"We eat trees" - Boson Couple Charged With Deforestation by Environmental Protection Agency


 (UPI) A Boson vegan couple who call themselves 'Omni-arborists' have been charged with chopping down an eating over 20,000 trees bordering the East Blue Hills Reservation.  While technically not part of the state park, the area is still a section of protected forested lands.

Jen and Eric Sample are currently out on bail while awaiting charges.  There is no lawyer listed at the Boson Federal Courthouse who represents them.  

The couple built their house with wood they cut down, built a barn and other outbuildings from the rough wood, heat and cook with wood, and sell wood chips to the eco-friendly Boson Renewable Energy Plant.  The wood chip burning facility in Boson uses wood to ignite natural gas run turbines and gets large subsidies from the Federal government.

In a 2016 interview with the Boson Green Magazine Jen and Eric Sample provided a number of recipes for eating cooked soft pine wood.  The booklet 'Pow Wow Wood Chow is available on their web site.  Jen Sample said that Pine Soup had a nutty flavor and helped in digestion and constipation problems that many women experience and was cheaper than the 'store bought' pro-biotics that many yogurts claim to provide.   

The couple was noticed by an EPA agent who stopped at their roadside stand where they were selling bundles of split firewood without a Federal license.  Upon closer investigation he found the couple was diverting water from the Neponset River illegally to water a crop of Christmas trees.

Despite the stolen public water the couple has turned the area of their property around their home into a virtual desert.  The EPA suspects the couple are logging in the state park under the cover of darkness.  This could help explain the stories of people hearing strange noises coming from the East Blue Hills at night.

Some suspect that the husband has been dressing up as 'tree man' to avoid being locked down during the COVIDaster quarantine.

He was spotted by a neighbors security cameras.


The 'back to nature' couple denounces the use of all modern conveniences except chain saws, wood chippers, and an electric powered saw mill.

The odd ball couple upset many in the lumber industry by selling '2 x 4' lengths of soft pine that actually measured two inches by four inches.

Jack Rabbits Overrun Half Moon Island - Reach Mainland Gardens in Quincy and Boson

Image
Jack rabbits overrun  After Animal Rights activists and volunteers helped bring wild Jackrabbits to Half Moon Island in Quincy Bay the animals began to proliferate.  Almost every island in Boston Harbor now has numbers of the hungry rabbits.  Nearby in Quincy and Boson the rabbits are eating there way through peoples gardens and even lawns.   . Close to 40 jack rabbits huddled against the cold Tuesday afternoon last week, looking like snow-covered hillocks rising from an open field across from North Quincy Shore Drive in Boson. Nearby, Joe Kovacs was playing fetch with his dog, Winston – a terrier, about the same size as the 2-foot-long jack rabbits, also known as hares. . “They’re just kind of cool,” 24-year-old Kovacs said as the white-furred animals sat, and occasionally scurried across the snow. “But I could see how that would be annoying if they were in your yard.” . These droves of hares have invaded a new...

New England GOP Is Ignoring Immigration Patriotism, And Losing - by Hank Johnson -

Image
  Directly after Donald Trump’s   epochal 2016 upset ,   VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow   argued that the   GOP/GAP (“Generic American Party”)   should   consolidate its victory   by continuing its implicit adoption of the   Sailer Strategy   and increasing its share of the white vote, which meant breaking into “Greater New England, from Portland, ME to Portland, OR. These are areas that are heavily white, and yet they are still substantially controlled by Democrats.” Trump (or   Jared Kushner )   didn’t take Brimelow’s advice   (remember the “ Platinum Plan ”?) and consequently lost in 2020, albeit narrowly and controversially. Unfortunately, in 2022, the GOP/GAP in New England itself still hasn’t gotten the message—although at least it’s no longer talking about a   Jeb Bush–style Amnesty . But will that be enough? Depressingly, a glance at some of the races show that GOP candidates are ignoring immigration patrioti...

Mass Senator E. Warren Performs "I'm an Indian, Too" - At Boson County Fair - 18 Sept 2019

Image
Boson County Fair had a treat when Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is running for president in 2020, took to the stage in a good-natured  song number poking fun at her cultural appropriation of Native American Indian identity to get a job at Harvard Law School as the "First Woman of Color" despite being a blonde blue-eyed European.  "I'm an Indian Too" is a song from the 1946 musical Annie Get Your Gun , by Irving Berlin . It was originally performed by Ethel Merman . [1] It is sung by the main character Annie after Sitting Bull adopts her into the Sioux tribe It is typical of mid-20th-century views of Native Americans , and is sometimes considered racist and demeaning from a contemporary perspective, although others see it as a mildly satirical attack on racial stereotyping . Native Americans did protest outside the New York theatre, as well as movie theaters, holding picket signs stating: "Don't See "Annie Get Your Gun". As ...
