Looks like a site to spend some time digging through; thanks. (I think)

Americans are unaware of just how "symphonically" their environmental opinions have been molded by big-money foundations that tell green groups what to do and how to do it, all with the help of bureaucrats providing federal grants and insider policy manipulation.

This "iron triangle" of:

wealthy foundations,
grant-driven environmental groups,
and zealous bureaucrats

• cuts off natural resource extraction from America's federal lands, ending the supply of timber, minerals, food, and fiber you use every day.
• calls the gradual removal of resource workers from rural lands "transition," envisioning gentrification with upscale retirees,  modem gypsies and rat-race refugees in a boutique economy.
• destroys the lives and jobs of rural resource workers, whose cries of anguish and anger are called "incivility" by the rich and powerful who are destroying them.
• tightens their regulatory grip on private property so you can't use what you own—and you can't get compensation for what you lose.
• increases the size of big government by taking more land for "nature preserves" even though government already owns nearly half the nation.
• widens the rural-urban prosperity gap. While cities enjoy a booming economy, rural communities suffer severe economic pain caused by the "iron triangle" through bans on logging, mining, ranching, farming, and all forms of natural resource extraction.
• perverts the media you rely on, rearranging your mind, making sure you believe what they want you to believe and crushing all opposing views.
• dismantles industrial civilization piece by piece. 

This website follows the money and the power and the harm and takes you along.

When you get done getting all rialed up, try thinking what you would do about it. System heal thyself? No way. It is intrinsically corruptable. Hope for Republicans? What kind of strategy has that been? They gave us the ESA! So... What?

That's what's wrong with guys like Ron. They don't know and DON'T care to fix it because they make a good buck rousing rabble. That just isn't going to cut it.

Total laissez faire leads to a "come and get me" mentality, governed by those with the money to fend off civil accountability. It didn't work either, which is what got us regulation in the first place. That's what is unique in what you have in my approach. It's an intrinsically stable system design by virtue of its elegant checks and balances. Yes, it's a lot of work to understand, in part because though it is simple, it is capable of manifesting the full complexity appropriate to the task at hand. All I can tell you is that it's worth the effort.
