The story of a chimpanzee taken from its mother at birth and raised like a human child by a family in a brownstone on the upper West Side in the 1970s.
From the Oscar-winning team behind MAN ON WIRE comes the story of Nim, the chimpanzee who in the 1970s became the focus of a landmark experiment which aimed to show that an ape could learn to communicate with language if raised and nurtured like a human child.
Following Nim’s extraordinary journey through human society, and the enduring impact he makes on the people he meets along the way, the film is an unflinching and unsentimental biography of an animal we tried to make human.
Nim Chimpsky died in 2000 of a heart attack at age 27.

The WHO also lists a number of potential harms and risks of mask wearing, which “should be carefully taken into account when adopting this approach of targeted continuous medical mask use.” These include:14
Self-contamination due to the manipulation of the mask by contaminated hands or not changing the mask when wet, soiled or damaged
General discomfort, as well as facial skin lesions, irritant dermatitis or worsening acne
False sense of security that may reduce adherence to other well recognized preventive measures such as hand hygiene
Disadvantages for or difficulty wearing them by specific vulnerable populations such as those with mental health disorders, developmental disabilities, the deaf and hard of hearing community, and children
Difficulty wearing them in hot and humid environments
Aside from these, several people have demonstrated that masks can rapidly result in the buildup of toxic carbon dioxide, which can have a markedly detrimental impact on health.
In one video, a science teacher tried to evade YouTube censorship by saying children should wear face masks to school — all while holding up handwritten signs informing viewers the tactic was for censorship evasion, and to pay attention to the carbon dioxide metering results, which show carbon dioxide levels behind the mask shoot up above 10,000 parts per million (ppm) after just 10 breaths.
After garnering several hundred thousand views, the video was removed for “violating YouTube community guidelines.”
Del Bigtree of The Highwire has performed an identical demonstration15 (see bitchute video below). With an N95 mask on, the carbon dioxide level spikes above 8,480 ppm within seconds. Above 5,000 ppm, OSHA warns that “toxicity or oxygen deprivation could occur.”https://www.bitchute.com/embed/ypLjmXQoLygi/
Carbon dioxide levels between 2,000 ppm and 5,000 ppm are associated with headaches, sleepiness, poor concentration, loss of attention, increased heart rate and slight nausea. The maximum permissible daily exposure limit is 5,000 ppm.
Wearing a standard surgical mask, carbon dioxide levels again reached above 8,000 ppm, although it took longer. Shockingly, wearing a cloth bandana resulted in carbon dioxide buildup near the nose and mouth exceeding 8,000 ppm.
Even wearing a clear plastic face shield (without a mask) resulted in carbon dioxide levels in the 1,500-ppm range, which is associated with drowsiness and poor air quality. The video at the top of this section also addresses many of the potential harms and risks of masks wearing.
Toxic ingredients that can worsen breathing problems are yet another potential hazard of certain masks. For example, surgical masks are made of plastics like polypropylene, a known asthma trigger.16
The 2018 study,17,18 “Hypoxia Downregulates Protein S Expression,” also describes how hypoxia (low oxygen concentration) increases your risk of blood clots by reducing protein S, which is a natural anticoagulant. Wearing a mask, especially for long periods of time, may reduce your oxygen concentration, and considering COVID-19 is already associated with abnormal blood clotting, inducing hypoxia may be ill advised.
PPE Waste Is Becoming an Environmental Hazard
Last but not least, environmentalists are now warning that personal protective equipment (PPE) such as medical face masks may turn into a devastating environmental problem. As reported by The Guardian, June 8, 2020:19
“The French non-profit Opération Mer Propre, whose activities include regularly picking up litter along the Côte d’Azur, began sounding the alarm late last month.
Divers had found what Joffrey Peltier of the organization described as ‘COVID waste’ — dozens of gloves, masks and bottles of hand sanitizer beneath the waves of the Mediterranean, mixed in with the usual litter of disposable cups and aluminum cans … ‘It’s the promise of pollution to come if nothing is done,’ said Peltier.
In France alone, authorities have ordered two billion disposable masks, said Laurent Lombard of Opération Mer Propre. ‘Knowing that … soon we’ll run the risk of having more masks than jellyfish in the Mediterranean,’ he wrote on social media alongside video of a dive showing algae-entangled masks and soiled gloves in the sea near Antibes.
A policy review paper9 published in Emerging Infectious Diseases in May 2020 — the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s own journal — has also reviewed “the evidence base on the effectiveness of nonpharmaceutical personal protective measures … in non-healthcare settings,” and they too found no evidence of benefit:
“Although mechanistic studies support the potential effect of hand hygiene or face masks, evidence from 14 randomized controlled trials of these measures did not support a substantial effect on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.”
Pages 970 to 972 of the review include the following quotes:10
“In our systematic review, we identified 10 RCTs [randomized controlled trials] that reported estimates of the effectiveness of face masks in reducing laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infections in the community from literature published during 1946–July 27, 2018. In pooled analysis, we found no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks …
Disposable medical masks (also known as surgical masks) are loose-fitting devices that were designed to be worn by medical personnel to protect accidental contamination of patient wounds, and to protect the wearer against splashes or sprays of bodily fluids …
There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing influenza virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure.
Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza … In this review, we did not find evidence to support a protective effect of personal protective measures or environmental measures in reducing influenza transmission.”
These Mistakes Undermine the Protection Masks May Provide
If and when you do use a mask, you have to follow proper protocols, or else you can nullify what little protection they do offer against potentially infectious respiratory droplets. As detailed in WHO’s guidance memo, you need to make sure your medical mask is:11
Changed when wet, soiled or damaged
Untouched. Do not adjust or displace it from your face for any reason. “If this happens, the mask should be safely removed and replaced; and hand hygiene performed”
Discarded and changed after caring for any patient on contact/droplet precautions for other pathogens
The memo also points out that “Staff who do not work in clinical areas do not need to use a medical mask during routine activities (e.g., administrative staff).” Now, if administrative hospital staff do not need to wear masks, why would healthy individuals need to wear them when walking around, especially in open-air areas?
Broward county, Florida, has gone so far as to issue an emergency order12 mandating masks to be worn inside your own residence. But why, if administrative hospital staff aren’t even advised to wear them at work?
In summary, it is likely that masks are not entirely useless in all circumstances. However, the literature rather strongly suggests the usefulness of masks depends on a significant number of factors — type, fit, length of use, purpose and circumstances — which are effectively impossible to account for in public universal-masking policies.
The science, contrary to the ignorant platitudes we are bombarded with, has NOT proven that universal masking is effective for viral containment, and has instead provided substantial grounds for skepticism of such a policy.
