“Fine me, I don’t care, I’m rich”.

Paulo Kirk

May 15, 2026

“Fine me, I don’t care, I’m rich”. Igor Lytvynchuk is reported to be a Ukrainian immigrant living in Washington State.

The Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) is investigating social media postings on Instagram that appear to show an adult male throwing an object toward a monk seal while it was swimming in the water off the Lahaina shoreline.

Yesterday, the Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement’s (DOCARE) Maui Branch was notified of a case of monk seal harassment by Maui Police Department Dispatch. A DOCARE officer received the call and responded to the scene. While en route, the officer was able to contact the reporting party and obtain a description of the alleged suspect. When the officer arrived at the scene, the officer contacted a 37-year-old adult male from Seattle, Washington, who matched the description of the suspect. The male was detained, identified, and advised of his legal rights. The male declined to make a statement and invoked his legal rights by requesting counsel of an attorney.

In accordance with the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), which provides protection for Hawaiian monk seals, DOCARE will be turning over the state investigation of this incident to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of Law Enforcement (NOAA-OLE) for further review and action.

At this time, the alleged suspect has not been criminally charged, so DOCARE will not be releasing any information on his identity.

On Oʻahu, there have been several reports of members of the public breaching the temporary fence at Kaimana Beach that marks the resting area for Kaiwi (RK96), a 15-year-old female monk seal, and her pup. Kaiwi gave birth on the beach on May 3.

“This is a very crucial time in the life of this pup, so for these people to be breaching the area and getting close is not a good idea at all,” said DOCARE Chief Jason Redulla.

“If the mother seal perceives any human or pet to be a threat, she may attack. This is what happened during a 2022 encounter between a swimmer and a mother seal at Kaimana Beach. The swimmer suffered lacerations to her face, back, and arm,” Chief Redulla cautions.

“From past monk-seal-related incidents, we know that some of the NOAA fines have been substantial, totaling several thousand dollars,” added Chief Redulla.

“To keep people and pets safe, and to protect our endangered marine life, we ask the public’s help by showing respect for these animals and following all guidelines for safe viewing.”

When concerned bystanders confronted him about it, Lytvynchuk reportedly told them, “I don’t care, I’m rich. Fine me. I can pay for it.” A local heard that, saw what happened, and beat the shit out of him on the beach.

“Litvinchuk” (and variants like Litvintchouk) is an Eastern European surname with roots in Ashkenazi Jewish communities, typically derived from “Litvin,” a Yiddish or Slavic term for a person from Lithuania. It indicates geographic origin (the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania) and is often associated with the Ashkenazi Jewish diaspora, reflecting trade or crafting roles.

• Surname Origin: The name commonly means “Lithuanian” and was used to identify Jews from the region covering modern-day Lithuania, Belarus, and parts of Ukraine.
• Cultural Context: It is related to “Litvaks,” who are Jews from this region known for a distinct Yiddish dialect and a “non-Hasidic” approach to traditional Jewish life and learning.
• Variations: The name may appear as Litvinchuk, Litvintchik, or Litvintchouk, with the suffix denoting a Slavic diminutive

Headline from Rachel Blevins: BRICS IN CHAOS: IRAN BLASTS MEMBERS AS SUMMIT FALLS APART…. While Trump and Xi met in Beijing this week, the foreign ministers of the BRICS alliance met in New Delhi. The results were not good, and the BRICS summit ended without a joint statement, after it was blocked by the UAE.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said during the meeting that “Iran is a country that cannot be divided. The era of American dominance is over,” and he called out the UAE’s “own special relationship with Israel.”

Journalist Esteban Carrillo, Co-Host of the Cradle News Round-Up, noted that the BRICS’ inability to condemn the US and Israel’s illegal war of aggression against Iran has put the alliance “on the verge of irrelevance,” as countries in West Asia are now focusing more on local relations, with Iran exercising its control over the Strait of Hormuz and Saudi Arabia reportedly considering a regional pact.

