UN's "Post-2015 Development Agenda" Morphed from "Agenda 21"

The hurried Chinese customer was angry and raising her voice. She was demanding in broken

English why the girl behind the cosmetics counter could not understand her long shopping list

written in Chinese. “You learn Chinese if you to survive,” she said. The girl’s eyes were brimming

with tears at the abusive and rude treatment.

I walked away, upset at the unnecessary verbal dress-down. Was the Chinese lady a tourist or an

employee of the 247 plus Chinese free trade zones that have sprung up around the country? I am

not sure which is going to be worse, being under the boot of communist China who is buying more

and more of our debt, land, buildings, military equipment, food producers such as Smithfield

Foods, GM (dubbed “General Tso’s Motors”), the ideology of Islam, or United Nation’s global

governance? All spell potential trouble for what is left of our freedom.

On May 30, 2013 a letter was sent to the Secretary-General of the United Nation, signed by the

Presidents of Indonesia, Liberia, and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Cameron.

This letter was informing Ban Ki-moon, the Secretary-General that the task he assigned to a panel

of twenty-seven individuals has been completed, and the report published.

The distinguished panelists represented Indonesia, Liberia, UK, USA, Cuba, Benin, India, Sweden,

Mexico, Colombia, Japan, Yemen, Republic of Korea, Germany, Mozambique, Kenya, Russian

Federation, Nigeria, Latvia, Timor, Netherlands, Jordan, France, Brazil, Turkey, and China.

Representing the United States was John Podesta, chair of the Center for American Progress and

of the Center for American Progress Action Fund, advocates for progressive policy.

Organizations and 250 chief executive officers of major corporations. A complete list can be found

at www.post2015hlp.org. The main goal of this new agenda is to end poverty through sustainable

development in one generation, by 2030 to be exact.

Sustainable development as the United Nations envisions it includes development ofgood

governance as they see it, rule of law, free speech, open and accountable government. Sounds

lofty, however, should governments be accountable to the United Nations?

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of 13 years ago did not include the economic, social,

and environmental aspects of sustainable development—it did not promote sustainable patterns of

consumption and production and left out guidelines for consumption and production. Most

importantly, climate change was not addressed. Substituting global warming for climate change

might pass the scrutiny.

The UN report says on page 5, “Scientific evidence of the direct threat from climate change has

mounted.” There is no such scientific evidence. On the contrary, U.N.‘s Intergovernmental Panel on

Climate Change (IPCC), the main purveyor of global warming/climate change said, “There is

insufficient evidence to determine whether trends existed in small-scale phenomena such as

tornadoes and hail.” National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said,‚Ķa

discernible trend was not present over the past 30 years, and that, unless new findings suggest

otherwise,‚Ķ a claim to attribution (to human impacts) is thus problematic.” (Preliminary

Assessment of Climate Factors Contributing to the Extreme 2011 Tornadoes, July 8, 2011)

The Congressional Report Service released a 26-page report on May 22, 2013, “Severe

Thunderstorms and Tornadoes in the United States.” Peter Folger, Specialist in Energy and Natural

Resources Policy, said, “It is not clear whether changes to climate over the past half-century have

increased the frequency or intensity of thunderstorms and tornadoes, or whether climate changes

were responsible for the intense and destructive tornado activity in 2011, or for the extremely

destructive EF-5 tornado that struck Moore, Oklahoma, on May 20, 2013.”

Damages seem to be increasing, similar to trends for other natural disasters in part due to

changing populations, demographics, weather-sensitive infrastructure, and better and faster

reporting. The Weather Channel lists the top 10 deadliest tornadoes, some of which have occurred

long before the industrial revolution.

The UN’s “Post-2015 Development Agenda” report continues, “The stresses of unsustainable

production and consumption patterns have become clear, in areas likedeforestation, water scarcity,

food waste, and high carbon emissions. Losses from natural disasters—including drought, floods,

and storms—have increased at an alarming rate.” Because the UN bureaucrats know better, here is

what they have proposed, following conferences in New York, London, Monrovia, and Bali.

In New York, they have discussed social justice, better accountability, variables of poverty, and end

to violence against women. The fact that women are treated like chattel and second class citizens

in some cultures was not an issue. In Monrovia, they talked about economic transformation, social

inclusion, and business for sustainable development.

In Bali, they agreed on a “global partnership for a people-centered and planet-sensitive agenda,

based on the principle of common humanity” by regulating global financial and commodity

markets and by managing the world’s consumption and production patterns in more sustainable

and equitable ways.” I translate this as re-distribution of wealth in the name of saving mother Earth,

from “evil” capitalists to third world nations by telling us what to consume, what to produce, what

to sell, how much, and where. Capitalism is “evil” and global communism must reign supreme with

the United Nations at the helm because unelected foreign bureaucrats know better.

