Government & Corporate Evil: Ritual Animal Sacrifice under the guise of Michigan’s new Corporate created “feral” farm animal law. What do other state’s say about feral pigs?

“Does anyone know what it feels like to open fire on 20 baby piglets in one group which weigh between 5 lbs and 15 lbs? They are so adorable and cute.“-Dave Tuxbury, forced by the state to kill off his entire herd

Under the NAZI’s in Germany in the 1930s-40s, you could get thrown in a concentration camp just because of your physical features.  If you ‘looked’ Jewish, or Gypsyish, or ‘behaved’ like a homosexual, in you go.

Now the U.S. state of Michigan has created a law (with Corporate America’s help) that allows state officials to trespass on small farms and shoot to kill any pig that doesn’t ‘look’ right.

Farmers who do not comply will be charged with a felony crime!

“I’m one of two farmers in Michigan that has said we will not comply, and we have filed suit against the Michigan DNR [Department of Natural Resources] and we’ll probably go to court with them this summer.”-Mark Baker, Bakers’ Green Acres in Marion, Michigan

Corporate America farmers have convinced the Michigan government that small family hog farmers are a health threat.  That’s because many family run hog farms have bred their pigs in a way that produces better meat.

The Corporate America farmers can’t compete, because the pigs they use have been designed for their mass production style of operation, which means tasteless meat (that’s the real reason they call it “the other white meat”).

Anyone hunt wild boar?  The meat is red, not white.  The small family farms have bred hogs with red meat, they’re called Heritage Pigs.  Under Michigan’s new law they are now considered “Invasive Species”!

The irony is that these “invasive” or “feral” hogs are actually a better food source than what the Corporate America farmers can produce!  So how are they a threat?  They’re only a threat to the profits of Corporate America!

And the state of Michigan has already forced farmers to kill off their entire hog herd, under threat of prison time:  “I was served a search warrant yesterday at 7:45am.  After 8 guys, 3 four wheelers, and 4 hours, DNR decided I was correct. I have killed all my hogs. They gave me papers that say I do not have any hogs on my property. All they saw were dead hogs laying around from my mass slaughtering. It took 12 guys 4 times in there to kill all of them, sows with young, pregnant sows, dozens of piglets, and old mature boars. It has been a sad few weeks.    

Does anyone know what it feels like to open fire on 20 baby piglets in one group which weigh between 5 lbs and 15 lbs? They are so adorable and cute.

They commented to everyone that they never saw a fence built so tough and no way would a hog get out of this area. I trenched 2′ then installed chain link fencing, then a 10′ high tightlock fence on top of that. ( 200 acre area ) They never saw a fence like that.”-Dave Tuxbury, deer tracks ranch

This new law affects 2,000 farms and private hunting ranches!

Here’s an incomplete list of the types of pigs that Michigan now bans: Wild boar, wild hog, wild swine, feral pig, feral hog, feral swine, Old world swine, razorback, Eurasian wild boar, and Russian wild boar.  Basically the same list as used by the Federal USDA.

Michigan is not the only state with bans on pigs that do not meet the needs of Corporate America’s mass production facilities.  However, most of those states focus only on truly wild pigs, not the pigs that family hog farmers have bred for better meat.

The state of Washington says:  “It is unlawful to import, hold, possess, propagate, offer for sale, sell, transfer, or release feral swine.”

The state of New York says it’s hard to tell domesticated pigs from feral pigs: “Feral swine crossbreed readily with domestic pigs, which has resulted in a wide range of coat colors and body shapes.  Many look like typical wild boars, while others may be hard to distinguish from domestic pigs.”

While New York supports the eradication of feral pigs, they do allow “…anyone with a small game license may hunt and keep feral swine year round with no limit.”

In Texas wild pigs are so numerous that people are encouraged to hunt them and eat them.  But, keep in mind they’re talking about pigs running free in the wild, not some family farm operation!

Realize that Michigan is saying that they now consider certain farm raised pigs to be invasive, and therefore to be killed and not used for food!

World War 3: More U.S./NATO troops die, Karzai to join with Taliban, U.S. blames Spring Offensive on Pakistan

April 20, 2012, International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) confirmed that four U.S. led personnel were killed when a U.S. Black Hawk crashed in Helmand Province the day before.

Afghan officials say the helicopter was medivacing wounded Afghan police officers, who had been attacked by a suicide bomber, in the Garmsir district.  Local officials think the medivac went down because of bad weather.

There are reports that four Afghan policeman were killed after the suicide bomber exploded himself at a checkpoint.

Also in Garmsir district yesterday, a lone man attacked an Afghan military patrol.  He was detained.

