Journalism: My Favorite Class in College. To Actually "BE" Woodward & Bernstein for a Semester. I Interviewed June Moxon & Went to an Earth First Tree Sit Eviction.

June is one of the Main People at the Kinetic Sculpture Race. She was Holding a Fundraiser Open House at the Kinetic Sculpture Laboratory and I Published my Interview BEFORE THE EVENT so Maybe Students That Read the Lumberjack Newspaper WERE MOTIVATED to buy a ticket and Go... My Article Might have Helped Finance the Event! and The RACE!


I Learned a Couple of things in that Class.

If You see Something and Say Something that's an "Opinion" Piece. If You Ask Three People What They Saw... That's a "News" Piece.

I Also Learned to Say Everything You Have to Say in ONE SENTENCE. Then, Say Everything You Have to Say in ONE PARAGRAPH. Then, Say Everything You Have to Say in the Rest of the Article...

The Reader May decide that the Subject is NOT INTERESTING after One Sentence... and Move on to the Next Article... OR they May Read One Paragraph... and then Move on... RARELY do they Read More than That...

I took that Class because My Guidance Councillor said That The Lumberjack Newspaper was Going to Create an Online Edition and the Journalism Department Needed some Computer Experts to Help Them...

Dr. Hal Campbell Said: "This will be an excellent REAL WORLD Learning Experience. Someone Wants Something Done On the Computer... and You are Hired to Make it Happen."

One thing I Never Did was to Interview a Hostile Witness... Woodward and Bernstein were Famous for getting people to Talk that did not want to Talk...

I Always Interviewed People that Were GLAD to See Me... Like: "I'm a Reported for the Lumberjack Newspaper and I'm Writing a Story About What You Are Doing Because It's Interesting."

MY NEWSPAPER ARTICLE:
Tree Sit Ecology Protest at Freshwater, near Eureka, CA 2003 - Earth First! - Complete Text of a Newspaper Article I wrote for the Humboldt State University Lumberjack. and Photographs...

HEADLINE: 8 arrested March 18th in Freshwater tree-sit. Trees chainsawed to death.

Freshwater Clearcut Logging near Eureka, CA

This morning I drove to Beautiful Freshwater (near Eureka, California) to visit the Tree Sitters. There were 10 sheriff's cars and 5 highway patrol cars. I saw 3 people handcuffed and then put in a sheriff's van. One person down the road was handcuffed and in the custody of a different sheriff. This lady was wearing "press" dogtags and was complaining that all she was doing was taking photographs. There were about 40 people standing around, talking on cell phones and playing drums. I could hear the sound of chainsawing. Then a large tree fell over. It makes a tearing sound then a big thump and a wail arose from the people. When four highway patrol cars stopped in the middle of the crowd and turned on their spinning lights, I left.(I was afraid of the police...protect and serve...corporations) As I was walking to my truck I noticed another highway patrolman writing tickets. I asked a citizen what that was all about and he said "don't worry about getting a parking ticket, none of these people will pay them anyway". I am concerned about the highway patrol being there. THERE CLEARLY WERE NO HIGHWAY RELATED PROBLEMS THERE. What's up with parking tickets? We were in the middle of the forest.









...this part written later that night...
We went to a protest to defend redwood trees today. There are 8 people that are camping at the top of redwood trees to prevent loggers from chainsawing the trees. The owners of the forest (Palco/MAXXAM) hired a guy (eric schatz)to climb up the trees and forcibly evict the trespassers. Then the Humboldt county sheriff's arrest the tree-sitters and send them to jail. Yesterday, there were 7 tree sitters and the police arrested 3 people. Then, during the night, 4 people went up. The grand total of people INCREASED. The loggers started chainsawing at the bottom of a tree that had people camping in it. This action enraged the crowd. We feel that if a logger cuts down a tree with a person in it that it is dangerous to that person. The loggers cut away a 2 foot circle of bark all the way around the tree. Someone said that was called "girthing" and the purpose was to kill the tree. My wife decided that some medicine was needed for the tree, so we went to the hardware store and bought a bucket of "tree wound" compound. It is used to seal the bare wood after pruning. We drove back to the ecology protest and she (with help from others) spread the healing compound on the bare wood. I got to spend a lot of time talking to a knowledgeable fellow named "Atilla". He said that the MAXXAM corporation has to cut down redwood trees in order to pay the interest on a giant "junk bond" debt. MAXXAM, a texas corporation, purchased the Pacific Lumber Company about 10 years ago in a hostile takeover financed by "junk bonds" that they got from Mike Milken. (remember, Ivan Boesky and Mike went to jail for wall street fraud) I saw on the News tonight that our governor, Gray Davis, has ordered the highway patrol to work 12 hour shifts to help defend the state of California from "terrorist" attacks. GEE, WHY WERE ALL THOSE CHPs OUT IN THE FOREST TODAY ? WHAT TERRORIST ATTACKS WERE THEY DEFENDING US FROM ? Atilla also told me why there were large trucks that look like they carry sand. They are used to haul gravel to build logging roads. After I left the protest in the morning, I drove way back into the woods and noticed large orange trucks with PALCO on the doors. The reason Palco hired a subcontractor (eric schatz)to do "tree service" is to protect themselves from lawsuits in case anyone gets hurt.
How to get there: From highway 101 traveling North, Take the Myrtle ave exit in Eureka and drive to Freshwater road. Take a right and then an IMMEDIATE left onto Greenwood Heights road. Drive 2 miles. When you see all the sheriff cars, you are there. From Arcata, travel south on 101 to Indianola cutoff. Take a left and drive to Myrtle ave. Take a right on Myrtle. Left on Freshwater road.

