MONSANTO AND AGENDA 21: THE SHOCKING TRUTH THAT IS HIDING
IN PLAIN SIGHT
Nov.
26, 2012
Welcome to the post that will probably get me labeled as paranoid and crazy.
I expect this post to get me criticized for being just
another crazy right-winger spreading fear. (For the record, I’m not right or
left wing). I also fully expect to loose subscribers
over this post, so that should say something about how important I feel this
information is.
So let’s start at the beginning. Anyone who reads this blog knows how strongly I feel about sustainable and environmentally-friendly ways of life. Anyone who reads this blog also knows how anti-Monsanto I am. I am doing everything I can in every way I know how to fight Monsanto, because Monsanto is destroying our environment (not to mention human health), quite possibly beyond repair.
Two weeks ago, I watched for the first time a YouTube
video entitled “Agenda 21 for Dummies.” I dismissed it as craziness. Just another conspiracy theory. You can watch it here:
Do you want to know the main reason I dismissed it?
Because the video claims that the U.N. is working with world governments to
control the world for the purpose of forcing environmental sustainability.
Apparently George H. W. Bush signed us onto Agenda 21 in 1992. So if Agenda 21
is all about saving the environment, why is the U.S. Government so obviously
supportive of Monsanto?
“Even if Agenda 21 is for real, we’re not going to have
to worry about it for a good long time, because right now everyone is pushing
further development of GMO ‘biotechnology,’ which is anything but
environmentally friendly,” I thought.
One thing confused me though. In the video above, at
1:37, the “green goal” is referenced, in which is listed everything that will
be done away with under the new world regime, things which Agenda 21 does not
perceive to be “sustainable.” Included in this list are: commercial farms,
herbicides, pesticides, irrigation, farmlands, pastures, and grazing of
livestock. This list rules out both commercial agriculture
(herbicides, pesticides, irrigation), and sustainable agriculture (farmlands,
pastures, grazing of livestock). So how do they intend to feed everyone?
It didn’t make sense, so I dismissed it.
I wish I could say that was the end of it, but Agenda 21 kept popping up on my radar.
Finally I decided I needed to research it for myself.
Here’s what I learned:
“Agenda
21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and
locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major
Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.”
(Straight From the United Nations Website)
Agenda
21 is the “agenda for the 21st century,” put together by the United Nations and
signed by over 178 of the worlds’ governments.
The original draft was and still is soft law, which means
it is completely voluntary. It is a plan for “sustainable development,” agreed
upon and signed at the United Nations meeting of 1992. George H.W. Bush signed
the United States on at this time, and was able to do so without approval from
Congress because Agenda 21 is soft law. During this U.N. meeting, specific plans
of implementation were agreed upon and put into effect. In 2002, at the World
Summit for Sustainable Development, progress was monitored and evaluated.
Further implementation was put into effect.
If you
Google search Agenda 21, here’s what you will find:
Agenda 21 has infiltrated our entire culture, without our
awareness. Public programs that have anything to do with sustainability are
almost always part of Agenda 21, including the Reduce, Re-use, Recycle
movement, the movement to Go Green, and the phraze
“Think Globally, Act Locally.” Here are a few more things that are part of
Agenda 21: smart growth, government-subsidized housing, bike boulevards,
neighborhood summits, and neighborhood revitalization and stabilization
projects.
The goal of Agenda 21 is to push farmers off their land,
push people out of the country and into the city, push people out of privately
owned-homes and into government-susidized housing,
push people out of privately-owned cars and into public transportation or onto
bikes, ect. The ultimate goal is to see the collapse
of free market so that the wealth of developed countries can be distributed to
developing countries. Also, to turn 50% of the world’s land mass into
designated wilderness areas which will be untouched by human activity. These
wilderness areas will be surrounded by buffer zones, and the remaining 25% of
the land mass with be “human settlements,” where all the
world’s population will be crammed into government housing, with quarters
stacked for stories upon stories so as to use space responsibly.
All of this will be done under the guise of
sustainability: to stop the destruction of the environment that is caused by
free market, urban sprawl, waste, and consumerism in developed countries that
value individual rights.
Crazy huh? Now can you see why I
dismissed this at first?
I
decided to read the actual Agenda 21 documents for myself.
Here’s what I found: The Agenda 21 documents lay out a
detailed plan for the U.N., in cooperation with world governments, to be
implemented globally, nationally, and locally. To be specific, the Agenda 21 documents lay out a very clear plan for
government to slowly seize control of land, the water supply, energy,
electricity, and all of the world’s resources, under the guise of making sure
nothing goes to waste.
It’s all written as if the writers have the best interest
of humans and the environment at heart, but humans under this plan would have
no liberty and no rights other than basic rights such as food and shelter
(hence the government-subsidized housing.) This is very obviously
socialism/communism. I haven’t read the entire documents yet, and I can’t
substantiate all the claims that can be found on the internet. I have seen
references to “human settlements” and “designated wilderness areas,” but no
details yet on how these things would be implemented. To read the documents for
yourself, click here for Division for Sustainable Development
Agenda 21 or here for the Draft International Covenant on
Environment and Development.
