When you ask "Why?" environmental extremists are willing to sacrifice the livelihood and property rights of rural people at Klamath
Falls, Oregon, it is helpful to look at the larger picture.
Green extremist organizations and government agencies tried to turn the northern half of Arkansas and the southern half of Missouri
into a gigantic "Biosphere Reserve" game preserve in 1995. People would have been moved out and land returned to wilderness over
several tens of years, to implement the United Nations AGENDA 21 program, a priority project of the Clinton/Gore Administration.
Agenda 21 states that the WILDLANDS PROJECT
http://www.wildlandsproject.org/htm/summary.htm
is the way that all land must be managed world-wide. Wildlands would run rural people off of their land and return approximately 85%
of the United States to uninhabited or sparsely inhabited wilderness.
Rural folks in Missouri and Arkansas stopped the extremists. You can, too. I takes work but it is possible. After the biosphere
project was run out of the Ozarks I went back and counted the activists who stopped the attempted land-grab. There were ten of us.
Don't for a moment think that you are helpless just because you are few in number - - that's what the opposition is counting on.
The University of Missouri at Columbia produced a study on how folks in rural areas of Arkansas and Missouri stopped the
bioreserve proposed by the Arkansas and Missouri Fish & Game departments. US Fish & Wildlife, assorted extreme environmental
organizations, the US State Department, and the United Nations. It's quite long, but worth reading in your situation. Paper copies
may still be available from UMC. You can check this out on the internet at - - -

A Study of a Failed Nomination Effort

The following article was published in 1996 in many newspapers in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas, during the height of the
land-grab attempt. The article provides the "Big Picture" and the means whereby land control is assumed by environmental extremists in and
out of government, and how rural people are to be run off of their land. You are welcome to reprint - - I'm the author and I give permission.
Much more information is available. Please contact me if you are interested and I will direct you to people who can bring you up to date on the
attempted world-wide land-grabs.

