    Op has proven that something that is in the public domain is something that most people don't care about, that's all.

    So people don't care about it yet you're spamming this thread and posters are ridiculing the OP. Then you say it belongs in conspiracy theories even though you then say it's in the public domain. You're all over the place lad. It's what happens when you try to conceal/lie about what you're truly thinking.

    Not spamming any thread, just pointing out that what he is making of this is nothing but a conspiracy theory. The 9-11 attacks are in the public domain but the "truthers" threads belong in the CT forum. So does this.

    No, it's a stated agenda...called Agenda 21. You're just being a contrary for the sake of it Timbo. Also, Governments are well capable of acting against their own peoples best interests to further their own interests. History is littered with the corpses to prove this. If you consider that "a conspiracy Theory" too, have a look at a book with "History of the 20th century.." somewhere in its title. Almost any one at all will do.

    It's an agenda, No one is disputing this agenda exists, It's the fact op has taken this and run with it and come up with all sorts of crazy Hypotheses that makes it a conspiracy theory.

    So, you agree it is an actual agenda? Neatly written down in minute detail. Good stuff. Taking that, and the fact if someone states an "agenda", then that's generally a fair indication of actual future intent, which bit is he "running with"? Hogan bulled through the Agenda on Water, and was rewarded with a plum job in Europe. That's one blatant example - "following the Agenda".. which bits are "conspiracy theories"?

    Yeh, I am not sure the bolded bit is remotely true in anyway. I don't know anybody who actually knows or understands anything about Agenda 21 and you are being very generous suggesting that most of the posters in this thread knew anything about it. .

    I'm begining to doubt your reading comprehension skills now.
    I specifically said that I cannot speak for any other poster in this thread, but that I remember hearing about the conference in the news.
    And you take that to imply that I suggest most other posters do as well?
    I suppose the least the government could do is impress upon everybody how important this document is. You need only look at how they communicate during a referendum to see how they can get a message across to the people when they are motivated to do so.

    How much have you heard about the Lisbon treaty since it's been ratified?
    And that only entered into force in 2009, 5 years ago.

    You are talking about a conference and agreement that's been in place for over 20 years.
    You are indeed correct that we don't need to know about every little thing that our government does or agrees with the EU, UN or whoever, but this document isn't just a plant more trees and we will all be grand document.

    Its about our way of life. It is a roadmap of how we will be governed and how humanity will be guided in the 21st century.

    Are we talking about the Agenda 21 now or the European Convention of Human Rights?
    Because the above is true for both, and people in the street know next to nothing about either of them.
    I will ask you again, don't you think its strange that the majority of people know nothing about the agreed global roadmap that's been set out for humanity ? Not even a little bit strange ? We learn and are educated in Irish in school for a decade, we learn historical information so we know how lucky we are and how proud we should be about our heritage . . Yet we get no education or information to help us understand the direction that our country will be taking in the 21st century ? Put a couple of snippets here and there is more then enough ?

    More people in Ireland probably know the first names of Jedward then the global plans of our species that are effecting us all daily and will change our lives . .

    People know either what they want to know, what they are interested in knowing or what they are forced to know. People are interested in the Irish Water debacle not because its interesting but because its an issue that's on front of them daily, that they hear about daily and is directly effecting them now.

    People simply don't understand the potential ramifications of this document and nobody has really made any effort to try and explain any potential downside to it (every plan has knock on effects to people). .

    No, I am not the least bit surprised.

    When the Lisbon treaty was rejected in the first referendum, based on issues that were not even mentioned in the actual treaty, I was still a little surprised at how gullible the general electorate actually is.
    When the treaty was changed, and the changed version was put up in the next referendum, I heard so many people claim that they will be "made to vote until they vote the way the government wants" that I actually lost all illusions about how informed people are about national politics.
    The fact that people don't give a fiddler's about a decades old international voluntary agreement doesn't strike me as peculiar in any way at all.

    From the op (Did you even read it or just jump in at the last page?):rolleyes:
    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.

    Actually sums up the response of most people to this information . .

    I find it fascinating how intimidated people are by this thread, reverting to insults and "witty" humour to hide their inability to objectively discuss the actual ramifications of an agenda that is actively being implemented in Ireland . .

    You're lying about the 'implications of this policy. All the CT websites say that Agenda 21 plans to abolish private property and the family unit. It's total and utter nonsense, paranoid drivvel that has nothing at all to do with reaity.

    But even if that was their plan all along. Do you honestly think that the ordinary people wouldn't notice that owning property was suddenly illegal, or that they could no longer operate in a nuclear family unit?

    It's a load of utter bollox

    Agenda 21 is a high level strategy for how governments should meet the challenges of a world with environmental degredation and a population approaching 9 billion by 2050

    Urban planning is a major component of this. Planning cities to have high density and access to good quality public transport is obviously a better idea than no planning at all which we have seen results in urban sprawl, pollution, gridlock, poor public transport, poor quality public space, poor quality housing, insufficient access to essential services like schools, healthcare, policing, recreation etc etc etc

    Agenda 21 was about putting together a framework by which local planning authorities can benchmark their own area development plans to see if they meet with the international best practise. It's non binding but it's a useful tool for planners to set out guidelines for responsible development

    Regarding the allegations that the state will take our children, that's just nutjobbery of the looniest kind. It seems to have 'inferred' from a paranoid interpretation of the section on young people that says all states should try and ensure that all young people have access to education and to ensure that young people of both genders are politically and economically engaged and that children are protected from domestic abuse and from economic slavery as much as possible

    http://www.unep.org/Documents.multilingual/Default.asp?DocumentID=52&ArticleID=73&l=en

    The right wing conservatives in the U.S. probably hate this because they think state sponsored education is indoctrination (while religiously dominated 'home schooling' is perfectly fine) and they also think it's every parents right to 'disipline' their child by physical means in line with a conservative version of christianity.
    'He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes' is just one of many passages that mandates parents to beat their children. Modern enlightened parenting practises recognise that physical abuse of children is counter productive and there are much better ways to educate children on right and wrong that do not involve abusing them physically or mentally.

    Jesus

    The word 'agenda' does not automatically imply conspiracy. Every formal meeting has an agenda. The agenda is the structure of the meeting. Agenda 21 is an outline for a sustainable world.

    The real conspiracy here is from right wing fruitcakes trying to undermine attempts by the sane people in the world to plan for the future.

    It's denialism taken to extreme levels of idiocy. Any attempt to collectively plan for the future is automatically a conspiracy for a 'one world government'
