Agenda 21 In One Easy Lesson ~ By Tom DeWeese

Hide Agenda 21’s UN roots from the people

Participating in a UN advocated planning process would very likely bring out many of the conspiracy- fixated groups and individuals in our society… This segment of our society who fear ‘one-world government’ and a UN invasion of the United States through which our individual freedom would be stripped away would actively work to defeat any elected official who joined ‘the conspiracy’ by undertaking LA21. So we call our process something else, such as comprehensive planning, growth management or smart growth.” - J. Gary Lawrence, advisor to President Clinton’s Council on Sustainable Development.
A few days ago, I mentioned Agenda 21 to somebody, and was told, "Well, yes, I've heard of that, but I really don't know what it is."  Not long after, I came across this column.  That's one of those coincidences that make you say, "Hmmmm." 

The time is right for me to bring this story back up.  It has been nearly five years now since this was published, and yet, despite Tom DeWeese's effort to help us to make this information widely available, well... Guess what?  People are still unaware.  I'm afraid that we could say that most people are clueless, really.  That gives me a very uneasy feeling, especially considering the quote above that I pulled from this story.  Really, believe me, "they" do NOT want you to know the roots of Agenda 21, let alone, the intended goals.

I emphasized "they" above for one simple reason:  To know WHO is to know WHY!  The good news is that I've kept my archive of posts open to the public for years.  There are so many posts on this blog where Agenda 21 has been discussed, you would learn a lot from those related posts.  In this column, Tom DeWeese provides you with many of the key words that can assist you in learning more just by doing a Google search.  But even before you get to doing that, check out what I've included over the years.  You can do a search on the label Agenda 21, but I found a treasure of information by searching this blog for Agenda 21

Be assured that whatever happens in November 2016 will either be influenced by those that want to continue with their desire to globalize their authority, or by those of us that want to keep our national sovereignty and our FREEDOM.  Just remember that KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!  My work is done here.  Just sayin'...



Agenda 21 In One Easy Lesson

Awareness of Agenda 21 and Sustainable Development is racing across the nation as citizens in community after community are learning what their city planners are actually up to. As awareness grows, I am receiving more and more calls for tools to help activists fight back. Many complain that elected officials just won't read detailed reports or watch long videos. "Can you give us something that is quick, and easy to read that we can hand out," I'm asked.

So here it is. A one page, quick description of Agenda 21 that fits on one page. I've also included for the back side of your hand out a list of quotes for the perpetrators of Agenda 21 that should back up my brief descriptions.

A word of caution, use this as a started kit, but do not allow it to be your only knowledge of this very complex subject. To kill it you have to know the facts. Research, know your details; discover the NGO players in your community; identify who is victimized by the policies and recruit them to your fight; and then kill Agenda 21. That's how it must be done. The information below is only your first step. Happy hunting.

What is Sustainable Development?

According to its authors, the objective of sustainable development is to integrate economic, social and environmental policies in order to achieve reduced consumption, social equity, and the preservation and restoration of biodiversity. Sustainablists insist that every societal decision be based on environmental impact, focusing on three components; global land use, global education, and global population control and reduction.

Social Equity (Social Justice)

Social justice is described as the right and opportunity of all people “to benefit equally from the resources afforded us by society and the environment.” Redistribution of wealth. Private property is a social injustice since not everyone can build wealth from it. National sovereignty is a social injustice. Universal health care is a social justice. All part of Agenda 21 policy.

What could be bad about 'sustainability'? ~ By Henry Lamb

Sustainable development as defined in Agenda 21, regardless of how it is repackaged and resold, must be rejected at every level of government.

The purpose of government is not to redistribute wealth. The purpose of government is not to protect the environment. The purpose of government is to protect the inalienable rights of its citizens, and to defend those citizens from all enemies both foreign and domestic. When government fulfills this purpose, every person has an equal right to pursue personal happiness to the maximum extent of his abilities. No person is entitled to the wealth of another, regardless of Agenda 21 or any other U.N. declaration. Any person whose property or environment is damaged by another is entitled to recover those damages in court. This, too, is a legitimate function of government.

Activity that is, and is not, sustainable should be determined by nature, not by government. Sustainability is just the latest disguise government is using to shroud its incessant quest to control its citizens.

"And an unknowing public drinks the progressive Kool-Aid." Those are the words that Henry Lamb wrote in his column that has led me to choose it for review in this blog. I will do my best to explain why those words are so vital in fitting the information Henry provides us with into the bigger picture of the puzzle.

In order to illustrate my point, it will take more than just this column. I do not normally do this, but this column, which Henry wrote a week ago, will be followed up by my discussion of this week's column by Henry.

