What’s “Imposter Syndrome”? Is it made up psychobabble created to allow ACTUAL imposters to charge money to peddle “God” and other forms of fixing made up bullshit?

Because that’s kinda what it sounds like.

Impostor syndrome, also known as impostor phenomenon, impostorism, or impostor thoughts, is a psychological experience in which a person suffers from feelings of intellectual and/or professional fraudulence. One source defines it as “the subjective experience of perceived self-doubt in one’s abilities and accomplishments compared with others, despite evidence to suggest the contrary”.

Those who suffer from impostor syndrome often doubt their skills, talents, or accomplishments. They may have a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as frauds.

If Alani Bankhead is an imposter, which I think she is, would she be the kind of imposter who is AFRAID of being exposed? Or, more likely, would she be the kind of imposter who is confident that simply being a woman is enough to keep any critical scrutiny at arm’s length for her mission to split the vote and get Kurt Alme elected to the Senate?

I don’t know, God, what do YOU think?

If you believe Alani Bankhead, God sent her to war in order to annihilate her own self-doubt about being an imposter so she could move to Montana and tell OTHER people how NOT be imposters in their own lives.

To better understand how God helped Alani Bankhead find paid consulting work with the conservative Gianforte administration, here are several more screenshots from Bankhead’s website, including how much it costs to have this Godly woman fix your broken and anxious identity:

Maybe it’s my stubborn man-brain at work here, but does ANYTHING about these screenshots give off DEMOCRAT energy? So why are so many WOMEN supporting Alani Bankhead? Is it their innate misandry, or hatred of men, driving them to support this God-thumping “Democrat” who can’t seem to get her story right with Planned Parenthood?

For context on the competing narratives over Alani Bankhead’s “Planned Parenthood” outreach, here’s a local article that Montana women who love the D can readily ignore:

The back-and-forth between Planned Parenthood and Democratic US Senate candidate Alani Bankhead continued this week after both groups offered differing accounts over the endorsement process.

Last week, NonStop Local reported through multiple sources that Bankhead did not complete the endorsement process with Planned Parenthood Action Fund.

The Bankhead campaign retorted initially that they did engage with Planned Parenthood but later clarified saying they only received phone calls that were aimed at forcing the candidate to drop out of the US Senate race.

This issue with Planned Parenthood gets even more concerning for D-loving women in Montana when you realize Bankhead lied misspoke about filling out and turning in the Planned Parenthood questionnaire:

In a video circulating online, Bankhead said she completed the questionnaire and sent it back to PPAF. Jeri Bucy, the Bankhead campaign’s strategic communications director, said in a follow-up that Bankhead misspoke.

Planned Parenthood and the Planned Parenthood Action Fund are separate organizations under the same umbrella. One is a healthcare provider, the other is a political action arm.

“Planned Parenthood Action Fund made multiple good faith efforts to get in touch with Montana’s Senate candidates so they could participate in the Action Fund’s endorsement process,” Nora Walsh-DeVries, Vice President, Political and Legislative Affairs, Planned Parenthood Action Fund said to NonStop Local via email. “ Not everyone responded, but Seth Bodnar did. Seth proved himself to be the reproductive healthcare champion Montanans deserve, which is why Planned Parenthood Action Fund is proud to endorse his candidacy for Senate.”

Bankhead’s team has disputed NonStop Local’s reporting and is adamant that they were never sent a questionnaire.

Maybe THIS is a more accurate representation of Alani Bankhead’s approach to terminating pregnancies as a woman of faith who loves God:

The national political commentariat has definitely taken notice of Bankhead’s refusal to play nice with the strategy other Democrat candidates folded to earlier this cycle, as reported by Vox:

In Nebraska, South Dakota, and Idaho, the candidate who won the Democratic primary has since quit the race — often with some “urging” from the party establishment — to pave the way for a two-way matchup between a Republican incumbent and an independent. (Democrats tried to similarly clear the way for an independent in Montana, but the party’s nominee refused to quit the race.)

The theory is that the Democratic brand is so toxic to so many voters in these states that it’s impossible for a Democrat to win there nowadays — but that there’s no great love for the Republican establishment either, and dissatisfaction with the political status quo more generally. So perhaps a fresh-faced independent could capture essentially all of a red state’s Democratic voters and peel away enough Republicans and independents to win.

