Harm reduction attempts to reduce the adverse consequences of drug use among persons who continue to use drugs.
Safeguarding is defined as taking all reasonable means to prevent harm from occurring; to protect people, especially vulnerable adults and children, from that harm; and to respond appropriately when harm does occur.
AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE
It is better and easier to stop a problem, illness, etc., from happening than to stop or correct it after it has progressed.
Harm reduction should be redefined as residence in an insane asylum, where they can no longer harm citizens during one of their psychotic episodes and where their fentanyl/meth-addled brains can dry out from intoxicants. Dr. Berry (I cringe using that title) and the leaders of our county government are simply enablers, to the detriment of everyone else-- the elderly, children, citizens minding their own business, businesses, tourists, and more.
You are not required to honor her title OR position. I call her 'Scary Berry' because that is an accurate description of her philosophy and her actions.
By her fruits we shall know her!
She completely disrespects us in her sociopathy. We can have compassion for her/them and we can forgive them, for they know not what they do, but we don't have to 'go along' with their schemes.
They are products of psycho-social engineering which has population reduction as its long term goal...They do not care about humanity...they care about power and control and making the world over in their image and likeness. Not a good look!👀
I absolutely refuse to honor "sour rotten Berry" with the title of "doctor", and I find it personally and Constitutionally offensive when anyone does! Americans owe no Individual respect just because they somehow received a questionable piece of paper stamped by the government~! Respect is earned, not "decreed"~! Have a great weekend my friend~!
1. Symptom Management: Prioritize comfort through effective symptom control. This may include administering pain relief, managing distress, or providing interventions to reduce anxiety and restlessness.
End-of-life care is about more than managing symptoms—it is about creating a space where patients can experience peace, dignity, and closure.
According to a hospice Care Guidelines for Symptom Management Dr Berry comes comes pretty close. Mat Clinic is used for anxiety, restlessness and pain relief. Harm Reduction provides the interventions to administer those drugs (except not under doctor or nurse supervision). And a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich to brighten the day.
Dr Berry’s Guidelines for Care “When you see someone on the street who’s shouting at somebody who doesn’t appear to be there, often the solution to that is not jail. It’s a sandwich and a water and a quiet place to be.”
Hospice Abuse? This is an abusive system masquerading as help!
This is the world of the ego!
Always scheming and always coming up short of solutions.
God help us from within as the without is going to hell.
Not permanently, of course. God's Will allows us to go our own way...for only so long, then Cause and Effect kick in and we deal with the consequences.
I think that that those currently ruining Clallam County in their positions of power are not completely Godless, but they believe they ARE 'little gods' (false prophets) and therefore do not have to answer to the public.
Highly distorted views/brainwashing/guilt complexes, making things much, much worse.
NOzias and FrenchFry ARE socialist/communists in action, if not in declaration. By their fruits ye shall know them.😳
These socialists who are actually cowardly communists, very rarely admit it, but as a general rule they really don't believe in or care about God (The Creator) at all~! I have personally infiltrated the ranks of these Democrat and RINO "socialists" for over 50 years now, and even the ones who attend church, the "paper Christians" who fake their so-called "belief" in God, will eventually admit that they do actually have their doubts but that they want to keep up their illusion for personal image and/or financial gain purposes! Sometimes you have to befriend them and get them liquored up, but they will eventually admit that they are actually Godless, most of the time... It is like the ones in the Masonic Lodge who are really only there for the power of the community insiders who will support their personal businesses, but they only go through the motions of helping others when they need to maintain their standing in the lodge! Just because someone is in a group of good folks, does NOT mean that they really honestly belong their~! Socialists are in fact really communists, and ALL of them as a general rule are Godless and many actually not only HATE God "The Creator", but they in fact worship Satan~! Baal~! This can be verified very easily if you know where to look! Read Albert Pike's book; "Morals and Dogma" VERY carefully, and you will find the admission that The Masons worship Satan believe it or not~! ALL Americans should learn everything that they can about Albert Pike ASAP! Most low-level Masons are decent folks and have no clue what they have signed up for, what they have given their oaths for, or how they have been lured into serving the REAL criminals of humanity~! JFK Sr. warned about "secret organizations/societies" that endangered America and ALL Americans, just before he was killed by The Deep State (AKA; "The Criminals of Humanity"). This is ALL verifiable in the historic record~!
Mike, thank you for spelling this out. I can’t wrap my head around a public health professional that doesn’t seem to have any knowledge of public health. If the ill fated Harm Reduction is her claim to fame, similar programs have been vacated all over the country because they fail to benefit anyone but medical supply companies. If you call crack pipes a medical supply ? Wouldn’t you be so personally embarrassed to do your paid position so poorly?
What did they do, the three stooges, pay off her student loans? Someone help me understand this. A masters degree in Public Health would qualify a person to be eligible for such a job. Maybe being a “doctor” and a public health officer is too much. I’ve never seen or heard any degreed person seem so inept at a job. It makes me furious, the money wasted, and recovery isn’t the program goal. What is wrong with Clallam County? Since health policies impact everyone, I’d say that’s what’s wrong.
