“The idea of creating the designated area was in response to community and business owners’ concerns after police documented an increase in illegal drug activity in the business district on the south side of the city, said Chief of Police Tony Slowik.”

Looks like Kristi Noem’s giant and expensive US Dept. of Homeland Security, the 2025 Vietnam-style drug boat body count, and massing US Border Patrol agents at the southern edge of the Strait of Juan de Fuca fail to keep drugs from arriving in Oak Harbor.

Love to see newspeople ask:

Has the Island County Homeland Security-funded patrol boat been involved in any arrest or seizure related in any way to the US/Canada border?

Federal grant money goes to “…gain a better grasp on cross border activity and to prevent illegal crossings.”

When is the last time the Island County Homeland Security-funded patrol boat made any seizure that kept any amount of fentanyl, heroin or any opioid from entering Island County?

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.

The press has failed.

Big Homeland Security Budgets

December 5, 2025 //

Both major political parties are good with big US Dept. of Homeland Security spending.

The rare voice of dissent:

Cartel Drugs

Federal and local agencies are quick to advertise when they make a big drug bust. For federal agencies these drug seizures may happen inside or outside of the US.

For local agencies (any local drug task force, or narcotics enforcement team) these drug busts involve cartel product not stopped at the border by Kristi Noem or eliminated by ongoing 2025 Vietnam-style drug boat body count ops.

Federal agencies are quick to brag about how many tons of product have been seized in recent years or months. The press plays along by posting press releases created by these agencies.

The Press Is Weak

Are newspeople forbidden to ask questions related to Homeland Security funding and performance?

Newspeople avoid asking:

Have large drug seizures inside or outside the US caused Seattle area drug addicts to have any problem finding their cartel product of choice?

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?

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

Is the fentanyl supply anywhere in the US different today because cartels have been designated as terrorist organizations?

Those who did may have wished to hand down a better version of the modern American society to their kids and grandkids.

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.

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.

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.

Armed Forces Recruiting Crisis

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

Understandable why young people & their parents & grandparents would take a dim view on all this. Continuing on this path will wear down the energy American families once had for encouraging young people to enlist.

There has been good news for recruiting recently after standards were modified to create a prep course category for training recruits.

Our take:

The US should maintain strong and ready military forces.

Some will say obese teens and young adults are to blame for the big recruiting crisis.

Thousands of young, intelligent and athletic Americans participate in college athletics each year. Certainly, they would qualify to enlist- no rehab/prep program required.

Why are these people not showing up at the recruiting office?

Any questions from newspeople?

National Guard

National Guard recruiting would be tricky.

Recruiters are looking for people who will need to maintain a place to live and a regular job in their hometown area when they are not doing time in foreign lands helping DOD with undeclared/unwon wars and missions completely unrelated to their home state.

A few decades back, people might think of the National Guard as one weekend a month and two weeks in the summer plus a way to support your home state by being ready to get called out for floods, fires, natural disasters, civil unrest, etc. Maybe a way to help the next state over if they needed it.

Thousands of men and women who signed up for the National Guard in the past 25 years did tours in places like Syria, Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kosovo.

Would any newsperson ever ask:

Why do the people of Home State, USA need services in distant lands, absent any military emergency, national emergency, draft, or declaration of war?

The US should maintain strong and ready military forces.

Look for newspeople and school teachers to ask zero questions in this area:

How Do The Troops Defend The Constitution?

Not asking about the oath of enlistment. Asking about what happens after the oath has been taken.

Love to see newspeople interview elected officials and let us know how sending US Troops to Syria, Lebanon, Somalia, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia, etc., is somehow defending the constitution.

US downsizing Iraq presence to focus on ‘potential resurgence’ of ISIS in Syria

Cybele Mayes-Osterman

USA TODAY Oct 1, 2025

“The U.S. is downsizing its military presence in Iraq this year and will refocus its fight against ISIS in Syria.”

Armed Forces Recruiting Crisis

It Turns Out The Military’s Biden-Era Recruitment Crisis Was A Leadership Problem After All

BY: SHAWN FLEETWOOD

The Federalist – Oct 1, 2025

Our take:

Good news on recruiting, but the article leaves out any updates on what stays the same no matter who the commander-in-chief/POTUS is.

The US should maintain strong and ready military forces.

Some will say obese teens and young adults are to blame for the big recruiting crisis. Thousands of young, intelligent and athletic Americans participate in college athletics each year. Certainly, they would qualify to enlist- no rehab/prep program required.

