Question: What if the environmental movement is not just about saving the environment, but includes much, much more?
UN Agenda 21 is a comprehensive set of plans of action to promote sustainable development and eliminate national sovereignty in favor of allowing global control by the United Nations and their approved NGOs. 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development.
This Plan defines Local Sustainable Development policies as Smart Growth, Wildlands Project, Resilient Cities, Regional Visioning Projects, STAR Sustainable Communities, Green jobs, Green Building Codes, Going Green, Alternative Energy, Local Visioning, facilitators, regional planning, historic preservation, conservation easements, development rights, sustainable farming, comprehensive planning, growth management, consensus.
"Ski runs, grazing of livestock, plowing of soil, building fences, industry, single family homes, paves and tarred roads, logging activities, dams and reservoirs, power line construction, and economic systems that fail to set proper value on the environment." UN's Biodiversity Assessment Report.
"Sustainable Development Defined: Living a bare-bones, waste not-want not, "sustainable" lifestyle entails having your life and the lives of your loved ones micromanaged through an internationally governed system of laws and mandates purportedly designed to ensure the equitable redistribution of wealth, but which, in truth, will totally destroy our Republic and our U.S. Constitution and all the protection it was designed to give to the American people." - R. Harris
"The threat of an environmental crisis will be the international disaster key that will unlock the New World Order." - Mikhail Gorbachev, 1991

Agenda 21:The Earth Summit Strategy to Save Our Planet (Earthpress, 1993).
"We need a new collaborative decision process that leads to better decisions, more rapid change, and more sensible use of human, natural and financial resources in achieving our goals." Report from the Presidents Council on Sustainable Development.
"Individual rights will have to take a back seat to the collective." Harvey Ruvin, Vice Chairman, ICLEI."Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life, secondly to liberty, and thirdly to property; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can." - Samuel Adams
"Property is surely a right of mankind as real as liberty." - John Adams "No power on earth has a right to take our property from us without our consent." - John Jay "As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights." - James Madison "A right to property is founded in our natural wants, in the means with which we are endowed to satisfy these wants, and the right to what we acquire by those means without violating the similar rights of other sensible beings." - Thomas Jefferson "Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their death." - James Madison "All men are created equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; among which are the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing the obtaining of happiness and safety.""The great and chief end therefore, of men united into commonwealths, and putting themselves under government, is the preservation of their
property."
- John Locke
"...Land cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market.
Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth, therefore contributes to social injustice.
"

"It is clear that current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts of frozen and convenience foods, use of fossil fuels, ownership of motor vehicles and small electrical appliances, home and workplace airconditioning, and suburban housing are not sustanable." Maurice Strong, Secretary General of the U.N. Earth Summit 1992.

Many of the terms and phases of the environmental movement are redefined from common english to describe something totally different. The terminology becomes very deceptive. See the following table for UN definitions for some common environmental terms.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Sustainable Development | "Sustainable Development" is one of many terms describing a United Nations plan for the "Fundamental Transformation'' of governments and societies big and small around the globe. It's stated purpose is to impose "Social Justice" which enforces one approved living standard for all inhabitants of the Earth. |
| Social Justice | The principle that all persons are entitled to &Quotbasic human needs&Quot, regardless of &Quotsuperficial differences such as economic disparity, class, gender, race, ethnicity, citizenship, religion, age, sexual orientation, disability, or health&Quot. This includes the eradication of poverty and illiteracy, the establishment of sound environmental policy, and equality of opportunity for healthy personal and social development. Social justice is based on the concept of human rights and equality and involves a greater degree of economic egalitarianism through progressive taxation, income redistribution, or even property redistribution. |
| Livable City | The view that a city is only livable if it does not contain cars or industry, and it must support mixed-use development and support for pedestrians and bikes. |
| Smart Growth | An anti-growth agenda that seeks to limit developing any new land for housing, business or industry. |
| Greenhouse Gases(GHG) | Water vapor and CO2 being the major ones which are a normal part of our atmosphere. Humidity leads to rain and maintains average temperatures. CO2 is necessary for plant life to exist. |
| Alternative Energy | Includes all renewable energy sources, such as hydroelectricity, solar energy, wind energy, wave power, geothermal energy, bioenergy, and tidal power. |
| Re-distribution of Wealth | "Agenda 21 seeks to establish a mechanism for transferring wealth from the citizens of the United States to the Third World. Fear of environmental crises would be used to create a world government and U.N central direction." Dixy Lee Ray, former Washington State Governor |
| Visioning | A technique of planting ideas into an audience and then pretending that the outcome of the meeting was derived from public or stakeholder input. |
| consensus | Groupthink - usually a manufactured group opinion. |
| Climate Change | Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years, caused by human activity. |
| The 4 "E's"of Agenda 21 are not what they appear: |

"It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood..." - James Madison, in "Federalist Paper Number 62"
