Global green regime

Madam,

I am utterly frustrated, yet worried over the deception a lot of sincere Pacific Island environmentalists have wholly commit ted themselves to.

It has to do with the “environmental movement”, the theme of which has become the password of governments, conferences and the like in the Pacific over the last decade.

But the end game is more about power and control than envi ronmental protection and conservation.

There are genuine ecological problems today challenging humankind’s intelligence, wisdom, and resourcefulness. Very few can deny this fact.

Unfortunately, after much reading and observation, I have arrived at a daring realisation that much of the “apocalyptic doom” being portrayed and preached today about our world envi ronment has far more to do with increasing and centralising gov ernment control over humankind than with protecting humans and nature from environmentally harmful practices.

Does this not sound logical? I strongly believe it does. It’s con nected with what a lot of people are aware of as the One World Government; One World Economy; the New World Money System; the New World Religion; the New World Order! A one world system controlled and dominated by a certain religio-polit ical hierarchy via its powerful tool - the United Nations.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union there no longer remained a “common enemy” which would ensure continued support and high recognition of the UN. Therefore, an “alterna tive enemy” had to be identified as replacement at the top as the “No. 1 international security concern”. In search of this so-called “enemy”, the environment was identified as the best candidate.

Issues like global warming, ozone depletion, deforestation and over-population, branded as "the four horsemen of a looming 21 st century apocalypse” were launched into the world scene.

The Rio Summit did produce some accomplishments, one of which was Agenda 21, the 800-page blueprint for governmental action addressing everything from forests to deserts, oceans, rivers, women’s rights, and health care, which will be around to haunt, harass, and increasingly trouble us in the years ahead.

Interestingly, Capacity 21, the influence of which has already penetrated the entire Pacific region, its governments and its peo ple, within a space of only a year, rose from Agenda 21 .

To conclude, the present religio-political-environmental end game is beyond the control of the grassroots of this world system.

Sad to say, it is very obvious SPREP is only being used as a

tool to impose the demands of the UN on people the UN wishes to financially and politically control. Local environmentalists, however sincere as they may be about the environment, are only being toyed with as puppets.

In closing, I wish to kindly suggest a two points change of direction: ■ SPREP to scrap the Capacity 21 project and utilise funds now drained in this project into pre-existing local environmental organisations to upgrade and enhance their support of local and

privately protected resources;

■ SPREP to utilise project officers currently employed in Capacity 21 as more meaningful resource-management personnel in handicapped environmental organisations established in their

respective countries.

When will the current environmental rat-race come to a halt?
