For those who don’t know the reference to the dead/alive cat in the title of this post, here’s the Wikipedia breakdown:

In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger’s cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition. In the thought experiment, a hypothetical cat inside a closed box may be considered to be simultaneously both alive and dead while it is unobserved, as a result of its fate being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur. This experiment, viewed this way, is described as a paradox.

The paradox for local reporters tasked with accurately reporting the claims of a candidate like Alani Bankhead is that, absent evidence, it’s very difficult to determine what’s actually true regarding her recent flip-flop, or “pivot”, on whether or not offers were made to drop out of the race.

Here’s how a Lee Enterprises article dances around the fact that Alani Bankhead apparently lied months ago when she denied that any offers were made to get her to drop out of the Senate race:

The Democratic nominee for Montana’s U.S. Senate seat has claimed she was offered a job with the national political party in exchange for dropping out of the race, a major messaging pivot for the candidate who for months has denied receiving such a formal overture.

In an interview aired last week on Montana PBS, Alani Bankhead alleged she was approached with a proposal: exit the Senate race to clear the way for independent candidate Seth Bodnar and she’d land a job with the Democratic National Committee.

“They offered (me) to be … the DNC’s head of female veteran candidates or something like that,” Bankhead said in the segment. “And I was like: ‘Why would I go work for an organization that is actively working against me and stabbing me in the back?’”

What other words have been used instead of LIAR to describe the Bankhead “pivot”? In MTPR’s coverage I found words like “twist” and “bizarre” from the Rob/Sally/Seaborn team analyzing the campaign’s “remarkable reveal” last week:

Perhaps the coy nature of the Bankhead campaign’s last meow comes from a potential investigation that the Attorney General, Austin Knudsen, is threatening to undertake after the “just not relevant” claim from Bankhead hit local media:

“This is extremely concerning,” Knudsen wrote. “If this is true, it appears to be a violation of Montana Code Annotated 13-35-221. My office will be reaching out to @AlaniBankhead, @SethBodnarForMT and @DNC to investigate.”

The section of state law Knudsen cited prohibits anyone from offering someone a payment or anything of value “to refrain from or to cease being a candidate.” The law says a violation of that section is a misdemeanor, and that an attempted violation is itself a violation.

A spokesperson for the Attorney General’s Office declined to comment further on Knudsen’s statement.

Going back to the Sally/Rob/Seaborn MTPR coverage, I think this exchange between Rob and Sally comes closest to calling Alani Bankhead a liar while also reminding voters of who will ultimately benefit (Kurt Alme) from this late October surprise:

Before I get to the last set of claims dropped by a former Bankhead insider spilling the beans about the candidate he worked for, here’s some of the context I’ve assembled since June, when Alani Bankhead refused to play the Democrat political game and bow out like Democrat candidates did in other states:

“What Kind Op Is Alani Bankhead?” (June 16th, 2026)

“The Doomed, Sexist Alani Bankhead Campaign For U.S. Senate” (July 1st, 2026)

“Alani Bankhead’s Strategy Shifts From Anti-Epstein LARP To Playing The Female Victim Card” (August 12th, 2026)

“It’s Not A “Syndrome” If You’re An Actual Imposter” (October 5th, 2026)

With all this context in mind, including my strong suspicion that Alani Bankhead is a covert Christian Conservative who never intended to win this race, here’s what an insider is saying about the candidate he was working for, emphasis on was:

While this depiction of Bankhead’s behavior around the time that the PAC money dropped is bad, it’s the idea that Bankhead thinks there’s an “underground army” of sex abuse victims in her corner that really bothers me.

The problem of NOT getting paid also bothered this political operative, along with Alani Bankhead apparently NOT giving a shit that an abusive foreign nation–which protects pedophiles and meddles in America’s political campaigns–is busy enacting a religious genocide against poor brown people.

My only beef with this guy is the idea that Democrats “deserve to know” anything about the reality they ignore in order to avoid cognitive dissonance so they can keep voting, because they don’t.

What Democrats deserve from this political cycle is a loss so obvious and embarrassing that it breaks the back of “identity” politics for good and ends the cynical manipulation that seduces well-meaning people into being bamboozled by factors, like GENITALIA and SKIN COLOR, as compelling characteristics worth prioritizing in a candidate over other factors, like asking the question “is this candidate a LIAR who LIES without regard for reality?”

