It is important to note that on the Elwha and Jimmycomelately, they don't need the east side (Right side) of a river estuary. An estuary is where the rivers meet the sea.. They are ready to rub out a community where they themselves developed property, in the name of estuary, salmon, watershed, and floodplain restoration.

The treaty was broken when the tribes went "global" and then took county money and grant funds to acquire "reparations' to heal broken relationships the last 14 years.

Between the federal grant fraud, broken treaty and the equal protection clause, their plan should be easy to stop.

Somebody with standing has to assemble the documents and take the county to court. Its actually the County doing the dirty work and they got the county tax payers to pay for it.

January 20, 2025 could not come soon enough.

So there is hope, I did not know about this.

Are you saying trumps administration will be able to do something to help this?

In more ways than one. The first thing that will happen is the NGO's will lose the federal funding primer that creates the suction of County tax dollars.

The grants are meant to leverage a county into adopting a federal or in this case an international and tribal public policy.

What is clear from the last year of activism work by Jeff and others, the NGO layers have been exposed in great detail.

Any civil rights office that is not manned by a liberal will be concerned about civil

rights and equal protection.

The same goes for DOI. Treaties work both ways. The treaty pendulum will swing the other way now. We will go from "Boldt" to "global" to broken treaty, one way or the other.

Signing international contracts to "build and serve" world government required registration as a foreign agent. Wait until a Republican Congress finds out that all those jobs bills the last 14 years were undermined by the NGO layers building capacity for third world countries and paying reparations for colonization to repair broken relationships.. They will be handing out $250,000 fines like candy. Maybe even jail terms.

It's possible but we are not going to be high on the priority list with all there is to accomplish just to save the nation.

Once they are convinced the NGO's are boots on the ground over in the Non-profit corner undermining their America first policy things will change in a hurry.

It would seem to me someone has to make this obvious for change to occur. Who is going to bring this to their attention, or are they already aware and working on it?

Have you heard about Glen Morgan? He is a watchdog of WA State government (and some cities and counties, too). He will come out here and teach a course on how to organize etc. If someone is willing to reach out to him, I'll rent a hall so he can hold a class, and he can stay for free in our Airbnb. https://www.wethegoverned.com/resources-for-whistleblowers/

Because no one will state a clear goal of what is going on I look to acts that have already taken place, online Sklallam documents, and the structure and policies of the DOI/BIA to form my logical conclusion.

When the Sklallam signed their treaty they refused to go to the reservation set aside for them. Instead they purchased land on the open market to stay where they had been living. Later they were one of the first tribes to get an exemption from the federal government, I think the term was self-sufficiency, but basically they would take care of themselves (medical, housing, financial) and not need direct support other than government policies.

Federal policies such as "land-in-trust" have (8) reasons why property can be removed from tax roles, and the last one has to do with activities that support the financial well-being of the tribe. It should come as no surprise that the golf course and Blyn campus are ripe for the clause.

Essentially all the above tells me that the Sklallam are well on their way to obtaining more property by leveraging other entities to meet that goal. I would guess that it has to do with their ability to get as much property back they would assert was once theirs.

So we have a quasi TV series "Yellowstone" environment going on here.

Interestingly enough a look at BIA and Sklallam documents around who can be considered a tribal member, and their population, leads me to think they're numbers are dwindling. Can they maintain sufficient percentage of blood lines that there's anyone left to be considered a member of the Sklallam that all this is for their survival?

Yes the parallels with them and the tribe in “Yellowstone” are very apparent !! Same with the county just wanting revenue from only “tourism and property tax”

It appears that there are two factions; the tribes and people who want to revert to a time before the white man settled this area, and people who have purchased property on the peninsula over the past 150 years, and feel entitled to have their own little piece of paradise. The tribe is acquiring more land in the area, taking it off the tax rolls. The tax burden is increasing in private home owners to the point where they can no longer afford to remain in their homes.

The tribe was given a special class when they were struggling to make a living wage. That situation has changed drastically since the they were allowed to build casinos, and fish commercially rather than fishing at a subsistence level. They have gone from being a supported by social services, to being a protected and privileged class.

A lot of what is currently transpiring is a result of an unspoken belief in reparations by many of our government representatives who seem to have embraced the idea that this land belongs to the tribes, and non-tribal residents really have no claim to the land.

