Here is the full quote from Lawrence:
Lawrence is not admitting to a conspiracy in that quote. Taken in context, he's saying that conspiracy minded people will resist a UN initiative simply because it comes from the UN and not on the nature of the plan itself. His prediction is correct. It seems the situation is now at the point where some people, like tea-baggers and other fringe groups, will claim that any conservation effort is an agenda 21 initiative to steal their land. They will draw tenuous connections between environmentalists, "globalists" and communism to convey that point. I've even read some people claim that cycling enthusiasts are the front line shock troops spearheading a fascists environmentalist agenda.External Quote:Participating in a UN advocated planning process would very likely bring out many of the conspiracy-fixated groups and individuals in our society such as the National Rifle Association, citizen militias and some members of Congress. 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 processes something else, such as comprehensive planning, growth management or smart growth.
I empathize with people concerned about losing control of their affairs to meddlesome outsiders. I can't find any compelling evidence that corroborates the extraordinary claims that these meddlesome outsiders are part of a long term global conspiracy. I certainly find using unsubstantiated fear-mongering a distasteful means of promoting any cause.
Here is the website of the Agenda 21 document. I can't find anything about preventing people from owning private property.
Here is the website of the Aransas Pathway Project. I have not found any evidence of bans on private property ownership or plans to expropriate land. The pathway project is preserving historical homes, promoting bird watching and building giant 25 ft. statues of blue crabs.
Which specific past, current or future plans of the Aransas Pathway Project do you object to, and why do you object to them?
Lawrence's last sentence says it all. Going over the most recent UN's articles, city agendas or whoevers, Agenda 21 is rarely mentioned. Its barely mentioned in the mainsteam media. Meddlesome & then some. For starters Bush sr promised our participation at the Rio Summit in 1992. Thanks George. Bill did EO 12852 for Sustainable Development to be implemented down to all levels of govt. Congress didn't make it law. It is a foreign entity that is contrary to our Constitutional Rights...land. The way they are going about it. They plan on returning over 50% of the US back to the wilderness & then theres the buffer zones. The Wilderness Network map shows my area where I live in red which means no human activity. There are dozens of UN documents like the Global Biodiversity Assessment Report 1150 pages. Ag 21 isn't the only document.
This is what the UN states:
Land, because of its unique nature and the crucial role it plays in human settlements, 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 and therefore contributes to SOCIAL INJUSTICE; if unchecked, it may become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation of development schemes. SOCIAL JUSTICE, urban renewal and development, the provision of decent dwellings-and healthy conditions for the people can only be ACHIEVED if LAND is USED in the INTERESTS of SOCIETY as a WHOLE.-----UN
Santa Cruz county implemented Ag 21 in 1993 & I've read some of the horror stories. There are also Ripparian Corridors where on your private property you're suppose to stop maintaining your land but will continue to pay taxes. Its just starting here. read about santa Cruz county.

Have you watched the Rosa Koire video, please do? What she says on that video about city services going downhill is happening in Rockport.
Objections to AP? Because it is a foreign entity agenda being pushed on us. It will be attacking my property rights. It will wind up abusing Eminemt Domain rights.My property tax money is going to a foreign entity. The city of Rockport just bought land for AP for 115,000 but now they have a deficit. I have tallying up the totals & its adding up to a bunch. now they're trying to figure out how to come up with 1/2 of 6 million to dredge up some water pass. I haven't seen any road maintainance except right on the waterfront. Of course it sounds like a grreat ides except it should be done on a smaller scale but its not. Before I found out about AP I was thinking of doing botanical gardens with some trails on my property. On their trails between April to October virtually nobody is gonna be cycling cause they'll croak from the heat. I know what the whole idea is about.

The area where I live is red. No human use.