Clearly, the County health officer is so married to her policies that she can't see that her policies just aren't working, and haven't been for a long time. How does that saying go,,,the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result...something like that. The only thing her program promotes is her own job longevity. It's time to fire her and get someone who knows human nature.
Neither Port Angeles nor Clallam County has enough beds or enough money to arrest, prosecute and jail everyone who commits such misdemeanor crimes as disorderly conduct or sleeping on public property. Involuntary hospitalization without criminal prosecution is almost certainly not legal, and in any event would be prohibitively expensive. What other solutions are available?
That's where people with differing ideas come to the table to discuss solutions. All we ever see are people in mind-numbed lockstep agreeing to the same failed policies and solutions. The very, very first step is to defund all programs immediately and see what these people do next. Money is the root of all evil.
IMO, there's never a solution to the maladies of where humanity is. It doesn't mean that we don't arrest when crimes occur. It also doesn't mean that everyone gets hooked-n-booked at once. You have to start somewhere to bring some reasonableness back.
Perps are conniving people. Jail is their university to better their skills and learn where to maximize their efforts, and avoid situations where their efforts will meet resistance.
The community of dopers and ne-er do wells are often a subset of the perp community and also "learn" where best to operate. Watch enough interviews of people on the streets and the underlying theme is that WA-PA-PT etc are easy places to live because the handouts are free and you don't get hassled.
That vibe needs to change.
Mental institutions are a problem indeed. Where is WASAC with pushing for the state to deal with this?
WASAC is way too tied to the homeless industrial complex. This guy in public psychosis is a job creator to them. I first began to understand the homeless industrial complex in Clallam when Mr. DeBoer commented on a post about Horace (PA folks, if you know you know) being a "job creator" because of the many outreach workers and services his presence required
They are intentionally overwhelming our system in order to demoralize us, so we will give in to whatever fascist controls they will apply as social order breaks down.
They need the correct diagnosis. Mental illness is a sick brain requiring much hospitalization and treatments. Mental disorders are correctable once a patient gets out of illegal drug use cycle. Both very different yet patients self medicate on illegal drugs.mental illness (diagnosis’s) can put a person on SSI. Which I think a good many of our homeless know this and use their cash for drugs, all other needs can come from bleeding hearts that want to feel good about their own messed up life.
Don’t Build It, And They Won’t Come. Oh too late! WTHell?
I cringe with you. I’ve worked with top quality public health professionals (Seattle-King County Health Dept) and I don’t think she would qualify as a dependable medical assistant/health records.🥲☹️
It seems really easy for the CC mafia to just kick the can down the road. These people are not getting well by this taxpayer therapy. When do we do the hard stuff and put these people in jail or treatment?The dealing with this problem the way we are will only get worse. Taxpayers need to DEMAND that we alter our approach to this problem of drugs now.
We have been demanding, Jedj. We need to circumvent the local piggy bank and go to the federal piggy bank, you know the one stuffed with IOUs, and demand that the Feds defund our state's programs, including NGOs. Then watch them do a 180 and fall flat on their faces.
This county is so broke. If the OMC goes broke are us taxpayers on the hook for that? Good question nobody is answering. Somebody has to pay it. Are the leaders of CC not telling us?
We are reliant on Grant Money, which either comes through borrowing from 'The Fed'
(using current and future generations as collateral)...(Do you think the global banksters are loaning us tens-of-trillions of 'dollars' because they want us to do well?)...
Or it comes through 'private' billionaire class 'Grants'. Either way, we are beholden to those with the 'strings of control' attached. 'They' give the $$ AND direct (from behind the scene) how to disperse the $$.
Our actual productive economy is weak, so we obviously cannot sustain and support a mental institution or compassion farm without 'outside help' but the 'outside help' has its own agenda(s). Pray without ceasing.🥸
If they don’t hit rock bottom where there truly are no options left, counties like Clallam for what ever reason, will keep using our tax dollars on people that don’t care about themselves. I’d rather feed stray dogs and cats. They were never given a choice to F. Their lives up.
I’d rather feed seagulls and raccoons. Ok you get it. This is madness! If this wasted tax money doesn’t make you furious, well good for you. Maybe you aren’t at a place where you care about incompetence in government.
Thank you, Jeff, even though a shorted version, a powerful one. You are spot on with the quote
“One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.” — Milton Friedman
And that is exactly what we saw at the last BOH meeting this week, the followers of Berry are praising the intentions. Not a single one of them could bring forth any metrics showing how many have recovered from addiction. The person, an example, in the video clip needs inpatient serious treatment beyond a sandwich, water and a quiet place. I would ask, has Berry approached any of the people experiencing this and taken them in for her “treatment”?
