<p>Having covered the individuals currently pursuing a Convention of States (COS), the funding behind it, and how those funders are connected, it became clear that at the center of it all was Tim Dunn. He has been a busy boy in Texas when looking into his background, and there is reason for major concern.

<p>Having covered the individuals currently pursuing a Convention of States (COS), the funding behind it, and how those funders are connected, it became clear that at the center of it all was Tim Dunn. He has been a busy boy in Texas when looking into his background, and there is reason for major concern. While this information appears to hold the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Dunn_(businessman)" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">values</a> of what many Idahoans want, critical thinking is needed to understand the full picture.</p>
<p>Tim Dunn lives in Texas, is a <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/timothy-dunn/?sh=477624b64988" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">billionaire</a>, and a Christian, making his money from the oil industry. Over the last several years his political activities in Texas are well documented. By some <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/billionaire-tim-dunn-runs-texas/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">accounts</a> he has been building a “political machine” using his money to <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/a-christian-oil-billionaire-upended-texas-politics-and-is-coming-for-washington-next/ar-BB1iLRV1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">create</a> a network of organizations, as have been documented in previous articles.</p>
<p>As <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/christopherhelman/2022/08/18/oils-new-bible-thumping-biden-bashing-billionaire/?sh=25d6835535dc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">quoted</a> in Forbes, “I view investing in politics as a philanthropic exercise. I pay dues to lobbyists to prevent bad regulation.” Also according to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/christopherhelman/2022/08/18/oils-new-bible-thumping-biden-bashing-billionaire/?sh=25d6835535dc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Forbes</a>, “…in 2010 he cofounded Citizens for Self-Governance, a project to revise the U.S. Constitution”, in which Convention of States is its <a href="https://conventionofstates.com/who-is-citizens-for-self-governance-and-how-do-they-relate-to-the-cos-project" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">project</a>. In reviewing his many activities, it became clearer that revising the Constitution is exactly what he wants to do beyond balanced budget or term limit amendments. Moreover, as previously discussed, it is the “limiting the power and jurisdiction of the federal government” <a href="https://legislature.idaho.gov/wp-content/uploads/sessioninfo/2024/legislation/SCR112SOP.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">language</a> that is the most threatening. The Constitution already defines enumerated powers. His <a href="https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/02/tim-dunn-chart.jpg" target="_blank" title="" class="swipebox" rel="noopener">influence</a> has been far reaching in both politics and his ambition to change the Constitution.</p>
<p>The Fiscal Responsibility <a href="https://index.texastaxpayers.com/legislative-sessions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Index</a>, a non-profit <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/24/politics/texas-far-right-politics-invs/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">chaired</a> by Dunn, is a scoring <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/billionaire-tim-dunn-runs-texas/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">system</a>, assigning a number to each lawmaker based on how they vote, and is used to determine who should remain in Dunn’s favor. The higher the score, the safer it is for the lawmaker with a clear <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/billionaire-tim-dunn-runs-texas/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">message</a>, “…if you don’t vote the way we tell you, we’re going to score against you,” Is this threat also being laid upon Idaho legislators? Perhaps this scoring system has already been applied in Idaho given the money that was used previously to target one legislator and support others. <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/24/politics/texas-far-right-politics-invs/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buying</a> politicians also buys the policies.</p>
<p>This election interference by COS also happened in <a href="https://montanafreepress.org/2022/06/20/convention-states-campaign-violation-in-montana/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Montana</a>, <a href="https://wisconsinexaminer.com/2023/10/11/southeast-wisconsin-principal-files-discrimination-complaint-after-dismissal/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wisconsin</a>, and <a href="https://thenewamerican.com/video/south-dakota-senator-exposes-cos-deceit-and-fake-petitions-including-from-his-own-wife/?fbclid=IwAR24027VLId76Si5Yt2i5Tbb5cfdfP7so5woReMNU-FOI344yLj9gD8fzB0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">South</a> <a href="https://www.kotatv.com/2022/12/07/convention-states-proponents-ramp-up-south-dakota-state-legislative-session/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dakota</a>. Along with his <a href="https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Texas-Ted-Cruz-Tim-Nunn-Farris-Wilks-PAC-money-17327660.php" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">friend</a> Farris <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/billionaire-tim-dunn-runs-texas/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wilks</a> from the infamous Wilks brothers associated with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_and_Farris_Wilks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Idaho</a>, both have poured <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/24/politics/texas-far-right-politics-invs/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">money</a> into the election process and influencing policy decisions that are rightfully the responsibility of citizens. In Texas, he used his money towards <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2024/02/27/greg-abbott-tim-dunn-paxton-vouchers-republican-primary-texas/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ousting</a> lawmakers who didn’t vote his way.</p>
<p>His desire to replace the education <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/24/politics/texas-far-right-politics-invs/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">system</a> with all Christian <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2023/11/02/tim-dunn-move-midland-school-bond/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">schools</a> might be widely accepted by many, but is clearly a violation of the 1st Amendment. However, could this be a hint for his desire to hold a convention for other reasons than what is presented by Convention of States Action?</p>
<p>Sitting on the corporate <a href="https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/854202763/202333189349314408/full" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">501(c)(3)</a> America First Inc (America First Policy <a href="https://americafirstpolicy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Institute</a>} board is Mr. Dunn as Director, along with Larry Kudlow and Newt Gingrich as Vice Chairs. Brooke <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooke_Rollins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rollins</a>, playing a former role in the Trump administration, serves as President and CEO. This non-profit was also <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/06/politics/trump-donor-america-first-policy-institute-invs/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">influential</a> in the previous Trump campaign and appears to be <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/25/trump-america-first-policy-institute-think-tank-00047634" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">gearing</a> up for a new Trump administration with a <a href="https://americafirstpolicy.com/initiatives" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">set</a> of <a href="https://americafirstpolicy.com/issues" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">issues</a> for <a href="https://agenda.americafirstpolicy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">policy</a> already in place, He has <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/a-christian-oil-billionaire-upended-texas-politics-and-is-coming-for-washington-next/ar-BB1iLRV1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">donated</a> to several non-profits with <a href="https://aflegal.org/about/#leadership" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="__mPS2id">similar</a> <a href="https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/862190372/202323199349307967/full" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">causes</a>.</p>
<p>Mr. Gingrich <a href="https://agenda.americafirstpolicy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">describes</a> this non-profit as “taking on the left”. But when looking at all of Mr. Dunn’s activity it appears more the ideological beliefs of one man who has the money to buy politicians and influence policy. Again, this is a direct violation of the Republic’s foundation. None of it follows the Constitution as originally written, this isn’t how the process works. Indeed, the Constitution would probably have to be profoundly changed to accommodate his ideals. </p>
