Land: off limits to humans
By Henry Lamb
� 1999 WorldNetDaily.com
Suppose half the land in the United States were suddenly declared
"off limits" to people, and most of the remaining half were
managed by government agencies to assure that the needs of
"non-human populations" were given priority over the needs of
humans. Grounds for another civil war?
Had the transformation been declared suddenly, and publicly,
there would undoubtedly be a public uprising of civil war
proportions. The transformers are far too smart for that.
Instead, the transformation plan is buried in tons of boring
bureaucratic bunk that rarely catches a reporter's eye.
Nevertheless, government agencies are quietly going about the
task of taking control of every square inch of American soil in
order to convert "at least half" of the lower 48 into wilderness,
while managing most of the remaining half for "conservation
objectives," forcing the people into so-called "sustainable
communities."
This plan was first published in the United States in 1992 by
Dave Foreman, co-founder of Earth First! and now a director of
the Sierra Club. Even though the plan was written by Dr. Reed
Noss, and funded by The Nature Conservancy and the Audubon
Society, no one took it very seriously. After all, who could take
seriously the idea of locking up half the country beyond the
reach of people?
The Department of Interior took it seriously, as did the
Environmental Protection Agency. Both federal agencies, under the
direct instruction of Al Gore, changed dramatically their
policies relating to land management. Both agencies adopted the
idea that human beings were to be considered a "biological
resource," and that ecosystem protection would be elevated to the
same priority level as "human health."
The United Nations took it seriously. Foreman's plan is named
specifically, as "central" to the biodiversity protection scheme
required by the Convention on Biological Diversity, in an
official U.N. publication entitled, Global Biodiversity
Assessment. Sadly, private landowners are now taking the plan
seriously, even though they have no idea that the plan even
exists. In South Florida, Jared Figley is being pressured by a
state agency to leave the land his family has ranched for four
generations. In Pennsylvania, Bob Learzaf's land, purchased by
his great-grand-uncle in 1923, is being taken from him by the
feds -- without compensation. From one end of the country to the
other, people are being squeezed off their land under some
pretense of protecting the environment.
What we are now just beginning to see is hardly the tip of the
iceberg. Dozens of federal programs have been launched to
implement Foreman's plan incrementally. The U.S. Man and the
Biosphere Program (USMAB) is working to expand 47 U.N. Biosphere
Reserves in the United States, each of which consists of
wilderness areas, "managed" areas, and "zones of transition,"
which are used to continually expand the area under government
domination.
Al Gore's Clean Water Initiative, and Clinton's Land Legacy
Initiative, are both designed to extend federal jurisdiction over
private land in the name of protecting the environment. At the
same time, the President's Council on Sustainable Development is
waging war on urban sprawl by promoting "visioning councils" to
transform American cities into "sustainable communities." Without
any public announcement, without any congressional debate, and
certainly without the consent of the governed, the federal
government is transforming America to conform to the plan Foreman
published in 1992.
"No," say the feds, "we're just trying to protect the
environment." That's the same "feds" who for six years denied
using pyrotechnics at Waco, led by the chief fed who "... did not
have sex with that woman."
Many, if not most, of the state and federal field workers have no
idea that the policies they are implementing are even related to
a grand plan to transform America. They are just doing as they
are told, often defending the integrity of their agency, while
being used by their superiors to subvert the very foundations of
American liberty.
Private property rights are constantly under attack as the major
obstacle to "institutional environmental management." Property
rights advocates are also attacked as "anti-environment"
activists. Private owners are, by far, the best caretakers of the
land. The problem is, private owners may not care for their land
in the same way that the government thinks it should be cared
for. By bringing the awesome power of government to bear on
landowners individually, through its myriad programs, the
government is succeeding in transforming America. Should private
landowners wake up, and realize that what's happening to their
neighbors will soon be happening to them, there may well be an
uprising.
