Op-ed:
Government Land Grabs: The Truth Exposed - Part 4
By: Diane Sori
In Part 1 of our series, “Government Land Grabs: The Truth Exposed,”
my Right Side Patriots radio partner Diane Sori and I laid out the groundwork
behind the federal government’s seizing of land in the western United States
over decades of a take an inch…take a mile agenda used by administrations from
both sides of the aisle and how the current regime has labeled PRIVATE
landholdings in the west as an “ACUTE” problem.
We were able to convey
that information thanks to congressman Rob Bishop’s discovery of long buried
emails and documents which help expose NEW land grabs in progress along with
this regime’s plans, via the BLM and the Department of the Interior pressuring
Obama to use his pen and the Antiquities Act of 1906 to not only steal land
from private landholders but, to move some 140 MILLION acres (an area the size
of the states of Colorado and Wyoming…COMBINED) from “mixed use” to “TREASURED
LANDS” status thus rendering it completely off limits to American citizens.
In “Government Land Grabs: Exposing
The Truth Part 2,” we proved that the seizing of western
lands has virtually NOTHING to do with the liberal call to “protect the
environment” and virtually EVERYTHING to do with government control of
natural resources in order to control the people.
The maps we show
eliminate the possibility of coincidence in that those lands are rife with
coal, oil shale and other fossil fuel deposits that the current regime wants to
keep off limits to private landholders and we provided evidence of how Obama
and his ilk want to keep us dependent on foreign sources for our energy needs.
Again it’s no
coincidence that the maps correspond directly with the government land grabs in
the western United States. We also provide in that article, details as to whom
the recipients are of our most volatile natural resources. It’s stunning to say
the least.
Now in this, our final
part of this investigative series, we will floor you with a few more resources
that lie under the ground of the western lands being seized, unconstitutionally
by our federal government and how those other resources play into your lives,
because of the agenda and ideology of the Obama regime, in a most disturbing
and dire way.
Of the other resources
buried beneath the hijacked lands in the west is none other than helium. Yes,
helium and if you think it’s just for party balloons…think again but, before we
get into the true and most disturbing part of this, you need to know a few
things about our helium reserves.
Our government has a
long history of maintaining control over our deposits of helium and, from 1929
until 1960, the U.S. government was the ONLY domestic producer of the gas at
which point, the Helium Act OF 1960 directed the Secretary of the Interior to
ACQUIRE and conserve helium using funds ‘borrowed’ from the United States
Treasury.
As demand for helium
increased through the 1990’s,‘incentives’ were offered to PRIVATE natural
gas producers to distill the gas and sell it to the GOVERNMENT but
privatization of the process was retooled in 1996 when, guess who…The
Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) was put in charge
of providing crude helium to refiners, regulating helium withdrawal from the
federal pipeline…the very same government entity also in charge of grabbing
western lands and running private landholders OFF the land. Interesting isn’t
it?
For a decade, between
1996 and 2006, congress was able to maintain privatization of the helium in our
western states, selling off vast reserves of it until April of 2008, just scant
months before the nomination of Obama when Department of the Interior, (the
BLM) and the National Research Council formed a committee to revisit the issue
of selling off most of the reserve. Then, in August of 2008, just before
Obama’s election, the US Dept. of the Interior Inspector General's Office of
Inspections and Office of Investigations found the BLM helium program
vulnerable to fraud, abuse and large losses stemming from its
less-than-arms-length relationship with a contractor representing several large
helium refiners on the pipeline.
Compare the image above
where everything in red is controlled by the federal government to the other
map image that shows uranium deposits (and anywhere one finds uranium, one also
finds helium) to see they match almost to a tee.
So, why is it now, that
the corrupt BLM is tasked with the seizing of more and more western land where
oil shale, coal, natural gas, uranium and…HELIUM are situated? Yes, it’s a
simple scientific fact that where one finds natural gas and uranium one also
finds helium (and other resources) buy why would this regime be so hell bent on
controlling HELIUM of all things?
Remember…they who
control the land control the resources on and under it. Those who control the
resources control the energy from its extraction to its production to its price
and to its consumption. When the government controls our most important energy
deposits…it controls the people and a key component of controlling the people,
to this regime specifically, is control over the lives of the people as in who
gets to keep on living at all.
That’s correct…HELIUM as
well as a few other resources found widely on the lands the Obama regime is
making inaccessible to any and all private landholders plays a KEY role in…
OBAMACARE!!!
YES ObamaCare...for under the grounds already owned or
currently wanted by the BLM sits our nation's deposits of both helium and
vanadium...and while most think of helium as just the stuff that fills balloons
and probably no one ever heard of vanadium, both are critical to nuclear power
plant operations and to the medical industry, and therefore critical to
ObamaCare with its dreaded 'death panels.'
