Local Agenda 21. The U.N. Plan for Your Community By Berit Kjos
<www.crossroad.to>
http://crossroad.to/text/articles/la21_198.html
"...current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle
class - involving high meat intake use of fossil fuels, appliances, home
and work-place air-conditioning, and suburban housing - are not sustainable.
A shift is necessary. which will require a vast strengthening
of the multilateral system, including the United Nations..." 1 Maurice
Strong , opening speech at the 1992 UN Conference on Environment
and Development.
To many well-meaning people Agenda 21 sounds good. This U.N. document,
drafted for the purpose of creating "sustainable societies" and saving the
earth from environmental catastrophes, has been welcomed by nations around
the world. Political, cultural, and media leaders have embraced its alluring
visions of social justice and a healthy planet. Relatively few are willing
to consider the contrary facts and colossal costs.
After all, what could be wrong with preserving resources for the next
generation? Why not limit consumption and reduce energy use? Why not abolish
poverty and establish a global welfare system to train parents, monitor
intolerance, and meet all our needs? Why not save the planet by trading cars
for bikes, an open market for "self-sustaining communities," and single
dwellings for dense "human settlements" (located on transit lines) where
everyone would dialogue, share common ground, and be equal?
The answer is simple. Marxist economics has never worked. Socialism
produces poverty, not prosperity. Collectivism creates oppression, not
freedom. Trusting environmental "scientists" who depend on government
funding and must produce politically useful "information" will lead to
economic and social disaster. 3 Even so, local and national leaders around
the world are following the UN
blueprint for global management and "sustainable communities," and President
Clinton is leading the way. A letter I received from The President's Council
on Sustainable Development states that - In April 1997, President Clinton
asked the council to advise him on: next steps in building a new
environmental management system for the 21st century... and policies that
foster U.S. leadership on sustainable development internationally. The
council was also charged to ensure that social equity issues are fully
integrated ... (Emphasis added)
Many of our representatives are backing his plan. In a 1997 letter
congratulating the Local Agenda 21 Advisory Board in Santa Cruz for
completing their Action Plan, Congressman Sam Farr wrote, The Local Agenda
21 Action Plan not only has local significance, it also will have regional
and national impacts. As you know, the President's Council on Sustainable
Development is beginning Phase III of its work with an emphasis on
sustainable communities.4 (emphasis added) This agenda may already be
driving your community's "development", so be alert to the clues. Notice
buzzwords such as "visioning," "partners," and "stakeholders." Know how to
resist the consensus process. Ask questions, but don't always trust the
answers. Remember, political activists, like self-proclaimed education
"change agents", have put expediency above integrity. As North Carolina
school superintendent Jim Causby said at a 1994 international model school
conference, "We have actually been given a course in how not to tell the
truth. You've had that course in public relations where you learn to put the
best spin on things."5 To recognize and resist this unconstitutional shadow
government of laws and regulations being imposed on our nation without
congressional approval, take a closer look at its history and nature. Agenda
21 This global contract binds governments around the world to the UN plan
for changing the ways we live, eat, learn, and communicate - all under the
noble banner of saving the earth. Its regulations would severely limit
water, electricity, and transportation - even deny human access to our most
treasured wilderness areas. If implemented, it would manage and monitor all
lands and people. No one would be free from the watchful eye of the new
global tracking and information system .
This agenda for the 21st Century was signed by 179 nations at the UN
Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Among
other things, it called for a Global Bio-diversity Assessment of the state
of the planet. Prepared by the UN Environmental Programme (UNEP), this GBA
armed UN leaders with the "information" and "science" they needed to
validate their global management system. Its doomsday predictions were
designed to excuse radical population reduction, oppressive lifestyle
regulations, and a coercive return to earth-centered religions as the basis
for environmental values and self-sustaining human settlements.
