How "We" Make It Work

Writing for the Red Prairie Dust Magazine is holding me accountable. A peek at this quarter's article which allowed me to share thoughts on How I Make It Work... div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Tradtitions

For the past year I've contributed to an online magazine called The Prairie Dust Trail. The last article our editor asked contributors to share traditions that mattered. I like writing for this unique homesteading magazine as it forces me to sit down and focus. I'm a little scattered at times. My main focus for nearly a decade has been on exposing the corruption and attacks against our food producers, cattle in my instance. This ask of our editor made me reflect on who, what and why I might be so passionate about protecting our rights and freedoms....

"My great grandfather Oscar Chain homesteaded the land I call home in 1893. He traded a shot gun and 50.00 for it. He was 17 at the time and too young to file a claim, so made the deal later with a previous homesteader whose wife got homesick. My thought is this poor lady had no idea what she was getting herself into when her husband said, “I have an idea, let’s move to a land of blackjack trees, sandburs, coyotes and no neighbors for miles…you’ll love it.” The poor lady didn’t. I’m glad my grandfather made the trade. Living on this land has created who I am A few years after the trade Oscar would marry Laura Hickock (yes Wild Bill’s cousin), and to that union came my granddad, Lenard. Laura was big and strong and loved chickens, turkeys and her garden. She would cook for many harvest crews during her lifetime. I share many of those loves. I would be satisfied if I never went to town and could hang with my animals all day. I’ve cooked for many a hand as well, from cattle gatherings to harvest crews. Her equipment was a cast iron stove and wood. Mine total electric or gas. I don’t believe I would trade. My mom, Darla was a city girl. She was a great cook, a wonderful artist and loved nice things. My grandmothers, Grace Chain, Lenard’s wife, and Hazel England, my mom’s mother were good cooks, devoted to their families and communities. My grandmother Hazel was a partner in the Stong and England Grocery with her husband Les England and her brother Harold Stong, for five decades. My memory of her is “doing books” in a tiny room, her “office” in the back of the store, or up front checking out customers. Her motto was, “the customer is always right”. My aunt Wymola (Chain) Sander was a powerful influence as well, she kept me plugged into town life making sure I got to the Canton Christian Church VBS and caught the bus to Fairview for swimming lessons, Canton had no swimming pool back then. When I was 8 she was killed in a plane crash along with her husband and another couple. That impacted my life forever. With the homesteading on every 160 acres, the landscape from Oscar’s time to later years changed drastically. Country schools popped up along with women’s clubs. Consolidated VI was a large country school located about six miles from my house. A women’s extension club known as Con Six Club emerged in the early 1900’s and was the hub of this growing community. The ladies from around the community would gather monthly to discuss the upkeep of the outhouse at the local cemetery or what was needed for upcoming holiday festivities. Some of the greatest memories I have are attending these meetings and enjoying the local extravaganzas. No jeans or sloppy shirts. The dress code would have been considered business formal I’d say. Sloppy dressing was reserved for chicken killing and laundry day, never for club. These women were great influencers in my life, but I must be honest most of my mentors were ranch hands. I liked domestic life but loved ranch life more. From fishing, to horseback riding, to showing livestock, I was with one of them or my grandad Lenard and dad, Ralph Chain from dawn until dusk. The women taught me to cook and have a little etiquette but my heart was outdoors. The most important tradition passed down to me was experiencing the dedicated faithfulness my dad had in making sure we were at church. Sunday morning and evening we were sitting in the pews of the “Y” Church of Christ located three miles from my home. No questions asked. For as long as I can remember up until my young adult life we rarely missed. I was baptized there and hold many fond memories. From a mouse running back and forth across the glass baptistry to watching a squirrel build its nest in the chimney, I can still see the faces of those who attended and where they sat. Funny what you remember. So passing down traditions to me encompasses quite a bit. Community stands out. Faith in God. Structure. Dedication. Faithfulness. Standing by your word. Good Stewardship. My dad always said what we have been given is just on loan from God and we are just here taking care of it. I guess I try to apply that to my family, husband, home kids, health, animals, chores, church work etc. I grew up in a very blessed era that included a God-fearing family and community. My goal is to keep that blessing alive. God gives us gifts we can decide to use them and share with others, or we can sit and complain. I pray I keep sharing these traditions for as long as I can."

