The United Nations is quietly encouraging a policy of making all countries adopt a host of new laws and regulations aimed at creating a new world order with international control by its target year of 2030. Evidence of this is provided by various U.N. management reports calling for a different world direction away from the post-World War II way of life and the way people have been governed by individual States. These reports claim that the U.N. intends to “reshape the world for the better,” by means of a common (U.N.) agenda driven by solidarity as prescribed by its declarations on human and associated rights, such as those for reparations for indigenous people.

The Lions were looking to make it 5 out of 5 for a perfect start to the season when they took on third placed Wandella on Saturday.
