The Dark Side Of Globalism

This article makes a pretty cogent argument against 'Globalism.' The author describes a very disturbing trend, but I wish

that he went into a little more detail about the specifics of how this is all happening.

Title: "The Dark Side Of Globalism" Author: Tom DeWeese Link: http://www.politicallyright.com/article166.htm

Quote: "Globalism calls for a wrenching transformation of our society, away from representative government and independent

nations to the establishment of a global village with global citizens. The entire plan is outlined in detail in the UN's

Agenda 21, a treaty signed by then-President George Bush at the UN's Earth Summit in 1992."

Post the article.

Agenda 21

As scary a vision as you ever want to see. Parts of it are being pushed in your community right now. Listen to some of the "activists" and compare notes with some of these provisions.

Then shudder.

[DustyMoment]

Not a pleasant article but, it appears as though there is some validity to it. Many of our national parks have already been placed under the control of the UN and Bush 43, with his "immigration reform" policy that doesn't address the issue of strnegthening our borders, appears to be dragging us along toward implementing this.

Tom Tancredo, anyone?

There has never been a single vote in Congress to create Sustainable Development. It's all done through cleverly rearranged wording of existing programs and budgets, using UN treaties as guidelines. It's all under the radar.

Clinton's contributions include his "President's council on sustainable development" which cascaded from the top, socialized sustainable development policies from his cabinet down into the Dept of Agriculture, the EPA which is notoriously UN and sustainable development with their engergy policies, the BLM with their wildland project and water confiscation, and the housing element of HUD which promotes the stupidly soviet style housing and communities called "smart growth"

From the bottom up 'local action committees or councils' create regional entities that steal your constitutional right to representative government. The have been working on it for quite a few years, and they are just starting to meet in the middle so to speak.

When planners change zoning regulations to form densely-populated clusters (called "employment villages")[7], where people will live, work and shop in the confines of a small geographical area, then access to other parts of the county will be through the accessory mass transit system, by bicycle or by foot. Not by cars, though. Cars are bad.[8]

Plans for Recreational Rail in Santa Cruz County raise a number of issues for the community, and with future plans for a full-blown Smart Growth project, authorities have not disclosed all of the details - nor the consequences to the lives of county residents.

Community Plans are about creating Sustainable Communities. At first blush, the words sound good, but the ideas behind them are not. Sustainable Communities are based on a new set of values where, for example, nature takes precedence over man and where non-elected council members decide what we can and cannot do.

Are Community Plans Really a Product of the Community?

Current Santa Cruz County 2nd District Supervisor Ellen Pirie claims that plans in her district - The Seacliff Village Plan, the Corralitos Valley Community Plan and the Aptos Village Plan - are derived from each community.[1] But this is not true. All three plans receive support from organizations outside their respective communities and are fueled by the Santa Cruz County Planning Department and other government agencies.[2][3][4]

Some neighborhood residents are recruited to join newly forming planning committees, and there may be valid issues that need to be addressed, but selective community presence in name and/or participation is designed to garner the appearance of broad community support for a plan that has been predetermined[5] - and not fully revealed.

The plans that neighborhoods actually end up with are not local and they are not popularly driven. All of the plans in Supervisor Pirie's district have a predetermined outcome and follow guidelines similar to those presented in "The Local Agenda 21 Planning Guide - An Introduction to Sustainable Development Planning" put out by the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) [6]. ICLEI is a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Toronto, Canada.[7]

Agenda 21 is a world-wide blueprint for implementing Sustainable Development that is designed to control everything we do, from the cradle to the grave and the bedroom to the boardroom.[8]

The foundational infrastructure for Sustainable Communities is created by implementing Smart Growth. Smart Growth policies are characterized by the development of rails, trails and high-density real estate, accomplished by central planners in coalition with select businesses. Under these policies, private automobile use is discouraged (taking away our freedom of mobility), residents are crammed into dense living and working conditions, and control of public utilities and natural resources is consolidated in a central authority.

The Santa Cruz County Planning Department has been implementing Smart Growth and Sustainable Development objectives through directives from Santa Cruz County Measure C - "Decade of the Environment". Measure C was endorsed by the Supervisors in 1990 and again in November 2000 under a new name: "Environmental Principles and Policies to Guide County Government".[9]

As scary a vision as you ever want to see.

Most Americans refuse to believe this. But whether they refuse to believe it or not, we are in this transformation right now. One reason Bush and the majority of our policians believes in open borders is that the United Nations' plan for one world government was set in motion years ago. One way to achieve this end is to overrun America with Mexican illegals, and to destroy our Constitution, laws and our voting rights.

Part of America is a bunch of blind mice denying they are living on the mountain of doom. The other bunch know what is coming and they try to hush it up or lie about it.

[exmarine]

There's a bright side to globalism?

This would just be the final nail in the coffin. Our constitutional republic is already essentially dead.

Is it any wonder that I don't trust Bush, that I don't trust The Supreme Court, that I don't trust the Congress? Trust is earned and over the last 2 decades, they have earned my dis-trust.

[dmanLA]

Ping.

I fear the republic is already lost. There is too much inertia heading towards the global village.

Intra-generational equity is the principle of equity between different groups of people alive today. Similarly to inter-generational equity, intra-generational equity implies that consumption and production in one community should not undermine the ecological, social, and economic basis for other communities to maintain or improve their quality of life.

