H. Reforming Washington's Natural Resource Agencies..

I have grave concerns regarding a number of glaring
short comings in your 5 public hearings including conflict of
interest and lack of any statistical significance processes all of which
are wrapped up in the political appearence of staged public hearings.

The above photo of a railroad track which was discontinued by
the Copper River and Northwestern Railway in Alaska, is a visual
example of what the State of Washington municipal corporations and its
cereal departments have become, in my experience.

Please read/print attachment A for an excellent recap of the
philosophy of consent in a free country. This sets the theme herein.

Here are my questions to DOE and all State of Washington Natural
Resource Agencies.

1.  Washington
state HB 2591(Processing Water Rights Permits) is budgeted to generate $90
million of additional revenue over the next nine years, see attached.
Water like land, homes, vehicles and family businesses are all about
natural born rights NOT revenue and net worth to
your growing network of illegitimate municipal corporations.
The municipal corporation of the State of Washington has revenues exceeding 62
billion annually with a net worth of 132 billion and growing.

Why
is it necessary then to create fees and permits for the processing of
basic rights which the state Citizens already own and have paid for many
times over while the state and its municipal corporations have more
than sufficient revenue and assets to cover?

Are you aware that no taxes, permits, fines, fees, licenses,
interest or regulation of any kind can be placed upon the natural born
state Citizen especially for the use of basic natural resources which
they did not directly contract and which they already own.

Are you aware the natural born state Citizens are not sources
of revenue for government or any of its agencies in a true and honest
Constitutional Republic, if not why?

Are you aware that all of your services must be funded by
ONLY legitimate sources of revenue, i.e. a uniform indirect taxes on
corporations, incoming customs duties, the sale and lease of resources on
state lands and the printing of value based coins and currency.  All
else is off limits by the highest founding and fundamental laws of the
land, if not why?

Are you aware you are stacking illegitimate and
fraudulent taxes, fees, fines, permits, licensing, etc onto the
sovereign and free natural born who never asked for such entanglements you
are creating, if not why?

Are you and aware the State of Washington and DOE and all of
its agencies have far exceeded their limited authority and
jurisdiction, if not why?

2.  The state and its municipal corporation
agencies including the Department of Ecology are operating under the
illusion of "consent".   The combination of conflict of
interest, no separation of powers in the State, a fraudulent constitution
and resulting corrupted revised codes, have lead to an avalanche
of trespass and war upon some 70 clearly protected rights of the natural
born Citizens.

By what founding and fundamental charters have DOE been
created and given such authority and jurisdiction keeping in mind both
Houses were never originally given such power nor did the natural born
individually give this such authority and power away from their own
sovereign?

3.  Please refer to WA DOE Hillis Rule Amendment
attached which exclaims 5 public hearings across the state over 8 days
from August 10 through 18, 2010 with "the formal comment period ending
September 1, 2010" and an adoption of November 19, 2010.  This
appears to be a political charade with a predetermined agenda. DOE
is pretending to collect feedback from 5 public hearings over 8 days to cover
themselves.  This process of data gathering, as well as the expected
number who will show up will most likely be statistical
insignificant, i.e. statistical nonsense not representative of the community or
the state.  The process of so call "public hearings" are
skewed by DOE with overwhelming bias including the compression of the
data gathering period.

Is the DOE cooperating with any of the worldwide movements
involved in the ICLEI global/local governments for sustainability?

4.  In the private sector, a study of this magnitude
would require public input over a much longer time to
develop extensive interviews and documentation not 8 days.  In other
words, your process appears to be intentionally designed to give you what you
want regardless of what the "public hearings" bring out.
King County plays this same shell game too, as do all the cities,
counties and states in the union.

