Dispelling Misinformation

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Hello Commissioner Bell!
While I appreciate that that the library endeavors to take privacy seriously and sees it as a core value, these cameras are at odds with those ideals.

It may be the intent of the library to only use this camera system for security, but it has chosen a method that is very intrusive to do so. The library director and senior librarians may be community members of unimpeachable virtue who would never abuse their roles, but there are no such assurances from the third party vendors involved in the transmission, storage, and analysis of the video data from the cameras. You should not provide with a panopticon into our community.

If the library has security concerns, then closed-circuit cameras recording to on-site tapes, drives, or memory would be sufficient to maintain a visual record for the county’s purposes.

There are undoubtedly clauses in the end user license agreements that will allow the data from these cameras to be used for almost any purpose desired. Once they are turned on, you no longer control what happens to them. How many people work for the company that handle the cameras? What are their hiring practices like? What cybersecurity protocols do they have in place? What contracts do they have to sell your data on for further profit once they have it in their system?

What arrangements do they have with law enforcement or other government agencies that have not been disclosed to you? These may sound like hyperbolic concerns but there are many credible reports of corporate and government abuses. Some

Almost everyone reading this will have received notification that their personal information has been compromised because of a data breach from a hotel, or a social media site, or a department store, or a phone company. Why would the library want to put themselves in a position where they might be sending such a notification to their patrons?

Thank you for your time,

Also worth scanning if you don’t remember the shocking extent of CS gas use in Portland of 2020 is this article: “Tear Gas Tuesday in Downtown Portland”

Nobody is above the law!

First of all, SCOTUS declared the incumbent president above the law, so at least one person in the US is above the law.

A search of recent news gets many results echoing claims made in this recent post to BBQ. However all of the sources cited in the search results are either obscure or social media (in other words, it’s gone viral). Certainly at least one, if not all, well known news sources would report on such an explosive story. Instead nothing, so I thought this post was worth a fact check, and I found one by “Tech ARP” with the following reporting. Make of it what you will. Here are relevant excerpts:

“Some people are claiming or suggesting that 7 states have filed criminal referrals against Anthony Fauci and other top officials for COVID crimes. Some even claim that those states are calling for, or even pursuing, criminal charges against Fauci and other officials!”

“Let me start by pointing out that the criminal referrals against Dr. Anthony Fauci, and other top officials involved in the US COVID-19 pandemic response, were not filed by any state, never mind 7 of them.

Instead, they appear to have been filed by the Vires Law Group, which appears to be a South Florida-based law firm that specialises in civil litigation.

Anyone can file a criminal complaint, or a criminal referral, with the police or any US district attorney. You don’t even have to be a lawyer, or law firm, to do that.”

“It appears that the Vires Law Group has filed multiple criminal referrals since at least 2023, but despite their prolific efforts, no attorney general or district attorney in the United States has ever filed criminal charges against Dr. Anthony Fauci, or as far as I can tell – anyone else on the list either.”

“On the other hand, a coalition of 17 state attorneys general led by South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson say that they’re investigating Dr. Fauci’s role in the US government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, after President Biden gave him a blanket pardon.”

“Notably, those 17 state attorneys general still have not filed criminal charges against Dr. Fauci, as of 11 April 2025. That usually indicates they have not found “violations of state laws“, or they would have taken “appropriate action to ensure justice is served.“

In addition, this investigation by those state attorneys general appear to be limited to Dr. Fauci, and does not involve any of the other people mentioned in the criminal referrals by the Vires Law Group.”

Hand’s Off!

