I got a great deal on my property 6-months into the pandemic shutdown, and it's only gone up from then, so i can't say that I regret my decision. Had I been as informed about the local government then as I am now, however, I likely would have kept searching elsewhere.
That being said, I whole-heartedly appreciate the work done and the insight provided by Jeff's valuable efforts at CCWatchdog.
You aren't the only one wondering 'should I stay or should I go!
Unfortunately the globalist agenda is in place virtually everywhere.
Agenda 21+++ has been infiltrating gov'ts large and small for decades and the goal is to get rid of most of us, especially older people who know what freedom and autonomy are...and concentrate and control the rest.
Lowering the standard of living for everyone (except the controllers, of course)because it's too environmentally costly to raise everyones' condition to that of the First World.
Even conservative Idaho had their 'water czar' cut off the water to 500,000 acres of (mostly) potato farms...then back off and say they'll take the water next year. (With no water shortage evident.)
Virtually every gov't now has significant New World Order agents in place to roll out Agenda 21+++.
It's hard to argue with their position because (if their science is correct) we are collectively messing up the planet with all our growth and prosperity and our billions of people all consuming and spewing whatever into the environment and ecology.
What is arguable is how they are going about it.
Watch The Speech That Got JFK executed on YT.
Also watch "Everything Is A Rich Man's Trick" wherever you can find it. About 3 hrs.
It outlines what we are up against and 'it' has gained massive strides since they eliminated JFK, RFK and MLK all in a few years.
'The Speech' also describes why we are seeing all the important decisions being made with no real public input. 'Secrecy is repugnant to a free and open society.'
The commie-issioners do not work for us but for the globalists (by design).
It's not a theory but it is a cons(piracy).
We are entertained by 'the system' to give the appearance of public input but using the Delphi Technique the agenda is pre-set at the 'public' meetings and all the important decisions are being made in secrecy.
Why? Because the decisions 'they' 'have' to make aren't going to be embraced or allowed by most of us...that's why it's the "Frog-In-The Pot" scenario.
Gradual encroachment on and loss of liberty and autonomy inch by inch, piece by piece. It's what is called a 'soft' coup...but it won't remain 'soft' for long.
They just try to keep us in the dark and feed us shit.
"You will own nothing and be happy." 'you will eat bugs', etc.
W.E.F., Klaus Schwab, Noel Harari, George Soros, etc.
U.N. Agenda 21+++, ICLEI, many other NGO's and NPO's down to our local level with 'Nozias' NODC, etc., etc.
'They say that waking up is... hard to do...now I know, know that it's true!'

Excellent update, Jeff. How many times can an entity reapply for a grant? FEMA is a mess right now. I am curious what will happen if the grant is stalled, only partial funded, or completely denied. (Remember the Recompete Grant that was only partially funded?) Last night's CRC "Town Hall" was very well attended. For all Watchdoggers, Commissioner Jeff was willing to answer any questions from the audience. Most other attending commissioners did not want any form of q & a. However, what was telling was the prepared comments from proponents for a water steward, which is the next step to accomplishing the reservoir project's green light. The next CRC Towm Hall is April 1. Another chance to voice opinions and concerns and maybe this time get some answers.
Sorry to be 'political' but Ms. Soule has been the self appointed water czar for some time now.
She used to give frequent 'the sky is falling' updates on the Dungeness Watershed data...don't know if she still does. Not saying there is not a problem with supply and demand.
Self-promoters tend to get 'the positions' because they apply themselves fervently to the situation.
It's a well known meme that you shouldn't give the (public) jobs to those who really WANT them, for obvious reasons.
George Washington and DJT were both reluctant to take on the struggles of gov't...that's why some have compared the two.
A willing but not arrogant person is the better option but not easy to find and 'hire'.
This is the dilemma of humankind and why 'we' like to have 'strong' leaders to tell us how to move forward...we have no real collective vision for a better world so we end up tugged back and forth between factions and ideologies.
Years ago Reader's Digest (before it moved closer to the 'woke' side of things) had an article called 'Why We Need God'.
I know the word has a lot of baggage...a lot of horrors have been committed in the name.
But the point of the article was/is that without some Higher form of Guidance we are nothing more than a bunch of incredibly clever monkeys.
And we all know about the mischief monkeys can get up to.
Without a set of higher values, morals and ethics we do and allow a lot of unsavory and even deadly things in the world.😎
The thorn in the reservoir and water conservation side has always been the Jimmycomelately project. At that project they decided how to build the best salmon, floodplain, estuary restoration system that used the least amount of water. Every aspect of creek and river management had been decided in 2003 based upon science from 1970-2001. Every aspect. One of the lead entitles, Clallam Conservation District hired an engineer to chime in from the water conservation side. Randy Johnson of Jamestown Tribe, oh ye of Worthington's a "crackpot" fame, was also one of the creators of the Jimmycomelately science.
Jimmycomelately science:
Eliminate tributaries and re-channeling possibilities. WHY? To conserve water and prevent bed scour caused by re-channeling events.
Baffles:
Filter big gravel from river to allow more fine silt to gather in slower moving water in the fixed meandering sections of the river or creek.
Fixed meandering channels at 3 percent grade:
They built a switchback that never was intended to re-channel, with deep channels that gradually reduced the grade of the river and slowed the water down.
No salmon hotel logs in the fixed meandering parts of the river:
Jimmycomelately project engineers decided the salmon hotel logs washed out the beds after the flood and wanted a natural erosion process away from the fixed meandering sections to avoid the re-channeling and decided not to use an engineered log jam.
Then, after the Jimmycomelately project they threw all of that "science" out the window when they started managing the Dungeness. Worthington the "crackpot" tried to get Randy Johnson to acknowledge the Jimmycomelately science on a webinar, and he went into a coughing fit the rest of the webinar. Later he wrote the "crackpot" email to Kathy Lear of DRMT his partner in crime for altering the Jimmycomelately science.
They are using every tool they have to justify changing the Jimmycomelately science in order to achieve a political outcome. They sacrificed water, farming, property rights and salmon spawning and now they want to hire a "hydrologist" to justify changing what they already decided works best for every aspect.
Is the Jamestown tribe going to dismantle the old Jimmycomelately project based on what this new science will tell us?
I have witnessed the Jimmy Come project and developent of the JST Casino complex since 1992. I was living at Diamond Point at the time, after I returned home from living in the Marshall Islands for a few years, driving past the site daily (with traffic delays), which has turned into a giant petri dish experiment. From demolishing the old Tavern at Blyn, to re-routing the channel, placing root wads in the channel, constant building and re-grading of the landscape, Highway 101 re-configuration and routing. the development has been endless, all the way to Sequim. I was born and raised in Port Angeles, and the east side, and have seen the changes coming on since the 1950s. Short term thinking(?), band aids and knee jerk have become the norm, or the complete opposite, overkill. There are so many examples, that I could not possible reference that 70 year period here. Knowledge is power, and is the only tool effective tool to avert the delusional dreams that some conjure, and present to The People as being necessary, funded by taxpayers, returning nothing of value to them. "Where water is wealth" has been the theme of the Sequim Irrigation Festival from it's inception, and with that resource, many of us put food and dairy products on our tables. I worked in, and was certified as Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Operators, Water, Distribution Manager, Basic Testing Operator and Laboratory Technician for 15 years, with most operators seeing the inevitability; Water Law being slowly implemented, and the resulting water use mandates and restrictions on privately owned water systems (wells and surface water sources). If one remains silent on these issues, then it is perceived by Government that one one is aligned with, and supportive of their agendas at taxpayer expense, and further long-term expense, as well. It is immenently clear that our elected officials have, lied to us in order to gain access to our resources and personal lives, for their own benefit and aggranizement.
That Dungeness water comes screaming down the Grey Wolf and desperately needs the Jimmycomelately switchback to slow it down. It needs the fixed meandering switchback to build up silt at the proper grade with deep enough water to evade predator's.
Right now Clallam County, the DRMT , NOPLE, the tribe and FEMA are in contempt of the available science and they know it. Now they desperately need new science to base their intentional mismanagement on.
The reason the Chinook are listed as endangered is because the Dungeness is being intentionally mismanaged to do all the things the Jimmycomelately project decided not to do. The added Dungeness tributary uses more water not less and lowers the water level of both channels. The lower river level exposes the salmon to predator's. They constantly tread thru the lower tributary to deal with riffles and even take heavy equipment to move sediment that would have been filtered at Jimmycomelately. Hotel logs routinely scour the beds during storm flooding and wash up on the beach without ever breaking down to silt. They play with radio transmitters to track the salmon, when 50 years of science already went there. Sure its possible to lay salmon eggs in fast moving high grade locations further up the Dungeness. However the outcomes on the Dungeness have been predictably dismal by their own established science.
Its McGlothlin syndrome. Deal with property owners under the new science they don't have yet by creating high water tables to thwart septic and limit well use. Cheap sale or outright condemnation.
Its dastardly and unethical.
The tortfeasors are everyone who built and signed off on the Jimmycomelately science.
I have fished all the rivers-creeks from elwah to dungeness since the sixties and have seen the fish stocks decimated by tribal gillnetting which is allowed and encouraged by WDFW so the dept can send in endangered species act reports to fed govt for mass millions$$$ after netting season.The king salmon numbers have been on the endangered list for many years throughout the state but the gillnetting continues so hypocrite state can collect $$$.I am surprised wa sate has not been sued for it's corruption.
