Colorado Bald
Eagle Decapitated
Urgent Update:

July 2, 2009: The mutilated bald eagle
described below, was apparently a legally acquired bird that was being used by an
American Indian during a ritual. For the full story on this matter, please
follow through with the Denver
Post. We thank everyone who brought this to our attention, and our
heartfelt thanks to the many members and business associates who contributed to
the reward pool.

BOULDER — A hiker discovered a beheaded
bald eagle wrapped in a red cloth last
weekend on the north slope of Boulder
County's Legion Park Hill, according to
a Sheriff's Office report made public
Thursday.
The eagle's claws and tail feathers
also were missing.
The carcass, found near Arapahoe Road
and Westview Drive, was taken by the
Division of Wildlife, which investigated
along with the Boulder County Sheriff's
Office.
There are no suspects.

$3, 200 Reward Offered

The Raptor Education Foundation offers a $1,000 reward.
Update: Several of our members and one
business have chipped in an additional $2,200 for a total of $3,200 reward for
information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the perp(s).
Please call with any information - 303-680-8500 or e-mail us at
raptor2@usaref.org.
Please be advised that this could be associated with the
black market use of eagle parts by various
American Indian
members. We have been appalled by this
live-animal sacrifice for religious uses
by Homo sapiens of any cultural or religious bent. There is no excuse for
this barbarism in a civilized society-well, unless of course, you are a
religious zealot hiding behind some ancient code. Gee, where have we heard
that before?
Below: Comments on Decapitation Story
Featured on
Channel 4 and
7 (Denver)
( A )
I am Oglala Lakota and a Sun
Dancer. Yes I use eagle feathers and eagle parts for dancing and ceremony.
To say this bird was killed for “religious” reasons and by an American
Indian for use in a religious ceremony is just as distasteful as the act
itself.
Yes the person could have been
American Indian and the head, tail feathers, and talons taken to be sold… if
the bird was taken for ceremonial reasons the feathers, and the wing bones
or the intact wings would also have been taken if it was to be used in
ceremony.
We get our feathers and eagle
parts from the federal government not by hunting. Hunting feathers is
absurd today. This is most likely some white wanabee playing medicine man
or wanting to make a buck and does not have access to the federal
repository.
In short you owe the traditional
American Indian people an apology. You have no more right to defame a
religious practice or a race of people without any facts what so ever.
Shame on you.
(name
withdrawn by request)
Response to A: The fact that you consider my
verbal comments shameful speaks to the different world you and I live in.
If my comments about killing eagles for religious reasons was as
"distasteful" as the act, then ask the eagle who had his head and feet
chopped off how "tasteful" that was? There is a legal way to acquire
eagle or other raptor parts for ceremonial use, as you write, however not
all American Indians follow the "white man's ways." There are still
live-eagle sacrifices taking place by a small group of Hopi's practicing
their religious "freedoms" at the expense of an eagle's life. They have
slaughtered
over 200
eagles in this manner. Read that link if you want something to be ashamed of
or follow the other link above concerning the story of an indigenous person
slaughtering 40 eagles in the Vancouver area so he could create religious "bling"
for native adherents or "white wannabees." Sure there are
wannabees, but I am not ashamed, whatsoever, in talking about the barbaric
rituals being justified as part of some religious ceremony sacrificing
beautiful living creatures for somebody's idea that this will connect them
to the "great spirit." It's similar to some from the Asiatic
tribes thinking they will acquire sexual virility by eating endangered tiger
penises. They want sexual virility and sacrifice beautiful animals to their
egos. What's the difference between that act and sacrificing eagles
for religious virility to satisfy those egos? Who should be
ashamed and who should apologize to the eagle?
Peter Reshetniak: Editor-More Coming...stay tuned.
"A"
Comments Again: It has become quite clear to me that you have
no wish to listen and have twisted my words to meet only your goals. I
do not approve of killing eagles, no where in my message did I say it
was right to do so. I was making the case that not all American Indians
believe that killing eagles is acceptable or encouraged. I had no
intention of supporting the religious slaughter of eagles to to point
out that your generalization is not only incorrect but harmful.
I also never gave you
permission to publish my message in any way, and there was no warning
before I sent it that you would make my words public.
Since you wish no true dialog
and have twisted my words please remove them.
Response
to A:
Thanks again for your comments. The
middle word (education) in our name describes the central part of
our mission. Public education benefits from a variety of exchanges
in a public forum. Our web site serves that purpose wherein the
readers can assess the veracity of facts and opinions presented.
Forceful presentation of those facts and opinions makes for
interesting reading, and may force readers to reevaluate their
perceptions and positions.
Your words are quoted
with complete accuracy, so we have no obligation to remove them. We
will, as a courtesy to you, remove the author’s name, as soon as our
webmaster is back at work this Monday. We did not solicit your
correspondence, and since it was volunteered in the context of
several public television news stories, and our web site story, you
are making a public response, and we think the public benefits from
your comments and views.
What you refer to as a
“true dialog” is never defined, and since we have quoted you
completely, your words are your own and not manipulated by us.
Maybe it is our response you are offended by? However, you never
warned us you might not wish to read a contrary opinion. It does
appear that you just want us to listen, and not respond. That is
not a definition of the word “dialog” that we are familiar with.
We are very pleased,
however, that you do not approve of killing eagles, and we never
stated that all American Indians believe in killing eagles. They do
not. I know many that support our position, and I have been
privileged to be a participant in sacred ceremonies honoring our
work for eagles and raptors in general. Some, however, as the
evidence shows, do kill them and use their religious beliefs as
justification for those killings. We find that act deplorable, and
will continue to present our opinions in a forceful manner anytime
we can. That’s the least we can do to protect and conserve these
magnificent creatures. We hope you would do the same.
Best regards,

