The argument on National Monuments by the likes of companies like Patagonia are simply untrue. A few years ago, we published a list of companies like Patagonia and REI which are so far left on their ideology, they are about to tip over. It was one of a handful of posts which Facebook decided […]
Over the years we have all learned that there are two sides to every story. Also over the years, we’ve learned that most of the media are against keeping public lands open and that they truly hate mining on any scale. One can only come to this conclusion based on the incredible number of […]
Recently we were contacted by some people down in the San Gabriel area of the greater Los Angeles area about some moves the USFS were proposing. The moves include making the area off limits to overnight camping and eliminating much of the parking previously reserved for hikers, miners and patrons of Bungee America. One […]
When one reviews the language in the Antiquities Act, Presidents can make monuments, but in the language of the actual act, they must be the smallest area possible.

They are both plans for a one-world style of governance for America devised by the United Nations (UN) and operates under the guise of sustainability and conservation.
