The Kinks Were Right–Paranoia Will Destroy Ya!
by loretta.kim.rosenberg@gmail.com

“Everybody that I know who doesn’t live in Portland is convinced we burned it to the ground in 2020. That it’s some sort of nightmarish hellscape that looks like Mad Max, only with rain.” PSU Associate Professor of Sociology and expert on policing Aaron Rousell from Street Roots August 21, 2024.

Portland is not on fire. Portland is not war torn. Portland is a big city with all the problems a big city has—homelessness, drugs, crime. I was born and lived there or near enough for most of my life. Before NW 23rd was fancy and a one bedroom apartment near Good Sam cost $225 a month, you could work a regular job and live a regular life. There were still plenty of drugs around just different ones and way more violent crime than there is now. The crime rate has actually been steadily falling in Portland since 2020 so what’s the emergency that necessitates sending National Guard troops to American cities like Portland?

According to the Constitution there are only certain instances when a president is supposed to use the National Guard to police a city and none of these conditions exist in the cities where troops are being sent. There’s a good explanation of when, how and why a president can use the National Guard in a 2/28/2025 Substack article by Cyrus Javadi. It was reposted on the Pioneer’s website.

The ICE facility is on one block in the city of Portland. So the Guard is being deployed to protect one block and it’s estimated to cost $3.8 million dollars, which doesn’t count food and lodging.

Your technology knows what you like to read and what gets you clicking. The more we click the worse we usually feel because nobody is just looking at kitten videos these days. We’re a fearful bunch. We love us some bad news and a good conspiracy theory that reenforces whatever our beliefs are, so if you have a deep seated fear of people who are not like you, your technology will give you more of the same to feed that fear. If you believe Democrats or Republicans are the Antichrist or the Antifa you’ll get all the clickbait on the interwebs to keep you busy believing. The people with the power know that. They know that division serves them. They use fear as a tool and a distraction. Now that AI can replicate reality and there are few adults in the room to call a lie a lie, people are struggling to figure what’s real and what’s not.

I have a lot of friends in Portland and one of them is Ed, a retired attorney who happens to live near enough to the ICE facility in Portland’s south Waterfront to walk there on his 83 year old legs. He’s made it a practice to stop by and talk with the people protesting for the past three months. He’s not afraid and nothing bad has happened to him. It’s usually a group of about 30 people although it can be more. The other residents he’s talked with are more concerned about federal agents and National Guard troops encouraged to use “full force” than they are about the citizens protesting, as well they should be. Because when emotions are running hot and the people charged with community policing are not community police, bad things can and do happen.

Here’s an example. On May 4, 1970, the governor of Ohio called in the National Guard to intervene at Kent State where students were protesting the US invasion of Cambodia. When students didn’t disperse, Guardsmen advanced and opened fire on unarmed students killing 4 in a matter of thirteen seconds.

There are real things to be afraid of right now—hospitals closing, safety net programs shut down, masked ICE agents detaining undocumented people without criminal records, deportation to third countries without due process, domestic military action by a Department of War, the chilling of free speech. I could go on but you get the idea.

I can’t remember where I read this or who said it but it struck a chord for me—America is the home of the brave and the land of the free and sometimes you have to be brave to be free.

Hello Again,

Just a reminder of the Protest in Nehalem on October 4th, Saturday, from noon to 2 PM. Come when you can and stay as long as you like. This looks like a very busy weekend for local events.

The North County Resistance group organizes these peaceful protests to advocate for positive change in our community, promoting justice, equity, and neighborly support. We invite all community members—both regular participants and newcomers—to join us in making a meaningful impact together.

Bring your signs, your chairs, your positive attitude, and a couple of cans of food for our local North County Food Bank. And yes, checks and cash are greatly appreciated. We generally have someone from the Food Bank at the Protest, and they take the food to Wheeler every Tuesday morning.

The North County Resistance group would appreciate everyone attending these Protests to know it is our intention to keep all our activities safe, peaceful, and orderly. You will see some people wearing orange vests at the Protests. If there is any problem, you should contact these people and let them solve the problem. North County Resistance does this to keep everyone safe. We want you to be calm and stay calm—and be a team player when you come to protest. Please listen to the people in the orange vests. They may ask you to not cross the road in the middle of Hwy. 101 but to please use the crosswalk—simple concept, right? They may ask you to not have your sign too far out onto the highway, which might hamper a driver’s line of vision. Lots of these things are common sense, but if there is a moment when things begin to unravel, please listen to the people in orange vests. No, we have not had anything unravel at these Protests. We may practice on this coming Saturday to see what we might need to work on for the BIG NO KINGS event on October 18, in Manzanita.

