MAYOR DEB SIMMONS RESIDENCY DISCUSSION
(The body of this letter was previously emailed to the City of Manzanita, Mayor Deb Simmons, Council Members, and the City Manager Leila Aman.)
I am very embarrassed by the behavior shown at the City Council meeting on Wednesday, November 8, 2023, continuing a behavior not appropriate.
What happened to Roberts Rules of Order, decorum, common courtesy, and politeness?
Mr. Spegman’s behavior toward Mayor Simmons was despicable, bullying and aggressing and reprimanding her, while she was speaking, showed all of us how out of line you are. You and the other councilors and the city manager are a microcosm of the national lack of civility the last few years.
Mayor Simmons has been endlessly polite and has tried to operate as a professional with integrity, following the rules of the city charter and the city.
For example, learning that Mr. Spegman and Ms. Kozlowski had formed an “ad hoc” committee against the city’s rules, didn’t cause her to yell at the two of you. But, her pointing out your thwarting of the rules was too much for you.
Mr. Spegman used to be an attorney, so he should know better!
Why did no one step up to defend Mayor Simmons, and try to control Mr. Spegman? His anger and hate and frustration were so excessive and inappropriate.
A number of citizens, some months ago, during public comments, called out the behavior of the entire council and city manager toward Mayor Simmons. So, you are aware how the citizens feel about your collective behavior.
“Residency” does not specify ownership of home or renting, etc.
“Residency” does not deny one’s ability to leave the city limits for whatever reason the person chooses.
“Residency” does not demand that you need permission to visit or go shopping or whatever you want or need to do. If it does, none of us are residents.
Instead of applauding Mayor Simmons’ dedication to our community, you attacked her.
Two of the council members are brand new, filling positions open by resignation, and APPOINTED by THREE people. Mayor Simmons was ELECTED to her position, receiving 356 votes from the community, more than the two councilors elected the same day: Mr. Mayerle, 307 votes and Ms. Kozlowski, 294 votes.
Mayor Simmons probably had even more supporters, since many do not vote for a person running unopposed.
Many of us are upset by the continued behavior of the councilors and city manager, including trying to contaminate Mayor Simmons by extensive public opinion pieces.
The results of the “complaint” and “resolution” should be made available to the public. Too much has been kept from the community, even though many have asked for financial and other details. The community is paying the bills!
What are you hiding from the public? How are we supposed to trust you?
If you want the support of the entire community, you need to act as responsible adults and apologize, and change your behavior, and start treating the citizens and the mayor and your fellow councilors honorably.
Our entire world is in chaos, and our community should be better than this!

Make your own Magical Wreath Workshop this Sunday!
Did you know that hanging a wreath on your door is a tradition going back over three thousand years?
Traditionally wreaths were hung on the door as protection for the home and to bring blessings on all who live there.
Making your own wreath lets you tap into this folk tradition and bring some added magic to your holiday home this year.
This 3-hour wreath making class will teach you how to build your own magic wreath from scratch.
Select from a large variety of fresh and dried greens, herbs, berries, seeds, cones, branches and other natural elements – many locally-grown and foraged.
You’ll be encouraged to explore the texture, color, scent, and shape of the materials provided as you design your wreath, and learn which popular materials can be found or foraged around our coastal villages.
We provide all the tools you need, including a wire wreath frame, floral wire, decorative ribbon and cutting tools.
Whether it’s whimsical, big and bold, tailored, or minimalist – join us and take home a wreath that is your very own work of art.
Students are welcome to bring a selection of foraged materials, favorite ribbon, tokens of protection and love etc, to make your wreath even more personalized and unique.
Start a new tradition of magical wreath making for your home!
$95 for wreath making workshop only
$129 for workshop with wood fired sauna, tea and snacks added on.
Only 6 spaces left.

Go Fund Me for Sharla Smith – please help if you can
I started this Go Fund me to help support Sharla Smith, our neighbor and friend, who is in desperate need, through no fault of her own. Her house was old and frail. They did earth compacting for a 24 unit apartment building project in back of our houses, for weeks on end. This broke the tub drain, which then comprised the bathroom. As they were working on repairs, one thing led to another, rot and black mold were uncovered throughout. Her house has become completely unlivable. Now, as winter is starting, she must go through the process of ripping down her home, and trying to figure out what to do next. I’m asking for help creating funds for her to use to at least build shelter for the winter, maybe even enough for a new home, if we can make it happen. I am starting with an amount that would help purchase the materials needed for a small stick built shelter, or purchase a small travel trailer- but again, if possible, please let’s try and go above and beyond to help fund a new home, where she can feel safe, and secure for many years to come. Sharla is an vital part of our community, giving love to us for many years. Now let’s give it back to her. Thank you!
Here’s the link to her Go Fund me – please donate if you can, and please share the link with others, so we can reach our goal, and get Sharla into safe shelter.

Deep Gratitude for you and our community!

