I watched the latest upload from Jedidiah Gordon Schulz and my heart breaks for him because not seeing your child is hell for a father who wants to be a father. Being in a situation where the frequency of my own interactions with my kids has changed, I can appreciate how little fucks one can give for the pain a bullet might inflict.
Here’s the latest video:
If you watch the video, you might surmise, like I did, that Jedidiah isn’t fucking around, and that engaging with him is going to result in more casualties than just his.
Is this a recipe for a successful run for Montana State Representative?
My Name is Jedidiah Gordon Schulz and I’m Running for Montana State Representative. I came to this decision after a corrupt Mineral County MT sheriff department tried to murder me on orders from their Chinese handlers, after surviving the attempted hit in which even Missoula SWAT nearly became involved, it gave my life renewed purpose and shed more light on how massive the Chinese in-cell invasion really is and also how corrupt my home state has become, from Mineral County to Missoula, Broadwater, Sweetgrass and certainly other Montana Counties, We the People Of Montana must take the power back while we have this momentum in our favor. A true law abiding USA Native born and raised in Arlee Montana, when I’m elected I promise to go after the damned Californians who piss on our values and the Chinese who wage war on our people with drugs and shitty consumer goods. I will govern according to only the Constitution of the USA and nothing else besides the Snipers Code of Honor
In the video, Jedidiah talks about a brief stint in jail in San Bernardino. There’s also another video, coming soon, that will further address the “character assassination” he anticipates is coming.
In a seeming attempt to be VERY open about who he is, Jedidiah shares his Social Security number AND license plate information on the Tesla he’s driving, which he describes in great tactical (and alarming) detail.
Did I mention that where this is all going is NOT good?
Well-armed, seemingly well-trained, and nothing left to lose. Not a good combination.
Another father I’ve been thinking about just popped back up on the jail roster with a felony burglary charge, booked just a few hours before I sat down to write this.
Shane recently told me he can’t locate his kid in the system, and he thinks the kid is being trafficked. He also said some other stuff that causes me a lot of concern about what’s happening to him.
I’m incredibly worried about where this is all going, but really not sure what exactly is happening at the same time, so I’m going to be cautious and do my best to keep an eye on this as a much as possible, considering all the other stuff I have going on.
Thank you to the person who put this on my radar, and who is also trying to see the angles of what might be happening. It’s very much appreciated.

This week is a very serious review because things in Zoom Town have gotten quite serious for me, considering the legal cloud now hovering over me and everything rattling around in my head that I CAN’T write about right now. That’s why the tentative title to the poem/song at the end of this week’s episode is called Dead Man’s Switch.
Did you know a petitioner of an order of protection is NOT LIMITED in what they can do when it comes to contacting the RESPONDENT, or family members of the respondent, of a protective order enacted by our “objective” courts?
What this means for me is that everything I’m writing right now is being very closely scrutinized by someone who is worried about what I know, and if things veer to close to this persons discomfort zone (which is the world), then a family member of mine just might get another text like this one:
Everything I have tried to do to defend MY name through this criminal justice system has been shot down, so I guess it doesn’t matter that the petitioner knew the judge, and that I didn’t have legal representation and begged for a postponement, or that NO lawyer in this region so far can take my case, which comes with a 30 day deadline to challenge the order placed over me for an ENTIRE YEAR.
What do I know that’s so threatening? That’s for another post, which I will schedule to publish sometime at the beginning of next year. This will only happen if I cannot UN-schedule the post, and THAT will only happen if I’m incapacitated in some way.
I’m not just being dramatic for effect. The Mineral County Sheriff’s Office standoff, documented by one of the ballsiest motherfuckers I’ve ever seen, highlights how rising crime from the drug war being waged against us is raising the tension-level for EVERYONE.
Look closely at this image. Is the Sheriff Deputy really holding his handgun gangsta style?
If you don’t know what “gangsta style” means in this context, here’s another image that better exemplifies how Hollywood wants you to think urban gunslingers use their firearms.
This image of Hollywood thug programming is more than appropriate, considering the book I read from for this week is John Potash’s Drugs As Weapons Against Us. This is a must-read for anyone who wants a more solid foundation for understanding our current National predicament.
These last few weeks have been a dark nadir for me, and I’m really hoping things bottom-out and stabilize soon. I deeply appreciate those who know what I’ve been going through and the support they’ve offered, like “TC”, who outed himself this week to verify a firefighter with an impressive local track record of kicking ass has stepped up to safely secure my bang-bangs for me.