The failed medivac operation was not part of a larger battle that took place in Helmand on the same day.  Afghan officials say that battle took place in Washir district.

Afghan officials claim to have killed 10 Mujahideen in that battle, along with the destruction of a mine production company.

Helmand saw other military/police operations such as an operation which tore up 1250 hectares (3088.817 acres) of farm land used for opium poppies.  The operation took place in Nad-e-Ali, Marjah and Sangin districts.

On April 19, 2012, the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, numb nuts Ryan Crocker, blamed the current Mujahideen Spring Offensive on the so called “Haqqani network” of Pakistan.

U.S. Defense Secretary, numb nuts Leon Panetta, also blamed the “Haqqani network”.

April 20, 2012, an Afghan politician says his opponent, President Hamid Karzai, is planning on creating a coalition government with the “Taliban”.

Ahmadzia Massoud says Karzai is just waiting for the U.S. led occupation forces to leave.

Ahmadzia Massoud is part of a group of Afghans that helped the U.S. commit war crimes at the beginning of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, such as the murder of truckloads of POWs, who were machine gunned and suffocated while trapped inside cargo containers (known as Dasht-i-Leili massacre).

The group is called National Front of Afghanistan, or Afghanistan National Front (ANF), and includes Mohammad Mohaqiq and Abdul Rashid Dostum.

Government Evil: Former USMC Vietnam veteran says Republicans behind Ritual Animal Sacrifice by military contractor Tier 1 Group. It’s bigger than anyone would guess

“There is a lot of money, a lot of big Republican politics behind this, a lot of power…”–Gordon Duff, USMC Vietnam veteran, responding to the whistle blower video showing gruesome animal sacrifice at the hands of U.S. military contractors!

Tier 1 Group founded in 2005 by Cerberus Capital Group (run by Steve Feinberg, aka Stephen A. Feinberg), who also owns Remington Arms, Bushmaster Firearms and DPMS Panther Arms.

Cerberus gets its name from the ancient Greek multi-headed dog who guards the world of the dead.  It’s job is make sure those who die never escape to be re-born.

Republican Dan Quayle is a promoter of Cerberus Capital group.   John W. Snow (former Bush Jr administration) is chairman of Cerberus. Donald Rumsfeld has also worked for Cerberus.

Cerberus and Bernard L. Madoff worked together to take over and rip off other corporations.  Cerberus also runs the infamous DynaCorp.

Prominent U.S. Marine Corps veteran Gordon Duff says this animal sacrifice is all part of secret evil Republican agenda: “…hundreds and hundreds of defense groups, or military contracting groups set up by the people in the Republican Party.”

The question is: Why?  (The rational minded USMC veteran, Gordon Duff, couldn’t hazard any speculation on why such a thing is being done)

Government Evil: Sadistic U.S. military contractor practices Ritual Animal Sacrifice in the name of “training”, your tax dollars paying for it! Dare to watch the gruesome video

A U.S. Coast Guard whistle blower secretly videoed the gruesome animal sacrifice done by military contractor Teir 1.

The video was posted on YouTube, but is deemed so gruesome you must confirm you’re an adult to watch it!

In the name of conducting medic training for the U.S. Coast Guard, Teir 1 contractors used knives, guns, chainsaws, axes, and other torture devices to slowly and painfully kill goats.

The goats are alive when the ritual torture begins.  They break bones, cut off limbs, slash and stab various parts of the goats, and even shoot them in the face.  You can see and hear the goats in pain.

You can also hear Teir 1 personnel laughing about it.

Here’s the thing, supposedly the U.S. Army’s Rascon School of Combat Medicine, at Fort Campbell, does not use animals in its training program and has even publicly stated that “training on simulators is more realistic to providing care for a person than training on animals.” Supposedly the U.S. Air Force’s Center for Sustainment of Trauma and Readiness Skills, and the U.S. Navy’s Trauma Training Center, do not use animals.

So if “training on simulators is more realistic” why is a military contractor committing ritual animal sacrifice?  Because the United States is full of sick M-F-ers!!!

If you don’t want to go through YouTube’s adult verification you can see the gruesome video here, I dare you!

Government & Media Hypocrisy: South Korea reveals new Cruise Missiles aimed at North Korea; where’s the outrage, where’s the sanctions, where’s the UNSC resolutions?

April 13, 2012, North Korea launched a satellite (not a ballistic missile as western media continued to report!), which ended in failure, yet didn’t fail to bring world wide condemnation.

April 19, 2012, the U.S. puppet South Korea revealed they have developed new weaponized cruise missiles specifically for use against North Korea!  They have also inadvertently revealed they have ballistic missiles as well!!!