Not only did Patrick and friends install a brand new 400 foot long fence
along our frontage road, his organizational skills managed the entire
project from starting at 08:00 hrs to cleanup and departure at 15:00hrs.
Wow! Let's also not forget, that Patrick's proposal and planning
document was the most comprehensive we have ever seen, and they threw in
a thorough cleanup of our entire nine acre site just because a few of
the scouts ran out of stuff to do.
Stay tuned as we feature a special slideshow in
tribute to this young man's efforts towards completing his Eagle Scout
requirements, as he secures the Raptor Education Foundation's new home
for its eagles, falcons, owls, and hawks. Oh, and our turkey
vulture and northern caracara, so we don't forget anyone.

Wearing Your Mood
on Your Face 
 |
April 28, 2009: Brighton, Colorado.
REF took official possession of one of America's most unusual raptors,
and one of its most beautiful. This Northern Caracara was acquired from
the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi. The bird suffered a
humeral fracture, which was repaired, but the results were not good
enough for the bird to be released. See
below for a complete introduction to this remarkable creature.
The mood of the Caracara is readily visible by
watching the cere (the fleshy red area) which can very rapidly shift
from a pale creamy color to bright orange-red.
Upon arrival at our Brighton facility, REF
officials renewed the bird's equipment, and were able to experience
first-hand, not only the color changes, but the dramatic vocalizations,
and the high degree of intelligence displayed by this raptor. Also
arriving via Frontier Airlines, was a male American Kestrel which brings
REF's collection total to 30 raptors. Both birds were placed into
isolation for a quarantine period before being introduced to the
main collection.
Note: The
bird you see on the Mexican coat of arms is the
golden eagle. This bird is known in Spanish as águila real
(literally, "royal eagle"). In 1960, the Mexican
ornithologist Rafael Martín del Campo identified the eagle in the
pre-Hispanic codex as the
northern caracara or "quebrantahuesos", a species common in Mexico
(although the name "eagle" is taxonomically incorrect, as the caracara
is in the
falcon family). Even so, the golden eagle is considered the Mexican
eagle for official purposes, and for the same reason is considered the
official bird of Mexico
|
 |
Our highly
demanding transportation requirements were superbly provided
by Frontier Airlines, a
" whole different animal." Overseeing our San Antonio
departure was Brett W.F. Bommer, Station Trainer
(pictured right), who as it turned out, had 7 years of
raptor experience working with the local raptor
rehabilitation facility (Last Chance Forever)
in San Antonio.
Mr. Bommer really
knew raptors and what it takes to safely move them using an
aircraft. Working with the great ground-crew preparing
to load our two kennels Brett made sure our transfer to
Denver went smoothly.
Many thanks to Brett, John
Shanks (San Antonio), and Roger Welch of Denver for
assisting us to move our two new birds into their Brighton
home with relative ease and excellent care.
Two days later, another one of
our birds was Seattle bound for a series of lectures there,
again using the excellent services of Frontier Airlines.

