 When we look at what we have lost through these 8 years of Totalitarian American Governments, if not totally insane Republican RULE with Republican State Representative Don Tripp, the slaver, the "sweat-shop" owner, the thief of public funds, social security funds, and Human Resources, we also begin to sweat with fear that this insane man could live in a country or state where he can RUN FOR ELECTION TO A PUBLIC OFFICE WITH SOME POWER, WHO can take the land, water, air, pollute us with pesticides, kill the fish, the eco-communities, the eco-systems in total ignorance and oblivion, then we truly have lost so much of what we did love, but mostly we have been caused to understand what evil is and can d, for we are touching it! We see what  greedy, "less-than-intelligent" humans can do to our planet, to our people, to our food. But, knowing this, how must we stop them. Don't vote for them certainly. Yet, perhaps it is time for an upgrade to a failed and obsolete type of government? Don Tripp inserts himself, hides himself and poisons all that he touches. So, we are to go to what we have lost, we have lost good water in our Rio Grande, we have lost so many species of wildlife, (extinct) time will tell)? We have surely lost our scientists, our ecologists, our writers, our philosophers, our senses. Not all of us, but so many that we have had to say goodbye to what was the Department of Geology at New Mexico Tech, where it has turnd to eco-terrorism,  tossing the real paleontologist out to make room for the oil man, who claims to be a paleotologist, but is really only a homosexual small man with desires just to be "somebody." The only paleontology he has seen is fossil fuel. So L. Greer Price you can be proud, you have helped to turn our state, our rivers and streams into Disneylands. And, will you be Minnie Mouse? Your gay mate, Ms. Stebbins placed in the BLM will sit by, doing what she alway does, nothing... and think yourselves as archaeologists, but are only a pot-sherd washers. We have lost what was a science department to silly, illiterate fools. Sad is this. But, just another thing that is lost. They have not yet learned that eco-tourism turns so quickly into eco-terrorism, human excrement and trampled wildernesses. But, perhaps all of the unread books on Mr. Price's shelves will do what he could not do...go to a descent library for the younger readers of this world. I only wish you had some science and environmental books to give. There are others we have gained, while we lost the real book-makers, the real photographers, the real writers and the real editors... We have lost the science that might get us out of our dash of extincition. These people know not that there are many Camino Real's, that my great, great,great uncle wrote a letter to my family when he fought in the Battle of Valverde. These people do not know that my Aunt Mary cooked in Magdalena for the wild horse ranglers who used the rock buildings and corrals along Nogal Canyon, that my partners grandmother took the walkof death to Ft Sill and back, loosing her mother to cold, that my partner's great, great uncle was Geronimo. No one even knows to ask us. And, we don't care to tell them. And to the Bosque del Apache and its Disneyland (supported by New Mexico Tech, Don Tripp and BASF, the chemical company), who sprayed our valley killing so many of us.  We are missing John Taylor, finally as he was a slow minde, foolish man with Texas relatives. Why had no one told him that being a Duck specialiss does not mean that one can research and study the eco-systems of marshes and wetlands, with their, high, high biomass.  

But, the people of this place have so little to belong to... that they image things, they biuld imagery places to make a past for themselves. They become members of Friends of the Bosque del Apache, build a Festival of the Cranes for making money and to obtain some history for themsleves. Most come from Texas, Illinois, Kansas, even California, but they are not New Mexico Natives, they are only "carpet baggers" back to the Lee's the Bursums, the Tripps, the Monettes, Herkenhoffs. So for the moment we have lost our valley and our wildlife refuges to those who have nothing, those that cannot even have two twin towers bombed by their own govenment to lean upon for some history, a lineage. They come here in desparation and desire to be an archaeologist and there are no archaeologist of quality left in the State these days. They come here to be somebody, only to find that there is no place for them except as pseudo-scientists at Sevilleta Wildlife Refuge, Herkenhoff's Indian Hill (that does not belong to him). 

