Where
The first suggestion of this plan I could find, reaches back to the German philosopher Karl Marx 1818–1883. His "Manifesto" outlined a model for world domination, which was followed by contributions from two other German social scientists, namely, Max Horkheimer (1895–1973) and Herbert Marcuse, (1898–1979). They co-founded " The Encyclopedia of Marxism" in Frankfort during the early years of the second decade in the 20th century.

How
The Russian revolutionary, Vladimir Lenin, used the philosophical ideals of this trio to formulate his plan for Russia’s Bolshevik revolution beginning in 1914. He succeeded in transforming the examples of abstract philosophy into physical reality by forcefully overpowering the Russian guard and removing and executing the ruling Czar and his family. He replaced them with a society governed by a central government controlling a communal living system for the Russian people. He labeled the new society "The Soviet Union." The physical revolution was completely successful, but the following cultural social experiment failed after an uninterrupted 73 years. The new government is now engaged in a slow recovery via a primitive form of democracy.

When
The concept of Communism didn’t end there. After the collapse of The Soviet Union, the unemployed political leaders, now officially labeled as "Communists," slithered into the western nations, ( particularly the Americas) where they now operate and live comfortably. However their political philosophy did not restart with the new arrivals because we already had a sufficient amount of American born ultra-socialists living and operating here. You can discover them firmly embedded as professors in our institutions of higher learning. Others are leaders in industry, science and social studies. A multitude of foreign disciples operate in our government facilities as ambassadors and staff members. They sit in their cubicles of contrivance in a skyscraper called "The United Nations Building" in New York City. It is there, that most of the compositions gleaned from the contributors both past and present, are bound together in this document we know as "Agenda 21." They have taken the old concept of communism and redefined it as "Globalism" or "The New world Order" to make it more palatable for the public. "Agenda 21" was made public in 1993 and continues to be redefined, promoted and peddled by the elite of the intellectual community. The general plan is already well into the implementation stage, especially here in the United States, because we are suckers enough to pay for their intention of controlling our future.

Action
The magic words in the program are "Sustainable Development." Most of the recent contributors are sponsored by The United Nations organization. Each contributor selectively applies the latest information available, relative to his field of expertise, to create a thesis on how this information can be translated into a practical application of action dedicated to the restoration of the planet as close to how it was in a primeval period, before the intrusion of human existence. The intent is not to eliminate humanity completely, but rather to minimize our effect on the environment by severely limiting the number of people they feel the planet can support without exhausting it’s resources. When you first read portions of the contributors essays, it all seems innocent enough, because we all want to preserve our environment for future generations. However this reorganization is not confined to land or water control. If it were fully implemented, the tentacles would extend into how we produce and use our energy, what access we have to areas under government control, what type, and how many aircraft will use our skyways, what subject matter will be taught to our children, what traditional American values will be discarded, how much of our individual travel will be curtailed, Will our borders be protected? Will the economy continue to function on a free market basis? Will the "Bill of Rights" still protect us? Will our system of jurisprudence belong exclusively to American’s ? Will America survive as a sovereign nation??? The answer to the last five questions is a resounding "NO."

Why
George Bush the senior, got us into this monumental mess by signing on to "The Rio Accords" in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 without even reading it. I believe that, because it isn’t possible to fully understand the consequences and retain the massive amount of material in the document in a few short days at a conference. He had to accept the opinions of his agenda supporting advisors. Bill Clinton, further promoted the agenda in 1993 by appointing a commission to implement action on securing resources to bring under U.N. control. It is called "The strategic plan for the U.S. Biosphere Reserve Program," it contains well over 47 existing biospheres with 44 million acres under control and growing fast. Dozens of our nations major parks, such as Yellowstone, Yosemite, The Statue of Liberty and Independence Hall are all currently under the control of The United Nations.

The Reason
I am writing this extremely condensed article on "Agenda 21" because whenever I mention this document to acquaintances, most of them give me a blank stare indicating absolute innocence on the subject and that frightens me very much. This Agenda has the potential of destroying the Constitutional sovereignty of The United States and we are allowing it to happen and paying for most of it, as it happens. If you can’t spell "Agenda 21" or ‘ Globalism’ or ‘The new World Order,’–try ‘Communism, because that’s exactly what it is. We as FREEDOM loving Americans must separate ourselves from The United Nations. American intelligence is second to none throughout the world, and we can handle any environmental or social problems we have without the help of foreign dignitaries whose ultimate goal is our destruction. Use your pens, e-mails and voices to let them know we will not surrender our LIBERTY to anyone.

Earmarks are one of the major reasons why we have such an enormous deficit. Adding to the cost of well intended legislation is a practice that has experienced tremendous growth in the last few decades. It is viewed as an easy vehicle of wealth redistribution used by Congressional members who are too incompetent or lazy to construct legislation of their own. They also provide cover from the wrath of their constituencies. Suckling from the legislation of others has been commonly practiced by the representative we employ here in our 1st District.

There is a better method of providing financing for local projects without huge government subsidies. It is called “Lowering taxes.” Just imagine what that would do for us. Instead of sending our money to the state and federal government and then after begging, having only part of it returned to us, we could efficiently spend all of it right here, through our local government, for what we want and how much we want to be taxed for it. We would not be burdened by restrictions that should not apply to us. We could actually design the way we live. If we don’t wean ourselves soon, there may not be any teat left for us to draw on.

