The group of countries that oversees the U. N.’s lead agency on cities have given it a preliminary green light to begin coordinating implementation of a global 20-year urbanization strategy — although that approval won’t go into effect until a highly anticipated assessment process concludes later this year.
Meeting last week at the Nairobi headquarters of UN-Habitat, the national governments that serve on the agency’s Governing Council agreed on a two-year, USD 500 million budget for the global body, as well as a work plan to guide its urban efforts through 2019.
The Governing Council, which functions as a board, also outlined a new monitoring framework for the 20-year strategy, called the New Urban Agenda. In adopting multiple resolutions, national governments laid groundwork that will enable UN-Habitat to advise countries and cities on how to plan, finance and regulate urban development, as well as track global progress toward the New Urban Agenda.
“This Governing Council has been a step forward in the implementation of the New Urban Agenda,” said UN-Habitat Executive Director Joan Clos, who was the agreement’s chief architect.
Calling the meeting, which drew 900 people to the Kenyan capital, “the beginning of a new period for UN-Habitat as a more efficient, effective and accountable organization”, E. U.diplomat Sebastian Gil said the agency will soon be “fit for its role in the implementation of the New Urban Agenda”.

On March 27, 2015 Dr. Duke Pesta spoke on the dangers of Common Core. No doubt one of the most outspoken critic of the Common Core State Standards, Dr. Pesta exposes the origins and dangers of the Common Core scheme. Through his and other's efforts, people are beginning to fight back on behalf of their children. From this video, you will learn why our local school districts are so secretive, all about the government's overreach, its concealment and outright lies that drive Common Core.
Throughout his presentation, Dr. Pesta discusses the current state of the fight, identifies new threats -- including the coming Science and History standards -- and updates us on many state's efforts to remove Common Core. With over 350 talks in 40 states behind him, he offers his perspective on the best ways to push back against this ploy to manipulate the heart and minds of our children.
Speaker Bio: Dr. Duke Pesta
Freedom Project Education Academic Director
Dr. Duke Pesta received his M.A. in Renaissance Literature from John Carroll University and his Ph.D. in Shakespeare and Renaissance Literature from Purdue University. He has taught at major research institutions and small liberal arts colleges and currently is a professor of English at the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh and the Academic Director of Freedom Project Education.
This event was held at the Hosanna Christian Fellowship church in Bellflower, CA. and was sponsored by: Faithful Christian Servants, R.E.M. and Redland Tea Party Patriots.

Richard Wolff is an economist who has studied class issues for more than 40 years. In this animation and audio presentation, Wolff explains what class is all about and applies that understanding to the foreclosure crisis of 2007--2011. He argues that class concerns the "way our society splits up the output [and] leaves those who get the profits in the position of deciding and figuring out what to do with them... We all live with the results of what a really tiny minority in our society decides to do with the profits everybody produces." As you watch and listen, consider what we know from research about disease and illness patterns among groups with lower income, more stress, and less control of their lives. Consider how investment decisions in neighborhoods, over transportation, school facilities, parks, location of grocery stores, quality of affordable housing, etc. influenced by powerful interests, affect the quality of life for large segments of the population.
This video was produced by the National Association of County and City Public Health Officals (NACCHO) as a part of thier Roots of Health Inequality Project. The project is a web-based course for the public health workforce and "How Class Works" is one section of the course.

SOUNDS LIKE SCIENCE FICTION...OR SOME CONSPIRACY THEORY...BUT IT ISN'T.
Have you wondered where these terms 'sustainability' and 'smart growth' and 'high density urban mixed use development' came from?
Doesn't it seem like about 10 years ago you'd never heard of them and now everything seems to include these concepts? Is that just a coincidence? That every town and county and state and nation in the world would be changing their land use/planning codes and government policies to align themselves with...what?

A clean environment is important to us all. We have an obligation to maintain our resources and sustain our environment for future generations. Sustaining our environment has led us down the road to environmentalism. Then a strange thing happened. Environmentalism came to a fork in the road. While the rhetoric took one route, the agenda took another. Explore this topic and discover how Agenda 21 will affect you.

Wednesday, October 28, 2009 Dr. Michio Kaku is a theoretical physicist and the Henry Semat Professor at the City College of New York and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, where he has taught for more than 30 years. He is a graduate of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and earned his doctorate from the University of California at Berkeley.
Dr. Kaku is one of the founders of string field theory, a field of research within string theory. String theory seeks to provide a unified description for all matter and the fundamental forces of the universe.
His book The Physics of the Impossible addresses how science fiction technology may become possible in the future. His other books include Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the Tenth Dimension , selected as one of the best science books of 1994 by both the New York Times and The Washington Post, and Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos , a finalist for the Samuel Johnson Prize.
Agenda 2030 will have far-reaching effects for everyone in the world. A truly global initiative, Agenda 2030's real purpose is to bring every nation under the socio-communist rule of a totalitarian One World Government.
Common Core Standards are not only in schools, but are now standard in the military, FBI, CIA, and most other government agencies.

They also admit the failure of their own education system. (Very Important):

More than half of the growing human population now lives in cities, depending on the need for increasing food production from a fixed quantity of arable land, and the use of large quantities of our rapidly dwindling fossil fuel reserves. As a result, more than half the planets resources and land area are under the direct management of humans. While the scientific basis for this looming food and ecological crisis is understood, how can the problem and solutions be cast in a way that a citizen can recognize the issues, and find satisfaction and hope in contributing individually, and collectively, to the solution?
A bridge between science and society is the media, and recent achievements in related environmental issues provide a roadmap for progress. Former Vice President Al Gore stepped well outside the policy arena to make a film that connected personally with viewers, and set off a wave of change in Americas perception of climate change. Can a similar change of awareness occur for our solid Earth, and for sustainability and healthy living, or is the change already underway?
In this panel discussion, we bring together scientists, film makers, economists, journalists, and visionaries at the forefront of a concern for the soil (the Earths skin), a portion of our planet impacted by how we eat, how we balance the need for both food and renewal energy, and finally by what portion of the planet we decide (or are able) to preserve unused for future generations. ________________________________