Why are these people not showing up at the recruiting office?

Any questions from newspeople?

Thousands of American families have now had a loved one who did one or more tours in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Various family generations speak with each other.

Will they encourage new enlistments?

Decades after the lessons of Vietnam, the Pentagon seems to specialize in undeclared/unwon wars. Understandable why young people & their parents & grandparents would take a dim view on all this. Continuing on this path will wear down the energy American families once had for encouraging young people to enlist.

Never Forget-

The US Dept. of Defense was irrelevant in defending American rights and freedoms, our physical security, & The Constitution on 911.

Ditto for all other federal agencies and departments.

Any college or pro football coach would have been fired a dozen times over for what DOD has done with the US Armed Forces during the fake GWOT era.

Stop With The Lies About Freedom

Simple question:

Going back to the 1991 Operation Desert Storm

How would American rights and freedoms and the Constitution be any different today if US troops were never sent to Iraq?

Look for newspeople and school teachers to ask zero questions in this area.

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

Both major parties are OK with federal prohibition of alcohol and tobacco for adults age 18-20.

No such thing the day I graduated from high school.

That was before decades of military operations for your freedoms.

Both major political parties are now OK with treating 18-20 year old adults as second-class citizens.

Good luck with your US Armed Forces recruiting crisis.

Just Be Honest

Elected officials and high level DOD civilians speak of the US Armed Forces as if they function as some sort of giant civil rights organization.

The press plays along by not asking questions.

The post 911 era has been a time to tell the American people that US troops are sent to distant lands to defend American freedoms. This urban legend has run its course. People have seen enough now to know this is no more than a marketing strategy. Uniparty newspeople play along by not asking questions:

The idea that the US Armed Forces are sent to distant lands to defend American rights and freedoms is repeated many times over.

The reality is that American freedoms may come and go and appear to be completely unrelated to military operations/US Troops in distant lands, or the Sound of Freedom over Coupeville.

Mayor Day,

While the troops were deployed, federal law was signed prohibiting the sale of tobacco products to adults age 18-20.

Can you help us to understand the militarized version of freedom here?

Failed Drug War – Carfentanil

September 27, 2025 //

Kristi Noem’s giant and expensive US Dept. of Homeland Security appears to be completely irrelevant here:

In The News

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.”

Big Drug War

As always, newspeople play along by not asking questions.

Well done.

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

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.

When is the last time the Port Angeles Border Patrol made any seizure that kept any amount of fentanyl, heroin or any opioid from entering Clallam County?

Were Clallam County drug overdose death numbers higher before the US Dept. of Homeland Security was established (2002) or are the numbers higher with a $51.6 billion (every 12 months) US Dept. of Homeland Security in place? 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?

The era of newspeople not asking questions

September 22, 2025 //

The era of newspeople not asking questions brings on alternative media and private citizens who step up to ask questions.

This era goes back through the decades, back before Trump came on the scene to threaten FCC action against networks sending unapproved messages:

GWOT, sending The Troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, etc.

If elected officials tried to justify this with claims that it was for the purpose of defending American rights and freedoms, why did no newsperson anywhere stick their hand in the air and ask for clarification on this?

Why do elected officials and high level DOD civilians speak of the US Armed Forces as if they function as some sort of giant civil rights organization? Any questions from newspeople?

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

Today

Alternative media is still good about asking questions and maintaining open and active comment sections. Several comments are posted with the video below.

Liberty Vault

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.

Conspiracy Theory?

Best case scenario- elected officials, public agencies, & a free and independent press work together to keep people informed.

Asking for clarification/better info is not the same as offering up any sort of conspiracy theory.

More information is better- this is how science and medicine works.

Over the years, some people have been freed from prison based on new DNA evidence becoming available.

Are the people who took steps to discover that new evidence conspiracy theorists?

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?

“President Donald Trump said the U.S. military on Monday again targeted a boat allegedly carrying drugs from Venezuela, killing three aboard the vessel, and hinted that the military targeting of cartels could be further expanded.”

“The strike was carried out nearly two weeks after another military strike on what the Trump administration said was a drug-carrying speedboat from Venezuela that killed 11.”

Asked what proof the U.S. has that the vessel was carrying drugs, Trump replied, “We have proof. All you have to do is look at the cargo that was spattered all over the ocean — big bags of cocaine and fentanyl all over the place.”
