To Get Out of the Mess...
The only way for people to be free of the 'game' is to be self-reliant. Once we re-learn how to be self-reliant, we are no longer dependent on any of the game-players for our 'politics', food, 'money',or anything else. Being self-reliant takes away the self-imposed control by those who clearly do not have our best interest at heart.
Boycotting one faction on a multi-tentacled monster is not going to seriously slow the action down. They've got their bases covered. Forming a political alliance plays into their game, just as a consumer alliance would also, simply because these control networks go far deeper than most suspect. For example, let's say you buy Stonefield youghurt- it's organic, etc- well, it's owned by Dannon, who has ties with Lever, who has ties with Pepsico, who is in cahoots with Coca-Cola under World Beverage Partners...Each company has lists of hundreds of subsidiaries- they aren't competitors; they are all joined at the hip.
The way to NOT support them is to make your own, or find someone who can/does & trade for something you can do/make.
Or say, 7th Generation- green products, right? Nay. They BUY their products from a variety of "unknown" sources & slap their label on them.
Most of these mega corps have the same directors on several boards of several other corporations. Take UPS. Not just a shipping company, but they have connections to GM, Coca-Cola, etc., etc.;they own communications,finance,& conglomerate of other non-shipping companies. Same with Coca-Cola;owns water bottling companies, has hands in utilities, manufacturers, clothing, personal goods, name it. ALL have someone with some political position. Even though most of their company headquarters are no longer in the US; they have heavy foreign ties (and most are NOT US companies any longer).It isn't about greed; it's about control.
If you don't want someone controlling you, you have to do things for yourself ie.self-reliance Start w/family, then neighborhood, then community, etc. Keyword:network
Everybody knows how to do something, and that something can be traded/exchanged to achieve self-reliance. Without support,the big guns cannot control.
Stop using/giving them money, stop using their 'network', stop using their products, etc. It may take time to get your/our thing going, but not too long- after all, there are things essential to living, and necessity is the mother of invention.
We've managed before;we can manage again. Only THIS time, govern our/yourselves.That is what our Founding Documents give us the right to do. Uphold that right by DOING it, instead of handing over that job to others who do NOT have your/our best interests at heart. If every nation did that, we'd have a great place because we'd finally experience freedom.
America is the place to get that ball rolling- and it CAN be done. Self-reliance is the foundation of freedom. If you want a free country, become self-reliant. Stop waiting for a saviour to fix the problems. We (as a country) created the problem by giving up our self-reliance. We trusted others to handle things for us. That trust was misplaced. We're the only ones who will/can fix that.

Rather long post, but hopefully you will read it anyway...
It is interesting how others give people far more attention if it is presumed that they agreed with one's religious (or other) beliefs than those whom are opined to not.
Allow clarification of something. A person called in to a radio program that aired on the internet last night. The program was concerning a meeting to be held in Denver last evening by 100 Illuminati bankers. The one who called in was decidedly 'Christian' and had also had esoteric training in their younger days. This person seemed to be very much aware of the energies involved by those who are involved in 'the arts'. This person suggested that they look elsewhere, to places of concentrated energy- power points- if they wished to disrupt the ritual meeting. The suggestion was only considered briefly by one of the hosts of the program. The Guest Speaker, a presumed authority on the Illuminati, dispelled the suggestion out of hand, convinced that the members of this elite group would Only meet at the Navarre.
The hosts, along with other guest callers, were of the opinion that enlisting the aid of law enforcement would resolve the issue of the nefarious deeds purportedly done at these rituals of the Illuminati.
It is rather naive to think that filing reports with law enforcement would serve the people, since most agencies are 'bought out', and/or controlled by those whom believe they are in power. How do you think they get away with as much as they do?
The power-players, the Illuminati, were holding a ritual last evening and this is post is in regard to that situation, and written with a deliberate 'Christian' slant, in hopes that those so inclined will comprehend what is written 'on their terms', as it were.
To dismiss the idea that these people would meet anywhere but where you believe they would meet is to discredit their ability. These rituals are, in fact, normally held outside in select 'power points', and those that wish to 'catch' these people are often deliberately misled to think their meetings are held elsewhere. ie. at an inside venue.
Not one person called in to the internet radio program (which lasted 6 hrs.) who could say they had verified the stance that these members were, in fact, holding their ritual at the Navarre. Had the hosts and guest speaker of the program been better connected to arrange for someone to be at Red Rocks, or some other known 'power points', however, they may have been able to actually interrupt their meeting. Instead, the guest speaker of the program overall dismissed the idea because he was positive that he was right in his assumption. Did he actually think these members would put themselves in a position that would allow for interruption? People who practice the Dark Arts, those having 'connections' to 'Satan', are not going to be where you assume; they are going to be in a far more protected environment.
They were 'set up' to go chasing a red herring.
God's energy- positively used, is far more effective in disrupting and exposing these people. This positive energy is many times more powerful than what these people can muster- and they can muster energy that is quite capable of destroying those who have no understanding. This guest speaker alluded to an experience where he relied upon God's protection from these diabolical Illuminati members, and dispelled them, so he familiar with that energy.
Those that practice Satanism are quite adept at manipulating negative energy to obtain their desired ends. Their history is quite telling of how well they do what they do. If one is seeking solutions to break their power, one must also know how to 'work' energy...
Having the belief in God will protect one, albeit it will not 'give' one the means to end the nightmare;it just allays their energy; pushes it temporarily away. Clearly, the desired result is to permanently address it, instead of temporarily dispelling it.
If one wish to "get these s.o.b's", one must know how to. To ignore this is equivalent of getting into a car without any knowledge and managing to turn it on, and put it into drive mode without knowing how to utilize the steering wheel or brakes. God can protect you, however it is up to You as to where the car is driven and how it is physically steered and controlled.
Having God's protection is obviously good, yet it has not stopped these nefarious doings of these negatively inclined beings in thousands of years. God has even given us 'tools', as it were, to stop them, enabling us to get things back into 'balance'. Yet, most people remain blinded to these gifts of God. Most choose to think/believe that if our faith is strong, God will somehow rescue us. We forget that we were given gifts from God, and that these gifts were to be used to maintain a balance of energy so Life could thrive. They can be used to combat these negatively bent beings, just as the Illuminati use them to control and diffuse positive energy. We are the children of God, and inherently have the skill and knowledge to conquer such evil...even if we do not yet Know we hold such power, and even if we have no skill in Using this power- we still have it, and it is up to us, as individuals, to become adept in wielding the 'swords' we were given, and learning to wield them collectively. God works through us on this physical plane.
Just as our biological parent's traits are present in our physical bodies, . This is what God meant that even the evil-doers have their place. Once it changes to all positive, peace is obtained simply because the lack of negative puts the Whole at rest (this is what peace means, literally). The Flow of energy becomes seemingly 'non-existent' when it is at rest(although the energy itself is still there;it just is not Moving). The Flow of energy is what Life is.