Industrial
Farming Takeover: HR 875, SR 425

The Obama Congress is busily intruding into all aspects of
your life, and your freedom to eat what you want, and to support local small
farms practicing the type of enlightened agriculture that does not create
massive industrial monocultures. Read this summary of what Obama and
his ilk are about to pull over your eyes, but only if you are interested in a
truly diverse and healthy ecosystem, which starts with truly diverse
poly-cultures. If you prefer a massive monoculture (in all things) then
the Obamanation is for you. For those of you with no science at all, basic
ecology stipulates: Monoculture Bad, Poly-culture Good.
The related package of “food safety” bills are
totalitarian. There are no two ways about it.
They allow government warrantless intrusion into and
extreme, detailed, surveilled control over every aspect of farmers’ land and
home, straight-jacketing them into a bureaucratic nightmare which precludes
their even functioning as farmers. And yet for real food safety and for food
security, it is exactly farmers we need.
We need the real food they produce and the farmland
they spare and protect from industrialization and the heritage animals and seeds
they raise and their knowledge about nature and animals, and we need the way of
life they represent. Free. How interesting that to have real and clean and
wholesome food, it requires that farmers have freedom.
These bills which claim to be about “food safety” but
are proven in the EU already to be about the destruction of farmers, are so
frighteningly broad, they allow the government to take over our lives, too. They
allow the government to use rules written by multinational corporations within
the WTO, to control whether we can garden or how, whether we chip our pets, even
what happens inside our homes in our kitchens.
These controls all all for mandating things that make
money for corporations just as we are all trying to get off the corporate grid
of power, fuel, food, … Now it is easy to appreciate people’ resistance to
mandated vaccines (and they keep adding more kinds).
There is point at which we must say stop. Our lives are
our own, our property is our own, our decisions on what to eat and how to heal
ourselves are our own. We must protect our own freedom and now it is apparent
how intimately tied it is those who have been providing for us for ever - our
farmers.
HR 875, SR 425, HR 814, HR 759 and all related bills
must be withdrawn immediately and then trashed.

Caracara Coming

 |
Acquisition steps have been initiated for the Northern Caracara
(previously named crested caracara) pictured to be transferred to our
new facility in Brighton. The bird is currently at the Texas
State Aquarium in Corpus Christi recovering from a humeral fracture,
and is non-releasable. This unusual looking raptor is relatively easy to
find scavenging along roadways in the border regions of America and
Mexico. Heading further south into the Americas five genera have been
identified...see below.
The individual shown has not yet achieved adult
plumage.
Caracaras are
birds of prey in the family Falconidae. They are principally birds
of
South and
Central America, just reaching the southern
USA.
Unlike the Falco falcons in the same family, the
birds in
the five relevant genera are not fast-flying aerial hunters, but are
comparably sluggish and often scavengers (a notable exception being the
Red-throated Caracara).
The species are:
-
Black Caracara, Daptrius ater
-
Red-throated Caracara, Ibycter americanus - formerly in
Daptrius
-
Carunculated Caracara, Phalcoboenus carunculatus
-
Mountain Caracara, Phalcoboenus megalopterus
-
White-throated Caracara, Phalcoboenus albogularis
-
Striated Caracara, Phalcoboenus australis
-
Northern (or Crested) Caracara, Caracara cheriway
-
Southern Caracara, Caracara plancus
-
Guadalupe Caracara, Caracara lutosa (extinct)
-
Yellow-headed Caracara, Milvago chimachima
-
Chimango Caracara, Milvago chimango
The Mexican
ornithologist Rafael Martín del Campo proposed that the Northern
Caracara was probably the sacred "eagle" depicted in several
pre-Columbian
Aztec codices as well as the