It’s easy to make grand intentions, not so easy to get the results. They’re fooling enough of the people around here to make them believe that, pulling at the heartstrings with words of “compassion”, and “dignity”. True to those words would be inpatient treatment. Absolutely Jake is right, public safety is first and foremost, without it…. well, we are seeing what happenes right before our eyes. This will not stop until we change leadership in this county, starting this November with Jake. We can do this…
I appreciate the fact that everyone is concerned when someone is obviously having hallucinations, but offering a sandwich and water during a psychotic break (regardless of whether fueled by drugs, alcohol, or mental illness) does not end the psychosis. What happens if he believes you gave him poison and decides to provide his own 'harm reduction' by eliminating the person handing him the sandwich? You all are playing with fire and handing those who are ill the matches. You've seen it play out a hundred times and yet you refuse to acknowledge the reality of the situation. All the sandwiches for them and gold stars on your foreheads are not saving anything except for your altruistic beliefs.....that man is still deeply disturbed and dangerous.
Wow, maybe Dr Berry will read this and a dim light will glow from her own misconceptions about public health and the ridiculous use of two words never meant to go together “HARM REDUCTION”. Harm=bad
Reduction=not a measure of anything. I want my damn tax money back for this ill conceived program of failure.
The same goes for them telling us that everyone should carry narcan. One of the first stories I remember hearing about it was when an officer was killed by the person he'd just brought back to life. No thanks.
And they don't even demand a modicum of responsibility from them, like returning used syringes for new ones. No, those in charge simply let the used syringes lie in creek beds, on beaches, and in public parks, while they demand more. This is the exact definition of insanity-- we are governed by the insane who keep doing the same thing over and over and over again, expecting different results. Or, if they're NOT insane, they clearly WANT this to continue (so they can launder the money?). In either case, it is time for SANE governance! The 3 miscreanteers need to be voted out and SANE representatives of the CITIZENS of Clallam County must replace them.
This so sad that his mental illness will only get worst the more he uses drugs. Can we say apocalypse now?
These people should be taken to treatment, or mental health and not continue living in the drug scene. Recent towns are now getting tough on this, they stopped harm reduction, they arrest and put in jail or you go through treatment and I’m not talking 30 day treatment. It’s a long haul to get someone off of drugs.
I watched a lady yesterday having an epic meltdown at Carrie Blake dog park.
She was homeless and living in her car, an older lady, she sounded like she had been drinking.
Apparently she had left her car windows rolled down and someone had helped themselves to some of her belongings while she was not in her vehicle.
It sounded like a set of horse lamps had been stolen???
I don’t know exactly, she was screaming so loud that it was incoherent for most of the half hour episode.
She was on the phone with someone, possibly the police, but she was so upset and LOUD that it was hard to tell what exactly had happened.
I felt really bad for her but at the same time she was unhinged enough that I was not brave enough to approach her to offer assistance.
I quietly watched from the dog park fence as she ranted into her phone and dumped her other belongings from her car onto the parking lot.
The dog park emptied FAST and the episode continued on and on until that whole side of the park was empty.
Eventually she began putting things back in her car, still screaming, and drove away, still on the phone.
I had never seen the woman before and the fact that she left her windows down probably means she’s new in town. Even she was appalled that her stuff had been stolen while visiting Carrie Blake!!!!!
Maybe it was “hose clamps” or jumper cables just a guess because I don’t know what horse lamps are, in this century or ever! It can be frightening to be around crazy people coming unhinged. Yes, politically incorrect words, don’t care they are nuts ruining a once happy small town. And when it turns into a mini PA who will we blame? The “do nothing “ commissioners come to mind first and foremost. Jake is right, if we don’t feel safe, that changes everything in your life. And people having a psychotic episode are scary. Never try to help them. They will think you’re the devil and do not understand a word-you say. Like having a legal discussion with a two year old in the middle of a tantrum. Don’t waste your time. Unfortunately I’m speaking from experience and they are worse than your average sloppy drunk!! ( or two year old for that matter)
Jeff you pressed my hot button today. We don’t have to let a handful of drug induced deadbeats take away Sequim. Okay I’m on vacation Jeff and I wasn’t going to read CCW. But I’m addicted to the truth and you got me hooked, mister!
Hoping it’s a great fair and thank you to volunteers that do the heavy lifting to make the county look good.
Yep Susan, I read that episode from the moment I heard the incoherent shrieking.
My humanity wanted to reach out to her, but my common sense screamed “not on my watch”!
Seems to me that a massive recent influx of new neighbors was recently pushed into Clallam County and each batch gets worse and worse.
I couldn’t help but notice that Mike French was all alone all day on Friday at his fair booth while the Jake Seegers booth was over flowing with visitors!!!!
Yet the health department does not measure outcomes: how many people entered treatment, how many transitioned into recovery, or how many returned to the workforce. -------- Because they know it would prove the epic fail and totally blow their agenda out of the water.
