A Lone Voice In The Wilderness

Mike has a great piece about another federal takeover of private lands.  Is it just me, or does Leviathan love to attack in the remote places?  They must think that in those remote places, there will be few people to protest and few outside of the area will care. 

One line in particular really caught my attention. 
"The real issue in Maine is a vicious agenda of rural cleansing." ----"They don't like growth or prosperity."
Does everybody have your Matt Bracken CW2 cube out?
Good.  Upon which two axes are the two prongs of the government's action coming?  Wealth and location. 

Along the axis of money, they're trying to stifle anyone else from getting more.  In this way, those who are currently at the outer edge of the wealth axis will continue to remain so even if the entire axis shrinks. 

Along the axis of location, they're trying to federalize (which is a good euphemism for "steal") productive lands that are already well managed and deny them to private citizens.  This in essence, compresses the CW2 cube along the location axis, denying the rural and forcing people to the urban.  Strange that they don't federalize the center of a city that is just a wasteland, yet will federalize what's already well-managed and maintained. 

Do you understand yet?

FedGov owns most of the land in the southwestern states. Here in Virginia, Fort Pickett and Fort A.P. Hill show on the map as larger than some counties, and the national parks and national forests -- they were seized from people who owned that land for generations, and they were moved off, their own Trail of Tears. I don't know what percentage of Virginia's square miles are no longer ours, but it's impressive. And we know well that government property is not PUBLIC property.
It appears that the feds got a surprise when Mainers didn't all say "Take my land -- please."
No more Katrinas. No more Kelos.
Like Dr. Zhivago's uncle, on finding the summer house commandeered by the Reds in the name of the people: "Damn it, I'm one of the people too!"
I've always thought I'd like to visit Maine. The time might be soon.

Actually, the US government does not own most of the land it claims to control. It has never held title to the land, which it must do to have ownership. The so-called "Louisiana Purchase" was not a purchase of land, it was the purchase of a treaty with France to abrogate all claims to the land. As soon as a state was formed out of that land and admitted to the Union, all US government claims to control were null and void Constitutionally.

All of the western states should band together and nullify that unlawful control; there's nothing the BLM could do about it.

The US government is the most dangerous ENEMY to and of all Americans.
