Jack,

Yes, you are right on; people are waking up.
Formerly mind-their-own-business citizens are becoming radicalized by agencies
that, to paraphrase an old quote, commit their idiotic abuses faster than we
can catalogue them.

A local government watchdog includes in his posts this
passage from the Open Public Meetings Act that succinctly characterizes not
just the need for transparency but the proper relationship between citizen and
government:

The people of this state do not
yield their sovereignty to the agencies that 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 maintain control over
the instruments that they have created.

For four years citizens have been given a seat in the back of
the room, waiting for their three minutes to speak, while Ecology/DCD
holds court. The flow of information is so tightly controlled that
they dilute our real questions in their own hand, resulting in a
FAQ format that is the informational equivalent of Home Run Derby.
Citizen advise and consent has only really only really
"counted" - as Michelle reminded Ken a few weeks ago - during formal
public comment period, which by my calculations has only amounted to 8% of the time.
Now we are at the most critical juncture of new rules we will be living with
100%, 24/7 and we are again outside the ropes.

A pro-Ecology, pro-fundamentalist SMP supporter recently
said "everyone in Washington is a shoreline property owner." This is
the attitude of local planning bureaucracies, state agencies, and
self-interested NGOs. Wrong. That is not what the SMA says. Property
owners are the ones with skin in the game, and our comments need to count
now  than ever. We are much more than the 8% solution.

To: Scott and All Olympic Jefferson
County Rural Property Owners:

I am posting all your comments
on this latest State and County predetermined agenda on my site after scrubbing
out your email.  If anyone has a problem with this, I will unlink it until
you wish otherwise.  My goal here is to show
real life examples of how the government Matrix works, so people can better
recognize it for what the hidden agenda is behind the scenes.

About half way down on the page
under "2010 Postings".

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

Also please note the attached PDF
"How to Handle Predetermined Consensus Meetings" and "What is
the Hegelian Dialectic"?
These are key tactics constantly being used by the all levels of our fascists
governments, i.e. city, county, state, fed, UN and up the ladder.  I could
a write book on government and nongovernment agendas.  I don't have to
tell you, this is being used big time by the State and its little and big green
counties and cities especially around Puget Sound and anywhere there are
universities and colleges and grant money from the government flowing in.
Green activists are funded by our own property and labor to bring us down to
there feudal and barbaric mind sets.

American Stewards..of the range have
perfected stopping the global controlled "government" with a required
coordination technique you can read about on their site https://americanstewards.us/index.php?option=com_flexicontent&view=items&cid=12&id=444&Itemid=31

All these tools plus the pro
property rights legal foundations such as Pacific Legal Foundation, Mountain
States Legal Foundation, Institute of Justice, Groen Stephens, et al are the
basic and few weapons of choice we have to fight back with at this time.
But this will grow as people like you expose the green agenda.

I witnessed Senator Roach at a local
Enumclaw meeting taking control of a predetermined agenda State DOT
meeting where they spent years setting up Roundabouts for the unsuspecting
around the state and at Enumclaw and most especially a major SR 169
intersection a few minutes from me.  They went to Europe and got all the data
and came back, got the budget and started implementing these dam roundabouts
all over the state, some 100.  They held MOCK town hall meetings
pretending to coordinate with us, what a joke.  We got Senator Roach in,
and she nailed em big time but had to go the governor to do it, if you can
believe it.  The State Matrix is so entangled, Senator Roach had to go to
the governor to command the DOT to back off.  Ultimately they transferred
the $4.5 million budget to only modifying the intersection by straightening
and add turn lanes.  The DOT was also jerked up for playing games
with the accident states on the road.  One very bright fellow in the local
meeting caught on that.

I have seen this with the Rails to
Trails takings, the "uncritical Area Ordinances", concrete
roundabouts for fish at a million bucks a piece  and charged to the local
unsuspecting rural property owners, of course.  Ron Ewart flushed this
out.  They do this any opportunity they get.  Our government
flourishes on lies because they well know the truth would kill em.

I like to think, you all are
making history here.  I was raised in a government family and have family
and friends in government.  But I will spend the rest of my life exposing
this orchestrated fascism.  It is a deadly cancer growing rapidly around
the world.   They have a Hegelian Dialectic predetermined agenda that
works nearly every time and no one can see it and few understand it.

The government types have become
predatory.  My Father was a U.S Forest Ranger and servant to the Montana
ranchers, loggers and miners and well knew his place and respected them
greatly because both Dad and Mom were raised on homesteads in
Montana.  Now we have "government" types who have no connection
to the land and no credentials (planners) telling us what to do and the
few with credentials in the government are so brain washed by the state run
academia, they don't know where they live, i.e. in a fascist democracy or
a Constitutional Republic.

As soon as I receive permission to
post some additional material on events in Stevens County Washington, I will
send out.  You are going to be happy to see this and hopefully all of us
will have another potential super catapult to use.  Rural propery owners
are starting to wake up to the tactics being used on them.  Our
bows and arrows are relatively minimal against the state big budgets
and political weapons used.  The tools available to us are far and few
in-between.  I think you will be impressed by this new potential tool.
We are fighting for our lives with an enemy that has been so
thoroughly indoctrinated, they cannot conceive there is a civil war
brewing AND another American Revolution.  At this point in time, it seems
the only viable option and I do not say that lightly.  I have people on my
little country road that just do not get it.

We are more than justified and long
over due to rise up and throw back this fascist belief system which
thinks it can steal our property, traditions and then have the gull to put it
up for debate so people outside our local areas can vote on how they think
we should manage our local private and public property.  Of course it
would never be a open debate because the State and their county and city
municipal corporations will hide and distort the facts and the big
picture.

