Marking First International Day of Happiness … Event on ‘Happiness, Well-being’ …
Press Release, United Nations, un.org | March 15, 2013

To mark the first International Day of Happiness, the United Nations Academic Impact of the Department of Public Information will host, on Wednesday, 20 March, a conversation on “Happiness and well-being: Essential for a sustainable future.” …

The General Assembly, by resolution A/RES/66/281, proclaimed 20 March as the International Day of Happiness. The text recognizes the “relevance of happiness and well-being as universal goals […] and the importance of their recognition in public policy objectives”; and the need for “a more inclusive, equitable and balanced approach to economic growth that promotes sustainable development, poverty eradication, happiness and the well-being of all peoples.” …

Sustainable development means living like a serf – without property rights – in a managed feudalistic post-consumer society in which all resources are rationed. That’s what Agenda 21 is about.

The measurement of “well-being” is an objective mentioned in the Rio+20 documents (updating Agenda 21). Constant re-education or propaganda is also part of the agenda.

In addition to propaganda, I think it’s likely that they have in mind intensified psychiatric drugging – already widespread – in order to induce a form of happiness in which people are made to be “happy” in spite of their lower standard of living, or to love their servitude as Aldous Huxley put it. Huxley (brother of UNESCO and WWF founder Julian Huxley) said people would be happy in his drugged-up hypothesized Brave New World form of scientific dictatorship even when they ought not to be happy.

In addition to the creation of “well-being”, the “balanced approach” in the context of “sustainable development” also means continuing the depopulation policies and the funding of abortion & sterilization worldwide (euphemism is “maternal health”). That’s also implied by the phrase “poverty eradication”.

Otherwise I don’t see how “poverty eradication” would come about in such a controlled society – except also by euthanasia. Also, the logic of measuring overall “happiness” – as the standard of living declines and less people have families to support them – implies there may be a greater push for euthanasia – to keep the “happiness” stats up.
