WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT?

From Unfiltered News December 21, 2011 By

What is Sustainable Development?
“Sustainable Development” is the UN Agenda 21 “Plan For The 21st Century”
It is the UN plan to manage and control ALL human activity under Marxist/socialist principles.
Re-distribution of wealth is a built in feature of it.
In practicality, it is a direct economic attack on the United States.
In fact, Maurice Strong was the Chair of the 1992 U.N. Earth Summit in Rio where Agenda 21 was introduced. He made the intent clear when he was quoted saying that it was their responsibility to bring about the collapse of the industrialized countries.
It has been incorporated into federal policy with a series of Executive Orders starting with #12982 in 1994 and continuing this year with more creating the Rural and Ocean Council’s.
It is the primary reason that we can’t meet our energy needs with production from our vast natural resources whether it be petroleum, coal or timber.
It is the reason that the vital Keystone Pipeline project is being opposed.
It is the reason we export almost a trillion dollars annually buying imported oil when we have proven reserves totaling more than all the mid-east countries combined.
It is the reason American’s are exhorted to cut back energy use to 1990′s levels further crippling the economy while China and other countries are exempt. All based on a fraudulent premise put forth by the U.N. IPCC.
It is the reason that over 600 local governments in the U.S. are dues paying members of ICLEI which directs the local implementation of Agenda 21 and other U.N. policies that Congress never approved. (see: ICLEI.org)
It is the reason that the Secretary of Transportation announced that promoting motorized transportation is no longer their priority.
It is the reason that our seafood production is severely restricted with only limited access allowed to abundant marine resources.
It is the reason that some of the most productive areas of the oceans around the coast are being closed off in “Marine Protected Areas”
It is the reason that NOAA Director, Dr. Jane Lubchenco has made implementing the Agenda 21, Catch Share allocation system in every American fishery a top priority. In New England and Florida the results are American fishermen out of work and the Governor of Massachusetts declaring an economic disaster with a request for $21 million in federal aid.
Dr. Lubchenco’s response was asking for $54 million in additional funds to expand the program.
It is a primary reason that we import 84% of our seafood and export (re-distribute) nearly $11 billion to foreign countries like China and Vietnam in a seafood trade deficit.
It is the reason that our manufacturing base has been moved to foreign countries starting with NAFTA which had the goal of “promoting Sustainable Development”.
It is the reason that the Federal, State and local governments have been buying land in an effort to create the “system of protected areas” called for in the un-ratified U.N. Agenda 21 treaty.
It is the reason the U.S. Senate refused to even vote on the treaty when maps of The Wildlands Project were displayed on the floor of the Senate. The stated goal is “50% of the land in Core Wilderness areas with little or no human use” interconnected with Wildlife Corridors surrounded with Buffer Zones.
It is the reason that Volusia County, Florida now owns approximately 40% of the land in the County creating a “Conservation Corridor”.
When you put it all together it is a primary reason for the collapse of the American economy just as U.N. official, Maurice Strong wanted in 1993 when it all started.
Now, what are we going to do about it?   ~Lordhawke

National Defense Authorization Act

Conaway Chronicle Volume 6, Issue 10


National Defense Authorization Act

In Congress this week the National Defense Authorization Act passed the House and Senate, whereupon it was sent to the President for his signature. This bill is important because it provides pay and benefits for our troops, buys the weapons and equipment they need to do their job, and funds research to help meet future threats to our national security.

While this bill is central to a functioning national security, there was a misunderstanding regarding the detainee provisions. This provision does not address or extend new authority to detain U.S. Citizens. What it does do is affirm that the military may lawfully detain individuals who are engaged in armed conflict with the United States, as stated by the Authorization of the Use of Military Force. The bill adds explicit protections for American citizens as well as a prohibition against the President waving such protections.

This bill strengthens our ability to fight the War on Terror and enables a continued, steadfast national security plan.

