The era of newspeople not asking questions brings on private citizens who go out and ask questions.

Instead of waiting for school teachers to teach about individual rights and limited government authority, waiting on the press to ask questions, or courts to handle cases, these guys go out and update us with a quick reality check.

These guys were also never waiting on the overthrow of Saddam Hussein or the take down of any other bad guy in distant lands, as DOD defends the constitution, etc.

Maybe they are tired of being lied to.

Public Records Request

It is very common that public offices in various states will say something like: Go to our website to submit your public records request online.

They would prefer the person with the camera leave the office as soon as possible.

It is common in various states that open records laws allow the public records request to be submitted in person orally or in writing and that the public records request may be made anonymously.

Public records laws set up an open door policy for people to go and interact in person with government offices and agencies during normal business hours at public offices.

Here is a large Seattle Times article on copper theft that makes zero mention of how the problem may tie into illegal drug culture.

Sound Transit still can’t prevent copper wire thefts that stop service

By Mike Lindblom

Seattle Times transportation reporter

Feb. 21, 2026

Other Sources

Other sources are OK with describing how drugs fit in here.

“Property crime feeds drug crime. Drug crime fuels more property crime. And the people running the city have spent years pretending these connections don’t matter.”

“We were told not to criminalize addiction, or over-police. Activists warned us not to prosecute unless absolutely necessary.”

Rantz: This Ballard copper theft shows how soft-on-crime Seattle really is

Jan 14, 2026, 8:00 AM

By Jason Rantz – Talk Show Host and Columnist at Seattle Red

 

Why Do Drug Addicts Steal Copper?

“Most of these crimes are driven by the high price of copper, and many are committed by people who are looking to sell the metal to support their drug habits.”

“Because copper is usually priced much higher than other metals, it is a well-desired and profitable metal for people looking to feed their drug addiction.”

Vietnam-Style Drug Boat Body Count Now At 145

US airstrikes on suspected drug trafficking boats kill 11 in one of the deadliest hits since Trump’s war on narco-terrorists started

By Wilko Martinez Cachero

Daily Mail

Feb 18, 2026

“The latest operation brings the reported death toll to at least 145 since the Trump administration launched its war against suspected drug trafficking boats in early September.”

The fantasy newsperson asks:

Are Seattle area drug addicts having any problem finding their cartel product of choice due to any federal drug war effort?

Has any US community announced that first responders are finding less need for Narcan, buprenorphine, Naloxone, fentanyl test strips, or any similar product used in overdose response situations?

Is there any possibility that any DEA office or DEA budget will be downsized due to the success of all US Dept. of Homeland Security/Dept. of War efforts in recent months?

The US Dept. of Homeland Security was established in 2002. This giant federal agency now has more than two decades of experience and lessons learned in working to prevent cartel product from entering the US. More overdose deaths now, or before DHS?

Has any community anywhere in the US downsized or shut down any local drug task force, or narcotics enforcement team due to the success of Dept. of War strikes on narcoterrorist drug boats, ICE crackdowns and designating cartels as terrorist organizations?

Why It Matters

Americans were told that they faced a life and death situation after 911. If certain actions were not taken, terrorists could come to America to disrupt our way of life and attempt another 911.

If all this was a life and death situation that required sending the troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, wouldn’t it be important to ask a few public policy questions about what was going on?

Decades after the lessons of Vietnam, it feels like the people who run the Pentagon specialize in undeclared/unwon wars. Is it understandable that young people and their parents and grandparents would take a dim view on all this?

Department of War & Armistice Day

In the 60s & 70s I never attended a Veterans Day assembly at school.

There were none.

Probably enough veterans around to remove most of the mystique, or maybe those veterans thought it was all just an average thing and did not want to be seen as a separate part of American society, or get head of the line parking spots over at the grocery store. Maybe the concept of Armistice Day had not gone completely extinct.

Growing up in the 60s & 70s- veterans were all around- church, school, Boy Scout leaders, family, the neighborhood, etc. It was all just an average thing. These folks weren’t seen as a separate part of American society.

