Gov Inslee Moves Violent Sex Offenders from secure McNeil Island – quietly dumps them in our neighborhoods.

Governor Inslee has launched a program through DSHS to dump the most violent sex offenders in state history - currently locked up at McNeil Island into neighbors near you. These are marginal, unsecured homes managed by for profit corporations with minimal supervision and apparently legal immunity. What could go wrong?

This story has been brewing over the past few weeks, but the more we uncover, the worse it gets.

In order to cover this story most effectively, it will require us to dig into the history of McNeil Island, the history of the Violent Sex Offender civil commitment program, and the recent state legislative changes in 2021 (SB 5163) which have essentially unleashed this program on us. Future articles will address all these details with as many source links and information as we can post.

For now, here is our first video about this issue. This video was posted on our YouTube Channel on January 18, 2022:

We’ve been spending a time and energy posting videos on our YouTube channel, to which you can subscribe (for free) located here. We encourage you to browse these videos because we don’t always post them on our website. Last year, we posted 110 videos, for example.

In the meantime, this story should be a wake-up call to all of us, that government will continue to do bad things when they believe nobody is watching. Apathy is the enemy of freedom, and when the original bill was passed, it was right in the middle of the Covid drama – complete with the Capital building lockdown and the public excluded from in-person testimony on bills. Most people probably didn’t know this bill was passed. Now we have to deal with the consequences.

Several questions I hope to answer in the near future as records requests are received and we get more information:

What are the contracts for these facilities? Many insiders are indicating these contracts are exceptionally profitable.

Who plans to profit from emptying the McNeil Island facility and converting it to what type of use?

How many other fly-by night operations are being set up all around the state to install similar facilities near where you live?

A lot of questions need to be answered. This is just the beginning.

I caught Inslee breaking the law – Again. This time he wasn’t alone.

Washington State Governor Jay Inslee is no stranger to lawbreaking, and once again he has been caught.

On Monday, I filed a formal complaint with the Washington State Executive Ethics Board on Governor Jay Inslee‘s repeated violations of Washington State’s ethics laws. See complaint linked here. Of course, he was not alone, in the same complaint I also identified 11 other state senators and legislators who also broke the same laws. The same complaint provides the details relevant to their violations and was also submitted to the Washington State Legislative Ethics Board, which is responsible for investigating and enforcing these laws on the elected legislators and state senators.

The Legislative Ethics Complaint named and includes the following Washington State Senators :

      1. – Senator Manka Dhingra
      2. – Senator Emily Randall
      3. – Senator June Robinson
      4. – Senator Liz Lovelett

The Legislative Ethics Complaint named and includes the following Washington State Legislators:

      1. – Rep. My-Linh Thai
      2. – Rep. Jessica Bateman
      3. – Rep. Debra Lekanoff
      4. – Rep. Alex Ramel
      5. – Rep. Alicia Rule
      6. – Rep. Sharon Shewmake
      7. – Rep. Vandana Slatter

This isn’t the first time I have caught Governor Inslee breaking the law. He was recently sanctioned by the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission for attempting to conceal his financial relationships with out-of-state corporations and other organizations (see here). For now, I produced a video yesterday that helps explain these newest legal violations:

The laws they broke, and the laws they plan to break again

As explained thoroughly in the draft of the 8-page complaint itself (see here), the laws broken mainly involve RCW 42.52.180 and WAC 292-110-010. These are the laws which the two state Ethics Boards are tasked with enforcing and investigating.

However, these politicians also broke RCW 42.17A.555, which is addressed more effectively by the Public Disclosure Commission. However, if you read the exception at RCW 42.17A.555(4), there is an exception carved out for the Governor and these legislators, which means that these violations by these specific elected officials can ONLY be addressed by their respective ethics boards.

Will Inslee stop breaking the law now that the Washington State Executive Ethics Board is investigating his past lawbreaking? That remains to be seen.

Will the State Senators and Legislators stop breaking the law now that the Washington State Legislative Ethics Board is investigating them for their past lawbreaking? Maybe. They could also make the decision that the penalties for lawbreaking are so minimal, and the benefits are high enough that they can continue to break the law and just take the wrist slapping later.

We will see this Friday, when Inslee has scheduled a political campaign event for the 30th and 47th Legislative District Democrat candidates for the legislature and senate, posing as a taxpayer funded “press conference” whether Governor Jay Inslee decides to continue his lawbreaking or not.

Washington State Governor Jay Inslee appears to believe the law doesn’t apply to him. Maybe it is better to be King than to be Governor

Rep Alex Ramel (D) accepts foreign cash for political campaign, breaking same law he supported

Washington State Representative Alex Ramel (D) voted for laws to restrict foreign corporate influence in local elections. However, it appears he quickly broke that law this year. The cash was nice.

