"Isn't the only hope for the planet that the
industrialized civilizations collapse?
Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?"
Maurice Strong, Head of the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro

"We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place for capitalists, and their projects... We must reclaim the roads and plowed land, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers, and return to wilderness millions of tens of millions of acres of presently settled land." David Foreman, EarthFirst! member

Think about it.......look what is happening in the Klamath Basin...look what is happening in Oregon, in the Western US, in America.  How many civilizations have survived when their food source has been eliminated?

In this section, we will look at what is happening in the Klamath Basin and other areas to try to gain understanding into the agenda that seeks to eliminate our communities....our productivity, our work ethics, our way of life.

Commentary by Dr. Kenneth A Rykbost on: Water War in the Klamath Basin, by Holly Doremus and A. Dan Tarlock. "I believe you, as many others, do a disservice to the local community as well as the scientific community by publishing one-sided material such as this. It will no doubt serve as additional fodder in the future by those wishing to obscure facts and promote an agenda." (KBC Note: Rykbost speaks of suckers and salmon, fish die-off, Glen Spain, Trinity diversions, Dr. Hardy, algae--this is a Must Read. Rykbost is a research scientist who from 1987 to 2006 served at the Oregon State University Klamath Experiment Station as Superintendent and agronomist responsible for row crop research. He has a bachelor’s degree from Cornell University in Agricultural Engineering, a master’s degree from Cornell University in Agronomy, and a doctorate degree from Oregon State University with a major in soil science and a minor in civil engineering with emphasis on water quality and hydrology.)

Why so silent? Pioneer Press 7/24/08."Daily, harmful chemicals are being dumped en mass in our rivers and their tributaries...environmentalist" didn't seem to care. Literally, they didn't care and couldn't be bothered with the harm the marijuana growers are having on our region. Which begs the question: why would a tribe be so concerned about a landscaping company and yet our tribes don't give a flying rip about the drug cartels?"

CEI Fights Sierra Club Demands for CO2, CEI posted to KBC 4/13/08.
