The Whalen Report – From 1909 to Today: How History Fuels a Silver Valley Land Fight

Casey Whalen is an investigative journalist and independent media producer serving the State of Idaho, focused on uncovering corruption, documenting abuses of power, and amplifying citizen voices through grassroots reporting that bypasses traditional media gatekeeping. Through his Substack (caseywhalen.substack.com) and North Idaho Exposed on Rumble, his work has been featured by VICE News, One America News Network (OANN), the John Birch Society, Alex Newman's Liberty Sentinel, Infowars, and the documentary Never in America by Ryan Matta Media examining Idaho CPS's medical kidnapping of Baby Cyrus. Trained in videography, audio production, and documentary methods while working from a Spokane video studio from 2019-2022, Whalen has filmed thousands of hours of town halls, city council meetings, legislative hearings, and interviews, creating a public archive of civic activity across North Idaho while continuing to build independent media infrastructure that equips communities to hold public officials accountable.
