Are Birthmarks Connected to Violent Death in Past Life?
Well, I can only speak of my Own experience which I shall relate as follows; One day during a physical exam my new doctor said, "Have you ever been Dead in your past life?" I replied, Well, Not that I remember. He said, " Have you ever noticed these two large circular Scars on your back?" Well, yes, I often wondered about those. He went on to tell me that as well as being a learned physician, he was also an imminent AntiqueScarOlogist, trained in the decipherism of 'mysterious' Scars. After measuring my scars he deduced that, scientificly speaking, the Scars could Only have been made by a SaberToothed Tiger, no less, no More! Not surprising, which explains why I dislike Cats to this very day! Proof positive that I had been killed and eaten by a cat way back When. Then, he said, " What's with the Scar all around your Neck?" OMG! Now, I was getting Worried! After a thorough examination of This mysterious Scar, he reckoned with much authority that all scientific evidence points to it being the Scar of a Hangmans Noose! He explained that from the particular twist, and fibermarks of the Rope scar that it could only have occurred in the early 1800's out west, and that I had been strung up as the result of a simple little prank during the Fall of the year, where I had removed a wagon wheel from a Constables Buggy. To my great and somewhat Sudden surprise, it turned out to be a Hanging Offense! This explains the Sore Throat I sometimes get in the winter. Then he turned my now skittish attention to what I always thought was a Third Nipple. Nope, he says, that ain't no Nipple, That, young man in my estimation, is a Bullet Hole Scar! He poked and prodded, measured and marked. He told me that even much to His Own surprise, "There's a Musketball, or Miniball, lodged in you Chest, looks like it went right through your Heart!". An incredible turn of events! And here I've often 'wondered' why I get short of breath when A gun is pointed in my direction! Based on his best forensics science, he determined that I had been Shot and suddenly Killed during a Battle of the Civil War when I heroically saved our Company's Drumset from being captured by the enemy! Not, I thought, something worthy of being Shot over! So Yes, as you can plainly See, here's Living, or perhaps 'Dead' 'truth' that these 'Mysterious Scars and Marks ('Death' Marks Really), that we so often discount as Nothing, Do mean Something. So, you Doubting Nay Sayers out there who have these of your Own, don't be surprised if someday You Too, wake up Alive, only to discover that you were Also once... dead. :/ :/

Are Birthmarks Connected to Violent Death in Past Life?

In Beyond Science, Epoch Times explores research and accounts related to phenomena and theories that challenge our current knowledge. We delve into ideas that stimulate the imagination and open up new possibilities. Share your thoughts with us on these sometimes controversial topics in the comments section below.
An old woman died in Thailand with the wish to reincarnate as a boy. Her daughter dipped a finger in white paste and marked the back of the woman’s neck with the paste.
Not long after the woman’s death, the daughter gave birth to a son with a white mark on the back of his neck that mirrored the white paste left on the woman’s neck. When the boy became old enough to talk, he would claim possession of things that belonged to his grandmother as though they’d always been his.
This is one of many cases recounted by Dr. Jim Tucker at the University of Virginia in which birthmarks seem to relate to past lives.
The late Dr. Ian Stevenson, whose work Tucker continues, investigated 210 cases of children with birthmarks or defects that related to memories they retained from past lives.
Stevenson obtained a post-mortem report in 49 cases. The wound and birthmark were within 10 square centimeters of each other on the body in 43 percent of these cases, and many were much closer to the same location.
In some cultures, people mark the deceased with soot or paste to recognize them when they are reborn.
Here are a few examples of birthmarks related to past life memories studied by Stevenson.

A boy born in India without fingers on his right hand remembered another life in which he was a boy who had his fingers amputated after sticking them in a fodder chopping machine.
MORE:•Pre-Birth Memories: Can People Remember Being in the Womb? Being Born?
A boy in Turkey with a malformed right ear remembered having been shot and killed at close range on that side of his head.
A boy named Maha Ram in India could remember being killed in a previous life with a shotgun fired at close range. He remembered enough details of his past life for Stevenson to find the autopsy report of the man supposedly reincarnated as Ram. The birthmarks on Ram’s chest corresponded to the bullet wounds.
Some anecdotal accounts of birthmarks from past lives that have not been verified are shared on a past life discussion blog post.