People weren’t stepping over to say “Thanks for your service” to my Dad- who did time in the Navy in the 50s- but looked just like anyone else out in public.

These guys weren’t lining up for free dinner promotions marketed by major restaurant chains.

Decades after the lessons of Vietnam, the Pentagon seems to specialize in undeclared/unwon wars.

Veterans Day

One of the very most meaningful federal holidays for some. Stolen from Armistice Day in the 1950s. At that time, the US Dept. of Defense had started a decades long tradition of not being able to stay out of or win undeclared wars in distant lands.

It’s all about the freedom folks.

Sports Culture – What A Free And Independent Press looks Like

 

In The News

Brutal weekend for NFL officiating draws widespread scrutiny

by Grayce McCormick – The National News Desk

Mon, Dec 1, 2025

Think about American culture and sports. Americans know and care about the rules in sports. The rules are critical.

Coaches and quarterbacks face the press after every game and answer questions, win or lose.

No press secretary. No public relations spokesperson. No freedom of information act requests. No classified documents. Player stats and injury reports are always available.

Instant replays, commentary in the broadcast booth, analysis from network studios, sports talk radio, etc. Fans get tons of info all of the time. No chance for conspiracy theories to develop. Missed calls by NFL officials may be discussed for weeks on end. No such thing as: “We can’t comment on an ongoing investigation.” Instant replay is for all to see. Sports writers are OK with being critical of coaches, teams, players, the rule book, the league, referees, team owners, when the season starts and ends, etc. This is what a free and independent press looks like.

Coaches get fired for months of poor play.

Away From Sports Coverage

Newspeople and politicians are more about information suppression and not asking questions.

In recent years, the press tends to support government agencies, departments and policies rather than question them.

In government, it is fully understood that people will not have access to complete information through everyday channels.

Ever hear of a Freedom of Information Act Request in sports? How about a denied FOIA request?

Ever see a pro football coach or quarterback refer reporters to his press secretary for answers? Presidents do so on a daily basis. Professionals are hired to provide only the desired version of answers to questions.

Ever see a pro football coach or quarterback refer reporters to a public information officer for answers to questions?

Fake War on Terror – Borders Not Sealed

A fake War on Terror features a DEA that thrives on borders that are not sealed and the newspeople who avoid asking questions about all this.

The post 911 surveillance state (fusion centers, license scanners, Homeland Security grant money, monitoring of e-mails, text messages, & social media sites, no fly/terror watch lists, tracking of cell phones, best advances in REAL ID and AI technologies, etc.) fails to keep fentanyl out:

Fentanyl still flooding the Valley as DEA pushes for 0 deaths

by: Jorge Vela KVEO News

Dec 19, 2025

“The Drug Enforcement Agency has launched a new nationwide initiative called Fentanyl Free America, aiming for zero deaths from the deadly synthetic drug as fentanyl seizures continue to rise across the country.”

“Fentanyl was also recently designated a weapon of mass destruction, a move that expands the DEA’s authority to combat trafficking.”

“Dr. Melendez said illegal fentanyl is now the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 45.”

Love to see newspeople ask:

More overdose deaths now, or before the giant and expensive US Dept. of Homeland Security was created back in 2002?

Texas Again – Dec 23, 2025

At least 16 files have disappeared from the DOJ webpage for documents related to Jeffrey Epstein

“A search of his residence yielded large quantities of drugs, drug paraphernalia indicative of sales, 10 firearms, and several hundred rounds of ammunition.”

 

Real newspeople may ask:

What is the unit of measure for large quantities of drugs?

What sort of drugs were involved here?

Why does it matter?

The Drug War is based on public policy.

What methods are working? What methods are failing?

Anytime there is a plane crash- a thorough investigation takes place. Lessons learned are used to prevent future accidents.

Was the aircraft fueled with opioids before it crashed? Was it running on meth?

Being better informed may help families to keep each other safe.

Press Release Style Of News Reporting

In recent years, the press tends to support government agencies, departments and policies rather than question them.

Love to see newspeople out asking questions.

What we get now is sort of a press release style of news reporting where a statement is prepared by whatever agency was involved in the latest policy update, drug bust/federal grant money award, etc.

