At long last... A win for the ranchers By Mountain States Legal Foundation It must have been an open and shut case. Oral arguments occurred on December 10, 2003, in Montana federal district court; two days later, the court ruled for Stephen and Jean Roth of Darby, Montana. The court held that the Roths own an easement in the Bitterroot National Forest, created in 1897, and the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area, created in 1964, for Tamarack Lake dam and reservoir and four ditches that deliver water to the Roths' ranch. The Roths' victory was welcome news to landowners across the...

FLORIDA DONATES LAND FOR EXPANSION OF EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK - In another milestone for restoration of America’s Everglades, Florida today donated the last parcel of state-owned property needed to complete the massive expansion of Everglades National Park launched by President George H. W. Bush in 1989. A total of 42,000 acres of state land was donated to the federal government to accomplish plans to grow the park by 109,000 acres – a move necessary to restore the natural flow, habitat and wildlife of the famed River of Grass. “More than fifty years ago, Florida donated land to...

Returning to Earth Worship, Part 1 By Dr. Michael S. Coffman Ph. D. NewsWithViews.com September 29, 2003 Though few Christians are aware of it, the cry to "save the earth," "be sustainable" and "live in harmony with nature" is rooted in the ancient pantheistic religions that dominated the Egyptian, Babylonian, Grecian and Roman Empires. Former Vice President Gore even promotes them in his book Earth in the Balance, "...the prevailing ideology of belief in prehistoric Europe and much of the world was based on the worship of a single earth goddess, who was assumed to be the fount of all...

Wolves are being reintroduced to wildlands to drive people out, intentionally putting human life at risk for the sake of creating a UN biodiversity preserve. Across the nation, particularly in western states, ranchers are feeling the bite of the so-called "wolf recovery" program, which began with reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone National Park in 1995. Stemming from the Endangered Species Act (ESA), this program was followed three years later with the return of Mexican gray wolves in the Southwest, and similar initiatives are underway in the Midwest and Northeast. As the resurgent wolf packs thrive, they are inflicting serious economic damage...

When Earth First! co-founder, Dave Foreman, first voiced his vision in 1990, of wolves and grizzly bears roaming, unmolested by humans, through unbroken wilderness from Mexico to Canada – many people laughed. When Reed Noss first published his "Wildlands Project" in 1992, calling for the conversions of "at least half" of the United States to "core wilderness areas," surrounded by buffer zones in which human activity was to be severely limited – few people even noticed. When the U.S. Senate learned in 1994, that the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity embraced this "Wildlands Project" concept, it chose to not ratify...

Now hold on to your sneakers because here they come -- the largest group of eco-extremists ever assembled in one place will be meeting at State College on February 1. It is their second meeting in Pennsylvania. It's called the "Prospects for Recovery and Rewilding" (of PA) sponsored by the PA Wildlands Recovery Project (PWRP). Frankly, I have been hankering to write a story about steelheads and steelhead fishing. I am chomping at the bit to wade an ice-cold stream in below freezing temps and catch a 10-lb. steelhead on a fly rod. If this weather will break February might...

Turning Back the Clock on the West November 19, 2002 By Laura McCall, Rural Resident of the Great Plains I think what many do not yet believe, much less understand, is that the demise of the American farm and the Canadian farm and the South African farm and the South American farm is a planned demise. It is planned by many non-elected bureaucrats and a few elected ones. The Wildlands Project is being implemented very rapidly now (Wetlands restorations, rewilding the farm states by turning loose not dozens, but hundreds, of predatory animals.) Example: We are now getting the explanation...

Here's another major federal government scandal crying to get legs in the press. Under a law known as the Intergovernmental Personnel Act, the federal government "lends out" 1,200 to 1,500 well paid federal bureaucrats to left-wing non-profit organizations each year.(1) If anyone wonders how the United Nations Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) fit in with the federal government's regulatory agencies, there is a simple answer: They often trade employees back and forth -- most of whom are on the federal payroll. A while back, we reported that the relationship between eco-whacko groups and United Nations NGOs and federal agencies, like the EPA,...

Nearly four years ago, a group of freedom-loving organizations met in Washington, D.C., to organize the Freedom 21 Campaign. The purpose of the campaign is to "Advance the principles of freedom in the 21st century." At its first national conference, leaders from dozens of grassroots organizations adopted the Principles of Freedom, based on the founding documents of the United States. At its second national conference, the grassroots leaders launched an initiative to develop a more comprehensive document which sets forth very specific policy recommendations to advance the principles of freedom in the 21st century, as an alternative to the U.N.'s...

Those of you who went to school BPC (Before Political Correctness) might recall Northwoods folk hero Paul Bunyan. Paul was the legendary creation of lumberjacks like my great-grandfather. These tough and resilient men worked in the big woods of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan in the mid- to late-1800s. Ordinary working men, mostly immigrants, they lived in frontier logging camps inventing stories and folk heroes in order to pass the long winter nights. Paul and his blue ox, Babe, were part of the legend. Pre-PC folk heroes like Paul and Babe captured the imagination of America's grade-school children. But that was...

"When in the course of human events …," government gets too uppity, the people have to jerk the reins, hold tight and bring the wayward creature under control. During the Clinton-Gore era, agencies of our federal government were infiltrated by former executives and operatives from some of our most extreme environmental organizations. Bruce Babbitt, former head of the League of Conservation Voters, took control of the Department of Interior, and promptly hired Reed F. Noss as a special consultant. Noss is the primary author of the Wildlands Project, the extremist plan to transform "at least half" of the U.S. land...

Sawgrass Rebellion Launched... The Transformation of Florida The Wildlands Project targeted Florida as a priority state to transform into its vision of wilderness, more than ten years ago. The three maps show Florida in 1992 as 90-percent privately owned, and only 10-percent owned by government (represented in green). When the transformation is complete, 90-percent will be owned by the government, with only 10-percent remaining in private hands. The center map shows what the Wildlands Project expected the government/private land distribution to be in 2002. They were pretty accurate in their projections. If the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan is imposed,...

"The Wildlands Project," published in Wild Earth in 1992, chose a map of Florida to illustrate its concept of core wilderness areas, connected by corridors of wilderness, all surrounded by "buffer zones," managed for "conservation objectives." What are conservation objectives? Reed Noss, author of "The Wildlands Project," says "... the collective needs of non-human species must take precedence over the needs and desires of humans." The humans who live in South Florida are seeing the needs of non-human populations being given priority over the property rights and livelihoods of the people who live there. The entire Everglades is shown on...

Who could have guessed that South Florida's swamps would become the staging ground for what is shaping up to be the biggest battle for property rights this country has ever seen? The immediate target is the CERP – the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. The bigger target is The Wildlands Project, but the real target is the basis on which land-use management regulations are formulated. Land-management policy, once the exclusive domain of local elected officials, has been hijacked by environmental ideologues who have devised a new "collaborative" decision process to advance their conservation objectives, leaving the regulated community with no one...

It has been my practice for the past seven years to use the words and written material from any group or organization to try and show the American people that the blueprint for the destruction of our nation and our God-given rights is right in front of their eyes - if they would just look. The following is a short excerpt taken from the web site of The Wildlands Project, http://www.wildlandsproject.org/ The Wildlands Project The goal of the Wildlands Project is to set aside approximately 50% of the North American continent (Turtle Island) as "wild land" for the preservation of...

"It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself." Thomas Jefferson. "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6 "Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." George Washington. "The First Rule of Cheating is - - Don't Get Caught." Well, what happens when Green militants invade government, bend official policy to promote Gaia paganism, use government money and police power to enforce green corruption, hide their agenda from the public through media complicity, and then get caught?...
