Why are Musk, Vance, Homeland Security coming and going

Last edited Sat Jun 7, 2025, 11:42 AM - Edit history (2)

in and out of Missoula freaking Montana? Last weekend, Elon Musk flew into Missoula. He was shuttled up to the Paw’s Up resort for a three hour-ish meeting. His jet shuttled wealthy well connected people in and out all weekend. They also went to the Paws Up. The pilot of his plane spoke with my kiddo and when asked who these people were, the pilot said “I can’t tell you their names but what these people are involved in is on the front page of the paper every day”.

JD Vance is coming tomorrow and headed to the Paws Up. The FAA has restricted our air spade for his arrival and departure. Secret Service has been busy at the private FBO where he will be received and all employees at that FBO have signed NDA’s. Two C17’s are also coming with Homeland Security on board. 50 rooms have been reserved at one hotel to house them. Guess the government doesn’t want to pay to keep them at the swanky Paws Up.

WTH is happening? Why here?

ETA: UPDATE…The FAA has lifted the airspace restrictions for today. It appears Vance has cancelled his trip. Curiouser and curioser. If I hear anything else, I’ll post it here. Thanks for your interest everyone.

The super rich want their own currency to play around in.

Krasnov has made 3 billion dollars this year from Crypto.

Everything that Krasnov is doing economically is designed to weaken the dollar and strengthen Crypto.

Krasnov's tariffs, his Big tax breaks that increase the deficit, his demanding that Jerome lower interest rates, are all designed to weaken the dollar and strengthen Crypto.

That hotel in Moskva is costing us all a lot of money.
This phase of the plan given to Krasnov in the secret meeting was to have been implemented four years ago, but was interrupted by Biden's surprise victory. Putin was forced to invade Ukraine without Krasnov's help. The conduct of the War was slowed by the failure to install Klepto in the US in time to confound accountability and provide funding for the War and Black Ops supporting the destruction of Democracy in America. Now that they've sopped the investigative branches of government and installed quislings in positions of power, the plan is now getting back on track. Yahr Null is on its way.

Fri Jun 6, 2025, 10:46 AM

Further down in the article, Musk’s unconfirmed presence in Missoula was included.

The announcement of the flight restriction comes on the heels of unconfirmed reports that billionaire Elon Musk’s plane landed in Missoula last weekend. An anonymous reddit account that track’s Musk’s jets alleged his plane landed in Missoula on Friday and took off on Saturday. The social media account also alleged Musk’s plane landed again in Missoula for one hour on Sunday.

As of Wednesday evening, the Missoulian was unable to confirm whether Musk’s plane had landed or whether he was on the aircraft.
What could be happening in our little mountain town that would draw such VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE? I have some ideas, but I’m saving ’em for the writing I do NOT immediately publish for readers to read for free.

Needless to say, I think something big might be brewing, so stay tuned for whatever curious tidbits I turn up.

I only know that because my kiddo was working at the airport that day. Most of us assume that something big is going on behind the scenes. But here in little Missoula? It is very strange. It is amazing to me that the media hasn’t been able to confirm Musk being here or Vance coming tomorrow. They haven’t contacted the right people at the airport. NDA’s have been distributed and signed. I’ve got a video of Musk getting on his plane that I’ve been sworn not to share.

Jun 2025

If he had been listened to, instead of the Wizards using a "hands off" approach, Sauron would have been conquered earlier and the progress of the Age of Men happen sooner.
Thiel never got the point of Tolkien. But he was aware enough of the pop-culture references to use it as a source of cool, otherworldly names.

What I do find ironic is that both Tolkien and Thiel/Vance converted to Catholicism, though obviously far different versions. The Franciscan with flavors of Jesuite version Tolkien followed is much different than the Opus Die/Rad-Trad version the Right Wingers follow.
The difference between Gandalf and Saruman, indeed.

... that I see with that course of action is that granting The South End of a Northbound Yak immunity, is, yet again, letting this sonofabitch escape accountability for his mountain of crimes. It would also mean that those who enabled him will walk away scot free as well, which opens the door for others to take up where he left off, knowing that a grotesquely corrupt judiciary will give them a Get Out Of Jail Free card, too. I think we – and especially the hardcore MAGAts – really need to know the depth and breadth of his treachery, and his sociopathic disregard for the victims of his mendacity and greed. I want there to be NO wiggle room for him to rehabilitate his already severely tarnished image. And ultimately, letting Trump get away with it tells the country, and the world, that the law is intended to protect oligarchs, and to punish their victims when they protest. That is intolerable.
The nation has suffered irreparable harm because of him, and to let him skate this time could turn out to be a monstrous mistake. The same goes for the conservatives on the SCOTUS. As much as they may think otherwise, they are NOT above the law, either.

the C17’s. I guess it depends on how secret this is. A 757 landing in Missoula will get attention.

Right?

Paws Up is notorious for not treating their employees well. They go through people like nothing I’ve seen. I can’t afford that place and wouldn’t want to.

P.S. Thank you for keeping us informed.

Looks like some coincidences being planned.

I’ll be watching the skies…and the airport. Still trying to nail down what time Vance lands. I’ll post any updates.

70. The Missoula subreddit says NYT reported on it...

Of course everyone believes there is more than meets the eye, but it's on people's radar, so hopefully employees will reveal what really has happened.

They're saying it's a tech symposium. But this subreddit is discussing it; other subreddits probably are as well.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention MontanaMama!

My narrow white ass.

These shitheads all think they are smarter than anyone else about every damn thing.

They are dangerous as hell.

Missoula has a very active subreddit and this squeaked by me. This explains all the comings and goings of the super wealthy last weekend. Musk’s jet shuttled a bunch of these folks in and out. Saquon Barkley came in on his own jet. Same with grifting pastor Kenneth Copeland.

A palace coup to take down the disgraceful Republican draft dodger and grifter. Could this be part of that?

As I said above, if Vance ends up coming in on AF2, it will be noticed. The word on the street is that he’s coming in on a C17 and the Homeland Security folks are coming in on a second C17.

78. Planning the rest of the coup. Kind of similar to the Apalachin meeting, 11/4/1957.

a historic summit of the American Mafia. This time justice is a member of the crime family.

The Missoula airport closure for VIP is abruptly cancelled. I suspect this is good news.

So it makes sense that it’s now “cancelled.” Still, the question of why the VP and a top aide are repeatedly flying out of Missoula is a big one.

we’re apparently at the Paws Up resort for some kind of tech meeting. It is never good when Peter Thiel is around. The guy is evil. We fear a data center being planned for Montana.

96. There's too many heavy hitters for just a data center.

A data center could have an environmental impact but is really uncontroversial. Vance could be getting instructions from his masters.

Headed south to Dillon, MT. There is a crypto mine slated for that area but as you said…all of this oligarch activity may tell us so much bigger is happening. Wish I knew.

I knew there had to be a billionaire ranch down in that area. At 94, Murdoch ought to be leaving the planet sometime soon.

Sadly, I think it’s the former.
