The Tortoise and Harry Reid

April 12, 2014

The story about Harry Reed and the BLM land seizures grew great big legs last night when a pdf from BLM hit the web like a brick falling onto the head of tyranny.

BLM had sent armed guys to scare away locals concerned with what many deemed to be an outragous abuse of power by BLM: the over enforcing laws and regulations, meanwhile letting other things go to rot. Claiming that Dessert Tortoises were so special that people's rights don't matter, meanwhile euthenizing (killing) very many of these so-called endangered tortoises. So maybe the bigest threat to these the Dessert Tortoise is the BLM, who are supposed to be there to help it survive.

Well, shamefully, BLM sent out guys to act tough in the dessert and scare the locals away. Many of these guys were probably embarrassed to be there. What do you do when the current crop of politically appointed bosses are crazy? If you are a BLM lifer, you probably don't want to say 'no' to your bosses and compromise your position. A lifetime job at BLM must be sweet for some people. Politics changes. A BLM job is for life. You just have to hold out through the crazy times. This must be the point of view. There was one writer this week who was at the scene and talked to one of the BLM people. This person said that he didn't want to be part of what BLM was doing. He said that what he was doing would make his grandfather ashamed of him. (I can find the reference to this).

What happened is legand now. But try to find it at some web 'news' sites and the story doesn't exist.

The BLM plans for Gold Mesa, on which Rancher Bundy has always run his cattle, included an elaborate surveillance system for a 'mitigation zone'. All of this is outlined by the BLM in a pdf titled Regional Mitigation Strategy for the Dry Lake Solar Zone, Technical Note 444. Either this document is a clever form of misinformation and a forgery, or it is a scathing indictment of the BLM policies and procedures for protecting endangered species. Who will pay for this? It was to be paid for by a cut of the profits from the Dry Lake Solar Zone! So BLM was perfectly OK with ruining of some important habitat as long as they got a 30 year pay off (thirty years was to be the length of the lease on the Dry Lake Solar Zone).

opinion:

Harry needs to stop treating BLM lands as his own. Endangered species should not be used as pawns that trump everyone else's rights. Endangered species should be left to be, and if there are other places for them too, then good. But to kill them one place to move them somewhere else, to land with rights stolen from otherwise law-following people, is a grave injustice.

If the Democrats want to remove a difficult campaign issue they ought to do a house cleaning at BLM. They should get Harry Reid to resign his office.

I'm always in need of a good editor! Know anyone?

Hey, you want to check out a cool page I've been working on today? It's also got a 'why don't we BASH for a while' explanation on automatic content generation utilizing the ubiquituos BASH shell. Here is a link

  🌛 🌜  When Moons
       Oppose (ver IV)

My Moonie Moon means he meets  his fate
      outside the boundries of the date
 Moon moonie moon he meets his date
 outside the boundries of their fate.

 And they rise on high
  up to the platuae place in the sky
     because he always wanted to be that guy
       didn't matter 
           didn't matter 
       didn't matter
             if he even
          wore a tie . . . 


   Oppose this
 outside the factory in the fall
 with a sign from G_d in the sky
 and he never looked back no why
   because he always wanted to be 
           wanted to be 
                     that guy.

   And he didn't even have to 
          ever 
               ever 
                    ever
      ever
           ever
                     ever
      wear a tie!
 

  In love with each other
  blah blah
 into different directions they
   rush try
 to remember
 to meet again back here
 next life
     next century next
           year
  next year.

 The world suffers not
 from what you imagine.
 Gain, loss? how much
  is all that worth when you are dead
   and gone
  and you don't even have to 
       ever
          ever
            ever
        be that guy
 you don't have
 to be that guy


 no no no
 you dion't have to be that guy
 
 no no no
  you don't have to be that guy

 So he says in his head
 on his surf board of living in the sky
     with his mind on board that plane he's an
  eagle
     with a mission
 to explain.
 and he is going to make sure
    it all comes out just the same
 as he wants it to.
 in his heart and in his mind.
  He is an eagle
         an eagle
   

  
When the show ended
 the band packe up nice
 they had all the brews that they needed 
already chilling on ice
In the morning with the wind
 it all sounded just the same
   he always thought he'd love to hear
   that whistle music playing.

 Life is not a synopsys
    of everything gone wrong
 Sometimes there is meaning
 sometimes it's just a song.
     Sometimes you can love them
      and leave them far away
     because really whats to tell them
      that you'd could ever tactfully say?

Milkman red devil popup :

"Merry Christmas!"

Emminent Harm

There still is a senator in DC
 Who thinks it's OK that if he
  drive ranchers from their land
 but when the public took a stand
 The squad of job-for-lifers did flee 

 ya, it needs work.

There once was an endangered reed
and BLM couldn't get anymore seed.
So they planned mitigation on Gold Butte
Even if it drive off ranchers, they didn't give a hoot
A scheme totally based upon greed.
  
ya, still not good.
