Wolf introduction is a criminal enterprise based on scientific fraud

Q: After the following meeting I was asked about “fraudulent science”. I answered as follows:

A. Mammals get bigger as you go North and smaller as you go south to the Equator: the reason being that a large version of the same animal is generally more suited to surviving cold winters and a small version of the same animal is generally more suited to surviving hot periods annually. Now wolves and white-tailed deer occur in North America from the Yukon to Mexico. While hunters go to far Northern Saskatchewan to shoot very large white-tails, the tiny little Key Deer (Florida white-tails that breed successfully with all other white-tail deer but just happen to live in a very hot climate AND to have evolved in very inferior food availability circumstances) is an Endangered SPECIES.

Living in the new wild west

Ecological abundance. That’s not a pairing of words you hear too often these days. It’s more common to hear of ecological distress. However, both opportunities and problems associated with great ecological abundance may be seen in Montana’s Madison Valley. Lying just northwest of Yellowstone National Park, the Madison presents an eyeful. Vast herds of elk, pronghorn, and deer, along with migrating waterfowl and raptors frequent the area. With ungulates come the predators. Wolves, grizzly bears, black bears, mountain lions, and wolverines all call the Madison home. As winter drives big game animals from the high elevations of Yellowstone and neighboring forest service lands, they migrate to the valley floor and find forage and cover on private lands.

Shortly before the election in 2008, I became very afraid. It wasn't an "all of a sudden" feeling, but rather one that had been slowly escalating. Not having been particularly savvy in regards to politics, I didn't really understand what was going on. But I knew it was very wrong.

In tears I prayed and then I called my grandmother. I expressed my concerns to her and asked her opinion, expecting consolation. Instead, my wise, sweet grandmother said, with her heavy German accent, "America today looks like Germany did just before Hitler took power". And she would know, she suffered her entire life from the after-effects of the concentration camps in which she resided while in her young adulthood. I hung up the phone and in tears I prayed. I suppose I cling to my religion...

Pathways of Disease

By Dr. Althea MyrieDr. Althea Myrie is a British born Naturopath who is currently practicing in the U.S. She is an avid researcher and clinician with a passion to help people find the underlying causes of disease and make their way back to health.

How do people develop ill health and chronic diseases? Where does it all start? To really answer these questions, I had to go beyond my traditional naturopathic training and do a lot of independent research. I came to understand that it was necessary to find the “root cause” of the problem. If you know how you arrived at your destination, i.e. “root cause” of illness, then you know how to find your way back to health. The body is infinitely intelligent and by following the “road signs” that led to the disease I began to see that a complete reversal of health was possible.

Wolves Return

Conservation Success Story, or Ecological Disaster?
By Toby Bridges

If you’ve been following the reintroduction of the wolf in the Northern Rockies since the late 1990s, you surely have heard a lot of talk, read numerous newspaper and magazine articles, and you’ve likely seen quite a bit of television programming regarding the controversy surrounding this project. On one side of the debate have been the pro-wolf folks and environmental groups, who claimed that the return of the wolf will be good for the environment, and that wolves would not create the devastation to other wildlife and livestock being claimed by the “other side”. And on that “other side” have been hunters and ranchers who, in no uncertain terms, have sworn that wolves would totally destroy big game herds and make it economically impossible for livestock producers to remain in business.
