Interview with Dr Crabtree about the Red Snapper

EPA 's tool for UN Agenda 21 Call it "Sustainable Development" and they'll think it's good 2013 budget $174 mil for sustainable fisheries

Environmental Defense Fund, a leading national nonprofit organization, creates transformational solutions to the most serious environmental problems. EDF links science, economics, law and innovative private-sector partnerships. , a leading national nonprofit organization, creates transformational solutions to the most serious environmental problems. EDF links science, economics, law and innovative private-sector partnerships; which cost fisherman to hunters and rural farmers too a loose of their rights from the land and the sea, all in the name of saving something, when really its usually about lining the pockets of those who really do care; About themselves and Money, money, money! It makes the world go around.

• $174 million for sustainable fisheries work by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which supports the science and management needed to support the commercial fishing industry that supports 1 million jobs and yields more than $32 billion in income every year.
• $28 million for the National Catch Share Program, a critical part of the nation's strategy to return its fisheries to abundance, the same level adopted by the Congress last year.(P.S. NOTICE that the National Catch Share Program link, above is referred to you by EDF? A NGO, not a government office or affiliate, yet they are in charge? It's ALL ABOUT POWER & MONEY and to hell with the whatever it's saving because it is a PONZI to which the public has yet to understand. I only hope, John Q. Public will awaken in time, before we all loose our great outdoors.

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?

The communistic manifesto of America; AGENDA 21

WE WILL WIN BACK WHAT HAS BEEN STOLEN FROM THEE! HEED THESE WORDS:
The truth shall set us free as a people and a nation again! All to whom worship our Stars & Stripes,it is bipartisan by nature, as Americans all are called upon to rid this nation of the creeping evil at our back door. Agenda 21 and to all that follow in its footsteps, in a running down of our beloved America, I say NO! You will not trample on our Bill of Rights, Constitution, ways to which we work and play. Dictation of our fisheries to fishing with our children will not be taken away; President or not; you will not trample on my rights as you already have the American People. Why do you lie? Has agenda 21 consumed your soul too?

Help us in our fight for the right to fish and live free in the land we call the United States of America. The media is afraid of it so much they refuse to talk about it and maybe it will just go away? Follow me as our leadership grows in the colors of Red, White and Blue.

Americans and the American news media are all but ignoring the shenanigans by those who worship at the altar of the United Nations. The big story these days is the conflict between the U.S. Congress and President Barack Obama over the proposed debt ceiling increase, cuts in spending and the Democrat Party's favorite activity: Raising taxes on the rich. The real problem, is with the media's coverage of this United Nations labyrinth known as Agenda 21. Created in 1992 and implemented in incremental actions by the U.N. and its supporters in the U.S., E.U., and other countries whose populations are eager to benefit from the work of others especially those enjoying success in the United States.

Congress never approved the implementation of Agenda 21 programs in education, economics, the environment and other areas and though other presidents have recognized this scurvy to a scorched earth policy, President Obama, at the end of the Lame Duck session of Congress in January, as all were going home, did the Senates job for them in ratifying the LOST Convention or as we know it Agenda 21 of the Land of the Sea Treaty!

Agenda 21's, International Council of Local Environmental Initiative, ICLEI, have made deals with local governments numbering upwards of 600 cities, towns across the USA now in a step that ignores the Constitution in that these cities have made a pact with the devil, so to speak, as cities to States may make no concessions with foreign governments what so ever. The Feds have ignored it too and they are found in contempt of the law of our land. Proponents of Agenda 21 are not limited too but these are the big boys at bat: billionaire George Soros has provided millions of dollars to ICLEI. Former Obama czar Van Jones' Green for All and the Tides Foundations' Apollo Alliance are also reportedly ICLEI contributors.

The truth is, Agenda 21 promotes European socialism that by its nature will infringe upon our freedoms and liberties. Most of its vague, lofty sounding phrases cause the average person's eyes to glaze over, making it easier to sneak into our communities. Phrases like GreenPrint, Sustainability, sustainable growth, sustainable environments and such that look to sound good until you look inside the box! As a radical environmental agenda, the U.N. wishes to change consumption patterns, including ownership of property and automobiles all the while, successfully promoting social justice. In the United States, the Agenda 21 National Coordinating Body is the President's Council on Sustainable Development (PCSD).

