Street View – août 2015
The Southern California Logistics Airport—also known as Victorville Airport—is known for storing retired airplanes, eventually to be used as scrap metal or parts. But following the 2015 news that Volkswagen was manufacturing cars that subverted emissions tests, the vast stretch of land adjacent to the airport became a boneyard for recalled vehicles.
à côté il y a le stockage des avions, pas mal non plus !

The Bizarre Story Behind the FBI’s Fake Documentary About the Bundy Family
▻https://theintercept.com/2017/05/16/the-bizarre-story-behind-the-fbis-fake-documentary-about-the-bundy-fam2017-05-16T16:00:22+00:00
Ryan Bundy seemed uneasy as he settled into a white leather chair in a private suite at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. As the eldest son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who had become a national figure for his armed standoff with U.S. government agents in April 2014, Ryan had quite a story to tell.
Eight months had passed since Cliven and hundreds of supporters, including heavily armed militia members, faced off against the federal government in a sandy wash under a highway overpass in the Mojave Desert. Now, here in the comforts of the Bellagio, six documentary filmmakers trained bright lights and high-definition cameras on Ryan. They wanted to ask about the standoff. Wearing a cowboy hat, Ryan fidgeted before the cameras. He had told this story before; that wasn’t the reason for his nerves. After all, the Bundy confrontation made national news after armed agents with the Bureau of Land Management seized the Bundy family’s cattle following a trespassing dispute and the accumulation of more than $1 million in unpaid grazing fees. But the Bundys, aided by their armed supporters, beat back the government, forcing agents to release the cattle and retreat.
Images of armed Bundy supporters with high-powered rifles taking on outgunned BLM agents circulated widely on social media. As a result, the Bundys became a household name, lionized by the right as champions of individual liberty and vilified by the left as anti-government extremists.
But something seemed off to Ryan about this interview in the Bellagio. While the family’s newfound fame had attracted fresh supporters to their cause, it had also inspired suspicion. With a federal investigation looming, who among these new faces could they really trust?
Among the more recent figures in the Bundy orbit was this mysterious documentary film crew. The director, Charles Johnson, was middle-aged, with a silver goatee, slicked-back hair, and a thick southern accent. His assistant, who identified herself as Anna, was tall and blond. A website for their company, Longbow Productions, listed an address in Nashville, Tennessee, but the Bundys could find no previous examples of their work.

A century of theft from Indians by the National Park Service - The Ecologist
▻http://www.theecologist.org/essays/2987382/a_century_of_theft_from_indians_by_the_national_park_service.htmlGeorge Catlin’s original vision of national parks saw them as providing a refuge for ’man and beast’ alike, writes Kollibri terre Sonnenblume, giving Indians a home in the ’freshness of their nature’s beauty’. But soon the National Parks Service was violating promises, treaties and contracts as it perpetrated over a century of land theft from America’s Indian tribes.
Un long texte qui commence ainsi :
In early February, I stopped in the men’s room at the Hole-in-the-Wall visitor center in Mojave National Preserve in southern California. Above the urinal was a framed history poster entitled, “Fort Mojave - Aha Mocave - And Then the White Man Came.”
I was instantly offended by its placement. After all, figuratively, what a man would be doing under this poster is exactly what European colonialism has been doing on Indians for centuries.

