“Everybody Milks A Body Sometime”
Pretty much every human on Earth is responsible for milking a cow at some point. That is, if she/he eats any dairy-based cheese or ice cream or yogurt, or of course the milk from mother cows — who only have milk to give only because they have recently given birth to their baby cow (aka, calf).
But most people don’t know the whole process: that the mother cow’s calf is taken away with 48 hours, so we humans can take the mother’s milk — all of it. Her baby gets none. And then this process repeats. (Mom impregnated again, her calf taken away again.) And again. And again. And then when the mother cow is worn out, usually after 4-6 pregnancies, she is sent off to slaughter, for dog food or other lower grades of “meat.” (Other breeds of cows are bred especially for their flesh, aka, “beef”).
And because the baby boys don’t produce milk, they are either killed immediately (if they’re lucky) or, worse, become “veal” calves who are confined in small crates, and then killed as children.
So pretty much every human body is responsible for milking, or eating, a cow’s body sometime.

“The Dairy Man”
Who doesn’t love America’s hardworking, wholesome dairy farmers?
Who doesn’t love those cute dairy cows dotting the landscape — and those adorable calves? And who doesn’t love the taste of delicious, nutritious, Vitamin A-fortified, protein-rich whole milk…and cheese and cream and ice cream and yogurt and cottage cheese and… well, all of it!YUM!
So here’s a song in honor of the American milk-producing men, women and their children who often inherit their multi-generational family business. They keep this historic food-producing tradition going, even as those crazy vegans try to get us to replace dairy milk and dairy products with foods made from grains and nuts and seeds and stuff:

“This Land Is My Land”
Cattle ranchers have it better in America than you know. But many publicly plead poverty today and complain about corporate consolidation — admittedly a thing — but never admit they already receive huge federal subsidies, plus oftentimes state and county monies too.
You’ll also constantly hear many drawing a distinction between large “factory farms” and smaller, “local, hard-working stewards of the land” who still have over 1,000 beef or dairy cows. But all cow farms have a massive detrimental impact on the land, pollute waterways and the ocean (which waterways drain into) with manure, and belch methane into the atmosphere.
This Land Is My Land, This Land Is My Land touches on just some of these offenses, but especially their entitlement; “historic” claims made on America’s first bounty — land stolen from native peoples who are the real “historic” denizens of this country. READ MORE.

“(We Are Living In An) Imperial World”
For decades the United States would at least claim, and offer up the pretext, that we’re “making the world safe for democracy” when waging overseas wars and installing new “leadership” (aka, authoritarian regimes) and rulers (aka, dictators) that/who would play ball with us (i.e., capital and markets for U.S. goods and services and extraction of their natural and labor resources).
Finally, thank Old Testament God, Donald and his Administration have dropped this old facade and cut to the chase: bombing and invading just to expand U.S. power, markets, oil, resources and control — using military might even though it ain’t right. And kills millions of people.
Even Wikipedia calls this state-sanctioned behavior imperialism.
Here’s a fun song about it!

MUSIC VIDEO: “I Jack Them Off!”
The world’s first music video about Bovine Electro-ejaculation!
Small, family-owned, certified-organic dairy farms treat their cows with great care – – in every imaginable orifice!
Indeed, some pretty creepy stuff was going down on oold McDonald’s farm! He was lovin’ up his Holstein and Jersey cows in ways you never imagined and will be, uh, surprised to learn about! Not to worry, registered veterinarians oversee the bovine electro-ejaculation that’s happenin’ down on the farm.
From small farms to giant feedlots, is where the original A.I. — artificial insemination — is going down. Dairy farmers and beef ranchers, or their hired, licensed veterinarians, insert their expert hands into cows posteriors — up to the elbow — where the sun don’t shine!
This original song is a fun way for you boner up on these standard dairy farm & beef ranch practices. These are intentionally hidden from public view because you know… ew!
Because behind the fun, funny cartoon billboards, or dreamy, romantic ads about ranchers “stewarding the land,” complete with rustic, split-rail fences, red barn, and Ben & Jerry’s black & white cows, there’s some nasty sh*t goin’ down on the farm!
So sit back, relax your sphincter, and sing along to this all-natural, hand-crafted, artisanal music video about where your local, organic, milk, cheese, butter, ice cream, yogurt and other dairy products really cum from!
Bon Appeteat!

Maria von Trapp sings to the children (and us) about what’s driving 21st century U.S. deforestation!
“Go Cut Trees”
So-called “foresters” — whose job in reality is actually de-foresting — and government agencies have fallen in line with privately-owned, for-profit timber, “bio-mass” and “management” companies, all of whom benefit from selling so-called “active management” of wild forests to the public.
They do this by scaring the von Trapp out of us all about wildfire, then insist that the solution to the fire danger problem is “thinning” and “managing” forests — meaning deforestation — instead of properly protecting houses with home “hardening” and creating Defensible Space right next to houses, which are the only “treatments” proven effective.
• “Thinned” forests ignite and burn faster than wild forests. READ WHY.
• READ HOW to best protect your home from wildfire: https://treespiritproject.com/firewise/
• READ MORE about one specific deforestation project, in Marin County, CA, at Tomales Bay State Park forest. This industrial assault features chainsaws, masticators and herbicides and slash pile burning as some of planned “treatments” for this wild, fog-shrouded coastal forest. Cal Parks and Cal Fire describe felling hundreds of trees and thousands of smaller plants as “thinning.” READ MORE.