As many regular readers know, I have spent a bit of time filing over 650 complaints against hundreds of politicians, PACs, judges, and candidates who violate Washington State’s campaign finance and ethics laws.  Although some are not “guilty” of breaking these laws, most of the complaints have merit and many have resulted in fines and formal warning letters over the past few years (go here for a detailed list of several hundred specific examples).

I’m trying to clear up a backlog of complaints.  There are just so many violators, I tend to let them pile up for a while in my “to do” list before I can process them.  A recent complaint I filed yesterday just stood out from the pile a bit, and it seemed worthwhile to discuss it here.  Regular viewers of my video channel (linked here) will know I sometimes feature “violator of the week” where I provide a little more background on the politicians I catch breaking the law regularly.

The recent complaint I filed against Democrat Representative Alex Ramel (40th Legislative District) is one that seems destined to make it onto my video channel as one of these featured stories. 

Rep. Alex Ramel, D-40

In this recent complaint I filed with the Public Disclosure Commission (complaint linked here), I documented two violations of Washington State’s campaign finance laws (RCW 42.17A).  (Update: This is now being investigated by the PDC under Case #108986 – linked here) The most interesting violation is Representative Alex Ramel’s acceptance of a max donation from a large international corporation, which was funneled through an out-of-state subsidiary located in California.  In Washington State (just like in Federal Elections), it is illegal to have foreign countries, foreign citizens, or foreign corporations fund your political campaigns.  The reasons are obvious, since nobody wants Russia, China or even Fiji to purchase influence by funding local political campaigns.

Representative Alex Ramel presumably agrees with this law since he was one of the members of the house legislature who voted to pass it. This was fairly recent legislation which further imposes additional restrictions and constraints on the funneling of foreign cash into local Washington State elections.  See the bill he supported linked here, and the relevant statutes and administrative codes related to this issue can be found linked and referenced here: (RCW 42.17A.417(1), RCW 42.17A.005(24), WAC 390-16-330, WAC 390-16-335)

California based corporation Cypress Creek Renewables gave a maximum donation of $2,000 to the Ramel campaign on May 20, 2022 (see here).  This corporation was purchased by a large international corporation on October 8, 2021 (see press release here), and this corporation has been listed as a wholly owned subsidiary of this European based corporation named EQT (see website here).  At a minimum, the Ramel campaign will have to forfeit these funds in order to regain compliance.  He could get some other wrist slaps for his law breaking (remember, the law doesn’t completely apply to the politicians the way it applies to the rest of us).

Masked up and Rambling with Ramel

Ramel is no stranger to Washington State’s glorious campaign finance laws.  In fact, he appears to fancy himself a bit of a wonkish guy in the campaign finance law arena.  He has some extensive experience with multiple complaints he filed in the past (See Public Disclosure Case Files linked here and here).  Additionally, he has testified at the Public Disclosure Commission meetings (see here – July 22, 2021) apparently advocating for closing more “loopholes” in the statute.  This experience just makes his recent lawbreaking a bit more interesting because he can’t claim ignorance of the very law he championed and passed in the legislature with his vote in support.  I guess he can claim ignorance, but that claim would and should be ridiculed.

He also misrepresented some information on his financial affairs reports from earlier this year claiming to be 100% owner of a company that hasn’t officially existed for about 18 months.  The name of the non-existent company was “100% possible, LLC” which apparently failed to attain the possible and instead dissolved.  This is a little weird, but from a lawbreaking standpoint, not as significant as attempting to fund a political campaign with foreign corporate cash.  As I stated in the original complaint I filed yesterday, “ Alex Ramel is with 100% certainty a lawbreaker when it comes to our campaign finance laws.”

Ultimately, the resolution of this violation will be up to the staff at the Public Disclosure Commission, and based on recent history I expect them to protect established politicians from any real consequences to their lawbreaking.  Maybe Representative Alex Ramel will get a wrist slap warning letter and have to forfeit some of his ill-gotten gains.  The political process beats on, yet it is still worthwhile for we the governed to pay attention to what these goofs are doing, even when they think none of us are paying attention. To use Ramel’s defunct and non-existent corporation name in vain – “It is 100% possible you will find more than you think.” I can also state with 100% certainty – “These guys don’t want us watching.”

The General Attitude that all Bureaucrats and Politicians have… Alex Ramel is no exception…

In this video we discuss why it appears Washington State Governor Inslee and Attorney General Bob Ferguson decided to suppress the release of historic records about medical experiments conducted on Washington State prisoners. As discussed in our original article on this subject (linked here), these included experiments using radiation, Ditran (which causes psychotic breakdowns), vaccine medication produced by Dupont, and other experiments.

Inslee and Ferguson Suppress records of human medical experiments on inmates to protect Inslee’s Vax mandate narrative

Why did Washington State Governor Jay Inslee and Attorney General Bob Ferguson decide to suppress historic records of medical experiments on inmates in Washington State?