Is the State of Washington  Department
of Ecology involved with, communicating with or are complicit with any of
the following groups or agendas:  Agenda 21, The UN Framework
Convention on Climate Change, The UN convention on Biological Diversity,
the UN Convention to Combat Desertification, the Habitat Agenda, the Millennium
Development Goals, the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation, Municipal
Finance Officers Assoc., International City Managers Assoc., Governmental
Research Assoc., American Municipal Assoc. American Legislators Assoc.,
American Public Welfare Assoc., Public Admin. Clearing House, Council of
State Governments, United States Conference of Mayors, National Assoc. of
Housing Officials, American Society of Municipal Engineers, International
Assoc. of Public Works Officials, National Assoc. of Tax Assessing Officers,
National Association of Planning Officials, Washington Assoc. of Cities,
Futurewise/1000 Friends of Washington, The Nature Conservancy, Natural
Wildlife Resource Council, Sierra Club or any environmental organization
in the State of Washington or United States Inc.?

5.  Please refer to "Sample Size Tables"
attached.  The State of Washington population is approximately 6.7
million.  You will need a sample size of some 663 to
16,500 to give you a confidence level of 99% with a margin
of error ranging from 5% to 1%, respectively.  And this would
only represent the entire state.   Chances are, you will not
even reach the minimum sampling required in total attendance alone, let alone
in actual verifiable eye to eye recorded feedback vs. staged standing verbal
input. Then you would need to do this for each of the applicable
geographic and political regions of the state where this study applies, because
the geography of the state sets an entirely different statistical and
consciousness behavior from the whole.

Are you aware your Public Hearings are set up such as to NOT
gather a statistical significant sample regarding how the natural born
State Citizens feel state wide or locally, if not why?

6.  Why do all the municipal corporations use this same
"public hearing" ruse of gathering insignificant amount/detail of
data through a political ceremony?

Your process for gathering this information is extremely
conflicting and biased.  The time you have allotted to gather
feedback is only a ceremony at an environmental masquerade
party.  The foxes are holding the hearings and counting the
chickens. True and honest requirements are gathered independently without
bias before agendas are set.

Are you aware,you have built in a conflict of
interest role to your "Public Hearings", if not
why?

7.  I have spelled out some action items below several times
to my own local senators and representatives on other property rights
takings applicable here.  All to no avail of course. (see
"Action Items" below)

Have
my Senators and Representatives communicated my concerns to you about
these matters below, if not why?

8.  The entire
infrastructure including the processes used by the municipal corporations and
their respective departments are based on lies.  The basic
assumptions used by government and their applicable nongovernment supporting
groups are more often selective agendas not based in hard science.

Is DOE management and their employees aware most of
its funding sources are based on tyrannical debt and taxes which
cannot be placed on the natural born State Citizens, if not
why?

Is DOE aware that its processes are corrupted and
THEIR public hearings appear to be more like tribunals vs. face to
face feedback, if not why?

9.  I have seen this same scenario many times with other
green takings. Much if not all your work appears to be self
serving.  It appears you are basing your fundamentals
on political science NOT independent verified science, e.g.
"critical areas, wetlands, alternative energy, man caused global warming,
sustainable development", ad nausea.  These are all political man
made lies, created for revenue for the municipal corporations and their
benefactors.

Are all the DOE employees aware the we live in a
Constitutional Republic NOT a democracy whereby individual free choice is
supreme not majority rule or minority non government groups, even above
the lies, if not why?

Are the DOE employees  and management aware of the
following, if not why?

State of Washington
RCW 42.30.010 Legislative declaration

The legislature finds and declares that
all public commissions, boards, councils, committees, subcommittees,
departments, divisions, offices, and all other public agencies of this
state and subdivisions thereof exist to aid in the conduct of the
people's business. It is the intent of this chapter that their actions
be taken openly and that their deliberations be conducted openly.

The people of this state do not yield
their sovereignty to the agencies which serve them. The people, in
delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to
decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them
to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may retain
control over the instruments they have created.

