Nobody explains Agenda 21 better than the leaders of nations where Communitarian principles for justice are already the basis of their national law. This China-EU business speech in November 2009 explains the actions of the Chinese at Copenhagen in December 2009.

Speech by H.E. Wen Jiabao, Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China At the Fifth China-EU Business Summit, Nanjing, 30 November 2009, Your Excellency Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, Your Excellency President José Manuel Barroso, Ladies and Gentlemen,

Dear Friends,

It gives me great pleasure to attend the Fifth China-EU Business Summit. I wish to take this opportunity to express deep respect and heartfelt thanks to people from all sectors who have over the years made significant contribution to the growth of China-EU economic and trade relations and friendship between the people of China and Europe. At this crucial moment in tackling the international financial crisis, it is important to further enhance economic and trade cooperation between China and Europe. This will contribute not only to the growth of our own economies but also to the steady recovery and enduring prosperity of the world economy. I sincerely wish this Business Summit a complete success.

The theme of the Summit, "The Green Agenda: Sustaining Growth Beyond the Recovery", addresses an important area where we can enhance China-EU cooperation. A review of world industrialization over the last 200 years or more shows that the modernization of developed countries, with a population of no more than one billion, was achieved at a great cost to the resources and ecology of the whole world. A famous line from the World Conservation Strategy reads, "We have not inherited the earth from our parents; we have borrowed it from our children." To leave to future generations a planet where they can survive and thrive, we need to put in place a circular and sustainable system of national economy that generates high output with low input, low consumption and low emissions. We need to transform the existing patterns of development and consumption and move the world to a development path characterized by high productivity, prosperous lives and sound ecology.

In an effort to create a better home for the human race, the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development adopted two guiding documents, the Rio Declaration and Agenda 21, as well as a statement of principles on forests. It also opened for signature the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Convention on Biological Diversity. Since then, the concept of a "green culture" has drawn intense attention from countries around the world, and sustainable development has become a consensus of the international community. The Kyoto Protocol adopted in 1997 and the Bali Road Map established in 2007 defined the responsibilities of countries at different stages of development in addressing climate change, giving rise to a global "green wave" emphasizing harmony between economic development and the environment. The upcoming Copenhagen Conference represents another important moment in international action on climate change. The willingness and commitments expressed by countries at Copenhagen will promote a historic shift towards green economy and sustainable development. The Chinese government will take an active and constructive part in the Conference and looks forward to a positive outcome at Copenhagen. {emphasis added}

Are you new to Global Land Management Law? Don't have time to study all the government documents and academic papers at this site? Unfamiliar with the language and looking for an easy introduction to this complex topic? We wrote this book just for you: 2020: Our Common Destiny.

Welcome to the supranational system

"The world needs a new global architecture, additional layers of governance, to deal with issues that neither nations nor traditional forms of intergovernmental organizations can cope with." ("Europe, A Beautiful Idea" by Amitai Etzioni, September 2004 conference at the Hague)

The communitarian plan for reinventing a global government was adopted by the UN in 1992 at the Earth Summit. There were no public votes cast for or against it in any of the affected "free" nations. Average citizens were not consulted. In most free and democratic countries, the nation's taxpayers (who pay for it) were never even told about it. The major media outlets were mostly silent while for thirteen years, the UN's LA-21 laws have been imposed on all 166 member nations.

There were no big discussions of its purpose or ultimate consequences. It just slid into law. It's really pretty amazing. No major editorials, no explanation of how it would be imposed, it was barely announced by the national governments who endorsed it. Only a few enlightened locals understand LA-21 requires a total reorganization of government systems. It eliminates individual rights in the free countries. National systems of political economy are subserviant to LA-21 laws.

The plans are generally thought of as a "good thing." So few people bother to read their new vision for community, even if they know there's a plan. Why should they? It's presented by experts, and none of us common folks are experts, are we? Besides, really nice people promote it as a just, scientific, holistic, grass-roots, non-threatening way of cleaning up the world and making it a friendlier place. The barriers are outdated national governments and the millions of selfish people who cling to the idea of local rule. The entire world must be merged into a communitarian system. Because so many resist, it's best if only a few know about it until the integration process is complete.