What I've learned so far this week: Desire and Deception to destroy the World's Food and Resource Producers and Our Country runs deep

 1. Burner Accounts are being used by an Oklahoma congressman to destroy the character of good men running against him. This same public official holds the position of ranking member of the committee on Science, Space and Technology; sits on the Finance Committee; was asked to be taken off Ag Committee while...

5. conservatives are up in arms over voting discrepancies in last week's OKC mayoral race...   

                             See what you come up with when you CONNECT THOSE DOTS

                                                     Then consider these facts...

1. Kansas governor Kelly earmarked $500,000 to put in place HSUS representatives within the ag committee, this makes one of the largest beef producing states under radical animal activist's control.

2. Radicals such as HSUS now have powerful control within the Texas legislature as Texas Human Legislative Network THLN controls policy concerning food animals within the state of Texas. 8 out of 10 of the Ag committee in Texas including the chair endorse THLN. "Legislate to Decide Their Fate" is their motto.  Texas along with Kansas have allowed radicals  to work their way into key institutions ushering in the enemy to animal food production.

3. Civil asset forfeiture, a legal tool that allows law enforcement officials to seize property they deem involved in criminal activity, is being used against an innocent zoo keeper in VA destroying his life and livelihood.  They are hoping the new Red Virginia governor will pardon this injustice.

It appears the top down, bottom up, inside out Marxist attacks upon our food supply and the positioning of WOKE within the fiber of America is in place.  What in the world can you and I do about those  intent on destroying the machine that runs America: her good people, her great resources, her goodness and greatness?  

                                            

                                            Remember SUNLIGHT is a Great Disinfectant 

Pull the curtain back- EXPOSE those within associations, organizations, foundations, those who sit on boards at the local and state level, the ag leaders, congressmen, legislators, agricultural media that are packing water for "SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, SUSTAINABLE "  regulations and policy.  If these ag leaders and media after 10 years wallowing in centralized control have not stood up for freedom, they clearly work for the enemy.

VOTE THEM OUT OF CONGRESS, OUT OF PUBLIC OFFICE, OUT OF THEIR POSITIONS AS AG LEADERS!

Order My Steps

Feverishly fighting and educating my fellow producers about the evil encroaching upon their livelihoods has pretty much exhausted me. I have always been a step behind.  Or several decades it seems because this global consortium has been here for years embedding itself within our federal agencies- I found out just how long and how deep a few weeks ago when we encountered an "environmental mitigation" condemnation from ODOT. With a bit of research I realized that the same World Wildlife Fund orchestrating the production of my cattle via the GRSB and USRSB had also been orchestrating the wetland scheme for several decades upon American soil. The Wildlife Society who nudged this along is kissing cousins to the WWF who has been requiring our herd sustainability since 2010.  Jason Clay entered the scene at the NCBA Summer Conference in Denver that year and told the audience full of cattlemen we were not sustainable. I'm tired of thinking about that day and the years that would follow as I tried to stop leaders from partnering with this guy.

I'm tired of trying to fight the bad guy. Just when I thought I had them all all figured out this behemoth grew larger. The evil I watched enter our farms and ranches grew like a cancer.  I witnessed our federal government implement Soros' global control plans. I watched just how these global elites use public private partnerships to get their infiltrating done.  I watched WWF infiltrate our once trusted ag organizations, foundations, associations and ag media and begin partnering and advancing a carefully designed control scheme based on global warming, climate change and sustainability.

Watching our checkoff dollars being used against us has taken a toll. Witnessing the largest oldest contractor of those dollars, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, force our partnership with the World Wildlife Fund then push us to the table with the cartel who orchestrated the Global and U.S. Roundtables for Sustainable Development Beef has been spectacular to watch.  And not in a good way, but in the way I watched the twin towers fall.  It was agonizing to watch leadership begin aiding and abetting this monopolistic global beef trust. This cartel now controls not only our markets but the "sustainable"production standards we must follow if we want to sell our product: cattle.

