  The so-called paradox of freedom is the argument that freedom in the sense of absence of any constraining control must lead to very great restraint, since it makes the bully free to enslave the meek. The idea is, in a slightly different form, and with very different tendency, clearly expressed in Plato.  (i.e. see notes below)

I have listed here 42 DEATHS – 42 Wild Horses that BLM employees and Contractors out of Burns, Oregon (i.e. Murderer’s Creek, Oregon) have killed –

Incompetence? – To say the least — BAD management? — What Management?

This is what most of us experienced Horsemen and Horsewoman are asking, that is, those without an agenda — those without wanting to exploit America’s Wild Horses and want to leave them be — in their Natural Environment, which also happens to be our Public Lands – which there is more than enough room . . .

As those who know Horses, myself Included, these are unacceptable numbers, this death rate percentage I mention here — and we have not begun to explore the Helicopter roundup realms in Oregon, as we are still putting together those highly self-explanatory numbers as well . . .

Here is Reality Folks – Time for BLM and their Bastard Contractors and Supporters to get out of the business of Managing America’s Icon’s — the Wild Horses!

BAIT AND TRAP – Murderer’s Creek, Oregon 47 Wild Horses Killed — A 15% Death Rate – Murderer’s Creek – between Oct / 2012 thru July / 2014

What has been of interest to us all is the types of injuries that happen at this particular Bait and Trap Site . . . Some of these 42 horses were foals, and the Dangerous Horse they describe above, AND IN ACCORD WITH THEIR OWN PAPERWORK, WAS A FOAL CLOSE TO A LITTLE OVER 6 MONTHS OLD AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL.  Dangerous, THEN SHOT?

We are discussing here a 15% Death rate, which is an ongoing situation at Murderer’s Creek.  There is no apparent reasoning provided other than the trapping of Wild Horses; so one of the Supervisors says, with a Howdy-Dooty smile, teeth glowing white, smelling like Ivory soap, with a stench of lie that hangs off his every word.

Let’s keep in mind this is what BLM supporters, AWHPC, Freedom for Horses, Wild Horse Education, and even HSUS state clearly to all, that everything is okay and BLM employees are to be trusted?   I know for a fact they are not, as well as many others, and if this is the type of info that BLM and their supporters are dispersing, then I am sorry, they do not know much about Wild Horses, or ethics, or truth for that matter!

TAXPAYERS HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF BLM AND THEIR SUPPORTERS! AND THAT IS A FACT!  Right here and right now we are discussing a minimum of $47,000 taxpayers paid to have BLM’s unqualified contractors and BLM staff Kill America’s Icons, the Wild Horses from Murderer’s Creek, Oregon!

This is a Death-Toll of15%, and between the dates shown above. . .  we are talking unacceptable situations for the Wild Horses – The question is, are they loading them up on KB’s trucks and taking to Slaughter to Canada and Mexico, then listing them as Dead? – Or are these in fact Dead Wild Horses.  Both Reasons Unacceptable and Criminal!

Reality and Conduct

We have no idea about what is the truth, because the BLM employees simply lie about everything, and has done so for decades now — to include when they moved pioneering families out of their homes along the Rogue River. . . Yes, they gave those families two weeks to leave their homes (even though 99 year leases still in effect and legal) — then two weeks later BLM crews come and bulldozed the homes over, then torched the piles of wood and splinters — BONFIRES OF HOMES.  Families watched, with tears and emotion, their entire lives go up in smoke, their possessions, and their pride.  BLM employees, well known at that time as mobsters.

.What we do know as facs, is that the BLM Supervisory Staff, as well as the private contactors at Murderer’s Creek and in Burns, Oregon, does indeed know personally several individuals that own Kill Buyer trucks and trailers, and the actual Kill Buyer’s personally.  This also includes a couple of well-known self-proclaimed Horses Brokers, and on a personal basis –

We also know, via witnesses, that the BLM Supervisor over the Murderer’s Creek Trap and Bait Site had received a briefcase from a Known KB at that time, and via several witnesses at that location . . . there is more, but will go into that later . . .

An Unacceptable Death Rate

Advocates are extremely concerned at this 15% Death Rate at one Trap and Bait Site at Murderer’s Creek – Criminal behavior? Incompetence?