Now, now, these are the fucking 17 million-year-old bricks that fucking toothless dirty transactional fucking BRICS needs to hold up some semblance of honor: The columnar basalt at Yaquina Head is approximately 14 to 16 million years old.

These spectacular rock formations were created by massive, ancient volcanic eruptions originating in eastern Oregon and Washington.

Basalt breccia (Ginkgo Basalt, Middle Miocene, 15.3 to 15.6 Ma; Yaquina Head, Oregon, USA)

This is a loose boulder on a gravelly marine shoreline at Yaquina Head, Oregon. Most of the clasts at the site are cobbles. The rocks here have eroded from the Ginkgo Basalt, one of many lava flows in the Miocene-aged Columbia River Flood Basalt.

Flood basalts are vast outpourings of lava from one or more large fractures in the crust. This rare type of volcanism is not occurring on Earth at present, but ancient flood basalt provinces can be examined – for example, the latest Cretaceous-aged Deccan Traps of India and the latest Permian Siberian Traps of Russia. Flood lavas are also known on Mercury, Venus, and the Moon.

The Ginkgo Basalt is a voluminous lava flow that originated from a feeder dike in southeastern Washington State, traveled westward about 550 kilometers, and reached the Pacific Ocean. Yaquina Head, Oregon, is the distal-most occurrence of the flow. Rocks in the Ginkgo Basalt include aphanitic basalt, microporphyritic basalt, porphyritic basalt, columnar jointed basalt, pillow basalt, basaltic glass (altered & unaltered), basalt breccia, vesicular basalt, scoriaceous basalt, aa flow tops, and pahoehoe flow tops.

The boulder seen here is composed of basalt breccia, which formed when the original lava flow entered the Pacific Ocean. Lava-water interactions fragmented the material into variably-shaped and variably-sized clasts. The orangish to orangish-brown matrix between the breccia’s clasts is palagonite, a hydrous weathering product from basaltic glass.

Provenance: Ginkgo Basalt, Frenchman Springs Member, Wanapum Basalt, Columbia River Flood Basalt Group, Middle Miocene, 15.3 to 15.6 Ma

MILLIONS of years AGO? What the Fuck, the Bible did Not Tell me SO!

• Orthodox Jew: Generally view the narrative as a factual historical event, though many embrace symbolic or mystical interpretations within the text.
• Conservative & Reform Jew: Often view the story as an allegory or a foundational myth, prioritizing the moral, spiritual, and ethical lessons over physical historicity.

If the vessel had to hold two of every one of the roughly 8.7 million species living on Earth today, a standard ship would fail immediately.

• The Dimensions: The ship would need to be 4 to 5 miles long and nearly a mile wide.
• The Logistics: You would have to replicate the world’s oceans in massive, heavy aquariums for marine life. The weight of food alone—such as 220,000 pounds of vegetation per year for just one elephant—would require cargo storage spaces that dwarf the animals themselves. Furthermore, an immense “live prey” ecosystem would be required to feed carnivores without modern refrigeration.
• Structural Reality: A wooden ship of this size would suffer catastrophic structural failure. It would require steel, titanium, and nuclear-grade propulsion to support its life-support systems.

The First Survivor (not my words because Ellie Wiesel if a fucking Jew fraud.)

NOTE: Jewish humanistic intellectuals, such as Professor Tony Judt and musician Gilad Atzmon deplore Israel’s self-indulgence and lack of maturity. Judt writes: “Israel still comports itself like an adolescent: consumed by a brittle confidence in its own uniqueness; certain that no one ‘understands’ it and everyone is ‘against’ it; full of wounded self-esteem, quick to take offence and quick to give it … that it can do as it wishes, that its actions carry no consequences, and that it is immortal.”

Atzmon writes:

“We are dealing here with a uniquely and seriously disturbed immature nation. We are dealing with a self-loving narcissistic child …. The more the Israelis love themselves and their delusional phantasmic innocence, the more they are frightened that people out there may be as sadistic as they themselves proved to be. This behavioural mode is called projection …. Jews have a very good reason to be frightened. Their national state is a racist, genocidal entity.”

