Yesterday I sat with my puppet candidate for Sheriff and watched some Missoula protestors put up their NO ICE protest signs. Since I had my own cardboard sign, and a hat with money in it, the older woman who approached me must have thought I was a homeless panhandler.

“I just gave all my money to that other guy so he would move,” the woman said, pointing to where “Johnny” has been hanging out for months near Betty’s Divine on the Hip Strip. “I’m sorry I don’t have more money for you.”

“You gave Johnny money so he would move away from your protest spot?” I asked, making sure I heard her correctly.

“Yes,” she replied, “but he said he didn’t need the money.”

I explained the finer points of drug trafficking for this ignorant liberal protestor, then explained that MY sign was testing the knowledge of locals when it came to the man trying to keep his Sheriff job.

“Do you know the name of our Sheriff?” I asked. “I’ll give you the money in the hat if you do.”

“No,” she replied, “and I would like to hear more, but I have to get back.”

After the protestor scampered back to the cognitive safety of her tribe, I packed up my shit and left.

Four years ago the skim-and-give slush fund created by Tax Increment Financing and doled by the Missoula Redevelopment Agency inspired locals to rise up and protest how public money was being used. That protest became a documentary called Engen’s Missoula.

While no one in legacy media acknowledged that this documentary existed and was being actively suppressed when a showing at The Roxy was cancelled, there are two good examples of an online response: the conservative one from Western Montana News, and whatever you call these anonymous critics on Reddit.

When you peruse the comments, like I did this morning, the general retardation of Missoula protest culture becomes easier to understand. Here are some of my favorite:

Lucky for “mechanicalhorses”, a former Indy journalist by the name of Matthew Frank just helped remind me about another big reason why Missoula protestors are more than likely too stupid to pivot–an in depth article about using the naming of a snowplow as a form of protest.

I wish I was kidding.

Something was missing when Missoula announced the winners of its annual Name Our Snowplows Contest last week — ICE.

Instead of clever and defiant ICE-inspired names you’d expect from a town with Missoula’s activist bona fides, the winning submissions, picked by the city, were “Bob,” “Betty Whiteout” and “Ctrl + Salt + Delete.”

Sure, those are fine. But also: really?

If you’re wondering how a corpse found on a popular hiking trail can go without a name month after month after month, perhaps it’s because Matthew Frank is using his investigative skills to uncover why his hunch that “something was missing” from this vacuous signaling of virtue was correct.

We checked the winning names a couple days ago only after Chicago’s snowplow naming contest made headlines because voters there picked “Abolish ICE.” Sounds like something Missoula would do, we thought. So we were mildly disappointed to learn what Public Works would be painting on our plows, however idle they may be this winter.

But then we noticed the contest precludes submissions deemed political or inappropriate. No doubt the city had received several entries reflecting Missoulians’ ICE anger and angst — and all sorts of other names unfit for public snow-removal equipment. They were just keeping things, as the rules say, “fun and welcoming.” And, unlike in Chicago, there was no public vote.

So we asked the good folks at Public Works for the full list of submissions, and they obliged.

The name submitted the most? “Abolish ICE.”

Whatever release of dopamine Frank got in his “journalist” brain when making this discovery, I hope it was worth it, because the collective IQ of protest culture may have just dropped a point or two.

Speaking of retarded political actions, one thing to maybe NOT do if you don’t want to make your side of the two party political con-job look like a cult that would happily kill the Constitution for GREAT LEADER if they were told to, is denigrate people in your party who don’t get immediate war hard-ons when world-changing assassinations go down, especially when you can’t muster much strength in the People’s Republic of Missoula.

If the political opposition in Missoula County would like to show me they are serious, then find me (and pay for) a lawyer willing to take on the slanderous and CRIMINAL state senator, Ellie Boldman, who COULD NOT WITHSTAND what I know about her.

For example, have I written anything about the alleged sexual assault Ellie Boldman is claimed to have committed? Until today, no, and I won’t write anything more which might identify the victim who told me about the incident, because I consider Ellie Boldman (formerly Hill, then Smith) to be a very dangerous person to those who cross her. Just ask the family of Catherine Shepard.

There are some fascinating fissures in the Montana Republican Party that I’ll be looking at soon, and developments in political races outside of Missoula I might look at, depending on some factors, most of which are beyond my control. Such is life.

