 In our case, The Matrix is the world we are being
told we live in, a world we are told we are making sustainable, a dreamy
illusion, while in reality, we are living in a world that is being designed
to rob us of all our personal freedoms and liberties and will commit our
children to a life unlike anything we can imagine.
How
will they (the powers who rule the world) do this?
The
number 1 goal of Agenda 21 Sustainable Development is “human control” (“in
every area in which human impacts on
the environment”) because that is
the only way they can achieve control of the oceans and the land and all of
their resources.
And
as you are very aware we people are now considered “human resources”. I give
you as an example the HR Department or Human Resources Department. You are no
longer a person (individual) represented by a personnel department.

Agenda
21
UNCED,
1992
“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.
Agenda
21, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the Statement
of principles for the Sustainable Management of Forests were adopted by
more than 178 Governments at the United Nations Conference on Environment
and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janerio, Brazil, 3 to 14 June 1992.
The Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) was created in December
1992 to ensure effective follow-up of UNCED, to monitor and report on
implementation of the agreements at the local, national, regional and
international levels. It was agreed that a five year review of Earth Summit
progress would be made in 1997 by the United Nations General Assembly
meeting in special session.”
"Each local authority should enter
into a dialogue with its citizens, local organizations, and private
enterprises and adopt 'a local Agenda 21.' Through consultation and consensus-building,
local authorities would learn from citizens and from local, civic,
community, business and industrial organizations and acquire the
information needed for formulating the best strategies."

EXPRESSING SENSE OF CONGRESS THAT U.S. SHOULD
DEVELOP NATIONAL STRATEGY IMPLEMENTING EARTH SUMMIT AGREEMENTS (House of
Representatives - October 02, 1992)

