Dr. Will Caster (Depp) is the foremost researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence, working to create a controversial sentient machine that combines the collective intelligence of everything ever known with the full range of human emotions. His experiments have made him a prime target of anti-technology extremists who, in their attempt to destroy Will, they inadvertently become a catalyst for his success into becoming a participant in his own transcendence. The only thing that is becoming clear is there may be no way to stop him.

FWP’s fish habitat improvement program provides funding to any entity with a good habitat project that would benefit Montana’s wild fish. To learn more about the Future Fisheries Improvement Program, and to download the grant application form, go to the Fishing page on FWP’s website at fwp.mt.gov, or call FWP at 406-444-5334.

The Montana Fish & Wildlife Commission is seeking public comment on the classification of several exotic species as either controlled or prohibited in the state.Up for controlled status is the “old world” quail, a small bird that’s become popular among some backyard-chicken breeders; and the wallaroo, a kind of kangaroo native to Australia. Species considered for prohibition in Montana are the red-eared slider, a semi-aquatic turtle; the Argali sheep, a wild sheep from the highlands of Central Asia; the Transcaspian urial sheep, a wild sheep that inhabits grassy highlands in the Caspian Sea region between Iran and Russia; and the California quail and Gambel’s quail, both stout birds native to the West Coast and Southwest respectively that are being bred as domestic backyard chickens. The F&W Commission will hold a public hearing on the classifications on May 21, at 7 p.m., at FWP headquarters in Helena, 1420 East 6th Ave. The commission is required by law to classify exotic species into controlled, non-controlled or prohibited categories and to manage any related permitting. A permit is required to possess, sell, purchase, breed, or exchange species classified as controlled. Non-controlled species may be privately owned; and prohibited species may not be possessed in Montana. To view or comment on the proposals, visit FWP’s website at fwp.mt.gov; then click Public Notices. Public comment must be made by May 30 and can also be emailed to: [email protected]; or, mailed to: Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks; Enforcement Division; P.O. Box 200701, Helena, MT 59620-0701.

The Montana Farmers Union (MFU) submitted comments to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) on its proposed rule that would allow the importation of beef from several states in Brazil with a recent history of foot and mouth disease (FMD). MFU opposed the proposal to resume importation of fresh beef from the 14 Brazilian states because of concerns regarding a history of unresolved FMD, which could pose a threat to U.S. livestock herds and consequently to family farmers and ranchers across Montana.
MFU President Alan Merrill stated in the testimony that MFU policy specifically calls for foreign meats or other food stuffs entering the United States be subject to the same standards which apply to United States meats and other food stuffs. “It is also important to note that the U.S. has not had a confirmed case of FMD since 1929,” said Merrill. MFU supports the disease prevention system that has been in place for livestock for decades, and strongly believes that it must not be put at risk: to do so is both unnecessary and could jeopardize Montana’s and our country’s beef markets.
U.S. Must Remain Vigilant About FMD

A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State, constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead’s best-selling book about the inner workings of an increasingly pervasive surveillance state, including the NSA’s program to track the communications of all Americans and map the daily activities of all people in the United States, has been named a Silver Finalist, one of three in the 2014 Benjamin Franklin Awards competition. Gold award winners of the Independent Book Publishers Association award will be announced on May 28, 2014, at a ceremony at New York University Kimmel Center’s Rosenthal Pavilion. Released in June of 2013, A Government of Wolves paints a chilling portrait of a nation in the final stages of transformation into a police state, complete with surveillance cameras, drug-sniffing dogs, SWAT team raids, roadside strip searches, blood draws at DUI checkpoints, mosquito drones, tasers, privatized prisons, GPS tracking devices, zero tolerance policies, overcriminalization, and free speech zones. “John Whitehead is one of the most eloquent and knowledgeable defenders of liberty, and opponents of the growing American police state, writing today,” stated Ron Paul, a twelve-term US congressman and former presidential candidate. “I am pleased to recommend A Government of Wolves to anyone interested in learning how modern America increasingly resembles a dystopian science fiction film instead of a Constitutional Republic.” A Government of Wolves has been hailed by those on the left and right of the political spectrum and at every point in between, for its masterful chronicling of America’s shift away from the rule of law, the U.S. Constitution, which historically shielded us from government abuses. Drawing on his vast knowledge of history, culture, and law, Whitehead compellingly argues that fiction has now become fact. Indeed, with sci fi movies such as Minority Report, 1984, The Matrix, They Live, and V for Vendetta pointing the way, America has become that futuristic society of celluloid fantasies in which a passive, uninformed populace gives rise to an overbearing, out-of-control government. This is the future George Orwell warned against. This is the present that Whitehead cautions could become an endless nightmare from which there is no awakening unless we act now. As American historian and nationally syndicated columnist Nat Hentoff notes in his special introduction to A Government of Wolves: “We have been through some troubling times before in our nation’s history. There were the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 . . . the Red Raids in the early 1920s . . . the Japanese internment camps of World War Two . . . What we have now may be more insidious. Indeed, I believe we are in a worse state now than ever before in this country. With the surveillance state closing in on us, we are fighting to keep our country free from our own government.” A Government of Wolves is now available for purchase online at Amazon.com and in stores.
