(2) Don Casey Talks About Micromanagment Under Agenda 21
  
 Don Casey is very well versed in the little-known facts
about Agenda 21. He joins us on the Prepper Recon Podcast
today to fill us in on how Agenda 21 will be used for
social engineering as well as micromanaging the use of
our own private property.

(12) ARMED ECO-FASCIST GESTAPO BEING USED TO CONFISCATE
PRIVATE PROPERTY TO LEASE FOR CORPORATE ENERGY PROJECTS!
  
 The Bureau of Land Management�s eco-fascist gestapo is
stealing American property and livestock. In attempt to
rationalize their theft, they claim they will �save the
tortoise.� The BLM is using environmentalism to confuse
people to condone their theft of private property - yet
the BLM cashed in with $1.27 million for fracking leases
in Nevada!

 Similar to the Natural News investigation, Infowars has
found and mirrored some evidence also confirming the BLM is
being used to confiscate public property for new solar power
generation facilities as well. Harry Reid and his oldest son,
Rory are both involved in an effort by a Chinese energy giant,
ENN Energy Group, to build a $5 billion solar farm and panel
manufacturing plant on private property. Rory Reid was the
chief representative for the Chinese energy firm.

 The EPA wants to expand the use of two pesticides that
could be a major threat to America�s bee population, farms
and the nation�s food supply. That�s the charge being made
by the Center for Food Safety and beekeepers.

TRACKING THE TRENDS OF ECO-FASCISM!
    
(44) Incandescent Ban to Bankrupt Bird Care Centre
  
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/incandescent-bulb-ban-leaves-bird-care-centre-with-dim-hope-1.2492890
  
 Ottawa�s Wild Bird Care Centre has put the call
out for incandescent light bulbs, which it uses to
provide warmth for injured and recovering birds,
after the federal government banned manufacturers
from making the bulbs.
  
 In Canada, the more energy-efficient compact
fluorescent light bulbs are considered the norm.
The incandescent light bulbs use more power, but
they are also warmer and serve an important role
inside incubators.
  
 �As the light bulb is on, it will obviously warm
things up and then the setting will turn it off to
keep the right temperature,� explained Mireille
Goguen, who works at the centre.
  
 She said they were caught off-guard by the bulb
ban and they are already running short on
incandescent bulbs. Now they are asking people
to donate 100-watt bulbs.
  
 �(We will take) as many as possible. If people
have them hanging around we will take them or if
they want to buy them for us it would be much
appreciated,� said Goguen.
  
 Donations can be dropped off at the centre,
which is located on Moodie Drive in the city�s
west end.

(45) Plastic Bag Ban is a TAX SCAM
  
http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Opponents-Slam-Proposed-Plastic-Bag-Ban-236474401.html
  
 Opponents of a proposed plastic bag ban gathered
Wednesday to call on the San Diego City Council to
abandon the plan to remove plastic bags from local
stores.
  
 Community leaders, including Mark Arabo, president
of the Neighborhood Market Association, held a press
conference in front of Rainbow Market on Federal
Boulevard in which they called the proposed ban a
tax scam that will negatively impact working-class
San Diegans.
  
 �This is a terrible plan. It�s terrible because
the solution is worse than the so-called problem,�
said Arabo. �It�s a classic case of politicians
attempting to do something for the environment,
in part to appease some environmental groups,
without seeing the bigger picture.�
  
 The proposed ban would remove plastic bags from
stores while imposing a paper bag tax on customers.
Shoppers would be charged 10 cents for each paper
bag they might need at a store.
  
 �This ban will have reaching ramifications. It�ll
cost taxpayers � mothers, fathers and brothers �
more money when they go shopping for groceries,�
said Arabo.
  
 Though the ban is designed to reduce waste and
help the environment, Arabo argued that plastic
bags only make up one-third of one percent of
the waste stream.
  
 On the other end of the plastic bag ban debate,
Sherri Lightner, San Diego City Council President
Pro Tem, District 1, supports the proposed ban.

(46) Eco-fascists Want to Police Households
  
http://www.chicoer.com/editorials/ci_24875035/editorial-toilet-police-dont-want-job
  
 The state mandates water-saving toilets and showers
in all homes, but obviously didn�t think long about
how to achieve that.
  
 First the city of Chico had the ban on nuclear weapons,
then wood-burning stoves, then plastic bags. Now
comes a ban on high-flow toilets. And if you think
the city can�t enforce that, then you haven�t met
the toilet police.
  
 OK, so the title �Toilet Police� probably doesn�t
appear on any city worker�s business card, but
that�s what they are.
  
 But let�s not blame city building inspectors for
an odd law � or even the Chico City Council. For
once, this ridiculous save-the-world concept doesn�t
come from the council, but rather from the busybodies
in the state Legislature. They passed a law that took
effect Jan. 1 that requires water-conserving plumbing
fixtures on any home built before 1994.
  
 How will that be enforced? Well, if a property has
any work done that requires a building permit from
a city or county, that entity�s inspector must verify
that the home has low-flow toilets, showers and faucets.
  
 To make it even more disturbing, the low-flow
inspection doesn�t occur if you�re getting plumbing
work. It occurs if you�re getting any work that requires
a building permit, such as getting a new heater, new
windows or converting a garage into a den. Uh, maybe.
  
 So under the letter of the law, if a homeowner buys
a new water heater or fireplace insert for a couple
hundred dollars, he or she might spend considerably
more than that converting all toilets, faucets and
showerheads to low-flow devices.
  
 City and county building inspectors don�t want to be
toilet police. We can�t imagine them wanting to spend
time checking a person�s toilet when they�re there
to check an air conditioner. They�re taking a loose
interpretation of the law for now, and won�t inspect
toilets during projects like repairs and maintenance
that don�t involve plumbing.
  
 But there�s no guarantee the state, which passed
the law, won�t require cities and counties to enforce
a strict interpretation.
  
 With all the uncertainty, it entices a homeowner to
ignore the government requirement to get a building
permit for minor home improvement projects.
  
 Governments should be concerned if fewer people take
out building permits. It means less revenue for
cash-strapped local governments.
  
 The building industry is concerned that residents
may put off rebuilding and home improvement projects
because they would include this unwanted expense.
With the building industry and contractors finally
showing signs of recovery from the recession, we
don�t want to see new obstacles.
  
 Once again the state passes a goofy law without
thinking about the consequences, since somebody else
has to enforce it. The city and county building
departments urge residents not to be scared off by
the new laws, to call and ask questions. It seems
they are like the rest of us, trying to figure out
how long they can ignore the fools in Sacramento
before they get caught.

(47) DOE Eco-fascists Roll Out Household Spy Grid
  
 DOE says its energy-scoring spyware - called the
Home Energy Scoring Tool - is like a vehicle�s
mile-per-gallon rating because it allows government
to compare the energy performance of individual homes
to other homes nationwide. It also provides homeowners
with suggestions (or mandates, in the near future)
for �improving their homes� efficiency.�
  
 The software is part of the government�s effort
to reduce the nation�s energy consumption; but it�s
also billed as a way to keep home-retrofitting going,
at a time when stimulus funds for weather-proofing
have run out - you see, the federated fascists care
more about spying on our energy consumption rather
than providing weather-proof options for our homes.

(48) �Sustainable Communities Investment Authority�
Plan to Bulldoze Households for Corporate Projects
  
http://benswann.com/californias-dangerous-idea-give-unelected-bureaucrats-the-power-to-confiscate-the-private-property-of-americans/
  
 California�s Senate Bill 1 is what the founding
fathers fought against. Straight from the UN Agenda
21�s playbook, SB1 will give power to a county to
form a �Sustainable Communities Investment Authority�
(SCIA). These Authorities have the power of eminent
domain and can confiscate private property to build
�sustainable communities.� The bill essentially paves
the way for the loss of any true private property in
California, resulting in the loss of freedom and
driving down home values. If the Senate passes the
modified bill, only Governor Jerry Brown (D � CA)
will stand in its way of becoming law.
  
 This means that city and county governments can
create unelected bureaucracies with the power to do
what�s necessary to create �sustainable communities.�
It also means that the definition of �blight� will
change from the original definition of abandoned
and decaying buildings on residential lots to a
much wider definition including anything the
bureaucracies need to create sustainable communities.
  
 Not only would the government be able to use eminent
domain to procure land for public transportation,
it could take private homes within half a mile of
that public transportation in the name of creating
a sustainable community. A private home is not
really private if it could be taken at any time
to create low income, low energy housing.
  
 According to Lawrence J. McQuillan, �each Authority
will be granted powers to build �Sustainable Communities�
means jamming people into dense, urban centers using
high-density residential housing and high-intensity
retail and commercial buildings near mass transit
corridors. To that end, SB 1 will grant each
Authority unprecedented powers.�
  
 Eminent domain has gradually grown to be one of the
most oppressive government policies. Since the
SCOTUS� decision in Kelo v. City of New London,
eminent domain continues to be the enemy of property
owners. Homeowners have lost their homes to private
development projects. People have been paid less for
their land than they originally paid for it. Businesses
have even been forced to sell their buildings to
corporations. It has become perhaps the most clearly
identifiable example of crony capitalism and corruption
in the country. The government has failed to protect
citizen�s natural rights: protecting life, liberty,
and property.
  
 In 2011, citizens voiced outrage over the ideas
presented by activists, environmentalists and
private developers. Property owners are worried
that Senate Bill 1 will pass and the threat of
increased taxes and possible property confiscation
will become a reality in California.

(49) Eco-fascist Obama Forces New Trucker Regulations
  
 History is in the making today as the Obama regime
has announced, for the first time ever, new regulations
for medium- and heavy-duty trucks regarding both fuel
economy requirements and emissions standards.
  
 The new standards are the result of a mandate first
set in motion in 2007 by Congress, and later by an
Executive Order issued by President Obama in May of
last year. The regulations will apply to medium and
heavy-duty trucks built in 2014 through 2018, aimed
at reducing annual national fuel consumption by 530
million barrels.
  
