Quartzsite Police Chief Jeff Gilbert TERMINATED

At this morning's regular meeting of the Quartzsite Town Council, sitting members convened in executive session to discuss the contract of controversial Police Chief Jeff Gilbert. They reconvened and voted to terminate his contract without cause, and pay the provisions of his severance. A reported buy out of $116,000. Vice Mayor Jewitt abstained from the vote, because his step son Tim Ryder is the paid assistant to Chief Gilbert. Councilwoman Carol Kelley abstained, which counts as a "yes" vote. Remaining Council voted unanimously.

No mention was made of who will lead the Department as Interim Chief, or to begin advertising for a replacement, leaving many wondering whether council members thought the decision through, or if those things had been discussed in a Councilman Orgeron orchestrated secret meeting. It is anticipated that the Arizona Department of Public Safety may send someone, and Sheriff John Drum appears willing to negotiate an intergovernmental agreement to take over services permanently.

In other news, School Board Member Monica Timberlake was appointed to fill the council seat vacated by the resignation of Patricia Workman.

BLM closes due to federal shut down

BREAKING NEWS - Quartzsite Mayor Ed Foster reported that the BLM Long - term visitor area has been closed because of the federal government shut down. It has been confirmed that camp host volunteers have been asked to turn over their keys, rangers have been issued pink slips and no new permits will be issued at this time. Incoming campers are being directed to 14 day areas. See pg 7 of the current issue for that list. Unofficially, campers who have purchased a winter permit may stay put as there are no rangers left to remove the public from public lands. A letter posted on the door of camp host offices does state that "visitors should vacate...", however it does not say they must.

Foster had asked Town Manager Bruno to contact BLM last week, but he is unaware of any negotiations between the Town and the BLM at this time. La Posa North and La Posa West are within Town limits. Quartzsite Police are not authorized to respond to calls for service on BLM unless requested by BLM to assist, and the notice clearly states that, "emergency services will not be available", so camp at your own risk. The Contingency Plan Fact Sheet states that Law Enforcement and Emergency Response will "remain operational." but it does not specifically refer to any particular area as it relates to the BLM in a broad sense, and on a national level. The Facebook page for BLM Arizona directs you to the Department of the Interior web site, and the Yuma Field Office has a phone message that states they are closed.

This post will be updated as events unfold.

Volume 3 Edition 13

Much like the Royal baby, this issue was expected a few days ago but some things aren't ready until they're ready. The issue was revised at the last minute to accommodate late breaking stories that you won't read anywhere else. We know you don't want to wait until next month. Do you?

Well, here you go!

Mayor Ed Foster finally seated!

Over five months after the people of Quartzsite elected Edward Foster back into office, the Quartzsite Town Council caved in to a Writ of Mandamus issued by La Paz County Superior Court Judge Michael Burke and seated the Foster as Mayor. His oath of office was administered by Municipal Court Judge Lawrence C. King. Foster chaired the remainder of the meeting, which included voting Councilman Michael Jewitt in as Vice Mayor.
The appeals court is currently considering whether to remove Jewitt from office, in an election challenge brought by John Prutch. The case has been given expedited consideration and a ruling is expected any day now.

Council hires "interim" town manager, She lays off assistant town manager!

At today's 2 pm meeting of the Quartzsite Common Council, a continuation of yesterday mornings adjourned regular meeting, all members of the council except Patricia Workman followed Mark Orgeron's lead and voted to approve signing a six month contract with Laura Bruno, the former Chief Financial Officer for the Sacramento City Unified School District.

Bruno's resume supplied to the council left off in 2002, before her greatest achievement - the illegal pension scheme known as “CASA”. She is also involved with the Southwest Chapter of the American Coach Association rally at Rice Ranch in January. Records indicate they own a parcel in Quartzsite, on Emelia.

Temporary Town Manager Terry Frausto will revert to Town Clerk, and most items on the council agenda were adjorned to the next meeting, so the the new administrator could familiarize herself with them. According to Councilman Orgeron, Bruno's mission will be to audit the books and redo the town's ordinances.

Her first official act was to place Al Johnson, the towns unpopular Assistant Town Manager/Building Official on Paid administrative leave, but the actual reasons are unknown at this time. It is believed that his firing Gilbert without authorization or notifying the council or "town manager" may be the reason. Much the same as the ongoing situation with Town Manager Alex Taft, the woman Bruno is replacing for now.  Citizen's are eagerly awaiting an official explanation for Taft's paid administrative leave, and the council can't discuss that, as it was handled in executive session.

