UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development is the action plan to inventory and control all land, all water, all minerals, all plants, all animals, all construction, all means of production, all information, all energy, and all human beings in the world. INVENTORY AND CONTROLAgenda 21 came out of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and signed by U. S. President George HW Bush along with 178 other world leaders. It is commonly referred to as a blueprint or action plan for sustainable development worldwide and includes involvement at the global, national and local levels. In its simplest terms, it is predicated on the assumption that much of human activity has a potentially destructive effect on the environment. The UN called it Agenda 21 because it is their Agenda for the 21st century. According to then UN Secretary General Maurice Strong, the affluent middle-class American lifestyle is unsustainable. That includes single-family homes, private vehicles, appliances, air-conditioning, and meat eating. They are a threat to the planet. United Nations Agenda 21 goes by many different names, Bike able, Biodegradable, Cap and Trade, Carbon Emissions, Climate Change, Compostable, Eco-Footprint, Eco-Friendly, Green, Livable, Net Zero, Recyclable, Renewable, Smart Growth, Sustainability 2030/40/50, Transform, Walkable. Sustainability is about doing with less of anything and paying more for everything; less water, less food, less meat, no cars, no air conditioning. Pay more for gas, heat, food, clothing, transportation. If this plan succeeds, you will own nothing and rent everything. Destroying the economies of these United States and other nations is part of their global strategy. It is the focus of their efforts in the Western Hemisphere especially. Destroy & puppet. This systemic and brutal hegemonic force will not stop until Earth is under one dollar, one world, one bank, one ruling class, and their serfs; us -- for all of Earth. This is about money and power. Always follow the moneyYou sir, are a shill and a sellout.

We are all at different stages of the Matrix. I am for a sustainable world we live in but at the same time we should watch our backs. I believe SMART is an inversion which really means DUMB-: that word Smart, it pops up everywhere now. Inform yourselves on Morgellons & Smart Dust. make of it what you will. Agenda 21 could very well be a gateway into a world like Nineteen-Eighty-Four & Brave New World. What technology is capable of today is terrifying and could be the very thing used to murder us (this is not outside the realms of possibility) so we've got to watch our backs. keep our eyes peeled- watch closely at events unfolding around us. Stay on the fence, question everything, don't trust mainstream media- they continuously lie, manipulate and twist the truth, view all the sides to every argument, listen to speeches of others who have differing views from yours which you might not think you'd agree with, stop with this divide and rule & that should go for all of us. Unless you're one of the ones high up on the pyramid, we 99%ers really don't know shit at the end of the day no matter how much we look into things- whether things like Agenda 21 really are about implementing a One World Government or whether it really is a good thing at the end of the day, at this moment in time none of us truly knows. You could be right here or you could be wrong. People are continuously saying that conspiracy theorists are stopping progress but how do they really truly know? Neither side knows because we are shrouded in a giant question mark. There are many possible warning signs taking place that show a Dystopian Future plan in mind (such as 5G for example- something to possibly look out for) and so on. 'Don't just teach your children to readTeach them to question what they read. Teach them to question everything. ' - George Carlin. If we don't do as Carlin says we can never evolve as a species.

I think this video could be improved by elaborating on why higher population densities were people walk to where they work and shop should be our ultimate goal in planning communities. Comparing Agenda 21 to it's most polarized critics glosses over clarifying why the intentions are laudable to begin with and the implication that it's the only/best way to achieve them. For example, if you want to have a lower carbon impact, a sea of suburban homes with solar rooftops seems just as practical (to a novice like myself) as solar panels on parking structures and high-rises. When people telework using technology and shop online to buy from a much larger market, it would seem like the consumer ends up with a more competitive market rather than being gouged by the local bodega to support someone's livelihood to the current standard of living. I might not want to move where I live to get access to a new school, new job, or new retailers. Massive Open Online Courses, Khan Academy, and other online learning opportunities are growing. As telemedicine takes hold and people can have a virtual conference with their doctor where they don't even have to sit in a waiting room (detracting overall societal value, or have robotic centers where remote surgery can be performed, some of the institutional necessities will not be inaccessible in the sprawl. However, when people are forced to share a smaller amount of space, I worried that they tend to either conflict with one another, sometimes violently, or grow to think the same (continuous group-think) stifling creativity, self-reliance, and can single out the other as a minority to be scorned.