Could this strategy have been successful in Montana? Considering the Republican in-fighting in Montana was pretty vicious during the primary, highlighted by Steve Daines pulling his last minute retirement trick out of his hat so the establishment could anoint their chosen candidate, I think Bodnar likely would have been competitive, but that was before Alani Bankhead went to the University of Montana campus in June to resurrect the divisive ME TOO attack that helped validate why Seth Bodnar turned his back on Montana Democrats in the first place.

Was it worth it, ladies?

For a little more evidence that Alani Bankhead is NOT who she claims to be, I took a closer look at the “International Justice Mission” Bankhead was involved with and was pretty surprised at what I found.

With “gross” receipts totalling $136,065,911 dollars, the International Justice Mission really is one of the world’s “largest anti-slavery NGOs”, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a few whoopsies from time to time, as reported by the BBC:

A little after midnight on 6 September, 2022, Musah Mustafa emerged from his thatched-roof hut to relieve himself and saw four cars speeding towards his tiny village.

Mogyigna was barely a village. With just a handful of family homes and two dozen people in total, it was more like a dot in the middle of an expanse of farmland in northern Ghana. Cars were a rare sight during the day, let alone at night. Musah hid behind a tree and watched. When he saw armed men from the cars approach the two homes, he shouted in an attempt to wake the other residents.

But before anyone could act, the men entered the huts and forcibly removed four children, carrying an 11-year-old girl called Fatima by her arms and legs from the room where she had been sleeping with her grandparents.

A gun pointed at her neck, Fatima’s grandmother Sana pleaded with the men. She did not understand why the children were being taken away. Two of the children’s uncles were also taken. Sana feared she would never see her relatives again.

In the eyes of Mogyigna’s villagers, a violent kidnapping had taken place.

No, silly villagers, this was NOT a kidnapping, it was the kind of AMAZING work that Alani Bankhead was directly involved with, so let’s read more:

But this was not a kidnapping.

Officially, it was a rescue operation carried out by Ghanaian police officers, under Ghana’s Human Trafficking Act. The children were transferred into the care of social services.

The operation was instigated by IJM.

With around $100m (£78m) in funding annually over the past two years, IJM is one of the world’s leading anti-trafficking organisations.

In the UK, IJM says it can count on the support of nearly 300 churches, and more than £220,000 ($280,000) was raised last year from churches and other donors by IJM UK to support activities in Ghana.

But according to our investigation, IJM has removed some children from their families in cases where there was scarce-to-no evidence of trafficking and this aggressive approach may have been fuelled by a target-driven culture inside IJM.

We found two documented cases of rescue operations in which children were forcibly, traumatically and unjustly removed and the children’s relatives prosecuted as child traffickers. One of the cases was Fatima’s.

Want even more about how Bankhead’s former employer saves children? Ok, here’s more:

“I was terrified and I started crying,” the 11-year-old said about the night of Operation Hilltop. “I thought they were taking us away to kill us. We didn’t know where they were taking us.”

While in the shelter she thought her “grandmother, grandfather, uncles had died”.

“When I was taken away, I cried a lot while thinking about my family,” she added.

Fatima’s uncles, Nantogma Abukari and Sayibu Alhassan, were arrested during the operation.

They were prosecuted on charges of child trafficking and child labour and spent all their savings to attend court and bail hearings. Every return trip to court cost them more than 1,500 Ghana cedis ($132; £104) in travel – the equivalent of almost two months’ work.

Prosecutions are an essential part of IJM’s anti-slavery model, as the charity argues they serve as a deterrent. Court documents show that an IJM lawyer stood in for the state prosecutor in one of the court hearings.

The uncles’ case was eventually dropped and their names cleared, but it continues to dog them. Some members of their family no longer speak to them, they said, driven by a suspicion that they had “colluded” in some way “with the people who took the children away”.

With just a handful of weeks left before the midterm election, the Cornel 7 case is a red-hot engine of outrage to harness for attention, so of course Bankhead is jumping on the bandwagon with a bizarre mashup of campus rape culture and the Epstein network.

