>> COMING UP NEXT ON "HEADLINE HUMBOLDT", WE SIT DOWN WITH NICOLE RIGGS AND RUTH DUSSEAULT ABOUT CANNABIS AND THE BACK TO THE LAND MOVEMENT HAS SHAPED THE HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THIS MOVEMENT.

KEET HAS LAUNCHED A YOUTUBE CHANNEL, NEON GALACTIC, DOING DEEP DIVES WITH EXPERTS ON THE UAP MYSTERY.

ONE OF OUR FIRST EPISODES FEATURES ROSS COLTHART, INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST.

ON "HEADLINE HUMBOLDT", COMING UP NOW.

FROM THE FROM THE TOP OF HUMBOLDT HILL, THIS IS "HEADLINE HUMBOLDT", I'M JAMES FAULK.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

IT WOULD BE A DIFFICULT TASK TO IMAGINE HOW HUMBOLDT COUNTY AND ITS NEIGHBORS WOULD HAVE DEVELOPED WITHOUT CANNABIS AS A MAJOR SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC INFLUENCE AS WELL AS DOWNWIND COMMUNITY IMPACTS FROM THOSE INVOLVED.

THE ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTIONS ARE ASTOUNDING AND HAVE PROVIDED A MAJOR FINANCIAL BOOST WHEN THE MORE TRADITIONAL SOURCES OF INCOME REIGN DUE TO DEPLETED RESOURCES AND BECOMING THE PRE-EMINENT BRAND NAME IN CANNABIS.

FOR MANY, WITHOUT WEED, HUMBOLDT COUNTY WOULD BE ANOTHER ANONYMOUS RURAL BACK WATER.

THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY AND ITS BROADER COUNTERCULTURE HAS INFLUENCED THE SOCIAL SCENE, MUSICAL SCENE, ARTS, POLITICS, EDUCATION, CRAFTSMANSHIP.

THERE IS AN EVENT SCHEDULED, "SPECTRUM OF DISSENT," FOR JULY 12th IN ARCADIA AS THE FLYER NOTES THE VAST INFLUENCE AMOUNTS TO WAY MORE THAN JUST HOMESTEADS AND TIE DYE.

WE'LL BE BACK AFTER THIS SHORT BREAK WITH NICOLE RIGGS AND RUTH DUSSEAULT.

>> THANKS, NICOLE, THANKS, RUTH, FOR JOINING US.

I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING TIME OUT OF YOUR BUSY SCHEDULES TO BE ON OUR SHOW.

LET'S START WITH YOU, NICOLE.

WHAT IS THE HUMBOLDT AREA PEOPLE'S ARCHIVE.

>> IT IS AN ARCHIVE OF HISTORICAL ORGANIZATION AND WHAT WE DO IS WE COLLECT AND PRESERVE DOCUMENTS, EVIDENCE OF THE RECENT HISTORY OF HUMBOLDT COUNTY.

AND WHEN I SAY RECENT, I MEAN FROM THE 60s TO NOW.

WE REALLY ARE TALKING ABOUT COUNTERCULTURE, BACK TO THE LAND, THE HOMESTEADERS AND SO THIS IS THE KIND OF HISTORY THAT HAS NOT REALLY BEEN SHOWN THAT HAS TENDED TO BE PERHAPS NEGLECTED OR IGNORED BY MORE TRADITIONAL INSTITUTIONS.

WE HAVE TAKEN IT UPON OURSELVES TO PRESERVE THAT HISTORY.

>> YOU POINTED OUT TO ME BEFORE WE STARTED, IT IS NOT JUST CANNABIS.

IT SURROUNDS CANNABIS IN A WAY, BUT IT IS MUCH BROADER THAN THAT, IT IS TALKING ABOUT ALL THE ELEMENTS THAT CAME WITH SORT OF THE PHILOSOPHICAL UNDERPINNINGS OF THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY, IN A WAY, IS THAT RIGHT?

