National News Sept 23, 2024 In recent years, many small towns across the country have faced a concerning rise in local government corruption. Allegations of MISUSE OF POWER, FINANCIAL MISMANAGEMENT, AND A DISREGARD FOR TRANSPARENCY have increasingly surfaced, alarming residents who fear that their local officials are adopting UNETHICAL BEHAVIORS seen in national politics. This trend has raised serious questions about the state of local governance, with many wondering if it is too late to repair the damage and restore accountability...
There are growing reports of local leaders using their positions for personal gain, bending regulations, or ignoring established norms altogether. In some towns, zoning decisions are being made with little public input, contracts are awarded without proper bidding processes, and financial oversight seems to have vanished…
The big question now is whether it is too late to reverse the damage done to local governments...Local watchdog groups and citizen journalism have also played a pivotal role in exposing unethical practices...“Reforming local government will require a cultural shift,” says Norman. “People need to re-engage with their local institutions, DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY, and make it clear that CORRUPTION IS UNACCEPTABLE..
Ultimately, the question remains: will citizens take back control of their local governments, or will corruption continue to spread unchecked?
That was a good article in the Grants Pass Tribune. What a concept. Truth in media. They even mentioned Jeff in there. "Watchdog".
From wikapidia....
The phrase "deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed" means that a government's authority is legitimate only if it is based on the approval and agreement of the people it governs. This concept is a fundamental principle in democratic societies, emphasizing that the government exists to serve the interests of its citizens.
Democratic societies still have 51% deciding for the other 49%...not a good deal for the true majority, and easily manipulated into a 'bare' majority by unethical, illegal, unlawful practices.
We need to reinvent the concept of 'representation' with common sense, practical, realistic governance, not pandering to the mythical 51%.
All significant laws and policies and expenditures can be well determined by common sense and scientific processes...REAL science...not the fake shit we have been fed for decades...science doesn't lie...it reveals...it doesn't compromise...it stands in/for truth when it finds it.
As long as we run on blind emotion, we are doomed!
We pretty much are doomed... to try and survive the next little while and the pure evil and insanity playing out on Earth...no magic wands...no saviors...just strange little beings thrashing around and wallowing around in stupidity and chaos.
Real science dont lie. Its just numbers. But they have reinvented what science is. No absolutes. Unless they say it is. Thank the lawyers for that. I think 51% might be enough if they can get the cheating out. Never going to get everyone to agree on everything. But im betting, true 51% plus of real washington voters do not aggree with all the bs these snakes stand for.
That's what I meant about manipulating that 1%...the cheating and propaganda only have to 'alter' somewhat less than 1% to get the 1% 'majority'...the average voter has no idea who or what they are 'voting' for and it's too much trouble to find out and requires discernment and engagement to make a positive difference.
The rest of us get the government nobody wanted, except the people IN government and their 'owners'!😳
Return with me to those days of yesteryear, the 1780's and 1790's, when life was one helluva lot different. Look at pictures of the men signing the Declaration of Independence and framing the Constitution. They knew better than to trust the average man with the vote. Landed propeerty owners - now has given way to 1 man 1 vote, and vote early and vote frequently. Reside in the community for 5 seconds at Seal St. around Safeway, Port Angeles, under the bridges and you'll get a mail in ballot. Geez as a transient how many times can I vote.
Nature breaks every living thing down and turns it into it's basic components...what we call compost...after a brief expression of 'life'...to be reincorporated into something else...or just left to rest as no-thing.
We cannot re-incorporate the rotten material that has become our 'government'...because it is rotten!
We have to start over, if We The People want sound management, of OUR resources.
The difference between Us and nature is that We can try to keep patching the rot, while nature just takes care of business.
True Law came from the necessity and common sense of what works and what doesn't over time, by experience.
Higher Law came to us from consciousness higher than our own because we have limited wisdom and a propensity for helping the stupid survive...nature would never let 'stupid' survive.
And no sane culture would let 'stupid' run the community.
Truth, Justice, Liberty, Accountability, Tough Love and COMMON SENSE prevail!😎
I really like Marolee Smith's idea of a Citizen Financial Oversight Committee. That would get us ordinary taxpayers at the City Council and BoCC tables. I would apply! Thank you, Jeff. As always, a very important cache of much needed information to keep us all thinking, asking, and acting. I love CCWD!!
Thank you so much, Jeff, for sharing my memes with an awesome shoutout! I hope they make others laugh. Thanks to all the new subscribers too! You never fail with great local insight into what goes on around this area, and I’ve got more memes churning in my mind while housewifing today.
It is going by way of Progressive Democrats. If you look back at what happened to William Armacost, the previous mayor, who was completely ridiculed and lied about by the 'Communist party' (democrats) and got 2-1 votes for their 'stupidity', and continue to lie and hide their agenda, we are doomed.... :(
AH the PNW Home of the Wobblies back in the last century. Take a look at the paper this AM. Portland Oregon is cheering on the election of a Socialist communist to be the next mayor of NYC.
Water problems in Western Washington. Think about it. How are all those New York City dwellers able to shower even once a week. We don’t have a water problem. We have a tribes and bozos problem.
Tribal “water rights” are the poisoned fruit of the wrongful Boldt Decision that begs to be overturned.
The Travesty And Tragedy That Is The Boldt Decision, Part 3
Judge Boldt seems to have had a real problem with rights and privileges. He massages them to suit his whims. He makes rights when dealing with the tribes, "reserved rights," and when dealing with others, mere "privileges." Again he displays his ignorance or blatant disregard for truth. Privileges were something granted to a chosen few by the supreme ruler when no one had any rights. Language is important. Boldt makes an issue of it ("in common" was too difficult for the tribes, remember?) and then corrupts it whenever he gets a chance.
[He wrote, "If at this time anything concerning treaty fishing rights should be beyond
doubt or question it is the basic principle that the treaty fishing of plaintiff [*337] tribes
in this case is a reserved right and not a mere privilege. The treaty fishing in Kennedy
was held to be only a privilege under the peculiar facts of that case. Nothing faintly
comparable to those facts can be found in either Puyallup-I or the present case.
Another statement in Puyallup-I (391 U.S. p. 398, 88 S. Ct. p. 1728) concerning police
power regulation, without analysis other than as stated therein, or citation of a non dictum authority, is: "Moreover, the right [**35] to fish at those respective [usual and accustomed]
places is not an exclusive one. Rather it is one 'in common with all citizens of the
territory.' Certainly the right of the latter may be regulated. And we see no reason
why the right of the Indians may not also be regulated by an appropriate exercise
of the police power of the State."
This statement seems to say that because a state has police power to regulate fishing
privileges which the state has granted and may limit or entirely withdraw, that is
somehow a legal reason for state regulation of federal fishing rights which are expressly
reserved in a treaty which only Congress has authority to limit or modify. If that seeming
non sequitur be the law it certainly is deserving of more specific legal analysis and
justification than it has ever had in any United States Supreme Court decision."]
Note: The Supreme Court had a chance after Boldt was upheld by the 9th Circuit. It declined to hear the case.
In fairness, "privilege" was used in the Kennedy case that was cited in Puyallup-I, so Boldt was not the only judge who was confused. The words, "Moreover, the right ... is not an exclusive one. Rather it is one 'in common with all the citizens of the territory' should be all we need. We don't need to convert it to a privilege in order to regulate it. Seems our rights are regulated by the state all the time, even our Constitutional Rights. Does that convert them to mere privileges? Maybe we need to assert OUR "reserved rights." Piss off state!
Boldt makes a big issue of what the tribes did or did not intend when they agreed to the treaties. He never addresses what the nontribal citizens intended. What would they think of the Boldt Decisison? Did they believe they were making Indians the same as them as regards to off reservation fishing? Equals? Were they granting rights "in common" or guaranteeing tribes half of all future fish? Boldt took something "in common" and made it anything but, something very uncommon, something ridiculously unjust and unfair.
When the treaties were signed, did the non-Indians think they were granting "privileges" to themselves but "reserved rights" to the Indians? Insane! Every settler who fished believed he had a right to fish. Licenses weren't even required until 1914. Then they still had a right to fish. Licenses didn't convert a right to fish into a privilege to fish. Now ponder "gun rights." Are they now mere "privileges" because of all the licensing and additional reqirements?
