In October 1996 Mayor Willie Brown announced his new “Sustainability Plan” for San Francisco, which calls for eventual elimination of all cars and trucks from the city. The plan states that “Ultimately, in a sustainable San Francisco, almost all trips to and within the City will be on public transit, foot or bicycle as will a good part of trips in the larger Bay Region. Walking through streets designed for pedestrians and bicycles will be more pleasant than walking through those designed for the automobile…Old, obsolete highway segments of the automobile era will be demolished…Only through the cooperation of an enlightened San Franciscans will the City become a leading global citizen.”
Brown’s plan doesn’t explain how people are expected to get to the city without cars. It doesn’t explain how the 900,000 people lining in San Francisco will be supplied with food and other merchandise without trucks. It doesn’t explain how anyone will even be able to move a sofa or refrigerator from one house to another (by oxcart?). And San Francisco is just one of 40 U.S. cities that now plan to eliminate cars and trucks in the name of sustainability.
Many biodiversity councils have been established. For instance, the Chicago Region Biodiversity Council is a coalition of 34 federal agencies, cultural organizations, and environmental groups, which the Chicago Tribune calls “an ambitious and unprecedented effort to restore what nature created, not piece-by-piece, but on a regional scale…The idea is to created a network of native natural areas not just in [Illinois] forest preserves but in city and suburban neighborhoods and on corporate campuses. Lawns and parkways could be replaced by fields of prairies, wildflowers, and parkways could be replaced by fields of prairies, wildflowers, and boring detention ponds could be replaced by living wetlands.
Of course, the lawns they are planning on eliminating are those of people like you and me. And the parkways they want to turn into flowers are our major means of transportation. Earth First! could hardly ask for more.
The shocking reality is that without most of us even being aware of its existence, a deadly alliance of authoritarian environmentalists and utopian city planners has been moving full speed ahead to roll back industrial civilization.
The authoritarian environmental movement is global, powerful and well organized. Many Americans are being required to surrender their liberty in the name of “the environment” without a shot being fired. If a crazed foreign despot tried to force the American people to give up their cars, homes, businesses, standard of living, and freedom in the name of socialism and the glory of the state, he’d be hanged. But when the new environmental totalitarians demand precisely the same policies in the name of “saving the earth,” millions of Americans applaud.
Once the American people are aware of the full dimensions of the authoritarian environment agenda to take away their cars, air conditioners, factories, and homes, they will surely reject this totalitarian environmental agenda and return to sanity.
We can have both a safe, livable environment and freedom and prosperity, but only if we expose and reject the environmental authoritarian movement to destroy industrial civilization.|||Maybe the answer is control. By limiting when you can travel and by therefore scheduling the way you travel people will be able to be controlled much more easily.
With actual movement out of the way information can be filtered much move freely as it will become harder and harder to verify information that is coming from these media sources.
This has been happening for sometime now. 1984 came and went and the Orwellian fiction becomes more and more real (virtual) every day.
