Roadless Rule Attack in the Senate

[Harvey_NW]

So why don't we address the maintenance backlog on the already existing roads first before adding this huge workload to agencies that are already underfunded? If this was truly about wildfire prevention, they wouldn't be trying to starve the FS and other relevant agencies while adding an enormous workload for them. If you're for this because you want to be able to drive all over the forests then I can at least understand your perspective...but let's not pretend the politicians supporting this amendment really care about YOUR access. They want it open for commercial use.They've given us example after example the last several years they have no appreciation for our forests and wild places.

I agree with the first part of your statement, but see it the opposite with the last portion. I'm not saying we need to go punch a bunch of new roads in, but right now (in WA) there are hundreds of thousands of acres of unmanaged and overgrown forest, with plenty of closed roads already there, because they STOPPED commercial use. If they fire back up, the forest gets managed and thinned, animals come back, and the public has access.

Fires.

Fires that burn the soil in such an inferno that it decomposes everything down to bear mineral earth, spread through crown fires that race across the tops of the forest at tens or hundreds of miles per hour.

You know, it is funny because a good fire is one that burns down to bear earth. At least up here they will give 30 years of good browse (10-40 years after).

I'm using it exactly as intended.

Those who want to kill off hunting are the same people funding and orchestrating roadless rules - and they're the same people funding and orchestrating wolf reintroductions and anti-gun laws.

They always push these things while wearing a mask of benevolence.

Because it suckers in the Karens and "useful idiots" at the local level - by convincing them they're all just being good people. It's the very definition of how you manipulate useful idiots - just organize them from behind a mask of benevolence.

Each of these issues is simply a salami-slice approach along tentacles that reach back to the same root ideology. Google any of the ones mentioned and add in "Agenda 2030" or the Tides Foundation, and you'll find their leadership and money are all interconnected. And the higher you get from the local Karens, the more intense and narrow those connections become.

The people who advocate for turning every inch of land into industrial production are the ones trying to scrap the roadless rule. They use useful idiots to propagate their propaganda while intending to strip everything. There agenda is to make you utterly dependent on corporations for everything, a Jim Crow for all social structure, while they sell our resources to China.

At least that is as accurate as your position.
