This is an assessment of the TPP and Washington's desire to control world markets that gets no coverage on the media, and it is scary!  Beware the military-corporate and Congressional complexes that control our nation.  Ann

*The world is awash with ?promises?. Nearly everything we think of as
having ?value? is because of a promise behind it. A few examples; your bank
accounts, retirement funds, bonds and even the dollar bills in your pocket.
Your bank account for example, once you deposit the money it is no longer
yours. You can argue this if you wish but we now know this is true for sure
after recent ?bail in? legislations passed throughout the west. When you
deposit funds into a bank, it then becomes ?their money? held for you ?they
?owe? it to you. *

*Do not take this lightly, lawmakers around the world have made this the
new reality. A little known fact, in 1845 Britain passed banking law that
made depositors (unsecured creditors), this is still precedent to this day.
When you deposit money you ?accept a liability? from your bank and are
classified as an unsecured creditor. In other words, ?get in line with
everyone else?!*

Same thing with many retirement accounts. Think about Social Security. When
you get your annual statement form, it comes with an asterisk. This is to
inform you they ?might need to reduce benefits?. With any retirement
account you are relying on the custodian to make payments to you upon
retirement. Think about state and municipal retirement accounts promising
the good life, they are nearly ALL underfunded. Meaning there is not enough
money in there to make (promised) future payments unless some sort of
magically higher returns are realized. These are underfunded by the
TRILLIONS of dollars!

Bonds are an obvious asset class where a ?promise? is relied on. Dollars on
the other hand seem the most misunderstood by the public while being the
biggest leap of faith in all asset classes. Dollars rely on the ?full faith
and credit? of the U.S. government (a bankrupt entity) yet the populace
sleeps through the night secure knowing they own dollars. ALL non backed,
fiat currencies in the past have failed. The dollar is the widest spread
and widely owned fiat the world has ever known, its failure will be
spectacular upon arrival!

I wanted to point out the above ?promises? as a basis to speak about trust
or confidence. The financial world turns on the axis of ?trust?. This trust
was nearly broken in 2008 and is the reason the Federal Reserve needed to
secretly lend $16 trillion all over the world. If the Fed had not come up
with these funds, failures would have spread and trust would have been
broken amongst the banks/other financial institutions and even between the
central banks themselves! The Fed?s largesse worked and trust was
maintained.

Now, I believe we are set for another ?test? of trust. We have gone five+
years with QE this and QE that, the reality being outright monetization. In
fact, central banks today are buying more sovereign bonds than are even
being issued. The public and even the professional funds have backed away
from the debt markets, you can?t blame them because the interest received
does not even cover inflation not to mention a risk premium. Globally the
pace of trade and business activity is slowing or even declining which will
bring to a head the difficulties in meeting debt service and other
?promises?.

I ask, what will happen when inevitably ?trust? begins to wane? Or even
fully break? It is at this point the system goes into ?The Great Call?.
Margin call? Of course, because nearly everything financial has leverage
behind it but there is more to it than this. The ?call? I am speaking of is
for contracts of all sorts to ?perform?. In particular I am thinking
?derivatives? contracts will be called on to perform their contractual
duties.

All in all, there are over *$1 quadrillion* worth of derivatives
outstanding. The problem with this is the ?tail? is bigger than the dog. In
other words, the amount of derivatives outstanding dwarfs the total amount
of money outstanding and thus the ability to ?pay? and make good on the
contracts. The other side of this coin are contracts promising to deliver
something. Here I am thinking both gold and silver. There are far more
(100-1 or more) obligations outstanding than there are ounces or kilos
available to deliver. This is a default just waiting to happen.

If you listen to the Harry Dents of the world, the dollar will be the safe
haven and where all fear capital will go. In a world based on nothing but
trust and promises, will fear capital really pile INTO a currency based
ONLY on trust and promises ?when ?trust? is exactly what is come into
question. Actually, it can be said the dollar was originally set up in 1971
on a ?never pay? model. The dollar (and bonds) only promise to pay ?more
dollars? and nothing else. This game worked for many years, now it looks
like the Saudis after doing many deals with both Russia and China may be
set to transact in currency other than dollars. Are they displaying
confidence?

The Chinese are now net sellers of U.S. Treasuries. Ask yourself this
question, if China could sell all of their Treasuries and turn it all into
gold, silver, oil, copper and other real tangible assets (without
destroying the Treasury market or making gold and silver go no offer),
would they? I say yes, they absolutely would love to be out from under
their Treasury position. Apologetic others might say China is comfortable,
we will soon see.

Because confidence is the only thing at this point holding the game
together ?and its fickle nature, it is important for you to think this
through. What will be standing when confidence breaks? Can banks globally
survive ?runs? when depositors come calling? Can commodity exchanges
deliver all they promise? Can borrowers ?borrow more? if they cannot redeem
past issues with new debt? This is where we are headed both systemically
and globally!

Before finishing I want to tie two connected thoughts together. First, the
great Paul Craig Roberts said last week he feared precious metals could be
suppressed forever. I received MANY fearful e-mails regarding this thought
process. Mr. Roberts would be entirely correct if it were not for one small
detail, REAL gold and REAL silver must be available to deliver. Otherwise
the game comes to an end and the fraud is exposed. He is entirely correct,
?price? can be jammed or rammed with enough ?margin? posted. Dan Norcini
once upon a time had it correct when he said, nothing will unnerve the
shorts more than the longs standing for delivery ?and making a call for the
product. I would like to remind you, COMEX currently has only 11.7 tons of
gold for delivery. This is roughly $400 million. If I were short, this
paltry sum would not add to my confidence.

