CC Watchdog commentators and articles have influenced our decision to stay here and attempt to right the listing ship that is Clallam County bureaucracy. We must believe we can influence legislators and local elected. We need to be informed in order to use our common sense to decide issues, not be in the dark. CC Watchdog is bring us the facts needed to make decisions. First they came for...and then they came for...
So happy to hear you are staying, Eric. You have become so valuable as a "vocal minority" that some commissioners fear your power. I look forward to seeing everyone week.
Eric, the tide IS turning...I'm very glad you are staying " CC Watchdog commentators and articles have influenced our decision to stay here and attempt to right the listing ship that is Clallam County bureaucracy"
While you're laughing, I was pondering some deep thoughts:
RIGHTS OF NATURE DEFINED?
Let’s see, did the Tribe get permission from the trees before they carved them into Totem Poles? Do rocks come under the heading of Rights of Nature? If not, what are the rocks rights? Could be a lawsuit. Who comes first under “time immemorial” rocks or Tribes? Could be controversial.
Boy, this is a whole new can of worms! Do worms have Rights Of Nature? Earthworms arrived to North America as Stowaways (1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created).
I'd be willing to bet every single one of those presenters at the "rights of nature" presentation live in houses made out of trees. I wonder what their walls' pronouns are.
LSW the main one in the county involved with this. He thinks he will be a hero for the tribes and nature but they are all being used to take away private property from the people.
The problem with speaking up for anyone when the goons show up and only they have guns, just means you get the rifle butt or the bayonet or the bullet or the 'work camp' as well...and the beat goes on.
Speaking up currently is having no discernible effect on kommissars, or any other governing body.
The system is being weaponized against anyone who has to self-defend, with exceptions in some states and districts...only 1A and 2A sanctuary states still have some hope of truth, liberty, justice, accountability and tough love...WA is becoming little NY.
The worse conditions get, the more draconian the govt's become. This is 'somebody's' design because it is happening all over the world, just like c19 protocols...they were planned and rehearsed for years....PLANNED.
Democracy leads to tyranny and despotism because only chaos can result from it.
We have no 'wise elders' and 'youthful debaters' in governance...Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens try to speak truth and their lives were/are in danger every minute because of it.
So, Eric, I agree with your stance...we are staying because nothing else has 'popped up' during extensive searching and praying about it...now real estate is softening, further limiting options financially.
The real problem is decades of relative decadence, complacency and apathy have dumbed down the 'average' uninformed 'citizen'...I get it...I wish I didn't know...but there's no going back...I've been aware of the long-term 'infiltraition' of our gov't since I was a kid and saw well intentioned, locally organized 'conservatives' work very hard to alter the course of WA State toward common sense and 'constitutional' government to no avail...things have only steadily deteriorated in my 68 years and I know I won't live to see any meaningful turnaround.
Like the Titanic, never even slowing down as it plowed into the field of icebergs, the 'unsinkable' U.S. of A. is on a collision course with the destiny assured by greed and corruption and globalist/fascist 'infiltraition'.
Human governance at its 'best'. Pray without ceasing and act as inspired?!😇
Back to yesterday. JEFF, you "scooped" the other news sources on your Burke exposure!! Congrats. And give yourself a bit of a pat on the back, perhaps an ounce of satisfaction, that you are forcing "mainstream" Clallam County news dispensers, that there is an ugliness in the County that for far too long they have swept under the rug. "Drip water torture works!"
When the list of everyday tasks where government-approved ID os required is longer than a giraffe’s legs, there is only one reason to not require that same ID to vote - and that is to allow non-citizens to vote. Which is exactly what those who cannot win elections with their ideas need to prevail. Shame on the LWV.
I keep my drivers license in the least accessible pocket of my wallet and I only pull it out maybe four times a year. Who is showing their ID every day?
Here’s a sample: buying alcohol, opening a bank account, applying for food stamps, welfare, Medicaid, and Social Security, renting or buying a house, buying or renting a car, flying on an airplane, getting married, purchasing a gun, adopting a pet, applying for a hunting license, renting a hotel room, getting a fishing license, buying a cell phone, picking up prescription medication, visiting a casino, donating blood, purchasing mature-rated video games, purchasing tobacco, and applying for unemployment benefits.
Just to get the balance printed on your deposit receipt at the bank requires ID.
I don't understand why LWV thinks it suppresses people of color. If LWV told me that showing ID suppresses gay people, I would say: "You think I'm incapable of getting an ID? That's pretty condescending."
Susie, the list is long for ID requirements. I had to laugh when I read airports requiring the new passport thingy. Some people were trying to use their Costco cards for proof of ID.
Don E.: We all will be soon, if this shit show is allowed to play out fully.
Everywhere we go, we are already under surveillance and monitored by our online presence and our electronic purchases and the security system at most businesses.