The GBA concluded on page 763 that "the root causes of the loss of
bio-diversity are embedded in the way societies use resources." The main
culprit? Judeo-Christian values. Chapter 12.2.3 states that- This world view
is characteristic of large scale societies, heavily dependent on resources
brought from considerable distances. It is a world view that is
characterized by the denial of sacred attributes in nature, a characteristic
that became firmly established about 2000 years ago with the
Judeo-Christian-Islamic religious traditions.
Eastern cultures with religious traditions such as Buddhism, Jainism and
Hinduism did not depart as drastically from the perspective of humans as
members of a community of beings including other living and non-living
elements.6 Maurice Strong, who led the Rio conference, seems to agree. His
ranch in Colorado is a gathering place for Buddhist, Bahai, Native American,
and other earth-centered religions. Yet, while spearheading the
restructuring of the United Nations (see " World Heritage Protection?"), he
also helped design the blueprint for the transformation of our communities.
And in his introduction to The Local Agenda21 Planning Guide, he called
local leaders around the world to "undertake a consultative process with
their populations and achieve a consensus on 'Local Agenda 21' for their
communities."
Achieving that consensus meant painting scary scenarios of a hurting, dying
planet that frighten children, anger youth, and persuade adults to submit to
the unthinkable regulations. (See "Saving the Earth") It means blaming
climate change on human activities and ignoring the natural factors that
have - throughout time - brought cyclical changes in climate, storm
patterns, wildlife migration, and ozone thinning (there has never been a
"hole"). Natural factors you seldom hear about:* the earth's orbit around
the sun * the gravitational pull of the moon (affects tidal forces and
trigger volcanoes which cool the earth and produce El Ninos) * major
volcanic eruptions which affect the ozone layer far more than all human
activity * sunspot activity (times of great solar turbulence which heat the
earth and recurs every nine to thirteen years) * the earth's relationship to
other stars and planets * storm tracks * the earth's magnetic field
(deflects storm tracks) * the annual decrease of stratospheric ozone each
southern winter (our summer) when the sun's seasonal absence prevents
ultraviolet rays from interacting with oxygen and producing ozone. Local
Agenda 21 Chapter 28 of Agenda 21 specifically calls for each community to
formulate its own Local Agenda 21:
Each local authority should enter into a dialogue with its citizens, local
organizations, and private enterprises and adopt 'a local Agenda 21.'
Through consultation and consensus-building, local authorities would learn
from citizens and from local, civic, community, business and industrial
organizations and acquire the information needed for formulating the best
strategies. (Agenda 21, Chapter 28, sec 1,3.)
This tactic may sound reasonable until you realize that the dedicated
"Stakeholder Group" that organizes and oversees local transformation is not
elected by the public. And the people selected to represent the "citizens"
in your community will not present your interests. The chosen "partners",
professional staff, and working groups are implementing a new system of
governance without asking your opinion. They probably don't even want you to
know what they are doing until the regulatory framework is well under way.
You may read in your local paper about "visioning", working groups, Total
Quality Management, and partnership between churches, welfare and social
service agencies, and other community groups. These are clues that, behind
the scenes, the plan is moving forward.
The goals and strategies are outlined in Sustainable America, the report
from our President's Council on Sustainable Development (PCSD). President
Clinton's PCSD is merely one of about 150 similar councils established by
nations around the world, all following guidelines from the United Nations
Commission on Sustainable Development.
The same steps and strategies are detailed in The Local Agenda 21 Planning
Guide: An introduction to Sustainable Development. This "planning framework
for sustainable development at the local level" was prepared by The
International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) in
partnership with the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and the
International Development Research Centre of Canada. Remember, UNEP also
prepared the GBA which supposedly proves the environmental "crisis." Could
there be a conflict of interest here?
