Month: November 2025

Until very recently I didn’t fully appreciate the caliber of researchers involved in the Shroud of Turin Research Project (STURP). Sure, I knew Dr. Kenneth Stevenson was involved, and had written several books about the Shroud, but I didn’t realize NASA was involved. And the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. And Los Alamos Labs.

Here is the list from Wikipedia of all the people who spent a few weeks studying the Shroud of Turin around the clock. Why such intense focus? I’ll speculate a possible answer after this list of impressively credentialed individuals:

While I’ve written plenty of posts about the Sean Stevenson case over the last five years, this new realization of how prominent Dr. Kenneth Stevenson was in an intensive research project of arguably the most studied relic on earth makes the collective inability of the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office and St. Pats hospital to contact Sean’s family before removing him from life support that much more implausibly absurd.

Less absurd, especially after I consider my own personal involvement in this case, is the claim Dr. Kenneth Stevenson has made to me about a curse associated with the Shroud and STURP. Those in the group listed above who did NOT accept the authenticity of what this relic represents, Dr. Stevenson told me, have not done well over the years. I can definitely sympathize.

Until the recent 3i Atlas hype I didn’t think of the Shroud of Turin in the context of space activity, but when the Harvard grifter, Avi Loeb, referenced the WOW! signal, I suddenly saw the signal and the intensive focus of STURP on the Shroud as being VERY connected.

Dr. Kenneth Stevenson’s son, Sean, was murdered in the same hospital that David Lynch was born in on January 20th, 1946–the same year Donald Trump was born on a blood moon and the same year the wacko occultists, Jack Parsons, L. Ron Hubbard, and their Babalon whore, Marjorie Cameron, did their magical “working” in Southern California.

David Lynch went on to make creepy films and tv content with symbolic nods to the real power running this country while incorporating Project Blue Book elements into his Twin Peaks mythos. I could go on, but I won’t. Frankly I’ve come to the conclusion that telling Missoula residents about Sean is like trying to talk to Jews about Jesus–it’s a waste of fucking time.

For refusing to back down on my audacious-sounding claims that the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office murdered Sean Stevenson AND Johnny Lee Perry, I’ve experienced nothing but aggressive local targeting, and this has happened while almost all my claims of where this town is going have come to pass. Well, here’s some more data points to consider, you funny somnambulists of Zoom Town.

There are rumors that coal train traffic through Missoula is about to dramatically increase, necessitating the closure by Burlington Northern of the Madison crossing because of all the train activity. The Rattlesnake neighborhood–already some of the most entitled assholes in this valley because of their use of TIF money to make the trains quieter–will most assuredly freak out if this rumor is true.

These rumors come on the heels of a massive, $15 billion dollar energy company merger that I’ve only recently started to think of in terms of the assholes on the Montana Public Service Commission who are doing the bidding of Governor Gianforte, who is, in turn, doing the bidding of the anti-human tech appetite for global data centers.

While these “deals” are being made by our Governor, the Montana Public Service Commission is generating nothing but chaos and confusion from recent moves after their little RINO war against Brad Molnar.

“It seemed like they were talking through a lot of issues and then they made a vote that they were going to just extend their deadline for issuing a final order for a month,” he said. “So then it was like, ‘Okay, that’s that. We’ll see in a month what all this really shakes out to be,’ and then at the end of the day, this press release came out, which we were surprised to see it. It did feel like they jumped the gun.”

Fitzmaurice described the press release as misleading, given the lack of finalized details on the commission’s actions and their real effect on customer bills.

According to PSC’s statement, the commission disallowed part of NorthWestern’s request related to the $246 million Yellowstone County Generating Station, ultimately reducing the utility’s proposal by $43 million. Fitzmaurice said despite some cost reductions, most Montana ratepayers will see an overall increase in power bills from July 2024, largely due to the construction costs associated with the new gas-fired power plant in Laurel.

