Since I was in Bonner on Monday, attending the meeting where the Data Center was being discussed by locals, I didn’t check out the latest posturing from our CITY officials about the COUNTY location for Krambu’s project until yesterday. Luckily I have the former Democrat Spokesperson, Martin Kidston, doing his reporter LARP for the “Missoula Current”. Here’s an excerpt:
City and county leaders on Monday expressed concerns over the potential impacts of data centers as new proposals proliferate across Montana, including one center eyeing operations in Bonner.
Missoula Mayor Andrea Davis said that as artificial intelligence advances, so too must city operations and ethics. And as new data centers launch to feed the power-hungry technology, their impacts on economics, water and energy must be taken into consideration.
Despite LOTS of Harvard, my contention is Mayor Davis is one of the retarded stakeholders who must be looked at closely as she signals her virtue by claiming the advance of AI means Missoula must similarly advance “city operations and ethics”. Reading further, I came to this part about the Public Service Commission, which I highlighted in yesterday’s post detailing Step 1 for stopping Data Centers:
The 1 megawatt of power sought by Krambu in Phase 1 is enough to power nearly 800 homes for a year in the Pacific Northwest, according to the Northwest Power and Conservation Council.
Given the power requirements, Northwestern Energy has already filed an application with the Montana Public Service Commission seeking approval of its terms to serve the boom of data centers proposed across state.
So, what might “advancing ethics” look like in liberal Missoula as our elected officials seek to influence the actions of the Public Service Commission? I’m glad you asked because there’s a reason I had Gemini put Mayor Davis in a graphic novel scene with a stylized Mayan temple and a depiction of Moloch behind her, and the reason is the TERRIBLE THREAT of one particular PSC candidate, Jeremy Trebas, who once did something so culturally offensive, the Montana Jewish Project had to be brought in to force Trebas to bend the knee.
Here’s how the “Daily Montanan” depicted the 2023 social media transgression that Trebas apparently committed:
This week, Sen. Jeremy Trebas retweeted a post on social media — since deleted — that implies Jews sacrifice babies.
In a letter to the Great Falls Republican, the Montana Jewish Project said harmful tropes like the one he reposted were used as a justification for the mass murder of Jews, which “horrifically reached its apotheosis in the Holocaust, when 6 million Jews were killed.”
“We expect better of you, Senator Trebas,” said Montana Jewish Project Director Rebecca Stanfel in the letter. “We ask that you immediately remove this offensive message on your X account and apologize for spreading vitriolic antisemitism.”
Trebas took down the post.
Before we get to the actual content Trebas re-tweeted, I’ll note my phone call to the Montana Jewish Project yesterday went unanswered, so I don’t have any updates on Trebas’ current thought crimes about the Jewish faith and the kind of women who associate abortions with Judaism in order to culture-bait people online. That said, here’s what the hullabaloo was all about in 2023:
The post from Trebas evolved on social media.
First, Sarah Marian Seltzer, an editor of Lilith, a Jewish and “frankly feminist” magazine, said this in an X post:
“Just a friendly reminder that banning abortion violates Jewish women’s ability to practice our religion.”
Rabbi Franklin shared how abortion fits into the context of the Jewish religion.
“Judaism is a religion that really values life and procreation, but also values the life of the woman over the developing fetus,” Franklin said.
She said it is permissible to end a pregnancy if the woman is in distress, which includes physical health and can extend to mental health.
“It’s actually a carefully worked out religious view which both recognizes the value of life and particularly the value of the woman who is bearing potential life, which is not yet realized,” Franklin said.
On social media, however, a different account that pushes Christian nationalism added an image of child sacrifice to Seltzer’s post with this: “If child sacrifice is a core tenant (sic) of your religion, you don’t worship Yahweh, You (sic) worship Moloch.”
The Montana Jewish Project said Molok refers in modern times to a god who demands child sacrifice.
Trebas reposted it.
If Jeremy Trebas is elected to the Public Service Commission, where some of the most important decisions about powering Data Centers in Montana will be made, I think it’s important to understand that EVERYTHING about this outrage in 2023 was total bullshit.
The Daily Montanan, for example, is an arm of “State Newsroom” reporting, which gets funding from Swiss billionaire, Hans Wyss. The reporter, Keila Szpaller, used to work at the Missoulian and, I was told, was the person who outed me to the Mayor back when I wrote under a pseudonym to avoid the kind of retaliation I’ve been dealing with now for years.
Then there’s the Montana Human Rights Network, which rebranded as Catalyst Montana, and the opportunity for outgoing race-baiter, Tobin Miller Shearer, to take a shot at Jeremy Trebas while the 2023 legislative session avoided taking action to restrain Tax Increment Financing.
Here’s another lengthy excerpt from the “news” article so readers in 2026 can see how MHRN and Shearer got to operate three years ago, before their beloved tiny-hat “victims” started mass-exterminating non-Jews wherever non-Jews try to interfere with “God’s” plan:
In a condemnation of Trebas’ repost, the Montana Human Rights Network pointed out the same conspiracy about child sacrifice came up during the legislative session this year at a hearing on a bill — sponsored by Rep. Stafman — to support the religious right to access abortion.
The bill, House Bill 471, died, but Franklin, Montana Human Rights Network board president, also commented in an interview on the public hearing.
“It just seems that among certain segments of our Montana community, there are people who are very, very hostile to religious freedom and very hostile to the idea that Judaism, for example or even other groups within Christianity, might find abortion to be acceptable under certain circumstances. And there is a demonization of those who would hold a view different from theirs — a very serious demonization — and that is disturbing.”
In an email, University of Montana Professor Tobin Miller Shearer said holding members of an institution accountable for reprehensible behavior matters.
“We have lots of historical examples … of lax enforcement leading to subsequent greater transgressions,” Miller Shearer said.
He pointed to the sexual assault crisis at the University of Montana roughly a decade ago.
Do “ethics” need advancing in Missoula? Yes. Is Mayor Davis and all the wonderful people who have spent the last 6 years ignoring the implications of allowing the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office to euthanize and execute black men, the kind of people to do the “advancing”?
FUCK NO.
Thanks for reading.
