Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to introduce you to Kermit.
The frog?
No, Kermit the “protestor”, a fine young man who spent some time threatening the Mayor of Portland, Ted Wheeler, before making his way to Zoom Town (Missoula) to get himself arrested.
Kermit Tyler Poulson of Portland, Oregon, was arrested in Missoula on Tuesday.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the 39-year-old man is being charged with threatening Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler. They say he used social media to send communications with the intent to extort Wheeler.
Officials say Poulson visited the Missoula Police Department to file a complaint about something unrelated. They say that’s when police found Poulson’s federal warrant and arrested him.
It is not yet clear why Paulson was in Missoula.
Ha! When I read this back in 2019 it seemed pretty clear to me why he was in Missoula–he LOVED the way this well-meaning town rolled out the red carpet for “houseless” “protestors” like himself.
Those who tried serving him at the local shelter, though, were NOT impressed, since he was ejected for throwing a chair at a paid staff member (not me).
For a little context on Rose City Antifa, here’s an excerpt from Wikipedia:
Rose City Antifa was formed in 2007 to coordinate opposition to a music festival that was planned to be held near Portland by neo-Nazis associated with White Aryan Resistance.[3][9] According to one of its leaders, the group concentrates on “outing” people whom they believe to be neo-Nazis.[10] According to Alexander Reid Ross, the author of the book Against the Fascist Creep, Rose City Antifa grew out of the group Anti-Racist Action (ARA) which first appeared in 1987. Through Rose City Antifa, “the European and American models were sort of synthesized and the current model of Antifa in the US was developed”.
U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme has announced that a homeless man with ties to Kalispell admitted on Tuesday that he threatened to blow up the Flathead County courthouse.
Kermit “Ty” Poulson, 46, pleaded guilty to interstate communication of a threat to damage property by means of fire or explosive, which carries a maximum term of imprisonment of ten years, a potential fine of $250,000, and up to three years of supervised release.
Isn’t this great? Thanks Portland!
Now, for a little rage-cherry on top of this wonderful mid-week post, I was just wrapping up my latest pee-session of joyfully depositing urine in a plastic cup for analysis (something that seems to happen after I make public comments and/or write about certain topics) when I heard the distinct sound of male anger near the Missoula County Detention Facility.
I knew there was a reason I left my poem-song mid-stanza to get my pee test out of the way! The interruption to my day was actually a gift because it allowed me to record this adorable clip of a shirtless man pacing around and threatening jail staff to fight.
Just think, if I wasn’t on misdemeanor supervision and required to come in on demand, I never would have caught this impressive specimen of male rage in its natural environment.
Over the long weekend a friend sent me a link to a Jimmy Dore interview with Keith McHenry, the co-founder of Food Not Bombs. When it comes to providing context on the Homeless Industrial Complex, including the current grift, how the grift is protected, and its long history stretching back to New York City, circa 1938, I don’t think a more informative 30 minutes exists, so check it out!
Money has ALWAYS been terrified of the mob, so it’s not surprising to see that David Rockefeller was closely tied to the origin story of United Way in NYC. From the link:
United Way of New York City has deep roots in our community, working to empower our most-vulnerable neighbors—and has been doing so since its inception in 1938. The Great Depression was nearing the end, a glimmer of hope was in the air, but so many were struggling. It was then that Rockefeller rallied the titans of industry—Vanderbilt, Morgan, and Carnegie— to come together and change what it meant to be a New Yorker. They founded an organization that would collect funds and distribute them to local charities, coordinate relief efforts, refer people to agencies and programs who could support them, and provide emergency assistance while individuals and families worked to regain stability after such economic devastation. And so began the organization that today we know as United Way of New York City.
Fast forward half a century and United Way found itself embroiled in a massive scandal featuring its CEO, William Aramony. Here’s a good summary of the cautionary tale:
The downfall of William Aramony, once a celebrated figurehead of American philanthropy, serves as a chilling parable of unchecked power and misplaced trust. As the long-time CEO of United Way of America (UWA), Aramony held a position that embodied the very essence of public service and charitable giving. He was entrusted with millions of dollars donated by ordinary citizens, funds intended to alleviate suffering and strengthen communities. Yet, beneath the veneer of compassion and dedication, Aramony was perpetrating a shocking deception, diverting charitable donations to finance a life of extravagance and personal indulgence. His actions not only shattered his own reputation but also triggered a seismic shift in the nonprofit sector, forcing a long-overdue reckoning with issues of accountability, transparency, and ethical leadership.