Last month conservative talk show host, Aaron Flint, gave this Iranian piece of shit his platform to spout pro-war slop. Mehrdad Kia has been pushing for America, his adopted nation, to militarily attack his home nation for so long, my four year old post calling out this piece of shit is now more relevant than ever: “Meet The Propaganda Peddling UM Professor From Iran I Had Pegged 13 Years Ago“

For some local Iranian ass-kissing, check out this fawning depiction of Kia from the last round of bombing Iran:

The University of Montana’s Dr. Mehrdad Kia has long talked about the terrorist regime controlling Iran as a “paper tiger.” With Israel in charge of the skies, and the people in Tehran fleeing the city- is that now on full display?

The University of Montana’s Dr. Mehrdad Kia is not only Montana’s leading expert on the Middle East, he is one of our nation’s finest experts as well. Dr. Kia grew up in Tehran and fled just before the radical Islamists took over.

Just over one month ago, we talked with Dr. Kia about the strategic importance of President Trump’s trip to the Middle East, and how he was boxing out Iran, Russia, and China. Now look at what is taking place in Iran: Israel controls their airspace, the ayatollah is hiding in a bunker, the people of Tehran are listening to President Trump when he tells them to flee the city- and China and Russia appear to be staying out of it (by and large).

The timing of these strikes is obviously designed to stop Americans from talking about Epstein’s influence on American politics, but will it work? Sure it will, because who is going to tell the chickenhawks they are going to war to protect a class of transnational psychopaths who fuck children and probably hunt humans for sport?

To further ensure that Republicans go along with the war program for Israel, the fake Christian organization known as Turning Point USA is hoping the campaign to depict Candace Owns as demon possessed works. If any self-respecting conservative Christian actually knew who Paul Vallely was, they might wonder how a man who co-wrote the “Mind War” manual with an avowed Satanist (Michael Aquino) could be considered an appropriate board member for a Christian organization.

Last year, when Trump did what the Israeli hand up his ass compelled him to do, Montana’s Senator told us this wasn’t the BEGINNING of a war but the END of one. Fuck this guy and EVERY asshole who thinks this is our fight.

Montana Republicans and the conservatives who elect them are incredibly pathetic, especially when it comes to their servile devotion to Israel. Hell, even when a tiny hat New York transplant snuck into Crosspoint church to secretly record them, what did Montana Republicans do? Jack shit, just like the Missoula cops I reported this to.

Kicking off round two of this “war” on a Friday night after the week that the Clintons were finally forced to testify before Congress about Epstein is such a bitch-ass move, but what else can we expect from a President who is a bitch for Israel?

I strongly urge anyone supporting this “war” to sign up and fight. If you are NOT willing to die, then shut the fuck up.

When Obama went full drone-hawk I stopped supporting Democrats and never went back. That’s what having principles looks like. As for Republicans, conservatives, and supposed “Christians”, we’ll see what’s more important; principles or blind tribalism to the class of psychopaths who are terrified you, dear citizen, will realize they are ALL compromised. Every single fucking one of them.

Prove me wrong.

After several years of trying to get people to care about how the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office ended a homeless man’s life on January 5th, 2020, an email like the one above might seem like possible evidence of something nefarious afoot, but even if it were an outright admission that “Surviving the Game” was real, so what?

Three years I wrote about the Buddha-loving Montana Pritzker who is NOT the Pritzker running Illinois, nor the Pritzker running the Secretary of Transportation office under Obama.

And none of THOSE Pritzkers were the Pritzker who got to fly a helicopter for his birthday in Afghanistan!

Patraeus was, for those who don’t remember, a Director of the CIA between 2010-2011 until an extramarital affair ended his tenure. To bring it back to Montana, the CIA helped the private-sector company, Oracle, get its footing, which I wrote about in relation to Big Sky country and our current Governor here. Considering how long I’ve lived here (26 years) and blogged (16 years) perhaps my perspective on an email like this could be relevant:

While I wait to see if anyone wants to take me up on my offer to expound on the research I’ve compiled since last September, my schedule is embarrassingly open. That’s why I feel the best use of my time is soft-launching a very special candidacy for a very special local office.

If you see Pirate Booty at the beer festival tomorrow, make sure to ask him about his jail conversion policy. You won’t regret it.

Two years ago an RV started on fire in a vacant lot near the Town Pump on Reserve Street. After one person was taken to the hospital, the “news” report simply stated that the fire was “under investigation”. Like most local media “news” reports, no subsequent reporting was ever done to give readers a better idea WHY this vacant lot has become such a problem.

