UN Goals Unveiled: Building Inclusive Communities Through Education
The United Nations will be holding a conference in Utah at the end of this month, with a variety of what they call "Thematic Sessions" to be held. These are meetings designed to promote the UN's goals, each one focused around a specific theme, but also intertwined with other UN goals, as you will see. There is also a strong focus on youth for this conference, and the reason for that will also become apparent. The first we will be addressing is entitled, "Building Inclusive Communities Through Education." Here is the official description, taken from their website: “"The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) call for ensuring equal access for all women and men to affordable and quality technical, vocational and tertiary education, including university. Rapid technological changes present opportunities and challenges, but the learning environment, the capacities of teachers and the quality of education have in many parts of the world not kept pace, and in others still need to catch up. New models in higher education are emerging as lawmakers and higher education professionals look for ways to address declining enrollment numbers, lack of diversity and skyrocketing tuition, as well as knowledge gaps in today’s rapidly evolving global workforce. Access for all to a quality education and learning opportunities – starting with children - will play a central role in increasing the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills, for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship to meet today’s global and local challenges."” The UN's language is always loaded with meaning and hidden context that is intended to go over the head of the casual listener or reader. One of the most basic underlying principles we see in language from the United Nations is the promotion of Socialism, which is present here in the very first sentence. Notice the keywords "equal access" and "all men and women." These are fun buzzwords right now that appeal to the desire to be "fair" and promote "equality." But how would this be possible without forcing those who "have" to pay for those who "have not"? Who gets to define those terms? How would it be enforced? As the UN has focused its goals on the entire world, only a world government could provide the necessary enforcement. How do we know that world collectivism is the goal of the UN? For starters, most of the countries in the UN have some form of Socialist government, which shows that this is the mindset they hold. They would not want for the world anything different than what they already provide for their own people. The UN also already has in place several schemes to redistribute the wealth of the world from so-called "wealthy" nations to those with less. The redistribution of wealth is a hallmark of Socialism, the goal being that all people are equal in poverty, with the government in control of the wealth and resources. Think Venezuela, China, North Korea, the Soviet Union, Cuba. Sound fun? In contrast, the equality of all mankind declared under the Constitution is that each one is born with a clean slate, able to make of his life what he will. Not an equality of things, but an equality of promise to be shaped by a person's choices. Are some nations more prosperous than others? Absolutely, and the current modus operandi is to try to make other nations feel guilty for their own successes, as if it were their fault somehow. Yet, those circumstances, in most cases, came about as a natural result of the choices of the people. No one holds responsibility for their choices but themselves. Of course, we can voluntarily provide assistance, as many do. There are doctors and dentists who provide free services. There are people inventing new ways to drill wells, grow crops more effectively, etc. Missionaries teaching English, and helping in myriad other ways. All of these people working of their own accord, providing helpful service by choice, with no threat of government violence required. A few of the UN's other overarching themes are also present here. We see the assertion that "declining enrollment numbers" at "higher education" institutions (ie, colleges) is somehow a threat that must be addressed. What are these people doing instead? Staying home and watching TV? Perhaps a few, but the rest are learning trades, writing books, getting degrees in Computer Science or programming, teaching dance, making neon signs, and a whole host of other things that can be done elsewhere. College is not the only option. We must also ask ourselves why people would be opting to avoid college. Could it be that there are so many other options that don't require one to start adult life tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt? Could it be that colleges have turned into horrendous indoctrination centers where students can get degrees in things like porn? Where Conservatism and religion are no longer welcome? Where free speech is proclaimed, and simultaneously denied? Could it be that the best students no longer are able to even get into many colleges due to ridiculous "diversity" policies that favor non-academic qualities, such as skin color or sexuality? On that note, you will notice that "lack of diversity" is thrown in there with all these other "atrocities," as though it is something of importance. This is done for several reasons. One is that the UN is anti-Christian. The deliberate promotion of diversity of sexuality, and the promotion of non-Christian religions, while at the same time declaring war on monogamy and Christianity, sends a clear signal. We must remember, however, that when all things are "true," nothing is true. And that is the point. Championing diversity also creates victims out of those in smaller groups, who clamor to government for "protection," and the government is all too happy to take away everyone's rights and freedoms in order to do so. This is at the core of the UN's "inclusive communities." Remember when you were free to choose who you associated with? Now, you'd better bake the cake, rent your house, and install a ramp of a certain length, size, color, and slope, or the government will step on your neck, steal your property, or imprison you, all in the name of diversity. There are UN goals to usurp your freedoms in the name of every so-called "marginalized" group that exists. The drive-by phrase "knowledge gaps in today’s rapidly evolving global workforce" suggests that there is a group of overseers looking to take your children and plug them into a prefabricated system, like so many cogs. Some places here in the United States, like California, have already embraced this system, and have implemented government-business partnerships that craft a child's education to meet the specific projected needs of their workforce. Is this what people send their children to school for? If they called each graduating class by its intended purpose, would they feel any different? "We'd like to congratulate the Boeing assembly line class of 2019!" This is the UN's goal for your children. The importance of public education in Socialist systems cannot be denied. It is even a plank of the Communist Manifesto. When the government chooses which kids learn, what they learn, and how they learn, what else is left? Can it be said that a free thought ever crossed a child's mind in such a system? This system not only tells kids how to think, it tells them what to think. "We've always been at war with Eastasia." Haven't we? Hardcore Socialists have always sought to remove all threats to the state, any who might challenge their authority, and this has historically pinpointed religion and the family as the foremost threats. The UN call for "a quality education and learning opportunities – starting with children" nicely frames their desire to remove children from their homes and put them into government schools where they can be indoctrinated. The push is to get kids out of the home as early as possible. This is already happening here in America, with preschools and even pre-preschools opening all over. The UN also has an ongoing agenda to set children up as adversaries against their parents and other adults, by telling them that it is unfair for adults to run things, for adults to get all the jobs, for only adults to vote. Why is this a priority for the UN? Remember when, during the 60's, the mantra of the Communists was "Don't trust anyone over 30"? Youth are ignorant and impressionable. Not ignorant as in stupid, but as in miseducated and inexperienced. They can be emotionally manipulated easily. They are, in actual Communist terminology, "useful idiots" who will work hard to bring about their own downfall, all the while thinking they are doing the world a service. A young man I know, just out of high school, actually posted on Facebook not long ago that "[he] would die for Agenda 21!" Mission accomplished. As you read the subject matter tags the UN was so good to include with this description, see if you can pair the phrases with their descriptions above: “"Join this session if you are interested in: the role of universities, communities and vocational institutes; continuing education; children in urban settings; access for marginalized students and communities; opportunities for youth; education in vulnerable settings; gender; technology for education."” We don't have the time or space to touch on everything in this short blurb, but we hope this was enough to get you thinking. Everything about the UN, from its agendas to its existence, is anti-American and unConstitutional! Instead of turning our children over to unaccountable globalists, why don't we teach them what is in the Constitution… and then go back to following it!
UN Goals Unveiled: Climate Change–Cities and Communities in Action
Today we will analyze the upcoming UN Conference's "Thematic Session," entitled "Climate Change–Cities and Communities in Action". While this topic can raise some "heated" debate, if you'll pardon the expression, it is apparent that this issue is more emotional than factual, like most UN-driven issues. Let's examine the official description of this session and then analyze its contents. “"As outlined in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and other reports elaborated over the years by the scientific community, as well as public and private sector entities, climate change with its associated risks is among the defining issues of our time, the impact of which is global in scope and unprecedented in scale and is already disrupting communities and livelihoods, especially of those living in poverty. However, there is a growing recognition that affordable, scalable solutions are currently available that will enable us all to leapfrog to more green, clean, resilient economies in the long run. Cities and communities, underpinned by strong advocacy from civil society are acting on reducing emissions and on development for resiliency, with innovative strategies for carbon neutrality and resilient infrastructure; transportation and energy systems decarbonisation, zero emissions buildings; innovative financing mechanisms and behaviour change among consumers, producers and policymakers. With the UN Secretary-General’s Climate Action Summit 2019 taking place in September 2019, this session will be an opportunity to boost ambition and accelerate action to implement the Paris Agreement, with a focus on local action and the role of youth."” We begin with the frightening tale of how "the impact of [climate change] is global in scope and unprecedented in scale and is already disrupting communities and livelihoods". Oh, the terror! Of course, since it is "global" in scale, the only solution is global governance. A historical fact that is not taught in government indoctrination centers (ie, public schools) is that the United Nations started out as the League of Nations, which presented itself as the solution to worldwide wars immediately after World War I, which it was responsible for creating. (Remember the Hegelian Dialectic? "Problem-Reaction-Solution" You cause the problem and then offer yourself as the solution.) They believed that if they caused a situation horrific enough, people would clamor to give up their freedom in order for the League of Nations to save them. After all, we can't have a "world war" anymore if there is a "world government," can we? When this plan failed, they started World War II and presented themselves again as the solution, now rebranded as the United Nations. While they haven't ever "officially" been declared the world's government, they do, in fact, act like it, and even the United States government bows to their authority. What's important to comprehend, however, is their primary methodology: scare tactics, whether real or imagined. For decades, they have tried one thing after another–overpopulation, a new ice age, imaginary holes in the sky, global warming, and now the ambiguous "climate change"–never actually able to get people whipped up into enough of a frenzy that they would finally give up their liberties. Until now. The opening statement also assumes the high position of carrying the authority of the IPCC and other experts and, of course, years worth of reports. You can just see them piling up all over the offices at the UN. No wonder they're in such a hurry! This, ladies and gentlemen, is a logical fallacy known as "appeal to authority." What makes this sort of argument particularly egregious is that it is most effective when used against the young, precisely where the "climate change" doctrine is preached. Those of us who hold our doubts about so-called "human-induced climate change" are old enough to think critically about the matter, and expect the facts to bear out. Children, on the other hand, are taught from birth that they should respect authority figures and, particularly in public school, never to question the "experts." (If you don't already understand that this is by design, I encourage you to stop reading this article and immediately download a free copy of "The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America" by Charlot Iserbyt!) If you get nonsense into their heads early enough, they will never question it. Especially if you can get immoral "experts" to lie, fudge numbers, and otherwise manipulate data for political purposes. Of course, it is also necessary to demonize and vilify those who disagree, even if they are NASA scientists and other actual climate scientists, so you can pretend that there is an "overwhelming consensus." See also here and here. For a former climate scientist's discussion on the effect of "climate catastrophe" on children, I recommend "Child prophets and proselytizers of climate catastrophe" by Judith Curry. Also note that there is never substantive media coverage of those scientists who oppose the agenda, even when they are among the IPCC itself: “"But two members of the committee, Peter Lilley (Conservative) and Graham Stringer (Labour), disagreed with the other nine. They accused their fellow MPs of not holding the IPCC critically to account. “As scientists by training, we do not dispute the science of the greenhouse effect – nor did any of our witnesses,” they said in a statement. “However, there remain great uncertainties about how much warming a given increase in greenhouse gases will cause, how much damage any temperature increase will cause and the best balance between adaptation to versus prevention of global warming.” The two MPs say that the underlying technical report of the IPCC acknowledges many uncertainties, but these have been omitted from the critical Summary for Policymakers, presented to politicians." – Politicizing the IPCC report, by Judith Curry.” Next in the description you will notice that we must "leapfrog to more green, clean, resilient economies." If you remember the game of leapfrog, you will recall that each player must jump over the one in front of them. That is the UN's demand, as well. There is never a request for gradual change; it is always something that must be forced on everyone immediately. This is followed by a call for "carbon neutrality," a ridiculous phrase if there ever was one. I point you to the essay, "Carbon is not the enemy", by the journal Nature, as well as Dr. Judith Curry's discussion of this and other essays on the topic. We could go into much more discussion of this brief description, but the facts should be clear already: "climate change" is unscientific nonsense that is being force-fed to our children in order to be used by the United Nations as an excuse to take control of every facet of our lives. See if you can identify the real agendas behind the buzzwords for this "thematic session": “"Join us for this Thematic Session if you care for matters such as: Low carbon pathways and per capita footprint; Transport and mobility transformation, Renewable energy, Fiscal incentives for green tech, Coastal communities, Climate-smart food production, Land use, land-change and forestry"” Among the list of speakers for this session are Jackie Biskupski, the lesbian Mayor of Salt Lake City, Selina Neirok Leem, a Youth Delegate from The Republic of the Marshall Islands, and Olumide Idowu, Co-Founder of a non-profit known as Climate Wednesday. We encourage you to visit the Climate Wednesday website to see if you can identify the calls for global government intervention. We leave you with this thought, for your consideration: “"Satan will take control of the world by claiming ownership of her resources." –Professor Hugh Nibley” And the United Nations will claim ownership by virtue of "saving the planet."
