Our guest is Debbie Coffey, V.P. Wild horse freedom Federation. She and the Federation have led the efforts to save our wild horses and burros from being managed into extinction by the Bureau of Land Management operating under the Department of Interior. Now, having been exposed numerous times for violating standing laws and environmental standards and protections, the DOI wants to purge its records so that no paper trail survives that would expose the corruption. This would include digital records.

Debbie has filed over a hundred FOIAs and knows the ins and outs of successful requests for information. But! with the Interior Department now attempting to get authorization to destroy large swaths of records and documents, much of it to be destroyed within a year of creation, the access to information by the public will be seriously impaired.
Many of these records pertain to gas, oil, water, mining and fracking. Many of these documents detail the abuse of public lands, the violation of certain laws and provisions that are meant to protect public lands from exploitation and the zeroing out of wild horses and burros.

Cattle vs. Wild Horses (2002-2018). All data BLM.
Posted on October 9, 2018 by Vickery Eckhoff /
About 15,000 individuals and corporate entities hold public-lands grazing permits.
The top 1% of them — only some 152 permittees — hold interests in an astonishing expanse, about a third of the total BLM grazing land area: some seventy-seven thousand square MILES.
The next 5 percent of them hold about the next third of the total land area.
The bottom 94 percent — about 14,000 permittees — account for only the final third of the BLM’s public grazing lands.
The identities of the permittees are sometimes obscured by corporate names, but data provided by the BLM shows that the folks leasing great swaths of public land to graze their cattle and enjoy enormous government subsidies include both people and corporations on Forbes “Billionaires” and “Richest Americans” lists (see p. 138 or click here).
Conclusion:
When advocates claim that livestock outnumbers and out-grazes wild horses on public lands, this is not an emotional argument or an opinion. It is an argument based on the above data from the BLM and other government sources — data that the BLM doesn’t make available to the public and media, because it doesn’t want them to know…about the cattle, their owners, the damage they cause, and the massive subsidies they are taking from average Americans.

There’s plenty of room in Utah to store all government documents

Don’t forget about this facility.
UTAH DATA CENTER
The spring air in the small, sand-dusted town has a soft haze to it, and clumps of green-gray sagebrush rustle in the breeze. Bluffdale sits in a bowl-shaped valley in the shadow of Utah’s Wasatch Range to the east and the Oquirrh Mountains to the west.
The NSA has become the largest, most covert, and potentially most intrusive intelligence agency ever.
Under construction by contractors with top-secret clearances, the blandly named Utah Data Center is being built for the National Security Agency. A project of immense secrecy, it is the final piece in a complex puzzle assembled over the past decade. Its purpose: to intercept, decipher, analyze, and store vast swaths of the world’s communications as they zap down from satellites and zip through the underground and undersea cables of international, foreign, and domestic networks. The heavily fortified $2 billion center should be up and running in September 2013. Flowing through its servers and routers and stored in near-bottomless databases will be all forms of communication, including the complete contents of private emails, cell phone calls, and Google searches, as well as all sorts of personal data trails—parking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases, and other digital “pocket litter.” It is, in some measure, the realization of the “total information awareness” program created during the first term of the Bush administration—an effort that was killed by Congress in 2003 after it caused an outcry over its potential for invading Americans’ privacy.
