Hi there, Dave Louthan here.

See I told ya we'd get it figured out. J. Patrick Boyle CEO of AMI is slapping Ann Veneman around like a rag doll. Get the Canadian border open and do it now. He says he wants to do it to spur all foreign countries into buying our meat but the fact is he's got a lot of beef standing up there eating hay and getting to fat to sell.

I told everybody the meat people only had until calving season to get this fixed. That time is now upon us. All that inventory they have been holding back to keep the prices up must move now to make room for all the new feeders popping out now, today.

[editor's note, by scoop] Dave Louthan is the slaughterhouse worker turned activist who killed the first cow in the U.S. found to have mad cow disease (BSE). Be sure to listen to his radio interview.

At a press conference at AMI Friday John Stewart CEO of Creekstone Farms said he will test all his beef whether the USDA approves or not. J.Patrick said no your not. John Stewart said we'd have to agree to disagree. J.Patrick said we'd have a private meeting when the reporters go home.

It's all on the Meeting Place web site. Check it out. Here's the deal. J. Patrick demands Ann Veneman declare Canada a low risk country even though they have had a couple of mad cows already. She will do that. All those cows will start coming down here in droves.

J. Patrick will demand the U.S. Gov't start punishing all the countries that refuse our meat with trade embargoes, high tariffs and withholding of foreign aid. Mexico and some of the smaller countries will cave in to pressure. Japan and South Korea will not.

There will be a huge surplus of fat cattle waiting to be slaughtered. Prices will continue to plummet. All the smaller feedlots will go under right away. They will demand subsidies. The American taxpayer, you, will pick that up. The Gov't is already broke. George W. spent all the money beating up Saddam. Higher taxes will be necessary.

In the mean time we have a whole bunch of diseased cattle the powers that be don't want to do any thing about. They just want to play tycoon. You're not going to get sick for a while so unlike lysteria, E-coli, and salmonella they can simply push it under the rug in the name of Profit.

If this were a disease you got today and died tomorrow it would be a whole different ball game. As long as Joe Average is getting his bills paid on time and watching the evening news which is completely devoid of any Mad Cow reports he'll be content to sit there munching on contaminated beef and pretend that BSE is something that happens some where else. Besides it's perfectly safe and risk free the Gov't said so.

Time after time When all those poor smucks start getting sick and are laying in the hospital with tubes running out their noses, all of today's beef tycoons will be laying on private beaches in the South Pacific sucking down Marguerites and laughing about the time they tricked America into eating diseased meat and paying good money for the privilege.

My God why doesn't some body wake up the American people. NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, FOX where are you? This is your job. If you want to be the reporters of the news, stop worrying about your sponsors. Behave with Honor and start damn well reporting the news. Hello, there is a story here.

Thank you for your time
