Welcome to the Jungle

Updated: Jul 8

The jungle referred to here is Montana’s open “Jungle Primary”.What does this mean for the local Montana voter? Simply, it means the laws of the jungle apply in choosing who will represent us.


What are the laws of the jungle? There are none. It’s “No-holds-barred!” It is where an individual wearing the uniform of your team may actually be someone drafted by the opposition. All fair play in the jungle. Where dark money is allowed in and only accountable (maybe) after the fact and the damage is done. Anyone can pay their registration fee and declare whatever party affiliation they believe will give them the best chance of winning. The proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing. This invites deception. What begins in deception will certainly end in deception.

Montana Jungle Primary

Has this ploy worked in state and local races? You will find the answers by checking the bills introduced and supported along with the voting records of your current representatives. “Facts are stubborn things”, as John Adams said.


In the Jungle, there is no integrity, no fair-play. It is a kill or be killed game. The winners take pride in their deceptive talents. This is voter-beware.


First, the populous MUST come to grips with an ominous truth; We are in a war for the soul of our Republic. This war has been raging for many generations. The enemy is tenacious, their tactics well honed, deception and fear are key components. This is winner-takes-all. Who is this enemy? The answer to this can only be discovered through studying history. History will expose patterns of methodology and tactics.


From history, we can clearly identify what agenda is driving the enemies of freedom. The pattern that self-identifies here is the age-old enemy, marxist-communism. One will see parallels in the history of Russia, China and nearly every tyrannical regime throughout history. Division is the first tactic deployed by every dawning communist or marxist movement. This often begins with highlighting and then empowering the downtrodden and deprived, regardless of how prosperous they may be, through bolstering their outcry, then providing the solution. This solution often takes the form of political status and financial support, drawing the “lesser class” in, only to be used as pawns against the “oppressors”, but that comes later.


Looking locally at the Republican party you can easily see how effective this tactic can be. Why the republican party? Great question!. Long considered the defenders of personal freedoms and responsibilities, limited government and power of the people, the republican party has historically been the guardian of these American values. Why isn’t the democrat party targeted? Another great Question! Again, history provides us the answer. Norman Thomas, a six-time Presidential Candidate of the Socialist Party beginning back in 1928 famously said “I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party.  The Democratic Party has adopted our platform.” Enough said. Just as the devil focuses his divisive efforts within the church because that is where the power is, marxists focus their efforts on the political power source of the resistance to their agenda. As within the church, if you can capture the leaders, you capture a whole denomination. So it is in a political party.


All politics are local, there are wolves in sheep’s clothing running in every republican primary race in the bitterroot today. There are few democrats running. The Dems don’t need to, many republicans are captured uniparty loyalists.. Yet, there are still a few true Americans willing to pledge their lives, liberty and sacred honor in an effort to restore and secure your God given rights. You can identify them pretty easily. They will also be the ones asking to debate their opponents and repeatedly being denied or ignored. They are the candidates shunned by the party establishment. They are the ones standing in the breach against those who seek nothing more than power and status that they believe they deserve, at your expense. They lack funding, relying on you and I to fund their campaigns. Their opponents will face no such problems.


The challenge to the voter is to discover who the candidates REALLY are. Much like removing the layers of an onion, true character is under the surface. Often, the character of a person is revealed only when pressure is applied; When you squeeze a lemon, what do you get? Lemon juice. Why? Because that’s what’s in it! How can this pressure be applied? DEBATES! Once the centerpiece of politics, debates are becoming a rare occurrence on the political stage.


In our system of government, the government gains power only one way, it takes yours. You, the voter, are the prey!

Beware! The game is afoot.
