Ohio bill would limit unelected officials from taking private land for recreational trails

Posted on March 13, 2013 by | Comments Off on Ohio bill would limit unelected officials from taking private land for recreational trails

All across America unelected bureaucrats are using eminent domain to take land from our citizens in order to build recreational trails/bike paths. For a clear and concise list why this is so terribly wrong for the property owners, taxpayers and our Constitution, read Mahoning County farmers fight eminent domain for bike trail.

Fortunately for property-rights-loving citizens in Ohio, State Representatives Don Manning, R-New Middletown, and Steve Hambley, R-Brunswick have introduced House Bill 476, which would restrict unelected government officials from using eminent domain to take private property. The solution would give property owners the right to involve their ELECTED officials in the final decision making process, which should ALWAYS be the case.

If you live in Ohio please put some wind at the backs of these fine men by sending them a support email or phone call. If you do not live in Ohio, you might want to educate your state legislator by sending this article to them.

Trump Pardons Ranchers Who Inspired Armed Stand Off

Posted on March 13, 2013 by | Comments Off on Trump Pardons Ranchers Who Inspired Armed Stand Off

Neither Communists nor Socialists believe in property rights. Neither do extreme environmentalists believe in property rights although for a different reason. Extreme environmentalists believe the ‘average Joe’ could not possibly know how to protect the land, so ‘average Joe’ should not be allowed to own land. Hence, the creation of the Wildlands Project (see Lesson 2 at www.agenda21course.com) with it goal to force citizens off of the land and into “human settlements” where they can be contained and controlled. The more land the federal (and state and local) government controls, the closer to fruition will be the Wildlands Project.

This is why the final outcome to the 2016 41 day stand-off between Ammon Bundy and his supporters and the Bureau of Land Management on a Oregon Wildlife Reserve is so very important. To be reminded of the facts of the two plus year saga and to celebrate the win for property rights (and slap-down to the Wildlands Project) watch this short video by clicking on this link.

Economic Freedom of the World Report

Posted on March 13, 2013 by | Comments Off on Economic Freedom of the World Report

Property rights have a direct and significant bearing on economic freedom/prosperity. When property rights are strong within a nation the likelihood of prosperity for its citizens is much greater. This report, created by the Frasier Institute, actually states “Protection of persons and their rightfully acquired property is a central element of both economic freedom and civil society. Indeed, it is the most important function of government.” For this reason it is encouraging to know the economic freedom for the United States, which had been in decline during the last decade, made a halt in 2017 under the guidance of the Trump administration. However it is also important to know the United States is not in the top ten most economically free countries as it once was. To read this informative report, click on this link.

Trump shrinks Bears Ears, Grand Staircase-Escalante monument in historic proclamation.

Posted on March 13, 2013 by | Comments Off on Trump shrinks Bears Ears, Grand Staircase-Escalante monument in historic proclamation.

Much of the land in the Western United States is held under the control of the federal government. If land has been claimed by the federal government through the use of the Antiquities Act, the land is to all and extents and purposes off limits to man. This means mineral resources, recreational resources, etc. will be of no use to this or future generations. In turn this diminishes our freedoms and our economic prosperity.

Some not so informed citizens believe the loss to our freedom and prosperity is worth it if it protects the land. The reality is quite the opposite. As the federal government took on the responsibility of managing more and more land, the federal government became less and less able to manage the undergrowth and deadfalls in the forests. Fires, whether caused by nature or arson, once started spread faster and were more likely to spread over a greater area causing a greater loss of human and wildlife and a greater loss of valuable natural resources. How is this a good thing for Bambi and her friends?

(Note: It is a good thing if you are trying to advance the Wildlands Project. See Lesson 3 at www.agenda21course.com for more info.)

This explains why the Executive Order by Donald Trump is so important. These two national parks still stay under the ownership of the federal government but allow the state and local governments more say in their management and a greater use of their resources. Those geographically closer to these parks are much more likely to invest the time and energy necessary to wisely use and maintain them. To learn more, click on this link.

