Green schemes make activists see red (Agenda 21 bullshit)

It was May 17, 2011, during an informational meeting on Janesville’s desire to join the Green Tier program offered by the state Department of Natural Resources. Some attendees reacted skeptically, handing out literature about Agenda 21, a non-binding pact to promote sustainable growth drafted by the United Nations in 1992.

“I had never heard of it,” recalls Hulick, a management analyst for the city. He assumed these fears about the Green Tier program, through which the DNR and the nonprofit land-use group 1,000 Friends of Wisconsin help communities pursue environmentally friendly practices, would fade over time. That didn’t happen.

Instead, Hulick said, opposition to the city’s participation in Green Tier has “grown at every meeting and become more vocal.” The Janesville City Council has twice delayed action on the program, due to the concerns raised by citizens, some from other counties.

These critics see Green Tier as a step on a slippery slope that could lead to the loss of liberty. At one public meeting, Georgia Janisch of Janesville called Agenda 21 a plan “to take us over from within without firing a shot.”

What the fuck is wrong with these nutters? These people make "Truthers", Birthers and Moon Landing Deniers look sane and rational.