There exists simply a burden here, to Oregon Taxpayers as well . . . we add this $47,000 paid to the private contractors, and the horses killed — then add another $42,000 from 42 more missing Wild Horses, and surprise-surprise, out of Murderer’s Creek, Oregon, that in accord with paperwork never made it to the Burns corrals after capture.  But you dam well better believe those private contractors got paid for their capture, and had something to do with the disappearance of them all as well.  A KB’s truck and trailer will often take ten, some larger trailers will take twenty wild horses at a time.  This is theft, Grand Larceny, and Fraud in accord with Federal Law — take your pick . . .

How long are we going to tolerate this government agency, this abomination of people that abuse, even kill our American Icon’s on a continuous basis?  Not only that, but in this tragedy we are also looking at $89,000 paid to the contractors and by BLM employees, for their criminal behavior.  As a taxpayer, I feel this is not only wrong, but the criminal behavior should be approached, and arrests made, and BLM employees fired.  After all, enough is enough, and we simply perused a small amount of BLM paperwork and inventory to obtain this information.

Actually, it is not just my opinion here in Oregon about what to do with this situation.  It is a broad and well diversified people in Oregon, and we want honesty in government, not criminals.  And we all want our tax money used for Good, wholesome things, and not pay for criminal behavior or to kill Wild Horses that we all so much enjoy watching on our Public Lands.

By the Way, copies of this as well as much more information is currently making its way to the Justice Department — But myself and others wanted the taxpaying public, the owners of this country, to know what one of our government agencies is up to, and has been for quite some time now . . . Decades now, as a matter of fact.

NOTES:  Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. — In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law, and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal.”
― Karl Popper, The Open Society and Its Enemies

 The politicians and government are simply there to support what American’s want; instead, they constantly reinforce the fact they, and corporations, are first within the order of priority, and must control everything. Their control creates ignorance, as lies and deception cannot develop into anything of reality what so ever, we see it daily now. This country was developed and we all fought for The People and Life here to be the Priority – government and business was to support these endeavors.” – John Cox

Here’s the thing, for people to say they are religious, or spiritual, or academic, or advocate, whatever the case may be, there must exist validity. If any of these terms, vocations are to have validity, that gap between the real and the ideal cannot be so unbridgeable that it all simply becomes pie in the sky. There’s got to be a chance for justice on Earth.

We are not fooling ourselves, or any one else for that matter; as much of what many of us write today, we have become the point of the arrow of social revolution. But with such a bland world currently, where ignorance profoundly has experienced social growth, a social revolution could also mean simply getting back to quasi-normal, or less ignorance and more toward something of a dignified and humane culture.

The process is dependent upon the individual, the contract within themselves so to speak. Thoughts can be mundane, ordinary, or simply workable; or, the process can be extraordinary, enlightened, workable in an abstract way, but in time so tremendously acceptable it indeed becomes an evolutionary act – Zen and the history of the screwdriver, if the written historical form even exists . . . but oh my goodness, the changes that transpired and built off such a tool . . .

With many of us there exists no difference between spiritual practice, political action, animal advocacy, and our ongoing day to day life. One good example that I experience and see daily — Horse people tend to their horses, and those with heart and soul have time to also give toward saving horses. The same with many other groups of people – oddly, none of them have developed the mind-set that so many active groups do day-to-day; there exists today a sub-culture within our society, of those that care-tremendously and yet feel so disconnected.

If this realm, or culture, if all decided to gather together, the numbers alone of this particular sub-set or sub-culture could, and obviously should, become a power where people and animals become the priority, business and corporations secondary and support people-animals endeavors. Yes, revolution is this simple, and only when applied becomes Truly Revolutionary.

Learning from Animals

Is the revolution of this type going to be earth-shattering? It is clear to many, others perhaps not so clear and even non existent; ironically, the answers right to our front. Just as ironic, the answers have been, and continue to be right in front of us all. But we are killing the very animals that we can indeed learn significance from . . . Cohabitate in Life . . . We are all creatures of this planet, all live on this planet, and none superior to the other  . . . Look where superiority gets us!  Look at the destruction of our planet, from our decisions . . .

What was clear for centuries past becomes very clear today. People contribute little to the animal world compared to what animals have contributed to our world, and in reality to our very environment (yet ignored often). Oddly, the disrespect toward animals currently generate suffering, horrific abuse, and death of so many species on a weekly basis that our culture, of ignorance, is placing our very existence into question for any type of future generations to even exist. All wildlife remains an essential element in our society, as well as environmental habitats.