In time Olympic Region Clean Air Agency is likely to capitulate in favor of the unhoused based on their track record in Thurston County.
ORCAA first partnered with Safer Spaces Outreach and Advocacy Program (SSOAP) aims to help decrease encampment fires, the burning of noxious garbage, and other concerns related to unsafe burning practices within encampments in Olympia, WA. This program was first conceptualized after meeting with the Olympic Regional Clean Air Agency (ORCAA), who were receiving complaints related to trash burning and fire concerns originating from various encampments in Thurston County. OlyMAP partnered with ORCAA and created a program to help address these concerns by providing support to camps through trash removal, provision of supplies to encourage safer burning practices, and alternative methods of finding warmth while living unsheltered.
But the re-education of the unhoused proved untenable so ORCAA simply eliminated a long-standing ban on residential burning in that area, explaining it as follows.
ORCAA Executive Director Jeff Johnston made clear that addressing campfires in homeless encampments was not the sole driver for the rule change, but it was part of it.
He said ORCAA has been trying to encourage safe, survival fire burning in those camps, but at the same time was telling residents they couldn’t burn at all.
Even the 'legit' burning...agricultural burning...is very poorly done, for the most part.
Burning unseasoned slash, commercial or private is the 'norm'.
We literally have the worst air quality in the state, according to the state.
We end up with a lot of the 'drift' smoke as the prevailing westerlies push it our way.
There IS a science to burning while reducing the mass pollution but there is no way to regulate it well and there is no 'permit' going to make people care about doing 'the right thing'.
You have to WANT to do the Right things for the Right reasons AND seek the science of the thing, because it's the best and highest form of that thing.
These petty little techno-tyrants trying to regulate everything with their cabbage patch rules are scary little beasts.
I would flee this ship in 2 seconds but can't do it on my own and my partner isn't ready.
I am really concerned that our property values will drop...relative to other places... because of the horror-show politics and insane taxation and crime overtaking our state...and all the low-income housing being built all around us in Carlsborg...then it would not be possible (financially). I'm not against low income people...we ARE low income people (with higher values)...but it changes the dynamics and we can do nothing about it!
The complaint in Eastern Wa. was that the fall burning was carried by the winds, causing difficulty for those driving cross state on I-90. Yeah sure, they won't put wood treated with lead based paint in the "yard" waste burn pile. Yeah but a burn permit gets the CCC more money to "grant" to the underserved. Hey, with the $5 fee we are just a heartbeat away from the "Water Steward" divvying up the waters of Clallam County.
What low income housing in Carlsborg? I know of only one that is going to be built on Mill Rd. through Habitat for Humanity hasn’t even broke ground yet. The one on West Runnion is not low income housing and the one across on the SE corner of Carlsborg and Runnion I believe is also not low income housing.
Several months ago an acquaintance shared with me the following.They were talking to two nephews as to why one of thems son had quit his job. In fact the young man had two jobs.All tribal members not local to our area.Knew them all. Grandfather,nephews, and had met the young man on a couple of occasions. All generations held jobs though their working years.The reason for quitting was the tribe they belonged to had increased the dollar amount each received to $14,000 every three months. I will leave you to your own reactions. Mine can not be written here.
JJW there are so many native elders who realize the handouts are destroying their youth and the concept of responsibility and any sort of a work ethic. Just as we realize what the handouts are doing to our Clallam County. Parallel Universes.
Exactly! as I recall is Allan’s concept & why JST doesn’t pay stipends or share tribal $$’s. Yet USA forks out money & services, boof kits, narcon, needles, $350K apartments, pizza, free transportation, poet readers…the list goes on I’m sure we’re all aware why our taxes are so high?
So when we buy gas at a local station, the tax $s go to the I-5 governor, who in turn "gifts" out the money for the boof kits, narcon, etcetera, generally contributes to the lawlessness in PA, Sequim, Forks. And if i buy gas in Blyn I support ???
It was actually 'checks' for free...girls too, but the song is talking about the residual pay-checks for playing on MTV compared to the lowly appliance store guy trying to sell stuff nobody wants or needs!
They get the girls even if they don't make a ton of money!💰
Idk if anyone here follows along w/ the national politics, but if you do you’ll notice that literally everything happening here in our little county is an echo of what’s happening on the national level. From the word salads to the raping of our wallets & more. This is an infection wrecking havoc on the health of every single citizen & our county commissioners are diligently feeding the flames. I cannot for the life of me figure out how they can continue to pretend this is the best path forward. Ozias, French & Johnson know this- WE SEE YOU. And if you continue down this trail of collapse, I’d be worried if I were you
It sickening to see: the doxing, the gaslighting, horrendous theatrics like crying about compassion for derelicts & the need for personal security detail, law enforcement ignoring & outright condemning good people that actually need protection, pushing for funding & policies that are visibly deteriorating our society. We’re a small section of the nation tucked up in the corner of the country but we’re seeing the same abuse of power on the local level. It’s staggering.
Maybe after the collapse of Clallam County, they will be made honorary tribal members. Wonder if we can become a tribe? maybe a church??, let's call our selves the Colonials. Checkerboard look towards our property. Go to a meeting like Sequim City Council and see the police in attendance. Yet these Sequimites are the same ones that probably decry the national efforts of cleaning up the mess that Biden and Harris promoted.
When it comes to many of those who run local government, I like to remember the fact that, in any given population, 50% of the people -1 are under average intelligence. Those who run JKT do not fall into this category, do they? They know how to milk the government teat until it’s dry.
I keep wondering if Ron Allen would have been as successful as business man without the gov't playbook, gov't lawyers, gov't money, and all other gov't handouts.
If Commissioner Ozias is exploring co-management agreements with local tribes for our county parks, then are the ‘grant money and tax money non ‘Tribe’ citizens pay to be replaced with ‘Casino’ money?
Maybe the writing on the wall? Ozias fought the gravel pit, PA fought the mill maybe the idea is no decent paying work to support middle class families, Meanwhile the tribe is pushing for a return of the land. Two movements coming together for the same objective. The last one leaving Clallam County, turn off the lights.
JKT made a statement about the govt shutdown not contributing any $$$ during shutdown but the tribe will be 'self- reliant with their own $$$ making payroll and we are going to be witnessing this historical bravery of 'self- reliance.Well this is how it should be all the time since the tribe brought in last year $ 86 million + according to a statement posted earlier this year.Doge is supposed to cut out waste and should be looking into self-reliant tribes bringing in mass $$$ millions and still getting mass taxpayer $$$.Self-reliant should mean self- sufficient and therefore need 'NO MORE FREE HARD EARNED TAXPAYER $$$.
Me too. Wish I had thought up this scheme. Taxpayers completely fund my operation. I take the CO2 out of the ocean, sell the carbon credits, store the CO2, then maybe sell it to makers of carbonated beverages. I then count my money with a wink and a grin.
The most important thing humans need to know about CO2 is that it’s a waste product of our bodies, and we don’t like the others in our noses in greater concentrations and for longer periods of time. It makes us feel too many others are around us. Abortion and depopulation, anyone?
Spiritually and Biblically speaking, CO2 represents death. Satan is Death. We decompose when we die if nature takes its course. All of the carbon in our bodies becomes CO2. We have invited Satan into our homes and schools, etc. with tighter construction, excessive exhaled CO2, and poor ventilation. And into our communities with changed emissions.
Why didn’t God put catalytic converters on fire? Shouldn’t we imitate God? What is the carbon monoxide cycle?
Some air is more equal than others especially when thinking about CO2. Think of atmospheric CO2 as the baseline for ambient/local CO2, which is then the baseline for what is indoors, inside our homes, schools, etc..
Remember when emissions change was forced on us? Did you get to vote on the change? We were told CO2 is good for us because it is good for trees. Only problem is we are not trees, and many people, especially the young and elderly, seem to be developing wooden heads. Many young are putting down roots in their parents’ basements where CO2 is often higher.
When I write about CO2, which CO2 am I addressing?
I recall 70 years ago when there were Sunday closing laws and time for God, family, and rest. Made you think. At least plan ahead so you had the things you couldn’t buy on that day. Did I just discover why we have so many seemingly brain dead types now?