The Clerk read as follows:
H. Con.
Res. 353
Whereas the United Nations Conference on Environment
and Development (hereinafter in this preamble referred to as `UNCED'),
known as the Earth Summit, assembled in June of 1992 in Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil, the largest summit of heads of state in history and outlined a
comprehensive action plan for environmentally sustainable development,
known as Agenda 21 ;
Whereas the United States has a strong national
interest in the environmental sustainability of global economic development,
and many pressing environmental and economic problems are inherently
transboundary and not susceptible to resolution by the actions of any
single nation acting alone;
Whereas Agenda 21 , a plan of national and
international actions to integrate environment and development,
negotiated and adopted by the United States and 177 other countries,
offers a significant starting point for continuing progress in avoiding
environmental degradation and social and economic disintegration in the
21st century;
Whereas the role of the United States, as a major
economic force and a country that has long been in the forefront of
environmental protection activities nationally and internationally,
should be one of leadership and positive action in the implementation
process of Agenda 21 and all decisions of UNCED;
Whereas Agenda 21 urges all governments to adopt
national strategies for sustainable development;
Whereas Agenda 21 urges all countries to `make
significant progress' in incorporating environmental costs into economic
decisions, to undertake research or sustainable production methods and
consumption patterns, and to undertake other actions to make their
economies more environmentally sustainable;
Whereas Agenda 21 calls for a `supportive international
climate for achieving environment and development goals,' by `providing
adequate financial resources to developing countries and dealing with
international debt,' and calls for `the reallocation of resources
presently committed to military purposes' to support United States
policies and the efforts of developing countries to implement Agenda 21
;
Whereas UNCED recommended that high-level United
Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (hereinafter in this
preamble referred to as the `Commission') be established by the 47th
United Nations General Assembly to provide a vital forum in which the
member states of the United Nations may review progress made by
considering reports from national governments, international
organizations, and nongovernmental organizations;
Whereas the United States was an active and positive
participant in UNCED negotiations regarding the Commission, and will play
a major role in the decisions of the 47th United Nations General Assembly
regarding the specific modalities and effectiveness of the Commission;
Whereas the agreements adopted at UNCED are milestones
toward the achievement of environmentally sustainable economic
development and for holding governments accountable for progress toward
integrating environment and development;
Whereas many opportunities for agreements concerning
more extensive actions on critical issues remained unresolved at UNCED
and will require further attention by the nations of the world; and
Whereas the ultimate success of achieving sustainable
development and a healthy environment at the national and international
levels depends upon actions taken at the State and local community
levels, and on actions by schools, public offices, businesses, and
citizens: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the
Congress that--
(1) effective follow-up to achieve the many goals of
the agreements reached at the United Nations Conference on Environment and
Development (hereinafter in this resolution referred to as `UNCED') will
depend on the following actions by the President and the United States
Government:
(a) The United States should adopt a national strategy
for environmentally sustainable development, based on an extensive
process of nationwide consultations with all interested organizations and
individuals, including State and
local governments, nongovernmental organization, businesses, and labor
groups.
(B) The United States Government should
encourage and facilitate, at all levels of community and sectors of
society, appropriate means for adopting individual Agenda 21
plans of action, including the establishment of local, county, State,
business, and other boards and commissions for achieving sustainable
development. Each member of the Congress should help initiate this
process within their States or districts.
(C) The President should
establish an effective mechanism to plan, initiate, and coordinate United
States policy for implementing Agenda
21. Responsibility should be
vested in a duly constituted office, headed by an appropriate high level
official, and the necessary staff support structure should be provided.
(D) Policies should be formulated for foreign policy
and foreign assistance in order to help developing countries, and for
domestic actions in order to assure appropriate action by the United
States to implement Agenda 21 ;
(2) in order to contribute to a transition to a
sustainable United States economy, the research and policy initiatives
urged in Agenda 21 should be pursued, including research
on sustainable consumption and production patterns, creation of a policy
framework for sustainable consumption patterns, identification of a
strategy to eliminate or reduce subsidies for unsustainable natural
resource exploitation, and to improve pricing policies;
(3) the Congress should adopt a plan to reallocate an
appropriate amount of savings from reduced defense spending in order to
achieve its goals of global environmental protection and sustainable
development over the next decade;
(4) the President should urge and actively participate
in new and existing multilateral efforts aimed at creating a more
favorable international economic climate for developing countries to
practice sustainable development, and such efforts should include
international consultations regarding reduction in developing country
debt linked with environmental policy reforms, and increased loans and
concessional assistance upon development and implementation of national
sustainable development strategies in developing countries;
(5) the United States should actively support, at the
47th United Nations General Assembly, the effective establishment of a
high-level United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development
(hereinafter in this resolution referred to as the `Commission'),
including the establishment of provisions for meaningful participation by
organizations of the United Nations system, international financial
institutions, and other relevant intergovernmental organizations and
nongovernmental organizations recommended by UNCED;
(6) the President should affirm strong United States
commitment to the Commission by appointing a high-level representative
from the United States to the Commission, and by encouraging the United
Nations Secretary General to appoint an Under Secretary General for
Sustainable Development to coordinate the implementation of Agenda 21
in the United Nations system and to head the secretariat support
structure for the Commission;
(7) the President should submit a national report for
the Commission on activities the United States has undertaken to
implement Agenda 21 , both domestically and
internationally, on progress made toward fulfilling other commitments
undertaken at UNCED, and on other environmental and developmental issues
that the United States finds relevant, and should strongly encourage all
United Nations members to submit national reports;
(8) the United States should encourage the
Commission to call for periodic international meetings to continue
the process toward developing and advancing international agreement to
facilitate sustainable economic development for the protection of the
global environment and the promotion of human dignity of current and
future generations; and
(9) the President should submit an annual report to
the Congress on the steps taken by the United States to implement Agenda 21
and the recommendations made by this resolution, and should make
information regarding such steps available to members of the Congress
upon their request.

INSTITUTIONAL ASPECTS OF
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Decision-Making: Coordinating Bodies
Created by a 1993 Executive Order, the President's
Council on Sustainable Development (PCSD)
is explicitly charged with recommending a national action plan for
sustainable development to the President. The PCSD
is composed of leaders from government and industry, as well as from
environmental, labor and civil rights organizations. The PCSD submitted its report, "Sustainable
America: A New Consensus", to the President in early 1996.
In the absence of a multi-sectoral consensus
on how to achieve sustainable development in the United States, the PCSD was conceived to formulate recommendations for
the implementation of Agenda 21.