The other option for Democrats who don’t want to acknowledge what’s going to happen on November 3rd is this: just continue ignoring consensus reality and FULLY EMBRACE the Schrödinger-like power of female candidates, like Alani Bankhead, because their biological evolution has bestowed a truly wondrous power upon them called “female solipsism”.

Here’s how it works:

While the controlled demolition of civil society continues along its ordained path (the socially-engineered one designed by the psychopath class) I hope enlightening content, like the video above, can help targeted victims of lawfare depersonalize the legal process of personal destruction because this legal lawfare process has absolutely produced casualties, like Aaron Swartz, who I wrote about two years ago as the information platform he co-created, Reddit, featured commentary on ME and my Lego story telling chops.

One final note before concluding today’s post: criticizing Alani Bankhead is NOT an endorsement of her opponents, who I will NOT be voting for, since I will be casting ZERO votes this election cycle. Until lawfare is properly defined, acknowledged as a serious problem, and people with resources start fighting back against this tactic, I believe the FIRST AMENDMENT in this country is effectively DEAD, which the prosecution of me for being on campus on June 15th to cover the Alani Bankhead press release effectively proves.

If only I was one of those COOL citizen journalists, like Nick Shirley or Roseanne Barr, maybe I’d be getting more financial help for sacrificing my freedom in order to expose corruption in this retarded CIA retirement town.

But I’m not, so donate here if you can.

Thanks for reading!

I started watching the show Silicon Valley last week as the internet got hacked in a days long global assault that’s being called “Black October”. Since this show about technology innovation has a “LaVeyan” Satanist as one of the main characters–and since I found some curious references to Satan and Lucifer in the Epstein files–I figured today would be the PERFECT day to add some context to how drastically our world is going to be changing now.

The Church of Satan was established in San Francisco on April 30th, 1966, by Anton LaVey, and the first mistake people make when thinking about organized Satanism is assuming that all Satanists believe in Satan when, in reality, they believe in themselves and power of human potential.

LaVeyan Satanism has been classified as a new religious movement and a form of Western esotericism by scholars of religion. LaVey’s ideas have been said to weave together an array of sometimes “contradictory” “thinkers and tropes”, combining “humanism, hedonism, aspects of pop psychology and the human potential movement”, along with “a lot of showmanship”, His ideas were heavily influenced by the ideas and writings of Friedrich Nietzsche, Ayn Rand and Arthur Desmond.

Contrary to the popular image of Satanism as the worship of an evil supernatural entity, LaVeyan adherents do not consider Satan to be a literal being or entity, but a positive archetype representing humanity’s natural instincts of pride and carnality, and of defiance against Abrahamic religions which preach suppression of these urges. The church considers humans to be animals existing in an amoral universe, and promotes a philosophy based on individualism and egoism, coupled with social Darwinism and anti-egalitarianism. LaVey valued success, not “evil for its own sake”.

The LaVeyan Satanist in the show, Bertram Gilfoyle, attends a cheesy meeting with his dark brethren in season 1, names his garage-built server farm “Anton” in season 2, and peppers plenty of jabs at Jesus and Christians throughout what I’ve seen of this comedic depiction of the tech-nerds changing our culture and bringing about an Apocalypse of lost control over the entire internet during the last 10 days.

In searching the online environment for articles about this Silicon Satan phenomenon I found this article that highlights an important quote from Arthur C. Clarke at the beginning that I think we should consider as we plunge toward the final week of October:

The British science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke, author of 2001: A Space Odyssey, proposed a “law of science” in 1968: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”

Clarke’s proposition had a quality of rightness, of stating the obvious with sparkling clarity, that propelled it into dictionaries of quotations. The timing was perfect: Concorde would soon be flying over rock festivals packed with hippies obsessed with “magick.” Naturally Clarke’s readers understood the difference between aerodynamics and sky gods. But African tribesmen gawping at an early airplane, or Pacific Islanders watching an atomic explosion, could only conclude that they were witnessing a supernatural event: for them, a scientific explanation was literally inconceivable. And one day scientists might perform feats so incredible that even educated westerners would fall back on religion or the occult.