Benefits of Mask Wearing Do Not Include Infection Control
Despite the lack of scientific evidence showing masks do much of anything to prevent the spread of viral infections, the WHO still manages to make a case for universal mask wearing. The “potential benefits” listed, however, have little to do with health, and much more to do with learning submission. According to the WHO, potential benefits of mask wearing include:13
•”Reduced potential stigmatization of individuals wearing masks to prevent infecting others or of people caring for COVID-19 patients in nonclinical settings” — In other words, we should all wear masks to make people caring for COVID-19 patients feel more accepted, as if that’s actually a significant problem.
•”Making people feel they can play a role in contributing to stopping spread of the virus” — I.e., masks, while providing a false sense of security, make people feel like they’re “doing something” to help. Put another way, it makes people feel virtuous and “good.”
•”Reminding people to be compliant with other measures” — In other words, mask wearing is a sign of overall compliance.
•”Potential social and economic benefits” — This is perhaps the most ludicrously strained reason of all. According to the WHO:
“Encouraging the public to create their own fabric masks may promote individual enterprise and community integration … The production of non-medical masks may offer a source of income for those able to manufacture masks within their communities. Fabric masks can also be a form of cultural expression, encouraging public acceptance of protection measures in general.”
According to the World Health Organization’s June 5, 2020, guidance on face mask use, there’s no direct evidence that universal masking of healthy people is an effective intervention against respiratory illnesses
While masks do not prevent the spread of viral infections, the WHO still makes a case for universal mask-wearing, citing benefits such as reduced stigmatization of people caring for COVID-19 patients in nonclinical settings, making people feel like they’re doing something to help, serving as a reminder to be compliant with other measures, and economic benefits for people who can sew homemade masks
Despite the fact that cloth masks are far less effective for blocking potentially infectious respiratory droplets, the WHO recommends cloth masks should be worn by infected persons in community settings
A policy review paper published in the CDC’s journal Emerging Infectious Diseases found that masks did not protect against influenza in non-healthcare settings
Harms and risks of mask-wearing include health effects associated with poor air quality and toxic ingredients in the mask, self-contamination caused by manipulation of the mask by contaminated hands, general discomfort, facial skin lesions, irritant dermatitis or worsening acne, and a false sense of security that may reduce adherence to other preventive measures such as hand hygiene
According to the director general of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, life will not be returning to your old normal anytime soon. What’s more, things will only get worse unless the public follow health advice such as wearing masks and social distancing. The somber announcement came during a July 13, 2020, press conference (above).
This, despite the fact that the WHO’s June 5, 2020, guidance memo1 on face mask use states there’s no direct evidence that universal masking of healthy people is an effective intervention against respiratory illnesses.
What’s more, people are being urged to use cloth masks or bandanas (ostensibly to prevent shortages among health care staff), none of which conform to any kind of quality standards, and according to what little scientific evidence is available have been shown to provide only about half of what little protection you may get from a surgical mask.
No Direct Evidence to Support Universal Mask Usage
In August of 2018 the Bureau of Land Management began a roundup in the Red Desert Complex of Wyoming. The Herd Management Areas in the Complex are Green Mountain, Stewart Creek, Lost Creek, Crooks Mountain and Antelope Hills. They were planning to remove 2670 wild horses in total, and the last roundup had been in 2011. The BLM stopped about halfway through on August 17 because they had nowhere else to put the rest of the horses they proposed to remove. So 1444 wild horses were rounded up, 25 were released back into Green Mountain including 12 mares who were given PZP birth control. The bulk of the horses removed were from Green Mountain, with about 300 from Stewart Creek. Ten wild horses died during this roundup, including some foals who were literally run to death in the heat.
Bachelor Stallions
Now the Bureau of Land Management is planning to continue this roundup. Because it was paused they do not need to do any more Environmental Assessment, any more public comment. They can just start at their convenience, which turns out to be some time in October of this year. They plan to remove over 1000 wild horses – likely over 1500.
Just to state the obvious, come on people, wake up, there is a Pandemic! You are going to ignore that and pretend that chasing wild horses with a helicopter and separating them from their families and homes, killing some, sending most of them to be warehoused for the rest of their lives in a feedlot situation for millions of taxpayer dollars is a priority? Surely millions of dollars being squandered in wild horse roundups happening now in Utah and Nevada and soon in Wyoming could be better used helping people who are at risk people who are losing their jobs, their homes and their lives?
Apollo, Hera and their new colt
Of course, our government will say this money has been allocated to remove the horses. Yes and that is a problem – it is not a priority! These horses who are on public lands currently are not posing a threat to anything except the cattle ranchers’ greed to put more and more livestock on our public lands. And surely it has occurred to someone that what a great time to remove these horses – when most people are staying at home and trying to stay safe.
The rule only apply to you, not the elites who rule you. At least that’s the message conveyed in Wisconsin Governor Tony Ever’s statewide mask mandate. The new mask mandate, aimed at lowering the transmission of COVID-19, applies to everyone in the state, except politicians.
All state facilities or government offices that fall under Wisconsin State Legislature and Wisconsin Supreme Court, are exempt from the order.
In section 4 of the mandate, a clarification reads, “State facilities or offices under the control of the Wisconsin State Legislature or the Wisconsin Supreme Court are exempt from this Order. The Wisconsin State Legislature and the Wisconsin Supreme Court may establish guidelines for face coverings that are consistent with the specific needs of their respective branches of government.”
The order is set to end on September 28th.
Wisconsin’s COVID-19 testing has been nothing short of a complete debacle. According to local Fox affiliate, there’s a 17,000 negative case backlog. The same article cites two different people claiming to have gotten both positive and negative results in the same day.
Join Coz & I this evening as Luanne Flemming, attorney Leslie Ferderigos. Hillary Hogue and Jan Garwood join the show to expose a major case of guardianship corruption in Florida.
Jan Garwood is in a locked facility under a fraudulent guardianship in Longwood, Seminole Florida, and is now represented by attorney, Leslie Ferderigos.
Garwood, who was the owner of a large estate, was forcibly abducted under a fraudulent 2019 Baker Act petition. The Baker Act, allows for total strangers (in this case a predator guardian) to claim the targeted victim is mentally unstable for various reasons. Once captured under this court action, Garwood was forced into a memory care unit and locked down. No visitors. Not allowed outside of the facility.
Initially guardianzed May 31, 2017 by the infamous Rebecca Fierle, a notorious predator guardian, Fierle’s protoge’ Denise Willis has assumed the guardianship and initiated the Baker Act action in January 2019 when Jan started asking questions. Until then she had been “allowed” to stay in her own home. The initiation of the Baker Act against Jan was to shut her up.