Live/evil are two sides of the same coin; look at the two words- it is a mirror 'image'. Consider that carefully. WE are created in the image of God.
Some choose to utilize the negative, which allows for a current of life- even though it Appears that there is no rightful place for them; others choose to be positive reflections of God. Once we All choose to be positive, or are 'brought into the Light', as it were, the current ceases to Flow- All becomes Light- All becomes 'at rest', at peace. All becomes One (again). The current of Life ceases to seemingly 'exist' at that point. Do NOT mistake that as justification for ill deeds.
There is nothing posted here that condones evil-doing in any way.
We All have this current of energy- the negative and the positive. It is how we cultivate each of these energies that matter. If we choose to live in the Light, we cultivate the positive; it does not rid us of the negative energy that is inherent in us, but rather enhances the positive. The same holds true of those who cultivate the negative; it does not rid them of the positive energy they hold. Both are necessary in order To live.
It is our conscious- and more often than not, our unconscious- choices we make that enhances one or the other. This is where free will enters the picture.
Words have incredible power- they are comprised of letters. Each letter has a 'consciousness' of its own, unbeknownst to most today. Knowledge of this was the reason certain people became powerful, and others (most, in fact) did not. Early writing was often in symbols (which is what all letters are actually). This is why is was so easy for the pve.

This is why is was so easy for the powerful to control the masses (and that holds true today, as well). This is why select few became Kings or religious leaders, etc. Withholding kgly defenseless- however, they Do have that power- and are actually More in touch with these energies than we acknowledge- We have been led to believe- by those who wish to control us- that children and infants are ignorant and defenseless, when in fact they are very 'tuned in' to God's energies, both positive and negative. And they respond more openly to both energies, because in their youth, their infancy, they are in a more neutral state. This is why they can be 'taken advantage of' more easily. (It is too bad someone doesn't record infants- their garbling babble is actually a language, although we do not acknowledge that. We, instead, teach them our learned language).
This 'innocent' state is what these negatively prone people utilize in their rituals- they Use the 'neutral' energy, and manipulate it to their own purposes. Not saying that what they do is good- it is not. Not saying that their use (by sacrificing) is something we need to accept, but rather something we need to comprehend for what it is- it is manipulation of neutral energy for negative purposes. What is apparent is that these negatively bent people are Using that neutral state of energy to enhance their negatively charged energy. To them it is Needed energy, which allows them to 'justify' what they do; to us, it is abhorrent that anyone would harm a child for any reason.
Understand that it is the manipulation of energies that is their key. If one wishes to end their revolting ways, one must become adept. Not just protected. The knowledge is within you. It is within all of us. There are some who are more aware of that, and some who even can assist instructing others in how to use their energies.
Remember...we are All created by the same God, including Satan. Satan's name- Lucifer means 'bringer of Light'; He wanted to bring the Light to us 'non-thinking' entities/creations of God, and God did not want that to happen. One asks why? Why would God be opposed to us having knowledge? Here God creates beings in his image, places us in a Garden of Paradise, instructs us as to what we can and cannot do, and leaves. For what purpose does He do this? God, who is All-Knowing, tells us Not to eat the fruit of these two trees 'lest you die'- yet, all the while Knowing that given the information that we won't,in fact, die, we will partake.(How many parents have told their offspring Not to do something, and the first thing the kid does is exactly what he was told Not to do...hmmm). So along comes one of his angels, informs us that we won't die, so we eat the fruit, and find it good...our eyes are opened, we partook of knowledge. But we didn't eat of the second tree(of Immortality. Meanwhile, God returns, finds out we've eaten the fruit of Knowledge, has a fit, rips up the lease, casts the angel to the ground as well as throwing us out, making us Labour(work at figuring out how to use the knowledge), and conceals the Tree of Immortality to prevent us from also eating its fruit and living forever...'lest they become as Us'; hence the alleged derision- the good/bad, etc. For if we had partaken also of the tree of Immortality, coupled with Knowledge (Light), we would be as Gods. It was like giving an infant a loaded gun- without instructions on how to use the gun(the knowledge, as it were). 'For I Am a jealous God'...heaven forbid that we should hold as much power, and be immortal, as our Creator! Yet we Do have the Knowledge- un-consciously(we use less than 10% of our brain, so it is unconscious knowledge), we Do have the knowledge(we just do not have the immortality). What we Think, and Say becomes Reality.(As Above, so Below;God is all One). Now, are these divisions 'real'? How does one separate One? The separation is merely a veil. As we learn to utilize our Knowledge, the veil dissipates. There is no separation because God is All. And he's annoyed with part of himself(God is One)/His creation(angels...particularly, Satan
a.k.a Lucifer) for giving us the option of deciding to eat of the Tree of Knowledge and Not instructing us of how to utilize it to make sure everything stays 'good'/God. He 'punishes' us by making us leave said garden; He punishes Lucifer, but turning him into a creature that eats dusts and crawls around on his belly (remember, Medicine was instructed by said creature to man...instruction given to man by God, who has apparently taken on a shape of a creature that can move on this plane).
In order to Use the knowledge, we would have to be instructed in how to manage positive and negative energy flows; we'd have the same skills as our Creator. Remember, He is our One God;we can't be having the same power, now can we?He's a jealous God- He wants control of His creation.
But now We have knowledge...so He gives us Free Will. He figures we'll eventually figure out that unless we give up our Free Will willingly(to Him), he'll keep concealing the Tree of Immortality. He promises us we can have it...once we commit to His Will.
At he same time, he knows All is One, so we have the capability to figure out how to use the Knowledge (if we ever stop messing around and apply ourselves). Not to mention, He is All-knowing, so He already knows where all this is going, and what the outcome will be. We have access to Infinite Knowledge in Finite time, as His children. If we want Infinite Knowledge in Infinite Time, we either turn our Free Will over to Him, or figure it out. (Being All Knowing, God figures it may be best for us to learn to manage the energies by practical, hands-on experience vs. Him telling us. Maybe we'll retain the lesson better via trial and error...).
Once we figure out how to manage the energy flow (positive and negative thought, emotion, deed), then we'd figure out where the Tree of Immortality is on our own(which we could do if we stopped messing around creating things that we have no understanding of how they work or the implication of said creations). God already knows that a certain amount of negative energy will be 'used' in the 'end times'(He tells us that even the negative has its uses); all of it gets used/transformed, and then there is 'peace'. Peace means to be at rest. The motion stops.
The energy itself is eternal (which is a 'clue' re: the whole Immortality thing);it just isn't moving/flowing. In order to be on This plane, it has to flow, hence the tidbit of being raised up/lifted to another level/plane. When this occurs is when the negative energy is kaput/put on hold, perhaps until another time when Motion is desired again by God/the One/All.
