Charlotte is a beautiful gray kitty with soft white fur on her chest and dainty white tipped toes. She has dreamy yellow eyes, long white whiskers and a striking black nose.

Charlotte loves attention and will be the first to cuddle on any available lap. She likes to play but will run to any friendly human, looking for a snuggle. She especially loves to have her head and neck scratched. She is definitely a lap cat!

Charlotte will make a wonderful companion because she wants to be a part of whatever is happening – especially when there might be an opportunity for a head scratch or a tummy rub. Charlotte has so much love to share and cannot wait to get started with her own forever family.

The John Lewis Protest in Nehalem was a great success, drawing at least 85 people. The participants from a remarkable range of places. Attendees came from across Oregon—including Rockaway Beach, Tillamook, Nehalem, Wheeler, Manzanita, Salem, Redmond, Portland, Klamath Falls, and Cannon Beach—as well as from out-of-state locations such as Seattle, Blaine, and Kirkland (Washington); Gary (Indiana); Palm Desert (California); Las Vegas (Nevada); and Boston (Massachusetts). The diversity of our group was truly inspiring, and we appreciated every person who joined us.

Throughout the event, conversations centered around issues and programs affecting people throughout the United States and around the world. Your presence and thoughtful discussions made a real difference, and we look forward to welcoming even more new faces at future gatherings.

We will be meeting again next Saturday, July 26th, from noon to 2 pm. The location is still being finalized, but I will send an update as soon as it is confirmed, so please stay tuned for details.

Thank you all for your support and for showing up! Together, we’re making a positive impact.

Best regards,

Patty

Oregon Senator Ron Wyden is going after Epstein? Eh, not so much…

For four years the Biden admin did nothing for Epstein’s victims!!! What changed, Ron?

(Drumf harnessed the anger of MAGA over this, and now has totally betrayed MAGA by covering it up. Drumf is either on video committing rape, or he is protecting his Israeli masters, and MAGA knows this. Hopefully he gets impeached over this, but unlike the bogus Russia-gate impeachment, dems are deeply involved with Epstein so don’t count on Drumf being impeached over the Israel-inspired cover-up.)



Where was this NY Times story when Dems were in the White House, Ron? Not a damn thing for four years!

Maybe because Democrats Bill Clinton, Former New Mexico Gov Bill Richardson and Alan Dershowitz have all been accused of raping children with Epstein?

Also involved with Epstein but not yet publicly accused, Democrats Bill Gates, Al Gore, Woody Allen, Kevin Spacey, Harvey Weinstein and Noam Chomsky.

From OPB article below:

“One of the more notable names, former President Bill Clinton, is mentioned frequently in the documents.
They say that Clinton allegedly took a trip to Thailand with Epstein and include allegations from one witness who testified Epstein told her “Clinton likes them young, referring to girls.””


Full: www.opb.org/article/2024/01/04/court-documents-reveal-names-of-powerful-men-allegedly-linked-to-jeffrey-epstein/

Wyden’s limited hangout operation/propaganda operation is on display in the genocidal Israeli-loving Judith Miller/Iraq War-starting NEW YORK TIMES…so beware, this is propaganda from Wyden and the Times, NOT journalism!



www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/business/epstein-banks-wyden-trump.html?unlocked_article_code=1.XE8.b91O.1E-pGLZf2wL9&smid=url-share

Here we can see Ron Wyden doing what is called a ‘limited hangout’. He will uncover crimes of Epstein’s that are politically convenient for him to uncover, but he will ignore those that hurt his friends and donors. For instance, Ron WILL NEVER drop the goods on Bill Clinton and Epstein, who are besties. (See below)

Ron highlights Leon Black in the ‘article’. My guess, Leon did NOT contribute to any of Wyden’s campaigns.

And while most of the world focuses on Epstein’s sex crimes, most of Epstein’s crimes were financial. He was part of one of the biggest bank scams on Wall Street. He also ran guns and drugs. He is Mossad/MI6/CIA – which is the same evil beast these days.

“I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone.” Alexander Acosta, the former US attorney in Miami, on why he cut Jeffrey Epstein a sweetheart non-prosecution plea deal back in 2007.

When you are reading Epstein’s name, you may as well substitute “Israel, Mossad, CIA, MI6” for his name, as he is 100% ‘intelligence’ and did/does nothing without Mossad/Israeli approval.

