"The impulse to falsify the data fits in with the atmosphere of the Clinton administration, Mr. Pendley said. "The feeling in the Clinton administration was that you could play fast and loose with the facts if you were doing good and important things, especially when you saw the president lying about minor and inconsequential things."

Those who live in rural areas are especially frustrated when they hear federal experts offer findings that conflict with the local wisdom. "I mean, we know bears cross the road. We know where the lynx is. We've had families living here for generations ? we know where the wildlife is," Mrs. Thornton said.
Indeed. It's right in their backyards. Probably soaking in their hot tubs and sipping vodka gimlets. Local wisdom my eye. Local eyes and ears and noses more like it.

The lynx revelations, reported last month in The Washington Times, have also stoked the long-simmering feud between rural Westerners and the Eastern establishment, known as the "War on the West."

This is one aspect of this battle that I rarely see discussed--this divide and conquer by phoney euphuisms. We all know that the goal of the globalists and environmentalists is to bring about the collapse of the U.S. in order to bring on their one-world, utopian government. We know the environmental crap coming out of the UN is designed to push us into corridors they can control.

This is not, and has never been, an East vs West (in terms of the landscape) war. From where I sit (on the east coast), there are far more New Age land-grabbing gurus in the west than there are in the east. Neither is it a rural vs urban war. It is a Third-Way vs the United States war (even though it is taking place all over the world).

I just wanted to bring that up because I get a bit ticked off every time I see someone write about the "easterners" as though the east were the west coast.

Uh, you just might want to cast another look at that RED/BLUE map of the Bush/Gore election. The Northeast sold itself to the devil long ago, just to a different note of the "siren song of socialism" than the West Coasters.

The Democratic committee chairman said he was satisfied that the scientists meant no wrong, although two Republican members called for a continuing investigation, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Falsifying data on where Lynx live isn't wrong? Only a democrat!

"The perception is that something dishonest was afoot is hard to counter even if that perception is wrong," said the Post-Intelligencer in a Dec. 20 editorial.</>

Maybe, but it's even harder to counter when the crooks are caught in the act. The Post-Intelligencer seems to be saying here that it's okay to falsify research.

Perhaps where you sit is the problem

Two-thirds of the U.S. population lives east of the Mississippi with the largest concentration living in the North-East, that this region has the most power in congress is undeniable. In the minds of many who live some place else the North-East and the Federal Gov't are one in the same.

I can't say anything about the northeast, because I've never lived there. But I can tell you that the mid-Atlantic and SE battle is constant and has been going on for years. And we're losing. It doesn't seem to matter how many city council meetings you attend or who you elect. We win an occasional battle, but we're losing the war. The only good news is that more and more people are starting to notice.

Sorry for adding to your workload. Is there a push on FR to categorize articles more specifiacally than the posting topics? That's what I thought "Key Words" was for. I will try to be more specfic in the future.

I thought "biofraud" was a very catchy word; maybe one that would resonate with the larger public audience.

I think the general public has a sort of unrecognized, unconcious awareness that "something is not right with this picture" but has not yet focused on it. Maybe this will help concentrate attention on this subtle swindle.

If you have not signed the petition, DO IT NOW!

Stop Bio-fraud, Investigate ESA Input Data

If you are not sure what this is all about get the pdf file which is a compilation of news articles from various sources gathered on the internet. The sources are: The Washington Times, The Washington Post, The Seattle Times, Sierra Times, FOX News, Free-Market.net, Seattle Post-Intellengencer, The Boston Globe and the U.S. Forest Service and many more. It is an PDF format and you can get it here. lynxfraud.pdf

Grab the pdf and use it as a resource to write your congress critter or favorite news reporter. This really does need to be investigated. The only way it will be is to yell and scream about it. If the fraudulent taking of our public land does not interest you read no further, take no action.

Someday you will want to take your children or your grandchildren to a public forest and it will be off limits to humans to preserve the habitat for an animal that is NOT there.

UPDATE

I have updated the pdf file with the 9 more news articles on January 29, 2002. This thing is exploding with interest.

Sign the petition now! Let Congress know you want an investigation!

Rep. James Hansen (R-Utah), chairman of the U.S. House Resources Committee, and Rep. Scott McInnis (R-Colorado), chairman of the U.S. House Forest Subcommittee have requested that the Government Accounting Office (GAO) investigate the incident. Rep. McInnis plans to hold hearings before the Forest subcommittee this spring.

Scream Loud! Scream Now!
