New Bush Nasties

[willoweyes]

what is bush up to?

Overturn a law re guns in National Parks. . .

rip off the top of the Mts. and toss them into hollars--1200 miles of streams innnundated already--let's increase. . . all for the sake of King Coal.

let truckers drive 11 hours a day

let's build coal fired plants next to Nat. parks. . . (this one i sort of like--let's rub the noses of the Rec.Veh. crowd in their poop, just like that puppy. . . .)

come on folks--let's hear your fav.

[suebee]

no one took up the bait when i posted about this willow. (i have to say i do like those vehicles one can sleep in or walk about in to get a glass of wine or view the soaring zion park peaks from the road out of. we'll just have to make them solar.)

how much damage can be done before obama/robert f. kennedy jr. can reverse it all? cant human protests delay it? ill go. just call me julia arches hill.

[Isaiah Mpski]

Oh God,where is your imagination?
About condos hanging from the Himalayas.or underground cities to the end when earth will be split into two comets or perhaps smaller planets.

This is as good a thread as anyother than one of the to talk about my little book and it's indroduction as some sort of creation-probably a movie,a fanclub I hope.
Yes,First I am in a bit of a mixed mood today.Sold an acre of the farm.I needed the cash and he has access to some fairly heavy equipment.
I can't help it SB.Without some reasonable settlement I'm afarid I'm going to have to piecemeal out the farm.

Anyway the movie-about God of course-the ultimate winner.
Two aspects-the mystery and magic of God as witnessed by studying the edges of the universe

vs

The stark realities of God expressed as Science and especially an egg doesn't get fertilized without a sperm.:(

The movie will be a series of still pictures giving a story while the only thing the audience will hear will be some classical music or song

The Moody Blues for Juan.

or Jefferson Airplane's Hijack the Starship.
my favorite-..have you seen the stars tonight.

The story will be expressed in at least three acts.
Act one will be the scientific story of the birth of Jesus and WHAT an impact it had on a youngster growing up in an occupied country while looking LIKE one of "the enemy"Jesus that must have been rough.

First of all the arabic word used to describe Mary called her a virgin in the sense she had no children.There is a totally different word that describes a woman who has never had sex.
There is a letter-widely published from Pilate to I believe Cesar who had a port named for him and for whom a GIGANTIC party was held once a year the time Mary got knocked up.
Oh,the letter describes Jesus-at his trial- as tall,auburn haired,green-eyed,balding.


Act II will be construcued to portarey the words of Christ,
...don't doubt my word.To get to heaven ye must be reborn.Reborn of the water(blood) AND of the spirit.
It will be filmed in the med school at Galveston.:)
The same character who plays Jesus in Act I will play the central character in Act II,a young med student and his wife who got married under all the wrong signs and all the wrong reasons and who LITERALLY ends up with some Orange Sunshine.:cool:

Act III-somewhere Q. Parker has to play in the award winning technicolored wraparound screen presentation. I urge to call up pictures and read all the history you can of him.He is the Link from the Asian mind captured by the white spirit.He lived to be 150 and I was lucky enough to be his physician and bodyguard.He shared his visions with me and talked little of the past.
The series of pictures willed be shown while the song-and I don't remember who sang it but I think the name of the song is
"Country Road" :D

[Isaiah Mpski]

Listen.I posted a good picture of Him on yahoo group PickOverFlow-photos-misc.:D
I still have the 4 ct stone in the bolo tie.
If you're really an expert with pixels and the like,compare the faces of Q.Parker and the gentleman i am acting as bodyguard for.
Ad yes,I was holding Mac 11-9 behind me.
Scar for scar.Mole for mole,but remember.Back then.Photos were reverse images.:hmm:

The population of an American icon is at levels some scientists are calling unsustainable; thank the federal government and the beef industry.
By Deanne Stillman

More than half of the countless horses that Spanish colonists brought to the Americas died on the way, thrown overboard to lighten the loads when the galleons sailed into calm seas along the equator. This part of the Atlantic is still known as the “horse latitudes.” Descendants of the horses that survived the treacherous crossings make up the herds of wild horses roaming the West today. And while nominally protected by federal law, they are still being sent to their deaths. This time it's at the hands of the US government.

Last month, a public outcry and a philanthropist's plan to relocate the horses earned thousands of mustangs a temporary reprieve from a federal “euthanasia” plan. But whether the wild horse can be saved is still in doubt; as I write, we are down to our last 23,000 horses on public lands in the western states. This is a number that experts say may not be sustainable.

Management of most wild horse populations in the US is assigned by the Free-Roaming Wild Horse and Burro Act of 1971 to the Bureau of Land Management, part of the Department of the Interior. When it comes to stewardship of wild horses, the feds have an abysmal record. Possibly as many as 30,000 wild horses were sold to slaughterhouses during the 1980's in a kind of deadly equine insider-trading. A grand jury investigation was held, but the whole thing was dropped; allegations that witnesses were scared off by profiteers still linger.