Under a deal with the United States, South Korea is forbidden to have ballistic missiles with a range of more than 299 kilometers (186 miles).

The revelation comes in the form of a video, released on April 18, 2012, showing the launch of two missiles (watch the video here). The beginning of the video shows the launch of a short range ballistic missile, the next missile launch is a GLCM (Ground Launched Cruise missile).

South Korea based their new cruise missile on the U.S. nuclear armed Tomahawk missile.  South Korea revealed the truth after media reports forced the government to acknowledge the missiles.

This comes after proposed U.S. food aid to North Korea was canceled because of a non-weaponized satellite launch by North Korea!

Government & Media Hypocrisy: India launches purpose built Ballistic Nuclear Missile; where’s the outrage, where’s the sanctions, where’s the UNSC resolutions?

April 13, 2012, North Korea launched a satellite (not a ballistic missile as western media continued to report!), which ended in failure, yet didn’t fail to bring world wide condemnation.

April  19, 2012, India launches its first purpose built Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), yet no one cares?   India has nuclear weapons, yet no one cares that they’ve successfully tested a true missile designed to carry nukes?

Here’s what the western members of the UN Security Council had to say about North Korea’s 4th non-weaponized rocket launch: “…[it’s a] provocation, threat to international stability, and another violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions.”

On April 17, 2012, the UNSC increased sanctions against North Korea for launching a non-weaponized rocket!

Here’s what the UNSC said about India’s first ICBM launch:

Yeah I thought so you hypocritical SOBs!!!

World War 3: More proof of U.S. Command breakdown; U.S. troops release more pics of themselves posing. Battles rage on, U.S. led NATO needs $4 billion! Rumors of NATO breakdown

April 18, 2012, Australia’s announced early withdrawal from Afghanistan has created rumors of U.S. led NATO breakdown.

For one thing, Australia is not a member of NATO, it is a “contact country” (as is Japan) which will sometimes support NATO action.

NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and Australia is not in the Atlantic.  However, it’s the growing number of NATO “supporting” countries who are not geographically in, or near the north Atlantic, that has Russia accusing the United States of using NATO to expand its empire.  Also the fact that NATO was originally created to “counter the threat of the Soviet Union”, yet 20 years after the demise of the Soviet Union NATO is still around and more active.

However, even if Australia is not a full member of NATO, on April 17 NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Australia’s early withdrawal was “fully within the framework” of the U.S. led NATO plans.

Here’s another ‘however’: Germany’s Defense Minister, Thomas de Maiziere, said “Australia’s message surprised me.”  Germany is one of the oldest members of NATO.

Yet more ‘however’:  NATO Secretary General Rasmussen added to the confusion by saying “All 50 allies and partners within the ISAF coalition have committed themselves to the basic principle of ‘in together, out together’.  And I know that the Australians are committed to that principle as well.”

So is Rasmussen saying all the occupying forces are going to leave a year early, or is he saying Australia is bluffing?

Here’s what recently resigned, former commander of Australian forces in Afghanistan, said:  “There is an unpleasant whiff of politics and self-interest in the strategy to withdraw American, Australian and other foreign combat troops from Afghanistan by 2014 or earlier. The electoral cycles of nations contributing troops to the fight in Afghanistan mean that politicians everywhere are looking for the exits.”-Major General John P Cantwell

By the way, New Zealand officials are now saying they will pull out troops a year early as well.

To make things even more confusing, on April 18 NATO officials accused each other of not paying their way: “I would expect NATO allies and ISAF partners to commit themselves to pay a fair share of the total bill.”-Anders Fogh Rasmussen, NATO Secretary General

Rasmussen hinted at probably the real reason why many NATO members, and their supporting countries, are trying to get out of Afghanistan early: There ain’t no mo’ money!

Rasmussen said in order to continue the U.S. led military occupation of Afghanistan it will take an estimated $4billion USD per year!  His answer is to turn things over to the Afghan government ASAP: “It is less expensive to finance Afghanistan security forces than to deploy foreign troops in Afghanistan.”

Here’s what I say: No shit Sherlock, and obviously our highly edumacated and wealthy elite leaders did not learn a goddamn thing from the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan back in the 1980s!!!  Anybody remember what destroyed the Soviet Union?  Economic collapse due to military involvement in a war they could not win in Afghanistan (which was part of U.S. plans to destroy the USSR).

