Operation Southern Trinity: 66,902 Marijuana Plants, 3,525 Processed Pounds, and…2300 Pounds of Fertilizer

People seem quite feisty today, Kym, and incapable of reading comprehension. Must be all the solar radiation bombarding the North Coast. Suppose you should ready yourself for the next 48-72 hours, as today was, supposedly, only the beginning of the increased solar activity.

Also, keep an eye out for Auroras the next few evenings!

edit: My apologies, not solar activity itself but geomagnetic field activity.

“The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to be at high levels on 02-03 and 05-17 August due to
recurrent coronal hole high speed stream influences. Normal to
moderate levels are expected for the remainder of the outlook
period.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at active levels on 01
and 05-06 August due to recurrent coronal hole high speed stream
influences.”

Improper use of fertilizers and poisons, and cartel/gang activity/organized crime activity, should be prosecuted.

I keep saying this, but how much cocaine, heroin, opioids, meth, etc. did the cops get off highways 101 and 299?

How much of those hard drugs did they pull out of the local high schools? Old Town? Rat-hole motels?

Let’s put this law-enforcement public-relations bullshit into perspective (not an insult to Kym, who has to run with some information from the pertinent agencies): It’s a game; it’s a revenue-enhancer for the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department; always has been. Power-hungry rambo cops get to play weekend and weekday warriors.

And, oh, how local law enforcement loves the unconstitutional asset-forfeiture (I don’t care about court case law that says asset-forfeiture is “constitutional”; it isn’t, and some day that will be changed). They get to buy nice, shiny things.

Meanwhile, the meth and opioid epidemics rage in Humboldt; the damage they cause, the despair they wreak and the lives lost to them are apparent to anyone with a pulse.

But LEOs go after easy prey because the revenuers can cushion their paltry budgets.

Let’s be honest: Going after hard drugs and the people who sell and finance their sales requires an investment in terms of investigatory personpower, puts stress on the economics of law enforcement — because of the overtime needed, and the flow of drugs just cannot be stopped with what LEO we have.

So what does the sheriff’s department do?

The sheriff says to himself, without admitting that his is nothing but a puppet: “Let’s pretend that we’re actually being tough on crime and go after pot growers without much regard to who actually should be targeted.”

As in, environmental polluters, organized crime, gang activity and cartel activity.

The sheriff is akin to Oz, but he’s no wizard. In seeming earnestness, he says to himself: “Let’s meet with CLMP and what we call the ‘agitators’ (but we don’t call them that to their faces).”

Those in assemblance include longtime local growers and some new ones.

The sheriff says to himself, “We’ll pretend, as all the other sheriffs have pretended.”

But the people know the truth. They’ve seen the militaristic machine before — from the late sheriff Gene Cox on.

They’ve seen the militaristic power of the state that is run by special interests — including cannabis special interests — that want to seize control of the market and one way to do that is to enlist a militaristic effort to bust and scare away mom-and-pops.

It’s all about profits. They don’t give a darn about your beautiful homestead in the Humboldt Hills. The could care less about your vision of a peaceful world. They see you as “the other” who should be arrested.

All the while, they and their militaristic buddies in the National Guard, DEA, multiple sheriff departments and, who knows what other agencies, hold their collective middle finger when you turn your back to go home to your peaceful abodes. That is the real story of any “get-together” with the sheriff’s department.

CLMP and concerned citizens of Southern Humboldt need a strong voice to counter the bullshit that flows nonstop from the public-relations departments of multiple agencies.

So far, I don’t see that voice, except for what CLMP and Kym are doing.

Signed a conservative (not Republican, not alt-right, not a Richie Rich Clown-in-Chief Trumpite) who sees injustice and isn’t afraid to say it.

Improperly stored fertilizer is illegal . It must have secondsry containment
