EPA LAND GRAB
The EPA is in the process, right this very minute, of
seizing control over all private land in the United States. They are
following the United Nations blueprint, their minion Gina McCarthy is
implementing it, and B. Hussein Obama is facilitating it.
Anywhere in America where it rains or where water
collects or through which water moves will now, according to this new rule
change they are implementing, be under their control. Not because Congress
or the people give them that authority or jurisdiction, but simply because
they are seizing the power. It is just another component of the
illegitimate tyranny which is oppressing the American people.
On Tuesday the agency which operates as the misnamed
Environmental Protection Agency unveiled their proposed change to the Clean Water Act, which would extend
their regulatory control to temporary wetlands and waterways.
This definition consists of any water, including
seasonal ponds, streams, runoff and collection areas and irrigation water.
It could include runoff from watering your lawn, or puddles on your own
property. They will control the presence of and can prohibit through
regulation, your right to the water and your actions regarding water upon
your own land. The opportunities for their abuse would be limitless.
Louisiana Senator David Vitter, the ranking Republican
on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, offered an
understated precautionary objection stating, “The ... rule may be one of
the most significant private property grabs in U.S. history.”
The EPA proposal would extend their authority to include
“pollution regulations” to “intermittent and ephemeral streams and
wetlands” – which are created temporarily during wet seasons or following
rainfall.
Recognize this for what it is America; The EPA is giving
themselves legal jurisdiction to replace our rights with their permissions anywhere
it rains or water exists.
They are expanding the same kind of California
fish-based drought or Nevada tortoise land restrictions or Oregon spotted
owl tyranny to every square inch of the United States.
The EPA is asserting that all ground water, whether
temporary or not and regardless of size is part of the “waters of the
United States.”
Their position is in contradiction to the Supreme Court
rulings in 2001 and 2006, restricting the EPA to flowing and sizeable,
“relatively” permanent bodies of water such as “oceans, rivers, streams and
lakes.” Of course, progressives just keep trying until they get what they
want, and they never have enough.
The proposed rule change is now in a 90 day comment
period during which they will assess just how much they can get away with,
based upon public outcry and pushback.
Senator Vitter accused the EPA of “picking and choosing”
their science and of attempting to “take another step toward outright
permitting authority over virtually any wet area in the country.” He also
warned that if approved, more private owners could expect to be sued by
“environmental groups.”
Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) shares Vitter’s concerns,
warning of potential economic damage and questioning the EPA’s motivations.
She said, “[I]t appears that the EPA is seeking to
dramatically expand its jurisdictional reach under the Clean Water Act. If
EPA is not careful, this rule could effectively give the federal government
control of nearly all of our state.
Of course, that is exactly what they are after, as well
as 49 other states and territories.