@DOGE_INT BIA allows Tribes to ignore fishing laws that affect the rest. As such, in the PNW they decimate the salmon populations with gill nets and modern fish tracking techniques for profit, not sustenance. The WA Department of Fish and Wildlife encourages this practice so they can get more federal money to deal with it. THIS IS A SCAM! The Tribe's per-capita income is $360K/yr compared with the average of non-Tribal people being $62K. Please do something about this.
NOI I go crazy over this topic. Everyday people who want to fish, and actually can feed their family on 2 fish a day are disgusted with this practice of gill netting under the "sustenance" loophole. I can't fathom it. It's the pink elephant...Tribal fishing is starving the whales we have in the PNW by gill net fishing, then asking to be allowed to kill 2 whales a year for more unneeded sustenance? You are right, it is a scam under a guise.
The whales Makah are permitted to hunt are baleen whales and do not consume fish. I would also like to point out that there are 1.2 million recreational fisherman and only 140 WDFW officers. You do the math.
I like the idea of tribal members building log canoes and hunting the old way. I think its exciting to watch their culture in action. I would make a pay per view event out of it and have jet boats there to rescue tribal members that ran into trouble like the surfers in California..
Yeah, but the Orcas are literally starving from lack of salmon.
They NEED lots of King Salmon because they are the largest with the highest fat content.
I have witnessed the desperation of Orcas literally scouring the little kelp patches to flush out ANYTHING to eat.
I have seen 2 big bull Orcas trying to help an infant survive by holding it between their massive bodies and repeatedly going up and down so the baby could breathe and not drown...don't know what happened to the Mom...maybe she just had to go and forage for her own survival?
In the Sea of Cortez in the Baja the sea lions have taken to eating mostly bottom fish because their primary near-surface prey species are decimated.
Bottom fish take a LONG time to mature so not readily replaceable.
I am not a big fan of humanity but I love all you who participate in honest and open dialogue!
I agree with you on everything except for how much money they make.. the casino states 24 million in revenue, the longhouse gas station, who really knows because they keep 75% of the gas tax charged to its citizens, they own a golf course, pot shop, a storage unit business, an internet company, a construction company, a bank, a physician clinic… and own a million acres in clallam and Jefferson county. Oh I forgot about the KOA they bought for 7 million using tax payer money, everything they have bought has been because of non tribal citizens.. and what do they give back to our town? Nothing, no school money, no road money, in fact every time they buy something we make up the difference by higher property taxes. Putting a casino in our town is just another slap in the face. They don’t pay out like other casinos do and they don’t pay their employees minimum wage. The government keeps giving them more and more ways to cause havoc. Was is weird that they were allowed to stay open during the most deadly pandemic known to man? They vote democrat, that’s why. I do t even understand why they are allowed to vote when they aren’t part of our country. They have their own land and government, why do they get both? And why are we responsible for the governments actions from 400 years ago? There is no one alive from that time so why do they get rewarded and we get punished?
There is also off-shore seining and scouring the sea beds which disrupt the entire food chain and which is out of sight!
'We've' thought about every way to 'get' stuff...as long as there's big profits involved.
The early settlers used to pitchfork the fish out of every stream and the 'native' fish traps blocked every mouth of every river and creek. I used to see the remnants especially up the coast of B.C.
Obviously some fish did get through...maybe the 'natives' even 'managed' the situation to allow enough fish to get through...we may never know.
In the 1700's a white man captured by the natives on Vancouver Island lived with them for a couple years because the chief needed him to fix the muskets they had been traded and to chronicle the egoic needs of the chief. (The man was the 'scribe' for the chief which had no written language but the chief saw the importance of having HIS majesty chronicled.)(Probably related to Ron Allen🤪)
Every year they would migrate upstream several miles to get away from the harsh coastal winters and they would carry all the food they could to Winter Camp.
In the Spring they would have a gluttonous feast so as to not have to carry a lot of (well seasoned) food with them, so they ate up everything they could...but when they returned to the coast there was no salmon run that year and the entire village almost starved to death...(this was before coal-fired power plants and Tesla's😜)
The villagers were superstitious and tried to have the white-guy killed as they believed his presence was why no salmon came.
It caused a lot of chaos and turmoil in the village and they nearly self-destructed.
No one knows why everything happens but shit happens and there is often nothing we can do about it.
This is national news that is only reported here. Can you tell me, a skeptic, where the Dungeness meets Jimmycomelately creek? Or this a reference to one method applied to Jimmycomelately creek but not to the Dungeness?
The tribe claims to own a million acres in Jefferson and clallam County. All near creeks and Rivers and shorelines …now they have come out with data proving it will be flooded soon so they are allowed to move and take up more land in the county and out of the tax roll. The land can never be sold or developed. Look up “Jamestown land consolidation” use the “brave browser”
They changed things by joining and agreeing to build and serve an international government. Whatever they had and the reasons for what they had, will now have to endure a legal test after opting out of the Point No Point Treaty of 1855, to create a new treaty outcome. Apparently, having a BIA with billions to spend on an agency that can only be staffed by tribal members was not a good enough relationship so they had to enter into a new one to get reparations for the colonization that happened to them. What kind of attorney did they have that just said go ahead sign here...
Ok. Than you for your response. I am interested the science that you have gathered. Do you have a google or cloud stourage I maybe able to take a copy? I have seen aerial photos of the Longhouse property there does seem to be at least a second historical stream prior to the contruction of some sort of structure before the Tribe purchased it.
They got old man McGlothlin's property (Longhouse) for chump change, because the Jimmycomelately went right thru that property. They moved the entire creek and diverted a Dean creek tributary to then utilize property that was worthless. Now on the Dungeness they are back to the re-channeling science after saying the science had to be a certain way at Jimmycomelately. You can just google Jimmycomelately restoration and get the science they used. You can also google salmon spawning grade and get even more stuff. Jimmycomelately is based on 1971-2001 science, it just does not allow a property taking. So they are back to the policy that got them old Man McGlothlin's property. Its dastardly in my book maybe even criminal.
If one really wants to know about the need for a reservoir one should ask the commissioners. They'll ask the tribe and we'll have our answer. And the commissioners will have campaign funds and NGOs. Problem solved.
If jamestown tries to use 'salmon saving capabilities'as mentioned to try and get control of water rights then remind them it is their gillnetting practice that has decimated fish stocks in the dungeness river,so if tribe is so concerned about declining fish stocks then quit gillnetting but most of know that will not happen unless wa state elects a conservative governor which seems impossible.Billions of extra water flowing into ocean during winter months that could be collected.
The native king salmon stocks in the dungeness pretty much gone and not many coho natives left,this year a wdfw agent said this year was the lowest count of coho's that is including hatchery salmon but the netting continues.
They only produce Chum or 'Dog Salmon' at Dungeness hatchery. My understanding is that in the cycles of salmon runs the Chum provide more 'food value' in the chain for the other species as the others eat eggs and smolts and general nutrition provided by the Chum and their corpses. This I gleaned from the biologist at Dungeness hatchery a few years ago...I don't know why the other species are so weak in numbers but there is certainly human aspects to it all.
Whatever, the attempts to reverse the losses is not working too well.🙂
My hope and prayer is that a lot of people quickly get that we are not able to engage in reasonable dialogue with the rulers. This is a psyop! It has been underway for decades.
People are just now trying to come through cognitive dissonance to realize what the hell is happening. We have already been 'captured'. The only question is now do we have enough awareness and will to change things for the better. And what IS better?
Hopefully, TRUTH, JUSTICE, LIBERTY AND TOUGH LOVE🤔
One of the only good things about our area is that we are not at the top of Ecology's list at this point in time. Ecology identified WRIA 1 (Nooksack) and WRIA 58 (Upper Columbia) as top priorities for adjudication, with others like the Spokane River basins and Walla Walla River under consideration. The Dungeness watershed (WRIA 18) is not listed among the immediate priorities, though it’s been noted for future evaluation due for enhanced water management related to summer low flows and salmon habitat needs.
Follow the money is right. Economically, water rights are becoming a commodity. Private entities, like Crown Columbia Water Resources, have been buying up rights, particularly in the Columbia River basin, to create a private water market. This trend raises concerns about consolidation and price increases but reflects a broader shift toward treating water as a valuable asset in a water-stressed future. Critics worry this could prioritize profit over public access, while proponents argue it aids struggling farmers and conservation efforts.
Crown Columbia Water Resources, LLC is a Spokane Valley-based company formed in 2015 as a subsidiary of Petrus Partners Ltd., a New York City investment firm with roots in real estate and farmland ventures. Backed by capital from former Goldman Sachs partners, Crown Columbia has pursued an aggressive strategy to acquire water rights across Washington State. It has been said that Crown’s model prioritizes profit over public stewardship.....raising alarms about Wall Street-style speculation in a warming, drying West. Supporters argue it’s just smart business—helping farmers cash out and meeting growing demand. Detractors see a future where water, like housing, becomes a financialized asset.
PS: got most of this info by asking Grok (AI) on X.