>> VERY MUCH SO.

CANNABIS SURE PLAYS A PART.

IT PLAYS A PART IN EVERYTHING IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT CAME BACK TO THE LAND, FROM ANTI-NUCLEAR AND PEACE ACTIVIST BACKGROUND TRYING TO BUILD A DIFFERENT SOCIETY, MORE JUSTICE, MORE OF A CHANCE OF EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL.

WHAT IS INTERESTING IS THAT VERY ISSUE IS A BURNING ISSUE TODAY, 50 YEARS LATER.

WHAT THEY DID A LOT OF IS GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING, COMMUNITY EVENTS.

SOME WERE GROWING CANNABIS, WHICH ENABLED THEM TO SUSTAIN THEMSELVES.

CANNABIS HAS ITS OWN HISTORY.

OUR FOCUS IS ALL OF THE ELEMENTS OF THAT CULTURE, PARTICULARLY IN SOUTHERN HUMBOLDT.

PLENTIRY OF POCKETS OF COUNTERCULTURE IN NORTHEAST HUMBOLDT OR WILLOW CREEK AREAS AND OTHER PART OF THE EMERALD TRIANGLE.

>> SURE.

THE CANNABIS MAY HAVE PROVIDED THE FUNDING IN SOME WAYS AND THE ENGINE FOR SOME OF THE EXPERIMENTING THAT WENT ON SOCIALLY, BUT IT IS FASCINATING WHEN YOU VIEW HUMBOLDT COUNTY AS AN OUTSIDER, THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON HERE THAT AREN'T GOING ON ANYWHERE ELSE AND THIS IS PARTLY THE REASON FOR IT OR PARTLY THE MAJORITY OF THE REASON.

>> I WOULD AGREE.

I THINK THAT CANNABIS CAN OPEN PEOPLE'S MINDS.

AT THE SAME TIME, IT PROVIDED EXTRA INCOME, IT BROUGHT TOGETHER AN UNUSUAL NUMBER OF FACTORS TO ENABLE PEOPLE TO BE MORE CREATIVE AND HAVE THE TIME, SPACE TO ORGANIZE FROM THE GRASSROOTS.

>> YEAH.

>> THAT IS NOT THE ONLY THING.

MORE RECENTLY THERE IS MORE CANNABIS PRODUCTION IN THE EARLY 2000S, BUT NOT SEEING THE CULTURAL AND POLITICAL HAPPENINGS THAT WERE HAPPENING EARLY ON.

IT IS NOT THE ONLY FACTOR.

THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT THAT TIME, PERHAPS SOMETHING ABOUT THESE PARTICULAR INDIVIDUALS.

>> YEAH.

>> AGAIN, I THINK WE ARE COMING BACK TO A TIME WHERE THIS LEVEL OF ACTIVISM IS REALLY RISING.

>> RUTH, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

>> YES.

>> SO LET'S GET YOU INTO THE CONVERSATION.

I UNDERSTAND YOU ARE GOING BE PRESENTING AT THE EVENT COMING UP CAN YOU GIVE US A PREVIEW OF WHAT YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT AND YOUR THOUGHTS CONCERNING THIS EFFORT TO ARCHIVE THIS MATERIAL?

>> WELL, AS A JOURNALIST AND A FILMMAKER, I THINK I HAVE BEEN INVITED TO THIS EVENT TO EXPAND THE ARCHIVE THAT NICOLE IS TALKING ABOUT.

FROM 2012 TO 2018 I DOUMTDED POST RECESSION, CIRCLING BACK TO THE SAME LANDSCAPE AS A COMMUNALIST OF THE 1960s.

THEY HAD THE INTERNET.

>> YEAH.

NOW SO DID YOU ORIGINALLY, WAS IT COVID THAT SPURRED YOU IN THAT DIRECTION OR WERE YOU DOING THAT BEFORE COVID BEGAN?

>> NO, NO.

THIS WAS -- IT BEGAN IN 2012, WELL BEFORE COVID.