Quoting Jewish Crap: Elie Wiesel, the great writer, offers a poignant insight. Wiesel calls Noah the first “survivor.” The world had experienced a Holocaust, and Noah was reluctant to walk out of the ark because he knew that the entire world was one giant graveyard for all the people he had known–and he just couldn’t face it.

Once on dry land, after giving thanks to God and bringing sacrifices, the Torah tells us that Noah’s reaction to the flood is to plant. Planting after a great destruction is surely a meaningful and satisfying response. It represents hope and belief in the future.

But what does Noah plant? He plants a vine and drinks the wine of the vineyard. He becomes drunk and wallows in the muck in his tent. Poor Noah. He cannot face the fact that everybody except himself and his immediate family was destroyed in the flood. He is unable to face reality. He needs an escape and resorts to alcohol. He becomes a drunkard.

Noah’s response to the flood is not dissimilar to the reactions of some Holocaust survivors in our own generation. Some survivors were just not capable of facing the fact that they were singled out to live, while their beloved friends and relatives, mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters had been murdered.

Oh, those fucking Larry Davids and Mel Brooks Jews of old:

According to Genesis 6:15, God gave Noah exact proportions using “cubits” (the distance from an adult’s elbow to fingertip): 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.

• Using a standard 18-inch cubit, the ship measures 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high.

Fucking Banana Republic: Visiting Japanese I met were looking at this fucked up signage at Yaquina Head, a wonderful place. It’s older than Trump’s current presidency, the wear and tear. What a fucked up world. And that fucking Ukrainian Jew? He’d be tossing rocks at this harbor seal:

I ran into a bunch of dirty Ukrainians in Spokane. THe fucking women are handmaids, against school bonds, anti-women’s rights, and the men? Fucking chop shop and real cunts of a bunch of scammers. Violent too. So, this sign would be burned if those Ukrainians were around. They smoke a lot, so always a lighter in the mix. And flammable vodka.

No cigarette butts on the trail up to this viewpoint, but then again, no fucking Ukrainians around:

These fucking Ukrainian Jews would be gathering up the eggs for resale on the black market:

Oh, those sentimental Jews would be picking these Oregon iris plants, not so common, and the flower for the rare Silverspot butterfly, to give to one of their fucking dirty Barbara Streisand look-alikes.

My old stomping grounds: They got their fucking Jew Prez, man, always a liar, always a turncoat:

United States officials will soon be operating inside a massive surveillance tower in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juárez on intelligence-sharing missions—even as Mexico grapples with a diplomatic and political scandal related to the deaths of two CIA agents who were operating inside Mexico without authorization, sources within the Chihuahua state government confirmed.

On April 19, two CIA officials and two officials with Chihuahua State Attorney General’s Office officials died in a car accident in northern Mexico while working on a counter-narcotics operation to seize and decommission a large methamphetamine lab in the state.

Immediately after the incident, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said that Chihuahua’s state government had violated the national security law by collaborating with the CIA without the federal government’s sign-off. The Mexican government also said in a statement that the CIA officials did not have authorization to enter the country to participate in operations. Mexico’s 2020 national security law requires the federal government approve any officials’ collaboration with foreign governments and expressly prohibits the participation of foreign agents in operations, with collaboration limited to information sharing.

Sheinbaum praised the bilateral collaboration between the U.S. and Mexico and expressed her hope that this incident would be an “isolated case.” The incident, however, has led to a standoff between the federal government and the state government of Chihuahua. That same week, the state attorney general stepped down from his position.

Chihuahua Governor María Eugenia Campos Galván has opened a state-level investigation into the CIA deaths, and on May 12 said she did not approve the participation of “foreign people” in the meth lab operation. After a senator accused Campos of treason, Campos declined to appear before the Mexican Senate’s Constitutional Points and Public Security Committee.

