SB-3A is the new dredge ban bill, sponsored by Senator Peter Courtney and currently before the State Legislature in Oregon. It is the successor to SB 838, the current dredge ban bill which was sponsored by the late Senator Alan Bates, Big Pharma's bitch.
The Oregon Reichstag, which at this
juncture are bordering on insurrection against the Federal
Government, are attempting to strip citizens of congressionally-granted rights
(1872 Mining Act.) They are about to pass this new bill
which levies a total ban on all motorized mining, and not just in the
Essential Salmon Habitat like the previous Bates bill.
So,
who exactly is this
Peter Courtney fellow?
Simply put, he's as
big a Big Pharma toady as Alan Bates was – and that's really
saying something. And don't forget he's beholden to Big Mining, and
Big Tobacco too! He even takes money from biotech ghouls like
Genentech who, like other Big Pharma companies, utilize aborted fetuses and other
human tissue in the research and manufacture of their poisons.
Taking a look at
the Senate Campaign Contributions for his campaign filed in 2013, it
is riddled with dirty money from Big Pharma (one of the leading
causes of death in the US,) biotech companies who utilize aborted
fetal tissue to produce vaccines and drugs, a tobacco corporation,
Big Mining land rapers who utilize open pits, and a so-called
“sustainable waste and energy solutions” corporation with a
conviction for polluting!

If you
really want to know who a politician is, just look at who they take money from. That is
who Peter Courtney is. A Renfield. A
bower and scraper to deep-pocketed corporations that kill. A
hypocrite. He doesn't give a flying fig about keeping the water
clean or about fish habitat or any such a thing. He does not believe
that a 4” gold dredge does more damage to the environment than a
conglomerate mining consortium who move millions of yards of dirt and
rocks each year and use chemical leaching processes. Unless he's
complete moron, which, of course, is always possible with an Oregon
Democrat.
So, what is the
objective of this new dredge ban bill? The objective is to kill the
small miner. The lone guy who makes his living with a small dredge,
or maybe potters around for a few weeks during the summer, and makes
no mark whatsoever on the environment. In fact, he probably does
more good than harm by removing mercury from our rivers and streams,
and other pollutants and hazards like lead lures left behind by the
Fish Killers.
But, alas, Enviros,
who are obviously a sandwich short of a picnic, believe that
returning 2% of the mostly-naturally-occurring mercury that may be
lost by the dredge after being sucked up, is better for the
environment than removing the other 98%. They
don't recommend dredges for removing mercury because they may lose 2%
of it. That's from an actual “scientific” report by the California Water Boards. So, let's leave 100% of it there instead! Enviro-logic –
an oxymoron if there ever was one.
The objective is to
take one step closer to shutting down all non-commercial mining and
swapping to a leaseable / sellable business model for the land
management agencies, state and federal, and annihilating small scale
mining. Right now, if a mining claim which is privately held by a
miner is abandoned because of this legislation all existing rights
will be severed and the claim will then be subject to the new
regulations and will be administrated under the new leaseable /
sellable model. You will no longer have possessory title to the
land. You will have a lease. You will be a renter. And a land
agency, probably BLM if you're in Oregon, will be your landlord.
The objective, as always, with politics and the whores who
populate it, is money. Is control. Is power.
And if you're
reading this and think you don't care about the rights of miners,
just remember this – the miners are the only people with a right
to do what they do in the woods and on rivers. Everybody else is a
permittee or a licensee. You have to pay for a permit to cut wood.
You have to pay for a permit to use a boat. You have to pay for a
permit to cut a Christmas Tree. You have to pay for licenses to fish
and to hunt. You have to pay a fee to camp. If they can eradicate
an entire group of people with a congressionally-granted right, just
imagine what they can do to everybody else. Including you.
