Central Planning Goes Global As UN Unveils Major Sustainable Development Agenda "For The Good Of The Planet"
Submitted by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,
The UN plans to launch a brand new plan for managing the entire globe at the Sustainable Development Summit that it will be hosting from September 25th to September 27th. Some of the biggest names on the planet, including Pope Francis, will be speaking at this summit. This new sustainable agenda focuses on climate change of course, but it also specifically addresses topics such as economics, agriculture, education and gender equality. For those wishing to expand the scope of “global governance”, sustainable development is the perfect umbrella because just about all human activity affects the environment in some way. The phrase “for the good of the planet” can be used as an excuse to micromanage virtually every aspect of our lives.
So for those that are concerned about the growing power of the United Nations, this summit in September is something to keep an eye on. Never before have I seen such an effort to promote a UN summit on the environment, and this new sustainable development agenda is literally a framework for managing the entire globe.
If you are not familiar with this new sustainable development agenda, the following is what the official United Nations website says about it…
The United Nations is now in the process of defining Sustainable Development Goals as part a new sustainable development agenda that must finish the job and leave no one behind. This agenda, to be launched at the Sustainable Development Summit in September 2015, is currently being discussed at the UN General Assembly, where Member States and civil society are making contributions to the agenda.
The process of arriving at the post 2015 development agenda is Member State-led with broad participation from Major Groups and other civil society stakeholders. There have been numerous inputs to the agenda, notably a set of Sustainable Development Goals proposed by an open working group of the General Assembly, the report of an intergovernmental committee of experts on sustainable development financing, General Assembly dialogues on technology facilitation and many others.
Posted below are the 17 sustainable development goals that are being proposed so far. Some of them seem quite reasonable. After all, who wouldn’t want to “end poverty”. But as you go down this list, you soon come to realize that just about everything is involved in some way. In other words, this truly is a template for radically expanded “global governance”. Once again, this was taken directly from the official UN website…
1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere
2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture
3. Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages
4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
6. Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all
9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialisation, and foster innovation
10. Reduce inequality within and among countries
11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts (taking note of agreements made by the UNFCCC forum)
14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification and halt and reverse land degradation, and halt biodiversity loss
16. Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels
17. Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalise the global partnership for sustainable development
As you can see, this list goes far beyond “saving the environment” or “fighting climate change”.
It truly covers just about every realm of human activity.
Another thing that makes this new sustainable development agenda different is the unprecedented support that it is getting from the Vatican and from Pope Francis himself.
In fact, Pope Francis is actually going to travel to the UN and give an address to kick off the Sustainable Development Summit on September 25th…
His Holiness Pope Francis will visit the UN on 25 September 2015, and give an address to the UN General Assembly immediately ahead of the official opening of the UN Summit for the adoption of the post-2015 development agenda.
This Pope has been very open about his belief that climate change is one of the greatest dangers currently facing our world. Just a couple of weeks ago, he actually brought UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to the Vatican to speak about climate change and sustainable development. Here is a summary of what happened…
On 28 April, the Secretary-General met with His Holiness Pope Francis at the Vatican and later addressed senior religious leaders, along with the Presidents of Italy and Ecuador, Nobel laureates and leading scientists on climate change and sustainable development.
Amidst an unusually heavy rainstorm in Rome, participants at the historic meeting gathered within the ancient Vatican compound to discuss what the Secretary-General has called the “defining challenge of our time.”
The mere fact that a meeting took place between the religious and scientific communities on climate change was itself newsworthy. That it took place at the Vatican, was hosted by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, and featured the Secretary-General as the keynote speaker was all the more striking.
In addition, Pope Francis is scheduled to release a major encyclical this summer which will be primarily focused on the environment and climate change. The following comes from the New York Times…
The much-anticipated environmental encyclical that Pope Francis plans to issue this summer is already being translated into the world’s major languages from the Latin final draft, so there’s no more tweaking to be done, several people close to the process have told me in recent weeks.
I think that we can get a good idea of the kind of language that we will see in this encyclical from another Vatican document which was recently released. It is entitled “Climate Change and The Common Good”, and it was produced by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences. The following is a brief excerpt…
Unsustainable consumption coupled with a record human population and the uses of inappropriate technologies are causally linked with the destruction of the world’s sustainability and resilience. Widening inequalities of wealth and income, the world-wide disruption of the physical climate system and the loss of millions of species that sustain life are the grossest manifestations of unsustainability. The continued extraction of coal, oil and gas following the “business-as-usual mode” will soon create grave existential risks for the poorest three billion, and for generations yet unborn. Climate change resulting largely from unsustainable consumption by about 15% of the world’s population has become a dominant moral and ethical issue for society. There is still time to mitigate unmanageable climate changes and repair ecosystem damages, provided we reorient our attitude toward nature and, thereby, toward ourselves. Climate change is a global problem whose solution will depend on our stepping beyond national affiliations and coming together for the common good. Such transformational changes in attitudes would help foster the necessary institutional reforms and technological innovations for providing the energy sources that have negligible effect on global climate, atmospheric pollution and eco-systems, thus protecting generations yet to be born. Religious institutions can and should take the lead in bringing about that change in attitude towards Creation.
The Catholic Church, working with the leadership of other religions, can now take a decisive role by mobilizing public opinion and public funds to meet the energy needs of the poorest 3 billion people, thus allowing them to prepare for the challenges of unavoidable climate and eco-system changes. Such a bold and humanitarian action by the world’s religions acting in unison is certain to catalyze a public debate over how we can integrate societal choices, as prioritized under UN’s sustainable development goals, into sustainable economic development pathways for the 21st century, with projected population of 10 billion or more.
Under this Pope, the Vatican has become much more political than it was before, and sustainable development has become the Vatican’s number one political issue.
And did you notice the language about “the world’s religions acting in unison”? Clearly, the Vatican believes that it has the power to mobilize religious leaders all over the planet and have them work together to achieve the “UN’s sustainable development goals”.
I can never remember a time when the United Nations and the largest religious institution on the planet, the Catholic Church, have worked together so closely.
So what will the end result of all this be?
Should we be concerned about this new sustainable development agenda?

