This is the story of David (aka Lois Alt, a 62-year-old grandmother and longtime electrician for the construction industry, who invested her life savings in her West Virginia chicken farm.) vs. Goliath (aka the EPA). The EPA accused Lois of polluting the stream next to her chicken farm. Lois was having none of it and sued the EPA.

Even though there is much evidence to prove that Global Warming is a hoax, and that climate change is a natural occurrence of nature, which means that it is next to impossible to know if man plays a role in climate change, Obama and his leftists continue full speed ahead by creating Climate Change hubs all across America.

This article does a very nice job of explaining the true purpose of the Obama Climate Change Hubs as simply “another power grab by the federal government to exercise control over farmers and ranchers”. The likely outcome is to put the small farmer out of business leaving the track clear for the large corporations who deal in food production. Remember it is much easier for the government to take control over a few large corporations than millions of small family farms. To learn more follow this link.

One more point. This article provides a map of the locations of the Climate Change Hubs. Might these hubs simply be the first evidence that the regionalization of America has begun in earnest?

A conservation easement is a restriction placed on a piece of property to reduce usage of the resources (natural or man-made) associated with the parcel. The easement is either voluntarily sold or donated by the landowner, and constitutes a legally binding agreement that is usually permanent and theoretically protects land for future generations.  Conservation Easements have become one of the tools of choice for taking control of private property without actually needing to purchase the land outright.

Conservation easements negatively affect our tax base and increase the price of privately owned land but are justified because “Bambi needs a home”. To that it should be said that without the existence of conservation easements there are still wildlife habitats, farmland, and open spaces for Bambi AND income and property tax generation while not driving the cost of privately owned land through the roof.

While this article was published in 2008, you should feel comfortable extending the lines on the graphs that include data only up until the year 2005. Rest assured that the effort to control privately owned land through the use of conservation easements has done nothing but increase since 2005.

In summary, this article about conservation easements is fantastic. It will allow you to learn the history of conservation easements, how they work, the many disadvantages they have, not just for those who voluntarily give up their land, but for the rest of the citizens, and so much more. This is a critical read if you are attempting to convince officials that property rights are under attack in America. To learn more, follow this link.

The goal of the Wildlands Project is to re-wild over 50% of the United States back to the condition it was before Christopher Columbus arrived in America. That will require moving a lot of citizens off of the rural lands. One of the strategies used to clear the land of man is to re-introduce the large carnivore.

In 1998 the Mexican Wolf was reintroduced to the Southwest. In the last 15 years in Catron County, New Mexico the wolf population and the size of its hunting territory has expanded greatly to the point that pets and children are no longer safe outside of their homes. Children are now expected to somehow safely get to their bus stop, and once there wait inside cages for their bus to arrive in order to not be attacked by wolves. This is a true glimpse into the sustainable development future where man is caged and the animals roam free-not to mention a really creepy way for six year olds to begin and end their school day. link