Interestingly, Bruno reports that Police Chief Gilbert is not fired after all, despite the press release from Johnson. Hopefully, an official press release explaining all of this from the town will be forthcoming.

UPDATE: A press conference was held and can be viewed at: http://youtu.be/cMrRaWkUfoM

Quartzsite Police Chief Jeff Gilbert fired!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

http://www.ci.quartzsite.az.us/Support%20Docs/Press%20Release%20Chief.html

Today, the Town of Quartzsite fired controversial Police Chief Jeff Gilbert for “gross negligence and willful misconduct”. See official press release above. 

Gilbert had been placed on paid administrative leave while under investigation by the Arizona Department of Public Safety for allegedly facillitating "the false presentation of a time sheet containing false information." Rather than follow the restrictions set forth for his leave, he chose to use his vacation days. According to the press release, he is currently in somewhere in Alabama.

The press release was posted to the town's website at  8:50 am. A three page letter included in the press release was sent by certified mail to Gilbert in Alabama, however it was reported elsewhere that, "According to Gilbert, Johnson talked to him on his cell phone at exactly 9:00 am today (Arizona time). There had been a previous call, but cell service was not available." 
  
The source also stated that the Town Council did not know Johnson had fired Gilbert. There was apparently an “incident” outside Town Hall where Town Attorney Martin Brannan was confronted by angry council members and citizens.

Scholar's Academy sex scandal goes global

What happens in Quartzsite no longer stays in Quartzsite. After 16 year old Scholars Academy student Myranda Garber filmed her married principal making out with his married secretary/administrator and posted it to Youtube, news crews arrived in Quartzsite yesterday to interview parents and students. Within hours, the story was posted as far away as the U.K and Pakistan. 

 A meeting of the Scholars Academy Advisory Board was quickly convened wherein Principal Steve McClenning resigned and Administrator Billie "BJ" Madewell was fired, after an adjournment to executive session. However, that will not be effective until June 30th due to the need for continuity of service to the students for the remainder of the semester. Charter schools are private corporations and the Scholars Academy has such a small staff that it apparently cannot provide service without McClenning and Madewell.


At the urging of former Advisory Board Member Kevin Cushman, the Quartzsite Town Council tabled renewing the school's lease pending an unrelated appeal hearing before the Arizona Board for Charter Schools next month. They had denied a requested early renewal of the school's charter in January of this year.

Quorum of council approves election results, legal challenge expected

After reviewing additional documents related to interpretation of Arizona election statutes, Quartzsite Councilmembers Joe Winslow, Patricia Anderson, Carol Kelley and Barbara Cowell voted to approve the resolution declaring a "special - winner take all" election instead of a primary, and declaring appointed incumbent Mike Jewitt the winner this afternoon. Jewitt was not sworn in however and illegally seated Mayor Jose Lizarraga was not in attendance, having previously recused himself due to conflict of interest. Candidate John Prutch is on the Fire Department Board where Lizarraga is  employed.


Ellen Van Ripper, attorney for candidate John Prutch is expected to file a challenge in La Paz County Superior Court by April 4th. This will be a precedent setting court case, as the amendment to state law regulating the filling of council vacancies enacted last year has not yet been challenged. The council is betting taxpayer money on Town Attorney Martin Brannan's interpretation of the statute, despite Brannan's legal opinion being in direct opposition to the interpretation provided to Quartzsite and other municipalities by the Arizona League of Cities and Towns last October.

