I am working on a screenplay, 'The Ghost of Hangman's Bridge', about the 1919 Centralia massacre as an indie film, this will be showing on big screen, dvd, and great soundtrack.  I will be telling the whole story, different aspect of the event that took place, before, during and after.

I went to Centralia to walk the walk of Wesley Everest, the wealther was as if it was 1919 all over again.... from Tower to his grave.  I heard people tell me about the event... I was interviewed by Aaron a reporter from the Centralia Chronicle paper (January 18th issue) and couple of days later the phone started ringing, emails and letters from several people of Centralia and Chehalis... the loggers, legions, mob, eighty five years later and some people still have a hard time talking about the massacre... those people where interview on tape.

Nothing but great responses, except for one letter! 

Don't forget to sign my guestbook when you visit www.ghostofhangmansbridge.com

If anyone has any of the newspapers of the event, please contact me asap.  If you have a interview on video about the event or just want to write, please do so.  I have actors waiting to work and a film crew ready to shoot some scenes in December.  So keep sending money for the film, need to raise close to $25,000,000.00 for the whole film.  To shoot several trailers, I need $300 thousand asap.  

Here's a copy of a letter to the editor I submitted to The Olympian almost two weeks ago. They only rarely let letters they receive go unpublished - so says their editorial policy. But this one has gone unpublished for almost two weeks. No letter that I have sent to the editor has taken this long to be published. However, if they do eventually publish it, I'll be sure to update this blog entry.

When a thief enters a bank and hands the teller a note demanding cash at gunpoint, there is no question as to the illegality of that act. It is bank robbery, and it is a criminal act.

When a nation’s military might is used to perpetrate a war of aggression, a similar logic holds true. The war of aggression is an illegal act, and its masterminds and executors are criminals.

The war in Iraq was based on fraudulent premises. A variety of sources and examples support and confirm this conclusion. For example, a Downing Street memo stated, “the facts were being fixed around the policy.

The United States Coast Guard is currently patrolling the waters of Budd Inlet, using four of the five F.A.S.T. Boats they normally deploy when escorting military ships in the South Sound. The USCG unit is called the Marine Safety and Security Team (MSST) 91101, and was the first unit of its type founded after the implosion of the World Trade Center complex in 2001.

It is not known at this time whether the team is here to secure an actual military cargo, but if they were they would be escorting a ship inbound, to drop off material. There is no military equipment visible on the quay now, other than the USCG equipment.

Personnel have related through the fence that they are there only for an excercise. Persons who have waterfront views on the South Sound are asked to call 870-3127 if they see any military vessels southbound.

Port Militarization resistance is NOT calling out protests or vigils at this time, but observers ARE being mobilized. Please check in with your team leaders.

This message is for open distribution on any list.

On October 19, the Thurston Democrats will hold a forum on environmental protection and growth issues. Entitled "Conserving Communities, a conversation on growth management and environmental protection," it will be a great opportunity to discuss the issues brought up by Initiative 933.

The forum will be held at St John's Episcopal Church at 114 20th Ave SE, Olympia (map) from 7 to 9 p.m.

The forum will be moderated by State Senator Karen Fraser.

Speakers to include:

• Eric de Place, a senior research associate, with the Sightline Institute and blogger at the Daily Score. He has written extensively about the property rights and the impact Measure 37 (a proposition similar to I-933) has had on Oregon.
• David Troutt, chair of the Nisqually River Council, a decades long effort to bring together residents of the Nisqually watershed to assure protected natural resources and a strong economy. The council recently released a sustainability plan that will advance these goals.
• Sandra Romero, a former state representative, and active member of Livable Thurston will represent the No on I-933 campaign.
