THE U.N. IS COMING FOR YOU – AND YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!

Their Common Agenda - https://www.un.org/en/common-agenda

As we go about our daily lives, either doing physical work or watching YouTube cat videos, I have had a nagging sense that there are various forces at work that are undemocratic but have the power and authority of international bodies and treaties to force us into decisions that none of us want.

Ultimately, as the World Economic Forum has stated clearly – by 2030 we “will own nothing”. This is not hyperbole. These guys together with the UN, various foundations and public-private partnerships. have a multifaceted plan, and it is proceeding behind the scenes and away from any democratic oversight.

Two articles caught my attention this week.  One is a substack post by Dr Jacob Nordangård, and the other is an article from the UK Telegraph about undemocratic decisions taken by UK local councils so that “net zero” - the “holy grail” - can be reached.

These articles demonstrate the strategy used by global bodies such as the UN and WHO to bypass democratic scrutiny so that we find ourselves trapped by international agreements that have been made without our knowledge or consent.

The US Founding Fathers were well aware of such designs by the globalists of their day and required that a two-thirds majority vote in the US Senate was need for treaty ratification. This requirement has prevented the US being controlled by the global agenda, including being subject to the League of Nations. The League of Nations was promoted by US President Woodrow Wilson but the US constitution prevented this global group from gaining control in 1920.

My journey this last week has taken me deep into the United Nations Summit of the Future  and the 11 Policy Briefs that were released prior to their proposed adoption in September 2024.

The Summit of the Future (also called Multilateral Solutions for a Better Tomorrow – (who could be against that?) is full of clever language that is almost impossible to understand. However, at the heart of all the verbiage is an intent by the UN to gain control over everything and implement global governance. Of course, this always has been the intention of the globalists since the formation of the League of Nations in 1920.

Dr Jacob Nordangård published an interesting review of 2023 from Sweden and a look forward to 2024 in his Pharos Chronicles this last week

New Year's Letter 2024

Jacob published a previous article in August 2023 titled: “Transition to a New Global Order”

Transition to a New Global Order

related to the UN policy briefs, that support Our Common Agenda. Did you even know that there was a common agenda and that we are being shepherded into it?

I was horrified to discover the plans that the UN has for us. I wondered: do we need to be concerned? These are just globalist bureaucrats. What can they do to impact how we are living? Short answer – YES we do need to be concerned because the UN, through bureaucracies and international regulations, impacts our lives and will do so more in the future!

This led me to the second article from the UK Telegraph titled Councils make ‘undemocratic’ pledges in dash to reach net zero.

The author of the article writes:

“Millions of taxpayers face an accelerated dash to reach net zero with at least 160 councils signing “undemocratic” pledges to beat the Government’s 2050 targets, The Telegraph can disclose.

Local authorities across the country have introduced curbs after joining climate campaigns, including closing streets to traffic, charging vehicles to enter city centres and removing parking spaces.

Research by Together and Climate Debate UK has now mapped the councils involved for the first time.

“The pledges are not just undemocratic, but antidemocratic,” the authors say. “The pledges’ principles and aims have not been contested in public. And the public have not been asked for their consent.”

Pledges include acting “sooner” than Westminster to reach net zero and committing to more “ambitious” plans of action.”

Hayley Dixon, the author of the Telegraph article, cites a group called UK100 – (see this link) that is behind the lobbying to councils. This is a group that appears to be putting pressure on local councils to implement radical “climate” decisions that impact the lives of ratepayers. They say on their website, “Membership of UK100 supports local authorities in fulfilling their commitments to tackling the climate emergency…” and that the group does this by: “facilitating dialogue..”, “enabling knowledge sharing..”, “providing tailored insights…”, “connecting local leaders…” and “demonstrating the collective ambition…to deliver Net Zero”. This is a group that has the aim of nothing less than shutting down local economies because of the “climate emergency”. Watch the word “emergency” as it gives authorities the freedom to take drastic action without the need for any oversight or accountability.

