TIMELINE
FEBRUARY 9, 2025 — ONGOING
FEBRUARY — MARCH 2025: ABUSE AND DISMISSAL
- February 9, 2025The park supervisor responds dismissively to operational questions about power outage protocols. I send follow-up email naming her tone. Same day: the park manager confronts me alone, cataloging first-week mistakes. I try to reset.
- February (ongoing)Systematic undermining of supervisor relationships. The volunteer services lead elicits trust through reciprocal vulnerability, then distances himself. I document the pattern with the "Trust" email on March 2.
- March 5, 2025The park manager and the park supervisor summon me to public picnic table for over an hour of psychological pressure. The park manager tells me to "chew glass and swallow it," admits I was never given benefit of the doubt, repeatedly suggests I leave. Entire meeting recorded.
- March 10, 2025The program manager calls about the March 5 recording. Informs me I was "acting as an agent of the state" — reframing my self-protection as a violation. Follow-up call the same day: tells me to "get through my time," dismisses documented abuse.
- March 18, 2025Unidentified man approaches me while cleaning yurts alone during a regional event when all rangers are away. Interrogates me about leadership treatment. I document immediately with the park supervisor. Explained as "IT photo documentation" — no photos ever produced. The park supervisor was at the regional event. She had told me earlier that week she would be. She responded within the hour with a fully-formed justification.
- March 24, 2025The park manager dismisses me by phone, six days before scheduled completion. Stated reason: homeless man's lost journal. One hour later: arrives at my RV to collect keys, admits on camera no formal documentation exists.
- March 25, 2025The program manager calls to contain the situation. The volunteer services lead's disclosures weaponized as "concerning behavior." Complete refusal to engage with documented abuse. I record the call.
- March 26, 2025I send detailed letter to the program manager attempting accountability. Hours later: permanent dismissal from all Oregon State Parks volunteer programs, explicitly citing my public speech about the abuse.
MAY — DECEMBER 2025: SILENCE AND ESCALATION
- May 26, 2025Name the March 18 surveillance encounter directly to the program manager. Document what the email thread proves. Name the cover story as cover. No response.
- August 15, 2025Escalate March 18 encounter to Director Lisa Sumption with full documentation. Ask three direct questions: do those photos exist, were they published, was the encounter logged. No response.
- August 22, 2025Submit comprehensive public records request. OPRD remains silent for 90 days.
- August 25, 2025Send open letter to Director Lisa Sumption with comprehensive documentation. She responds within 12 hours with procedural language, no commitments.
- November 15, 2025Issue Notice of Violation for OPRD's failure to respond to public records request.
- November 18, 2025Governor Tina Kotek's office sent formal complaint.
- November 20, 2025OPRD responds claiming they posted response to inaccessible internal portal on August 29. Cost estimate: tens of thousands of dollars. I withdraw the request.
DECEMBER 2025: THE ARCHIVE LAUNCHES
- December 7, 2025Send final message to Director Sumption, including supplemental surveillance evidence and video documentation. She responds December 8, reframing documentation as emotional processing, closes communication.
- December 8, 2025Director Sumption calls comprehensive documented evidence "emotional processing" and closes communication. I register oprdvolunteerabuse.org with my last $7 and begin building the public evidentiary archive.
- December 10, 2025Send letter naming the volunteer services lead's betrayal to the volunteer services lead. CC: the park supervisor, the park manager, the program manager, and Lisa Sumption.
- December 11, 2025Build dedicated section documenting Director Lisa Sumption's decisions. Send message: "I will continue my accountability work where it will have the greatest institutional effect."
- December 13, 2025Governor Tina Kotek's campaign contacted.
JANUARY — FEBRUARY 2026: LEGAL NOTICE AND INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSE
- January 16, 2026Send formal notice to the program manager documenting First Amendment retaliation. Demand written reversal of the expulsion, an independent investigation, and acknowledgment of the constitutional violation. Deadline: March 26, 2026 — one year from expulsion date.
- February 9, 2026Send additional letter to the program manager, subject "Harm." Name the full pattern of abuse and retaliation directly. Establish that institutional silence and reframing are themselves ongoing harm.
- February 13, 2026Deputy Director J.R. Collier writes to redirect all correspondence away from the program manager and other named staff. Letter characterizes documented First Amendment retaliation as dissatisfaction with "the decision to end volunteer service." Makes no substantive response to the notice. Instructs that any legal filing will be forwarded to Department of Justice counsel. A senior official mobilized to insulate the official whose own written words document the constitutional violation.
- February 13, 2026Respond same day to Deputy Director Collier's letter. Reject the premise that a public agency can dictate the terms of a citizen's correspondence. Name the "structured process" as an internal routing matter with no authority over constitutionally protected contact with a public agency.
- February 14, 2026Send full declaration to Collier, all named individuals, and Governor Kotek. Name every tactic in sequence: the recording, the retaliation, the surveillance, the weaponized disclosures, the sexuality mockery, the portal delay, the containment attempts. Establish that the archive stands because truth is absolute defense and nothing in it has been disputed or challenged. 325 days of constitutional violation named directly to every person responsible.