Hello, from Caracas, Venezuela. Ive been watching many of your videos and I find them all quite interesting and informative. As a public law attorney I could say there is one more reason the far right all over the world fights against the agenda 21 and the idea of city planning alltogether. City planning requires local and national authorities to exercise power limitating the socalled absolute right to property. If societies are to plann their cities, they must limit the use that landlords give to their real estate, that is, they cant do with it whatever they want. The far right sees this as an despicable violation of freedom expressed in their property rights. Therefore they actually fight against the idea the the federal or local goverment or parliament are to determin or limit the right to property and the freedom to use it however they might please, wheter building a skycraper or not using it to its full capacity. That idia, I think, is the key to understand why the far right resists from a fundamentalist poit of vew to the whole city planning and smart growth movement. They see it as a matter of individual guaranties in front of big state powers.

Most of this smart economy stuff is impractical and used as a way to trick honest and well-meaning people into supporting higher taxes and increased government control of the economy. They propose some nice sounding ideas that are absurd from an engineering/economic perspective and will likely never pan out as planned, but most people aren't engineers and economists, conveniently enough. People wouldn't get so up in arms about things like global warming and green solutions if every single solution proposed didn't involve stealing money straight from our pockets in order to support unprofitable and inefficient policies that cripple our economies and reduce our standard of living. Since we're on the topic of hyperbole and conspiracy theories, all the fear mongering and doomsaying doesn't help their case much either. The right has Glen Beck, the left has nu-Bill Nye. We'll call it even.

If Smart Growth doesn't involve assessing and taxing land values [the rent of location], it's not smart at all. Every value of location left untaxed is free to be pledged as rent to landlords or to money lenders as interest. Land-Value Taxation should replace taxation on labor, buildings, sales, and enterprise. Land is the 1st factor of production. Land is the Natural Commons [made by Nature or God, NOT Man - thus, Land is NOT Capital]. Improved values of land are a result of both public sector and private sector investment and labor. Thus, these [collectively produced] values should be pledged to the Public Authority, instead of allowing them to be privatized [aka. levied as a 100% private tax on the real economy]. We have to distinguish between Wealth Creation economic activity and Wealth Extraction economic activity. We have to untax the former and tax the latter.

Given global population growth projections I could understand that. I am always remained of Thomas Robert Malthus and his paper Essay on the Principle of Population. I don't believe he was entirely wrong in North America we have 30 million people living in poverty. With billions more living in hunger and poverty globally. This problem will only get worse unless you covence the 3rd world to lower its birth rate below 3. 5 like the developed world. I love Bill Gates attempt to lower the infant mortality rates globally. Studies have shown if ones offspring lives they are less likely to have more children. Once global population growth slows and stabilizes technology can grow to meet demand. What really worries me is American food production peak two years ago and hasn't risen since.

If youre going to seriously address the conspiracy, theres important considerations that werent addressed. Tesla pioneered our understanding of frequency, energy, and vibration; even into the essence of matter. People have frequency, frequencies effects can be observed in water. Our military and top scientists understand its applications. Frequency has been increasing due to technological applications and smart systems and has been increasing effects on people. Autism, or wide neurological diversity may be influenced by rf signals and the like. When 5th gen wireless is broadcast, the signal bombardment will be inescapable. Look up the effects, people. Look up Tesla. Dont listen to straw man arguments. Hope youre preparing as the government suggests. Toodles and have a nice life

The only reason why people have problems with Agenda 21 is that the homes in new, dense, transit-oriented housing developments are often prohibitively expensive. Combine that with impact fees, and many people, especially if they have kids, simply don't have the resources or job security to be able to pay back their mortgage. Also, if you have kids, cars are incredibly convenient. Many of these newer areas are almost hostile towards car owners, with limited and expensive parking. Ironically, these measures are actually pushing people into the suburbs or satellite communities around larger cities, where they can actually afford a house and don't have to pay extra for a place to park their car.

You skipped one important point: People don't trust politicians and public servants. I used to consider myself liberal and after what I saw in Europe. my ideal for all my liberal beliefs. I found myself leaning conservative. While I agree with smart development and the use of mass transit and more open and green public spaces instead of cars. The Left has used Global Warming to scare people rather than educate them. The same with immigration. in the name of diversity we are killing diversity. making our cities and communities uniformed melting pots without identify.
