“Conservation and Humane treatment of animals today, is often a “information-stream” of “misinformation” in reality, to the general public. Resolving the issues we see daily, truthfully, can and should be resolved within a simplistic resolution. But this would not generate extreme profit margins for some people and organizations – which is ignored, if the truth be known.

These “disinformation campaigns” are primarily accomplished by corrupt non-profits, or, wayward and corrupted government agencies, to acquire larger budgets, as well as donation-trains yearly, from what I referred to years ago, as a “disinformation vortex”. About time more people start discussing this situation.

1. Harvesting Wildlife, is not conservation of wildlife, in particular when wildlife is “killed” unnecessarily, and under the guise of falsified-evidence, with no fact-based-data evidence to back it up.

2. Today we deal with common paradigms that have no basis in sound science, from government and non-profits – which, in truth, are nothing more than simply “bad ideas” given to the public as reasonable options, often toward wildlife that are categorically falsely classified as “destructive” or “over-populated” – i.e. Wild Horses, Apex Predators, et al. . . with no truthful evidence to back it up.

3. That we must log our forests to keep them healthy or to maintain forest diversity; and that logging is a form of agriculture.

4. Many of these corrupted people always want us to believe that hunters, and state and federal wildlife and forest managers, are, by default, conservationists – yet, the data & facts quite clear on this also, as the truthful examples attest, we have more Wildfires yearly than we have ever had in American History, and more Wildlife going Extinct than ever before and on this Planet’s history, among more truthful data that contradicts their disinformation quite well, yet ignored.

5. The DOI/BLM and the USDA Forestry want us to think (via “Disinformation Campaigns also costing taxpayer’s money) Wild Horses cause severe damage on our Public Lands, when there is no-truthful-data that shows evidence of this to exist – and extreme populations of cattle show us, they destroy our Public Lands frequently, yearly.

This “disinformation vortex” I speak of here, begins when an idea from a special-interest group, a corrupted non-profit group, a government agency such as the DOI/BLM wanting larger budgets for a select-patronage of people or industries i.e. cattle industry, timber industry, or oil industry, et al..

Soon the disinformation then develops into a commercial, or advertising scheme, e.g. developed for future corporate sales schemes, i.e. corporate profits, larger yearly gov. budgets, or non-profit donation streams. This advertising landscape is nothing more than a manipulation to gain not just Public Interest, but to cognitively convince the general public it is a “truth to reckon with” before more destruction takes place in our Wilderness Areas . . .

This “disinformation vortex” comes with all the catch-phrases and misinformed categories of species that are the problem – when indeed there is no data collected nor developed into any truthful evidence, to back such information, what so ever.

We then obtain the obvious consequences of such bad disinformation, within the Wildlife Extinction Crisis ongoing today, the ever-present Wildfires yearly, the pollution of our lakes, rivers, streams, air, and even today “dirt” has become so polluted by pesticides and herbicides, that is has become toxic to vegetation, and within our nation’s yearly crops that, indeed, support America’s Food Chain.

We can no longer trust what is termed Peer-Reviewed Research Papers, as we discover, those doing the Peer-Reviews have severe conflicts of interest most often, and share in the monetary rewards, in grants of a complex donation stream circumstance. For example, today we see Pesticide and Herbicides industries, government research papers, and corrupted non-profits alike take advantage of the general public, within this same “disinformation vortex”.

Their profits and donation trains are based upon fraudulent Wild Horse Herd Counts (merely one example of many more), and falsified data, and leaving data out that would conflict with their ultimate obtaining of their government grant, or donation train, if the information shown to be inconsistent.

Which also brings to mind, the fact of the popularity, and low-budget framework, of short-term research being an acceptable practice within our Wilderness and Environmental complex. In particular when used to affirm data over a ten year, or even a twenty-year management paradigm, and funded as if a truthful set of data, with a high responsibility factor – which it is only another untruthful research paper, that would create negative consequences within our Ecological areas, but those involved would receive large profits over time.

