My original intent in attending the Water Watchdog event last night–put on by the Clark Fork Coalition–wasn’t to assess how worried non-profits suddenly are after Trump’s federal money freeze dropped, but that was one of the first questions an eager Water Pup asked after the three person panel stopped torturing us with Legislative updates.
What I had hoped to do was listen for any indication the non-profit I once collaborated with on homeless camp cleanups was still interested in protecting the river from THAT threat, and if that topic wasn’t broached, my next hope was to inject it like a shot of meth into their Patagonia-encased energy fields, but I didn’t get that opportunity. Darn!
For those interested in some visceral visuals, here’s a seven minute video of the VERY negative impacts of “urban camping” that continued to happen after the Clark Fork Coalition pulled out of doing this kind of work for PR political reasons.
Since the “urban campers” didn’t let up on destroying their proximal environment by establishing fairly well-organized meth colonies anywhere retarded local officials could point to some other jurisdiction to avoid blame, I continued doing the hard work of cleaning up after them with citizens like Kevin, who stepped up to fill the vacuum created by malignantly compromised local influencers and non-profit leaders, like Susan Hay Patrick.
The acceptable risks the neutered audience last night got pats on the head for caring about are the remnants of extractive industry, like a proposed mine on the Smith river, corporate malfeasance, like the waste left behind at Smurfit-Stone just down stream of Missoula, and Held vs. Montana. If you haven’t heard about HELD, well, it was probably the BIGGEST topic of conversation last night, especially from the perspective of Montana Public Radio’s propagandist, Ellis, who couldn’t stop talking about it.
For a quick summary about how lawyers are exploiting youth, fear, and Montana’s progressive state constitution guaranteeing a clean environment, here’s the Wikipedia entry:
Held v. Montana is a constitutional court case in the State of Montana regarding the right to a “clean and healthful environment in Montana for present and future generations” as required by the Constitution of Montana. The case was filed in March 2020 by Our Children’s Trust on behalf of sixteen youth residents of Montana, then aged 2 through 18. On June 12, 2023, the case became the first climate-related constitutional lawsuit to go to trial in the United States.
After developing a strong allergy to fear and propaganda, I wrote posts like this one actually examining the forces behind the children in this case, and I was quite unimpressed with how those forces were trying to create little Montana Greta Thunbergs.
While it’s just a hunch, I suspect organizations like the Clark Fork Coalition have already been hit with less involvement and less money after trying to minimize the impacts of homeless camps five years ago, which I believe is the last time this organization has said anything significant in the media about urban camping, which has gotten MUCH worse and widespread since then.
From the link (emphasis mine):
Although the homeless camp seems to be large in the eyes of our community, the Clark Fork Coalition says its only one blip on the map when it comes to river concerns.
“Overall impacts to the river — these homeless encampments don’t have us sounding the urgent alarm bells in terms of water quality,” said Knudsen.
For several years, the Clark Fork Coalition worked in the area of the homeless camp to clean up the river banks. Now, thanks to collaborative efforts, other groups are doing the work.
It is simply AMAZING to me how non-profit narrative controllers do their nasty control work for each other. In the above example, Karen Knudsen is pretending like some other group was waiting in the wings to clean nasty homeless trash instead of the actual reality, which is that the Clark Fork Coalition ABANDONED the relationship I worked hard to establish because of ONE bad piece of press from the fucking Missoulian. Because of this abandonment, citizens like Kevin took ACTUAL RISKS by doing this work, risks I chose to ignore, which earned me the lawfare/character assassination smear campaign I’m still currently fighting.
For even MORE exciting local footage of my unique approach to handling urban meth colonies, here’s a 30 minute video I made a few springs ago when I discovered an extensive meth-den buildout right on the banks of the Clark Fork River, just behind that biotech company currently developing Fentanyl vaccines.
If you appreciate all this amazing work I’ve done, and sympathize with how it’s rendered me a broke-ass problem for the entire power structure of this retarded town, please consider throwing me a digital dollar or two at Travis’ Impact Fund (TIF).