·
The March 1996 PCSD (President’s Council for Sustainable Development)
report, "Sustainable America--A New Consensus for Prosperity, Opportunity,
and a Healthy Environment for the Future," includes recommendations
for USDA to enhance its role, individually and in partnership with
others, in sustaining the productivity and quality of agricultural and
natural resource goods and services, the natural resource base and
ecological systems, and the economic and social vitality of rural
communities.
·
The philosophy, concepts and principles of
sustainable development, involving the balancing of environmental
quality, economic development, and the vitality of rural communities,
shall be incorporated, as appropriate, into all appropriate Department
regulations, policies, and programs, including strategic planning
documents, work plans, and performance appraisals. Each agency head shall
implement the programs for which the agency head is responsible in ways
that are consistent with this policy on sustainable development.

Every
Department in the Federal Government received the “recommendations” to enhance its role with others.
“The philosophy, concepts and principles
of sustainable development, involving the balancing of environmental quality, economic
development, and the vitality of
rural communities, shall be incorporated, as appropriate, into all
appropriate Department regulations, policies, and programs, including
strategic planning documents, work plans, and performance appraisals. Each
agency head shall implement the programs for which the agency head is
responsible in ways that are consistent with this policy on sustainable
development.”
|
By
1996 we were well on our path to using Agenda 21 Sustainable Development as a
blueprint for all decision making being done by the Executive, Legislative
and Judicial Branches of our Government.
Agenda
21 Sustainable Development was not just being implemented here in the U.S.A.
it was Worldwide and many countries are further into using its blueprint for
“sustainability”.
Just
so you don’t believe Agenda 21 is a partisan issue, don’t forget who swore
our allegiance to the United Nations, (1992 – President George H. W. Bush addressing the General Assembly of the U.N. said: "It is the sacred principles
enshrined in the United Nations charter to which the American people will
henceforth pledge their allegiance.") and
who also agreed to the tenets of Agenda 21 and it continued under the younger
Bush President.
|
President George W. Bush agrees
with Agenda 21 too, as his Under Secretary of State for Global Affairs,
Paula Dobriansky, told a Brookings-Council on
Foreign Relations on Thursday, May 23, 2002 - 12:00 p.m.-1:15 p.m. at The
Washington Club, quote:
|
“But if Johannesburg is to truly
implement the international community's new consensus, demonstrated in
Monterrey, to effectively mobilize resources for sustainable
development, it should produce compelling results, not merely high
sounding rhetoric. We already have agreed
upon Agenda 21 and the Millennium Declaration goals. The world
community does not need to negotiate new goals or create new global
bureaucracies.
We in the United
States government are working with our friends and allies to promote sustainable
development. Yet, no government individually or collectively, developed
or developing, can be successful without active partnership with the
private sector, with non-profit organizations and other participants.
We re-dedicate ourselves to turn our vision
into reality and we support immediate concrete action to this end. The
test of any man lies not in espousing words but in fulfilling deeds. And
the true test of the World Summit on Sustainable Development will not lie
in the rhetoric that is negotiated, but in actions taken to improve
conditions worldwide. The new vision
President Bush emphasized before Monterrey unleashes the potential of
those who are poor, instead of locking them into a cycle of dependence.”
End quote

“We already have agreed upon Agenda 21 and the Millennium Declaration
goals”; “…we must continue down the
path laid out in Monterrey… no government individually or collectively, developed or
developing, can be successful without active partnership with the private
sector, with non-profit organizations and other participants.

AGENDA
21 - Chapter 30
STRENGTHENING
THE ROLE OF BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
B.
Promoting responsible entrepreneurship
Basis
for action
30.17.
Entrepreneurship is one of the most important driving forces for
innovations, increasing market efficiencies and responding to challenges
and opportunities. Small and medium-sized entrepreneurs, in particular,
play a very important role in the social and economic development of a
country. Often, they are the major means for rural development, increasing
off-farm employment and providing the transitional means for improving the
livelihoods of women. Responsible entrepreneurship can play a major role in
improving the efficiency of resource use, reducing risks and hazards,
minimizing wastes and safeguarding environmental qualities.
Objectives
30.18.
The following objectives are proposed:
(a) To encourage the concept of stewardship in the
management and utilization of natural resources by entrepreneurs;
(b)
To increase the number of entrepreneurs engaged in enterprises that
subscribe to and implement sustainable development policies.
Activities
30.19.
Governments should encourage the establishment and operations of
sustainably managed enterprises. The mix would include regulatory measures,
economic incentives and streamlining of administrative procedures to assure
maximum efficiency in dealing with applications for approval in order to
facilitate investment decisions, advice and assistance with information,
infrastructural support and stewardship responsibilities.
30.20.
Governments should encourage, in cooperation with the private sector, the
establishment of venture capital funds for sustainable development projects
and programmes.
30.21.
In collaboration with business, industry, academia and international
organizations, Governments should support training in the environmental
aspects of enterprise management. Attention should also be directed towards
apprenticeship schemes for youth.
30.22.
Business and industry, including transnational corporations, should be
encouraged to establish world-wide corporate policies on sustainable
development, arrange for environmentally sound technologies to be available
to affiliates owned substantially by their parent company in developing
countries without extra external charges, encourage overseas affiliates to
modify procedures in order to reflect local ecological conditions and share
experiences with local authorities, national Governments and international
organizations.
30.23.
Large business and industry, including transnational corporations, should
consider establishing partnership schemes with small and medium-sized
enterprises to help facilitate the exchange of experience in managerial
skills, market development and technological know-how, where appropriate,
with the assistance of international organizations.
30.24.
Business and industry should establish national councils for sustainable
development and help promote entrepreneurship in the formal and informal
sectors. The inclusion of women entrepreneurs should be facilitated.
30.25.
Business and industry, including transnational corporations, should
increase research and development of environmentally sound technologies and
environmental management systems, in collaboration with academia and the
scientific/engineering establishments, drawing upon indigenous knowledge,
where appropriate.
30.26.
Business and industry, including transnational corporations, should ensure responsible
and ethical management of products and processes from the point of view of
health, safety and environmental aspects. Towards this end, business and
industry should increase self-regulation, guided by appropriate codes,
charters and initiatives integrated into all elements of business planning
and decision-making, and fostering openness and dialogue with employees and
the public.
30.27.
Multilateral and bilateral financial aid institutions should continue to
encourage and support small- and medium-scale entrepreneurs engaged in
sustainable development activities.
30.28.
United Nations organizations and agencies should improve mechanisms for
business and industry inputs, policy and strategy formulation processes, to
ensure that environmental aspects are strengthened in foreign investment.
30.29.
International organizations should increase support for research and
development on improving the technological and managerial requirements for
sustainable development, in particular for small and medium-sized
enterprises in developing countries.
Means
of implementation
Financing
and cost evaluation
30.30.
The activities included under this programme area
are mostly changes in the orientation of existing activities and additional
costs are not expected to be significant. The cost of activities by
Governments and international organizations are already included in other programme areas.

