STEVE ALLEN OCTOBER 26, 2019
WARNING!
This article is very upsetting as it reveals the true intentions of the Democrats as they attempt to seize power by illegally removing a duly-elected, sitting President. The new President will institute the following principles which spells the end of of America.
I’ll bet you didn’t know and never heard that Rep. Sheila Lee and 43 Democratic co-sponsors have introduced a bill, HR 1111, that gives away the United States to the United Nations. This bill completely destroys the Constitution, seizes guns, takes control of schools and healthcare and effectively disarms the USA.
Before I lay out the horror of this bill, I want you to think about the following facts; this bill was introduced in January of 2019, but it was never voted on. In fact, in a very rare move, this bill has received absolutely no action. Yet, the bill remains in “active status.”
This is very strange and secondly, this same bill was introduced in 2015 by essentially the same Democrats. This begs the question why the Democrats would introduce the same radicalized bill, twice, and then refuse to act upon it?
The dates of these 2 similar bills is key to understanding the motivation for these unconstitutional practices contained in this bill. The first version, which was introduced in 2015, came just before a general election in which Hillary Clinton was to be elected in 2016.
This bill would have given Hillary the powers enumerated below and the bill was kept in “stoppage of the normal flow” until the bill could be acted upon under a favorable President. The 2019 bill has the same goal. We now know that the Russian delusion, the Ukrainian delusion were both planned before Trump even took office. The 2019 version of HR 1111 is awaiting the removal of Donald Trump from power and the election/coronation of Hillary Clinton.
WARNING!
The following paragraphs contain excerpts from the bill.
If anyone wonders if the Democrats are truly in the midst of overthrowing the government, this should remove all doubt!
H.R. 1111: Department of Peace-building Act of 2019This first part of the bill is the preamble and perceived relevant history. Please note that in paragraph 10, there are multiple references to the United Nations, “Children of the World”. UN and sustainable development goals.
Please note in paragraphs 11 and 12, there are references to UN peace-building, Earth Commission, Earth Charter, and the stated reference of building a just and “global society”. The Congress was elected to protect the people of the United States, NOT serve the needs and desires of the United Nations. In fact, Genesis 1:26 says:
Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule overthe fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
The language in the following paragraphs is directly describing the UN religion named GAIA. Gaea (/ ˈ dʒ iː ə / JEE-ə), is the personification of the Earth and one of the Greek primordial deities.

The language in the following paragraphs is directly describing the UN religion named GAIA. Gaea (/ ˈ dʒ iː ə / JEE-ə), is the personification of the Earth and one of the Greek primordial deities.
Gaia, also spelled Gaea, is the personification of the Earth and one of the Greek primordial deities. Gaia is the ancestral mother of all life: the primal Mother Earth goddess. GAIA seeks to undo God’s Word and establish the following dominion: Earth, Animal, Fowl, Fish, Man. Based on the following, the bill is promoting Satanic values.
(5) Every year more than 300,000 people are killed by gun violence around the world. In 2017, nearly 40,000 people died in the United States as a result of gun violence; the highest number of gun deaths in nearly 50 years. The rate of deaths—12 fatal shootings per 100,000 residents—is also at the highest point since the mid-1990s.
Approximately 20 veterans a day commit suicide nationwide. Every day, 47 children and teens are shot, and each gun injury and fatality results in trauma to family members and loved ones. More people have died from guns in the United States since 1968 than on battlefields of all the wars in United States history.
(10) The United Nations recognizes that promotion of peace is vital for the full enjoyment of all human rights and the United Nations Declaration on the Right of Peoples to Peace mandates that preservation of the right to peace is a fundamental obligation of each country.
In 1999, the United Nations adopted a Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace, stating that a culture of peace is an integral approach to preventing violence and violent conflicts, an alternative to the culture of war and violence, and is based on education for peace, the promotion of sustainable economic and social development, respect for human rights, equality between women and men, democratic participation, tolerance, and the free flow of information and disarmament.
The United Nations declared the years 2001 through 2010 an International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World, and the United Nations supports a culture of peace. In 2015, the UN adopted 17 sustainable development goals, including promotion of peaceful and inclusive societies.
(11) Peace-building is defined by the United Nations as a range of measures targeted to reduce the risk of lapsing or relapsing into conflict by strengthening national capacities at all levels for conflict management and to lay the foundations for sustainable peace and development.
Peace-building is built upon research into the root causes of violence in the United States and the world, through promotion and promulgation of effective policies and programs that “ameliorate” (to make better or more tolerable) those root causes of violence, and through providing all citizens, organizations, and governmental bodies with opportunities to learn about and practice the essential tools of nonviolent conflict resolution and peace-building.
The following section of HR 1111, clearly establishes that the 10th Amendment is going to be obliterated. This amendment allows for a virtual separation of powers so that the Federal government does not become all-powerful. This section also neuters the Christian religion because it mandates the complicit acceptance of all life-styles. Also, there is a thinly veiled disarming of the American military present in the following section.
Section 102. Responsibilities and powers
(1) developing new policies and supporting existing policies that effectively address personal and family violence, including suicide, domestic violence, spousal abuse, child abuse, and mistreatment of the elderly;

