Saving Face?
The popular theory out there is that the Prosecution in Werner’s case, instead of admitting they were wrong, it was a mistake and owning that a grave injustice has been done to Werner Kunkel, they are instead pursuing against the evidence and the facts, to have him convicted of the murder they know he did not commit -–– that they are doing this to “save face”.
I have a different take on all this. (You knew I would). You don’t double down on the biggest, most glaring mistake of your history in order to save face. You admit your mistake, like an adult and a person of integrity, and you make amends. But in this case, I see them as trying to save a different part of their anthropomorphic anatomy. They are stalling because the consequences now that this has been uncovered, are an even bigger scandal: The horrific murder of Gilbert Fassett remains unsolved and needs to be investigated, not shrugged off. Unless you think someone who stabs a man over 100 times, is probably a one off and not worth the time and expense of investigating.
The other part of this scandal is the way the rules of procedure were deliberately violated, and there’s a real possibility it was neither the first nor the last time that office, run by Lonnie Olson, violated Brady Rules or other procedures to convict an innocent person in order to gain political points and perhaps allies who could enhance their portfolio or career or whatever the payoff was.
You don’t double down on a foul smell by attempting to continue to crap on the court and the wrongfully convicted.
My take on this is that they are stalling hoping for a situation that will nullify the process, and there’s probably a lot of people still alive who have much to lose if the murder investigation is reopened at a much higher level, revealing the real murderer(s) and more dark, sticky, aspects that will affect the entire system, exposing the corruption in its depth and duration.
So, regardless, I don’t see them trying to save face; I see them trying desperately, to save their ass.
But their ass is on full display, and it doesn’t matter how many prosecutors they sacrifice on the altars of their corruption, the facts, the truth don’t change. Stay tuned.
So, for those who only read the Devils Lake Journal, you probably aren’t aware of how this case has blown up: It is the first time a conviction has been overturned in the State of North Dakota. That is huuuge. The man who pursued the case, violated Brady, withheld information that proved Werner’s innocence, is now a sitting Federal Judge. Think About THAT one.
Apparently, Devils Lake Journal doesn’t seem to be taking much interest in the historical relevance of the situation that is unfolding in present time. Not sure why. Typically, most papers want to have their mast on stories that register this high on the scale of historical relevance. I guess they have their reasons. They did pretty good showing up in court tht one time, but then—crickets.
So I will tell you: This case is going to the North Dakota Supreme Court.
Who would’ve thought that a man nobody had ever heard of, rotting away in a prison cell, convicted of a vicious murder of one of his friends, and who had no connections to anyone with means or connections, would suddenly become the biggest legal case in North Dakota History, exposing the corruption within the beating heart of the legal system, and that is really something that affects EVERY Person in North Dakota, and probably more than a handful of people connected to that corruption.
This was not an accident. This was not a mistake. If it was – they would not be throwing everything in their office at it, trying to save their collective ass. They would have remedied it.
Werner was the perfect fall guy. He was not connected to anyone in power. He was rough around the edges. He was rowdy. And he was an unknown.
I’m sure Lonnie is wracking his brain trying to figure out how all this perfectly orchestrated frame up, after all this time, suddenly flipped and flipped hard, exposing him and those who helped him, in ways that could render them all vulnerable to more in-depth investigations.
Imagine the nightmares they are all going through both alone and among those who created this mess. It’s coming. And none of them has the kind of character that would sacrifice for the rest of them. If they did, if they had that kind of character to begin with, they would not have gone down this road to begin with.
There’s a signpost up ahead: “EXPOSURE”… and the one after that: “DISCLOSURE”— and they can’t stop the car, the doors are locked and they can’t get out… and they can’t trust each other.
WhooooWeee! Bet they wake up covered in sweat and breathing hard.
Pulling every string, only to have it snap back in their face. Realizing that what they do now exposes them even more.
#Random: The one who talks first gets the best deal
I don’t know why, that thought just popped into my little pea brain. Gee, where have I heard it before?