While my status as “husband” will be officially over soon, my status as “father” will NEVER end because my love for my kids is fierce and eternal. That’s why I’m going to do what it takes to get myself to a better place.
Now, with all that said, here’s the list of links comprising the week’s content at Zoom Chron. And below that, the ways to financially support my calling to expose the corruption in this beautifully terrible town.
To support my efforts, please consider directing some inflating US dollars to Travis’ Impact Fund (TIF), or using the donation button at my about page.
First, I think it’s important to say GOOD JOB to the Mineral County Sheriff’s Office for doing something I have never seen done before, and that’s admit they were wrong IN REAL TIME to deescalate what they unnecessarily escalated in the first place.
Sure, it would be easy to just bash them for the insanity of what you’re about see, but I think the fact this man, who stood his ground under intense pressure and was NOT shot and killed, is evidence that the scrutiny Mineral County has been under with the hammer of Mandamus has had some kind of an effect.
Now, here are the videos, totaling close to an hour of standoff footage. I suggest watching ALL of it.
I am publicizing this standoff ASAP because the man who was targeted is still very worried about his safety. I know this because I spoke briefly with a family member this morning, and the man is essentially in hiding and worried that he’s being “hunted”. I think that’s entirely possible.
The family member I spoke to did NOT like the idea of talking to a journalist from Missoula at first, expressing immediate uncertainty that I could be trusted. My response? Good, you CANNOT just trust people because you HOPE they’re trustworthy–you gotta verify that shit–so that’s what I would expect a worried parent will do as he’s hoping law enforcement isn’t going to find and kill his son.
Why did this standoff start in the first place? As you listen, it sounds like the Forrest Service put this man on the Mineral County Sheriff’s radar for camping on public land. Why? Did he overstay his welcome? In the current climate of allowing URBAN campers to do whatever the fuck they want, what the hell could this man have been doing to warrant such a response?
Another thing this man says in the videos, which caught my attention, is his theory that the law enforcement he’s facing down are “Chinese assets”. With recent arrests for sex work, including the arrest of a Chinese national, and this little culture war we seem to be embroiled in with our geopolitical adversaries (which includes drug and human trafficking), I don’t balk at the claim coming from a man who is VERY lucky to still be alive.
For some context on lethal cop standoffs, Missoula has had a few recently, like when the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office killed a man last February at a gas station, which came after the summer “officer involved shooting” involving LOTS of LE jurisdictions out near the airport.
I don’t like this at all, and hope this man stays safe.
To increase MY safety, I’m working on a post that will be scheduled pretty far out in the future, and it will contain lots of things I CANNOT currently write about. Since it will be pre-scheduled, if something were to happen to me, the post will post, regardless of whether I’m still breathing or not.

Did you know housing providers and property managers have rules? It’s true, they do, and I was surprised to see a housing forum where some actual rules were discussed in accurate detail. Shocking!
From the link (emphasis mine):
Sanderson said one of the challenges of transitioning from living on the street to being housed is the temptation for houseless friends to live there as well.
“It’s got to be very difficult living on the street all these years, you get an apartment, and then your friend says, ‘Can I come stay with you? I need a place to stay’, and you have to say ‘no’, and quite frankly, we’re the reason that they get to say no. We’re not putting the pressure on these folks to say you can’t stay with me. It’s the rules by which the property is run, and it is also a best practice. It’s not to say that the principal’s friends will be able to come and visit. It’s just in a controlled manner.”
When I hear the phrase BEST PRACTICE my body tenses up in preparation for whatever coming next being a load of bullshit. Why? Because, imho, this phrase is intended to stop both the public, and the service providers laboring inside the hostage situation known as the non-profit sector, from doing this thing called THINKING.
Guess what? Some people don’t like following “the rules”, and I suspect there is a disproportionate amount of people with this mentality living as “urban campers” across the valley (and country).
Back in 2017, the Missoulian helped Steve and Tina tell their tearful story about not wanting to follow rules at the Poverello Center, so they chose to camp illegally, then ignored all the warnings that a clean-up was going to happen.
Before getting to the quote, here is the image that scared away the Clark Fork Coalition from the collaborative relationship I had established during my time coordinating the Homeless Outreach Team:
From the link (emphasis mine):
A homeless couple who gave their names as Steve and Tina, and declined to give their last names, were distraught as they sat in the shade a short distance away with two shopping carts full of their belongings. They were in their 40s, and said their house recently had been foreclosed upon. They agreed that they had been given a lot of advance notice of the cleanup, but they were still to the point of tears because their truck recently had been stolen and they didn’t know where to go.
