Irish water just tip of the iceberg....

    Google "agenda 21", to see what Ireland and most countries have signed up to.

    It's a United Nations report on how the world should be run in the 21st century. This is not a conspiracy , it's a widely available document that anybody can read.

    Here is an Irish perspective with examples of how it's already being implemented in our country;

    http://news-beacon-ireland.info/?p=15675


    Here is the UN report on our progress:

    http://www.un.org/esa/agenda21/natlinfo/countr/ireland/eco.htm

    I have seen some people try to suggest this is a conspiracy theory. Let me ask you this, then why has Ireland signed up to a UN agenda that the majority of the nation doesn't even know about?

    http://www.postsustainabilityinstitute.org/which-nations-signed-agenda-21.html

    And if you think it's an objective , harmless plan you need only look at what organisations fund the implementation of the report. Look at the details, many of which are discussed in many differant forums.

    End game is where people are in essence limited to living in small areas of land, not allowed to own land privately, limited and controlled education, changing of family values (community before family). It goes as far as to even talk about getting rid of mother and father and replacing them with parents.

    If it sounds familiar I suppose the matrix movie is as close to an example I can give (with humans controlling humans).

    This official United Nations report Is so amazingly nuts and out there, people might find it hard to believe it doesn't exist. Well if you are really upset about the way the country is run and of these new water charges you will read up about agenda 21 and realise that the water charge fiasco is only the start of a change of life that's more insidious then anybody could imagine.

    Before people start to attack the post out of disbelief or apathy, ask yourself did you or anybody you know, realise that Ireland has signed up to agenda 21? This isn't pie in the sky stuff, we as a country have committed to this way of life.

    It's an United nations report. How is that a conspiracy?

    I know it's asking people a lot to actually research a report that will shape how Ireland will be run and that we have already signed up to, but there you go.

    It's funny because the more I read up about it the more frightening it actually is. What's even more frightening is how oblivious people are to how it's already being implemented.

    As I said, you need only Google United Nations and agenda 21.

    http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agenda_21

    A conspiracy is something that's formulated in secret. Anybody with Google can find this Official UN document online.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,032 ✭✭✭McTigs


    "Agenda 21 is a non-binding, voluntarily implemented action plan of the United Nations with regard to sustainable development"

    We are voluntarily implementing it. When did the Irish people find out about it and agree to it?

    But sure I suppose we don't need to know, like mein kampf it's just a harmless document that won't really be implemented!

    The truth is that I only know very little about it so intend on reading up more to see how much of it is actually relevant. But I suspect the reason it's able to stay under the radar so much is because people don't believe that something so big could be orchestrated. This is clear from some of The "witty" dismissals of it by some posters who actually don't even know what agenda 21 is and that its an official strategy that Ireland has committed to.

    Why don't you "read up" on it some more and come back when you have some solid concrete proof that we are all being "Matrixed" You claim posters don't know what it is yet you also admit "The truth is that I only know very little about it"

    Yes the government should inform the public on every policy that will have huge implications on how they will live. is that something that really needs to be spelled out?

    As I said I am going to read up more but why should I spoonfeed people? You can choose to be ignorant or educate yourself. It's this kind of laziness (somebody else do the work and summarise it for me) that allows people to be completely obvious and ignorant to factual information that they themselves could use for enlightenment.

    Again you already admit you know little about this so how can you claim there will be huge implications when you yourself don't understand those alleged huge implications?

    Just do random Google searches. There is even a agenda 21 for dummies YouTube video.

    There are thousands of pages in agenda 21, so it might have to be a long term project for me!

    I posted it here so anybody who doesn't know about it can do their own research.

    This far it seems like a very insidious strategy. We need only look at human nature historicity to realise that something like this is not completely improbable. Mass genocide goes on in countries on an ongoing basis, Usa invades whoever it wants without anybody giving a feck.

    The world that we are born into is the one we accept. Part of my openess to understanding these kind of radical thinking is actually through gaining self awareness. I realise that most people accept what they know or what they were thought, without really questioning it.

    Yeah, the UN's an all powerful supra-national government of unknowable, unimaginable and unstoppable power bent on world domination. That's why they've been so successful in preventing any wars from happening since 1945.

    Article 21 exists, but the hyped claims about it are conspiracy theories. If you want something real to be worried about, then this is something of genuine concern:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transatlantic_Trade_and_Investment_Partnership#Transparency


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,306 ✭✭✭✭Drumpot


    http://www.environ.ie/en/Environment/LocalAgenda21/PublicationsDocuments/FileDownLoad,1834,en.pdf

    Heres an official document that clearly shows Ireland is implementing the strategy . .

    What does a Local Agenda 21 Process Involve?
    A Local Agenda 21 process should involve the target community. It should focus on
    the strategic needs of the community and should seek to balance the competing
    demands of development and environmental protection whilst addressing the social
    and cultural needs of the community. It should strive to achieve consensus on the
    strategic needs of the community. The process should try to obtain a reasonable
    balance, as defined by the community, between the economic, social, cultural and
    environmental dimensions of development so as to improve community life now and
    in the future.


    So how involved have Irish people been with this strategy?

    On the surface it just looks like an innocently prudent strategy for self preservation. If it is, then why doesn't anybody know about it? Surely understanding where these strategys are going to take us as a society is the single most important thing to humanity ? What world will my children live in if the policy of Agenda 21 becomes something that is legally enforced?

    Ah, sure this will never happen. the whole strategy of this plan is about limiting what humans can do and making everything micro managed.

