Is Kirby Sommers Another She-Wolf Rebranding Herself For The Victim Industry? – by Travis Mateer

Before last week I had never heard of Kirby Sommers, but an episode of The Higherside Chat introduced me to this “Epstein researcher” who seems more adamant about accusing OTHER RESEARCHERS of misdeeds than she is actually stopping the Epstein Network’s global power and influence, specifically Whitney Webb, Johnny Vedmore, and the publisher I wrote about in May, Kris Millegan, who runs TrineDay Press.

With my own research into the Epstein Network, and an interview I did last month with Johnny Vedmore, I won’t claim NOT to be biased with my opinion of a woman who boasted about her relationship with a married billionaire before rebranding this relationship as an example of sexual slavery, with Kirby being, of course, being the innocent victim.

Ok, so does THIS sound like an innocent sex-slave victim?

When getting clicks is more important than vetting “researchers” like Kirby Sommers, REAL researchers, like Johnny Vedmore, pay the price, especially when they become the targets of a woman like “Kirby” who sold real estate in New York, made money off Hurricane Katrina survivors, and changed her name as part of her rebranding process.

None of these red flags were enough to stop Greg Carlwood from platforming this woman on the internet, which was created BY white men FOR white men, obviously.

If you didn’t know these facts about the internet, a University of Montana alum, Rebecca Solnit, has a new piece up at The Nation about mis-adventuring across the MANOSPHERE that I’m sure will be enlightening.

By gendering the creation of the internet and focusing on the MANOSPHERE slice of online culture, paid culture-agitators, like Solnit, get to ignore how TOTALLY INSANE social media has made many women–unless you consider identifying with a baby killer and throwing ice cubes in your bathroom to be normal female behavior.

Since I have court today and am anticipating a felony criminal charge for JUST SAYING NO to a shitty plea deal, I’m going to wrap up today’s post with an example of how fucked the truth is, and the reason the truth is officially fucked is because of this TERRIBLE idea, as reported by WIRED:

Would you put money on whether Covid-19 originated from a lab? How about whether some of the footage from the Apollo 11 moon landing was actually filmed on Earth?

Verifact Markets, a new startup that bills itself as a “prediction market for disputed facts,” is betting that people will be eager to weigh in on questions like these. The company’s premise is so quirky it sounds like something a couple of philosophy and economics majors dreamed after too many bong rips in their dorm room: Instead of wagering on the future, why not trade on stuff that already happened?

Not only is this gambling-on-the-past idea a TERRIBLE idea, it’s part of the gamification of everything, which is having a particularly destructive impact on men. Here’s a little more about this terrible idea:

When Verifact Markets launched on Friday, some of the initial topics traders could take a position on included whether Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide and whether insurance behemoth State Farm “intentionally delayed” claims related to the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires. The featured market during beta testing was, indeed, about the origins of Covid-19. (As of writing, the market is still open, with “true” priced at 76 cents and “false” at 32; the majority of participants had put money on the pandemic beginning at Wuhan Institute of Virology.)

Ok, I’m done. And from the looks of it, so is society.

More Lessons From The University Of Lawfare – by Travis Mateer

At the VERY end of 2025, Montana’s Attorney General, Austin Knudsen, had his future political career saved from destruction when a case against him–referred to by the Montana Free Press as a “misconduct saga”–was officially “laid to rest”:

Attorney General Austin Knudsen’s 41-count professional misconduct saga was laid to rest Dec. 31 in the final work hours of the final day of the fifth year since anonymous complaints triggered a high-stakes attorney discipline proceeding by accusing him of defying a Montana Supreme Court order and disparaging the system of justice.

The New Year’s Eve ruling was greeted by a flood of prepared statements from Republican elected officials and Knudsen himself, some issued minutes before the 149-page state supreme court order on the matter was posted online for public consumption.

A judicial panel technically dismissed the case but wrote that some of the misconduct charges were justified — in effect declining to deliver punishment beyond stern words.

