It
takes a Dot Gov to 'Raise Awareness'

"The
Wildlands Project." The phrase is familiar to many and elicits a
roll of the eyes, and perhaps a comment referring to "the black
helicopter crowd," from others. These reactions should be
perceived more as a lack of knowledge rather than anything demeaning,
for language can be deceiving. Children know, early on, the advantages
to having an agenda that employs such tactics. How many times has the
cookie been acquired by using the 'divide and conquer' plan involving
asking one parent who's likely to say, "Ask your mother/father. If
he/she says it's all right, yes." Of course, that opens wide the
door to telling the other parent, "Mom/Dad said it's okay with them
if I have a cookie." Language has been used to deceive and win an
enticing prize. It also teaches the youngster that 'sleight of hand' can
be a manipulative tool.
Sometimes
it takes a government source to prove to folks that "The Wildlands
Project" was not merely dreamt up by those often dubbed by media as "conspiracy
theorists." To that end, I refer you to the following Google
Advanced Search results.
When
your search for "Wildlands Project" results is limited to each
of these domains, the numerical results are of interest.
Broaden your search for just the word "Wildlands" and the
results, plus the context in which they appear, become far more
numerous and disconcerting.

Please
don't take my word for this. Pick your favorite search engine(s) and
cast your net. What you'll hook will be sobering, but it is difficult to
deny the truth when you've caught it yourself!