 The new regulations will be aimed at one of three
specific subsets of trucks: combination tractors
(commonly referred to as semi-trucks), heavy-duty
pickup trucks and vans and vocational vehicles.
  
 Each category will have its own regulations, but
the end goal is to reduce fuel consumption by as
much as 20 percent by 2018, which is the case for
semi-trucks.
  
 The category that will affect more than just freight
companies and large business owners, heavy-duty trucks
and vans, will require about a 15 percent improvement
in required fuel economy, although standards will be
unique based on fuel type.
  
 Vocational trucks, or delivery trucks, garbage trucks
and buses, will be mandated to reduce fuel consumption
by about 10 percent by 2018.

(50) Eco-fascist Regulations to Shut Down 40 Percent
of Nation�s Electricity
  
http://wealthydebates.com/obama-regulations-to-shut-down-40-percent-of-nations-electricity/
  
 Obama administration regulations could force power
plants that make 40 percent of the nation�s electricity
to shut down.
  
 At issue are EPA restrictions on emissions that would
close hundreds of coal-burning power plants which
represent around 40 percent of the nation�s electricity.
  
 If that wasn�t bad enough, some observers think the
regulations could double electricity rates for average
households. The rates would increase because utilities
would have to pass the cost onto ratepayers of replacing
coal burning power plants or modernizing them to comply
with the regulations.
  
 The EPA rules � Carbon Pollution Standards for New Power
Plants � are part of Obama�s plan to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions which the agency says contribute to global
warming.
  
Obama Admitted Plan Would Raise Electricity Rates
  
 There is some evidence that President Obama has a
deliberate strategy of increasing electricity rates and
destroying the coal industry.
  
 �Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity
rates would necessarily skyrocket,� Obama told the editorial
board of The San Francisco Chronicle in 2008. �Even
regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or
bad. Because I�m capping greenhouse gases, coal power
plants, you know, natural gas, you name it � whatever
the plants were, whatever the industry was, they would
have to, retrofit their operations. That will cost money.
They will pass that money on to consumers.�
  
 �So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant,
they can; it�s just that it will bankrupt them,� Obama
said, �because they�re going to be charged a huge sum for
all that greenhouse gas that�s being emitted.�
  
 Obama�s prediction about coal plants have been proven
true. As Off The Grid News previously reported, in October
2013, FirstEnergy Corp announced that it would shut down
two coal-fired powered plants in Pennsylvania because it
said the cost of complying with EPA regulations was too high.
  
 Reuters estimated that coal-burning power plants capable
of generating 15,000 megawatts of electricity have shut
down since Obama took office in 2009. The news service
also estimates that power plants that generate around
37,000 megawatts of power will close in the next 10
years. One megawatt can provide electricity to up to
about 1,000 homes.
  
Awfully Expensive Electricity
  
 Those plants will be closing at a time when demand for
electricity is increasing. That will force utilities to
build power plants that burn other fuels such as natural
gas. It will add additional cost to electricity rates at
a time when the rates are already going up dramatically.
  
 �It could get awfully expensive,� Daniel Simmons of the
Institute for Energy Research told World Net Daily. �Some
people might see their electricity rates double. If there�s
no backup power plants, that means electricity is going to
get awfully expensive when you have shortages around the
country.
  
Another Obama Plan To Raise Your Electric Bill
  
 �We�re talking about dramatically increasing the cost of
electricity all to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. I
think that is the real goal,� Simmons said.
  
 Another Obama administration plan to reduce greenhouse
emissions, Carbon Capture and Sequestration, or CSS technology,
could raise electricity costs even more, Simmons predicted.
He noted that a an experimental CSS power plant in the
United States will cost an estimated $4.3 billion to build
and the EPA doesn�t know if the technology would work.
  
 �The technology is awfully expensive because it hasn�t
been tried anywhere, and that�s to try to capture the
carbon dioxide as it comes out after they burn the coal.�
Simmons said of CSS.
  
 CSS involves the use of filters to divert carbon emissions
from the air � and every taxpaying American will pay. The
CSS plants under construction will require $300 million in
taxpayer subsidies.
  
 US Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia has been critical
of the Obama administration�s policy on coal.
  
 �This Administration is trying to hold the coal industry
to impossible standards,� Manchin said. �Never before has
the federal government forced an industry to do something
that is technologically impossible. Forcing coal to meet
nearly the same emissions standards as gas when experts
know that the required technology is not operational on
a commercial scale makes absolutely no sense and will have
devastating impacts to the coal industry and our economy.�

(UPDATE) Supreme Court Rules EPA Can Enforce Endless Limits
In Power Plant Emissions
  
 In a 6-2 decision, the justices sided with a 2011
regulation issued by the US Environmental Protection
Agency that had been challenged by Ohio Attorney General
Mike DeWine and officials in states which produce large
amounts of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide.
  
 Melissa McHenry, a spokeswoman for American Electric
Power in Columbus, called the decision disappointing,
but because the justices have returned the case to the
federal appeals court �there is no immediate impact on
AEP�s operations and we don�t expect the decision to
change our plans for our coal-fueled power generation
fleet.�
  
 McHenry said that �emissions of sulfur dioxide and
nitrogen oxide from AEP�s coal-fueled power plants
already have been reduced by more than 80 percent since
1990. Our mercury emissions have declined by nearly 60
percent since 2001, and between 2005 and 2013, AEP
reduced its carbon dioxide emissions by 21 percent.
AEP will retire nearly 6,600 megawatts for coal-fueled
generation between now and 2016.�
  
http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2014/04/29/supreme-court-epa-ruling.html
  
 So, get ready to live in a third-world country where
many power plants will continue to shut down as America�s
utility bills skyrocket ...

(51) Obama Admits Climate Agenda Has NOTHING To Do With
�Global Warming� (It�s About Government Control Stupid!)
  
 Dictatorships always desire to control and ration
countries� natural resources and now it�s happening
right here, in America.
  
http://dailycaller.com/2014/01/23/obama-admits-his-climate-agenda-wont-curb-global-warming/
  
 President Barack Obama admitted in an interview with
The New Yorker that his plan to lower US carbon dioxide
emissions by banning new coal plants would do little to
curb global warming since developing countries like
China and India will still use coal power.
  
 The Obama administration published its proposed
carbon dioxide emissions limits for new coal plants
which would effectively ban coal power. That is,
unless they use commercially unproven carbon capture
and storage (CCS) technologies. Tighter emission
controls for coal plants are part of Obama�s plan
to fight global warming.
  
 Critics of the administration argue that banning
coal plants won�t curb global warming because
developing countries continue to build coal plants,
frustrating US efforts to lower global carbon emissions.
Obama conceded that fact, but argued that limiting
emissions here will only help the US because other
countries will come to us for the technology once
we�ve developed it.
  
 �And so if we can figure out a carbon-capture mechanism
that is sufficiently advanced and works, then we are
helping ourselves, because the Chinese and the Indians
are going to build some coal plants, and even if we
don�t build another coal plant in this country, there
are going to be a lot of coal plants around the world
that are built,� Obama told the New Yorker.
  
 �And we have a huge investment in trying to figure
out how we can help them do it more cleanly,� he added.
  
 Obama hopes that by requiring new US coal plants to
use CCS technologies, the country could become a world
leader and export the technology abroad when other
nations can afford it. If the US doesn�t lead, Obama
argues, other countries will not follow.
  
 �And it�s not sufficient for us to just tell them to
stop,� Obama said. �We�re going to have to give them
some help. We�re going to have to take some of our
research and development on things like clean-coal
technology and be able to export it to them or license
it to them� There�s going to be a process where we
help them leapfrog some of the development stages
that we went through.�
  
 �This is why I�m putting a big priority on our carbon
action plan here. It�s not because I�m ignorant of the
fact that these emerging countries are going to be a
bigger problem than us,� Obama added. �It�s because
it�s very hard for me to get in that conversation if
we�re making no effort. And it�s not an answer for us
to say, �Well, since the Chinese and the Indians are
the bigger problem, we might as well not even bother.��
  
 Indeed, countries like China and India are set to
ramp up their coal use dramatically. The World Resource
Institute reports that 76 percent of the proposed
coal-fired capacity is in India and China � nearly
1,200 coal plants have been proposed globally, totaling
more than 1.4 million megawatts of power.
  
 The Chinese greenlit 100 million metric tons of new
coal production capacity last year as part of the
government�s plan to bring 860 million metric tons
of coal production online by 2015.
  
 The US coal industry, however, says CCS is not yet
proven technology as there are no commercial-scale
coal plants in the country that uses the technology.
In fact, when the Environmental Protection Agency
wrote its rule limiting coal plant emissions it only
cited CCS projects that were government funded and
not in operation.
  
 �It is disingenuous to state that the technology is
�ready,�� said Charles McConnell, former assistant
secretary of energy in Obama. �Studies have verified
that implementation of [CSS] technology is necessary
to comply with EPA�s proposed [EPA carbon-emissions
limits] regulation and meet the [greenhouse gas]
targets necessary for limiting CO2 emissions to our
atmosphere.�
  
 �However, commercial [CSS] technology currently is
not available to meet EPA�s proposed rule. The cost
of current CO2 capture technology is much too high
to be commercially viable,� said McConnell, who now
serves as the executive director of the Energy &
Environment Initiative at Rice University.

found he wasn�t paying enough toward the demolition
of the fortress.
  
 Los Angeles County charged builder Alan Kimble Fahey
$82,000 last year to demolish the structure, which
included a 70-foot tower, stained-glass windows, a
working windmill, and a replica of a Viking house

(55) New Eco-fascist Regulations to Skyrocket
Electric Bills
  
http://cnsnews.com/mrctv-blog/matt-vespa/doe-coal-regs-hike-price-electricity-70-80
  
 During the House hearing, �Department of Energy
Oversight: Status of Clean Coal Programs,� Joe Barton
(R-Texas) asked Dr. Julio Friedmann, the deputy
assistant secretary for clean coal at the Department
of Energy, about the additional costs carbon capture
and storage technology would bring to coal plants.
  