No matter who they are, they have become nothing behind those large telescopes and cameras lined up like Howitzer's awiting Napoleon Bonaparte all aiming at the last Sand Hill Crane. For it is now apparent, this will be one of the last Festivals of the Cranes if they continue to burn Salt Cedar and spray it with the death of imazapyr. They will build bronze monuments (still as death) to their "imagined Hero," John Taylor. They need someone to worship. So two dead cranes in bronze to honor a sad dead man, who took the wrong path. And where are his kidneys and Ms. Nyleen Troxel-Stowe. And, as one rather ignorant female told me: "We live down here and we get bored, so we have to adopt horses, buy small pieces of land, be Friends of the Bosque just not to get bored. How sad for you lady, how sad for you all. 

But, what have I lost? I can not longer go to the Bosque del Apache as it is not a wildlife refuge with thousands of birders polluting the land with their feet, filling up badly perfumed hotel rooms owned by the mayor of Socorro, Ravi Bhasker. I have lost that drive in the golden autumn leaves with a few other people around the place to see the whooping cranes and snow geese come in to sleep. But, mostly, I have lost that lone ring-necked pheasant who hid in the snow covered grasses as I was in awe of him. I have lost the lone coyote slinking in to attempt to get a meal in summer waters. I have lost some archaeological sites. But, I have mainly lost a high biomass marsh environment to eco-terrorism.  

As a PhD Ecologist and organic agriculturalist  here in the beautiful Middle Rio Grande Valley, I sometimes feel rather small and alone in my uphill fight against all the troubles I see ahead of us in these waning months of what has been one of the bleakest eight years  perhaps since the Holocaust, but maybe since the collapse of the Roman Empire. Global warming, drowning polar bears, melting icecaps, floods, extinctions, wars, death to ecosystems and wildlife, thugs, who would lead us to death, politicians of smug, small minds,  earth-haters, who have caused death, soaring costs for fuel and foods, starvation world-wide, I must admit my horror.

America is no longer the hegemon, however most citizens continue to hide behind patriotism, nationalism, and silly politicians believing what is easiest for them. America is not united.  It is an illusion. A "slight of hand" so that a mere three hundred thousand  families and corporations in the US can control the destinies of over three hundred million people if not billions,  who have no vote. Most Americans say: "Why should we care about other countries?"  America is a herd leaping from it's highest peaks to the ocean floor.  How many of you own the house you live in and can grow your food on your own soil? How many of you own your own means of production? Are you a steward of the land at the Bosque del Apache? where you can watch the wildlife death? State Representative Don Tripp (R) Socorro, NM, (running for re-election), Sevilleta Wildlife Refuge, Gordon Herkenhoff of Indian Hill Waterfowl Management Area are all Stewards!! and they are all dying. Tripp not only owns part of the Bosque del Apache, he is a "farmer", a jeweler, a "slaver" and owner of a "sweat-shop." In truth, he is a small, uneducated fat, little man that some might feel for, but in the end he is a blob, who wants to own the world. Poor man, he had a chance, but should now be gone.

This politician just wants land... or land and slaves, just wants to RULE? He is a dancer, a liar,  just another ride in the jellyfish water of life. We should be sad for you Tripp, sad for you Dave Love, sad for your Gina's, but you live inside your own lies, knowing so little about the environment that you just walk on ahead, while the earth dies. Retire. as you are all breathing the air belonging to some small child, you are bathing in waters too clean for any of you. May you swim with the fishes though! Why don't you stop wanting to be something that you are not, and look up, look up for your lives are short and you have forgotten what you even wanted in the beginning. So, so, fly, dive, dance until the lights go out. Ignorance....Ignorance...abide. 

Don Tripp, you poison politician, your days are coming to an end. Hence, "your flag decal won't get you into heaven anymore," sang John Prine in his song about the Viet Nam War.  Just keep waving the flag Donny Boy...Your drug of choice is more potent than meth, crack heroin or coke. It is GREED, greed for something that you will never get!

