The Concerned Citizen Vol 1 Issue 1

The Jury’sTrue Authority Judges may not tell you this, but when you sit on a jury, you have the right to vote accord-ing to your conscience and to judge the law being applied to the case. As a juror, you are the final safeguard of justice. If the judge fails to provide the jury the entire wording of the law, or does not allow the defense to introduce as evidence the portion of the law that was left out, or you think the law he gives you is a bad or unconstitutional law or a good law being improperly applied, or there are other factors that would make you regret a vote to convict someone - then it is your right and duty as a juror to vote “Not Guilty” even if you are the only juror who does and you therefore “hang” the jury. You cannot be punished for voting “Not Guilty” no matter what the judge tells you. It only takes one aware juror to hang a jury and if all jurors acquitt, it cannot be retried by any court.

Our lawmakers sometimes pass bad laws, and, at times, good laws have been misused. Throughout history reason-ing jurors have refused to convict fellow citizens who were accused of breaking the law: They freed tax protesters during the

Whiskey Rebellion of 1794, refused to convict those who aided runaway slaves in violation of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, freed bootleggers charged during Prohibi-tion 1920-30, and released Vietnam War objectors 1960-70.

“I consider [trial by jury] as the only anchor ever yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution.” --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Paine, 1789. When the republic of free states was young, all jurors were told of their right to judge the law, as well as the facts of the case. Then judges decided that juries should no longer be told of their power to act as a safeguard against bad laws, unjust courts or unethical law-makers. Now, all jurors are instructed to accept the law as it is given to them by the judge, even in cases where the law is clearly unjust, or more often, not fully disclosed. But now you know the truth: If you are selected as a juror, you have the right and duty to do the right thing - to follow your con-science and to judge the law as well as the facts of the case. You, the informed juror, are the ultimate authority to hold government accountable to the people.

SECC Board of Directors (below) Meet 1st Thursday Each Month at 5:30 p.m. at Scott County Admin Bldg Downtown Davenport, Iowa.

Yes, it’s done. We’re stand-ing here looking at a 28,450 square foot building. What we can do now, however, is diligently watch over its $8 million a year price tag. The levy is uncapped.

There will be immediate pressure to increase spending & taxes.

Unelected SECC Board with Unlimited Taxing Authority

Do You Know SECC911 Facts?What Was Promised: - Saves Taxpayers $4.6M over 20 yrs

- $2.3M building - 6,000 sf building - $2M equipment - $0.53/$1K Tax Levy

What We Got: - Cost Taxpayers

$28M over 20 yrs

- $7.3M building

- 28,450 sf building

- $6M equipment

- $0.90/$1K Tax Levy

budget by another $650K in salary and benefits5. SECC is required to build a $1.2 million fund balance reserve.6. The residential tax rollback is expected to increase by 4% for the next 7 years. Will these additional tax dollars be used to lower the levy rate or grow the agency?7. Taxation to pay for SECC goes beyond the new tax levy for the long term debt. We have a 911 fee on our cell phone bills, and Scott county could implement a

The question is NOT if it was a good idea to consolidate the 3 dispatch services for cost and safety reasons. We were told it would save taxpayers $4.6 million over 20 years. That figure came from a $103,000 Consolidation Study that outlined how that sav-ings could be achieved through a 6,000 square foot building, costing $2.3 million, and $2.1 million to equip the building.

Instead, SECC911 is now a $26 million project carrying $28 mil-lion of debt for 20 years, and is the 2nd largest expenditure of the County budget at $8 million dol-lars a year.

How does an expenditure of this magnitude never come before the people as a referendum? 1. Create an independent author-ity through a joint powers agree-ment, (the 28E intergovernmental agreement for SECC). The board of directors put in place then has the newly created power to enter into contracts, acquire property, and the authority to approve the purchases.

2. The County board of supervi-sors has the ability to create a “local emergency management Fund” and fund this authority through a special levy. That levy is not subject to any of the caps on taxes.”

3. “The City of Davenport is classi-fied as a “Charter City and has the ability to finance capital improve-ments through the sale of bonds authorized by the City Council”. With a vote by the Davenport City Council, the taxpayer now has a $14 million, 20 year building debt.

4. The Board of Supervisors then used its bonding powers for the purchase of the emergency com-munication systems. The SECC budget will authorize the repay-ment each year for the County’s debt service. So while we all snoozed, we took on a second 20 year, $14 million debt for equip-ment.

