SNAKES

Wary

By Stephen L. Wilmeth

 

            The past several days have revealed the presence of a parallel universe.

            As American citizens, this theme has become not just an occasional reference, but a growing awareness. Things that we have taken for granted are coming apart at the seams.

            In our lives, the expanse of the everyday world has obviously been defined and limited. Apparently, naivete has been our byline for too long. What is coming into focus is a world that is more sinister and manipulated than ever imagined.

            A comparison is the current emergence of snakes from the darkness of their drought-stricken dens into the sunlight of the departing monsoonal rains. During our recent cow work that included 2-4 snakes a day. A better visual reference is the tally of a single day’s encounters.

            Indeed, snakes are being revealed in every corner of our existence. From the pits of the dirt to the pits of marble halls, they are emerging. There is a common theme, too.

            Whether human or vipers, … too many of them are just plain dangerous.

            Weary

            The memory of another president’s (the Georgia peanut farmer) suggestion that the United Nations should have observers in place in American election was embarrassment to most of us. How dare a toothy socialist suggest American elections are crooked!

            What has transpired since, though, gives that old goober picker a mark for either clairvoyance or honest appraisal of entrenched political hooliganism. What seems too bizarre to fathom, though, is that, aside from Florida, only heartland states care enough to do something about the openly corrupt practice of allowing current, imagined, and or departed world citizenry to vote on how American taxes will be divvied up and shared.

            We are weary of the indefensible tyranny of the communists that espouse uncontrolled voting.

            Those of us who actually live on the border and experience blatant open borders policies firsthand know the truth about the danger of welcoming the current year and continuous flow of 2,000,000 illegal voters. The democrats have lost all pretense of camouflaging their mission while only one border governor along with critical mass of conservative citizenry of another state are moxie or brave enough to defend this border! The rest are fully complicit in the business of chaos and ruin.

            We are weary of the blatant disregard of sworn Constitutional duties of the defense of our American border!

            The great American Vax charade makes absolutely no sense to those of us who are restricted to the use of herbicides, insecticides, preventive vaccines, and viable livestock treatment solutions that are labeled with the avoidance and the precaution against resistance. Our veterinarian friends and trusted practitioners remain flabbergasted at the cavalier demand of injecting every human object with experimental chemicals. They are further aghast at withholding data of the wholesale assault on a once naturally protected population.

            We are weary of the known, unknown, or hidden agenda that is being foisted on an increasingly vulnerable populous.

            The fiscal insanity of the American Congress is indefensible. There are absolutely no elected officed holders who have read or crafted a word that goes into these behemoth legislative packages. Shame on anybody who would vote yes on a 2700-word colossus! The creators and conceptual bandits that compile these works of chaos are the staffers, the NGO handlers, and the campaign grifters who depend on Washington (and state capitals) for their kingdom proliferation.

            We are weary of  these entrenched office holders who have come to think the national checkbook is an endless fountain of money.”these trough suckers with no adult oversite visionaries who have recited an oath of office without their fingers being crossed.

Of course, we could go on and fill a document of similar proportions to the insanity of these legislative ensembles from hell, but there is no leader at the controls who could or would alter this collision course with calamity. Only the mob persists.

            Like a burro in a hailstorm … there is no protection for the American citizenry.

            Wary

            The retreat and midnight surrender of Afghanistan is symbolic of the distrust that Washington has created and spread across our land and our psyche. In the undeclared war that became the most expensive war in history, Americans are left holding … nothing.

            The question of whether this war was worth the squandering of lives and treasury offers no basis for answer. What is there to compare? What is there to measure when nothing is the persistent multiplier?

            Trust doesn’t exist.

            Then, there is the growing indicator that even the joint chiefs have fraternized with the enemy by signaling their complicit undermining of the former president. All is lost if even the most basic loyalties are divided or purposely abused.

            What these people are missing is that their make-believe world, a cultured and created existence, has a shelf life that is not infinite. Like a moth to a flame their actions cannot persist without ultimate danger to not just themselves, but to all of us.

            On a recent evening stop at a neighbor’s, these two subjects were discussed.

            Beginning with the formalities of talking about grass growth and the problems with liver abscesses in feeding Holstein/Angus crossed calves, the denizens of the deep became the featured topic. Indeed, snakes of all persuasions are an issue of general agreement.

            Those we are currently encountering daily certainly are a problem. We aren’t necessarily paranoid about them, but we don’t like ‘em, either. We deal with them and then play for time knowing cold weather will halt their above ground activities. They will then slither back into the dank holes in the ground and out of our lives.

            It is the dens of the Washington and coastal elites that are the more persistent threat to our existence. They are the real danger to our constitutional beliefs and our way of life. They are the ones that won’t disappear when the snow flies so paranoia will persist.

            Wary is simply the nicest word that seems to fit.

There are, however. good snakes. For instance:
