The White House Rural Council

On June 9th, 2011, President Obama signed his 86th executive order. From The Blaze:^[2]

President Obama’s E.O. 13575 is designed to begin taking control over almost all aspects of the lives of 16% of the American people. Why didn’t we notice it? Weinergate. In the middle of the Anthony Weiner scandal, as the press and most of the American people were distracted, President Obama created something called “The White House Rural Council” (WHRC).

Section One of 13575 states the following:

Section 1. Policy. Sixteen percent of the American population lives in rural counties. Strong, sustainable rural communities are essential to winning the future and ensuring American competitiveness in the years ahead. These communities supply our food, fiber, and energy, safeguard our natural resources, and are essential in the development of science and innovation. Though rural communities face numerous challenges, they also present enormous economic potential. The Federal Government has an important role to play in order to expand access to the capital necessary for economic growth, promote innovation, improve access to health care and education, and expand outdoor recreational activities on public lands.

“Sustainable Rural Communities” are code words for the UN plan for Sustainable Development known as Agenda 21. This executive order shows that the government is planning to take full control of food, fiber and energy. They also intend to fully control economic growth, health care and education. Also from The Blaze:

The new White House Rural Council will probably be populated by experts in the various fields that might prove helpful to the folks who live and work outside of large urban areas, right? Well, Tom Vilsack, the current Secretary of Agriculture, will chair the group, but let us review the list of members appointed to serve on this new council – according to the order, the heads of the following groups have been appointed:

• The Department of the Treasury; Timothy Geithner
• The Department of Defense; Robert Gates
• The Department of Justice; Eric Holder
• The Department of the Interior; Ken Salazar
• The Department of Commerce; Gary Locke
• The Department of Labor; Hilda Solis
• The Department of Health and Human Services; Kathleen Sebelius
• The Department of Housing and Urban Development; Shaun Donovan
• The Department of Transportation; Ray LaHood
• The Department of Energy; Dr. Steven Chu
• The Department of Education; Arne Duncan
• The Department of Veterans Affairs; Eric Shinseki
• The Department of Homeland Security; Janet Napolitano
• The Environmental Protection Agency; Lisa Jackson
• The Federal Communications Commission; Michael Copps
• The Office of Management and Budget; Peter Orszag
• The Office of Science and Technology Policy; John Holdren
• The Office of National Drug Control Policy; R. Gil Kerlikowske
• The Council of Economic Advisers; Austan Goolsbee
• The Domestic Policy Council; Melody Barnes (former VP at Center for American Progress)
• The National Economic Council; Gene B. Sperling
• The Small Business Administration; Karen Mills
• The Council on Environmental Quality; Nancy Sutley
• The White House Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs; Valerie Jarrett
• The White House Office of Cabinet Affairs; and such other executive branch departments, agencies, and offices as the President or Secretary of Agriculture may, from time to time, designate. Chris Lu (or virtually anyone to be designated by the 24 people named above)

It appears that not a single department in the federal government was excluded from the new White House Rural Council, and the wild card option in number 25 gives the president and the agriculture secretary the option to designate anyone to serve on this powerful council.
