Public Lands, Private Profits: A Grand Threat

Summary The Center for American Progress, in partnership with the Sierra Club, undertook a series of video mini-documentaries that revealed special places held in the public trust that could be threatened by energy development. In this story we profile the new rush to mine for uranium around the Grand Canyon and the advocates who are fighting back against it. Despite the popular belief that lands surrounding the canyon are off-limits to development, a Canadian company is currently excavating uranium on the North Rim. Among the characters that we meet are a tribal leader whose people's sacred lands are under threat by increased mining activity and a former park supervisor who warns of the risks of water contamination in the canyon's fragile ecosystem.

The Truth

The Truth

The US and UK is going through some political crisis right now, there's a plan from Russia's Putin to destabilize both countries and its working. The underlying truth is there doing it behind both country's back door through the tobacco companies. It's no secret that the tobacco companies are smuggling cigarettes with the Columbian Drug cartel with the help of the Russian Mafia in Europe and the US, therefore the US and UK Tobacco companies have a strong bond with the Russian Mafia. In the US the Tobacco companies now have control over three branches of our government, The Executive, the Legislative (except for the newly elected Democratic controlled Congress), and the Supreme Court. A ruling in the US Supreme Court in June 2016, US RJ Reynolds vs EU 26 members was ruled in RJ Reynolds favor, even though the EU had a solid case. The real reason why it was ruled in Reynolds favor will startle you, it is disclosed in this documentary. The UK has a monarchy that stays out of politics, there's seems to be an implied attempt from the US Ultra-Rightwing Federalist Society party to overthrow our government soon and install a political monarchy, crowning Donald Trump King, the only thing in their way is the Democratic controlled Congress. I started investigating my son's murder, ran into one road block after another through our justice system, it took me two and a half years to find The Truth. Part of this documentary was trying to find justice for my sons contracted murder