<p>“Dunn calls <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/a-christian-oil-billionaire-upended-texas-politics-and-is-coming-for-washington-next/ar-BB1iLRV1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">himself</a> a proponent of self-governance”. <a href="https://www.johnadamsacademy.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=2003858&type=d&pREC_ID=2094516" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Self-governance</a> is different than consent of the <a href="https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declaration-transcript" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">governed</a>. All of his activities are the antithesis of what self-governance means. He is a founding board <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Dunn_(businessman)" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">member</a> of Citizens for Self-Governance (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_for_Self-Governance#External_links" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="__mPS2id">CSG</a>) which is <a href="https://selfgovern.com/leadership/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">led</a> by Mark Meckler. It could safely be said the whole purpose of the Conventions of States project is changing the Constitution to align with the ideals of Mr. Dunn and he has put into place the mechanism to do it.</p>
<p>While Mr. Dunn <a href="https://conventionofstates.com/videos/tim-dunn-the-political-mission-of-the-biblical-narrative" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">claims</a> that Marxism believes religion and politics don’t mix, it was actually our Founders who separated religion out from government in the 1st <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/first_amendment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amendment</a>. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion”…”forbids Congress from both <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/establishment_clause" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">promoting</a> one religion over others and also <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/free_exercise_clause" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">restricting</a> an individual’s religious practices.” He also states Marxism defines religion as no beliefs other than theirs, when there is strong evidence that is exactly what he is promoting, Christian religion for all. It isn’t clear where he obtained his degree in theology. He also believes it is “government’s job to execute wrath on evil…something God appointed it to do”. </p>
<p>Mr. Dunn has <a href="https://timdunn.org/about-me-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">views</a> on the criminal justice system, having “spawned a national movement called “Right on <a href="https://rightoncrime.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Crime</a>.” This <a href="https://rightoncrime.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">organization</a> “is a national <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_On_Crime">campaign</a> of the Texas Public Policy <a href="https://www.texaspolicy.com/right-on-crime/">Foundation</a> in which Mr. Dunn is a Vice <a href="https://www.texaspolicy.com/about/board/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chair</a>, and has an Idaho <a href="https://rightoncrime.com/states/idaho/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chapter</a> that <a href="https://rightoncrime.com/drug-induced-homicide-laws/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">influences</a> <a href="https://rightoncrime.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/HB406-Section-3-7.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">legislation</a>. Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of his talk comes at the end when he talks about loving one another and not exploiting others, when it is clear he assigned himself as judge and jury by using his money and front men to do his dirty work in attacking political candidates.</p>
<p>What can only be described as acting like a <a href="https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/megalomaniac" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">megalomaniac</a>, Mr. Dunn has used his wealth, influence, and in some cases threats, to spread his wrath across many states, including Idaho, to change our Constitution. </p>
<p>This information may stir different emotions in different people. Some may welcome the values Mr. Dunn espouses, others may have concern over the tactics he uses in order to sway our Republican form of government. Mr. Dunn is trying to use the available tool in the Constitution with Article V. However, it is the other ways in which he operates that are the bigger concern and just how much depth there is to his values that could possibly open up our Constitution to harm. His demonstrated ability at influencing politics could just as easily occur should a convention be held. Do Idaho legislators want to be held to the dictates of Tim Dunn under the threat of defeat?</p>
<p>Should Mr. Dunn have the privilege of reading this information, he deserves to have a word of caution. His self-driven and sanctimonious ideology is the antithesis of self-governance, and he needs to go back and read every document written by the Founders. Mr. Dunn is distorting the very point on which our Republic was built, that government is only by the consent of the people. He is building it into his own consent. </p>
<p>Given the history of this one man, his activities of <a href="https://thenewamerican.com/video/south-dakota-senator-exposes-cos-deceit-and-fake-petitions-including-from-his-own-wife/?fbclid=IwAR24027VLId76Si5Yt2i5Tbb5cfdfP7so5woReMNU-FOI344yLj9gD8fzB0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">influence</a> in politics, and his antithetic beliefs to our Republic, it is imperative that Idaho rejects any involvement in the Convention of States Action, and should SCR 112 pass, it can be <a href="https://defendourconstitution.org/blog/south-dakota-rescission-vote-shows-how-complex-the-issue-of-an-article-v-constitutional-convention-really-is/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rescinded</a>.

<p>When there are many twists and turns it is sometimes helpful to go back over information one step at a time, and find new information, to understand the picture. Such is the case with the Convention of States Action (COSA) which has more depth to it than just the push for states to approve a Convention of States.</p>

<p>Teresa Molitor is the COSA <a href="https://conventionofstates.com/idaho-leadership" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lobbyist</a> in Idaho (under Legislative Liaison Team). Given the history of these many groups and their activities, there is a strong indication that it is more of an attempt to influence election outcomes and legislative decisions by unknown money sources than what is told by COSA.</p>

<p>It is clear from these documents and many others that were reviewed, that the intention is not only to influence political elections, but to also re-write the Constitution, not just adding some amendments, and there are specific groups of individuals behind the effort.</p>

<p>Everyone needs to be aware of the back story on COS. They have been pushing this in Idaho. The dirty tricks they have played here were also done in other states.</p>
<p>The Convention of States Action (<a href="https://conventionofstates.com/latest" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">COSA</a>) conducted some groundwork prior to its coming into Idaho and promoting its calling for a Convention of States to the legislature. COSA had over $8 million <a href="https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Convention_of_States_Action#Core_Financials" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="__mPS2id">dollars</a> in revenue in 2022.</p>
<p>COSA also had a Convention of States Political Fund (<a href="https://cospoliticalfund.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">COSPF</a>) in 2022, and a political action committee called Conservative Action for <a href="https://conservativeactionidaho.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Idaho</a> PAC (CAI). When Convention of States Political Fund is searched under the donor box on the Idaho Secretary of State (SOS) <a href="https://sunshine.sos.idaho.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">site</a>, it shows that all contributions are made to the CAI. When Conservative Action for Idaho is searched under the Candidates & PACs box, it shows how money was spent, a large part going to advertising agencies. </p>
<p>On the 01/01/2021 to 12/31/2021 CAI Campaign Financial Disclosure Report <a href="https://elections.sos.idaho.gov/TED/Filings/30347.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Summary</a> it shows contributions were made to the Idaho Republican Party. Much of this money went to Republican committees located throughout the state, but there were also contributions to individual candidates and different organizations. Some of those organizations included $20,000 to Melaleuca Inc; $6,000 to Beco Construction Company; $10,000 to Richard And Peggy Larsen Farms; $10,000 to TransCanada <a href="https://www.dnb.com/business-directory/company-profiles.transcanada_pipeline_usa_ltd.4176e90229880c1fc3d90ed339e4b074.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pipeline</a> U.S.A.; $20,000 to Idaho Land Fund; $5,000 to Idaho Conservative Growth <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/idaho-conservative-growth-fund/C00544270/summary/2024" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fund</a>; and $5,000 to Idaho Victory <a href="https://kootenaijournal.com/2023/11/22/is-idahos-republican-governor-funding-attack-ads-on-republican-idaho-senators/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fund</a>, which has its own nefarious background.</p>