Now remember, all this was set in Motion by choice (the angel to point out that we wouldn't die by eating of the fruit, and ours by choosing to partake of the fruit). The motion = Life. It is the positive and negative energy Flow.
Clearly, if we wish to have a harmonious world, filled with Love, we need to know What we are creating, and exactly How we are creating, and the end result of our creation. Once we turn ourselves over to God's will, we relinquish our own free will- it becomes One again. Motionless, but One. It is not required that we do this; we can just as well figure it all out on our own and keep our free will (which, if one looks around, we can see how good a job we've done thus far...).
It is the power of Mind- thoughts, words and consequent actions- that is creating what we experience on the most minute to the most grandoise level. Yet, we run around thinking and saying all manner of negative things, creating ever more negativity. We 'entertain' ourselves with an overload of negatively charged 'stuff' (news, movies, books, etc., including people), and then cannot conceive why on earth we experience so much horribleness everywhere.
Hello! WE're creating it! WE're feeding the negative energy constantly. We're cussing out the 'bad' guys, we're watching violence, we're reporting disasters, we're constantly feeding this negative energy- multiplying it exponentially! All the while grieving at what horribleness surrounds us- which creates even More of the same!
Get a grip. God does Not want us to suffer this. We don't want to suffer this. We don't want others to suffer this. Yet we have Not realized that the Tool to create our reality lies with Us.
If we want it to stop, we must cease to do what we have been doing. If we want to end these horrible deeds the Illuminati and others of a negative and controlling bent do, we CAN do it BY acknowledging our own power, by learning to direct our thoughts and words and deeds- our energies. By abstaining from negatively charged words, images, deeds we enhance the positive and the neutral energies. By learning the meanings/intent of the letters/symbols we can direct positive energy.
So when you say,"we're gonna get those s.o.b's...". you are acknowledging the negative energies that they control(they Have taken the time to learn to control those energies!)- You are Feeding into that negative energy. You are also acting as if God had not created those people, as if they are separate from you;Non-God/not good...they are the Same as you(be they angels or whatever- it is All God/All One), they have just chosen to utilize the negative energy, just as you have chosen to use the positive. But remember...GOD CREATED ALL. There is no division, save what division WE choose to create. In order to stop them from doing their evil things, You must put All your thoughts, all your emotions, all your deeds all your Imaging into the positive. No separating, but instead acknowledging that ALL comes from God- we cannot 'fall' from Grace because we Are AS God- It is All One/All God. We have been given the knowledge- we just have not used it well. We have not even Remembered How to use it.
We Have the knowledge; it is within us. We are God's children. We inherently Know. We inherently Have the qualities of our Creator Because we are God's children. It is, therefore, critical that we learn to master our gifts, if we wish to bring things around to a more positive loving 'balance'.
ge to handle the knowledge, we will remain in the state we are in, for better or worse. The choice is ours; That is why we were granted free will.
We could be healing, loving, changing harmful substances to something Life-giving and Holy (all that can be done via Mind-thought, words, and deeds and images). We could be ceasing all negative activity, correcting the polar alignment, putting all things back into a state of balance by learning to utilize our power over energy.WE affect the whole. Yes, the entire Universe and beyond (pretty cool really, if we handle it properly).
We have, at least for the moment, chosen to dwell on the negative, and continue to feed it instead. We are not weak. We ARE children of God. We are the physical manifestation of All. We must learn to accept our responsibility. We are all part of God's physical body on this plane. We Can do miraculous things, if only we realize the truth of that statement.
We were brought the choice to partake of knowledge- by an angel of God- and we made that choice, not knowing the full implications of our choice. Chaos resulted from our ignorance; massive amounts of people throughout the ages has suffered enormously, and all because we Keep excusing ourselves from our responsibility. If you are going to hold a gun, you had better know how to use it. We are holding that gun, and still refusing to learn how to use it.
You may condemn those for having participated in a coven- you may act as if they separate from you- not Godly from your perspective. However, they learned to understand symbols/letters, and learned about the energies, and how to utilize them for Good. They do not teach these things in public school (in fact, they teach people to submit to those in p0to reconsider, and open your mind enough to realize that there may be some who know a bit about what they are talking about. The guest speaker of the radio program was quite polite to those whom he assumed had a 'Christian' bent, even thanking them for calling in. With the one who mentioned the power points, and that this person had participated in an esoteric ritual years before however, he cut off, insisting he "knew" where the Illuminati were going to meet- yet no one during that 6 hr. broadcast was able to substantiate or verify what that speaker insisted as being the 'only' place they would meet. Perhaps the person who suggested looking at power places was simply trying to assist by informing them that the Navarre was a means to throw a red herring. There are several tunnels, allowing variables- and the members would go to a 'power point' for their ritual. Red Rocks is such a place, and has been used as such for centuries. There are many such power places. People all over the world have awareness of such places exisitng. Mid-summer's Eve, and it's compliment in December are most often ritualized outside, as it enhances the energy.
It is hoped that next time the nay-sayers pay attention, and are able to free themselves of assumptions.
And perhaps, they may even be polite enough to at least say 'thank you for calling', instead of cutting someone off since they felt what the person had to say held no merit because that person participated in an event of esoteric nature(which may have been concerning POSITIVE energy) many years ago. It was noticed that that particular speaker did not do that to anyone else who called in, and the presumed 'non-Christian' call was far briefer than most.
God Bless.
It is hoped you glean something of import from this post, or at least take the time to fully consider its content. Also, be mindful that God has instructed us that 'judgement' is not ours(we are not wise enough to hold that duty), and to not judge others takes practice.
Please remember that we can certainly end the atrocities by Not feeding into their energy, their 'money', their products, their 'programming', etc. Without our energy to feed upon, they cannot continue. It breaks the cycle of division, and we can begin repairing our mess.
Those whom we have put into positions of power (not just in our time frame, but over the centuries) thrive only because we buy their products, use their money, allow ourselves to be programmed by them, and we have no idea of how to manage the gifts we inherently hold. The key to freedom and harmony is self-reliance(learn to create what we need Without causing harm) and learning to utilize our God-given gifts. The key to living in 'balance' is to be aware that God is One, and we, as children of God, are endowed with those gifts.

PS: To those not inclined to view Life through the 'Christian' lens, you can substitute what ever name you choose for God...ie. Universal Energy, Allah, Krishna, whom or whatever... the point of this dissertation remains the same.
Allow clarification of something. A person called in to a radio program that aired on the internet last night. The program was concerning a meeting to be held in Denver last evening by 100 Illuminati bankers. The one who called in was decidedly 'Christian' and had also had esoteric training in their younger days. This person seemed to be very much aware of the energies involved by those who are involved in 'the arts'. This person suggested that they look elsewhere, to places of concentrated energy- power points- if they wished to disrupt the ritual meeting. The suggestion was only considered briefly by one of the hosts of the program. The Guest Speaker, a presumed authority on the Illuminati, dispelled the suggestion out of hand, convinced that the members of this elite group would Only meet at the Navarre.
