Wasting Your Money; Climate Change/Catch Shares!

Remember just how effective NOAA was during the Gulf Oil Spill? What about its fame to incompetent management through the corrupt and disposition of funds generated by fines and property seizures from fishermen? Climate Change Scares to Catch Share Ponzi schemes sponsored with your money by and for privileged industry like the EDF; why is that?

Dr. Jane Lubchenco, the environmentalist rock star and former vice chairperson of the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), was appointed as the administrator of NOAA by President Obama. She has installed a team of Eco-zealots, and they have a Climate Service Office ready and waiting to proceed ,with only congressional approval standing in their way, too which has not happened even though she has already spent monies in creating the positions needed to run her Czar creation of feudalism on the fisheries. The six regional directors were appointed on 10 September 2010. All the elements promised by Dr. Lubchenco are in place, even though Congress said “NO,” she is ready anyway. Wonder what that is costing us in tax dollars? The FY2011 Continuing Resolution, set by Congress, also prohibits expending funds on specific fisheries management techniques. NOAA’s response: issuing a legalistic Ziggy-zagging on parsing and hairsplitting, to find ways to fund their games.

Remember the article about sea level rise along the Maryland shore? It was another “Best available information” they could get as there was not any scientific data to back up such. A great Shock & Awe or article to catch the human eye of fear in gloom to doom; kudos to a great fiction story but to how many believed this garbage? The article appeared in the Climate Watch Magazine, which is a feature of the NOAA Climate Service web portal.

The apple falls not far from the tree and as Dr. Jane Lubchenco, was, is or whatever still has involvement with EDF, one of her founders and EDF are the extreme of environmentalist positions. EDF tool of choice for fisheries are “Catch Shares” or also referred to as Catch Shares Management and sometimes derisively termed as a cap and trade but to whatever you call them, “Fisheries are depleted and fishermen lose their jobs as “Catch Shares” march forward making monies for those whom are called stock, I mean, stakeholders. Now to those who do not know what a Catch Share is, here is a quote from Wenonah Hauter, of Newsvine.com, “A means to essentially privatize fishing, catch shares divide up the fish in any given region, often granting fishing privileges to a handful of larger corporate interests while pushing out smaller-scale, more traditional fishermen. Since they award those operations that fish the fastest and hardest, they incentivize the use of larger-scale boats, more damaging gear, and wasteful fishing practices that hurt fish stocks and the habitats on which they depend.”

If EDF loves NOAA and its position on its flawed data to best information and science, EDF ought to take it over with in the private sector and Congress could release NOAA from its purse strings, to which they would gladly do except our fearless leader, President Obama to is in bed with this Cap and trade bunch. We must tell Congress not to allow NOAA to regroup and we must make sure President Obama will be what I want to be; a one termed official! He had his time in and his colors are not that of my red, white and blue, as I stand for the American Fisherman, the Constitution and the use of God everywhere freedom rings through-out our Republic! Hell No to Catch Shares and Hell No to those organizations which stand by them. Not in my country, not in my town and not on my oceans are the speech of Americans everywhere. Catch Shares to Climate Change, sell it to China as they may be in need of a Eco-zealot environmentalist rock star, to motivate them into a Catch Shares Management Program, as we here back in America are not into another Cap in Shade deal to steal our rights to jobs to fish for the advancement of board members of the EDF on my dime!

Help Me, Help You achieve this goal because as a team we are unbeatable. God Bless America! “Principles Before Party, Personality, and Profits, with Deeds not Words.”

I am serious! Times are hard, I know, being on Disability, but just a buck, one measly dollar, 100 cents makes sense to reclaiming Florida to America! If everybody who liked my articles to the Sandbox paid one dollar, today, I'd have enough to give a start for a run to save our country. Enough to recruit more volunteers and enough to pay the filing fees; with left overs to go towards our homeless. I have plans for us all. I have a plan for you in stopping the insanity and bringing order back into our lives; just for a buck. Will You Please Donate to our future?

Halibut - Save the Halibut Charters

Save the Halibut Charters

For years, Alaskans have enjoyed fishing with family and friend aboard charters for halibut. This is in immediate danger! The National Marine Fisheries Service is setting up to further restrict the industry and, in result, will destroy a way of life for thousands. 