If Sunday is now like every other day, 14% of the traffic could be on Sunday. But it’s the weekend. So 7%? 5%?
Some 60 years ago, women were conned, bullied, and shamed into the workplace. Why? (A subject for another day). Did this and plus Sunday difference result in a doubling of traffic and fuel consumption? (Add some additional mileage to drop kids off at daycare and more trips to the grocery store. Grab just enough for a day or two. Don’t have time to stock up for the week. There’s more also).
This was all before we heard of the man-made CO2 caused global warming lie and before we had to change emissions, which more than doubled the CO2 out of tailpipes and smokestacks.
In total, is that a quadrupling?
Anyone else sense we have been played all along?
No? Then how do you account for the fact that the climate “crisis” and energy “shortage” were used as the rationale to force us to accept higher exhaled CO2 indoors in tighter poorly ventilated homes, schools, etc.?
Especially since it is a false savings. It actually causes us to use more not less energy overall, which means even more not less CO2 is made.
One more thing - does it trouble you that the same people who forced emissions change to require more CO2 out of vehicle exhaust pipes and industrial smokestacks quickly pivoted to tell us we were making too much CO2, which was causing the newly found global warming, and, therefore, we needed to inhale more CO2 in tighter poorly ventilated homes, etc. in order to save the planet. Were these the same people who took away Sunday as a day of rest and shoved women out of the home?
Robert James, that's funny! I told my son I wanted to be composted in his yard. Don't suggest it to your children, they will look at you like you lost your mind.
EDIT: my bad. It was a KONP post not PDN. I wonder if they reported on it and how.
It was called to my attention by a PDN article in my Facebook feed a little while ago. Had PDN reported on this prior to ?today? Don’t know but thinking not. Is this one of the many projects funded between Trump’s election and inauguration?
Was it supposed to sneak in under the radar, but is there some political gain for now blaming Trump for shutting it down? Is it shut down? Just a little conspiracy theory, that’s what you pay me for, right? BTW, it’s about my pay . . .
Anyway, I made a comment. Later, I thought I should share the article and make a comment. I could not find it. So, a recap per memory.
One of the touted benefits was reducing ocean acidification. I wrote, shut it down. It’s just another fraud and money laundering scheme. Climate fraud, salmon fraud, dam fraud, fish barrier fraud, forest fire fraud, ocean acidification fraud, etc., etc..
“Have you no decency?”
Then I added a piece I wrote recently when the Axial Volcano fear mongering began again. It’s about evil.
Not in my comment to PDN: Seen any lately? No, then you have the gift of slumber. The rest know whose side they are on.
My recent piece on Axial Seamount: It’s happened recently already. CO2 from it and CO2 released from the surrounding waters warmed by it drifted into Willapa Bay and suffocated some oysters. “Ocean acidification” was blamed. Evil Governor Christine, think red 1958 Plymouth Convertible, Gregoire shoved it down Washingtonians’ throats claiming it was 3 and 1/2 times worse here than anywhere. She like the other fraudsters blamed our CO2 being absorbed by the ocean. Not likely in the relatively warm Japanese Current off our coast. It would be more likely and higher in very cold water. It wasn’t from the air at all.
The pH level that supposedly killed the oysters was never acidic and never high enough. (Edit: low enough. Higher is the basic side of the scale).They suffocated.
BTW, less than 5 CO2 molecules out of 10 million actually become carbonic acid. (Ionization or disassociation constants).
Thanks don. The idea is to somehow remove CO2 from the water and store it in some kind of container and sell the carbon credits to companies that produce CO2? Then what? Then they will hire someone with an MBA and can't add to lie to us about how they are saving the planet.
OR, they are trying to store CO2 in rock formations. I did a search on Google AI and found out that Sequim WA is center of this exploration.
Sequim, WA, is the site of an Ebb Carbon marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) demonstration project, which removes CO2 by enhancing the ocean's natural alkalinity with a proprietary electrochemical system. The project draws seawater from Sequim Bay, processes it to create a basic (alkaline) stream, which then can absorb more atmospheric CO2, while the acidic component is stored in holding tanks for further experiments. This approach helps mitigate ocean acidification and the overall burden of climate-warming carbon pollution.
How the Ebb Carbon System Works
Seawater Intake: The system pumps seawater from Sequim Bay.
Electrochemical Processing: The seawater passes through a series of membranes that separate it into acidic and alkaline streams.
Alkaline Stream: The more alkaline stream can absorb increased amounts of atmospheric CO2, converting it to stable bicarbonate.
Acidic Stream Storage: The acidic stream is stored in large tanks for research and safety verification before being released.
Key Partners and Goals
Ebb Carbon: A California-based company that developed the electrochemical technology.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL): A Department of Energy facility in Sequim that hosts the demonstration project.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA): Involved in the research and collaboration, focusing on marine carbon removal and ocean acidification.
Benefits and Applications
CO2 Removal: Captures carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and stores it as bicarbonate in the ocean.
Ocean Acidification Mitigation: Addresses ocean acidification by increasing the ocean's alkalinity, which helps protect marine ecosystems.
Research and Scaling: The Sequim site serves as a testbed for the technology, with plans to scale up the system to remove more significant amounts of CO2.
Start by removing our masks, LOL! "some research indicates a slight CO2 buildup can occur in the small "dead space" between the mask and the face. However, the vast majority of studies confirm that CO2 levels remain well below toxic levels, even with prolonged use." Probably not in Washington state!
By then while they keep the flubber and magic beans cold, they connect the tribal shin bone to the tribal leg bone and everybody forgets all about keeping the flubber and magic beans cold...
It appears they are 'converting' the seawater to a more alkaline form (better for shellfish?) and the carbon is 'stored' in the water itself.
An out of context example is from Ebb Carbon's data that shows a $20,000,000 'investment' much of it from MicroSoft, will 'potentially' 'store' 1100 tons of carbon (in the water in which the carbon is located)...interestingly that is approximately
$18,181.00 per ton.
Is that a good deal?
