HOUSE FLOOR AND SENATE COMMITTEE ACTION ON THE FISCAL YEAR 2004 INTERIOR AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS BILL - DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR HFSFY 2004 I

FWS Land Acquisition
 
(Mention of inholdings on pages 3, 15, 36, and 38. This report is interesting in that it separates letters so that a search for a word does not produce a result; for example, Acquisition is spelled "A cquisition" with a space between the first and second letter. This is not the only word that receives this 'treatment.')

Contents on Page 4 list fires from New Mexico, Montana and Virginia in 2000; Florida and California in 2001; New Jersey, Colorado, Arizona, South Dakota, Oregon and California in 2002. CUSP - Coalition for the Upper South Platte - is mentioned on page 38 as having coordinated volunteer efforts and EWPs - Emergency Watershed Programs. On page 47, discussing the 2002 Biscuit Fire of Oregon and California, it is mentioned, almost as an apologetic afterthought, that "The private land that burned was mostly inholdings within the public land matrix." Page 52 lists the ten 'case study' fires with the 'condition class.' Six of the ten fires were 'Condition Class 3,' which "signifies forest areas with significantly altered fire regime, fire frequency, and vegetation attributes from their historical range." This appears to imply that if humans had not 'altered' the vegetation and landscape, such fires would have been a non-issue. The discussion continues on page 53 and further underpins this line of 'logic.'

A Google.com search for "IUCN" "inholdings" produced 59 results.
 
"UNDP" "inholdings" got 4 important results:

(IMPORTANT NOTE: On page 32, the IUCN [International Union for the Conservation of Nature, or World Conservation Union, a United Nations tentacle] in Sianka'an, Mexico, concocted both an 'Ecological Land Use Plan' and a 'Management Plan' to acquire property, also using a "...new initiative ... on a transferable development rights strategy to deal with all the beach front inholdings." This could be a primer on 'land and resource acquisition by hook or by crook.')

G : AAP SO5 GMBR Page 1. G UATEMALA : A SSESSMENT AND A NALYSIS OF P ROGRESS TOWARD SO5 G OALS IN THE M AYA B IOSPHERE R ESERVE [MBR] (Important Note: Note the separation of letters that cause a word search not to get a result, even in the title of this IUCN 108-page report from December 6, 2000. Reference is made to inholdings on page 97; GoG being the acronym for 'Government of Guatemala'. SO5 is an acronym for Strategic Objective 5. IR is an acronym -- this alphabet soup speak is truly 'speaking in code' -- for Intermediate Result. Indigenous peoples of such countries stand little chance of resisting global PacMan, with their limited education running up against the experts of language deception. Just one example, from page 69: "1. Human Settlements in the Maya Biosphere Reserve. a. Benchmark. Policy for human settlements in the Maya Biosphere Reserve is developed based on consensus." Gee, why don't they just go ahead and change the spelling to 'Conned Senses'? Because that's exactly what it is. On page 52: UTPMs is the deliberately coded Municipal Planning Technical Units; SARNs is Natural Resource Sections. Page 51: MAGA stands for 'Ministry of Agriculture.' Page 46: "USAID [United States Agency for International Development] and its partners should recognize the 'buffer zone' for what it is -- a Service Corridor -- and start managing it in a way that exploits the many important economic, ecological and social linkages..." Page 38: SIGAP - Guatemalan System of Protected Areas. Who would guess that that's what SIGAP stands for? Page 35 mentions The Nature Conservancy and the work TNC is doing... Page 27: "Recognize the Buffer Zone for what it is and rename it to more accurately reflect what it is. We suggest 'Service Corridor.'" Page 12 again mentions the 'Buffer Zone' is not a buffer zone and 'never has been,' and that it is a 'densely populated Service Corridor.')
