68% of our public land is controlled by UNESCO (which is the UN) without ratification by Congress. Rep. Coburn defunded it, yet it thrives. Private land owners are seldom consulted. Take a look at the alphabet soup Congress has poured on us:

UN - United Nations

World Heritage Sites

Biospheres

Biosphere Reserves

UNESCO - United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization

Convention on Biological Diversity (which Congress refuses to ratify)

U.S. National Committee MAB

MAB - Man and the Biosphere

National Science Foundation

Environmental and Scientific Affairs office of the Department of State.

 

Dig this mouthful of political wordwash: " ... The MAB mission and long term goal will be implemented, in the United States and internationally, through public-private partnerships and linkages that sponsor and promote cooperative interdisciplinary research, experimentation, education and information exchange on options by which societies can achieve sustainability." [That sounds almost as smooth as the California Framework for textbooks. ]

A member of the World Heritage Committee, Adul Wichiencharoen from Thailand (of all places), requested that a 12 million acre (18,750 square mile) buffer zone be created around the 2 million acre Yellowstone National Park. Federal bureaucrats are attempting to work that foolishness in, but the pesky people living in the area won't cooperate. One bureaucratic suggestion is that the people be removed so the weeds, bugs and wild animals can live in peace.

Carter made an international agreement. Reagan dumped it.

Clearly, this is a gross misappropriation of funds. Stealing of taxpayer money, in other words. That being so, a few dozen bureaucrats should be fitted up with some prison uniforms. That's the only way this nonsense will ever be stopped.

Supreme Court rulings on agreements as opposed to treaties will be found by clicking here. (Run a search for agreement. There will be many hits.)

There is an issue of unconstitutionality by Congress and/or the President at issue here.

Personally I like the idea of visiting these sites, particularly the ones that are "off limits" where we can get "arrested". I'd like to learn more about this. A test case may be in order.

Keep reminding us. Maybe we can get enough people educated so that something can be done to undo these illegal designations.

Agenda 21 is alive and well in Southwest Florida. Between the citrus canker and the manatee preserves, the place is crawling with usefull idiots.

"Today, over 68% of public land -- land belonging to the people of the United States -- the land in our National Parks, Preserves and Monuments, is designated as a United Nations World Heritage Site, Biosphere Reserve or both."

So, until we can get the hippies out of our gubmint and reclaim our country, let's send a huge tax bill to the UN. If they don't pay it, we not only reclaim the land, but we throw the UN right out of the US. Sort of like forclosing on a mortgage!