Karen Kubicko posted photos of herself in high school with a birthmark on her neck and a photo of herself later in life without the birthmark. She said she remembered in 2011 that in a previous life she was a woman named Helen who was hit by a stray bullet in the neck and died in 1927.
The mark was where the bullet had hit in her vision.
After she remembered this, the mark gradually disappeared.
Another person on the blog said she had a birthmark on the back of her leg. She remembered a past life in which a snake bit her there. A few years later, she realized the mark had faded away. She said the area is not often exposed, so light exposure or other such external elements are not to blame.

Of course we could go on, and on, and on, and on with warning after warning put out there by various governmental entities, non profit groups and well meaning organizations that want to save lives and protect the public from themselves, But I won't go on, and on, and on. Well...maybe a Little bit. Our televisions are flooded with cautions and warnings and scary stories about dangerous cars, tools, clothing, medicines, drugs, you name it and we are bombarded daily with public health messages to keep us safe from dangerous things, people, food items and the list goes on, and on.
Now before I Do go 'on' here, remember that I'm simply the 'messenger' here, statistical numbers may be more or less than the actual figures given as different resources tend to come up with conflicting numbers for any given subject.

So, did you see Mention of any TV spots by ANY governmental or public or private sector entity, or do you remember When was the last time you Have seen one about the potential dangers that Firearms, yes, Firearms, there's that word that gets folks all rilled up and their trigger fingers itchy as all git out, pose to Americans? For example, in the year 2013 approx 10,076 Americans were killed by Firearms, that number includes murders, accidents and suicides. Over 290,00 were wounded by Firearms, again, attempted murders, Accidents and suicide attempts. Yeah, I Know, I Know, don't blame the 'Firearm', guns don't kill people, People kill people. Sure, got it. But the Firearm Does need a Finger on the Trigger. Just like a Car needs a Driver, Tobacco needs a User, and sugar needs a spoon. All those are dangerous enough that we are lambasted daily about the dangers of such common daily use things. Yet...not One single little Mention about the potential dangers that Firearms pose to Americans. Is 10,076 dead and 290,00 wounded Not enough, or Important enough to spark even a Little flury of Public Announcement 'warnings' of Some sort, at least from Someone out there? Is anyone home? Hello! Is the use of 'sugar' more dangerous than Firearms? The SILENCE is as deafening as the concusive report of a gun going off in ones ear. What Could the 'matter' be?
And before you start building a gallows on which to string me up for the crows to peck my eyes out. No I am Not 'anti-gun' nor 'anti-gun ownership', and Really no one is coming to tear down your little fort and take your 'gatts' away from you, get Over the paronoia, and listen less to the 'conspiracy buffs' before they turn your perfectly good brains into scrambled mush. I simply strive here to pose a question that I have seen No one even come Close to asking. Again, What could the matter be? Why the deafening SILENCE, Why no Public Forum announcements bulging from our TV screen, and Newspapers, and other printed forums, warning Americans about the potential deadly use and missuse of BFF Firearms? Wait!! Did you hear something?? Nope, that's Silence, just silence. :/ :/

Money? What Money?
'They’re Singing On Capital Hill'
By BuddyBlack 2016
The politicians
Are scheming,
And the masses
Are teeming with anger,
Screaming
Where’s my money gone?!
They see
The same ol’ dance,
And hear
The same ol’ song
Year after year,
All year long.
I’ve taken
Care of your funds
Real well,
Is the 'Story'
They hear the politicians tell.
Have no fear
‘Cause I’m right here,
as he pets
His broads and drinks
his beer,
All the while sayin’ 'have no fear,
I've done no wrong'.
And now,
The witch hunt
Is goin’ on mighty strong,
And some are being caught
And pleading wrong.
They’re changin’ the tune
Of their age-old song,
And now are singing
I stamp out evil,
And I do no wrong.

