White House Council Takes Aim on Rural America (While Weiner was all the news)
Right Side News ^ | July 3, 2011 | Henry Lamb

Where, exactly, does the U.S. Constitution authorize the federal government to create "sustainable communities" in order to:

"... expand access to the capital necessary for economic growth, promote innovation, improve access to health care and education, and expand outdoor recreational activities on public lands."

Clearly, the Constitution provides no such authority, and the Tenth Amendment prohibits the federal government from engaging in activity not explicitly enumerated and authorized in the Constitution. This fact meant nothing to Bill Clinton, who created the President's Council on Sustainable Development by executive order. Nor does this fact have meaning to Barack Hussein Obama. On June 9, 2011, by Executive Order 13575, Obama created the White House Rural Council.

This new council consists of 25 Cabinet Secretaries — or their designee — and is chaired by the Secretary of the Department of Agriculture. The mission of the council is to:

"...work across executive departments, agencies, and offices to coordinate development of policy recommendations to promote economic prosperity and quality of life in rural America, and shall coordinate my Administration's engagement with rural communities."

Anyone who has ever had cow manure on his boots knows full well that until the federal government decided to get "engaged" with rural communities to improve the quality of life for the poor souls who live in fly-over county, farming and ranching fed the nation. Rural America provided the resources that fueled unprecedented prosperity. Not until the government showed up to help did rural families begin to suffer.

Obama's new "White House Rural Council" has the potential to be much worse than anything Franklin Roosevelt ever dreamed about. In 1992, the U.N. produced a 40-chapter, non-binding policy document called Agenda 21. This document sets forth recommendations to transform capitalism and a free Republic into an administrative unit of global governance. Bill Clinton's PCSD began imposing these policies on American towns and cities in the mid-1990s. Obama's new council is designed to continue and expand the implementation of these policies into the hinterland..................... CONTINUED

NRO: Will Perry Carry the Day? >>>In the Russell Senate Office Building Caucus Room, Fred McClure was watching the crowd. It was March 1978, and the American Agriculture Movement — a pressure group for government support of farm prices — was meeting with Texan congressmen.

A legislative aide to Sen. John Tower (R.), McClure was leaning on a door when a rancher from Paint Creek, Texas, named Rick Perry walked past. Newly retired from the Air Force, Perry held a degree in animal science from Texas A&M. His class ring gave him away.

Spotting the ring, McClure, a fellow Texas A&M grad, introduced himself, and the two hit it off. Thirteen years later McClure, a notary public, would swear Perry into office as Texas’s agriculture commissioner, his first statewide office.

[SNIP]

And as for Perry’s retail skills, Luce says they’re Grade A. “Rick campaigned in all 256 counties in the state,” he says. “He went to rural and urban areas; he did small and big events. Rick is a campaigner.”

Perry may be a latecomer to the Iowa race, but he is an old hand at face-to-face politics. This former Texas agriculture commissioner knows a thing or two about grass roots. <<<

*****************

Fresno Bee >>>>Potential candidate meets Valley GOP leaders — Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who is mulling the possibility of seeking the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, was in and out of a Fresno meeting Wednesday afternoon in one hour.

But that was long enough to leave several invited business, political and agricultural leaders impressed.

“He was real competent, clear,” said former Fresno Mayor Jim Patterson. “He spoke 40 minutes extemporaneously, and he hit all the hot-button issues.”

Wednesday’s event – which was hosted by local businessman Richard Spencer and former Assembly Member Mike Villines – was held at Spencer’s office at Harris Construction.

It was closed to the media, and Perry’s only public display was to roll down his window and wave to the television cameras as he left the event.......

What Andreas Borgeas, Brand’s fellow Fresno City Council member, liked best was that Perry took the time to visit Fresno this early in the campaign. No other Republican candidate has bothered to do that, he said.<<<

"sustainable communities"

We used to call those communes in the sixties!

One of the first things done in Stalin's era was to take over the farming communities.

Does this sound familiar:

This meant that small farms would be gathered together to form one large massive one. These bigger farms would be called collectives. As they were large, there was every reason to use machinery on them. The more food that could be grown the better as the cities and factories could suitably be fed. Collectivisation of Agriculture in Russia

So in Russia it was the 5 Year Plan, here in America it is the Sustainable Development Plan.

Even Homeland Security? Is there no facet of our lives it doesn’t want to control?

“President Barack Obama plans to create a special advisory council to recommend ways to boost the economic outlook and quality of life for the estimated 60 million people who live in rural areas of the U.S.”

The recommendation of this panel will be that all us citizens in rural areas be relocated to “sustainable communities”......you just watch.

Looking at the map and seeing large areas of the Great Plains marked for “little or no human use” I am wondering if this plan is a take off on the proposal by a couple of Princeton professors to turn large parts of the Dakotas and Nebraska and into a “buffalo commons” with no humans and a restored prairie populated by buffalo. I recall both Hitler and Stalin had similar “population relocation” programs.

The recent deliberate flooding of certain rural areas contributed to the goals of Agenda 21.