Despite the political scandal that has raised concern about U.S. government involvement in Mexico, Chihuahua is pressing ahead with a close collaboration with U.S. agencies—with the approval of the Mexican federal government, a Chihuahua spokesperson confirmed to Drop Site this week. Representatives from five different U.S. federal agencies—the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, Homeland Security Investigations, and Customs and Border Protection—are slated to work out of the 18th floor of the new building in Juárez, known as the Centinela Tower. The agencies are expected to exchange intelligence with Mexican officials related to drug and weapons smuggling, organized crime, and immigration enforcement, according to four high-ranking officials from Chihuahua’s State Department of Public Security (SSPE).

Good little Tio Tacos, our House You Know What Negroes: The SSPE is already running a state-of-the-art surveillance operation—known as Plataforma Centinela, or sentinel platform—out of a command center in Juárez that monitors data from surveillance cameras, license plate readers, drones, helicopters, public panic buttons, and other intelligence-gathering technology.

Oh, that’s right, Judaism and Zionism and Israel are almost DOA according to all the Substacks. Israel set for first-ever F-35 external fuel tank upgrade in force buildup push

New capability would reduce reliance on aerial refueling and improve operational flexibility in long-range missions. But it remains unclear if it would affect aircraft’s stealth capabilities.

Jews will be back in Havana soon:

CIA Director John Ratcliffe, who typically keeps his international travel confidential, made a high-profile trip to Havana on Thursday, holding a meeting with Cuban officials as he delivered a stern warning demanding dramatic changes without delay, according to a CIA official and a statement from the Cuban government.

“Director Ratcliffe traveled to Havana to initiate substantive discussions on the essential steps the Cuban regime must do to build a productive relationship with the United States,” a CIA official said in an email Thursday.

The director made clear that time was short and Cuba needed to act, suggesting that if the regime dragged its feet, it might face the same fate as the government in Venezuela, according to the CIA official.

Ratcliffe “emphasized that the U.S. is extending a genuine opportunity for collaboration, and — as evidenced by Venezuela — President Trump must be taken seriously,” the official said.

The spy agency director also repeated the demand from Washington that Cuba stop accommodating adversaries; U.S. officials have long maintained that Moscow and Beijing use the island 90 miles off Florida’s coast to conduct espionage directed against the United States.

Ratcliffe told his Cuban counterparts that Havana “can no longer serve as a platform for adversaries to advance hostile agendas in our hemisphere.”

Cuba was designated a “state sponsor of terrorism,” accused of harboring Colombian rebel groups and U.S. fugitives, a status reinstated last year by Trump. It reversed a short-lived move by the Biden administration.

According to a statement from Havana, Cuba provided information to the U.S. that “made it possible to categorically demonstrate that Cuba does not constitute a threat to U.S. national security, nor are there legitimate reasons to include it on the list of countries that allegedly sponsor terrorism.”

The Trump administration began exploring earlier this year whether the Justice Department could charge members of the regime or the Communist Party with crimes, NBC News had reported. The multi-agency effort was being led by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida.

The possible charges were first reported by CBS News.

The 1996 downing of the planes remains one of the most politically charged episodes in modern U.S.-Cuba relations.

The volunteers routinely flew over the Florida Straits looking for Cuban refugees making their way to the U.S. on makeshift boats.

Fidel Castro, who was president at the time, claimed that the planes violated Cuban airspace and that they were downed as a defense against “terrorist threats.” Raúl Castro was head of the armed forces at the time.

Not to be outdone by their American Nazi-Gestapo counterparts, the UK backs human rights plan to accelerate illegal migration removals.

13 men killed by US military boat strikes identified: ‘These were flesh-and-blood people.’

All victims of US strikes in the eastern Pacific and the Caribbean identified so far came from extremely poor communities.

“Despite the US claim that the strikes are fighting narco-terrorism, what is actually happening is that young people living in extremely precarious conditions, doing whatever work they can to support their families, are being targeted,” said María Teresa Ronderos, director and co-founder of the CLIP.

“The US is not taking down any Pablo Escobar or Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán,” she added.

The investigation also underlined what other reports and security analysts have concluded: that the strikes have not reduced the flow of drugs to the US, but have instead torn apart communities already fractured and weakened by organised crime and state neglect.