Another thought going hand in hand with this is where we are now versus
2008. Back then we were within overnight hours of the entire system coming
down, this is fact. What has changed since then? ?Nothing?, but in reality
quite a bit. Nothing has changed from the standpoint of ?tools used?. We
have not altered or changed anything that ?got us to the brink?? only done
more of it! We have far more debt and more derivatives outstanding now. In
fact, central banks and sovereign nations have even sacrificed their
balance sheets to prolong the game. It has worked ?so far. The only problem
is the entire arsenal of the central banks have already been tried and
failed to provide the real economy with any stimulus. The result has been
capital pushed into financial markets and blowing the bubble(s) far larger
than they were. Now, we have far larger markets with far more leverage than
2008. These will need to be met with central banks and sovereign treasuries
with weaker balance sheets and almost no ability to borrow in an effort to
reflate. It is a recipe for disaster.

We already know the sovereign debt markets are very thin on the bid side as
liquidity has dried up. We also know equity markets are displaying horrible
internal breadth. China is actually nearing a 1929 scenario and will be
there shortly if they cannot steady. Confidence is a fickle girl, if it
breaks, then we go back to the 2008 scenario and we?ll find out just how
powerful the central banks really are. I believe the coming ?Great Call?
cannot nor will be met and only then will we see what is left standing. It
is imperative here and now to position yourself in assets that do stand on
their own, everything else will be a broken promise!

Anything happening about honoring Zac at the same time?
Zac's wish was for no memorial so one has not been planned, but the community keeps asking about an event and we could get a lot of folks attending the peace garden event if it was dedicated to Howard and Zac.

Ann Rennaker went by and did some of the first weeding in the little Peace
Garden.Thanks Ann!  She says there's some very nice plants hidden in there
as well as small garden sculpture.  I'll get some buckets for weeds maybe a
hoe and shovel too to leave there. Drop by and take a look next time you're
at the S Center. Any ideas would be appreciated for the event and the
garden!  

In Peace,
Richard





Subject: Howard Ennes Peace Day Sept 21

Hi Linda,   The Howard Ennes Peace Day festivities are approved by all.
There's a very nice small 'peace' garden east of the main entrance to the
Senior Center.  It has benches and a selection of plants and weeds. Should
be perfect and after it is spiffed up and a nice addition to the SC.  Occupy
folks loved the idea and Chuck was just great.  He did emphasis that Occupy
would have to provide materials and to maintain the spot.  We have some
green thumbers in the group and can manage.  In early Sept we'll start
rolling on the clean  up and signage, etc. Hope that Howard's family can
come by sometime and especially on Sept 21 for the event. 
We'll keep you posted.

Best, Richard and Occupy Mendocino



Hi OM leadership team, 

Chuck and I had a nice chat about planting a tree in Howard's memory and a
place for a plaque.

He thought the little garden area to the right of the main entrance, below
the meeting room we use, would be good. I agreed and mentioned it could be a
peace garden.. (it was interesting that  at our meeting on Sat. we also
thought it would be a great place..)

It is a nice private peaceful place with two benches, nice plants and
shrubs, but needs weeding, trimming and tending . It is not part of the
Linda leitnergardening project.

We could put the plaque up on the wall of the building with little brass
strips for the awarded honorees.  

Chuck emphasized thet Occupy would be in charge of the garden spot and
maintain it. Like our road cleanup project.

He said that we could come in the Fall to start preparing it. Probably early
Sept. We are looking at Sept 21, the international day of peace
world wide as the day for a Peace Award presentation. 

I think it will be a special spot and fun to fix up!

Rlichard 

P.S.   Doesn't seem to need the board's approval..

Subject: The vivid words of Langston Hughes still ring true today
To: Will Notnow <BLACKDANTHEMAN100 at gmail.com>


Dear Will,

*It?s been 77 years since civil rights activist and poet Langston Hughes
wrote his chilling poem ?Kids Who Die,? which illuminates the horrors of
lynchings during the Jim Crow era.* Now, as we approach the one year mark
of the tragic police killing of Michael Brown and the Ferguson uprising
that sparked a growing movement, Hughes' words painfully still ring true
today.

Frank Chi, progressive media consultant, and Terrance Green, a filmmaker
and strategist, have created a powerful video visualizing the injustice of
current day police violence through Hughes' poem. Inspired by the
incredible acts of resistance that have taken place since August of last
year, Terrance and Frank's creative work confronts the reality of what it
means to be Black in America.

*August 9th is a big day for the movement and many of us will wrestle with
the weight of it's many meanings. *While this Sunday represents a day of
unconscionable tragedy, it also marks the re-birth of a powerful Black-led
movement to end systemic racism that is poised to change the world.

*Check here to watch the "Kids Who Die Video." Once you are done, help
spread it's message by sharing with your friends and family.*

________________________________

  Dear Friends,

  I just added the petition: Stop "Hack and squirt" in the forests..

  It would mean a lot to me if you took a moment to add your name because:
  This practice is dangerous to animals, firefighters and damaging to the ecosystem.  The poison runs off into salmon streams, gets into the air when a fire breaks out, and kills firemen who breath the smoke.  There are many residents who live up Albion Ridge and Navarro Ridge who would have trouble escaping.

  http://community.sumofus.org/petitions/stop-hack-and-squirt-in-the-forests

  Real change happens when everyday people like you and I come together and stand up for what we believe in.  Together we can reach heaps of people and help create change around this important issue.

  After you've signed the petition please also take a moment to share it with others.  It's super easy - all you need to do is forward this email.

  Thank you!

  Dear Friends,
 
  I just added the petition: Stop "Hack and squirt" in the forests..
 
