The
war against U.N. Agenda 21
just got hotter in Virginia. Thinking Americans understand now what U.N. Agenda
21 is and are not backing down from fighting the anti-American,
anti-prosperity, wealth redistribution scheme of the United Nations against our
way of life.
The U.N. has deemed commercial agriculture unsustainable and
has used taxpayer dollars and local supervisors to re-zone, re-shape, and
prohibit land use for local agriculture or building that is not approved by
their bio-diversity plan of limiting human habitation – all in the name of
saving the planet.
Our planet does not need saving, Mother Earth is doing fine.
The problem lies with progressive
humans in positions of power who want to control everything we do while they
line their pockets with our hard-earned taxpayer dollars.
Unfair regulatory actions against Martha Boneta, a farmer in
Fauquier County, Virginia, “violate fundamental rights and unfairly restrict
her property rights.” Delegate L. Scott Lingamfelter (R-Woodbridge/31st
district) plans to strengthen Virginia’s Right to Farm Act and to “protect
farmers against future encroachments by local government.”
Delegate Lingamfelter, who represents four of the Fauquier
County’s 20 voting precincts, is planning a press conference to discuss his
proposed legislation on January 8, 2013 in Richmond, Virginia. Two prominent
property rights advocates will be in attendance, Joel Salatin and Mark
Fitzgibbons.
“Martha Boneta’s rights have been wrongly challenged. I am
bringing legislation in the 2013 session of the General Assembly to improve the Right
to Farm Act here in Virginia, so small farmers like Martha will enjoy fully
their property rights. It’s not about demonizing anyone in this controversy.
It’s about standing by property rights and our Founder’s vision.”
Local Governments for Sustainability, formerly known as
ICLEI, the International Council on Local Environmental Initiatives has been
quite successful since 1992, when U.N. Agenda 21 was adopted, in infiltrating
and recruiting local governments to do their bidding. When Americans exposed their
nefarious plans, they have changed their name. Their main goal is to control
zoning and land use.
Martha Boneta’s plight and subsequent lawsuit stemmed from a
planned birthday party for eight ten-year olds on her farm. County officials
notified her that she should have obtained a prior permit for hosting this
party and thus would be fined $5,000 for failing to abide by the local
ordinance. She was charged with two additional violations of up to $5,000 each,
one for advertising
a pumpkin carving and another for operating a small shop on her property from
which Martha sold her fresh produce and homemade crafts. The county made these
allegations without ever setting foot on her farm. The Fauquier county board of
zoning appeals upheld the zoning administrator’s decision that Boneta held
“temporary and/or special events without the required county approvals.”
I have written about Martha’s plight in my book, “U.N.
Agenda 21: Environmental Piracy.” Martha purchased a ruined and abandoned farm
under an agricultural conservation easement. Nothing in the bill of sale was mentioned that she could
not farm. A lot of hard work, sweat, and tears went into breathing life into
this property. She never dreamed that stumbling blocks would be placed in front
of her along the way by the very Americans who are supposed to protect our
freedoms.
She got a business license. She built an apiary, harvested
hay, grew herbs, and rescued 165 animals, sold chicken, duck, turkey, emu eggs,
candles made from beeswax, birdhouses,
and fiber from llamas and alpacas.
First, she was told she could not cut grass on her property.
Then she had to fence in 20 acres for two years because it was considered
“hallowed ground,” although nobody died there during the Civil War, it was just
an encampment area. By this rule, the whole state of Virginia should be
cordoned off to any kind of use due to its many battlefields and movements of
troops across the state. After two years, a “clerical error” was declared and
Martha could use her land; no reimbursement for loss of property or revenue.
A trench was dug to prevent parking on her property because
it might obscure the view shed. Then came the infamous pumpkin carving party
that actually never took place, it was cancelled. Yet the harassment from the
county and the moneyed environmentalists never stopped. These people
prefer and define farming as penny-loafer farming, running a few horses on lush
endless green grass fields, nothing to grow that people would need.
The battle did not stop with Martha. Thirteen vintners filed
lawsuits against the same county for not being allowed to serve wine on their
premises after 6 p.m., another Fauquier County restriction passed to please one
vintner who chose to close early. Why leave things alone? Force everyone to do
the same, control what everyone else does.
Americans are waking up when they run into legal battles at
the state and local levels involving zoning issues driven by one ultimate goal,
global governance. The U.N. Agenda 21 “soft law” document is not legally binding per se but
morally obligatory. Unfortunately, so many of its 40 chapters of rules have
already been written into law within other laws passed by Congress and they
provide specific rules and regulations about local organizations and their
practices, limiting everyone’s behavior and freedom, individuals and
organizations alike. Add zoning ordinances passed by local and state
governments and you have a recipe for disaster, total control of what you do
with your own property.
