A Letter to the Governor of Florida; Rick Scott

From the Publisher: Fisheries are an integral part of our nation's food security -- or should be. It is time we began treating them as such -- albeit a food source directly tied to the protection of aquatic ecosystems and science-based harvest levels -- and not just the plaything of a science agency.

A Revelation, of Revolution, for a Resolution

A Revelation, of Revolution, for a Resolution

BY Gary Anderson

To most of the American “John Doe” public, we are not as involved in the ongoing of our local restrictions through government entities, much less, State or Federal governmental decision-making, unless it actually effects our real lives. As we spend our time, in this fast paced electronic cellular world, watching out for our own, the family, our property and ourselves. This leaves little time to watch the world changing around us as the play-offs are happening, FaceBook is a prime time virtue and taking care of our own families becomes are number one achievement. The problem is, we as American citizens, need to take notice of the new laws that are effecting our lives but to an extent that it is creeping up from behind and if we do-not watch out, our so called “freedoms” will be swallowed up with in our so revered America, that once stood as Freedom! We, as individuals and as a collective called citizens must come together in solidarity and take our American citizenship seriously. We, together, as the People, must protect our rights, before we awaken one gloomy day and find our “waters, land and air”, have been taken away from us due to our lack of attention or ignorance!

Regardless of what State you live, we as Americans, have rights. You know from watching news reports, the internet or from conversations with your friends or area locals, that our environment is under siege and at a mindset of municipal war between corporations, Foundations and Governmental entities, such as our President, certain members of Congress, NOAA, PEW, EDF, TIDES, in wanting to lay claim to your lands, mineral rights, water and even the ocean to include the fish in it, just to name a few. Did you know there is a Foundation out there comprised of many a Corporation and Congressional members called The Shadow Government? When researching this dark entity, you can read for yourself some of what we are all up against.

Though many things are happening in our country at lightning speed, as Americans we have what Thomas Jefferson described as "certain inalienable rights" and it is with this right that we can fight! We have the blessing to Educate, Organize and plan our destiny rather than have someone tell us what to do. It is time to stand up and make a difference, be heard across your communities and the world. It is not like yesteryear where mail took a week or more to go across the country. Between FaceBook, Twitter, Linkin, and a range of other social media outlets, we can spread the word that we as a people make the rules that run government, not the other way around because if we do not stand up and ask for accountability, our communities, air, soil and water will be ruined. Under the rulings from NOAA and its regulatory agencies, if we do nothing as we are now, we can expect lawyers, legislators and corporate public relations persons to tell us we must be like sheep and follow the laws and the “regulatory”* systems that provide "protection," which, in reality, means allowing state agencies to issue permits to license the destruction of our sea shores, communities, jobs and maybe even destruction of the species in the oceans to which they are meant to protect. We must band together in a unity to exercise our fundamental right to self-government in the communities where we live by adopting a community rights ordinance that asserts our civil and democratic rights and then prohibits those corporate activities which violate our rights. * In considering the meaning of "regulatory," one must understand that there is no option to say "no" within that framework. In a community rights-based approach, however, the power to decide the fate of our community comes from us, the citizens, exercising our inalienable right, which is mandated in The Ninth Amendment (Amendment IX) to the United States Constitution, which is part of the Bill of Rights, addressing the rights of the people that are not specifically enumerated in the Constitution, to making local governing decisions that protect human and civil rights.

To put this in a simpler ideology, let us consider phrases like State land use, zoning laws and Sector Separation which is used in parceling up the ocean, are but a case in point. In a regulatory structure, let us say that to burglarize is a "regulated" and "permitted" agenda by state government. To this, one could argue that this is a violation of our fundamental rights, but the state, our municipal lawyers, and the burglars, could all argue that our community is "preempted" by the state from our right, prohibiting burglary. To mitigate the worst effects of burglary, we can "zone" the burglars so that theft is only "permitted" in our oceans and tributaries to, but not in our houses or our own property. Issuing licenses to corporations like, EDF, PEW, NOAA and the TIDE's Foundation that "permit" them to harm our communities fishing grounds is just as absurd. Understanding that corporate attorneys and lobbyists are the primary drafters of regulatory law at the federal and state level of government, one can resolve that the laws our governments adopt reflect the interest of large corporations, not the people. We have only to look at the devastation of the commercial fishing industry in “regulatory” agencies closers to proposed closers of Atlantic blue-fin tuna, Red Snapper, Blue Fish, Grouper, Halibut, to name but a few, not to mention that the United States of America's government is the only culprit in the world shutting down these fisheries. All the rest of the world is allowed to “burglarize” the fish. The U.S. And its agencies are doing this based on inaccurate numbers and made up data, enforced and we follow?

