Christina McCoy: A Hypocrite in Disguise—How Gambling and Addiction Are Her Meal Ticket

Christina McCoy has a job—more accurately, a cushy career—helping individuals at Benteh Nuutah Four Directions Outpatient Treatment center. Her job? To treat addiction, to help people escape the destructive force of dependency. But here’s the thing: she’s actively undermining her own profession by supporting the opening of the Eklutna gaming hall. McCoy, who touts herself as a health care professional, is blind to the hypocrisy of her actions.

Like many slanderous individuals who seek to hide behind anonymity online, Christina McCoy has been known to use multiple aliases to shield her true identity. She has been seen operating under the names Christina E. Elliott, Christina Elizabeth Elliot, and Crissy Peratrovich-McCoy, attempting to manipulate public perception while avoiding accountability. This pattern of using different names is a tactic often employed by those looking to sow discord and evade responsibility for their actions, all while continuing their harmful behavior in the digital world.

Benteh Nuutah Four Directions, a treatment center that McCoy is a part of, offers crucial outpatient services for people struggling with substance use and behavioral health issues. The center’s goal is to provide comprehensive care to individuals seeking recovery. It boasts services that are available to anyone 18 and older, whether through Medicaid, Medicare, or a sliding scale based on income. At face value, it’s an admirable mission. However, let’s take a moment to step back and look at McCoy’s role in this entire disaster.

McCoy, as a vocal proponent of the Eklutna gaming hall, has aligned herself with an enterprise that does the complete opposite of what she supposedly stands for. The opening of the Eklutna casino will bring gambling, and with gambling comes addiction. The entire foundation of McCoy’s work is built on helping people recover from addiction, yet here she is, endorsing an initiative that will inevitably create more addicts. There’s something deeply unsettling about someone who profits from the misery of others while also claiming to be their healer.

The connection between gambling and addiction is well-documented. Gambling destroys lives. It leads to financial ruin, broken homes, depression, and violence. In fact, it’s often linked to a rise in sex work, drug abuse, and increased crime. McCoy, in supporting the casino, is not just a bystander. She’s an active participant in the very thing that will create more demand for her services. More gambling means more addiction—more work for McCoy. It’s a perverse business model: create the problem, and then treat it. More addicts equals more clients to treat, more addicts to manage. It’s that simple.

If McCoy had any shred of ethical integrity, she’d recognize the severe conflict of interest here. She works in an industry dedicated to healing addiction, yet she’s backing a project that will directly feed into it. The idea that McCoy doesn’t see the irony in this is either a lack of awareness or, more likely, a calculated move to line her own pockets. There’s money to be made from addiction, and McCoy is doing her part to ensure there’s an endless supply of addicts to treat.

The Attack and The Ridiculous Accusation of Racism

When I voiced my concerns on Facebook about the potential opening of the Eklutna casino, McCoy’s response was predictable and typical of the left-wing narrative she’s all too eager to play into. I made it clear that gambling doesn’t just hurt the individuals involved, but also the families and communities around them. I pointed out how casinos attract a slew of social issues like addiction, crime, and sex work. It wasn’t a complex argument. It wasn’t even particularly controversial. Yet, McCoy—a so-called healthcare professional—couldn’t argue on the merits. So, she resorted to name-calling.

In a cheap attempt to silence me, McCoy left a review on Peterson & Associates, Inc’s page accusing me of racism. She wrote: “Being openly racist while living on indigenous land isn’t a good look for business. Do better.”

Let’s be crystal clear here: my opposition to the casino had absolutely nothing to do with race. It was about the damage gambling does to individuals and families. But McCoy, unable to defend her indefensible position, went for the low-hanging fruit of race-baiting. It’s a tactic that the left loves to use: when they don’t have an argument, accuse their opponent of being a racist. It’s lazy, dishonest, and weak.

I corrected the record, responding that we live and work on sovereign American soil—land that is home to all Alaskans, indigenous and non-indigenous alike. But no, McCoy wasn’t satisfied. She needed to double down. So, like Sarah Short before her, she turned to the courts.

The Courts: The Last Resort of the Left

When she couldn’t get her way in the public sphere, McCoy did what many liberals do when faced with a reality they can’t accept—she ran to the courts, filing stalking orders in an attempt to intimidate me. It’s a familiar tactic. When they can’t win the argument, they seek to shut you down with threats and legal maneuvering. The truth is, when liberals lose the debate, they often resort to lies and lawfare. It’s easier than confronting the truth, after all.

 

McCoy has proven herself to be part of a growing trend of individuals who will go to any length to silence opposition. Instead of acknowledging that the opening of the Eklutna casino might not be in the best interests of the community, McCoy chose to vilify and legally harass anyone who disagrees with her. This is not just a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of someone who knows they’re wrong but refuses to back down.

The Hypocrisy of the “Blind Leading the Blind”

McCoy’s role with the Alaska Center for the Blind adds another layer of hypocrisy to this situation. She’s supposed to help guide others, yet she’s lost in her own blindness to the truth. By supporting an enterprise that will create more addicts, McCoy is simply a part of the cycle of harm. It’s as if she’s leading people off a cliff while claiming to be their savior. The “blind leading the blind” is not just a metaphor here—it’s a description of McCoy’s ethical failings.

McCoy’s position is not just misguided; it’s morally bankrupt. She claims to help people recover from addiction, but she actively supports a project that will ensure the continuation of the problem. She has no real concern for the community or for those suffering from addiction. What she’s concerned about is job security and the financial incentives that come with being in the addiction treatment business. If gambling creates more addicts, that means more clients for McCoy. It’s that simple.

The Lawsuit and the Community’s Fight

As McCoy continues to push for the opening of the Eklutna casino, others in the community are taking action. A lawsuit has been filed in federal court over the potential casino, citing concerns about noise, water pollution, and the overall negative impact on the quality of life in the Birchwood neighborhood. Homeowners fear that the casino will drive down property values and introduce crime, traffic congestion, and alcohol-impaired drivers into their once peaceful community.

These residents aren’t just fighting for their own well-being—they’re fighting for the soul of their community. The lawsuit highlights the growing resistance to the idea of putting profit over people’s lives. People like McCoy want to use the casino as a tool for economic development, but they’re blind to the social consequences. The truth is, this casino will do more harm than good. It’s another example of liberals putting short-term gain ahead of long-term community health.

The proposed casino, with its 700 gambling machines, bars, and restaurants, is set to be a catalyst for more addiction, more crime, and more misery. McCoy’s support for it is a betrayal of everything she claims to stand for as a healthcare provider. She’s willing to destroy the lives of countless individuals, all in the name of economic development. It’s clear that McCoy is more interested in treating the symptoms of addiction than in preventing it in the first place.

As the lawsuit progresses, we can only hope that the courts will recognize the damage that this casino will do to the community. This isn’t just about legalities; it’s about standing up for what’s right. McCoy may think she’s helping by supporting the casino, but in reality, she’s perpetuating the very thing she’s supposed to be fighting against. It’s time for the community to push back against this hypocrisy and fight for a future where addiction doesn’t continue to spiral out of control.

Enough is enough.
