H.Con.Res. 4 expresses the sense of Congress that the United States should not rejoin the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

The whereas clauses of the legislation explains why:

1. Whereas President Ronald Reagan withdrew the United States from membership in UNESCO in 1984, citing gross financial mismanagement, anti-American bias, and anti-freedom policies;

2. Whereas in 2001 President George Bush supported an amendment to H.R. 1646 that would have stricken language of congressional support for a renewal of United States membership in UNESCO;

3. Whereas the United States has a single vote in UNESCO despite being assessed 25 percent of the UNESCO budget and having promised to contribute $60,000,000 upon rejoining the organization;

4. Whereas the current UNESCO director's belated attempts at cost cutting were so resisted by the organization that his own staff went on a hunger strike;

5. Whereas UNESCO membership may force unconstitutional restraints on United States freedom of the press;

6. Whereas UNESCO, through a memorandum of agreement with the Department of State, has designated 47 United Nations biosphere reserves in the United States covering more than 70 million acres, without congressional consultation or approval;

7. Whereas UNESCO effectively bypasses congressional authority to manage Federal lands by establishing management policies without congressional consultation or approval;

8. Whereas UNESCO membership would undermine United States sovereignty by forcing United States adherence to the United Nations global policy on bioethics;

9. Whereas UNESCO seeks to levy an unconstitutional `global tax' on Internet use on United States citizens; and

10. Whereas UNESCO has a history of meddling in the education policies of its member-countries and has sought to dictate school curriculum for United States primary and secondary schools, thus undermining United States sovereignty.

THESE COMMUNIST DOCUMENTS:


UN Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat I) here


Habitat II Document here


UNESCO's War Against National Sovereignty here


Folks, I've been looking at the UNESCO documents most of a week. At the same time, I've been looking at the website of the National Park Service. Except for the NPS not calling for military force to enforce this agenda YET, these websites could have been written by the same people. I had to keep looking at the address to see which site I was at. This is what I wrote at another thread:


"The UN, through UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization), is calling the shots in this country, and has been for a long time. UNESCO, without even having full funding, is implementing its will through a lot of US agencies, one of which, believe it or not, is the National Park Service.


Within two decades following its establishment, the National Park Service, with the assistance of Congress and the Secretary of the Interior, had developed a refined philosophy of education that involved the presentation of scientific and cultural information through a variety of methods and venues, professional relationships with major universities and research institutions, and the conviction that learning in the parks must be based on ongoing and comprehensive research in the sciences and humanities. The early direction of Franklin K. Lane, Stephen T. Mather, and Robert Sterling Yard and those that succeeded them, clearly and firmly anchored education [propaganda and brainwashing] at the center of the management of the national parks."

Bush Calls for the U.S. to Rejoin UNESCO
By Chuck Morse >BR? Published 09. 12. 02 at 22:05 Sierra Time


"In an otherwise excellent speech at the UN (9/12), President Bush, perhaps as a sop to win UN favor for military action in Iraq, called for the U.S. to rejoin the United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Membership had been terminated in 1984 when it was discovered that large portions of the UNESCO budget, mostly extracted from the hides of U.S. taxpayers, was being diverted to Soviet fronts, terrorist organizations, and to support the bizarre and lavish tastes of the UNESCO Director-General, Senegalese leftist Mahtar M'Bow and his entourage. At the time, UNESCO was attempting to implement a "New World Information Order" in which the world's journalists would be required to pass an ideological litmus test in order to practice their craft. Theoretically, if a journalist ran afoul of the UNESCO commissars, his license could be revoked and he could face fines and possible criminal charges. This would have fulfilled a central plank of the Communist Manifesto, which calls for "public ownership of the means of communication." In terminating U.S. membership, President Reagan stated that UNESCO had "extraneously politicized virtually every subject it deals with. It has exhibited a hostility toward the basic institutions of a free society, especially a free market and a free press."


