That's how these infernal pigs destroy the country, viz. seize control of the major metropolitan district, then force their crap on the rest of the state.
This one by Tom DeWeese, explains the “RegionSmart Development District,” and how it was stopped. The perpetrators didn’t really stop - they just changed their tactics, and decided to go for a softer landing.
And a different article by Kathleen Marquardt:
Blue Ovals and Infrastructure Boondoggles Are Targeting Tennessee
What globalists do is a stealth attack on more than one front. What they can’t get directly, they will get indirectly, under the guise of “progress.”
An additional flank in the attack against Tennessee and other southern states is the Thrive Regional Partnership.
Their “Impact Areas” are: Community Prosperity, National Treasures, and Transportation and Infrastructure. The first two are very soft and feely - who wouldn’t want to help communities prosper and take care of our natural resources? But the third impact area is hard as nails - and it is the real reason for the existence of the organization.
Their purpose is to affect legislation regarding transportation and infrastructure - by guiding money and resources - and to achieve exactly what the “RegionSmart Development District” was originally intended to do. It will take longer, but they may prevail.
This is how globalist interests take over - aided and abetted by federal money. They create innocent-sounding rhetoric that aims to undermine and neutralize local control.
The Thrive Regional Partnership’s modus operandi is to convince local and state businesses, corporations and other organizations to donate time and money - as "investors" - to help them achieve their objectives, which sound warm and fuzzy, but in reality they’re about realizing the questionable globalist goals of “livability” and “sustainability.” This can involve the taking of private property via eminent domain, and all the other green goodies that are being shoved down our throats on a daily basis.
