Here’s how Freedomworks has become a place for tea party, hard-right supporters and Agenda 21 foes to “connect,” and it’s gaining steam with political activists in our rural community.
FreedomConnector includes a “news feed” slanted against you-know-who for President, as well as interactive maps that let users connect to other like-minded people in their region, post their views, organize events and more.
Congressman Tom McClintock, among others, has created local events on this site.
Agenda 21 opposition is heating up locally. One recent post out of Truckee read: “I purchased 10 copies of Ross Korie’s book “Behind the Green Mask,” which details her experience fighting UN Agenda 21 in Santa Rosa. I give them out to people I think may be in positions to squash this evil plan here in Truckee.”
“Documenting and exposing stealth attacks by Agenda 21ers,” another local one read.
In Silicon Valley, there’s a group called “CEOs for Liberty.”
Here’s the latest news from the FreedomConnector “news feed”:

Jeff,
I write about this stuff all the time. The John Birch Society (started by a Koch) is the parent group of the TP (started by Koch bros. and Freedomworks).
The right is extremely well funded, organized, are experts on marketing, and are anti-democratic in practice and mantra.
ALEC is another anti-democratic unaccountable to the people organization that has had huge negative ripple effects throughout our nation (authors of shoot first laws Trayvon Martin and the Voter ID laws). When money/ political power is the end game, those who are true capitalist understand a long term investment of a tens of millions will realize tens of billions in return. I encourage you to research Lewis Powell Memorandum to try and grasp the full scope and reach of this multi-armed corporate coup de’ tat.
Here is a good clip of Chris Hedges and Lawrence Lessig on the subject of corporate rule and what can be done to reverse the perversion of the US Constitution/ Government and the American society as a whole.

The John Birch Society also is raising a ruckus about Agenda 21: http://www.jbs.org/
Of course they are, If you look at some key conservative groups and websites such as drudge you will find the same talking points you find at the JB Society, Freedom Works, Heritage, CATO, and sadly on George, Russ, and Todd’s blogs. It shows the reach of such ideas despite no proof of ever working anywhere on the planet (their economic views of course). The Chicago/ Austrian School of economics, which are technically different but extremely similar in many ways. Where ever they are tried signs of feudalism arise and huge segments of the population suffers.