We all know how interconnected Alaska is and many local economies depend on the halibut charters to bring business. The plan is to not only to create Charter IFQ's but to reduce the halibut bag limit to just one and create a size limit as well. Please click on this link for the petition, fill in out and send it in. Thank you!

Thank You All in Saving a lifetime of anglers to which wish not to have Halibut fishing but a memory of the past, based on a non-scientific value; "the best available science" is not really anything more than the best available guess at the expense of those who make a living taking people fishing.  Giving way to a commercial industry where discards, are but fish too small too keep so they are killed out right with no regards to life in general and their IFQ's are tonnes in selling our fish to somebody else. You can personally thank Dr. Jane Lubchenco  of NOAA/NMFS for these new ideas and, of course places like Walmart, who stand to make millions off of our fish, all the while putting the little guys and guides out of business. Please fill out the form and mail it in. You will be glad you did in knowing you saved somebodies job, maybe.

"Catch Shares A Disaster" Says Mayor Lang; Bedford Mass.

It's Just that Simple; THEY DO NOT WORK but the fisherman do want to work. Why is OBAMA putting them out of business?

Every year, by law, NOAA puts out a fisheries report to the Congress. This is NOAA's chance to show off in the very best light. Table 1 of NOAA's annual report to Congress on the 2009 Status of U.S. Fisheries covers 522 fish stocks. Twenty-three percent of the most important 230 stocks have no data, being termed either "unknown" or "undefined." Is this what we have to show for forty years of effort -- a three-quarter understanding of our important fish stocks? Overall, of the 522 stocks, 51% have no data. No data on over half of the fish stocks, and this is our best available science?

AGENDA 21; A Constitution Killer!

I am but a messenger to the People!
Knowledge is power as is, Power is Knowledge and the more one arms themselves with knowledge, the better one is in fighting off obstacles to which can and will impede upon our Liberties to Freedoms! There are those upon us, to whom would bring us down and wish us to live as they do; not as we do. Freedom must be preserved and fought for in order to keep it. It does come with a price and that price is for you to stand up and support the Constitution of the United States our Bill of Rights and to say no to the Rio Convention of the United Nations, in its attempt to infiltrate our Country through various forms of malignancies which will take away your basic rights and freedoms.

You have heard of it in the past as, Smart Growth,
 The 2050 Plan,
Growth Management,
 Comprehensive Planning,
 Sustainable Growth,
 ICLEI
and they all have one thing in common; Agenda 21!
Catch Shares
Sector Separation
Marine Spatial Planning
Coastal Spatial Planning
Again, another chapter with in but still AGENDA 21!

Agenda 21, “Sustainable Development” The Fall of America
“My guns are out and I am taking aim at the UN’s Agenda 21, an initiative which started in 1992. Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.”

Sustainability and the implications of climate change bring a different managerial twist to any organization. Learning and communicating with each other as government entities, businesses and major institutions will help to facilitate this change. Eventually, it will be integrated into how we do business. Public Management magazine, a publication from ICMA, drove this home: “Educating residents about sustainability is important. When speaking to them, it may be good to refer to sustainability as being about local people, local places and local prosperity. To bankers, speak about living off the interest not the principle. To farmers, speak about not eating your seed corn. To the elderly, speak about their grandchildren. To veterans speak about our nation’s security. To scout groups, speak about leaving your campsite better than you found it… speak out” We need to keep speaking.
Strategies
• Strengthen regional and local community partnerships
• Integrate sustainability into all leadership systems
• Be green government role models
• Create ongoing outreach, education, and dialogue with the community about the implications of climate change and the benefits of sustainability
“Our survey found widespread agreement among CEOs about what the next era of sustainability will look like: It is one where sustainability is not only a separate strategic initiative, but something fully integrated into the strategy and operations of a company. As one emerging economy CEO told us, ‘Currently, the burning issue is how to better incorporate sustainability into daily practice.’”

They are going to tell you who, what, when and where to do it and how but only with their consent. Since when did the Government tell me what to do? Is this the rebirth of Mother Russia back in the days of the cold war. We tore down the Berlin Wall and again, we too can tear down this government of the government by the government for the government come election day! Vote out the scoundrels and send those modern day Tories to the Communitarian Packing! So, to whom asked on the blog is Dr. Jane a member of ICLEI? What do you think, it ain't the Girl Scouts!
