An article in "OutThere Colorado" recently noted that a coalition against the translocation of wolves into Colorado is claiming that wolves carry coronavirus, which provides yet another reason not to promote the proliferation of these apex predators into the state. While a quick Google search reveals that many veterinary disease experts claim that the type …

So far, no one has been able to answer the question, "Where did the COVID-19 virus come from and why is it so uniquely suited to humans?" Was this virus lurking for millennia in some unknown animal host and, when the opportunity and conditions were just right, suddenly became able made to make the species …

By now, everyone knows about the importance of “social distancing” when it comes to fighting disease transmission. The recommendation to keep our distance and practice good sanitation is just as true for the flu bug and the common cold as it is for the recent coronavirus outbreak. But there is a case to be made …
Jay Inslee has helped Washington state forge deeper economic and political entanglements with the communist government in CHINA than any other state in the union. According to Greater Seattle Partners's CEO Brian P. McGowan, “Our connection to China is critical to the greater Seattle economy. More than two dozen Chinese businesses already have a presence …

As the number of bodies keep piling up, many of the leaders in the environmental community are, if not openly cheering the current COVID-19 pandemic, at least pointing out some of the pandemic's positive environmental benefits. News reports claim that pollution in New York has been reduced by nearly 50% because of the measures instituted …

Mention vaccines and you're sure to get some strong opinions. Mention government mandates for vaccines, and you better be prepared for a fight! Regardless of your own personal opinion about vaccines or government mandates, (pro, con, ambivalent, etc.), its a safe bet that when a COVID-19 vaccine does become available there will be millions of …

"Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child." [Proverbs 22:15a] Most of us are aware of how Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg has become the world's foremost voice on climate change. Credit, or blame, (depending on your view), goes out to all those teachers, including her parents, who apparently have no shame in exploiting Greta's …

During Aurelia Skipwith’s confirmation hearing before the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, (Sept. 11, 2019), Ms. Skipwith was asked how her faith would affect her job if she were to be confirmed as the newly appointed head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The question obviously caught Skipwith off guard as she …

A mere four years ago, the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda (SDA) treaty was signed by leaders from 193 nations, including President Barack Obama. However, the outlook for reaching any of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) over the course of the next 11 years are increasingly pessimistic. If you are not familiar with these 17 goals, …

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

Oregon State University is offering a degree program called, "Global Trophic Cascades." The program ushers in a new low in educational standards as students will now be focusing their instruction entirely on ideology rather than sound natural resource management science. Graduates of the new program, which is part of OSU's College of Forestry, will …

The 2019 Wildlife Corridors Conservation Act (WCCA) is perhaps the most significant attack on private property rights in decades, perhaps ever. A simple look at the list of sponsors of the proposed legislation provides plenty of warning about what this new law portends. The WCCA was introduced in Congress in May 2019. In the Senate, the […]
Washington State Public Lands Commissioner Hillary Franz is celebrating the fact that Cooke Aquaculture has agreed to pay a $332,000 fine to the Washington Department of Ecology as a result of an accidental release of tens of thousands of farmed Atlantic salmon into Puget Sound. Cooke agreed to pay the fine with the understanding that …

So I had a knee jerk reaction and blocked a comment that someone tried to post on my blog page this morning. I considered the comment rude and of no value, and somewhat insulting, but in hindsight, I should have posted it. Unfortunately, once a comment has been deleted permanently from the WordPress blog system, …

The PBS documentary “In the Valley of the Wolves” and the hugely successful Sustainable Man production “How Wolves Change Rivers”, have combined for over 200 million views. Since both of those films obviously provided most of the talking points for the much anticipated 60 Minutes segment, “The Return of Wolves to Yellowstone Park”, it was …

The most important court case in the history of wildlife management in the United States is about to unfold. Based on a scientific assessment of the true biological status of gray wolves, the Trump administration is making moves to delist the species throughout the entire U.S. and simultaneously turn over all management responsibilities to the …

Hydropower is defined as energy derived from water flowing through a turbine. Dams provide a dependable source of hydropower. This article addresses the debate over whether or not hydropower should be considered a “renewable” and/or "sustainable" energy source. The answer depends as much upon your location as who you ask. In Sierra Club board rooms …
Undoing the damage caused by REWILDING propaganda films such as “How Wolves Change Rivers”, (which has now reached over 80 million views through multiple postings on Youtube), has proven to be a daunting and perhaps futile endeavor. Millions of people are now convinced that wolves are "good" and "necessary" for the environment because of their …

Last fall, Malheur County Sheriff’s deputies investigated and confirmed six cattle depredations by wolves in a two month time span. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife officials say the cattle were killed by “other causes”, which leaves the ranchers without the option to collect compensation for their losses as provided for in the state’s Wolf …

The sale of Avista Utilities to Hydro One is nearing the final hurdle. Does it matter who owns our regional utility company? Do we really want the management of our local energy supply to become entangled in the politics of a foreign government? Yesterday, Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative “Torries” swept into power in Ontario. The …

As soon as I heard that the Sierra Club supported and was involved with the takeover of Avista Utilities by Canada's Hydro One, I knew there was a problem. My concerns bore out at today's Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission hearing at the Spokane Valley City Hall. I signed in to testify and ask questions …

After twenty years of trying to raise awareness about REWILDING, it's really depressing that so many people still don't get what's going on and what's at stake. Forgive me for repeating the obvious, but the basic facts cannot be over emphasized. Gray wolves and grizzly bears provide our best examples of how the Endangered Species …

A recent article in the Spokesman-Review newspaper highlighted the upcoming Santana concert in Spokane.[i] Very cool, I thought, maybe I’ll go!

