DUCKS UNLIMITED
The Jekyll Island off Georgia's
coast collaborators knew that public reports of their meeting would scupper
their plans. The idea of senior officials from the Treasury, Congress, major
banks and brokerages (along with one foreign national) slipping off to design a
new world order has struck generations of Americans as distasteful at best and
undemocratic at worst -- and would have been similarly received at the time.
So the meeting of the minds was planned
under the ruse of a gentlemen’s
duck-hunting expedition.
Ducks Unlimited is essentially a Washington DC lobby
group that somehow gets entangled with many Army Corps of Engineers wetlands
deals, involving unknown secrecy-laced MITIGATION BANKS, and developers. A lot of the ‘duck hunters’ who work in the
DC lobby headquarters are rich Republican types whose “ancestors came to
America on the Mayflower, at Plymouth Rock”, etc. Remember when Dick Cheney shot up with buckshot
[“peppered”] in 2006 his Texas bird hunting friend, Harry Whittington, another privileged
white shoe attorney?

In November 1910, in the space of less
than two weeks, a group of government and business leaders fashioned a powerful
new financial system that has survived a century, two world wars, a Great
Depression and many recessions.
Of course, the Jekyll Island
conference, which met that month, was dodgy even by the standards of the
Gilded Age: a self-selected handful of plutocrats secretly meeting at a
private resort island to draw up a new framework for the nation’s
banking system.
Aldrich, an archetype of his age, was a
personal friend of Morgan, and Aldrich's daughter was married to John D.
Rockefeller Jr. He found in the Rothschild European central banks a useful
model. Although the financial system in the U.S. was functional enough to stoke
the engines of a growing industrial economy, it was a classic example of the
persistence of interim solutions. The models Aldrich found in Rothschild run
Europe were more efficient and effective.
What he lacked was a way to graft those
characteristics onto the American economy without retarding it.
Hence the duck hunt.
Aldrich
invited men he knew and trusted, or at least men of influence who he felt could
work together. They included Abram Piatt Andrew, assistant secretary of the
Treasury; Henry P. Davison, a business partner of Morgan's; Charles D. Norton,
president of the First National Bank of New York; Benjamin Strong,
another Morgan friend and the head of Bankers Trust; Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the National City Bank; and Paul
M. Warburg, a partner in Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and a Jewish German
citizen. From the 1920s on Warburg intensified his determined interest in
Zionism in Palestina.
The men made their way to secretive
Jekyll island by their elitist private railway cars
and ferries. Their descendants are today's GOLDMAN SACHS.

Guess which lady worked for one of the world’s LARGEST MITIGATION BANKS

At issue here in Standing Rock Sioux Tribe v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, then, is the alleged lack of thoroughness of the Section 106 review and not the absence of one altogether. Even the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) itself penned a letter in May 2016 to the Corps expressing concern about the lack of rigor in its Section 106 Review. Like the southern leg of TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline and Enbridge's Flanagan South pipelines, the Army Corps and Dakota Access LLC by extension utilized Nationwide Permit 12 as an end-run around a more vigorous and NEPA-oriented environmental review. A review of court documents for the case currently unfolding in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. has revealed that the tribal liaison for Energy Transfer Partners tasked with abiding by Section 106 passed through the revolving door and formerly worked for the Army Corps. The finding also raises key ethical questions in the field of archaeology. That liaison — Michelle Dippel — technically works for a Dakota Access LLC contractor named HDR, a company which helps pipeline companies and other oil and gas industry infrastructure companies secure permits for their projects. Dippel, the South Central Region Environmental Services Lead for HDR, began her career as a project manager for the Army Corps' Fort Worth District and also formerly worked for the natural gas pipeline company Spectra Energy. An archaeologist by academic training and a member of the Register of Professional Archaeologists, a biographical sketch for Dippel tracked down on the Florida Department of Transportation's website lists her job sub-title as “Project Streamlining” on behalf of the DOT. Dippel lists Section 106 consultation as an area of expertise on her LinkedIn page. Section 106, in turn, serves as a major part of the focus of the lawsuit, the recently completed occupation of a Dakota Access Pipeline construction site in Cannon Ball, North Dakota, and the push by the Standing Rock Indian Reservation for a court-ordered injunction to halt pipeline instruction. “Although federal law requires the Corps of Engineers to consult with the tribe about its sovereign interests, permits for the project were approved and construction began without meaningful consultation.”
This growing Native American standoff with Dakota Access is the last Great Indian War. "This is the first time the seven bands of the Sioux have come together since Little Bighorn," one of the Indian activists said. More than 80 different tribes are camped in the area. On September 9th a watershed decision will be made regarding the Red Warrior Camp and its large number of protesters, the camps growing as spontaneously as Woodstock Music Festival, long ago, but this time for Native Indians and not Vietnamese internally displaced peoples [IDPs]. A federal court will decide if the Dakota Access pipeline should proceed, or be halted for more environmental and archaeological assessments.

