Anatomy Of A Hate Hoax: One Week And Still NO EVIDENCE of Alleged “Racist Incident” in Coeur d’Alene With Utah Basketball Team

North Idaho is not a “Racist Place” and everyone who lives here knows it.

(Coeur d’Alene, Idaho) — It has been one week since Tony Stewart of the Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations proclaimed that there had been “horrendous acts of hatred” in downtown Coeur d’Alene, against a Women’s Basketball team.

Now, almost two weeks since the incident occurred, there remains no evidence to support these claims.

According to Stewart’s Task-Force, the University of Utah Women’s Basketball team “encountered a truck displaying a Confederate flag as the driver began spewing appalling racial slurs at them, including the “N” word.”

The truck that allegedly accosted the players while they were on their way to a restaurant supposedly waited around for TWO HOURS for the team to eat dinner, and then harassed the team again on their way back to the Coeur d’Alene resort. The team was only staying in Coeur d’Alene because the NCAA “dropped the ball” and forgot to reserve the team a hotel 45 minutes away in Spokane.

The allegations of this “Racist Incident” were first made public by Utah Women’s Basketball Coach Lynn Roberts, shortly after her team lost a game against Gonzaga at the NCAA March Madness Tournament.

The Media instantly began salivating and rushed to report these allegations without any facts or evidence, dubbing it a “Racial Attack.”

That, of course, was before the audio of the 9/11 call and police bodycam footage was made public by Independent Journalist Casey Whelan.

The Media tried to keep up the façade, churning out headline after headline about “Hate Crimes,” “Racial Harassment” and so on, but the contradictions and holes in the story have simply become too overwhelming to ignore.

A picture is worth a thousand words…

The Confederate Flag Hoax and the KCTFHR

In the Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations’ (KCTFHR) Press Release, the so-called “human rights” NGO alleges that the truck had a Confederate Flag on it, yet this allegation is NOWHERE TO BE FOUND in the Police Report, the Body Cam Footage, or the 911 call.

So where did this alleged “Confederate Flag” come from, and how did this become part of the story?

Remember Rachel Dolezal?

The group who put out the Press Release, the Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations, which was founded by Tony Stewart and is presently headed up by Coeur d’Alene City Councilor Christie Wood, created a second organization called the Human Rights Education Institute (HREI) in 1998.

These two organizations were so closely tied together, it prompted an editor from the Coeur d’Alene Press to write:

“We believe greater delineation between the two organizations is needed, whether that's structural, a matter of changing public perception or both.

HREI is trying to grow into a broad-based human rights education organization, while the task force seems stuck on racism and its glory days of bringing down Richard Butler and his band of Aryan misfits.

Ignoring history may guarantee that it's repeated, but living in the past assures one never progresses. In our view, there is too much emphasis from the task force on what was, and not enough on what is or what can be. Constantly reliving the rise and fall of Butler's pathetic little empire does more than keep the past alive and give it ever greater significance in the annals of North Idaho; it reopens wounds among a compassionate populace. And it provides parasitic modern-day racists with the attention they must have to survive.

The blurry line between HREI and the Human Rights Task Force should be clarified and clear separation achieved.

Those “blurry lines” between the HREI, KCTFHR, and the world of politics continue to be a problem for our community to this day.

The HREI’s main claim to fame is that they are the former employer of documented Hate-Hoaxer, and Trans-Racial “activist” Rachel Dolezal.

In 2010, Dolezal left the HREI to go work at North Idaho College after she manufactured a series of hate crimes against herself, in an effort to garner sympathy.

No suspects were ever identified, and members of the community wanted Dolezal to take a polygraph test.

Sounds familiar, doesn’t it…

Is it possible that the Confederate Flag detail was added by the Task-Force to “give this story legs?”

Meet Robert Moyer

According to Police Records, the 911 call was made by a donor to the University of Utah named Robert Moyer.

During his interview with the police, which seemed to be more like a drunken rant, Moyer defamed the inhabitants of Coeur d’Alene as “redneck” “hillbilly” “white trash.” Moyer admitted that he didn’t witness the incident himself saying:

“Some of us didn't even realize what had happened until after they [the alleged racists] were gone, until we got to the restaurant and people are just like… you know?”

The police officer asked Moyer if the alleged slur was targeted at one of the students. Moyer said it wasn’t, instead saying that it was directed at “everybody.”

Watch:

$10,000 Reward Offered

Following the Task Force’s bogus press conference, the Chairman of the Kootenai County Republican Party (KCRCC) called their bluff, offering $10,000 for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the alleged truck-driving racist.

Over a week later, not only has nobody come forward with evidence, there still aren’t even any witnesses coming forward to police.

What Actually Happened?

While nobody is willing to go on record, we do think we are close to knowing what happened.

The college students had their dinner at Crafted Tap House, which is located on the North side of Sherman Avenue in Coeur d’Alene. In order to get back to the resort, the students would have had to cross the street.

What if: the students were crossing the street, and because there were “100 of them,” the lights would have probably cycled from red to green.

What if there was a truck sitting there, ready to go, but was held up by a bunch of rowdy college kids?

Is it plausible that he would have revved his engine? Would he have honked? Done both?

What if the kids began shouting at the truck because of this?

Is it possible that the driver shouted “F*** Move!” at the kids in return?

Real Motives Revealed

According to the Bodycam Footage, Moyer was upset that the team got parked in Coeur d’Alene instead of Spokane and wanted an excuse to get a new hotel. What a better way to not only get the team some publicity, but also get a new hotel?

And as for Coach Lynn Roberts, well, her team had just lost the NCAA’s March Madness tournament. I’m sure she would have loved anything that would take the attention off her coaching skills, and on to something that would generate sympathy and change the “narrative” about her team.

Both Moyer and Coach Roberts got their wish, and the rest of the people and businesses here in Coeur d’Alene will suffer the consequences.

How many millions of dollars in economic damage will be done to our city because of this Hate Hoax?

How many years will it take for our community to, once again, be free of harassment from the Liberal Journalists in this area, who defame this community as “Racists” and “Nazis” with every single op-ed they write?

What responsibility in this economic catastrophe does our liberal Mayor Jim Hammond bear in throwing our region under the bus so that Tony Stewart would have his narrative?

How about our Governor Brad Liberal?

Political Operatives like Christa Hazel and former GOP Chair Trent Clark?

I mean really Mr. Clark? “Reluctance to condemn, citing ‘doubts,’ […] were the hallmarks of Nazi sympathizers in WWII?” Come on…

These people are willing to destroy the economic vitality of their own community, just to spite local conservatives, and keep their tenuous hold on power in the area, just like they did at NIC.

Someone is going to have to pay for the economic damage done to our community because of this fake, ginned-up scandal.

We will get the answers to these questions in due time.

In the meantime, this Hoax is being used by liberal political operatives in an attempt overthrow the Conservative KCRCC, and replace every single Precinct Committeeman with a Woke liberal.