ICLEI's step-by-step plan for transforming communities was made available
to reporters during the 1996 UN Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat
II). I started to read my bulky copy on the flight home from Istanbul. I
soon learned how Stakeholders can broaden their working base and still
maintain the original consensus: they simply seek partners who share their
vision. After all, partners who challenge the Stakeholders' ideology would
cause gridlock and slow progress. (Such gridlock is one of many criticism of
the American political system voiced at various global conferences.) The
ICLEI Planning Guide suggests that Stakeholders select two kinds of people
to serve their agenda: (1) ordinary people who don't have "a stake" in the
old system and would expect to gain power by establishing a new political
system, and (2) media, business, political, church, and education leaders
who must be wooed and persuaded to promote the transformation within their
sphere of influence. The following ICLEI list includes both:
A. Community Residents: women, youth, indigenous people, community leaders,
teachers B. Community-Based Organizations: churches, formal women's groups,
traditional social groups, special interest groups C. Independent Sector:
Non-governmental organizations (NGO). academia, media D.
Private/Entrepreneurial Sector: environmental service agencies, small
business/cooperatives, banks E. Local Government and Associations: elected
officials, management staff, regional associations F. National/Regional
Government: planning commission, utilities, service agencies, financial
agencies.7 All participants must embrace the collective vision of a
"sustainable community". They must commit to pursue the three E's of
"sustainable development": Environment, Economy and Equity ± referring to
the UN blueprint for environmental regulations, economic controls, and
social equity.
"Sustainable development is a process of bringing these three development
processes into balance with each other," states ICLEID's Agenda 21 Planning
Guide on page 21. "The implementation of a sustainable development strategy
therefore involves negotiation among the primary interest groups
(stakeholders) involved in these development processes. Once an Action Plan
for balancing these development processes is established, these stakeholders
must each take responsibility and leadership to implement the plan."
Meanwhile, opposing voices must be silenced. "Implementing the 'sustainable
agenda' requires marginalizing critics," says Craig Rucker, Executive
Director of CFACT, a conservative public interest group in Washington, D.C.
dealing with consumer and environmental issues. He explains, distinguished
scientists who disagree with the globalist agenda are ridiculed and said to
speak for conservative interests or industry (whether or not they receive
industry funding) and their scientific arguments are never heard. Some of
these marginalized critics are very distinguished scientists, like Dr.
Frederic Seitz, former president of the National Academies of Science and a
sharp critic of ozone depletion and global warming theories, Dr. S. Fred
Singer, who help establish the satellite and balloon measuring devices to
track global warming, and Dr. Edward Krug, who served on NAPAAP, among
others. Some, like Dr. William Happer were even
fired from their jobs questioning environmental dogma (in his case, on the
issue of ozone depletion). 8
Ignoring these facts, nearly two thousand communities around the world are
following this UN blueprint for change with support from ICLEID - and
subject to its tracking system. Apparently the Santa Cruz model is leading
the way in the United States. Local Agenda 21-Santa Cruz was birthed in 1993
by the local chapters of the United Nations Association and ACTION (Agenda
21 Community Team Work in Operation). The original stakeholders began to
"envision a sustainable future," choose compatible "partners", and organize
the twelve Round Tables which evolved into twelve Special Focus Areas (for
summaries of each plan, read Local Agenda 21, part 2):
1. Agriculture
2. Bio-diversity & Ecosystem Management
3. Education
4. Energy
5. Housing
6. Population
7. Public Health
8. Resources and Recycling
9. Social Justice
10. Toxic Technology & Waste Management
11. Transportation
12. Viable Economy
Each item is linked to special interest groups, non-governmental
organizations, and globalist advocates who have been given authority (by no
elected official) to plan the regulations that will control our lives.