This is insanity. Why not give our water right to a completely different country at that point. They would probably pay us for it instead of taking it.
Voting has consequences, folks. Similarly, refusing to be involved has consequences. Common sense folks who have not been involved in, or even staying informed of, these important issues has gotten us to where we are today. If people value what's left of their freeedom, they'll take action to be part of saving this area and this State for future generations. Otherwise, you may as well just sign your property over to the tribes and wait for them to kick you out of your home. That's where this is going. You can't really blame the tribes for this, because any group in their position would be doing the same thing which is the expansion and preservation of their group. The problem is we continue to encourage it, rather than temper it. The history of native tribes is full of territorial disagreements and conflict long before European settlers arrived. I guess being conquered is a pretty uncomfortable subject, but I don't think ever in history has the conquering group turned around and treated the conquered group so well. To show their appreciation, they seem to have made it their mission to take take a mile from ever inch they're given. From fisheries to industry and now water rights, tribal corporations have an inside track to government in addition to tax except status and grants up the kazoo. So, we're paying for embedded sovereign nations to expand and gain economic advantage over us within our our home. It really is insanity. Similar to the way Democrat elected officials continue to give more and more money to clearly partisan institutions such as PBS and NPR (as evidenced by recent congressional hearings) who in turn do everything they can to get them reelected by way of smearing conservatives and elevating liberals(and the cycle continues) the tribes have a similar agreement with these same elected officials. Did you happen to notice all the campaign signs in front of Tribal properties during the past (and all past) elections? Not a single conservative/Republican sign, all of them are liberal Democrats. Don't you ever ask yourself why that is? Its very simple: Ensuring and protecting each other's grip on power. Its a very human thing, and its these types of arrangements that breed corruption. Corruption, oh corruption, everywhere. Democrats represent the tribes, not the citizens they're sworn to represent. Wake up and get involved, if you care, before its too late.
You couldn’t have said it better for even people like me to completely understand what you are conveying. I have lived history, watched history, studied history and listened and read what my assessors wrote & fought for. Thank you for your post.
Yes Christian, I think any effort is better than none. I don't attend meetings, or go to rally sessions or write letters (well, I do do that) but the fact that any of us have found this site has opened our minds. I feel involvement is private and we all get involved as we can. We don't need more guilt than we already carry.
I believe subscribing to CCWD is a good first step, then the action will happen. As my father said, "When you get them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow"
The biggest issue is really that the 'rulers' have nothing else to do but scheme and plan and execute. It is their full time job...whereas 'We The People' have to make and create time out of our busy lives to try and counter.
They are HIGHLY organized...we are not.
We have the collective power but it is not focused.
We are divided, therefore conquered...for now.
What is happening to Us IS revolutionary.
I just spent 2+ hours of my morning replying, responding and sharing.
I would be a lot more hopeful if we had true journalistic media in the mainstream...but we don't.
So we do the best we can or know how to with whatever we've got to work with.
Blessings to all seekers of TRUTH, JUSTICE, LIBERTY AND TOUGH LOVE!😊
The conquering group did steal children tho. That's weird af. Do me a favor and look up the total native population of Clallam county compared to it's total population, then look at the a voter precint map. Demonstrate the collusion.
You want me to do the research for you to support your argument? That's weird af and lazy.
First, history is rife with examples of atrocities throughout the world in every culture. How do you determine which were justified and which were not? Every group of people were victims at some point in history. Which deserve your defense? After hundreds of years of violent conquest by islam, was it justified for Christians to wage holy crusades?
Anyway, you mention children. I'm glad you did. In order to establish how seriously I should take you, lets think about how morally consistency you are to ensure you're not simply using dead children as a tragic prop for your argument which you only elude to.
During the westward push of American settlers, it was common practice for native tribes to abduct American children. Do you defend that practice? Which instances of stealing children is worse? Most of the graves that were examined showed blunt force trauma as the cause of death for men, women, and children. Who's murder or abduction of children was worse? [https://listverse.com/2017/11/05/10-pioneer-children-abducted-by-native-americans-who-refused-to-go-home/]
Between the years 2010 and 2022, around 7,875,000 (nearly the entire population of NYC) babies were killed via "legal" abortion. The vast majority, 99%, were not medically necessary and were performed out of convenience. Do you support that abortion be used as birth control? Oh, and it should be mentioned that planned parenthood is tax payer funded (so we're paying for the murder of the next generation)and created by a racist woman who believed in controlling the population through abortion for primarily blacks. “Eugenics is … the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political and social problems.” Margaret Sanger. [https://www.statista.com/statistics/185274/number-of-legal-abortions-in-the-us-since-2000/][https://aleteia.org/2020/07/25/the-complicated-legacy-of-planned-parenthood-founder-margaret-sanger]
We don't even have to go into the attempt of certain groups to normalize pedophelia, or the Jeffrey Epstein child rape network that involved some of the most powerful and well known people in the world, including many Hollywood "stars". We also don't need to bring up the current crisis of children of all ethicities being caught in the crossfire of criminal cartels or the dysfunctional lives of their downstream customer base of homeless and poverty stricken people in which children are an all too common victim of cirucmstance.
So, yes lots of children are victimized and its tragic that we as a society don't protect them better. Are you as serious about protecting the children that are currently alive, or do you focus your outrage only towards historical evils?
I guess I would be generally curious what you do to help and/or protect the children of the current generation. Is your argument simply using children as a prop? I hope not, because that's a really bad look. It is selective outrage to attempt to score points or genuine concern?
To your last point, you're basically supporting my argument, which is that having a nation within a nation is crazy and we'd be better if we just said "enough is enough" and formally dissolved the whole racket. One nation under God. We're all Americans and should all be working towards a brighter future for all citizens. Continuing to separate us by groups will only keep us divided. Maybe that's uncomfortable but it's true. The status quo isn't helping the tribal communities, it has created dependence and complacency which fuels alcoholism, drug abuse, neglect and criminal behavior. The billions of our tax dollars, per year, that are sent aren't helping them, some of it isn't even getting to them. [https://www.gao.gov/blog/funding-and-programs-meant-help-tribes-may-not-be-reaching-them.]If that funding stopped, could they survive? The we allow this to continue, the more children will suffer and be victimized. If you're serious about protecting children, you'd want law and order, secure borders, One Nation under God, stiff sentencing for criminals to create deterrence, and other common sense ways to address the problem. Look around you: "Restorative justice" is a failure. Funding tribes is a failure. Bloated bureuacracy is a failure. Government spending is out of control. Democrats have run this state for 40 years and our problems have only increased in number and magnitude.
I am single white male who is sharing half the responsibility for the care of my 88 year old grandpa while juggling graduate school to be a nurse practitioner. It is arduous and time consuming, so I would not dare bring a child into the mess that is my life. The emotional neglect alone pains me. However, I was a mentor with King County boys and girls club in my early twenties but other than that I am not sure if have the same absolute power and authority over the the entire population of children in this country as you do. I do however encourage my friends who are gifted with families of their own to bring their kids with them when we hang out since their children are part of them and now part of mine too. I beleive I will have lived well.
That's that.
So, you do jump around a lot, but in your defense I did set you off with a zinger. But, you got one leg in and out of the pawn shop, ma'am. So to summarize you were saying you were asleep at the wheel and that a tribal takeover is inevitable, then waded into the conquering thing when you had a lightbulb moment about how suddenly well the native populations were treated so well (and thats when I did the zinger). Then you had a forray into treaty righs providing unfair economic advantages, NPR & PBS, then alleging that the politcal relationship between tribes and liberal Democrats fosters corruption evidence by only seeing such sign in their yards (and thats weird af that you know where they all live). Anecdote to anecdote, you are probably 90% right cuz you would not beleive the shit some natives say about immigrants and George Floyd.
At last, I want to respond to the tangent. I will lean into the whatboutism however becuase you do conclude that we are one nation. But first I want to point out that open ended questions aren't arugments (not at all good jouranlism or reporting) they are admissions that you know you have no answer to nor did you want to. Yeah, all that was shitty. There also isn't not just one Native American Nation. I leave you too google how many seperate treaties there, and why they are called treaties specifically. But in the end there was America and its long standing policy of assimilation which did include the abduction of children into the 1960's. Thats about the time frame of the Civil Rights Movement, the MLK kind, the AIM kind. And fun fact thats the last time there was an actualy supermajority in all three branches of government (I hope you know that one because that will help you understand who has the powers to make treaties)
Girl, then you are back to the jumping. Somehow you drew a line from historical atrocities to abortions, Planned Parenthood, paedophiles and back to tribal soverignty even after all those open ended questions like the past is something unknowable or perhaps esoteric. If they are trapped in a cycle due to dependence what would you think the purpose of the Healing Clinic Jamestown built? I remind you that it wasn't built solely for natives. Tribal funding seems like its a resounding success when a tribe use it to imporve its own healthcare, education and economic development. Curtail soome protections, and Clallam county would still be in the same economic mess.
And I know you think this states a failure to Democratic Leadership but outside of these economicaly depressed counties. More Republican States receive more from the federal government than they remit in taxes. So I leave you to check those poverty rates out for yourself.
I would be suspect of the church you attend becuase I am willing to bet that where you worship, Jesus himself walked out to get a gallon of milk and cigarettes and never looked back.
