Federal Lands Belong to the People

In a Federal Government, both the states and the national government have authority granted to them by the people. The people have a position of superiority over both their state and national government.

Powers delegated to the national government are enumerated in Article I, Section 8 in the Constitution. All power not specifically delegated to the Central Government are reserved to the states respectively and to the people. Any power not delegated to the National Government is prohibited by the Constitution.

Public land in the states are owned by the residents of the counties and should be managed by the states and not to an agency of the National Government.

The management of public lands should be administered by the state legislature. The Bureau of Land Management is not a legislative body, it is a agency of un-elected bureaucrats that are not accountable to Congress, the state legislatures, or to the people.

The rules and regulations of the EPA and the BLM are not laws. As citizens we should obey just laws and are not subject to rules and regulations written by un-elected bureaucrats.

According to the Constitution, the jurisdiction of the government of the United States is limited to a ten mile square plot of land located in the District of Columbia. The United States is only permitted to own land in the states for specific purposes that are listed in the Constitution. The United States must also obtain the consent of the state legislatures.

The state legislatures derive their power from the consent of the people and the United States government derives its power from the consent of the states.

  • I wish more people understood that, and without the confusion of corporate vs Republic implications.

    Good article, Keith

    You may want to check and see if it's in your States Constitution as well but even if not.., the "Full faith and credit clause" scares me enough to schedule a meet with my governor and ask exactly when did Georgia object to Nevadas surrender to Harry Reid the Federal dictatorship.

    “Purpose of government”. Let me begin with the good part:

    All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for the protection, security and benefit of the people; and they have the right to alter or reform the same whenever the public good may require it.

    Excellent. This is perfectly in harmony with the clause of the Declaration of Independence that states:

    That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.

    Wonderful. So far so good. But then the ideology is flipped upside-down when it says:

    But the Paramount Allegiance of every citizen is due to the Federal Government in the exercise of all its Constitutional powers as the same have been or may be defined by the Supreme Court of the United States; and no power exists in the people of this or any other State of the Federal Union to dissolve their connection therewith or perform any act tending to impair, subvert, or resist the Supreme Authority of the government of the United States.

    • Re: Tea - US Supreme Court that State has sovereignty over federal public lands 

      The lawyer flags at the bottom ring quazamoto's bell: – the entire scenario of creating Government Corporations is to create JOBS for Lawyers to bleed the Government and to hid the trace of where the money flow really is.

      Why do I say that --- I have been rationally trying to determine just how incorporating a Government Entity would give it more or less authority.

      Then it becomes the CARNEY Shell Game.  Which Shell is the Pea Under.  If you pick up the outter two and say, “The Pea is under the Center Shell, you win automatically”  because the lawyers cannot disclose the other two parts of the Shell Game.

      Hid the money and give it to the Cabal.

      Hire misfits and criminals, give them a brown suit and a gun, sick them on BUNDY.  (A patriot would draw down on a boss who told him to shoot BUNDY!)

      Our first task is to see just how many states have followed the LAWYER Corporation Model.  Looks like Texas is well under way.  And Rick perry is an arsehole to begin with (sell out from word go)  OREGON is a big one and requires watching.

      Which others.  There are enough EIN's in this document to do one hell of a search and each hit will give you many more.

      HELP

       

      The Hypothesis is starting to form – What is the SHELL GAME Purpose (#1) to hide money movement!  Your tax dollars.

       

      I would bet that if we set up another trace and find out which Corporations Bought AMMO and Guns, that you will find that they all have been shipped to Syria, Iran, and other Muslim Countries.

      • Osceola,

        You probably have no clue as to how right you are about Oregon!

        Gov. Kitzhabber is on his 3rd term. He is one of Clinton and Bruce Babbitt's buddies, who took the Steens Mountain away from the state, who also took the Escalante Park away from the Sate of Utah, against the will of the People, and also against the will of the politicians, and Bruce Babbitt is the one who gave control of Yellowstone Park to the United Nations. I have since been through there and they definitely have a communistic attitude. It is disgusting.

        Gov. Kitzhabber is a wolf in sheep's clothing if there ever was. I was involved in the battle with the ranchers when they took the Steens Mountain away from us. A friend of mine is the ranch supervisor for the Roaring Springs Ranch that is on the Steens MT. He told me Bruce Babbitt in essence told him they were going to take the mountain, with or without your say so. The Feds want it, so they are taking it.

        When government has all the land, the people will have none, then the people will just be serfs.

  • Thanks, Keith, for the clear constitutional summary -- that's the way I read it, too, though I couldn't have expressed it as well.

    My history is a bit fuzzy, but didn't Nebraska and Nevada become states at about the same time?  Yet Uncle Sugar turned over most of the land territory to Nebraska -- as opposed to the case of Nevada where Uncle Sugar kept something like 85+/-% of the land.  Can any of you historians account for the difference?  Was there some kind of legal rationale for the difference?  Have anything to do with the view of property rights at the time?  Was it a difference in the negotiation strategies of the soon-to-be states?

    Change of topic:  Sure would be interesting for some ambitious, investigative journalist to make a detailed estimate of the federal resources (e.g., man-hours X typical salaries; vehicles round trip from home parking lots X miles per gal X price per gal; helicopters X fuel per hour; contract cost for hired wranglers; etc.) expended in trying to "recover" the million or so $ owed for range grass consumed by Bunkerville cattle.

  • Get the Supreme Court to agree to this.

    The Bundy situation is perfect to move that forward.

    • Copy Past Email:

      A detailed report of Reid’s efforts to promote a Chinese takeover of 9,000 acres in Clark County for the purposes of building a solar energy farm and manufacturing plant was released by Reuters’ Marcus Stern, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist. Stern revealed:

       The Langfang, China-based ENN Energy Group hopes to build what would be the largest solar energy complex in America. The site chosen with Rory Reid’s guidance is in tiny Laughlin, Nevada, a gambling town of 7,300 along the Colorado River, 90 miles south of Las Vegas. ENN is headed by Chinese energy tycoon Wang Yusuo, who made a fortune estimated by Forbes at $2.2 billion distributing natural gas in China. Wang escorted Reid and a delegation of nine other U.S. senators on a tour of the company’s clean energy operations in Langfang, and Reid featured Wang as a speaker at his 4th annual National Clean Energy Summit in Las Vegas last year.

      Reid has been one of the project’s most prominent advocates, helping recruit the company during a 2011 trip to China and applying his political muscle on behalf of the project in Nevada. His son, a lawyer with a prominent Las Vegas firm that is representing ENN, helped it locate a 9,000-acre (3,600-hectare) desert site that it is buying well below appraised value from Clark County, where Rory Reid formerly chaired the county commission.

      • Would some one tell me if I am reading this right, is this saying that ENN company is buying the 9,000 acres if land from Clark County?