(*Whispers* “Everywhere”)
Epilogue
So, the rest of you, stay tuned and look for the media that is actually giving you information about the historical event taking place right now, in your state.
Watch for the government to try and use other agencies to nullify the process. They’ll try it because they don’t want the exposure of their decades of corruption. Just like the #EpsteinFiles exposed some of the most powerful, most influential people (mostly men) for their deepest, darkest secrets: their abuses and rapes of children, so too will this start connecting the strands of the web of corruption and those ensnared in the ongoing corruption, to this day. They will be people you never thought would be involved, but they are. So are their friends, families, business connections, political connections.
How do we know this? Look at who is already tangled in his own spit: Lonnie Olson, a Federal Judge. Not a nobody. Not a one off. But a man now desperately trying to save his own ass--- and the current Prosecutor’s Office doing his dirty work. Have to ask the obvious question: Why? The other way is so much easier and cleaner—but no. They are going to perpetuate the wrong as strongly as they can.
Maybe Werner’s isn’t the only case. Maybe there’s more? Maybe there’s even worse?
Whatever it is, they are desperate to cover it up and to make it so no one remembers it or thinks about it or asks questions… Come to think of it, having a major paper in the area, the one that should be covering the story that began in Devils Lake and has implications that reach far wider and deeper than we can fully see, you’d think that town’s paper would be all over this. It’s puzzling to me. It really is. If you have any ideas, let me know. I’ll gladly share with the rest of the class.
PS: I was the smartass kid in school that DID bring enough gum for everyone in class.
This is big. This is bigger than North Dakota. This is bigger than Indian Country. A lot of rocks are going to be turned over. What slithers out will surprise and disgust you--- but I promise you that if you pay attention and don’t turn away, a lot of things will start to make a lot more sense once you can see the connections, the behaviors and at long last—The Truth.
We all can handle the truth if we let ourselves know it when we see it.
Think critically: There is no reason for the current Prosecutor’s Office to continue to push the thoroughly debunked story that framed, literally framed an innocent man—unless there are connections to the corrupt that remain ongoing. This is not “Face Saving” this is “Ass Covering” and it reveals as much about the current office holders as it does about the former.
Sea Change
There have always been forces around us, everywhere in this world that we cannot define, see or control. Some of these forces work out of our sight and betray, trick and fool us. They achieve power and wealth through dark means. Even Black Road practices.
There are also good elements working diligently, mostly unseen and unnamed, but doing what they know morally and factually, to be the right thing and the necessary thing, taking up causes that need attention, assistance and energy.
You can see it play out as a battle between good and evil, right and wrong. We all pick a side. Some see the evil and corrupt as powerful, and they make a conscious choice to join with those forces. They are weak.
Others see the wrongs being done and they find ways to add their energy to oppose that wrong and to support those battling against those wrongs. They may not be able to fight the evils they see, directly, but they can put their energy into joining the side of good.
I can tell you right now that there are always more people standing for good, than there ever are clinging to the evil, the hateful, the morally weak.
To those who are pitching in $5 or more to help Werner begin to reconnect to the world and loved ones, and to get his life on track after he wins his freedom, I thank you. Know as I know, you have put your energy on the side of Good in this battle.
To those of you who have awakened to the truth and can see his plight as that of an innocent man not just wrongly convicted, but framed for a depraved murder committed by someone else, and you have changed your opinion of who he is, who his family is, and you’ve gone to the door of his sister, his mother his other family members, and told them you are praying for him, and for the truth to come out--- you are definitely adding your energy to the side of Good in this battle. None moreso than those who until recently, believed he was guilty, but now you have more facts and you stand with the truth--- that takes even more courage in a world where no one wants to admit they were mistaken or misled. I commend you.
The Invisible Hand
There is absolutely more to this world than any or even all of us can comprehend fully. Like currents in the ocean, things get moved by a force we cannot see and unless we are in it, being moved by it, we cannot feel it. But it is real. Something moves the tides, the winds, and the very earth itself, and it is powerful.
