QUITO, Ecuador (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - More than 60 mayors from around the world have joined forces to create an alliance dubbed a 'global parliament' to demand a more powerful role in the management of city growth and urbanisation.

Speaking on the eve of the United Nations Habitat III conference in Quito, Ecuador, on Sunday, the mayors outlined a united vision in which local government would lead the global response to rising urbanisation.

...

She said the feminisation of politics at local government level had already achieved more livable cities and that the group had to work for more women at the helm.

Actually many big cities in the USA are draining out of Americans and going bankrupt due to Democrat mismanagement. The only thing keeping some of them afloat is massive importation of low IQ workers from third world countries. The internet is making living in an expensive high crime concentration camp obsolete.

Imagine living in a nice middle-class suburban neighborhood and THEN....

All the fences between the neighbors are bulldozed down, and then the bulldozers start pushing all the houses together so there is barely a foot between them all...

Then people from another town start running around with clipboards and start fining you if THEY THINK your house is painted a certain color or if you have too many trees or flowers or windows or cars etc....

Then they start moving in people from another town forcibly into your house...

That is agenda 21...

We should give big cities unlimited taxation and regulation powers within city limits. It will accelerate their demise. With terrorists and terror sponsors such as Iran closing in on weapons of mass destruction, continuing to build centralized high value targets is Democrat stupid.

More than 35,000 people, from academics and planning specialists to government officials and U.N. leaders have gathered together in the Andean city to discuss the future of the world's cities.

Junket time for the politicians and hangers on. I wonder who's paying for it? Wait! Don't tell me!

I could see that this might be valuable in planning third-world megacities. Ideas such as satellite cities and use of dedicated bus roads for mass transit instead of rail have already been successfully implemented in countries like Brazil.

As long as I don’t have to pay for any of it, especially the corruption.

Agenda 2030 is even more frightening! I tried to warn people but they would not listen. Now the world is on the brink of something terrible.

[ Agenda 2030 is even more frightening! I tried to warn people but they would not listen. Now the world is on the brink of something terrible. ]

The only thing that may very well be stopping their agenda is the 2nd Amendment practicing citizen of the united States and they may very well be viewing nuclear War as the ONLY way they could plausibly disarm Americans WITHOUT leading to their SYSTEM OF CONTROL being dismantled by Patriots.

The US gets in a limited Nuclear War with Russia, several cities/areas are nuked (possibly even by our own nukes), or an EMP event, Martial law is declared and unrest is fomented among minorities in order to create a situation where they can go an “Collect Weapons”...

Since most all communications would be cut off due to the EMP, they could lie to the citizens on the ground level telling them it is only happening in their area because of unrest and not tell them it is happening everywhere...
