Take your opinion to the Polls, not to BBQ

Submitted By: pangaeagaia@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I agree with Kathie Raisler.
BBQ has always had a gentle soul. And although it has raised its voice at times, it has been kind, most of the time.
Take your opinions to the polls, not to BBQ. There is enough hate and consternation on TV and at the table next to you at the restaurant. Don’t spread it to our little community.
Most people know what they support and who, and your SCREAMING only strengthens that support, not changing it one iota.
Thank you, BBQ, for always being there for everyone, even the crazies. But please keep hate out of our community.

What Cannot Be Bought or Sold

In time we come to know, we understand

there is no saving grace in lies and misleading.

Deep and real differences may hold our families;

But there is no saving grace in lies and using

what misleads. Across canyons of time and space,

listening to the voices of trusted elders and

honored friends, “Through love alone will hate be healed.”

Be healed and know we have awakened before,

left behind our ignorance, the delusions of our greed,

hatred, and fear. Slowly, we are abandoning the belief

that a man or woman can own another, assume

or create a relation that does not recognize the

inherent rights and dignity of another. At work

as in marriage, community, and state relations

this entitlement is now a birthright, an achievement

of what is best in all of us. We are awakening, slowly

reaching the understanding that war is not a sustainable

choice. The war in Vietnam, the war in Iraq, wherever

we may look, we are coming to know that war profits

a small minority of citizens. We have heard all their lies,

the reasons why our sons and daughters must continue to die,

why those of us who have the most merit further incentives

to accumulate even more. There is no saving grace in being

misled. We are also awakening to the fragile gift of democracy,

how your voice and vote is equal to all others. Will it ever be

easy to recognize and accept how we have been used?

Each of us knows the answer to this common experience.

But as the typhoons come and the tornados grow stronger, as

species extinction accelerates, and our divorce rates incline,

as our coastal cities submerge and our elders die of unrelenting
heat, we can awaken, recognize how we have been used.

What comes to mind when I hear their notion that we should

deport millions of our brothers and sisters seeking as we have

sought a better life, or listen to their war cry, drill baby drill,

what comes to mind is, “They just let you do it.”

Request to Aviod Political Messages

Submitted By: eagles789@comcast.net – Click to email about this post
In the light of the diverse opinions and potential for discord surrounding political topics, I kindly ask that BBQ refrain from posting political messages on this board, Our goal is to maintain a positive and inclusive environment where everyone feels comfortable and respected. I hope there are others out there that concur with this assessment.
Thank you or your consideration in this matter.

GRID FAIL!

Submitted By: runnawaytrain1@gmx.com – Click to email about this post
This morning’s headlines on Drudge. (Below)

I think it VERY likely we will VERY soon wake up to a total grid down scenario. This might be due to a hack, a mistake, because of the war Democrats are trying to start, or an intentional grid-collapse by the DEMOCRAT WHO JUST TRIED TO MURDER TRUMP. This new brand of murderous Democrat will do anything to get their war with Russia.

In a grid-down scenario, most will die within 30 days.

Clean water will be an issue. So in addition to having ON-HAND EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO LIVE FOR 30 DAYS, also consider taking Kim Miller’s clean-water/emergency scenario WASH class at Nehelam Bay Fire Rescue?

Next classes:

9/14
10/26
11/23

Here are todays headlines on Drudge. If this doesn’t get you prepping, don’t come knocking on my door:

Tech Outage Hits Banks, Airlines, Firms Worldwide… Developing…
MICROSOFT CRASH WREAKS HAVOC…
Most serious IT faliure ever seen… Plunged into dark ages…
Heath care providers report problems with patient services…
Huge hospital group forced to cancel surgeries…
CROWDSTRIKE says not cyberattack; Fix deployed…
‘Could take weeks’ to repair…

Worth noting that Bill Gates’ (reduce population NOW!) Microsoft is the progenitor of this deadly chaos, which will see many die. And this outage is minor.

I have stated my opinion about this on this site, and I will state again that I believe it is quite foolish to remain unprepared for a grid-fail scenario. If you keep 30 days worth of stuff in your garage, clean water, food, medicine, you will have a great chance of making it 30 days with no cash-registers, no gasoline for you car, no electricity, etc.

Friends of NCRD Flowers for Sale

Submitted By: pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Starting tomorrow, Thursday, Friends of North County Recreation District (NCRD) will be selling flowers at the Little Apple Grocery Store in Manzanita. The flowers are picked fresh each morning and taken to the store about 10 AM. Tomorrow’s flowers are being done by Jessie and Shirley, representatives of 1st Security Bank. As long as we have flowers and arrangers, we will have fresh flowers for you at that location 7 days a week. We might miss a few days due to lack of flowers.

