American History: The Humboldt County Timber Wars... A Hostile Takeover of Pacific Lumber Company and The Extreme Logging of Old Growth Redwoods in Northern California. MAXXAM SUXX


In 1985 Charles Hurwitz borrowed money (Junk Bonds) from Michael Milken and bought the company Pacific Lumber, located near Eureka, California. Then Hurwitz increased the rate of logging in the Redwood Forest and cut down all the highly profitable trees. Then he split his corporation MAXXAM into two divisions. One division was used to do actual logging and sawing of boards and the other division was used to hide the profits. When the bill came due on the Junk Bonds, Hurwitz declared bankruptcy and took the money back to Texas. Including the pension funds that paid retirement benefits for employees...

Then the Pacific Lumber Company was purchased at a foreclosure sale by The Fisher Family. They had made a fortune selling clothes at a chain of stores called "The Gap". They reintroduced the business plan called "sustainable logging" where the Lumberjacks would only cut down as many trees as grew during the year. This plan was invented by the original owner of Pacific Lumber, Simon J. Murphy... The concept was to cut 1% of the forest every year and plant new trees so that in a hundred years the new trees would have grown big enough to harvest. Read More At:

 Headline: Trump pardons junk bond king Michael Milken. 

 President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he was granting clemency to Michael Milken, the legendary bond king from the 1980s who served several years in prison for violating securities laws and has since become a prominent philanthropist.

 Trump made the announcement to reporters Tuesday, along with the news that he was commuting the sentence of former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich and pardoning ex-NYPD commissioner Bernard Kerik.
Milken rose to prominence on Wall Street in the 1980s as the head of the high-yield bond department, also known as junk bonds, at the now defunct firm Drexel Burnham Lambert.
But Milken got tied up in an insider trading scheme and eventually pleaded guilty to several counts of securities violations tied to a scandal with former stock trader Ivan Boesky.

 LOOK in the MIRROR... and Ask Questions... OR DON'T! It's Your Life... You Certainly CAN Breathe Air and Eat Food and Use Electricity WITHOUT Doing a BIT of Good For Humanity... Billions DO!

 All I Really Ask is That EVIL PEOPLE STOP DOING EVIL... For Example: Jim Fitterling, The CEO of Dow Chemical... They Make Agent Orange and Napalm... GEE... That's Horrible! 

 Or Richard (Dick) Fuld, The Guy Who Ran Lehman Brothers Into Bankruptcy... He Got To Keep His Money and Is STILL Doing Evil on Wall Street... OCCUPY!

I'm Glad That I Made A Difference With My Life. At Work, I Helped People... So Many People Do Evil Because It Pays a Lot of Money... That's CRAZY!

I Thank My Parents For "Raising Me Right." We Are in Favor of Doing Good and Opposed to Doing Evil... 

 For Seven Years I Worked at The Welfare Office in Eureka, California Helping Poor People Get Jobs, Food Stamps, Medi-Cal, Social Security Disability, and General Relief (Free Rent) ... We Also Had a "ONE WAY Bus Ride" Out of Humboldt County. Very Popular and Truly Useful... GTFO!

 Many People Wind Up as Homeless People in Eureka... Some are Veterans Who Have PTSD... Some are Battered Wives... Some are Recently Paroled From Prison... and... Some are Kids Who Came Here to Work as Trimmers at the Marijuana Farms. That is Seasonal Work and When the Harvest is Over... They are all Laid Off and Are Broke, Homeless, Stoned, Confused and Hungry... We Feed 'em and Send them Right Back to YO MAMA's House... I Cannot Count How Many People I Have Helped... and they ALL were in Desperate Trouble... We Also Helped People Find a Room To Rent, Find a Doctor and FIND OUT WHERE THE FREE MEAL IS... There are Two... The Eureka Rescue Mission on 2nd Street at "C" and the Betty Chin Truck at the Corner of Koster and Washington Streets... (that's where the Welfare office is)

 I Also Spent Six Years as a Clerk at Radio Shack... Helping People Solve Their Electronics Problems... Our Store Not Only Sold Products BUT WE ALSO GAVE FREE ADVICE. Many People Can't Figure Out How to Change the Time on their Digital Watches,,, and You Have to Do That Twice a Year for Daylight Savings Time... Many People Do Not Know How to Hook Up Their Cable TV... We Would Draw a Diagram and Collect all the Parts and Wires Needed... and Once a year I Sold about 65 Packages of Hearing Aid Batteries to a Man Who Flew them to Czechoslovakia... He Says Hearing Aid Batteries are Difficult to Buy there... 

 My Life was NOT Always Doing Good... I DID Work for Six Years Making Electronic Equipment for the US Air Force... High Pay but Evil Work... Making Weapons... However, I Grasped The Concept of "Right Livelihood" and Switched to Designing Machines for the US Postal Service... Much More Fun to DO GOOD! We Also Designed Computers to Prevent Bank Robbers from Stealing Money using an ATM... and We Designed Computers that Remembered The Patients "Chart" for Doctors. That was a Big Deal in 1976... Now, ALL Doctors Store Patient's Information on a Computer... Useful!

Consider the Fact That There are People That Work at Dow Chemical, Monsanto or Dupont... Making Horrible Poisons and Causing Sickness... Harming People... All for Profit... Imagine Being the Guy Who Invented Agent Orange or Napalm... Or RoundUP... or Plastic... WOW... all that Stuff is Killing Life on Earth! On Their Deathbed They Can Look Back on a Life of Evil... Every Day Making the World a Worse Place To Live... Imagine Being the Guy that Invented the Gasoline Powered Leaf Blower... That's Basically an Expensive, Noisy, Polluting RAKE... A Total Disaster!

Another Example: There are People Who Work at Wall Street Doing Mergers and Acquisitions... They Do Hostile Takeovers of Actual Businesses, Lay Off Employees, Sell Equipment and Make a Huge Profit for themselves... 

 A Classic Example of this is Charles Hurwitz of MAXXAM Corperation and Michael Milken, The Junk Bond King. They Bought The Pacific Lumber Company of Northern California. Vastly Increased The Logging of Old Growth Redwoods... Hid the Profits in Shell Companies, Stole the Employee Pension Fund and Then... When the Highly Profitable Trees Were All Cut Down... Hurwitz Declared bankruptcy and Went Back To Texas... Keeping The Money. 

The Employees Suffered, The Trees Died, The Ecology of the Forest was Damaged (mudslides) and Animals Were Harmed When their Homes (Trees) Were Clearcut. All Because ONE MAN Was Insane... and He's NOT DEAD YET! 
He was also Part of the Savings and Loan Crisis of the 1980s... Costing the American Taxpayer 1.6 Billion Dollars... and a Hostile Takeover of Kaiser Aluminum and It's Bankruptcy.

 What Does a Hedge Fund Manager DO? Do They Create Goods? Jobs? Services? Anything? A Classic Example of a Parasite...

REGROOVING is THE CURE for Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome... It is the Technique of Using ANY MEANS NECESSARY to Enlighten Greedy People to Become Interested in Something ELSE... There ARE Subjects OTHER THAN GETTING MORE MORE MORE MONEY.

 For Example: ART, Music, Poetry, Enlightenment, Gardening, Ecology, Environmentalism, Woodworking, Carpentry, Backpacking, Camping, Dancing, Organic Farming, Weaving, Knitting... There are So Many Things to DO With Your Life...

AWAKEN CORPORATE GREED FREAKS!