Scientists ponder these things and come up with theories to explain it, but nothing explains all of it and how all of it works together to create and sustain this little blue marble in a sea of other marbles, all being flung and spun to a rhythm that keeps everything in balance and yet moving forward. There’s a harmony there that we can sense, but cannot understand.
It’s all bigger than us. Bigger than just our world, and yet it surrounds us. We are all part of something magnificent and beyond our comprehension. We are part of it. We don’t control it.
The best that you can be in this world, is someone that stands for Good. To be truly good, you have to have courage, integrity and humility. You have to make mistakes and you have to step away from those mistakes by acknowledging them. You, me, all of us, not perfect. Not supposed to be perfect. We have to overcome our flaws and weaknesses. We have to outgrow beliefs that were based on flawed evidence, lies, ignorance.
We have to grow, outgrow and move forward. That is also how we heal. We let go of hatred, jealousy. Those are weaknesses that literally drag us down, hold us back. We let go of, we outgrow, flawed beliefs—especially those beliefs that controlled how we acted towards others. This is how we add our strength to both the greater good and become part of the force for good. And this is also how we find alliances that make us stronger.
There is political advantage for those seeking to keep us divided and especially antagonistic or even hateful towards people who are simply different than we are. Division creates weakness. Division controls weakness. Weakness masks itself in cults, where you know what is driving and directing the cult is wrong, but you are afraid to be out of the cult because you think they are your strength.
The greatest good comes from people who have the inner strength to believe in themselves enough to walk away from needing to belong at the price of denying the truth because they don’t want to feel like they were fooled.
#Random: Being fooled doesn’t make you a fool. It is a betrayal of your trust. Those who betray your trust and mislead you should not be rewarded by your continuing loyalty. Take that back. It’s yours. Know that you don’t need to belong anywhere where you have to sacrifice the truth. If they reject you because you don’t buy the bullshit anymore, know that you have outgrown them and move on.
I’ve seen, especially through Werner’s case, people waking up to the facts, changing their entire attitude, and wanting Werner to know they are supporting him. That is the most uplifting part of all this.
It is what gives Werner hope for the future. It’s what gives me renewed hope for people. Werner is looking to the future and I’m looking at all of mankind and seeing a trend: a Sea Change. And a sensing of a greater hand in all of this, for all of us.
Something brought us all together, each with a different part to play, and everyone is doing their part. Each part is different, but each holds an essential energy that is part of the overall foundation of strength, trust and hope.
Admittedly, his attorneys are about the best I have ever seen. I keep trying but as many good and some great ones I have encountered, this team is way above all of those. All credit to them is due and deserved.
But what brought them and all their skills and insights, all their tenacity and strengths into this fray? I see the unseen hand. I trust it is part of that force that keeps everything spinning and flying throughout the universe, and all the tides, currents, winds and even the shaking of the earth itself as having steered all of them along with all of us into this, and bringing more and more people into this who have the strength to resist the system, the courage to make the system accountable and the skills and authority to counter the mud and turd balls, threats and even enticements, refusing to walk a few steps on the Black Road.
The Gathering
There is a palpable sense, almost like a drumbeat, drawing together the gathering of forces of Good from minute to major, to a single point in time where the Evil, the long standing corruption will be exposed.
That won’t be the end of it, but it will be the beginning of an even greater battle: To expose it all. And it is huge. And that is why, dear readers, they are so desperate to fly in the face of absolute facts, to cover their ass.
Trust
I trust in the unseen hand. I trust in the Universe. And every day I more and more trust the best in people overcoming their flaws and weaknesses, their doubts and their false beliefs becoming part of the force for Good. I trust the Sea Change. Even as I look at the water’s surface and everything looks the same, I know that the currents are, just below and those running far deeper, bringing to the surface and the shores, everything we need to see.
I see change.
