Henry Lamb has the latest move by an American political ledaer to put the Unitee Nations in control of this country:
Al Gore was beside himself when the Senate failed to ratify the Convention on Biological Diversity in 1994. Gore had spent the first two years of his vice presidency developing what he called his "Ecosystem Management Policy." This new policy was nothing more than preparing the agencies of government to implement the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Convention on Biological Diversity and Agenda 21. These three policy documents were adopted in Rio de Janeiro at the 1992 U.N. Conference on Environment and Development.
Agenda 21 was the only document that was not an international treaty. It was, instead, a non-binding "soft-law" document that was designed to avoid the necessity of congressional debate or Senate ratification. Bill Clinton issued an executive order to create the President's Council on Sustainable Development (PCSD) especially to implement Agenda 21 administratively – without oversight or interference from Congress. The agencies of government have done a masterful job of infecting almost all urban communities with some form of government control under the guise of "Sustainable Development," which is the objective of Agenda 21.
Now, the Obama regime intends to impose the same kind of control over rural America through his White House Rural Council, also created by executive order.
The rather bland 18-page Convention on Biological Diversity came with an 1,140-page instruction book called the Global Biodiversity Assessment. Page 993 of this instruction book says that the Convention's plan for protecting biodiversity is "…central to the Wildlands Project recently proposed in the United States." Page 15 of the Wildlands Project says:
"... at least half of the land area of the 48 conterminous states should be encompassed in core reserves and inner corridor zones ... assuming that most of the other 50 percent is managed intelligently as buffer zone."
Since the President's Council on Sustainable Development was created, agencies of the federal government and complicit environmental organizations have been working overtime to get people out of rural areas and into "stack-'n'-pack" high-rise so-called "sustainable" communities. Under the guise of "preserving open space," unelected bureaucrats ignore the property rights of the people who own the open space and write regulations that sometimes require as much as 40 acres to build a single home. Quite often, development of any sort is absolutely prohibited. These regulations are typically delivered to a community through a comprehensive land-use plan.
In more rural areas, especially in the farming and ranching parts of the country, these measures have not been as successful as the government wants. That's why a new extension of the PCSD is needed. This time, however, they are calling it the White House Rural Council.
