"One day you're farming, minding your own business, and life's good. The next day, and for the following nine years, you're fighting thieves who want your property and your livelihood. Using junk science and lots of propaganda, the thieves band together in meetings to hammer out the details of stealing your property and divvying it up amongst themselves. And you, the lawful property owner, are only one against the massive den of thieves."

Klamath Falls visit, Walden
hears of ‘over-reaching’ government
, H&N
4/27/14. "On
the topic of the water agreement signed
by the Klamath Tribes and the Upper
Basin irrigators, Walden said he’ll
support the bill in Congress, but “I
still have great reservations for
removing all four dams (on the Klamath
River). “It is good that the Upper Basin
folks came together and I supported
that. But the issue is that the
agreement was reached with parties
themselves, but not the public. The
public still matters in this debate. The
public has not yet
supported some element to this plan.” To
that end, Walden suggested that a Senate
bill may not make it through the House
as one single piece of legislation — as
has been proposed — but divided into
sections that may pass." Psalm 19:13-14 Let them not have dominion over me, Then I shall be blameless, and I shall be innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer. Sent from Frank Tallerico 4/27/14

Freedom of speech is key when talking
irrigation, by Bruce Topham, Sprague
River letter to H&N, posted to KBC 4/15/14.
"This
is what is currently being
demanded
of those of us who are ranchers in the north
half of Klamath County. A foreign sovereign
government (aka the Klamath Tribes) is
requiring that for any water settlement to
be met for irrigation or drinking water for
our livestock we must surrender our right as
Americans to express any opinions contrary
to those advocated by the Klamath Tribes..."
Protesting the vote; Klamath Tribal members demand a new vote, H&N, posted to KBC 4/15/14. Zero acre-feet of water; East Side Klamath Project irrigators to see little or no water; idling funds also are in short supply, H&N 4/15/14. "Moxley said the newly designed pivots can reduce his irrigation water use up to 50 percent. But last week, the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) announced that irrigators, who rely on water supplies from Clear Lake Reservoir, will get zero acre-feet for the 2014 irrigation season." KBC NOTE: When Klamath Reclamation Project was built, Clear Lake was a meadow. Suckers do not live in meadows. To create farmland, water was stored in Clear Lake (meadow) to so it could be used for irrigation if needed. The U.S. government made it into a bird refuge and decided to create habitat for suckers who historically did not live in this meadow, mandating lake levels and denying access in most of that area to the public. Difficult season ahead, insufficient water for full Project deliveries. No water will be released from Clear Lake Reservoir, H&N, posted to KBC 4/15/14 Klamath Tribes approve water pact, H&N, posted to KBC 4/15/14.

Matthew 26:26-29 "And as the were eating. Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, 'Take, eat; this is my body.' Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, 'Drink from it all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant which is shed for many for the remission of sins, but I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom.'