Pat, And "Porongracy"
'Oh my good Lord Jesus Christ in heaven! Did you Know That? Have you Seen that? This is just absolutly incredible! If This isn't the work of the devil, then I don't know what Is. I just have to question Why a Woman would Ever want to do that! Who in the World would sit and Watch that kind of Movie? I have just Never Heard of such a thing as this! Do 'normal' women watch these kinds of demon movies? I don't know of one single woman that Does. I know my wife doesn't! ... She's just not interested in that sort of thing. I mean, good lord, she's got Me, why would she need Anything Else. If a woman is happily married, pregnant, and in the kitchen, she will Never even 'think' about that sort of thing. That's why we Men have just got to be vigilent! The devil will work his evil ways over women who have idle hands and gossipy mouths. We have to keep their hands, and their mouths busy! Now as part of my thorough investigation of this abomination, I crossed myself, and asked Jesus Christ to give me the strength of Jobe as I peered through my fingers at one of those demon movies the other night while secluded in the privacy and safety of my closet. Oh my Lord! This was the devils "Pornogracy" at it's lowest level! I just cannot describe the, what "Porongracy" watchers would call, 'TiTTilating', images that were on that screen! These Women were actually 'loving' one another! Doing things that only their husbands have a right to do. Their Mouths on each others Mouths! Their Lips moving all over each others bodies! Sweating! My Lord, they were Sweating so! Sinful images! It was the "creepiest Moment Ever!" I can tell you that these demon movies can control a mans brain right from the getgo! I had to call on my Savior to get me out of there before 'addicktion' set in! I don't know How Long the devil had me locked in that closet but I Can tell you that the good lord saw to it that while there I Sweated the devil right out of me! I tell you it left me so weak that my knees were knocking together like cymbals in a choir band! As soon as I recover my strength I will brave-up and investigate the rest of that demon movie. This was an eye opening event, and I don't recommend that Anyone even 'think' about watching one of these demon movies unless you have adult supervision with you. Oh my Lord! I can still see those images in my mind, and those 'sounds' they were making! Praise the Lord, and may he give us the strength to fight against, and resist this demon "Pornogracy". ;) ;)

McGraw-Hill's New Definition of 'Salvery'
Mcgraw-Hill said they will change the wording to "Forced Migration". (??!) Migration????? Here's the Definition of the word 'Migration'; Seasonal movement of animals from one region to another, movement from one part of something to another, HUMAN migration is the movement by People from one place to another with the intentions of settling temporarily or permanently in the new location. Is McGraw-Hill using their Own version of reality as to their Own definition of 'Migration?? Would they have us actually Believe that the Millions of Africans that were Stolen against their will from their mother Countries, stuffed in the holds of rat infested 'ships', thousands perishing along the way, brought to the West Indies where they were sold outright as SLAVES There, or consigned to ports in America where they were eventually SOLD as SLAVES against their wills, and where for hundreds of years they, and their offspring, continued to be held against their wills as SLAVES, and during that time were not paid for their toils and suffering??????? Does This sound like a "Migration"?? Are they Really going to get away with Changing History of SLAVERY in America by softpeddeling it as "Migration"? My God, next they will claim that all those SLAVES were just on a vacation romp to see the world, or the KKK was just a little group of cubscouts camping out and burning crosses to keep warm, or that Germany didn't slaughter over Six Million innocent souls during the Second World War!! Don't think for a second that it can't happen, already they have 'sanitized' SLAVERY! TexASS has the Market on Textbooks that are used all across America, and it is a well known fact that the Religious Fanatics in that virtious learned state who openly, And who worst of all, secrectively, deny American History and are hellbent on Erasing the Truth of America's History, good or bad, to suit their Own warped and biased 'religious' agendas. McGraw-Hill is so deep in bed with these biased, bigoted deniers that for a few dollors more they will Print Anything that TexASS dictates. Contrary to this sickening diet of rubish called "Forced Migration" that McGraw-Hill, and TexASS would like to forcefeed us on, the sad and bitter Truth of the matter is that instead, it was 'Forced SLAVERY'. S -L -A -V -E -R -Y of human Souls, Stolen, and SOLD not unlike any other piece of farm 'property'. Wake up folks! SLAVERY in America is Nothing that we should brag about or be even remotely pround of, but it DID happen, and for Anyone to try to erase that History, and call it something that it was Not, is Unconscionable. :/ :/
A Houston teenager noticed the reference in a geography textbook that included the slave trade in a chapter about immigration.

'Super Easy' a poem by BuddyBlack
'SUPER EASY'
By BuddyBlack 2016
Even supermen
Cry
real tears,
Have soft hearts,
And
feel real fears,
Are easy marks
For
a warm soft touch,
Get too little
And
give too much,
Are made of crystal brittle steel,
They
fall for smiles
And always will.
A Tree Fell, But No One 'Heard' It
News'Flash! News'Flash! Breaking 'News'! Attention! Attention!
