Toward a wilderness utopia: Henry Lamb shows how U.N. is seizing control of U.S. land
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | Saturday, March 16, 2002 | Henry Lamb

Few people know – including most congressmen – that the management of 73,270,583 acres of the United States is determined by 34 non-Americans, who are elected by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. This land – larger than Tennessee and Kentucky combined – is distributed in 47 U.N. Biosphere Reserves, managed according to principles and guidelines established by the Man and the Biosphere International Coordinating Council, and set forth in the "Seville Strategy" and the "Statutory Framework."

The U.S. Biosphere Reserves are a small part of a global network of 411 similar reserves, which are the starting point for the implementation of the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity.

Each Biosphere Reserve consists of a "core wilderness" area, surrounded by a buffer zone, managed for conservation objectives – both of which are surrounded by an "outer" buffer zone, also called a "zone of cooperation." The function of a Biosphere Reserve is to continually expand, and to eventually "connect" with each other through "corridors" of wilderness.

The Southern Appalachian Biosphere Reserve was designated in 1988 as the 517,000-acre Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Today, the U.N. lists this reserve as 36,727,139 acres, with the zone of cooperation reaching from Birmingham, Ala., to Roanoke, Va. Neither Congress, nor the legislatures of any of the affected states, debated or approved the designation or the management plan.

At the first meeting of the delegates to the Convention on Biological Diversity, Peter Bridgewater, then-chairman of the MAB Council, offered the network of Biosphere Reserves as the beginning of implementation for the Convention. The United States has not ratified this treaty. Nevertheless, our land is being managed as if we were a party to the treaty.

The ultimate objective is to convert as much as half of the land area of the United States to "core wilderness areas," which are off-limits to humans, with government management of most of the remaining land "for conservation objectives." This leaves only "sustainable communities" for people, which are described by Science magazine as "islands of human habitat surrounded by wilderness."

This scenario is not idle speculation. The plan is well documented in the 1,140-page U.N. publication Global Biodiversity Assessment, which names "The Wildlands Project" as central to the management scheme required by the Convention on Biological Diversity. The Wildlands Project, developed by Dr. Reed F. Noss, under contract with The Nature Conservancy and the Audubon Society, calls for "at least half" of the lower 48 states to be set aside as wilderness. Through an incredibly well-orchestrated campaign, hundreds of foundation-funded so-called environmental organizations, assisted by federal and state agency personnel are working to see that land is converted to wilderness, corridors to connect the wilderness areas are developed, and regulations are put into place to control the use of "buffer zones." Still, there has been no congressional debate or approval of this land management regime.

Congress has looked only at small segments of the land management regime in isolation – never at the total picture as described in the "Seville Strategy," the "Statutory Framework," the "Global Biodiversity Assessment" or the "Wildlands Project." Consequently, the nation's land is being transformed into a utopian vision conceived by a handful of international socialists.

Just as the nest of environmental extremists have worked to expand the Southern Appalachian Biosphere Reserve, another nest is working to expand "Yellowstone to Yukon," an area that contains several Biosphere Reserves, and seeks to control all the land between Utah and Alaska.

When the New World Mine was on the brink of satisfying more than $33 million in permit requirements, the Greater Yellowstone Coalition, with assistance from the Clinton administration, called upon UNESCO to declare Yellowstone to be "in danger" and thereby triggered regulatory authority to stop the mining operation, even though it was on private property.

The Mexican-border area is also a hot-spot of expansion for U.N. Biosphere Reserves, including a border region that reaches 62 miles on either side of the border. A major goal here is to eventually eliminate the border altogether. Development activity in the region that utilizes federal or international funds must be approved by a committee of un-elected environmentalists and agency bureaucrats.

Environmental extremists think this situation is wonderful. They have been working for years to achieve this result. Far too few people – including congressmen – are even aware of the transformation, and don't want to be bothered by the evidence. Therefore, day by day, our land of the free is being transformed into the land of government control.

I wish I could get our politicians interested in these matters, but they don't have the time or staff who can reflect the blinding glare either. Any questions you have can be directed to Carry_Okie for expert analysis.

Are you aware that the United Nations supports the breaking down of all international borders for free access to all who wish to cross them?

It is precisely this issue that causes me to try to inform people what the real stakes are with regard to illegal immigration, and the UN. If the UN gets it's way, half of Mexico will immigrate to the United States within ten years.

Then they'll vote in the same type of cretons that gave them their miserable life in Mexico, and you'll live under their rule.

Who is behind the United Nations power grab?

A powerful network of Americans in government, business, academia, and the media have conspired to empower the UN. One noteworthy "insider" is David Rockefeller -- head of the super-rich family that donated the ground for UN headquarters. He told an elite group in Germany in 1991: "We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine ... whose directors have attended our meetings and respected promises of discretion for almost 40 years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to ... publicity during those years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government." Here is a sampling of what other globalists have said:

"We must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government." - Walter Cronkite, famous CBS news anchor

"Nationhood as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single authority." - Strobe Talbot, Former Deputy Secretary of State

"With respect to U.S. policy, when it comes to our role as a member of the Security Council [of the United Nations] we obviously are bound by UN resolutions." - Colin Powell, Secretary of State

Support your President........ who pays the UN costs to overthrow the American way of life with your tax dollars. Continue to just sit on your ass and I promise that in very few years the American way of life will be history.

"who pays the UN costs to overthrow the American way of life with your tax dollars."

The very FIRST order of business for Congress last year, while Republicans still had the majority in the Senate,
was to authorize back payments to the UN.
8 years of klintoon to clean up and this was their 1st priority.

Free Vulcan, if you think Ed Fallon is nutz, wait until you read this.

Thanks for the bump, B4. I may be able to take some time to delve into this over the summer months. If you see additional thread on this subject, I'd appreciate your bumping me.

You presume Mexicans prefer to suffer?
Fox wants US absentee voters because the Mexican people booted and abhor the PRI.

As for UN plans, all the more reason to strengthen our relationships and single chunk of land.

FWIW, my neighbors are Hispanics of unknown legal status and your reply describes them.
No blanket amnesty - No blanket statements ;)

The situation seems to be improving down south, let's hope it continues.

Does the UN have any connnection or activity currently in Mexico?

Oh please, we mustn't use the word Amnesty. It's not this season's flavor. We must talk about work permits or some other euphamism. Haven't you gotten the memo? Hey Trent, have your staff send feinswinesuksass a copy of that memo!

FWIW: There are people who cross the street with the light. There are those who go to the end of the line and wait. There are those who get car insurance. There are those who pay for their children's education. There are those who pay for their own medical care, or purchase insurance. There are those who go to an embasey, fill out the paperwork and wait their turn. And there are those that do none of these things.

I've met both types.