Quartzsite Chevron part 2

March 21st, 2012
Quartzsite, AZ--The Chevron station in question gets a passing grade by the Arizona Department of Weights and Measure (ADWM), indicating a maximum of 10% ethanol was tested by a third party laboratory in Phoenix. This was confirmed in a taped phone conversation today with Dan Egge, an investigator with ADWM.
But not so fast...says Dave Bertrand, after $1,500 dollars of chasing a mechanical problem for approximately three months as income allowed!
Engine acceleration problems, known as "stumbling," kept the local repair shop mechanics puzzled as computer tests did not pinpoint the reasons. From (2) fuel filter changes to oxygen sensors replaced and every other temperature sensor tested, including fuel pressure testing, the result was the same...very poor acceleration.
Just short of trashing the Tahoe for a replacement, my last option was a full diagnostic check with Bradley Chevrolet in Parker Arizona.
Jim Burdette, the Service Manager assured me they would find the problem. Leaving the vehicle overnight, I was hoping the $100 test would not reveal an engine overhaul was due or something similar.
The call from Jim sounded bad, but only because he said the complete test was negative, nothing out of the ordinary, but added..."We only had one last option and that was to test your fuel."
He asked where I was getting my fuel and you guessed it! The Chevron station in Quartzsite.
During the previous months of having acceleration problems, my paranoia of using cheap gas caused me to fill-up at the Chevron station, thinking that I could clean-out any dirty fuel that might be causing the problem. Well...to my astonishment, the knock over my head was worse than the $100 diagnostic test at Bradley.
Jim Burdette informed me that my fuel tested greater than 20% ethanol and that Bradley Chevrolet just had at least three other vehicles in the shop with similar problems and those customers said  they used Chevron in Quartzsite. One other customer with the same problem used Chevron and other stations.
The solution and advice was to drop the fuel tank and replace the fuel with non-ethanol rated fuel for a while. Parker Oil on 95 north in Parker is the only station with non-ethanol fuel.
About $400 later, tank dropped and drained, I replaced the fuel with non-ethanol and the Tahoe did not miss a beat. My only mistake was not spending the $100 at Bradley for a full diagnostic check.
By now I was wondering if Chevron in Quartzsite was in-fact selling contaminated fuel. Were all the customers (I heard about) wondering as well? Then my Quartzsite mechanic began having engine problems and only used that Chevron...which prompted me to get a sample of fuel and take it to Bradley Chevrolet for testing.
On March 9th, I collected .633 gallon(s) from pump 5 and sealed the screw cap with tape and attached the receipt to the side of the container. The gas was tested by Bradley Chevrolet in three different beakers, using an approved testing method, and the lowest ethanol level was 17% and the highest 20%. The maximum allowable by any state is 10%, except for E85 fuel which is not sold at the Quartzsite Chevron.
The phone call from Jim Burdette set the stage for a series of events...
I contacted Dan Egge at ADWM and nearly had to threaten media action to get the state agency to return my calls. Finally, an inspector on a fuel testing assignment in Parker was re-directed to Quartzsite immediately.
I was waiting at the Chevron station as he pulled-in with his testing trailer tanks. He indicated to me that his findings would only be preliminary, but also stated the same directive that Dan Egge stated to me...if the sample taken on March 20th was over the ethanol limit, he would have the inspector drive the sample to Phoenix. Note: The fuel inspector (Bill) was originally heading to Yuma.
After taking a fuel sample from pump no. 1, he conducted an onsite assay test which a receipt type tape, printed the results.
I asked if the ethanol level is above 10% and he kind of smiled, but could not tell me the level. I asked if he was taking it to Phoenix and he said, "I'll know in a minute!"
I asked him, "I guess you can't tell me the ethanol level because it's now part of an investigation?" He replied..."Yes, you can assume that."
He was ordered to Phoenix and I was provided the lab tech's name and phone number before he departed.
Again, after several phone calls to ADWM for the results, Dan Egge called today, stating that a contract lab reported no more than 10% ethanol in that sample taken yesterday.
The third party laboratory that took the sample from ADWM was INSPECTORATE a subsidiary of Bureau Veritas Group Company, a world conglomerate with very close ties to BP, Texaco and Chevron.
They have over 600 laboratories around the world and offer quality control services to most every petroleum company, testing and preparing official reports for government(s).
Their contracts equate to the FDA relying on the pharma companies to do their own testing of the product they intend to get approval for!
Or...let's put it this way! Putting the fox in-charge of the hen house.
Will we ever know if the fuel sample is really tainted? Or do we accept what Dan Egge stated to me today, the fuel turn-over at many stations can be as much as three tankers arriving in a single day...therefore, any tainted fuel may not be detected.
Should we assume that Bill the fuel inspector needs glasses and or his testing equipment is faulty?
In today's world of corruption and corporate monopolies, the citizen is the last hope of justice, and because we were vigilant, and I was financially challenged in this event, the big corporation wins and ADWM gets-a-pat on the back by those (behind the scenes) right up to the main offices of Chevron and Shay Oil (station owner).
They dodged a bullet this time, but it's the last time I ever buy fuel at this Chevron in Quartzsite Arizona.

