About Tom DeWeese
TOM is one of the
nation’s leading advocates of individual liberty, free enterprise,
private property rights, personal privacy, back-to-basics education
and American sovereignty and independence.
A resident of Virginia since 1982, Tom is a native of Ohio. He’s
been a candidate for the Ohio Legislature, served as editor of two
newspapers, and has owned several businesses since the age of 23. In
1989 Tom led the only privately-funded election-observation team to
the Panamanian elections. In 2006 Tom was invited to Cambridge
University to debate the issue of the United Nations before the
Cambridge Union, a 200 year old debating society. Today he serves as
Founder and President of the American Policy Center and editor of
The DeWeese Report and author of the book “Now Tell Me I Was Wrong.”
Tom DeWeese was one of the first to voice concern over the radical
agenda of the environmental movement and to question its motives.
Since 1992 he has been sounding the alarm against the UN’s Agenda 21
and its policy of Sustainable Development as a threat to private
property rights, free markets and American sovereignty and
independence.
For 40 years Tom DeWeese has been a businessman, grassroots
activist, writer and publisher. As such, he has always advocated a
firm belief in man’s need to keep moving forward while protecting
our Constitutionally-guaranteed rights. |

Agenda 21 - In One Easy Lesson
REF: http://americanpolicy.org/agenda21/ |
|
Awareness of Agenda 21 and Sustainable Development is racing across
the nation as citizens in community after community are learning
what their city planners are actually up to. As awareness grows, I
am receiving more and more calls for tools to help activists fight
back. Many complain that elected officials just won’t read detailed
reports or watch long videos. “Can you give us something that is
quick, and easy to read that we can hand out,” I’m asked. |
|
|
|
So here it is. A one page, quick description of Agenda 21 that fits
on one page. I’ve also included for the back side of your hand out a
list of quotes for the perpetrators of Agenda 21 that should back up
my brief descriptions. |
|
|
|
A word of caution, use this as a starter kit, but do not allow it to
be your only knowledge of this very complex subject. To kill it you
have to know the facts. Research, know your details; discover the
NGO players in your community; identify who is victimized by the
policies and recruit them to your fight; and then kill Agenda 21.
That’s how it must be done. The information below is only your first
step. Happy hunting. |

What is Sustainable Development? |
|
According to its authors, the objective of sustainable development
is to integrate economic, social and environmental policies in order
to achieve reduced consumption, social equity, and the preservation
and restoration of biodiversity. Sustainablists insist that every
societal decision be based on environmental impact, focusing on
three components; global land use, global education, and global
population control and reduction. |
|
|
|
Social Equity (Social injustice) |
|
Social justice is described as the right and opportunity of all
people “to benefit equally from the resources afforded us by society
and the environment.” Redistribution of wealth. Private property is
a social injustice since not everyone can build wealth from it.
National sovereignty is a social injustice. Universal health care is
a social injustice. All part of Agenda 21 policy. |
|
|
|
Economic Prosperity |
|
Public Private Partnerships (PPP). Special dealings between
government and certain, chosen corporations which get tax breaks,
grants and the government’s power of Eminent Domain to implement
sustainable policy. Government-sanctioned monopolies. |
|
|
|

Who is behind it? |
|
ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability (formally,
International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives).
Communities pay ICLEI dues to provide “local” community plans,
software, training, etc. Addition groups include American Planning
Council, The Renaissance Planning Group, International City/ County
Management Group, aided by US Mayors Conference, National Governors
Association, National League of Cities, National Association of
County Administrators and many more private organizations and
official government agencies. Foundation and government grants drive
the process. |
|
|
|
Where did it originate? |
|
The term Sustainable Development was first introduced to the world
in the pages a 1987 report (Our Common Future) produced by the
United Nations World Commission on Environmental and Development,
authored by Gro Harlem Brundtland, VP of the World Socialist Party.
The term was first offered as official UN policy in 1992, in a
document called UN Sustainable Development Agenda 21, issued at the
UN’s Earth Summit, today referred to simply as Agenda 21. |
|
|
|
What gives Agenda 21 Ruling Authority? |
|
More than 178 nations adopted Agenda 21 as official policy during a
signing ceremony at the Earth Summit. US president George H.W. Bush
signed the document for the US. In signing, each nation pledge to
adopt the goals of Agenda 21. In 1995, President Bill Clinton, in
compliance with Agenda 21, signed Executive Order #12858 to create
the President’s Council on Sustainable Development in order to
“harmonize” US environmental policy with UN directives as outlined
in Agenda 21. The EO directed all agencies of the Federal Government
to work with state and local community governments in a joint effort
“reinvent” government using the guidelines outlined in Agenda 21. As
a result, with the assistance of groups like ICLEI, Sustainable
Development is now emerging as government policy in every town,
county and state in the nation. |

Revealing Quotes From the Planners |
|
“Agenda 21 proposes an array of actions which are intended to be
implemented by EVERY person on Earth…it calls for specific changes
in the activities of ALL people… Effective execution of Agenda 21
will REQUIRE a profound reorientation of ALL humans, unlike anything
the world has ever experienced…
” Agenda 21: The Earth Summit Strategy to Save Our Planet (Earthpress,
1993). Emphases – DR |
|
|
|
Urgent to implement – but we don’t know what it is! |
|
“The realities of life on our planet dictate that continued economic
development as we know it cannot be sustained…Sustainable
development, therefore is a program of action for local and global
economic reform – a program that has yet to be fully defined.”
The Local Agenda 21 Planning Guide, published by ICLEI, 1996. |
|
|
|
“No one fully understands how or even, if, sustainable development
can be achieved; however, there is growing consensus that it must be
accomplished at the local level if it is ever to be achieved on a
global basis.”
The Local Agenda 21 Planning Guide, published by ICLEI, 1996. |
|
|
|
Agenda 21 and Private Property |
|
“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.”
From the report from the 1976 UN’s Habitat I Conference. |
|
|
|
“Private land use decisions are often driven by strong economic
incentives that result in several ecological and aesthetic
consequences…The key to overcoming it is through public policy…”
Report from the President’s Council on Sustainable Development, page
112. |
|
|
|
“Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle
class – involving high meat intake, use of fossil fuels, appliances,
home and work air conditioning, and suburban housing are not
sustainable.”
Maurice Strong, Secretary General of the UN’s Earth Summit, 1992. |
|
|
|
Reinvention of Government |
|
“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 President’s Council on Sustainable Development |
|
|
|
“Individual rights will have to take a back seat to the collective.”
Harvey Ruvin, Vice Chairman, ICLEI. The Wildlands Project |
|
|
|
“We must make this place an insecure and inhospitable place for
Capitalists and their projects – we must reclaim the roads and
plowed lands, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, free
shackled rivers and return to wilderness millions of tens of
millions of acres or presently settled land.”
Dave Foreman, Earth First. |
|
|
|
What is not sustainable? |
|
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. |
|
|
|
Hide Agenda 21’s UN roots from the people |
|
“Participating in a UN advocated planning process would very likely
bring out many of the conspiracy- fixated groups and individuals in
our society… This segment of our society who fear ‘one-world
government’ and a UN invasion of the United States through which our
individual freedom would be stripped away would actively work to
defeat any elected official who joined ‘the conspiracy’ by
undertaking LA21. So we call our process something else, such as
comprehensive planning, growth management or smart growth.”
J. Gary Lawrence, advisor to President Clinton’s Council on
Sustainable Development. |