Read the Bill*
*Detainee provision exempting U.S. citizens: page 655 & 657


Mike Conaway voted for the bill.  So did John Cornyn and Kay Bailey Hutchison.  I've dug into the background on the bill but there's too much legaleze for me.  When I read the page indicated by Mike Conaway above, it seems rather straightforward that this will not pertain to American citizens or legal  residents and that the President would also be resticted from  using the waiver option against American citizens or legal residents.

But since when was anything straightforward coming out of D.C.?  So I got to looking at who was objecting and what they were objecting to. 

  • Montana has initiated a recall of their representatives who voted for the bill. " Montana residents William Crain and Stewart Rhodes are spearheading the drive. Mr. Crain is an artist. Mr. Rhodes is an attorney, Yale Law School graduate, and the national president of the organization Oath Keepers, who are military and law enforcement officers, both former and active duty, who vow to uphold their Oath to the US Constitution and to disobey illegal orders which constitute attacks on their fellow citizens."   Source here.  Oathkeepers,  of course,  has been listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).  Now,  the SPLC is a hate group unto itself; however,  DHS is using them  as a resource and published the directives sent out to all law enforcement indicating returning veterans,  people believing in the Constitution or pro-life,  people having Ron Paul bumper stickers,  people wanting our borders secure,  people with beliefs againt homosexuality, etc.,  might be terrorists based on the info given them  by SPLC.
  • Here's a video of a Judge Napolitano report on it.
  • And,  here's what Ron Paul has to say on it.  No matter what you think about Ron Paul,  you can't argue with his 100% adherance to voting Constitutionally in all his years as a Congressman. 
  • Personally,  I don't know what to think about this bill.  Viscerally,  I don't like it.

Bernie and Bernanke

Senator Bernie Sanders


I've been watching Bernie Sanders for several years.  He's a self-admitted Socialist.  Being a Socialist, however, has not prevented Bernie from seeing what is actually going on and trying to fight it.  A while back I posted an article from his site that showed the Federal Reserve had secretly sent another SIXTEEN TRILLION dollars to foreign banks.  I didn't see that on any other legislator's site.  They know and they're keeping their mouths shut.  Now Bernie's figuring out that the NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT, SPP trade agreements have deliberately destroyed our economy.  I could have told him that if he'd read the CFR report, "Building a North American Community," he'd have known this several years ago.  For all I know, Bernie voted for NAFTA, CAFTA, and GATT.  The SPP has not yet been approved by our Congress but is fully functional with its 30 committees working their destruction of our country and our form of government every day...illegally.

At any rate, it's interesting to watch the Left become as cognizant of what's been going on as evidenced by not only Bernie, but the protests to shut Wall Street down.  The TEA Party has been aware and it got them into the streets.  Of course, our corrupted media has tried to discredit the Wall Street protests by focusing on some of the outrageous demands of the protestors while shutting down on the actual reasons they're protesting both Wall Street and the Federal Reserve.  They attempted to discredit the TEA Partiers.  They're still trying.  But one of these days, the Wall Street Protesters and the TEA Partiers are going to be in the street yelling at each other and they're each going to take a breath and realize they're combatting the same things...just from different angles. 

Here's Bernie on the unfair free trade agreements.

Oh, Yeah...They Can Steal Your Property and They're Doing It

EPA Regulations Will Cost 1.44 Million Jobs!


Last week, I wrote about how the EPA was warring with industry, one can only assume in an attempt to destroy jobs.  As that war continues, I thought it might be helpful to put some actual numbers in front of our readers so they can get the clearest picture possible about just how many jobs are being lost in the name of environmental protection against the man-made theory of global warming.
National Economic Research Associates (NERA) used the Federal Government’s own data in finding that Obama’s proposed EPA regulations would cost America over 180,000 jobs per year between 2013 and 2020.
This includes effects from the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) as well as  Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) rules.
Here’s a break down of just a handful of the states affected by these regulations:
Projected Job Losses between 2013-2020:
Pennsylvania: 59,000
Ohio: 53,500
West Virginia: 38,500
Michigan: 40,000
Illinois: 48,000
Indiana: 51,500
Wisconsin: 24,500
Iowa: 26,500
Minnesota: 12,500
Florida: 135,000
Missouri: 76,000
Total nationwide will be in the range of 1.44 million jobs lost.
There are ways to help prevent this.  If you haven’t heard of the TRAIN act, it may be voted on this Friday and it will hopefully be a way to reign in some of this tyrannical regulation:
The TRAIN Act (H.R. 2401, “Transparency in Regulatory Analysis of Impacts on the Nation Act of 2011”) establishes an 11-member federal interagency committee, chaired by the Department of Commerce, to analyze the cumulative impacts of a number of major EPA regulations. A final report on the results of the analysis is due to Congress by August 1, 2012.
It bears repeating, though I know I mention this every time, that this is precisely what President Obama said he would do.  He is systematically destroying the coal industry, and the toll on American jobs is extremely high.
If an industry becomes obsolete, there is no preventing the shedding of jobs as the market transitions to a new good or service.  That is not what’s happening here.  What’s happening here is the targeting of a bedrock American industry by a President who thinks he’s saving mother Earth.

