‘THE BOTTOM LINE’:
Will the western range and
property wars between the Ranchers in Nevada and Oregon and the Federal BLM be
the excuse that Obama is looking for to sanction the Jade
Helm 15 “Martial Law” in America or at least in the West?
A little lesson in the Constitution regarding property:
The little known 9th
and 10th Amendments to the US Constitution are totally ignored, not
only by the Federal Government but ignorantly and more importantly - they are
ignored by the people.
These two Amendments are
not technically part of the citizen’s Bill of Rights as much as they are for
the purpose of putting the Federal Government on notice as to what the extent
of the general rights of the citizens are and what the specific right and place
of the Federal Government is’.
(The 9th Amendment)
“The enumeration in the Constitution, of
certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by
the people.”
It is saying that the eight rights in the bill of rights aren’t
the only rights the citizens have.
(The 10th
Amendment)
“The powers not delegated to the
United States [Federal Government] by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it
to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
As a matter of Constitutional law, The Federal Government has
only the rights specifically spelled out in the body of the constitution. The people have all the rest of the rights in America
unless they delegate them to their respective states.
Now on that note: I would simply challenge anyone to show me
- where in the constitution it says the federal government has Carte blanche ownership and control of a third of the state land in the
United States.
The truth is
that the Founders and architects of the U.S. Constitution allowed very little property
to be owned by the Federal Government:
With the power of
private property firmly in mind, the Founders clearly set forth necessary limitations in the Constitution so that the Federal
Central Government would not accumulate much property of its own. The thought (as in the 10th Amendment) was to leave it to the people who will
use, care for, develop, subdue, and gain dominion over it in a manner which
will bless the lives of all the people in the many states and lead to greater
and greater permanent prosperity.
There were, however, a few reasons
to have the Federal Government own a limited amount of property As you will soon see: for a seat of government, for military
uses, and for needful buildings. Later there was the National Park System.This is the very limited power given to
Congress regarding American land, in the Constitution:
Here is the law: (Art I, Sect. 8, and Clause
17) of the U.S. Constitution.
"To exercise
exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such district (not
exceeding ten miles square) as may, by cession of particular states, and the
acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the government of the United States,
and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the
legislature of the state in which the same shall be for the erection of forts,
magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings"
So
to answer the question: Is the existence of the Federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM),
even constitutionally legal?
A big red NO ‘, my constitutionally challenged friend!
Below is a map of the lower 48 states as
well as inserts of Alaska and Hawaii, and unless one is totally color blind one
can easily see what the Federal Government illegally owns. It’s all the land in RED my friend.
Nearly the entire Western United States
is illegally and unconstitutionally owned and occupied by the Federal Government and controlled
by the BLM.
As one can easily see, the Federal Government illegally owns
and controls more than 90 percent of the state of Nevada, more than 65 percent of
the state of Oregon, 80 percent of the state of Utah, and so on! The anti-constitutional criminal oppressive
Federal Government illegally owns, and controls approximately a third of the
land in the continental United States.
The following are Excerpts
taken from a Los Angeles Times article:
“Although there have been no real violence or
threats so far in Nevada or Oregon, the risk is real. Federal employees and
citizens in Nevada have been attacked in the past over land-use disputes — shot
at, their offices and cars bombed.
The hills of northern Nevada have long seethed
with discontent against the federal government. In the 1970s, local ranchers
helped launch the Sagebrush Rebellion, a rural revolt that lasted, in various
iterations, for decades as ranchers and lawmakers bucked new federal laws
concerning the use of public lands, demanding more local control.
Smith recalls how Carver used to carry
miniature copies of the Constitution in his pocket, just like some of the
ranchers holed up in Oregon do, expounding on state's rights.
Smith, 65, graduated from the University of
Nevada in Reno and joined the BLM in a succession of rural outposts —
Winnemucca, Ely and finally Battle Mountain, where he was district manager for
15 years.
"I spent the first year I was in Battle
Mountain going to meetings with them. We were trying to get them in a peaceful
resolution to pay their fees and get their permits and continue ranching. There's a small percentage of ranchers that
can't stand being told what to do," Smith said.
"Everybody felt a little more empowered
when the BLM didn't impound Cliven Bundy," Smith
said.” END.
THE
BOTTOM LINE: “There's
a small percentage of ranchers that can't stand being told what to do," Said Smith
of the BLM.
The audacity of Smith, who the bloody h--- does he think he is? This
is not Nazi Germany nor Communist Russia, not yet’ anyway. I treat my dog with more respect…
How is this happening??? Well…wake up!
I am going to rant now…
‘YOU’ THE PEOPLE’ have been asleep at the helm’, my friends, you should be ashamed. And
pardon me all to heck if I don’t include myself in the ‘We
the People’ in this regard, because I have been fighting for your bloody
constitutional freedoms and your right to be apathetic and irresponsible for longer
than most of you have been alive. So I’ the
people, haven’t been asleep…
I can guaran’bloody’tee you, it is still, and will be, the
Constitutional Republic of America as long as I am alive. After I’m dead you can do what you want.
How about You! Why don’t you ‘do your job’ for the sake of your kids if not for yourself, do something
independent for your country for a change, get up off of your couch potato, and
put your constitution on, write your representatives and tell them ‘respectfully’
to obey the Law, and turn state land over to the States where it legally
belongs. You can do that
right here… That is if you can lift
your lazy finger high enough to click your mouse.
If you
guessed that I am angry, you would be right.
Let’s all
get angry together and do something…
Thanks for