  It would mean a lot to me if you took a moment to add your name because:
  This practice is dangerous to animals, firefighters and damaging to the
ecosystem.  The poison runs off into salmon streams, gets into the air when
a fire breaks out, and kills firemen who breath the smoke.  There are many
residents who live up Albion Ridge and Navarro Ridge who would have trouble
escaping.
 
  http://community.sumofus.org/petitions/stop-hack-and-squirt-in-the-forests
 
  Real change happens when everyday people like you and I come together and
stand up for what we believe in.  Together we can reach heaps of people and
help create change around this important issue.
 
  After you've signed the petition please also take a moment to share it
with others.  It's super easy - all you need to do is forward this email.
 
  Thank you!

Ann,

What I was talking about was a specific petition in Mendocino County that has to be turned in physically to the County BOS. An online general one about stopping hack and squirt in the forests will not get  a measure on the ballot in Mendocino County that residents can vote on in an election. Read page 9 of this week's Advocate.

> Trump?s Triumph: Billionaire Blowhard Exposes Fake Political System
> 
> Last night?s FOX News GOP Presidential Debate Extravaganza featured the most riveting two minute political exchange ever heard on national television. During a brief colloquy between Republican frontrunner  Donald Trump and Fox moderator Brett Baier, the pugnacious casino magnate revealed the appalling truth about the American political system, that the big money guys like Trump own the whole crooked contraption lock, stock, and barrel, and that, the nation?s fake political leaders do whatever they?re told to do.  Without question, it was most illuminating commentary to ever cross the airwaves. Here?s the entire exchange direct from the transcript:
> 
> FOX News Brett Baier (talking to Trump): Now, 15 years ago, you called yourself a liberal on health care. You were for a single-payer system, a Canadian-style system. Why were you for that then and why aren?t you for it now?
> 
> TRUMP: As far as single payer, it works in Canada. It works incredibly well in Scotland. It could have worked in a different age, which is the age you?re talking about here.
> 
> What I?d like to see is a private system without the artificial lines around every state. I have a big company with thousands and thousands of employees. And if I?m negotiating in New York or in New Jersey or in California, I have like one bidder. Nobody can bid.
> 
> You know why?
> 
> Because the insurance companies are making a fortune because they have control of the politicians, of course, with the exception of the politicians on this stage. (uneasy laughter) But they have total control of the politicians. They?re making a fortune.
> 
> Get rid of the artificial lines and you will have?yourself great plans?
> 
> BAIER: Mr. Trump, it?s not just your past support for single-payer health care. You?ve also supported a host of other liberal policies?.You?ve also donated to several Democratic candidates, Hillary Clinton included, and Nancy Pelosi. You explained away those donations saying you did that to get business-related favors. And you said recently, quote, ?When you give, they do whatever the hell you want them to do.?
> 
> TRUMP: You?d better believe it.
> 
> BAIER: ? they do?
> 
> TRUMP: If I ask them, if I need them, you know, most of the people on this stage I?ve given to, just so you understand, a lot of money.
> 
> TRUMP:  I will tell you that our system is broken. I gave to many people, before this, before two months ago, I was a businessman. I give to everybody. When they call, I give. And do you know what? When I need something from them two years later, three years later, I call them, they are there for me. And that?s a broken system.
> 
> UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What did you get from Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi?
> 
> TRUMP: Well, I?ll tell you what, with Hillary Clinton, I said be at my wedding and she came to my wedding. You know why?
> 
> She didn?t have a choice because I gave. I gave to a foundation that, frankly, that foundation is supposed to do good. I didn?t know her money would be used on private jets going all over the world. It was.
> 
> BAIER: Hold on?..We?re going to ? we?re going to move on.? (Transcript: Read the Full Text of the Primetime Republican Debate <http://time.com/3988276/republican-debate-primetime-transcript-full-text/>, Time)
> 
> There it is, two glorious minutes of pure, unalloyed truth on national television. How often does that happen?
> 
> How often does a fatcat billionaire-insider appear on TV and announce that the whole system is a big-fat scam run by crooks and patsies?
> 
>  <http://uziiw38pmyg1ai60732c4011.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/dropzone/2015/08/trumpdebate.jpg>
> Never, that?s when. But that?s what Trump did last night. And that?s why the clatter of ruthless miscreants who run the system behind the smokescreen of fake politicians are sharpening their knives right now before Manhattan?s rogue elephant does even more damage to their precious system.
> 
> Just think about what the man said. He not only explained that the whole system is rigged (Baier: ?And when you give, they do whatever the hell you want them to do.??TRUMP: ?You?d better believe it.?), he also said that the politicians will do whatever they?re told to do.  (TRUMP: Well, ?with Hillary Clinton, I said be at my wedding and she came to my wedding. You know why? She didn?t have a choice because I gave.?)
> 
> Doesn?t that confirm your darkest suspicions about the way the system really works, that money talks and that elections are just a way to get the sheeple to rubber-stamp a corrupt, fraudulent system?
> 
> Of course, it does.
> 
> So, let?s summarize: Moneybags capitalist loudmouth explains to 80 million dumbfounded Americans watching prime time TV, that the system is a total fraud, that the big money runs everything, and that even he thinks the system is broken.
> 
> How do you beat that? Seriously, my wife and I were laughing and high-fiving and like we just won the lottery.
> 
> Thanks for that, Don. We owe you one.

Last week, you and more than 14,000 other people signed the petition "Bernie Sanders, Speak Up: Militarism and Corporate Power Are Fueling Each Other."