The hosts, along with other guest callers, were of the opinion that enlisting the aid of law enforcement would resolve the issue of the nefarious deeds purportedly done at these rituals of the Illuminati.
It is rather naive to think that filing reports with law enforcement would serve the people, since most agencies are 'bought out', and/or controlled by those whom believe they are in power. How do you think they get away with as much as they do?
The power-players, the Illuminati, were holding a ritual last evening and this is post is in regard to that situation, and written with a deliberate 'Christian' slant, in hopes that those so inclined will comprehend what is written 'on their terms', as it were.
To dismiss the idea that these people would meet anywhere but where you believe they would meet is to discredit their ability. These rituals are, in fact, normally held outside in select 'power points', and those that wish to 'catch' these people are often deliberately misled to think their meetings are held elsewhere. ie. at an inside venue.
Not one person called in to the internet radio program (which lasted 6 hrs.) who could say they had verified the stance that these members were, in fact, holding their ritual at the Navarre. Had the hosts and guest speaker of the program been better connected to arrange for someone to be at Red Rocks, or some other known 'power points', however, they may have been able to actually interrupt their meeting. Instead, the guest speaker of the program overall dismissed the idea because he was positive that he was right in his assumption. Did he actually think these members would put themselves in a position that would allow for interruption? People who practice the Dark Arts, those having 'connections' to 'Satan', are not going to be where you assume; they are going to be in a far more protected environment.
They were 'set up' to go chasing a red herring.
God's energy- positively used, is far more effective in disrupting and exposing these people. This positive energy is many times more powerful than what these people can muster- and they can muster energy that is quite capable of destroying those who have no understanding. This guest speaker alluded to an experience where he relied upon God's protection from these diabolical Illuminati members, and dispelled them, so he familiar with that energy.
Those that practice Satanism are quite adept at manipulating negative energy to obtain their desired ends. Their history is quite telling of how well they do what they do. If one is seeking solutions to break their power, one must also know how to 'work' energy...
Having the belief in God will protect one, albeit it will not 'give' one the means to end the nightmare;it just allays their energy; pushes it temporarily away. Clearly, the desired result is to permanently address it, instead of temporarily dispelling it.
If one wish to "get these s.o.b's", one must know how to. To ignore this is equivalent of getting into a car without any knowledge and managing to turn it on, and put it into drive mode without knowing how to utilize the steering wheel or brakes. God can protect you, however it is up to You as to where the car is driven and how it is physically steered and controlled.
Having God's protection is obviously good, yet it has not stopped these nefarious doings of these negatively inclined beings in thousands of years. God has even given us 'tools', as it were, to stop them, enabling us to get things back into 'balance'. Yet, most people remain blinded to these gifts of God. Most choose to think/believe that if our faith is strong, God will somehow rescue us. We forget that we were given gifts from God, and that these gifts were to be used to maintain a balance of energy so Life could thrive. They can be used to combat these negatively bent beings, just as the Illuminati use them to control and diffuse positive energy. We are the children of God, and inherently have the skill and knowledge to conquer such evil...even if we do not yet Know we hold such power, and even if we have no skill in Using this power- we still have it, and it is up to us, as individuals, to become adept in wielding the 'swords' we were given, and learning to wield them collectively. God works through us on this physical plane.
Just as our biological parent's traits are present in our physical bodies, . This is what God meant that even the evil-doers have their place. Once it changes to all positive, peace is obtained simply because the lack of negative puts the Whole at rest (this is what peace means, literally). The Flow of energy becomes seemingly 'non-existent' when it is at rest(although the energy itself is still there;it just is not Moving). The Flow of energy is what Life is.
Live/evil are two sides of the same coin; look at the two words- it is a mirror 'image'. Consider that carefully. WE are created in the image of God.
Some choose to utilize the negative, which allows for a current of life- even though it Appears that there is no rightful place for them; others choose to be positive reflections of God. Once we All choose to be positive, or are 'brought into the Light', as it were, the current ceases to Flow- All becomes Light- All becomes 'at rest', at peace. All becomes One (again). The current of Life ceases to seemingly 'exist' at that point. Do NOT mistake that as justification for ill deeds.
There is nothing posted here that condones evil-doing in any way.
We All have this current of energy- the negative and the positive. It is how we cultivate each of these energies that matter. If we choose to live in the Light, we cultivate the positive; it does not rid us of the negative energy that is inherent in us, but rather enhances the positive. The same holds true of those who cultivate the negative; it does not rid them of the positive energy they hold. Both are necessary in order To live.
It is our conscious- and more often than not, our unconscious- choices we make that enhances one or the other. This is where free will enters the picture.
Words have incredible power- they are comprised of letters. Each letter has a 'consciousness' of its own, unbeknownst to most today. Knowledge of this was the reason certain people became powerful, and others (most, in fact) did not. Early writing was often in symbols (which is what all letters are actually). This is why is was so easy for the pve.

This is why is was so easy for the powerful to control the masses (and that holds true today, as well). This is why select few became Kings or religious leaders, etc. Withholding kgly defenseless- however, they Do have that power- and are actually More in touch with these energies than we acknowledge- We have been led to believe- by those who wish to control us- that children and infants are ignorant and defenseless, when in fact they are very 'tuned in' to God's energies, both positive and negative. And they respond more openly to both energies, because in their youth, their infancy, they are in a more neutral state. This is why they can be 'taken advantage of' more easily. (It is too bad someone doesn't record infants- their garbling babble is actually a language, although we do not acknowledge that. We, instead, teach them our learned language).
This 'innocent' state is what these negatively prone people utilize in their rituals- they Use the 'neutral' energy, and manipulate it to their own purposes. Not saying that what they do is good- it is not. Not saying that their use (by sacrificing) is something we need to accept, but rather something we need to comprehend for what it is- it is manipulation of neutral energy for negative purposes. What is apparent is that these negatively bent people are Using that neutral state of energy to enhance their negatively charged energy. To them it is Needed energy, which allows them to 'justify' what they do; to us, it is abhorrent that anyone would harm a child for any reason.
Understand that it is the manipulation of energies that is their key. If one wishes to end their revolting ways, one must become adept. Not just protected. The knowledge is within you. It is within all of us. There are some who are more aware of that, and some who even can assist instructing others in how to use their energies.
