No one noticed this? Do some research on land patents and then ask yourself why they would wish to eliminate it...
Yes. This is supremely important. Without a patent land is not owned, just occupied under color of title at the whim of government.
Now consider this nightmare: If the United States ever has to redeem its worthless Federal Reserve Notes with something tangible, it is quite likely land will be given away no matter who thinks he “owns” it.
Remember, you only own the land if you have the patent. The government has been keeping the patent to most land for quite some time and transferring deed to that land under color of title, not patent. Plus, Eminent Domain is now being unconstitutionally used to steal land at any unit of government’s convenience for any purpose.
Property Rights are fundamental to the formation of this country. And they are just about gone. Eliminating land patenting is just one more step in that direction.
Used to be a cheap way to get a nice, large vacation lot on, in or near a National Forest. Many a dirt mine hold a vacation cabin.
DOn’t know if it good or bad - it just is, right now.
It's probably some UN thing.