The Gap, not just baby clothes:

The Gap, The Limited and Victoria’s secret were owned by billionaire Les Wexner, a Zionist and Mossad agent, though that is redundant. Les gave Epstein the 75-million dollar home in Manhattan where many of the blackmail rapes caught on camera occurred. Epstein also had a ranch in New Mexico accessible only by airplane, and that is where former New Mexico governor and Clinton pal Bill Richardson raped the girls, or I should say stands accused by women of raping them when they were children.

The Gap planes were also used by Epstein and Wexner to run guns and drugs, based out of Ohio, as those are key money-makers for intel black budgets and have been since well before Iran/contra.

I remember seeing Victoria’s Secret models dressed in sexy camouflage during a Super Bowl as Bush was destroying Iraq for Israel. It disgusted me so much I stopped watching the NFL for good that day. Now I know it was Epstein and Wexner (Israel/Mossad) that brought us that contextually amoral anorexic display while our troops were murdering Iraqis for no reason other than to kill for Greater Israel and make oil money doing so. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, that was our own gov’t and Israel that flew those planes and then blew up those four WTC buildings.

Here is Whitney Webb, one of the greatest researchers in American history, in a video that RON WYDEN DOES NOT WANT YOU TO WATCH!!!!

she wrote this book, that RON WYDEN DOES NOT WANT YOU TO READ:

Hey Ron, are you going to tell us about Bill Clinton traveling the world with Jeffery Epstein, on Epstein’s private jet, while setting up the slush fund/money-laundering operation known as The Clinton Foundation? PLEASE TELL US ABOUT THIS RON! Oregonians deserve to know ALL OF THE TRUTH, not just the tidbits that are politically beneficial to you!

Fun fact: Epstein’s jet was was used by the CIA in the former Yugoslavia when Bill Clinton bombed that country to hell. Jeffrey bought the plane AFTER that. And Bill stands accused of trafficking children out of Yugoslavia, a well as Haiti for that matter.

Epstein is alive, and Ron Wyden knows this as well.

Billionaires have been broken out of jail before. The cameras were not working, remember? Jeffery is a top Mossad asset, they love him! They won’t kill him or let him be killed. His brother Mark had all of Jeffery’s assets put into his name a week before they broke him out of jail. Then the brother hired Michael Baden to go on the talk show circuit with an Xray of a broken neck that he claimed was of Jeffery. He claimed the breaks were not from hanging, but done by a 2nd party, that he was murdered. The truth lies in door #3 – he is alive. I say the Xray was of an unfortunate Palestinian.

Who is Michael Baden? He is the CIA-asset that came up with the superbly ridiculous ‘magic bullet theory’ of the JFK assassination way back then, at 25 years-old. And George Floyd’s family SOMEHOW found Baden and hired him to do a 2nd autopsy on George after the first found George had overdosed on fentanyl and WAS NOT killed by white cop Chauvin. Baden then told the world that the white cop killed George, and then Minneapolis was destroyed, as well as downtown Portland, which has yet to recover. If you want to know what happened to downtown Portland, look no further than corrupt CIA-asset Michael Baden.

nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/10/why-to-be-skeptical-of-michael-baden-on-epsteins-death.html

Virginia Guiffre (Roberts back then), who was repeatedly raped by Epstein and Prince Andrew, is the woman who brought Jeffrey to court, and the one who started all of this. She was murdered a few months ago in Australia where she was living with her children and husband.

If you want to understand how the trafficking works in the world of billionaires, how depraved these people really are, Anekke Lucas is a great place to start. She was inspired by Virginia to speak out. Anekke was David Rockefeller’s sex-slave at twelve years old, and she is one of the bravest humans alive:

This might be the most important video I have ever shared on this site.

THE VIDEO DEALS WITH OUR EXPLOSION OF ALZHEIMERS, AND THE ROLE GEOENGINEERING PLAYS:

rumble.com/v6w3eyg-rfk-jr.-running-mate-drops-bombshell-about-geoengineering-and-alzheimers-w-.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp_a

Nicole is Google founder Sergei’s ex, they are divorced and she now has billions to fight for humanity and the environment. She is driven by the fact that their child has autism, which she believes, after research and spending much money, that it was from vaccines, that they are a primary cause of autism in America.

She has also uncovered info on the geoengineering that I have been crowing about on this site as I’m quite shocked that few have noticed what they are doing, though it is right over our heads and clearly visible here on the north coast.

Again, if you don’t believe in geoengineering, they offer classes at the University of Washington in Seattle, the same city where Flight Tracker shows DARPA’s planes that spray over us on the north coast of Oregon and the south coast of Washington originate.

rumble.com/v2h0t7w-jfk-and-lbj-wanted-to-predict-and-control-the-weather.html?e9s=src_v1_s%2Csrc_v1_s_o

Georgia is getting ready to ban the practice:

x.com/RepMTG/status/1941511529817415692

Why do our politicians let this happen in Oregon’s skies? Not a word about it.

