MROSD “Apartheid” Homelands Vision

1) On November 27, 2002, Mid-Peninsula Regional Open Space District celebrated their 30^th anniversary by reaffirming their "anti-Wise Use" Apartheid Vision Into An Open Future.  “Thirty years ago there was a vision. It was simple and it was powerful. And it was this: Our natural resources must be protected. This vision grew from an understanding that land, once used for human purposes, can almost never be returned to its natural state. It also understood that we must protect the trees, water, habitat, and species if we are to protect human beings. This vision has had a huge impact. It has changed our community -- forever and permanently. In 30 years the Mid-Peninsula Regional Open Space District has acquired more than 47,000 acres of open space land”. San Mateo County Supervisor Richard Gordon is the Envirocults poster boy and Minister of Propaganda (EMP) for the Committee for Green Envirocults,  Da Envirocult aka Sierra Club and Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST aka 5th Column). California history has taught us that these  aging Envirocult 5^th Columns attracted small flocks of extremist sheeple that are usually mentally unstable, incompetent, and corrupt. These Envirocults 5^th Column cartels are destroying California’s economic and watershed natural systems sustainability while depriving Rural Lands families Environmental Justice.  Respond to this paragraph content in the Eco-Justice 4 US Public Forum

3) The Da Enviorcults (aka Sierra Club) and the Committee for Green Envirocults launched a Initiative measure to be submitted directly to the voters of San Mateo County called Coastside Protection Initiative of 1994:  “The people of the County of San Mateo ordain as follows:  Section 1. Purpose of This Measure (4) Reduction of Government Expenditures.  To reduce costs to San Mateo County taxpayers of roads, law enforcement, fire protection, and other government services for scattered and remote development in the Rural Lands. Section 2. Findings  (3) Development Treats. Pressures for extensive development on the Coastside are severe, especially with the proposed construction of increased water supplies , additional sewage treatment facilities, and larger highways.  Development on remote and rugged Rural Lands is often difficult and costly, including to the public.  It is frequently beset with unsafe roads, soil instability and fire hazard. The purpose of this initiative is to strengthen and make more specific policies protecting the San Mateo County Coastside, to extend key Coastal protections to the Skyline Area, to reduce hazards to residents from fire, flooding, and other natural disasters, and to give (Urban) voters a voice in decisions affecting the San Mateo County Coastside. Sponsors/Proponents:  Lennie Roberts Committee for Green Foothills and Mary Hobbs, Co-Chair, Coast Committee, Sierra Club.   Respond to this paragraph content in the Eco-Justice 4 US Public Forum

4) Envirocult leaders understand the Urban-Rural Power Gap well, and some of them act to thwart devolution of power to local communities as testified before Congress in the Battered Communities Report. This statement came from the Sierra Club Chairman Michael McCloskey:  “ A new dogma is emerging as a challenge to us.  It embodies the proposition that the best way for the public to determine how to manage the interest in the environment is through collaboration among stakeholders, not through normal governmental processes…” aka CRMP.  “This idea is strongly advanced in the report of the Western Regional Team of the Natural Resource Task Force of the President’s Council of Sustainable Development (PCSD)…The Clinton Administration endorses the idea too.  It sees this idea as an extension of its programs for reinventing government, for decentralization, and place-based management… The Quincy Library Group is often cited as one with the most comprehensive agenda: re-doing the plan for managing the  entire national forest.  Others include the Applegate Partnership in southern Oregon, the Henry’s Fork Watershed Council in Idaho, and scores of watershed councils in Washington state.  Many academics praise them too… A fundamental problem lies in the disparate geographical distribution of constituencies.  This redistribution of power is designed to disempower our constituency , which is heavily Urban.   Few Urbanites are recognized as stakeholders in communities surrounding national forests.  Few of the proposals for stakeholder collaboration

provide any way for distant stakeholders to be effectively represented.  While we may have activists in some nearby communities, we don’t  have them all in the small towns involved.  It is curious that these ideas would have the effect of transferring influence to the very communities where we are least organized and potent.   They would maximize the influence of those who are least attracted to the environmental cause and most alienated from it.” Report to the Sierra Club Board of Directors meeting in San Francisco, California on November 18,1995.

