BSE CASE CONFIRMED IN ALBERTA OTTAWA, August 15, 2008

BSE tester, the game has never ended, to there is no restarting!  For all those that feel BSE is a non-issue in North America and lives, WAKE UP.Your federal, state, and provincial governments are in a struggle with you and one and other, over the implementation of restriction on beef producers.  Premise ID, animal identification, age verification.... all being pushed upon our ranchers by the bureaucrats and politicians; all the while they tell us it is "industry lead".  Thats some real BS.Mark Purdey, by comparison to the other prion researchers, is a bloody genius!  Nobody..... absolutely nobody else, took the time to travel to all the TSE clusters in the world and examine the environmental conditions and test the soils, waters, tissues, vegetation... for metal abnormalities.  His book, "Animal Pharm" is a must read.  As, are his 14 peer-reviewed papers and many articles, available on his websites and from other websites, like Acres USA.

Once our respective governments have us all signed up for our Premise ID numbers, and registering all the animals for birth dates, etc..... they will very likely implement a mandatory testing of all animals over 30 months of age. Then things could get quite interesting and dirty.

CFIA will have all they need to quarantine 'premises'; putting ranchers and land out of the cattle business. After Alberta implements their mandatory testing for over 30 months, the pressure will be on the rest of Canada and the USA to follow suit.

Meanwhile, everyone will be put off of eating beef and we will be crying for more handouts. When all is said and done, and testing becomes a mandatory practice across the "North American Union".... only a handful of very large multinational companies will be able to afford the privilege of raising cattle. We can either co-operate or leave the business, just as the Alberta Agriculture Minister stated (June 5, 2008) when he announced the Alberta Livestock and Meat Strategy.

Once testing is implemented and we begin to see a clear picture of what source is the likely cause of most of the TSEs across this continent (aka the military industrial complex's use of, and manufacture of, toxic depleted uranium weapons and nuclear explosives, chemical weapons et al), it will be too late to lay the blame at their feet and demand restitution. Most ranchers will have given up the fight by then.

Therefore, the time to fight this BS is now! Their feed story is crap. Start looking at the environmental conditions of these clusters and don't let our secretive and corrupt governments pull the wool over our eyes.

Fool us once = shame on you. Fool us twice = shame on us!

Remember this also, if their 'story' about the feed bans proves incorrect (which it has), then their 'stories' about vCJD being caused by consuming meat may also be very incorrect. Just as Dr. David Brown, and Mark Purdey (as well as others) have stated.... it is more likely that the humans have been exposed to the same environmental toxins as the cattle were, and these disease are occurring separately, without any correlation to one and other via "consumption" of beef.

Feeder cattle prices are stronger here this week than they have been since last September. Don't think that would be happening if the concern for BSE was strong.

You guys need to get your storys straight. You claim the positives came from isolated incidents where a simple mistake was made, and then you claim the incidence rate between the US and Canada is the same. That doesn't make any sense.

[gcreekrch]

Now Sandy, you know the answer to that. The "experts" still don't know for sure the where,what, why, hows, but at least they are fumbling around and actually finding the odd one.
If you boys are worried about importing some maybe you could talk the USDA into running a few more tests down there.

"There's a little concern long-term that some Pacific Rim countries may associate Canada with us," said Lane Broadbent, a vice-president of KIS Futures Inc. in Oklahoma City. [b]




You wish you were so lucky!!!!

We share that concern with the Pacific Rim countries!!! See Below from a former post I made a couple of weeks ago.

"At lunch today, we had the privilege of hosting 3 international students from the college that our kids attend. They are young Koreans who are here to study and learn to speak English well since it seems to be the "universal' language of business.

You will seldom see such well mannered young people from our own culture - they literally jumped to their feet with heads slightly bowed when I walked into the room and after introductions, would not sit down until I "gave them permission" to sit after I had taken my own seat.

My daughter has volunteered to tutor a number of Asian students in English and when they learned that she is a farm girl, they wished to see what a Canadian farm looks like. At 150 acres, my farm is very small scale, but representative of the larger scale eastern Canadian farms around us which run from 500 to 5000+ acres.

When they learned that we farm 150 acres, they were completely blown away by the "immense" size of it, slapping their foreheads in disbelief. I made it clear that 150 acres is tiny in Ontario. "Well", they said,"you would be the richest man in Korea!"

The part that got interesting was when the discussion turned to our beef production and the export market. They quickly and enthusiastically came around to the recent Korean protests against U.S. beef being sold in their homeland.

"We don't trust the Americans" was one of their emphatic statements. "They are not honest. They say they do not have B.S.E. but we know they do. They are just quiet about it." (Many hush hush hand motions here) "When Canada finds one, you are open, you do not cover it up. You tell everyone even if it is not good for you. The Americans are not honest . . . ." . . . and on they went, momentarily shedding their usual reserve. Methinks the U.S. has much more than just a little P.R. work to do.

I found it hard to argue against what they were saying. And I will find out if they are willing to put their faith in our system to the test when, for supper, I offer them prime rib from the steer we just got butchered.

Just thought this encounter might be of interest to y'all."




By the way, they ate the steaks and said "We have never had steak like that before".

If feed is the transmission agent, why weren't there out breaks of BSE the same level as in the UK everywhere the UK shipped MBM?