Lordhawke says:  Personally, I don't think he really cares about Mother Earth so much as he wants to do the bidding of the International Banksters and destroy America!  This is exactly what he has been told to do by the Money Masters!  This is also a part of Agenda 21; they will use whatever means they deem necessary to place America under UN domination and control.

Government Agenda 21 Update: Family Farms Are Under Attack

Posted on July 31, 2011 at 1:07pm by Mike Opelka

Is the US government starting to implement the policies of the United Nation’s plan for global management of people and resources known as Agenda 21? The latest efforts out of the Department of Transportation (DOT) seem to indicate this is happening. And they are starting by targeting America’s farming communities with costly and oppressive regulations.

In Late May, the DOT proposed a rule change for farm equipment, and if it this allowed to take effect, it will place significant regulatory pressure on small farms and family farms all across America – costing them thousands of dollars and possibly forcing many of them out of business. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), part of the Department of Transportation (DOT), wants new standards that would require all farmers and everyone on the farm to obtain a CDL (Commercial Drivers License) in order to operate any farming equipment. The agency is going to accomplish this by reclassifying all farm vehicles and implements as Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMVs).

(It is also important to note here that DOT Secretary Ray LaHood holds a seat on the newly created White House Rural Council. A powerful group whose members have ties to George Soros and The Center For American Progress.)

The move by the DOT appears to be “legislation through regulation.” By reclassifying all farm vehicles and implements as Commercial Vehicles, the federal government will now be able to claim regulatory control over the estimated 800,000 farm workers in America, at the same time, overriding the rights of the states.

This proposed change literally means family farms could no longer legally allow young workers, not old enough to drive and seniors who no longer drive on the public streets, to operate a tractor… even on the family’s private property.

Waco, TX television station KXXV has the story:

The proposed change also means ANYONE driving a tractor or operating any piece of motorized farming equipment would be forced to pass the same rigorous tests and fill out the same detailed forms and diaries required of semi-tractor trailer drivers. This reclassification would bury small farms and family farms in regulation and paperwork.

Some of the additional paperwork and regulation required:

Detailed logs would need to be kept by all drivers – hours worked, miles traveled, etc.

Vehicles would have to display DOT numbers

Drivers would need to pass a physical as well as a drug test – every two years.

The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation (WFBF) is one of many farm organizations not happy about the idea and has sent the DOT a letter expressing this opinion:

“WFBF opposes any change in statue or regulatory authority that would reclassify implements of husbandry or other farm equipment as Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMVs)”

WFBF Director of Governmental Relations Karen Gefvert continues, explaining the excessive cost to farmers if this allowed to move forward:

“The proposed guidance by the FMCSA would result in an initial increased cost to each Wisconsin farmer and employee of $124 just for the CDL license, permit and test; not to mention the time and cost for the behind-the-wheel training that is several thousand dollars.”

Additionally, Illinois farmers believe this regulation will also force new restrictions on trucks used in crop-share hauling. (One estimate claims more than 30% of Illinois farmers utilize shared land.) These crop-share trucks are typically limited-use vehicles that often travel fewer than 3000 miles each year, mainly hauling crops from the fields to nearby grain elevators. To require them to follow the same rules as semis would also mean a farmer would be forced to purchase substantial insurance.