Reading all of these things for myself
was scary, I’ll be honest. On the one hand, I absolutely know that the
environment cannot continue to sustain urban sprawl, consumerism, pollution from cars and materials used to build homes, and the
waste of energy and resources by developed countries. That’s why I have been
working literally around the clock on this blog, in the hopes of effecting
change on the individual level. The last thing I want is for sustainability to
be forced on everyone by the government. We have history to show us what
happens when people are enslaved by the government. It’s hard to believe that
something like this could happen again, here in Amercia,
the Land of the Free.
When I went to read the documents I was hoping to have
these fears put to rest – to see that as usual, things read on the internet had
been exaggerated. Instead, I saw what is happening in the
world right before my eyes carefully planned out in a 1992 document
written by the U.N. Farmers ARE being pushed off their land. People ARE loosing their homes. Government-subsidized housing IS being
built in certain areas. Small businesses have been closing for years, but now
we have large businesses also closing their doors. Our free market has become
very unstable. All of these things could just be coincidence, of course, and
that’s what I kept telling myself. “After all…Monsanto,” I would remind myself.
Monsanto is the exact opposite of sustainable farming. It’s a menace to
environmental sustainability, and our government endorses it.
And that’s when it all came together in my mind.
What was that everyone was complaining about the week
after elections when Prop 37 didn’t pass? “I don’t know how Monsanto can call themselves ‘sustainable agriculture!’” It was all over the
internet. “Go look at Monsanto’s website! They have the nerve to call
themselves sustainable agriculture!”
It dawned on me this morning and I decided to jump ahead
in my reading. I scanned the Agenda 21 chapter titles, looking for something I
desperately hoped I would not find. But find it I did: Agenda 21, Chapter 16:
Environmentally Sound Management of Biotechnology.
Biotechnology.
Anyone who knows anything about Monsanto can back me up.
Biotechnology is the word Monsanto uses to refer to their practices of genetic
modification.
Here are some quotes from Monsanto’s website: (I’m not
going to link to Monsanto’s website and increase their Google rankings. You can
read these and other quotes at Monsanto.com)
“In the hands of farmers, better seeds can help meet the
needs of today while preserving the planet for tomorrow.”
“But it’s important to note: the world doesn’t just need
more food. It also needs better food that’s more nutritious. And it needs to
find ways to make the process of growing food more efficient and aligned with
our environmental needs, so farmers use less water and land, and better utilize
things like fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides.”
“Right now, there is a big debate over how agriculture
should work, and we understand why. Agriculture affects all of us, directly and
indirectly. It affects us directly through the food we eat and it affects us
indirectly through its relationship to the environment, the use of natural
resources and the global economy. Even though farmers grow a lot more than food
(such as cotton for clothes and corn and grass for fuel), we think it’s a good
thing consumers are increasingly interested in understanding where their food
comes from. It’s the first step to understanding how agricultural systems work,
and what’s at stake.”
“Some people believe the correct answer to our challenges
is to move backwards in time toward an agricultural system that relies less on
human innovations and more on human labor. While we respect that opinion, we
don’t share it. Agriculture has benefited from technology and the people who
grow our food have sought new ways to improve their own lives—and ours—by
producing more with less.”
Sound like Agenda 21 much? This could have come right out
of Agenda 21 itself. Don’t believe me? Here are some quotes from Agenda 21, Chapter 16: Environmentally
Sound Management of Biotechnology:
“Biotechnology is the integration of the new techniques emerging from modern biotechnology with the well-established approaches of traditional biotechnology. Biotechnology, an emerging knowledge-intensive field, is a set of enabling techniques for bringing about specific man-made changes in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), or genetic material, in plants, animals and microbial systems, leading to useful products and technologies.
By itself, biotechnology cannot resolve all
the fundamental problems of environment and development, so expectations need
to be tempered by realism. Nevertheless, it promises to make a significant
contribution in enabling the development of, for example, better health care, enhanced food security through sustainable
agriculture practices, improved supplies of potable water, more
efficient industrial development processes for transforming raw materials,
support for sustainable methods of afforestation and reforestation, and detoxification
of hazardous wastes. ” [emphasis mine]
” To meet the
growing consumption needs of the global population, the challenge is not only
to increase food supply, but also to improve food distribution significantly
while simultaneously developing more sustainable agricultural systems.
Much of this increased productivity will need to take place in developing
countries. It will require the successful and environmentally safe application
of biotechnology in agriculture, in the environment and in human health care. ”
[emphasis mine]
“The following objectives are proposed, keeping in mind
the need to promote the use of appropriate safety measures based on programme area D:
(a) To increase
to the optimum possible extent the yield of major crops, livestock, and aquaculture
species, by using the combined resources of modern biotechnology and
conventional plant/animal/micro-organism improvement, including the more
diverse use of genetic material resources, both hybrid and original. 2/
Forest product yields should similarly be increased, to ensure the sustainable
use of forests; 3/
(b) To reduce the
need for volume increases of food, feed and raw materials by improving the
nutritional value (composition) of the source crops, animals and
micro-organisms, and to reduce post-harvest losses of plant and animal
products;
(c) To increase
the use of integrated pest, disease and crop management techniques to
eliminate overdependence on agrochemicals, thereby encouraging environmentally
sustainable agricultural practices…” [emphasis mine]
I bolded all the areas that are obvious references to
GMOs. You can read the entire chapter here.