It is unclear where the funding for UK100 comes from, but one would imagine the usual globalist foundation suspects. The Board of UK100 has a number of climate foundation personnel as well as PR consultants and senior staff from energy companies.

What is significant is that the 160 UK councils signing “pledges” to exceed even the irrational UK government mandate for Net Zero, are being done for a “higher cause”. Thus, “closing streets to traffic, charging vehicles to enter city centres and removing parking spaces” are being implemented with no local mandate. Undoubtedly, this also involves policies in larger cities, such as putting bicycle lines in place to cause traffic jams and long bus commutes. Ultimately, the plan is to make everyone just give up and accept living in 15-minute cities.

I have just finished reading James Delingpole’s important book Watermelons published in 2011 and even more relevant today. I will write more about James’ book next week and have an interview with him. In the book, he writes about yet another “environmental” campaign in 2010 in the UK called 10:10. A pressure group was calling for a 10% reduction in “our carbon footprint by 2010” and they made a short film called No Pressure - see below. The film shows that these folks are are serious - and very disturbed!

There are a plethora of groups trying to herd us into 15 minute cities  and C40 Cities (boasting 96 cities and 20% of the global economy) - where “climate action: will be “delivered”. The C40 Cities group says that “In the midst of climate breakdown, mayors are facing multiple interlinked crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic and persisting social injustices. A Global Green New Deal with inclusive climate action at its heart is needed to build thriving communities…”.

Part of this action is to ban meat and dairy products and restrict the purchase of new clothing. We need to take these groups seriously because they are backed by big bucks and are relentlessly pursuing actions that seek to turn us back to the stone age and cause population extinction.

Everything is linked to the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals, and it is difficult to make your way through the hundreds of pages of verbiage contained in the 11 UN Policy Briefs. Nonetheless, to save my Sons of Issachar readers from having to read through the 11 UN policy briefs, I have spent every waking moment this week, reading through the hundreds of pages of documentation. They are more frightening than you could imagine, and there is a sense of urgency because António Guterres, the UN Secretary-General since 2017, says that urgent action is needed following the 75th anniversary of the UN in 2020. Of course, we are also approaching the key date of 2030 when we will “own nothing”. They also claim that “we will be happy”, but in reality only they will be happy because “they” plan to own everything!

Figure 1. António Guterres statement on the coming “crisis”. We are “off track” to 2030!

The 11 Policy Briefs all have the same format with a cute heading at the start of each titled “CHAPEAU”. I thought that this meant “hat” in French but discovered that in a legal document, it is used as a “general heading or introductory section of a legal document. It sets the stage, frames the issue, and gives a little preview of what`s to come.” – see this link.

You can’t say you don’t learn something new from the Sons of Issachar Newsletter.

Because of the length of the policy briefs, I can only cover the first 5 briefs in this week’s edition of the newsletter. I know that it looks boring but I have attempted to distill the key ideas and these are important because they will determine what happens at every level of government administration over the coming years. All the governments signed up to the UN will ensure that all these policies are pushed down to the local level of every country.

UN Policy Brief 1 – To Think and Act for Future Generations – see this link

In essence, the UN imagines that it can plan our future and deliver “equality” because they have responded to the “rich and detailed reflections of Member States and other Stakeholders…” which were “captured in the thematic consultations of February-March 2022…on declarations co-facilitated by the Permanent Representatives of Fiji…and the Netherlands”.

The desire of central planners to control us, has a history of failure and death. You only have to go back to Stalin’s five-year plans in the late 1920s and1930s.

This first UN policy brief sees disaster ahead for humanity and the paper declares that future generations whose welfare and survival may be:

“permanently compromised by climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, inadequate stewardship of emerging technologies, backsliding on human rights, persistent inequalities and exclusion, unsustainable consumption and production patterns, insufficient attention to sustainable development needs in countries where most future generations will be born, poor management of extinction-level threats and catastrophic risks to humanity.”

All that is standing between today and disaster in future generations  -  is the UN!

