SECRET

adjective

1. not known or seen or not meant to be known or seen by others

noun

1. something that is kept or meant to be kept unknown or unseen by others

Why do the leaders of JKT feel threatened to the point of going “underground” and hiding relevant news? The now inaccessible newsletters and interactive trust land maps contained facts that were archived and factually quotable. How do we find what use to be open information now? I guess we have to revert to the game show I’VE GOT A SECRET:

I've Got a Secret 1952-1967

Each panelist has one 30-second period to ask questions that will help them try to guess the secret. The process repeats until either the secret is guessed or if all four panelists are unable to guess the secret, meaning, (if the secret is kept) THE CONTESTANT RECEIVES THE MAXIMUM PAYOUT.

HA~!

Good one Patriot Jennifer~!

Of course, in this "game" the contestant could also receive the maximum "booby prize" and end up in prison~! I wonder exactly what these "sneak thieves" are REALLY up to~? What is it that they are SO afraid of and is the general public in any danger? I would not put anything past these slimy characters~! Good creative comment my friend~!

Sincerely, Mike

I like Firesign Theater. The skit where the subject is injected with a disease. The subject has about 30 seconds to figure out what the disease is, and if the subject guesses correctly the antidote is administered.

Public Undergroundedness...1984...Truth are lies...lies are truth...Good is bad...bad is Good!

Underground, and soon underwater financially!

NO opposition in Sequim? No one wants to walk into a den of vipers...so collapse is inevitable...timing to be determined.🤓

From the Strait Shooter, perfect:

“It’s not that we’re ashamed of it,” said one city employee who asked to remain anonymous “because I still need my pension.” “It’s just that when the City Council dresses up, people can’t tell the difference.”

I suspect Heller's thinking is too disordered for his antics to be intentional, but consider 2 different but related points:

Clallam jail MAT program "The program has been so successful that staff here at the jail tell us some addicts are intentionally getting themselves arrested"

and

Beginning at around 13:00 in this video interview, activist Ginny Burton discusses MAT in our institutions and how yes, addicts can and do get high abusing Suboxone and other MAT meds:

I've seen him hold it together in the Sequim food bank. He is the perfect villain. He presents himself as the "scene" and provokes more than he attacks. He is a walking living breathing one man Jerry Springer show villain on location for our county. Jeff, Springer's bodyguard always gets to him before he gets a good punch in...But it gets ratings...and tax dollars.

Tax prop. He'll hold still so the nuns can rub his belly, but to you and me he is a risk of getting a shot "strait to the chin" while we are getting gas.

These garbage encampments would not last one day on my business or property.People have a right to defend and protect themselves & property.Any sign of a threat gives you the right 'no duty to retreat law' and dispose of threat just make sure you address this when questioned.A vigilante approach appears to be needed.Why are these property owners not filing trespassing charges against obvious criminals.

Its crazy. If you get once punch you can stop another using deadly force if your elderly...and if you don't go down like Frazier.

State v. Hendrickson (1995)

Citation: 129 Wn.2d 61, 917 P.2d 563

Holding:

A single punch can justify deadly force if the defender reasonably believes it will lead to serious injury or death (e.g., head trauma, multiple attackers).

Impact: “Disparity of force” matters—size, age, number of attackers.

It is possible some of these property owners are aiding hoping & praying continuously that squatters do not turn on them.

@jefftozzer, I formally request a minimum of listening time to meet the recommended physcial activity requirements (see below), get a walking pad to walk on while you are recording the podcast so you can stay “resilient” and be the change we need in Clallam county with pro health “sustainable” behavior, while being a contributing human to society (no pressure just helping you to fend off hypocrisy). Also, I love that you end the podcast that we will be here together tomorrow, it brings hope through connection. Thank you for all that you do Jeff!

“Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. The 150 minutes can be broken up. For example, you can be physically active for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Some physical activity is better than none.

Let's "unpack" that and gather "stakeholders" to get a "10,000-foot view." See? I'm pretty good at political talk, too!

Sadly amusing; a study to review why the study on the study failed. Study as she goes. Miscreants like Michael Heller can live in a cell or perform public service. "There is no generally accepted definition of Indigenous peoples, although in the 21st century the focus has been on self-identification, cultural difference from other groups in a state, a special relationship with their traditional territory, and an experience of subjugation and discrimination under a dominant cultural model. Estimates of the population of Indigenous peoples range from 250 million to 600 million. There are some 5,000 distinct Indigenous peoples spread across every inhabited climate zone and inhabited continent of the world. Wikipedia". Those for whom all the tribal/indigenous/native peoples efforts, grants, special benefits and rights were created are now dead. Anyone today claiming that status has a computer, cellphone, car/truck, perhaps motorized boat and uses non-native built infrastructure. Assimilation has not only been successful; it is a done deed, a wrap, a job well done. I find our local example of Ron Allen an impressive success, but I am doubting he has ever lived in a tee pee, killed dinner with a spear or arrow or harpooned a whale. When can we please stop giving our resources away to dead people ? Our right to support any classification or disadvantaged grouping is unfettered, but it has no place in our Government. You support your cause and I will support mine, but do not take from me and support some cause not of my choosing.

He is everywhere. Our town villain...Sequim's town villain....Free ride to PA and he is their town villain.

He did his routine on me in the Sequim Post Office. Karen came in and saved me. She has been there to save me from Boulware and bullshit.

You know I used to like it when family plot, and the tv plot got stale and a villain would pop up on a show to rally the characters to prevail.. Heller's been a Klingon, Romulan, and about every kind of villain You could imagine for our characters..

I think we are pretty much rallied at this point..Isn't this a public rally...prevailing's the hard part. They got villains in the blue page section now... Head of agency. makes almost as much as the Governor does.

The Encampment Next Door

They actually voted for encampment by not giving the public a toilet to use 24 7. Their reasoning was basically been there done that a few Heller's ruin it for everybody

Tribal Grants, Statewide Costs

"Compensation mechanism." Illegal State Treaty re-negotiation. The shipping emissions causing most of our pollution magically locates and overburdens people of color...and flubber helped Medfield beat Rutland...Go a head make my day ..try to run a hospital..
