I first stumbled across agenda 21 in about 2008, and my first reaction was to dismiss what I was reading because I didn't believe that any government in Australia would take us down this road. Then I began to see a legislative pattern emerging in parliament which concerned me greatly, and I also started to see the tenor of legislation that we were passing. I did air those concerns in parliament, and it was dismissed and ignored. The words agenda 21, ladies and gentlemen, were never meant to be spoken. And if they were, then, of course, it would be dismissed as a conspiracy theory. Because if people knew agenda 21 and what it stood for, there's plenty of information out there where they could actually learn what the end game was, and governments didn't want that to be known. My dad always said to me that people only lie for two reasons. One reason is because you're ashamed of what you're doing, and the second reason is that you don't want people to be warned just before you screw them. And I honestly believe that these secrets have been kept for both of those reasons. Ladies and gentlemen, the origins of the environmental movement as we see it began back in 1968 when the Club of Rome was formed. The Club of Rome has been described as a crisis think tank which specializes in crisis creation. The main purpose of this think tank was to formulate a crisis that would unite the world and condition us to the idea of global solutions to local problems. In a document called the first global revolution authored by Alexander King and Bertrand Schneider on pages 104 and 105, it stated, in searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine, and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers, of course, will be caused by human intervention that will require a global response. That's the origin of global warming, ladies and gentlemen. In 1975, Australia agreed to bring in a new economic order via the Lima Declaration on the second conference of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization. The outcome of this was, as I said, the Lima declaration which was a blueprint for the redeployment of tools, jobs, and manufacturing to the developing nations, leaving countries like Australia short of technology, a manufacturing base, and jobs. Blind Freddy can now see what the outcome of that has been for our country with their unworkable trade and tariffs agreements hand in hand with this that have followed as a matter of course. This has now become a reality with around 90% of our agriculture and manufacturing just gone. Australia signed the Lima declaration in 1975 and hundreds of others with the support of all major political players, Whitlam, Fraser, Hawke, Keating, Houston, Howard, Rudd, the democrats, the greens, and even the Nationals. It has been put to me that all of these treaties were the foundation for the rollout of agenda 21. And it seems that Australia has been moved around the global chessboard, and our so called leaders were either complicit or naive to the long term consequences. And now we're almost at checkmate. Sorry. In 1992, former president of The United States George Bush senior said, effective execution of agenda 21 will require a profound reorientation of human society unlike anything the world has ever experienced. A major shift in the priorities of both governments and individuals and an unprecedented redeployment of human and financial resources. This shift will demand that a concern for the environmental consequences of every human action will be integrated into individual and collective decision making at every level. Cutting through the code, I want everyone here tonight not familiar with agenda 21 to consider what the words profound reorientation of all human society and unprecedented redeployment of human and financial resources actually means. For everyone here tonight not familiar with agenda 21, I would suggest that this is the beginning of your learning curve, not the end. In 1992, Morris Strong, secretary general of the UN Earth Summit and member of the Club of Rome said, it is clear the current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts of frozen and convenience foods, use of fossil fuels, ownership of motor vehicles, small electrical appliances, home and workplace air conditioning, and suburban housing are not sustainable. Put those statements together with the previous one, and it must become clear that agenda 21 is about controlling every aspect of our lives, how we eat, what we eat, how much we eat, how we move around, food production, the amount of food, and where we even live. Dixie Ray, former Washington state governor and assistant secretary for oceans and international environmental and scientific affairs stated, agenda 21 seeks to establish a mechanism for transferring the wealth from citizens to the third world. Fear of environmental crisis would be used to create a world government and UN central direction. From a report in the September Habitat One Conference, land cannot be treated as an ordinary asset controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principal instrument

In 2008, a billion gallons of coal ash sludge spilled from a pond at the Kingston coal plant, covering 300 acres. Workers were sent to clean up what was then the worst environmental disaster. Many of these workers became sick, and some died, allegedly due to exposure during the cleanup. Workers described arriving for cleanup with breathing problems and bloodshot eyes. A lawsuit was filed, and the workers won. They claimed they were told the coal ash was harmless, even safe to eat. Despite their health issues, they were allegedly told there was no problem. The speaker emphasizes the importance of remembering this event and its implications for worker protections across industries. The workers felt lied to and taken advantage of, with deadly consequences for some.

