waters for US Senate FL., 2012 because The Presidents National Ocean
Councils and the appointed Czars under NOAA/NMFS are putting hard
working, law abiding citizens out of business in the name of United
Nations rules and laws. Even though the President of the United States
of America signed a treaty, without the 2/3 ratification of the US
Senate, nobody has enough grit to call it a treacherous Act of Treason,
to which it is! Now because of the treaty signage into law,
unconstitutionally,Anglers across the country are out of work and
countless millions of pounds of "Discards", dead fish, are dumped
overboard in the name of conservation; when actually it is in the name
of greed. If I were to be elected into the Senate, this Treaty would be
reviewed and nullified to under go the process it should have in the
first place but since The President did not trust the Senate or the
process was too slow, he bypassed the whole process. If the President is
still in the White House come next December, I will be screaming
impeachment or at least invoke the 25th Amendment, before he signs that
away too. The rules of conduct have not been applied here and thus the
rulings under "Best Available Science" are illegal to unconstitutional.
Why must we fisherman, too break the law? Until this is resolved
constitutionally, I would follow the rules to laws of our Country before
the signing of this document, LOST. If by going to jail is the order of
the day because I followed my countries rules & laws; then so be
it! I am an American and not a member of any standing to United Nations
rules to conventions as they ALL ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL!</i><br />

<br />
My name is Chris McCaffity. I am a commercial snapper/grouper fisherman
who has been offering simple solutions that would mitigate many of the
SEVERE negative impacts associated with LAWS written by a bureaucrats
that violate the Magnuson-Stevens Act. Fishermen have been forced to
obey these laws through the barrel of a gun and threats of fines,
seizure of our property, or even imprisonment. We pay the price for our
obedience with our blood, treasure, and liberty. The gross incompetence
of the bureaucrats who claim to have mismanaged almost every stock they
control is rewarded with more money and power to rule us with an iron
fist and the full weight of the federal government behind them. <br />
Roy Crabtree is the SE Regional Administrator for the National Marine
Fisheries Service and sits on the South Atlantic Fishery Management
Council. He told me that if I did not like the way our fisheries are
being managed, then I needed to take it up with Congress. I pray these
Public Comments will find their way to every member of Congress. I pray
these comments will soften the hearts of the fishery “managers” who seem
to feel absolved of any personal responsibility for their actions that
financially DEVASTATE our families, play key roles in the DEATHS of our
fellow fishermen, and cause TONS of perfectly edible fish to be TORTURED
to death and WASTED in the name of CONSERVATION! I PRAY the PUBLIC will
STAND with me against the environmental “charities” and their
bureaucrat puppets that threaten our God-given freedom. <br />
I will be BOYCOTTING the December SAFMC meeting that will be held three
hours away from the closest saltwater. This appears to be an attempt to
disenfranchise a small minority group of American citizens. Many of us
cannot afford to travel and stay at an expensive hotel since our
businesses have been destroyed. I believe this is a passive aggressive
ploy to restrict our freedom of speech. Will Congress allow unelected
bureaucrats to violate our First Amendment Right to peacefully defend
our God-given Rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? <br />
I previously mentioned how the laws written by unelected bureaucrats are
enforced through the barrel of a gun and threats of heavy fines,
seizure of property, or even imprisonment. The enforcement officers
VIOLATE our Fourth Amendment Constitutional Rights as they ILLEGALLY
search and seize our private property. A boat is considered a residence
if it has a head and bunk. The CURTILAGE of that residence includes the
ENTIRE vessel. Any WARRANT-LESS search or seizure of such vessels
associated with anything other than safety violations (as ruled by the
Supreme Court) is UNCONSTITUTIONAL! <br />
EVERY member of Congress and EVERY unelected bureaucrat SWEARS an oath
to uphold and defend the US Constitution against enemies foreign and
domestic. Will Congress hold the domestic enemies of our Constitution
accountable for their actions? Will our Senators and Representatives
HONOR their oath? <br />
The multiple layers of fishery bureaucracy are using tactics laid out in
UN Agenda 21 which Congress recognized as a threat to our Nation’s
sovereignty and to our Constitutional Rights. Congress refused to ratify
that attack on our individual Liberty. Environmental “charities” have
lobbied Congress and pressured bureaucrats to load environmental laws
with Agenda 21 mandates like the Precautionary Principal. Every
President that held office since Congress refused to ratify Agenda 21
has issued executive orders forcing these UN mandates on us. Will
Congress do anything about these Presidential and bureaucratic actions
that usurp their authority? Will the public realize what is happening
before we lose 51% of our freedom? <br />
I ask Congress to take these actions to help America’s fishermen and the seafood we harvest. <br />
1. Give federal fishery permit holders the power to have final approval
of any new regulation effecting their fishery with a 2/3 majority vote.<br />
2. Give federal fishery permit holders the power to access ALL documents
available to fishery “managers” and allow the permit holders to offer
alternate management measures that follow ALL of the guidelines in the
Magnuson-Stevens Act and use existing Total Allowable Catch numbers.<br />
3. Set up an independent peer review panel to ensure that all past,
present, and future management measures offered by fishery “managers”
and permit holders abide by ALL of the Magnuson-Stevens Act mandates.
Allow permit holders to offer alternatives to the past management
measures that violate the MSA in any way or simply abolish them.<br />
4. Give federal fishery permit holders the power to FIRE any fishery
“manager” involved in their fishery with a 2/3 majority vote of no
confidence and offer a replacement to be approved by the peer review
panel and a 2/3 majority vote of the permit holders.<br />
5. Create a federal data collection permit for every recreational and
commercial fishery. Require all fishermen to purchase a twenty dollar
permit for each federal fishery they participate in. Allocate those
funds and 1% of the NMFS BILLION dollar annual budget to set up an
independent data collection center. Require every permit holder to
electronically report the fish they catch for each trip. The data
collected should be used in independent stock assessments to support or
refute the “Best Available Science” used by fishery “managers”. The data
should also be used to PROPERLY manage the quotas with possession
limits adjusted quarterly or after approximately 75% of a seasonal quota
has been caught to levels that will fill the quotas without any long
closures. The permit holders would have final approval of any
adjustments with a 2/3 majority vote.<br />
6. Set up a secure way for federal permit holders to cast these 2/3
majority votes electronically. This secure site could also be used to
debate how we want to manage our fisheries. Any permit holder could
offer their own management measures. We could have an open and honest
debate and come to a compromise that follows ALL MSA mandates and can
pass a 2/3 majority vote of the permit holders in the effected fishery.<br />
7. Begin a full Congressional investigation into all levels of federal
fishery bureaucracy. Their own stock assessments show they have grossly
mismanaged almost every fishery they have controlled for decades. The
evidence of corruption and abuse of power is mounting against the
multiple layers of fishery bureaucracy every day. Congress set up the
fishery bureaucracies to manage our fisheries for the benefit of all
Americans and to insure that those public resources are healthy and
sustainable for future generations. They have failed miserably. They
have destroyed countless jobs. They have caused the deaths of many
innocent fishermen. They have forced fishermen to discard millions of
dead and dying fish to go to waste in the name of conservation. They
have violated our Constitutional Rights as they force us to commit these
atrocities. They have used UN mandates to strike down the freedom our
Creator endowed us with and many brave American soldiers have defended
with their lives. We could achieve the goals we should all have of
healthy fisheries that can be responsibly harvested forever with very
little waste without all of the Regulatory Discards, financial ruin,
bloodshed, and loss of Liberty. We simply need to work together using
SOUND SCIENCE, the slightest bit of COMMON SENSE, and remember the
GOLDEN RULE. <br />
The actions listed above would give fishermen a little more say in how
we do our jobs and how our fisheries are managed while following ALL of
the requirements Congress included in the reauthorized MSA. Roy Crabtree
had publicly stated that the management measures they pass do not have
to follow all of the mandates in the MSA. Will Congress allow these
unelected bureaucrats to get away with blatantly refusing to follow the
MSA mandates to limit waste, make efficient use of our resources, and
promote fisherman’s safety at sea? <br />
Please consider what Edmond Burke said. “Enforcing stupid laws is the
essence or tyranny.” I argue that forcing fishermen to torture fish to
death and waste them in the name of conservation is a perfect example of
a STUPID law that promotes tyranny rather than liberty. Is the loss of
liberty any less tragic if it is taken with “good” intentions by fellow
Americans, rather than by foreign enemies? Will Congress allow unelected
bureaucrats to continue enforcing STUPID laws on American citizens
through the barrel of a gun and violations of our Constitutional Rights?
