It’s called pay for play!

Let’s go back to 2006, Jeffrey has done a lot of projects here in Alaska, what made it all work, past administrations and all the department heads working in the same direction.  There was a time in Alaska where the Governor’s office was open, commissioners offices were open and freely made referrals, you were sent to managers and specialists that worked for the State and specialized in departments that were there to help you out, and it was AMAZING! 

The employees and managers were happy to guide and explain processes, they followed regulatory frameworks and made sure that your innovation could deliver economic prosperity, no amount of help was held back.  

The eagerness to help began to deteriorate in 2012 and was completely gone by 2014, where special interest projects now take all the time by commissioners, managers, section chiefs and if you didn’t pay or make serious political contributions to people running for office, all the above doors are closed to you. 

If you had an ongoing project or innovation that benefited Alaskans, there was a new standard established that said, does this project have a conflict with political agendas of those being elected that have received money for their campaigns from special interests. 

So, if you didn’t pay money, you are not a special interest, and if the special interest find you to be threat in any field,  they are happy to tell the same regulators, to get rid if you and quickly. 

This is achieved by massacring staff that know what they are doing and regulatory frame works they support while completely abandoning statutory obligations. In its politest terms, the best answers you are going to get by any regulator “subject to deliberative process privilege, we are not going to discuss any information regarding this mining effort. 

If a party is conducting due diligence, the State typically says, “subject to deliberate process privileges we are not going to share any information with you.”

FOIA requests are useless, including the examination of your own files and documents.  The documents you will get are so redacted, they are useless.   This is an effective strategy when you have your own due diligence processes conducted by third parties, or a review of your own files for confirmation purposes. 

The long story made short, is that if you are not a political priority and you can negatively impact millions of political contributions, you do not have a project, you are a problem, you will be banned from the building for merely asking for some simple documents.

The following lets’ you know where we are at right now, what we are overcoming, and how we are going to get there.

2014 – All of our legal mining claims were deemed legally set after staff changed all of the mining lines in the mapping system.  We then received notices that said, subject to the mapping systems, you legally set these claims and they are now revoked.  No mining staff bothered to go inspect the actual mining posts, they simply relied on the deeply flawed mapping system, that the staff intentionally modified information and mysteriously removed the commissioners authorization, where is non cardinal lines.   They moves 926 mining claims lines to say we illegally claimed.  Mysteriously lost the commissioners authorizations for the original lines and refuse to produce both the authorization emails and original digital imaging from the 5 previous years before which authorize all of these claims.  While the conversation was ongoing, naturally we reset three of the 329 claims that were most important.   One of the those claims are most important mining claims and mill sites  underwrites a great deal of our certified economic geology supporting the

As a result, although we heave the mining claims we are denied access to our own mining claims for political purposes. As a result regardless of the facts our processes do not require permitting, which was the States decision, the State and the city of Anchorage has continued to deny us access stating regulatory frameworks that do not exist having a third party state corporation lock the gate while completely abandoning the patented land and the mining claims we own from the save and accepted clauses which are part of the land patent that specifically states, the state of Alaska or the city of anchorage could not deny us access without loosing the property themselves. 

2018 – The state of Alaska used it’s department of transportations under the guise with an expansion of the highway which in no way impacted our ability to mine and the land patent clearly stated we had full use of right aways, easements, and any other incumberences related to a road way.  Preserved in the patent, however the state removes our mining equipment from what they claim its right of way, for which the patent clearly states our mining project is not in the work area and cannot be touched.  

Regardless, the morning they removed our mining equipment and technology to an unknown location, Jeffrey its innovator is asked to attend a meeting at the local state offices while they were removing it. Well… needless to say, there was no meeting at the State building that was scheduled, that is why Jeffrey was told, to tie up his time while the State removed their equipment 43 miles away.   And, this is the polite version of how the State of Alaska conducts business, a distraction, a baite and switch, a complete abandonment of it’s regulatory frameworks, statutory obligations and constitutional obligations for the sole purpose of making a problem go away.  

Needless to say its an impossible task to expect the State or the City Anchorage to self correct on its own.  Both the State and the City’s response has consistently been, “SUE US”.  And the economic losses from the loss of production along from its original capital investment is the very reason why we are here, why were are releasing this information, rebuilding our equipment, stating the facts, forcing the State and the City of Anchorage to restore our access and get out the way of the very innovation which if used statewide would have tremendous economic benefit for all it’s user groups.
