The United Nations Climate Change Conference in Durban, South Africa in December 2011 was the most recent UN conference whose goal was to move the United States into global government by environmental regulations and a vast network of taxes. The original plan was launched at the 1992 UN meeting in Rio de Janeiro, known as the Earth Summit, where Conference Secretary General Maurice Strong produced a 300-page document with 40 proposals called Agenda 21. The tax-seeking plan is to be finalized next year in Rio de Janeiro. Agenda 21 is a comprehensive master plan to reshape and control the U.S. and lock us into the clutches of the UN under the innocuous phrase Sustainable Development. Along with 178 countries, President George H.W. Bush accepted Agenda 21 as "soft law" adopted by collaborative consensus instead of by treaty. Bush popularized the term New World Order, but left it for others to define. Mikhail Gorbachev said the threat of an environmental crisis will be the international key to unlock the New World Order, and President Bill Clinton issued an Executive Order in 1993 creating the President's Council on Sustainable Development. To talk about Agenda 21, you will have to get used to a new vocabulary: sustainable development, green jobs, regional planning, smart growth, biodiversity, growth management, redistribution, urban growth boundaries, consensus, and government-private corporation-partnerships. Agenda 21 wants to herd people into crowded communities, with limited housing space and limited parking spaces. This will promote the green goal of reducing our use of automobiles, allowing only electric cars that can't go very fast or very far, so people will have to walk and use bicycles and mass transit. Agenda 21 supports the Wildlands Project, which seeks to rewild 50% of our nation and turn it into a pre-Columbian wilderness where animals roam freely and humans are crowded into limited spaces. Agenda 21 has started its attacks on rural and small-town property rights. Six hundred U.S. cities and counties have signed on to ICLEI (International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, pronounced iklay), putting themselves indirectly under supervision of UN regulations and restrictions. It's a major goal of Agenda 21 to lower the U.S. standard of living by cutting our use of energy. Agenda 21 plans to use smart meters, smart grids, and smart growth so that our nation's use of electricity can be controlled, limited, and redistributed. UN climate conferences are all about getting the UN to impose taxes that will give the UN an immense flow of money. This means imposing UN taxes on currency transfers, fossil energy production including oil, natural gas and coal, the commercial use of oceans, international airplane tickets, and all foreign exchange transactions. Taxes of this magnitude would give the UN so much power that it would become a de facto world government. Tell your Members of Congress to pledge that the day the UN adopts this extravagant anti-American nonsense will be the day we say goodbye to the UN. |
