Obama’s Ocean Policy Initiative: Washington’s latest power grab
As if the sputtering U.S. economy weren’t in enough trouble already, the Obama administration is cooking up a new scheme that will extend the heavy hand of Washington to somewhere it has never gone before.
Unveiled with precious little fanfare on July 19 in the form of an Executive Order, the White House’s Ocean Policy Initiative will subject America’s waterways — oceans , rivers, bays, estuaries, and the Great Lakes — to federal zoning. Under the scheme, these areas would be managed according to the Orwellian-sounding notion of “coastal and marine spatial planning.” As an unnamed administration official told the Los Angeles Times: “This sets the nation on a path of much more comprehensive planning to both conservation and sustainable use of [ocean] resources.”
An elaborate, multi-layered bureaucratic structure would oversee all of this. Nine regional commissions, composed of federal, state, and tribal officials, would decide which commercial and recreational activities are appropriate. Their recommendations, however, would have to be approved by a newly created National Ocean Council, which the White House says will “strengthen ocean governance and coordination.” The council will consist of spatial planners drawn from the likes of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Aeronautic and Space Agency (NASA), and the departments of Interior, Commerce, Agriculture, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services.
And now… the rest of the story. …..

Obama’s scheme effectively establishes a (Green Mafia) that will rein power through multi-layered federal bureaucracies to impede and outlaw commercial/residential real estate development by creating (Zones) real estate can or cannot be developed or used for recreational purposes. The Obama administration’s scheme will obviously destroy jobs and terminate a state’s right to decide zoning decisions that affect their jurisdictions. Obama’s plan is a backdoor for federal government to seize control of private real property by outlawing States and private Citizens’ right to use or develop their property. It is obvious Obama’s Green Mafia will use its planned multi-layered bureaucratic structures similar to the former Soviet Union, controlling U.S. States (like Satellite countries) to further centralize power in federal government, i.e., force States, corporations and private Citizens to beg on their knees from federal for the right to use or develop their real estate to avoid their property made worthless (zoned) unusable for development by Obama’s ilk . Obama’s scheme if implemented will open the door for a federal Green Mafia to extort, blackmail States, corporations, other financial interests to support more federal schemes that will centralize power in federal government; including extorting political support, contributions and bribes. Obama’s scheme lays the groundwork to strangle state rights. Marxist gangsters in the Obama administration appear intended to destroy the U.S. economy and private property ownership to accomplish a leftest agenda. It is understandable many Americans believe some in the Obama administration should be arrested for treason.