"Quit wasting your time on that zero hedge site. It's for the good of the planet."
Let's see... Why not start with a FREE CORZINE initiative... Oh wait!
Hmm, seems this summit coincides with the end of the prophesied Shemitah... We live in very interesting and frightening times...
Sure, we'll have the old "We're shooting your ass for the good of the planet" type of response.
I think shooting a helluva lot of politicians would make the planet a whole lot better.
A pod for every family. If you don't have a family, one will be chosen for you.
Seems like that was a wish list of feel good stuff to designed to placate, calm, etc. Yet many things listed would take extra funding but funding is not the right word here. What they would really take are extra resources. But it seems like resources are currently mostly fully spoken for with none extra to spare. Has Greece or Haiti gotten much of the way of extra resources?
Underfunded pensions seems to indicate a high probability of failure on this one : Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages
I linked this article in my latest blog, thanks for reading / sharing....
http://galeinnes.blogspot.com/2015/05/digital-life.html
Almost everything in the main articles wish list would cost extra and be over and above current outlays, with budgets already maxed out and over the top.
Reminds me of "a kindler gentler nation" and "one thousand points of light". How did that work out for yall?
This wish list could become a plank at the Republican convention!

If the cheesepope is going to be there, it's not sustainable, these people are in denial, there will be false profits, do not believe in them.
disclosure?
Any one that feels that the proposal benefits any one other than the proposers needs to form in the line under the STU-- PID sign.
Previous good example: Al Gore and his climate reforms.
Behind most great fortunes is a crime. Claw it back. http://investmentwatchblog.com/the-worlds-superrich-have-hidden-between-...
Regarding this proposal - FAIL. We are better off with a distributed economy where incentive is at the local level and regulation is to only protect the commons for example a water aquifer that flows beneath all of our land. Don't pollute it or pump it all out nestle bottled water style.
The answer is geonomics and zero rate monetary reform.

And now we commence our Two Minutes Hate Of Christians, who stand in the way of our god, Lucifer.
I would like to take this time to point out that the majority of workers at the UN are Muslims. I think the only thing missing from this manifesto is forced labor. But I guess there will be time enough for that later.
That may be so but the ones at the top, like every where else, are Lucies.

There is an interesting angle on disclosure. And if you can believe it, the Clintons are involved.

I agree. I don't give a shit what the head baby touched says about anything, and I wish we would leave the UN, and NATO. Unless you need tips on how to avoid prosecution for being a pedophile, I don't think the pope has anything useful to say.
The Russian initiative is far more better and make sense:

Can't we just hurry Skynet and the Terminators along a little bit?
Like all things governmental and bureaucratic this is what it does and does best.
It, from its very inception, begins assuming authority UNTO ITSELF it has not been granted. It will decieve you with its promise of goodwill and intent only to enrage, frustrate and abuse you by its actions.
And as for the pope embroiling himself and his religion once again in issues of the state and "world wide governance" instead of the soul, I have only one thing to say to you, lead by example, divest the Vatican of its treasure and its art, lead by this example if you are as pure as you piously claim to be.
You will not, history is filled with people like you and I see you for what you really are.
Read the Popes life. That should satisfy you.
I'm sure he's 10 times you the example to you than you are to him.
Must be so irksome for someone of your prejudice that Francis so poorly fits your caricature, and for the last 100 year's anyway, the Popes have been good and great men. Course that won't stop your pig headed pedantry.
To clarify my position, I am not Catholic (I'm Protestant) so everything I say from this point on has that bias (and freely admitted) if one chooses to look at it as a bias or prejudice.
To further clarify, I don't believe religion should be mixed in with governance of any kind, that "the state" and ANY religion concern themselves with two different aspects of the human experience, the mortal & the eternal, they are and should forever be...separate.
To clarify even further, I am not now nor will I ever be, a socialist, which is a form of governance (the mortal, of men) or a statist or a one world government kind of guy, which is what this pope comes off as.
The pope should confine himself to his chosen field of work (the eternal, the tending of the soul) and not step into the mud pit of the mortal, the political, lest he soil his robe, his religion and his soul.
I agree. Well put. Nice extension of Xian charity. God bless.
To clarify my position, I am not Catholic (I'm Protestant)