As American’s we can do better. We can stand up to those who are stealing our taxpayer and donation money, and demand it too stop. As American’s we want our money to be spent on situations that provide resolutions to Environmental Conflicts, and for government, and others, to be truthful about them — The Consequences have become to great on the Shoulders of the American Public and Taxpayer’s of this land of “Ours”! There are no longer any virtues within our living standards, that can be accomplished by lies and disinformation.” — John Cox, M.A. C/M

“Wild Horses acquaint us with cultural heritage beyond commercialized human endeavors, and over a long history of doing so. Many of us built our life around The Horse, for this exact purpose, whether acknowledged or not.” — John Cox, Cascade Mountains

We are currently discovering “overlooked information” and over centuries of supposed fact-finding, in the matters of The Horse and Wild Horse historical events. Troubling, is the fact this situation shows a weakness in our ability, to accept facts as, well, simply factual. The Horse is a good case example, of acceptance or mental-denial, via bias or just plain ignorance. Myself and others have seen a tremendous amount of people, accept some things about Horses, and yet deny others, and ironically, have become horse experts within that same 10 minute conversation about horses — yet never been around horses, or owned horses, nor ever seen a wild horse. Yes, things are this bad in The Horse world of today . . .

The Science of Science

Divergence in Biology. The evolution of different forms or structures in related species as they adapt to different environments. An example of divergence is the development of wings in bats from the same bones that form the arm and hand or paw in most other mammals.

We are having a problem with the facts given to us over the years, from known bone piles, and ignored facts — that today’s Horses come from merely one group of horses, the Hyracotherium. As we discover diversity within bone structures as well as the skull, or femurs.

The modern day species of Equus (horses, zebras, and asses) have been around for about 2 million years. They are very different from the earliest known horse, Hyracotherium, otherwise known as Oehippus, or “Dawn Horse”. This ancient horse was a small, dog-sized creature that lived from 55 to 45 million years ago. The root of Divergence into . . .

What animal did horses evolve from?  The genus Equus, which includes all extant equines, is believed to have evolved from Dinohippus, via the intermediate form Plesippus. One of the oldest species is Equus simplicidens, described as zebra-like with a donkey-shaped head. The oldest fossil to date is ~3.5 million years old, discovered in Idaho. Area proximity with other bone-piles, tells us other forms of the horse, around the same period, much different, yet Divergence occurred similar — none the less, this find shows Horses to be Indigenous in the America’s (despite the complete fulfillment of today’s horse occurring at that time) from their very beginnings. Which is something overlooked, not just by government, but by many people.

The problem: Many of us think, after perusing tooth structure and jawbone structure from ancient bone-piles, as well as skulls, femurs, hooves, hips, and miscellaneous bone structures, between the Wild Horses, as they age through the centuries, that there was more than one, and very possible up to four prehistoric animals that Divergence took place from . . . Which formed the basis to eventually intersect through the centuries, creating the physical make-up of what we see today, as the Modern Horse. I will elaborate further on this entire subject, and fellow anthropologists, biologists, intermixed with Paleoanthropologists as well as molecular physicists, among other science people. The process of Darwin’s theories of Natural Selection, has placed into this same situation, also, and with amazing results we see today within the physical make-up of the Horse. . .

Need we not forget, the Genetics and alteration of the stature, both physically and mentally, is also a robust industry, with some good results, but there always appears that one or two problematic circumstances, that remain unacceptable. Humans are not good at genetics, but merely sell themselves as knowing what they are doing. This remains yet another problem we see today, in the Modern Horse.

What we have found is the inconsistencies of physical structure, over the ages. In another words, the divergence would not take place within some species, as their physical makeup, skulls, legs, and other physical structure, could not evolve as such. We then have many questions as to, over the centuries, how situations could evolve, through Natural Selection, and see many did not evolve at all, but extrapolates exist from them, within the Modern Day Horse. . .

Mostly the Wild Horses that have not been genetically-altered throughout the years through experimentation – the government for example, that becomes quite obvious they have no idea what they are doing in the sciences, as their science is merely special-interest-driven only – What we reference as Bogus Science, or Opinionated Studies, which lack definition, no base-information to derive facts from, nor evidence to develop proper management decisions from.

So taxpayers are being short-changed, so to speak, and we are not seeing, nor obtaining, the proper facts of Wild Horse History – but merely the shell, driven mostly by misinformation and disinformation campaigns to send the Wild Horses to Extinction. We need to create a Moratorium on Wild Horses, and save the remainder from further experimentation, from Fertility Controls as well as Genetically Altered circumstances (and the unintended consequences we all have to deal with, ultimately), ongoing as I write this.

We are losing a Cultural entity, in the name of bias and ignorance, and refer to Wild Horses as simply Feral, and can be tossed-out with daily garbage . . . The evaluation of a truthful Horse History is being thrown out – in America especially, for a foreign element, Cattle, which are not Indigenous – as we find daily now, our reintroduction to interpretation, through the mixed sciences, is showing the Wild Horses definitively, Indigenous to the Americas, and never mysteriously disappeared, at all.