Yes, despite the fact a judicial panel CONFIRMED that “some of the misconduct charges were justified”, Austin Knudsen faced no actual consequences for that misconduct.

I wonder why?

If Austin Knudsen had something that gave him insurance, like dirt on a Supreme Court Justice, who could that be? And what kind of dirt?

At the beginning of 2025 (Austin’s tough legal year), Supreme Court Justice, Mike McGrath, retired. For a little context on McGrath’s career trajectory, here’s some perspective on his tenure as a prosecutor:

Chief Justice McGrath was raised in Butte. A veteran, he served in the United States Air Force from 1970-1972. He earned a BA in business administration from the University of Montana in 1970 and graduated from Gonzaga University School of Law in 1975.

Following graduation from law school, Chief Justice McGrath worked as a Reginald Heber Smith Community Lawyer Fellow in Reno, Nevada, providing legal services to low-income clients. He returned to Montana as a Montana Assistant Attorney General from 1977 to 1982.

In 1982 he was elected as Lewis and Clark County Attorney in Helena and in his 18 years as the lead prosecutor for the County, he emphasized the prosecution of child abuse and neglect, sexual assault and DUI cases. He served as president of the Montana County Attorneys Association in 1992-1993.

The rumor I’ve heard is that McGrath was being investigated for misconduct with a minor and that Jason Ellsworth had this dirt, which he gave to Austin Knudsen, who then turned on Ellsworth and helped pull strings to get him investigated for corruption, and we all know how that went.

While this is just a conspiracy theory, it’s one of the angles I’m looking at in order to better understand the obvious lawfare against Sam Redfern, who I wrote an emergency post about yesterday after speaking with a member of his family and someone who saw the “aggressive” arrest go down.

The official story, as told by Griffin Smith at the Missoulian, is that the February raid by the ATF and the “Fed Hold” arrest on Sunday by the FBI and the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office is ONLY about an alleged violation of a protection order.

Does anyone really believe this?

Violations of protection orders are NOT usually investigated by the ATF and the FBI, so obviously there is more to the story than what we are being told, like how does this “X” account always get such quality inside info?

Who you working for, “Montana Muckraker”?

If the origin of Sam Redfern’s arrest on Sunday was a protection order, I wanted to know who opposing counsel could have been back then, so I scanned Redfern’s Facebook account for clues and found this:

Seeing that were four ladies of “justice” and one aspiring future Governor comprising this list, I wondered if, perhaps, the lady lawyers were as politically active as Sam was.

The answer? Yep!

A bill that would have Montana courts take into consideration adultery or physical abuse when considering division of property during a couple’s divorce could harm abuse victims and cost them even more in attorney’s fees, a prosecutor and family law attorneys said Friday.

“This bill is giving abusive partners a legal tool to use allegations of adultery in a public forum against their spouse to harass, humiliate and intimidate them into staying in a violent relationship,” said Emily Lucas, a Missoula family law attorney who testified in opposition to House Bill 237.

Emily Lucas is doing us ALL a favor by helping me make the case that there’s an INDUSTRY involved in “supporting” “victims”, which means that, yes, there are PROFESSIONAL VICTIMS, and they are so good at leveraging their victim status for personal, financial, and political gain that the good ones ensure you cannot even write their names without risking felony charges.

To unpack what Emily Lucas is saying in the above quote, if women are found to be lying, cheating home-wreckers, then it’s important for the Victim Industry to insulate them, legally, from financially experiencing the consequences.

Men, I hate to say this, but we are at war with this industry, whether you want to be or not.

While I prepare to face a felony criminal charge tomorrow, possibly in Landee Holloway’s court–the female judge who is up for reelection and who should be, at the very least, a little embarrassed I’m asking Epstein questions about her time with Missoula Probation and Parole–I figure now is as good a time as any to take MY investigation into the case of my missing Lego sign to the next level by releasing a still image from video footage acquired in pursuit of defending myself.

