Why is the federal government so obsessed with grabbing more land? After all, the federal government already owns more than 40 percent of the land in 9 different U.S. states. Why are federal bureaucrats so determined to grab even more? Well, the truth is that this all becomes much clearer once you understand that there is a very twisted philosophy behind what they are doing. It is commonly known as "Agenda 21", although many names and labels are used for this particular philosophy. Basically, those that hold to this form of radical environmentalism believe that humanity is utterly destroying the planet, and therefore the goal should be to create a world where literally everything that we do is tightly monitored and controlled by control freak bureaucrats in the name of "sustainable development". In their vision of the future, the human population will be greatly reduced and human activity will be limited to strictly regulated urban areas and travel corridors. The rest of the planet will be left to nature. To achieve this goal, a massive transfer of land from private landowners to the federal government will be necessary.
So the conflict between Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and the BLM is really just the tip of the iceberg. The reality is that the BLM has their eyes on much bigger prizes.
For example, Breitbart is reporting that the BLM is looking at grabbing 90,000 privately-held acres along the Texas/Oklahoma border…
After the recent Bundy Ranch episode by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Texans are becoming more concerned about the BLM’s focus on 90,000 acres along a 116 mile stretch of the Texas/Oklahoma boundary. The BLM is reviewing the possible federal takeover and ownership of privately-held lands which have been deeded property for generations of Texas landowners.
Sid Miller, former Texas State Representative and Republican candidate for Texas Agriculture Commissioner, has since made the matter a campaign issue to Breitbart Texas.
"In Texas," Miller says, "the BLM is attempting a repeat of an action taken over 30 years ago along the Red River when Tommy Henderson lost a federal lawsuit. The Bureau of Land Management took 140 acres of his property and didn't pay him one cent."
Needless to say, officials down in Texas are not pleased about this. In fact, just check out what the attorney general of Texas is saying…
Gen. Abbott sent a strongly-worded letter to BLM Director Neil Kornze, asking for answers to a series of questions related to the potential land grab.
"I am deeply concerned about the notion that the Bureau of Land Management believes the federal government has the authority to swoop in and take land that has been owned and cultivated by Texas landowners for generations," General Abbott wrote. "The BLM's newly asserted claims to land along the Red River threaten to upset long-settled private property rights and undermine fundamental principles—including the rule of law—that form the foundation of our democracy. Yet, the BLM has failed to disclose either its full intentions or the legal justification for its proposed actions. Decisions of this magnitude must not be made inside a bureaucratic black box."
In an exclusive interview with Breitbart Texas, General Abbott said, "This is the latest line of attack by the Obama Administration where it seems like they have a complete disregard for the rule of law in this country …And now they've crossed the line quite literally by coming into the State of Texas and trying to claim Texas land as federal land. And, as the Attorney General of Texas I am not going to allow this."
Does the federal government actually need more land?
As I mentioned above, the feds already own more than 40 percent of the land in 9 different U.S. states…
Nevada: 84.5 percent Alaska: 69.1 percent Utah: 57.4 percent Oregon: 53.1 percent Idaho: 50.2 percent Arizona: 48.1 percent California: 45.3 percent Wyoming: 42.4 percent New Mexico: 41.8 percent
The federal government does not need more land. But there is an obsession to grab more so that the dictates of Agenda 21 can be implemented.
The map that I have posted below is a simulation of what the endgame of Agenda 21 might look like. If these radical environmentalists get their way, the only areas that will be allocated for normal human use will be the areas in green…
show the United States Senate what the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity was really designed to do. It so stunned the Senate that the treaty's debate was withdrawn on September 29, 1994, one hour before the cloture vote to ratify the treaty. The treaty never came up again. Get a copy of the map here.
If you do not go along with the "sustainable development" agenda, you risk being labeled a "threat" to be dealt with.
For example, Senator Harry Reid has used the label "domestic terrorists" to describe those that showed up to support Cliven Bundy at his ranch.
Reid could have used lots of other labels. But he specifically chose to call them terrorists. And considering what the law allows the feds to do to "terrorists", that is quite chilling.
And don't think that if you just stay quiet that you won't get labeled as a "terrorist". In fact, there is a very good chance that you already fit several government criteria for being a terrorist.

