DEPEOPLING AMERICA by Jim Beers

8/19/05

There is no greater example of the mortal dangers posed by the environmental extremists and animal rights radicals in our midst than the following front-page article in the 18 August 2005 Washington Times.

The years of dumbing-down our children and desensitizing us to the value of human life and the steady eradication of the liberties, freedoms, and rights that were the hallmark of this great nation have come down to this. This next step in the dehumanizing and paganizing of American society should serve as a wake-up call to all Americans. Unless and until we understand what is occurring, we cannot begin to take the increasingly radical countermeasures necessary to offset this increasingly evil and injurious agenda growing all around us. I believe that after you read this, your blood will boil as mine has ever since I read this article this morning. It is so deeply disappointing that the newspaper treats this not only non-judgmentally, but also in a humorous and even frivolous manner. This is a truly deadly serious matter and one that clearly indicates the revolutionary transformation throughout this nation that must be stopped. I will quote from the article sequentially with comments on each quote and a summary at the end.

1.)TITLE:

LIONS ON THE PLAINS WOULD ALTER ORDER OF THE FOOD CHAIN

“ ‘Rewilding’ of Mid-America”Comment: Lions loose anywhere in the US would cause catastrophic impacts. Altering the “order of the food chain”

would not even be on the screen with the deaths, injuries, and property loss and destruction they would wreak.

2.) “DENVER—Lions in your back yard? Elephants in the driveway? Cheetahs on the terrace?”

Comment:

Think hard about this. They really mean it. We accepted wolves destroying families, ranches, hunting, etc. and we have looked away as cougars and bears kill and maim in our towns and cities and we have smirked at hunting as a control on the numbers and distribution of predators and we have outlawed dogs and traps to take predators.

Now comes the next step that these radicals always knew would come and that none of us would accept as possible. Like the fate of western ranchers or elk hunters destroyed by wolves, these power-brokers depend on urbanites and the well-to-do to smile and think how “cool” that would be and how they could enjoy it without being near it (for awhile at least). The annual loss of human life, human injuries and property destruction in Africa to elephants and crocodiles and lions and leopards and other dangerous animals is startling and never spoken. To propose transferring that to the US, like fostering it’s continuation in Africa (through UN policies) is not only tragic, it is unconscionable.

3.) “Josh Donlan, a graduate student at Cornell University and one of the plan’s co-authors, concedes that skeptics may worry more about the people on the Great Plains who could become extinct at the mercy of the lions.”

Comment:

Cornell University - one of the “secret” partners of the “secret” US Fish and Wildlife Service operations for nearly two years to get money and set the stage for massive land control in the southern US for (an?) Ivory-billed Woodpecker whose existence or origin cannot and was not and is not verified as this is written.

How cute, he “concedes that skeptics may worry more about the people on the Great Plains who could become extinct at the mercy of the lions.” Reread that, think of what he is dismissing in so cavalier a tone. This is the drivel that drives the UN, US federal, and increasingly state bureaucrats.

This is what the US politicians increasingly support with our tax dollars and the Universities enable with their lies and propaganda (today’s misnamed “sound science”).

This is pagan animal worship that equates each of us to any animal and is a means of placing our sovereignty and freedom in the hands of dictatorships every bit as callous and self-serving as the worst in history.

4.) “Obviously, gaining public acceptance is going to be a huge issue, especially when you talk about reintroducing predators. There are going to have to be some major attitude shifts. That includes realizing predation is a natural role, and that people are going to have to take precautions.”

Comment:

Again read that carefully. Not just your steer or your sheep or your golden retriever: your child, your mother, your grandfather, your wife - all are fair game to offer up on the altar to the deity called here the “natural role”.

5.) “Nevertheless, the scientists say the relocated animals could restore biodiversity on this continent to a condition closer to what nature was like before humans overran the landscape.”

Comment:

If “relocated animals could restore biodiversity” how come every professor, bureaucrat, politician, and radical (as my dear mother used to quip) “from hell to breakfast” has been wailing and gnashing their teeth for years about INVASIVE SPECIES? (They admit some of these species NEVER occurred in North America.)

I thought all Invasive Species DECREASED BIODIVERSITY (so say the news releases, propaganda, and “studies”)? Isn’t our “Native Ecosystem” was “…a fixed and sacred thing?”

If the elites can just bring whatever they want and release them, how does that differ from introducing fish and birds and plants we want and use?

“Before humans overran the landscape”? What self-hate and self-loathing for humanity is contained in that statement. But, of course, “they” don’t think of themselves in that context.

