WEF intend to control everything through transnational governance.

Fight the elitists now, or eat bugs the rest of your life.

Not gonna eat bugs.

Let them keep pushing.

The pushback when it comes will be a swift and violent one.

Columbia, MD was a planned ‘city’ developed by James Rouse which began in the late 60’s-‘70’s. Within the developing city/town each community had a village center with a grocery store, liquor store, hair cutter/barber, pharmacy, restaurant, park, trails etc. the homes surrounding the area were a combo of single family, townhomes, and apartments as a means to integrate all income levels. There was/is a mall, movie theaters, several pools, tennis courts, man made lakes/ponds. No store signs could be elevated, leading to many lost visitors. Street names came from children's books. It was convenient, I suppose.

The purpose was to blur socioeconomic lines and for convenience. There were/are strict property codes. Planting a tree needs permission. After Rouse passed, whoever took over had visions of turning it into more of a city center.

While I'd never live IN Columbia itself, they had an interesting concept and it was the first of its kind.

I grew up just outside of it where we had the freedom to plant whatever trees we wanted, not need permission to have a massive garden, etc.

(He also developed a marketplace in Boston. Other examples of Rouse Company “festival marketplace” developments include South Street Seaport in New York City, The Gallery at Market East, in Philadelphia, Harborplace in Baltimore, St. Louis Union Station in St. Louis, Downtown Portland's Pioneer Place, and the Riverwalk Marketplace of New Orleans. The early festival marketplaces like Faneuil Hall and Harborplace led TIME magazine to dub Rouse “the man who made cities fun again.”)

That's my blab for the day.
