spot was worth $300,000 per year. This reckless ICLEI proposal would have bankrupted several local
small business owners. Those alert to AGENDA 21 defeated the proposal. They also defeated the local
government's attempt to only employ Waste Management, a financial contributor to ICLEI,
which would have bankrupted two locally owned trash businesses.”

4. HAS YOUR TOWN FALLEN FOR THE “VISIONING” PROCESS?

It’s about artificial consensus (the absence of disagreement) instead of actual voting.

Cleverly trained “facilitators” are creating artificial smart growth consensus in your
community to justify imposing Sustainable Development, by conducting “visioning
meetings” with a select group of “stakeholder” citizens who supposedly reflect the true
“vision of the community. Of course, an outside Smart Growth NGO, environmentalists and social
justice advocates are lurking over the meetings. The visioning technique, the resulting “visions list”
and the planning outcomes are nearly the same in every place it is conducted, as intended by the
AGENDA 21 template.

This technique conforms to the President’s Council on Sustainable Development “We Believe”
statement number 8:

“We need a new collaborative decision process that leads to better decisions; more rapid change; and
more sensible use of human, natural, and financial resources in achieving our goals.”

“Visioning techniques are designed to indoctrinate
you with a pre-determined viewpoint while giving
you the impression that your input was taken and
that you crafted the plan. This is manufactured
consensus.”

“Smart Growth meetings across the country at the local level tout “consensus building” where the
outcome has already been decided by a small group of “visioning” experts paid by non-governmental
organizations with funds to burn from various federal government agencies, including the U.S. Park
Service. The method used by the “visioning” experts is the Delphi technique developed by the Rand
Corporation during the Cold War era as a mind-controlling tool, a “consensive process.” The
technique was used to lead a targeted group to a pre-determined outcome, while maintaining the
illusion that the public had open input.”

Here’s a classic Delphi meeting at a Granite State “visioning meeting” in New Hampshire.

“Despite local visioning councils and consensus-building stakeholder meetings, sustainable
communities are the result of deliberate, top-down government management of local communities.
There is no other way to explain the fact that virtually every county’s comprehensive