“There are communities where they stopped fishing for several weeks – and if they do that, people go hungry – because they were terrified of being bombed,” said Ronderos.

The main finding, she said, was putting names and faces to a greater number of victims, “to show that these were flesh-and-blood people” – even if the vast majority remain unidentified.

And who do we get to do lawfare on for all the birth defects, cancers, and stillborns?

Roundup in the National Forests: How the U.S. Forest Service Is Turning California’s Wildlands into Tree Farms

Glyphosate spraying in California’s forests are poisoning post‑fire landscapes, endangering wildlife, and exposing a captured system that treats public lands as cheap timber.

The head of U.S. Border Patrol, the agency tasked with securing the nation’s frontiers and increasingly tapped by the Trump administration for immigration operations in American cities, announced his resignation Thursday.

Michael Banks’ decision, announced in a Fox News interview and later confirmed by the Department of Homeland Security, is the latest leadership shake-up of officials implementing President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown and comes as the Republican administration appears to be recalibrating its approach to its centerpiece policy of mass deportations.

“It’s just time,” Banks was quoted as saying in a report on the Fox News website, which said the resignation was effective immediately. “I feel like I got the ship back on course,” he said, referring to what he described as previous chaos at the southern border. Banks said it was “time to enjoy the family and life.”

Fucking Anglo InBred Saxon QueenLander: The Etymology: The name is derived from the Old English word banke or Middle English bank(e) (which itself comes from the Old Norse banki), meaning a slope, hillside, or riverbank.

[Pentagon officials stunned by Hegseth decision on troops in Poland… It wasn’t clear why the Defense secretary issued the order not to send troops on a routine mission to a country the administration refers to as a “model ally.”]

This is all this fucking CUNT-tree has to offer: mercenaries, talk of mercenaries, uniformed slave patrols, ACAB, SWAT-FBI-Delta, DEA, et al. Think about that, Yankee Doodle Dandies — fucking a militarized CUNT-tree, on all levels, even and especially the fucking TEchTErrorists.

Until we get the flaccid fucks in Holly-Dirt making the fucking celebrity news. [Harrison Ford has an estimated net worth of $350 million. This wealth has been accumulated over a prolific six-decade career in Hollywood, heavily driven by his starring roles in massive blockbuster franchises like Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

In an inspiring speech to the class of 2026, actor Harrison Ford admitted to the mistakes of his generation before calling on young people to change the world.

He kicked off his commencement address on Monday at Arizona State University by admitting he didn’t always make the best choices when he was young. “I was squandering my life in riotous living,” the 83-year-old said of his college years. He found himself in a drama class looking for an easy A grade, but fell in love with acting.

“Hiding in character, costume, and makeup, I had a freedom, a bravery I had never felt before – and I got an A!” he joked. “I was, I realized, present for possibly the very first time in my life. My passion had led me to the community.”

Ford pursued acting, he told the students, while working carpentry jobs to pay the bills and support his family. Even after the success “Star Wars,” when things got easier, something still wasn’t quite right.

85 Billionaires and the Better Half by Michael Parenti

Image by S. Phelps/UNHCR Photo Unit via Flickr

by Michael Parenti / February 18, 2014

The world’s 85 richest individuals possess as much wealth as the 3.5 billion souls who compose the poorer half of the world’s population, or so it was announced in a report by Oxfam International. The assertion sounds implausible to me. I think the 85 richest individuals, who together are worth many hundreds of billions of dollars, must have far more wealth than the poorest half of our global population.

How could these two cohorts, the 85 richest and 3.5 billion poorest, have the same amount of wealth? The great majority of the 3.5 billion have no net wealth at all. Hundreds of millions of them have jobs that hardly pay enough to feed their families. Millions of them rely on supplements from private charity and public assistance when they can. Hundreds of millions are undernourished, suffer food insecurity, or go hungry each month, including many among the very poorest in the United States.

Most of the 3.5 billion earn an average of $2.50 a day. The poorest 40 percent of the world population accounts for just 5 percent of all global income. About 80 percent of all humanity live on less than $10 a day. And the poorest 50 percent maintain only 7.2 percent of the world’s private consumption. How exactly could they have accumulated an amount of surplus wealth comparable to the 85 filthy richest?