UN Goals Unveiled: Peaceful Societies–Recovering from Conflict and Nurturing Peace
Do people notice hypocrisy any more? When, for instance, millionaire Bernie Sanders trots around the world in his private jet pimping Socialism and chastising the rest of us for causing climate change… does anyone bat an eye? Ditto for Al Gore and many others. What's missing is critical thinking, a skill no longer taught in government indoctrination centers. What they do teach under that name is a form of "social justice" thinking and "values clarification" that is nothing more than humanistic brainwashing. In today's article we will learn about peace, love, and respect from the UN. What could go wrong? “"Peace is necessary for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and is a specific goal in itself. This session will focus on the interface between peace, justice and strong institutions (SDG 16) and Safe, Resilient, Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11).The last decade has been marked by increasing skepticism regarding the viability and effectiveness of multilateral approaches to peacebuilding. The Peaceful Societies Thematic Session will discuss how civil society organizations are integrating objective measures to achieve an inclusive and sustainable culture of peaceful coexistence in their local activities while respecting the integrity of nation states’ sovereign rights. Attend this thematic session if you are interested in: Human rights, Gender-based violence, Human trafficking, Family valued [sic], community building and inter-cultural understanding through arts and sports, Refugees and migrants, Arms flows, Access to information, Corruption"” Buzz Buzz Buzz Once again, we must separate fact from fiction, and rhetoric from reality. In this Thematic Session description, as in all the others, fine language and emotional buzzwords are used to appeal to the non-critical thinker. But that's not us. Let's take this thing apart, shall we? Let's start with the overall goal. The UN claims to be able to do something that has never been done in the history of the earth: bring peace to the world. On a similar note, here in Idaho we have signs all along the highway, with a picture of a seatbelt, proclaiming the slogan "Towards Zero Deaths." When I first saw these, I mentioned to my wife that "zero deaths" sounds like such a noble goal, but it is completely impossible without taking away our freedoms, because there is no freedom without risk! Likewise, there can never be absolute peace in the world without brainwashing a la 1984, and/or an absolute dictatorship that has removed all freedoms. This is the "peace" promised by Communism. Real world examples include China, North Korea, the Soviet Union, Vietnam, and Cuba. You murder everyone who could theoretically pose a threat, and then keep everyone else under your boot. Hooray for peace! The Definition Of A Nation In this description, they also complain about "increasing skepticism regarding the viability and effectiveness of multilateral approaches to peacebuilding." Multilateral, according to my dictionary, is defined as something "agreed upon or participated in by three or more parties, especially the governments of different countries". To understand why this is a concern, we must understand what a country is. At its most basic, we could use the definition espoused by radio host Michael Savage, who says that a country is defined by its "borders, language, and culture." This makes sense because at some point in time a group of people claimed an area of land, ie, established borders, in order to have a distinct culture. Over time their language became distinct, as well. And so you have a country. "We will no longer be governed by you," they said to their country of origin. "We will govern ourselves, instead!" This makes sense, as well, because a group only has the right to govern themselves, not anyone else. Each country has distinct borders, language, and culture, so their laws makes sense to them, but people in other areas may not understand why things are the way they are. They want to have things a different way. That's fine. Everyone should have the right to choose their own laws and leaders. Of course, many countries have NOT chosen their laws or leaders, but have instead had these things forced upon them, and this includes most of the countries in the United Nations. The same ones that want to "multilaterally" approach "peacebuilding." Now do you see the problem? If everyone minded their own business, we would all be much happier. “"Nothing in the Constitution nor in logic grants to the President of the United States or to Congress the power to influence the political life of other countries, to “uplift” their cultures, to bolster their economies, to feed their peoples or even to defend them against their enemies. This point was made clear by the wise father of our country, George Washington: "I have always given it as my decided opinion that no nation has a right to intermeddle in the internal concerns of another; that every one had a right to form and adopt whatever government they liked best to live under them selves; and that if this country could, consistent with its engagements, maintain a strict neutrality and thereby preserve peace, it was bound to do so by motives of policy, interest, and every other consideration."" –Excerpt from United States Foreign Policy, by Ezra Taft Benson” I'm looking at you, America! A TSA/CPS Agent's Dream Job Of course, the United Nations also meddles everywhere, and that's just one point of irony. The other is that this Thematic Session is supposedly devoted to "Recovering from Conflict and Nurturing Peace" while the UN is anything but neutral when there is a conflict, and they bring anything but peace to the areas they infest! Taking another page out of 1984, the UN troops are referred to as "peacekeepers." But did you know that there is horrendous and widespread sexual abuse of women and children whenever they bring their "peace" into town? Here is an article from 2006 on the UN's own website, one from 2016 specifically mentioning "child rape" and discussing the 99 "allegations" from the year before (2015), and one from 2017 that points out that the "145 cases of [reported] sexual exploitation and abuse involving peacekeepers in 2016" came from "across all UN staff, not just peacekeepers." Well, that's comforting. This article, also from 2017, discusses many specific incidents, including "When at least 134 Sri Lankan peacekeepers were implicated in a child sex ring." This 2018 article informs us that "Few UN personnel have faced jail (the current number stands at 30), with even fewer being fined, demoted or removed from office." Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy. This is apparently how the UN "nurtures peace" in areas that are "recovering from conflict." Did I mention that we are talking about THE RAPE OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN? Just wanted to throw that out there, as you ponder how seriously this is being taken by the UN. The articles linked to above are not exclusive, and this issue unfortunately did not begin in 2006. This Human Rights Watch article from 2016 is the first of these to mention that "Exploitation and abuse by UN peacekeepers and personnel has been reported since the 1990s." From the first 2017 article, above, we learn: “"The international body has also been accused of burying cases and failing to act promptly or transparently to incidents perpetrated by its troops."” Well, duh! It's the same problem with police in America, or the KGB in the Soviet Union! They see themselves as the top of the food chain! Who's going to stop them, other cops? Ha! Safeguarding Our Future We've all heard that "when the wicked rule the people mourn," (D&C 98:9, Prov. 29:2), but what should be of greater concern to us is the warning in the Book of Mormon that "ye cannot dethrone an iniquitous king save it be through much contention, and the shedding of much blood." (Mosiah 29:21) Who will you turn to when you are abused by a tyrannical world government? Where will you go? "The shedding of much blood," indeed. Oh, and in case you were wondering, "An AP investigation earlier this year found around 2,000 allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse have been registered between 2005-2017." So there's really no reason people should be concerned about UN involvement in their area, is there? Notice that this number does not include anything from the 1990's up to 2005, nor explain why. We'll leave that to your imagination. Usurpation Of Delegated Authority Because a nation's borders keep their people safe, they are one of the top concerns of that nation's government. In America, this is one of the few Constitutional powers of the federal government–to protect our shared borders. Why would a nation care about the security of another nation's borders? It has nothing to do with them, especially when "protecting borders" means sending your own men and women to die. Yet, "The United Nations Charter gives the United Nations Security Council the power and responsibility to take collective action to maintain international peace and security." (United Nations peacekeeping", Wikipedia) This is the sovereign right of a nation, remember? If the UN was not already a de facto world government, why would they be involved? And why would nations let them? Yes, our birthright has been sold, America, and unfortunately we aren't the only ones. By now you should have a pretty good idea of the utter absurdity and hypocrisy of the United Nations condescending to tell the world how it might "have peace" and "recover from conflicts." As the John Birch Society has long urged, it's time to "Get the UN out of the US and get the US out of the UN!" We have a Constitution so that we can govern ourselves. UPDATE (2019-08-21): Please listen to the Defending Utah episode above! Ben touches on many other reasons the UN is not an entity of peace!
UN Goals Unveiled: Inclusive Cities and Communities–Leaving No One Behind
While this Thematic Session is similar to one we discussed previously ("Building Inclusive Communities Through Education"), you'll notice that the first was focused on brainwashing youth through government indoctrination, while this one is specifically about ways to force so-called equality onto our communities. Because they are dealing with adults who are capable of critical thinking, they have to take a different approach. Unfortunately, this approach is still fairly successful. This session's description is as follows: “"Sustainable Development Goal 11 strives to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. The reality is that livelihoods in cities and human settlements are being experienced in increasingly unequal ways, especially among women, female-headed households, youth, children, and other marginalized groups including: the poor; stigmatized ethnic groups; the LGBTQI community; the elderly, and people with disabilities. Join us in this Thematic Session if you care for matters such as: Equality and social cohesion, Participatory planning and governance, Place-making, communities and families, Gender responsive urban and territorial development, Slums and Informality, Urban regeneration, gentrification and livelihoods, Affordable Housing and Homelessness, Land tenure security, Basic services, Mobility systems to empower livelihoods, Accessibility, Safety in green and public spaces."” Equality for All-ity The theme of this session is reminiscent of George Bush's "No Child Left Behind," a program that many criticized as a "race to the bottom" because in order for everyone to pass, they were forced to lower the standards. Yay! No one is getting left behind anymore! Now we're all equally stupid! As you peruse the list of "marginalized groups," you will likely notice that the only group missing from this list is heterosexual White males. As mentioned in our discussion of "Building Inclusive Communities Through Education," what makes this approach so successful is that they are able to convince people that they are somehow looked down upon by others (whether or not it is true), and that they ought to seek legal and societal revenge. While some people do look down on others for various reasons including race, gender, and sexuality, these are "thought crimes," which is to say they are NON-crimes. If no action has been performed to violate another's life, liberty, or property, then there is nothing to punish. Sorry, honey, words don't qualify as actions. Lilith Complex As an example of how this plan works, let us look to feminism. Communists hate the family. They discussed early on how they would need to approach destroying America, the source of their greatest opposition, and decided that destroying the family would be a priority. They have approached this in various ways, including the promotion of everything other than monogamous heterosexuality, but one of the most effective has been to cause women to be disillusioned with their God-given roles in marriage and child-rearing. They began telling women that they were being treated as "second-class citizens," that they deserved more, that they were being excluded from the workforce and military, that male chivalry was actually condescension, and so on. This sort of preaching has promoted the increase we have seen in lesbianism, single-parent homes, divorce, child abandonment, and a host of other destructive practices. It has caused issues in the church with a violent denial of patriarchy, which is, we are told, the way things are run in Heaven. We are equal, but we have different roles to play so that everything can get accomplished. This also has scriptural parallels, as we can see in the following verses: And it came to pass that the Amalekites, because of their loss, were exceedingly angry. And when they saw that they could not seek revenge from the Nephites, they began to stir up the people in anger against their brethren, the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi; therefore they began again to destroy them. (Alma 27:2) Therefore it came to pass that king Laman began to stir up his people that they should contend with my people; therefore there began to be wars and contentions in the land. (Mosiah 9:13) The most poignant is probably Alma 43:6-8, which says: “And now, as the Amalekites were of a more wicked and murderous disposition than the Lamanites were, in and of themselves, therefore, Zerahemnah appointed chief captains over the Lamanites, and they were all Amalekites and Zoramites. Now this he did that he might preserve their hatred towards the Nephites, that he might bring them into subjection to the accomplishment of his designs. For behold, his designs were to stir up the Lamanites to anger against the Nephites; this he did that he might usurp great power over them, and also that he might gain power over the Nephites by bringing them into bondage.” The Power Of Hate Notice how Zarahemna started with those people who were filled with hatred, who were murderous and wicked, and used them to propagandize the rest of the people to stir them up to violence so that he could a) usurp power over his own people, and b) enslave his enemies. By that same token, Communist leaders from time past have gone on the record saying that they hate love and love hate, and that they want to teach their children to hate so that they can have power over their enemies. Are things coming together? There is truly nothing new under the sun. So this, literally, is all that this Thematic Session is about: making people feel "marginalized" and downtrodden, and convincing them that the UN loves them and will grant them power over those they perceive as their enemies. You can see this at work with the homosexual community. No Constitutional judge would ever force a person to bake a cake for anyone, period! Gay, straight, or just plan weird, it doesn't matter because we all have the God-given freedom of association. This UN movement is about, once again, removing our freedom and replacing it with government control.
UN Goals Unveiled: Local and Regional Governments Leading the Way to Sustainable Communities
Today, we will learn about how the UN has been involved in "Local and Regional Governments Leading the Way to Sustainable Communities". Once again, the carefully-chosen words make you feel all warm and tingly inside, but the truth will set you free from the touchy-feelies. As usual, let's kick this off with a reading of the UN text that's complete and utter nonsense, and then commence with the text that does make sense. Take it away, United Nations PR Department: “"Local and regional governments are leading the way to “Build Inclusive and Sustainable Communities.” As the closest government entity to their citizens, they are uniquely positioned to make a difference in people’s lives, while also being on the frontlines of responding to climate change and its impacts on communities. These local governments are making meaningful progress in reducing carbon emissions, becoming more resilient to a warming world, and improving air quality while doing so in an equitable manner to ensure the needs of their citizens are being met. Collaboration is the key to success. This Thematic Session will explore and emphasize the power of multi-stakeholder networks to share information and amplify impact. Concrete examples from several Utah communities will highlight how local governments and civil society organizations have worked together to craft programs, policies, and regulations to create more sustainable communities. Speakers will include senior-level city sustainability staff, a state representative, and local nonprofit partners. They will detail legislation that created a pathway for large-scale renewable energy development, electrified transportation initiatives, and community food production. Attend this session if you work for a municipal government; represent a civil society organization that is looking for examples on ways to collaborate with your local government; or have an interest in renewable energy, energy efficiency, improving air quality, electrified transportation, food security or equitable program design."” Lovely, isn't it? We at Defending Idaho are enormous fans and followers of Ezra Taft Benson, and promoters of the "Proper Role of Government" that he taught. The proper role of government actually only encompasses about fifteen principles, and "whatsoever is more or less than this, cometh of evil." (D&C 98:4-7) We don't have space here to recount all of the principles, but a) you can hear them for yourself here, and b) ain't none of this nonsense in it! Some people–mostly those who think of themselves as "social justice warriors"–seem to think that they know what is best for humanity, and that it is their personal duty to right every wrong they can imagine, no matter what anyone else thinks. (Do you know who Gavin Newsom is?) These people are dangerous with any sort of power or position because they don't care what you think (they think they know better, remember?), and they aren't afraid to pass garbage laws and craft "partnerships" under cover of darkness to get these things done. To be fair, many of these people do honestly believe they are doing the right thing, but that doesn't make their actions Constitutional or correct. In America, we elect people to represent the people, not to be their temporary mothers or dictatorial fathers. We also have a Constitution that outlines what the federal government can and cannot do. Local and state governments have their own constitutions and laws that are supposed to likewise constrain local and state representatives. The "social justice warriors," however, do not feel constrained. They have been taught in government indoctrination centers that the United Nations supersedes all other laws, because it is somehow a "greater good." We also need to point out, as we have before, that the United Nations' agendas are humanist agendas. That is, they believe that there is no God, so they have to step up and "save humanity" themselves. By taking away all of their freedoms. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will recognize this is Satan's plan. Familiarity with the scriptures can be enormously helpful in recognizing deception. For one thing, as the UN scaremongers try to convince us that we are going to run out of food and water, the Lord informs us that "the earth is full, and there is enough and to spare." (D&C 104:17) I live in an area where farmers are paid by the federal government to NOT grow anything on their farmland. And then they turn around and tell us that there are food shortages. Stupid much? With the government, you always have to know what both hands are doing. Now, in that same verse above, the Lord does say that "I… have given unto the children of men to be agents unto themselves." We still need to use our resources wisely, but everything will work out fine. No need for alarm. But if you believe something needs to change, you are to use persuasion and not force. Government is nothing but force. We are facing the use of force today precisely because their methods of persuasion were not… persuasive. People were seeing through their lies. So then they ran an end-run around us and took to brainwashing kids who don't know better and recruiting government officials who want to "change the world," even though that's not what we hired them to do. Look at the list of people who will be speaking at this Thematic Session. Some of the positions they hold are so far outside the proper role of government I don't know where to begin: • Vicki Bennett, Salt Lake City Sustainability Director • Representative Patrice Arent, Utah State Legislature • Luke Cartin, Park City Sustainability Manager, Salt Lake City • Supreet Gill, Salt Lake City Food Program Manager • Debbie Lyons, Salt Lake City Deputy Sustainability Director • Tyler Poulson, Salt Lake City Energy Program Manager • Sarah Wright, Director, Utah Clean Energy "Sustainability" managers and directors? This ridiculous buzzword simply means what I described above: that we are going to run out of stuff and we're all going to die unless we give up all of our freedoms to someone else who will be a benevolent dictator and take care of us! We haven't discussed too many specifics from the description this time. That's because the truth is more important, and when you understand the truth, you won't need anyone to explain why this is all wrong. We will, however, continue to dissect these things in future articles, so you can be informed and help to inform others. I do wish to point out, by the way, the use of the phrase "regional government." These are pseudo-governmental bodies that are unelected by–and unaccountable to–the people! We have learned of one such regional government that straddles Northern Utah and Southern Idaho. Yes, friends, here in Idaho. We've had the wool pulled over our eyes, and the freedom pulled out from under our feet. We will report on this in future articles, as well. I know we already linked to it above, but there really would be no better time than now to learn the Proper Role of Government. View it in the video above.
A "Data-Driven Approach"… But Who's Driving The Data?