Today the situation isn't much better. Corporate ranching outfits still view the horses as pests that steal food from beef cattle (although with so few horses and more than 3,000,000 head of cattle on public lands in the West it seems the threat would be the other way around). Yet the beef industry's powerful lobby — along with those who want the land for gas, oil, and big game — has convinced the BLM to conduct more round-ups than are necessary to control the horse population. It's just one more example of federal environmental policy being overseen by people who really don't want one. The law does permit the BLM to conduct annual round-ups in designated "Herd Management Areas" — provided that proper population and range impact studies are regularly conducted in every area. But because of budget cutbacks the process is not always up to date, and thanks to the livestock industry the studies are often essentially fixed in its favor. Two years ago, a pair of BLM scientists resigned in protest after superiors pressured them into altering the findings of a grazing study to favor the viability of cattle and other profitable grazers on the land the animals share with mustangs. Moreover, increased gas and oil drilling on public lands has put wild horses — indeed the entire range habitat — at greater risk. And a sell-off of public lands in recent years has received scant attention but dangerously reduced wildlife habitat.

About 30,000 horses that have been rounded up are now wards of the federal government, awaiting adoption through a program set up by the BLM. With too few homes for all of these horses, the Government Accounting Office recently gave the BLM the go-ahead to kill the “excess” animals in custody, stating that keeping them was too much of a strain on the federal budget. Yet many of these animals should not have been taken from the land in the first place: In addition to the periodic cullings, the BLM often stages emergency "gathers," removing horses from their habitat during times of drought, citing lack of water for mustangs. This is clearly disingenuous because the horses are never returned to their home after being given a drink, nor is any other species routinely removed for the same reason.

Last month, with Thanksgiving just days away, the BLM was about to begin its execution plan to “save taxpayers money.” Suddenly besieged with over 40,000 messages of protest, the agency reconsidered. (In 1971, when Congress was debating whether to pass the law protecting wild horses, it received the second highest number of letters in its entire history up to that date; the most were about the war in Vietnam). Then Madeline Pickens, wife of Texas oilman T. Boone Pickens, intervened, announcing a plan to rescue the condemned horses and move them to a vast area on public lands in the West which she is currently trying to acquire. With the bell tolling for mustangs, the BLM announced it would table the mass execution for a year to give Pickens time to put her land deal together.

Unbeknownst to many, the horse is indigenous to this country; in fact it's North America’s gift to the world. During the Ice Age, horses went extinct on this continent — but not before heading across the Bering land bridge and populating the rest of the world. They were reintroduced by the conquistadors and have flourished on the American range for centuries. They were pressed into service to blaze our trails, fight our wars, and carry the nation westward. “We owe it all to God and the horse,” Hernando Cortes said after the Spanish had conquered the Aztecs. And so too, the United States — born in the hoofsparks of Paul Revere’s ride — would not exist without our devoted four-legged partner, the animal Native Americans called the wind-drinker. At the close of the 19th Century, there were 2,000,000 mustangs in the wild. Many of them were again sent off to war, culled for chicken feed and pet food, moved off by cattle and sheepmen, or simply shot for sport or by bounty hunters, who brought their ears to ranchers in exchange for a fee. By the middle of the 20th Century, wild horses were on their way out, reduced to fewer than 70,000.

When the wild horse finally gained federal protection, there were 50,000 on public lands in the 11 western states. Since the mid-1970's, the BLM round-ups have escalated, and George W. Bush — from the great state of Texas, where the wild horse once roamed by the millions — has overseen the rollback of the law protecting wild horses and nearly presided over the eradication of one of America's greatest icons from the animal kingdom. A 2005 appropriations bill that Bush signed included a rider attached by Montana's then-Senator, Conrad Burns, authorizing the BLM to sell wild horses more than ten years old (which isn't old for a horse) or that hadn't been adopted by the third try to the lowest bidder. This was code language for a trip to the slaughterhouse. With the now infamous Burns rider in place, the long-time goal of the livestock industry--reducing the wild horse to its per pound value - had finally been reached. For the first time since enactment of the landmark 1971 law, a number of mustangs were legally shipped to their deaths by the government that was mandated to protect them. Had it not been for a massive grassroots campaign which soon shut down the country's three horse-rendering plants (all foreign-owned) wild horses would have been trucked off by the thousands. (As it now stands, they - and domestic horses - can still be taken across the border to Canada or Mexico for slaughter, thanks to a hold that Republicans have placed on a bill that would stop that practice).

Contrary to statements made by government authorities, taxpayers don’t have a problem with wild horse preservation. In fact, it’s one of the few things many Americans agree on, as I’ve learned at my book talks around the country. “Wild horses merit man's protection," Richard Nixon said when he signed the 1971 act, ''for they are a living link with the days of the conquistadors, through the heroic times of the western Indians and pioneers, to our own day when the tonic of wilderness seems all too scarce. More than that, they merit it as a matter of ecological right — as anyone knows who has ever stood awed at the indomitable spirit and sheer energy of a mustang running free."