I remember when you were a troll.
Oh wait... you still are
I've commented on it many times before Tony, you just chose to ignore it or didn't see it, always preferring to resort to some half-baked gambit to discredit me personally on ZH and I really don't expect you to stop the thing that consumes your every waking hour now...lol...just so we're clear.
So good luck with all that and go see a shrink first chance you get ;-)
The Pope heads the worlds largest cult of mother worshipers, the are off shoots of the worshipers of Dianna of the Ephesians.
At their base, they are ALL (as in every major religion in the world) worshipers of Saturn.
Days of the week :)
This pope is a fucking dumpster fire. He's a "liberation theologist" which is Marxism operating under color of Christianity. Any decent catholic understands that, in the words of Paul VI, the "smoke of Satan has penetrated the Vatican".
Hillary Cuntin out Commies them all , mother fucker.
I really hate to even "go there" with this comment but I'm going to throw this out there nonetheless. I spent a couple of hours last night listening to this presentation by Richard Dolan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsJDsxmzMDw For those of you unfamiliar, he is a UFO guy who has a few very interesting ideas on the "who/how/why" of UFO's and the ongoing coverup. I think that anyone who takes the 1+45 hr to listen to this video, you'll come away very impressed that "something" is going on. He has very interesting theories that dovetail with known events and recorded testimony from people in very high gov't positions, it's worth a listen.
IF, one were to look at this data and assume it was true (I understand this would be a leap of faith but just go with it for a second), this would explain a lot of things that are happening around the world, events that are obviously being coordinated at some high level.
IF, there is zero point energy (or alternative energy source that would completely change our world/society), IF there is coordination between an advanced off world civilization and our gov't to exchange technology and build advanced spaceships, could not this explain the constant move towards a unified planet in terms of policy and gov't? Would this not explain the need for the missing trillions from gov't programs (2.3 from military alone)? It might even explain why that monetary system was opted for to begin with.
I'm not saying that this is the one unifying theory that would explain away all the evils of gov't, we know that a lot of these fuckers are pyscho. I've been trying to wrap my mind around this Illuminati bullshit that we know is true. We know that a lot of leaders of the free world practice some sort of satanic rituals on a regular basis (Bohemian grove). We can see that there has been a pattern of control for at least a century that has directed nations against each other, potentially with a goal of reaching where we are today. The common view is that these are a bunch of control freak, pyschopaths with a vision of a world gov't that enslaves all of humanity, and maybe that is what is going on. However, there are facts (yes, facts) that support another view that there is essentially a highly compartmentalized effort, a massive Manhatten project, if you will, that uses money from black budget and drug running to fund. These projects are given to private industry at the highest levels (again, compartmentalized) and the results are constructed, tested, etc., at the area 51's of the world.
We also know that there are MANY anomalies in our supposed recorded history that are not explained, Pyramids around the world, megoliths and other stone work that are not possible with the technology we have even today. Ancient sandskrit detailing ET's, etc. (this stuff is out there and now thanks to the computer, the masses finally can research previously unavailable documentation of this type information).
I'm wary of the UFO phenomenon but I'm gathering the information as it's presented with an open mind. I think that with the prevalence of new information out there, we as a society need to start pressing our gov't to be forthcoming with what is going on, something I don't expect will happen as that decision has apparently already been made in the past.
Oh, as an aside, the Vatican came out a couple of years ago with an interesting comment about ET's and how that the presence of ET's would not necessarily mean that religions were invalidated (paraphrasing). i find that an interesting comment given that Mr Dolan believes that disclosure of ET's is soon to be forthcoming (but not complete with regard to the involvement of gov'ts with ET's, techology transfers, etc). We are certainly at an interesting juncture in world history with many large disrupting events potentially happening very close together (by design?)!
OK, I'm officially a "whacko"!
Go ahead and go there. I recall gold price suppression used to be beyond ridiculous.
The glaring issue with this theory is that we would expect any extra terrestrial intelligence to know at least as much as the general human population does. If we know our leaders are corrupt masochists, we should expect ETs to have done their research and know the same. If this is the case, why would the ETs choose to collaborate with the filth of our society, currently in power and not choose to empower the non-corrupt "good guys" (whoever they may be) instead?
You would have to conclude that the ETs approve of the filth, not a pleasant thing to think about. As a side note, I'm a electrical/electronic engineer(just a BS degree) and some of the tech coming out seems kind of out of this world to me and my co-workers, we like to joke about the "alien technology" that we use every day.
Well, it's a good question and of course I don't have a definitive answer (not that you thought I would). I'll note that they believe ET to gov't contact started in the mid 50's. before the crazy corruption we have now. Also, just thinking out loud, they would probably be forced to deal with a gov't versus some sort of private contact (which appears to have happened in any event), perhaps it's one of those "least dirty shirt" type choices they were faced with (assuming any of this happened at all)?
watch some simon parkes interviews. chronologically.
The only "aliens" that exist are followers of Satan.
The whole "UFO" fad is a cover to conceal testing of aerial/drone flight technology and to snuff out witnesses along the way.
unsuspecting public: "I think I saw a UFO fly above!"
UFO researcher crony: "Really? Come to our research centers and tell us what you saw....."
Think of how the cops encourage witnesses and whistleblowers to come forth to authorities with evidence. It is the same gig just on a larger scale
The only "space" travel that exists are attempts to get beyond the antarctic ice wall/perimeter --- to exploit resources and to seek refuge. Cronies from all nations are in on the scam. The biggest scam about "globalism" is that there is no globe.
By the way, the pyramids are no technological feat at all. They are nothing but poured concrete. With enough slaves, anybody could do it. When Jesus said faith can move mountains, He was referring to the inane construction of the pyramids. Nobody questioned Him because because it common knowledge back them.