I am uplifted and inspired. I see who is coming to answer the call for assistance, the best in the world, and I KNOW it is time, OUR time.
Watch this case closely. It’s not just about Werner. It’s about everyone before him and since. It’s about all of us.
We can choose willful blindness or we can grow our strength. This is the change we can be part of and we should be because we were all affected by the system with so much corruption that until we know who, what and where it all resides, none of us are truly safe.
And now, the powerful, at all levels and all across the world, feel their world shaking, their masks being snatched from their faces--- by women who were once powerless little girls in the clutches of powerful, wealthy, evil people, and who are now survivors armed with collective courage and strength. It is happening to powerful men and their accomplices who never thought their actions would see the light of day.
And, it’s happening in Nowhere, North Dakota, a small town named Devils Lake in a State not known for anything in particular throughout the greater world. A case of corruption and wrongful conviction so powerful it’s drawing one of the biggest networks in Europe, to lean in, listen and show the world.
The Powerless have become the very instruments that are dismantling the massive corruption that has casually occurred on so many levels, for so long, in so many places. Places we never heard of before. The powerful who thought they were immune, that no one would know, no one would believe, are now fearful. That’s a good thing.
All this is happening in places we never thought to look. But now we see. And we have to believe what we see. It’s the only way we can survive.
You know where to find me.

June 1, 2026 *Update*
Quick Update: Werner has been moved from Prison in Jamestown to Jail in Devils Lake. This is because he now is presumed Innocent. He has more communication privileges, but contacting and connecting with people (text/email/phone) costs money and his attorney, DeKray has set up a GFM to cover some of those expenses.

On Power & Tyranny
Print (9)
Power without Accountability equals Tyranny. All Tyrants are corrupt.
Remember when I used to often say: “There are two FBIs”?
One was the show horse they paraded out in public: Rescued Victims, solved major crimes, protected our Civil Rights. A lot of TV shows and movies used that image as a template. The media made money and the FBI got only a polished version of their agency burned into the zeitgeist of American lore.
Nobody made movies or TV shows about the other FBI. The other side was always about protecting the powerful, attacking whistleblowers who reported on the crimes and corruption of the politically well-connected, the very wealthy and powerful. Even those who reported child trafficking were harassed, treated like criminals, investigated, terrorized and if they worked for the government, they lost their jobs.
The FBI enabled child traffickers such as Jeffrey Epstein, to avoid investigation or consequences for decades starting at least in 1982. Neither Epstein nor his powerful friends who were Bankers, Politicians, International Icons, Corporate honchos, billionaires, and more, all escaped investigations not because no one reported it, but because those reports, credible and verifiable, were sent “upstairs” where they were buried by those who knew whom to protect and how.
Nowhere was this other side of the FBI more active and apparent, than in Indian Country. Racism, bigotry, misogyny, even within their own ranks, but especially towards the vulnerable, the powerless, the “non-important” persons, was then and is to this day, accepted practice.
The Murdered and Missing in Indian Country are not unsolvable crimes, they are neglected crimes. The FBI hasn’t used their vast resources to solve a single case. They will take a bow after others do the searching, investigating and go to the media… but for the most part, they resort to stereotypical tropes: “Probably ran away. Probably doing drugs, drunk, selling herself,” in order to not fully investigate these crimes.
Agents who pursue active homicide investigations that might lead to someone connected to the system, are immediately transferred and their case files are buried or round-filed. I’m remember how two agents, Ryan and Falcone, followed the evidence in the horrific murder of Eddie Peltier, his body dumped near Ski Jump Hill, that led them directly to the front door of James Yankton… and they were immediately, within 24-hrs, transferred to separate postings away from Indian Country.
Historical Side Trip
*Now of course, I remember reading that Lonnie Olson contacted Special Agent Helleckson when he was trying to frame Werner Kunkel for another horrific murder, that of Gilbert Fassett, whose body was dumped near Ski Jump Hill, and FBI Agent Helleckson was happy to help and had experience from framing several innocent men for the murder of Eddie Peltier.
