The county charter needs to be revised. It should prohibit any serving county commissioner from being a member of any other board or commission, or participating in any other organization that receives tax dollars directly or indirectly, including Clallam Transit, as well as any non-profits, charities, and NGOs, in or outside of Clallam County.
Furthermore, the charter should stipulate that commissioners shall not attend closed-door meetings with any sovereign dependent nation (tribe). All meetings concerning matters between a tribe and the county at any level must occur as an open public meeting on non-tribal property.
Time to rein in these cozy, under the table arrangements this cabal of commissioners enjoy.
Paul, I hope you and many others go before the Charter Review Commission next year and explain why you think this would be an important addition to the County Charter.
Voting is corrupted as well....PAPER BALLOTS with proper I.D. and HAND COUNTED within 24 HOURS...don't believe there is no corruption in our little BLUE/PURPLE/RED county!
There is no reason this event should not be "streaming". Our state has some of the WORST "sunshine laws" and the ones we have are not enforced for "local" government. None of our local governments have any ethics rules, and no repercussions for ethics violations. Its really back to the 1940's and 1950's here.
This closed door meeting further demonstrates the lie that commissioners are pledged to transparency and interpreting the desires of all county residents. Commissioners seem to discriminate, prejudicially, in favor of those who benefit themselves rather than have an engaged public. The natives are getting restless
The moment that "we" (Americans) realize that we are being intentionally deceived by those in government we immediately need to ask ourselves what is really going on~! It is our most important & urgent duty~! Do these people in government and those working with our government have the proper legally required Individual bonds to indemnify them in case of "mistake", malfeasance, or criminal activities? Where is the proof of the registered oaths of office that are required for ALL of them to even hold office legitimately? Additionally, the SCOTUS just recently made an historic landmark decision referred to as "The Chevron Decision" which clearly stated that no ABC's or "governmental body or Individual/s in government" can make laws, regulations, or policy OR determine their application, except for and through the proper formal Constitutionally required legislative and judicial branches of government~! While the recent SCOTUS "Chevron Decision" primarily addressed the 40+ years of rogue unconstitutional federal agency crimes & abuses of the legal system against the will of Americans and also against their best interests, it would definitely also apply and extend to ALL Individual state, county, and city government agencies as well~! This would mean that all of these nasty underhanded "closed door meetings" would be considered instantly illegal, violations of the public trust, and absolutely prohibited if "we" (Americans) extend & apply the same Constitutional logic and reasoning to our own local government troublemakers who always seek to deprive us of our rights wherever we may live~! Anyone living in Washington state who believes that our elections are honest and legitimate, in light of the rampant election frauds being revealed all over the country AND the fact that no one in our state can even vote except through the dubious & problematic no ID required "mail in voting" system, is completely unaware of what has really been going on here. Are these so called "elected officials" even legitimately in office in the first place? If not, exactly who installed them and why? All Americans are constantly exposed to being financially audited, so why have "we" NEVER seen a single complete and open election audit? I love Washington state for all it naturally offers, the good folks here, and its tragically underused, underdeveloped, but tremendous social & economic potential, however we do need to do a far better job investigating and policing our own state (just as ALL other state residents across this wonderful country must now do)~! Past generations have completely failed to keep watchful eyes upon these kinds of government abuses and criminal shenanigans, however in reflection on all of the problems that we have witnessed at the hands of our own government here, we can no longer sit idlily by while our pleas and complaints about the corrupt government are completely ignored~! Any government that refuses to prove its legitimacy is definitely hiding its unconstitutional acts and crimes, especially in a government that is required by law to be responsive to the will of the legal residents~! Together we must stand for a far better Washington State and a government that ONLY serves ALL of the people here~!
The fact that you have actually heard about The Chevron Decision is to your credit~! Interestingly, the "deep state" (the swamp) is working overtime to keep Americans from understanding The Chevron Decision or they are intentionally vilifying it because it has removed much of their evil power in one big, massive SCOTUS decision. The great Patriotic folks behind that landmark decision don't really want the general American population to really know much about it just yet either! So do look into it but be careful because the criminal powers who are intentionally working to destroy America are actively making The Chevron Decision sound ugly, just as they do to anything else that challenges their power. It is definitely not "ugly". In fact, if the average American realized what that decision actually meant there would be partying in the streets all over the US for weeks by Americans who love their country and their freedom~! That one Supreme Court decision did in fact remove the power of the corrupt bureaucrats so they can no longer arbitrarily determine how laws, regulations, and guidelines are to be treated & enforced as they have wrongly done for over 40 years. The "Big oppressive Government" received the death blow because of The Chevron Decision and as soon as "we" (America) has honorable Individuals of Goodwill in government they will have a tremendous tool to make sure that the criminals in government obey the Constitution and heed the will of the American people. Of course, the whole intent involves removing the criminals in government and criminally prosecuting them as well, but unfortunately these things do take time ;-) I do appreciate all of your efforts here in the Sequim area very much because I have been an American Constitutionalist for many years and that means that I must be more focused on the big picture of national concerns as a priority. It is wonderful to see good folks like you who are keeping an eye on the local communities all over the US, especially at this very serious time in history~! The Chevron Decision is also THE tool that "we" can use in our local communities all over the country to remove these bad actors in our local governments so that each community has the level of citizen input & control that make our communities strong. It is all about freedom~! Have a great evening and stay safe because there will be more difficult times ahead, before things get better. Good times are in fact ahead however... Sincerely, Mike
Very important decision, we need to look at how all the casino tribes recognition process was handled/mishandled by BIA/DOI.
Under the constitution only Congress has authority to recognize an Indian tribe. the 3 letter agencies are corrupt with power and I pray the Chevron decision will help with uncovering this as it now opens a way to get legal merit heard, if you have money for a lawyer that is.
