Panel discusses: How Smart Growth is designed to depopulate rural areas and transition human populations into high-density occupation zones; How global organizations are gaining control of USA water resources; How sustainable development plans are being implemented by collectivist counsels outside of the democratic process, and; Threats to Private property in Santa Cruz, California, and throughout the USA.

Panel introduces Smart Growth / Sustainable Development as a program that will eliminate private property, discusses the affect of Smart Growth policies in Santa Cruz County, and how significant changes to policy and society are being implemented without a vote from citizens.

Panel and callers discuss: Cases where citizens have resisted, and defeated Sustainable Development / Smart Growth programs; Individual and property rights written into the Constitution; How Sustainable Development programs are being implemented by a soviet system -- a system of councils that report to the "apex council".

The United States stands as the "last major impediment to global governance", according to the May edition of WorldNetDaily.com's magazine, Whistleblower Magazine. Of particular note for Santa Cruz County residents is that this renowned national publication specifically sites Santa Cruz as a ground-zero point for implementation of global government at a local level. This is groundbreaking research for a national publication. Spread the word...

The Global Biodiversity Assessment report directed by the United Nations Environment Programe (UNEP) calls for urgent action to reverse unsustainable effects on global biodiversity.

Sustainable communities will ensure that individuals and nations pursue the future o­nly along the paths deemed "sustainable" by those self-appointed bureaucrats who think they know what is best for the world.

If there is a bedrock principle upon which our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution, and our nation was constructed, it is this: "government is empowered by the Consent of the governed"... There are people among us in Santa Cruz County and other portions of the United States and other nations that believe this method of public policy development is obsolete.
