Welcome to my blog where fraud, lies and corruption are uncovered wherever they hide. Government, non-profits, media and corporations have many secrets and this is where they are exposed. This is where people go for the truth. There is a real need for more watchdog groups. Check out the Resources & Links page for links to find your federal reps, government agencies and other websites packed with important information. The About page has links to some of the testimony and interviews I've given over the years. It's not all bad news I do highlight people and organizations that genuinely contribute to the greater good and deserve recognition.

And just like that wild horse death toll stops, as BLM continues false claims about Canon City
By Staci-lee Sherwood A more apropos title for this piece might be the lying liars and the lies they tell. On June 15, 2022 the Bureau of Land MISmanagment (BLM) hosted what is best described as a state sponsored propaganda zoom event. Elijah Waters, Steve Hill and Alan Bitter were too cowardly to answer any real questions while Stephanie Connolly played the weak leader. No one was surprised when they preferred their pre scripted excuses and softball platitudes to the trut

Climate IS a homeland security issue for every country
By Staci-lee Sherwood In 2008 the US House of Representatives held a joint hearing for the SELECT COMMITTEE ON ENERGY INDEPENDENCE AND GLOBAL WARMING and the SUBCOMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE, COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT, PERMANENT SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE on the national security implications of climate change. Despite statements about how burning fossil fuels were a driving force of many environmental problems we are now in 2022 and as addicted to oil as ever. https://www.govin

Are you REALLY getting factual news or just words on paper?
By Staci-lee Sherwood The word newspaper implies there is timely news printed on the paper that you buy. Who determines what is newsworthy has always been subjective but never more than today. Part of the problem is massive consolidation of newspapers, and magazines, under one umbrella corporation. Another problem is the internet where anyone can set up a site proclaiming ‘news’. Arguably the amount of fake news might have eclipsed real news. Despite an easier ability to f

Crowds, condos and trash take their toll on beach nesting shorebirds
By Staci-lee Sherwood Since the 1970s it’s estimated that shorebird populations have plummeted a whopping 70% in North America with some species hit harder. Adding to polluted water, loss of habitat and natural predation we have newer problems especially here in Florida. The problems facing shorebirds are global though some issues are more prevalent in certain areas. The one constant is that human encroachment is on the rise as shorebird populations are on the decline

It’s a watershed moment for ‘brother wolf’ and Native Americans
By Staci-lee Sherwood For centuries the wolf had a special place both in symbolism and reality for Native Americans. The iconic wolf played an integral part in their lives. Almost every creation story includes them. They were seen as protectors and ancestors, living beings Native Americans were destined to co-exist with. This balance lasted for thousands of years. This shared bond and respect thrived until North America had a new predator, settlers from England. European

Conservation done right: saving land from developers for much loved Bald Eagles
By Staci-lee Sherwood During the 1950s the expression urban sprawl started to make its way into mainstream conversations. It would many more years before the ill effects of urban sprawl would become apparent. The city of Pembroke Pines in Florida, once agriculture land with dairy farms, experienced their own population boom and with it came sprawl and a race to develop. This small city has a story to tell of how it’s trying to tackle a big global problem of overdevelopment.

Is the PZP cartel’s plan more driven by money or saving wild horses?
By Staci-lee Sherwood When a person hears the word ‘cartel’ they envision violent men armed with assault rifles selling contraband in dark alleys. The image of smiling housewives carrying rifles does not come to mind, nor does men in suits, fit the Hollywood image. Drug cartels thrive on fear, scare tactics and emotional triggers. Mix this with a healthy dose of ego and ignorance and you have the perfect cocktail to manipulate unsuspecting targets. For those who disagree an

Did wild horse ‘advocate’ groups sign letter to Biden giving BLM excuse for roundups?
By Staci-lee Sherwood Did they really not read or understand what they were signing? A letter sent to President Biden on May 23, 2021. This contains damaging language that should never be inserted in a letter about wild horse management. Perhaps this is why all the links to the letter are no longer accessible to the inquiring public. The letter has an amazing 1200 groups and individuals sign on so why has it been removed from public access? Marty Irby wrote the dreadful lett

Woodpeckers & Sapsuckers: nature’s amazing natural pest control
By Staci-lee Sherwood When people think of the most notable characteristic of woodpeckers it’s the hammering they do against trees, and sometimes against houses. Watching them one wonders how they manage to not get headaches from that fierce fast head banging. Another sign of woodpeckers are the telltale signs of holes and peeled bark on trees. Contrary to popular myth woodpeckers do not kill trees by making holes or nesting cavities. They have a symbiotic relationship with