"MORE TESTS, MORE TESTS, MORE TESTS! TESTS FOR EVERYONE!" Governor Little virtually screamed, as he unveiled his recent strategy that "lays out five priority groups for testing". An act that aims to increase current COVID-19 testing in Idaho nearly ten times its current rate. “We have an impressive team of very capable local clinical and laboratory and research experts from across the state helping us navigate this crisis, and I sincerely appreciate their help,” the governor said, according to a recent Idaho Press article. But don't worry, we Idahoans won't have to pay all of the associated costs. We'll be getting $55 million in imaginary dollars the Federal Reserve conjured up and tacked onto the nation's enormous deficit, with interest. That's okay, though, because it's debt your kids will have to pay, not you. With somewhere around a 0.029% rate of cases per capita shortly after the lockdown was mandated, as reported by the Idaho Statesman website, and the fact that this number hasn't changed substantially ever since, we have to wonder what universe the governor lives in when he refers to this as a "crisis". But don't worry, the governor is taking a "data-driven approach" to this "pandemic," according to the official Idaho Rebounds website. That makes it sound like our leaders are weighing scientific facts and on-the-ground realities to justify their egregious violations of our civil liberties. But are they? And, if so, just what is this data, and where is it coming from? Most of us were taught in government indoctrination centers (ie, public schools) that we should pick our sources of information carefully, and then we were given a short list of "reliable" sources, including the daily news, because presumably they only provide verifiable facts. The video above demonstrates just one instance where multiple newscasters, from multiple well-known news agencies including CBS, FOX, and ABC, simply parrot a script that has been provided to them, complete with fill-in-the-blanks for the names of their local communities. (Please watch the video now, if you haven't already.) This sometimes takes the form of catch-phrases, as well, such as "data-driven approach," carefully-chosen for its allusion to, and illusion of, being fact-led. Here, for example, is a screenshot from a recent email from the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma: [choctaw-screenshot.jpg] Sound familiar? A quick internet search reveals that identical phraseology is being used by governors and others across the country. This raises eyebrows, but is, of course, not definitive proof of anything. For now, we'll take it as evidence of possible collusion. Part of the problem, as we questioned earlier, is just what this "data" is that is driving the governor's approach. Since this all began with UN data, they seem like logical suspects. Is there a connection? Indeed, there is. ICLEI is "a global network of more than 1,750 local and regional governments committed to sustainable urban development." They take, as their sole influence, United Nations goals and guidelines. Constitutional? Not on your life. Treason? Absolutely, if Americans were to participate. Are they? Well, the official site for the United States used to publish a list of who their members were. They removed this list on July 3, 2017, after a public backlash when citizens discovered that their community leaders were leading them down the path to socialism and global governance. Today, they list only the communities. This list includes Boise and Moscow. Since it is obvious that the "pandemic" is false (see the many links and videos here), why keep up false pretenses? The answer to that question becomes obvious when you look at what it is being used to justify: increased surveillance (including drones, robotic dogs *, snitching on neighbors, and cellphone tracking), mandatory vaccination (also here), the shutdown of churches, fewer people driving their automobiles, and more. Oh, and let's not forget the opportunity to implement a long-lusted-after biometric database, which has already been implemented in other countries, like India, made drastically easier with a simple cotton swab up the nose. That mandatory vaccination article is super important! Go back and read it! That list just happens to also outline some of the things the United Nations have been attempting to put in place globally. Their stated intention, in fact, was to have had these goals in place by the year 2000, which obviously didn't happen. A new boogeyman was needed, one that would allow their minions an excuse to bypass the objections of those they were elected to represent. They found it. Zak Doffman, cybersecurity contributor for Forbes, put it this way: “As I reported last week, as the tracking landscape in Europe and the U.S. began to change: “Everything about coronavirus is unprecedented. Our leaders talk about “the invisible enemy” and being on a war footing. The technology at their disposal will create a huge conflict within each of us. We want our governments to do all they can, but at some point we will make privacy compromises as never before.”” We know this smacks of "conspiracy theory," but they said they would do these things, and now they are doing them. This is no longer a theory. It is reality. FOOTNOTES: * "But those robotic dogs are in Singapore, not America!" you might argue. True, but you paid for them. They were created by Boston Dynamics, which is funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which belongs to the Department of Defense, which gets its funds from your taxes. Seem a little odd?
Take The COVID-19 Challenge!
September 10th and 11th, 2021, brought some interesting things in the news and the mail. Let's discuss COVID-19 "political games" and the refusal of the LDS Church in California to issue COVID "vaccine" exemptions! Please note: The video and audio on this page are identical.
The New "Normal"
The astute have long been warning that we are heading into a future marred by a "social credit" system. The details are unknown to most Americans, but they are there, nonetheless, and the COVID "pandemic" has intentionally thrust us headlong into this system. How, you ask? Read on. In his August 2021 article, entitled "American Federation of Teachers Sells Out to Rockefellers, Trilateralists, and Big Tech," investigative journalist John Klyczek lays out in great detail how the government-run public education system works hand-in-hand with Big Tech, psychologists, and corporations, to manipulate, track, and data-mine American children. He asks, “Why would the American Federation of Teachers go against “following the science” by lobbying the CDC to backpedal its relaxation of school health and safety protocols? Why would the AFT defy CDC experts by opposing school re-openings in favor of extending COVID restrictions that prop open the floodgates for the ed-tech industry to advance its privatization of public education through “remote” e-learning contracts? Why do this when mainstream medical journals, such as the Lancet, have published data which finds that “[c]hildren and young people remain at low risk of COVID-19 mortality”? What is the point when there is mounting evidence that in-person schoolhouse learning does not result in rising community transmission rates of COVID-19? [1]” From the outside, these questions are puzzling. Shouldn't one of the nation's largest teacher's unions be advocating for a return to schools? As is often the case, those positioning themselves as "advocates" are… not. Klyzcek continues: “To be sure, the AFT states that health and safety priorities are their motivating factors for doubling down on COVID mitigation policies, which effectively necessitate remote online schooling. Nevertheless, a close look at the history of the AFT reveals that it has a long track record of selling out its dues-paying teachers to the global ed-tech industrial complex by cutting side deals with Big Tech companies, such as IBM and Microsoft; corporate philanthropies, including the Rockefeller Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation; and world governance institutions, like the Trilateral Commission and the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). In light of these past dealings with corporatists, globalists, and technocrats, it appears that the AFT may have ulterior motives to stall the full return to in-person learning in order to wedge schools into contracting with the union’s ed-tech cronies, such as IBM and Microsoft, which are driving “Reimagine Education” campaigns along with UNESCO to spur the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset” for the “Fourth Industrial Revolution.” By pressing the CDC to drag out COVID constraints that relegate education systems to “distance” and “hybrid,” or “blended,” combinations of virtual-online instruction, the AFT has essentially been lobbying to hitch schools to multinational ed-tech cartels which aim to data-mine students’ psychometrics for workforce “competence” in the global “Social Credit” economy of the “surveillance capitalist” Fourth Industrial Revolution.” In other words, this large and powerful organization – in concert with the other major teacher's union, the National Education Association (NEA) [2] – has for decades been setting the stage for globalists to control education through technological means, with the actual end-goal being a sort of "social credit" system. With 2020 behind us, and the fake coronavirus pandemic, we have already seen the power of social manipulation. The forthcoming "vaccine passports" are, in fact, the emerging head of this "social credit" system, a means to control the actions of mankind by mandating compliance – or be removed from society. No vax, no job! [3] No vax, no movies! [4] No vax, no food! [5] No government benefits without the vax! [6] Be a good citizen! [7] Follow your leaders! [8] Follow your rock stars! [9] Follow your movie stars! [10] We'll give you extra privileges! [11] If you don't, we'll make life hard [12], take away your freedoms [13], limit your internet access [14], and/or incarcerate you [15]. This is what a "social credit" system looks like. If you want to do anything, you'd better get in compliance! But is this really a "social credit" system"? They're not keeping score, like the Chinese, right? Let's take a look. At the 2019 Brazilian Symposium of Games, professors Livia Topper Press and Alessandro Vieira Dos Reis presented "Sesame Credit and the Social Compliance Gamification in China," in which they state the following: “Sesame Credit is the most important gamified Chinese social credit model. It aims at monitoring and regulating the behavior of more than a billion citizens… Basing itself on the distribution of rewards and punishments to individuals, upon scoring based on the compliance of the aforementioned citizens towards laws and government interests. [20]” Drew Donnelly, PhD, had the following to say in his own article on Sesame Credit: “The consequences of a poor social credit score could be serious. It may affect travel prospects, employment, access to finance, and the ability to enter into contracts. On the other hand, a positive credit score could make a range of business transactions for individuals and corporations much easier. [21]” Dr. Donnelly also points out that there is also an "implementation of the system for corporations, known as the ‘corporate social credit rating’," to make the control grid complete. Website The Artifice, in their article, also point out that: “…Alibaba [the government-run Chinese equivalent of Amazon] used the data that they and their partners had collected in order to establish a credit score for these people and small businesses. Alibaba collected information on the spending habits of over 300 million people and over 37 million small businesses to accurately assess the credit scores that people should have. In this vein, Sesame Credit is very similar to any other credit services around the world, however there was one major difference. Sesame Credit doesn’t only take in credit information and spending habits, but also online behavioural patterns, personal characteristics (how long they have lived in a specific residence or their mobile phone information) and their personal relationships. It monitored who small companies were associated with and who people were friends with online through places like Tencent related social websites. With this information the scores of peoples’ Sesame Credit were affected by who they chose to interact with. [22]” The first comment by a reader on that 2016 article started out by saying, "You know, in a way, this Sesame Credit scoring system reminds me of the American educational system I grew up with." And that is our point. This has actually been going in America for many, many decades. Former educator Beverly Eakman used to speak and write about this, providing a lot of factual information to prove that it was/is happening. In July, 2008, she gave a presentation to the 9th Annual Freedom 21 Conference, in Dallas, Texas. [17] She discussed the increasing use of "psychographics" and other data-gathering employed by educational institutions, and pointed to a research paper that used "a list of liberal versus conservative books purchased through Amazon." “The question is troubling because The National Longitudinal Study from the National Center for Education Statistics, which is part of the Department of Education lasted from 1988-2000. The parental information from Amazon, matched against children’s current opinions on school surveys, can be powerful determinants of future political behavior, and technology is now to the point where I [sic] such information can follow kids from pre-school through college, on into the workplace…” She highlights how "testing" in public schools is actually psychological "profiling." But we ask again, to what end? “Today, hundreds of seemingly unrelated pieces of data that reveal political leanings and parental views are fed into a “predictive” computer algorithm… Once computerization became truly practical, marketing agencies started hiring statisticians with concurrent degrees in psychology. Marketing moguls have long known that the best predictor of what consumers might buy tomorrow was whatever they bought yesterday—your “purchase history.” In the late 1970s, political experts realized that the same could be said for what a person believes… All this brings up covert, pre-assigned ID coding, which government agencies swear doesn’t exist. So brace yourselves; this is where it starts getting really ugly, beginning with this website: • STUDENT UNIQUE INDENTIFIER (NDE Uniq ID) Steps to assigning Student Unique ID’s www.nde.ne.us.nssrs, updated January 2, 2008 Now, I picked a state at random, Nebraska, but it could have been just about any state—which means, this is a national initiative, with the state serving as the “fall guy.” The state education agency (that’s the state arm of the U.S. Dept. of Education) establishes the procedures and pretends to write its “own” training manuals for how to assign a unique identifying number to every student. All such “procedures” are written with a word or phrase changed here and there, or in a different order, and legislators and the press fall for it. In fact, all state procedures are virtually identical. Once the kid’s state- supplied ID number is in the bag, so to speak (in this case the Nebraska Department of Education’s “Uniqu-ID”), the state can transmit to the feds, or anywhere else, for that matter. The interesting thing about this is the Unique Student Number, assigned by the state, and the Social Security number, assigned by the feds, are going to be cross-matched—in ways that will make your jaw drop. ” She was able to access files that were later restricted, on the website she provided, and saved and printed many of them. What she discovered is that they track things like a student's religion (which is supposed to be off-limits), and that student are "micro-targeted" using different versions of assessment forms. “If you get a chance go to the Handbook of the National Center for Education Statistics at www.nces.ed.gov/programs/handbook.com. You will find proof of the predictive algorithms I discussed earlier, the formulas that will forecast your kids’ probable political behaviors based on the responses he or she provides on assessments and surveys… It doesn’t stop there. There is an incredibly detailed level of invasiveness, all automated, or required: every aspect of a child’s teeth and dental work, pre-natal observations of the mother, such as weight gain during pregnancy, gestational age of child at birth, and birth weight. In other words, Ladies, while you were at the hospital in labor, your government was laboring to circumvent the privacy laws. This tells you how much that HIPAA privacy “agreement” you have to sign every time you walk into a new doctor’s office or pick up a prescription at the pharmacy is worth. Can we say zero? I also found a copyright-protected, restricted-use longitudinal data file. This was evidence of surreptitious data-gathering via an “electronic codebook,” going back to birth and pre-school. The focus was social skills, rated by psychologists using a Social Rating Scale.” A what? Yes, a "Social Rating Scale." A "social credit" system, but a secret one that has been used against us, covertly, all our lives. [16] “The marriage of computerized data-collection and educational indoctrination continues to evolve, fulfilling the objectives of early leftists like Paul Popenoe, editor of old American Eugenics Society journal—and yes, that means just what you think it means—who wrote that “the educational system should be a sieve, through which all children are passed. It is very desirable,” he said, “that no child escape inspection.” The dots go back to education, folks. Young people have no idea how we got re-routed from the Founders’ original ideals. Most parents themselves couldn’t tell their kids how we got here—via movers and shakers like [list of names]. Hardly any school—public or private—covers these influential moguls. Yet, every one rejected traditional notions about right and wrong. Every one indicated that religious convictions are a sign of mental illness. Every one urged inspection of children and parents for signs of dogmatism, inflexibility and paranoia.” So, today we find ourselves falling into a trap of social coercion, where we must comply with ridiculous "vaccine" mandates or lose access to civilization. The fact is, however, they already knew which of us would resist because they have been tracking our beliefs, philosophies, and actions, all our lives, and storing it in the NSA's data centers, along with all of our communications. [18] It makes sense now why the US Post Office was recently deputized as watchers of our social media (publicly, at least; they've actually been monitoring us for decades). [23] “Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. In each of these cities, The Intercept has identified an AT&T facility containing networking equipment that transports large quantities of internet traffic across the United States and the world. A body of evidence – including classified NSA documents, public records, and interviews with several former AT&T employees – indicates that the buildings are central to an NSA spying initiative that has for years monitored billions of emails, phone calls, and online chats passing across U.S. territory.” Of course, that's without mentioning the roles of Google and Facebook, et al. [19] So, welcome to the "new normal." It's been a long time coming. UPDATE [2021-10-27]: “Once you support mandate for two doses, then you have to support for the booster, and then support 60 boosters, 199 boosters. It will be endless. And you’ll be tied into this [social] credit system you built. ~ Li-Meng Yan Vaccine Passports Will Usher in a Social Credit System Of course, the COVID shots and the vaccine passports also fit into the CCP agenda by making the whole world accept and adopt the CCP’s social control system. The vaccine passports are clearly designed to usher in a social credit system like they have in China. And with that, you get 24/7 digital surveillance and an unbelievable amount of control over every single person.” Read the full exposé here: Mercola: Chinese Defector Reveals COVID Origin [UPDATE 2021-11-01] “New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, when asked if New Zealand’s Covid policies will create a two-tiered society, with non-vaccinated citizens being denied rights, readily agreed with a smile and said, “that is what it is.” [24]” “Both the Senate and House versions of the Labor, Education, and Health and Human Services Appropriations bill remove the prohibition on the development of a “unique patient identifier.” The prohibition on funding for the unique patient identifier, which I [Ron Paul] sponsored, has been in place since 1998. The push to allow the government to force every American to obtain a unique patient identifier is being justified as a means to efficiently monitor Americans’ “contact and immunization” status. [25]” [UPDATE 2021-11-24] “…countries such as Israel and Austria are canceling “expired” vaccination cards and requiring citizens and visitors to receive booster shots to refresh their vaccination status so they can continue to live as part of society. [26]” “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has warned that the Covid restrictions being imposed worldwide are an attempt by the New World Order to destroy democracy as we know it. [27]” [UPDATE 2021-12-01] “A new Digital Drivers License is currently in the works in Utah and other states. The program lists items that can be tracked or added later, and includes vaccine records, financial reports credit scores, travel records, taxes, spending, voting, sex offeder [sic] status, dietary preferences, licenses and permits, background checks, rewards programs and social credit scoring. This is the Chinese model for totalitarianism. [28]” “Melissa Ciummei, a financial investor from Northern Ireland, explained that vaccine passports, also called health passes, serve no purpose in promoting health, but are instead a tool for control. She warned that children are targeted for the purpose of indoctrination for the future. A digital ID is necessary to bring in central bank digital currency (CBDC) for totalitarian control, and vaccine passports are necessary to bring in digital ID.

