Puget Sound Gifting (Don's comments)

I had posted this in Ben’s thread but it was hard to read, so here goes, here:

Thanks, Ben! We had a lot of fun that day and did a lot of damage [Image Can Not Be Found] and the dolphin sighting felt like a Thank You from the cetaceans for ruining the fun at the US Navy’s Head[hind?]quarters for their bloody war against the whales and dolphins in the Pacific Theatre. If I’m not mistaken, spinner dolphins are not seen in cold water. Puget Sound is orca territory, too, so I doubt dolphins are seen there except very rarely. Carol confirmed (at least for me) the success of our final assault on the Navy’s underground base.

When Georg and his family visited us last October (2009) we took the boat over to the other side of that big underground Navy base to drop a bunch of earthpipes, so this was the finish. During this summer’s two gifting sorties to the Sound the Navy was jamming our sonar whenever we were in open water so that the only way we could determine the water depth was to check the GPS nautical chart. When the motor started dragging on the gravel bottom, which Ben mentioned, the chart inidcated six feet but the tide was quite low. I raised the motor a bit in that case and we slowly got back to deeper water. I was trying to get us farther into the little shallow bay to drop the EPs.

We were just offshore of Ft Lewis on the first sortie (a month before Ben and I went) in what should have been 50 feet of water or so and Carol leaned over the side and yelled at me to slow down because she saw the bottom only three or four feet down (top of an underwater structure, evidently).

We had been told that the Bangor Submarine Base was the northern terminus of an underwater cable that runs all the way to San Diego, the purpose of which was to help prevent rain in the western states of the US. Power was apparently generated by a nuclear reactor at Bangor. The side that Ben and I did was right across the narrow peninsula from the visible facility.

That underground base evidently extends 10 miles or so to the south, where the Navy has a port facility in Bremerton. Ryan McGinty and I graced the land portion of that underground $#!+hole with a dozen earthpipes, six years ago, when we had just learned what earthpipes can do to these bases. Ryan has the peculiar ability of sensing where there are rocks underground. He holds his hand over the ground to find the right spot to pound the pipe in. He never missed. MOst of the time I hit a rock a few inches down and have to try another spot. I got a powerful portable drill that can dig a hole well enough to just push a pipe in but probably won’t need to use that until we get to another place that has really hard ground, like a desert [Image Can Not Be Found]

I almost got arrested in Death Valley when the Green Boots caught sight of me depositing an earthpipe behind a creosote bush and reported me to the Park Gestapo. When the top cop was grilling me I drew her attention to how green it had gotten since we started doing this, though I denied putting that EP in the ground. Her countenance softened and even though the feds were probably yelling at her to give us to them she let us go. We then deposited the rest of the EPs to the north. I think that was in late 2004.

Sometimes it takes a LOT of EPs to get a job done. Sometimes not so many. Some of these bases are measured in cubic miles, after all, and the sewer rats keep extending them. It’s cost effective to make them abandon multi-billion dollar facilities with just a hundred dollars worth of material, don’t you think?

I don’t know if you remember, but after Steve Baron and crew had distributed about 20,000 towerbusters, etc., throughout the Tornoto area there was still a persistent HAARP whiteout at a high altitude (looks like a thin sheet when you fly through it on a passenger jet). DB suggested that someone get over to New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and/or Labrador and pitch a lot of orgonite in the sea to disrupt a similar nuke-powered cable that runs from Labrador to Miami or the Keys. Becca in Newfoundland, who occasionally posts gifting reports, here, jumped into the breech and did the deed, then that HAARP whiteout over Toronto disappeared for good [Image Can Not Be Found] --nice confirmation! We later took care of the south end of that undersea cable weapon, evidently. I want to do the San Diego end of the Pacific cable for good measure. I bet you guessed that it’s at the Navy’s hive under San Diego Harbor.

I think we nailed that Bangor Sub Base hive pretty thoroughly by now.

The sewer rats who pretend to be our government are probably frustrated at not being able to just shoot us for doing it, too, or disappear us into their Gulag Archipelago [Image Can Not Be Found]

Ben’s a trouper–when we were crossing the Sound from Edmonds (ten miles north of Seattle) over to get that underground base it was pretty rough going and it’s a good thing we stopped and got him some good raingear becasue he was getting dosed with buckets of cold saltwater every few seconds in the back seat. The Zodiac’s float on the left side came partly loose and I hadn’t gotten around to repositioning it. I’m in the process of doing that this week. Otherwise, this thing will go through some horrific seas at a reasonable speed and you don’t even get your feet wet.

There are LOTS of pleasure boats on the Sound in summer because it’s quite beautiful. The next 500 TBs for the Sound will be distributed along the west side of Whidbey Island from Edmonds, over to Port Townsend, then through Deception Pass back down along the east side of Whidbey Island (I’ve always wanted to sail there).

We plan these trips to take advantage of the prevailing winds and perhaps tides. The tides produce some pretty amazing rips and steep, close waves in places around those islands and inlets.

The last 500 or so will go around the San Juan Islands and Bellingham Bay, where there may be an underwater pyramid that’s visible on side-view sonar, which I got for the boat this summer. I’m told that if you go near there, a Navy boat chases you away so I’m looking forward to that ‘close encounter’ [Image Can Not Be Found]

Are you mystified by my latest invention, ‘The Twelve?’ I sure hope so because that device is created when no amount of force will get 12 funky towerbusters (that’s mainly what I produce for our campaigns) out of the muffin mold, which is then sacrificed for the greater good.
