JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – The upcoming World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg promises to be three times larger than the Rio Earth Summit 10 years ago, and over 10 times larger than the first earth summit held in Stockholm in 1972. While most people still do not understand what sustainable development is, there is no doubt that, in the future, they will know exactly what it is because it will be literally shoved down their throats whether they want it or not. They will not be able to farm, produce, manufacture, serve a meal in a restaurant or live without understanding how their actions will harm the environment and use up resources.
There are many things that make this conference completely different and very historic with regard to the impact on humankind. First the name says it all. Unlike the two previous environmental meetings in 1972 and 1992, this is a summit that means that the kings, princes, presidents and prime ministers of this world are expected to be in attendance. Second, the name tells you that sustainable development is the life system of the environmental agenda.
The key concept behind sustainable development is that the earth has finite resources with too many people. This concept was developed by the Brundtland Commission in the mid-1980s at the request of the U.N. General Assembly. By 1991, people like Prince Charles were commending them for bringing sustainable development into all our vocabularies. Obviously, he wasn't thinking of most Americans.
The environmental agenda and its underlying principles which were made public 10 years ago in Rio are pagan-based. For the first time in human history – and since the handing down of Mosaic Law centuries ago – a group of high-minded globalists, bent on recreating the Tower of Babel, decided to play God. The Earth Summit's Programme of Action, "Agenda 21," basically inverts/perverts Genesis 1, 2 and 3 by making the earth dominant over man and demoting man to the status of a plant or animal and a destroyer of the ecosystem. A sub-component of sustainable development is biological diversity or bio-diversity.
The thesis behind "Agenda 21" is that the world has too many people and finite resources. Therefore, the resources must be protected and controlled so that you and I don't use them all up with the United Nations becoming the enforcer and protector of all of the earth's resources.
Did you know that you and I already know part of the sustainable development message? Within the last 30 years we have heard that there are too many people and that the population must be reduced. Schools now endorse abortion, condom distribution and homosexuality (no procreation) as a way to reduce the population. Universities, colleges and vocational institutions now teach "Agenda 21" in environmental classes. Most houses recycle plastic bottles and tin cans. Once a week, the neighborhood knows if you are a good global citizen by the recycling bin in front of your house. But sustainable development is much more than this.
In looking to understand what is going to take place in Johannesburg, it is phase two of a global agenda of control. Phase one began in 1972, in Stockholm, when the U.N. convened the first conference on the environment. From that time until now, the foundation, structure and infrastructure of "Agenda 21" has been put in place. For example, with regard to biological diversity, there have been 20 conferences and agreements that have produced 13 conventions and numerous other multilateral environmental agreements. With regard to water, there have been 50 major conferences and international agreements, with regard to agriculture there have been 16 conferences and agreements with five conventions and in the area of energy, there have been 14 conferences and agreements with two conventions.
While there is some overlap in these figures since some of the mega-conferences covered more than one area, 20 conventions says it all. Most of them are in some stage of being ratified and implemented globally. The impact of what this means is far too complex and onerous for most of us to even imagine. While most are being told that the U.N. is protecting the environment, they really are playing God and re-ordering what God created and the balance of nature that has served humanity well throughout all of history until 1992.
Furthermore, the Draft Plan of Implementation of the World Summit on Sustainable Development promises to put teeth into the above conventions, agreements and conferences. Their goal is to make the 21st century a Sustainable one.
How would you like to be on a permanent Weight Watchers type of diet in everything you do? The bottom line to this TOTAL REORDERING OF THE PLANET is to "change unsustainable patterns of consumption and production." Some of this re-ordering will be reasonable – better use of resources through better production patterns – but the rest will put each one of us into a global straitjacket. How would you like to be fined for throwing away food or buying something that you did not need? While the document does not say they will do that, if you read between the lines, this just might not be so far off.
The words of an old hymn say it all, "There's not a plant or flower below But makes thy glories known, And clouds arise and tempests blow by order from thy Throne."