Abstract:
The Clean Water Act aims to
restore and maintain the integrity of U.S. waters, which include wetlands —
those land forms once referred to as swamps, bogs, prairie potholes, or some
other negatively connoted term. Wetlands are ecologically and economically
important. The federal regime for protecting them, however, has failed its
pursuit of “no net loss” of wetlands. Mitigation banking has become the
preferred mechanism for mitigating wetlands loss, despite repeated studies
showing mitigation banks fail to replace the lost natural ecosystems. This
paper explores the complex wetlands protection regime in the United States,
then compares results in steady-state Ohio wetlands, a best case scenario for
mitigation banking, with the nation’s largest (and most at risk) wetlands —
those on Louisiana’s coast. It concludes that mitigation banking on Louisiana’s
coast is likely to result in massive destruction and loss of the fragile
coastal ecosystem.

FORBE’S
magazine writes:
“ ‘Mitigation
banks,’ are overseen by the Army Corp of Engineers, to finance wetlands
restoration. By restoring wetlands, these banks create credits that developers,
private and public, can buy to offset damage to wetlands caused by their
projects. Because the system speeds the approval process — and time is money —
developers are willing, if not happy, to buy mitigation credits. The developer
payments in turn repay the private investors who front the money for banks’
restoration work. In the decades since the first commercial mitigation bank
application in 1991, more than 1,900 mitigation banks have been established. By
2008, between $1.1 and $1.8 billion was being spent to restore functioning
wetlands annually, protecting approximately 24,000 acres per year. Despite
these gains, this approach is not a panacea; the loss of wetlands is still
occurring at a significant rate. These losses are due to a number of different
factors, including large-scale erosion and rising sea levels, particularly
along coastal areas. These [mitigation
banks] markets have gotten considerably more transaction friendly in their
20-year existence”
With its headquarters in a high-rent Washington, DC, commercial district just three blocks from the White House, Ducks Unlimited has resources that dwarf those of most of their opponents. A visit to DU’s website also reveals an organization whose agenda goes far beyond its stated interest of preserving habitat for waterfowl. For example, DU has tied its interests in wetlands to many Mitigation Bank complicated deals, and to the global warming/climate change issues.
Wetlands of the United States are often defined by the United States Army Corps of Engineers [USACE or CoE] and the United States Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] and many times caught in the interplay of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, which is a branch of the Department of Interior, the department which had in frontier days squeezed native American Indians onto smaller and smaller reservations, and which has much to do today with nuclear materials mining for the nuclear war and energy and nuke subs programs of the U.S. https://www.doi.gov/ocl/hearings/110/AbandonedMineLands_031208Wetlands
America Trust [WAT], is a major supporting entity to Ducks
Unlimited (DU). They are in a lawsuit in
Virginia in which vintners and grape farmers are quacking like alpha male ducks
against Ducks Unlimited/WAT. In a 29-page decision handed down by the Twentieth
Circuit Court of Virginia on June 19, 2014, Judge Burke McCahill ruled overwhelmingly in favor of Jennifer
McCloud’s Chrysalis
winery and AGAINST Ducks
Unlimited/WAT. Since then, using
their federal government insider’s expansive and unlimited pull, the Chrysalis’s
victory in court is now under challenge by six regional and national land
trusts: The Nature Conservancy, The Virginia Conservancy, The Civil War Trust,
The Land Trust Alliance, The National Trust for
Historic Preservation, and The Piedmont Environmental Council. In April
2015, the groups petitioned the Virginia Supreme Court to allow them to weigh
in on the case and they have filed an Amicus Brief in support of Wetlands
America Trust/Ducks Unlimited.