<br />
I have laid out plans in previous public statements about how we could
limit waste and enhance our resources with things like Artificial Reefs
that are the perfect union of aquaculture and commercially or
recreation-ally harvested wild seafood. An aggressive Artificial Reef
program would benefit the resource and fishermen while providing
millions of people with access to delicious and nutritious wild caught
seafood. I have also mentioned how the Saltonstall-Kennedy tax on
imported seafood should be used to enhance our fisheries and promote the
domestic supply of seafood. How are the funds being used now?<br />
I would be happy to provide anyone reading this with copies of my
previous public comments. I would also be extremely happy to testify
before Congress during the investigation that I pray will begin before
it is too late for the few remaining commercial fishermen who have
suffered mightily as our fisheries have been grossly mismanaged. <br />

support needed of the American voter, interested only in self interests!
We have homeless but we dare not talk about it, we have unemployment,
we have fisherman being regulated out of business and our oceans sold to
the UN but to who cares? In my bid of testing the waters to the US
Senate, I am demanding policies that will enable all, to hold government
accountable in an advocacy for 21st century, requiring that government
make data available in real time, rather than in bits to pieces, if at
all! Enforcing stupid laws is the essence of tyranny and many of the
laws passed in Congress have policy riders attached, making the law
either stupid to pass or not passable at all; much akin to the payroll
extension tax in hot debate today.<br />
<br />
EVERY
member of Congress and EVERY neglected bureaucrat SWEARS an oath to
uphold and defend the US Constitution against enemies foreign and
domestic. Will Congress hold the domestic enemies of our Constitution
accountable for their actions? Will our Senators and Representatives
HONOR their oath? <br />
Many of the laws written by neglected
bureaucrats are enforced through the barrel of a gun and threats of
heavy fines, seizure of property, or even imprisonment, are upon the
American Fisheries of today, threatening the small operators, people who
just want to scratch by, as enforcement officers VIOLATE our Fourth
Amendment Constitutional Rights as they ILLEGALLY search and seize our
private property, just because the anglers may live aboard their boats.<br />
<br />
I
am fighting for these Americans Rights, as well the rights of
Floridians! Congress set up the fishery bureaucracies to manage our
fisheries for the benefit of all Americans and to insure that those
public resources are healthy and sustainable for future generations.
They have failed miserably. They have destroyed countless jobs. They
have caused the deaths of many innocent fishermen. They have forced
fishermen to discard millions of dead and dying fish to go to waste in
the name of conservation. They have violated our Constitutional Rights
as they force us to commit these atrocities.<br />
<br />
Had
transparency been involved in these bills to regulations, many set up
out of governmental authority, it might not have been. Regulations are
choking this country; killing it dead. The Panama Canal was re-dredged
to accommodate the new cargo ships of the 21st century at a cost of
seven years. It will be open for business in two. Our Countries ports
cannot accommodate these cargo ships without a refit to the ports. The
first the American people have heard of this was a Fox news alert as of
recent. In the year 2024, the Corp. of Engineers & the EPA will have
finished a study on dredging the ports and that is just in south
Carolina! Because of lack of transparency and over burdening rules to
regulations, our country may be bypassed in billions of dollars in
cargo. That is transparent and why?<br />
<br />
It is time that
“We the People” took back our government from those to whom have grown
wealthy from their pickings. If I had my way, Congress would advocate
term limits, the line item veto, session limits, spending limits,
removing Congressional exceptions to laws passed, subject Congress to
Freedom of Information Act, "end the Constituent Service Racket,"
establish fair and open procedures, and cut committees and this would
save more than we know, too include the nationally spending frenzy.
Subjecting Congress to its own laws would resolve the entire issue of
Congressional insider trading, too! All funding for Catch Shares to
Rural watering policies would go under review and be thrown out as they
pertain to part of the Land of the Sea Treaty, which is unconstitutional
as it was signed into law without Senatorial approval; thus it cannot
be. So why is it still obeyed?<br />

<br />
Throwing the sand out of the box is what we did? This BIRTHER issue, is what it should be about!<span style="font-family: "cambria";"></span><br />
<h2>
The reasons for the PDF file?</h2>
<ol>
<li><i><b>Somebody wanted to get the news out that Obama was, in fact,
born in Kenya</b></i>. But now that the AP story is out, and that brochure
from the publisher is public, the story isn't about the birth certificate
anymore. It is about Barack. Why in hell didn't he personally challenge the
biography? Or the AP story about his being elected to the senate? You would
think that if you actually ran for the senate and won the contest after your
campaign's private investigator found out your opponent frequented a popular
Chicago brothel, you would save - or at very least read - all and every article
you could find with your name in it, espousing your glorious victory. I sure
would, wouldn't you? Why in heaven's name didn't Barack challenge those
stories?</li>
<li><b><i>Somebody wanted to attract anybody who might possibly notice any
of the dozen problems the long form PDF files contained</i></b> (since
then the PDF on the White House site has itself been Flattened, or had the
Layers removed). <i>And man, have they done that</i>. </li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: "cambria";">Guys like me immediately were branded and vilified. I saw that coming the
first day I said anything. I had started to answer questions on Beck's Blaze
about the file, and it took all of three hours before that came to an end. Glenn
is a real hero to me, and has taken his considerable communication skills and
dedicated them to saving this nation. For that we will all be indented to him.
But again, I wasn't doing anything but asking why that file had layers. Why that
file had patterns that should not have been where they were? Why did that file
show different characters, so bit mapped and some (now) actual editable type?
Why was OCR software used? Why can't we get another scan? A normally-generated
scan, done specifically to avoid these jettisons? Why not? What would be wrong
with looking at another scan, and scans of surrounding documents?
Anything?<br /><br />Now that the issue of his Kenyan origin have again arisen, it
is time to ask the truth. Time to pull the switch and turn on the lights. It is
not about one thing anymore. It is about the truth.<br /><br />Just who are you,
Barack Hussein Obama? And Who's Yo Daddy? We do not want his dreams, Barack. The
people in closed rooms at the United Nations want the dreams of your daddy,
Barack. But not us. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
What is so hard or why would one not wish to produce your College
Records or your Birth Certificate when running for a public office,
unless you had something to hide? I had to furnish these documents, that
were scrutinize by the press and my opponent when I last ran for public
office.Nobody really cares if your degree is in Basket Weaving, just
that if you say you have one in whatever, you can back it up. This is
expected when in or running for a public office...your life is public.
