UN Agenda 21

1. UN Agenda 21 “Agenda 21 is a carefully disguised attempt to hijack the worthy cause of environmentalism in the pursuit of political objectives.”Author, Ron Taylor Presentation created by: Karen Bracken Americadontforget.webs.com Agenda21today.com

2. The 3 E’s of Sustainable Development Environment Nature before man Equity Using the law to reengineer humanity (Social Justice instead of Individual Freedom) Economy International redistribution of America’s wealth Replacement of free enterprise with government/business partnerships

3. UN Agenda 21 Timeline • 1992 George Bush signs agreement in Rio for the Administrative Implementation of Agenda 21 (Bush called it The Plan for One World Order) • 1993 Bill Clinton by EO creates the “Presidents Council For Sustainable Development” • 1996 Sustainable America A New Consensus for Prosperity, Opportunity and a Healthy Environment for the Future (Feb.) • 1997 Counties and Mayors create - Joint Center for Sustainable Communities • 2001 National Governors Assoc. Endorse Smart Growth • 2011 Barrack Obama by EO 13575 creates the “White House Rural Council” • 2012 Earth Summit 20th Anniversary June 4-6, In Rio.

4. General Categories of Agenda 21 • Global Land Use Policy • Wildlands Project • Smart Growth • Global Education Policy • International Baccalaureate • Race To The Top • No Child Left Behind • Global Population Control and Reduction • At its core, Sustainable Development is to reduce human population. • Jacques Cousteau said that 350,000 need to be “eliminated every day for two decades to bring the world’s population into balance!

5. Wildlands Project Published in 1992 in a Special Edition of Earth First. • The elimination of human presence on over 50%+ of the American landscape. Activity on most of the remaining land will be heavily controlled. • “We must make this place an insecure and inhospitable place for Capitalists and their projects - we must reclaim the roads and plowed lands, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers and return to wilderness millions of tens of millions of acres or presently settled land.” Dave Foreman, Earth First. • Mr. Foremen, a former board member of the Sierra Club, and The Nature Conservancy stated, “my three main goals would be to reduce human population to about 100 million worldwide, destroy the industrial infrastructure and see wilderness, with its full complement of species, returning throughout the world.”

7. Smart Growth/Smart Meters Smart Growth - Dense human settlements subject to increasing controls on how we live and increasing restrictions on our mobility. (rails, bikes, walk) Smart Meters - Control and monitor everything you do. When you are home, when you are not home, when you are on vaction. Turn off appliances and lower thermostats. A21 proponents are all about severe restrictions and controls. Caused house fires and unexplained illness. Bills have be increased 3 fold. Plagued with inaccurate readings.

8. NAFTA Super Highway/Tran Texas Corridor - North American Union (I35 and I69) • Governor Perry fought HARD to get this road built • Built by a spanish company (Cintra) and Zachry Construction of TX. This was a $7.2B investment • 12 lane road and rail super highway (4 football fields wide.) • From Canada to So. Mexico • Eliminates the need for customs at the existing borders • The TTC will allow the transport of Chinese goods into the US via Mexico bypassing the more expensive American ports and workers. • No on or off ramps except at ports of entry. The first port of entry is in Kansas City • Critical step in building the North American Union - open borders between Mexico-US-Canada

9. The Trans Texas Corridor • Using the Coordination Process with the help from American Stewards of Liberty (based in TX) and 4 Mayors they were able to prove this road would destroy TX economy and neighborhoods. The construction was stopped! • The bad news - Texas Governor Rick Perry declared at the time, "We'll build it, but we'll just change the name." Now the Corridor, which has always been the cynosure of Perry's transportation policy, is getting a new push. Kelly Holt, The New American 2011

12. What COULD America Look Like in a UN Agenda World? • World population reduced by 80-90% • Abolish private property rights and the middle class • Walkable cities, travel severely restricted • 50%+ of all land will be turned back to Wildlands (Wildlands Project) and heavily controlled activity on most of the rest of the American land. • Global ownership of all resources (fuel, food, water) • Animals will have more rights than humans • Complete government control over every aspect of human life. • Replace Judeo-Christian values with Pantheism • Global economic policy and law • There will be two classes of people: Elite, Serf • Loss of National Sovereignty • Disarmed citizenry • UN Control of the military

