I heard from Laura Regan, but, can not divulge what she said. Lawyers understand words can hurt you, and thus – protect yourself at all times!
Regan expresses herself in a article here and there, but, her inner self was unleashed when Lauren unlocked Alley Valkyrie’s cage – and set The Mouth That Roared upon the citizenry of Eugene who elected a Mayor and a City Council to be – OUR VOICE! Laura and Alley made short work of our voice, and rendered Eugene – VOICELESS – until Alley fucked with me! I am now in a unique position to be a Radical Watchdog of Radical Watchdogs. Alley ignored my War with Noble Oil and its executive, Lawrence Chazen, who has not yet been confronted by Lauren Regan and her legal team. However, Greenpeace is hot on Noble’s trail, along with others. Read Regan’s glowing report, then, scroll down to see how Team Noble is doing. I will keep score in the coming years – if I live so long!
What needs to be addressed if it is a good idea attorneys take charge of traditional radical ways of doing things. Has THE LAW ever played a important part in the Bohemian Cosmology that has developed intricate rules and rituals in order to elect our leaders. Did Regan and Alley cut in line, and cut out the Real Deal?

Recently Regan represented homeless activist Alley Valkyrie, who was arrested for trespass at the Lane County Free Speech Plaza. A municipal judge ruled the county had violated Valkyrie’s 1st amendment rights. Regan is currently travelling the country working on tar sands litigation.
The CLDC is funded by community donations and some foundations. Regan says when the firm wins a federal case, its awarded attorney’s fees. This allows her to defend activists for free. University of Oregon Law Professor Mary Wood says Regan has carved out an important place in environmental law– especially when the laws themselves aren’t always enough to prevent what acitivsts see as destruction of precious resources.
The northwest is famous for political activism– WTO protests, tree-sits, Occupy… When activists get arrested, there’s a law firm in Eugene that might represent them for no little or no money. Lauren Regan’s Civil Liberties Defense Center celebrates its tenth year at the Public Interest Environmental Law Conference this weekend.
Lauren Regan’s first experience on an environmental activist case was when she was in law school at the University of Oregon in the late 1990s.
She was clerking at the Western Environmental Law Center and worked on the Warner Creek litigation. Protestors blocked the logging road to the timber sale for nearly a year. At the same time lawyers were suing to prevent the sale on federal forest land that had been burned by arson.
Regan: “I had been one of the youngsters running up to Warner Creek on the weekends and helping the protest and bringing food and things like that. So, on the weekends I would go and hang out with the environmental activists and during the week, I’d be in the law office working on the lawsuit.”
Regan says she knew she wanted to be an animal rights lawyer at age 10 growing up in upstate New York. She later developed interest in environmental and human rights issues. The Warner Creek case was the first time she was able to mesh activism and law.
Regan: “And to kind of come to the understanding very early in my law career, that I didn’t have to separate myself from my activist background and that being tied to the movements that I wanted to support as a lawyer, was actually a strength and not a weakness.”
The Warner Creek suit was successful. The area was not logged and is now a research site to study post-fire forest health.
Regan went on to found her own firm 10 years ago. The Civil Liberties Defense Center has represented hundreds of activists in some of the northwest’s most famous cases… including defending members of the Earth Liberation Front from charges of “eco-terrorism”.
Regan: “And so I literally became one of the sole resources to a lot of different communities that really needed help. I just couldn’t say no. and so, over time, the CLDC’s work has really expanded. We jokingly say, anything left of center, for the most part, we will defend.”

Wood: “Unless citizens are able to assert their rights in very visible ways, we will get nowhere and our future will be more and more threatened. And so her role is absolutely critical because she provides the defense of people who have put themselves on the line peaceably.”
Regan often works 70-plus hour weeks and sometimes forgoes paychecks. A far cry from what some people might hope for in a lucrative law career. She says despite the hard work, she keeps her eye on her ideals.
Regan: “I always knew why I was going to law school and what I wanted to do with that law degree and my brain. And I have chosen to live simply, keep my expenses really low, so that money never became a motivating factor in the type of work that I had to do.”
Regan has chosen not to have children for environmental and ethical reasons. She says that also reduces her living expenses. Regan’s Civil Liberties Defense Center celebrates 10 years this weekend at the Public Interest Environmental Law Conference. Regan will deliver a keynote address Friday at noon.