Racism and outright bigotry always ruled over the majority and promotions went to those who wouldn’t rock that boat. Those who knew how the game was played, and played it well.
The FBI was never squeaky clean. That is a mask that was created to serve both the agency conceived and run by the corrupt J. Edgar Hoover, whom every elected official feared as long as he was alive, also served the media that needed some mortal version of Superman, or other heroic figure, to inspire a society reeling from economic despair, wars and sickness. So, the agency needed that, the government needed the public to buy into that, and no one dared look under the hood to see what was really going on.
Bottom Line: FBI was corrupt from the point of inception. It gave too much power to one man, and no accountability ever darkened his door. He wiretapped every politician, banker and other high society types. He kept files on everyone. Tried to make MLK out to be a criminal, a communist or worse for wanting the equal rights promised in The Constitution.
Martin Luther King was a man of compassion, intelligence, courage and eloquence. You could not ignore the truth he was speaking. People were listening to him. People were being inspired by him. Change was coming because of him.
Hoover hated him for all of that, but most of all because J. Edgar and the entire FBI were foundationally, racist. We know who got blamed for assassinating MLK, but we’ll really never know who fired the shot. Compliant Media, superhero worship. Here we are.
Note: When people buy into conspiracy theories it is because they do not trust their government to not lie to them. Blaming people for buying into conspiracy theories is like blaming them for believing the lies to begin with. Our government has had too many secrets, and most of them are used to protect the false images of powerful people. Nothing upsets administrations more than their lies being uncovered.
Also:by not teaching Critical Thinking Skills in our schools, we have raised 4 generations of people who lack the basic skills of knowing they are being lied to.
So much to fix, so little time to do it.
The FBI did some really good things and those became the only things people knew about the agency. But corruption was baked into an agency that was given extreme powers and whose failings and whose leaders, were never investigated nor held accountable.
The few outstanding scandals where top brass were arrested for selling national security secrets to foreign governments were not signs that the agency worked – they were red flags that the agency had been failing to maintain its own standards and rules, for decade. Each one of the traitors had risen to the very top of the pile and had been selling out the country for decades.
Had the system “worked” they would never have reached the top where they were beyond reproach, and they never would’ve gotten away with their crimes for decades.
People forget about those things. Even when they hear about them they don’t question beyond what media shapes into a loaf and bakes for them.
What do you think the FBI should be doing? Investigating Pedophiles? Or protecting the predators? DOJ and Kash Patel made their call. Predators have nothing to fear.
Remember: Trump was convicted of 34 felonies and these were no small felonies. He was tried and convicted. He has now pardoned himself. A pardon doesn’t erase the convictions, it only removes the consequences.
The agents who investigated him stealing truckloads of our national secrets and using them for his own gain, storing them in bathrooms, ballrooms, his bedroom, (and this was just the stuff they found at ONE of his resorts, he owns at least 4 more), those agents who are protecting our national security, were fired on Day One.
So, all the show horses are gone now.
Back on Track….
There I go again, digressing from my notes. *Sigh*
The point is this: What we are seeing in the FBI today, is not a ‘sudden’ nor ‘abrupt’ change in behavior; it is the inevitable result of an agency that was never held to account for its abuses, failures or outright corruption. What we are seeing now is not a mutation of their former self, but rather the full-hatching of the monsters they always were.
Now, today, they are not pursuing pedophiles, murderers, international fraud and criminal rings, no sir. What they are doing today is pulling agents off of cases such as pedophile rings, bank fraud, etc., and put on the mission of redacting trump’s name off of every document in the #EpsteinFiles. His name and the names of his ‘friends’. His friends are those who share in his crimes, enable his corruption, and praise him for his brilliant leadership.
And these agents are commanded by the most corrupt leadership in both the DOJ and the FBI as have ever openly crapped on the once “clean” image. Kash Patel is so often drunk and coked to the gills, SWAT has to break down his door to see if he’s still alive in his room.