I am tired of opening the mail and being told how to manage the water, air, land and animals upon my ranch.  I am tired of watching helplessly as all sectors of the U.S. cattle industry slip away while leaders who live off our funds use those funds against us.

I'm tired of writing resolutions that go nowhere. Tired of reading sustainable propaganda published by employees who take funds from my fellow cattlemen.

 I'm confused about the  book I've endeavored to write so that I can share and educate fellow producers. I have a great intro but the chapters keep multiplying because the hydra grows another head.

Mostly I'm tired of yakking about it. And you're sick of listening to me. By now you know the plan.  Your eyes are opened to those advancing the global sustainable scam.

I believe the Lord has guided me during this time. I remember coming home from an Oklahoma Beef Council meeting where each time I would try to tell my story but was put on "other business".  This particular morning after returning the day before from the four hour trip to and from OKC I was so discouraged that I asked the Lord to either take away what I was understanding or guide me to use what I knew.  I opened my Bible that morning to II Chronicles and a story unfolded that I had never read. The scriptures jumped off the page and I wrote God's message down that morning. I will share it in a later post.   He began ordering my steps and I listened. That day I shook the dust off and moved on. And since then he has placed wonderful fellow cattle producers in my path and He continues  bringing together more and more of us who are witnessing the infiltration of this evil.

When I started the sustainable book (the intro is in September's blog)  I had also started a book for my grandkids, one about being good stewards of everything.  I put that one on the shelf.  I recognize now I had my priorities mixed up. God's word should have taken a front seat. I'm going to begin sharing that with you soon.  I will continue to work on my sustainable book because I truly believe He has placed me here for such a time as this.  But I also believe he wants me to share more of His word.
No time to waste.

Two comforting verses to me are  Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it."  We all want the best for our kids and grandkids. We teach them, dress them take them to church, drill them and dunk them.  Then they leave.  We lose control.  They are in God's hands. Their decisions are no longer our decisions.

But we have a promise. Though they fall, they shall not be utterly cast down for the Lord upholdeth them with his hand. Psalms 37:24

They know the way.  We pray knowing He hears.  

FYI...I hate over using "I" but it  appears I have in this post!  Excuse me and "you" have a good week! 

My Book...a teaser

                                 INTRODUCTION

        Venomous Vague Verbiage                     

  Everybody loves a cowboy, they love their horses and hats, their chaps, their boots and spurs. Rugged and strong they represent American tenacity. Most people forget that these legendary cowboys have been brave protectors of our food supply, our cattle herds. Today they and their counterparts, America’s farmers and ranchers, are on an endangered list.  Threatening their existence are terms such as globalism, sustainability and the Triple Bottom Line, third party audits, mandatory RFID and vertical Integration. These words hold pliable destructive definitions that unleash a Pandora’s Box of foreign policy and regulations forcing them upon our farms.  America’s cattlemen have for centuries provided the nation and world with an abundant supply of safe beef, a vast supply of valuable medical and industrial products, and communities with vibrant businesses and thriving economies.  All of this is being destroyed by nice sounding words that threaten their private property rights and the freedom to farm and ranch and raise their herds the way they see fit. These terms threaten the fiber of rural America and her national community structure, they destroy tax bases and the future of her schools, her hospitals, her small businesses. Much of America’s infrastructure was built around our cattle herds, today it is at stake, those that helped lay the building blocks of rural America, our cowboys, our cattle producers, our farmers and ranchers may soon be only a memory, a story in a book.  America’s food producers; our cowboys, our farmers and ranchers and their property rights must be protected from extinction.