We need more volunteers to serve as Marshalls at the October event—these team members play a vital role in keeping everyone safe and organized. If you’re interested in helping out, please contact me, Patty, at 503-368-6081 or speak with me at Saturday’s protest. Your support makes a real difference!

The website below is all about Safety at the Protests. Thanks very much for listening.

Join us Saturday, October 4 at 10 am for Tillamook County’s version of “Civic Saturdays” with Jim Heffernan hosting. The sermons explore new and better ways to be a citizen. They are aimed at developing “citizenship muscle. We will need “muscle” to bring power back to “We the People”, where it belongs. Each sermon functions as a stand-alone sermon. Don’t worry about missing earlier sessions.
This week’s sermon , number 14 of 19, is “Become America” and is 41 minutes long. Eric Liu talks changing ourselves and changing America through the agencies of memory, motives, and make-overs. We can talk about the sermon afterwards, or not.
Sermon was first given on March 31, 2018, but, sadly, nothing has changed in the last seven years.

Here is a place that could use the guard, Dawson Park. Drugs. murder. Because of Oregon’s woke legislative problem, PPB’s hands are tied, repeat offenders, and hard-drugs that are still all but legal, not enforced.

www.koin.com/news/portland/residents-near-dawson-park-demand-more-resources-to-reduce-violence/

But in my view, this troop deployment is about Drumf and Fox News Pete, Secretary of Treason, doing the bidding oil, bomb-makers, and bankers, also known as the military industrial complex.

Drumf and Pete are about to attack Venezuela and Iran (for Israel), with an escalation of NATOs war against Russian waiting in wings. That’s the most likely reason the guard is being sent to Wokeland in my view, as the city is quite quiet other than woke-legislative street crime problem.

Again, if extreme violence shows up, look to Soros agitators and traitorous J6-type feds. Anitfa punks too, but 100% antifa is infiltrated by J6-traitorous fed-types.

Most genuine antifa are pathetic punks, and the right knows this.

Yesterday, Drumf wrote on his Lies Social acct:

“We’re only going in because, as American Patriots, WE HAVE NO CHOICE. LAW AND ORDER MUST PREVAIL IN OUR CITIES, AND EVERYWHERE ELSE!”

THE PRESIDENT LIES!!!!!!!!!!! GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!! FASCIST REGIME!!!!!!!!!

EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN!!!!!!!!!!!

LAW AND ORDER MY ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Epstein is a Drumf problem, but actually more of a democrat problem: Clinton, gates, Chomsky, New Mexico gov Ricchardson, and Senate Intel head Wyden runs cover with his limited hang-out Epstein ;investigations’ that he seems to have dropped.)

GAZA GAZA GAZA GAZ GAZA!!!!!!!!!!!! (WAR CRIMES/GENOCIDE). LAW AND ORDER MY ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Also a two-party problem)

BOMBED IRAN?????? TREASON TREASON TREASON!!!!!!!! LAW AND ORDER MY ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



STARTING A WAR WITH VENEZUELA????? TREASON TREASON TREASON!!!!!! LAW AND ORDER MY ASS!!!!!!!!!!

all linked by….Israel. just sayin.

HEY DRUMF! GO BUILD YOUR 200-million dollar ballroom and get the hell out of Oregon you anti-American fake-christian MAGA FRAUD!!!!!!!!!

And to the Oregon National Guard members! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!!! SORRY IT’S TAKING THIS FORM!!!!!!

We all know you would rather be home in Medford or wherever with your families, awaiting an actual emergency, which is why ya’ll signed up in the first place.

Anyway, thank you, and I hope you can enjoy our food carts and strip clubs, they are world-class!

Time and time again those who have a public voice fail to consider Trump’s character and focus. To effectively deal with his troop deployments we must understand what he needs from them.

And that is video “talking points” he can use in his war of rhetoric. He wants graphic evidence of resistance and violence. He is manipulating us by setting up emotionally charged situations between citizens and law enforcement.

State leaders who rightly insist there is no need for federal intervention will be undercut by those who take the bait and provide exactly what this mostly performative president wants.

Protesters should adopt a block party approach by bringing refreshments (non-alcoholic), celebrating peacefully, and staying out of the way. Let their signs do the talking and rejoice in resisting Trump’s un-American tactics.