Further down we find this description of the occult potpourri that’s inspiring these people transforming our world through technology:

Further down the food chain, technology, old-style magic and apocalyptic prophecies are combining in chaotic patterns. The number of self-identifying witches in the United States has now overtaken the number of Presbyterians, and almost all of them employ digital tools to refine their magic. They use ChatGPT and other large language models to write spells tailored to rival traditions.

These include Wicca, a pantomime of covens and pentacles invented in the 1940s by the retired English civil servant Gerald Gardner; Astral Magery, whose mathematical formulae are supposed to harness primordial forces; and Chaos Magic, a pop-flavored postmodern take on the occult that treats beliefs as mere tools for releasing psychic energy. Then there are versions of Shamanism, Voodoo and Santeria adopted by liberal western neo-pagans who need a magic formula to banish suspicions of ‘cultural appropriation’.

That’s where AI comes in handy. “Sometimes we don’t know what to say and need a little inspiration,” explains Dave Linabury, a veteran occult blogger and illustrator from Detroit known as “Davezilla.” ChatGPT will craft an incantation in the style of a Yoruba magician or the British occultist and sex guru Aleister Crowley, while AI will conjure up a Wiccan goddess. It’s the illustrations, incidentally, that sow discord among today’s witches: occult “content creators” are always accusing each other of infringing copyright or using AI to fake magical images.

It’s cute thinking of concepts like “copyright” amidst AI agents effectively ending the internet as we know it, with few outside the figurative panic zone even understanding what we’re in the middle of, like how these real-life Agent Smiths are already infiltrating banks.

Here’s Reuters reporting on this alarming escalation a few days ago:

Major US banks have been blocking third-party AI agents from operating inside customer accounts and making transactions, two people familiar with the situation said, following a report that ​AI agents were accessing bank accounts and taking actions independent of ‌user instructions.

The banking industry has become increasingly concerned that sophisticated AI agents could harm the banking system and the institutions trusted to hold people’s wealth.

An Axios report on Thursday said some AI agents attempted to ​take actions that appeared to be independent of user instructions, citing people ​familiar with the matter.

In some cases, bank customers have shared their ⁠login ID and password with agents, with banks typically flagging and blocking those transactions, ​a person in the banking industry said. Still, such transactions cannot be deemed unauthorized ​if credentials were shared by the customer.

With all these rapid changes happening from the technology impacting our lives in ways we can’t appreciate yet (or easily defend ourselves from), I decided to see what Epstein and his class of cultural influencers thought about the Satanic archetype by putting in the word SATAN and LUCIFER to see what I could find.

Here’s some of what I found:

Another cute story about Satan I found in the Epstein files came from Amy Sacco, a club owner in New York who attracted ALL the cool people back in the day, even Bill Clinton was seen at her club!

Isn’t that interesting?

So, what kind of story about Satan would Amy Sacco send to Jeffrey Epstein in 2002, the year after 9/11 and one year before the war in Iraq was launched?

Judge for yourself:

I put extra emphasis on the year this email was sent because 2002 was also the year of the infamous Vicky Ward article in New York Magazine, titled “Jeffrey Epstein: International Man of Mystery”, which intermingled Donald Trump’s opinion on Epstein with the growing awareness that former president, Bill Clinton, was enjoying the company of this “mystery” man.

If you have never read this 24 year old article, I think now would be a good time for a refresher:

While Epstein got an intellectual kick out of engaging African finance ministers in theoretical chitchat about economic development, the real payoff for him was observing Clinton in his métier: talking HIV/aids policy with African leaders and soaking up the love from Cape Town to Lagos.

Epstein brings a trophy-hunter’s zeal to his collection of scientists and politicians. But the real charge for him is in seeing these guys work it. Like former Democratic Senate leader George Mitchell, for example. In Epstein’s mind, Mitchell is the world’s greatest negotiator, based on his work in Ireland and the Middle East. So he wrote the senator a bunch of checks. Says Mitchell: “He has supported some philanthropic projects of mine and organized a fund-raiser for me once. I would certainly call him a friend and a supporter.”

