Mask mandates have returned
That was TSA leaked info. The plan for “pandemic number two” includes, of course, all sectors of our increasingly pathetic society.
And here we go again…
The time between ‘conspiracy theory’ and reality is now three days:
and
and more booster$ of cour$e:
www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-administration-urge-americans-get-new-covid-19-boosters-2023-08-20/
Are we going to let the mass-murderers at the CDC get away with killing more of our children? Will anyone in state and county government stand up with me and tell the feds and our VAXXED BIG TECH BIG PHARMA WHORE OF A GOVERNOR to shove their mask mandates up their arrogant, narcissist, idiot a**es? That we are done standing by while you criminals abuse our children with mask mandates and zoom ‘learning’? That we are done watching you child-abusing creeps demand our children shoot Big Techs experimental mRNA-tech (that they don’t fuc**ing need AT ALL) if they want to go to school with their friends? That if they don’t they have to stay home and ‘zoom’, then slit their wrists like so many children did last time we gave in to these masters of medical tyranny?
The politicians running Oregon (state/county) don’t give a sh@t about us or our children. We learned that last time around. Or at least some of us did.
All Oregon pols want is the adoration of their Big Tech priests and the DNC brass, and to keep a tight hold on their illusion of power. We don’t matter to them; our children don’t matter to them.
Are we going to let another Oregon governor do this to us and our children again? Are we gonna cow down like a bunch of beaten pansies and let Mary Faith Bell and the rest of the county cowards damage our children’s lives even more?
Who’s gonna join me and fight back this time?
Anyone?
Anyone at all??
(don’t email me, just start fighting back, you have a lot more power then you think)
All the Bills We Have Not Seen
All the Bills We Have Not Seen
At the August 9 City Council meeting, Council President Kozlowski updated the community about the proposed Council Retreat with the mediation lawyer that was to take place in September. A few things got in the way of setting a date—first off, it’s hard to make plans to get a bunch of busy people together; second, Councilor Jenna Edginton resigned so waiting until a new councilor is appointed makes sense, and third, the investigation that was announced at a special session on June 14, 2023 is not yet complete and must be in order to move forward with mediation at the retreat.
Rumors and conspiracies about the investigation abound but unless we can see a summary of the findings, the public only knows a few things.
The investigation was announced at the June 14, Special Session. If you sneezed you missed it, so I’ve transcribed it here:
Council President Kozlowski: The City Attorney is in receipt of a complaint from an employee and council has evaluated potential responses, I’d like a motion to move to the next step.
Councilor Mayerle: I move that the city engage through the City Attorney an investigator to conduct a privileged investigation of allegations made in an employee complaint and recently received by the City Attorney’s office.
Councilor Mayerle also moved that Councilors Kozlowski and Spegman be the members to work with the City Attorney during the investigation. So, we know that shortly before the June 14 meeting there was an employee complaint and that it was serious enough to require an independent investigation and that it must be complete before the mediated retreat can take place.
The City of Manzanita’s Rules of Procedure isn’t a long document at 28 pages. It’s not difficult to understand or laden with jargon or legalese like so many government documents are. It’s a pretty straight forward guide to the rules of city government and the way things are supposed to be done for all the players involved—councilors, mayor, city manager, citizens.
Chapter 10—Interactions with Staff and City Attorney isn’t even a page long, but it gives guidance to council. It also clarifies the rules of city government for the community. If you wonder about how things work like I do, it’s required reading.
Most of this page-long chapter is about how council works with the City Manager. Council, which includes the mayor, “shall respect the separation between the Council’s role and the City Manager’s responsibility by:
A. Not interfering with the day-to-day administration of city business, which is the responsibility of the City Manager.
B. Refraining from actions that would undermine the authority of the City Manager or a department head.
There’s a couple of paragraphs about requesting information but that’s it for Section 1.
The next section about the City Attorney is only a sentence long but it’s simple and direct. “Council members may make requests to the city attorney for advice with the concurrence of the majority of the Council” (p 26).
So, before a council member can contact the City Attorney, a majority of council has to agree that there’s a good reason to do so. This protects the city from incurring unnecessary legal bills. It’s a check to make sure that individual councilors or mayors don’t run up bills on the city’s tab for no good reason.
But in early February after less than a month in office, the mayor contacted her personal attorney who then contacted our city attorney starting a chain of events that has now cost the city $30,000, not including the bills for the current investigation and additional legal fees associated. Oh, and while there was always going to be a retreat, it’s now a retreat with a mediation lawyer and I’m betting it’s not going to be cheap.
When the mayor bypassed the rules and called her personal lawyer without talking to anybody on council, she put her personal interests ahead of the city’s and started the meter running on legal bills the city will have to pay. Before the phone call in February there was no executive session, no employee complaint, no investigation, no bills. Nada.
What does a reasonable person do a month into a volunteer gig that maybe wasn’t going the way they anticipated? Do they call their lawyer? Why? If there was a city problem, wouldn’t they talk to their colleagues on council first and get the approval needed to talk with the City Attorney?
This isn’t the only time the mayor has violated the City’s Rules and Procedures or completely failed to understand her role as mayor.
There were the times she published opinions in the media as the mayor and not as a private citizen.
There was the time she leaked information from the executive session about the city manager’s performance review.
There was the special budget meeting when she clearly didn’t understand where or how policy is made.
There are more instances, but I’m at 913 words. The point is this time the mayor’s disregard for rules and procedures has cost the city a whole lot of cash money.
I’ve heard from a few people who blame the mayor’s lack of experience for her behavior, but that hasn’t been a problem for any other member of council. So, to me it begs the question, at what point do we insist that the people elected to govern follow the rules and laws like the rest of us?