    What choice did we have for a water charge? What choice did we have for a property tax ? Never mind, sure this document is only optional, something we have chosen to implement, but just not educate the people who it will effect . . Yep, one big giant conspiracy . . Forget the facts, forget the official information , forget the fact that Ireland is openly implementing the strategy, it sounds good in theory so lets not worry about the specifics or minor points like educating people about it.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transatlantic_Trade_and_Investment_Partnership#Transparency

    Ok, so you agree its an official UN sanctioned, Ireland committed strategy .


    Considering the ramifications and implications to every person in the country, do you not think its even a little bit strange that nobody knows about it ? This is a strategy to design how the country is to be run and how future communities will govern themselves and you don't think its remotely important for people to understand and either agree or disagree to it ?



    Its no conspiracy that the transparency of this strategy is insidious and deserves to be looked at closer. Its also no conspiracy that a government implementing a strategy that the people do not even know about is not really democratic now is it ?



    I am not looking to ram this down peoples throats as its clear many people are not open minded enough to even investigate the merits of my original post. I am choosing to look into it more, not because I believe all the negative theories about where it will lead, but because I am open minded and objective enough to accept that this is a possibility.

    The hubris and ignorance of mankind on so many different levels on so many different things is difficult for me to understand.

    100 years ago people would not of believed a book about purging millions of jews could of led to a mass genocide of a race. In modern times, people accept the rogue actions of the US, who invade whoever they want under false pretenses. Its factually accurate that Iraq didn't have weapons of mass destruction , yet this was the factual reason given for a US invasion. But most people shrug their shoulders and dismiss it. Now look at the uproar about Russia and Crimea. How is this any different to the US? If anything, the water thin argument Putin gives for invading is more "reasonable" then the US invasion of Iraq.



    So what has this got to do with my OP? It shows that people are programmed to accept horrible things that they have been programmed to accept. US invade a country, ok. Russia invade a country bad. It also shows how sterile people are when it comes to stepping out of the world as they understand it, and seeing it from an objective (or at least different) perspective..

    People ridicule what they just cant either understand or comprehend. A mass global strategy to run the world . . Crazy , except for the fact that its an official UN document that people think, in summary , sounds good, but couldn't be arsed debating where it might lead . .

    So the next time another "water charges" type thing comes up, you cant say you weren't warned. there is a global plan that Ireland is committed to whether you want to understand it or not. You can no longer say you weren't warned . .

    People don't know about it because it's just one of a billion E.U. 'strategies' that use the same wooly language 'sustainability' 'inclusivity' participatory' 'community' 'diversity' 'governance' etc

    The only people who pay much attention to it are those who are trying to draw down grant funding for community projects.

    Most of the programs are well meaning and they're a very long way way from any attempt to undermine democracy or force through social and economic changes against the will of the people.

    The European Commission, the Council, the Court of Justice and the ECB are the bodies who are capable of forcing governments to adopt policies that may not be in the interests of the citizens of that country, so if you're looking for something to be worried about, you should focus on the bodies that have the power and are using it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    There's a hell of a lot of stuff Irish people don't know about their own country or the workings of it's government, it doesn't automatically put it into the realm of sinister. I know people who'd struggle to know who the current president is and what they actually do.

    If it were something shady and secret then it shouldn't have been exposed by a 2 second Google search.

    Among other things allows corporations to sue governments if their policies affect their profits. e.g. Phillip Morris sues Australian Govt. for introducing blank labeled cigarrettes, Toll company in Limerick sues for not acheiving expected profits etc. etc.

    ooohhh, scary stuff indeed, eliminating poverty, hunger, climate change and sustainable devlopment.

    I'm going to get my bunker ready, RIGHT NOW!!!!!11!!one!eleventyone!!!

    So you read in the summary "eliminating poverty, hunger and sustainable development" and that's all you needed to hear ? The specifics of how they are going to implement this strategy or how it will effect you or your family isn't really a concern?

    "By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise."

    "All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach."

    Quotes by the fictitious baddy Adolf Hitler who we all know didn't rise to power and nearly take over the Europe after writing a book about creating a master race....

    But we are so much more informed nowadays right ? So much informed that most of the people reading this are thanking those ridiculing the post, without actually understanding anything about how this global strategy is going to effect them . .

    Ah yes, the people of modern society are far too intelligent to be fooled into a major global strategy that they know nothing about . . That's the stuff of fiction and what happens in history is never repeated . . And even if this UN document is fact, sure it must be good if Ireland is implementing it and its about world hunger and all that sort of stuff ?!

    Never mind the haters OP.
    They see a wall of text and the words "this is not a conspiracy theory" and thus the conclusion is made - it is indeed a conspiracy theory.
    You keep informing the masses.

    Not sure if that's sarcastic or not but I posted this thread for myself. .

    Reminds me how bad people have gotten at being objective or even open minded about certain factual things right on front of them. Also a good reminder of how bad this generation is at debating or discussing serious topics.

    The most thanks in this thread has been somebody saying something witty about wheetabix . . I don't expect everybody to take it seriously and it is After Hours forum, but its a fascinating insight into how these kind of global strategies could very easily be implemented over time. People simply don't have the foresight to consider where these kind of strategies may lead and don't actually want to think about it.

    “First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win.” Gandhi

    While it may seem dramatic to quote Gandhi, its quite apt for this thread. Most people are ignorant or oblivious to Agenda 21. This is a globally agreed framework of how we are going to be able to live our lives in the 21st century! A lot of people have ridiculed and called it a conspiracy even though its a factual document being implemented around the world ( I even posted links showing that Ireland is actively implementing the strategies).

    My issue isn't the idea of solving the world problems, but its the implementation of it without the knowledge of the people. That's not democracy, that's somebody else deciding what is best for us. Can people not actually understand it ? Do people not understand that once we allow somebody else to tell us how we should live (because we are actively complying, they don't have to make it mandatory) that over time there is literally nothing to stop them re-educating us to comply in many other aspects of life?