The McCain-Feingold, Campaign Finance Reform Act is an unprecedented, unconstitutional disaster. It is the worst piece of legislation that ever passed through the U.S. Congress since the personal income tax.

Adoption of my campaign finance reform would revolutionize American politics and revitalize the spirit that made us so great. It goes without saying that incumbents will fight the passage of this legislation like a dog protecting his bone, but if we don’t start a public campaign to eliminate the outrageous advantage the incumbent has over the challenger, we will be stuck with the same stagnant mind set of career politicians forever.

This legislation will force the incumbents to depend on the generosity of their own constituency just as their challengers must do. We, as Americans deserve to explore the potential of new political creativity generated by fresh minds in the quest for a stable and dynamic America.

Thomas Jefferson, one of the most prominent fathers of the Constitution put it this way; “It is my hope that elected members of the House of Representatives will spend one or two terms as officials and then be “anxious” to return to the farm.” The trouble is, they don’t want to return to the farm. They intend to keep us prisoners of their own limitations until they choose to end it.

Don Hooper’s Campaign Finance Reform:
— No state candidate contending for a seat in the Michigan House of Representatives may solicit or accept campaign funding from outside of the boundaries of the Michigan House District (he or she) lives and represents. This rule applies to incumbents and challengers alike.

— No state candidate contending for a seat in the Michigan State Senate may solicit or accept campaign contributions from anywhere outside of the boundaries of The Michigan Senate District (he or she) lives and represents. This rule applies to incumbents and challengers alike.

— No federal candidate contending for a seat in the United States House of Representatives may solicit or accept campaign contributions from outside of the boundaries of the federal congressional district (he or she) lives and represents. This rule applies to incumbents and challengers alike.

— No federal candidate contending for a seat in the United States Senate may solicit or accept campaign contributions from outside of the boundaries of the state in which (he or she) lives and represents. This rule applies to incumbents and challengers alike.

— Only the president and his challengers contending for the presidency of the United States may solicit or accept campaign funding from within all 50 states but not beyond the boundaries of all of the states of the union.

— All incumbent campaign financial resources accumulated and registered in the state or federal election commissions, previous to the day after the last election, will become ineligible for use in the following election cycle. This currency will be returned to the contributor or given to a registered charity of the candidates choice.

— All registered political parties in the United States will be forbidden to use party aggregates for the direct promotion of any party candidates.

The above description is a condensed outline of Don Hooper’s campaign finance reform. The actual legislation would be written in language as simple as the Constitution itself to prevent revisionists from using lawyer language that could distort the true meaning of the final draft.

Instead, It will be up to a majority of the several hundred "Super Delegates" that emerge from the war to select the candidate of their choice. In my way of looking at this. It stinks of something that a third world dictatorship would do to ignore the selection of all the people, in favor of a chosen few insiders.

Mmmm, – This sounds very familiar, maybe because it resembles what the Republicans are doing here in our 1st District by selecting their anointed candidate for The United States House of Representatives, while at the same time imposing "Rule #11" against the remaining two candidates. Only here it is not several hundred "Super Delegates," it is only one "Super Duper Delegate" named Saul Anuzis, that is doing the choosing.

In both cases, it smells of anti-American ethics and goes against the grain of all the principals we have worshiped since the inception of our Great Nation.

While our behavioral patterns are considered more liberal then those of surrounding nations we do maintain a level of moral standards that regulate the gray areas where specifics are left to the discretion of the courts. Some of the gray areas contain voids where unsolicited reparation is bestowed on individuals that have committed serious acts of maleficence. These dividends originate from self-serving entrepreneurs who invest and eventually profit handsomely on the misfortune of some, caused by the abhorrent acts of others. Such acts usually create immediate fame for the perpetrators, permitting this vehicle of notoriety to be translated into profit via media contrivances.

Profit is not condemned by capitalism, when it is achieved by conventional methods, in fact it is one of our revered hallmarks for financial success. However, when that goal is accomplished by the tools of contempt for the American justice system, it is time to put a restraint on it.

Hypothetical case in point. A man solicits the services of a prostitute in a state where it is illegal. The man becomes exposed and loses his job, his wife, his home, his future and much of his fortune along with dignity and respect. —The prostitute becomes famous and receives extravagant monetary offers from magazines, television, radio shows, motion picture contracts and offers from book publishers. With no specific laws to prevent this abomination of impartiality, how can the prostitute and her investors be prevented from profiting by way of this illegal act?

The answer. Such cases must be brought to the courts attention by state prosecutors where gray area arguments against acts of criminal profiteering can prevent the acceptance of such illicit offerings. Then petition the court to waive the offerings acceptance for a period of at least one year. By that time “Hustler Magazine” and a few other smut productions will no longer make extravagant offers to the defendant because the public will no longer be interested. Such a phenomena as the case outlined above is extraordinary, and lies within unexplored areas of American jurisprudence, but it is not outside of the American public’s outrage.

Note: The “Anna Nichole Smith” episode is another “robbery by sex” debacle. If you know of others, let me know.