Welcome to yet Another Breaking 'News' story brought straight to your living rooms by none other than 'BBSN' (BuddyBlacksSatirical'News') Station!
'A Tree Fell, But No One Heard It'
If you Still live in the 'Tar Heel' State of North Carolina, which was recently purchased for 'chicken feed' by Tyson Foods (as in Poultry), which shares the border with the state of 'The Price of Doing 'Business', then you have no doubt heard or read, or perhaps your Turkey flock has Warned you of a 'snitch' in their midst, about that spiffy new 'AG-Gag' law, that the N.C. Senate passed, and which was rammed through their chicken grinders by their very Own, Ag Guru Senator Brent Jackson (BJ). Jackson, a mega farmer himself has it seems, 'close' ties to just about everything, and Everyone, that involves N.C. Agriculture so it is no big surprise that he would foot an 'Ag-Gag' law for the state that the Agricultural Industry now 'owns'. Well, and wouldn't you Know, our intreprid, and fearless 'Reporter' BuddyBlack (BB) has leaped into the chicken poo fray with both feet, and as if by magic found the good senator up to his knees in poo of his own making. Let's listen in and see what excrement Buddy can squeeze out of the king of chicken poo (AKA 'liquid fertilizer).
BB: Senator Jackson (BJ), you seem to have your fingers in just about everything Agricultural in the state of North Carolina, and of course including Being a farmer, owning a huge Liquid Fertilizer company among other interests. Do you ever feel that perhaps you have more than a little 'Conflict of Interest' sponsoring an 'Ag-gag' law that not only 'protects' Other farmers, but including yourself as well?
BJ: I think I'll plead the 5th Amendment on that one, Buddyboy.
BB: So, you sponsored a 'law' that protects you Yourself, and now you hide behind the 5th Amendment to protect yourself from a question?
BJ: You got my 'answer' to your question, Next.
BB: Did Tyson Foods have any input as to your decision to proffer this Ag-Gag bill?
BJ: You'd have to ask Them. I only speak for All the citizens of North Carolina.
BB: Do you mean Every single person in North Carolina, or perhaps just the Poultry and Meat Industry?
BJ: I speak for Every person here, chickens don't vote, people do, and they voted me into office.
BB: Was there a referendom where the citizens of North Carolina had a chance to Actually Vote for or against your Ag-Gag bill?
BJ: They don't Need to Vote on it, I 'know' what they 'want' already.
BB: But how can you "know" what Every citizen might "want", unless they have a chance to 'voice' their opinion by voting on an issue that could affect them adversly?
BJ: There's nothing adverse about my Bill. It protects Any business from snoops that would try to make them look bad. Business owners can look after themselves and 'police' themselves better With this law. We don't need snitches, and snoops with camers taking pictures of private industry as they go about their honest days work.
BB: Oh, I see. So, if we put the 'Fox' in charge of the 'hen house' that makes it better than having a 'guard' to keep the fox out? And when you say "business owners" aren't you referring to the Poultry and Meat Industry as a whole?
BJ: I'm talking about Any business owner in the state. Even the Better Business Bureau is happy with my Bill.
BB: Why are 'business owners', particullary the commercial poultry and other Commercial animal growers so afraid of the public finding out how they might operate, good or bad, on their 'farms'?
BJ: It's Their private property, and what they do or don't do there is no ones business but their Own. These snooping 'animal rights' fanatics sneak in there pretending to be employees, then they start videoing everything that goes on. They give the industry a bad name. My Bill now prevents them from doing it.
BB: If they're not doing anything Wrong, and if they're operating within the law, it seems they would have nothing to Hide from the public in the First place. After all, it's the 'Public' that buys their products. Shouldn't the Public have the right to know how their 'product' is 'produced', and under what conditions?
BJ: They all Are within the law. They have Nothing to hide.
BB: I guess you've seen some of the incredible undercover videos of some of these businesses? Are the actions depicted in those videos what you would consider 'with-in the law'? And how would Anyone Ever know what actually often occurs if not for the evidence shown in the videos, and for someone to step foreward to disclose those actions? Isn't this Now sorta like 'outta sight-Outta-mind'. Like that tree that falls in the forest does it make a sound if no one's around to 'hear' it?
BJ: Those 'videos' were done illegally, and can't be used as evidence. If a producer finds out that an employee breaks the law they'll be fired. If a snooper now takes a videos 'undercover', he gets sued, it's that simple. The industry will police ThemSelves and they will clean up their act. But we gotta keep these snoopers out.
