GrokTV: Rochester City Council Public input on “Sustainable Communities Initiative”- Tom Flaherty

September 26, 2018August 23, 2012 Skip

Another of the folks that spoke out against the Federal Govt’s move to further do social engineering via the Sustainable Communities Initiative / Granite State Future Plan was Tom Flaherty. He stressed that the key entity is HUD – it gets the final say via operating through the 9 Regional Planning Commissions under contract. One statement from them:

“Given that our State’s population can fit within the boundaries of many of the nation’s cities, we are presented with the unique opportunity to create a truly integrated approach to planning not just in one city or region but across the State as a whole.”

Who the hell do they think they are – to view citizens as mere lab rats? So, it is the unelected and unaccountable Planners that get to determine how our State is going to look like? How many citizens understand this? And the chutzpah – it seems that Planners are thinking “look at what we can do!” without never thinking “er, maybe Citizens are happy in what they are doing now?” I guess not – Utopians never do…

Following the Trail from Sustainability…to Tyranny (Part 2)

Sustainability Ferris Wheel

This is part-2 of a series that breaks down the “sustainability” movement, and explains how some in NH are working to constrain individual liberties with it. Read part-1 here.

The consummate community organizer, President Obama, knows the value of urban voters. He knows that urban living, with its clustered, infrastructure-heavy, and herd-like nature, depends on government more than suburban life, and far more than self-sufficient, independent rural living. He knows that more urban (or urban-like) voters mean utter dominance of the Progressive political class, at all levels.

He also knows that people have flocked away from cities, especially since the 1970’s, forming concentric suburban rings, referred to as “sprawl” (a word you will hear used quite a bit), which provide resistance to his urban, democratic-socialist ideals.

“The suburbs will define the outcome of the 2012 Presidential election”

Continuing to use the environmental movement as cover, and using the Presidency for credibility and funding, Barack Obama and his fellow community organizers are advancing the simmering ideology of “sustainability” by attacking the suburbs.

When the Left starts “Memory Holing” pictures and stories, you’re on the Right track!

The ‘Grok is doing its part on exposing what has been run on a semi-stealth process here in NH – the Federal Government’s implementation of President Obama’s promise made just before his inauguration: “We are five days from fundamentally transforming the United States”.

As Tom’s post / series thus far has been pointing out (Part 1, Part 2), there appears to be an effort by HUD / EPA / DOT to subvert local control and local zoning for environmental and “sustainable” reasons only. But the real story is not just subverting local control with Federal control of the Environment.