 �My generic question is pretty straightforward. All
of these carbon capture sequestration technologies
- add cost to these coal plants could y�all give
the committee, or the subcommittee, kind of a
baseline estimate of how much it adds to the cost,
does it double the cost, does it increase it by
25%, 50%, what�s the generic estimate?� Barton asked.
  
 �The precise number will vary by plant, whether it�s
sub-critical or supercritical, by coal rank, and by
the kind of technology used,� said Friedman.
  
 Concerning the first generation of carbon capture
and storage (CCS) technology to be implemented,
Friedman added �we�re looking at something on the
order of $70-90 a ton. In that context, that looks
something like a 70-80% increase on the wholesale
price of electricity.�
  
 In short, that�s a knife to the throat for the
American middle class.
  
http://www.infowars.com/obamas-war-on-coal-is-going-to-kill-jobs-and-sent-electricty-rates-skyrocketing/
  
 When Barack Obama was running for president in 2008,
he stated that under his plan �electricity rates would
necessarily skyrocket�. Well, now it looks like he is
finally getting around to keeping his promise. New EPA
rules that are designed to cripple the coal industry
could send electricity rates soaring by up to 40 percent
in many rural areas.  And even though we have enough
coal in the ground to provide hundreds of years of
energy at current levels of consumption, Obama�s plan
is going to force large numbers of coal plants to
completely shut down because they are simply going to
become too expensive to operate. If Americans living
in rural communities didn�t care for Obama before, they
really are not going to like him much when these new
EPA regulations start kicking in.

(56) Eco-fascist Smart Meter Gestapo Raids Nevada Home ::

(57) Eco-fascist Corporations Begin to Shut Off
Electricity to Political Activists� Homes
  
http://www.activistpost.com/2014/02/utilities-desperate-to-quash-dissent.html
  
 On the heels of Northeast Utilities admitting that
smart meters are �irrational�, we�re seeing the wheels
of reason and logic further come off the centralized
energy cart(el).
  
 In what is an illegal and thinly-veiled �psy-op�
(psychological operation) attempting to stem the
rising tide of awareness of the massive rights
violations associated with their �smart� meter
deployments, Plumas Sierra Rural Electric Cooperative
(PSREC) actually disconnected the electricity from
the home of Joshua Hart, a leader in the movement
and director of StopSmartMeters.org.
  
http://stopsmartmeters.org/2014/02/19/disconnected/
  
 As documented in our boat-rocking film Take Back Your
Power, so-called �smart� meter deployments are beleagured
on many levels, being linked to in-home surveillance,
unjustified billing increases, extortive �opt-out�
practices/fees, home and appliance hackability, health
symptoms (from pulsed microwave radiation and high-frequency
voltage transients), and a rather long list of home fires.
  
 Like hundreds of thousands, perhaps upwards of a
million now in Western countries, Hart is choosing to
not have a �smart� meter installed, preferring to not
to have his living quarters be surveiled, irradiated
or made easily hackable. And like many, he is not
contributing to his utility�s Punitive Opt-Out Fund
for the insolence of exercising constitutional and
human right. (There are many ways to retain your right
and not pay a fee or penalty for doing so � we have
written about one such method here. Under no
circumstances are you obligated to pay a fee to keep
your analog meter, though writing a well-written
notice via registered mail is often required.)
  
 Joshua Hart said on his website: �This is the first
disconnect by PSREC for failure to pay �opt out� fees.
No one in PG&E/ SCE/ SDG&E areas of California have
been disconnected solely for refusal to pay �opt out�
fees, and thousands have been ignoring toothless
disconnect warnings and deducting the fees from their
bill every month.  Why are utilities going to such
lengths to silence critics of their smart meter
policies?�
  
 So-called �smart� meters are not UL approved and have
never been safety-tested.  But according to grid
engineering firms such as Raab Associates they are
part of a technology roadmap which includes �mining
data for intel� purposes, and �data mining and
analytics� becoming core competency. What�s perhaps
even more troubling is the connection between �smart�
meters and military R&D funding.
  
 Thank goodness that huge numbers of people are
realizing that, yes, our government is so corrupt,
they would actually do deploy such technology upon
their own people.  Nipping the cognitive dissonance
squarely in the bud is the starting point for things
to change for the better.
  
 Of government/corporatist/utility desire to maintain
domination over their awakening customers, when
pondering the latest PR stunts, the word �desperation�
doth cometh to mind.
  
 And when you watch the below video of PSREC�s General
Manager Bob Marshall fighting with his conscience,
you have to wonder how much he got paid off to
disconnect, photograph and stalk Joshua Hart and
his family.  In an absurd demonstration of doublespeak
-cronyism, Marshall actually accuses the individual
whose electricity he illegally disconnected of being
the bully. See for yourself:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/02/28/epa-moves-against-major-alaska-gold-mine-could-sideline-project-over-salmon/
  
 The EPA gestapo on Friday moved against a massive mine
project in Alaska which supporters say could contain
billions of dollars in gold and copper, delivering a
win for �environmentalists� who claimed the mine could
endanger sockeye salmon populations.
  
 The decision on Pebble Mine was highly anticipated,
and comes after an EPA report in January found
large-scale mining in the Bristol Bay watershed posed
significant risk to salmon and could adversely affect
Alaska Natives in the region, whose culture is built
around salmon.
  
 The gestapo will now examine whether to block or
otherwise restrict the mine project. But that decision
alone promises to significantly delay the project;
whether the EPA decides to bar construction entirely
remains to be seen.
  
 The action, announced Friday, is what supporters of
the proposed Pebble Mine have feared. Backers have
claimed the project could yield more than 100 million
ounces of gold, 80 billion pounds of copper and other
precious minerals. Companies have spent millions
researching and monitoring the area in an effort to
assure the EPA the mine would not cause ecological
damage.
  
 It�s well over due for some class-action lawsuits
against this gestapo who consistently interferes in
just about everything in today�s society.

Torcello goes on to suggest that such activity �ought

 Torcello�s America would also see countless scientists
thrown into prison for continually presenting evidence
that shows there is no scientific evidence that human
activity is causing the planet to warm. The latest to
be locked up would be Greenpeace co-founder Patrick
Moore, who testified in front of a Senate committee
last month that �There is no scientific proof that
human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are the dominant
cause of the minor warming of the Earth�s atmosphere

in order to justify more onerous clean air regulations.
  
 The agency conducted tests on people with health issues
and the elderly, exposing them to high levels of potentially
lethal pollutants, without disclosing the risks of cancer
and death, according to a newly released government report.
  
http://www.scribd.com/doc/215909101/EPA-Human-Study-Subjects
  
 These experiments exposed people, including those with
asthma and heart problems, to dangerously high levels of
toxic pollutants, including diesel fumes, reads a EPA
inspector general report obtained by The Daily Caller
News Foundation. The EPA also exposed people with health
issues to levels of pollutants up to 50 times greater
than the agency says is safe for humans.

(63) Eco-fascist Cop Pulls Gun On Fifth Graders Building
�Environment-hurting� Tree Fort
  
http://www.infowars.com/cop-pulls-gun-on-fifth-graders-building-tree-fort/
  
 Police in Georgia forced a group of fifth graders to
the ground at gunpoint this week as they attempted to
build a tree fort in their own neighborhood.
  
 According to 911 records, Henry County Police were
called after a neighbor noticed the children �chopping
off tree limbs,� an activity she claimed was hurting the
environment and creating �tripping hazards.�
  
 Police arrived on scene to find 11-year-old Omari Grant
and his friends playing in a small patch of trees,
prompting at least one officer to reportedly draw his
firearm and force the boys to the ground.
  
 �I was thinking that I don�t want to be shot today,
so I just listened to what they said,� Grant said.
  
 As the children lay face down, the officer allegedly
screamed profanities as he forced them to spread their
arms and legs. Grant�s mother, Janice Baptiste, detailed
her son�s experience in an interview with WSB-TV.
  
 �All he could get out at the time was, �Mom, he had a
gun in my face, he had a gun in my face,�� Baptiste said.
�So my son was of course traumatized by that.�
  
 After the children were searched, Grant was taken back
to his home by the officer, who also startled Baptiste
with his unstable appearance.
  
 �He just came with such an attitude,� Baptiste said.
�His whole physical appearance was one of, �I�m Mr.
Big and bad.��
  
 Grant says he is now hesitant to play outside in his
own neighborhood, afraid of the very police he always
looked up to.
  
 �I learned that they�re supposed to help you, not make
you feel scared to even come outside,� Grant said.
  
 Edgar Dillard, whose wife made the 911 call, was
reportedly stunned to hear of the neighbor boys�
encounter with police.
  
 �Yeah, that�s pretty shocking to hear that a gun was
pulled on a child,� Dillard said.
  
 Baptiste has filed an excessive force complaint with
the department, which has now opened an internal
investigation. When questioned about the officer�s
actions, Sgt. Joey Smith remained relatively tight-lipped.

(64) ARMED ECO-FASCIST GESTAPO BEING USED TO CONFISCATE
PRIVATE PROPERTY TO LEASE FOR CORPORATE ENERGY PROJECTS!
  
http://www.independentsentinel.com/chilling-truth-siege-of-bundy-ranch-reaches-into-the-white-house/
  
 InfoWars has found a smoking gun in the case of embattled
rancher Cliven Bundy. A lucrative contract � which will
benefit Harry Reid and his son Rory Reid � specifically
mentions the need to rid the land of Cliven Bundy. In
addition, Natural News pointed out that the BLM is in
the business of selling lucrative oil and gas leases.
It does answer the question, Why now?
  
