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.”
And THIS year? Just a little grand-theft-auto, no biggie.
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?
Thanks for reading!