With the kill plan on hold, the wild horses in government custody will survive another year, and perhaps even find a new home on the range. The situation is living proof that when citizens step up — dare I say it? — our history is honored and good things can happen. While other battles remain (such as a moratorium on all round-ups until the BLM brings its studies up to date and government corrals are not overflowing again), the horse America rode in on endures--although for how much longer we cannot say.

Deanne Stillman is the author of the widely praised Mustang: The Saga of the Wild Horse in the American West, and the cult classic Twentynine Palms: A True Story of Murder, Marines, and the Mojave, which Hunter S. Thompson called "A strange and brilliant story by an important American writer," recently published in a new, updated edition.

You can help wild mustangs at www.wildhorsepreservation.com, through the International Society for the Protection of Wild Horses and Burros, and at www.returntofreedom.org. If you're short on cash you can work for the horses on a "volunteer vacation." http://www.charityguide.org/volunteers/vacation/wild-horse.htm [(willow want to go on vacation?)]

Damn, this caused my blood to boil. Or boil over--I'm at a perpetual simmer lately. It is sad; there is some vein in our make-up that makes us hate the free. This is not about need--this is about despising the untamed.

I can't wait to see how Keneau Reeves handles us in "The Day the Earth Stood Still"--only im afraid the moviemakers will come up with some smarmy trick to save humanity.

[sidecross]

I have come to the conclusion that the human species is just plain defective. We are just over 100,000 years old which for a species is quite short.

I doubt we will be here 100,000 years from now.

[Isaiah Mpski]

Probably sooner than that.
It is estimated that at least 25-33% of people who have aids,heb B and C don't know about it.
I think it will all hit at once-a pandemic on top of major natural catastrophe.
Careful thinking and planning are required hereout.

In regard to the wild horses,my people caught,tamed,and conqueored (taxed) everything from Southern Colorado to Quadalajara on horseback.
When my GGG Grandmother Cynthia Ann Parker was captured,the Indians could ride 100-150 a day and that was without saddles.

I am scared to death of horses.Something in a past life I quess.I guess that is why I'm balding too.GGGG G Father Parker scalped too many barbarians.

Listen SB.I've seen some of the land in Northern New Mexico where there are still wild horses.I seriously doubt the authorities can round them up without shooting them someway.That is where we have to strike the enemy.Make it illegal to capture them by harming them in anyway.I can't imagine how the Comanches did it.They probably got the babies and raised them but a horse,like a whore,can never be trusted.hmm

Great post SB.If you want to put up a fence on the farm and save some horses,feel free to do so.Better than that.Lets buy several hundred hectacres in Mexico and really let them run free again.

Karma seems to always catch up with our soul.
God forgive of my sins.:o

[suebee]

i think its called hubris. another dressed-up word for FEAR.

[Isaiah Mpski]

..fear of the Lord is the beginning of all understanding...

Geez.God knows Corrine could use the help.I'm sure she wouldn't let anything happen to you.

I mean,we all got to go sometime.We might as well enjoy while we are going.

Somehow-you,me Corrine,Willow,DC,SC and Crazy can pull it all together.
I personally think it will be in the form of a movie eventually.
Revelation tells us that at the time of the "end" there will only be 50 thousand(something like that) or so who really get the message.:eek:

I am trying real hard to do several things at once and now I've added Galveston to my list.Great Real Estate bargains there.Santa Fe too.And God loves the Pecos and the Benedictine monastary there.

motto-Good food,great wine,loose women.:rolleyes:

Oh,my God and Mexico and it's Pacific beaches.If we make enough money we could get us a super duper helicopter and spend all day fishing the Pacific and eat supper that evening in Santa Fe.


You see I get up everyday and one of the first things I do is think,
"What can I do today to fulfill another prophecy?"

I've got the tattoo mentioned in Rev 19:16.Had it for more than thirty years now.MM will testify to that.

I think the whole concept of mythology needs to be resolved.
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.that is-ye must be born again.
..all we need to have heaven on earth for all people is at our hand...
How could you possibly think I could hurt you?
Drink you to deathe,
smoke you to smithers
work your ass off.
Feed you to much steak and lobster.

Forgive me.I sometimes suffer from symptoms of Tourette's., but I'm certainly not a rapist or murderer in this lifetime.

It's colder than a bitch here today.Been doing nothing but holing up,reading med records,and eating Boston Market.


Oh and Crazy,Jim Hart lives on 73rd street,225-East.
Be careful though.He told me since making the movie CONTACT-he knows everybody that is anybody.

When we get the screenplay down on our movie I'll slip him a copy and maybe he'll help us.

[suebee]

i didnt mean you isaiah. i meant those who look at young mustangs as french steak, and purses and shoes for idiots with money. why cant the pine ridge reservation in south dakota take them in and turn the reservation into a dude ranch and teach millions of children to ride and learn stuff and quit killing themselves with missouri whiskey? WHY?