No way to know....there are dozens of 'carbon capture' corporations now all trying different ways to get to 'net neutral' carbon...it's insane...make no mistake, the carbon they are most interested in reducing is US!😜
Reading Jeff Tozzer's Clallam County Watchdog edition here I can't help but see the obvious connection between all of our most difficult problems and the socialist/communist/Marxist ideology~! I understand that the younger generations have been brainwashed into believing that socialism is somehow a harmless viable option for America and Americans, however those of us who are older should remember the once well-known term "creeping socialism". Does it occur to anyone that socialism is no longer "creeping" but it has now become entrenched into America and our local communities~? I feel pity and disgust towards Americans who are so grossly ignorant as to support "socialism" in any way, and I have to wonder if those who do really hate America, Americans, themselves, and their own Individual freedom & rights? How is it possible that the minority of Americans today who foolishly support socialism, so completely fail to understand how dangerous, destructive, and deadly socialism ALWAYS eventually is, and that the German NAZI's made absolutely no secret of the fact that they were socialists (indeed Democratic socialists)~? We have been warned time and time again for at least 80 years here in America, as socialism has taken root~! America was founded by great men, women, and even children, who could no longer live under the ruthless dictates of oppressive monsters who only cared about folks who served their selfish purposes. Our American REPUBLIC is not now, nor has it ever been, a Democracy~! I COMPLETELY condemn the so-called "educational system" in America, that very intentionally failed to teach MANY generations of Americans that our American Republic is a uniquely great form of government that is COMPLETELY unlike any other because it supports Individual freedom and rights. The evil matrix of socialism is a terrible lie that deceives pitifully weak-minded uneducated Individuals into believing that "the collective" is all important over the Individual, when it is truly the Individuals who are the most important, especially when they come together in a Republic form of government as one free people. How could anyone in their right mind with the slightest understanding of history even debate this fact? As an old American Constitutionalist, it makes me sick to see that there really are some people who have no clue that socialism, communism, Marxism and ALL other forms of government are directly opposed to everyone's Individual freedoms and rights... There is no better form of government than a Republic that respects all Individuals within a country. Socialism & communism etc. always leads to the disrespect of ALL within a country except for those so-called "elite" few who pose as "Kings and Queens" often under a thinly disguised title. Ironically, the very people who have been recently protesting against "Kings" have absolutely no clue that by doing so in the way that they are being deceived into doing, that they are actually supporting the would be "Kings" who are brainwashing them into destroying their own Republic and those who have been risking everything to save them from their own ignorance~! Real American Constitutionalists never allow themselves to be "captured and/or controlled" by politics and political hacks who have no power unless they can divide Americans against each other, however it is our specific duty to warn & fight against ALL enemies who would dare to take actions against the American Republic, The American Constitution, and Americans~! Jeff Tozzer is exactly correct that "we" (the good folks of Clallam County) absolutely MUST see and appreciate that the treasonous "Clallam County Democrats" organization openly and notoriously celebrated a known communist (Tim Wheeler). The downside of our American freedoms & rights always carries the dangerous and deadly risk of tolerating the most evil, horrific and insane intentions of the few, which makes it our sacred duty as Americans to fight against in every way necessary to preserve our, and the future generations, freedoms and rights! I just can't believe that anyone today, especially after enduring the absolutely horrific socialist driven COVID and deadly fake "vaccine" mass murder attacks, could possibly fail to understand just how much trouble "we" (ALL Americans) are in right now because of socialism, communism, etc. (and those who support the destruction of our Republic in any way)~! Is the problem the severely uneducated, brainwashed, criminally insane~? All of the "above"~? Obviously, as Jeff Tozzer was so good as to point out, even right here in our community we have some EXTREMELY dangerous Individuals who are very clearly and openly linked to the most offensive, destructive, and in fact deadly ideologies of socialism/communism/Marxism and other sick personal beliefs that are openly contrary to our Individual American freedoms and rights~! These few disgusting people should NEVER be celebrated for their treasonous anti-American beliefs and behavior, and in fact "we" (Americans) should immediately remove them and all like them from all positions of power and influence in our communities and country without hesitation. Failure to do so will without doubt directly lead to FAR more pain and suffering going forward, so the decisions are ours and if "we" are not going to remove the corrupt politicians and government employees currently infesting our community with their venomous agenda, we have been warned that we may no longer have the time to vote them out~! We didn't vote for all of the problems that we currently have in Clallam County and Washington State right now, so I hope & pray that the good folks here completely understand just how difficult it will be to vote our way out of these same problems that have been very intentionally thrust upon us~!
To be fair...unrestrained capitalism has also failed many and that is ripe pickings for the commies.
Communism is unrestrained state capitalism.
The Rockefellers' removed 'financial training' from our educational system, first thing when they took over the system. They use ignorance and socialism/communism to 'bring us down'.
Henry Ford said: 'If people knew how banking worked (and the 'market') there would be a revolution tomorrow'. Our ignorance is their gain.
I believe that I understand exactly what you are saying, and I would definitely agree~! Having a very long background as a student of History, Economics, and Law, I do actually possess an excellent understanding of this very concept that you so well speak of. Boy, was that NOT an easy thing to accomplish BTW~! It would be most accurate to understand that the criminals of humanity truly fear "unrestrained capitalism" the most, assuming that we can agree that the definition of unrestrained capitalism is actually a "free market common law economy"~! In other words, I can easily prove that a "free market economy" (a truly "unrestrained capitalism" model) is by FAR the best way to promote and support our American freedoms and ALL of our rights. In fact, the criminals of humanity have very intentionally created a nearly completely & totally "restrained economic model" over the decades, brainwashing people into falsely believing that it is a "free market economic system so that folks would blame "capitalism" and the criminals could easily dominate "us" with their perverted "crony capitalism" model that viciously controls everyone. This is why some folks unfairly blame "capitalism" when it is really the "crony capitalism" model of the criminals of humanity that is really to blame... So, it is actually the "restrained economic model" that has been used to destroy the free-market economy and the GREAT "model of capitalism"~! Ha! We just need to agree on a few terms because these criminals of humanity very intentionally "twist terminology" to confuse us and to get us to fight about things that we actually all agree on in the first place~! A common law free market economy is the ONLY way that America and the world will survive these criminals of humanity and their evil agenda, of course understanding that a COMPLETELY "unrestrained economic model" will probably never be possible, because there will probably always be some things and/or sometimes that "we" (humanity) needs to exercise restraint~! Do we want to fully support free market economic competition at all times~? That is a HUGE subject, but I believe the answer is yes~! Do we want to allow & support a free market deadly drug economy~? Well, I can't think of any possible reason that America or humanity would EVER benefit from that~! We do have to educate folks and adjust the system that currently dictates what a "deadly drug" is, because alcohol, cannabis, and some other "drugs" are definitely not deadly if used correctly and when appropriate... So, I am referring to truly deadly drugs that are not only illicit but also many that are pharmaceutical drugs being produced and distributed... Some "market restraints" are good ;-)
Honoring Communists and accusing Clallam county citizens of prejudice, discrimination, and systemic racism tells you where these miscreant commissioners work for and against. If this was happening 100 years ago, mobs with pitchforks, tar, and feathers would be going after them. What utter bullshit!!!!!!!
Corruption in Small Towns: A Growing Concern Amid National Political Turmoil
https://www.grantspasstribune.com/corruption-in-small-towns-a-growing-concern-amid-national-political-turmoil/
National News Sept 23, 2024 In recent years, many small towns across the country have faced a concerning rise in local government corruption. Allegations of MISUSE OF POWER, FINANCIAL MISMANAGEMENT, AND A DISREGARD FOR TRANSPARENCY have increasingly surfaced, alarming residents who fear that their local officials are adopting UNETHICAL BEHAVIORS seen in national politics. This trend has raised serious questions about the state of local governance, with many wondering if it is too late to repair the damage and restore accountability...
There are growing reports of local leaders using their positions for personal gain, bending regulations, or ignoring established norms altogether. In some towns, zoning decisions are being made with little public input, contracts are awarded without proper bidding processes, and financial oversight seems to have vanished…
The big question now is whether it is too late to reverse the damage done to local governments...Local watchdog groups and citizen journalism have also played a pivotal role in exposing unethical practices...“Reforming local government will require a cultural shift,” says Norman. “People need to re-engage with their local institutions, DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY, and make it clear that CORRUPTION IS UNACCEPTABLE..
Ultimately, the question remains: will citizens take back control of their local governments, or will corruption continue to spread unchecked?
Seems to me that corruption became a real dem-demic when Bill and Hillary were in the Whitehouse. Not only became more acceptable but was cheered.
Don, and it went totally out of control with Biden..or I should say, whoever had the auto pen.
Satan worshippers.😱 Demon-rats and RINOs'...Who rules the world...for now?👹
That was a good article in the Grants Pass Tribune. What a concept. Truth in media. They even mentioned Jeff in there. "Watchdog".
From wikapidia....
The phrase "deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed" means that a government's authority is legitimate only if it is based on the approval and agreement of the people it governs. This concept is a fundamental principle in democratic societies, emphasizing that the government exists to serve the interests of its citizens.
Democratic societies still have 51% deciding for the other 49%...not a good deal for the true majority, and easily manipulated into a 'bare' majority by unethical, illegal, unlawful practices.
We need to reinvent the concept of 'representation' with common sense, practical, realistic governance, not pandering to the mythical 51%.
All significant laws and policies and expenditures can be well determined by common sense and scientific processes...REAL science...not the fake shit we have been fed for decades...science doesn't lie...it reveals...it doesn't compromise...it stands in/for truth when it finds it.
As long as we run on blind emotion, we are doomed!
We pretty much are doomed... to try and survive the next little while and the pure evil and insanity playing out on Earth...no magic wands...no saviors...just strange little beings thrashing around and wallowing around in stupidity and chaos.
CCWDoggers' excepted, of course.🤓
Real science dont lie. Its just numbers. But they have reinvented what science is. No absolutes. Unless they say it is. Thank the lawyers for that. I think 51% might be enough if they can get the cheating out. Never going to get everyone to agree on everything. But im betting, true 51% plus of real washington voters do not aggree with all the bs these snakes stand for.
That's what I meant about manipulating that 1%...the cheating and propaganda only have to 'alter' somewhat less than 1% to get the 1% 'majority'...the average voter has no idea who or what they are 'voting' for and it's too much trouble to find out and requires discernment and engagement to make a positive difference.