I guarantee we are all 'developing' 'social credit scores' and dissidents scores won't be 'in the zone' of acceptability...I'm working at making sure mine is very low, just by being critical of the stazi-regime we already have.🤨The stazi used their 'vast network of informants' to 'crush dissent'. The vast network of informants now includes psychopaths from around the online world...the call it 'the web' and 'the net' for a reason, you know? Interesting times!😎
I can’t imagine my daily existence is that much different than most of the people here. I do believe in the supernatural, so maybe I just think I’m living here with you all.
They and their offspring are going to have to inhabit the hellscape they are helping create. Self-righteous, socialist/communist trained operatives...and many of them don't even know it...when you're that brainwashed, it's hard to see for yourself.
Also they have no shame because they have no higher morals guiding them...only ideology which dooms all under its boot-heel.😳
When are property rights not property rights? When is a right to privacy not a right to privacy?
Meanwhile rivers, etc. are granted rights. Sure sign we are living in a death cult as the depopulationists in charge go about their evil, that’s right, evil duties.
They've found more red herring apparently in the manoomin. The absurdity of these positions is beyond comprehension. I bet that they could argue that the petroleum industry is causing harm to the manoomin. Before you know all civilization will come to a halt, just not the tribal corporations. They get no blame for modifying the earth when it benefits them.
As an old professor told us, there are no property rights. They are rights of people who own the property. I agree. Things don’t have rights and better not, ever.
It looks like much human intelligence is AI already...Pre-programmed by somebody.
I am having an excellent conversation with ChatGPT about global politics, morals, ethics, ancient history, political cycles, the meaning of life and how to accept without condoning, act without malevolence, etc. There is nothing I can really do about the system but I can do my best within or alongside it while I'm here...These dramas play out over decades, centuries and millennia...Waaay beyond one lifespan, obviously...it's more about 'Know Thyself' than 'changing the world'...The best minds and characters in the world are relegated to history and the few who bother to study it...they tend to be marginalized while despots continue to rise to power and destroy the societies they dominate...The way of the world.😎
I'm being sued for trimming tree branches growing 2 feet into our private roadway, which were growing 8 feet beyond the easement to reach the roadway.😳
Robert, that doesn't sound right. Must be more to it. I won my case on a Timber Trespass action. Neighbor came on my property to trim the tree branches overhanging their property. You can trim trees that overhang your property but not into other peoples property...it gets complicated. Road right of ways aren't necessarily easements, but there can be easements on the Road Right of Way, but they are listed in your title, usually electrical, water, sewer, gas (utilities)....good luck!
Calamity Jen’s substack about grants (There’s a Grant for That!) is a very good read to connect the dots regarding the basic understanding of types of grants. Grant writing is an art and isn’t easy nor for the faint of heart to attempt. https://substack.com/home/post/p-178254616
Not all grants are available to everyone, and some are only offered to Native American Tribes..But they are out there. Clallam County has not actively pursued or followed up with available programs. (ie loss of revenue for Towne Road OOPS) If anything, there has been half-hearted attempts that seem more for show than effort. ‘We tried, but were turned down : (
WHO HAS JUMPED ON THE FUNDING BANDWAGON...quote from article... “Allen frequently reminds audiences that Jamestown’s $100 million annual enterprise was built “WITHOUT FEDERAL ASSISTANCE.” Yet his federal connections and policy influence are exactly what keep the tribe thriving in competitive sectors like healthcare, gaming, and construction.
The success is undeniable. The humility — less so.”
In 2024, $32.6 billion was APPROVED BY CONGRESS FOR FUNDING for and other ASSISTANCE TO BENEFIT TRIBAL COMMUNITIES. This assistance covers everything from clean water initiatives, educational programs, broadband internet access, transportation projects, law enforcement, health care, and MUCH MORE.
Red tape and paperwork. Applying for grants and other assistance can be a burden. Applications are often complex and may include quarterly reporting requirements that are time consuming to complete. And tribal communities and governments may not have the people available to dedicate to these efforts... FEDERAL AGENCIES can provide training to their staff on how to effectively communicate and work with Tribes...The article goes on to asks “What can be done to help Tribes access more of the assistance available to them?
Reduce the administrative burden onTribes. FEDERAL AGENCIES can take steps that help Tribes build administrative capacity, streamline program applications, and provide more flexibility to meet program requirements. For example, the Environmental Protection Agency uses Performance Partnership Grants, WHICH ALLOW TRIBES TO COMBINE GRAND AWARDS AND ENHANCE FUNDING FLEXIBILITY.
ELIGIBLE USE OF FUNDS
The Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund provides flexible support for eligible revenue sharing counties and eligible Tribal governments to meet THEIR JURISDICTION’S NEEDS. Specifically, the statute directs that recipients may use funds for any governmental purpose OTHER THAN A LOBBYING ACTIVITY.
