3. AGENDA 21 HAS ALREADY PERMEATED YOUR COMMUNITY

The 9 strategies listed below, and many more, were responsible for steamrolling AGENDA 21 into
every region of the United States, despite the fact that the Senate didn’t ratify the Biodiversity Treaty
in 1994. As we’ve seen above, AGENDA 21 encompasses far more than radical environmentalism
which already had a full head of steam since President Nixon formed the fascist Environmental
Protection Agency in December 1970, without Congressional Approval.

1) President H.W. Bush’s “policy recommendations”
2) Comprehensive Planning
3) Growth Management Acts
4) President Clinton’s Executive Order 12852 instituting the President’s Council on Sustainable
Development
4) Government and NGO Grants
5) Government Agencies, especially the EPA, USDA, U.S. National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service
6) The American Planning Association (NGO)
7) The Institute for Sustainable Development (NGO)
8) The International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (NGO)
9) Many other wealthy and powerful NGOs flooding state capitals with lobbyists, money and a flood of
issue documents including the Sierra Club, Nature Conservancy, Audubon Society, Ducks Unlimited,
National Wildlife Federation.

The intentional context for incremental stealth implementation of AGENDA 21 is your town. This is
also where citizen watchdogs are thwarting and reversing undemocratic local planning regulations
and policies (many case studies on this below).

America isn’t yet like Canada where AGENDA 21 is actually the law of land via their Federal
Sustainable Development Act, where every federal agency has to enforce Sustainable Development
mandates.

In the U.S., local elected officials are sanctioning the adoption of Sustainable Development policies by
local and county planners and NGOs. The public, even many of the planners themselves, are unaware
of any national or global impetus, even though the strategies originated from AGENDA 21. Most of
them are honorably motivated to optimize the growth, conservation, culture, commercial and
residential development, transportation, schooling and economies of their cherished communities.

“Prior to the adoption of a local zoning ordinance, the village, town or city developed as a result of the
wishes of the people who owned the land being development; purely the result of a free market
expressing itself in a local community. When a village, town or city adopted it first zoning ordinance,
the existing land use formed the basis for the zoning designations. Changes to the existing land use, or
zoning designations were initiated by the land owners who wanted the designations changes.
Page 11, Sustainable Development or Sustainable Freedom, Henry Lamb, Freedom 21.

“Only locally elected officials had the authority to change the zoning. They had to balance the request
and rights of the land owner with the desires and rights of the other constituents. The local
government, closest to the people governed, is most accountable to the people affected by land use
decisions.”
Ibid.

“Comprehensive Planning required by sustainable development is not initiated by the land owners, or
by the local community. It is initiated by a coalition of international organizations that organized their
vision of how everyone ought to live, and put that vision into a book called AGENDA 21….without
Congressional consideration or debate, President Bill Clinton imposed that vision on America with an
Executive Order.”
