In a report Zinke submitted to the White House, the secretary recommended reducing the size of Utah’s Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments, as well as Oregon’s Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument, according to multiple individuals briefed on the decision.
President Bill Clinton declared the 1.9 million-acre Grand Staircase-Escalante in 1996, while President Barack Obama designated the 1.35 million-acre Bears Ears last year. Cascade-Siskiyou, which now encompasses more than 113,000 acres, was established by Clinton shortly before leaving office and expanded by Obama in January.

Reading is fundamental...
Clinton set up a folding table on the edge of the Grand Canyon, fooling the gullible because they believed he was protecting the Grand Canyon, when in reality he was creating a new National Monument, the Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument in Utah.
Beneath that new National Monument lies one of the world’s premier deposits of low sulphur coal, now inaccessible.
The Lippo / Rialdy bunch in Indonesia owns another source of sulphur coal in that country, which became much more valuable with Utah’s coal shut down.
The Lippo group gave campaign contributions to Clinton, and this was their reward. Corruption!
“No American passport, cough up the money to visit our wilderness.”
That would mean everyone would need identification.
The SJWs would NEVER allow that.

Third sentence in my previous post should say LOW sulphur coal.....
I know you're just being tongue in cheek, but I'm really irritated at moronic European know-it-alls criticizing the US incessantly, when they'd all be fascists or communists (i.e. under the oppressive thumb of totalitarianism) if it wasn't for us. For the most part, they've destroyed the natural beauty of much of Europe - yet they have the audacity to point a finger at us about ‘the environment’. This is particularly true for Merkel, as East Germany was an environmental cesspool - and would have been much worse if they weren't too economically poor because of communism to build more environmentally backward factories.
Lmao
Just say you are afraid to go to the ‘hood.
why would I be afraid of going to the hood, since I have lived in it?

The area that Bears Ears occupies is very small. Yet, Obama set aside 1.3+ million acres for that Monument. The ranchers and the farmers would love that land to be freed up to be used for foodstuffs for the American people. But the ads here in the west, slam the ‘corporations’ and the ‘oil men’ for trying to take back the land. They are labeled GREEDY for wanting the land to be used to make life better for Americans. I smell Soros money here.
They are only "Federal lands" because two socialist Presidents stole the land FROM THE STATES for political purposes in direct conflict of the Antiquities Act. The States, under their own Antiquities laws approved by the citizens of those states, had conserved these lands and the Antiquities Act specifically states that designating Federal lands should only be done to protect them and not to restrict legitimate and traditional uses.

The Utah Coal Lockup: A trillion dollar Lippo payoff?
When the President signed the Executive Order designating 1.7 million acres of land in southwest Utah as the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, his action placed the area off limits to mineral extraction and development.
The New York Times reported that the monument encloses the largest coal field in the nation, the Kaiparowitz Plateau, which contains at least 7 billion tons of coal worth over $1 TRILLION.
Kentucky-based company Andalux Resources, which holds leases on 3,400 acres in the area, was planning to open a huge operation (underground, not strip mining) that would have generated 1,000 jobs, $1 million in annual revenue for Kane County, and at least $10 million a year in state and federal taxes, according to the New York Times. Folks living in the area wore black arm bands the day o the signing - but Clinton didn’t see them. He chose to make his announcement in a neighboring state. WHY?
Why did he do it? Why lock up $1 trillion worth of coal?...
...In the weeks prior to the past election, revelations surfaced almost daily regarding donations from foreign sources to the Democratic Party and Clinton’s past campaigns. At the center of the controversy was another set of people to whom Clinton owes a few favors: the Lippo Group, a powerful $5 billion Indonesian conglomerate, founded and owned by the Riady family who, it turned out, had raised and funneled millions of dollars into campaign coffers....

Wait until they recommend Anwar be open to drilling.

If you want a superb movie about the “joys” of East Germany see if you can find “The Lives of Others”. It won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Found it! Thanks for the info. I will watch it.
I remember and American Spectator magazine was virtually the only reportorial outfit that investigated why Clinton made this surprise declaration of a huge piece of Utah for a national monument when no one had heard of it, much less petitioned for its designation.
Likewise, folks had been bewildered as to why the Ryadi family from Indonesia made large campaign donations to Clinton until some reporter dug up the info on the mineral deposits belonging to Ryadi whose value was greatly enhanced when the Grand Staircase deposits were put off limits.
The Clintons always go back to their old tricks, just use slicker tools to hide the corruption. Can you say, Uranium and Clinton speeches in one sentence boys and girls? I knew that you could