Soon we'll formally present the petition to Bernie's campaign. But right now please boost the number of signers by:

* forwarding this email to at least three friends;

* posting the petition on Facebook, Twitter and elsewhere with this link: bit.ly/1Tambl1<http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=S23RyN%2FqdxhIa%2F8L9%2F%2ByTQa31%2FtLYo47>

________________________________

When we surveyed RootsAction supporters nineteen months ago, more than 80 percent said they wanted Senator Bernie Sanders to run for president.

That wish has come true. With a strong grassroots campaign, Bernie is eloquent as he denounces corporate power, economic inequality and ?oligarchy.?

But he?s saying very little about crucial issues of war, militarism and foreign policy.

Militarism and oligarchy go together. Click here to urge Bernie Sanders to say so.<http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=XGICw4Z4eTFSGloZFEO3aAa31%2FtLYo47>

As of now, on his campaign?s official website, the page headlined ?Bernie Sanders: On the Issues? says nothing at all about foreign policy, war or any other such topics.

So far, Bernie?s stump speech hardly mentions the huge military budget -- and does not talk about how it is a massive roadblock for the scale of public investment in education, infrastructure and jobs that he is advocating.

Click here and put your name on the petition we?re launching today -- ?Bernie Sanders, Speak Up: Militarism and Corporate Power Are Fueling Each Other.?<http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=RLYDBnPomnaWfFdfrM6sOwa31%2FtLYo47>

While invoking the name and spirit of Martin Luther King Jr., so far in this campaign Bernie has detoured around Dr. King?s essential antiwar message.

Just days ago, Bernie addressed the organization that King led, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. The long speech was eloquent, but you?d never know from it that the United States is now in its fourteenth year of continuous warfare. In fact, the only time Bernie?s speech used the word ?war? was in the phrase ?war on drugs.? The only mention of the war industry was a two-second reference to the ?military-industrial complex.?

Bernie?s speech to the SCLC paid resounding tribute to Dr. King but made no mention of his antiwar leadership. From Bernie?s speech, you wouldn?t have a clue that King explicitly and emphatically linked the issues of economic injustice at home with war abroad.

Bernie Sanders is one of only two sitting U.S. senators who joined the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, where King spoke about his dream. King?s life was cut short five years later as he campaigned for expanded federal programs and a ?poor people?s bill of rights? -- not only organizing for economic uplift but also an end to what he called ?the madness of militarism.?

Click here to urge Bernie Sanders not to bypass this pivotal truth: Adequate funds for programs of economic equity and social justice will require an end to the ?madness of militarism? that persists today.<http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=dXZz43XNwndMJSA57uLp1Aa31%2FtLYo47>

Ongoing war and huge military spending continue to be deeply enmeshed with basic economic ills from upside-down priorities. As the National Priorities Project has documented, 54 percent of the U.S. government?s discretionary spending now goes to military purposes.

To urge Bernie to make clear on the campaign trail how corporate power and the nation?s war machinery are fueling each other, click here.<http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=RWFs97hz4%2FEuSmzjGhpU0ga31%2FtLYo47>

Overcoming militarism is just as vital as overcoming oligarchy. We won?t be able to do one without the other.

Thank you!

After signing the petition, please forward this message to your friends. You can also share it from the webpage after taking the action yourself.

This work is only possible with your financial support. Please chip in $3 now. <http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=7GZXjWbfOQ0jo%2F7nT0%2B83wa31%2FtLYo47>

Dear Ann,

Rare pygmy forests in Mendocino are at risk of becoming trashed with a waste transfer facility, and we need your help to send a message to decision-makers that we value our rare ecosystems.

<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=QQBfO0EMa%2F3N%2BV%2FQy5P9ra2qSn%2FYlQhl>

Take Action:<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=PA9j8e0TE4GMBO8EmgdcW62qSn%2FYlQhl> Would you trade rare state park forestland for a defunct waste transfer station? Neither would we. Yet, that's what the County of Mendocino and the City of Fort Bragg are poised to do. In a complicated three-way land swap proposal, 12.6 acres of rare Russian Gulch State Parks forestland would be transferred to Jackson Demonstration State Forest, which would then transfer 17 acres of its property to the city and county for development of the Mendocino Central Coast Waste Transfer Station. State Parks would then have the option of acquiring 60 acres of county and city property, formerly the site of the Caspar Landfill and waste transfer station. <http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=1SOcm08m65xxFSeGFXmalq2qSn%2FYlQhl>

Click here to take action and tell Mendocino Board of Supervisors and the Fort Bragg City Council that you value rare pygmy forests, and they should remain protected, not converted into a waste station.<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=PxuwJoRqNzboWXmQMi2qGK2qSn%2FYlQhl>

Last month's storms in the North Coast resulted in hundreds of lightning strikes igniting forest fires across the region and throughout the Pacific Northwest. Now a combined total of approximately 102,755 acres are burning on the Shasta-Trinity and Six Rivers National Forests. Thousands of fire fighters are on the ground, some in an effort to protect life and property and others are in the wilderness and backcountry. Fire suppression and the military style of firefighting can be more environmentally destructive than wildfire itself.