And THAT is one big nutshell!...truth is often uncomfortable and sometimes intolerable to some...but it's still the truth...and it matters because Christian's share is at the core of all the other woes and troubles we are talking about.
We can't separate our Spiritual/Psychological selves from what we are a part of here on 'Urantia', another name for Earth. We consider ourselves a the 3rd planet from the Sun... Counting it from the outer approach and counting Pluto...we are number 7 in order.
An objective view.
Another perspective to stretch the consciousness a bit. If you are a Sun-worshipper our normal world view makes sense. If you become a God-As-Source of All person... then you can begin to imagine a different and unlimited reality!
You have to want to know, Kevin. If all you do is apologize, you can't see the bigger picture of what is happening to ALL OF US as the NWO rolls out their plan for massive population reduction and total control of all humans! Maybe you want that...if so, I hope you don't get what you want. The 'tribe' is being used as proxy for the Complete takeover of resources including human resources...it has NOTHING to do with the proportion of native-to-white residents...'the tribe' is 'the queen' in chess, being played by forces far beyond your current level of understanding...do some research of your own...if not you're just 'trolling'.😎
Every single human group on the planet has been enslaved, raped, genocided, etc.
Why do you think so many end up living in the extremes of the Arctic, desert, high altitude, isolation...escaping persecution. No one went to live in those places cause it was what they wanted. What they wanted was to be left the hell alone to live in peace...not gonna happen!
NO POOR INDIANS! Wake UP!
Not justifying maltreatment... just saying putting us on the sharp end of maltreatment isn't going to solve anything.
Put your 'white guilt' to rest and get involved, however you can in what is useful and meaningful to those you care about.😊
Spending money in county coffers to take away land "owners" rights is just plain wrong. Over building, piping ditches, metering wells exacerbates the problem. Does no one remember that Sequim was a desert, complete with cactus, before irrigation ditches? This local laissez Faire is going to destroy us.
When we began our search for a home on the OP and learned that the water in a private well was subject to metering and restrictions, we re-focused our search where this would not be an issue.
We relocated from an arid area and are conservation minded. We were also surprised that nearly every toilet we have used on the OP outside of our own home has been of the 5 gal per flush variety. So, whatever we are being told about the need to conserve water, the actions tell a different story.
It’s all about taking control of the one thing everyone needs.
The disappearing salmon seems to be a scam and a distraction because they use it for everything. FEMA doesn’t even want to hear about it, lol. MThe tribe gets their more than fair share of the salmon like everyone knows and is well aware of the netting done in their boats no one else can afford. It’s not at all about fish. Example, science says the proposed oyster fields in Dungeness Bay have destroyed salmon populations elsewhere so why would we go against the science & destroy the salmon that the tribe cares so much about and proceed to install oyster beds in Dungeness Bay? It is about control and whoever controls the river and the water has the power to control, period. The comparisons of science on one river years ago and the management of one river verses the neighboring river of opposite management shows it’s not about science or fish.. Another example is It was all about the fish and fry habitat that was used to keep a county road, Towne Road, closed permanently. We can talk, complain, and discuss but we have to show up, stand up, speak up unfortunately because our elected government officials are in it for their own reasons and what the people want doesn’t make the grade…..evidence no “NAY”….if anyone heard a “Nay” please let me know.
We apparently have all the water we could ever use around 900 feet below our feet.
P.U.D. just tapped the '3rd aquifer' last year but as you may surmise it takes a lot of energy to bring volumes of water to our needs, so no more 'cheap' water available for us. The surface run-off and upper aquifer are obviously fragile and probably unsustainable with the growth happening now.
The NWO pegs sustainable human populations at 500,000,000 or 1/2 billion so that's their goal for what we can expect if they prevail and right now they are indeed prevailing.
Left to unlimited growth and industrial development we will self-destruct sooner than later.
Either way we will be remembered by the 'Thin Black Line' we leave behind in the geology of the planet.
Screw the NWO! Earth is doing just fine with more than 10x that number of humans. Their climate alarmism is pure fiction and all their population control is based on that. The way the politicians deal with this topic is to tax us more and strip us of our rights, in the name of the Climate Emergency, narrative.
After I watched the attached youtube video about the "summons" to fill out the water usage sheet, I'd bet dollars to donuts we'll see that here in Clallam County! Also, we already "know" the answer to who will own the water rights for the reservoir! My "wild guess" is JKT!
Great work Jeff. I had a bad feeling about this and, sadly, it looks like our county is following the footsteps of Whatcom after all. Pretty messed up that FEMA is actually schooling these politicians to defraud the government. I.m going to do some posting on X...maybe I can get the attention of someone{s} who are trying to make the fed more accountable. Geez.
The criminals in the state of Oregon have been ruthlessly attacking their folks water rights for many months and debatably years now, as they have been attempting to choke off the country folks & small farmers and ranchers to starve them from their own human rights to water and life itself. The criminals in the state of Idaho started to attack their folks water rights, especially the farmers and ranchers in the Southern part of the state last year, to choke them off of their water rights to starve them from their own human rights to water and life itself. The criminals in the Washington state government passed COMPLETELY evil unconstitutional laws that were always intended to starve people out of their rights to water about 10 years ago and at that time they claimed that; "they were not going to enforce their laws at that time"~! There is no drought in the Pacific Northwest and the lies about that "fake science" so-called news are without doubt intended to trick the sleeping sheep about the governments dastardly evil satanic plans to kill as many people as possible and drive the rest into cities! 15-minute cities where your rights and freedoms will no longer exist and the criminals in government will dictate everything~! It is LONG past time to throw these evil corrupt monsters in prison for the rest of their miserable lives~! These are the same criminals of humanity who knowingly conducted the mass murder democide of the COVID and deadly fake "vaccine" crimes against humanity, so they ALL qualify for US Military Tribunals for their treason and crimes against humanity ASAP~! Where is the US Military??? It would be better to see the US Military do their duty, before the REAL American Patriots are forced to defend themselves from these horrific crimes that these criminals in government have very clearly been long planning~! Enough is enough~! M
Wasn’t it Rupert Murdoch that coined the term “blue gold” in the early 2000’s?
Anybody else recall that water is now a commodity traded on the stock market?
Beware Sequim, as I have stated in the past, what I observe unfolding here is the exact path that was successfully executed upon the citizens of Lahaina.
Our lives are traded on the 'dark' market through our SSI numbers...we each have an assigned fiscal value...our local and state gov'ts also listed and traded on...we have been a corporatocracy for many years. EVERYTHING is commoditized. Except Source...can't bottle that...yet.😎
One need only read about water rights in California and other arid/semi arid areas like Eastern WA. to realize how important they are. Water rights are a source of inordinate wealth. I see our area weather as a magnet for those intelligent enough to research it. No weather extremes in the form of heat, cold or weather events like hurricanes & tornados. We have a huge natural water reservoir in the form of the Olympic mountain range, but the fickle nature of it's availability makes water storage a wise investment IMHO. As important as water is to all life, it is time to face the reality that not just water, but wildlife populations, including fish & timber, and human populations are inversely proportional. As human populations increase, all other forms of life decrease. Human over-population is a formidable challenge that can no longer be ignored. More area development requires more resources in their innumerable forms.
I got a great deal on my property 6-months into the pandemic shutdown, and it's only gone up from then, so i can't say that I regret my decision. Had I been as informed about the local government then as I am now, however, I likely would have kept searching elsewhere.
That being said, I whole-heartedly appreciate the work done and the insight provided by Jeff's valuable efforts at CCWatchdog.
You aren't the only one wondering 'should I stay or should I go!
Unfortunately the globalist agenda is in place virtually everywhere.
Agenda 21+++ has been infiltrating gov'ts large and small for decades and the goal is to get rid of most of us, especially older people who know what freedom and autonomy are...and concentrate and control the rest.
Lowering the standard of living for everyone (except the controllers, of course)because it's too environmentally costly to raise everyones' condition to that of the First World.
Even conservative Idaho had their 'water czar' cut off the water to 500,000 acres of (mostly) potato farms...then back off and say they'll take the water next year. (With no water shortage evident.)
Virtually every gov't now has significant New World Order agents in place to roll out Agenda 21+++.
It's hard to argue with their position because (if their science is correct) we are collectively messing up the planet with all our growth and prosperity and our billions of people all consuming and spewing whatever into the environment and ecology.
What is arguable is how they are going about it.
Watch The Speech That Got JFK executed on YT.
Also watch "Everything Is A Rich Man's Trick" wherever you can find it. About 3 hrs.
It outlines what we are up against and 'it' has gained massive strides since they eliminated JFK, RFK and MLK all in a few years.
'The Speech' also describes why we are seeing all the important decisions being made with no real public input. 'Secrecy is repugnant to a free and open society.'
The commie-issioners do not work for us but for the globalists (by design).
It's not a theory but it is a cons(piracy).
We are entertained by 'the system' to give the appearance of public input but using the Delphi Technique the agenda is pre-set at the 'public' meetings and all the important decisions are being made in secrecy.
Why? Because the decisions 'they' 'have' to make aren't going to be embraced or allowed by most of us...that's why it's the "Frog-In-The Pot" scenario.
Gradual encroachment on and loss of liberty and autonomy inch by inch, piece by piece. It's what is called a 'soft' coup...but it won't remain 'soft' for long.