The environmental movement originated in 1968 with the formation of the Club of Rome, a crisis think tank. Their goal was to create a crisis that would unite the world and promote global solutions. They identified pollution, global warming, water shortages, and famine as threats caused by human intervention. In 1975, Australia agreed to the Lima Declaration, which led to the redeployment of jobs and manufacturing to developing nations, resulting in the loss of agriculture and manufacturing in Australia. Agenda 21, a plan for global control, was introduced in 1992 by George Bush Senior and Maurice Strong. It aims to reorient society and redistribute wealth. The government's actions, such as increasing taxes and reducing services, contribute to wealth redistribution and control over citizens' lives. The legislative council is crucial for checks and balances. The Club of Rome and its members, including Ted Turner and Mikhail Gorbachev, advocate for depopulation and view environmentalism as a new world religion.

Speaker 0 outlines a narrative linking the origins of the environmental movement to the Club of Rome, described as a crisis think tank that purportedly specializes in crisis creation. The speaker cites a document, The First Global Revolution by Alexander King and Bertrand Schneider, claiming it states that pollution, global warming, water shortages, famine and similar dangers would fit the bill as a new enemy to unite the world and justify a global response to local problems, thereby claiming “the origin of global warming.” The speaker then connects this to Australia, asserting that in 1975 Australia accepted a new economic order via the Lima Declaration at the UNIDO conference. The Lima Declaration, they say, was a blueprint for redeploying tools, jobs and manufacturing to developing nations, leaving Australia short of technology, a manufacturing base and jobs, and that unworkable trade and tariffs agreements followed. They claim these treaties were the foundation for the rollout of Agenda 21 and contend Australia has been moved on a global chessboard with leaders either complicit or naive to long-term consequences. The segment cites 1992 remarks by former U.S. president George Bush Sr. about Agenda 21, describing it as requiring a profound reorientation of human society and an unprecedented redeployment of human and financial resources, integrating concern for environmental consequences into decision making at every level. The speaker urges the audience to consider the implications of “profound reorientation of all human society” and “unprecedented redeployment of human and financial resources.” The speaker references Morris Strong, then secretary-general of the UN Earth Summit, stating that affluent middle-class lifestyles are not sustainable, including high meat intake, frozen foods, fossil fuels, vehicle ownership, and other consumption patterns. The implication drawn is that Agenda 21 is about controlling every aspect of life—what and how we eat, how we move, food production, quantity of food, and where we live. Dixie Ray, former Washington state governor and assistant secretary for oceans and international environmental and scientific affairs, is quoted as saying Agenda 21 seeks to transfer wealth from citizens to the third world. A fear-based trajectory is described where fear of environmental crisis would be used to create a world government with UN central direction. The speaker quotes a Habitat One report suggesting land cannot be treated as an ordinary asset and that private land ownership contributes to social injustice, implying a redistribution of wealth through land and resource control. A report from the president’s council on sustainable development is cited as advocating a new collaborative decision process for better decisions and more rapid change in resource use. Harvey Ruben of the Wildlands Project and Jay Gary Lawrence are invoked to suggest that individual rights would be subordinated to the collective, and that participating in UN-planned processes would provoke conspiracy-minded groups to resist, leading to alternative labels like comprehensive planning or sustainable development. The narrative claims that costs are rising for citizens while services are cut, portraying this as wealth redistribution and redeployment of resources that harms the working poor. It references debates over land rights and water allocation, the native vegetation act, and development and planning acts as threats to food producers and long-term security, with alluding to heritage status used to justify control over land titles. The speaker argues for legislative Council checks and balances as a safeguard against parties colluding to pass restrictive policies, urging public participation to restrain erosion of common law, and portraying agenda 21 as an ongoing threat since 2008. The account then traces the Club of Rome’s 1972 Limits to Growth and its environmental alarmism, linking Ted Turner and Mao to early endorsements of the movement, and cites 1987 and 1996 statements about a new world order and an environmental crisis unlocking a one-world government. It asserts the Earth Summit produced the Earth Charter, co-written by Morris Strong and Mikhail Gorbachev, as a new set of commandments with environmentalism as a new world religion, and connects this to Agenda 21. Ted Turner’s 1996 reductionist population statements are included, along with a 1998 Baltimore Sun report on Turner’s donations to the UN aimed at stalling population growth and supporting sterilization to “save mother earth.”