Simply put, radical environmentalism, a.k.a. the GREEN MOVEMENT, DEEP ECOLOGY, or REWILDING, is a philosophy that elevates nature over man. Hitler incorporated this naturalistic philosophy in his infamous treatise, Mein Kampf, where he blamed the entire Jewish race for what he called “the pacification of Nature”. According to Hitler, the Jews, and to a …

I'm posting a link to an important document that will help folks understand the global REWILDING perspective. While obviously written from the pro-REWILDING point of view, the articles in the source document more or less accurately portray the emerging conflicts between traditional land uses necessary for human survival and global conservation goals. Unfortunately, the authors …
Water and energy are intertwined. The production of energy requires water, and providing freshwater uses energy. Both of these essential resources face increasing demand and are a source of potential conflicts. Proposed water and energy governance schemes affecting the citizens of Washington State, including the HIRST Decision [i] , are not the result of citizen …

My slide presentation "REWILDING AMERICA" is set up on Youtube as an “unlisted” video, which means you cannot find it by searching Youtube, you must use this link to access the video page. Once on the video page, you can copy and share the link. You can also watch the video by clicking the "play" …
The truth about grizzly bear recovery is simple. The species (Ursus arctos) enjoys the second most extensive circum-polar range of any large terrestrial predator on the planet. Tens of thousands of grizzly (or "brown") bears roam freely in North America and tens of thousands more across Europe and Asia. Grizzly bears were never an endangered …
The 1973 Endangered Species Act (ESA) is in need of an overhaul. The Act was originally envisioned as a tool to protect species at serious risk of extinction. Unfortunately, over the last twenty-four years, the Endangered Species Act has been transformed into a weapon used to insure that the United States adheres to REWILDING commitments …

The proposed USFWS North Cascades Grizzly Bear Recovery Zone encompasses millions of acres in Washington State, including established National Parks and Wilderness Areas, National and State Forest land, municipalities and towns, recreational facilities such as ski areas and campgrounds, and tens of thousands of acres of private property. The designation will have serious long term …
The Endangered Species Act of 1973 requires the development of plans to protect listed threatened or endangered species and their habitats. In fulfilling this mandate, the USFWS has designated millions of acres as “Critical Habitat” for a number of target species. In my previous post I discussed the recent "USFWS Critical Habitat Designation for Frogs …

The Federal government just locked up another 3,000 sq. miles of public land in California by designating it as "Critical Habitat" for three different species of amphibians. This knee jerk land lock-up action is no surprise to me. For the past 16 years I've been watching as Federal and State wildlife biologists have granted certain …

The average American sportsman is unaware that the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation [RMEF] exists to promote REWILDING. [For those of you who are ignorant of the REWILDING concept, please see my previous blog posts on the topic.] One of RMEF's primary goals is to restore elk to their natural “historic range” across North America.[i] For …
[UPDATED APRIL 7, 2016] Last August, the Islamic State, a.k.a. "ISIS", made a big show of demolishing the Temple of Bel in the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra and executing Khaled al As’ad, a retired university professor and antiquities specialist. When ISIS raiders demanded to know where Palmyra’s treasures were stored, Khaled refused to tell …

Back in 2008, when Bill Clinton was helping his Canadian buddy, Frank Giustra, secure uranium rights in Kazakhstan, the Kazakhstan media reported that Clinton hoped the international deal making would achieve a top objective by “leading the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe to confer legitimacy on Mr. Nazarbayev’s government.” [i] Why would the government …

There are three distinct spheres exerting influence on the formation of global governance in the world today. These three realms are the political, financial, and spiritual institutions created to organize and govern the affairs of men on a local, regional, and international level. None of these systems operates in a vacuum uninfluenced by the others. …

Those who are familiar with this blog know that I have written several articles exposing the REWILDING agenda. There are many reasons for this. Foremost is the fact that REWILDING demands that individuals submit to living on reservations under an oppressive government system controlled by a cadre of collectivist elites. I do not wish to …

J.D. King’s latest film, “Blue” provides numerous examples of the economic and social costs of a preservationist “hands off” policy in regards to natural resource management and environmental stewardship. Blue emphasizes how adherence to the dictates of radical environmentalism has led to the implementation of overly restrictive regulations based on fraudulent science and alarmism. Unfounded worry …

The Bill Nye vs. Ken Ham debate conducted Feb. 4, 2014 at the Creation Museum in Kentucky, was anti-climactic at best. Although the two men were evenly matched as to their general scientific knowledge, their lack of technical expertise in any specific scientific field was also glaringly evident. Both men were able to argue various …

When San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro revealed plans to designate the Alamo as a United Nation’s “World Heritage Site”, many Texans and patriots across America became incensed to learn that the UNESCO emblem may soon be flying over the 'Shrine of Texas Liberty'. The Alamo is esteemed in American history as the site of …

When Barack Obama first emerged as a presidential contender, conservatives derided him for his lackluster resume. They made fun of his experience as a “community organizer”.

