An Illustration of Big Government Assault on Freedom, Decency, and Common Sense

by CarterFliptMe

This case, Sackett v EPA, is a story of somebody who bought land in a residential area, and simply wanted to build a home and farm the land.  Suddenly, the leviathan known as the Environmental Protection Agency (along with the Army Corps of Engineers) swooped in and stomped on him, declaring his newly acquired land as "wetlands".  This bomb not only put an indefinite halt on his simple plan, but levied astronomical fines of $75,000 every day.  The landowner can't even dispute whether the EPA is correct in it's finding, or whether the EPA has this authority under the Constitution, without these fines being administered daily.  The landowner is faced with two choices: 1.) Tear down any and all structures currently on his land, incurring thousands of dollars of cost, and loss of income. 2.) Stand his ground and incur fines of over $75,000 per day while he waits indefinitely for the EPA to make a final determination.

There is no freedom, decency, or common sense to be found in this situation, and it's not the only one like it in this country.  This big government bullying, done by the U.S. Federal Government in the name of environmentalism, happens all the time.  Perhaps now, finally, we and the Sacketts can get some relief from the U.S. Supreme Court.

Agenda 21: When Obama Said the Climate Change Debate is Over, He Wasn't Kidding

excerpt from the article from BigGovernment.com:

“Governments have a responsibility this year to take the next essential step in the battle against climate change, said UNFCCC Executive Secretary Christiana Figueres. How governments achieve the next essential step is up to them. But it’s politically possible. In Cancun, the job of governments is to turn the politically possible into the politically irreversible, she said.” (Bolded by Writer) 

Executive Order 13575 was signed in June creating a White House Rural Council. The intent of this Executive Order is also to enact policy directly related to   Agenda 21 : Chapter 14.1 – Promoting Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development.
This video from a Fox News report details the government expansion of control of our food, fiber and energy production in our vast rural areas through this executive order.

This Agenda 21 stuff is NOT just another conspiracy theory.  This is serious, is happening NOW, and will be a nightmare to get undone!  Please read the entire article, bookmark it, re-post it, and share it with everyone.   BigGovernment.com:

EPA Ordered Wisconsin's Fox River Cleanup; Costs to Exceed $1Billion

Two companies, Appleton Papers and NCR Corp. have paid most of the cleanup costs so far, and are now arguing that others should be paying more, and there doesn't seem to be any reason why this shouldn't turn into a Trial Attorney's Bonanza.  Of course, the EPA already will have an army of lawyers, well-fed and very well-paid, courtesy of the US Taxpayer.  In essence, the taxpayers will be paying for a government entity, the EPA, who is unaccountable to the voting public, to fight to damage companies that provide jobs for Wisconsinites.

If I could vote on this issue, I'd vote NO! Or I'd work to get the scoundrel who did this voted out of office.  Of course I have no vote, and the EPA is a bull in a chinashop whose inventory is dangerously low as it is.

Meanwhile the unemployment rate continues to hover near 10%, inflation has set in, the housing market is still broken after 2.5 years, and Congress is playing Mexican poker with the budget, with politicians threatening default and calamity.

What a wonderful time for an American corporation, who provides jobs in it's pursuit of evil profits, to be getting whipped about the head and shoulders by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

• Is it any wonder the US is losing economic strength?
• Is it any wonder that most of the voting age public has turned its back on the entire process, including the news that pertains to it?
• Is it any wonder millions of alarmed Americans are talking about a return to Constitutional principles?
• Does anyone doubt that almost every single politician in Washington DC at this time will have to be replaced in order to accomplish this?
• America, we have our work cut out for us!

Below is an excerpt from the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel article:

"The cleanup is the largest of its kind in the United States, and according to court records, the cost of removing chemicals could exceed $1 billion.
The two companies that have paid for most of the cleanup so far - Appleton Papers and NCR Corp. - are close to ending dredging for the year because they want others to pay for a greater share of the cost.
The decision also raises questions about how the cleanup will proceed next year.
In 2007, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ordered Appleton Papers Inc., NCR and other companies to remove PCBs from the river. The PCBs were used to make a type of paper for copying known as carbonless paper."... read more Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel
