HOW MARKETS BEHAVE RIGHT BEFORE THEY CRASH

This Is Exactly How Markets Behave Right Before They Crash...   Michael Snyder, on January 14th, 2015     When the stock market starts to behave like a roller coaster, that is a sign that a major move to the downside is right around the corner.  As I have stated repeatedly, when the market is very calm it tends to go up.  But when the waters start getting really choppy, that is a clear indication that stocks are about to plummet.  In early 2015, volatility has returned to Wall Street in a big way.  At one point on Tuesday, the Dow was up more than 300 points,  but then the bottom dropped out.  From the peak on Tuesday, the Dow plunged nearly 700 points in less than 30 hours before recovering more than 100 points at the end of the day.  The Dow has now experienced the longest losing streak that we have seen in 3 months, but that is not that big of a deal.  Of much greater concern is the huge price swings that we have been seeing. Remember, the three largest single day stock market increases in history were right in the middle of the financial crisis of 2008.  So if stocks go up 400 points tomorrow, that is NOT a good sign.  What we really need is a string of days when stocks move less than 100 points in either direction.  If stocks keep making dramatic moves up and dramatic moves down, history tells us that it is only a matter of time before they collapse.  Any student of stock market history knows that what we are witnessing right now is exactly how markets behave right before they crash. Examine the chart below very carefully.  It is a chart of the CBOE Volatility Index from 2006 to 2008.  As you can see, volatility was very low as stocks soared during 2006.  Then things started to get a bit choppy in 2007, and investors should have recognized this as a warning sign.  Finally, you can see that the VIX absolutely skyrocketed during the financial crisis of 2008… Looking back, it seems so obvious.  So why aren’t more people alarmed this time around? As CNN is reporting, the VIX is up almost 20 percent so far in 2015… Volatility has returned with a vengeance this January. The Dow has been moving up or down by at least 100 points nearly every day this year.  CNNMoney’s Fear & Greed Index is showing signs of Extreme Fear again. And a volatility gauge known as the VIX, which is one of the components in our index, is up nearly 20% so far this year. Meanwhile, there are lots of other signs of trouble on the horizon as well. For example, the price of copper got absolutely hammered on Wednesday.  As I write this, it has fallen more than 5 percent and it has not been this low in more than five years.  In financial circles, it is referred to as “Dr. Copper” because it is such a valuable indicator regarding where the global economy is heading next. For example, in 2008 the price of copper was close to $4.00  before plummeting to below $1.50 by the end of that year as the global financial system fell apart.  Now the price of copper is plunging again, and many analysts are becoming extremely concerned… One growing global worry is the steep decline in copper, which is used in many products and is often viewed as good gauge on how China is doing. The price of copper hit its lowest price since 2009 on Wednesday at $2.46. Copper is down nearly 7% this week alone. Meanwhile, the recession (some call it a depression) in Europe continues to get even worse, and the euro continues to plunge. On Wednesday, the euro declined to the lowest level that we have seen in nine years, and Goldman Sachs is now saying that the euro and the U.S. dollar could be at parity by the end of next year. That is amazing considering the fact that it took $1.60 to get one euro back in July 2008. Personally, I am fully convinced that Goldman Sachs is right on this one.  I believe that the euro is going to all-time lows that we have never seen before, and this is going to create massive problems for the eurozone. With all of these signs of trouble out there, the smart money is rapidly pulling their money out of stocks and putting it into government bonds.  This usually happens when a crisis is looming.  It is called a “flight to safety”, and it pushes government bond yields down. On Wednesday, the yield on 10 year U.S. Treasuries fell beneath the important 1.8 percent barrier.  We will probably see it go even lower in the months ahead. As the rest of the world economy crumbles, the remainder of the globe is looking to America to be the rock in the storm.  For example, the following quote that I found today comes from a British news source… ‘The global economy is running on a single engine… the American one,’ the World Bank’s chief economist, Kaushik Basu, said. ‘This does not make for a rosy outlook for the world.’ Well, they may not want to rely on us too much, because there are plenty of signs that our economy is slowing down, too.  For example, we learned today that December retail sales were down 0.9% from a year ago, and this is being called “an unmitigated disaster“.  Americans were supposed to be taking the money that they were saving on gasoline and spending it, but that apparently is not happening. Back on October 29th, I wrote an article entitled “From This Day Forward, We Will Watch How The Stock Market Performs Without The Fed’s Monetary Heroin“.  In that article, I warned that the end of quantitative easing could have dire consequences for the financial system as bubbles created by the Fed began to burst.  And that is precisely what is happening.  In fact, many analysts are now pinpointing the end of QE as the exact moment when our current troubles began.  For instance, check out this excerpt from a CNBC article that was published on Wednesday… “Stuff happens when QE ends,” said Peter Boockvar, chief market analyst at The Lindsey Group. “It’s no coincidence that the market started going into a higher volatility mode.  It’s no coincidence that the decline in commodity prices accelerated,.  It’s no coincidence that the yield curve started flattening when QE ended.”  Indeed, the increase in volatility and its effect on prices across the capital market spectrum was closely tied to the Fed ending the third round of QE in October. We are moving into a time of great danger for Wall Street and for the global economy as a whole.  If we continue to see a tremendous amount of volatility, history tells us that it is only a matter of time before the markets implode. Hopefully, you will be ready when that happens.

What In The World Just Happened In Switzerland?

What In The World Just Happened In Switzerland?

 

Central banks lie.  That is what they do. 

Not too long ago, the Swiss National Bank promised that it would defend the euro/Swiss franc currency peg with the “utmost determination”.  But on Thursday, the central bank shocked the financial world by abruptly abandoning it. 

More than three years ago, the Swiss National Bank announced that it would not allow the Swiss franc to fall below 1.20 to the euro, and it has spent a mountain of money defending that peg.  But now that it looks like the EU is going to launch a very robust quantitative easing program, the Swiss National Bank has thrown in the towel.  It was simply going to cost way too much to continue to defend the currency floor.  So now there is panic all over Europe. 

On Thursday, the Swiss franc rose a staggering 30 percent against the euro, and the Swiss stock market plunged by 10 percent.  And all over the world, investors, hedge funds and central banks either lost or made gigantic piles of money as currency rates shifted at an unprecedented rate.  It is going to take months to really measure the damage that has been done. 

Meanwhile, the euro is in greater danger than ever.  The euro has been declining for months, and now the number one buyer of euros (the Swiss National Bank) has been removed from the equation.  As things in Europe continue to get even worse, expect the euro to go to all-time record lows. 

In addition, it is important to remember that the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s began when Thailand abandoned its currency peg.  With this move by Switzerland set off a European financial crisis?  Of course this is hardly the first time that we have seen central banks lie. 

In the United States, the Federal Reserve does it all the time.  The funny thing is that most people still seem to trust what central banks have to say.  But at some point they are going to start to lose all credibility. Financial markets like predictability.  And gigantic amounts of money had been invested based on the repeated promises of the Swiss National Bank to use “unlimited amounts” of money to defend the currency floor. 

Needless to say, there are a lot of people in the financial world that feel totally betrayed by the Swiss National Bank today.  The following comes from an analysis of the situation by Bruce Krasting…

Thomas Jordan, the head of the SNB has repeated said that the Franc peg would last forever, and that he would be willing to intervene in “Unlimited Amounts” in support of the peg. Jordan has folded on his promise like a cheap suit in the rain. When push came to shove, Jordan failed to deliver. 

The Swiss economy will rapidly fall into recession as a result of the SNB move. The Swiss stock market has been blasted, the currency is now nearly 20% higher than it was a day before. Someone will have to fall on the sword, the arrows are pointing at Jordan. 

The dust has not settled on this development as of this morning. I will stick my neck out and say that the failure to hold the minimum rate will result in a one time loss for the SNB of close to $100B. That’s a huge amount of money. It comes to 20% of the Swiss GDP!

Most experts are calling this an extremely bad move by the Swiss National Bank.
But in the end, they may have had little choice.

The euro is falling apart, and the Swiss did not want to be married to it any longer.  Unfortunately, when any marriage ends the pain can be enormous.  The following comes from CNBC…

How do you know you’re looking at a bad marriage?
Well, if one or both of the spouses can’t wait to get out as soon as the smallest crack in the door opens, you have a pretty good clue. 

Something like that just happened in Europe as we learned the real reason why so many traders were still invested in the euro: They had nowhere else to go. 

As the Swiss National Bank unlocked the doors on its cap on trading euros for Swiss francs, the rush to exit the euro was faster than one of those French bullet trains.

But this move has not been bad for everyone.  In fact, for many of those that live in Switzerland but work in neighboring countries what happened on Thursday was very fortuitous…

“I heard the news this morning. I’m so happy!” Vanessa, who refused to give her last name, told AFP outside of one of many mobbed exchange offices in Geneva. 

She has reason to be extatic: she is one of some 280,000 people working in Switzerland but living and paying bills in eurozone countries France, Germany or Italy. 

These so-called “frontaliers”, or border-crossers, are the biggest winners in Thursday’s Swiss franc surge, seeing their incomes jump 30 percent in the blink of an eye.

In normal times, things like this very rarely happen. But in times of crisis, things can change very rapidly.  We are moving into a time of great volatility in global financial markets, and great volatility is often a sign that a great crash is coming.

This move by the Swiss National Bank is just the beginning.  Expect more desperate moves on the global economic chessboard in the days ahead.  But in the end, none of those moves is going to prevent what is coming.  And one of these days, another extremely important currency peg is going to end. 

Right now, the Chinese have tied their currency very tightly to the U.S. dollar.  This has helped to artificially inflate the value of the dollar.  Unfortunately, as Robert Wenzel has noted, someday the Chinese could suddenly pull the rug out from under our currency, and that would be really bad news for us…
 

MODERN LEGISLATION LEADS TO DRACONIAN THEFT

Little by Little, Modern Legislation Leads to Draconian Theft

By Perpetual Assets, on December 17th, 2014

From Perpetual Assets


The threats to retirement accounts keep surfacing. Like anything else, the people that heed the warnings will be ahead of those that do not. This impending crisis reminds me of the 2007 pre sub prime debacle. The signals were present and warnings could be heard throughout the alternative media space.

Today is no different. The next collapse in confidence is just around the corner. The world is in a fiscal crisis. Do you think the ~$17 Trillion dollar retirement and pension piggybank will be safe? The bailout fund needed in the next crisis will be multiples larger than the famed TARP bailout in 2008.

If you ask most Americans they will tell you they don’t even expect to ever get all their pension or 401k. As a facilitator of the LLC IRA, a unique way to jailbreak an IRA and take it off grid, I am told by countless clients that they always viewed their pension or 401k as a phantom asset- something they would be lucky if they ever fully received. The system has done a miraculous job deceiving the public about retirement accounts. This will make an overhaul or even outright theft of these accounts not only possible but generally accepted in the face of a systemic fiscal meltdown.

We have been trained to accept a certain false truth regarding these accounts. Not only have we been conditioned to believe that we don’t own these accounts, but we have also been forced into a narrow scope of investments- all of which prop up the broken system. Contrary to popular knowledge, we can jailbreak these accounts and take the assets off grid, allowing almost any investment imaginable- with qualified funds in an IRA. The LLC IRA is the solution to government overregulation of IRAs.

The below excerpt from SHTFplan highlights some of the new legislation affecting the private pension industry. The video from Daniel Vision Victory below paints a great picture of the deception involved in these accounts. We couldn’t agree more with the risks. We are also focused on a solution- one that doesn’t cost you half of the account in taxes and fees.

At Perpetual Assets we provide the most effective solution available to those people with money locked up in these accounts, the LLC IRA. To clarify- any IRA or former 401k should be eligible for this platform, however only about 15% of national 401k plans allow in service withdrawals, whereby you can rollover your balance to a self directed individual IRA platform while still employed. Therefore, to take Daniel’s message from the video even further- 85% of 401ks are not only scams, but slush funds of stolen, completely frozen capital.

From SHTFplan.com

“The $1.01 trillion spending bill being moving through Congress right now includes some new provisions that may come as a shock to millions of American pension holders. In a bipartisan deal that also included leaders of unions and retirement fund management companies, pension recipients who depend on the money promised to them during their working years may see significant cuts to their monthly disbursements.

There have been Senate hearings, exploratory committees and rumors over the years, but nothing had ever really been legislated, so most Americans simply ignored it as another one of those “conspiracy theories.” Until now.”

Fear Porn:   Why Do We Keep Falling For It?

 

Posted on December 24, 2014 by Jim White         

Once again, the collapse is near. But, have we heard it all before?

Before I get to the reason that I decided to write this article, let me be clear on one thing. This is not meant to embarrass any of my colleagues in Alternative Media, and it is for that reason that I will only reference headlines and not names unless the headline contains a named individual and needs to be included for clarity.  I assure you that I am not shaming anyone, for I am in the mix every day and know just how hard it is to wade through mountains of data and make sense of it all. So I have nothing but love for my fellow freedom fighters.  I just wish that they would do more web searches like the ones I did.

As we come to the end of this year (2014) just as we have at the end of the three previous years, doomsday predictions about the following year’s unavoidable collapse are beginning to surface. As I begin to read about all of the calamity that we are about to suffer in the next 370 days or so, a familiar voice rings in my head telling me that I have heard all of this before. So, I decided to start doing some web searches.

What I found was that yes, indeed, I have heard all of this before.  Are we going to suffer a life-changing economic collapse in 2015? I do not know, for I have no gift of prophecy. Perhaps we will suffer a collapse, and perhaps the masters of this earth can keep things going for another decade or two. Again, I have no crystal ball. What I do know is that a certain group of people come out with articles, books and television appearances (sometimes all three) during this time of year, each and every year, like a timer went off somewhere.

Not all of my examples are of articles published this time of year, but there are enough of them. My question to those reading this is how many times do these people need to be wrong before they are written off as bad researchers, and why do the masses keep believing the “fear-porn” year after year?

As I stated previously, I decided to do some web searches about economic collapse predictions. I searched the years from 2012 to next year, 2015. What I found didn’t really surprise me because, as I stated, that little voice in my head was telling me that something was amiss. Anyways, here are some of the headlines that I dug up. I will begin in 2012 and move to present times.

2012 Predictive Headlines:

Well, that covers the last 3 years pretty thoroughly, and I only linked from the first couple pages of my search. I am certain that one could find many, many more given sufficient time. Now, let’s move on to a time-frame for what is potentially coming, and not what has already been proven false. All of the following articles have been published within the last week.

2015 Predictive Headlines:

- Billionaire Tells Americans to Prepare For ‘Financial Ruin’ – 24 Dec 2014

Again, I’m not trying to zing anyone in particular with this article. I just wish all of these pundits would admit that, like myself, you DO NOT KNOW when the financial collapse will occur. That is evident by all of the inaccurate headlines that I have just posted.

So, what’s the solution? It’s simple, really. Do your own research, stop buying the fear-porn and prepare for anything.

                        As suspected, the proposed CSKT Water Compact is a take-over in disguise

 

 

 

 

 

* Recently released Executive Summary outlining the CSKT Water Compact fraud can be linked below

 

In an ongoing investigation into the attempt by our "Overlords" to basically take over all water in NW Montana, new information has surfaced that lays bare the scam that is the CSKT Water Compact. 

I have done numerous interviews, posted numerous articles, co-produced 2 commercials and I am working on a mini-documentary exposing the fraudulent, Constitution violating, CSKT Water Compact. 

I have linked the 2 commercials below, but recommend visiting the following website for all of the latest information:  Western Montana Water Rights

Former Senator Verdell Jackson

Would you believe that the goal of the Compact is to destroy irrigation on the CSKT Reservation by moving irrigation water to instream flow? 

 

That strategy is proved on page 4 of the attached letter which was sent to the President of the Senate and the speaker of the House on January 12.  This letter written by Richard Simms, a water attorney from New Mexico who has taken many water cases to the US Supreme Court during the last 25 years, provides answers to many of the questions I have been asking and has confirmed my research. 

 

The Compact is not about providing more water to the Reservation to expand irrigation, but is about placing all of the water in Western Montana under control of the CSKT Tribal Government. 

 

Off reservation water rights and the Water Management Board on the Reservation are two “water control” components of the Compact that have never been granted to a tribe in a court or in a Compact. 

 

Approval of this Compact would violate our constitution and erode our state sovereignty by yielding to the threat of 10,000 water claims to be filed by the tribe and the promises that our existing rights will be protected in the 1511 page Compact written by hydrologists and lawyers. 

 

The Montana General Stream Adjudication process by the Montana Water Court has been underway since 1979 and has already confirmed the water rights of over 200,000 Montana citizens.  It is legally and administratively capable of confirming all types of water rights and processing the 10,000 additional claims that may be filed.

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS WRONG WITH THE COPS IN AMERICA????

Albuquerque Cop Shoots First

 Asks Questions Later

Turns Out The Person He Shot Was A Cop (VIDEO)

 

January 13, 2015        

By: Cassandra Rules | Free Thought Project -

 

 

Albuquerque, NM  – Albuquerque Police Department’s five months without a shooting has come to an end as an Albuquerque police officer remains in critical condition after being shot by a fellow officer on Friday.

 

The unnamed officer was shot while undercover during a drug operation to bust two men for $60 worth of meth.  Another officer sustained minor injuries, but information on how has not been released.

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO..... 

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=FFxgGwPTcZE

Police have not released the names of any of the officers who were involved, but criminal complaints filed in Metropolitan Court against the two targets of the investigation identify the undercover officers as detectives Holly Garcia and Jacob Grant, The Albuquerque Journal reported.

 

According to the criminal complaint, Garcia and Grant met a suspect to buy $60 worth of “shards,” another term for meth. The suspects got into Garcia’s car and she drove them to an Econo Lodge Motel.  One of the suspects went into a room and returned to Garcia’s vehicle with the meth.

 

Garcia then went to a McDonald’s parking lot and gave the signal to begin the bust, the shooting took place shortly after.

 

Witnesses report that they heard around five shots, and the officer was shot multiple times, but the exact number has not yet been released.

 

Police have not yet come forward with any explanation as to why an officer opened fire, but it appears as though both of the suspects were unarmed.  The pair was taken into custody on drug trafficking charges following the shooting.

 

Media, police, and citizens are grieving and expressing condolences, but what they are not doing is discussing why this really happened.

 

We don’t need all the details to be able to safely assume the undercover officer was not a threat to their peers, yet they were shot anyway.  Media is discussing this event using words like “tragedy” and “accident” while ignoring the fact that this is a symptom of a much larger problem, and it seems that an officer once again shot someone who posed no threat to them.

 

This trigger happy officer, who opened fire and shot someone who posed no danger to them, multiple times, is “devastated” according to Police Chief Gorden Eden. The lieutenant is currently on administrative leave and “getting support” through the department’s counseling services.

 

Police even went so far as to confiscate a witness’s cell phone after he had recorded some of the incident.

 

While brutality is clearly a nationwide issue, the APD has claimed some major notoriety for their badge abuse. Since 2010, the department has had 41 officer involved shootings, 27 of which were fatal.

 

In April, the department was accused of using excessive force by the Justice Department after the frightening murder of the homeless James Boyd when he was approached for “illegally camping.”  Boyd was shot by an officer who had discussed his plans to shoot him in the penis hours prior.  Their own police chief openly admitted that he is stuck with officers who should not be on the force.

 

Had the person this officer mistakenly shot, under the exact same circumstances, been one of the suspects- we would likely already know their entire history, the history of all relatives, and have been spoon fed some wild tale about the officer “fearing for their life” and having no other choice.  The shooting would be written off and ultimately swept away and forgotten by the media.

 

Police and police apologists have not victim blamed the unnamed officer.

 

So was this a “tragic accident” as they say, or evidence of the systemic lack of care taken by reckless officers as they reach for their weapons?

 

Perhaps we should call it what it is - one more victim of our militarized police and the disastrous drug war.  Nobody is safe, not even those standing behind the thin blue line.

USA to purchase Russia's Energomash rocket engines after 2016

MOSCOW, January 16. /TASS/. Russia's manufacturer NPO Energomash is to provide 60 new RD-181 rocket engines for US company Orbital Sciences, the Izvestia newspaper reported on Friday citing the president of RKK Energia space corporation. 

A contract for the delivery of 20 rocket engines has already been signed, says Vladimir Solntsev, who participated in the deal representing Energomash, as he is the executive director of the group. 

“We are committed to deliver 60 engines. Three options have been signed, each for 20 engines. There is a firm contract for 20 engines, which we have started fulfilling, as we are due to supply the first two engines next June,” Solntsev told the newspaper in an interview.

*********************************************************************

Sooooo... the US is choosing to use a rocket (the Antares), which is just barely a step above the rockets used for the Apollo missions back in the stone age of space travel, to send payloads to ISS.  (and god knows what else). They are choosing to pay $1 Billion dollars- $1,000,000,000- to Russia for rocket engines that are barely two steps forward of the engines they built to go to the moon.  Now, don't go all techie on me and try to tell me all the specs that make either of these rockets "high tech" because it's all bullshit.  Both employ technology that has barely made an advance in 40 years- one booster nozzle, two? three? four?  Who cares!  It's still basically putting 4 model T Ford engines in a chassis and calling it "New".

And what about those sanctions against Russia?   Is this not a perfect case of "Do as I say, not as I do"?  What?  The sanctions are just for things that the US doesn't need or want?  Interesting.

Personally I find it very hard to believe the official story (well, truth be told, any of them!) of NASA and their space program that has been beyond ridiculous from it's inception to it's demise.

In the immortal words of Julius Levinson in Independence Day:

"You didn't think they actually spent ten thousand dollars for a hammer and thirty thousand for a toilet seat, did you?" 

I do believe that the US just paid Russia $30,000 for a toilet seat and that they are getting rid of the competition in their private little plumbing business deal.

     
                                       Must have a thick layer of gold plate on the entire potty.

 

  

Infant Status

Why do people consistently assume the birth registration is about them? Maybe the self-centeredness of the ego shows its true colors when faced with this simple fact:

The registration of birth is NOT about the “baby”, it is about the “INFANT”.

The “INFANT” is not the “living man” ….the mom took the “baby” home from the “hospital” but “abandoned” the “INFANT” … look at the hospital birth record … the record does not say “baby’s footprints” it states “INFANT FOOTPRINTS” … the registration of birth never registers a “baby” it registers a “vessel” (INFANT) to receive the “spirit of life” much like a Man or Woman is nothing without “the spirit of life” or “God” … the living man “animates” the “vessel” or “infant” while in that world without becoming part of that world. Read JOB 32:21-22.

When someone comes to one with a “claim”, they are actually looking for the INFANT in the last known location which is One because One is using the “property” of the “INFANT” so One must know where the INFANT is which is just a “footprint symbol” denoting its existence, which is found in the hospital records or provided as infant is now age of majority.

But if One “withholds” that information, under International Maritime Law, that “INFANT” will be “presumed dead” (inactive) and One now becomes “executor de son tort” over the “decedent infant estate” for the concealment which is a “fraud” and since one cannot profit from one’s own fraud, One no longer has access to the “infant decedent’s estate” and One is liable for the tax on the valuation of the transfer for “decedent infant” is going to be considered “owner” of the trust where the “contractual considerations are exchanged” in the form of interests and the tax is on the “valuation of the exchange” or “transfer of taxable estate” from one “decedent” to another.

And as “owner” of the trust, the trust becomes “property” of the “decedent’s estate” and the “executor” (One) is going to be held liable under 26 USC 2002 for the tax imposed under 26 USC 2001(a).

Now, if One provided the location of the INFANT, then the “decedent without the SSN” or “corporation” would then be “owner” of the trust and CEO would then be liable under 26 USC 2002 for the tax which is “paid” out of the “decedent’s estate” or “corporate treasury” in service of the usufruct under Law of Nations, International Law, and Treaty.