The Hancock Journal-Pilot covered the story:

Earlier this year, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) began to define crop-share tenant farmers as “for-hire“ carriers and implements of husbandry as ”commercial motor vehicles.“ The ”for-hire” designation for crop-share tenant farmers would have a dramatic effect on farmers because it voids exemptions from the Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) program and would require a minimum of $750,000 in insurance coverage for the farmer.

The DOT is holding hearings for public comment on the topic, but only through Monday, August 1st and farmers all across the country are rightfully concerned. No matter what the feedback is from the people who actually grow the food, it appears that the DOT’s mind is made up. Just last week, DOT Administrator Anna Ferro posted an Op-Ed addressing the controversial regulation. The opinion piece closes with this statement:

Everyone in this Administration – from President Obama, Vice President Biden, and Secretary LaHood on down – is committed to the long-term success of America’s agricultural industry. In many ways, agriculture is the backbone of our economy – feeding hundreds of millions of Americans and billions more around the world. As the largest user of freight transportation in the nation, the agricultural industry is also one of USDOT’s most important constituents. We hope that this comment period is the start of a new and productive relationship. We may not ultimately agree on every issue, but we will always listen — and do our best to help America’s farmers succeed.

(A personal aside, when someone tells you, “We may not ultimately agree on every issue, but we will always listen… ” it has always been my experience that they are going to do whatever they wanted to do in the first place. The “listening” was just to make you feel better.)

The FMCSA has said their intent is to create uniformity in how federal safety regulations are carried out across America. The farming community and many of the states that would be affected by this change feel differently. Almost to a man, the farming community believes this to be a local issue, best handled by state governments, and not some Washington DC agency.

Totalitarian Program ‘Agenda 21′ Now in Effect!

Sep 13, '11 8:20 PM

for Steelnpearls' network

Effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound reorientation of all human society, unlike anything the world has ever experienced a major shift in the priorities of both governments and individuals and an unprecedented redeployment of human and financial resources. This shift will demand that a concern for the environmental consequences of every human action be integrated into individual and collective decision-making at every level.

- George H. Bush

Agenda 21 isn’t coming. It is here. Most don’t know about it. They’ve never heard of it, but it is creeping in the back door right now. So, look behind you. It may already be in your backyard.

What is Agenda 21? It is a United Nation’s program presented and approved in Rio in 1992. At that time American conservatives laughed it off. “This is too crazy,” they said. “Impossible. It will never happen. Not here!” Well, it is happening. It is happening here and it is happening now. Agenda 21 is a totalitarian comprehensive environmental program that, when fully implemented, will direct where you live, how much water you can use, and how and where you can travel.

Agenda 21 is being marketed as a worldwide effort to ensure that all human beings will have access to adequate housing, health care, water and food. Of course this will require a massive redistribution of wealth from prosperous countries to poorer countries. Predictably, capitalistic countries, like the United States, will suffer lower standards of living.

It’s noteworthy that Presidents George H. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama, through Executive Orders, have signed onto Agenda 21. Hundreds more governors, mayors, and county commissioners have also signed on.

Agenda 21 and related programs will eliminate many things we hold dear. These have been declared “unsustainable” and will be abolished. Here are some of them:

All private property rights (property ownership)
All forms of irrigation, pesticides & commercial fertilizer
Livestock production and most meat consumption
Privately owned vehicles and personal travel
Use of fossil fuels for power generation or mechanized travel
Single family homes
Most forms of mineral extraction and timber harvesting
Human population must be reduced to fewer than 1 billion people

It’s not coming from Washington D.C. or state legislatures for the most part. It is seeping in through local city and county governments. Agenda 21 brings with it stealthy code words, comforting words such as “smart growth,” “social justice,” “bio-diversity,” and “sustained development.” You will hear them often. Translated these terms effectively mean total environmental dictatorship and the elevation of the pagan practice of the worship of Mother Earth. Not a joke.

