US Navy Decides to Bomb Whales & Dolphins off the Coast of California... Causing Deafness. Public Input Apparently Ignored...

 

Save the Whales Drawing by gvan42

I Went to a Protest at the Wharfinger Building in Eureka, CA. The US Navy was planning to Train Sailors how to deploy depth charges off the Coast of California...

The US Navy Held a "Meet the Concerned Citizens" Event... They are Required by Law to Get Public Input and this was the Third Meeting About this Training. One in Seattle, One in Portland and us in Eureka, CA  

Those huge explosions underwater cause DEAFNESS in Whales and Dolphins. Being DEAF is the Dolphin Equivalent to Being BLIND as they use echo-location...  Whale Song is Ruined if They are Deaf... They Locate Food Using Sound. 


anyway... they hed their "Inform the Public" meeting where Sailors were there to Answer any Question a Concerned Citizen might ask. So we asked... and They answered... Obviously they Had a LOT of Practice Answering our Questions. 

 ~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

And then 2 Years Later I got an Email Stating that the US Navy Had Decided to Do the Training anyway... absurd... How much training could POSSIBLY be needed? 
I think the main reason they wanted to train was as a cure for boredom... Sailors during Peacetime don't have much to Occupy their time... Blowing Things UP! is FUN! 

Wharfinger Building Eureka, CA


Here's the Email Informing Me, Concerned Citizen, that The US Navy Will Be Bombing the Whales...

Northwest Training and Testing
Supplemental EIS/OEIS
Record of Decision for the Northwest Training and Testing Supplemental EIS/OEIS Available
The U.S. Navy, after carefully weighing the operational and environmental consequences of the Proposed Action, is announcing the release of the Record of Decision to continue training and testing activities at sea and in associated airspace within the Study Area as described in the Northwest Training and Testing (NWTT) Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement/Overseas Environmental Impact Statement (EIS/OEIS).

The Record of Decision documents the Navy’s decision to continue training and testing activities within the Study Area as described in the NWTT Final Supplemental EIS/OEIS under Alternative 1, the Preferred Alternative. Implementation of the Preferred Alternative will allow the Navy to fully meet current and future training and testing requirements. The Navy is committed to being a good steward of the environment and will continue to implement mitigation measures to avoid or reduce potential environmental impacts from training and testing.

The Navy made this decision after considering its operational needs; the potential impacts training and testing activities may have on human, natural, and cultural environments; and comments from elected officials, government agencies, tribes, nongovernmental organizations, and the public on the proposal and environmental analysis. The Navy also considered comments received following the publication of the Final Supplemental EIS/OEIS. New and major substantive comments are addressed in the Record of Decision.

The Navy is committed to providing the public an accessible version of the Record of Decision during COVID-19 conditions. The Record of Decision, Final Supplemental EIS/OEIS, and supporting documents are available online at www.NWTTEIS.com.

If you need assistance accessing the document or have media inquiries, please contact Ms. Julianne Stanford, Navy Region Northwest Public Affairs Office, at julianne.stanford@navy.mil or 360-867-8525. For all other queries or if you require additional information about the project, please contact Ms. Jackie Queen, Project Manager, at projectmanager@nwtteis.com.

For more information, or to view the Record of Decision, please visit www.NWTTEIS.com.

The Navy strived to keep the public informed throughout the National Environmental Policy Act process. Thank you for your continued interest and participation in this important project.

 and then I realized that the USA Tested Atom Bombs underwater. Causing a Giant Noise... Perhaps Causing Deafness in The Entire Pacific Ocean...

and an alert reader said: They've been blowing out the hearing of whales and dolphins for years now when submarine testing in the open sea. The pings emitted by a sub's transceiver have sound waves louder than a jet engine.


https://www.askqotd.com/sonar/ 

A sonar ping can be as loud as 235 decibels. To the naked ear, this can be shatteringly loud, as human eardrums can only withstand around 160 decibels. 

SERIOUS QUESTION: Does LSD Improve Long term Memory? What is YOUR Experience? One fact I have noticed is that some events SEEM MORE SIGNIFICANT and are easier to remember than others. For example:

Since I am 67 Years Old I'm starting to have trouble remembering events in my life. My Trips STAND OUT as Important Events in My Life...

