Bumfiddler George Marie Port Townsend Rose Theater Letter to the Editor Regarding Reverend Crystal Cox's Ethics Complaint against Mayor David Faber. "the Rev" Responds in Good Ol' Fashioned "Old English" Fun.

 George Marie's Letter to the Editor was Quite Theatrical, not being a Game of Thrones watcher, I had to look up the quote and parties to get the full perspective. 

Turned out the "Her" in Tell HER I DID IT was the One that WON the Proverbial Battle. Hmmm.. Odd Quote to Use when at the End of Scene, the character I am to be seemed to have been better off.

So, anyway, I decided to follow up with some old English words, that one would have to look up to decipher. Enjoy!!! 


In Case you have not read the Queen of the Rose Theater’s Port Townsend letter to the editor, Mea Culpa: Setting the record straight, here is that Taradiddle first.


More Like WHAT A CROCK

“An allegation has moved forward against our mayor alleging that he conspired with an “activist group” to keep anti-trans activists from entering a city council meeting.


In the words of Olenna Tyrell from Game of Thrones,

“Tell her I did it. I want her to know it was me.”


When I discovered that an anti-trans rally was to take place at Pope Marine Park on the day the city council was to offer a proclamation in support of a vulnerable community, I reached out to my vast network of friends, colleagues, neighbors, political leaders, community leaders, teachers, doctors, therapists, business owners and otherwise with a single intent: bring in as many voices of support for the proclamation as possible. We showed up to support our wonderful trans and nonbinary friends, neighbors and community members.


To be clear, I did not conspire with anyone on the city council in this effort. I did ask a city council member — not David Faber — how many people would be allowed into the building for a council meeting.


I was told by the council person that whoever could not attend in person would be able to attend online.


On the day of the event, people began lining up at Port Townsend City Hall hours before the event. While an anti-trans rally proceeded across the street, hundreds came together to form a line around the block, dancing and blowing bubbles, all there to make sure that love outweighed hate and fear.


Of course, I did not do this alone, and neither am I a leader of an “activist group.” I’m just one person who supports the rights of trans and nonbinary people to exist, to make decisions over their own bodies, and to live free from prejudice, discrimination and fear. I know a lot of other people who agree with me, and they also know a lot of people, and it turns out the vast majority of people agree with us.


Love wins.


George Marie

Reverend Crystal Cox’s Response
Warning Brain is Needed LOL

Local Snollygoster uses Pathetic Prevarication to Defend Fopdoodle Mayor.


Bumfiddler George Marie confesses to organizing mob to violate the rights of community elders and rape survivors at a permitted PT event, then brags about. 


The record is crystal clear, city officials prejudiced Julie Jaman and let people they aligned with in the back door of city hall to “fill up” the council chambers. 


Public Records are clear that the origin of the RIOT was Libby Wennstrom, who organized massive people, along with her nonprofit Salish Rescue to shut down women speaking at a permitted event on city property.


George Marie can Yowl Mea Culpa all she wants, she was NOT the Origin. Good to know she used her clout to get professionals in the area to join in a lynch mob against vulnerable community members at a permitted event, essentially saying this is ok for any PT event.

They will now ALL Be Plaintiffs in a pending class action Civil Rights Lawsuit.


If I had the power, clout and vast network of cotswolds such as the Ninnyhammer Queen of the Rose does. I would call up my “colleagues, neighbors, political leaders, community leaders, teachers, doctors, therapists, business owners and otherwise with a single intent: bring in as many voices of support” for human rights, love, safety, and dignity for ALL community members equally. Especially the vulnerable elders and rape survivors.


I went to speak on the values of Pride such as:  Diversity, Authenticity, Supporting and Empowering ALL Community Members, Social Justice, Freedom for ALL, Inclusivity for ALL, Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Empathy and NO Bullying of ANY Community Member. 


Everyone has the right to free speech and the right to not be bullied or discriminated against. 


Jaman deserved equal rights. To me it was not a “trans” issue, it was and is a human rights, dignity, free speech, equality and safety issue.

 

Bullying is defined as a wielding of social power to belittle a person or influence a situation. Jaman was absolutely bullied.


It is not a value of Pride to pick and choose which community member gets rights and which do not. It is not a value of Pride to engage in such a taradiddle that led to real world violence and non stop hate to an Elder in our community and her supporters.