Steve said they don’t like staying at the Poverello Center because there’s nothing to do, they aren’t allowed to have physical displays of affection and they don’t always get along with the other residents. He also said he understands why the city needs to keep people from living in the Reserve Street Bridge area and why the trash needs to get cleaned up.
This bullshit piece of “reporting” did an incredible amount of damage, and it still pisses me off thinking about how my work was undermined by this irresponsible piece of heartstring-tugging crap.
Since we’re talking about “the rules” that exist when you do something like sign a lease, let me give a little personal example of how us non-houseless (yet) people can get ourselves into trouble if there is even the PERCEPTION that we aren’t following the rules outlined by a legal agreement, like a COMMERCIAL lease.
I have an art studio and the owner of the building (who I found out later is married to the woman who provided counseling services for my doomed marriage) was worried that I might be LIVING at my studio instead of just WORKING at my studio. Isn’t that fucking terrible?
He also interpreted some sounds he heard coming from my studio in a manner that compelled him to communicate with me, through the property manager, that only PROFESSIONAL sounds should be coming from commercial spaces during business hours.
I had to explain that my VIGOROUS WORKOUTS with weights, and my LATE NIGHTS in the studio, were the result of a personal life transition. I further explained that the PROFESSIONAL sound of doors banging LOUDLY all day long keeps someone who uses recording equipment from being able to do his podcasting and ukulele song recording during regular business hours.
Rules can be funny, though.
For example, if you have POWER in a relationship, like my landlord does, you can apparently not give a shit that for several months I didn’t have a key to lock my studio door. I could lock the main external door that SEVERAL people have keys to, but not my studio door. When I finally complained enough to be heard, I got my key and a financial break on the next month’s rent. Isn’t that nice?
Rules exist, and sometimes they’re going to be enforced, like if you don’t pay your property taxes, someone from the Sheriff’s Office will show up and tell you to leave.
But sometimes rules are NOT enforced, like if you don’t have any money for the system to squeeze from you, then there’s a chance the system will decide to NOT enforce a rule, especially if it means doing so would result in having to pay the cost of feeding you in jail.
If you would like to help cover my cost of living as I pursue elusive answers to persistent questions about who might consider themselves ABOVE those pesky rules us normies have to follow, Travis’ Impact Fund (TIF) is one way to that, and the donation button at my about page is another.
Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for the Week in Review on Sunday!
This mural did NOT cost Missoula County $170,000 dollars. No, two dozen employees INSIDE this building are what cost Missoula County $170,000, but now those employees are going to be without a job. Why? Because corporations do what corporations do, and our elected leaders are either too stupid or too uncaring to fully incorporate this reality into how they make decisions with our public money.
But don’t worry, Missoula taxpayers, Grant Kier totally feels bad about all this. From the link (emphasis mine):
A company that makes dietary supplements is planning to shut its Missoula location at the end of September and has given layoff notices to scores of employees.
Elite One Source, located at 1001 S. Third St. W., employed local workers to manufacture dietary supplements and other custom products. As of October of 2021, the company reporting having 120 local employees, including managers, chemists, cleaners and product blenders. Earlier this year, the company announced a merger with a Florida company called Ion Labs, and the new company was then called Ion Nutritional Labs.
…
In 2018, the company was on a hiring spree and won a contract with Missoula County for up to $170,000 for the creation of 24 new jobs. The money comes from the state’s coal severance tax in the form of the Big Sky Economic Development Trust Fund. The program is designed to help businesses create jobs that are paid for by revenue brought in from out-of-state, thus increasing the state’s tax base and boosting the economy.
“This is disappointing news,” said Grant Kier, the president and CEO of the Missoula Economic Partnership. “As Missoula targets support for manufacturing and mid-wage job growth, Elite One Source has been a great model of making a great product with great people. Our aim now will be to identify ways that these people can re-deploy their skills and experience to move their careers forward and help other businesses in our community succeed.”
As a reminder, the CITY of Missoula just gave Grant Kier’s organization $100,000, despite the objections of Councilperson, Daniel Carlino. Boy, it sure would have been nice if this news had broken just a few weeks earlier so critics of municipal bullshit like me could ask, in a very decorum kind of way, WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE PAYING FOR?!?
Keeping with this theme, let’s move on the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office, a law enforcement institution that runs our local jail while ALSO providing euthanizing services for uppity black men who may or may not have seen something regarding a drug investigation and federal informants in December of 2019 at Silver Park in Missoula.