Huh?

Later this week, perhaps tomorrow, I’ll be asking about accountability after reading how Ty Baze–the man of faith running Missoula’s Salvation Army–was falsely accused of possessing child sexual abuse material back in April. How did this happen? Did an investigator, like what Alani Bankhead was doing for the IJM, screw up? And, if so, what is Blaze’s recourse for the time he spent in jail and the damage to his reputation?

Genuine people don’t run from accountability, grifters do, and Alani Bankhead has all the markings of a political grifter who is banking (pun intended) on the mindless tribalism of the misandrist vagina to keep Montana from being competitive for Democrats.

If you appreciate the perspective of a genuinely non-partisan political commentator like myself, please consider donating to my new GoFundMe page. Any little bit helps as I fight the ceaseless lawfare one experiences when they ACTUALLY expose the tentacles of the Epstein Network in Big Sky Country.

Thanks for reading!

Today, chapter 5 of Earth Horse Beats Fire Horse Dead, Dead, Dead, titled Fire Horse Froth, is up at my Substack, so check it out.

I started this week with a post about the malicious prosecution of Brandon Bryant, but, at the time of that post, his trial had yet to occur, so today I’m happy to provide the update that Mr. Bryant was found NOT GUILTY of knowingly making loud, unusual noises by a jury of 7 citizens who took about 5 minutes to arrive at their decision, which brings me to an important question about this case:

HOW MUCH MONEY DID THE CITY OF MISSOULA SPEND PROSECUTING THIS BULLSHIT?

The criminal case I’m facing is still moving forward and, thanks to new evidence, so is the investigation into the theft of my personal property–a Lego sign–which was stolen soon after my arrest in the parking lot of this struggling beer business:

I took an image of my stolen Lego sign and made ANOTHER sign, which I had with me yesterday at the homecoming parade when a woman approached me and asked if I was still missing, smiling and pointing at my mugshot. I explained the context and, when I disclosed the identity of the legislator behind the black duct-taped X, she started laughing.

I won’t retell the anecdote given to me by this woman because, legally, I’m forbidden to write about this public official for 10 years, thanks to the anti-Constitutional ruling by judge Vannatta. Needless to say, that ruling WILL be challenged in the Montana Supreme Court.

Getting my opening brief to court may be more challenging than I anticipated, though, after a strange change in the rules was communicated to me by my pre-trial supervisor, Misty.

Here’s the portion of the email describing a new policy that even the judge in my case hadn’t heard about:

Why do I need to go to the courthouse? Because, I am obligated to send a copy of my opening brief to the opposing side’s counsel, and the civil services of the Sheriff’s Office is how I’ve been meeting this obligation, but if I can’t go to the courthouse, I can’t use their services.

Another big problem is that the exclusion zone around the capitol building in Helena prevents me from going to the clerk’s office of the Montana Supreme Court to file my brief in person, which is an additional barrier adding days AND cost to my dwindling timeline for appeal.

My appeal will be happening in an actual court, which is where the Cornell 7 case should be getting tried, but we all know that it’s the COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION that really matters, and THAT court is influenced by the media, like Gwen Florio, who is getting herself psyched over being relevant again.

For Gwen Florio, a female victim is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than dead niggers, which, of course, is a word a liberal woman would NEVER USE, even if they unintentionally treat them like niggers in their attempt to promote their own work and the work of Missoulian reporters, which I captured in May of 2020, just 4 months after Sean Stevenson was removed from life support BY the Missoula County Sheriff’s Coroner.

It may have taken me 6 years, but my September 2st post, titled “What Does Missoula’s Police Chief, Mike Colyer, Know About The Death Of Sean Stevenson“, is my best effort to date to explain WHY I believe Sean Stevenson was assaulted, then killed by local authorities, and why the nature of Sean’s death is STILL being covered up today.

One of the reasons it has taken me so long to understand the conditions of Sean Stevenson’s death is the side-quest I allowed myself to get pulled into when I published this letter on January 1st, 2023, from someone with a vendetta I didn’t fully understand at the time, since I had recently separated from my wife and was in no shape to white-knight with a professional victim who I discovered was willing to be very manipulative to get results when authorities refused to bring criminal charges, like she was demanding at the time.

