UNsustainable Cartoons
By Barry Nathan
With Additional Commentary by Rosa Koire and Michael Shaw
(c) 2012
The
book addresses, through satirical cartoons, ridicule, caricature,
exaggeration, humor and descriptive text, the oppressive entrenchment
and agenda of a global bureaucracy. The foot soldiers of this agenda are
generally unelected bureaucrats marching toward “The New World Order,”
sometimes known as “Sustainable America” but essentially an outcome of
the “United Nations Smart Growth Agenda 21 Sustainable Development”
program. While denying the validity of this program, and claiming only
to be involved in benign and rational community redevelopment
(“Communitarianism”) the American Planning Association (APA) is, in
reality, implementing the identical policies of radical global human
reorientation as expressed in Agenda 21. In order to define and clarify
this as a serious and dangerous threat to freedom, words and pictures
are used humorously, irreverently, simply, directly, and profoundly. A
special target for lampoon in the book is the use of ‘designer jargon’
words such as ‘unsustainable’, ‘smart’, ‘consensus,’ ‘green’, which
are, amongst many others, designed to neutralize opposition to the
movement.
The
objective of the book is to help citizens understand how they will
become impacted by the soft tyranny and policies of activists under the
guise of environmentalism.
The
reader will become informed, through the medium of cartoon humor in a
few words and pictures capturing the ironies and seriousness of the
threat to freedom in an unconventional manner.
The
book is comprised of 59 black and white cartoon illustrations, color
cover plus 8 pages of descriptive text, 8 ½ x 11 portrait format.
