USDA / UN / Forest Service / US 'compliance' and 'reporting' to the UN - straight from the horse's mouth

posted 1/4/04

(Note: Please bookmark the websites given below and spend some serious time at them. Please also share them with anyone that has not yet accepted this 'connecting the dots' that prove how deeply America's 'government,' once a Republic, has sold its soul to those that hold the financial reins and are now controlling the collateral on those loans: the power behind the United Nations. It is difficult to scoff at or deny facts when they are presented by the government agencies and the government itself, obediently following the new master and bootlicking without shame.)

Are you interested in a Internet resource page offering information that explains the United States implementation of the United Nations agenda in this country, dealing primarily with the United States Department of Agriculture?

The following government website is recommended:

http://www.fs.fed.us/sustained/siteindex.html

The title of the page, "Sustainable Resource Management," with the US Forest Service logo just to the left is most applicable.

The page, alphabetically arranged, begins with the letter A.

Beginning with "Agenda 21, June 1992."

Click on the link and a United Nations web page displays the cover of "Earth Summit/Agenda 21" on the right.

On the left-hand column scroll down until you highlight "National Information" - click once with the left mouse button and another United Nations page appears with an index for every country that has committed to the implementation of the UN program.

The index is found on the right side of the page. Look for "Choose a Country from the list below:" - click on the down arrow until the United States appears and is highlighted "BLUE," then click "retrieve data."

The next page lists "Social," "Economic," and "Environmental," the three aspects of "Sustainable Development" and "Indicators," which demonstrate our society's movement toward meeting the UN agenda.

Under "Social" you may choose one of several subjects - for instance, click on "Health" and read the legislation enacted to comply with the agenda.

Click on "Human Settlements" and read interesting statements about how "Local governments are also developing or revising regulations that determine where new buildings can be constructed, and how many people they may shelter."

This is the second report, submitted to the United Nations by the United States in 2002.

The first report, submitted in 1997, is also available from the index page.

The format is slightly different, displaying the US compliance for each of the forty chapters of "Agenda 21."

Many interesting, government-sponsored documents are listed along the "alphabet road" to "sustainable development."

Under the letter S you may click on "SAF Sustainable Project Document, June 14, 2001," and read the statement by Phil Janik -- Chief Operating Officer for the USDA Forest Service -- that "The Forest Service's (FS) commitment and approach to forest sustainability is based upon the international and domestic dialogue about sustainable development that has been underway for over 20 years."

Also read about how "In 1992, at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro (also known as the Earth Summit), forests were identified as a key component of sustainable development worldwide.

Then in 1995, ten countries -- including the United States (US) -- endorsed the Montreal Process Criteria and Indicators for the Conservation and Sustainable Management of Temperate and Boreal Forests (C&I) via the Santiago Declaration."

Chief Janik connects private land use in the following quote: "We believe success depends on making connections across disciplines, interests, agency functions and units, public and private sector responsibilities, and ownership and jurisdictional boundaries to address issues across the landscape."

Under the letter U is a favorite link: "USDA Sustainable Development."

It takes the reader to the United States Department of Agriculture website http://www.usda.gov/sustainable where you can see the USDA and United Nations World Summit on Sustainable Development logo proudly presented.

The site contains the USDA's directive 9500-6: "USDA Policy Statement on Sustainable Development." Section 4c Responsibilities of USDA Officials states that:

"The philosophy, concepts and principles of sustainable development, involving the balancing of environmental quality, economic development, and the vitality of rural communities, shall be incorporated, as appropriate, into all appropriate Department regulations, policies, and programs, including strategic planning documents, work plans, and performance appraisals. Each agency head shall implement the programs for which the agency head is responsible in ways that are consistent with this policy on sustainable development. Activities involving more than one agency shall be coordinated through the USDA Council on Sustainable Development and the Department's Director of Sustainable Development."

Noah Webster states in his 1828 "American Dictionary" that "philosophy is a general term denoting an explanation of the reasons of things; or an investigation of the causes of all phenomena both of mind and of matter. When applied to any particular department of knowledge, it denotes the collection of general laws or principles under which all the subordinate phenomena or facts relating to that subject, are comprehended". He further states: "The objects of philosophy are to ascertain facts or truth, and the causes of things or their phenomena; to enlarge our views of God and his works, and to render our knowledge of both practically useful and subservient to human happiness."

Reading the information associated with the USDA's website does not bring to mind God and inalienable rights - rather it calls to mind rights that have been lost to a monster government of our own making.
