Public Comments <br /> a. Matters not on the Printed Agenda <br /> Don O'Leary apologized for past accusations he had made toward the Board. He said <br /> he assumed through the pattern of events that the Board was intelligently involved with the <br /> UN's curriculum and was in partnership with selling out the County. He said that he now <br /> believes that the Board was led into ICLEI through lobbying efforts. He said he assumes that <br /> a spark of enlightenment is kindled now. He reviewed his own history of belief and said that <br /> he now knows that the current and past world leaders and ruling families were and are <br /> Luciferians. He said that these families fund many foundations to demoralize the United <br /> States. He said these same powers founded the UN and are demoralizing and bankrupting <br />
