Daisy is a beautiful tan and black tabby with a luxurious white chest & belly. Her
greenish yellow eyes are rimmed in black, which complement her black-tipped nose.
Daisy was rescued by United Paws after being found exhausted, starving and heavily
pregnant. Although she was barely a kitten herself, Daisy gave birth to seven healthy kittens.
She also generously nursed another orphaned kitten when she first arrived in foster care. The
kittens are now fully raised and Daisy is ready to find a loving, forever home of her own.
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.

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?

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.

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 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!

Not To Be

The Light of America

For June 14, 2025

Commander of treason,
high crimes and misdemeanors,
anyone can see
you have turned away,
abandoned the light of America.
Standing together,
we will uphold the law
and not “just let you do it.”
Holding you accountable,
justice will return.
Taken down and behind bars,
you can heal what is broken
or go down failing
in your own mad bunker,
as the light of America returns.

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.

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.”

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

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.

Read the article. How much can you disagree with.
