Morning Star Boys Ranch
Morning Star Boys Ranch is a group home for boys located in Spokane, Washington.
Many associate the term "morning star" with Lucifer, although the term has also been used to represent Jesus in the Bible, Phosphorus in Greek mythology, and others.
19 sexual abuse lawsuits were filed against Morning Star Boys Ranch, starting in 2005. Only one went to trial. The litigation lasted seven years and damaged Morning Star's reputation. In 2012, the Seattle Times reported that the number of unresolved claims against Morning Star Boys Ranch was up to more than two dozen, and that these claims were being settled outside of court.
The allegations named Father Joe Weitensteiner, who began his career with Morning Star Boys Ranch in 1960 as a counselor and was promoted to director in 1966 after becoming an ordained priest. These allegations were dismissed, and he was reinstated as a priest by the Diocese. He now works for the Morning Star Foundation, whose major beneficiary is Morning Star Boys Ranch.
The allegations also named defrocked priest and pedophile Patrick O'Donnell, along with several counselors. Instead of handing O'Donnell over to law enforcement, after admitting to molesting "dozens of teenagers boys over three decades", the Catholic church tried to treat his pedophilia. When that failed, he was defrocked but never faced any jail time for his crimes. As of 2008, he was "free to roam" and living in La Conner, Washington.
One particularly disturbing detail of some allegations is that some of the abuse occurred on overnight stays outside of Morning Star Boys Ranch:
Morning Star officials...acknowledged recently that visitors were not required to register their names in ranch log books.
Morning Star Boys Ranch is still currently in operation.
Jim West
In 2005, Spokane's then-mayor Jim West was accused of molesting two boys while West was a Spokane sheriff's deputy and a boy scout leader. The other leader of West's troop, David Hahn, committed suicide in 1981 after being told to reisign or risk facing a criminal investigation.
West was on the board of directors for Morning Star Boys Ranch for 12 years. He resigned in 2005, after the accusations of pedophilia were brought to light. "[David] Hahn's brother-in-law, Dick Walters, said he clearly remembers that Hahn and West checked out boys from Morning Star for recreational outings."
Gonzaga University
While I was working through this information, I began to notice a possible connection to Gonzaga University, located in Spokane. It has its own startling set of child abuse/cover-up allegations:
-
In 1961, John Leary, a Catholic priest, became president of Gonzaga University. In 1969, Spokane police discovered that Leary had molested several young boys and at least one Gonzaga student. Instead of arresting/prosecuting him, they gave him a 24-hour window during which he was allowed to leave. He moved to California, where he founded New College of California in San Francisco. Later, he moved back to Spokane, where he died.
-
Gary Uhlenkott was a Jesuit priest and a professor of music at Gonzaga University when he was sentenced to six months in jail for downloading and viewing child pornography. "A United States Postal inspector determined that Uhlenkott repeatedly purchased child erotica and child pornography from the company's website. A review of his transactions showed Uhlenkott made 29 separate orders totaling $1,164.40 from the web site between 2008 and 2011. The billing address was Boone Ave. in Spokane and he had provided his Gonzaga email address.".
-
One Jesuit priest and teacher at Gonzaga Preparatory School (which is under the same Jesuit authority/umbrella as Gonzaga University), Michael Toulouse, molested multiple boys. The father of one of the boys brought a gun to Gonzaga University, where Toulouse lived, to confront him. However, he was talked down, and Toulouse was never prosecuted. Instead, he was re-located to teach at Seattle University.
-
In 2013, Timothy Woodard, a maintenance worker at Gonzaga, was charged with seven felonies, including first-degree rape and first-degree child molestation. Some of the events were said to have taken place on Gonzaga's campus. Woodard committed suicide before he was able to face charges.
The pedophiles involved in the Morning Star Boys Ranch allegations all attended Gonzaga:
I also noticed that many high-ranking people involved in law enforcement and politics in Spokane have attended either Gonzaga Preparatory School or Gonzaga University:
To be fair, Gonzaga is local and considered one of the top law schools in the area, so it makes sense for at least some of these people to attend. But all of them? I'm not so sure.
To conclude, there are a number examples of sexual abuse in Spokane, many of which have overlapping connections, such as Morning Star Boys Ranch and Gonzaga Preparatory School/University. Is there something more here, or are these just a series of coincidences?