UNESCO is often referred to as a school board for the world and, as such, it reflects the educational philosophy of its founding Director-General, biologist/humanist Julian Huxley. In his book "UNESCO: Its Purpose and Its Philosophy" (1946), Huxley spills the beans. "The task before UNESCO… is to help the emergence of a single world culture, with its own philosophy and background of ideas, and with its own broad purposes." Huxley stated that the agency would advocate "the ultimate need for world political unity" and would condition "all peoples with the implications of the transfer of full sovereignty from separate nations to world organization." His stated that UNESCO "can do a great deal to lay the foundations on which world political unity can later be built."


In the early 1950's, former Communist Joseph Z. Kornfeder expressed the opinion that UNESCO was comparable to a Communist Party agitation and propaganda department. He stated that such a party apparatus "handles the strategy and method of getting at the public mind, young and old." Huxley would lard the agency with a motley collection of Communists and fellow travelers.


In Hamburg, Germany, 1964, Huxley chaired a UNESCO sponsored conference called the "International Symposium on Health, Education, Sex Education and Education for Home and Family living" in which the agenda was laid out for sex education. In "UNESCO: Its Purpose and Philosophy" (pp 46): Huxley lays out the sex ed agenda when he states "It will be one of the major tasks of the philosophy division of UNESCO to stimulate…the quest for a restatement of morality that shall be in harmony with modern knowledge and adapted to the fresh functions imposed by ethics by the world today." The conference concluded, "Sex education should begin at an early age."


Through its "World Heritage" subsidiary, UNESCO has, incredibly, already taken over control of such U.S. landmarks as the Statue of Liberty, Yellowstone National Park, Independence Hall, and other essential parcels of sovereign U.S. property. A portion of the admission to these symbols of American freedom now goes directly to UNESCO. We need to ask our elected members of Congress exactly how this happened. We must let Congress know that we do not want the U.S. To rejoin UNESCO. http://www.sierratimes.com/02/09/13/morse.htm

National Park Service: The First 75 Years
Biographical Vignettes

John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
1874-1960

EXCERPT http://www.cr.nps.gov/history/online_books/sontag/rockefeller.htm

"Born in 1874. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was the fifth child and only son of John D. Rockefeller, the builder of Standard Oil. The elder Rockefeller became America's first billionaire...."

"...With his father, he participated in the creation of notable philanthropic institutions such as the Rockefeller Institute, the General Education Board, and the Rockefeller Foundation. He was the major contributor to the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, a general purpose foundation. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is probably best remembered for the sponsorship of the construction of the Rockefeller Center in New York City, funding the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg, and DONATING LAND IN NEW YORK CITY FOR THE UNITED NATIONS COMPLEX.

In the field of conservation, Mr. ROCKEFELLER'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO NATIONAL PARKS ARE NO LESS IMPORTANT. HE PURCHASED AND DONATED THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF LAND TO PARKS USING FINANCES OR FOUNDATION GRANTS. For example. through the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial, HE DONATED $5 MILLION TO BUY PRIVATE LANDS IN THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS" [see: Yesterday's People: going, going, gone. (Wildlands Project becomes a reality in North Carolina) By Henry Lamb - http://www.citizenreviewonline.org/august_2001/wildlands_project_becomes_a_reality_in_north_carolina.htm ] "in the beautiful spirit of my mother." Acadia, Shenandoah, [ See Appalachian Trail of Tears - sixty years ago they were evicted from the Blue Ridge to make way for Shenandoah National Park http://www.usgennet.org/usa/va/shenan/trail_of_tears.htm ]
and Grand Teton national parks also received generous donations of land from Mr. Rockefeller. In the 1920s, when commercial loggers threatened to destroy large stands of sugar pines adjacent to Yosemite, he provided more than $1 million to save 15,000 acres of forest. Mr. Rockefeller financed the construction of museums in Mesa Verde, Grand Canyon, and Yellowstone [ see Whose Heritage and Whose Land? The Phyllis Schlafly Report, September 1997 - http://www.warroom.com/whose.htm ] national parks. In 1972 Congress honored his contributions by creating a memorial parkway between Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks, which bears his name. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., symbolizes the philanthropic spirit of many American families, foundations, and individuals that have been vital to the national parks.

