FROM KGW:

“States learned on June 13 that HHS had transferred Medicaid data for millions of people to DHS. Rayfield’s office said they’re aware of reports that the federal government plans to use this data to fuel mass deportations and other immigration enforcement activities.”

In my view, the deportations ARE NOT the main reason Drumf and Elon wanted (and got) all of Oregonians health data.

Elon and Drumf do not care about folks living here unlawfully. In fact, Drumf is the nation’s number one beneficiary of Dems illegal open borders policy. The deportations, to Drumf and co., are just smoke and mirrors for even more sinister plans that will affect EVERYONE LIVING IN OREGON, legally or otherwise.

In my view, dems fueled Drumf’s draconian deportation effort when they violated the will of the majority of Americans and broke our laws, and disrespected our nation’s sovereignty, when they intentionally encouraged folks to illegally cross our borders and enter our country illegally. It is now those whom they encouraged to come that are suffering the most.

Little did open-border dems know, perhaps, that they were doing the bidding of Elon-esque billionaires and Donald Drumf, both of whom love open borders more than the Democrats, though for other reasons.

Why do Elon and Drumf love open borders more than Democrats? Please continue reading.

“This is a sad day for our democracy and a scary day for millions of people,” said the coalition of plaintiffs including American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees; the American Federation of Teachers; and the Alliance for Retired Americans, who are represented by Democracy Forward.
“This ruling will enable President Trump and DOGE’s affiliates to steal Americans’ private and personal data,” they said, while vowing to “use every legal tool at our disposal” to prevent the misuse of public data as the case moves forward.”

From Kathleen Fitts’ Solari Report:

“Based on detailed reporting by WIRED magazine, it appears that significant federal data are being privatized on the “just do it” method, presumably through Musk’s Xai and its partnership with Palantir. There is also a push for digitizing federal systems and records and updating systems. DOGE is focusing on agencies that handle high-quality payment data for most or all Americans, including Social Security, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and Treasury. These are some of the agencies whose data would be most appropriate for implementing programmable money with a social credit system.”

THE PLAN OF ELON AND DRUMF AND BLACKROCK IS TO INSTITUTE A SOCIAL CREDIT SYSTEM AS IS CURRENTLY IN PLACE IN CHINA

THIS WILL MEAN THAT IF YOU ARE NOT UP TO THE SPECS PROGRAMMED INTO MUSK AND PALANTIR’S A.I. SYSTEM, THEIR A.I. SYSTEM WILL CUT YOU OFF LIKE HAPPENED TO THE TRUCKERS IN CANADA WHEN THE DRIVERS REFUSED TO INJECT GATE’S AND PFIZER’S MRNA-GENE THERAPY SHOTS:


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

Implementing their A.I. payment system is only one reason why Drumf and Elon and Palantir and Blackock just got a hold of all of Oregonian’s health data.

“To build a digital control grid, digital IDs must link with programmable money and interoperable systems across multiple platforms (banks, credit cards, online payment systems), which can be integrated with social credit and surveillance systems. The data capacity required for an all-digital monetary system combined with programmable money and a social credit system is significant, as are the related energy demands.”

(NOTE THE VEILED REFERENCE TO ‘REAL ID’??)


The health data will also give them info for the implementation of this:

“Stargate LLC (Data Centers and AI)
The Stargate initiative involves the building out of data centers sufficient to support a complete control grid and all-digital monetary system.”

“The Stargate proposal for personalized mRNA “vaccines” for cancer (and everything else) indicates a plan to roll out the injection program sufficient to implement the Internet of Bodies and continue to lower life expectancy. Stargate funding also helps support the ongoing global rollout of “mega” vaccine factories. It is not clear how Musk’s desire through Neuralink to insert mesh networks inside human brains fits in, as it appears that injections can get the system most if not all of the way to where it wants to go—and it is much easier to market injections that are “good” for you.”