And we even have some folks who know all about this in Tillamook County, at the Near Johnson Space Center housed at the Tillamook Airport.

Can just one Oregon politician bring these guys in for an informational briefing? No harm in that. Maybe they can help us understand the what and why of this aerial spraying program run by DARPA being deployed in Tillamook and Clatsop counties?

These guys work out of Tillamook, at the airport:

nsc.aero/high-altitude-testing/


And here are two bills that can essentially be copied here in Oregon. Is there anyone on either side of the aisle brave enough to bing this into the public sphere?

(If no Dems are brave enough, Drazan maybe? Or is she too busy making statements supporting Israel’s genocide in the Middle East and Drumf’s bombing of Iran?)

The bills make it a FELONY to spray this crap into the air, into OUR LUNGS, into the lungs of birds, into the soil, into our farmland/rangeland.

What crap? Barium salts, bromium, aluminum, strontium, nano-tech. Pathogens can also be spayed.

If you don’t think we have the technology for this I’m not sure what to tell you. If you don’t think our government would do this to us, I’m not sure what to tell you.

The SAI pollution is far more important than firework residue left on the beach in my view. But I’ve learned that people look down quite a bit, and rarely look up.

While folks were looking down and picking up firework trash on the beach on July 5th, the geo-engineers sprayed over their heads, around Miami/Foley, it was visible from Manzanita that day. Did anyone in Manzanita see it?

I can’t post photos but if anyone is able to do so and has photos of SAI ‘clouds’ so folks can see what they look like that would be great.

PROTEST IN NEHALEM, JULY 17, 4-6 PM

Please join us on July 17th, for our John Lewis Day PROTEST. John Lewis was there on Bloody Sunday and was beaten by our government. He was arrested over 45 times for getting into what he called “GOOD TROUBLE” during the Civil Rights Era. There will be over 1,000 events across the USA this coming Thursday and we hope you will join us.

Yes, we will once again be at the base of Nehalem hill in the public parking area. We expect this to be a peaceful protest and ask all attending to be peaceful-walk away if harassed. Find someone in an orange vest and tell them about the incident. Do not take the matter into your own hands. All our other PROTESTS have been proven to be safe, and we want to continue this way.

Once again, we will be collecting food and money for our local food bank. We will have flags for sale and all that money will go to North County Food Bank in Wheeler. If you wish to send a check : NCFB, PO Box 162, Wheeler, Oregon, 97147. To help feed our children while they are on summer break please send your check to Nehalem Bay Community Services, PO Box 156, Nehalem, Oregon, 97147.

Thank you all for showing up this past Saturday in Nehalem. It was a hot, hot day, but people stayed as long as they could. Bring water, signs, your friends, chairs, and whatever you need to be comfortable. Layered clothing is a good idea.

As John Lewis said many years ago, “We still have work to do.”

Best,
Patty

I usually try to keep up with the daily news and this means checking in with left and right cable news and some podcasters. I heard that Elon Musk called the Big Beautiful Bill a product of the Porky Pig Party and this made me laugh – thats a good one!! Actually at the very tippy tippy top of the RNC, It IS the Porky Pig Party, and at the tippy tippy top of the DNC, we have the Looney Toones Party. The Porky Pig Party and the Looney Tunes Party. The two major parties of the USA! No wonder there are so many independent voters! No wonder we are a country in decline!! (Elon Musk wants to start another party -( The American Party?) My opinion is that a good government can be had with a basic balance between the major parties, including the independent voters in Oregon who now number about the same as the Democratic Party. I also think that if we had a government in balance with these three groups we would have a pretty good functioning legislative body in Oregon. Thats what I think! And thats what I want. I also know that there are really good people in all parties in our Oregon legislature. But they are few – they are not enough – It is getting pretty obvious that we do not have good governance in Oregon.
(2025 -“biggest tax increases in the history of Oregon”)
Judicial Watch claims we have the dirtiest voter roles in the country, they did win a lawsuit against Oregon, and MANY Oregonians agree and would like to go back to voting in person, allowing exclusions for those who find it hard to get to the poles to vote by mail.

