When discussing Agenda 21, the foremost thing to contemplate before even beginning a discussion is fear and blame. Understanding what they are and how they can control people is intrinsic to the discussion.

You may scoff and think that you know perfectly well what they are, as it’s safe to say that everyone does. Why discuss this?

It might be that fear and blame was all about the “Big Idea” George Bush, Sr. was talking about when he announced that we were on the verge of a “New World Order” on September 11 of 1990.

Fear puts everyone in a fight, flight or freeze state. It is not conducive to clear thought. It is a mode of self-protection to be used only in moments of crisis. But, what if we are constantly in a state of fear because of media reports from global catastrophe to threats of terrorism? It is not good health-wise and certainly not good for making rational decisions or being able to properly consider whether to accept or block-out information given to us.

Blame, on the other hand, makes someone else responsible for our plight. It’s far easier to blame others than ourselves. What it does is divides people. Haves and have-nots, legals and illegals, racial divisions, the list goes on and on. Blame quickly makes victims out of us and stops most people in their tracks because one eventually ends up with a feeling of helplessness.

So, let’s consider Agenda 21 with that in mind. There is no one to blame besides ourselves and if we let fear get the better of us, we will also fall into a trap. Both will get us nowhere in our search to right our society, ensuring that each one of us can live our lives in peace and prosperity.

Agenda 21 is all about sustainability and how humanity is causing “climate change” and polluting our Earth. Supposedly, we are headed toward destruction. It’s a crisis that only the scientists can remedy. The “experts” have laid out a plan to save humanity from itself. What it all comes down to is that the “little people” who “know nothing” must be guided into a society that sustains the environment, putting the natural environment on equal or superior footing to humankind, relegating us humans to animal status.

We are also being told that if we don’t share, we don’t care. It is a concept that could be likened to casting pearls before swine. Sharing with others who have no appreciation of what is given is ill-conceived and illogical. Compare it to giving your five-year-old a hundred dollar bill for necessities. A five-year-old will probably think toys and candy are necessities. The five-year-old will have no concept of how hard you worked for that hundred dollar bill. In the end, the experts tell those who receive what to do with other people’s money.

We are being taught to blame ourselves and one another for the condition of the world. We are being led down a path of fear to not only what awaits us, but to fearing one another. The 99% against the 1% and so on.

Because there is a “crisis” with the energy grid and our over-usage of energy, we need to give electric companies public funds to fix it with an oft used Agenda 21 term “smart” grid, and not only that, but to allow others to decide how much energy we use with “smart” meters.

If you are given someone else’s money, will you spend it as if it were your own? The legislators who are all for public-private partnerships are playing right into the United Nation’s hands, spending other people’s money to control their constituents. Therefore, taxpayers are being asked from many governmental entities to pay for taking away their liberty in the name of a supposed crisis that should have been remedied long ago.

As an example, the “smart” grid will make it much easier for hackers to take down the grid system. And since energy deregulation, all the independent grids have merged making our power grid much more vulnerable nation-wide. When one grid happens to go down, a cascading effect can take down the rest of the grids. Even though the studies have been suppressed and many people suffer ill-health from the “smart” meters, we are supposed to allow them to “beam” into our homes, increasing their strength as it relays from one location to another in the name of sustainability.

The increase in taxation from things like this, lowers our standard of living. It gives over more control of our daily lives, making choices for us with which we may not agree. It enriches the businesses and their stockholders that get the tax dollars.

Another method commonly used to divert taxpayer money is through government partnership with “foundations” or agencies. An example would be an economic group that receives tax dollars.

These groups are usually composed of businesses, government elected officials and members of governmental agencies. In defiance of the open meetings act where entities receiving tax dollars must hold public meetings, their meetings are often held in private and benefit the individuals who participate down to the people who manage the group. One way these groups get around the open meetings act is to charge “fees” to help make the governmental entity and their constituents more “sustainable” or “prosperous.”

One of these groups is a U.N. Agenda 21 group called ICLEI, once called International Council on Local Environmental Initiatives and now called Local Governments for Sustainability, that brings the concept home, right to your front door, through your whole house and into your back yard. Even though the acronym no longer matches, it is pronounced “ickly.”

Though the group states, that its “members come from 70 different countries worldwide and represent over 569,885,000 people,” most of us have never heard of it. For some reason, elected officials can join this group without the consent of the people who they are supposed to represent. Sometimes whole communities join but the voters often have no idea what this group is truly about and neither do many well-intentioned people who join.

ICLEI is a group that sells the sustainability concept to communities, offering services, for a fee, like determining what a community’s carbon footprint is.

It is almost laughable that Agenda 21 focuses on CO2 being a culprit when it is necessary for life. There is no evidence that it causes anything except for plants to grow more abundantly, making more oxygen for oxygen breathing organisms to thrive.

Next article, ICLEI will be discussed more thoroughly because it directly impacts our ability to be free and prosper by eliminating land rights. Its methods are so subtle that it makes one almost wonder if it is a conspiracy theory until you analyze from personal experience on how they corral people into being agents for them and by-passing the democratic process.

It’s call the Delphi Technique, developed by the Rand Corporation in the 1950s.