They just try to keep us in the dark and feed us shit.
"You will own nothing and be happy." 'you will eat bugs', etc.
W.E.F., Klaus Schwab, Noel Harari, George Soros, etc.
U.N. Agenda 21+++, ICLEI, many other NGO's and NPO's down to our local level with 'Nozias' NODC, etc., etc.

Excellent update, Jeff. How many times can an entity reapply for a grant? FEMA is a mess right now. I am curious what will happen if the grant is stalled, only partial funded, or completely denied. (Remember the Recompete Grant that was only partially funded?) Last night's CRC "Town Hall" was very well attended. For all Watchdoggers, Commissioner Jeff was willing to answer any questions from the audience. Most other attending commissioners did not want any form of q & a. However, what was telling was the prepared comments from proponents for a water steward, which is the next step to accomplishing the reservoir project's green light. The next CRC Towm Hall is April 1. Another chance to voice opinions and concerns and maybe this time get some answers.
At one point were we witnessing a job interview?
I certainly thought so.
Yeah way over 5 minutes & not a peep from the Judge Chairperson……Last night 5 water 0 public……
Sorry to be 'political' but Ms. Soule has been the self appointed water czar for some time now.
She used to give frequent 'the sky is falling' updates on the Dungeness Watershed data...don't know if she still does. Not saying there is not a problem with supply and demand.
Self-promoters tend to get 'the positions' because they apply themselves fervently to the situation.
It's a well known meme that you shouldn't give the (public) jobs to those who really WANT them, for obvious reasons.
George Washington and DJT were both reluctant to take on the struggles of gov't...that's why some have compared the two.
A willing but not arrogant person is the better option but not easy to find and 'hire'.
This is the dilemma of humankind and why 'we' like to have 'strong' leaders to tell us how to move forward...we have no real collective vision for a better world so we end up tugged back and forth between factions and ideologies.
Years ago Reader's Digest (before it moved closer to the 'woke' side of things) had an article called 'Why We Need God'.
I know the word has a lot of baggage...a lot of horrors have been committed in the name.
But the point of the article was/is that without some Higher form of Guidance we are nothing more than a bunch of incredibly clever monkeys.
And we all know about the mischief monkeys can get up to.
Without a set of higher values, morals and ethics we do and allow a lot of unsavory and even deadly things in the world.😎
If you don’t believe in something you’ll believe in anything
Great investigative reporting Jeff.
The thorn in the reservoir and water conservation side has always been the Jimmycomelately project. At that project they decided how to build the best salmon, floodplain, estuary restoration system that used the least amount of water. Every aspect of creek and river management had been decided in 2003 based upon science from 1970-2001. Every aspect. One of the lead entitles, Clallam Conservation District hired an engineer to chime in from the water conservation side. Randy Johnson of Jamestown Tribe, oh ye of Worthington's a "crackpot" fame, was also one of the creators of the Jimmycomelately science.
Jimmycomelately science:
Eliminate tributaries and re-channeling possibilities. WHY? To conserve water and prevent bed scour caused by re-channeling events.
Baffles:
Filter big gravel from river to allow more fine silt to gather in slower moving water in the fixed meandering sections of the river or creek.
Fixed meandering channels at 3 percent grade:
They built a switchback that never was intended to re-channel, with deep channels that gradually reduced the grade of the river and slowed the water down.
No salmon hotel logs in the fixed meandering parts of the river:
Jimmycomelately project engineers decided the salmon hotel logs washed out the beds after the flood and wanted a natural erosion process away from the fixed meandering sections to avoid the re-channeling and decided not to use an engineered log jam.
Then, after the Jimmycomelately project they threw all of that "science" out the window when they started managing the Dungeness. Worthington the "crackpot" tried to get Randy Johnson to acknowledge the Jimmycomelately science on a webinar, and he went into a coughing fit the rest of the webinar. Later he wrote the "crackpot" email to Kathy Lear of DRMT his partner in crime for altering the Jimmycomelately science.
They are using every tool they have to justify changing the Jimmycomelately science in order to achieve a political outcome. They sacrificed water, farming, property rights and salmon spawning and now they want to hire a "hydrologist" to justify changing what they already decided works best for every aspect.
Is the Jamestown tribe going to dismantle the old Jimmycomelately project based on what this new science will tell us?
Not on your life.
I have witnessed the Jimmy Come project and developent of the JST Casino complex since 1992. I was living at Diamond Point at the time, after I returned home from living in the Marshall Islands for a few years, driving past the site daily (with traffic delays), which has turned into a giant petri dish experiment. From demolishing the old Tavern at Blyn, to re-routing the channel, placing root wads in the channel, constant building and re-grading of the landscape, Highway 101 re-configuration and routing. the development has been endless, all the way to Sequim. I was born and raised in Port Angeles, and the east side, and have seen the changes coming on since the 1950s. Short term thinking(?), band aids and knee jerk have become the norm, or the complete opposite, overkill. There are so many examples, that I could not possible reference that 70 year period here. Knowledge is power, and is the only tool effective tool to avert the delusional dreams that some conjure, and present to The People as being necessary, funded by taxpayers, returning nothing of value to them. "Where water is wealth" has been the theme of the Sequim Irrigation Festival from it's inception, and with that resource, many of us put food and dairy products on our tables. I worked in, and was certified as Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Operators, Water, Distribution Manager, Basic Testing Operator and Laboratory Technician for 15 years, with most operators seeing the inevitability; Water Law being slowly implemented, and the resulting water use mandates and restrictions on privately owned water systems (wells and surface water sources). If one remains silent on these issues, then it is perceived by Government that one one is aligned with, and supportive of their agendas at taxpayer expense, and further long-term expense, as well. It is immenently clear that our elected officials have, lied to us in order to gain access to our resources and personal lives, for their own benefit and aggranizement.
Timothy: Say it isn't so!🤦

That Dungeness water comes screaming down the Grey Wolf and desperately needs the Jimmycomelately switchback to slow it down. It needs the fixed meandering switchback to build up silt at the proper grade with deep enough water to evade predator's.
Right now Clallam County, the DRMT , NOPLE, the tribe and FEMA are in contempt of the available science and they know it. Now they desperately need new science to base their intentional mismanagement on.
The reason the Chinook are listed as endangered is because the Dungeness is being intentionally mismanaged to do all the things the Jimmycomelately project decided not to do. The added Dungeness tributary uses more water not less and lowers the water level of both channels. The lower river level exposes the salmon to predator's. They constantly tread thru the lower tributary to deal with riffles and even take heavy equipment to move sediment that would have been filtered at Jimmycomelately. Hotel logs routinely scour the beds during storm flooding and wash up on the beach without ever breaking down to silt. They play with radio transmitters to track the salmon, when 50 years of science already went there. Sure its possible to lay salmon eggs in fast moving high grade locations further up the Dungeness. However the outcomes on the Dungeness have been predictably dismal by their own established science.
Its McGlothlin syndrome. Deal with property owners under the new science they don't have yet by creating high water tables to thwart septic and limit well use. Cheap sale or outright condemnation.
Its dastardly and unethical.
The tortfeasors are everyone who built and signed off on the Jimmycomelately science.
I have fished all the rivers-creeks from elwah to dungeness since the sixties and have seen the fish stocks decimated by tribal gillnetting which is allowed and encouraged by WDFW so the dept can send in endangered species act reports to fed govt for mass millions$$$ after netting season.The king salmon numbers have been on the endangered list for many years throughout the state but the gillnetting continues so hypocrite state can collect $$$.I am surprised wa sate has not been sued for it's corruption.
I just wrote on X:
@DOGE_INT BIA allows Tribes to ignore fishing laws that affect the rest. As such, in the PNW they decimate the salmon populations with gill nets and modern fish tracking techniques for profit, not sustenance. The WA Department of Fish and Wildlife encourages this practice so they can get more federal money to deal with it. THIS IS A SCAM! The Tribe's per-capita income is $360K/yr compared with the average of non-Tribal people being $62K. Please do something about this.
NOI I go crazy over this topic. Everyday people who want to fish, and actually can feed their family on 2 fish a day are disgusted with this practice of gill netting under the "sustenance" loophole. I can't fathom it. It's the pink elephant...Tribal fishing is starving the whales we have in the PNW by gill net fishing, then asking to be allowed to kill 2 whales a year for more unneeded sustenance? You are right, it is a scam under a guise.
The whales Makah are permitted to hunt are baleen whales and do not consume fish. I would also like to point out that there are 1.2 million recreational fisherman and only 140 WDFW officers. You do the math.
And I do apologize I just got home from work.
I like the idea of tribal members building log canoes and hunting the old way. I think its exciting to watch their culture in action. I would make a pay per view event out of it and have jet boats there to rescue tribal members that ran into trouble like the surfers in California..
Yeah, but the Orcas are literally starving from lack of salmon.
They NEED lots of King Salmon because they are the largest with the highest fat content.
I have witnessed the desperation of Orcas literally scouring the little kelp patches to flush out ANYTHING to eat.
I have seen 2 big bull Orcas trying to help an infant survive by holding it between their massive bodies and repeatedly going up and down so the baby could breathe and not drown...don't know what happened to the Mom...maybe she just had to go and forage for her own survival?