"One must act 'as if' in Europe: as if one wanted only very few things, in order to obtain a great deal. As if nations were to remain sovereign, in order to convince them to surrender their sovereignty. The Commission in Brussels, for example, must act as if it were a technical organism, in order to operate like a government ... and so on, camouflaging and toning down. The sovereignty lost at national level does not pass to any new subject. It is entrusted to a faceless entity: NATO, the UN and eventually the EU. The Union is the vanguard of this changing world:it indicates a future of Princes without sovereignty. The new entity is faceless and those who are in command can neither be pinned down nor elected ... That is the way Europe was made too: by creating communitarian organisms without giving the organisms presided over by national governments the impression that they were being subjected to a higher power. That is how the Court of Justice as a supra-national organ was born. It was a sort of unseen atom bomb, which Schuman and Monnet slipped into the negotiations on the Coal and Steel Community. That was what the 'CSC' itself was: a random mixture of national egotisms which became communitarian. I don't think it is a good idea to replace this slow and effective method - which keeps national States free from anxiety while they are being stripped of power - with great institutional leaps - Therefore I prefer to go slowly, to crumble pieces of sovereignty up litle by little, avoiding brusque transitions from national to federal power. That is the way I think we will have to build Europe's common policies..." - Italian Prime Minister Giuliano Amato, later Vice-President of the EU Constitutional Convention, interview with Barbara Spinelli, La Stampa, 13 July 2000. Posted in a great list of quotes compiled by Free Europe.org.

"UN Local Agenda 21 is the foundation for the international sustainable development movement, a "great institutional leap."

"The official purpose for sustainable development was defined by the United Nations. Today this is the exact same definition used by all U.S. government agencies.

"As was explained in the previous steps, developing a viable LA21 requires a working partnership between the local government and the local community. This is done through a series of passive and active means: Passive means include newspapers, TV, radio, posters and brochures, notice boards, Internet mailing lists, etc. Active means are more interactive and involving, and include meetings and seminars, workshops, voting and referendums, competitions, exhibitions etc.

"These exercises are essentially aimed at visioning and scenario building, where participants are encouraged to visualize the type of community that they would like to live in the future. Such scenario building is also useful later to develop indicators against which progress can be measured.

"A whole range of organizations and institutions are targeted for involvement: green clubs, citizens and neighbourhood groups, universities and research institutions, local chambers of commerce, guild and individual firms, and other 'stakeholders' in the local environment.

"The techniques and methodologies used in involving the local community in planning the LA21 is critical for public acceptance. Transparency in activities being undertaken, local environmental information, information on other local Agenda 21, best practices and good ideas, etc. are important ingredients in the process."

Here's why the ACL includes UN Local Agenda 21 in its research topics:

Communitarianism is the political theory that supports LA-21 redevelopment. We are anti-communitarians, which means we oppose the dialectical ideology that insists the globalists hold the power to rebuild the world into one imperial community under supreme COMMUNITARIAN LAW.

Coming here from outside the U.S.?

If you are coming here from outside the United States, please know that we are openly opposed to communitarian laws and plans. This site does not support eliminating nations in order to form a one world community government.

Many nations, from Cuba to Romania to Ecuador to New Zealand, have established communitarian development integral programs like the Ministerio de Energia y Minas. There are hundreds of international communitarian development volunteer programs (for well-to-do Western whites), and communitarian development schools are rapidly popping up all over the world, like the Waikato Management School- A Model for Communitarian Approach to Accountability for Sustainable Development There are even Communitarian development consultants. It appears the ONLY place in the world where it is not openly identified as "communitarian development" is in the United States where communitarian anything is in direct violation of constitutional law. Communitarian development is often disguised as global giving. The oldest professional "givers" are in the UK and across the "former" British Empire. It's always taught as An Emancipatory Communitarian Approach to Vocational Development Theory, Research, and Practice. For Western defined "third world economies," communitarian development signals the final death blow to poor, indigenous people. The United Nations Organisation pour la promotion et l'épanouissement de la femme nigérienne "Rayouwan Mata" is a false front for global slavery and minority oppression. It uses inequality and famine to promote Western Zionist Communitarian Development "principles."

Many nationals come here after searching for specific country's Local Agenda 21 Plans. If you agree with us, or if there is any organized local resistance in your country against your Plan, we'd like to know. From the number of visitors lately, it appears this powerful and important legal document is finally getting the national attention it deserves. Every country in the world has a Local Agenda 21 blueprint, even though many remain unfinished. We link to several of them here if you cannot find yours online. We appreciate links to opposition sites from anywhere in the world. It's not only our country that will disappear under this plan. Iraq had one before Operation Freedom, and hardly any of their plan was filled in. This really is the plan for a global government. The entire world is at risk.

