This speech was given back on July 23, 2004 at the fifth annual Freedom 21 Conference in Reno, Nevada. It explains the use of the fourth branch of government to slowly, steadily gain complete control over our lives.

My friends, we come here today from many walks of life. A wide variety of reasons got each of us started on the road to activism.
Some of us started simply because we noticed something funny about our child's curriculum in school. Some of us were outraged by government trying to take away our guns. A good many of us suddenly found government agents and members of private groups plotting to take away our land. Some have had their livestock confiscated. Some have found themselves facing jail just for doing what their fathers and grandfathers have done on the same land for decades.
Some of us just wanted to be allowed to go to church, pray to God and celebrate Christmas without being fined for it. A few of us would even like to be able to go to a restaurant and order food we like — even if it is greasy, fattening, and full of carbs and calories.
All of us just want to live in an America where our rights and pursuit of happiness is protected. And so we fight. And now we've found ourselves here today in a room with hundreds of others in the same boat. . . . . But Sustainable Development is a very difficult concept to grasp. It's written in an almost foreign language - designed to mislead and refrain from alarming you. . . . . That's how the Sustainable Development agenda is implemented. Behavior modification based on fear. Freedom of choice is not part of Sustainable Development . . . . Now, perhaps you'll understand why there are Sustainable Development papers, guidelines and regulations to impose the ruling principle:
• On our public education system — to prepare our children to live in a "sustainable" world • On our economy — to create partnerships between business and government, making sure business becomes a tool to help implement the policies • On the environment — leading to controls on private property and business. • On healthcare — the new drive against obesity is leading directly toward controls on what we eat. • On farming — Sustainable Development policies affect farmers' ability to produce more crops by regulating or banning free farming practices that have fed America and the world for 200 years. • On our social and cultural environment — where political correctness is controlling policy, including hiring practices, immigration policy, multiculturalism, marriage laws, etc. • On our mobility — with emphasis on carpools and public transportation and away from the freedom of personal transportation. • And on public safety — where the rule of law and the court system is being challenged by new regulations that affect the right to privacy and unreasonable search and seizures. . . . . And you must understand that Sustainable Development is the official policy of the government of the United States of America — and every state, city, and small burg in the nation.
It is completely bi-partisan. It is being equally implemented by Republicans and Democrats. No matter the outcome of any election — the Sustainable Development agenda moves forward unabated.
What I am telling you here today is that Sustainable Development isn't just some land-use policy. It is a complete transformation of American society; away from the rule of law; away from the ideals of property ownership, free enterprise, free travel, and even free association.
Sustainable Development. It's a life plan. Planned by someone else. Not you. . . . . Arm yourselves with that knowledge, and then step-by-step work to elect local representatives who will resist the Sustainablist agenda and its money. The money is the key. Take back your communities and in that way, step-by-step, take back America."
