The staff at GFN work literally around the clock investigating and verifying information we receive from various sources to include you, the GFN Members. Without the input from these "various sources" GFN would have a much more difficult job of bringing you our little view of the world. We want to take this opportunity to thank ALL of you for your input and help making GFN what it is.

Many of you have contacted GFN asking us "where is part two of the expose' exposing the link between HSUS (H$U$) and the mafia? All I'll say at this point is bare with us, it's coming and is a real eye-opener.

Until then,

Onward

Hello all, I hope the day finds every-one of you and your families safe after the storms and tornadoes in Oklahoma last night.

Most Oklahoma's legislators don't seem to have a clue of what their job actually is. They have the misguided, arrogant, and ignorant assumption that their job is to pass law after law to deprive US Citizens of our freedoms. Nothing could ever be farther from their job description. Their duty is to uphold the principles of freedom guaranteed by the US and OK Constitutions of the American's living inside of their districts. Their duty is to safeguard, protect and defend the freedoms of every one of their constituents if the acts of their constituents do not infringe on another persons freedoms and inalienable rights even if their constituents are a minority group.

The legislators at our state capital passed 21 new laws and raised the penalty of 19 more laws this year knowing that our prisons are already overcrowded and the jails have waiting lists of more than 1500 people who are awaiting to be put into the prison system.

Instead of defending and protecting the freedoms of US Citizens our legislators vie for the support of well funded special interests organizations and champion their causes even at the expense of the inalienable rights, freedoms, culture, heritage, animal agriculture industries and adverse effects to US Citizens lives these laws have. As I have stated previously and proven many times, raids to enforce any law carry an inherent risk to human lives but many of our legislators are willing to stand by and see rural Oklahomans killed as long as the special interest organization are behind them and working to keep them inside their big comfortable offices with the nice annual salary for working 4 months out of a year.

Our legislators must stop playing political games with human lives and Oklahoma residents' freedoms and liberties trying to cater to special interest organizations like the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) that fully endorses the idea of depriving US Citizens of their pursuit of happiness, liberty, animal agriculture industries and even killing OK residents' is acceptable to defend a dog, cat, chicken or fish.

The puppy mill bill is simply a method to put many OK dog breeders out of business just as the HSUS passed Prop 2 in CA and gestation crates for pigs laws in FL, ME and CA to put the swine industry and poultry industries out of business in those states.

Anytime the HSUS can pass laws which force care standards which raise the cost of producing a product and decrease the production ability of the producer they have in essence crippled the industry and are regulating it out of business.

These well funded animal extremist organizations use legislators they have in their pocket either through campaign donations or through indoctrination into support for their animal extremists ideology at the state capitals to introduce these bills. And these bills endanger human lives and cripple our rural economy.

Our legislators have to pull their head out of the rear end of the HSUS leadership and stop endangering human lives and crippling Oklahoma's' rural industries over these animal extremists misguided ideology and their goal to criminalize and end all animal agriculture industries.

Thank you,

Former Department of Homeland Security Under Secretary Asa Hutchinson said Wednesday animal agriculture was a "likely target for terrorism" and urged it to undertake stronger pubic relations campaigns and Congress-lobbying efforts.

Hutchinson, a former Arkansas Congressman, told the Animal Agriculture Alliance's 9th Annual Stakeholders Summit a terrorist attack on the U.S. food supply would severely reduce exports and thus go a long way to crippling the American economy.

"Their pattern is to go after something that is [emblematic] of Western civilization," Hutchinson said, citing the example of Israel's hobbled citrus economy in 1978 after the terrorist group the Arab Revolutionary Council poisoned Israeli oranges, reducing the country's orange exports by 40 percent. "You have to recognize that you are a likely target for terrorism." He said animal agriculture in the United States needs to step up its marketing efforts "so the public understands the industry" and is not taken in by misinformation spread by so-called animal rights groups.

Hutchinson cited such groups as a major threat to the U.S. animal agriculture industry.