I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.
Will Rogers (1879-1935)

1. How U.N. Agenda 21 is directly tied to the U.S.:

Many thanks to Marlene for alerting us to the disappearing links from this page. Much of this page was researched in 2004-6, and as often happens on the internet, pages change addresses. I can usually locate the missing documents somewhere else on line, but in some instances, like the case with Herbert Traub, US Adviser, his information has been completely purged from the US Department of State's website. A quick read/search of the UN's fifty seventh session-2002 also does not produce a copy of Mr. Traub's Statement. But a search at the UN for Herbert Traub produces 73 results, showing seven, and none of them are Traub's statement. Now I wish I would have made copies of everything I ever linked to from our website, because whatever Mr. Traub did say on Nov 14, 2002 before the Second Commitee is no longer available from the official source sites. I tried to find out more about Traub himself but there's nothing to speak of anywhere online... just references to his position remain in UN documents. Who was he?

The Communitarians came to the United States to "shore up the moral, social and political environment."

Is this all just a silly conspiracy theory?

After the ACL found Agenda 21 in 2000, we asked everyone in Seattle government if the Roosevelt Neighborhood Plan was a UN Local Agenda 21 Plan. They all assured us they had no idea what we were talking about. Former Bellevue Councilmember Nancy Rising, (who was an enormous assistance in our quest for answers) took the ACL to visit several Seattle Councilmembers, including Seattle City Councilmember Margaret Pageler. Today Pageler's website openly states: "The City of Seattle works for sustainable development at the local and regional level, in a program that parallels Local Agenda 21. The City Council endorsed the Earth Charter in a 2002 resolution."

Feb 20, 2008: Eight years after I started asking everyone in my city, county, state and federal government about Agenda 21, after living with their "conspiracy theorist" label because I claimed there was a UN plan to rebuild the U.S. (and the whole world), I learned of the following 2 resolutions presented in the U.s. Congress. This information just came to me in Jan 2008 from Gisela at Alaskans Against the NAIs (National Animal Identification System). I don't know how I missed it, but I was moving pretty fast in those early days when I was building these pages. Another possiblity is I never looked for the legislation because they were so adament in their rebuttals.. some of them laughed right in my face. I sure wish this update had been on this page for the thousands of Americans who've visited us in the past five years.

In April, 1992 the U.s. Congress made plans for U.S. participation.

H.CON.RES.292
Title: Expressing the sense of the Congress with respect to United States participation in the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). Sponsor: Rep Fascell, Dante B. [FL-19] (introduced 3/12/1992) Cosponsors (37) Related Bills: S.CON.RES.89 Latest Major Action: 4/7/1992 Passed/agreed to in Senate.

Calls on the President to recognize June 5, 1992, as World Environment Day.

Declares that the President should not support any action or undertake any commitment pursuant to this Act that would adversely affect the competitiveness of American industry or that would result in a net long-term loss of American jobs.

The U.S. system of government is designed to protect and maintain individual rights:

"All political power is inherent in the people, and governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and are established to protect and maintain individual rights." (Article One, Section One, Washington State Constitution http://www.courts.wa.gov/education/constitution/index). LA-21 modifies legitimate national laws, programs, and policies that conflict with the plan.

In October 1992 the U.S. Congress decided the U.S. should "assume a strong leadership role" in LA21.

102d CONGRESS, 2d Session, H. CON. RES. 353
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c102:H.CON.RES.353:

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of the Congress that the United States should assume a strong leadership role in implementing the decisions made at the Earth Summit by developing a national strategy to implement Agenda 21 and other Earth Summit agreements through domestic policy and foreign policy, by cooperating with all countries to identify and initiate further agreements to protect the global environment, and by supporting and participating in a high-level United Nations Sustainable Development Commission.

Whereas the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (hereinafter in this preamble referred to as `UNCED'), known as the Earth Summit, assembled in June of 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the largest summit of heads of state in history and outlined a comprehensive action plan for environmentally sustainable development, known as Agenda 21;

Whereas the United States has a strong national interest in the environmental sustainability of global economic development, and many pressing environmental and economic problems are inherently transboundary and not susceptible to resolution by the actions of any single nation acting alone;

Whereas Agenda 21, a plan of national and international actions to integrate environment and development, negotiated and adopted by the United States and 177 other countries, offers a significant starting point for continuing progress in avoiding environmental degradation and social and economic disintegration in the 21st century;