The U.S. Constitution requires that consensus on public policy be hammered out in public by elected officials, not by 28 appointed individuals, carefully selected because of their known support of the principles expressed in Agenda 21. This UN description of the PCSD is found in a section of the report entitled "Integrated Decision-making," also known as the "consensus" process. Just look at the Executive Orders Obama has passed without Congressional consent! Yet nobody talks about it, with the exception of I. As I stand here before you today and say NO TO AGENDA 21! The progressives laid the foundation for Agenda 21 in the 1960s when it became unlawful to pray in government schools. Now, as of this week, because it may offend the Hispanics of our country, these same progressives are trying to ban the US Flag from flying in schools to government buildings. If they do not like my stars and stripes to which my great, great, great uncle wrote “The Star Spangled Banner” they can leave!

Just as they crept into our schools, they used Magnuson-Stevens in its loop-holes in the upper Northwest in planning catch shares to sector separation on the salmon. Little by little, like the camel in A sop's fables, once the nose was in the tent, he took over the whole tent. I think it is time to cook the Camel! ...What do you think??? Sustainable Development in School Curriculum" is one of the 32 specific objectives of Agenda 21. This objective has been achieved in 63% of the participating nations, and in process in another 17%.

Education is a key ingredient in the transformation to a sustainable society. The UN Commission on Sustainable Development reports that in America, "the national strategy on education is prepared by the Department of Education and includes such programs as Goals 2000 and School to Work. Do you know that when our country is at its knees with the debt and default hanging overhead, President Obama recently offered 500 million dollars to any school to whom kicked out the ABC's and implemented Environmental Education as an alternative to regular studies K-12; with an Environmental Literacy test administered at the end of your schooling. Regardless of your grades, pass the Environment test and collect your reward of a H.S. Diploma? Part of the Environmental studies is on Marine Spatial Planning, Sector Separation and Catch Shares. Inquiring minds want to know! "EDF is now pulling all forces and funding to target the Gulf of Mexico as their model for catch shares. They view the Gulf as the prize and will stop at nothing to eliminate fishing and jobs."If all are taught this, a brain washing occurs to which one would no not the difference between freedom and the communistic manifesto of the fisheries.


Agenda 21 embraces virtually every aspect of human life; it is being implemented aggressively in the United States. Congress has never examined the totality of the Agenda. Instead, The ultimate objective of Agenda 21 is to establish "international norms" of personal behavior that are dictated by a handful of the world's enlightened elite, the councils, who believe they know best how people ought to live, fish and travel, therefore they should be allowed to tell people how it is, as indoctrinated in LOST, Agenda 21.

Think About Catch Shares, Sector Separation & R.I.C.O.

When it was passed in 1970, the RICO Act was primarily intended to eliminate the influence of the Mafia in the nation's economy. Though today, it could as well be compared to eliminating the NOAA's control of the fisheries, through the Trust Funds set up by PEW and the EDF. This should be the first priority of the U.S. Justice System.

Research shows that advocacy, community organizing, and civic engagement by nonprofit groups makes a substantial, measurable difference in the lives of families and communities. Nevertheless, many philanthropists harbor the view that working with government is not an effective or appropriate role for them to play, and they mistakenly believe that U.S. law prohibits them from doing so.

Philanthropy is fine when it is in bed with the government for reasons to help and benefit mankind. If on the other hand, an organization is involved with criminal infringement of intellectual property rights, it walks a fine line to the tune of R.I.C.O. to which much ado about nothing can be about something and PEW along with the EDF are dancing a tune with NOAA in possible infringement of the Jones Act as well RICO. Would not wish to be in their boat anytime soon. 

“We need to educate the non-fishing public. They think we’re just out here slaughtering fish and that isn’t what this is about. We’re trying to make a living and we’re trying to keep fishing,” Logan continued, citing the Alaskan crab fisheries that left 200 boats to dwindle down to approximately 15, in a time when our 'President' has said, “Not in America, we will preserve Jobs, Create Jobs and strengthen the Union!” hm, sounds like JOB LOSS TO ME! 

The Peter G. Peterson Foundation, the Pew Charitable Trusts and the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget announced Wednesday they are forming the new bipartisan Peterson-Pew Commission on Budget Reform. Now PEW is deciding our budget too?

Guess what else PEW is into: 

1 The number of unmarried Americans as a whole has risen dramatically, according to a recent Pew Research Center Social & Demographic Trends report.

2 The Energy and Natural Resources, Environment and Public Works and Commerce panels hold meetings hosted by the Pew Charitable Trusts.

3 Pew Hispanic Center keeps tabs to numbers on, jobs held by illegal foreign workers.

That is a whole lot of Government! 

NOW THINK R.I.C.O. and how these terms could reflect to and within the fisheries industries from Catch Shares, Sector Separation and closures of various fish on the whim of old flawed data to no data at all in driving the prices of fish up and driving the Waterman out! 

Courts look more favorably upon RICO claims based upon true criminal behavior, such as bribery, kickbacks, extortion, obstruction of justice, and clearly criminal schemes that are advanced by the use of the mails and wires.

