The Columbia River Treaty could mean the death of Idaho
Idahoans for Liberty ^ | June 2, 2016 | Karen Schumacher

Posted on 06/04/2016 3:59:20 PM PDT by Twotone

With the new United Nations (UN) and federal government grand plan to steal what remains of our land through the ruse of ecosystem management, there is one grand daddy that will take all of Idaho in one fell swoop.

In 1944 the United States and Canada began talks to jointly manage the Columbia River which crossed the border. Both came to an agreement in 1961 creating a treaty that would provide flood control, generate hydropower, and meet irrigation needs. This treaty, known as the ColumbiaTreaty, was finalized in 1961 and implemented in 1964. Because the river crossed borders, called transboundary, it was also recognized as an “international treaty”.

In fact, the International Joint Commission (IJC), created from the Boundary Waters Treaty in 1909 to help with treaty negotiations, was involved with the Columbia Treaty. The IJC created the International Columbia River Engineering Board (ICREB) in 1944 to study the Columbia basin waters, soils, population, economics, hydrology, and existing dams, while considering “the basin as a whole, without regard for the international border.”

The agreement stipulated that Canada would provide water storage with dams, then be compensated for water release that generated hydropower. Although not specifically stated as a “basin” treaty, the treaty does reference the Columbia basin.

This is an excellent discussion on federally owned lands...

http://www.c-span.org/video/?403404-1/discussion-federally-controlled-lands-western-states

The bottom line is that no state can be treated differently by the federal gov’t. Eastern states got control of their lands. It’s time for the Feds to release western lands back to the states. And I can’t see any Republican-held House or Senate going along with this, but if the Dems get control? All bets off.

And Trump has indicated he thinks the feds should continue to ‘protect’ western lands. That’s one issue he is extremely WRONG on & needs to be educated about.

“there will be no justification for any one of us to use any land because of ecosystem damage we cause”

I didn’t watch the whole video but the information is excellent.

Given the remote possibility that you have not seen the following video, it includes the points of state equal footing mentioned in the C-SPAN video, and also mentions the Resolution of 1780 which deals with the fed’s power of disposal.

“I suggest making them wear a Uniform ... Florescent Orange with a reflective white stripe right down the center and another horizontal about nipple high, or they can go home.”

I think it would be better to give them a brown coat and a cap with antlers for hiking in the Wyoming wilderness around the first of October

Groups like the UN are deluded into thinking they can take over the U.S.A. So what are they going to do? Kill us all?

The Georgia Guidestones tell us that that "they" want to lower the world population to 500,000,000. If it's currently around 8 billion, guess what? 7.5 billion people have to die.

I wish Trump would boot the UN out of New York and turn the building into a luxury hotel.

First, buy it an 'rent" it to the various nations at an outrageous price - and make it gun-free, even for their security folks (give them a taste of their own medicine).

After that, he can kick them out and do the luxury bit.

Its about more than Idaho, folks. It’s about water and whether or not the U.N. will be able to take control of nature and our sovereign lands.