Whereas the role of the United States, as a major economic force and a country that has long been in the forefront of environmental protection activities nationally and internationally, should be one of leadership and positive action in the implementation process of Agenda 21 and all decisions of UNCED;

Whereas Agenda 21 urges all governments to adopt national strategies for sustainable development;

Whereas Agenda 21 urges all countries to `make significant progress' in incorporating environmental costs into economic decisions, to undertake research or sustainable production methods and consumption patterns, and to undertake other actions to make their economies more environmentally sustainable;

Whereas Agenda 21 calls for a `supportive international climate for achieving environment and development goals,' by `providing adequate financial resources to developing countries and dealing with international debt,' and calls for `the reallocation of resources presently committed to military purposes' to support United States policies and the efforts of developing countries to implement Agenda 21;

Whereas UNCED recommended that a high-level United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (hereinafter in this preamble referred to as the `Commission') be established by the 47th United Nations General Assembly to provide a vital forum in which the member states of the United Nations may review progress made by considering reports from national governments, international organizations, and nongovernmental organizations;

Whereas the United States was an active and positive participant in UNCED negotiations regarding the Commission, and will play a major role in the decisions of the 47th United Nations General Assembly regarding the specific modalities and effectiveness of the Commission;

Whereas the agreements adopted at UNCED are milestones toward the achievement of environmentally sustainable economic development and for holding governments accountable for progress toward integrating environment and development;

Whereas many opportunities for agreements concerning more extensive actions on critical issues remained unresolved at UNCED and will require further attention by the nations of the world; and

Whereas the ultimate success of achieving sustainable development and a healthy environment at the national and international levels depends upon actions taken at the State and local community levels, and on actions by schools, public offices, businesses, and citizens: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that--

(1) effective follow-up to achieve the many goals of the agreements reached at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (hereinafter in this resolution referred to as `UNCED') will depend on the following actions by the President and the United States Government:

(A) The United States should adopt a national strategy for environmentally sustainable development, based on an extensive process of nationwide consultations with all interested organizations and individuals, including State and local governments, nongovernmental organization, businesses, and labor groups.

(B) The United States Government should encourage and facilitate, at all levels of community and sectors of society, appropriate means for adopting individual Agenda 21 plans of action, including the establishment of local, county, State, business, and other boards and commissions for achieving sustainable development. Each member of the Congress should help initiate this process within their States or districts.

(C) The President should establish an effective mechanism to plan, initiate, and coordinate United States policy for implementing Agenda 21. Responsibility should be vested in a duly constituted office, headed by an appropriate high level official, and the necessary staff support structure should be provided.

(D) Policies should be formulated for foreign policy and foreign assistance in order to help developing countries, and for domestic actions in order to assure appropriate action by the United States to implement Agenda 21;

(2) in order to contribute to a transition to a sustainable United States economy, the research and policy initiatives urged in Agenda 21 should be pursued, including research on sustainable consumption and production patterns, creation of a policy framework for sustainable consumption patterns, identification of a strategy to eliminate or reduce subsidies for unsustainable natural resource exploitation, and to improve pricing policies;

(3) the Congress should adopt a plan to reallocate an appropriate amount of savings from reduced defense spending in order to achieve its goals of global environmental protection and sustainable development over the next decade;

(4) the President should urge and actively participate in new and existing multilateral efforts aimed at creating a more favorable international economic climate for developing countries to practice sustainable development, and such efforts should include international consultations regarding reduction in developing country debt linked with environmental policy reforms, and increased loans and concessional assistance upon development and implementation of national sustainable development strategies in developing countries;

(5) the United States should actively support, at the 47th United Nations General Assembly, the effective establishment of a high-level United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (hereinafter in this resolution referred to as the `Commission'), including the establishment of provisions for meaningful participation by organizations of the United Nations system, international financial institutions, and other relevant intergovernmental organizations and nongovernmental organizations recommended by UNCED;

(6) the President should affirm strong United States commitment to the Commission by appointing a high-level representative from the United States to the Commission, and by encouraging the United Nations Secretary General to appoint an Under Secretary General for Sustainable Development to coordinate the implementation of Agenda 21 in the United Nations system and to head the secretariat support structure for the Commission;

(7) the President should submit a national report to the Commission on activities the United States has undertaken to implement Agenda 21, both domestically and internationally, on progress made toward fulfilling other commitments undertaken at UNCED, and on other environmental and developmental issues that the United States finds relevant, and should strongly encourage all United Nations members to submit national reports;

(8) the United States should encourage the Commission to call for periodic international meetings to continue the process toward developing and advancing international agreement to facilitate sustainable economic development for the protection of the global environment and the promotion of human dignity of current and future generations; and

(9) the President should submit an annual report to the Congress on the steps taken by the United States to implement Agenda 21 and the recommendations made by this resolution, and should make information regarding such steps available to members of the Congress upon their request.