Would you like a glimpse of the special interest groups that guide this
Agenda? Its list of donors and supporters includes feminist, globalist,
environmental, and welfare organizations such as the Sierra Club,
Earthlinks, Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, Greener
Alternatives, Pacific Bell, Peace Child, United Nations Association-USA,
Environmental Ecological Services, Change Management System, Countywide
Joint Task Force on Sexual Harassment, Prevention and Education, and the
Human Care Alliance (about 80 service providers and community groups), and
the Welfare and Low-Income Support Network. Remember, "welfare" means far
more than caring for the needy. Social service leaders tend to push a
socialist agenda and many have little tolerance for Christians who resist
their intrusive family policies. The National Organization for Women (NOW),
The Regional Alliance for Progressive Policy, Women's International League
for Peace & Freedom, and Beyond Beijing (primarily feminists who attended
the 1995 UN Conference on Women) are all part of a Task Force helping
establish the guidelines for the Social Justice (Equity) and welfare branch
of the Agenda. According to Local Agenda 21-Santa Cruz, their focus is the
exploration of viable means to "alleviate the violence of poverty." To
eliminate poverty and to create the laws and incentives that will establish
environmental, social and economic "equity", the people must embrace the new
paradigm (or world view). They must accept the new global values touted by
the GBA and learn to see social issues from a global perspective.
"Local efforts should focus on community education and outreach, grassroots
organizing, and monitoring the impacts of federal welfare reform
implementation," states Santa Cruz' Local Agenda 21 Action Plan. Indeed,
life-long education is the heart of the agenda. Who would willingly give up
cars, private back yards, and freedom to hike in local forests unless they
share a vision that's worth the sacrifice?
The agenda for education. In the fall of 1994, President Clinton's Council
on Sustainable Development (PCSD) came to the Presidio - the former army
base in San Francisco that now houses the Gorbachev Foundation USA and
dozens of other globalist and environmental organizations networking with
the United Nations. Here, overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, they met with
The National Forum on Partnerships supporting Education about the
Environment.
Their joint report, "Education for Sustainability," became a model for
sustainable education. According to the Santa Cruz Action Plan, it focused
on 6 themes:
1. Interdisciplinary approaches
2. Lifelong Learning
3. Systems thinking (See "World Heritage Protection?)
4. Partnerships
5. Multi-cultural perspectives
6. Empowerment
To understand these terms and the new international education system they
represent, you may want to read Brave New Schools. Those who don't realize
that today's change agents hide globalist ideology behind traditional words,
can easily be drawn into the web of deception by the noble sentiments. These
arguments from the Education section of Santa Cruz Local Agenda 21 show how
persuasive their propaganda can be to an unsuspecting public:
In light of the current world situation. including the obvious degradation
of the global ecosystem, population crisis, out breaks of violence. there is
an obvious need for education that puts forth a clear vision of a whole
system of ecological thinking. In recent years, there has been a great deal
of emphasis on environmental education and nature studies, but little has
been done to teach about eco-efficiency, sustainable lifestyle practices,
and the worldwide movement concerning sustainable development.
The overall understanding is that we must learn from nature how to create
sustainable communities--- observing: interdependence and organization, form
and substance, the pattern of life, cooperation and partnership, and
diversity.
.A broader perspective (beyond schools) must be encouraged, including
proactive learning opportunities throughout the community. Educational and
rewarding volunteer opportunities exist throughout SCC. Most Americans are
ill equipped to make the lifestyle changes necessary to turn the degradation
around. Our collective experience over time has shown that knowledge alone
does not necessarily change behavior and incite people to action. Support
structures and incentives are also needed.
This UN directed education plan has already become familiar to many of us.
The international system - built on the UNESCO goals that our government
embraced with the introduction of America 2000 and the adoption of Goals
2000 - has already transformed our schools. Listen to these familiar
policies listed in the Local Agenda 21.
Educational systems encourage relevant, experiential learning and promote a
sustainable, healthy life for all beings. Students embrace. global
interdependence and the need to adopt fully sustainable practices locally
and globally.. Focus is placed on teaching how to learn and how to enjoy
learning. This involves:
1. Cooperative learning in groups which is learner-directed, empowering and
participatory 2. Development of an integrated core curriculum at all levels
which emphasized the theme of unity and interdependence of humanity, all
species and the Earth. 3. Student participation in developing their own
curriculum 4. Mixed age groups in the learning process Learning that seems
"democratic" (in contrast to authoritative) and cooperative (in contrast to
individual) is key to winning the consent of the masses. All ages must
participate, and each group member becomes accountable to the group - and to
the politically correct "science" information used by the trained
facilitator to move the dialogue toward the "right" choices and actions. Few
realize the extent of the manipulation. (Add quote on behavior
modification?)