But it is his covey of scientists that inspires Epstein’s true rapture. Epstein spends $20 million a year on them — encouraging them to engage in whatever kind of cutting-edge research might attract their fancy. They are, of course, quite lavish in their praise in return. Gerald Edelman won the Nobel Prize for physiology and medicine in 1972 and now presides over the Neurosciences Institute in La Jolla. “Jeff is extraordinary in his ability to pick up on quantitative relations,” says Edelman. “He came to see us recently. He is concerned with this basic question: Is it true that the brain is not a computer? He is very quick.”

I know it’s more salacious to focus on what happens with penises and vaginas when it comes to being horrified at the criminal exploitations of the Epstein Network, but it’s THE BRAIN we should be using OUR BRAINS to think about, since it takes A LOT of cranial scheming to scale up Kompromat across so many critical sectors of our interconnected world.

Going back to the “fiction” of Silicon Valley, the underlying narrative of the show features the struggle between corporate giant, Hooli, and the scrappy upstart, Pied Piper, which is named after a “classic” fairy tale.

For an illuminating scrap of dialogue, check out this exchange between the CEO nerd, his dedicated follower, and the LaVeyan Satanist:

What this tech company actually does is data compression, or making data files smaller, so in a later episode their tech-chops are tested by going head-to-head with another compression algorithm to compress porn content.

For a quick history lesson from Silicon Valley, here’s the dialogue framing the financial largesse of the porn site they’re competing to work for:

Erlich, the hedonist, makes a joke about his excessive use of pornography in a similar vein to Gilfoyle making a joke about the part of the Pied Piper fairy tale that most non-psychopath humans are rightfully repulsed by, which is, obviously, the part about killing children.

Pulling back the lens from the influence of depravity and occult fuckery emanating from the centers of tech-innovation, I will still concede that technology is a tool that still might have some redeeming applications to improve the human condition, but that won’t be allowed to happen if a literal psychopath class remains at the top of the social-engineering pyramid, trickling down manipulation and deceit to every screen in every human home.

And now, with the plausible deniability of autonomous AI agents infiltrating the most sensitive types of data that exists–the pretend money that obtains our real material goods–it might be a good time to reflect on the alleged intelligence of our innovators and WHO (or what) they might be innovating FOR.

One final exchange of messages I found odd in the Epstein Files mentions Trump by name. If I was prone to partisanship, maybe I’d try ignoring this weirdness, but I’m not, so I won’t.

If you want to better understand the context of this reference to (I’m assuming) someone human who is jokingly being referred to as Lucifer, just go to the Epstein DOJ site yourself and do what anyone can do.

As someone who has been digging around this archive for months, I’m less inclined to scream RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES, like some people have been doing, because what is ALREADY out there is damning enough, it just needs to be contextualized and amplified so people understand how far gone this country already is.

Thanks for reading!

Long before movies transmitted information, and before even the printing press existed, news was spread by word of mouth. Here’s a bit of context from Wikipedia:

Before the printing press was invented, word of mouth was the primary source of news. Returning merchants, sailors, and travelers brought news back to the mainland, and this was then picked up by pedlars and traveling players and spread from town to town. Ancient scribes often wrote this information down. This transmission of news was highly unreliable and died out with the invention of the printing press. Newspapers (and to a lesser extent, magazines) have always been the primary medium of journalists since the 18th century, radio and television in the 20th century, and the Internet in the 21st century.

Continuing along the historical timeline, a period of “news” reporting at the end of the 19th century, called “Yellow Journalism“, featured circulation battles between the heavy hitters of information dissemination at the time, like Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearts:

Joseph Pulitzer purchased the New York World in 1883 and told his editors to use sensationalism, crusades against corruption, and lavish use of illustrations to boost circulation. William Randolph Hearst then purchased the rival New York Journal in 1895. They engaged in an intense circulation war, at a time when most men bought one copy every day from rival street vendors shouting their paper’s headlines. The term “yellow journalism” originated from the innovative popular “Yellow Kid” comic strip that was published first in the World and later in the Journal.

This type of reporting was characterized by exaggerated headlines, unverified claims, partisan agendas, and a focus on topics like crime, scandal, sports, and violence. Historians have debated whether yellow journalism played a large role in inflaming public opinion about Spain’s atrocities in Cuba at the time, and perhaps pushing the U.S. into the Spanish-American War of 1898.

