A Preemptive Local Threat Assessment – by Travis Mateer

Does former JSOC drone operator turned whistleblower, Brandon Bryant, express himself online in ways that can be concerning? Sure, if you didn’t know better, Bryant could be seen as a loose cannon if you based your opinion solely on his online persona, but that would be a mistake, just like it was a mistake for the County Attorney’s Office to pursue felony charges against Bryant during the Great Anti-TIF Missoula Uprising of 2019.

Here’s how KPAX reported on Bryant’s arrest in March of 2020:

The man that was banned from Missoula City Council meetings for making threats has been formally charged.

Brandon Bryant of Missoula appeared in court on Thursday, after making a threatening YouTube video about city council members.

Bryant is accused of threatening mass murder-those threats apparently directed at Missoula City Council members. He is charged with one felony count of threats/improper influence in official and political matters.

After beating these charges, which stemmed from the Great Missoula Tax Uprising of 2019 (see Engen’s Missoula), Bryant has continued to face harassment locally, which I have spoken to him about on multiple occasions.  

For example, the wooden staff Bryant uses as a disabled Veteran was recently identified inside the Missoula County Courthouse by a Sheriff Deputy as a threat, and yet, when harassed by the Sheriff Deputy, Bryant did NOT snap and attack, but instead calmly advocated for himself and put this stupid Sheriff Deputy in his place. Well done, Brandon.

Recently a new person arrived on the scene where the social circles I circulate in have their little rag-tag sense of community. I was sympathetic, at first, of the criminal charges this person is facing, and the seeming pariah status this person achieved in their respective social circles, but that was before I learned about the double homicide of William and Yesenia Larsen in 2020, allegedly committed by several Missoula residents arrested in March of 2021, who this person may have some connections to.

Three Missoula residents have been arrested in connection with a California double murder.

Mono (California) Sheriff Ingrid Braun says arrest warrants were issued for Bradley Kohorst, 35, Cory Spurlock, 33, and Orit Oged, 32 in connection with a double homicide in Bridgeport, California.

Two bodies were found by a snowplow driver in the early morning hours of Nov. 9, 2020, on the shoulder of Highway 395, approximately 10 miles north of Bridgeport.

Sheriff Braun says the victims — who were identified as William and Yesenia Larsen, a husband and wife, from Burbank, California — had no known connection to Mono County.

“A thorough investigation ensued, which led our Investigators to the determination that several former business associates of the victims were connected to the deaths,” Sheriff Braun stated in a news release.

The more I looked into this story, which entails drug trafficking and a third potential murder tied to these “Missoula residents”, I started to get a REALLY bad feeling. Then, the more I heard this supposed “activist” talk about “building community” while, at the same time, leaving social carnage in “their” wake, I knew there could be big trouble if no one stood up and started asking questions out in the sunlight, where I like to operate.

Some of my investigating doubles as ass-covering, since I didn’t know about this double homicide when I assisted this person in trying to get a lock off a storage space at a house this person once lived at. The fact that one of the accused murderers shares the foreign nationality of this “activist” who accuses anyone that criticizes “them” of being anti-semitic, only makes me more concerned about what’s going on with this person, their role in this community, the criminal charges they are facing, and the Israeli daddy who owns the house right by Interstate 90, in the Rattlesnake neighborhood.

If I had gotten a response from the Missoula Detective I reached out to weeks ago, I might not be writing this post, but I didn’t, so I am. And I am making this preemptive threat assessment because this activist person is now threatening to make public claims that Brandon Bryant is the threat when everything I’ve seen indicates the opposite is true.

The documentary about the local tax uprising treated Bryant’s role pretty harshly, since by the time it was made there had been a falling out between him and the filmmaker I worked with, but that is all in the past now, and it’s in the past because Brandon Bryant is NOT the threat some people assume he is when all they see is his online commentary.

The location of this “New Jersey owned” house in the exclusive Rattlesnake section of Missoula gets even more curious for me when I recall how a former New York Homeland Security agent turned Montana Representative who likes to sneak into churches to record Christians lives in this hood.

For context, here’s a screen shot of Danny’s wikipedia page:

I’d like to say more about what some of my research is pointing me toward regarding a very old and very interesting connection between Tibetan Buddhism and Zionism, but that’s beyond the scope of this particular post, so I’ll leave it here for today.

Thanks for reading!

  1. I had a very cordial conversation with FORMER Rep, Danny Tenenbaum, that I want to make note of it because the way I almost went about it would have NOT been cordial, because I would be have been recording it, and therefore performing, for clicks. Instead I acted in the vein of what I claim to be–a hyper-localist who will talk to anyone–and the result was a more genuine and richer exchange of information that, I hope, is a benefit to both of us as DADS who live here and will continue to live here, even when the internet goes out.

    And, since it was a genuine conversation, this is all I’m going to say about it.
