Vote all the politicians out that support that Chinese company!
So right...why isn't anyone asking who sold this mine to the communist chinese...was it someone local?
Yes, it was a local developer. I won't say his name because I don't have personal knowledge of it.@@virginiaingram20
🤬🤬🤬 this is infuriating! No foreign country should be able to come in and destroy federal land
Apparently the mine is on private property not on the Prescott National Forest
@@beegeefan4ever it's still American soil. Our country or the person who owns should be the only benefactors
I agree. We should not allow other countries come into the country and steal our resources!
@@beegeefan4everDid you even watch the video? The 3 mines surround a mountain on NF land. They are trying to level that mountain and mine 1000 acres of NF, which I’m assuming is “phase two” of their plan if they can get approval.
You’re right Brian! This should not be allowed! I sincerely hope this is halted!
It would be bad enough if an American business was doing this. The fact that a for eign company is being allowed to despoil OUR land behind the backs of the local citizens is utterly outrageous. Thank you letting us know about it, Brian.
Signed and donated! If everyone took care of their little corner of the planet, the world would be a better place. I support you 100%.
You’re doing good work Brian. Keep it up.
The reason for the destruction is for dominance in technology, military, and profit. The latter being the bottom line. Thank you for posting this. Great work!!
The federal government isn’t even supposed to own land (according to the constitution, they get 10 square miles which is Washington D.C., forts, ports, and necessary buildings only) it’s supposed to be the states land and they should get any profits made from them.
Guess which president was returning land rights back to states. Guess which one stopped the process.
While that sounds great, it’s the complete opposite of what the constitution says.
“Pursuant to the Property Clause of the United States Constitution (Article 4, section 3, clause 2), Congress has the power to retain, buy, sell, and regulate federal lands, such as by limiting cattle grazing on them. These powers have been recognized in a long series of United States Supreme Court decisions.”
The clause you stated regarding 10 miles of D.C.: “Clause 17" merely allows Congress to exercise exclusive control over that federal district, and over any structures constructed there deemed necessary for carrying on the business of the national government (such as forts, arsenals, and post offices). It does not preclude the federal government from purchasing or holding title to other land within the various states, or from using public land for purposes such as establishing and managing parks, forests, dams, waterways, and grazing areas without the consent of the states in which those facilities are located.
As far as you wanting states to run these protected areas, it would never work. Do you know how much it costs to keep these areas usable/functioning for the public? Do you know how many federal agencies (and their resources) are involved in maintaining these places? We also know there’s plenty of politicians that would happily sell that land to anyone with funds to buy, regardless of ecological impact.
Everyone should consider this specific situation when they vote this year. Regardless of your personal feelings, it’s a fact that Trump has caused the most detrimental impacts to environmental protections than any other president in history (this information is available to anyone). He reversed or rolled back over 100 environmental protections, some of which WILL BENEFIT THE MINING COMPANY IN THIS SITUATION. He fast-tracked mining permits, reduced and/or removed regulations (such as the approval and oversight to limit pollution/toxins/destruction that could taint the surrounding area).
Although, after reading some of these comments, I realize that most aren’t concerned with the destruction to the ecosystem, nor do they comprehend how potentially devastating the impact will be on the town and residents, they’re just angry that the company is Chinese.
@@Sapereaudex Territories are not States but I guess they maybe able to purchase land but that’s crap imo. They’re buying up our land with our money or money they printed out of thin air.
Don't expect Meadow to be Sierra. Meadow has her own unique gifts to give. Once she outgrows the puppy stage.❤
Signed and donated! I don't even live in Arizona but I can't stand this kind of crap!
Im in Michigan i grew up out that way spreading the petition now if theres anything I can do feel free to let me know Chinese companies are buying up property here left and right
Who is giving them access to federal lands(national forest)?
Good question something to Ask our representatives
our dear leader
hunter biden
It’s pretty easy to figure out which party and which reps led to charge to sell off federal land. Hint: look at the legislation passed in 2017 and who was in control of congress at the time.
On top of everything why are the Chinese allowed to buy land and lately they bought a large amount of farmland in Oregon(the Oregon farm was not disclosed to the U.S. Gov when they bought it on top of everything). Why on earth are we not protecting our precious land so many fought for so long ago. I am so sorry to all the folks nearby my god and poor Mother Earth.
Unfortunately you live in the biggest capitalist country in the world,money over people,
Yanasa TV channel yesterday said that Oregon is shutting down small farms
What?!?@@daynaphipps4912
Yes, how right you are...but who is the Ameerican citizen that sold this land to the communist Chinese. Why is no one talking about that? Unbelieveable.
Where is info on the Oregon farm land?
Spread the word. Americans are getting fed up with this nonsense.
