Policy. Sixteen percent of the American population lives in rural counties. Strong, sustainable rural communities are essential to winning the future and ensuring American competitiveness in the years ahead. These communities supply our food, fiber, and energy, safeguard our natural resources, and are essential in the development of science and innovation. Though rural communities face numerous challenges, they also present enormous economic potential. The Federal Government has an important role to play in order to expand access to the capital necessary for economic growth, promote innovation, improve access to health care and education, and expand outdoor recreational activities on public lands.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-small\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/photos2.fotosearch.com\/bthumb\/UNT\/UNT251\/u16398706.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"113\" height=\"170\" \/>Warning bells should have been sounding all across rural America when the phrase &#8220;sustainable rural communities&#8221; came up.

The Council shall work across executive departments, agencies, and offices to coordinate development of policy recommendations to promote economic prosperity and quality of life in rural America, and shall coordinate my Administration\u2019s engagement with rural communities.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/photos1.fotosearch.com\/bthumb\/BDX\/BDX322\/bxp58590.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"166\" height=\"170\" \/>&#8220;Economic prosperity&#8221; and a better &#8220;quality of life,&#8221; that all sounds fairly innocent and well-intentioned. But continuing deeper into the order we find the council is charged with four directives:<\/p>\n<p>(a) make recommendations to the President, through the Director of the Domestic Policy Council and the Director of the National Economic Council, on streamlining and leveraging Federal investments in rural areas, where appropriate, to increase the impact of Federal dollars and create economic opportunities to improve the quality of life in rural America;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/photos3.fotosearch.com\/bthumb\/IMZ\/IMZ156\/rtr0019.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"129\" height=\"170\" \/>The vague language here sounds non-threatening. But, is there a hint here that a &#8220;rural stimulus plan&#8221; might be in the making? Will the Federal government start pumping money into farmlands under the guise of creating &#8220;economic opportunities to improve the quality of life in rural America?&#8221; It is difficult to discern as the language is so broad.<\/p>\n<p>We continue with the functions of the WHRC:<\/p>\n<p>(b) coordinate and increase the effectiveness of Federal engagement with rural stakeholders, including agricultural organizations, small businesses, education and training institutions, health-care providers, telecommunications services providers, research and land grant institutions, law enforcement, State, local, and tribal governments, and nongovernmental organizations regarding the needs of rural America;<\/p>\n<p>Virtually every aspect of rural life seems to now be part of the government\u2019s mission. And while all of the items in (b) sound like typical government speak, you should be alarmed when you read the words &#8220;nongovernmental organizations&#8221; (NGOs). NGOs are unelected, but typically government-funded groups that act like embedded community organizers. And NGOs are key to Agenda 21\u2032s plans.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing:<\/p>\n<p>(c) coordinate Federal efforts directed toward the growth and development of geographic regions that encompass both urban and rural areas;<\/p>\n<p>That one sounds very similar to the language found in the United Nations plan for sustainable cities known as Agenda 21. Managing the population in both rural and urban areas, with a focus on controlling &#8220;open spaces.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>(d) and identify and facilitate rural economic opportunities associated with energy development, outdoor recreation, and other conservation related activities.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/photos2.fotosearch.com\/bthumb\/FSD\/FSD460\/x13318134.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"113\" height=\"170\" \/>This function of Executive Order 13575 ties energy development with outdoor recreation\u00a0<em>and<\/em>&#8220;other conservation related activities.&#8221; When did outdoor recreation become a conservation related activity?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-small\">Aside from the content of this order and some its vague intentions, the timing of the signing should also be considered.

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