GRANT MAKING:
Founded in 1980, First Nations began its national grant making program in 1993. Through mid-year 2024, we have successfully managed 3,473 grants totaling $85 million to Native American projects and organizations in 45 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. Territory American Samoa.
Our grant making program provides both FINANCIAL and technical resources to tribes and Native nonprofit organizations to support ASSET-BASED DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS.
• Federal- and State-Recognized Tribal Governments (Tribal Government Programs, such as TRIBAL ARTS PROGRAMS, HERITAGE DEPARTMENTS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ENTITIES, ETC)
(This is an older article) Some of his (R Allen) accomplishments include leading the Tribe from a zero resource base in 1982 to a current annual budget level of approximately $26 million, and from a landless reservation base in 1982 to a land base of over 1,000 acres WITH OUT FEDERAL ASSISTANCE. Additionally, he has led the Tribe to establish business enterprises that include Seven Cedars Casino, Northwest Native Expressions Art Gallery, JKT Development, Jamestown Excavating, and Jamestown Health & Medical Supplies.
Jennifer, since our previous conversation is getting harder to navigate, can I just ask you here, have I adequately addressed your question about context?
Truth or verity is the property of being in accord with fact or reality. In everyday language, it is typically ascribed to things that aim to represent reality or otherwise correspond to it
Social engineering. It's a secret club. Only the properly initiated get to participate. It's a narrow gate...like the gate to heaven, only this is a gate to hell. There is a reason that it is precisely formulaic...easy to manipulate from within, thereby qualifying or rebuffing, depending not on common sense or practicality but by how closely you align with the preferred ideals within the 'kingdom'.😝
Nature has more rights than humans? The jokes that abound in my head about this and Ozias' attachment to this nonsense keep me laughing right now. Then there is the LWV who truly believe minorities are inferior to them. I have seen minorities on planes and in banks and driving. Wow! Has the LWV ever seen what I've seen? The fools that fell for the minority argument haven't seen what I've seen either. Come on LVW, go outside, get some fresh air and SEE what is thriving in this world! Thanks, Jeff, for keeping our heads on straight.
Our Governance was and is established for safety, security, infrastructure and economic opportunity. Sadly it has become diseased with social engineering. OMWBE, MWBE, DEI, BLM, LGBTQ+, indigenous whatever and, other nationality whatever all have no place in Government. The nature of nature is that each of us is unique, making each of us a minority of one. The possibilities for minority groupings and causes is infinite. The resultant cost of all the Government social engineering efforts is an unbearable tax dollar waste. All that money can be captured and funneled into law enforcement, sparing us the adverse impacts of Michael Hellers. Support representatives that will focus on Government basics and leave social engineering to society, ( NGOs, churches, philanthropic organizations, etc. )
I am under the impression that OMC is subject to Washington’s Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA), which mandates that meetings of governing bodies of public agencies must be open and accessible to the public unless a specific legal exception applies (such as executive sessions for particular subjects).
They are, and they'll tell you that they're compliant with the OPMA, which they are. The issue is that is more common with other public agencies to add the "best practice" of recording the meetings so that they can be watch by anyone who cannot attend.
OMC's absurd claim to not record because the video can be manipulated is preposterous. The originals are maintained by the agency where they are viewed from and cannot be manipulated as such. The problem here is this new person is from out of state and is out of touch with why this best practice exists in so many other places.
Whoever attends these meetings in person might as well bring a camera and record the entire session and then put it up on YouTube for everyone to see. That'll fix it.
Give nature a voice? How do you invite nature, a tree, or a fish to the courtroom? It sounds like a pretty short court case if we don't understand what they are saying. And who is the god that thinks he can interpret for the fish, tree, or river? Humans are to take care of the earth. God gave humans the ability to learn and know how to take care of them. The fish, trees, and rivers have to depend on humans. It sounds like they are using their religion or a form of it to manipulate the courts. It sounds like Pantheism, the belief that the universe is God or that God is everything, or Animism, the belief that natural entities have souls and power. If we reject religion in our laws and government, we should also reject animism and Pantheism. "The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it." Genesis 2:15 It doesn't say that the Lord gave the fish enough sense to take care of themselves. People have rights, not nature. We already have laws and regulations to protect the environment. Sounds like some crazy woke thing to me.
The voice should be saying quit letting side channels and new channels lower the levels of my water so that 90 percent of Juveniles dies...quit dumping piles of logs in cow pastures.
Yeah Old Lindsey is going to tell JKT to undo the Jimmycomelately science so the longhouse can keep getting flooded. Soon he will try to ban stents so mother nature can claim us after a heart attack...