If you were at the Great Burn Brewery on June 19th from 5-6pm, I would love to speak with you, so contact me at willskink at yahoo dot com.

While Officer Castro is reportedly reserving 10am to call my PD to see the video evidence, which is of course the WORST time to call a Public Defender, my sense of time is getting more and more urgent, which doesn’t help my PTSD, currently untreated with counseling because I made Daddy angry and he uses money to control people, like our system does.

Because Sam Redfern’s case intersects with mine in ways I can’t disclose, I will be following what happens closely, and writing carefully, about only the things I feel necessary to disclose at this point, and for my own safety.

People who haven’t experienced lawfare have no idea the toll it takes as it grinds on for MONTHS and YEARS, and that’s by design. If people like me, who attended the University to be a writer, then created an LLC to be a content creator before Hurrican Harri____ hit, have to be made an example of, then I will take any more jail time this system feels necessary to give me and find MORE stories of weaponized restraining orders INSIDE those concrete walls in order to show how the new prisons and renovated jails, run by the same CORRUPT SHERIFFS, will be filled by this civil/criminal/psycho-bitch pipeline.

#HeToo

*a special thanks to all the readers and supporters I know who are NOT a part of the Victim Industry, it’s going to take both sides of the gender divide to stop lawfare and protect ACTUAL victims of abuse.

SAMUEL REDFERN IS IN IMMEDIATE DANGER INSIDE THE MISSOULA COUNTY JAIL!!! – by Travis Mateer

UPDATED WITH MISSOULIAN ARTICLE BELOW

When I heard that Samuel Pascal Redfern was in jail last night I had to see for myself, since the quality of “commentary” online was what you would expect.

I went to the jail detention portal, where names are listed, and confirmed that Sam was officially booked on a “Fed Hold” at 8:57pm by the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office:

After taking this screenshot I got what little sleep I could, but I felt uneasy. I’ve known Sam Redfern has been targeted since February, when Griffin Smith reported on the raid that put Sam in the hospital, but what I learned today from two people with direct knowledge of this case–someone who was present during his arrest, and a member of Sam’s family–I am VERY worried that Samuel Redfern may have already suffered a medical emergency IN JAIL!

The news report from February didn’t specify the medical reason for Redfern’s hospital visit, but his family member did because those in the family who HAD direct communication with Sam when he first arrived in jail told me that he was describing symptoms of cardiac distress over the phone, and that’s coming from someone in the family with a professional medical background.

After contacting the jail repeatedly about their concerns, and not being satisfied with the claim that Sam had seen a nurse, communication from the jail was cut off.

So the family called 911 to report their alarm that Sam could be having a medical emergency inside the jail and they KEPT calling 911 until THEY cut off communication.

There’s more I could say, like the report that the FBI were involved in the arrest, and that the raid in February involved something called a “sneak peek” warrant, but getting this information out NOW is more important, and that’s because the family has additional concerns that Sam could be moved somewhere out of Missoula where they will have even less information about what’s happening to him.

Don’t worry, readers of the most dangerous blog in Big Sky Country, as long as I’m not there with him, in jail, I’ll stay on this story as it develops.

Thanks for reading, and please say a prayer for Sam Redfern. Regardless of what you may feel about his political work and strong opinions, no one deserves to have the law used against them like this.

UPDATE–Here is the Missoulian article’s report:

The Only Thing Worse Than Sheriff Math Is Girl Math – by Travis Mateer

Math isn’t technically considered a language, but it’s been referred to as “the language of nature” by thinkers like Galileo, who had to appeal to theological enforcers of religious dogma at the time of his philosophical work when making his appeal.