Bring back a local currency
They already have mandated that they have total control of our cars. (connected to internet with government controlled shut-off switch). This is designed to control/stop our future movements cuz ‘climate chaos’.
These lunatics want you to submit to retinal scans to buy toilet paper. These are the nastiest ‘futurist’ banker-fascists who are trying to take cash from us. The more they sugar-coat this totalitarian move, the more you can rest assured the proponents of this are full of sh*t.
“Holden’s plan to phase out cash within three years begins with eliminating $100 notes in the first year and $50 bills in year two. Then it’s about using education and incentives, especially convincing traditional cash users of better options.”

More mask mandates and lockdowns starting September?
“Whistleblowers from the TSA and Border Patrol have raised the alarm that the Biden administration is setting the stage for full Covid lockdowns that will begin with incremental restrictions like masking TSA employees in mid-September.
The first source cited a Tuesday meeting in which TSA managers were told new memorandums & policies were being completed that would reimplement masking, starting with TSA & airport employees as early as mid-September.
The TSA official also said next week they will receive new guidelines on how the policy will escalate: by mid-October, mask-wearing will be required by pilots, flight staff, passengers, and airport patrons.
After hearing from the TSA manager, this source confirmed the same directives were being given to Border Patrol.”
Like I’ve been saying, Covid1984 has just begun.
Get stocked up.

