I'm Bertram17 at BlueSky.
I'm just a 86 year old plugger in Ravalli County.

@David__Erickson And here in Ravalli comes a new resident who is a thoroughly experienced business leader from out of state, running for County Commissioner, by starting to study groundwater before granting new wells and new subdivision. He’s an R running against Republican old boys network.

@KellyKortum Kelly,
What are our options?
Public demand return of State voter records?
With record OR affidavit of what Feds did with MT voter registration list!

TIME FOR GLOBAL DEMOCRACIES TO TRUMP tRUmp

Regional leaders call for fair new Venezuela Election.
UN send peace keepers now.
World leaders tell Trump militants & oil grabbers "Stay out of Venezuela."

Send election watchers to all corners of Venezuela.
Trump has turned insane!

[Bob Williams @BWilliamsMont]

tRUmp is making making the war worse in Ukraine
But NYT and GOP Congress is afraid to say that.

[Bob Williams @BWilliamsMont]

Gifted immunity by John Roberts,
Trump violates Congressional order to release all DOJ Epstein files.
If released,
Trump & his tarrifs would be gone.
Miller, Bondi, Patel, RFK Jr, Noem would be pulled down.
The Fed would be responsible to maximize employment and check inflation.

Venezuela nationalized US petroleum companies in 1976
and again around 2007.
US Companies from the latter nationalization have pressed legal means for partial compensation.
STARTING A US WAR w/ VENEZUELA WILL REDUCE THEIR ABILITY TO GAIN COMPENSATION.
DJT is insanely selfish!

Pres. Trump,

Re: Keeping Sheep Creek fast tracked.
Look, I'm the lead signer, telling USFS:
✅️Permit rare earth mining in Ravalli County--make the US less China dependent.
✅️Make the mining more transparent.
✅️Engage Ravalli to support mining REE!

Senator Steve Daines

[Bob Williams @BWilliamsMont]

The Bitterroot is 100% against mining by headwater of W. Fork of Bitterroot River.
Ravalli County Commissioners told Daines/Sheehy/Zinke/Downing to take Sheep Creek exploration off FAST Track permitting.
D/S/Z/D want authorities to "promptly rectify" Ravalli to support mining🥶

[Bob Williams @BWilliamsMont]

12/11 Breaking Letter re Sheep Creek:
“We hope that the lack of engagement will be rectified promptly and urge the Forest Service and the Permitting Council to ensure the project receives the needed transparency and ample local engagement.”
Signed Daines/Sheehy/Zinke/Downing

[Bob Williams @BWilliamsMont]

Sure looks like the Scott Osterman
Who spoke 12/1 as Executive Adviser to US Critical Materials Corp.
He faced the Ravalli County Commissioners and told lie after lie after vagueness.

Last week he resigned from MT Commerce Department because of submitting fraudulent expenses.

[Bob Williams @BWilliamsMont]

A SHEEP CREEK 8,000' elevation OPEN PIT, would permanently expose the Bitterroot Valley to highly toxic water.

And permanently expose the Bitterroot & Anaconda & upper Salmon valleys, also clean air of the Frank Church & Selway-Bitterroot Wildernesses, to very toxic air.
END

[Bob Williams @BWilliamsMont]

U.S. Critical Material Corp. might be able to receive mega million$ for selling off its mining claims to its 7 sq mile claim block at Sheep Creek.
Selling off to a mining company with the capacity to get every dollar possible from the largest AND HIGHEST % of gallium in the US!

[Bob Williams @BWilliamsMont]

WTf, the plan is mine ore/relocate it, B4 there a commercial continuous process to separate out gallium from Sheep Creek ore w/gallium also REE(17 Rare Earth Elements).
THEY GOT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE
The cart ore cart may have dangerous radionucleides & asbestos.
WHy DO THAT?

[Bob Williams @BWilliamsMont]

Then truck extracted ore N then South,
over Lost Trail Pass, then maybe railroad ore to a possible DOE or US Army site.
NOTE not REE but gallium is the element US DOE wants to process.
For years the US DOE Idaho National Laboratory has R&D to process batches of gallium rich ore.

[Bob Williams @BWilliamsMont]

12/1 Ravalli County Commissioners & > over 1,000 people, heard from a U.S. Critical Materials Corp(privately held exploration company) advisor, that their plan is to lay a mine shaft into 1 of the vertical dikes of extremely high gallium & REE, at Sheep Creek, near Idaho.

[Bob Williams @BWilliamsMont]

My take on Sheep Creek.
DO NOT MINE !
I find no plan for leach fields or water slurry.
I find plan to make big $.
Permit more ore analysis.
When new way to extract very high grade gallium, & REE, is under development,
The exploration company sells claim rights to mining company.

[Bob Williams @BWilliamsMont]

12/1 1:30 PM Ravalli County Commissioners public meeting at Fairgrounds re
Sheep Creek rare earth mining.
Discuss & ask Commissioners to ask removal of Sheep Creek from FAST-41 list of projects for fast track w nil public comment.
Caveat: Stated plan is to ship REE ore to Idaho!

[Bob Williams @BWilliamsMont]

Public Utility NWE is not responsible to suppy >50 MW to proposed data centers whose customer base is outside of Montana.
Anticipating be bought out by BHC, NWE wants 1/1/26 to take ownership of 590 more Coalstrip MW,
IN A FORM MT PSC CAN NOT REGULATE!

[Bob Williams @BWilliamsMont]

Change, the public meeting with the Ravalli County Commissioners,
IS NOW AT THE FAIRGROUNDS 12/1 at 1:30 PM.
= Easy parking & walking.
= New purpose, Ravalli County Commissioners produce
Letter of Opposition to proposed REE mining near Sheep Creek.

[Bob Williams @BWilliamsMont]

Re:Trump Fast Track (reduce public comment) gov approval for rare earth mining, eg. around Sheep Creek, up high, near the Idaho border.

GGG may not agree, but that may well be the
WORST PLACE IN THE US TO MINE RARE EARTH.

Downstream/downwind is the Bitterroot Valley & River.