I am Bumfuzzled at the Notion of screaming, threatening, hitting, silencing, bullying, defaming elderly women and rape survivors as “love outweighing hate and fear”.


How does a local Snollygoster decide who gets rights, safety, dignity, love, inclusion and who does not?  George Marie does not get to be the Port Townsend Human Rights Gatekeeper.


There have been many speakers and permitted events in PT that I did not align with what they were saying and I never once thought about yelling at them, running them out of town, assaulting them, bullying them or inviting others to do so.


To me there is not one reason, belief or word Jaman could have said to justify hurting, bullying, berating, defaming, outcasting her, a long time elder in our community. Jaman is to be respected, period.


A permitted event in Port Townsend should be safe for all.


Anyone asking city officials for answers were/are met with prevarication.


The Flumadiddle Mob represented the epitome of prejudice, discrimination and fear. The vast majority does not agree with them.


LOVE has ALREADY WON

Scientists seek to silence sonar in the Salish Sea

"The following open letter was sent today to Governmental and Naval leaders on both sides of the U.S.-Canada border.  As of 3/11/2012 it has been signed by 20 biologists and bioacousticians who have studied the killer whales of the Salish Sea.  (When sent initially, 16 had signed).

To:

The Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence, National Defence Headquarters ( dnd_mdn@forces.gc.ca )
Ray Mabus, Secretary of the Navy ( ray.mabus@navy.mil )
Jane Lubchenco, NOAA Administrator, Office of the Undersecretary, US Department of Commerce ( jane.lubchenco@noaa.gov )
The Honorable Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State, U.S. Department of State ( clintonhr@state.gov )
Subject:

Silence Sonar in the Salish Sea

As biologists and bioacousticians who study killer whales of the Salish Sea, we ask that the U.S. Navy and Canadian Navy cease using sonar in their critical habitat.  

Polluting their environment with intense underwater noise like the “pings” from mid-frequency active sonar poses significant risks to these Federally-listed species.

On February 6, 2012, the Canadian Naval frigate HMCS Ottawa used its sonar system in critical habitat of the endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales during a training exercise east of Victoria, B.C. 

The calls of the Southern Residents’ K and L pods were heard 18 hours later in Haro Strait, and sub-groups of K and L pods were identified 36 hours after the sonar use in Discovery Bay – a location where Southern Residents have never been sighted in 22 years of records. 

These observations are reminiscent of an incident in May, 2003, when the USS Shoup’s sonar training exercise caused similar unusual nearshore surface milling behavior of Southern Residents in Haro Strait.

New limits should be put on the use of mid-frequency active (MFA) sonar, particularly in the critical habitat of the Southern Residents.  

Killer whales are sensitive to the frequencies emitted by MFA sonar (2-10 kHz) and use the same frequency range to communicate with calls and whistles.  Because MFA sonar is intense (source levels ~220-235 underwater decibels), it could permanently or temporarily deafen whales that are unexpectedly nearby and thereby impact their ability to forage, navigate, and socialize. 

Even temporary threshold shifts could be deleterious because the recovery of the Southern Residents hinges on their use of echolocation to find, identify, and acquire their primary prey, Pacific salmon.

Current procedures for mitigating underwater military noise are inadequate to protect either the resident or transient ecotypes. 

These procedures depend on the ability to detect whales within 1000 yards (U.S.) or 4000 yards (Canada), which neither passive acoustic listening nor visual surveillance can reliably accomplish. 

The unprecedented sighting of Southern Residents in Discovery Bay suggests that they may have been present during the pre-dawn sonar exercise on February 6 while remaining undetected by the Canadian Navy’s marine mammal monitoring procedures.  

Moreover, we know from the 2003 Shoup incident and the scientific literature that MFA sonar can disrupt marine mammal behavior well beyond the current mitigation distances, particularly in the sound propagation conditions of the Salish Sea.

We therefore urge the U.S. and Canadian Navies to restrict MFA sonar and other intense underwater sound sources in all training and testing conducted in the Salish Sea.  

By protecting the whales’ acoustic habitat, our Navies can help further their respective country’s obligations to ensure the recovery of these endangered iconic populations while still fulfilling their important National security missions.