Monsanto and GMO “Biotechnology” is part of Agenda 21
Apparently the U.N.’s plan to save the environment
includes “sustainable” GMO biotechnology. How can this be possible?
Because GMOs need less
water and less nutrients. They
yield far more result per acre than non-GMO crops. They don’t require use of
pesticides and herbicides, because, well, they ARE their own pesticide. (One
bite of GMO corn will kill pests.) This is Agenda 21′s plan to feed the
world without pesticides, herbicides, farmland, pastures, or grazing of
livestock.
This is Agenda 21′s plan for sustainable
development, for saving and reversing damage
done to our environment, for preserving the world for future generations.
This is why our government is pushing GMOs, why elected
officials have appionted former Monsanto-employees to
prominent places in the FDA and ect.
This is why it seems the powers that be are hell-bent on advancing GMO
biotechnology. It’s all part of Agenda 21.
Agenda 21 is real, it is in effect, and it will not be
voluntary forever.
Most people who are aware of Agenda 21 dismiss it as
being voluntary and see no harm in it. What most people fail to realize is that
Agenda 21 was written with full intentions of eventually being turned into a
binding, legal document. From the Draft International Covenant on
Environment and Development, page xix:
“The progression of legal principles from recommendatory “soft” to legally clear “hard” is well known in international law. For example, the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a “soft-law” instrument was the precursor to the two 1966 UN Covenants on Human Rights. Those treaties elaborated in legally-binding form the principles enunciated in “soft -law” form in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. For this reason, the proposed text on environment and development should be called a “Covenant”, as well as to signal the special importance of such a treaty. Also, the UN Secretary-General in 1990 proposed the same sequence (see above).
Accordingly, with the Stockholm Declaration, the World Charter for Nature, and later the Rio Declaration behind them, the consensus within the IUCN Commission on Environmental Law was that a general framework treaty on the environment was the next step. Once the World Charter for Nature was adopted and solemnly proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 1982, the CEL Working Group which had draft that instrument in 1975 perceived the necessity of exploring whether the World Charter for Nature should be followed by a “hard law” instrument.
This idea was also taken up by the World Commission on Environment and Development (“Bruntland Commission”), which was established in 1983 along with an associated Experts Group on Environmental Law. The Experts Group recommended that the United Nations prepare a new and legally binding universal Convention on environmental protection and sustainable development.
The World Commission itself in 1986
recommended the preparation of a Universal Declaration and a Convention on
environmental protection and sustainable development. Then, in 1988, expressly taking into account the many
“soft-law” instruments already existing, the IUCN General Assembly in San
Jose, Costa Rica, expressed its formal support for CEL to continue what
it had by then already begun, in preparing elements for an international
convention on environmental protection and sustainable development.“ [emphasis
mine]
I’ll
tell you one thing. I am all for sustainable agriculture, but Agenda 21 and I
have very different ideas of what defines “sustainable agriculture.” We need to
fight Agenda 21 right now, while we still can!
What Can We Do?
1.
Share this Information With Everyone You Know!
Share this post if you want to. I’ve made it easy to
understand by explaining everything as clearly as I can,
and using sources to back up what I’m saying, including links to the actual
documents.
I’m sure there are others who have connected the dots
between Monsanto and Agenda 21, but they are probably few and far between. Our
greatest weapon right now is to spread information. People need to know what is
going on. We still live in a free country and we cannot take for granted our
ability to fight for a safe, free, and healthy life for our children. I thought
we were going up against huge odds before when it was just Monsanto, but now I
know that the odds are astronomical.
PLEASE
HELP ME SPREAD THE WORD!
2.
Fight Agenda 21 at the Local Level!
I said it above and I’ll say it again: We still live in a
free country. We have a choice as to whether or not Agenda 21 is adopted into
our communities. Now, while it is still soft law and voluntary, we need to
fight it! Pay attention to what is going on in your local elections, find out
whether your community has adopted Agenda 21,
and what their plan for implementation is.
3.
Continue to Spread the Word About True Sustainable Living.
On the one hand, destruction of our environment and waste
of our resources absolutely cannot continue. Taking away human freedom to force
environmental sustainability is also not the answer. Especially
because Monsanto is not sustainable
agriculture.
What we need is people to
choose, on their own, to live in environmentally responsible ways. We need to
fight to keep our small farmers in business. True, old-fashioned sustainable
farming will save our environment. Local farmers need our support now more than
ever before, because they are going up against Monsanto and Agenda 21! We can
support them with our money and votes. Let’s keep our small farmers in
business. Together, we can do this but
we need all of us! Help me spread the word!