Newspeople post this statement as is. A 5th grade book report would require more in the way of asking questions.

The press has failed.

Over the past 35 years or so, newspeople have failed in their role of investigating and asking questions related to public policy.

In a free and honest society, newspeople would ask questions.

JFK speaks about the role of the press and voices of dissent in a free society:

More Questions

Is Kristi Noem’s giant and expensive US Dept. of Homeland Security completely irrelevant here?

Has the US Dept. of Homeland Security ever created any shortage of cartel product anywhere in the US?

Are the efforts of any federal agency or department causing local drug addicts to have any problem finding their cartel product of choice?

Is the Seattle fentanyl supply any different today than under Biden?

Any questions from newspeople?

Love To See Newspeople Ask:

Has any US community announced that local drug addicts are having any problem finding their cartel product of choice due to the Dept. of War Vietnam-style body count of 2025:

4 killed in latest US strike on alleged drug boat in Eastern Pacific: Hegseth
This marks the 14th such strike carried out by the U.S. since Sept. 2.

ByLuis Martinez and Meredith Deliso

ABC News – Oct 29, 2025,

“Overall, this marks the 14th such strike carried out by the U.S. since the attacks began on Sept. 2, targeting alleged drug boats in the Pacific and Caribbean and killing more than 60 people total.”

What US community will be first to announce that first responders are finding less need for Narcan, buprenorphine, Naloxone, fentanyl test strips, or any similar product used in overdose response situations?

Did the big US Dept. of Homeland Security crackdown of 2025 create any shortage of cartel product anywhere in the US. It’s had more than six months now to deliver results.

Homeland Security Is Ineffective In The Drug War

More than six months back, Kristi Noem deployed her ass kicking drug war road show.

March 20, 2025

Public Affairs efforts commence – the word goes out.

Cartels have been placed on notice.

Secretary of Homeland Security delivers no nonsense statements in the March 20, 2025 video posted below.

Tough Talk Before The Epstein Files Flip Flop

Below:

Pam Bondi and Kash Patel speak with confidence back before the flip flop on the Epstein files release.

All is well.

High levels of confidence in this businesslike event. Unfortunately, questions from the press were not picked up in the audio below.

April 9, 2025

The claim:

At 5:00 in the video above, the FBI director clams that various federal agencies will “…get all the drugs off the streets…”

“Almost 45,00 pounds of pure, uncut cocaine were seized and 3,800 pounds of marijuana, Bondi said.”

Under Kristi Noem

Cartels move product into all 50 states.

DEA High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas:

“…HIDTA-designated counties are located in 50 states…”

Welcome Home Troops. Thanks for doing time/risking your ass in Iraq and Afghanistan, working to keep a post 911 USA safe & secure.

Don’t worry-The Super Bowl and public affairs will be safe:

The Northwest High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area chases after cartel product not stopped at the border by Kristi Noem.

Will Northwest HIDTA be shut down when cartel drugs stop entering the US? Have recent US Dept. of Homeland Security efforts reduced the need for Northwest HIDTA services?

Any questions from newspeople?

Across The Nation

If you are on the Kristi Noem team, you are out kicking ass.

If you are part of a local drug task force, or narcotics enforcement team, you are advertising the latest big drug bust after cartel product is able to move past the jurisdiction of federal agents at borders, border crossings and ports of entry, REAL ID checks and a barrier of DOD ground units, US Navy and US Coast Guard vessels prior to arriving in Hometown, USA.

If you are part of the DEA, you may hope for limited success coming from the Trump/Noem team because what would you do with yourself if cartel drugs could no longer enter the US? Please let us know when Seattle area drug addicts have any difficulty finding their cartel product of choice.

If you are part of a local health dept. you are handing out Naloxone as always, to deal with the stuff that doesn’t get reported in the big local drug bust.

If you are part of DOD you avoid barracks maintenance in order to pay for sending The Troops three states over to secure the border while failing to manage federal contracts related to TRICARE.

When all US efforts fail to create any shortage of cartel product anywhere in the US:

Blame Mexico. Or, blame Canada.