The possibility of “inflaming public opinion” with newspapers and periodicals seems to be lurking around the document I’m highlighting today, brought to you by the Decoding Culture Foundation and PsyOp Cinema.

Considering how the phenomenon of “Gonzo Journalism” erupted from persona of Hunter S. Thompson, the focus of this file on what Hunter S. Thompson is reading is more than a bit ironic:

This document, dated February 3rd, 1971, was created about a year after the first appearance of “Gonzo” was said to have appeared. For those unfamiliar with this style of journalism, here’s what Wikipedia has to say about it:

Gonzo journalism is a style of journalism that is written without claims of objectivity, often including the reporter as part of the story using a first-person narrative. The word “gonzo” is believed to have been first used in 1970 to describe an article about the Kentucky Derby by Hunter S. Thompson, who popularized the style. It is an energetic first-person participatory writing style in which the author is a protagonist, and it draws its power from a combination of social critique and self-satire. It has since been applied to other subjective artistic endeavors.

Like most of the “counter-culture” figures I once admired, Hunter S. Thompson’s influence on “journalism” now appears much more problematic to me than it did when Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas came out in 1998 (the year I graduated high school and met my future ex-wife), but it was actually a movie from 1980 about Hunter S. Thompson that first put his writing on my radar.

Where the Buffalo Roam is a 1980 American semi-biographical comedy film which loosely depicts author Hunter S. Thompson’s rise to fame in the 1970s and his relationship with Chicano attorney and activist Oscar “Zeta” Acosta. The film was produced and directed by Art Linson.

While Art Linson only directed two movies, his executive producer work is what gave me my first connection to Missoula, where filming for Taylor Sheridan’s horsey porn show, Yellowstone, took place, which I wrote about extensively at the time, like this post documenting how a pissed off neighbor in the University Districted outed the ending of this obnoxious production that locals did NOT appreciate (more links at the post help make my case).

For context on Linson’s work with Taylor Sheridan, plus his involvement on the movie Into The Wild, which is based on the book by Jon Krakauer, who wrote his book about Missoula’s campus rape culture, here’s an excerpt from his bio:

Art Linson has produced movies in every decade since the seventies including Fight Club, Heat, The Untouchables, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Into the Wild, and Melvin and Howard.

Linson was an executive producer on the long-running FX television series Sons of Anarchy (2008–2014), as well as Yellowstone, starring Kevin Costner. Yellowstone premiered on June 20, 2018, on the Paramount Network. Yellowstone has become the most popular scripted series in television. Linson is also an executive producer on the TV series 1883 and 1923.

It’s not just the Art Linson connection that connects Hunter S. Thompson to Big Sky Country. When I searched for more direct connections I found a Montana band that Thompson wrote liner notes for in 1960, and a visit to the University of Montana in 1976 that led to some interesting lore I’ll expound on after all the screenshots.

Here they are:

The story that Thompson scrawled DEATH TO THE WEIRD at Luke’s in Missoula does seem to be legit, since multiple people recollect it, and the word “weird” was said to have been purposely misspelled WIERD by Thompson.

From my vantage point the use of the word “weird”, along with Thompson’s proclamation of death to it in Missoula, almost feels like a prophecy. For context on this “weird” interpretation, here’s a post from July 30th, 2024, where I openly wondered why everyone was suddenly using the word WEIRD to describe JD Vance, who will be returning to Montana soon.

If that isn’t weird enough for you, the two-year old post also provides the history of how “KEEP MISSOULA WEIRD” was actually taken from a phrase describing Austin, Texas (a spot I’ve had several recent references to in the last few days).

Yeah, weird.

The Art Linson connection to Taylor Sheridan and Jon Krakauer is very interesting to me, and one that I’ll have more to say about soon, since the BIG TIME director, Denis Villeneuve, is one I’m helping PsyOp Cinema decode in a series of upcoming podcast episodes, so stay tuned!

I almost forgot to conclude today’s post with a few images of a rare and costly Rolling Stone publication I invested in during my travels a few years ago, which took me all around the country. Here they are:

Thanks for reading!

