Hillary: Halt all fossil fuel extraction on federal lands
Canada Free Press ^ | 02/07/16 | Dan Calabrese

Go big or go home.

If you enjoyed paying $1.59 a gallon for gas this past weekend, understand a few things. To the extent domestic production affects this, the oil industry is mostly gettings its resources on private lands. That’s because Obama, while he’s happy to take credit for the increased productivity and lower prices, is fighting new leases on federal lands wherever he can. That’s how he can reassure his left-wing base he’s an enemy of the oil industry while also taking credit for the low prices.

But there is some oil being extracted on federal lands, and if that stopped all at once, it would definitely have a significant and negative impact on prices. And according to Hillary Clinton, that’ exactly what she would do if she became president:

This from the Secretary of State that sold our uranium reserves to the Russians?

She and her advisors have calculated/polled that she needs to run to the left of Sanders on specific issues, and this is what she's trying to do. I personally don't think she has any core passions/issues, except being eternally famous and feeding her narcissistic ego.

Outside of where federal facilities sit, why is there federal land in our 50 states in the first place?

Remember when Drill Baby Drill was popular and Obama said we couldn’t drill our way out of the problem?

The reason for Federally held lands - we do not have a king. The Federal government has assumed the prerogatives of royal privilege, and regards itself the authority by which these lands may be granted use of by other entities or individuals. Theoretically, every acre the Federal government holds title to may be signed over to the states, other entities, or individuals, and in fact, the Homesteading Acts were just such vehicles for conveying title.

Under royal rule, ALL title to land was held by the king, who then gave leaseholds or freeholds to favored individuals. Upon the death of those individuals, title to the land reverted to the king, and the vast holdings of the king were to be used as his private preserve. That is one of the reasons Robin Hood got in so much trouble, he was poaching on the king’s lands. But since the king’s men could not be everywhere, the Sheriff of Nottingham was charged with pursuit of the Merry Men, acting as a bounty hunter, with the offer of whatever price it was that was set on the outlaws’ heads.

Click on the pic to find out that we can't drill our way to low gasoline prices. We have to give money to Solyndra, instead...

Answer, because over 50% of people will perform sinful acts for the largess the FedGov gives them, or what IT may give them in the future.

My inlaws own a house in BC Canada which resides on Indian trusteed land. The lease (100 year) reads exactly as you describe.

Because the feds never gave it to the States. Up until a few decades ago it was no big deal. Ranchers got to ranch on it, hunters had free reign to hunt on it, oil wells could be drilled, the National Parks were for people, not animals, etc, etc.

Now that the lefties have a firm hold on the nation, it is much like Alloysteel said. Unless leftism can be curbed, it will not belong before only the elite can own private land.

We are sooooooooooo screwed if Cruz or Trump are outvoted by illegals and the dead.

I suspect if Hitlery gets in, she’ll start with outright gun confiscation aided and abetted by the RINO’s.

she desperately wants us subservient to the Middle East and Russia, and return us to the stone age.

No, Hillary, we Americans do not agree with your enviro-wacko buddies.

“The reason for Federally held lands - we do not have a king. The Federal government has assumed the prerogatives of royal privilege, and regards itself the authority by which these lands may be granted use of by other entities or individuals.”

It is this reason that Texas when it joined the Union, unlike most other states, kept its state owned land and did not turn it over to the feds.
