TRANSCRIPT
We have government theft of land, we have 630 million acres, 28 % of the nation’s total land mass is owned by the federal government, which is a communist program.
And of course the western states are the ones that have most of their land, the most liberty -oriented people have had their land stolen from them by state and federal governments.
State of Utah, you can see here, just for an example, you have all the gray area is BLM land, Department of Defense is the Navy color, and then you have the Fish and Wildlife, and you have National Park Service, and on and on and on of different organizations that control and have stolen land and leaving it so that there’s only a certain small just minuscule amount left available for the people to be able to build on and to build families and to grow families.
And so the federal government, this is the congressional research report from 2020 about federal land ownership. Moving forward on this, although 15 states contain less than half a million acres of federal land, the 11 western states and Alaska each have more than 10 in acres managed by these five agencies within their borders.
This contrast is a result of early treaties, land settlement laws and patterns and laws requiring that states agree to surrender any claim to federal lands within their border as a prerequisite for admission into the union.
That’s a long -term plan.
Management of those lands is often controversial, especially in states where the federal government is a predominant or majority landholder and where competing and conflicting uses of the lands are at issue.
The federal government, Article 1, Section 8, what are they allowed to own?
Constitution says that they only have authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the state in which the same shall be for the erection, right?
So it can’t be just like, “Oh, we gave them permission,” has to be for a specific purpose, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings, not just making millions of acres completely unavailable for human use, completely and utterly unconstitutional, and by design.