On Wednesday Gwen Jones kicked off her Domestic Violence Forum because men are murdering women and it’s a real nightmare. But don’t worry, ladies, Gwen Jones wants to curate FACTS and AWARENESS on this “Community Issue”, so she’s talking to legislators and they will be “leaning in” on legislating domestic violence during the upcoming legislative session.

Hmmm.

In the propaganda rag run by Martin Kidston, the Missoual Current, Marty echoed the intent to “curate” testimony on domestic violence, but then omitted something very telling.

With domestic violence on the rise, members of the Missoula City Council and a range of community experts took a deep dive into the issue on Wednesday, from the psychology that drives it to the struggles faced by survivors.

The forum, organized by council member Gwen Jones, looks to raise awareness and curate testimony in hopes of legislative action early next year.

“It’s a huge issue and something we should be talking about,” said Jones. “If people can find out where to get help when they are experiencing harm, that’s a good thing.”

Jones cited a number of high-profile domestic violence incidents that unfolded nationally this year in a single month. In April, former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax shot his wife, then himself. In Louisiana, Shamar Elkins killed his wife, her friend and eight children.

A recent national survey found that 34% of women and 17% of men have experienced some form of violence at the hands of an intimate partner in their lifetime. In Montana, the statistics are higher, reaching 38% of women and 24% of men.

What did Martin Kidston strategically omit in this excerpt? Well, when you listen to the SECOND clip from Gwen Jones’ introduction to this “community issue”, Kidston forgot to include the statistic that SAME SEX couples are experiencing HIGHER RATES of domestic violence, with the number cited by Gwen Jones for transexual relationships nearing 50%.

I guess this statistic doesn’t help the misandrist MAN HATERS who are clearly driving this agenda for political purposes.

When I hear “curated” examples that only highlight male violence toward women, then see in a local media rag the omission that hides this same type of violence between same sex couples, I have a pretty good idea what’s coming, and who will be involved.

One person who did NOT involve herself in this performance yesterday at the Committee of the Whole was Kristen Jordan, a notorious no-show to her Council job and a person I was eager to hear from, since Kristen Jordan seems VERY INVESTED in identifying potentially sexually abusive males who make politically connected women in Missoula feel the kind of feelings that can quickly become civil legal action.

I consider this depiction of me to be criminal defamation, since it’s COMPLETELY UNTRUE, but I think we all know truth no longer matters to legal processes, so that’s why I’ve continued advocating for myself after leaving this toxic relationship three years ago where it was ME who was AND IS being stalked by seriously troubled individuals (yes, plural).

In the Cornell 7 case, where a woman got disinvited to a Halloween party and decided to go scorched earth on as many men as she could get vengeance on, the latest revelation is that, WHOOPSIE, she mis-identified the frat president, so his name has been dropped from the lawsuit.

The “Cornell 7” Jane Doe dropped a man from her lawsuit whom she wrongly identified as president of the school’s Chi Phi fraternity — whose members she claims gang raped her.

Doe, who has accused seven Chi Phi brothers of sexually assaulting her at a party in October 2024, initially named Orazio Petito in her civil lawsuit, which she filed last month.

Petito, who was mistakenly identified as the chapter’s president, was not accused of sexual assault.

In another case of a woman making life-ruining claims that didn’t pan out how she intended, an MIT professor just got a handsome payout for the hell this lawfare-wielding woman put him through.

6 million sounds like a totally reasonable sum of money to pay this man in what will inevitably be part of an emerging #HeToo counter-movement (it should be noted this man had to deal with this for FIVE YEARS before winning in court):

A former Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) scientist won a legal victory this week after losing his position following sexual misconduct allegations made by a female colleague.

Dr. David Sabatini, a former MIT biology professor and prominent biomedical researcher, was awarded $6 million in damages Friday after a jury found that his former colleague, Dr. Kristin Knouse, had defamed him.

At the time of the allegations, Sabatini had led a research lab at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for approximately 24 years.

Returning to Montana, I’m very glad Gwen Jones confirmed my suspicion that violent gay couples are being statistically considered, since my article on the ombudsman bill being worked on gave me some insights into how the VERY HIGH incarceration rates for WOMEN is part of this pre-legislation narrative framing coming from some sus people, like Cat and Zooey.