 There is a much bigger picture in all of this, however,
and that is the fact Mr. Obama believes the government
should control the land and water in the United States.
He sees the government as the protector of the nation�s
resources. It is his belief. He does not respect private
property � it is the government�s to take. That should
now be obvious to everyone.
  
 Mr. Obama is social engineering citizens off their land
into congested hubs to preserve the land for nature and
to have it available for government use, maybe even to
share the resources with U.N. member nations such as China,
because he believes in globalism, an extreme form of
globalism. He has already expressed a desire to share
the wealth from our resources with the world through
treaties such as The Law of the Sea treaty.
  
 Natural News reported that the Bureau of Land Management
is in the business of leasing government lands to energy
companies. Significant exploratory drilling is being
conducted in precisely the same area where the Bundy
family has been running cattle since the 1870s. The
�Gold Butte� area can be clearly seen in the map of
areas drilled (purple demarcations).
  
http://www.naturalnews.com/044670_BLM_lies_fracking_leases_Bundy_ranch.html
http://www.naturalnews.com/files/Petroleum-Data-Clark-County-Nevada.pdf
  
 Oil has been found in nearby areas but oil and gas drilling
have worked alongside ranching over the years without a
problem. Of course, if the government can lease the land
on which the cattle graze, it will be lucrative for them.
  
 In July 2011, the federal government agreed to allow
China to buy up 600,000 acres of gas & oil fields in
Texas. This is the same administration that would not
allow new drilling; kicked Shell out of Alaska after
billions of dollars of investments; shut down most
offshore drilling; and tried to shut down Texas oil
fields on the remote possibility that it might harm a
tiny useless lizard that was most often known for being
road kill.
  
 The acreage takes in the Gold Butte area where Bundy
grazes his cattle.
  
 Mr. Obama prefers solar and windmills to oil and gas
however.
  
 Bundy�s name came up in a solar project that the government
currently wants to put in place with the Chinese communists
using Nevada land This time.
  
 InfoWars posted documents found on the BLM website which
BLM has since taken down. One document is titled, �Cattle
Trespass Impacts� and it states that Bundy�s cattle
negatively �impacts� solar development and would prevent
the construction of utility-scale solar power generation
facilities� on �public lands.�
  
 They are talking about a very lucrative �investment� of
$5 billion by Chines communists who will set up an enclave
� a Chinese communist enclave � on US land in Nevada.

 Now, for Cliven Bundy, he�s not fighting this for his
cattle or his own livelihood. He recognizes that he
will probably die before this fight is over. He has
said multiple times that he is fighting this to wake
people up about the tyranny of the Federal Government
and also to help wake up the western states about
getting the rights to their own land back from the
federal government, which has repeatedly shut down
ranchers and closed off land. (MO = 1st, get all the
ranchers, farmers, Native Americans, and foresters
that use the land for positive, sustainable production
off of the land; 2nd, grab up all the resources; 3rd,
close off the lands to public access including camping,
hiking, horseback riding, hunting, fishing, boating,
shooting, etc; 4th, sell off the resources to the
highest bidder regardless of what that will do to the
land, the local environment, or the economy; 5th,
collect royalties on the resources in perpetuity;
6th, reduce and eliminate all SLS and PILT payments
to the states, impoverishing them beyond belief.)
  
HARRY REID IS AN EXPOSED TRAITOR! VOTE HIS ASS OUT!
  
 Harry Reid has now exposed himself as the fascist
he really is - claiming Americans who try to protect
their land from being confiscated from federal agents
for corporate leases are �criminals.� Harry has now
made it very clear - he has no respect for Americans�
property rights at all. Having a vested interest with
a Chinese corporation, why would he care about us? It
looks as if Harry Reid would be willing to put civil
lives at risk for offshore corporate interests.

UPDATE ; BLM STEALING 90,000 Acres of Property From Texas
  
 US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Director Neil Kornze
responded to the April letters from Texas Attorney General
Greg Abbott (R) and Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) about the Red
River land dispute between the federal government and the
State of Texas. The letter comes approximately two months
after the initial requests from Abbott and Cruz were
submitted to the director and largely doubles down on
broad claims of federal ownership. ... ...
  
 Kornze�s letter explains the BLM�s procedures for developing
its new Resource Management Planning (RMP) process. To
summarize, the RMP/EIS process is designed to establish
general management goals, objectives, and directives for
public resources,� Kornze begins in the letter, �including
lands and minerals, managed by the BLM. The process involves
numerous steps that allow for public input, analysis, and
informed decision-making with regard to public resources.�

(65) EPA Denies Any Scientific Basis for Regulations
  
http://lastresistance.com/5403/shocking-news-epa-scientific-basis-regulations/
  
 I�m sure this will come as quite a shock to our
faithful readers, but the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) admitted that it can�t actually reproduce
the �science� it has been using for years as the
justification for its Clean Air Act.
  
 I remember very distinctly the attitude on the
Georgia Tech campus toward the environmental �science�
department. I�m sure that much of what was studied by
environmental science majors was legitimate, especially
as it concerned local phenomena and processes. But
when it comes to the global aspects of environmental
science (weather systems, causation, the long-term
effects of pollution, etc.), it becomes obvious that
environmental scientists are less reliable than
weathermen and relying heavily on extremely speculative
models of explanation.
  
 Pollution is defined by concentrations. Nothing that
is considered a pollutant is necessarily bad intrinsically
or necessarily. Even toxic elements occur naturally at
low concentrations. The EPA determines what those
concentrations are allowed to be in order to still
be considered �safe.� And recently, the EPA has been
narrowing those regulations even further, most recently
in an attempt to force businesses to �go green.� But
as it turns out, for years, the EPA has created and
enforced regulations based on data that it pawned off
as �hard science� that is impossible to reproduce
independently. It was secret science. Pet science.
Not hard science:
  
  ... The House Science Subcommittee on Investigations
and Oversight, . . . issued its first subpoena in 21
years last August after being stonewalled by the EPA
for two years ...
  
  However, despite �multiple interactions with the
third party owners of the research data in an effort
to obtain that data,� [EPA Administrator Gina] McCarthy
wrote, some of the data subpoenaed by the committee
�are not (and were not) in the possession, custody or
control of the EPA, nor are they within the authority
to obtain data that the agency identified. ... The EPA
acknowledges, however, that the data provided are not
sufficient in themselves to replicate the analyses in
the epidemiological studies, nor would they allow for
the one to one mapping of each pollutant and ecological
variable to each subject.�
  
 So, in other words, the actual particulars of how much
particulate pollutants are considered dangerous are
totally arbitrary. The EPA largely set those regulations
how they wanted to, and supported their legitimacy with
a thin fig leaf of �science.� What did you expect though?
Politicized science is always suspect.

(66) EPA Requesting Jurisdiction Over All Public And
Private Streams In The United States!
  
http://www.wnd.com/2014/04/biggest-land-grab-in-the-history-of-the-world/
  
http://wealthydebates.com/epa-requesting-jurisdiction-public-private-streams-us/
  
 In a move lawmakers and farmers are calling �the biggest
land grab in the history of the world,� the Environmental
Protection Agency is requesting jurisdiction over all
public and private streams in the United States that are
�intermittent, seasonal and rain-dependent.�
  
 The EPA and the US Army Corps of Engineers in late March
jointly released a proposed rule, Waters of the United
States, in an effort to clarify which streams and wetlands
are protected under the Clean Water Act.
  
 A statement issued by the EPA says �the proposed rule
will benefit businesses by increasing efficiency in
determining coverage of the Clean Water Act.� ... ...
  
 But lawmakers and farmers express concern that this
kind of regulation would allow the EPA in conjunction
with the Bureau of Land Management, the Department of
Energy and the Army to dictate on a never-before-seen
scale everything from grazing rights, food production,
animal health and the use of energy on private lands.
  
 �We�re hearing from farm groups throughout the United
States about uncertainties regarding agricultural
exemptions,� Murkowski said. �They say it�s not so
farm-friendly as the statements that have been made
by your administration.�
  
UPDATE! ; EPA Declares War Against Property Owners
  
 New water way rules proposed by the EPA could devastate
homesteaders, farmers, ranchers and other rural property
owners, US Senator John Thune (R-South Dakota) says.
  
 The agency�s attempt to expand its jurisdiction over
wetlands and water ways could make it impossible or
prohibitively expensive for property owners to make use
of their own land, Thune says.
  
 Under the current rules the Clean Water Act only applies
to large streams and rivers. The Environmental Protection
Agency wants to rewrite the rules so the Act applies even
to seasonal streams and creeks, and also to wetlands that
are near protected rivers and streams.
  
 Critics like Thune charge that this will give the agency
the power to fine property owners who build stock ponds,
drainage ditches and even small hydroelectric systems
without a permit. They also say it will expand the EPA�s
power over private property and entangle regular everyday
citizens in lengthy bureaucratic paperwork.

(67) Family Forced to Sell Property - UN Agenda 21!
  
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/04/16/colo-eminent-domain-case-settled-with-115000-sale/
  
 A contentious eminent domain case in which a local
government sought to take private backcountry land for
open space has been settled, with the landowners agreeing
to a $115,000 sale.
  
 �To me, what just came out of it is, you can�t win,
you can�t fight the government,� landowner Ceil Barrie
said Wednesday.
  
 She and her husband, Andy, owned ten acres of land
perched at 11,000 feet elevation in Breckenridge. The
property, with breathtaking views, was a private patch
of land surrounded by White River National Forest.
  
 An old, uninhabited day-use cabin, an outhouse and a
shuttered gold mine sit on it.
  
 The Barries� legal troubles began when they worked to
access their personal paradise with a utility vehicle.
They traveled on an old mining road dating back to the
1880s and said the county did not even know about the
road until they made them aware of it.
  
 The county asked to buy the land, but the Barries did
not want to part with their piece of Colorado heaven.
  