In April 2019, they seized Jan’s car. In the interim, family heirlooms, antiques, jewelry and other valuable personal items just simply disappeared.
Jan has only seen her new owner once. She has never been diagnosed with memory issues and is quite lucid and articulate.
Memo: Are you concerned with the shift away from cash or does it seem like no big deal? I don’t think enough people realize the pitfalls of this. I hope you will read Dave Ramsey’s comments. It’s a two minute read and it can’t be explained a whole lot better than this.

HERE’S WHAT NO CASH ACTUALLY MEANS:
A cashless society means no cash. Zero. It doesn’t mean mostly cashless and you can still use a ‘wee bit of cash here and there’. Cashless means fully digital, fully traceable, fully controlled. I think those who support a cashless society aren’t fully aware of what they are asking for. A cashless society means:
What a cashless society does guarantee:
* Banks have full control of every single penny you own.
* Every transaction you make is recorded.
* All your movements and actions are traceable.
* Access to your money can be blocked at the click of a button when/if banks need ‘clarification’ from you which will take about 3 weeks, a thousand questions answered and five thousand passwords.
* You will have no choice but to declare and be taxed on every dollar in your possession.
* The government WILL decide what you can and cannot purchase.
* If your transactions are deemed in any way questionable, by those who create the questions, your money will be frozen, ‘for your own good’.
Forget about cash being dirty. Stop being so easily led. Cash has been around for a very, very, very long time and it gives you control over how you trade with the world. It gives you independence. I heard a story where a man supposedly contracted Covid because of a $20 bill he had handled. There is the same chance of Covid being on a card as being on cash. If you cannot see how utterly ridiculous this assumption is then there is little hope.
If you are a customer, pay with cash. If you are a shop owner, remove those ridiculous signs that ask people to pay by card. Cash is a legal tender, it is our right to pay with cash. Banks are making it increasingly difficult to lodge cash and that has nothing to do with a virus, nor has this ‘dirty money’ trend.
Please open your eyes. Please stop believing everything you are being told. Almost every single topic in today’s world is tainted with corruption and hidden agendas. Please stop telling me and others like me that we are what’s wrong with the world when you hail the most corrupt members of society as your heroes. Politics and greed is what is wrong with the world; not those who are trying to alert you to the reality in which you are blindly floating along whilst being immobilised by irrational fear. Fear created to keep you doing and believing in exactly what you are complacently doing.
Pay with cash and please say no to a cashless society while you still have the choice.
“2.6 million people die annually in low-and middle-income countries from medical errors, and most of those deaths are related to misdiagnosis and administration of pharmaceutical products (ie, drugs and vaccines)…Medication errors alone cost an estimated $42 billion (US dollars) annually. Unsafe surgical care procedures cause complications in up to 25% of patients resulting in 1 million deaths during or immediately after surgery annually…Four out of every ten patients are harmed during primary and ambulatory health care. The most detrimental errors are related to diagnosis, prescription and the use of medicines.” — The World Health Organization
Iatrogenesis:“The causation of a disease, a harmful complication, or other ill effect by any medical activity, including diagnostic error, treatment (drug, vaccine or surgical) error or negligence.”
Below are excerpts from medical journal articles that conclude that medical (iatrogenic) errors are the third leading cause of death in the US. The third excerpt suggests that iatrogenesis is likely the #1 cause of acute and chronic illnesses, some of the names of which are listed in the product inserts that the pharmaceutical industry must attach to every oral or injectable drug and every vaccine that they manufacture and sell.
Those drug and vaccine product inserts must list the most common adverse effects for 1) every Big Pharma-manufactured prescription drug that is dispensed at pharmacies; and for 2) every vaccine ampoule from which large numbers of potentially-toxic intramuscularly-administered vaccines that are commonly injected at every physician’s office that offers cocktails of vaccinations (which are now even given at pharmacies as well!).
The first study below, published in 2016 in the BMJ (British Medical Journal,) was authored by researchers from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland. Apparently, no US medical journal to which the article was submitted was willing to publish it. More
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While the world slept the Brussels European Commission organized, in cooperation with the World Health Organization, a Global Vaccination Summit on September, 12, 2019, in Brussels… A coincidence or the fulfillment of part two and the final touches for a global COVID-19 pandemic New World Order?
It is also no secret that Brussels is a very major player in the New World Order, meant for total control and combining all of the nations under one umbrella and one world government, to where no freedom, sovereignty or independent nations will remain. Also, it is well known that the European leadership in Brussels is not elected by the people, and the Global Vaccination Summit was just one more nail in the coffin combining world power and compliance in the hands of a few evil players, to where an oligarchy, with unlimited power, using “fear” will then be the most dangerous political-cultural stunt that the world would has ever known, past, present, or in the future.
With regard to the Vaccination Summit, European Commission President, Jean Claude Juncker and WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus led the agenda which was meant to give high level endorsement to worldwide vaccination and global commitment but also take global action against the spread of vaccine “misinformation.” Thus, says the Ministers of Truth.
The Vaccine Roundtable categories consisted of the following; “In Vaccines we trust.” “The magic of science.” “Vaccines Protecting Everyone, Everywhere.” And I got my B.S. in Communications too!
400 participants from around the world including political leaders, high-level representatives from the UN and other international organizations, health ministries, leading academics, scientists and health professionals, the private sector, NGOs and Bill Gates were all part of an “invitation only” agenda. Another coincidence?
Has the timing of last years 2019 vaccine event even raised up any red flags, and especially so while the world nears August, 2020 and also the
November election, in an ever increasing Covid-19 pandemic mode which demands a vaccine as soon as possible? It’s time to wake up America and connect the dots! Your freedom depends on it.
Yet, let’s take note of what is common knowledge and is happening today. With the help of MIT, Bill Gates’ is on the threshold of creating a
vaccine which includes a Quantum Dot Digital Tattoo Implant to track COVID-19 vaccine compliance. Compliance in this case means, like it or
not, you will have to take it. And if a person refuses the vaccine, which is also called a “digital identity” tracker, what then? The noose is getting tighter and tighter. Will the non-compliant person be shuttled off in an unmarked van to no man’s land or Hotel California? While American cities burn, governments plan even more dastardly nightmare policies, all the while, Covid-19 and the New World Order mandates of vaccines will be fast-tracked and still be unsafe just as other vaccines which have already shown to be dangerous and very harmful. If this global agenda isn’t a wake-up call what is?
