I have never seen or received any comments from Eric Fehrmann that were anything but polite and completely justified under the circumstances~! When considering the proven comments from Danny Steiger of Habitat for Humanity however, I do note his clear unmistakable effort to dictate how & where "we" (Those using The Watchdog forum and others who are exercising their free speech rights) discuss the issues that we wish~! Hogwash~! Steiger comes off as a small-time "mini dictator" who is obviously attempting to control the narrative, and most Americans are sick and tired of being pushed, bullied, bashed and controlled by Individuals who are, for one reason or another, attempting to force them to be obedient & compliant slaves. I also note an undertone that could be even more nefarious and alarming that is hidden within Steigers seemingly "polite & professional" (facade) of "instructions" to those who value The Watchdog and their freedom of speech. Unintended consequences? Safety? Really? When added to the obviously "negative spin" that was intentionally devised & spewed by the local Habitat for Humanity management, that claimed that the meeting in question was somehow "hostile and disruptive", I see a potentially FAR darker agenda. Is Habitat and Steiger intentionally painting this meeting as a negative one, even though it was likely completely friendly & cordial, in some sort of childish effort to prevent any further meetings, questions, or good folks from keeping an eye on what is really happening behind all of the gaslighting that "we" (the folks of Clallam County) have been flooded by~? More importantly, is Steiger and Habitat plotting to intentionally cause some sort of damage or disruption to their own project, so that they can falsely and knowingly blame those of us who are obviously bothersome to their shady operations~? A classic "False Flag" set up~? A brutal and evil underhanded attempt to frame those of us who are just doing our duty as Americans, so we can be silenced~? I know that many good folks would not see that potential or even understand just how often the "False Flag attack" ploy is played against society, but many of us are wise to it now. As an analyst I have seen the infamous "False Flag Attack" ploy being used by government, big business, and even the small-time criminals within communities everywhere. I have known of many times that the US government has deployed a "False Flag Attack" against Americans in our short history as a country. The evil head of the CIA even tried to get JFK to agree to conduct a "Falsa Flag Attack" upon innocent Americans in Florida long ago, just so that we (Americans) would be drawn into a war with Cuba (and probably The Soviet Union). Anyway, we need to be highly vigilant because there are many criminals at all levels of society who are well aware of ways to create chaos for their criminal goals, and the unsuspecting good folks are really quite helpless against such evil ploys because they are FAR from their conscious level of thinking... In any case, I see Steiger's "suggested instructions" as not only highly manipulative but deeply disturbing because of the way that they were intentionally set up, designed and delivered~! We shall keep on learning, discussing anything that we please, as we please, and doing out duty as Americans~! The people at Habitat for Humanity would do well to respect that this (our community) is OUR "humanity habitat" and NOT theirs to control in any way~! Sincerely, Mike

If HFH does not like to be questioned about foul play then don't do it,or maybe upper brass is so simple minded they keep forgetting about the weary C.C. watchdog group.

Great comment Patriot Jeff Swegle~!

