In this episode, the Common Core Diva Lynne Taylor joins me to expound on the latest concerning the push for 15-minute cities, or if you follow Donald Trump, freedom cities, but the reality is that they are all smart cities which will be used to control, track and surveil the people.

1) Published in 2022, the United Cities and Local Governments published a document titled: “The Right to the City as an Accelerator for the Implementation of the New Urban Agenda” (first attachment) This short document packs a punch to our guts in regards to not only our existence as citizens residing in cities, but how to kowtow to the 15 minute city plans, usurping ALL public services (while education isn’t mentioned, it will be lumped in with a public service.
3) The 2024 publication from the MDPI (an online platform which publishes scientific articles), this bombshell, “Religion Matters: Religion and the SDGs”. Here’s the link to access the article (you have the option to download it, so the audience can access it) https://www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/15/3/337. This plan contains 7 dimensions and will embed them into faith based organizations, including schools.
5) Somewhat tied to #4 is the 3rd Attachment. It centers on the Universal Declaration of Ethical Principles for Psychologists.

This also may open eyes to the fact that governments use manipulative psychology on We the People daily.
6) The “Social Contract for Education” from UNESCO is the 4th Attachment. It’s 186 pages and can be downloaded to share with the audience. In this paper, this new contract must include social justice, environmental justice and use education to strengthen the ‘common good’. Education is mentioned well over 1,000 times. The quote on page 91 of the PDF should feature a quote about being trapped at home, but school was freeing.
