The Senate voted to pass its annual National Defense Authorization Act on Friday , sending Montana’s first wilderness additions in 33 years to President Barack Obama’s desk.

The National Defense Authorization Act authorizes $585 billion in Pentagon discretionary spending and $63.7 billion in overseas contingency operations.It also includes a package of 70 public land management bills; the biggest collection since the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009. They create about 250,000 acres of new wilderness designations and protection of other lands from energy development. Other measures open thousands of acres to logging in Alaska and swaps federal lands for new mining operations.

Eight Montana bills are in the package. They include the North Fork Preservation Act, which protects about 430,000 acres west of Glacier National Park from energy exploration. The Rocky Mountain Front Heritage Act would add about 67,000 acres to the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex, along with 208,000 acres of conservation management areas and a new noxious weed control program – while releasing or reassessing about 29,000 acres of wilderness study areas in eastern Montana.

The Feds are attempting to take over all land. They want you and your family to live in densely-packed cities where you are easier to control, you are easier to watch and your money is easier to steal. You are nothing to them as they bleed your spirit and your soul.

The federal government is a colonial power. The colonies exist to provide their colonial masters with income from their natural resources and their labor.

Pres. Washington is rolling over in his grave.
