The American people and their every action are being ruled, regulated, inspected, indoctrinated, extorted, fined, harassed, disarmed, and taxed to the point of suffocation and desperation.

America is today drowning in a sea of rules and regulations, particularly under the guise of saving the environment. Under the flag of this most popular of causes, our industry is being strangled. Our property rights are being obliterated and innocent victims of these harsh policies litter our courts. Almost anything goes in the name of environmentalism.

To many there is no end in sight, perhaps no hope of saving the nation we love so much. And we watch our elected leaders with frustration as they give up one fight after another.

Lives are being turned upside down. Some have lost their farms and ranches. Some have seen their industries devastated. Some are victims of unwarranted regulations. Some are victims of the violence of zealots. Some see an even greater danger rising on the international horizon through the United Nations.

The truth is that the rules and regulations that so unreasonably have forced Americans out of their homes and jobs have absolutely nothing to do with saving the environment and everything to do with a "long revolution toward a new America" and turning society upside down. As Winston Churchill once said, "If you don’t look the facts in the face, they have a way of stabbing you in the back."

First and foremost, in turning society upside down, is the drive to destroy the concept of private property. Without the right to own and control property, there can be no peace or security - no rule of law. Without property rights, no other rights are possible.

But one doesn’t take the greatest industrial society on earth and turn it into a collectivist gulag overnight. For peaceful revolution to succeed, the perpetrators first need the "sanction of the victim." They need you to voluntarily give up your property, your wealth and your liberty. The threat of danger is a good tool. The greater the threat, the less the objection to giving up liberties. That is why world-wide environmental Armageddon has become the plan of choice.

Faced with the threat of Global Warming that would melt the polar ice caps and flood the world, we victims voluntarily gave up vital technological development that would have saved us labor and increased the quality of life. Industry accepted regulations that forced it to spend millions to create "unnecessary" technology.

Faced with the unfounded charge that uncounted and unknown species were supposedly vanishing, the alarmed public supported regulations that shut down timber and mining. Ozone holes, acid rain, dolphin-safe fishing became the mantra, driven by a hysteria plotted at the level of twelve-year-old girls in a pet shop pleading with the shop owner to "let the poor little animals out!"

As the propaganda mill poured out one unsubstantiated horror story after another, science was bastardized to fit the political agenda. Reason and truth weren’t necessary. And now the hysteria over unsubstantiated environmental disaster has grown so strong that the stage has been set for international forces to step in via the UN. Sovereign nations, they say, can’t be trusted to take care of these problems on their own.

And so it goes. The hysteria created by bogus science, has been sold to a once proud nation - using all of the outlets manned by old revolutionaries of the 60’s. All of it is the propaganda necessary to gain the sanction of the victims. True science proves that their "chicken little" horror stories are unfounded. True science proves that man is the hero - not the cancer - of the earth. True science proves that man’s technology and man’s stewardship of privately owned land is the only real environmental protection.

Why compromise truth? Why accept a lie? There is no compromise for property, liberty or truth. Not now. Not ever. It’s time to face facts. It’s time to understand your enemy. It’s time to take a firm stand. It’s time to go on the offensive - to speak the truth and expose the lies.

The truth is the radical environmental movement has declared war on property, war on people’s livelihoods, war on families and war on truth and logic. Can you imagine Thomas Jefferson trying to hide the fact that his real purpose was liberty? What if he had said "let’s just tell them we don’t like tea!"

We can only win the hearts and minds of the American people by telling them the truth. The truth is, we started with ownership of the land - they said there is no such thing as private property. We started with the means of production - they have regulated our production almost out of existence. We started with sound stewardship of the range and the forest - they’ve kicked us off - and the land suffers for it.

Competition, technology and private ownership are the foundations of sound environmental protection - and the basis of our very society. Which ones will we give up? Which ones will we compromise away in the name of some undefined "higher good"?

This is not a political debate - or a difference of opinion. We are so dangerously close to the day when businesses actually begin to contemplate putting themselves out of business for the "higher good" of saving the environment. On that day when such attitudes become commonplace, it will be the day of the ultimate sanction of the victim. We will have taken the full journey of the "revolution."

And when the lights go out in the greatest nation on earth, when the wilderness creeps back in - will you feel enlightened - or just cold, hungry and betrayed? The time is now - the decision of whether there will be betrayal or truth is ours. We must follow the warriors who fight for truth, reason and liberty.

This is still the greatest nation on earth. We are still a long way from losing it. But the forces of freedom must hurry. We must organize and unite for our greatest battles. Together, if we stand vigilant, if we speak the truth, and don’t try to hide it in some hidden or politically correct double speak, if we stand by our principles - because they are right - we can, and we will take America back.
