Dude, I know what a false flag is. I believe the conflict in Vietnam was escalated because of one. I see what you're saying, and I will even give you some credit; it's possible. I just don't think it's likely. Do they happen? Ya, I think they do. Is the Bundy situation one of them? Nope.
Anyway, I was just poking fun at the fact that you can't make a post without mentioning socialism, progressives, and now false flags. I was semi-serious about disclosure though; what are your thoughts on that? My prediction is before 2020 we will have it.
I don't know anyone who is in any militia, that I know of. I do know some BLM people, though. I even knew a one-time chief of the BLM from Utah. I read a lot of stuff. I read some left-wing wackos, I could even count some marxists as "friends". I know some CFR people, I am related to some, as well as the local affiliate the Salt Lake Committee on Foreign Relations. I have one friend who has been since I knew him first, a UN official.
when I was a kid, I was most impressed by my grandpa, an absolute Democratic partisan. I sorta got it from him that "Republicans" don't care about people, just money. I tried to get Lyndon LaRouche on the Democratic Party ticket here in Utah in the year 2000. I voted for him a couple of times when he was on the ticket. I am related to a former Democratic congressmen from Utah enough that I have sat on his lawn chairs and drank his cool-aid. I have worked for Democratic people quite happily. They treated me very good. I have also worked for people who are close to Benjamin Netanyahu, who have homes in Israel. I have worked with people from Iran, Taiwan, Afghanistan, Japan. . . worked for a Japanese company once. . . .,
I have good reason to believe Bill Clinton took the Democratic Party over the cliff and made it into a mere Republican-controlled subsidiary, considering the nature of David Rockefeller's influence today. I believe Unions have generally been co-opted by management interests as well. I think the nature of the UN is basically fascist in that elected officials no longer have much influence and corporate interests do.
I know Nelson Rockefeller pretty much "owned" Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines, and I know that the Kennedys pretty much "owned" Benigno Aquino and subsequently his wife Corazon. I invested in mining corporations in the Philippines still owned principally by the Marcos family. My first wife's uncle was a high official in the Marcos administration, my second wife worked for a Utah State Democratic Party chairman, my third wife is very active in Utah Republican Party politics, and is this year a delegate to the State GOP convention and a supporter of Mia Love. She was formerly a big supporter of a black Illinois senatorial candidate running against Barry Obama, and others.
I ran once for the Utah house as a "Constitution Party" candidate, and got an endorsement from a gay rights group and about 380 votes, even. I am thinking of starting a third party called the "American Principles Party", nominally centered on issues of human liberty and the rights of ordinary persons. I'm sorta anti-Authoritarian, having been sorta that way myself and addicted to my own ideas. Trying to recover from the delusions of "rightness".
I have a personal interest in grazing rights, and it would be financially favorable to me in a rather important way if my "grazing preference" were solidly in my hands, even to the extent that it meant I had to pay property tax on it.
I think government "management" of lands encumbered with a grazing property right is still good, provided only that it is uncorrupt and that nobody thinks I don't "own" the grazing use.
Utah, and other states, would benefit greatly if grazing, mineral, and other beneficial uses of land were taxable holdings, and I think it could be better managed locally than nationally. It is entirely true that the forage consumed by a cow in a month is worth $20 as a basic rental rate, and that a grazing right is worth about as much as five cows, that is $5000 per cow that can be fed on grazing allotment. Thus Bundy's grazing right is worth at least $5 M, and the government should pay him that much if say, a turtle or a solar plant is the higher and best use of it. The water right is additional. . . .
I could go on. Maybe it will take me twenty more years to do full disclosure.
