In days gone by I would just assume everyone had at least heard of the Greek mythological Twelve Labors of Heracles I doubt that’s true today, but to the point.
“Hercules………tore a big opening in the wall of the cattle-yard where the stables were. Then he made another opening in the wall on the opposite side of the yard.” (Editor's note: Heracles or Hercules? either is acceptable. I used what was presented by the authors. RK)
"Next, he dug wide trenches to two rivers which flowed nearby. He turned the course of the rivers into the yard. The rivers rushed through the stables, flushing them out, and all the mess flowed out the hole in the wall on other side of the yard.”Well, the king didn’t like the fact he accomplished this task since now he had to give up a tenth of his herd. Therefore he reneged and demanded more tasks from Heracles because he was paid to do it.
It
was a stupid story, and like all the Green myths is filled with irrational
paradigms, but the story is instructive in this way: No matter what you do to
appease tyrants, it will never be enough. The greenies and their acolytes
in government, just as corrupt King Eurystheus dealt with Heracles, it will
never be satisfied.
On
Feb. 12, 2019 Coral Davenport posted this article: Top Leader at Interior Dept. Pushes a Policy Favoring His
Former Client saying:
- "David Bernhardt, the agency’s acting chief, wants to roll back endangered-species protections on a tiny fish, a change that benefits few outside a California group he once represented as a lobbyist."
She
then goes on to attempt to cast aspersions on Bernhardt’s integrity saying
among other things:
- “Because Mr. Bernhardt’s actions would disproportionately benefit one of his former clients, independent ethics specialists said that, under the terms of the Trump administration’s ethics pledge, which Mr. Bernhardt signed, he should not have been given clearance to act. Its “revolving door” provision requires former lobbyists to recuse themselves for two years from any particular matter or specific issue on which they lobbied in the two years before joining the administration.”
So,
apparently it was better that former heads of these departments and
agencies worked for their clients, the green movement? Whether
they were ever paid by them or not is immaterial. They were philosophical
clients. They were worked unendingly to attain the goals of the
activists over and over again as has been shown by the many “Sue and Settle”
articles exposing the conspiracy between green activists and bureaucrats at the
EPA, the Wildlife Services, and others. Constantly twisting and turning
simple laws into often times insurmountable and irrational
regulations, never intended by Congress.
So
I say good for Trump!!!!!
At
least now we know there’s someone in there that actually knows what he’s
talking about, and knows first-hand the chicanery they adopt and horsepucky
greenies spew out to get their way, and how to overcome it.
The
ESA has done little to actually save species but it’s been the “go to law” that
allows activists and deep state bureaucrats to overturn Constitutional
guarantees regarding private property, one of the goals of all socialist
movements.
The
Endangered Species Act really is doing what it's supposed to do. Halt human
progress. Saving species is just the emotional hook, and the Congress that
voted on this had the so-called 'romantic' species in mind, and were shocked
when the Tennessee Valley dam project came to a screeching halt over the snail
darter.
Congress
actually had to pass special legislation to overcome this outrage. The ESA gave
individuals standing to sue the government over environmental issues, which is
now out of control with the EPA actually helping activists sue them in order to
get power the legislature didn't deem appropriate to give to them. Now we're
saving microscopic shrimp to the detriment of pesticide users, and it's one of
the most prolific species on the planet.
Once
again, I find Trump’s insights into these irrational, misanthropic and morally
defective laws to be amazing, and no politician running for President would
have an iota of the courage he’s demonstrated to bring this to a halt.
Kudos
to Trump!!!!!!! We need a Herculean figure to clean out the swamp. I hope he can
divert a river of wise decisions that does it.
I’ve
posted and written extensively about this. You may wish to peruse some of the
articles, including that regarding the Delta smelt.

For the benefit of those who are new to the pest control
industry and new to Paradigms and Demographics - or those who just
refused to pay attention: Here are some Endangered Species Act articles that
give the history on how outrageous this piece of legislation
is. This will explain TVA vs. Hill. which is fundamental to our
battle.
ESA Outrages, Part I Thursday, September 18, 2008
ESA Outrages, Part II Monday, September 22, 2008 ESA Outrages, Part III Saturday, October 18,
2008
Congress needs to step in to end this game of ‘endangered
chicken’ once and for all. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is recklessly
driving the taxpayers’ truck on a collision course with our economy, food
producers, true species steward landowners and taxpayers.
"Let’s hope Congress takes the keys away before more
damage is done." - Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples, in
testimony to the United States House of Representatives Committee on Natural
Resources. "It is clear the ESA has been used to accomplish the
goals of radicals and those seeking to expand the reach of government,” Staples
communicated to the Committee in a prepared statement of testimony.