The rest of us get the government nobody wanted, except the people IN government and their 'owners'!😳
Return with me to those days of yesteryear, the 1780's and 1790's, when life was one helluva lot different. Look at pictures of the men signing the Declaration of Independence and framing the Constitution. They knew better than to trust the average man with the vote. Landed propeerty owners - now has given way to 1 man 1 vote, and vote early and vote frequently. Reside in the community for 5 seconds at Seal St. around Safeway, Port Angeles, under the bridges and you'll get a mail in ballot. Geez as a transient how many times can I vote.
Referencing the letter from the tribe to the staff Jeff published. Not owners. Partners..... in their own words.
Nature breaks every living thing down and turns it into it's basic components...what we call compost...after a brief expression of 'life'...to be reincorporated into something else...or just left to rest as no-thing.
We cannot re-incorporate the rotten material that has become our 'government'...because it is rotten!
We have to start over, if We The People want sound management, of OUR resources.
The difference between Us and nature is that We can try to keep patching the rot, while nature just takes care of business.
True Law came from the necessity and common sense of what works and what doesn't over time, by experience.
Higher Law came to us from consciousness higher than our own because we have limited wisdom and a propensity for helping the stupid survive...nature would never let 'stupid' survive.
And no sane culture would let 'stupid' run the community.
Truth, Justice, Liberty, Accountability, Tough Love and COMMON SENSE prevail!😎
I really like Marolee Smith's idea of a Citizen Financial Oversight Committee. That would get us ordinary taxpayers at the City Council and BoCC tables. I would apply! Thank you, Jeff. As always, a very important cache of much needed information to keep us all thinking, asking, and acting. I love CCWD!!
Thank you so much, Jeff, for sharing my memes with an awesome shoutout! I hope they make others laugh. Thanks to all the new subscribers too! You never fail with great local insight into what goes on around this area, and I’ve got more memes churning in my mind while housewifing today.
I look forward to more memes, Jennifer R. Thank you!
Perhaps the most chilling of these overviews is the Tim Wheeler debacle...
Tim is a 'farmer'?
And a communist?
He obviously isn't very bright, as the history of communism and farming is not very bright.
Communism WILL take Your land, Tim, eventually...and give it to someone 'the party' decides, to do with what 'the party' decides.
If 'the party' is made up of people like you, Tim, you are self-doomed!
Stupidity, on the extreme left, seems to be ubiquitous.
Demand common sense in government!😎
It is going by way of Progressive Democrats. If you look back at what happened to William Armacost, the previous mayor, who was completely ridiculed and lied about by the 'Communist party' (democrats) and got 2-1 votes for their 'stupidity', and continue to lie and hide their agenda, we are doomed.... :(
Together, at least!🤓
Typical Communist. No drive to get a real job, but thrives when the job is taking from others. A thief.
AH the PNW Home of the Wobblies back in the last century. Take a look at the paper this AM. Portland Oregon is cheering on the election of a Socialist communist to be the next mayor of NYC.
Water problems in Western Washington. Think about it. How are all those New York City dwellers able to shower even once a week. We don’t have a water problem. We have a tribes and bozos problem.
Tribal “water rights” are the poisoned fruit of the wrongful Boldt Decision that begs to be overturned.
The Travesty And Tragedy That Is The Boldt Decision, Part 3
Judge Boldt seems to have had a real problem with rights and privileges. He massages them to suit his whims. He makes rights when dealing with the tribes, "reserved rights," and when dealing with others, mere "privileges." Again he displays his ignorance or blatant disregard for truth. Privileges were something granted to a chosen few by the supreme ruler when no one had any rights. Language is important. Boldt makes an issue of it ("in common" was too difficult for the tribes, remember?) and then corrupts it whenever he gets a chance.
[He wrote, "If at this time anything concerning treaty fishing rights should be beyond
doubt or question it is the basic principle that the treaty fishing of plaintiff [*337] tribes
in this case is a reserved right and not a mere privilege. The treaty fishing in Kennedy
was held to be only a privilege under the peculiar facts of that case. Nothing faintly
comparable to those facts can be found in either Puyallup-I or the present case.
Another statement in Puyallup-I (391 U.S. p. 398, 88 S. Ct. p. 1728) concerning police
power regulation, without analysis other than as stated therein, or citation of a non dictum authority, is: "Moreover, the right [**35] to fish at those respective [usual and accustomed]
places is not an exclusive one. Rather it is one 'in common with all citizens of the
territory.' Certainly the right of the latter may be regulated. And we see no reason
why the right of the Indians may not also be regulated by an appropriate exercise
of the police power of the State."
This statement seems to say that because a state has police power to regulate fishing
privileges which the state has granted and may limit or entirely withdraw, that is
somehow a legal reason for state regulation of federal fishing rights which are expressly
reserved in a treaty which only Congress has authority to limit or modify. If that seeming
non sequitur be the law it certainly is deserving of more specific legal analysis and
justification than it has ever had in any United States Supreme Court decision."]
Note: The Supreme Court had a chance after Boldt was upheld by the 9th Circuit. It declined to hear the case.
In fairness, "privilege" was used in the Kennedy case that was cited in Puyallup-I, so Boldt was not the only judge who was confused. The words, "Moreover, the right ... is not an exclusive one. Rather it is one 'in common with all the citizens of the territory' should be all we need. We don't need to convert it to a privilege in order to regulate it. Seems our rights are regulated by the state all the time, even our Constitutional Rights. Does that convert them to mere privileges? Maybe we need to assert OUR "reserved rights." Piss off state!
Boldt makes a big issue of what the tribes did or did not intend when they agreed to the treaties. He never addresses what the nontribal citizens intended. What would they think of the Boldt Decisison? Did they believe they were making Indians the same as them as regards to off reservation fishing? Equals? Were they granting rights "in common" or guaranteeing tribes half of all future fish? Boldt took something "in common" and made it anything but, something very uncommon, something ridiculously unjust and unfair.
When the treaties were signed, did the non-Indians think they were granting "privileges" to themselves but "reserved rights" to the Indians? Insane! Every settler who fished believed he had a right to fish. Licenses weren't even required until 1914. Then they still had a right to fish. Licenses didn't convert a right to fish into a privilege to fish. Now ponder "gun rights." Are they now mere "privileges" because of all the licensing and additional reqirements?
End of Part 3.
Communist judges MAKING law IS a problem...communist judges 'interpreting law' IS a problem.
Lifetime appointed judges are nightmares becoming daymares. The Devil is in the details.
😱
In time Olympic Region Clean Air Agency is likely to capitulate in favor of the unhoused based on their track record in Thurston County.
ORCAA first partnered with Safer Spaces Outreach and Advocacy Program (SSOAP) aims to help decrease encampment fires, the burning of noxious garbage, and other concerns related to unsafe burning practices within encampments in Olympia, WA. This program was first conceptualized after meeting with the Olympic Regional Clean Air Agency (ORCAA), who were receiving complaints related to trash burning and fire concerns originating from various encampments in Thurston County. OlyMAP partnered with ORCAA and created a program to help address these concerns by providing support to camps through trash removal, provision of supplies to encourage safer burning practices, and alternative methods of finding warmth while living unsheltered.
But the re-education of the unhoused proved untenable so ORCAA simply eliminated a long-standing ban on residential burning in that area, explaining it as follows.
ORCAA Executive Director Jeff Johnston made clear that addressing campfires in homeless encampments was not the sole driver for the rule change, but it was part of it.
He said ORCAA has been trying to encourage safe, survival fire burning in those camps, but at the same time was telling residents they couldn’t burn at all.
“That didn’t seem very equitable,” he said.
And poof-burning for all!
Even the 'legit' burning...agricultural burning...is very poorly done, for the most part.
Burning unseasoned slash, commercial or private is the 'norm'.
We literally have the worst air quality in the state, according to the state.
We end up with a lot of the 'drift' smoke as the prevailing westerlies push it our way.
There IS a science to burning while reducing the mass pollution but there is no way to regulate it well and there is no 'permit' going to make people care about doing 'the right thing'.
You have to WANT to do the Right things for the Right reasons AND seek the science of the thing, because it's the best and highest form of that thing.