                                 A Witness

This story is an account of what I have witnessed while serving in various local, state and national leadership positions: offices and boards within the beef, cattle and agriculture industries over the past decade.  It has been my personal experiences witnessing trusted Ag groups and fellow agriculturalist hold hands with those advancing a socialist/fascist style path for all of us to travel.  The path they have decided to herd us down drives damaging policy upon all American producers stripping century’s old freedoms and liberties from our hands placing it in the hands of a chosen few who have positioned themselves to partake in lucrative profits at the expense of their fellow producers. I’m not an expert, I’m a fifth generation ranch woman striving to protect my family’s 126 year old ranch from extinction and educate fellow ranchers and the public about threats our nation faces if we lose our American ranches and farms, and ways we as a country can stop these terrorists attacks against our food supply, against our nation’s food producers.

                          How to Build a Century old Ranch

Leaving his home in Haven, Kansas my great grandfather, Oscar Chain, made the Cherokee Strip Run. He was too young to file a claim and was forced to head back to his Kansas farmstead where his folks, 9 brothers and one sister would welcome him back home.  But only for a while, as he would later return to his Oklahoma Territory dream and trade a shot gun and fifty dollars for the 160 acres my family calls home. That was 1893. To this initial 160 acres, more acreages have been acquired.  Today our family operates ranches in Oklahoma and Kansas.  Most family members work on the ranch with the help of great employees, many having been with us for decades, as once they come to work for us, they usually stay and become like family.  We believe that God gives us our rights and that we are caretakers of His animals and land. Today my family works to hold my grandad’s dream together. Foreign influences, regulatory overreach, market manipulation, the repeal of Country of Origin labeling which has stripped competition and our ability to differentiate our U.S. beef from foreign imports as foreign beef is now allowed a Product of US label.  These are all issues we battle each and every day, issues that would be foreign to Grandad Oscar. Determination. Hard work. Diligent stewardship. Total complete faith in God.  That’s how you build farms and ranches that last.

                               Regulated Out of Business

We will look at how producers are forced to comply with mounting “sustainable” regulations upon their lands, waters, air and animals, all components needed to produce food. With each new policy or regulation placed within one of these sectors profits and freedoms diminish opening the door for bankruptcies, land auctions and the opportunity for those who caused the shuttering to purchase the property for pennies on the dollar.

NGO’s are Non-Government Organizations.  We will look at how NGOs, and Public Private Partnerships which are partnerships among global elites and big environmental groups have infiltrated once trusted foundations, associations, organizations, agriculture and mainstream media and land grant universities to change governments, sway thinking and inject profit destroying policies upon our ranches. You will be introduced to the methods, means, and mantras used to implement this stealth takeover of America’s food providers, hopefully the dots will connect, eyes will open to the battle we face to hold on to our freedom of providing America and the world with a high quality, safe, abundant beef supply and vibrant rural communities.

  

                       Who Wants Control of Our Stuff?