The Real Cost of a Hamburger » CounterPunch : Tells the Facts, Names the Names
▻http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/05/09/the-real-cost-of-a-hamburgerQuelques constats assez intéressants sur le coût écologique de l’élevage extensif de #montagne, dans les Rocheuses aux USA. Ou comment le caractère extensif et non industriel de l’#élevage n’est aucunement en soi une garantie qu’il soit soutenable.
The American West is a grand landscape. It is also an arid, rugged, and unproductive landscape. Aridity is important to ponder. The West’s public lands are dominated by North America’s four or five major desert regions – the Sonoran, Mojave, Chihuahuan, Great Basin, and some include the Colorado Plateau as a fifth. Deserts are defined as regions with minimum precipitation and high evaporation – in other words, they are characterized by siring heat, cloud-less cerulean skies, minimum precipitation, and sparse vegetation. Now add in the fact that moisture roughly correlates with forage production – the less wetness a region receives the more land it takes to support a single cow or sheep.
In the West, it takes a lot of land to raise one cow – and it takes even more of the public lands to provide enough forage to sustain a livestock operation. For instance, you can reasonably expect to raise a cow year round on a couple of acres of land in someplace wet and relatively flat, like Georgia, but in the arid and mountainous West you may need 200-300 acres to sustain a cow.
Unfortunately if you are removing enough forage to economically sustain a ranching business, you are not leaving enough to sustain the land’s native wildlife or ecological processes, nor to provide protection for the fragile soils and plant communities. And therein is the problem. It’s ecologically impossible to economically sustain a livestock operation in most of the West if you consider the full ecological costs – statements by livestock advocates to the contrary.
Some may ask how ranching has survived for multiple generations if it has been destroying the West? The answer is complex. First, ranching isn’t surviving – it has been in decline for decades. There are fewer ranchers today than any time since the West was first settled. The land simply can’t sustain as many livestock operations, in part because overall productivity of western landscapes has declined due to the long term degradation by livestock. And many of the ranchers that have remained in business have succeeded by taking on outside employment. The majority of small and medium size livestock operations today can more accurately be characterized as “hobby ranching” since the real income for most livestock operators comes from a job in town.
C’est aussi ce qu’il se passait autour de chez moi dans ce qu’était la paysannerie juqu’aux années 1970 (aujourd’hui la donne est faussée par l’industrialisation et les subventions, aujourd’hui si les éleveurs en chient c’est en plus par abandon public et concurrence déloyale) : un élevage très consommateur de ressources et de temps de travail paysan, peu rentable écologiquement et économiquement, et obligeant à bosser à l’extérieur pour compléter les revenus, au détriment de la santé, de la vie familiale et sociale.
En revanche je passe sur son discours libéral craignos dans les paragraphes suivants où il parle du coût pour la collectivité de maintenir des services public en zones de montagne peu peuplées. Peut-être que ça peut se justifier si les gros ranchers de là-bas sont comparables à nos céréaliers de la Beauce en terme d’usage de fonds publics, mais ça ne saurait se transposer à ce qui se passe ici dans les Pyrénées ou le Massif Central (voir entre autres ►http://seenthis.net/messages/263430 ).
Sa conclusion aussi me semble triste, avec encore le modèle de la #wilderness sous-entendant que l’humain ne saurait vivre dans des zones montagneuses, qui seraient entièrement dévolues à la faune sauvage.
Je trouve l’exemple d’Helen Atthowe ►http://seenthis.net/messages/261830 bien plus porteur en termes d’#écoumène montagnard (ça se passe dans le Montana à 1000m d’altitude), de vie en bonne entente avec les écosystèmes environnants et leurs ressources, et avec les animaux (sauvages) présents sur la ferme.-
En matière d’#élevage il faut sortir du dualisme extensif/intensif. Toute la thèse de l’Holistic management (et d’autres courants) c’est de dire que l’extensif c’est une mauvaise gestion du broutage, et que la dynamique des écosystèmes paturés inclue un broutage sous forme de pulsation (broutage fort, rapide, et espacé dans le temps).
Mais dans tous les cas je pense que les herbivores prennent de la place, et donc ils n’ont pas leur place partout. Près des zones habitées, les volailles et les porcs ont l’avantage de nécessiter moins d’espace et de se rapprocher du régime alimentaire humain car ils sont monogastriques et donc sont tout a fait pourvus pour absorber les déchets. je trouve que le cochon c’est l’exemple même de l’animal qui ne posait pas de soucis pour un gain maximal, contrairement aux vaches laitières, même si cette efficacité se faisait en partie au détriment du bien être de l’animal. Mais dans les zones moins peuplées, plus escarpées, les herbivores me semblent intéressants, et complémentaires aux forêts dans leurs productions (▻http://seenthis.net/messages/254739#message254751).

A Replica of Afghanistan in the Mojave
▻http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2013/09/a-replica-of-afghanistan-in-the-mojave/100593Afghanistan can be found just 120 miles northeast of Los Angeles, California — well, an approximation of Afghanistan at least. In the Mojave Desert, the U.S. Army’s National Training Center at Fort Irwin is home to several mock villages built to create realistic training environments for troops due to be deployed overseas.
U.S. soldiers from Fort Irwin take part as mock Afghan locals at a simulated Afghan Village on the National Training Center, on August 20, 2011. The soldiers were acting as street vendors while soldiers from the 1-14th Cavalry, 3-2 Stryker Brigade Combat Team, Fort Lewis, Washington, conducted a medical supplies drop-off and recruitment of Afghan police as training and preparation before deployment.
