Agenda 21

I vaguely remember hearing/reading about the UN's "Agenda 21" some time ago, and promptly forgot about it. Probably a "too much bad news overload" kind of thing.

I found this via Adrienne's Corner, please click through the links.

From Conservatives on Fire site:

...Agenda 21 is an anti-private property rights agenda and would likely bring about resistance from Constitutional. freedom-loving Americans, the initiatives now carry lots of utopian sounding names such as: Smart Growth, Sustainable Development, Lands Conservancies, Greenways, Livable Communities, etc.



The areas you see in red represents wilderness reserves which will be off-limits to humans. Areas in yellow represents highly regulated buffer zones where human existence will be greatly restricted. The areas in green represent zones for normal use of high density mixed use urban areas. This is where you’ll be allowed to live.
Six months after his inauguration, President Bill Clinton issued Executive Order #12852 which created the President’s Council On Sustainable Development on June 29 1993.

A typical day in the Orwellian society created by Smart Growth would consist of an individual waking up in his government-provided housing unit, eating a ration of government-subsidized foods purchased at a government-sanctioned grocery store, walking his children to the government-run child care center, and boarding government-subsidized public transit to go to his government job.
Smart Growth policies: 
  • A transportation plan that reduces mobility and forces people to live near their work in heavily-regulated feudalistic “transit villages.”
  • Tax-subsidized, government-controlled, mixed-use developments called “human settlements,” like developments in Portland, Oregon where the lure of paying as little as $150 per year in taxes on properties valued at $1.5 million has led to high occupancy.
  • Settlements distinguished from one another by how useful the citizens are for society. The Smart Growth plan for Richland County, SC, distinguishes between “employment-based villages,” and “non-employment-based villages,” with special gated communities for the wealthy individuals overseeing the plan, and “non-employment” villages located in former slums.
  • Heavy restrictions on most development with the exception of that constructed and managed by government “partners” where extremely dense development is promoted.
  • Rations on public services such as health care, drinking water, and energy resources. According to the Global Water Supply and Assessment Report (2000), reasonable access to water in urban areas is defined as “the availability of 20 litres per capita per day at a distance no longer than 1,000 metres.”


It's all very informative; there's a lot of reading, but we all need to know what is being planned by the self-proclaimed "elites" in our world to know how to combat them. This is real, this is documented.


I don't remember who said it first, but "...just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they AREN'T out to get you..."

Rebecca - thank you so much for your comment on my blog and for the linky-love. We live right next to an Orthodox Church and they are the best of neighbors.

When they were being hassled about putting in their cemetery, I told Father Gregory I would see to it that the Roman Catholics on our road would make sure they got their cemetery. We did and now I can sit on my deck and look across Father Bill's property (our pastor) to their beautiful cemetery.

Can't get much more ecumenical than that... ;-)

We have also attended many an Easter feast with them.
