I just started to read "Politics of Change-
A Brief History" by Dr. Robert N. Crittenden copyright 2000. He also
wrote "Salmon at Risk" in 1995. This material is a must read for
all involved saving your personal property rights. I got the
book and CD through CAPR with a donation. Crittenden's web site
is https://www.robertcrittenden.com
. He has some additional good reading regarding Land use and
Watersheds .
One of our CAPR people was telling the story of the "Salmon
at Risk" book around some beers the other night. The bottom line here
is the decline of salmon was deliberately caused, mostly by manipulating
the parts of their life cycle which the public does not see.
Crittenden also talks about the Boldt decision and how screwed up it was
and how it created an artificial environmental crisis. Its a long
story worth reading in both of the books/CD above.
Dr. Crittenden says he
naively went to the State offices of one of the largest environmental
organizations (DOE?) to complain that the WA Dept. of Fish and Wildlife was
cooperating with the Tribes to deliberately depress the salmon....
"The State Director agreed with him and said you will never be able to prove
it."
Then Crittenden says he went to a local environmental newspaper and
clearing house. "They agreed and told him the rest of the story.
The heads of the State Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, Ecology and Natural
Resources have been meeting weekly with the heads of the Tribal Fish
Commission and the leading Environmental groups to decide how they would
impact various salmon stocks to leverage environmental or land use
management programs"
So the big picture is; global warming is a
gross distortion , Endangered Species Act is highly ineffective, over hyped
and grossly overreaching and over funded, the fish runs are being
manipulated for political gain, big Eastern environmental money has shut
down all government forests. The UN, the environmental Non
Government Organizations and our government are using all this to take away
our personal freedoms and liberties in this country including our
property for a globalist agenda toward sustaining development, smart
growth, eminent domain, breaking the US sovereignty, levying UN taxes,
undermining the US Constitution and some international global companies are
jumping on board to reap the profits.
Dr. Crittenden says that
Weyerhaeuser was one of the major sponsors of declaring the Spotted Owl
endangered along with the Ancient Forest Alliance, Sierra Club, Wilderness
Society, US Fish and Wildlife Service. Turns out of course that the
Spotted Owl nests not only in the old growth forest and they are going
extinct because another predator owl(s). This contrived disaster shut
down the logging industry and broke up families and dispersed them all
over the country and cost the tax payers dearly. According
to Crittenden, this artificial disaster created a shortage of timber and
a sharp rise in prices in 1994 which was the most profitable year in
Weyerhaeuser history.
You'll have to read both these books.
Its pretty entangled and a complex story. He covers the whole gamut of
takings from timber, to fish, to water rights to property rights to
wilderness corridors plus a highly detailed history lesson in
civilization. He even weaves in the Trilateral Commission.
This is all a national embarrassment and a huge crisis of taking based all
on manipulation of environmental data spinning out myths on a grand
scale. Government has gone over the edge now and has become tyrannical
and our worst nightmare.
Dr. Crittenden is a quantitative
biologist with commendable credentials. Check him out.