Have you made all DOE employees and management aware of
their commitment to ethics -

http://www.mrsc.org/Publications/mrnews/articles/ethicsingovernmentMar06.aspx

10.  Is DOE
management and their employees aware of the distinct difference between
cooperating and coordination and are you truly coordinating with all local
governments and property owners face to face on schedules they can meet, or are
you "cooping our private and public property, if not why?

http://www.americanstewards.us/news-publications/coordination-works/coordination-works-previous-articles/coordworks-1

Also see attached PDF "The Rule of
Coordination"

11.  Are you aware of the reforming of the State of Washington
natural resource agencies and what is DOE plans to reform itself, if not
why?

Please see attached email titled "Reforming Washington's
natural resource agencies...."

Do you understand your agencies are extremely biased
toward a green agenda vs. totally neutral, if not why?.

Do you recognize DOE and the STATE and non
government agencies have intentionally excluded
the property owners from which you are taking land, homes,
resources along with trespass and privacy, if not why?

12.  Are you aware
of environmental extreme groups activism is consuming our own private and
public property fraudulently and many if not all are funded by out of state,
mainly east coast green extreme groups, if not why?

Please see email attached above entitled "Must Read -
Environmental Litigation and Attorneys

What are your plans to stop this fraudulent taking of our
property in the State of Washington?

13.  Is the DOE or the State, like the USFS, involved in any
national or global agendas or actions to "manage" private property,
private water supplies, private homes, private vehicles, private roads?

See email attached entitled "Conflict in our National
Forest".

14.  Does the DOE or the State impose any boundaries or
limits on their self perceived authority or jurisdiction, if not why?

15.  Have all DOE management and employees been informed that
so called "man caused" global warming is a lie, if not why?

Have all DOE employees been instructed
that mans contribution to CO2 is only  .117% of the natural CO2?

http://www.freedomforallseasons.org/FreedomFromManCausedGlobalWarmingMyths.dwt.asp

16. Have all DOE
management and employees been informed that so called "alternative
energy" is a political agenda lie, if not why?

All alternative energy sources are not economically viable
nor can they even come close to carrying commercial power demands

"Alternative energy" products must be manufactured
with fossil fuel and nuclear power because of the high current demands by
that industry.

http://www.freedomforallseasons.org/FreedomFromAlternativeEnergyMyths.dwt.asp

17.  Have all
DOE management and employees been informed the so called "Endangered
Species Act" is based on junk agenda lies, if not why?

Extinction intensity varies extremely AND
naturally over millenniums.

http://www.freedomforallseasons.org/FreedomFromEndangeredSpeciesMythomania.asp

18.
Have all DOE management and employees been informed of the
devastating takings on private and public property involved in Agenda 21
and Sustainable Development which is creating much of the infrastructure and
takings of DOE, if not why?

Has all DOE been informed SD is not
necessary nor economical but is an orchestration of evil by elite
controlling national and global groups, if not why?

http://www.freedomforallseasons.org/FreedomFromRuralCleansingNew.dwt.asp

19.
Have all DOE management and employees been informed of the war on private
and public property by their own government and agency, if not why?

http://www.freedomforallseasons.org/EmbattledPropertyOwnerStoriesNew.asp

20.  Have all
DOE management and employees been instructed that so called "critical
areas" are legal and environmental fiction, if not why?

Have all DOE been told that "critical areas"
are easily solved and treated no different in commercial development
projects but are not allowed in private developments.

http://www.freedomforallseasons.org/FreedomFromCriticalAreaOrdinanceMythsNew.asp

21.  Have all DOE management and employees been educated on
the strict limitations of a Constitutional Republic and that we do NOT live in
a majority rule Democracy and that the House and the Senate may not do
anything they wish even with so called "majority" or
"minority" or special interest groups?

http://www.freedomforallseasons.org/ConstitutionThatNeverWasNew.asp

http://www.freedomforallseasons.org/CommonLaw.dwt.asp

The State of Washington Constitution That Never Was - Coming
Soon

22.  Have all DOE
management and employees been instructed as to the supreme laws of the land,
i.e. The Laws of Nature and Nature's God, the Declaration of Independence and
the spirit and success of the first American Revolution, if not why?

http://www.freedomforallseasons.org/NaturalLawAndNaturalRights.asp

http://www.freedomforallseasons.org/UnalienableRightsNew.dwt.asp

23.  Have
all DOE management and employees been instructed much of the revenue of
the State of Washington including DOE comes from illegitimate and
fraudulent sources never allowed by the higher founding and fundamental laws of
the land in America, if not why?

http://www.freedomforallseasons.org/FreedomFromTaxesNew.dwt.asp

http://www.freedomforallseasons.org/FreedomFromUnFederalUnReserveNew.dwt.asp

24.  Have all DOE
management and all of its employees talked to the representing body of rural
property owners in the State of Washington via their growing network of
property rights groups, if not why?

I look forward to
hearing from you on all these questions in detail and will forward them
to hundreds of other eager property owners as well as to the State of
Washington House and Senate and Supreme Court and other states
monitoring your takings.  I understand these questions must be entered
into official records and responded too.

Thank you for your
time on these critical questions.

Excerpts from the Declaration of Independence

Extracted From a Prior Email to my senators and representatives:

This is an extract below from the above email.  All these
green takings have the same profile of how they work, i.e. largely hidden from
the rural  property owners for years until they announce a quick public
ceremony or just a small ad in the local paper and then they ignore what
everyone says.

We need to make it more difficult for them to take anything.
Currently it is just to easy for the cities, counties and state to do
whatever they want.  American Stewards  of Liberty discovered this
coordination technique above and stopped the North American Union from
literally dozing down several football fields of width through the heart of mid
America from Texas to Canada.

Currently municipal corporations at any levels can spend
years on these junk agenda programs and then spring their poison apple of
choice on the unsuspecting property owners.  This as got to stop.
Municipal corporations including the states have no authority or jurisdiction
over the natural born state Citizens, their property and their resources.
The politicians and the lawyers have confiscated our property and natural
resources.

ACTION ITEMS

Property owners need:

full and open public disclosure of
government and non government AGENDAS at all levels

new processes stopping all government
action against local private property owners

to be directly involved and approve in
any government or non government action affect their property
and resources

must be consulted first before any project
gets into and out of committee

major changes in the county and state courts;

including Prosecuting Attorneys, District,
Superior, Court of Appeals &  Supreme Court Judges

Beef up oath of office to obey the higher
founding and fundamental laws of the land

Much stiffer penalties and easier prosecution of any
government employee who violates their oaths

Judges and PA's must disclose any agenda they are
given

Judges and PA's and their staff must be monitored
and held personally accountable.

all property related violations must have strict
limitations on penalties,

no open ended tampering of bail bond, jail time,
avoidance of pleas, et al

Property Owners are witnessing District and Superior
Court corruption especially in Pierce and King County

INDEPENDENT whistle blower and watch dog groups
inside all government departments that touch private property

expanded powers of the AG to investigate and prosecute
any government corruption regarding private property takings

stiffer sentences against any government employee,

including stiff fines and imprisonment of
government employees giving excessive code enforcement and

the same for all court personnel that
violate & harasses the rights of private property owners

stiff sentences against any green extreme groups that
pressure government at any level to exercise private property takings,
e.g.

Washington Environmental Council, Futurewise, CELP,
Nature Conservancy, Autobahn, etc.

government wide investigations of departments that are
overly zealous persecuting private property owners, e.g.

Pierce and King County court system

King and Pierce County code enforcement, DDES.

King County Council extortion of unconstitutional
permitting fees on top of unconstitutional property taxes

new legislation allowing personal liability suits
against any government employee who breeches his/her oath and code
of conduit.

the establishment of a Independent Office of Property
Rights at State and county levels with applicable power to

summoned and hold any government
employee accountable

before an independent group(s) private property
owners and/or victims

from any acts including excessive legislation,
regulations and enforcement upon private property owners.

