I watched a 7 minute clip a few days ago that reminded me of Montana’s role in harboring some of the alleged Christians who make up the network involved, I believe, in covering up Israel’s role in the Charlie Kirk assassination, so after yesterday’s post asking why Montana is a safe space for demons, today I’ll be trying to answer the question about why Montana ALSO appears to be a safe space for Zionist Christians.
Before we get to the shills, though, let’s look at Robert Shillman, the man who made media mouthpieces out of James O’Keefe, Ben Shapiro, and Laura Loomer for his favorite blue and white country. And that’s just what I was able to glean from Wikipedia!
Shillman sits on boards of The Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous, and the David Horowitz Freedom Center. In May 2008, President George W. Bush appointed him to serve on the Honorary Delegation to accompany him to Jerusalem for the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the State of Israel.
He has funded Brigitte Gabriel’s ACT for America, James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas, FrontPage Magazine and Rebel News, and has argued against the US accepting Syrian Muslim refugees.
He has been described as a counter-jihad “elite” and high-profile financier. In and around August 2017, he funded several far-right counter-jihad activists who were appointed “Shillman Fellows”. Among these fellows were Laura Loomer, Raheem Kassam and Katie Hopkins.
While Shillman made the shills, a pair of billionaire bros from Texas made the platforms to amplify the shills. For more on that front, here’s some context about how the Wilks brothers, who own LOTS of land in Montana, provided the seed money for The Daily Wire:
Like the Koch brothers, the Mercer family and other conservative billionaires, Dunn and Wilks want to slash regulations and taxes. Their endgame, however, is more radical: not just to limit the government but also to steer it toward Christian rule. “It’s hard to think of other megafunders in the country as big on the theocratic end of the spectrum,” says Peter Montgomery, who oversees the Right Wing Watch project at People for the American Way, a progressive advocacy group.
Texas, which has few limits on campaign spending, is home to a formidable army of donors. Lately Dunn has outspent them all. Since 2000, he and his wife have given more than $29 million to candidates and PACs in Texas. Wilks and his wife, who have donated to many of the same PACs as Dunn, have given $16 million. Last year, Dunn and his associated entities provided two-thirds of the donations to the state Republican Party.
The duo’s ambitions extend beyond Texas. They’ve poured millions into “dark money” groups, which do not have to disclose contributors; conservative-media juggernauts (Wilks provided $4.7 million in seed capital to The Daily Wire, which hosts “The Ben Shapiro Show”); and federal races. Dunn’s $5 million gift to the Make America Great Again super PAC in December made him one of Donald Trump’s top supporters this election season, and he has quietly begun to invest in efforts to influence a possible second Trump administration, including several linked to Project 2025.
To emphasize the power of money to TPUSA, Robert Shillman showed Charlie Kirk he wasn’t fucking around with his loyalty to Israel just days before Kirk’s assassination by yanking some of that money, as reported by the Grayzone.
Catty-corner from the Freedom Center is the Pearson Building. According to a TPUSA insider, this structure was to be emblazoned with the name of one of Kirk’s largest and most committed backers, the tech mogul Robert Shillman. A pre-eminent funder of right-wing Zionist and anti-Muslim causes across the Atlantic, Shillman’s millions helped transform Kirk from a young age into one of Israel’s most effective gentile assets.
However, as Kirk drifted from the official, Netanyahu-enforced line on Israel in the past year, expressing frustration with onerous demands from Zionist donors and hosting the leading conservative critics of Israel at his TPUSA events, Shillman apparently grew resentful.
A TPUSA insider has told The Grayzone that Shillman recently cancelled plans to erect the plaque bearing his name inside the conservative organization’s office complex. Those who contribute $1 million or more to TPUSA become eligible for an honorary plaque, but Shillman’s donations were said to be considerably higher.
A decade before Charlie Kirk was assassinated, and five years before Robert McCoy came to Montana to do damage control for the Potter’s Field Ministry, the Wilks money was helping to establish McCoy and other men of the faith for political involvement, according to this Reuter’s article:
One Sunday two years ago, Pastor Rob McCoy, who believes in banning abortion and gay marriage and putting prayer back in schools, stood at the pulpit of his California mega church and announced he was endorsing a political candidate: himself.
“Every single person in this room has been inculcated and trained to think that any time a pastor opens his mouth to talk about politics from the pulpit, somehow that’s wrong,” said the 51-year-old McCoy. “You’ve been taught incorrectly. There should be no other place that you should speak of it but from the pulpit.”
McCoy lost his bid for the California State Assembly but, with the help of 650 volunteers, mostly from his church, he later won a seat on the Thousand Oaks, California, city council.