There is an arrogance at the heart of this paper that is breathtaking and there are also some sinister threats. In Figure 5 of the paper, there is commentary in relation to each of the 17 “sacred” UN Sustainable Development Goals. For goals 1 and 3 (poverty and health), the table says that

“Parents’ advantages in income, health and education shape their children’s path over time, often leading to persistent ‘hoarding of opportunities’ across generations.”

The only conclusion would be to take action against these “hoarders”. The UN planners probably imagine a future where children are raised in UN “growth centres” where equality can be assured.

The paper does say that we need to commit to “the continued existence of humanity and preservation of the human species…” which provides cause for hope. The UN plans that there will be a few left - probably UN representatives!

Then there are various platitudes expressed with the main concrete proposal being the appointment of a “Special Envoy for Future Generations with awareness-raising, advisory and advocacy functions, and to support the work of the multilateral system on long-term thinking and foresight, and inviting the Envoy to report regularly to the General Assembly”.

It looks like a job that requires a lot of first-class travel and a big expense budget. I am putting my hand up for the role (I am constantly thinking about the multilateral system on long-term thinking and foresight) , but I suspect that Jacinda Ardern, the WEF-promoted former New Zealand Prime Minister, already has the inside running for the job.

However, I may be able to get onto the Commission for Future Generations – which is another idea promoted in this first UN policy brief. It recommends “Establishing a commission or a forum for future generations as a subsidiary body of the General Assembly…” The paper also recommends:

“Mainstreaming future-proofing, which could be defined as improving the capacity of institutions, policies and processes to enhance the long-term survival of humanity, by accounting for the interests of future generations and addressing extreme risks.”

Who knows what this means?

Future generations look secure with the UN ‘s Special Envoy and the Commission for Future Generations at work.

UN Policy Brief 2 – Strengthening the International Response to Complex Global Shocks – An Emergency Platform - see this link

This paper outlines the need for an “Emergency Platform to respond to complex global shocks, incorporating feedback received from Member States and other relevant partners. The Emergency Platform would not be a standing body or entity but a set of protocols that could be activated when needed.”

The current policy brief seems to stem from a declaration during the COVID-19 “pandemic” in September 2020 that:

“There is no other global organization with the legitimacy, convening power, and normative impact of the United Nations”, and committed to being prepared and emphasized the need to improve “our preparedness for not only health-related crises but also other challenges and crises”.

The bottom line – the UN wants more power!

A complex global shock is defined in the paper as one that has severe consequences for a significant proportion of the global population.  The paper indicates that:

“Current global dynamics – such as climate change and rapid biodiversity loss, heightened geopolitical competition and socioeconomic inequalities – could all interact to intensify the impact of a future global shock.”

It is interesting that climate change as a purveyor of future disaster is a common theme running through the 11 policy briefs. This policy paper has a convenient graphic that demonstrates the shocks ahead of us.

Figure 2. Complex Global Shocks - from UN Policy Brief Paper No. 2

Remarkably, the paper claims that “Up to 95 million more people than expected were living in extreme poverty in 2022 owing to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the war in Ukraine”. Who knew?

Faced with unimaginable crises, including those in outer space and “black swan” events, António Guterres proposes:

“Building on the ideas in Our Common Agenda and learning lessons from these recent crises, I propose that the General Assembly provide the Secretary-General and the United Nations system with a standing authority to convene and operationalize automatically an Emergency Platform in the event of a future complex global shock of sufficient scale, severity and reach.”

Figure 3. Key Principles of the UN proposed Emergency Platform

Just hand everything over with a blank cheque to the UN, and all will be well!

Here are the objectives of the emergency platform – if you can understand them!

1. High-level political leadership

2. Ensure equity and solidarity in the international response

3. Coherent multilateral response

4. Inclusive and networked multilateralism

5. Advocacy and strategic communications

6. Secure communications and hold key actors to account for supporting the global response

The document is 28 pages but can be summarized as: give us great power and we’ll take care of you.

My summary is simpler – head for the hills!