DID YOU READ THAT?? NO LONGER ANY NEED FOR MUSK’S NEURALNK: NANO-TECH AND METALS IN THE SHOTS (AND FROM STRATEGIC AEROSOL INJECTIONS OVER OUR HEADS IN THE SKY, and NANO-TECH PUT IN OUR FOOD) CAN ACCOMPLISH THE SAME THING!

(My health advice? Cleanse metals from your body asap and well into the future. Know your farmer. Stay away from processed foods, especially all that ‘plant-based’ processed frankenfood, and anything from Kroger, Kraft, etc.

Make no mistake about it, these tech billionaires are megalomaniacal psychopaths whose religion is ‘trans humanism”. They fully intend to enslave Oregonians further while REDUCING OUR POPULATION as THEY start living for 150 years old or longer. The lab-engineered bank-engineered ’covid’ scam was a beta test for all this stuff. We need to get ready to: “Carry Our Vaccine IDs” (COVID). The pathogen they engineered was an avian flu/ SARS virus. There is no such pathogen called “covid”.

These psychopaths love their hidden meanings, like DOGE:

“Doge refers to the chief magistrate in the republics of Venice and Genoa, a title used during the medieval and early modern periods. This historical usage highlights the word’s roots in European political systems, where the Doge served as a leader figure in these maritime republics.”

I highly recommend ANYONE IN OREGON POLITICS TO IMMEDIATELY READ as much as you can of Kathleen Fitts work at the Solari Report, she’s right over the target.

Wyden and Merkeley know all of this stuff; and they don’t care, they love big tech and their own power more than they love you.

Our daughter is a funeral director at a Portland mortuary that is working with the families of two girls, age 12 and 15, killed in an accident on 101 last week when a car “drifted” into the oncoming traffic, leading to a three-car accident.

This is not the first time in the past couple of months where a driver crossed the center line on 101 or 26, leading to fatal accidents. These were not teenage drivers and no mention of alcohol has been reported. What causes lucid, mature drivers to cross the center line in broad daylight? Could it be texting or cell phone use? Seems like a reasonable guess.

Don’t text and drive! Please put your phone down to drive. Keep your attention focused on the road. Your life or the life of someone’s son or daughter may depend on it.