Black Lives Matter worldwide
When I was a senior in high school I went to see Nelson Mandela speak at Yankee Stadium, upon his release from an apartheid-South Africa prison. Harry Belafante was there. Tracy Chapman was there. Richie Havens was there. I remember looking up from the field and seeing Yankee Stadium entirely filled with with black faces, something which never happened before and may never happen again. (There were a few of us whities; our faces imperceptible among the blacks from afar.)
Black Lives Matter Day in Manzanita reminded me of Nelson Mandela the other week.
And I feel obliged to point out what several of my black friends have said; it’s basically what Malcom X says in the link below. One black friend said liberal Boston was the most racist city he ever visited, and I met him in Salt Lake!
Anyway, Malcom:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E55kQfachBQ
And it seems Africa as a whole is getting very sick of ‘liberals’, especially Woke Biden and Woke Macron. Seems some Africans are not so interested in Biden’s ‘equity’ and are willing to go to war to keep the Racist Woke Democrats (Biden’s mentor former Sen. Robert Byrd was a KKK leader) out of Niger and the entire region! How many governments in Africa have Biden and Obama overthrown because “Black Lives Matter”?
Jimmy Door knows:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_YOvbmgrtM
And now…African Malaria is in the United States! Thank you ‘philanthropist’ Bill Gates!
From article:
“The Gates Foundation is heavily invested in the GMO (genetically modified organism) mosquito project, investing more than $30 million in Oxitec. Most of it — more than $20 million — is aimed at U.S. regions.”
and:
“Locally acquired malaria has been nonexistent in the U.S. for the last 20 years. But five such cases have recently been diagnosed — four in Florida and one in Texas — the only two states that have released genetically engineered mosquitoes.”
(Oh Billy Boy, what have you done? Please take your ‘philanthropy’ back to your Seattle end-of-the-world-bunker and leave us the hell alone!)
childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/epa-gmo-mosquitoes-malaria-cola/
As if the malaria-spreading mosquitoes weren’t enough of a warning to us to get this guy in jail ASAP, the Gates funded vax (the ‘covid’ one, not the one with the malaria his genetically-modified mosquitoes are spreading around Texas and Florida), has killed an estimated how many in Europe??
Millions dead (blacks and whites) worldwide from the vax? Millions more with strokes and heart attacks? Could it be true?
John Campbell goes through the numbers, from Eurostat:
rumble.com/v36w5kk-dr.-john-campbell-the-most-vaccinated-countries-are-still-seeing-high-rates.html
And now Biden says we have to work with NATO and France to BOMB Niger why??? Rechargeable batteries for ‘green’ cars, the precious metals to be mined by the slave-children of Niger?? Global warming equity? Tough choice! I sure like driving my Tesla a lot! Elon even put in a button I can push and it will make my car dance to his favorite classical music song!
(Equity is easy: just don’t think about the enslaved black kids mining the precious metals for your Tesla.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to1ngiM-Y0g
Not all are on board with the Woke/War agenda though. Here is some Italian fire! She doesn’t not like Macron, oh no! She also refers to ‘liberal’ ‘progressive’ ‘feminist’ Hillary Clinton overthrowing Libya and installing death squads, which caused a massive humanitarian crisis and saw a massive wave of Libyan migrants to Italy fleeing Hillary’s Libyan hell.
The same thing happened here in North America when Hillary and Barak overthrew Honduras. Not only did the death squads they put in place immediately murder the number one environmental activist in Honduras, Berta Caceras, they caused a massive humanitarian crisis that sent millions of starving Hondurans north to our no-border with Mexico and into Texas and Arizona and California.
Why do so many in Niger want France (NATO) and woke war-criminal Macron out and Russia in?????

I love the black-power fist behind him, holding a spear!!!!! Love it! A genuine symbol of black power, unlike those rapidly-fading trendy corporate/communist ’Black Lives Matter’ fist bumper-stickers white people all over Portland have on the back of their cars.
Yeah, those stickers are fading. Either the company that makes those stickers went out of business, the people of Portland moved on to the trendy “I Support Ukraine” thing, or maybe the people of Portland realized the quadrupled homicide rate (and climbing), and the explosive violence gripping the city, resulted DIRECTLY from the state-sponsored domestic terrorism riots in Portland three summers ago, those riots saw BLM folks (white folks) trying to BURN DOWN THE PORTLAND POLICE STATION EVERY NIGHT FOR AN ENTIRE SUMMER! I was working as a taxi driver at that time, and at the beginning of every 6 AM shift I would drive to 3rd and Madison to see the carnage from the night before. The charred sides of buildings. The trash everywhere. The Graffiti: “Fuck the Police!” “Kill A Cop!” “FUCK12!” This went on, ore or less, until Joe Biden was elected. And the Soros-funded DA let all of these leftist-terrorists get away with their violence against the people of Portland.
No cops died though, some were injured, but hundreds of young black teenage boys have since been murdered in Portland due to the anti-cop (pro-gang) aftermath of the state-sponsored cop-hating Black Lives Matter riots. If the pro-gangster and pro-tweaker Measure 114 goes into effect, even more black kids will be killed.
“Bro, you coming along for the drive-by?”
“No man, I ain’t registered my gun yet.”
Yeah, Measure 114 is gonna work miracles with those sick enough and screwed over by society enough to murder with guns. I can’t wait to see the gangster compliance rates if this ridiculous measure ever goes into effect!

