Page 11 of 121

AGENDA 21 Sustainable Development is antithetical to the Declaration of Independence, the U.S.
Constitution, and the inalienable rights George Washington identified in this proclamation: “Private
property and freedom are inseparable.”

Sustainable Development is deceptively implemented by a myriad of schemes that circumvent
Congressional legislation, traditional jurisdictions, statutory law, normal debate and public voting.
This movement exploits a deliberately complex matrix of manufactured environmental/economic
crises, Executive Orders, draconian EPA regulations, green initiatives, NGO grants, public/private
monopolies, regional bureaucracies, community “visioning” meetings, manufactured consensus, and a
plethora of administrative regulations.

Another AGENDA 21 example is the Orton Family Foundation, an NGO behind the canceled
“Comprehensive Plan” for rural La Plata County, Colorado, which sought to concentrate their
population into “Smart Growth” "mixed use" corridors in condos above the street level retail
businesses. “Durango has not experienced a housing bubble or high unemployment. However, they
have destroyed their once historic downtown with a massive infill project in recent years, increasing
population and traffic in its downtown area with townhomes and “smart growth towers.”

The Orton Family Foundation helped design the Colorado Smart Growth Scorecard document posted
on no less than the EPA’s website. The out-of-control and thuggish EPA, classifying life-giving CO2 as
a pollutant, is teaming up with dozens of NGO’s to aggressively implement AGENDA 21.

This quote from Heidi Hall echoes the main media’s standardized ridicule of anyone concerned about
AGENDA 21. “Agenda 21 was a lovely document produced to help move the world towards more
sustainable living, promoting smart growth and care for our surroundings. It has, like most UN
documents, no teeth. And it respects national boundaries and sovereignty. I saw it as a rather pie-in-
the-sky effort, but forward thinking nonetheless.

I cannot fathom why a group of people would twist this document into an ugly conspiracy that
supposedly hopes to cage people in cities to let wildlife roam free, and then rule those people in a
global government. This is one of the most laughable conspiracies around today, except that it has
been taken seriously by too many people, apparently most ferociously by the extreme right. The
document is easily Googled and read, and you will find absolutely nothing to support such fear-
mongering talk.

I suggest that people use their critical thinking skills and do their own research when it comes to
conspiracy theories like these.”

The main media, as usual, insults your intelligence by spewing consternation and mockery instead
offering any substantial argument. They assume most of America can be brainwashed instead of
informed.

Tom DeWeese cites these examples from publications that many believe are reputable (a sad fact
deserving a complete analysis in itself).

“So, the Progressives are using all of their impressive resources in government, the news media and
the Internet to publish articles and plant their attempts to ridicule, cast doubt and spread their own
creative conspiracy theories about our unexplained successes.