Have you figured it out yet? Has it dawned on you that any vaccine supposedly being developed to fight a bogus virus is not about your health? Has it occurred to you yet, that the sudden refusal of retailers to accept cash, the claimed “shortage of coins” is for one purpose only? To move to a digital currency. Just as an added plus: you can’t buy, sell, work, seek medical attention, fly, buy insurance, or do anything else an individual would do in the course of any routine day unless you have this mark on you.
The so-called vaccine has one purpose, and one purpose only…. to implant a digital tattoo that can be accessed at any time without your consent, from anywhere at any time. But many of you fools will fight to be first in line to be intentionally infected with whatever they load into the deadly jab. Personally, I believe everyone who gets this dummy vaccine should be branded on the forehead so we know who to stay away from. These are the people who should self-quarantine for at least three weeks to prevent the spreading of the diseases they willingly were infected with.
As an added irritant, I could just blow chunks watching people line up and wait for hours to be swabbed for a virus that is nothing more than the common cold. Unless of course you got last year’s flu vaccine which was laced with four strains of corona; one of which is the strain that causes this terrible pneumonia. But I can’t help but notice they aren’t collecting any stats on that. Wonder why that is?
Did anyone else notice drop in infant mortality during the lockdown? Parents were not sacrificing their babies at the alter of CDC and pharmaceutical companies. Infant mortality dropped an estimated 70% as a result of parents foregoing well baby checkups and routine vaccines. But many of you will hand your baby right over to be infected with mutated viruses, bacterium, fungi, the DNA of non-related species, mercury, aluminum, and other toxic material.
Hey! I have an idea!! Why not combine theses deadly childhood vaccines with the implantation of a digital tattoo? It could be done when the baby is first born, has no defenses and is completely vulnerable. You could combine with the HepB vaccine that is totally unnecessary, or the vitamin k shot that is 50% aluminum emulsion that travels directly to the brain!
Chances are they are already doing this if not planning it in the near future.
It was simply this—fewer babies were brought to pediatricians for childhood vaccines (given at birth, 2, 4, 6, 12, 18 months, etc.). That resulted in fewer babies dying from crib death or SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). From the paper:
SIDS deaths are one of the two largest causes of death among infants aged 1 month to 1 year. (8)
Infant deaths in the US showing decrease in crib death.
U.S. mortality rates have declined among young people during the lockdown, especially among infants. These trends have gone largely unnoticed and remain unexplained.
“What difference does an increase in the National Debt make? We owe it to ourselves.” virtually every congress-critter has declared. Such a paraphrased program gives the federal government/ congress purchasing power not previously available—to buy votes from home. Unfortunately, the inflation created dilutes the purchasing power and value of assets owned by individuals. The system also conceals the immense transfer of value to bankers, which has justified the intense subterfuge and arm-twisting necessary for the Fed’s creation—that this paper exposes. The inherent destructive forces, evidenced by historic Rothschild banking1 and mathematical analysis, are also identified.
The medieval Rothschild banks established a line of credit for the King provided he pledged collateral with a written promise to pay gold with interest to the bearer at a time in the future. The book-entry Rothschild credit was used to satisfy obligations incurred by the king. The credit continued to be circulated in the kingdom between merchants. The bankers sold the king’s promise to investors for hoarded gold. The promise (security) was renewed by the bank on its maturing date and became perpetually rolled-over. 2
VOILA !!! The king made the suppliers of services happy with Rothschild credit; the bankers had the gold from investors; the investors gained interest on their assets and a promise the king would eventually return their gold—which would never happen.3 Everything went smoothly as long as the bankers could sell the promise and the investors, or merchants, did not demand the gold.4 The king would pay the interest with more credit from the bank so the credit cost nothing. The schemes stole the wealth from the people with itsbook-entry fiat money5until the people brought a catastrophic climax.6
The Federal Reserve system does the same thing with the U.S. government’s deficit spending. The banking wizard is hiding behind Frank Baum’s curtain of the government image Federal Reserve marquee7 as obscurant to any public inquiry.8The Federal Reserve Bank of New York will grant credit (not “create money”) in an account of the U.S. government in an amount that the government will pledge. 9 The government will expend the book-entry-credit account (deficit spending) to pay for goods and services consumed by the government. The suppliers are content. Evidence that the supplier has received a credit voucher is obvious. The heading of the currency given to the supplier by a local commercial bank is Federal Reserve Note; i.e., a debt obligation of the Federal Reserve. Historically, it was identified to be redeemable for gold, silver, or lawful money. It is now identified as a “tender” (substitute) required by law to be accepted for an imprinted number of dollars. What you have is what you get. [It is touted to the public as a loan.] 10More
As civil unrest continues in America, the fact remains in that Karl Marx has been one of the most favored persons on the list of university professors and the Social Sciences through many decades. Even so, there is not one country that I can think of, that ever benefited from this totalitarian/communistic/socio-economic blueprint. The word “freedom” is not in their vocabulary and neither is a democracy to where “we the
people” are protected from government overreach and the Bill of Rights. With that said take a closer look at the rest of the story.
While reflecting on the sad state of America’s higher education, one must not be fooled by all of the Ivy League glitz, fanfare and football. The truth of the matter is heart wrenching. With regard to university federal money coming from Washington D.C., also comes extreme federal control which is ultimately responsible for vast administrative failure, quotas; lowered academic standards; soaring costs due to corruption ; loss of efficiency and also productivity. Also included are the sweetheart deals with publishers which cater to Marxist, far left curricula; “political correctness”; rampant indoctrination, and neglect of traditional values. And finally, these institutions limited free inquiry and open discussions which are encouraged by the university administrators.
This is “education” and these are America’s premier “learning centers” meant to give the student a “well rounded” piece of perception, judgement, awareness, discernment and insight in a world where more freedom is needed, but actually is the very opposite which is now and agenda and the
very driving force that incites deviance, intolerance, violence and destruction. As for peace, truth and knowledge…wake me when it’s over.
A week ago, I was touring Montana public lands with my 13-year-old daughter. As we approached Yellowstone National Park, I explained how the slaughter of bison was largely to appease the livestock industry, pushed by a handful of ranchers who didn’t want bison migrating out of the Park. Bison, as it turns out, eat the same grass as cattle, and can carry the livestock disease brucellosis. Even though there has never been a documented case of cattle catching brucellosis from bison – not even one – in the Yellowstone ecosystem (all known cases were traced back to elk, according to the National Academy of Sciences), cattle producers fear losing “brucellosis-free” status which would make it harder for them to market their cattle. “It’s always the ranchers,” my daughter exclaimed.
She’s right.