The entire 69-page document can be found in English at the following link One World, One

Sustainable Development Agenda, Building Consensus, and Our Vision are touted in the paper. I

have no idea who empowered the UN to fundamentally transform our sovereign way of life. Take for

example the background research paper, “Sustainable Development and Planetary Boundaries”

submitted to Ban Ki-moon in support of the Post-2015 Agenda report.

Global environmental constraints for every country must include the concepts of “carrying

capacity,” “sustainable consumption and production,” “guardrails,” “tipping points,” “footprints,”

“safe operating space,” and “planetary boundaries.” This paper states, “For the first time we are

seeing evidence of human-induced changes on how the Earth system operates—from accelerated

melting of ice sheets to shifts in rainfall patterns and the undermining of ecosystems and

biodiversity.” There is no such definitive evidence tied to human existence, just environmentalist

talking points.

The authors have determined that planetary boundaries for economic growth involve the rich

countries “substantially reduce their standard of living, and developing countries can grow until

they converge at the lower income of high-income countries. At that point economic growth would

need to stop‚Ķ. The rich world is lucky to have a reached a high level of income first.” I personally

do not call it luck; I call it hard work and entrepreneurship in a free society. Another

recommendation was to switch the entire global economy to low-carbon economy, citing the

scaremongering and unproven 2012 World Bank data that “the world will likely experience

a likely 3-5 degree C increase in temperatures by the end of this century that would expose all

countries to catastrophic climate change, including sea level rise, ocean acidification, extreme

storms, droughts, floods, crops failures, and the collapse of whole ecosystems.”

Five primary goals are listed in the Executive Summary of the Post-2015 Agenda. “We outline five

transformational shifts, applicable to both developed and developing countries alike, including a

new Global Partnership as the basis for a single, universal post-2015 agenda that will deliver this

vision for the sake of humanity.” This universal agenda (their emphasis) must be driven by: 

1. Leave no one behind

2. Put sustainable development at the core.

3. Transform economies for jobs and inclusive growth.

4. Build peace and effective, open and accountable institutions for all.

5. Forge a new global partnership.

United Nations wants to ensure that “everyone must accept their proper share of responsibility” for

the ending of poverty. To reach this goal, UN wants to “track progress at all levels of income.”

Nobody can be denied “universal human rights and basic economic opportunities, regardless of

ethnicity, gender, geography, disability, race, or other status.” Uncle UN is going to make sure that

our wealth is evenly distributed across the planet in its global communism vision.

Developed countries have to adopt “social inclusion” and must reduce “unsustainable

consumption” by switching to a green economy and by eradicating poverty for eight billion people

by 2030 if the planet is to survive the alarming pace of climate change. Climate has been changing

for eons but our brainwashed youth have developed now into the low information adult voters who

believe the scaremongering tactics of gloom and doom.

The developed world must reduce their consumption and must build “diversified economies, with

equal opportunities for all.” In this utopian view, it is our responsibility that “everyone has what

they need to grow and prosper, including access to quality education and skills, healthcare, clean

water, electricity, telecommunications, and transport.” We must rapidly urbanize because “cities

are the world’s engines for business and innovation.” I wonder how the UN plans to feed 8 billion

people living in high density urban areas. Who is going to grow food?

Peace and good governance is a fundamental human right provided through a “transparency

revolution.” Where is this governance coming from? Who decides what a transparency revolution

is? Who decided that peace and good governance are human rights?

Giving North to South aid is no longer enough—everyone must be fully accountable to Uncle UN for

“corruption, illicit financial flows, money laundering, tax evasion, and hidden ownership of assets.”

I guess there will be no more off-shore or Swiss Bank accounts for well-off “citizens of the world.”

Trade must be fair, technology must be “transferred and diffused,” and financial stability must

reign supreme. Who will police compliance and how will non-compliance be punished? Would

technology development occur if it must be “shared” for free?

Multinational corporations must pay taxes fairly to the countries in which they operate. The

financial system must be heavily regulated. This Post-2015 Agenda is counting on the world’s

savings of $18 trillion. “Finance will come not just from aid but private capital, major pension

funds, mutual funds, sovereign wealth funds, private corporations, development banks, and other

investors.” (p. 12)

The five goals will be considered achieved for “all relevant income and social groups” after a

“rigorous monitoring system.” Who is going to be in charge of this monitoring system and who will

conduct it?

This entire UN report, “The Post-2015 Development Agenda” is still UN Agenda 21’s Sustainable

Development morphed from old into new, revamped talking points of arresting economic growth,

re-distribution of wealth, and de-developing the United States, the one stumbling block in the path

of UN’s global communist governance.

The tiresome talking points are still based on debunked man-made global warming caused by

greenhouse gas emissions. If EU flatulence tax did not work, perhaps Mark Steyn’s suggestion

would work that scientists should genetically engineer non-flatulent cows. The methane gas

problem would be solved and ergo, the planet would survive.

I don’t want to burst anybody’s transformational bubble, however, having lived under both socialist

and capitalist economies, and under freedom of speech vs. communist tyranny, I would choose

capitalism (not the crony variety) any day.