Will BBQ reconsider sharing my final post?
I am asking this in the name of equity and inclusiveness. It isn’t fair that I was challenged and then got cancelled and was not allowed to respond.
At the very least, this post has an amazing, historic video from 1974, Geraldo Rivera actually, that every American should see. It should be required viewing in every high school history class.
If this doesn’t get posted so be it, but I think it’s only fair.
+++++
It’s been fun, but I’m done posting on BBQ. This forum is going back off my radar. My posting on BBQ happened kinda by mistake anyway, after I was told a ‘community member’ took a picture of the bumper stickers on my car and said I was a retard or something like that. I had no other way to respond (his post pissed me off) because I abhor social media, cell phones, etc., mostly a mind-control waste of time in my view (we only live once people, let’s stop staring at those screens), and BBQ was the only way I could think of to address his insult.
And then ya’ll got months of my thinking, some of it appreciated in emails, some of it not (hate mail).
The thing is, I’m really not that interested in continuously educating ya’ll with this three year-old vax stuff. I’m more interested in what the tech/banker/globalist planners have in store for us in the future, other than the ongoing wars. What do they think they are going to do, and how will THEIR plans affect US, if at all? (Their plans usually affect us, big time.)
In fact, I thought my recent Whitney Webb post (the future plans of our overlord tech priests) might be my last, but then I chimed in to defend and thank Dixie for her contributions to the ‘vax’ dialogue on BBQ. (Dixie Gainer! NOT the Dixie that owns the wine shop on Laneda Ave. in Manzanita! And you should go buy some wine from that Dixie! Lots of it! Then go home and drink it while reading the other Dixie’s posts!) Doh!
Anyway, I’ve left a lot of links to great resources if you shot the vax and want to understand what happened to you. None of the links are from the big-tech big-pharma sponsored fact-checkers though. I also left a trail of other links explaining how, in my view, World War Three started and could have been stopped.
But I’m moving on to other stuff with my time, looking more at things being proposed by the tech/banker creeps that might show up a few years down the road, after the wars. And I’m fishing and hunting and working.
TODAY’S ALMOST LAST POST:
This insurance industry article (boring!) is actually a good read. What is causing the excess deaths in young folks? The article doesn’t offer an answer.
I have a guess though.
And I am choosing to use this article as yet another cautionary flag: I still ain’t shooting their junk!
From an insurance-industry trade rag:
insurancenewsnet.com/innarticle/excess-mortality-continuing-surge-causes-concerns
I am very curious though, how a military-draft would affect excess-mortality calculations in premiums for young people?
You gotta remember, this is the most diverse administration in U.S. history! This administration is all about equity and inclusiveness!
They will most-assuredly be drafting our young women (if there is a draft), along with our young men, to fight in their wars.
After all of their fake-equity nonsense, they kinda have to draft the young women, you know?
So yeah, will life-insurance be more expensive for 18 year-old girls in the coming year(s)?
And we all better hope that North Korea doesn’t enter the war, because they will clearly out-groove us:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbC6dLG_dQY
Joking aside (hey, you gotta laugh or you’ll just cry all the time), the world war situation is actually much worse than you probably think. The neo-Cons running the Woke War-Con, aka “Biden”, are very much planning to attack Iran:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQMj1Fz5BLA
And here is yet another great video from John Campbell! Gotta love that natural immunity!
It worked for me! (I got sick, then I got better!)
Then I watched billions of adults shoot a vax into their bodies that they didn’t need.
Then I watched them shoot that nasty junk into the bodies of their children.
And the shots didn’t even help the immune-compromised; the shots hurt/are hurting them, too.
(But now they can sue! Woot woot! Score one for the peeps!)
This talk of John’s is about natural immunity vs. vax immunity, not a hugely controversial thing, just interesting:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2Rvjt-UN5c
Responding to another BBQ post stating Nader should have endorsed Gore, then Gore would have won the Presidency??? Come on now! Gore DID win the Presidency! Bush STOLE it (don’t ya remember?), but Gore was too much of a pansy-*ss to claim his throne! There were ways, he gave up. I think with 9/11 and the neo-con war-pig’s brutal invasion of Iraq coming down the pipe, he likely calculated ‘screw it, history can lay that sh*t on George’. Whatever the case, he would have made a horrible president. Nader shoulda stuck to seatbelts though, I agree with the author there.
Here is a great, historic film of when the CIA/neo-con war-pig bankers murdered RFK, Jr.s uncle, a few years before they murdered RFK, Jr.’s father. And don’t you worry Democrats! RFK, Jr. will NEVER be president of the United States! You heard it here first! The war-pig neocons running today’s Democrat Party will absolutely, undoubtedly, most-assuredly kill him first. I’m sorry to say he doesn’t stand a chance (I’m keeping my RFK, Jr. for prez bumper-sticker on my car anyway). And they will likely kill him soon after he starts running as a 3rd Party candidate and starts spoiling the race for Biden or Gavin or whomever else the woke war-pigs want in power next.
