Unsurprisingly, the Boise National Forest Facebook page has blocked people from commenting or even liking their page.
Even though comments were respectful, although non-praising of the Forest Service, people making them are banned simply for disagreeing with the Forest Service propaganda machine.

Official Facebook page for the Boise National Forest has banned myself and others from "liking", commenting or discussing anything on their page. Fitting for a public entity where rangers like Sue Dixon openly state that "NEPA is not a democracy".
The Forest Service recently lost lawsuits in federal court for excluding Valley County and other affected members of the public from what NEPA and other federal laws require to be a "public process".
In the business of ideas and open discussion, it appears that the Forest Service knows they will lose. Which is why they hold public scoping meetings 150 miles away from project areas.
Tyranny has to be done in secrecy, at least at first. Wouldn't want the peasants to find out what the Forest Service is up to and start talking amongst themselves.
The USFS must respect the 1872 Mining Act...It's a crime to interfere with a federal mining claim.