Aramony’s criminal behavior marked a turning point for nonprofits, exposing the vulnerabilities of a sector that had long operated on an assumption of good faith and selfless service. The scandal revealed that even the most esteemed organizations, led by seemingly unimpeachable figures, could fall prey to corruption and abuse of power. It underscored the urgent need for greater scrutiny, stricter controls, and a fundamental shift in how nonprofits operate and are perceived.
When you watch the Jimmy Dore interview you get a wonderful description of the tactics used against people like ME, former insiders of the Homeless Industrial Complex intent on exposing the grift. I guess I was too good at showing the narrative control relationship between the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office, a Federal program called Project Safe Neighborhood, and that local chapter of the non-profit I’m forbidden to write about because my judge, Mandamus Shane, is more concerned about bathrooms than the first amendment.
That’s why when you read THIS post from March 31st you’ll notice I was forced to remove content or face the legal consequences.
Since I’m severely restricted in writing about the Homeless grift in Missoula, let’s look at the retarded state of California where BILLIONS can’t be properly accounted for.
California has failed to adequately monitor the outcomes of its vast spending on homelessness programs, according to a state audit released Tuesday, raising questions about whether billions of dollars meant to thwart the crisis has been worth it as the number of people living unsheltered has soared.
A new report from the California State Auditor’s Office found that a state council created to oversee the implementation of homelessness programs has not consistently tracked spending or the outcomes of those programs.
That dearth of information means the state lacks pertinent data and that policymakers “are likely to struggle to understand homelessness programs’ ongoing costs and achieved outcomes,” the audit says.
The woman getting some of the long-needed scrutiny, Dr Va Lecia Adams Kellum, resigned last month as information emerged showing how these types of grifters LOVE directing money to friends and family. Here’s a screenshot from the link:
While the grifters get paid BIG dollars to grift, whistleblowers like me get financially destroyed by the lawfare tactics used to ensure the public stays ignorant about what’s REALLY happening with their donations and tax dollars. The message is clear: speaking truth to local power has a STEEP price tag, one most people aren’t willing to pay. How will we ever shift the grift if those who have the guts to say something get socially isolated and financially destroyed?
My effectiveness in unpacking how local grifters leverage the blackhole of need to control and expand every financial tool available to them, like tax levies, is why I’ve been targeted, slandered, harassed, and intimidated into scaling back my effort to break the narrative control I saw emerge when the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office permanently ended Sean Stevenson’s bout of homelessness in Missoula by KILLING HIM, a strategy they duplicated with Sean’s alleged assailant, Johnny Lee Perry.
I’d like to say more, but, in Missoula, speaking truth to power has been effectively criminalized for me, so instead I’ll just say thanks for reading, and stay tuned, because my prediction for our local political season is that it’s going to be HILARIOUS!
A border patrol agent named Travis died recently and his peers have been in Missoula for the funeral, triggering locals so bad our local media had to write an article about it, including inquiring about policies related to using official border patrol vehicles.
Many agents from the Spokane Sector (which covers eastern Washington, Idaho and western Montana) convened in Missoula last weekend for the funeral of agent Travis W. Salo, who grew up in Missoula. Salo, 36, died on April 25 when the truck he was driving went off the road in Metalline, Washington.
The presence of so many U.S. Border Patrol vehicles in Missoula got the attention of many local residents, with some of them contacting members of the Missoula City Council.
But, it turns out, they were here for the funeral and not for any type of large enforcement action.
One of my many gripes about this stupid town is how stupid and ignorant local liberals seem to be when it comes to understanding how power actually functions. How many of the concerned citizens who contacted their Council members even know the name of their Sheriff? Maybe they should, since it’s the SHERIFF’S OFFICE that coordinates with Federal agencies.
