Attention NM Freepers!
“I anticipate the Forest Service will hear the voices of freedom at the March 5th rally.”
Everyone here should know that libtards are deaf.
If this ruling had been in effect several years ago, a much larger acreage on the NW side of the forest -- and maybe a few towns -- would've been lost to the flames.
There are even national forest personnel who resist these rulings because of their adverse impact on fire-fighting.
The U.S. Forest Service is incompetent to manage the forests they have been given responsibility for.
Will the folks attending the rally be passing a hat for the maintenance of the roads? Is closing the roads part of budget cutting? Why are the feds paying for this road that locals seem most interested in?
I lived in SC for a while. There aren’t that many roads in the forest there to begin with. This is part of the ongoing policy of the FedGov to close off Federal lands to access.
It is funny reading all the complaints from people about Fed funding of roads in the National Forests. Without the roads there would be no access to logging or mining which both pay way more into the Fed coffers than a little “road maintenance” takes out. Anyway, I have traveled thousands of miles on roads in the National Forests and I have yet to see any road maintenance being done. However, I do occasionally see a few Forest Service employees driving around doing nothing at our expense.
These bondholders will probably get a lot of this locked up land (as well as locked up petroleum and mineral reserves) traded back as payment for our unpayable national debts.
No sense letting the lumpen-proletariat get used to using this "public" land, can we? These shlubbs might object even louder when it happens.
This is the intention of the various Fed agencies, especially Dept. Interior to prohibit access to “their” land and criminalized citizens who attempt to do so. It is NOT thought of as the citizen’s land any longer, it belongs to the Fed agencies, well, them and the UN.
We’ve been seeing this coming for a long time. USFWS will also use their powers to restrict, bar and criminalize citizens under the Endangered Species Act which they tried in 33 counties in Texas in the 80s. They’ll be coming back again for a replay.
Got an update from Steve Pearce’s press secretary on the rally time and place. It’s at noon on the 5th at the Silver City Convention Center (East Highway 180 and 32nd street). I’m not familiar with Silver City, but 180 is what comes into town from the south off I-10. From I-25 take 152 west to 180 (they form a “Y” just east of town).