I’ll be writing more about energy, trains, and data centers in the coming months, but from my consistent local perspective which continues to see the partisans doing their social media LARPs as being useful idiots, or worse.

Yeah, so quiet that so far my offer to have a more direct conversation with Patriots like Sam have been ignored.

Maybe that’s because I’m a little too loud about the alleged men who call themselves law enforcers.

Thanks for reading!

There’s a neat trick that former County Attorney, Kirsten Pabst, developed after Jon Krakauer ripped the veil off the narrative control surrounding campus rape culture in Missoula. It’s the same trick my ex-wife used when she got caught violating the parenting plan we had agreed to during our divorce. Here’s the trick: if you’re being accused of something that you’re guilty of, and the heat is on, simply become a victim and deflect that unwanted attention elsewhere.

If you didn’t know that cops and county attorneys are the pitiful victims of their oh-so-difficult jobs, the beta-male who voters chose to replace Pabst—County Attorney, Matt Jennings—reminded the few dozen people who read local news articles that he’s carrying on his predecessors legacy of strategic victimhood by deploying the phrase VICARIOUS TRAUMA, which acts like a transformative magic spell when amplified by local media. 

After playing the victim cards for the mentally ill and admitting that “The way we’re running our system with the mentally ill and criminal justice is the most expensive and least effective way we can possibly design,” Matt Jennings and the rest of the Criminal Justice Oversight Council shifted the focus to themselves:

The council also focused on vicarious trauma impacting criminal justice workers. Andrew Laue, founder of Active Resiliency, described efforts to train and support workers repeatedly exposed to traumatic events, noting such initiatives have expanded statewide and regionally. Lt. Eric Gilbertson from the Lewis and Clark County Sheriff’s Office shared the relentless emotional toll law enforcement officers face, describing a tiring shift that involved multiple traumatic incidents.

As a former service provider who once worked quite closely with local law enforcement, and who dealt more in-depth with addicts and very mentally disturbed people than most regular citizens (thus accumulating my own “vicarious trauma”), my opinion is the system is NOT capable of reforming itself, and I will offer myself and my experiences as the best example of how disingenuous these criminal justice cogs truly are.

My own “vicarious trauma” was never taken into consideration by the County and City attorney’s office as they acted an unwell person’s claims to stack charges of violating a restraining order against me for doing what I had been previously doing, which was appearing in person to local council meetings after making a documentary about Tax Increment Financing and pissing off many, many people with influence in this town. The first charge was such a complete joke that it was ultimately dropped, but it created the foundation for adding MORE criminal charges, making the threat of a possible felony charge quite intimidating if I didn’t accept a plea deal.

I’m not the only political subversive our poor, traumatized authorities are going after. Brandon Bryant, a veteran with his own demons, is once again facing serious criminal charges (watch the video at the link) after an altercation someone else started inside a bar, and which four cops finished outside when Bryant—a DISABLED vet—didn’t put his scary stick down quick enough. If FOUR cops with guns and tasers are, like that Lewis and Clark Sheriff Deputy, so burdened with crippling vicarious trauma, then maybe the should STOP being cops. I definitely don’t think it’s helping society to keep these traumatized, mentally ill cops behind a protective wall of qualified immunity.

Another example of a clearly mentally distressed Mineral County Sheriff Deputy was sent to me recently because I covered this same joker’s behavior in a previous post. Mineral County, like Missoula County, is lucky to have a judge like Shane Vannatta, because he likes to protect these jokers while coming down HARD on a threat like me, someone who has to be legally restricted from writing about United Way for six months to teach me a lesson.

People who don’t understand how the reality-protection-racket works usually find out pretty quickly when they challenge it, even slightly, like that former Chamber of Commerce director who made the mistake of speaking up critically about “urban camping”. What happened to him? He disappeared from his job after less than a year (a story I broke before the Missoulian) and the replacement showed this community exactly how that came to be, in my humble opinion, when he went along with crediting United Way’s Susan Hay Patrick for running the best Missoula non-profit.

Well, if I was the one giving out awards, I think the chamber director, Chad Bauer, might be in the running for the CUCK CHAIR prize (though I’m sure there are some attorneys for the city/county who would give him stiff competition). I’ll also note that there’s a funny irony here when you know about Chad Bauer’s work history with trash removal services in Missoula, and the controversy with non-narrative-control-sanctioned trash removal efforts that Susan Hay Patrick has worked so hard to demonize over the years. A man was even ARRESTED for disturbing piles of homeless trash along West Broadway!

Here’s how the United Way bootlicker claimed to want to help the community in his previous stint with the Chamber of Commerce:

Chad Bauer, a municipal manager at Republic Services, has again taken the reins as the Missoula Chamber of Commerce’s chairman.

Bauer became involved with the board of directors a few years ago and is happy to have the opportunity to contribute to the organization’s goal of uplifting local businesses, he said.

“For me, it’s all helping the business community in Missoula succeed and be able to move forward and have a good opportunity to succeed,” Bauer said.

In his role at Republic Services, he does a lot of work with federal, state and local government resources, he said. This has helped him build many relationships as businesses work to push through the COVID pandemic.

To wrap up this post I’d like to highlight one area where the reality-protection-racket is focusing its attention, and that’s the West Broadway River Corridor Project, an interesting piece of narrative framing because it doesn’t necessarily jive with the messaging I challenged in December of 2020 that homeless numbers were going DOWN before the pandemic.

Here are the screenshots from the plan I find relevant:

Later today Sandra Vasecka will be presiding over her last Public Safety Committee meeting and I’m going to do my best to make my public comment representative of the progress I feel I’m making in dealing with very real anger about very real situations that indicate a very real and very concerning pattern of corruption too deep to keep pounding away at in the same manner I’ve been doing since the lawfare campaign against me.

The political removal of Sandra Vasecka and Danaiel Carlino should show anyone paying attention what the “horseshoe” of City Councilors really thinks about entertaining a diversity of thought when it comes to how they are choosing to transform Missoula into a total money-whore for tourism while the actual livability for regular people erodes a little more with every passing month.

While I haven’t been posting the link to where anyone can donate money, I will today after seeing the annual $300 dollar cost for maintaining this website wipe out my meager finances, therefore DONATE HERE if you can. Any amount is appreciated.

Thanks for reading!

(link to Boston25 segment)

In the weeks between the recording of my interview for a Boston TV station and the airing of the segment yesterday, another dead body was found in Missoula.

What the local article will NOT tell you about the body is that the area it was found is known for homeless encampments, which have been popping up and getting cleared for years, including the encampment where the killer I was interviewed about lived before the forest fire drove him and his gang to the Reserve Street camps, where Gilbert “Jack” Berry was tortured and shot execution-style in the head with a 9mm gun before his body was dumped in the river for a fisherman to find.

Here’s a little information (emphasis on little) about Missoula’s latest corpse:

The Missoula Police Department is investigating after a hiker discovered a deceased male near the three-mile marker of the Kim Williams Trail on Wednesday afternoon.

Officers responded to the area just before 3:30 p.m. on November 12 after receiving the report from the hiker who found what appeared to be a body.

MPD’s Detective Division and the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office Coroner are conducting the investigation. The body of the deceased male has been transported to the Montana State Crime Lab for further investigation and identification.

Police said the individual’s identity will be released after a positive identification has been made and next of kin have been notified.

KPAX could have included the information from the press release about my co-worker’s dead body, which stated that it’s POLICY to treat ALL deaths outside of medical supervision as homicides until evidence proves otherwise, but why worry the citizens of Missoula unnecessarily? Only an unconventional blogger like myself appears capable of uttering the phrase SERIAL KILLER regarding the accumulation of dead body after dead body with virtually NO FOLLOW UP from local authorities, politicians, or other virtue-signalers who wait for the “right kind” of problem to make public noise about, like those terrible incidents of windows getting broken and pride flags being torn down.

