If the SEC allows the creation of NACs, its Commissioners
will be party to a massive fraud designed to buy up on credit (mainly
from foreign investors) vast tracts of American land. According to
Kevin Stocklin: “The current plan by the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) [is]to create Natural Asset Companies (NACs), which would buy
up land rights throughout America. NACs would pool investors’ money
from around the world to buy the rights to public and private land in
the United States and limit its use to ‘sustainable’ endeavors.”
The NYSE is owned by the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), a business
entity founded in 2000. ICE is a front company whose real ownership is
totally opaque, with unknown controllers. Under the Tenth Amendment,
states retain the rights that the Constitution has not delegated to
the national government. The SEC, whose Commissioners have taken an
oath or affirmation to support the Constitution, has no legitimate
business in enabling a land grab by foreign or supranational (the
United Nations) entities that will override the Tenth Amendment’s
protection of states’ rights.
