We are not immune to the vagaries of this nation, or this world, in North Carolina | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Over the last few months, along with many others, I've become educated on the threat of the United Nations program called Agenda 21 (Agenda for the 21st Century) and the impact it has already had on the lives of freedom-loving citizens all over the world, including us in North Carolina. Acts of the United Nations - because it carries international law and not US Constitutional law - are considered "soft laws" so they are not legally binding on us until accepted by our US Congress. That is the potential danger. However, they are surprisingly often treated as biding law. That is the present danger.

    Governing agencies within the United States, like the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), have already warmed up to the one-world-government concepts of Agenda 21 under our noses. The goals of Agenda 21 are evident in nearly every aspect of our lives since its inception in 1992 at the United Nations Earth Summit. There is another UN Earth Summit scheduled for July 2012 where a proposed UN Environmental Constitution For the World will be presented. This constitution, as presented, is a repressive system of global governance. We want no part of it - our leaders must not agree to this on our behalf in any form.

    Through insidious stealth depending on misrepresentations and infiltration, the promotion of "collective" over "individualism" has crept into our schools; our local, state and federal governments; our corporations and even our churches. Such comments as "for the common good" and "sacrifices of the individual for the many" and the elevation of "teamwork" over "personal achievement" or "self-reliance" and the concept of self-esteem without actually doing anything noteworthy are commonplace. What is "fairness" except the exploitation of the "haves" for the benefit, earned or not, of the "have-nots"? Life is not fair and to think otherwise is delusional. Community planning has sought out "sustainable development", a code word for removing otherwise legal human access to property or "smart growth" intended to limit human access to rural lands. Buy-in to the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) (also called Local Governments for Sustainability), a UN accredited Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), is in violation of Article 1, Section 10 of the US Constitution which prohibits states and their subdivisions from entering alliances with foreign operatives.

    Implementation of Agenda 21 concepts takes the form of public/private partnerships. The underlying principle is that government, not God or the people, is the maker of rights. Complicit private corporations/consultants/facilitators take control of organizations to cripple its economical standing and eventually to take over its private
property. Methodologies include pretending to care for the environment and wildlife while instituting programs that endanger or kill the environment and wildlife. Kill hundreds of otters to save a handful of birds. Play God with life and liberty. Confusion reigns. An example is wasting billions of dollars on so-called sea-rise knowing full well scientists have demonstrated ocean levels are routinely cyclical. Teaching children to care for hypothetical environmental issues to the detriment of a basic solid education of American History, geography, spelling, creative thinking, etc. Spread of death through abortions, eugenics, death panels, so-called "quality of life" over "sanctity of life" decision-making and the shocking increase in suicides among our youth has found a home in our modern culture. Social justice replaces rule of law. Public debate is limited to politically correct topics. It is all connected.

    Where this hits home for Eastern North Carolina is the senseless persecution of our hard-working commercial fishermen an loggers, the community-killing decisions to block our public beaches and charge excessive fees for access in the name of saving 38 nesting plovers (beachside only, the island nesters don't count - how convenient is that), the outrageously expensive home-owner and dwelling insurance policies, the dumbing down of our schools regardless of the $8K per pupil per year dumped into our technologically blessed schools and countless other regulations and laws that leave us scratching our heads in wonderment and despair. Why has the war on drugs failed? Why are more people on the dole than paying taxes? Why so many overlapping organizations all charging fees and making more legal demands on property owners? This is no accident.

    Case in point is Currituck County. A new Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) is being considered by the Currituck Commissioners. A meeting on this topic is scheduled for Monday, April 2nd. The UDO appears neutral. Perhaps it is perfectly fine with no threat to liberty. Maybe those property owners who attend facilitated sessions actually had the chance to speak their piece without being manipulated. However, considering the now known potential for organizations to insert United Nations One World Order concepts into town planning and development, as responsible citizens it is our duty to stop long enough to fully scrutinize every regulation to weed out ideas targeting the private property rights and self-reliant spirit of every law-abiding citizen and business.

    Understand that the end goal of Agenda 21 is to create a one-world-government led by an elitist class of overlords. Population control is paramount. Sounds like socialism? How about communism? Though sold as a utopia where everyone does whatever they want and no one owns anything more than the shared collective, think North Korea. Think Cuba. Think East Germany. Think Soviet Russia. Think the Tragedy of the Commons. The experiment of a one-world-government will always end in tyranny as surely as a democracy tends to end in apathy unless it is carefully guarded and passed on intact to future generations.

    The Republican National Committee approved a resolution against Agenda 21 in January. The Dare County Commissioners approved a resolution against Agenda 21 in February. Many other counties in North Carolina have also resolved to reject Agenda 21. Now the real work begins: recognize it, undo damage already done and put up a wall of protection from further erosion.

    Learn more about the plans the United Nations has for us. Learn about Gaia, the earth goddess worshipped by the UN. More importantly, teach the miracle of the US Constitution to our children. Build committees to review existing building codes, communities planning documents, budgets, social programs, school curriculum, etc. Resist the temptation to spend outside our government and personal income levels. Challenge any touted science lacking documented proof and shilled as the newest crisis de jour (which is fixable, of course, for a price). Protect private property rights. Maintain gun rights. Become involved in your community. VOTE! Meet your neighbors. Love your families. Remember that the Creator who gave us our unalienable rights, as documented by our Founding Fathers, is still in control. Let's acknowledge Him as we move forward in the 21st Century in freedom.
