Go to the UD Sustainable Coastal Community Initiative Meeting in Lewes
The Sustainable Coastal Community Initiative is meant to be a project where the University of Delaware offers its expertise to help the state’s coastal region to identify its long-term challenges and to work with those communities to develop preferred solutions. The website link here will give you lots more information. There was a community meeting on this project in late August where the 9-12 Patriots unsheathed their tin foil to disrupt this meeting. There is another meeting tonight, and another expectation that these people will show up to disrupt it again. From our anonymous tipster:
I understand that the Delaware 9-12 Patriots, who proudly disrupted a meeting of invited residents for a Cape Regional planning last month, and made headlines at the Cape Gazette, is planning to overtake/interrupt a meeting that UD planners are doing for the Lewes Library tomorrow evening, at the request and behest of Lewes Library on Wednesday, Sept. 26. at 6 p.m. “What do you geek?” This group is nuts, and bent on preventing a dialogue they feel is part of an “Agenda 21” plan.
Would be nice to see some friendlies there.
El Som points to the specific tinfoil-hattedness coming from a local GOP candidate for the Senate. Needless to say, the UD’s effort doesn’t come wrapped in tin foil, but in some intentions to make sure that the coastal area maintains some quality of life. If you live in the area, please consider going to this meeting and help outnumber the crazies who are working only at feeding their conspiracy theories. Some people might be bamboozled by the silly Agenda 21 stuff, but you shouldn’t be. And if you go, come back and report on what is going on!

“The University of Delaware Sustainable Coastal Communities (SCC) Initiative is an approach to address growth, land use, and environmental impacts in southern Delaware …by subjugating local populations to World Government control administered by the United Nations on behalf of the Rothschild family and the trilateral commission.”
Sounds sinister. Of course you have to read between the lines to pick up on the second part of the mission.
If Twitter is any indication, the 9-12 Patriots disrupted another meeting, loudly broadcasting from their tin foil hats.
These people have serious psychological problems.
I was at the meeting. It was not a meeting regarding regional planing, but was a meeting of a long term project by the libraries (State library partnered with local libraries) to try to find out what interests people in order to do a better job of providing programs in the libraries. See http://lib.de.us/geek
I was also, ironically, at the earlier meeting that was about the coastal community initiative. The 912 people’s issues at that meeting were at least logical. It was about land use planning and there’s a legitimate discussion to be had. Though their approach is unpleasant.
But this was simply a meeting about what interests people and what the library should offer. The “patriots” expressed concern about the *State* libraries having control over local libraries. Really. The state Librarian controls very little. She’s just trying to help.
What bugs the crap out of me is that the city of Lewes, and the Lewes community and library, were represented tonight by a group the majority of which only wanted to talk about libertarian politics. If this meeting were all that the library folks heard, the library would become a center of libertarian constitutional study.
One woman suggested that that is needed because there’s a terrible focus on the arts, the environment and other “unimportant” subjects. Fuck me!
I spoke up. I tried to counter-balance. And some of the libertarian folks were respectful and moderately open minded. But more than a few were exactly the sort of smug, dismissive bullies that they claim now run the government.
Sad. We need to get more real people out to these meetings. The Patriots spread the word by phone tree, so it was hard to know in advance. I’m hoping more people from the community will come ou to meetings and provide balance.
Libraries are the narrow edge of the Agenda 21 wedge.