Trophy Hunting
Consequences

From commercial fishing which takes large fish and lets
small ones pass, to hunters who target large trophy size animals over smaller
ones, human predation is shown to be one of the strongest influences on genetic
traits being passed to future generations. Those traits are not the
typical ones of size, strength, speed, and other traits which insure survival.
They are exactly the opposite, and the resulting genetic disaster is already
appearing in numerous species. Just

2009: Read Again
From Henry Beston
A New Year's resolution could not be any better if it
would simply serve to remind Homo sapiens of their own limits.
To that end, one of our favorite authors wrote in The Outermost House:
"We
need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote
from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization
surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a
feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their
incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below
ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be
measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished
and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never
attained, living by voices we shall never hear.
They are not brethren, they are not
underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and
time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth."
Working with raptors for the
past 29 years, many of us at REF have learned to acknowledge some small part of
the quote above, and we are pleased to have the opportunity to remind other
humans of this unconventional perspective about their momentary presence in this
vast spinning, dancing, waving and pulsing universe. If unfamiliar with
Beston, we urge you to make
yourself acquainted with his perspectives. You will benefit
yourself and all around you. Happy New Year!
And in the same vein about
who we as humans are, science is rapidly seeing us in an entirely new light. "If
you have gone through life blithely thinking of yourself as a "human being",
then 2009 will bring the shocking news that it is time to think again. You
are a "human-microbe hybrid" or "super-organism", dependent on a vast number of
microbes that live in your body, do vital jobs for you, and both influence and
provide unique indicators of your health....Their numbers are staggering: 100
trillion microbes live in the average human." * And only about 10 trillion cells
are human, so Beston's quote above takes on another entirely more personal
meaning. 2009 will be the year of the hybrid in more ways than Toyota can
deliver.

Sea Ice Returns
--Ooops! 
Well, well, well. Eco-Imam, Aglore Ayatoldyah and

Strategic
Defecation 
A recent study of Eurasian Eagle Owls has noted some
rather remarkable breeding strategies in these large and powerful predators.
Researchers believe field evidence shows that these owls mark dark rocks or
other objects with their fecal discharges (white washing a rock for instance) as
a way to visually mark their breeding territory. Additionally, they also
appear to deposit brightly colored feathers from some of their prey species as
flags to alert competitors. Once thought to communicate territorial
boundaries only through vocalizations (hooting), this new evidence expands human
thinking about another animal. Just

Yes, We Are
Moving


Enjoying a beautiful sunset from his new
Brighton home, our male golden watches his "bald" roomies below.

Our 27 year old golden eagle has her first
meal at her new quarters in Brighton. As of December 3, all of our eagles
were in our new facility.
December 3, 2008:
Since we first reported below, several months have elapsed, and the
permit/construction/inspection process along with the slow-down owing to the
economic climate extended all of our projections. However, as you can see
from the picture above, we have now begun the process of moving our entire
collection. Since last week, all of our raptors requiring protection from
inclement weather (10) have been moved into the temperature controlled barn.
Our two golden eagles and two bald eagles are now also ensconced into their very
modern quarters. The bald eagles were the least comfortable with the move,
while the female golden (above) dined on rabbit within a few hours. The
male golden (below) was also unsure of the new facility, despite the fact that
we brought over one of his favorite hood-perches to the new home (this is like a
favorite blanket for a child). As with any creature of habit, major
changes have to be done carefully. At each step, one of our staff spends
the night to make sure help is close at hand if needed. Our new facility
has been named: Eagle World International, Eagle's Landing: Design &
Development Center. This reflects our main mission and goals described
below.
July 15, 2008: After 25 years in our current
location at the Plains Conservation Center in Aurora, we are moving to
our new location in Brighton. During the next 15 days our administrative
offices will be moved and installed into our new location on the southern end of
THF Realty's Prairie Center Development in Brighton. This will be our
interim home for about two years as we begin the development process of
Eagle's Landing and Eagle World International. Our
interim home will have us located in an existing building to be used for our
offices, and a newly constructed mews will house our raptors in a facility
designed to be recycled into the new location about 900 yards west of this
interim site. Our office will operate as normally as possible as the move
takes place. We might have to take a little longer than normal to respond
to your calls, however, we will get back to you within two business days.
Internet communications will be handled remotely without any interruptions. Our
contact numbers are found here.
We are very grateful to everyone who has so generously
contributed to enable us to take this next major step into a larger and more
productive future. THF Realty's Jim Lewis has championed
this move for over two years, he's definitely taken raptors, and especially eagles to heart. The City of Brighton, Brighton
City Council Members, and Brighton residents have been very supportive in
helping us make their city our new home, and making Brighton the future City
of Eagles. Last but not least, our sincere appreciation is given to
Michael Staenberg, and E. Stanley Kroenke, who founded THF Realty
back in 1991 and have made sure their projects are thoroughly integrated into
the communities where their developments grow. At Prairie Center, the
eagles of the world will be in notable company.
As our project spreads its wings and takes flight, we will be
asking you for support in any small or large way you can afford. Our
members and sponsors have been the reason we have been so successful and are now
taking our next big step. Thank You. And many thanks for the
generous help of Brinkmann Constructors' Matt Barrows, and Ian
Silberman of THF Realty. They and their staffs have joined our 28
year quest to create the world's first complete collection of eagles from all
over the globe. This is a real green team! By the way, its easy to
find Prairie Center, just look for an eagle with its wings spread...they're
everywhere.
We will document everything for our YouTube audience and