<p>Candidates receiving money included $1,000 to Julie Yamamoto; $2,000 to Jim Rice; $1,000 to Mary Souza; $1,000 to Macomber For Idaho Attorney General; $500.00 to Blanksma For Idaho; $500.00 to Mcgrane For Idaho; $1,500.00 to Chuck Winder; $500.00 to Wendy Horman; $250.00 to Laura Lickley; and $250.00 to Dustin Manwaring.</p>
<p>In 2022, CAI spent thousands of dollars in opposition to and support of Idaho candidates through advertising agencies, $36,217.00 was <a href="https://elections.sos.idaho.gov/TED/Filings/66226.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">spent</a> just in April, 2022, and $69,704.24 in <a href="https://elections.sos.idaho.gov/TED/Filings/68638.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">May</a>. Amounts paid to individual advertising agencies can be found <a href="https://elections.sos.idaho.gov/TED/Filings/68638.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>, along with amounts spent to oppose Judy Boyle and support Rep. Syme, Mike Kingsley, James Hotzclaw, Barbara Ehardt, Mike Moyle, and Kelly Anthon. On this April, 2022 CAI Disclosure <a href="https://elections.sos.idaho.gov/TED/Filings/66226.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">form</a>, $5,100.00 was paid to “The Political” on the 25th to oppose Judy Boyle (pg 14). This is a <a href="https://thepoliticalfirm.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">firm</a> in Louisiana whose work is to get candidates <a href="https://clutch.co/profile/political-firm#highlights" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="__mPS2id">elected</a>.</p>
<p>This CAI Disclosure <a href="https://elections.sos.idaho.gov/TED/Filings/68638.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">form</a> shows that COSPF made contributions to the CAI in the amounts of $50,000 and $10,000 on separate dates in May, 2022. No Super Pac called the “Convention of States Political Fund” could be found on the Federal Election Commission (FEC) <a href="https://www.fec.gov/search/?query=convention+of+states+political+fund&type=committees" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">website</a>.</p>
<p>Also, there were two <a href="https://elections.sos.idaho.gov/TED/Filings/66226.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">contributions</a> made to CAI by Conservative Action for <a href="https://cafapac.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">America</a> (CAA), one on April 20 for $1,000 and another for $50,000 made on April 25, 2022. In 2022, the Center for Media and <a href="https://www.exposedbycmd.org/about-cmd/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Democracy</a> (CMD) <a href="https://montanafreepress.org/2022/10/11/montana-disclosure-deadline-lawsuit-resolved/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">alleged</a> that COSPF founder, Richard Johnson, formed CAA “in Arizona to hide the identity of major donors to its super PAC”. Conservative Action for America cannot be found as a PAC when searched on the Arizona <a href="https://seethemoney.az.gov/Reporting/Explore#JurisdictionId=0|Page=2|startYear=2023|endYear=2024|IsLessActive=false|ShowOfficeHolder=false|View=Detail|TablePage=1|TableLength=10" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="__mPS2id">website</a> from 2020-2024. CMD also <a href="https://montanafreepress.org/2022/09/09/super-pac-faces-new-allegations-in-montana/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">alleged</a> that “Conservative Action for America used a fake address to register as a nonprofit there.” In Montana, COSPF was found <a href="https://montanafreepress.org/2022/10/11/montana-disclosure-deadline-lawsuit-resolved/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">guilty</a> of violating campaign laws by “by failing to adequately disclose its in-state activity with his office.” In another 2022 <a href="https://politicalpractices.mt.gov/_docs/2022-Decisions/Dailey-v-COSPF_SD.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">complaint</a> filed against COSPF in Montana, Richard A. Johnson is listed as the treasurer on page 2.</p>
<p>Looking at this 2022 CAI Campaign Financial Disclosure Report <a href="https://elections.sos.idaho.gov/TED/Filings/66226.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Summary</a>, Conservative Action for America is listed on page three with the same Arizona address. The reason this is so confusing is there are two separate Conservative Action for America groups, both created by COSA individuals.</p>
<p>This 990 tax <a href="https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/874531856/202303009349300715/full" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">form</a> lists CAA <strong>Inc</strong> as a corporate 501(c)(4) non-profit in Arizona with over two million dollars in total revenue and RJ Johnson as president.

<p>There is also the CAA <a href="https://cafapac.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PAC</a>, Conservative Action for America PAC in Virginia, that was a FEC <a href="https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00820068/?tab=about-committee&cycle=2022" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">registered</a> Super PAC from 7/22 through 2023 with Mark Meckler as treasurer.</p>
<p>Donors aren’t listed, however CAA “Inc.” made <a href="https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/874531856/202303009349300715/full" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">contributions</a>: $600,000 to American Principles <a href="https://americanprinciplesproject.org/about/board/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Project</a>; $30,000 to Citizens Against Expanded <a href="https://www.citizensagainstgambling.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gambling</a>; $51,000 to Conservative Action for America PAC; $51,000 to Conservative Action for <a href="https://conservativeactionidaho.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Idaho</a>; $876,000 to Convention of States Action; $677,000 to Convention of States Political Fund; $49,000 to Stop Prop 1 in DC; and $160,000 to Wisconsin Alliance for <a href="https://www.politifact.com/personalities/wisconsin-alliance-reform/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reform</a>.</p>
<p>When looking at CAA “PAC” <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/outside-spending/detail/2022?cmte=C00820068&tab=donors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">donations</a> received, a Crownquest individual donated $1 million dollars to the CAA “PAC”. Tim <a href="https://timdunn.org/about-me-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dunn</a> is the Crownquest CEO and is on the Board of <a href="https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/472245708/202323119349300022/full" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Directors</a> for Convention of States. CAA “Inc” in Arizona gave $51,000 to the CAA PAC. The FEC registered Super PAC, Congressional Reform <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/congressional-reform-fund/C00713354/summary/2020" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fund</a>, whose <a href="https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00713354/?tab=about-committee" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">treasurer</a> was Mark Meckler, also gave $39,637 to the CAA “PAC”. All documents of the Congressional Reform Fund, which terminated in August, 2022, can be found <a href="https://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg/?C00713354" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>, Timothy Dunn <a href="https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/?committee_id=C00713354&two_year_transaction_period=2022&data_type=processed" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">contributed</a> a total of $65,000 to the Congressional Reform Fund Super Pac.</p>
<p>Under the expenditures <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/outside-spending/detail/2022?cmte=C00820068&tab=expenditures" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">tab</a>, the CAA “PAC” paid $500,000 to Secure Our Freedom Action <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/secure-our-freedom-action-fund/C00804997/donors/2022" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fund</a>; $10,000 to Johnson <a href="https://johnsonjordahl.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jordahl</a>; and $7,000 to Koch & <a href="https://www.kochandhoos.com/about2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hoos</a>.</p>
<p>COSA, through its PACs, spent money to have specific Idaho legislators supported, while <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/gop-spends-big-in-state-level-effort-to-change-u-s-constitution" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">targeting</a> Rep. Boyle in opposition, and engaging in the same <a href="https://montanafreepress.org/2022/06/06/outside-spending-targets-primaries/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">activity</a> in other states.</p>