“Despite the multimillion-dollar
profit Chevron anticipates from its mitigation
bank, corporate involvement remains rare in the numerous ecosystem-service
markets that have begun evolving. But in the field of mitigation banking, their ranks are growing. Wetland mitigation
banking, which began in the early 1990s, now counts up to 2000 approved banks
throughout the United States and an additional 198 in the proposal stage according to an inventory
completed last year by the Army Corps of
Engineers. Between 20 and 30 percent of them are backed by large
corporations, says Rich Mogensen, immediate past
president of the Mitigation Bankers Association and director of Mid-Atlantic
Mitigation LLC, an EarthMark Company. Corporations dabbling in mitigation banking are predominantly energy or pipeline companies such as
Chevron, Tenneco and Florida Power
and Light; corporations that are financially secure, have extra land and
are looking for ways to diversify. Similar to the Paradis
property, the land converted into wetland banks typically had a previous
history as a site for oil exploration but no longer has any mineral value.”

Abstract -- Environmental trading programs are
seen as promising tools for fostering sustainable development, yet little is
known about how decision-making practices in these emerging policy spaces
influence program outcomes. This study quantifies wetland compensation outcomes
in Alberta, Canada, and compares these outcomes to statements made in
government-issued compensation guidelines. Contrary to guideline intent, we
found a strong tendency to skip over wetland avoidance in favor of compensatory
payments for wetland loss; that compensation sites are frequently located
outside the watershed of impact; and that distances between impact and
compensation sites often exceed what is considered reasonable under the
guidelines, without commensurate increases in compensation ratios. Agency
capture was found to drive these implementation failures, and mechanisms
producing capture in this case include overhead governance and organizational
goal ambiguity. This study suggests that greater attention must be given to
agency context if environmental trading programs are to be effective tools for
managing environmental resources.

Wetlands
Old Victory over Mitigation Banks dating back to Aug 2005, REMEMBERED!!
Eight state and federal
agencies were involved in the project, and all called it the largest and most
ambitious restoration of coastal wetlands in the history of California,
where 95 percent of saltwater marshes have been given over to development. The Bolsa Chica wetlands project is
at the fore of a new and evolving science, said Shirley S. Dettloff,
a leader of the conservation group Amigos de Bolsa Chica. “Not many wetlands have been restored in the world,
especially in an oil field,” Ms. Dettloff said. “Even
we locals sometimes forget that this was the second-largest functioning oil
field in the state of California for years, since the 1930’s.”

Mitigation banking is becoming an
instrument of choice for mitigation alternatives. Objectives include:
• Replacement of the chemical, physical,
and biological function of wetlands and other aquatic resources.
•Providing flexibility for
applicants needing to comply with mitigation requirements.
•Consolidated, cost-effective
utilization and protection of resources.
Operating much like a commercial
lending institution, bank “credits” exist as acres or a unit that reflects the functional
value of that resource. Projects involving wetland impacts require debiting the
bank in an amount to compensate for functional losses. Mitigation banking is
particularly useful in compensating for small wetland impacts where on-site mitigation
is difficult to achieve and may not be an economical option. By concentrating
resources into large and potentially more valuable areas, functional benefits
can be realized, increased management control can be gained, and costs can be
reduced.
In
November 1995, EPA, the Corps of
Engineers, FWS, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's [NOAA] National
Marine Fisheries Service, and U.S. Department of Agriculture's [USDA] Natural
Resources Conservation Service released the final Federal Guidance on the
Establishment, Use, and Operation of
Mitigation Banks. The guidance gave state agencies, local governments, and
the private sector the regulatory certainty and procedural framework they
needed to move forward on seeking approval to operate mitigation banks.
Following its issuance, banks proliferated across the country and became a
mainstream compensatory mitigation option.5 With the passage of the
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) in 1998, banking became
the preferred compensatory mitigation alternative for impacts involving the
federal funding of transportation projects. Since 1998, conferences have been held annually devoted to sharing
and encouraging advances in mitigation
banking policy and practice.