- February 16, 2026Send "Defining Abuse" email to all named individuals, OPRD Commissioners, and Governor Kotek. Document the full pattern: abuse, retaliation, intimidation, and now institutional mobilization in response to named legal exposure. Constitutional violation at 327 days ongoing.
FEBRUARY — MARCH 2026: SECOND ENCOUNTER
- Late February 2026Second encounter with the operative on a Forest Service trail that was part of my regular route. He had been visiting it regularly. He was surprised. He did not know I worked there. He has not returned. He is local. He is not IT. He drives a state vehicle with no identifying agency markings. The park supervisor's cover story collapsed without argument.
- March 2, 2026Second encounter documented in correspondence to all named individuals. Name what his presence on that trail proves: he is local, not IT, driving an unmarked state vehicle. This required authorization above the park level. The institution has never explained it. It cannot.
- March 11, 2026Final correspondence sent to all named individuals. The operative addressed directly. The door closed. Communication ended.
MARCH 2026: ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY
- March 23, 2026The eve of the anniversary of the dismissal. Launch of Autonomy Realms — a sovereign platform with Atlas mode, geotagged signals, and traces mapped to the exact ground where events occured. Anniversary email sent with map screenshot showing signals linked to their park. Video recorded seeking legal representation. ACLU of Oregon intake submitted.
- March 24, 2026One year after the dismissal. Three police officers arrive at a locked federal gate on federal land where I serve as a volunteer caretaker. They state they are concerned about what I am posting online. I decline to speak without an attorney and shut the door. I record them leaving. Twenty minutes later, a man identifying himself as Forest Service calls — hostile, tells me this isn’t going away. He is later confirmed as Special Agent Matthew Oliver, Law Enforcement & Investigations.
- March 27, 2026File official Siuslaw National Forest Host/Caretaker Incident Report documenting the March 24 visit as intimidation. Report includes date, time, location, narrative description, and license plate number of one vehicle: 731 QRV.
- March 30, 2026Patrol Captain Felicia Sloan confirms Special Agent Matthew Oliver is employed by USFS Law Enforcement & Investigations, assigned to Willamette and Siuslaw National Forests. Confirms he does not need to coordinate with local law enforcement. When asked who authorized the visit and its purpose, she redirects to FOIA.
APRIL 2026: THE DISPLACEMENT FRAMEWORK
- April 2, 2026Issue formal litigation preservation notice to Oregon State Police.
- April 3, 2026File public records request with Oregon State Police requesting all records related to the March 24 visit — names, badge numbers, unit assignments, dispatch logs, communications, incident reports, and all coordination between OSP and USFS Special Agent Matthew Oliver or any OPRD employee. OSP responds same day: “no records responsive to your request.”
- April 3, 2026While walking the Waxmyrtle Trail in the Oregon Dunes, the displacement framework is named. One year after the first displacement was executed, and one week after the second when they brought police to his door. The weapon that connects all nine stages of documented institutional conduct — from the origin event through police intimidation — is identified, named, and recorded on the trail. The archive is restructured around it. A resource page for volunteers is created to give the pattern a name for those still inside it.
- April 13, 2026Ten days after the “no records” denial, and after I ask how the search was conducted, a CAD dispatch record for the March 24 visit is printed inside OSP’s Central Records Section. It is then withheld for three more months behind a fee I could not pay.
MAY 2026: FINAL STATEMENT
- May 4, 2026Send A Final Statement to the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. Name every actor in sequence. Name what each did. Close the chapter on my own terms. Abandon all future contact with the institution. The archive remains. It is complete. It is factual. It has never been legally challenged.
JULY 2026: THE RECORD SURFACES
- July 14, 2026Oregon State Police release CAD record SP26097765 with counsel’s certification of no exempt material. Record: no call type, priority low, officer initiated, no action taken; criminal unit; role “Other”; comment “FOR THE FOREST SERVICE // FOLLOWUP INTERVIEW W/ ROBERT WHITE”; primary unit Trooper Jake Hyde, badge 56397. Same day, send six questions to the responding unit’s supervisor.
- July 21, 2026The four named staff — the park manager, the park supervisor, the volunteer services lead, and the program manager — are identified by role rather than by name throughout the archive. Reasoning stated publicly.
- July 22, 2026Petition for Public Records Order filed with the Oregon Attorney General under ORS 192.411, concerning PR27478 and CAD event SP26097765 — 110 days after the request. Petition and twenty-five exhibits published in full.
- July 24, 2026The District Ranger, U.S. Forest Service, writes that the Forest Service did not initiate the March 24 interview and only unlocked the gate for OSP, which “does not have keys to Forest Service gates.” Same day, filed with the Attorney General as a supplemental exhibit.
- July 27, 2026Oregon State Police reopens PR27478, citing a “thorough review” that found “additional records, not in our system at the time of the original request,” with production estimated at three weeks. Second supplemental filed with the Attorney General.