>> SURE.

>> AT THAT TIME PERIOD MY RESEARCH QUESTION WAS HOW HAS THE PRESENCE OF THE INTERNET CHANGED THE COUNTERCULTURAL IDEA OF SELF-SUSTAINING COMMUNITY.

GOOGLE EARTH WAS RELEASED IN 2005, iPHONE 2007, PERSONAL TECHNOLOGIES, WAYFINDING APPS, IT WAS STILL MAKING INITIAL IMPACT ON SOCIETY.

I WAS LOOKING FOR A CREATIVE AVENUE TO OBSERVE AND RECORD THOSE CHANGES.

>> THE QUESTION I WOULD LIKE TO POSE TO YOU IS IT SEEMS LIKE THEY WERE ALL MORE ISOLATED IN SILOS BECAUSE OF SOCIAL MEDIA.

SOME PEOPLE DON'T GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AS A RESULT.

BUT THE COMMUNAL SPIRIT IS SURVIVING?

>> WELL, THE FIRST HALF OF THE 21st CENTURY COMMUNALIST, SOLAR AND HOOK UP WITH INTERNET TRANSPONDER AND THEY CAN OPEN LAPTOPS AND DOWNLOAD ALL THE MATERIALS THEY NEED FOR SURVIVAL IN THE WILDERNESS.

>> IT IS INTERESTING.

>> IT WAS THE RECESSION.

>> YEAH.

>> AND THE PEOPLE THAT I DISCOVERED WERE NOT OLDER PEOPLE.

THEY WERE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO JUST GRADUATED INTO THIS ECONOMIC ABYSS.

THEY HAD NO JOBS, BUT THEY HAD THEIR TECHNOLOGY AND THE SOCIAL MEDIA DID ENABLE THEM TO FIND EACH OTHER IN RURAL LOCATIONS AND SET UP CAMP.

>> SO, NICOLE, WE WERE TALKING BEFORE THE SHOW AND THE MAJOR INSTITUTIONS IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY WE LOOK TO, NORTH COAST ENVIRONMENTAL CENTERS AND OTHERS, SO MANY OF THOSE AND SO MANY OF THE NAMES THAT WE ASSOCIATE WITH OUR POLITICAL, YOU KNOW, INSTITUTIONS, THEY ALL OR MOST OF THEM AROSE OUT OF THIS MOVEMENT.

IT WAS REALLY AN INTELLECTUAL RENAISSANCE.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

THAT IS A GREAT WORD.

IT IS VERY EVER VES SENT.

IT WAS A SMALL RURAL PLACE HUMBOLDT COUNTY, THE NORTH COAST ENVIRONMENTAL CENTER, THERE IS EPIC, SIMON RESTORATION COUNCIL, SALMON GROUP AND GOES ON TO FOREST INTERNATIONAL.

SO MANY INSTITUTIONS THAT DEVELOPED FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION.

THIS WAS BEFORE THERE WAS MUCH TALK ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE AND ALL OF THESE ISSUES WE NOW REALIZE ARE ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL.

THERE WAS ALREADY AN AWARENESS OF THAT HAPPENING AND PEOPLE KNEW HOW TO ORGANIZE, THERE WAS A DISCIPLINE FROM THAT TIME WE CAN LEARN HOW PEOPLE ORGANIZED AND DEVELOPED A RIGOROUS PROCESS OF GETTING STUFF DONE, IF I MAY SAY SO.

>> YEAH.

>> IT WAS ONE ASPECT OF THE ENVIRONMENT.

IT WAS A HUGE CREATIVE TIME.

>> ABSOLUTELY >> MANY THEATER ORGANIZATIONS, LOTS OF MUSIC FESTIVALS GOING ON AND, OF COURSE, A LOT OF ACTIVISM IN TERMS OF PRESERVING CIVIL RIGHTS, FOR EXAMPLE, PRESERVING CIVIL LIBERTIES.

