It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s subservience coupled with power-mongering vs. individual life, liberty, &amp; the pursuit of happiness.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully it is not too late, but reality paints a dismal picture for human liberty once more on this planet. The Siren Song of Something for Nothing &amp; Forced Redistribution is stronger than the Enlightenment Philosophies which guided our Founders.&nbsp; Knowledge and the thirst for knowledge languishes on the barren plain of a planned intellectual famine.<\/p>\n<p>Knowledge and those who impart and fight for it are our only hopes.&nbsp; Without which we enter the new Dark Ages which has already condoned torture, imprisonment without due process, locks on freedom of speech &amp; all the rest of our Constitutional liberties, endless wars, jobs outsourced &amp; stolen, 3rd World invasions by the millions\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6all producing an equally miserable standard of living, except for the elite of course. <\/p>\n<p>Our only choice is to FIGHT against the return of histories\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 reigns of terror &amp; control, and Agenda 21 &amp; the bevy of bastard babies is one good place to draw the line in the sand, but it requires an informed citizenry.<\/p>\n<p>~Barbara McCutchen<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/j85.01e.mytemp.website&nbsp;\">arkansasfreedom.net&nbsp;<\/a> &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Some of the names mentioned are local, but every town in the U.S.A. has varying degrees of Agenda 21\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6just supply your own local names to fit the endeavors) The Many Faces of the U.N.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Agenda 21 &amp; its bevy of bastard babies \u00e2\u20ac\u0153How do I trap thee?&nbsp; Let me count the ways\u00e2\u20ac\u009d&nbsp; (apologies to Elizabeth &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/arkansasfreedom.net\/?p=243\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Agenda 21 &#038; it&#8217;s bevy of bastard babies<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,40,19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-globalization","category-one-world-order-dictatorship","category-political-correctnessthe-destroyer"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/arkansasfreedom.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/arkansasfreedom.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/arkansasfreedom.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arkansasfreedom.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arkansasfreedom.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=243"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/arkansasfreedom.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/arkansasfreedom.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arkansasfreedom.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arkansasfreedom.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