You and I will be forced from our land but “they” (the bureaucrats and enviro radicals and professors) will live there and appear on the nature programs in khakis and wide-brimmed hats. What is good for the gooses (bureaucrats, professors, enviro-radicals) is obviously not good for the ganders (hunters, ranchers, farmers, hikers, off-roaders pet owners, fishermen, loggers, campers the list goes--on and on. )

6.) “The idea of “rewilding” the Great Plains grew from a retreat at Ladder Ranch near Truth or Consequences, N.M., a 155,550-acre spread owned by media mogul and conservationist Ted Turner.”

Comment:

Mr. Turner is synonymous with the UN. His record of using illegal fences on his properties and offering expensive hunting opportunities while working with federal bureaucrats to implement things like wolf programs that decimate hunting opportunities for middle-class Americans on public lands is legend.

State government acquiescence to him and his power and his employees is also legend. The fact that high mortality of women and kids in Africa from unmanaged elephants and crocodiles and hippos and lions could be duplicated in the US poses no threat to the Turners of the world and their minions from Washington to the Statehouses.

I am not one of his minions nor should you be.

7.) “While most modern African species never lived on the American prairie, the scientists believe that today’s animals could duplicate the natural roles played by their departed, even larger cousins—mastodons, camels and saber-toothed cats—that roamed for more than 1 million years alongside antelope and bison.”

Comment:

Q.When is something an invasive species?

A.When those “in charge” say so.

Earth to every one of you bozos (I apologize for the personal invective but 35 years of obsequiousness got us here and the time for digging in our heels is long past) involved in this madness.

“Today’s animals” and today’s “natural roles” in the United States of America are what each state government and the voters who put them there say it will be.

Cornfields, woodlots, towns, families, hunting, fishing, scout troops, gardens et al are what we have built and wherein we live. Your arrogant notions and pernicious plans are every bit as repugnant as anything that Hitler or Stalin ever came up with. Your view of other humans, be they African children or rural Americans, differs from Hitler’s race policies only in the magnitude of the death rates and property loss you so blithely propose.

The difference between starving millions in the Ukraine (Stalin in the early 30’s) or working people to death in Siberian Gulags and releasing animals to trample, kill, and maim is again only one of immediate magnitude. How can this be reported so nonchalantly?

8.) “Relocating large animals to vast ecological parks and private reserves over the next century would begin to restore the balance and offer new ecotourism opportunities.”

Comment:

There is no such thing as “balance”. It never existed, it cannot exist, and it cannot be “restored”.

Every environment has been in a state of constant change from the beginning of time. Ask yourself how these “introduced invasive species” can create “balance” but the species that arrived here in the past 200 years only wreak havoc?

Ecotourism?

Ask the ruined logger-families and communities in spotted owl country about “ecotourism”. Ask the rural Arkansas restaurants “selling T-shirts” in Ivory-bill country. Look to Africa where this ecotourism shift is cause for worry about losing their “ecotourists”.

The best thing that could happen to Africa and Africans is the same thing that the constantly-vilified Europeans did to North America—cleared the land, rearranged the plants and animals, planted crops and families and communities and businesses and guaranteed rights and freedoms FOR ALL under a truly elected government with defined and limited responsibilities and competing branches of government. All of this, by the way, is exactly what Ted Turner, the UN, and this gang of bozos intend to crush with their socialist agendas.

9.) “Some ecologists said it is important to try such a bold plan. Otherwise, they said, hundreds more species are likely to go extinct in coming decades and entire ecosystems—such as grasslands—will fundamentally change.”

Comment:

Ecologists live in a bizarre world with no boundaries. They have become the fringe element of the study of biology. Biology has become an art (as opposed a science) when compared to chemistry and physics where true “rules” exist, are studied, and result in “real” ( as opposed contrived) consequences.

That “hundreds of species going extinct” stuff worked 35 years ago in the environmental stampede for legislation when Nixon was President. If it works again after the history of the past 35 years, we will have proved Abraham Lincoln a fool as this would show you can “fool all of the people all of the time”.

Grasslands changed during the Ice Age when Asians arrived, when Europeans arrived, when dust storms and drought and locusts arrived and ravaged the Great Plains in the 30’s, when fires roared unchecked, when the price of beef went up or down and soybeans become valuable for more than fertilizer.

All of this changed America’s grasslands. And we all adapted and benefited from this by our ability to change and move and respond. It is exactly this freedom this gang of elitist radicals proposes to take away America’s people with total disregard for our Constitution and the sacrifices and blood of men infinitely better and greater and smarter than they should ever hope to be.

They are, simply modern day Caligula’s experimenting with humans.

10.) “Other conservationists say the plan would further damage the prospects of African species on their native turf, as well as that continent’s hopes for sustainable economic development.”