Elon’s planned A.I. takeover of Oregon

Submitted By: bigbeach@gmx.com – Click to email about this post
Big Tech’s planned A.I. takeover of Oregon
Lfelley hit the nail on the head with her recent post. In my view, she brings up the most anti-American and anti-human move Drumf and his billionaire big-tech bros Elon and Theil and Karp have attempted to make yet.
The lies of what DOGE is really about also play into this. Make no mistake about it, Elon is behind this A.I. takeover with his buddy Peter Thiel of Palantir.
Many in Oregon have already bought Elon’ Teslas – THE A.I. control-grid car of the future.
Did you know Elon can turn Teslas on and off whenever he wants? Did you know Elon can air-drop updates into HIS Teslas (he owns the software, owners only own the plastic and metal) at any time?
From Lfelley:
“Trump’s budget would ban states from implementing AI safeguards — a dangerous proposal that only helps Big Tech companies.”
MTG, a true MAGA republican, is the only member of the House who is shedding light on this.
“Full transparency, I did not know about this section … that strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years,” Greene posted on X, formerly Twitter. “I am adamantly OPPOSED to this and it is a violation of state rights and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there.”
www.fox5atlanta.com/news/mtg-says-again-she-will-oppose-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-over-ai-provision
After 10 years of A.I. being implemented by Elon and Palantir, there will be no turning back. The bill may as well say ‘forever’.
Game will be over if this goes through. Mark Hatfield’s Oregon will be dead once and for all.
Sadly, after watching Oregon’s Congressional members (and our governor, and thousands of local officials, on both sides of the aisle) fully cave when Drumf and Fauci simply told them to shut down our economy, mask our children at school, and encouraged everyone including pregnant mothers to shoot Big Farma’s mRNA gene-therapy that he lied about and called a vaccine, I have little hope that Oregon’ elected officials will do anything to combat Big Tech’s AI takeover in Oregon.
The mRNA gene-therapy shots will also play into this A.I. takeover as Elon plans an ‘internet of bodies’ where ‘surveillance goes under the skin.”
Oregon’s out of touch elected-leaders LOVE Silicon Valley. They bend over backwards for them everyday. And I don’t think they are not very smart people when confronted by the evils of these billionaires, partly evidenced by the ‘covid’ response mentioned above.
DOGE is only pretending to reel in Woke. DOGE is only pretending to save money. DOGE stokes the divide and conquer flames by pointing out stuff like the 1.5 million being spent by USAID on pro-trans programs in Serbia, etc., but the real purpose of DOGE is so Elon can feed payment info to Palantir and Blackrock for their upcoming planned A.I.-powered dissolution of cash.
This is why Elon just made Oregon give him all of our state health care data. It was NOT about purging those living here unlawfully from federally-funded medical programs, and thereby saving money. It was about obtaining payment info for Oregonians for his upcoming A.I.-dissolution of cash program, sanctioned by Drumf and operated by Palantir and Blackrock.
The dissolution of cash digital-money scam they want to implement (Elon and Blackrock will be in charge of the programmable/surveillable digital payment system – it is NOT currency) is just one of the ways the big tech billionaires seek to use A.I. to re-shape Oregon in a way that reduces our freedom and our humanity while they consolidate power and make even more billions. Giving away Oregonian’s jobs to their A.I. system is also part of their plan.
If Oregon is not allowed to control Elon’s A.I., he will have free reign over our state, blessed by Drumf.
Again, sadly, Merkely and Wyden are all about this A.I. takeover in Oregon, and I doubt any Dems in the House or at the state level have even thought about what LFelley wrote.
Thanks for bringing this up on BBQ LFelley!! Maybe you will get the attention of some of our elected officials, maybe folks will rise-up against this, but it needs to happen ASAP.
Today’s planned protest in Manzanita would be a great place to start shedding light on this Oregon-ending A.I. legislation.

The Federal Reconciliation bill

Submitted By: lfelley@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
The proposed bill would severely hurt our rural medical facilities by taking medicaid funds. Susan Bonamici says,”
The local hospital and clinic leaders I met with were clear: Oregon’s hospitals and clinics are already struggling financially, and the GOP’s cuts would force them to stop providing some services, reduce staff, and, especially with smaller rural facilities, even close their doors. People still get sick when they don’t have insurance, but too often they go without preventive or primary care. This leads to worsening health conditions and overcrowding of emergency rooms”

Trump’s budget would ban states from implementing AI safeguards — a dangerous proposal that only helps Big Tech companies.

It FORCES the government to sell off millions of acres of our public Arctic land for oil and gas development, allowing big corporations to run roughshod over sacred Native lands, critical wildlife preserves, and pristine wilderness.

Another provision would strip power from federal judges to hold Trump admin officials accountable for defying court orders.

The House bill could add anywhere from $3.8 trillion to $5.3 trillion to the deficit over a decade, while the Senate version could potentially cost even more.

Please call your seanators and representatives to vote no on this bill!
Thank you!

Oregon HB2025

Submitted By: dwieb1@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Here’s a little history on Oregon’s gas tax:

www.koin.com/news/oregon/105-years-of-the-gas-tax-getting-oregon-out-of-mud/

With delayed road repair in the state, and increasing traffic as well as vehicle weight heading up, funds to maintain and improve road infrastructure are needed. Doesn’t look like demand is ever going down.