Earlier in the week, we had visited the Thunder Basin National Grassland to see prairie dogs, a rare and sensitive native wildlife species and also the very linchpin of grassland wildlife diversity. Instead, we looked out on empty prairie dog colonies, decimated by lethal poisoning and sylvatic plague. The disease borne by fleas, was kept in check for years by conservation nonprofits who dusted the burrows with a flea-killing powder. But in 2017, the Forest Service started denying dusting permits to the conservationists, and stopped authorizing the non-lethal relocation of prairie dogs away from private land boundaries.
Recently, the Forest Service caved even further in to politically-connected ranchers with an anti-prairie dog plan amendment for the national grassland that includes expanded prairie dog poisoning programs and more recreational shooting of the animals. The livestock boosters want prairie dogs killed by plague, poisons, and bullets – so their non-native cattle would have more grass to eat.
Listen to what this Dr. is telling you about the vaccines and their actual purpose! They are altering our DNA. They are injecting cancer cells into our bodies. You are being intentionally infected with various contaminants. For God’s sake people!! WAKE UP!!
We Americans expect accountability of manufacturers and practitioners in the medical field, even during emergencies. However, the almost twenty pharmaceutical companies working to develop a vaccine at warp speed in response to the COVID virus, and persons prescribing, administering, or dispensing countermeasures to the virus, will have no liability exposure. This includes no liability for vaccine injuries that may occur from new vaccines.
The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act) authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services (the Secretary) to issue a Declaration to provide liability immunity to certain individuals and entities (Covered Persons) against any claim of loss caused by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the manufacture, distribution, administration, or use of medical countermeasures (Covered Countermeasures), except for claims involving “willful misconduct” as defined in the PREP Act. (Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 52 / Tuesday, March 17, 2020 / Notices)
The PREP Act creates a shield against liability lawsuits against the pharmaceutical companies, and many “qualified persons.” It would provide a shield from liability for the use of an emergency “countermeasure,” which could include, for example, the use of a ventilator that caused a death, or the use of a mask that caused a person to experience lethal hypoxia (low oxygen levels). The shield of liability for multibillion-dollar corporations notably helps secure the financial future of powerful, well-connected corporations, while ordinary families and small and medium sized businesses struggle to survive in the aftermath of governmental orders to isolate and shut down during an emergency.
If a new COVID vaccine comes on the market to address the declared emergency, if people are injured or killed by the vaccine, they will not be able to sue the manufacturer. Companies will not be penalized. If you are so unfortunate as to be hurt by a new vaccine or any of the existing declared pandemic countermeasures, the PREP act tells you where you can and can’t go. You cannot go to a regular court because the responsible parties will now have immunity from your lawsuit due to the emergency. You need to go to the newly created CICP court, (Countermeasure Injury Compensation Program Court). There you will be required to provide “compelling, reliable, valid, medical and scientific evidence” of any injury. In order to win your case, the burden of proof will be on you, not the government, and in fact, you will be in an adversarial contest with the government, its lawyers and experts.
The causal connection between the countermeasure and the serious physical injury must be supported by compelling, reliable, valid, medical and scientific evidence in order for the individual to be considered for compensation. (Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 52 / Tuesday, March 17, 2020 / Notices)
A similar liability shield for vaccine manufacturers is already in existence and deals with vaccine injuries, thus, vaccine manufacturers have long enjoyed freedom from liability when their vaccines cause injury or death. Claims are addressed in the “Vaccine court,” aka the VICP court. The VICP court, established under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, works to provide compensation for vaccine injury from vaccines on the recommended school vaccine schedule. However, although the Vaccine court has awarded now over $4 billion dollars in compensation for deaths and injuries from childhood vaccines, critics have described it as being riddled with bias and ineffectiveness, and for victim Plaintiff families seeking compensation, it is a long, arduous, expensive ordeal, over a period of many years. The government’s lawyers aggressively fight against the victims on causation issues. So, few victims win and all too many lose.
Even during a crisis, we must be sensitive to the needs of individuals who have been injured and are suffering. We need to call for accountability of those who have injured others by the manufacturing of defective and dangerous products while rushing to reap profits from a captive and fearful public. And also hold accountable those who are prescribing, administering, or dispensing these products without notification to consumers of the harm they may cause. The broad liability shield for pandemic countermeasures seems to be worrisome, troubling and, in our view, an abridgment of basic rights.

The verdict is now inescapable: Gardasil is killing girls.
The Australian government’s cancer data show the dramatic rise in cervical cancer in young girls vaccinated with Gardasil. Merck markets Gardasil as a prophylactic against cervical cancers despite the company’s own pre-licensing studies that showed a 44.6% INCREASE in cervical cancers among girls exposed to HPV virus prior to vaccination (up to 30% may be exposed in the birth canal).
Government numbers show a 16% cancer increase in 25-year-olds, a 28% increase in 30-year-olds, several years post vaccination.
The obsequious global press have widely quoted and credited the claims of the Gardasil vaccine’s inventor, Ian Fraser (who collects millions in Gardasil royalty payments), that Gardasil is poised to abolish cervical cancer in Australia. The official data put the lie to Fraser’s chicanery. Since 2007, all girls and women up to age 26 have been offered the HPV vaccine in Australia. Government numbers show a 16% cancer increase in 25-year-olds, a 28% increase in 30-year-olds, several years post vaccination. The 30-year-old’s rate increased from 5.4/100k to 6.9/100k. The 25- year-old’s rate rose from 3.2 to 3.7 per 100k.
Meanwhile, deaths in older women (unvaccinated) are decreasing possibly due to successful early Pap screening. This points to the vaccine as the clear culprit in vaccinated women—either from 1) vaccine failure, 2) reduced Pap screening (likely due in some cases to confidence in the HPV vaccine), 3) type replacement (the 9 HPV strains targeted by the vaccine are replaced by more virulent strains) or from 4) pathogenic priming. Fraser also dismisses the stories of tens of thousands of girls globally who blame Gardasil for their catastrophic autoimmune diseases. “Those girls would have gotten those autoimmune diseases in any case,” Fraser told me last month. “They have nothing to do with the vaccine.”
Fully Referenced Facts About Covid-19 that Refute Most of the US Mainstream Media’s Biased Pro-Big Pharma/Pro-Big Vaccine Corporate Narrative, Provided by a Group of Unbiased Medical Experts in the Field, to Help Readers Make Realistic Risk Assessments

“The only means to fight the plague is honesty.” (Albert Camus, 1947)
“Due to its rather low lethality, Covid-19 falls at most into level 2 of the five-level pandemic plan developed by US health authorities in 2007. For this level, only the ‘voluntary isolation of sick people’is to be applied, while further measures such as face masks, school closings, distance rules, contact tracing, vaccinations and lockdowns of entire societies are not recommended.”