Total City Hall Project Cost $5,922,852. That is the conclusion of the City Manager’s presentation which omitted inconvenient costs that would complicate the “under budget” mantra that City officials have adopted to distract us from what the actual total cost is.

The above cost excluded the purchase of the Underhill property even though that was the only reason given by the City in 2017 to justify spending almost two million dollars for the purchase and loan cost. Despite not including the land as a project cost, the City Manager attempted to justify the Underhill purchase by comparing an empty lot currently for sale on Laneda for $129 a square foot. Raising this comparison begs some further explanation. Why did the City sell the same sized old City Hall property which is up the street from the aforementioned $129 per square foot example to the contractor who built City Hall for what appears to be a fire sale price for both the land and the “uninhabitable” building for approximately $67 per square foot?

The City Hall project was a capital construction project and as such is entitled to be reimbursed for the administrative efforts of City Hall staff. These indirect costs that City officials charge our Water Operating Fund and justify as responsible accounting were also omitted as a project cost. Utilizing the Water Operating Fund indirect cost methodology employed to reimburse City Hall staff for the administrative support tasks that they provided for the City Hall project over the past three years adds approximately $435,000 to the total cost. (Note) This figure acknowledges that City staff were not responsible for processing monthly payroll for contractors of the project and has been accordingly reduced to reflect this fact.

Despite being substantially built with borrowed money, City officials are unsure what the financing costs to repay those construction funds over the next 20 years are so they will not not be considered as part of the total project cost. What is known is that the current City Budget contains loan repayments for this fiscal year alone for the Underhill property and City Hall construction that total $37,500 per month. Based on the best available information, the 20 year loan interest costs for construction of City Hall alone will total approximately $1.85 million.

Actual Total Project Cost: Approximately $10.2 million.

When presented with the opportunity to give a clear accounting of the total cost of this project based on the decisions, City Budget figures and current accounting practices of our City officials, we get a report that lacks both accounting credibility and common sense. City officials would have us believe that this project involved nothing more than the cost of designing and building a structure and those costs ended with the ribbon cutting.

As this Council celebrates and attempts to dismiss any further explanations on the real cost of the City Hall project, they will pivot to the pressing needs to generate new sources of revenue for City services. Businesses should prepare for the prospect of a food tax and a new monthly street fee for residents on their water bills as the Council resurrects its Revenue Diversification efforts. What businesses and residents will actually experience is Revenue Confiscation to support General Fund services.

It took 75 years from Manzanita’s incorporation as a City for annual expenditures to provide General Fund services to reach $2.5 million in 2021. Just four years later, this year’s Budget for those same services requires $6.7 million annually and includes the largest repayment of long term debt in the City’s history.

The City is discovering that maintaining and providing City services for a year round visitor destination with a foundation built on short term rentals is an expensive undertaking. Higher property taxes and water rates, hiring more employees to administer the growing number of short term rentals and new fees and taxes for residents to subsidize the impact that visitors have on City infrastructure. Amid these facts, City officials seek to reassure residents that thanks to those visitors, community livability has never been better. Moving forward, they appear committed to confiscating and spending whatever it takes to ensure that the quality of life for residents keeps pace with the costs of government because $6.7 million dollars just does not go far these days.

There’s a fine line between fleecing and skinning. I’m not sure City officials grasp the significance of the distinction but residents are feeling the pain.

See, Drumf is making the left look great! Some hilarious jokes below, from individuals I mostly disagree with. And they got me laughing this morning!

Drumf is 4 years too late. In 2020, Pelosi and Wheeler cheered on the extremely violent protesters. Drumf did NOT send in the guard then, just like he failed to secure our border in term one.

Why Portland now?

I bought my Vanilla Ice CD at Music Millennium, and I will roll down to the 50-foot ‘war zone’ on Thursday and blast some Vanilla, with a big smile on my face.

If things do escalate in the days to come, from outside Soros-agitators or traitorous J6-type feds, let’s at least make sure this doesn’t happen again:



www.thefallofminneapolis.com/

And if George did in fact overdose (he did), it would be more proper to blame his death on open-border Democrats than Chauvin. Or Drumf’s open border during term one, a place and time where it WOULD have been appropriate to send in The National Guard. One could at least argue that the drugs coming across the open-border ruined George Floyd’s life.

Anyway, here is some funny!

Another possibility is Drumf and the CIA/FBI are getting ready for major riots in Portland in response to their planned treasonous wars with Venezuela (which should be starting any day now) and Russia.

