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.
“President Donald Trump said Thursday that regulators should consider revoking the licenses of broadcasters who air negative coverage or commentary of him…”
“Carr told CNBC that holding a broadcast license is a privilege. “It comes with an obligation to serve the public interest,” he said.”

JFK speaks of presidential leadership and the role of the press in a free society.
Americans do not live in a free and honest society.
“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.
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.
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.
“Grays Harbor Sheriff’s Office A search at this home in Hoquiam resulted in the seizure of 29.5 grams of meth and 5 grams of fentanyl.”
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.
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?
Zero questions from small or large newspapers. Zero questions from TV newspeople.

Drive down to the former public parking area at Damon Point and see what Westport would look like today if efforts to maintain the coast were suspended decades ago.
At one time this location featured the Silver King Motel and the Marina View Restaurant next to the marina. Also, a grocery store, charter boat fishing, a boat lift and room to tie up 200 small boats.

More alternative media:
Unlike many local newspapers, alternative media is good about maintaining open and active comment sections. Several comments are posted with the video above.
In recent years, the press tends to support government agencies, departments and policies rather than question them.
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.
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.
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:
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.
“I think the numbers that you are seeing right now are proof that once we are allowed to do the job that we are hired to do and fulfill the oaths that we took – we can get the job done, and we are getting the job done,” Vasquez said. “Border Patrol agents are out there doing the job every day to provide the American people with what they’ve asked for, which is a secure border.”
Well done guys.

In terms of fentanyl supply, is Seattle any different today than it was under Biden?
“Free nasal naloxone is available at all branch locations while supplies last. Fentanyl test strips are also available at the main downtown branch.”
“The library receives around 500 to 800 naloxone kits each month to distribute, depending on patron interest.”
“Naloxone is used to reverse an opioid overdose, including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioid medications. Naloxone is safe, works almost immediately, and is not addictive, according to medical professionals.”
“Fentanyl test strips can detect the presence of fentanyl in different kinds of drugs. They provide people who use drugs with information about fentanyl in the illegal drug supply so they can take steps to reduce the risk of overdose.”

Questions That Went Unasked
Is the fentanyl situation in WA any different today than it was under Biden?
What role does the US Dept. of Homeland Security play in preventing cartel product from arriving in the Puget Sound area?
Have efforts made by the Secretary of Homeland Security in recent months created any shortage of fentanyl in the Puget Sound area?
Are Puget Sound area first responders finding any less need for Narcan, buprenorphine, Naloxone, fentanyl test strips, or any similar product used in overdose response situations?

Did the use of DOD ground units and US Navy assets create any shortage of cartel product in the Puget Sound area?
Has the good work of the K9 teams contributed to any shortage of cartel product in the Puget Sound area?
Well done on the operation below.
US Dept. of Homeland Security played no role in preventing cartel product from arriving in Washington State?
Drug gangs in WA have no cartel product to work with until that 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.

Well done.
Announcing the number of DOD ground units, US Navy and US Coast Guard vessels sent towards the US/Mexico border demonstrates a sense of commitment.
“Kansas City-area first responders say they have had to administer multiple doses, and sometimes insert an IV of Narcan, just to give patients a chance until they arrive at an emergency room.”

Keeping Cartels Out
The giant US Dept. of Homeland Security has more than two decades of experience and lessons learned in trying to keep cartel product from arriving in the US.
The US Dept. of Homeland Security was established in 2002.

Has any US presidential administration since that time been able to use DHS to create any shortage of cartel product anywhere in the US?
When will Seattle area drug addicts have any difficulty finding their cartel product of choice.
When will Puget Sound area first responders find any less need for Narcan, buprenorphine, Naloxone, fentanyl test strips, or any similar product used in overdose response situations.
No matter what elected officials have decided to do Re: enabling drug use in WA, a $51.6 billion (every 12 months) US Dept. of Homeland Security has been on the job in recent years.