File this post in your ‘why Trump won’ file.
The link below deals with a MALE SEX-OFFENDER who posed as a 15-YR. OLD HIGH SCHOOL GIRL and tried to register for classes in a Portland public school.  The crazies at KGW make no mention of the FACT that this is a MAN.  They say this is a WOMAN posing as a GIRL. (You can’t make this woke sh*t up)
I’m not sure who is more insane, the news anchors ‘reporting’ this with straight faces or the MALE SEX-OFFENDER pretending to be a 15 yr. old girl.
As a whole, as a culture, Portland fuels the flames of this anti-science insanity. From ‘covid’ to big farma hormone shots for children, science and common sense are tossed out the window in Wokeland.
For example, before being allowed into a Portland hospital last year, I was asked what my gender was. I am obviously a man. I answered ‘woman’. I’m not sure which gender the woke droid wrote on her paper, but I hope she didn’t misgender me! I was identifying as a woman that day, and all women are to be believed!
I went to an eye appointment two months ago, walked into the office and the receptionist asked if I was Jamal. I answered, ‘Do I look like Jamal?’ (I am obviously white) Then for my ‘preferred language’ I wrote Swahili. Sadly, nobody spoke Swahili to me while I was there.
My favorite example is the “MY BODY MY CHOICE” abortion-advocate crowd. When folks like me who wouldn’t shoot the ‘covid’ mRNA-frankenjunk started saying ‘MY BODY MY CHOICE’ those well-principled abortion advocates stood right by our sides and agreed that the gov’t had no right to tell us what to do with our bodies! OH WAIT!!!! That’s NOT WHAT HAPPENED AT ALL! Instead, the abortion-advocates ABANDONED THAT PRINCIPLE!!!!!!!!!! YOU WILL NOT SEE “MY BODY MY CHOICE” signs from NARAL or whomever at pro-abortion events anymore, because THAT CROWD HAS ZERO PRINCIPALS, evidenced by their prompt abandonment of a human’s right to individual bodily autonomy during the viral release and engineered shutdown from Musk/Fauci/Gates/CIA/Rothschilds.
The crazy goes on: I have a friend who is a private investigator in Portland. She interviews sex offenders, rapists, murderers etc., is in high demand, etc. She also does extensive background checks, and applied for a gig with the Multnomah County Sheriff Department to do background checks on applicants. The man and woman who interviewed her were obviously a man and a woman. Like super obvious. The woketards in county gov’t MADE IT A RULE THAT THEY MUST USE THEIR PRONOUNS WHEN DOING INTERVIEWS. Yup, this male and female longtime multco sheriff dept employees were mandated to introduce themselves with their pronouns by the cooks in county gov’t. My PI friend thought it was a joke, that there must be a hidden camera somewhere. She did NOT use her pronouns as she is OBVIOUSLY A WOMAN. If these woke folk could throw us in jail for misgendering them and for not using pronouns they sure as hell would. These pronoun folks in county gov’t who did the above are authoritarian fascists, as defined in a post on this site weeks back.
Back to trans: I am in contact with trans folks daily when in Wokeland; at ATT, Safeway, the bank, Starbucks. There are LOTS of trans folks pouring in from all over the country.  And most are very, very nice people.  Perhaps a bit neurotic, as that crowd (still) loves wearing splash-guard surgical masks (that don’t stop viral transmission) in higher numbers than the average citizen, but overall the trans folks I come in contact with are very, very nice people.
And the ‘reporting’ from KGW below does NOT help their cause; nor does allowing men to play in girls sports help the trans cause. It only causes division as it is insanely UNFAIR and against Title 9 to demand that CONFUSED MEN COMPETE WITH GIRLS. (Funny how trans folks have yet to penetrate college womens basketball and softball. I wonder why that is? Because there is TOO MUCH MONEY INVOLVED, so they target girls high school sports and collegiate girls sports that don’t make much money for the skools and networks, like swimming and track.
The whole trans craziness is actually a divide and conquer operation in my view, and the banksters and tech bros pushing it care as much about trans folks as Bud Light does Dylan Mulvaney. And the entire trans insanity does NOT do any good to gays and lesbians, and many in those communities who are honest will tell you that they hate getting caught up in the trans stuff. That’s been a thing for decades actually.
That the percentage of ‘gay’ high schoolers has gone from 10% or whatever to 30% or whatever is not a naturally occurring event in my view, but an ‘algorythym plant’ if you will; essentially they are products of a well-planned mind-control operation run mostly via social media, coming to them via the cell phones they willingly carry everywhere.
Anyway, file this post in your WHY TRUMP WON file. Most Americans prefer to live in reality.
Here is the ‘woman’ posing as a girl   (Trans-cult members: “This is a woman damnit!  And you better not MISGENDER this sex-offending child-predator! For that is the true crime in all of this don’t ya know!”)
www.kgw.com/article/news/crime/albany-woman-sentenced-posed-as-teen/283-120968a8-463e-4579-8367-e472758990b1
In my view, this world would be a better place if all of the folks at the “Hand’s Off” protests… Hey, wait a minute! Where was a HANDS OFF protest during the ‘covid’ fascism under Biden? Nope, when Dems are in power those blinded by blue QUICKLY TURN INTO FASCISTS, as we saw with ‘covid’, and they demanded that we let them put their fascistic HANDS ALL OVER THOSE OF US who elected not to shoot mRNA frankenjunk from Musk’s bigtechfarma friends, saw that masks don’t work and rightly refused to wear them, and who opposed them masking our children at skool for months and months (SHAME ON YA’LL BIG TIME FOR SCREWING WITH THE CHILDREN) etc. etc. etc.
Below is a great article on how societal mind-control works, a la Brave New World and 1984, just as we saw it during the reign of whomever was running the Biden admin, because every honest American knows Joe and his auto-pen were NOT MAKING ANY DECISIONS. (It was Clinton/Obama/Blinken/Netanyahu/Mossad/Rothschilds/CIA).
Can Trump and Musk use this mechanism for their own societal mind-control/perception-of-reality-control? Absolutely! But it you don’t take the time to see how “Biden” used it on you, you won’ see it when Trump and Musk are doing the same.
Wanna turn 30% of an entire generation of children gay or trans? Wanna do some other type of societal-control/mind-control/perception-control/reality-control? Do what the billionaires do:

Thanks for the rugs!

We love this community!

The Food Bank has enough rugs for now. We picked up rugs from all over the valley and delivered them today. We met the goal in less than 24 hours. Thank you all so much!

Folks, all your local food banks and pantries will be working hard to fill the gaps left by federal budget cuts. We know that nobody should be hungry in America, and we will be doing our absolute best to maintain levels of service. The latest budget cut suspended a program that buys from American farmers and distributes the food to regional food banks, including Oregon Food Bank, which then passes on food to both North County Food Bank and Nehalem Bay Community Services. If you have extra food (less than 3 years out of date is fine for most canned goods), please consider passing it on to:

Concerns

I was wrong to say there would be multiple ballots in ranked choice voting. There was a segment on Fox 12 news this morning simulating the method with candy. Simpler to follow than the explanation I saw earlier, it showed how ballots would be recounted – after eliminating a candidate with the lowest votes – using the second choice from ballots that were counted for the eliminated candidate. Rinse and repeat until one candidate has a majority of votes. So the counting process would be more difficult, but there would be only one ballot.

So I offer a much simpler example: Suppose there were 3 candidates for president and each voter was tasked with choosing from Harris, Trump, and RFK Jr.
Also for simplicity suppose there were only 1000 voters. If the first count showed 499 votes for Harris, 498 votes for Trump, and 3 votes for RFK Jr. then the process would eliminate RFK Jr. and count the second choice from those 3 ballots. That second choice could very well be for Trump, and the result would be 499 votes for Harris, and 501 votes for Trump. Trump would be declared the winner.

While that’s unlikely here in Oregon, the point is adding all this complexity leaves us vulnerable to political manipulation well beyond our understanding. We don’t need this. What we do need is more public forums to better understand what our politicians are doing and why.

Reply to Concerns about lies in the Oregon Voter Pamphlet

Strategic omissions are another common misleading tactic in politics. I noticed with this measure 117 the plan will require multiple ballots to settle one issue or determine one winner. That is not apparent to the casual voter. It would add a lot of cost to each election.

Shutting Down Small Farms in Oregon

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: genedieken@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
First off, I’m very much in favor of small farm and animal operations producing high-quality food and thriving. The recent story (1) featured by OPB Radio about a small producer caught up short by existing water rights laws on the books for more than a century is sad and I hope there’s some compromise available.

Generally, water rights are vastly complicated and probably do need periodic refurbishment.

Here’s what scares me about this issue: Once you’ve gone beyond a certain point of being unmindful about water use and abuse, it’s too late and there’s no going back.

I grew up in Iowa, consistently the number one or two ag producer in the U.S. Over the last 50 years the industrialization of farming, repeated boom-bust cycles, mind-boggling federal subsidies, vast use of chemicals, huge build-out of CAFOs (2), and right-wing governance have created a disaster that’s hard to comprehend. Flanked by the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, Iowa has a vast network of creeks and rivers. All but a few dozen miles are now poisoned with nitrates (as is much groundwater) and the state has the second-highest cancer rate in the country.

“Well, that’s the Midwest!” you say. We’re luckier or maybe just late to the game. The nitrate problems in Umatilla & Morrow Counties (3) are quite similar to Iowa.

Nader should have been elected president

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: yuiqwe1@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
When Ralph Nader recognized he had no chance of winning the honorable thing to do would have been to choke down his immense ego and thrown his support behind Gore which would have ensured a Gore win. Nader then would have had great influence in probably two Gore administrations, instead he faded into oblivion. What a different world we would have had with Gore as president and Nader perhaps in his cabinet instead of GW, Cheney and Rumsfeld! We now have a true nut job in RFK Jr running as an independent. If he helps Trump win he will displace Nader as the most harmful spoiler in history.