That's a great post. Yes, Morning Star is Lucifer, Horus, light bringer (according to mystery religions).
Crensch ago
Were you ever going to support your claims about the mods?
What pertinent and relevant threads were taken down, @Piscina?
Why do you jump on the bandwagon with a bunch of shills when the subverse is very clearly getting attacked?
twistedmac11 ago
Don't start shit on my post man. You've already got posts going about the shills, do it there.
Crensch ago
Do you normally tell adults what to do?
I do, and I did.
twistedmac11 ago
Dude, don't be a bitch. All I'm saying is you've already got multiple posts going about them. No need to follow them around everywhere, especially on posts that have nothing to do with that. Harassing users with shit unrelated to the OP is what shills and fags do. If you want to be treated like an adult, act like one.
Crensch ago
Bitches try to tell adults what to do.
And I agreed with you.
And they bring it with them when they choose not to respond.
It might be what I start doing to people that attack my mods until they either provide evidence, or apologize. These "users" that suspiciously hop on the bandwagon to attack the mod team with absolutely no justification don't really deserve to be able to continue to operate unimpeded here. Their carefully-made accounts should be marred by their misdeeds - the spectre of those misdeeds showing everyone that they appear to have an ulterior motive for being here.
What's great is that with a comment, I can link you directly to those misdeeds. The way I see it, this is absolutely PG-related.
Happy to hear your thoughts on it, though, bitch.

Thanks for your excellent and well-presented research.
I find it interesting that Morning Star Ranch has a connection to Cardinal Blase Cupich, one of those implicated in Archbishop Vigano's recent letter naming sexual predators in the Catholic Church and those who have faciliated them. Also note yet another person connected with the ranch with the last name Condon: https://archive.fo/RCp5C
Cupich served as the bishop of the Diocese of Spokane, Washington from 2010 to 2014: https://archive.fo/G1yHX
In 2016, church traditionalists were alarmed when the pope named him to serve with disgraced Cardinal Donald Wuerl in Washington, DC, where they played key roles in choosing future U.S. bishops: https://archive.fo/A2ye3#selection-963.1-963.83
Excerpt from the article:
carmencita ago
Just saw your mention of Condon. Were you thinking of Gary Condon the one that they were investigating for the murder of Chandra Levy? I think they are still trying to stick that case on someone to take the rap for Condon.
Factfinder2 ago
You're thinking of Gary Condit. I mentioned the name Condon because that was the name of one of the accused in the OP, and because @twistedmac11 pointed out in a comment that the mayor's last name is also Condon.
carmencita ago
Oops yes. The Counselor Condon. I checked but could not find connection. But it was late and I stopped. Could be cousin etc.
carmencita ago
Wow. Great find. I saw Cupich on tv and I wanted to throw something at him He was born in Omaha Neb. of all places. Home of Buffet and stomping grounds of Lawrence King. Cupich was an altar boy. A Perfect Storm.
twistedmac11 ago
Good find, I hadn't come across Cupich yet!

well done...why do all roads genuinely lead to Rome?....
every major/ semi major city on the West Coast deserves this attention (unfortunately...)

Holy Shit Q gave the submarine that fired off the missile attack on Hawaii and the sub that launched the missile attack on AF1.
Ok follow me, because it’s a little confusing. On November 14th, an Argentinian submarine ARA San Juan disappeared along with 44 crew members as it was being “chased by a British helicopter” before it went missing. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/666845/Argentina-submarine-missing-ARA-San-Juan-mystery-Falkland-Islands-South-Atlantic/amp
It’s said, the last known communication was November 15th, which was an explosion (or possible hull implosion) was picked up by listening devices on November 15. but on the 14th, it was being chased. Early articles in Argentina claimed the submarine reported a leaking snorkel, which started a fire in the battery compartment late on November 14, and that an explosion (or possible hull implosion) was picked up by listening devices on November 15.
https://medium.com/dfrlab/rt-twists-argentinas-submarine-tragedy-e2b909bb0b30
If you know your history, you know that the UK and Argentina had a war over the Faukland islands and the UK won. https://www.britannica.com/event/Falkland-Islands-War
So, a submarine capable of firing a nuclear missile. Is lost. In case your wondering how a nuclear missile is fire out of a torpedo tube here’s a good explaination. https://www.quora.com/How-does-a-submerged-submarine-fire-a-cruise-missile
Its about 8,000 miles from the Faukland Islands to Honolulu
The ARA San Juan travels about 8 knots an hour for 12.000 miles
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/distanceresult.html?p1=630&p2=103
it takes less than one month to travel from Faukland Islands to Honolulu.
I also takes about one month to travel from Faukland Islands to Puget Sound WA. https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/distanceresult.html?p1=630&p2=234
From Puget Sound to Honolulu its only about 2700 miles. https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/distanceresult.html?p1=103&p2=234
now this gives the Cabal plenty of time to go directly to Hawaii or Puget Sound first and get refueled and nuclearized.
Because, its 61 days from the helicopter chasing the Sub, to the event at Hawaii.
Remember, that number 61? It’s the same amount of days from the firing of the missile in Puget Sound to the stolen Q400 air plane.
Q!!mG7VJxZNCI11 Aug 2018 - 3:21:45 PM How do you prevent the public release of incriminating acts that would forever strip their power away? How do you BIND the hands of POTUS? Two-Pronged SITU.
The firing of the missile on June 12th was not supposed to happen that’s two a two prong situation that was not supposed to between Hawaiian Alarms and the Puget sound missile fire launch.
So, its 61 days between November 14th and Jan 13th. Then 61 days between June 12 to August 31, 2018
https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/man-steals-plane-and-crashes-after-chase-with-fighter-planes-in-seattle/news-story/e8488e9a3de92db21dbd48ff3cbfef03
The sub was stolen from Argentina, the crew was killed and/or held prisoners and used to start a nuclear war with NK. When the sub was destroyed, they had to use tehir nuclear powered sub hidden in Puget Sound where its hard to pin point to try and fire on AF1 after NK talks to once again try and start a war. The writing is on the wall.