The work to protect the last remaining Pacific fishers has taken a half-step forward and a half-step back.  The Pacific fisher-a small and rare carnivore that depends on old forests in California-is in dire need of protection. Fishers have been extirpated from the majority of the West Coast; California's forests represent their last remaining significant populations. To recover the species across their historic range, we need to first protect the last remaining California fishers.  Click here to read about the decision the California Fish and Game Commission made last Wednesday regarding the fisher.<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=G5sXvyrdnZqZM4wqt7Qv4a2qSn%2FYlQhl>

Subject: [Occupymendocino] Minutes of 8/1/15 Meeting
Message-ID: <BLUPR13MB0243BF32A054315569A4F9D3DD7E0@BLUPR13MB0243.namprd13.prod.outlook.com>

Present: Bob Lane, Agnes Woolsey, Dan Baker, Jinx Bridges, Ann, Richard Karch, Irene Malone


- Vendana Shiva Event at Willits Grange Sept 7, 15.  This is a benefit for the Charter of Mendocino project.  We will carpool, volunteers are needed.  Robin Sunbeam is organizing a silent auction and needs donations and folks to work at issuing tickets, pricing minimum bids, setting up, etc.  We will also have a food table for potluck items that needs to be kept clean and restocked, a clean-up crew, and some folks to run a beverage table.  Many donations are coming in, more are wanted if you have something of value to offer.  Agnes made a motion that we print the Tri-Fold about the Charter and we voted to order 100 color prints at Mendo Litho for 52 cents each, including tax.  Motion carried unanimously.  We also need yard signs, donations for ads, and more.  This is how we helped our ballot measure S pass to ban fracking based on community rights.


- Hwy Cleanup will be from 10-12 on Tues Aug 18th, which is a better day to be on the Hwy than busy Saturdays.  Ann, Dan, Irene, Jinx, Sheila will do.


-  Report on the Democrats potluck and Bernie Sanders video event at the Sr. Center.  There were 3,800 events around the same night, some were house parties, and the total number of folks that heard Bernie's message was around 100,000.  He has unprecedented following and has moved Hillary to the left.  Our Assemblyman Jim Woods spoke, had done a flyover of the forests and was alarmed by all the dead standing trees, the drought conditions, and spoke about his bill to stop unregulated marijuana grows from illegal water diversions and messes.  There is another problem he did not address about "Hack and Squirt" by MRC.  He took some questions from the audience, and Ann asked him what it would take to persuade Gov. Brown to stop the fracking during this epic drought.  He thinks that Brown is too entrenched in the oil money he has taken and since he is not running for another term, is intractable on the issue.  It is up to Counties like ours to pass bans, or to vote for a candidate who will act. It is disappointing as Brown is one who made a climate pledge.


- We discussed the memorial for Howard on Sept 21st, the International Day of Peace.  We will do a tree planting with a dedication to Howard as a lifelong peacemaker, and set up an annual Peace Award in Howard's name.  Zac is to be the first recipient, and we will get a redwood plaque to put engraved names of recipients on.  The tree is a Maple that will be placed in the small garden next to our meeting room, to be dedicated as the Peace Garden.  There is a hospital ceremony at noon on Sept 21, so we will do our ceremony at 2pm.


- Hospitality House update - The project to provide mental health services for homeless clients in the Old Coast Hotel was not stopped by the opponents, Concerned Citizens of Ft Bragg, because the petition they circulated did not gather enough valid signatures.   Their lawsuit was overturned by Judge Henderson.  Block Grant funds went through and escrow is proceeding.  The Hospitality House will start soon to build partitions for offices for mental screenings, job training, exercise classes, job coaching, and they are opening a juice and coffee bar to train people to work and serve the public.  There will be transitional housing units in five of the upstairs rooms.  No meals or showers will be offered there, they will go to the Hospitality Center on Harrison for those services.  It will have strict rules of compliance and cleanliness so the concerned neighbors will not complain.  Ortner is still the County's mental health provider, and hopefully they will report on how many they assist and the rate of success.  So far Tom Pizzollini, a former employee of Ortner, is the person doing the reporting and it has been scanty.  Smells like a conflict of interest, as the Grand Jury pointed out.


- Labor Day Parade - after discussing who can participate, we realized that we do not have enough people to hold banners, pass out flyers, and have a good showing.  We did well at the 4th of July Parade because there was a large community contingent, but the day of the Ft Bragg Labor Day Parade there is the Willits event the same day and not a big group to pull this one off.


Meeting adjourned 3:20.  Next meeting Aug 15th 2-4.

Whistleblower Chelsea Manning is now facing the threat of ?*indefinite
solitary confinement*? in prison at Fort Leavenworth, where she is serving
a 35-year sentence for providing WikiLeaks with documentation of a vast
array of war crimes and deception by the U.S. government.

*Click here to sign an emergency petition that will be delivered to prison
authorities before a scheduled hearing early next week.*
<http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=vuW51WjLL4HGSKq4uEiG6592EB%2BbdNWe>

After you?ve signed the petition, *please share this urgent appeal with
your friends**.*

RootsAction is promoting this petition in solidarity with Chelsea Manning
and in cooperation with other groups supporting her.*Together, we can and
must gather a huge number of signers on this petition -- quickly.*

Please *become a signer now*
<http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=4CvpIAgyW9I1NJMeMUILazIO5OIdnjBD>
--
but don?t stop there. It?s urgent that you forward this message to your
friends right away.

As the petition says, *?Putting any human being in indefinite solitary
confinement is inexcusable, and for offenses as trivial as these (an
expired tube of toothpaste, and possession of magazines?) it is a discredit
to America's military and its system of justice.?*

The petition concludes: *?We demand that these charges against Chelsea
Manning be dropped, and request that Chelsea's hearing on August 18th be
made open to the public, to ensure she is treated fairly."*

*By clicking here, you can add your voice to that demand.*
<http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=hff5BGeVyW0HKLk6lAp%2BijIO5OIdnjBD>

An ACLU attorney just told *BuzzFeed News*, ?Here Chelsea is at risk of
losing various support networks simply because she had *an expired tube of
toothpaste*, the *Vanity Fair *magazine that featured Caitlyn Jenner, and
requested a lawyer when she felt she was being accused of misconduct.?

