United Nations Agenda 21 is a global action plan to inventory and control all of the world’s resources and human populations. It has two main goals: 1) to achieve global social equity, that is, the equal distribution of power and wealth among all human populations, and 2) to remove all industry and private property from all areas of the globe in order to prevent environmental damage allegedly caused by private industrial activity, and to create new, environmentally sound infrastructures. It follows three basic assumptions: 1) the planetary environment is being damaged, 2) the damage is caused by humans, and 3) any form of inequality among humans is inherently unjust and will inevitably lead to social and environmental damage.
The Agenda 21 document is the blueprint for the implementation of these goals. The use of eminent domain on local, national and global levels will legally justify the removal of all forms of industry and privacy in a process of environmentally sound redevelopment. Centrally planned cities will replace free market cities. All human necessities will be provided by government agencies and government run businesses. Everything will be inventoried and controlled, and human populations will be monitored in order to ensure that they comply with Agenda 21 regulations.
Between 1976 and 2002, the initiative to save the planet from the polluting effects of private industrial activity achieved codification and implementation surrounding four main events: the U.N Habitat I Conference in 1976, the World Commission on Environmental Development in 1987, the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, and the formation of the President’s Council on Sustainable Development in 1993 under the Clinton administration, which signified the climactic shift to the greening period in American History. In effect, the domestic and foreign policies of the most powerful nation in the world were being developed in light of green-ness, that is, addressing the concern for the destruction of the planet and its people by implementing policies that further social equity and de-industrialization.
Governments at these U.N. conferences claimed to recognize the ostensibly catastrophic consequences of rapid global urbanization. As such, the world human population came under close scrutiny by future central planners and future policy makers. Their central assumption was that “Private landownership is the principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice”. Therefore, they say, it follows that public control of all land use is indispensable. They determined that to achieve public control of all land and resources, it was necessary to adopt policies and legislation that aimed at undercutting private property rights so that public, that is, government control of all economic activity could lead to the development of so-called sustainable human habitations.
In 1987, the World Commission on Environment and Development defined sustainable development as “Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. Once this imperative was accepted, the next step was to show that current human activity was compromising the needs of future generations. All that was left was to decide what was to be done about it.
At the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, the World Commission on Environment and Development was given the task of designing strategies for achieving global sustainable development. The Agenda 21 document was produced. It describes the principles and implementation methods of the new global agenda.
The philosophy that underwrites the Agenda 21 action plan follows the assumption that private human activity results in social injustice, that is, the destruction of people, wildlife, and the planet itself. Additionally, it claims that only experts in environmental science and in city planning have the ability to fashion a world in which the future is safe from free, private human activity. In this way, social justice can be achieved.
Sustainable habitats, they claim, will not leave a destructive human footprint on the earth, and the future will be safe because the new habitats will be sustainable. They will not exhaust the earth and its resources, and will not impede upon diverse peoples and wildlife.
Under the Agenda 21 initiative, the future is interpreted as a common-future, in which everyone in the world will be the beneficiaries of social equity, that is, everyone will be equal, and no human distinction will exist to impede upon collective equality.
What is essential to the agenda is the philosophy that the future is already determined to evolve into a utopia of universal equality. How we get there does not matter, so long as we get there.
Since our traditional human activities, they claim, have all along been destroying the earth, and since they are implementing policies under cover of environmentalism and without voter consent, the new order is presented as a fait accompli. You have no choice but to accept it because it already exists.
This process overturns the assumptions of the U.S. constitution. Rather than derive what is lawful with respect to private individuals, what is lawful will be derived with respect to the best interest of the community and its Utopian future. From the axiom that the private individual is the cause of all the ills of the world, it follows, in the green logic of the agenda, that the individual can have no rights. Instead, the community will have rights that subsume the individual. It has already been determined that it is in the community’s best interest to de-industrialize and dissolve property and privacy rights of individuals. As such, the community becomes a publicly controlled collective in which all human activity must follow the policies of Agenda 21.
In such a world, your government, your employer, and your landlord will all be one entity, a unification of corporate and government regimes serving one purpose: the concentration of all power and wealth into the hands of the few, and the removal of all power and wealth from the hands of the many. The use of the term social justice means to create an illusion of true justice. In reality, social justice is a process of equalizing all human populations, making them equally powerless and equally dependent on the corporatist regimes that mean to rule them.
I thought all this social justice talk was more about forcing us to be politically correct. Makes sense that it's part of a corporate agenda. Excellent article, looking forward to reading more!