And finally, Ice Cube, front-man for NWA and kick-ass actor, an actor who TURNED DOWN 9 MILLION DOLLARS for an acting roll because the union and studio required actors to shoot the experimental mRNA tech from the criminals who run the CDC and Pfizer if he wanted to be in the film!!!!!! Yeah, he turned down 9 million dollars!!!! (Jamie Foxx took the jab)
Anyway, Ice Cube says to his fellow blacks, STOP VOTING FOR DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!!

When was it HOTTEST in Oregon and the U.S.?
From Dust Bowl article:
“Those conditions occurred in the 1930s, when they exacerbated the woes that farmers were already experiencing because of the wider economy, after two record-breaking heatwaves in 1934 and 1936, which are still the hottest US summers on record.”
++++1934 AND 1936++++
From today’s KGW ‘article’ (aka ‘climate chaos’ fear-porn):
“A July 1941 heat wave currently holds the record of five consecutive days over 100 degrees at PDX.”
++++1941++++
When was it hottest in the US and Oregon???
It was long before Al Gore won an Academy Award for pointing out that the polar ice caps would be disappeared eight years ago:
“Dust bowl conditions in the 1930s wrought devastation across the US agricultural heartlands of the Great Plains, which run through the middle of the continental US stretching from Montana to Texas. The conditions are caused by a combination of heatwaves, drought and farming practices, replacing the native prairie vegetation.
Those conditions occurred in the 1930s, when they exacerbated the woes that farmers were already experiencing because of the wider economy, after two record-breaking heatwaves in 1934 and 1936, which are still the hottest US summers on record.”
++++1934 and 1936++++
The Tillamook Burn was a series of forest fires that occurred in the northern Oregon Coast Range mountains from 1933 to 1951, destroying a total area of 355,000 acres of old growth timber in what is now known as the Tillamook State Forest. There were four wildfires in this series, and the name Tillamook Burn also refers to the location of these fires. The event is an important part of Oregon’s history.
++++1931 to 1952++++
Why is it just about every ‘climate chaos’ solution the billionaires propose takes away our civil rights and enslaves us to the Billionaire Instigators even further?
Can we solve ‘climate chaos’ without infringing on our civil liberties?
Of course we can.
And I am referring to the civil rights of WE common folk. The Billionaire Instigators will not lose any of their civil rights over ‘climate chaos’; they will also never stop flying their private jets and eating the best meats as they lecture us to stay home and eat bugs.

NCRD. My support is over
I acknowledge lashing out inappropriately during the Board meeting on Thursday. I accept being muted, I wasn’t being heard anyway.
My concerns:
A 1.7 million dollar discrepancy of stated ‘donor donations’ when those money actually included Timber revenue. This may not seem like an issue to some and it could jeopardize future grants being funded, if discovered false information is reported.
Another ‘permit’ not retained with a lot of finger pointing as to why. The reason is clear, the NCRD needs to hire an Employer Representative to oversee the pool project. Not one person, including the contractor has ever built a pool or managed a project of this size. This was suggested to the Board 3 years ago via the contractor for the Seaside School Project, he even stated ‘the NCRD has no idea what is going to come at them’. The suggestion was ignored. Interesting that the little Pine Grove project had an Employer Rep? But then Wally B did tell us all that the Board has their own way of doing things….
One funny, someone wrote to the board asking for a skate park be built near the Pickle Ball courts. Jack used good sense this time when he didn’t say what he said when I asked for a skatepark committee be formed 3 years ago which was ‘we’re building them a 10 million dollar pool, they should be grateful”! Good Luck with that skatepark!
The school swim program is 1/3 of what it was.
The NCRD operation tax levy is on the ballot in November. I have lost faith in the NCRD. I will be VOTING NO.
Black Lives Matter!
In honor of the ongoing anti-racism efforts at that intersection, let’s listen to some black folks about NATO and World War Woke, and that ‘vaccine’, shall we?
Wiki:
“Julius Sello Malema (born 3 March 1981) is a South African politician who is a Member of Parliament and the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), a far left-wing party which he founded in 2013.[1][2] He was formerly the President of the African National Congress (ANC) Youth League from 2008 until his expulsion from the party in 2012. Malema became a member of the ANC at the age of nine and was elected president of the ANC Youth League at a controversial party conference in April 2008. He rose to prominence as an outspoken supporter of Jacob Zuma, then the ANC president and later the President of South Africa.”
In this recent talk (link below), Julius Malema points out that NATO destroyed Libya, and that Libya is still in shambles today. (There are once again slave markets in Libya – more of that ‘progressive equity’! The darker blacks get sold to lighter blacks and Saudis, etc.). Libya was overthrown, primarily, by Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton (state dept.) and NATO.
Here is Hillary laughing about Ghadafi being murdered by the death squads she and Barak put into power:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DXDU48RHLU
The hell that followed her sick little laugh continues all over Libya to this very day…
This just in!!!!!
Nigeria now entering the “Ukraine” conflict”??
The corrupt pro-US government in Nigeria was just overthrown by a pro-Russia group! Yay! Get ready for more American troops to go ‘help’ the blacks over in Niger, or at least those blacks that do what Biden and NATO and Pfizer ask of them…screw the rest!
Victoria Nuland, who overthrew the democratically-elected government of Ukraine with the CIA/state dept. etc for Barak Obama in 2014, is here again, getting ready to overthrow Niger…or whatever she’s up to…just keeping busy I guess!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaaPHJiD1us
And finally, Malema’s talk.
Here are some highlights:
“NATO is not a very peaceful organization. You cannot talk peace and NATO in one sentence.”
“What peace did NATO take to Libya? Look at what you did to Libya. Because you were going after one man, you destroyed the whole country.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Npt8aEIMwbE
And finally, Africa is the least vaccinated continent in the world! Around 6% I think? And they have the LEAST amount of VAX INJURY, and the least amount of…’covid’!
Africans are sick of being experimented on by Big Pharma of the West. They are so sick of ‘philanthropist’ Bill Gates experimenting on them. They know the history of medical fascism being inflicted on blacks here in the US by the CDC:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_Syphilis_Study
So yeah, blacks ain’t into the vax so much. And thanks to their skepticism, more blacks are alive in Africa today then if they had listened to Fauci and shot that junk!
Black Lives Matter indeed!!!
NICE JOB AFRICA!!!!

