UK Ecotowns to get go-ahead despite local opposition
Sunday, July 12th, 2009
Here is a test bed, as they say, for the high density population centres that social engineers intend to herd humanity into. As the thousands of data points on this site make clear, you’re to be reduced to serfdom, have your travel restricted, and be economically forced off your land, just like the Irish were during the great famine. Of course there are real environmental problems, like the Canadian government okaying mines using freshwater lakes for tailing ponds (the hypocrisy is enormous) but climate change is being used as a trumped up pretext to enact increasingly onerous legislation prohibiting use of resources. Now UNESCO sites and green belts are springing up everywhere as densification becomes part of the new religion of scarcity. Malthus advocated population reduction and a lower standard of living for the poor back in the 19th century, and population reduction and population movement has since become a part of US and UN policy under UN Agenda 21 and National Security Memorandum 200 – written by Henry Kissinger, of all people! We’re marinating in this elitest ideology and we don’t even realize it.

The projects in Norfolk and Cornwall are part of a green package to tackle the climate change threat
An abandoned Norfolk airfield and a cluster of Cornish china claypit villages are to become the first of a controversial new breed of “ecotowns”, offering thousands of new homes built within a cutting-edge eco-friendly community.
The decision will be a blow to villagers who have campaigned against new developments at Rackheath, just outside Norwich, and St Austell in Cornwall. Only Rackheath got a top rating from an independent panel set up to judge the green credentials of the plans, yet it is one of three projects expected to be taken forward by ministers this week.
The ecotowns will form part of a package of green announcements this week which Gordon Brown will argue can help Britain climb out of recession and reduce the threat from climate change. A white paper will propose major changes to the way Britons travel, work and consume in order to meet targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050. Ministers will also set out plans to reduce pollution by investing in rail electrification – leading to faster trains – and in electric cars, as well as exploring new sources of fuel.
Thousands more troops could be sent to Afghanistan within months under an emergency review of the UK mission being carried out by the Ministry of Defence.
