Quasi-finished dig from a few weeks ago regarding World Bank and it's ownership of 34% of the planet's resources.

World Bank goes hand-in-hand with UNESCO and the World Heritage Fund. When a nation lists a resource as a world heritage site, they essentially give up all sovereignty by (indirectly) binding themselves to international treaties and agreements (ratified or not once they have signed an international treaty with the UN to participate). For example, the U.S. never ratified the UN's Biodiversity Treaty but since we participate in UNESCO, our State Dept (in 1994) published a "Strategic Plan for the U.S. Biosphere Reserve Program" which was taken directly from the Biodiversity Treaty.

UNESCO collaborates with the U.S. Park Service and its policies are tied to the Administration's Sustainable Development program (a massive federal zoning program that dictates property development at the local level). Basically, it's locking down huge chunks of our land from development (remember BO trying to designate millions of acres of new parks before leaving office?).

Once a UN designation is made on a historic site, private property rights DO NOT EXIST within or in the "buffer zone." Example: Yellowstone National Park. UNESCO created a 150 mile border around the park to prevent a gold mine from being developed.

Roughly 68% of our national parks belong to UNESCO and include:

–Mesa Verde National Park

–Yellowstone National Park

–San Antonio Missions

–Waterton-Glacial International Peace Park (shared with Canada)

–Kluane/Wrangell- St Elias/Glacier Bay/Tatshenshini-Alsek (shared with Canada)

–Grand Canyon National Park

–Everglades National Park

–Independence Hall

–Redwood National AND State Parks

–Mammoth Cave National Park

–Olympic National Park

–Cahokia

–Great Smoky Mountains National Park

–La Fortaleza and San Juan National Historic Site

–Statue of Liberty

–Yosemite National Park

–Chaco Culture National Historical Park

–Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

–Monticello and the University of Virgina (how does THAT work for taxes?)

–Taos Pueblo

–Carlsbad Caverns National Park

–Papahanaumokuakea

–Monumental Earthworks of Poverty Point

The list for adding more of our historical sites is just as long.