That is very true Tom~! The problem is that these criminals in government and their co-conspirators have learned that if they continue to push their evil unconstitutional agendas that they plan in all of their closed-door meetings, paying little if any attention to the citizens' complaints, that they will get their way in the long run. It is not simple "bad faith" but it is the worst of faith humanly possible. The criminals simply stick to their corrupt agendas come Hell or high water, as they collect our tax money that they are so richly and generously paid (plus the "bonuses" that many are paid without the community learning/knowing about it), most of the time ignoring even court decisions or "repackaging" their evil agenda in the attempt to go around the courts and public outcry, basically daring the citizens to take any further actions. These criminal tactics have been going on all over the US now for a great many decades... It may take many years or even decades, but eventually these criminals push the good folks too far and there is the predictable violent outcome unless the criminals are removed and prosecuted for their crimes. As I am an American Constitutionalist, I understand this dynamic very well and my life is dedicated to averting violence and to find peaceful solutions that remove the power from the rogue bureaucrats and criminal politicians to return that power to the American folks where it truly belongs~! America is not now a democracy, nor has it ever been, we are a Republic and as soon as "we" refuse these rouge actors their power and take back our lawful Constitutional power our communities and country will definitely improve for the better~! Have a great week~! M
Thanks, M! Excellent and to the point! I like the mis-spell of the 'rouge' actors. They ARE made up entities with a lot of make-up and masking and bullshit.
Enough is enough.
Author Robert Heinlein (sic) quote...'an armed society is a polite society...manners tend to be good when you may have to back up your actions with your life!'
Good morning, Robert~! Thank you for the great & generous compliment! Ha! I do have to be honest and admit that it was my last brain cell that got ahead of my fingers that was responsible for the "rouge" VS rogue word~! Although God gave me a sense of humor that would definitely do that on purpose, it was a simple error this time ;-) MY humble admission... I am pleased that you found my words and Intent satisfactory, however. You are very correct in that our government has harbored a great many more low life criminals than good, decent, and honorable folks~! Enough is very much enough now, and ALL Americans need to understand the simple manipulative tactics that these criminals have been using to rob us of our free will. our money. and even more importantly our amazing lives of prosperity lost to them and their shady ways. I have been fighting this old fight for many decades now so it would be glorious to see the "shysters" removed from our government from top to bottom and all across this amazing land, but most importantly "we" need to now do better for the children and all future generations to come~! Yes, this evil bloodsucking matrix must now end, and absolute priority needs to now be focused on legal and lawful Americans finally having their life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness fully restored~! Yes, absolutely, "An armed society is a polite society" where good folks take full responsibility for their freedom, support the good folks in the Constitutional government, and the criminals are on notice should they be foolish enough to continue to commit their crimes~! I am sure that an Individual of common sense such as yourself would agree, like all good folks, violence is never something that "we" should wish because decent rational people never want that outcome. However, there are times when in defense of oneself, others, and country that the criminally minded fools leave good folks no other options. People of peace often times have great difficulties understanding the criminal minds, which really is understandable in itself, but Americans have now been tortured, pushed, prodded, deceived, and stolen from for many decades at the slick hands of those manipulators in government and other criminals at every level who have been entrenched into our society for a very long time. Tragically, crime in America has been allowed to pay for too long, so "we" (Americans) must now immediately adopt a "Zero Tolerance" attitude against anything and anyone who attempts to infringe upon our Constitutional freedoms, rights, and liberties~!
Be of good cheer Robert~! I know that right now, especially leading up to the most critical election in American history, that many evil criminal forces are inflicting great harm on all Americans to place them into their old tired "fear porn" matrix where they can easily be tricked, deceived and controlled. Americans must not fall for this simple ancient brainwashing technique any longer~! The climate (nature) is not coming to kill everyone, the cold & flu season is NOT a "pandemic" to worry about any more than it was 50 years ago, and the sky is NOT falling as these insane evil manipulators of humanity would have everyone believe~! In fact, believe it or not, one of the few real personal advantages from my life of shear Hell fighting against these criminals for many decades, is that these days I have an extraordinary well proven analytical ability AND some very high-level contacts who are close to the inside of the group of Patriots who are actually in charge of the forces of good (The Global Alliance White Hats). In short, "we" are winning this oldest of wars against America and humanity~! Most of what folks are seeing unfold in the "news" right now is primarily to wake up people who have ignored their most important duty to keep the government in line with The Constitution, fully transparent, and accountable for their actions (and inactions). This unfolding "news effort" is also intended to condition folks into understanding that the reality that they believe in, is in fact NOT the truth about their country, society, and world~! There will be a time ahead where a great many honest disclosures (truths) will be more publicly revealed, as the old dying evil matrix is eliminated, and the new Constitutional common law dynamic is revealed~! You have been, are, and will continue to witness the greatest period in history for all those who love and cherish their life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Expect the new Quantum level financial/economic system with 100% asset backed currency to roll out all across the globe, each sovereign nation to be restored to make the most of what they can contribute to their people and the world, a new higher level medical/healthcare matrix to replace the dying old corrupt Western medicine model, and the profit and control to be removed from the evil "war mongers" who have created a war like Hell on earth for countless decades~! Be patient, stay safe, healthy, well supplied, out of harm's way, and above all keep the faith because when the dust settles our country, and world will be absolutely amazing for all freedom loving Individuals~! Sincerely, Mike
All good thoughts my fellow American Patriot~! I am sorry to have been delayed responding to you, but we have many pressing duties here. We just do what we can to help folks at this most difficult time. We are in fact active in the community, so we are here until further notice! Ha! The next couple of days will be a challenge but we are expecting the next two to three months to be difficult, especially for Americans as "we" see just how things will be unfolding. For the past few decades, I have been monitoring and analyzing the problems that we have in the US (and world), and there is a decent chance that things will be improving in the not-so-distant future if everything goes well. Yes, we could go through a SHTF period of time, but I believe that the worst-case scenario will be unlikely, especially out here on the Peninsula. A lot of good folks out here have been coming together to help each other and that is absolutely perfect when adversity comes to any community. Most Americans are basically like-minded in matters that are the most important, and we have been seeing folks from all backgrounds now bringing in a new community Spirit that is absolutely awesome to see. We are sticking together ;-) We shall see how this election unfolds and what measures are taken to assure a more honest election process. When President Trump was still in office it was announced that Quantum level computing is in play, and that always means that it has been in play for a long time. Remember, The Space Force is very real and active ;-) Your suggestion of a "blockchain" solution to secure elections is more in play now than you may know. Additionally, there is a new worldwide Quantum level financial/economic system that is linked to Starlink that has already been put in place and it is just waiting for the right time to be revealed to the general public. This is also a 100% asset backed currency system for over 200 countries WITH CASH and no eating Z bugs~! Ha! So, things are probably not nearly as bad as the criminals in the media want everyone to believe ;-) I could go into great detail, and I do have some higher-level contacts, but the truth is that not many know what exactly will unfold or when it will happen. For the time being we need to stay well stocked up and as healthy as possible, because this is a world war that has been going on for a very long time. I do think that things are better than most currently believe, but we all need to play it safe and stay out of harm's way as much as possible~! Positive prayers are good!!! Have a great evening and do keep the faith~! M
"All Americans are constantly exposed to being financially audited, so why have "we" NEVER seen a single complete and open election audit?"
