This destructive plan is rapidly moving forward with little publicity, and FEMA cleverly scheduled its three public meetings for mid and late May while UC Berkeley students were in finals or gone for the summer.
UC Berkeley has applied for the grant to destroy the bucolic Strawberry and Claremont Canyon areas, claiming that the trees pose a fire hazard. The school has no plans to replant, and instead will cover 20% of the area in wood chips two feet deep. And it will pour between 700 and 1400 gallons of herbicide to prevent re-sprouting, including the highly toxic herbicide, Roundup. People are mobilizing against this outrageous proposal, which UC Berkeley has done its best to keep secret.
When I heard this week that the federal government would be funding the clear-cutting of 85,000 beautiful Berkeley and Oakland trees, including 22,000 in historic Strawberry and Claremont Canyon, my initial reaction was disbelief. I then wondered how the feds have money for this destructive project while Head Start and public housing programs are being cut due to the sequester.
The trees in Strawberry and Claremont Canyon have been there for decades and hardly constitute a “hazard.” But pouring 1400 gallons of herbicide on the currently pristine hills will create a real hazard, and UC Berkeley even plans to use the highly toxic herbicide “Roundup” to squelch the return of non-native vegetation.
This is a true horror story that will happen absent public opposition. I know that many will find it hard to believe that this could occur in the pro-environment San Francisco Bay Area, but UC Berkeley may be counting on this attitude to get all the approvals they need before people find out the truth.
Please read “Death of a Million Trees,” which provides all of the facts, figures and background about the Strawberry and Claremont Canyon proposed clear cutting as well as the tree destruction plans for the East Bay. The last public hearing will be held Saturday, May 18, 2013, 10 AM – 12 PM, at Claremont Middle School, 5750 College Avenue in Oakland.
The public has until June 17 to submit written comments on the project. You can do so through the East Bay Hills hazardous fire risk reduction project website, or via email.
There are countless destructive attacks on the environment that Bay Area activists cannot impact. But this is occurring in our own backyard, and activists must make sure that this cannot happen here.

In the new techno-thriller “Upload,” a young computer scientist with a sketchy past and distrust of society decides to take the ultimate leap forward by scanning his brain and uploading his memories, personality and consciousness into a simulated world of his own making.
Raymond wants to live forever, controlling his environment and interactions with other humans as a god-like being.
The novel by author Mark McClelland is set in the Michigan of 2070 about the time that futurists like Ray Kurzweil predict that “singularity” will be reached, the moment when machine learning will surpass human intelligence. It’s not the first science-fiction tale to explore human-computer hybrids (see “What are Little Girls Made Of” in the first season of the original “Star Trek” series) or even the perils of virtual reality becoming too real (see the “Matrix” triology). But it does posit some questions that real-world researchers are just now tackling.
The European Union, for example, recently announced it was funding a $1.3 billion project to build a human brain on a silicon substrate. That’s about 1 1/2 cents per neuron. Swiss neuroscientist Henry Markham, who is behind the Human Brain Project, has already started work on building a simulated rat brain.
At the same time, getting machines to think more like humans is also progressing. Especially in the realm of human-computer interfaces. Researchers are figuring out ways for victims of paralysis to control their artificial hands with brainwaves or evenwalk with exoskeletons.
Both computers and the robots they control are getting smarter, according to Moshe Vardi, professor of computer science at Rice University.
“Are machines getting more and more powerful? Absolutely. It’s been going on since 1940. We are making progress, and for many people it will be a lifesaver. But we are very far from understanding how the brain works.”
Author McClelland, who still works as a software developer for a Chicago trading firm, says that he expects developments in computing and artificial intelligence to proceed much more quickly than similar advances in neuroscience.
A powerful explosion has hit Ruken al-Deen neighborhood in Damascus, causing an unknown number of casualties, local state TV reports. At least three people are said to have been killed in the latest blast to strike the Syrian capital.
Residents have confirmed a large explosion shook the area.
When criminals rule they hire criminals to police honest people.
It took the IRS scandal for British anti-Second Amendment advocate Piers Morgan to understand government is the source of tyranny.
