SOUNDS LIKE SCIENCE FICTION...OR SOME CONSPIRACY THEORY...BUT IT ISN'T.
UN
Agenda 21/Sustainable Development is implemented worldwide to inventory
and control all land, all water, all minerals, all plants, all
animals, all construction, all means of production, all information, and all human beings in the world. INVENTORY AND CONTROL.
Have
you wondered where these terms 'sustainability' and 'smart growth' and
'high density urban mixed use development' came from? Doesn't it
seem like about 10 years ago you'd never heard of them and now
everything seems to include these concepts? Is that just a
coincidence? That every town and county and state and nation in
the world would be changing their land use/planning codes and government
policies to align themselves with...what?
First,
before I get going, I want to say that yes, I know it's a small world
and it takes a village and we're all one planet etc. I also know
that we have a government of the people, by the people, and for the
people, and that as cumbersome as that can be sometimes (Donald Rumsfeld
said that the Chinese have it easy; they don't have to ask their people
if they agree. And Bush Junior said that it would be great to
have a dictator as long as he was the dictator), we have a three branch
government and the Bill of Rights, Constitution, and
self-determination. This is one of the reasons why people want to
come to the US, right? We don't have Tiananmen Square here,
generally speaking (yes, I remember Kent State--not the same, and yes,
an outrage.) So I'm not against making certain issues a priority, such
as mindful energy use, alternative energy sponsorship, recycling/reuse,
and sensitivity to all living creatures.
But then you have UN Agenda 21. What is it? See our videos and radio shows at the bottom of this page (or search YouTube for Rosa Koire) or buy BEHIND THE GREEN MASK: U.N. Agenda 21 by Rosa Koireclick here
Considering
its policies are woven into all the General Plans of the cities and
counties, it's important for people to know where these policies
are coming from. While many people support the United Nations for
its peacemaking efforts, hardly anyone knows that they have very
specific land use policies that they would like to see implemented in
every city, county, state and nation. The specific plan is called
United Nations Agenda 21 Sustainable Development, which has its
basis in Communitarianism. By now, most Americans have heard of sustainable development but are largely unaware of Agenda 21.
In
a nutshell, the plan calls for governments to take control of all land
use and not leave any of the decision making in the hands of private
property owners. It is assumed that people are not good stewards
of their land and the government will do a better job if they are in
control. Individual rights in general are to give way to the needs
of communities as determined by the governing body. Moreover,
people should be rounded up off the land and packed into human
settlements, or islands of human habitation, close to employment centers
and transportation. Another program, called the Wildlands Project
spells out how most of the land is to be set aside for non-humans.
U.N.
Agenda 21 cites the affluence of Americans as being a major problem
which needs to be corrected. It calls for lowering the standard of
living for Americans so that the people in poorer countries will have
more, a redistribution of wealth. Although people around the world
aspire to achieve the levels of prosperity we have in our country, and
will risk their lives to get here, Americans are cast in a very negative
light and need to be taken down to a condition closer to average in the
world. Only then, they say, will there be social justice which is
a cornerstone of the U.N. Agenda 21 plan.
Agenda
21 policies date back to the 70's but it got its real start in 1992 at
the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro when President Bush signed onto
it. President Clinton signed it later and continued the program
in the United States. A non-governmental organization called the
International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives, ICLEI,
is tasked with carrying out the goals of Agenda 21. Over 600
cities in the U.S. are members; our town joined in 2007. The costs are
paid by taxpayers.
It's
time that people educate themselves and read the document and related
commentary. After that, get a copy of your city or county's
General Plan and read it. You will find all sorts of policies that
are nearly identical to those in U.N. Agenda 21. Unfortunately,
their policies have advanced largely unnoticed and we are now in the end
game. People need to identify their elected officials who are
promoting the U.N.'s policies and hold them accountable for their
actions. Only when we've identified who the people are and what
they are trying to do will we be able to evaluate whether or not we
approve of the policies they are putting forward. Some people may
think it's appropriate for agencies outside the United States to set our
policies and some people will not. The question is, aren't
Americans able to develop their own policies? Should we rely
on an organization that consists of member nations that have different
forms of governments, most of which do not value individual rights as
much as we do? It's time to bring U.N. Agenda 21 out in the open
where we can have these debates and then set our own policies in
accordance with our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Ok, you say, interesting, but I don't see how that really affects me. Here are a few ways:
No
matter where you live, I'll bet that there have been hundreds of condos
built in the center of your town recently. Over the last ten
years there has been a 'planning revolution' across the US. Your
commercial, industrial, and multi-residential land was rezoned to 'mixed
use.' Nearly everything that got approvals for development was designed
the same way: ground floor retail with two stories of residential
above. Mixed use. Very hard to finance for construction, and
very hard to manage since it has to have a high density of people in
order to justify the retail. A lot of it is empty and most of the
ground floor retail is empty too. High bankruptcy rate.