Female victims are once again in the national spotlight thanks to national media platforms amplifying CORNEL 7 talking points in a pretty obvious attempt to rally liberal vaginas during the final critical weeks of the midterm elections, invoking that toddler-murdering energy Democrats love–hashtag IAMJANEDOE!!!

Tomorrow, when I write about Alani Bankhead being an actual imposter, it’s not because I want you to vote for Seth Bodnar or Kurt Alme, and it’s not because I’m a misogynist, despite claims to the contrary. It’s because I want EVERYONE reading my words, regardless of their genitalia, to be LESS RETARDED, and I want this because I believe, quite strongly, that a less retarded community will be an incrementally better place for my kids.

While staying focused on local stuff will continue to be my intent, the Cornel 7 “case” does revive Missoula’s role as stand-in for college “rape culture”, as evidenced by our very own Wikipedia page!

So yeah, I think it’s going to be another busy week in Missoula, Montana, but I’m ready and more optimistic than ever that accountability comes for EVERYONE on a long enough timeline when your cause is true.

Today’s post is the first in a recurring series I’ll be featuring on Fridays in support of the Decoding Culture Foundation, run by the PsyOp Cinema guys. With permission I’ll be using a screenshot of a document each week from their archives to highlight the kind of cooperation happening between America’s government and our entertainment industry on films like the one I’ll be discussing today, Contagion.

Not only will today’s post put the REAL people providing their expertise for this film into context, I’ll also be showing how principal advisors, like Ian Lipkin, are explicitly tied to the Epstein network.

Let’s begin.

This email from the Epstein files shows that the social connection between Ian Lipkin and Jeffrey Epstein was a guy named Ellis Rubinstein, but before we get to Rubinstein, let’s see how Ian Lipkin helped Hollywood develop their 2011 pandemic movie, Contagion:

Burns consulted with Larry Brilliant, renowned for his work in eradicating smallpox, to develop an accurate perception of a pandemic event. He had seen one of Brilliant’s TED presentations, which he was fascinated by, and realized that “the point of view of people within that field isn’t ‘If this is going to happen’, it’s ‘When is this going to happen?'” Brilliant introduced Burns to epidemiologist W. Ian Lipkin. With the aid of these physicians, the producers were able to obtain additional perspectives from representatives of the World Health Organization. Burns also met with the author of The Coming Plague, Laurie Garrett. Her 1995 book helped Burns consider a variety of potential plots for the film. He wanted to feature an official from the CDC, and ultimately decided to use an epidemiologist, since that role requires interacting with people while tracking the disease.

Another person we should get a better introduction to before meeting Rubinstein is Dr. Rima Khabazz, who the first document in this post is addressed to. For context, here’s an article where Dr. Khabazz helps bolster the credentials of the CDC’s Dr. Anne Schuchat, described as a 52 year old “Jewish woman” who became the public face of fighting pandemics in 2009:

Wearing her crisp uniform, Dr. Anne Schuchat presents a quiet, unadorned image in her office at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta one cool spring morning. Director of immunization and respiratory diseases for CDC, she is also the assistant surgeon general for the United States Public Health Service.

Career stature aside, this 5-foot-4, 52-year-old Jewish woman with salt-and-pepper hair and green eyes seems anything but intimidating. In fact, colleagues describe her as kind, calm and humble. Which is not to be confused with meek: Dr. Schuchat confidently steps into the limelight when need be. That is ironic for someone who grew up thinking she wanted to become a small-town doctor.

…

Dr. Schuchat’s supervisor, Dr. Rima Khabbaz, CDC’s deputy director for infectious diseases, calls her a great leader. During the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, Dr. Khabbaz says, “She was the face of public health at CDC. She was on the screen in all of our living rooms, reassuring people. She was calm and credible.”

Dr. Schuchat will have an influence on the screen again—this time the silver screen. In Contagion, an action-thriller due out soon, Kate Winslet plays a disease detective battling a global outbreak of a deadly viral illness. While researching her role last winter, the Oscar-winning actor interviewed Dr. Schuchat.