Across the country about 70 percent of people who are registered to vote actually vote. That is the average. In Oregon 105% of people vote!!! Do you see a problem here? It doesn’t take a mystical algorithm to figure this out! (AI claims that Dr. Frank purports to have special algorythms to show voter fraud – not true)
What are Oregonians going to do? Go to the courts? NO
Obviously there is a problem. Our Democratic majority in Salem does not want a change, but there is now a real possibility for change. This will happen – not thru the court system, but a county by county change working with the sheriffs in every county. It isn’t just the Democratic Party in Oregon that doesn’t want change, but who ever is pulling the strings for the control of this entire country doesn’t want to lose control of the ability to manipulate elections.
Someone has an idea about how to solve this problem without going through the courts. In Oregon courts all judges have been put there by Democratic governors, going against the spirit of the Oregon constitution! A man named Dr. Douglas G. Frank has a better idea! He is described in the news as a math teacher, and “election denier” – how ever Dr. Frank is a world-renowned physicist, inventor and elections expert who has met with hundreds of head officials in over 40 states to discuss returning election integrity to America.

Here is his bio: Dr. Douglas G. Frank has approximately sixty peer-reviewed scientific publications, including feature and cover articles in the leading scientific journals in the world (Science, Nature, Naturwissenschaften). He was nominated for the Nobel prize. During his graduate and postdoctoral work he discovered and developed a new type of microscopy capable of producing three-dimensional images of molecules resting on metal surfaces. This gave him international credibility in the area of Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) and Auger electron spectroscopy and microscopy, and his work is prominently featured in college textbooks and handbooks on the subjects.
However in attempts to belittle him he is described in mainstream media as just a math teacher, and an election denier! Also “conspiracy theorist” and whatever else they can throw in there to convince you THERE IS NO PROBLEM, therefore, Dr. Frank is a fool!
I really want better governance in Oregon- to get this we need election integrity.

Never given the chance to be a kitten herself, Daisy loves to spend time each day
playing. Wand toys and small felt balls are her favorite. She especially loves to chase balls down
a flight of stairs. Daisy knows her name and usually comes running when you call her –
especially when it is playtime. But when playtime is over, Daisy is ready to relax and hang out.
Daisy will make a wonderful companion because of her calm and quiet demeanor. She
loudly purrs when you scratch her neck or give her a brushing. She is learning to be a lap cat
and is surprisingly fine with having her front claws clipped. Her favorite game is using a
cardboard scratching post and getting a treat afterwards.
Although she had a rough start to life, Daisy is ready to bring sweetness and joy into your life.

The Drumf Admins Real ID effort seeks to finally complete a giant step toward the tech billionaire/banker objective of getting rid of cash and being in total control of our digital payments, which would also be 100% under their (CIA/Musk/Drumf/Blackrock) surveillance.

Real ID is planned to go all digital once enough Americans sign up/fall for the scam. It currently uses facial recognition when the photo is taken at the DMV.

YOU DO NOT NEED A REAL ID TO FLY: THAT IS A LIE FROM THE DRUMF ADMIN

The Real ID effort was started by Bush/Cheney after they and Israel flew planes into the World Trade Center towers and then blew up four of the towers. Most folks only remember that two World Trade Center towers fell; three fell into their own footprint, 1, 2 and 7, while building 6 had the roof blown in. The Mossad rigged the explosives. (I heard that 2nd hand in-person from a known journalist, and I believe him, and I don’t care if you don’t.) Then the pre-written 1,000 page Patriot Act, that so far has been mostly used AGAINST patriots, was passed after the CIA released anthrax in the offices of the two Senators opposing the act, Lehey and Daschle.

Real ID is pat of the anti-American patriot act from Bush/Cheney.

As far as flying commercially (private jets don’t count as there are different rules for the rich) a passport works.

Real ID is useless to cross any national border. Passports are here to stay until the billionaire criminals get their Global ID functioning.

But there is more to Real ID than flying. Famed puppy-killer DHS head Kristie Noam is pushing this anti-MAGA federal ID with lies. She is doing her part to complete the planned control grid for Drumf and her billionaire masters.

Do you know how we simply wave our cards or phones in front of a reader at stores? The plan is for a chip to be implanted in the skin between your thumb and forefinger, then you will simply wave that, no need for a phone that folks can forget, forget to charge, or don’t want at all.

Real ID will interface with the implanted-chip-tech.

Sweden has already developed and tested subdermal biometric ID markers meant to be inserted in your wrist which will act as Id, credit card, key and medical info: (ARE YOU UP TO DATE ON LARRY ELLISON and ELON’S MRNA GENE-THERAPY SCHEDULE? No? Well that’s why the chip’s not working! Go be a good American and get your shots from Elon! Then you can buy groceries again!)