UN Policy Brief 3 – Meaningful Youth Engagement in Policymaking and Decision-making Processes - see this link

This policy brief promotes the importance of getting young people aligned with the globalist UN agenda. The policy brief says: “In recent years, young people have become a driving force for societal change through social mobilization – pushing for climate action, seeking racial justice, promoting gender equality and demanding dignity for all.”

It is interesting in all the policy briefs that climate “justice” and the climate “emergency” are the overriding justification for every area of action. The climate change narrative has been so effectively inculcated into the political and education system, that there is no further need to justify the “crisis”.

The policy brief makes three recommendations:

1. Expand and strengthen youth participation in decision-making at all levels;

2. Make meaningful youth engagement a requirement in all United Nations decision-making processes;

3. Support the establishment of a standing United Nations Youth Townhall and an integrated programme from the United Nations system to facilitate greater diversity, representativeness, and preparedness in youth participation.

It’s difficult to know what these recommendations mean, but essentially the recommendation is for a youth lobby group that is aligned with UN agenda. Likely these people will be drawn from the WEF Young Global Leaders program – see this link.

Remarkably, the paper promotes the idea that “meaningful youth engagement advances the achievement of sustainable development, peace and security, human rights, and gender equality goals”.

It seems that “meaningful youth engagement” really means UN agitators or as the paper says “torchbearers of the Sustainable Development Goals” of the UN for 2030.

Now, I have talked to many young people and can confidently assert that none that I have met know anything about the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

However, it is clear from the policy paper that by selecting the appropriate “youth torchbearers”, there can be justification for the UN actions that seek to promote every aspect of the left-wing, collectivist agenda. Here is how the policy paper describes these youth activists:

“Young people have also been at the forefront of efforts to promote and protect human rights, exercising their right to freedom of information, opinion, expression, association and assembly, both online and offline. They are frequently at the fore of efforts to achieve gender equality and realize the rights of women and girls. They have also been leading global efforts to ensure that decision-making spaces are inclusive for all, especially young women, adolescents, LGBTIQ+ youth, youth with disabilities, indigenous youth, and refugee and migrant youth.”

What we have seen on campuses across the world in recent times could be promoted as the support of freedom of expression – but only freedom to express the latest woke opinions. Those with alternative opinions are silenced and deplatformed. There is nothing in the policy brief about this. However, remarkably we discover that “Youth are active agents in tackling deforestation and desertification”. Who knew?

Once again, the focus of the 22-page policy brief is on delivering the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. These are the UN’s current “holy writ”. There are myriad examples of purported “youth engagement” as the UN sprays money around their collectivist agenda. Examples include: Generation Connect Visionary Board  and youth envoys of the International Telecommunications Union, the Commission on the Status of Women, the International Migration Review Forum, the Program of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development, the World Health Organization Youth Council etc etc. There seems to be no end to the number of organizations and international bodies that feed this UN “beast”. Fortunately, these guys don’t try to hide their intentions and even erected a sculpture in the UN precinct showing the “beast” of the book of Revelation – for more information see this link.

UN Policy Brief 4 – Valuing What Counts: Framework to Progress Beyond Gross Domestic Product -see this link

What could this policy brief really mean?  Well - the policy brief tells us that it is all about being off track with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, the only hope for humanity! The paper says

“The Sustainable Development Goals are badly off-track. Gross domestic product (GDP) has become a proxy for how we determine value, how we measure wealth creation and development progress and how we allocate resources on that basis.”

The policy brief says life is more than just GDP. In fact: “Harmful practices, such as deforestation, overfishing and the burning of fossil fuels, often contribute to increases in GDP.” (Just stop cutting down trees, catching fish and driving anywhere and all will be well!)

The solutions proposed are “three concrete recommendations for Member States”:

1. A renewed political commitment to create a conceptual framework that can accurately “value what counts” for people, the planet and the future, anchored in the 2030 Agenda and the commitment set out therein to leave no one behind;

2. The elaboration of a robust technical and scientific process, informed by sound and disaggregated data, resulting in a United Nations value dashboard of a limited number of key indicators that go beyond GDP;

3. A major capacity-building and resourcing initiative to enable Member States to use the new framework effectively.

If these are concrete proposals, I’m not sure what the abstract ones are!

