Is sustainable development global governance? ~ By Henry Lamb

Of course, I'm crazy, Glenn Beck is crazy, and even Henry Lamb is crazy, for even thinking such a thing: Global governance is already here!

What? You mean you didn't know? If not, perhaps you haven't been watching or listening to Glenn Beck or reading Henry's columns.

Following is a great documentary video of about 4 minutes in length by Henry Lamb that describes sustainable development:

June 1, 2010 - Sustainable Development or Sustainable Freedom?

So are you still ready to send me and my cohorts, Glenn and Henry, to intervention? Well, if so, then I guess you better watch this next video. Because if you still think Glenn, Henry and I are completely insane, then we haven't yet united to see where "social justice" is taking this country and hopefully stop the "Transformation" of America. I hope maybe this next video will keep you thinking about that. Just sayin'...

American governments have lost faith in freedom and in free markets. American governments are hell-bent on controlling the use of land by private citizens, controlling the education of private citizens, controlling the health care of private citizens and, ultimately, controlling every other facet of human life.

This is sustainable development. This is the essence of global governance.

Americans must decide whether to live free, or to live under the politically correct sustainable-development regime defined by global governance.

Betty Perry was not concerned about sustainable development or global governance; she simply wanted to save money when she decided not to water her lawn. It was, nonetheless, a decision that landed her in jail. Orem, Utah, like most other American communities, has been caught up in the sustainable-development craze.

The sustainable-development process is this:

• Government provides grants for planning bureaucrats and/or non-government organizations to conduct a "visioning" procedure in a city, county or other defined geographical area.

• The visioning facilitator selects the "stakeholder" participants who will create the vision.

• The vision, when adopted by consensus, identifies goals that almost always reflect the recommendations set forth in Agenda 21.

• The vision document becomes the basis for a comprehensive plan to achieve the goals.

All of this is done by a small group of agency bureaucrats and NGO staff, with just enough "stakeholder" participation to allow the group to claim that it is a "bottom-up" vision. When the plan is complete to the satisfaction of the bureaucrats, it is presented for approval to the elected governing officials.

These plans often embrace a series of extremely detailed "International Codes," which can require that people water their lawns as frequently as government thinks the lawns should be watered.

Sustainable development is government's implementation of the U.N.'s Agenda 21, and Agenda 21 is 40 chapters of policy recommendations that affect virtually every facet of human life. Therefore, sustainable development is government's management of human life according to the recommendations set forth in Agenda 21.

The first goal of sustainable development is government control of land use. The 1976 United Nations Conference on Human Settlements declared that "Public control of land use is … indispensable." The conference then developed 65 pages of very specific recommendations for governments to use to achieve the control of land use.

Many of those recommendations found their way into Agenda 21, which recommended that each nation create a national mechanism for implementing sustainable development. President Clinton obliged in 1993 by issuing an executive order that created the President's Council on Sustainable Development. It is through this mechanism that Envisioning Utah and literally thousands of similar "visioning" operations spread across the nation.

In its wake are countless communities with comprehensive plans that allow government to manage the affairs of its citizens, even to the point of prescribing when a private homeowner must water her lawn.

If global governance is "… the framework of rules, institutions, and practices that set limits on behavior of individuals, organizations, and companies" (U.N. Development Report, 1999, p. 34), then sustainable development certainly qualifies as a significant part of global governance.