Washington State’s Governor Jay Inslee and Attorney General Bob Ferguson appear to have colluded to help suppress and prevent the release of recently uncovered records about historic medical experiments conducted on Washington’s prison inmates.  The records were part of a trove of paper records (517 pages) apparently discovered by Washington State Department of Corrections employees at the Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla in 2020. 

In 2021, Governor Inslee was informed about these records (which included vaccine, radiation, and other experiments on inmates), but it appears that the Inslee administration and AG employees preferred to suppress these historic records because it could be noisy and potentially disrupting to Inslee’s narrative about his upcoming Vax mandate for state workers.  Until now, these records have remained concealed from the public.

An ugly history in Washington State prisons

From the 1950s until the early 1970s, prison inmates were frequently used as test subjects for a variety of medical experiments, most of which would be considered extremely unethical and probably shocking today.  The modern concept of “informed consent” was not exactly in vogue at the time, and while these records demonstrate some limited consent by the prison inmates, it appears unlikely they were properly notified about all the side effects and potential harm these experiments could inflict.

Walla Walla State Penitentiary

These experiments included subjecting the inmates to high dose radiation of the testicles and forced vasectomy after the experiments.  These radiation experiments were publicly revealed in the 1990s which led to a class action lawsuit filed by survivors and survivor families.  The plaintiffs argued that they were not given adequate informed consent and their Constitutional Rights were violated and this case ultimately was settled in 2000 for $2.4 million (see background articles linked below). 

The records uncovered in 2020 included some records which would have been responsive to that radiation lawsuit (and were obviously never provided during the discovery phase of that case), but also records of experimental “injections” given to incarcerated prisoners at the State Penitentiary in Walla Walla and the Dept. of Corrections prison in Shelton

The records document the use of Ditran on at least 17 participants in the prison system.  Ditran was a drug developed by the U.S. miliary as part of their chemical warfare efforts in the 1960s (see background articles linked below).  Ditran is an anticholinergic with mind-altering properties (similar to military experiments using LSD in that era).  These records include observations of at least two people experiencing psychotic episodes during these experiments.

These records also included an Influenza anti-viral developed by DuPont and injected in 840 subjects during this time as well as some records of experiments using a cough suppressant called Ethnine.

I have also received a variety of heavily redacted records from the AG’s office and others which clearly indicate a substantial amount of communication and discussion about this uncovered collection of public records and the clear concerns about liability and related issues (these are linked below as well in 5 batches).  The first question apparently asked by the Inslee administration was a good one, and the same one I would ask if I was governor.  Were any of these experiments conducted during the last 10 years (during the Inslee administration)?  The answer appears to be no.

At this point, you would think that since obviously these were historic records from an earlier era and from administrations long since past (most people involved are not even alive anymore), the Inslee and Ferguson administrations would just go public with these records.  In fact, you can see from these records (see here) that draft press releases were produced to do just that.  However, it appears that Inslee intervened or directed his minions to intervene and suppress these records.  Why?

Washington State Governor Inslee

Here is where the skill of reading between the lines and the heavy (and often absurd) redactions comes into play.  It appears that this was being discussed in 2021, right as Governor Inslee was preparing his vaccine mandates for state workers.  He knew there would be some pushback and it appears that he didn’t want even a historic hint of government wrongdoing or government directed human medical experiments to potentially become part of a counter narrative to his heavy-handed vaccine mandate.  So, of course, the preferred narrative must be protected at all costs.  Bury the story.  Hide the truth

Would the timely release of these records in 2021 or even 2020 when they were first discovered really have changed the narrative that much?  It seems unlikely, but who can really know or quantify the internal drama, special interests involved, or the general arrogance of a Governor enjoying his endless and unchecked emergency powers?  By that time last year, the legislature had been essentially neutered, sent home to Zoom, and converted into a shell of itself.  The public had been fenced off from access to the Capital campus (Remember my Come Commit an Act of Free Speech and Get Arrested event last year? – see here and here).  Department of Labor and Industry employees were tossing out six-figure fines like confetti at a parade, and AG Ferguson was busy destroying as many small businesses in Washington State as he could find. 

Would a trove of documents exposing historic government medical abuse of prison inmates have impacted the narrative that much?  Who knows, but Inslee clearly was concerned.

Washington State AG Bob Ferguson

I’m posting all these records at the end of this article for all to download.  It is a lot of records, and keep in mind the historic records often consist of hand-written records which have been scanned.  The interagency emails and heavily redacted communication is included here as well.  This consists of hundreds of pages.  Read them for yourself.  There are sure to be gems to uncover for those who appreciate this information. 

The questions we should start to ask

However, this case raises much bigger questions that all of us probably should be asking. For example,

How many other records have been suppressed, concealed, or destroyed by the Inslee and Ferguson administration which would be even more impactful than this? Can anyone even answer this question? Can it be quantified?

