What do you get when the media and a portion of the scientific community goes totally in the tank for President Obama and the Progressives in D.C. (formerly known as the Democratic Party)? Why a scam called Global Warming/Climate Change, of course. A scam that will provide the reason to collect more money for the left in the form of a carbon tax, as well as create mountains of regulations forcing “the transformation of society”. Who cares if the data doesn’t forward the narrative.
The October 2, 2013 article tells how, after the UN’s climate panel (IPCC) released its latest warning about “catastrophic” climate change on Sept. 27, all three broadcast networks that night fell over each other to sound the alarm of the danger of Global Warming. CBS even aired a claim about temperatures rising “more than 200 degrees.” link

Smart Growth Fraud
This article has been written by Dr. Michael Coffman. The same Dr. Coffman who showed the Biodiversity/Wildlands Project map to the Senate in 1994, and by so doing, stopped the ratification of the Biodiversity Treaty. This article explains why moving the American citizen, or any other country’s citizens, into pack-n-stack living conditions in the human settlements is not a good thing either for the citizen or the environment. Hence the name Smart Growth Fraud. link

Strategies that Will Help You Stop Agenda 21 from Destroying our Representative Republic
We can hope that the politicians, with no push from the people, will on their own find out, learn about, and address Sustainable Development through appropriate legislation.

Climategate II: leaked emails show struggle to deal with warming lull
Leaked documents obtained by The Associated Press show there are deep concerns among governments around the globe over how to address the issue ahead of next week’s meeting of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. There seems to be a problem with the data (would say the liberal) or maybe there is a problem with the theory (would say the conservative).
The warming of the globe is slowing even though man continues to burn fossil fuels and cut down forests. To read more about how those in the tank for global warming will try to twist the data to suit their need to ultimately (in 2015) adopt a global climate treaty click on this link.