The shift to politics that McCoy represents got noticed by the billionaire class, who helped grease the wheels to maximize this new political influence with an organization called the American Renewal Project, where a Republican operative by the name of David Lane got down to work with thousands and thousands of pastors (and their wives) across the country:
In the runup to November 2016, Lane says he is holding conferences in hotels across the country nearly every week, bringing together thousands of far right pastors and their wives for two-day, all-expenses paid retreats. There are lectures on running political campaigns, turning out voters, and injecting sermons with a healthy dose of politics.
They are lessons pastors such as Beryl Amedee put into practice after attending one of the gatherings over the summer, where she learned how to deal with the media and fend off attacks on her religion. In November, Amedee won a seat as a Louisiana state representative, beating out an 8-year incumbent.
“In the 1970s, our attitude was, ‘We are not of this world, Jesus is coming, so why bother with government?’,” said Amedee. “Now, we know we are the government.”
Helping fund the events are political donors like the billionaire Wilks brothers, who have given up to $10 million according to sources close to the family. The Wilks, together with their wives, have also given $15 million to a Super PAC supporting the presidential campaign of Texas Senator Ted Cruz, a favorite of evangelicals.
What does this money buy? Does it buy weird opportunities for Robert McCoy to use his proximity to Hollywood stars, like Brittany Spears, through people that look more like mind-control handlers than managers?
Or maybe this billionaire Zionist Christian money trickles down to accomplish more practical things, like deploying the damage control services Robert McCoy brought to Montana to help quiet down what was emerging from Potter’s Field:
A new allegation against Potter’s Field Ministries founders Mike and Pam Rozell has surfaced from the owners of a Whitefish area ranch who claim the ministry leaders operated in bad faith and failed to make lease payments on the ranch property.
“They were the cause of our financial ruin,” said Amy Ericksen, who rented the property known as Potter’s Field Ranch—formerly the Whitefish Equestrian Center—to the Rozells from June 2018 to July 2019 when the ministry suddenly closed. amid allegations of abuse against interns.
“We suffered financially from their shenanigans and we still are suffering to this day.”
…
When the ministry came under fire for widespread abuse allegations, Ericksen said she was approached by Rob McCoy, who told her the ministry was shutting down, they were selling all of their properties and there was no money left to pay her. In 24 hours, and following a police raid on the ranch to check on the Potter’s Field interns, Ericksen hastily drew up the paperwork to terminate the lease, hoping to avoid any potential liability for wrongdoing that might have occurred at the ranch property and to recover any amount of money possible from her supposedly financially strapped lessee.
The key phrase in the above quote to consider is “abuse allegations” because I believe, due to the prevalence of “abuse allegations” from sex-trafficked victims across the globe, controlling (not helping) alleged abuse victims has become the BUSINESS INDUSTRY that many churches have allowed themselves to become a part of.
Now that I can see how Wilks cash has been sloshing around the Christian salvation-circuit for years, the Christian anti-trafficking LARP run by Lowell Hochhalter and family, called the LifeGuard Group, is making A LOT more sense…even their interest in horses and the trend of providing EQUESTRIAN THERAPY is coming into sharper focus!
As prey animals, horses have an awareness about the subtlest changes in their environment that makes them incredibly mindful of strong human emotions. Horses see insight into people in a way that people often do not see for themselves, which is why around one year ago, Kirsten Pabst decided to organize wellbeing workshops on her property in the Miller Creek area.
Pabst’s home, Sunridge Ranch, now acts as a wellbeing discovery center that offers a variety of workshops and events that promote team building, resilience and inspiration, and are aimed to reduce anxiety, burnout and feelings of being overwhelmed.
Kirsten Pabst? Yep, the former Queen Prosecutor of Missoula County, who started laying the ground work to play the victim card for prosecutors many years ago (covered here most recently last November), is finally cashing in on the vertical integration strategy for the predator class of running ALL the games in the abuse cycle, even the therapeutic recovery ones.
If you want to see a fictional depiction of this strategy at work, watch the movie Inherent Vice, where the problem of heroin junkies losing teeth is seen as an opportunity to infiltrate the dentist industry (didn’t Jeffrey Epstein pay for one of his girlfriend’s to attend dentist school? Yeah, he did).

Any little bit helps.
Tomorrow’s post will be a deft dismantling of a propaganda documentary about the Ravara housing development that I don’t have to see to know is propaganda, and it’s the kind of propaganda that a compromised media outlet, like the Montana Free Press, will happily amplify while conveniently forgetting to disclose their own close financial ties, so stay tuned!
And, as always, thanks for reading.
