"Isn't it koffee annus who wants to put restrictions on what can be put out over the internet? If you can google, and get more than 20 million hits on Agenda 21..."

Agenda 21 is a bit old. The implementation isn't by UN action, it's by fed through local zoning, land use, code, EPA, ect rules. In addition, requiring planning for everything drives operating expenses up even further. The plans aren't allowed to be flexible either.

Folks never really see the connection. It comes in little peices and by stealth as buried items in budget bills. Required land use planning came as an item attached at the last minute to a budget bill at the end of legislative session. Most have no interest anyway, because they have nothing at stake and are shown what they have to gain in this taking of other folks property.

The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia sentences a former Yugoslav General, among other things, for the destruction of and damage to the World Heritage site of the Old Town of Dubrovnik

01 February 2005
On 31 January 2005, the Trial Chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia sentenced retired General Pavle Strugar of the Yugoslav Peoples’ Army to eight years in prison for war crimes perpetrated in 1991. He has been found guilty of war crimes against the civilian population and, under Article 3(d) of the Tribunal’s Statute, of the destruction of and wilful damage to a number of historical and cultural sites located in the Old Town of Dubrovnik, in Croatia, a site inscribed on the List of World Heritage since 1979. This Judgement illustrates clearly how destruction of, and damage to, world heritage sites under the 1972 UNESCO Convention can be sanctioned under international humanitarian law.

Damaged by the armed conflict of the 1990s, the Old City of Dubrovnik became the focus of a major restoration programme co-ordinated by UNESCO. In 1991, the city was immediately included on the List of World Heritage in Danger in order to draw international attention to the situation and carry out the necessary emergency protection measures. With UNESCO providing technical advice and financial assistance, the Croatian Government restored the facades of the Franciscan and Dominican cloisters, repaired roofs and rebuilt palaces. As a result, in December 1998, it became possible to remove the city from the List of World Heritage in Danger.

Today, the World Heritage Centre continues to provide international assistance to the site, most recently by financing two meetings of the Consultative Council of Experts for the Restoration of Dubrovnik.

Because Agenda 21 it's old, it's not relevant?

We are trying to destroy America ourselves?

Haven't you read Agenda 21's manifesto?