It is normal for an oversight agency to prepare a
“Responsiveness Summary”, wherein the agency will review how well
public comments have been addressed (i.e., by Jefferson County’s response
to comments).  Comments, responses, and Ecology’s evaluation of
whether the response is sufficient should all be part of the
“Responsiveness Summary”.  The public comments may not be
shared in raw form.  Instead, they will likely be compiled into a tabular
format of comments, responses, and Ecology’s interpretation of response
sufficiency.  Thus it is important to demand that the public comments
be posted and shared publicly in their raw form also.  That way we can
verify that all comment issues are in fact included and responded to in the
Responsiveness Summary, and ensure nothing has been dropped by the wayside.

Ecology sent
all the public comments to Jefferson on May 28 for County "feedback."
At that time Ecology said they would create a summary of comments that would be
posted on their web-site for public viewing. (They have said posting individual
comments would "take up an inordinate amount of server space."). The
Ecology web-site has described this as a "Responsiveness Summary."
But it is over two months after the April 20 public hearing and still
there is nothing for the interested citizens of Jefferson to review. But the
County has them. Can't the citizens of Jefferson be extended the same courtesy
as the agencies that supposedly serve them? This is not exactly Responsive. The
citizens of Jefferson are once again on the outside looking in.

The
sheer volume of comments and subsequent delay in making them available to the
public ought to be the canary-in-the-coal-mine that the SMP process in
Jefferson has failed to represent and serve the people directly affected.
It certainly couldn't have been a surprise that there would have been this
level of citizen comment. Of the roughly 200 people who showed up at the public
hearing at Ft. Worden, nearly 90% expressed opposition to the proposed new
shoreline rules. No matter, to date citizen participation has continuously
been marginalized and even belittled by the County. With that kind of
track record, people are very curious to see how their
"feedback" is being translated by same County staff. Add to that
Commissioner Austin's remark that the 200 people at the hearing were the angry
ones and didn't represent the true sentiment of the County. This is the same
John Austin who told a citizen the 150 foot buffers were final before the
Planning Commission had even embarked on their review of the draft
SMP. The philosopher William James called this "contempt prior to
investigation."

At
this time it is more important than ever that citizens be kept directly in the
loop. Citizens deserve immediate access to the same individual
comments - not just a summary - as are available to Ecology and the
County.

Happy
Summer,

Jim

This should be done in the form

Ken, you are
right.  The County must make Michelle's comments available and allow
comment on them.  State agencies allow comments to be submitted, but do
not make their replies available until it is too late to respond back.
Kind of a parent-child relationship, "I don't want to hear your excuses,
we're doing it because 'I said so' "

"1.       The

OK,
why was the comment period state wide ??? Oh, I know, everyone on the planet
has an interest in MY PROPERTY !

Why
can our 'County' (who else but - Michelle?) provide DOE with 'some feedback'
after the comment period ended ??

The
County is US, WE THE PEOPLE - not Michelle. We have spoken and she has no right
to clarify or 'feedback' - ANYTHING. (we should demand copies of everything she fed back)

This
is especially true because she is paid from a state DOE grant - a very
incestuous situation !!   Why is a defacto state employee representing the
property owners of Jefferson County who pay the property taxes and who are
being hurt by this SMP ?? (essentially DOE represents the county in DOE decision making)

As
far as I am concerned Michelle's actions reopen the comment process and roll
back the timeline, otherwise we are denied equal protection as guaranteed by
the 14th amendment! Our comments have not been protected from her SPIN !

Subject: SMP: State review continues

Greetings & Happy Summer Interested
Parties!

STATE PROCESS

The State’s review of our Locally Approved SMP (LA-SMP) continues with WA
Department of Ecology:

1.
The County is currently working to provide Ecology some feedback on the
issues raised by the 300+ comment letters received during the state-wide public
comment period.

2.
After our Response to Comments is submitted to Ecology (within the next
month or so), Ecology will prepare their Findings and Conclusions along with
their decision to A) approve; B) approve with required changes; or C) deny the
SMP.  If changes are required, some dialogue may be required to find
complete agreement between the State and the County.

3.
After Ecology approval, the final step is for the Board of County
Commissioners to adopt the new SMP by ordinance as new components of the
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code.

So while the process is moving forward, we
still have a few months to go before final adoption and the new SMP takes
effect.  Stay tuned… this email list will continue to receive
project updates.

NEWSPAPER CLARIFICATIONS

You may have seen the recent articles in last
week’s Leader newspaper – a few points of clarification are
needed:

·         Buffers
& Setbacks – While it may seem a finer point, there is a difference
between the terms buffers and setbacks as proposed by the LA-SMP.  The
150-foot distance proposed is a standard shoreline buffer for
stream/river and marine shorelines that fall under SMP jurisdiction.
There are separate 5-foot side-yard and 10-foot building setbacks
proposed as well.  Far from a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach,
the LA-SMP also proposes 6 options to adjust the standard shoreline buffer when
specific situations arise.

The current SMP has only requires setbacks:
30 to 100-feet for residential and a minimum of 15-feet for commercial and
urban development.  The County’s Critical Areas Ordinance has
included a 150-foot buffer for fish & wildlife habitat conservation areas
since early-2008, and has successfully withstood legal challenge.  The
City of Port Townsend SMP requires buffers that range from 50 to
200-feet.  Other jurisdictions around Puget Sound also have 150-foot
buffers in place (e.g. Whatcom County).

·         SMP
jurisdiction – Not all shoreline areas in the county meet the
statutory definition for ‘Shoreline of the State’.  The SMP
will apply to all shorelines that meet the criteria for SMP jurisdiction.
Lakes less than 20 acres in size, rivers/streams with less than 20 cubic feet
per second mean annual flow, and lands under federal or tribal ownership do not
qualify.

Thanks for your continued interest,

Michelle