At what point do we stop treating the tribes as a protected, privileged class?

When the new civil rights office of the U.S. Department of justice, the new Solicitor General of the U.S. Department of Interior, and the new FARA Unit take office, the time will be right to take this locally embedded international and tribal government off the backs of County tax payers. Get some reparations of our own for 14 years of a broken treaty right.

It’s not a mystery, it’s white guilt felt by progressives. They’re perfectly comfortable throwing people under the bus to assuage their guilt as long as they’re not personally affected by the decision.

Help, I am drowning in acronyms and NGOs, all of whom seem to be using our tax money to work against OUR interests. It is increasingly clear that the Tribe(s) are slowly and methodically acquiring lands, for which they pay no property taxes, yet increase their clout over us. Eventually, we will be relegated to a few reservations. I wonder if, at that time, WE can claim sovereignty over these lands, and start moving the cycle back....

Jeff, your relentless peeling of the onion is revealing a stench that we otherwise wouldn't be aware of, due to prevailing winds. THANK YOU for another great exposé!

There is a plan in place since 2016 (Google) Comprehensive Plan-jamestowntribe.org

Here are some excerpts: "The Comprehensive Plan is the Tribe's road map. It tells us here we expect to end up, and how we intend to get there. Tribal Land Consolidation Area (Page 13-map on page 14) This area was approved by the US Dept of the Interior as the place in which the Tribe will concentrate land acquisitions...and within which lands may be designated as Tribal trust land (Page 18) ...until the Tribe has reestablished its homelands (i.e. land base), there will be limits to the Tribe's self-governance and self-sufficiency...It has been the Tribe's intent from (1986) that time forward to continue acquiring lands for rebuilding the Tribe's land base and for future development as they become available...At some time in the future, all of this property will likely be in reservation/trust status..."

If the Tribe wants 3 Crabs "returned to them" they should tear down the levies and flood the evil people who live down there out. Flood them out. If they won't leave let them drown. Let them be swept away in a torrent of water.

Because the land belonged to them, once... Did it? I don't think so. This is 2024. If all you California and East Coast implants want to hug anyone who says "imperialists", "colonists"... YOU should leave the area. If YOU are here, living in an aprtment, a rented home, etc., then YOU are what you call the people who live in their homes. It's 2024, we're here. The Tribe is rich with idiot lost bets at the Casino. They need our homes too?

There's a new Interior Department. If the Tribe breaks a levee illegally someone who said "yes tear that levee down" should go to jail for putting the lives of the "settlers" in mortal danger.

Article 9 of the Treaty with the Sklallam calls out the remedy for depredation against citizens.

Awesome, whoever left after a depredating flood injuring and perhaps killing residents, have a remedy...

Rather avoid this step.

It is only obvious that the Jamestown Tribe does not need our assistance any longer. How many public entities can afford what you see happening with Jamestown. I have paid my taxes and supported Clallam County for more than 70 years and very offended that our tax dollars continue to be used against us. It needs to stop!

"The grants are meant to leverage a county into adopting a federal or in this case an international and tribal public policy."

These are usually environmental in nature.

They used the environmental grants, estuary, floodplain, salmon , riparian, watershed, to using environmental mantra to block manufacturing under the reduction of emissions by requiring original tree canopies and residential development in areas where America manufactures.

Meanwhile:

The Congress appropriated money to create manufacturing jobs....here. for Americans.....while the NODC build capacity for the world economy...and the tribes.

I have seen the poster boards in Congress wanting to know why federal agencies are interfering with Congressional legislation, we just need to get Jeff's poster boards up there.

Think about it.

Every Congressman wants to be environmental.

They have no idea the environmental hand is chopping off the jobs hand...or that their federal grant money is building capacity for third world countries and paying reparations for colonization to repair broken relationships.

Here is a quick hint to all of the criminals in government, the tribal governments, the NGO's, and the general public~! You can't trick folks into believing that a "buy back" is valid because you NEVER owned the property, vehicles, guns, or "whatever" it may be that you are attempting to steal in the first place~! Abusing the extremely limited power that you are (temporarily) allowed to have is a crime against humanity, The American Constitution, and ALL Americans~!

