We are on a fiber, high speed connection so I don’t think there is an overload problem at this residence.

[This afternoon we did have a real server outage when the software I use to run the web site crashed. It was backup after about an hour I think. This has happened once before. I’m looking into the problem and how to prevent it. Rather pesky. -WJ]

[I haven’t noticed any down times on the server but it could have happened when I was working outdoors. The browser shouldn’t make a difference. One possiblity I can think of is that I notice you are on Hughes Directway network which means you’re getting a set of dynamic IP addresses Hughes that is shared between many people time to time. A crank spammer who is also on Hughes network was spamming me last week and I blocked his IP address. If you happened to ge the same IP as him you would get blocked until you got a new IP address. I have unblocked that IP address incase that is the case. Hopefully that fixes it. Thanks for alerting me. If you have trouble again, leave a note and I’ll look into it. Even if you can’t access the site you should still be able to email me and that will automatically give me the IP address so I can check it.. -WJ]

This just proves that the press can be and is the tool of the state. CBS, Fox, ABC, CNN are just state broadcast channels doping the populace with drivel and false, distracting news. They are part of the new terror network–keep the people in check by making them scared of their own shadow. They make hours of news up out of a few lines, small details and lots of speculation.

When I was at the county fair this week, most people I spoke with had never heard of the NAIS. Flyers were passed out, I mentioned NONAIS in almost every conversation. But most people don’t care to be bothered. “Everything is alright now, we don’t have to do anything.” or “Do you really think it will ever get that bad? It couldn’t happen here. . .” It’s a battle for hearts and minds out there. The fictitious “Homeland” they want to safegaurd doesn’t exist yet, but they’re on their way to creating it.

The NAIS has the potential to damage and destroy small animal sanctuaries just as it does small farmers and ranchers. And we are finding, as we get the word out, that the majority of farm animal sanctuaries…many of us small, non-profit or private operations…are just as irate about the NAIS as the rest of the small farming community.

Farm animal sanctuaries take in abused, abandoned and neglected farm animals and care for them for life…it is as simple as that. But in the process we do many of the same things that small farmers and ranchers do on a daily basis.

While our goal with regard to the eventual fate of the animals may be different, most of us in the sanctuary world do not see joining the anti-NAIS movement as an unholy alliance, or a compromise of our ideals, but rather one in which good people of divergent views have joined forces against a common enemy.

As Lee’s vegan friend commented…we may not agree with eating meat, but the true fight for liberty and freedom transcends many differences of opinion. Any you will find an increasing number of animal sanctuaries, vegetarians and vegans willing to step forward to join you in your fight against the government and the NAIS.

We need to depopulate our government departments, and right now. Our elected officials are talking crap. They are letting us down, leaving it to their hired flunkies to do the dirty work. If we can vote in the Senator, Congressman, Commissioner, etc then we should have an equal vote in who they are employing–because it’s these cogs-behind-the-scenes who are doing all the real work.

Sure we might talk to, write to, harass Congressman So and So from our district, but the real truth is he/she will delegate the work to someone else who cares even less than they do. Nevertheless, apply the pressure. There are signs that the damn is cracking. That the USDA is feeling the heat from the public. That our efforts to fight this tyranny might be holding back the tide before it turns. And on that ebb tide we’d better be ever more ready to flush out the drift and clear the shores of all the crap the currant officials are piling up.

If we as a nation cannot defeat NAIS (which is just the tip of a very large and nasty iceberg) than I fear the worst. There is more and different and scary to follow if NAIS is allowed take hold. A USDA Vichey-style government is not something I care to participate in.

“Arise children of the Homeland
The day of glory has arrived
Against us tyranny’s
Bloody standard is raised
Listen to the sound in the fields
The howling of these fearsome soldiers
They are coming into our midst
To cut the throats of your sons and consorts

To arms citizens Form your battalions
March, march
Let impure blood
Water our furrows

What do they want this horde of slaves
Of traitors and conspiratorial kings?
For whom these vile chains
These long-prepared irons?”

–The “Freedom” National Anthem

Make signs and post them on you car, and park the car in the feed store parking lot, or at Walmart, etc.
