State lawmakers in Missouri last week revived an effort to
significantly curtail local planners’ ability to adopt the type of smart-growth
policies long touted by urban developers, demographers, and climate scientists.
The bill, which sailed through the state’s lower chamber this past Monday,
represents the latest victory for a onetime fringe movement that has spent the
past two decades slowly gaining traction among conservatives by warning of an
actual, real-life U.N.-orchestrated global takeover.
The
specific target of the Missouri legislation may be well-known to heavy
consumers of conservative media, but most Americans have probably never heard
of it: Agenda 21, a nonbinding resolution that was signed by President George
H.W. Bush and 177 other world leaders at the end of the United Nations’ 1992
Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. The effort was hailed at the time as an
important, albeit voluntary, action plan to promote sustainable development in
the face of a rapidly expanding global population, but ultimately failed to
become much more than a feel-good Democratic talking point back in the United
States. In 2012 a full 85 percent of Americans didn’t know enough about the
U.N. resolution to have an opinion on it, according to a poll commissioned by the American Planning Association
that summer.
My
Take - This article was written
to make a mockery of those who the author - and many others - call 'conspiracy
theorists' regarding Agenda 21 and decry their efforts in attempting to prevent
its implementation. The picture is typical of an attempt to make anyone who
believes Agenda 21 is dangerous to freedom is a loon. However we should try and understand that a theory is substantiated by facts. Let’s review.
First of all Agenda 21 really
does exist. He says so in the article
when he states;
“Agenda 21, a nonbinding resolution
that was signed by President George H.W. Bush and 177 other world leaders at
the end of the United Nations’ 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro.”
So he acknowledges the
existence of Agenda. This wasn’t made up
by a bunch of loons. Right? He also states;
“The effort was hailed at the time as
an important, albeit voluntary, action plan to promote sustainable development
in the face of a rapidly expanding global population…..”
So the author acknowledges
Agenda 21 exists and it is an “action plan”.
And what is this “action plan” supposed to do? Promote sustainable development, which is one
of the most indefinable terms ever utilized by the green/left. That will be an evolving term in the minds of world globalists, making it mean anything they want it to mean.
So, how is this “voluntary” program going to
work? First it's necessary to convince the western world via the
media with mocking articles such as this – which is right out of Saul Alinsky’s
Rules For Radicals to denigrate, humiliate and isolate those against Agenda 21 –
that worldwide population growth is out of control, CO2 levels are so dangerous
the world is going to burst into flames, worldwide poverty can only be overcome
by adopting Agenda 21, get more women involved in government and the entire host
of the leftist agendas that promotes utopia.
And how is this utopian world to come into being? By adopting this ‘voluntary’ program called
Agenda 21. And just who does he think is
going to run and administrate it if it isn’t the U.N.?
He attempts to paint those
against Agenda 21 as irrational scaremongers because they claim Agenda 21 would
“culminate with the seizure of land and guns, and an end to the American way of
life.”
Well, why is that such
deranged thinking? Those are stated
agendas in various treaties with the U.N. today. They want to control guns, they want to be
able to seize private property in favor of animals and even insects – remember this
is only an issue in the U.S. where private property rights is foundational to
the American way of life – and we already face this kind of attack on Constitutional
rights via the Endangered Species Act, Clear Water Act, Clean Air Act, via agencies such as the EPA, BLM, and the Wildlife Service. “Voluntarily” adopting Agenda 21 will clearly
give the U.N. the authority and responsibility to do this, probably via these already oppressive
agencies that are already destroying the American way of
life. So why are those opposing Agenda 21 irrational since it’s already happening?
Make
no mistake about this. Once local
governments “voluntarily” adopt Agenda 21 it will no longer be “voluntary”, it
will be compulsory and that will end local government authority over their own
jurisdictions because the way this stuff works is – once you’re in you’re never
allowed to back out – and all control will then go to activists and bureaucrats,
which will be categorized as “stakeholders”, another term used by the
green/left to confuse the public, because the locals will not be allowed in the
decision making process thereafter. They
won’t even be allowed to vote these plans out. This already exists under the UN
run World Heritage Sites scheme, does
anyone think it would be less
virulent under Agenda 21.
And make no mistake, globalists like the Bush’s
have been working to make Agenda 21 happen incrementally. In 2005 a huge and oppressive new U.N.
bureaucracy was proposed “Dubbed the
“Strategic Approach to Global Management of Chemicals” or SAICM.
“SAICM would attempt to regulate
basically all substances in commerce–manmade and natural–and would attempt to
manage all the world’s solid and hazardous waste. And in time, it could easily
spill into other areas–air and water."
“If you read the
documents published by SAICM
negotiators, you might think you are reading Al Gore’s 1992 book, Earth in the Balance, in which he
proposed making the environment the “central organizing principle for
civilization.” In the chapter titled “A Global Marshall Plan,” Gore outlines a
utopian vision for a “Strategic Environment Initiative” through which world
regulators could effectively “discourage and phase out” supposedly
“inappropriate technologies and the same time develop and disseminate a new
generation of environmentally benign substitutes.”
Then there’s the
LOST treaty, which would turn complete authority over the world’s oceans to the
U.N.
This one world government
theme isn’t a theory, it’s a plan, and this scheme has been going on for
decades incrementally imposing laws, treaties and international standards on
the U.S. that are identical to the goals
as outlined in Agenda 21.
The author states that these
anti-Agenda 21 provisions would force local governments “to cut ties with
everyone from the Kiwanis Club to the Girl Scouts”. Well, that’s merely hyperbole, but even if it
does – so what?
He states that “in
2012 a full 85 percent of Americans didn’t know enough about the U.N.
resolution to have an opinion on it”, but when people like Fox
News’ Eric Bolling and Glenn Beck – whom he categorizes as “rabble
rousers”, started publically talking
about it the mood in the country changed.
It would appear the more people did learn about Agenda 21 the more they
realized just how – as was stated in the 2012 Republican National
Committee platform – it was “erosive of American sovereignty."
So we return to the main question. Why is it those opposing Agenda 21 are conspiracy
theorists? Agenda 21 does exist! It clearly is an insidiously planned scheme
to overturn rights as outlined in the U.S. Constitution! It clearly will be administered by the U.N. And as Jacques Chirac said when he was president of
France when discussing the Kyoto Accords regarding Global
Warming, “this is the first step in global governance”.
These are all provable facts, which are foundational to a theory. This isn't scaremongering - it's scary!
The beginning of wisdom is coming to the
realization that the left lies. Lies of commission
and lies of omission! This article is full of lies of omission. I have attempted to show these concerns aren’t
the rantings of insane “theorists”, but the final implementation of programs
that already exist or have been proposed.
