The Federal Government Owns Half of the West

The federal government owns and manages approximately 650 million acres of land in the United States—about 30% of the nation’s total surface area. Four major federal land management agencies—the Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service and the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and National Park Service (NPS)—are responsible for managing about 95% of these lands.

Other prominent federal agencies involved in natural resources management include the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (the Corps).

The federal government owns 47% of the land in the western United States. The percentage of federally owned land varies by state, with Nevada having the highest percentage at 80.1% and Connecticut and Iowa having the lowest at 0.3%.

As of 2018, half of the West belongs to the federal government, including 48% of California, 69.1% of Alaska, 53.1% of Oregon, 48.1% of Arizona, 42.3% of Wyoming, 41.8% New Mexico, 36.6% of Colorado, 62% of Idaho, 66.5% of Utah, 28.5% Washington state, and 81% of Nevada. Look up your state here.

By all accounts, they are not good stewards of the land.

Some believe the Great Reset will be built in the American West. Some wealthy investors and builders erecting 15 Minute cities in the West.

Sen. Mike Lee discussed it with Tucker last night.

And that’s only half the story!

There is no private property in America. It’s all (every single inch of it) has been stolen a long time ago.

Thanks to Amendment 5’s provision for government confiscations (theft) of private property via eminent domain, property taxes, and public lands, there’s not one square inch of private property that is not now “owned” by federal and state governments alike.
 
If you think this doesn’t apply to the property you “bought and paid for,” just stop paying your property tax and agents with badges and side arms will eventually show up to escort you off the property of those they represent. Give them enough guff, and they’ll escort you to jail.
 
In other words, the Constitution hasn’t protected your property, anymore than it has your life, your firearms, etc. Instead the Constitution has been the means of confiscating your property, licensing your firearms, and destroying life, including the millions of infants slaughtered in their mothers’ wombs financed by the Constitutional Republic.
 
If you’re in anyway a promoter of the biblically seditious Constitution as the law of the land, you’ve been *taken* for ride and you’ve been spurring the “horse” responsible for carrying America to the precipice of moral depravity and destruction.
 
For more, see Chapter 3 “We the People vs. Yahweh” of free online book “Bible Law vs. the United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective” at bible versus constitution dot org. Click on the top entry on our Online Book page and scroll down to Chapter 3.
 
Then Chapter 14 “Amendment 5: Constitutional vs. Biblical Judicial Protection.”

great news. now, instead of our social security system going belly-up, the feds can start selling off their land holdings to pay us what they’ve taken from our paychecks over the years.

Only 15 countries are larger than the US Federal Government landholdings.

The only real concern is deforestation, but there’s not many forests on a lot of that land to begin with. We need the forests, land that has been deforested causes real environmental impacts to weather. Global warming is not a concern when it comes to weather. But deforesting causes severe weather, tornadoes are drawn to land that has been deforested, that’s a proven fact, plus tree’s recycle carbon and in turn release oxygen into the atmosphere.

But there’s no reason to not build on land with forests, as long proper conservation easements are incorporated into the development of the land. For instance a square piece of land with a circular clearing in the middle, and the remaining outside parameter of the square is wooded. Take for instance how some crop circle formations are designed. Some crop circle designs are authentic, some have been filmed while they were being formed over a period days. Are crop circles a message left to us on how to develop land in harmony with nature?. Some are designed with multiple circles that are interconnected like a village. There’s an advanced intelligence behind the architecture.

Yes some are fake, the fancy artsy ones, but some are made with a force that has been scientifically proven to be made by an unexplained phenomenon. And they’re always in a open fielded area, like something is saying hey your doing it wrong, looky here, this is how to do it. You can build homes and you can also farm in those same areas.

95% of 250 crop formations in seven countries, proposed that the elongated pulvini were a result of superheating from electromagnetic radiation. Such radiation, he theorized, would cause stalks to fall over and cool in a horizontal position. He found further evidence for superheating in changes in the crop’s cellular structure and in the numerous dead flies stuck to seed heads in the formations.

Archeologists have discovered that entire ancient civilizations have collapsed and vanished from off of the face of the earth because of bad planning with how they farmed and built their cities. This has happened many times throughout history in many places. Mostly today we have learned nothing from that discovery.

Not true. The fires are so huge now, caused by the almost unlimited fuel laying on the forest floor, that they almost impossible to “put out”.

A bigger problem than “deforestation” is uncared for overgrown forests. Az, for example, has an average population of around 200 Ponderosa pines per acre when a healthy population is 80 & the forest floors are covered in layers of highly combustable pine needles. The forest service & BLM will not allow any loggong nor PROPER forest thinning & cleanup which is the reason for the crazy huge fires we have. They won’t even allow loggers in to cleanup after a fire, when the burnt standing trees are the BEST kiln dried pine available. Also, they’ve been closing roads & locking us OUT since Bill Klinton’s reign of terror!