THE CIVIL LIBERTIES MONITORING PROJECT WAS A HUGE ENDEAVOR OUT OF GAR BERVILLE THAT SHOWED SOME EGREGIOUS VIOLATIONS BY LAW ENFORCEMENT DURING THE CAMP YEARS.

WE HAVE ASPECTS OF THE CULTURE THAT DEVELOPED.

>> WHAT KIND OF MATERIAL IS IN THE ARCHIVES?

>> YEAH.

SO OUR ARCHIVE IS LIKE A TREASURE CHEST.

WE HAVE, OF COURSE, A LOT OF DOCUMENTS.

WE HAVE A LOT OF WRITTEN MATERIAL.

WE HAVE ALSO A LOT OF AUDIO.

WE HAVE MANY ORAL INTERVIEWS THAT HAVE BEEN RECORDED.

PEOPLE HAVE ENTRUSTED THESE MATERIALS TO US.

WE HAVE POSTERS.

WE HAVE ARTIFACTS, T-SHIRTS, A LOT OF EFEM RA AND MUSIC AS WELL.

SO IT COVERS THE WHOLE RANGE OF HISTORICAL EVIDENCE.

>> I MEAN, SO WHAT DO YOU THINK, SINCE YOU HAVE GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE ARCHIVE, WHAT DO YOU THINK IT SAYS ABOUT THE PEOPLE AT THAT TIME AND WHO WE'VE BECOME?

>> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I THINK IT WOULD BE HARD TO NARROW IT DOWN TO JUST A FEW WORDS BECAUSE ONE OF THE BEAUTIES OF THIS HISTORY IS THAT IT IS SO DIVERSE THAT THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON.

IT IS SO RICH AND COMPLEX.

CLEARLY THERE WAS AND STILL IS ACTUALLY IN HUMBOLDT, AN ABILITY TO BE CREATIVE AND TO WORK, CREATE, ACT OUTSIDE OF THE NORMS.

AND TO CHALLENGE THE STATUS QUO IN ALL KINDS OF WAYS, WHETHER IT WAS THROUGH PLAYWRIGHTING, LIKE JANE LAKINER AND DAVID SIMPSON ARE GREAT EXAMPLES OF THAT REMARKABLE OR GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING, BUILDING SCHOOLS, LOTS OF CHARTER SCHOOLS.

SO A SPIRIT OF DISSPENT, PRECISELY, ALONG WITH A GOOD SPRINKLING OF FUN.

>> RUTH, REAL QUICK, YOU ARE A JOURNALIST AND YOU COME FROM UC BERKELEY, OBVIOUSLY AND INSTITUTION WE ALL ADMIRE AND RESPECT.

CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT HOW SOMETHING LIKE THIS, THIS KIND OF ARCHIVE, HELPS A JOURNALIST OR HISTORIAN IN THEIR WORK TO TELL AN ACCURATE AND IMPORTANT STORY?

>> WELL, IT HELPED ME BECAUSE I WAS COMPARING THE COMMUNALISTS OF THE 21st CENTURY WITH THESE MID 20th CENTURY COMMUNALIST.

THE FIRST THING -- OH, LET ME START AGAIN.

IT HELPED A LOT BECAUSE I WAS COMPARING 21th CENTURY COMMUNALISTS WITH 20th CENTURY COMMUNALISTS.

ONE OF THE THINGS, FOR EXAMPLE, I FOUND, WAS INCREASED FOCUS ON DESIGN INNOVATION, WAS A CONTINUATION OF EXPERIMENTALISM.

THESE PEOPLE DID SOMETHING ON THEIR HOMESTEAD AND IMMEDIATELY SHARED IT ONLINE WITH OTHERS WHO MAKE THEIR OWN IMPROVEMENT.

THERE WAS A HIGHER TURNOVER FOR PROTOTYPING PROPELLED BY THE SHEER VOLUME OF SHARING.

THE BUSINESS EDUCATION MODELS, SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGNS, ADVERTISEMENTS FOR VISITORS TO COME.