Population Control, the Communist Manifesto’s 10 Planks, and the Russian Constitution, what do they all have in common? Besides being blatantly evil, Anti American and unconstitutional, those advancing the demise of America’s heartland, are tied to destructive centralized control efforts and ideologies that have made their way upon our farms and ranches: The Global and U.S. Roundtables for Sustainable Beef consortiums are one in the same and are destroying America’s beef producers.  Today The Green New Deal is something we hear a lot about, this idea is not new. Green architects have been working to undermine our sovereignty for decades.  Perhaps you remember the Buffalo Commons of 1987, a plan concocted by Frank J and Deborah Popper to remove food producers from the land and replace them with buffalo. Frank Popper was chairman of Rutgers University urban studies department and an international expert on land-use planning…remember that phrase, Deborah, a Rutgers geographer. Their idea was to convert much of America's prairie into public domain for its original residents- the buffalo.  The Poppers didn’t go home, their idea spawned more green do-gooders. Landowners, beef producers, farmers and ranchers from 10 Great Plains states from the 98th meridian to the Rockies, the area the Poppers wanted returned to the bison, continually battle attacks in areas that matter to their existence: air, land, water and animals.
Today Green New Dealers have found avenues to remove landowners.  The lure of conservation easements and the expansion of endangered species are prime examples. The WWF, The World Wildlife Fund for Nature uses economically burdensome regulations that demand our sustainability to control our animal production methods ultimately driving producers out of business and off their land.  The Nature Conservancy, TNC steps in to pick up the pieces for pennies on the dollar.  They work as a team.  The Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef which holds UN standards for American producers to follow has been orchestrated by WWF.  The global sustainable standards are ushered into the U.S. and upon America’s farms through the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef.  If a producer is unable to meet sustainable standards which must be certified through a third party audit, the 4 remaining packers who also participate in the roundtables and hold monstrous power as they are the purchaser of our product, won’t purchase our product. So if we don’t meet the standards of global sustainability they won’t buy our beef.  If we don’t have a buyer for our product- no income.  With no income we lose our land.  Both WWF and TNC are founding members of the GRSB which demands our sustainability. Tyson, Cargill, JBS and Marfrig are members.   We will look at how those who set up the GRSB are tied to those advancing the Buffalo Commons and The Green New Deal.  Orchestration of this global food consortium began in earnest in 2012-13.  The same WWF that promotes humanism, Planned Parenthood and population control, a gathering of atheist that support ideals contrary to everything we stand for, helped organize the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef and holds within its power our sustainability standards.  Our very own agricultural organizations have opened the barn doors of our farms to this enemy of freedom.  They have allowed them upon our American farms and ranches to determine our sustainable practices demanding the verification of those standards dictating whether we receive a green light to market our product. The US Roundtable for Sustainable Beef policy, the U.S. child of the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef was voted upon all Oklahoma ranches at the 2017 OCA Convention opening a floodgate of foreign rules found within the Sustainable Ag Initiaivate for Beef Platform, a U.N. policy guide for American ranchers to follow. We will take a look at many of the other members of the Control Team.  

                             The Elephant in the Room

Where does this desire of control come from? According to the nation’s top experts on sustainable development and biodiversty, those that have researched for decades; Tom DeWeese American Policy Center; the late Henry Lamb author of The Rise of Global Governance, Rosa Koire, Democrats Against Agenda 21 Sustainable Development author of Behind the Green Mask and the late Michael Coffman conclude that sustainable development is the culprit. The term was first introduced to the world in the pages of a 1987 40 page report, Our Common Future, produced by the United Nations World Commission on Environmental and Development UNCED, authored by Gro Harlem Brundtland, VP of the World Socialist Party. Agenda 21 was given ruling authority when more than 178 nations adopted it as official policy at the Earth Summit. President George H.W. Bush signed the document for the US pledging to adopt the goals of Agenda 21. In 1993, President Bill Clinton, signed an Executive Order in favor. This 40 page action plan set forth the inventorying of all the world’s resources and executed at local, national, and global levels usurping our nation’s local, state and federal laws.  Private property and grazing of livestock, plowing of soil, building fences, economic systems that fail to set proper value on the environment are all unsustainable. Its aim is to achieve global sustainable development. These global standards topple America’s ladder of successes and bring them down to the bottom rung onto an even playing field with third world countries.

A friend of mine once shared that ignoring  Agenda 21 while trying to figure out the attacks upon our country’s urban and rural infrastructure is like attempting to put a 1000 piece puzzle together without its original container-the the box it came in. It helps to see the big picture when putting a puzzle together.  It helps to understand the big picture when you’re at war, understand your enemy so you can defeat them.  Agenda 21/30 Sustainable Development …yes 30 as they are making plans to advance into 2030…is designed to destroy not only America’s beef and food producers but our sovereignty.  The enemy for several decades has quietly, systematically, incrementally moved a Trojan horse upon, not only our farms and ranches, but everything that matters to America, our small businesses, our health care, banking, our energy sources, our infrastructure unleashing unobtainable sustainable global regulations designed to destroy the U.S. from within.

 My story exposes those who developed the horse and its unobtainable, ever shifting sustainable regulations, those that helped push it upon our private property and those who held the door open while the regulations were unloaded upon our businesses handing us bludgeoning sustainable regulations to carry upon our land, water, air and animals; upon our private property.   If you value your current freedoms and want those freedoms for future generations, understanding Agenda 21/30 and how it is dismantling our entire nation isn’t an option, it’s mandatory. Once you understand share your knowledge with others then get to work exposing those who are advancing it.

