ITSSD’s FOIA, furthermore, shows that each of the parties concerned had been handsomely remunerated by these arrangements. Policy-conforming universities and nonprofit institutes received significant sums from NOAA to establish, maintain or reestablish climate change science-related Cooperative Institutes governed by five-year agreements subject to renewal. Staffed by university and overseen by government scientists, these programs attracted the participation of additional universities, institutes and scientists that together helped to promote and advance NOAA as well as administration domestic and international climate change policies. The research findings generated by the scientists affiliated with such programs often later appeared in the form of peer-reviewed scientific journal publications which NOAA incorporated expressly or by reference into the climate assessments it had been developing. The EPA then used these NOAA-developed assessments as the scientific foundation, in part, of its GHG Endangerment Findings. The EPA has continued to reference these assessments as the scientific basis for each of the GHG emissions regulations it has since enacted and proposed.

Black Bear Commune, www.BlackBearRanch.org is an 80-acre intentional community located in Siskiyou County, California, about 25 miles from Forks of Salmon. It was founded in 1968,^[1] with the slogan “free land for free people”. It has been considered by some participants and commentators to be one of the more radical examples of communal living/intentional communities that grew out of the counterculture of the 1960s.^[2]Before being converted into a commune, it was a ghost town that had been a gold mining settlement in the 1860s.^[3] The commune’s legal ownership was held by one resident, Richard Marley,^[4] until in 1987 it was transferred to the Black Bear Family Trust,^[1] which limits development of the property and established trustees to oversee various specified duties. Black Bear Ranch was the subject of the 2005 documentary Commune by Johnathan Berman. The commune still exists today and continues to follow the basic ideals which motivated its founding. At the Summer Solstice Gathering in 2013, there were over 40 residents, the highest population in decades. It is located in a pocket valley in the Siskiyou Mountains.^[5]

We The People Radio airs each Sunday between 8 and 10 a.m. on Redding, California’s KCNR 1460-AM. Perspectives on the show typically are outside the mainstream and the false “left-right paradigm” dominating American politics. We’re at the southernmost tip of the region thought of as the “State of Jefferson,” so it should come as no surprise that we frequently cover topics related to the excesses of the “neo-environmental” movement. But we pull no punches and address a wide variety of topics. Our programing reflects a deep respect for the Constitution, common sense and TEA Party values. Click here to check out our website.