These petty little techno-tyrants trying to regulate everything with their cabbage patch rules are scary little beasts.
I would flee this ship in 2 seconds but can't do it on my own and my partner isn't ready.
I am really concerned that our property values will drop...relative to other places... because of the horror-show politics and insane taxation and crime overtaking our state...and all the low-income housing being built all around us in Carlsborg...then it would not be possible (financially). I'm not against low income people...we ARE low income people (with higher values)...but it changes the dynamics and we can do nothing about it!
Say la vie!😊
The complaint in Eastern Wa. was that the fall burning was carried by the winds, causing difficulty for those driving cross state on I-90. Yeah sure, they won't put wood treated with lead based paint in the "yard" waste burn pile. Yeah but a burn permit gets the CCC more money to "grant" to the underserved. Hey, with the $5 fee we are just a heartbeat away from the "Water Steward" divvying up the waters of Clallam County.
Yep!👍🏼😎
What low income housing in Carlsborg? I know of only one that is going to be built on Mill Rd. through Habitat for Humanity hasn’t even broke ground yet. The one on West Runnion is not low income housing and the one across on the SE corner of Carlsborg and Runnion I believe is also not low income housing.
Several months ago an acquaintance shared with me the following.They were talking to two nephews as to why one of thems son had quit his job. In fact the young man had two jobs.All tribal members not local to our area.Knew them all. Grandfather,nephews, and had met the young man on a couple of occasions. All generations held jobs though their working years.The reason for quitting was the tribe they belonged to had increased the dollar amount each received to $14,000 every three months. I will leave you to your own reactions. Mine can not be written here.
JJW there are so many native elders who realize the handouts are destroying their youth and the concept of responsibility and any sort of a work ethic. Just as we realize what the handouts are doing to our Clallam County. Parallel Universes.
Exactly! as I recall is Allan’s concept & why JST doesn’t pay stipends or share tribal $$’s. Yet USA forks out money & services, boof kits, narcon, needles, $350K apartments, pizza, free transportation, poet readers…the list goes on I’m sure we’re all aware why our taxes are so high?
So when we buy gas at a local station, the tax $s go to the I-5 governor, who in turn "gifts" out the money for the boof kits, narcon, etcetera, generally contributes to the lawlessness in PA, Sequim, Forks. And if i buy gas in Blyn I support ???
Careful buying gas...https://www.myinstants.com/en/instant/star-trek-fight-sound/
Buying loyalty? Like with all the illegal migrants being given cell phones, debit cards, drivers licenses with no accountability?
Who do you think would think up a system such as this?
Just sayin'~👹
"money for nothing and the Kicks (chicks) for free"...there's your Equity, JJW.
It was actually 'checks' for free...girls too, but the song is talking about the residual pay-checks for playing on MTV compared to the lowly appliance store guy trying to sell stuff nobody wants or needs!
They get the girls even if they don't make a ton of money!💰
Thank goodness I never had to worry about it!🤣
Since time immemorial I'm sure. Try that 200 years ago and you're either going hungry, getting group peer pressure, or stealing from others.
That's soft slavery, and it makes me cringe to watch what it does to the souls of humans.
Idk if anyone here follows along w/ the national politics, but if you do you’ll notice that literally everything happening here in our little county is an echo of what’s happening on the national level. From the word salads to the raping of our wallets & more. This is an infection wrecking havoc on the health of every single citizen & our county commissioners are diligently feeding the flames. I cannot for the life of me figure out how they can continue to pretend this is the best path forward. Ozias, French & Johnson know this- WE SEE YOU. And if you continue down this trail of collapse, I’d be worried if I were you
And it didn't start with Covid, but Covid was part of the planned collapse...thank you for stating this.
They think they'll remain on top of the collapse...but it's still collapse...and the commies eat their own!😊
It sickening to see: the doxing, the gaslighting, horrendous theatrics like crying about compassion for derelicts & the need for personal security detail, law enforcement ignoring & outright condemning good people that actually need protection, pushing for funding & policies that are visibly deteriorating our society. We’re a small section of the nation tucked up in the corner of the country but we’re seeing the same abuse of power on the local level. It’s staggering.
Monkey see, monkey do
Maybe after the collapse of Clallam County, they will be made honorary tribal members. Wonder if we can become a tribe? maybe a church??, let's call our selves the Colonials. Checkerboard look towards our property. Go to a meeting like Sequim City Council and see the police in attendance. Yet these Sequimites are the same ones that probably decry the national efforts of cleaning up the mess that Biden and Harris promoted.
Amen and Awomen! I'm worried for them...you can't fix stupid!😊
When it comes to many of those who run local government, I like to remember the fact that, in any given population, 50% of the people -1 are under average intelligence. Those who run JKT do not fall into this category, do they? They know how to milk the government teat until it’s dry.
I keep wondering if Ron Allen would have been as successful as business man without the gov't playbook, gov't lawyers, gov't money, and all other gov't handouts.
Much easier to win the hand when playing with a stacked deck.
Casino-World...I'm sure it's just righteous legitimate 'business'!😱
I don’t think he plays well with others, so no.
https://www.myinstants.com/en/instant/star-trek-fight-sound/
He's a schemer...that's all you need to 'get the goods' in this world!😱
Denise NOPE!
I've worked for and around countless attorneys for 30+ years. Manh are always scheming.
10TH PLANK. Government run education system.
Mind-Control-Programming-Institutions...they dumbed me down but they didn't capture my mind...completely, anyway.😊
Intelligence doesn't translate into goodness, unfortunately!😎
There is a difference between intelligence and street smart common sense for sure!
QUESTION
If Commissioner Ozias is exploring co-management agreements with local tribes for our county parks, then are the ‘grant money and tax money non ‘Tribe’ citizens pay to be replaced with ‘Casino’ money?
Eric, NOPE!
Maybe the writing on the wall? Ozias fought the gravel pit, PA fought the mill maybe the idea is no decent paying work to support middle class families, Meanwhile the tribe is pushing for a return of the land. Two movements coming together for the same objective. The last one leaving Clallam County, turn off the lights.
Thanks for more meme logic inspiration! It is said that the purpose of a meme is to disturb the humorless and to humor the disturbed. Clallam County is a disturbing place and the disturbed need humor to survive. Thanks for shedding light on local disturbances, and thanks for letting me share my creations in your comments! https://open.substack.com/pub/jenexxifer/p/governance-so-bad-its-laughable?r=6it1tg&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
JKT made a statement about the govt shutdown not contributing any $$$ during shutdown but the tribe will be 'self- reliant with their own $$$ making payroll and we are going to be witnessing this historical bravery of 'self- reliance.Well this is how it should be all the time since the tribe brought in last year $ 86 million + according to a statement posted earlier this year.Doge is supposed to cut out waste and should be looking into self-reliant tribes bringing in mass $$$ millions and still getting mass taxpayer $$$.Self-reliant should mean self- sufficient and therefore need 'NO MORE FREE HARD EARNED TAXPAYER $$$.
Sounds like a good relationship to me..
John, I love your dry humor ; )
For what it's worth, we can directly email the WhiteHouse online and point out all the horrors happening here in Commie.WA.
I don't know if it helps... but emailing/writing to the demonrats in power is water off a ducks back!😱
There probably is a whistle blower hotline for DOGE.
QUESTION
Is the CO2 extracted from the Puget Sound water, providing carbon credits, eventually released back into the environment?
Eric, you're making me dizzy.
Better not read my comment to Eric then, Denise. 😀
Don, dramamine going into my mouth now. I'll be ready for you ; )
Me too. Wish I had thought up this scheme. Taxpayers completely fund my operation. I take the CO2 out of the ocean, sell the carbon credits, store the CO2, then maybe sell it to makers of carbonated beverages. I then count my money with a wink and a grin.
No more cremation...too much carbon release...composting only!😵💫
Same result with compost just takes longer.
The most important thing humans need to know about CO2 is that it’s a waste product of our bodies, and we don’t like the others in our noses in greater concentrations and for longer periods of time. It makes us feel too many others are around us. Abortion and depopulation, anyone?
