Agenda 21 and the UN's Goal to Divide the World into 10 Regions

Unemployment, Now That’s Sustainable

October 18, 2009

NewsWithViews - ...International trade agreements are not designed to benefit the United States, its people, its workers, or its future. They are designed to benefit the poorest countries, at the expense of the American people, leveling the “playing field,” lowering the American standard of living down to the “sustainable” level of third-world status.

In other words, unemployment in America, the loss of our jobs, the shrinking of the American way of life, the eradication of our freedom to travel, the elimination of the middle class is socially and environmentally “sustainable.”

The wealth of the American people is to be redistributed to the poorest nations, in accordance with chapter 3 of Agenda 21. Our consumption patterns have to be changed in accordance with chapter 4 of Agenda 21. We’ve been sold out by globalist scum, and nothing is ever going to change unless the people understand that this is a part of a deliberate agenda. It isn’t incompetence on the part of our “elected” officials. It isn’t a recession. It isn’t a bad economic downturn. It’s the effects of globalism. Period! We are reaping the natural results of policies that are designed to bankrupt our country.

I hear people say, all of the time, regarding the economy, “it will come back.” Sorry to burst your bubble, but no it won’t! It will never come back until the WTO trade agreements which put us into this mess are rescinded. That won’t happen until the appropriate pressure is applied to Washington by the people and by our state lawmakers who must be pressured to go to Washington and demand the changes.

And if you people who call yourselves “Democrats,” think your buddy Obama is any better than Bush was, then I ask why hasn’t he rescinded these treaties which have obviously been so detrimental to our country? Why haven’t the unions — which have seen their memberships and dues decline — demanded a revoking of the international trade agreements that have brought America to its knees?

Keep in mind, it was the unions which helped put Clinton in office, who then stabbed the American worker in the back by promoting NAFTA after promising to oppose it. It was Bill Clinton who established the President’s Council on Sustainable Development to kick start Agenda 21 implementation in the United States after the 1992 Rio Earth Summit.

Agenda 21 implementation mandates the redistribution of wealth from developed to developing countries. It is the reason why your jobs have left. It is Bill’s wife, Hillary Clinton, who currently serves as head of the U.S. State Department, which is the chief agency of the United States government that implements the UN agenda of “sustainability” in America.

When will the American people ever realize that there is no difference between parties? We are not red states, blue states, conservatives, liberals, Republicans, or Democrats. We are Americans. It is about time we dispelled with the labels that the social engineers have developed to divide us — and that we’ve so freely embraced for ourselves — and began to act like true countrymen.

An ancient Roman philosopher named Cicero once said:

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared.”

As I write these words, Ireland has just voted for a second time on the Lisbon Treaty, the Constitution of the European Union. Unlike the first time where they voted it down last year, they just approved it by a margin of 67 to 33 percent. Their government’s fear campaign of economic doom and gloom was the chief reason for the voters who favored it at the polls, according to exit polls. In other words, they were willing to hand the sovereignty of their country over to a regional governing body on the promise of economic prosperity.

They bought the same globalist lie for which America fell when we accepted GATT, NAFTA, CAFTA and many other foreign trade entanglements. If Poland and the Czech Republic follow Ireland — and they are expected to do so — we can look forward to a new European presidency and Secretary of State to be formed. Ireland will eventually cease to exist, as the sovereignty of all of the 27 member countries of the EU will be gradually chipped away, until there is nothing left.

As Americans tail gate, drink beer, and watch their football games, they don’t have time to worry about the fate of the Irish, the Poles, or the Czechs. But they would be do well to learn the lessons of Europe. As the globalist thieves have taken Ireland, so too they come for the West.

Iran Proposes Setting Up ‘Asian Union’

October 16, 2009

Press TV - The Iranian foreign minister has proposed setting up the ‘Asian Union’ to strengthen economic cooperation among Asian counties.

“We are trying to find a united stance on different economic issues to address the challenges presented by the economic crisis and offer appropriate management solution for the world,” Manouchehr Mottaki said at the 8th Asia Cooperation Dialogue (ACD) Ministerial Meeting in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

“If we are united, we will have closer cooperation in the fields of trade, tourism and transportation,” he said, expressing hope for the forging of better ties among Asian countries.

“We believe that a collective effort is required to ensure interests are generated and losses are reduced in regional equations,” the top Iranian diplomat said.