RECOMMENDATION #18:
Organizational structure: Who’s on first?
APPROXIMATE COST:
Staff time
FUNDING SOURCE:
N/A
RESPONSIBILITY:
County staff
TIMELINE:
Fall 2002/Winter 2003
DESCRIPTION:
The economic development organizational
structure in Lake County can be confusing to the
outsider. It is a loose-knit coalition of individuals and organizations
overseeing projects and providing services to businesses. As part of
unifying the Vision and
agreeing upon an integrated plan for all of Lake County, the economic development duties and responsibilities of government,
organizations and boards should be clearer. There appears to be six main
entities that may be involved in the funding and oversight of this
strategy – County of Lake Economic Development Committee, Cities of
Lakeport and Clearlake, Tourism Contractor, Economic Development Contractors (CDS
& BORT). There are numerous other agencies that would be involved in
the implementation. There are three keys to efficient and effective
delivery of services and a successful plan from a coalition of service
providers, focus, commitment, and collaboration. Each entity participating in this plan
for a sustainable and healthy future for Lake County should agree to these success
factors:
• Maintain a focus to ensure the plan is carried out,
• Be committed to the vision and implementation
strategy, and
• Collaborate with
partners to achieve common goals.
ACTION:
Existing groups should not be abandoned. Each of the
cities have their own economic development
committees with which they need to work and become a part of this overall
vision. Existing committee and organizational structure should be
kept in place and enhanced with visionary leaders. Contractors
implementing these plans should keep their programs focused on the goals
and objectives. A recommended
organizational structure is included in the Supporting Documentation
section of this plan.
Support agencies:
• R&R Assoc.
• Chambers of Commerce
• Bus. Merchant Associations
• Main Street
• Tribal groups
• Art Councils
• Wine Commission
• Audubon Society
• BLM Forestry
• State Parks & Recreation
• Visitor Information Center
1. Expand the team to include city managers of
Lakeport and Clearlake
2. Meet monthly to ensure work program milestones are
being met and to provide updates on the recruitment process, and new
tools being developed.
3. Meet quarterly with Support Agencies to review
milestones and collaborative work activities.
4. Contractor meets quarterly with Economic Development team.
5. Contractor would continually work, hand in hand,
with the Visitor Information Center with regards to publicity, tracking,
distribution of marketing materials.
RECOMMENDATION #19:
Create a “Spirit of Entrepreneurs” Program
RESPONSIBILITY:
Recommend contracting with the County ED contractor
who currently provides financial technical assistance to oversee
designing a program. The ED contractor should work with a Business Coach
such as Catalyst Group2 to design the program. Attend a Sirolli workshop to learn the foundations of the Enterprise Facilitation concept. Once the
design is finalized, coordinate and pilot test with the City of
Lakeport’s business retention program which will be implemented late
summer-early fall 2002. Create the program to derive as much publicity,
awareness and success so the County becomes known for the unique spirit
and service. Sirolli Institute Information is contained in the Examples 2Catalyst Group,

Enterprise
Facilitation® is
a program that transforms individual passion and citizenship into
rewarding and sustainable local
enterprises. The Sirolli Institute International is a
501C3 training organization dedicated to teaching civic leaders how to
establish and maintain Enterprise Facilitation projects. The program is currently
underway in Lake County, and in the City of Riverbank in
California. Since 1985, thousands of new and expanding businesses
resulting in thousands of new jobs have been started with the help of Enterprise Facilitators in dozens of
communities in Australia, New Zealand, the
USA, Canada and the United Kingdom. Enterprise Facilitation
has helped demonstrate that the provision of caring, competent, dedicated
advice and support to entrepreneurs is as important as the development of
physical infrastructures to the development of a stable and successful
economy.

LEARNING POINTS TO THE
PATHWAYS TO SUSTAINABILITY CONFERENCE HELD IN NEWCASTLE 1-5 JUNE 1997 RR 5606 http://archived.ccc.govt.nz/council/proceedings/1997/july/strategyresources.asp
INTRODUCTION
The
conference was designed to build on the June 1992 United Nations
Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) and the 1996 United
Nations Habitat II Conference held in Istanbul. The
focus was on moving the pattern of human settlements to a more
sustainable future, and the emphasis was clearly placed on the role of
local government in this and achieving the objectives of Agenda 21. Agenda 21 is the agenda for the 21st century drawn
up at the UNCED Conference.
[Item] 10. Avoiding the
Growth versus Environment Conflict
In a
highly entertaining and very enjoyable presentation Ernesto Sirolli who is Enterprise
Facilitator of the Sirolli Institute in Bozeman USA, drew on
his current work, his earlier work experience in Australia
and his Italian culture to make a strong case for the importance
of fostering and developing entrepreneurship
in moving towards sustainability. His
central thesis was the simple and obvious one that sustainability
requires the development of eco industries and who is going to develop
these industries except well motivated entrepreneurs, and they need to be
cultured. He was very strong on the role of small business
|
So Ernesto Sirolli
and the Sirolli Institute travel
around the world installing Chapter 30 of Agenda 21 regarding the economy
and entrepreneurship. “Australia, New
Zealand, the USA, Canada and the United Kingdom.”
Remember Konocti Facilitation? Agenda 21!
Under Leadership of MMA (Middletown Merchant’s Association)
members trained by Sirolli, MMA changes its bylaws and becomes MABA
(Middletown Area Business Alliance) no longer just serving Middletown and I
believe now is under the umbrella of the Lake County Chamber whose parent
is an NGO (non-governmental organization) supporting Agenda 21.