Still, HB2025 faces much resistance and may not pass. If it does then some lawmakers vow to refer it to voters. I do like parts of the bill: for personal vehicles the per-mile-tax formerly proposed for everyone would only apply to EVs and certain other battery-assisted cars. And I like that the 2%-1% sales tax doesn’t apply to vehicles under $10k. Many of the fee increases seem excessive, until they are compared to the overall expense of owning a car or truck. A lot of them may not have increased in a long time so it’s coming eventually. There’s still no fees I’m aware of for traction tires, which cause tremendous wear and tear on roadways.

WITH NO VOTE FROM THE PEOPLE

Submitted By: dixiegainer@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Oregon Democrats Greenlight Largest Tax Hike Ever With No Vote From the People. As grocery prices remain sky-high and job losses continue across Oregon, Democratic lawmakers have pushed forward with what is shaping up to be the largest tax increase in state history — and they’re doing it without giving voters a voice.
House Bill 2025, a sweeping transportation package, is expected to raise nearly $2 billion per year by 2034, totaling $14.6 billion over the next decade through gas taxes, vehicle fees, and mileage-based charges. The plan was rushed through legislative committees and advanced without ever being put to a public vote — despite its unprecedented scale and impact.
Critics say Oregonians have been shut out of the process entirely, with public hearings held before any actual revenue estimates were made public. And now that the numbers are in, many are shocked.
“We are facing dire economic times,” said Sen. Mark Meek, a Democrat from Gladstone who was removed from a key committee for opposing the bill. “It’s not affordable to Oregonians.”HB 2025 increases the gas tax by 15 cents per gallon, imposes a 2% sales tax on new cars and 1% on used vehicles over $10,000, and creates a new mileage-based fee for electric and hybrid vehicles. It also raises registration, title, and licensing fees, and institutes commercial delivery surcharges — all while many Oregonians are just trying to keep food on the table.
The timing and scale of the plan have sparked backlash from both Republicans and moderate Democrats, many of whom say it is wildly out of step with the economic reality most families are facing.
“There’s a lot of folks being laid off right now,” Meek added. “We need to be very cautious of putting more burden on our families at these trying times.”
At least two Democrats — Meek and Rep. Paul Evans of Monmouth — have publicly broken ranks, calling the bill rushed, poorly balanced, and lacking necessary oversight. Meanwhile, Republicans are already organizing to send the bill to voters, with a political action committee raising nearly $200,000 in just days to force the public vote lawmakers avoided.
“This is out of touch for everyday Oregonians,” said House Minority Leader Christine Drazan. “I will support efforts to refer this outrageous tax package to the voters.”

PROTEST RALLY IN NEHALEM, SATURDAY

Submitted By: pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
A protest is scheduled in Downtown Nehalem on Saturday, June 28th from noon to 2 PM. The weather will be improved this week compared to last. While global events continue, the situation is still unresolved, but there is hope for a sustained cease-fire. Diplomatic efforts are vital in these negotiations.

Last week, a significant amount of food was collected for the North Tillamook County Food Bank (NTCFB). It is important to continue this initiative. Donating items like canned food, boxed macaroni, canned meats, cereals, or other non-perishable goods is encouraged. More information can be found on their website www.northtillamookcountyfoodbank.org. Donations can also be sent to NTCFB, PO Box 162, Wheeler, Oregon, 97147. The phone number at the food bank is 503-368-7724, where you can leave a message. Boxes for donations will be available in Nehalem during the protest.

The protest aims to be peaceful. Avoid engaging with harassers. No negative incidents have been reported in Nehalem or Manzanita protests. Attend with a positive attitude.

It may be warm on Saturday, so dressing in layers is suggested due to the possibility of cool winds. Participants are recommended to bring a chair, a flag, a sign, and invite others to join. Communicating with others about the protest is important to ensure participation. Speak up and speak out to your friends and neighbors.

Thank you to everyone involved in whatever way you can be.

