Great review, Jeff, with more detail and explanations. The Food Bank numbers are the primary stats that should concern everyone. While Comm. Ozias probably reported the data to indicate the Food Bank was able to meet the needs of the community, he failed to address the alarm blaring in the room. If a community is that needy, what is wrong in the community? Families are struggling because of high gas prices, high food prices, high taxes, unending fees, and unemployment. Seniors are losing their homes because of high and increasing taxes? He failed to address the WHY in his report. There is nothing to be proud of here. And WHY is the problem increasing with all of his socialist implementations? How did our simple county come to be unaffordable to so many?

He doesn't care about the "why," he just wants more grants and funding from taxation. That's all he ever talks about.

Demand causes property values to rise and an increase in population increases the price of real estate. Too many Americans are addicted to government subsidies hence we import slave labor from the struggling Third World and they occupy real estate. In addition once females entered the workforce they achieved more power but now the price of labor for both sexes has diminished. That is what I think.

What a great potpourri of the dysfunctions in our society, Jeff. This should be a wakeup call to all.

How much is WA (and the US) spending on these food banks, opiates, partisan road projects, and more? What if it all went, instead, into funding mental hospitals in each state to get these problematic people off the streets. Local charities could help people temporarily down on their luck, to get back to functioning in society. Isn't that how it is supposed to work? And NO CAMPING/LOITERING WITHIN COUNTY LIMITS would go a long way toward clearing our sidewalks and making is inconvenient for those that choose this lifestyle of drug abuse. THAT is how you solve the "homeless problem", not throwing money at it through politicians who pocket it and perpetuate the problem for even MORE funds next year. It is clear to me, to you, and to everyone who reads about it, yet the problem continues because it enriches politicians.

What will change it? Enough of us complaining to politicians, creating citizens' initiatives, and voting the corruption out of office. Yes, I get it, you vote out 10, and get back 9, but it goes in the right direction, unlike now. AND, be sure to VOTE IN EVERY ELECTION! Too many people get lackadaisical, especially in primary and midterm elections. Folks, we can't afford that anymore. Jeff shows us the result of it.

Good question, although probably mostly hypothetical... There is a dark history to these big old State Hospitals.. Still not covered up on our currently allowed media, yet. It doesn't take a Jimmy the Greek to to figure out that if this was currently done as you suggest - guess who would be thrown into them ?

That is a real concern. Transparency with inspections by anyone anytime especially by responsible citizens, if we can find them. Make the mental hospitals not too difficult to leave. Perhaps send the real criminally insane, after many reviews and input by many various interests to special units at real prisons.

First, identify and get rid of those in the mental health field who are charlatans. There are a bunch. Make an example of them with severe actions. I’m thinking executions.

Be advised, much of that old evil in institutions is currently being done to people who are not in a mental hospital. It’s simple to identify the perps.

Time to revisit Nuremberg. The globalists and Democrats are now a cult, a criminal cabal creating victims a la “Stalin’s Chicken” style. They found some history most of us have forgotten (Tenement House Acts, Teddy Roosevelt and Samuel Gompers, and Jacob Riis) and have reversed the good to make people sick, crazy, violent, criminal, and dependent on government.

Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy

Dependency is power for them.

Start talking “crimes against humanity.” My indictment of the CDC, Centers for Disease Control of America and Prevention of Truth, should be all you need for a start. Millions of indoor exhaled CO2 damaged and dead children and adults (not including abortions) while the FBI and “The Law” looked the other way.

Let some people know their “just following orders” will not cut it this time either.

Come down hard on all the public health types for the cover up and damage. On their facilitators and protectors too, especially the media and anyone censoring the facts, the truth.