If only everyone understood The True Nature of Government ...
We are fortunate enough to witness contrasting ideaologies. On the one hand is the relative freedom and innovation of the western world (or whatever you want to call it). On the other hand seems to be this totalitarian political system masquerading as a religion, known as Islam that is culturally stuck in the 12th century.
Given that Statism is merely religion, or the belief that a small group of people, if handed all the power and guns, will solve all the challenges of society. Perhaps, having been declared a religion, Islam is the ultimate State?
The State is so 20th century....BC
Some folks will profit handsomely from this unlawful and inhumane destruction.

Follow up with some remedial 'anti-empirium' connections between excercising excellence, free will, the potential positives for the brave enduring the challenges we are now facing, and many other spiritual tonics. I found much to be optimistic about here...timely! (RedIce Radio: for some of the most far-reaching and challenging researchers on the planet - well worth the members sub for extra content)
http://www.redicecreations.com/radio/2015/05/RIR-150511.php
"Neil Kramer is a British philosopher and esotericist. His work focuses principally on spirituality, mysticism, and metaphysics. He explores the relationship between inner development and the many social and cultural factors that influence our everyday lives by drawing attention to embracing truth, confronting the negative, and transforming self. Neil returns to Red Ice Radio to pick up on our last discussion on tribal heritage, taking the concept a bit further to include problems that stem from misconceptions about human rights, the promises of equality, and self-censorship.
Neil defines what he calls the Empire, or the system that is set against the growth of man, and outlines the importance of recognizing that these entities are designed to be part of our spiritual development. We consider the media’s focus on race, migration, sexual orientation and equality and how these headlines have been formulated to invoke division and polarization amongst tribes. Neil draws connections from the formation of the UN’s 1946 Commission on Human Rights to the current policies that appear to champion freedom and wellbeing, but ultimately seek to condition people to believe in an unnatural sense of sameness and uniformity amongst individuals and across cultures.
Neil emphasizes the primary meaning of discrimination, a word that has been used to prevent people from making moral observations or expressing any sort of disapproval. In the second segment, we take a closer look at the war on individuality that has been dramatically reshaping our natural sense of belonging and diversity since WWII, and the destructive forces that enter the vacuum created by the disavowing of will and power."
Supporters of a federal world government are not a new or recent phenomenon. Moreover, their arguments have historically been rooted in a fierce criticism of the excesses of nationalism, which excludes rather than includes, and therefore seeks to "get rid of all unnecessary/unworthy people". That fact still echoes in the rhetoric of right-wing anti-immigration parties to this day. You are either misinformed about the subject, or are misrepresenting it.