<p>There is also a CAI Campaign Financial Disclosure Report <a href="https://elections.sos.idaho.gov/TED/Filings/66228.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Summary</a> from 6/1/22 to 6/30/22 showing its expenditures. </p>
<p>501(c)(4) groups have very specific <a href="https://www.skadden.com/insights/publications/2023/03/complying-with-the-rules-governing-501c4-organizations-key-issues" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">limitations</a> on how money can be used and distributed, especially related to campaign <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/501(c)(4)" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">finance</a>.</p>
<p>While this may be <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dark-money.asp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">considered</a> “dark <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/dark-money/basics" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">money</a>” as was suggested by CMD and others, most information about where the money came from, who is involved, and how that money is shuffled around has been fairly easy to find, with a few exceptions. This all feels more like a slush <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/slushfund.asp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fund</a> or sloppy shell game. What is striking, all of it was shut down when the campaign law violations were filed against COSPF in June, 2022 in Montana. </p>
<p>The flow of money is difficult to follow but basically it is all the work of Mark Meckler and his cohorts, creating organizations, funding them, shuffling the money around, then getting into trouble and shutting the organizations down. They aren’t alone, much has been written about how these activities undermine our election process. How did America get to this? Well, it was a Supreme Court case that <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/super-pacs/2020" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sanctioned</a> this <a href="https://www.britannica.com/event/Citizens-United-v-Federal-Election-Commission/Dissenting-opinion#ref1246462" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="__mPS2id">activity</a>, it isn’t even <a href="https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R42042" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">regulated</a>. Corporations have free speech <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Citizens_United_v._Federal_Election_Commission" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rights</a>?</p>
<p>The CMD <a href="https://www.exposedbycmd.org/2020/08/17/conservative-plutocrats-pour-enormous-sums-money-gop-super-pacs/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">attacks</a> billionaires for dumping money towards the right, and the right goes after those funders of the left like <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/01/28/soros-pours-125m-into-super-pac-ahead-of-midterms-00002847" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Soros</a>. Round and round we go. These people are in their own little bubble creating whirlwinds of chaos for the rest of us.</p>
<p>Certainly the Founders did not have money thrown at them to support only certain positions, or wealthy organizations using their money to influence the populous in one direction or another. Why has this been allowed? Why even bother voting when there is so much monetary malfeasance behind the political arena? Are potential candidates and incumbents for office cognizant of these monetary games in which they are the pawns? Where do billionaires get off thinking they, through their wealth, have the ability to change the course of a country and how people should live, vote, or even think? Can they not find a better, more positive way in which to spend their riches? Surely, somewhere, there are some kids who need new shoes and clothes.</p>
<p>And now, Idaho legislators are being duped into thinking that a Convention of States is a marvelous avenue to pursue. This agenda is not grassroots, or even from Idaho citizens. It originates with a bunch of individuals who have money and because of that, think they can pay their way into states and lead a charge for Lord only knows what reason. Do legislators really want to tangle Idaho up with an organization that has such questionable <a href="https://gemstatepatriot.com/blog/article-v-convention-yes-or-no/">backgrounds</a> and activities? If legislators were made aware of this and other COSA activity, would they support SCR <a href="https://legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/2024/legislation/SCR112/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">112</a> or the other related bills? </p>
<p>It got this far because we as the self-governed have failed to do our job in holding elected officials <strong>accountable,</strong> scrutinizing every aspect of what they do, and who they are choosing to follow. Let elected officials know this suspicious <a href="https://legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/2024/legislation/SCR112/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">resolution</a> should not be passed.</p>

<p>Sometimes the agendas come so rapidly it is difficult to keep them apart because at the core they all serve the same purpose.<br/> <br/> Since the federal government no longer operates as three separate branches with the legislative branch assigned to creating laws, the Executive Branch and unconstitutional administrative rulemaking <a href="https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF/IF10003">process</a> now create laws that Americans are subjected to without any congressional involvement. Quite notorious are rules that are written under the Department of Interior (DOI). Given that the federal government now operates in bed with corporations and non-government organizations (NGO), many of the rules are created for the benefit of those groups and not us.<br/> <br/> The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and its buddy corporations and environmental groups have been busy creating a new "rule" that will economically benefit the BLM, serve the ideology of environmental groups, and help the corporate world advance renewable energy projects. Not only are the Executive Branch and DOI <a href="https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/fact-sheet-president-biden-take-action-uphold-commitment-restore-balance-public-lands">handing</a> over "public" land to corporations for renewable energy projects, but with BLM's full <a href="https://www.blm.gov/press-release/fact-sheet-president-biden-take-action-uphold-commitment-restore-balance-public-lands">participation</a>, this proposed rule also advances the White House 30x30 <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/ceq/news-updates/2021/05/06/biden-harris-administration-outlines-america-the-beautiful-initiative/">agenda</a>, a goal of conserving 30% of land by 2030. It is the rewriting of a regulatory framework that will put public land under the 30x30 classification for land conservation.<br/> <br/> 30x30 isn't even a federal law passed by Congress, it is a dictate from the White House that meets an International Union for Conservation of Nature (<a href="https://www.iucn.org/resources/factsheet/conserving-least-30-planet-2030-what-should-count">IUCN</a>) <a href="https://www.iucn.org/sites/default/files/2022-08/what-counts_final_web_0.pdf">goal</a>, a United <a href="https://sdgs.un.org/statements/international-union-conservation-nature-iucn-10718">Nations</a> <a href="https://sdgs.un.org/statements/international-union-conservation-nature-iucn-13634">participant</a>. That alone should negate any participation in 30x30, or through illegal rulings by the BLM. However, the DOI is an IUCN <a href="https://www.iucn.org/our-union/members/members-directory?mbr_cgry=1564&rgn=1094&stat=All">member</a> through several of its agencies, so the same ideology is probably applied to the BLM.<br/> <br/> The DOI <a href="https://doi.gov/pressreleases/interior-department-releases-proposed-plan-guide-balanced-management-public-lands">announced</a> its "Plan to Guide the Balanced Management of Public Lands" in March, putting "conservation on equal footing with other uses". Other highlights include identifying "areas in need of restoration or conservation", and building "on...clean energy deployment". Its three-pronged <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/sweeping-biden-rule-could-change-the-game-for-protecting-public-lands/ar-AA19hH9q">justification</a> is to "protect intact landscapes, restore degraded habitat, and make wise management decisions based on science and data” while incorporating "land health assessments" in BLM decisions on land use. <br/> <br/> This proposed <a href="https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2023-04-03/pdf/2023-06310.pdf">rule</a> was released in the Federal Register on April 3, and folks are <a href="https://www.nationofchange.org/2023/04/03/under-proposed-biden-rule-companies-could-lease-public-lands-for-conservation-instead-of-exploitation/">urging</a> a rapid deployment before a possible flip in Congress in 2024. Now, if this were such a wonderful idea, why are they scared? <br/> <br/> Just a quick <a href="https://www.blm.gov/sites/default/files/docs/2023-03/Public%20Lands%20Proposed%20Rule%20-%20Conservation%20and%20Landscape%20Health%20-Final%20Clean%20Version%203-29-23.pdf">summary</a> of this rule provides the fluff. "Manage the land for multiple use and sustained yield by prioritizing the health and resilience of ecosystems"; "protect intact landscapes, restore degraded habitat"; "apply land health standards" (now there's a scary thought); "clarify that conservation is a “use” within the <a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd488457.pdf">FLPMA’s</a> multiple-use framework"; and "revise existing regulations to better meet FLPMA’s requirement that the BLM prioritize designating and protecting Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (<a href="https://www.blm.gov/programs/planning-and-nepa/planning-101/special-planning-designations/acec">ACECs</a>)." <br/> <br/> By "clarifying" conservation as a use, the BLM is changing the law without Congressional involvement.