Tennessee and Arizona are leading the way in a movement by several states to stop the implementation of U.N. Agenda 21. Now that state governments are on the case we can all relax and forget about the threat to our liberties in the name of sustainable development, right? Not, at all.
The Arizona legislation would serve to stop state, county, and city governments from "adopting or implementing the creed, doctrine, principles or any tenet of the Declaration and the Statement of Principles for Sustainable Development"(AZ. SB 1507).
However, the sustainable development matrix already has backups in place.
Some of the backup organizations will hide under the cover of Economic Development. Who doesn't want Economic Development? Lets develop the economy and create jobs, yay! Foreign Trade Zones advertise the benefits to some businesses while destroying many others. Lastly, the Rural Council and the National Defense Resources Preparedness executive order, will be able to tie all loose ends in the move towards the Agenda 21 goal.
The truth is that Economic Development does not create jobs or increase production.
Economic development generally refers to the sustained, concerted actions of policymakers and communities that promote the standard of living and economic health of a specific area...Such actions can involve multiple areas including development of human capital, critical infrastructure, regional competitiveness, environmental sustainability, social inclusion, health, safety, literacy, and other initiatives...Whereas economic development is a policy intervention endeavor with aims of economic and social well-being of people, economic growth is a phenomenon of market productivity and rise in GDP.
