Opinion: The USDA Wants Control of Your Land, Air, Water. Action Needed by Sept 16th

by Karen Schoen

WASHINGTON D.C. - Contrary to popular belief when the US government puts a program in place and it loses in Congress, they don't end the program. All they do is change the name and bring it back again. Remember the National Asset Company, NAC?  This was the company run by the USDA, Department of Agriculture that was going to put a monetary value on all environmental services.  What is an environmental service? Basically, they intend to put a monetary value on land, air, water, trees anything that had to do with the environment.  
We were able to stop the NAC by the people participating and making comments on the USDA web site. We thought it was gone. Boy, were we foolish. Because it's back again under a new name called the Sustain Act. The Sustains Act was signed into law as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023. Congress signed another bill without reading it. This one provides USDA with the authority to accept contributions of private funds that can be channeled through its existing conservation programs and provides additional guidelines for those contributions.
According to the American Stewards of Liberty, Americanstewards.us The USDA is preparing policy to implement the Sustains Act, which will monetize NATURALPROCESSES determining who will own “environmental services,” which include the air we breathe, photosynthesis, pollination, and the health benefits of open space. 
We have until Sept 16 to register comments.
According to American Stewards: The earlier attempt to accomplish this was stopped when the Natural Asset Company scam was soundly defeated in January. This ACT is the first step towards implementing UN Agenda 21/2030, the United Nations’ sustainable development agenda. The Sustains Act will provide the path to transfer America’s real assets from private citizens to federal and international interests.
This Act needs to be repealed which is why it is so important to get the right people in Congress and stop these insane continuing resolutions (CRs) which are implemented without being read.
We have an opportunity to go on the USDA website and put a comment in the comment section just like we did with the NAC. If you want more information, please go to the AmericanStewart.us website where the description of this act which by the way is already on the books. We have until September 16th to place our comments. We know that this worked because the NAC was killed so let's kill this one also.
