Alabama Bans U.N. Agenda 21 Sovereignty Surrender
Property Rights: Few
have heard of Agenda 21, the U.N. plan for sustainable development that
tosses property rights aside. But Alabama has, and it recently secured a
victory as important as that over union power in Wisconsin.
After
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's stunning triumph over the excesses and
abuses of public-sector unions, the London Telegraph's James Delingpole,
an indefatigable opponent of global warming fraud, opined in a piece
titled, "How Wisconsin And Alabama Helped Save The World," that we
should take note of "an equally important but perhaps less
well-publicized victory won in the Alabama House and Senate over the
U.N.'s malign and insidious Agenda 21."
Agenda
21 is one of those compacts, like Law of the Sea, Kyoto and New START,
that are supported by an apologetic administration with a fondness for
the redistribution of American power and wealth on a local and global
scale.
It
fits in perfectly with President Obama's pledge to "fundamentally
transform" America, its institutions and its heritage of capitalist
freedom.
Agenda
21 has not been ratified by the U.S. Senate, but it may not have to be
if in a second Obama term the Environmental Protection Agency pursues it
by stealth, as it has other environmental agendas that make war on the
free enterprise system and rights we hold dear.
One
of those is property rights. "Land ... cannot be treated as an ordinary
asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and
inefficiencies of the market," Agenda 21 says.
"Private
land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and
concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice;
if unchecked, it may become a major obstacle in the planning and
implementation of development schemes."
Not
liking the sound of that, Alabama recently passed Senate Bill 477
unanimously in both of its houses. The legislation bars the taking of
private property in Alabama without due process and says that "Alabama
and all political subdivisions may not adopt or implement policy
recommendations that deliberately or inadvertently infringe or restrict
private property rights without due process, as may be required by
policy recommendations originating in or traceable to Agenda 21."
Agenda
21 is intended to foster what environmentalists call "sustainable
development" in the belief that man since the Industrial Revolution has
been a plague on the planet, plundering its resources while destroying
nature and putting the world at risk of disastrous climate change,
poverty and disease.
At
the end of March, EPA administrator Lisa Jackson jetted off to Paris'
ministerial meeting of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and
Development, as the press release put it, "to discuss the agency's
international efforts on urban sustainability."
Excuse us, but "urban sustainability" at the behest of global organizations is not what the EPA was created to do.
Jackson
will represent the U.S. at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable
Development, which will be held June 20-22 in Rio de Janeiro.
"Specifically,
in a transition to a green economy, public policies will need to be
used strategically to reorient consumption, investments and other
economic activities," a U.N. document describing the conference
explains.
The
EPA's war on coal, its regulating carbon dioxide as a pollutant and its
regulatory abuses including the use of drones to spy on American
farmers are key parts of this international agenda that Jackson says "is
the rarest of opportunities to truly change the world. ... It means
working together to strengthen the effectiveness of environmental
governance."
We don't need "environmental governance," just a governance of, by and for the people of the United States.
Nor do we need to "reorient" our consumption and economic activities.
Alabama has just told the U.N. and the EPA what they need to be told — don't tread on us.