That makes me furious when an expensive, proven failure of a program doesn’t have any measurable data. Guess they don’t need it.A Complete failure is all the numbers in one place. Besides we don’t want our career drug addicts getting HIV/AIDS
Oh my "Dr" berry is going to flip out about attacking her with this one. Oh well.
While a short one today Jeff it packed a punch with power.
The fella in the video is another hurt that those "in charge" will allow another human to be so helpless. Great point regarding him thinking the sandwich given to him could be poisoned. A possible very real thought for him in his condition. :(
Dr Berry should be humiliated because of her horrible performance in public health.
She should slip out of town when no one is looking bc no one cares. Zero value to community. Dr Berry is that what you aspired to be after all that education? Well you nailed it !
A young man we know became lost in the video-gaming world and it almost cost him his life and perhaps his soul. He did become paranoid that his food was being poisoned and it took several months in hospital to get things to a functional level and he's doing much better (than I expected...my bad). No substance abuse except the gaming world!😳
It is very clear that Allison Berry is the first one to need a personal "time out" (without pay) and perhaps a sandwich, bottle of water, and a quiet place to be "parked" (like a prison cell), because her dramatically failed malpractice laden policies have directly resulted in the obvious decline of Clallam County and the injuries and deaths if literally hundreds of people within our community~! I would be inclined to suggest that " sour rotten Berry" pull her head out of her backside and go back to college and medical school, however very clearly colleges and medical schools have become breeding grounds of the Insane for Individuals who are SO mentally perverted, that they put their "feel good" political policies ahead of actually helping anyone and treating patients with valid standard medical protocols that have been time tested for well over 200 years. I also question if Berry ever graduated college and/or medical school, as well as if she successfully legitimately passed the standard tests to so-called "practice medicine", or if she entirely cheated and defrauded the system all of her short disastrous life? Like the rest of these socialist & communist human recking balls, Berry has left a wake of death and destruction in her path, from her local part in the mass murder COVID malpractice policies to this absolutely reprehensible "Harm Reduction" BS~! Is Allison Berry INTENTIONALLY and WILLFULLY playing a criminal role in the communist Globalist "de-population" agenda~? Or is Berry just stupid? With a horrific so-called "health official" like Berry, the good folks of Clallam County sure don't need any more enemies who are Hell bent on these very obvious "Harm Increasing" policies~! Thank you Jake Seegers for having the backbone to introduce a FAR more Intelligent common-sense way of thinking to the good folks of Clallam County who deserve better~!
Mike, I keep writing about Berry and her lack of knowledge. I don’t know if people don’t believe it or choose not to care. It effectively makes the area less livable. Congratulations Berry. You’ve been a complete failure. She never has an educated opinion of why her actions aren’t working. She doesn’t even acknowledge it. Most people know they are burned out losers but not Berry. She has 3 people that support her work. Huey, Dewey, and Lewie! Okay I am getting off the site now. Her poor management is more upsetting to me than it is to her. Is that possible, yes!
Grow up Allison. This is not a good fit for your skill level, if that’s what you call it !
Thank you for continuing to write about "sour Berry" because the only way that some people will pay attention is if they happen to read things that will resonate with them! Like you, we here are absolutely astounded by the apparent lack of many folks to appreciate the horrific damage that Berry has caused SO many in Clallam County and I am sure Jefferson County as well. I really don't know if people are ignorant of basic healthcare and medical protocol procedures, if people are completely unaware of the REAL news that has been out for years now, or if they are just apathetic and don't think that Berry's continuing medical malpractice will ever harm them? This is absolutely shocking, especially given the truth that has now been revealed about Fauci and ALL of the criminals in government that knowingly followed the mass murder COVID genocide so-called "mandates" and VERY dangerous and deadly vaccines~! When we lived in Hawaii on The Big Island there was a relatively minor earthquake that didn't really cause much damage and no one was seriously injured, but it opened up some volcano vents, and the volcanic discharge (known as "VOG") made many very sick and it was miserable trying to breathe for many who lived in the fallout zone all the way to Maui and across the islands. Flights into the Kona airport were re-routed so the tourists could not see the MASSIVE VOG plume! We waited several months and then evacuated back to the mainland due to health concerns for ourselves and all of our animals~! We held a yard sale before we left, and one Hawaiian idiot actually said; "VOG no affect me"! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! I just looked at him and told him that "VOG very negatively effects ALL living things, no exceptions, weather they believe it or not"! It could be no other way! I used to wonder why SO many didn't bother to save themselves and went down on the Titanic (especially when numerous lifeboats only had a few people in them), and when I was younger, I visited Pompeii Italy to see the destruction and dead where many slow-witted residents ignored the eruptions of Vesuvius and got killed long ago, and I always wondered why SO many Jews never left Germany when Hitler got into power, but now we all know that there are just a LOT of incredibly stupid people who never want to do the right thing before it is too late~! The brighter folks do try to do the right things to save themselves and others, but MOST never do. Those of "us" who are here specifically to help others have a terrible duty and unfortunately when it comes down to it, this is a God created "survival of the fittest" world and there is not much that anyone can do to change that~! MANY stupid and ignorant people all over the world were slaughtered by the COVID vaccines! My wife and I lost well over one million dollars, which we could NOT afford, trying to save these insane people from the dangerous and deadly COVID vaccines because we had absolute proof that they were injuring and killing folks who got the mRNA laced bioweapon. We did our duty but like many others who sacrificed their financial health and some who were even killed for standing against these criminals of humanity like Berry, we all paid a massive price just for doing the right thing in this socialist = communist Hell of a country and world~! Ha! So rotten Berry and the three stooges of this local communist nightmare keep robbing the people of Clallam County blind, as "we" continue to pay for our own destruction~! Nice huh? If the so-called "legal system" here was legitimate, these criminals of humanity would NEVER have attempted to destroy our community and harm folks, but for now all we can do is what the good folks on The Watchdog and around our community have been doing. Sooner or later, there is going to be a HUGE catastrophe when enough folks wake up because they can no longer hide from the truth! Have a mellow evening and stay vigilant as you keep the faith~! Stay away from the crazy people because very clearly there are a LOT of COMPLETELY insane people out there~!

