UN abolishing slavery?

By Darren Weeks

I just learned from the United Nations' web site that December 2nd was the "International Day for Abolition of Slavery".

Sorry. I guess I didn't notice.

I was too busy trying to stop the slavery that the United Nations themselves is trying to impose upon us.

"Sustainable Development" is the UN term for population control. It is all-encompassing and it's global. When it's fully implemented, everything you do will be regulated, and no one will be able to do anything until the environmental consequences of such an action is considered.

In fact,Chapter 8 of Agenda 21 addresses "Integrating environment and development in decision-making". It says,

"The primary need is to integrate environmental and developmental decision-making processes. To do this, Governments should conduct a national review and, where appropriate, improve the processes of decision-making so as to achieve the progressive integration of economic, social and environmental issues in the pursuit of development that is economically efficient, socially equitable and responsible and environmentally sound."

If the globalists have their way, no developmental decision will be made, without considering the environmental consequences. It is for this reason we have the redevelopment of our cities underway.

Part of the implementation of "Sustainable Development" is "Smart Growth". The idea behind "Smart Growth" is that we humans are spreading out into the rural areas too much and we need to stop it. They call it "urban sprawl".

The pointy-head academics at many of America's universities, coupled with the socialists at the United Nations contend that there are a lot of "endangered" plants in the countryside. How on earth they ever make such a determination is beyond this writer's ability to discern. Just because they can't find a plant, does this mean it's endangered? And why should we be concerned about "endangered" plants? Would we even miss these plants if they disappeared?

But that's just the beginning.

In addition to the plants, they also say there are a lot of little furry creatures and bugs in rural areas. This is a very disturbing discovery! If furry creatures and bugs exist in rural areas, we humans might disturb those too. In fact, these "brilliant" scholars say that we are already endangering them.

Can it be true that if we make too much noise in the countryside, the furry little creatures might not be able to consumate their relationships? That's what we're told. Certainly we humans wouldn't want to interfere with the sex life of the Alabama Beach Mouse! No, sir.

Therefore, we cannot live in the rural areas anymore. There goes your house in the country.

According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, there are 1,272 threatened or endangered plants and animals in the United States. That number jumps to 1,868 worldwide. God help you if one of these are found on your property!

So cities must begin building up, rather than out. Human development must be moved up to the next level. Thoughts of The Jeffersons theme song come to mind. We're moving on up!

Your neighbors will live on top of you — literally. Work places will be built within walking distances of where you live. This is because they want you to quit driving your automobile.

The automobile. That's evil too!

According to the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, every time you climb behind the wheel of that gas-guzzling SUV, you cause global warming. There is no end to the damage that global warming causes on those little fuzzy plants and animals in the countryside. Things that are supposed to be hot, turn cold. Things that are supposed to be cold, turn hot. Never mind that none of this has ever been proven: Full speed ahead!

So, the well-being of the Big Eared Bat or the Columbian White-tailed Deer are to be put ahead of that of human beings. The animals have had their day in court, and have won!

One approach to Smart Growth is New Urbanism. The New Urbanist movement is certainly nothing new. In fact, most of the UN population control measures are just rehashed ideas from the past. They simply change the names and attempt to implement the failed policies of yesteryear.

Today, however, they are changing the landscape of America.

According to to town planners Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, there are 13 principles which are defining elements of New Urbanism. If you see these in your community, it's a part of the implementation of "Sustainable Development":

1. The neighborhood has a discernible center. This is often a square or a green and sometimes a busy or memorable street corner. A transit stop would be located at this center.
   
   
2. Most of the dwellings are within a five-minute walk of the center, an average of roughly 2,000 feet.
   
   
3. There are a variety of dwelling types—usually houses, rowhouses and apartments—so that younger and older people, singles and families, the poor and the wealthy may find places to live.
   
   
4. At the edge of the neighborhood, there are shops and offices of sufficiently varied types to supply the weekly needs of a household.
   
   
5. A small ancillary building or garage apartment is permitted within the backyard of each house. It may be used as a rental unit or place to work (for example, office or craft workshop).
   
   
6. An elementary school is close enough so that most children can walk from their home.
   
   
7. There are small playgrounds accessible to every dwelling—not more than a tenth of a mile away.
   
   
8. Streets within the neighborhood form a connected network, which disperses traffic by providing a variety of pedestrian and vehicular routes to any destination.
   
   
9. The streets are relatively narrow and shaded by rows of trees. This slows traffic, creating an environment suitable for pedestrians and bicycles.
   
   
10. Buildings in the neighborhood center are placed close to the street, creating a well-defined outdoor room.
    
    
11. Parking lots and garage doors rarely front the street. Parking is relegated to the rear of buildings, usually accessed by alleys.
    
    
12. Certain prominent sites at the termination of street vistas or in the neighborhood center are reserved for civic buildings. These provide sites for community meetings, education, and religious or cultural activities.
    
    
13. The neighborhood is organized to be self-governing. A formal association debates and decides matters of maintenance, security, and physical change. Taxation is the responsibility of the larger community.

"Sustainable Development" is the curtailment of all human liberty. In other words, it's slavery. It is the United Nations' effort at controlling all life on planet earth.

Ignorance of the agenda, as well as characterizing those of us exposing it as "conspiracy nuts" won't stop the plan. Only educating yourself and others and getting active where you live will.
