This might be the last such conference due to the unknown events that are shaping up faster than ever before in mankind’s history. Most of these events are catastrophic in nature that mankind has no ready solution(s). Most critical are the United Nations’ Agendas 2021 and 2030 that are being forced upon unsuspecting community members across the United States. Videos on the internet show near riots between the community members and the presenters of Agenda 2021 i.e. the heartfelt opposition of having their private lands taken away without just compensation and their way of life destroyed and yet this conference on basic human rights and rights of their properties is being discussed at this scheduled conference? It doesn’t make any rational sense–in fact these two Agendas do not make any sense! How can communities be replaced by high-rise apartments in chosen locations of this country and forced to live in them. The conferees should question what impact Executive Order 13603 will play on this conference agenda as well. It is apparent our leadership are not even aware of the current environment we are in and the woes we will all be facing.
