Further Retaliation

Three police officers, who did not identify their agency, arrived at rswfire's work center located behind a federal gate.

He documented the encounter in real time, including recording one of their vehicles. rswfire stated he has done nothing wrong and characterized the officers' presence on federal land as completely inappropriate intimidation for sharing the truth about what happened to him.

Seeking an Attorney

rswfire recorded a transmission on the eve of the one-year anniversary of his dismissal from the Oregon State Parks volunteer program at Honeyman State Park on the Oregon coast. He recounted the sequence of events: after two months at the park, he was given 24 hours to vacate. The following days, a regional coordinator weaponized personal disclosures he had made to his supervisor in trust, characterizing him as unstable and expelling him from the statewide program despite having a full year of placements already lined up. He described a pattern of abuse and retaliation over the two-month period, triggered by his documentation of their treatment. He detailed a specific incident where staff sat him at a picnic table for over an hour, told him to chew glass and swallow it, said he was never given the benefit of the doubt, told him he could leave, and claimed he made everyone uncomfortable — without citing specific incidents beyond an early conflict with a supervisor. He described an intimidation event approximately a week and a half before dismissal, when an out-of-uniform man appeared while all rangers were away at a regional event and pressed him with questions about leadership's treatment of him. He stated that the institution weaponized his sexuality as a gay man, implying he had romantic feelings for his male supervisor. He noted that the formal expulsion letter, issued on state letterhead, cited his protected free speech — specifically a video he made documenting their conduct — as the sole reason, and that the institution then went silent for a full year. rswfire stated he has one year remaining on his statute of limitations and a clean documentary record. He referenced a prior transmission where he discussed future plans and expressed reluctance to sue, but in this signal he clarified his position: he is seeking legal representation specifically from an attorney willing to pursue the case to the Supreme Court to establish rights and protections for volunteers in state park systems. He framed the core issue as the absence of any mechanism protecting volunteers from institutional abuse.

Declaring Thought Sovereignty Against Epistemic Violation

Disabling Comments Due to Judgmental Responses

Marking One-Year Anniversary of Surveillance Encounter

Stormchaser's Soliloquy II: Proof of Life

Clarifying Platform Use and Viewer Boundaries