It has to be on the level of Jeff's articles, showing all we have researched the last year. I would get Jeff's approval to send such a letter as "Clallam County Watchdog" or another non-profit. "Friends of Dungeness Treaty." etc.

Its easier than 10 pesky cries into the wilderness.

However, if Jeff does not support a group letter signed by all of us, then 10 cries into the wilderness it will be.

Joe Manchin has had a cow twice on the block of bills attempting to create jobs. There are at least 20 bills Congress passed to create jobs. Manchin has railed already on the federal agency influence components. Inflation Reduction Act had job creation components. Some of that money went to Tribes as "window dressing" and "Greenwashing."

They just need to be informed of the jobs bill blocks by NGO's. Nobody is telling them.

10 letters to Congress from the people here on this site would most certainly shine a light on the end of the grant trail.

There are dozens of members of Congress wondering why the jobs creation bills are not working. They have no idea NGO's like NODC are sworn to build capacity for third world countries and tribes.

Imagine trying to help a community with grants to create jobs and then they either get blocked or tared down...and there are no results... We now know the results.... Building capacity reparations ...broken treaties and healing broken relationships... Those specific Acts of Congress (Building capacity, reparations for colonization ...broken treaties and healing broken relationships) are not in existence..... They are going to wonder...

John, you said "10 letters to Congress from the people here on this site would most certainly shine a light on the end of the grant trail" I think there are many of us that would like to send letters but don't know how to word that sort of letter, nor where to send them. If you could compose a letter for us to send, and tell us where to send them it would certainly happen. Thank you in advance for the help.

Make that two of us. I hate to sound thick, but I am completely out of my element when it comes to legalese and politics. If someone writes the letter and suggests where to send it, I will be happy to reword it to make it sound original and help out. Just because I know the smell of bullshit, does not mean that I am a scatologist.

This is the crux of a lifetime irritation of mine. I love rivers. I have walked them, camped on them, floated them and fished them all of my adult life. It has long been known that rivers flood, braid and re-channel. There are annually recurring floods and there are exceptionally large floods caused by unique combinations of weather events. An example would be a heavy snow Spring followed by a "Pineapple Express" which is uniquely warm heavy Spring rains. That combination creates an exponentially larger flooding event. All of that is fact, known, no surprise. My irritation is that people build in these flood plains knowing the inevitability of flooding. Living on a river would be a dream come true for me, but knowing what rivers do has precluded that. Why must our tax dollars be used to rescue those who chose to take that risk on their own ? They get the benefit of life on the river and we get the benefit of rebuilding, relocating or mitigating potential flooding for them when their gamble does not pay. Those homes should not be there. Neither should any public money be spent or effort be made to save or protect them. You buy a home on a bluff's edge, you risk it's sliding into the ocean. You buy a home in a floodplain, you take that same risk.

I think I understand your basic position, but how does that apply to people who have bought property in areas protected by levees that are breached and could wipeout homeowners? If the government hasn't interceded with levees then your statement makes sense.

Expand full comment

NOR should money be spent to DESTROY homes. Tearing down levees and damns and watching it drown out people below is spending money to tear down homes and property.

It might be a double-edged sword, but I would love to see the current administration put new rules into effect that would force any NGO that receives money from any governmental organization to be subject to the same public disclosure laws that governmental organizations currently are under.

Expand full comment

That would require a system based on a high moral/ethical value standard with an oversight board which would be volunteer... so no special funding could corrupt it. It would only have to meet 4 times a year but would have the force of law behind it so no wiggle room for hanky-panky.

Trying to control all these 'agencies' would be nearly impossible without a serious means of enforcement.

Search CC Watchdog for ICLEI and/or John Worthington and read his articles, they will help connect the dots but it's still better if you do your own research by back-searching the connections between the NGO's, NPO's and NWO.

I agree...it's very convoluted and I don't pretend to understand all of it but whenever someone in authority tells you it's a 'conspiracy theory' you can be assured it is in fact a conspiracy. I rest in that as truth and go from there. Just type in 'how is ICLEI linked to Agenda 21' as a general search and see what's there. It is a Global agenda...all nations are being targeted not just ours. Also listen to JFK's famous speech that got him killed when he exposed the deep state and vowed to stop them. Best wishes.
