Wild horses at Fort Polk

Our guest tonight is Amy Hanchey, Pres. of Pegasus Equine Guardian Association, that is striving to protect the wild horses on the main post at Fort Polk, Louisiana, as well as at Peason Ridge, and throughout Kisatchie National Forest. The U.S. Army at Fort Polk is in the process of removing wild horses from ranges and pine forests that the horses have inhabited for many generations.

Despite the fact that Ft. Polk Commanding General Gary Brito has said the removal of the horses is to be humane, in actuality, the Army has shown no serious concern, and will shoulder no responsibility for what happens to the horses after they are removed. That very likely means the horses will end up going to a cruel death at slaughterhouses in Mexico and Canada.

Find out how you can help save the Fort Polk wild horses.

This show will be hosted by R.T. Fitch, Pres. of Wild Horse Freedom Federation.

The Pentagon’s War on Freedom of Information

March 19, 2010

This week, the New York Times has published an article by Stephanie Strom which exposes the Pentagon’s recent efforts to undermine and destroy Wikileaks.org, the website that has as its primary mission the posting of incriminating and sensitive secret documents produced by government and business.

In particular, the Pentagon objects to the release by Wikileaks of a report the Army published about itself in 2008, stating that, because of the release of this report, “Wikileaks.org represents a potential force protection, counterintelligence, OPSEC and INFOSEC threat to the U.S. Army,” which is militarese for “a threat to Army operations security and information security.”

Julian Assange, editor of Wikileaks, stated that the Army’s concerns were hypothetical and that the Army hasn’t pointed out any particular distress that has arisen from the release of the report. Assange has said that he is amused by the Army’s contention that Wikileaks.org is supported by the CIA.

This is, of course, only one of many cases, in recent years, in which some agency of the government (whether federal, state, local or international) has taken actions to thwart the dissemination of any information about itself that might disclose something the government doesn’t us to know about. From public school systems trying to hide documentation of their failures to the UK trying to conceal its growing of poppies for heroin to the Bush administration’s attempts to conceal its role in a Venezuelan coup and 9/11, there is always no shortage of devious, nefarious and murderous things the governments of the world at all levels have done, or are doing now that they don’t want us to know about.