A giant flag ritual at the next ball game will make it all good.

Old Drug War – Cartels Respond & Move More Product Into The US

Did General Milley’s Operation Macho Swagger ever reduce access to cartel product anywhere in the US?

When is the last time DOD/DHS was able to create any shortage of cartel product in the Puget Sound area?

Has there been enough time for newspeople to ask questions?

Here is a local TV news video that may give a bad impression related to operating a camera in a public place:

The Oak Bay Starfish Take

The press has failed.

Over the past 35 years or so, newspeople have failed in their role of investigating and asking questions related to public policy.

In a free and honest society, newspeople would ask questions.

In recent years, the press tends to support government agencies, departments and policies rather than question them.

The era of newspeople not asking questions brings on private citizens who go out and ask questions.

 

School teachers have failed.

School teachers have failed in their role to teach about basic individual rights and limited government authority. If school teachers and the press did a proper job informing citizens on public photography, it would be seen as a much less controversial act.

My favorite public photography folks are polite, well-behaved, and tend to be quiet, or almost silent. Videos recorded at or outside of sites that are funded by the public seem to be best for documenting these issues.

The press is free to go and interview the people who have posted the public photography videos below.

School teachers are free to find the best of public photography videos and make lessons of them in class.

A Few Examples To Learn From

HonorYourOath Civil Rights Investigations

Public Records Request

It is very common that public offices in various states will say something like: Go to our website to submit your public records request online.

They would prefer the person with the camera leave the office as soon as possible.

It is common in various states that open records laws allow the public records request to be submitted in person orally or in writing and that the public records request may be made anonymously.

Public records laws set up an open door policy for people to go and interact in person with government offices and agencies during normal business hours at public offices.

Group identities, brand names, labels and personalities are things I don’t feel connected with. To me, it’s more about what you believe in.

It feels like a society where honest and meaningful ideas stand up to questioning and discussion, but the questioning and discussion rarely takes place.

 

“But it was the senior protesters who really got to me. I can’t imagine what it must be like to be of a generation whose parents endured or fought in World War II, to see where we’re headed right now, and to be all too aware that you may not be around before we know if we’re going to get out of this. I can’t imagine facing the end of life with the worry that your grandkids won’t inherit the birthright for which your parents fought and sacrificed.”

Law enforcement seizes over 50,000 carfentanil pills bound for Puget Sound region

By Joshua Solorzano

The Courier-Herald

Sept 25, 2025

“A Pacific man, whose drugs are tied to the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion, was caught with over 50,000 pills whose only active ingredient is carfentanil, a synthetic opioid that is 100 times stronger than fentanyl.”

“According to the DEA, local law enforcement and first responders have seen an increase in carfentanil in the illicit drug market, and the King County Medical Examiner’s Office reports six carfentanil-related overdoses in 2024 and four so far in 2025.”

Reaction Mode:

“Reames said that the DEA tied this batch of seized carfentanil pills to the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG), so they are now making an effort against that cartel. Reames said the route that starts in Mexico, making their way over the Mexico border, to Arizona and then up to Washington state, is a common route.”

Charlie Kirk: What Really Happened?
By Donald Jeffries
“I Protest”
September 18, 2025

“Unlike any member of our “free press,” I’ve actually attempted to look into the logistics of the shooting. You know, the evidence. That’s what they should be doing, of course, but we know they aren’t allowed to investigate anything of substance, and someone has to do it.”

“The arrest of Tyler Robinson, a twenty two year old apparent incel, was breathlessly announced by our state controlled media.”

“As always, because these events are never properly investigated, internet sleuths, and Thought Criminals like me, will ask uncomfortable questions.”

“It’s bad enough that we have to work around a state controlled press that won’t ask any pertinent questions, and law enforcement that can’t or won’t actually investigate honestly, we now have to deal with the AI craziness, where a picture or even a video that looks entirely realistic can be created to portray whatever you desire.”

“…I say if you don’t want speculation- responsible or reckless- then come up with better narratives. Your stories are absolutely ridiculous. We have been lied to about everything. We have no good reason to believe anything you say.”

