The 3-Bell Ranch

_Those of you who follow my blog know that I have had grave concerns about the passage and implementation of Senate Bill 510, National Animal Identification System (NAIS), as well as other legislation that offers VAGUE language that threatens the future of "We the People" to live lives of liberty, to grow our own food and care for our animals. Our fundamental, Constitutionally "protected" rights are under siege.

I urge you to examine the following story. Granted: the aerial images project "red neck animal husbandry"; however, in no image can I see evidence of a single "abused"  animal; all were removed (illegally) from their property.

It is a slippery road we're on. And if we do not stand together to say "No: YOU MUST FOLLOW THE LETTER OF THE LAW AND THE LAW MAY NOT BE AMBIGUOUS OR VAGUE" then we will see our rights eroded, our liberties stripped and our ability to live in "freedom" crushed.

If we find we dismiss that which we see with our own eyes or hear with our own ears, and defer instead to the reports of Authorities, we will one day find our selves caught in the crosshairs with no one to raise a voice in our defense. We cannot afford to turn our backs on situations so  easily dismissed by prejudgements-- prejudgements formed through misinformation, propaganda or out and out lies.

Speak now or forever hold your peace.

Mr. Obama, Ms. Murray, Ms. Cantwell:

If it isn't apparent to you yet, you are not paying attention: On your watch, the United States has been driven into utter ruin.

In the 1990s you stomped all over a few advocates of bank reform. And since then we have witnessed the effects of leveraged credit, as for example, carnage of run away credit default swaps. We have loans outstanding that no one could possible pay back, the most grievous taken out by the United States government itself, which now owes its soul-- and the souls of its We The People-- to China.

We the real People have been thrown away, forsaken by our government whose leaders found more power in catering to the desires of large corporations rather than defending the Constitution and building and maintaining a strong country. A few threw away the fate of our entire economy for short-term personal and professional gains. You should be ashamed of the mess you allowed to unfold. You have not represented your constituents. You have not defended American Freedom. You have not defended our Constitution. You have promoted and protected the status quo of the elite. Your conduct has been unconscionable.

With our industry, once strong, exported to off-shore locations we have no base of income for the middle class-- the slaves upon whose backs you built your empires.

You've allowed the Federal Reserve to print money for which there is no backing. We have not yet begun to see a Depression. The 1930's were a cake walk compared to the world-wide Depression we are about to witness.

You have stolen from We The People, taken our Social Security money to pay for your short-term greed, you've stolen and spent our pensions, gutted our retirement funds. You've pushed us aside and grabbed the loot like a bunch of bullies in a candy store. You got yours. But the joke's on you, isn't it? For in the end, you will preside over a junk yard; sadly, you could have presided over Eden.

I see absolutely no way out. Run away inflation is the end result of your brilliant idea to stimulate the economy by allowing the Federal Reserve to print money and to hand that money right over to the corrupt, top-heavy banks and corporations who should have been allowed to die. You have fed the gross offenders while turning a blind eye to corporate loopholes and corruption. While you have stolen from pension plans and Social Security reserves you have done nothing to encourage industry to return our own shores. You used our hard-earned tax dollars to finance illegal wars, fuel your insatiable appetite for an illusion of power while ignoring a long-term solution. You could have spent the trillions you've pissed away on crony bail-outs to reward and foster American ingenuity to develop alternative energy sources thus reducing or maybe even eliminating our need for oil, for proactively working to halt or slow climate change, to proactively and responsibly slow population growth, for creating sustainable systems that range from industry to farming to life-style. This country is full of brilliant minds and patriotic men and women who would jump at the opportunity to rebuild America, to put Her to the top of world powers by identifying problems and creating real solutions to world-wide catastrophic threats-- no, I don't mean the alleged Red Alert Terrorist threat; I mean REAL threats: dependence on oil; run-away corporate power and corruption; loss of real jobs-- jobs that create a base of export, jobs that are inherently sustainable. Sustainable is the operative word here. Sustainable!

It was on your watch that this county has fallen to its knees. Maybe, just maybe... if you abandon the illusion that you're going to survive this crash (or are delusional enough to think it's not coming)... maybe you'll think a little bigger... maybe you'll reflect upon the factors-- and I've touched only on the tip of the iceberg-- that have conspired to bring down the United States of America. And if you can wrap your heads around what has brought us down, maybe... just maybe... before it's tooooo late, you can really affect reforms that will do more than build roads to nowhere for people who cannot afford the fuel to go there.