Remember...we are All created by the same God, including Satan. Satan's name- Lucifer means 'bringer of Light'; He wanted to bring the Light to us 'non-thinking' entities/creations of God, and God did not want that to happen. One asks why? Why would God be opposed to us having knowledge? Here God creates beings in his image, places us in a Garden of Paradise, instructs us as to what we can and cannot do, and leaves. For what purpose does He do this? God, who is All-Knowing, tells us Not to eat the fruit of these two trees 'lest you die'- yet, all the while Knowing that given the information that we won't,in fact, die, we will partake.(How many parents have told their offspring Not to do something, and the first thing the kid does is exactly what he was told Not to do...hmmm). So along comes one of his angels, informs us that we won't die, so we eat the fruit, and find it good...our eyes are opened, we partook of knowledge. But we didn't eat of the second tree(of Immortality. Meanwhile, God returns, finds out we've eaten the fruit of Knowledge, has a fit, rips up the lease, casts the angel to the ground as well as throwing us out, making us Labour(work at figuring out how to use the knowledge), and conceals the Tree of Immortality to prevent us from also eating its fruit and living forever...'lest they become as Us'; hence the alleged derision- the good/bad, etc. For if we had partaken also of the tree of Immortality, coupled with Knowledge (Light), we would be as Gods. It was like giving an infant a loaded gun- without instructions on how to use the gun(the knowledge, as it were). 'For I Am a jealous God'...heaven forbid that we should hold as much power, and be immortal, as our Creator! Yet we Do have the Knowledge- un-consciously(we use less than 10% of our brain, so it is unconscious knowledge), we Do have the knowledge(we just do not have the immortality). What we Think, and Say becomes Reality.(As Above, so Below;God is all One). Now, are these divisions 'real'? How does one separate One? The separation is merely a veil. As we learn to utilize our Knowledge, the veil dissipates. There is no separation because God is All. And he's annoyed with part of himself(God is One)/His creation(angels...particularly, Satan
a.k.a Lucifer) for giving us the option of deciding to eat of the Tree of Knowledge and Not instructing us of how to utilize it to make sure everything stays 'good'/God. He 'punishes' us by making us leave said garden; He punishes Lucifer, but turning him into a creature that eats dusts and crawls around on his belly (remember, Medicine was instructed by said creature to man...instruction given to man by God, who has apparently taken on a shape of a creature that can move on this plane).
In order to Use the knowledge, we would have to be instructed in how to manage positive and negative energy flows; we'd have the same skills as our Creator. Remember, He is our One God;we can't be having the same power, now can we?He's a jealous God- He wants control of His creation.
But now We have knowledge...so He gives us Free Will. He figures we'll eventually figure out that unless we give up our Free Will willingly(to Him), he'll keep concealing the Tree of Immortality. He promises us we can have it...once we commit to His Will.
At he same time, he knows All is One, so we have the capability to figure out how to use the Knowledge (if we ever stop messing around and apply ourselves). Not to mention, He is All-knowing, so He already knows where all this is going, and what the outcome will be. We have access to Infinite Knowledge in Finite time, as His children. If we want Infinite Knowledge in Infinite Time, we either turn our Free Will over to Him, or figure it out. (Being All Knowing, God figures it may be best for us to learn to manage the energies by practical, hands-on experience vs. Him telling us. Maybe we'll retain the lesson better via trial and error...).
Once we figure out how to manage the energy flow (positive and negative thought, emotion, deed), then we'd figure out where the Tree of Immortality is on our own(which we could do if we stopped messing around creating things that we have no understanding of how they work or the implication of said creations). God already knows that a certain amount of negative energy will be 'used' in the 'end times'(He tells us that even the negative has its uses); all of it gets used/transformed, and then there is 'peace'. Peace means to be at rest. The motion stops.
The energy itself is eternal (which is a 'clue' re: the whole Immortality thing);it just isn't moving/flowing. In order to be on This plane, it has to flow, hence the tidbit of being raised up/lifted to another level/plane. When this occurs is when the negative energy is kaput/put on hold, perhaps until another time when Motion is desired again by God/the One/All.
Now remember, all this was set in Motion by choice (the angel to point out that we wouldn't die by eating of the fruit, and ours by choosing to partake of the fruit). The motion = Life. It is the positive and negative energy Flow.
Clearly, if we wish to have a harmonious world, filled with Love, we need to know What we are creating, and exactly How we are creating, and the end result of our creation. Once we turn ourselves over to God's will, we relinquish our own free will- it becomes One again. Motionless, but One. It is not required that we do this; we can just as well figure it all out on our own and keep our free will (which, if one looks around, we can see how good a job we've done thus far...).
It is the power of Mind- thoughts, words and consequent actions- that is creating what we experience on the most minute to the most grandoise level. Yet, we run around thinking and saying all manner of negative things, creating ever more negativity. We 'entertain' ourselves with an overload of negatively charged 'stuff' (news, movies, books, etc., including people), and then cannot conceive why on earth we experience so much horribleness everywhere.
Hello! WE're creating it! WE're feeding the negative energy constantly. We're cussing out the 'bad' guys, we're watching violence, we're reporting disasters, we're constantly feeding this negative energy- multiplying it exponentially! All the while grieving at what horribleness surrounds us- which creates even More of the same!
Get a grip. God does Not want us to suffer this. We don't want to suffer this. We don't want others to suffer this. Yet we have Not realized that the Tool to create our reality lies with Us.
If we want it to stop, we must cease to do what we have been doing. If we want to end these horrible deeds the Illuminati and others of a negative and controlling bent do, we CAN do it BY acknowledging our own power, by learning to direct our thoughts and words and deeds- our energies. By abstaining from negatively charged words, images, deeds we enhance the positive and the neutral energies. By learning the meanings/intent of the letters/symbols we can direct positive energy.
So when you say,"we're gonna get those s.o.b's...". you are acknowledging the negative energies that they control(they Have taken the time to learn to control those energies!)- You are Feeding into that negative energy. You are also acting as if God had not created those people, as if they are separate from you;Non-God/not good...they are the Same as you(be they angels or whatever- it is All God/All One), they have just chosen to utilize the negative energy, just as you have chosen to use the positive. But remember...GOD CREATED ALL. There is no division, save what division WE choose to create. In order to stop them from doing their evil things, You must put All your thoughts, all your emotions, all your deeds all your Imaging into the positive. No separating, but instead acknowledging that ALL comes from God- we cannot 'fall' from Grace because we Are AS God- It is All One/All God. We have been given the knowledge- we just have not used it well. We have not even Remembered How to use it.
We Have the knowledge; it is within us. We are God's children. We inherently Know. We inherently Have the qualities of our Creator Because we are God's children. It is, therefore, critical that we learn to master our gifts, if we wish to bring things around to a more positive loving 'balance'.
ge to handle the knowledge, we will remain in the state we are in, for better or worse. The choice is ours; That is why we were granted free will.
We could be healing, loving, changing harmful substances to something Life-giving and Holy (all that can be done via Mind-thought, words, and deeds and images). We could be ceasing all negative activity, correcting the polar alignment, putting all things back into a state of balance by learning to utilize our power over energy.WE affect the whole. Yes, the entire Universe and beyond (pretty cool really, if we handle it properly).