179 countries, including the United States, initially signed on to the Agenda in 1992. Many more have joined since then. It is already in progress in 600 U.S. cities. You can check the list of committed countries and cities at: http://www.iclei.org/index.php?id=11454. You can also read the specific programs being implemented.

Agenda 21 is designed to control every aspect of human life on every square inch of planet earth. As a biblical worldview dims in the world man falls to the bottom of the food chain.

If Agenda 21 succeeds animals will become more important than man as will plants and trees. We can already see ample evidence of this process in motion today. Agenda 21’s real message is: “Man is the problem. Nature must be preserved and take precedence. Mother Earth must not be scratched.“

Agenda 21 is just another attempt by man to recreate heaven on earth. David Chilton, in his insightful book Paradise Restored, presents an important historical dynamic. Chilton submits that man, ever since he was expelled from Eden, has tried to get back in. Each time he tries, he creates another hell on earth. Agenda 21 will be no different.

Many socialistic, communistic, and liberal organizations and international leaders are behind Agenda 21 and its related programs. It will take dedication of time and effort on our part to truly understand all the implications of this pervasive program. The investment of time will be worth it.

I encourage you, no, beg you, to learn of this Agenda. Take the time. Think of the world your children will inherit if we don’t stop it and similar assaults on our freedoms. Do not make the mistake of writing this off as some conspiracy theory. It may or may not be a conspiracy, but it is not a theory. It’s here. Look behind you.

California Banning Walmart?



Dang, Michelle, it was a joke!!!!!



I've caused some laughter in the OA when I've used my fear of Michelle Obama and Meme Roth grabbing my French fries in a metaphorical reference to this Administration's proclivity for usurping our Constitutional rights.  Well, yesterday Twilight Zone moved into Nightmarish Reality.  Michelle Obama appeared with Darden Restaurants, Inc., which is the parent company of Olive Garden and Red Lobster, to announce that french fries will no longer be listed on the children's menus...no pictures of french fries either.  And, I don't know if this is true or not, but there was even some discussion about a minor not being able to order french fries without parental permission.  Are we going to start carding for fries like we do for alcohol?  Don't laugh.  It's not just this one thing about french fries...LA has at least tried, I don't know if they passed the regulation or not, to ban fast food places from entire communities...these were usually minority communities which have been given the designation of "food deserts."  New York City liked LA's ordinance so well, they asked for the whole program so that they could copy it.  There's ordinances being instituted against fast food restaurants being located within 500 ft. of schools.  McDonald's has been forced to get rid of Ronald McDonald.  There was some program where Michelle and her food police put cameras in schools to record the kids' trays with their food selections and then record the trays again when the kids were through eating.

And this is not just Olive Garden and Red Lobster.  Darden Restaurants, Inc.,  is the parent company of many chains in addition to Olive Garden and Red Lobster.  A while back, Michelle was appearing with Walmart and Walgreen executives who were announcing that they would be making our food choices "healthier."

I've also run across info that this may be a payback to the Obama Administration for granting waivers from ObummerCare to companies with payrolls that include a lot of part-time, low-pay employees; i.e. fast food restraurants.  And all the while Miss Michelle BusyBody is working hard to control your food choices, there are pictures and stories all over the net about what the Obamas are eating...carrot sticks no where in sight.

Wake up, America.  They're not only grabbing your french fries.  They're grabbing private property rights, land, eliminating jobs through governmental agencies like EPA, DOT, DOJ, Fishing and Wildlife, DHS, lowering your standard of living and destroying your savings and the economy through the Federal Reserve...

I ran across this comment under an article discussing Michelle's ordering a 1700 calorie meal which, to me, kinda summarizes a lot of America's current reaction:

Posted by Br. France Tue Jul 12, 2011 1:50pm PDT
She probably took in a total of 300 or 400 calories. Most of those from the diet Coke.


Duuuuhhhhh!!!!!!!

We missed the party N.G.O. 64th annual conference training/party to further implement agenda 21 sustainable development

Some of you might have this information but am sending just in case you don’t.


Georgia
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any C.O.G., example North Central Texas Council of Governments, and I.C.L.E.I., International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, usually are in attendance to the annual training sessions.

