UN Agenda 21 Confirmed


Matt Grocott, San Carlos, CA Vice Mayor on UN Agenda 21

Posted on July 30, 2014 Written by Matt Grocutt, San Carlos Vice Mayor

By way of back­ground, the fol­low­ing ques­tion was emailed to Matt Gro­cott, Vice Mayor of San Car­los, Cal­i­for­nia (men­tioned in our post Let­ter: Bil­lion­aires and U.N. agen­das on July 28). Matt has served on the City Coun­cil since 2001. Sue Lem­pert writes The Daily Fetch, a news blog cov­er­ing the San Mateo/Silicon Val­ley area. Would that all our local gov­ern­ment offi­cials were as informed, and will­ing to truly rep­re­sent and serve their constituents!

Dear Mr. Grocott,

Your name was men­tioned in Sue Lempert’s col­umn about a week ago in ref­er­ence to iclei and UN Agenda 21. I under­stand that all this high den­sity hous­ing, retail & office is in ref­er­ence to this Agenda 21. So local gov­ern­ments approve these projects and are not sub­ject to a vote by its cit­i­zens? I won­dered why/how these projects got approved. I heard El Camino will be reduced to 2 lanes for cars and one lane for mass tran­sit North & South. Is this true accord­ing to Agenda 21? Your response would be appreciated.

Matt replied:  Hello ____–

I am glad you took note of the topic that Sue Lem­pert raised when she inter­viewed me for her col­umn. It is not a topic many peo­ple are edu­cated on or know much about. Even Sue, who has been involved in local gov­ern­ment for decades, claimed not to know any­thing about it. Not too sur­pris­ing, given the com­plex­ity of the plans and machi­na­tions of how it is all being brought to reality.

To com­ment briefly, yes, the HD hous­ing over office/retail, placed along a tran­sit cor­ri­dor, fol­lows a blue­print laid out by the United Nations and ICLEI. If you use the inter­net to search top­ics like the Rio Sum­mit, Agenda 21, ICLEI, sus­tain­able devel­op­ment, you can find out more than you might imag­ine on the topic.

Local gov­ern­ments approve Gen­eral Plans that fol­low the guide­lines of Agenda 21 and they approve projects, yes. The orga­ni­za­tion of local gov­ern­ment does not require a vote of the peo­ple to approve; your vote comes into play when you vote for your coun­cil mem­bers at the city level and at the county level, your board of supervisors.

By the way, the state is also involved in numer­ous ways. For exam­ple, Sen­ate Bill 375 and Assem­bly Bill 32 are both pieces of leg­is­la­tion that fol­low the Agenda 21 blue­print. Take it up a notch and you will also find work­ings of the same in other states and in the fed­eral government.

If you query politi­cians, plan­ners, etc, about the United Nations, Agenda 21, ICLEI, etc, you will usu­ally get a blank stare or a denial that they know any­thing about it. If you look up my name on the inter­net, specif­i­cally on YouTube, you will find a coun­cil meet­ing where I was chal­leng­ing our city’s mem­ber­ship is ICLEI. Dur­ing the dis­course I had with our then Assis­tant City Man­ager, you will find a denial of know­ing, as I men­tion above. It is typ­i­cal. Also denied is any influ­ence that the United Nations or ICLEI has on state and local gov­ern­ment. But if you look at the evi­dence of what is hap­pen­ing, denial is not plausible.

Lastly, regard­ing the EL Camino, there is a plan­ning doc­u­ment being pro­duced that has been in the works for at least ten years. It is known as the Grand Boule­vard Ini­tia­tive or GBI. It does call for bus tran­sit lanes and bike lanes. In many cities along the El Camino, to achieve those goals, the vehi­cle lanes would need to be reduced unless the cities were to use emi­nent domain to increase the right-of-way. The Grand Boule­vard Ini­tia­tive also fol­lows the Agenda 21 blueprint.

Thanks for writ­ing and seek­ing.