He even has spent agency money creating his own branded Whiskey, that he carries with him everywhere he goes. What you saw of him celebrating like a drunken wild-man in the hockey team’s dressing room, was not a one-off.
The FBI and DOJ have fired the experts in foreign terrorism, cyber security, international threats—because they weren’t sufficiently loyal to trump. Yeah, we’re wide open to attacks on our banking, our entire computerized systems, and to foreign attacks now—but we got those names redacted.
Oh, and while they were at it, the names of the victims who spoke out, and some who didn’t publicly speak out but who file reports of being raped, abused and trafficked as children? Their names with all their personal information including SS numbers, home addresses, family members names, employment, etc… all that information got posted. It wasn’t an ‘accident’, it was intentional to punish them for speaking up, naming names, giving testimony, and it also served as a warning to any of the other victims that wanted to speak up, give testimony, tell their story.
The FBI didn’t mysteriously cave to the corruption.. they embraced it. Those who didn’t, left or were purged from the ranks. This is what is left of the FBI. No more show horses, just the vicious dogs set on the innocent, the decent, the victims all to protect the corrupt, the powerful, the wealthy.
The FBI doesn’t need the show horses anymore. Their drunken leadership will happily lie to the public and to Congress and fear no reprisals. Why? Because the only republicans left in the party are all loyal to trump. They won’t even say he lost the election in 2020 and they are doing all they can to assist him to raid our treasury, steal our lands and resources, while turning our capitol into a circus.
When you elect republicans, you elect those who actively enable the ongoing corruption and protect the most vile who have ever ascended to power.
The legacy media is their lapdog. The man literally shits himself at a signing ceremony, and not one of them dares comment on it, while remembering how, if Joe Biden stuttered, they played that on the Front Page and in the A Block of all their reporting.
You’re paying more for everything. People can’t afford to drive to work. Health care has become unaffordable, and we have depleted our stock of weaponry on a war of choice (to change the coverage to “WAR” instead of “EPSTEIN FILES”, and it will take decades to replenish so we are essentially wide-open for any aggression from any nation that decides to attack us; child care is gone; Food for children living in Poverty is gone… can’t afford any of that --- but look at this ballroom! It’s costing over a billion dollars now and it keeps rising, plus he’s going to build an ARCH that will cost another $2B+ so he can have parades like they do in France; and he’s hired a friend of his to redo the Lincoln Reflection Pool. The guy is doing a horrible job, is overpaid, and it doesn’t solve the problem of the pool to begin with, which was the PLUMBING! He’s not fixing that. He’s just giving his friend a nobid contract.
Spending over $1B/day on the war he started with Iran, giving Pentagon contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars to a company his son recently started up, but nothing for relief for citizens, taxpayers. Can’t afford Healthcare, childcare, SNAP, so suck it up. He said and he meant it, that he doesn’t think about the costs to Americans as he blunders his way across the landscape, desecrating everything and destroying what others built for us all.
Now, he’s putting his signature on our currency. Not good enough, he wants his face put on a $250 Bill. Sure, you’re all going to stuff your wallets with those, right? Or is that what it costs for you to fill your tank now?
Out in The Open
All this blatant corruption would normally not occur because the criminal would fear the FBI would come down on them—but the FBI is too busy having drunken orgies, and too coked up to care about crimes that affect you, me, all of us.
As long as Republicans are in power, they will continue to get worse because no one is holding them accountable. They fear nothing. They own everything. They own you.
Todd Blanche, his personal attorney who is now serving as acting AG, happily sued on his client’s behalf, his own agency and the IRS in order to give trump billions more for his own pocket. Let the party roll on!