Best regards,

Patty

GENERAL INTEREST ,HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

Submitted By: tevisdiii@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The gist of the article linked below is that the United States Of America, it’s people, have allowed themselves to be deluded by material comfort and the belief that we have been participating in a democratic system, presenting ourselves as exceptional bearers of the torch of freedom when the hard historical facts show that right from the beginning, our nation has pursued Empire, above and beneath all else. It has left a bloody trail and sown seeds which have been decades coming to fruition and now, we need to honestly look in the mirror and see what we have become in the eyes of the world.

Power hungry hounds leapt ahead as industry rolled into the twentieth century and by the end of the world wars, empire had gone electric, presenting itself as the world leader, showcasing itself as THE model of representative democracy while installing a grid of military bases and business friendly autocrats around the globe and now, here we are, just like so many empires before; crumbling from within for being abandoned, and rebellion from without by those who were shackled by either the pen or the bullet.

Red or blue, it hasn’t mattered. Greed and avarice will wear any coat that works, and all of us, to varying degrees, participate, knowingly or not.

Movie: Targeting Iran

Submitted By: bigbeach@gmx.com – Click to email about this post
Many in MAGA do not understand why the Iranians stormed the American embassy in Iran in the 70’s, yet they are still citing that event as a reason to go to war with Iran.

The CIA used the American embassy for ops when they overthrew the Swedish-educated democratically-elected fiercely capitalist Mosedegh in 1953. All Mosedegh wanted was a bigger cut of IRANIAN OIL, 25% I think. British Petroleum, who built much of the oil field infrastructure thought that too high, so the CIA and M16 overthrew Mosedegh and installed The Shah, a brutal dictator whose family Israel and Trump want to put back in power.

The CIA was still using the embassy as a base for ops in the 70s, the Iranians found out and stormed the embassy. I would do the same thing stateside if that happened here.

This and much more is addressed in my feature documentary Targeting Iran, which largely came about after Chuck McLaughlin of this website brought the author of Targeting Iran the book to the NCRD during his book tour. I met him and made the film with financing from an Egyptian/Australian whose family started the New Wafd Party in Egypt as well as the Bank of Cairo, before they were exiled from the country.

Anit-war film Targeting Iran: rumble.com/v650oqa-targeting-iran.html

It’s vey encouraging to see good anti-war Christians like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Steve Bannon, Dave Smith, Russel Brand, JP Sears all giving Trump serious hell for even considering attacking Iran, a country that poses zero threat to our national security.

Two days ago DNI Tulsi Gabbard, who’s appointment I cheered, opined that Iran DOES NOT have a nuclear weapons program. Trump simply said “I don’t believe her.”

MAGA needs to keep the pressure on Trump to stay the hell out of Iran.

A little history:

In 1953, the CIA and British intelligence orchestrated a coup d’etat that toppled the democratically elected government of Iran. The government of Mohammad Mossadegh. The aftershocks of the coup are still being felt. This was the first time that our government interfered in another countries government. We do it all the time today. Regime change it is called and in my opinion, this is very wrong and causes lots of problems everywhere that effects he world in a negative way. We are the ones instrumental in putting the religious extremists in control of Iran. What we did ended up replacing a modern government with the religious extremists in today’s Iran.
So now a war will ‘fix” things? How many people killed?

Invite to Virtual Raffle

Submitted By: kat4house@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hi all,

I would like to invite everyone to a special virtual raffle fundraiser that starts tomorrow and goes to the 27th. Proceeds go towards the operational cost of a podcast that raises awareness around sexual exploitation and pushes for social change and stronger social security, especially for vulnerable women. You can see all items here: redlightexpose.betterworld.org

In many big cities across the globe, but even and especially here in the US, more young women are turning to the sex industry as an answer to the cost of living and housing crisis. Our podcast “Red Light Expose” in addition to many other issues, aims to solve the underlying problems that put people, overwhelmingly women, into desperate positions, and a society that blindly allows it. Many of the hosts are longtime survivors of the sex industry themselves and speak from experience. We also draw on the expertise of various academics and researchers from around the globe.

If you’re interested in listening to the podcast, it will be a new monthly show on XRAY FM 91.7 Nehalem every 1st Friday at 1 PM, starting July.

Attached also shares about a livestream event tomorrow that will kick off the raffle. Join us if you’d like!

Thank you.

Defending Integrity, Fairness In Women’s Sports

Submitted By: dixiegainer@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
Earlier this month in Oregon, House Republicans took decisive action to protect the integrity of women’s sports, locker rooms, and bathrooms. House Bill 2037, designed to ensure that only females compete in women’s athletics and have access to intimate spaces, was brought to a vote. Despite heartfelt testimonies from young female athletes advocating for fairness, the bill was unfortunately defeated along party lines, with every Democrat Legislator opposing the bill.
The battle for fairness in women’s sports is far from over. Female athletes deserve a level playing field—one where their hard work, dedication, and dreams are honored. It is unacceptable for girls and women to be forced into unfair competitions or uncomfortable situations in their own locker rooms.
While the vote was disappointing, House Republicans remain committed to defending the rights of female athletes and ensuring that girls have the opportunity to compete in a fair and protected environment. We will continue this fight—for fairness, for opportunity, and for the future of women’s sports.
Honoring Courageous Women. I had the honor of welcoming Reese Eckard, Maddie Eichen, and their moms to the Capitol. Reese, an accomplished athlete at Sherwood High School and second oldest of 7, has been high jumping since 5th grade and placed 4th at the Oregon State track and field championships last week. Reese is also one of the brave young women quietly, confidently, and respectfully taking a stand for fairness in women’s sports. At the championships, she refused to stand on the podium with a male athlete who unfairly competed with females.
Reese, thank you for your courage, for standing up for the truth and Title IX, the federal law meant to protect you from this discrimination. I understand you’re stepping up to ensure your two younger sisters have their rightful chance to compete fairly in sports. I commend you for your stand for fairness in women’s sports. Thank you for giving me the honor of recognizing you!

Obama: sensible immigration

Submitted By: bigbeach@gmx.com – Click to email about this post
Historic footage of Obama talking about folks illegally crossing our border and living here illegally:

What happened to this sensibility during the last four years of unprecedented illegal immigration surging across our border?

Here is Biden ENCOURAGING folks to ILLEGALLY surge across our border. I say this was an impeachable offense:, and a HUGE reason Trump won:

And then BIden’s denial: (note WH reporter pool, six-feet apart and wearing masks. We now know that was a psyop from the CDC/Big Farma/Big Banks, not science.)

And now we have all this nasty deportation stuff that most of us KNEW WAS GONNA HAPPEN. THE IMMIGRANTS ARE GUINEA PIGS. THERE WAS NO COMPASSION INVOLVED WHEN THE BIDEN ADMIN LET THEM VIOLATE OUR BORDER! ENCOURAGED THEM TO “SURGE THE BORDER” EVEN. THE ELITE DEMS WORK WITH THEIR ELITE GOP FRIENDS TO DO THE BIDDING OF THE CIA-crowd, who in turn do the bidding of the billionaire class/bankers; THEY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE MIGRANTS. THEY ARE PAWNS TO THEM!

And here is long-form on how Biden’s Homeland security dept., American NGOs, and Israeli NGOs worked to funnel millions of illegals through the treacherous jungle known as The Darien Gap in Panama and then illegally into America:

SUPER DUPER IMPORTANT BONUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

And here is another angle on why the billionaires opened our borders as part of their divide and conquer operation (which is very much working). Other than the depressed wages that benefit the Koch Bros. types (chicken farms, etc.), this seems to be at the core of this issue for the super elite:

Wherever one stands on the issue, it must be admitted that if we had our borders CLOSED like an actual sovereign country, if we only allowed legal immigration as per the law, we wouldn’t be in this nasty mess.
