Letters from the Editors

Sept. 17, 2023

After contacting the Dean of Fairhaven College, Caskey Russel, and contacting Kathy Patrick for comments on current and past events at Western Washington University, we received a call from campus police. We were told that certain people “don’t feel safe,” presumably from the response from both students and parents regarding the shady dealings of the administration, or the verbiage we used while contacting them.

As we mentioned, they were both sent e-mails. We are publishing these emails in the interest of full transparency, because we assert that this is EXACTLY what WWU and its powerful teachers union does- when faced with accountability, they would rather protect their job, at your expense, as a holy right, and play the “ I don’t feel safe” card.

We can’t help but chuckle at the hypocrisy. They claim to feel unsafe because they're being confronted with the truth, and then continue to allow a culture of retaliation, discrimination, manipulation, and abuse at the hands of their teaching and professional staff regardless. What about the students who legitimately are unsafe because of this? Moldy and blood-stained dorms, unfair hiring practices and enforcement polices, not to mention the active predators and criminals employed by the university!

If you read, on our website or straight from the news outlets, what the State of Washington alone has charged WWU with – and what those accused have admitted to - it’s quite shocking. It’s what allows us to claim the truth. WWU doesn’t want the truth out and so, like a desperate swimmer, they’ll collectively drown their rescuers. In this case, it’s the student body getting drowned, and the administration floundering.

AND ITS OBJECTIVELY PLAIN TO SEE: Read our website. Read the letters.

Imagine if you had your own police force at work. This force, presumably, would be solely focused on your university. Now imagine having staff that “ weaponizes” that department; For example, complaints can be petty, but the unique mandate to university service compels the police to investigate regardless of the substance or legitimacy. Let that sink in. We clearly only spelled out the truth. Our sources are vetted, syndicated news outlets or local publications that serve the community – just as we are trying to do.

Our prediction is that after filing a public information request, you will find that the very people who we confronted, then politely let be or ignored – and even told that we wouldn’t be back - are the source of those claims. We've even put in writing to Caskey and the UPD, multiple times, that we have no interest in harming or threatening any person on campus – that we only seek to speak the truth as the University tries to sweep it under the rug.

Does university staff avoid the tough issues unethically? You bet they do. They employ the call of the snowflake, the “ I don’t feel safe “ card. We chuckle at this. The students and staff associated with this paper have no intention of harming anyone, nor in their combined 200 years of existence, ever hurt anyone. Yet, weaponizing your feelings is the trend, and it strips you of your rights right that second. Though implied, and supported by us, feeling safe is an implied right. It is NOT a Constitutional Right. In Washington law, the legal response to “ not feeling safe” is simple. We agree with it in an altruistic sense, who doesn’t want to feel safe? The issue is, feelings and facts are different, though some seek to weaponize these, by say, calling your local police.

Electronic devices carry the same legal burden- it entails a threat that a reasonable person would find threatening, and the power to carry it out. It’s pretty clear in the attempts we made ( read the letters! ) that at no time were any students or staff threatened.

This is how the administration works. For those who are reading and watching, this type of tactic is played out over and over again in WWU's history, and it will never change until we all stop being sheep and realize that we are paying them! They work for us!

Furthermore, we believe and support our officers both at Western and in Bellingham! Stop putting them in the middle! There’s nothing criminal going on here - except at WWU.

If you feel unsafe, consider the words of the Army Criminal Investigations Officer who investigated the case, John Boatwright: “You should really look at the two girls [Kathy Patrick and Sandra Ames] who found the body.” Assuming the witness isn’t lying, Kathy not only did it but conspired to cover it up with a fellow teacher. He stated: “in all my years as an investigator, never have I been so sure. She absolutely did it”.

And before you attack the messenger: CBS News, 48 Hours, and Chris Connelly are respected news sources.

We’re not blaming the Police in this, just curious as to how the law seems to be different at Western depending on your position in the food chain.

As I leave my post here at the Whistleblower, I leave you in good hands. All for evil to exist is for good people to do nothing.