To confirm that Brad Morris owns this vacant lot I went to the Montana Cadastral website. Who is Brad Morris? Brad is a former surgeon who bought Snowbowl in 1984 with some other doctors who, after less than a decade, all divested themselves from the skiing business, leaving Morris and his wife the sole owners of both Snowbowl and the vacant lot by Town Pump.

According to Montana law, Brad Morris, as the private land owner of this lot, has a “duty of care” to fix or warn of hazards on his property. When the Facebook group that regularly organizes volunteers to CLEAN this private land, the comments from a handful of dumbasses were worth documenting for posterity, like this proud defender of private property rights:

Does Brad Morris have a right to allow illegal drug use on his private land? What about the right to litter, or the right to let people dump piss and shit on the ground? The answer is NO because laws do exist that set limitations on what can be done with private land. Got that, JP?

Another commenter provided the predictable victim card defense that excuses ALL behavior generated by those living marginally in our community.

This assumption that enforcing existing laws is somehow criminalizing being homeless is complete bullshit. When you listen to those who are actually dealing with this issue on the ground, like volunteers picking up needles or people actually WORKING in proximity to this shining example of RV tweaker culture, you get a much more accurate description of reality than what the “Jacob Noahs” of this dumb town choose to see.

If Missoula virtue-signalers would like MORE reality to help cure them of being willfully retarded, here’s someone from the frontlines of Seattle’s “homeless” problem explaining the differences between working-poor homeless and drug addicts:

I’ve spent years working directly with Seattle’s homeless population, not studying them from university offices, or analyzing data sets from a comfortable distance, but on the streets, in the encampments, doing street-level engagement and intervention. When I read yet another opinion piece (“Homelessness in Seattle: We can’t unsee it,” Dec. 28, 2025) attributing our homelessness crisis primarily to housing costs, I have to ask: Are we really going to continue trusting consultants and researchers over what our own eyes tell us?

The December piece by Walter Hatch follows a familiar pattern in academia: Start with a conclusion, in this case, that “it’s a housing problem,” then find data to support it. However, those of us working on the ground are aware of a critical fact that these analyses consistently overlook: There’s a fundamental distinction between the “crisis population” living in visible squalor on our streets and individuals who are the working poor — couch-surfing, living with family or struggling with roommates to afford rent.

We cannot conflate these populations. They are not the same.

Walk through any encampment in Seattle. What you see is not a collection of people who simply can’t afford first and last month’s rent. What you see, what we all see, is the devastating evidence of severe mental health crises and, far more commonly, active drug addiction. The refuse, the chaos, is not created by economic hardship. This is the visible manifestation of untreated addiction and serious psychiatric illness.

Thank you, Andrea Suarez, for stepping up and telling all the Homeless Industrial Complex FAILURES more politely than I can muster that their models are fucked and their scam is no longer viable.

Lee Enterprises–one of the main culprits exacerbating Missoula’s retardation problem–is doing its best to leverage empathy for clicks, but I’m here to counter this disingenuous effort to go BOO HOO about the most recent corpse the virtue-signalers are eager to get you to feel sorry for.

Congratulations, Lorrie, your death is now a leveraged talking point for the “professionals” who turn their failure into job security through an amazing process of emotional alchemy, which couldn’t happen without Lee Enterprises stoking the fire.

I don’t expect a Lee Enterprises article on this contested dirt lot to appear any time soon, but if they DO decide to engage in another manipulative attempt at “reporting” on the local Homeless Industrial Complex, I would be willing to bet the angle will be a critical one aimed at the volunteer group and NOT the private land owner who has a legal responsibility to maintain his land.

Prove me wrong, Missoulian.

Missoula’s Mayor is right where she belongs–in a foreign country some billionaire globalists are preparing to bunker down in when the shit hits the fan, billionaires like Peter Thiel, who just happened to visit Missoula last June before heading off to chat with the Bilderberg globalists. Hmmm. If you’re curious how this relates to Epstein, just put “Valar Ventures” into the Epstein Files search bar and see what comes up.

One of the things I learned about our “sister city” relationship with Palmerston North is that the caliber of man in this foreign country is so high, we imported a Sheriff Deputy, since I guess we can’t find enough men in Montana to do the job. Hmmm.

