I was listening to Michael Youssef today and he started talking about this conspiracy theory of his… it surrounds the Earth Charter. Ever heard of it?
Well… it’s not a theory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Charter
Check the History section. Mikhail Gorbachev? Plus it’s been endorsed by over 250 universities around the world. And by the US Conference of mayors which consists of… all the mayors of US cities with populations of 30,000 or more.
“The Charter has received opposition from several groups. For example, in the United States, members of religious groups, such as the Religious Right have objected to the document on the grounds that it is secular, and espouses socialism. In addition, some conservatives cite an informal comment by Mikhail Gorbachev that the document is “a kind of Ten Commandments” and point to the fact that at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa, a copy of the document was placed symbolically in an “Ark of Hope” — an independent project by the American artist Sally Linder. A number of conspiracy theorists claim that the founders of the Earth Charter are attempting to establish a global super-state to enforce the Charter.”
Conspiracy theorists, my FOOT! Go and read the bloody thing, it’s written right in there! “In order to build a sustainable global community, the nations of the world must renew their commitment to the United Nations, fulfill their obligations under existing international agreements, and support the implementation of Earth Charter principles with an international legally binding instrument on environment and development. ” (emphasis mine) Also see this page: http://www.earthcharterinaction.org/content/articles/268/1/A-new-Guide-for-Using-the-Earth-Charter-in-Education-/Page1.html
In addition to educators, the charter openly states that it intends to involve governments and the media in it’s mission. It calls for tolerance of all religions, people of any sexual orientation, worship of nature, a “global civil community”, universal healthcare (including free access to birth control) and education, and special attention to the rights of minorities and indigenous peoples. (Someone told me in an email they weren’t sure where the destabilizing influences in the US were coming from… now we know.)
And if you don’t believe this seemingly far-fetched article, then go to the homepage of the Ark of Hope, where they readily admit that the claims about this beastly, blasphemous box of balogna are true – and to samvandina.com (see the section appropriately titled “a third pillar” and the section that describes the “drafting process”.)
I’ve said this before but now I’m REALLY saying it… The End is Near. lol
Ok, I don’t often really get offended at things anymore, but this is…this is sick and wrong and..the Ark of Hope makes me really mad!
This makes me want to do something, and I can’t think of anything at all to do. In lieu of that, it makes me want to go off and hide in some small village in Africa or South America where changes will take much longer to occur. It’s both enraging and frightening; especially the part about it being used in education. It makes me sick.
Yeah, there’s a lot of this kind of stuff out there– no conspiracy theory necessary. But of all the real-life cabal’s in the world, none of them has garnered enough support yet to throw the earth’s axis off tilt yet. Just a couple of other examples include the North American Union and the North American Super Highway thingy that Ron Paul likes to rant about. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Kyoto Treaty. The sheer number of such radical (albeit impotent) efforts is more of cause for concern than the actual authority of any one of them. The rate at which these things are cropping up is just a symptom of the fact that people are increasingly eager to embrace a unified, powerful, anti-moral world order. And THAT has yet to be seen…
Oh, there’s *not* a lot of THIS kind of stuff out there.
At least not something that’s being implemented as effectively as this. But you’re right, the only missing piece here is for a specific person to step up and say “I will make all this happen.” What disturbs me the most isn’t the “one world government”, it’s the “one world religion” – what Michael Youssef calls the ABC (Anything But Christianity) religion.
The end times are near, eh Abe?
C’mon man, people have been saying that since the dawn of time. How many times have the 7th Day Adventists been wrong? It was comical after like the 2nd time, now it’s just sad.
Sorry man! End times aren’t coming, enjoy life.
Yes they are!