Of course, that was under our previous Sheriff, T.J. McDermott. The NEW SHERIFF of Zoom Town, Jeremiah Petersen, hasn’t made ANY public appearances as far as I know since he got his job last November when he ran unchallenged to be Top Cop of Missoula County. My first question is WHY NOT? Is this man too scared about what kind of questions a journalist like me would ask if he exposed himself to the public?
My SECOND question to Sheriff Petersen, were I to get such an opportunity, would go something like this: why didn’t the jail take the drug bag, Jeremiah? Were your jailers too scared of what they would find inside?
Meth AND Amphetamine? FFS, KGVO, even your headlines are pathetic. From the link (emphasis mine):
The officer spoke with a male who identified himself as Harley Glover. The officer ran a warrant check on Glover and found an active out-of-county warrant. The officer told Glover about the warrant, detained him, removed his backpack, and placed him under arrest. However, Glover refused consent to search his backpack.
The officer transported Glover to the Missoula County Detention Facility, which would not accept the backpack. The officer then took Glover’s backpack to the Missoula Police Department and conducted an inventory search.
I have good reason for wondering how much fear has percolated throughout the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office. You see, I sat in a courtroom and watched intently as body camera footage showed how TERRIFIED Missoula County Sheriff Deputies were despite the fact Johnny Lee Perry only had a machete and all these big men with badges had guns.
Why were they afraid? Since I heard their entire plan to neutralize Johnny (the man accused of single handedly rendering Sean Stevenson unconscious before the Sheriff’s Office euthanized him at St. Pats.), I know our Missoula County Sheriff Deputies were afraid of just the POSSIBILITY heavily armed tweakers could be hiding out in one of the structures near where Johnny was playfully swinging around the blade.
Sure, they had solid intel from the other three people out there that no one else was present, but these people were drug addicts, so I guess they couldn’t be trusted, even though the Sheriff’s Office seemed to put A LOT of trust in Jackie Maxvill’s version of the story.
Since I worked for 7 years at Missoula’s homeless shelter, I have lots of good intel to, like how the owner of the backpack the jail was too scared to take, Harley Glover, is brothers with this guy:
And their mother is currently an urban camper with a serious drug addiction who I’ve heard some very troubling things about recently.
I know, maybe if we just spend MORE MONEY on all of this, it will get better. Right, Hess? (emphasis mine):
Hess said that state increase is offset by his reduction in mills, though the city is still looking at $6.3 million in new spending. Much of that is directed toward social services including a second shelter, a Crisis Response Team, a Mobile Support Team, equality and justice, and various subsidized housing programs.
It also sets aside funding for city departments, offers a cost-of-living increase for city employees, recognizes union agreements and funds efforts to streamline development, including housing. Along with the spending increase in the budget, Hess blamed inflation for the bulk of new taxes.
“Inflation is eating us alive at the city,” Hess reiterated on Wednesday. “We’re continuing to be met with aggressive cost inflation.”
While our placeholder Mayor grapples with AGGRESSIVE inflation, regular citizens and boots-on-the-ground government workers will continue to deal with AGGRESSIVE drug addicts who can’t stop putting weaponized chemicals pushed by China into their fucked up bodies.
And as Chinese nationals are being arrested IN MISSOULA amidst a drug war we are fucking losing, some virtue-signalers want to use Missoula history to win some virtue-signaling points. Sorry, supporters of this resolution, but I don’t have a lot of patience for this bullshit. From the link:
The City Council on Wednesday set out to adopt a joint resolution with Missoula County that would officially recognize “and reckon” with the history of the city’s Chinese community.
Among other things, the resolution acknowledges the graveyard in the lower Rattlesnake where many of the city’s early Chinese residents remain in unmarked graves below a residential neighborhood. It notes the role the Chinese played in building the region’s railroads, the business they ran, and how the Chinese community rapidly declined in 1892 after white Montana laborers murdered four Chinese men.
But the resolution also suggests that “Montana politicians across the political spectrum continue to fearmonger and scapegoat Asians and Asian Americans.” The statement raised concerns and sparked a deep debate on whether it should be included, if it should be clarified, or if it should be left as written.
How about a big fucking NO to that emphasized language? Want some history? Then read up on the Opium Wars, and I’ll provide some additional perspective on Sunday with a reading from John Potash’s book, Drugs as Weapons Against Us.
So stay tuned! And help me out, if you’re so inclined, by dropping some funds in Travis’ Impact Fund (TIF), or hit the donation button at my about page.