Mike, thank you for spelling this out. I can’t wrap my head around a public health professional that doesn’t seem to have any knowledge of public health.

Excellent comment!
Berry must go.
Good comment, Patriot Jennifer~!
Sincerely, Mike
Clearly, the County health officer is so married to her policies that she can't see that her policies just aren't working, and haven't been for a long time. How does that saying go,,,the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result...something like that. The only thing her program promotes is her own job longevity. It's time to fire her and get someone who knows human nature.
Harm reduction perpetuates actual harm
That's how the money machine works. If you solve it the funds dry up.
That statement applies to a host of ngo's and other organizations.
zero tolerance, tough love, inpatient treatment, structure, and job training. No other option to change the paths.
Each time Dr. 🫐 opens her pie hole I cringe.
Why are the two options so far apart from what's needed? Jail? On what planet is she from?
Absolutely everyone understands that jail, in this situation, is not an option for so many reasons. So why does she frame it this way?
Conversely water and a sandwich begs the question whether she got her doctorate from a Cracker Jacks box.
The bar for professional qualifications has been lowered over many decades.
The only thing required for advancement is ambition and dogma/doctrine application.
A willingness to 'do as you're told' by the 'man behind the curtain'!
Sad and Scary!😱
SO true!
Neither Port Angeles nor Clallam County has enough beds or enough money to arrest, prosecute and jail everyone who commits such misdemeanor crimes as disorderly conduct or sleeping on public property. Involuntary hospitalization without criminal prosecution is almost certainly not legal, and in any event would be prohibitively expensive. What other solutions are available?
That's where people with differing ideas come to the table to discuss solutions. All we ever see are people in mind-numbed lockstep agreeing to the same failed policies and solutions. The very, very first step is to defund all programs immediately and see what these people do next. Money is the root of all evil.
The love and abuse of money is certainly (evil)...opposite of (live)!
They could even hoard, control and misuse beads!🥸
IMO, there's never a solution to the maladies of where humanity is. It doesn't mean that we don't arrest when crimes occur. It also doesn't mean that everyone gets hooked-n-booked at once. You have to start somewhere to bring some reasonableness back.
Perps are conniving people. Jail is their university to better their skills and learn where to maximize their efforts, and avoid situations where their efforts will meet resistance.
The community of dopers and ne-er do wells are often a subset of the perp community and also "learn" where best to operate. Watch enough interviews of people on the streets and the underlying theme is that WA-PA-PT etc are easy places to live because the handouts are free and you don't get hassled.
That vibe needs to change.
Mental institutions are a problem indeed. Where is WASAC with pushing for the state to deal with this?
WASAC is way too tied to the homeless industrial complex. This guy in public psychosis is a job creator to them. I first began to understand the homeless industrial complex in Clallam when Mr. DeBoer commented on a post about Horace (PA folks, if you know you know) being a "job creator" because of the many outreach workers and services his presence required
They are intentionally overwhelming our system in order to demoralize us, so we will give in to whatever fascist controls they will apply as social order breaks down.
A Plan...Not an accident!😎
They push you down the stairs and at the bottom sell you the crutches .
They need the correct diagnosis. Mental illness is a sick brain requiring much hospitalization and treatments. Mental disorders are correctable once a patient gets out of illegal drug use cycle. Both very different yet patients self medicate on illegal drugs.mental illness (diagnosis’s) can put a person on SSI. Which I think a good many of our homeless know this and use their cash for drugs, all other needs can come from bleeding hearts that want to feel good about their own messed up life.
Don’t Build It, And They Won’t Come. Oh too late! WTHell?