(e) Human security responsibilities
The Secretary shall address and offer nonviolent conflict resolution strategies and suggest resources for unarmed civilian peacekeepers to the appropriate relevant parties on issues of human security if such security is threatened by conflict, whether such conflict is geographic, religious, ethnic, racial, or class-based in its origin, derives from economic concerns, or is initiated through disputes concerning scarcity of natural resources (such as water and energy resources), food, trade, or climate and environmental concerns.

Respecting the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America and the requirement for free and independent media, the Secretary shall--
(2) study the role of the media in the escalation and de-escalation of conflict at domestic and international levels, including the role of fear-inducing and hate-inducing speech and actions, and making the findings of such study public; and
(3) make recommendations to professional media organizations in order to provide opportunities to increase media awareness of peace-building initiatives. (Propaganda)
(g) Educational responsibilities
The Secretary shall--
(1) with the support of, and in consultation with, the “United States Institute of Peace,” develop a peace education curriculum that includes studies of—
(C) the patriarchal structure of society (ie anti-male) and the inherent violence of such structure in the shaping of relationships and institutions;

(2) assist countries (This is the takeover over of the US by the UN), international agencies, and nongovernmental organizations in assessing the locations of the buildup of nuclear arms and other weapons of mass destruction;
The Assistant Secretary for Peacebuilding Information and Research shall--
(1) commission or compile studies on the impact of war and other types of violence, especially on the physical and mental condition of children (using the 10-point anti-war agenda in the United Nations Children’s Fund report, State of the World’s Children 1996, as a guide) that shall include the study of the effect of war on the environment and public health;
The following paragraph provides for the communist-style redistribution of resources. (5) conduct economic analyses of the scarcity of human and natural resources as a source of conflict and make recommendations to the Secretary for nonviolent prevention of such scarcity, nonviolent intervention in case of such scarcity, and the development of programs to assist people facing such scarcity, whether due to armed conflict, misdistribution of resources, or natural causes;
This dormant bill hands off the United States to the control of UN policy. It seizes control of every aspect of the government. It erases the separation of powers and opens the door for the emergence of a dictator. That dictator was supposed to have been, and still very well could be, Hillary Clinton. This is the end of America.
No matter what you may have against President Trump, or what you don’t like about him, he will not allow this insidious takeover of America. We better keep him in the White House!
(5) Every year more than 300,000 people are killed by gun violence around the world. In 2017, nearly 40,000 people died in the United States as a result of gun violence; the highest number of gun deaths in nearly 50 years.

- (12) In 2000, the Earth Charter Commission released the Earth Charter, an international declaration of fundamental values and principles created to build a just, sustainable, and peaceful global society. The preamble of the Earth Charter provides, To move forward we must recognize that in the midst of a magnificent diversity of cultures and life forms we are one human family and one Earth community with a common destiny. We must join together to bring forth a sustainable global society founded on respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice, and a culture of peace.. Peace-building is working together with all countries to protect both life and land and hold the Earth in balance.