<br/> <br/> The Federal Land and Policy Management Act, as amended in <a href="https://www.blm.gov/sites/default/files/docs/2022-11/FLPMA_2021.pdf">2021</a>, does not address the classification of land for conservation leasing, <u>instead emphasizing that land is used for its resources</u>. Page 2(c) defines multiple use. Effect on existing rights, page 79(a), makes it clear that nothing can terminate the rights to use the land. Pretending that leasing land for conservation serves the purpose of multiple use is only a distorted fantasy. Through the DOI, the White House is revising the FLPMA law without any congressional involvement. Once again, the rule of law is ignored by the White House.<br/> <br/> Buried deep in this rhetoric is a plan that should raise the hair on the back of the neck, "conservation leasing". DOI's definition of this is a "time-limited lease" allowing "interested organizations conduct restoration or mitigation activities...<u>to facilitate development projects</u>". It will also "prioritize the identification, evaluation and designation of Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (<a href="https://www.blm.gov/programs/planning-and-nepa/planning-101/special-planning-designations/acec">ACEC</a>) through land use planning." All of this means non-use.<br/> <br/> <a href="https://www.perc.org/2023/03/31/a-big-step-forward-for-conservation-leasing/">PERC</a> probably describes it best, "creating markets for conservation". With this rule, the DOI is advancing public land as a <a href="https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/commodity">commodity</a>. The BLM will make an unknown amount of money because corporations can <a href="https://www.nationofchange.org/2023/04/03/under-proposed-biden-rule-companies-could-lease-public-lands-for-conservation-instead-of-exploitation/">pay</a> "to restore a degraded ecosystems" to "offset environmentally harmful activities". Same with NGOs. Through <a href="https://www.nature.org/en-us/about-us/who-we-are/how-we-work/finance-investing/naturevest/?tab_q=tab_container-tab_element_696505977">NatureVest</a>, the Nature Conservancy already has the program to exploit conservation for profit.<br/> <br/> Opposite of what the DOI claims, that multi-use will continue in spite of this conservation, if a wealthy environmental group or corporation dumps their money into one of these leases, use can be denied, as either will hold the ability to "<a href="https://www.hcn.org/articles/south-landline-a-seismic-shift-for-public-lands">preclude</a> the parcel from...grazing during the extendable 10-year term. The leases might also block future leasing for uses deemed incompatible with the conservation work." It might become a mad bidding war between corporations and environmental groups to see who can buy up the most "leasing".<br/> <br/> However, perhaps unbeknownst to some, it has always been <a href="https://www.perc.org/2020/12/16/why-dont-environmentalists-just-buy-what-they-want-to-protect/">illegal</a> for environmental groups to lease public land. This proposed rule removes that problem for them and really opens the door to their bank vault, tying up land across America. No wonder they love it. Perhaps quid pro quo? Companies have also been "<a href="https://www.dtnpf.com/agriculture/web/ag/news/business-inputs/article/2023/03/31/western-cattle-grazers-face-leasing">requesting</a> conservation leases". No doubt, the DOI is serving its NGO and corporate constituents well.<br/> <br/> To offset the damage from a renewable energy project, corporations will use the excuse to lease land either surrounding the project or in another area to offset that damage by restoring the leased land. In some instances, it is called "carbon offsetting", which really <a href="https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2019/05/are-carbon-offsets-a-scam/">appears</a> to be more of a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/18/business/carbon-offsets-climate-explainer/index.html">money</a> <a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2019/06/what-is-carbon-offsetting/">game</a> than <a href="https://www.source-material.org/vercompanies-carbon-offsetting-claims-inflated-methodologies-flawed/">making</a> a real difference.<br/> <br/> The insane idea behind this is that leased land would be saved for more public use because it would somehow be healthier. As the BLM goes about making its "health assessments" of the land, there is fairly good potential that more land will be identified as unhealthy and needing repair, then sucked up for conservation and non-use. With powerful and wealthy corporations and their rich NGO pals, the whole BLM <a href="https://www.blm.gov/sites/default/files/docs/2023-04/Public%20Lands%20Rule%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf">landscape</a> could be sucked up in restoration and mitigation projects through leasing. "Science" will surely be used to justify the land's need for restoration. If NGOs <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/sweeping-biden-rule-could-change-the-game-for-protecting-public-lands/ar-AA19hH9q">love</a> it, it has to be bad. </p>
<p>Temporary restrictions on use are part of the rule for restoration of degraded land. Keeping the land available for multiple use through this proposed rule is a lie.<br/> <br/> Temporary restrictions while degraded land is restored can extend up to ten years. How long does land take to restore itself, or is that up to some bureaucratic technocrat? The rule also states it “would not override valid existing rights or preclude other, subsequent authorizations <u>so long as those subsequent authorizations are</u> <a href="https://www.wylr.net/2023/04/07/blm-proposes-public-lands-rule/">compatible</a> <u>with the conservation use</u>.” So cattle <a href="https://northernag.net/blm-proposes-sweeping-rule-that-could-change-priorities-for-public-lands/">grazing</a> would have to fit this new narrative or else, and with the <a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2014/12/the-impact-of-livestock-on-climate-change/">hatred</a> of cattle, no compatibility would probably ever be recognized.<br/> <br/> So in between all of the malarkey of how wonderful this is to improve the land and make it available for everyone's great-great grandkids, it is really a twisted way of taking land away from public use and making money off corporations and NGOs. For corporations, the excuse can be to <a href="https://www.nationofchange.org/2023/04/03/under-proposed-biden-rule-companies-could-lease-public-lands-for-conservation-instead-of-exploitation/">offset</a> greenhouse gas <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/carbon-offsets-climate-crisis.html">emissions</a> they create, or "funding renewable energy projects" can be <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/companies-facing-carbon-offset-backlash-091102908.html">considered</a> a carbon offset. How handy is that for renewable energy corporations?<br/> <br/> The regulation calls for an assessment of all public land, its state of degradation, and need for restoration, which includes grazing land. For now, grazing is spared from this rule until the land can be assessed, but it is still a <a href="https://www.wlj.net/top_headlines/blm-proposes-new-public-lands-management-rule/article_d62ce5c6-d554-11ed-be4b-c7dedecc05ae.html">threat</a> to the cattle industry and is in the 30x30 <a href="https://www.eli.org/sites/default/files/files-pdf/52.10279.pdf">crosshairs</a> for conservation leasing.<br/> <br/> At least U.S. Senator John <a href="https://www.energy.senate.gov/2023/3/barrasso-proposed-blm-rule-would-be-a-clear-violation-of-the-law">Barrasso</a> (R-WY) and U.S. Senator Kevin <a href="https://www.cramer.senate.gov/news/press-releases/sen-cramer-opposes-blms-proposed-public-lands-overhaul">Cramer</a> (R-ND) understand this rule violates the law and will kill multiple use as land that is leased out for conservation will not be available for use under the Multiple Use & Sustained Yield Act (<a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/emc/nfma/includes/musya60.pdf">MUSY</a>). He, along with Senator Jim <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/1435/cosponsors">Risch</a>, have introduced a <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/1435/text">bill</a> to stop this proposed BLM rule.<br/> <br/> Of note, comments are being made by individuals who don't even live in states where BLM land exists, many of whom live in eastern states. They think the idea of the BLM conserving the land is great without really understanding the full impact of this proposed rule, let alone understanding it is a violation of the Congressional role to create laws. <br/> <br/> This is borne out by the significant numbers of canned support letters the NGOs tell them to use, just accepting what is spoon fed to them without taking the time to understand the issue. It seems most of these comments <a href="https://act.wilderness.org/a/tell-blm-conserve-our-public-lands-web">originate</a> from The Wilderness Society. This is the ignorance we are up against and the herd mentality. Because the sheep are following orders, most of the comments support this rule.

