Protecting ‘sacred’ lands as part of ‘managed decline’
By Duggan Flanakin |August 9th, 2023

It is increasingly clear that the Biden Administration’s minerals policy will tighten China and Russia’s grip on America’s declining future. On August 8, Biden permanently banned new uranium mining claims on nearly a million acres of the nation’s largest deposits of uranium ore by creating the Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni Grand Canyon National Monument in Arizona.

The move follows Biden’s creation in March of the Avi Kwa Ame National Park in Nevada, an action that removed 514,000 acres of lithium-rich public lands. Both these actions are touted as honoring Native American sacred sites in a nation that claims not to have a state religion. But we must assuage our guilt over centuries of slavery and genocide long in our past – and at the expense of our common future.

Only about 240 members of the 640-member Havasupai Tribe, the chief advocates for creating the monument, live on the 188,000-acre Havasupai Reservation in the Grand Canyon region. A number of small tribal groups claim the Avi Kwa Ame area as among the most sacred places on Earth. The national park and national monument designations may bring more tourists but bar any exploitation of the areas’ vital mineral resources.

Frankly, m'dear, our conquerors won't give a damn.

... and then there's Saudi Arabia's Sovereign Wealth Fund purchasing global resources and it just took a stake in Vale SA (Brazilian mining company).

Just means there's more money for Hunter to make from foreign "business" deals.
