GrokTV Event: Brookfield Planning Board – presentation on “Sustainable Communities Initiative” – Part 2

September 26, 2018June 28, 2012 Skip

Ken Eyring continues and finishes his presentation of some of the paperwork that just never seems to stop once a local community signs onto the “Granite State Future Plan” (the NH adaptation of the Federal program called “Sustainable Communities Initiative” operated by a consortium of the Federal EPA, the Federal Dept. of Transportation, and the Federal Housing and Urban Development).

Sidenote: viewed from one angle, that last department’s name is indicative of the goal – to fundamentally transform how Americans will be allowed to live by creating “urban development” villages with high density housing and just public transit: not just bringing the city to rural areas but making rural communities into “micro-cities” where everyone is forced to live together instead of the types of town NH has historically had).

Some main points, overall:

The endpoint has already been established
Local control will be a thing of the past
Why is taxpayer money being used against taxpayers best interest?
Those presenting “the plan” are not being honest – they are not upfront about what towns are about to get themselves into and not honest about the techniques being used to do so.

GrokTV Event: Brookfield Planning Board – presentation on “Sustainable Communities Initiative” – Part 1

September 26, 2018June 27, 2012 Skip

Monday night, the Brookfield, NH Planning Board heard a presentation by Ken Eyring and Eileen Mishimo on their research concerning the Federal Government pushing their Sustainable Communities Initiative (called Granite State Future Plan here in NH, a “massive entitlement / welfare program”). Those that are pushing this agenda are doing so by making it seem innocuous in the beginning but based on the hundreds of hours of research that Ken and Eileen have done on primary documents, it results in a virtual takeover of local communities by land use and zoning changes and collected demographic studies that are then used in lawsuits when Federal “standards” are broached by local communities (i.e., how local towns give up their sovereignty via “Federal money with invisible strings attached” and “strumg up” by their own efforts to comply with ensnaring federal regulations and mandates).

Ken Eyring from the Southern NH 9.12 Project presented first in his slow, quiet, methodical manner (hey, he’s a software engineer – what else would you expect!). Here are the first two segments:

GrokTV Event: Part 3 – Mary and Rick Hebbard on “Scenic Corridor (a subset of the Sustainable Communities Initiative / Granite State Future Plan) Impact on Dover, NH”

September 26, 2018June 16, 2012 Skip

At the same meeting that Ken Eyering and Eileen Mashimo spoke about the loss of local control that happens when NH local town fathers sign onto the Sustainable Communities Initiative / Granite State Future Plan being pushed by the Federal entities of the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development), Mary and Rick Hebbard spoke about a subset of the “Feds helping locally” with a small part of this Federalizing local town with a program called Scenic Corridor.

Whew – a long sentence, but this is not a small topic either. Mary and Rick outlined that while the Feds “innocently” present the program as “help, along with money”, the parts that aren’t publicly talked about lock local communities into organizing and running their town, by hijacking zoning restrictions and loss of the control of private property owners over their property if they are ruled “non-compliant”:

Again, listen to the things that they bring up that AREN’T immediately discussed by the point folks and that ONLY become known when concerned and curious citizens start to dig into what the “fine details” are.

Ask yourself – if programs like this are just so darn wicked good, why isn’t the ENTIRE story and long term ramifications being brought to the fore right from the “get-go”? Why is it that these Federalies have had to hire a PR firm to “persuade” the local (and they would add “yokels”) that this is such a good deal?

That should alert any NH citizens that some bamboozling might be going on here – for if things were straight forward, open, and transparent, WHY the need for a PR firm?

GrokTV Event: Is the EPA / DoT / HUD “Sustainable Communities Initiative” a stealth way to Federalize local communities?

September 26, 2018June 15, 2012 Skip

After all, that single piece of “non-binding” paper of extremely nice sounding verbiage is that quintessential “something for nothing” from a Government that is “here to help you”.

Problem is, after now being a political blogger and a (former) Budget Committee member, I have a very jaded eye when ANY level of Government says “we can help!” as the unstated words are always “but with strings attached”. Or with this “Sustainable Communities Initiative” that is being pushed onto local NH communities (and nationwide as well), those behind this Progressive Enviro’s wet dream, they are actually denying the depth of the “strings attached” (heh – more like string strung together like a net).

Now, after reading that above paragraph, some of you might be thinking “Yo, Skip, that tinfoil hat is reflecting too much sun into your eyes”. In this case, however, I wish I was going off a bit half-cocked; I’ve heard of Agenda 21 and other similar stuff, but when Ken Eyring and Eileen of the Southern NH 912 Project were done with their presentation at the Rye Republican meeting, visions of snippets of stuff I’ve been reading for years all started to settle into place. No longer random stuff – this is an attempt to start transforming how Americans live and work. We all know the transformations of our energy industry that the EPA is now doing (regulating coal out of existence, demanding more of other sources), Secretary of Transportation Ray Lahood has made no secret that his Federal Department programs are meant to decrease our use of mobility and instead, create “walkable” communities. Sounds nice, but make no mistake – this is not to just make nice neighborhoods – it is policy to get us out of and get rid of cars. Remember: while Freedom can be measured by the choices we can make, they are all about the choices they will allow us. And one they wish to deny us is mobility – “walkable” and public transportation will be the choices (I have another post from last weekend’s foray at NetRoots Nation coming soon exactly on this point).

But – I am getting ahead of myself. Here is Ken and his presentation on this initiative known as the Granite State Future Plan – Part 1 of 3:
