Welcome to this font of expression!

Thank you for visiting my homepage. As a long-time indepenent investigator and former candidate for public office, I know the power to create a better world is in our collective hands.

There are many under-reported successes and many unappreciated wordviews to check out as our mutual understanding of the world grows.

Open-mindedness is the best asset as we distinguish between enforced opinion and genuine insight.

Please be your own best skeptic and explore the issues presented with all the faculties and resources at your disposal.

So what will Harmony do when the nice Government clamps down the martial law while we have no defense? Who will protect one's family from [controlled] gangs or whatever can be manipulated like another managed conflict that we happen to have much "national karma" in imposing everyhwhere else?

Dealing with the whole gun control thing in a place like Arcata is very interesting, because "conspiracies" are not allowed in the media venues, therefore applying a remedy to the person who can't handle his piece or alcohol or car, PARTICULARLY, isn't much integrated into the "safety versus freedom" dialectic. Instead, the actions of some are allowed, in order to control against the freedom of all (the presumed innocent). Yet even the "safety" parameter is not evenly applied...so get a clue.

My main point is that the community gets quite biased emotional input regarding the gun control thing. And the outcomes of thought are constricted accordingly. I would think that more people more educated on the machinations of "civil conflict" as used for Occupation and invasion, would cause more to know that ultimately you defend yourself, especially from your "own" government. And, you ultimately are the final judge (Citizen's Conscience).

The elites think the 1st Amendment is more dangerous to them than the 2nd. How many of our community have studied information regarding "fully informed jurors"...that in our true common Constitutional Law heritage, law is judged by the citizen in the situation. Juries are legally capable of finding the fact of a charge true, while nullifying the sentencing rules. This is American Revolutionary tradition, and how we peacefully began standing up to the British with less violence...you know, non-cooperation, something about Ghandi and Lech and Chile and our very near future "United we stand" Ameri(k)a. Why is this not taught in our schools, our universities? So the debate is already skewed by..."education", media, and...let's throw out all deterence to the ugly fascism blossoming upon our land.

This is the absurdity of what was supposed to be a Constitutional Republic. We are socked under these unConstitutional rules by which "they" can deny the spirit of Law by manipulating the letter. They have no business telling us we are proscribed...as long as we don't violate the basic rights.

Do I hear over-regulation?! These are excuses and good politicians don't buck excuses! You don't get it people!

Thomas Jefferson is rolling in his grave, but he remembers to say happy Independence Day! (Especially since the Declaration of Independence he wrote was actually ratified on this day in 1776.) So do the Iriquois if the 'white man thing' stops one from seeing the gist of the message.

If I were a Councilman, I would organize a way for an "informal" "straw vote" with polling booths around town. We would see what the probable formal majority would say, take into account the trolls and apathetics, and then simply move Council to vote it in.

If there are "legal problems" with doing that then I would make a publicity about interference with our rightful self-government, and network, and try to get on talk shows such as Rense and whomever. This is if Council wouldn't discuss and vote on it the way I think it wise, which would be a balance between what I think and what I think my constituents would want. That is the role of a Representative who is supposed to be more studied and capable of government than the people who are busy concentrating on other things in their lives, such as making money (pun intended, see Federal Reserve ownership info.).

The Byzintine legalities have got to go; this is one of the reasons the Americans of the 17 states passed the first 13th Amendment banning Titles of Nobilities from citizenship: they were pissed off at the lawyers who many perceived, and rightly so, were working for the banksters. That got passed by the 13th State, Virginia, after the burning of Washington D.C. (along with many incriminating and informative documents and books) during the War of 1812 that interrupted the process.

Basically, Titles of Nobilities are any privilege that says you can compete in the free market but Joe over there may not. We have free choice to choose who we want to lawyer, doctor, or teach us. Period. And because we do NOT have freedom to do so we have been royally screwed.

Why does it have to take so much work to do anything in even local government? Only the shadow knows but Common Sense says something we probably won't here in the controlled venues of Arcata media. Or YOUR local and independent media (if you don't think this is relevant to your village out there!).

Since Friday, June 26, this work of art has become a dominant phenomenon in American politics. Absurd efforts by reactionary groups to block access have only spurred the greatest support in history for a documentary film.

While Michael Moore is right to focus on the business connections of Bush & Co., he may be missing the boat on which foreign power is most responsible for 9/11 and the Iraq war...

Jane Allen of San Francisco submitted the following response to a Times-Standard editorial and has given permission to reprint:

Your editorial states that there are no problems with Humboldt County elections. If you will read the April 16, 2004 report to the Secretary of State prepared by R&G Associates, you will see that Humboldt County does have potential problems:

"The precinct count optical scan equipment and firmware is federally qualified but is not State certified. The central count optical scan equipment and firmware is not federally qualified or State certified. The DRE equipment and firmware is not federally qualified and is State certified; however, records to date are unable to verify if the version number that is being used is the version that was certified."

A summary of this report is online.

The entire R&G audit report for the 41 non-Diebold counties is online as well.