Comment:

Once again a lie that is exactly 180 degrees out from the truth. Possibly the only good that would come from this madness is that Africans would be forced to rethink their peonage to the UN, Western do-gooders, and radical organizations. If they but come to realize that “sustainable economic development” is exactly what the US has had for 225+ years because we did exactly the opposite of this no-management/no-use/nature worship BS; then by golly good for the Africans and I can only wish them well and offer them help in achieving what we have (minus this idiocy and the attendant cultural decline).

11.) “The extent of Mr. Turner’s interest in the larger rewilding plan is not clear. Mike Phillips, who directs the Turner Endangered Species Fund, was unavailable for comment.”

Comment:

And the reason is: this is a trial balloon. If it bombs, Ted and his gang do a double arabesque and exit stage right to come back on in a later version, like reeducation camps for rural Americans that do not sell to him or TNC or the government and move into a city and sell their vehicles and only take public transportation or ride a bicycle between their jobs and their apartment.

12.) “The renewed presence of many large mammals might turn back the ecological clock in a variety of subtle ways. For example, elephants eat woody plants that have overtaken grasslands. Could they act as Rototillers to restore the prairie?”

Comment:

Is there anyone out there who does not see the immediate absurdity and propaganda nonsense nature of this paltry attempt at humor? If so, e-mail me and I will explain it to you.

13.) Lastly, our Cornell graduate student leaves us with these brilliant closing lines: “Lions would be a harder sell, particularly to the elk herds that already live there. “Lions eat people,” Mr. Donlan, the Cornell graduate student, says. “There has to be a pretty serious attitude shift on how you view predators.”

Comment:

A.) For the uninitiated, there are very few elk on the Great Plains. And we don’t “sell” them, we shoot and eat them.

B.) If a Cornell person can speak a truism (“Lions eat people”) there must be some old holdover professor from before the “Universities as ladies-of -the-evening” epoch began. They better find him or her and get rid of them quick. There is no telling where this could lead.

C.) Mr. Donlan is very mistaken and very misleading. It is not our view of predators that must be shifted; it is our VIEW OF MAN that must be shifted and for that relying on the Ted Turners and Cornells and the UN and federal bureaucrats and enviro-radicals is like relying on fortune tellers for theological guidance.

SUMMARY

It’s all here. No states role. They and the Constitution are swept aside for the federal and UN bureaucracies and the radicals that underpin such programs today. These programs include:

·

Invasive Species whining of the last decade and all the Federal legislative proposals from both the Clinton and Bush bureaucrats about “Invasive Species” are shown to be the hollow lies by elites that many of us always said they were.

· Callous disregard for human life that began with wolves and then bears and mountain lions has always underpinned this whole pagan nature worship philosophy masquerading as some sort of “biology” is now there for all to see. It is and always has been about using government to generate power, money, and destruction of the US as we have known it.

· Elites fronted for by “ecologists” and a long litany of fellow travelers implementing a radical socialist agenda on the citizens of this nation.

· Bureaucrats, politicians, professors, radicals, and others will all benefit from vacating rural America, eliminating the freedoms of Americans, and destroying American society from guaranteed property rights to the concept at the beginning of our Constitution that government was founded by us to “insure domestic Tranquility”.

What to do?

Recall or turnout or work against any politician that even wavers if you ask him or her their position on this. Do not vote for anyone that is even remotely evasive about this topic. Start pushing state and federal politicians to rein in these public bureaucrats that enable this stuff. Force politicians to reform acts like Endangered Species, Marine Mammals, Wilderness, and Animal Welfare.

Boycott any business or hotel that even remotely supports this business. If you don’t see the connection here between all these things, you belong on the moon.

Get your state politicians to realize that the time to overhaul the universities is WAY overdue. New staffs and tenure elimination are places to start; no matter the cost, it is worth it.

Grade school and high school curriculums need to be overhauled no matter what the NEA or radicals say.

Come down on US delegations to the UN and make sure American freedoms are their first concern and that treaties are only an option when we are “in extremis” and no other option is available.

Reduce federal grants to universities and states for this entire range of environmental/animal business.

Look hard at the US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, EPA, National Marine Fisheries Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and National Park Service regarding their size, their budget, their power, their policies, the lands they control, and what can be done to eliminate their support, both open and hidden, for proposals such as this DEPEOPLING AMERICA.

These are some of the things we need to start doing.

“Rewilding” is a term meant to mislead and a proposal that clearly displays all of the lies and propaganda we have been fed over the past three decades.

It is a mortal threat to us all.

Thanks for hanging in on this and please think hard about what you can do and start doing it.