Clair Patterson:
Got the Lead Out
A
Real Green Hero: History
Before 1923 there was
almost no lead in our atmosphere. But due to the inventiveness of one Thomas
Midgley, Jr. and the productive prowess of the Ethyl Gasoline Corporation formed
by General Motors, Du Pont, and Standard Oil, lead based gasoline was soon
pouring out of automotive tailpipes into our atmosphere. The production of
tetraethyl lead was also pouring enormous profits into their coffers, while it
prevented engines from pinging.
Despite the fact that
you could become “mad as a hatter” from too much lead exposure, and the fact
that many workers at the Ethyl Corporation were dying or going mad, Mr. Midgley
insisted the stuff was completely safe. Where have we heard that before? Ethyl
Corporation was powerful, with Directors like Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell
and Gilbert Grosvenor of the National Geographic Society, so
who was going to
listen to an unknown scientists claiming lead in gasoline was deadly?
Nobody would listen. As
Mr. Patterson became a liability to the big bucks pouring into Ethyl
Corporation, all manner of strange things began to happen to him. The American
Petroleum Institute canceled a research contract with him, as did the United
States Public Health Service. Ethyl Corporation executives allegedly offered to
endow a chair at Caltech “if Patterson was sent packing.” In 1971 the National
Research Council excluded Patterson from a panel meeting to investigate the
dangers of atmospheric lead poisoning even though he was unquestionably the
leading expert on atmospheric lead.
But Mr. Patterson never
wavered in his quest, and eventually his efforts led to the introduction of the
Clean Air Act of 1970 and finally to the removal from sale of all leaded
gasoline in the United States in 1986. Atmospheric lead levels almost dropped
immediately, but it was still being used lots of other places, including food
containers until 1993.
The Ethyl Corporation is
still going strong although now owned by Albemarle Paper, and as late as
February 2001 Ethyl Corporation continued to contend “that research has failed
to show that leaded gasoline poses a threat to human health or the
environment.” Oh, by the way, Mr. Midgley then topped of his tetraethyl lead
invention with a much better chemical compound: chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s).
Certainly another wonderful contribution to better living through
chemistry.
Clair Patterson died in
1995. His principal contribution to science was that he determined the age of
the earth, but he received no awards for that, and none for keeping humanity
safe from the dreadful effects of lead poisoning. So we at REF think his life
merits Green recognition, and we think you will agree.
Final Watch:
Farewell, Col Robert Mock

