Following in the footsteps of officials in other (http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/environment/item/11592-alabama-adopts-first-official-state-ban-on-un-agenda-21) states (http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/environment/item/15344-missouri-legislature-bans-un-agenda-21), lawmakers in Texas introduced legislation that would prohibit some state and local government participation in the deeply controversial United Nations “sustainability (http://www.thenewamerican.com/rio-20/item/12008-the-real-agenda-behind-un-%E2%80%9Csustainability%E2%80%9D-unmasked)” scheme known as Agenda 21 (http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/environment/item/6945-what-are-the-uns-agenda-21-and-iclei). With bills targeting the UN program introduced in both houses of the legislature and outrage about Agenda 21 still growing across Texas and the nation, activists and lawmakers are hopeful that the state will succeed in protecting property rights, self-government, and economic freedom from the Obama administration-backed UN scheme. However, elements of the establishment media and UN-loving forces in Texas and beyond have already made clear that they intend to fight back.
The anti-Agenda 21 legislation (http://www.legis.state.tx.us/tlodocs/84R/billtext/html/SB00445I.htm), filed last week by Republican State Representative Molly White in the House and GOP State Senator Bob Hall in the Senate as S.B. 445, take aim at state and local government funding to UN-linked organizations involved in imposing the planetary scheme. “A governmental entity may not enter into an agreement or contract with, accept money from, or grant money or other financial aid to a nongovernmental or intergovernmental organization accredited by the United Nations to implement a policy that originated in the Agenda 21 plan adopted by members of the United Nations at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in June 1992,” the bill explains.
While the legislation is not nearly as strong as Alabama’s ban on Agenda 21 (http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/environment/item/11592-alabama-adopts-first-official-state-ban-on-un-agenda-21), supporters of the measure in Texas say it is a good start at the very least. If signed into law by popular Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a strong proponent of sovereignty (http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/13415-obama-backs-un-linked-election-monitors-but-texas-stands-firm), the measure would, among other points, restrict state and local officials’ funding or implementation of the UN scheme in the state. Sen. Hall, who introduced the Senate bill, said it targets “city organizations and cities that are adapting the UN programs.” Rep. White, meanwhile, sponsor of the legislation in the House, was quoted as saying that the measure would protect Texas and Texans from the “global agenda” propagated by “a handful of unelected, unaccountable people.”
Indeed, the UN’s Agenda 21 does represent a global agenda, and it is being advanced mostly by unelected and unaccountable forces — primarily from the shadows under misleading names, for now. First adopted at a UN “sustainability” summit in Brazil more than 20 years ago, the far-reaching agenda was described on the dictator-dominated global body’s website as “a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts [sic] on the environment.” To understand the scope of such an agenda, consider that the UN considers carbon dioxide — a gas exhaled by human beings and required by plants — to be a “pollutant” in need of regulation and taxes because it allegedly harms the environment. Indeed, literally every human activity has some impact on the environment
