Or: He is scheming, perhaps with the United Nations, to create a vast wildlife refuge and turn it over to the U.S. government, removing the land from Nebraska's tax rolls. That could hurt Nebraska schools and other services, which are already starved for cash.

He is creating a refuge, and will then hand it over to the government? ? ? ?


And then they say:
Actually, Turner's spokesmen say, the driving force behind Turner's land purchases is the desire to make money. Turner's Vermejo Park Ranch in New Mexico, for example, offers weeklong elk hunting excursions at $12,000 per person. He has also entered the restaurant business with gusto, opening more than 50 Ted's Montana Grill restaurants across the country that feature bison meat.


Bison. It's what's for dinner.


Thanks for this one. I love conspiracy theories, and this one is ripe full o' them. Love it.

Thats pretty crazy, I wish I had the money to buy land, the best investment there is. But I wouldnt have some evil plan, he should be adding jobs to these communities? He must have ranch hands and what not.

when I was a kid I asked my dad when he started to see in color, I assumed that he only saw in black in white like all the old shows,lol I will never live that one down, lol