And, of course, we can’t talk about a pandemic movie with mentioning Montana and our Rocky Mountain Laboratory–a NOT well secured facility in the Bitterroot valley, which I wrote about recently.

Here’s portions of the interview from the link above where Montana is referenced:

The characters in the movie are based on real people, the laboratory is modeled after real facilities that exist in places like Montana, but the incubation cycle was unrealistically shortened in order to maximize the “fictional” fear being depicted on screen.

Does this make the emotional manipulation more convincing?

Ellis Rubinstein, the President Emeritus at the New York Academy of Sciences, is an interesting figure, so let’s take some time now to get to know this dude:

Wow, Ellis, you sound AMAZING, almost more like a god than a mere mortal. If billionaires terrified of death want beat that pesky mortality problem, I bet you’re the kind of super-human who will help them achieve it, so see MORE of that AMAZING resume:

It’s really hard for me to understand how the world can be SO FUCKED UP when amazing people with names like RUBINSTEIN are clearly geniuses who work with ONLY the best people.

Like Jeffrey Epstein?

Ok, so this is a bit worrisome, but what else about Ellis Rubinstein’s resume might raise red flags? How about China, AIDS, WEF, and Iran Contra?

Damn, Ellis! Spook vibes for sure!

To wrap up today’s inaugural Decoding Cinema blog post, I gotta give props to Contagion for having a CONSPIRACY BLOGGER try to screw shit up for the noble and heroic scientists with his lies and greed when deceptively suggesting a–GASP!–a homeopathic alternative could work better than the selfless science solution, which NEVER has a profit motive (or worse).

We don’t hate Hollywood enough.

Blogger Alan Krumwiede is quick to pounce on a business venture. That he is dishonest is lamentable. His ruse of having an antidote persuaded many people to skip taking the actual vaccine. Alan’s blog and videos reach a growing audience. Fear fuels a distrust of authorities on the part of the public. As time goes by and the number of deaths escalates, fears erupt into violence. With visions of dollar signs floating inside his head, Alan pretends to have been sick and magically “cured” by something he called Forsythia. You can bet everyone wants to get their hands on it and, so, the money rolls in. Widespread panic is often good for business and this situation was no different.

This blurb was written by Wanda Teays, the “Acting Director of the Bioethics Certificate Program” at Mount Saint Mary’s University, in Los Angeles, and it’s a good example of how cooked we are.

Unless, of course, people WAKE THE FUCK UP and stop believing everything they see on their infernal screens.

Johnny Lee Perry was shot and killed by Sean Evans of Missoula County Sheriff’s Office on August 29th, 2021, but today’s post is less about the LEOs involved in killing Johnny than it is about the guy who drove Johnny out to the Deep Creek area that afternoon, Jack Maxvill.

For those fond of the days when we got to see mugshots (including my own), here’s Jack’s appearance on charges that occurred before Johnny’s death:

Oh LOOKIE THERE, I said to myself upon examining Jack Maxvill’s arrest record, it’s former Detective, GUY BAKER, who is listed as the arresting officer, which I find both interesting and confusing, since MPD stands for Missoula Police Department, and these charges stem from crimes alleged (PDF) to have occurred in Superior, Montana.

Hmmm.

Oh, LOOKIE THERE, I said to myself again upon seeing the name Deputy Funke. I paused, taking a moment to rub my new eyes in case maybe they were hallucinating or something.

Nope.

Seeing that Funke was listed as a Deputy at the time of these original charges told me that the Sheriff serving Mineral County was Mike Toth, which made me think of the County Attorney, Ellen Donohue, and the, ahem, shall I say better working relationship the two offices had?

Since Ellen Donohue is the County Attorney for Powell County now, where Montana’s main prison in Deerlodge is located, I called her office and left a very detailed message of what I was hoping to get from a call back, ensuring I probably won’t get a call back.

If I do, here are some questions Ellen Donohue can anticipate me asking so that she can tell me nothing because CCJI (Confidential Criminal Justice Information).

First question: if Jack Maxvill was on any kind of “supervision” (known on the street as being “on paper”), then WHO was Jack Warren Maxvill’s probation or parole officer?

