I cannot blame most.
They have been educated in
state schools to become
“human resources.” And hu-
man resources they are in-
deed. Who can argue that?
Here is a chance to find
the truth. It could be de-
manded that District Attorney
Steven D. Campbell and/or
the presiding judge answer
the questions once and for all
of jurisdiction accompanied
by affidavit over Raymond
Ronald Karczewski© or any
other man who has the audac-
ity to stand up to public ser-
vants who have usurped their
power from the real govern-
ment, the Sovereign People of
America.
Our public officials are
currently on the hook for
commercial default in excess
of $40 million in State of
Oregon and Josephine
County taxpayers money. Is
that the behavior of responsi-
ble stewards of our money?
Of course, sticking one’s
head in the sand is and al-
ways has been the favored
option of cowards and slaves.
The future lies in your
own hands.
government’s involvement in
the mass murder of 9/11/01,
makes me more nervous
these days as the leaps and
bounds made in the erosion of
the sovereignty or the person,
if you will, of the “United
States” of America. Again,
I’ll say that while I have an
undying rage directed at the
crimes of murder, robbery
and treason committed by the
Bush administration and
friends, I have a great concern
for the well-being of the peo-
ple of this country and the
freedoms they are losing rap-
idly under the false flag of
economic stability throughout
the world.
As is being discovered
by the no-longer individual
countries of Europe, they
have given up the rights to
govern themselves and have
handed that power to the
European “UNion,” or in
other words, a few individu-
als whom few know and no
one elected. Now those pa-
thetic yahoos that call them-
selves our representatives and
upholders of the “divinely
inspired” (in my opinion)
Constitution of the United
States, are allowing just this
sort of de-personalization to
happen to the sovereign entity
called the United States. You
cannot sacrifice sovereignty
and remain free any more
than you can call red blue or
two men a marriage.
For those who know how
to read, look up marriage in
the dictionary. Shall we re-
write the dictionary to accom-
modate a lifestyle or personal
desire? Shall we rewrite or
ignore the Constitution for the
sake of banks, murderers,
thieves and comfort zones?
Actually, people can do what-
ever they want, but sooner or
later you gotta’ get real. Just
as real as the results of what
we do or don’t do. Amen.
Sovereignty eroding
From William Schneider
Cave Junction
Never in all my spewing
of disgust and dismay as to
our national state of affairs,
never once did I advocate
surrender of sovereignty any
more than I would give up
my personal freedom, or any-
one else’s for the sake of a
group. I may give up some
personal things or time for the
betterment of a group, but
never my person.
Nothing, including our
gram, business counseling,
business growth strategies,
business training, and re-
source connections.

council chamber.
A line item for travel and
training has risen from $3,000
to $5,000. Polk said that is so
that new city councilors Carl
Jacobson and Trisha Arias
can attend conferences to
learn more about city govern-
ment. Jacobson has already
attended one such training,
Polk said.
Allocations for legal fees
have doubled from $5,000 last
fiscal year to $10,000. Polk
said that is due to the
“potential of pending litiga-
tion.”
“We have some issues
coming up,” he said. “We will
probably be using legal coun-
sel more in the next year.”
The Cave Junction
Budget Committee consists
of Moore and the four city
councilors, and residents Roy
Hewson, Mary Orton, Eileen
McLean, Barbara Ford and
Willa Gustavson. Jacobson,
Arias and McLean were ab-
sent May 20.