Quickly...my time here at New Mexico Tech is coming to an end. I am an active environmentalist who has been caught in the act of caring about the air I breathe, the water I drink, and the food I eat. The Tech is noted for at least three things: 1) Homeland Security Training; 2) blowing things up (such as bombs); and 3) being a university with no student body. There are literally hundreds of computers where I am, but my partner and the desk-guy are the only ones here on July 30, 2008. Seems odd...Where are all the people that are supposed to make up a student body? Were they all environmentalists like myself, told that I could no longer use the TCC (computer room costs $6/year?) Not even...Thanks to the likes of State Representative Don Tripp (R) Socorro, my computer use, less than excessive, has been suspended based upon a cock'bull story about this being a State Facility, and I am not a registered student or faculty, and I am an insurance risk, and that they cannot be responsible for someone from the "outside" and they do not want to be responsible for being a State Agency that is competing with private industry or private server. I live ten miles out in the country and we have no servers there. I must now use satellite although I have held this account as a "visiting scholar"  for the past 8 years.

No..this is personal. Tripp knows I am on his ass and will do anything in my power to bring his slaver business to a halt. He is on the brink of losing his prized position to a Democrat and he is aware that I will blog him to the end of the land. I will shine the light on his nefarious dealings and he can try to block me in any way he can. I am not one of his rich Texan-like crones, I disagree with what he stands for (see my previous blogs), I find him unethical, and I truly believe that he cares for nothing or anything or anyone except the deals he can make for himself and his rico friends. Crooked politicians are almost cliche here in smalltown New Mexico and I would have stayed quiet if not for one thing:  my chickens.

So, I will try and collect my thoughts, then sum up Tripp and his host of clowns. As an afterthought, never go after politicians that know you, or about you, if you stand in their way of making a "deal", either with a chemical company  such as BASF, putting pressure on a Department of Defence Facility such as the one I am writing to you from. If you do, always be ready for the day they wake up and realize that you have been working for the "other side" right under their noses, in plain sight. I will continue to blog at this empty facility until they stop me and take away my computer. 

I have tried to tell the internet world of the reality that we have all been living under, a very dark cloud created by the horrors left us by the Bush/Cheney Regime, about totalitarianism, Texas Nazis, agro-poisons, ecology, small-town America, life, death, and the pursuit of a halfway acceptable rural way of life. Fellini style...Sartre would understand... 

Over the past two years, I have written about the Middle Rio Grande, New Mexico, and  the poisoning of the Salt Cedars with ARSENAL/Imazapyr pesticide, at the Bosque del Apache, up the rivers of the state, by Texas A & M and New Mexico State University, USDA, US Fish and Wildlife, BLM, etc.  I have  told you that State  Representative Don Tripp (R) NM, was so heavily involed in this action and the destruction  of eco-communities, habitat, wildlife, domestic animals, organic farms, fish, land, and even people;  and that even a local newspaper said that he wasted  his mother and ran a jewlery manufacturing "sweatshop" of unforunate locals using the New Mexico Human Services and the Social Security Administration in Socorro County and Albuquerque, to pay these "employees," that he was a Friend of the Bosque del Apache, that he had helped Gordon Herkenhoff at Indian Hill Waterfowl Management Area to obtain from Socorro County,  through the Socorro County Soil and Water Conservation Service, acres and acres of land for pennies on the dollar, so the subsidized farmers could grow more alfalfa to sell at high prices to the Japanese and about other various nefarious deeds that killed the environment and padded the pockets of himself and his farmer friends and who knows who else. Well, now I have another story for you.