Empire in collapse. 'Democracy' in action = the worst people 'selecting' the worst people into positions of authority and power. Plato wrote about the 'failure of democracy', also known as 'mob rule'. 'Democracy' is praised as the highest form of human governance and worth all effort to 'defend'...in fact conspiracy, 'election fraud', coups, assassinations and military violence have been used by govt's around the world and especially by the U.S. government, as the strongest military force in the world, to 'secure democracy', or 'install democracy', because it is the most chaotic and easiest system to manipulate...while making people believe it was the highest form of social governance...how's that workin' out?
When only 22% participate, the whole thing is 'election' fraud! There is no balanced 'representation'. We know virtually NOTHING about candidates except for what they say about themselves...there are no real debates and no ethical infrastructure to hold anyone accountable to their expressed intentions, ideas, values or actions.
The fruits are rotten and the trees are dying. It's going to be a long Winter.🥶
"The Halloween Catch-and-Release" - what a pathetic waste of strained law enforcement resources AND Taxpayer Funds!
"When Nature Has More Rights Than You" - Wow, dumbxxx Ozias will invite any ridiculous curse in Clallam if he thinks it will bring him power!
"The League That Loves Loopholes" - Can't Fix The Stupid!
"DCD’s War on Affordable Living" - soon only wealthy retirees will be able.to afford living here AND we'll be complaining even more about the lack of labor resources!!
"Ron Allen’s Two Hats" - Clallam MUST start charging the Tribe an "Infrastructure Use Tax" !
"The Solar-Powered Food Bank Van" - What's next? Solar powered Adult Toys for the "Do No Harm" bafoons!?
Special treats for special beings..human or otherwise...we're on a downhill run on black ice and a big corner is coming up...would be great to have to 'eat crow' on my cynicism someday! I'd even write a poem for it! Eating crow is racist and anti-nature of course, so the social credit police will be here any day, now!🤪
When are property rights not property rights? When is a right to privacy not a right to privacy?
Meanwhile rivers, etc. are granted rights. Sure sign we are living in a death cult as the depopulationists in charge go about their evil, that’s right, evil duties.
Permit me to expand. As an old professor told us, there are no property rights. They are rights of people who own the property. I agree. Things don’t have rights and better not, ever. Especially AI?
“The business of man is man.” That’s non gender specific. God put everything here for our use, wisely, of course. He has no use for tree, salmon, river, or other idol worshippers and definitely no tolerance for death cults. When you deny people the right to try to make their lives better without threatening, endangering, preventing others from enjoying their property, or harming them, especially while ignoring and enabling the miscreants who are in order to feather your own and supporters’ nests, you are part of Satan’s army.
According to RCW 42.30.220, “Public agencies are encouraged to make an audio or video recording of, or to provide an online streaming option for, all regular meetings of its governing body, and to make recordings of these meetings available online for a minimum of six months.”
Yea, I looked up some information on this and even the State AG's office interprets recordings as permissible because there's no expectation of privacy in a public meeting. Might just be easier for someone to record their screen on their computers and post the videos. More impactful would be to attend in-person and do it there.
FYI: Michael Heller is mentally ill; he seems unable to recognize or control his behavior. He does pose a threat to people. I find it insane that the police know he has mental problems and think that putting him in jail will fix it. Jail is not a substitute for medical and psychological intervention.
I agree with your belief that Heller is mentally ill. That said, the police are doing what the system allows them to do. They have no authority or power to commit him, that's a court's authority. The police are primarily here to enforce criminal laws. There are no criminal laws against someone being mentally ill. By arresting Heller for the crimes he is allegedly committing the police are doing their part. It is then up to the "system" to deal with his mental status to decide whether he can determine right from wrong for continued prosecution.
“Justice is blind” is an English proverb that expresses the ideal that the legal system should be objective and unbiased. It implies that judges, juries, and law enforcement should base their decisions solely on the information presented, not on personal biases or preferences. The phrase is often used in reference to legal courts.
Unfortunately our system is not setup to be blind.
I am very concerned that Heller keeps trying to hang out near the dream park, yesterday as I drove by, he was yelling at a father who was pushing his child on a swing, Heller started throwing his “items”over the fence at them. The day before in the same spot, he was smoking Meth as he leaned up against the kids playground fence. What does it take to get this man trespassed from the dream park, he is clearly a danger to others !
"In 2021, WA Democrats in the Legislature took a SLEDGEHAMMER 🔨to Washington's criminal justice system.
They banned police chases, defacto legalized heroin, meth, and fentanyl, and also removed Felony Robbery from the 3 Strikes list of offenses.
Pay attention to that last one.
Mark Anthony Russ is a career violent criminal who committed some heinous crimes in Seattle throughout the 80's and 90's. Justice finally caught up with him and he was sentenced to LIFE in prison, with no chance of parole.
Fast forward to 2021 and Democrats RELEASED Mark Anthony Russ from prison because one of his strikes had been Felony Robbery.
Fast forward to today...
DNA evidence has now linked him to the gruesome r*pe and murder of a 14yr old girl from 1994.
