oregon & cascadia
Cascadian IMC's: Cascadia is the northwest coastal region of North America, including the area surrounding the Cascade mountain range extending from Humboldt County, Calif., to the Alaskan panhandle, and covers much of Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. A narrower definition of Cascadia refers to the area influenced by the Cascade mountain range and the 100 miles of coastal lands between it and the Pacific Ocean. Cascadia is a Pacific Rim nation-state concept and a possible basis for regional autonomy, as plans are made to secede from the respective countries that envelop the Cascadia bioregion. For many residents of the Pacific Northwest, Cascadia is a state of mind fostered by the lifestyle of this unique biosphere and has become a geographical identity spoken of with pride.
While the relentless slaughter by the US Government can only be stopped at the federal level, fur trapping in Oregon can be stopped by its citizens.

East Blair One terminal on Alexander is the expected point of landing. The ship is estimated to be arriving late Friday night or early Saturday AM, and is expected to generate traffic on I-5 late nights from Monday through Wednesday, 9PM - 3AM each night.

From the open publishing newswire:
Coos Bay is the frontline in the struggle to protect the west coast from another intrusive corporate energy product, where Jordan Cove, PG&E and other consortium members plan a pipeline with linear clearcuts across Oregon to the CA border near Malin, OR. However, the net results of the investment into this very expensive project is as unstable as the liquified natural gas being imported to OR for the sole purpose of export to CA energy markets.
In the event of a seismic disruption along the coast (see; Cascadia subduction zone, near shore tsunami), the timing of the tanker's arrival could influence whether the destruction is limited to a tidal wave (bad enough by itself) or the combined catastrophe of a tidal wave AND an explosion from the tanker's cooling system's failure and/or rupture and the rapid warming and explosion of the stored LNG. The Cascadian subduction zone is likely to move at some point in the future, not a matter of "IF" but "WHEN". WHEN this subduction event happens, it will be a destructive force that makes Katrina's time in New Orleans look like tiddlywinks (not an exaggeration.)The "scientists" from FERC who granted approval for the Coos Bay terminal must have missed this little tidbit of knowledge Additional LNG info; http://www.oregonwaters.org/LNG.htm

From the open publishing newswire:
Today I had my first appearance before the federal grand jury in Davenport, Iowa. I was represented by a federal public defender (although he could not be present in the grand jury with me). After reading a brief statement expressing that I would not testify, I was released with a subpoena to reappear before the grand jury again on the 17th of November at 9:00 A.M. It is likely that at this time I will be held in contempt of court for continuing to remain silent, and could face jail time up to the length of the grand jury (it convenes for 12 months total, which leaves 11 remaining after my November appearance). We are still looking into legal questions regarding how long they could hold me.
Oct 13 press release: "Twin Cities Anarchist Subpoenaed to Federal Grand Jury in Iowa"
About 300 or so people rallied and marched to mark eight years of war in Afghanistan.
In Cascadia, though, we like to think for ourselves. We follow our hearts more faithfully than we follow the dictates of people who consider themselves to be "The Authorities." And so the people of Seaside began bringing fresh water to the sea lion dubbed Sadie by the nearby community. http://sealiondefensebrigade.org
THEREFORE: I estimate that we're going to see a military load-in (incoming Strykers) at East Blair One on or about the October 18th - October 22nd time period and should make observations on the ground before that time to prepare for that eventuality.
From the open publishing newswire:
This involves modifying and tampering with public records, corruption, deceit and unfair treatment of the general public regarding the Bureau Of Land Management's planning process and handling of public comments for the John Day Basin Resource Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement and other matters.
It would serve the public interest best if the John Day Basin Resource Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement was rendered not worthy of further consideration and set aside in the same way as its nasty sister, the Western Oregon Plan Revisions |