13. Children will have no alliance to parents or country • Educate children to be citizens of the world • In the UNESCO program called “United Nations’ Decade of Education for Sustainable Development.” It is their stated goal in this program to steal one generation of children and teach them to place loyalty to the state above loyalty to the family. Once this objective has been realized, it is a simple task to then inculcate the children with the basic tenets of sustainable development. These tenets include: End of national sovereignty Abolition of private property Restructuring of the family unit Restriction of individual mobility and opportunity Abandonment of constitutional rights Relocation of people into smart growth zones

15. What is Unsustainable? • Paved/tarred roads/highways/rails • Logging activities/harvesting timber • Power line construction • Ski resorts/Golf Courses • Fossil fuels • Agricultural equipment • Pesticides/Fertilizer • Grazing of livestock: cows, sheep, goats, horses etc. • Plowing of soil • Building of fences • Dam/reservoirs/straightening of rivers • Single family homes • Industry • Private property • Population Growth • Home Schooling UN Biodiversity Assessment Report

16. White House Rural Council=Agenda 21?Executive Order 13575, June 9, 2011 • Section 1. Policy. Sixteen percent of the American population lives in rural counties. Strong, sustainable rural communities(acceptable by the government - what is not sustainable?)are essential to winning the future and ensuring American competitiveness in the years ahead. These communities supply our food, fiber, and energy, safeguard our natural resources,(It appears as if the government has discovered the rural communities hold an abundance of opportunity that must be controlled. For the rural community controls food, water and many of our most prized land marks. Control the food you control the population (Monsanto is buying up seed companies faster than wecan blink) • and are essential in the development of science and innovation. Though rural communities face numerous challenges, they also present enormous economic potential (for who?).

17. The Federal Government has an important role to play in order to expand access to the capital necessary for economic growth, promote innovation, improve access to health care and education, (stimulus program?? The only way they will improve education, access to health is when you are moved off your rural land and into one of the human settlements) and expand outdoor recreational activities on public lands. (there will be no recreation on rural land because after the government takes the land it will no longer be considered “public”) • The language is deliberately vague - What is rural? Why do rural communities all of a sudden need help from 24+ government agencies? • Valerie Jarrett - sat on the board of Local Initiatives Support Corp (LISC) They use the language of Agenda 21 and ICLEI. The web page details their work is to build “Sustainable Communities” • Melody Barnes - Former VP of George Soros funded Center for American Progress

18. John Holdren - Obama’s Science Czar - Head of the “Green Team” • In a book Holdren co-authored in 1977, the man now firmly in control of science policy in this country wrote that: • Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not; • The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation's drinking water or in food; • Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise; • People who "contribute to social deterioration" (i.e. undesirables) "can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility" -- in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized. • A transnational "Planetary Regime" should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans' lives -- using an armed international police force.

19. Why does the government need to control 16% of the population - because rural America still has control over resources, over our food supply, and they are generally resistant to globalization. • 60% of the land in Utah is owned by the Federal Government. Utah is only 1 area in the world with the largest deposit of clean coal. The other is Indonesia (Why did Obama agree to buy oil from Brazil when we have so much here in America???) One of Obama’s campaign supporters owns the clean coal land in Indonesia. • 28% of the land in FL is already owned by the Federal Government.

20. The Mission Statement also includes 4 functions • Many of these functions use verbiage straight from Agenda 21 • Reference to NGO’s - Non Government Organizations (these are unelected but government funded groups that act like community organizers) ICLEI is one of the well known NGO’s. • Three clicks of the mouse on the ICLEI website and you are staring at their Agenda 21 page • And all of this is paid for with our tax dollars. We are paying for our own demise.

21. The assault on rural America is not new. WHRC just puts a ribbon of respectability on an even nastier regime of regulation and oppression“The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: “I’m from the government and I’m here to help”…Ronald ReaganVilsack’s first order for the WHRC on 7/22/11 - he appropriated $250M to install Smart Meters in rural areasThe Agenda 21 plan, which you may remember was being discussed by the Clinton Administration, is to simply move access to education, jobs, and healthcare to these urban areas, effectively forcing the majority of rural residents to “voluntarily” move.