And when he was arrested this latest time, it turns out he also never registered as a Sex Offender like he was supposed to upon release in 2021.
Another "successful" story of Olympia Democrats' light on crime policies.
Don; You can't trespass the insane...look no further than CCBOK...we've been Trying to trespass them out and you just can't reach them...just different parts of the spectrum...Heller and NOzias/French/Johnson are fraternal 'quads'..all 'special needs'...you can't help or please everybody on the spectrum!😎
Be a company, be a tree, be a virus, be a disease? Did this all start with the Supreme Court granting person-hood to companies owned by foreigners included? The absurdity of all this can only happen in lobbied-for-American person-hood. Do actual people go by a different name now? What shall we call ourselves --The Deplorables?
Its a sad truth that the local DRMT and NGO people, have decided to build a salmon habitat that is "worse than no habitat."..just to flood property. They have been sitting there for 14 years killing salmon like they were running a rabbit farm, and waiting for the perfect king tide rain conjunction to finish off the 3 crab and Dungeness community... Hey Barney guys...in a friggin rain shadow...
That picture of all the logs piled up during the Towne Road fraud...stays in my mind, Some bullshit excuse in case there really was a flood during the premature dike breach and the November King Tide.... This is who SUMGUI goes to bat for...selectively..

Eric, the tide IS turning...I'm very glad you are staying " CC Watchdog commentators and articles have influenced our decision to stay here and attempt to right the listing ship that is Clallam County bureaucracy"
The "tide" needs organization to move in exponentially vs linear ways.

Well, it's a bit early to get the middle finger from you, but I'll take it for a good belly laugh 😆

look at the number in county jail right now with rape or child molestation charges, where are those stories covered? nowhere but here that I have seen
Susie, and on this substack people can relate, relay and warn each other.
Geoff, the "scoop" has created a crackling pattern that happens when safety glass breaks! Who knows where it will lead ; )

Indeed! It is racist as hell to say that an entire race is too stupid to get an ID. Incredible that it is tolerated.
Perception isn't EVERYTHING but it's a BIG thing!🥸
When I make a deposit, they ask if I want the balance or not, but they don’t ask for ID.
They probably know you.
They don’t.
You are in an alternate reality...enjoy it while you can!❤️😎
Truth doesn't matter...only ideology and 'process'...as long as they are making 'headway', it doesn't matter the direction or the outcome.
When psychopaths rule...😱
Truth matters to some people, just not enough people.
Truth
Being in accord with fact or reality
Don must not get out much.
Oh bless your heart Carolyn.
Bless all our aching, incredulous hearts!😎
At least 4 times a year
Maybe 8.
So Don is 'settled in' and doesn't have to interface with the system much...I wish that could be me! Love to Don!☺️
Ok but how many of those things does one do every day? Maybe to buy alcohol, but I don’t drink.
Don, I can't even believe you are arguing this. Is this "fact" or "context"?
It takes two to argue.
to buy alcohol and sometimes cigaretres, ID. To buy a heavily taxxed plant product cultivated by humans for thousands of years, ID.
Needles, narcotic foil and pipes- no age limit or ID required and funded by taxpayers
Susie, the list is long for ID requirements. I had to laugh when I read airports requiring the new passport thingy. Some people were trying to use their Costco cards for proof of ID.

I am having an excellent conversation with ChatGPT about global politics, morals, ethics, ancient history, political cycles, the meaning of life and how to accept without condoning, act without malevolence, etc. There is nothing I can really do about the system but I can do my best within or alongside it while I'm here...These dramas play out over decades, centuries and millennia...Waaay beyond one lifespan, obviously...it's more about 'Know Thyself' than 'changing the world'...The best minds and characters in the world are relegated to history and the few who bother to study it...they tend to be marginalized while despots continue to rise to power and destroy the societies they dominate...The way of the world.😎
I'm being sued for trimming tree branches growing 2 feet into our private roadway, which were growing 8 feet beyond the easement to reach the roadway.😳
Robert, that doesn't sound right. Must be more to it. I won my case on a Timber Trespass action. Neighbor came on my property to trim the tree branches overhanging their property. You can trim trees that overhang your property but not into other peoples property...it gets complicated. Road right of ways aren't necessarily easements, but there can be easements on the Road Right of Way, but they are listed in your title, usually electrical, water, sewer, gas (utilities)....good luck!
Don, there may be no property rights, but there sure is property wrongs.