And that’s how a project that would carry a $28 mil-lion debt never came before the people as a referendum.

1. The service contracts that were placed in long term debt will expire and grow the operating budget, 2. Equipment will become obsolete before we’ve paid that 20 year debt, and we’ll be paying for replacement and the original debt.3. The payroll expense ($4.4M) now sits at where it was projected to be in 2017 and grows each year.4. The intergovernmental agree-ment states that 30 months after consolidation, if mutually agreed by the SECC Board and Medic, the 9 Medic dispatchers will become Scott County employees. This could impact the SECC

The Big Picture:- Institutional Laziness Abounds

- Rubber Stamping is Constant - Avoiding Scrutiny is Refined

- Surrendering Authority is Commonplace

new wireline 911 surcharge. More taxes, more fees, more money.

Now We Know, Never AgainIn the end, however, the most important lesson is to make sure this doesn’t happen again. Understand how intergovernmen-tal agreements are formed—now we know what can and did happen when a board has the power to contract, purchase, and approve their own purchases and have a uncapped levy at their disposal to pay for it. Will you now engage, attend meetings, watch the board actions and get involved?

Agenda 21, ICLEI & Global to Local in Scott CountyHow’s this for a conspiracy theory? A global agenda, unveiled in 1992 during the United Nations Confer-ence on Environment & Develop-ment (UNCED, also known as the Rio Earth Summit), that is being progressively implemented in every level of government in America through a United Nations (UN) initiative called Sustainable Devel-opment Agenda 21. Agenda 21, as it is referred to in the UN’s own documentation (UN.org/esa/sust-dev/documents/agenda21), is “a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally, and lo-cally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts [sic] on the environ-ment.”Its purpose: to centrally own and control the planet’s resources under the guise of “smart planning” and “sus-tainable development.” In fact, for most UN-accredited non-governmental organizations (NGOs), Agenda 21 is synonymous with sustainable development.�e two primary goals of Agenda 21 are to (1) decrease the world population to “sustainable” levels as a means to effectively control labor, the planet’s number-one resource, and (2) eradicate individual property rights via comprehensive land-use planning that dictates land use ac-cording to a global master plan that includes control of everything from food to health to energy to security, and the list goes on.Locally, in Scott County, the slow incremental steps of this globalist agenda are wide open for all to see. On February 3, the Scott County Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 to adopt the state of Iowa’s “Smart Planning Principles” as part of its Comprehensive Plan. �e language of such principles sounds laudable on the surface: collaboration, effi-ciency, diversity, revitalization. Who could not be for these principles?

On January 20, the county staff explained that adopting these principles was a requirement to be eligible for future state and federal sustainability grants. �e fine print the county staff would prefer you don’t read is that the resolution adopts Iowa Code 18B Land Use, which reads in part:“Governmental, community, and individual stakeholders, includ-ing those outside the jurisdiction of the entity, are encouraged to be involved and provide comment during deliberation of planning, zoning, development, and resource-management decisions and during implementation of such decisions. Individuals, communities, regions, and governmental entities should share in the responsibility to pro-mote the equitable distribution of development benefits and costs.”

�is language reinforces what many critics of Agenda 21 are concerned with: Accepting state and federal grants eventually leads to ceding local authority to more central-ized regional councils of unelected governments – with the authority to levy more taxes (Does SECC911 ring any bells?) so they may further their top-down goals.

Scott County Supervisor Larry Minard addressed this concern prior to his vote, stating: “If such an organization does develop that relates to planning and other issues that might come before it ... the state will decide that and they will decide whether it’s a taxable organization or it doesn’t tax. �ey will decide what’s going to happen; we won’t. But I can guarantee you that if we have that organization that Scott County will be a participant and play an active role. And we will do what ... allows our people to have that quality of life that we think they should have.”Coming down the pipeline soon is the county’s “Sustainability Plan” (funded by a federal grant), which if approved will be another brick in

the wall of Agenda 21 implemented locally in Scott County. NOTE: SEE SIDE BAR BELOW.

�is global-to-local strategy began with President George H.W. Bush, Sr. as the signatory for the U.S., one of 178 nations that adopted Agenda 21 at UNCED. In 1993, Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-California) submitted House Joint Resolution 166 for the implementa-tion of Agenda 21, but it failed. So President Bill Clinton created the President’s Council on Sustainable Development (PCSD) via an execu-tive order to implement Agenda 21 that same year.