Overview
1] According to the latest immunological and serological studies, the overall lethality of Covid-19 (IFR) is about 0.1% and thus in the range of a strong seasonal influenza (flu).
2] In countries like the US, the UK, and also Sweden (without a lockdown), overall mortality since the beginning of the year is in the range of a strong influenza season; in countries like Germany, Austria and Switzerland, overall mortality is in the range of a mild influenza season.
3] Even in global “hotspots”, the risk of death for the general population of school and working age is typically in the range of a daily car ride to work. The risk was initially overestimated because many people with only mild or no symptoms were not taken into account.

Henry Ford Health System physicians, researchers, and ethicists have filed an urgent application with FDA Commissioner Dr. Hahn for a new Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for early, out-patient HCQ use in COVID-19.
Stunning positive news on hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) was released in early July, potentially opening up medical freedom at the time of America’s celebration of our Declaration of Independence from British tyranny 244 years ago.
During the first six days of July, SIX positive clinical studies of HCQ were released:
three from the United States (one from Michigan at Henry Ford Health System, and two from New York state, including one primary care outpatient study by Dr. Vladimir Zelenko
All six studies showed that HCQ given early in COVID-19, alone or with zinc and azithromycin, reduces hospitalizations and deaths, with no serious heart or other adverse events.
Most media ignored these six positive studies, continuing to focus on fearmongering about HCQ “dangers” from now discredited, poorly designed and seriously flawed reports on use in critically ill hospitalized patients.
The Henry Ford study showed a 50 percent reduction in the death rate when HCQ was used early in hospitalized COVID patients. Dr. Zelenko’s even earlier outpatient intervention with HCQ, azithromycin and zinc showed approximately 80% decrease in deaths. These extraordinary results show how many lives can be saved with early HCQ treatment.

TAKE OUR COVID-19 GUARDIANSHIP/NURSING HOME SURVEY!: The Coronavirus Pandemic has laid bare a great many injustices in the United States. None more so than the tragedy that is taking place in America’s nursing homes, assisted living and long term care facilities.
If you already had a loved one in guardianship/conservatorship, or if a guardianship/conservatorship has been imposed by a probate/family court since January 2020 — or if you just have a loved one in long term care and are concerned for their safety, we want to hear from you!
The Covid-19 case numbers are spiking across the United States at an unbelievable rate. If I didn’t know better, I’d think there was a real pandemic taking place. But I do know better, and I understand the real reason the case numbers are increasing every day. It’s because the lab tests being administered nationwide are unreliable.
To have a fake viral pandemic that can render the world inoperable and helpless, you must mark massive case numbers in the statistical column called Covid-19.
There are sayings like the numbers don’t lie, and the proof is in the numbers. With Covid-19, the numbers do lie, and the case numbers don’t prove a damn thing except for the test kits diagnosing the coronavirus are useless because they yield false-positive results in 30-40 percent of the population.
It’s tiresome to keep writing the same thing day after day concerning the lab test kits. They shouldn’t be trusted today, they shouldn’t be trusted tomorrow, and they shouldn’t have been trusted yesterday. We can go through the same exercise next week, and the same rules will apply. Let me make this as clear as I can; do not trust the lab results because the test kits trigger false positives in a significant portion of the population.
Let’s Talk Face Masks:
Let’s get something straight right now because I am beginning to get irritated by the number of people walking around like zombies wearing what they believe are protective face masks for Covid-19.
People, the face masks do not protect you or anyone around you from germs and especially from a nonexistent Covid-19 virus. Face masks cut airflow to the mouth and nose. If you wear these devices in the hot summer environment, you will become light-headed and feel faint.
“…the numbers of deaths from COVID-19 remained reassuringly low.”
“Anthony Fauci’s proclamations are not science-based. Fauci is politically motivated, and so ignores the worthlessness of most of the data emerging from the CDC.”
Americans are being frightened by the media and experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci into believing that we are in a crisis of skyrocketing COVID-19 cases due to the reopenings of communities in the US. States that had survived the first explosive wave of COVID-19, such as Florida, Texas, and other Southern and Southwestern states, were literally beginning to save America as they stimulated their economies, providing a vital lift to our national economic, social and emotional well-being. When these states became more open the numbers of deaths from COVID-19 remained reassuringly low.
In the past couple of weeks the nation is being loudly informed by experts and media that there has been an explosion of new COVID-19 cases in exactly those states that had done so well before, including Florida and Texas, two of the nation’s biggest contributors to the national economy.
The dictionary definition of “hype” is a deception or put-on, or promotional publicity of an extravagant or contrived kind. But regarding medical advances, it might be used to refer to hope.
Hope, or “false hope,” is something doctors are not supposed to give patients regarding a non-established treatment for a disease, especially one deemed to be incurable.
Hope is not needed if an outcome is assured. Hope is what sustains people when the outlook appears bleak. The alternative is despair.
Regarding COVID-19, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and other established national and international agencies define what is hype or false hope. If “hype,” also called “harmful misinformation,” appears on a website or social media, it will be disappeared, cancelled, or labeled as dangerous, as people are referred to WHO or CDC websites.
Remember that most entities promoting panic and despair have an ulterior motive. They are selling a remedy, the only thing that they say can save you from certain disaster.
WHO, CDC, et al., and the medical organizations and physicians who trust their authority are saying that COVID-19 is incurable. We must remain locked down, separated, and masked. If we catch it, we must go home, self-isolate, and come to the hospital if we can’t breathe. We can take some over-the-counter medications for fever and pain, but there is nothing to prescribe.
Once in the hospital, we will be separated from family, friends, clergy, and independent doctors. If we’re about to die, there may be a ventilator available for us. Our chance of surviving then may be 50 percent—or less. The hospital we are in might have a clinical trial for which we are eligible. We’ll be assigned to get—or not get—a drug that they think might work. Or perhaps we’ll get remdesivir on an FDA Emergency Use Authorization. The government has committed to buy 3 months’ worth of production at $3,120 per 5-day course of treatment (500,000 doses). If each course has six doses, that’s about $260 million. If we survive—remdesivir doesn’t seem to affect that—it will save us about four days in the hospital. More
The Michigan “Lockdown” Liberty And Accountability Key
The simple, indisputable legal basis for reclaiming freedom from all “lockdown” edicts in the Great Lakes state, and for holding the perps responsible.
(The Texas, Virginia, Kentucky, Wyoming and Georgia Keys have been added, below.)
