Abundance Ecology

Achieving Abundance Ecology requires a direct relationship between man and the land, Abundance Ecologist Michael Shaw said in a presentation to the Davis Mountains Trans-Pecos Heritage Association annual meeting and conference in Alpine, Texas in May 2003. Shaw speaks from experience. Shaw has received acclaim for creating an ecological oasis from a weedy 75 acre parcel on the central coast of California – what he calls " Liberty Garden."

"To release the potential productivity and diversity of a landscape, an owner must be free to engage in rigorous disturbance, and free to pursue a reasoned and creative process of trial and error. This process would be suited to the choice of each individual and the uniqueness of each property," Shaw said. The attached article includes key excerpts from Shaw's presentation to the Trans-Pecos Heritage Association.

Shortage Ecology

"Sustainable Development" is the current buzz term that represents the efforts to eliminate private property in America and to control and limit human action. Sustainable Development is a synonym for "shortage ecology." The philosophy behind the creation of shortage ecology underlies the Endangered Species Act ( ESA). The Endangered Species Act is the foundation of the land use element of Sustainable Development. [Must see video "Liberty or Sustainable Development:]

LIBERTY OR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT?

A Closer Look at Sustainable Development

What else is not sustainable under the terms of sister documents the Rio Accords and the Global Bio-Diversity Assessment Report? In their own words:

• Private property is not sustainable,
• Nor are golf courses and ski lodges;
• Irrigation, monotheism, commercial agriculture and the family unit are not "sustainable."

Is the United Nations committed to eliminating private ownership of land and natural resources? The 1976 Habitat I Conference Report stated that; "Private land ownership is also principally an instrument of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice. Public control of land use is therefore indispensable."

No Scott, freedom.  It's just a different kind of captive sustainable freedom.  Open your eyes.  :o

A link off of the Political Freedom ref...

Totalitarianism (or totalitarian rule) is a concept used to describe political systems where a state regulates nearly every aspect of public and private life. The term is usually applied to Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany,Shōwa Japan or stalinist states, such as USSR, Democratic Kampuchea, Vietnam, Mao-era and modern China and North Korea. Totalitarian regimes or movements maintain themselves in political power by means of an official all-embracing ideology and propaganda disseminated through the state-controlled mass media, a single party that controls the state, personality cults, central state-controlled economy, regulation and restriction of free discussion and criticism, the use of mass surveillance, and widespread use of terror tactics.

9/11 was an inside job -- state controlled mass media put forth the suggestion that it wasn't -

Single party (or pretend two --acting as one-- Pelosi gets power the declares "Impeachment is off the table" -continue business as usual - effectively one party.  Rigged vote- 2 bad offered choices - 2 equally bad choices with no change from the status quo.

Central State Controlled Economy - they are controlling it - look at it.

Looks much like a fascist totalitarian state to me.

I liked this part:

The essence of political freedom is the absence of coercion of one man by his fellow men. The fundamental danger to political freedom is the concentration of power. The existence of a large measure of power in the hands of a relatively few individuals enables them to use it to coerce their fellow men. Preservation of freedom requires either the elimination of power where that is possible or its dispersal where it cannot be eliminated

The founding fathers provided for that but the criminals occupying the  office now have illegally written their way around the limits - so we are going toward a totalitarian state of dictatorship.