Also, I find that reading and writing to Facebook Groups of people I know is useful for triggering memories. True Brain Training that works. This group inspired me to write down every event in my entire life... My AutoBiography...

One fact I have noticed is that some events SEEM MORE SIGNIFICANT and are easier to remember than others. For example: I saw all three Star Wars Movies in the Theater. I don't really remember that experience as different than my memories of watching reruns on TV. EXCEPT The Third Movie... I went on opening night and bought some LSD from a Tie Dyed Person in line... THAT MOVIE EVENT STANDS OUT! The Emperor saying "and now young Skywalker, you must die..." is VIVID! Also driving home I went thru some road construction with those super bright lights... It felt like I was piloting one of those spaceships from the movie... Yes, I have driven a car on LSD... The other time was at a George Harrison Concert... Right after he played the Concert for Bangladesh he went on tour with Ravi Shankar and Billy Preston. I was truly annoyed by the people in the audience who BOOED Ravi Shankar. I guess they didn't like Indian Music and were impatient to hear a BEATLE. The High point of the Show was Billy Preston doing Space Race... Anyway, I had difficulty finding the exit from the parking lot that night. No trouble actually driving but I got lost... 

Some decades are a Mystery... Like the Late 1990s... I was drinking Alcohol. Don't Do That. There are better quality drugs... For Example: Marijuana, LSD, Peyote, Magic Mushrooms, DMT and that Unknown Chemical I Ate at the Grateful Dead Concert at RFK Stadium... all of a sudden I realized I was tripping on Something Totally Different... Maybe MDMA? The Stadium Lights swelled up to be 20 feet in diameter... and I did a SUPER SLOW POWER WALK all the way out to my car... People were Laughing at me because I took a step, waited until I GROKKED that exact location Completely, then took another step... and GROKKED that new location... Hey, it was totally different and worthy of study... They said: "Watch OUT for that guy, he's walking really fast and might run you over!" I had just read some Carlos Castaneda books and was interested in Power Walking... In his case, he was able to run through the desert in total darkness... my experience was the opposite.

I also liked to eat Heavenly Blue Morning Glory Seeds. They contain LSA, a chemical that is similar to LSD. It was really fun to drive my wife's sports car on the twisty mountain roads near Santa Cruz... 

In a classic example of "Hey Kids, Don't do this at Home..." I do not recommend driving a car high on psychedelics. DON'T Do It! Hire a Chauffeur! or go way out into the woods on a backpacking trip... those are some of the best trips! Since you are far away from Law Enforcement... Crazy Behavior is Tolerated!

A Million Trips Later, What was LSD All About Anyway? Was it a Recreational Drug? Was it More Like a Telephone that Allowed People to Call GOD DIRECTLY?

Was it a Significant Event in The History of The World or as Trivial as a Roller Coaster Ride? We Did Get a Lot of Excellent Rock Music Songs. Is it Even Possible to Buy a "Stairway to Heaven" anymore? 

I Have Noticed that People Who Had the Psychedelic Experience Turned Out to BE NICE, KIND and HAPPY. GREED FREAKS Often Missed Out on "The Sixties..." 

The CIA Project MKULTRA Concluded that LSD Had No Value as a "Weapon of War." Does it Have a Value as a "Weapon of PEACE?" In General, Populations that Took LSD Turned Out To Be LESS VIOLENT than Similar Groups... Acidheads are often interested in Art, Music, Poetry, Organic Farming, Love, Peace, Ecology... GEE, What If Everyone Was Like That? 

We are Seeing a Movement to Legalize Magic Mushrooms... What About LSD and Peyote? What IF We Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics FIRST and then Recreational Psychedelics Later. The Main Advantage to Legalization is there Would Not Be the FEAR of Getting Arrested as a Setting for Your Trip. I Have Experienced that Tripping WAY OUT IN THE WOODS has a FREEDOM aspect to it. On Occasions where My Friends and I Were the Only People for Miles Around... We were More Relaxed than Tripping in Public. 

