| A chapter is dedicated to Martha's story. |
“It’s time to counter the
powerful Green voices that are dictating policy and harassing property owners,”
said Tom DeWeese in an open letter to the American public.
Farmers are demanding land
trust reform to stop abusive practices of land trust agents who often disregard
the rights of property owners and use local officials to intimidate and harass
farmers with onerous fines and audits. A glaring example is the video showing a
Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC) agent who, in a German Stasi police
manner, demands to inspect Martha Boneta’s closets. http://youtube.com/watch?v=LAywKw93ucs
According to Tom DeWeese, “The
Piedmont Environmental Council, an elitist cabal masquerading as a conservation
group, has repeatedly overstepped its authority under the Virginia Conservation
Easement Act.”
The fact that PEC was successful
in bullying for eight years Fauquier County farmer Martha Boneta in spite of the
well-publicized and well-documented “transgressions” against her farm is an
indication that other “control and power-hungry groups” could violate property
rights of Virginians across the Commonwealth and of Americans across the
country.
Allowing the public trust
to be violated in one area is setting a bad precedent for other well-funded
groups like PEC to impose their control and will through underhanded venues on
farmers, landowners and businesses in general as has been the case around the
country.
Preserving private
property and the rule of law in our nation is essential to safeguarding
liberty. If the rule of law is no longer
respected, the Founding Fathers’ America is in jeopardy. “The first act of a
tyrant is to take away your property rights,” said DeWeese.
Virginians and the
American Policy Center are calling for:
-
The General
Assembly to enact Land Trust Reforms “to end welfare to the rich in the form of
sale of tax credits”
-
Virginia General
Assembly to create Land Trust “fair business practices, consumer protections,
and sanctions when Land Trust abuse occurs”
-
Virginia General
Assembly to develop a “framework” to safeguard the public interest against Land
Trust agents who engage in malicious and counterproductive business practices
-
Legislation enactment
by the Virginia General Assembly to curb and “reign” in abuses of the Piedmont
Environmental Council and other analogous land trusts.
I dedicated a chapter to
Martha Boneta’s story in my book, “U.N. Agenda 21: Environmental Piracy.” http://www.amazon.com/U-N-Agenda-21-Environmental-Piracy-ebook/dp/B009WC6JXO/ref=sr_1_1_twi_2/186-3038350-6259617?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1414163958&sr=1-1&keywords=UN+Agenda+21%3A+Environmental+Piracy
The glaring, behind closed
doors collusion is evident in Martha’s ordeal which has stretched for eight
years. The Daily Signal ran her story recently. http://dailysignal.com/2014/10/20/farmers-harassment-claim-against-green-group-to-get-airing/
It is vitally important to
protect our property rights in a Constitutional Republic. Unfortunately, the
left brainwashed our society into believing that we live in a democracy where
the will of the leftist majority is forcing the rest to comply. But we live
more and more in a corporatist atmosphere where the international bankers have
stripped individuals of their rights bit by bit with the help of “green” legislators
and environmentalist NGOs.
As John Adams so
eloquently said, “The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is
not as sacred as the laws of God and that there is not a force of law and
public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence.” (John Adams, A
Defense of the American Constitutions, 1787)