And if you think folks wouldn’t require shots to get groceries, here is an open letter I wrote to Noam Chomsky, who advocated for that very thing!


smartfish.substack.com/p/letter-to-noam-chomsky

And here is an NPR article from 6 years ago, about Sweden’s implantable chips, which are already in thousands of people:

www.npr.org/2018/10/22/658808705/thousands-of-swedes-are-inserting-microchips-under-their-skin

This is Palantir 100%, the company started by the CIA under Bush/Cheney that is now targeting/has targeted children in Gaza for Israel and Biden and Drumf and has total control over Drumf’s/Musk’s implementation of A.I. in Oregon and every other state.

Wyden and Merkely know all of this and they don’t care, or at least haven’t said a word about any of it. They don’t work for Oregonians, they work for their billionaire masters and, more and more, for Israel.

What other cultures already know about self-care (and why we should too)

In America, we wear “busy” like a badge of honor.

Ask someone how they’re doing, and the answer is often a sigh followed by, “Oh, just so busy.” We equate packed schedules with purpose, exhaustion with productivity, and overwhelm with importance. Somewhere along the line, we started confusing being busy with being worthy.

But what if we’ve got it all backward?

The Culture of Constant Doing

Our country celebrates hustle. We glorify overwork, multitasking, and the idea that “rest is for the weak.” Social media feeds us highlight reels of 4 a.m. gym sessions, back-to-back meetings, side hustles, and endless to-do lists, all under the banner of ambition and success.

But look a little closer, and you’ll see the cracks: rising anxiety, chronic illness, emotional burnout, disconnection. We’re living in a society that’s sprinting toward burnout, and calling it achievement.

What Other Countries Get Right

Travel beyond U.S. borders and you’ll notice something radically different. In Spain, the afternoon siesta isn’t laziness, it’s rhythm. In Italy, a two-hour lunch with friends is not indulgent, it’s necessary. In Japan, forest bathing (shinrin-yoku) is considered a form of therapy. In Denmark, hygge, “the art of cozy contentment,” is practically a national value.

These cultures recognize that rest isn’t the reward after the work is done. Rest is part of the work. It fuels clarity, creativity, and connection. They’ve built this into their lifestyles, and their health and happiness reflect it.

What Self-Care Actually Means

Let’s be clear: self-care isn’t just bubble baths and scented candles. It’s learning to say no. It’s choosing presence over performance. It’s making space for movement, meals that nourish you, meaningful relationships, and yes, stillness.

You don’t need permission to slow down.

You need courage.

Because in a culture that tells you to go-go-go, choosing rest is rebellion. And rebellion, in this case, might just save your life.

Your Gentle Call to Action:

Take one thing off your plate this week and replace it with something that feeds your soul. A walk. A nap. A quiet meal. A deep breath.

And if you’re not sure where to begin, you’re not alone. I help women (and a few brave men) rewire their mindset around worth, wellness, and rest. If this article sparked something in you, let’s talk.

Here’s a story from the Tillamook County Pioneer that describes how an entry in the Fourth of July parade of was deemed too political. The entry–people dressed as the Statue of Liberty, one with a sash that said “Protect the Constitution” and one with the word “Choice” on the crown.

Have we truly come to this? We were supposed to be celebrating our Independence. This censorship is not that. My heart is even heavier as the consequences of the destruction of our American ideals comes to our community.

This is the trash I collected off the beach in one hour in about a 30 ft diameter of space. I’m disgusted, saddened, livid.

The impact of fireworks is huge…PTSD for our veterans, our dogs, our sensitive people, the chemical smoke, the living creatures of our ocean that will consume all this trash, etc.

I got to the beach at 9am. Some of you were out there at 6, 7, 8am cleaning up…and several people were also out with me filling their giant trash bags. And let’s not forget how much has been carried off by the high tide. Yikes!

What’s being done to stop this?
Why are we allowing people to trash the beach?
Where are the restrictions, like in Cannon Beach?

…just yielded our sovereignty to Elon and Drumf’s A.I. takeover.

In all of the Big Beautiful BS fallout, and in the lead-up to the vote, not one Oregon politician discussed that Elon and Drumf and Palantir and Blackock can now implement their A.I. in Oregon and there is nothing that our state can do to regulate it.

I have apparently lost my health insurance because of this bill. As bad is that is for me, Elon and Drumf’s unregulated A.I. will have a far worse affect on my life – BUT ONLY IF I LET IT. If they can get away with it and get their nanotech into me, via their shots and sprays, it will be worse for my health than not having health insurance. So I have started to disengage from tech, from the upcoming A.I. anti-human nightmare.

Alas, I have ditched my cell phone for the summer, hopefully longer, and as soon as this old laptop dies, I am going offline as well. Offline and Feelin’ Fine is where I’m headed.