Between 2012 and 2022, Congress created 500 new crimes. A woman working for NOAA in Honolulu bought a boat with a friend and offered whale watching tours. While on a tour, someone on the boat whistled at an orca eating a seal. The FBI later raided the woman's house, seizing DVDs, computers, and her cell phone. She was charged with a felony count of interfering with the feeding of a wild animal under the Endangered Species Act. She fought the charge for five years, lost her boat, her business, and her federal pension after NOAA fired her. Eventually, the charge was reduced to a misdemeanor with a small fine, but she had already lost everything. The speaker concludes that 50 new crimes a year is too much.

A thick layer of toxic froth has resurfaced at the Yamunag Hut in Kalindi Kunj, making large stretches of the Yamuna nearly invisible. The froth accumulated heavily along the riverbank, clinging to their sides, with dust particles visibly embedded in the froth. Environmentalists who conduct a cleanliness drive every Sunday at the Kalandi Kunsh Ghat say that water in December and January has been a lot more polluted than it was before the Chhat festival in October. They acknowledge that the measures taken by the Delhi government to clean the Yamuna during Chhat were effective and would have vastly improved the situation today had the government sustained that momentum. Solid waste management and freshwater flow officials active continued. Volunteers from Earth Warriors groups also voiced concerns about pollution at Yamuna Ghats, highlighting serious health risks posed by toxic froth along the river and the strong stench it emits. They noted that people continue to dump waste directly into the river despite authorities imposing a fine of 5,000 rupees under the polluter pays principle. The volunteers stated that a toxic froth at Yamuna not only harms human health but also disturbs the river’s ecology, with the froth blanket preventing oxygen and natural sunlight from reaching the riverbed, resulting in degraded water quality. DPCC reports indicate that environmentalists have repeatedly raised concerns over the pollution at Yamuna, urging the Delhi government to ramp up their efforts not just to clean the river but also to increase public awareness to prevent waste dumping.

And there was no answers. No one had given any thought to economics. How are you going to clothe and feed these people? Speaker 0: The only thing that I could get was that they expected that the Cubans and the Vietnamese and the Chinese and the Russians would all want to occupy different portions of The United States. They also believed that their immediate responsibility would be to protect against what they called revolution. And they felt that this counter revolution could best be guarded against by creating and establishing reeducation centers in the Southwest, where we would take all the people who needed to be reeducated into the new way of thinking and teach them how things were going to be. I ask, well, what is going to happen to those people that we can't reeducate, that are die hard capitalists? And the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated.

Miley Kaczynski, who lives 1.6 miles downstream from the Beaver Dam Meta Data Center, describes a natural creek on her property that has flowed for nearly fifty years but began behaving drastically after upstream construction of the data center. She states the creek, 20 feet wide and up to four feet deep, stopped flowing even with no rainfall, became cloudy and opaque with enough force to cause drastic erosion, and has dried up half of the past construction season. Dust from the construction covers her yard, turning grass white, and visibility on the road is severely reduced by thick dust clouds. She notes this behavior is not consistent with natural variability or weather patterns and has never happened before. Kaczynski explains she attempted to report the issue to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), but found the system fragmented: reports are passed between departments and can be lost, and she was informed there is no single entity responsible for downstream effects of large-scale construction on a water system. She says multiple permits govern activities at local, county, state, and federal levels, with no one looking at the whole picture or what happens beyond the project boundary. She emphasizes this is a policy failure rather than a failure of individual agency staff. She asserts the creek’s flow appears correlated with upstream industrial activity during construction, including daily blasting with dynamite; when discharge stops, the creek stops, and when it resumes, water returns abruptly. She claims corporations receive fast approvals, tax incentives, and limited review, while residents must prove damage after the fact at their own expense against billion-dollar companies. She has turned this into a part-time research effort, estimating costs for water sampling (shipping at $121 and testing around $400 per sample) and water treatment to block elevated metals like strontium. Kaczynski warns that nearly 1,000 acres of her backyard will be converted from permeable land to paved industrial space, reducing groundwater recharge and altering a community of farmers and working families. She laments rural Wisconsin losing its identity to data centers, noting that another data center is proposed in Beaver Dam. She describes the annexation of the land by the city, with Alliant Energy facilitating deals with farmers to sell collectively, and explains that after annexation the land goes to county rezoning with a “rubber stamp” process, making it difficult to halt. She claims damage cannot be legally proven before construction, so the process requires action at the city level, but the city did not focus on the data center in its hearings, making residents feel unrepresented and unable to vote or speak fully. She concludes that there is a lack of a working system to ensure permits are followed, with only one mining permit officer for the entire state, and she demands transparency and action from authorities, asking who will save her retroactively and expressing that her safety net is gone. She ends by asking for help and acknowledging the late start for her opportunity to speak.

