Klamath Falls, Oregon: It's Beginning to Be Over!! September 2, 2001
>
>                     By Raymond Karczewski
>
> On August 29th, I wrote an article to your board titled "Klamath Falls, Oregon: It Ain't Over Till It's Over!!"
>
> In it I commented on the "apparent" strength and directness of action
taken by the Klamath Falls folks in restoring the headgates to the proper
government, the True government -- the government Of the PEOPLE, By the
People, and For the People, not the government of Corporate America.
>
> The point of my post was that "Gaining Freedom" from tyranny is one thing,
HOLDING on to that freedom, however, is quite another.
>
> It is clear to those who have the "eyes to see" that your cause is rapidly
falling apart, and in a very short period of time at that.  I'm sure you've
heard the one about "A HOUSE DIVIDED?"
>
> The tenor of your discussion forum shows it. You are losing your momentum,
your strength, your resolve. You now spend most of your time and energy
bickering amongst yourself over matters of pettiness and personal attacks --
A trait that is always found amongst the ranks of the rationalizing
"vanguished." You have succumbed to the "divide and conquer" tactics of
those who control your minds through provocateurs, yet you are not even
AWARE of it.
>
> The enemy is no longer OUT THERE, one who is clearly identifiable. The
enemy is now amongst you and you know him not, for the enemy is YOU
yourselves, those who now flail about in uncertainty, confusion and
ignorance.
>
> Who amongst you SEES the BIG PICTURE? Who amongst you has the strength to
hold onto that vision amidst the dark forces which have been unleashed
within your collective consciousness since the fleeting successful action of
last week.
>
> You folks, whether you acknowledge it or not, represent a great number of
people of this country and of the world, common people who identify with
your plight -- the tyranny wrought by the few who rule over the many. These
are people and communities that have not yet been singled out by a
tyrannical government that no longer disguises its intentions in breaking
the spirit of a nation's people and reducing a once FREE people into
CHATTEL. How many of you are awakened to the FEUDAL system that presently
rules you and can take away your property while you BELIEVE there is NOTHING
you can do about it? How many of you realize your freedoms have been
stripped away through the magick of words? Hell, even the "Munchkins" in the
"Wizard of Oz" gained their freedom when the spell of THOUGHT they
previously held to be true was BROKEN. So much for the effectiveness and
longevity of Mind Control, eh?
>
> But I digress!
>
> You folks at Klamath Falls, Oregon and those who support you found
yourselves at WAR. The simple fact is, you are still AT WAR. How many of you
even understand that? Of those who do, how many will openly acknowledge it?
It is not yet a shooting war, but at the rate you folks are going, the
heightened state of confusion and frustration that is presently affecting
your collective actions will lead to it. Either that or it will lead to a
speedy SURRENDER.
>
> How many now see the real cause of war? Not the distant cause -- that
which may be projected by one's own conditioned intellect -- but the real
cause which cuts to the chase, which penetrates the conditioned nonsense of
the intellect with its many defense mechanisms and goes to the heart and
soul of each person trained to live life in an conditioned state of
unrelenting confusion and confoundment.
>
> How many of you see that if you do not have a consensus based collective
enemy to face, to turn your pent up aggressions against, you turn on each
other as individual enemies? And when they are not available to be used as
foils for your confusion and aggression, you are faced with the ultimate
enemy, your own divisive Intellect, the instrument that makes you your own
worst enemy. Until that is resolved and understood by the Individual, there
can be NO PEACE ON EARTH for that person; i.e., YOURSELF!
>
> You are still playing by the rules of the rulemakers, ignorant of the fact
that those who make the rules ALWAYS win the game. YES, I DID NOT
MISSPEAK -- ALWAYS!! The Solution? END THE GAME. DO NOT RETURN TO THE GAME.
>
> It is not my intention to take you by the hand, to lead you out of your
quandry, to tell you what to do about your problem. You created it, you must
solve it! It is mine, however, to tell you what is clearly observable by
your actions.
>
> You may take it or leave it. It's your life, your community, your country.
May your trials and tribulations be a lesson for those who are ACTUALLY
ready to WAKE UP!

Are You For Humans or Suckerfish? July 2001

That's the issue in Klamath Falls, Oregon, where armed U.S. federal marshals are guarding the irrigation canal gates to keep the river water from flowing to the farms of 1,400 farmers who depend on it. The Endangered Species Act (ESA), as interpreted by a federal court, has ruled that two endangered suckerfish have more rights than local residents who have been using the Klamath River for 100 years. The livelihood of 1,400 farmers and their families are at stake because they cannot survive without the water from the river.

On July 12 Oregon's U.S. Senator Gordon Smith offered Amendment 899 to release the water to the farmers. It was tabled (killed) by a roll call vote in which most Democrats sided with the suckerfish and all but 3 Republicans sided with humans.

We were shocked to note that Senator Peter Fitzgerald (R-IL) voted for fish instead of humans. We hope he will get a flood of messages asking, "Why did you vote for suckerfish instead of for good Americans who are just trying to make a living for their families on their own property using river water that the government promised them they would always have?"