More time to fish and hunt and gather is how I am looking at it. I have a lot of books to read. I have lots of DVDs and CDs and vinyl.

Wyden and Merkely, as I said, did absolutely nothing to stop the upcoming A.I.-coordinated dissolution of cash/hijacking of our health, in Oregon. They won’t even talk about it. Same with the Reps of course, but I figure they never even knew about it. But the Senators knew, especially the intel guy.

Wyden has been in bed with big tech since before Oregon’s Oracle disaster. Being on the Senate Select Intelligence Committee, Wyden is fully aware of everything I am about to write.

Project Oracle was started at the CIA. Larry Ellison and the C.I.A. turned it into Oracle. The CIA often takes programs to the private sector where they can do things they are not allowed to do in the public sector. Such as….

…the Bush-era “Total Information Awareness” program that was deemed unconstitutional so it was taken to the private sector as “Palantir”, which was ’started’ by Peter Thiel of PayPal. Thiel is also the guy who brought JD Vance to Maralago for VP consideration. They are all CIA. (Capitalism’s Invisible Army)

Palantir is providing Israel with the A.I. that picks strategic targets in Gaza, and the majority of the human targets picked have been children.

“The report alleges deliberate acts have been aimed against mothers and children, including the destruction of Gaza’s main fertility clinic, Basma IVF clinic, which it said amounted to “a genocidal act under the Rome Statute and Genocide Convention”. It concluded that “this was done with the intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza as a group, in whole or in part, and that this is the only inference that could reasonably be drawn from the acts in question”.

Again, Wyden and Merkeley know this, and they know they just gave Oregon’ sovereignty to these same child-killing A.I.-running sociopaths.

theconversation.com/israels-war-on-gaza-is-deliberately-targeting-children-new-un-report-252398

Thiel responds:

responsiblestatecraft.org/peter-thiel-israel-palantir/

And

www.thenationalnews.com/future/2025/05/06/palantir-earnings-alex-karp-palestine-protester/

All of that above, is/was 100% sanctioned by Drumf/Bush and Biden/Obama. These people are megalomaniacal psychopaths.

As I point fingers at Biden and Israel and Drumf for targeting children in Israel, it should be pointed out that Clinton did the same genocidal thing, targeting children and mothers/potential mothers in Iraq; but Bill didn’t bomb them all, he starved most of them to death via sanctions, setting up Bush for an easier time in Iraq, as those 500,000 dead children would have been of fighting age by the time Dubya invaded. These people plan decades in advance.

Here is Clinton’s Sec State Madeline Albright acknowledging Epstein’s bestie Bill Clinton’s genocide in Iraq:

x.com/theserfstv/status/1506706179178725379

Back to…

Larry Ellison and Oracle then ripped-off around $250 million from Oregon, 100 million of which was recouped via lawsuit: but much of the payment came in the form of Oracle (The C.I.A.) helping out with Oregon’s tech and even educating our kids on tech. Having the CIA run much our state’s tech and ‘educating’ our children is hardly a victory, in my view. Why the State of Oregon went into business with Ellison (The C.I.A.) in the first place should be investigated. (Ask Wyden, the dude on the Senate Intel Committee.)

www.oregonlive.com/politics/2016/09/post_183.html

Larry then bought the island of Lanai in Hawaii. The billionaire found the food ‘unpalatable’, so he had to take care of that first….and now…

www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2022-oracle-larry-ellison-lanai-hawaii-plans-tourism/

On Day One of Drumf’s presidency, Larry was given time in front of the cameras to explain to Americans that he he intends to hack into their bodies and use A.I. to create designer ‘vaccines’ tailored to individual Americans based on their DNA. Is this why Drumf and Elon got rid of my health insurance? So their 500 Billion dollar A.I. mRNA hijacking of our immense system appears to be the only health option in the future? What ‘event’ do they have in the works for the future?

They will also make money from the A.I. shots though we are paying the 500B to get them off the ground. The same scam happened with Gates and Mode RNA (there’s more of that hidden meaning stuff they love so much) and Pfizer during the ‘covid’ trillion-dollar banker/tech scam.

Again, Drumf pledged 500 billion to Larry on Day One, to help him REDUCE our longevity and population as he and his buddies try to live to 120 years, then 130 years, topping out (for now) at 150 years old. That’s their plan, as crazy as they sound. And I do think they are all insane.