Mr. Tripp is running for relection this November. He managed to get my e-mail address asking for "links." to the pesticide, Imazapyr. He did not know enough to read the scientific data and just ended by sending me a message "that all of this was for the greater good." I disagreed with him and told him to get off the "waves." Tripp also helped get the money for the use of BASF, the Chemical Company's ARSENAL/imazapyr, now sold to NuFarm, in league with Sevilleta Wildlife Refuge, the State of New Mexico, most Federal Burearcrats (one State Bureaurcrat, Mr. L. Greer Price, who is head of "tourism" at the NMT Department of Geology, and who bragged to me that he had had Mr. Tripp over for a party) has just managed to get me, an environmental researcher and scholar, thrown-out of my computer facility at the Tech.  Mr. Price is a bit silly. Mr. Tripp is a bit criminal and deadly. Nonetheless, Mr. Price continues to put together tourist's packages.

Mr. Tripp continues to "poison" everything he touches, being an allumni of NMT, who also lives in Socorro, is on water and agricultrual boards for the State of New Mexico and  has just issued a "mandate" to Dr. Gerrity, New Mexico Tech, to stop my use as a scholar and researcher and of the reserarch facilites at New Mexico Tech. I have 7 days from now to get all of "my people" and documents, writings out of the Tech computers. I have been evicted by a two-bit politician, who is exposed!!!  I am evicted after seven years of participation.

Tripp along with Herkenhoff and the Soil and Water Conservation Service of Socorro County managed to obtain the murderous pesticide, imazapyr, to help kill this valley in league with Sevilleta Wildlife Refuge (now attempting to become, with the purchase of Indian Hill Waterfowl Management Area, the new  Bosque del Apache del Norte). Don Tripp was also in league with various subsidized farmers here to gain land through poisons. He is in collusion with Fed Representative Steve Pearce to use CIA (Wackenhut, Blackwater, Cheney private armies and North Star Helicopter, to spray the deadly pesticide).

We have declared Tripp a slaver. We have accused Tripp of making the Bosque del Apache PRIVATE! We have accused Tripp of being in "bed" with Steve Pearce to steal our lands for the Texans and attempting to put a state "multiuse" trail from northern New Mexico, down the River Bosque,  to the racetrack at Sunland Park, Texas, through our bosque trees, through archaeological sites, through  private lands, through public lands, through our lives. He wants this to be a STATE PARK. We have all told him and Anazazi Trails organization from Madrid, New Mexico, who is the private part of this interprise and in league with the State Parks System: NO, NO.

What else has Mr. Tripp done, except atttempt to stop the ENVIRONMENTALISTS?  

     THIS IS A PERSON WHO IS ALSO INVOLVED WITH HERKENHOFF AND HIS DEATH AT INDIAN HILL, HE HAD APPROPRIATED THE MONIES TO POISON HIS OWN FARM, POISON THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE, AND HE IS IN CHARGE (AFTER THAT) OF AGRICULTURE AND WATER RESOURCES.WE WANT ALL TO FEEL FREE TO E-MAIL HIM OR WRITE TO HIM, TO WRITE TO GARY KING, NM ATTORNEY GENERAL, GOVERNOR RICHARDSON, REQUEST INFORMATION ABOUT HIS AFFLIATION WITH NM HUMAN RESOURCES, HIS AFFLIATION IN SOCORRO ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE... AND FINALLY WE ARE TO THE STORY OF WHAT HE HAS ATTEMPTED TO DO TO ME AND IS NOW ATTEMPTING TO DO TO ME! 

HE HAS STOPPED MY USE (AS A VISITING SCHOLAR) OF NMT'S COMPUTERS AND RESEARCH FACILITIES.  DON'T FEAR GREENPEACE. There are other computers. 

AS A WELL KNOWN AND PROCESSUAL SCIENTIFIC ARCHAEROLOGIST WITH FEDERAL PERMITS AND WORKING WITH MY PARTNER IN RIO ABAJO ARCHAEOLOGICAL SERVICES UNTIL 1993, WE STOPPED THE THEN HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER, MR. THOMAS MERLAN FROM USING HISTORIC PRESERVATION TO TAKE THE WATER AWAY FORM THE NORTHERN AREA OF THE VELARDE VALLLEY. WHEN WE UNDERSTOOD THAT MR. MERLAN, IN LEAGUE WITH THE FAMOUS BASS BROTHERS OF FT WORTH, TEXAS, FUNDRAISERS FOR THE BUSHES,  WERE ATTEMPTING TO CORNER THE "MARKET" ON WATER AND AGRICULTRAL LANDS, WE STOPPED THE PROJECT.