At the heart of the proposals are a call for de-industrialization. The paper tells us that:

“GDP does not account for air pollution, natural resource depletion, environmental degradation and biodiversity loss” and that “GDP does not capture the full extent of the informal economy, such as unpaid care work in households, nor does it capture the social value of activities, such as health care, or the value of security.”

What the policy brief advocates then is:

“In addition to compiling headline indicators, Member States will need to maintain and develop comprehensive national data systems to analyse and provide disaggregated data to assess progress made towards the commitment to leave no one behind. Indeed, the current multiple crises, including the escalating climate emergency, have revealed that our statistical systems need to move away from current, traditional ways of operating to be able to effectively support countries’ sustainable development and transformation agendas”.

Put simply, this is about additional data collection on people, and feeding this information to the UN, supposedly to ensure “no one is left behind” (or no one is un-monitored!).

Again – this all comes back to the “ ”.

Further on, the paper tells us that “we need metrics and policies on ‘well-being and agency’”.

The proposals are almost impossible to understand, but the final idea is a “framework firmly anchored in the 2030 Agenda”. The framework proposed is for:

1. Well-being and agency.

2. Respect for life and the planet.

3. Reduced inequalities and greater solidarity.

The framework should also be based on three additional elements to pave the way for transformation:

1. Participatory governance and stronger institutions.

2. Innovative and ethical economies.

3. From vulnerability to resilience.

All this material is almost incomprehensible, and you can see UN Members’ eyes glazing over in September. They will probably vote for the proposals just to escape from the room to get to cocktails.

The end result, the paper suggests, is a “value dashboard of a limited number of key indicators (not more than 10-20) that go beyond GDP”. Of course, this needs information, and so there will be resources needed to “strengthen statistical capacity-building and data collection”, ie an increase in the surveillance state. This leads on to Policy Brief 5.

UN Policy Brief 5 – A Global Digital Compact – An Open, Free and Secure Digital Future for All - see this link

As in all the policy briefs, the solution to all the world’s problems is to “strengthen global governance,” i.e. give the UN more power and control. The paper tells us that:

“The present brief proposes the development of a Global Digital Compact that would set out principles, objectives and actions for advancing an open, free, secure and human-centred digital future, one that is anchored in universal human rights and that enables the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals.”

This looks to be all about ensuring digital “everything” and promoting the need for us all to have a digital ID. The Digital Impact Alliance - is an offshoot of ID2020 - an organization promoted and funded by the Gates Foundation and other fellow travellers. This group funded the Good Health Pass which was one of the important ways during COVID-19 to force people into accepting a digital ID.

The UN believes that there is a “digital and data divide”. The proposal in this policy brief is: “Development of a Global Digital Compact that would set out principles, objectives and actions to advance an open, free, secure and human-centred digital future, one that is anchored in universal human rights and that enables the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals.”

I couldn’t find any satisfactory definition of Global Digital Compact but in a published Q&A – see this link - regarding the Global Digital Compact, the long-winded answer to a question about the Global Digital Compact is this:

“We hope for the Global Digital Compact to be the highest-level-capturing of political will so far, in terms of a comprehensive view of the digital world. It would ideally touch upon the challenges and the risks that digital technologies may pose to human rights, fundamental freedoms, and human agency.”

This didn’t leave me any the wiser but the Q&A goes on to say:

“We want to generate a 360-degree look at the digital world with all its implications, the opportunities. Ultimately, the Global Digital Compact will enable us, as the international community, to better organize ourselves and build a digital future that is open, free, secure, and inclusive.”

In translation, I think it means that the UN wants control over the internet and I suspect that Digital ID will be an important part of the policies to promote a digital future that is “open, free, secure and inclusive”. This is confirmed in one of the explanations of the ubiquitous 17 Sustainable Development Goals, where the policy brief says for Goal 1: “Digital IDs linked with bank or mobile money accounts can improve the delivery of social protection coverage and serve to better reach eligible beneficiaries”.