"Their goal is to stop the killing of animals and that is incompatible with [our goal] of a safe and secure food industry," he said.

Because most illegal immigrants come to the United States in search of work, Hutchinson said, if the animal agriculture industry were empowered with a Web-based system that allowed it to check a potential employee's legal immigration status, the industry could go a long way in helping stop the flow of illegals across our borders.

Contrary to popular belief H$U$ is NOT a Law Enforcement agency in any sense of the word, so, why the mobile crime lab?

A new mobile crime lab for the Humane Society of the United States is equipped with the latest forensics tools to process evidence on-site of suspected animal-cruelty and dogfighting cases. Law-enforcement agencies across the country can use the vehicle's capabilities to investigate and prosecute dogfighters, cockfighters and animal abusers.

"We wanted to make a vehicle that would be able to come on-site and help with evidence processing and documentation," said Chris Schindler, a crime scene investigator with the Humane Society.

The vehicle stopped at the Richmond SPCA yesterday as part of a tour of the East Coast.

It was funded through a grant from the Florida-based Folke H. Peterson Charitable Foundation and features two examination rooms, as well as equipment to test blood and ultraviolet lights to find trace evidence. In the case of dead animals, the vehicle has entomology kits for identification of bugs found on the animal's body.

It takes advantage of equipment and techniques used to investigate crimes against humans, Schindler said.

Animal-control officers believe the vehicle is a benefit, especially for localities that may not have these types of resources readily available.

"Resources in smaller localities and cities such as Richmond can be limited at times. When you can pool efforts like this and call on the national resources like the HSUS . . . that's what is going to build a strong case and make for a strong conviction," said Jody Jones, manager of the Richmond Animal Care and Control Division.

As Kevin Kilgore, Hanover County's chief of animal control, was touring the truck, he jokingly told Schindler the truck was being commandeered in the name of the commonwealth.

"I'd love to have a resource like this in our jurisdiction, but we don't and we probably will not because of budget problems the whole country is having, but for HSUS to have invested in this and offer it to us to use is a tremendous thing," Kilgore said.

Animal-control officers and animal-rights activists believe that this mobile crime lab can help present strong cases in court that lead to convictions. That will go a long way to ending similar incidents, said Robin Starr, CEO of the Richmond SPCA.

"We certainly hope that we can eradicate [dogfighting], and the way to do that is to make prosecutions serious and something to be feared," Starr said.

Every once in a while GFN will give its Members a recipe for a meat feast. We do this for two reasons. The first reason being we want you to enjoy healthy meals. The second reason is it will ALWAYS include the use of meat and that makes the vegans at H$U$ go stark raving mad. This comes into GFN from Mary Ann Lien. Enjoy.

Okay, here it is. The master recipe for the beer-can chicken, the showstopper that will dazzle your family and friends. If you've never made beer-can chicken before, start here, and once you've mastered the basic procedure, there's no limit to its variations.

1. 1 can (12 ounces) beer
2. 1 chicken (31/2 to 4 pounds)
3. 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Barbecue Rub (recipe below) or your favorite commercial rub
4. 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

2 cups wood chips or chunks (preferably hickory or cherry), soaked for 1 hour in water and/or beer to cover, then drained Vertical chicken roaster (optional)

Pop the tab off the beer can. Pour half of the beer (3/4 cup) over the soaking wood chips or chunks, or reserve for another use. If cooking the chicken on the can, using a church key-style can opener, make 2 additional holes in its top. Set the can of beer aside. Remove the packet of giblets from the body cavity of the chicken and set aside for another use. Remove and discard the fat just inside the body and neck cavities. Rinse the chicken, inside and out, under cold running water and then drain and blot dry, inside and out, with paper towels. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the rub inside the body cavity and 1/2 teaspoon inside the neck cavity of the chicken. Drizzle the oil over the outside of the bird and rub or brush it all over the skin. Sprinkle the outside of the bird with 1 tablespoon of rub and rub it all over the skin. Spoon the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of rub into the beer through a hole in the top of the can. Don't worry if the beer foams up: This is normal.