The inimitable Mary Poppins herself sings about the animals we humans eat, in…
“Super-callous-dead-and-bloody-brutal-mass-psychosis”
We silly Homo sapiens kill over 70 billion land animals every year just to eat ’em — but rarely even think about it. The practice is so deeply imbedded in world cultures, and in our subconscious minds, we don’t acknowledge the unimaginable suffering we are inflicting on so mind-bogglingly many innocent creatures — mainly cows, pigs, chickens, and sheep. (We also kill additional trillions of “Chickens of the Sea,” fish, but that’s a future story.)
Paradoxically, most people get angry and triggered if they see someone kick a dog. But cultural conditioning draws invisible lines between how we can treat some animals kindly, and others horrifically. We treat cows, pigs, and chicken as unfeeling things in order to eat them, and often keep the killing out of sight, behind slaughterhouse walls.
And of course the giant, for-profit dairy & beef industries, and their P.R. firms and ad agencies lie – – sorry, “advertise” – – an alternate, fictional, rosy reality which we lap up, along with the sausage & double-cheese pizza.
All this deserves a wholesome song — by Mary Poppins — spit-spot! Enjoy! And bon appetit!

“Sad World” (of dairy cows)
An animated video of the sad world of dairy cows in modern America. Taking babies from their Moms. Hidden, quiet suffering on a mind-boggling scale. Diary milk does NOT do these bovine bodies any good. On the contrary dairy products (including cheese, ice cream, yogurt, cottage cheese) are today an industry so brutal and depressing, an advertising and public relations veil has been created and promulgated to hide the truth.
Paradoxically, most people get angry and triggered if they see someone kick a dog. Once again, cultural conditioning makes arbitrary distinctions between how we treat, for example, the dogs we live with, and the cows we confine to concrete stalls behind opaque walls.
We treat cows, pigs, and chicken as unfeeling things in order to eat them, and often keep their mass-slaughter out of sight, lest we recoil at the brutality baked into the human foods we make from cow’s mother’s milk (and deny to her own babies).
And yes, all this goes for “small,” “local,” “organic,” and “regenerative” dairy farms too.

Mary Poppins is back, singing about the industrial poison drop planned for a National Marine Sanctuary off the coast of San Francisco, with more than…
“A Spoonful of Poison”
The Farallon Islands, in the Pacific Ocean, 28 miles off the San Francisco coast, is a designated National Marine Sanctuary, and a haven for marine mammals including sea lions, seals, blue whales and grey whales.
This wild marine habitat is just off the continental shelf where upwellings attract myriad marine mammals, fishes and birds to feed. It is under imminent chemical industry threat — by humans with, naturally, a profit-driven plan to assault wild nature. Chemical contractors would bombard the Southeast Farallon Island with a massive amount of toxic rat poison.
Brodifacoum-laced bait pellets, dropped from helicopters. The contractors hired to deliver this poisonous payload are out to completely eradicate an entire population of thousands of mice — who have been living on the island for over 150 years. The mice were likely introduced by sailors in the mid-1800s.

“Point Reyes Seashore Has Some Cows”
…and thousands more cows than you think. Point Reyes National Seashore in fact has about 4,500 privately owned cows spread over about 28,000 acres — and all public land in this national park unit just 20 miles north of San Francisco, CA, is fenced off to the public. Contrast this conflagration of for-profit domesticated cows with just over 700 wild Tule elk, half of which are still trapped inside a fenced compound called, ironically, the Tule Elk Reserve.

The profit-driven cattle operations are also heavily subsidized by your, public, taxpayer dollars. Bet you didn’t know that. These beef and dairy operations rent the public land for, uh, a song; 1/2 or 1/4 its market value. No wonder ranchers don’t wanna leave the park — despite having been paid millions more public dollars to do so and then reneging on that deal — the park and give up their fat public subsidies. handouts they get — (Instead, they play their oh-pity-poor-us public relations violins.)
Ah, the romance of the hard-working local farmer who’s just trying to make a living as an honest “steward” of the land… which is a fable as full of manure as their pastures are. The romantic, nostalgic fantasy of the small, hardworking farmer run as deep in American culture as our cowboy mythologies (which help sell millions of addictive, Marlboro Man-ly cancer sticks worldwide).
In reality, the parks’ cattle ranches are its #1 source of pollution, including land degradation (by trampling and desiccation), soil pollution (via excessive cow manure), fresh water pollution (via excessive cow manure), and Pacific ocean pollution (via excessive cow manure run-off). The park’s cows also emit more greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) than the park’s annual 1.5-ish million visitor vehicle’s tailpipe emissions (CO2)! Because cows emit soooo much methane (MH4), which traps almost 30x more heat in the atmosphere than CO2 does.

I know Some Men Out to Kill Mice
The Farallon Islands National Marine Sanctuary, 28 miles off the coast of San Francisco, Califorinia, is a haven teeming with marine life. It faces an imminent chemical attack — by humans with a profit-driven plan to bombard the Southeast Farallon Island with a massive amount of toxic Brodifacoum, a 2nd generation, anti-coagulant, rat poison, in the form of cereal bait pellets. Tens of thousands of the poison pellets will be dropped from helicopters onto this Pacific island.
The contractors hired to deliver this poisonous payload want to attempt to completely eradicate an entire population of thousands of mice — who have been living on the island for over 150 years. (The mice were likely introduced by sailors in the mid-1800s.) What could possibly go wrong?
For one, even the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, which has yet to grant permits for the poison bombardment, acknowledges that over 1,000 western gulls will be poisoned and killed as what the “restoration” industry calls bi-kill.