• A RICO claim cannot exist in the absence of criminal activity. “South Atlantic Fisheries Management Council had even admitted to having flawed data on which they based potential limits and closures.” Could this be construed as a criminal act?
  
• RICO addresses long-term, not one-shot, criminal activity. The formation of councils with bought and paid for Representative of EDF in voting regulations and rules in their favor in different councils and times might fall and apply here too.
  
• A RICO claim may be barred by the statute of limitations if you discovered or reasonably should have discovered your injury four or more years ago. It is happening now, has in the past and I believe it passes this question too.
  

Now if there is a way to use the internet, as that is how they communicate and somehow introduce this into mail and wire fraud statutes, we would sink them!



Although the RICO Act can be used in many contexts, the statute is most easily understood in its intended context: NOAA. In the context of the NOAA, the defendant person (i.e., the target of the RICO Act) is Dr. Jane Lubchenco. The "racketeering activity" is the criminal activities in which NOAA engages, e.g., extortion, bribery, loan sharking, Catch share sales, false documentation, etc. Because the NOAA family has engaged in these criminal actions for years, the criminal actions constitute a pattern of racketeering activity. The government can criminally prosecute the Jane Lubchenco under RICO and send her to jail even if Jane Lubchenco has never personally killed, extorted, bribed or engaged in any criminal behavior. Jane Lubchenco can be imprisoned because she operated and managed a criminal enterprise that engaged in such acts. Moreover, under section 1964(c) of the RICO Act, the victims of the NOAA family (i.e., the extorted businessman, the employers whose employees were bribed, debtors of the loan shark, the family of a murder victim) can sue Jane Lubchenco civilly and recover the economic losses they sustained by reason of the NOAA's pattern of racketeering.
As a practical matter, the closer a plaintiff's case is to the Mafia scenario described above, the better chance the plaintiff has in succeeding under the RICO Act. Given the diverse factual scenarios that may confront attorneys and parties under RICO, it is always helpful to analogize non-Mafia factual scenarios to the prototypical RICO claim against the Mafia. It is always helpful to ask: who stands in the position of the Godfather, i.e., the defendant person? What is the equivalent of the Mafia family, i.e., the enterprise? This will give you a good start in evaluating the merits of any RICO claim you confront. If the facts are well-suited to the Mafia analogy, you likely have a stronger claim.

http://www.ricoact.com/ricoact/nutshell.asp Without the element of racketeering activity, a RICO claim would be difficult to prove, but because one must also prove racketeering activity in addition to pattern, enterprise, operation and management, etc., a RICO claim is among the most difficult violations to establish. It has been said that the need to prove racketeering activity essentially requires a plaintiff or prosecutor to prove a crime within a CRIME. A plaintiff or prosecutor has no chance of proving the "greater" CRIME, i.e., the RICO violation, unless they can first establish a "lesser" crime, i.e., an act of racketeering (sometimes called a predicate act).
A RICO claim cannot exist in the absence of criminal activity. The simplest way to put this concept is: no crime - no RICO violation. This rule applies even in the context of civil RICO claims. Every RICO claim must be based upon a violation of one of the crimes listed in 18 U.S.C. s 1961(1).

Section 1961(1) of the RICO Act lists all of the crimes upon which a RICO violation must be predicated. Spool, 520 F.3d 178 at 183. A RICO claim can be predicated on not only numerous federal criminal violations, but also on violations of certain state criminal laws. With regard to the state crimes, the RICO Act states that a violation can be predicated upon "any act or threat involving murder, kidnapping, gambling, arson, robbery, bribery, extortion, dealing in obscene matter, or dealing in a controlled substance . . . which is chargeable under State law and punishable by imprisonment for more than one year." Thus, to prove a RICO claim, a plaintiff or prosecutor must first allege and prove an entire murder case, kidnapping case, arson case, robbery case, etc. Only if the evidence supports these "lesser" charges, can the plaintiff or prosecutor proceed with the remaining elements of the "greater" RICO claim, e.g., pattern, enterprise, operation and management. A RICO claim can also be predicated upon the violation of many, many federal criminal statutes. The federal crimes relate to a number of areas, including: counterfeiting, extortion, gambling, illegal immigration, obscenity, obstruction of justice, prostitution, murder for hire, interstate transportation of stolen property, and criminal infringement of intellectual property rights. These are but a few of the areas of federal criminal law out of which a RICO claim can arise.
Mail and Wire Fraud
The extensive use of RICO in the civil context is almost solely attributable to the inclusion of mail and wire fraud as predicate acts. Sedima, S.P.R.L. v. Imrex Co., 473 U.S. 479, 500 (1985). The mail and wire fraud statutes essentially make it criminal for any one to use the mails or wires to advance a scheme to defraud. Note that the fraudulent statements themselves need not be transmitted by mail or wire; it is only required that the scheme to defraud be advanced, concealed or furthered by the use of the U.S. mail or wires. See 18 U.S.C., sections 1341, 1343. Because every business or corporation in the United States uses the mails or wires to make money, any business who allegedly engages in common law fraud arguably violates the federal mail and wire fraud statutes. As a result, almost any business that allegedly engages in common law fraud can theoretically be sued under the RICO Act.