A PRIMER ON THE GAGS' OZARKS BIOREGIONAL WAR PLAN
(first published 10 january 1996)
William Jud
Green advocacy Groups (GAGs) define a BIOREGION as a CORE WILDERNESS area which may occupy hundreds of square miles
or more and in which no humans are permitted to live, surrounded by a BUFFER ZONE which may be tens of miles wide where a
few humans may be allowed to live and do permitted work, and usually further surrounded by an outer ZONE OF COOPERATION
several miles wide where many people may live and in which severe restrictions limit the kinds of work that may be done to earn
one's living. Adjacent Core Areas are connected by CORRIDORS many miles wide and as long as necessary to allow migration of
animals from one Core Area to another without encountering humans.
Designated OZARKS CORE WILDERNESS probably will include the entire range of the Ozarks Mountains from central and northern
Arkansas all the way north to central Missouri.
A BIOREGIONAL COUNCIL, under federal/GAG management, will control all land and resources. If you live in a Buffer Zone or Zone
Of Cooperation, then before you may raise cattle or plant a crop or harvest timber or repair your house or do anything else, even on
land that you "own" and pay taxes on, you first must get permission from the Bioregional Council.
The Ozarks are now under GAG attack, but the Bioregion itself is not yet defined nor the Bioregional Council appointed. At this time
it is impossible to say exactly which areas will be designated as Wilderness, Corridors or Buffer Zones and where GAGs will and
won't allow humans to live.
Within the next five years (by 2001) you can fully expect to see ECOSYSTEM MANAGEMENT planning activity going on in Ozarks
counties. The BIOREGIONAL PLAN is likely to be in full operation and moving people out of the Ozarks within 10 to 15 years (by
2006 to 2011). The Ozarks are a fairly high GAG priority and relatively pristine. GAGs want to preserve as much as possible and
prevent development. The NATURAL STREAMS ACT failed. A second effort is now beginning.
Watch for US DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR'S ECOSYSTEM COORDINATING GROUP to begin MULTIMEDIA
ENFORCEMENT on high-priority land. TWENTY ONE PARTICIPATING FEDERAL AGENCIES will descend on your farm looking for
violations of any law or regulation and will begin active and immediate enforcement against all owners of all land they want to take.
A GAG will create a proposal to SAVE THE OZARKS by designating a GREEN LINE BUFFER ZONE around the Ozarks. As GAGs
have done in New York, Maine and many other places, Ozarks GAGs will publish a little brochure with beautiful pictures of scenery
and animals. The GAG brochure promises better recreation, improved economies, controlled tourism and a better life for all, if only
we citizens will wrap a protective buffer zone around our Ozarks homeland and designate everything inside as a PARK, RESERVE
or GAME REFUGE.
The brochure has a mail-in card that says "WOULD YOU LIKE THIS BEAUTIFUL THING TO HAPPEN? PLEASE RETURN THIS
CARD WITH $25 TO HELP US SAVE THE OZARKS." Then the GAG develops a legislative proposal to create a PARK which
covers several counties and crosses state lines if possible. Returned cards prove that "People want to create and expand this park."
STAKEHOLDERS then create a PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP GOVERNING COUNCIL to manage the park because the park
exceeds a single County's (and State's and Nation's if possible) jurisdiction.
The Council takes control of Park land away from mayors, city councils, county commissioners and state legislators and begins
RESTRICTING THE KINDS OF WORK permitted in the designated
Park and Buffer Zone so that PEOPLE LOSE THEIR LIVELIHOOD and are driven from their land. This is the initial step toward
creation of a BIOREGIONAL COUNCIL that will govern land use within the entire Bioregion. Eventually the entire world will be
designated as BIOREGIONS, much as it is now designated as Oceans, Nations, States and Counties.
Final designation of the Ozarks, or perhaps just parts of the Ozarks such as the Current and Jacks Fork Rivers, as a WORLD
HERITAGE SITE and BIOSPHERE RESERVE, and ultimately a World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve "IN DANGER," will
remove control of the Ozarks from even the US Government and place the land under control of UNITED NATIONS WORLD
GOVERNMENT.
If your land is in an area that GAGs really want they will first try to buy it. If you won't sell they will offer a deal, such as -- here's
cash now and all we want is a CONSERVATION EASEMENT. Or they won't buy your home, just your RIGHT TO DEVELOP your
land. Or they may say that if you DONATE YOUR LAND TO A CONSERVANCY you may live in your home for the rest of your life
and take an immediate tax deduction. If none of this works, GAGs may CONDEMN YOUR LAND and make you leave.
GAGs will begin a flurry of designating HERITAGE SITES and NATURAL NATIONAL LANDMARKS. An old church or farm house
and its surrounding area may be designated as a CULTURAL SITE which will prevent the owner from altering, selling or doing
anything with the property. That is the purpose of HERITAGE CORRIDOR studies now underway. The GAGs' objective is to
designate everything that they possibly can to prevent any modification of the landscape. Not only is the site protected, but
everything within the VIEWSHED of that site is protected.
The ECOSYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN will bring together the results of Heritage Group studies, Fish & Wildlife group studies and
all other studies of the various environmental organizations, and then develop a MASTER PLAN. A PUBLIC/PRIVATE
PARTNERSHIP of GAG organizations and institutions within the ECOSYSTEM MANAGEMENT AREA will be created to implement
the Master Plan.
The Master Plan will call for PROTECTING and RESTORING wetlands and wilderness areas. You need to be very careful about
those terms PROTECTING and RESTORING. When GAGs say to RESTORE an area they don't just mean clean it up and stop
pollution. GAGs mean restoring and rehabilitating the land for the benefit of wildlife all the way back to the condition of the land
PRIOR TO THE INTRUSION OF MAN. This is explained quite explicitly in the UNITED NATIONS GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY
ASSESSMENT, which is the foundation document underlying this gigantic, world-wide land-grab. To RESTORE your land you must
move out. Quit farming. Get cattle off pastures. Stop all resource use. That's how GAGs expect you to do it. Wherever you see
RESTORATION AREAS on Management Plan maps, those are areas where people will be strongly encouraged to move away.
Complete depopulation and conversion of the Ozarks into full Bioregion status will take 50 to 100 years. GAGs expect it will take
two to three decades to make a significant dent.
GAGs and government officials won't start pressuring people to move out right away. They won't just drive up to your home one day
and say "We want your land. You gotta leave." But when you see meetings announced, workshops, or discussion about Ecosystem
Management in your county then you and all your neighbors must attend those meetings and probe for the real agenda. Remember,
"The world is run by those who show up." Also remember, you can "Just say NO!" to GAG proposals. They can't rule you until you
let them take over local government.
Local officials may be well-meaning but uninformed. They may be sold on the GAG environmental program and eager to go along
with it. It is important that you know your local officials and educate them on the GAG agenda, particularly the national and United
Nations environmental agenda
that few people know is going on. If your local officials support GAG programs, seriously consider replacing them.
Likewise Congress. Get their attention. Fifty to sixty House members are now fully aware and alarmed at the takeover of America by
GAG radicals and another 50 are becoming aware. But there are at least as many in Congress who know what is going on and want
it to go on, who are actually helping this process along. People like Al Gore in particular, who was largely responsible for much of
this when he was a Senator and more so now that he is Vice President.
GAG takeover of America is unconstitutional and illegal and is happening without Congressional law authorizing Fish & Wildlife
Service or Department of the Interior to do these things. This is all done by administrative policy, not valid legislation. Most
congressmen have no clue as to what's going on let alone what the ultimate objective is.
