Saturday Morning Live for May 30 2020
Guest Host Vince Buys will interview Perry Eskridge, General Affairs Atty, for the WC Realtors about the recent edict from the Department of Ecology on the first part of the show. Vince and Perry will talk about the Dept. of Ecology's move to side with the extremists and reduce the available water for domestic use from 3000 gallons per day to 500 gallons per day. These properties in rural Whatcom County often have small farms and growing operations on them, so it'll be an interesting interview to say the least. The second half of the program, Vince will speak to State Representative Luanne Van Werven, of the 42nd Dist. about recent issues happening in Washington State without the consent of the state legislature.
RE Sources Tells Supporters, "Cherry Point Industries No Benefit to Whatcom County"
The local chapter of RE Sources for a Sustainable Community sent out a "call to action" to their supporters which urges them to bombard the Whatcom County Council with form letters to ask that the Council vote to extend the Cherry Point Industries moratorium. They made it super-easy for their members to bombard the Council by providing them with a pre-written form letter which they'll submit for them at no cost, this same organization who receives "thousands-of-your-tax-dollars" from this Council. It even contains a special module that let's them add their own personalized touch to the email; then with the click of a button--WOOSH!, off it goes. Their anything-but grassroots message goes directly into the Whatcom County Council's email inbox, to be counted against the economic future and vitality of our community. Shoot, they've even got a handy-dandy button to make it easy-as-pie to forward this email to the members email contact list.

Eight Lessons Learned (So Far) From the COVID-19 Economic Shutdown
by Dean Gano, May 7, 2020
- We solved the wrong problem.
- Never listen to an epidemiologist again.
- The “Scientific” Models Suck.
- Groupthink will kill more people than the virus, so don’t let it suck you in.
- Follow the science not the politicians or fake news media.
- Change our laws to prevent any leader from ever trampling our liberties again.
- Make all critical medicines and medical supplies in America.
- Teach effective problem-solving skills in our schools.
- We solved the wrong problem
The problem was defined by epidemiologists from the CDC, WHO, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, NIAID Director as a pandemic that would kill millions of people and overload our healthcare facilities resulting in more uncontrolled deaths and chaos. So, to prevent that from happening our politicians listened to these trusted experts called epidemiologists.

COVID 19, Aluminum, and U.S. National Security: Will China Destroy a Critical U.S. Industry?
By Jim McKinney, First Printed in the Epoch Times April 1st, 2020. Updated April 22nd, 2020
The COVID 19 pandemic and subsequent global economic shutdown has had dramatic consequences for numerous industries. The shutdown has forced London Metal Exchange (LME) prices for aluminum below sustainable levels for U.S. based producers. Heavily subsidized Chinese aluminum producers will soon cost more U.S. manufacturing jobs. Today, April 22nd, Alcoa announced the curtailment of its Ferndale WA Intalco smelter, a move that will impact the local and state economy and drive the U.S. deeper under Chinese control of a critical defense related industry.
