Comment on Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Yup. And no one is talking about the theft of 250 million acres of public land, either. Netanyahu and Trump are both bombing Iran for political reasons and blaming it on nukes that probably don’t exist.

Here’s an interactive map which shows the scale of the looting:
Here’s an article that goes into the specifics a bit more:
grist.org/…/public-land-sale-republican-senate-bi…
They’re selling public land (trying to, anyway) to the highest bidder, with no rules about how the land will be used. Expect private golf courses, Airbnbs, luxury summer homes, etc.

The buyers should expect “nonviolent” resistance.

Of course they don’t exist, US intelligence even said so. The fact that there is zero radiation measured after the attacks shows there wasn’t even any nuclear bomb producing equipment in the areas.

The public lands thing is breaking my heart. I hope they’re used by Magas and they now can’t use them anymore. The one in Washington State is definitely like that.

It’s so sad! I can’t stop crying about it. Hiking is my entire life. I live in Washington and looked at an interactive map of the land they’re trying to sell. All of my favorite spots are in danger.
If you look at the map you’ll see how stupid it is… they’re cutting everything into tiny pieces so that even the land they don’t sell will lose it’s recreational value. The PCT will likely be completely ruined because of this. The way they’re cutting it up… there’s no logic to it. They’re doing this to hurt us.

I hope it’s like in Florida when they tried to do the same thing for golf courses and the public came in and shot it down. We have to get louder, Magas won’t like this either.

I’m willing to stand in front of a bulldozer if it comes down to that.
The thing in Florida is encouraging, although that was at the State level rather than Federal. I’m sure there are organizations who are going to oppose this… if this happens it will be irreversible and will effectively ruin western states, and put a huge dent in local economies. This will also hurt the people who don’t hike. People come to the western US from all over the world to use our public land.