THEY MADE EDUCATIONAL YOUTUBE CHANNELS, DESIGN WORKSHOPS AND RESIDENCIES.

>> GO AHEAD.

SORRY.

>> YEAH.

IN COMPARISON, I SORT OF FOUND THAT THE 60s DIY LEGACY THAT SHE HAS ARCHIVED HAD B.J.

TRANSFORMED GENERATIONALLY MAYBE FROM A PROTEST AGAINST SYSTEMS OF MASS PRODUCTION INTO A MASS SYSTEM OF INDIVIDUAL PRODUCTION.

WITH TECHNOLOGY.

>> YEAH.

THAT IS FASCINATING.

I WAS GOING POINT OUT IT SEEMS TO HAVE A SNOWBALLING EFFECT.

YOU HIT SOME INNOVATION, THE WAY THE CULTURE, THE COUNTERCULTURE WORKS, THE INTERNET, PROPELS MORE GROWTH, MORE INNOVATION WHICH I THINK WE SHOULD ALWAYS ENCOURAGE.

IF PEOPLE WANT TO DONATE MATERIALS TO THIS ARCHIVE, BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE LIVED THROUGH THIS IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY, WHAT CAN THEY DO AND HOW CAN THEY GO ABOUT IT?

>> THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION.

THANKS FOR ASKING THAT.

WE HAVE BEEN COLLECTING LOTS OF MATERIALS AND WE ARE GETTING PEOPLE DONATING MATERIALS ON AN INCREASING RATE.

PROBABLY BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE ARE COMING TO THE END OF THEIR LIVES.

>> YEAH.

>> AND THEY WANT TO BE SURE WHAT THEY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IN THEIR LIVES, THEIR EFFORTS, ARE BEING PRESERVED.

IF YOU GO TO OUR WEBSITE.

HOLIDAY -- HUMBOLDTAREAARCHIVES.ORG.

WE HAVE A ARCHIVIST WHO WAS AT HSU, NOW CAL POLY HUMBOLDT.

SHE GOES THROUGH A RIGOROUS PROCESS OF MEETING WITH THE DONOR OF THE MATERIALS, ASSESSING THE MATERIALS AND DETERMINING WHAT SHOULD GO INTO THE ARCHIVE AND HOW TO TRANSFER IT TO THE ARCHIVE.

>> WHERE IS IT BEING STORED AT THE MOMENT?

>> RIGHT.

ARCHIVES NEED TO BE STORED IN CLIMATE CONTROLLED STORAGE.

THAT IS WHERE WE HAVE IT.

A FACILITY THAT IS CLIMATE CONTROLLED, NO FIRE DANGER.

WE HAVE SHELVES AND SHELVES AND STACKS ALL THE WAY.

IN FACT, WE HAVE SO MUCH MATERIAL COMING IN WE ARE NOT FACED WITH AN URGENT NEED.

I WOULD ASK YOU TO CONSIDER THIS, WE NEED A LARGER FACILITY.

>> WE WERE TALKING, THIS MIGHT INVOLVE INTO A PUBLIC ACCESS SITUATION.

>> THAT WOULD BE IDEAL.

I'M SURE IT WILL HAPPEN.

THAT WOULD BE IDEAL.

ON THE ONE HAND WE NEED TO PRESERVE OUR MATERIALS FOR A SPACE WITH RESEARCHERS, ACADEMICS THAT WANT TO LOOK THROUGH THE MATERIALS AND SO THEY NEED TO HAVE A SPACE FOR THAT.

AND THEN WE ALSO WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A SPACE WHERE WE CAN SHOW OUR MATERIALS ON DISPLAY.

>> HOW CAN PEOPLE GIVE TO THAT EFFORT?

SAME WAY?

>> YES.

AGAIN, GOING TO OUR WEBSITE.

THERE IS A WAY TO CONTACT US.

THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

THERE IS A WAY TO CONTACT US ON FACEBOOK OR INSTAGRAM.

WE ARE VERY REACHABLE.

IF PEOPLE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSIDER WHERE A SPACE MIGHT BE AVAILABLE, A LARGER FACILITY FOR US, GARBERVILLE TO ARCADIA, PLEASE REACH OUT.

IF PEOPLE HAVE TERRIB MATERIALS ABSOLUTELY WANT TO PRESERVE THOSE MATERIALS.

>> LET'S REGO OVER -- LET'S LOOK AT THIS EVENT.

JULY 12th >> WEDNESDAY JULY 12, 6:00 P.M. >> WRANGLE TOWN CIDER.

>> RUTH, APPRECIATE YOU BEAMING IN THROUGH THE FUTURE WEBS.

>> THANK YOU.

>> AND I APPRECIATE IT.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD?

>> YES.

I WANT TO BRIEFLY SPEAK TO THE EVENT NEXT WEDNESDAY.

I THINK IT IS GOING BE A CAPTIVATING EVENT.

PANELISTS AND ACTIVISTS.

>> INCLUDING RUTH?

>> YES.

INCLUDING RUTH.

PEOPLE WHO LIVED THROUGH THAT AND MADE AN IMPACT.

IT IS FREE TO THE PUBLIC.

PLEASE COME AND JOIN AND IMMERSE YOURSELF INTO THE STORIES.

I THINK INTEGRATING THESE STORIES, THESE ACCOUNTS INTO OUR UNDERSTANDING OF HISTORY CAN REALLY HAVE FOSTER MORE DIVERSE PERSPECTIVE.

>> BASICALLY YOUR EVENT IS GOING MIRROR THE ARCHIVE.

A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE THERE FROM DIFFERENT ELEMENTS OF OUR SOCIETY AND CULTURE UP HERE AND I THINK IT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT EVENING.

>> THANK YOU.

>> NO PROBLEM.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK AFTER THIS SHORT BREAK.

>> AFTER AN EXTENSIVE MANHUNT, AUTHORITIES HAVE ARRESTED JASEN DWAYNE COLEY WITH THE CONNECTION OF THE SHOOTING DEATH IN McKINLEYVILLE.

KEY CONTRIBUTOR RYAN HUT SENN HAS THE STORY.

>> MONDAY NIGHT A SHOOTING OCCURRED IN McKINLEYVILLE, CLAIMING THE LIFE OF A 25-YEAR-OLD MAN, KENNETH MICHAEL DAVIS, AGE 25 OF McKINLEYVILLE.

THE SHOOTER, JASEN COLEY, OF McKINLEYVILLE, FLED THE SCENE AND WAS APPREHENDED WEDNESDAY NIGHT, BUT HAD BEEN ON THE RUN FOR 48 HOURS BEFORE BEING SPOTTED BY A COMMUNITY MEMBER IN THE TRINIDAD AREA WHO REPORTED THE SIGHTING IMMEDIATELY LEADING TO THE ARREST AT THE ARREST OF THE AT-LARGE MURDER SUSPECT.

COLEY HAD FLED THE CRIME SCENE AT THE HOME ON SILVER BRICK COURT WITH A BLACK PUMP SHOTGUN USED IN THE HOMICIDE.

>> 1720 HOURS RESPONDING TO 2000 BLACK AND THE SUSPECT FLED IN A BACK HYUNDAI ARMED WITH A BLACK SHOTGUN.

A WARRANT IS BEING ISSUED FOR THE SUSPECT.

APPROACH WITH CAUTION.

>> FOR 48 HOURS, RESIDENTS IN NORTHERN HUMBOLDT, PARTICULARLY McKINLEYVILLE AND TRINIDAD AREAS WERE ON HIGH ALERT OVER THE 4th OF JULY HOLIDAY WHEN LOCAL POLICE ASKED THE PUBLIC TO LOCK THEIR DOORS AND TAKE EXTRA PRECAUTIONS WHILE BEING AWARE OF THEIR SURROUNDINGS, IN CASE A SUSPICIOUS FITTING THE DESCRIPTION OF THE SUSPECT COULD BE SEEN.

SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT DEPUTIES WERE DIRECTED TO THE AREA OF COLLEGE COVE IN TRINIDAD ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT AFTER RECEIVING A REPORT FROM A COMMUNITY MEMBER WHO CAME ACROSS A MAN LYING IN SOME BUSHES WITH A SHOTGUN.

THIS PERSON IMMEDIATELY LEFT THE AREA TO CALL POLICE.

HUMBOLDT COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE DEPUTIES AND CALIFORNIA STATE PARK RANGERS RESPONDED TO THE LOCATION AND ULTIMATELY ARRESTED THE SUBJECT, JASEN COLEY, WITHOUT INCIDENT.

COLEY WAS ARRESTED FOR THE CRIME OF MURDER AND IS BEING HELD WITHOUT BAIL, ACCORDING TO A SHERIFF'S PRESS RELEASE.

THE SHOTGUN RECOVERED DURING THE ARREST IS THOUGHT TO BE THE SAME SHOTGUN USED IN THE CRIME.

NO ADDITIONAL SUSPECTS ARE AT LARGE, ACCORDING TO THE HUMBOLDT COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND WE HAVE YET TO LEARN ABOUT A MOTIVE IN REGARD TO THE TRAGIC SHOOTING DEATH OF KENNETH MICHAEL DAVIS AGE 25 OF McKINLEYVILLE.

FOR "HEADLINE HUMBOLDT", THIS IS RYAN HUTSON.

>> KEET'S NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL, NEON GALACTIC, KICKED OFF ITS RECENT LAUNCH BY VER VIEWING ROSS COLTHART, YOU CAN VIEW THE ENTIRE HOUR LONG INTERVIEW AT YOUTUBE.COM/@NEON GALACTIC.

HE CLAIMS TO HAVEN UNCOVERED INFORMATION TO A HIDDEN SPECIAL ACCESS PROGRAM TO ENGINEER NON-HUMAN CRAFT IN ITS POSSESSION.

HE HAS GONE TO CONGRESS AND THE INSPECTOR'S GENERAL WITH HIS CLAIMS THAT ARE CREDIBLE.

HIS ALLEGATIONS LED TO SEVERAL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS CALLING FOR CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS.

HERE IS AN EXCERPT FROM THAT INTERVIEW.

>> THE AMERICAN MEDIA, I MYSELF AS AN AUSTRALIAN MEDIA REPRESENTATIVE WAS LED BY THE NOSE P BY THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY IN 2002, 2003, AND WE WERE TOLD DEFINITIVELY THAT THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SOURCES THAT IRAQ WAS DEVELOPING WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.

IT WAS IMPERATIVE WE HAD TO RID THE WORLD OF THE NUCLEAR OR BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS THAT SADDAM HUSSEIN WAS DEVELOPING IN SECRET.

THIS WAS BASED ON ALLEGED SOURCE THAT THEY ASSURED JOURNALIST THEY SHOULD BELIEVE.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT?

IT WAS A COMPLETE LIE.

THEIR SOURCE WAS A DUD.

HERE YOU HAVE A SITUATION, ALMOST THE EXACT OPPOSITE WHERE A MAN FROM WITHIN THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY THE GOING ON THE RECORD DEFINITIVELY ASSERTING THAT HE HAS DISCOVERED THINGS THAT ARE BEING IMPROPERLY, IF NOT CRIMINALLY WITHHELD FROM THE PROPER OVERSIGHT OF YOUR CONGRESS.

AND THE INCREDIBLE THING IS THE SAME MEDIA THAT WAS SO SLAVISHLY WILLING TO BELIEVE THE ASSURANCES OF INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS ABOUT ANONYMOUS SOURCES THAT LED US INTO A $2 TRILLION WAR AND ARE RELUCTANT TO ENGAGE WITH AN INTELLIGENCE OFFICIAL WHO HAS THE COURAGE TO COME FORWARD AND STATE WHAT HE BELIEVES IS THE TRUTH.