N.G.O.s from around the world attend to learn advancement, mostly their own personal advancement…(after all, they do receive a hefty paycheck), in getting citizens on board to volunteer for the implementation of global governance, of course they, volunteers, don’t know the real reason. Look at the cost of membership..peanuts to what this organization makes on a daily basis. Fort Worth for their membership, paid N.C.T.C.O.G. close to $75,000.00 to be a member of their organization for 2011. This is just the price to be a member locally ; this does not include impact studies, plans, soft ware and other programs. You can do the math…I wonder what Irving, Dallas, Arlington have paid to N.C.T.C.O.G.. There are other N.G.O.s by other names in other areas of Texas and the United States…they all have the same goal in mind, same plans for infrastructure concerning our water, resources, roads, lifestyle, living accommodations. Conformity in lifestyle, infrastructure to bring about global equality.

Corporations,..G.E., PepsiCo, for two examples, big business has jumped on board because of tax incentives, tax breaks, federal grants, Private, Public, Partnerships, see this link to sell big corporations on the idea of greening, global warming and sustainable development, smart growth, economic development

Labor Department Seeks New Rules To Restrict Use of Young Farm Workers

U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis
 
Wednesday, August 31, 2011

By Fred Lucas

(CNSNews.com) – The U.S. Department of Labor is seeking to update child labor laws to put more restrictions on farm workers under the age of 18 from working with manure, pesticides, driving tractors and engaging in certain other agricultural activities.


Department officials made the announcement on Wednesday during a conference call with reporters.


Public comment for the regulations is open until Nov. 1 of this year. The rules have not been updated since 1970, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said during the call. The current rules under the Fair Labor Standards Act already prohibit young workers from certain tasks.

“Children employed in agriculture are some of the most vulnerable workers in America,” Solis said. “Ensuring their welfare is a priity of the department, and this proposal is another element of our comprehensive approach.”

Exemptions would be made under the proposed rules for children who work on farms owned by their parents.


The strengthened child labor rules, which would be enforced by the department’s Wage and Hour Division, would bar agricultural work with pesticide handling, timber operations, manure pits and storage bins. Farm workers under the age of 16 would not be allowed to participate in working on tobacco. This would include cultivation, harvesting and curing tobacco.

The rules are also designed to stop anyone below the age of 18 from being employed in the storing, marketing and transporting of farm product raw materials. Prohibited places of employment would include country grain elevators, grain bins, and grain silos, feed lots, stockyards, livestock exchanges and livestock auctions.

Further, farm workers under the age of 16 would be banned from using all power-driven equipment, including tractors, with an exemption for student learners.

Hilda Solis...colorful character with "close ties to NCLR" ...and MEChA, I bet.  2011 Honoree for Excellence in Government Service at the MALDEF Gala Awards.   Just type her name in your search bar.  Betcha before long, you'll be livid.




"Although some of La Raza’s government funding was earmarked by congress, virtually all of it was doled out by the Obama administration. Sixty percent of La Raza's take came from the Department of Labor—run by Hilda Solis. They lobbied hard for her appointment and honored her with an award. She paid them back—with millions of our tax dollars." ~ Tom Tancredo  http://townhall.com/columnists/tomtancredo/2011/07/29/por_la_raza,_nada/page/full/

Raids are increasing on farms and private food-supply clubs

14 Jul 2010 1:32 PM

 When the 20 agents arrived bearing a search warrant at her Ventura County farmhouse door at 7 a.m. on a Wednesday a couple weeks back, Sharon Palmer didn't know what to say. This was the third time she was being raided in 18 months, and she had thought she was on her way to resolving the problem over labeling of her goat cheese that prompted the other two raids. (In addition to producing goat's milk, she raises cattle, pigs, and chickens, and makes the meat available via a CSA.)


But her 12-year-old daughter, Jasmine, wasn't the least bit tongue-tied. "She started back-talking to them," recalls Palmer. "She said, 'If you take my computer again, I can't do my homework.' This would be the third computer we will have lost. I still haven't gotten the computers back that they took in the previous two raids."