Another person from Massachusetts is asking questions about another presumed dead body (though no body has ever been found), but this one got national attention, in part because Detective Guy Baker knows how to work his sources (which is probably why he was interested in finding out about MY sources as I’ve consistently called into question his “investigative” role over the years), starting with being the LEAD GUY in Jon Krakauer’s book about Missoula’s college rape culture.

Here’s the pitch to Reddit:

And here’s a comment I found interesting, so I responded to “Excellent-Orange8902” after providing my email contact to the person “studying criminal justice” in this totally compromised state where it’s OPEN SEASON for all kinds of trafficking (read my 2022 open letter to traffickers and my 2024 welcome post to the failed state of Montana for more context):

For a more robust list of people who have died or are still missing under mysterious circumstances, here’s the list I circulated at the beginning of the summer:

Have there been any substantive updates on any of these cases from official sources? If so, I haven’t seen them, nor have I seen the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office arrest ANYONE in the brutal murder of 88 year-old Delphine Farmer, a conspicuous lack of action even The Pulp covered at the beginning of last year.

There are two reasons Bod Ward reached out to me about Kevin Lino’s new indictments. First, I had a new post about old questions regarding Monte Swanson, and second, NO ONE ELSE in Missoula was willing to go on the record about Lino’s time in Missoula, especially those in authority failing to quell concerns locals have about HOW MANY BODIES show up dead with little to no follow up.

This is why I have ZERO RESPECT for Montana’s Attorney General, Austin Knudsen, who has only been in the news recently because Montana legislators are apparently too stupid to draft bills without major edits:

Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen defended his edits to several proposed ballot initiatives on judicial elections, saying his office is obligated to ensure clear and legally sound language for voters, even as he faces multiple lawsuits accusing him of injecting partisanship into the process.

In an interview with NBC Montana, Knudsen said initiative sponsors often submit vague or confusing language, forcing the Department of Justice to revise it before it appears on the ballot.

When Missoula criminal justice narrative controllers, like Detective Baker and the chaplain of the Sheriff’s Office, Lowell Hochhalter, collaborated to blow hot air at Connie Walker for her nationally syndicated podcast, Stolen, I made an effective case to my kids’ school administrators at Target Range that I found it highly inappropriate for them to be using this podcast as teaching material considering what I had been reporting about Lowell’s “anti-trafficking” work at the time (or a smorgasbord of links, check out this post).

Maybe, with attention starting to come from outside the Missoula bubble, politicians like our County Commissioners can be inspired to spend less time playing with trains and Targeted Economic Development Districts, and more time actually keeping the public safe, instead of just paying lip-service to community concerns when it’s convenient.

Thanks for reading!

When power promotes public/private partnerships it’s pretty normal to find pigs at the trough who like to invite their piglet family to eat with them, but that doesn’t make it right. It’s also important to understand that some of these hogs can be downright feral in how they go about protecting their positions at the trough. 

For example, let’s say you pissed off city attorneys who you once worked alongside at the invitation-only Mayor’s Downtown Advisory Commission, which was my privileged role for a few years with Missoula city attorney, Keithi Worthington, before she acted on behalf of some very troubled and influential individuals to lay the foundation for the lawfare that’s derailed much of my pre-2023 work exposing what power has done to this town.

For a taste of the players back then who worked on important issues, like trying to convince the owner of Wordens at the time to sell less booze to street people if he was intent on filming the violent result for local media in order to and complain about it, here’s a screen-shot of some 2014 minutes:

This list is now quite entertaining for me to review. Sue Wilkins runs the “non-profit” operating misdemeanor supervision, where I peed in cups on demand. Ginny will proudly reference her provenance when crossed. Eran Pehan got a cushy job and a title made just for her, while Michael Moore failed to do the “coordinated entry” requirement for four years under the “supervision” of Susan Hay Patrick, who I was forbidden to write about for six months while peeing in cups to be analyzed for where all my fucks went in talking so openly about such sad and defensive individuals.

