The Trump administration is rolling back parts of the Endangered Species Act...

“This proposal turns the extinction-prevention tool of the Endangered Species Act into a rubber stamp for powerful corporate interests,” Brett Hartl, government affairs director at the Center for Biological Diversity

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-administration-endangered-species-act_us_5b50a40ae4b0b15aba8c68a0

 The 1973 law was passed with strong bipartisan support and has an impressive record of bringing species like the bald eagle and the humpback whale back from the brink of extinction. Today it provides protections for more than 1,600 plants and animals, as well as the habitats critical to their survival.

Justice Department investigating Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. So THAT'S Why they tried to replace the Inspector General.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/30/politics/zinke-justice-department/index.html
The Justice Department is investigating Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke for possibly using his office for personal gain, following a referral from Interior's inspector general, two sources familiar with the investigation say.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-interior-zinke/probe-into-conduct-of-u-s-interior-secretary-zinke-referred-to-doj-reports-idUSKCN1N42IV

Referring a probe to the Justice Department means it will explore whether evidence warrants a criminal investigation. Mary Kendall, the acting inspector general of the Interior Department, is conducting at least three probes into Zinke’s conduct, but it was not clear which probe had been sent to the Justice Department, the Washington Post said.

Corruption? Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is the subject of 14 separate government investigations. Then he Fired Annoying Inspector General

Zinke just fired the Department of the Interior’s acting inspector general.

The news doesn’t stop there. Not only did Mary Kendall, the acting inspector general, not learn she was being replaced until The Hill broke the news this morning, but her replacement will likely be able to fill the role without needing to go through Senate confirmation.

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke Lives in Backwards World: Opens more Wildlife Refuges to Hunting. But, The GOAL of a REFUGE is to PREVENT Hunting... DUH...

http://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/405616-zinke-opens-more-wildlife-refuges-to-hunting
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke on Friday allowed for new or expanded hunting or fishing at 30 wildlife refuges. The move opens 251,000 new acres to hunting or fishing across the Fish and Wildlife Service’s (FWS) refuge system, FWS said.

Preventing California's Wildfires: Stop Climate Change OR Increase Logging to remove fuel? Or Do Both? We Are Burning Up Now and Next Year Will BE WORSE.

Interior Secretary Zinke says that increasing logging would make people safer because there would be fewer trees to burn... and firefighters could put out the fires easier... Of course, if we simply used ONE THOUSAND helicopters to dump water on the fires we could put them out. Why not bring all the Helicopters home from the wars in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Africa? We could employ the soldiers as firefighters... bring them home and keep them safe...

Do not increase logging in the Redwood Forest. We are logging at a good rate already. The people that run the Pacific Lumber (Now known as Humboldt Redwood Company and Mendocino Redwood Company) are doing a fine job already. No Logging of OLD GROWTH... Cut only as much as grows every year and we can log forever. Redwoods grow in a cool and rainy climate and we have not had a lot of wildfires here...

Should we remove trees in Pine, Oak and Douglas Fir forests in order to reduce hazards? Does that makes sense at all. The people at "The Earth Island Institute" say that increased logging does not make us safer...

But Pine, Oak and Fir trees grow quickly and if we cut down the forest... or "Thin" the forest (as Zinke says) we can plant new trees and they will grow quickly... We do use boards to build houses... but there is no real need to Log OLD GROWTH REDWOODS for lumber... It is possible to build a fine home without Redwood Boards... Why NOT log pine, oak and Fir forests?

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke sidesteps climate change in broadside blaming ‘radical environmentalists’ for wildfires... Obviously Wrong...

https://thinkprogress.org/trump-and-zinke-blame-environmentalists-not-climate-change-for-the-wildfires-4f5c5109054e/ 

President Donald Trump finally took notice of the California wildfires earlier this week when he used the ongoing disasters to attack the state’s water policies and the nation’s environmental laws.

Trump’s perplexing comments were followed by an op-ed in USA Today by Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, published Wednesday, that attacked “radical environmentalists” for using litigation to stop the federal government from employing methods to manage forests that they believe are harmful to ecosystems and wildlife.

