Research indicates there is much more going on than what appears in Pombo’s HR 3824 TESRA

By Rodney Stubbs

First, the thesis: ESA-1, a thirty year experience in hell for impacted property owners; Second, the antithesis: a provocative document that appears to enrage the enviro’s as it “Rips the Heart out of the Endangered Species Act”. The Synthesis of all his puffery is being implemented as we live and breathe by setting the stage for actions being implemented by the Commission on Sustainable Development. We headed for a predetermined conclusion that will destroy America ! Will the evidence of this prophecy appear when a mass exodus of Members of Congress resigns their seats to make way for a new crop of elected officials?

The Competitive Enterprise Institute reported on September 25, 2005, that the Bush Administration officials are meeting in Vienna to discuss a United Nations plan the globalize environmental regulation known as the “Strategic Approach to Global Management of Chemicals” or SAICM. Going back and looking at HR 3824 TESRA we found that the power to implement is granted to the Secretary of the Interior and within one year will develop a process utilizing science as a means of implementing the act. HR 3824 TESRA is the “soft law” language (that is why the private property groups are jumping up and down yelling “we won” “we won”) and the implementation of SAICM.

Simply stated, what kills endangered bugs, birds, and bears? Answer: Chemicals!! Who uses chemicals? Everyone!! So, now re-read ESA I amended by ESA II and you have what is best described implementation of a “Corporatist” paradigm. A Corporatist form of governance is a dictatorship. In Oregon , Professor Martha J. Bianco wrote extensively about the process in her report, “The Politics of Implementation: Oregon’s Statewide Transportation Planning Rule.” Government, with all its infinite wisdom is only as strong as its weakest link. The weakest link in government is the stupidest bureaucrat in the regulatory food chain. That is why our founding fathers invented a republic form of government to guard against the stupidest by empowering the people to look over and watch out for their interests.

The Corporatist paradigm according the Bianco, “…centers around two of the most volatile social issues: mobility and freedom.” Is that not also the experience and the purpose of the Endangered Species Act, and if so, should the Act in any form continue to exist if its purpose is to overthrow the sovereignty of the United States ?

Remember that the Endangered Species Act is rooted in the CITIES treaty. Therefore many non-governmental organizations have the duty and responsibility to enforce the act in accordance with those treaties. If the regulatory scheme of SAICM is implemented, then which court prevails? Which Court prevails over the decisions on disputes? How can a private property possibly prevail in a case that will cost more than the value of land? As far as industry is concerned, they are the big losers for promoting this new form of governance and in the end they will lose as their customer base begins to evaporate under the burden of regulations. As far as the elected officials are concerned, they are the big winners. They are responsible for the law yet and they can retire tomorrow with a handsome pension. The property owners depending on their location will lose the economic assets representing years of hard work. The biggest losers will be the American people. They will suffer at the hands of anyone and everyone who envies our way of life and seeks to transfer our wealth to other poor people of the World.

The following multi-year program outlines the work of the Commission on Sustainable Development. In Oregon , it is already being implemented through every state agency. Already privately owned businesses can no longer compete for government contracts. That work is being performed by Non governmental organizations costing private owners of small business to fail on a level comparable to the shut down of the Oregon timber industry by the advent of the Northern Spotted Owl.

If anyone thinks for a moment that this is about Africa , then you better reassess your situation.