In the Sea of Cortez in the Baja the sea lions have taken to eating mostly bottom fish because their primary near-surface prey species are decimated.
Bottom fish take a LONG time to mature so not readily replaceable.
I am not a big fan of humanity but I love all you who participate in honest and open dialogue!
Cheers😜
They don't need the food. We need the whales.
I mentioned before that the 'natives' pride themselves on being able to 'trick' people. It's considered a high-art-form.
Not limited to the 'natives' of course. Wouldn't want to be racist.😊
I agree with you on everything except for how much money they make.. the casino states 24 million in revenue, the longhouse gas station, who really knows because they keep 75% of the gas tax charged to its citizens, they own a golf course, pot shop, a storage unit business, an internet company, a construction company, a bank, a physician clinic… and own a million acres in clallam and Jefferson county. Oh I forgot about the KOA they bought for 7 million using tax payer money, everything they have bought has been because of non tribal citizens.. and what do they give back to our town? Nothing, no school money, no road money, in fact every time they buy something we make up the difference by higher property taxes. Putting a casino in our town is just another slap in the face. They don’t pay out like other casinos do and they don’t pay their employees minimum wage. The government keeps giving them more and more ways to cause havoc. Was is weird that they were allowed to stay open during the most deadly pandemic known to man? They vote democrat, that’s why. I do t even understand why they are allowed to vote when they aren’t part of our country. They have their own land and government, why do they get both? And why are we responsible for the governments actions from 400 years ago? There is no one alive from that time so why do they get rewarded and we get punished?
There is also off-shore seining and scouring the sea beds which disrupt the entire food chain and which is out of sight!
'We've' thought about every way to 'get' stuff...as long as there's big profits involved.
The early settlers used to pitchfork the fish out of every stream and the 'native' fish traps blocked every mouth of every river and creek. I used to see the remnants especially up the coast of B.C.
Obviously some fish did get through...maybe the 'natives' even 'managed' the situation to allow enough fish to get through...we may never know.
In the 1700's a white man captured by the natives on Vancouver Island lived with them for a couple years because the chief needed him to fix the muskets they had been traded and to chronicle the egoic needs of the chief. (The man was the 'scribe' for the chief which had no written language but the chief saw the importance of having HIS majesty chronicled.)(Probably related to Ron Allen🤪)
Every year they would migrate upstream several miles to get away from the harsh coastal winters and they would carry all the food they could to Winter Camp.
In the Spring they would have a gluttonous feast so as to not have to carry a lot of (well seasoned) food with them, so they ate up everything they could...but when they returned to the coast there was no salmon run that year and the entire village almost starved to death...(this was before coal-fired power plants and Tesla's😜)
The villagers were superstitious and tried to have the white-guy killed as they believed his presence was why no salmon came.
It caused a lot of chaos and turmoil in the village and they nearly self-destructed.
No one knows why everything happens but shit happens and there is often nothing we can do about it.
But it's probably worth the struggle to try. 😊
It PAYS well! Money, prestige, position, power...same old temptations...same old behavior.
You notice no one is Asking us anything... but hoping we shut up and go away!
NGH (not gonna happen)🙅😊
This is national news that is only reported here. Can you tell me, a skeptic, where the Dungeness meets Jimmycomelately creek? Or this a reference to one method applied to Jimmycomelately creek but not to the Dungeness?
The later. Its flooding people out of their property because SERN does not want to pay fair market value.
The tribe claims to own a million acres in Jefferson and clallam County. All near creeks and Rivers and shorelines …now they have come out with data proving it will be flooded soon so they are allowed to move and take up more land in the county and out of the tax roll. The land can never be sold or developed. Look up “Jamestown land consolidation” use the “brave browser”
They changed things by joining and agreeing to build and serve an international government. Whatever they had and the reasons for what they had, will now have to endure a legal test after opting out of the Point No Point Treaty of 1855, to create a new treaty outcome. Apparently, having a BIA with billions to spend on an agency that can only be staffed by tribal members was not a good enough relationship so they had to enter into a new one to get reparations for the colonization that happened to them. What kind of attorney did they have that just said go ahead sign here...
It just keeps getting better and worser at the same time!😁
"CLEVER GIRL!" from Jurassic Park!
We've been flanked and spanked now we'll be yanked, Hank!🤓
Ok. Than you for your response. I am interested the science that you have gathered. Do you have a google or cloud stourage I maybe able to take a copy? I have seen aerial photos of the Longhouse property there does seem to be at least a second historical stream prior to the contruction of some sort of structure before the Tribe purchased it.
They got old man McGlothlin's property (Longhouse) for chump change, because the Jimmycomelately went right thru that property. They moved the entire creek and diverted a Dean creek tributary to then utilize property that was worthless. Now on the Dungeness they are back to the re-channeling science after saying the science had to be a certain way at Jimmycomelately. You can just google Jimmycomelately restoration and get the science they used. You can also google salmon spawning grade and get even more stuff. Jimmycomelately is based on 1971-2001 science, it just does not allow a property taking. So they are back to the policy that got them old Man McGlothlin's property. Its dastardly in my book maybe even criminal.
Sad but true. Lots of money flowing and activity happening. Lots of profits to be made off the public coffers. 0% wisdom.
Has anyone come across any 'society'/'civilization' that hasn't self-destructed...or been wiped out by some cosmic event? I didn't think so.
Thanks, John. Haters gotta hate, rulers gotta rule, fighters gotta fight!😎
If one really wants to know about the need for a reservoir one should ask the commissioners. They'll ask the tribe and we'll have our answer. And the commissioners will have campaign funds and NGOs. Problem solved.
Nailed it Harold. Gotta read between the lines on all their b.s.!😎
If jamestown tries to use 'salmon saving capabilities'as mentioned to try and get control of water rights then remind them it is their gillnetting practice that has decimated fish stocks in the dungeness river,so if tribe is so concerned about declining fish stocks then quit gillnetting but most of know that will not happen unless wa state elects a conservative governor which seems impossible.Billions of extra water flowing into ocean during winter months that could be collected.
The native king salmon stocks in the dungeness pretty much gone and not many coho natives left,this year a wdfw agent said this year was the lowest count of coho's that is including hatchery salmon but the netting continues.
They only produce Chum or 'Dog Salmon' at Dungeness hatchery. My understanding is that in the cycles of salmon runs the Chum provide more 'food value' in the chain for the other species as the others eat eggs and smolts and general nutrition provided by the Chum and their corpses. This I gleaned from the biologist at Dungeness hatchery a few years ago...I don't know why the other species are so weak in numbers but there is certainly human aspects to it all.
Whatever, the attempts to reverse the losses is not working too well.🙂
THEY DON'T CAAAARE!...BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE TO!
My hope and prayer is that a lot of people quickly get that we are not able to engage in reasonable dialogue with the rulers. This is a psyop! It has been underway for decades.
People are just now trying to come through cognitive dissonance to realize what the hell is happening. We have already been 'captured'. The only question is now do we have enough awareness and will to change things for the better. And what IS better?
Hopefully, TRUTH, JUSTICE, LIBERTY AND TOUGH LOVE🤔
Robert Is this the same as human gill netting?
Wow, good analogy...simpler! 🤓
One of the only good things about our area is that we are not at the top of Ecology's list at this point in time. Ecology identified WRIA 1 (Nooksack) and WRIA 58 (Upper Columbia) as top priorities for adjudication, with others like the Spokane River basins and Walla Walla River under consideration. The Dungeness watershed (WRIA 18) is not listed among the immediate priorities, though it’s been noted for future evaluation due for enhanced water management related to summer low flows and salmon habitat needs.
Follow the money is right. Economically, water rights are becoming a commodity. Private entities, like Crown Columbia Water Resources, have been buying up rights, particularly in the Columbia River basin, to create a private water market. This trend raises concerns about consolidation and price increases but reflects a broader shift toward treating water as a valuable asset in a water-stressed future. Critics worry this could prioritize profit over public access, while proponents argue it aids struggling farmers and conservation efforts.
Crown Columbia Water Resources, LLC is a Spokane Valley-based company formed in 2015 as a subsidiary of Petrus Partners Ltd., a New York City investment firm with roots in real estate and farmland ventures. Backed by capital from former Goldman Sachs partners, Crown Columbia has pursued an aggressive strategy to acquire water rights across Washington State. It has been said that Crown’s model prioritizes profit over public stewardship.....raising alarms about Wall Street-style speculation in a warming, drying West. Supporters argue it’s just smart business—helping farmers cash out and meeting growing demand. Detractors see a future where water, like housing, becomes a financialized asset.
PS: got most of this info by asking Grok (AI) on X.
This is insanity. Why not give our water right to a completely different country at that point. They would probably pay us for it instead of taking it.