No mayor for Quartzsite?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

This morning, something happened in the La Paz County Superior Court that few expected. Mayor Elect Jose' Lizarraga was determined to be "unqualified" if he failed to obtain and file a bond prior to taking office, as required by Quartzsite Town Code.This was only one of several allegations made against him by third place mayoral candidate Jennifer Jones, who contested Lizarraga's eligibility for office.

Lizarraga had not filed the required response to the contest of the August 30th mayoral election, and did not show up to court today. Contestant Jones motioned for a default judgment, but Judge Michael Burke stated the law allowed for the hearing to proceed "ex parte".

No one was present to legally represent the interests of the town, after Judge Burke had granted them intervention for relief, in the event that Lizarraga was found ineligible under the law. However, Jones argued that:

     "The arguments listed in the town’s motion to intervene were based on false premise. First, election contests were not known at common law and therefore they are purely statutory and are special proceedings, not actions at law or suits in equity.  Harless v. Lockwood, 85 Ariz. 97, 32 P.2d 887 (1958);  Brown v. Superior Court in and for Santa Cruz County, 81 Ariz. 236, 303 P.2d 990 (1956).

     This means the procedure is strictly in accordance with ARS §16-671 through 16-678.  Nowhere in these statutes is there a right of intervention and the parties are limited to contestor and contestee under ARS §16-673, 16-674.B, and 16-675.  The Town of Quartzsite is not a party under these statutes." 

Jones also asserted that Town Attorney Martin Brannan had erred in his claim that the town council has an “absolute right” bestowed upon it to appoint a mayor, to fill a vacant position, and that the mayor's seat must be filled by election, under state law and town code. Judge Burke grudgingly concurred. 

The town of Quartzsite will apparently not have a mayor, until the next election, in the spring of 2012. Because Arizona law states: "In case of the absence of the mayor the council may appoint one of their number to act in his stead.", Vice mayor Barbara Cowell is expected to chair the meetings, approve the minutes, and perform other mayor duties, but cannot assume the title or stipend of the position. 

A written ruling in the case is expected within five days.

Quartzsite videographer arested in town hall

Another critic of Quartzsite officials has been jailed in what appears to be retaliation. Local Realtor Doug Gilford has gained notoriety as the blogger and videographer who filmed the unlawful removal of Desert Freedom Press Publisher Jennifer Jones, from a June 28th town council meeting. The video has been viewed over two hundred thousand times on Gilford's YouTube channel.

Yesterday afternoon, around 3:30 Gilford was at the counter in Town Hall, filing an open records request for town hall feed surveillance tape when Assistant Town Manager Al Johnson confronted Gilford.  Apparently feeling threatened, Gilford set his camera on the counter but didn't hit record, when suddenly Johnson snatched it from across the counter. When Gilford called for police assistance, he ended up being arrested instead of Johnson.

Gilford was booked into the La Paz County jail on charges of harassment, trespassing, and false reporting to law enforcement. He was released on $500 bond. Mayor Ed Foster and Doug's wife Teri picked him up at time around 8pm last night.

Since filming the now infamous Jennifer Jones video, Doug Gilford has been assaulted with a barrage of misdemeanor charges. He was charged with three counts of harassment and noticed to turn himself into the La Paz County Jail for asking Councilman Winslow a question about the town council's failure to put embattled Police Chief Jeff Gilbert on administrative leave, following criminal allegations by 80% of his department.
See: http://www.youtube.com/user/1qtown#p/u/34/KAEE5Rl0Pz0

When Gilford showed up at his arraignment this week, he was informed that he was being charged with ten additional misdemeanors for harassment, disorderly conduct and false reporting to law enforcement, for complaints he had filed against town officials. He will be arraigned on all thirteen charges on September 13th, at 10am,  in the Quartzsite Magistrate Court, under Judge Karen Slaughter.

Gilford has been for driving around town with a large sign directed at the Quartzsite Town Council that reads: "GO QUIT RESIGN!"

He has no prior criminal history, and is best known for his volunteer work with the homeless with his wife Teri.

Southern Poverty Law Center, Department of Homeland Security, and Quartzsite?

The Southern Poverty Law Center, sworn enemy of the Tea Party and the liberty movement has been rumored to be planning an infiltration and disruption of the Quartzsite Liberty Fest peace rally in support of town police officers who "blew the whistle" on Chief Jeff Gilbert  in May.