Signs of the times...I always thought the 'Revelation' stories were just somebodie's bad dream!😴
Calamity Jen’s substack about grants (There’s a Grant for That!) is a very good read to connect the dots regarding the basic understanding of types of grants. Grant writing is an art and isn’t easy nor for the faint of heart to attempt. https://substack.com/home/post/p-178254616
Not all grants are available to everyone, and some are only offered to Native American Tribes..But they are out there. Clallam County has not actively pursued or followed up with available programs. (ie loss of revenue for Towne Road OOPS) If anything, there has been half-hearted attempts that seem more for show than effort. ‘We tried, but were turned down : (
WHO HAS JUMPED ON THE FUNDING BANDWAGON...quote from article... “Allen frequently reminds audiences that Jamestown’s $100 million annual enterprise was built “WITHOUT FEDERAL ASSISTANCE.” Yet his federal connections and policy influence are exactly what keep the tribe thriving in competitive sectors like healthcare, gaming, and construction.
The success is undeniable. The humility — less so.”
Below are just a few FEDERAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS used by Tribes: https://www.gao.gov/blog/funding-and-programs-meant-help-tribes-may-not-be-reaching-them
In 2024, $32.6 billion was APPROVED BY CONGRESS FOR FUNDING for and other ASSISTANCE TO BENEFIT TRIBAL COMMUNITIES. This assistance covers everything from clean water initiatives, educational programs, broadband internet access, transportation projects, law enforcement, health care, and MUCH MORE.
Red tape and paperwork. Applying for grants and other assistance can be a burden. Applications are often complex and may include quarterly reporting requirements that are time consuming to complete. And tribal communities and governments may not have the people available to dedicate to these efforts... FEDERAL AGENCIES can provide training to their staff on how to effectively communicate and work with Tribes...The article goes on to asks “What can be done to help Tribes access more of the assistance available to them?
Reduce the administrative burden onTribes. FEDERAL AGENCIES can take steps that help Tribes build administrative capacity, streamline program applications, and provide more flexibility to meet program requirements. For example, the Environmental Protection Agency uses Performance Partnership Grants, WHICH ALLOW TRIBES TO COMBINE GRAND AWARDS AND ENHANCE FUNDING FLEXIBILITY.
ELIGIBLE USE OF FUNDS
The Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund provides flexible support for eligible revenue sharing counties and eligible Tribal governments to meet THEIR JURISDICTION’S NEEDS. Specifically, the statute directs that recipients may use funds for any governmental purpose OTHER THAN A LOBBYING ACTIVITY.
GRANT MAKING:
Founded in 1980, First Nations began its national grant making program in 1993. Through mid-year 2024, we have successfully managed 3,473 grants totaling $85 million to Native American projects and organizations in 45 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. Territory American Samoa.
Our grant making program provides both FINANCIAL and technical resources to tribes and Native nonprofit organizations to support ASSET-BASED DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS.
• Federal- and State-Recognized Tribal Governments (Tribal Government Programs, such as TRIBAL ARTS PROGRAMS, HERITAGE DEPARTMENTS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ENTITIES, ETC)
• Native-controlled 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations
• Native 7871 Organizations
• Fiscally-sponsored Native community organizations
There are also occasional individual support opportunities available through fellowships and scholarships.

(This is an older article) Some of his (R Allen) accomplishments include leading the Tribe from a zero resource base in 1982 to a current annual budget level of approximately $26 million, and from a landless reservation base in 1982 to a land base of over 1,000 acres WITH OUT FEDERAL ASSISTANCE. Additionally, he has led the Tribe to establish business enterprises that include Seven Cedars Casino, Northwest Native Expressions Art Gallery, JKT Development, Jamestown Excavating, and Jamestown Health & Medical Supplies.
This is a 'tiny' part of why the US is 38 trillion dollars in debt....

'It's a big club...and we ain't in it!' Carlin
Jennifer, since our previous conversation is getting harder to navigate, can I just ask you here, have I adequately addressed your question about context?
Yes Don, thank you for your time and effort. I guess "context" defines you and "facts" define me.
'lovebugs'🤣
Truth is what matters to me. Facts + Context = Truth
Facts + Context= Interpretation
Leo, thank you
Truth
Being in accord with fact or reality
Overview
Truth or verity is the property of being in accord with fact or reality. In everyday language, it is typically ascribed to things that aim to represent reality or otherwise correspond to it
Social engineering. It's a secret club. Only the properly initiated get to participate. It's a narrow gate...like the gate to heaven, only this is a gate to hell. There is a reason that it is precisely formulaic...easy to manipulate from within, thereby qualifying or rebuffing, depending not on common sense or practicality but by how closely you align with the preferred ideals within the 'kingdom'.😝
Nature has more rights than humans? The jokes that abound in my head about this and Ozias' attachment to this nonsense keep me laughing right now. Then there is the LWV who truly believe minorities are inferior to them. I have seen minorities on planes and in banks and driving. Wow! Has the LWV ever seen what I've seen? The fools that fell for the minority argument haven't seen what I've seen either. Come on LVW, go outside, get some fresh air and SEE what is thriving in this world! Thanks, Jeff, for keeping our heads on straight.