Fairfax County,
Virginia Presents Dire Warning to America

Virginia Presents Dire Warning to America
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/10/
fairfax_county_virginia_presents_dire_warning_to_america.html
My home county of Fairfax, Virginia was once a safe suburban area with some of the best performing public schools in the nation. It's now a blinking warning sign to America as it hangs on the edge of complete disaster thanks to unchecked immigration and Democrat takeover of the government.
Even with the high concentration of government workers, Fairfax County was once a Republican bastion before it became a political battleground. The Bush/Cheney ticket won the county in a close race in 2000 and then lost it badly in 2004 due to a significant increase in Democrat votes.
Fairfax's descent into its current state started with a wave immigration, much of it illegal, into the area which washed away Republican political viability.
Fairfax County became a nullification (sanctuary) county in 2018 and now puts a significant chunk of money into its budget to defend noncitizens from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, although the problem started long before that. By 2015, 30% of the county was foreign-born.
MI-13, a brutal criminal gang, is now more active than ever, and the once marquee schools have started what will be a long slide through mediocrity to abysmal.
Fairfax just ranked seventh among the highest-crime sanctuary jurisdictions, ranking just below Chicago and tied with a nearby Maryland county that has had at least nine illegal alien sexual assaults since its sanctuary policy was declared in late July. That's staggering. Fairfax County now is on a list of shame with Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, and San Francisco.
Even apart from the rapidly deteriorating safety, the schools are sinking under the fiscal and social costs. It costs on average $15,283 to educate each of the 188,000 students in the county. That's an enormous bill, and the cost for limited–English proficiency students is likely about $10,000 higher per student.
Back in 2015, when the problem was nowhere near as acute as today, nearby Alexandria County spent over 45% of its instructional funding on limited English proficiency students.
In this context, flooding the county with noncitizens who are contributing little tax revenue must result in worse schools and far higher taxes. It's a mathematical certainty.
But the flood of new residents achieved its primary purpose, which was to make the ground here far more hospitable for Democrat politicians. Nearly 12,000 county residents were in deportation proceedings late last year, which the county is vigorously fighting in the interest of political power.
This once Republican bastion is now a no man's land for Republicans. On the single greatest day of 2016, Donald Trump was way ahead in Virginia with most of the vote counted. But anyone who dared to hope that this was still a battleground state was in for a rude awakening when the votes from the northern Virginia counties were added to the tally.
Virginia is gone. The only difference between Virginia and California is in the shade of blue. The state will trend ever darker blue barring a significant change in the voting patterns of the newer residents.
The dominoes continue to fall. Fairfax fell early, even as neighboring Prince William County remained in Republican hands. But that county is also now in deep trouble, and other dominoes will spread out from there, county by county. This is the same path that Texas is on, only it is a little farther behind.
The Democrat votes brought a Democrat school board, along with local county leadership. This meant the adoption of a policy framework called "One Fairfax" in November 2017.
"One Fairfax" is representative of what is happening across the country. A constellation of groups with backers like George Soros are active across America, subverting local governments and education. As the Daily Caller noted, these groups are already active in 33 cities and counties, covering 10% of Americans.
The "One Fairfax" name brings to mind Sauron's one ring to rule them all from The Lord of the Rings. Like that ring, One Fairfax is intended to destroy all dissent or resistance and to force absolute subservience and surrender. The key buzzword used to squash dissent is "equity," which is intended to shut down debate.
All policies are now looked at through the rubric of race and the liberal conception of social justice with the goal of absolute political power. Liberals use friendly terms like "equity" to hide their true goal, which is a complete reshaping of the county in a Marxist image, where the only thing that matters is some conception of equality of outcomes.
One can almost envision the superintendent holding a map and redrawing lines, muttering, "My precious."
The social engineering leftists of the school board were secretly plotting to redraw district lines for the express purpose of achieving equal racial balance across the schools, to include reinstituting failed busing schemes of yesteryear. They were only temporarily thwarted in this agenda when county residents grew wise to their scheme and stormed their meeting.
There is scant attention paid to actually improving the schools and equipping the teachers to deal with the challenges created by failed policies. My wife is a teacher in the county and brings home horror stories beyond belief. The teachers, who all must attend equity training, have little authority to discipline increasingly unruly kids, some of whom barely speak English, even as class sizes grow.
Even as the teachers face incredible challenges due to the bad policies that wrecked the schools, the school board recently spent an hour debating "International Menstrual Equity" in the belief that what was really hurting student achievement was that girls had to go all the way to the clinic to get free menstrual products and had to conduct a "walk of shame."
This is apparently a dire problem even in elementary schools. Lack of discipline or support in overfilled classrooms? No problem. The lack of tampon Pez dispensers scattered throughout the hallways? Major crisis.
The lens of race is now the primary weapon, even at the local level, used to justify the most corrosive and destructive policies, and anyone who objects to their social engineering schemes is automatically branded as a racist.
Their "race lens" is outrageously racist, since it assumes that some races need their social engineering help. There is little difference between the schools with more resources going to schools in less affluent areas. So they are tacitly arguing that the difference is in the students themselves. They would rather move the students great distances to achieve a racial balance than focus on providing education where they live.
In the politicians' quest for power, the kids and teachers are sacrificed as pawns, left to fend for themselves in failing classes that have been social engineered into lunacy.
Fairfax is our country in a microcosm. What happened here is happening all over America. If we don't reverse the trends, both at the local and national level, the long-term prognosis on America is not promising. While the battle will rage on at the local level, Virginia is lost to the Democrats at the national and soon state level. Other states, to include Texas, aren't far behind.