Do not like that? Then Quit or do not run in the first place. As far as a
Birth Certificate is concerned, it is the LAW, and more than just an
asking as to be the President of these United States of America, you
must be born American on American soil. If this is so hard to do, not to
worry because if you are playing Commander in Chief, it is to no avail,
your replacement, upon producing his birth certificate will step into
your shoes until 2012; Hello Mr. President Biden. According to <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/vice-president-biden">The White House website</a>,
Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., was born November 20, 1942, in Scranton,
Pennsylvania, the first of four siblings. In 1953, the Biden family
moved from Pennsylvania to Claymont, Delaware. He graduated from the
University of Delaware and Syracuse Law School and served on the New
Castle County Council. Then, at age 29, he became one of the youngest
people ever elected to the United States Senate. That was simple and
I'll bet it can be backed up before the wink of an eye. On the same site
it states," His story is the American story — values from the
heartland, a middle-class upbringing in a strong family, hard work and
education as the means of getting ahead, and the conviction that a life
so blessed should be lived in service to others.<br />
<br />
With a
father from Kenya and a mother from Kansas, President Obama was born in
Hawaii on August 4, 1961. He was raised with help from his grandfather,
who served in Patton's army, and his grandmother, who worked her way up
from the secretarial pool to middle management at a bank." Bet one
might wink here? Why not just clear it all up before you make a
spectacle of yourself, Mr. President and then we can all get back to
wondering why we are in bed with Brazil & Bombing Libya?<br />

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b> "@"</b></i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>At Snook
Haven little has but changed but the faces and style that all that
remain of a day from the past. If you sit back, you can still hear
Johnny Weissmuller ordering a cold can of brew from over the bar
back. Old style pictures still hang at crooked angles and if you
listen carefully, ignoring the hustle and bustle of the modern world
down the road! Let your ears hear a raptor’s cry as, Marlene orders
the same, waiting from a break in the rain, before filming again
begins with Revenge of the Killer Turtles (1947). As an old Florida,
bayou-style restaurant and pleasantly primitive entertainment venue,
Snook Haven Restaurant & Fish Camp has been a fixture in Venice
for more than 50 years. Even before that, fishermen traversing the
fish-filled waters of the Myakka River in the early 1900s camped in
the area.</b></i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Used as
everything from fish camp to fish house, this journey back into time
is well worth the time to visit. Back when I first moved to Venice,
Florida, Snook Haven is where all who try and set up a head quarters
and rendezvous for ReelnFish Charters. Running clients up the river
for a chance to mingle with our Florida wildlife and catch Bass to
freshwater Channel Catfish. Big cats in the twenty pound plus range
on light tackle to cane poles. Camping on the banks or overnight
pack-ins. Moving down stream we would catch everything from Snook to
Reds and if the tides are right, you can catch Bull sharks on one
side of the river and Bass on the other, along with an occasional
Blue crab too. Now retired to angling and writing about it I enjoy my
visits back where “Tarzan” slept lazily along an out stretched
branch of a giant oak draped with Spanish moss beyond the
restaurant's waterfront, back deck. There one can find a canoe tucked
between a fleet canoes to kayaks loosely tied to the aging dock. Here
you can elect to explore the slow-moving waters by powerboat or as
Snook Haven's slogan states - "You and a Canoe" –
paradise to me! In the canoe, the river is yours, at eye level with
the crocks, the beauty is bountiful. </b></i></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Snook Haven
is on the sun-dappled shores of the winding </b></i><span style="font-style: normal;">Myakka
River</span><i> <b>in </b></i><span style="font-style: normal;">Venice</span><i><b>.
Think giant oaks draped with Spanish moss, graceful cabbage palms,
and tea-colored waters flowing by. Two movies have been filmed there,
the most famous a Tarzan flick called Revenge of the Killer Turtles.
On Thursdays, the public is invited to hear the Gulf Coast Banjo
Society practice from 11 a.m.-2 p.m., and every Sunday the place
overflows with weekend bikers and other regulars who gather round the
shaded outdoor picnic tables to listen to live music.</b></i></span></span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>For
overnight stays, you can bring your own RV or rent one of the fully
furnished cabins. Call first, though, as many are undergoing
renovation. Snook Haven also offers guided pontoon boat charters up
and down the Myakka River. Bring a camera; one November afternoon,
one of the largest alligators the boat captain said he’s ever seen
charged the charter and dove straight under. Even grown men shrieked.
But the boat also meanders down some spectacularly scenic stretches
of pristine county-owned lands that will never be developed. </b></i></span></span></span>

smokehouse menu with a variety of smoked meats and southern-style
sides such as collard greens and baked macaroni and cheese. The
banjos will be back. Count on bluegrass jams every week under the
oaks and cabbage palms. The canoe and pontoon boat rentals are coming
back too, along with a new menu and some craft beers to sip on the
deck overlooking a scenic river bend. A new kitchen to go along with
a new smokehouse menu. Some of the first through the door like Venice
resident Terry Tingley are taking notice. "The place looks 150%
better on the inside then it ever has. The outside is still wild and
wonderful. </b></i><em><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><i><b>The Duyn's
said the alligator is will soon be on display at the Snook Haven
Restaurant in Venice. Hank Duyn and Shawn Koss were in a 14-foot John

You know the place, I am sure. He said during his speech that there are things that only government can do. Only a well-meaning government could extend certain powers, according to the billionaire.</p>
<p>Today the banks in Cypress closed down. Until the end of the week, the frightened population is trying to get their money. But whether it is three hundred dollars or three million dollars, whether they frightened population is rich or poor or something in between, the elitist progressive government has closed the banks. Not their bank accounts, I am sure, but everybody else's. If banks close in Spain, they could be closing in London in a week and here in ten days. Just saying :)</p>
<p>A man named Perez, who might as well be Chavez, is in charge - or soon to be - of labor relationships. Imagine W. not indicting the clan for wearing robes and brandishing clubs at a voting booth. And following that failure to prosecute, appointed the grand dragon to lead labor relations? White? Be afraid. Heterosexual? Get ready to pay for dick-removals and studies of why ugly fat lesbians are fat and ugly. Maybe I could save you a ton of money and explain why they are lesbians instead. They are lesbians because they are fat and ugly, and do not care about how they look. Gay guys get their freaken fingernails done, and wear nice clothes. They are called gay for a reason. They are gay. Lesbians are called Dikes. Hmmmm. But worry not, dikes of the world. Worry not, lesbian transsexuals of the world. Worry not Islamists who should be burned, not water boarded.</p>
<p>You are safe, Bloomberg is here. The same people with the same mind set as is running Cyprus is now running the United States of America. America - the ideal - will survive for a while. The nation itself is already dead. Perez and Bloomberg are just the people running the nazi ovens. And every one of us who is seen as somehow not good for the collective is heading towards the train tracks. And the guy named Barry thinks he is doing good for the world.</p>
<p>What an asshole. What an elitist, no-wits asshole. The true horror of the nazi regime grew from its colleges and universities. It was the smart ones that designed those ovens. It was the smart democrat Roosevelt who built those camps in Utah for the Japanese.</p>
<p>Who is next? Ask Bloomberg. He knows. And do some research on him. And on his connection with the new world order. With the tides foundation. With a guy named George soros.</p>
<p>It seems that those free Obama phones are gonna be being delivered by the truckload. So, to, is the ammunition the federal government is buying. Why the free phones, and why the expensive buckets. The White House cannot be seen but Barry golfs with tiger woods and a few oil executives. We do not know who survived the attack in Benghazi, but we know what seal team killed Osama. </p>