You could vote for Democrats to put the brakes on all of this—but you won’t because you can’t admit that both sides aren’t alike. You can’t admit that your party is corrupt to the gills and cares nothing about your pain, your struggle… but will happily attack law abiding immigrants, throw them into concentration camps, abuse, rape, neglect them and kill them, by the thousands… because that is where they can most easily misdirect your anger… and you happily go there because you’re a racist to begin with (about time you were able to be proud of that, eh?) and you can’t admit you bought into the lies and corruption. What hell, you can get drunk too, right?
Or, you could vote for Democrats because you care more about stopping the runaway corruption train that is barreling down the tracks, wiping out businesses, towns, and…
Wait… what’s that? *Distant wailing*
DOGE BALL
Oh look! Ebola! *Record Scratch*
Ebola has no vaccine to prevent it. DOGE Boys gleefully cut the funding to the agency that was on the verge of having a vaccine to prevent Ebola. Ebola only kills Black People in African Countries, right? What do we care, right? (Remember AIDS? Also started in a remote country no one thought much about)
Yeah, DOGE cut off that agency, not a second thought. Also cut off the funding to the organizations that kept Ebola outbreaks in check. So, the clinics shut down, the early warning system shut down, and there are no drugs, no equipment to help the people who are trying to stop the spread of this disease. It has a 50%-80% fatality rate. But you’re healthy, right? You have good health…care… oops.. never mind.
When it comes here, and it will, instead of one or two isolated cases that can be quarantined and treated, minimizing the threat to 0, as it happened in the Obama Administration, this disease which has a 2 week incubation time, will run like wildfire through communities and the nation as a whole.
Republicans won’t help you or any of us. They’re the ones who cut off funding for everything that kept us safe. That money is happily going towards a golden Ballroom (gee, I always wanted one of those, didn’t you?), an Arch, further destroying the reflection pool, and lining the pockets of his friends, family and a few big donors.
Republicans can’t get into office if they don’t pledge their loyalty to him. What do you think your vote is doing? How much more does it have to cost you before you wise up?
Note: This is why people who are suckered by a scam continue to be revictimized, often by the same scammers. They won’t admit they made a mistake. They don’t want to admit what they are. He called them “Suckers” and they applauded. It was perfect. It still is.
Not Perfection -- Accountability
No party is perfect. We’re not asking for perfection, we’re asking for honesty, integrity, compassion for everyone who isn’t already a billionaire. We need Accountability. But that’s too much for you die-hard red hats, iddnt it?
You elected a felon. A felon convicted on 34 felonies. You gave him the keys to the car and now he’s crashing into everything and we’re paying the bills when we can’t even pay our own. MAGA. Yea. *Impotent confetti cannon blast*
Other nations, have taken the information from the #EpsteinFiles and taken action against their own royals and their own leaders. Other nations have imprisoned former leaders who were corrupt and abusive. Not us. We do interviews. We mindlessly repeat their lies. We forbid ourselves from fact checking because they get caught, they get mad. Don’t want to hurt their feelings.
The Art of Misdirection
Hello Ebola. *Rolls out Red Carpet* Don’t worry, we’ll blame immigrants, Black or Brown People, Single Mothers, Women in General. Oh! I know! We’ll blame the Gays! The Trans! Sure! That has all worked so well in the past… people expect it, applaud it.
Note: Magicians use misdirection to convince you of the illusions they present. Political Leaders who use this are calling to your lowest beliefs and behaviors. Be better or at least be ashamed enough to grow out of it.
#Random: It used to take ideas and policy structures to get a person into political circles and elected to office. Now, it just takes money and a mindless hate campaign against people who have done nothing wrong. OMG! A transwoman tied for 5th Place in a swimming competition! The REAL woman had to share her 5th Place Trophy with … a TRANS WOMAN!! Oh God in Heaven! *Collapses into wailing heap, flailing arms. Tears. Lots of tears!
And that, my friends, is why we can’t have Trans women compete in women’s sports. Not because they can win, clearly 5th place isn’t a threat to 1, 2, 3 or even 4th, but because they exist! And because they exist, ALL our problems are their fault!
