YES, Trump can send Federal agents to the States against protesters to protect Federal assets. BUSH DID!!! HOW soon we forget. Spring, 2001 Klamath Falls, Oregon. Gale Norton, head of Interior for the GW Bush Administration, shut off the water supply to hundreds of farmers in the Klamath Basin to save her nonsense Sucker Fish. She was a misguided enviromentalist of the right. Along with 20,000 patriots, we marched the streets of Klamath Falls, Oregon to protest the taking of property belonging to us. From there a few hundred took up residence at the Head gate landing of the irrigation...

Candidates squaring off in the Republican primary, seeking to unseat Democrat Jeff Merkley in November, all support turning Oregon federal forests over to local ownership. Jo Rae Perkins, former Linn County GOP Chair, noted 53 percent of Oregon land is owned by the federal government. “This land should not be owned by the federal government. It needs to go back to the state and back into private ownership. Let the people take care of the land,” Perkins said. “We’ve got environmentalists who don’t even live in Oregon who want to bring a lawsuit against every timber sale there is. And...

The California drought is stoking a congressional appetite for additional water storage, with new and larger dams back on competing menus.

Something’s amiss at the Department of Interior. Eight government scientists were recently fired or reassigned after voicing concerns to their superiors about faulty environmental science used for policy decisions. Which begs the question, “Are some government agencies manipulating science to advance political agendas?” Fictional book authors operate in a convenient world, unconstrained by facts and experiences of the real world. The antithesis of works of fiction are scientific findings solely based on provable facts and experience. For agenda-driven environmental science, facts can sometime prove inconvenient. It’s far easier to advance an agenda with agreeable science, even if that means creating...

> A combination of hot rocks and water like those that created Yellowstone's geysers have been tapped by the city to keep the sidewalks toasty since the early 1990s. They also heat downtown buildings, kettles at a brewhouse, and greenhouses and keep the lights on at a college campus. > A 2007 Massachusetts Institute of Technology report estimates that EGS, with support, could be producing 100 gigawatts of electricity — equivalent to 1,000 coal-fired or nuclear power plants >

Three members of a touring male revue dance group have been arrested on accusations they raped a 24-year-old woman at a Klamath Falls motel.

All are charged with rape and sodomy. Bail for each is set at $200,000. Armagnac-Bernal, a Czech national who has overextended his visa, is also being...

The agreement announced Tuesday on the future of the Klamath River offers reason for cautious hope that the troubled waterway can recover from years of human intervention and abuse while meeting the conflicting needs of fish and farms. The agreement � forged by the farmers, fishermen, American Indians, government agencies and conservation groups whose views on the Klamath’s future long have clashed � achieves the seemingly impossible: a broadly supported plan to allocate the free-flowing waters of the river without dams. Therein lies the hope. And therein lies the caution. That these longtime adversaries, who for years battled over a...

Australians have been told to pray for rain or face a ban on irrigation in the main food-growing region so that there is enough water to drink. The Prime Minister’s warning yesterday heralded a dramatic increase in food prices and the prospect of tens of thousands of farmers having to watch their crops fail.

Sheriff's deputies have arrested a Klamath Falls man who they said used an Internet chat room to lure at least 32 people into planning a mass suicide for Valentine's Day. Gerald Krien, 26, faces charges of solicitation to commit murder, said Klamath County Sheriff Tim Evinger. Detectives learned of the plan from a woman in Canada who said she was going to take part in the suicide but had second thoughts when another chat room participant talked about killing her two children. Evinger said the chat room participants planned to log on on Valentine's Day and simultaneously commit suicide. "Based...

It comes too late to save the farms and livelihoods of hundreds of southern Oregon farmers left high and dry last summer, but the National Academy of Sciences released a report Feb. 5 bearing out what those farmers have been saying all along — the federal government did not have sufficient scientific evidence to cut off irrigation water to the farms below Oregon's Klamath Lake Dam. Two hundred thousand acres of the Klamath Valley in southwest Oregon went without irrigation water last summer, with 1,500 affected farm families suffering losses that may total $250 million, dwarfing a $20 million ...

YREKA - The Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) recommendation to acquire more land along the Klamath River as part of its Management Plan Environmental Impact Statement process was not favorably received by the Siskiyou County Supervisors. The BLM recommendation, one of four options under consideration relating to the 20 mile segment of the Klamath River five miles of which are in California, is an option the supervisors have said following several presentations is unacceptable to them. It involves removing land now owned by PacifiCorp out of private ownership and into the public ownership of BLM, something that would further reduce...

Okay, here's the latest from a dear woman I trust. Water cut off is rescinded. July 1st seems to be next gateway and focal point...very similar to 2001. I was at KWUA (Klamath Water Users Association) this afternoon for a big meeting about the water shut off. Around 3 pm Greg Walden's Washington office called and said the order had been recinded. Project farmers are now being asked to conserve water until July 1st. But the battle isn't over. Dan Keppen will have a statement out soon and I will post it here as soon as I get it. Barb...