                        The Good Guys at Work

The good guys always show up.  The Lone Ranger and Tonto, Bullwinkle, Captain America, Iron Man, the Hulk…whoever… always sweep in to save the day.  We loved those heroes but knew the pathway to those victories was always a little extreme and farfetched.  Our gut tells us this battle against evil is real and big and we wish Superman or someone would come in and take out the bad guy. But the truth is it’s up to us.  We do have some heroes stepping up, a growing number of good guys gathering to fend off these global attacks. A movement to take our ability to protect our ranches- America’s beef producers back is underway.  Education and raising awareness of the assaults has been the first step.  Most ranchers know something is amiss but are too busy making a living and “picking up the continual barrage of regulatory marbles” being dumped on their barn floors.  They search for ways to comply with the ever moving bar of sustainability hoping to please the enemy, we are market takers not market makers and the fear of not fitting those standards is real.  Secondly we are being forced to expose the agriculture associations, organizations, foundations and media that are supporting our demise.  These once trusted groups are marching full throttle on the path with the enemy. But we will stand and shed a light.   This book is intended to be a tool to help those producers who are searching for answers understand the big picture of this war being waged against them and push back against those destroying their livelihoods, their communities and their nation’s food production system. It’s a call to rally our cowboys to saddle up and protect their fellow cattlemen, to ride herd over what matters to America: her food supply and those who produce it.

Nothing New Under the Sun Including Sustainable Development

 I wrote the piece below last summer after listening to KrisAnne Hall speak at the CICA Convention.  As the Global and U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef advances upon our farms and ranches (thanks to the National Cattlemen's Beef Association and Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association opening the policy doors last January then again at the OCA convention when members who did not understand the full concept of what they were voting upon allowed  U.N. regulations into Oklahoma) we can't ignore these advances.  Education is our means of protecting our private property rights, our family's heritage, our farms and ranches. One size fits all does not apply to us, we understand that, however those advancing the sustainable development scheme to control us "top down"- dictator like- continue to advance that concept. It is an agenda that will destroy America's farming and ranching families because the mark of acceptance, according to those in control, will always continue to move and with that movement added costs will be incurred..  

This article sheds more light on the evil behind those pushing for "Sustainable Development" ...advocates of control have been around a long time in some form or fashion. 

By the way, I did throw myself in front of the USRSB bus at the 2017 OCA convention. I got ran over. A  well orchestrated strong "voice vote" overthrew my resolution (see below). A handful of folks at that meeting decided top down centralized control upon your ranches and farms would be best. The USRSB advanced and in May a national meeting was held in Norman- OCA sponsored that meeting.  On Sunday, July 1, 2018 the "comment" deadline for cattle producers across the country to voice their concerns about the U.N. guided terms expired. 

                                                                  Kris Anne Hall           

The Grand Remonstrance of 1641. Heard of it? Neither had I until this week when attorney- prosecutor, Russian linguist, mother, veteran, pastor’s wife, constitutional educator, KrisAnne Hall, shared this very important piece of history at the Colorado Independent CattlegrowersAssociation convention.  Sustainable development had been exploited to control masses nearly 400 years ago. King Charles tried it. He died trying, his subjects saw to it.

KrisAnne took questions and I asked how we could stop the U.N. infested Global Roundtable and U.S. Roundtables for Sustainable Beef from entering our farms forcing control upon us.  “Do you think the use of sustainable development to control the masses is new?”, she asked.  Then she shared the solution: “You just say NO!”

She rattled off familiar sounding issues from 1641...and 2017.  I researched.  King Charles was controlling his subjects by bringing in foreign law to deny people their guaranteed rights through a corruption of the courts, kept them in oppressed conditions not admitting them to be bailed, vexed them with “informations” in inferior courts, enlarged the forests while converting arable land (farmable) into pasture, worked on depopulation, drove millions out of his subject’s purses…and much more.