After all that time it’s been determined illegal narcotics have NOT been at the core of my critical loss-of-fucks sustained from taking in too much bullshit from too many compromised people in this vast protection racket that begins with one of my favorite topics: NARRATIVE CONTROL!

And what else has power done to Missoula? 

It’s not just shady TIF handouts to the Lambros clan before they flipped the mall, or TIF money going to Stockmans Bank because, you know, times were tough for banks back then. And it’s not just the football player developer about to drive a stake into the heart of the Hip Strip with a waterfront abomination as the Parking Commission Nazis bide their time with their metered parking scam.

No, it’s the history you don’t know about because bullshit Copper King newspapers became bullshit MOCKINGBIRD CIA newspapers with the help of “former” CIA men, like John Talbot, who get a funny little plaque at the journalism building above a trash can I make a point to use every time I stop by campus to harass those stupid smart people with whiffs of reality.

I don’t always get relationships in the power circles right–like whatever the Reineking are to each other as they collect art and one of them says YEAH to any dumbass use of public money that comes their way, like grass on the roof of the trillion dollar library–but that’s not what worries me. No, it’s the stuff I’m not wrong about that worries me, like how deeply the CIA got up the ass of smokejumpers here in Missoula during their quiet take-over of America that culminated in the piece of shit Dulles brothers helping the nation we can’t talk about take out a president, then gaslight another president to keep the public dumb and docile about what kind of power REALLY runs America (my book will be making the case about where power resides, and how far back the infiltration goes).

When Elon Musk, Peter Thier, and Sam Altman arrive in Missoula—like they did in June for the Founder’s Fund glamp-fest at Paws Up Ranch—is it relevant to point out how a granddaughter of that former CIA man works as a lawyer sits on the Missoula Airport Authority board? The same airport authority overseeing the building a special lounge JUST for Paws Up customers?

And is it relevant to speculate how convenient it might be, when it comes to controlling narratives, for the progeny of this CIA man to be married to the lead civil attorney for Missoula, a man who shares the load with Keithi Worthington?

It’s already funny enough that Pete Talbot, the CIA man’s son, continues hate-reading this blog to catch the kind of mistakes my solo blogging effort does produce from time to time, and it gets even funnier when you see pictures, like the one below from the Missoulian (where Daddy worked), showing Pete’s sweaty little hands on some local ballots. Isn’t that hilarious?

It’s true I’ve been less diligent here with my focus because my focus has been predominantly on the book I assembled a first draft of in 59 days and which tells a more detailed story about how far back the worrisome infiltration started happening, and how organizations like the CIA, in more modern times, have collectively slithered some very nasty and anti-democratic tentacles into some very dark and disturbing places, thus making it possible for local power to become so out of control and arrogant, the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office acted like they could murder Sean Stevenson and Johnny Lee Perry without any serious repercussions.

So far they aren’t really wrong, but later today my interview will be airing in Boston, where a reporter got interested enough about a serial killer’s time in Missoula to reach out and ask me questions about it, and for that I’m deeply appreciative. The amount of “accidental deaths” we are being told as a community to accept is bullshit, and more and more people around town seem to be talking about it. That’s why my co-worker’s suspicious death was actually treated like a homicide and not the accident other suspicious deaths have been immediately dismissed as.

I’m going to leave it there, for now, but if anyone wants to start digging into a very interesting individual, this Slate article about Leslie Fiedler is a good place to start.

Thanks for reading!

UPDATE: Kim R. is not Ruth R.’s sister, says the anonymous commenter who failed to elucidate at the time of this update.

Before the debate was over I pulled out my computer because the debate was over. I had known Jesse Ramos would be the winner because I’m biased against Tax Increment Financing, but Ponytail Karl was embarrassing himself so badly I had to start writing down my reaction.

The moderator had already shown his own bias by chastising Jesse Ramos for allegedly not answering the question about TIF funding housing in Midtown when Ramos simply reiterated that TIF’s role is to deal with blight, not subsidize housing. After this answer the moderator threatened (semi-jokingly) to not give Jesse back the mic if he wasn’t going to answer the question.