While this might ordinarily be a laughable bit of "psychological warfare" aimed at discouraging participation in an afternoon of celebration and music, the following recent blog post  from http://freedomfighterradio.net/ which ties SPLC to Homeland Security, and recent World Net Daily article which shows new DHS videos depicting what former Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano believes "domestic terrorists" look like, it does make a compelling, albeit circumstantial case for why Morris Dees and the SPLC might not want to see the citizens of Quartzsite  succeed.

Another rumor circulating around town is the Quartzsite Police Chief Jeff Gilbert is contacting outside law enforcement agencies to set up roadblocks and intends to bring in the local SWAT team to assist. Sources confirm that several outside departments declined Gilbert's invitation, and did not want to be affiliated with anything he might be planning. One local resident stated "I think Gilbert may be trying to orchestrate a disturbance to justify the emergency they declared over the bogus death threats. It's no wonder other cops don't take him seriously."


(Re-posted unedited with permission - opinions expressed are those of the original author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Desert Freedom Press)

Source: Freedom Fighter Radio.com

According to Wikipedia, in 1971 Morris Dees and Joseph Levin began a so-called non-profit civil rights organization known as Southern Poverty Law (LIE) Center. This organization claims to have a variety of tasks that has grown through-out the years. Near their inception they had a strategy of filing civil suits for damages on behalf of the victims of hate group harassment, threats, and violence with the goal of financially depleting the responsible groups and individuals.

Originally, the group seemingly had a righteous cause, targeting groups like the KKK. Morris Dees reportedly won a wrongful death suit at one point for a black mother who lost her son to racist violence. I would like to state that I personally feel racism is wrong, for the record! However, this case could shine a negative light on Dees as he allegedly won a massive judgment near $9,000,000.00! The grieving mother was reportedly paid out $51,875.00! Dees near that time is alleged to have started a salary for Dees at a mere $275,000.00 annually. This is where I begin to question, just how righteous the cause of the SPLC actually is?

Morris Dees is portrayed as an expert on terrorism, militias, and the patriot movement! But his behavior, and credibly are called into question in court documents recorded in records from his divorce proceedings! They claim Dees attempted to molest his step daughter. Also in these documents it is alleged that there was inappropriate conduct of a sexual nature which occurred with his future daughter-in-law, as well as many other extramarital engagements!

These documents point out that Dees has an ego the size of Texas as well! We don’t see a lot of current public appearances out of Dees these days as he seems to send his minion, Mark Potok instead. Apparently in 1986 Dees entire legal staff quit in Protest to Dees refusal to address issues such as homelessness, voter registration, and affirmative action! These issues appear to be worth far less money than fighting the KKK to rich benefactors! A former lawyer at SPLC was quoted as saying that SPLC programs were apparently calculated to cash in on “black pain and white guilt.” Anyhow, these are just a few of the juicy historical elements to Dees, and SPLC now I digress to get back on topic.

SPLC grew over the years, and started to broaden their staff, and scope of issues it focused on. The focus continued to include discrimination, civil rights violations, racial segregation, mistreatment of aliens, and separation of church and state issues. It also grew to monitor alleged hate groups, militias, and extremist organizations! The SPLC sprang onto the scene and was used by lame stream media to demonize the resurgent militia movement. This movement resurfaced in recent years due to a lot of American citizens seeing a government stepping out of the framework set up by the founding documents, also known as the law. However, the SPLC doesn’t ever seem to state that! These are the sorts of issues that have lead to the rebirth of the militia, and things like the TEA party. All of which are regularly referred to now as terrorist organizations, which is far from true!

Potok over the last few years along with the backing of the SPLC has been on a media campaign to demonize those seemingly concerned citizen’s who wish to align themselves with the constitution, and the bill of rights. Potok in my opinion and by his own actions could be described as a left wing fanatic himself. The SPLC has been alleged to label themselves as one of the most highly regarded non governmental organizations which monitors hate groups. That has also changed but we will get into that later.

Potok has written an article which ended up published in a communist magazine, although Potok claims no knowledge of how it ended up there! Potok acts as a key spokesman for SPLC in alleged cases of extremism. Potok has been recorded to have had dealings with the United Nation’s as well. Potok has been on the staff of SPLC since 1997, but furthermore has also had dealings with socialists. He has affiliations with Amy Goodman of Democracy Now, which is clearly socialist in origin!

