I have just finished reading the latest federal EIS/Plan/
Federal Register Notice/Request for Comments written by the US National
Park Service (or is it the US Fish and Wildlife Service, or the US Forest
Service, or some other federal bureaucracy — I forget) about FREE ROAMING
BUFFALO IN THE YELLOWSTONE ECOSYSTEM (my underline).
Think about that for a moment – A Federal Plan for a common
critter throughout AN ECOSYSTEM! Translation; since “Ecosystem” can
be whatever you choose it to be, this federal plan composed by federal
(i.e. unaccountable) bureaucrats, and buffalo being the critters they are,
these central government “planners” are outlining what they will do – 1)
in Yellowstone Park, 2) on the federal lands beyond Yellowstone Park boundaries,
3) on private property surrounding Yellowstone Park, and 4) on all the
public and private property surrounding all the public and private property
that surrounds Yellowstone National Park. Shades of Soviet Central
Planners creating Stalin’s “Plan” to starve millions of Ukrainians to kill
all the farmers that thought they still owned their land and replace them with
the Soviet Collective Farms that, like this buffalo lunacy, will be a harmful
and dismal failure, except in the halls of government where bureaucrats
will slap each other on the back like the Soviets did for 60 years while giving
each other bonuses as people, families and their communities disappeared.
There is NO authority or jurisdiction for federal bureaucrats
to consider, much less delineate, where buffalo will occur or under what conditions
they will be tolerated and who will pay for it OUTSIDE THE EXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION of Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone National Park
is unique in this character that it shares with only the District of Columbia.
State governments have jurisdiction under the Constitution over the
plants and animals in or about to be in their state regardless of who (federal,
non-profit, private, etc.) owns it.
Consider: Buffalo
are not “endangered”.
Buffalo are among the most dangerous animals encountered
by visitors to the various U.S. and Canadian National Parks and will
attack humans if provoked. They appear slow because of their lethargic movements
but can easily outrun humans—bison have been observed running as fast as 40
miles per hour (64 km/h). This fact is studiously either avoided or
downplayed in the federal “plans”.
Between 1980 and 1999, more than three times as many people
in Yellowstone National Park were injured by buffalo than by bears. During
this period, buffalo charged and injured 79 people, with injuries ranging
from goring puncture wounds and broken bones to bruises and abrasions.
Bears injured 24 people during the same time frame. Three people died from
the injuries inflicted—one person by buffalo in 1983, and two people by
bears in 1984 and 1986.
Romance Biology accounts of the “massacre” of buffalo by
“hunters” in the 1800’s never mention how towns, roads, farms and ranches
could have ever been established, much less co-existed, with free-roaming
buffalo.
Romance biology accounts of the disappearance of buffalo
also mention frequently that “livestock diseases decimated buffalo”; federal
planners today downplay and ignore the threat that free-roaming buffalo
would present to livestock such as brucellosis, hoof-and-mouth, BSE (Mad
Cow) and Anthrax.
Buffalo are cantankerous; a point I thought about as I
hunted pheasants in Montana prairie hill country slated for a free-roaming
buffalo referendum that was soundly rejected soon after my visit.
(There was a BIG sign by the church entrance on Sunday morning that read, “NO
BUFFALO IN MALTA!”) Imagine some guys on foot with shotguns behind dogs coming
on a band of buffalo that get irritated by the dog’s, miles from anything
but grass, pheasants and sharptails. Where do the dogs go? Why to
YOU. Who storms after the dogs? Why the buffalo. What do you
do? Why you either die or suffer injuries that YOU will be blamed for
causing by some sort of regulatory violation based on some Romance Biology
Professor’s nostrum paid for by government.
Imagine living where buffalo knock down fences (commonly);
where buffalo wander through crops and destroy them routinely; where buffalo
(they are dark and heavy like moose) standing in country roads are struck by
vehicles causing death, injuries, and property destruction to local men,
women and kids; and where buffalo attacks on livestock are common. But I
digress: in what way you may ask are buffalo, metaphors? Let me count
the ways.
Buffalo and their enablers are like:
Federal Wolf Planners
that bear no responsibility for the lies and mayhem they create for their
own benefit and the continued reelection and sponsorship of their political
patrons.
State Wolf Planners
that do federal bidding and spend scarce hunting and fishing revenue money
on federal schemes designed to ultimately destroy hunting and fishing.
State Bureaucrats
that express only contempt and disdain for residents of their state and
Local governments in their State that object to wolves, grizzlies and protected
mountain lions in their communities.