It's because our election system is unauditable. Ballots flood the U.S. Mail system, and are returned without chain of custody. We don't track how many ballots are undeliverable, how many come from the same address, how many from non-existent addresses, nor what happens to them after they are returned. Once the returned ballots are received, operatives can fill them out themselves, behind closed doors, and then slip them in among the legitimate ones. We also don't know how many ballots were not received by legitimate voters, nor how many were used for kindling or discarded.
A legal requirement to return every ballot, whether filled out or not, would be a step toward auditability. Then, there would be a record of NON-returned ballots, which should be minimal if penalties frighten people into compliance.
Another way would be to tie each ballot to a SSN to determine whether or not it was a legal ballot. Once that determination was made, the SSN would be stripped away and the ballot accepted. A third way would be to use blockchain technology and public key encryption, which would allow for the election HQ to verify that the ballot was returned only by the legitimate voter.
We can put a man on the moon and send space probes beyond our solar system, yet we can't have secure elections??? Gimme a break! It's that the politicians do not want it! They lose control of the outcome to the people if elections are secure.
Excellent article, Jeff, and a clever title indeed!
Our county government is corrupt. We must vote them out if the election process is not TOO corrupt, and change laws to prevent corruption in the future. They run roughshod over farmers' irrigation ditches citing evaporation loss, then promote a reservoir with the equivalent of 190 miles of irrigation ditches in surface area.
A town in Michigan recently fired their entire government, and starting anew. I wonder if we could do the same thing here. We could, if more than a handful got involved.
Ya know is it time to do our own private dog & pony show? When do more ACCORD (A Concerned Citizen fOr Reasonable Development) people show up or zoom Tuesday weekly at the Clallam County Board meetings at 10am to voice their concerns and objections in the 3 minutes we the taxpayers are given? People have to walk the talk…..don’t know what it’s going to take to step on the gas & press down?
They have already told us they don't have to allow public input...they do it as a courtesy and are not required to respond or engage in dialogue or debate with us.
We can show up in large numbers but will be stone-walled and dismissed.
Ozias dismissed real and true scientific data about the 'scam-demic' as "high level misinformation" while oppressing and locking down and damaging and destroying small businesses and individuals. Make no mistake...he is a dangerous being!
They insert the global and tribal friendlies into the non-profits. I would make a non-profit out of CC Watchdog. Start sending in opposition from non-profits to double the voice group categories.
Great work Jeff. Agreed, as Taxpayers we are all Stakeholders. Now this also would say how is the Jamestown Tribe a Stakeholder as I believe they are a sovereign Nation and not paying taxes???? Amazingly it seems as though our Political Commissioners have been bought and paid for.
I wonder how many people underestimate the corruption of small government? Probably most. I sure did before I found these articles. When you realize that our county actually has millions of dollars flowing in and out, it does remind me of some kind of cartel. Same with the tribe. I did not like the part about preventing people to live on rural land. Do they want us all in the city limits so they can control us and tell us we can’t have chickens. Will they put a cap on how big your home garden is to conserve water for the salmon??? My husband and I want to one day be able to afford some rural property in this area, sometimes it doesn’t seem like it will ever be possible.
"New homeowners building in the water rule area, and current residents being priced out by rate hikes, are allowed to drill wells. However, they must apply for a $5,250 water mitigation permit which covers indoor water use only. Permit seekers who wish to water their yards can apply for an additional $5,250 certificate. Residents with livestock — up to 15 cows, horses, sheep, etc. — can pay another $5,250. For some, that's nearly $16,000 before drilling a well has even begun." From https://www.ccwatchdog.com/p/water-woes
One World Order wants us all in 15-minute cities, which, BTW, is what is being proposed to be built next to the John Wayne Marina. They just don't want you to know that's what it is.
Does the menu include a glass of water? In the 2017 October issue of Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe Newsletter, a message from Tribal Council Chair/CEO W. Ron Allen, has some statements that could be indicative of the direction the summit on Energy and Climate Resilience, concerning water rights, might take. Below are excerpts but the full article can be obtained online under the Tribes archived newsletters.
"...the Hirst Decision...was designed to maintain protection for "senior water rights,"...stating that the first person to take a quantity of water from a water source, who puts that water to a beneficial use, has the right to continue to use that quantity of water for that purpose...If for some reason water becomes limited, the junior right holder must give deference to the senior right holder...No "new water users" beyond January of 2013 may impact these instream flows to the point these senior water rights are impaired... No one has a water right more senior than the Tribe..."

When people say, "Jeff, how do you do this?" I can only say, "I don't, we do." Jennifer's contribution is an excellent example of research I would have never seen if she hadn't posted it on this forum. Thank you, Jennifer and so many others, for helping with research. You are doing it for transparency and accountability; we all appreciate it.
They joined the ICLEI. They agreed to "build and serve " an international government. They opted out of the treaties with the United States to join an International government, without going through the Department of Interior. They then met for years with others at the NODC, Strait Ecosystems Recovery System, to make international action plans. The tribes were included in the action plans to get reparations for colonization. Joining ,making action plans and the getting the re-compete money completes a conspiracy to commit grant fraud. Claiming to be a distressed community with a casino , hotel and seafood income worth million. You couldn't possibly have a strait face even if your a tribal Mikie.The treaty is over. When the tribes accept the re-compete grant The FBI should be there waiting. So they used an international action plan using our fucking process. It should cost them big. If any one of us did that to get federal money Efram Zimbalist JR. would have arrested us by now.
Mark Ozias could not wait to get in his suit today. He is reimbursing the JKT 300,000 plus an 200,000. He is getting reparations today. They are over there getting ready to celebrate getting their reparations. What a party it must be. Its funny the only reason they are all not in jail already is that they are not a bunch of Russians, Italians or Chinese Nationals.
Its been 14 years of healing broken relationships by pushing down the American process in favor of world and tribe, and they use federal ,state, county and city funds to do it.