 So Summit County condemned it, filed for eminent domain
and petitioned for immediate possession.

(68) Energy Giants Caught in Green Tax Racket in UK
  
 Millions of households have missed out on a �50 saving
on their energy bill because a green tax cut has been
swiped by suppliers.
  
 All of the big six firms � British Gas, EDF Energy, Eon,
Npower, Scottish and Southern Energy and Scottish Power
� will save money this year after the Government slashed
network charges and the cost of implementing green schemes.
  
 And they will no longer have to pick up the tab for a
Warm Home Discount � which gives vulnerable customers a
�135 reduction on their electricity bill.
  
 The Government says these changes would save households
around �50 on their annual gas and electricity bill.
  
 However, four months on and millions of customers have
not received a penny in discount.
  
 An estimated five million households have missed out
on the reduction because they are on a fixed-rate deal.
  
 The energy companies claim most people have benefited
by up to �35. But this still means they have pocketed
the remainder  � at �15 from each fixed-rate customer,
that makes �75 million.
  
 Npower has told customers they would receive a bill cut
from February only if they were on a standard or variable
tariff and had been affected by a price rise last December.
  
 Its fixed-rate customers get no price cut. They are
effectively still paying the green tax because it is
priced into their bills.
  
 Customers on fixed tariffs with ScottishPower also missed
out. The firm said it would cut their bills only if customers
ended up worse off than those who are on variable deals.
  
 EDF Energy and Eon have similarly neglected customers
locked into fixes. Their customers have had potential
price hikes lowered instead of receiving reductions to
their current bills � but this affects only those on
variable deals.
  
 British Gas, Scottish and Southern Energy have reduced
bills for all their customers � both on fixes and variable
deals.
  
 The suppliers are also hiding behind a baffling array of
price hikes and cuts. READ THE REST ...

(69) California Water Gestapo to Spy on Homeowners
  
 The drought in California has caused 45 water agencies
in the state to enforce mandatory limits on water use.
  
 Citizens are encouraged to turn in neighbors who are
suspected of wasting H2O to water-waste patrols.
  
 These water patrols teach people to avoid wasting water
on driveways, lawns and swimming pools, but can also
cite residents for repeated violations.
  
 �We do have the stick if people don�t get it,� Kim Loeb,
a Visalia, Calif. natural resource conservation manager,
told the Associated Press.
  
 Sacramento has deputized 40 government employees, from
building inspectors to meter readers, to stop water waste.
Six employees patrol full time for violations.

(70) Thanks to An Endless Avalanche of EPA Regulations,
Electricity Prices Are Going to Get Much More Expensive
  
 The problems confronting the electricity system are the
result of a wide range of forces: new federal regulations
on toxic emissions, rules on greenhouse gases, state
mandates for renewable power, technical problems at
nuclear power plants and unpredictable price trends for
natural gas. Even cheap hydro power is declining in some
areas, particularly California, owing to the long-lasting
drought.
  
 �Everywhere you turn, there are proposals and regulations
to make prices go higher,� said Daniel Kish, senior vice
president at the Institute for Energy Research. �The trend
line is up, up, up. We are going into uncharted territory.�
  
 New emissions rules on mercury, acid gases and other toxics
by the Environmental Protection Agency are expected to result
in significant losses of the nation�s coal-generated power,
historically the largest and cheapest source of electricity.
Already, two dozen coal generating units across the country
are scheduled for decommissioning. When the regulations go
into effect next year, 60 gigawatts of capacity � equivalent
to the output of 60 nuclear reactors � will be taken out of
the system, according to Energy Department estimates.
  
 Moeller, the federal energy commissioner, warns that these
rapid changes are eroding the system�s ability to handle
unexpected upsets, such as the polar vortex, and could
result in brownouts or even blackouts in some regions as
early as next year.

 The EPA is conducting legislative warfare tactics to force
an incremental shutdown of our current electric grid. In
the meantime, Americans are being forced out of their homes
when not being connected to the electric grid or for simply
choosing to live off-the-grid.

UPDATE ; State Regulators Warn New EPA Regulations Could
Harm America�s Electrical Grid
  
http://dailycaller.com/2014/05/12/report-state-regulators-wont-let-epa-harm-electrical-grid/
  
 �Congress never intended for the Clean Air Act to authorize
EPA�s extraordinary policy decisions to phase out entire
sources of energy in this proposed rulemaking,� the American
Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) and the American
Petroleum Institute alleged in comments to the EPA. The
organizations were commenting on proposed new rules for
power plants, oil refineries and other industrial facilities.
  
 �Mandating the use of specific energy sources will only
serve to drive up US manufacturers� costs,� Charles T.
Drevna of the AFPM said. �Our nation is on the verge of
a manufacturing renaissance, but this and other all-cost,
little-to-no-benefit rules will threaten our tremendous
opportunity, erode our competitive advantage and drive
business overseas.�
  
 The proposed rules could drive coal-fired power plants
and many oil refineries out of business, the two groups
alleged. This could lead to energy shortages and higher
energy costs, particularly for electricity.

? UPDATE! YOU WERE WARNED! Price of Electricity Hit Record
for May - Thank New EPA Regulations and the Eco-fascists
  
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/price-electricity-hit-record-may
  
 The electricity price index and the average price for a
kilowatthour (KWH) of electricity both hit records for May,
according to data released today by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
  
 The average price for a KWH hit 13.6 cents during the month,
up about 3.8 percent from 13.1 cents in May 2013.
  
 The seasonally adjusted electricity price index rose from
201.431 in May 2013 to 208.655 in May 2014�an increase of
about 3.6 percent.
  
 If the prevailing trend holds, the price of electricity will
hit an all-time record high this summer, when demand for
electricity is at its peak.
  
 Electricity will continue to rise in price thanks to new
EPA regulations that are forcing power plants to shut down,

(71) Eco-fascist Governor Forces Carbon Tax Through
Executive Order (The War Against Prosperity Continues)
  
 Washington Democrat Governor Jay Inslee is not waiting
for the state legislature to regulate carbon dioxide
emissions, but instead has issued an executive order
to implement a cap-and-trade program, eliminate coal
power and fund green energy projects.
  
 Eco-fascist control freaks like Jay Inslee are
determined to bankrupt both middle and lower class
Americans in the name of fraudulent politicized science.
The only way they can enforce this (of-course) will
be through corrupted power-craven fascist gestapo
agencies through a barrel of a gun.

(72) Eco-fascists In Virginia Pushing Zoning Ordinance
To Outlaw Social Gatherings at at Household Residences
  
http://govtslaves.info/virginia-proposal-limit-many-people-can-visit-house/
  
 A plan to ban �frequent and large gatherings at neighborhood
homes� is a lawsuit waiting to happen, a Fairfax County
supervisor predicts.
  
 Officials will get an idea Wednesday when public-comment
hearings begin in Virginia�s most populous county.
  
 �I believe the county is risking a lawsuit and/or
aconstitution challenge by interfering with peoples�
right to assemble,� Supervisor Pat Herrity said in a
statement.
  
 The proposed zoning ordinance limits �group assembly�
at residences to 49 people a day. Such gatherings �shall
not occur more frequently than three times in any 40-day
period.�
  
 County officials say they have received complaints about
group meetings at homes. But Herrity said �they haven�t
even reached 1 percent of the thousands of complaints
our Department of Code Compliance investigates a year.�
  
 �This is yet another instance where we appear to be
punishing the many for the actions of the few,� said
Herrity, who reported a total of six complaints were
received last year.
  
 Church groups, scouting organizations or even sports
fans drawn to a home�s big-screen TV during playoffs
could be potential targets of the proposed county law.
Realtors worry that even open houses would invite civil
penalties.
  
 John Whitehead, an attorney and president of the civil-
libertarian Rutherford Institute, calls the Fairfax plan
�nefarious.�
  
 �Broad enactments like these have governments assuming
that private property is their property,� Whitehead said
in an interview with Watchdog.org.
  
 �If you can�t determine what goes on at your own residence,
you have surrendered your rights. The Constitution is
founded on property rights.�
  
 Nevertheless, some courts have upheld aggressive zoning
restrictions. In Phoenix, a minister was sentenced to 60
days in jail for conducting Bible study classes with 10
people at a home.

(73) Congressional Investigation Into Secret EPA Gestapo
  
 A rogue group within the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) that is run out of the White House is operating outside
the law and for years has �blocked independent investigations
by the EPA�s inspector general,� according to an Associated
Press account of an EPA investigator�s prepared congressional
testimony.
  
 In testimony at a hearing of a House oversight committee
scheduled for Wednesday, May 7, Patrick Sullivan, an
assistant EPA inspector general for investigations, is
expected to provide compelling evidence of an extraordinary
abuse of power � even for Barack Obama � by the all but
unknown EPA Office of Homeland Security.
  
The Associated Press reports:
  
 The office of about 10 employees is overseen by EPA
Administrator Gina McCarthy�s office, and the inspector
general�s office is accusing it of impeding its independent
investigations into employee misconduct, computer security
and external threats, including compelling employees
involved in cases to sign non-disclosure agreements.
  
 �Under the heavy cloak of national security, the Office
of Homeland Security has repeatedly rebuffed and refused
to cooperate with the OIG�s ongoing requests for information
or cooperation,� Sullivan wrote in prepared testimony
obtained by The Associated Press. �This block unquestionably
has hamstrung the Office of Inspector General�s ability to
carry out its statutory mandate to investigate wrongdoing
of EPA employees.�
  
 In other words, a unit within the EPA that is under the
direct control of the White House and its political associates
is using the �national security� trope to actively prevent
investigations into EPA violations of the law. Given the
high profile of their benefactor, this group fears no
repercussions. ... ...
  
 Representative Darrell Issa (R-Calif), a frequent foe
of the Obama administration, is advantageously positioned
to put the screws to the president in this scandal, as
well. As chairman of the House Oversight and Government
Reform Committee, Issa will be heading the investigation
in the White House�s secret EPA squelch squad. �It�s
disturbing that even investigations by this administration�s
own nonpartisan watchdogs are being blocked by political
appointees,� Issa said, as quoted by the AP.
  
