What is Agenda 21?

By Chris Carter

“Agenda 21 proposes an array of actions which are intended to be implemented by every person on Earth…it calls for specific changes in the activities of all people… Effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound reorientation of all humans, unlike anything the world has ever experienced… ” - Agenda 21: The Earth Summit Strategy to Save Our Planet (Earthpress, 1993).

The UN plan referenced by Newt Gingrich is a real threat to private property and US sovereignty.

Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich stated during a recent campaign event that the United Nations was seeking to create an “extraconstitutional control” over the US with programs like Agenda 21. Gingrich's remarks are featured in a YouTube video. But what is Agenda 21,  and why has it taken nearly 20 years before this subject got national recognition?

Agenda 21 seeks to control populations through zoning and seizure of private property, strip national sovereignty, reduce the world population, even control our consumption of meat and air conditioning ... all in the name of the environment. And who can be against the environment, right?

Hundreds of non-governmental organizations benefit from U.S. taxpayer dollars, but often neglect refugees after they settle in the U.S.

UN screening of film dubbed ‘anti-Israel’ in keeping with policy

As the world body prepares to show the film 'Miral', the UN General Assembly would benefit from a showing of 'The Stoning of Soraya M.'The UN plans to show the film Miral on Monday night in the main hall of the General Assembly, and the world body’s decision has sparked outrage from groups like the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee. The Daily Caller also said the government of Israel has joined these groups in opposing the showing of the film at that venue.

The film tells the story of the Palestinians’ conflict with Israel as told from the perspective of an orphaned Palestinian.

 In the aftermath of Israel’s creation, Arab countries treated refugees as guests, setting up camps rather than attempting to incorporate them into their societies.  I don’t know whether the film focuses on the roles other governments played in decisions leading to unrest.

GOP seeks return of millions from overpayments into UN tax fund

Besides our federal bureaucracy, is there an organization anywhere in the world that capitalizes on US individual wealth more than the United Nations?

Now Republicans in the US House of Representatives have filed a resolution “To secure the return to the United States the $179 million overpaid into the United Nations Tax Equalization Fund as of December 31, 2009, and for other purposes.” The resolution apparently doesn’t have a number yet—notice of this was included in an email from Rep. Eric Cantor’s (R-Va.) office. Cantor is majority leader.

With eye on domestic debt, US should cut UN funding

As debt for domestic programs grows, The US should consider cutting funds to the United Nations. This sprawling bureaucracy has become nothing more than a political mechanism interested in power and wealth redistribution.

Neil Stevens, in an article at Red State titled ‘It’s time to defund the United Nations,’ said, “In 2009 we were assessed 22% of the budget of the UN, and paid out slightly under 24% of what was collected, thanks to the Tax Equalization Fund system*. So in practice we paid about a quarter of the UN budget. Without us, the UN has to do some serious belt tightening.”