Few ND policymakers are interested in continuing any sort of a policy discussion with the likes of Steve Adair. To allow the federal government to use these DUCKS UNLIMITED employees as their “boots on the ground” in the state of North Dakota is unfair to every farmer, and the entire agricultural industry, in North Dakota. Even more discouraging is Ducks Unlimited’s support of Measure 5. Currently, 45% of DU’s national budget comes from the government. If Measure 5 passes, North Dakota DU will now have the opportunity to apply for even more grants!
Well Over 1/3 of
Teamsters Union members are illegal immigrants
This has been the reality for over 25 years
now.
For
the Teamsters, an undocumented worker and a blue-collar worker are often the
same thing. Over a third of its members are illegal immigrants. The union,
which represents a variety of workers, from truck drivers to airline employees,
doesn’t ask about immigration status, but president
George Miranda estimates many of them are undocumented.

History of US government
breaking INDIAN TREATIES
The
first Quaker and Huguenot and Sephardic European Jewish and Mormon settlers in
USA, 1600s to WW1, many of them slave-traders and/or slave owners, did NOT
embrace the native indigenous Indian races in Colonial America. In fact they were quite the opposite and many
of them believed in the DOCTRINE OF DIVINE DISCOVERY. The myth of THANKSGIVING DAY and shared
cookouts and love fests is just ONE BIG TURKEY. The oldest standing Mormon
chapel in the world is Gadfield Elm Chapel near the village of Pendock in
Worcestershire, England, dated 1836.
The
native tribes numbered around 60 million at the time of the Mayflower bringing
Puritan extremist pilgrims to the shores of the Native Tribes Continent. By the end of the 1800s that number had been
reduced to under 750,000, and as a character declared
in Coppola’s APOCALYPSE NOW, it was done “with extreme prejudice”.
· 8 Million Aroaks alone were exterminated
by Columbus and his descendants in the New World. Even by 1650 “New Englanders” were scalping
and slaughtering native peoples.
· Much like the Mongolian Golden Hordes of
Genghis Khan, and like the Viking Savage Raids in Dark Ages Europe, the
settlers of America supported a large subgroup of brutal exterminators of both
Native Indians and their buffalo herds.
In 1862 was the notorious MANKATO MASSACRE of Native family villages, en
masse. The Gold Rush of 1849 was in
large part a PR stunt, to drive away and/or wipe out millions more natives from
their lands.
· 1868 – just two years after the end of
the Civil War in the States, the 2nd TREATY OF FORT LARAMIE was drafted. 1871
was the beginning of the extensive Buffalo Slaughter Campaign to starve out the
Indians (it was common practice to kill all the horses of captured Indian
villages also, those which could not be used by colonial Rangers). In 1873 already, huge mountains of buffalo
skulls poxed the New American West, more than 1.5
million buffalos massacred in one year alone.
In 1874 General Custer began his PR “run” of “Gold discovered in Sioux
Black Hills Territories!” Col. McKinsey
soon declared afterwards a TOTAL WAR against indigenous peoples. Many Indian chiefs joined Freemason lodges
just to survive, taking orders from their new Brothers and often becoming Grand
Master of a new native lodge.
· 1880s—both dominant Protestant and
minority Catholic efforts to steal and raise Indian children into Christianity.
· 1887 – The General Allotment Act of
Congress, very anti-Indian.
· 1903 – the U.S. Supreme Court gives
Congress unlimited authority to break all Indian treaties.
· 1960s – Sterilization of Lakota Indian
Women Program followed by Pine Ridge and Wounded Knee uprisings.