Hundreds of millions live in debt even in “affluent” countries like the United States. They face health care debts, credit card debts, college tuition debts, and so on. Many, probably most who own homes— and don’t live in shacks or under bridges or in old vans— are still straddled with mortgages. This means their net family wealth is negative, minus-zero. They have no propertied wealth; they live in debt.

Millions among the poorest 50 percent in the world may have cars but most of them also have car payments. They are driving in debt. In countries like Indonesia, for the millions without private vehicles, there are the overloaded, battered buses, poorly maintained vehicles that specialize in breakdowns and ravine plunges. Among the lowest rungs of the 50 percent are the many who pick through garbage dumps and send their kids off to work in grim, soul-destroying sweatshops.

The 85 richest in the world probably include the four members of the Walton family (owners of Wal-Mart, among the top ten superrich in the USA) who together are worth over $100 billion. Rich families like the DuPonts have controlling interests in giant corporations like General Motors, Coca-Cola, and United Brands. They own about forty manorial estates and private museums in Delaware alone and have set up 31 tax-exempt foundations. The superrich in America and in many other countries find ways, legal and illegal, to shelter much of their wealth in secret accounts. We don’t really know how very rich the very rich really are.

Regarding the poorest portion of the world population— whom I would call the valiant, struggling “better half”—what mass configuration of wealth could we possibly be talking about? The aggregate wealth possessed by the 85 super-richest individuals, and the aggregate wealth owned by the world’s 3.5 billion poorest, are of different dimensions and different natures. Can we really compare private jets, mansions, landed estates, super luxury vacation retreats, luxury apartments, luxury condos, and luxury cars, not to mention hundreds of billions of dollars in equities, bonds, commercial properties, art works, antiques, etc.— can we really compare all that enormous wealth against some millions of used cars, used furniture, and used television sets, many of which are ready to break down? Of what resale value if any, are such minor durable-use commodities? especially in communities of high unemployment, dismal health and housing conditions, no running water, no decent sanitation facilities, etc. We don’t really know how poor the very poor really are.

Millions of children who number in the lower 50 percent never see the inside of a school. Instead they labor in mills, mines and on farms, under conditions of peonage. Nearly a billion people are unable to read or write. The number of people living in poverty is growing at a faster rate than the world’s population. So poverty is spreading even as wealth accumulates. It is not enough to bemoan this enormous inequality, we must also explain why it is happening.

But for now, let me repeat: the world’s richest 85 individuals do not have the same amount of accumulated wealth as the world’s poorest 50 percent. They have vastly more. The multitude on the lower rungs—even taken as a totality—have next to nothing.

Politics on the dock

The economic strain of high diesel prices is feeding into broader political debates about the war in Iran.

Even with the fuel hikes, Pettinger said he supports the conflict and the Trump administration generally. During President Trump’s first term, Pettinger said he got a check in the mail through the Seafood Trade Relief Program to compensate for retaliatory tariffs.

“ I have never got any recognition from the federal government for anything before this guy came along,” Pettinger said, referring to Trump.

In Brookings, on the Southern Oregon coast, Brad Pettinger runs a trawl operation with two 80-foot boats, each with a 10,000 gallon fuel tank. He said he burns roughly 300 gallons per day.

And, thus, says Paulokirk,, may this cunt Pettinger die at sea. He supports that war, uh?

In the first hours of the war in Iran, a U.S. airstrike hit an elementary school, killing 168 civilians, most of whom were children. This incident occurred as Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth vowed the war would be prosecuted with “no stupid rules of engagement,” after slashing civilian harm mitigation efforts at the Pentagon.

Rising fuel costs ripple through Northwest’s fishing industry

On a sunny morning in Garibaldi, Oregon, Jesse Coon offloads his catch. Men in waterproof fishing bibs pack salmon into ice and hose out the boat, named Steel Fin.

