What is “Sustainable Development?”

“Sustainable Development” is the U.N. Agenda 21 (Plan For The 21st Century). At its foundation it is the U.N. plan to manage and control ALL human activity under Marxist/Socialist principles. The Re-distribution of wealth is a built in feature of the program, and “Social Justice,” which is a key phrase. Look a little deeper into Fishery Management Policies, and the term “Environmental Justice” gets added to the list of catch phrases that sounds great to an un-educated public.

In practicality, it is a direct economic attack on the United States.

Maurice Strong and Agenda 21

Canadian billionaire Maurice Strong was the Chairman of the 1992 U.N. Earth Summit in Rio, where Agenda 21 was first introduced. He made the intent clear when he was quoted saying that it was their responsibility to bring about the collapse of the industrialized countries. Here is a list of issues directly affected by a worldwide, global iniative that – at its heart – wants to dismantle our Nation. The United States is the target, and we sincerely hope you spend a little time to research each of the items we present here:

The Agenda in Action:

• It has been incorporated into federal policy with a series of Executive Orders starting with #12982 in 1994, and continuing this year with more creating the Rural and Ocean Council’s.

• It is the primary reason that we can’t meet our energy needs with production from our vast natural resources whether it be petroleum, coal, or timber.

• It is the reason that the vital Keystone Pipeline Project is being opposed.

• It is the reason we export almost a trillion dollars annually buying imported oil when we have proven reserves totaling more than all the mid-east countries combined.

• It is the reason American’s are exhorted to cut back energy use to the 1990′s levels, further crippling the economy while China and other countries are exempt. This is all based on a fraudulent premise put forth by the U.N. IPCC.

• It is the reason that over 600 local governments in the U.S. are due paying members of ICLEI, which directs the local implementation of Agenda 21 and other U.N. policies that Congress never approved. (see: ICLEI.org)

• It is the reason that the Secretary of Transportation announced that promoting motorized transportation is no longer their priority.

• It is the reason that our seafood production is severely restricted with only limited access allowed to abundant marine resources.

• It is the reason that some of the most productive areas of the oceans around the coast are being closed off in “Marine Protected Areas.”

• It is the reason that NOAA Director, Dr. Jane Lubchenco has made implementing the Agenda 21, Catch Share allocation system in every American fishery a top priority. In New England and Florida the results are American fishermen out of work, and the Governor of Massachusetts declaring an economic disaster with a request for $21 million in federal aid.

Doctor Jane Lubchenco

Doctor Jane Lubchenco was one of our president's first postings in his administration. She happily left a position as a Board Member of the Environmental Defense Fund for a much lower-paying job as Director of NOAA. In its position within the Commerce Department, what better place to control the fisheries?

Dr. Lubchenco’s response was asking for $54 million in additional funds to expand the program.

• It is a primary reason that we import 84% of our seafood and export (re-distribute) nearly $11 billion to foreign countries like China and Vietnam in a seafood trade deficit.

• It is the reason that our manufacturing base has been moved to foreign countries starting with NAFTA which had the goal of “promoting Sustainable Development.”

• It is the reason that the Federal, State, and Local Governments have been buying land in an effort to create the “system of protected areas,” called for in the un-ratified U.N. Agenda 21 treaty.

• It is the reason the U.S. Senate refused to even vote on the treaty when maps of The Wildlands Project were displayed on the floor of the Senate. The stated goal is 50% of the land in Core Wilderness areas with little or no human use to be interconnected with Wildlife Corridors surrounded with Buffer Zones.

• It is the reason that Volusia County ( Florida now owns approximately 40% of the land ) is creating a “Conservation Corridor.”

When you put it all together it is a primary reason for the collapse of the American economy just as U.N. official Maurice Strong wanted in 1993 when it all started.

Fighting Back

It doesn't matter if you're a recreational angler that fishes when you can (and not as much as you would like) or a vertical commercial (you will know what we mean if you are one), we're all in this battle together. The recreational angler is quickly being taught that the problem to be “fixed” with the power of the Federal Government is being caused by un-controlled commercial fishermen and women. You will be hearing more in coming months about how we commercial anglers will fight alongside the recreational community to protect – and take back – our God-given Rights to fish our waters. We're the conservationists.