* U.S. Student loans that originate from Sallie Mae or
Navient are not federal loans. They are private loans. Sallie Mae and Navient offer few to no
options for repayment and do not offer any kind of income-based repayment
plans.
* Navient is Sallie Mae "rebranded":
don't be fooled by this PR stunt.
* No student loan is protected by bankruptcy—not
private loans, not federal loans, none of them. If you attempt to discharge
your loans in bankruptcy, there is a very high chance that your efforts will be
unsuccessful.
On September
17, 2010, it was announced that Sallie Mae will acquire federally insured loans
from Citigroup-owned Student Loan Corporation worth $28 billion. On Feb 25, 2014, Sallie Mae (aka SLM
Corp) announced the new name for the student loan side which will be called "Navient". Navient
now manages nearly $300 billion in student loans for more than 12 million customers, the company was formed in 2014 by the split of
Sallie Mae into two distinct entities, Sallie Mae Bank and Navient. It seems
around this time Sallie Mae sold off all her student loan assets and then
bought them back again under their new business name change to Navient, and
thereby avoided many lawsuits and prosecutions and it is the same ole same ole
Sallie Mae swindle and rake off that it was, but now with a face lift and name
change to NAVIENT. Already by In August 2015, the Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau sent Navient a letter telling its executives that the agency's
enforcement staff had found enough evidence to indicate the company violated
consumer protection laws. On May 28, 2015, the United States Department of
Justice announced that nearly 78,000 military service members would begin
receiving $60 million in compensation for being charged excess interest on
their student loans by Navient.
National
student loan debt has climbed to $1.4 trillion as of 2017
In June 2016, stockholders filed a class action lawsuit against Navient. The plaintiffs included Chicago police officers and retired city employees in Providence, Rhode Island. Up to 2017, already "tens of thousands" of complaints were filed against Navient. In 2017, 6,708 federal complaints were filed about the company, in addition to 4,185 private complaints – more than any other student loan lender in the history of the world.

formerly known as Sallie Mae, is being sued by California’s Attorney General
Xavier Becerra. In a suit filed Thursday, Becerra accused Navient,
the nation’s largest student loan servicer, of cheating thousands of borrowers
and forcing them to repay more than they owed. Becerra’s suit alleges that
borrowers were steered toward repayment plans that exceeded their income
levels, and that in some cases, Navient misrepresented how much borrowers
owed. When forced to pay more than they owed, many borrowers then defaulted on
their student loans. “By taking Navient to court, we’re sending a very strong
message that these practices will not be tolerated,” he said before the filing,
according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
National
student loan debt has climbed to $1.4 trillion as of 2017
In
February 2007, New York Attorney General’s office launched an investigation
into deceptive lending practices by student loan providers, including The College Board, EduCap, Nelnet, Citibank, and Sallie Mae.. On October 10, 2007, documents surfaced showing that
Sallie Mae was attempting to use the Freedom of Information Act to force
colleges to turn over students' personal information to unfriendly predatory
hands. The university involved was SUNY, State University of New York, which
declined the request and was forced to defend its position in court. In December 2007, a class action lawsuit was
brought against Sallie Mae in a Connecticut federal court alleging that SALLIE MAE discriminated against African American student loan
applicants by charging them much higher interest rates and fees. The
lawsuit also alleged that Sallie Mae failed to properly disclose profit gouging
terms in student loans to unsuspecting students. Finally, under the terms of a
settlement, Sallie Mae agreed to make a $500,000 donation to the United Negro
College Fund and the attorneys for the plaintiffs received a whopping and
handsome $1.8 million in attorneys' fees for being the erudite middlemen. (Wikipedia)