It is important to note that Congress has had no say in the matter because Agenda 21 is considered to be a “soft-law policy recommendation” requiring no ratification because it does not qualify as a “treaty.” Soft-law policies are not internationally binding but can find easy applica-tion through local legislation.

For most Americans, it is incon-ceivable that our own government would be party to any program or process, such as the United Nations’ Agenda 21, specifically designed to reduce population and eliminate private-property rights. Yet this is exactly what is taking place across our land, and around the globe. It is a long-range plan that is methodical and precise in its execution.

Sadly, like most effective conspira-cies, many participants are not even aware of its existence as they propel much of this nefarious agenda forward through local, state, and federal programming in our schools, land-use agencies, county and city services, health and emergency-management processes, and, most critically, our courts.

�e most widely used tool for implementing Agenda 21 locally is through stakeholder councils, which are charged with creating consensus on some project, typically the result of a perceived crisis in the commu-nity, such as a poor water-manage-ment system or high population density. (Supervisor Minard believes 350 humans per square mile is one such problem in terms of sustain-ability in Scotty County.)

Once a project has been identi-fied, NGOs, regional councils of governments, not-for-profits, etc. have a vast stock of sustainable-de-velopment cookie-cutter solutions available through the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI). �at organiza-tion was launched in 1990 at the World Congress of Local Govern-ments for a Sustainable Future and has its head-quarters in To-ronto, Canada, with branches worldwide, including in Berkeley, California.

ICLEI’s sole mission is to assist local govern-ments, such as counties and cities, by providing policy recommenda-tions for implementing sustainability programming. ICLEI was instru-mental in writing a portion of the Agenda 21 handbook, specifically Chapter 28, and in the formulation of Local Action 21 Strategies that ensure the “unwavering, systematic implementation of local action plans over the next decade,” as reported in ICLEI’s Motto, Mandate, Move-ment (2003).

Agenda 21’s primary direc-tive is for human wants, needs, and desires to conform to the views and dictates of the planners. According to Harvey Ruvin, vice chair of ICLEI and clerk of the circuit and county court of Miami-Dade County, Florida: “Individual rights will have to take a back seat to the collective.” (For more informa-tion, see Understanding Sustainable Development: Agenda 21 at Freedo-mAdvocates.org.)

Rather than all men being created equal – with government’s role to ensure each individual’s rights are not violated – “equity” will be ac-complished by implementing inter-national economic order and trans-ferring resources from developed countries to undeveloped countries. Because the United States has a higher standard of living than most countries, developed or not, our standard of living must decrease to bring about international economic balance. �at is what is meant by

redistribution of wealth. Instead of utilizing private enterprise, however, the redistribution is taking place utilizing public/private partnerships. �is model is accelerating and will soon appear to be the norm rather than the exception.

Public/private partnerships are anti-thetical to free enterprise. Big busi-ness melds with big government to

form the unholy alliances that corrupt competi-tion. �e lethal combination of economic power and government force inevitably leads to tyranny, and clearly de-

fines nearly every democracy on the planet, past and present.Agenda 21 is primarily implemented through a network of agencies that provide carrots in the form of federal and state grants dangled in front of mostly unsuspecting bureaucrats and elected politicians who consider themselves omnipotent budget managers instead of upholding individual’s personal-property rights as their oaths of office dictate.

Institutional laziness that infects every level of U.S. government makes formulaic programs even more attractive to bureaucrats and politicians because all the heavy lifting is already done. �e funding abounds via tax-funded agencies and foundations. So that just leaves the quid pro quo or the necessary pay-to-play, which is, simply put, the sacrificing of Americans’ unalienable rights – namely property rights that are forsaken so that massive amounts of land can be transferred, bought/sold, and/or controlled for the use of a global central-planning cabal.Most nations are enthusiastically on-board with Agenda 21 because they have far less to lose and much more to gain. �is is not the case in America. We have everything to lose and nothing whatsoever to gain. Perhaps that’s why Agenda 21 is such a stealthily crafted conspiracy, one that has plausible deniability as long as you don’t read any of the fine print. Be clear here: �e “planners” are literally banking that you won’t. ____________________________- Originally appeared in the River Cities’ Reader March 3, 2011.