It all sounded too familiar, foreign law aka the UN, Forest Service Agency and all other federal agencies, imprisoned ranchers, corrupt courts…the whole nine yards.  The solution?  Well, those subjects stood up when they got fed up.

This document is an invaluable lesson illustrating a people’s determination to halt the overturning and undermining of their Liberty. Americans we MUST make the same efforts to stop the weapon of sustainable development which is subtly undermining our freedoms today in the 21^st century.

The Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association meets this week to discuss policy during their annual convention. One item on the agenda; the advancement of the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef. Lord willing, I will be there to throw myself in front of that tyrannical control policy train.  If passed a socialist communist top down control will be placed upon our U.S. food producing ranchers and the U.N. is smack dab it the middle of it. Oklahomans who own a bovine I invite you to join me.

                Resolution to stop GRSB/USRSB policy upon Oklahoma Cattle Producers

  

Whereas America’s farmers, less than 2% of the U.S. population, have for centuries chosen to continually improve their farms and ranches as they see fit, sustaining the world with a safe, abundant, healthy food supply;

Whereas if a nation cannot produce its own food supply destruction is evident

Whereas Sustainable Development is a term that houses a method of control created by those advancing globalism which uses the climate change narrative and  false science  based on skewed data to create policy forcing regulations upon U.S. food producers in the areas of air, land, water and animals all components of food production;

Whereas beef production was deemed unsustainable by foreign entities during the 1992 U.N. Global Conference on Sustainability in Rio de  Janeiro  spawning the 21^st century global centralized control attempt to infiltrate the U.S. with foreign regulations;  

Whereas Sustainable Development requirements, thus far, have shut down America’s Bread Basket of the World, the San Joaquin Valley, and thousands of food producers daily since centralized control efforts began taking root in the U.S. in 2008; under the Obama administration

Whereas the term Sustainable Development was unknown to the majority of U.S. cattlemen prior to World Wildlife Federation’s VP of Market Transformation, Jason Clay’s presentation urging their “sustainability” during the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association’s 2010 summer conference;

Whereas many U.S. cattlemen are unaware of the fact Sustainable Development holds the power to destroy their liberty and profitability through the ever moving target of “continuous improvement” ;

Whereas the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association utilizing all U.S. cattlemen’s funds partnered with the World Wildlife Fund whose efforts are to control and minimize beef production;

Whereas the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef whose vision and mission fit the Soviet Union Constitution of 1977 Chapter 7 Article 39 was created by the World Wildlife Fund, JBS, SA, Tyson, McDonalds, Walmart and other multinational protein packers and environmental groups expanding today into a large centralized control consortium being used to drive regulations upon U.S. food producers and vertically integrate the beef industry by capturing the supply chain away from independent cattle producers;

Whereas JBS SA, the world’s largest protein exporter and one of the initial founders of the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef has been involved in two multinational meat scandals, the largest ever; Operation Weak Flesh dealing with exportation of tainted beef and Operation Car Wash dealing with extortion and bribery.

Whereas the World Wildlife Fund supports Meatless Mondays according to SODEXO; packer monopolies have been created due to Anti-Trust laws being ignored; Country of Origin Labeling created an avenue for GRSB members to export foreign tainted beef into the U.S.  flooding the market destroying the livelihoods of 1,000’s of U.S. independent cattle producer; it is clear  those who make up the GRSB do not have the best interest of the U.S. independent cattle producer in mind;

Whereas the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association the largest and oldest contractor of beef checkoff funds joined the GRSB (Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef) utilizing the funds of all U.S. cattle producers to do so;

Whereas the GRSB (Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef) supports the Sustainable Ag Initiative which sets forth guidelines the U.S. producer must comply under United Nation’s standards;

Whereas as the packers who assisted in the creation of the GRSB (Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef) guidelines do not comply with their created sustainable  regulations, but force U.S. beef producers to do so;

Whereas according to the U.S. constitution foreign law cannot be brought into the U.S.