I cringe with you. I’ve worked with top quality public health professionals (Seattle-King County Health Dept) and I don’t think she would qualify as a dependable medical assistant/health records.🥲☹️
It seems really easy for the CC mafia to just kick the can down the road. These people are not getting well by this taxpayer therapy. When do we do the hard stuff and put these people in jail or treatment?The dealing with this problem the way we are will only get worse. Taxpayers need to DEMAND that we alter our approach to this problem of drugs now.
We have been demanding, Jedj. We need to circumvent the local piggy bank and go to the federal piggy bank, you know the one stuffed with IOUs, and demand that the Feds defund our state's programs, including NGOs. Then watch them do a 180 and fall flat on their faces.
This county is so broke. If the OMC goes broke are us taxpayers on the hook for that? Good question nobody is answering. Somebody has to pay it. Are the leaders of CC not telling us?
We are reliant on Grant Money, which either comes through borrowing from 'The Fed'
(using current and future generations as collateral)...(Do you think the global banksters are loaning us tens-of-trillions of 'dollars' because they want us to do well?)...
Or it comes through 'private' billionaire class 'Grants'. Either way, we are beholden to those with the 'strings of control' attached. 'They' give the $$ AND direct (from behind the scene) how to disperse the $$.
Our actual productive economy is weak, so we obviously cannot sustain and support a mental institution or compassion farm without 'outside help' but the 'outside help' has its own agenda(s). Pray without ceasing.🥸
If they don’t hit rock bottom where there truly are no options left, counties like Clallam for what ever reason, will keep using our tax dollars on people that don’t care about themselves. I’d rather feed stray dogs and cats. They were never given a choice to F. Their lives up.
I’d rather feed seagulls and raccoons. Ok you get it. This is madness! If this wasted tax money doesn’t make you furious, well good for you. Maybe you aren’t at a place where you care about incompetence in government.
Thank you, Jeff, even though a shorted version, a powerful one. You are spot on with the quote
“One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.” — Milton Friedman
And that is exactly what we saw at the last BOH meeting this week, the followers of Berry are praising the intentions. Not a single one of them could bring forth any metrics showing how many have recovered from addiction. The person, an example, in the video clip needs inpatient serious treatment beyond a sandwich, water and a quiet place. I would ask, has Berry approached any of the people experiencing this and taken them in for her “treatment”?
It’s easy to make grand intentions, not so easy to get the results. They’re fooling enough of the people around here to make them believe that, pulling at the heartstrings with words of “compassion”, and “dignity”. True to those words would be inpatient treatment. Absolutely Jake is right, public safety is first and foremost, without it…. well, we are seeing what happenes right before our eyes. This will not stop until we change leadership in this county, starting this November with Jake. We can do this…
Yes we can starting with the wedge VOTE JAKE!
I appreciate the fact that everyone is concerned when someone is obviously having hallucinations, but offering a sandwich and water during a psychotic break (regardless of whether fueled by drugs, alcohol, or mental illness) does not end the psychosis. What happens if he believes you gave him poison and decides to provide his own 'harm reduction' by eliminating the person handing him the sandwich? You all are playing with fire and handing those who are ill the matches. You've seen it play out a hundred times and yet you refuse to acknowledge the reality of the situation. All the sandwiches for them and gold stars on your foreheads are not saving anything except for your altruistic beliefs.....that man is still deeply disturbed and dangerous.
Great points, Teri! Who wants to be the first recipient of the "what if"? You first, Dr. Berry.
Wow, maybe Dr Berry will read this and a dim light will glow from her own misconceptions about public health and the ridiculous use of two words never meant to go together “HARM REDUCTION”. Harm=bad
Reduction=not a measure of anything. I want my damn tax money back for this ill conceived program of failure.
"Playing with fire and handing those who are ill the matches."
Bingo-Rama-Ding-Dong! Spot on! 😳
The same goes for them telling us that everyone should carry narcan. One of the first stories I remember hearing about it was when an officer was killed by the person he'd just brought back to life. No thanks.
I've never heard of anyone being brought back from the brink of death from addiction being happy to have lost that high. They are beyond angry.
And they don't even demand a modicum of responsibility from them, like returning used syringes for new ones. No, those in charge simply let the used syringes lie in creek beds, on beaches, and in public parks, while they demand more. This is the exact definition of insanity-- we are governed by the insane who keep doing the same thing over and over and over again, expecting different results. Or, if they're NOT insane, they clearly WANT this to continue (so they can launder the money?). In either case, it is time for SANE governance! The 3 miscreanteers need to be voted out and SANE representatives of the CITIZENS of Clallam County must replace them.
Insane, either way!🤪
This so sad that his mental illness will only get worst the more he uses drugs. Can we say apocalypse now?
These people should be taken to treatment, or mental health and not continue living in the drug scene. Recent towns are now getting tough on this, they stopped harm reduction, they arrest and put in jail or you go through treatment and I’m not talking 30 day treatment. It’s a long haul to get someone off of drugs.