Are there also reports of children's feet with shoes washing up on the shore around there? I heard something about this on Patriots Soapbox 24/7 YouTube
carmencita ago
UpVoat! You have done a phenomenal job on this horrid story. We did research on this before but I can't seem to find it in the Search. Thanks for bringing it to light again. I have a feeling there are some elites in the area involved here. Possibly allowing them to abuse these boys. This is a horrible and degrading link here This is what they did to those boys
https://www.bishop-accountability.org/news2005_07_12/2005_08_25_AP_BoysRanch.htm
The lawsuit filed in Spokane County Superior Court on Wednesday contended that in one incident, two counselors forced several boys to pose for photographs with flowers protruding from their rectums.
The lawsuit, the latest in a string of abuse allegations against the ranch, said those photographs were circulated among the staff and residents at Morning Star, and were kept in the desk of the Rev. Joseph Weitensteiner, the ranch's revered director.
"It was a joke to them," the former resident, identified in court documents as W.K., said in a July interview with The Spokesman-Review newspaper.
Timothy Kosnoff, a Seattle attorney representing the two men, could see no purpose to the photos.
"Why does a middle-aged priest keep photos in his desk of boys with flowers sticking out of their ass?" Kosnoff wondered.
W.K., whose parents were deaf and mute, arrived at Morning Star at age 9 because his parents were unable to care for him. He was the youngest boy at the ranch, he said.
According to the court document, at age 12, W.K. and several other boys were sick and confined to their beds. Counselor William Condon and another counselor entered the room with a handful of irises and a jar of Vaseline, the documents said.
"They told us to drop our drawers and lay down on the bed and spread open, greased our butt and stuck the flower in us, and stuck them straight up," W.K. said in an interview. "And then they said the first boy that the first flower that falls over gets hacked (spanked). That's what happened."
Condon died last month, but in an interview this spring denied he ever sexually abused a child.
I remember researching this place before but can't find it in the Search. I remember a boy committing suicide that went there. Can't find.
twistedmac11 ago
Interesting that he shares a last name with the current Spokane mayor, David Condon.
In regards to the boy committing suicide, I saw this just earlier today but can't find it either. I'll keep looking.
carmencita ago
I can't remember his name but some came out to speak in his defense. I think some of the threads where under posts about CPS because there are so many homes that they send foster children to. Morning Star just happened to be one of many. But they have been in business for years receiving huge bundles of cash from our govt. Burns me up. Yes, this Condon could be related.

gr8 job on this post, you have shown that this definetly needs looking into, good find
carmencita ago
We researched this quite a while ago but I can't seem to find it in the Search. Horrid stuff. Yes, this is a great post.
new4now ago
There is no doubt some kind of network up there, same as all the other states
The Catholic Church system needs to burn to the ground
One would think the people of that faith would be the one with the matches
they forget its not so much their faith that is in questioned but those they have put in charge
I personally question all organize religions, but understand why people need something to believe in
The Catholic Church, what it has become, needs to come down
question is, Is worth rebuilding
This is not just the Catholic Church either
they are the Pedo Stars of US religions, but there are so many more
What religious groups steal children?
Mennonites have been on my radar for awhile now
so many :(
I think its time people put their faith were it belongs.....in themselves
carmencita ago
At a time when we know that all faiths are lying and most are caught up in the abuse of children, I agree. It's not just the RCC but they play a huge part in it. We do not know who to trust. It's really sad.
new4now ago
I think what is sad, is that there is NO ONE in the religious communities that will take a stand against pedophillia
has the brainwashing gone too far?
found this article
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/how-kinds-will-groom-society/
and this is how they have been and are doing it
so much that has enabled it :(
carmencita ago
I am still reading. Frightening. I have ready to vomit.
new4now ago
I had to stop myself, regroup lol
these people have warped hard drives
makes them rabid
then its get down with the sickness
( borrowed from a movie lol)
They want out of the closet...... said in a Vincent Price voice and laugh
carmencita ago
I am sorry but I just could not finish it. I had to stop twice, and thought I was going to barf. They are serious about this. We must not think this is a joke. Teaching Tolerance is a program offered by SPLC. Think about that for a while. This must be spread. You should do a post on it. This is Normalization of the worst kind. They are against using the words Victim and Survivor because it implies children die from sex. I am taking this seriously. What usually happens is people think this is a joke and will go nowhere but by the time they realize it is for real, it will be too late. Just like the Trans program and now we have them turning little kids into trannies and transvestites and we have that boy whose parents approve of him being a Drag Queen. This is how we got to where we are today. Ignoring it.