Although your remark is perfect common sense from sane people's point of view, it is my experience that these clowns who work for government and the various NGO's shill organizations of government are actually hired to specifically violate the laws, Constitution, and the public trust all as an instrumental and well understood part of their jobs~! I was born into and worked in the old school world of Professional Personnel management, so I have a unique understanding of how these games really work. Anyone can read the various job descriptions, when they are available to them, and the majority of folks would assume that they are "normal" run of the mill outlines of any specific job opening. However, when the individual applicant is being given their final interview and obviously when they start work, they are only then personally briefed upon the REAL job that they are expected to do and just exactly how they are to do it~! So, the process is a trap for the ignorant well intentioned and a "welcome mat" for the criminally inclined (especially psychopaths) who will do anything for a paycheck~! Therefore "we" in the general public become angry when these criminals and thieves play all of these underhanded games, but the Individuals who are committing these shady acts actually are doing what they were hired to do and told to do by all sorts of evil criminals who are too cowardly to be easily identified personally. Basically, the entire world has been operating this way, with few exceptions, until recently when President Trump and the white hats (The global alliance) started to make their long-planned moves to "drain the swamp"~! This is exactly why there is such an enormous fight against President Trump and the folks behind him, even though the vast majority of Americans are fully behind their efforts~! It is the minority causing all of the trouble, because they have very intentionally infiltrated our government and positions of power for many decades... Yes, the process is very confusing, with all sorts of fake news and fraudulent accusations flooding our world, but that is really what is happening ;-) Most people just believe "The Swamp" is small, however nothing could be further from the truth and that is precisely why this process is taking so long. When the dust settles, hopefully soon, much of what has really been going on will be revealed and the vast majority of folks will be absolutely STUNNED at what has transpired and just how close "we" (humanity) came to a total wipeout, because these criminals are FAR more deadly and dangerous that most ever thought in their worst nightmares~! It is my analysis that everything is actually going much better than the media or these low-level criminals would have you believe, and the criminals of humanity will be destroyed with many of them ending up in prison or executed for their crimes against humanity and treason. I don't know what fate is awaiting our local criminals, but I would not trade places with them for all the money in the world because one way or another they are completely screwed~! I don't think they even know how much trouble that they are in and what is headed for them, so I find that VERY amusing and a constant source of humor ;-) We just need to remain patient, keep things lawful (Constitutional) and keep the pressure on these "jerk weeds" as much as possible~! We should also stock up on tar & feathers just in case! Ha! Ha! Ha! Have a great week and enjoy this beautiful community and area that we are all blessed to live in~!!! Sincerely, Mike

Thank you very much Patriot Denise Lapio~!

It is always great to hear from you :)

I imagine that the criminals of humanity are not so "happy" these days because they must see that more & more folks are getting sick of their evil nasty underhanded games, and it is only a matter of time before they are faced with the public backlash that they fear most in this world. They all had their "fun" and countless chances to do right by humanity, so soon the tides will change, and they will be paying the terrible price for their crimes and treason. It will be ALL their fault~! They have made all the rules, so soon we shall use their rules against them to eliminate them and their evil underhanded ways~! Be well and enjoy every day as much as possible ;-) Sincerely, Mike

A couple of comments/questions.

I was under the impression that HFH had already used the services of JST but Danny responded to a post of mine yesterday that they haven't. It looks like the project will be open to bidding for all aspects of work.

Does HFH restrict who can be "awarded" these residences, as in if they are designed to help the housing crunch we have then will only someone who are living locally be eligible for a residence? If so, how local does one need to be?

If readers are asked to use appropriate channels if they have concerns, what are those channels?

When I visited the Habitat for Humanity construction site in Port Angeles last winter, I was met, at the entrance gate, by the site supervisor and asked what I was doing there. I do not remember his name. I was invited to the site by Ben Bower to see and hear his thoughts on the positive impact this project and other efforts of Habitat were having on the community. I did so and injected my thoughts on adhering to regulations regarding open bidding on taxpayer funded projects.

Ben came to the gate, where we were standing and we introduced ourselves. He invited me to look over the site, which I declined, having worked in the building trades and am familiar with this type of construction. I do not recall the exact wording of our discussion but do remember some disagreement, sometimes heated, about tax funding and government grants to nonprofits in general and Habitat specifically.

At the climax of our meeting, we all shook hands and seemed to have parted with a mutual respect for each other’s views. I left with respect for the work that Ben and his coworker perform and their contribution to the original stated goals of the project and Habitat for Humanity in general.

I was stunned when Danny Steiger later accused me of being confrontational and impeding the progress of construction of the project. I have never been contacted by Steiger.

Mr. Fehrman did his civic duty and met with a knowledgeable person who was trying to be civic minded himself. Why is that wrong? That meeting was a good start to bridging the lack -of -trust chasm. But VP Stiegler thought it necessary to halt the process under false pretenses? Once again greedy entities saw an opportunity for a grift and took it. The casualties in this county from lack of accountability and transparency will be huge. Thank you, Jeff, for this much needed update. Ugh!