UN Goals Unveiled: Peaceful Societies–Recovering from Conflict and Nurturing Peace
Do people notice hypocrisy any more? When, for instance, millionaire Bernie Sanders trots around the world in his private jet pimping Socialism and chastising the rest of us for causing climate change… does anyone bat an eye? Ditto for Al Gore and many others. What's missing is critical thinking, a skill no longer taught in government indoctrination centers. What they do teach under that name is a form of "social justice" thinking and "values clarification" that is nothing more than humanistic brainwashing. In today's article we will learn about peace, love, and respect from the UN. What could go wrong? “"Peace is necessary for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and is a specific goal in itself. This session will focus on the interface between peace, justice and strong institutions (SDG 16) and Safe, Resilient, Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11).The last decade has been marked by increasing skepticism regarding the viability and effectiveness of multilateral approaches to peacebuilding. The Peaceful Societies Thematic Session will discuss how civil society organizations are integrating objective measures to achieve an inclusive and sustainable culture of peaceful coexistence in their local activities while respecting the integrity of nation states’ sovereign rights. Attend this thematic session if you are interested in: Human rights, Gender-based violence, Human trafficking, Family valued [sic], community building and inter-cultural understanding through arts and sports, Refugees and migrants, Arms flows, Access to information, Corruption"” Buzz Buzz Buzz Once again, we must separate fact from fiction, and rhetoric from reality. In this Thematic Session description, as in all the others, fine language and emotional buzzwords are used to appeal to the non-critical thinker. But that's not us. Let's take this thing apart, shall we? Let's start with the overall goal. The UN claims to be able to do something that has never been done in the history of the earth: bring peace to the world. On a similar note, here in Idaho we have signs all along the highway, with a picture of a seatbelt, proclaiming the slogan "Towards Zero Deaths." When I first saw these, I mentioned to my wife that "zero deaths" sounds like such a noble goal, but it is completely impossible without taking away our freedoms, because there is no freedom without risk! Likewise, there can never be absolute peace in the world without brainwashing a la 1984, and/or an absolute dictatorship that has removed all freedoms. This is the "peace" promised by Communism. Real world examples include China, North Korea, the Soviet Union, Vietnam, and Cuba. You murder everyone who could theoretically pose a threat, and then keep everyone else under your boot. Hooray for peace! The Definition Of A Nation In this description, they also complain about "increasing skepticism regarding the viability and effectiveness of multilateral approaches to peacebuilding." Multilateral, according to my dictionary, is defined as something "agreed upon or participated in by three or more parties, especially the governments of different countries". To understand why this is a concern, we must understand what a country is. At its most basic, we could use the definition espoused by radio host Michael Savage, who says that a country is defined by its "borders, language, and culture." This makes sense because at some point in time a group of people claimed an area of land, ie, established borders, in order to have a distinct culture. Over time their language became distinct, as well. And so you have a country. "We will no longer be governed by you," they said to their country of origin. "We will govern ourselves, instead!" This makes sense, as well, because a group only has the right to govern themselves, not anyone else. Each country has distinct borders, language, and culture, so their laws makes sense to them, but people in other areas may not understand why things are the way they are. They want to have things a different way. That's fine. Everyone should have the right to choose their own laws and leaders. Of course, many countries have NOT chosen their laws or leaders, but have instead had these things forced upon them, and this includes most of the countries in the United Nations. The same ones that want to "multilaterally" approach "peacebuilding." Now do you see the problem? If everyone minded their own business, we would all be much happier. “"Nothing in the Constitution nor in logic grants to the President of the United States or to Congress the power to influence the political life of other countries, to “uplift” their cultures, to bolster their economies, to feed their peoples or even to defend them against their enemies. This point was made clear by the wise father of our country, George Washington: "I have always given it as my decided opinion that no nation has a right to intermeddle in the internal concerns of another; that every one had a right to form and adopt whatever government they liked best to live under them selves; and that if this country could, consistent with its engagements, maintain a strict neutrality and thereby preserve peace, it was bound to do so by motives of policy, interest, and every other consideration."" –Excerpt from United States Foreign Policy, by Ezra Taft Benson” I'm looking at you, America! A TSA/CPS Agent's Dream Job Of course, the United Nations also meddles everywhere, and that's just one point of irony. The other is that this Thematic Session is supposedly devoted to "Recovering from Conflict and Nurturing Peace" while the UN is anything but neutral when there is a conflict, and they bring anything but peace to the areas they infest! Taking another page out of 1984, the UN troops are referred to as "peacekeepers." But did you know that there is horrendous and widespread sexual abuse of women and children whenever they bring their "peace" into town? Here is an article from 2006 on the UN's own website, one from 2016 specifically mentioning "child rape" and discussing the 99 "allegations" from the year before (2015), and one from 2017 that points out that the "145 cases of [reported] sexual exploitation and abuse involving peacekeepers in 2016" came from "across all UN staff, not just peacekeepers." Well, that's comforting. This article, also from 2017, discusses many specific incidents, including "When at least 134 Sri Lankan peacekeepers were implicated in a child sex ring." This 2018 article informs us that "Few UN personnel have faced jail (the current number stands at 30), with even fewer being fined, demoted or removed from office." Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy. This is apparently how the UN "nurtures peace" in areas that are "recovering from conflict." Did I mention that we are talking about THE RAPE OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN? Just wanted to throw that out there, as you ponder how seriously this is being taken by the UN. The articles linked to above are not exclusive, and this issue unfortunately did not begin in 2006. This Human Rights Watch article from 2016 is the first of these to mention that "Exploitation and abuse by UN peacekeepers and personnel has been reported since the 1990s." From the first 2017 article, above, we learn: “"The international body has also been accused of burying cases and failing to act promptly or transparently to incidents perpetrated by its troops."” Well, duh! It's the same problem with police in America, or the KGB in the Soviet Union! They see themselves as the top of the food chain! Who's going to stop them, other cops? Ha! Safeguarding Our Future We've all heard that "when the wicked rule the people mourn," (D&C 98:9, Prov. 29:2), but what should be of greater concern to us is the warning in the Book of Mormon that "ye cannot dethrone an iniquitous king save it be through much contention, and the shedding of much blood." (Mosiah 29:21) Who will you turn to when you are abused by a tyrannical world government? Where will you go? "The shedding of much blood," indeed. Oh, and in case you were wondering, "An AP investigation earlier this year found around 2,000 allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse have been registered between 2005-2017." So there's really no reason people should be concerned about UN involvement in their area, is there? Notice that this number does not include anything from the 1990's up to 2005, nor explain why. We'll leave that to your imagination. Usurpation Of Delegated Authority Because a nation's borders keep their people safe, they are one of the top concerns of that nation's government. In America, this is one of the few Constitutional powers of the federal government–to protect our shared borders. Why would a nation care about the security of another nation's borders? It has nothing to do with them, especially when "protecting borders" means sending your own men and women to die. Yet, "The United Nations Charter gives the United Nations Security Council the power and responsibility to take collective action to maintain international peace and security." (United Nations peacekeeping", Wikipedia) This is the sovereign right of a nation, remember? If the UN was not already a de facto world government, why would they be involved? And why would nations let them? Yes, our birthright has been sold, America, and unfortunately we aren't the only ones. By now you should have a pretty good idea of the utter absurdity and hypocrisy of the United Nations condescending to tell the world how it might "have peace" and "recover from conflicts." As the John Birch Society has long urged, it's time to "Get the UN out of the US and get the US out of the UN!" We have a Constitution so that we can govern ourselves. UPDATE (2019-08-21): Please listen to the Defending Utah episode above! Ben touches on many other reasons the UN is not an entity of peace!
UN Goals Unveiled: Climate Change–Cities and Communities in Action
Today we will analyze the upcoming UN Conference's "Thematic Session," entitled "Climate Change–Cities and Communities in Action". While this topic can raise some "heated" debate, if you'll pardon the expression, it is apparent that this issue is more emotional than factual, like most UN-driven issues. Let's examine the official description of this session and then analyze its contents. “"As outlined in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and other reports elaborated over the years by the scientific community, as well as public and private sector entities, climate change with its associated risks is among the defining issues of our time, the impact of which is global in scope and unprecedented in scale and is already disrupting communities and livelihoods, especially of those living in poverty. However, there is a growing recognition that affordable, scalable solutions are currently available that will enable us all to leapfrog to more green, clean, resilient economies in the long run. Cities and communities, underpinned by strong advocacy from civil society are acting on reducing emissions and on development for resiliency, with innovative strategies for carbon neutrality and resilient infrastructure; transportation and energy systems decarbonisation, zero emissions buildings; innovative financing mechanisms and behaviour change among consumers, producers and policymakers. With the UN Secretary-General’s Climate Action Summit 2019 taking place in September 2019, this session will be an opportunity to boost ambition and accelerate action to implement the Paris Agreement, with a focus on local action and the role of youth."” We begin with the frightening tale of how "the impact of [climate change] is global in scope and unprecedented in scale and is already disrupting communities and livelihoods". Oh, the terror! Of course, since it is "global" in scale, the only solution is global governance. A historical fact that is not taught in government indoctrination centers (ie, public schools) is that the United Nations started out as the League of Nations, which presented itself as the solution to worldwide wars immediately after World War I, which it was responsible for creating. (Remember the Hegelian Dialectic? "Problem-Reaction-Solution" You cause the problem and then offer yourself as the solution.) They believed that if they caused a situation horrific enough, people would clamor to give up their freedom in order for the League of Nations to save them. After all, we can't have a "world war" anymore if there is a "world government," can we? When this plan failed, they started World War II and presented themselves again as the solution, now rebranded as the United Nations. While they haven't ever "officially" been declared the world's government, they do, in fact, act like it, and even the United States government bows to their authority. What's important to comprehend, however, is their primary methodology: scare tactics, whether real or imagined. For decades, they have tried one thing after another–overpopulation, a new ice age, imaginary holes in the sky, global warming, and now the ambiguous "climate change"–never actually able to get people whipped up into enough of a frenzy that they would finally give up their liberties. Until now. The opening statement also assumes the high position of carrying the authority of the IPCC and other experts and, of course, years worth of reports. You can just see them piling up all over the offices at the UN. No wonder they're in such a hurry! This, ladies and gentlemen, is a logical fallacy known as "appeal to authority." What makes this sort of argument particularly egregious is that it is most effective when used against the young, precisely where the "climate change" doctrine is preached. Those of us who hold our doubts about so-called "human-induced climate change" are old enough to think critically about the matter, and expect the facts to bear out. Children, on the other hand, are taught from birth that they should respect authority figures and, particularly in public school, never to question the "experts." (If you don't already understand that this is by design, I encourage you to stop reading this article and immediately download a free copy of "The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America" by Charlot Iserbyt!) If you get nonsense into their heads early enough, they will never question it. Especially if you can get immoral "experts" to lie, fudge numbers, and otherwise manipulate data for political purposes. Of course, it is also necessary to demonize and vilify those who disagree, even if they are NASA scientists and other actual climate scientists, so you can pretend that there is an "overwhelming consensus." See also here and here. For a former climate scientist's discussion on the effect of "climate catastrophe" on children, I recommend "Child prophets and proselytizers of climate catastrophe" by Judith Curry. Also note that there is never substantive media coverage of those scientists who oppose the agenda, even when they are among the IPCC itself: “"But two members of the committee, Peter Lilley (Conservative) and Graham Stringer (Labour), disagreed with the other nine. They accused their fellow MPs of not holding the IPCC critically to account. “As scientists by training, we do not dispute the science of the greenhouse effect – nor did any of our witnesses,” they said in a statement. “However, there remain great uncertainties about how much warming a given increase in greenhouse gases will cause, how much damage any temperature increase will cause and the best balance between adaptation to versus prevention of global warming.” The two MPs say that the underlying technical report of the IPCC acknowledges many uncertainties, but these have been omitted from the critical Summary for Policymakers, presented to politicians." – Politicizing the IPCC report, by Judith Curry.” Next in the description you will notice that we must "leapfrog to more green, clean, resilient economies." If you remember the game of leapfrog, you will recall that each player must jump over the one in front of them. That is the UN's demand, as well. There is never a request for gradual change; it is always something that must be forced on everyone immediately. This is followed by a call for "carbon neutrality," a ridiculous phrase if there ever was one. I point you to the essay, "Carbon is not the enemy", by the journal Nature, as well as Dr. Judith Curry's discussion of this and other essays on the topic. We could go into much more discussion of this brief description, but the facts should be clear already: "climate change" is unscientific nonsense that is being force-fed to our children in order to be used by the United Nations as an excuse to take control of every facet of our lives. See if you can identify the real agendas behind the buzzwords for this "thematic session": “"Join us for this Thematic Session if you care for matters such as: Low carbon pathways and per capita footprint; Transport and mobility transformation, Renewable energy, Fiscal incentives for green tech, Coastal communities, Climate-smart food production, Land use, land-change and forestry"” Among the list of speakers for this session are Jackie Biskupski, the lesbian Mayor of Salt Lake City, Selina Neirok Leem, a Youth Delegate from The Republic of the Marshall Islands, and Olumide Idowu, Co-Founder of a non-profit known as Climate Wednesday. We encourage you to visit the Climate Wednesday website to see if you can identify the calls for global government intervention. We leave you with this thought, for your consideration: “"Satan will take control of the world by claiming ownership of her resources." –Professor Hugh Nibley” And the United Nations will claim ownership by virtue of "saving the planet."
