I Was Right... Again
Sam Sykes ~ 03/7/2024
Wow, I get so sick of being right all day, everyday. This will be the first victory lap of many showing how accurately I have identified malfeasance and predicted corruption. A few weeks ago, I wrote an article defending a few different men who were wronged by the American government and justice system. Among them was the Bundy family, who faced increased pressure and attacks from America, representing the death of U.S. cattle ranchers.
This country loves giving aways all the blue collar jobs away to other countries. Even in the uber-green Canada, absurdly corrupt Mexico, and inept Brazil, they have managed to not only sustain beef production, but increase it as the U.S. seizes and squeezes ranches. Under the auspices of preserving the desert tortoise, the American government began seizing land and regulating the shit out of cattle grazing. It was all a ploy to steal the land and “preserve” the habitats within.
Well it seems that the first domino of the true grand plan is beginning to fall. As the government scooped up more and more land throughout the late 20th century, ranchers had less land to graze their cattle. To quell the outrage, they began promising century-long grazing permits on public land as long as they paid the price per cattle head. 30 years ago, they had acquired enough land to start rescinding the previously promised permits. After all, the government had the land, thus they had all the power.
I already touched on the Bundy Ranch last week, and the insane consequences and persecution they faced while fighting back against the tyranny, but many ranches just couldn’t stand up to the most powerful government in the world. Many farmers realized that the legal and financial penalties that were used to threaten beef producers would be absolutely crushing, and decided to sell their properties to the Bureau of Land Management. This land, which was now rendered useless, was bought for “more” than market value… which was not much.
The Johnson family farm in Leeds, Utah was one of these cattle ranches. They were finally squeezed into selling their land to the government for their new nature preserve. It was revealed this week that land the government acquired was sold to developers and the plan is to add 750 homes, a hotel, and several businesses to the small town of roughly 900 people. A huge undertaking in the desert, requiring serious water usage, runoff planning, trash disposal, electric and fiber optic implementation, roads and highways… you get the point. I didn’t realize that building an entire city was better for the environment than some cows eating grass.
I guess the desert tortoise will have to buy one of those new homes or take a bus to a different “preserve”.