AT THE VERY LEAST HE DESERVES A HEARING.

AND AS MUCH AS THE SQUEALING LITTLE DEBUNKERS AND RABID PROPHECY -- PROPAGANDAIST, THEY WILL PUT THE INFORMATION IN THE PUBLIC LIGHT TO SEE WHO IS RIGHT.

>> PART OF A PARTNERSHIP GRANT WITH WETA.

WE ARE HIGHLIGHTS THE REDWOODS.

THIS WEEK WE SPEAK WITH PATRICK TAYLOR, INTERPRETATION MANAGER FOR REDWOOD NATIONAL STATE PARKS.

CATCH THE NEXT EPISODE OF ICONIC 'MERICA ON TUESDAY JULY 11 AT 10 P.M. >> MANY PEOPLE WHEN THEY COME HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME, THERE IS THE SENSE THEY ARE WALKING INTO A LAND THAT HAS BEEN PRESERVED AND UNTOUCHED FOR GENERATIONS.

THE TRUTH IS THIS LAND HAS BEEN MANAGED BY THE YUROK AND OTHER TRIBES THAT LIVED ON THE COAST.

AS THE WESTERN MIGRATION CAME TO THE AREA THEY BEGAN INTENSIVE LOGGING IN THIS AREA AND THERE ARE LARGE SWATHS OF COMPLETE CLEAR CUT, DENUDED OF ALL THE TREES.

EVERYTHING USED TO LOOK LIKE WHAT YOU SEE BEHIND ME.

TWO THIRDS WAS LOST.

A LOT WAS REPLANTED WITH AERIAL SEEDING.

WHEN THE TREES CAME IN THEY WERE THE SAME AGE, SAME HEIGHT AND GREW IN HEAVY PATTERNS WE OFTEN REFER TO AS DOG HAIR, BECAUSE IT IS SO THICK HUMANS CAN'T WALK AND NAVIGATE THROUGH IT LET ALONE THE ELK AND BEARS AND BIGGER WILD LIFE IN THE AREA.

IN RECOGNITION, SEVERAL ORGANIZATIONS LAUNCHED REDWOOD RISING, AN EFFORT TO GO IN OVERGROWN AREAS AND THIN IT OUT, REMOVE TREES TO OPEN UP AND ALLOW NATURE BEGIN THE PROCESS OF RESTORING ITSELF.

LE REDWOOD NATIONAL STATE PARKS IS AN AMAZING PROCESS ACROSS AGENCIES AND COMMUNITIES.

EVERYONE WHO COMES HERE FALLS IN LOVE WITH THE TREES.

PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE THEY HAVE THEIR FAVORITE TREES.

YOU MAKE CONNECTIONS AND FOOL AFFINITY TO PROTECT IT FOR YOURSELF AND FUTURE GENERATIONS.

THAT IS WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT, THAT WE ENJOY IT TODAY, PEOPLE FROM A GENERATION FROM NOW, 20 GENERATIONS FROM NOW CAN ENJOY IT SO IT CAN BE AN ICON NOW AND INTO THE FUTURE.

>> SO YOU CAN CATCH THE NEXT EPISODE OF ICON AMERICA, OUR SYMBOLS AND STORIES ON TUESDAY JULY 11th AT 10 P.M. AS LONG AS WE ARE SPEAKING ABOUT NEXT WEEK, JULY 12th, "SPECTRUM OF DISSENT," THE EVENT WE COVERED IN OUR INTERVIEW.

JULY 12th AND 6:30 PEOPLE AT WRANGLE TOWN CIDER TO HELP AND ESTABLISH AND FUND THE PEOPLE'S ARCHIVE.

THAT'S IT FOR THIS WEEK.

STAY TUNED.

STAY INFORMED.