UN Goals Unveiled: Local and Regional Governments Leading the Way to Sustainable Communities
Today, we will learn about how the UN has been involved in "Local and Regional Governments Leading the Way to Sustainable Communities". Once again, the carefully-chosen words make you feel all warm and tingly inside, but the truth will set you free from the touchy-feelies. As usual, let's kick this off with a reading of the UN text that's complete and utter nonsense, and then commence with the text that does make sense. Take it away, United Nations PR Department: “"Local and regional governments are leading the way to “Build Inclusive and Sustainable Communities.” As the closest government entity to their citizens, they are uniquely positioned to make a difference in people’s lives, while also being on the frontlines of responding to climate change and its impacts on communities. These local governments are making meaningful progress in reducing carbon emissions, becoming more resilient to a warming world, and improving air quality while doing so in an equitable manner to ensure the needs of their citizens are being met. Collaboration is the key to success. This Thematic Session will explore and emphasize the power of multi-stakeholder networks to share information and amplify impact. Concrete examples from several Utah communities will highlight how local governments and civil society organizations have worked together to craft programs, policies, and regulations to create more sustainable communities. Speakers will include senior-level city sustainability staff, a state representative, and local nonprofit partners. They will detail legislation that created a pathway for large-scale renewable energy development, electrified transportation initiatives, and community food production. Attend this session if you work for a municipal government; represent a civil society organization that is looking for examples on ways to collaborate with your local government; or have an interest in renewable energy, energy efficiency, improving air quality, electrified transportation, food security or equitable program design."” Lovely, isn't it? We at Defending Idaho are enormous fans and followers of Ezra Taft Benson, and promoters of the "Proper Role of Government" that he taught. The proper role of government actually only encompasses about fifteen principles, and "whatsoever is more or less than this, cometh of evil." (D&C 98:4-7) We don't have space here to recount all of the principles, but a) you can hear them for yourself here, and b) ain't none of this nonsense in it! Some people–mostly those who think of themselves as "social justice warriors"–seem to think that they know what is best for humanity, and that it is their personal duty to right every wrong they can imagine, no matter what anyone else thinks. (Do you know who Gavin Newsom is?) These people are dangerous with any sort of power or position because they don't care what you think (they think they know better, remember?), and they aren't afraid to pass garbage laws and craft "partnerships" under cover of darkness to get these things done. To be fair, many of these people do honestly believe they are doing the right thing, but that doesn't make their actions Constitutional or correct. In America, we elect people to represent the people, not to be their temporary mothers or dictatorial fathers. We also have a Constitution that outlines what the federal government can and cannot do. Local and state governments have their own constitutions and laws that are supposed to likewise constrain local and state representatives. The "social justice warriors," however, do not feel constrained. They have been taught in government indoctrination centers that the United Nations supersedes all other laws, because it is somehow a "greater good." We also need to point out, as we have before, that the United Nations' agendas are humanist agendas. That is, they believe that there is no God, so they have to step up and "save humanity" themselves. By taking away all of their freedoms. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will recognize this is Satan's plan. Familiarity with the scriptures can be enormously helpful in recognizing deception. For one thing, as the UN scaremongers try to convince us that we are going to run out of food and water, the Lord informs us that "the earth is full, and there is enough and to spare." (D&C 104:17) I live in an area where farmers are paid by the federal government to NOT grow anything on their farmland. And then they turn around and tell us that there are food shortages. Stupid much? With the government, you always have to know what both hands are doing. Now, in that same verse above, the Lord does say that "I… have given unto the children of men to be agents unto themselves." We still need to use our resources wisely, but everything will work out fine. No need for alarm. But if you believe something needs to change, you are to use persuasion and not force. Government is nothing but force. We are facing the use of force today precisely because their methods of persuasion were not… persuasive. People were seeing through their lies. So then they ran an end-run around us and took to brainwashing kids who don't know better and recruiting government officials who want to "change the world," even though that's not what we hired them to do. Look at the list of people who will be speaking at this Thematic Session. Some of the positions they hold are so far outside the proper role of government I don't know where to begin: • Vicki Bennett, Salt Lake City Sustainability Director • Representative Patrice Arent, Utah State Legislature • Luke Cartin, Park City Sustainability Manager, Salt Lake City • Supreet Gill, Salt Lake City Food Program Manager • Debbie Lyons, Salt Lake City Deputy Sustainability Director • Tyler Poulson, Salt Lake City Energy Program Manager • Sarah Wright, Director, Utah Clean Energy "Sustainability" managers and directors? This ridiculous buzzword simply means what I described above: that we are going to run out of stuff and we're all going to die unless we give up all of our freedoms to someone else who will be a benevolent dictator and take care of us! We haven't discussed too many specifics from the description this time. That's because the truth is more important, and when you understand the truth, you won't need anyone to explain why this is all wrong. We will, however, continue to dissect these things in future articles, so you can be informed and help to inform others. I do wish to point out, by the way, the use of the phrase "regional government." These are pseudo-governmental bodies that are unelected by–and unaccountable to–the people! We have learned of one such regional government that straddles Northern Utah and Southern Idaho. Yes, friends, here in Idaho. We've had the wool pulled over our eyes, and the freedom pulled out from under our feet. We will report on this in future articles, as well. I know we already linked to it above, but there really would be no better time than now to learn the Proper Role of Government. View it in the video above.
A "Data-Driven Approach"… But Who's Driving The Data?
"MORE TESTS, MORE TESTS, MORE TESTS! TESTS FOR EVERYONE!" Governor Little virtually screamed, as he unveiled his recent strategy that "lays out five priority groups for testing". An act that aims to increase current COVID-19 testing in Idaho nearly ten times its current rate. “We have an impressive team of very capable local clinical and laboratory and research experts from across the state helping us navigate this crisis, and I sincerely appreciate their help,” the governor said, according to a recent Idaho Press article. But don't worry, we Idahoans won't have to pay all of the associated costs. We'll be getting $55 million in imaginary dollars the Federal Reserve conjured up and tacked onto the nation's enormous deficit, with interest. That's okay, though, because it's debt your kids will have to pay, not you. With somewhere around a 0.029% rate of cases per capita shortly after the lockdown was mandated, as reported by the Idaho Statesman website, and the fact that this number hasn't changed substantially ever since, we have to wonder what universe the governor lives in when he refers to this as a "crisis". But don't worry, the governor is taking a "data-driven approach" to this "pandemic," according to the official Idaho Rebounds website. That makes it sound like our leaders are weighing scientific facts and on-the-ground realities to justify their egregious violations of our civil liberties. But are they? And, if so, just what is this data, and where is it coming from? Most of us were taught in government indoctrination centers (ie, public schools) that we should pick our sources of information carefully, and then we were given a short list of "reliable" sources, including the daily news, because presumably they only provide verifiable facts. The video above demonstrates just one instance where multiple newscasters, from multiple well-known news agencies including CBS, FOX, and ABC, simply parrot a script that has been provided to them, complete with fill-in-the-blanks for the names of their local communities. (Please watch the video now, if you haven't already.) This sometimes takes the form of catch-phrases, as well, such as "data-driven approach," carefully-chosen for its allusion to, and illusion of, being fact-led. Here, for example, is a screenshot from a recent email from the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma: [choctaw-screenshot.jpg] Sound familiar? A quick internet search reveals that identical phraseology is being used by governors and others across the country. This raises eyebrows, but is, of course, not definitive proof of anything. For now, we'll take it as evidence of possible collusion. Part of the problem, as we questioned earlier, is just what this "data" is that is driving the governor's approach. Since this all began with UN data, they seem like logical suspects. Is there a connection? Indeed, there is. ICLEI is "a global network of more than 1,750 local and regional governments committed to sustainable urban development." They take, as their sole influence, United Nations goals and guidelines. Constitutional? Not on your life. Treason? Absolutely, if Americans were to participate. Are they? Well, the official site for the United States used to publish a list of who their members were. They removed this list on July 3, 2017, after a public backlash when citizens discovered that their community leaders were leading them down the path to socialism and global governance. Today, they list only the communities. This list includes Boise and Moscow. Since it is obvious that the "pandemic" is false (see the many links and videos here), why keep up false pretenses? The answer to that question becomes obvious when you look at what it is being used to justify: increased surveillance (including drones, robotic dogs *, snitching on neighbors, and cellphone tracking), mandatory vaccination (also here), the shutdown of churches, fewer people driving their automobiles, and more. Oh, and let's not forget the opportunity to implement a long-lusted-after biometric database, which has already been implemented in other countries, like India, made drastically easier with a simple cotton swab up the nose. That mandatory vaccination article is super important! Go back and read it! That list just happens to also outline some of the things the United Nations have been attempting to put in place globally. Their stated intention, in fact, was to have had these goals in place by the year 2000, which obviously didn't happen. A new boogeyman was needed, one that would allow their minions an excuse to bypass the objections of those they were elected to represent. They found it. Zak Doffman, cybersecurity contributor for Forbes, put it this way: “As I reported last week, as the tracking landscape in Europe and the U.S. began to change: “Everything about coronavirus is unprecedented. Our leaders talk about “the invisible enemy” and being on a war footing. The technology at their disposal will create a huge conflict within each of us. We want our governments to do all they can, but at some point we will make privacy compromises as never before.”” We know this smacks of "conspiracy theory," but they said they would do these things, and now they are doing them. This is no longer a theory. It is reality. FOOTNOTES: * "But those robotic dogs are in Singapore, not America!" you might argue. True, but you paid for them. They were created by Boston Dynamics, which is funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which belongs to the Department of Defense, which gets its funds from your taxes. Seem a little odd?
The Pandemic Treaty Under the World Health Organization (WHO)
We have pointed out before that the United Nations is the de facto world government! People keep talking about the New World Order as though it is yet to come, but it is already here! This treaty would be binding on citizens of the United States, without a vote, and violation would be "justifiable cause" for deployment of UN troops.
UN Goals Unveiled: Building Inclusive Communities Through Education
The United Nations will be holding a conference in Utah at the end of this month, with a variety of what they call "Thematic Sessions" to be held. These are meetings designed to promote the UN's goals, each one focused around a specific theme, but also intertwined with other UN goals, as you will see. There is also a strong focus on youth for this conference, and the reason for that will also become apparent. The first we will be addressing is entitled, "Building Inclusive Communities Through Education." Here is the official description, taken from their website: “"The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) call for ensuring equal access for all women and men to affordable and quality technical, vocational and tertiary education, including university. Rapid technological changes present opportunities and challenges, but the learning environment, the capacities of teachers and the quality of education have in many parts of the world not kept pace, and in others still need to catch up. New models in higher education are emerging as lawmakers and higher education professionals look for ways to address declining enrollment numbers, lack of diversity and skyrocketing tuition, as well as knowledge gaps in today’s rapidly evolving global workforce. Access for all to a quality education and learning opportunities – starting with children - will play a central role in increasing the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills, for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship to meet today’s global and local challenges."” The UN's language is always loaded with meaning and hidden context that is intended to go over the head of the casual listener or reader. One of the most basic underlying principles we see in language from the United Nations is the promotion of Socialism, which is present here in the very first sentence. Notice the keywords "equal access" and "all men and women." These are fun buzzwords right now that appeal to the desire to be "fair" and promote "equality." But how would this be possible without forcing those who "have" to pay for those who "have not"? Who gets to define those terms? How would it be enforced? As the UN has focused its goals on the entire world, only a world government could provide the necessary enforcement. How do we know that world collectivism is the goal of the UN? For starters, most of the countries in the UN have some form of Socialist government, which shows that this is the mindset they hold. They would not want for the world anything different than what they already provide for their own people. The UN also already has in place several schemes to redistribute the wealth of the world from so-called "wealthy" nations to those with less. The redistribution of wealth is a hallmark of Socialism, the goal being that all people are equal in poverty, with the government in control of the wealth and resources. Think Venezuela, China, North Korea, the Soviet Union, Cuba. Sound fun? In contrast, the equality of all mankind declared under the Constitution is that each one is born with a clean slate, able to make of his life what he will. Not an equality of things, but an equality of promise to be shaped by a person's choices. Are some nations more prosperous than others? Absolutely, and the current modus operandi is to try to make other nations feel guilty for their own successes, as if it were their fault somehow. Yet, those circumstances, in most cases, came about as a natural result of the choices of the people. No one holds responsibility for their choices but themselves. Of course, we can voluntarily provide assistance, as many do. There are doctors and dentists who provide free services. There are people inventing new ways to drill wells, grow crops more effectively, etc. Missionaries teaching English, and helping in myriad other ways. All of these people working of their own accord, providing helpful service by choice, with no threat of government violence required. A few of the UN's other overarching themes are also present here. We see the assertion that "declining enrollment numbers" at "higher education" institutions (ie, colleges) is somehow a threat that must be addressed. What are these people doing instead? Staying home and watching TV? Perhaps a few, but the rest are learning trades, writing books, getting degrees in Computer Science or programming, teaching dance, making neon signs, and a whole host of other things that can be done elsewhere. College is not the only option. We must also ask ourselves why people would be opting to avoid college. Could it be that there are so many other options that don't require one to start adult life tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt? Could it be that colleges have turned into horrendous indoctrination centers where students can get degrees in things like porn? Where Conservatism and religion are no longer welcome? Where free speech is proclaimed, and simultaneously denied? Could it be that the best students no longer are able to even get into many colleges due to ridiculous "diversity" policies that favor non-academic qualities, such as skin color or sexuality? On that note, you will notice that "lack of diversity" is thrown in there with all these other "atrocities," as though it is something of importance. This is done for several reasons. One is that the UN is anti-Christian. The deliberate promotion of diversity of sexuality, and the promotion of non-Christian religions, while at the same time declaring war on monogamy and Christianity, sends a clear signal. We must remember, however, that when all things are "true," nothing is true. And that is the point. Championing diversity also creates victims out of those in smaller groups, who clamor to government for "protection," and the government is all too happy to take away everyone's rights and freedoms in order to do so. This is at the core of the UN's "inclusive communities." Remember when you were free to choose who you associated with? Now, you'd better bake the cake, rent your house, and install a ramp of a certain length, size, color, and slope, or the government will step on your neck, steal your property, or imprison you, all in the name of diversity. There are UN goals to usurp your freedoms in the name of every so-called "marginalized" group that exists. The drive-by phrase "knowledge gaps in today’s rapidly evolving global workforce" suggests that there is a group of overseers looking to take your children and plug them into a prefabricated system, like so many cogs. Some places here in the United States, like California, have already embraced this system, and have implemented government-business partnerships that craft a child's education to meet the specific projected needs of their workforce. Is this what people send their children to school for? If they called each graduating class by its intended purpose, would they feel any different? "We'd like to congratulate the Boeing assembly line class of 2019!" This is the UN's goal for your children. The importance of public education in Socialist systems cannot be denied. It is even a plank of the Communist Manifesto. When the government chooses which kids learn, what they learn, and how they learn, what else is left? Can it be said that a free thought ever crossed a child's mind in such a system? This system not only tells kids how to think, it tells them what to think. "We've always been at war with Eastasia." Haven't we? Hardcore Socialists have always sought to remove all threats to the state, any who might challenge their authority, and this has historically pinpointed religion and the family as the foremost threats. The UN call for "a quality education and learning opportunities – starting with children" nicely frames their desire to remove children from their homes and put them into government schools where they can be indoctrinated. The push is to get kids out of the home as early as possible. This is already happening here in America, with preschools and even pre-preschools opening all over. The UN also has an ongoing agenda to set children up as adversaries against their parents and other adults, by telling them that it is unfair for adults to run things, for adults to get all the jobs, for only adults to vote. Why is this a priority for the UN? Remember when, during the 60's, the mantra of the Communists was "Don't trust anyone over 30"? Youth are ignorant and impressionable. Not ignorant as in stupid, but as in miseducated and inexperienced. They can be emotionally manipulated easily. They are, in actual Communist terminology, "useful idiots" who will work hard to bring about their own downfall, all the while thinking they are doing the world a service. A young man I know, just out of high school, actually posted on Facebook not long ago that "[he] would die for Agenda 21!" Mission accomplished. As you read the subject matter tags the UN was so good to include with this description, see if you can pair the phrases with their descriptions above: “"Join this session if you are interested in: the role of universities, communities and vocational institutes; continuing education; children in urban settings; access for marginalized students and communities; opportunities for youth; education in vulnerable settings; gender; technology for education."” We don't have the time or space to touch on everything in this short blurb, but we hope this was enough to get you thinking. Everything about the UN, from its agendas to its existence, is anti-American and unConstitutional! Instead of turning our children over to unaccountable globalists, why don't we teach them what is in the Constitution… and then go back to following it!