<p>There is dirt on the carpet of the White House. Our White House. Clean it up. You have to start at your city council - not nationally. You have to listen to what your children are being taught.</p><div style="text-align: right; font-size: small; clear: both;" id="blogsy_footer"><a href="http://blogsyapp.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://blogsyapp.com/images/blogsy_footer_icon.png" alt="Posted with Blogsy" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 5px;" width="20" height="20" />Posted with Blogsy</a></div>TheOnlineFishermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09396387898945520454noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942591194143697515.post-61982547616767605362013-03-15T08:11:00.001-04:002013-03-15T08:11:33.794-04:00New to the senate, so shut up?<p>I watched a young man name Cruz question Dianne Feinstein the other day. He asked her if her approach to modifying the Second Amendment could be applied to the First or the Fourth. If speech or the rights of privacy could be granted to some but not to others.</p>
<p>The Senior senator who wants to take my guns to control "criminals" looked down at the new senator, and reminded him that she has been there for 20 years. Background noise had another senator on a hot mike saying that he was sick of Cruz.</p>
<p>Perhaps we need to remind Senator Leahy, who it is likely the mouth on the hot microphone, that, while “new” to the Senate, Senator Cruz was : </p>
<ul>
<li>Solicitor General of Texas 2003-2008; </li>
<li>While a law partner, he was a U.S. Supreme and Nat’l. Appellate Court litigator; </li>
<li>Director of the office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission; </li>
<li>Assoc. Deputy Attorney General at the U.S. D.O.J.; </li>
<li>Adjunct Prof. of Law at University of TX School of Law Austin 2004-2009 where he taught US Supreme Court litigation; </li>
<li>Law clerk to Wm. Rehnquist, Chief Justice of the United States.</li>
</ul>
<p>Maybe Leahy and others should pay attention. To Cruz. To code pink supporting the senator name Rand Paul as he, too, defended that old piece of paper. Our president says he is a constitutional professor. Whose course would you rather take about the nation and freedom and how it started here? Cruz' or Barry'?</p>
<p>No need to answer. Thanks to the lady who provided this in a link on the Blaze. </p><div style="text-align: right; font-size: small; clear: both;" id="blogsy_footer"><a href="http://blogsyapp.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://blogsyapp.com/images/blogsy_footer_icon.png" alt="Posted with Blogsy" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 5px;" width="20" height="20" />Posted with Blogsy</a></div>TheOnlineFishermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09396387898945520454noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942591194143697515.post-81468836045767275102013-03-14T17:01:00.001-04:002013-03-14T17:01:21.470-04:00Gun Control<p> You ever see those images of the Clan that show the poor black families huddling and cowering, hoping against hope that the sheet-covered men would not find them? It is a good image; it supports the clan brand. That age old brand that says "yo boy! Yo black boy!! C'mon here boy. I need to out that shackle on your black ass." Keep them darkies scared, and keep them unarmed, and the clan is ok.</p>
<p>Soon after slaves became free men, there was an amazing change taking place. True, many of the families that had grown up on those southern plantations saw staying there - now on a pittance of a salary but nothing more - as a safe alternative to the cold white world. When the union army marched east to burn Brooksville from where they had landed near Anclotte Key, they brought freed slaves and let them strip the houses (and many of the women) before burning them to the ground. The democrats that were the south were not happy with what the republicans had done. The republicans saw freedom as something built into the Constitution. Not the dems. Dems thought then, as they think now, that that troublesome constitution needed rewriting. It had no place in the modern world. For God's sake that maniac Lincoln had used it and the Republican Party he represented to free the niggers. Thank The Lord Jesus he got dead, but the damage was done.</p>
<p>The world has not changed all that much. Democrats feel now as they did then that they are smarter than republicans. They still have the slaves. Granted, the slaves do not know they're slaved, but they identify those democrats as being their protection. Protection of their watermelons, and protection from the whips of them republicans, who want to reinstitute the practice. And they will protect the brothers from hunger, from not having cell phones.</p>
<p>It is called social justice. Black leaders of the left, wearing much more technically advanced gold watches then their previous plantation bosses wore, still wash the toilets for the white man, but they have their brothers to wash theirs. They talk about my racism, and they talk about my unfairness, and they talk about my fair share,</p>
<p>Here is a fair share. I was born into terrible poverty. To a prostitute. I am not rich, but I am not poor. I worked all my life for what I have and never had a job I did not create for myself and with the help of God. I do not owe the government, or their dirtbags shit. I do not want to pay for climate change musicals, or fat bastards sitting in hot tubs drinking my wine.</p>
<p>And I do not owe social justice. Get a job, take off that slave-marker called an EBT, and run your own side of the street. If it is clean and a storm strikes, I will be the first one there with food and a mop to help you clean up. In the meantime and until then, shut your mouth.</p>
<p>The clan did not want black men to have guns. Black men with guns would shoot their coward sheet covered asses. So they made the first gun control laws. To keep the guns from those negroes. To keep their population down they hung the ones they could, and started a program called "The Negro Program" to talk you into killing your own babes.</p>
<p>They changed the name of slavery to welfare, and the name of the negro program to Planned Parenthood.</p>
<p>How stupid is our nation today?</p>
<p> </p><div style="text-align: right; font-size: small; clear: both;" id="blogsy_footer"><a href="http://blogsyapp.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://blogsyapp.com/images/blogsy_footer_icon.png" alt="Posted with Blogsy" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 5px;" width="20" height="20" />Posted with Blogsy</a></div>TheOnlineFishermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09396387898945520454noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942591194143697515.post-81011753149269173902013-03-12T07:54:00.001-04:002013-03-12T07:54:13.839-04:00Climbing Walls at the Gym...<p>I don't know about you, but there is hardly a day that goes by that I do not watch television and shake my head. There are about three thousand channels it seems, although I have yet to spend the time to find Al Jazeera. I am a very compassionate guy. I would even save Al Gore if he was burning, and I would not do it with dog urine, although if given a five gallon bucket of spring water and one yellow and smelly while his very groomed body smoldered from lying bare naked on red not coals it would be very hard to pick the Avian.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Once again, I woke up today in a world that makes no sense. Did you know that if you get an EBT card that it entitles you to a gym membership? Did you ever pay for one? How many times have fat Americans (and or wonderful Americans that thought they looked fat) joined expensive gyms between the hours of noon on the second of January and 3pm on the third? Only to justify why their busy schedules and visits to the Hershey factory kept them from ever going more than once? What did that cost you, huh?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Don't worry, somebody is using that membership. Somebody needy. I would be so bold as to wager they are trash. Personally I figure that anybody that would actually use a welfare handout to go to the gym, or watch a woman take her clothes off for money with that same card, or draw cash for dope using my money is trash. I do not care what color they are, and my feeling that way does not - I repeat does <em>not</em> - make me a dirtbag, a racist, or anything must a man tired of paying for other people's fun. If they are hungry they can buy meat, bread, and vegetables with those cards. But the freaken line stops at the door of the strip joint and the climbing wall at the beautiful YMCA I pay to visit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The president decided - and you can bet your ass he knew - to close visits to the White House because of sequestration. Do yourself a favor. Wake up. I am already. So, too are a lot of my friends. But there are plenty of what appears to be smart people that see no problem with that climbing wall. I do.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Define who is between you and that climbing wall. Because the day approaches when the freeman is going to walk up to that wall and start pulling people off of it if they did not pay to be there. In one way or another the day approaches when what is defined as "Fair" is going to done by the people of this country, and not to men and women that have no interest in fairness. Fairness in this man's world comes in the form of a gym membership. If you want a climbing wall, move to the mountains. I will give you a rope. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>You will be far better off with a rope I give you to climb a free wall than you are with the rope around your neck in the form of an EBT card. You want slavery? Get an EBT card and ready yourself for a yoke.</p>