Helium (there are two forms of
helium, helium-3 and helium-4) is commercially recovered from natural gas
deposits in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Kansas with some of the richest
resources under the Texas Panhandle...under land the feds want. And there are
helium extraction operations on BLM land in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming, and
BLM processing 'facilities' in Texas and Kansas. And here's something of
interest, the Federal Helium Stockpile is located outside Amarillo Texas, is
owned by U.S. citizens but is inaccessible to all but the feds...hmmm...
Helium-3 is primarily used as
cooling medium for our nuclear reactors and thus comes under the control of the
federal government. So while it's bad enough that Obama has put a moratorium on
building new nuclear power plants, just remember that even if NO moratorium was
in place he could just order the processing to be stopped on lands where BLM
processing plants are located.
Controlled by the feds...and if
that's NOT enough to raise your ire just consider helium's other uses in
high-tech applications like in microchip and flat panel display manufacturing;
in particle accelerators and fiber optics manufacturing; in providing a
nitrogen-free, oxygen-rich controlled atmosphere for deep-sea divers trying to
avoid 'the bends;' as a protective gas for welding applications and growing
silicon and germanium crystals; for lifting (blimps); and for heat
transfers...but the most critical of applications could affect one's very life
and it now comes under the control of the ObamaCare 15 fat-cat DC bureaucrats
with the power to decide who lives and who dies...who gets medical treatment
and who does NOT.
Let
me explain. The health care
industry uses helium-4 to detect, diagnose, and treat many diseases and
conditions (heart, asthma, cancer, and burn patients for example), and
is used
in the field of cryogenics with its primary use as a coolant for both
the
magnets in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)...as in MRI machines used to
detect disease or injury...and for cooling laboratory cryostats used to
freeze tissue
during surgery (frozen sections) so it can be used for diagnosis. And
there's
NO substitute for helium-4 in any cryogenic applications...period. Now
think
who needs MRIs and surgery the most...except for those injured in an
accident
it's the elderly and the seriously ill. Now under ObamaCare the use of
MRIs and
the amount of surgical procedures allowed...both dependent on
helium...has been
cut. Cut MRI testing...cut the number of surgical procedures...or simply
cut the supply of helium needed for both...and you basically have just
doomed
the elderly and the seriously ill to death.
And so the culling of the herd
continues.
Even if the feds were to privatize
helium what with current government reserves running low, and with delays in
new helium gathering plants coming online because of restrictions on helium
withdrawals from the government’s gas pipelines...new areas where helium is
found must be grabbed up post haste...areas like in Colorado and Texas. And
isn't it a happy coincidence that a helium gathering plant is being built in
Wyoming on BLM owned land.
And with new sources of helium now being found under NOT yet
acquired but wanted lands, the feds are working fast to grab up said lands. And
let's NOT forget that by doing so they would in essence be privatized something
for themselves that we could NOT access, thus the feds can control the price of
even the helium sold to hospitals.
So as the demand for helium grows
for medical applications and concerns about adequate supplies increase, the
feds need to grab up as much helium rich land as possible and then they get to
decide who is worthy of using some of that supply... nice huh...and before I
forget, helium deposits gotten through natural gas deposits most time sit
alongside uranium deposits...a two-for-one punch land grab wise.
Now
as for vanadium...American Vanadium is developing the only 'vanadium only' mine
in the US (usually vanadium is mined along with uranium) and 'surprise'...it's
on BLM land south of Eureka, Nevada...again a mine on 'supposedly'
environmentally protected lands.
And
while vanadium as a metal is important in nuclear applications and as a steel
additive, it's vanadium's medicinal uses where vanadium will be effected by
ObamaCare. Used in the treatment of diabetes, low blood sugar, high
cholesterol, heart disease, and a number of other medical conditions as well as
a nutritional supplement...and with the only vanadium mine in the US on BLM
land...if too many people need vanadium-based medicines, rationing of it cannot
be far behind...rationing courtesy again of the 15 ObamaCare bureaucrats
deciding who is worthy of said medicine and who is NOT...and guess who the NOTS
will be...the elderly for sure.
And
the culling of the herd continues on yet a again.
So
now you know there's more to these federal land grabs than trespassing cattle
and endangered tortoises, and some of it...if NOT all of it...is for very
nefarious purposes. And while it's bad enough that the feds have kicked
Americans off American land, these land grabs are the federal government doing
what they do best...lying and subterfuge that only the Benghazi scandal can
match.