To highlight WHY local liberals should pay some attention to who the fuck our Sheriff is, here’s an ACLU report on what coordination with Federal agencies looks like (lease note this article is from 2022, so the President at the time would be the bureaucrats who acted in treasonous coordination with their mockingbird media players to con the American people about Biden’s severe senility):
The American Civil Liberties Union released a new research report today on Immigrations and Customs Enforcement’s 287(g) program, which delegates federal immigration enforcement authority to local and state law enforcement agencies and which expanded five fold under the Trump administration. The report, License to Abuse, is the first in-depth and comprehensive review of the character and conduct of local 287(g) partners, primarily county sheriffs, both under the Biden administration and previous administrations.
And here’s a screenshot of some of the results:
For those who are ignorant about the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office, the man who ran unopposed for the big hat position is Jeremiah Petersen. I’m not surprised Petersen chooses to keep his hat down, since his detectives can’t seem to produce the kind of investigation that leads to arrests when an old woman is beat to death with an antler.
Sixteen months ago—Sunday, Sept. 25, 2022—was the first day of the only homicide investigation led that year by the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office. Little has been said about the murder of Delphine Farmer since.
A press release did go out that week. It let people know a reported assault in Clinton was being investigated as a homicide and that there were no threats to others near where it happened, which was inside Farmer’s house, a little over a mile up Donovan Creek Road. That’s about 20 miles from downtown Missoula, past the signs warning people that only residents should keep going up.
In October 2023, another press release stated there were “no new leads” in the case, more than a year after Farmer’s death.
How can there be no threat to the public when an unidentified killer is just apparently walking around? Good question. Maybe we DO need some Feds to come in and ask some tough questions. And I know the PERFECT AGENT for the job!
That’s right, with cuts to the public funding that keeps quality children’s programming active, I’m troubled to report that COOKIE MONSTER has been forced to take a job with ICE. My sources tell me that Cookie Monster will be focusing on furries because ANYONE could be hiding under those furry outfits!
If you have questions for Cookie Monster there will be an opportunity coming soon to speak with him and ALL my Lego friends, so stay tuned!
It’s been very painful for me to watch The Pulp attempt to be a relevant local media outlet in Missoula and their most recent piece (6 days old), Watching the Watchdogs, highlights why I think The Pulp is the opposite of a relevant local media outlet. Let’s take a look!
Even though it was an “old” movie when I was in high school, All the President’s Men was one of the primary reasons I was inspired to write for the Hellgate High School newspaper, The Lance, and aspired, one day, to be a journalist. The 1976 film based on a 1974 non-fiction book tells the true story of the Watergate scandal and the two Washington Post reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, who broke the story. It features some great power acting from Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman and it was nominated for eight Academy Awards — and it continues to be a classic journalism movie, which is why The Pulp is sponsoring a screening of it at The Roxy on Tuesday.
Why does Erika Fredrickson assume Woodward and Bernstein told the TRUE STORY about Watergate? She has to, that’s why. If Erika Fredrickson actually questioned official historical narratives, like the actual journalistic pedigree of of Bob Woodard, she might come away with a VERY different understanding of how power works in America.
For a counterpoint to Erika’s regurgitation of the official Nixon narrative, here’s Tucker from two years ago shit-talking Bob’s role by suggesting he was more CIA asset than real journalist.
“He wasn’t a journalist,” Carlson said about the most celebrated journalist of the modern age Thursday night on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
“Who exactly was Bob Woodward? Well, he wasn’t a journalist,” Carlson continued. “Bob Woodward had no background whatsoever in the news business. Instead, Bob Woodward came directly from the classified areas of the federal government. Shortly before Watergate, Woodward was a naval officer at the Pentagon.”
It’s true that Woodward joined the Washington Post straight out of the Navy – in a two-week trial as a cub reporter. He failed that trial, and spent a year working at the D.C. suburbs weekly Montgomery Sentinel before he would get another shot over at the Post. (Woodward did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday.)
Another great indicator that Erika is one of those “journalists” incapable of updating her internal software to adapt to the times is her continued focus on Trump while the rest of country realizes just how manipulated they were regarding President Joe Biden. And who manipulated them? The entire media establishment, that’s who.