But your diseased mind is not even capable of comprehending the havoc you cause. You are the White Zimbabwean farmer inviting his own brutal destruction at the hands of zombie-eyed bipeds. Which is fine. But you're also doing it to others who deserve better. A pox on your house.
Reality in this plain of existence just keeps getting more and more bizarre... It's like watching The Texas Chainsaw Massacre mixed with Night of the Living Dead, the Manchurian Candidate, Dr Stranglove and Mad Max... I've had acid trips that were more tame than today's reality...
Come to the Netherlands, it's called that for a reason.
"'I've had acid trips that were more tame than today's reality..."
Want to bet
You will get so lost that you will find yourselve again.
You have yet to conjure an original thought. your post above is childish and arrogant. You exhibit that messiah complex of the left, as if you are keyed in to "the moral" and we poor libertarian minded folk are too selfish/hate-filled/naive to see.
Counterweight? guys like you are all over the place. we're aware of your perspective and reject the love of state, the moral solipsism, and the tedious reductionism.
You arent the prettiest girl at the dance, Sally. you're just another cunt here to preach, unable to listen and learn.
We've got enough of guys like you. you're inescapable. you bring nothing new.
And you know it.
A well-formed turd would make for a better counterweight. . .
He did show me the word Solipsisme and at that i had to look it up.
So fuck YOU, now i''m reading Descartes, DOOM ZH
The comment section sould be forbidden
Fuck it with an anti aircraft gun.
In case you haven't noticed all groups in power want to marginalize or eliminate those who are different from them.
Have you noticed the significant increase in extreme paranoid behavior amongst them since cocaine made it to Europe?
Have been smoking too much weed or other hallucinogenic substances, hm, Scandinavian trash? Why are you not hospitalized ffs! You clearly have mental issues. Not even NGO whores are that stupid, but you could be one still, though I doubt it. You reek of stupidity, clovnishness and utter ignorance. Genuine idiot. True Scandinavo.
And for those of you who are not familiar with the Scandinavos, this idiot is a typical representative of the Scandinavos on the whole. Scandinavos are generally characterized as dumb, dull, foolish, servile, whorish, naive, ignorant and imbecilic. In other words -- scum!
Just so you know, Scandinavian moron, nobody wants to be ruled by "federal world goverment" as you put it, anymore than rest of the world wants you degenerate Scandinavos settling down in their lands. Don't imagine you are welcomed anywhere, Scandinavian scum. Even Africans wouldn't accept or welcome you, Scandinavo. You are trash, plain and simple. Now let that simple truth sinks in deep into your awareness, hm? Have a good day, scum.
Your clever prose was going along quite swimmingly until this:
"That fact still echoes in the rhetoric of right-wing anti-immigration parties to this day."
I know it's difficult to avoid tossing around the 'right-wing' stuff. It's like the shiny red button on an epsiode of Ren & Stimpy - it just Screams for you to hit it. Today's Neo-Bolshevik however needs to master the fine art of subtlety when attempting to 'win over' his target audience.
Try again.
So after the latest Fukushima article on ZH yesterday, it got me to taking another look at the radiation measurements in the Pacific. You know, the place where absolutely nothing is happening if you look at news and official sources.
Well.....guess what? The ongoing semi-crowdsourced/funded testing and reporting site from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, where the notorious disinformation hack Ken Buesseler spouts look-the-other-way nonsense for the mainstream media....has an interesting August 2014 'sweep' apparantly by a Moss Landing ship that went out to where the Kuriosho Current blends in with the California Current.
Go to http://ourradioactiveocean.org/results.html and click on the blue circles in a swath between the Aleutians and nothern California. #5026 is the one I am relating here but there are others in similar ranges.
The measurements there are 4.6 Bequerels per cubic meter of cesium-137, and 1.6 Bq/m3 of cesium-134.
According to their own site, background should be 1-2 Bq/m3 for Cs-137 and 'below detection' for Cs-134. Detection limit for CS-134 being 0.2 Bq/m3.
This means that Pacific waters approaching the US had by last fall reached more than twice background for Cs-137 and at least 6-8 times background for Cs-134. Of course, nuclear apologists also assume that radioactive releases of cesium occurred only in the spring of 2011 and than stopped, but they in fact have not stopped, and only increased with the ongoing high-level groundwater 'flushing' going on at the disaster site in Japan. This curve is ON THE WAY UP and NO ONE HAS NOTICED.
Ooooops. Entirely consistent with my and other responsible analyses. Sadly.
So the becquerel rating for just the potassium-40 in your much less than one cubic meter volume body is 4,400 Bq, that doesn't amount to squat. And estimates of particles passing through your body are up to 10,000 per second. Try again.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becquerel
One Bq is defined as the activity of a quantity of radioactive material in which one nucleus decays per second.
For example, the roughly 0.0169 g of potassium-40 present in a typical human body produces approximately 266,000 disintegrations per minute, which equates to about 4,400 disintegrations per second or 4.4 kBq of activity.[4] The global inventory of carbon-14 is estimated to be 8.5×1018 Bq (8.5 EBq, 8.5 exabecquerel).[5] The nuclear explosion in Hiroshima (14 kt or 59 TJ) is estimated to have produced 8×1024 Bq (8 YBq, 8 yottabecquerel).[6]
I presume you are an Internet cowboy because you obviously don't know much on this topic. But, you know, reading is FUNdamental and all that so, carry on.
You're too ignorant to know why you should be embarrassed.
The old shill standby K-40 "banana" argument combined with a strawman.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man
A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on false representation of an opponent's argument.[1]
The straw man fallacy occurs in the following pattern of argument:
This reasoning is a fallacy of relevance: it fails to address the proposition in question by misrepresenting the opposing position.
To be successful, a straw man argument requires that the audience be ignorant or uninformed of the original argument.
Try again, banana boy.

Even the 1% are delusional, The Aliens wont need anyone human.
there are different entities with different agendas. humanity have to choose whether they wish to continue being enslaved by one of them or be shown the path to knowledge..
This is UN-believeable.
There are still some points missing in the list
- To distribute the wealth of 0.1% evenly among the rest 99.9%, which is what actually caused all the problems depicted in the previous points.
- To eliminate all bodies that substantially caused the current world situation, namely the central banks and their rampant money printing, bank proxies boosting flawed investments, chosen crony corporations and corrupt politicians submissively serving their needs while constantly betraying the interests of the citizens they should represent.
But jokes and communist manifests aside, the important thing is that the new world order - emerging in Asia - is progressing successfully. Hope the BRICS bank will soon be accessible to the public so that we know where to transfer money in the upcoming cashless society. In addition to personal physical gold reserve, of course.
If This is It, how can this be Un believeable.

No junction. They don't want to kill all the peasants, they want to create more. They need us all to chant together in unison across the globe in order to usher in the Anti-Christ. But first, they need to remove any vestige of a free human spirit. No more camp fires, wood stoves, BBQs, private property, collecting rain water, growing your own food, keeping your house as cool or warm as you like, taking a bath, building a house as big as you want, using electricity without a smart meter, leaving the hose on while washing your car, choosing your medical care, deciding who you want to hire and for how much, owning a business, using cash, speaking your own mind etc, etc, etc, etc, .....
Have you heard of the Georgia Guidestones?
It calls for population to be 500,000,000. That means 6,500,000,000 are extra.