The new emerging phenomenon of the eco refugee
By Staci-lee Sherwood Climate change, climate denial, global warming, global cooling. Call it what you want the planet is shouting at us. We have ignored the warning signs for decades but we can no longer ignore what is happening right now. What started out decades ago as muted warnings of the future have turned into blaring bull horns. Politicians waste time spinning whatever tales fit their agenda but we are out of time if we don’t want to go down with the sinking ship c

Yes America we do have WILD horses, but not likely for much longer
By Staci-lee Sherwood Growing up on the east coast I knew we had horses, lots and lots of horses. None of these were wild free roaming but they were everywhere. We had race horses, carriage horses, barn horses, show horses and the kind I and others learned to ride on. It wasn’t until the 1990’s when I traveled out west did I learn that we also had wild horses running free in the meadows and mountains. I spent several years traveling extensively through all the western wil

Wild horse crisis at Canon City Prison leaves many unanswered questions
By Staci-lee Sherwood The Canon City Prison Complex (CCP) in Colorado isn’t just a prison for human inmates, it’s often been called a prison for the wild horses held there. Every year thousands of wild horses are rounded up by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) despite the horses being granted legal protection under the law in 1971. The very act of the roundups violates more than the intent of the law, the roundups themselves violate many animal cruelty statues as well. If

White poison – pulling back the curtain on the dairy industry
By Staci-lee Sherwood Dairy may be white gold for the farmers but the images of happy cows grazing in meadows while providing healthy food is just a myth. It’s more like white poison when you factor in its ill health effect on humans, the cruelty to calves and the contamination to drinking water. Agriculture is #1 for water usage and with that comes unsafe drinking water filled with antibiotics, hormones, pesticides and bodily waste. A milking cow drinks between 30 – 50 gal

RACING TOWARD EXTINCTION - a poem dedicated to the real wild horse warriors & the endangered horses
RACING TOWARD EXTINCTION The icons of America are racing fast toward extinction a vicious web our wild ones are caught in Once a symbol of freedom out in the open country where the cowboys live and the eagles fly Wild horses and burros that served man for centuries will be all but a memory in the not so distant future Their freedom once captured the fantasies of millions who dreamed and dared to go west and find their way What should have been gratitude ends in a legacy of

The D.O.J. – Department of UNjustice
By Staci-lee Sherwood The Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced they’re siding with hunters and the state of Utah in the hopes of keeping endangered Grey Wolves off the Endangered Species List (ESA). Utah is the state of Mormons, a religion based on child brides and sister wives. The same state where the violent cowboys that the Bureau of Land Management hires to brutally round up wild horses and burros come from. Unlike Alaska, Idaho and Wisconsin wolves have not made

Trying to survive in a world made of plastic
By Staci-lee Sherwood The will to survive can help a species hang on against what seems like insurmountable odds. The battle against plastic cannot be won since it’s found in everything. From our food and water to clothing and medical devices, plastic touches nearly every aspect of our lives. This is also true for wildlife. Years ago it was a rare sight to see birds using plastic to make their nests. Trash on beaches and along the road typically was mostly paper and food

The wild Burros - the forgotten equine
By Staci-lee Sherwood Many people wonder what the difference is between a wild Burro and a Donkey. They are the same species. Their name differentiates them as either domesticated (donkey) or wild (burro) but they are both burros. A mule is the offspring of a female horse and a male donkey. All three have a long sordid history and relationship with people, most notably as a cheap form of transport. The wild burro was given full legal protection along with wild horses back i

Monarch Butterflies won’t be saved with stickers
By Staci-lee Sherwood How does a sticker on a butterfly save the species? In reality it doesn’t in fact very few tagged butterflies are ever recovered. If you’re into butterflies you’ve probably read how the monarch butterflies are in trouble. Their population has crashed from historically sustainable numbers and many fear they’re on the brink of extinction. As with any imperiled species there are many theories as to the cause and how best to prevent extinction. The progr

Junk food non profits: their empty promises fail to deliver
By Staci-lee Sherwood That empty feeling Have you ever had a taste for something like pizza or Chinese takeout? You fill up on what tastes and smells good and feel full. An hour later you feel hungry as if you hadn’t eaten at all. This is the junk food effect. Something that makes you feel satisfied until you realize you’ve filled up on empty calories with no nutritional value. Many politicians are like junk food. They give emotionally charged rousing speeches that make