Standing next to stacked coolers of freshly caught fish, Coon pulls out one of the Chinook salmon his crew just caught and explains how it senses bait in the water.

Fisherman Jesse Coon holds up a Chinook salmon in Garibaldi, Ore. on April 29, 2026.

Rachel Miller-Howard for OPB

“If you look at it really close, there’s actually pores — holes right there — and that’s their nervous system. And they can sense electricity that’s put off by bait fish, and every living creature,” he said.

But to find salmon, Coon has to travel miles offshore, searching for dense shoals and burning lots of fuel. Oregon’s commercial troll salmon season opened April 14, but the biggest catches typically arrive later in the summer. It’s still early in the season, and it’s hard to know how good the fishing will be.

Since the war in Iran began in late February, another factor is compounding that risk. Diesel costs have surged, cutting thousands of dollars from already thin margins.

“ It just makes your decision-making harder on when to go and when not to go, and whether to go a little early in the season when the fishing might not be quite as good. It just really feels like a gamble,” he said.

So far, he said, the numbers aren’t looking good.

“ We’ve probably made a few thousand dollars is all, after the fuel costs,” Coon said, referencing the first two weeks of salmon season. “ I could do that working at Home Depot or McDonald’s or something.”

CUNTS in a CUNTRY tis of THEM.

“We’re not just buying something,” Hegseth said just before the Iran War. “We are solving life and death problems for our war fighters. We’re not building for peacetime. We are pivoting the Pentagon and our industrial base to a wartime footing.”

Since the war in Iran began in late February, another factor is compounding that risk. Diesel costs have surged, cutting thousands of dollars from already thin margins.

“ It just makes your decision-making harder on when to go and when not to go, and whether to go a little early in the season when the fishing might not be quite as good. It just really feels like a gamble,” he said.

So far, he said, the numbers aren’t looking good.

“ We’ve probably made a few thousand dollars is all, after the fuel costs,” Coon said, referencing the first two weeks of salmon season. “ I could do that working at Home Depot or McDonald’s or something.”

Fisherman Jesse Coon unloads a catch from a recent fishing trip, at Garibaldi, Ore. on April 29, 2026.

Coon, a fourth-generation fisherman born and raised in Tillamook County, was considering tying up his boat for a week until the season ramps up to save on costs.

“But if everybody sits around and waits for a good fishing report, then nobody’s out there looking,” he said. “Somebody’s gotta do the gambling.”

Ultimately, Coon decided to keep fishing.

His great-grandfather moved to the area during World War II and fished for salmon out of Pacific City, back when they used rowboats with outboard motors.

Coon recently took his 6-year-old son out for a fishing trip. “Says he just wants to live on the ocean. So I guess it’s in the blood,” he said.

FUCK, tell that to a Palestinian or Colombian or Venezuelan fisherman! September 1, 2022

Israeli Naval Forces’ Ongoing Attacks against Palestinian Fishermen: 3 Boats Confiscated and 1 Boat Drowned

Human rights organizations, including the Israeli group B’Tselem and Palestinian entities like Al-Haq and the Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, have consistently reported that the Israeli Navy uses live ammunition, kinetic force, and water cannons against fishermen accused of breaching the designated nautical boundaries. These groups argue that enforcement actions frequently occur even well within the permitted fishing limits.

Reports document numerous incidents involving:

• Fatalities and Injuries: Dozens of fishermen have been killed or wounded at sea by naval fire over the decades. Following the outbreak of the Gaza war in October 2023, the Gaza Fishermen’s Syndicate and United Nations monitoring teams recorded more than 230 deaths among fishermen and their associates due to ongoing military strikes, shelling, and coastal operations.
• Detentions: Palestinian fishermen are regularly intercepted at sea, detained, and transferred to Israeli facilities for interrogation regarding potential security ties.
• Property Destruction: The Israeli military frequently confiscates or destroys fishing vessels, motors, and nets, and restricts the import of dual-use materials like fiberglass and engines needed for repairs.

