The Alamo will not go under UN control
For some people, just the designation means "its under the control" of the UN.
Just like Agenda 21 means "its under the control" of the UN.
My post about the Alamo and the UN was merely to ridicule the conspiracy kooks.
Let me tell you a story from many years ago, when Big Bend National Park was listed as a potential World Heritage Site, and Rotary International was promoting Big Bend as a Peace Park with Mexico.
This made a lot of people in Texas mad that Big Bend would be "under the control of the UN". Especially since Big Bend had originally been a state park and Texas gave to the feds in 1942.
Back in the late 80s, Big Bend Ranch came up for sale, and the Park Service was considering buying it to become part of Big Bend. That made Texas even madder, so the state pre-empted the feds and bought Big Bend Ranch to keep the feds from buying it.
The state has never been able to develop it and a lot of people don't even know its there. It has been a big financial drain that gets paid for with hunting and fishing licenses.
Thanks.