Whereas in 2017 the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef is being injected at the local and state level to usurp the U.S. constitution carrying destructive foreign policy and outside regulations upon U.S. food producer’s destroying their freedom and liberty to produce their product as they see fit while the packers who initiated the agenda escape scrutiny;

Resolved

Throughout history individuals seeking top down centralized control:  King Charles I prior to the Great Remonstrance of 1641 was one of the first to attempt to drive “sustainable development” upon the masses; King George who chose to “erect a multitude of new offices and send hither swarms of officers to harass his people and eat out their substance” and Polpot, Lenin, Mao, Mussolini, Hitler and other dictators, were stopped by a remnant willing to take a stand against tyranny;

Therefore Oklahoma independent livestock growers reject any further involvement with any entity, program or individual advancing in any form top down, continuous improvement dictated by outside forces, and, with the protection of liberty as our goal, we reject Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef knowing producer’s involvement will strip our free market economy.

 So cattle producer's decisions on how you raise your animals is being decided by a handful of folks- some I'm certain who couldn't run a steer through a chute- are currently deciding that for you.  The importance of becoming educated on what these people are doing and your involvement in stopping their agenda must be a priority if we are to remain on the land and allowed to produce as we see fit.  The Oklahoma Independent Stockgrowers Association  was formed  in October, 2017 with monthly meetings being held across the state Cattlemen and women have had the opportunity to hear great speakers share the truth about what is actually taking place, the methods of infiltration and the destruction caused by centralized control/vertical integration attempts upon our farms. Today we have tremendous interest and a growing number of members. Out of necessity OISA was formed and we are here to offer education. R-CALF USA is our national organization and the source for truth and transparency and works solely to protect the producer.   Other independent groups across the U.S. have formed as well in Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Kansas, Colorado, and others.   It is very important to stay connected with R-CALF USA and these other state organizations as they are made up of folks like you and I- they understand the environment we are in and the direction we are being taken by the packers and radical environmental groups who have infiltrated our once trusted organizations.  

Identifying Bad Actors

This past Saturday night a few Oklahoma cattlemen gathered to listen to R CALF USA's Bill Bullard speak on Making America's Beef Industry Great Again in the historic OKC stockyards district. We also discussed the misuse of our beef checkoff funds, and the advancement of the destructive Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef agenda which is positioning itself onto American farms and ranches with the implementation of the US Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, both tied to radical extremists and the United Nations.  Hidden within this agenda are the Sustainable Ag Initiative guidelines which demand  UN standards be met by American cattle producers. The USRSB was voted on and advanced by the OCA membership with the nudging of leaders this summer, after my attempt to stop it.

Simultaneously, that Saturday night, in a small southern Oklahoma town our OCA executive director was speaking World Willdlife Fund praises to a group of cattle producers. The WWF is the very group advancing the GRSB.
For years I have shared my concerns, my diagrams illustrating the dark connections to this consortium and our need as an industry to not go down this destructive path. Not once but many many times I have expressed my concerns with our OCA director and his staff and board and our NCBA executive director (who now works for this consortium) and his staff.

On Sunday we stopped by Bob Mills Furniture to look at office furniture.  We were blessed with a bright young salesman. As I shopped Brad explained to him what our family does and how we and other beef producers are being regulated out of business. When I checked out this young man was still full of questions and he continued quizzing me. So I took a piece of paper and crudely sketched a diagram of how our nation's beef producers are being destroyed using the term sustainability via the GRSB and USRSB. He quickly named the GRSB and USRSB "nonsense structures of control" and when I was finished connecting the visual dots he just as quickly within seconds said "that's a cartel".This young man understood this evil structure yet the Global and US Roundtable for Sustainable Beef had been hailed as a great thing by our very own leadership the night before.. 

When a young man who understood little about  the structure of agriculture but quickly picked up what is happening to the American Beef producer in a brief conversation ... his final thoughts being "that's pretty sick".... We have a monumental problem.

Within the USRSB/UN guidelines lurk demands for continual improvement and the reduction of "bad actors".   Bad actors? You're not finding them on our farms you're finding them in the offices that claim to represent us