Spiritually and Biblically speaking, CO2 represents death. Satan is Death. We decompose when we die if nature takes its course. All of the carbon in our bodies becomes CO2. We have invited Satan into our homes and schools, etc. with tighter construction, excessive exhaled CO2, and poor ventilation. And into our communities with changed emissions.
Why didn’t God put catalytic converters on fire? Shouldn’t we imitate God? What is the carbon monoxide cycle?
Some air is more equal than others especially when thinking about CO2. Think of atmospheric CO2 as the baseline for ambient/local CO2, which is then the baseline for what is indoors, inside our homes, schools, etc..
Remember when emissions change was forced on us? Did you get to vote on the change? We were told CO2 is good for us because it is good for trees. Only problem is we are not trees, and many people, especially the young and elderly, seem to be developing wooden heads. Many young are putting down roots in their parents’ basements where CO2 is often higher.
When I write about CO2, which CO2 am I addressing?
I recall 70 years ago when there were Sunday closing laws and time for God, family, and rest. Made you think. At least plan ahead so you had the things you couldn’t buy on that day. Did I just discover why we have so many seemingly brain dead types now?
If Sunday is now like every other day, 14% of the traffic could be on Sunday. But it’s the weekend. So 7%? 5%?
Some 60 years ago, women were conned, bullied, and shamed into the workplace. Why? (A subject for another day). Did this and plus Sunday difference result in a doubling of traffic and fuel consumption? (Add some additional mileage to drop kids off at daycare and more trips to the grocery store. Grab just enough for a day or two. Don’t have time to stock up for the week. There’s more also).
This was all before we heard of the man-made CO2 caused global warming lie and before we had to change emissions, which more than doubled the CO2 out of tailpipes and smokestacks.
In total, is that a quadrupling?
Anyone else sense we have been played all along?
No? Then how do you account for the fact that the climate “crisis” and energy “shortage” were used as the rationale to force us to accept higher exhaled CO2 indoors in tighter poorly ventilated homes, schools, etc.?
Especially since it is a false savings. It actually causes us to use more not less energy overall, which means even more not less CO2 is made.
One more thing - does it trouble you that the same people who forced emissions change to require more CO2 out of vehicle exhaust pipes and industrial smokestacks quickly pivoted to tell us we were making too much CO2, which was causing the newly found global warming, and, therefore, we needed to inhale more CO2 in tighter poorly ventilated homes, etc. in order to save the planet. Were these the same people who took away Sunday as a day of rest and shoved women out of the home?
conspAIRacy.com/theconspirators.html
Interesting correlations. Strange world we have 'made'!
I hope I get to leave when I die!
I'm already pre-decomposing, so I'll get a head start!🤓
Robert James, that's funny! I told my son I wanted to be composted in his yard. Don't suggest it to your children, they will look at you like you lost your mind.
Something I wrote recently about that scam. The oceans are not a sink for CO2 when warming. They have their own sources, and release a lot.
How’d this slip past me?
https://www.geekwire.com/2025/washington-state-port-town-becomes-testing-ground-for-ocean-carbon-removal-technology/
EDIT: my bad. It was a KONP post not PDN. I wonder if they reported on it and how.
It was called to my attention by a PDN article in my Facebook feed a little while ago. Had PDN reported on this prior to ?today? Don’t know but thinking not. Is this one of the many projects funded between Trump’s election and inauguration?
Was it supposed to sneak in under the radar, but is there some political gain for now blaming Trump for shutting it down? Is it shut down? Just a little conspiracy theory, that’s what you pay me for, right? BTW, it’s about my pay . . .
Anyway, I made a comment. Later, I thought I should share the article and make a comment. I could not find it. So, a recap per memory.
One of the touted benefits was reducing ocean acidification. I wrote, shut it down. It’s just another fraud and money laundering scheme. Climate fraud, salmon fraud, dam fraud, fish barrier fraud, forest fire fraud, ocean acidification fraud, etc., etc..
“Have you no decency?”
Then I added a piece I wrote recently when the Axial Volcano fear mongering began again. It’s about evil.
Not in my comment to PDN: Seen any lately? No, then you have the gift of slumber. The rest know whose side they are on.
My recent piece on Axial Seamount: It’s happened recently already. CO2 from it and CO2 released from the surrounding waters warmed by it drifted into Willapa Bay and suffocated some oysters. “Ocean acidification” was blamed. Evil Governor Christine, think red 1958 Plymouth Convertible, Gregoire shoved it down Washingtonians’ throats claiming it was 3 and 1/2 times worse here than anywhere. She like the other fraudsters blamed our CO2 being absorbed by the ocean. Not likely in the relatively warm Japanese Current off our coast. It would be more likely and higher in very cold water. It wasn’t from the air at all.
The pH level that supposedly killed the oysters was never acidic and never high enough. (Edit: low enough. Higher is the basic side of the scale).They suffocated.
BTW, less than 5 CO2 molecules out of 10 million actually become carbonic acid. (Ionization or disassociation constants).
Be prepared to be lied to once more.
Thanks don. The idea is to somehow remove CO2 from the water and store it in some kind of container and sell the carbon credits to companies that produce CO2? Then what? Then they will hire someone with an MBA and can't add to lie to us about how they are saving the planet.
OR, they are trying to store CO2 in rock formations. I did a search on Google AI and found out that Sequim WA is center of this exploration.
Sequim, WA, is the site of an Ebb Carbon marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) demonstration project, which removes CO2 by enhancing the ocean's natural alkalinity with a proprietary electrochemical system. The project draws seawater from Sequim Bay, processes it to create a basic (alkaline) stream, which then can absorb more atmospheric CO2, while the acidic component is stored in holding tanks for further experiments. This approach helps mitigate ocean acidification and the overall burden of climate-warming carbon pollution.
How the Ebb Carbon System Works
Seawater Intake: The system pumps seawater from Sequim Bay.
Electrochemical Processing: The seawater passes through a series of membranes that separate it into acidic and alkaline streams.
Alkaline Stream: The more alkaline stream can absorb increased amounts of atmospheric CO2, converting it to stable bicarbonate.
Acidic Stream Storage: The acidic stream is stored in large tanks for research and safety verification before being released.
Key Partners and Goals
Ebb Carbon: A California-based company that developed the electrochemical technology.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL): A Department of Energy facility in Sequim that hosts the demonstration project.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA): Involved in the research and collaboration, focusing on marine carbon removal and ocean acidification.
Benefits and Applications
CO2 Removal: Captures carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and stores it as bicarbonate in the ocean.
Ocean Acidification Mitigation: Addresses ocean acidification by increasing the ocean's alkalinity, which helps protect marine ecosystems.
Research and Scaling: The Sequim site serves as a testbed for the technology, with plans to scale up the system to remove more significant amounts of CO2.
Sounds like snake oil. How much carbon is burned to make the electricity this requires? Impact on electric bills?
Thanks for the info. Lots to absorb. Wonder about desalinization. I know nothing about that.
California has a big desalinization plant in Manhattan Beach...
The residual acid may be used to dissolve us...as an experiment, of course!😱
Start by removing our masks, LOL! "some research indicates a slight CO2 buildup can occur in the small "dead space" between the mask and the face. However, the vast majority of studies confirm that CO2 levels remain well below toxic levels, even with prolonged use." Probably not in Washington state!
Me like CO2
Also Nitrogen, also O2. Personal taste.
Sorry Don with a capital.
Off with his head? As in capital?🤣
By then while they keep the flubber and magic beans cold, they connect the tribal shin bone to the tribal leg bone and everybody forgets all about keeping the flubber and magic beans cold...
Yeah, that's one of the schemes...one of many!😳
So many stinky rabbit-holes, so little time!🥸
But just 'follow "the science"'🤣
There is no 'the science'...there is ONLY Science!
There is only truth and lies...half-truths are lies and half-lies are not truth!😵💫
Trust me, I’m from the government 😻🤫
'BraveHeart'! Too old, too late.😊
I trust the govt...about as far as You can throw the whole shit-n-shebang!🤣
EXTRACTION seems to be the operative word for govt.🤮
LOL.
It appears they are 'converting' the seawater to a more alkaline form (better for shellfish?) and the carbon is 'stored' in the water itself.
