Carry On

  I just finished reading a detailed account of the Bellerophon-a 74 gun British Navy  man-o-war, and the  sea battles she was involved in.
  My great grandfather John Huntingford was an officer  on a British Navy man-o-war. I know from accounts by my aunt he had been in two wars in China sailing up rivers, had rounded both capes, had talked about Sugerloaf Mountain in Brazil, was called Mr.- which meant he was an officer as the ships carpenter, and had said the worst weather he had seen was in the Straits of Juan de Fuca. After I finished reading the above book I understood my great grandfathers life in detail and what he had been through in war and on the sea. My belief that he was a great seaman and warrior was confirmed.
  I also understood why I have always loved the sea and why I am a natural warrior. They are traits that come from my great grandfather. Footnote.
  In spite of the above new found knowledge of my great grandfather I still had one unresolved question about him.
  I know from talking to my friend who is retired from the British Royal Navy as a naval seal and McCurdy-industrialist and historian, my great grandfather jumped ship in Victoria B. C. My family denies this but my friend says he has no doubt he jumped ship and actually admires him for this. Recently he told me they must have really done my great grandfather wrong for him to jump ship because he was an officer as the ships carpenter and he should have been treated better than anyone on the ship. Ever since he said that I have been asking myself why they treated him thus.
  I now know the answer and my friend confirms my conclusions.
  England was taking opium from its colony of India and selling it in China in return for tea. This would have been the main source of wealth for England.
  The Chinese population was continually on opiates and not working because of their addiction to opium. Finally the emperor of China closed all of China's ports to English ships to keep the opium out of China. England fought two wars over this with China which my great grandfather would have been in and which he would have been against. He would have spoken out that it was wrong what England was doing making drug addicts of the Chinese people and destroying China.This was the reason for his harsh treatment and jumping ship and homesteading in America.
  He was elected county commissioner in Jefferson County, Washington. He spoke out against his three fellow commissioners wanting to take kickbacks on the new courthouse under construction and wanting to use inferior bricks from a Saint Louis company. This was organized crime and corrupt politicians-the 'Third Level', he went up against. He was sucessful and to this day it stands as a national historic sight in Port Townsend, Washington because quality bricks were used. His name is on the cornerstone although he was not elected again. Later he was elected as judge of Jefferson County because of his reputation for honesty.
  Today as this blog documents week after week I am standing up against organized crime and the 'Third Level' and the drug scourge which is now destroying this country just like the drug scourge my great grandfather stood against was destroying China.
  My great grandfather as I said was a great seaman and warrior and I am humbled to know his traits have passed to me and I can carry on as a seaman and warrior in the tradition of my great grandfather.
  Out of all the many relatives I have my great grandfathers most treasured possession- his sea chest. His spirit is always with me.

Note:
  I would be remiss if I didn't mention my father who instilled in me my initial love for the sea and built me my first sailboat.
  He  was a career federal civil servant like Thomas Wales, only working for the Internal Revenue Service.
  He was the lead witness in the trial of Dave Beck-the original organizer of the International Teamsters Union who used murder as an organizing weapon. The U.S. Attorney credited my father with setting the tone for the trial which resulted in this organized crime figure going to federal prison.
  Not surprisingly most people in Seattle considered him wrongly convicted and he became a folk hero.
  The U.S. Attorney who put together the prosecution was from Tacoma as was my father-my home town.
  My father also like my great grandfather has been an example to follow relating to organized crime.

Evidence

  We now have evidence related to the attempts on my life which will lead straight to Ronald Siegertz and Henry Hill and the countries largest marijuana plantations in Chelan and Kittatas Counties and the solving of the assassinations of U.S. Assistant Attorney Thomas Wales and Washington State Patrol employees Anne Miller-Hewitt, Gary Miller, and Kristopher Sperry:
  DNA; fingerprints; meth drug paraphernalia; two large garbage bags along with a blood stained rag dumped on my property-see footnote; a license plate number; proof of a driveby shooting at my home using a twelve gauge shotgun; proof of 12 gauge shotgun blasts using largest pellets and automatic weapons fire closeby my home; miscellaneous items; and one object to be used as a weapon against me.
  After my February 22, 2011 post-Total Victory, organized crime came to my street where I live and collected all items left in front of my property. They knew these miscellaneous items would have fingerprints which would lead to Ronald Siegertz, Henry Hill, the 'Third Level' (organized crimes infiltration of law enforcement, the courts, and politicians) and the solving of the above assassinations.
  The attempts to silence me continue because I am exposing the truth regarding the assassinations of U.S. Assistant Attorney Thomas Wales, and Washington State Patrol Trooper Gary Miller, Washington State Patrol Trooper Kristopher Sperry, and Washington State Patrol communications manager Anne Miller-Hewitt and why their assassinations are being covered-up and unsolved.
  This post is meant to be read in conjunction with my previous post-Why Inform?

