Cowboy Movies

[Guest guest]

This underscores an important point. The beef industry has been careful

to keep those old pastoral images of wide open plains and huge pastures

full of contented cattle in our heads. Those are long gone, and anyone

who has ever seen how cattle are raised and fed these days knows how

horrible it is. They're kept in tiny enclosures, crowded together so much

they often rub sores into each other. They stand in their own excrement

and are fed from rusty troughs. Sometimes cows die and remain standing,

so dense can the crowding be.

 

There are no pastures, other than for organic cattle. This is simply true.

 

But oh those nice Cowboy Movie images die hard -- one wonders how many

cowboy movies are sponsored or underwritten by the beef industry.

I am literally on the run, sleeping under trees, and enduring unremittant

surveillance. The authorities grow more desperate to discredit me with

each passing day now that they know my intent of taking this story public.

... You see, the man I reported as a possible suspect in the Green River

Serial Murders had the highest national security clearence possible. He

had been in charge of nuclear weapon deployment in Germany in the late

1970s. As one person said, " It sounds like a delusional disorder.'' That

is exactly what the FBI would like you to believe. ... Approximately one

year ago they managed to implant a microscopic camera and

brainwave-sensing device into a lens placed into my eye during routine

cataract surgery. --FBI's Zero Files, (7/10/1997)