July 25, 2008. REF was honored to
participate in funeral services for Col Robert K. Mock, USAF (Ret),
who passed away June 15, 2008. The rank of Colonel is signified by
an eagle, and our male golden eagle was asked to be part of the
honor guard at Ft. Logan National Cemetery. Col Mock was interred
with full military honors, including a twenty-one gun salute and a
flyover by the 140th Fighter Wing F-16s at Buckley AFB. An avid
pilot, professor, educator and mentor to hundreds of
students, Robert Mock spent 21 years as a professor at Metropolitan
State College of Denver after retiring from the Air Force. As
director of the Aviation and Aerospace Science Department, he
brought the program to new heights, creating the World Indoor
Airport, a state-of-the art flight simulator laboratory that
provides students with the finest in flight education.
|
Col Mock retired from the Air Force in
1987, where he had been head of the ROTC Detachment 105 at the
University of Colorado-Boulder. He himself began his flying career
in 1957 as an ROTC graduate, first serving as a weather forecaster
and then flying the F/RF-4 and the F-102. In 1972 he was shot down
over Northern Laos, ejected and impacted the ground still strapped
in his ejection seat. He managed to evade the enemy until picked up
by Air America operatives deep in the jungle. Later, he negotiated
the military defense treaty between the US and the Philippines,
earning the Philippine Legion of Honor. He earned numerous awards
and medals throughout his military career, including the Legion of
Merit, Distinguished Flying Cross with one Oak Leaf Cluster, Bronze
Star and Purple Heart.
Beyond being a fighter pilot and
military officer, Bob Mock loved to teach. He inspired hundreds to
students to enter the aerospace and aviation fields, both military
and civilian. Even grade-school children received quick lessons in
aerodynamics from Bob, via his demonstration of flight by sending a
piece of hard candy shooting out of the mouth of a rubber chicken.
In the words of one of his colleagues, he was a "servant leader"
whose greatest joy in life was helping and encouraging others to
succeed. Unofficially known as "Mr. Metro State" a scholarship fund
has been established in his honor. For more on Col Robert Mock:

In

Who? What? Good science is built on credible data and can begin to
predict patterns based on data evaluated by the mind of a perceptive
scientist. Well, Mr. K.
Abdusamatov, Russian astronomer, has been
collecting good data for years and he predicted that 3
years from 2005 the sun would reach one of its peak activity cycles and solar
radiation gain on earth would begin to decrease. Basically, the
temperature would begin to decline towards a cold period. Canadian
scientists along with others are seeing more and more data confirming exactly
that trend. We may in fact, be heading for the Maunder Minimum, a
period of very cold weather that lasted about a century. Carbon dioxide has no
relationship to these cycles, and neither do the hysteric predictions of
hucksters like Imam Algore Ayatoldyah. Maybe Algore and his ilk should pay

coming from white cows. Wow, the theory of everything. Just
click... Could this be the beginning of
global cooling as
predicted by Russian scientists just a few years ago?
"Even if the concentration of
'greenhouse gases' double man would not perceive the temperature impact," said
Russian scientist Oleg Sorochtin, of the Institute of Oceanology at the Russian
Academy of Sciences. He's authored more than 300 studies, nine books and a 2006
paper titled, "The Evolution and the Prediction of Global Climate Changes on
Earth."

Public Servant
James Inhofe Tips Eco Imam, Algore Ayatoldya, Over

Senator, Public Servant James Inhofe of the U.S. Senate
Committee on Environment & Public Works established his credentials as a
respectable member of Congress by entering into our public record current and
factual information concerning allegations of anthropogenic global warming.
If you are a knee-jerk acolyte of Algore Ayatoldya, you will not want to read
this, but if you suspect Algore and his ilk of running one of the biggest scams
in recent history, then Inhofe's 2 hour speech will get your immune system
inoculated against the viral hysteria permeating the public psyche. If you have
sympathies for the environment, then you must have similar sympathies for the
scientific method, and the application of common sense. Spend some time
and read this speech. Here you have a public servant doing service for the
public good. Just

New Documentary
Exposes Lies Promoted by Algore Ayatoldya
03/05/07-It will not win awards from Hollywood or Bollywood, but
this new video shows that the evidence behind the claim that global
warming is man-made is simply bad science: BS. That nonsense, so skillfully promoted by a rich
hypocrite
like Algore, only shows how susceptible the public can be to slick advertising
propaganda, and a consensus fostered by government funded research dollars, not
evidence. The information (evidence) in this new
documentary has been available for
some time, but only in the written form of books and peer reviewed journals. Now
all of it has been put together to counter Aglore's nonsense in a format, which
even he might be able to comprehend. For more on this extensive peer promoted scam,
Just
click. A top French scientist recants his support for
the global warming BS and agrees with the evidence, just
click... And now they also threaten to kill those who are skeptical of
Algore's one true religion- just