Preserving Our Past For The Future
http://www.cr.nps.gov/history/online_books/sontag/sontag6.htm


"...Natural resource management was restructured along ecological lines following a 1963 report by a committee of distinguished scientists chaired by A. Starker Leopold. "As a primary goal, we would recommend that THE BIOTIC ASSOCIATIONS WITHIN EACH PARK BE MAINTAINED, OR WHERE NECESSARY RECREATED, AS NEARLY AS POSSIBLE IN THE CONDITION THAT PREVAILED WHEN THE AREA WAS FIRST VISITED BY THE WHITE MAN," the Leopold Report declared. [See Wildlands Project Revealed http://www.wildlandsprojectrevealed.org ]. "A national park should represent a vignette of primitive America." The natural roles of predators, once routinely killed, and wildfire, customarily suppressed, received special emphasis...."

"....The historic preservation activities of the Service expanded dramatically beyond the parks. Responding to the destructive effects of urban renewal, highway construction, and other federal projects during the postwar era, the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 authorized the Service to maintain a comprehensive NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES. National Register properties — publicly or privately owned, locally or nationally significant — would receive special consideration in federal project planning and various forms of assistance to encourage their preservation...."

[In Rappahannock, VA recently, a woman who had huddled with an architect for about a year, to build a $400-500,000 house in the Historic Town of Little Washington, was turned down because her neighbors feared that the concrete siding, which looks like the real thing but doesn't need to be painted, would leave the house still standing 30 or 40 years down the road, 'after the others had fallen down'!]

About The New World Order Map:

This map was discovered by Helen Somers in a window in Philadelphia during World War II. It was completed in October 1941, before Pearl Harbor, was printed in bright colors by a cartographer named Maurice Gomberg in Philadelphia in 1942, and was displayed in his store window. Helen Somers immediately recognized the significance of the map and purchased several. At least a few original copies are still in existence, including one in the Library of Congress in Washington, DC.

The original source of the plan that is described in detail on the map is not given. However, an examination of numerous documents of the period relating to the new world order indicate that the source must have been individuals related to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and/or the U.S. State Department.

The bottom of the map contains a detailed explanation of the U.S. policy for the New World Order. Some of the points of this policy are as follows:

A new world order for permanent peace and freedom will be established at the end of the War.

The U.S.A. must, altruistically, assume the leadership of the newly established world order.

The U.S.A., Britain, and the U.S.S.R. will undertake to guarantee peace to the nations, which will be permanently disarmed and demilitarized.

The U.S.A. will become invincible as a military, naval, and air power.

The U.S.S.R. will acquire the republics of Eastern Europe after the War.

There will be a demilitarized, federated United States of Europe.

Canada, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean islands will be incorporated into the United States of America.

The land of the ancient Hebrews, known as Palestine and Trans-Jordan, will be united as a demilitarized republic called Hebrewland.

All natural resouces will be nationalized and distributed to all nations.

Banking, investments, railroads, and power plants will be nationalized everywhere.

A world common monetary system will be established.

The unified "Supreme War Council of the United Nations" will be reorganized and transformed into a "Supreme Military and Economic Council" to assist in reconstruction and to enforce world peace.

Regionalism: The Implementation
of the New World Order

---

Regionalism is the reordering and rearrangement of governments and jurisdictions so as to transfer power from elected legislative bodies to the executive branch and appointed officials. The international planners have divided the world into regions. The national planners have divided the individual countries into regions. The state planners have divided the states into regions.

At the international level, treaties are crafted and pushed through national legislatures in order to create international organizations and erode national sovereignty (e.g., NAFTA and GATT). A concerted effort is made to combine nations or portions of nations in order to provide an argument for international control.

