City leaders belong to AIC which is a member of NLC, that in turn brings UN and WEF agendas down to the local level. This is a standard method used by global entities to entrap our elected officials, feeding them the global agenda under the fallacy of &#8220;best practices&#8221;. Even worse, it is altering and destroying our form of governance through elected representation. How can elected officials listen to citizens when they have all of this propaganda in their heads? Is it no wonder citizens are so exasperated? Is it no wonder there is so much talk about stopping this only to be labeled domestic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fbi.gov\/file-repository\/fbi-dhs-domestic-terrorism-definitions-terminology-methodology.pdf\/view\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">terrorists<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/18\/2385\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">threatening<\/a> us for exercising our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archives.gov\/founding-docs\/declaration-transcript\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">duty<\/a> to throw off such Government? Funny, it really sounds like the description of a domestic terrorist fits AIC and NLC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It must be difficult for elected officials, being led into the den of deceit, possibly unaware and in the dark about the true agenda behind what they are being told, or maybe just being glad their responsibility for decisions can be determined by an outside entity, or maybe they believe in this ideology that destroys our country.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is critical to meet with your Mayor and Council members to discuss AIC influences in their decisions. Demand they exit the AIC. For elected officials, it is time to recognize your responsibility to listen to citizens, they are the experts on how they want their city and community to function, not globetrotting organizations and corporations. Don&#8217;t take any money that advances these ideologies, and that is exactly what ARPA funding does. Installing 5G broadband is at the foundation of this agenda, the very key that will impact everything because of its data gathering capability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to the citizens who elected you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the prior article, The Great Reset Is Local, money given to counties from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) is meant to implement the World Economic Forum (WEF) Great Reset Initiative, a devastating plan to destroy lives around the world.