INTREP - GLOBALISM

The UN through the Berkeley city government is using US taxpayer dollars to brainwash the citizens into following UN proscribed behaviors (as mentionedy by Tom DeWeese).

Title Berkeley's "Precycling" Campaign
Country United States
Type of Instrument Public Information Campaigns
Sector Manufacturing Industry

Name of Agency City of Berkeley

Type of Agency Municipal

Sustainable Production and Consumption Objective --
The objective is to provide consumers(general public)with information about recommendations on how effective waste reduction strategies can be implemented. Recommendations can include information on purchasing changes and behavioral changes.

Target Groups
Residential sector(i.e. the general public)


City officials in Berkeley, California developed the term "precycle", which means making purchasing decisions that will have less harmful impacts on the environment. The precycling term is now being used by several other communities, such as Greenwich, Connecticut.

Berkeley's precycling campaign consists of store posters, buttons, and pamphlets with the slogan: "Precycle. Do it right from the start!" The pamphlets give advice to consumers on how to make less wasteful purchasing decisions.

The suggestions include:
* Select products carefully and try to buy those that can be reused and have the least packaging.
*Avoid disposables, such as razors lighters, and plastic plates.
*Buy in bulk to avoid overpackaging and save money: keep perishability in mind to avoid product spoilage.
*Buy durable, long-wearing products, such as premium tires. Use Consumer Reports and other consumer publications to research long-lasting products.

Wha... you don't want to live in an employment village next to a noisy smelly trainstation over a bar that stays open til 3AM in a one bedroom apartment with a dry toilet and only one lightbulb with the electricity coming on for only 2 hours a night and your constitutoinal right to a representative republic replaced by a regional council of comrades?

"Many of our national parks have
already been placed under the control of the UN "

Please give me an example of this. I've heard about it for years but haven't seen any evidence.

I wasn't aware that there was a "lighter side" of Globalism.

World Heritage Sites are designated under a treaty to which the United States is a party, entitled the “Convention for the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage,” which was adopted at the General Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in Paris on November 16, 1972. Although the United States no longer participates in UNESCO(1), the U.S. Department of State in conjunction with the National Park Service and other agencies, administers the program. Sites continue to be added to the 22 already-designated parks, buildings and other sites in the United States.
Both “cultural” and “natural” Heritage are protected under the treaty. Although national sovereignty is an issue of concern in all designations, the experience of private property owners indicates that it is the resource designations which pose the potentially serious detriment to their private property rights.

Although the Convention calls for scientific research and studies to draw up the list, and although the list is for the purpose of assisting the nation where the endangered site is located with the costs where “major operations are necessary” because of “accelerated deterioration,” destruction by “earthquakes,” the “threat of armed conflict,” and the like, the extreme environmentalists who control land policy in the Clinton Administration successfully used the clause to execute an international scheme to declare Yellowstone Park, a “World Heritage Site in Danger” and bring plans for a mine outside the park to a stop.(4)
The Yellowstone debacle was carried out in spite of its clear conflict with carefully worded language in the Convention, most notably in Article 6:

“fully respecting the sovereignty of the States on whose territory the cultural and natural heritage mentioned in Articles 1 and 2 is situated, and without prejudice to property rights provided by national legislation...”(5)

Because of the Yellowstone affair, which is thoroughly documented with all of the paper exchanges so beloved by bureaucrats, reasonable people can no longer dismiss as speculative the grave concerns about the threats to constitutional rights posed by the World Heritage Sites.
The World Heritage Sites and their recognized and incipient “buffer zones” provide a large arena which needs active defense of private property rights, local home rule and natural sovereignty by dedicated citizens living in the affected region or state. A list published with this article gives each site by state.

TATSHENSHINI-ALSEK Park and Preserve (Canada)
The recently created Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Park and Preserve (British Columbia, Canada) connected the other three parks into a vast contiguous system. It was joined as a World Heritage Site with Kluane N.P. and the two U.S. Parks.



DENALI NATIONAL PARK AND U.N. BIOSPHERE PRESERVE
Denali National Park and Preserve was established as Mt. McKinley National Park on Feb. 26, 1917. The Park was designated an international U.N. Biosphere Reserve in 1976. The original park was designated a wilderness area and incorporated into Denali National Park and Preserve in 1980.




John Muir's Legacy, the Glacier Bay/Tatshenshini-Alsek/Kluane/Wrangell-St.Elias United Nations World Heritage Site
At 25 million acres (approximately the size of the state of Maine in the US), this world heritage site is one of the largest protected areas in the world.


A program of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the World Heritage Program represents a collection of sites of exceptional interest and universal value to all mankind.


The World Heritage Convention has been ratified by some 147 nations, and recognizes those sites of "outstanding universal value" to all the citizens of the world, not just the countries in which they may be located. The convention conducts business through a World Heritage Committee, consisting of 21 nations elected by the State Parties to the World Heritage Convention. By ratifying the Convention, a government voluntarily agrees to protect, and preserve world heritage sites. To be inscribed as a World Heritage Site, an area must meet several criteria which define "outstanding universal value." As acknowledged by the Committee.


Immediately westward is the majestic Alaska Range with the great Denali National Park and U.N. Biosphere Preserve (U.S) including Mt. Denali the highest peak in North America and a vast "Serengeti-like" wildlife range.