At the national level, countries are divided into regions by executive order and councils of executive appointees are set up to control each region (e.g., the ten federal regions set up by President Nixon). Control is exercised through zoning and land use regulations and by requirements attached to federal grant money. Multiple states or portions of several states are included to bring the regions under federal jurisdiction.

The same process is repeated at the state level. Regional planning commissions are set up to control all development and funding through land use regulations and direction of spending of tax revenues. The planning commissions are composed of individuals appointed by state Governors, county commissioners, and city mayors, and often include federal appointees. They are not composed of elected representatives of the people who are accountable to the people.

At the local level, regionalism means the combining of municipalities to form new governmental units, with transfer of functions and control from the local level to the county, state, or federal level.

By this process of regionalization, the people lose all control over their own property and their own future. They are oppressed with heavy taxation, endless regulations, and swarms of bureaucrats and officials. This is socialist tyranny, and this is the goal of the New World Order planners.

I was looking for Henry's article on the Wildlands Project. He wrote it several years ago, and had it back on his site one day last week. The next time I checked you had to be a member to view it. It's a helluva article if you can get it. Also check out The New American - Battle for Sustainable Freedom - April 29, 1996. It's on the link above. I found it yesterday and have been studying it; IT IS A MUST READ. Use link above or link here: The New American - Battle for Sustainable Freedom http://www.thenewamerican.com/tna/1996/vo12no09/vo12no09_sustainable_freedom.htm


They are using the Wildlands Project and all their various and other sundry and nefarious projects to steal NOT only our land, but to set up REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS, WHEREBY WE WOULD LOSE OUR SOVEREIGNTY, OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC AND BILL OF RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS, AND WOULD COME UNDER THE RULE OF THE COMMUNIST UNITED NATIONS AND ITS UNELECTED NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS (NGO'S)(the following from the New American article)........


Bioregional Approach


According to McDonnell, "All of the principles and objectives outlined in the Global Biodiversity Assessment" -- including the essentials of the Wildlands Project -- "have been embraced by the President's Council on Sustainable Development, circumventing the fact that we stopped the Senate from ratifying the treaty." Furthermore, through Vice President Gore's "reinventing government" initiative, the GBA's principles and objectives have been integrated into the mandates for the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of the Interior.


One immediate result of this development is the Clinton Administration's adoption of the UN's "bioregional management" approach to environmental regulation. The PCSD report asserts: "Many scientists and resource managers now believe that biodiversity ... can only be protected through cooperative efforts across large landscapes that often cross ownership boundaries"; it recommends that "communities in a region work together to deal with issues that transcend jurisdictional and other boundaries."


Interior Secretary Babbitt also endorsed "bioregional management" in his address to the National Religious [!!!!] Partnership on the Environment, in which he stated that the Clinton Administration's environmental vision "unites all state, county, and federal workers under a common moral goal. It erases artificial borders" -- such as constitutional limitations on federal power and jurisdiction, for example -- "so we can see the full range of natural habitat.... And it makes us see all the creatures that are collectively rooted to one habitat, and how, by keeping that habitat intact, we ensure the survival of the species."


One example of the Clinton Administration's "bioregional" approach is the Northwest Forest Plan, which Babbitt proudly describes as "a holistic agreement" intended to preserve "critical habitat" across state borders. The Forest Plan was created in closed sessions by un elected bureaucrats in connivance with unaccountable eco-activists -- providing a preview of the fashion in which "bioregional councils" would operate under the UN's Biodiversity regime.

The Wildlands radicals are eagerly advancing the UN/Clinton Administration design, demanding the complete eradication of local and state jurisdictions -- and, eventually, national borders. "Over time, each regional planning group will develop a map-based program for their bioregion," explains Michael Soule. "Later, representatives of the bioregional groups will meet and integrate their plans into a national, then continental strategy."