A DOG!
……….Just a dog.
From time to time people tell me “chill out, it’s just a dog” or “it’s a lot of money just for a dog.” They don’t understand the distance traveled, the time invested, or the costs incurred by “just a dog”.
Some of my proudest moments have occurred with “just a dog.”
Many hours have passed being my only company “just a dog”, but not for one moment did I feel despised. Some of my saddest moments have been because of “just a dog,” and on those gray days, the gentle touch of “just a Dog” gave me comfort and the reason to get through the day.
If you also think “it’s just a dog”, then you’ll probably understand phrases like “just a friend”, “just a sunrise” or “just a promise.” “Just a dog” brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust and pure unbridled joy. “Just a dog” brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.
For “just a dog” I will get up early, take long walks and look forward to the future. So for me and people like me, it’s not “just a dog,” but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the memories of the past, and the absolute joy of the moment. “Just a dog” brings out the good in me and takes my thoughts away from myself and daily worries.
I hope one day they can understand that it’s not “just a dog”, but the one that gives me humanity and keeps me from being “just a human.” So the next time you hear the phrase “just a dog”, just smile because they “just don’t get it”.
“Just A Dog,” by Richard A. Animals.

For your bi-weekly dose of James Howard Kunstler’s hawk-eye view of our nations shenanigans on the world stage, his latest bit of word smithing.
I applaud all who contribute to local community through volunteer hours, donations, food, public resources, city planning, health planning, housing planning, expressing opinions, all of that, everything needed to keep our little bubble intact. My reason for offering an occasional Kunstler editorial is to point out the scale of what we are up against when struggling to provide food, shelter and health to our neighbors and ourselves. The MIIC, military-industrial-intelligence-complex, or whatever name we choose to use for the voracious animal that is a hydra of unelected AND elected heads, who have driven our ship of state up on the shoals thrives on divide and pit one against another. Don’t buy it.

Ginger Matyas, Pet Sitter & Walker in Manzanita
I have had the best experiences working with Ginger over the past year and highly recommend her for all your pet-sitting and dog-walking needs! Ginger is incredibly thoughtful, reliable, responsive, and trustworthy. She has worked with us when we needed daily walks for our dog in addition to providing overnight services. I cannot say enough positive things about working with her and hope you will consider her for any upcoming pet needs! Megan Nelson
