KATI BAKER
PARK SUPERVISOR
HONEYMAN STATE PARK
Every institutional action taken against me originated from decisions made under her direct supervision. One park supervisor who could not tolerate documentation — shielded at every level of the institution, from the park to the director to the governor’s office, and across agency lines to federal law enforcement.
THE ORIGIN
At 6:00 AM, after I had been managing distressed guests alone since 3:00 AM during a power outage, I asked my supervisor for operational clarity. Her response felt dismissive. I named her tone in a follow-up email — a professional, documented request for the guidance I needed to do my job.
That email became the origin point of everything that followed. Not because I did anything wrong. Because I said it in writing, and it created a record.
DOCUMENTED ACTIONS
February 9, 2025
Responded dismissively to operational questions about power outage protocols. Escalated after receiving documented feedback about her tone. The February 9 email exchange was weaponized repeatedly as justification in subsequent proceedings — in both written and recorded documentation.
February – March 2025
Receiver of confidential disclosures Logan Bliss transmitted from me. Information shared in supervisory confidence was delivered to Baker and used to build the case for removal.
March 5, 2025
Present during the 62-minute coercive meeting at the picnic table. Silent for the first 19 minutes while Ryan Warren built his case. Her first word was “tone” — spoken once, precisely timed, reframing every email I had ever written as threatening. She said nothing while Warren told me to chew glass and swallow it. She said nothing while he mocked my sexuality. She said nothing while he admitted he had never given me the benefit of the doubt.
When Warren’s admission destabilized his own argument, she attacked. Fifty minutes in, she returned to the only thing they ever had: a text message from the first week of February that we had already resolved. She confirmed on tape that she had invented an interpretation of my job application withdrawal email — attaching meaning that was never there, that I had never stated, that existed in no correspondence — and brought it to that table as evidence against me.
I told her I liked her. She said “okay.” That is on the tape.
March 18, 2025
An unidentified man approached me while I was cleaning yurts alone. No uniform. No name. No identification. He said he was “with the park service” and was taking photos of dirty yurts mid-clean with doors propped open. Then he pressed me with direct personal questions about leadership treatment. All rangers were away at a regional event. I documented the encounter with Kati the same day. She responded within the hour with a fully-formed justification: he was from IT, taking site photos. Two days later she followed up unprompted to confirm the story a second time. The cover story collapsed nearly a year later when I encountered the same man on a Forest Service trail — he is local, not IT, drives an unmarked state vehicle, and stopped coming immediately after recognizing me in uniform.
WHAT THIS ESTABLISHES
Kati Baker is present across five stages of the displacement framework. She is the origin event — the moment a written record was created, she became the decision-maker who set the entire sequence in motion. She received Logan’s transmitted disclosures. She participated in the escalation. She sat at the coercion meeting and intervened only to attack. She provided the cover story for the surveillance encounter and reinforced it unprompted two days later.
Every level of the institution shielded her — from the park manager to the engagement programs manager to the director to the governor’s office, and across agency lines to federal law enforcement. Nine stages of displacement because one park supervisor could not tolerate a volunteer who created a written record.