Clearly, a new Facebook friend, Danna Reubin, had it right, when she wrote on a group post the following:

Some Newspeak (see: Orwell, Gorege 1984) feel free to add to the list:
  • Gun Collection: Arsenal of Weapons
  • Swamp: Delicate Wetlands
  • Illegal Alien: Undocumented Worker
  • Synthetic Fiber: Cruelty-Free Materials
  • Well-protected: Heavily Armed
  • Righteous: Narrow-minded
  • Coerced Theft: Taxes / Your Fair Share
  • Gun Confiscation: Commonsense Gun Control
  • Stump Removal Powder: Illegal Hazardous Explosives
  • Unborn Baby: Nonviable Tissue Mass
  • Socialism: Equal Access to Opportunity
  • High Crime Area: Multicultural Community
  • Marxism: Fairness / Social Progress
  • Self-Employed: Upper Class / "The Rich "
  • Big Government Scheme: Progressive, Change
  • Bums /Welfare Leeches: Homeless or Disadvantaged
  • Scoped Deer Rifle: Sniper Rifle
  • Higher Taxes: Investment For the Future
  • Socialized Medicine: Healthcare Reform
  • Conservative: Extremist, Judgmental, or Hater
  • Homeschoolers: Truants
  • Criminal or Lazy Good-For-Nothing: Victim or Oppressed
  • Standard Capacity Magazine: High Capacity Magazine
  • Church-going: Religious Zealot
  • Employer or Land Owner: Exploiters / "The Rich "
  • NRA Members: The Gun Lobby
  • Semi-Auto (Grandpa's M1 Carbine): Assault Weapon
  • New Taxes and Higher Taxes: Fiscal Stimulus
  • Chinese Mercury-Laden Light Bulbs: Mandated Eco-Friendly Lighting
Do you get the idea? Words are twisted, and re-defined, for a purpose.  I believe that you will discover the purpose when you read Henry's column, "What could be bad about 'sustainability'?

Well, here's my plan: I'm publishing this because I want to make sure that there will be no "unsuspecting official who still thinks Agenda 21 is just a conspiracy theory and that the word 'sustainable' means 'acceptable' to the green lobby." That is part of the point that Henry Lamb makes in his next column, which you will soon read about in, "Government termites." There must not be any reason - no excuse - for an elected official to claim "ignorance" of what is now public knowledge. "Sustainable development" is being exposed as just another way for your freedom to be gnawed away by those that want to run your life. I'm just sayin'...

What could be bad about 'sustainability'?

Editor's note: Listen to this column online.

To ordinary people, the word sustainable is an adjective that means the activity the word describes can continue forever. For example, since biblical days, farmers practiced sustainable agriculture by leaving their fields fallow every seventh year. In early America, farmers knew that for agriculture to be sustainable, the same crop could not be planted in the same field year after year. Sustainable agriculture has always been practiced by successful farmers. Farmers who didn't practice sustainable agriculture inevitably failed.

The United Nations has given the word sustainable a new definition. Introduced to the world in "Our Common Future," the report of the 1987 U.N. Commission on Environment and Development, and further defined in the U.N.'s "Agenda 21" at the U.N. Conference on Environment and Development, the term "sustainable" was married to the term "development," and a brand new concept entered the world. The term "sustainable development" means any activity that has economic impact, and is equitable, and has no negative environmental impact. All three elements are required to qualify as "sustainable development."

There can be no development without economic impact, of course; nothing new here. "Equitable," however, is a new requirement. Equitable means social justice, which means, as a beginning point, equal benefit from the earth's resources. Progressives have expanded the definition to include such things as a right to housing, health care and a livable wage, but at the very least, equitable means redistribution of wealth from those who have earned it to those who have not. To meet this requirement of sustainable development, government must empower agents to take wealth from one segment of the population and give it to others.

To be sustainable, according to the U.N. definition, development must have no negative environmental impact. This requirement demands a monitor of development activity and a judgment made to determine whether the activity results in a negative environmental impact. This monitor and judge is necessarily some entity empowered by government. Development that fails to meet these requirements is, by definition, not sustainable. Development that meets these requirements is declared by government to be sustainable.

Therefore, sustainable development is government-approved development.

In the context of sustainable development, any activity government describes as sustainable must be a government-approved activity. Sustainable agriculture, despite the fact that agriculture has been practiced sustainably since biblical days, must now be government-approved to enjoy the sustainable label. Government has now applied the word sustainable to communities, which means that for a community to be sustainable it must be government-approved.

Proponents of sustainable development, inside and outside the government, downplay this fundamental element of sustainable development. Instead, they tout the benefits to the environment of sustainable programs that promote recycling, renewable energy, conservation and the like. And an unknowing public drinks the progressive Kool-Aid.
