“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

“According to a BLM document provided to Breitbart Texas courtesy Rep. Thornberry’s staff, the BLM is going through a scoping period where they are gathering facts on land whose ownership they believe to be in question in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. The BLM is in the process of developing a Resource Management Plan. The plan will cover a total of 411,585 square miles, or 263 million acres of land. The BLM describes its “decision area as about 104,000 acres of BLM administered surface lands, 593,000 acres of split-estate land (private land with federal mineral interests) and 5,270,000 acres of federal mineral interests on land managed by other federal agencies.”

We’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto. Not even in the USA.

It’s time for Texas Gov. Rick Perry to step up and tell the feds to get out of his state.

Everything belongs to god-fed. They only pretend to allow the people to own it.

I guess this Agenda 21 thing is for real. I wonder why they want it other than it being river bottom farm land.

"the BLM is going through a scoping period"

Poor choice of words, there, pard.

Here's my theory, reposted from March 26, 2014:

---

Something tells me that there is another, ulterior motive at play.

This land grab is also a wealth transfer from the states to the federal government. Temporary inland waterways, by another name, is "lakefront property." Lakefront property is mostly owned by the wealthy, who usually also have boats on the waterway.

Obama also recently declared the Mendocino coastline a federal national monument, keeping people away. He wouldn't dare to do this to the Malibu coastline, however.

Not only is the EPA being used to prevent private ownership of these lands from the rich, it's also preventing private royalties from any oil or shale gas that may be found there.

I'm thinking that Obama was stung by the responses to his claims of growth in oil production that it was all private land. Obama is eliminating the ability for future private mineral rights.

I wrote that before the Bundy incident happened.

What's so special about the Texas-Oklahoma border? Could it be oil and gas? Could it be that Obama wants the royalties for the US Treasury and not for generational land owners?

Hasn’t anyone ever heard, “Don’t Mess with Texas”

[MamaTexan]

According to Thornberry’s legislative analysts, the issue of the ownership of this land dates back to the Louisiana Purchase of 1803.

and Texas became an INDEPENDENT NATION and Recognized as a Republic after that.

So either give us BACK the parts of the other states we brought to the table, or shut the 'ell UP!

The Red River Boundary Compact, passed by both Texas and Oklahoma legislatures, approved by Congress of the US as a joint resolution, and went into effect August 2000, is the controlling legal authority.

BLM hasn't got squat to say about it.

Is China Taking Over the Globalization Agenda? 2011

...Loans from China typically carry different terms than World Bank loans. In the case of China’s involvement in Africa, Robert Rotberg, editor of the book China into Africa, says, “China loans [are] in exchange for resources, which its companies extract themselves using Chinese labor, so in essence it’s fake lending.

The Chinese rarely expect those loans to be paid back.” According to a paper published by David Mitchell of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, China canceled $1.2 billion in debt from 31 African countries in 2000 and added another $750 million in debt forgiveness in 2003

I think they ought to just go ahead and do it. This is going on too long. Let’s get it on.

We’ll either stand up or let ‘em roll over us. This incremental bullshit has gone on too long.

Time to put up or shut up.

Claire Wolfe: “It’s too late to work within the system, but it’s too early to start shooting ‘em”.

When is it that we push back? When is it that we decide that enough’s enough? When is it that we realize that we are so far from our Constitution that the militia has to be called out to hold people accountable?

Holy cow...they couldn’t have picked a state less likely to sit still for their crap.

And there is this little nugget in the article:

“According to a BLM document provided to Breitbart Texas courtesy Rep. Thornberry’s staff, the BLM is going through a scoping period where they are gathering facts on land whose ownership they believe to be in question in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. The BLM is in the process of developing a Resource Management Plan. The plan will cover a total of 411,585 square miles, or 263 million acres of land. The BLM describes its “decision area as about 104,000 acres of BLM administered surface lands, 593,000 acres of split-estate land (private land with federal mineral interests) and 5,270,000 acres of federal mineral interests on land managed by other federal agencies.”

411K square miles is slightly over 800 X 500 miles in what they say is the 3 states of OK, TX, and KS. So where are we talking and what are they scheming?

Also notice that they are moving eastward in their confiscation.