For context, this article is worth considering. Here’s an excerpt:

In his argument with the Aristotelians and the theologians Galileo was operating on an uneven playing field. Theology based on the Bible and the works of the Church Fathers was certain knowledge. Aristotelian physics was knowledge but mathematical astronomy was not knowledge and mathematical physics was a contradiction in terms. The knowledge hierarchy was a pyramid with theology at the top and Aristotelian physics at the bottom the mathematical sciences were not knowledge delivery systems. Galileo tried to challenge the system with what was, in essence, a theological and not a scientific argument. He proposed that God had written two books the Bible and the Book of Nature. The Bible was the word of God and so had to be interpreted by theologians whereas the Book of Nature, and here comes our title quote, is written in the language of mathematics and therefore must be interpreted by mathematicians. Galileo wanted his opponents to consider the two books as being of equal importance and equal significance. He went even further along what could only prove to be a hopeless path, under the circumstances, he claimed that the Bible, that is the word of God, was open to interpretation and therefore variable whereas the Book of Nature was unambiguous and therefore when read would deliver an indisputable truth.

Before we get to Ashley Flowers–the true crime podcaster who I’m using for the face of this post–and the Utah “rape” victim, who made her Utah University the rape capitol of America by suggesting her intimate partner raped her over a hundred times, I want to explain what I mean by “Sheriff math”.

The term is a hyper-local one I made up a few years ago after my confounding experience with the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office when a sex offender assaulted TWO state employees during a volunteer homeless camp cleanup and received only ONE misdemeanor charge, leading me to ask the Sheriff’s Office (back when they would actually respond to me) how TWO victims could only equal ONE criminal complaint? One of those “victims”, I was told, had not reported a significant degree of fear, so the judgement call was made to only issue the assailant one citation, which is how I arrived at the conclusion that Sheriff math means 1 + 1 = 1.

Shifting now to girl math, let’s take a look at how ME + SAD = CRIME because this is a VERY impressive and quite terrifying (if you’re a man who speaks nature math and not cuck math) example of what I’m talking about:

National reports have identified the University of Utah as having the highest number of reported rapes of any university or college in the country.

The school had “nearly double the number logged at the next-highest schools,” the New York Post reported Saturday, citing the 146 reported rapes the U. documented in 2024.

That number is right. But there is context that explains that 2024 count — and there is more recent data that shows the U. has since seen a drop in reported sexual violence since then.

…

The U. has previously attributed its increase in reported rapes for 2024 to one “multiple-month relationship plagued by interpersonal violence.” In total, 110 of the school’s reported rapes in 2024 stemmed from that.

Another 110 were also logged in the dating violence category from that same relationship, the U. explained when 2024 numbers were originally released.

Both the victim and the alleged perpetrator were students at the time, the U. noted, and both had since graduated and left the school.

Girl math is NOT the same thing as lying, which everyone does. Instead it appears to involve an internal alchemy of transformation that allows things like “regret” and “shame” to become CRIME and CRIME and, if those CRIMES are brutal enough, girl math can allow someone like Ashley Flowers to see and cash-in on the opportunity to entertain the predominantly female audience of TRUE CRIME content.

But, when trouble arises in CONTENT CREATOR world, it’s important to understand the kind of strategy that can be utilized by using girl math. Here’s the equation, followed by an excerpt from the article, that explains how Flowers handled internal strife at her company, Audiochuck:

THREAT + HUMAN SHIELD = NO ACCOUNTABILITY

If you don’t understand how the girl math equation translates to its deployment as a strategy, let me spell it out: unhappy staff who are unhappy at your BUSINESS decisions with MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR media deals will be MUCH LESS LIKELY to challenge your shitty leadership if you use your own child as a human shield to deflect the terrible threat of ACCOUNTABILITY from the people you’ve hired, and who are therefore economically dependent on you.

If you continue reading this article at Bloomberg for all the ups and downs, which I won’t be lingering on here, you’ll read excerpts like this one, which I will be putting into deeper context:

While the “newcomers” to the FOR PROFIT business side of Flowers’ TRUE CRIME media operations were left wondering about the NON-PROFIT side, “Season of Justice”, readers of this blog don’t have to wonder because, when you follow the money, you find nests of grifters who can even have lovely ebony skin, like Angela Mew, who claims to have worked for a U.S. Senator, but never says WHO that Senator was.

