WHO OWNS THE USA

In 2004, the GSA Federal Real Property Profile Report states that the United States government owns almost 650 million acres of land; nearly 30% of all US acreage.   For every 10 acres in the US, the Government owns 3.  Why?  These lands are managed by different administrations, such as the Bureau of Land Management, the US Forest Service, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the US Department of Defense, the US Army Corps of Engineers, the US Bureau of Reclamation or the Tennessee Valley Authority.

Here is the map from the GSA in 2004, but notice the west:

The following states are the top 10 in terms of percentage:

1.   Nevada          84.5%

2.   Alaska          69.1%

3.   Utah              57.4%

4.   Oregon          53.1%

5.   Idaho             50.2%

6.   Arizona          48.1%

7.   California        45.3%

8.   Wyoming       42.3%

9.   New Mexico   41.8%

10. Colorado        36.6%

Did you notice that all these are in the west?

The Constitution provides for the Federal Government to own land for:

1. The erection of forts.

2. For magazines and arsenals.

3. For dock-yards.

4. For other useful buildings such as post offices.

If the Constitution says that these are the 4 reasons for the government to own land, why do they need 84% of NV?

 But why does the federal government own 65 percent of all the land west of Denver and less than 2 percent of the land east of Denver?

The Government says part of it is to protect the environment, well why does the west need to be protected more than the east?  Is there another reason?

Could it be because of the energy resources there?  If the States and/or private Americas were allowed to own this land, then they could develop those resources.  And this would help lead us to energy independence and create more jobs.   So why are the progressives against this? 

POWER & CONTROL!

These are the reasons we need to get the land out of the control of the Government.

I don’t believe that the Constitution allows for the Government to own all this land.  So what should they do with it?  Why not sell it back to the American people?  It’s possible to pay-off the National Debt, or a big chunk of it with the sale of a lot of the land.  We’ve even done this before in the past.

President Andrew Jackson sold real estate in the western US in 1835 a deal that reportedly netted about $75 million.  Jackson was able to use the proceeds to pay-off the entire national debt.

But the progressives in power (right & left) would rather see the country default and go bankrupt, than take this type of measure to help fix the problem.  When a nation is severely in debit, it ought to sell off some of its assets to balance its books. There are many Americans who would gladly buy up some of that government land, which could then become productive property.

I’m not sure of how much more land the Government has purchased since 2004, but I’m sure they have.

Government is staging a full-fledged control assault on this country, and the people are asleep.
