The courts have sanctioned the right to organize community opposition that urges government officials and agencies to deny land use permits to applicants, even when the underlying motive of the opposition is protecting market share and eliminating competition.
What’s more, the courts are protecting third-party funding sources, in many cases anonymous funding sources, which support the opposition efforts in order to block potential competition.

Chris Turney, a professor of climate change at Australia’s University of New South Wales, said it was “silly” to suggest he and 73 others aboard the MV Akademic Shokalskiy were trapped in ice they’d sought to prove had melted.
Turney is a scientist who wants everyone to believe the Antarctic is melting away. The ship was not an icebreaker, it is only ice reinforced for a light ice. His family family and tourists were on the ship because they weren’t expecting to be trapped in ice.
What is your evidence?