The *charges against Chelsea are petty, absurd and vindictive*. As Trevor
Timm of the Freedom of the Press Foundation writes, she ?is now being
threatened with ?indefinite solitary confinement? for alleged infractions
that are *so minor it's actually hard to believe*.?

If justice had prevailed, Chelsea Manning would never have spent a day in
prison -- let alone enduring official abuse that began with prolonged
solitary confinement before trial that amounted to torture.

*Chelsea Manning deserves our undying gratitude and support* for bravely
informing all of us about terrible realities, with evidence like the
infamous ?Collateral Murder? video that showed the flippant and callous
killing of unarmed civilians in Baghdad from U.S. military aircraft.

*Help the petition take off today.*
<http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=NebZiPHzOCPtkLCnpqBaPjIO5OIdnjBD>

Chelsea has already paid a huge personal price for her *moral courage*. Now
the government is ramping up persecution with charges that range from
ridiculous to repressive to preposterous.

*Time is short.* The hearing that could lead to ?indefinite solitary
confinement? for Chelsea Manning is fast approaching. Please take a minute
to follow up on signing the petition by sharing it with everyone you know
who appreciates what Chelsea has done to help make this a better world.

*The petition*
<http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=KcmUqo7GjDIRIAJ99ezZRTIO5OIdnjBD>
needs
your name and your help.

Thank you!

Subject: [Occupymendocino] prison phone rates
Message-ID: <5CAD1BD3-33E6-4BA1-B260-E1ABD8498F04@mcn.org>

Dear

Bethany Fraser struggled to pay the bills while her husband was incarcerated. The mother of two made it a priority to maintain telephone contact between her children and their father while he served a ten-year prison sentence, but the phone calls to keep them connected cost more than she spent on food and utilities every month.1 By the end of her husband?s sentence, she had moved her family three times, each time to a smaller home so that she could stay afloat financially. Bethany knew that no parent or significant other should have to do what she did, which is why she joined The Campaign for Prison Phone Justice and a coalition of organizations including ColorofChange that have been leading this fight for more than a decade.

It's a fight that thousands of ColorofChange members have also joined by raising their voices about the predatory prison phone rates that impact millions of families with incarcerated loved ones. For years, prison phone companies got rich off the backs of a captive audience, charging families rates as high as $17 for a 15-minute call.2 After hearing from you, the Federal Communications Commission took the huge step of capping long-distance prison calls at a max rate of $3.75.3

But our work is not done. Local and state governments still continue to receive massive kickbacks from prison phone companies in exchange for exclusive contracts. These kickbacks are subsidized by sky-high fees companies levy on families?mostly black and brown?fighting to stay connected to loved ones. While the FCC rule limited kickbacks and capped long-distance calls, those calls are only a fraction of the service provided by prison phone companies. Families need rules that cap sky-high phone rates on local calls to prisons, too.

Families should not be subsidizing states' penal budgets and padding the pockets of phone companies.

Tell the FCC to stop predatory prison phone rates once and for all by capping in-state calls at the lowest rate possible.

inappropriate dismissal of Dr. Harris.  We need her here.
Thanks.

To the Patients of Dr. Diane Harris
by Dr. Diane Harris
 
            North Coast Family Health Center (NCFHC) has been putting out a great deal of misinformation. Patients have been told things that cause them concern. It is not true, as patients have been told, that I have taken a medical leave. I do not have a medical issue; you do not need to worry about my health. Nor is it true that I just suddenly abandoned my patients, as one irate patient was told. The various stories patients have been told do not make sense to them. I, too, can make no sense of this. I am not trying to give you a one-sided account or hiding something I know that would explain this.
            The real story is that NCFHC and Mendocino Coast District Hospital (MCDH) administration waited until the last minute to begin contract renewal discussions. Four days before the end of the existing contract, I was told by MCDH CEO, Bob Edwards, to just ?suck it up? and sign it. The situation came down to 2 days before the end of the contract with three doctors unwilling to sign the new contract. On that day, I requested to see the latest version of the contract and Ilona Horton (NCFHC administrator) refused to give it to me saying that she and Bob Edwards decided to let my contract expire, and that they weren't going to negotiate with me any more. The next day I found out that the MCDH Board met in emergency session and gave the two other doctors who also wouldn't sign the contract a 60 day extension on their contract for further negotiations. I asked the Chair of the Board to schedule a special meeting to extend my contract in the same manner. My request was declined.
            The administration didn't consider the effects of their actions on my patients, myself and my family, and on the community. Patients have had multiple reactions to the news of disruption of continuity of THEIR care. They like me and are very supportive of me. But they are flummoxed, furious and frustrated, deeply distressed and disoriented. They have said the following: The lack of consideration for the patients is immoral. What is glaringly absent is a focus or concern for the sacrosanct relationship between doctor and patient, and the healing process. I have found Dr. Harris to be knowledgeable, agreeable, and helpful. Clearly she is smart and patient-centric. I have valued my sessions with her and feel she is one of the best doctors in the area. It is incomprehensible that the administration would allow this to happen.
            I love being a doctor and love taking care of people. My patients depend on me and I do not want to let them down. I would not terminate my care of my patients in this sudden way. I enjoy and want to maintain those relationships? some of 23 years duration. I also want to acknowledge the support, trust and respect I have been given over the years by my patients and the community.
            I am working to be available to patients in this community and continue my commitment to my patients, and the community.
            The actions of the administration do not reflect the spirit of our community. There is a Hospital Board meeting on August 27 if you wish to speak your thoughts to the Board. The meeting is scheduled for 6pm in the Redwoods Room at the Hospital. Ask for an explanation so we can all understand why this happened. You could

