Ric quotes: |
"Ah, the view to convince the IRS
to view sheds as a taxable value upon lands not owned by
the entity getting the tax benefit .......... the view
to think "I can impose my will, through a CE, upon any
neighbor within my view"
.............. and using your viewshed to stop any
land activity not in align with your view... |

• The goal
of the Wildlands Project is to set aside approximately
fifty (50) percent of the North American continent
(Turtle Island) as "wild land" for the preservation of
biological diversity.
•
The project seeks to do this by creating "reserve
networks" across the continent. Reserves are made up of
the following: ◦Cores, created from public lands such as
National Forest and Parks |
•
Buffers, often created from private land
adjoining the cores to provide additional
protection
•
Corridors, a mix of public and private lands
usually following along rivers and wildlife
migration routes |
|
•
The primary characteristics of core areas are that they
are large (100,000 to 25 million acres), and allow for
little, if any, human use.
•
The primary characteristics of buffers are that they
allow for limited human use so long as they are "managed
with native biodiversity as a preeminent concern."
•
Moral and ethical
guidelines for the Wildlands Project are based on the
philosophy of Deep Ecology.
•
The eight point platform of Deep Ecology can be
summarized as follows: ◦All life (human and non-human)
has equal value. |
•
Resource consumption above what is needed to
supply "vital" human needs is immoral.
•
Human
population must be reduced
•
Western
civilization must radically change present
economic, technological, and ideological
structures.
•
Believers have an obligation to try to
implement the necessary changes. |
|
•The
Wildlands Project itself is supported by hundreds of
groups working towards its long-term implementation.
Implementation may take 100 years or more.
•The
Wildlands Project has received millions of dollars in
support from wealthy private and corporate foundations
such as the Turner Foundation, Patagonia, W. Alton Jones
Foundation, Lyndhurst Foundation, etc. |

Black Bear Ranch,
www.BlackBearRanch.org
is an 80-acre
intentional community
located in
Siskiyou County,
California, about 25 miles from
Forks of Salmon.
It was founded in 1968,[1]
with the slogan "free land for free people". It has been
considered by some participants and commentators to be
one of the more radical examples of communal
living/intentional communities that grew out of the
counterculture of the 1960s.[2]
Before
being converted into a commune, it was a ghost town that
had been a gold mining settlement in the 1860s.[3]
The commune's legal ownership was held by one resident,
Richard Marley,[4]
until in 1987 it was transferred to the Black Bear
Family Trust,[1]
which limits development of the property and established
trustees to oversee various specified duties. Black Bear
Ranch was the subject of the 2005 documentary
Commune
by Johnathan Berman. The commune still exists today and
continues to follow the basic ideals which motivated its
founding. At the Summer Solstice Gathering in 2013,
there were over 40 residents, the highest population in
decades. It is located in a pocket valley in the
Siskiyou Mountains.[5]