The ACD Ministerial Meeting is being held in Colombo under the theme of ‘Spirit of Asia: Global Economic Recovery and Development Prospects’ with the participation of its 31 member countries.

Iran, which became a member of ACD in 2004, will host the gathering next year.

INTERPOL and UN Seek Greater Support for Police Role in Peacekeeping Missions

October 12, 2009

PRNewswire-USNewswire - INTERPOL and the United Nations have partnered to secure international commitments for greater support for the role of police in peacekeeping operations worldwide. This increased support is seen as a key element to restoring the rule of law in post conflict zones, fragile states and achieving sustainable peace.

Secretary General Ronald K. Noble described INTERPOL’s partnership with the UN as “an alliance of all nations” that would commit INTERPOL to deliver international police expertise, more skilled police personnel and frontline access to its global resources in countries suffering or recovering from conflicts, in order to help them achieve and build peace and combat transnational crime.

“If UN peacekeepers assigned to post-conflict zones or fragile states are asked to perform police-like functions and to combat transnational crime, then more peacekeepers should come from the ranks of police and be given access to INTERPOL’s global databases,” said INTERPOL Secretary General Noble.

At a meeting of more than 60 justice, interior and foreign affairs ministers with senior law enforcement officers from around the world, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon spoke via video of ‘the need for greater respect for the rule of law’ in the world’s most troubled parts, describing INTERPOL as ‘a natural partner’ to restore stability following war and to address the challenges on the ground.

Representing the UN at the meeting, Under-Secretary-General Alain Le Roy said that UN co-operation with INTERPOL had been reinforced by the recognition of “a clear link between crime and conflict” and the fact that serious and organized crime was prevalent in many conflict areas.

Secretary General Noble told the assembly:

“In the framework of our partnership with the UN, INTERPOL will provide deployed police peacekeepers with access to the world’s only secure global police communications system; global police databases including names of criminals, fingerprints, DNA profiles, stolen passports, and stolen vehicles; and specialized investigative support in key crime areas, including fugitives, drugs, terrorism, trafficking in human beings and corruption.”

The ministers in attendance are endorsing a special Declaration which will set a roadmap for police to play its full role in meeting today’s peacekeeping challenges.

China and India Set To Become Established Global Powers

October 4, 2009

The Observer - The wrenching financial crisis of the past two years will provide the catalyst for a profound change in the global economy – which, according to the man running the World Bank, will see China and India become established centres of power, the dollar eclipsed as the sole reserve currency, and Latin America, south-east Asia and Africa emerge as new sources of growth.

But as he surveys the wreckage caused by what the bank and its sister organisation, the International Monetary Fund, agree is the most severe crisis since the devastation caused by the second world war, Robert Zoellick is surprisingly upbeat about the future.

Asked by the Observer how he envisages the global economy in 20 years' time, Zoellick says:

"There will certainly be a larger role for the emerging powers, there will be multipolar sources of growth, there will be more south-south trade between developing countries.

"The crisis gives us the opportunity to hasten this process. If we are concerned about the past reliance for growth on the US consumer, we have to make sure consumers in developing countries have enough finance to buy."

Zoellick says that, while this does not mean the end of the US as a big player on the world stage, it has brought the curtain down on the unipolar world that followed the collapse of communism 20 years ago.

Developing countries were on the rise before the credit crunch and, as the latest snapshot of the global economy released last week illustrates, their position has been strengthened by their ability to keep growing as the west teetered on the brink of a 1930s-style Depression.

"We have reached a tipping point in global economic affairs," says Stephen King, chief economist of HSBC. "While there are some encouraging signs of recovery in the developed world, the real economic action is taking place elsewhere. For both cyclical and structural reasons, the emerging nations are set to dominate world economic activity in the years ahead."

America, Zoellick says, can no longer rely on the dollar ruling the roost. The euro and the Chinese renminbi are candidates to become reserve currencies.

Tellingly, this year's annual meetings of the Bank and Fund take place in Istanbul, the point where Europe meets Asia and for almost two millennia a melting pot for cultures and religions. The view of both Zoellick and Dominique Strauss-Kahn, managing director of the IMF, is that there is a discernible shift in power and influence eastwards.

"These annual meetings take place at a defining moment in global governance," Strauss-Kahn says. "We have experienced unparalleled economic co-operation in the last 12 months. It has never happened in history."