Fox News host Pete, Secretary of Treason, just met with 800 military leaders. I think we all know why.

As someone who was in the Portland streets daily protesting after Dubya and Dick invaded Iraq on behalf of Bibi’s Greater Israel project, which came after those same criminals flew airplanes into and then blew-up WTC bldgs #1 and #2, and then blew-up WTC #7, my view is that actual Portlanders will indeed get very aggressive protesting those wars. I will likely join them, even though the lot of ‘em totally dropped the ball on ‘covid’ and George Floyd, who died of an overdose and was NOT killed by Chauvin.

So maybe Drumf and the CIA/FBI are getting ahead of all that with this deployment.

Still, in that event, be aware of Soros-funded non-Portland residents being shipped in to cause major violence AND those treasonous J6 feds like Ray Epps.

Anyway, jut thinking and sharing.

Here is a link about Drumf and Pete’s treasonous war they are starting with Venezuela:

Dear Protesters,

Thank you to everyone who joined us last week in Nehalem—your energy and commitment make a real difference, and new faces are always welcome!

The North County Resistance Group will meet again this Saturday in the Nehalem City Parking Lot from noon to 2:00 PM. Join us to make your voice heard, connect with fellow community members, and help shape our community’s future. Bring your signs, a chair, and a positive attitude; stay as long as you like. After a few days of much-needed rain, we’re hopeful for sunny weather next Saturday.

Together, we are working to restore law and order to our National Government by advocating for transparent policies and supporting local initiatives that protect democratic values. By gathering, we not only defend our own freedom of speech but also stand up for the rights of those around us.

Our commitment to our local food bank remains strong. Please put that food in your car right now so you don’t forget it. Non-perishable foods, check, and cash are always welcome, and they go right to our North County Food Bank. Congratulations to those who made it possible for the food bank to take up space next door to their current location while their building is being built. And a big thank you to all the donors in our community who keep the food bank going.

We will have more information about the “No Kings” protest coming up in October. Again, we need 8-10 people to help us set up and with the safety and security issues.

Best,

PORTLAND NEEDED THE NATIONAL GUARD DESPERATELY IN 2020.

Portland does not need them now.

As such, Drumf is making Kotek look really, really good.

And that sucks.

In my view, she is handling this moment, which is actually just a CIA/Drumf marketing ploy (Epstein who?? GAZA City what??) very maturely and professionally, characteristics I feel compelled to point out, as American politics is awash with Drumfs and AOCs.

Not being a fan of Kotek, I’m wondering why Drumf’s team (CIA) has chosen to make her look good. VP for Gruesome Newsome maybe?

If Fox News commentator Pete, now Secretary of TREASONOUS WAR (look up the legal definition of treason), is planning to fight a WAR IN PORTLAND, he better bring a lot of Soros-funded agitators and treasonous J6 alum FBI traitors to have his ‘war’ with, cuz ain’t nothing happening at the Macadam Ave, small, detention facility.

Kotek, PPB and local ICE absolutely got the facility protests under control over the summer. There may be more arrests, but absence Soros/fed agitators, local ICE and PPB have it totally handled.

I drove the though the 50-foot WAR ZONE in my taxi. THERE WERE PROTESTORS!!!!!! THERE WAS ICE!!!!!!! THERE WAS PPB!!!!!! and it was all cool.

There was a military helicopter circling the small facility at about 1,500 feet, and that was not necessary at all, but it was provocative. Thanks Drumf and your new FOX NEWS commentator secretary of WAR, you are helping Oregon oh so much!!!!



EPSTEIN WHO???????

GAZA CITY WHAT????????

Pretty sure no arrests last night?

Glad I wasn’t in Gaza tho…

So if something flares up, look to Soros and the CIA.

That’s my take.

Trump has said Portland is war-ravged zone and needs Federal troops.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek responded, “There is no national security threat in Portland. Our communities are safe and calm. I ask Oregonians to stay calm and enjoy a beautiful fall day.”

We let the facts speak for themselves …

Multiple law enforcement personnel have been injured during the recent Portland ICE riots.

• Nearby residents have been assaulted

• 3 independent journalists have been assaulted.

• The nearby school has closed due to the riots.

• Police are unable to enforce open law breaking that is going on nightly.

• Residents nearby cannot open their windows because of both the tear gas used as riot control and also the large volume of smoke bombs used by protesters.

• Local shops are losing business as the riots damage windows and chase away customers.