You think I’m kidding? F47 made a darling out of little miss ‘I-HAD-T0-SHARE-MY-5TH-PLACE TROPHY” on his campaign to attack transgender persons and distract from any real issues and his crimes. Legacy media bought it.
Well, she didn’t last long. She was upset and spoke out against his starting a war for no reason. GONE. Used and discarded. Next?
Somewhere, that sad little victim is polishing he 5th place trophy (probably plastic), sobbing silently, looking at her hero’s AI superhero/Jesus picture: “I thought we were friends.”
You did too, right? I’d laugh myself silly if this wasn’t so tragic and unnecessary.
Rugged Individualism is a Myth
Nobody is ‘self-made’. Every success had help—lots and lots of help. Help from those who went before them, help from those who taught them, help from the system that nurtured and protected them, and most of all, sadly, help from those underpaid workers whose labors don’t even earn them a living wage.
If you want to get yourself and your kids out of this spiral into serfdom and wage slavery, you have to approach it in a way that helps everyone around you. You have to help to build the system you want to thrive in and that means others have to be able to thrive in it too. You can’t just take from everyone else and give nothing. That’s a parasite, a narcissist. That’s what we currently have running and ruining everything while you blame and attack the very people we should be allying with that will make us ALL stronger.
Wrap It Up Buttercup
Wow! 9 pages is a lot. I still have 8 more pages of notes and an update on the court documents regarding Werner Kunkel’s case and how the judge, in the disciplined speak of Adult-In-The-Room turned down the prosecution’s whining plea in a voice reminiscent of a car trip with whining kids that sounded to me like: “Don’t make me pull this courtroom over!” It is just4 pagesand I’ll post it for your perusal.

June 3, 2026 Werner's case discussed at 8:30 in, but the whole discussion ties together neatly. Ringstrom Dekrey Let me know if it doesn't work!
Keeping this one pinned

Listen to the Podcast
This is a brief one from me. I’m going to drop a couple of links here. One is to the podcast by one of Werner’s attorneys, and it gives a clear review of their case for Werner’s actual Innocence and the petition to release him while the prosecution side ponders if they want to refile charges or not.
They have NO case, and it would be purely punitive for them to do that, but we’re talking North Dakota and a prosecution that never should have proceeded in the first place. Keeping Werner locked up is just another bullying move by a man who bullied him all his life and is using the judicial system to bully him now.
It is the first case I have ever heard of where the conviction in a homicide was overturned. That has to sting. The (IMO) disrespectful treatment the prosecution showed the court leading up to the hearing was rather shocking.
The judge considered every word of what was presented, examined the facts and rendered a very deep, thorough ruling when he overturned the conviction.
Typically, when a conviction is overturned, the prisoner is released in short order. This one is stalling.
I’m not privy to the behind the scenes cogs and wheels, and my opinion is based on what I see and hear, just like you all.
I do know that the terrorist organization known as ICE had a deportation order for him based on his conviction. Now that that conviction is overturned, I would think their warrant would be nullified and they would withdraw it. But, this is the same agency that hires trigger happy types with sketchy backgrounds and give them a fraction of the training that used to be mandatory. You’ve seen the results in Minneapolis.
I learned from listening to the podcast that Werner’s father was a US citizen. I thought that would make him a US Citizen when he immigrated here at the age of 6 or 7, but ICE is what they are and that part needs to be sorted out in court.
I do know that Werner Is disabled now. His treatment in prison has left him wheelchair bound only able to walk short distances with a cane. He’s neither a flight risk, if they do decide to try him again, nor is he a convicted murderer so he should be released, either way. Let the man breathe fresh air. It’s been over 30 years FFS.
And If You Can Help
There is a legit GoFundMe page set up for Werner. To help him get his life in order. Prison doesn’t give you a payout when they turn you loose. And 30 yrs in prison didn’t exactly let him build up a pension. Every dollar helps. He’s coming out into a world he hasn’t set foot in for over 30 years.