Man Sues Gov’t over… a Frog?

Posted on March 13, 2013 by | Comments Off on Man Sues Gov’t over… a Frog?

Lesson 2 at the website www.agenda21course.com explained the goal of the Wildlands Project is to clear the rural lands so the animals can live without interacting with man. The lesson also went on to list some of the strategies used to clear the land. This article demonstrates the reality, that even though there is a new President in the White House, the EPA continues to use the Endangered Species Act to steal private property from the citizens. Please read this story of a determined Louisiana man, Edward Poitevent, who is refusing to allow the federal government to steal his land in order to create habitat for a frog that has not existed in Louisiana for at least 50 years by clicking on this link.

Property Rights are a Huge Concern Going into the 2016 Presidential Election and Beyond

Posted on March 13, 2013 by | Comments Off on Property Rights are a Huge Concern Going into the 2016 Presidential Election and Beyond

In America property rights have plummeted in the first decade and a half of the 21st century. No surprise then that the economy has also weakened during those years since property rights are a critical factor in creating a strong economy.

Key policies that have undermined property rights in America include excessive use of conservation easements and the Antiquities Act. These two property rights stealing tactics take more and more rural land out of private ownership and into the public domain (where little if any taxes are collected, the land is often poorly monitored, and the land and mineral resources below the ground will never be allowed to add to the economic prosperity of future generations).

Meanwhile property values in the suburbs will plummet once policies like Affirmatively Forwarding Fair Housing and other even more egregious regulations force low-income residents out of their neighborhoods and into the suburbs. Please follow these links to learn more about the destruction of our property rights and economy.

Wyoming welder, facing $16 M in fines, beats EPA in battle over stock pond

Posted on March 13, 2013 by | Comments Off on Wyoming welder, facing $16 M in fines, beats EPA in battle over stock pond

The EPA has been busy intimidating the property owners of America for decades. There power will only increase exponentially if the Waters of the United States rule (WOTUS), which will federalize all the water in America, is allowed to stand.

What would you do if the EPA showed up on your property and told you that you had not properly permitted your pond and you would be fined up to $37,500/day unless you filled it back in? Oh, yeh, you have several small children and a wife, all who need a roof over their head and three meals a day. Would you do the right thing and fight the EPA, since you know that you filed all the necessary permits in advance of building your pond? To learn more about how the brave Johnson family of Fort Bridger, Wyoming fought back and won against the federal environmental hammer known as the EPA, click on this link.

Kris Anne Hall: Why are the Bundy’s fighting for the Hammonds.

Posted on March 13, 2013 by | Comments Off on Kris Anne Hall: Why are the Bundy’s fighting for the Hammonds.

The goal of the Wildlands Project is to remove the citizens of America from the rural lands leaving the majority of the land for the sole use of the wild animals. Currently, the federal government owns more than half of the land in a dozen of our Western states, and is attempting to establish control over more in order to create massive belts of land extending from Mexico north up into Canada and Alaska for the sole use of wildlife. One way to justify the taking of more land is through the creation of, or extension of, national parks. Surely this is a reasonable and more importantly a legal thing for our federal government to do. After all, none of us grew up in a time when national parks did not exist. It is almost unimaginable that their existence could be challenged-or is it?

Please watch this fabulous video by Kris Anne Hall, constitutional lawyer, to learn the reality of the constitutional limits placed on the federal government in regards to land ownership. To watch this video, please click on this link.

Republicans OK $14M land-transfer lawsuit, say Utah must regain sovereignty

Posted on March 13, 2013 by | Comments Off on Republicans OK $14M land-transfer lawsuit, say Utah must regain sovereignty

Few things will give a fascist government power like preventing the ownership of property by the citizen. The Progressives on the Left are out to destroy property rights. They would argue that only the federal government can manage and protect the land effectively. Who cares that by controlling the state’s land the Feds destroy state sovereignty and deny the state’s the ability to use their own resources to reduce the tax burden on their citizens. To learn how Utah is fighting back against the Federal government’s overreach click on this link.