We have, at least for the moment, chosen to dwell on the negative, and continue to feed it instead. We are not weak. We ARE children of God. We are the physical manifestation of All. We must learn to accept our responsibility. We are all part of God's physical body on this plane. We Can do miraculous things, if only we realize the truth of that statement.
We were brought the choice to partake of knowledge- by an angel of God- and we made that choice, not knowing the full implications of our choice. Chaos resulted from our ignorance; massive amounts of people throughout the ages has suffered enormously, and all because we Keep excusing ourselves from our responsibility. If you are going to hold a gun, you had better know how to use it. We are holding that gun, and still refusing to learn how to use it.

Dear U.N.,
Dear U.N., Rome Club, and Bildenberg group and all your buddy fiends,
Thank you all so much for deciding that the world population must be reduced by 90%. We're sure you have made this decision in the world's best interest.
We applaud you all for being the first to sacrifice your lives, and the lives of all your associates and families towards this effort. We're sure the rest of us will be eternally grateful for your commitment in making the world a better place.
We know that without your sage leadership, our world will be so much better off. Thanks again for alleviating the rest of us from your inhuman values and unethical actions by dying first and setting such a fine example of martyrdom. God speed!

":For Protection..."
Currently, there has been a major land grab going on, disguised as being "for Protection...","For Future generations...","To increase usage and economic prospects...", etc., etc.
Colorado is currently going through this hood-winking, along with many other areas nationally.Below is a map from 1997, showing lands already controlled by numerous federal agencies. Remember- this map is 15 years old, and many areas controlled by these entities has greatly increased since then. Add to it lands controlled by utilities, railways, large corporations, airports, etc. and the land becomes more diminished for private use,(homes and small business)the backbone of our nation. Other States are suffering likewise.
Courtesty of : http://www.sangres.com/maps/publicland.htm
You can see from the above map that west of the I-25 there is a severe shortage of private land. The checkerboard pattern in the eastern plains is the result of two sections of each township being designated "School Land", and said land was 'given' to the State Board of Land Commissioners. Most of the BLM and the School Land properties are leased for agriculture (cattle grazing). Approximately 450,000 acres of School Land is leased by the Colorado Division of Wildlife for seasonal hunting purposes.( Question: Since land-owners are paying for schools with their tax dollars...perhaps we need to see exactly where is the money from 'School Lands' actually going?)
The Map [circa 1997 ] does NOT show county owned lands, nor any lands Preserved Lands under Conservation of any organization (government or otherwise), nor any lands controlled by the Department of Defense, which further add to the shortage.
Many people in Colorado are unaware of the existence of 'School Lands'. State School Board Lands are lands that were granted by the Federal Government to Colorado at statehood, mainly to provide income to provide for and support public schools. Why are Colorado's property taxpayers providing and supporting these schools when the State has the means to do so? Where, exactly, are the monies from these leased lands going? Clearly, proof needs to be provided to the public showing that the revenue generated from School Lands has consistently been used to provide schools and support the schools. It is well known that the taxpayers have been paying that for many, many years, and perhaps this burden has been erroneously borne by the taxpayer instead having of the revenue generated from the School Lands used for its designated purpose. These lands are managed by the State Board of Land Commissioners through an agency known as the State Land Board. In addition to agricultural and hunting purposes, these Lands are leased for surface uses and mineral extraction, and the lessee has the right to deny access.
The 'public' lands shown on the map are managed by several additional federal and state agencies and local governments. Unknown to many, USFS, for example, for many years has contracted out their duty of management of many areas to 'concessionaire' companies- privately owned companies who are supposed to maintain the areas for the USFS. Often this is not done in an appropriate nor responsible manner, and many visitors also are subject to vandalism and theft while visiting those areas, as well. When a governmental agency finds that these designated areas are not generating enough income, they are SOLD- often to FOREIGN interests. Forest Rangers have been forced into 'retirement' because they disagreed with this policy and attempted to alert the public of the practice.
Fees are commonly now charged to enter our Parks (which was NOT the norm when these Parks were established- Our tax dollars already pay the USDA, of which the USFS is a part....One has to question why are we paying to access and use lands we own? They are, after all, OUR parks). Access is often denied or restricted, and people can go to jail over taking so much as a pinecone home as a momento. National Parks and Monuments and other governmentally managed lands now normally charge a fee for entry, additional fees for camping, permits, etc. In many places, people cannot even get close to what they'd like to see, as it is often fenced off. While camping and some forms of recreation may be encouraged in some specific areas (and those are rare), hunting and some other outdoor activities are strictly forbidden or restricted.
One also has to pay attention to terminology. What was once termed Public Lands, changed to Federally Managed Lands, and is now called Federally owned lands.
Out of the alleged 66+million acres, BLM claims that 2/3rds of Colorado is privately owned. The map clearly indicates otherwise, and that map is 15 years old! Then, of course, one has to account for another huge chunk removed from private use by public utilities and major corporations, and lands that are immersed in water. Only approximately 8 million acres of Colorado was cropland, according to federal sources for the same year as the map, and those have been dramatically reduced since then. Many privately owned farms were bought by developers who then built thousands of homes. A good portion of these homes now stand vacant due to foreclosures, and are subject to vandalism. As the banks went belly-up, the homes and many acres of real estate now is in the hands of the FDIC, who is auctioning them off. The main buyers are foreign interests.
The BLM manages 8.4 million surface acres and the USFS manages 14.3 million acres in Colorado, and the Wilderness acreage is well above 3.5 million acres. These acres are controlled by agencies which impose 'authorized' uses. In addition, there are collectively millions more acreage that is controlled by counties and local governments.
Legal access to federal land is provided by a system of public and agency roads and trails, with the exception of millions of roadless acres within Wilderness areas. Agency officials may restrict access or control the use of these roads and areas. Restrictions may be imposed without public input, consent, or knowledge.
The other issue that seems to be ignored is the fact that the illegal immigrants are setting up 'hobo camps' within these protected areas, and doing a fine job of leaving all kinds of non-eco friendly debris for others to have to clean up after they've moved on. We, of course, are the ones bearing the clean-up expenses.
Frequently, the special interest groups, lobbyists and politicians claim that by designating more areas as Wilderness, or National Monuments that there will be an positive economic benefit, and that it will offer more areas for tourists to visit. The truth is, that is rarely the case.
Their well constructed pleas are deliberately designed to appeal to our emotions, claiming that we would be 'saving' something for our children and future generations. Lack of access and imposed fees and restrictions actually reduce areas open to the public. It has also been repeatedly documented that areas that hold these designations have actually suffered a reduction in jobs, as well as a marked decrease in revenues. Politicians and special interest groups would have us believe otherwise. With these lands being sold without our knowledge and consent, there is no guarantee that there will be anything left for future generations, either.
Another thing the public is unaware of is that these 'public' lands might fall into the same control as many national monuments that are now controlled by the UN. This is, indeed, a truly dangerous situation. 68% of our national monuments are listed as World Heritage Sites, which is controlled by the UN.

