Question of the Day, Aug 1
Should the feds release their control of western lands? Is the BLM a terrorist organization? If so, which BLM do you mean?
Yes, release control of our western lands before Hillary sells them to Russia or Iran or whoever….
It’s funny, one of the demoncrat politicians has convinced herself, that, although the feds are already letting the Chinese drill on our land, that the states will sell it off. Horrifically, to private citizens. You can’t have that.
Is the BLM a terrorist organization?
Sure – the federal government in general fits this bill nicely making them the largest of this type of organization on the planet. No one kills, steals and generally disrupts the lawful nature of our world more than the US federal government and it’s little buddies in NATO.
I’ve pondered and asked this question,”How does the Federal Gooberment OWN 90+% of the State of Nevada” ?
The only ownership the Federal Gooberment should have are military bases and Federal Buildings ( with permission from the state in which they reside in ) .
Yes, yes, and both.
Yes and don’t forget the BLM, IRS, DOJ, DoD, FBI, CIA, VA, State Dept, Dept of Ed, EPA, FEMA, ATF, US Emigration Service, US Border Patrol, USDA, CDC, Health Dept, FCC and I’d bet 50 other Tyrannical Federal Agencies under Obama.
Hmmmm, does BLM use violence to try and obtain political goals? Why yes! Yes it does.
This applies to both “BLM” organizations.
IIRC, once land becomes a state, all land within that state is subject to the control of that state in perpetuity for the PEOPLE. The leader and people of the BLM are unelected and the rules, regulations, guidelines and dictates are voted on or approved by the PEOPLE. In effect we have no say whatsoever in the administration of public lands.
They are required under law to relinquish control of these lands. BLM has become a tyrannical institution and pretty close to a terrorist organization in their deeds.
As far as the other BLM goes, anyone supporting that group does not have two brain cells to rub together. Fuck’em.
Not that simple, boys. To cede control of federal lands back to the states, AT THIS TIME, would be a colossal mistake. Here’s why. Most states have huge holes in their budgets, and that is only going to get worse. Giving them an asset they can sell to prop up their pension obligations and bond issues means they would sell rapidly. Who has the all the counterfeit money right now? The TARP banks, hedge funds, China, the multi-nationals. Would you feel better if goldman owned 80% of Nevada, with all the mineral rights, instead of the feds? Not me. Study what they are doing to Greece. Or read ‘Confessions of an Economic Hitman’. Don’t be a sucker. Pairing economic liberty with creation of an oligarchy has been one of the most successful cons in the history of the world. Think it through.
Actually Star, you are quite wrong. The mineral payments ( see PILT) that the feds get far exceed the cost of operating the lands in most Western states. You are spouting the same false narrative that western dimocrats have been spouting for years.
Back in PA Mike
What’s your point mike? I didn’t say a word about costs. I said if the feds give it to the states at this point in time, we will lose the asset to the oligarchy. Am i wrong? How? I’m absolutely right about this. Got a different scenerio? I’m willing to listen
“Huge holes in their budgets”. No, you didn’t mention money or mention a word about costs. At least edit your comment rather than lie about it when it’s right there. LMAO
No assets will be lost, in fact, if you do a little research, you’ll see that virtually all state legislation related to this prohibits the states from selling any.
So, in closing, you are wrong on all fronts.
Like jim always hits me, i want facts. You do the research, you’re the one making the claim. What state prohibits sale? And what would prevent a state legislature from changing the law? Mike, i’ll be glad to forward ‘confessions of an ecomomic hitman’ and Naomi Klein’s ‘shock doctrine’ to the boss, and he can get them to you to read if you want. Good foundation stuff, about how the extraction game is played.
Hmm…white man piss and moan about land being taken . Me want’em land back..you can keep’em Squaw Hillary .
When land is returned me mak’em LLPOH HNIC .
Ed said only Native American posers adopt High Sounding Indian names. And How in the fuck do you propose to make LLPOH Half-Nigger In Chief when he isn’t half of anything? When he shoves his moccasin up your behind, you will see he never does anything halfway.
Much of this “Federal” land should be parceled off and given to real, honest to god, homesteaders willing to actually move there and work it to whatever agricultural end they please. The rule should be to “improve” the land not making it a worthless dump.
From what I’ve seen of the BLM it’s like all the other worthless gov agencies as cited by RHS jr. Trump could get rid of 1/2 of them and no one would even notice, except those cut off from the gov teat.
The Feds were supposed to own military bases, shipyards and such. No mention of owning majorities of entire states. Mission creep at its worst; lying theft as well. The FedGov needs to be trimmed down to size (MAYBE 1/10 of current, in all operations).