When I connected this legislative effort to the astroturf non-profit, Catalyst Montana, the women who allegedly want to help incarcerated men and women get enough protein in jail got a little nervous.

Since I’m now being blocked by the “conservative” who doesn’t like liberal cult members unless they’re using her for their legislative agenda, I think now would be a good time to show my attempt to reach out to “406 Revolutionized” about the ombudsman bill, since reaching out to Amanda McKnight caused Cat Holley to call me on my phone and berate me for making her new liberal friends a little worried about my scrutiny.

If Cat Holley wants to play legislative games with Catalyst Montana for the Republicans she’s working for, like Austin Knudsen, fine, but calling my writing “unhinged” after blocking me is all I need to know about this political foot soldier and her goals for her adopted state, and how much they DO NOT ALIGN with my hyper-local efforts to expose of local corruption, regardless of the political parties involved.

I know accountability is a scary thing for women in power, but just imagine if Gwen Jones had been a man when she abused her board position at Missoula Aging Services to verbally abuse me for writing a poem, an act the HR department required her to write me an apology letter for in order to keep me from suing my then-employer:

Nope, still not interested in this apology, because I’m not done exposing how power is being abused in this town as “domestic violence” gets political attention from manipulative local power brokers desperate to avoid the scrutiny they know is coming.

Thanks for reading!

While it might seem unfair to call a female firefighter a “cultural arsonist” for figuratively torching what she can’t have, I’m appreciative that Tara Walker is doing what she’s doing to the awful men who made her time at the Hamilton Rural Fire Department so very bad by doing things like not sitting next to her at a training, or not backing her up when an angry wife said something mean to her.

Walker’s elation was short-lived. She said that at the very first training she attended, everyone was sitting as far away from her as possible.

“I could tell that I was not going to be welcomed into the department like other firefighters were,” said Walker.

But she started training, working really hard. “They saw that I could do the job,” she said.

Then, last summer at an appreciation dinner, Walker said one of the firefighters’ wives verbally harassed her. She reported it to the fire chief, and she says the incident was turned around on her.

“That’s when I learned they did not have my back… They were more concerned about their image.”

Another serious issue occurred for Tara Walker when the “team” photo became a collage of individual photos because the men, she claims, didn’t want to be near her, perhaps worrying the proximity to a professional victim could put them in legal jeopardy.

Among other things, the new complaint, which was submitted on April 2, 2026, mentions an incident regarding a department photo. This time, all the firefighter photos were taken individually and then put together into a collage format. The finished photo product is dark, and it’s hard to make everyone out. Walker alleges that this was done because the other men did not want to stand with her for a group photo or even be seen with her.

Woods disputes Walker’s claim that the annual photo was planned in a way to minimize her membership on the force.

“We usually try to do a group photo,” said Woods. “But there was no planning made. The night of the photo was windy and rainy, so we had to move inside. It had nothing to do with her.

Actually, when it comes to women like Tara Walker–who leveraged her status as a sexual abuse victim in order to get legislation passed–EVERYTHING that occurs in their orbit is about them and, when there’s a problem, it’s ONLY because of how awesome they are, which, of course, makes everyone else around them jealous.

“I have not shared anything about this for a year… I’ve been so conservative with information over the last year, I’ve just kept my mouth shut about everything, just because I wanted to gain their trust and be part of the department, but now I just want everyone to see what I’ve gone through, what I’ve endured,” said Walker. “I think one of the main reasons they didn’t want me on the department is because they saw I’m someone people listen to when I speak, and that’s probably one of the reasons why I was a danger to their scheme. This is a conscious effort. They’ve been keeping women off the department this whole time. If we don’t change things, they’re going to continue to do so.”

Although I’ve never been a firefighter, I’m pretty sure the skill of charismatic talking isn’t a firefighting characteristic that’s as valued as, say, being able to PHYSICALLY do a very PHYSICALLY DEMANDING job.

Another aspect of being a first responder is the immense psychological impact that exists from putting your own life at risk in order to assist people in crisis situations, so having a person on your team who undermines team cohesion is a SERIOUS RISK, which might have been a contributing factor in the confrontation Tara had with a firefighter’s wife.

