Go Bama

[RunningOnMT]

Alabama is the first state to pass a law against Agenda 21. For paving the way we owe them a debt of gratitude. We all need to be doing what we can to get our own state legislatures to pass similar laws. Agenda 21 is the vehicle by which the UN is attempting to usurp U.S. sovereignty and constitutional authority.

Alabama’s anti-Agenda 21 leader speaks to Ohio

by OhioPundit

Less than two weeks post-election, Don Casey drove 600 miles from Birmingham to Columbus - to educate a group of Ohioans about the shadowy issue of Agenda 21, aka Sustainable Development.

The Ohio Liberty Coalition hosted the statewide meeting on Agenda 21 and Thorium energy on November 17. Mr. Casey, who helped spearhead the anti-Agenda 21 legislation as Vice-chair of Alabama’s Alliance for Citizens Rights (ACR), addressed a group of nearly 200 in central Ohio.

Casey has studied Agenda 21 for twenty years and was instrumental in Alabama’s successful passage of Senate Bill 477.

Casey alerted Ohioans to the little known ramifications of Agenda 21 which result in loss of liberty and usurpation of private property rights through the vehicle of a worldwide agenda with tenets in the dogma of globalism and environmentalism.

Social justice and redistribution of wealth on a worldwide scale are key – it’s about inventory and control of land, humans, and natural resources.

Agenda 21 is the product of the 1992 Earth Summit held by world leaders in Rio de Janeiro who came together to discuss environmental concerns on a global scale. It was decided that sustainable development must be implemented by developed and developing nations. To be effective, nations must work together collectively – and at the local level.

In June 2012, Alabama became the first state to preserve state sovereignty against the United Nation’s Agenda 21 through passage of its Anti-Sustainable Development/Agenda 21 Law.

With the 2012 presidential election in the rear-view mirror, ongoing issues continue to pop up on the radar screen. Agenda 21 has come to the forefront as an issue of concern and is rapidly taking front and center in public awareness.

The purpose here is not to proselytize. Information on Agenda 21 speaks for itself. There is evidence of bi-partisan interest on this topic.

An internet search will yield more than enough information to take you down the rabbit hole of research indefinitely. A trip to the United Nations website is well worth the visit.

The goal of sustainable development is to incorporate world, national, state, local, and municipal governments along with the business community in implementation under the guise of “sustainability” and earth friendly objectives.

An unscientific survey of personal friends and acquaintances yielded little knowledge on the topic. Most were unaware of Agenda 21 or its implications for U.S. sovereignty – including a local member of the media, a politician, community leaders, and presumably well-informed individuals.

Highlights from Don Casey’s presentation:

Alabama was the first state to enact Agenda 21 legislation
13 other states are looking into passing similar legislation
Australia has over 7,000 treaties with the United Nations, including a fishing ban in the Coral Sea
Agenda 21 is a well-documented Progressive-Socialist agenda, not a conspiracy theory
Agenda 21 is being implemented at all levels of government and business, most successfully on the local level
Nokia, L’Oreal, Proctor and Gamble, Toyota and others have implemented sustainable development
Differentiated Agenda 21 as “a self-regulating governance system”, not government

Agenda 21 has a code language of its own. According to Casey, talking points or Agenda 21-friendly language includes:

Sustainable development, smart growth, social justice, regional planning
Sustainable farming, STAR sustainable communities
Open space, conservation easements, Green Building Codes, free trade, public/private partnerships, preservation, environmental protection, stakeholders, land use, development, redevelopment, comprehensive planning
Community service, diversity, visioning, heritage
Wildlands Project (50 percent of the land to be set aside for non-humans through cores, buffers, and corridors)

Some of Casey’s Agenda 21 handout unsustainables:

Freedom to travel, own a gas-powered car, live in suburban or rural areas
Freedom to determine the number of children you may have
Determine the “rates of harvest” of farms and fisheries
Eliminates private property rights through eminent domain
Increases the price on goods and services through artificial shortages and new consumer taxes
Golf courses, ski runs
Grazing of livestock, plowing soil, building fences
Dams and reservoirs
All industry
Single family homes, paved roads
Power line construction
Economic systems that fail to set proper value on the environment, such as capitalism, free markets, and more

Casey showed three short videos from the UK’s 10:10 “No Pressure” campaign during his presentation. The videos, aimed to get individuals and businesses to cut their carbon footprint by 10% in 2010, featured graphic visuals of exploding bodies – one of them a child in a classroom.

Agenda 21 is a global comprehensive plan of action being implemented in every facet of government and business. Do you know the language of sustainable development and is it being implemented in your community?

I've been following this for several years, and he is right. This is potentially the most dangerous instrument to ordinary citizens ever conceived. And it is being implemented in a variety of incremental and under the radar steps over many years. Not thru treaties so much, but thru verbal agreements, obscure national regulations, marketing, educational institutions, and other means that don't grab public attention.

Here's the link to the official information. Note the first sentence.

Agenda21

Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.

Agenda 21, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the Statement of principles for the Sustainable Management of Forests were adopted by more than 178 Governments at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janerio, Brazil, 3 to 14 June 1992.

The Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) was created in December 1992 to ensure effective follow-up of UNCED, to monitor and report on implementation of the agreements at the local, national, regional and international levels. It was agreed that a five year review of Earth Summit progress would be made in 1997 by the United Nations General Assembly meeting in special session.

The full implementation of Agenda 21, the Programme for Further Implementation of Agenda 21 and the Commitments to the Rio principles, were strongly reaffirmed at the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) held in Johannesburg, South Africa from 26 August to 4 September 2002.