Second question: is the Mineral County Courthouse bugged? Because I have had TWO people tell me this in the last 48 hours, leading me to believe that the Mineral County Sheriff’s Office really is monitoring activities inside the courthouse.

Third question: if Jack Maxvill was, I would assume, not able to have contact with his daughter, why did he claim to have called HER to communicate HIS concern about Johnny Lee Perry on the day Perry was killed, supposedly compelling her to be the one to call 911, thus setting in motion the events that led to Johnny Lee Perry getting shot in the back and bleeding out in the woods?

For context on the assumption I’m making that Jack Maxvill should NOT have been calling his daughter, here’s another screenshot from the court records:

If I’m mis-remembering how law enforcement was alerted to the alleged risk posed to Jack Warren Maxvill by Johnny Lee Perry, then I’m sure the transcripts of the Coroner’s Inquest are available and easily accessible for the public to peruse, right?

While I haven’t made any recent effort to get the transcripts for this case, I continue to monitor how other people are trying to access public information in Missoula, so, for now, here’s some of the information that was reported about Johnny’s Coroner’s Inquest by local media at the time:

The inquest was the second of two such hearings scheduled in Missoula this week relating to deaths involving city and county law enforcement officers. On Thursday, a separate jury also found that the sheriff’s deputy who shot Johnny Lee Perry II last year did not commit a crime. Deputy Sean Evans, who is white, shot Perry, a 31-year-old Black man, in the back while he ran away from officers. Perry was carrying a machete but had not approached or tried to injure officers, according to vehicle and body camera footage. A toxicology report later found Perry had consumed THC and methamphetamine prior to his death.

During an inquest, the deceased person and their family are not typically represented by an attorney who is allowed to question witnesses. Members of the jury are allowed to ask questions, and members of the public may also ask questions if they are submitted and approved by the presiding coroner.

The description of the Coroner’s Inquest in Montana shows that the family of the victim aren’t represented by legal professionals, nor do they have the ability to ask questions. Maybe that’s because the “Coroner’s Inquest” is an antiquated relic of the past indicating Montana hasn’t evolved its processes for accountability beyond old world pretenses of keeping the King’s property accounted for.

To back up the idea that the Coroner’s Inquest is an antiquated process, here’s what Spokane County says regarding where the inquest process came from originally:

Coroners are an ancient English institution, and Coroner Inquests became outdated centuries ago when the natural and medical sciences had developed to the point of having practical application to death investigations, and began being used in most societies (including Scotland – Scotland never had coroners) outside of England and the sphere of the British Empire/Commonwealth.

Coroners and coroner inquests were not put in place to determine if a death was or was not justified.

Corner inquests were intended to force members of the public to be available to the coroner for questioning (“inquest” means “making an inquiry” – not the holding of a trial), done to serve the interests of the King of England – particularly property interests of the King.

Inquests were always supposed to be about the finding of facts, not the finding of fault.

That last part about facts vs. fault really grinds my gears. How is one to compartmentalize facts from fault? In Johnny Lee Perry’s case, he was ONE man with a knife vs. MANY men with guns, and I watched the entire scenario play out on camera as Justin White, the BIG DOG for the Sheriff’s Office, put his plan to “neutralize” a scrawny black dude into action because a piece of shit like Jack Maxvill had a daughter who claimed Daddy was in trouble call 911.

Yeah, BULLSHIT!

When I spoke with Zoe Tate during the time period of this lethal LEO incident, (which I call an execution for a reason), I got a much better sense of what kind of men are employed by the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office. Five years later, what I’ve learned only reinforces my concerns.

It takes LOTS of bad actors, though, to make things as corrupt as they currently are in western Montana, so let me conclude today’s post with the perspective of Ellen Donohue when she was being freshly interviewed at the beginning of her tenure in Mineral County:

One thing that has surprised Donohue is the high number of felony cases in Mineral County, given the size of the population. There were 92 cases in 2016, compared to 100 in the Anaconda-Deer Lodge area, which boosts a population of nearly 10,000. But, she understands that a number of those cases stem from Interstate 90, which stretches across the county.