“…TSA PreCheck Touchless ID, a separate lane from regular PreCheck that uses facial recognition to verify your identity at the airport. Instead of handing their IDs over to a Transportation Security Administration officer to verify their identity, travelers who opt in to the expedited security program instead pause to scan their face, then keep moving.”
We were told:
Life and death GWOT scenarios required thousands of US troops to do one or more tours in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Potential threats required TSA protocols to be put in place at the airport after 911.
In a real War on Terror, newspeople would ask questions about the various mixed messages served up by the federal government.
Mainstream TV newspeople will avoid interviewing people who have questions Re: Security Theater.
Out at the airport, real newspeople may ask:
What keeps the terrorists of the GWOT from creating a disruption at the back end of the airport security screening line?
Guaranteed: No TV newsperson anywhere will ever ask this question. Americans do not live in a free and honest society.
Imagine the TV newsperson, on camera, escorting the TSA official all the way to the back of the “be sure to arrive early line” and asking what keeps the bad guys from creating a disruption at that point.
Above: Aug 9, 2025. We are looking across the entrance to Grays Harbor from Oyhut Wildlife Recreation Area. Westport Jetty is in the distance. The failed 1916 jetty is seen closer to shore. The crumbling jetty is a happy summer spot for pelicans and runs from the water treatment plant to the old marina site at Ocean Shores.
Below: July 6th, 2024. Looking over the jetty that connects to Damon Point on the far end. We are near the end of the jetty adjacent to the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Click image once or twice to show detail.
Zero questions from small or large newspapers. Zero questions from TV newspeople.
Drive down to the former public parking area at Damon Point and see what Westport would look like today if efforts to maintain the coast were suspended decades ago.
Zero Questions From Newspeople:
When and why was a decision made to turn away from maintaining the 1916 jetty adjacent to former public parking areas at Damon Point?
Is the jetty adjacent to Damon Point the only section of jetty in Grays Harbor that has gone without maintenance since it was first installed?
What would Westport look like if efforts to maintain the coast were suspended?
Funding Priorities
In recent years, the federal government has prioritized big cash for Ukraine, bombing the Middle East and conducting airstrikes on Somalia. The big mystery is the $6.3 million for the used Ocean Shores hotel. Seems like leaders from all layers of government would have been interested in this story and that local people and the general public would have wanted to be informed on how all this came together. Newspeople would not have needed to travel to foreign lands to interview all the players involved.
Today’s American culture is truly weak in terms of newspeople asking questions.

Significant History
1916 – Jetty adjacent to the former public parking area at Damon Point is installed. Apparently, no maintenance has been done on this part of the jetty since 1916.
It’s a society where 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 idea that the US Armed Forces are sent to distant lands to defend American rights and freedoms is repeated many times over
The press plays along by not asking questions.
Sending The Troops to Iraq and Afghanistan placed people into a life and death situation. 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?
Several news sources published this quote. View them here.
The idea that sending hometown troops to Africa would be linked in any way with keeping the people of Salisbury Maryland safe and free calls for more discussion.
Mayor Day,
While the troops were deployed, federal law was signed prohibiting the sale of tobacco products to adults age 18-20.
Can elected officials of any party or any member of the press help us to understand the militarized version of freedom here?
American freedoms come and go. None of the above are linked in any way with The Joint Chiefs of Staff, The Troops, The Dept. of Defense, the outcome of military operations overseas or jet noise over Coupeville.
Look for newspeople and school teachers to ask zero questions in this area:
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.
My understanding is that Seafair goes back to the Cold War era and is brought to you by a giant defense contractor.
They can probably find a large number of veterans who will say that the show brings the Sound of Freedom.
It feels like a society where honest and meaningful ideas stand up to questioning and discussion, but the questioning and discussion rarely takes place.
Would any newsperson ever ask:
Did the advantage of US air power allow the undeclared wars in Iraq or Afghanistan to be prevented, won or shut down?
US jet aircraft have been able to strike targets in what wars won by the US?

Real Newspeople May Ask:
Is the cartel drug situation in Seattle any different today than it was under Biden?
Seattle leadership does not control border security. A giant and expensive US Dept. of Homeland Security is in place to handle that. DHS is now backed up by DOD on this.
Cartel drugs arriving on the streets of Seattle were not stopped at the border by best federal efforts and the latest advancements in REAL ID.
What part of the drug war is working? What part is failing?
By Andrew Constantino
Special to The Seattle Times
“We need to talk about Little Saigon — particularly the intersection of 12th Avenue and Jackson Street.”
“Allow me to offer a glimpse of what is happening there: Addicts and dealers, housed and unhoused, of all ages and ethnicities, congregate to buy, sell, use and share the most deadly synthetic drugs on our streets, such as fentanyl, tranq (xylazine, a sedative) and meth. They support their addiction and fuel the drug market by selling stolen goods, often openly displayed on the street.”
“The stop-and-go traffic for the drug activity at these vehicles is constant,” Radischat said. “We’ve held up our end of the bargain by reporting it to no avail. Literally – we’ve had enough.”
“Free nasal naloxone is available at all branch locations while supplies last. Fentanyl test strips are also available at the main downtown branch.”
“The library receives around 500 to 800 naloxone kits each month to distribute, depending on patron interest.”

