This article by Sean Mac Sherry, published on July 2, 2025, claims that the reported Coeur d’Alene sniper incident, where a man allegedly set a brush fire to shoot responding firefighters, is a staged psyop. The author dismisses the event as a “B-movie script” and criticizes mainstream media outlets like The Guardian for promoting the narrative. The article suggests the incident is a ploy to increase gun sales by playing on fears, coinciding with the 4th of July.

The author then provides a description of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, portraying it as a wealthy town known for its lakefront properties and exclusive golf courses like Gozzer Ranch Golf and Lake Club, frequented by celebrities such as the Wahlbergs and Kardashians. The town is also dubbed “Blue City” or “Cop Land” due to its large population of retired law enforcement, including Mark Fuhrman, who investigated the O.J. Simpson murder case, which the author claims was also fake.

The article links Coeur d’Alene to the Aryan Nations, founded by Richard Girnt Butler, and connects this to the alleged shooter’s “Nazi tendencies” as reported by an “ex-classmate” named Harry Standley. The author also points to the shooter’s supposed fascination with the Norwegian black metal band Darkthrone as further “evidence” of this manufactured narrative. The article also mentions the Aryan Nations compound near Hayden, Idaho, and a training exercise where firefighters allegedly burned down the vacant compound on the same date as the shooting.

The author then scrutinizes the role of “Oliya ‘Scootercaster’,” identified as a Ukrainian-American Journalist, and questions her documentation of alleged “psyops,” including the “fake war in Ukraine”. The narrative then shifts to the alleged shooter, a 20-year-old named Wess Roley, who is claimed to have killed two firefighters and critically injured a third, Fire Engineer David Tysdal. The author speculates on Tysdal’s name and its potential connections to historical figures and families.

The article questions the logistics of the manhunt, including the tracking of the shooter’s phone and the presence of a vehicle linked to the attack. The author expresses skepticism about the official account of the shooter being found dead from a self-inflicted wound with a shotgun, arguing it’s not a weapon for long-range sniping.

Subsequently, the story reportedly changes, with Wikipedia providing an updated account naming the gunman as 20-year-old Wess Roley, who allegedly spoke to the first crew before opening fire with a shotgun. The author dismisses the name “Wess Roley” as fake and suggests it has Jewish origins. The article also notes that one of the deceased firefighters was Battalion Chief John Morrison, linking this name to Sheriff Robert Norris, a former LAPD lieutenant with extensive intelligence connections, including training with Mossad and Shin Bet. The other deceased firefighter is identified as Battalion Chief Frank Harwood.

The author further questions the deletion of Roley’s Instagram account and the official explanation for it. The article suggests that Roley’s family has a tree business in Langley, Oklahoma, linking it to CIA headquarters. The author proposes that the firefighters themselves started the fire to allow for “post-fire logging” profits, a scheme that benefits companies like the Roleys’. The article concludes by suggesting that the entire event serves as a form of promotion for Coeur d’Alene, using it to boost tourism, and as a tool for fearmongering to facilitate governance.
