    The Sierra County Grand Jury has just handed
    down an indictment for manslaughter against the
    Original Sixteen to One Mine and some of its key
    employees. The California District Attorney’s
    Association has been a key player in pushing the
    Grand Jury into this indictment.

    The CDAA is a group of attorneys who stand ready
    to assist county district attorneys when their
    support services have been requested. Sierra
    County never initially requested their services. CDAA
    just appeared one day at the door. What motivated
    the CDAA to push for this criminal investigation and
    not Sierra County will always be a question.

    The CDAA is a political organization swooping down
    like birds of prey with an agenda of their own. This
    has all been done outside of their legal status
    contract with the State’s Labor Department who
    employs this private contractor. Over zealous?
    You bet it is!

    It is strongly suggested by the State Labor
    Departments’s inaction to censure the CDAA that
    they condone this trespass outside the legal boundries
    of their contract with this group of attorneys. This is
    no more than a breach of legal ethics for both parties
    and constitutes an embarrassment for the State.

    The CDAA’s power play to bring the mine to its knees
    is a typical example of a state bureaucracy totally out
    of control. Unfortunately, the damage has already
    been done. It is a sad state of affairs in this country
    when elected officials condone the activities of a
    rogue pack of attorneys to rake over the lives of
    people and their property.

    For at least two years running, I’ve written occasional segments on the Forum Page delineating my concern for the private sector enduring undue harrassment toward the Original Sixteen to One Mine by the very government agencies created for the purpose of protecting the mine and miners themselves.

    Harrassment has been witnessed at length by those of us who have the strength of character to focus on the precise issue: appointed hacks at the National level and now the State level have been granted political power to wage social, economic and now criminal warfare upon the backbone of Freedom…upon free enterprise itself.

    In response to this most recent debacle in which a direct assault on propriety and safety concerns is now engaged, the President of the company, Michael Miller, delineates a basic truth: our freedoms (not only ours as individuals protected by the U.S. and State of California Constitutions, but in this latest case those of the management of the Original Sixteen to One Mine) are now blatantly subject to the unaccountable and the facist (yes, I said that) whims of corrupt “public” interests.

    If it were tea, it would be thrown in the Bay.

    If it were trees, they would be climbed and lived in.

    If it was an endangered species….

    If it happens to be a convenient target: take cover, because no entity is secure from political motivation (and now, the farce of the stinky sector of the legal profession.)

    If we are to believe there was no “Concern for the Miner” exhibited at the scene of Mark’s death, I implore anyone reading this to look in the mirror and suggest that your own parent or child or best friend’s death didn’t mean anything to you.

    Such arrogance stinks. He didn’t go down there just because he had no pride.

    Otherwise, we’d be politically motivated lawyers…not rugged individualists as we are.

    Government lawyers mine miners; miners mine pride.