 Given the EPA�s egregious disregard for the Constitution
and the formerly unalienable rights of life, liberty, and
property, it is little wonder that the president�s political
team has spiked any investigation that might expose to the
light of public notice the truth of the agency�s reign of
terror. The evidence is overwhelming.
  
 Two years ago, the Supreme Court handed the EPA (and the
Obama administration) an unfavorable ruling in the case of
Sackett v. US, but it�s the events leading up to that high
court hearing that boil the blood of constitutionalists
and property owners. As reported by William Jasper, senior
editor of The New American:
  
 How long would your bank account hold out if an agency of
the federal government were fining you $75,000 per day? A
couple of hours, maybe � or a few minutes? Not many
homeowners could handle that kind of crushing financial
blow. Even a Bill Gates, a Warren Buffett, or a George
Soros might blanch at such astronomical fines.
  
 But that was the potential cost facing Idaho couple Mike
and Chantelle Sackett ... who ran into the iron fist of
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) when they began
building their home in 2007 on a two-thirds acre parcel in
a residential neighborhood of Priest Lake. Like their
neighbors who had already built homes next door, the
Sacketts got their permits from the county and began
laying gravel and preparing the ground for building.
That�s when the EPA came in and, without hearings or
notice, declared that the property is �wetlands� and
ordered the Sacketts to restore it to the EPA bureaucracy�s
satisfaction.
  
 The Sacketts, having good reasons to believe their
property is not a wetlands, were determined to contest
the EPA order. However, the EPA denied their request for
a hearing. They sought judicial relief, but the US Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the EPA, ruling that
the Sacketts had no right to immediate judicial review
of the matter. The Ninth Circuit held that the couple
would first have to go through the EPA�s years-long
wetlands permit process, which would end up costing the
property owners many times the value of their land!
  
 Basically, a group of unelected and unaccountable federal
officials has shattered the dreams of the Sackett family,
robbed them of the due process of law guaranteed to every
citizen by the Constitution, and charged them $75,000 a
day for the privilege.
  
 The Sacketts understood the enormity of the issue raised
by their pouring of a little gravel on less than an acre
of land. Said Mrs. Sackett in the days leading up to the
Supreme Court decision, �The EPA can come in and turn your
life upside down. They can make you feel really small and
insignificant. And they take away from you your sense of
America.�
  
 The EPA is not content to obliterate property rights,
however. Recent actions taken against the country's last
lead smelting facility will affect the right to keep and
bear arms, as well, by substantially impacting the production
of ammunition. On December 31, 2013, the lead refining plant
closed for good.
  
 The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported just before the
shuttering of the plant:
  
 About 145 employees of the Doe Run lead smelter [in Herculaneum,
Missouri] learned they will lose their jobs at the end of
December because of the plant�s closure, the Doe Run Co.
said Wednesday. An additional 73 contractor jobs also will
be eliminated.
  
 By forcibly closing this plant, the Obama administration
took yet another unconstitutional step � one that will
severely impinge on the nation�s ammunition-manufacturing
capability.
  
 Why would the Doe Run Company, the owners of the Missouri
lead smelting facility, agree to being run out of business
by the EPA? One word: extortion.
  
 In a document published on its website, the EPA explains
that in order for Doe Run to continue its operations, the
company would have to agree to pay �$65 million to correct
violations of several environmental laws at 10 of its lead
mining, milling and smelting facilities in southeast Missouri.
The settlement also requires the company to pay a $7 million
civil penalty.�
  
 In a statement to the press, Doe Run said the fine and the
required upgrades to its facilities were �too financially
risky.�
  
 In cases such as those of the Sacketts, the Doe Run smelting
facility, and scores of others nationwide, the EPA�s heavy
handed, unconstitutional tactics should have been investigated
and the nearly unbounded power should have been reined in.
  
 They carried on without oversight, however, and perhaps
now we know why.
  
 Many who have felt the wrath of the dictators�s shadowy
EPA division are hopeful that the House�s committee hearings
will finally expose the group�s many misdeeds.

(74) �Eco-friendly� Venture Capitalist Vindo Khosla to
Testify in Court After Blocking Access to Public Property
  
 A Silicon Valley billionaire will be forced to testify
on Monday as surfers battle venture capitalist Vindo Khosl
over access to a popular northern California beach. The
case may be the most significant challenge to the state�s
public access laws.
  
 According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the Surfrider
Foundation has accused Khosla �of flouting the California
Coastal Act when he blocked the only road into Martins
Beach� from the public.
  
 A lawyer for Khosla�s company countered and said that,
�Surfrider, in this lawsuit, is asking to protect an
access right that simply doesn�t exist.� But they were
denied their motion to prevent Khosla from testifying in
the matter, and Khosla will have to do so on Monday as
the trial resumes.
  
 As the Chronicle noted, a 1972 �California Coastal Zone
Conservation Initiative� made the �entire coast public
property, including beaches below the mean high tide,�
and the lawsuit presents the biggest challenge to that
initiative.
  
 Khosla �is famous for his backing of bold, eco-friendly
projects and is a darling of Democratic politicians,� and
is company paid �$37.5 million for the property, which
includes 45 leased cabins along the coastal cliffs.�
  
 Surfrider is claiming that since the �closed gate means
the only way people can get there is from the ocean,�
Khosla is in violation of the �public access provisions
in the coastal act.�
  
 Lawyers for Martins Beach have also weighed in, saying the
previous historic $5 �beach fees prove that the public never
had a right to access that beach.�

(75) Agenda 21, The Plan for a Global Fascist Dictatorship
  
http://www.wakingtimes.com/2014/05/13/agenda-21-plan-global-fascist-dictatorship/
  
 One of the most popular films of 2012 was The Hunger Games
which portrayed a post-apocalyptic nation called Panem in
which a super-rich, super-pampered, super-callous �elite�
lived in high-tech luxury while the rest of the population
daily battled to survive in abject poverty locked away behind
prison fences in intensively-populated �people zones�. Panem
comes from the Latin phrase panem et circenses or �bread and
circuses� � a term derived from Rome and meaning to give the
people diversions and distractions to hide what is being done
to them. Exactly what is happening today.
  
 The Totalitarian Tiptoes to just such a world are happening
all around us, although most people can�t see this because
they don�t connect the dots. People tend to live in their own
�little world� and focus on only a few subjects and interests.
This gives them a distorted view of what is happening because
they are so busy concentrating on the strands that they cannot
see the tapestry. The world of The Hunger Games is already
well on the way to fruition unless humanity has a fundamental
reassessment of reality.
  
 The foundations, structure and �must haves� of a Hunger Games
society are detailed in a plan being imposed through the United
Nations called Agenda 21 which encompasses two related themes
of �sustainable development� and �biodiversity�. Sustainable
development � as in don�t use more than can be replaced � sounds
sensible enough at first until you realize what this and
biodiversity really mean in the context of the conspiracy.
  
 Agenda 21 was established at the United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development in Rio de Janerio, Brazil, in 1992,
hosted by Maurice Strong, a Canadian oil and business billionaire
and long-time front man for the Rothschilds and Rockefellers.
Strong has been a leader of their exploit-the-environment-to-
scam-the-people programme which is now in full flow. Strong is
a member of the Club of Rome, the environmental Hidden Hand in
the Round Table network that includes the Bilderberg Group,
Trilateral Commission and Council on Foreign Relations.
  
 Strong said in support of Agenda 21: �Isn�t the only hope for
this planet that the industrialised civilization collapse? Isn�t
it our responsibility to bring that about?� This is a man who
became mega-rich through the oil industry. He now lives in
billionaire luxury in China where carbon-emitting industry is
booming and he is a director of the Chicago Climate Exchange
(largest shareholder, Goldman Sachs), which is �the world�s
first and North America�s only legally-binding greenhouse-gas
emission registry reduction-system for emission sources and
offset projects in North America and Brazil�. The Exchange was
established with funding from the Joyce Foundation where Barack
Obama was once a director. Strong and Al Gore make money through
the Carbon Exchange and other means from the lies they promote
about climate change and the solutions they propose. Kate
Johnston wrote on the Globalresearch.cawebsite: �The same men
that sold us the myth of man-made global warming are the same
men that sold us the �solution� of a Carbon Tax and Emissions
Trading Scheme and now they�re profiting off their lucrative
investments which are based on lies.� Strong fled to China in
2006 after being accused of corruption with respect to the UN
oil for food program.
  
 Climate change propaganda is a No-Problem-Reaction-Solution
technique to justify Agenda 21 and its stable-mate the Biodiversity
Treaty. This is an internationally-binding document involving
nearly 200 countries. The United States signed the treaty, but
it was not ratified by the Senate after people like ecologist
and ecosystem scientist Dr. Michael Coffman exposed its true
consequences and implications. He said that he realized during
the 1980s and 1990s that the plan was to use the excuse of
protecting the environment to confiscate half the land of the
United States. Similar plans exist for every other country.
America may not have ratified the treaty, but it is being
implemented by the day. Agenda 21 demands the central global
control of all land; all private property; all water sources
and distribution; all other resources which includes people
in its definition; all energy supplies and distribution and
all food production and distribution.
  