I watched a lady yesterday having an epic meltdown at Carrie Blake dog park.
She was homeless and living in her car, an older lady, she sounded like she had been drinking.
Apparently she had left her car windows rolled down and someone had helped themselves to some of her belongings while she was not in her vehicle.
It sounded like a set of horse lamps had been stolen???
I don’t know exactly, she was screaming so loud that it was incoherent for most of the half hour episode.
She was on the phone with someone, possibly the police, but she was so upset and LOUD that it was hard to tell what exactly had happened.
I felt really bad for her but at the same time she was unhinged enough that I was not brave enough to approach her to offer assistance.
I quietly watched from the dog park fence as she ranted into her phone and dumped her other belongings from her car onto the parking lot.
The dog park emptied FAST and the episode continued on and on until that whole side of the park was empty.
Eventually she began putting things back in her car, still screaming, and drove away, still on the phone.
I had never seen the woman before and the fact that she left her windows down probably means she’s new in town. Even she was appalled that her stuff had been stolen while visiting Carrie Blake!!!!!
What is Sequim becoming?
Maybe it was “hose clamps” or jumper cables just a guess because I don’t know what horse lamps are, in this century or ever! It can be frightening to be around crazy people coming unhinged. Yes, politically incorrect words, don’t care they are nuts ruining a once happy small town. And when it turns into a mini PA who will we blame? The “do nothing “ commissioners come to mind first and foremost. Jake is right, if we don’t feel safe, that changes everything in your life. And people having a psychotic episode are scary. Never try to help them. They will think you’re the devil and do not understand a word-you say. Like having a legal discussion with a two year old in the middle of a tantrum. Don’t waste your time. Unfortunately I’m speaking from experience and they are worse than your average sloppy drunk!! ( or two year old for that matter)
Jeff you pressed my hot button today. We don’t have to let a handful of drug induced deadbeats take away Sequim. Okay I’m on vacation Jeff and I wasn’t going to read CCW. But I’m addicted to the truth and you got me hooked, mister!
Hoping it’s a great fair and thank you to volunteers that do the heavy lifting to make the county look good.
Yep Susan, I read that episode from the moment I heard the incoherent shrieking.
My humanity wanted to reach out to her, but my common sense screamed “not on my watch”!
Seems to me that a massive recent influx of new neighbors was recently pushed into Clallam County and each batch gets worse and worse.
I couldn’t help but notice that Mike French was all alone all day on Friday at his fair booth while the Jake Seegers booth was over flowing with visitors!!!!
Well that's a very good sign Vote Jake the wedge.
The fact that “harm reduction” has no plan for its own termination is telling.
Yet the health department does not measure outcomes: how many people entered treatment, how many transitioned into recovery, or how many returned to the workforce. -------- Because they know it would prove the epic fail and totally blow their agenda out of the water.
Control and concealment...AND, it's impossible to clearly see the problem when your paycheck/grant depends on you Not seeing the problem.
The mentally ill, harming the more mentally ill!😷
That makes me furious when an expensive, proven failure of a program doesn’t have any measurable data. Guess they don’t need it.A Complete failure is all the numbers in one place. Besides we don’t want our career drug addicts getting HIV/AIDS
Do we see 'Scary Berry' out in the street handing out sandwiches or inviting these lost souls to her patio?
Hypocrisy runs deep in these ones!
They may be our brothers and sisters in Source, but they are asleep and deluded and believe that coddling will heal all. Obviously NOT true!
Jake Seegers, on the other hand is out there in the midst of it and getting the facts to those who will listen! God Bless us everyone!🙏🏼☺️
Oh my "Dr" berry is going to flip out about attacking her with this one. Oh well.
While a short one today Jeff it packed a punch with power.
The fella in the video is another hurt that those "in charge" will allow another human to be so helpless. Great point regarding him thinking the sandwich given to him could be poisoned. A possible very real thought for him in his condition. :(
Dr Berry should be humiliated because of her horrible performance in public health.
She should slip out of town when no one is looking bc no one cares. Zero value to community. Dr Berry is that what you aspired to be after all that education? Well you nailed it !
