Don’t panic! This is nothing like the last dramatic evolution of this website. If you will notice just below my banner and just above the text windows where posts show up, there is a menu bar. Before this menu bar only had the word “Home” on it. No matter where you are on the website, if you click “Home”, you will be taken back to the home page.

I’ve added two other buttons to that menu – “Neospora Caninum” and “E.G./Hydatid Disease”. Let me explain. There is so much none of us know about these two diseases. Most troubling about these two disease is that hydatid disease has the potential to affect a lot of people and it can be deadly. Neospora caninum is a disease that we know so little about. It could be quite harmful to the livestock industry, in much the same way as brucellosis but some studies are indicating that this could destroy some wild game animals by reducing or limiting new born recruitment into the herds.

As important as these diseases are and should be to outdoor sportsmen and the general population, I discovered that there is great difficulty and man hours involved in researching and gathering information about these. Most people just don’t have the time but education is of vital importance.

My contribution here has been minimal compared to the efforts of others. Because of this, I was prompted to attempt to figure out a way to assemble all of this information that was being referenced into one location. This could save someone countless hours of time doing what many of us have already done.

So, if you click on the links provided in the menu, you can begin to see links to research material. The difficulty here is assembling it into useable information. I had to start somewhere, and so that’s what I did. I tried to break the information down into categories to keep the pages smaller.

I’m sure as I progress, I will have to rearranged and re-categorize. This is a work in progress.

I could use your help. As I work to build these pages, your constructive input would be appreciated – not about what is posted but how it is posted. I need to know if it was useful, easy to use, easy to find, etc. I will also accept information. Please provide either a link or a file in which I can download and then make available, provided I don’t run into copyright issues. Please don’t send me anecdotal evidences and stories that cannot be officially documented or as coming from reliable sources.

I appreciate your input, your patience and understanding as I work to make this site the best there is. I can only do that with your help.

And here we go one more time; only this time I am selling solar storm insurance. So, line up! No credit cards, no checks! Cash only! (Will accept gold bullion)

Yes, yes! I know. What are we to do? Wolf! wolf! wolf! Where’s the wolf? Are we being set up? Fukushima radiation was going to kill half the world, hurricane Irene was going to destroy the east coast of the United States. Now, we are in the midst of a giant solar storm, with giant sun spots and solar radiation that causes aurora borealis as far south as England.

This time for certain power grids will be interrupted, cell phones will stop working, televisions will be affected and anyone carrying a radio transmitter secretly implanted in them by the spying government will develop monster-sized headaches……or something.

According to the Daily Mail, the solar storm is real and the heavenly lights but most of the rest I made up or at least embellished in order that I might……….well, never mind.

But looking into my crystal ball, I’m wondering if this is only the precursor to that, well, the big one……you know that really, really, really big on that has been predicted to do unprecedented things to us all in late 2012. No, really! This one is real for sure! Get that insurance now! (OK, I’ll take silver bullion too)

I’m sorry. I shouldn’t downplay this and make fun of it but I can’t help it and it isn’t all my fault. Yes, I’m a person who likes to laugh and make fun of things, including myself, but people. Come on, man! How many times are we to be subjected to this sky-is-falling crap before we all just stop listening? Just let me know when Skylab is going to hit and I’ll get out of the way.

Oh, wait! Maybe? Just maybe, that is exactly what we are supposed to do. Stop listening – thinking actually. Just react and do as THEY tell us to. I get it now. (In my best robotic voice: Yes, Vger. I understand your command. I will obey! I will obey!)

I wonder if these “solar storms” will have any affect on those “smartmeters“?

Baaaah! Baaaaaah! Baaaaah! Oh, I’m getting really bad!

We all know the radical and violent nature of the Animal Liberation Front. They are up to their usual tricks. In Oregon they decided to trespass and destroy private property in order to free domestic elk at the Damascus Elk Farm in Clackamus, Oregon.

Obviously this is ignorant and demented behavior on the part anyone participating in such actions.

So, where is the state of Oregon on this? Last I checked most government organizations in Oregon opposed any form of elk ranching. Maybe they were behind this? Or are turning a convenient eye in the other direction?

They might even consider what Idaho did several years ago when an elk rancher there had some of his elk escape his enclosure. They just hired people to come in and shoot all the elk they could find.