Fellow
Property Rights Supporters,

Please check out the dates of the hearings below, and attend if
you can (starting TONIGHT in Everett).  I don’t mean to be alarmist without a full
understanding of this, but time is short for input, and this looks like this
will affect water rights statewide (even though it talks about the Columbia
Basin; see links below).  The report appended below is from a contact in Lewis
County who attended the Ecology meeting in Lacey on Wednesday
night.  Let’s not let them get away with pushing through a
pre-determined conclusion, please be heard!

If
those of you that attend the meetings this week in Everett and Wenatchee would
write a summary of the meeting and report back ASAP, that would be helpful to
share with others who can provide better-informed input at the meetings next
Tuesday and Wednesday.  Also, if anyone knows an attorney that’s up
to speed on this, please let me know.

Also,
the information will facilitate preparation of letters demanding an extension
of the comment period to allow for sufficient review and comment on this.
I have added this as an agenda item for our CAPR Executive Board meeting on
Friday night.

Thank
you,

Hi
Scott,

Below

Mr. Venrick, I appreciate the time you've
obviously taken in writing this email, but given our current situation of
reduced resources and staff, and increased workload, I am not asking my staff
to respond to each of your questions, many of which are not questions of
fact but very far reaching political and ideological arguments.  I will
say that our process for gathering public input is defined by the Washington
Legislature in the form of the Administrative Procedures Act, which lays out
how agencies are to conduct this business.  Allowing for public input is
not at all the same as taking polls, which require statistically valid
samples.  Doing public opinion polls is not our job.

As to your question about communicating with
property rights groups, it is a frequent occurence.

You claim my agency has a green bias.  As
I'm sure you're aware, the job and mission of this agency is environmental
protection, so I won't argue with you on that point.  As in the past, you
have made quite clear that you completely oppose all that we do, and of course
we disagree on that.  From my obviously biased perspective, I find it
unfortunate that you have such a skewed view of the people who work at the
Department of Ecology, and the work they do.  These people are committed
public servants who show up every day to do very challenging work that the
people of Washington, through their elected legislature, have charged us with
doing.  They are much more fair-minded than you think, and strive to
balance the environmental mission with many of the concerns that you
share.  They do hard, important work, and I regret that they are
frequently subjected to criticism that is undeserved.  Like anyone, we are
not perfect, and it is fair to criticize us when we fall short, but our
mission is both valid and essential, and the people who work here are
decent, committed public servants.  I expect we will continue to disagree
on these points.

On specific issues like the Hillis rule, please
feel free to continue to participate through the legally established public
process.

Washington Department of Ecology

Dear Jack Venrick:

cc: Ted Sturtevant, Director, DOE

And what was it you
expected from a "dedicated public servant"?  Public servants
that rationalize their jobs on radical international (UN) environmentalism,
unconstitutional legislation and bureaucratic rule making, based on unsound
science.  Hmmm!  Fish have more rights than people.  Draconian
environmental protection has usurped constitutional protected property
rights.  Due process and just compensation have no meaning anymore.
They are just words in an irrelevant document .... irrelevant to the
politicians and "dedicated public servants" who thumb their noses
at the foundation of our Constitutional Republic.

My guess is, you got what
you expected.  No one, in our out of government, will rationalize
their job as being unnecessary or irrelevant.  Otherwise, their lives
would have no purpose, or meaning.

And "public
servant" is a significant misnomer.  They are more like
"trolls" of what they have determined to be, "their" own
personal "bridge".

How many times have you
heard politicians, environmentalists and bureaucrats refer to rural lands as
"their" land?  Why is it that rural landowners are being asked
to bear almost the entire burden of environmental protection, while the city
folk get off virtually scot-free?  Because city folk have literally
disenfranchised the rural population of America by electing representatives
that only represent city folk and their social and environmental mandates.
Screw the constitution.  Screw the un-represented
minority.  America has now morphed into a Democracy, MOB rule, mobs
of the dependent city folk who never saw a government handout, or a social or
environmental law they didn't like.

God help us!