So
what? Most of your towns provided funding and/or infrastructure
development for these private projects. They used Redevelopment
Agency funds. Your money. Specifically, your property
taxes. Notice how there's very little money in your General Funds
now, and most of that is going to pay Police and Fire? Your street
lights are off, your parks are shaggy, your roads are pot-holed, your
hospitals are closing. The money that should be used for these
things is diverted into the Redevelopment Agency. It's the only
agency in government that can float a bond without a vote of the
people. And they did that, and now you're paying off those bonds
for the next 45 years with your property taxes. Did you know that?
And by the way, even if Redevelopment is ended, as in California,
they still have to pay off existing debt--for 30 to 45 years.
So, what does this have to do with Agenda 21?
Redevelopment
is a tool used to further the Agenda 21 vision of remaking America's
cities. With redevelopment, cities have the right to take property by
eminent domain---against the will of the property owner, and give it or
sell it to a private developer. By declaring an area of town 'blighted'
(and in some cities over 90% of the city area has been declared
blighted) the property taxes in that area can be diverted away from the
General Fund. This constriction of available funds is impoverishing the
cities, forcing them to offer less and less services, and reducing your
standard of living. They'll be telling you that it's better,
however, since they've put in nice street lights and colored
paving. The money gets redirected into the Redevelopment Agency
and handed out to favored developers building low income housing and
mixed use. Smart Growth. Cities have had thousands of condos built in
the redevelopment areas and are telling you that you are terrible for
wanting your own yard, for wanting privacy, for not wanting to be
dictated to by a Condo Homeowner's Association Board, for being
anti-social, for not going along to get along, for not moving into a
cramped apartment downtown where they can use your property taxes for
paying off that huge bond debt. But it's not working, and you
don't want to move in there. So they have to make you. Read
on.
Human habitation, as it is referred to now, is restricted to
lands within the Urban Growth Boundaries of the city. Only certain
building designs are permitted. Rural property is more and more
restricted in what uses can be on it. Although counties say that
they support agricultural uses, eating locally produced food, farmer's
markets, etc, in fact there are so many regulations restricting water
and land use (there are scenic corridors, inland rural corridors,
baylands corridors, area plans, specific plans, redevelopment plans,
huge fees, fines) that farmers are losing their lands altogether.
County roads are not being paved. The push is for people to get off of
the land, become more dependent, come into the cities. To
get out of the suburbs and into the cities. Out of their private
homes and into condos. Out of their private cars and onto their
bikes.
Bikes. What does that have to do with it? I
like to ride my bike and so do you. So what? Bicycle
advocacy groups are very powerful now. Advocacy. A fancy
word for lobbying, influencing, and maybe strong-arming the public and
politicians. What's the conection with bike groups? National
groups such as Complete Streets, Thunderhead Alliance, and others, have
training programs teaching their members how to pressure for
redevelopment, and training candidates for office. It's not just
about bike lanes, it's about remaking cities and rural areas to the
'sustainable model'. High density urban development without
parking for cars is the goal. This means that whole towns need to be
demolished and rebuilt in the image of sustainable development.
Bike groups are being used as the 'shock troops' for this plan.
What
plan? We're losing our homes since this recession/depression
began, and many of us could never afford those homes to begin
with. We got cheap money, used whatever we had to squeak into
those homes, and now some of us lost them. We were lured,
indebted, and sunk. Whole neighborhoods are empty in some places.
Some are being bulldozed. Cities cannot afford to extend services
outside of their core areas. Slowly, people will not be able to afford
single family homes. Will not be able to afford private
cars. Will be more dependent. More restricted. More easily
watched and monitored.
This plan is a whole life plan. It
involves the educational system, the energy market, the transportation
system, the governmental system, the health care system, food
production, and more. The plan is to restrict your choices, limit
your funds, narrow your freedoms, and take away your voice. One of
the ways is by using the Delphi Technique to 'manufacture consensus.'
Another is to infiltrate community groups or actually start neighborhood
associations with hand-picked 'leaders'. Another is to groom and
train future candidates for local offices. Another is to sponsor
non-governmental groups that go into schools and train children.
Another is to offer federal and private grants and funding for city
programs that further the agenda. Another is to educate a new
generation of land use planners to require New Urbanism. Another
is to convert factories to other uses, introduce energy measures that
penalize manufacturing, and set energy consumption goals to pre-1985
levels. Another is to allow unregulated immigration in order to
lower standards of living and drain local resources.
All
of this sounds unbelievable until you have had direct experience with
it. You probably have, but unless you resisted it you won't know
it's happening. That's why we'd like you to read our blog 'The Way We See It' (click here). Go
to the section in the blog (look on the right side under Categories)
called Our Story. You'll get a look at how two unsuspecting
people fell into a snake pit and survived to tell about it.
