To Our public servants in DOER, and in the Baker
administration, This is your notice that you are
heretofore advised. Your continued attempts to undermine the clearly stated
direction and guidance of the Inhabitants of Massachusetts is Unconstitutional,
and malfeasant. Your actions constitute a direct and intentional violation of
your sworn oath of office as public servants of the People of Massachusetts, as
per articles 4 and 5 of Part the First, a Declaration of Rights, of the
Constitution of the Copmmonwealth of Massachusetts.
You are further in direct malfeasance of the Global Warming Solutions Act. You
are denying, and distorting all current forest health science, while
promulgating falsified, distorted science data, solely for the purpose of
allowing private industry to expropriate and embezzle the assets of the
Inhabitants of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The entirety proposal is corrupt, and has been duly noted as such by the People.
The alarming proposed changes to RPS Class I, especially
the changes that reduce or eliminate the core requirements of the 2012 RPS
bioenergy rules, place us on a compelled course of human extinction, covertly
engineered by private commercial interests. This is a direct betrayal of your
one and only lawful mandate, which is to serve the Greater Good of the People
of this Commonwealth. Furthermore, this attempt to cast aside science-based
rules which the Massachusetts People agreed to in a prior contract with you,
violates that contract, and attempts to replace it with a forced solution to
which WE Do Not Consent. This therefore is not a valid contract, as it
knowingly seeks to abort the Consent of the Living Men and Women of this
Commonwealth.
in particular the DOER plans reductions in facility
efficiency criteria, increases in the allowed variety of wood, including whole
trees, increasing from 20 years to 30 years the timeframe for plants to show a
net reduction in GHG emissions relative to fossil fuels, calculations of
lifecycle CO2 emissions that ignore fossil fuels used in harvesting, processing
and transport, elimination of requirements for liquid fuels to show a real
reduction in GHG’s, and the removal of Massachusetts-specific forest harvesting
criteria.
The Baker administration is aware that the climate crisis
is real, is urgent, and that the time window for dramatic action is just a few
years. These proposals are entirely contrary to the public good, contrary to my
health and especially the health of children and older adults. This therefore
is a knowingly, and willfully malfeasant violation of this Governor's SWORN
oath of office.
Clean energy does not come out of a smokestack. Burning
wood is a highly emitting source of energy, more polluting than coal, and the
there is no longer time to grow new forests to recapture the emissions, and
moreover living forests each year sequester 30% of the
9 gigatons of CO2 that humans emit annually. Half of all
the carbon sequestered in all the forests in the world is in the 1% of largest
diameter trees in every forest.
You are attempting to justify this corrupt ecocidal course of action by distorted science statements
that have been clearly proven false, and are
dishonest. We have not yet recovered from the deforestation of all of
Massachusetts in 1850. We realized then the error of that disastrous mistake
and swore never to do anything so stupid again, and yet here you are trying to
commit the same disastrous crime all over gain. The
1953 USDA study, "Soil and Civilization" clearly documents that
deforestation causes desertification, and that every place there has been a
major civilization, there is now a desert. This plan engineered by private interests,
is on track to turn our entire planet into a desert. And for WHAT!?!? So you guys can all keep your golden parachutes and
retirement funds, while your children and grandchildren are subjected to forced
extinction by your corrupt hands.
Furthermore, health impacts are an immediate consequence
of wood burning. Again you are proposing
action that intentionally contravenes your oath to act for the Greater Common
Good of This Commonwealth and Its Inhabitants, who will be subjected to
increased health care costs and reductions in quality of life due to illness
caused by particulate matter pollution, WHICH, by the way, is a violation of
the Clean Air Act.
You are hereby ordered to withdraw the proposed
eligibility changes to RPS Class I and Class II, to which We Do Not Now, nor
have We EVER consented. You are hereby Notified that your restored correct
adherence to our Constitutional Frame of Government, and your accountability SOLELY to the
Inhabitants of Massachusetts is a mandatory and lawfully REQUIRED obligation.
Your continued knowing wilful obstruction of our
Constitutional framework, and in particular, Article 7
of our Declaration of Rights is a criminal act. This is your Notice to cease
and desist all further corrupt activities.
Sincerely,
Lisa Hoag
Inhabitant of Massachusetts