Passed the House of Representatives October 2, 1992.

Here's a chronology of legislation used to implement LA21 in the U.S.A. from CRS: Global Climate Change:

100th Congress
The 100th Congress enacted the Global Climate Protection Act as Title XI of H.R. 1777 of P.L. 100-204, assigning Department of State and the Environmental Protection Agency the responsibility to develop a coordinated national policy on global climate protection and containing other measures for coordination, research, and international cooperation.

lOlst Congress
In the lOlst Congress, interest widened among Members and committees of relevant jurisdiction that sought to acquire information from all sides of the scientific debate over possible global climate warming, to evaluate the potential economic and strategic impacts on the United States of a warmer climate, and to assess the adequacy of the Federal organizational base for conducting scientific research and policy studies. Seventy-three bills, resolutions, concurrent resolutions, and amendments dealing with global climate and atmospheric change were introduced in the lOlst Congress.' There were major enactments that dealt with global warming issues in legislation on: foreign aid decisions and U.S. foreign lending policies (P.L. 101-167, P.L. 101-240, P.L. 101-513); clean air (P.L. 101-549); Department of Defense environmental research and activities (P.L. 101-189, P.L. 101-510); water resources (P.L. 101-397); taxation (P.L. 101-239, P.L. 101-508); agriculture and forestry (P.L. 101-624); and Federal organization (P.L. 101-6061. For further information, see CRS Report 91-359 SPR, Global Climate Change and the lOlst Congress: A Review of Legislation.

102nd Congress
Congressional interest and concern about climate and global change continued during 102nd Congress. There was interest among the relevant congressional committees in overseeing congressionally mandated efforts to improve coordination among Federal agencies conducting scientific research in atmospheric change and policy research in impacts assessment and response strategies. Congress also closely followed the progress of U.N. negotiations for achieving a framework convention on global climate and sent a parliamentary delegation to the Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro, in June. The Senate consented to ratification of the Convention [Treaty Doc. 102-381; the instrument of ratification was signed by the President on Oct. 13, 1992. On the legislative agenda, there was a noticeable shift toward formulating response strategies. A number of bills were considered with provisions that indirectly affect the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases or that deal directly in a variety of approaches to reduce the rate of generation of greenhouse gases. Other legislation focused on developing accommodation and mitigation measures for climate change, to the extent that global warming occurs. Seventy-one measures relating to global climate change were introduced during the 102nd Congress. Some legislation introduced in the first session was revisited in the second with further hearings, mark- up sessions, or reintroduced as original bills or substituting amendments.

Eight major bills relating to global climate change were enacted in the 102nd Congress. In the first session, these include the Foreign Relations Authorization Act for FY1992-1993 (P.L. 102-138), which expressed the sense of the Congress regarding negotiations of the U.N. International Negotiating Committee and a framework convention on climate change; Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development and Other Sundry Agencies Appropriations Act for FYI992 (P.L. 102-139), which included funding for EPA and NASA for greenhouse gas, global warming, and stratospheric ozone depletion research and NASA funding for the Consortium for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) to assess policy options to address global climate change; Foreign Operations, Export Financing and Related Programs Appropriations Act for FYI992 (P.L. 102-163), which set forth restrictions on U.S. foreign aid through a Global Warming Initiative; and the National Aeronautic and Space Administration Authorization Act for FYI992 (P.L. 102-1951, which enhanced global change research activities within NASA and improved data collection, archival, and dissemination of remotely sensed land data. In the second session, the Department of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development

... Appropriations Act for FYI993 (P.L. 102-389) continued funding of research on global warming and stratospheric ozone depletion for EPA and NASA and funded CIESIN through NASA and the White Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP); Foreign Operations, Export Financing and Related Programs Appropriations Act for FYI993 (P.L. 102-391) appropriated funds through AID to developing countries for reducing greenhouse gas emissions through a Global Warming Initiative, and through the World Bank's Global Environmental Facility for other U.S. obligations under environmental agreements; National Defense Authorization Act for FYI993 (P.L. 102-484) called for an evaluation of DOD use of Class I and I1 ozone-depleting substances, which include CFCs and Halons, and a subsequent report to Congress; National Energy Policy Act of 1992 (P.L. 102-486), Title XVI

-- Global Climate Change, called for the appointment of a Director of Climate Protection within DOE, several reports and analyses of greenhouse gas emissions including a national inventory, and voluntary reporting of greenhouse gas reductions. The title further established a Global Climate Change Response Fund as depository for US. contributions to a financial mechanism pursuant to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change. This Act also increased baseline taxes on certain uses of ozone-depleting substances.

