One of the clearest articles I've read about critical issues of our time involving climate, law, justice, politics. Author gives a good background of start and development of planning - from late 1980s through to present time. The information, I think, helps us understand more of what is going on locally, nationally, globally.

quotes from article: "...the vast majority, out of deep concern for the planet, are effectively neutralized by the jargon, buzz words and slogans with purposely obscure definitions, all of which are dreamt up by the best PR firms money can buy."
"big “S” Sustainable Development will affect the farmer: If you own livestock and they can drink from a creek, then they want you to permanently fence off your own land to prevent any upset of potential fish habitat. . . Agenda 21 focuses on the goal of eliminating meat consumption and using pastures to grow wheat, corn and soy for human consumption. To get us to comply, we’re told in endless propaganda campaigns that meat is dangerous and the vegan lifestyle is the only healthy alternative."
"agriculture and private property are listed as “unsustainable.” All the private property and water rights infringements ....come in a wide variety of names to throw people off, such as Comprehensive Planning, Growth Management, Smart Growth, and so forth."
"Smart Growth and Smart Cities .... part of the “sustainability” plan .... fail to look at “new” energy or even non-industrial hemp as a soil-rebuilding, environment-friendly way to provide a sizable portion of the nation’s energy needs; which fail to understand the crucial importance of restoring carbon-rich humus to the soil via holistic livestock management and other forms of regenerative agriculture; which somehow rely on the big banks and a flotilla of “investors,” rather than doing the obvious by reforming the nation’s monetary system; and which, as Koire and others correctly assert, can only lead to totalitarianism in the end."
"Regional Planning Association is America 2050 whose focus is on planning for the emergence of mega-regions, or high density urban areas, along with infrastructure development......"
"A little 40 page book titled Redevelopment: The Unknown Government (https://sanlorenzoexpress.com/norby1.htm) put out by the California Municipal Officials for Redevelopment Reform lays out the ugly truth with charts, cartoons and hard data ..."
"The problem that almost no one sees is that UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development is the action plan to inventory and control all land, all water, all minerals, all plants, all animals, all construction, all means of production, all information, all energy, and all human beings in the world."