  Footnote; My friend who is retired from the British Royal Navy as a naval seal and advising me on my personal safety, was greatly alarmed when I told him about the garbage bags and blood stained rag and how I believe their could be poison inside meant for my pure black german shepherd Ninja. He agreed with that and then said: "There could be a body inside."
  Because the King County Sheriff's Department destroyed evidence-see February 22, 2011 post, I reported this evidence to the Washington State Patrol. They had no response.

Why Inform?

  The following quotes are from "Drugs and Ships" by Kenneth Luck, International Maritime Organization, London England:
 "During the latter part of the twentieth century, illicit drugs have become the scourge of the civilised world threatening not only the health and life of the community but the very fabric of the society in which we live.
  Their use commands the attention of governments, politicians, businessmen, in fact everyone down to the man and woman in the street".
  "No-one will suggest that the fight is going to be easy....But that is not to say that every individual, if only in a small way, cannot and should not, do something to help."
  "Drugs are of concern to everyone.
  They kill, they maim, they destroy quality of life. They undermine economies, wreck families ( I have personally experienced this with my own family) and both promote and sustain many types of criminal activity.(I have personally seen this with my own family.)
  The drug habit recognises no barriers of colour, race, creed, politics, sex, age, social standing-in fact the habit respects nothing and no-one."
  "If only one life is saved as a consequence, the effort will have been worthwhile."
 " Whilst the efforts of  Popeye Doyle (Gene Hackman) in the "French Connection" films were great entertainment, the real world of crime investigation-and drug trafficking in particular-is something totally different.
  One of the factors which makes effective investigation so difficult is the nature of the enemy which is, to employ an already over-used expression, "organized crime"."
  "In cannabis trafficking there will be found the large multi-national organizations providing sophisticated operations in production, transport and distribution very much in parallel with the cocaine and heroin systems."
  "By way of summary, it is fair to say that if drugs in quanity are to be considered the problem, then it has to be accepted that the enemy is organised crime. Not only is it organised but it is funded to a degree which makes the national budgets allocated for anti-drug campaigns look like the petty cash box.
  The answer can only lie in concerted, co-ordinated positive action in which, to correct the imbalance of funding, the utmost use is made of intelligence from all possible sources."
  "Drug trafficking is playing for very high stakes and there are enormous resources behind the operation.
Therefore great care should be taken when dealing with any aspect of drugs. The criminals are violent and will use force without hesitation even with fatal results."
  "Why Should I Do Anything?"
 " ...I can be just like those three monkeys-"hear nothing, see nothing and say nothing." In that way I get no bother."
 "Whilst everyone will know, deep down, what is right and what is wrong and we are pleased when a criminal gets caught, there is still that something, somewhere, that makes us hope that it's the other guy who has to do it. We don't much care what happens as long as it's "not-in-my-back-yard".
  And yet, somewhere...
  The fridge door in the mortuary is pulled open and a cotton covered body is pulled out. The face is exposed by the attendant. A voice straining to stifle the sob that comes to the throat says, "Yes, that's her, that's my daughter....
  This isn't fiction, it is fact.
  In developed countries of the world, addicts are now numbered in millions and each is on the road which can eventually lead to the morgue.
  There's not a day goes by but someone, somewhere in the world, dies-not just because of drugs alone but because someone, somewhere, who could have done something, did nothing.
  Not only is there the question of the addiction itself, but the drug scene is the breeding grounds for all type of crime.
  Washington, instead of being the Garden Capital of the States is the Murder Capital of the country with the majority of these crimes caused by drugs, either as an effect of the habit or in battles amongst pushers for selling grounds.
  We are now seeing instances where infants are being born with AIDS as a result of their addicted mothers sharing infected needles with an AIDS sufferer during pregnancy.
  And all this happens because too many people keep too quiet for too long.
  It is not easy to bring yourself to inform.
  And yet, because of the consequences which may, eventually, affect you and your family, is there really any contest?
  No, not really."
  "As was said in the Introduction to this book "If only one life is saved as a consequence, the effort will have been well worthwhile.""

"Drugs and Ships" was written for sea captains and seamen throughout the world but is relevant for everyone.
