The Shift Episode 34: Property Rights and Agenda 21 with Tom Deweese

In this episode, host Doug McKenty explores the imposition of long term planning on local communities worldwide through a United Nations program known as Agenda 21. Tom Deweese, president of the American Policy Center and author of Sustainable: The War on Free Enterprise, Private Property and Individuals, discusses how the UN uses a combination of NGOs, public-private partnerships and elite foundations, to circumvent democracy under the guise of saving the environment. Listen in as he reveals the long term goal of literally herding people into megacities, where all aspects of our lives will be controlled by appointed regional councils and our future determined, not by our choices, but by the scientific determinations of a technocratic elite. While this agenda is touted as necessary for the preservation of the planet, Tom reveals how the arguments for sustainability and diversity fall flat as the real endgame results in a world controlled by the few, while the many are resigned to live life under the constant eye of SMART technology, no longer free to determine the course of our own existence.