Truth is stranger than fiction.
The laurel is for bald, impotent men. To make them feel better. Apparently at any cost to the rest of us.
Painfully true. Less people = better quality of life, less competition, more resources available. That's a fact. So... I really don't see a problem with this (to the tune of a few billion. Two, three maybe?), even if I draw one of the short straws it would be an acceptable solution. Too many of us... far too many.
start with yourself then.

Maurice Strong - A good person to deal with should the big reset happen. I have been following this topic for years and since there is an ultra "Greenie" president in place who is focused on gathering carbon taxes for more "investments" one needs to get educated. With the upcoming rollout of Agenda 21 Ver. 2.0, one needs to understand that the absolute destruction of the USA and other Western countries is what they are promoting. What appears insane are the supporters you find in the US government and many other organizations. They are not only at the Federal level, they have invaded many local communities with this tripe already. ICLEI is the group that promotes this UN IPCC stuff locally. http://archive.iclei.org/
What are they thinking? Where are they driving the bus? Why are they still in a position of power? I had read somewhere in the past that old Maurice posited that "Mother Earth" can only be expected to "sustain" about 500,000,000 people globally. These people are very, very scary. Equally disturbing is the list of our "leaders" in various forms who have signed onto this garbage over many years lending support.

That's what this shit is all about, population control. Sorry motherfuckers. Don't trust the Jesuit order either. For 600 years they made the Jews look like a hopscotch game. Now the Tribe and the Vatican are running dirty ass neck to neck, IM humble opinion.
Bingo Joe Mama! Look up Art Mcgovern SJ and liberation theology.I had him at a Jesuit Prep school and been following this movement for years.Came up during Obozo`s first campaign.The Rev.Wright was preaching black Liberation theology to the main man in the front row! No one payed much attention then as to what it was,but we sure know now,don`t we? Classic battle between capitalism and socialism within the Catholic church and now globally via The Jesuit Pope among others. Look where Obozo was last week pitching his latest trash angainst the "rich". Georgetown university run by the Society of Jesus!
As well it should be. The earth is a finite place with finite resources, despite what crazy religious assholes and ignorant jackasses say. Just offer $5,000 to get sterilized, and you'd have people lining up - no genocide necessary.
More like population reduction, the current population is unsustainable as it is, compounded with a debt based economical system which allows us to consume beyond our means against the finite resources we have on our planet suggests we are on the path for a major shift in our environment and ourselves.
This path does not change without population control and a change in human consciousness which can reward humans for the lack of consumption and replenishment.

Hitler/Obama/Clinton/Mao's fucking dream.
These ambitious programs, like bills in the US Congress, are always named for the exact opposite of what they actually do.
I'm sure once they have enough autists on board the' Kill People Who Dare Disagree With Us Act' will do exactly what it says. So we got that going for us.
Bingo, I believe this is actually the UN setting up organized religion for a fall...not quite sure how yet, maybe even force the Catholic Church and all other religions to literally put their tax free profits where their mouths are (just a theory). It is a quite interesting development, and I believe that all these big business owners who are actually in control of the government see this Pope as a clown and an enemy of their own agendas. But no one really knows what will be the straw that breaks the UN's back to destroy these religions. Well...there is one that knows
I'm not sure I'd call it ambitious...
Any list that starts with:
1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere
is the equivalent of Miss America saying: and I want world peace... for everyone </breathy smile>
This kind of list is a complete waste of time and resources.
The reality, however, has nothing to do with anything they claim as a goal. It is quite simply another excuse for why resources are taken out of individual hands and put in their hands.
When will people stop accepting garbage like this list as the product they receive in exchange for their blood, sweat and tears? How stupid are we, people?
Well, if you think it is real, then you might be right. But if you learn to read the stiches on the fastball, or, for that matter, read the so-called "Constitution" of the U.S.S.R you might take a different meaning.