Angela brings over a decade of expertise in development and nonprofit fundraising, working with organizations that tackle a diverse array of issues, including environmental justice, legal aid, policy and advocacy, health, education, and youth empowerment. Most recently, she served as the Chief Development Officer for a national organization dedicated to engaging BIPOC communities, where she successfully crafted and executed a fundraising strategy that sustained a $20 million operating budget.

Her prior experience includes key roles at Elevate, the Center for Court Innovation, and the Legal Aid Society, where she significantly contributed to fundraising efforts for operating budgets ranging from $10 million to $97 million. Angela began her career at Capalino and Company, a government relations firm in New York City, and also worked in the office of a United States Senator. In addition to serving on the board of Black Excellence, Angela has also served on the Iowa State Foster Care Review Board and as the Foundation Chair of Jack & Jill of America Des Moines Chapter.

She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Social Sciences, pursued a graduate degree at Harvard University, and completed coursework toward a Juris Doctorate at Northwestern California University School of Law. As a consultant, she remains committed to helping organizations develop compelling, high-quality grant proposals.

When I continued down this girl math rabbit hole with the “Center for Court Innovation” (also known as Justice Innovation) what I found was an org that finally had an equation that could encompass the value of a man (BLACK + MAN = MARKETABLE TOKEN PIC):

Within this 990 form showing the summary narrative, the dollars involved, and a smattering of how fifty million bucks can be distributed across Universities and court reform advocacy groups, the overlap of girl math with cuck math–along with the larger implication of a FINAL EQUATION–can be seen for those with the eyes to see.

Cuck math?

To stop the problem of people who follow money beyond the smokescreen of girl math, cuck math is an important part of the “narrative control” equation, which is why it’s instructive to have a “man” like Kevin Hunt who regularly tells me I’m a misogynist. This happens because FEAR + DESIRE = PERFORMATIVE MALE.

Returning to girl math, the Cornell 7 case is highlighting that CRIMINAL CLAIMS – CRIMINAL CHARGES + CIVIL CLAIMS – EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE = THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION, with an X variable being the deranging incentives of the algo-driven attention economy that are ever-present now in how we consume information.

And no, I don’t think reality can survive this insanity.

For any man right now identifying as a “D”, I’m sorry to report there’s no escaping your submission to the power of cuck math, so why not just accept it, like Sam Forstag did a few days ago in order to gain as many lady votes as possible before we, as a society, start seriously re-thinking that 19th amendment.

With all this cultural detritus to consider, how will regular men and women ever avoid the FINAL EQUATION, which can best be summed up as DIVIDE & CONQUER?

Amazingly, I have a solution, and it starts with returning to the language of math found in the Book of Nature. Hear me out, ladies.

If you have read the Jon Krakauer book about Missoula and campus rape culture, like I did when it first came out, then you know there’s a good lesson in that book about statistically relevant male rapists who truly are serial predators of sexual violence.

On the flip side, as the example in Utah shows, there’s ALSO, I would argue, statistically relevant wolf-cryers who cry wolf about men they regret having relationships with to the point that an entire University had to qualify why they were rising to the top of the watchlist for college sexual assaults.

What I recommend is a GENDERED approach to men finding the statistical aberrations in our tribe, while women can work on finding the wolf-cryers in theirs and, when the work is done, maybe then we can work on finding a way to remove our youth from these hand-held grooming machines destroying any chance they have of being able to engage in the kind of healthy intimate relations we still must still engage in to, you know, propagate the species.

To wrap up today’s post, let’s take a quick look at an image of the political imposter, Alani Bankhead, telling her gullible lady voters that she’s a “Pedo hunter” for U.S. Senate:

Later this week I’ll be writing about the serious problem of reducing the Epstein Network to simply being a problem of “pedophiles” and illegal sex with children because those of us researching STRUCTURAL power know it’s so much more than that.