• Anti-ICE Protesters shut down Portland Mayor’s recent public speech and forced him to leave the area. Free speech is being attacked in public.

• Law enforcement officials have had their names, addresses and family photos of family members posted online.

• Rioters zip-tied the ICE office doors and then tried to set fires upon the building.

Looks like it’s gonna be quite the eventful and entertaining winter driving my taxi in Wokeland! Woot Woot!



Actually, this looks to me like a Drumf-marketing nothing-burger.

The Portland ICE (The agency used to be called INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service), but Dubya/Cheney/CIA changed the name to the scary/sexy ICE!!!!!!) detention facility is small and has been around and underutilized or a long time. It is on MaCadam Ave, next to a Tesla dealership. You can’t make this up. I drove by in the cab a few days ago, nothing at all was going on, and my Portland passenger didn’t even know that is where the facility was located.

So yeah, nothing-burger from Drumf.

If ICE (shivers………..!!!!!!!!) does a bunch of provocative stuff with Drumf’s CIA, maybe ‘protesters’ will show up again.

If they do, I promise I will drive my taxi down there and wave and smile to the ICE agents AND the protestors, BLASTING the song linked below!!!!!!! Because if you’re not having fun, what’s the point???

And just like Charlie Kirk who was realizing we are all one, and just like Malcom who was realizing that we are all one, I will attempt to bridge the divide!

And Google was started at the CIA and Eric Schmidt is another anti-christ CIA/fascist character just like Thiel.

That said, I cannot think of a big video-sharing platform the isn’t run by/controlled by CIA/fascist-types.

And bless all of those who couldn’t stomach another minute of a Biden/Harris regime, who then put some hope in MAGA, and now realizes that Drumf is just as bad as Biden.

If only the do-no-wrong Dems would have a similar reaction about the lying, war-making, no border, globalist anti-American con artists they STILL support: Hillary, Kamala, Bill, Barak, Joe, Wyden, etc.

And I also want to point out that there are two MAGAs as I see it:

There is MAGA the fake, anti-American brand co-opted by anti-American Drumf and his criminal associates.

And then there folks who actually love this country, believe in the Constitution, would love to see another 1776, who actually want to Make America Great Again, something republicans AND democrats seem unable to accomplish.

Finally, I think Dixie is a great example for all of us: it’s okay to apologize when we are wrong! Thanks Dixie!!!

What happens when the conservative politics you believed in becomes unrecognizable?

What happens when the Oregon House representative you supported leaves the GOP because he saw that they only use their office to be performative for other performers?

What happens when your believed Elon Musk/DOGE would transform the US Government in 90 days, but then turned out to be accelerationist vandals)?

What happens when you’re a farmer and watch your rotting soybeans get evicted from the local grain elevator, unsold?

What happens when you believe you’re a “good” hispanic and it turns out MAGA hates you anyway?

What happens when it begins to look like ANTI-FAscist may actually be a form of self-preservation?

By now, we’ve seen a thousand of these “what happens when” scenarios, many falling under the heading of “FAFO.”

It’s not surprising then that locally we see frequent anarchic/conservative BBQ posters taking up a more eccentric and conspiratorial outlook.

There’s Dixie Darrow’s latest attack of her fellow community members for being “BBQ Marchers” for free speech —a demeaning simplification—while she herself points to the wisdom of Vladimir Putin’s messianic/slavic imperialist mentor, Aleksandr Dugin.

And dear Andy now points at so many distinct oppressive conspiracies that you need a spreadsheet running on a AI-ready 16-core gaming PC just to keep track of them all. He declares Peter Thiel to be fascist but then (apparently) spends a lot of his screen time looking at and sharing content from Thiel’s apocalyptic version of YouTube, rumble.com.

The dawn-of-realization phase of MAGA’s profound failure is going to be turbulent. And local folks will still be there regardless, somewhere along Highway 101, protesting.

This little beauty should be called “Love Bug” because she absolutely loves to cuddle and be held. Bug will jump up on any available lap for a petting session and will often reach up to your neck for a hug. She longs for the warmth of human love and attention. 

Her most favorite thing is to be held in your arms so she can drape her paws over a shoulder and lay her head against your chest and just purrrrrrrr.  She also has the softest, most silken fur you can imagine.

Bug would do best as an only kitty with someone home for her most all the day and happy for a cuddly bedmate at night.  To learn more, please visit unitedpaws.org or email unitedpawsapps@gmail.com.