The fight for S.L.E.E.P.S. has hit the streets of Eugene, Oregon. In this case S.L.E.E.P.S. stands for safe legally entitiled emergency places to sleep. The struggle is still in its early stages and already Lane County Administrator Liane Richardson has lost her job, and nationally recognized civil rights lawyer, Lauren Regan has notched another victory […]

Fear-mongering has been the favored tactic of Colorado’s environmental activists in their zeal to defend local fracking bans. They whipped up public anxiety with claims that fracking would poison our drinking water, pollute our air, and turn our communities into toxic wastelands.
Too bad for them that the Colorado Supreme Court didn’t buckle under their pressure – and instead stuck to science and the law. Last month, the state’s highest court issued a unanimous decision to overturn local anti-fracking measures.
The Polar Pioneer, which is being transported on a 712 feet-long vessel called Blue Marlin, is one of two drilling vessels heading towards the Arctic for Shell this year, says Greenpeace. The other drill ship is the Noble Discoverer, which turned out to be not so noble because “In December 2014, Noble Drilling, one of Shell’s biggest Arctic sub-contractors and owner of the Noble Discoverer,pleaded guilty to committing eight felonies in connection with Shell’s failed attempts to drill in the Arctic Ocean in 2012,” according to Greenpeace.

According to the news release, sent from the email account of Hunters Glen resident and activist group member Maria Orms, members of the group began to learn of Kulmann’s employment in the oil and gas industry during a Thornton City Council meeting last October, when citizens requested the city pass a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas in Thornton.
Activists say Kulmann’s involvement with Noble Energy is a conflict, asNoble Energy has connections with the Colorado Oil and Gas Association, which is suing Fort Collins, Broomfield and Longmont for their initiatives restricting fracking and other oil and gas activity.
And there were at least five more exceptionally attractive humans where he came from: three women and three men in all. From the looks of it on Twitter, they all appeared to have nice cheekbones and enjoy stuff like ice climbing, woodworking, rugby, and snowboarding.
Early on in the trip, the Esperanza spotted the Noble Discoverer, a drill ship in Shell’s Arctic fleet. Soon after, they found the Polar Pioneer, a rig being carried by a heavy lift vessel, the Blue Marlin. When I spoke to Kenyon, the Esperanza was trailing the Blue Marlin, and the Noble Discoverer had fallen behind.

EIA believes Noble also violates HSBC’s Forestry policy, which pledges not to knowingly provide financial services to “prohibited business”, defined as those involving “forests being converted to plantation or to non-forest use (deforestation)”.
Senior EIA Forest Campaigner Jago Wadley said: “Noble displays structural non-compliance with HSBC’s policies in ways that the policies themselves stipulate must result in the closure of relationships as soon as possible.”
While Noble’s Papua concessions are bound by RSPO rules, concerns that RSPO standards are not being met have already scared off major investors.
Also in 2013, the Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global divested its $49 million stake in Noble Group due to the risk of severe environmental damage, arguing RSPO-sanctioned plans were uninformative and added no environmental protection not already afforded by standard Indonesian laws.
. Noble Group is Asia’s biggest commodities trader. In recent years, Noble moved from an “asset-light” towards an “asset medium” model and purchased a slew of commodity origination projects, including palm oil plantations in Papua. Commodity price drops and other cash-flow factors persuaded Noble to return to an asset-light model that involved the sale of its agribusiness segment and other assets.

HOUSTON Sep 21, 2007 (Dow Jones Newswires)
The unexpected resignation of Noble Corp.’s (NE) chief executive Thursday night has sent the company’s shares soaring and jump-started speculation that the offshore driller is considering a merger with a rival.
CEO Mark Jackson’s departure was announced in a short statement by the company, offering no details as to why he was leaving after less than a year on the job. Lawrence Chazen, a Noble board member, told Dow Jones Newswires the CEO was resigning for “personal reasons” unrelated to a potential takeover, adding that the move came as a surprise. The company’s stock rose 3.1% to $50.98 in trading Friday morning, far outstripping its peers and indicating that the market was not convinced that “personal reasons” were the only force at work.
