CONCLUSION

What can we learn from Agenda 21 resistance activities over the last few years? A few important lessons stand out. First, most of those touting “sustainability” and “smart growth” plans have no idea as to the source of those concepts. Educating local politicians is not about “indoctrinating” them to a specific ideology, it's about ensuring that they truly understand the origins and long-term goals of the things they are supporting.

The second lesson is that, regardless of education, intelligence, or how well the arguments are presented, those who are willing to stand up will be treated as part of the “tin foil hat” club. The very nature of propaganda campaigns is to demonize foes as ignorant fools—and this one is no different.

Next, it's clear that resistance is not futile. In fact, it's just the opposite—real progress has been made by ordinary people who are willing to educate themselves and their neighbors. The nice part about a plan that requires implementation locally to succeed is that it can also be fought locally. This is not about calling your senator or signing a White House petition, it's about attending committee meetings at your town hall, or having coffee with your mayor.

Finally, remember that, in the minds of the UN and other Agenda 21 supporters, this is a battle for nothing less than control over the future of humanity. They will not give up on that easily—and neither should we.