Voting has consequences, folks. Similarly, refusing to be involved has consequences. Common sense folks who have not been involved in, or even staying informed of, these important issues has gotten us to where we are today. If people value what's left of their freeedom, they'll take action to be part of saving this area and this State for future generations. Otherwise, you may as well just sign your property over to the tribes and wait for them to kick you out of your home. That's where this is going. You can't really blame the tribes for this, because any group in their position would be doing the same thing which is the expansion and preservation of their group. The problem is we continue to encourage it, rather than temper it. The history of native tribes is full of territorial disagreements and conflict long before European settlers arrived. I guess being conquered is a pretty uncomfortable subject, but I don't think ever in history has the conquering group turned around and treated the conquered group so well. To show their appreciation, they seem to have made it their mission to take take a mile from ever inch they're given. From fisheries to industry and now water rights, tribal corporations have an inside track to government in addition to tax except status and grants up the kazoo. So, we're paying for embedded sovereign nations to expand and gain economic advantage over us within our our home. It really is insanity. Similar to the way Democrat elected officials continue to give more and more money to clearly partisan institutions such as PBS and NPR (as evidenced by recent congressional hearings) who in turn do everything they can to get them reelected by way of smearing conservatives and elevating liberals(and the cycle continues) the tribes have a similar agreement with these same elected officials. Did you happen to notice all the campaign signs in front of Tribal properties during the past (and all past) elections? Not a single conservative/Republican sign, all of them are liberal Democrats. Don't you ever ask yourself why that is? Its very simple: Ensuring and protecting each other's grip on power. Its a very human thing, and its these types of arrangements that breed corruption. Corruption, oh corruption, everywhere. Democrats represent the tribes, not the citizens they're sworn to represent. Wake up and get involved, if you care, before its too late.
You couldn’t have said it better for even people like me to completely understand what you are conveying. I have lived history, watched history, studied history and listened and read what my assessors wrote & fought for. Thank you for your post.
Why are you selling yourself short just to cosign?
Just to be clear, I'm pointing the finger at myself, also. I need to do better, and am making an effort to be involved.
https://clallamrepublicans.org/
I'm there every first Thursday. Hope to see you there!
Yes Christian, I think any effort is better than none. I don't attend meetings, or go to rally sessions or write letters (well, I do do that) but the fact that any of us have found this site has opened our minds. I feel involvement is private and we all get involved as we can. We don't need more guilt than we already carry.
Only if converting guilt to action gets us doing some-thing!😎
I believe subscribing to CCWD is a good first step, then the action will happen. As my father said, "When you get them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow"
Wow, Dad! When men were men!...now women are too! NOT!😊
Pain, if nothing else, gets our attention.
How to bring the pain to the local/global 'rulers' in the most humane way? Or any way at all, considering they are sociopaths.🤔
Don't forget their casino monopolies
The biggest issue is really that the 'rulers' have nothing else to do but scheme and plan and execute. It is their full time job...whereas 'We The People' have to make and create time out of our busy lives to try and counter.
They are HIGHLY organized...we are not.
We have the collective power but it is not focused.
We are divided, therefore conquered...for now.
What is happening to Us IS revolutionary.
I just spent 2+ hours of my morning replying, responding and sharing.
I would be a lot more hopeful if we had true journalistic media in the mainstream...but we don't.
So we do the best we can or know how to with whatever we've got to work with.
Blessings to all seekers of TRUTH, JUSTICE, LIBERTY AND TOUGH LOVE!😊
The conquering group did steal children tho. That's weird af. Do me a favor and look up the total native population of Clallam county compared to it's total population, then look at the a voter precint map. Demonstrate the collusion.
You want me to do the research for you to support your argument? That's weird af and lazy.
First, history is rife with examples of atrocities throughout the world in every culture. How do you determine which were justified and which were not? Every group of people were victims at some point in history. Which deserve your defense? After hundreds of years of violent conquest by islam, was it justified for Christians to wage holy crusades?
Anyway, you mention children. I'm glad you did. In order to establish how seriously I should take you, lets think about how morally consistency you are to ensure you're not simply using dead children as a tragic prop for your argument which you only elude to.
During the westward push of American settlers, it was common practice for native tribes to abduct American children. Do you defend that practice? Which instances of stealing children is worse? Most of the graves that were examined showed blunt force trauma as the cause of death for men, women, and children. Who's murder or abduction of children was worse? [https://listverse.com/2017/11/05/10-pioneer-children-abducted-by-native-americans-who-refused-to-go-home/]
Between the years 2010 and 2022, around 7,875,000 (nearly the entire population of NYC) babies were killed via "legal" abortion. The vast majority, 99%, were not medically necessary and were performed out of convenience. Do you support that abortion be used as birth control? Oh, and it should be mentioned that planned parenthood is tax payer funded (so we're paying for the murder of the next generation)and created by a racist woman who believed in controlling the population through abortion for primarily blacks. “Eugenics is … the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political and social problems.” Margaret Sanger. [https://www.statista.com/statistics/185274/number-of-legal-abortions-in-the-us-since-2000/][https://aleteia.org/2020/07/25/the-complicated-legacy-of-planned-parenthood-founder-margaret-sanger]
Due to the open border policies of the Biden administration, over 300,000 chidren have gone missing. How many have been raped, murdered, or tortured then murdered for adrenochrome? Do you think this is wrong? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/ice-unable-to-track-nearly-300k-immigrant-children-dhs-report/ar-AA1ptdYQ
I could go on...
We don't even have to go into the attempt of certain groups to normalize pedophelia, or the Jeffrey Epstein child rape network that involved some of the most powerful and well known people in the world, including many Hollywood "stars". We also don't need to bring up the current crisis of children of all ethicities being caught in the crossfire of criminal cartels or the dysfunctional lives of their downstream customer base of homeless and poverty stricken people in which children are an all too common victim of cirucmstance.
So, yes lots of children are victimized and its tragic that we as a society don't protect them better. Are you as serious about protecting the children that are currently alive, or do you focus your outrage only towards historical evils?
I guess I would be generally curious what you do to help and/or protect the children of the current generation. Is your argument simply using children as a prop? I hope not, because that's a really bad look. It is selective outrage to attempt to score points or genuine concern?
To your last point, you're basically supporting my argument, which is that having a nation within a nation is crazy and we'd be better if we just said "enough is enough" and formally dissolved the whole racket. One nation under God. We're all Americans and should all be working towards a brighter future for all citizens. Continuing to separate us by groups will only keep us divided. Maybe that's uncomfortable but it's true. The status quo isn't helping the tribal communities, it has created dependence and complacency which fuels alcoholism, drug abuse, neglect and criminal behavior. The billions of our tax dollars, per year, that are sent aren't helping them, some of it isn't even getting to them. [https://www.gao.gov/blog/funding-and-programs-meant-help-tribes-may-not-be-reaching-them.]If that funding stopped, could they survive? The we allow this to continue, the more children will suffer and be victimized. If you're serious about protecting children, you'd want law and order, secure borders, One Nation under God, stiff sentencing for criminals to create deterrence, and other common sense ways to address the problem. Look around you: "Restorative justice" is a failure. Funding tribes is a failure. Bloated bureuacracy is a failure. Government spending is out of control. Democrats have run this state for 40 years and our problems have only increased in number and magnitude.
I am single white male who is sharing half the responsibility for the care of my 88 year old grandpa while juggling graduate school to be a nurse practitioner. It is arduous and time consuming, so I would not dare bring a child into the mess that is my life. The emotional neglect alone pains me. However, I was a mentor with King County boys and girls club in my early twenties but other than that I am not sure if have the same absolute power and authority over the the entire population of children in this country as you do. I do however encourage my friends who are gifted with families of their own to bring their kids with them when we hang out since their children are part of them and now part of mine too. I beleive I will have lived well.
That's that.
So, you do jump around a lot, but in your defense I did set you off with a zinger. But, you got one leg in and out of the pawn shop, ma'am. So to summarize you were saying you were asleep at the wheel and that a tribal takeover is inevitable, then waded into the conquering thing when you had a lightbulb moment about how suddenly well the native populations were treated so well (and thats when I did the zinger). Then you had a forray into treaty righs providing unfair economic advantages, NPR & PBS, then alleging that the politcal relationship between tribes and liberal Democrats fosters corruption evidence by only seeing such sign in their yards (and thats weird af that you know where they all live). Anecdote to anecdote, you are probably 90% right cuz you would not beleive the shit some natives say about immigrants and George Floyd.
At last, I want to respond to the tangent. I will lean into the whatboutism however becuase you do conclude that we are one nation. But first I want to point out that open ended questions aren't arugments (not at all good jouranlism or reporting) they are admissions that you know you have no answer to nor did you want to. Yeah, all that was shitty. There also isn't not just one Native American Nation. I leave you too google how many seperate treaties there, and why they are called treaties specifically. But in the end there was America and its long standing policy of assimilation which did include the abduction of children into the 1960's. Thats about the time frame of the Civil Rights Movement, the MLK kind, the AIM kind. And fun fact thats the last time there was an actualy supermajority in all three branches of government (I hope you know that one because that will help you understand who has the powers to make treaties)
Girl, then you are back to the jumping. Somehow you drew a line from historical atrocities to abortions, Planned Parenthood, paedophiles and back to tribal soverignty even after all those open ended questions like the past is something unknowable or perhaps esoteric. If they are trapped in a cycle due to dependence what would you think the purpose of the Healing Clinic Jamestown built? I remind you that it wasn't built solely for natives. Tribal funding seems like its a resounding success when a tribe use it to imporve its own healthcare, education and economic development. Curtail soome protections, and Clallam county would still be in the same economic mess.
