Agenda 21 Revealed

The revelations on Agenda 21 have come from many directions. Here are three instances...
——————————————————————————————————————————
1. Larry Bell is a columnist for Forbes magazine and recently wrote a blunt critique of Agenda 21. (Prof. Bell is an architecture professor at the University of Houston and recently published a book on the flaws of the global warming trend. He will be a speaker July 29 at the weekly friday lunch of the Houston Property Rights Association. For details send me a message.): http://blogs.forbes.com/larrybell/2011/06/14/the-u-n-s-earth-summit-has-its-head-in-the-clouds/

A quote: "Realizing difficulties in getting some national governments – the U.S. in particular – to enact massive regulatory control over virtually all aspects of energy production and consumption, UNCED leaders launched a campaign to advance the same agenda through state and local initiatives. Since Agenda 21 was a “soft-law” policy recommendation, (not a treaty) it required no U.S. congressional authorization. President Clinton established a President’s council in 1993 on Sustainable Development by Executive Order for the specific purpose of implementing it in the U.S."

Prof. Bell's background: I am a professor and endowed professor at the University of Houston where I founded and direct the Sasakawa International Center for Space Architecture and head the graduate program in space architecture. My background deals extensively with research, planning and design of habitats, structures and other support systems for applications in space and extreme environments on Earth. I have recently written a new book titled "Climate of Corruption: Politics and Power Behind the Global Warming Hoax". It can be previewed and ordered at www.climateofcorruption.com. Additional information about my book and views can be found on my YouTube address:http://www.youtube.com/climateofcorruption.

2. The World Bank attacks Sustainable Development (SD), a policy goal at the heart of Agenda 21 thinking.
It is nice to see one government funded international group confront the flawed thinking of another such group by raising questions that expose the vapid thinking in the assumptions that drive the Sustainable Development fad...

The documents linked to below are designed to help school children think through the assumptions that underlie the drivel of the sustainable development program which predates Agenda 21.......http://www.worldbank.org/depweb/english/sd.html.

Lastly...This report by Mother Jones, a left wing publication, is helpful as it summarizes the anti-Agenda 21 movement:
http://motherjones.com/print/87576

The writer reveals a smugness about urban matters and shows her ignorance of the negative outcomes in cities that are converting bus-only systems to bus and rail, as partly admitted by the Federal Transit Administration in a speech by FTA head Administrator Peter Rogoff. This is a 2010 video of Rogoff's speech and his speech notes: http://www.fta.dot.gov/news/speeches/news_events_11682.html. (In Texas The Houston transit program has been losing ridership for several years and Dallas light rail is sufferimg severe ridrship losses.)