<p>This scheme is nothing more than an illegal way to deprive Americans from using both private and public land, and using their money to enrich the corporate world.<br/> <br/> As part of this administration's <a href="https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/fact-sheet-president-biden-take-action-uphold-commitment-restore-balance-public-lands">agenda</a> to implement the international 30x30 <a href="https://www.iucn.org/resources/grey-literature/30x30-guide-inclusive-equitable-and-effective-implementation-target-3">plan</a>, that is, placing 30% of land into conservation by 2030, it only makes sense to weaponize federal agencies. In this particular case it is the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (<a href="https://fws.gov/library/collections/comprehensive-conservation-plans?$keywords=%22centennial%22&content_type=%5B%22Document%22%5D">USFWS</a>). <br/> <br/> One perfect place to execute this plan is in Montana, called the Missouri Headwaters Conservation <a href="https://www.fws.gov/project/proposed-missouri-headwaters-conservation-area">Area</a>. While this map shows the boundary map clearly within the Montana border, it isn't clear what that red boundary line extending into Idaho means, but it does capture Centennial <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centennial_Mountains">Valley</a>.</p>
<p></p>
<p>First some background, but one almost needs some sort of economic background to get the gist of what is being done. <br/> <br/> Globalists began looking at the environment as having "Natural <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/briefing-room/2022/08/18/A-New-National-Strategy-to-Reflect-Natural-Assets-on-Americas-Balance-Sheet/">Assets</a>", meaning the environment could be used as justification for economic gain. a "<a href="https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/story/management-natural-assets-key-sustainable-development-inclusive-wealth">key</a> to sustainable development". Natural assets are <a href="https://www.unescwa.org/sd-glossary/natural-assets">defined</a> as assets of the natural environment that consist of wild or produced biological assets, land, water, ecosystems, subsoil, and air. Basically anything in the environment. These assets are sometimes called "ecosystem <a href="https://www.britannica.com/science/ecosystem-services">services</a>". <br/> <br/> Using climate change hysteria, globalists plotted the latest snow job called Nature Based Solutions (NBS). Since climate change allegedly destroys everything, NBS "are <a href="https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/feature/2022/05/19/what-you-need-to-know-about-nature-based-solutions-to-climate-change">actions</a> to protect, sustainably manage, or restore natural ecosystems", or natural assets, especially if those solutions address societal challenges such as water security and disaster risk reduction, while providing biodiversity benefits.<br/> <br/> Alas, since natural solutions receive little <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVIUVVIdX30">financing</a> for preventing greenhouse gas emissions, globalists designed a new financial market that uses the environment for economic gain. The White House is on <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/briefing-room/2022/08/18/A-New-National-Strategy-to-Reflect-Natural-Assets-on-Americas-Balance-Sheet/">board</a> with its National <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Natural-Capital-Accounting-Strategy.pdf">Strategy</a> plan. Initial funding for this atrocity came out of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs <a href="https://www.cantwell.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Infrastructure%20Investment%20and%20Jobs%20Act%20-%20Section%20by%20Section%20Summary.pdf">Act</a> which was really intended to fundamentally transform America towards the Sustainable Development Goals (<a href="https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/development-agenda/">SDG</a>). <br/> <br/> On page <a href="https://www.cantwell.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Infrastructure%20Investment%20and%20Jobs%20Act%20-%20Section%20by%20Section%20Summary.pdf">112</a>, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was allocated $1 billion for a "pre-disaster mitigation program" which of course will be <a href="https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/risk-management/climate-resilience/nature-based-solutions">used</a> for nature based <a href="https://www.floods.org/news-views/fema-news/fema-publishes-new-guide-on-nature-based-solutions/">solutions</a>, promising "monetary...benefits...economic growth, green jobs, increased property values and better public health", all hornswoggle. In this April, 2022 Executive Order <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/04/27/2022-09138/strengthening-the-nations-forests-communities-and-local-economies">14072</a>, Section 4, the administration announced its plan for nature based solutions, which was followed in November, 2022 by the White House Nature Based Solutions Resource <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Nature-Based-Solutions-Resource-Guide-2022.pdf">Guide</a>. Of course this idea didn't come from the people, it came out of the United Nations (UN) COP <a href="https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/cop27">27</a> as a way to fight "climate <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Nature-Based-Solutions-Resource-Guide-2022.pdf">change</a>" and increase resilience to life. Ah yes, this president's <a href="https://blogs.edf.org/growingreturns/2023/01/12/bidens-roadmap-to-nature-based-solutions-could-be-key-to-future-resilience-planning/">brilliance</a> will lead to protection for all. And the World Economic Forum (WEF) is <a href="https://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Scaling_Investments_in_Nature_2022.pdf">drooling</a> over how much money corporations can suck from us with this sham they created.<br/> <br/> Heck, the White House has already put into place a "<a href="https://www.naturebasedsolutionsinitiative.org/news/us-government-release-nature-based-solutions-roadmap-at-cop27/">roadmap</a>" to assist moneygrubbing schmuck globalists by "Unlocking funding for <u>domestic and international projects</u>, and encouraging Federal agencies to do more to prioritize nature-based solutions in funding decisions." For those who are morbidly curious, a full review of potential funding avenues can be found <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sd.2510">here</a>. No matter which way you look at it, the cost will be borne by us serfs to the elite.<br/> <br/> The really tough part in understanding this is how profits are made. One thing for sure, it does <a href="https://www.eesi.org/papers/view/fact-sheet-nature-as-resilient-infrastructure-an-overview-of-nature-based-solutions">involve</a> restoration, protection, and conservation of nature. But <a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/02/nature-based-solutions-finance-ecosystems/">money</a> will be made now that new economic markets have been created.