Comparing the text of SB479 and HB102: Note that the quote in block 4 for Tuscaloosa will tie the landowner to every international treaty that the Federal government has signed.

ENFORCEMENT

The most important aspect of the proposed legislation has been saved for last - "zoning". The definition of "zoning" takes on new meaning when you read the text of the proposed legislation. Working behind the scenes "proactive" forces seek to change the relationship between the citizen and local government. The speed with which the change is occurring is quickened by ignorant and lazy representatives. Local government will determine where we live i.e. "convenient distribution of population", what we believe is right and wrong i.e. "moral". A legal system that was suppose to dispense justice by punishing the evil doer, a Biblical principle found in verse 4 of Romans 13, is quickly transferring to a new foundation, called "Sustainable Development". From the local court to the highest judicial bench in our justice system, judges are now bound by the worldview contained in the newly ratified United Nations "Desertification" treaty. A new mindset is found in the local legislation, this is consistent with the new world view. Read carefully what local government is now responsible for. In the following text The Mustard Seed will connect other examples of "Sustainable Development".

Justice is dependent upon a proper foundation and equal application, without which injustice will prevail. These attributes were once the hallmark of our judicial system. No more! Read what's included in the plan for "zoning."

Relating the above quote to United Nations objectives may help in understanding the direction being taken by local government.

Present and future needs: it has never been the role of government to provide for the needs of even the present generation. To think that it may see to the needs of future generations is to add insult to injury. Our present Alabama Constitution, Article One, Section 35, defines the role of government as: "...the sole object and only legitimate end of government is to protect the citizen in the enjoyment of life, liberty, and property, and when the government assumes other functions it is usurpation and oppression" (Now you may understand better why the big push for a new constitution.) This concept of providing for current and future generations references the Bruntland Commission's definition of "sustainable development, i.e. "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."* Small communities are incorporating this concept into their mission statements. In 1994 New Pattonsburg, Missouri published a "Charter of Sustainability" in which they said: "We recognize our responsibility to plan for the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs." ** Other communities across the country have adopted similar statements.

Health: many quotes are available from UN literature. One that fits nicely is from the 1996 Habitat II conference held in Istanbul, Turkey: "136 (b) Adopt measures to prevent and control air, water and soil pollution and to reduce noise levels, where appropriate, and develop and ensure access to appropriate preventive and curative health-care systems in order to tackle related health problems." (emphasis added)

Safety: The following quote covers more than safety. "Objectives of this endeavor include protecting public health, providing for safety and security, education and social integration, promoting equality and respect for diversity and cultural identities, increased accessibility for persons with disabilities, and preservation of historic, spiritual, religious and culturally significant buildings and districts, respecting local landscapes and treating the local environment with respect and care." (Chapter II Goals and Principles paragraph 30 Habitat II Global Plan of Action. emphasis added)

Moral: The Tuscaloosa Land Use Plan does not include the term "moral", but the UN concurs with the Calhoun County "master plan".

"190. ...Societies that make the necessary investments in information technology and infrastructure and enable and empower their citizens to make effective use of such technology can expect to foster significant productivity gains in industry, trade and commerce. This improved information technology should be appropriately and optimally utilized to preserve and share cultural and moral values and enhance and improve education, training and public awareness of the social, economic and environmental issues affecting the quality of life, and to enable all interested parties and communities to exchange information on habitat practices, including those that uphold the rights of children, women and disadvantaged groups in the context of growing urbanization." (emphasis added)

Continuing to quote from the Global Plan of Action of Habitat II: you should be able to discern the correlation of similarities between the United Nations Agenda and local legislation. "Distribution of population" (HB102) and "urban density" (found in the next quote) are one and the same. Where you live will be decided by the "master plan". You should know that an executive order already gives FEMA the authority to relocate people in "an emergency."

paragraph 111 "To avoid unbalanced, unhealthy and unsustainable growth of human settlements, it is necessary to promote land use patterns that minimize transport demands, save energy and protect open and green spaces. Appropriate urban density and mixed land use guidelines are of prime importance for urban development. National, subnational and local policies and development plans must be carefully reexamined to ensure optimal land use and geographically better balanced economic development, including the protection of indispensable agricultural land; land that sustains biodiversity, water quality and groundwater recharge; fragile areas, including coastal areas; and other sensitive areas in need of protection." (emphasis added)

III 29 "Sustainability of human settlements entails their balanced geographical distribution or other appropriate distribution in keeping with national conditions, promotion of economic and social development, human health and education, and the conservation of biological diversity and the sustainable use of its components, and maintenance of cultural diversity as well as air, water, forest, vegetation and soil qualities at standards sufficient to sustain human life and well being for future generations."
