This West Is Our West is a website that provides information on relevant issues not only in western states but on issues that affect all of us. Two recent articles have pertinent information related to conservation easements and our broken education system.
The first article, Save the Cowboy, STOP American Prairie Reserve, gives a first hand account on conservation easements and how they devastate and kill communities. The American Prairie Reserve is an agenda by non-governmental organizations to take land for a bunch of animals, and the Bureau of Land Management is helping them do it. The the true purpose is taking as much land as possible away from Montanans. The second article, Rescuing Our Children, is a video by Alex Newman that details how the United Nations has been behind the assault on our education system.

Hot off the press is a progress report on the implementation of the United Nations Agenda 2030, Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Liu Zhenmin, UN Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs, who is very difficult to understand, and Francesca Perucci, Chief, Statistical Services Branch, UN Statistics Division provide information on the report in this video. It is all based on the massive amount of data provided by "member" states, which includes the United States. That data is on every aspect of American lives. Some highlights of the report include information on poverty levels, decoupling consumption from production, improving international cooperation for migration, vaccinations, childbirth and child mortality, mass species extinction, access to electricity, internet, renewable energy, water, and sanitation, "water scarcity", income and gender inequality, education, promotion of green development, and oh catastrophe, the acceleration of climate change that is endangering our health, all of these being "global problems" that need solutions as a "global agenda". Ms. Perucci guaranteed the purity of the data, no manipulation or corruption here folks. To succeed towards full implementation they recommend more "investment", meaning more money coming their way. The most astounding question asked of the panel members is at the 55:57" mark and everyone should listen to it. A question was asked about the United States on SDG 13, that it isn't a matter of convincing the government, it is about "how to convince the people because it is the people that change the government". Did you read that? They know the United States is different, the people are the government. In response to asking what the "strategy" is to convince the people, Mr. Zhenmin replied, "The media could help, ask them to promote climate change". What rock is he living under? Every one of the issues discussed is thrown in our faces every day by the media. He then goes on to exalt the UN, its member states, the UN Secretary General himself whom he thinks is in charge, and he even has the gall to reference all of them as "we the people". WE have the ability to stop this, if there is no "political will" then it must be "our" will. These people are committed to destroying us, we cannot let that happen, and they are getting more aggressive with their actions. We can continue to fight the symptoms of this UN disease, but until we fight the UN intrusion into our lives, we will continue to decline until our death. The National Caucus of Environmental Legislators (NCEL) is a "nonpartisan network of legislative champions to protect, conserve, and improve the natural and human environment" for "advancing sound policy in the states...champions who can advocate on behalf of the environment, develop shared strategies, and educate their colleagues about coalition building and opposition tactics." Participation "is by invitation...regardless of political affiliation", and "does not lobby". Why would they need to lobby if they have legislative members to advance their objectives? After all, the NCEL "empowers state lawmakers to advance a pro-environment and conservation agenda." The NCEL is governed by a Board of Directors.
According to the NCEL website, the following Idaho legislators are members. Rep. Elaine Smith (D) Idaho Minority Caucus Chair; Rep. Ilana Rubel (D) Assistant Minority Leader; Rep. Mat Erpelding (D) House Minority Leader; Rep. Melissa Wintrow (D); Rep. Paulette Jordan (D) NACNCSL Chair of Energy, Environment, Transportation; Rep. Phylis King (D); Rep. Sally Toone (D); Rep. Sue Chew (D); Representative John McCrostie (D); and former Rep. Hy Kloc (D). On the Senate side is Sen. Maryanne Jordan (D) Senate Minority Caucus Chair and Sen. Michelle Stennett (D) Senate Minority Leader. Not one of their legislative biographies mention their NCEL membership. A few issues NCEL focuses on are Climate and Energy, Conservation, Environmental Health, and Environmental Justice. Part of the NCEL Conservation agenda includes wildlife corridors, land conservation, and support for public lands, with a special poll on what Idahoans think about conservation. NCEL policy options include "interagency coordination", support for "private land conservation" meaning conservation easements, rejecting "state land grabs" and to "establish state parks". Reference is also made for the need to double land conservation by 2030. There is also a link to the Center for Large Landscape Conservation: A Strategic Framework for Policy and Action report regarding wildlife corridors, however that link is broken but the report, written by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy can be found here. This report covers many aspects of large landscape conservation. These legislators, Rep. Jordan, Rep. Wintrow, former Rep. John Gannon (D), Rep. King, Rep. Erpelding, and Rep. Rubel all signed a letter to President Trump in 2017 opposing his intent to reduce the size of national monuments. Sen. Jordan, Sen. Stenett, Rep. Kloc, Rep. McCrostie, Rep. Chew, Rep. Erpelding, Rep. Jordan, Rep. King, Rep. Smith, Rep. Toone, Rep. Rubel, Rep. Wintrow, and former Sen. Cherie Buckner-Webb (D), now Assistant Senate Minority Leader, also signed a statement opposing President Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Climate Treaty in 2017. This all begs the question as to who or what is leading this group of legislators, just how are their issues decided upon? Given the identified issues, it doesn't take much effort to find out. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) "is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development...and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment", providing leadership and partnership in caring for the environment. Their topics include climate change and energy, forests and ecosystems, environmental rights and governance, and of course implementation of the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Among its many partners for implementation of these objectives, including the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), is the NCEL. However, there is no mention of this partnership on the NCEL website. So there you have it, UN influence over state polices through our NCEL Idaho legislators. Who are they really representing, the UN or their constituents? Or perhaps their constituents elect them for the purposes of advancing UN objectives. Does either group know this is happening through their NCEL membership? Fortunately at this point, out of 105 legislators, it is a very small percentage. But, since part of their NCEL responsibility is to "educate their colleagues about coalition building and opposition tactics", how much influence will they have in bringing other legislators into their fold? Another reason to fully investigate all legislators for their activity, including what they hide from the public. |
