Aggeration of Takings

Almost every day we receive volumes of information about government abuses from all over the country, mostly directed at rural landowners.  Every day we find more evidence of government, lobbyists and NGO (non-governmental organizations) conspiracies, complicity, con-games, backroom deals, propaganda, lies and distortions.  Here is just one more and it is difficult for us to believe that our government and environmental lobby groups would stoop to conspire against us, using our own military as their tool.  But conspire they have.
 
Once again, another rural landowner group is under a vicious, camouflaged attack by their government in remote Southeastern Colorado, as well as other areas of the country that sport military installations.  All of a sudden the military is out to condemn a whole bunch of remote Colorado for military operations, some 400,000 acres of private cattle ranches and range land. 
 
(See article at: http://www.springfieldcolorado.com/expand2.html)
 
Actually, the 18-year expansion plan could eventually condemn 2.5 million acres.
 
However, since the federal and state governments own about 55% of the entire United States and a sizeable portion of this land is in military installations, and since we trained our brave soldiers to fight in two World Wars and several police actions, on land the government now holds, why is it, all of a sudden, the military needs more of our private land?  An excellent question.  It turns out the military may only need a little more land for military operations.  But that's just a ruse.  Your U. S. Congress passed legislation that authorized the U. S. Army to team up with environmental groups (NGO's) to condemn private land under eminent domain for the sole purpose of implementing the Wildlands project   (see http://www.twp.org/cms/index.cfm?group_id=1000) as buffers around military operations.  The Army has turned "green" and "sustainable".
 
The Wildlands Project is a United Nations plan (part of Agenda 21, etc. - see http://www.un.org/esa/sustdev/documents/agenda21/index.htm)  to connect United Nations Biospheres (mostly our National Parks and heritage sites) with wildlife corridors, through private rural lands.   This is all being done by slight-of-hand, backdoor, sneaky, underhanded tactics, using the Army's ACUB program, sanctioned by the U. S. Congress.  Please take the time to read the Army's website on the "Army Compatible Use Buffer" (ACUB) Program.

Southeastern Colorado is only one of many installations in which the ACUB program will be implemented to condemn private land around military installations for the Wildlands Project and wildlife buffers. (see map below)

 

Here are the organizations that the Army has teamed up with to implement the ACUB program.
 
The Nature Conservancy, Trust for Public Lands, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Colorado Department of Transportation, Great Outdoors Colorado, Colorado Department of Natural Resources, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Florida Forever, The Conservation Fund, Hawaii North Shore Community Land Trust, Hawaii State Parks, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Parks and Trails Council of Minnesota, Crow Wing County, Fort Ripley Township, Crow Wing Township, Land Legacy, Department of Interior and the National Park Service.

The hidden plan in all of this, is to link up UN Biospheres  that have been designated in the U. S. (see map below) with wildlife corridors under the UN Wildlands project.  See:  the "Taking Liberties" website at: http://www.discerningtoday.org/ALF/TLmenu.html.  You won't believe it.

"Every time we turn around", we find more and more information on how your government is using every legislative trick they can divine, to drive rural landowners off their land for the sake of the God of Environment.  Now the U. S Congress has turned the military "green" and sanctioned an unholy alliance with radical environmental groups who will stop at nothing to gain control over every acre of land in America, the constitution be damned.  This action by our government and now the military, is just another systematic attack on our entire rural way of life, without any regard whatsoever to constitutionally protected property rights and just another egregious abuse of eminent domain.
 
If we are to have any chance of beating back this formidable enemy of freedom, rural landowners, all across America, must come together and unite in the defense of our liberty and property rights.  Please show your support for these besieged Colorado ranchers and rural landowners.  Send Kimmi Lewis, rancher and Chairman of the Colorado Independent Cattle Growers Association, an e-mail (mvrkim@rural-com.com) to let these great folks know that they are not alone  and that all rural landowners care what happens to our rural brethren, everywhere in America.  Mrs. Lewis is a stalwart fighter in this effort to protect the rural way of life in Southeastern Colorado against an attack by government, the military and radical environmentalists.  She needs to know you support her efforts and those of other landowners in this battle against government tyranny.

"THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF RURAL LANDOWNERS"
 
The National Association of Rural Landowners (NARLO) is a non-profit corporation, duly licensed in the State of Washington.  It was formed in response to draconian land use ordinances that were passed by King County in Washington State (Seattle) in the late Fall of 2004, after vociferous opposition from rural landowners.  NARLO's mission is to begin the long process of restoring, preserving and protecting Constitutional property rights and returning this country to a Constitutional Republic  Government has done a great job of dividing us up into little battle groups where we are essentially impotent at a national level.  We will change all that with the noisy voices and the vast wealth tied up in the land of the American rural landowner  The land is our power, if we will just use that power, before we lose it.  We welcome donations and volunteers who believe as we do, that government abuses against rural landowners have gone on for far too long and a day of reckoning is at hand.  To learn more, visit our website at www.narlo.org.
 
President Roosevelt, in his 1933 inaugural address said, ".. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself".  I maintain that the only thing we have to fear is unbridled government.  The only way unbridled government can exist is if WE THE PEOPLE allow it.