"However, that same four-foot rise in sea level wouldn't threaten the Tribe's campus at the head of Sequim Bay. There would be no reason to relocate the casino, hotel, gas station, or cannabis dispensary."
A policy position like this would not withstand an administrative law challenge.
This is why O'bama's NGO mechanism can work so well.
These commissioners understand their process is nothing more than a duns number dog and pony show. Mike and Mark have in on their sleeves. At least Randy has to put on sunglasses every now and then.
The 4 foot sea rise is more likely to be a tsunami than sea level rise.
The SCIENCE is showing a lot of polar ice pack build up which is where global flooding would likely come from.
There is definitely reduction in snow pack here and around the world in the mountains...which may be 'natural' or not...we don't know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth...I hope we get the TRUTH sooner than later! Amen?
Climate has been changing dramatically for hundreds of millions of years, long before humans existed. Man-mad climate change is the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on humanity. CO2 is good, it is necessary for plant life. If atmospheric CO2 increases, forests thrive and food crops grow increasingly well. Oxygen is returned for us to breathe.
I would like an answer. Is there within the county charter, a "CONFLICT OF INTEREST" clause? If so how is Ozias circumventing his responsibility to comply? It is time to hold his feet to the fire, in my opinion.
Unfortunately it's a watered down version of the original, which now has no investigative or enforcement component for non-criminal violations, which was redacted years ago.
Not only is it missing these crucial components, it also hasn't kept up with the changes in government. To wit, that a sitting commissioner can be the president of a NGO that receives money from the same county the commissioner is from. Even though Ozias has recused himself from the decisions to give his NGO money, there is no way to not believe that he's using "insider information" to maximize his organizations power. And I could go on.
CC's ethics code is so far behind other counties in this state that it's embarrassing. The Commissioners love to talk about how progressive and professional they and the county are, just not when it comes to holding themselves accountable.
THANK YOU, MK! Can't get any clearer than that! We the people have lost control...(a long time ago) when we 'trusted' people we 'thought' we elected to take care of 'our' business. It is human nature to become corrupted when there is no accountability / mentorship / auditing / ethics (the rules) / morals (the values).
We need to hold each other accountable at ALL levels of human interaction.
We know of a guy who is building a spiritual community and their 'rules' are "Own your shit" and "Tell the truth"! Maybe we could start there!
I see only two ways, neither of which is likely to succeed at this moment in time.
1. A MASSIVE strike as Poland did in 1989 to oust the Communist government. If 50,000 of us surrounded the County building demanding the current government out, it would work. But, half of us are the compliant sheeple who get their news from the networks and Marxists newspapers, who would not go along. A city in Michigan recently fired their entire government. We could do that ONLY if we had the unity.
-- or --
2. An armed, bloody, country-ending revolt which would result in unfathomable carnage, destruction, and the end of the United State. Foreign governments would quickly step in and conquer worn out, war-torn, revolutionists.
So, that leaves Option 1, but how do we get enough people to strike?
NOI, I have been going over this in my mind for days now. #1 would be extremely effective but, yes half of us are mostly compliant because we aren't informed. Until I found this site, I had no idea of the serious nature of what is happening. Until our local newspapers jump in and spread the facts, most of us will stay compliant. The only other option I can think of, is to pay and take out an "ad?" or "a column?" in the local newspapers in order to crack open the door for those of us that are politically challenged. And that takes a coordinated effort by more than one person. People will follow a leader but most people (like me) don't want to, or know how to be a leader(s) ....It takes time, a strong character, organization and MONEY Hey, how about applying for a grant? ; )
Whatever we decide, I'll pay half. The quarter-page PDN was $1,250. When I sent them the proof, they said, "It's political," so it changed to $2,500. I got discouraged and didn't pursue it.
Jeff, you are already doing a huge amount of work (I can tell, you've pulled all your hair out ; ) I would certainly contribute and I think many people would. Build it and they will come. I'm just sorry I can't take the lead because if I was challenged on any political topic I would fall in a heap and cry for my Mommy. I'm am willing to be a follower. Tell me where to mail my check, it will be in the mail and I bet you'd be surprised how many checks you will get.
To the CC Watchdog members: I will sponsor the first $100 dollars and match every $100 dollars up to $500 to post articles in our local newspaper(s) Please reread Jeff's article on the North Olympic Peninsula Summit (held Oct 29-30) and please note their sponsors. Then note the ridiculous note: "The event is free with cost covered by SPONSORSHIP. Due to budget and space constraints, this event is not open to the general public."
I will repost my sponsorship to Watchdog readers as each new revealing topic comes to light until it is matched. Using the news media is the way to go, but not by just one posting but continued bombardment. They have the money, but do can we. Maybe not in the millions, but in the thousands. Just think about. Word of mouth is not working.
Hi Kenneth, I haven't found such a clause in the charter. It might be something the citizens of Clallam County are interested in incorporating into the charter though?
To get the grant, you have to submit employment data. With many tribes being fisherman, they earn anywhere from 60,000 to 100,000 a year. They were too lazy to hire their own grant writer so they just used Mike and Mark and our duns numbers. Or worse they purposely went through the NODC to hide the reparations from federal grants, because as fisherman they are not really underserved. Many own big boats and big trucks.
The county charter needs to be revised. It should prohibit any serving county commissioner from being a member of any other board or commission, or participating in any other organization that receives tax dollars directly or indirectly, including Clallam Transit, as well as any non-profits, charities, and NGOs, in or outside of Clallam County.
Furthermore, the charter should stipulate that commissioners shall not attend closed-door meetings with any sovereign dependent nation (tribe). All meetings concerning matters between a tribe and the county at any level must occur as an open public meeting on non-tribal property.
Time to rein in these cozy, under the table arrangements this cabal of commissioners enjoy.
Paul, I hope you and many others go before the Charter Review Commission next year and explain why you think this would be an important addition to the County Charter.
Charter review is coming up and if people like Jeff Tozzer get elected that's exactly the kind of thing that can be addressed.
Hear hear
Absolutely!!
Hear hear
Not at all Tasty to be ON the menu - every County taxpayer deserves a seat at the table..............good grief!!!!!
Tru Dat
Glad to see someone here on the North Olympic Peninsula has the courage to peel the public policy onion to reveal the core.
This nonpartisan deep dive reveals how your vote can make a difference.
Voting is corrupted as well....PAPER BALLOTS with proper I.D. and HAND COUNTED within 24 HOURS...don't believe there is no corruption in our little BLUE/PURPLE/RED county!
There is no reason this event should not be "streaming". Our state has some of the WORST "sunshine laws" and the ones we have are not enforced for "local" government. None of our local governments have any ethics rules, and no repercussions for ethics violations. Its really back to the 1940's and 1950's here.
Yes, Charter Review should take this up.
This closed door meeting further demonstrates the lie that commissioners are pledged to transparency and interpreting the desires of all county residents. Commissioners seem to discriminate, prejudicially, in favor of those who benefit themselves rather than have an engaged public. The natives are getting restless
That is true.
The moment that "we" (Americans) realize that we are being intentionally deceived by those in government we immediately need to ask ourselves what is really going on~! It is our most important & urgent duty~! Do these people in government and those working with our government have the proper legally required Individual bonds to indemnify them in case of "mistake", malfeasance, or criminal activities? Where is the proof of the registered oaths of office that are required for ALL of them to even hold office legitimately? Additionally, the SCOTUS just recently made an historic landmark decision referred to as "The Chevron Decision" which clearly stated that no ABC's or "governmental body or Individual/s in government" can make laws, regulations, or policy OR determine their application, except for and through the proper formal Constitutionally required legislative and judicial branches of government~! While the recent SCOTUS "Chevron Decision" primarily addressed the 40+ years of rogue unconstitutional federal agency crimes & abuses of the legal system against the will of Americans and also against their best interests, it would definitely also apply and extend to ALL Individual state, county, and city government agencies as well~! This would mean that all of these nasty underhanded "closed door meetings" would be considered instantly illegal, violations of the public trust, and absolutely prohibited if "we" (Americans) extend & apply the same Constitutional logic and reasoning to our own local government troublemakers who always seek to deprive us of our rights wherever we may live~! Anyone living in Washington state who believes that our elections are honest and legitimate, in light of the rampant election frauds being revealed all over the country AND the fact that no one in our state can even vote except through the dubious & problematic no ID required "mail in voting" system, is completely unaware of what has really been going on here. Are these so called "elected officials" even legitimately in office in the first place? If not, exactly who installed them and why? All Americans are constantly exposed to being financially audited, so why have "we" NEVER seen a single complete and open election audit? I love Washington state for all it naturally offers, the good folks here, and its tragically underused, underdeveloped, but tremendous social & economic potential, however we do need to do a far better job investigating and policing our own state (just as ALL other state residents across this wonderful country must now do)~! Past generations have completely failed to keep watchful eyes upon these kinds of government abuses and criminal shenanigans, however in reflection on all of the problems that we have witnessed at the hands of our own government here, we can no longer sit idlily by while our pleas and complaints about the corrupt government are completely ignored~! Any government that refuses to prove its legitimacy is definitely hiding its unconstitutional acts and crimes, especially in a government that is required by law to be responsive to the will of the legal residents~! Together we must stand for a far better Washington State and a government that ONLY serves ALL of the people here~!
I'll admit, other than hearing "Chevron decision" in the news, I had no idea what it meant. Thanks.
My pleasure Jeff~!
The fact that you have actually heard about The Chevron Decision is to your credit~! Interestingly, the "deep state" (the swamp) is working overtime to keep Americans from understanding The Chevron Decision or they are intentionally vilifying it because it has removed much of their evil power in one big, massive SCOTUS decision. The great Patriotic folks behind that landmark decision don't really want the general American population to really know much about it just yet either! So do look into it but be careful because the criminal powers who are intentionally working to destroy America are actively making The Chevron Decision sound ugly, just as they do to anything else that challenges their power. It is definitely not "ugly". In fact, if the average American realized what that decision actually meant there would be partying in the streets all over the US for weeks by Americans who love their country and their freedom~! That one Supreme Court decision did in fact remove the power of the corrupt bureaucrats so they can no longer arbitrarily determine how laws, regulations, and guidelines are to be treated & enforced as they have wrongly done for over 40 years. The "Big oppressive Government" received the death blow because of The Chevron Decision and as soon as "we" (America) has honorable Individuals of Goodwill in government they will have a tremendous tool to make sure that the criminals in government obey the Constitution and heed the will of the American people. Of course, the whole intent involves removing the criminals in government and criminally prosecuting them as well, but unfortunately these things do take time ;-) I do appreciate all of your efforts here in the Sequim area very much because I have been an American Constitutionalist for many years and that means that I must be more focused on the big picture of national concerns as a priority. It is wonderful to see good folks like you who are keeping an eye on the local communities all over the US, especially at this very serious time in history~! The Chevron Decision is also THE tool that "we" can use in our local communities all over the country to remove these bad actors in our local governments so that each community has the level of citizen input & control that make our communities strong. It is all about freedom~! Have a great evening and stay safe because there will be more difficult times ahead, before things get better. Good times are in fact ahead however... Sincerely, Mike
Very important decision, we need to look at how all the casino tribes recognition process was handled/mishandled by BIA/DOI.
Under the constitution only Congress has authority to recognize an Indian tribe. the 3 letter agencies are corrupt with power and I pray the Chevron decision will help with uncovering this as it now opens a way to get legal merit heard, if you have money for a lawyer that is.
They can only get away with it if we allow them.
That is very true Tom~! The problem is that these criminals in government and their co-conspirators have learned that if they continue to push their evil unconstitutional agendas that they plan in all of their closed-door meetings, paying little if any attention to the citizens' complaints, that they will get their way in the long run. It is not simple "bad faith" but it is the worst of faith humanly possible. The criminals simply stick to their corrupt agendas come Hell or high water, as they collect our tax money that they are so richly and generously paid (plus the "bonuses" that many are paid without the community learning/knowing about it), most of the time ignoring even court decisions or "repackaging" their evil agenda in the attempt to go around the courts and public outcry, basically daring the citizens to take any further actions. These criminal tactics have been going on all over the US now for a great many decades... It may take many years or even decades, but eventually these criminals push the good folks too far and there is the predictable violent outcome unless the criminals are removed and prosecuted for their crimes. As I am an American Constitutionalist, I understand this dynamic very well and my life is dedicated to averting violence and to find peaceful solutions that remove the power from the rogue bureaucrats and criminal politicians to return that power to the American folks where it truly belongs~! America is not now a democracy, nor has it ever been, we are a Republic and as soon as "we" refuse these rouge actors their power and take back our lawful Constitutional power our communities and country will definitely improve for the better~! Have a great week~! M
Thanks, M! Excellent and to the point! I like the mis-spell of the 'rouge' actors. They ARE made up entities with a lot of make-up and masking and bullshit.
Enough is enough.
Author Robert Heinlein (sic) quote...'an armed society is a polite society...manners tend to be good when you may have to back up your actions with your life!'
God bless us everyone! Truth, Justice, Liberty!
Good morning, Robert~! Thank you for the great & generous compliment! Ha! I do have to be honest and admit that it was my last brain cell that got ahead of my fingers that was responsible for the "rouge" VS rogue word~! Although God gave me a sense of humor that would definitely do that on purpose, it was a simple error this time ;-) MY humble admission... I am pleased that you found my words and Intent satisfactory, however. You are very correct in that our government has harbored a great many more low life criminals than good, decent, and honorable folks~! Enough is very much enough now, and ALL Americans need to understand the simple manipulative tactics that these criminals have been using to rob us of our free will. our money. and even more importantly our amazing lives of prosperity lost to them and their shady ways. I have been fighting this old fight for many decades now so it would be glorious to see the "shysters" removed from our government from top to bottom and all across this amazing land, but most importantly "we" need to now do better for the children and all future generations to come~! Yes, this evil bloodsucking matrix must now end, and absolute priority needs to now be focused on legal and lawful Americans finally having their life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness fully restored~! Yes, absolutely, "An armed society is a polite society" where good folks take full responsibility for their freedom, support the good folks in the Constitutional government, and the criminals are on notice should they be foolish enough to continue to commit their crimes~! I am sure that an Individual of common sense such as yourself would agree, like all good folks, violence is never something that "we" should wish because decent rational people never want that outcome. However, there are times when in defense of oneself, others, and country that the criminally minded fools leave good folks no other options. People of peace often times have great difficulties understanding the criminal minds, which really is understandable in itself, but Americans have now been tortured, pushed, prodded, deceived, and stolen from for many decades at the slick hands of those manipulators in government and other criminals at every level who have been entrenched into our society for a very long time. Tragically, crime in America has been allowed to pay for too long, so "we" (Americans) must now immediately adopt a "Zero Tolerance" attitude against anything and anyone who attempts to infringe upon our Constitutional freedoms, rights, and liberties~!
Be of good cheer Robert~! I know that right now, especially leading up to the most critical election in American history, that many evil criminal forces are inflicting great harm on all Americans to place them into their old tired "fear porn" matrix where they can easily be tricked, deceived and controlled. Americans must not fall for this simple ancient brainwashing technique any longer~! The climate (nature) is not coming to kill everyone, the cold & flu season is NOT a "pandemic" to worry about any more than it was 50 years ago, and the sky is NOT falling as these insane evil manipulators of humanity would have everyone believe~! In fact, believe it or not, one of the few real personal advantages from my life of shear Hell fighting against these criminals for many decades, is that these days I have an extraordinary well proven analytical ability AND some very high-level contacts who are close to the inside of the group of Patriots who are actually in charge of the forces of good (The Global Alliance White Hats). In short, "we" are winning this oldest of wars against America and humanity~! Most of what folks are seeing unfold in the "news" right now is primarily to wake up people who have ignored their most important duty to keep the government in line with The Constitution, fully transparent, and accountable for their actions (and inactions). This unfolding "news effort" is also intended to condition folks into understanding that the reality that they believe in, is in fact NOT the truth about their country, society, and world~! There will be a time ahead where a great many honest disclosures (truths) will be more publicly revealed, as the old dying evil matrix is eliminated, and the new Constitutional common law dynamic is revealed~! You have been, are, and will continue to witness the greatest period in history for all those who love and cherish their life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Expect the new Quantum level financial/economic system with 100% asset backed currency to roll out all across the globe, each sovereign nation to be restored to make the most of what they can contribute to their people and the world, a new higher level medical/healthcare matrix to replace the dying old corrupt Western medicine model, and the profit and control to be removed from the evil "war mongers" who have created a war like Hell on earth for countless decades~! Be patient, stay safe, healthy, well supplied, out of harm's way, and above all keep the faith because when the dust settles our country, and world will be absolutely amazing for all freedom loving Individuals~! Sincerely, Mike
We like-minded folks should be able to contact each other if/when SHTF, so we can stick together and unite to be a cohesive opposition.
All good thoughts my fellow American Patriot~! I am sorry to have been delayed responding to you, but we have many pressing duties here. We just do what we can to help folks at this most difficult time. We are in fact active in the community, so we are here until further notice! Ha! The next couple of days will be a challenge but we are expecting the next two to three months to be difficult, especially for Americans as "we" see just how things will be unfolding. For the past few decades, I have been monitoring and analyzing the problems that we have in the US (and world), and there is a decent chance that things will be improving in the not-so-distant future if everything goes well. Yes, we could go through a SHTF period of time, but I believe that the worst-case scenario will be unlikely, especially out here on the Peninsula. A lot of good folks out here have been coming together to help each other and that is absolutely perfect when adversity comes to any community. Most Americans are basically like-minded in matters that are the most important, and we have been seeing folks from all backgrounds now bringing in a new community Spirit that is absolutely awesome to see. We are sticking together ;-) We shall see how this election unfolds and what measures are taken to assure a more honest election process. When President Trump was still in office it was announced that Quantum level computing is in play, and that always means that it has been in play for a long time. Remember, The Space Force is very real and active ;-) Your suggestion of a "blockchain" solution to secure elections is more in play now than you may know. Additionally, there is a new worldwide Quantum level financial/economic system that is linked to Starlink that has already been put in place and it is just waiting for the right time to be revealed to the general public. This is also a 100% asset backed currency system for over 200 countries WITH CASH and no eating Z bugs~! Ha! So, things are probably not nearly as bad as the criminals in the media want everyone to believe ;-) I could go into great detail, and I do have some higher-level contacts, but the truth is that not many know what exactly will unfold or when it will happen. For the time being we need to stay well stocked up and as healthy as possible, because this is a world war that has been going on for a very long time. I do think that things are better than most currently believe, but we all need to play it safe and stay out of harm's way as much as possible~! Positive prayers are good!!! Have a great evening and do keep the faith~! M
I could not have said it better, Michael! Kudos to you!