Looking back, I realize it wasn’t just the drama that stuck with me, it was the quiet persistence of journalism. The hours spent combing through records, the seemingly dead-end phone calls, the painstaking process of fact-checking. It was definitely intriguing and easy to romanticize, but the film didn’t portray journalism as glamorous, per se. It did, however, portray it as essential. Watching Woodward and Bernstein methodically build a case — source by source, document by document — felt like witnessing truth slowly emerge from darkness. That kind of reporting takes time and guts, and that’s true now, as well, especially in a world where news breaks in seconds and misinformation spreads faster than facts. Case in point: Contemporary journalists investigating the Trump administration’s actions — ranging from alleged ties to foreign powers, to the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, to today’s aggressive, Constitution-flouting immigration crackdown — have had to rely on confidential sources and push past institutional resistance.
Americans were treated to 4 years of gaslighting by national media as local media got gutted by corporate boardrooms, and we’re NOT going to forget it any time soon. We truly are at a crossroads as a country, but if journalists think they can coverup a senile president who has access to nuclear weapons, then just move on like it’s business as usual, well, they are worse than retarded. They are unwitting assets in a vile information war that most Americans don’t have the time or energy to deal with, so they just stop paying attention.
Here’s how the local idiots romanticizing their abysmal failure think of themselves and their craft. Try not to vomit in your own mouth after reading this shit:
And, for me, All the President’s Men offers both a warning and a guidepost no matter where you live and no matter where you are on the political spectrum. The film’s resonance suggests that even though tools may change, the investigative journalist’s mission remains steadfast: follow the facts, protect the sources, tell the truth, etc.
All the President’s Men is high-stakes political intrigue on a national scale. But what the film gets right, and what translates perfectly to a community paper, is the journalism process. That kind of relentless curiosity and willingness to dig. We are big fans of those things at The Pulp, which is why we want to share this film with you whether you’ve seen it many times or never. See you there?
No, Erika, you will NOT see me there because I’m doing what you’re just pretending to do. So go ahead and watch your little movie and keep pretending you’re speaking truth to power. It’s adorable.
Thanks for reading!
UPDATE: this post momentarily had the quotes removed by the shitty app I use to edit my posts on the fly.
Last night a new propaganda strategy was unveiled to the public and, predictably, no one is really impressed. The media did their predictably shitty job reporting on this development, and the predictable criticism on social media ensued. Here’s one of the comments I curated shit-talking the media’s role in “reporting” what’s happening with our elected policy makers:
Adam is 100% correct, this article is utter shit, but let’s take a look at it anyway. From the link:
The Missoula City Council is poised to make a significant decision regarding housing instability. Council members are set to vote on a new strategy called “On Our Way Home,” designed to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring.
The strategy was developed by a diverse team of community members, including those working in housing, health care, and faith groups, as well as individuals who have experienced homelessness. The council will decide whether to adopt this plan as an official city policy.
The “On Our Way Home” strategy outlines a three-year roadmap from 2025 to 2028. Its focus is on reducing homelessness across Missoula. The plan was created by a 16-member leadership group, with one-third of participants having lived experience of being unhoused.
This sounds very similar to the process that was used by the Urban Camping Working Group to develop the plan to spread “survival campers” throughout Missoula parks, a plan that was quickly abandoned, but not before empowering Brad to become Chloe while “she” gets into physical altercations between shit-talking City Council.
One of the comments from Council came from Bob Campbell, the former cop who expressed his contentment that the PREVIOUS plan, the “10 Year Plan to End Homelessness”, was BURIED. Interesting choice of words, Bob.
Below is Bob’s comment. Please excuse the glitchy jump in the middle.
How will THIS plan be different than THAT plan, Bob? I know the CITY now oversees this stuff, where previously it was that non-profit I’m legally banned from writing about, but if that’s the only change, well, you’re all gonna look REAL CRAZY!
Since the public isn’t as worthless and self-interested as the Susans and Ellies of this town, questions of substance actually get raised on social media. Here is a critical question about ACTUAL HELP being provided at the drug addict warehouse. Is there any?
When you support drug addict warehouses with NO substantive support services you enable a culture of criminality and predation that spills into our communities in ways most people are getting damn sick of. Take Kathryn Hernandez, for example. Last year she was doing this:
The officer arrived and spoke to the employee who said Hernandez was known to fill carts with thousands of dollars worth of merchandise and attempt to walk out. Hernandez had entered the store and began putting miscellaneous items in her cart. Hernandez then pushed the cart past the last point of purchase but was stopped by the cart’s anti-theft system which locked the cart’s wheels.