Whether from terrorists groups like ALF or our government, there is no respect for private property.

Makes me ill.

Up and at it early this morning, I was contemplating what to share with readers about Constitution Day. Why reading through readers’ comments during the night, I came across a post a faithful reader added to the comments section. I read it and decided it was an outstanding piece to share more openly here on the main blog. Here’s what was written:

The Doctrine of Silent Acquiescence

http://youtu.be/-bWiviWUOgw

“The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead.” –Aristotle

Many folk’s these days are trying to figure out how to secure their rights to themselves. Well if you’re a trustee of a bankrupt construct and have not come out and joined or formed the new nation state. What rights do you think you can possibly have?

If you are truly prepared to come out self-govern and assume among the powers of the earth a separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and nature’s creator provide.

The state of this nation state;

Parens Patriae: The state is the supreme guardian of all children within its jurisdiction, and state courts have the inherent power to intervene to protect the best interests of children whose welfare is jeopardized by controversies between parents.
http://law.jrank.org/pages/9014/Parens-Patriae.html

Is that not where we find ourselves today?? Just look around, the people who can actually think for themselves are in the minority.

Here’s a small example of how they have done this;

Go to:

www.irs.gov…

Search for form 56.

Form 56 is a “Notice Concerning Fiduciary Relationship” the first line asks for:

Name of person for whom you are acting(as shown on tax return).

Form 56 is a pdf, so scroll down to the bottom, to the “Definitions” section:

Person. A person is any individual, trust, estate, partnership, association, company, or corporation.

An individual by legal definition is a natural person, while something like a trust is an artificial person. The registration of your birth with the State, your Birth Certificate, and your social security number represent a trust which is an artificial person.

The Federal Reserve has a lien held on that trust because you are being held as collateral for the National Debt that the bankers created.

After slavery was abolished (by the thirteenth amendment, not the fourteenth) the “freed” slaves were placed under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government by the Fourteenth Amendment Section 1:

Amendment 14 “Citizenship Rights”
Ratified 07-09-1868

1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Black’s Law Dictionary, Third Pocket Edition defines a ‘Privilege’ as the following:

privilege. 1. A special legal right, exemption, or immunity GRANTED to a person or class of persons; an exception to a duty

legal,adj.1. Of or relating to Law; falling within the province of Law. 2. Established, required, or permitted by Law; LAWFUL. 3. Of or relating to Law as opposed to equity.

grant,verb. 1. To give or confer (something), with or without compensation. 2. To formally transfer (real property) by deed or other writing. 3. To give permit or agree to. 4. To approve, warrant, or order (a request, motion, etc).

As you can see, by the Fourteenth Amendment you are U.S Citizen who falls under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government; and the Federal Government grants you your so-called “unalienable rights.”

Remember that the Contract makes the Law, and we have the unlimited right to contract, even if we have no knowledge of making a contract.

The Declaration of Independence states clearly:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the CONSENT of the governed, —

endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights

en·dow (n-dou)
tr.v. en·dowed, en·dow·ing, en·dows
1. To provide with property, income, or a source of income.
2.
a. To equip or supply with a talent or quality: Nature endowed you with a beautiful singing voice.
b. To imagine as having a usually favorable trait or quality: endowed the family pet with human intelligence.

Jurisdiction is a HUGE part of Law. If your Creator (whomever that may be) endowed you with “unalienable rights” what mortal, or mortal institution, has the Lawful authority to strip you of those rights? Like, if you have the “Right to Bear Arms” why do you have to ask the State for permission to exercise that right by obtaining a permit?

The philosophical idea of a “Creator” is the idea of an “Absolute, Highest-Authority.” That authority “endowed” YOU with unalienable rights, so why are you asking the State for permission to exercise them?

It is because you are less-than human. Or at least something pertaining to you is.

Remember that slaves were considered to be animals and “less-than-human.” Even after slaves were freed, when two “freed slaves” got married it was considered “animal husbandry.” The newly freed slaves DID NOT have the same citizenship status as everyone else, the thirteenth amendment freed them and the fourteenth amendment charted out their citizenship status.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the CONSENT of the governed

Notice the word consent. TO consent means to make a contract.

And the contract makes the Law.

You have willingly (yet unknowingly) diminished your own political status by contracting with the State and placing yourself under Fourteenth Amendment jurisdiction.