1. The Michigan Constitution is the supreme law of the state:
Schedule, section 16, of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 provides that upon adoption of that Constitution by a majority of electors, “it shall be the supreme law of the state on and after the first day of January of the year following its adoption” and declares that vote in favor of adoption as having been certified on June 20, 1963.
2. Disharmony with the Constitution invalidates any purported act, pronouncement, edict, decree, order or law of any state officer(s) or agent(s):
The General rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and name of law is in reality no law, but is wholly void, and ineffective for any purpose; since unconstitutionality dates from the time of it’s enactment and not merely from the date of the decision so branding it. An unconstitutional law, in legal contemplation, is as inoperative as if it had never been passed. Such a statute leaves the question that it purports to settle just as it would be had the statute not been enacted.
No repeal of an enactment is necessary, since an unconstitutional law is void. The general principles follow that it imposes no duties, confers no rights, creates no office, bestows no power or authority on anyone, affords no protection, and justifies no acts performed under it.
16 Am Jur 2d, Sec 256
3. Michigan’s Constitution vests law-making (legislative) power– that is, the power to impose enforceable requirements or prohibitions– exclusively in the legislature, in Article IV, section 1 and Article III, section 2, with only two very narrow and specific exceptions (all bracketed clarifications and emphases added):
Except to the extent limited or abrogated by article IV, section 6 [providing for an Independent citizens redistricting commission] or article V, section 2 [allowing the governor to rearrange or reassign functions within the legislatively-established executive branch, subject to approval by the legislature where having the character of law], the legislative power of the State of Michigan is vested in a senate and a house of representatives.
While various protests are still happening during the 4th of July weekend, Ben Carson calls BLM which is also connected to Antifa, a Marxist organization which confirms what other persons inside the organization have already shared.
One of their main leaders of Antifa, a young girl back in 2017 also confirmed that Marxism was their playbook in a video. And why is this important? It is because the organization is being funded and controlled by certain major players in the background who’s intent is to use BLM to destroy America and ultimately shred the U.S. Constitution, which is the very document that stands for freedom and equality. Why would protestors buy into this? It is simply because they have been deceived by a few corporate high rollers in high places that stand to make even more billions of dollars in the end. And if America becomes too dangerous to live in, these multimillionaires and billionaire, far left leaning individual, have many other safe residences in other parts of the world that they can fly to and where they can live happily ever after spend into their fortunes and dipping into their offshore bank accounts. This fact was all written in the book, The Rich and the Super Rich as far back as 1969.
Not only are these violent protests unconstitutional, they are anti-American in the sense that they come with a rouge blueprint that was used in the Soviet Union after the first Communists took over during the reign of Lenin. Comparing the Russian revolution to Antifa and other activists would be correct. The same tactics are now being used to destroy monuments, history and law and order. Yet, if law and order is destroyed then the anarchists and anti-Christs will extend their rebellious secular and immoral culture to the 3rd degree, in order to erect their own tyrannical state and elevate their chosen dictator elite in the likes of Stalin. Yet, once their dictatorship is erected, what will be left of the U.S. economy if the industrial output comes to a standstil? A good many people may starve and may sadly join the ranks of the homeless? Comparatively, counter culture activists such as the late Che Guevara, years ago became a symbol of liberation in a poverty stricken Bolivia and the country of Argentina through violence and civil unrest.
Yet, was Russia any better after their revolution? Show me. There were bread lines and very little money that went to the lower and middle classes. In fact during the reign of Stalin, the Ukraine harvests were used for the Communist elites in Moscow and others who were “party members”, all the while, an estimated 3.9 million Ukraine’s starved to death because they could not keep up with the collective allotments required by Moscow. Favored government workers which also included aerospace engineers and others were well paid for their talents and services, and any real wealth at the top never trickled down to the lesser strata of the Russian society. Thus, even after the fall of the Berlin Wall and Russia’s loss of the Balkan states which were directly East of Germany, “classic” Marxism, as always, showed no prosperity nor mercy.
In closing, one can see that America is now under attack by those same kinds of merciless people who have those same kinds of outdated Marxist
theories that lead to the poverty of 2/3 of the people. China is one present example to where there never were intentions to redistribute the wealth and the top 1/3 always end up with the cream at the top. China’s sky rise, stack n’ pack apartment buildings are but glorified prisons for the labor camp slaves. It is a sorry set of circumstances for these poor people who want to be free.
History repeats itself and my estimate is that, in America, the lower 1/3 of society looks for a government that will give them entitlements and free stuff while the middle 1/3 working class pays for a good percentage of it. As for the 1/3 at the top, they skate right on by in the ice arena in an attempt to win themselves an Olympic Medal with a triple axle that requires three and a half perfect turns. Welcome to the Ice Age and shall we say goodbye to Climate Change while we are at it. Why not?
Arizona’s Republican Gov. Doug Ducey tries to explain Monday why his state waited to impose social distancing guidelines until after coronavirus cases surged. (State of Arizona)
You may think that the coronavirus and COVID-19, the disease it causes, are frightening enough. But Arizona has just activated a rulebook for rationing hospital care that is truly terrifying.
In brief, the rules allow hospitals to deny critical healthcare resources such as ventilators to patients based on medical judgments about their likelihood of living even five more years despite surviving COVID-19.
In practical terms, that means that on average, older adults are more likely to be denied care than younger persons. Those with medical conditions other than COVID-19 would be more vulnerable to denials than those judged to be healthier, whatever their age.
Under the rules, doctors making triage judgments that deprive patients of necessary care will be immune from legal liability.
Arizona’s so-called crisis standards of care, or CSC, isn’t unique among the states.
Let’s begin by saying this. When it comes to civil unrest, certainly, there is no question that for a very long time there have been many injustices happening in America and for at least a century and even longer. We are not just talking about social and economic injustices among African Americans, but also there have been injustices among the Mexicans, Orientals, Indians, and a host of other nationalities that have all had their share of major rip offs, trials and countless setbacks. In spite of certain advantages that have been given to these groups for many years, such as upward mobility and college opportunities, a culture of unthankfulness also exists among certain groups of people who still want to take the law into their own hands.
While states and the federal government agencies most often tend to have the upper hand with thousands of laws along with fines and jail time, sadly, law enforcement seems to be quite immune from criminal conduct a lot of the time. And apart from violence and theft by the common people which I do not approve of, many members of government are also guilty of outrageous actions themselves, but then generally they get away with these actions regularly which are on the same level as crime or even treason. However, that in itself, doesn’t give the right to groups such as Antifa and others a license to burn our cities and take unlawfulness to an anarchical level. Both sides need to sit down and and talk and come and reason together before our entire country bites the dust. Law enforcement and protestors need a new blueprint for living in a society that was once a much safer and kinder country.