He is also documented as saying in regards to Rep. Peter Kings hearings on Muslims “Well, I think they’re despicable. I think that the truth is, is that Peter King does not come to this with clean hands, quite the opposite. You know, the reality is that this is a guy who has said that 85 to 80 — or 80 to 85 percent of the leaders of mosques are radicals, are jihadists, tied to extremism and so on. And I think that that is objectively entirely false.” However, we who study Islam from the outside know those who adhere to the pedophile prophets teachings are the true extremists!

The most recent estimates we can find are provided by charity navigator, which alleges net assets near $152,000,000.00 in 2010! Dees, Potok, and the rest of the crew certainly seem to be in it for some very good intentions, money. This campaign they have been on as an alleged NGO is questionable at best. I know this has nothing to do with Charles Dyer! However, it does which we will be able to tie in if you just bear with us!

Freedom Fighter Radio has uncovered the names and faces of some other SPLC personnel that will prove interesting as well as affiliated organizations that we believe will also grab your attention. These are some of those affiliate organizations/programs: hate watch, Klan watch, teaching tolerance, intelligence report…. The list goes on! Some of the alleged employee names are as follows: Al Dixon, Harold Thompson, Brian Youngblood, Penny Weaver, Henderson Cornelia, Melanie Mulchahy, and Jennifer Holloday……to name a few!

The warped views of the SPLC are listed as a resource for none of than the Federal Bureau of Investigations for many years now! The SPLC has some warped causes it apparently stands for including illegal immigration, (LBGT) lesbian gay bisexual transgender, socialists and the jihad loving Muslim’s! They apparently have gone against a lot of groups that based there stance on the constitution in recent years. This becomes important for one simple fact, that fact being SPLC was folded into the government! The SPLC was adopted by Department of Homeland Security in October 2010! Remember this fact as it will be pertinent as we get deeper into the rat hole!

Now back to the employees we have discovered to be alleged employees of SPLC! One such employee, we have come to discover is a man employed by according to other articles, and sites we have discovered for the SPLC! His name is Brian Youngblood! Well let us look at what we know about Brian Youngblood, as he might be a little less of a left wing extremist although I doubt it! First, I have gained accessed to a lot of his tweets and apparently he likes to drink. One tweet states “I love the smell of hops in the morning”, which could imply as he does he brew’s beer, but also could lead us to believe he likes to drink! It seems he likes to drink at all hours of the day to me! He certainly seems to imply that in his tweets as well! Brian also has affiliations with intellitours; a GPS guided Tour Company as an expert in computers and telecommunications equipment. This I find interesting due to being personally told by victims of the website Hate Trackers that there was information posted that could have only been gathered by a computer hack, information including pictures only found on one persons personal computer!

Their website also lists him as an IT Professional for SPLC! So by now, you are probably wondering why this clown is important to this story. Well, we found an article that was posted online by CNN tech dated August 12, 1999 that says a lot! The article is titled “Web Trackers Hunt Racist Groups Online”! In the beginning of this article they state “The leader of the hate trackers is the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Alabama”! To tie this to Brian Youngblood I will also quote the aforementioned article as stating “There, Brian Youngblood heads up a team of 12 that monitors the material at more than 500 Web sites, mostly by hand, as well as a number of chat rooms and news groups.” So the fanatic leftist loons of SPLC are historically tied directly to Hate Trackers! They are also tied directly to our corrupt government as they have been folded into the DHS!

With statements being made by the Hate Trackers Site such as: “We have held on to this information at the request of the FBI, but it has leaked to other entities, so we are going with our story first.” It now becomes more than apparent Hate Trackers is highly likely to be, if not certainly is a government operation, as Jim and I have long suspected! But wait it gets more interesting yet, so don’t go anywhere boys and girls!

So, the FBI, and ATF are two of the agencies who have been involved in Dyer’s persecution! They are now under the blanket of fusion (inter-agency cooperation) that has been laid out by the patriot act! These agencies all get there instructions from the DHS expressly HSAC otherwise known as the Homeland Security Advisory Council! This Council is run by two devout Muslims by the names Arif Alikhan, and Kahreem Al Shora! We brought this to light on previous shows of ours with help of our friend, and author Chris Alexander (retired Marine)!