Morgan has told Penn Jillette that the IRS targeting of Tea Party and constitutionalist political groups and the Department of Justice’s seizure of AP phone records without a warrant are “vaguely tyrannical.”
They’re more than vaguely tyrannical. Morgan’s admission, though, reveals that there may be hope for the CNN talk show host after all.
His call for the destruction of the cornerstone of the Bill of Rights – the Second Amendment – was so egregious, we demanded he be deported – if only to make a point and draw attention to his subversive activity.
“I’ve had some of the pro-gun lobbyists on here, saying to me, ‘Well, the reason we need to be armed is because of tyranny from our own government,’ and I’ve always laughed at them,” Morgan told Jillette. “I said, ‘Don’t be ridiculous! Your government won’t turn itself on you.”
“But, actually, this is vaguely tyrannical behavior by the American government.”
“I think what the IRS did is bordering on tyrannical behavior. I think what the Department of Justice has done to the AP is bordering on tyrannical behavior,” he said.
Unfortunately, it took brazen behavior by the government before Morgan came around. It looks like he still holds out hope that government can be trusted.
As Thomas Jefferson knew through his reading of history, there is but one rule of thumb when considering government.
“Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny,” Jefferson wrote.

It’s now coming down to the wire as TSA employees are even ready to opt out (of their jobs), fearing that they might be getting sick from radiation released from the body scanners at airports.
While there have even been “Opt Out” campaigns organized in protest of such police state technologies by concerned passengers and citizens, this TSA bobble could usher in new class-action lawsuits by airport employees and TSA staff.
However, this likely will not change the mentality of the federal government and how they treat traveling US citizens. As one thing is for sure, now there is now a new passenger underclass.
In fact, Christopher Elliot wrote, “The TSA likes to talk about the “haves” — the elite-level frequent fliers, the soldiers in uniform, the crew-members, who can now almost always bypass the scanners, the shoe-removal and the pat-downs, and get to the gate quickly. It’s received a lot of positive coverage from an unskeptical mainstream media about those programs.
It doesn’t really say much about the “have-nots” — the passengers with medical conditions and implants that set off the magnetometers, the folks who don’t fly frequently enough to be part of the Pre-Check club and yeah, the opt-outs.
Actually, opt-outs are arguably the biggest segment of the new passenger underclass. The TSA doesn’t release statistics on air travelers who refuse a full-body scan, but anecdotal evidence suggests their numbers are large and growing.”
To say the least, the way TSA is treating US citizens now is disturbing. Apparently we have entered a Nazi style fascist dictatorship in America, and have already crossed the point of no return.
This last time I traveled I had to take 8 flights in the course of a week period. For the most part, I had your typical TSA experience. You know, the one where I always opt out, and they do a complete pat-down. Although I have to say, you can tell that TSA agents do not like it when a slave (citizen) opts out, as it causes them extra work.
As a matter of fact, the last time I opted out was in the Denver International Airport (DIA) last week. The TSA agent that was going to conduct the full pat-down said to me, “What, are you afraid to go through a magnetic scanner?”
I replied, “Don’t even try it Bro, I know too much about this technology”.
The TSA agent followed up by mumbling something under his tongue, demonstrating that there is indeed a new slave class in America.
The TSA agent didn’t want to hear it, but I told him anyway that he was being poisoned by radiation. He continued to treat me like a slave.
However he had better wake up as, “There have been complaints of radiation exposure-related illness made by Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) to the union”, a TSA official said in a report with KTLA5 news.
The report went on to read, “In addition to health concerns, many passengers had complained that the old body X-ray scanners were a little too revealing.
The TSA says that the new millimeter-wave scanners can not only catch the bad guys better, but the radiation emitted is well below safety standards.
So what can you expect? Ticket holders still have to “assume the position” like the old back-scatter machines.
The new machines don’t use X-ray, but rather radio-frequency waves that are considered safer.
The union for TSA workers says there is something called a dosimeter badge that measures radiation exposure, but they are not commonly used.
Right now, the government is holding a 90-day commenting period for the public to weigh in on the new scanners.”
What all of this demonstrates is that yes the federal government is poisoning us in more ways than we know, all the while, conditioning us.