Don’t forget those who have been lying about the climate and using fear to force higher exhaled CO2 in tighter poorly ventilated buildings, which is a false savings of energy. It causes us to use more as explained in the link.

conspAIRacy.com/evilcdc.html

What are the attributes of a cult? No disagreements allowed. Why are Dems in Congress always voting in lockstep with the exception of when their vote doesn’t matter and they need to fool the folks back home? Then there’s sacrificing children. Add making children pass through the fire. Their innocence is not protected; it’s trashed. Real men and women would not trouble children with climate change even if it were true. They wouldn’t throw all the sex stuff at them so early or use the power of suggestion to make them question their own sexuality during a normal time of confusion. They wouldn’t harangue them about college or create worse than useless majors and cripple them with fraudulent debt. All techniques to get and keep them in the cult.

Surgeons and doctors have been acting very stupidly. They have allowed the insurance companies and government to take over. They are afraid. “First, do no harm” is now a joke. Do what the cult says even abortions and gender mutilation of children.

conspAIRacy.com/theconspirators.html

Examine the so-called “crowding” or “overcrowding” experiments. “Universe 25” is often cited. They were all faulty. The CO2 level was not controlled or even mentioned. It is possible to have extreme crowding with low CO2. How do we know that? On the other hand, high CO2 with only a few individuals creates the same problems.

@Jeff Tozzer - Great ensemble of issues!

It is clear Clallam has a consistent trend of ineptitude and incestuousness between the County Government, NGOs and the Tribe. The cozy "under the table" relationships between these groups certainly does not best serve the common taxpayer.

When Clallam is compared to some other like sized counties, we fall short on so many levels as we fail to take the necessary and hard steps to bring about true solutions!

As long as we try to serve three masters (the liberal WA state rule makers, the struggling Taxpayers and the rich and demanding Tribe), this County will never perform!

Marolee’s article is a worthy read. It did educate me that there are ways to address the “business of homelessness” and how to go about it. Obviously what is done now isn’t working. She comes forward with solutions and ideas that I can agree with.

No Enemies

by Charles Mackay

You have no enemies, you say?

Alas! my friend, the boast is poor;

He who has mingled in the fray

Of duty, that the brave endure,

Must have made foes! If you have none,

Small is the work that you have done.

You've hit no traitor on the hip,

You've dashed no cup from perjured lip,

You've never turned the wrong to right,

You've been a coward in the fight.

There can be no equality until all residents/constituents have the same rights. Those under the protection of treaty entitlement not only have full U.S.A. citizenships rights, but additional rights above and beyond all other citizens. This disparity is the sustenance of a never ending war that was thought to be already waged. You need only consider the absurdity of the treaty entitled exercising their ancestral, usual and accustomed practice of operating casinos to see what a charade this Native American / BIA / environmental steward fallacy is. Friends, neighbors, brothers and sisters or sovereign, BUT NOT BOTH ! A significant component of the success of human evolution is genetic mutation. Glitches or imperfections in the reproduction of the parent genes provides diversities that can and do excel in differing environments far better than the parent genes might. Conversely, those gene glitches or imperfections also are often not able to survive in their native environment. Regardless of the compassion, effort, money and/or resources we invest, we can neither stop genetic mutation nor can we stop it's results. A deer with a broken leg does not live long, while a broken human is showered with compassion that extends their lack of quality of life existence. Compassion is not always compassionate.

Geoff Fox, Yuppers, you hit that nail on the head!

Entitlement (psychology)

Legal and psychological term – a sense of being owed something without cause

Overview

In psychology, entitlement mentality is defined as a sense of deservingness or being owed a favor when little or nothing has been done to deserve special treatment; the belief that one is inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment (the phrase "sense of entitlement" is often used).

The climate is now, and always has been, changing, slowly but surely.

What is it about liberal enablers that deadens them to common human behaviors?

I worked at a very well paying job and one of my co-workers was also a a member of the city council. He would routinely come to work with bags of food, huge blocks of cheese and other groceries that he obtained through the local welfare office. He would leave these items in the common lunch room to share with the rest of the staff. He could well afford to pay for food but instead saw "free" food as an opportunity not to be missed. I saw it as stealing.