An out of context example is from Ebb Carbon's data that shows a $20,000,000 'investment' much of it from MicroSoft, will 'potentially' 'store' 1100 tons of carbon (in the water in which the carbon is located)...interestingly that is approximately
$18,181.00 per ton.
Is that a good deal?
No way to know....there are dozens of 'carbon capture' corporations now all trying different ways to get to 'net neutral' carbon...it's insane...make no mistake, the carbon they are most interested in reducing is US!😜
Can anyone say SCAM-A-DOCIOUS?🤮💰💰😵💫
It is used to keep the flubber and magic beans cold...
Reading Jeff Tozzer's Clallam County Watchdog edition here I can't help but see the obvious connection between all of our most difficult problems and the socialist/communist/Marxist ideology~! I understand that the younger generations have been brainwashed into believing that socialism is somehow a harmless viable option for America and Americans, however those of us who are older should remember the once well-known term "creeping socialism". Does it occur to anyone that socialism is no longer "creeping" but it has now become entrenched into America and our local communities~? I feel pity and disgust towards Americans who are so grossly ignorant as to support "socialism" in any way, and I have to wonder if those who do really hate America, Americans, themselves, and their own Individual freedom & rights? How is it possible that the minority of Americans today who foolishly support socialism, so completely fail to understand how dangerous, destructive, and deadly socialism ALWAYS eventually is, and that the German NAZI's made absolutely no secret of the fact that they were socialists (indeed Democratic socialists)~? We have been warned time and time again for at least 80 years here in America, as socialism has taken root~! America was founded by great men, women, and even children, who could no longer live under the ruthless dictates of oppressive monsters who only cared about folks who served their selfish purposes. Our American REPUBLIC is not now, nor has it ever been, a Democracy~! I COMPLETELY condemn the so-called "educational system" in America, that very intentionally failed to teach MANY generations of Americans that our American Republic is a uniquely great form of government that is COMPLETELY unlike any other because it supports Individual freedom and rights. The evil matrix of socialism is a terrible lie that deceives pitifully weak-minded uneducated Individuals into believing that "the collective" is all important over the Individual, when it is truly the Individuals who are the most important, especially when they come together in a Republic form of government as one free people. How could anyone in their right mind with the slightest understanding of history even debate this fact? As an old American Constitutionalist, it makes me sick to see that there really are some people who have no clue that socialism, communism, Marxism and ALL other forms of government are directly opposed to everyone's Individual freedoms and rights... There is no better form of government than a Republic that respects all Individuals within a country. Socialism & communism etc. always leads to the disrespect of ALL within a country except for those so-called "elite" few who pose as "Kings and Queens" often under a thinly disguised title. Ironically, the very people who have been recently protesting against "Kings" have absolutely no clue that by doing so in the way that they are being deceived into doing, that they are actually supporting the would be "Kings" who are brainwashing them into destroying their own Republic and those who have been risking everything to save them from their own ignorance~! Real American Constitutionalists never allow themselves to be "captured and/or controlled" by politics and political hacks who have no power unless they can divide Americans against each other, however it is our specific duty to warn & fight against ALL enemies who would dare to take actions against the American Republic, The American Constitution, and Americans~! Jeff Tozzer is exactly correct that "we" (the good folks of Clallam County) absolutely MUST see and appreciate that the treasonous "Clallam County Democrats" organization openly and notoriously celebrated a known communist (Tim Wheeler). The downside of our American freedoms & rights always carries the dangerous and deadly risk of tolerating the most evil, horrific and insane intentions of the few, which makes it our sacred duty as Americans to fight against in every way necessary to preserve our, and the future generations, freedoms and rights! I just can't believe that anyone today, especially after enduring the absolutely horrific socialist driven COVID and deadly fake "vaccine" mass murder attacks, could possibly fail to understand just how much trouble "we" (ALL Americans) are in right now because of socialism, communism, etc. (and those who support the destruction of our Republic in any way)~! Is the problem the severely uneducated, brainwashed, criminally insane~? All of the "above"~? Obviously, as Jeff Tozzer was so good as to point out, even right here in our community we have some EXTREMELY dangerous Individuals who are very clearly and openly linked to the most offensive, destructive, and in fact deadly ideologies of socialism/communism/Marxism and other sick personal beliefs that are openly contrary to our Individual American freedoms and rights~! These few disgusting people should NEVER be celebrated for their treasonous anti-American beliefs and behavior, and in fact "we" (Americans) should immediately remove them and all like them from all positions of power and influence in our communities and country without hesitation. Failure to do so will without doubt directly lead to FAR more pain and suffering going forward, so the decisions are ours and if "we" are not going to remove the corrupt politicians and government employees currently infesting our community with their venomous agenda, we have been warned that we may no longer have the time to vote them out~! We didn't vote for all of the problems that we currently have in Clallam County and Washington State right now, so I hope & pray that the good folks here completely understand just how difficult it will be to vote our way out of these same problems that have been very intentionally thrust upon us~!
God save The Republic~!
Sincerely, Mike
To be fair...unrestrained capitalism has also failed many and that is ripe pickings for the commies.
Communism is unrestrained state capitalism.
The Rockefellers' removed 'financial training' from our educational system, first thing when they took over the system. They use ignorance and socialism/communism to 'bring us down'.
Henry Ford said: 'If people knew how banking worked (and the 'market') there would be a revolution tomorrow'. Our ignorance is their gain.
Our ignorance is a powerful tool for division!
Keep talking...keep writing...keep praying...hoping...going!😎
Hello Patriot Robert James~!
I believe that I understand exactly what you are saying, and I would definitely agree~! Having a very long background as a student of History, Economics, and Law, I do actually possess an excellent understanding of this very concept that you so well speak of. Boy, was that NOT an easy thing to accomplish BTW~! It would be most accurate to understand that the criminals of humanity truly fear "unrestrained capitalism" the most, assuming that we can agree that the definition of unrestrained capitalism is actually a "free market common law economy"~! In other words, I can easily prove that a "free market economy" (a truly "unrestrained capitalism" model) is by FAR the best way to promote and support our American freedoms and ALL of our rights. In fact, the criminals of humanity have very intentionally created a nearly completely & totally "restrained economic model" over the decades, brainwashing people into falsely believing that it is a "free market economic system so that folks would blame "capitalism" and the criminals could easily dominate "us" with their perverted "crony capitalism" model that viciously controls everyone. This is why some folks unfairly blame "capitalism" when it is really the "crony capitalism" model of the criminals of humanity that is really to blame... So, it is actually the "restrained economic model" that has been used to destroy the free-market economy and the GREAT "model of capitalism"~! Ha! We just need to agree on a few terms because these criminals of humanity very intentionally "twist terminology" to confuse us and to get us to fight about things that we actually all agree on in the first place~! A common law free market economy is the ONLY way that America and the world will survive these criminals of humanity and their evil agenda, of course understanding that a COMPLETELY "unrestrained economic model" will probably never be possible, because there will probably always be some things and/or sometimes that "we" (humanity) needs to exercise restraint~! Do we want to fully support free market economic competition at all times~? That is a HUGE subject, but I believe the answer is yes~! Do we want to allow & support a free market deadly drug economy~? Well, I can't think of any possible reason that America or humanity would EVER benefit from that~! We do have to educate folks and adjust the system that currently dictates what a "deadly drug" is, because alcohol, cannabis, and some other "drugs" are definitely not deadly if used correctly and when appropriate... So, I am referring to truly deadly drugs that are not only illicit but also many that are pharmaceutical drugs being produced and distributed... Some "market restraints" are good ;-)
Have a great day~!
Sincerely, Mike
So True, Mike! All of the above is true and accurate and unfortunate. Good thing we're not our bodies!🤗
Am I reading correctly that Loni Greninger is both the Vice Chairwoman of the Jamestown Nation and the clerk of the board at Clallam County?
Gores, Loni, Clerk of the Board. 2 Loni's. Loni Grinnel-Greninger.
Thank you. I nearly had a stroke.
yeah, it could happen - but 'luckily' it wasn't, LOL.
Honoring Communists and accusing Clallam county citizens of prejudice, discrimination, and systemic racism tells you where these miscreant commissioners work for and against. If this was happening 100 years ago, mobs with pitchforks, tar, and feathers would be going after them. What utter bullshit!!!!!!!