Trump remains the only presidential candidate that can reel-back World War Three, which ‘Biden’ has already started. Trump never would have started these wars. Putin would never have invaded Ukraine if Trump was in power. But methinks the wars will be blown-up to monster-size by the time of the presidential election, so there might not be much that Trump, or anyone else, will be able to do to stop World Wars Woke. (Wars, that’s better)
The CIA even tried to bait Trump into attacking Iran when he was president, he declined. Tucker Carlson and Col. Douglas McGregor advised him, in person, against attacking Iran after the shot-down drone thing. (Trump: (after Iran shot down the old drone the CIA flew down the Iranian coast): “eh, it was old, only worth 2-million dollars…”. Luv it!!!!!!
Moving on to this fascinating piece of history:
Context Geraldo Rivera’s 1974 weekly show “Good Night America”. (A super ironic name when this particular episode aired.)
Hoover’s FBI and Dulles’ CIA took Abraham Zapruder’s Super 8 film footage of the assassination from him (he gave it to them, they didn’t give it back) and hid it from the public for TEN YEARS. The film proves JFK was killed by someone other than Oswald, that he was hit from shots fired in front of him. You can see it in the film for yourself. Oswald, so we are told from Dulles’ assassination report (History!), was behind John. In this video (it’s 60 years later so it no longer matters to the spooks running Google that the vid is displayed on their very useful-to-them YouTube channel), Geraldo Rivera and Dick Gregory show the film to the public for the first time, EVER. Think about that sh*t: ten years later. No cell phone cameras. No cameras on the sides of every building. You had to develop your film, wait days to see what you shot. So nobody saw what actually happened (unless you were there, and many were, and many talked, gotta research it…) for ten years.
When you watch the film and see Jackie climbing onto the back of the limo to pick up the pieces of John’s brain, remember that Oswald is supposedly behind John, firing the shots. He wasn’t, which his why Hoover’s FBI and Dulles’ CIA hid this film from the public for ten years:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGdM7ut-Kk4
And here is my response to Hank’s ‘challenge’ of the John Campbell Switzerland video, which I wrote yesterday, but didn’t get posted for some reason. (I love the ‘challenge’, the dialogue, etc., and I hope we still wave to each other when we pass on North Fork!)
THE RESPONSE POST THAT DIDN’T GET POSTED:
A quote from a ‘reputable fact-checking organization’, linked to in a previous BBQ post:
“It’s being claimed a study by researchers in Switzerland found COVID-19 vaccines cause myocarditis in one in 35 people. This is false. The study found one in 35 participants reported levels of elevated troponin, which is not the same as having the inflammatory heart disease.”
That’s good news????
“It’s all good! I just have elevated levels of troponin, I don’t have myocarditis yet!”
Eh, I’m still not shooting the junk.
How about some research on those glass particles in the Remdisivir thing? That looked legit.
Or some ‘fact-checking’ on that legal case in Michigan that will finally allow folks to sue for their vax injuries?
John Campbell is a beautiful and highly intelligent man. I hate seeing him slandered by the ‘fact-checkers’ like Poynter (sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation…and the oil and plastic and vax-loving Koch Brothers) or anyone else. I encourage everyone to watch John Campbell’s videos if you’re into the subject matter he presents.
I screwed up in one of my last posts, and I apologize. I wrote that my friend who is of 40 years, whose doctor told her that her myocarditis is likely from the vax (which was administered locally), “had to go see him twice a week”. I was wrong, and I apologize. She only has to go see him twice a month. I guess that’s good news too.
Oh…and if you want to fact-check that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation sponsors Poynter (used by another to check facts in a previous post), you’ll have to do some fact-checking other than checking your facts with the big-tech-sponsored fact-checkers (basically all of them), and do a wee little bit of actual research.
Bonus:
The ‘Ukraine War’ is over. And just like I said, the negotiation will see Russia getting what it wanted (NATO to go away) before Boris Johnson (UK) killed the peace deal, which he killed by lying to Zelensky and telling him that Biden’s $110,000,000,000 in murderous ‘aid’ would actually help Ukraine.
The Democrats’ ‘aid’ for Ukraine could have seen $300,000,000 for each congressional district. There’s your NCRD money, paved roads, food for the homeless, drug sobriety programs, money for schools so teachers don’t have to strike and kids can actually go to skool, etc. etc.
Spending our money on the above instead of destroying Ukraine would have been very progressive.

Yet still, today, the WSJ ran this advertisement (link) for more war. Apparently the only Ukrainians left for America to kill (we fund it) are the girls:
dnyuz.com/2023/11/08/if-not-me-who-as-ukraine-seeks-troops-women-prepare-for-the-call/
This is where all that fake-equity leads: the girls get to die too.

We’ll offer a few questions to ponder:
How can you redefine playfulness as you age?
What brings you feelings of contentment? Peace? Happiness? What lights you up? What fulfills you?
When do you most feel a sense of well being?
What in your life helps you feel a sense of wonder, or most alive?
Do you have daily, weekly or annual rituals, habits or practices that improve the quality of your life?
Recall memories of things you loved doing as a kid. How did those activities make you feel? How can we recreate those same feelings at this time in our lives?
Please bring paper and pen for a brief writing exercise.
