I am blogging today from the beautiful Big Stone Gap area and the mountains are majestic and the fight for liberty here is awesome. There is a wonderful effort to honor the founding of country (and bluegrass) music in Southwest Virginia. The Crooked Road is a tourism initiative to help visitors to appreciate the efforts [...]

My fellow Blogger Sandy Sanders wrote a great article that really says it all about Gerry Baugh. Please read it here. There are a lot of activists in Virginia and Central Virginia has quite a concentration of them. My friends at Americans for Prosperity, the various local TEA Party organizations, Richmond, East Hanover and others. [...]

A few years ago, activists, who as it turned out were ahead of their time, tried to get on the ballot anti-Agenda 21 and ICLEI ordinances in Spokane, Washington. They were basically laughed out of town and were denied the ballot! Well, as Frank Sinatra once sang: Guess who’s laughing now! I got an email [...]

I am always excited when activists stand up and I get more excited when they win! And my excitement grows if I helped a bit! All three happened in several towns in Massachusetts this week! Three at least said NO to an effort by the Greater Boston UN Club to get various local governments to [...]

I think we can take the word of the NYTimes this time: The Republican platform has condemned Agenda 21 and proposed UN taxes: “We strongly reject the U.N. Agenda 21 as erosive of American sovereignty, and we oppose any form of U.N. Global Tax,” the platform reads. This is a VICTORY for activists like YOU! [...]

Weekly Standard: A First Reaction to the Ryan Pick “One of the first political events I vaguely remember (I was eight years old) is listening on the radio to John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address. When I woke up this morning, this passage was echoing in my head. It needs a bit of updating—but I think it [...]

I found this to be useful about how Westchester County (NY) got out of ICLEI (Thanks again to Talk on the Sound)! Apparently the fairly new County Executive, Rob Astorino, was at a county GOP meeting recently and was asked about the ICLEI withdrawal. The County Executive was on Sean Hannity’s TV show last September [...]

Talk of the Sound wrote this article where they clarified that the Mayor of New Rochelle was not planning after all to attend the Agenda 21 Rio+20 conference. They had reported (certainly accurately) that Mayor Bramson was attending. Apparently he changed his mind: While it is our conclusion that a correction is not in order, [...]

I am pleased when people stand up against the liberty/sovereignty killing acts such as NDAA! A class action suit was brought in Manhattan Federal Court to strike down the NDAA as unconstitutional. Of course indefinite detention of US citizens is unconstitutional, Ex parte Milligan says that. (I know something about Ex parte Milligan – I [...]

Here’s the report from the Stop Agenda 21 in Texas site: Tommy Gonzalez, the Irving City Manager, and Mayor Beth Van Duyne have officially announced that Irving, Texas is no longer a member of ICLEI. Irving’s membership with ICLEI ended February 2012 and they decided not to renew their [...]

In New Rochelle, New York, in the shadows of the Big Apple, we have this brave activist, Robert Cox, who is going around to speak in his ICLEI-infltrated community about the threat to liberty and sovereignty.

The Daily Progress, Charlottesville’s newspaper, was reporting on the Rivanna supervisor’s race in Albemarle County. It should encourage and alarm all liberty and sovereignty activists to make sure the incumbent supervisor Kenneth C. Boyd is re-elected November 8. Boyd has a Democratic opponent, Cynthia Neff. Here are the candidates’ position on so-called global warming, Cool [...]

Thanks to Tricia Stall in Mathews County, we have a delicious tidbit of information. PlanVirginia is a private organization of civilian planners (members of planning boards, etc) that provides education and training for its members and it has an annual meeting once a year. It predates the UN or Agenda 21. It is not a [...]

In 1811-12, southeastern Missouri was the site for several serious earthquakes, centered near the town of New Madrid. Thankfully, nothing like that has happened in the ground since then but what happened in Dent County, Missouri, not far from the New Madrid epicenter, might be the Agenda 21 equivalent of the political earthquake that occurred [...]