For now, let me just remind readers of a reality they might not want to acknowledge as more context drips out about the Epstein Network: without key WOMEN in positions of power, like Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein could NEVER have fucked as many underage girls as he’s suspected of fucking.

Earth Horse Beats Fire Horse Dead, Dead, Dead…Chapter 6

Today I’m posting Chapter 6 of Earth Horse Beats Fire Horse Dead, Dead, Dead, titled “Trojan Horse Haunted“, at my Substack, so check it out.

The image variation for today’s post is inspired by Brian West, my former co-worker and alleged “friend” who helped his employer make the case that I’m a threat worthy of a restraining order because I was being accused, at the time, of slashing tires in an incident where Mr. West’s car was damaged, along with a bunch of other cars, near the library downtown.

When I heard this rumor about me back in January–a rumor, I will note, being spread by people associated with my former collaborator on the documentary, Engen’s Missoula–I went to the police station to try and shut it down, but a few months later the claims were used in a civil process that don’t require anything like “evidence” in order to convince a judge (like Vannatta) that I need to be restrained.

It’s THAT employer restraining order, and one of those Substack posts, that will be the basis for a new felony charge against me, which will be dropping next week after I tell Mac Bloom to take his plea offer and shove it.

Since I do better investigations than local cops, I believe the suspect who slashed tires is a dude who bounces between Ravalli County and Missoula by the name of Michael Maucher.

Why do I think Michael Maucher is capable of slashing tires in Missoula? Maybe because he was arrested recently for slashing tires in Hamilton:

A 33-year-old-man is facing criminal mischief charges after a tire-slashing spree in Hamilton that damaged 11 vehicles.

According to court documents, Hamilton police arrested Michael Patrick Maucher on Aug. 20 after matching him as the suspect captured in surveillance footage.

On Aug. 19, the Hamilton Police Department received reports that cars parked at multiple businesses near Copper King Court had slashed tires.

Court documents detail each tire had a puncture of about one inch.

The damages total more than $4,000.

Hamilton Police Chief Steve Snavely told MTN last week that the community was crucial in helping officers find and arrest the suspect.

Despite my best efforts, local law enforcement never showed me the video surveillance that they showed my former co-workers, which made it difficult to defend myself as my former employer collaborated with the state legislator to impose severe restrictions on me. I filed a motion for more time to defend myself from these accusations, but the judge denied that motion, so now that denial is part of the appeal that will be officially filed with the Montana Supreme Court next week.

Last November–two months after Leah Hartley was found dead in an irrigation ditch, with Brian West as law enforcement’s main “Person of Interest”–Brian texted me to ask a big favor.

Why did Brian need me to turn on his computer? Since he’s a registered sex offender who was, at the time, being monitored by Missoula Probation and Parole, Brian could have gotten into trouble if he was late returning from his vacation, so turning on his computer, and getting a video on YouTube to play, made it look like he was home from vacation when he was NOT actually home.

While I regret complying with this request, and tried to inform Probation and Parole about it months later (they didn’t want to hear about it), Brian determined my hours at work, and I was broke, so I did him this favor one month before my employment was terminated.

While I’m glad the documentary Engen’s Missoula exists, I’m not glad it put me into the orbit of people I should have known better to trust, and I don’t like how the documentary we made depicted Brandon Bryant, who I have since apologized to for allowing his “friend” to throw him under the bus like that. I may have more to say about this next week, so stay tuned.

If I’m found guilty on TWO criminal charges of violating restraining orders, I’ll be facing up to two years in prison, untold monetary fines, and probably many months, if not years, of “supervision”, which I’ll also have to pay for. Until those consequences come down on me, though, I’m going to continue demonstrating what it looks like to be a man of courage and principles who will proudly wear his criminal history like a fine suit, since it doesn’t entail drug trafficking or sexual assaulting a 15 year old girl.

And maybe, if I’m lucky, Office Castro will finish his thorough investigation into the missing Lego sign before my first trial arrives.