And this presumption of death of the infant can be easily rebutted by pointing the one bringing the claim to the State File Number containing the original certificate of live birth, or to the Hospital Record, or provide a “footprint” which is “symbolic” of the infant’s “existence” as “the spirit” must enter the “infant” to “animate” it in the “paper world” or “give it life” and the footprint is the evidence of the “infant’s existence” but no one can ever see the “infant” for it is only a “spirit”; the footprint is a “symbol” the “infant” exists.

And once “INFANT” presence is known, INFANT automatically becomes “securities entitlement holder” as “appropriate person” and can now issue orders and commands to the “securities intermediary” for service of the “securities account” or SSN.

The “INFANT” or NAME exists to allow Man to exercise his dominion while all fruits flow to the society he helps build, only up until now, this was “reserved” for “those in the know” … now this information and knowledge belongs to all who wish to accept the simple truth:

Man is “naked owner” of his “image” and “usufruct” with respect to the fruits of that image for man will always reap what he sows. Collectively as well as individually. A world unto them-self and a light within the “holographic image” projected of the whole. So, if man projects the “aura” or “light” of a “warlike sentient race”, what do you think will be attracted to Man?

But if people wish to reject this part of the Creator’s creation, then so be it.
That is their choice; free will and all.

Utah-based group pushing to transfer federal land to states

By DJ Summers, Alaska Journal of Commerce

Doug Heaton, executive director of the American Lands Council, says he has a plan for Alaska to take control of federally owned lands within the state’s borders.
Speaking at the Jan. 9 Meet Alaska event, an annual gathering hosted by the Alaska Support Industry Alliance, Heaton laid out a legal argument for the passage of federal lands into state control and implored the audience to do what several western Lower 48 states have done and sign his petition.
The federal government controls more than 60 percent of Alaska land, and Heaton’s argument says that land should’ve been given to the state 60 year ago after entry into the union.
Heaton’s case rests on an appeal to the Federal Property and Territory Clause in Article IV, Section III of the U.S. Constitution, giving the federal government the power to “dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States.”
Predictably, this passage has been the subject of lengthy debate and has several dominant interpretations, ranging from pro-federal to pro-state. Essentially, Heaton’ argues that “dispose of” means “get rid of,” and that the U.S. government hasn’t lived up to the deal.
According to Heaton, when Alaska was admitted to the union as a state in 1959, the enabling act mentioned no such transfer of public lands into state hands, leaving the majority in Congressional control. By contrast, Hawaii’s 1959 enabling act put public lands into state ownership; Hawaii’s lands are now less than 1 percent federally controlled.
Heaton cites historical cases for examples of successful public land transfer in the past under similar circumstances. In 1828, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, all recently admitted states, petitioned the federal government for disposal of public lands, and after some court battling, received them.
Historically and economically, Alaska has many commonalities with the large western states in the Lower 48, including lengthy territorial status, vast potentiality for natural resource development, and expansive borders.
A wide disparity exists between eastern and western states in terms of land management, where western refers to the Intermountain West, Southwest, and Pacific Northwest states and eastern describes the Great Plains and everything eastward. Where less than 10 percent of eastern lands are federally controlled, over 50 percent of the western state lands are under federal management.
In Heaton’s mind, the potential economic benefits to putting millions of acres into state ownership far outweighs the benefits of the system of national parks and federal natural resource leasing options under large federal control.
Alaska is no stranger to legal scuffles over federally managed land. Rep. Don Young has been a longtime opponent of federal control of Alaska lands and vied several times to limit the authority of federal bodies over state-owned property. Last year, two court decisions established the National Parks Service’s supremacy over Alaska-controlled rivers that run through federal lands.
Other groups like the Alaska Coalition actively lobby to add more lands into Congressional control by adding acreage to federal wildlife and resource reserves, arguing that protecting the Alaska natural resources through national parks trumps private economic development.
The American Lands Council has its home in southern Utah, a state that has been at the forefront of a battle to wrest public lands into state domain for years.
