Local councils were the Trojan Horse weren't they for Agenda 2030. I spent an eye opening 3 years in the Horowhenua observing the corruption there with 3 councilors speaking out one of them becoming Mayor much to the establishment's surprise. They silenced & neutered him for his whole term. They were told how to vote & any exposure of pollution of the environment met with a night visit by thugs in a van. (Even paid local iwi a mill to not object to certain polluting activities). The real wielder of power is the CEO on a bloated salary with compliant councilors onside. Property development is their prime activity. As one of those three blew the whistle on, their activities look very like insider trading. Of course in their position they have all the foreknowledge. As for consultation, a magazine from LG openly admits they have already made a decision, then consult, giving you the illusion only of consultation.

Totally Pam, and I could write a whole new article about how much these bureaucrats are paid - in salaries and expenses. The bloat is unbelievable with up to 10x more public servants than in other societies. It is surely time to end this corruption. We can go back in time to locally-run small committees with short tenures and just small expenses paid. No need for these massive buildings and $million of assets in ‘investments’ with equally big debts.

Yes! It's 'the plan'. Horowhenua CE in 2015, $251K, the Mayor, $99K, councilors $25K. On buildings, their new flash building had a crack in the basement. Exposed by the neutered Mayor. Logically you would make the builder liable. Not them.

So well said - my experience exactly.

Local councils are racketeering operations.

Always hundreds of thousands for annual kiddie drag shows and overseas 'listening' trips for staff, though. They are 'must-dos' on the calendar while the rubbish piles up and trees overgrow the powerlines.

What blew me away was the thugs in vans. They fairly put the boot in & left with the parting shot 'Mayor *** sends his regards'... that was the previous mayor.

Boy oh boy.

Regular occurrence in NSW property development. Dirty business.

Smart city councils

What a vision they have for resilience

On a nation built upon fault lines

Isolated from its neighbours by sea

If the power turns off

Money turns off

Streets turn off

Traffic turns off

Work turns off

Our world turns off

But where is our plan B?

The contingency?

It doesn't seem to be factored into the equation at all

It seems reckless

Controlling

Irresponsible

Daunting

The whole concept is taunting

Ask yourself

Has any statesman or leader led its people into crisis, genocide, famine, war or driven them all destitutely poor, before?

Because the history books seems to indicate

Yes. Yes they have.

Not just once or twice either

Lest we forget

The evidence says ... it's going to happen ... even the Internet turned off ... and they will say Putin ... or China ... did it, too ...

They have made sure there is no resilience ... no 'plan B' ... no way out ... of the 'trap' they have laid for us ... the 'trap' most have already fallen into ...

Electric vehicles ... don't run ... if there is no power grid ... we can't complain ... if there's no power grid ....

The people doing 'everything' ... are way, way cleverer ... than the 'morons' we call 'statesmen' ... whatever country you actually look at ...

Look at our councils (good example!) ... look at American 'liberal' cities ... look at the likes of corrupt Fani Willis ... and it is obvious ... wherever you look ... 'liberal insanity' is at work destroying the infrastructure supporting the 'Democracy' they say is so at risk ...

We always 'forget' ... they said Thalidomide was 'safe & effective' for pregnant women too ...

Exactly. Lies everywhere. On the electricity... I don't vape myself so only recently clicked the backy is well on its way out. But, those vapes require power to charge! Every which way, dependence on their system has been enforced.

Another excellent piece, Ursula, I'm enjoying your writing.

"How to stop it? Simple! Delete the App."

Mmm, I'd say, "Don't download the app in the first place, nor any other apps !" Get a cheap burner phone with no internet and GPS, and leave your smart phones at home. They are the crucial vector for the globalist's 'control'. Without mass take up, their plan will fail.

It's the same playbook around the western world, funny that, and the 15 minute city program is more advanced in some areas of the UK.

Local authorities are the backdoor to change. They know that, and we know that.

Pushback at the local level can, and does work...this recent article is encouraging >

Definitely my favorite 'rogue' academic ... 'jackboot' indeed!

I love this post ... I'm gonna have to study it a little more ...

The 'don't remember' bit is so 2030 ... brought forward to 2021 ... there's a lot going on ... people 'don't remember' voting for ... I have a ridiculous little 'foodscraps' bin sitting in the corner of my laundry till I can find a better use for it than waste-paper basketball practice ... (that I didn't ask for) ...

We're certainly getting a lot ... 'we didn't ask for ... from Tedros down ...

Keep going 'Tiger'

Just heard this morning on the lamestream news that Dunedin rates are set to rise by 17%. I wonder have folk read the ebook by Naomi Jacobs in NZ inspired initially by the rates rises in Kaipara a few years back? Rates rises the MO for landgrabs ... There are two pdfs of her work at the link (scroll down a little) SOCIALIST COUNCILS, DEBT-BONDAGE AND SERFDOM: https://envirowatchnz.com/agenda-21-in-nz/

Also the Fabian Socialist history of councils plus changes since 2006: https://truthwatchnz.is/all-categories/agenda-21-30/fabian-influence-on-council-developments-in-nz-important-info
