The Obama blitzkrieg

Being in the resource extraction business, I and colleagues have said many times over the last year that Obama and his minions will pull out all the stops in his last two years in his agenda to fundamentally transform America.

Here is the latest. How well timed to dove tail with the non-listing Trojan Horse of the new Sage Grouse Management Plans.

Consider this opening statement: "We all have a moral obligation to the next generation to leave America's natural resources in better condition than when we inherited them."

Mining for the raw materials that drives our civilization extract natural resources that are finite. Iron ores, copper, gold, silver, zinc, lead, lithium, etc are in deposits that do not go on forever. The economic deposit gets mined out and the search goes on for more under changing economic drivers.

So we must leave them in better condition? This document is full of bureaucratic double speak and this is code for the agenda of stopping all mining. How well with that work out?

    Translation: 1) encourage less use of natural resources. Of the USA to save them for the future by increasing bureaucratic disincentives to development and increasing costs of resource use. 2) encourage shift of resource use to non-USA based resources. 3). Further reduce manufacturing in the USA. 4) reduction in USA exports and increase in imports

    In essence Obama wants to weaken us as a nation. Just as ayn rand predicted in AS.

    Power is a narcotic more powerful than cocaine. Politicians quickly become addicted and will do any thing to keep the buzz going.

    It is a land grab. I called it a Trojan Horse because they tried to say what a win-win the decision is to not list the Sage Grouse as endangered. After 5 years of "collaborating" with State governments, they proceeded to issue radical Management Plans that completely ignored the States input. Especially in Nevada.

    It really puts the squeeze on what little private land there is in Nevada by restricting the traditional grazing use of the adjacent public lands. They refused to acknowledge extensive studies and research that show sage grouse flourishes with a level of grazing and the risk of range fire is reduced. So, they are actually decreasing sage grouse habitat with their Land Plans. Scorch and burn.

    This violence enforced goal for everyone to give back to earth more than is taken is a goal similar in scope to making everyone equal. These goals can never be accomplished yet require never ending violations of individual rights. Utterly Insane goals, requiring never ending rulers using never ending control, resources and violence to spread never ending clouds of fear.

    This is nothing more than a federal land grab, sequestering private land to place it under federal oversight and management. The effect of this is to force rural population into larger and larger urban centers, more effective to control. As Hitler proved with the ghettoization of the Jews, when you have all the fish in a barrel, it's easier to catch them en masse.