Oh but wait it gets better yet with other names involved with HSAC like:

Arif Alikhan

Nimco Ahmed,

Omar Alomari,

Asli Bali,

Mohamed Elibiary

(President and CEO, The Freedom and Justice Foundation)

Ronald Haddad (Chief of Police, Dearborn Police Department)

Imam Mohamed Magid (Executive Director, All Dulles Area Muslim Society)

Dalia Mogahed (Gallup Center for Muslim Studies)

Appointed to President Obama’s faith advisory council, was a partner

in an Islamic project whose stated goal was to define,

interpret and implement the concept of the Islamic State in modern times in America

Asim Rehman (Muslim Bar Association of New York)

Nadia Rouman (American Muslim Civic Leadership Institute)!

Those are the apparently devout Muslims working as appointees of the Obama Administration for the HSAC! (Homeland Security Advisory Council) Another, interesting name that is on the HSAC list is Bob Wasserman! My suspicion is that Wasserman is related to Debbie Wasserman-Shultz DNC Chair, who also seems to be heading up the Obama 2012 campaign!

Some of these people, namely the devout Muslims named are likely related by blood to the very people, or at least by there adherence to the blood thirsty beast known as Islam that our country  and many other brave souls have meet on the battlefields in far off lands!

To you Patriots out there, pick your friends wisely as the infiltration is deep and beware the enemy is inside the gates! The perimeter has folded and the siege is underway! Pick your battles wisely, and give no quarter to thy enemy for god in heaven will surely not look kindly on us for that!

“Now the Lord is the spirit; and where the spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.” Second Corinthinian’s 3:17 I for certain would gladly stand with all the other noble souls who can clearly state the mission “Liberty or Death” rather than sell my soul to those who mean to enslave or murder us all! To look at this government one must consider this as well,

2 Peter 2:19 while they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

Galatians 4:31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

May the Lord bless you all, do not forsake the Lord almighty and he will be with you always. The flesh of this earth matters not as we are here for only his divine plan! Liberty is his plan, and when I stand to be judged for my works as all will be I will proudly state I stood for truth and justice under the law of the land and of the Lord!

May you all repent well in Christ, Semper Fidelis,

OMLET arm of the AG's Office investigation update

I, Jennifer Jones,  had an important phone conversation earlier today. I was informed by Mr. Christopher Munns, of the Attorney General's Office, Open Meetings Law  Enforcement Team (OMLET) that his office was expediting our complaints. Please thank him for that.


However, after I discussed the evidence I wanted to email him, he informed me that they did not have authority to rule on the investigation. Basically, the OMLET department is a "toothless tiger" as Mayor Foster likes to say. In other words, their standard operating procedure is to contact the town and attempt to bring the council into compliance with open meetings law. If the town fails to comply, then a court action may proceed. Eventually, the courts will intercede. In the mean time, AG Tom Horne could look into issuing a legal opinion on action taken by the council, but has not indicated any interest in doing so.


So you see, as of this date, both Governor Brewer and Attorney General Horne have avoided any responsibility for Quartzsite's open ended "state of emergency" and subsequent lawlessness of it's officials.

I suggest that we may contact:

ANARCHY IN QUARTZSITE?

About 5 pm PST, The Desert Freedom Press learned that under the current "emergency", Police Chief Jeff Gilbert has suspended ALL officers who filed criminal and ethical complaints against him. This leaves only the four officers who chose to stand with the Chief, despite the controversy and ongoing investigation by DPS. La Paz County Sheriff Don Lowery told the Parker Pioneer Newspaper last week, that he had provided back up units to patrol the perimeter of Town Hall during the June 12th council meeting. Quartzsite Police Chief Jeff Gilbert and Sheriff Lowery served together as officers on the Colorado Indian Tribes Reservation.

Council Declares STATE OF EMERGENCY?

About noon today, the town council, at the request of the police chief, declared an official state of emergency. Sgt Xavier Frausto was dressed in tactical gear when he and the police chief demanded the mayor get in their car. Mayor Foster declined, and drove himself to town hall. Frausto unlocked the door for the mayor. Foster and others saw town officials convened for official business, with the town clerk and town attorney also present. "This is an illegal meeting!" said Mayor Foster. Sgt Frausto locked the door on him.  When asked later for a comment about what transpired, Concilman Bob Kelley said he couldn't talk about it, Barbara Cowell said she didn't understand who called the meeting, or what thay had done, and Jerry Lukkasson denied it. According to another news report "Taft told the Pioneer the meeting came about after discussions between Town Attorney Martin Brannan, Gilbert and herself regarding threatening e-mails sent to council members and town officials. She said they received advice from attorneys for the League of Arizona Towns and Cities that they should declare an emergency and call a special council meeting."

