Ranchers ordered to cut grazing on national grasslands...
Associated Press ^ | Jun 4 2008

Posted on 06/04/2008 3:37:49 PM PDT by george76

The Forest Service says it's trying to protect resources by ordering a 30 percent reduction in cattle grazing on grasslands in southwestern North Dakota.

Some ranchers were surprised by the order.

Doug Pope is the president of the Little Missouri Grazing Association. He says the Medora District has had more than 4 inches of rain this spring. He says a lot of people thought Forest Service letter ordering the cuts was unwarranted.

The Forest Service manages grazing on about 1 million public acres on the National Grasslands.

Ron Jablonski is the Forest Service ranger for the Medora District. He says the 30 percent cut is based on the condition of the ground and the lack of moisture going back to last fall. He says even spring rain would not catch up.

Jablonski says the agency is trying to work with the ranchers.

We are going to have some really big trouble in the country. Civil unrest and “Passive Resistence” are on the way.

"Jablonski says the agency is trying to work with the ranchers."

"Some ranchers were surprised by the order."

There could, hypothetically, be a small number of remote and isolated ranchers that didn't get contacted by Jablonski's boys...making both of the above statements true. Otherwise, at least one of the statements would be false.

About 15 years ago the Sagebrush Rebellion was in full force. The BLM and Forest Service started SWAT teams. It ended quickly.

I think one of the biggest mistakes in the Constitution is a lack of limitation of land ownership by the federal government in each state. Many of the western states are over 50% federal land. These ranchers should have the opportunity to buy this land including all mineral rights.

Many western counties are over 95 percent federal and some over 98 percent federal.

The eco-nuts have been getting every use banned on the former “ Land of Many Uses.”

I've been interested in the "Last Days" spoken of in the Bible lately because I think it's basically here. The food shortages are talked about in most parts of the world. If we are too stupid to drill for our own oil, burn our food, and starve our livestock, how can we feed the world?

The big question will be when we are eating, even if it costs an arm and a leg, what will the rest of the world think of us? I think the nukes will fly. If millions are starving and we have food, what would you do if your people were starving? If we get Obama as prez, that's the last holdout in the world that hasn't fallen to Marxism. There will be no limit to the insanity.

Bureaucratic double speak:

Don't call us, we'll call you.

Enriching the globalist corporate grain producers, owners of foreign rangeland, and feedlots at the expense of ranchers. That would be Soros, Rockefeller, and Ted Turner, ALL big donors to the likes of the Center for Biodiversity.

Can't let those pesky grass growers make a buck while they're inflating the price of meat with the cost of diesel!

I agree completely.

There is barely a day that goes by where something about global warming, rising fuel costs, rising food costs, and man made stupidity, that doesn't raise an eyebrow from me.

Growing up I heard of end time prophecies, and I watched as things happened little by little. But over the last 20 years things have picked up speed, and it seems exponentially.

Whether people realize it or refuse to realize it, the US is THE stabilizing factor in the (manmade) world.

Both party candidates are backing some form of global warming legislation which will cripple our economy, throwing the entire world into an economic tailspin which has never been seen before. Because of GW legislation we will grow food for fuel, but not for eating. Food supplies will shrink, because of mans arrogance and stupidity. Add a few badly placed and timed natural disasters and food even in the US could become scarce. Imagine a socialist like Obama being president, and demanding that private, family farms, give up THEIR food, so that others can have. That those who plan ahead, provide for those who don't or won't.

As things unravel more and more, from mans stupidy, men will try to grab or legislate more control, causing more unraveling.

All this setting the stage for a "world savior", promising peace, financial stability, food. All the while demanding more control.

Christians and Jews are being vilified more and more. Not just by muslims, but by average people walking down the street. There is a double standard for Christians and Jews versus everyone else.

Imagine this rising exponentially, and its not hard picturing all the worlds ills being blamed on them. In other words, the people of Jehovah are to blame for this.

Eventually pitting the "world savior" against the Savior of the World, Jehovah.

One part of me "fears" what I see approaching. The other part of me is excited and rejoices.