“In recent years, Ellison has formed close ties with Musk, investing $1 billion in Twitter’s acquisition and serving on Tesla’s board as a major shareholder.
His extensive real estate portfolio includes a $300 million Hawaiian island, which he envisions as an exclusive eco-resort for the ultra-wealthy and where Musk is a visitor.”

And here is Larry at the White House on Day One of the Treasonous Drumf Presidency:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A6ugvydgXQ

The ‘news’ anchor/robot says ‘the goal of Stargate is to bring 100,000 jobs to the United States.” She couldn’t be more dishonest about the billionaires’ actual objectives, such as Larry and Drumf’s A.I. actually replacing human jobs, and of course the ‘surveillance going under the skin’ objective, which is primary:

“Larry Ellison contended that Stargate could lead to the AI-facilitated production of mRNA vaccin es against cancer, and that such vaccines could be designed “robotically”, or by leveraging AI, “in about 48 hours”

And no need for Elon’s Nuralink after those shots from Larry…. Who would voluntarily shoot this stuff from Larry and Drumf? I think they’ve miscalculated big time on that part of the equation…none the less, Drumf has given them 500 Billion dollars as 200,000 Oregonians just lost their health insurance. Treason anyone?

Don’t let Gates’ upcoming plandemic #2 (avian flu) scare you into shooting this tech junk!

Don’t let those shots be a requirement for accessing Elon and Drumf’s digital payment system once they dissolve cash!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don’t let Dumf and Elon close your bank account because you don’t want to shoot Larry Ellison and Elon’ A.I. shots, or for that matter, because you are protesting fascism on Laneda Ave.



www.newsweek.com/banks-have-begun-freezing-accounts-linked-trucker-protest-1680649

And a bit more on the rest of the billionaire cabal of megalomaniacal psychopaths that Obama/Bush/Biden and Drumf love(d) catering to:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBa2dNfvk40

In closing, nobody in Oregon politics is (or was) paying any attention the the A.I. takeover. And now Dumf and Elon are in charge of it and nobody in Oregon politics can do a damn thing about it.

I say kill your phone ASAP, stop buying from Amazon etc, do not use digital streaming services at all, get rid of your Tesla and any ‘smart’ car connected to the internet. Get rid of ‘smart’ anything. Don’t use anything but cash. Shop at Natural Grocers (or buy local farm products), as they have a sign up (at the Warrenton store) stating that they will not cary Bill Gate’s APPEEL, a nano-tech spray he puts on apples, including those of Bragg’s, a company that he now owns so he can spray the apples with his nanotech-laden APPEEL. Bill is also now the nation’s number one owner of farm land. (How about them apples?)

At least Natural Grocers is hip to Gate’s nanotech plans. I say prep food, medicine, and clothing. The more you are on your own the harder it will be for them to digitally enslave you.

Good luck to all of us trying to stay free and human, we’ll need it.

And if you go to a parade today please understand it is only a parade; we are no longer free from tyranny, we are now living right in the midst of it.

1776!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AGAIN, NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Democratic regime in Oregon has attempted to raise the highest taxes ever in Oregon without a vote from the people. People are barely getting by, the Democrats in the legislature are basically saying to the working class “let them eat cake”. The huge siphoning off of money has been given to failed programs in Oregon, like “deflection” and the education program. They also have decided to allow the Oregon schools to fail when student achievements are the lowest in America. And as in all authoritarian regimes the state of Oregon has taken over serious decisions involving minor children, taking this away from parents. Also allowing students to graduate even though they cannot read or write.
The wealthy Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, not only taking one million dollars every year from USAID and also making use of insider trading is now worth 167 million dollars, and she is certainly not the only Democratic millionaire legislator to do this. Democrats keep electing Senator Ron Widen who doesn’t even live in this state, his wife has received 2,7 million dollars from covid money even though she didn’t use it as it was intended, and then under Biden it was decided that the people who got the money could just keep it!! Millions and millions of dollars of covid money they can just “keep”!!
But maybe things are changing – lets hope- for the first time since 2002? Some elected Democrats are pushing back against this authoritarianism taxing regime in Oregon.

Dear Folks,

Thanks once again for showing up in Nehalem last week. The PROTEST was a good one, lots of thumbs up and horns honking. We look for the same thing this Saturday, July 5, in Manzanita. We will be PROTESTING from noon to 2 pm. In anticipation of having more people join us for this PROTEST we will have people stationed throughout the crowd with orange vests on. If for any reason you have a problem, please locate one of these people and they will help you out. If for any reason you have someone harassing you, please turn around and walk away and find a person with an orange vest on. If an orange vested person sees you are doing something dangerous, they will call you out and please listen to them. Because this is going to be a busy weekend, and because Highway 101 is a very busy route, we will be asking two things of you.