A young man we know became lost in the video-gaming world and it almost cost him his life and perhaps his soul. He did become paranoid that his food was being poisoned and it took several months in hospital to get things to a functional level and he's doing much better (than I expected...my bad). No substance abuse except the gaming world!😳
It is very clear that Allison Berry is the first one to need a personal "time out" (without pay) and perhaps a sandwich, bottle of water, and a quiet place to be "parked" (like a prison cell), because her dramatically failed malpractice laden policies have directly resulted in the obvious decline of Clallam County and the injuries and deaths if literally hundreds of people within our community~! I would be inclined to suggest that " sour rotten Berry" pull her head out of her backside and go back to college and medical school, however very clearly colleges and medical schools have become breeding grounds of the Insane for Individuals who are SO mentally perverted, that they put their "feel good" political policies ahead of actually helping anyone and treating patients with valid standard medical protocols that have been time tested for well over 200 years. I also question if Berry ever graduated college and/or medical school, as well as if she successfully legitimately passed the standard tests to so-called "practice medicine", or if she entirely cheated and defrauded the system all of her short disastrous life? Like the rest of these socialist & communist human recking balls, Berry has left a wake of death and destruction in her path, from her local part in the mass murder COVID malpractice policies to this absolutely reprehensible "Harm Reduction" BS~! Is Allison Berry INTENTIONALLY and WILLFULLY playing a criminal role in the communist Globalist "de-population" agenda~? Or is Berry just stupid? With a horrific so-called "health official" like Berry, the good folks of Clallam County sure don't need any more enemies who are Hell bent on these very obvious "Harm Increasing" policies~! Thank you Jake Seegers for having the backbone to introduce a FAR more Intelligent common-sense way of thinking to the good folks of Clallam County who deserve better~!
Sincerely, Mike
Mike, I keep writing about Berry and her lack of knowledge. I don’t know if people don’t believe it or choose not to care. It effectively makes the area less livable. Congratulations Berry. You’ve been a complete failure. She never has an educated opinion of why her actions aren’t working. She doesn’t even acknowledge it. Most people know they are burned out losers but not Berry. She has 3 people that support her work. Huey, Dewey, and Lewie! Okay I am getting off the site now. Her poor management is more upsetting to me than it is to her. Is that possible, yes!
Grow up Allison. This is not a good fit for your skill level, if that’s what you call it !
Good afternoon, Patriot Susan C. Bonallo~!
Thank you for continuing to write about "sour Berry" because the only way that some people will pay attention is if they happen to read things that will resonate with them! Like you, we here are absolutely astounded by the apparent lack of many folks to appreciate the horrific damage that Berry has caused SO many in Clallam County and I am sure Jefferson County as well. I really don't know if people are ignorant of basic healthcare and medical protocol procedures, if people are completely unaware of the REAL news that has been out for years now, or if they are just apathetic and don't think that Berry's continuing medical malpractice will ever harm them? This is absolutely shocking, especially given the truth that has now been revealed about Fauci and ALL of the criminals in government that knowingly followed the mass murder COVID genocide so-called "mandates" and VERY dangerous and deadly vaccines~! When we lived in Hawaii on The Big Island there was a relatively minor earthquake that didn't really cause much damage and no one was seriously injured, but it opened up some volcano vents, and the volcanic discharge (known as "VOG") made many very sick and it was miserable trying to breathe for many who lived in the fallout zone all the way to Maui and across the islands. Flights into the Kona airport were re-routed so the tourists could not see the MASSIVE VOG plume! We waited several months and then evacuated back to the mainland due to health concerns for ourselves and all of our animals~! We held a yard sale before we left, and one Hawaiian idiot actually said; "VOG no affect me"! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! I just looked at him and told him that "VOG very negatively effects ALL living things, no exceptions, weather they believe it or not"! It could be no other way! I used to wonder why SO many didn't bother to save themselves and went down on the Titanic (especially when numerous lifeboats only had a few people in them), and when I was younger, I visited Pompeii Italy to see the destruction and dead where many slow-witted residents ignored the eruptions of Vesuvius and got killed long ago, and I always wondered why SO many Jews never left Germany when Hitler got into power, but now we all know that there are just a LOT of incredibly stupid people who never want to do the right thing before it is too late~! The brighter folks do try to do the right things to save themselves and others, but MOST never do. Those of "us" who are here specifically to help others have a terrible duty and unfortunately when it comes down to it, this is a God created "survival of the fittest" world and there is not much that anyone can do to change that~! MANY stupid and ignorant people all over the world were slaughtered by the COVID vaccines! My wife and I lost well over one million dollars, which we could NOT afford, trying to save these insane people from the dangerous and deadly COVID vaccines because we had absolute proof that they were injuring and killing folks who got the mRNA laced bioweapon. We did our duty but like many others who sacrificed their financial health and some who were even killed for standing against these criminals of humanity like Berry, we all paid a massive price just for doing the right thing in this socialist = communist Hell of a country and world~! Ha! So rotten Berry and the three stooges of this local communist nightmare keep robbing the people of Clallam County blind, as "we" continue to pay for our own destruction~! Nice huh? If the so-called "legal system" here was legitimate, these criminals of humanity would NEVER have attempted to destroy our community and harm folks, but for now all we can do is what the good folks on The Watchdog and around our community have been doing. Sooner or later, there is going to be a HUGE catastrophe when enough folks wake up because they can no longer hide from the truth! Have a mellow evening and stay vigilant as you keep the faith~! Stay away from the crazy people because very clearly there are a LOT of COMPLETELY insane people out there~!
Sincerely, Mike
Thank you for taking the time to still bring new content to your blog, Jeff. I hope you and Jake are having fun and meeting lots of new people. Enjoy!
