Getting Candid About Conservation with Rep. Tom Tiffany
In today’s District of Conservation episode, I have an exclusive interview out with Rep. Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District.
Rep. Tiffany currently serves as chair of the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Federal Lands.
“If it's not multiple-use land, then it's not public land. And I think we really need to emphasize that this is the public's land. And we can do we can do all-of-the-above out on our public lands. I think it's really important to emphasize that, but we need to tell the stories. We need to tell the stories both in terms of the negative that by not managing our federal forests, as we should have, that is what has led to these massive forest fires. That's what's burned down communities. That's what's threatened our sequoias. I think that gets people's attention when it's actually the lack of management. It's simply using a preservationist mode, which has created these problems. And we need to continue to tell those stories about how management is good and leads us to the outcomes that you want to have these rich places with biological diversity and such you get that by management because the landscape is ever changing.” - Rep. Tom Tiffany on District of Conservation - July 24, 2023

Don’t Let Corporatists and Central Planners Own You
One-world government. Social credit scores. You will own nothing and be happy.
At first glance, these sound like conspiracy theories. A vast right-wing conspiracy, if you will.
But the aforementioned things weren't devised by conservatives or right-wingers. Rather, heads of government, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and corporations want us to relinquish our possessions and surrender our freedoms to them.
A “new financial world order” is on the horizon, argues Carol Roth. She’s the author of the new book, You Will Own Nothing: Your War with a New Financial World Order and How to Fight Back.
Her title derives from the viral World Economic Forum video wishcasting eight predictions by 2030–including the Orwellian-sounding “You will own nothing. And you’ll be happy.”
Due to massive backlash, WEF conveniently made it disappear. The video was a complement to a 2016 WEF essay by Danish politician Ida Auken. Like the video, it’s been archived. Yet, the Wayback Machine still retains Auken’s essay, titled, “Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better.”
Roth warns even President Joe Biden is committed to the war on ownership. He told the Business Roundtable in 2022 that “things are shifting…there’s going to be a new world order out there, and we’ve got to lead it. And we’ve got to unite the rest of the free world in doing it.”
“The US economy has been rigged as it has been moved further away from free market capitalism to a cronyist nightmare wherein central planners and big companies work together to consolidate power,” the commentator writes.