THE VELARDE VALLEY IS NOW COMPOSED OF MANY ORGANIC FARMS WITH ITS OWN IRRIGATION DITCHES. SO WE WERE KNOWN "TROUBLE-MAKERS" AND DIRTY ENVIRONMENTALISTS. THAT IS BEING DISCUSSED BECAUSE IN ABOUT 2001 OR 2002 OUR COMMUNITY WATER SYSTEM (ALA TRIPP) RAISED OUR WATER BILL TO $400 TO $500 PER MONTH. OUR FINAL BILL WAS OVER $4,000, WATER THAT WE DID NOT USE. WE DRILLED A WELL AND SHUT DOWN THE COMMUNITY WATER. NOW WE BELIEVE THAT MR. TRIPP WAS BEHIND THAT!  PRESENTLY, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY ELECTRICITY. CURRENTLY I HAVE BEEN BILLED $2,700.00. I COMPLAINED TO SOCORRO ELECTRIC, AND THEY SAID IT COULD NOT BE THAT MUCH AND THEY CHANGED THE METER, BUT THE BILL REMAINS AS HIGH AS A FULLY ELECTRIC HOME OR FARM. MR. TRIPP IS INVOLVED WITH SOCORRO ELECTRIC.

YOU DO THE MATH. DO YOU THINK HE MIGHT WANT ME TO HAVE TO GIVE UP MY HOME BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE WATER? OR ELECTRICITY, SO THAT HE CAN BE REELECTED, SO THAT HE CAN RUN A PARK THROUGH OUR DEATH PESTICIDE BOSQUE? PROBABLY. SO, I THINK IT IS  TIME TO GET THE NEW YORK ATTORNEYS INVOLVED, ALONG WITH THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO.  Bon Apetite!

Ever wonder why this crap is fed to us via sattellite every day of our lives?

It's to keep you busy, worried, occupied so as not to notice the real threat to our constitutional freedoms, not allow us the time to think through an issue, but to be overwhelmed by the bullshit of the day and leave us empty, devoid of a comprehensive plan to omit some of these horrors that will occupy our time in the near and far future. In my neck of the woods, we are undergoing a colonization by Texas transplants that were placed here during the Bush Regime. They are easily recognized by their big white trucks, huge horse trailors, cowboy hats, and a pickup loaded with plastic tanks of deadly pesticides. They play with these deadly chemicals, as if daring nature to cross them and receive a quick dose of lethal. And their horses...god luv'um. They seem to fill some unknown altruism for the horsey set that validates their existence, since their sense of being is so shallow. Their oil money has bought all arable land in the Rio Abajo and it is slowly being transformed into alfalfa plantations, tourist attractions (Bosque del Apache Wildlife Refuge, Herkenhoff's Indian Hill Wildfowl Management Area, and Sevellita National Wildlife Refuge, just to name a few)  where once chile or corn fields provided much of the foods to the locals and were sold at market at Santa Fe or Albuquerque. Our bottom-lands are disappearing and there will be no sign of the wide "bosque" by the time our childrern are grown. We are losing our productive food-lands to wealthy people, made wealthy by crooked anministration and their pals, California Dreamin', bringing our valley lands to ruin.

Through all this, I try to bring some positivism to the scene, since I am aware that many other places on the globe are in worse condition than we are. Just look at the mess in Darfur, in Somalia, Zimbabwe, Niger, Uganda, Afghanistan, Iraq, and many other critical human habitats. We are in no need of world wars at this time. Climate and time, itself, will eliminate many of the horrors we now face. It's how we stand up and face the tidal wave of over-population that will determine our future world configuration.

Does anyone out there see what I see? Please respond. Pro or con...no le hace. What is to be done...?
