Alert! Alert! A serious warning has just come in from Denver, everyone. According to Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes, the city’s pro-bike programs are spinning the mile high city into the clutches of UN Control! According to the Denver Post, no doubt itself already under control of the New World Order, Maes recently lashed out at Denver’s participation in the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, a 1,200-city association that promotes sustainable policies like Denver’s communist bike program bike sharing system.
Maes warned supporters at a rally that the sustainability group, which Denver has supported since 1992, will turn Denver into a “United Nations community.” “At first, I thought, ‘Gosh, public transportation, what’s wrong with that, and what’s wrong with people parking their cars and riding their bikes? And what’s wrong with incentives for green cars?'” said Maes. “But if you do your homework and research, you realize [the group] is part of a greater strategy to rein in American cities under a United Nations treaty.”
The Post attached this poll to the article:
Obviously the Post is tiptoeing around the real issues here. Take our poll to save Portland and, perhaps, the world.
Does bike riding infect cities with the scourge of communism?

The US has veto power on the security council, the only way the UN is going to do ANYTHING in the US is if our government specifically agree to it in the action first place. You learn that in middle school social studies. As such anyone that blames anything that happens in this country on the UN is either a complete idiot, or so paranoid to be classified as mentally ill. (It you don’t like something, that is fine, but at least point at the right person.)
Currently on the Denver Post poll (highly scientific): 17% of crazies and trolls are voting “Very Seriously.”
Republitards. The UN is just another bogeymen used to manipulate their mouth-breather base.
I like the UN. They are a large, lumbering organization, sometimes incompetent, and sometimes crucially effective. I fear Congress more. For an interesting look at some less than competent efforts, see “Emergency Sex and Other Desperate Measures” on failed peacekeeping missions.
I like their blue helmets. So pretty!
Wait…Terry Parker is running for governor of Colorado?

And on the flip side, if the US actually DID want to use bike infrastructure to have the UN take us over, China has veto power. And China is alllllll about the automobile.
Ironic that all the posts I’ve seen seem to represent the coercive collectivist veiw. I hate wallmart, think big oil sucks,and think bikes are great! However your narrow scope here negates the very fact that most of the “New world order” is addmited and well verified fact! The Coucil on foreign relations and its many members state no less quite openly! The UN can barely wipe its own ass people, and do you really think I give a rats ass what the likes of Robert Muggabe thinks about human rights in the USA? Get real! End corperate wellfare, screw the UN and let’s get on with the minimalist attempt of being a libertarian Constitutional nation! Left/ Right diatribes do nothing except feed the emotional needs of dramaqueens of both genders, this while essential facts and realities remain unchanged! Like for example “gun control” which is in fact “people control”, has roots and history in racism,slavery , and genocide throughout history! The hypocrytes amongst us who claim a motive of peace? In actuallity by way of collective insanity, and a refusal to accept either reality or personal responsibillity would in fact create a bloodbath! What’s all that have to do with a bike program? Well what’s senate bill 1619 have to do with it? Howabout Agenda 21? What about Rex 84, Operation Cable Splicer, Agile Provider? Then there is The Civillian Internment Labor Program- The North American “Free”Trade Union- The WTO GAT Nafta! Globalism is allready crushing you under its Jackbooted heel when you so much as peacefully gather to protest! Yet you make fun of the fears of your fellow Americans? Usefull Idiots indeed! I think bike programs in Denver are gr8! But google up the “Art” at denver International Airport! And I’d prefer not to ride my bike past a f-ing surveillance camera atop every light post in town! PS Anti Gun is in reallity PRO CIVIL WAR- 😉 Get over it and think for yourselves!