BB: So, it sounds like the "snoopers" cause the problems by videoing the things they see going on...and Now without the "snoopers' being Able to video these violations, those violations will cease to happen???
BJ: Exactly.
BB: Hmmm....goes right back to the 'tree in the forest' thing. And, If no one can See evil, or Hear evil, they certainly cannot Speak of the evil.
BJ: (kicking at a pile of turkey poo, scratching his head, no comment)
BB: Well, now lets imagine that a bonified Employee of one of these Animal Producers actually Wittnesses a violation of law. Who does he tell about it?
BJ: He tells the management about it, not some stupid newspaper.
BB: Would it be wise for that incredibly Brave, or just as dumb, employee to already have another Job lined up? Do you think he would still be employeed there after that little stunt, And not be Blackballed from any Other industry afterwards?
BJ: (silence....more silence...looking around...)
BB: Hmmm...I think I just heard a 'Tree fall'.
BJ: What...I didn't hear a thing.
BB: Senator, I believe you. Now, as I understand it, your Ag-Gag Bill also covers businesses that actually have little or No connection to the Agriculture Industry, such as Nursing Homes for the Elderly, Automobile Repair Shops, Bakeries, Hotels, and, well, just about every business that has Nothing to Do with the Ag Industry, even Grocery Stores. How did That happen?
BJ: The way I see it, Every business has the right to operate unmolested by snooping reporters or undercover snitches or whistleblowers. My Bill protects them.
BB: Some might 'say' that you have broadened your Voter base with this what seems like a personal crusade on your part, not to mention a Vested interest. What would you say to those people?
BJ: Mind your Own business.
BB: Wouldn't you 'think' that the public would want to Know what goes on in, say, a Nursing Home, which as you Know is rife with unsavorey practices? With your Ag-Gag bill, how will we know about abuses with-in that Industry when their Employees who are already being paid a minimum or less wage, are afraid to speak up if they witness violations?
BJ: I would say to them, don't be afraid, speak up, complain to the management, They will correct the 'problem'. These places will be better able to police themselves without having to worry about whistleblowers running to the news media and making the business look bad.
BB: So, you're not concerned that the "management" in that case would simply see the concerned Employee as their "problem", and so just get rid of the employee, and "problem" solved. I think we're back to the 'See no Evil, Hear no evil' thing. What protects the concerned employee here?
BJ: The management will protect the employee and correct the problems himself.
BB: Ahhhh....don't look Now, but there's a 'Fox in your Henhouse' Senator. Have you Always had this seemingly Disconnect with Reality? Do you Really have more concern about the 'Industry', yet little or None about the Employee, who without, the 'Industry' would be for naught?
BJ: I care about Everyone, Every Voter, that's my Job. If I 'protect' the Industry, That 'protects' the employee in turn. It's very simple. Even I understand it.
BB: Allllright then. It looks like your snappy little Ag-Gag Bill is being challenged by a lot of groups that feel this Bill is overbroad, far reaching, and not a little arbitrary. What do you say to those groups?
BJ: They're a bunch of crybaby, bleeding heart animal rights fanatics! They don't stand a chance against Me. I have more Power in the Senate that God himself. I didn't work my way into being in charge of all these Agricultural Commities for Nothing you know. These whiney groups will get Nowhere, go Nowhere, and will look stupid in the end. The North Carolina Senate 'works' for Me, they know that without Me, They would not be where they are today. I AM the Senate, they don't 'vote' on, or even Think about, Anything that concerns Agreculture in This State, unless they talk to Me first. Look, I gotta go now, I'm up to my butt in poop.
BB: Yep, I'd have to agree with you on That one Senator, the 'poop' Is getting pretty Deep in here. Thank you for the 'enlightenment', and you might want to look into that little 'Conflict Of Interest' thing.
And so it goes. We have waded deep into the poop world of this fine selfless Senator, who's Only concern is Not for himself or his Own mega Ag Business, but the safety and welfare of his happy voters...er.. Citizens that is, of the State of North Carolina, a state it seems, bought and paid for by the various agricultural industries who happily call This state their Own.
Where this poop saga ends no one knows, but it Is clear just exactly who this Ag-Gag bill benifits, and those who will 'profit' from it's passing in the Senate, 'owned' by none other than his Rightious Highness, the Ag Guru of North Carolina, Senator Brent Jackson.
