12/2/2012, "DEBATE: TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THE ARGUMENT FOR COMMON GOOD,"
Rosa Koire, Democrats Against UN Agenda 21
"If you've read my book ['Behind the Green Mask,' Sept. 2011] you know that I discuss the National Park Service's intense dedication to removing Drakes Bay Oyster Company from the Point Reyes National Seashore including falsifying claims. The Oyster Company, under various ownerships, has been operating for nearly 90 years in this location, which was made a National Seashore about 30 years ago. They farm sustainably, are local, and family-owned. Drakes Bay Oyster Company had a long term lease with the National Park Service---which expired two days ago. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar decided not to renew the lease. This political drama has played out on the national stage as more and more people recognize UN Agenda 21 when they see it.
I've been a member of a local gay women's email list for about 15 years and am often at odds with Communitarians posting on it. Over the past few weeks I responded to women who were urging others to sign an online petition to get Drakes Bay Oyster Company out of the bay to 'save the bay.' We fought it out online.
Here's the exchange (I'm blue and they're green):
The petition to save the estuary, and end the commercial oyster farm, is at: http://www.change.org/organizations/turtle_island_restoration_network_2 Time to return this area, so close to SF, to most wilderness possible. There are other places to buy oysters.
Drakes Bay Oyster Company produces
40% of the oysters consumed in California. I'm sure you see yourself as
protecting the environment, but you are being misled. From my book
BEHIND THE GREEN MASK: UN Agenda 21;...There’s a problem there, as you can
see. The Drake’s Bay Oyster Company has been at that location for seven
decades, about three decades more than the National Seashore has been
in existence. The area is now a ‘potential designated
wilderness’ so the Park Service wanted to do its inventory and see if it
could further restrict uses to ‘visitors who do not remain.’ If they
could remove all permanent improvements in the National Seashore they’d
be able to change the status to ‘designated wilderness.’
To that end they planted a surveillance camera on the bay and recorded the movements of the employees of the oyster farm hoping to find violations. Although they recorded more than 250,000 images none of them showed damage to the harbor seals or the environment. So what did the Park Service do?
They hid that information so that they could say that the oyster farm was a threat to the environment and should lose their lease. The San Francisco Chronicle newspaper reported on March 24, 2011 that:...

"The Interior Department's office of the solicitor released a report Tuesday outlining what it termed biased, improper, mistake-ridden work by scientists. But it concluded that the behavior did not rise to the level of intentional "scientific misconduct" - and that nothing criminal occurred.
The
headline called it a “mistake” but it wasn’t, was it? It was
deliberate, and it was done in order to declare an area ‘wilderness.’
Untrammeled. Primeval. Primitive. Wildlands.
