EGYPT VALLEY RECOVERY/ DEVELOPMENT
“As citizens, we all have an obligation to intervene in government
and become involved – it’s the citizen who stops the bleeding.”
The day President Biden was sworn in he made mention of his 30×30 goal. Later he added a 50×50 goal to his list of future plans.
The 30×30 is a plan for the government to own 30% of the USA by 2030, then 50% by 2050. This is a flawed Agenda 21 plot that the people can not manage and should not own land—the government should be the owner of all land and all production.
This is their end game. The reason for the 30×30 land grab. The purpose for the climate crisis hysteria. We will own nothing. They will own everything. ~Margaret Byfield
In three years the government has added 24,000,000 acres to government ownership, the most of any administration. This land is taken out of private enterprise and removed from the tax base. More land “takings” are planned and states are conspiring with the feds to help confiscate these private properties. Under words like “conservation,” “wildlife refuges,” “natural areas,” “parks,” “protected lands,”and “public lands” these acres are adding up by the millions with names that are designed to be palatable to tax payers.
“Governments are capable of absolutely anything because they consider their citizens
a national resource available for exploitation, almost like cattle.” ~Doug Casey

- Loss surface lease agriculture use or recreation 28,000 a x $30 per acre = $840,000 per year x 28 years = $24,360,000.
- Oil/gas leases signing-deposits $5000 per acre = $140,000,000.
- Future oil/gas royalties per year 35 years $__________________?
- Liquidation surface 28,000 a $2000 per acre = $56,000,000
- Private enterprise loss of collateral-investment-value (lending can be up to 75% of value.)
- Loss to local citizens from private property taxes, income, food production, etc
- Under full agriculture production, fee hunting plus oil and gas production can work together producing income from all sources at the same time with intelligent management. $_______________________________________________
ORDERLY LIQUIDATION:

- Sell all EVWR property except selected scenic areas for attractive maintained recreation of no more than 1000 acres.