22. Red Flag Words/Organizations • Visioning/Consensus • Sustainable, Sustainable Development • Federal grant money (always has strings) • Smart Growth, Smart Meter, Smart Grid • Your Town 2020, 2035 etc • ICLEI (International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives • Sierra Club, EPA, USDA, Nature Conservancy, DERM • NGO - Non Government Organizations • Conservation Easements, land trusts • Stakeholders

23. How Do “They” Get In? • ICLEI (International Council of Local Environmental Initiative) Organization that trains and works with local government to implement Sustainable Development. They train local government never to label local programs “Agenda 21” for fear of public backlash. • Education - the goal of education today is to shape attitudes and beliefs not educate. This way people are more easily controlled. The Federal Dept. Of Education has proclaimed 2006-2015 as the “Decade of Sustainable Development Education” • Sell the plan by using warm and fuzzy terminology* • Sell the plan as “Preparing for the future” • Saving the environment for future generations. • Depending on an uninformed citizenry • Delphi method of consensus. The outcome is already determined.

24. Is Agenda 21 In My Neighborhood? • Sustainable Development Plan • Redevelopment Agencies (funded by our property taxes) • Smart Growth Plan • Smart Grid * • Planned High Density Urban Development • Your Town 2020 or 2035 • Pathways (Carroll County, MD) • Member of ICLEI • TN - Nashville, Knoxville, Chatanooga, Cookeville, Hamilton Co., City of Franklin, Gatlinburg, Oak Ridge, Signal Mtn are members of ICLEI

25. What Can WE Do? MICE • Motivate • Investigate • Communicate • Educate

26. Motivate • GET INVOLVED in your City/County Commission. Go to the meetings. • Get others to attend with you • Door to door campaign/rally • Run for office/inspire others to run/get rid of any local City Council/Co Comm that buy into A21. The local government is where the power to stop A21 resides. • Letter writing campaigns • Set up meetings with local and state leaders • Create You Tube videos (be creative) • Get people to support you • File Petition to get APA/ICLEI out of your town.

27. Investigate • Is ICLEI involved in your community? • Does your community have a growth plan? • Know the players • How much will it cost, who will pay for it, who pays for it after the grants run out, what is the return on the investment? • If there are things in the plan you don’t understand make them explain • Become intimate with the details of the plan • No your rights given to you by your creator. In other words know your Constitution and Bill of Rights.

28. Communicate • Attend every meeting and discuss the plan at every meeting • Set up meetings with commission members to discuss the plan and how it relates to Agenda 21. • Form a coalition to lobby local/state and federal leaders. • Attend candidate forums. What is their position on Agenda 21? Will they commit to kick ICLEI out of your community. • TALK TO EVERYONE

29. Educate • Talk to EVERYONE. • Create a hand out. Do neighborhood front door blitzes. • Have a neighborhood movie night. #1 Recommendations - Rescuing a Broken America (Dr. Coffman),Agenda, Invisible Empire, Inside Job, End Game. • Go to americadontforget.webs.com for links to Agenda 21 information. • Google Agenda 21, Wildlands Project, Sustainable Medicine, Biodiversity, Sustainable Development, ICLEI, NGO’s • Educate your commission members. Sustainable Development vs Sustainable Freedom from sovereignty.org is a good publication. Or Understanding Sustainable Development Agenda 21 from FreedomAdvocates.org • Support Nullification, Know your Bill of Rights, Constitution • Billboards, newspaper-TV ads, radio-TV interviews

30. “The 3 Click Challenge” • When your City Council, Mayor or County Commissioners tell you ICLEI is not affiliated with the UN nor do they have anything to do with Agenda 21 ask them to take the “3 Click Challenge.” • Click 1 - from any browser type in www.ICLEI.org • Click 2 - On ICLEI’s site, click on the tab labeled PROGRAMS • Click 3 - Scroll down and you will find AGENDA 21 • http://www.iclei.org/index.php?id-global-themes

