San Juan County Issues Statement Regarding Regarding Secretary Ryan Zinke’s Decision to Shrink Bears Ears

San Juan County, UT– This morning, the San Juan County Commissioners received notice that Secretary Zinke recommended the shrinking of Bears Ears and co-management with the locals. Please see their statement issued below.

 

“We have immense gratitude for the Trump Administration and especially Secretary Ryan Zinke for their thoughtful approach to this land grab issue. We have always felt and believed that Secretary Zinke listened to all sides and worked to make a decision based on facts.”

“In San Juan County, we are fighting for our future. As a people, we have so much to offer. That future was detrimentally limited when this monument was created. Secretary Zinke has restored some hope, but the battle is not over. We need you to call President Trump and tell him you support Secretary Zinke’s recommendation. With Sec. Zinke extending the comment period until July 10th, it is vital that everyone submit comments.”

“This monument designation was not about protection and preservation, the people of San Juan County have done that as stewards of the land. This monument designation was about control. By shrinking the monument, President Trump and Secretary Zinke are empowering the local people with the ability to build a diverse economy and support their families.”- San Juan County Commissioners

Hard science fiction book supports believability of end times

 Jean Harris Anderson releases ‘Elizeum Striving’

 

CRESTON, Calif. – A densely written story, Jean Harris Anderson’s “Elizeum Striving” (published by WestBow Press) is a coalescence of the good and bad dynamics of medicine, science, synthetic biology and technology – coupled with the unswerving political sanctimonious and diabolic religiosity. Anderson’s published book explains how that affair is already permanently altering the species made in God’s image.

 

In the book, the alterations of a planet aid people in imagining the needed relief from tribulations. An alien creature arrives at a time when that society has been “prepared ideally” for its rescue, when the universe is seemingly at war with the little planet, allowing the alien to lead in combat.

 

“In creating an entertaining book, I wanted my reader to enjoy it on several levels, and if the reading of it collides with an intellectual pursuit on behalf of the reader, so much the better,” Anderson says. “If it’s at a spiritually transforming stage, I pray this book will act as a true rudder, establishing Christ as the helmsman.”

 

An excerpt from the book:

“The extraterrestrial alien values the spirit nature as much as we value our flesh, and he prizes each because he transcends knowledge of those entities,” a character gushes. But we shall lose command of our individual freedoms if we forfeit our wits to another, because intelligence is more than gathering lots of data. Filtering information takes time and work to transform into wisdom. The race to control artificial intelligence has made each person a database for a search engine, and our species has mixed with machine, and we’ve become programmed without an ethical compass – without knowing it, while some in charge have motives and are involved in moral turpitude. The result? As one character laments, “We must break the very laws that make us civil.”
