NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?
While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.

Politicians like Liz Warren are at the root of the cancel culture that is destroying what has been the greatest nation the world has ever known.
How people can support the policies of this radical socialist/communist party is beyond comprehension.
John Kennedy’s Democratic Party is no longer. It has become the party of people the likes of Bill Aires and his socialist cohorts who seek to destroy our nation.
This plan has been a long time in the making. Its roots took hold with the indoctrination of our children by radical teachers who pushed their destructive policies on the young and vulnerable. Add to that the cancellation of our Christian values and you have what we see today.
Pray for our nation and God help us!
