Tense political atmosphere after the last protest at Coffin Butte. I.S.R had called for a united front for the sake of effectiveness, and the attempt was undermined by the liberal European organizers who took a vote not to work with I.S.R and instead to be racially exclusionary and side with liberal groups such as the Sierra Club who has a background in eugenics. The contradiction was explained patiently to them and they actually voted to implement a liberal european gatekeeping. I had to make a traumatic speech in front of probably 50 people who i felt hated me. I was put in danger when i was betrayed and went forward to protest believing others would join me. When i got there it was no support and a police presence with what appeared to be a surveilance vehicle. Police stalked me that week and i had to tell city government about it before it ended. I was The lack of solidarity continued from all sectors because the task is difficult and the population afraid to protest or take meaningful action beyond petitioning the same county that hasnt’t listened so far. Corvallis has a long standing of racial segregation and exclusion of more radical activists who are actually effective and, in my case, have massive lists of accolades. Corvallis has no intention of breaking their racism and colonial domination. It makes for certain that every environmental rally will continue to look like a women for the klan rally. No change. No tribal consent. No input from the #RightfulStewards When i left the protest after completing it alone there was the cliche eagle flying over my head. I was stalked so heavily by law enforcement that i was barricaded in my house for a week and made several trips to mental health. Nobody checked on me. I found this deeply traumatic. The Beckys and Karens of the world and the non-profit industrial complex, organizations without anticolonial framework are still hurting us. Nobody is probably shocked at that. If you are in their circle of influence, you might ask them to stop being staunch white supremacists. Your Aunt Edna might have a colonial Jinx Deamon inside her. A Wendigo disguised as a sweet old white lady. Is your Mom n Dad a Bastian of environmental white supremacy? Ask them to stop engaging in colonial solidarity at the expense of the water. Water is life. This isn’t whitewater.
Who’s being silent?: Silence from Siletz and Grand Ronde: The site is on ancestral territory of Kalapuya which would be Siletz Confederation and the water flowing north contaminated to Willamette Falls cultural site sacred to the Grand Ronde Confederation. Neiter, one has spoken. Each one is dealing with corruption on various levels, probably an element of political cohesion, lack of options, nepotism and an attitude from some members that take political grievance with revolutionaries i.e they are petite bourgeoise sellouts. The earth suffers while they cannot find their voice and Pan Indigenous Government takes the brunt for their inaction. Leachate continues to flow north to Willamette Falls. There is a Chinook Salmon run in the Willamette River that struggles to exist.
Who recognizes me?: Bad people seem to notice me and say things to hurt me like micro aggressions. The good people of Corvallis stay eerily quiet which by default makes everyone start to look bad.
Recall: The people seek to elect new officials and everyone seems to share the opinion that there is corruption. Nobody has been shy about saying it towards the end. Perhaps the people are unable to prove it while it also seems so obvious.
Lead in the water: Lead has been found at Mountain View School near the landfill.
E.E Wilson Trout Pond: The trout pond has yet to be tested. The landfill drainage goes in that direction. You can observe this durring heavy rains.
Lack Of Solidarity: Lack of solidarity nearly caused us to quit as an organization this winter and it caused us to cancel the M.L.K march and education we had planned.
Conclusion: War Chief mko goes hard for the environment and consistently defends water quality and drinking water. Let this be further proof that i did my task even when it was difficult, dangerous and unsupported.
The comment period is nearing its end if anyone was going to do something.