And I know you think this states a failure to Democratic Leadership but outside of these economicaly depressed counties. More Republican States receive more from the federal government than they remit in taxes. So I leave you to check those poverty rates out for yourself.
I would be suspect of the church you attend becuase I am willing to bet that where you worship, Jesus himself walked out to get a gallon of milk and cigarettes and never looked back.
God Bless, y'all.
And THAT is one big nutshell!...truth is often uncomfortable and sometimes intolerable to some...but it's still the truth...and it matters because Christian's share is at the core of all the other woes and troubles we are talking about.
We can't separate our Spiritual/Psychological selves from what we are a part of here on 'Urantia', another name for Earth. We consider ourselves a the 3rd planet from the Sun... Counting it from the outer approach and counting Pluto...we are number 7 in order.
An objective view.
Another perspective to stretch the consciousness a bit. If you are a Sun-worshipper our normal world view makes sense. If you become a God-As-Source of All person... then you can begin to imagine a different and unlimited reality!
God is HUGE!😆
Good thing we're not our bodies!🤓
GO Christian!😁
I got go to take granpa to his gereontology appointment but I will respond to this, Girl-with-one-leg-does-a-lot-of-jumping.
Kevin, why can't you do it? I would love to see what you come up with.
https://data.census.gov/profile/Clallam_County,_Washington?g=050XX00US53009
https://www.clallamcountywa.gov/166/Maps-of-Precincts-Districts
Heres the data. I'm not baby feeding you.
Now lay it out as clear and clean as Jeff does for you
Does he think for you? You don't need a man like that.
You have to want to know, Kevin. If all you do is apologize, you can't see the bigger picture of what is happening to ALL OF US as the NWO rolls out their plan for massive population reduction and total control of all humans! Maybe you want that...if so, I hope you don't get what you want. The 'tribe' is being used as proxy for the Complete takeover of resources including human resources...it has NOTHING to do with the proportion of native-to-white residents...'the tribe' is 'the queen' in chess, being played by forces far beyond your current level of understanding...do some research of your own...if not you're just 'trolling'.😎
This comment I made responding to K. was a waste of creative time and energy. Just wanted to acknowledge that.🙂
Do have anything that is verifiable tho? Cuz local and international cooperation and open-ended questions are not giving me soylent green.
Every single human group on the planet has been enslaved, raped, genocided, etc.
Why do you think so many end up living in the extremes of the Arctic, desert, high altitude, isolation...escaping persecution. No one went to live in those places cause it was what they wanted. What they wanted was to be left the hell alone to live in peace...not gonna happen!
NO POOR INDIANS! Wake UP!
Not justifying maltreatment... just saying putting us on the sharp end of maltreatment isn't going to solve anything.
Put your 'white guilt' to rest and get involved, however you can in what is useful and meaningful to those you care about.😊
Correct. Mormons didn't not want to leave up state New York, and no one was thriving in the arid South West. Africans just wanted to be left alone.
Spending money in county coffers to take away land "owners" rights is just plain wrong. Over building, piping ditches, metering wells exacerbates the problem. Does no one remember that Sequim was a desert, complete with cactus, before irrigation ditches? This local laissez Faire is going to destroy us.
That's the POINT!🤪
FEMA funding — for as long as FEMA exists, anyway. I just read this week the federal government plans to dismantle FEMA.
Not true
Why?
Cuz it isn’t defunded…
https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5213057-noem-plans-eliminate-fema/
Noem: “And we’re going to eliminate FEMA.”
https://youtube.com/shorts/4x18ULXwrP0?si=YE1nNZ_6c8lqVKgX
Show me!😊
WORST case the funds go to the STATES to fund THEIR preparations. Seems smart to me. All the resources for particular disasters in situ.
Oh come on, some left wing web site will say anything...
When we began our search for a home on the OP and learned that the water in a private well was subject to metering and restrictions, we re-focused our search where this would not be an issue.
We relocated from an arid area and are conservation minded. We were also surprised that nearly every toilet we have used on the OP outside of our own home has been of the 5 gal per flush variety. So, whatever we are being told about the need to conserve water, the actions tell a different story.
It’s all about taking control of the one thing everyone needs.
The disappearing salmon seems to be a scam and a distraction because they use it for everything. FEMA doesn’t even want to hear about it, lol. MThe tribe gets their more than fair share of the salmon like everyone knows and is well aware of the netting done in their boats no one else can afford. It’s not at all about fish. Example, science says the proposed oyster fields in Dungeness Bay have destroyed salmon populations elsewhere so why would we go against the science & destroy the salmon that the tribe cares so much about and proceed to install oyster beds in Dungeness Bay? It is about control and whoever controls the river and the water has the power to control, period. The comparisons of science on one river years ago and the management of one river verses the neighboring river of opposite management shows it’s not about science or fish.. Another example is It was all about the fish and fry habitat that was used to keep a county road, Towne Road, closed permanently. We can talk, complain, and discuss but we have to show up, stand up, speak up unfortunately because our elected government officials are in it for their own reasons and what the people want doesn’t make the grade…..evidence no “NAY”….if anyone heard a “Nay” please let me know.
Paper Salmon!
We apparently have all the water we could ever use around 900 feet below our feet.
P.U.D. just tapped the '3rd aquifer' last year but as you may surmise it takes a lot of energy to bring volumes of water to our needs, so no more 'cheap' water available for us. The surface run-off and upper aquifer are obviously fragile and probably unsustainable with the growth happening now.
The NWO pegs sustainable human populations at 500,000,000 or 1/2 billion so that's their goal for what we can expect if they prevail and right now they are indeed prevailing.
Left to unlimited growth and industrial development we will self-destruct sooner than later.
Either way we will be remembered by the 'Thin Black Line' we leave behind in the geology of the planet.
So eat, drink and be merry while you still can!😎
Screw the NWO! Earth is doing just fine with more than 10x that number of humans. Their climate alarmism is pure fiction and all their population control is based on that. The way the politicians deal with this topic is to tax us more and strip us of our rights, in the name of the Climate Emergency, narrative.
This is true !
Dinosaurs?
After I watched the attached youtube video about the "summons" to fill out the water usage sheet, I'd bet dollars to donuts we'll see that here in Clallam County! Also, we already "know" the answer to who will own the water rights for the reservoir! My "wild guess" is JKT!
Great work Jeff. I had a bad feeling about this and, sadly, it looks like our county is following the footsteps of Whatcom after all. Pretty messed up that FEMA is actually schooling these politicians to defraud the government. I.m going to do some posting on X...maybe I can get the attention of someone{s} who are trying to make the fed more accountable. Geez.
Thanks for sharing the article. I appreciate it.
The criminals in the state of Oregon have been ruthlessly attacking their folks water rights for many months and debatably years now, as they have been attempting to choke off the country folks & small farmers and ranchers to starve them from their own human rights to water and life itself. The criminals in the state of Idaho started to attack their folks water rights, especially the farmers and ranchers in the Southern part of the state last year, to choke them off of their water rights to starve them from their own human rights to water and life itself. The criminals in the Washington state government passed COMPLETELY evil unconstitutional laws that were always intended to starve people out of their rights to water about 10 years ago and at that time they claimed that; "they were not going to enforce their laws at that time"~! There is no drought in the Pacific Northwest and the lies about that "fake science" so-called news are without doubt intended to trick the sleeping sheep about the governments dastardly evil satanic plans to kill as many people as possible and drive the rest into cities! 15-minute cities where your rights and freedoms will no longer exist and the criminals in government will dictate everything~! It is LONG past time to throw these evil corrupt monsters in prison for the rest of their miserable lives~! These are the same criminals of humanity who knowingly conducted the mass murder democide of the COVID and deadly fake "vaccine" crimes against humanity, so they ALL qualify for US Military Tribunals for their treason and crimes against humanity ASAP~! Where is the US Military??? It would be better to see the US Military do their duty, before the REAL American Patriots are forced to defend themselves from these horrific crimes that these criminals in government have very clearly been long planning~! Enough is enough~! M
Wasn’t it Rupert Murdoch that coined the term “blue gold” in the early 2000’s?
Anybody else recall that water is now a commodity traded on the stock market?
Beware Sequim, as I have stated in the past, what I observe unfolding here is the exact path that was successfully executed upon the citizens of Lahaina.
https://e360.yale.edu/digest/wall-street-begins-trading-water-futures-as-a-commodity
Our lives are traded on the 'dark' market through our SSI numbers...we each have an assigned fiscal value...our local and state gov'ts also listed and traded on...we have been a corporatocracy for many years. EVERYTHING is commoditized. Except Source...can't bottle that...yet.😎
One need only read about water rights in California and other arid/semi arid areas like Eastern WA. to realize how important they are. Water rights are a source of inordinate wealth. I see our area weather as a magnet for those intelligent enough to research it. No weather extremes in the form of heat, cold or weather events like hurricanes & tornados. We have a huge natural water reservoir in the form of the Olympic mountain range, but the fickle nature of it's availability makes water storage a wise investment IMHO. As important as water is to all life, it is time to face the reality that not just water, but wildlife populations, including fish & timber, and human populations are inversely proportional. As human populations increase, all other forms of life decrease. Human over-population is a formidable challenge that can no longer be ignored. More area development requires more resources in their innumerable forms.