I have been a republican, went independent, and in order to vote in the recent presidential primaries switched back again. It was something that made me sick to my stomach. Watching McCain say that Rand Paul was somehow going to scare the people concerning the rules of the senate told me that it is time to start praying that the RINO Rand Paul that stood on the floor of the senate the other day is going to grow in reach</p>
<p>He argued for you and he argued for me. If the question he asked as so silly, and could be answered with a simple "no" from the Attorney General himself, a certain Holder, then why did it take so long for him to mutter the word.</p>
<p>We are being ruled by a collection of mandarins, but for their well chipped nails, could just as well be moving the ivory beads on their gold wired abacus. It is our lives, and more importantly our freedoms that they click.</p>
<p>I hear that the Gucci shoe wearing man who changed his country - transformed it really - will be kept as a wax figurine. That is good. The people of a nation where 72% of the industry was oil, and today is 98%; the nation where the poor are now drinking bad water, and have electricity only when the government can afford to turn it on. Viva communists.</p>
<p>It is being taught in our schools, and SEIU is holding a prayer vigil today to bemoan Chavez' death. Republicans fed well at the restaurants. The ones with special meals for $1,200. It took twenty cars to carry Barry to dinner, and although I hear he paid for dinner, it was me that paid for his drivers.</p>
<p>Wake up.</p>

About America. About the Republic. About truth and about falsehoods. About the effectiveness of hatred and fear, and the next step in the cultural, social, and spiritual involvement of mankind.<br />
<br />
I practice yoga. I make sure to speak to the God I feel is evident in every stone, every child, every leaf on every tree and every star in this vast universe. Yoga is my way of listening to Him, She, or It. In the original Sanskrit the word relates to the yoke around a cow's neck as he is worked in the field. The yoke of his master steering him to plow the fields is compared to the continuous and constant flow of meaningful thoughts tht cross our mind every day. According to scientists some sixty-five thousand of them. Yoga is the science of silencing the mind; slowing down and even stopping the though process, so the seer - the true consciousness inside us all - can finally see.<br />
<br />
Before those decades preceding the 19th century there had never been an attempt nor an opportunity for men to establish a self-governing political entity. They rightfully determined that such a republic could only be established and could only thrive under a clearly defined set of laws. Laws that no one man or even group of men could easily change. They did not anticipate involvement in global wars. They did not anticipate an "Internal Revenue" service. There were a lot of things they did not anticipate those early days, when they pledged their properties, their safety and that of their families. They did anticipate the dangers to the fledgling experiment in personal freedom, and with it personal responsibility.<br />
<br />
This week the power of the collective rang true. In the silence of my mornings, I see a light flicker. A light that came on in those candle-lit rooms in the 1780s. In a brilliant albeit sleazy political strategy, the nation was split into women in fear of access to birth control. A welfare community was told to expect less buying power on the plastic money they receive for free, with no accountability, little care for the children they spawn, and a growing number. Food stamps have no place in a free society. Food and clothing and housings and compassion and comfort and every scientific and personal resource available should of course be available for free to the needy. But to make it something on a plastic card, given to any and all that claim the need is one of the many winds blowing out those candles.<br />
<br />
The election of Obama also established - in no uncertain terms - an administration that feels able to do anything it sees fit. The transformation of America is here, and sites blogs like this on in danger. Each of us needs to reach out for a candle. The candle of freedom burns in our hearts, not on paper. The republic may not stand, but the concertos that built it once can do it again.<br />
<br />
Could somebody do us a favor and copyright the name? And do it in about five or six other countries, too? <br />

communities. Small fishing operations, who once could fish by a common
right, were now out in the cold, stuck at the docks in battling
corporate interests who turned the fisheries into a commodious
international market, not of free enterprise or capitalism but a form of
pure social communism! The purpose of catch shares is to put
independent businessmen out of business and does nothing to save a fish.
So how come our government lies to us? Can you say money.<br /> <br /> The
Feds are in trouble but Agenda 21, communism, is not the answer. Let the
States regulate their own fisheries and let the Federal Government
shrink back to a nominal size, to which it can then control its self!
Catch Shares are nothing but a surf minding his stock of wheat to fish,
until the Lord comes for his piece of the action or as share croppers,
you get to fish but I own the fish. This is wrong as the only one who
owns the fish is God, who gave us the right to catch them, not sacrifice
many a good hard working family to that of a corporation in the name of
greed.<br /> <br /> The first battle with Communism winning was the removal of “GOD” from public places<br />

The Catch Share System is nothing but Surfs serving Lords; a Feudal
Society. If the Federal Government wishes to continue to have a
satisfied Union, it must get out of the States, not be a Stakeholder and
should consider, either cutting NOAA from its purse strings and let it
do what it tries to do best; weather.<br /> If NOAA wants to play science
why not continue to what it stopped researching twenty years ago; what
happens when you alter the weather, its effects, and how to stop it. <br /> Playing with Mother Nature may be a bad idea <br /> The fish are but Gods creatures and we, in respect unto them have the right to catch them.<br /> <br />

The Cold war may have ended, the wall in Berlin, came down but to my
dismay, communism is but slowly creeping into our countries schools,
businesses and marine industries. In communism, the State is the big
cheese, no God. In fact, God disappears. It is the first step and think
about it, we have taken God out of our lives because of why? It offended
someone, a communist or other factor of a non-believer. Well gee-whiz
guys, that is your problem. When you come to my house, I expect respect
and follow my rules and the same if I visit yours. If you do not like
it, leave. We as Americans were brought up this way by the Whig Party;
Herbert Hoover changed it to “The Founding Fathers” during his reign of
power. It sounded better and if Hoover said it, it was gospel, as he too
believed in God! Then after we started removing “God” out of all public
places, we started implementing Catch Shares, Sector Separation and
spatial planning. <br /> <br /> <br /> Can you hear me now? <br /> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gulfcouncil.org%2Ffishery_m...n%2FComments.pdf&h=vAQHzUhZx&s=1" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.gulfcouncil.org/fishery_m...n/Comments.pdf</a><br />
I cant even count how many Gulf fishermen have voiced opposition to the
idea of Sector Separation in the GMFMC comments. Can you? There is now
zero question as to what the fishermen and majority of charter operators
of the Gulf of Mexico want and do not want. They do not want sector
separation. Still, it persists. For the Gulf Council to continue to push
this against will of the overwhelming majority of the industry and the
recreational fishing community...... I dunno. I think perhaps they are
beginning to get it. <br /> This comment page will also show you the names
of your local charter operators are that pressing to take your share of
the fishery for their exclusive personal use, and which are not. <br /> Someone may want to copy this comment page it as I wouldn't be surprised to see it change or disappear.<br /> (Local Opinion): An article from: The Register-Guard (Eugene, OR)<br /> <br />