Locked, loaded, prepped and waiting.
Everybody says they're fed up but nobody goes and blocks off the mining company, just complaining on the internet. When the Hoffman's and discovery channel went to Colorado to mine they go shot at all the time, they left eventually.
They are too busy doing the neighborhood watch 😂😂😂,,
So I live in Arkansas and our governor passed an order forcing a Chinese co owned by their gov to sell land they purchased in the NE part of our state that was being used for purposes of research that was detrimental to our country. It was food related but considered spying. I can’t remember all the specifics but that’s what it takes to stop this kind of foreign action.
Signed the petition and donated. How ridiculous.
had a co from nevada mine gold in our county, they signed all kinds of promises that no damage would be done and the site would cleaner when they left than when they started. they went bankrupt and we were left with the mess which includes contaminated drinking water. cancer rates have soared and there is no recourse.
Why oh why do we sell our precious land to foreigners??? I will sign. This is unacceptable! God help the water dam. You missed one step...they will sell the finished product back to us. I can't begin to imagine the environmental devistation! It's a shame what they will sacrifice for the almighty $$$.😢😢😢
This is disturbing. Thank you, for letting us know!
Hi Brian and sweet energetic Meadow. Not good, buying then destroying the land for plain ugly greed! Happy to hear you're feeling better.
We stopped the Saudi company in Southern AZ. We can stop these people too!
That looks awful. Paradise lost.
How does this happen 😮 strip and destroy our land and national forest....follow the money. Someone approved this😡
No words😢 Petition signed!😡
This breaks my heart.
Signed petition…prayer you feel fine and evil mining stopped
Not good! But AZ always sells out. Saudi Arabia for a long time was able to grow water guzzling alfalfa crop using unlimited ground water in AZ.
It only recently came to an end but they own lots of land in AZ. Why is that?
Business isn’t always honest ☠️
Signed, trying to share and donate now. This needs to be stopped 🤬
I don't live anywhere near Arizona and I signed this petition. This makes my blood boil. I don't know how this is even legal.
Thank you for keeping us updated. We support you Brian. Will sign
Uranium can be processed to be made into weapons …national security issues ?
Thank you for sharing this information. This strip mining project should never have been allowed to start. I agree, foreign companies should never be allowed to purchase our land, or our mineral rights, etc. I hope that by raising awareness, you are successful at stopping this devastation.
Signed! What a nightmare
How the hell is that legal State or Federal. Write your Governor!
Unfortunately our governor is on the side of the current administration
Signed and donated!
I cannot believe this is happening. 😢.
Petition signed
so messed up
SHARED ON FACEBOOK AND X , BEST WISHES BRIAN , FIGHT THE ENEMY
This is horrendous in so many ways. Good work, Brian. Signed and donated.
As a nearby resident, this is absolutely ridiculous! This needs to be shut down now!
Signed and shared.used to live in az..hope it gets stopped!
Signed in Louisiana. This is outrageous that our gov would even allow this, but what do we expect at this point?
Why is any foreign company allowed to mine in the US?
Thanks for sharing Brian had no idea this was happening in my backyard!!!!!
Bad bad not good!!!!!
10 percent to the big guy. Why is any foreign country allowed to extract so much wealth out of our country while leaving a large hole that has the potential of being a massive environmental disaster. Possibly contaminating scarce water. Feel sorry for the Americans that already live close to the mining. What a nightmare for them.
Keep up the good work!!
Shared and signed
This Land is Our Land that so many have sacrificed for! The state of Arizona has the Constitutional right to put an end to this. What I believe however, is that there are those in this country that will benefit from this activity, and this is what we are up against. Calling these people out will be difficult but not impossible. Let us stay the course in this endeavor.
Signed!
Thanks for exposing! It’s awful… will spread the word…
Signed. Maybe the governor/ AG can concentrate on this instead of trying to disarm the Arizona citizenry…
Ahmein and ahmein
It's unfortunate that the private land owners sold out, but most people have a price. Keep up the good work Brian. Signed.
Ah, NO! no foreign country should be mining and / or owning U.S. land!
Thanks, that was great information.
Everyone please sign the petition
Brian Sorry to hear that , hope it doesn't happen .❤❤
Signed
This is so upsetting to me.
There are people in Arizona receiving huge financial kickbacks from this.
Definitely go to the library and ask for a copy of the mining permit to read and review. A copy is always at the library. If not check with the State DNR office for a copy and review any recent violations and confrontations. If there is an extensive cave system underground that could lead to sinkholes in unwanted areas and especially residences being dangerous to the community especially. Document, video, and get area residents involved, news coverage also. With a dam, and the age of the dam an unwanted flood is a major disaster the area does not need.
That stinks!
Effin gross! Signed and donated!
Be careful
Thank you for helping get the word out.
Thank you Brian for your activism..
OMG How is this even possible?
Just putting this at the top level. Everyone’s rightly upset by this. That should cause people to look at which reps (and recent President) led the charge to sell off national land. Just do some reading and vote for people who support the policies that you want, instead of the nonsense that they try to distract us with.
Uh oh this doesn’t sound good. Time to round up the monkey wrench gang.
Back in the day people would sneak into these sites and sabotage the equipment, flatten tires, sugar in gas tanks, etc, make it impossible to operate, I'm for hire if anyone wants thst option 😉
So sad.
This graphics presentation is beyond rock solid amazing!
There IS a way to stop this, but that means arming up
Apparently the FBI is on this thread
F the FBI, Fraudulent Bureaucrats
Somebody should contact Kari Lake to make this public
Shalom. Signed and donated. “Potato Patch” is one of my beloved Sukkot spots. I can’t imagine the damage another COUNTRY will cause mining like this. Thank you so much for this information. I will be sharing this. Blessings from יהרה in יהרשע matchless Name. Ahmein and Ahmein.
Don't sound good!
When you mess with Mother Nature, there are always consequences, one way or another. She always gets her revenge.
I don’t care which country is doing this, it would be wrong no matter who does it.
Hello Brian and meadow 🤗😘
Looking for the patition
@dyhompson I found it in the description of the video.
Do you have to be an AZ resident to sign?
@@Jj-gi2uv thank you
Unconscionable. Who in politics allowed this- and what was the payola? There's the next task...
Who do you think allows this? The current administration that cares more getting rich from their chinese backers than taking care of our country.
Maybe they should talk with Texas, get some americans and stop the work. America saw what Texas stands for, and you still want to go through it alone. We should unite and return our right as Americans. R"Lee
Hey Brian. Oh no. Whats going on?
You need Kristi Noem in Arizona! She doesn’t stand for Chinese buying up American land!
She is doing great work to protect her State and the citizens who live there. I wish we had someone with her American First priorities.
This is not good
So quiet. Where s Meadow?
Me alegra verle mas animado, saludos desde Puenteareas😊
Havre you contacted elected officials
where is the Governor? O that’s right We dont have a real Governor.
Say goodbye to good drinking water in local aquifer
The state will go ahead with it if they get their palm greased. Hold them accountable and they might hold on a No vote. As with anything anymore in the US, I see nothing being done for citizens and everything having a red carpet treatment for foreign interests. Voting is not the answer. Why? because your voice has been sold down the river. I'll sign the form, but I have little hope in any thing related to these matters. When your own taxes pay to oppress you further, you know your not first in line for any consideration.
I wonder how much Hunter and The Big Man are getting?
This has been going on for decades , foreign countries have taken advantage of American privatization and the working class suffers.
It will be interesting to see how the governor and AG treat this. The Saudis were easy targets before the last election, but Democrats seem reluctant to challenge the Chinese. The family that controls much of land usage in the Prescott area are the Fains. I wonder what their position is on it. Prescott and Prescott Valley still has a lot of gold, so I can see why the Chinese are moving in. Thousands of young Chinese men have been crossing the southern border into Arizona and I bet many will be at the mine. They can't come here on work visas, so maybe this is why they are entering illegally.
What can we do besides signing a petition?
Shocking,should not be allowed.What is wrong with our governments in the west.
Similar things happening in the UK, I think either Saudi or Chinese money is behind wanting to erect 65 large wind turbines on the moors between Hebden Bridge and Haworth. These turbines will be taller than Blackpool Tower, this is natural peat moor with birds and wild life, plus a tourist area ,Top Withins the inspiration for 'Wuthering Heights' will have a huge turbine next to it.
We fought a smaller scale development in my area about ten years ago,when they wanted to put turbines on the moors ,building on a prehistoric flint site,peat moorland and next to a local reservoir. It didn't go ahead.
Brian do we have to be in the US to sign this petition ? Would it count or be legal if we are not?
This is totally wrong. I signed the petition.
maybe Biden will supply them with electric bulldozers to strip mine with.
😂
They are basically removing material. There is zero processing being done at the site. This is no different from a rock quarry situation. It is considered low environmental impact. And I'm sure they have done the impact assessments and have the statements. They will however, have to follow reclamation laws and such recommendations, when finished.
These are facts. And because of such, the company, foreign or domestic, will be allowed to proceed and conduct business.
Everyone needs to go file for claims there. If there are small claims all over that area they cant do it.
I haven't verified yet but I'm hearing rumors that it's been ruled that certain people are going to be allowed to have guns. I'm trying to get confirmation.
