Excerpts:

Growing inequality, environmental decline and “teetering” economies mean the world must change the way it does business, a UN report concludes.

Health and education must improve, it says. Subsidies on fossil fuels should end, and governments must look beyond the standard economic indicator of GDP.

The High-Level Panel on Global Sustainability was established in 2010 by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

Its report will feed into discussions leading to the Rio+20 summit in June.

It is being launched in Addis Ababa by its two co-chairs, Finnish President Tarja Halonen and her South African counterpart Jacob Zuma.

“With the possibility of the world slipping further into recession, policymakers are hungry for ideas that can help them to navigate these difficult times,” said Mr Zuma.

“Our report makes clear that sustainable development is more important than ever given the multiple crises now enveloping the world.”

Subsidies that damage environmental integrity would be phased out by 2020. The UN estimates that governments spend more than $400bn each year subsidising fossil fuels, while OECD countries alone spend nearly the same amount on agricultural subsidies.

In parallel, access to energy, clean water, sanitation and food would be increased, meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and going beyond them.

When you hear folks talking about ‘global’ problems and ‘global’ solutions the devil is always in the details. Here are a few facts to consider after reading the above article:

• We do not elect anyone who works for the United Nations, nor can we have them removed from their positions should we discover they are corrupt or that they do not represent people but really represent global corporations!
• The United Nations was established by the globalists Rockefeller  and Rothschilds (oil and banking cartels)
• The idea of ‘partnerships’ between living people and corporations  is just a tactic of The Corporation’s ‘perception managers’.  (Public Relations people are nothing more than propagandists and truly are the scum of the earth! They distort truth and tell lies (spin) to the public for a living! They are without conscience.)
• In all cases, corporations need to be subservient to humans NOT partners with – as corporations are merely dead legal fiction profit-generating machines!
• The United Nation’s Millienium Development Goals   partners represent global corporate interests – not people. Just look at the partners listed: World Bank, World Trade Organization, International Monetary Fund. These are the same entities that John Perkins explained in his book Confessions of an Economic Hitman which describes the ongoing construction of the corporatacracy.

The people of the planet do have a common threat to us and our children’s future that the United Nations will NEVER mention, that is the growing global corporatacracy.

The Corporation was created by flesh and blood humans (lawyers and bankers), won the rights of humans after the passage of the 14th Amendment, and now this dead legal fiction has more power than the flesh and blood humans that created it. As it is merely a dead legal fiction it cannot deconstruct itself. It is up to us flesh and blood humans to recognize its destructiveness and create a new business model – one that works FOR humans and our natural earth NOT against us. The Corporation (with no limits to growth) is an exploitive Doom Machine that now considers us all to be merely “human resources” or corporate “team members”.

At the moment virtually ALL PROGRAMS coming from the United Nations are designed to advance globalization on behalf of the corporatacracy. For example, there have been so signs of the United Nations, the WTO or the World Health Organization  opposing Monsanto’s GMOs or terminator seeds!

The villanization of carbon dioxide is merely a ‘tool’ (Carbon Dioxide Doesn’t Cause Global Warming)  created by the globalists to find a way to create a global taxation system FOR the globalists.

Helena Norberg-Hodge gave a great 18 minute lecture on globalization.

Helena is so right. The issues that face us all right now are not right versus left but global versus local.  Here’s the trailer to her new film The Economics of Happiness: http://www.theeconomicsofhappiness.org/

Please consider sharing the above short clip. It demonstrates the incredible waste of resources/energy and increase in pollution that have resulted from globalization and the creation of a global corporatacracy. These are the very same issues the UN is attempting to address WITHOUT acknowledging the cause. The United Nations continues to waste its time negotiating with ‘governments’ who have long sense been over taken by the central bankers and their multi-national corporations!!

For Immediate Release:
January 26, 2012

DAVOS-KLOSTERS, SWITZERLAND

This January 26th, the water industry will privately review its newest strategy for driving public water resources into private hands at the World Economic Forum. A partnership quietly launched in October with funding from the World Bank, Coca-Cola and Veolia will report on progress towards its stated mission to “transform the water sector” by establishing “new normative approaches to water governance” that put the private sector in the driver’s seat in water management.

Calling itself the Water Resources Group (WRG) and headed by Nestlé Chairman Peter Brabeck-Letmathei, the corporation has already targeted the countries of Mexico, Jordan, India and South Africa to “shape and test governance processes” that would make water privatization more feasible and profitable. The fact that the Group has not invited publicity, and the Bank was unwilling to comment upon its launch, underscores how controversial its founders know the endeavor to be.

“The cognitive dissonance could not be clearer,” said Corporate Accountability International Executive Director Kelle Louaillier. “Amid a global water crisis, exacerbated by one failed privatization scheme after another, a development institution is aggressively advancing narrow industry interests to the detriment of poverty alleviation.”

Corporate Accountability International and its allies see the WRG as an outgrowth of longstanding Bank ideology and financing practices. For close to three decades the Bank’s corporate investment arm, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), where the Group is now housed, has sponsored the global drive to privatize water resources, attracting billions of dollars in additional financing from private banks.

This despite the fact that the World Bank reports 34 percent of such IFC-sanctioned water contracts are in distress or terminated before maturity – by far the highest rate of failure of any of the infrastructure sectors the Bank lends to. What’s more, in April the IFC’s Compliance Advisor Ombudsman reported that 40 percent of all complaints received across all IFC-financed sectors were water-related.

Still the Bank continues to act as a primary agent of water privatization. The Bank has demonstrated a long-term ideological commitment to promoting corporate control of public services and assets in the categorical belief that such privatization will lead to greater efficiency. In addition, the Bank has a more direct interest in expanding the private water market. As an equity investor in transnational water corporations, the Bank’s own profits are tied to the financial success of its private sector clients — who anticipate windfall profits from controlling water services and products. The Bank’s own financial investments in the world’s leading water privateers create a fundamental conflict of interest, giving corporate interests undue primacy in Bank decisions, and giving a self-serving aspect to its work with governments, where the same institution continues to charge hefty fees for advising and arranging deals that benefit its own portfolio of corporations.

Critics like independent urban water expert Vinay Baindur describe this new alignment between the World Bank, the government and the private sector as “a tripartite partnership to expand the stake for profits.”

For targeted nations and others to receive support from the WRG, projects must “provide for at least one partner from the private sector as part of its operations.” Such conditionalities have long been attached to Bank loans, dictating to countries an approach to water management often at odds with a basic democratic interest in guaranteeing water as a human right to all its citizens.

Corporate Accountability International identified this development shone a public spotlight on the very secretive initiative. The organization runs a campaign challenging corporate control of water, and is calling on the IFC to divest from water, including ceasing support of endeavors like the WRG.

Part of our Expose Faux Science series

The scenario this farmer describes has played out over and over in our country and many other countries as well. This biotech nightmare – that has been released on the entire world – was released after a Supreme Court decision in 1980 known as the Chakrabarty Case.  This case gave corporations the perceived right to patent DNA. Biotechnology and Frankenscience was a direct result of this horrific decision.

The Supreme Court Justices responsible for launching this corporate assault on humanity and the natural world were:

• Warren E. Burger
•  Potter Stewart
• Harry A. Blackmun
• William H. Rehnquist
• John Paul Stevens

At the very least these names should long be remembered for OPENING THE FLOODGATES FOR GMO AND BIOTECHNOLOGY – the creation of faux life!!
