Excellent additional information. Thanks.
This activity is going on at an ever increasing rate. Here in the Peoria Illinois area there are many projects underway. All have lofty sounding but vague titles, e.g. "Peoria Vision 2020", or "Illinois River Project 2020" and the like. No detailed imformation is available. Out of the blue a short news report will appear stating that the "Peoria Vision 2020" commision met to engage in regional planning (generally with "sustainable development as the goal) which will affect every taxpayer and property owner in the county.
Through persistent questioning you will be told the commision is comprised of government officials (federal, state, county and city), NGO's, businessmen, and private citizens. All are unelected and the commision will set policy which carries the force of law.
Investigation reveals that the initial meetings which determined the membership were allegedly open to the public. However, they were not well advertised, and occured during the work week during normal working hours. i.e. the only businessmen and private citizens who attended were invited, or had nothing better to do.
These "public private partnerships" are a symbiotic relationship between radical environmentalist NGO's and the state. They provide a vehicle for the radical left to implement it's environmental agenda under the color of law. And it provides the statists and collectivists in all levels of government more control over people.
All at the expense of individual liberty.