If you have a Birth Certificate you are contracted with the State.

If you have a Driver’s License you are contracted with the State.

If you are a registered Voter you are contracted with the State.

If you have a gun permit you are contracted with the State.

If you have a Marriage License you are contracted with the State.

The idea of Capitis deminutio and having a “strawman” is merely a symptom of the Fourteenth Amendment.

You do not have a “right” to do something if you have to ask for permission, you have a privilege.

Stop asking for PERMISSION and just do it!

And get out of Debt.

Thanks Bob for the link!!

I am very, very sick today. Started last night. Perhaps later I’ll feel like doing something.

Just so readers know, I have been having issues within the comment section; tons of SPAM comments. We have been tweaking and as a result, some of you may have noticed that your comments got hung up in the moderation folder waiting for me to approve them.

I appreciate your patience as I work through this and please don’t get impatient when your comment doesn’t appear right away. I’m hoping I only have to “reapprove” your comments once.

Thanks!

I’m sitting here feeling like a piece of shit today and am reminded of one of the reasons I opted to move to the Sunshine State – DEPRESSION. For the third day in a row of rain and cold (50 degrees) I have no interest in doing anything. I’m trying.

I have a special place in my email software where I archive what I call “Idiot Emails”. These are emails I receive from people who generally possess the intelligence of dried twig. I almost never respond to them but on occasion, I enjoy sharing with my readers the great entertainment.

The one I just received from “Cody Coyote” says, “I’m willing to bet we’ll never read one discouraging word at your Black Bear Flog about the high profile anti-wolf activist in Idaho who just got handed his ass for poaching a trophy elk.

Tony Mayer: The epitomy of the modern conservationist and American hunter.”

And here’s the link he gave me to the news article. I didn’t see any asses being handed to anybody, and I apologize Cody Coyote that I’ve let you down with a lack of “discouraging word” about Tony Mayer.

Well, first Mr. Idiot (Cody Coyote), the first lesson in attacking a person because you don’t agree with things they say and do is, shut your mouth. You never attack a person – in this case coming up with a very poor name that I guess you think must really diminish my website by calling it the “Black Bear Flog”. Or perhaps it was simply a misspell….you know, blog, flog. I could give you the benefit of the doubt but…….read on and you’ll soon discover why I shouldn’t.

(BTW, Cody Coyote, if I notice that all my readers have gone away because you called my website the Black Bear Flog, well, I hope you got a lot of money cause I’m going to sue you. Oh, man. I’ve been waiting for this day.)

Secondly, if you were adroit and perspicacious, you could have discovered that Tom Remington would not write anything about Tony Mayer’s court case about poaching an elk because in the near 7,000 posts at the Black Bear Blog you will scarcely find any stories about poaching.

Furthermore, let me see if I can help you out a bit Cody Coyote. “epitomy” is not a word. If I wasn’t receiving this email from an idiot, I might have assumed you meant epitome but you obviously don’t even know the meaning of the word but it’s obviously a fun one for idiots to use because it sounds like really awesome or something, right?

I’ll help some more. Epitome means, “a person or thing that is typical of or possesses to a high degree the features of a whole class” (taken from Dictionary.com).

Only an idiot would actually think that a poacher “possesses to a high degree the features” of “American hunters”. Now I could use your same powerful reasoning skills and say that Cody Coyote epitomizes (that’s a form of the word epitome. Send another email if you need help.) idiots……..oh, no, wait. He does! Or I could say that Cody Coyote epitomizes (there’s that darn word again) all wolf lovers. But an honest person wouldn’t say that because he knows that Cody Coyote only represents about 80% of all wolf lovers.

Geez, I’m having fun with this. I guess it’s a good thing I’m in the middle of some down time.

I’m not sure what you are intending to bring to light by painting Tony Mayer as the “epitomy” of a “modern conservationist”. It is my understanding that the environMENTALISTS hold the license on “modern conservation” because, well, they have the modern “scientists” whom they pay well to support their modern agendas. We know that outdated wildlife conservation science did absolutely nothing to restore more wildlife to America than at any point in history, that’s why the “modern conservationist” wants to get rid of it. Man, I’m confused.

Cody Coyote – Grow up and stop wasting my time!

Tom Remington (that’s my name. What’s yours?)