In the Soviet Union, this Hegelian dialectic (consensus) process was used
to shift the loyalties of Soviet children from absolute truths to the
evolving soviet ideology. Today it is used in American schools, communities,
and workplaces - with support and direction from the President's Council on
Sustainable Development and other NGOs that share its global vision.
Far-reaching Networks. Are you confused by all the organizations, programs,
and buzzwords that fit into the big picture? Do you find it hard to match
the pieces in this immense puzzle? I do. One reason so few people try to
understand the patterns of change is its complexity. And it gets worse.
"Encourage networking," states the Santa Cruz Action Plan. You saw the links
between feminist, environmental, welfare, and government groups. But
countless other groups and organizations are also involved in the endless
web of deception. No wonder, since networking, like dialogue, helps spread
the nets that will pull in the masses. Last year, I received from the PCSD
a beautifully bound report titled Public Linkage, Dialogue, and Education.
It was prepared by the PCSD Task Force on Public Linkage, Dialogue, and
Education. It had met in the Officers Club at the Presidio various global,
UN, and environmental leaders now housed at the former army base to discuss
the initial draft. This draft included a call for a linkage between "job
opportunities" and education standards for politically correct
"understanding" of environmental, economic, and social issues from a global
perspective:
Develop essential learning standards on sustainable development for all
students in order to promote a basic understanding of the interrelationship
between environmental, economic and equity issues and a basic competency in
sustainable living. Meeting learning performance standards will help ensure
job opportunities in an emerging sustainable economy and promote responsible
citizenry in a global, interdependent society.9 Considering the background
of this "international roundtable", it's no wonder that the final report
calls for a shift in public consciousness from the old nationalistic-free
enterprise system to the new globalist-socialist paradigm. Its main three
objectives were to- 1.Ensure that awareness, knowledge, and understanding of
sustain-ability become part of the mainstream consciousness, both nationally
and internationally. Awareness and concern about environmental, economic,
and equity issues must become firmly rooted in public consciousness. 2.
Engage key domestic constituencies in a dialogue about sustain-ability to
produce consensus. 3.Foster the skills, attitudes, motivation, and values
that will redirect action to sustainable practices and produce the
commitment to work individually and collectively toward a sustainable world.
Individuals must bring their actions into accord with a sustainable future.
Conflict resolution skills must be applied to organize groups to act on
issues related to sustain-ability.10 Remember, those who define the terms
will write the rules. Those whose "science" will "educate" the masses, will
control public beliefs and behavior.
In Santa Cruz, the PCSD Task Force on Linkage, Dialogue, and Education
helped launch The Household EcoTeam Program and Sustainable Lifestyle
Campaign in Santa Cruz County. Household EcoTeam? Sustainable Lifestyle
Campaign? We know the government wants to train parents in politically
correct child-raising. Do they also want to train households in politically
correct lifestyles? They certainly do. In partnership with Global Action
Plan and ACTION-Santa Cruz, the above PCSD Task Force "helped participants
implement sustainable lifestyle practices in their own households as they
worked together on a team with a trained coach and followed a workbook
focusing in 6 action areas" (reducing garbage, water efficiency, home energy
efficiency, transportation, eco-wise consuming, & empowering others).11
Other links include the National Association of Counties and the U.S.
Council of Mayors. Following recommendations from the PCSD, they "have
established a Joint Center for Sustainable Communities to facilitate
collaborative planning."