32. Did They Really Say That? • “...current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class involving high meat intake, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and work air conditioning, and suburban housing are not sustainable. ”Maurice Strong, Secretary General, U.N. Conference on Environment and Development, 1992. • “Participating in a U.N. advocated planning process would very likely bring out many ... who would actively work to defeat any elected official ... undertaking Local Agenda 21. So we will call our process something else, such as Comprehensive planning, growth management, or smart growth.” 1998 J. Gary Lawrence, a planner for the city of Seattle, and advisor to the President’s Council on Sustainable Development

33. Minor shifts in policy, marginal adjustments in ongoing programs, moderate improvements in laws and regulations, rhetoric offered in lieu of genuine change - these are all forms of appeasement, designed to satisfy the public desire to believe that sacrifice, struggle, and a wrenching transformation of society will not be necessary. Gore, Al, Earth in the Balance. Plume (1993): 274 Generally, more highly educated people who have higher incomes, consume more resources than poorly educated people, who tend to have lower incomes. In this case, more education increases the threat of sustainability. Education for Sustainable Development Guide If we do a really great job on new vaccines, healthcare, reproductive health services, we could lower [the population] by perhaps 10 or 15 percent. -- Bill Gates

34. "Land...cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice; if unchecked, it may become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation of development schemes...Public control of land use is therefore indispensable....”This quote is from the Preamble from the UN Policy on Land (Report of Habitat: UN Nation Conference on Human Settlements)

35. “What everyone likes is the Big victory, you load them cattle trucks for the last time and they go driving off into the sunset and they never come back...but that’s not how you win...you can win a lot more victories by making them pay for what they do...and by making it so expensive in their operation and by making so many changes...that he goes broke, he can’t do it...How you win is one at a time, he goes out of business, he dies, you wait him out, but you win.”Roy Elicker, Attorney, National Wildlife Federation Counsel

36. Individual rights will have to take a back seat to the collective. Harvey Ruvin, Vice Chairman, ICLEI. The Wildlands Project Harvey Ruvin is now the City Clerk in Miami-Dade Co, FL “Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?”Maurice Strong, founder of the UN Environment Programme How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think. Adolph Hitler

37. America Don’t Forget • “Private property and freedom are inseparable.”George Washington • “To give a man his life, but deny him his liberty, is to take from him all that makes his life worth living. To give him his liberty, but take from him the property which is the fruit and badge of his liberty, is to still leave him a slave.”George Sutherland, Associate Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court • “When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic.”Dresden James • “Property must be secured, or liberty cannot exist.”John Adams • “Sustainability has less to do with the environment, and everything todo with economics. It is an attack on capitalism, and an attack on Americas middle class lifestyle.”American Thinker 10/28/09 Carroll Co. Commissioner Richard Rothschild

38. What Successes Have Occurred? • Carroll County, MD - cancelled its membership in ICLEI, removed the entire department set up to implement Sustainable Development (2/11) • Montgomery County, PA - cancelled their membership in ICLEI - Sustainable Development Plan stopped (3/11) • Edmond, OK - after public outcry at a 3/7/11 meeting ICLEI membership was cancelled on (3/10/11). • Bradley County/City of Cleveland - vote on plan delayed (4/11) • South Carolina state Supervisor of the Education (Dr. Zais) refused federal funds for Race To The Top (5/11) • 8 other ICLEI memberships have been cancelled

39. What Abuses of Power Have Occurred • 6/09/11 President Obama passes EO 13575 The White House Rural Council • In Sonoma, CA there are 1500 miles of county roads. The residents have been advised the county will no longer maintain 1350 miles of those roads. The plan is to cut off more and more services to rural communities forcing them to move into walkable cities. • People are being sited for what the city considers junk on their property. • Some cities residents must get a permit to plant a tree or cut down a tree on their own property. • Water has been cut off to the Central Valley in CA • Miami-Dade, FL - farmers and rural homeowners are faced with property be reclassified as Wet Lands • Due to the efforts of American Stewards of Liberty and citizens in TX The Trans Texas Corridor was stopped. I35 was stopped but I69 was renamed and the plan changed and is being constructed.
