All hail our mastermind overlords - the ICLEI

| 1 Comment

Agenda 21 is a spear-point of the United Nations poking the USA in its side trying to infiltrate.

If we sign off on it, we can say goodbye to our sovereignty.

Here is the United Nations website. All fluffy bunnies and unicorns.

Here are a few sites that are more critical of Agenda 21:

From The Blaze:

Is the Soros-Sponsored 'Agenda 21' a Hidden Plan for World Government? (Yes, Only it Is Not Hidden)
What is Agenda 21? If you do not know about it, you should.

Agenda 21 is a two-decade old, grand plan for global "Sustainable Development," brought to you from the United Nations. George H.W. Bush (and 177 other world leaders) agreed to it back in 1992, and in 1995, Bill Clinton signed Executive Order #12858, creating a Presidential Council on "Sustainable Development." This effectively pushed the UN plan into America's large, churning government machine without the need for any review or discussion by Congress or the American people.

"Sustainable Development" sounds like a nice idea, right? It sounds nice, until you scratch the surface and find that Agenda 21 and Sustainable Development are really cloaked plans to impose the tenets of Social Justice/Socialism on the world.

At risk from Agenda 21:
Private Property ownership
Single-Family homes
Private car ownership and individual travel choices
Privately owned farms
The Agenda 21 plan openly targets private property. For over thirty-five years the UN has made their stance very clear on the issue of individuals owning land.

An excerpt from this 2009 article at American Thinker:

Undoubtedly, residents of any town, county, or city in the United States that treasure their freedom, liberty, and property rights couldn't care less whether it's called Agenda 21 or smart growth. A recent example of this can be found in Carroll County, Maryland, where a smart growth plan called Pathwayswas drafted by the County Planning Department. The plan, if enacted, proposed a breathtaking reshuffling of land rights:
Rezoning of thousands of acres of beautiful, low-density agricultural farmland and protected residential conservation land into office parks
Down-zoning of agriculture land to prevent future subdivision by farmers
Up-zoning of low-density residential land around small towns into higher density zoning to permit construction of hundreds or possibly thousands of inclusive housing units, including apartments and condominiums
Inclusive housing with placement of multi-family construction on in-fill lots within existing residential single family communities
Endorsement of government-sponsored housing initiatives (subsidies) to ensure healthier, balanced neighborhoods
Carroll County, Maryland is one of 1,168 cities, towns, and counties worldwide that are members of the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) - Local Governments for Sustainability, which is an international association of local governments as well as national and regional local government organizations that have made a commitment to sustainable development. The ICLEI mission statement closely resembles that of Agenda 21. In fact, the ICLEI has Special Consultative Status with the UN Economic and Social Council and coordinates local government representation in the UN processes related to Agenda 21.

Which brings me to this post -- the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives

This organization is the very tip of the spear -- this is what urban planners sign on to and proceed to make our lives miserable.

I looked at their list of international membersand saw the following names from Washington State:

Cities:
Bainbridge Island, Bellevue, Bellingham, Bothell, Coupeville, Edmonds, Everett, Issaquah, Kirkland, Lacey, Lynnwood, Mercer Island, Oak Harbor, Olympia, Port Townsend, Redmond, Renton, SeaTac, Seattle, Shoreline, Spokane, Tacoma, Tumwater

Counties:
Clallam County, Island County, King County, Skagit County, Snohomish County, Thurston County

A couple of surprises and a couple of slam-dunks. Everett, Oak Harbor, SeaTac are all conservative military cities -- odd to see them adopting this globalist agenda. Port Townsend (which I dearly love) is about as progressive as you can get so no surprise there. Ditto Olympia and Mercer Island is in a class by itself being the city where Stanley Dunham's parents moved for the Marxist school (Stanley being B. Obama's mom): Mercer Island High School:

Mercer Island High School was a hotbed of pro-Marxist radical teachers. John Stenhouse, board member, told the House Un-American Activities Subcommittee that he had been a member of the Communist Party USA and this school has a number of Marxists on its staff. Two teachers at this school, Val Foubert and Jim Wichterman, both Frankfurt School style Marxists, taught a critical theory curriculum to students which included; rejection of societal norms and questioning authority, attacks on Christianity, the traditional family, and assigned readings by Karl Marx. The hallway between Foubert's and Wichterman classrooms were called "anarchy ally."

They are still neck deep in it:

Stanley Dunham Scholarship Fund
The Stanley Ann Dunham Scholarship Fund empowers young women to realize their potential as leaders and active world citizens. A college scholarship is awarded annually to a Mercer Island High School senior who has demonstrated her commitment to the promotion of inter-cultural understanding and the social and economic rights of women.

Sorry for the rambling post but, I am glad to see that Whatcom County is not listed and this odious organization is now on my radar. If I see it coming up for vote for Whatcom County. I will be very vocal in my opposition.

Ferndale was on the list at one time, but decided not to renew its membership, since there is a fee involved. The problem with that is, though, that code changes take place as a result of involvement with ICLEI, so even though a membership is cancelled damage has been done. You would have to do some research to find out what changes took place during the ICLEI years, and then revise them.

It is possible that Whatcom County was also at one time a member of ICLEI, but no longer is.
