THERE ARE NO PUBLIC LANDS IN THE U.S.

As you read the following article, please know there are NO "public" lands in the U.S. 
Aaron Weiss said, "Secretary Zinke has made it clear who he is listening to - and that is oil and gas and uranium companies." 
My question to Aaron is "Why not?" After all, "federal" lands are "split estates" with gas/oil/mineral rights. 
There are also Range Allotments on Federal Lands. 
To my knowledge, never once has National Park System Advisory Board "advised" the "public" about Federal lands and split estates.
Groups including Weiss's Center for Western Priorities, and agencies including the USDA and DOI have failed to educate the "public" regarding these "valid-pre-existing rights." 
Their failures have brought significant harm to rights owners! 
President Trump and Secretary Zinke are sorting and sifting through the humongous piles of inaccurate propaganda, in effort to protect the "real" property rights owners.
