Sustainable development explained: Joan Veon explains evolution of U.N. global control push
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | Saturday, March 30, 2002 | Joan Veon

I remember, when I heard the high schools in Montgomery County, Md., were advocating abortion and condom distribution to teens in the sex-education classes, how shocked I was. For five years prior to covering my first U.N. conference, I lobbied at the county and state level against these radical and immoral ideas. As I analyzed what our children were being taught, I was puzzled. I could see that these ideas came from the federal level to the state level and then down to the local level, but why? Where was our government getting these ideas?

It was not until I went to Cairo, Egypt, to cover the U.N. Conference on Population and Development that I realized the abortion/condom/sex-education agenda as well as the pro-homosexual agenda came from the international level – the United Nations. I was amazed. Just who was the U.N. to tell us what our children should and should not do? I remember the press briefing by the powerful president of the World Bank, Lewis Preston. Dressed in a suit costing thousands of dollars, Preston told reporters that all future loans from the World Bank to developing countries would be dependent on whether or not they were reducing their population. Furthermore, as he discussed what goes on in a person's bedroom, I was appalled.

In Cairo, then Vice President Al Gore spoke, "As we reach a new stage of human history, there is a new urgency to tackle world-population questions … [A] holistic approach must be applied to other problems such as the persistent high level of poverty. The solution to that problem will be found in a comprehensive approach that combines democracy, economic reform, low rates of inflation, low levels of corruption, sound environmental stewardship, free and open markets at home and access to markets in the developed countries." He reiterated over-population. It was the headline of the Sept. 13, 1994, conference paper, TERRAVIVA, that said it all: "Redefining the family, Nations embrace bold initiatives."

The phrase that summarizes the above agenda is "sustainable development," which comprises a major part of the radical environmental agenda. Where does it come from and what does it mean?

In 1974, the U.N. General Assembly called for the United Nations Environment Programme, the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources – now called the World Conservation Union, and the World Wildlife Fund – to "develop guidelines to help governments in the management of their living resources through the formulation of a world conservation strategy."

When it was finished in 1980, the aforementioned groups had also collaborated with the Food and Agricultural Organization and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to prepare the "World Conservation Strategy." The aim of this roadmap is to "help advance the achievement of sustainable development." In 1980, the General Assembly endorsed the WCS. In 1983, the 38th session of the U.N. passed Resolution 38/161 that called upon the secretary-general to appoint a commission "to propose long-term environmental strategies for achieving sustainable development."

Known as the Brundtland Commission, after co-chair Gro Harlem Brundtland, its definition of sustainable development has been embraced throughout the U.N. family and world. Let me give you my quick definition:

The world has too many people, and if we do not reduce the number of people on the planet, they will use up and eat up all of the earth's resources so that future generations will be left without any resources. The United Nations is the only global body to monitor, manage and preserve the resources of the planet.

This concept fits hand and glove with the gaia hypothesis: It inverts – perverts – Genesis 1, 2 and 3. When I finally realized what sustainable development is, I understood what was happening in the schools and what our children are being taught.

In an effort to understand the philosophy behind sustainable development, I ended up looking at the 1977 Constitution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. I found my answer in Chapter 2, Article 18, which states: "In the interests of the present and future generations, the necessary steps are taken in the USSR to protect and make scientific, rational use of the land and its mineral and water resources, and the plant and animal kingdoms to preserve the purity of air and water, ensure reproduction of natural wealth, and improve the human development."

This basically describes the definition by the Brundtland Commission. Once I understood this, I had confirmation as to the roots and origination of the radical environmental agenda that is reshaping not only personal-property rights in America but also the value and meaning of family. Unfortunately, the Clinton administration set up the President's Commission on Sustainable Development.

Interestingly enough, one of the first people to commend the Brundtland Commission for bringing "sustainable development" into all our vocabularies was Prince Charles. He has been a major power behind Agenda 21 and sustainable development, pushing and shoving at every turn. For this reason, I have dubbed him, "the Sustainable Prince." You now hear "sustainable" being attached to everything: "sustainable agriculture," "sustainable economics" and "sustainable financing." When you see "sustainable," know that it implies complete control.

A Report by RICK MARTIN

Part I: Historical Perspective

11/19/95

Many writers have spoken of intentional plans by certain Elite to thin-out the world's population; it's a recurring theme among so-called conspiracy theorists. There are frequent references to "useless eaters", which includes the bulk of mankind. Most, when hearing of plots to depopulate the planet, simply say under their breath, "Yeah, right," or more often, while shaking their head, "You're nuts." But when there is a careful examination of writings by prominent authors of this century, pieces of the puzzle certainly do fall into place - pieces which support the contention that there are certain individuals, if not entire governments, who have implemented a program of global genocide in an effort to salvage and corner "resources".

We gave it to them. We gave it to them by our silence at elections and in the courts. We complained but only in our private worlds.

Well first we are becoming aware of the power of these groups and trying to pass on what we find.

What next?

Since our elected officials are not speaking for us, should Conservatives form a Non-Govermental Organization to be able to counter-attack public policy influenced by all the other NGO's?

I'm I way off base here? I can surely see that just getting their activiy out in the light is not enough.

Here's a little something from the League of California Cities DOT ARGHHH.
http://www.cacities.org

2001 Annual Conference Policy Committees

Policy Committees

To assist the Board in its policy process, the League has eight standing policy committees. Close to 400 city officials, serve on the League policy committees. The policy committees meet quarterly, prior to each Board of Directors meeting. Membership on league policy committees is guided by the following principles:

A Majority of policy committee members must be elected officials. Each department may appoint one representative to each policy committee. Each division may appoint two representatives to each policy committee. League affiliates may appoint one representative to appropriate policy committees. The League president may appoint fourteen additional members to provide added expertise as well as geographic and population balance. The process assures broad access for city officials to both initiate discussion and influence decisions. The eight standing policy committees are:

Administrative Services
Community Services
Employee Relations
Environmental Quality
Housing, Community and Economic Development
Public Safety
Revenue and Taxation
Transportation, Communications and Public Works

For more information on the League’s policy development process, please contact Marian Avila at 916.658.8224 or avilam@cacities.org.

Thanks for the link -- lots of bad news. We should always remember that we have the world those in power want us to have.

My favorite statistic proving their lies is that if every man, woman and child stood shoulder to shoulder, the entire population of planet Earth would fit inside Jacksonville, Florida.

God's provided plenty of space, resources and fresh air for all of us.