Fuck these MAGA fishers. May they capsize out at sea and forever vanish:

The 57 confirmed bombings of boats that the Trump administration has carried out so far since last September have shattered families and communities across Latin America, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and US Southern Command never acknowledging the identities of the at least 192 people they’ve killed, beyond declaring them “narco-terrorists.”

But despite the concerted effort to keep the names and any information about the victims hidden—their identities “blown away over vast stretches of ocean,” as a new report states—20 journalists led by the Latin American Center for Investigative Journalism (CLIP) managed to identify 13 of the men whose killings have been called “murders” by legal experts and rights advocates.

Man, I hate this fucking CUNT-tree so much, and hate most mother-fucking Americanos, for sure, and anyone in fucking uniform with a gun, may he/she/they always be DOA unless otherwise proven human, proof of life.

I hate the people who want to deny USA’s genocidal nature, who want to defend USA, or who speak up for MAGA or Biden or Reagan or Carter or Eisenhower or …..

You can judge a country and its government by the people, man.

Yes, yes, but but: Who and how many are going to prison for this mass murder?

A US-made ballistic missile previously untested in combat struck a sports hall and an elementary school in southern Iran on the opening day of the US-Israeli war, according to a report by The New York Times.

The school and sports hall in Lamerd, Iran, featured damage consistent with a short-range ballistic missile called the Precision Strike Missile, or PrSM, which is designed to detonate just above its target and blast small tungsten pellets outward, the NYT reported on Monday.

Videos of two strikes verified by the NYT were also consistent with PrSM explosions, the report said, citing military experts.

[Lockheed Martin is the manufacturer of the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM).

The aerospace and defense company develops and produces the weapon system primarily through its Missiles and Fire Control division, with engineering based in Grand Prairie, Texas, and final assembly taking place at its manufacturing facility in Camden, Arkansas.

The United States is responsible for an attack on an Iranian primary school that killed at least 170 people, most of them children, Amnesty International has said in a new investigation, urging accountability for the assault.

The rights group said on Monday that a US-manufactured Tomahawk missile was likely used in the attack on the school in the southern city of Minab on February 28.

“Tomahawk missiles are used exclusively by US forces in this conflict and are precision-guided missiles,” it said.

“A policy of medical neglect, a policy of starvation.”

YET YET YET:

They came for her at 4 a.m. Again.

Four armored Israeli army jeeps. Twenty heavily armed soldiers. Stormed her family home in Birzeit. Held her parents at gunpoint. Searched the house. Blindfolded. Handcuffed. And took her away.

This was Layan Nasser’s reality in April 2024. A Palestinian Christian. A nutrition graduate. A human rights worker. A member of St. Peter’s Anglican Church. A daughter. A sister, and a friend.

Eight months later, today she walked, well actually, ran free.

But Layan’s story isn’t just about one woman’s release. It’s about what happens when a system tries to erase a people through the systematic detention of their most promising voices.

When Israeli soldiers stormed Layan’s home, they were making a statement: This is what happens when you organize. When you resist. When you dare to believe in something bigger than your own survival.

Layan was held under administrative detention—charged with nothing, tried with nothing, based on secret intelligence declaring her a “security threat.” No charges filed. No crime named. Just disappeared.

The Archbishop of Justin Welby called it “a breach of assurances made by Israel about the treatment of Christians.” The Bishop of Chelmsford visited Layan’s family and lit a candle for her in England. International outcry grew. Pressure mounted.

And finally, after eight months, they had to let her go.

But here’s what is heart-breaking: Layan’s release is the exception, not the rule. While the world celebrated her freedom, more than 3,443 Palestinians remain in administrative detention—held without charge, without trial, based on secret files they can never see.

Defense for Children International Palestine reports that the number of Palestinian children detained has quadrupled in 2005. Children.

Four times as many Palestinian children behind bars as before. Kids. Teenagers. Students. Arrested. Detained. Interrogated. Mistreated. Held without trial.

Layan’s previous arrest in 2021, two months spent in military detention for student activism, shows us this is not random. It’s a strategy to make people afraid to speak up. By making communities afraid to organize. By making the next generation afraid to dream.