Through all of this there is a light at the end of this tunnel of destruction caused by ignorance. Many today, as Advocates – oddly just as simply as the screw driver appealed toward evolutions of machinery and so many other implements, people concerned with animals and their circumstance, are revolutionary.

These are actions that are needed for America — perhaps why our current government is fighting tooth and nail to avoid such transparent ongoing revolution. As Buck would say, “. . . just let that soak in for a minute or two . . .”

Right now we can appreciate, and even acquire a deeper respect for what animals have given us and remain giving us today – the capacity for enlightenment, to discover our very heart and soul and through this simple act of caring. Looking into the eyes of an animal of any type, we can see ourselves, our virtues, our very soul . . . from then onward we gain a respect, an acknowledged appreciation for the presence of the animal kingdom. In the same pretense, we have also gained a sight into what is wrong today, and surely needs corrected.

The use of drugs on our Wild Horses on our Public Lands, depletes the viability (fact and well referenced in wildlife and ecological history), and opens the door to exploitation of a very limited amount of used-to-be Wild Horses, as an end-product. Breed control has led, most often at such a capacity the Wild Horses are now suffering, to extinction – history of our wildlife within today’s environment clear on this ultimate-reality – It will lead to the Extinction of our Wild Horses as well – Shortly.

Animal Non-Profits not of a humane-mindset any longer, but an odd ignorance toward planned exploitation and contrived profits at the sacrifice of wild horses. As well, these same non-profits portray daily the lack of ability or mobility to really grasp the plight the animals are currently suffering – the Wild Horses on Public lands just one of many more examples of our wildlife being exploited, and for several reasons.

This exploitation even to the point of being hunted down and killed (Elk, deer, Cougar, Bear, et al.) — both legally and illegally, and numbers of availability based on false science and bad data gathering — Yes, we are facing many extinctions today of America’s wildlife, based on false reasons of capacity, and favored animals in the wild are nothing more nor less than a narrow scope of species, also to be hunted down and killed — ultimately to make trophies for those of ignorance to do so . . . This priority needs changed, and the quicker the better . . .

The modern social capacity toward ignorance, although, has brought a widening gap between us. The forests and the animal kingdom are over there, and the supposed civilized world over here in the cities and small towns.

Protection in numbers, for people, is the consideration for the cities, but from what? The animal kingdom? Government and municipal government are and remain much more dangerous to people than the animal kingdom — just read the newspapers or watch the news daily. Isn’t perception and propaganda interesting —

Sometimes in accepting the world, the chapter of what animals bring to us as fellow living beings on earth and how we are all connected, is overlooked; an ongoing travesty for sure. The world of intellect does not consider the heart, the soul, or the animals. The shift is the realization that we all grew up in the realms of nature, of animals, of a diversity of natural elements – not just smart-phones, guns, oil companies, abusive agriculture and corporations, and computers . . .

A New Humane Balance of Life is needed

The Circle of Life has always, and remains, very significant with many cultures and societies’, we are not alone within this ideology — A Truth: everything being connected within this circle.  The world is being challenged to find a new balance. Many are looking back, toward the cultures that understood and reflected the facts of “all” on this planet are connected, and all things must be respected – this being a priority.

With this as a priority, all other circumstance fits into place, within continuity if you will, toward a much better life for all that exists on this planet – animal species and environment alike. The ideology of one-supports-the-other independently and yet as a whole – is a reality, and something that can save the human-race from becoming more ignorant than currently exists, which this ignorance will eventually wipe-out the human population on this planet.

Our society has become so bland; it is folding in upon itself — suction. We see cruelty to animals promoted as attrition in order to place food on our tables every morning and evening. That is simply not true – just from the untruth within this situation, many to include myself perceive a burst of energy from those who see it as a wrong, not of attrition nor necessity.

It is those things that will change rapidly; it is simply a matter of time is all, when people are totally fed-up with the lies, the ignorant reasoning, and the forfeiture and sacrifice of all the things that are good, the things in our society that we all hold dear and close to our hearts — replaced by something so ignorantly profound or short-term profit for so few – at the sacrifice of so many.

The revolution is upon us – All is connected on this Earth, and these are the things of importance and priority, and more and more people are realizing this truth – all else will simply come together, and life will mean something once again . . . * * * From the Cascade Mountains to You