"When will people stop accepting garbage like this list as the product they receive in exchange for their blood, sweat and tears? How stupid are we, people?"
Good question, time will tell.
Read the Five Axioms of Government, and then go back and read those 17 summit "goals" again.
The General Axiom of Government #1: "Government is nothing more than a criminal syndicate of violence, theft, destruction, and death. All statements otherwise are lies."
The General Axiom of Government #2: All actions by government are driven by a quest for money, power, and division.
The General Axiom of Government #3: "Being nothing more than a criminal syndicate, government can only produce 4 things: Poverty, misery, death, and lies. All statements otherwise are lies."
The General Axiom of Government #4: "Being nothing but a criminal syndicate, government always accomplishes the opposite of the stated goal, as the stated goal is always a lie."
The General Axiom of government #5: Being nothing but a criminal syndicate concerned only with stealing and killing under cover of the lie of providing services, government must always monitor and control the thoughts, attitudes, behavior, and speech of their victims, subjects.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
Governments are de facto!
Governments exist because:
Organized crime necessarily exists, and can not be stopped from existing. Therefore, the biggest forms of organized crime are governments, and those are controlled by the best organized gangs of criminals.
"Liberty" and "freedom" are transcendental poetry words, that have no operational definitions. Those magical words tend to be used in ways that are not connected to the basic laws of nature, that energy cannot be created out of nothing, nor sent to nothing. (It takes radical paradigm shifts to perceive ways to make the ideal of "liberty" become consistent with the laws of physics.)
The original "slavery" is due to human beings NOT being able to make air, water, or food out of nothing, and not being able to make their waste products turn into nothing. Human beings are entropic pumps of energy flows. However, the history of civilization has been based on doing that in the most socially successful ways through the maximum possible deceits and frauds, which included inverting the concept of entropy, by inserting an arbitrary minus sign into the entropy equations of thermodynamics and information theory.
kchrisc is another typical reactionary revolutionary, promoting false fundamental dichotomies, and the related impossible ideals as solutions. kchrisc routinely promotes grossly over-simplified forms of death controls as being "solutions" to the problems ... Meanwhile, I propose similar sets of intellectual scientific revolutions in the comments that I post on Zero Hedge. (Some of the most recent ones were replies posted under this article: Caught In The Act: Government Hackers)
Zero Hedge articles and comments are overflowing with the baa, baa, blaa of the range of Black Sheeple. An article like the one above is certain to provoke lots of those kinds of comments. OF COURSE, krchris is correct about the analysis, on the superficial level at which that is presented, but since that is still a shallow analysis, the proposed solutions are silly, at best.
Many of the people who read Zero Hedge already know that our political economy is based upon ENFORCED FRAUDS, which were made possible by the history of social pyramid systems being based upon backing up lies with violence. Indeed, the history of warfare was based upon backing up deceits with destruction, which then morphed to become the history of finance based on ENFORCED FRAUDS. The surviving War Kings made the sovereign states, whose powers were then captured by the Fraud Kings, the bankers.
While those are obvious historical facts, it tends to be practically guaranteed that those who somewhat reveal those facts will then collapse back to the same bullshit based on false fundamental dichotomies, and related impossible ideals, when they switch gears from the analysis of the problems, to proposed their kinds of "solutions" to those problems. OF COURSE, the UN was made by professional liars and immaculate hypocrites, because the UN was made by the banksters, who pay for the various professional hypocrites to get together and agree with each others' hypocrisies.
The idealized goals of "sustainable development" must actually be implemented through changing the human ecology, which necessarily means changing the death control systems, which back up the debt control systems. While I agreed with most of those idealized goals, I insist that the actual mechanisms to implement them will be, and must be, different ways to operate the combined money/murder systems. OF COURSE, the problematic obstacles in the way are that the currently established systems are those based on the maximum possible deceits and frauds, operated by organized crime gangs that control governments, which are necessarily the biggest organized crime gangs, while the core of best organized crime has surrounded itself with layers of controlled opposition groups, that agree to stay within the same bullshit frame of reference.
Therefore, the UN framework for "sustainable developments, etc. ..." are the kinds of agenda promoted by liars and hypocrites, which are based on deliberately ignoring that the only realistic ways to implement that agenda requires changing the ways that the death controls back up the debt controls ... in ways which ideally would result in better integrated human, industrial and natural ecologies.
Of course, I only expect people like kchrisc to repeat yet again his favourite slogans, as I do mine. Indeed, the basic problems we face are that pretty well everyone is merely repeating their own favourite bullshit social stories, while the biggest bullies' bullshit dominates civilization ... which currently manifests as mainly the international bankers, who have set up a host of international organizations, which have the ulterior purposes of advancing those bankers' agenda, which is, as the agenda of the best organized gangsters, actually a criminally insane agenda of those banksters.
What I would like to see is more open and rational debates about how human beings are going to operate their necessary death control systems, which is particularly imperative after the established murder systems have developed weapons of mass destruction. However, OF COURSE, I do not expect that to become publicly possible in the foreseeable future. While it is theoretically possible that human beings and civilizations could understand themselves better, at the present time the established social pyramid systems are in the way of doing that, which systems include all of the biggest and best organized gangs of criminals, and all of the controlled opposition groups that surround them.
Mostly the UN is a controlled opposition group, which promotes impossible ideals that actually make the opposite happen in the real world. This latest proposed plan is practically guaranteed to continue to do that, yet again ... Human beings are stuck with the realities of natural selection. Human beings have developed upon that basis in extremely paradoxical ways, by developing artificial selection systems that were most socially successful when done through the maximum possible deceits and frauds about themselves.
At the present time, the human species has a runaway, criminally insane, kind of civilization, in which the public "money" supply is made out of nothing, in order to "pay" for strip-mining the natural resources of the planet as fast as possible, while disregarding, as much as possible, the ways that those resources end up as garbage and pollution. Those basic financial frauds by privately controlled banks are enforced by governments, since governments ARE the biggest forms of organized crime, controlled by the banksters, as the currently best organized gangs of criminals, which have as one of their false fronts spouting bullshit the UN.
However, there are no other genuine solutions than to do that better. Human beings necessarily live as entropic pumps of energy flows, which operate through systems of organized lies operating robberies. The bigger problems with respect to developing any better integrated human, industrial and natural ecologies are that the current social systems are based upon systems of legalized lies, backed by legalized violence. Therefore, what the UN proposals are really based upon is merely more of that, including more lies and hypocrisy about that.
kchrisc is correct about the nature of government. However, kchrisc does not go further, to comprehend how and why that must necessarily be the case, and therefore, no realistic resolutions of the problems can be proposed that are outside of those basic realities. However, hah, I would be quite surprised IF the Pope of the Catholic Church started to discuss the death control systems which would be necessarily central to any actual implementation of the “UN’s sustainable development goals.”
Ditto for Islam, and the other religions. It is practically impossible to exaggerate the degree to which thousands of years of operating the human death control systems with the most social successfulness by being as deliberately deceitful about doing that as possible. Similarly, it is practically impossible to exaggerate the degree to which all economic activities have developed as subsets of the history of warfare, so that financial successfulness became based almost totally upon being able to ENFORCE FRAUDS.
The ONLY things that have significantly changed are the various kinds of progress in physical science, which have produced awesome new technologies that worked. Meanwhile, political science has gone nowhere, except to drown under its bullshit, piled up even deeper. While human beings are understanding other general energy systems better, that has not been the case yet with human systems, because doing so necessarily results in perceiving that human civilizations must actually operate according to the principles and methods of organized crime, in which the death control systems are central to everything else, especially including that those death control systems back up the debt control systems, which in turn control the rest of the economic activities that human beings engage in.
Therefore, guys like kchrisc are not nearly cynical enough. Their "solutions" are always way too shallow, because their analysis never went any deeper. Meanwhile, I am in favour of global government, and I always have been. However, the kind of global government that I am in favour of is one that is genuinely more scientific about how it operates in death control systems. That is NOT the same as more of the same kind of "scientific dictatorship" that we have now, where the old-fashioned systems of social success based upon the maximum deceits and frauds would continue to prevail.
Better systems of artificial selection are possible if those made greater use of information, enabling higher consciousness regarding the natural selection pressures that drive the artificial selection systems to develop in the ways that those must.
+1 RM. Thank you reinvigorating my low level of cynicism.
Another spot on analyisis of why we are here and what we should do about it.
Goddamn RM you must be of times of old, like attention spans longer than 8 seconds, before the swipe
Love your big post's, save them, to reread, but afterer reading a lot of you posts do you have anything that looks like a solution?
World fucked-monkey's with nukes
Eh
Now what
No politically practical solutions, DutchR.
What I continue to actually do is work on the problem of the FUNDING of politics, through the one tool that I have, which is the Canadian political contribution tax credit, through Electoral District Associations.
However, after thirty years of working on that problem, including two long court cases against the government of Canada over the laws that control the funding of political parties, the only things that I have PROVEN over and over again is that the more one knows, the worse it gets.
I work on developing at least some possible theories about what real solutions would look like ... HOWEVER, in practice it appears that our society is too terminally sick and insane to recover. There are no possible "reforms" which will be actually implemented ... We can only speculate about whatever might survive through "revolutions" going out of control, as the established systems own madness drives them to become more and more self-destructive.
Comment deleted in the interest of decorum.
Good grief man, this is fight club.
Fair point, but we should also strive to maintain personal standards for conduct, unlike the psychopaths who work to hijack, corrupt and undermine our values, and cursing adds little value to our discussion. Let me just say that the UN seems like a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Fuck decorum. Decorum is how we got into this fucking mess........
too much truthiness in that.
In the beginning there was nothing
And then that exploded
Decorum: If you're over 40 I probably don't want to see you naked. Otherwise you want to walk around naked, its cool.
What humans consider decent conduct is wholy indecent all the time, regardless of age. You could not embarass yourself more than bring embarassed in public by your own thought...
Can anyone cite a compelling success story about the United Nations? Anyone?
How about central planning success stories? I didn't think so.
Wall Street. (They've been successful on both counts)
Or did you mean success for the little people without names like Rockefeller or Soros?
Zimbabwe
Can't even reach the standard of compelling, can't think of anything.