Andra Smith needs to take a long hard look at reality vs ideology. She also should report monthly, not annual food bank access--one visit a year does not a need make.

One day, a man was walking down the street and sees a dog on a porch that was just sitting there, whimpering, whining and moaning.

The man was curious as to why he was whimpering, so he went and knocked on the door and a guy came out and said, “Yes, how may I help you?” He said, “Sir, is this your dog?” “Yes, that’s my dog.” “Well, what’s wrong with him?” The owner of the dog said, “What do you mean?” “Well, he’s sitting here moaning and groaning.” The owner said, “Well, he’s actually sitting on a nail.” He said, “What! Your dog is sitting on a nail. Why doesn’t he get off?” “Well, it just doesn’t hurt him enough.”

By using “climate resilience” they avoid the requirement of proving man-made CO2 caused climate change. “The climate is changing, don’t you know?” The media and the left harp constantly, and now we must obey and deal with the imaginary consequences without having to bother with that rascally cause. Sweet!

What if we can connect the push for “climate resilience” to causing homelessness, mental and physical illness, and violence way before the term “climate resilience” was coined? I can and have.

conspAIRacy.com/blog.html#homeair

conspAIRacy.com/blog.html#ashtrays

In conclusion -

I am certain we are being played by people with evil intentions. They are against nuclear while claiming we face an “existential threat” from man-made CO2 caused global warming. They won’t address the harm higher exhaled CO2 is doing indoors in tighter poorly ventilated homes, schools, etc., in fact they deny any harm and manufacture phony reasons to try to explain away the harm.

Nor will they examine whether tighter buildings are a false savings. In my piece about the evil CDC, I explain how it causes more not less energy use.

Perhaps the crown jewel is “peer review,” which was implemented at the same time global warming and energy lies were invented to force tighter building harm. It is ‘prior to publication’ censorship designed to keep their lies from being exposed.

There are no “greenhouse gases” because earth is not a greenhouse. No gas makes a greenhouse warm unless it’s the propane in the heaters, otherwise it’s the greenhouse GLASS that can make a greenhouse warm. No gas has the properties of that glass, nor does the earth.

It’s the solid nature of glass and rigidity of the glass walls and roof that keeps the wind, snow, rain, etc. out while allowing light to pass through but blocking infrared radiation, IR, from escaping to the atmosphere.

The earth has no rigid walls like a greenhouse. The atmosphere expands and contracts. Wind, snow, etc. can pass through CO2 molecules in the atmosphere, even more easily when the air expands with warming.

Three bands representing about 15% of the IR spectrum are involved when talking about CO2 versus 100% for glass. It is claimed that the CO2 absorbs the IR electromagnetic radiation in the 3 bands. These are the wavelengths or frequencies at which the carbon-oxygen bonds in CO2 resonate, are excited. Excitation suggests motion. Motion is not heat. What would be the source of friction within the CO2 molecule to generate heat and radiate IR?

“Greenhouse gas” is a corruption of language, the kind the left is famous for. “Atmospheric rivers” and “King tides” are two more of late. Then there’s the old standby, “gun violence.” Again, there are no such things. They are concocted to deceive, panic, and stampede.

The earth was once super hot (estimated at 3,680 degrees Fahrenheit) and the air was mostly CO2 (all the carbon had been burned, incinerated, cremated, oxidized into CO2). If CO2 causes warming, the earth could not have cooled, ever.

Even if CO2 works as advertised, it cannot cause warming in a cooling period. It would only be able to make a small impact if there was already warming.

Time to revisit Nuremberg. The globalists and Democrats are now a cult, a criminal cabal creating victims a la “Stalin’s Chicken” style. They found some history most of us have forgotten (Tenement House Acts, Teddy Roosevelt and Samuel Gompers, and Jacob Riis) and have reversed the good to make people sick, crazy, violent, criminal, and dependent on government.