Do the Inslee or Ferguson administrations have any ethical boundaries when it comes to destroying embarrassing public records which might really reflect poorly on the state? 

Are they also willing to conceal records that embarrass the political leadership?

And finally,

What else are these guys trying to hide from us?

Government Bureaucracy is often defined as a mountain of corruption concealed by an ocean of incompetence

The definition of Government Bureaucracy is a mountain of corruption concealed by an ocean of incompetence, and everyone knows it.

Over the years of studying government and exposing the endless incompetence and typical corruption that is commonly found by anyone who observes government in action, this has become a simple way to define the situation in which we find ourselves today. Government bureaucracy is often filled with mountains of corruption which are easily concealed by an ocean of incompetence. It is often difficult to distinguish where the incompetence ends and the corruption begins.

For example, most people have become accustomed to incompetence as the default setting of government. Lost your paperwork or application? Of course. Making you wait hours in line to ask a simple question? Just the way things go. Confusing and contradictory information provided that turns out to be wrong anyway? Hey, don’t blame them, they work for the government. We’ve all experienced it.

This is why it is so difficult to sort out corruption in government. How can you distinguish the line between the normal and typical level of incompetence that just comes with the territory at most state and federal agencies, and genuine corruption? Even when you catch and expose examples of corruption in government, the first line of defense is always “Hey we are not corrupt, just incompetent!”

OUR CONSTITUTION BEGINS WITH THE PHRASE “WE THE PEOPLE.”  IT WAS THE FOUNDERS’ INTENT THAT GOVERNMENT BE CREATED BY THE PEOPLE, TO SERVE THE PEOPLE.  IT WASN’T THEIR INTENTION FOR THE PEOPLE TO SERVE THE GOVERNMENT.  IT WAS ALWAYS INTENDED THAT GOVERNMENT WHICH FAILED TO SERVE THE PEOPLE SHOULD BE “ALTERED OR ABOLISHED.”  UNTIL WE RETURN TO THE FOUNDER’S INTENT, WE REMAIN WE THE GOVERNED

Worst Washington State Legislative Bills of 2022

As the 2022 Washington State Legislative Session finally ended, there was a plethora of stupid legislation worth discussing and exposing.

Every year, the Washington State Legislature (both houses currently controlled by the Democrats) in collusion with Washington State’s Governor Jay Inslee (D) are producing a raft of absurd, bizarre pieces of legislation. Many of these bills appear to have a primarily focus of inflicting harm on the residents of Washington State and creating kickback schemes for the grant grifters and other political insiders. These political insiders strive to extract as much taxpayer cash each budget cycle as possible, and many were rewarded this cycle. When the current Democratic Party crew controls all levers of legislative and executive power, the game doesn’t change much. Rinse, wash, repeat.

In the handful of cycles where the Republicans were nominally in control of the State Senate or where the Democrats only had a slight majority in the State House, the problem of absurd and crazy legislation tends to be reduced or minimized. It is worth reviewing just a sample of these bills in order for people to realize the towering intellects behind these proposed pieces of legislation and the political fumbling that has led so many residents of Washington State to ask, “What type of clowns have we elected in this state?” Let’s review:

I realized after I produced the above video that I missed many more examples of absurd legislation. Based on comments we received on the above video, I decided to produce another just to make sure I covered some additional gems of legislative absurdity from the 2022 legislative session. This video was launched on our YouTube channel on March 23, 2022:

Senate Bill – 5975 (Transpo Funding) originally had the 6cent per gallon export tax which generated tension and fights with surrounding states of Alaska, Idaho and Oregon. Passed both houses – partisan only approval by Democrats. Signed by Governor Inslee.

House Bill 1099 (Enviro Growth Management Act bill – radically increasing the cost of living and including massive giveaways to a variety of enviro special interests using the excuse of “climate change”) This bill failed to pass due to a procedural maneuver by Republicans at the end of session. While all Democrats supported it, it still failed to pass.

Senate Bill 5078 (Hi-Cap Mag Ban Bill sponsored and supported by Billionaires and Democrats). All Republicans opposed. Passed despite15,000 people officially singing in opposed to the bill (a new state record). Inslee signed this into law.

A good article summarizing this bill can be found here.

House Bill 1692 (Drive By Shooting Bill – rewarding criminals who commit drive by shootings with lower prison sentences). Sponsored exclusively by Democrats and died an early and ugly political death in Committee. Widely mocked around the nation.

House Bill 1707 (Let the tribe members drown) – this bill died in committee. Exclusively sponsored by Democrats, it made the news as a racist and absurd piece of proposed legislation.

Foxnews – “Washington Rep would exempt Native Americans from wearing lifevests because they are ‘very used to our cold waters'”