Over the years, Friends of NCRD has been able to provide $14,000 for scholarships-about half of which go to the Youth Department at NCRD. Studies have shown kids who attend preschool or after school programs are ahead of the game in academics and social skills. Friends want to do the best we can with our younger generations as they will be taking care of us someday. By supporting our flower sales, we are supporting our kids, who in turn will be supporting us. Thanks!

FOR LOVE OF FRIENDS

For love of Friends of NCRD, our North County Community has been extraordinarily generous with donations and fundraising this past year (July 2023 – June 2024). With love for our Community’s families, Friends has met its Mission to support NCRD programs and provide scholarships to encourage inclusion for all.

More than $14,000 in scholarships – with over half going to the Youth Department – have been given to NCRD families. Summer months are when our Youth Department and Youth Sports Program have the highest needs, and we expect an increase in scholarship needs in the Fall. With gratitude and appreciation for our many dedicated volunteers, Friends of NCRD is now reaching out to the community in another way.

As we start the new fiscal year, Friends of NCRD is calling on community members to fill Board positions. We need several dedicated Board members to help guide our Mission. For love of NCRD and Friends’ Mission, IS THAT YOU?

Geraldo Rivera, circa 1975

Submitted By: runnawaytrain1@gmx.com – Click to email about this post
African-American activist Dick Gregory brought the Zapruder film to Geraldo in 1975; JFK was shot in 1963.

The film, the only copy, was shot on super 8 by a civilian, and then was hidden from the world by the D.C. spook crowd for 12 years. Only the spooks got to watch the film for 12 years.

How come the spooks didn’t want folks to see the film and kept it hidden for 12 years?

Because in the film you can clearly see JFK being shot in the FRONT of his throat, which he clutches, and then you can clearly sees his head snapping BACKWARDS, and brain debris coming out of the BACK of his head, after the shots were fired from in FRONT of him. And then you can see Jackie climb onto the BACK of the limo to retrieve her dead husband’s brain debris.

Why is all of this important? Why was the film hidden from Americans and the rest of the world by the spooks for 12 years?

Because the spooks told us that Oswald was BEHIND JFK shooting, and the shots clearly, as seen in the film, were fired from in FRONT of JFK.

Watch the film and see for yourself. (Or, just go on a beach walk instead?)

Why the murder of JFK is STILL important, is because it helps us understand current events, like the attempted murder of Trump the other day:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxCH1yhGG3Q

And below is another significant motion-picture of shots being fired at a president.

Two-minutes is plenty of time for the SS to have prevented the shots, in this context, in my view.

Also, consider that the SS has a top view (satellites) and the guy on the roof would have been clearly seen via satellite:

x.com/TheMilkBarTV/status/1812731727053488418

I believe the primary motivation for JFKs murder was to turn the Vietnam situation into a BIG WAR (which JFK didn’t want), and make billions of dollars destroying that country (talk about an environmental disaster!) while killing 2-million of its citizens.

I believe the primary motivation for RFK’s murder was the same, a continuation of the BIG WAR Johnson started days after JFK’s murder.

I believe the primary motivation for the attempted murder of Trump was the same, except Trump isn’t trying to stop them (CIA, military-industrial-complex) from destroying Vietnam, he is trying to stop them from expanding the Dems’ Ukraine ‘operation’ (started by Obama in 2014 when he overthrew Ukraine) into World War Three, which is 100% the plan the Dems have going forward. World War! World War! So much suffering! Yay!!!!!!!

Every Dem potential candidate will propel us right into World War Three. And every Repub other than Trump will propel us right into World War Three.

RFK, Jr. won’t get us into World War Three, but the Dem elite (vax-whores, war-pigs), the Obama/Clinton crime families, don’t even want you to hear what RFK, Jr. has to say. I wonder why?

The Dem elite care as much about their voters as Bud Light does Dylan Mulvaney: NOT AT ALL!

The only way to stop World War Three is to elect Donald Trump. Tough medicine, but it might just save your life.

It’s the way of peace and love, Trump is the only anti-war choice. I know, I know, tough medicine to swallow!

But please join me, won’t you?

MAGA!!!!!!!

NO WORLD WAR!!!!!

TRUMP ’24!!!!!!!!

These Ukrainians don’t want to die for you and Zelensky and Lynsie Graham. I don’t blame them. I, too, would rather drown fleeing then die for you in a senseless war, started by NATO pigs:

Thank You Manzanita Transfer Station Employees!!!

