and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me"

I hope if you're following this blog and you are a producer who was confused about Prop 2, Prop B, and Ballot Initiatives a clearer picture is now forming. It is imperative that ALL animal ag producers, hunters, land owners, fur producers, pretty much anyone involved with animal and land ownership understand the "big picture". I will continue to make references to Prop 2, Prop B, and Ballot Initiatives, as they directly relate to the overall plan animal activists and "others" have put in place to obtain their ultimate goal: to abolish animal agriculture.
I also want to take today to express my appreciation to my industry's programs and leaders. As a beef producer I rely on the National Cattlemen's Beef Association along with the Cattlemen's Beef Board to protect producers from onerous rules and regulations and promote our product. Without these leaders and programs our beef industry would have limited export markets, be overrun by government regulations and unable to spread the positive word about beef.
If you've been following my blogs and posts you may conclude that I'm not a real deep thinker (anyway I probably don't appear to be), I have a sense of humor and I like to have a little fun. But on the flip-side I'm a serious mom, grandmother, women rancher working to protect my family and ranch. So I have vocally shared my staunch conservatism, not only politically, but agriculturally as well. This next sentence is hard for me to write. But I must. In the next few days I am going to attempt to explain Agenda 21 and ICLL, world-wide programs already set in place to push a socialistic agenda. There I said it. We are in the midst of a socialistic movement that's happening under our noses. I could sense that we were being taken over gradually and systematically but couldn't put my finger on it. Not until last week when my friend and colleague brought Agenda 21 to my attention. I shared with her some things that had happen on our ranch and after our conversation, the events that are happening throughout the U.S. in our rural areas became perfectly clear.
If I appear to be emitting a sense of urgency, I AM. The events I shared with my friend had to do with a third party auditor (companies that audit your livestock, handling of animals, facilities, etc.in return for a sale premium if certain guidelines are met). Participating ranches or farms are audited periodically to verify compliance. Our particular audit was with someone we trusted. We would later find out that the information gleaned for the program, Global Animal Partnership or GAP, would be information that would ultimately be in the hands of animal activists. Wayne Pacelle and Miyun Park sit on the board of GAP.
Our family was on the brink of allowing information from our ranch to be handed over for HSUS scrutiny. It was by having a little knowledge of the covert attacks that HSUS uses that I recognized red flags during the audit. As soon as some questions were asked on our part, we terminated the audit. My goal is to make sure this does not happen to another animal ag producer.
Our family, as beef producers, has taken advantage of premiums such as All Natural and NHTC (Non Hormone Treated Compliant) and have felt very fortunate to have these choices. BUT a program such as GAP must be scrutinized closely before entering into a contract.
Coming up next time. A more in depth look at the stories that connect the dots in the ongoing push for destruction of traditional animal agriculture: Jim Keene author of "Great Ranches of the West", The Expansion of National Monuments and more.
P.S. If you are already getting the "big picture" and know where I'm going with this information...move right on along and share it with other animal ag producers. We are in a fight for our children and grandchildren's livelihoods.