I sit around a little bit every day. On schedule and in a formal way. Every morning at dawn I make it a point to silence my mind. It is said in the most ancient of all writings that if I am able to quiet my brain - to silence the mind - that the true me will see through the smoke that was covering the fire. The smoke being, of course, the endless thoughts that pop into your mind every day. It is thought that the average person has more than sixty thousand thoughts a day. And that is not counting, I assume, thoughts that come through our mind while we are dreaming, or might come into our consciousness when we are in a deep sleep. Of the three states of consciousness, which if studied from a purely literary standpoint could be said to be the basis of the idea of a trilogy, we know very little of our waking state, much less the dream state. Of the third - the one you achieve while in REM sleep - we know nothing. It is a conscious silence reaching that level of no-thought that the practice of yoga promises.<br/><br/>So what does all of this have to do with today's political state of mind? Everything. It is all about consciousness. It is all about being awake to what is happening. And what is happening is the true colors of a man known publicly as Barack Hussein Obama. Because it seems - and many of us certainly hope - that his days in his role as leader of the free world are numbered. That November shows that something is happening in this beautiful and still-free country of ours. And that is awareness<br/><br/><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52508778@N04/7657510060" target="_blank" style=""><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8291/7657510060_3dd0a073de.jpg" id="blogsy-1343412165757.5188" class="alignnone" alt="" width="500" height="364"></a></div> The issue on my mind today goes back to last week. He spoke without the TelePrompTer. And like he often does in such cases, he spoke his mind, and exposed his heart.<br/><br/>He said to the "downtrodden" - which in many cases are only downtrodden beyond the $1,200 a month routinely given to minority classes in our country because they are members of the committed devotional following at the voting booth - that this country was founded by the one percent, and that since the first day people like me that have started businesses had done it on the back of the black. That whitie, or men, or republicans, or successful owners of small businesses did it on their back. The back can be black, gay, Latino, gender- or -transgender specific backs, or any special-interest back they can find this week.<br/><br/>Who is the racist here? Me? Us? Really<br/><br/>Wake up, America, and take away his taxpayer-purchased TelePrompTer. And tell them to take their hope and change and stick the coins where the sun cannot possibly ever shine.<br/><br/> <br/><br/><div style="text-align: right; font-size: small; clear: both;" id="blogsy_footer"><a href="http://blogsyapp.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://blogsyapp.com/images/blogsy_footer_icon.png" alt="Posted with Blogsy" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 5px;" width="20" height="20" />Posted with Blogsy</a></div>TheOnlineFishermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09396387898945520454noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942591194143697515.post-33771936305284246362012-07-18T16:04:00.001-04:002012-07-18T16:04:05.729-04:00Untitled <br/><br/><div style="text-align: right; font-size: small;" id="blogsy_footer"><a href="http://blogsyapp.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://blogsyapp.com/images/blogsy_footer_icon.png" alt="Posted with Blogsy" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 5px;" width="20" height="20" />Posted with Blogsy</a></div>TheOnlineFishermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09396387898945520454noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942591194143697515.post-28659658272020866092012-07-09T22:40:00.001-04:002012-07-18T16:08:24.709-04:00Executive strategies and executive orders...When I first met the publisher of this now very-popular blog, a wonderful man named Gary Anderson, we had an almost instantaneous attraction to each other. We had a lot of things in common; both good and bad, light and dark. But both of us having reached an age where the only things in life that matter are the really important ones - the ones you cannot count with spreadsheets. Don't get me wrong. We have families, we have homes, and we have a lifetime of dreams, goals, and hopes that aren't gone yet. We both love business, and we love new businesses. He jumped right in and started working with me on a web site called TheOnlineFisherman.com, and it took off. We talked fishing, we fished, and we wrote about fish. But we also talked a lot - more than fish, in fact - about our nation. We talked about the good and we talked about the bad. We talked about the love we share for her.<br/><br/>Gary is really an expert at finding things. He can find anything from where to catch largemouth bass in gravel pits, to native Floridian artifacts dating back a millenia. And he can find things on the Internet. It was Gary that first introduced me to Agenda 21 - a United Nations agenda, signed by our own global ass-kissing diplomats (can you name three?) that sees air conditioning, plastics, and private property among the dozens of things important to us all as being contrary to a "Sustainable" world. Have you noticed how many times the term now appears in our daily speech? That and the word "Green"? I have another term that sounds supportive of an ideal world, but can quickly be exposed for what it truly is: an anti-free-market global governance ideal that redistributes America's wealth to impoverished (and not so impoverished) socialist/Marxist nations. It is undeniable in its clear intentions, and without dramatically improving our national consciousness of Agenda 21 and how far it has already taken hold in local and regional, it may be part of a future we want no part of.<br/><br/>The world is changing. I still listen often to the sweet voice of a young Joni Mitchell; her incredible magic telling me often wind coming in from Africa, where the lady of the canyon toyed with a lucky man who walked with a cane. That Greece, and the one of an ancient Athens pictured in the mind of a youth still enriched by stories of their Gods. Sex with swans, the three seeds of a forbidden pomegranate, and a knot untied only with the sword of a warrior are still there on my fingertips, like they were when I was twelve and first having them fly and drift and appear magically in the room of my young mind. I remember now a program called Icarus; and it shaping the first fonts of a digital age. But the world, and the feathers, and the myths are changing.<br/><br/>The forces of dark and light, of good and evil, are at play. Whether it is the Internet, or the smell in the air, we see signs turning into bricks, and dreams into anger. The concepts are the same, the collective as angry and ready to fight as ever, be it France and its chopping machines or Germany and its Jews, the song underneath the myths is the same. As is the end game.<br/><br/><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6zSH70c9PrO65kM6G28oGFKd2qkaRqJxz-q6Yl4vrCItD7Th9TFlUqQnJuGYgav2keBlYru9egFHXgNNRDN4sSbhyDEcCEmuKMHuZSCXpQG-SimfH34fWPrqSqJUgYuxaR6JZWkpNtJMZ/s400/Photo%252520Jun%25252015%25252C%2525202012%2525205%25253A40%252520PM.jpg" target="_blank" style=""><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6zSH70c9PrO65kM6G28oGFKd2qkaRqJxz-q6Yl4vrCItD7Th9TFlUqQnJuGYgav2keBlYru9egFHXgNNRDN4sSbhyDEcCEmuKMHuZSCXpQG-SimfH34fWPrqSqJUgYuxaR6JZWkpNtJMZ/s400/Photo%252520Jun%25252015%25252C%2525202012%2525205%25253A40%252520PM.jpg" id="blogsy-1342642087208.2202" class="alignnone" width="400" height="347" alt=""></a></div> <strong><em>Doctor Roy Crabtree. Can we have an extra two days of snapper fishing, doctor? We bow to you, oh master.</em></strong><br/><br/>I watch and am close to a tiny part of the world, but one that connects many people. The tiny part is fishing. I have a friend that speaks Mandarin, and often shares newspaper stories from the mainland with me. One I remember to this day talked about fishing management by the west. How the Chinese people - meaning in this case as in all the communist government - felt was that fishing wasn't something that could be managed. That it was a basic human right. Although feeding the collective was, of course, the role of the benevolent government, the actual personal right to fish - whether to help provide that collective only within the scope of his own family or for the village is something that seems natural. Our over regulation of the fisheries silly in their communist minds.<br/><br/>The people regulating our fisheries do not like us. It is their intent to eventually teach all children that fish feel pain too, and that only barbarians would pull those poor little helpless creatures out of their pristine environments only to release them after the torture. But what is happening is far more than fishing management I see. It is human management. And it smells bad.<br/><br/>The world is changing. There is a smell in the air, Frodo.