While noting that there is a risk of the consensus vanishing now that the immediate threat of economic meltdown has receded, Strauss-Kahn says it is the will of world leaders to continue collaborating in the years ahead. The days of the G7 – an elite gathering of policymakers from the US, Britain, Japan, Germany, France, Italy and Canada – are over. Power has shifted to the G20, which includes the G7 plus a number of leading developing countries such as China, India, Mexico, Brazil and South Africa.

John Hawksworth, head of macro-economics at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in the UK, says political influence will result from the increased economic clout of the big developing countries. Within two decades, he says, China may have overtaken the US as the world's biggest economy once the lower cost of living is taken into account. "The E7 [Emerging Seven] – China, India, Brazil, Russia, Turkey, Indonesia and Mexico – could be a lot bigger than the current G7," he adds.

PwC estimates that the global economy will double in size by the end of the 2020s to $143tn (£90tn) at today's prices, with the E7 accounting for almost 40% of GDP and the G7 30%.

"The E7 is already not that far behind the G7 and that process has been accelerated by the current crisis, which has hit the developed world harder than the big emerging economies," says Hawksworth.

Like Zoellick, he thinks the dollar will no longer be the dominant currency.

"The dollar, the euro and the renminbi will form a basket of currencies. The world will be different. The recession has accelerated that process."

The IMF and the World Bank are still set in their original mould, he says.

"Voting shares are going to have to change and it will be a gradual process. But it is possible that there will be a Chinese head of the fund or bank by that time."

Such an outcome would symbolise the changing of the guard. There has been a gentlemen's agreement that the head of the World Bank should be chosen by the Americans, the single biggest shareholder in the two institutions, while the managing director of the fund is picked by the Europeans. Zoellick is a former US trade representative; Strauss-Kahn was once France's finance minister.

"There is an inevitability about this [shift in power to Asia]," says Hawksworth. "You can already see it in the business world, as witnessed by the HSBC decision. The centre of economic gravity is shifting and will continue to shift."

Zoellick says the spread of prosperity to the poor parts of Asia, Latin America and Africa will be accelerated by investment in infrastructure, social safety nets and manufacturing...

World Bank and IMF Join Global Attack on the Dollar!

October 4, 2009

Larry Edelson - In my emails to you over the past couple of weeks, I’ve shown you why Washington has no choice but to devalue the dollar — and how global leaders and even the United Nations have joined the attack on the greenback by demanding it be replaced as the world’s reserve currency.

Now, just this week, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank have begun adding their voices to the international choir calling for a new global reserve currency:

Last week, World Bank President Robert Zoellick warned that the dollar’s status will be challenged and shouldn’t be taken for granted.

According to Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan, it’s likely that the role of special drawing rights (SDRs) based on a basket of currencies will be discussed as an alternative to the dollar during meetings of the World Bank and IMF in Istanbul next week.

Meanwhile, global governments, central banks, companies and investors continue to slash their dollar holdings. According to the IMF, in April through June of this year, the greenback’s share of global currency reserves fell to the lowest level in a decade. Holdings of euros, in contrast, rose to a new all-time record high.

All this adds weight and momentum to the devaluation of the dollar. It is DEFINITELY ON THE TABLE.

Indeed, for the first time I can remember, the G-7 finance officials, meeting this weekend, are rumored to be breaking with tradition and choosing not to release a statement on the global economy and currencies. I feel this is an extremely significant development: At last week’s G-20 meeting, the group officially anointed itself as being in charge of global economic affairs.

Plus, we now have the G-7 refusing to discuss the dollar, which is highly unusual. Many will say that, if the G-7 does indeed refuse to comment on the dollar at this weekend’s meeting, it’s merely a sign they’re beginning to turn the reigns over to the G-20 for currency matters.

Baloney! The G-7 WILL discuss the huge “global economic imbalances” in the world. And to me, that’s code talk for a currency devaluation on the agenda. Members of the G-7 ARE discussing it. They’re just NOT doing it in public.

It reminds me of the 1985 Plaza Accord, where James Baker committed the U.S. to a depreciating dollar, bulldozing over our creditors, and ultimately precipitating the ‘87 crash.

The difference: Back then the U.S. was in a position to lead the devaluation. Today, it’s not. Today, our creditors are going to bulldoze over us.