Trusting the Experts
We live in a culture that is constantly told that they should just trust the "experts." In some parts of Idaho, this is adhered to very strongly. There are actually a great many things wrong with this attitude, particularly when it comes to medicine [1], but still it is pervasive in some parts. We want to believe that doctors never make business decisions when it comes to our health, but this is naive. We want to think that those in the medical profession are just kind, friend people who want to heal people. Granted, there are some who feel this way, but there are a great many doctors, and they run the spectrum where these things are concerned. Medical school isn't free, after all, nor are vacations. Even where good doctors are concerned, however, there are problems. One of these is, interestingly, the same problem that the public tends to have: a belief that those above them know what is right and shouldn't be questioned. In our current situation, there is a chain of information/direction that looks like this: The United Nations directs the World Health Organization, which directs the CDC, which directs state health departments, which direct regional health departments, which direct local health officials, who are responsible for implementation. If you trust the UN, this might not bother you. But if you understand that there are serious reasons to take what they say with skepticism, this chain is very disconcerting. Take, for instance, Event 201 [3]. This was an event, held in October of 2019, where leaders and representatives from around the world got together to war-game what would happen if there were a global outbreak of a new coronavirus. Months before there actually was a new global coronavirus outbreak, or so we're told. What an amazing coincidence! Yet another coincidence is that this "pandemic" has presented exactly the opportunity long ought after by groups like the World Economic Forum to implement what they refer to as "The Great Reset", which they see as an "opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world," according to Klaus Schwab, the WEF's founder. This is why you keep hearing about the "new normal." They have no intention of letting things go back to the real normal. “"By Schwab’s own admission, the world must “act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies” — in short, he says, ever [sic] industry must “be transformed… we need a ‘Great Reset’ of capitalism.”" [2]” “"As the WEF puts it of the coming technocracy that would rule our lives: “Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better.”" [2]” All of these things tie directly back to the United Nations Agenda 21/2030. Defending Idaho has reported on the goals of Agenda 21/2030, and we refer you to our website for those. In short, these are all evil goals couched in nice-sounding phraseology. We must all stop blindly following and start thinking critically! "Experts" are people, and people have agendas. "There is no class of evidence to be received with greater suspicion than that of the so-called expert." [4] I'm No Expert At this point, some might be wondering who they are to question those who claim to be experts. I will tell you who you are: you are the one who will suffer the consequences of whatever they implement! You have your own brain, and you were meant to use it. And you have access to the greatest expert of all – God – who will gladly guide you as you navigate conflicting information. Most importantly, you must listen to all sides of an argument. Contrary to popular memes, science is NEVER settled! Science is, literally, "a study of a subject," and it is ever-evolving. We look back with horror on the practices of days gone by (Opium for headaches? Cigarettes for your lungs?), but somehow fail to realize that those people were following the recommendation of their doctors and experts, too. In a hundred years, what will society think of today's best practices, if there still is a society? What will the "science" say then? I have been known to say that "science is today's best guesses waiting to be proven false." Whether you like it or not, this is historically accurate. But we like to think of ourselves as above all that. OUR science is too good for all that. We have "evolved" to a safe place, where things like peer reviews and double-blind studies protect us from fraud and quackery. I wish that were true. Researcher James Corbett has produced an excellent, well-documented, documentary, entitled "The Crisis of Science," that exposes the flaws – serious, serious flaws! – in today's methodologies, as discussed among scientists themselves, in their own literature, conveniently removed from the public eye. I highly recommend you watch it. [5] Just Listen We are being told that we shouldn't listen to the "other guys," that they're the cause of all our problems. We are being led to divide into factions, constantly at odds with one another. This is wrong, and it is patently un-American. Just as we have been seeing people and groups purged from sites and services like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, so have these enormous organizations been controlling the free flow of information in other ways. Google, for instance, has long buried certain topics so far down into search results that no one will ever find them. Whistleblowers whose messages conflict with the prevailing narrative are quickly removed from public platforms before they can be seen. Truly, we live in Orwell's 1984, where this was known as "memory-holing." Media giant CNN admitted that some of these whistleblowers had been scrubbed from the main social media sites, but was quick to label them spreaders of "false coronavirus claims," so you wouldn't be concerned. [6] You weren't supposed to ask yourself why doctors would risk their livelihoods, not to mention their medical licenses, to spread "false claims." Or. what about The Great Barrington Declaration? [7] Have you even heard of it? You should have! But it's been either ignored or slandered by mainstream media publications, so you won't pay any attention to it. Why on earth would the public want to hear from "infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists [who] have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies"? What DO we get? Shut out of public meetings, where hospital administrators are admitted and allowed to give an air of legitimacy to mask mandates that we are being railroaded with. Are you not alarmed by that? I could go on, as there are many, many, other doctors and experts who disagree with the prevailing narrative. But I won't. I just hope that this has given you a sense of the urgency in our current situation, and that, going forward, you will not just blindly accept what any so-called "experts" say in regards to this "pandemic." There is a lot of reason to be skeptical, if not at least very cautious.

Lies, Big Lies, and COVID-19
Even though we are now several months into this whole Coronavirus/COVID-19 experience, it is still difficult to know what the truth is. About the virus itself, the response to the virus, future treatment options. While some things are still up in the air, there are several things we can be certain about, and they are discussed below. These are articles you probably have not seen before, and much of the information will be new to you. Please read them. They come from many different places, from mainstream news sources to the blogs of scientists. The main points are these, in no particular order: 1. The various responses to the Coronavirus all serve the agenda of the United Nations, of which the World Health organization (WHO) is a part. 2. These responses all serve to remove our freedoms and increase the surveillance state. 3. The testing and classification of who "has" COVID-19 is an unscientific farce. We have arbitrarily chosen to list these articles in chronological order. Each article is accompanied by our commentary, usually with a relevant quote from the article itself. We hope that the following will help you understand why so many people are a) refusing to wear a mask, and b) concerned about where this is all leading! Smartphone data reveal which Americans are social distancing (and not) March 24, 2020 https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/03/24/social-distancing-maps-cellphone-location/ “If you have a smartphone, you’re probably contributing to a massive coronavirus surveillance system.” Interestingly, the Washington Post pointed out from the very beginning how this incident was immediately being used to thrust us all into the deep surveillance state. This was months before Apple and Google secretly installed contact tracing apps on our smartphones. Oh wait, it was just a "framework" for said apps to work? That's much better. 'Heartbreaking': Moms could be separated from their newborns under coronavirus guidelines March 26, 2020 https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2020/03/26/pregnant-women-covid-19-could-separated-babies-birth/2907751001/ People said this would never happen. Guess what? It did. More than once. Here are some screenshots we received from People's Rights on June 10th: [1-People's Rights Text 01.jpg] The recipients responded immediately, and this follow-up text was sent about 3 hours later: [2-People's Rights Text 02.jpg] After about 5 hours total, the situation came to a positive conclusion: [3-People's Rights Text 03.jpg] Those parents were lucky enough to have a connection to the People's Rights group. Others are at least being threatened. The following was posted on Facebook within the past week: [4-St Luke's FB Msg.jpg] While the first story, with the text messages, above, had to do with a hospital in Washington State, this is in reference to St. Luke's Hospital, here in Boise, Idaho. COVID-19 Phone Location Tracking: Yes, It’s Happening Now—Here’s What You Should Know March 27, 2020 https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2020/03/27/covid-19-phone-location-tracking-its-moving-fast-this-is-whats-happening-now/ “ [T]here was an acknowledgement of this darker data mining in comments made by Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu on march 14. “All means will be used to fight the spread of the coronavirus,” he said, before referencing the use of the country’s counter-terror tech. “that until today I have refrained from using among the civilian population.”” Counter-terror technology will be used against the public… to fight coronavirus? That doesn't sound dystopian in any way, whatsoever, does it? PLEASE NOTE: We consider the following article to be the most important article on this page! If you do not read anything else, read this! Was the COVID-19 Test Meant to Detect a Virus? April 8, 2020 https://uncoverdc.com/2020/04/07/was-the-covid-19-test-meant-to-detect-a-virus/ We include here a collection of especially poignant statements from this article, but sincerely urge you to read it in its entirety! We apologize in advance for some of the language. ““What do we mean when we say a person “tests positive” for Covid-19? We don’t actually mean they have been found to “have” it. We’ve been hijacked by our technologies, but left illiterate about what they actually mean. In this case, I am in the rare position of having known, spent time with, and interviewed the inventor of the method used in the presently available Covid-19 tests, which is called PCR, (Polymerase Chain Reaction.)”” Note that PCR is the primary means of testing for coronavirus in use today. ““The number of “cases” is often a very big number, back-lit in red. Today for example, the number of “total cases,” in the US, according to Worldometer, is 309,728. The total death figure is 8,441. “Active cases,” is 286,546, of which 8,206 are “Serious, Critical.” The number of “new deaths” is 1,037, and the number of “total recovered” is 14,741. I’m not clear what an “active” case is. Does that mean fully symptomatic? Partially symptomatic? If the latter, it surely encompasses influenza/pneumonia, which has magically, as many have observed, dropped off a cliff for 2020.”” We often forget that definitions matter! Everyone keeps talking about "cases," and "spikes," without ever defining what they mean. In this situation, even the subtle nuances have vast consequences! ““Austrian MD Christian Fiala [wrote:] “during the first weeks most tests were done on sick people. Therefore, the percentage of positive tests was relatively high. But there are not so many sick people and with the general roll out of tests, the vast majority of those tested will be healthy. Consequently, the percentage of positive tests will be low, and most will be false positive. In other words, it is impossible to continue the increase of positive test results.”” Catch that? You probably need to read it again. “““You have to have a whopping amount of any organism to cause symptoms. Huge amounts of it,” Dr. David Rasnick, bio-chemist, protease developer, and former founder of an EM lab called Viral Forensics told me. “You don’t start with testing; you start with listening to the lungs. I’m skeptical that a PRC test is ever true. It’s a great scientific research tool. It’s a horrible tool for clinical medicine. 30% of your infected cells have been killed before you show symptoms. By the time you show symptoms…the dead cells are generating the symptoms.”” "I’m skeptical that a PRC test is ever true." Yes, he actually said that, and yes, that is, as we said earlier, the primary test being used for coronavirus today! “I asked Dr. Rasnick what advice he has for people who want to be tested for COVID-19. “Don’t do it, I say, when people ask me,” he replies. “No healthy person should be tested. It means nothing but it can destroy your life, make you absolutely miserable.”” To be clear, the PRC test was not meant to be used for its current task. Its results are extremely unreliable for this purpose. “… “Every time somebody takes a swab, a tissue sample of their DNA, it goes into a government database. It’s to track us,” says David Rasnick. “They’re not just looking for the virus. Please put that in your article.””” We had privately surmised that this might be the case, so we felt it important to include a scientist's comments on the matter. ““Yes, you read that right. Labs can manipulate how many 'cases’ of Covid-19 their country has.”” You'll have to read the article for the technical explanation of how this works, but it is apparently quite simple. “““There was a famous Chinese paper that estimated that if you’re testing asymptomatic people, up to 80% of positives could be false positive. That was kind of shocking, so shocking that PubMed had to withdraw the abstract even though the Chinese paper appears to still be published and available. I actually have a translation with a friend. I translated it into English and it’s a really, standard calculation of what they call positive predictive value. The abstract basically said that in asymptomatic populations, the chance of a positive coronavirus test being a true positive is only about 20%. 80% will be false positive.” “Doesn’t that mean the test means nothing?” I asked. “The Chinese analysis was a mathematical analysis, a standard, the standard analysis that’s been done a million times before. There’s no reason to withdraw the paper for any reason. There’s nothing dramatic about the paper. It’s a really boring analysis. It’s just that they did the standard analysis and said, in some populations, like they estimated 1% of people are actually infected in the population. You could have 80% false positive. Uh, they couldn’t do a real analysis of false positives in terms of determining whether a test is correct or not because that requires a gold standard and the only gold standard is purification of the virus. So, we get back to the fact that the virus is not being purified. If you could purify the virus, then you could take a hundred people who tested positive and you could search for the virus in them. And if you found the virus in 50 out of a hundred and not in the other 50, you could say that the test is only accurate 50% of the time. But we have no way to do that because we haven’t yet purified the virus. And I don’t think we ever will.””” "[W]e haven’t yet purified the virus." According to the article, this means that no one has actually isolated it yet, to pinpoint what it is exactly, and what gives it its own specific identity. Yep. ““Crowe described a case in the literature of a woman who had been in contact with a suspect case of Corona (in Wuhan) they believed was the index case. “She was important to the supposed chain of infection because of this. They tested her 18 times, different parts of the body, like nose, throat—different PCR tests. 18 different tests. And she tested negative every time. And then they—because of her epidemiological connection with the other cases, they said: “We consider her infected. So, they had 18 negative tests and they said she was infected.” “Now why was she important? Well there was only one other person who could have theoretically transmitted the virus if the original patient, outside the family was who they thought it was. But secondly, she had the same exact symptoms as everybody else. Right? So, four people in his family came down with fever and cough and headaches, fatigue and all these kinds of big symptoms. So, if she could get those symptoms without the virus, then you, you’ve got to say, well, why couldn’t everybody else’s symptoms be explained by whatever she had? I mean, maybe they, they ate some bad seafood or something and so they all got sick, but it had nothing to do with the coronavirus.”” So, it goes something like this: "Um, boss? 18 tests and no dice. What do we do?" "Well, without her the whole thing falls apart." "So…" "She's positive, of course! Lock her up!" ““Another interesting thing is that they did a lot of tests. The first person in the list of people tested, he was positive on three out of 11 tests. So again, they took nose and throat samples and you know, different methods and all this kind of stuff. And they got 11 separate tests and only three were positive. And of course, all you need to be considered infected is one positive test. They could test you 20 times and if you test positive once, then you’re infected. So, a positive test is meaningful. A negative test. It’s like, eh. Not so much.”” What kind of test comes back positive 3 out of 11 times? And what kind of doctor/scientists relies on such sketchy tests?!? US: Hospitals Get Paid $13K to List Patients as COVID-19 and $39K to Put Them on a Ventilator April 9, 2020 https://needtoknow.news/2020/04/us-hospitals-get-paid-13k-to-list-patients-as-covid-19-and-39k-to-put-them-on-a-ventilator “Republican state senator Scott Jensen, who is also a medical doctor, says the AMA is encouraging doctors to over-count coronavirus deaths. He revealed that “Medicare is determining that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital you get $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator you get $39,000, three times as much.” Several days ago, he told local media he received a directive from the Minnesota Department of Health to list COVID-19 as the cause of death on death certificates even if patients were never tested for it. –G. Edward Griffin” This one is well-known by now, but we think it is entirely undervalued! Hospitals are businesses! This is a major conflict of interests! James Corbett also mentioned recently that putting someone on a ventilator is a serious medical intervention, and that, on a regular day, something on the order of 40% of people put on them die! But, oh, that was coronavirus. Governors of 10 States Will Require ‘Contact Tracing’ to Reopen April 15, 2020 https://needtoknow.news/2020/05/governors-of-10-states-will-require-contact-tracing-to-reopen If you look at the date, you will notice that this was already the language back when we were roughly a month into this whole debacle! It's almost as if it was previously decided. Dr. Ngozi Ezike | How COVID Deaths are Classified April 27, 2020 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw9Ci2PZKZg&feature=youtu.be “Everyone who is listed as a COVID death, doesn’t mean that was the cause of death, but that they had COVID at the time of death.” This is another one of those things most people (should) know about by now, but again is super important, as it means that the numbers being reported as "COVID deaths" are really, really not that. This also represents another conflict of interests, as there is big money for hospitals for reporting COVID deaths (this is discussed below). Gov. Little plans to distribute $300 million in cash grants to small businesses as state enters Stage 1 of reopening April 30, 2020 https://gov.idaho.gov/pressrelease/gov-little-plans-to-distribute-300-million-in-cash-grants-to-small-businesses-as-state-enters-stage-1-of-reopening/ Our "conservative" governor, here in Idaho, made sure to declare us to be in a state of "extreme emergency" right from the start, when we had exactly zero deaths, and only a small number of "cases". This assured him approximately $1.3 BILLION in federal funds. Declare non-existent pandemic. Check. Get loads of "free money." Check. Hooray for "redistributing the wealth!" New York Funeral Directors Say COVID-19 Deaths are Greatly Exaggerated April 30, 2020 https://needtoknow.news/2020/05/new-york-funeral-directors-say-covid-19-deaths-are-greatly-exaggerated/ “James O’Keefe of Project Veritas spoke to several funeral directors in New York who say the number of reported COVID-19 death is greatly exaggerated and that no one is testing. Funeral director Michael Lanza said that it was his opinion that NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio is looking for federal funding and, the more COVID death certificate they can create, the more federal funds they receive.” -G. Edward Griffin” It is more than appropriate that this article follows the one above. The Farce and Diabolical Agenda of A “Universal Lockdown” May 1, 2020 https://www.globalresearch.ca/covid-19-cruelty-universal-lockdown/5710798 “On January 30, WHO declared COVID-19 a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). At that time, there were only 150 known COVID-19 cases outside of China. No reason whatsoever to declare a pandemic.” Golly gee, it's almost like this was just an excuse for a planned incident…! Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Suggests People Who Promote Gatherings On Social Media Will Face Legal Action May 3, 2020 https://www.dailywire.com/news/chicago-mayor-lori-lightfoot-suggests-people-who-promote-gatherings-on-social-media-will-face-legal-action “So, that means if you host a party, if you promote a party, if you go to a party, we’re not playing games, we mean business and we are going to shut this down one way or the other,” Lightfoot continued. “The time for educating people into compliance is over, don’t be stupid don’t come out, don’t advertise on social media, we’re watching you and we are going to take decisive action.”” This woman is an utter fool, as demonstrated by her recently recorded comments about wanting to hire city employees who pledge allegiance to the New World Order, but note the theme here: Stop thinking for yourselves! Big Brother knows what's best for you! Not only surveillance state, but promoting the police state, as well. * Fact-checking sites claim that the mayor's comments were somehow altered or taken out of context. We think the linked video makes it pretty clear that this is untrue. Tanzania suspends laboratory head after president questions coronavirus tests May 4, 2020 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-tanzania/tanzania-suspends-laboratory-head-after-president-questions-coronavirus-tests-idUSKBN22G295 “Tanzania has suspended the head of its national health laboratory in charge of testing for the coronavirus and ordered an investigation, a day after President John Magufuli questioned the tests’ accuracy. Magufuli said on Sunday the imported test kits were faulty as they had returned positive results on a goat and a pawpaw — among several non-human samples submitted for testing, with technicians left deliberately unaware of their origins.” Oopsies. Well, that doesn't inspire trust in those tests, now, does it? Fever-detecting Drones and Other Intrusive Practices Grow Under COVID-19 May 4, 2020 https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/35634-fever-detecting-drones-and-other-intrusive-practices-grow-under-covid-19 “Fever-reading drones, thermal cameras, and other coronavirus policies are part of “a looming wave of intrusive technology and constitutionally questionable measures pushed by governments — from local to state to federal — under the mission of protecting a fearful community,”” Notice how fear-mongering plays into this. If they can keep you afraid, you won't fight them when they take away your freedoms. Whistleblower: CBS News Staged Fake COVID-19 Testing Line In Michigan May 6, 2020 https://needtoknow.news/2020/05/whistleblower-cbs-news-staged-fake-covid-19-testing-line-in-michigan “An insider came forward to Project Veritas with hidden camera recordings revealing how CBS News organized a fake coronavirus testing line at the Cherry Health facility in Grand Rapids, and used “fake patients” recruited from the medical staff to make the CBS news report look authentic. CBS denied staging the event and removed the Cherry Health portion from the piece.” -G. Edward Griffin” This was back when all the talk was still about "flattening the curve" (ie, keeping the hospitals from being overwhelmed with sick and dying), and all the mainstream media outlets were talking about huge lines for testing. All the while, emergency tents were being taken down because they never saw a single person. ’60 Minutes’ Exposes 1976 Swine Flu Hoax & Mass Vaccine Injuries That Followed May 7, 2020 https://needtoknow.news/2020/05/60-minutes-exposes-1976-swine-flu-hoax-mass-vaccine-injuries-that-followed/ “In 1976, the US government declared that everyone should take a vaccine to stop a national pandemic from the Swine flu. At that time, the US had a population of 218-million people, and 46-million took the vaccine. Four-thousand were injured by the vaccine and filed lawsuits for-$3.5 billion. Most of the claims were for neurological damage and death. According to 60 Minutes, the vaccine was never even tested, although the media propaganda proclaimed that it was safe and effective – and necessary to prevent the spread of a pandemic that never was.” -G. Edward Griffin” Sound familiar? We wonder why so many people are publicly declaring their opposition to this exact same scenario? It's almost like they don't want to repeat history, or something.

For a "pandemic" that still does not exist. CDC acknowledges mixing up coronavirus testing data May 21, 2020 https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/499085-cdc-acknowledges-mixing-up-coronavirus-testing-data What? The "professionals" at the CDC mixed up some unrelated and completely different data, and reported it as one number? That's hard to believe! (Note: We don't.) Also, other professionals also find it hard to believe, as evidenced by the quotes in the next article: ‘How Could the CDC Make That Mistake?’ May 21, 2020 https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/05/cdc-and-states-are-misreporting-covid-19-test-data-pennsylvania-georgia-texas/611935/ “The government’s disease-fighting agency is conflating viral and antibody tests, compromising a few crucial metrics that governors depend on to reopen their economies.” Remember that article with a ton of quotes, above?

(2) A new report featured prominently in Nature purports to show that lockdowns have stemmed the spread of the virus and have saved lives.

The New "Normal"
The astute have long been warning that we are heading into a future marred by a "social credit" system. The details are unknown to most Americans, but they are there, nonetheless, and the COVID "pandemic" has intentionally thrust us headlong into this system. How, you ask? Read on. In his August 2021 article, entitled "American Federation of Teachers Sells Out to Rockefellers, Trilateralists, and Big Tech," investigative journalist John Klyczek lays out in great detail how the government-run public education system works hand-in-hand with Big Tech, psychologists, and corporations, to manipulate, track, and data-mine American children. He asks, “Why would the American Federation of Teachers go against “following the science” by lobbying the CDC to backpedal its relaxation of school health and safety protocols? Why would the AFT defy CDC experts by opposing school re-openings in favor of extending COVID restrictions that prop open the floodgates for the ed-tech industry to advance its privatization of public education through “remote” e-learning contracts? Why do this when mainstream medical journals, such as the Lancet, have published data which finds that “[c]hildren and young people remain at low risk of COVID-19 mortality”? What is the point when there is mounting evidence that in-person schoolhouse learning does not result in rising community transmission rates of COVID-19? [1]” From the outside, these questions are puzzling. Shouldn't one of the nation's largest teacher's unions be advocating for a return to schools? As is often the case, those positioning themselves as "advocates" are… not. Klyzcek continues: “To be sure, the AFT states that health and safety priorities are their motivating factors for doubling down on COVID mitigation policies, which effectively necessitate remote online schooling. Nevertheless, a close look at the history of the AFT reveals that it has a long track record of selling out its dues-paying teachers to the global ed-tech industrial complex by cutting side deals with Big Tech companies, such as IBM and Microsoft; corporate philanthropies, including the Rockefeller Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation; and world governance institutions, like the Trilateral Commission and the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). In light of these past dealings with corporatists, globalists, and technocrats, it appears that the AFT may have ulterior motives to stall the full return to in-person learning in order to wedge schools into contracting with the union’s ed-tech cronies, such as IBM and Microsoft, which are driving “Reimagine Education” campaigns along with UNESCO to spur the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset” for the “Fourth Industrial Revolution.” By pressing the CDC to drag out COVID constraints that relegate education systems to “distance” and “hybrid,” or “blended,” combinations of virtual-online instruction, the AFT has essentially been lobbying to hitch schools to multinational ed-tech cartels which aim to data-mine students’ psychometrics for workforce “competence” in the global “Social Credit” economy of the “surveillance capitalist” Fourth Industrial Revolution.” In other words, this large and powerful organization – in concert with the other major teacher's union, the National Education Association (NEA) [2] – has for decades been setting the stage for globalists to control education through technological means, with the actual end-goal being a sort of "social credit" system. With 2020 behind us, and the fake coronavirus pandemic, we have already seen the power of social manipulation. The forthcoming "vaccine passports" are, in fact, the emerging head of this "social credit" system, a means to control the actions of mankind by mandating compliance – or be removed from society. No vax, no job! [3] No vax, no movies! [4] No vax, no food! [5] No government benefits without the vax! [6] Be a good citizen! [7] Follow your leaders! [8] Follow your rock stars! [9] Follow your movie stars! [10] We'll give you extra privileges! [11] If you don't, we'll make life hard [12], take away your freedoms [13], limit your internet access [14], and/or incarcerate you [15]. This is what a "social credit" system looks like. If you want to do anything, you'd better get in compliance! But is this really a "social credit" system"? They're not keeping score, like the Chinese, right? Let's take a look. At the 2019 Brazilian Symposium of Games, professors Livia Topper Press and Alessandro Vieira Dos Reis presented "Sesame Credit and the Social Compliance Gamification in China," in which they state the following: “Sesame Credit is the most important gamified Chinese social credit model. It aims at monitoring and regulating the behavior of more than a billion citizens… Basing itself on the distribution of rewards and punishments to individuals, upon scoring based on the compliance of the aforementioned citizens towards laws and government interests. [20]” Drew Donnelly, PhD, had the following to say in his own article on Sesame Credit: “The consequences of a poor social credit score could be serious. It may affect travel prospects, employment, access to finance, and the ability to enter into contracts. On the other hand, a positive credit score could make a range of business transactions for individuals and corporations much easier. [21]” Dr. Donnelly also points out that there is also an "implementation of the system for corporations, known as the ‘corporate social credit rating’," to make the control grid complete. Website The Artifice, in their article, also point out that: “…Alibaba [the government-run Chinese equivalent of Amazon] used the data that they and their partners had collected in order to establish a credit score for these people and small businesses. Alibaba collected information on the spending habits of over 300 million people and over 37 million small businesses to accurately assess the credit scores that people should have. In this vein, Sesame Credit is very similar to any other credit services around the world, however there was one major difference. Sesame Credit doesn’t only take in credit information and spending habits, but also online behavioural patterns, personal characteristics (how long they have lived in a specific residence or their mobile phone information) and their personal relationships. It monitored who small companies were associated with and who people were friends with online through places like Tencent related social websites. With this information the scores of peoples’ Sesame Credit were affected by who they chose to interact with. [22]” The first comment by a reader on that 2016 article started out by saying, "You know, in a way, this Sesame Credit scoring system reminds me of the American educational system I grew up with." And that is our point. This has actually been going in America for many, many decades. Former educator Beverly Eakman used to speak and write about this, providing a lot of factual information to prove that it was/is happening. In July, 2008, she gave a presentation to the 9th Annual Freedom 21 Conference, in Dallas, Texas. [17] She discussed the increasing use of "psychographics" and other data-gathering employed by educational institutions, and pointed to a research paper that used "a list of liberal versus conservative books purchased through Amazon." “The question is troubling because The National Longitudinal Study from the National Center for Education Statistics, which is part of the Department of Education lasted from 1988-2000. The parental information from Amazon, matched against children’s current opinions on school surveys, can be powerful determinants of future political behavior, and technology is now to the point where I [sic] such information can follow kids from pre-school through college, on into the workplace…” She highlights how "testing" in public schools is actually psychological "profiling." But we ask again, to what end? “Today, hundreds of seemingly unrelated pieces of data that reveal political leanings and parental views are fed into a “predictive” computer algorithm… Once computerization became truly practical, marketing agencies started hiring statisticians with concurrent degrees in psychology. Marketing moguls have long known that the best predictor of what consumers might buy tomorrow was whatever they bought yesterday—your “purchase history.” In the late 1970s, political experts realized that the same could be said for what a person believes… All this brings up covert, pre-assigned ID coding, which government agencies swear doesn’t exist. So brace yourselves; this is where it starts getting really ugly, beginning with this website: • STUDENT UNIQUE INDENTIFIER (NDE Uniq ID) Steps to assigning Student Unique ID’s www.nde.ne.us.nssrs, updated January 2, 2008 Now, I picked a state at random, Nebraska, but it could have been just about any state—which means, this is a national initiative, with the state serving as the “fall guy.” The state education agency (that’s the state arm of the U.S. Dept. of Education) establishes the procedures and pretends to write its “own” training manuals for how to assign a unique identifying number to every student. All such “procedures” are written with a word or phrase changed here and there, or in a different order, and legislators and the press fall for it. In fact, all state procedures are virtually identical. Once the kid’s state- supplied ID number is in the bag, so to speak (in this case the Nebraska Department of Education’s “Uniqu-ID”), the state can transmit to the feds, or anywhere else, for that matter. The interesting thing about this is the Unique Student Number, assigned by the state, and the Social Security number, assigned by the feds, are going to be cross-matched—in ways that will make your jaw drop. ” She was able to access files that were later restricted, on the website she provided, and saved and printed many of them. What she discovered is that they track things like a student's religion (which is supposed to be off-limits), and that student are "micro-targeted" using different versions of assessment forms. “If you get a chance go to the Handbook of the National Center for Education Statistics at www.nces.ed.gov/programs/handbook.com. You will find proof of the predictive algorithms I discussed earlier, the formulas that will forecast your kids’ probable political behaviors based on the responses he or she provides on assessments and surveys… It doesn’t stop there. There is an incredibly detailed level of invasiveness, all automated, or required: every aspect of a child’s teeth and dental work, pre-natal observations of the mother, such as weight gain during pregnancy, gestational age of child at birth, and birth weight. In other words, Ladies, while you were at the hospital in labor, your government was laboring to circumvent the privacy laws. This tells you how much that HIPAA privacy “agreement” you have to sign every time you walk into a new doctor’s office or pick up a prescription at the pharmacy is worth. Can we say zero? I also found a copyright-protected, restricted-use longitudinal data file. This was evidence of surreptitious data-gathering via an “electronic codebook,” going back to birth and pre-school. The focus was social skills, rated by psychologists using a Social Rating Scale.” A what? Yes, a "Social Rating Scale." A "social credit" system, but a secret one that has been used against us, covertly, all our lives. [16] “The marriage of computerized data-collection and educational indoctrination continues to evolve, fulfilling the objectives of early leftists like Paul Popenoe, editor of old American Eugenics Society journal—and yes, that means just what you think it means—who wrote that “the educational system should be a sieve, through which all children are passed. It is very desirable,” he said, “that no child escape inspection.” The dots go back to education, folks. Young people have no idea how we got re-routed from the Founders’ original ideals. Most parents themselves couldn’t tell their kids how we got here—via movers and shakers like [list of names]. Hardly any school—public or private—covers these influential moguls. Yet, every one rejected traditional notions about right and wrong. Every one indicated that religious convictions are a sign of mental illness. Every one urged inspection of children and parents for signs of dogmatism, inflexibility and paranoia.” So, today we find ourselves falling into a trap of social coercion, where we must comply with ridiculous "vaccine" mandates or lose access to civilization. The fact is, however, they already knew which of us would resist because they have been tracking our beliefs, philosophies, and actions, all our lives, and storing it in the NSA's data centers, along with all of our communications. [18] It makes sense now why the US Post Office was recently deputized as watchers of our social media (publicly, at least; they've actually been monitoring us for decades). [23] “Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. In each of these cities, The Intercept has identified an AT&T facility containing networking equipment that transports large quantities of internet traffic across the United States and the world. A body of evidence – including classified NSA documents, public records, and interviews with several former AT&T employees – indicates that the buildings are central to an NSA spying initiative that has for years monitored billions of emails, phone calls, and online chats passing across U.S. territory.” Of course, that's without mentioning the roles of Google and Facebook, et al. [19] So, welcome to the "new normal." It's been a long time coming. UPDATE [2021-10-27]: “Once you support mandate for two doses, then you have to support for the booster, and then support 60 boosters, 199 boosters. It will be endless. And you’ll be tied into this [social] credit system you built. ~ Li-Meng Yan Vaccine Passports Will Usher in a Social Credit System Of course, the COVID shots and the vaccine passports also fit into the CCP agenda by making the whole world accept and adopt the CCP’s social control system. The vaccine passports are clearly designed to usher in a social credit system like they have in China. And with that, you get 24/7 digital surveillance and an unbelievable amount of control over every single person.” Read the full exposé here: Mercola: Chinese Defector Reveals COVID Origin [UPDATE 2021-11-01] “New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, when asked if New Zealand’s Covid policies will create a two-tiered society, with non-vaccinated citizens being denied rights, readily agreed with a smile and said, “that is what it is.” [24]” “Both the Senate and House versions of the Labor, Education, and Health and Human Services Appropriations bill remove the prohibition on the development of a “unique patient identifier.” The prohibition on funding for the unique patient identifier, which I [Ron Paul] sponsored, has been in place since 1998. The push to allow the government to force every American to obtain a unique patient identifier is being justified as a means to efficiently monitor Americans’ “contact and immunization” status. [25]” [UPDATE 2021-11-24] “…countries such as Israel and Austria are canceling “expired” vaccination cards and requiring citizens and visitors to receive booster shots to refresh their vaccination status so they can continue to live as part of society. [26]” “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has warned that the Covid restrictions being imposed worldwide are an attempt by the New World Order to destroy democracy as we know it. [27]” [UPDATE 2021-12-01] “A new Digital Drivers License is currently in the works in Utah and other states. The program lists items that can be tracked or added later, and includes vaccine records, financial reports credit scores, travel records, taxes, spending, voting, sex offeder [sic] status, dietary preferences, licenses and permits, background checks, rewards programs and social credit scoring. This is the Chinese model for totalitarianism. [28]” “Melissa Ciummei, a financial investor from Northern Ireland, explained that vaccine passports, also called health passes, serve no purpose in promoting health, but are instead a tool for control. She warned that children are targeted for the purpose of indoctrination for the future. A digital ID is necessary to bring in central bank digital currency (CBDC) for totalitarian control, and vaccine passports are necessary to bring in digital ID.

