Georgia’s own 52-minute video on the ‘Agenda 21′ conspiracy
You think we’re done with people captured on video while listening to private groupthink? Ah, think again.
Mitt Romney wasn’t the first, and obviously won’t be the last.
Bryan Long of Better Georgia, a progressive group, sends the following 52-minute video of a session held at the Capitol for Republican state senators last month on Agenda 21, the alleged United Nations-driven conspiracy to harness private property through rezoning and planned-use ordinances passed by local governments.
The session was held Oct. 11. We have not checked their accounts, but we’re told that several senators claimed their per diem for attending the session. Long said his group delayed release of the video to avoid the media clutter of the presidential campaign. Watch it here:

The October meeting was called by Senate Majority Leader Chip Rogers, R-Woodstock. In the foreground of the video, you can also see state Sens. Buddy Carter, R-Pooler, and Barry Loudermilk, R-Cassville.
The leader of the discussion is Field Searcy, a former member of the Georgia Tea Party. The videographer was ordered to stop recording after almost an hour – which he did. Then he was escorted out.
But the open camera captured an outline of the program – which identified the United Nations, some non-governmental organizations, state government entities and chambers of commerce as bad actors.
Very specifically, Searcy cited public/private partnerships, like the one that will be building extra lanes up I-75 and I-547, and the trend toward regional government, as unsuccessfully attempted in this summer’s TSPLOST vote, as evidence of the conspiracy.
“Our own governments are doing this. Our own local city councils and county commissions – they’re doing this,” Searcy says on the video. He referred to Agenda 21 a “conspiracy to transform America from the land of the free, to the land of the collective.”
Searcy declared Agenda 21 was being pushed through a form of brain-washing:
”The Delphi technique was developed by the Rand Corporation during the Cold War as a mind-control technique. It’s also known as ‘consensive process.’ But basically the goal of the Delphi technique is to lead is to lead a targeted group of people to a pre-determined outcome…..”
In Georgia, Searcy cited regulations issued by the state Department of Community Affairs, and a 2007 planning document adopted by the Cobb County Commission as specific examples of Agenda 21 regulation. Which means Attorney General Sam Olens, who was Cobb commission chairman during the period, might want to pay attention.
The program also featured a video by Dick Morris, the political analyst, who declared that President Barack Obama was attempting to drive populations from the suburbs to urban cores in order to further Agenda 21 concerns.

We can avoid being victimized by these international conspiracies. It’s simple. We can listen to everything Sen. Rogers says, send him money to fund these educational sessions if people don’t think taxpayers should pay for it. We can sign that petition to leave the Union. Then…
Every teacher, state patrol, DHR, DNR and all other state employees can kiss their pensions goodbye. Remember how much the Confederate dollar is worth today? We’ll also have to depend on all the private gun collections, since US military equipment will leave the state. Who knows how our neighboring countries (USA, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee) will handle border crossings. The corporate friends of ALEC will probably run the state, you know, “privatize”.
Thank you, Jim. Stay on these people. Eventually, the good citizens of Georgia will follow these ideas to their natural conclusion.

When we all have guns, we won’t need cops; think of the cost savings to government. No cops, no judges, no prisons, no lawyers, no DAs, no sheriffs, no courthouses, nothing but 2nd Amendment solutions and justice the way the Old Testament wants it.

You guys are selling Ole Dick Morris short…I mean who better knows which little piggy went to market and which stayed home…which had roast beef and which had none…and finally he gets his jollies with the one that goes wee, wee, wee, all the way home. Oh yes, he’s a crackerjack election predictor too.

I just wish these loonies could agree on who it is that will be coming to take my liberty/land/guns/property/rights/jobs et al. will it be the socialists, the commies, the world bank, the corporations, the athiests, the Islamists, the Mexicans or the Black folks. I have been warned by frothing-at-the-mouth right wingnuts to expect a take-over by at least one if not more, of these groups. I think the solution to determining which wingnut group is right is to have an open panel discussion at the Ga dome, where representatives from each school of thought can put forth their ideas and argue about who the enemy is. Not only allow, but encourage participants to bring guns and lots of ammo. At the end of the day, we will have consensus as to whether it is the socialists, the commies, the world bank, the corporations, the athiests, the Islamists, the Mexicans or the Black folks that are conspiring to destroy our liberty/land/guns/property/rights/jobs et al. Right wingnuts are good at arriving at solutions this way.

Would seriously like to know why this meeting of people who work for us, the taxpayers, should not be available, in total, for viewing by all citizens. These people need to be doing the work of the people, not chasing false American Legislative Exchange agendas. That’s the agenda we should be afraid of. Chip is fulfilling his checklist for ALEC, not the people of Georgia.

For those of you that think Agenda 21 is a conspiracy theory, let me remind you of a piece of legislation from your “Dear leader” in the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi – HCON-Res 353 which you can find on the Library of Congress site (Thomas). Check 1992, 102d CONGRESS
2d Session. It is explicitly in favor of promoting Agenda 21.
Check the following Executive Orders:
Executive Order 12852 of June 29, 1993 (Bill Clinton)
Executive Order 13547 of July 19, 2012 (Barack Obama)
Executive Order 13575 of June 9, 2011 (Barack Obama)
This is not a conspiracy theory, it is a conspiracy being perpetrated on the American people by members of both parties to our detriment.
This program did not cost the taxpayers anything as these Senators were at the Capitol for other business that day. The program was presented free of charge by volunteers.
Get your heards out of the sand and do your own research. I am glad that at least some of our legislators have our best intersts in mind and are open to learning what is going on and are also willing to do their own research.

You missed the point entirely. I was (unknowingly) trespassing. I don’t mind that part. My point was that I went and talked to the land seller and then investigates the land buyer. They do not deny their agenda. My larger point was that Game and Fish DID broker the deal. And the land WAS in the heart of a national forest area. The story is that at some point in the future, they will donate the land to the forest service. I am betting that never happens. As to Land Trusts, why don’t you look it up. See if their is one in your home state. Ask yourself where they get money to purchase 47 million acres? (Their claim not mine). If all this is hunky dory with you then don’t bother. Just write me off as a nutjob and keep your head in the sand. When thy buy up the park system (after our debt drives is to start selling acrsge

PreyDawg is right. Over 47 million acres of US land is now in land trusts. And Jeff Foxworthy is leading the conspiracy. See the link right here:

Or put another way:
If you think Land Trusts have anything to do with Agenda 21, you might be a redneck.

Secession petitions are good PR but bad politics. There is a way for states to legally and politically secede from the American union but it must be a state-by-state process established by constitutional secession conventions in each state.