The political ho downs of NATO prove that this so called War on Terror is a war totally of the machinations of political elites, which is a violation of a thousands year old rule of warfare: “…He will win who has military capacity and
is not interfered with by the sovereign [political rulers].”  also “No ruler should put troops into the field merely to gratify his own spleen; no general should fight a battle simply out of pique….”-Sun Tzu

And here’s what the warrior master Sun Tzu says about the technological superiority of the United States: “Even the finest sword plunged into salt water will eventually rust.”

And about long wars:  “There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare.”

Now to the latest evidence of U.S. military command failings.  A U.S. Army soldier has given the Los Angeles Times 18 pics showing troops in Afghanistan posing with the Afghans they killed.

Gee, we’ve been there done that before.  Of course our military leadership is blaming it on rogue troops, and will “investigate”.  No, this is the fault of our leadership; shit rolls downhill, you idiots!!!

Another proof of failed leadership is the many pics of U.S. troops with prominent tattoos which is a violation of the UCMJ.

Here’s what Sun Tzu has to say about that: “If words of command are not clear and distinct, if orders are not thoroughly understood, then the general is to blame. But, if orders are clear and the soldiers nevertheless disobey, then it is the fault of their officers.”

In other words it is always the fault of the command structure!!!

And yes, the battles rage on.  April 17, in Nangarhar Province local officials say anti-drug operations turned into a big battle.  The provincial governor said Mujahideen, and even farmers and villagers, attacked Afghan and U.S./NATO/ISAF forces.

The battle was big enough that airstrikes were called in.  Government officials claim at least 10 Mujahideen killed.  The governor said the battle actually started three days ago when the anti-drug operations began.

U.S. Media Confuses: Home Construction actually dropped, blame the Too Big to Fail Banks

One U.S. media headline stated “…Housing Starts Remain Unchanged…”, yet when you read the article it actually admits that construction starts, for March 2012, have declined by 5.8%.

The overall decline was led by a 16.9% drop in construction of multifamily homes.

Construction reps blame the bad economy caused by the too big to fail banks not wanting to lend money to the working class: “…builders remain very cautious about starting new projects until they see more actual sales materializing. At the same time, in places where buyers are ready to go forward with a purchase, access to credit for both builders and buyers and difficulties in obtaining accurate appraisals are persistent challenges that continue to slow that process considerably.”-Barry Rutenberg, National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)

Another article pointed out that March is the second straight month with such a big drop in housing construction projects.  It was also not expected by the economic “experts”!

So what’s the real info?  According to the April 17, 2012, Joint Release U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development PDF, March 2012 housing starts are 5.8% down from February, yet up 10.3% from March 2011.  So; a drop from month prior, an increase from year prior.

World War 3: More attacks in Afghanistan, Australia decides to leave a year early, female students poisoned

April 17, 2012, Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, says most of her country’s Diggers will leave Afghanistan by the end of next year. That almost one year early.

Australia has about 1,500 military personnel in Afghanistan.  Gillard says the pullout is because she believes security has improved so well that most occupying forces can move from combat to a purely “support” role.

In Takhar Province dozens of female high school students were made ill, after their drinking water was poisoned.  About 100 girls are reporting illness.

Local police are investigating, but so far they don’t know what’s in the water to make people sick.

In Kandahar, Uruzgan and Nangarhar provinces, Afghan police and soldiers were ambushed and wounded.

In Kandahar, officials will not give details, but it sounds like a typical search and destroy mission got ambushed.  Officials claim to have confiscated dozens of weapons.

No details at all about the Uruzgan operations.

In Nangarhar, police were injured after a firefight with Mujahideen. Officials claim the police were carrying out anti-drug operations.

Officials say in all incidents the Mujahideen got away unharmed.

In Nimruz Province an Afghan National Army vehicle ran over a mine, killing two soldiers.

What Economic Recovery: “Developed Country” status for Japan to end, could officially regress to “Less-Developed”

The Japan Business Federation’s 21st Century Public Policy Institute is warning of not only a collapse of the Japanese economy, but a regression to “less-developed” country status.

That would put Japan behind India, as India’s economy counties to boom.

Analysts blame Japan’s fall on an ongoing population exodus, and money exodus, both caused by the March 2011 natural and ongoing nuclear disasters (gee, maybe nuclear reactors are not good for the economy?).

The analysts say that even in the good scenario, Japan’s economy will shrink drastically and by 2050 will drop to 28th in world Gross Domestic Product rankings.

However, the analysts say one way the government can slow the fall, is to drastically increase taxes!  That seems counter productive, as I think it would cause even more people to leave Japan (as is happening in the United States).

By the way, Japan is a member of the Trilateral Commission (Europe, North America, Japan/Asia), whose goal is to establish a singular privatized government system that is seemingly created in response to severe economic and “natural” disasters.