Just Be Honest

This could be a slogan for government to live by, no matter what political party or personality is in power.

The US federal government has been involved in decades of various events where records were sealed or redacted and files were kept secret.

As the years went by, the public found out they were lied to.

Federal credibility is squandered over a period of decades. Now, people are scolded for wanting to be honestly informed on government activities. Well done. Something to get proud about.

Don’t lie to people and maybe they would be more patriotic.

Apply this same curiosity and desire for knowledge to some controversial topics and you’ll be labeled a conspiracy theorist.

Why the effort to suppress questions?

In recent years, the press tends to support government agencies, departments and policies rather than question them.

Alternative media is OK with asking questions.

Just Be Honest

This could be a slogan for government to live by, no matter what political party or personality is in power.

The US federal government has been involved in decades of various events where records were sealed or redacted and files were kept secret.

As the years went by, the public found out they were lied to.

Federal credibility is squandered over a period of decades. Now, people are scolded for wanting to be honestly informed on government activities. Well done. Something to get proud about.

Don’t lie to people and maybe they would be more patriotic.

Unlike many local newspapers, alternative media is good about maintaining open and active comment sections. Several comments are posted with the video above.

GWOT – Dropped Out Of The News

Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said was the subject of a major War on Terror bust earlier this year.

Any questions from newspeople?

He did time in the National Guard and had moved on with that part of his life by age 19. How did he manage to do that?

Where did he go to high school?

Where was he living and working in recent years?

What National Guard unit was he in?

Did he have any previous criminal record?

Did he complete any overseas deployments?

What was his job training?

Zero questions from newspeople?

Seems like someone involved in a major crime like a mass casualty shooting, etc. will have some details of their life reported on by the press.

Here is an example:

Elimination Of Local News Reader Comments

Elimination of reader comments works against the idea of paying for an online subscription.

Years ago, I lived in several different small town areas. Places like Kingston, Port Hadlock and north of Penn Cove.

These areas had small, local newspapers and those papers featured active, online comment sections. Paying for a newspaper subscription was OK with me. There were basic rules for commenting, but it did not seem to matter what name people went by. I never cared.

I used to love the comment sections.

Local papers have stripped away all comments from past articles, and removed the opportunity to post comments to new articles.

Various newspapers in the Puget Sound area have gone with this trend.

Suppressing comments, getting away from asking questions related to public policy and telling us they need more support in the form of grant money, subscription and advertising sales, etc.

Got it.

 

People who take no public funds, private donations or advertising dollars are free to ask questions at any time. Why not the press? Call for unpaid volunteers and you’d get better news coverage than what we have now.

Operating A Camera In A Public Place

 

Love to see newspeople out asking questions.

What we get now is sort of a press release style of news reporting where a statement is prepared by whatever agency was involved in the latest policy update, drug bust/federal grant money award, etc.

Newspeople post this statement as is. A 5th grade book report would require more in the way of asking questions.

JFK speaks about the role of the press and voices of dissent in a free society:

The era of newspeople not asking questions brings on private citizens who go out and ask questions.

Instead of waiting for school teachers to teach about individual rights and limited government authority, waiting on the press to ask questions, or courts to handle cases, these guys go out and update us with a quick reality check.

These guys were also never waiting on the overthrow of Saddam Hussein or the take down of any other bad guy in distant lands, as DOD defends the constitution, etc.

Freedom of speech and the federal government role at the university:

Violent protest, threats of violence and property damage are not to be tolerated.

Ditto for blocking access to facilities or businesses.

It seems like government should be neutral on people who are questioning/protesting US government or foreign government policies.

To me, it’s sort of like speaking out against US COVID policies.

Public Records Request

It is very common that public offices in various states will say something like: Go to our website to submit your public records request online.

They would prefer the person with the camera leave the office as soon as possible.

It is common in various states that open records laws allow the public records request to be submitted in person orally or in writing and that the public records request may be made anonymously.

Public records laws set up an open door policy for people to go and interact in person with government offices and agencies during normal business hours at public offices.
