This is the “federal” push, to go along with the U.N. Marxist assault directly into the localities and “regions” of America and the world, through soviet-style planning councils and the enforcement of their extra-constitutional codes.

EXCLUSIVE: EPA Ponders Expanded Regulatory Power In Name of ‘Sustainable Development’

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency wants to change how it analyzes problems and makes decisions, in a way that would give it vastly expanded power to regulate businesses, communities and ecosystems in the name of “sustainable development,” the centerpiece of a global United Nations conference slated for Rio de Janeiro next June.

The major focus of the EPA thinking is a weighty study the agency commissioned last year from the National Academies of Science. Published in August, the study, entitled “Sustainability and the U.S. EPA,” cost nearly $700,000 and involved a team of a dozen outside experts and about half as many National Academies staff.

Its aim: how to integrate sustainability “as one of the key drivers within the regulatory responsibilities of EPA.” The panel who wrote the study declares part of its job to be “providing guidance to EPA on how it might implement its existing statutory authority to contribute more fully to a more sustainable-development trajectory for the United States.”

Or, in other words, how to use existing laws to new ends.

They will not rest or sleep until they accomplish their grand green goals of environmental sustainability – which will come at an enormous expense to America in particular. The father of environmental sustainability was Heinrich Riehl, an anti-Semitic German green of the 1800’s who provided much fodder for the Nazis during the 1930’s. Another edition of his 3 volume set “The Natural History of the German People” was re-published for the German Army in 1944. The German Army needed to reminded of why they were fighting on the Russian front – to obtain lebensraum, or living space – a native habitat suitable for the cultural development of the natural Aryan man.
