Thus the participation of Roger Meiners in a book that disparages environmentalism as "tyranny" and equips land barons with oily, pro-corporate rhetoric in the guise of a "dramatic report" on the "nationwide rebellion to defend private property rights against environmentalist tyranny," an argument reiterated as the theme of a recent two-hour Fox News (R. Ailes) Network documentary. LAND RIGHTS The 1990s' Property Rights Rebellion edited by Bruce Yandle (reviewed by Jim Powell, June 1995) Unless you've been on the receiving end of environmental laws, it's hard to grasp the terrible tyrannical power they have unleashed. This gripping book documents environmentalist tyranny, reports on the heartening rebellion against it and provides information which can help government victims can seek justice. Contributors include Roger E. Meiners, CIA. ‹ Alex Constantine