If cooking on a can: Hold the bird upright, with the opening of the body cavity at the bottom, and lower it onto the beer can so the can fits into the cavity. Pull the chicken legs forward to form a sort of tripod, so the bird stands upright. The rear leg of the tripod is the beer can. If cooking on a roaster: Fill it with the beer mixture and position the chicken on top, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Tuck the tips of the wings behind the chicken's back. Set up the grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium. If using a charcoal grill, place a large drip pan in the center. If using a gas grill, place all the wood chips or chunks in the smoker box or in a smoker pouch and preheat on high until you see smoke, then reduce the heat to medium.

When ready to cook, if using a charcoal grill, toss all of the wood chips or chunks on the coals. Stand the chicken up in the center of the hot grate, over the drip pan and away from the heat. Cover the grill and cook the chicken until the skin is a dark golden brown and very crisp and the meat is cooked through (about 180F on an instant-read meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of a thigh, but not touching the bone), 11/4 to 11/2 hours. If using a charcoal grill, you'll need to add 12 fresh coals per side after 1 hour. If the chicken skin starts to brown too much, loosely tent the bird with aluminum foil.

If cooking on a can: Using tongs, hold the bird by the can and carefully transfer it in an upright position to a platter. If cooking on a roaster: Use oven mitts or pot holders to remove the bird from the grill while it's still on the vertical roaster.

Present the bird to your guests. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then carefully lift it off its support. Take care not to spill the hot beer or otherwise burn yourself. Halve, quarter, or carve the chicken and serve.

Below we read the thoughts of Butch, from East Tennessee. Remember folks, there are literally MILLIONS of U.S. Citizens who feel just like Butch does.

What is happening to us happened to another country over 70 years ago. A small fanatical group of zealots/fanatics started threatening, bribing, and brainwashing their population into thinking their way is the only way and the right way to do things. Children were brainwashed in their schools from kindergarten on up into high school thinking the fanatics were the right people to get things done and help their country and then they turned on their parents. They would turn their parents in for being against the rules of the party/fanatics.

Nothing anyone said would change the populations' minds until a war broke out and the country went into ruins! The leaders were jailed and some committed suicide. Im talking about Nazi Germany and what happened when Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party started taking over the government!! Hitler, while in prison wrote the book that the animals rights follows as their way of getting things done to suit their sick agenda. It was called Mein Kampf!

Every step we see in that book is being followed by the H$U$ and PETA, right down the letter!! Right now kids in our schools are being trained to look out for animal cruelty no matter how small or insignificant and report it to the local authorities.

Our politicians are in bed with the ARA's and wont lift a finger to stop the onslaught of the American Way of Life so many died and sacrificed for. Our Constitution isn't worth paper it's written on anymore. It's just an ancient document with wonderful ideas that no longer work for us.

The veterans that died and suffered thru so many wars defending that piece of paper are being kicked in the ass and laughed at for defending such a silly document. At least the way it seems to our legislators and all those special interest groups who love animals more then people, or so they say, when in reality its all about money and power. They could give a damn about the animals and what's best for them.

Take America Back, that's a joke if ever there was one! Take it back to where? To what? Its a nice saying and speaking point if you want to get some folks aroused but its not worth writing home about or basing your beliefs in.

The laws have been written, and the people have been screwed, by the very politicians they elected.

Believing in their bullchit they holler when campaigning for public office. One elected official many years ago after campaigning and winning his office by a wide margin made the following statement on his inaugural "all campaign promises made in the heat of the campaign are now null and void"!! That's what happens all the time.

Folks this is the type of "Big Brother" action which WILL also come for your animals, guns and yes even your children. At the link below is a Pennsylvania Government paid TV ad currently running in PA. This is the same type of thing which H$U$ will do if you're, required by law, to microchip your animals.

If you are offended by this type of action, well, you voted for it so really there is no-one to blame but yourself.

It looks like H$U$ has convinced this bear to go vegan.