Wolves that spread
disease, kill domestic animals like dogs and livestock, kill or compete
with more desirable (to sportsmen and local communities) game animals,
and present clear and present dangers to humans forced to coexist
with them.
Wolf Enablers in
that they (their majority) live elsewhere; do not raise livestock; do not
hunt, fish or trap; and do not rely for effective local government representation
on County governments and their revenue streams.
Grizzly Bear Advocates
that spread and protect these very dangerous and very destructive animals
based on lies and denials of deaths, destruction and injuries. Grizzly
bears, like wolves, no more belong in the settled landscapes of the Lower 48
States than elephants, tigers or Nile Crocodiles belong here in this day
and age.
Anti-Hunting/Animal Rights Radicals that promise to compensate losses from these animals but
never do: that deny the truths right before their eyes with widespread propaganda
in enthusiastic newspapers, TV, and school classrooms; and all the while
forcing (through lawsuits) state fish and wildlife agencies to drain their
funds for wildlife management on these programs to destroy hunting and
rural American life.
Environmentalists
and their hidden agendas to vacate rural America by a combination of government
land purchase; federally-financed and coordinated surrogate purchases of
key easements and land options; closure of roads; closure of public lands
to management, use, grazing, logging, hunting by contrived claims of
“importance”, Wilderness, Roadless, Sanctuaries and other bureaucratic
creations; and the elimination of Local governments while simultaneously
co-opting state bureaucracies.
Central Government and World Government Activists that envision a world THEY RULE where there are no such
things as Constitutional guarantees, Congressional oversight, Judicial
Review, private property, or the opportunity for local communities to
live in peace and prosperity, free from outside influences that only take
from them for the benefit of others.
Progressive (choose your own term here) Activists that believe that ANYTHING you can generate a majority,
or influential, or rich, segment of the population to support should be
imposed by any means on the minority or less powerful NO MATTER THEIR
OBJECTIONS.
HHHMMMM, roll all the above together, put all their little
hidden agendas and activities in one pot, and what do you have? Whatever
you want to call IT; IT is a metaphor all its own. IT is like:
Islamist “Planners”
outlining and incrementally forcing their worldview on the rest of the
world, NO MATTER WHAT THEY THINK regardless of civilized standards of behavior
or any moral considerations.
Soviet “Planners”
taking advantage of every incremental opportunity to expand the Soviet
Empire by whatever means from lies and invasion to forcible occupation.
Never forget that the “Soviet” or “Russian” nuclear plant at Chernobyl was
in Ukraine, surrounded by Ukrainians and not in Russia.
Mao’s “Planners”
destroying the cities and intelligentsia inside China while gobbling up
Tibet and the South China Sea’s resources outside China.
Nazi “Planners”
lying about their plans for outside Germany until resistance was impossible
and then swiftly invading and establishing concentration camps and slave
labor with the intent of killing “sub-humans”, enslaving “inferior races”,
and restoring a Romance History Fairyland populated by “Pre-Roman” plants
and animals, “super-men” and the estates of Nazi overlords.
Margaret Sanger Population Control “Planners” justifying the mass murder of millions of fellow
human beings by abortion and the sterilization of others by government
mandates (China) with government funding based on racist beliefs and disregard
for the intrinsic value of each human life.
Same-Sex Activists
that appeal for “equal treatment” and then proceed to destroy the legal concept
of marriage and parenthood and then destroy businesses, individuals and
now churches and Chaplains that object to what they represent.
Gun Control Advocates
that get politicians to do anything, no matter its Constitutionality,
to ban ammunition, restrict “only certain” guns, negotiate and secretly
write UN agreements to subvert the 2nd Amendment, and smuggle guns to Mexican
killers as justification to restrict guns in the US; while protesting how
they “hunt” and “don’t want to restrict all guns” and how they “respect” the
2nd Amendment.
Current American Society with its government secrecy; erosion of checks and balances;
vilification of police; flag bans on campuses; government sex and race
preferences; loss of local government; debilitating debt; and growing
disparate justice standards based on wealth, government standing, and the
political party of the judge’s appointing sponsor.
In the study of Logic you quickly encounter the Syllogism.
A syllogism is a verifiable argument wherein two verifiable (i.e.
true) premises explain, or lead to, a verifiable conclusion.
For instance:
Premise #1– Buffalo are a current tool of a coalition of
extremist agendas that aim to destroy American Constitutional
governance.
Premise #2– Current American Society’s Constitutional
governance is eroding at an accelerating rate.
CONCLUSION– Buffalo are contributing to the erosion of
Constitutional governance in America Society. Come to think of it; buffalo
are far more than just a metaphor for our times. They are but one of the
destructive forces we face and must overcome.
