This morning was a most gorgeous spring morning: nary a breeze, the sun was shining and faces were smiling as Valley County residents lined up to receive their free trees. The Valley County Free Tree Day handed out a total of 1,700 lilac, choke cherry, caragana, buffaloberry, American plum and golden current trees, as well as an additional 200 Amur maple trees to the first 200 people. Sponsoring agency this year was Two Rivers Economic Growth. Sponsoring hostesses were Shelley Milles of the Valley County

Flocking to Free Tree Day

Extension Service along with the Nashua Gumbo Gals. Its been a highly successful program according to Valley County Commissioner Dave Pippin, who was instrumental in getting the program off the ground a few years ago. To date, Valley County residents have planted approximately 10,000 free trees. Although Commissioner Pippin is retiring from his position, he plans on helping out with Valley County Free Tree Day in the future and see that this program to help make Valley County greener and cleaner continues.

The Bundy Paradigm: Will You Be a Rebel, Revolutionary or a Slave?

By John W. Whitehead

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.John F. Kennedy
Those tempted to write off the standoff at the Bundy Ranch as little more than a show of force by militia-minded citizens would do well to reconsider their easy dismissal of this brewing rebellion. This goes far beyond concerns about grazing rights or the tension between the state and the federal government. Few conflicts are ever black and white, and the Bundy situation, with its abundance of gray areas, is no exception. Yet the question is not whether Cliven Bundy and his supporters are domestic terrorists, as Harry Reid claims, or patriots, or something in between. Nor is it a question of whether the Nevada rancher is illegally grazing his cattle on federal land or whether that land should rightfully belong to the government. Nor is it even a question of whos winning the showdown the government with its arsenal of SWAT teams, firepower and assault vehicles, or Bundys militia supporters with their assortment of weapons because if such altercations end in bloodshed, everyone loses. What were really faced with, and what well see more of before long, is a growing dissatisfaction with the government and its heavy-handed tactics by people who are tired of being used and abused and are ready to say enough is enough. And it wont matter what the issue iswhether its a rancher standing his ground over grazing rights, a minister jailed for holding a Bible study in his own home, or a community outraged over police shootings of unarmed citizensthese are the building blocks of a political powder keg. Now all that remains is a spark, and it need not be a very big one, to set the whole powder keg aflame. As I show in my book, A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State, theres a subtext to this incident that must not be ignored, and it is simply this: America is a pressure cooker with no steam valve, and things are about to blow. This is what happens when a parasitical government muzzles the citizenry, fences them in, herds them, brands them, whips them into submission, forces them to ante up the sweat of their brows while giving them little in return, and then provides them with little to no outlet for voicing their discontent. The government has been anticipating and preparing for such an uprising for years. For example, in 2008, a U.S. Army War College report warned that the military must be prepared for a violent, strategic dislocation inside the United States, which could be provoked by unforeseen economic collapse, purposeful domestic resistance, pervasive public health emergencies or loss of functioning political and legal orderall related to dissent and protests over Americas economic and political disarray. Consequently, predicted the report, the widespread civil violence would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security. One year later, in 2009, the Department of Homeland Security under President Obama issued its infamous reports on

According to these reports, Its not just the Cliven Bundys of the world who are being dealt an extremist is defined as anyone who subscribes to a particular with in this manner. Don Miller, a 91-year-old antiques collector, political viewpoint. Rightwing extremists, for example, are broadly recently had his Indiana home raided by the FBI, ostensibly because defined in the report as individuals and groups that are mainly it might be in the nations best interest if the rare and valuable antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or antiques and artifacts Miller had collected over the course of 80 years local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. were cared for by the government. Such tactics carried out by anyone Despite no specific information that domestic rightwing other than the government would be considered grand larceny, and terrorists are currently planning acts of violence, the DHS listed yet the government gets a free pass. a number of scenarios that could arise as a result of so-called In the same way, the government insists it can carry out all rightwing extremists playing on the publics fears and discontent manner of surveillance on uslisten in on our phone calls, read over various issues, including the economic downturn, real estate our emails and text messages, track our movements, photograph foreclosures and unemployment. our license plates, even enter our biometric information into DNA Equally disconcerting, the reports use the words terrorist databasesbut those who dare to return the favor, even a little, by and extremist interchangeably. In other words, voicing what filming potential police misconduct, get roughed up by the police, the government would consider to be extremist viewpoints is arrested, charged with violating various and sundry tantamount to being a terrorist.

The document also took pains to describe the political This phenomenon is what philosopher Abraham Kaplan views of those who would qualify as being a rightwing extremist. referred to as the law of the instrument, which essentially says that to For example, you are labeled a rightwing extremist if you voice a hammer, everything looks like a nail. In the scenario that has been concerns about a myriad of issues including: policy changes under playing out in recent years, we the citizenry have become the nails to President Obama; the economic downturn and home foreclosures; be hammered by the governments henchmen, a.k.a. its guns for hire, the loss of U.S. jobs in manufacturing and construction sectors; a.k.a. its standing army, a.k.a. the nations law enforcement agencies. and social issues such as abortion, interracial crimes and Indeed, there can no longer be any doubt that militarized police immigration.

democracy that is purports to be, but rather an oligarchy, in which economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy. As PolicyMic explains, An oligarchy is a system where power is effectively wielded by a small number of individuals defined by their status called oligarchs. Members of the oligarchy are the rich, the well connected and the politically powerful, as well as particularly well placed individuals in institutions like banking and finance or the military In other words, their statistics say your opinion literally does not matter. So if average Americans, having largely lost all of the conventional markers of influencing government, whether through elections, petition, or protest, have no way to impact their government, no way to be heard, no assurance that their concerns are truly being represented and their government is one by the people, of the people, and for the people, as opposed to being engineered expressly for the benefit of the wealthy elite, then where does that leave them? To some, the choice is clear. As psychologist Erich Fromm recognized in his insightful book, On Disobedience: If a man can only obey and not disobey, he is a slave; if he can only disobey and not obey, he is a rebel (not a revolutionary). He acts out of anger, disappointment, resentment, yet not in the name of a conviction or a principle. Unfortunately, the intrepid, revolutionary American spirit that stood up to the British, blazed paths to the western territories, and prevailed despite a civil war, multiple world wars, and various economic depressions has taken quite a beating in recent years. Nevertheless, the time is coming when each American will have to decide: will you be a slave, rebel or revolutionary?