1. DO NOT CROSS HIGHWAY 101 TO THE EAST SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. DO NOT CROSS THE HIGHWAY TO TAKE PICTURES. DO NOT CROSS THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE DOES. JUST DO NOT CROSS THE HIGHWAY. BY DOING SO YOU PUT YOURSELF AND OTHERS IN DANGER.

2. TO CROSS THE HIGHWAY NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF HIGHWAY 101 AND LANEDA AVENUE, BY MANZANITA LUMBER, WE WILL HAVE AN ORANGE VESTED PERSON THERE WITH A FLAG TO HELP YOU CROSS. PLEASE LISTEN TO THEM AND CROSS WHEN THEY ARE READY. WE ASK YOU NOT TO CROSS AT THIS LOCATION BETWEEN NOON AND 2 pm WITHOUT THE CROSSWALK WALKER-THEY WILL HAVE A FLAG.

Our North County Food Bank (NCFB) needs your help. They need someone to go to bat for them to get the money they were promised to build a new food bank. They must be out of their location in Wheeler in October and have no place to go. Yes, we need someone with big pockets to stand up. If you can’t stand up, maybe you know someone who can. Checks can be sent to the NCFB, PO Box 162, Wheeler, Oregon, 97141. We will be raising money for the NCFB on this coming Saturday at the protest. We will have some flags for sale. The 4×6″cotton flags are on sale for $2.00 and we have a dozen of the 12×18″ which are $8.00. Please bring exact change. First come first serve on the flags. If we sell all the flags, we expect to make $384. Yes, a drop in the bucket, but a start. If you want to pay more, please do. All money will go to our NCFB. And please bring some food. We are looking for canned or boxed foods to give to the food bank. Cereals, canned meats, tomatoes, snacks for kids, whatever you can give is appreciated. Pleased stay tuned into the Food Bank so we can keep our community healthy. We are most thankful for your help with our Food Bank. We will have boxes for all the food you bring.

Will there be counter protesters there? Perhaps. We don’t know. We are protesting and they are protesting. What WE don’t want to do is engage them-just turn around and WALK AWAY. Yes, we are a peaceful protest and do not want any confrontations. Find that person in the orange vest and buddy up with them. If you have any problems being at this PROTEST, bring a buddy and stick together. Tie yourselves together if you feel comfortable doing that. I must say I personally feel “intimidated” going to a protest-once I am there, I am fine. I am not I anymore, it is we. I am focused on wanting us to rid ourselves of President Trump. I am mad about the January 6th rioters who were released. I am mad about the Republicans giving President Trump a green light. You know about the green lights that are cutting off our citizens from government programs. Without these programs many will suffer and/or die. And on and on it goes. I am sure each of you has something you might lose.

Bring your water, your sunscreen, dress in layers, if you have a sign bring it, bring your neighbors, email this to 25 of your friends.

Have a safe 4th of July!

Let us keep this event peaceful and productive. The following is from the group Invisible:

 Be joyful! Indivisible has always been committed to nonviolent action.

 Ignore or walk away from hecklers/instigators/counter protesters

 Don’t Engage with hostile individuals

 Keep/create a safe distance from instigators or issues

 Stick together and use the buddy system

 Video and document all issues and report to event organizers (they will be wearing bright vests)

 Follow directions from event organizers (they will be wearing bright vests).

Thanks,
Patty

How is it we can live in our county for years and have someone buy a vacant property near you and cause utter chaos and possible major property damage by not following ordinances that have been on the books for 40 years? We live in an Hillside Overlay zone area, where specific and important ordinances
( and all over our state and country) need to be followed to prevent major landslide/hillside destabilization. How can people come in from another state and buy property and start majorly cutting down trees all the way up a very steep 200- foot slope jeopardizing houses above, as well as below? How can people not have a building permit approved, but yet cut healthy, beautiful 100-year old trees down? Our city website clearly says, that no trees can be cut from a hillside overlay zone PRIOR to a building permit, aside from brush clearing for surveying purposes. Last year, we had a river of muddy water wash onto our property from rain runoff which went directly down the street and eventually into the bay. Currently, in Kings County, Washington, there is a major lawsuit brought on by the county suing landowners for clearing trees without a permit. This is not what I want to see here in Tillamook County. Why does it have to come to this?

Some rules “on this books” are archaic and silly, I get it. But who helps in this situation? The situation is urgent, and cities, I know are running on tight budgets. What happens if insurance companies get drift of this and cancel our insurance? Does anyone have any insight? Have you experienced anything like this?