ANOTHER Massive Advantage is that the Chemical Fabrication of LSD Would be Better Quality. Often, Illegal Chemists Make a Substandard Product OR Sell an Entirely Different Chemical (DOM) and Call it "ACID" - I Have Spoken with People that Took DOM (sometimes called STP) and their Three Day Trip was Frightening and Awful. We Would Certainly Reduce the Number of Trips to the Emergency Room with Quality Control. 

What about all the recent talk about embracing Death? Will We Be Grateful?

Let's Cut The Police Force in Half. How to Contact Your Senators and Representatives. Fewer Police = More Safety. Police Need MORE TRAINING About How to STOP MURDERING UNARMED CITIZENS
You may phone the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121. A switchboard operator will connect you directly with the Senate or House office you request.

They Won't Know Your Opinion Unless You Contact Them... 

Here is what I Wrote to Ami Bera and Dianne Feinstein:

"Let's CUT the Police Force in Half Nationwide. 
Fewer Police = More Safety. Let's Lay Off Half of the Policemen and Refund Their Wasted Salaries TO THE TAXPAYERS. Since ACTUAL CRIME is Down, Why Do We Need So Many Cops? Legalize Marijuana Nationwide and Free ALL The Cannabis Prisoners. More VOLUNTARY TAXES going into the Government's Coffers and LESS SPENT on Law Enforcement. EVERYBODY WINS!"

and... To Kamala Harris I Said:

"Let's Cut The Police Force in Half Nationwide. Refund Their Wasted Salaries to the Taxpayers. and... Legalize Marijuana, Free All the Cannabis Prisoners.

Police are a Menace to Society. Fewer Police means More Safety. Fire Half of them. Retrain them to Do USEFUL WORK... and... Legalize Marijuana Nationwide. Collect VOLUNTARY TAXES on it. Free All the Cannabis Prisoners. That Means MORE MONEY GOING INTO THE GOVERNMENT AND LESS SPENT ON LAW ENFORCEMENT. Everybody Wins. We Could Use the Empty Jail Cells as a Homeless Shelter..." 

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

Remember: The Actual Crime Rate Is Down. Let's Lay Off Half The Police For LACK OF NEED... They are Bored, Heavily Armed with Nothing to Do and Therefore It's No Surprise That They GET IN TROUBLE... https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2020/06/actual-crime-rate-is-down-lets-lay-off.html

Read a Newspaper Article I Wrote for the Humboldt State University Lumberjack Newspaper: 

Welcome to Freshwater, California USA. Location of a year long tree-sit Protesting Logging of the Redwood Forest. The people living in the trees were evicted by Eric Schatz... A Sub contractor working for MAXXAM Corporation.

View from the top of Freshwater Valley near Eureka, California. Looking at the Ocean... Now that MAXXAM has cut down all the trees, it's easy to get a fine view of the valley below. 

Freshwater, CA Ecology Protest Tree Sit Earth First! - Redwood Trees


We went to a tree-sit/ecology action where 9 Earth First!ers were arrested. (full text of newspaper article I wrote) It Happened on Greenwood Heights road. That road goes very far up into the hills of the Trinity Alps near the area called Kneeland. It's a totally different climate up there in comparison to Eureka. It's hot grassland with cattle ranches.

How to fix the Waiting for Edge Chat error in the Farmville Game. DELETE COOKIES, RESTART GAME. and tips for playing Farmville.

In Google Chrome: Delete History/Clear Browsing Data prevents the error message from appearing... I keep the Passwords only...

Be aware that you will have to sign in again to all the websites you like... but the passwords will be stored, so that's easy to do... be aware that this is a temporary fix... I have to do it every time I want to play Farmville... and I have read that this infection happens on all games.

I Check EVERYTHING except passwords... 

A simple way to avoid annoying error messages on the computer is to put a piece of paper over the location of the message... often while I play Farmville, it says "waiting for edge chat facebook com" ... because the game is failing to connect with something I don't care about... the message is always in the lower left hand corner of the screen... so, a piece of paper folded in half removes that message from my sight...

Optional: Run Disk Cleanup... Good to do Occasionally... 
When I run Disk Cleanup... I select My Files Only, 
Drive C: OK... OK... Are You Sure? Delete Files.
deleting unnecessary files from my computer. 



Sometimes the error message will re-appear days later... so once again I delete history in Google Chrome... everything except passwords and the message stops appearing...
