The Periphery is Failing

- Chris Martenson -

i took your advice and looked into the ACL. What i came up with was rather disappointing. There was no end to the things that they are against, but there was no statement of what they stand for, though that could be inferred from what they are against.

The entire gist of it would appear to be that they are against Agenda 21, a non-binding U.N. action plan to promote sustainable growth. It would seem to me that Niki does not get what non-binding means. If it were a binding agreement, it is highly unlikely that virtually every member nation would have agreed to it. i mean, from what is on the ACL site, they believe that the plan calls for national governments to give up their sovereignty and let's get real here, there is no way that 168 countries would ever agree to that; especially since quite a few of them were ruled by dictators who have shown themselves ready to murder their own citizens in large numbers rather than relinquish power. So why would they have willingly given it up to the U.N.? It makes no sense.

There does not appear to be anything in the U.N. agreement that requires everyone over the age of 18 to register for the draft. And why would there be? This is a plan for individual cities or regions, not national governments. [Rangle's bill to bring back the draft was a crass political ploy in response to America's needlessly expensive war in Iraq (heavy reliance on contractors) and got voted down tout de suite.]

With regard to the supposed notion that your assets are not really yours, what is meant by that is nothing new. There is nothing in Agenda 21 that states that you must hand over your gold if the local government asks for it. The ACL would seem to be making much ado about the long and well established principle of imminent domain. i do not know of any jurisdiction anywhere in the world where the government cannot expropriate your land if they believe it is in the public interest. This goes back hundreds of years and was not something cooked up in Rio in '92.

And i must say that i was disheartened to find one of the contributors is Gary Kah. If ever there was a Jew hating crackpot with a strong messianic complex, Kah fills the bill. i loathe all religious zealots with a passion and i reserve a special level of hatred for that supercilious asshole.

Do not get me wrong, for i am as an iconoclastic an individual that you will ever meet and someone who definitely marches to the beat of my own drummer. And i most certainly agree that one should be as self reliant as possible. But i in no way feel my individuality to be threatened in the slightest by those who would promote sustainable development. Indeed, i believe sustainable development is a good thing, not some evil to be combatted.

Beginning of the headline :For years we've preached the "From the Outside In" principle of markets: When trouble starts, it nearly always does so out in the weaker periphery before creeping towards the core. We saw this in the run-up to the housing bubble collapse, as sub-prime mortgages gave way before prime loans, and in Europe, as smaller economies like Greece, Ireland, and Cyprus have fallen first and hardest (so far). We see this today in accelerating food stamp use among poorer U.S. households. In each case, the wea... Read More
