9/3, Missouri

North of Kansas City I listened to the Derry Brownfield show. The topic today--and every day, for all I know--was "sustainable development," which sounds like a good idea but is actually an attempt to undermine the Union from within. (FM reception was spotty, so I missed the details on that.) There was a guest on from Oregon, where the sustainable developers have already won. Apparently most of the push for sustainable development came from a series of UN-sponsored conferences in the late 80s which were infiltrated by the KGB, under the direction of Mikhail Gorbachev, who is still very active in the movement. Callers were urged to go look up the real documents for themselves, and not to trust information they find on the Internet, because a lot of the supposedly anti-sustainable-development stuff on the net is actually put there by PRO-sustainable-development operatives who go way over the top so as to discredit anti-sustainable-development activists by making them look like crazy conspiracy theorists.

After three whole days of Republican and occasionally Democratic talking points, honestly, it was refreshing just to hear a different agenda.

what? sustainable development doesn't have anything to do with the CIA, the UN, or any radio talking head. it's got to do with insulating Arizona homes with straw bale, modifying Boston city busses to run on biodiesel, and planting windfarms in rural communities to supply power to local residents. there is no international conspiracy - just people who want to get by without causing people elsewhere in the world to suffer.

Right, the people on that show were crazy. But at least they were different crazy.