<br/> <br/> Natural Asset Companies (<a href="https://www.isustainableearth.com/sustainable-living/what-are-natural-asset-companies">NAC</a>) were <a href="https://cooleypubco.com/2023/10/05/nyse-listings-natural-asset-company/">created</a> for this specific <a href="https://www.esgtoday.com/nyse-to-list-new-asset-class-for-natural-asset-companies-targeting-massive-opportunity-in-ecosystem-services/">purpose</a>, "to develop an asset class that converts the value of nature and the ecoservices designed to sustain it into financial capital." An NAC allows "investors to financially back services that directly benefit the planet". Intrinsic Exchange Groups (<a href="https://www.intrinsicexchange.com/">IEG</a>) are a type of company "whose equity captures the <strong><u>value</u></strong> of natural assets and the ecosystem services they produce." IEG basically determines how much value will be assigned to nature. <br/> <br/> Wall Street is on <a href="https://unlimitedhangout.com/2021/10/investigative-reports/wall-streets-takeover-of-nature-advances-with-launch-of-new-asset-class/">board</a> but Whitney Webb hit the nail on the head, "The ultimate goal of NACs is not sustainability or conservation – it is the financialization of nature, i.e. turning nature into a commodity that can be used to keep the current, corrupt Wall Street economy booming under the guise of protecting the environment and preventing its further degradation", her words validated by this <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnsabo/2022/08/01/nature-based-solutions-20-show-me-the-money/?sh=3baa7f37db1b">author</a>. It is nothing more than another <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/nyse-investment-vehicle-natural-asset-113000086.html">form</a> of Environment, Social Governance (<a href="https://www.kiplinger.com/investing/esg/603451/natural-asset-companies-nacs-a-new-tool-for-esg-investors">ESG</a>).<br/> <br/> This <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnsabo/2022/08/01/nature-based-solutions-20-show-me-the-money/?sh=3baa7f37db1b">author</a> does a fine job in explaining with one example how to make <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/112814/whats-difference-between-capital-expenditures-capex-and-operational-expenditures-opex.asp">money</a> from this scam when it comes to water. Buy property, create a mitigation bank (buy cheap land and restore it to some ecological state that's deemed to be functional), and investors come in. As he explains it, it is like building houses only you are building wetlands. It is no <a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/05/this-is-why-it-s-good-business-to-invest-in-nature-conservation-87370deb94/">wonder</a> the corporate saturated WEF <a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/12/nature-based-solutions-help-address-climate-change/">supports</a> NBS. The World <a href="https://naturebasedsolutions.org/">Bank</a> might have given NBS a more appropriate name in this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u57WKYoXR0">video</a>, "green infrastructure".<br/> <br/> Enough of the economic lesson, back to Montana. The American Stewards for Liberty wrote an <a href="https://americanstewards.us/biden-administration-targets-5-8-million-acres-in-mt-for-30x30/">article</a> about this land grab by the feds, indicating that central Idaho will be involved in it. While the article describes the agenda to connect protected lands together in Montana, Idaho is in the <a href="https://www.thewildlifenews.com/2022/07/05/a-greater-yellowstone-national-park-proposal/">crosshairs</a> for the same <a href="https://georgewuerthner.substack.com/p/northern-rockies-ecosystem-protection">expansion</a>, that area being within the red box in the map. Private land will also be usurped in this scam whether voluntary or not and property owners will be forced to comply with restricted and controlled land use. Private property rights will go down the drain. The article also talks about NACs and describes <a href="https://www.intrinsicexchange.com/hybrid-areas">hybrid</a> areas as part of the plan.<br/> <br/> At the end of the article there is an excellent <a href="https://americanstewards.us/natural-assets-monetizing-the-air-we-breathe/">link</a> that explains how this whole scheme is only about monetizing nature, and notes the same bewilderment, "no investment professional can explain how investors will make money", but rest assured, these scallywag globalists are figuring it out.<br/> <br/> Both the <a href="https://www.fws.gov/glossary/conservation-area">USFWS</a> and Bureau of Land <a href="https://www.blm.gov/programs/national-conservation-lands/nevada/red-rock-canyon">Management</a> have conservation areas. However, according to the Department of <a href="https://www.doi.gov/blog/americas-public-lands-explained">Interior</a> "<u>national conservation areas are designated by Congress</u>" (page <a href="https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/R45340.pdf">CRS-8</a>) and only by the Bureau of Land Management, not the USFWS. Is the USFWS using a slight of hand by leaving out "national" or mixing national in with other <a href="https://ecos.fws.gov/ServCat/DownloadFile/225315">wording</a>? Or is this really just another White House violation of the law?<br/> <br/> Public scoping on this action ends November 27, 2023. The American Stewards article has recommendations for action at the end. Although the deadline for amendments has <a href="https://rules.house.gov/bill/118/hr-4821">passed</a>, H.R. <a href="https://appropriations.house.gov/sites/republicans.appropriations.house.gov/files/documents/FY24%20Interior%20Environment%20and%20Related%20Agencies%20-%20Bill%20Summary.pdf">4821</a>, sponsored by Rep. Mike <a href="https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/118/hr4821">Simpson</a>, has little chance of passing. Regardless, Idahoans should contact congressional representatives (especially <a href="https://simpson.house.gov/contact/">Simpson</a>) and state representatives, ask them what Idaho can do for protection against this 30x30 agenda, the proposed conservation area, and ban NAC activity. Perhaps everyone should consider putting together a bill for state reps to sponsor.<br/> <br/> Definitely send an email to the USFWS at <a href="mailto:MOHWCA@fws.gov">MOHWCA@fws.gov</a> and let them know <u>it appears they are proceeding without congressional approval</u>, and if anything, this action requires an Environmental Impact Statement.<br/> <br/> There is so much more to be written on this as it does extend into every aspect of our lives. This isn't being done for the environment, it is about taking away land use through conservation easements and ruling over how people live.</p>

<p>After reading your article about the National Archive wanting to replace the message and relics that are those of our Founding Fathers and our national Documents, I am appalled. I am upset because once again we have a small group of people that want to disgrace our country and once again use the excuse of racism to divide us. I am upset because as a Black person I find it degrading that they won't allow me to use my own judgment on the matter.</p>
<p>Our Founding Fathers and the Documents that they left us are important to the history of our Republic. They represent every American, regardless of ethnic background.<br/> They should be looked upon as items of respect, and dignity, and our Founders should be held in high regards as people who sought to share a vision of American unity for our citizens both then and now.</p>
<p>There is no need for "safe spaces" at our national monuments or government buildings. What is needed is spaces for our students, and others to learn the true history of our Founding Documents, and our nations history in our schools and libraries. <br/> When citizens know the truth, they respect and revere our nations culture.</p>
<p>The keepers of our Founding Documents and buildings should be held accountable to safeguard the American Dream, not disrespect it.</p>
<p>We don't need Diversity, Equity, Inclusion; or any other form of Critical Race Theory at these sites. What we need is instruction in the truth.</p>We Are At War!tag:wethepeopleusa.ning.com,2021-03-26:2482704:BlogPost:3367072021-03-26T14:32:46.000ZMhttps://wethepeopleusa.ning.com/profile/McFixit1

This war of ideologies is being waged against morality by the liberal enemies of America. I'm sad to say there are many Americans who are fighting on the wrong side of history. Very many politicians are on the wrong side of History too, most of the Democrats and all the RINO's.</span></div>

