Collaborators, High Treason and Trust

This was a draft I guess I was afraid to post in 2011.  The Mr ? was a trusted ag reporter that several of us producers began to question.  They were very clever at playing both sides of an issue, write positive about our industry one moment then create fear and distrust the next time around. We began questioning their motives and today know that they were invested in the sustainable scam. This person is only one of many that are controlling the message and the outcomes and the direction of our industry.  It's pretty scary


TRUST.  Airline, auto and train passengers need it from their transport providers, kids need it from their parents, parents need it from their kids, medical patients need it from their doctors, a country needs it from their leaders...the list goes on.
And Cowgirl Chicks need it. They really need it.  If you've not seen these girls ride watch the video.  They must have complete trust in not only their mount, but their equipment as well.

Trust is something I'm having a little trouble with.  I'm convinced we have entered an unprecedented time of distrust. It is one of the reasons this blog was started.

DISRUST. I've been watching the Nazi Collaborators, if you've not watched this series, you must.  Every citizen of the U.S. should take time and watch at least some part of this great series.  In each case of collaboration by each individual or group, at the end, no matter how dedicated these men and women were in their justification of joining the "other side"...Hitler's Nazis, the fate of each of these individuals was grim.
Several morals to these collaborator stories:  "Understand the True Intentions of Those You're Collaborating With", "You Can't Cut Deals with the Devil", "Choose Your Friends Wisely", and above all-"Stand Up for your Country and It's Values, No Matter What".
 
If you've been reading Animal Ag Armed blog it's pretty clear that animal ag producers are under attack from every angle.  Gov't rules and regulations, animal and environmental activists. And now are we under attack from within?  Are agendas and motives being suggested, that run counter to animal agriculture's values.  Like the collaborators who threw in with the Nazis do the carrots being dangled in front of us look so good that we are overlooking the dangers that come from eating them. That they're full of poison. I've been questioning the trust of an individual who has a lot of clout in the ag journalism world, a person whom I've admired for quite some time.  An icon in this world where the written word they produce catches and holds the attention of tha ag public.
A self confessed liberal journalist on one hand; on the other an individual who reports on the positives of animal ag in one pen stroke, but  chronicles diametric views of our industry in the next.
Several years ago it became clearly apparant that dualing, conflicting messages were coming from the writings of a certain  individual. When FB postings about the safety of our animal proteins and a constant highlighting of undercover videos, it was time to mention my concerns to a state executive.  I did but was told to squelch this notion.
I voiced my concerns again about an unhealthy focus on negative postings of undercover videos and food safety obsession.
When the most recent Butterball under cover video was released this individual was the first that I noticed to post it...once again.  It was at this point I decided to question Mr.   personally.
I put together some questions and he was gracious enough to respond and answer them.  I explained my concerns and following are his responses.
Agree or disagree- my questions were answered.  I disagree with some of Mr. answers and some of my questions were not answered...why the intense focus on food safety?  I disagree with Ms. Grandin's stance about video taping, I admire all she has accomplished for the animal ag industries, but at some point business logic must play into these ideas.

I would love to let go of my horse, throw my hands in the air and ride like the wind, trusting horse and equipment. I want to get out of the office, away from my computer screen and keypad,
I want to trust.
But if my horse keeps shying and running off, and questions I have about the enemy go unanswered from my industry leaders, and my cinch keeps snapping, and collaborative relationships with the enemy continue by leaders in the industry, and my bridle keeps slipping  and so called "animal ag friendly" journalist whose partial paycheck comes from my pocket, and my bit is in continual need of repair 'll continue to hug the horn.,When I'm told to sweep things I know exist under the carpet, when my concerns are ignored, I won't let go.  I'll keep my fingers on the keypad and gather those that speak the truth.



Dot Connecting

The below post was started several years ago and not published, I just left it as a draft. There are several of these drafts within Animal Ag Armed that I had even forgotten I'd written maybe I got too busy deflecting all the arrows attacking our industry and just quit writing...I guess that's why I didn't finish them but I want to share them now as they show my concerns are still the same and that these individuals have not stopped layering "private property rights destruction" incrementally into American producer's lives...
p.s. I guess that I hadn't learned about the use of "sustainability"  and the triple bottom line as a tool of destruction.  I don't believe I realized that connection until I met Janet Thompson.  
Some of the links may be broken but I will try and fix them.
p.s.s. I know now why I stopped posting...I'm having trouble even trying to get this posted :)....


As I try to connect more dots and make more sense of what is happening in the animal ag world, I will be darting all over the place and that may get on your nerves. Sorry, but that's what the enemy strives to do: conquer- divide- confuse- disguise intentions- don deceptive "favorable" masks appearing to be friend not foe.  All tactics taken from Sun Tzu’s Art of War.  The enemy we are dealing with is intent on destroying America from within...it's capitalism, its exceptionalism, its power.  It is incrementally taking control of  it's private property rights, it's water, it's energy supply and it's animal ag industry---America's food supply.

They are using many of our influential ag media, and some of our so called "own" to assist in the destruction and collapse of thousands of animal ag producers.
By creating a perpetual stream of propaganda fear and suspect about what we do as farmers, ranchers, animal ag producers and the safety of the product we provide these individuals are very, very clever.

Let's look at some of what's happening:

We've witnessed professional ag journalists repeatedly posting Mercy For Animals videos without verification.

We've witnessed self made "experts" in the field of  animal welfare emerge... from  where? And somehow those individuals know more than the experts in their own field.-the  American Farmer/Rancher.

With a little research we've watched a pattern emerge disclosing connections and crossings of paths of these so called "animal welfare" experts with long time animal activists. And with a little more research a consistent pattern of animal welfare-food safety fear "consumer concern conjuring"  propaganda is reported by our own ag media.

We've watched animal activist's ideals enforced with the help of these "experts" result in the demise of thousands of animal ag producers.

  Follow along as I connect a few more dots.  The battle within animal ag is only a sliver of the "big American takeover" picture, the minute portion of the population that produces food for the world.


We have no ethical obligation to preserve the different breeds of livestock produced through selective breeding ...One generation and out. We have no problems with the extinction of domestic animals. They are creations of human selective breeding.

We would be foolish and silly not to unite with people in the public health sector, the environmental community, [and] unions, to try to challenge corporate agriculture.