Port Townsend Paper, Mineral Technologies Looks Like YOU will be Paying a HUGE Tax for Poisoning US. Paying to POLLUTE.

"I had the opportunity to talk with then Congressman Jay Inslee at length at Netroots Nation 2009 in Pittsburgh. We spent most of that time talking about transitioning to sustainable energy.  He coauthored a book about that very subject and named Apollo's Fire.  I read Inslee's book.  Jay Inslee gets it like few other politicians in this country do.
Today as Governor Inslee proposed a Carbon Charge assessing the state's largest GHG emitters when they exceed set emissions levels to help pay for transportation infrastructure projects, in a time when gas taxes are diminishing due to more efficient vehicles and other factors.
Inslee: Make big polluters pay for transportation projects
By Mike Lindblom
After two years of watching gas-tax increases tank in the Legislature, Gov. Jay Inslee proposed Tuesday to take a new approach: Charge major polluters for the right to emit carbon.
Inslee’s plan, featuring a “cap-and-trade” system, would generate $400 million a year, he said, to cover nearly 40 percent of his $12 billion, 12-year transportation improvement plan. The remainder would come from bond debt, existing gas taxes, tolls and an assortment of vehicle fees.
“We can clean our air and water at the same time we are fixing our air and our roads,” Inslee said in Medina, overlooking the 520 construction site. “It is indeed a twofer.”
Inslee, who is spending the week rolling out his budget wish list, is expected to announce further details about his Carbon Pollution Accountability Act, with his full budget proposal to come Thursday.
What the Democratic governor did make clear Tuesday is that in the face of Republican gains in the Legislature, he is holding fast to his idea that climate-change legislation can pay for much of government’s costs.
The governor said he aims to reach across the so-called Cascade Curtain and connect all of Washington through a “bipartisan spirit” that aims to “reduce the hours we spend on the roads away from our families.”
This program would send energy consumers all the signals to help more toward a more sustainable energy system for the state of Washington.
Taxing carbon is a more in the right direction. Last year Republicans blocked passage of a bill with proposed transportation infrastructure projects."

What will the Port Townsend Paper Mill, Minerals Technology (MTX) do?

Well if the TRUTH is told and their POLLUTION in our air, soil and water is not covered up by the City of Port Townsend, Jefferson County, the Port Townsend Leader, the Washington EPA and the Washington Department of Ecology WELL then they will buying a multi-billion dollar floating bridge for the State of Washington.

However, for now they seem to be getting away with the LIE thanks to Jefferson County Commissioners, the Port Townsend Leader, one or more insiders at the EPA and the Washington Department of Ecology and the City of Port Townsend.

Washington Gov. Proposes Major Carbon Tax To Fund Pressing Transportation Needs

"Inslee hopes to fund the $12 billion plan with bonds, fees and a carbon charge on the state's industrial polluters. The market-based carbon pollution charge will generate $7 billion over 12 years, he said. The fee will generate the equivalent of a 12 cent gas tax without hurting consumers, he said."

"All of this can be done with "a new and bold idea that will breathe new life" into the state - the polluter's fee, he said.

"We can clean our air and water at the same time we are fixing our air and our roads," he said. "It is indeed a two-for."

Enforce the LAW. 

Tax PT Paper Heavily. 

Force them to OBEY the LAW. 

Sue them, file criminal charges where it applies. As Governor Inslee said last night on the News, Clean Air is the LAW. Not just the right thing to do. It is the LAW.

The Port Townsend Paper Mill is Clearly Violating Washington Laws on Carbon aren't they? And they sure seem to be violating the clean air act and Jefferson County seems to be aiding and abetting this. Rumor has it that one of the County Commissioners is paid in an untraceable account to defend them at all county events, law making sessions and basically to aid and abet.

I say file complaints, lawsuits and even criminal complaints against Port Townsend Paper, Dale Stahl, Roger Hagan, AMCOL, and Minerals Technology Inc.

Port Townsend Paper is NOT above the LAW
Expose all people who are aiding and abetting them to 
BREAK THE LAW.

File Charges against ALL acting in conspiracy

"Gov. Inslee Wants To Cap And Tax Emissions From Washington State’s Major Polluters"
"Washington Gov. Jay Inslee has big plans for carbon reductions in his state, as outlined in climate change and transportation proposals announced by the governor’s office this week.