The
best I could find was it took Agenda 21 Sustainable Development about 10
years to raise its ugly head in Lake County, CA.
The
reason for the creation of MATH (Middletown Area Town Hall), a sanctioned
advisory board designated by the Lake County Board of Supervisors, was VOM (Voice of Middletown). VOM
would have formed a 501c3 filled with like minded people without the over
site of any elected body or rules governing elected bodies and would have the
ear of all agencies regarding issues facing Middletown.

This letter to the editor was authored by John Peschon and David Neft, co-founders
of the recently created Voice of Middletown (VOM)
and endorsed by most of the founding members and many non-member residents.
The objective of the VOM is to facilitate the
interaction of the residents of Middletown with county and state governments
in the areas of community planning, management, and stewardship. It is
modeled after the successful Forestville Planning Association of Sonoma
County.

Editor,
Many
of us moved with our families from the Bay Area to
Middletown in the 1970s to enjoy the
scenery, the oak trees, vineyards, mountains, and the
small town congeniality. We noticed the aesthetic
shortcomings, such as junk piles here and there, but assumed
that these kinds of problems would be eventually corrected
once Middletown had been discovered
by people who wanted to escape the hustle and
bustle of the Bay Area and the Central Valley to
begin their golden years or raise a family. This
hypothesis turned out to be incorrect, although
major improvements have taken place. The
streets
themselves are clean, and the county gave us the wonderful
104-acre park off Dry Creek Road.
Our
members frequently have visitors from various Bay Area communities. Their
reactions are often "What a shame," and "You are
shooting yourselves in the foot economically and
employment-wise
because
quality employers, entrepreneurs and innovators are not likely
to give you a chance until these unacceptable
violations (like this junkyard on Main Street)
have been eliminated."
There
are those who oppose code enforcement (as well as other
judicial actions) because of their perceived negative
impact upon our personal freedoms. Our
answer is: not so. The gross violators generate
a negative impact on the neighborhood
and the community including the local economy, the
changing demography, and the pride and
satisfaction of those who were born in Middletown and stayed as
well as those who moved here more recently.
The
Press Democrat of Feb. 18 had an article about the "Dutton
Plaza Transformation," and this first of its kind
lawsuit by the city of Santa Rosa to force
property owners to clean up a run-down commercial
complex. The case was settled out of court by the owner. It
may be that a similar judicial approach
is needed to express the opinion of the vast majority
of our community.

The
worst thing about “Agenda 21” is they are implementing it in an un-American
way because it is anti- American. They
(the powers who rule the world) know if
we the people were asked to vote on it and ratify it by each state, it would
never pass.
· They are
all guilty. This is not about being a
Democrat or a Republican it’s about being an American. Every elected official who is sneaking this
past the citizens of this country is not worthy of calling themselves an
American.
· There is
no middle road here. You either
support implementing Agenda 21 or you oppose implementing Agenda 21. Which flag is your flag?
AGENDA 21
FREEDOM 21
 
|
Agenda
21 moves forward leaving Americans in shock and a Congress screaming this
would not stand as “property rights” are the basis of our freedom.
|
"WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court on Thursday
[June 23, 2005] ruled that local governments may seize people's homes and
businesses - even against their will - for private economic development.
At issue was the scope of the Fifth Amendment, which allows governments
to take private property through eminent domain if the land is for
"public use."
The 5-4 ruling represented a defeat for some Connecticut residents whose
homes are slated for destruction to make room for an office complex. They
argued that cities have no right to take their land except for projects
with a clear public use, such as roads or schools, or to revitalize
blighted areas.
|
Of course nothing happened. Congress
did nothing to protect private property rights as private property rights
cannot stand under Agenda 21 Sustainable Development.