In contrast, when confronted with a comment in the comment section of the newspaper article Walker got printed about her noble struggle for all the women out there clamoring to be firefighters, Tara Walker did herself NO FAVORS by engaging with the commenter, who appears to be the Father of her two kids.

If this was all there was to Tara Walker’s series of complaints, then I probably wouldn’t have allowed the Facebook algorithm to lure me into commenting on this rage-bait, but reading through her Google Docs filing (PDF) I found something that made this girl-boss bullshit worth my time, and that’s the role of Lexipol in developing Hamilton’s “Policy 005”:

When I went looking for information about Lexipol and this company’s impact on developing policies for law enforcement I found a Mother Jones article from six years ago, when the country was pretty busy learning how important “policies” could be with regards to that little pandemic we had.

Amidst that confusion, a cop shot and killed a black man who was dangling from a window because he looked aggressive and the cop lied about a gun.

Turns out, this police department has, as its official policy, the ability to kill aggressive black men, even IF they’re dangling from a motel window!

Early one morning in June 2015, after Kris Jackson had been fighting loudly with his girlfriend, a police officer knocked on the door to their motel room a few blocks from California’s Lake Tahoe. Jackson, a Black 22-year-old who was on probation for a drug offense, did not stick around to deal with the cops. Wearing only a pair of shorts, he hoisted himself partway out of the bathroom window into the cool, dark air of the motel’s back alley. That’s when another officer, Joshua Klinge, rounded the corner of the building, spotted Jackson hanging out the window, and shot him from several feet away. Klinge later claimed that Jackson looked “aggressive” and had a gun. No gun was found. Jackson died at the hospital a few hours later.

As in the majority of police killings, the local district attorney did not charge Klinge, who was placed on paid leave before being allowed to retire quietly. Jackson’s parents filed a federal lawsuit against the officer, several police department staff, and the city of South Lake Tahoe, arguing that not only had Klinge used excessive force against their son, but that the police department had an illegal policy allowing him to do so. That policy, written by a company called Lexipol, stated that officers could use deadly force to protect themselves or others from any “imminent” threat of serious injury or death. An “imminent” threat, the policy explained, was broader than an “immediate” threat such as someone pointing a gun. It included any situation in which a “reasonable officer” would believe a suspect had a weapon and intended to use it.

Closer to home–and just two months after Tara Walker filed her Federal discrimination tantrum–the female victimhood mentality combined with the “reasonable officer” standard to kill, as a matter of policy, Ross Robertson, who was in a mental health crisis at the time.

Despite KNOWING the mental health history of the REAL victim here (the dead white guy), Matt Jennings led a performative Coroner’s Inquest where he joked about body weight and allowed the SCARED WOMAN rationale to set-up the justifiable death narrative these “public safety” officers will ALWAYS hide behind when they kill one of us.

One of the CORE POLICIES that makes America so kick-ass is the FIRST and, I would argue, the BEST amendment of the Constitution, which I’ll post in case the hate-readers reading this forgot what it says:

Who might need to hear this? Oh, I don’t know, maybe a Montana lawyer/legislator who supported legislation last year to STOP allegedly “frivolous” lawsuits regarding those First Amendment rights:

A bipartisan effort to prevent frivolous lawsuits regarding 1st Amendment rights continues moving through the legislature with no opposition.

After clearing the House unanimously in mid-February, House Bill 292, known as the Establish the Uniform Public Expression Protection Act, passed the Senate Judiciary Committee 8-0 less than an hour after its hearing.

State Reps. Tom Millett (R-Marion) and James Reavis (D-Billings) are both sponsoring the bill.

What could this mean? I don’t know, I’m not a lawyer, but it sounds like there’s also a legislation mill that reproduces legislation from state to state just like Lexipol reproduces its copyrighted “policies” from town to town.

Hmmm.

It is considered Anti-SLAPP legislation, and mirrors what seven other states have already put into law and a handful of others are actively considering, which the sponsors say is a safeguard to protect Montanans against meritless lawsuits that are used to silence critics.

Silencing critics? Wow, there’s a RICH IRONY in this statement, but it’s not one I’m legally able to expound on.

Yet.

Thanks for reading!