Remember, the PCSD is linked to the UNCSD (UN Commission on Sustainable
Development), which is linked to more than 150 other nations implementing
Agenda 21, which are linked to ICLEID, which is linked to the Canadian
government, which is linked to the United Nations, which Is linked to the
Presidio, which is linked to ACTION-Santa Cruz, which is linked to Global
Rivers Environmental Network, which is linked to the American Heritage
Rivers Initiative, which is linked to the White House, which is linked to
the Department of Education. and on and on.
Everything is linked to Total Quality Management, the process for managing
and monitoring the development of human and natural resources as well as
commercial products. Schools, corporations, and government are adopting TQM
management, and Santa Clara County is no exception. The concept of
"continual change" is central to TQM, and the Santa Cruz Action Plan follows
suit. Every part of this list from its education plan relates to TQM:
Continue to prepare students for rapid change by teaching: ...critical
thinking, creative thinking, problem solving, cooperative learning, student
self assessment, multi-cultural equity, the use of interactive technologies
to foster learning & collaborative problem solving. Social Justice.
Remember the stakeholders that are defining social justice and preparing its
standards? They include NOW, Beyond Beijing, social welfare leaders,
environmental groups - all the voices that demand the abolition of Western
culture, male leadership, and biblical absolutes. Look at their vision for
Santa Cruz County: Desired State: A Paradigm Shift We envision a community
that stretches itself from its historical conditioning and ethnocentric
comfort zones to increased cross-cultural empathy and understanding - a
community that avoids oppressive hierarchies, but instead passionately
advocates for inclusion, respect and cooperation with all members.
Politically correct tolerance sets a new standard for communication and
inclusiveness. It immediately disqualifies biblical Christianity as
exclusive, hateful, patriarchal, and intolerant. Their list of practical
suggestions for change matches their vision: Train facilitators for the
"paradigm shift" to be wholistic supporters of the value of diversity
Develop an interagency approach to intolerance abatement Encourage the
business sector to hold managers accountable for promoting minorities and
women into management. Create a design for teaching the principle of
universal security Continue with forums, meetings, events, and expand our
social justice library with books, tapes, video tapes for community TV, and
literature available for interested people... Involve college students and
professors in social justice issues Bring in speakers; support individual
clubs.
Of course, their utopian plan won't work. People aren't naturally good.
Fifty years ago, the Holocaust opened our eyes to human depravity, but many
have forgotten its message. Modern socialist leaders claim to know how to
manipulate human nature. "We have to make better people," urged Shirley
McCune at the 1989 Governors Conference on Education. Nineteen years
earlier, the ASCD (Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development,
the curriculum branch of the NEA) published To Nurture Humaneness in which
Professor Raymond Houghton wrote, "The critical point of behavior control,
in effect, is sneaking up on mankind without his self-conscious realization
that a crisis is at hand. Man will not even know that it is about to
happen."12 This horrendous mission is now pressing forward under the
banners of Agenda 21 and its partners around the world. Only a solid,
unshakable commitment to truth will enable us to stand our ground. Only a
clear understanding of the evil forces driving this agenda will enable us to
resist the mental manipulation used to induce compliance. If we didn't know
that our God has the future well under His control, we would have every
reason to fear. Many live in denial, refusing to face the painful facts that
expose this covert revolution and the gradual loss of our freedoms -
including the freedom to express our faith and share the gospel.
Maurice Strong was vice-president of Dome Petroleum (by age 25), first
executive director of the UN Environmental Programme, founder of Planetary
Citizens, director of the World Future Society, founder and co-chair of the
World Economic Forum, member of the Club of Rome, trustee of the Rockefeller
Foundation and Aspen Institute, and member of the UN Commission on Global
Governance. He heads the Earth Council, which works with the UN to implement
an Earth Charter-a global code of conduct based on earth-centered
spirituality and globalist values. Its publication, Earth Ethics, suggests
that apes, our "fellow animals", should be treated as "full members of the
community of equals."
Much of the "peer reviewed" science which "proves" that human activity
causes ozone holes and global warming is countered by award-winning
non-politicized scientists who are appalled that their names are used to
validate the hoax. See "The UN Plan for Global Control."
