Fish or Foul on the Klamath River

The Department of Interior plans to destroy four dams on the Klamath River in Northern California so salmon can swim further than 180 miles up the river. But these dams provide water and flood protection to thousands of humans who also live along the river. Clean energy from these hydro dams supply electricity to 70,000 residents in the area. Despite a lack of scientific evidence that dam removal will help the fish, or any study on the human impact of dam removal, the DOI is pressing forward to have the dams destroyed. When their own scientist, Dr. Paul Houser, questions the science - he gets fired.

**A single township doesn’t stand much chance against global green groups like “The Waterkeepers” who are heavily funded by the Kennedy family and others.**

We are dealing with that where I live. We have a small sural population trying to hold on to our freedom against well funded NGOs and a department of ecology run by environmental activists. It is hard to fight them and even harder to bring people in to understand the issues and join the effort.

They aren't all that numerous but they go out of their way to appear that way. Its the same dozen or so people who go to all the different townships and are members of different groups and portray themselves as concerned citizens. I'm sure my name has gone on some lists because I stand and point them out wherever I encounter them.

One local group we face is the Raisin Valley land trust.

The Raisin Valley Land Trust

They have the help of the federal and state government in the sense that landowners get tax breaks for signing on with them. Unfortunately, people miss the small print where it basically renders the property to be useless.

In Jackson Michigan, the EPA encouraged the city to impose a parking lot tax due to rainwater not reaching the ground. When the city asked who would get the money collected the EPA told them to keep it. Needless to say the city was sold on that idea.

Those dams where bought and payed for by the people in the valley. Then the government refused to sign them over and have been trying to run everyone out since then.

Land Trusts are the worst of the worst. They border illegality on most of their deals and are often taking advantage of elderly folks who have been on their lad for decades.

The land trust controlled a little quarter acre woodlot down the street from me till the owner said screw it and allowed the state to take it for back taxes. Then when the land trust was asked if they would take ownership and pay the taxes they dropped it like a hot rock.

They wanted to control it, not be responsible for it.

they get money from the federal government - because of the law suits. What’s wrong with conservatives - this fact has been know for years, nobody stops it and conservatives don’t try to get the money so the tables are turned on washington and the envirowackos.

This sad news came to my email overnight. America has lost a great friend and patriot.

From: Norman Davis

It is with very deep regret that I am informing everyone that Henry Lamb passed away today.

There aren't proper words to describe Henry and what his passing will mean to us all. It was because of Henry that we learned about the encroachments on our property rights, the Biodiversity Treaty and Agenda 21.

Irene Lamb will let me know what arrangements are made at a later time. Henry wanted to be cremated and his wishes will be carried out. We may have a memorial at a later date.

I personally want to say that I have lost a great friend and comrade.

You may view the works of Henry at www.freedom.org and www.freedom21.org..

Please pass this on so that everyone in the Liberty Community will learn of this terrible loss and I am sorry if I missed sending it to anyone.

“Sorry to hear this news” doesn’t express our feelings adequately.

Henry Lamb was a tireless patriot who raised the alarm despite tremendous opposition.

May we do no less.