There’s a pipeline of illegal drugs that transvers the Inland Northwest, where Interstate 90 sees a large volume of narcotics, though the exact amount is hard to guess.

“I understand Mineral County’s situation, where someone gets pulled over on the freeway and it can quickly turn into a drug case,” she said. “But it appears that there is a lot of well-trained law officials for the drug cases.”

Yes, I’m sure it appeared there were a lot of well-trained law officials managing that “pipeline of illegal drugs” when Ellen first started, because she didn’t know any better, but what would Ellen have to say now? If she calls me back, I’ll definitely let readers know, so stay tuned.

One final article I found from out neighbors in Washington state is from 2010 and details how Montana’s process of reviewing “officer-involved” deaths was being considered as a model to duplicate at the time. My thought?

DON’T DO IT LIKE MONTANA DOES!!!

In Montana, coroner’s inquests are conducted for every fatal police shooting in that state and whenever someone dies in law enforcement custody. The same requirement exists in Nevada, with Las Vegas authorities taking the extra step of televising their inquests. And elsewhere, communities are embracing inquests to help ensure public accountability as the number of officer-involved shootings escalates.

Now, following a rash of fatal police shootings statewide, including four in the past four months in Spokane County, some legislators want to make inquests mandatory in Washington, too. King County typically holds inquests into officer-involved shootings and allows a lawyer for the family of the deceased to participate. Legislation to require inquests for all fatal law enforcement shootings and in-custody deaths in the state is expected to be introduced during the 2011 session.

“This is a quicker, more transparent way to understand what taxpayer-paid servants – public servants – are doing,” said state Sen. Adam Kline, D-Seattle, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and an intended bill sponsor. “These inquests answer what long, drawn-out litigation otherwise would have answered … and when they do it, they speak with authority.”

Well, in Montana, the authorities are corrupt, and no one at the State level is capable of dealing with it.

Prove me wrong, Austin!

If you appreciate my local reporting then please consider donating to my new GoFundMe page. I have a much needed check arriving from north of Missoula soon, sources helping me understand Montana in the west, and good people to the south of Missoula helping me out. I couldn’t keep doing this risky exposing of local corruption without the support.

When Iran burned effigies of Baal recently, it was said to have been a symbolic statement about Western corruption and, more specifically, the dark influence of the Epstein network:

During state-organized rallies marking Iran’s 1979 revolution anniversary, demonstrators in several cities burned large statues of a horned, bull-headed figure identified by organizers as “Baal,” an ancient deity referenced in biblical and Islamic tradition.

The burnings, some reported to have taken place at the same time in different cities, were presented by organizers as a symbolic protest linked to renewed online conspiracy theories surrounding the late financier Jeffrey Epstein and alleged child abuse by Western elites.

While the Wikipedia entries for “Baal” are numerous, the entry about its modern application to the Epstein files indicates how flimsy the reference actually is, since most of the BAAL references in the files aren’t actually referring to a deity, but to a bank account:

On January 30, 2026, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) released a portion of the Epstein files that mention the word “Baal”. Some online claims attach the worship of Baal to satanic rituals and the occult, and link it to allegations involving American financer and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein; however, the released materials provide no clear evidentiary basis for that inference. The appearance is said to be consistent with financial-document field text and, in at least one widely circulated example, appears to be an optical character recognition (OCR) or scanning artifact in which “Bank Name” is misread as “Baal. name”.

Was connecting “Baal” to Jeffrey Epstein a stretch? Or, even worse, was it spreading anti-semitism, like this link suggests?

Instead of stripping the references in the files of its context, I’m going to do the opposite with etymology and the one reference to “Baal” in the Epstein files that is NOT a reference to a bank account.

First, the etymology:

The spelling of the English term “Baal” derives from the Greek Báal (Βάαλ) which appears in the New Testament and Septuagint, and from its Latinized form Baal, which appears in the Vulgate. These forms in turn derive from the vowel-less Northwest Semitic form bʿl (Phoenician and Punic: 𐤁𐤏𐤋). The word’s biblical senses as a Phoenician deity and false gods generally were extended during the Protestant Reformation to denote any idols, icons of the saints, or the Catholic Church generally. In such contexts, it follows the anglicized pronunciation and usually omits any mark between its two As. In close transliteration of the Semitic name, the ayin is represented, as Baʿal.