This carlsborg 'low income housing project' that habitat for humanity is involved with has many red flags popping up because lack of transparency.My guess is this going to be a project that will get clallam county taxpayers tied to because of certain elected officials that do not have enough foresight to see the expensive implications down the road for the taxpayers.It is possible 'low income qualifications could mean people that do not work and will get free living expenses and any savvy person knows the trouble that will come with this type of environment because we have witnessed the issues from similar past projects.If this happens it will be a bad move for HFH and will bring mass negative feedback.If HFH wants respectable feedback then stick to affordable housing projects for workers that 'pay property taxes'.Some clallam county officials are being influenced into supporting these homeless,drug addict,transgender ect ect ect issues that will cost taxpayers more than most can afford.Rumor has it wa state is in the process of passing new laws that will have facilities to administer drugs to addicts for free at taxpayers expense.These drug addicts will need free housing and drug mat clinics does this ring a bell.Ignorant radicals have ruined big cities now they are working on small cities that have ignorant elected D.A.

The word "WORKERS" should follow all references to "Low-income", to avoid giving tax money to bums and addicts.

According to Ben Bower people should look the other way because Habitat's doing so much good in the county. Also according to him if the people want things done legally they should find a volunteer with legal expertise to "ensure accountability and compliance". These statements are exactly why questions are being asked.

More public money into NGO and private hands. The whole situation stinks. Secrecy, no accountability, stonewalling. Where are the County prosecutors who are supposed to gurad against misuse of public funds? What is the justification for $800,000 of our money going to a private group? Who qualifies for this affordable housing? At what cost?

The Democrats make it a career to double and even triple down on public positions. They are very creative and have a great ability to lie to themselves and the public. At the end of the day we know Pitch-it (Paul Pickett) chalks everything up to Republican talking points that can be ignored. The BIA has tribal housing combined with HUD. People need to go after the federal pile for tribes if they are going to have to make and pay for a local pile for tribes.

Habitat for Heroin is a "charity" and should be treated as such, with volunteer donations, not tax money. Otherwise, this is forced contribution to charities we may not approve of.

Why donate so much, why should tax payers pay for low income housing, Jefferson county donated $10,000 to HFH. Our commissioners are out of touch with the needs and expectations of the majority population. Helping homeless, supplying narcotics, and all the paraphernalia for the drug addicted homeless people in our county is not where I want my tax dollars is going..

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind it if a government or non-profit helps keep the S'Klallam's bud light cold. I just think its the BIA's job to keep the S'Klallam's bud light cold. I just don't want it to be a double down by the locals, so its a reparation to heal a bad relationship. That's all globalist ICLEI bull that has to stop now or continue to be a re-negotiation of a treaty and an opting out of American status.

So Danny warns us about “unintended consequences” for using our free speech. That’s interesting. Free speech isn’t supposed to come with a warning label from elected officials. If speaking up causes problems, maybe it’s not the speaking that’s the problem. Maybe it’s the people in power who don’t like being held accountable.

I assume the function and intent of Habitat to be honorable and laudable. The plight of homelessness, drug abuse, the handicapped and the indigent needs some serious and intense meetings, scrutiny and most importantly decisions. There are many possibilities, but I believe an honest hard look and decision about whether the unfortunate must be rescued by the more fortunate OR NOT or to what extent. There may be and I believe there should be some derivative of help for the more unfortunate, but this constant undefined, uncoordinated and changing collection of efforts should be relaced by an agreed upon plan. That plan should take into account philanthropy and spiritual organization efforts. The goal should be to establish how much in aggregate should be invested in those that cannot care for themselves. Some will say invest nothing, while others might say invest everything. Nature's system is quite harsh on those born with inadequate skills to survive. Should that be the model for humans ? If not, why not. If so, why so ? We need something other than a willy nilly, some here and some there, hodge podge of public disconnected efforts. Our care for the less fortunate has a problem when the altruism behind fair competition and equality is thrown under the bus in the interest of charity being used as a trump card.
