In reply to the discussion: What is it about bikes that sends right wingers into a paranoid, frothing rage? [View all]muriel_volestrangler
(106,171 posts)24. SPLC on Agenda 21 conspiracy theorists, including Koire's "Democrats":
The vast majority of opponents of Agenda 21 come
from the right, mostly the far right. But in the case of
Rosa Koire (pronounced CORE-ee), a self-described
lesbian feminist and longtime forensic commercial real
estate appraiser specializing in eminent domain evaluation,
the criticism is ostensibly coming from the left.
Not that its very easy to tell.
The main difference between Koire, who runs the
Democrats Against UN Agenda 21 website and is executive
director of the closely linked Post Sustainability
Institute, is that she says the UN wants to erect
Communitarianism as opposed to socialism, or
communism as the dominant form of world governance.
Communitarianism is a system of cooperative
groups that practice some communist principles but
are generally less centralized than historic communist
states. She also claims that the Democratic Party
has been hijacked by socialists.
After that, Koire sounds like most Agenda 21 fearmongers.
(Y)our local government is in the process
of controlling where and how you live, what you eat,
what your children learn, and what laws you will
live under. She also says on her website that the
Agenda 21 plan means to inventory and control all
land, all water, all minerals, all plants, all animals,
all construction, all means of production, all energy,
all education, all information, and all human beings
in the world.

This "agenda 21 group" must be funded by the oil, coal, auto, and other polluting industries.