"All Americans are constantly exposed to being financially audited, so why have "we" NEVER seen a single complete and open election audit?"
It's because our election system is unauditable. Ballots flood the U.S. Mail system, and are returned without chain of custody. We don't track how many ballots are undeliverable, how many come from the same address, how many from non-existent addresses, nor what happens to them after they are returned. Once the returned ballots are received, operatives can fill them out themselves, behind closed doors, and then slip them in among the legitimate ones. We also don't know how many ballots were not received by legitimate voters, nor how many were used for kindling or discarded.
A legal requirement to return every ballot, whether filled out or not, would be a step toward auditability. Then, there would be a record of NON-returned ballots, which should be minimal if penalties frighten people into compliance.
Another way would be to tie each ballot to a SSN to determine whether or not it was a legal ballot. Once that determination was made, the SSN would be stripped away and the ballot accepted. A third way would be to use blockchain technology and public key encryption, which would allow for the election HQ to verify that the ballot was returned only by the legitimate voter.
We can put a man on the moon and send space probes beyond our solar system, yet we can't have secure elections??? Gimme a break! It's that the politicians do not want it! They lose control of the outcome to the people if elections are secure.
Excellent article, Jeff, and a clever title indeed!
Our county government is corrupt. We must vote them out if the election process is not TOO corrupt, and change laws to prevent corruption in the future. They run roughshod over farmers' irrigation ditches citing evaporation loss, then promote a reservoir with the equivalent of 190 miles of irrigation ditches in surface area.
A town in Michigan recently fired their entire government, and starting anew. I wonder if we could do the same thing here. We could, if more than a handful got involved.
Thanks, NOI. I only write because you read, and I always look forward to your feedback.
Ya know is it time to do our own private dog & pony show? When do more ACCORD (A Concerned Citizen fOr Reasonable Development) people show up or zoom Tuesday weekly at the Clallam County Board meetings at 10am to voice their concerns and objections in the 3 minutes we the taxpayers are given? People have to walk the talk…..don’t know what it’s going to take to step on the gas & press down?
They have already told us they don't have to allow public input...they do it as a courtesy and are not required to respond or engage in dialogue or debate with us.
We can show up in large numbers but will be stone-walled and dismissed.
Ozias dismissed real and true scientific data about the 'scam-demic' as "high level misinformation" while oppressing and locking down and damaging and destroying small businesses and individuals. Make no mistake...he is a dangerous being!
They insert the global and tribal friendlies into the non-profits. I would make a non-profit out of CC Watchdog. Start sending in opposition from non-profits to double the voice group categories.
Great work Jeff. Agreed, as Taxpayers we are all Stakeholders. Now this also would say how is the Jamestown Tribe a Stakeholder as I believe they are a sovereign Nation and not paying taxes???? Amazingly it seems as though our Political Commissioners have been bought and paid for.
You're welcome, David. I think we are all arriving at the same conclusion.
I wonder how many people underestimate the corruption of small government? Probably most. I sure did before I found these articles. When you realize that our county actually has millions of dollars flowing in and out, it does remind me of some kind of cartel. Same with the tribe. I did not like the part about preventing people to live on rural land. Do they want us all in the city limits so they can control us and tell us we can’t have chickens. Will they put a cap on how big your home garden is to conserve water for the salmon??? My husband and I want to one day be able to afford some rural property in this area, sometimes it doesn’t seem like it will ever be possible.
"New homeowners building in the water rule area, and current residents being priced out by rate hikes, are allowed to drill wells. However, they must apply for a $5,250 water mitigation permit which covers indoor water use only. Permit seekers who wish to water their yards can apply for an additional $5,250 certificate. Residents with livestock — up to 15 cows, horses, sheep, etc. — can pay another $5,250. For some, that's nearly $16,000 before drilling a well has even begun." From https://www.ccwatchdog.com/p/water-woes
One World Order wants us all in 15-minute cities, which, BTW, is what is being proposed to be built next to the John Wayne Marina. They just don't want you to know that's what it is.
Yes Gayle! Right On!
BINGO!
The SinOzias Cartel?
Isn't that the gang where members have a teardrop tattooed for every public road they've kept closed?
Does the menu include a glass of water? In the 2017 October issue of Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe Newsletter, a message from Tribal Council Chair/CEO W. Ron Allen, has some statements that could be indicative of the direction the summit on Energy and Climate Resilience, concerning water rights, might take. Below are excerpts but the full article can be obtained online under the Tribes archived newsletters.
"...the Hirst Decision...was designed to maintain protection for "senior water rights,"...stating that the first person to take a quantity of water from a water source, who puts that water to a beneficial use, has the right to continue to use that quantity of water for that purpose...If for some reason water becomes limited, the junior right holder must give deference to the senior right holder...No "new water users" beyond January of 2013 may impact these instream flows to the point these senior water rights are impaired... No one has a water right more senior than the Tribe..."

When people say, "Jeff, how do you do this?" I can only say, "I don't, we do." Jennifer's contribution is an excellent example of research I would have never seen if she hadn't posted it on this forum. Thank you, Jennifer and so many others, for helping with research. You are doing it for transparency and accountability; we all appreciate it.
They blew that when they joined a global government. They lost senior rights. An International Sphere of Government does not have "senior rights."
Please explain "global government" and how that works with the Jamestown tribe.
They joined the ICLEI. They agreed to "build and serve " an international government. They opted out of the treaties with the United States to join an International government, without going through the Department of Interior. They then met for years with others at the NODC, Strait Ecosystems Recovery System, to make international action plans. The tribes were included in the action plans to get reparations for colonization. Joining ,making action plans and the getting the re-compete money completes a conspiracy to commit grant fraud. Claiming to be a distressed community with a casino , hotel and seafood income worth million. You couldn't possibly have a strait face even if your a tribal Mikie.The treaty is over. When the tribes accept the re-compete grant The FBI should be there waiting. So they used an international action plan using our fucking process. It should cost them big. If any one of us did that to get federal money Efram Zimbalist JR. would have arrested us by now.
Mark Ozias could not wait to get in his suit today. He is reimbursing the JKT 300,000 plus an 200,000. He is getting reparations today. They are over there getting ready to celebrate getting their reparations. What a party it must be. Its funny the only reason they are all not in jail already is that they are not a bunch of Russians, Italians or Chinese Nationals.
The right to empty into the salt water so no one else can use it for life giving properties? That is the right they “claim.”