Join us again, somewhere in the near future no doubt, when our nerves of steel, boundless of energy, wise beyond description, 'News' Reporter Extraordinar', BuddyBlack brings our attention to Another 'Tree, falling in the woods'.
Welcome to yet Another Breaking 'News' story brought straight to your living rooms by none other than 'BBSN' (BuddyBlacksSatirical'News') Station!
'A Tree Fell, But No One Heard It'
If you Still live in the 'Tar Heel' State of North Carolina, which was recently purchased for 'chicken feed' by Tyson Foods (as in Poultry), which shares the border with the state of 'The Price of Doing 'Business', then you have no doubt heard or read, or perhaps your Turkey flock has Warned you of a 'snitch' in their midst, about that spiffy new 'AG-Gag' law, that the N.C. Senate passed, and which was rammed through their chicken grinders by their very Own, Ag Guru Senator Brent Jackson (BJ). Jackson, a mega farmer himself has it seems, 'close' ties to just about everything, and Everyone, that involves N.C. Agriculture so it is no big surprise that he would foot an 'Ag-Gag' law for the state that the Agricultural Industry now 'owns'. Well, and wouldn't you Know, our intreprid, and fearless 'Reporter' BuddyBlack (BB) has leaped into the chicken poo fray with both feet, and as if by magic found the good senator up to his knees in poo of his own making. Let's listen in and see what excrement Buddy can squeeze out of the king of chicken poo (AKA 'liquid fertilizer).
BB: Senator Jackson (BJ), you seem to have your fingers in just about everything Agricultural in the state of North Carolina, and of course including Being a farmer, owning a huge Liquid Fertilizer company among other interests. Do you ever feel that perhaps you have more than a little 'Conflict of Interest' sponsoring an 'Ag-gag' law that not only 'protects' Other farmers, but including yourself as well?
BJ: I think I'll plead the 5th Amendment on that one, Buddyboy.
BB: So, you sponsored a 'law' that protects you Yourself, and now you hide behind the 5th Amendment to protect yourself from a question?
BJ: You got my 'answer' to your question, Next.
BB: Did Tyson Foods have any input as to your decision to proffer this Ag-Gag bill?
BJ: You'd have to ask Them. I only speak for All the citizens of North Carolina.
BB: Do you mean Every single person in North Carolina, or perhaps just the Poultry and Meat Industry?
BJ: I speak for Every person here, chickens don't vote, people do, and they voted me into office.
BB: Was there a referendom where the citizens of North Carolina had a chance to Actually Vote for or against your Ag-Gag bill?
BJ: They don't Need to Vote on it, I 'know' what they 'want' already.
BB: But how can you "know" what Every citizen might "want", unless they have a chance to 'voice' their opinion by voting on an issue that could affect them adversly?
BJ: There's nothing adverse about my Bill. It protects Any business from snoops that would try to make them look bad. Business owners can look after themselves and 'police' themselves better With this law. We don't need snitches, and snoops with camers taking pictures of private industry as they go about their honest days work.
BB: Oh, I see. So, if we put the 'Fox' in charge of the 'hen house' that makes it better than having a 'guard' to keep the fox out? And when you say "business owners" aren't you referring to the Poultry and Meat Industry as a whole?
BJ: I'm talking about Any business owner in the state. Even the Better Business Bureau is happy with my Bill.
BB: Why are 'business owners', particullary the commercial poultry and other Commercial animal growers so afraid of the public finding out how they might operate, good or bad, on their 'farms'?
BJ: It's Their private property, and what they do or don't do there is no ones business but their Own. These snooping 'animal rights' fanatics sneak in there pretending to be employees, then they start videoing everything that goes on. They give the industry a bad name. My Bill now prevents them from doing it.
BB: If they're not doing anything Wrong, and if they're operating within the law, it seems they would have nothing to Hide from the public in the First place. After all, it's the 'Public' that buys their products. Shouldn't the Public have the right to know how their 'product' is 'produced', and under what conditions?
BJ: They all Are within the law. They have Nothing to hide.
BB: I guess you've seen some of the incredible undercover videos of some of these businesses? Are the actions depicted in those videos what you would consider 'with-in the law'? And how would Anyone Ever know what actually often occurs if not for the evidence shown in the videos, and for someone to step foreward to disclose those actions? Isn't this Now sorta like 'outta sight-Outta-mind'. Like that tree that falls in the forest does it make a sound if no one's around to 'hear' it?