Removing MORE land from public access by designating it as National Monument and Wilderness is UN-NECESSARY!
Much of the area of these lands are barely accessible due to terrain.
If tourism was such a grand success, Colorado would easily be able to alleviate the debt we're in without reducing State workers pay, without increasing taxes at every turn, and without major cuts all over. Tourism is not just 'down' due to the economy of the country. Tourism has always been, and will always be a TEMPORARY and fluctuating source of revenue. Ask any artist who tries to rely on tourism. Ask any hotel owner. Ask any trinket shop that caters to tourism.
To keep pushing for tourism is insane, especially in this economy when people are losing their homes, and jobs. Do you really think they can afford vacations?? NO. And if they can afford to vacation, how much extra money are they now willing to toss on casual incidental expenses or trinkets? They are more concerned with putting food on their own table.
Tourism is a LOSING proposition- it only is a TEMPORARY means of income in the best of economies, and it is NEVER long lasting. We do NOT need tourism, and we've wasted more than enough money trying to push for more of it. Look around you! The economy has been collapsing everywhere, with NO sign of it getting better for many more years. And Colorado is running about three years behind the rest of the country.
The first indications of failing economies is cars go up for sale; then businesses are closing and there are numerous storefronts to rent; then, the foreclosures start, and the businesses are going belly-up, even with the partnering of larger businesses in other states. Major job losses result with the downed businesses...people can't pay their bills. Increased uses of charities, food banks, and the like. Yet, the real estate industry keeps trying to tell us that we are recovering? Just because people bought in at high prices does not mean they won't be seriously losing money on their homes now- IF they even still have possession of them. We are just beginning to see what the rest of the country has been going through for the past few years.
Colorado needs to be promoting a Business friendly environment, and encourage businesses that are self-reliant, businesses that offer basics- and STOP relying on tourism! Tourism is NOT 'sustainable', and the only jobs it provides are service-industry LOW paying jobs, most of which are 'seasonal' and/or temporary. Those jobs are the first to go in crushed economies. Colorado does NOT need this type of employment; Colorado needs to push for entrepreneur businesses, businesses that produce products we all need, and push for a very strong agricultural business base for ORGANICALLY grown and healthy foodstuffs.(NO Monsanto/Dow!!). If we want a healthy, productive populace here, we must be conscious of the foods we grow and eat. We want innovative, ethical businesses that provide goods people need -as opposed to goods that are simply ego-gratification worthless trinkets.
If you really want to help Colorado and the people of Colorado, STOP this insanity, and LISTEN to what YOU really need and want!
Get the ethical businesses that have left the US BACK to the US, and provide people jobs that pay WELL if you want a strong economy.
NO MORE taking of lands and cutting them off from the taxpayers- which is what happens with ALL 'public' lands- they are hardly 'public', with all the restrictions and closures. NO. This is NOT a good idea at all. ENOUGH with the land grabs, which is exactly what this is, and it is poising as doing us a favor. NONE of this serves the people.
And, by the way, the video our Senator is displaying is nothing but promotional hoopla- winter in Colorado does NOT have green summer trees- only evergreens in their dormant state. Who is he trying to fool? Also, according to all maps showing the 'public lands', CLEARLY the private land is no where near the 2/3rds you politicians keep tooting it as being. Once one factors in all the land the individual counties hold, on top of myriad State and Federal agencies, the people are lucky to have maybe 1/4 available for private land. Again, WHO are they trying to fool??
We, the people of Colorado, deserve a reality check from our 'representatives'- They clearly are NOT serving the people.
For ONCE, we MUST do what is BEST for the PEOPLE instead of the politicians, special interest groups, and con artists- It is time to DEMAND they do as we want and need instead of the opposite of what we want.
Input from others:
"Over 15 percent of the Colorado mountains are currently managed as Wilderness but account for less than 4 percent of visits to the region.
Most people will never set foot in a federally designated Wilderness area, as there is no access for most users of public lands. Mechanized travel is strictly forbidden in designated Wilderness areas, and until recently motor vehicles could not be used for emergency response in Wilderness.
The closure of public lands to 96 percent of users has drastic economic impacts to communities"
"A recent Utah State study found that counties with significant Wilderness designations average $1,446 less in per household income, $37,500 less in average payroll and generated $92,900 less in tax revenue than similarly located counties. The negative economic impacts of Wilderness restrictions caused the Utah Legislature to adopt a resolution requesting the federal government not to designate additional Wilderness due to the negative economic impacts. Wilderness limitations result in thousands of dollars in lost salary to families and tens of thousands in lost payroll and revenue for local communities to maintain roads and operate schools".
"The Forest Service recently reported to Senator Udall that designated Wilderness directly contributed to the mountain pine beetle epidemic and limited the response of the Forest Service to this threat". Now, there are thousands and thousands of acres ravished by the epidemic- thousands of acres of dead trees!
Udall's proposal directly undermines the years of public involvement and meetings that occurred in the development of the Colorado Roadless Rule.
Research indicates the number of people pursuing these activities has significantly declined since the early 1990s.
There is simply no need for more Wilderness; the risk to Colorado communities is simply too great.
----------
Closing such a large swarth of the state from economic activity will have dramatic negative effects on education funding, employment, local and state tax revenues, energy production and quality of life.
----------
The Udall bill would devastate Colorado's local economy during the current economic recession and render impossible any long-term economic opportunities

"Wilderness legislation has been introduced to each Congress due to the vigorous lobbying of well-funded special-interest groups and out-of-state supporters. Unfortunately, these groups and the bill's lead sponsor, Senator Udall, fail to acknowledge the harmful effects it will have on the residents of Colorado.
The negative economic impacts will be immense, in mining, farming, energy development, ranching and private land ownership & development. Further, it represents a model of wilderness designation that engenders conflict, ignores local input and leads to gridlock. Simply put, this bill is a relic of a bygone era. It amplifies rather than alleviates public land disputes, ignores local input and leads to gridlock. Simply put, this bill is a relic of a bygone era.

From the cattlemen's viewpoint:
"National Monuments Background
Currently, the Antiquities Act allows the President near-unchecked authority to designate new national monuments on federal lands. While meant to fend off potential destruction and theft of U.S. archeological landmarks, monument designations have been used indiscriminately, resulting in the severe restriction of multiple uses such as grazing. Additionally, they have had multiple adverse effects on adjacent private property.
There are now 71 national monuments in 26 states, spanning roughly 136 million acres. In early 2010, a Department of Interior document was leaked, which included a list of 14 areas in the West for possible designation as National Monuments by President Obama. The proposed areas span about 13 million acres and include proposed purchase of a number of private land holdings (if land owner's disagree or refuse to submit to these plans, use of eminent domain would secure their properties!). The administration has refused to release all documents relating to the monument plans.
through the purchase of adjacent private land." Those that oppose suffer the effects of eminent domain- either way, they lose their land.

"First, any private land that’s so designated removes that land from the tax base – as much of southern Utah has already experienced. Which is one of the reasons many of the locals are opposed.
Second, neither NP or Wilderness designation has become an invitation for greatly increased usage. I know – the environmental organizations don’t want to believe or acknowledge that, but as a backpacker with over 20,000 miles under my boots and having spent time (meaning having hiked ) in well over 100 of the National Parks in the system (including ALL of those in Utah), I’ve seen the effects up close and personal. It’s rarely a pretty sight. The human race loves to love things to death.
And last, if the idea is to “protect” those places, then, at least initially, it will fail simply because “protection” requires money and manpower. Neither of which is likely to magically appear in the present financial climate. Nor in what I see as the probable future political climate (and that’s NOT related to the Democrat/Republican or liberal/conservative divide)".
This Land Grab is going on all over the United States. It is taking control away from the people.
Colorado is currently going through this hood-winking, along with many other areas nationally.Below is a map from 1997, showing lands already controlled by numerous federal agencies. Remember- this map is 15 years old, and many areas controlled by these entities has greatly increased since then. Add to it lands controlled by utilities, railways, large corporations, airports, etc. and the land becomes more diminished for private use,(homes and small business)the backbone of our nation. Other States are suffering likewise.
You can see from the above map that west of the I-25 there is a severe shortage of private land. The checkerboard pattern in the eastern plains is the result of two sections of each township being designated "School Land", and said land was 'given' to the State Board of Land Commissioners. Most of the BLM and the School Land properties are leased for agriculture (cattle grazing). Approximately 450,000 acres of School Land is leased by the Colorado Division of Wildlife for seasonal hunting purposes.( Question: Since land-owners are paying for schools with their tax dollars...perhaps we need to see exactly where is the money from 'School Lands' actually going?)
The Map [circa 1997 ] does NOT show county owned lands, nor any lands Preserved Lands under Conservation of any organization (government or otherwise), nor any lands controlled by the Department of Defense, which further add to the shortage.
Many people in Colorado are unaware of the existence of 'School Lands'. State School Board Lands are lands that were granted by the Federal Government to Colorado at statehood, mainly to provide income to provide for and support public schools. Why are Colorado's property taxpayers providing and supporting these schools when the State has the means to do so? Where, exactly, are the monies from these leased lands going? Clearly, proof needs to be provided to the public showing that the revenue generated from School Lands has consistently been used to provide schools and support the schools. It is well known that the taxpayers have been paying that for many, many years, and perhaps this burden has been erroneously borne by the taxpayer instead having of the revenue generated from the School Lands used for its designated purpose. These lands are managed by the State Board of Land Commissioners through an agency known as the State Land Board. In addition to agricultural and hunting purposes, these Lands are leased for surface uses and mineral extraction, and the lessee has the right to deny access.
The 'public' lands shown on the map are managed by several additional federal and state agencies and local governments. Unknown to many, USFS, for example, for many years has contracted out their duty of management of many areas to 'concessionaire' companies- privately owned companies who are supposed to maintain the areas for the USFS. Often this is not done in an appropriate nor responsible manner, and many visitors also are subject to vandalism and theft while visiting those areas, as well. When a governmental agency finds that these designated areas are not generating enough income, they are SOLD- often to FOREIGN interests. Forest Rangers have been forced into 'retirement' because they disagreed with this policy and attempted to alert the public of the practice.
Fees are commonly now charged to enter our Parks (which was NOT the norm when these Parks were established- Our tax dollars already pay the USDA, of which the USFS is a part....One has to question why are we paying to access and use lands we own? They are, after all, OUR parks). Access is often denied or restricted, and people can go to jail over taking so much as a pinecone home as a momento. National Parks and Monuments and other governmentally managed lands now normally charge a fee for entry, additional fees for camping, permits, etc. In many places, people cannot even get close to what they'd like to see, as it is often fenced off. While camping and some forms of recreation may be encouraged in some specific areas (and those are rare), hunting and some other outdoor activities are strictly forbidden or restricted.
One also has to pay attention to terminology. What was once termed Public Lands, changed to Federally Managed Lands, and is now called Federally owned lands.
Out of the alleged 66+million acres, BLM claims that 2/3rds of Colorado is privately owned. The map clearly indicates otherwise, and that map is 15 years old! Then, of course, one has to account for another huge chunk removed from private use by public utilities and major corporations, and lands that are immersed in water. Only approximately 8 million acres of Colorado was cropland, according to federal sources for the same year as the map, and those have been dramatically reduced since then. Many privately owned farms were bought by developers who then built thousands of homes. A good portion of these homes now stand vacant due to foreclosures, and are subject to vandalism. As the banks went belly-up, the homes and many acres of real estate now is in the hands of the FDIC, who is auctioning them off. The main buyers are foreign interests.
The BLM manages 8.4 million surface acres and the USFS manages 14.3 million acres in Colorado, and the Wilderness acreage is well above 3.5 million acres. These acres are controlled by agencies which impose 'authorized' uses. In addition, there are collectively millions more acreage that is controlled by counties and local governments.
Legal access to federal land is provided by a system of public and agency roads and trails, with the exception of millions of roadless acres within Wilderness areas. Agency officials may restrict access or control the use of these roads and areas. Restrictions may be imposed without public input, consent, or knowledge.
The other issue that seems to be ignored is the fact that the illegal immigrants are setting up 'hobo camps' within these protected areas, and doing a fine job of leaving all kinds of non-eco friendly debris for others to have to clean up after they've moved on. We, of course, are the ones bearing the clean-up expenses.
Frequently, the special interest groups, lobbyists and politicians claim that by designating more areas as Wilderness, or National Monuments that there will be an positive economic benefit, and that it will offer more areas for tourists to visit. The truth is, that is rarely the case.
Their well constructed pleas are deliberately designed to appeal to our emotions, claiming that we would be 'saving' something for our children and future generations. Lack of access and imposed fees and restrictions actually reduce areas open to the public. It has also been repeatedly documented that areas that hold these designations have actually suffered a reduction in jobs, as well as a marked decrease in revenues. Politicians and special interest groups would have us believe otherwise. With these lands being sold without our knowledge and consent, there is no guarantee that there will be anything left for future generations, either.
Another thing the public is unaware of is that these 'public' lands might fall into the same control as many national monuments that are now controlled by the UN. This is, indeed, a truly dangerous situation. 68% of our national monuments are listed as World Heritage Sites, which is controlled by the UN. Although we applied for this status and it doesn’t give them ownership, it does give them regulatory control.
The Feds they are using, in most cases, the Endangered Species act and other EPA acts to either retain or regain control of these lands. Also they use the Powers or the Endangered Species act to fulfill the required “Public Good” of eminent Domain.
