Yeah.

Yeah, apparently the park rangers got an emergency alert late last night.

No.

No it wasn’t because of drunks or a lost tourist?

No.

No!

No, apparently they got a sighting of Alan Wake showing up on the trail cam again!

Yeah. We’ve sent a couple of guys out to check.

So, story time.

I was out camping with friends. We were teens, just living our lives. It was a nice warm spring. We were about to light our camp fire when my friends across from me stood slowly, eyes wide.

A bear had sleepily wandered into our camp.

Now, I remembered from my childhood what to do. The park ranger had been very clear. I turned and raised my arms over my head and yelled, at the top of my adolescent lungs, "No, bear, no! Haaaaaa!"

The ranger, further south than we were now, had meant black bears.

This bear... Was not black.

So this very clearly brown bear seemed to wake from his sleepy meandering very suddenly, and very annoyed.

That's not how you roar, they thought. This is how you roar.

They reared up on hind legs, and let me tell you, this was enough. But then they roared back. I was convinced.

I ran.

My friends were already running. I saw them hit the tree line and start climbing. I didn't think, and did the same.

Mx bear did not chase us. They lumbered over to the nearest tree with an annoying child in it, my tree, and leaned on it.

The tree swayed and I began to mutter a prayer to anything listening. But the bear wasn't interested in eating us. They were just very annoyed we were in their backyard and screamed at them while they were just waking up.

Which, y'know, fair.

So they left us alone.

After maybe half an hour, we climbed down, giggling like the idiots we were.

We moved our camp.

I have reason to believe, based on a rabbit hole I went down last night, that there is an ongoing war happening between the National Parks Service and the US Park Police. I take no joy in reporting that the National Parks Service isn't immune from ACAB, with the Park Police being undisciplined dickhead cowboys with unchecked authority in the greater DC Metro area. Even the local county police hate them to the point of leaking evidence the Park Police have withheld from the public and bringing manslaughter charges against Park Police officers following the killing of Binam Ghaisar. Charges that were only stopped by FBI intervention and a proceeding cover up. The legacy of which haunts the organization and colors everything that has happened in the last few months.

There seems to have been what I can only describe as a soft coup by appointing Jessica Taylor as park police chief. The park police union has been eroding the legitimacy of the National Parks Service (otherwise a very progressive liberal institution in comparison to basically every other US government agency) for decades now and I think the wider agency is trying to reign them in even if that means bringing in a rival ex Secret Service hatchet-woman turned EPA auditor. Its worth noting that the Secret Service have a long history of resentment towards the Park Police due to overlapping jurisdictions within Washington DC and their general lack of discipline with their rivalry often breaking out into outright hostility including the assault and detention of a black Secret Service agent. Being a former Secret Service agent, Taylor would be well aware of the Park Police's reputation before her appointment.

Her appointment was rushed through by Park Service’s associate director of visitor and resource protection Jennifer Flynn, seemingly against the wishes of the police union who expected the Park Service to rubber stamp their candidate like previous appointments.

To which I say-- Lol. Lmao even. The Park Police are clearly used to appointing their own oversight and have an incredibly disproportionate amount of power within the NPS that is increasingly at odds with the rest of the agency. All this in mind, it really reads like Flynn brought Taylor in as a deliberate outsider in the hopes of bringing more oversight to the organization that won't immediate fold to the union or engage with their over-up plans every time the Park Police murder someone.

Jennifer Flynn, for her part, doesn't come from the Park Police but instead spent her whole career as a Park Ranger working in various capacities. Maybe its just me but when you see her you think "oh yeah that's definitely what I would expect a park ranger to look like" unlike the hotdog necks at the USPP. While only the associate director, she's been working quietly and smartly to find ways to reign in the park police including amending their jurisdiction over "felony investigations of property crimes, and crimes against society such as serious drug related offenses" under the guise of staffing cuts. To be clear, she unilaterally made the decision that the Park Police may no longer investigate or arrest citizens for non-violent offenses. Again, I can't help but see this as a direct response from sympathetic members of the agency to the Park Police's killing of Bijan Ghaisar to gradually remove the Park Police's authority to carry out law enforcement except when absolutely necessary.

Its an interesting situation to be sure, and while I don't count these two ladies as any sort of socialist heroes on "our side" (they're federal enforcement officers at the end of the day) I'm willing to lend them critical support in their attempts to quietly defang the Park Police. Maybe its wishful thinking but I like to imagine based on everything I've read that there is some sort of concentrated deliberate effort being done here that's successfully circumvented politics by *actually wielding authority to drive positive change* even if they know the limits of their authority necessitates that they do it quietly. USPP clearly thinks of themselves as police officers first and members of the National Parks Service second, and are clearly at odds with the rest of their organization's values. I hope this continues until we see the Park Police be restructured into glorified mall cops with no institutional influence while the bulk of their role is taken over by more responsible organizations within the NPS like the National Park Service Law Enforcement Rangers and other special agents that prioritize the safety of the public over brutalizing people over property enforcement & petty crimes.

Why am I posting this here???... Because so much of my writing has to do with the National Parks Service and the Department of the Interior. Here I am with potentially a genuine case of inter-agency intrigue while conducting completely unrelated research. You can't blame me for wanting to dig into this more and see where it goes. Consider this a story, food for thought, when thinking about these organizations.

Mountain Memories: 1930s Sunrise Ranger Program

Ranger-led programs have a long history in the National Park Service, with many early rangers also serving as park naturalists. This historic footage captures portions of a ranger-led walk in the Sunrise area circa 1930s, featuring subalpine wildflowers and views of the Emmons Glacier.

I've listened a lot more encounter stories from WLA on YouTube, this time about Park Rangers. There's been so amazing stories! Park Ranger found a group of Crawler looking crestures eating a lost hiker, one PR had got lost while forest turned burning hot so he sat by the tree. Lots of black tall creatures appeared there screaming in pain, one of them touching this PR on the cheek causing him to pass out. He woke up in hospital, having red burned hand print on his cheek. One came face to face with tall black figure with a huge animal skull with antlers. One PR got lost in the forest where time was quicker than normally. He had been in there for 2 hours in our time but his wristwatch showed he had been there 2 days already. He managed to get out but only after his watched showed him being there for a week. He lost his partner in that forest / time hole who was never found. Lost hikers were found but they had aged a lot, dying in hospital few days later. Two PRs were attacked by a dogman very badly. Ambulance came to help them (very late) but the teller never heard from his friend again. Not knowing did he survive or not. One PR with his co-worker went in the forest to investigate, finding a portal. PR's partner went to touch it, being sucked in. PR went to get help, report about this to his superior. Portal or his friend was never found.

These all are AMAZING and VERY EXCITING stories to me personally because I believe we are not only creatures on Earth. Never haven't been, never won't be. However, there's one thing what makes me angry.

All these PRs, who survived, either retired / quit their job (which I understand) or moved in another park area to work, but way too many WERE fired or forced to sign this top secret paper which forced them to shut up and forget it all. "It never happened. You saw and know nothing." One PR's boss even had said: "You will see things here a lot and every time you will sign this paper. Get used to it."

SO! Higher level of PRs, USA's army AND government KNOWS what there is and their job is to make sure people keep their mouth shut (to prevent panic, collapse of religions etc). If there was NOTHING to hide, none of those 3 sources wouldn't force their workers to retire / quit and sign up papers to stay quiet.

This kind of behavior ALWAYS pisses me off because in my mind people has right to know! Not to mention that is VERY suspicious! It's ridiculous to think and believe there isn't more than us humans and Earth's animals.