Do any of those criteria apply to you?
If so, then you are a “potential terrorist†according to the U.S. government.
We live at a time when the federal government is becoming increasingly oppressive. Just consider the following excerpt from a recent article by John W. Whitehead…
It's not just the Cliven Bundys of the world who are being dealt with in this manner. Don Miller, a 91-year-old antiques collector, recently had his Indiana home raided by the FBI, ostensibly because it might be in the nation's best interest if the rare and valuable antiques and artifacts Miller had collected over the course of 80 years were cared for by the government. Such tactics carried out by anyone other than the government would be considered grand larceny, and yet the government gets a free pass.
In the same way, the government insists it can carry out all manner of surveillance on us—listen in on our phone calls, read our emails and text messages, track our movements, photograph our license plates, even enter our biometric information into DNA databases—but those who dare to return the favor, even a little, by filming potential police misconduct, get roughed up by the police, arrested, charged with violating various and sundry crimes.
This was not what our founders intended.
Our liberties and freedoms are being eroded a little bit more with each passing day, and most Americans don't even seem to care.
In the end, we will pay a great price for our apathy.

Take a look at the future of America: The Beginning of the End.
I’ve been preaching about this for years. We are fighting the same battle in Florida. My heart goes out to these ranchers and farmers. We have to put a STOP to the FEDS enacting AGENDA 21 and take back our country.
The federal government should be required to halt all land grabs in the West until land grabs in the East equal the average of federal take overs (approx 40%). The feds would be required to make massive land grabs in the East or reduce their holdings in the West so as to even out the percentages.
As soon as we have a real president, President Cruz (okay, or President Trump) should reverse these BLM land grabs, transfer all that land back to the states on January 20, 2017, and then review to see what other federal lands can be given to the states.

Part of that same agenda, the taking of land, increasing buffer zones etc, involves driving more and more people into cities where they can be corralled.
You can find Agenda 21 on the UN site. It involves getting religious ministries involved along with their voluntary turn over of the lands they own, and the resources on that land.
It involves disarming America, not only the public, but the police and inactive military as well.
It’s an ugly piece of work designed to cause all nations to relinquish their sovereignty in every way. Own your own well on your own land? A meter will be slapped on it, and you will pay for that water because you won’t own it anymore.
Our leaders will be nothing more than managers of the holdings of the world government structure which is modeled after the United States government complete with a president, a senate, nations representatives, and a constitution, even a supreme world court.
Sigh....That document has been publicly available for at least 20+ years.
I remember when World Net Daily used to post copious articles about agenda 21 and its implementation, and they were called crazy, and a non-news organization, even their credentials as news reporters was challenged!
Now, all I can do is shake my head in wonder...wonder how so many were deceived for so long. The light of day is breaking, and the threat is very real. It’s in progress.
“Why is the federal government so obsessed with grabbing more land?”
BECAUSE, the more land the BLM manages , the higher their salaries are.
Um...looking at the map...what about, you know, FOOD.
It’s not just the land either. The National Marine Fisheries Service has for a long time been sealing off the most productive areas of the oceans is “Marine Protected Areas” Our fishing industry has been decimated by over regulation that is based on Agenda 21, Chapter 17.
“The solidifying link to the UN of the “Marine Protected Area” concept pushed by the National Marine Fisheries Service and various state fishery management agencies is found in a recent government publication: “Marine Protected Areas [MPA], Tools for Sustaining Ocean Ecosystems”, published by the National Resource Council. on page 150: “MPA’S have been identified as an important mechanism to attain the objectives of the CBD”. To make this clear: MPA’s are the marine extension of “The Wildlands Project”.
(CBD refers to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. This treaty was rejected by the U.S.Senate, never ratified. Clinton ordered its implementation through Executive Orders)
http://www.citizenreviewonline.org/june2004/wizardry.htm
You are absolutely correct and it is not only America that is being hit by the destruction of our fishing industries. Look at what has happened to France, Scotland, Norway, Portugal, etc, etc. Keep your eye on the attempts to get the U.S. trapped into the Law of the Seas Treaty (LOST)when we will be denied our twelve mile limit and everything taken from the sea, mining, oil, fish, etc., will be “Taxed” at ridiculous rates to fund the U.N.’s Redistribution of Wealth crap. We are at war with the U.N. and we have Obama, Kerry, Hillary, and all the other crapmasters to blame for our demise. Most of all we need to blame ourselves for not paying attention and educating others about what is going on and most oif GETTING OUT OF THE UN and getting the UN OUT of the US.
Nope. What good would that do? We need to elect the right man with the guts to FORCE the Feds to sell off the land and cease and desist in their plunder. People need to go to jail. Accountability anyone?
Let’s not forget the newly 2030 agenda as well. Like you my heart goes out to all the freedom loving God fearing ranchers who are fighting this Tyranny.
Amen!
....”And there he stood like a stone wall!”
And wolves. Lots of them. They have to end hunting and ranching to free up their rural wilderness. Wolves are a useful tool for them.
Yep. I thought all along that was a deliberate move.