I was reading a story about some rare African animal that just about went extinct in Africa. Some kind of curved horned creature. Fortunately, just before they disappeared from the savannah, a few of them got saved. A few of them went into the hands of a rapid environmentalist organization, and the others to the hands of a couple of Texans. The greenies intended to protect them from man, while the cowboys with guns wanted to breed them. Why? So they could find other idiots in blue jeans with expensive guns that somehow and for some unknown reason wanted to put a bullet through the gorgeous natural animals. They intended to kill them. Can you believe that? The poor Scimatar-horned Oryx being shot just for recreation? What kind of barbarian would want to kill something so beautiful - and something actually endangered - for the fun of it? What is next? Skeet shooting bald eagles?<br/><br/><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52508778@N04/6138616910" target="_blank" style=""><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6153/6138616910_f72c2d9870.jpg" id="blogsy-1340116571730.5762" class="alignnone" alt="" width="500" height="375"></a></div> <em>Bald eagle hunting, anyone? I hear they are a little tough. Definitely tougher - and harder to shoot - than the Scimatar-horned onyx. The animal seems much safer and is thriving in greater numbers (by a factor of 200) on private hunting grounds, where texans raise them for the hunt. Not good, say environmentalists. They want it stopped and they want it stopped now. Those animals are endangered, you see. So is our freedom. At the hands of people that feel everything about us - from hunting to fishing to running our own businesses and maybe getting rich doing it - is not good for the God they called "Mother Earth". These people are the enemies of freedom, and fail to see that We are hunters. Progressives hunt for victims they can protect or save from danger or oppression. We hunt fish and Scimatar-horned onyx.</em><br/><br/>Here we are some years later. The environmentalists - who now have 150 of those creatures on their preserve in Africa - are fighing the Texans in court. Why? To stop them from killing the 10% of their stock each year. Killing those poor things are rich white guys with jeans and expensive, highly-accurate guns. The ten percent of their herds - which were raised on private ground with private funds for harvesting in the content of private hunts on those private lands - is more then one thousand six hundred animals. How the hell did one men get away with killing so many of those poor endangered animals?<br/><br/>The herd on the Texas ground numbers - according to a leading conservationist - somewhere between 6,000 and 10,000 animals. Penalty to kill, eat, and enjoy. The herd is completely sustainable with a 10% harvest.<br/><br/>Priscilla Feral is the president of Friends of Animals. It is Priscilla that leads the law suit to stop the hunts. It seems that capitalism, rich white guys with guns, and killing animals for the sport is something so disgusting, and so in need of her personal help, that stopping it is on her Agenda. <br/><br/>If you had the time to read this story today, think about this, and give some thought to writing a letter to Priscilla. You can tell her that you heard this story from a guy who owns expensive guns and cannot wait to shoot one of the scimitars. I will put the head on the wall of the office I am writing this story from. And think about her.<br/><br/><h2>There is money in killing animals and fish...</h2>Sorry to say this, folks,but there is money in killing stuff. There is money in killing those Scimatars and there is money in killing tuna, and in killing marlin once In a while. I am in fishing management, and not the protection of animals. If I was, I would argue that the animals being hunted by rich white guys in Texas on private land are one hell-of-a-lot safer than they are in the paltry herd being maintained by the greenies. Greenies cannot manage fish and they cannot manage animals. We cannot get on the red snapper grounds most days. Cutting the entire season to forty days for recreational fisherman shuts down millions in sales of goods related to fishing, and let us fish about twenty days all year for a delicious and abundant species. What the hell is up with that? Those snapper would be fine - and we still would never reach 10% of the stock in "takes" - if that season were open 9 months a year, and not one?.<br/><br/><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52508778@N04/6138070923" target="_blank" style=""><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6078/6138070923_2c7310e579.jpg" id="blogsy-1340116571641.542" class="alignnone" alt="" width="500" height="375"></a></div> <em>Marine Spacial zones are covering the earth in ever-increasing areas. Fishing for sport - catch and release fishing - is now illegal in Germany and Sweden. Who is next? Hunting and fishing are in mankinds blood, and they mix well with capitalism. Man mixes well with capitalism. It was money that has 6,000 - 10,000 love and healthy Scimatar-horned onyx on private ground in Texas and a remarkable 150 on the ground of the greenies protecting them in Africa. Who do you trust with fishery management? People like Priscilla or people like Travis Palladeno, commercial anglers, professional guide, and strong battler against the environmental left. He is also the mayor of one of our country's finest coastal communities. Devastated by the ever-increasing regulations being shoved down our throats by people that do not fish, and do not like fishing or capitalism, for that matter.</em><br/><br/>There is a simple reason for this problem. In managing the animals, they have to manage something connected in magical and invisible ways to the animals they are attempting to manage. The human factor. And the human factor that is connected to those animals are the men and women who hunt them, or the men and women who find fishing magical and mystical, and important to the way they see life.<br/><br/>Being on the water, or being in the field about to take down one of those Scimatar-horned onyxes - gives us a connection that beauracrats, scientists, and certainly activist environmentalists cannot understand. Leave the onyx alone, Priscilla. Leave them and the hunters taking them down alone, Priscilla. Find something else to protect. Maybe you should do sex studies on the Scimatars, and by next year you might have 175 of them in Africa.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>TheOnlineFishermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09396387898945520454noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942591194143697515.post-50259182064019427412012-06-16T14:23:00.001-04:002012-06-16T14:23:45.122-04:00Managing Americans<pre><h2>Managing those testy American anglers...</h2></pre>I think I made somebody mad the other day. The somebody I made mad was a guy named Roy Crabtree. Roy has a very important title inside of NOAA, but quite frankly I am so sick of beauracrats like Crabtree that theirs personal opinion of the importance is somehow connected to titles they make up themselves, so I won't waste a single pixel telling you who he is, what his title is, or why he thinks he is so important that he makes random decisions, driven by his desire to <em>keep</em> that title on his taxpayer-funded business cards. Crabtree is a friend of the fish and a friend of the global movement to govern us. His role is governing what we do to fish, but you get the idea. Roy is a government controller, and as such has a police force he can use to arrest you and put you in jail, or to take property that you've worked to own. Private property and private rights - those troublesome things written into an archaic document more than 200 years ago - are not something that Roy has on s agenda. Roy's agenda is called Agenda 21, and according that agenda, private property and the wealth-gathering that goes along with it are contrary to social justice. Social justice for who, one might ask. Social justice for fish? Social justice for the men and women that scout, hunt, harvest, and eat them? Social or economic justice for the thousands of related businesses touched by or touching the fishing industries? Or social and environmental justice for the likes of Roy Crabtree? I contend it is all about power. It is not all about fish, it is not about fisherman certainly, and it not about the environment. It is about personal and collective organizational power. Power to buy votes, and in turn the power to control elections.<br/><br/> Where do I start? I am a professional writer, and have been telling stories - and getting paid for them - for more than two decades. Three almost. I don't often find myself speechless; I can start with a blank piece of paper, decide what I want to tell the reader, tell it to them, and then tell them - in a paragraph or two (or a chapter) - exactly what it was I had just told them. That step-by-step approach is the textbook method of writing a book. You them what you are going to tell them, tell them what you want to tell them, and then tell them what you just told them. A prescription, if you will, for every technical writing project mankind has ever needed and ever will need. Try it. It will work for anything from an article about a great fishing knot or a book about shaving four points from your golf handicap. We have used the method to produce 500-page textbooks about how to use programs like Adobe Photoshop.<br/><br/><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6CZc4YELGrkHIx_vhMfZWcnBnNNDiUrm2GRKylb1kaup7_n4yDAWtb3n_QsGBpbuuOrLx1VGvxxvM9Tt0Iq9HVwblBmPucWzfbkSV4ZQBDAAFJ6wL0YvLAtOfjsryBMIp9TpPpLy-eeLp/s400/Photo%252520Jun%25252015%25252C%2525202012%2525205%25253A40%252520PM.jpg" target="_blank" style=""><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6CZc4YELGrkHIx_vhMfZWcnBnNNDiUrm2GRKylb1kaup7_n4yDAWtb3n_QsGBpbuuOrLx1VGvxxvM9Tt0Iq9HVwblBmPucWzfbkSV4ZQBDAAFJ6wL0YvLAtOfjsryBMIp9TpPpLy-eeLp/s500/Photo%252520Jun%25252015%25252C%2525202012%2525205%25253A40%252520PM.jpg" id="blogsy-1339870971371.4202" class="alignnone" alt="" width="400" height="347"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;"><em>Doctor Roy Crabtree, the power behind the massive onslaught of regulations and behind-the-scenes forces controlling our lives, it is people like Crabtree we need to rid our government of. When asked if he had done mortality studies on the town of Madeira beach with the same fervor that now says we must protect tile fish, he rolled his eyes at me and said the "speech was over". I asked him the same question three more times. Have you done the report that the law requires you do, Crabtree? Who the hell do you think is paying your salary, you arrogant intellectual piece of nothing? You have to answer the question, Roy. Your butt is going to be seated before congress, and the PEW girls will not be able to protect you there. The days of Crabtree management will soon be over, doctor. </em><em>The truth will set you free, and the truth about fishery management is the last thing you talk about at your taxpayer funded meetings. But it is coming. You remember that fat ass in the hot tub in the GFA meeting and taxpayer party in Las Vegas? You think we are gonna find any mis-steps at NOAA? You think any shady things have happened there? Just wait till September and the Magnuson hearings. Just you wait.