What's so "distressed" about a tribe that owns a casino and hotel....This is strait up grant misuse.
Its been 14 years of healing broken relationships by pushing down the American process in favor of world and tribe, and they use federal ,state, county and city funds to do it.
"However, that same four-foot rise in sea level wouldn't threaten the Tribe's campus at the head of Sequim Bay. There would be no reason to relocate the casino, hotel, gas station, or cannabis dispensary."
A policy position like this would not withstand an administrative law challenge.
This is why O'bama's NGO mechanism can work so well.
These commissioners understand their process is nothing more than a duns number dog and pony show. Mike and Mark have in on their sleeves. At least Randy has to put on sunglasses every now and then.
The 4 foot sea rise is more likely to be a tsunami than sea level rise.
The SCIENCE is showing a lot of polar ice pack build up which is where global flooding would likely come from.
There is definitely reduction in snow pack here and around the world in the mountains...which may be 'natural' or not...we don't know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth...I hope we get the TRUTH sooner than later! Amen?
Climate has been changing dramatically for hundreds of millions of years, long before humans existed. Man-mad climate change is the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on humanity. CO2 is good, it is necessary for plant life. If atmospheric CO2 increases, forests thrive and food crops grow increasingly well. Oxygen is returned for us to breathe.
I would like an answer. Is there within the county charter, a "CONFLICT OF INTEREST" clause? If so how is Ozias circumventing his responsibility to comply? It is time to hold his feet to the fire, in my opinion.
Vote for Jeff and Tom Ash who are running for the commission in District 1. Five people from each District comprise the commission.
CC has an Ethics code, https://clallam.county.codes/CCC/3.01.030
Unfortunately it's a watered down version of the original, which now has no investigative or enforcement component for non-criminal violations, which was redacted years ago.
Not only is it missing these crucial components, it also hasn't kept up with the changes in government. To wit, that a sitting commissioner can be the president of a NGO that receives money from the same county the commissioner is from. Even though Ozias has recused himself from the decisions to give his NGO money, there is no way to not believe that he's using "insider information" to maximize his organizations power. And I could go on.
CC's ethics code is so far behind other counties in this state that it's embarrassing. The Commissioners love to talk about how progressive and professional they and the county are, just not when it comes to holding themselves accountable.
THANK YOU, MK! Can't get any clearer than that! We the people have lost control...(a long time ago) when we 'trusted' people we 'thought' we elected to take care of 'our' business. It is human nature to become corrupted when there is no accountability / mentorship / auditing / ethics (the rules) / morals (the values).
We need to hold each other accountable at ALL levels of human interaction.
We know of a guy who is building a spiritual community and their 'rules' are "Own your shit" and "Tell the truth"! Maybe we could start there!
There is no one to prosecute the criminals because the corruption is complete.
All levels of government are compromised.
How do we fire all the 'heads' and clean house?
Not likely through normal political processes.
Michael Heath has a good point about it being a dangerous process as there is a lot of power and unscrupulous players involved.
'Nozias' has already attempted to get concerned citizens prosecuted by the sheriff... fortunately didn't work.
Narcissistic sociopaths and pathological liars usually don't 'see the light'.
They actively despise us 'little people'.
Marxism always claims to be for the betterment of the people...but it never works out that way, does it?
Keep waking people up...maybe we will reach that critical mass before it's too late!
If not there is only submission or war to choose from.
I see only two ways, neither of which is likely to succeed at this moment in time.
1. A MASSIVE strike as Poland did in 1989 to oust the Communist government. If 50,000 of us surrounded the County building demanding the current government out, it would work. But, half of us are the compliant sheeple who get their news from the networks and Marxists newspapers, who would not go along. A city in Michigan recently fired their entire government. We could do that ONLY if we had the unity.
-- or --
2. An armed, bloody, country-ending revolt which would result in unfathomable carnage, destruction, and the end of the United State. Foreign governments would quickly step in and conquer worn out, war-torn, revolutionists.
So, that leaves Option 1, but how do we get enough people to strike?
NOI, I have been going over this in my mind for days now. #1 would be extremely effective but, yes half of us are mostly compliant because we aren't informed. Until I found this site, I had no idea of the serious nature of what is happening. Until our local newspapers jump in and spread the facts, most of us will stay compliant. The only other option I can think of, is to pay and take out an "ad?" or "a column?" in the local newspapers in order to crack open the door for those of us that are politically challenged. And that takes a coordinated effort by more than one person. People will follow a leader but most people (like me) don't want to, or know how to be a leader(s) ....It takes time, a strong character, organization and MONEY Hey, how about applying for a grant? ; )
Whatever we decide, I'll pay half. The quarter-page PDN was $1,250. When I sent them the proof, they said, "It's political," so it changed to $2,500. I got discouraged and didn't pursue it.
Jeff, you are already doing a huge amount of work (I can tell, you've pulled all your hair out ; ) I would certainly contribute and I think many people would. Build it and they will come. I'm just sorry I can't take the lead because if I was challenged on any political topic I would fall in a heap and cry for my Mommy. I'm am willing to be a follower. Tell me where to mail my check, it will be in the mail and I bet you'd be surprised how many checks you will get.
My luscious, flowing hair! I wish you would have seen it years ago.
To the CC Watchdog members: I will sponsor the first $100 dollars and match every $100 dollars up to $500 to post articles in our local newspaper(s) Please reread Jeff's article on the North Olympic Peninsula Summit (held Oct 29-30) and please note their sponsors. Then note the ridiculous note: "The event is free with cost covered by SPONSORSHIP. Due to budget and space constraints, this event is not open to the general public."
I will repost my sponsorship to Watchdog readers as each new revealing topic comes to light until it is matched. Using the news media is the way to go, but not by just one posting but continued bombardment. They have the money, but do can we. Maybe not in the millions, but in the thousands. Just think about. Word of mouth is not working.
Hi Kenneth, I haven't found such a clause in the charter. It might be something the citizens of Clallam County are interested in incorporating into the charter though?
To get the grant, you have to submit employment data. With many tribes being fisherman, they earn anywhere from 60,000 to 100,000 a year. They were too lazy to hire their own grant writer so they just used Mike and Mark and our duns numbers. Or worse they purposely went through the NODC to hide the reparations from federal grants, because as fisherman they are not really underserved. Many own big boats and big trucks.
