Obama Clears the
Way For America's 2 Largest Oil Well Feilds Shutdown in Texas
ChicoER Gate ^ | 4/25/11 | Chuck Wolk
From the moment Richard Nixon created the EPA in
1970, and signed
the Endangered
Species Act (ESA) into law, they have been the primary engines of social
change used by leftists environmental elitists to
destroy America.
They have done so by infiltrating the EPA, and the US Fish & Wildlife (USF&W) the agency which decides what animals
will be listed as endangered. Now, 28 years later, these renegade
environmentalist wackos are prepared to use the ESA
to shut down oil and gas operations in portions of Southeast New Mexico and in West Texas, including the state's top two oil producing
counties. All because of a tiny lizard they claim to be endangered, and Obama
who has the power to put it on a waiting list has cleared the way for it to
be listed.
Through the years the EPA & the ESA have been
used to shut down vast areas of America
that we as Americans need to survive in a modern world. Areas that contain,
rich farmland needed to grow food that both America and foreign countries need
to feed billions of people. Forest areas so rich in timber that the price of building homes could be
reduced dramatically if only we were allowed to harvest them. Instead,
year after year we spend billions fighting fires that reduce the timber to
ashes. When it comes to energy, these government paid earth worshipers have
used their power to keep us from drilling for oil, and stand in the way of
building needed power plants all across America. According to a recent Congressional
report America
has the largest oil, coal, and natural gas reserves in the world, if tapped we
could be completely energy independent. Truth is, America has enough natural
energy reserves, timberland, sustainable farm land, freshwater lakes and
underground reservoirs that we could reduce the cost of living for each and
every American by more than 50%, if only the governments chains of restrictions
were removed.
The earth worshiping environmentalists running the
USF&W have used an owl to shut down logging in the Northwest, a mouse to
shut down wheat farming in Colorado, a minnow and rat to end vegetable growing
in California, a frog has closed fish hatcheries in the deep South, while the
reintroduction of wolves are endangering the lives of ranchers, farmers, and
hunters all across America from the Rockies to Maine. Now they are
planning to use a lizard to shut down two of Americas
largest oil wells in Texas.
We already have one of the largest oil reserves put off limits by the EPA in Anwar
Alaska, while Obama is ignoring a Federal judges order to allow drilling to
continue in the Gulf. This while almost every communist
country in the world has oil wells operating in our backyard, the Gulf of Mexico.
In a logical universe, we would have politicians
that would do all they can to make sure Americans had a cost of living so low
that no one in America would be struggling to make ends meet. Instead
these traitors would rather see Americans struggle to survive while they act as
if their various government programs are saving the day. Never before in the
history of the world has a countries leaders tried so hard to force its
citizens to become so dependent and subservient to other countries. Many of
which are our sworn enemies. Can anyone imagine Alexander, Caesar, or even
George Washington forcing their citizens to humble themselves before an enemy
of lesser power like Persia,
Carthage, or England? No, only a modern day
Judas, Ephialtes, or Benedict Arnold,
would cause their own people to suffer the indignities our leaders so
consistently force us to.
The current threat to America's freedom comes from a 3
inch lizard called the Sceloporus Arenicolus,
or better known as the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard or the Sand Dune Lizard. It was
originally classified as a subspecies of the Sceloporus Graciosus, or
Common Sagebrush Lizard. Before they designated the Dune Lizards as a separate
species, there were so many of them you could feed them to the Chinese as a
delicacy and never run out. It was in 2002
that the Center for Biological Diversity first petitioned to have the
lizard listed as endangered. The Bush administration stood in the way of the
lizard being listed for 6 years, but last year Obama cleared the way by
ordering his administration to back off from delaying the listing. This in
spite of the news
that Obama has repeatedly refused to grant species the protection for which
they are known to qualify adding them instead to the waiting list. So why did
he allow this lizard to be listed? There can be only one reason, and that is
because Obama wants to destroy America's
ability to be energy free. So his relentless attack on America's
energy capabilities continues. Go figure.
There was a rally in Roswell
NM last week on April 20th that had hundreds protesting the listing and
there will be another one on Tuesday April 26th, in Midland Tx
at the Midland Center
that begins at 5 p.m. with Congressman
Mike Conaway will speaking to the concerned citizens. Then on Wednesday
April 27th, there will be a public hearing held at 6:30 p.m
at the Midland Center. If you want to be heard then be
there to support those at the front line in the battle to stop a lizard from
shutting down Americas 2 largest working oil wells.

majority to prevail, but rather an irate,
tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds."

The following is from the Federal
register PDF file. In it the USF&W explains what they are
attempting to accomplish through the Endangered Species Act,
(here is
the link to the official PDF file)
We, the USF&W,
propose to list the dunes sagebrush lizard (Sceloporus
Arenicolus), a lizard known from southeastern New Mexico and adjacent west Texas, as endangered under the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended. If we finalize the rule as proposed, it
would extend the Act's protections to this species. We have determined that
critical habitat for the dunes sagebrush lizard is prudent but not
determinable at this time.
Proposed Listing
Determination We have carefully assessed the best scientific and commercial
information available regarding the past, present, and future threats to the
dunes sagebrush lizard. The dunes sagebrush lizard faces immediate and
significant threats due to oil and gas activities, and herbicide treatments.
Habitat loss and fragmentation due to oil and gas development is a
measureable factor impacting the species due to the removal of shinnery oak and creation of roads and pads, pipelines,
and power lines that create habitat patches and increase the proportion of
habitat edge to habitat interior. In addition, impacts that are not easily
quantified such as climate change, competition, and pollution may exacerbate
adverse effects caused by habitat loss. Cumulative threats to the dunes
sagebrush lizard are not being adequately addressed through existing
regulatory mechanisms. Oil and gas pollutants are a current and ongoing
threat to the species throughout its range.
We believe the
following actions may jeopardize this species, and therefore we would seek to
conference with BLM and NRCS on these actions:
- The lease of land for
oil and gas drilling,
- Applications to drill,
- Applications for
infrastructure through dunes (including, but not limited to pipelines
and power lines),
- OHV activities,
- Seismic exploration,
- Continued oil and gas
operations (release of pollution and routine maintenance),
- Grazing leases,
- Renewable resource
activities, and
- Chemical and
mechanical removal of shinnery oak habitat.
- Do not place power
lines and fences through shinnery oak dune
complexes;
- Develop transmission
corridors for pipelines and power lines;
- Limit pollution by
inspecting pipelines and equipment;
- Develop and implement
plans for cleaning oil spills;
- Limit hydrogen sulfide
emissions;
- Maintain wells; and
- Limit any further
infrastructure that would remove the shinnery
oak dunes.
Possible measures that
could be implemented to conserve the dunes sagebrush lizard and its habitat
are:
- Maintain 500-m
(1640-ft) wide dispersal corridors in shinnery
oak dunes for the dunes sagebrush lizards to disperse between habitat
patches;
- Discontinue chemical
spraying within occupied or suitable habitat;
- Place well pads
outside of shinnery oak dunes and corridors
between dune complexes;
- Manage well density to
limit development in habitat;
- Minimize well pad size
and carry out site reclamation;
- Develop techniques to
recreate shinnery oak dunes;
- Limit OHV use in
occupied habitat;
- Minimize impacts of
seismic exploration by thumper trucks;
- Develop a public
awareness program;