When laws harm, the people and the environment, they are illegitimate and it is our duty to either change those laws or replace the laws with ones that secure and protect our rights.

Citizens of our great country, the United States of America, have, in the past changed the way and the existing laws we had, in order to give us our “ inalienable rights” to all. I write this in tribute to Martin Luther King as today is a holiday contributed to him. We were a country that once permitted slavery of Africans, to which that was abolished and later the ability of both women and Blacks alike were given the right to vote. During the time that women and African Americans had not the right was because of they were considered “property under the law” and these were regulations and laws until citizens changed them.

We must begin by understanding that we have the Right to Self-Government in the communities where we live, and that we are born with “certain inalienable rights.” The only way we will be able to protect our communities is by exercising our rights of local control. We have the choice to protect what we use to have and pass it along to future generations, or sit back, do nothing and see it destroyed.
This is the time to speak with one voice, Solidarity, in the language of of the people, by the people, for the people. Stand up and fight! Twitter this, tell your friends and neighbors, FaceBook your concerns. Speak out as this is but the only way for a revelation, of a peaceful revolution, for a resolution.

The President Hands our Fisheries to the United Nations...

2011-01-17T08:30:00.000-08:00

You got it right. Read this post on the forums at TheOnlineFisherman.com to read about the latest in what appears to be a complete globalization of America. Bypassing our Congress and the Judiciary, the LOST treaty is written into law with the strike of a pen. A pen carrying with it the death of America as we know it. A free and sovereign nation. With the likes of Syria on the Human Rights Commission of that organization, it will not be long before UN personnel are threatening my life if I want to fish for grouper.

What is the United Nations? Why are we there? Why is it in New York? Why do we support hate speak, which abounds in its polished marble halls? Hatred for you and me. Hatred for sport fishing, hatred for guns, and a hatred of Christianity and anything 'spiritual' outside yoga and the tofu bar. Hatred for free speech and hatred for you and me.

Boga Grips are fatal :)

2011-01-10T10:13:00.000-08:00

At a meeting hosted by CCA yesterday in Texas. a college elitist pHd by the name of Andy Danylchuk said that "I would get sued for saying this, but Boga grips kill the fish they hold".

I've contacted the people from Boga to see what they think. This man is on a life mission -- and Grant money -- to show how Catch and Release fishing methods kill 90% of the fish you think you're releasing. This man is an idiot, who already knows what he's trying to "prove" before he gets taxpayer dollars to tell us we're not so smart.

Check this guy out. This is the kind of elitist college professors who feel that their world -- and their opinion -- is worth something. Talking to a guide -- Greg Poland, let's say -- who have released thousands and many thousands of perfectly healthy fish -- one might find differing opinion.

Please begin contacting the professor and asking him what he would like to see happen to sport fishing. Just a simple question. Is there place for the Florida Keys? Our bays? Our existing resources? Or is it true that without the professor's assistance, that the world will be devoid of all fish by 2040???

http://forum-network.org/speaker/andy-danylchuk

Ask him another simple question. Does he support the UNICEF global approach for Spacial Marine Planning? I can bet I know the answer. It's not about the fish, ladies and gentlemen. It's about the money. Follow the money. How much in grants has the professor received? And from where? How many scientists that do NOT agree with globalization of the fisheries and waterways are given grants? I can almost answer that one before I check, as well.

Join the Recreational Fishing Alliance. Today. We need each other to keep people like this away from us.

Dolphins are Nonhuman Persons

2011-01-08T15:33:00.000-08:00

Dolphins are now to be classified as non-human persons, all in the name of giving them a special place on this earth. Courtesy of great minds like:
"Dr Jane Lubchenko, Head of NOAA, who is of a Fellowship with AAAS, has had the arrogance to exclaim that sector management is not costing any jobs and that there has been quite a bit of consolidation within the name of science, as to redefining the way we think of other marine creatures."...READ MORE

Why Not?

2010-12-31T12:34:00.000-08:00

Why not band together as "The Environmental Right" to kick the Environmental Left to the curb and take back our fisheries from these tofu eating idiots.

And so we gather...

2010-12-24T08:08:00.000-08:00

This blog, a website (under construction) called TheEnvironmentalRight.com, a Facebook presence by the same name, and working with and for The Recreational Fishing Alliance, along with publishing American's fastest-growing online fishing eDaily -- TheOnlineFisherman.com, we feel the need to gather.

Why is it that you have the be a progressive democrat to be considered an environmentalist? We contend that the true environmentalists are more likely to be found in Tea Party rallies than tofu-barbeques.

We eat red meat, and we pray we're not too late to save our glorious country and the Freedoms written down for us by the founding Fathers.
