There's been so many people taken down by federal mismanagement across the West, there's hardly anyone in rural parts who can't tell some story of irrational and arrogant federal actions regarding the land that just makes no sense, and people needlessly bankrupted for what are viewed as trivial offenses. The Feds are losing credibility at ground zero, because of their policies, that even a supine uncritical progressive media owned by outright advocates of wildlife corridors and micromanaged communities determined to preach the new Gospel of Gaia cannot stop. The Fed managers, knowing all this, have committed to imposing their control and policies regardless of the supposedly ignorant but inarguably noncompliant locals.
It goes so hard against the ideals of American democracy I consider the Federal agencies to have 'Jumped the Shark' already. They are not going to take their time in the manner of progressive gradualism anymore. American democracy is no more. What we have is an ideologically cohesive oligarchy. If anyone just doesn't like it, they are going to get the boot once they are noticed. Anyone who makes their living off the land, like ranchers in the West have done for over a hundred years, is going to be bankrupted. We are going to have vast stretches of wildlife corridors, which will look like little strings or webs at first, connecting larger chunks of set asides, but the margins will be targeted and people forced out, one way or another.
The great Southern Longleaf Pines region will perhaps require more displacements that the Western Wildlife Corridor. People who are ranked as "The Right People" and who have status within the oligarchy will like Ted Turner and Jane Fonda have their ranches still, but anyone who isn't will be pushed out. David Rockefeller will still have his Adirondacks spread, and his Jackson Hole ranch, but he'll have fewer obnoxious neighbors. The people who live near them will be the ones who have jobs attending to the elite's lifestyle needs. Caretakers, security personnel, and other service "professionals".
The great Appalachian trail will be the Appalachian Valley. .. well, a swath of mountain lands. No more coal miner's daughters, no more corn liquor bootleggers, no more po' white trash, yo. This is national gentrification, doe.
What the oligarchs want, in perfect cohesion with the racist visions of Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood's moral foundations, is a good race war to burn out the useless eaters, black or white, whom Planet Earth or Goddess Gaia cannot bear to support anymore. What we need is some good solid wars in the Mideast to thin out the population there, too, according to geniuses like Zbigniew Brezinzski and others fantasy militarists.
A whole lot of people gotta go, according to the oligarchs. The King's Forest is the new "Manifest Destiny".
