Thank you for your interesting,
insightful reply.

Carl,
I can relate to some of these
issues from events in my own "home
town"
in Florida. I know
of a man and his son who went to jail (for three
years)
for placing a sand boat ramp
on a river bank on their own property
and
of a
cousin who is trapped in
an developing urban site because 50 years
ago
the
state built high embankments
for a roadway leading to pools of water
on
his
border. Now to sell the land
and move, he must find a buyer willing
to
buy
millions of dollars of swampland
for the state so he can "trade" it
for
the
"swampland" that is for sale
by my cousin. So, since no one is yet
willing
to pay the bribe to the state,
he must live amid development and
traffic
in
a place that was once a quiet
country home.
I studied environmental biology.
I believe I have a respect for the
earth.
Yet, there are radicals or
worse, ambitious bureaucrats, who compete
for
attention and political gain
at the expense of common sense. The law
is
handed over to agencies. Individuals
no longer have what was at one
time
considered "rights" .. a traditional American asset.

From original message:
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS.
These may be
the most dangerous of all, because the Clean Water
Act,
Clean Air Act,
and a host of other environmental laws and
regulations
passed in recent
years give the government draconian, dictatorial
controls over
virtually every business and person, over every
piece
of
private property,
every car, and every action of every American in
the
US. Even
as thousands of murderers and rapists are turned loose
by
our
justice system
each year on technicalities, room is being made in
our
jails for honest
law-abiding citizens, A case in point is a
Vietnam
vet. and environmental
consultant, Bill Ellen, who is now serving
a six month
prison sentence for a 'wetlands' violation. (The
US attorney
had pushed for a three year sentence but the judge
wad more lenient.)
What was Ellen's crime? In 1987, Ellen who had
a
strong background
as a conservationist, agreed to do a project
to construct
10 ponds for migrating geese and wildlife on the
Eastern
shore of the
Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, Ellen was to build the $7
million 103
acre wildlife sanctuary on a 2,000 acre private
estate.
Ellen, who knew
environmental laws well, got all the proper
permits,
and complied
with all those laws and regulations as written 1987,
However, in
1988, the definition of 'wetland' was expanded to
include
potholes that
collect water during rains. Ellen, who already had
permits, was
unconcerned with the new regulations because the land
was
so dry that
workers had to wear dust masks. However, Ellen was
indicted for
'wetlands'violations after one government agency told
him
he could continue
landfill work and another told him he could not.
Acting on the
former, he hauled in two more loads of landfill
(i.e.,
dirt). Angry
federal environmental bureaucrats toured the land
after
three days of
heavy rains and indicted Ellen for "desecration of
wetlands". He
was sentenced to six months in jail where he now
sits.
The owner of
the estate escaped jail as an accomplice to an
environmentad
('wetlands') crime by paying a $1 million fine and
making
another $1 million
donation to the National Fish and Wildlife
Federation.
POLICE STATE TACTICS
US military and
National Guard personnel have been
undergoingÜj
Ü
training and exercises for
several years for
house-to-house
searches (presumably for drugs or guns), for crowd
control, and
for domestic 'counter-terrorism measures'. Roadblocks
are
being randomly
set up on highways around America by local, state,
or federal officials
to conduct driver's licence checks
orwarrantless
spot checks of
cars or their occupants for drugs, liquor, or
firearms;
local or state
police use of military helicopters are, with
greatly
increased frequency,
overflying cities, towns, neighborhoods, and
individual houses
at low levels (looking for drugs, for
surveillance
or
for intimidation
purposes). In late '91, an 'urban warfare
training
exercise' by
the US Marines brought a dozen military helicopters
swooping low
over San Francisco rooftops, prompting hundreds of
frightened calls
td radio stations and the local police, who
denied
any
knowledge of
the exercise. Hundreds of military vehicles (black
and
with no markings)
are being observed in various parts of the US,
in
many instances
manned by personnel in black uniforms (with no
insignias).
Denial of any knowledge of these helicopters,
vehicles
or
personnel from
local, state, and federal officials almost always
follows frightened
enquiries from citizens. Over the past two
years,
as
training and
enforcement exercises have increased, SWAT teams in
black
Ninja suits
and other government marshals and enforcement teams
have
had an increasing
number of shootouts with innocent victims who
are characterized
by the government as 'religious fundamentalists'
'white supremacists',
'left or right wing extremists',
'tax protesters',
etc. In August '92, a mob of Federal
agents surrounded
the remote Idaho home of Randy Weaver (wanted on
a misdemeanor
warrant) and his family, and in a ten-day siege
shotand
killed his wife
and 14-yr-old son. In October '92, a 'drug raid'
against a 61-year
old wealthy, partially blind Ventura County,
California resident,
Donald P. Scott, resulted in Scott being shot
dead
by Los Angeles
County Sheriff's deputies. No drugs were found, nor
did
Scott resist
arrest. The general tactic (whether used by local of
federal police
officials, or both) is to overwhelm (and
intimidate)
the 'suspected'
money launderer, environmental or
financial 'criminal',
gun law violator, etc. by invading his home
or business
with a SWAT team and/or federal marshals or
agents numbering
10 to 20 or 30 people. Guns are often drawn and
if
the 'victim'
of the attack makes any sudden move, he is often
shot.
This writer
personally knows of at least a dozen individuals (none
ever
convicted of
a traditional crime such as murder, rape, robbery,
etc.)
who have had
their homes or businesses invaded by local, state or
federal law
enforcement SWAT teams in this manner. The experience
is
terrifying for
the individual, families, or employees involved.
Shades
of Nazi Germany,
Red China, or the old Soviet Union!
