Thank you so much for those links. My city does belong to the ICLEI and I am hopping mad. I am letting everyone know....
They should be confronted in public and asked to explain why they are paying your taxes to support a foreign organizaation.
ICLEI is a UN accredited Non Governmental Organization (NGO) that implements the Action Plan of Agenda 21. In fact, on their own website (under the “Programs” section), they state, “Our campaigns, programs, and projects promote Local Agenda 21 as a participatory, long-term, strategic planning process that addresses local sustainability while protecting global common goods.”
* Cities pay dues in order to obtain direction from ICLEI in establishing local policy and law. This is a violation of the Constitution, Article 1, Section 10: “No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance or Confederation…”
* ICLEI is funded by the David Rockefeller Fund, United States EPA, etc.ICLEI targets mayors- in the ‘“Cool Mayor’ program, and other local officials to implement Agenda 21.
* ICLEI provides toolkits for action on local, state and national levels. Their objectives are dressed up in soft language, so as not to alert people to the true intention.
* ICLEI was founded in 1990 as the ‘International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives’. The Council was established when more than 200 local governments from 43 countries convened at our inaugural conference, the World Congress of Local Governments for a Sustainable Future, at the United Nations in New York.
CLEI, when implemented, creates new local laws and city planning requirements that restrict economic development and personal freedom. Some examples include:
* Crowding and highrise, high density housing scams
* Water usage restrictions wherein violations could result in fines, and there are programs for people to rat on their neighbors
* Monitoring business and individuals’ energy usage. Many new buildings have thermostats that are controlled remotely, offsite.
