Recent reports indicate federal bureaucrats are finalizing the details of a behemoth new Environmental Protection Agency mandate that would supersede property owners’ rights on any piece of land that contains any body of water – including a ditch that fills with rain water.
Heritage Foundation Agricultural Policy Research Fellow Daren Bakst explained the ramifications of the rule, which will update the Clean Water Act of 1972, in an interview with The Blaze.
“Property owners will not be able to engage in activities they should be able to engage in,” he said. “This will be devastating to private property rights.”

Obama clearly has a pathological need to get in everyone’s face.
The guy is one sick puppy.
This land ain’t your land,
This land ain’t our land,
From California,
To the New York Island............
From another Commie Bastard...............
Good tune on circumstances.
Ok, Show of hands, who didn’t see this coming when that traitor, racist, incompetent Gina McCarthy was appointed to head the EPA, anyone, Beuller?
Contact your Sheriff and remind him it is unconstitutional and will not stand.
The president is just the head of the snake. Blame Congress which surrendered its power to the executive branch, blame the regulatory state that broadly interpreted the law to increase government control, and blame the courts that consistently uphold such unconstitutional transgressions.
AGENDA 21!
Shoot, shovel, shut up. That pertains to regulators on my land.

Basically the only intrastate land that the Founding States gave the feds control over are public use lands (1.8.5), mail roads (1.8.7) and land for government use as described in Clause 17 of Section 8 of Article I, the feds having to buy the land with the consent of a state in most cases imo. Corrections welcome.
So wake up patriots. Athough the states do need to protect the nation’s water resources, the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate the nation’s water resources.
But a consequence of the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, the corrupt Senate failed to stop the delegation of such constitutionally nonexistant powers to the EPA.
The 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and a bunch of corrupt senators along with it.
The American "public" land grab greatly predates McCarthy, although she's brought the corruption to new heights.
The One World socialists won't be happy until we're all forced into urban tenements and the concept of private property rights is eliminated.
Agenda 21 marches on. Anyone who calls it by its real name is usually branded a conspiracy nut. People obstinately refuse to believe what's happening right in front of them.
This phase of the problem begins with the SCOTUS decision in Rapanos v United States in 2006.
Up until McCarthy came along EPA was trying to handle the problem by issuing "guidance papers" to deal with the chaos created by SCOTUS. The decision to rewrite the rule came in 2014, which was after McCarthy came along.
Gotta get past the ole 2nd Amendment first.
Way past time to start firing back at these petty tyrants.
Yep, the NWO knows people are on to them, so they are speeding things up.
“The administration’s decree to unilaterally expand federal authority is a raw and tyrannical power grab that will crush jobs,” he declared.
THAT is Boehner’s quote? He can’t find something more passionate and convincing to say about something this far reaching? Does the GOP have any balls, communication skills or imagination at all?
"Since the Reagan years of the 1980s, Republicans have often given priority to local control and to grazing, mining and petroleum production, while Democrats have more often emphasized environmental concerns even when granting mining and drilling leases.[29] In September 1996, then President Bill Clinton used his authority under the Antiquities Act to establish the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in southern Utah, the first of now 20 national monuments established on BLM lands and managed by the agency.[7] The establishment of Grand Staircase-Escalante foreshadowed later creation of the BLM's National Landscape Conservation System in 2000. "
Use of the Antiquities Act authority, to the extent it effectively scuttled a coal mine to have been operated by Andalex Resources, delighted recreation and conservation enthusiasts but set up larger confrontations with state and local authorities.[30][31] The changing demographics in the western states have led some to suggest that the BLM, long derided as the "Bureau of Livestock and Mines," is in the midst of becoming the "Bureau of Landscapes and Monuments."[3]
“The guy is one sick puppy.”
He is indeed.
Communist Manifesto I
By Karl Heinrich Marx (1848)
1. Abolition of private property in land and application of all rents of land to public purpose.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the state.
etc...
Does any of this ring a bell today?
We are now at the threshold of sovereign state totalitarianism, and they (those who are in control of our government), are so close they can smell it.
IF WE CANNOT OWN OR CONTROL OUR LAND, WE ARE SIMPLY SHEEP OR CATTLE, TO BE CONTROLLED BY THOSE WHO DO!
In adoption of the scenario we are now confronted with by the EPA, individual ownership and hence freedom is lost!
The big change to BLM and the federal lands came in 1976 when Congress enacted the Federal Land Policy and Management Act(FLPMA).
In 1976 there were 3 wild and scenic rivers. By 2000, 36.
In 1976 there were 57,000 acres of National Conservation Areas and National Monuments. By 2000, 19 million acres.
In 1976 there were 177 threatened and endangered species. By 2000, 511.
In 1976 there were 0 acres of Designated Wilderness and Wilderness Study Areas. By 2000, 23,445,495 acres.
In 1976 there were 0 areas of Critical Environmental Concern covering 0 acres. By 2000, 838 areas covering 14 million acres.

I don't mean to poke fun at you but Agenda 21 has no bearing whatsoever in the US.
Instead, over a period of about 17 years(1965-1982) Congress enacted many pieces of legislation that created the modern environmental movement and land/water policies. This would include but not be limited to: Land and Water Conservation Fund, National Environmental Policy Act, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Safe Drinking water Act, Magnusan Act(ocean fisheries), FLPMA, Healthy Forest Initiative as well as OSHA and MSHA.
