Editor,
In these columns, over the last few weeks, there has been a continuing debate as to the intent of ICLEI and its association with the U.N. Agenda 21. One side has provided information that is substantiated in fact, while the other side has stated personal opinions devoid of any reference to reliable sources.
This is an issue to which my fellow citizens should be paying close attention, as it will affect their lives and the lives of their descendants for generations to come.
Anyone with a computer, Internet access, a little Internet savvy and a modicum of intellectual curiosity can quickly discover what ICLEI and Agenda 21 are about and make their own decision as to whether they are in favor of the future that these organizations are pushing for all Americans.
Two of their visions, and these can be easily verified, are that a minimum 50 percent of all property in the U.S of A. will have no human habitation or human usage at all.
Another of their goals is the end of ownership of all private property with all property being owned by the state (and I am not referring to the state of Montana).
Unfortunately, I feel that most of my fellow citizens are like baby birds.
Baby birds wait patiently for their parents to return home to regurgitate food for them to eat.
In the same manner our citizenry, for the most part, wait for the talking heads of the media to feed them what they “should” know.
The media regurgitates information in a manner not meant to stimulate citizens to think, but instead to get citizens simply to memorize what they want citizens to know and accept.
Unfortunately the normalcy bias is at play here, with very few realizing what is happening and most seeming not to care.
People are too busy with all of the chaos they are exposed to from the media and are so distracted that they are unable to do any critical analyses or research of their own.
No society, in which people have experienced the freedoms which we have, has continued to flourish when the people in that society have become complacent and intellectually lazy.
Our society is not immune to the forces which have ravaged and destroyed every society in the history of mankind. Our life, with the freedoms we have come to enjoy and take for granted, is well on its way out.
Now go back to sleep, all of you Rip Van Winkles.