*IRAQ: As ISIS atrocities denounced, human rights abuses of Iraqi forces
underreported*

by Harmeet Sooden

[Note: Sooden's piece has been adapted for CPTnet.  The original appeared
in *The New Zealand Herald.
<http://www.nzherald.co.nz/opinion/news/article.cfm?c_id=466&objectid=11498976>*

Iraq's civilians are caught between Scylla and Charybdis
<https://odysseustracks.wordpress.com/following-odysseus-footprints/step-9-scylla-and-charybdis/>?between
two dire alternatives: on the one side, opposition groups including ISIS;
on the other, the US-led coalition and Iran. While human rights violations
committed by ISIS are widely condemned, those committed coalition partners,
including Iraq, are underreported.

Since the beginning of the conflict, human rights organisations have been
implicating coalition members in human rights violations that may
constitute war crimes. Major coalition contributors such as the US, Britain
and Australia have a poor human rights record in Iraq. The Iraqi
Government, in particular, is responsible for widespread abuses, mainly
against Iraq's Sunni population.
Harmeet Sooden (second from left) interviewing a displaced Iraqi family in
Arbat IDP Camp in May. Iraqi forces
displaced up to 85 per cent of the camp?s 17,300 residents.

Iraqi security forces have engaged in torture, hostage-taking, and summary
execution
<http://www.hrw.org/news/2015/03/17/how-iraqi-forces-are-destroying-their-own-best-shot-peace>
of
civilians, including women and children; beheading, lynching, and
immolating captives, desecrating corpses, and celebrating the atrocities in
photographs and videos posted online; looting and wanton destruction of
property
<https://www.hrw.org/report/2015/03/18/after-liberation-came-destruction/iraqi-militias-and-aftermath-amerli>,
and shelling and bombing residential areas and hospitals. Iraqi and Kurdish
authorities sometimes prevent families fleeing the fighting from reaching
safer parts of the country. Iraqi forces have also established "death zones
<http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/12/17/us-mideast-crisis-baghdad-specialreport-idUSKBN0JV10J20141217>"
around Baghdad.

Coalition airstrikes often precede abuses by Iraqi forces. Not only are the
airstrikes effectively providing cover for what appears to be ethnic
cleansing
<http://foreignpolicy.com/2015/03/28/the-united-states-is-providing-air-cover-for-ethnic-cleansing-in-iraq-shiite-militias-isis/>
in
areas re-captured from ISIS, but they are also directly causing civilian
deaths that may amount to war crimes. According to the Red Cross, the
airstrikes are compounding the humanitarian consequences of the conflict.

UN agencies warn that Iraq is "on the brink of humanitarian disaster" due
to the escalating conflict between the US-led coalition and opposition
forces, and the severe shortfall in international funding. At least 3.1
million Iraqis have been internally displaced since January 2014. A total
of 8.2 million people now require immediate humanitarian support.

The situation has deteriorated to the point where "[a]uthorities in Iraqi
Kurdistan suspect that displaced people are selling their kidneys to feed
their families." At the same time, it is becoming increasingly dangerous
<http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/09/24/us-ngo-risks-idUSKCN0HJ0VV20140924>
for
humanitarian workers to carry out their work.

The UN has concluded that civilians are the primary targets
<http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/07/report-civilians-main-target-iraq-conflict-150713074526495.html>
of
the conflict in Iraq.

In late June, New Zealand's Task Group Taji completed its first eight-week
training course for troops from the 76th Brigade, a formation within the
Iraqi Army's 16th Division. The division was formed to replace the
US-trained units that collapsed in 2014 when ISIS seized the Mosul region.
It is composed of new recruits as well as soldiers who fled during last
year's assault.

The training cannot address the root causes of the coalition's human rights
violations, including the structural corruption and sectarianism
<http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/iraq-crisis-west-must-take-up-tehrans-offer-to-block-an-isis-victory-9537866.html>
introduced
into Iraq's military and state institutions after the 2003 US-led invasion.
As the 76th Brigade deploys to the frontline, possibly to join the Ramadi
offensive, the NZDF cannot eliminate the risk of the training offering the
Iraqi army greater means to worsen the human rights situation.

Several Iraqi soldiers receiving training at Taji have openly told
journalists
<http://www.wsj.com/articles/some-iraqi-troops-moonlight-with-militias-1428881598>
that
"they actively served on their days off with Shiite militia - some...still
listed by the US as terrorist groups", some also sponsored by Iran. The UN
has reported pro-government militias, including the popular mobilisation
forces (PMF), "seem to operate with total impunity, leaving a trail of
death and destruction in their wake" that often rivals the depredations of
ISIS.

UNICEF has confirmed
<http://unispal.un.org/UNISPAL.NSF/0/CBDDCE1B91133BFD85257E61005746D0> reports
of militias from all sides, including those supported by the Iraqi
Government, recruiting children. The PMF is reportedly
<http://www.cbsnews.com/news/iraq-shiite-militia-summer-camps-teens-learn-combat-techniques-isis/>
providing
combat training to children in summer camps established throughout the
country. Militias fighting alongside Iraqi and Kurdish forces are using
armed boys and girls on the frontline - some as young as ten.  Enlisting
children under the age of fifteen or using them to engage in hostilities is
a war crime.