Mayor Davis met recently with Willie Brown, who moved to Missoula from Palmerston North 17 years ago and works as a Missoula County Sheriff’s Deputy. “As someone who is from Palmerston North and who has lived in Missoula for 17 years, I have been involved in numerous exchanges between our cities and regions,” Brown said. “This Sister City partnership is extremely important, strategic and beneficial to both cities, our people and our nations as a whole. Through these relationships and interactions, representatives from Palmerston North have taken ideas and initiatives from Missoula and implemented them in our city in New Zealand, and vice versa.”

Thanks to the Epstein Files I now have a better idea how cosmopolitan Missoula truly is. I wrote about Sultan Sulayem’s odd Missoula connection on February 3rd, weeks before he was tied to the torture video and subsequently stepped down from DP World, then I showed how quickly enmeshed a Berlin-born banker like Klaus von Stutterheim became after “retiring” from his lucrative managing director position at Deutsche Bank to pull Democrat strings in Big Sky Country.

In the USVI (United States Virgin Islands) Epstein donated to United Way through a trust and, it would appear, Catholic Charities, which are the type of non-profit organizations funding the programs I once did here, in Missoula.

And here’s some of what I found regarding the foundation that donated to Catholic Charities (EFTA01125352):

The Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation has just donated critical funds to the Catholic Charities of the US Virgin Islands. The Catholic Charities of the USVI is the largest catholic organization in the USVI and it provides vital and uniquely effective support for the poor throughout the USVI.

For more than 46 years, the Catholic Charities of the Virgin Islands (CCVI) has been feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless and clothing the needy. CCVI offers a wide spectrum of services to struggling families and individuals; including the homeless, mentally ill, the substance abuser and homebound elderly. For such a small organization, CCVI also provides an impressive volume of support. Just last year, they assisted more than 700 people, served more than 44,000 hot meals and fed more than 200 people daily.

…

Like many Catholic organizations, CCVI also has a strong focus on youth education. Kids Learn and Camp Shriver both offer intensive multi-week learning and sports camps to underprivileged children and continue to stay involved in the children’s lives, mentoring them through school and challenges they might face.

The Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation was founded by science philanthropist and education activist, Jeffrey Epstein in 2000. Jeffrey Epstein is a resident of St. Thomas in the USVI. In addition to science research, his foundation actively supports education and youth initiatives across the US Virgin Islands. Jeffrey Epstein is a former member of the Council of Foreign Relations, the NY Academy of Science, The Trilateral Commission and a former board member of Rockefeller University.

If all this wasn’t worrisome enough, it’s an organization I had never heard of before that really got my attention, and it’s one I haven’t seen much attention on yet. Hopefully that will change when you understand what William Spear and his board are up to.

For context on the “Fortunate Blessings Foundation“, here’s some of the history that stood out after making my first run at the website:

In 1998, William and Joan Spear incorporated the Fortunate Blessings Foundation which became the more formal non-profit educational entity that remains today. It was granted a 501(c)3 designation and began to actively solicit donation in support of its activities. FBF became the primary host of The Passage, the five-day residential retreat for caregivers, hospice staff and others I health care. The Passage was first offered in Switzerland and later in Italy, Ireland, England, Croatia, Portugal, Oregon, Georgia, California, Massachusetts, and New York. Parallel to FBF, the Silent Oceans Trust was established in 1999 as one of its initiatives to bring greater attention to the damage to marine mammals through the deployment of low frequency sonar.

Following the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami on December 26, 2002, FBF launched its disaster response initiative, Second Response (SR), leading teams of trauma specialists to Sri Lanka (2002-2005), Indonesia (2006), Samoa (2009), Japan (2011, 2012), the Philippines (2013), Croatia (2015), Nepal (2015) and Uganda (2018). Second Response facilitators trained more than 6,000 parents, caregivers, nurses and community health staff in these countries, resulting in 400,000 children participating in PLAYshops throughout the world. FBF also dispatched teams in the US to the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut after Super Storm Sandy (2012). Training for FEMA and Homeland Security staff and volunteers through the Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York took place from 2013 to 2018. Nearly all public educational efforts offered by FBF and SR as FBF then became dormant during the outbreak of the COVID epidemic.

I already have some very interesting additional perspective on this organization, but I’m saving that for another day. For today (Twin Peaks Day) I’m going to end today’s post with an image of a different woman holding an axe, one that I hope reminds anyone traveling around the world to PR-pimp Missoula what kinds of realities the underclasses have in the wake of globalist supremacy.

Stay sharp out there, moon crickets, thems snipe hunters be some real nasty muthafuckers!