Submitted By: badplaceforastump@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I want to let the workers at the transfer station (I haven’t lived here long enough to call it CARTM) know how much I appreciate them. Though they’ve been hit by illness and weren’t open Thursday, they’ve been open the past two days, which I don’t think has been all that easy. In normal times I really enjoy going there, as they are a fine, fine bunch of folks, but to be able to do a few dump runs when they are not at full strength makes me appreciate them all the more!

Bill Clinton’s motorcade/1995

Submitted By: runnawaytrain1@gmx.com – Click to email about this post
I drove the White House Press Corp in a 15-passenger van during then President Bill Clinton’s motorcade, while he vacationed in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Bill played golf one day with James Wolfenson, who ran the World Bank at the time. Bill stayed at a senator Rockefeller’s (WVA, VA?) house in Jackson during his vacation. Day one, a C-130 (?) flew in the huge amount of survellence gear: truck loads, plane loads. On the golf day, a local Jackson dude was innocently on his roof, a long ways away, watching Clinton golf, with a rifle scope but with no rifle attached. He was far, far away and just wanted to watch. The SS got on his ass real quick, and he wasn’t even trying to shoot Clinton. He was let go, but damn them SS boys and girls are real good…when they want to be. (Most are patriots).
The SS was also very much complicit in the murders of JFK and RFK.
Like the Kennedy boys, Trump isn’t on board with their (CIA, military-industrial-complex, etc.) wars, this one being world war three via Russia. Trump ain’t on bard with a hot war with Russia. AND WE SHOULD ALL THANK HIM FOR THAT!!!!!
Looks to me like the SS let the shots at Trump fire. Trump has his own private security, but they are resourcefully-dwarfed compared tp the SS, who coulda/shoulda seen the guy on the roof – real close! – who shot Trump today, he was WAY closer to Trump than the guy with the scope in Wyoming that day:

Independent Presidential Candidate

Submitted By: Tevisdiii@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
This link gives a general history of Robert Kennedy’s Jr’s background since the mid 80’s:

www.kennedy24.com/about

He has a podcast on Spotify interviewing many people who also reflect where he stands on issues.

His attention and concern for the environment, the Children’s Health Defense Council that he started, His proposal of positive ways to create regenerative agriculture, and his desire to end all the endless WARS and bring back that huge chunk of our tax dollars to our citizens to create a healthier society here feeds optimism to my mind and spirit.

Independent candidates haven’t been taken very seriously in the past in FEAR of taking votes away from the 2 party system. However:

Social media has helped even the playing field, and with the common thread of a strong desire for positive change, this Candidate deserves a consideration.

i just want to say that i am in 100% agreement about signing opinion posts.

after all, your opinion is worth more, or less, depending on who you are. we each have whatever amount of credibility from living in this north county community, and that makes a difference whether someone is going to listen to you.

if an opinion piece is unsigned, i give it no attention.

SAVE THE PLANET FOR WHO?

Submitted By: dixiegainer@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The United States has joined 12 other nations in signing a World Economic Forum (WEF) agreement that seeks to engineer global famine by destroying the agriculture industry.
AND THE USA IS ONE OF THEM!
www.globalresearch.ca/13-nations-sign-agreement-engineer-global-famine/5860390
read the article here:

According to the agreement, which was drawn up by the WEF and the United Nations (UN), food production is causing “global warming” and must be eliminated.
To “save the planet” from “climate change,” globalists insist, farms must be shut down across the world.

In other words – to save the planet we have to die of starvation- which is happening in many parts of the world now. The hype of bird flu is just one of the weapons used to accomplish this.
So why would people want to save the planet if most of us will die of starvation? Just who are we saving the planet for?
Cut the water – get rid of the farmer – watch for this in your Oregon legislature – already being tried in Idaho and elsewhere.

What does it take to get into Club Manzanita?

Submitted By: judysugg@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Given the posts about Club Manzanita, I was curious about the guidelines for joining. This is what I discovered:
• You have to care about Manzanita and our area.
• You must be willing to be thoughtful about the issues affecting the city.
• When a decision is made, be willing to move forward.
• You have to consider the city ours, not mine, and not yours.
• You have to be willing to focus on the future and not the past.
• Change will happen and when you don’t like it, that’s fine, but talk respectfully to others.
• Feel free to run for office, and if you don’t win, be gracious, not resentful.
• Respect the many hundreds of volunteers at the city and area’s organizations. In fact, celebrate them for their problem-solving skills, patience, grace in communication, and diligence. Wow, they do a lot of work.
• Enjoy the fantastic place we live in and work to make it a better, kinder, more inclusive place.