On Tuesday, Inslee announced a proposed tax on the carbon emissions for Washington’s major polluters. The proposal, which is part of Inslee’s transportation plan, would force major polluters in the state’s oil and gas industry to pay for the carbon they emit. The revenue gathered from the carbon tax, according to Inslee’s office, would total about $4.8 billion over the next 12 years — about the same amount as would be raised by a 12-cent increase in the state’s gas tax."

"As part of the plan, the state’s major polluters — the “relatively small number of businesses” that, according to the governor’s office, are responsible for 85 percent of the state’s emissions — would have their emissions capped. Over time, that cap will be lowered, as a way to prod the businesses to transition to cleaner, more efficient energy sources."

"“I believe it’s our destiny to lead in clean energy. Washington may be less than one-tenth of 1 percent of the world’s population, but we’re number one in the world in software, in aerospace, in apples, in online retailing,” Inslee said in a statement Wednesday. “We can choose cleaner air, more efficient cars and a better transportation system. We can choose energy independence. We have a choice in our future, and we’re choosing to take action.”

These proposals aren’t yet a done deal: they’ll be introduced to the state’s legislature in 2015. But if they are approved, they would serve as a step toward Washington’s goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. The proposals follow a April 2014 executive order by Gov. Inslee to reduce the state’s carbon emissions and increase its use of renewable energy."

A Governor Hell Bent on Clean Air Rights; WOW
BAD News for Mineral Technologies Inc. (MTX)

Executive Orders, Law, Tax; How will Port Townsend Paper and Mineral Technologies stay in business? Well they will lie and the Washington Dept. of Ecology insider(s) will cover for them as well as the Washington EPA and the Port Townsend Commissioners. Oh and the Port Townsend Leader will report on the LIE as if it were the TRUTH and WaLa Magic Happens and you breath poison, get sick and are forced to leave Port Townsend.

Port Townsend Paper, AMCOL, Mineral Technology's paper plant in the state of Washington emits 1.6 times as much CO2 as ALL other sources in Jefferson County Washington. 

Make sure that this is reported often. They will most likely pay for all the roads and bridges in the state as clearly they are a HUGE offender.

Subject: Navy Warfare Project

Dear Mr. Millett,

We are writing to join many other concerned local citizens regarding your decision to allow Electronic Warfare testing by the Navy on Olympic NF lands. As I'm sure is obvious to you by now, this project has come as a surprise to the residents of Clallam and Jefferson counties. Few members of the public subscribe to your SOPA (or are even aware of such a thing), few residents of these counties read the Gray's Harbor Daily World (which seems to be the only "local" newspaper you use to publish notices in), and there does not appear to have been any "other" effort to inform the general public of a project with the potential to raise substantial concerns. Not good public involvement, and not good public relations.

From reading several newspaper articles over the past couple of weeks, there are many legitimate questions and concerns about the project. Much of this is probably a result of lack of solid information - but where is that information to come from but your agency? (It is your land, not the Navy's.) A few concerns:

* has the Forest Service done any independent analysis, or have you just taken the Navy's analysis on
face value?

* what is really meant by "electromagnetic radiation"? This bald term seems to be scaring a lot of
people. The public needs some clarification.

* your DN/FONSI addresses several localized potential effects pretty well. A concern of many that is not even mentioned is the potential for aircraft overflights and possible increases in noise therefrom. (Oddly, the DN/FONSI doesn't say what happens to the radiation that is emitted from the sites - where does it go?)* what mitigation/safety measures will be used, and how will they make the project acceptable from your perspective?"

I am writing you a second time because of my concerns regarding the Navy's plan to set up an electronic warfare testing site on Olympic National Forest Lands. I believe there would need to be more public information meetings on the Olympic Peninsula; Port Angeles\Sequim, and Port Townsend areas using local papers,the dates, times, and place of said meeting to answer our concerns. A representative from the Navy as well as the Forest Service could inform and answer questions..

Withdrawing the DN/FONSI and addressing all comments received before going further is the wisest way to go.

So many questions in my mind at this time and very little information; please continue this dialogue.