3. Extortion
   

What laypeople call extortion, lawyers call a violation of the Hobbs Act. The Hobbs Act states:

Whoever in anyway or degree obstructs, delays, or affects commerce or the movement of any article or commodity in commerce, by robbery or extortion or attempts or conspires so to do, or commits or threatens physical violence to any person or property in furtherance of a plan or purpose to do anything in violation of this section shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both. As used in this section: (1) The term "robbery" means the unlawful taking or obtaining of personal property from the person or in the presence of another, against his will, by means of actual or threatened force, or violence, or fear of injury, immediate or future, to his person or property, or property in his custody or possession, or the person or property of a relative or member of his family or of anyone in his company at the time of the taking or obtaining. (2) The term "extortion" means the obtaining of property from another, with his consent, induced by wrongful use of actual or threatened force, violence, or fear, or under color of official right. (3) The term "commerce" means commerce within the District of Columbia, or any Territory or Possession of the United States, all commerce between any point in a State, Territory, Possession, or the District of Columbia and any point outside thereof, all commerce between points within the same State through any place outside such State and all commerce over which the United States has jurisdiction.

18 U.S.C., section 1951 (emphasis added). In essence, the Hobbs Act elevates all but the simplest acts of robbery and extortion to the level of federal crimes.

3. Extortion under Color Of Official Right JANE'S BOAT?
   

Many people are confused by extortion "under color of official right." Extortion under color of official right occurs when an agent of the government uses his or her legitimate governmental powers to obtain an illegitimate objective. For example, a police officer may have the authority to revoke a driver's license but he cannot offer to forego the legitimate exercise of his power in exchange for sexual favors from the driver. Likewise, a city council member may have the authority to rezone an area of town and thereby effectively put a company out of business, but the council member cannot threaten rezoning unless the company contributes to his re-election campaign. As one court recently stated: "In order to prove Hobbs Act extortion 'under color of official right,' 'the [plaintiff / prosecutor] need only show that a public official has obtained a payment to which he was not entitled, knowing that the payment was made in return for official acts." United States v. Urban, 404 F.3d 754, 768 (3d Cir. 2005) (quoting Evans v. United States, 504 U.S. 255, 268 (1992)). In short, governmental agents have a great deal of discretion when deciding how to exercise the powers of the government. When a government agent engages in extortion "under color of official right," he is essentially using the governmental powers with which he has been trusted to gain personal or illegitimate rewards.

5. CONSPIRACIES TO VIOLATE RICO - SECTION 1962(d)
   

A RICO claim is broad but a RICO conspiracy claim is even broader. Anyone who agrees or conspires to pursue the same criminal objective can be held liable for a RICO violation. Salinas v. United States, 522 U.S. 22, 63-64 (1997). "If conspirators have a plan which calls for some conspirators to perpetrate the crime and others to provide support, the supporters are as guilty as the perpetrators." Id. at 64. A conspirator must simply intend to further an endeavor which, if completed, would satisfy all elements of a civil RICO claim. Id. at 65. Thus, there are two ways to effectively defend against a RICO conspiracy claim: 1) the defendant must prove he never intended to further the criminal endeavor; or 2) the defendant must prove that the endeavor did not satisfy the elements of a civil RICO claim. Because the first defense is fact based, it is seldom an appropriate defense to raise in a dispositve motion. The best way to undermine a claim for conspiracy on a dispositive motion is to undermine the legal sufficiency of the allegations supporting the substantive offense. See Howard v. American Online Inc., 208 F.3d 741, 751 (9th Cir. 2000) (a claim under section 1962(d) may not stand unless the plaintiffs can sustain a viable claim under another subsection of section 1962).

Now that I have signed my death warrant, I hold you the public as witness as an American citizen, it is my right, through free speech to educate the general public of a possible wrong which needs to be set right. The Federal Justice System, unless it too was bought by PEW, needs to view the recent adaptations of NOAA of late. Why would a high payed executive of the EDF, take a lower scale job by the U.S. government, NOAA unless there are priorities of a higher matter. Jane Lubchenco has proprietary data from years past, to which she uses to cripple the U.S. Fishing industry, WHY?