In the Northwest Semitic languages—Ugaritic, Phoenician, Hebrew, Amorite, and Aramaic—the word baʿal signified “owner” and, by extension, “lord”, a “master”, or “husband”. Cognates include the Akkadian Bēlu (𒂗),[b] Amharic bal (ባል), and Arabic baʿl (بعل). Báʿal (בַּעַל) and baʿl still serve as the words for “husband” in modern Hebrew and Arabic respectively. They also appear in some contexts concerning the ownership of things or possession of traits.

And second, here’s the Epstein file about the Epstein foundation with a reference to an organization that has “Baal” in its name:

The above content shows the impressive influence on American culture from a man with a DEEP appreciation for Jewish philanthropy, like the organization that helps provide FREE housing and medical care, but only for a certain group of people.

And here’s more context on the “Reb Meir Baal Haness charity” and how they help their people:

The concept of Reb Meir Baal Haness dates back to the very first settlers of Eretz Yisroel in the 1500’s. The great mekubalim (kabbalists) of Sephardic Jewry, among them the holy Bais Yosef and the Alshich, ascribed the merit of the holy Tanna, Reb Meir, exclusively to those who support the resettlement of Eretz Yisroel. The Gemara in Avoda Zara relates a fascinating episode, where the great Tanna (sage of the Mishna), Reb Meir, revealed a secret formula for miraculous salvation. As a reward for someone who had done him a personal favor, Reb Meir shared with him that should he ever be faced by any danger he should recite the words “Elaka D’Meir Anaini” – The G-d of Reb Meir please answer me – and he will miraculously be saved. The Gemara goes on to reveal a series of miraculous events invoked by the recital of “Elaka D’Meir Anaini” – hence the name Reb Meir Baal Haness.

In keeping with its mission, Kollel Shomrei Hachomos, Reb Meir Baal Haness was the first to build large-scale free housing units outside the Old City walls. The famous Batei Ungarin complex, with its hundreds of rent-free apartments, provided the nucleus for the development of today’s bustling Meah She’arim neighborhood.

To conclude today’s post, let me anticipate the claims of anti-semitism that always come when a certain group of people are criticized, since no one plays the victim card as expertly as the tiny hats.

To remind Montanans how terrible they were decades ago, the Washington Post ran an op-ed last December about what happened in Billings in the early 90’s so that Jews in 2025 could recall a simpler time period of purer victimhood status:

To my non-Jewish friends asking what they can do about antisemitism: This Sunday and for the next eight days, light a Hanukkah menorah. It’s a small but powerful way to stand shoulder to shoulder with Jewish communities under attack—and it’s a tactic that’s defeated such hate in America before.

In 1993 Billings, Mont., was rocked by antisemitic attacks from white supremacists seeking to establish an Aryan state. They desecrated the Jewish cemetery and made bomb threats against the synagogue. Then they threw a brick through the bedroom window of a 5-year-old Jewish boy, Isaac Schnitzer, aiming for the menorah on the sill.

The police advised his mother, Tammie, to take down her Hanukkah decorations to avoid drawing attention. That didn’t sit well with Tammie. She expressed her concerns to the Billings Gazette, which printed them. How, Tammie asked, could she explain to a child that today in America Jews must hide their menorahs—especially during a holiday celebrating their freedom to worship?

Well, Tammie, just explain to little Isaac that he’ll only be safe when every enemy of the Jewish faith is slaughtered without mercy in a vast sea of blood because that is what a just God would want for His people.

My Montana/Epstein coverage will continue, and it will continue to be the MOST EXTENSIVE coverage of Montana/Epstein connections out there because I don’t stop at what other news sources tell me, I go to the files themselves to find out what’s REALLY going on with the psychopath class and the playground they call Big Sky Country.

If you appreciate my Epstein coverage, which you can find more of with all the links in this post, then please consider donating to my new GoFundMe page. Any little bit helps as I move closer to my own version of Disclosure Day, so stay tuned.

And, as always, thanks for reading.