This is all about handouts that probably link to central bank digital currencies. The paper is excited about: “Novel platform-based vaccine technologies and smart vaccine-manufacturing techniques..to produce greater numbers of higher quality vaccines”.

Great news! Just accept a digital ID and the UN will give you cash and they then ensure you get one of their “novel platform-based vaccine technologies” so that you can be monitored for your greenhouse gas emissions!

Some acknowledgement is given to data privacy where the paper says: “Personal data should only be collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes, and their processing must be relevant and limited to what is necessary for those purposes”.

However, would you trust Big Brother?

One of the goals for the Digital Compact is a:  “target of creating 1 million “digital champions” for the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, a quarter of them in Africa, by creating a capacity development network that leverages existing initiatives to pool training content, trainers and case studies, develop common competency frameworks and deliver a Digital for Sustainable Development Goals training standard”.

Who knows what this means, but I think it means a  lot of UN money being spent on promoting “digital champions”. The paper proposes to: “Set a revised target of $100 billion for pledges to the Partner2Connect Digital Coalition by 2030” via the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

What is the ITU, you ask? I discovered that it is the UN specialized agency for information and communication technologies – see this link. Watch out for International Girls in ICT Day (25 April 2024), and World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (17 May 2024). Put these dates on your calendars!

Once again – the “climate emergency” comes to the fore with the paper proposing to: “Develop environmental sustainability by design and globally harmonized digital sustainability standards and safeguards to protect the planet”.

Inclusivity is not forgotten because “human dignity is at the core” of our digital future, and the proposal will: “End the gender digital divide by ensuring that online spaces are non-discriminatory and safe for women.”

Of course, disinformation cannot be tolerated as so there is  the following proposal about social media: “Social media platforms should commit to and put in place coregulation mechanisms, such as social media councils, that would ensure adherence to agreed standards across the industry.”

Essentially, the UN is proposing a totally regulated digital platform that is controlled in a “New International Decade for Data” and where we are all continuously monitored.

You will be pleased to know though, that the paper proposes “a global collaborative research and development effort to ensure that AI systems are safe, fair, accountable, transparent, interpretable, trustworthy and aligned with human values “.

There is nothing further to worry about – get your digital ID, enroll for a CDBC, present your digital passport for your vaccination and then hand over to AI because it will be “safe, fair, accountable, transparent, interpretable., trustworthy and aligned with human values”!

Conclusions

Sons of Issachar readers, I know that this is all too much, but the UN and its various supporting organizations are as serious as a heart attack in relation to their “sacred” 17 Sustainable Development Goals, which they are determined to thrust upon us by every means possible. I have only covered five of the 11 UN Policy Briefs that have proposals that will be adopted in September this year, whether we want them or not.

I will summarize the final six policy briefs next week, if I can summon the courage to continue to read through the mind-numbing content. The other six policy briefs are:

Policy Brief 6 – Reforms to the International Financial Architecture (necessary, they say, because of “unrelenting climate change…entrenched gender bias…”and other issues you could hardly imagine);

Policy Brief 7 – For All Humanity – the Future of Outer Space Governance (this is important because it may be where we have to go to escape the reach of the UN);

Policy Brief 8 – Information and Integrity on Digital Platforms (a proposed Code of Conduct for enhanced “trust and safety”. Trust us, we’re the UN!);

Policy Brief 9 – A New Agenda for Peace (excited about this because the UN has such a strong track record!);

Policy Brief 10 – Transforming Education (ensuring that all our children become Marxists!);

Policy Brief 11 – UN 2.0 (A UN “rejuvenated by a forward-thinking culture, and cutting-edge skills” – I’m already excited about this!).

It is worthwhile having the summary document of the 11 Policy Briefs to hand, and you can obtain it at this link.

We ignore the plans of the cunning globalists at our peril and so it is important to understand what they have in store for us. Be particularly careful about various “opportunities” that we will be offered to acquire a digital ID. This is the first step into slavery!
