This man is an American hero, a true conservationist, and a gentleman. Too bad he was so long in learning what he was dealing with in the environmental/regulatory racket.
The only crime this guy committed was working within a system dedicated to destroying what it is mandated to protect.
Unfortunately, the only environmentalist you can trust is yourself.
I have a whole bunch of Nat Geographics from the 50’s and 60’s. They are interesting reading (I’ve got to get rid of them, they take up too much room). But when you read them, you see how much we have changed, how different things were.
One article that intrigued me was a logging company in the US. They found a giant tree, one that was unusual and was extremely old. The logging company basically put a fence around it, and kept it untouched, brought people out to examine and photo it as a treasure.
My thought was, nowadays, with the interferences the the environmentals have pushed on business, would they have cut it down, rather than let anyone even know about it? I remember reading about people clearcutting their woods rather than run the risk of endangered animals being found on it.
Let's see now, how many 30 acre mini-ranchettes and 10 acre mobile home estates can he get out of that?
Fact 1: Man restores productivity to trashed out land he bought and paid for.
Fact 2: Man learns to raise and breed an endangered species so successfully that he can sell surplus animals to hunter, zoos, etc.
Fact 3. AgencyPersons and envirosocialists deliberately destroy the financial basis upon which the land and the animals are based.
What is happening here is just another example of “AGENDA UBER ALLES”.
The only cure for such abuses is to understand the core premises which make possible such vile abuse of a good man and his remarkable achievements.
So - what makes possible such abuses?
Answer: The Great UnNatural Acts.
No, NO! - no lame but accurate Clinton sex scandal jokes. Not even any Obama/Larry Sinclair jokes, either.
The “Great UnNatural Acts” are major legislative acts which are contrary to nature. They purport to do things which are contrary to nature. Because they are contrary to nature, they are doomed to fail.
You, and your children and their children, and theirs and theirs will pay for these UnNatural Acts. Our descendants will curse us for these, and they will have more than ample reason.
To start, examine the Wilderness Act. It defines “wilderness” as “an area of the Earth and its web of life that is untrammelled by the presence of man. Further, the Wilderness Act mandates protection of such areas.
The Wilderness Act is an “UnNatural Act” because we know that all of America was “trammelled” by man at least 10,000 years ago. Nor can it be recreated, as the “web of life” has adapted to being managed by man.
All species that could not adapt to the management imposed on America by early Man went extinct. That extinction is why “Wilderness” can’t be recreated.
Another core reason those conditions can’t be recreated is that we do not know what the “web of life’ was back 10,000 years ago.
For anyone even remotely curious about how complex the “web of life” is, just go to www.shemitta.com and look through the part titled “The Responsible Party”.
Then ask yourself why we are sending bureaucrats on a mission impossible and allowing said bureaucratic fools/wastrels to send the bill to our descendants.
The Founders knew government could not manage land. “Were we to be told when to sow and when to reap by Washington, we should soon want for bread” was said by Thomas Jefferson.
Government can’t manage land, and the uniformed clowns have just demonstrated they can’t do anything to a successful Oryx breeder except destroy his with their maze of laws/regulations and “swarms of officers”.
For Liberals and other such members of the “intellectually challenged” this oryx ranch and its AgencyPerson induced crisis is proof that life is complex, too complex for the rigidities of bureaucracy.
Do your self a favor and order a copy of Shemitta, read it and heed a commandment given a long time ago “Teach it diligently to your children”.
PS Thesuccessful management of land has been written down for at least the last 3,300 years. Allowing AgencyPersons, enviro-socialists, and underemployed lawyers to force violation of natural laws is, arguably, blasphemous, certainly doomed to failure, and unquestionably treasonous.
Why treasonous? Because America is based upon natural laws as the Founders based the Constitution on it, and their understanding of man’s nature and the history of previous governments.
To allow bureaucrats, their NGO enablers, and underemployed lawyers to take control of a man’s successfuly managed private land is to deny the core concept of private ownership of land.
Imposition of de facto socialism is de facto, if not actual treason.
I’m for hanging the bureaucrats, NGO enablers and, of course all lawyers involved in the abuses of the owner of the ranch under discussion.
PS I’ll bring a long bed pickup truck load of rope. Hanging all those members of the treasonous class will require lots and lots of rope.
Now don’t forget the popcorn, Ya’ all!