Our Governance was and is established for safety, security, infrastructure and economic opportunity. Sadly it has become diseased with social engineering. OMWBE, MWBE, DEI, BLM, LGBTQ+, indigenous whatever and, other nationality whatever all have no place in Government. The nature of nature is that each of us is unique, making each of us a minority of one. The possibilities for minority groupings and causes is infinite. The resultant cost of all the Government social engineering efforts is an unbearable tax dollar waste. All that money can be captured and funneled into law enforcement, sparing us the adverse impacts of Michael Hellers. Support representatives that will focus on Government basics and leave social engineering to society, ( NGOs, churches, philanthropic organizations, etc. )
No NGOs, please.
Amen
I am under the impression that OMC is subject to Washington’s Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA), which mandates that meetings of governing bodies of public agencies must be open and accessible to the public unless a specific legal exception applies (such as executive sessions for particular subjects).
They are, and they'll tell you that they're compliant with the OPMA, which they are. The issue is that is more common with other public agencies to add the "best practice" of recording the meetings so that they can be watch by anyone who cannot attend.
OMC's absurd claim to not record because the video can be manipulated is preposterous. The originals are maintained by the agency where they are viewed from and cannot be manipulated as such. The problem here is this new person is from out of state and is out of touch with why this best practice exists in so many other places.
Whoever attends these meetings in person might as well bring a camera and record the entire session and then put it up on YouTube for everyone to see. That'll fix it.
Give nature a voice? How do you invite nature, a tree, or a fish to the courtroom? It sounds like a pretty short court case if we don't understand what they are saying. And who is the god that thinks he can interpret for the fish, tree, or river? Humans are to take care of the earth. God gave humans the ability to learn and know how to take care of them. The fish, trees, and rivers have to depend on humans. It sounds like they are using their religion or a form of it to manipulate the courts. It sounds like Pantheism, the belief that the universe is God or that God is everything, or Animism, the belief that natural entities have souls and power. If we reject religion in our laws and government, we should also reject animism and Pantheism. "The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it." Genesis 2:15 It doesn't say that the Lord gave the fish enough sense to take care of themselves. People have rights, not nature. We already have laws and regulations to protect the environment. Sounds like some crazy woke thing to me.
The voice should be saying quit letting side channels and new channels lower the levels of my water so that 90 percent of Juveniles dies...quit dumping piles of logs in cow pastures.
Who? PA city council memeber with his eyes on higher office and socialist goals. https://www.climateone.org/people/lindsey-schromen-wawrin
Yeah Old Lindsey is going to tell JKT to undo the Jimmycomelately science so the longhouse can keep getting flooded. Soon he will try to ban stents so mother nature can claim us after a heart attack...
He is going to wear a salmon suit where they have been killing salmon on purpose for 14 years..That's ironic SUMGUI..
Empire in collapse. 'Democracy' in action = the worst people 'selecting' the worst people into positions of authority and power. Plato wrote about the 'failure of democracy', also known as 'mob rule'. 'Democracy' is praised as the highest form of human governance and worth all effort to 'defend'...in fact conspiracy, 'election fraud', coups, assassinations and military violence have been used by govt's around the world and especially by the U.S. government, as the strongest military force in the world, to 'secure democracy', or 'install democracy', because it is the most chaotic and easiest system to manipulate...while making people believe it was the highest form of social governance...how's that workin' out?
When only 22% participate, the whole thing is 'election' fraud! There is no balanced 'representation'. We know virtually NOTHING about candidates except for what they say about themselves...there are no real debates and no ethical infrastructure to hold anyone accountable to their expressed intentions, ideas, values or actions.
The fruits are rotten and the trees are dying. It's going to be a long Winter.🥶
"The Halloween Catch-and-Release" - what a pathetic waste of strained law enforcement resources AND Taxpayer Funds!
"When Nature Has More Rights Than You" - Wow, dumbxxx Ozias will invite any ridiculous curse in Clallam if he thinks it will bring him power!
"The League That Loves Loopholes" - Can't Fix The Stupid!
"DCD’s War on Affordable Living" - soon only wealthy retirees will be able.to afford living here AND we'll be complaining even more about the lack of labor resources!!
"Ron Allen’s Two Hats" - Clallam MUST start charging the Tribe an "Infrastructure Use Tax" !
"The Solar-Powered Food Bank Van" - What's next? Solar powered Adult Toys for the "Do No Harm" bafoons!?
Special treats for special beings..human or otherwise...we're on a downhill run on black ice and a big corner is coming up...would be great to have to 'eat crow' on my cynicism someday! I'd even write a poem for it! Eating crow is racist and anti-nature of course, so the social credit police will be here any day, now!🤪
Expanded on my comment
When are property rights not property rights? When is a right to privacy not a right to privacy?
Meanwhile rivers, etc. are granted rights. Sure sign we are living in a death cult as the depopulationists in charge go about their evil, that’s right, evil duties.