In 2005 Individual rights would lose against community rights, five to four -- Homes may be 'taken' for private projects. Justices: Local governments can give OK if it's for public good by The Associated Press, June 23, 2005, at msnbc.msn.com. "WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that local governments may seize people's homes and businesses - even against their will - for private economic development.

It's impossible to negate the fact that there IS an organized plan for a global government. Local Agenda 21 is the blueprint for world government, and it's already being implemented across the globe. Just because most Americans have never heard of it doesn't mean it isn't real. It really doesn't get any more real than this.

All new communitarian laws that eliminate rights guaranteed by national constitutions are inside this international blueprint for rebuilding subserviant local political structures. Many of these spontaneous, grass-roots "visions" for rebuilding community plans are identical. And, none of them happened by "accident."

Joint Center for Sustainable Communities, U.S. Mayors

Not only has the U.S. government totally reinvented itself (and eliminated required checks and balances between branches of government under another communitarian creation called Homeland Security), but almost every state in the U.S. has implemented LA-21 set-up organizations. Most are doing it very quietly, but a few are bragging about doing it. An Earth Charter and Agenda 21 for Iowa posted by University of Iowa is not a "conspiracy theory."

Living Lakes and Agenda 21 freely calls it a UN plan, whereas Anchorage 2020 does not. (See Anchorage's Code Compliance Photo Gallery.)

"Without further ado, let the Business Action begin!"
"Paris, 3 May 2005 -- These were the words of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development 13 (UNCSD 13) Chair, John Ashe, when he opened the Business Action event, at the high-level segment of the annual conference in New York last week. Set in motion to demonstrate the business community's commitment to help resolve the global challenges on water and energy, Dr Ashe commended the initiative. "If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem," he said. "These initiatives show that business is part of the solution." He also encouraged business to increase its involvement in partnerships."

See also: Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy, NYU holds a Seminar on "Community Development Law," including "Property Theory: This seminar, taught by Professor Wyman, examines contemporary debates about property using a range of legal, historical, and philosophical materials. The seminar begins by considering four theoretical approaches to property law: the classic utilitarian justification for private property; the Lockean case for property; contemporary rights-based theories of property; and communitarian perspectives. The seminar applies these approaches to live controversies in areas such as environmental and intellectual property law. Drawing on the four theoretical perspectives, the seminar then addresses a range of topics, including property and economic development, the tragedy of the commons, the limits of property rights and markets, social norms, takings, and reparations."

The real agenda: Communitarians quietly (and illegally) balance U.S. laws in favor of the global sustainable developers. Our "new" law endorses free trade economics, promotes a quasi-religious blending with ideologies, and is based in ancient mysticism. The "moral" communitarians think they're above U.S. law. They ignore the fact that all changes to the U.S. Constitution must be pre-approved by 3/4 of the fifty united state's legislatures. Based on the available evidence, the ACL finds the entire Communitarian policy agenda is treason against the people of the United States. Our goal is to expose the Communitarian philosophy used by Libertarians, Republicans, Democrats, Greens, and bi-partisan Third Wayers. We want every voter in the world to recognize communitarian laws, buffer zones, players, policies, and "logic."

What is Communitarianism? Communitarianism is the over-all system used by the ruling elite to govern the globe in their emerging Supra-national World Order.
Communitarian "thinking" can be categorized into 11 primary disciplines: Philosophy, Law, History, Ideology, Religion, Natural Sciences, Politics, Education, Public Policy, Economics, and Social Theory. The ACL will (someday) reformat this entire site according to each of the above categories. Early ACL "explanations" of communitarianism show how hard it's been for us, as untrained writers, to introduce the main topic of communitarianism without getting lost in its hundreds of thousands of sub-topics (The Balance of Man, What the Communitarians Stand For, What in the World is Communitarianism?). Our interest in Etzioni and the communitarian system of law began when we learned about Community Policing. Dr. Etzioni led private "debates" to limit American's privacy.
