Only by public discussion and local action coordination, can this project maximize its chances for reaching its objectives. I am very interested in joining forces with those who want to grab on to Goal 16. It relates to overhauling dysfunctional institutional culture and creating equal justice for all. If this can be linked with the UDHR and the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights - we will be able to end the lawless practices that warp the economy away from dealing with universal quality of life and protecting the health of the biosphere.

All the stakeholders are leftist socialists groups. They are not transparent when discussed on the community level. The SDGs are admirable goals but if the politicians and stakeholders that reap the benefits are very quiet and in most cases invisible because of the Progressive dialogue used to bury the true motivation. Can you explain to me why the UN and sympathetic socialist governments are not openly discussing the relevance of the SDGs since the tax payers are flipping the bill and currently the beneficiaries(non profits, NGOs, and approved organizations) get the $s? What about the end game, the UNPA?

This offering will begin with a consideration of the Eden project and progress to an explanation of its theoretical grounding. Included will be a look at this project's promise as well as the methodology by which it will achieve its stated goals. With significant international support for its methodology now in place, it is time to secure the financial commitment required to make this project a reality. To that end, I am appealing to all sectors of the global community. Because of the continuing deterioration in global dynamics, it is absolutely crucial that we do not allow ourselves to be further deceived by the overt claims of militancy. Force of arms never was, nor will it ever be capable of controlling the willingness of the hopeless to sacrifice their lives for what they believe. Hence, divisiveness and the "terrorism" that military imposition breeds is destined to increase if things don't change. Only education stands any chance of neutralizing them both. And, it holds this promise through its ability to progress the rational side of human nature and the unity of purpose it structurally necessitates. In the past, man had just cause to believe that there was sufficient time to progress the human equation towards more idealistic imaginings. However, that has now changed. In its place, we must now work to ensure that there is sufficient "time" left for education to work its magic in order to prevent the use of weapons of mass destruction -- something that will surely push civilization into chaos and towards its ultimate demise. At present, given the growing instability in the World, the eventual outcome remains questionable. There is no doubt that we can continue to slap band-aids on growing problems with varying degrees of success. And, in addition to causing us to feel good, this activity provides immediate benefits to many who are in real need. But, only a globally acceptable initiative, founded upon unbiased education, can foster the type of cooperation needed to resolve the larger issues -- and thus avert the impending chaos that is now on the horizon. Among intellectuals, this conclusion has never been at issue. The problem has always been how to sculpt the approach. Thankfully, providence and exceptional need have once more converged to provide a solution to what was previously an irresolvable problem. It comes in the form of the Eden project, the world's first and only global peace initiative with any real chance for achieving what is truly needed -- multicultural convergence.

And that's just the first six million you murder

maybe you should put your hands in your pocket, or something.

[@tonyfurtado4868]

Ask yourself who controls the United Nations? Ask yourself who controls the Trilateral Commission? Ask yourself who controls the Committee for Foreign Relation? Ask yourself who controls the Biulderberg Group? Questions that all have the same answer.

[@MakeAsylumsGre4tAgain]

🎯 Sadly, most people are happy to be so lazy that they never even think to ask any questions, let alone investigate any that others bring up….

It's more of the same, spaffing money on backward, corrupt countries, knowing full well that it's a complete waste of time.

[@Stoptheliars]

The UN sucks they just want complete control. War is what America gets for being part of the UN they treat us like their enforcement division to steal control of energy while leading us in to communism which is what we joined the UN to fight.
