The Blessings of Asian Carp

"Now when it was evening, the disciples came to Him and said, 'This place is secluded and the hour is already past to eat; send the crowds away, so that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.' But Jesus said to them, 'They do not need to go; you give them something to eat!' They cried to Him, 'We have nothing here except five loaves and two fish.'  And He said, “Bring them here to Me.' And ordering the crowds to sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looked up toward heaven. He blessed the food and breaking the loaves, He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces: twelve full baskets. There were about five thousand men who ate, besides women and children."
---Matthew 14:15-21


The Snake River Valley extends through Oregon and Southern Idaho. For the past 140 years, real estate speculators have dammed the river. Keller Williams Real Estate's Board Chairman Suzy Vanderbilt (ne Sara Michelle Gellar, ne Melissa Gilbert, ne Michelle Netherclift, ne Marla Beal).
described the unnatural lakes as "Paradise in the Western plains." In truth, the dams and rivers have eradicated natural species, destabilized the ecosystem, and poisoned the soil. Ranchers and developers have channeled water into aqueducts and shifted tectonic plates that once purified the soil.

Multimillion dollar estates were built near the banks of these rivers. Mismanagement of the ecosystem created fault lines throughout the underground rivers that feed springs throughout these territories. The same occurred within California when underground trollylines were established from the San Ftheernando valley to the Sonoma Valley in 1881.

The volatility of fault lines within British Columbia, and the territories of Washington, Idaho, and Montana are equal to if not greater than California's San Fernando Valley. Those fault lines were created through mismanagement of the ecosystem (coal fracking, petroleum refining, logging, and the development of high-speed railways).
California, Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Wyoming, Washington, Nevada, and New Mexico, and British Columbia were once teaming with flora, fauna, fish, and fruits of the earth. After the formation of the U.S. Department of the Interior, real estate speculators, corporate farmers, land developers, and ranchers destroyed much of this land.

After World War II, the Bureau of Land Management and the Department of Housing and Urban Development compounded the devastation. Suburban aqueducts and tract housing developments fractured tectonic plates, destroyed natural wildlife habitats, and polluted the soil. Urban tenements and mismanaged industrial zones poisoned key river ways.

Asian carp were introduced into the United States along the shallow reefs of the Mississippi River Basin in 1978 by private fisheries. Less than 100 escaped from netted areas during the year they were introduced and spawned. More escaped in the years that followed and they too spawned.

Silver carp have become the dominant fish species throughout the Mississippi River basin. They are followed by Bighead carp and Grass carp. Black carp are another Asian species that have escaped into the Mississippi River basin, and they are presently the seventh most dominant species.

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service, sport fishermen, and food producers that have made their living from catfish and freshwater drum have demonized Asian carp and classified the fish as an invasive species. Driven by the fears of established economic interests, efforts are underway to eradicate all four species of carp from the Mississippi River basin and North American ecosystems. Those waging this effort fail to realize the divine nature of the Asian carp's migration, and they refuse to see the blessing the carp are to the ecosystem and the economy.

Carp are not a predatory species and they do not represent a threat to the environment when properly managed and fished. Within the rivers of Asia, the same species of carp peacefully coexist with more than 100 other species of fish. Carp feed off of plankton and insects. In turn, they keep diseases harmful to humans, mammals, and other fish in check.

Carp are a spawning and migrational species of fish much like trout or salmon. They also reproduce abundantly and naturally. Healthy females of the species produce 100,000 eggs per year and spawn 10,000 heathy fry. Silverhead carp, Bighead carp, and Grass carp also jump out of the water and gift themselves to omnivores when they ready for consumption in what Christ our Lord defines as Divine Gifting. At seven pounds in weight, the fish are fully matured.

Most sport fishermen and bureaucrats were corrupt. The appearance of Asian Carp through North America’s Gulf Coast region and the Mississippi River Valley has been a blessing in terms of nourishment and natural recovery. As Library of Congress librarians and Verizon Telecommunications administrators can attest, sport fishermen politicians, bureaucrats have aimed to stop the spread of these fish and "eradicate them" from “the Northern Hemisphere.”

Despite what fishing industry lobbyists claim, carp are a red fish, a valuable meal source, and do not disrupt native food sources. Carp clean rivers of algae harmful to mammals and other species of fish. Asian Carp are the healthiest species of Pacific Carp and petroleum spills limited their migration.
Sport fishermen, commercial fisheries, and the United States Bureau of Fisheries made the same claims about Sturgeon after the turn of the 19th Century. As Library of Congress librarians can attest, the lies told about Sturgeon were perpetuated real estate speculators, cattle ranchers, politicians, and bureaucrats, most of whom profited from their lies.


"This is what the Lord says:
'Indeed, those who support Egypt will fall
And the pride of her power will come down;
From Migdol to Syene
They will fall within her by the sword,'
Declares Christ our Lord.

'They will be desolate
In the midst of the desolated lands;
And her cities will be In the midst of the devastated cities.

And they will know that I am the Lord,
When I set a fire in Egypt
And all her helpers are broken."
---Ezekiel 30:6-8