My freshman Sociology professor was a mix between Sarumon- (the evil wizard from J.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy), and Freddy Kruger. His reputation for baiting naïve freshmen into open debate just so he could slice them to pieces with his superior intellect and advanced debating skills was legendary. I’ll never forget that first day …
Institutionalized slavery has existed in one form or another for thousands of years, and still exists in some Muslim countries today. Slavery arises when men believe they have the right and/or are endowed with the moral authority to assert dominion over another human being. Examples of slavery, or bondage, are widespread throughout both the old …
This series is my attempt to answer those who have used the Bible to demonstrate theological support for the creation of genetically modified organisms (GMO’s).

Bees don't just make honey, they are critical to sustaining life on planet earth. These tireless workers pollinate over 80 percent of our flowering crops which constitute about one third of everything we eat. Bees are critical to the annual production of some $19 billion dollars worth of crops in the United States. But a …

REWILDING, a.k.a. "Landscape scale conservation", is now the official policy of the United States Department of Interior. Removing "GAPS" to biological diversity, and/or eliminating "stressors" on wildlife populations caused by human factors required the establishment of new mechanisms to enable management of natural resources across international boundaries on both public and private land. These mechanisms …
Edward Paul Abbey (1927-1989) was known as one of the founding fathers of the modern day environmental movement. As an astute observer of nature, Ed Abbey demonstrated a talent for describing the raw beauty of the natural world. Abbey also pointed out some of the serious environmental consequences of poor resource management. Having spent some …
Our Constitutional form of government was created and instituted to protect and serve the population, not enslave it. Yet today bureaucratic managers at all levels of government are exerting control over our lives that we never dreamed possible in America. Every governmental action seems focused on forcing compliance to a new set of societal norms. …
In a letter dated March 4, 2013, fifty-two members of Congress directed U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services Director Dan Ashe to commit to the total REWILDING of the United States by retaining endangered species classification for wolves. The letter begins with a lie, and ends with more lies. Here’s the first whopper: “The reintroduction of …

Ever heard the phrase, “If you repeat a lie often enough, it will be believed”? Of course this doesn’t mean that a lie actually becomes the “truth”, but rather that the lie is believed to be “true” by brainwashed people who then turn it into an operational component of their worldview. When there are enough …
Trophic cascades are said to occur when a top tier predator (such as a wolf) impacts a particular ecosystem by suppressing the abundance of prey or otherwise influences the distribution or behavior of other species, including non-prey animals, other large predators, and plant species. Introducing or removing a so-called “top-tier” predator from any habitat obviously …
Updated from my original article- “Return to the Primitive” c. 2005. [1] It is NOT a coincidence that Al Gore’s global warming propaganda masterpiece, Earth in the Balance, was found among Ted Kaczynski’s belongings in his ramshackle hovel in rural Montana. For those who may be historically challenged or suffering from memory loss, Ted Kaczynski was …

Environmentalists like to claim that wolves are the "sanitizers" of nature and fill an essential role in maintaining a "balanced" ecosystem. The mantra goes that wolves only eat the old, the sick, and the disabled. Of course nothing could be further from the truth. Wolf biologists and other wildlife observers in various countries all over …
[Edited and updated August 10, 2014] Before we talk about wild horses, let's look at another species often depicted, at least by Hollywood, as a symbol of the American West. The iconic tumbleweed is considered a complex and highly advanced plant. The most common tumbleweeds are the Russian Thistles (Salsola tragus, S. australis, S. iberica, …

This a reprint of an article I wrote that was originally published March 1, 2004 on Henry Lamb's Freedom.org webpage. I've included a link to the original article and an addendum. Caribou used to inhabit much of the northern border area between the United States and Canada, and as recently as the 1950s, were seen …
Those of us who live in conservative rural counties across the western United States have decided we are no longer going to resist the REWILDING agenda imposed on us by the liberal mob. To all those in favor of forcing us to live with wolves, we sincerely regret attempting to stand in your way as …

A tax is a sum of money demanded by a government for its support. Taxes and fees are most often levied upon incomes, property, activities, and sales. The imposition of wolves on rural America will go down in history as the most burdensome tax ever inflicted on human society. The United States taxpayer funded Grey …
“Know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” (James 4:4) [Article updated 6/13/15] It seems to me that the intentional spreading of wolves into all of the areas where they were formerly extirpated from is one …

[Updated 12/5/12 with a note to my readers in Sweden.] Now that we know cowboys are an endangered species here in the American west, maybe we should think about how some of the indigenous people around the globe are also being negatively affected by rapidly expanding wolf populations and top down political control.