To Reta Laford,

I understand you will most likely have the final say regarding the Navy's proposal to establish the Olympic Peninsula as an Electronic Warfare Range with a fixed emitter tower at Pacific Beach.
There were three public meetings regarding this issue; at Forks, Port Angeles and last Wednesday at Pacific Beach. Although invited, no one from the US Forest Service was in attendance; not Greg Wahl or Dean Millett.

This was particularly annoying since many of us in the large crowd had questions intended for the Forest Service. Instead, there were five personnel representing the Navy.

Why are the Navy and the Forest Service narrowing their focus to exclude potentially harmful -- perhaps deadly -- effects of these war games, when NEPA clearly states that the entire project and its impacts need to be included?

Exactly how much radiation will be projected from each of the Growler jets in one day's training?
Why is the Forest Service not demanding full transparency and full disclosure as Federal law mandates?

Why is the Forest Service considering issuance of a permit that is in direct violation of the Forest Service's Mission Statement.

Thank you in advance for your answer to these questions.

Forest Service forging ahead on Navy plan; the Olympic National Forest is YOUR FOREST. You pay for them to Violate your RIGHTS.

"By Nicholas Johnson of the Leader

Let the waiting begin.

The public's chance to comment on the U.S. Navy's bid to use roads in the Olympic National Forest to train fighter jet pilots in detecting enemy electronic signals ended on Nov. 28, and U.S. Forest Service officials say it won't be extended.


Some 3,048 comments have been submitted, 80 of which came in after the deadline. They can be reviewed at the Forest Service's online reading room at bit.ly/12sa2Pu.

https://cara.ecosystem-management.org/Public/ReadingRoom?List-size=25&Project=42759&SearchResultsPerPage=25&List-page=1

Dean Millett, the Forest Service ranger responsible for deciding whether to permit the Navy's use of forest roads, said the Pacific Ranger District office in Forks is now turning its attention to reviewing comments, and he doesn't expect it to go quickly.

His final decision, which he hopes to make by mid-2015, "is not going to happen real soon."
"Well, we've got more than 3,000 comments, so I'm sure there are some issues in there that we're going to have to look at," Millett said, acknowledging that only those deemed substantive will be considered in his review of the Navy's environmental assessment and its finding that the proposed use of those roads would have no significant impact on the natural environment or human communities.
By definition, a substantive comment raises, debates or questions the accuracy or adequacy of specific facts or policies, and attempts to offer some reasonable alternatives to information cited or methods used in the environmental assessment.

"We consider all comments, but substantive ones provide reasoning," Millett said. "Just saying 'I don't like this project' and moving on is not particularly useful."

CALLING IN BACKUP

Millet said he is thinking of calling in the Forest Service's TEAMS Enterprise Unit, a group created in 1994 that now boasts some 150 agency employees who assist with tasks too cumbersome for any regional office's staff resources.

"They're a good source if you have a one-time need for something," he said, such as performing a comprehensive content analysis on public comments. "They specialize in that kind of work, and we don't have the staffing to go through all that in a timely manner. We have other projects we have to be working on."

Of those 80 comments submitted after the deadline, Millet said they would be reviewed in the event something substantive is brought up, but "at some point you have cut things off."

Reviewing comments "may direct us toward doing additional analysis," he said, but he may also decide the original analysis in the Navy's environmental assessment remains sufficient.

Millet will eventually issue a second decision notice on whether to issue a permit, after which those who submitted comments will have 45 days to object to Millett's supervisor, Reta Laford, before a permit is issued. Only those who submitted a comment prior to Nov. 28 will have standing to object at that time.

PUSHING ON

The Forest Service's decision not to extend the public comment period comes after the Jefferson County Democratic Party called on elected officials on Nov. 18 to push for a more robust public process and production of a full environmental impact statement (EIS).

Karen Sullivan of Port Townsend, a retired U.S. Fish and Wildlife employee, helped pen the party's resolution. She said she's not surprised the Forest Service did not extend its public comment period, yet intends to continue her research into how the Navy's plan got to this point.

"How did we get here with the public so unaware of all this, and how did the Navy allow this to happen?" she asked. "If we understand the process, it could provide some background for a legal challenge down the road. If there have been flaws in the NEPA [National Environmental Policy Act] process along the way that are objectionable, we need to know this. It's like an Easter egg hunt, trying to find these nuggets of information and then add them up."