According to "Rain", aka Anna English, "Council members tell me town is not under martial law. Linda, the clerk at Police Dept is telling callers today hat the town is!!! So there you have it! "

What a tangled web we weave...

BREAKING NEWS! Quartzsite Police Chief Jeff Gilbert SCANDAL!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 5/31/11 Quartzsite, Arizona Police Chief Jeff Gilbert is struggling desperately to maintain his position after three quarters of his own officers filed formal complaints against him with Arizona Conference of Police and Sheriffs (AZCOPS) and Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board (AZPOST). The timing of these complaints appears to be in response to evidence and testimony expected to be revealed in currently pending lawsuits against the town and the ongoing criminal prosecution of citizens who have a documented history of complaining about the police chief's patterns and practices. Now that Governor Brewer has signed  a bill which amends A.R.S. 14 - 1822  and allows AZPOST to revoke an officers certification, many citizens and law enforcement officers are hoping that's the least of what happens to Jeff Gilbert. A former officer with the Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT), Gilbert is also a current legislative member of the Arizona Association of Chiefs of Police (AACOP) Allegations have been made against Quartzsite's Police Chief for both criminal conduct and ethical violations of the town's personnel manual. They range from assault, illegal searches and arrests, surveillance and investigation of political opponents, "official police business" being conducted without reports filed, false reporting, and grant fraud, to abuse of National Crime Information Center (NCIC) background checks for personal use and/or without probable cause. La Paz County Republican Precinct Chairman Michael Roth maintains he was falsely arrested for "disorderly conduct" and placed on the FBI "terrorist watch list" for his outspoken criticism of Police Chief Jeff Gilbert. After being notified that officers of the Quartzsite Police Department intend to publicly announce a vote of "no confidence", read their formal complaints and ask the Town Council to terminate Chief Gilbert's recently renewed contract for "cause" at the next regular meeting of the Common Council on June 14th, Mayor Ed Foster scheduled a special meeting for Wednesday, June 1st at 6 pm, to discuss the situation. The police chief's current contract, which included additional pay raises, was prematurely renewed on February 8th, 2011 by unanimous council approval, after Mayor Foster recused himself from the meeting. Foster wanted no part of what he believed was an orchestrated plot by Town Manager Alexandra Taft to secure ongoing employment for Gilbert, before the majority of the Quartzsite Town Council faced a March recall election. All five political challengers wanted Chief Gilbert terminated, but narrowly missed in their attempt to unseat recalled incumbents. Rather than have the officer's complaints investigated at no charge by the Major Crimes Division of the state police, Town Manager Alex Taft has instead chosen to hire a private firm, in what appears to be a pattern of damage control and cover up. Last spring, it was rumored that a friend of Chief Gilbert's at the Sheriff's office was specifically requested to investigate complaints made to AZPOST by Mayor Ed Foster, former Councilman Bill Moore, and businesswoman Jennifer Jones (Harris). This assignment was alleged to be the result of a deal struck between Taft, Gilbert, and La Paz County Sheriff Don Lowery. Lowery had also refused to investigate the assault complaint made by Jones against Police Chief Jeff Gilbert and Quartzsite Detective Felipe Rodriguez on April 13th of 2010, despite the video being posted to Youtube. A recent  town council candidate with no prior criminal history, Jennifer Jones has been arrested three times, and charged with a total of 10 misdemeanors since filing her AZPOST complaint. Her husband John was also arrested over the same incidents, and charged with three misdemeanors. Neither has been brought to trial. The police chief compared Mrs. Jones and Michael Roth to Tucson gunman Jarrod Laughner at the January 11th Quartzsite Council Meeting. After a year and a half of contriving criminal complaints that didn't hold water, the Police Chief finally arrested the mayor May 10th, on charges of "disorderly conduct". Apparently, the result of Foster calling Gilbert an "idiot" five days earlier in the parking lot of Town Hall. The rift between Chief Gilbert's supporters and numerous critics runs deep.  La Paz County Prosecutor Sam Vederman has repeatedly refused to insert his office into the political fray. Pending the results of the current AZCOPS/AZPOST investigation, many in the community are now hoping that the FBI and Justice Department will take a serious look into Quartzsite corruption.
