While we have been diverted with the government’s plan to disarm us, that fine collection of corporatists, new world order advocates and United Nations servants have been busy using the federal register to implement United Nations Bio-regions within the United States. While these land and resource thefts will be accompanied by some fluffy scripts about how they are saving the planet for future generations and how the federal government and the United Nations are the only ones able and willing to protect these vast resource rich areas, the fact is, the plans they have for these areas have nothing to do with preservation or protection. This is all about money and stealing from the states and their communities’ any and all resources that can be sold to corporations for massive profits.

Operating under the direction of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Forestry Service has begun to establish bio-regions in accordance with United Nations demands, focused now on vast areas of forests in the Pacific Southwest. These are forests that the government has made off-limits to local timber industry’s except for favored contractors, including timber stands located on private property, decimating many local communities and economies. It has also initiated the closing off of public access roads.

All of this was done supposedly to protect natural resources and prevent exploitation of the forests. Yet if you read the Federal Land Management policy, you can clearly see that preserving the forests or the land is not even an issue. This is land and resource theft from the states themselves, to profit a federally created and unlawful agency that has no real authority to do any of the things it does do.

The Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1715, 1716), as amended, supplements the Weeks Act and General Exchange Acts (sec 20.1).

Exchanges permit great flexibility to trade anything that is an interest in real property. The Forest Service can trade land, timber, oil, gas, minerals, road rights-of-way, scenic easements or development rights, buildings, power line rights-of-way, and/or other real property rights, including leasehold interests.

[Exchanges] is simply “rip & ship” policies. The word [anything], meaning anything not already specified that may be discovered to have value in the future can be extracted, mined, milled, drilled and shipped off to other places. Any profits from those activities will be garnered by the corporate contracting and federal agencies. Here is the map from the front page of The Forestry Service for Region 5 Pacific Southwest

A prime example of the devastation that has been foisted on communities under the direction of the Forestry Service, among other federal agencies, is Siskiyou county in far northern California. The result of Forestry interference in the management of timber and even in the cases of private property has been horrendous. The loss of income, property and the future of the county residents has been devastating. All the while, the surrounding forests become tinder boxes from the chronic and intentional mismanagement and neglect, making them extremely susceptible to wildfires.

Eject them from your states!

It is clear that the intent of the Forestry Service is to secure and make a profit from land, timber, oil, gas, minerals, roads right-of-way, scenic easements and anything and everything else that can be stolen from the states and their economies. Under the guise of protection and/or preservation our state lands are being ripped and shipped by another fictionally created corporation operating as an extension of the federal corporation. As they move through their plans, more communities will collapse and die off as income resources are stolen and diverted, just as Siskiyou has.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Purpose and Need for Action

The Pacific Southwest Region of the United States, United States
Department of Agriculture, along with the Sierra, Inyo, and Sequoia
National Forests, are initiating the first phase of the forest planning
process pursuant to the 2012 Forest Planning Rule. Forest plans
describe the strategic direction for management of forest resources for
the next ten to fifteen years, and are adaptive and amendable as
conditions change over time. This initial phase includes the assessment

of resource condition and trend at the bioregional and forest scales.
Although not required by the new Planning Rule, the Region will
complete a Bio-Regional Assessment to help provide a landscape scale
perspective to the required forest assessments. An assessment is the
first step in revising forest plans.
Under the 2012 Planning Rule, the planning process is continuous
and includes three stages extending over the life of the Revised Forest
Plan. The first stage is the assessment of resources, and occurs in the first year.

The second stage is the formal process required by

the National Environment Policy Act (NEPA) and includes the preparation of
Draft Environmental Impact Statements and Revised Forest Plan for
public review and comment, and the preparation of the Final
Environmental Impact Statement and Revised Forest Plan. We expect the
second stage to take two years. The third stage of the process is
monitoring and feedback, which is ongoing over the life of the revised
forest plans.
We are
committed to collaboration and to strengthening public
engagement throughout the process. Collaboration and communication
plans are being developed with the help of stakeholders at the regional
and forest levels. Each plan is unique to the needs of the people and
communities being served. The goal is not complete agreement; we seek
common context and understanding.
Regional and forest specialists have begun collecting information

to describe existing resource conditions and trends. The Bio-Regional
Assessment Report will be completed in July 2013.

Responsible Official

Regional Forester Randy Moore, Pacific Southwest Region, U.S.D.A.
Forest Service.

Nature of Decision To Be Made

Region-wide conditions
and trends will be addressed in the
Bio-
Regional Assessment to help provide a landscape scale context for the
Sierra Nevada, southern Cascades, and the Modoc Plateau. The bio-
regional Assessment Report will be completed in July 2013.

Scoping Process

At this phase of forest plan revision there is no formal Scoping
Process; however, we are committed to collaboration and to
strengthening public engagement throughout the process. A collaboration
and communication plan that was developed with the help of stakeholders is in place.

The PPJ Gazette – by Marti Oakley

Professor Jamie Davies walks an audience through the coming synthetic biology revolution. Comparing it to the personal computer revolution of the 70's and 80's, Professor Davies explains the lessons learned and how they can be applied to developing an open and constructive use of synthetic biology.

From selective breeding to genetic modification, our understanding of biology is now merging with the principles of engineering to bring us synthetic biology.
Written, animated and directed by James Hutson

What is synthetic biology (video)? It is the next step in genetic engineering - not simply copying and pasting genetic code from one life form to another, but creating entirely new genetic sequences, and thus entirely new life forms. Already, competitions like MIT's iGEM, pit universities and even high schools against one another as they develop new forms of synthetic biology using "biobricks" -open source, standardized components that can be interchanged in the designing of a synthetic life form just as engineers use standardized parts to construct machines and buildings today.

Examples of life forms created include bacteria that change color in the presence of toxins in the environment, and yeasts that are transformed into microscopic factories producing medicine.

The implications go further still - with the ability to read a human genome and understand, and as synthetic biology matures, it may be possible in the future to read one's genetic code, correct the errors that accumulate over time, and create repaired code that is reintroduced into the body via gene therapy. This would mitigate degenerative conditions stemming from aging, and all the diseases such deterioration invites, including cancers.

Professor Davies most important talking point however, centers on the DIYbio movement and how regular people are actively participating in this revolution - and how such participation is essential in keeping this technology free and available to all. He points out local DIYbio groups springing up around the world and how amateurs and professionals alike are teaming up to advance this new field of study. He surmises that the great interest in synthetic biology is the ability to actually build things (life forms in this case).

While there are threats of people abusing this technology, just as is the case with any other form of technology - just like with information technology and computing, the more people that are involved and actively participating and the more decentralized the infrastructure is, the greater our ability collectively is at defending against inevitable abuses. The greatest danger is if this technology remains in the hands of large institutions, corporations, and tangled up in a web of contrived "intellectual property" claims.

Ultimately, one walks away from Professor Davies' talk with a sense of optimism, but also with a call for action. If we are to harness the full potential of this technology, we will have to roll up our sleeves and get involved. If we fail to do this, the technology will be patented, black-boxed, copyrighted, and monopolized. The fear and real dangers produced by genetic engineering today, stems from the fact that immensely corrupt, centralized corporations monopolize the technology and willfully and consistently abuse it to expand profits and control over the very substance of life. The emerging field of DIYbio and synthetic biology gives us a chance to level the playing field and put both the technology and its benefits where they belong - in the people's hands.