But the flood of new residents achieved its primary purpose, which was to make the ground here far more hospitable for Democrat politicians. Nearly 12,000 county residents were in deportation proceedings late last year, which the county is vigorously fighting in the interest of political power.
This once Republican bastion is now a no man's land for Republicans. On the single greatest day of 2016, Donald Trump was way ahead in Virginia with most of the vote counted. But anyone who dared to hope that this was still a battleground state was in for a rude awakening when the votes from the northern Virginia counties were added to the tally.
Virginia is gone. The only difference between Virginia and California is in the shade of blue. The state will trend ever darker blue barring a significant change in the voting patterns of the newer residents.
The dominoes continue to fall. Fairfax fell early, even as neighboring Prince William County remained in Republican hands. But that county is also now in deep trouble, and other dominoes will spread out from there, county by county. This is the same path that Texas is on, only it is a little farther behind.
The Democrat votes brought a Democrat school board, along with local county leadership. This meant the adoption of a policy framework called "One Fairfax" in November 2017.
"One Fairfax" is representative of what is happening across the country. A constellation of groups with backers like George Soros are active across America, subverting local governments and education. As the Daily Caller noted, these groups are already active in 33 cities and counties, covering 10% of Americans.
The "One Fairfax" name brings to mind Sauron's one ring to rule them all from The Lord of the Rings. Like that ring, One Fairfax is intended to destroy all dissent or resistance and to force absolute subservience and surrender. The key buzzword used to squash dissent is "equity," which is intended to shut down debate.
All policies are now looked at through the rubric of race and the liberal conception of social justice with the goal of absolute political power. Liberals use friendly terms like "equity" to hide their true goal, which is a complete reshaping of the county in a Marxist image, where the only thing that matters is some conception of equality of outcomes.
One can almost envision the superintendent holding a map and redrawing lines, muttering, "My precious."
The social engineering leftists of the school board were secretly plotting to redraw district lines for the express purpose of achieving equal racial balance across the schools, to include reinstituting failed busing schemes of yesteryear. They were only temporarily thwarted in this agenda when county residents grew wise to their scheme and stormed their meeting.
There is scant attention paid to actually improving the schools and equipping the teachers to deal with the challenges created by failed policies. My wife is a teacher in the county and brings home horror stories beyond belief. The teachers, who all must attend equity training, have little authority to discipline increasingly unruly kids, some of whom barely speak English, even as class sizes grow.
Even as the teachers face incredible challenges due to the bad policies that wrecked the schools, the school board recently spent an hour debating "International Menstrual Equity" in the belief that what was really hurting student achievement was that girls had to go all the way to the clinic to get free menstrual products and had to conduct a "walk of shame."
This is apparently a dire problem even in elementary schools. Lack of discipline or support in overfilled classrooms? No problem. The lack of tampon Pez dispensers scattered throughout the hallways? Major crisis.
The lens of race is now the primary weapon, even at the local level, used to justify the most corrosive and destructive policies, and anyone who objects to their social engineering schemes is automatically branded as a racist.
Their "race lens" is outrageously racist, since it assumes that some races need their social engineering help. There is little difference between the schools with more resources going to schools in less affluent areas. So they are tacitly arguing that the difference is in the students themselves. They would rather move the students great distances to achieve a racial balance than focus on providing education where they live.
In the politicians' quest for power, the kids and teachers are sacrificed as pawns, left to fend for themselves in failing classes that have been social engineered into lunacy.
Fairfax is our country in a microcosm. What happened here is happening all over America. If we don't reverse the trends, both at the local and national level, the long-term prognosis on America is not promising. While the battle will rage on at the local level, Virginia is lost to the Democrats at the national and soon state level. Other states, to include Texas, aren't far behind.