Be assured, America is also being driven by hate and various far left groups that are meant to topple the country and rebuild it. And yes, this is a dark agenda that will will surely cost the very freedom that was fought for from the very beginning in 1776. Although, no country is perfect and I do not blame people if they are discontent with their lives because of Covid-19 and the present police state of affairs, yet if certain groups of people are being paid to protest and light our cities on fire, then it is no longer a question of defunding the police. It is now only a question of how might major change be made without violence and murders from the radical gangs and the far left which is no better than the rogue police who can use military grade equipment among the protestors that was brought in during the Obama administration. This even included shoulder-held grenade launchers and other murderous instruments which may be used by SWAT teams or members of the National Guard. And yes, Black Lives matter, but then why is the mainstream media not questioning a dark rouge government agenda which was birthed before President Trump took office? More
“the amount of money companies are mandated to pay into these funds has been vastly under-calculated, and these bond pools are also facing insolvency.”
For more than a century-and-a-half, the forests, streams, and hollows of the Appalachian Mountains have been scraped and gashed to unearth their heart of rich black coal. These lumps of hydrocarbons historically played a vital role in America’s electricity mix, accounting for a third of the country’s energy production as recently as 2008.
But over the past decade, a devastating combination of forces has pummeled the industry, from cheap natural gas and the falling cost of renewables to growing public pressure to respond to the climate crisis. U.S. coal production has dropped 40 percent since its peak 12 years ago, and the commodity accounted for only 14 percent of the country’s electricity generation last year.
With the coronavirus pandemic now stalling energy demand, coal production has dropped about 26 percent in the past 12 months alone, perhaps ringing the death knell for coal as an energy source in America.
“The pandemic has even further depressed the use of energy, and oil prices have collapsed, making it even more difficult to compete,” said Ohio Coal Association president Mike Cope, who estimated a strong industry would need to provide a third of the country’s energy. “Nothing really to cheer about in the coal industry these days.”
Hit with another wave of bankruptcies, King Coal is on its deathbed. But even as it fades away, the industry could land a final, painful blow to communities and the environment in Appalachia.
An investigation by DeSmog has found that several key financial instruments meant to guarantee environmental cleanup have been pushed to the brink of insolvency, potentially leaving taxpayers on the hook for hundreds of millions — if not billions — of dollars in reclamation costs.
Even as coal companies go bankrupt and walk away, a federal law passed in 1977 created an ostensibly fail-safe system to fund future cleanups: Mining companies put up millions of dollars in security deposits intended to pay for reclaiming individual mines. These funds, called bonds, usually come as surety policies, which are provided by insurance companies and guarantee a third party will fill pits, seal shafts, and mitigate water and air pollution.
But DeSmog has found that the bonding system now faces dangerous levels of risk. The large insurance companies that once wrote surety policies are fleeing the industry, allowing a few insurance providers to take on much more liability than they can handle. If enough coal companies go under, it will set off a chain reaction, taking these insurance companies down with them.
“Subsidized livestock already outnumber wild horses and burros by over 37 to 1, yet livestock overgrazing is a top cause of damage to federal rangelands.”
Environmental travesties are on the rise, many obscured by the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the biggest ones will soon be taken up by Congress.
In its long-overdue report to Congress, the Bureau of Land Management proposes capturing and removing 220,000 wild horses and burros over 10 years to achieve its unsupported, arbitrary “appropriate management level” of 26,690 — a near-extinction population level.
It will cost American taxpayers $1 billion to expel these animals from the dedicated rangelands where they currently live at no cost to taxpayers. Thousands of wild mares could be subjected to ovariectomy, a discredited, brutal form of sterilization. In the end, hundreds of thousands of once-wild animals will languish in crowded holding pens — and taxpayers will be footing the bill.
Wild horses are federally protected animals. The 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act established their ranges as dedicated habitat to be “managed principally ” for their welfare. Flouting this law, the BLM has removed wild equids from nearly half of their designated 52 million acres. Now, government machinery is accelerating to remove most of the rest.
The BLM plans to wipe out three herd management areas in Wyoming’s famed Checkerboard and sterilize an entire herd in a fourth — “zeroing out” 2.5 million acres of their habitat for continual use by privately owned livestock.
In Nevada, the BLM intends to eliminate six herds in the Caliente Complex, imprisoning 1,700 wild horses at taxpayer expense. They will also take 1,800 wild horses from Oregon’s Barren Valley, proposing sterilization as “management,” killing off the “wild” in these wild horses.
The Bureau of Land Management has spent the pandemic churning out rapacious public land projects at breakneck speed. This includes egregious grazing decisions drastically increasing livestock numbers for powerful ranchers. After complaints, Idaho BLM Director John Ruhs responded that ranching was an essential service.
At the same time, an avalanche of BLM deforestation projects hit. Ely BLM’s Long and Ruby Valley Watershed Restoration EA decision arrived by certified mail, authorizing more grotesque pinyon-juniper carnage and smashed roller-beaten sagebrush across 136,000 acres of public land. That’s 213 square miles laid to waste within a nearly half million-acre landscape, plus blanket tree removal around all springs.
It’s the latest in a dismal series of cookie cutter projects tearing apart the Great Basin. BLM’s 2008 land use plan (the Ely RMP) is based on radical deforestation and sagebrush reduction. At that time, sage-grouse were not the primary excuse for these projects. Hazardous fuels reduction was all the rage. Nowadays, both are knotted together. The RMP has served as a springboard for watershed-by-watershed decimation of native forests and sage communities, and their migratory bird and other wildlife inhabitants across the District’s 12 million acres.
The Modeling Con: Restoration = Plant Community Destruction = Livestock Forage Grass
BLM concocts models of supposed historical plant communities using inputs that ignore actual historical accounts of sagebrush and pinyon-juniper occurrence and characteristics. The models are acronym laden, confusing, and help facilitate destruction of woody plants that ranchers don’t like. Short fire return intervals and sketchy fuels assumptions from the Landfire website are plugged in to the models.
The Nature Conservancy (TNC) has been deeply involved in pushing this dubious forest and sage dooming methodology. Once armed with voodoo vegetation models, BLM claims trees should not be growing where they are found across Nevada’s mountain ranges, because the models predict frequent fires would have kept forests from persisting. BLM also adds in a scheme based on arbitrary “phases” (amounts of canopy cover) to justify clearing away trees. Anything to keep a forest from being a forest. This has long been the playbook for obliterating trees in Nevada.
