The organization was an attempt to work on any issue the community deemed it wanted addressed, sort of like a public, non-work-related union ... gathering folks together collectively to have strength in numbers to go up against the large entities in our world determining things for us ... government, corporations, you know what I mean.... Oregon Fair Share worked on the issue of fair utility rates, and it won a major victory in restructuring electricity rates around the state so they no longer favored larger consumers of power and instead benefited ordinary folks, smaller consumers. This example is instructive for how our unthinking ways of doing things — evolved out of a time vastly different from today — are mechanically undermining our lives; how they could be changed to benefit us given a little thought to the matter; and finally, how citizens can use their strength in numbers to take action to effect such necessary change. So let me elaborate a little on this victory of Oregon Fair Share. These utility rates proposed by Oregon Fair Share — “lifeline rates,” as they are called — are still in effect. Notice, their intent was… 2. TRUTH’S SOLITARY JOURNEY Page 43

We predicted that nuclear plants along shorelines or fault lines would be especially vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis leading to catastrophe. Fukushima’s catastrophic meltdown was the result of a tsunami that was caused by an earthquake. Activism Let me back up a second. I am an author, now, but for most of my life I was a psychotherapist who specialized in primal therapy and holotropic breathwork. As well, I am a prenatal and perinatal psychologist, and a philosopher. I did graduate work in anthropology and history, as well as pre- and perinatal psychology; and indeed this book was helped along in its development as my history thesis in my graduate research course in the early Nineties at Sonoma State University. Most recently, I have been advancing theory in the field of ecopsychology in a number of works.3 However, I am also an activist. For a year and a half, from the fall of 1981 to the spring of 1983, I worked for an organization called Oregon Fair Share. I worked as a canvasser out of the Springfield, Oregon, office.

What is instructive is that at least one of the other persons involved at one point tried to get the story of what happened published. He was not a writer, and he failed; but it is doubtful his piece would be selected for publication anyway. The end of nuclear plant construction in the United States is one of those stories that you will only hear from our opponents and for most people it will have been chalked up to some confusing, mysterious, and random events. It was not. No Nukes is Good Nukes The cessation of nuclear plant construction was something that was desired, worked for, and hoped for by people who knew the dire consequences of nuclear energy and who understood the motives of the people behind nuclear energy who had no concept of that, or… PART ONE: CULTURE WAR — TRUTH Page 42

PART ONE: CULTURE WAR — TRUTH Page 42 …unusual for my times. I found few fellow travelers. In my quest for truth, I could feel, and was quite carried along with, the ebbs and flows of the tides of my times. I had a life different from most — one which took me to live, to study, and to participate with groups and in places around and around the country for fifty-odd years. Many of these groups and places and the activities and thinking of them would be considered exotic or alien to most Americans. And when folks heard about these developments, for the average person it was something that was happening far away from them with people they did not know ... and was on top of that reported to them in a way to distort and misinform. I, For One, Can Tell You Why We Stopped Building Nuclear Plants in This Country ... I Helped Make it Happen So many of the events of my life would not be well known, although some of the things I was involved in had major influences on our country. For example, the cessation of the building of nuclear power plants in the early Eighties. Not many people could tell you why or how that happened — that 180-degree reversal in America’s march toward a nuclear nation. I was one of the people involved in bringing that about. I was not one of the major players up front. However, I was involved full- time over a couple year period that led up to the events that stopped nuclear power construction to this day. I can tell you what happened.

Truth’s Solitary Journey What follows from here in this narrative? This is the story of one person’s informed take on those times. This is the perspective of one person intimately involved in the events of our days. For, Forrest- Gump-like, I found myself caught up in virtually all the major trends over the last sixty years either through first-hand observation or through the fact that as a writer and avid follower of the events of the day — in an era that seemed my whole life to be peppered with national and international surprises and upheavals, some positive; others mostly not — I could not look away. In particular, this is a story of my quest for truth during those times. Through a coincidence of birth, genetics, and upbringing, and because in general a quest for truth requires too much time involvement and is usually not a higher priority over things like family and community; my quest for truth, forgoing family, wealth, and community ties, was… 2.

2. TRUTH’S SOLITARY JOURNEY Page 41 Never again would I look at a story out of the mainstream press, no matter how widely reported and/or held to be fact, without looking for the possible agendas and forces that would affect the veracity of what was being said. Especially I would look at who would benefit financially from the story, if it were true; and who would benefit financially, if it were not reported. There is a less discouraging aspect to this development. The historical record relates that Richard Nixon saw the massive outpouring of resistance at Moratorium Day, 1969. It is said he was impressed and perhaps intimidated by the outpouring of people flooding the mall from one end to the other. We learn that Nixon intended to drop nuclear bombs on Vietnam, in particular, on Hanoi; but he changed his mind after seeing the huge wave of people who came to Washington, D.C., on November 15th, 1969. It is reported Nixon reasoned that if he did use nukes in Vietnam, the outpouring against him would be so huge it would sweep away him and his administration. This is at least small comfort, demonstrating to activists that all our actions in a progressive direction bear fruit, yet often in ways about which we will not know. We have no way of calculating the number of people inspired by such events, the number swayed by such events, the number intimidated, or the way the effects of such massive demonstrations ripple out through the country and the world.

President Al Gore. Sorry, I Was Dreaming About a Democratic America Dan Rather’s version, if it had not been undermined, would most likely have led to Al Gore, not George W. Bush, getting the Presidency in 2000. That is to say, even with “filthy rich” and Supreme Court support at that time to begin “installing” our presidents. That is another thing to think about when you think that we have a free press in this country; or if you should think that any ownership involvement in the news has little or no consequences. Back to my story, this incident has to do with my understanding of the truth and of history as it relates to the media and their coverage. Properly reported on, Moratorium Day, 1969, should have been one of the major historical events on American public record. It would arguably have been influential in the course the war would take after that day. Yet with the corrupted news coverage of it and in the days following, my belief in America’s premier role — because of its supposed rights, such as “freedom of the press” — in being the most reliable in getting to the real story and reporting events as close to actuality as humans are capable of was shattered forever.

PART ONE: CULTURE WAR — TRUTH Page 40 …the threat of interference from the moneyed elite will keep the media in line with the interests of ownership. We Decide, You React We need consider that when senior people, household names, are fired on the spot, that it sends a message that only grows stronger with the years, especially as ownership will make the decisions behind the scenes as to the kind of reporters it will even have working for them. Rather Hear from Dan? By the way, a more recent example of such a thing happening has to do with the dismissal of Dan Rather by CBS News around the time of the 2000 presidential election. You’ve probably heard the ownership’s slant on that story. You should listen to Mister Rather tell the story some time. It is quite different from the “official” version.

When the Controllers force the news media to portray our situation that way with its conservative bias pumping up conservative proponents on the Right, with a wall erected on the Left blocking out Leftist ideas and activities, they indeed make it so: That the Trump, though out of power, is still powerful and the narrative against him and his treason is unimportant. Yes, the media, at the behest of the Filthy Rich, have totally restructured what is considered news and what will be promoted and forced down upon the pegs of the populace since the early 1970s. This slant is what qualifies as propaganda, then. Convenient (for the Filthy Rich) “Truth” So who determined what would be the truth that day — Moratorium Day, November 15th, 1969, in Washington, D.C. Well, it certainly was not news reporters. The story is only that the decision to minimally cover the largest protest in U.S. history came from “on high.” I guess from that you can discern that ownership made the decision that day; and we have no idea how many other times it has done that. We can only conclude that just 2. TRUTH’S SOLITARY JOURNEY Page 39

2. TRUTH’S SOLITARY JOURNEY Page 39 …when it came to the public’s lack of understanding of the Mueller Report or the decision of Speaker Nancy Pelosi to delay the initial impeachment of Donald Trump. We know that reduced media coverage of Trump’s opponents and Democrat’s flaccid pushback against the Donald are linked in that when the Democrats, in June and July of 2022, finally put together a nationally broadcast investigation of Donald Trump’s crimes of treason and insurrection for his efforts to remain in power, suddenly many more folks —a significant majority, now — understood that Trump had lost the 2020 election and that the Trump family had been using them. Not all MAGAts came to that conclusion, yet a crucial and sizable number of them did. That is a direct result of the January 6th Congressional Investigation Committee’s broadcasting of its hearings to all major news networks ... save Fox ... some of it in prime time. The swing in polling around attitudes to Trump and beliefs in a stolen election show the importance of media coverage to keep folks abreast of important developments. Failing which, criminal politicians and Controllers can act, as we see in spades during Trump’s term as president, unhindered in their defrauding the American people out of their money and liberty.

Tea Party Patsies and MAGAts Keep in mind that this same media has covered and continues to promote and “tout” (even) rallies of (often paid) Tea Party and MAGAt proponents attended only by crowds in the hundreds! Even Trump’s events, though he is no longer president, are covered; while so many protests go on for Black Lives Matter, women’s and abortion rights, and the environment that such demonstrations are — not coincidentally, yet conveniently for the Filthy Rich — no longer considered news by the media controllers. Keep in mind that the media could use the same rationale to stop covering Trump’s events, pronouncements, and activities — that they are commonplace, not newsworthy — yet the broadcasters do not. Thus, we hear of Trump’s antics, less about the pushback against him, and we think that Trump is powerful and that the pushback against him is not as strong. If you think this lack of coverage of the pushback is inconsequential, I will note that it had consequences that were huge,… PART ONE: CULTURE WAR — TRUTH Page 38

PART ONE: CULTURE WAR — TRUTH Page 38 would be a lie. As for the News Department at ABC having independence: Well, Howard K. Smith, veteran and senior news reporter at the time, was so incensed and so insistent on finding out who and how and why this coverage was changed from dusk-to-dawn to practically nothing that it led to his dismissal. If he was angry about it, angry enough to get fired over it, can you not imagine that the entire News Department was against the change? Where’d Wisconsin Go? While this is history not news, it is more recent news as well ... though we cannot call it “headline” news for reasons that have to do with the media. Something disturbingly similar happened decades later, in 2011, regarding media coverage of the Wisconsin pro-union rallies. While the largest rallies in Madison, Wisconsin, history were going on — an estimated 100,000 showed up on one day, 200,000 people a week or so after that — barely anything about them was mentioned in the mainstream media.

Well, that day whoever controlled and owned ABC decided their personal interests were going to be hurt by showing a gathering of that many people amassing against the war — one out of every two hundred people living in America at that time managed to personally show up; how many more would have come if they could; how many more would be at home watching and would be stirred and influenced by such a sight? When Woodstock saw such numbers, it was talked about in the media as a phenomenon and it became history. We see that if the 1% do not like the facts, they lie. If they can’t cheat, if the masses rise up in great numbers to struggle for peace, they can simply arrange for it not to be properly credited in the press nor included correctly in the historical record. Well, that was something I did not expect. I truly thought the press could be counted on, at least, to tell a pretty good version of the truth ... or fer godsakes at least get the numbers right. Media Masters But no, the people who pull the strings in this country pulled the strings at ABC that day and changed what would be reported as history. And it… 2. TRUTH’S SOLITARY JOURNEY Page 37