NYC Garbage Man | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von #467
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Wayne Owen spent 20 years in New York City’s garbage business, starting in Manhattan and finishing on Staten Island. He entered through the city civil service system, took a sanitation test instead of college, and won a spot after a lottery. His test had 100,000 signups, only 30,000 could take it; Wayne placed in the top 400 and was hired within a year. Training covered driving, earning a CDL, and two days behind a truck with a choice of steering sides. Manhattan routes were dense, pail-to-pail, with thousands of bags and compactors; Staten Island offered a more residential, slower pace with shifts alternating between driver and loader. Early experiences included working with veterans who emphasized posture and loading efficiency. Gear was basic—Dickies, T-shirts, gloves and boots; no wetsuits. The job involved heavy physical labor, long shifts, and the constant weight of a city schedule. Wayne describes a camaraderie on the crew, with occasional pranks and, earlier in his career, occasional alcohol use on the job. In later years, federal licensing and random drug testing changed the scene. Pay grew with overtime and winter work; first-year earnings were around 27,000, rising to roughly 60,000 with overtime, plus a pension and health benefits in retirement. He stresses the pension’s value for his family, though privatization and automation pose long-term concerns. Memorable moments include navigating Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods with heavy trash output, the Staten Island landfill’s methane vents, and debates about incinerators versus landfills. He recalls storms like snow, Y2K, and Hurricane Sandy, which reshaped operations. He retired at 41 and started a construction business with his father before back problems redirected him. He cherishes family life with his wife Wendy and sons Parker and Jackson, and views the job as demanding, lucrative, and full of lifelong colleagues. Wayne’s story highlights a tough, often lucrative career with a pension that shapes retirement, a strong city-wide footprint, and a culture of camaraderie and resilience.

Steven Rinella - Founder of MeatEater | SRS #237
Guests: Steven Rinella

From the jungle to the interview chair, Rinella threads a story of hunting as a lived practice rather than a cinematic hobby. He recalls real-life South American encounters with Mashi and Makushi hunters in Bolivia and Guyana, where a shotgun and improvised ammo built through leaf wrappers and candle wax can become a night’s tool. Under a fig tree they spot a red howler monkey and its infant; the shot lands, the meat is cured by smoking, boiling, and roasting, and the crew films some of it. The monkey meat proves tough, but the daily rhythm of these communities—hunting and fishing 250 days a year—illustrates that for them, survival, culture, and skill fuse into a way of life. He shifts to dog meat in Vietnam, recounting a Northern Tat holiday story that sparked fierce backlash after Outside Magazine published a feature on thit cho. He describes the moral churn—hot spices and guilt mingle as he tastes fare that is both part of a ritual economy and a source of controversy. The reaction was intense, including vitriolic emails, though Rinella says he was surprised by how little pushback compared with other issues. He argues that learning from indigenous hunters goes beyond taboos, and he highlights field skills he witnessed, such as how local trackers solve problems that non-natives cannot see. Rinella widens the lens to Africa, describing Tanzania’s wildlife management through large hunting concessions that generate revenue for the government and fund habitat preservation. A 2-million-acre game area hosts hunts with set quotas, and trophy fees flow back to Tanzania. He contrasts this with debates over public lands in the United States, where many Americans value open access and habitat protection. He notes that private and public approaches coexist, including Burning Man on BLM land and the public’s love of accessible spaces, while acknowledging the complexity of enforcement, poverty, and development pressures. He traces American hunting from Daniel Boone’s frontier era to Roosevelt’s conservation push, describing market hunting and the later curb through the Lacey Act and the Boon and Crockett Club. He explains how the wild meat economy shaped cities, beaver and buffalo trades, and the shift toward public ownership and regulation. He also reflects on balancing work with family life, emphasizing that when at home, he cooks and eats wild meat with his family, while mentoring his children in hunting and outdoor skills.

