U.N. Agenda 21 calls for governments to take control of all land use and decision-making power from private property owners. It is assumed that people are not good stewards of their land and the government will do a better job if in control.
Individual rights in general are to give way to the needs of communities as determined by the governing body. Moreover, it is proposed that people be resettled into islands of human habitation, close to employment centers and transportation. Another program, called the Wildlands Project spells out how most of the land is to be set aside for non-humans.
U.N. Agenda 21 cites the affluence of Americans as being a major problem which needs to be corrected. It calls for lowering the standard of living for Americans so that the people in poorer countries will have more…i.e. redistribution of wealth. Although people around the world aspire to achieve the levels of prosperity we have in the United States and will risk their lives to get here, Americans are cast in a very negative light and need to be taken down to a condition closer to average in the world. Only then, proponents say, will there be Social Justice, a cornerstone of the U.N. Agenda 21 plan.
