Flooding the Border: Development, Politics, and Environmental Controversy in the Canadian-U.S
FLOODING THE BORDER: DEVELOPMENT, POLITICS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROVERSY IN THE CANADIAN-U.S. SKAGIT VALLEY by Philip Van Huizen A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June 2013 © Philip Van Huizen, 2013 Abstract This dissertation is a case study of the 1926 to 1984 High Ross Dam Controversy, one of the longest cross-border disputes between Canada and the United States. The controversy can be divided into two parts. The first, which lasted until the early 1960s, revolved around Seattle’s attempts to build the High Ross Dam and flood nearly twenty kilometres into British Columbia’s Skagit River Valley. British Columbia favoured Seattle’s plan but competing priorities repeatedly delayed the province’s agreement. The city was forced to build a lower, 540-foot version of the Ross Dam instead, to the immense frustration of Seattle officials. British Columbia eventually agreed to let Seattle raise the Ross Dam by 122.5 feet in 1967. Following the agreement, however, activists from Vancouver and Seattle, joined later by the Upper Skagit, Sauk-Suiattle, and Swinomish Tribal Communities in Washington, organized a massive environmental protest against the plan, causing a second phase of controversy that lasted into the 1980s. Canadian and U.S. diplomats and politicians finally resolved the dispute with the 1984 Skagit River Treaty. British Columbia agreed to sell Seattle power produced in other areas of the province, which, ironically, required raising a different dam on the Pend d’Oreille River in exchange for not raising the Ross Dam. -

Frank Zelko Research Fellow, GHI
“MAKE IT A GREEN PEACE”: THE HISTORY OF AN INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATION Frank Zelko Research Fellow, GHI In the early 1970s, the United States Congress’s House Subcommittee on Fisheries and Wildlife Conservation held a series of hearings on the sub- ject of marine mammal protection. Among those who testified were rep- resentatives of America’s oldest and most established wilderness protec- tion groups, such as the Sierra Club, the Audubon Society, and the National Wildlife Federation. Although it was important to ensure that the world’s populations of whales and seals remained as healthy as pos- sible, these organizations argued, they did not support a policy of abso- lute protection. As long as the survival of the species was ensured, they believed, it was legitimate to use its “surplus” members for the benefit of people. In his testimony before the subcommittee, Thomas Kimball of the National Wildlife Federation employed phrases such as “renewable re- sources,” “stewardship,” and “professional wildlife management.” The “harvesting of surplus wildlife populations,” his organization felt, wasan “important management tool if the continuing long-range well-being of an animal population is the ultimate objective.”1 A few years later, a group of environmental protesters off the coast of California came across a fleet of Soviet whaling boats. Using motorized inflatable dinghies, the activists positioned themselves between a whal- er’s harpoon and a fleeing pod of sperm whales, acting as human shields to protect the defenseless giants. Whaling, these activists insisted, was not merely an issue of wildlife preservation or resource stewardship. Rather, it was an unconscionable act of violence perpetrated against a species whose intelligence and sensitivity put them in the same biological cat- egory as human beings. -
Letter to Senator Leahy
FOUNDATION EARTH Rethinking society from the ground up! January 27, 2014 The Hon. Patrick Leahy, Chairman Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Foreign Operations Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Re: Your Leadership on World Bank Reforms Dear Mr. Chairman: We are writing to express our enormous appreciation for your successful efforts to include in the Foreign Operations Appropriations extraordinarily important language about the need for oversight of the World Bank’s activities, especially in regard to its attempt to return to mega-hydro dam construction, as well as the activities of other international financial institutions in this regard. On behalf of the more than 80 signers of our May 24, 2013 letter to you, we thank you and recognize the leadership that you showed, not just on the World Bank but also on the other international financial institutions. The provisions on safeguarding intact tropical rainforests from industrial logging and extraction have been urgently needed as have the directives on human rights protections and forced relocations. We will work to see that the Obama Administration vigorously implements these provisions. Sincerely, Randy Hayes, Executive Director Brent Blackwelder, President Emeritus Foundation Earth Friends of the Earth Note: Attached is the extensive list of signers of the May 24, 2013 letter calling for World Bank President Kim to not finance giant rainforest & river destroying dams.

Das Thema für meine Diplomarbeit bedurfte keiner langen Suche, war früh gefunden und ist in folgender Mo- tivation begründet, die aus drei Richtungen stammt: Public Relations (PR) sind das Vertiefungsgebiet meiner Hauptrichtung Publizistik- und Kom- munikationswissenschaft. Um Erlerntes auch in der Praxis umzusetzen, war ich im zweiten Abschnitt meines Studiums auf der Suche nach einer „Spielwiese“, die ich in der Non Profit Organisation (NPO) „Stiftung Kin- dertraum“ gefunden habe. Eckpfeiler drei stammt aus einem Teil meiner Fächerkombination mit Skandinavistik, woraus ich Schwedisch gewählt habe. Während meiner Studienzeit habe ich insgesamt eineinhalb Jahre mit viel Freude und Begeisterung im Land, das als Synonym für IKEA, ABBA und Wohlfahrtsstaat gilt - Schweden - studiert. Besonders in einer neuen Umgebung sind Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten in vielerlei Angelegenheiten augenscheinlich. -
War Criminals at Large
War Criminals at Large By Dr. Daniele Ganser Region: Middle East & North Africa Global Research, January 09, 2019 Theme: History, Media Disinformation, US NATO War Agenda It is a common misconception that democracies do not start wars of aggression or carry out terrorist attacks. The historical facts for the period from 1945 to today show a completely different reality: time and again, democratic states in Europe and North America have participated in wars of aggression and terrorist attacks in the past 70 years. There are so many cases that I am not able to list all of them here. As examples, I have selected three events from different decades: the illegal attack by the European democracies Britain and France on Egypt in 1956; the terrorist attack by the democracy France onRainbow Warrior, a ship operated by the environmental organization Greenpeace in 1985; and the illegal attack by US President Donald Trump on Syria on April 7, 2017. Because mass media, neither in the European nor the American democracies, openly address and criticize these crimes and because so far the responsible politicians have not been convicted by a court, a stubborn misconception persists in the populations of these aggressor states that democracies never start wars and also never use terror as a political instrument. But the three examples mentioned show clearly: Democracies, members of the NATO military alliance and with a veto power in the UN Security Council to protect themselves from condemnation, have repeatedly attacked other countries. This is illegal. For the UN Charter of 1945, Article 2 (4), clearly states: All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force..[..] The Charter only allows the use of force if an attacked state defends itself or if the United Nations Security Council has approved the military strike. -

Ecotage uses direct action, or monkey wrenching, to prevent environmental destruction. Mainstream conservation efforts were viewed by many environmentalists as having failed from compromise inspiring the birth of radicalized groups. This eventually transformed conservationists into radicals. Green Peace inspired radical environmentalism by civil disobedience, media campaigns and direct action tactics, but remained mainstream. Earth First’s! philosophy is based on a no compromise approach. -