Hernandez reportedly gathered her items from the cart, walked toward the front of the store, and placed said items into a motorized cart. Hernandez then proceeded to drive around and “grabbed everything in sight.” Hernandez circled one of the exits before proceeding to the exit on the west side of the building. She circled, looked around, and drove the motorized cart filled with items past the last point of purchase. The employee was already standing there waiting for her.
The officer advised Hernandez of her Miranda rights. She stated she understood and agreed to speak with him. The officer asked Hernandez to tell her side of the story. She stated she initially came in for fishing gear but needed a brush for her hair, stating something to the effect of “there was just so many things.” Hernandez stated she left past the last point of purchase to set off the alarms so that an employee would stop her, stating something to the effect of “it worked.”
On May 14, 2025, at 6:52 a.m., a Missoula Police Department officer responded to a report that a vehicle, a white Chevrolet Express van, had been stolen from a hotel in the 3000 block of Stockyard Rd. The reporter informed 911 that his brother’s van was stolen from the hotel where it was parked, and was potentially seen near 500 W. Broadway St.
Approximately ten minutes after the initial call, a Missoula County Sheriff’s Office deputy saw the stolen van swerving erratically between lanes and determined that he needed to wait for additional support so a high-risk traffic stop could be executed.
After another deputy arrived, they began their pursuit as the van continued to veer in and out of its lanes. As the van continued to travel southbound on Reserve St., it eventually came to a stop near Spurgin Rd.
In the next paragraph Kathryn Hernandez is identified as the suspect driving the van. How did she come into possession of this van? She was ALREADY IN IT when the guy started driving it!
After being placed under arrest, Hernandez was advised of her Miranda rights, which she voluntarily waived. Hernandez informed the officer that the van was not hers and that she had entered the van during the night. She said she was using it as a place to sleep because she noticed it was unlocked.
According to court documents, Hernandez further explained that she woke up in the morning to the van being started. Hernandez explained that the vehicle being started scared her, and she didn’t know what to do. Hernandez later explained that she was confused about how the owner of the vehicle didn’t notice her in the back of the van.
Hernandez also admitted that after the owner walked away from the van while it was left running, she decided to take the van. Hernandez advised that she was going to take the van to the library, then go underneath the Madison Street bridge, where she lives by the river. Law Enforcement reports also note that Hernandez admitted to stealing the van numerous times to hospital staff.
If Kathryn is 69, she has some form of Social Security income, so this type of case SHOULD be low hanging fruit for service providers, but since the entire state of Montana is fucking retarded and totally corrupt, no institution is going to help, especially Adult Protective Services.
Bob may THINK he is looking forward to this conversation about the next 3 years of bullshitting the public about the strategy to reduce homelessness, but, if I’m involved, I guarantee it’s going to get REAL awkward. That’s because I plan on describing how some organizations and individuals actually LOVE homeless people, and why.
For example, I mentioned Forward Montana in yesterday’s post, but what I failed to mention is how Forward Montana is using the inaccurate propaganda of local homeless facing people facing $500 dollars fines from meanie Republican-supported policies passed in Helena this session, something Mike Nugent attempted to clarify last night when he said STATE dictates don’t have to get applied in CITY municipalities, like Missoula.
On the flip side of the political divide it might seem like cops would NOT enjoy dealing with homeless people, but if you’re lazy and/or corrupt, like I suspect Detective Guy Baker is, homeless drug culture is like a playground for using informal informants to get information on people and criminal networks.
As a reminder to readers that I have cops reading my shit, here’s the post where Detective Baker attempted to set up a meeting with me, and here’s the post where he said I was being negative by implying he’s a media whore. For additional context on how the public is being forced to become detectives, here’s the Reddit thread about missing and/or dead women in Missoula (on a side note, the comment from Danit’s boyfriend, who appears now to be targeting ME, is no longer there. If he’s so sure his Jewish girlfriend died by accident, I wonder why he was commenting there?)
Anyway, that’s surely enough context on the 3 year plan to bullshit the Missoula public about homelessness for today. I’ll continue tracking this and reporting on it, at least as much as the law will allow me to. I mean, why WOULD anyone want an expert like me, with 4 glorious months of lived homeless experience last summer to help direct our limited municipal resources?