 Agenda 21 is called �the agenda for the 21st century� and that
refers to global fascism / communism. This is a summary of what
Agenda 21 / Sustainable Development / Biodiversity is seeking
to impose:
  
 � An end to national sovereignty
 � State planning and management of all land resources, ecosystems,
   deserts, forests, mountains, oceans and fresh water; agriculture;
   rural development; biotechnology; and ensuring �equity�
 � The State to �define the role� of business and financial
   resources
 � Abolition of private property (it�s not �sustainable�)
 � �Restructuring� the family unit
 � Children raised by the State
 � People told what their job will be
 � Major restrictions on movement
 � Creation of �human settlement zones�
 � Mass resettlement as people are forced to vacate land where
   they currently live
 � Dumbing down education (achieved)
 � Mass global depopulation in pursuit of all the above

(77) Virginia Oyster Farmers Being Zoned Out of Existance
  
http://www.policestateusa.com/2014/seaford-oyster-company/
  
 The York County Board of Supervisors is threatening the
livelihood of oyster farmers.  Zoning is a popular way for
counties to control where and how things are bought and
sold. Zoning ordinances can often dictate whether people
can work, live and play in the same neighborhood. The
details of zoning are excruciatingly complex leaving people
unable to respond in a timely manner. The enforcement of
zoning regulations involves heavy fines and/or incarceration.
In short, zoning has been a terrific way for counties to
control people�s lives.
  
 Such is the story of oyster farmer Anthony Bavuso and his
family. After years of working corporate and office jobs,
Bavuso and his wife took a short hiatus from the day-to-day
drudgery and returned with a new perspective: they wanted to
become contributors to the economy of raw materials by producing
something that people needed.
  
 Bavuso moved his family back to their home state of Virginia
with the dream of becoming food producers. Having access to a
waterfront property, and a background in oyster gardening, it
made sense to start an oyster farm. Like other types of farming,
oyster farmers have to manage the growth of their oysters � a
labor-intensive process requiring a high level of experience.
An added benefit, for Bavuso, was the knowledge that oysters
clean the water. As a lifelong Virginian, the health of the
Chesapeake Bay is never far from his mind. (Oysters eat algae,
which proliferates in the pollution of the bay, and turn the
algae into usable protein for humans.)  So the Bavuso family
started Seaford Oyster Company in Seaford, Virginia.
  
 York County maintains a set of zoning ordinances regulating
various aspects of farming.  There are a list of things that
are allowed, and if an activity is not on the list, the county
prohibits it. Penalties include steep fines and possible
incarceration. Small changes to the zoning ordinances can
easily disrupt industries and people�s livelihoods.
  
 In 2010, Bavuso followed regulatory procedure within his zoning
district for an oyster farm. He established a lease with the
Commonwealth of Virginia that gave him the �rights� to the
section of the bottomland in the Poquoson River adjacent to
his property. (The bottom lease gives farmers access to
shellfish only.) Additional regulations and permits involved
food safety. Wanting to show his interest in producing the
safest food possible, Bavuso complied with the entire permitting
process.
  
 Prior to starting the farm, the family looked at this list of
zones and restrictions. In the Bavuso�s zone, farming is �permitted
by right.� This means for people to farm the land, they need no
additional land use permits from the county. According to the
definition of aquaculture in the code, what Bavuso is doing is
considered part of what is �permitted by right.�
  
 By 2011, after more than a year of farming, refining his expertise
and growing his customer base, Bavuso read in a local newspaper
that the county was planning on rezoning to remove agriculture
activities from Bavuso�s �zone.� A �zone� is any area that the
county designates. Within each zone, the county stipulates what
particular activities can take place. Once designated, the county
applies regulations and restrictions. For example, one common
zoning requirement is that if an area is zoned for residential
building, there are restrictions and regulations determining
how from the property line a structure can be built.
  
 Bavuso wanted to make sure that he would be grandfathered in and
that these changes would not affect his farming operation. He
didn�t know it at the time, but the ordinance was crafted to
punish a fellow oyster farmer by the name of Greg Garrett. The
rezoning effort was a actually a political vendetta to punish
Garrett for supporting a challenger to a currently elected
member of the York County Board of Supervisors (BOS). Bavuso
has gotten caught up in that because he does not agree with
the agenda of the BOS either. And so began what would be at
least 3 years of limbo for a peaceful man and his family. After
his vocal opposition, Mr. Bavuso is now is convinced that they
are attacking him, personally.

(78) Mega Banks Monopolizing Control Of Water
  
http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-new-water-barons-wall-street-mega-banks-are-buying-up-the-worlds-water/5383274
  
http://survivalbackpack.us/mega-banks-monopolizing-control-water/
  
 A disturbing trend in the water sector is accelerating worldwide.
The new �water barons� � the Wall Street banks and elitist
multibillionaires � are buying up water all over the world at
unprecedented pace.
  
 Familiar mega-banks and investing powerhouses such as Goldman
Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, UBS, Deutsche Bank, Credit
Suisse, Macquarie Bank, Barclays Bank, the Blackstone Group,
Allianz, and HSBC Bank, among others, are consolidating their
control over water. Wealthy tycoons such as T. Boone Pickens,
former President George H.W. Bush and his family, Hong Kong�s
Li Ka-shing, Philippines� Manuel V. Pangilinan and other
Filipino billionaires, and others are also buying thousands
of acres of land with aquifers, lakes, water rights, water
utilities, and shares in water engineering and technology
companies all over the world.
  
 The second disturbing trend is that while the new water barons
are buying up water all over the world, governments are moving
fast to limit citizens� ability to become water self-sufficient
(as evidenced by the well-publicized Gary Harrington�s case in
Oregon, in which the state criminalized the collection of
rainwater in three ponds located on his private land, by
convicting him on nine counts and sentencing him for 30 days
in jail). Let�s put this criminalization in perspective:
  
 Billionaire T. Boone Pickens owned more water rights than any
other individuals in America, with rights over enough of the
Ogallala Aquifer to drain approximately 200,000 acre-feet
(or 65 billion gallons of water) a year. But ordinary citizen
Gary Harrington cannot collect rainwater runoff on 170 acres
of his private land.
  
 It�s a strange New World Order in which multibillionaires and
elitist banks can own aquifers and lakes, but ordinary citizens
cannot even collect rainwater and snow runoff in their own
backyards and private lands.

(79) Obama Regime Wants EPA to Force Unlawful Carbon Taxes
  
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2014/05/29/epa-obama-administrations-new-legislative-branch/
  
 Will the Environmental Protection Agency resurrect the
defunct Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill, a 1,428-page
behemoth that threatened to slam the brakes on the US
economy before it died in the Senate in 2010?
  
 That may seem unbelievable but it�s the likely end game if
courts uphold EPA�s draconian carbon �pollution� rules for
new and existing fossil-fuel power plants, which are almost
fully upon us. And American democracy will also suffer if
EPA goes ahead.
  
 EPA�s carbon rule, proposed last September, would use the
existing Clean Air Act to establish a new source performance
standard (NSPS)�a limit, in plain English�for carbon dioxide
(CO2) emissions that no commercial coal-fired power plant
can possibly meet.
  
 The proposed standard is 1,100 pounds of CO2 per megawatt
hour of electricity produced. Today�s most advanced commercial
coal power plants emit 1,800 pounds of CO2 per megawatt hour.
New plants could comply only by installing carbon capture and
storage (CCS) technology � a capability that can add 80% to
the cost of building a new coal plant.
  
 To make the proposal look reasonable, EPA has to bend reality
a lot. Under section 111(b) of the Clean Air Act, NSPS are to
reflect the �best system of emission reduction� that has been
�adequately demonstrated.� EPA claims CCS is adequately
demonstrated -- but there are no commercial-scale power
plants operating anywhere with CCS, and none is being built
without heavy taxpayer and/or consumer subsidies.
  
 In short, a utility that builds a new coal plant with CCS,
as required by EPA�s ruling, risks going bankrupt. The rule
is thus an informal ban on investment in new coal power
generation.
  
When did Congress approve that policy? Never!
  
FLASHBACK ; Obama Promises to Bankrupt US Coal Industry
  
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpTIhyMa-Nw
  
Mirror here � http://f.lui.li/get_1506_4f4d.html
  
UPDATE ; The EPA Claims They Will Force Carbon Taxation,
Commences Financial Warfare Against Power Plants and the
Consumers Within the United States of America!
  
 Total lawlessness by an agency granting themselves
dictatorial power to create and enforce their own laws!
  
NO LEGISLATION PASSED. NO EXECUTIVE ORDER. JUST SANCTIONS.
  
Get ready to live the life of a third world dictatorship.
  
 The Obama regime took aim at the coal industry on Monday
by mandating a 30 percent cut in carbon emissions at fossil
fuel-burning power plants by 2030 -- despite claims the
regulation will cost nearly a quarter-million jobs a year
and force plants across the country to close.
  
http://www2.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2014-05/documents/20140602proposal-cleanpowerplan.pdf
  
 The 645-page rule, expected to be final next year, is a
centerpiece of the UN�s Agenda 21, and a step that the
Obama regime hopes will get other countries to �act� when
negotiations on a new international treaty resume next year.
  
 If you would like to live a more prosperous life in the
future, you may have no other choice but to consider
leaving this country. America is damned to collapse.

(80) EPA To EXPAND Use Of Bee Killing Pesticides
  
 The EPA wants to expand the use of two pesticides that
could be a major threat to America�s bee population, farms
and the nation�s food supply. That�s the charge being made
by the Center for Food Safety and beekeepers.
  
 The agency is proposing more uses for thiamethoxam,
apesticide that has been banned in the European Union
because it is considered a threat to bees. A letter from
the Center to the Environmental Protection Agency raises
some serious concerns about thiamethoxam and another
pesticide, sulfoxaflor.
  
 �Peer-reviewed scientific studies have consistently shown
that these systemic chemicals are highly toxic to honeybees,
other pollinators and beneficial insects,� the letter
states. �Pollinator losses represent a serious threat to
the agricultural industry and food security. Furthermore,
these systemic pesticides have also been shown to negatively
impact beneficial insects and contaminate water bodies and
soil.�
  
The Threat from Neonic Pesticides
  
 Thiamethoxam and sulfoxaflor are neonic or neonicotinoid
pesticides which studies have tied to bee deaths, as Off
The Grid News has reported. Last year scientists from Health
Canada (Canada�s Department of Health) found 70 percent of
bees that died from colony collapse tested positive for
neonicotinoids. AHarvard study this year also tied bee
deaths to neonicotinoids.
  