Unaccountable "Consensus"


The "bioregional councils" under development would be governed by representatives of the "international civil society" -- UN-accredited non-governmental organizations (NGO), many of them taxpayer-funded and foundation-subsidized. From 1993-95, the U.S. Department of the Interior allocated more than $242 million to some 869 NGOs and activists, including the Nature Conservancy, which (as noted above) spearheads property acquisition efforts on behalf of the eco-regulatory apparat. Such groups, Henry Lamb explained, "are considered the authentic voice of public opinion because they always support the UN-defined 'consensus.' Public opinion that doesn't support the UN's 'consensus' is called 'populist action' and is discounted altogether."


Citing Our Global Neighborhood, the report of the UN-aligned Commission on Global Governance, Lamb suggested that the "bioregional councils" may eventually be used as administrative units of a UN-dominated world government. He pointed out that Our Global Neighborhood recommends that the UN's "Trusteeship Council," an obsolete organ which had been used to manage decolonization efforts, be entrusted with the management of the "global commons" -- that is, the regulation of the environment.


According to Lamb, "The report calls for the creation of a 'Petitions Council' composed of five to seven representatives of accredited NGOs. They would help direct funding decisions, define administrative duties, and authorize enforcement actions. The world would be divided up into bioregions administered by bioregional councils under direct supervision of the UN and with enforcement authority through the petitions council." In anticipation of this development, Lamb observed, "The map of the U.S. is being redrawn into 21 bio-regions, and current federal policy is to eradicate county and state boundaries by subsuming them into contiguous 'eco-systems.'"


Another indication of the Clinton Administration's subservience to the UN's environmental agenda was the President's decision to grant "the privileges and immunities that provide or pertain to immunity from suit" to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) by Executive Order on January 18th. Lamb referred to the IUCN as "the grandaddy of environmental NGOs." Co-created by Julian Huxley, the devout eugenicist and social Darwinist who served as the founding director-general of the United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization,* In 1947 Huxley wrote that among UNESCO's most urgent tasks was "to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care, and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake so that much that now is unthinkable may at least become thinkable." Accordingly, it is appropriate that the IUCN produced the UN's Global Biodiversity Assessment, which suggests that the human population should be reduced to one billion.

---

the IUCN is the major umbrella for the environmental groups which are carrying out the mandates of the Biodiversity treaty and the Wildlands Project.*******


"When the IUCN was given the equivalent of diplomatic immunity by Bill Clinton, we just about jumped out of our skins," Lamb recalled. "We called the White House, the office of the Vice President, and leaders on Capitol Hill, and nobody was able to tell us why it was done. We've still got some requests for information in, and maybe, if we are lucky, by the year 2000 somebody will condescend to respond." Michael Coffman, expressing similar dismay over the Administration's decision, stated, "The only reason why such an order would be issued would be to allow IUCN -- an unelected group with no mandate or legal standing -- to create and implement policy in this country in ways that injure American citizens. It's simply outrageous."

United Nations to Confiscate "All" Private Property
The Christian ALERT Network (TCAN) - A careful analysis of major United Nations documents and plans reveals that, without exception, the UN concept of a One World Government (OWG) MUST include the confiscation of "ALL" private property. Private property by definition, includes "ALL" local church properties, individual private homes, lands and farms, private business and "ALL" other private property. Confiscation of "ALL" private property is absolutely necessary in order for the UN to "redistribute the worlds wealth" which is a primary objective of the United Nations. Private ownership of land is not compatible with socialism, communism, or with global governance as described by the United Nations. Stalin, Hitler, Castro, Mao - all took steps to forcefully nationalize the land as an essential first step toward controlling their citizens. The UN, without the use of military force, is attempting to achieve the same result. The land policy of the United Nations was first officially articulated at the United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat I), held in Vancouver, May 31 - June 11, 1976. Agenda Item 10 of the Conference Report sets forth the UN's official policy on land. The Preamble says: "Land...cannot be treated as an ordinary asset controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice; if unchecked it may become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation of development schemes. The provision of decent dwellings and healthy conditions for the people can only be achieved if land is used in the interests of society as a whole. Public control of land use is therefore indispensable...." The Preamble is followed by nine pages of specific policy recommendations endorsed by the participating nations, including the United States.