BJ: Those 'videos' were done illegally, and can't be used as evidence. If a producer finds out that an employee breaks the law they'll be fired. If a snooper now takes a videos 'undercover', he gets sued, it's that simple. The industry will police ThemSelves and they will clean up their act. But we gotta keep these snoopers out.
BB: So, it sounds like the "snoopers" cause the problems by videoing the things they see going on...and Now without the "snoopers' being Able to video these violations, those violations will cease to happen???
BJ: Exactly.
BB: Hmmm....goes right back to the 'tree in the forest' thing. And, If no one can See evil, or Hear evil, they certainly cannot Speak of the evil.
BJ: (kicking at a pile of turkey poo, scratching his head, no comment)
BB: Well, now lets imagine that a bonified Employee of one of these Animal Producers actually Wittnesses a violation of law. Who does he tell about it?
BJ: He tells the management about it, not some stupid newspaper.
BB: Would it be wise for that incredibly Brave, or just as dumb, employee to already have another Job lined up? Do you think he would still be employeed there after that little stunt, And not be Blackballed from any Other industry afterwards?
BJ: (silence....more silence...looking around...)
BB: Hmmm...I think I just heard a 'Tree fall'.
BJ: What...I didn't hear a thing.
BB: Senator, I believe you. Now, as I understand it, your Ag-Gag Bill also covers businesses that actually have little or No connection to the Agriculture Industry, such as Nursing Homes for the Elderly, Automobile Repair Shops, Bakeries, Hotels, and, well, just about every business that has Nothing to Do with the Ag Industry, even Grocery Stores. How did That happen?
BJ: The way I see it, Every business has the right to operate unmolested by snooping reporters or undercover snitches or whistleblowers. My Bill protects them.
BB: Some might 'say' that you have broadened your Voter base with this what seems like a personal crusade on your part, not to mention a Vested interest. What would you say to those people?
BJ: Mind your Own business.
BB: Wouldn't you 'think' that the public would want to Know what goes on in, say, a Nursing Home, which as you Know is rife with unsavorey practices? With your Ag-Gag bill, how will we know about abuses with-in that Industry when their Employees who are already being paid a minimum or less wage, are afraid to speak up if they witness violations?
BJ: I would say to them, don't be afraid, speak up, complain to the management, They will correct the 'problem'. These places will be better able to police themselves without having to worry about whistleblowers running to the news media and making the business look bad.
BB: So, you're not concerned that the "management" in that case would simply see the concerned Employee as their "problem", and so just get rid of the employee, and "problem" solved. I think we're back to the 'See no Evil, Hear no evil' thing. What protects the concerned employee here?
BJ: The management will protect the employee and correct the problems himself.
BB: Ahhhh....don't look Now, but there's a 'Fox in your Henhouse' Senator. Have you Always had this seemingly Disconnect with Reality? Do you Really have more concern about the 'Industry', yet little or None about the Employee, who without, the 'Industry' would be for naught?
BJ: I care about Everyone, Every Voter, that's my Job. If I 'protect' the Industry, That 'protects' the employee in turn. It's very simple. Even I understand it.
BB: Allllright then. It looks like your snappy little Ag-Gag Bill is being challenged by a lot of groups that feel this Bill is overbroad, far reaching, and not a little arbitrary. What do you say to those groups?
BJ: They're a bunch of crybaby, bleeding heart animal rights fanatics! They don't stand a chance against Me. I have more Power in the Senate that God himself. I didn't work my way into being in charge of all these Agricultural Commities for Nothing you know. These whiney groups will get Nowhere, go Nowhere, and will look stupid in the end. The North Carolina Senate 'works' for Me, they know that without Me, They would not be where they are today. I AM the Senate, they don't 'vote' on, or even Think about, Anything that concerns Agreculture in This State, unless they talk to Me first. Look, I gotta go now, I'm up to my butt in poop.
BB: Yep, I'd have to agree with you on That one Senator, the 'poop' Is getting pretty Deep in here. Thank you for the 'enlightenment', and you might want to look into that little 'Conflict Of Interest' thing.
And so it goes. We have waded deep into the poop world of this fine selfless Senator, who's Only concern is Not for himself or his Own mega Ag Business, but the safety and welfare of his happy voters...er..