Silly Story!

A Trump supporter was seated next to an older woman on an airplane and he turned to her and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”

The old woman, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger,

“What would you want to talk about?”

“Oh, I don’t know,” said the man. “How about how they stole the election in 2020 and Donald Trump should be president.”

“Okay,” she said. “Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff – grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?”

The man, visibly surprised by the old woman’s intelligence, thinks about it and says, “Hmmm, I have no idea.”

To which the old woman replies, “Do you really feel qualified to discuss politics, when you don’t know shit?”

Decades of economic policies that favor Wall Street and corporate CEOs have created an economy that is dangerously out of balance. Corporate executives continue to line their pockets with our labor and ensure the rules are written to favor them. We cannot allow corporate greed to grow unchecked. We cannot allow the interests of the rich and powerful to dictate policies that have such profound effects on working families.

America’s working people deserve a voice in the rules of our economy. We believe increased accountability and responsibility must be required of our corporations and our capital markets. And we will continue to campaign for increased corporate accountability, be the leading voice in reining in executive pay and advocate for sensible tax policies that make sure corporations pay their fair share.

There has Been a LOT of Mockery of Christianity and the Rapture recently on FaceBorg... 

Joe Blow Posted:

I’ve got some questions…

So, did the rapture happen 24 separate times? Does the rapture happen at midnight GMT or midnight in Jerusalem? What if you were heading East and just missed the rapture in the eastern time zone and by the time you get to that time zone the one to the west is rapturing and you miss it, do you get a rapture Rain check? When you’re raptured do you leave your clothes or do they get raptured with you? What if your clothes were sinful but you weren’t, would your clothing hold you back? What if you got your clothes from a thrift shop and the person who originally bought the clothes was sinful? Is there a brand of soap that’s better at getting sin out of clothing over others? Do banks accept being raptured for missing a payment? What if you were on the toilet as the rapture was happening? Is there a check in Procedure in Heaven Once you’re raptured? Why don’t priests and nuns ever get raptured? Why don’t raptures ever happen on a Sunday? Does the rapture happen instantaneously or do you ascend slowly? How slowly? Can you control the assent? Can you fly around for a bit as you ascend or do you just go straight up into Heaven? What if a plane gets in the way? What if a plane is being flown by a pilot being ascended? Does the pilot drag the plane with him? Do animals get raptured? At what point do these predictions become obviously fake? Has anyone, aside from Jesus, ever actually been raptured? Would Blondie’s song “Rapture” be eligible to be raptured? When you’re being raptured, does it make any sound? As you are ascending, does it get colder as you rise in the air? What happens if you are struck by lightning while being raptured? Is there an orientation class to get familiar with Heaven once I’m raptured? Does Heaven come with a map? Let’s say that there is someone who you really don’t want to see in heaven, how would that work? Could you paint lamb’s blood over your doorway that prevents you from being raptured? Can you put lamb’s blood over the doorway of someone else’s doorway and prevent them from being raptured? Do you age in Heaven? Do you still have to brush your teeth in Heaven? Does ice cream melt in Heaven? What if you like melted ice cream, would it only melt for you in Heaven? Wait… why is Jesus coming? I thought we were going to see him?!? Wouldn’t it be better to say, we’re coming?

I’m beginning to think that this is as poorly thought out way too reward people!

and then... 

“When people ask me if a god created the universe, I tell them that the question itself makes no sense. Time didn’t exist before the big bang, so there is no time for god to make the universe in. It’s like asking directions to the edge of the earth; The Earth is a sphere; it doesn’t have an edge; so looking for it is a futile exercise. We are each free to believe what we want, and it’s my view that the simplest explanation is; there is no god. No one created our universe,and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization; There is probably no heaven, and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that I am extremely grateful.”

― Stephen Hawking

Every time I see this turtle looking mf. I think this SOB is the poster child for Kentucky. They have been reelecting this crook for years while he sells America down the goddamn river. These politicians go to Washington next thing you know their multi millionaires. They don't get to be multi millionaires on their salary's they get that from big pharmaceutical and insurance and medical lobbyist. Yep their making a killing off lobbyist and big interest. But Kentucky and America don't say a damn thing about going after them and their bank accounts that are full of bribe money. That's nothing but treason.

Life's tough and confusing right now for me, no doubt about it. Maybe it is for you too. Yet, in these challenging, pain filled moments, I see a chance to grow and change. Like Ram Dass said, everything, even the hardest parts, are pushing me to understand more and to change. If we're here to deal with past actions and their effects, then I want to face and learn from as much of it as I can. To become the instrument he describes above.
