TX Sen Candidate Ted Cruz Spouts Paranoid Fantasy About UN/George Soros Conspiracy To Eliminate Golf

In an article that would appear to be a poorly-executed parody of Texas Senate candidate Ted Cruz’s (R) right-wing beliefs it Cruz had not posted it on his own website, the Tea Party stalwart touts a truly ridiculous conspiracy theory about George Soros secretly partnering with the United Nations to come into our cities and eliminate our right to play golf:

In 1992, the United Nations adopted Agenda 21 to “achieve a more efficient and equitable world economy,” outlining a process to eliminate environmental decay and social injustice through micromanaging industries, communities, and culture. They will meet again next year to discuss its “progress” in over 100 nations.

The originator of this grand scheme is George Soros, who candidly supports socialism and believes that global development must progress through eliminating national sovereignty and private property. He has given millions to this project. But he is not the only one promoting this plan; in fact, the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) now consists of over 600 cities in the United States.

Agenda 21 attempts to abolish “unsustainable” environments, including golf courses, grazing pastures, and paved roads. It hopes to leave mother earth’s surface unscratched by mankind. . . . Agenda 21 subverts liberty, our property rights, and our sovereignty.

LOL!

Found this on Facebook where a guy posted this comment:

Agenda 21 is being implemented in small steps here already. George Soros is a well known, documented billionaire that wants to make the world meet his ideal conditions. Non-binding means nothing if there are factions within our govt that want to implement it. This is something to be wary of - it's only crazy to not be afraid of what's already being done and what the long term consequences could be. Don't call somebody crazy just because y'all aren't as informed.


I replied:

I'm very well-informed. And this is inane.