Canada Proposes Bill to Ban Suspected Intent to Commit “Hate Speech” Online
We thank God for the First Amendment, but our leaders are also working overtime to stifle free speech, and to track and categorize us accordingly. This is an end goal of the United Nations! No free thought. All information must be "official" information, truth be damned. True principles demand that people are free to be wrong! Otherwise how can we learn or grow? Everyone has been wrong at some point, even on major issues. Should we all be in jail? The globalists think so. They want a 1984 scenario, where everyone is afraid to speak anything but government-sanctioned snippets. Notice that this is targeting "suspected" "hate speech". Where else have we seen similar tactics, and how has that played out? Well, Child Protective Services comes to mind, and here in Idaho our legislators have declared that more that 80% of calls to CPS are fraudulent! Which doesn't matter, because "Won't somebody think of the children?!?" So, every claim is assumed to be true, and families are put through hell in the process. Again, that's the point. Government harassment that is intended to instill fear and drive unquestioning compliance.
British Protest 15-Minute Cities Where They Will Become Prisoners of the State
From the article: "To further seize control of people’s lives, Globalists are pushing the false idea that these “green” cities, which make services accessible to residents within 15 minutes of their homes, will “save the planet” and help all humanity. Instead, they are nothing more than a way for them to restrict, coerce, fine, punish, surveil, and limit the fundamental right of freedom of movement for residents. For example, residents are not allowed to leave your 15-minute city by car more than the allotted times a year. Otherwise, you will be fined. In addition, the government will track and control your every movement through your smartphones & facial recognition technology." You can see how the "COVID" set the stage for this level of tracking and control. Are we excited about the future yet?
Ugandan students fear being sodomized in school, says nation’s Deputy Speaker
Thankfully, many Africans have awakened to the fact that the United Nations is attempting to coerce them into murdering their own children, and they have been, so far, courageous enough to stand their ground. It is wonderful to see that someone still holds to the family as God's intended purpose for mankind.
Proper Government, Principle 1, An In-Depth Analysis
Principle One: ““NO PEOPLE CAN MAINTAIN FREEDOM UNLESS THEIR POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS ARE FOUNDED UPON FAITH IN GOD AND BELIEF IN THE EXISTENCE OF MORAL LAW.”” "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." You've read this quote from John Adams before, but have you read the complete letter from which it is taken? While the quote above does stand on its own quite well, the complete text gives further insight into what this Founding Father wanted us to know, and leads us into a discussion of this principle: Original text: “From John Adams to Massachusetts Militia, 11 October 1798 To the Officers of the first Brigade of the third Division of the Militia of Massachusetts Quincy October 11. 1798 Gentlemen I have received from Major General Hull and Brigadier General Walker your unanimous Address from Lexington, animated with a martial Spirit and expressed with a military Dignity, becoming your Characters and the memorable Plains, in which it was adopted. While our Country remains untainted with the Principles and manners, which are now producing desolation in so many Parts of the World: while the [sic; she?] continues Sincere and incapable of insidious and impious Policy: We shall have the Strongest Reason to rejoice in the local destination assigned Us by Providence. But should the People of America, once become capable of that deep simulation towards one another and towards foreign nations, which assumes the Language of Justice and moderation while it is practicing Iniquity and Extravagance; and displays in the most captivating manner the charming Pictures of Candour[,] frankness & sincerity while it is rioting in rapine and Insolence: this Country will be the most miserable Habitation in the World. Because We have no Government armed with Power capable of contending with human Passions unbridled by morality and Religion. Avarice, Ambition[,] Revenge or Galantry, would break the strongest Cords of our Constitution as a Whale goes through a Net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other[.] An Address so unanimous and firm from the officers commanding two thousand Eight hundred Men, consisting of such substantial Citizens as are able and willing at their own Expence, compleatly to arm, And cloath themselves in handsome Uniforms does honor to that Division of the Militia which has done so much honor to their Country. Oaths, in this Country, are as yet universally considered as Sacred Obligations. That which you have taken and so solemnly repeated on that venerable Spot is an ample Pledge of your sincerity, and devotion to your Country and its Government. John Adams (Source: archive.gov)” In order to better understand the language of Adams' day, let's define some terms. Some of them may seem familiar, but the meanings have changed over time, so we will consult Webster's 1828 Dictionary. Ambition “A desire of preferment, or of honor; a desire of excellence or superiority” [NOTE: Webster says this word is "used in a good sense", but it is obvious from context that this was not Adams' intention. Rather, he appears to have meant ambition similar to that of the Pharisees, who "love[d] the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues" (Matthew 23:6).] Avarice “An inordinate desire of gaining and possessing wealth; covetousness; greediness or insatiable desire of gain.” Candor “Openness of heart; frankness; ingenuousness of mind; a disposition to treat subjects with fairness; freedom from tricks or disguise; sincerity.” Desolation “destruction; ruin; waste” Extravagance “Excess of affection, passion or appetite… Excess in expenditures of property; the expending of money without necessity, or beyond what is reasonable or proper… In general, any excess or wandering from prescribed limits” Gallantry “Splendor of appearance… Vicious love or pretensions to love; civilities paid to females for the purpose of winning favors; hence, lewdness; debauchery.” Impious “Irreverent towards God; proceeding from or manifesting a contempt for the Supreme Being; tending to dishonor God or his laws, and bring them into contempt.” Iniquity “Injustice; unrighteousness” Insidious “deceitful; sly; treacherous” Insolence “Pride or haughtiness manifested in contemptuous and overbearing treatment of others; petulant contempt; impudence.” Martial “Pertaining to war” Militia “The militia of a country are the able bodied men organized into companies, regiments and brigades, with officers of all grades, and required by law to attend military exercises on certain days only, but at other times left to pursue their usual occupations.” Moderation “Restraint of violent passions or indulgence of appetite… Calmness of mind” Rapine “The act of plundering; the seizing and carrying away of things by force… Violence” Simulation “The act of feigning to be that which is not; the assumption of a deceitful appearance or character… the assuming of a false character… hypocrisy.” Venerable “Worthy of veneration or reverence; deserving of honor and respect” We also need to recall that the Battles of Lexington and Concord were fought in April 1775, and effectively started the Revolutionary War. Lexington and Concord are towns in Massachusetts. With a better understanding of the language and history, let's rewrite it in modern language: “Gentlemen, I received the letter Major General Hull and Brigadier General Walker sent me from Lexington, on your behalf. It was filled with an honorable military spirit that was truly representative of you, as well as Lexington, itself. While certain attitudes and policies are destroying other parts of the world, the United States remains untainted. Indeed, our country is sincere, and would not enact such deceitful, treacherous, and blasphemous policies. We should rejoice in the fact that God blessed us with such a country. But if our people ever become the same brand of hypocrites, lying to each other and to the foreign nations they interact with, pretending to practice justice and restraint while they are actually sinful, living in excess, and if they ever become prideful and thieving, this will become the worst place in the world to live. This is because no government has the power to stop their people when they are wicked and immoral. Greediness, power-seeking, revenge-seeking, and self-serving immorality, would destroy our Constitution, as a whale would destroy a net. Our Constitution will only work for us as long as our people have morals and serve God. It is useless otherwise. Your division of the Militia is honorably represented by such a firm, united, letter, from these officers who command 2800 of America's best citizens, who are willing and able to arm and handsomely uniform themselves at their own expense, and you do honor to your country. We still hold oaths sacred in this country. The oath you have taken to defend our country, and to which you have recommitted yourselves there in Lexington, truly signifies your sincerity and devotion to our country and government. John Adams” Truly, our country was blessed to have a restrained government in its earliest days, but we have become everything the Founding Fathers warned us not to become. By 'we' I do not mean individuals, of course, for there are some righteous among us, but I mean American culture, the general attitudes and practices of our day, and especially our leaders. You will recall that Ezra Taft Benson's first principle specifies that our "political institutions" must be founded on faith in God and belief in moral law. Can you even use the words hypocrite, liar, immoral, prideful, or thieving, without describing nearly every person or practice in our government today? The phrases "lolita express," "civil forfeiture," and "millionaire socialist" are perfect illustrations of some of these things. Without a belief in moral law, you end up with the "Law of Thelema", which says, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law". This is a Satanic doctrine that leads people to do horrifying things because they do not believe there will be eternal consequences for their actions. Understanding that we will be held accountable for our actions keeps us humble, and causes us to seek equity in all we do, for, as the scriptures clearly indicate, we will receive from God only what we have given to others. Prophets also have warned us against who we have become, precisely because our land was a gift to righteous men, with the specific promise of God's guidance and protection as long as we remained moral and God-fearing: “"And he had sworn in his wrath unto the brother of Jared, that whoso should possess this land of promise, from that time henceforth and forever, should serve him, the true and only God, or they should be swept off when the fulness of his wrath should come upon them." –Ether 2:8, Book of Mormon” “"Behold, it is expedient that much should be done among this people, because of the hardness of their hearts, and the deafness of their ears, and the blindness of their minds, and the stiffness of their necks; nevertheless, God is exceedingly merciful unto them, and has not as yet swept them off from the face of the land." –Jarom 1:3, Book of Mormon” Just like the Nephites, we only exist as a country because of God's mercy. But our destruction is imminent if we do not change–repent both personally and as a country, and return to the Constitution–before it is too late. Even then, your personal standing with God hangs in the balance based on what you do, right now, in the fight for freedom. “"There is no excuse that can compensate for the loss of liberty." –Ezra Taft Benson, Our Immediate Responsibility. BYU Devotional, October 25, 1966. (Audio | Text)” “"“Don’t you have faith in America?” say others. But America is made up of people – and only righteous patriotic people work to preserve their freedom. The American people’s blessings are conditioned on righteousness and nothing else." –Ezra Taft Benson, Our Immediate Responsibility.” ““Some may say, “I have faith the Lord will turn [our enemies] away.” What ground have we to hope this? Have I any good reason to say to my Father in heaven, “fight my battles,” when he has given me the sword to wield, the arm and the brain that I can fight for myself? Can I ask Him to fight my battles and sit quietly down waiting for Him to do so? I cannot. I can pray the people to harken to wisdom, to listen to counsel; but to ask God to do for me that which I can do for myself is preposterous to my mind.” –Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 12:241.” “"We know, as do no other people, that the Constitution of the United States is inspired – established by men whom the Lord raised up for that very purpose. We cannot – we must not – shirk our sacred responsibility to rise up in defense of our God-given freedom." –Ezra Taft Benson, Our Immediate Responsibility.” “We have been warned again and again and again. The Lords spokesman has consistently raised his voice of warning about the loss of our freedom. Now he that has ears, let him hear, and ye who praise the Lord, learn to also follow His spokesman. I know not what course others may take, but as for me and my house, we will strive to walk with the Prophet. And the Prophet has said that: “No greater immediate responsibility rests upon the members of the church, upon all citizens of this republic and of neighboring republics than to protect the freedom vouchsafe by the Constitution of the United States.” (The Instructor, August 1953.) In this mighty struggle each of you has a part. Be on the right side. Stand up and be counted. If you get discouraged, remember the words of Edward Everett Hale, when he said: “I am only one, but I am one. I can’t do everything, but I can do something. What I can do, that I ought to do, And what I ought to do, By the grace of God, I shall do!” –Ezra Taft Benson, Our Immediate Responsibility.” “"Alexander Hamilton, a soldier turned statesman… wrote that “it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force” (The Federalist, no. 1, p. 33)." –As quoted by David B. Haight in Ethics and Honesty, October 1987 General Conference”