That way is Article-V of the Constitution. It was put there for the People to use, not for Congress to use exclusively. Early on Congress usurped that right and brainwashed the people into believing only congress was capable of safely making those decisions. This came about the time Congress started seeing itself as the rulers of the people, not their servants.</span></div>

<p>DES MOINES, Iowa -- Democrat Cory Booker dropped out of the presidential race Monday, ending a campaign whose message of unity and love failed to resonate in a political era marked by chaos and anxiety.</p>
<p>New Jersey 101.5's Eric Scott predicted Booker's dropout <a href="https://nj1015.com/cory-booker-preparing-to-end-presidential-bid-looks-like-it-analysis/">was pending in a news analysis earlier Monday</a>.</p>
<p>His departure now leaves a field that was once the most diverse in history with just one remaining African American candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick.</p>
<p>Since launching his campaign last February, Booker, a U.S. senator from New Jersey, struggled to raise the type of money required to support a White House bid. He was at the back of the pack in most surveys and failed to meet the polling requirements needed to participate in Tuesday's debate. Booker also missed last month's debate and exits the race polling in low single digits in the early primary states and nationwide.</p>
<p>In an email to supporters, Booker said that he "got into this race to win" and that his failure to make the debates prevented him from raising raise the money required for victory. </p>
<p>"Our campaign has reached the point where we need more money to scale up and continue building a campaign that can win -- money we don't have, and money that is harder to raise because I won't be on the next debate stage and because the urgent business of impeachment will rightly be keeping me in Washington," he said.</p>
<p>Booker had warned that the looming impeachment trial of President Donald Trump would deal a "big, big blow" to his campaign by pulling him away from Iowa in the final weeks before the Feb. 3 Iowa caucuses. He hinted at the challenges facing his campaign last week in an interview on The Associated Press' "Ground Game" podcast.</p>
<p>"If we can't raise more money in this final stretch, we won't be able to do the things that other campaigns with more money can do to show presence," he said.</p>
<p>In his email to supporters, Booker pledged to do "everything in my power to elect the eventual Democratic nominee for president," though his campaign says he has no immediate plans to endorse a candidate in the primary.</p>
<p>It's a humbling finish for someone who was once lauded by Oprah Winfrey as the "rock star mayor" who helped lead the renewal of Newark, New Jersey. During his seven years in City Hall, Booker was known for his headline-grabbing feats of local do-goodery, including running into a burning building to save a woman, and his early fluency with social media, which brought him 1.4 million followers on Twitter when the platform was little used in politics. His rhetorical skills and Ivy League background often brought comparisons to President Barack Obama, and he'd been discussed as a potential presidential contender since his arrival in the Senate in 2013.</p>
<p>Now, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has mastered the art of the selfie on social media. Another former mayor, Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, is seen as the freshest face in the field. And Booker's message of hope and love seemed to fall flat during an era characterized perhaps most strongly by Democratic fury over the actions of the Trump administration.</p>THE POTUS IS COMIMG!!!!!!

<p>January 28, 2020... the night that turns NJ CRANBERRY RED... President Trump has scheduled a rally at the Wildwood Convention Center. For me, this is a most epic event for NJ Conservatives and the State GOP. </p>
<p>Despite the Radical Liberal Base with it's choke hold on every true citizen of this state, the opportunity is right for the end to the nasty butt end jokes, the blatant disregard of hard working middle American's, the outrageous pandering to criminals and illegal infiltrators obtaining benefits and privileges that were never earned, taxing and added outrageous fees that has led many to go out of the state and leave homes and loved ones they hold so dear. </p>
<p>Now is the time to highlight the attributes that state once gave in the founding of this Republic and can again be a valuable asset to all who live, work and visit here. Only a True Conservative and True Constitutional Administration in NJ, can NJ strive even further. Our 2 Federal representatives Booker and Menendez has, as most Radical Socialist Left Progressives do, has made NJ weak and feeble from the very vile policies that has infected other parts of the country. We must now say .... NO MORE. If ever there was a time for the state to claim it's precious place in a viable and prosperous tomorrow, today is the day to claim it's intent to move forward and reject the Democratic Party for it is no longer anything worthy of that title, no has it ever looking back at it's actions and degradation of everything they have ever touched or was in charge of.</p>
<p><em><strong>Cranberry Red</strong></em> is now the the cry to free ourselves from the belligerent forces that is hell bent on see this country and it's people fail for a false so called "Utopian Ideology" that will surly bring misery and despair. </p>
<p>If any member is within a drive range you can be comfortable with, please consider attending in support of the POTUS and the true citizens of NJ that needs all the support from our Conservative Family for a better tomorrow.</p>As this day sees the sunet, The Spirit of it should never die......tag:wethepeopleusa.ning.com,2019-12-25:2482704:BlogPost:2926962019-12-25T23:34:59.000ZHoffi Gwlithlyshttps://wethepeopleusa.ning.com/profile/HoffiGwlithlys

<p>In my house, the festivities and fuss has come to a gentle end after completing the exchanges of gifts, and a meal together as a family and a moment of calm before I head out tonight to protect and serve. We never take a day or a breath for granted for tomorrow is never guaranteed. </p>
<p>We discussed this year how the times of today may or may not have common threads of the time when Jesus was born.</p>
<p>A most interesting topic that seemed to find us but one I am glad we had. But the take away from the entire conversation is.... the more things change....the more they surely stay the same.</p>
<p>But the solution boiled down too.... the need to strengthen the soul. All agreed the the soul has been weaken and lost and to affirm/reaffirm our Sacramental Promise of Confirmation, take to our chest the Shield of St. Michael the Archangel as the well deserved Gift to Christ on this his 2019+ Birthday. The Christ Child has grown, he knows what faces his followers and the believers of his Father and skirmishes have increased and lives have been lost to the destructive entities that have placed a target to deny and demonize the existence or the need for the Trinity.</p>
<p>So.... this Christmas, the gifts we exchanged where limited to need, cool PJ's, socks, gloves.... a special box of candy.... a few things for each, but a gift of spiritual renewal as the 2019th Birthday of Christ that we will be all we Confirmed ourselves to be. He is the reason for the season, that is without question, yet 2020 appears to be the year to truly live up to our Promise as he was born to do and lived up to his.</p>
<p>I offer deeply from my hear to all of my WTHPUSA Family and Friends that you and your family had a wonderful and special time with family and friends in fun birthday celebration for Jesus..... now that the festivities are slowing down, extend a true spiritual gift to Him, your strength and confirmation that many took to always stand by his side and never forget the strength and guidance of the Trinity. </p>
