There are two potential violators of man’s rights: the criminals and the government. The great achievement of the United States was to draw a distinction between these two — by forbidding to the second the legalized version of the activities of the first.” — 1963 essay “Man’s Rights”

Last evening I watched in horror of horrors, a government agency coerced an American Citizen and Taxpayer from giving her Public Opinion on a controversial circumstance of corruption and contempt, which is ongoing, on our Public Lands.

It was a Public Meeting, given by the Bureau of Land management, to go over the plans for a Wild Horse Herd Roundup. The key phrase here is it was a Public Meeting, so government and the general taxpaying public could contribute to a plan that affects America’s Public Lands as well as America’s Wild Horse Herds, and other wildlife on these same Public Lands.

Just as in Nazi Germany before WWII, Hitler and gang went on a robust and aggressive charge to rid Germans of their dignity – or redefine their dignity within a more “ability-to-manipulate” people, and still receive the virtues of money, power, and land from these same people. Ironically, we do not have to explore the history so much as watch as it unfolds today, within the Bureau of Land Management, Legislators, and corporations and directed toward the American Taxpaying and general Public!

The points here being the aggressive coercive bully tactics used, for example –

1. Holding Public Meetings for general Taxpayer and American Public input, then not allowing the input from selected individuals (they shut the input from the general public down after BLM and their supporters completed their input), and due to situations within BLM employee minds — simply the wrong people going to supply that same input, and the information, though contrary to the situation or plans at that moment, are truthful – and truth is not acceptable within the BLM, which is nothing more than a corporate franchise monopoly on America’s Public Lands, despite the majority of America Taxpayers disliking the situation in total;

2. The criminality, that is often brought up by the American Taxpayers, in this case those who the BLM call Horse Advocates within an attempt to lessen the impact negatively, certainly want the criminal aspects NOT to come out into the open at all, and references as well as many circumstances show beyond a reasonable doubt criminal activity has, and continues to take place;

3. Then we can get to welfare ranching and corporate intrusion and the spending of American Taxpayer’s dollars, yours and mine, in the billions, and only due to the protective elements that this government agency – the BLM and many legislator’s – refrains from simply deleting/void the antiquated and convoluted aspects that allow such government subsidies to be spent upon such non-beneficial as well as non-profitable elements, other than the welfare ranchers and corporations themselves making a lot of money for doing absolutely nothing.

When one considers legislators’ attempting to take away Social Security Benefits, Disabled Veterans Benefits, and other obtained benefits of necessities – i.e. the most tarnished is the school lunch programs for impoverished children, where legislators’ took that away from them in order to give more net profit to corporations and welfare ranchers (worse yet welfare rancher’s sales receipts less than 1% domestically and yearly, so American’s are only supporting net profit, nothing else in reality that is needed) – then America has a Problem – A big Problem that American Taxpayer’s need to know about!

And much worse – these people receiving these ill-gotten subsidies sitting in the crowd and actually Booing people that attempt to practice their 1st and 5th Amendment Rights of the Constitution of Our United States of America.

As a war Veteran myself, I am appalled and totally disgusted at this showing of such disrespect, such disregard to American Taxpayers and the use of their hard earned money for nothing but a scam, and the disrespect these welfare ranchers, BLM employees, and hotel staff has shown against not only the Taxpayers of this land, but toward our horses, our Disabled Veterans, and America’s Elderly folks who help build and nourish this country and America’s Rights to speak out against government agency perversions, subversions, and irresponsible conduct.

The necessity to discontinue the Bureau of Land management due to irresponsible conduct and severe criminality is obvious – earlier investigations found similar circumstance (i.e. 1990-1993 as well as in the early 2000’s) and the criminal aspect tremendous and going totally unchecked – No checks-n-balance systems regulatory devices in place what so ever to oversee this agency.

This is the same government agency that spent in excess of $650,000 in gift card expense last year. It was caught via the government voucher process and an inquisitive mind from another agency. The evidence disappeared, so no prosecution; although, the $650,000 was indeed spent, no one was held responsible for the disappearance, and no investigation was started, ongoing, or even done – other than a simplistic situation of noticing the money gone.

It is time – this government agency must be broken up, or must go away. America cannot afford this type of criminal behavior.

Many Horse-people have a vision – To save America’s Wild Horse Herds from harm and even death. Then return them to America’s Public Lands – This is the Vision of the Majority of Americans. . .

Occam’s Razor – the theory explained simply: Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily. We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances. The most useful statement of the principle for scientists as well as others is “. . . when you have two competing theories that make exactly the same predictions, the simpler one is the better.”

“. . .or, in the only form that takes its own advice. . . “Keep things simple!”

The fact humans have a vision of something, often very significant to us all and within all of our lives, that vision should never be lost. But the universe has a push-n-pull complex of many things. These things also do this to many people’s vision. Perceptions are irrelevant here, as well as life background, education, or even life-style. As it is the vision that pushes folks forward, and often encompasses something much better, far superior than anything within their life. Expectations abound!

It is when a person’s vision lacks something, which reality or what it is established upon, may be false – a deviation from the simple, to so complex, it becomes something of a non-value. Large corporations, government agencies, and simply large groups have this restraint, a death-grip so to speak on an individual’s visions of what is – and promotes what cannot be. As within largeness or vastness an individual spirit, vision, and unique traits are ripped away; then replaced by the mundane, fitting in, following the group, and apathy soon follows, which by the way is all promoted and awarded. The vision, sadly, is lost in total.

It is at this point, for example, government agencies of today, or corporate structures involving many personnel, dislikes vision – dislikes unique and especially a personal vision of right compared to wrong. As a vision, it becomes simply an unworkable methodology. It is then, within this grasp of imitation of nothing, that minds are lost, decisions made upon narcissism or worse, greed.

Then to cover up errors, many more problems created, and exponentially and similar to compounding logarithmically (i.e. Einstein’s Theories of the expansion of the Universe), just as nature would have it, and more problems abound. But nature is also designed for the ability to break things down to its simplest components, eventually to the core, or eventually to a single component that drives things forward. This can be positive — or it can be negative.

We can look for many resolutions, but it always comes down to the bare minimum, the simplest – Occam’s Razor. The fact is resolution very simple, and within the Wild Horse situation of today, very simple — government agencies and people are the problem, not the Wild Horses!

Simply take the Wild Horses out of holding, place them back onto Public Lands – Obey the laws that have been given to us over the past decades – whereas, sharing Public Lands and not destroying them remain the priority, and all is resolved.

One must ask, how did we all become so convoluted, so problematic, that now it is many horse advocates that are piling on and adding to the BLM and their already tremendous pile of created problems, has become reality. Within this realm, and beyond all else, the simplest and is and remains by far the most obvious right now in time — America’s Wild Horses face imminent Death! — John Cox – With A Vision-Saving Horses Not Hurting Them