Permit me to expand. As an old professor told us, there are no property rights. They are rights of people who own the property. I agree. Things don’t have rights and better not, ever. Especially AI?
“The business of man is man.” That’s non gender specific. God put everything here for our use, wisely, of course. He has no use for tree, salmon, river, or other idol worshippers and definitely no tolerance for death cults. When you deny people the right to try to make their lives better without threatening, endangering, preventing others from enjoying their property, or harming them, especially while ignoring and enabling the miscreants who are in order to feather your own and supporters’ nests, you are part of Satan’s army.
No OMC Commissioner meetings recorded.
According to RCW 42.30.220, “Public agencies are encouraged to make an audio or video recording of, or to provide an online streaming option for, all regular meetings of its governing body, and to make recordings of these meetings available online for a minimum of six months.”
Yea, I looked up some information on this and even the State AG's office interprets recordings as permissible because there's no expectation of privacy in a public meeting. Might just be easier for someone to record their screen on their computers and post the videos. More impactful would be to attend in-person and do it there.
FYI: Michael Heller is mentally ill; he seems unable to recognize or control his behavior. He does pose a threat to people. I find it insane that the police know he has mental problems and think that putting him in jail will fix it. Jail is not a substitute for medical and psychological intervention.
I agree with your belief that Heller is mentally ill. That said, the police are doing what the system allows them to do. They have no authority or power to commit him, that's a court's authority. The police are primarily here to enforce criminal laws. There are no criminal laws against someone being mentally ill. By arresting Heller for the crimes he is allegedly committing the police are doing their part. It is then up to the "system" to deal with his mental status to decide whether he can determine right from wrong for continued prosecution.
When the prosecutorial and judicial are corrupt...there can be no justice.😎
“Justice is blind” is an English proverb that expresses the ideal that the legal system should be objective and unbiased. It implies that judges, juries, and law enforcement should base their decisions solely on the information presented, not on personal biases or preferences. The phrase is often used in reference to legal courts.
Unfortunately our system is not setup to be blind.
If he poses a threat to people, that could be why he is in jail. As MK states, the police are doing their part. The 'system' here is broken.
It's a common refrain to beat up on the cops for absolutely everything instead of looking at the root causes.
They are doing their best, with DEI hires and no ethical oversight and a corrupt judiciary...not too good!😳
We can't build enough jails and asylums to contain what is unfolding. Buckle up.🥸
“Mentally ill” should not be an excuse, and incarceration seems a requirement. Hmmm.
I am very concerned that Heller keeps trying to hang out near the dream park, yesterday as I drove by, he was yelling at a father who was pushing his child on a swing, Heller started throwing his “items”over the fence at them. The day before in the same spot, he was smoking Meth as he leaned up against the kids playground fence. What does it take to get this man trespassed from the dream park, he is clearly a danger to others !
I don't like to tread into political ideology, but the chickens have come home to roost.

"In 2021, WA Democrats in the Legislature took a SLEDGEHAMMER 🔨to Washington's criminal justice system.
They banned police chases, defacto legalized heroin, meth, and fentanyl, and also removed Felony Robbery from the 3 Strikes list of offenses.
Pay attention to that last one.
Mark Anthony Russ is a career violent criminal who committed some heinous crimes in Seattle throughout the 80's and 90's. Justice finally caught up with him and he was sentenced to LIFE in prison, with no chance of parole.
Fast forward to 2021 and Democrats RELEASED Mark Anthony Russ from prison because one of his strikes had been Felony Robbery.
Fast forward to today...
DNA evidence has now linked him to the gruesome r*pe and murder of a 14yr old girl from 1994.
And when he was arrested this latest time, it turns out he also never registered as a Sex Offender like he was supposed to upon release in 2021.
Another "successful" story of Olympia Democrats' light on crime policies.

Don; You can't trespass the insane...look no further than CCBOK...we've been Trying to trespass them out and you just can't reach them...just different parts of the spectrum...Heller and NOzias/French/Johnson are fraternal 'quads'..all 'special needs'...you can't help or please everybody on the spectrum!😎

How to Become a Person
Be a company, be a tree, be a virus, be a disease? Did this all start with the Supreme Court granting person-hood to companies owned by foreigners included? The absurdity of all this can only happen in lobbied-for-American person-hood. Do actual people go by a different name now? What shall we call ourselves --The Deplorables?
Its a sad truth that the local DRMT and NGO people, have decided to build a salmon habitat that is "worse than no habitat."..just to flood property. They have been sitting there for 14 years killing salmon like they were running a rabbit farm, and waiting for the perfect king tide rain conjunction to finish off the 3 crab and Dungeness community... Hey Barney guys...in a friggin rain shadow...
That picture of all the logs piled up during the Towne Road fraud...stays in my mind, Some bullshit excuse in case there really was a flood during the premature dike breach and the November King Tide.... This is who SUMGUI goes to bat for...selectively..