Sectarian abuses continue unabated under the government of the new Iraqi
leader, Haider al-Abadi. Yet, the New Zealand Government insists on backing
<http://www.nbr.co.nz/article/nz-%E2%80%98confident%E2%80%99-iraqi-government-and-soldiers-brownlee-says-173825>
a
regime that is showing little regard for civilians. When coalition forces
were poised to re-conquer Tikrit in March, Prime Minister al-Abadi said in
a speech to the Iraqi parliament: "There is no neutrality in the battle
against ISIS. If someone is being neutral with ISIS, then he is one of
them." His words epitomise the dilemma civilians face in areas where ISIS
is active.

 There is a straightforward way New Zealand can begin to protect the people

The Arctic Is On The Brink: Here?s Why You Should Care 

Aug 27, 2015 | By 
CAP Action War Room 

The Arctic Is Melting And It Will Affect Everyone, Not Just Polar Bears 
The Arctic is melting fast and that?s bad for everyone, not just the polar bears. As part of his continued push for climate action, President Obama will visit Alaska next week to draw attention to the Arctic and the effect of climate change on the region. On Monday in Anchorage, the president and Secretary of State Kerry will host GLACIER, a climate change conference where world leaders will discuss strategies to address rapid regional warming and advance ideas for strengthening Arctic community resilience. 

The overall goal of the visit is to highlight the fact that the effects of Arctic warming?accelerated by climate change?will extend far beyond the region itself. Our colleagues at CAP created this explainer video, which illustrates (literally) why you should care that the Arctic is melting. Here are a few of the key points: 

The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. This rapid warming is causing glaciers, sea ice, and Greenland?s massive ice shelf to melt. Runoff from all this melting is causing sea levels to rise, maybe even faster than we originally predicted. Sea levels have already risen 8 inches and could rise another 4 feet by the end of the century. 
Communities across the globe are at risk of costly or devastating flooding. In the United States, 123 million people, the majority in the lower 48 states, are at risk of sea level rise from Arctic melting. For people who live in the Arctic the situation is even grimmer as the sea ice that provides a buffer for coastal communities from severe storms is melting away. More than 30 Alaska Native villages are experiencing flooding and erosion and are literally at risk of sliding into rising waters. 
Wildfires in the region could lead to more carbon emissions. This summer, record wildfires have burned over 5 million acres in Alaska. These fires can thaw pre-historic permafrost, which is responsible for storing carbon. As a result, thawing permafrost could increase the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere, accelerating global climate change even further. 
But there is action that can be taken to avoid the worst effects of Arctic warming: 

Secure a strong global climate deal in Paris. At the December United Nations climate change conference in Paris, over 190 countries will work to reach a global climate deal to avoid catastrophic warming. Only time can tell how strong an international pact to reduce greenhouse gas emissions may be. A solid and ambitious agreement will not only slow overall climate change, but will also protect the fastest warming region on Earth: the Arctic. 
Cut black carbon and methane pollution. Black carbon, or soot, from eight Arctic nations is responsible for one-third of the recent Arctic warming. That means the remaining two-thirds of Arctic warming due to black carbon emissions comes from the rest of the world, highlighting the need for global action to cut black carbon, which comes from the burning of fossil fuels. Methane, which also comes from fossil fuel combustion, is a greenhouse gas even more potent than carbon dioxide. Committing to cut short-lived climate pollutants like black carbon and methane is one of the fastest ways world leaders can slow melting in the Arctic. After all, continued sea ice melt is encouraging increased oil and gas development? and more climate change culprits. 

Arctic warming matters. 

BOTTOM LINE: Melting ice caps and rising seas may sound like far-off problems that will have an isolated impact. But the fact that the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet is bad news for everyone, not just the region?s people and wildlife.

      Clear Channel just rejected an UltraViolet billboard featuring Sandra
   Bland.

   Can you take just a minute to call Clear Channel and tell them to stop
   silencing those standing up for justice?

   Here's the number to call:

                         Clear Channel Outdoor Houston

                                 (281) 588-4200

                                 [1]click here

   Dear Nancy,

   Clear Channel is standing in the way of justice for Sandra Bland, a Black
   woman found dead in police custody over a month ago.

   The ad agency rejected an UltraViolet billboard calling for the Waller
   County District Attorney to prosecute State Trooper Brian Encinia--who
   unlawfully arrested Bland. Public awareness is critical to holding law
   enforcement accountable, and with this decision, Clear Channel is helping
   local law enforcement avoid accountability in Bland's death.

   That's why we're demanding Clear Channel allow the billboard to run and
   stop silencing our calls for justice. We've done it before: When
   UltraViolet members called Clear Channel offices demanding they stop
   censoring women's health billboards, we won.^1 If thousands of us call
   Clear Channel today, they'll be forced to listen.

   Can you make a quick call to Clear Channel's office today?

   Here's the number to call:

     * Clear Channel Outdoor Houston, (281) 588-4200

   [3]After you call, click here to let us know how it went, so we can track
   our progress together.

   It's always best to speak in your own words, but here are some bullet
   points that can guide you.

   Tell Clear Channel to stop silencing the calls for justice for Sandra
   Bland because:

     * Sandra Bland does deserve justice. And part of that is prosecuting the
       officer who wrongfully arrested her in the first place.

     * Which side is Clear Channel on? By shutting down our billboard Clear
       Channel is helping local law enforcement avoid accountability in
       Bland's death.

     * The world is watching. Over 500,000 people are calling for justice for
       Sandra Bland, Clear Channel shouldn't silence them.

   [4]Will you make the call now?

   Thanks for speaking out.

   --Nita, Shaunna, Kat, Karin, Adam, Holly, Kaili, Kathy, Onyi, Susan,
   Clarise, Anathea, Audine, Ryan, Shannon, and Vanessa, the UltraViolet team
