  1. Agenda 21’r Observations • 1960 World Population • 3 Billion Humans • 2011 Estimated World Population • 6.9 Billion Humans • Misuse of Natural Resources • Industrialized Countries Consume and Waste Too Much • Current misuse is not sustainable • Problem is world not country based • Individuals are not capable of finding solutions – Humans must be led by groups who are enlightened • Sovereign borders and religions promote discord and discourage global solution • Do You Disagree? • NOT if you’re a proponent of Agenda 21

  2. Support Clean and Sustainable Environment? • Do you want to waste natural resources? • Do you believe that you should leave earth at least as good as you found it? • Either side of Agenda 21 supports clean and sustainable environment

  3. Agenda 21Left or Right Debate? • Democrats support the goals and process of Agenda 21 whereas Republicans do not? • Check: http://www.democratsagainstunagenda21.com/ • Lefties are pro green and Righties are pro carbon?? • Not if you believe in being good stewards of what God’s given us

  4. Agenda 21 Conspiracy? NO If it were, it would be one of the world’s worst kept secrets

  5. Our Founding Documents and Property Rights • Bill of rights • Amendment V - nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. • Declaration of Independence • We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. • Constitution • Amendment 5 - Trial and Punishment, Compensation for Takings. Ratified 12/15/1791. nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

  6. un-a-lien-able = inalienable • The term “un-a-lien-able” is used in order to make it clear, that no lien can be placed upon an individuals rights to freedom.

  7. Private Land Ownership The Vancouver Action Plan 64 Recommendations for National Action Approved at Habitat: United Nations Conference on Human Settlements, Vancouver, Canada 31 May to 11 June 1976 D. Land (Agenda item 10 (d)) Preamble 1. Land, because of its unique nature and the crucial role it plays in human settlements, 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. Social justice, urban renewal and development, the provision of decent dwellings-and healthy conditions for the people can only be achieved if land is used in the interests of society as a whole.

  8. What is Sustainable Development? “Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

  9. Maurice Strong, Secretary General, U.N. Conference on Environment and Development, 1992. (Also known as the Rio Earth Summit, where Agenda 21 was unveiled.) said – “...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.”

  10. The 3 E’s of Sustainable Development • Equity - Using the law to restructure human nature • Economy - The international redistribution of America’s wealth - Replacement of free enterprise with government/business partnerships • Environment - Nature before man

  11. Agenda 21 andRio Declaration on Environment and Development • Agenda 21 preamble - 1.4 • “The developmental and environmental objectives of Agenda 21 will require a substantial flow of new and additional financial resources to developing countries. • Rio Declaration on Environment and Development • Article 8: • “…equity will be achieved through implementation of the international economic order ... and through transfers of resources to developing countries....” -

  12. ICLEI • Local governments gratefully outsource their work to ICLEI ( International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives – Local Governments for Sustainability ). Suggest hiring a“sustainability manager” to coordinate an inter-departmental green team, “to share ideas about how to improve internal operations to make them more consistent with environmentally sound practices.”

  13. The ICLEI Five Milestones for Sustainability The way that Sustainable Development is carried out in local communities around the world is particularly alarming, especially to those who seek accountability in government. Operating within a system of stakeholder councils, organized to give community members a “stake” in the control over property in their neighborhood, proponents of Sustainable Development systematically promote their own ideas and marginalize any local opposition, particularly those individuals who advocate the freedom to use and enjoy private property.

  14. ICLEI has a veritable treasure trove of boilerplate solutions for change agents, enabling them to “identify” problems with the goal of implementing predetermined outcomes that advance Sustainable Development policies.

  16. Conclusion • Our lives, liberty, and right to the pursuit of happiness are unalienable and were granted to us by God. The Constitution of the United States and of Washington recognized this and specifically protect those rights. These rights were not given to us by other men or by governments. • It is the duty of public officials to protect our rights.