Rural Incorporated Districts (RID)

5) The 2003 California Watershed Posse  Living Legacy Program  celebrated  Martin Luther King’s birthday by launching their “helpRID.US” initiatives for the formation of Rural Incorporated Districts (RID) throughout all rural areas of California . The California Watershed Posse’s first   RID will be  formed in the unincorporated Rural Lands area of San Mateo County . The RID formation election will be held within the boundaries of the proposed RID in calendar year 2003.  The incorporation charter for the  RID will embody  coordinated resource management and planning of vital Rural Lands area resource infrastructure such as water, sewer, roads, watershed natural systems, parks , and open space.  The RID’s land use governing document will be a “RID General Plan” The primary goal of the  RID is to secure “local  control”  of the RID areas in perpetuity  while preserving , protecting, and providing sustainability of the quality of life values found in the  Rural Lands area of California.  CWP, as a 501©3 non-profit CRMP Council, only  supports non-apartheid rural eco-justice policies and projects. In keeping with CWP educational mission, we recommend reviewing the teachers tutorial: Cry, the beloved country. And yes Lennie Roberts, it has been done before! Read history of City of Fremont and the man who named Fremont.  If Oakhurst can do it, why not SMC Rural Lands?    State declares "County of San Mateo is saging"! Sustainable San Mateo County?   For further information regarding www.cwposse.org  contact: Oscar Braun, Executive Director for Environmental Justice: Oscar@cwposse.org or Voice 650-867-5779

6) What is the Bay Area water users “Watershed Vision” of the Hetch Hetchy regional water system?  Read the only Public Opinion Survey ever published  of Households served by the San Francisco Water Department (SFWD). The Survey was conducted in February,  1994 by the San Francisco Water Department, Public Research Institute,  San Francisco Sate University, in cooperation with EDAW, Inc. and Public Affairs Management. “A survey was carried out in order to ascertain public opinion on issues of water quality, goals of watershed management, recreation, recreational access to the watersheds,  environmental protection, financing, and other issues related to watershed management.  Survey questions were based on SFWD goals for watershed management and on issues and input received from the public and from agencies at all levels of government .  The findings of the survey will allow SFWD to take the opinions of its public constituency into account in the planning process.” Compare the public opinion with the Bay Area “Enviro-cults Vision”.  Click here to view the entire San Francisco Watershed Management Plans Public Opinion Survey Report.

7) The Enviro-cults vision of creating massive government owned “urban greenbelt buffer zones” (MROSD & GGNRA) out of the all coastal and rural Bay Area private sector lands. Their authoritarian land grabbing  “greenbelt scheme aka open space zones” came right out of the tyrannical South African “apartheid separate development” ruling class handbook. The  Enviro-cult urban ruling class would retain power over sub-urban and rural Bay Area while driving the working class away from the coastal rural areas west of Hwy 35 to the east.  Their apartheid policies lead directly to the  birth of sub-urban sprawl in the Bay Area. The basic tenet of their apartheid separate development (greenbelt zones) policy was to reserve within the confines of urban San Francisco and exclusive S.F. Peninsula  designated homeland rights and freedoms for only the elitist Enviro-cult’s  ruling class.  The Enviro-cult’s California  sets aside for their homelands areas that include all the coastal zone rural natural resource rich areas, recreational opportunities and most of the cities with full government provided services.  Increasingly, the vast majority of California’s working class is being treated as low income alien workers and required to drive hours to the east to find affordable housing and jobs.  CWP research finds that  Enviro-cults 5^th Column true believers are seldom people of color, immigrants or agnostic.  Respond to this paragraph content in the Eco-Justice 4 US Public Forum 

8) The CWP believes an Environmental Justice land use policy that would best enhance individual liberty is one that reverses today’s trend toward nationalization and divest government land ownerships into individual hands, free of easements and  other burdens on title.  Land ownership is not the only property right. Violated basic civil rights currently include: Water, Grazing, Mining, Timber and Privacy Rights.

 9) California’s economic sustainability faces catastrophic risks from being destroyed from within by our Grey Governor and the unconstitutional California Coastal Commi-Czar’s  with their “PAY To PLAY”  coastal rural land use extortion, bribery, fundraising and eco-terrorist racketeering activities. "The arbitrary way the California Coastal Commission exercises its combination of legislative, executive, and judicial functions and powers serves as the poster boy for abuse of government power," said Pacific Legal Foundation  Attorney James Burling. Since 9/11, the California body politic and the state natural resource management institutions have been revealed as unstable, incompetent, corrupt and now unconstitutional.  It is time for U.S. Department of Justice intervention and Federal judicial  RICO cleansing to begin. It is time to expose these apartheid enemies in our midst and stop them from destroying California's economic vitality and sustainability.  It is time for California’s ship of State to change course in the direction of Environmental Justice for all of it's people. The California Watershed Posse is requesting that the U.S. Attorney General impanel a Federal Grand Jury for the purpose of investigating the California Coastal Commission RICO activities.