Interior Secretaru Ryan Zinke CAUGHT in a Scandal with Halliburton and a Real Estate Deal. Including a Microbrewery that Ryan has been trying to build for years.

Zinke is the head of the Government Agency that regulates FRACKING LAWS... and Halliburton is in the FRACKING BUSINESS... and now... Zinke is ruling FAVORABLY... and getting what can only be seen as a BRIBE,

Exclusive: Zinke linked to real estate deal with Halliburton chairman. In the interior secretary’s hometown, a development brings together the head of the nation’s largest oil-services company and a foundation created by the man who regulates it.

WHITEFISH, Mont. — A foundation established by Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and headed by his wife is playing a key role in a real-estate deal backed by the chairman of Halliburton, the oil-services giant that stands to benefit from any of the Interior Department’s decisions to open public lands for oil exploration or change standards for drilling.


A group funded by David Lesar, the Halliburton chairman, is planning a large commercial development on a former industrial site near the center of the Zinkes’ hometown of Whitefish, a resort area that has grown increasingly popular with wealthy tourists. The development would include a hotel and retail shops. There also would be a microbrewery — a business first proposed in 2012 by Ryan Zinke and for which he lobbied town officials for half a decade.

The thousands of pages of email correspondence chart how Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and his aides tailored their survey of protected sites to emphasize the value of logging, ranching and energy development that would be unlocked  if they were not designated national monuments. Comments the department’s Freedom of Information Act officers made in the documents show that they sought to keep some of the references out of the public eye because they were “revealing [the] strategy” behind the review.

These Emails Show Exactly How Science Was Wiped Out at the Department of the Interior

Clearing the way for drones, jet skis, and luxury developments in our national parks.

Correct answer: BOTH!

Secretary of Interior Zinke is Opposed to Protecting Land and in Favor of Corporate Profits. He Reduced the size of National Monuments in order to Enable Logging, Oil Drilling and Mining.

https://www.outsideonline.com/2327916/secretary-interior-ryan-zinke-scandal

Secretary Zinke decided the Department of Interior should do away with a policy called “compensatory mitigation.” It was introduced to act as a give and take between extraction industries and environmentalists by asking companies to offset damage in one spot by funding conservation in another. For example, if a company wanted to expand its operation on public lands in one area where unavoidable damage to a stream was likely, the company might back a wetland restoration project in another area. 

Zinke's announcement came just a few days after the Trump administration said it wants to overhaul the Endangered Species Act (primarily to make it easier for companies to work in protected habitats), and environmentalists saw this as another move to hack away at protections in favor of industry.

The Endangered Species Act, or ESA, is the key piece of US legislation protecting wildlife. Since its passage in 1973, it’s been credited with helping the rebound of the bald eagle, the grizzly bear, the humpback whale, and many other species living throughout the US and in its waterways.

The strict regulations put in place by the act are often frustrating (and costly) roadblocks for industry like mining, and oil and gas drilling and for developers looking to build in areas where protected species live.

"Please make no changes at all to the Endangered Species Act. It is currently working great. Proposed changed by the Trump Administration seek to harm animals in order to increase Corporate Profits."

Trump says EPA chief Scott Pruitt has received Death Threats. That makes me ask some VERY TROUBLING QUESTIONS...

For Example: What if you invented a Time Machine and could travel to Austria in 1900, would you shoot Adolph Hitler as a child? Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one?

Yes, Scott Pruitt is causing damage to the USA by repealing Clean Air Laws and Clean Water Laws... and Yes, others in the Cursed Trump Administration want to repeal the Endangered Species Act... and Yes, Ryan Zinke wants to allow drilling for oil off the coasts... and in National Monuments...

BUT!

Do they deserve to die? 

Why not Psychic Re-Grooving? Wouldn't THAT be a better solution? Simply take them camping and let them eat peyote and dance all night around a fire while people play the drums? That would re-groove their bad attitudes... They would learn to LOVE animals and plants...

We would have an Environmental Protection Agency instead of an Enable Polluters Agency...