Sullivan, who submitted 11 comments and will have standing to object, is working to create a timeline of the process, but said she has run into roadblocks in getting related environmental review documents from the Navy dating back as far as 1989. It's that history, she thinks, that could lead to legal challenge.

Sullivan has questioned several areas of the Navy's environmental assessment, pointing out what she considers to be deficiencies in the state Department of Fish and Wildlife's biological opinion, for example. But she knows getting up to speed can be tough for many.

"We are at a stage where we still need to do a tremendous amount of public education, because all these issues have been split into separate parts and are difficult to understand," she said, pointing to the Navy's simultaneous bid to add 36 EA-18G Growler jets to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island's current fleet of 82. That proposal is in the scoping phase, which comes prior to compiling a draft environmental impact statement, and the Navy is now taking public comments through Jan. 9, 2015, after extending that deadline from Nov. 24.

BACKGROUND

The Navy wants permission to send utility trucks outfitted with mobile emitters of electromagnetic radiation to 15 preselected sites on the Olympic Peninsula's west end, 12 of which are on forest roads.
Growler jet pilots would then fly over in groups of three, with a lead jet trying to pick up on those electronic signals coming from the emitters as training in identifying enemy communications.
The $11.5 million project would be the Navy's first use of mobile emitters of electromagnetic radiation for training that pilots currently simulate with internal aircraft controls.
The Navy proposes to begin this training in September 2015.

Public meetings in Forks on Oct. 14, in Port Angeles on Nov. 6 and in Pacific Beach on Nov. 19 drew hundreds of people, almost all of whom opposed the project. Comments made during those meetings were not recorded, thus won't be considered by Forest Service officials.

Investigative Blogger Crystal Cox says SUE the State of Washington Department of Ecology, Mineral Technologies, Port Townsend Paper, and Jefferson County Public Health for Deliberately, Knowingly, Willfully Polluting your Air, Water and Soil.


If you want to SUE the Port Townsend Paper Mill for polluting your air and water, here are a few Pro Se Tips. You don't need an attorney. This is NOT legal advice, it is simply research material and a place to start.

In my opinion you can sue in Federal court right away, NOT State Court. You can File in Olympia and you can also file or instead of in say New York where the mill owner, I believe is, Mineral Technologies.

In my research and opinion, you do not need a lawyer to file a civil lawsuit. 

The forms you will need, in my opinion and experience are a Civil Cover Sheet, the Actual Complaint, a Motion to File in Forma Pauperis (as a poor person for Free), a Motion requesting electronic access and possible the form to waive summons, you may have to pay to serve the defendants.

Below are some ideas and research links to give you a direction to head to SUE Mineral Technologies and the State of Washington for Poisoning you.


First Of All who are possible Defendants:

In my opinion that would be:


Dale Stahl and Roger Hagan Personally and Professionally.

Mineral Technologies Inc.

AMCOL, and all board of directors personally and professionally

PT Holdings Company, Inc.

Who is the Mill's Liability Insurance Carrier?
(Name Them too, in my opinion)

USDA, Forest Service
(Quilcene River Obligations and Liability)

Jefferson County Health Department

WA Dept. of Ecology

State of Washington Water Pollution Control

Washington State Department of Ecology

EPA

PORT TOWNSEND PAPER CORPORATION

Jefferson County Public Health

Jefferson County

City of Port Townsend

The Actual Complaint will need to name parties, defendants and cause of action.

Here are some Cause of Action Ideas, Just Ideas in my Opinion


18:1964, Racketeering (RICO) Act

Duty of Care; Breach of Duty

Negligence Tort, Professional Negligence

Civil Rights Violation

Clean Water Act

Clean Air Act

Bill of RIghts

You will Need the Following in my Opinion; This is NOT legal advice just online research from a citizen with Pro Se experience.


* Civil Cover Sheet

* A motion filing "In Forma Pauperis"

* A motion asking the court for electronic service so you can file online like attorneys do. If they say no then you will have to mail motions.

* The actual Complaint


Where to Mail your Complaint and accompany documents, in my opinion

US District Court
700 Stewart Street, Seattle, WA 98101
Phone:(206) 370-8400