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 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 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.
“These people would risk the lives and safety of hundreds of people also so they can get a few bucks to feed their habit.”
Readers refer to a demand for cash to support a drug habit. Newspeople never seem to want to ask questions or investigate and inform the pubic on which drug war tactics are working and which are failing.
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.) appears to have played no role in preventing these crimes:

From comments:
“You wanted to allow uncontrolled drug use, this is how you get to live. Absolutely zero sympathy”
The Oak Bay Starfish take:
No matter what elected officials have decided to do Re: enabling drug use in WA, a $51.6 billion (every 12 months) US Dept. of Homeland Security has been on the job in recent years.
People will say Biden turned his back on border security. Let’s go with that.
Those days are over now.
The US Dept. of Homeland Security was established in 2002.
Love to see newspeople ask:
Has any US presidential administration since that time been able to use DHS to create any shortage of cartel product anywhere in the US?
By Thomas Novelly , Konstantin Toropin , Steve Beynon and Drew F. Lawrence
“The Pentagon has already moved to gut $1 billion from the Army’s budget to maintain its facilities, including living quarters for junior troops that for years have suffered from dilapidated conditions.”
“The raiding of Army facilities money sparked bipartisan ire on Capitol Hill, with lawmakers asking Army officials during a June budget hearing about the effects on soldiers’ quality of life.”
Here at Oak Bay Starfish, we are looking for newspeople to let us know when Puget Sound area drug addicts have any difficulty in finding their cartel product of choice.
We are looking for real newspeople to let us know when local health departments see a reduced need to hand out Naloxone.
Standard driver’s licenses have not been accepted at border crossings and ports of entry since 2009. What got better? Any questions from newspeople?
Out at the airport, real newspeople may ask:
What keeps the terrorists of the GWOT from creating a disruption at the back end of the airport security screening line?
Guaranteed: No TV newsperson anywhere will ever ask this question. Americans do not live in a free and honest society.
Imagine the TV newsperson, on camera, escorting the TSA official all the way to the back of the “be sure to arrive early line” and asking what keeps the bad guys from creating a disruption at that point.
The mainstream media functions like paid actors reading a script.
Over and again- Newspeople play the role of federal public affairs staff instead of asking questions.
Every year is the same. Similar cheerful video, no mater where you are in the USA.
No voices of dissent. No passengers with questions about security theater will ever make it on air.
TV newspeople interviewing each other:
Travelers who ask no questions make it on air:
Security At Washington State Ferry Terminals
A state-run media report from June, 2012-
This video tells us that security personal are on site every day-at 2:56
Maybe security personnel are present at some specific terminal each day. Dozens of round trip crossings from various terminals indicate that in many cases-no security screening takes place prior to boarding ferries.
Washington State ferry passengers are advised via PA system not to leave backpacks or packages unattended during ferry crossings.
Meanwhile-on the car deck-cars, trucks, vans, commercial vehicles, etc. are left unattended during ferry crossings.
I have made dozens of round trip ferry crossings over the past 20 years. In many cases, there has been no security screening at either terminal.
It feels like a society where honest and meaningful ideas stand up to questioning and discussion, but the questioning and discussion rarely takes place.
The War on Terror has prompted elected officials and law enforcement authorities to calm the public by looking into the future and announcing that no credible threat exists.
Newspeople play along by not asking questions.
If the good guys can tell what the bad guys will do before they do it-surely, these powerful crime fighting tools will be used to shut down gang and cartel activity, fentanyl trafficking, bank robberies, mass casualty shootings, etc.
Highest level LE authorities/US Dept. of Homeland Security and the FBI played no role in preventing the “horrific act of terrorism” in New Orleans.
Now, they are ready to say there is no credible threat once again:
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.) appears to have played no role in preventing these crimes:

When there is a sense of confidence, authorities will share good news in the war on terror:
“A former Michigan Army National Guard member is accused of attempting to carry out a mass shooting at a U.S. military base in Warren, Michigan, on behalf of the terrorist organization ISIS.”

Sorry, no time for newspeople to ask what sort of drugs were involved here.
What part of the drug war is working? What part is failing?
What can people learn from this in order to keep themselves safe?
Love to see newspeople 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 in a free society:
“First came the federalization of the National Guard, deployed to California in response to protests sparked by violent and aggressive Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids across the country. Then, just days later, the president is set to preside over a lavish, taxpayer-funded military parade in the nation’s capital.”
“These two events bookend the administration’s unmistakable message: dissent will be crushed, and power will be performed.”
