What could Marion County, Indiana, and Lincoln County, New Mexico, possibly have in common? In Marion County, nearly a million people are packed into 403 square miles, with a density of 2172 people per square mile. Lincoln County stretches over 4,831square miles, and on a good day, can muster only 19,411 people - thats four people per square mile.
Nevertheless, both counties - as is the county where you live - are targets for transformation into "sustainable communities," as defined in Agenda 21. Neither Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson, nor Lincoln County Planning Technician Curt Temple will admit that their efforts to transform their communities have anything to do with Agenda 21. They probably dont even know that it does.
Agenda 21 is a policy document adopted at the U.N. Conference on Environment and Development, by more than 170 nations in 1992. It was implemented in the United States by President Clintons Commission on Sustainable Development, created by Executive Order, with no Congressional debate or involvement. The agencies of government set out to implement the recommendations of Agenda 21 by rule, and by economic "incentives and disincentives." This means, simply, that grants are available to states and communities that do what the feds want, and penalties and fund withdrawal await those communities that resist.
Throughout the 1990s, communities everywhere began to create "visioning councils," with special grants from the feds. These visioning councils set out to transform local communities, and protect them from environmental and social disaster, by adopting "smart growth" policies - directly out of Agenda 21.
One of the high-priority recommendations of Agenda 21, and the PCSD, is to create a "new decision process." This means - take the policy-making process out of the hands of elected officials, put it in the hands of professionals. . . . .

The one question no one has ever answered (to my satisfaction) is how exactly would the U.N. implement and enforce Agenda 21 in the U.S.? The answer is, they can't, because they are an impotent conglomeration of corrupt world-power wannabees who have neither the political nor financial clout to do much of anything. Sort of a global department of motor vehicles who's purpose in life seems to be annoying people with their inane socialist agendas. And to think the U.S. would put up with their nonsense is absurd. I think the best way to handle the U.N. is just say no.
The dream of every crapweasel politician. Create various levels of "final decision" boards and commissions composed of appointed "professionals" (i.e., well connected friends and contributors) which insulate the politicians from criticism and responsibility for the decisions, and which are completely unaccountable to the voters.
You're wrong.
Just look how easy it is for the UN to declare property in the US as "world Heritige sites".
Look at how quickly the UN has changed what our kids now learn in school.
Actually, look what they DON"T learn anymore.
It's being done every day, right out in the open. Our government is complicit in this...
The UN is doing this THROUGH our government....not "in spite" of our government.
Green-belts are coming.