The DIRE Condition of America’s Public Water With Erin Brockovich | Rich Roll Podcast
Guests: Erin Brockovich
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Currently, there are about 40,000 chemicals on the market, with less than one percent tested for human safety. Safety standards are often influenced by political interests or manipulated science, leading to unsupervised industry pollution and poorly enforced laws. Water quality is a significant concern, as highlighted by Erin Brockovich, a renowned environmental activist known for her fight against PG&E over contaminated water in Hinkley, California. Her new book, *Superman's Not Coming*, emphasizes the need for public empowerment in addressing environmental issues. Brockovich discusses the importance of community involvement, particularly among mothers, who often take action when their children's health is at risk. She shares stories of communities that have successfully fought for clean water, illustrating how grassroots activism can lead to significant change. For instance, in Hannibal, Missouri, mothers rallied to address lead contamination, successfully running for city council and improving their water quality. Brockovich highlights the failures of regulatory bodies like the EPA, which often prioritize corporate interests over public health. She argues for the need to reform lobbying laws and improve transparency in government and industry. The conversation touches on the manipulation of scientific data and the suppression of whistleblowers, emphasizing the need for accountability and reform in environmental policies. The discussion also covers the alarming presence of contaminants like chromium-6, lead, and PFAS in drinking water, stressing the urgency of addressing these issues. Brockovich advocates for a national disease registry to track health impacts related to water contamination and calls for a new regulatory body focused solely on water safety. Brockovich's insights reveal a broader systemic issue where profit is prioritized over public health, leading to widespread environmental degradation. She encourages individuals to take ownership of their health and advocate for clean water, emphasizing that change is possible through collective action. The conversation concludes with a call to reconnect with nature and prioritize self-care amidst the overwhelming challenges facing communities today.

In this episode, the host and guest discuss the complexities and stakes of protecting the Amazon basin, focusing on how indigenous communities, conservation groups, and external pressures intersect. The conversation covers on-the-ground work to expand protected areas, address deforestation, and counter logging mafias and narco trafficking, revealing how local rangers, government collaboration, and community livelihoods are threaded into a broader effort to create a viable forest corridor and a potential national park. The guest shares vivid accounts from fieldwork, including encounters with uncontacted or recently contacted communities, the dynamics of how resources like plantains, monkeys, and turtles are sourced, and the daily realities of subsistence living. Across these stories, the tension between development and preservation emerges not as abstract debate but as a series of concrete decisions about who gets to shape the river’s future, what protections are feasible, and how outsiders can contribute responsibly. The discussion also touches the broader scientific and media discourse about the Amazon, questioning sensational narratives about widespread ancient engineering while acknowledging the forest’s long-standing ecological complexity and the delicate balance that supports global climate systems. The guest reflects on personal motivations, the risks of field work, and the emotional pull of wilderness exploration, suggesting that sustained conservation requires both courage and pragmatic collaboration with local people, authorities, and international audiences. Interwoven are moments of practical survival wisdom, anecdotes about wildlife, and reflections on how modern technology and storytelling can mobilize support for protecting vast, living landscapes, even in the face of powerful economic and political headwinds. The conversation ultimately centers on a hopeful vision: securing a protected stretch of the river that can benefit indigenous communities and biodiversity while serving as a beacon for responsible stewardship and informed public engagement.