</em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;"> </div> <br/><br/>In 1976, a law was put before the House of Representatives called the Magnuson/Stevens Fishery management act. It quickly made it through the senate and was signed by the pen of President Richard Nixon. It was rewritten twice, with the last rewrite - the most devastating of all for the human element of the fishing formula - under the younger Busch. The fact that his UN friendly signature was on the document shoukdn't make anybody particularly comfortable. The last rewrite was the one that really hurt the fisher, though. <br/><br/>You see, as the law evolved, so too did the environmental movement. Anybody with a bit of sense can see that the government - whether it is the Greek government or the city council in most (but not all) city councils in your home town - are completely out of control. I live in a city that is committed to knocking down a perfectly good pier to replace it with "the Lens" - a $20 million dolle bubble over a vast piece of our fishy bay. You will not be able to fish there, of course. It will be a "protected zone". Three years ago, when I was called a conspiratorial nutcase for pointing out the basic premise of UN Agenda 21 as it relates to private property, and that marine Spacial zones were a way for a global government to take what is now public lands and ban our access to them in the name of animals we now hunt and harvest, I forecast projects like the Lens. And some of the world's leading fishery management scientists - the likes of doctor Ray Hilborn - presents solid evidence that they do nothing, and that the emergency, crisis approach to "overfishing" is driven more by blind fith than by science.<br/><br/>The Magnusson was meant to do wonderful things. It was meant to protect American waters from deep water bottom-trawlers arriving by the fleet from China, Russia, and every other nation on the earth capable of producing the increasingly popular "factory ships". Equipped with everything from the rakes that simply dragged the bottom, catching and killing everything unlucky enough to be living where it was used, to helicopter-landing pads, where supplies were brought in and injured workers transported to land-based hospitals. From the trawls to the decks to the processing machinery and into cans, the fish caught on the vessels was outside the control of American anglers, regulators, or law. Environmentalism was in relative infancy, and the law was seen by the already-active anti-fishing community as a poor move towards their true agenda, the elimination of commercial and recreational angling. <br/><br/>The MSA went on from there, though. Fishing was a uniquely American thing in many ways. And fish were identified as a national resource, best protected by a well-educated, centralized and organized government. The federal government, of course. Designed to protect fish, fisherman, and the resource they loved or lived with, the MSA, like a thousand other well-meaning laws, had teeth hidden deep inside it's mouth. Teeth we didn't realize were about to start biting the very people and industries it was meant to protect. Anglers.<br/><br/><h2><strong><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5">Rewrites and definitions: the Magnusson/Stevens</font></strong></h2>The law started having problems right away. In case you do not know this yet, there is money in politics. Big, sickening, and corrupt money. Money and power that is passed hands, bank accounts, titles to beautiful homes, cars, airplane tickets, and summer houses in the Hamptons. Follow the money, and you follow the law. There were companies like Tyson foods and companies like Walmart that have coin on that table. The law was modified in 1996 and again in 2006. Do you fish? Do you eat fish? Do you care that the number of fish we are allowed to catch in the gulf of Mexico is roughly ten percent as many fish as we could catch fifteen years ago? You should. Do you even own now what defines a fish as being "overfished", and therefore under the anti-fishing control of men like Doctor Roy Crabtree, who, when I asked if mortality studies had been done on the town of Maderia Beach with as much fervor as he was presenting charts about the mortality of American Red Snapper, said I should stop making speeches. It was that comment, and how to describe the events under which the conversation between the doctor and me happened, that had left me speechless when I started writing this comment.<br/><br/><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52508778@N04/6138070171" target="_blank" style=""><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6167/6138070171_50533e6569.jpg" id="blogsy-1339870971374.1882" class="alignnone" alt="" width="500" height="375"></a></div> <em>Who would have thought that a law designed to control foreign vessels from taking all of our fish would become part of a global attempt to completely control all fish - one species at a time? The overuse of the Magnuson/Stevens act by environmentalists, stockholders, and global companies like Walmart and Tyson foods eventually charging us to access our public - and American - waters. For thirty-five years a single law had devastated an American industry, an American way of life, and our freedoms at many basic levels. This story of the mortality rate of a once vibrant coastal community should get you interested in the law, and how we can revisit it in these troubled times. Our government has more important things to do than play computer games with fish stocks. Games that will ultimately result in America being like Germany - where recretional fishing is now illegal in an attempt to protect fish from our desire to torture them into extinction.</em><br/><br/>Bur worry not, readers and interested parties. My ability to talk has returned.<br/><br/><h2>The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council</h2>I call myself a member of the Tea Party, whatever that might be. Many of my friends - people I really respect - either roll their eyes when they hear me say that or "advise" me not to bring up the forbidden subject of politics in stuff I write. "Those articles will be on the Internet forever, Gary." they say. "In ten years somebody will be able to use it against you." Use what? My belief in the purity of that document called The Constitution?" That? The belief I share with many that a completely out-of-control federal government has been slowly but certainly shredding us of our personal rights? The belief that with each new destructive regulation something precious is being lost?<br/><br/>That member of the tea party also owns half of an online fishing magazine. And I went to a meeting the other night of the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council. The meeting was lead by a man that is far from a friend of fishing. A beauracrat more protective of his position and envisioned power then in the protection of any species. But Crabtree can bring fifty head-bobbing beauracrats, scientists, academia, and administration taxpaid head bobbers, but the truth is what it is. Regulators are too busy regulating to see the damage they are doing. It is time for the regulated to regulate the regulators.<br/><br/>It is time to remove doctor Roy Crabtree from his position of power. And to replace him with somebody that sees fisherman as being at least as important as the fish he is supposedly protecting. I you do the research on the number of finish being caught 20 years ago and what they - they, whoever the hell Crabtree thinks he is - have allow us to catch now. Who the hell are they anyway?<br/><br/>I asked him a question at that meeting that he refused to answer. We strongly recommend that you ask him yourself. The question is is this, and should serve as an open question to doctor roy Crabtree:<br/><br/><h2>An open letter to Roy Crabtree </h2>Doctor:<br/><br/>What was the American red snapper season in 1992, 2002, and 2012? In months open and seasons closed? And who could take how manu fish home to eat and share with friends and family members?<br/><br/>Also provide the same numbers for the top ten species you see as in need of regulatory protection during that same time period and which species you had control over that was limited to our capture and harvest over that time. Include changes made to a guide's ability to take fish home for their paying clients.<br/><br/>Can you show me how the decrease in the fish you allow us to catch has fixed or protected species? I need on-water numbers, doctor, not mathematical models done on computer. Real numbers of real fish.<br/><br/>When does this increasing regulatory pattern stop or even slow down? When will regulations not be rewuired at such crisis levels. You are now stopping us from taking tile fish. Can you draw a picture of perfect fishery management?<br/><br/>To protect fish from torture, catch and release fishing in Germany and sweden is now illegal. What is your personal stance on such draconian shutdowns? Are you in direct content with any individuals or organizations that were connected in any way to the acceptance and passage of that legislation?<br/><br/>Relative to the three decade take-reduction and season reduction imposed on our community by scientists, academics, and beauracrats like you, can I see the studies you are required by law to provide me as a journalist and citizen relative to the economic impact of your regulatory changes on one town? The city of Madeira beach. I will supply numbers, and I want to compare them to your required studies.<br/><br/>Gary Poyssick, publisher<br/><br/> <br/><br/> I see your studies on biomass. And on fishing allocations, and on your allowing us to catch an additional 10,000 odd American Red Snapper this season. By emergency granting of your power to let us fish. Hve you done the studies you are required to do concerning the economic impact of your increasing and ever-expanding species shutdown?<br/><br/> I said it at that meeting the other night, doctor. You line up with people only who agree with you. Vast wealth is moved around 501c3s for global governance strategies like catch share and marine special zones. You know what is happening and you agree to be part of it. But ask yourself this question. What is the end game for our country if you get your way, animal rights activists? What is the end game of an America where it is illegal to catch a bluegill with a little boy and put it on a frying pan? Or putting a $250,000 Sportfishing boat on the edge of a school of black fin tuna? What is better for the civilization on the shoreline? The gray rooms of socialism, or the open oceans of the tuna boat? Making sure nobody hurts those poor helpless tuna takes away something on that expensive boat that is the same on an ancient fishing craft. Something magical and something free. Don't protect the fish and make the angler go extinct,<br/><br/> <br/><br/> <br/><br/>TheOnlineFishermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09396387898945520454noreply@blogger.com0
