John,



Before a few months ago, I didn’t know about them either…I do now. I “stumbled” into this “stuff” while looking for other things…Printed it out, and then did additional research about them.



You can begin this process yourself by just typing SAMAB, USMAB, etc into your search engine and then read/printout what comes up…Also, read information regarding the “Seville Strategy” (pay attention to the Statutory Framework) and the “Madrid Action Plan”…Both of these are UNESCO (UN) programs…I included some “links” below about these…There are others.



Regarding that “map”…Check out this “link” (immediately below)…On the last page of this report/testimony, you’ll see a copy of the map that created that “controversy”…That was discussed on “talk radio” and as a result, things went “low profile”…This is the "Zonation" of America using the three zone concept of the "core area", "buffer zone" and the "transition area" (where the people will live, work, etc). Keep in mind that this stuff is NOT new...



Legislative Committee on Public Lands, Nevada, Exhibit H by Les Thrasher, March 25, 2004 and “Explanation of the Biodiversity Treaty and the Wildlands Project” by Michael S. Coffman, PhD for Property Rights.org, September 13, 2003

These other “links” will get you started…

http://www.princeton.edu/~ota/disk1/1993/9325/9325.PDF





The bottom line about this stuff is that you are going to have to read them to put it into perspective…This “stuff” is not about A tree in the forest…It’s about ALL of the trees in the forest…The FOREST is the agenda…We just SEE the individual trees…The “invasive species” issue is just one TREE in the entire FOREST…Climate Change is another one…As is “biodiversity”, “green/renewable energy”, etc, etc, etc…



Later,

Jim.



PS: You’ve got a lot of reading to do…Also, let me know if those “links” don’t work…They did when I found this “stuff”…Oh yeah, this is just the “tip-of-the-iceberg” regarding the “agenda” FOREST…



PSS: Note compare the names of the staff members (analysts) in the 1993 report regarding invasive species (last link above) to the names of the staff at the Defenders of Wildlife...