 �They�re taking in something that they will ultimately die
from, and they�re taking this into the hive and feeding on
it all winter, then we wonder why we have winter mortality,�
Madeline Chagnon, an environmental scientist at the University
of Quebec, said of bees and the pesticides.
  
 Chagnon says the pesticides enter the soil when they are
coated on seeds. The soil then becomes dusty and is stirred
up during agricultural processes. The dust exposes the bees
to the pesticides and eventually kills them. Bees can also
become exposed to the chemicals while pollinating crops.

(81) EPA Bullies Wyoming Family and Threatens Them With
Massive Fines � Over a Duck Pond
  
http://www.theorganicprepper.ca/epa-bullies-wyoming-family-and-threatens-them-with-massive-fines-over-a-duck-pond-03252014
  
 A Wyoming family is being threatened with massive fines for
building a stock pond on their eight-acre farm.
  
 Andy and Katie Johnson built the pond in 2012. They stocked it
with trout, ducks, and geese.
  
 Of course, the government is why we can�t have nice things.
Naturally, the EPA has found a reason to come around and harass
the Johnsons and prevent them from enjoying their property.
  
 Johnson said the EPA has engaged him in a power play and is
threatening him with massive civil and criminal penalties over
the pond, which they claim is actually a �dam.�
  
Fox News reports:
  
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/03/14/wyoming-welder-faces-fine-for-building-pond-on-his-own-property
  
 The agency claims Johnson violated the Clean Water Act by
building a dam on a creek without a permit from the Army Corps
of Engineers. Further, the EPA claims that material from his
pond is being discharged into other waterways. Johnson says he
built a stock pond � a man-made pond meant to attract wildlife
� which is exempt from Clean Water Act regulations.
  
 Johnson said that his pond is exempt from the law, and he
followed state regulations in building it. He has an approval 
etter from the Wyoming State Engineer�s Office as proof, which
states:
  
 �Said permit is in good standing and is entitled to be exercised
exactly as permitted,� says the letter.
  
 The agency is threatening to hit the family with up to $75,000 a
DAY in fines. Johnson said he�s not paying them a cent:
  
 �I have not paid them a dime nor will I. I will go bankrupt if I
have to fighting it. My wife and I built [the pond] together. We
put our blood, sweat and tears into it. It was our dream.�
  
 Of course, the EPA isn�t backing down. They argue that Johnson
needs to either restore the land or pay the fines. On January 30,
the agency gave Johnson 30 days to hire a consultant to assess the
impact of the supposed unauthorized work and to create a restoration
proposal. That proposal has to be approved by the EPA, of course,
and it must contain a schedule. All work would have to be completed
within 60 days of the plan�s approval.
  
 Sounds like they are setting him for failure, doesn�t it? Even if
he DID violate the law and agreed to make things right, would meeting
those terms even be possible?
  
 If Johnson does not comply with those terms, the EPA is going to
fine him $37,500 per day in civil penalties, along with $37,500 more
every day for statutory violations.
  
 Johnson is fighting back and has gained the support of three Republican
senators � John Barrasso and Mike Enzi, who both represent Wyoming �
and Louisiana Sen. David Vitter, Fox News reports:
  
 The Republican lawmakers sent a March 12 letter to Nancy Stoner, the
EPA�s acting assistant administration for water, saying they were
�troubled� by Johnson�s case and demanding the EPA withdraw the
compliance order.
  
 �Rather than a sober administration of the Clean Water Act, the
Compliance Order reads like a draconian edict of a heavy-handed
bureaucracy,� the letter states.
  
 The letter also questions the EPA�s claim that Johnson�s pond is
actually a dam:
  
 �Fairness and due process require the EPA base its compliance order
on more than an assumption,� they wrote. �Instead of treating Mr.
Johnson as guilty until he proves his innocence by demonstrating his
entitlement to the Clean Water Act section 404 (f)(1)(C) stock pond
exemption, EPA should make its case that a dam was built and that the
Section 404 exemption does not apply.
  
 �If the compliance order stands as an example of how EPA intends
to operate after completing its current �waters of the United States�
rule-making, it should give pause to each and every landowner throughout
the country.�
  
 Johnson said his battle with the EPA is serving as a learning
experience for his children:
  
 �This is showing them that they shouldn�t back down. If you need to
stand up and fight, you do it.
  
 �This goes a lot further than a pond. It�s about a person�s rights. I
have three little kids. I am not going to roll over and let [the government]
tell me what I can do on my land. I followed the rules.�
  
 The infringement on Johnson�s property rights under the veil of
protecting the environment is bad enough, but some say that the
astronomical fines are perhaps an even bigger issue � and may even
be unconstitutional, as Evan Bernick of The Foundry explains:
  
 But the eye-popping aspect of this story is the severity of the
penalties threatened. It�s absurd to threaten someone with tens of
thousands of dollars in fines because he or she lacks a permit. And
it might also be unconstitutional.
  
 The Framers of our Constitution recognized that, at a certain point,
penalties become unconstitutionally disproportionate. The Eighth
Amendment�s Excessive Fines Clause reflects that understanding. In
Austin v. U.S. (1993), and again in U.S. v. Bajakajian (1998), the
U.S. Supreme Court explained that �[t]he Excessive Fines Clause
limits the government�s power to extract payments, whether in cash
or in kind, as punishment for some offense,� and held that civil
sanctions that do not serve solely remedial purposes are subject
to the Excessive Fines Clause. It is impossible to understand the
threatened fines as serving a purely remedial purpose�surely,
repairing any damage that Johnson inflicted would cost less than
$75,000 a day. But, under the terms of the CWA, he is potentially
subject to such penalties as a consequence of his failure to obtain
a permit.
  
 This is just another sad case of big government stomping all over
the little guy. Hopefully the EPA won�t get away with destroying the
Johnsons� hard work and are stopped from sending the family into
financial ruin.

(83) These Are the Kinds of People Who Run the EPA?
  
http://www.mediaite.com/online/epa-hires-consultant-to-tell-them-that-pooping-in-hallways-is-bad/
  
 Well, this puts a new spin on the term �government waste�:
confounded with the problem of an unknown individual leaving
feces in public hallways, a regional branch of the Environmental
Protection Agency hired an outside consultant to inform their
employees that pooping in hallways is bad.
  
 Government Executive got their hands on an email from the
management EPA�s Region 8 in Denver, Colo., in which a supervisor
begged his employees to stop �placing feces in the hallway� and
clogging up toilets with paper towels. While this is, obviously,
a very disgusting matter, the story veers into pretty dumb
territory soon:
  
 Confounded by what to make of this occurrence, EPA management
�consulted� with workplace violence �national expert� John
Nicoletti, who said that hallway feces is in fact a health and
safety risk. He added the behavior was �very dangerous� and the
individuals responsible would �probably escalate� their actions.
  
 According to his bio, Nicoletti is, indeed, a nationally-recognized
expert on workplace and school violence prevention, with accolades
from the National Science Foundation and numerous chairmanships.
He�s even �a member of NASA�s team for developing analog�s for
training astronauts for long duration missions, such as the
Mars Mission.�
  
 Why such a distinguished mind was consulted by the EPA to reach
the conclusion that �placing feces in the hallway� is bad, we�ll
never know.
  
 NOTE: these are the kinds of people who are calling for total
micro-managment over all aspects of the American economy ...

(84) Vets Died as VA Obsessed Over Renewable �Green� Energy
  
The sick and halt wait but the solar panels don�t.
  
 The administrators at the Veterans Administration have
apparently been busy while old soldiers waited to see a
doctor, after all. Serving those who served is not necessarily
a priority, but saving the planet is Job 1. Solar panels and
windmills can be more important than the touch of a healing
hand.
  
 The department early on set up an Office of Green Management
Programs designed to �help VA facilities nationwide recognize
opportunities to green VA, and to reward innovative �green�
practices and efforts by individual facilities and staff within
the VA.� This sometimes means paying more attention to greening
the department and saving the polar ice caps than to health care.
  
 In the department�s words, it adopted a far more important
mission to �become more energy efficient and sustainable, focusing
primarily on renewable energy, energy and water efficiency,
[carbon-dioxide] emissions reduction, and sustainable buildings.�
  
 The green office isn�t merely a desk and telephone tucked away
in the dark corner of a nondescript government building. It�s a
substantial undertaking, with all the luxury, bells and whistles
of a bureaucracy that means business. Eric K. Shinseki, who
resigned as secretary in the wake of the VA scandal of the sin
of omission, traveled the country to boast of the green initiative.
In one instance, he traveled to Massachusetts to flick the switch
at a half-million-dollar windmill project at the Massachusetts
National Cemetery. �Nationally,� he said, �VA continues to expand
its investment in renewable sources of energy to promote our
nation�s energy independence, save taxpayer dollars, and improve
care for our veterans and their families.
  
 VA facilities have become littered with every scheme to banish
carbon dioxide short of requiring visitors to hold their breath.
Calverton National Cemetery spent $742,034 on solar panels. Fort
Rosecrans National Cemetery spent $787,308. Not to be out-greened,
the Riverside National Cemetery spent $1.3 million on its solar
system.
  
 At the Phoenix VA Health Care System, where 20 Americans died from
incompetence and cover-up, the department spent $20 million putting
solar panels on the hospital roofs. That would have been more than
enough money to provide the veterans with the health care they deserved.
  
 Some administrators won�t be satisfied until every federal building
bears a green stamp. In military parlance, the VA is practicing
�mission creep,� the expansion of a project well beyond its intended
goals. While the rest of the government continues to waste taxpayer
funds trying to become carbon-dioxide neutral, the VA should be
spending every available dollar to relieve pain, cure the sick and
restore the deserving to health. That�s more important than any fad,
environmental or otherwise.