Only fear the turmoil along the way.
What is the book in which an American F-16 pilot drops a 1000 lb. bomb on the UN headquarters in NY? It was also one in which Shrlllary was president and was running concentration, er re-education, camps within the US for those who opposed her fascist government.
I completely reject the U.N. as a supra-national governmental body and recognize no binding authority or legitimacy in any of its edicts or resolutions. Period.
This all ends when the oil goes bye-bye
I think that's one of their goals, ending fossil fuel use. I don't think that will help us not hurt them. They'll still have access so they'll still have movement.
The cost structure won't work to support a tiny minority, no matter how much force they're prepared to use. Think of how many people it actually takes to design and build an iPad, and the huge infrastructure required to support those people. You need miners, oil drillers, people who machine tool the oil drills, people who build the machine tools, people who feed the people who build the machine tools... Even if they're willing to go full Kim Jong Un you just can't beat an iPad out of a resource base of 100 people.
Yes you can. Robots. If you can't feasibly use robots, plan to use more people.
Rome wasn't built in a day, and with enough slave labor, you can do anything.

end poverty, those bastards!
Give it a chance man, Heck, they ended inflation didn't they? And unemployment......
Yea, code for socialism.
1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere
By killing everyone evrywhere who is not super rich
2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture
By killing everyone evrywhere who is hungry
3. Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages
By killing everyone evrywhere who is considered to be sick ( even if they are not sick)