Huh?

Maybe the moderator and Ponytail Karl were rattled by the first question from “table talk” time and the perfect answer Jesse Ramos gave regarding “remittance”. While Karl just stammered about how the board of directors at MRA (Missoula Redevelopment Agency) thought remittance payouts for city budget shortfalls were terrible distractions from their pipeline of projects, Ramos said remittance was the “best tell” that Tax Increment Financing wasn’t working. 

Swoosh!

When the next question put Karl on the spot to think creatively about “one thing he would change” about Tax Increment Financing, he freaked out and bid the Mayor to come save him. Yes, Karl, go sit in the cuck chair while Mayor Davis grabs her Harvard strap-on to immediately suggest MORE DEBATE is needed because losing so badly and so quickly clearly required positioning the losers for a rematch in order for more sophisticated bullshit to be developed and deployed.

Hilarious!

When Jesse Ramos got his turn to discuss change he asked if he would get a “phone-a-friend” option like Karl did, then he demonstrated why he didn’t need that option by continuing to wipe the floor with ALL the TIF addicts in the room. And what would Jesse Ramos do to TIF?

Just tie the use of funds to districts with DECLINING property values. If the property value in the TIF isn’t declining, no money. That is a stake to the heart of the slush fund and I love it.

The next question from the table-talkers gave Ponytail Karl a chance to lie about how impossible it was to get a bond passed to extend the life of a TIF district (officially called an “Urban Renewal District”). After that line of bullshit, Jesse Ramos then detailed how TIF District 3 was initially supposed to “sunset” in 2015, but the bond that City Council passed to fund the walking bridge over Reserve Street extended the life of the district to 2040.

Sit the fuck down, Karl!

I want to reemphasize that Karl heads up a board at the Missoula Redevelopment Agency that appears to be very opposed to giving back City Council taxpayer money. For more context on those tight-fisted darlings, here’s a screenshot from the city website:

Before we get to the little more context on Ponytail Karl Englund and why he seemed to adamant about emphasizing following state law, I’d like to point out Ruth Reineking has a sister, a “contractor”, and isn’t that just nice?

After an initial remodel, MNHC moved in and rented the east side as warehouse space in 2005. When the tenant left, MNHC decided to sell the property rather than renovate and lease it.

“It wasn’t in good enough condition to lease for anything but warehouse space. We just decided if we can sell it, we can get the revenue now when we need it and find the right partner,” Olsen said.

The right partner was the Reinekings. Kim Reineking, a contractor, loved the building’s location, too, and thought the two nonprofits might work well together.

The Reinekings bought a portion of the building’s east end from MNHC in 2011 and set up a 20-year lease-to-own agreement with FVLT.

“It’s what we had in mind,” Reineking said of the work so far.

This is almost as nice as getting your daughter a nice job with a developer, right Ellen?

While that kind of stuff happened, Ponytail Karl was swinging his trial lawyer support for a Montana judge involved in one of the most expensive and nasty races for the increasingly politicized Montana Supreme Court:

The race for Montana Supreme Court Justice 2 was between Gustafson, the incumbent, and James Brown, a Helena-based attorney — who declined to do any interviews post-election. Gustafson beat Brown by a margin of about 40,000 votes.

Overall, it was a race that ended up bringing in a lot of out-of-state cash.

“This race was unprecedented in the amount of money that was spent on it, the intensity of the debate about it. It was a pretty nasty race. It at times felt pretty personal and had this really amazing partisan overtone that we’ve never seen in a Supreme Court race before,” University of Montana School of Journalism director Lee Banville said.

While writing posts like this is great and all, it’s still a bit frustrating to have made an entire documentary about the local uprising against TIF in Missoula and, because of my choices to stop playing nice with very corrupt local organizations who play VERY dirty, I literally washed the dishes Monday for an event I should have been attending. Oh well, such is life.
