The unholy alliance between environmentalists and government agencies such as the Bureau of Land Management are sometimes exposed for what they are, simply a greedy land grab that cheats private owners and bullies them into submission rather than face the behemoth federal government.
Most citizens have no idea that the federal government owns more than 50 percent of the land mass in 11 western states, and they absolutely could never conjure up why the federal government needs to control that much land. In fact, it seems much more economic and manageable to have the various states control most of the public land within a particular state, but the videos below the bravado and the admission that what is really going on is out and out theft.

Crooked bastards!
So… just to throw gas on the fire, Craig Short, Philip B Noreen, in California, you’re both wrong! The natives didn’t “own” land, held no such concept. They lived on and used the land & what it provided. The Russians claimed all west coast lands, roughly north of Fort Ross, the Catholic backed Spanish/ Mexicans claimed, with the help of Vallejo and his predecessors everything south of Fort ross. With the help of conquered natives, Vallejo eventually claimed it all & with the help again, of the natives, they chose via the Bear flag revolt & other skirmishes to beat their brothers into submission and joined the ranks of these United States for safety and stability. Vallejo was hugely rewarded & shared his spoils through land grants ,with his family, friends and supporters . I may have listed a few things out of sequence but those are the rough basics of manifest destiny as applied to California. As for the rest of the nation, read history, it was inevitable. Nobody is guilty of anything other than that which has transpired forever. So…. buck up , get over it and have a pleasant evening.
And… my profile is public, I’m sympathetic to all oppressed people, I am descended from Booker Tony Washington, Qua Paw, Irish immigrants and illiterate share cropper from Arkansas, so don’t lecture me about racism and hard times, I’ve lived it!
