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 Officers statements about Quartzsite "emergency" on July 10th, 2011

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

The following are the sworn statements of Quartzsite Police Officers James Kemp and Michelle Norris, made to the Office of the Attorney General, Open Meeting Law Enforcement Team (OMLET), regarding the declaration of an "emergency" in Quartzsite on Sunday, 7-10-11

Statement by Officer Kemp About “Emergency” Condition

07/10/11, J.C. Kemp Q35

Narrative:

On 07-10-11, I went to the Quartzsite Police Station to pick up some paperwork from my box. Upon entering the station, I saw Ofc. Norris, Ofc. Rodriguez, and Chief Gilbert. As I stopped to check the warrants board, I heard Ofc. Norris call me and ask me to come into the patrol room where they were

I entered and asked them what was going on. The Chief explained that earlier that morning, the Town Council had called a special meeting to announce a state of emergency in Quartzsite, due to threatening emails sent to them and the Chief. The Chief then proceeded to read me an email that said something to the effect that the person who wrote the email would not mind if the Chief was killed.

Ofc. Norris then cut in and asked him why she and Ofc. Rodriguez, who were on duty that day, had not been informed of a state of emergency. The Chief stated that he had been unaware of what the council was going to do until just a short time ago at the meeting.

At his words, I grew angry, as I had been shown an email from Chief to the La Paz County Sheriff's Office asking for their assistance, as death threats had been issued over the internet, and Quartzsite was discussing calling a state of emergency.

I asked the Chief how serious a threat he thought it really was, if he had not told his own officers in advance, as all officers receive death threats, usually in person while making an arrest. Chief again said he had not told us, as he himself did not know the town was calling a state of emergency till just a few minutes ago. I again asked him if the threat was actually credible. At this point, he seemed to get visibly angry at me, and asked me, "How can you of all people not take this threat seriously?"

I told the Chief that since we now "knew", we needed to call and inform all the officers working for our department that the town was in a state of emergency. The Chief said no, that the officers would be informed as they arrived for their shifts of duty. I said I believed that if death threats were being made against Quartzsite Officers, and since the people making the threats were local and knew where all the Officers lived, we needed to inform all Law Enforcement Officers right away, to heighten their alertness at home as well as on the street, working. The Chief shook his head, and stated the Officers would be notified over the next few days as they arrived for duty.

At this time, I turned away from Chief and told Ofc. Norris and Ofc. Rodriguez that we needed to call all the officers and give them a heads up, and that I personally intended to do just that myself. Chief then left the station.

Ofc. Norris then told me that she and Ofc. Rodriguez had been called to town hall, where they were confronted by a crowd of people who were upset and angry, because the town was declaring a state of emergency, and the Chief was going to be in charge of everything. Ofc. Norris said she was so angry that Chief had let them walk into the situation blind, with no warning, that after the meeting, she followed him to the Eatery and confronted him in the parking lot. Ofc. Norris stated that the Chief told them to meet him at the station.

I called Sgt. Ponce and told him what had happened, and the reasons why Ofc. Norris was upset. I then mentioned to Sgt. Ponce the email we saw on Friday the 8th, 2011, and told him it was wrong of Chief not to warn us, since he obviously knew before the meeting occurred on the 10th. Sgt. Ponce also recalled the ewmail, and told me he would inform the other officers.

End. James C. Kemp

Statement by Officer Norris About “Emergency” Condition

On July 10th 2011, I was dispatched to 465 N Plymouth Road to the Quartzsite Town Hall in reference to suspicious activity. While en route dispatch said that they received a call from Ed Foster who advised that he was told he was to meet Chief Gilbert at Town Hall and it was suspicious. Upon arrival, I noticed a large amount of people in the parking lot of Town Hall. As I got out of my vehicle several people, including Ed Foster came up to myself and Officer Rodriguez. They were angry saying that an illegal meeting was going on and they were locked out and not allowed in town hall. Foster said that he was at home when Chief Gilbert and Xavier Fausto came and asked him to go with them to Town Hall for an emergency meeting. Foster said he refused to ride down with them but said drove to the Town Hall in his own vehicle. When he walked up to the doors of town hall he noticed all the council members and some of town hall staff were there having a meeting. Foster said it was an illegal meeting. He said Xavier Fausto opened the door and told Foster they were having an emergency meeting. Foster said he told them the meeting was not legal, was not open to the public and said he would not attend. He said Frausto refused to allow anyone to attend the meeting and he locked the door so no one could get inside the building. Foster said he wanted to file a complaint. After several attempts to contact Chief Gilbert and Sgt. Fausto, Officer Rodriguez contacted dispatch and requested assistance from a La Paz County Officer. An Officer from La Paz County Sheriff's Office arrived and talked to Officer Rodriguez and to Ed Foster. I was at the back of the building when the meeting ended and Chief Gilbert walked out. He told me not to allow anyone at the back of the building or in the rear parking lot. Chief Gilbert and Xavier Frausto then gave council members a ride home. I was confused as to what emergency was taking place because I had seen Chief Gilbert several times that morning. I was in the office earlier that day and Chief Gilbert walked in, went past me and into his office. He never said anything to me about an emergency. I had been passed multiple times by both Chief Gilbert and Xavier Frausto several times in different places while driving around town that morning and had attempted to call both of them several times but neither of them would answer. I felt if there was some type of emergency in town then Officer Rodriguez and I should be notified for safety reasons since we were the officers on duty at the time. I saw Chief Gilbert drive into the Main Street Eatery Restaurant and Laundry Mat.

I turned around and pulled into the parking lot. I asked Chief Gilbert if he could explain to me why there was a State of Emergency in Quartzsite. I told him I was upset that I and another officer had been on Duty for several hours today and not been notified of any emergency. If there was an emergency I felt for officer safety reasons, we should have been notified right away. Chief Gilbert said he had planned on telling us later but would go ahead and talk to us now. He said to meet him at our office. Officer Rodriguz and I met Chief Gilbert at the office. Officer Kemp had walked into the officer and joined our conversation. Chief Gilbert told us that Quartzsite Officials, Council Members, and Officers had received a lot of death threats via email in the past week and because of this a state of emergency had been called. I explained to Chief Gilbert that I was upset and I didn't feel it was right that he had enough death threats on Officers, Officials, and Council Members to cause a State of Emergency, yet he didn't notify his officers of this information. I explained to him that knowing the officers are the easiest targets because we can be easily identified, we should have been and could have easily been notified by him as soon as the death threats were received.

Quartzsite mayoral recall election challenge filed in Superior Court

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Thursday, September 8th, a legal challenge to the election of Jose Lizarraga was filed in the La Paz County Superior Court by Jennifer Jones, publisher of The DESERT FREEDOM PRESS. Jones was also a candidate on the ballot for the mayor recall election that unseated popular "people's mayor" Ed Foster, but had publicly asked voters to support Foster.

The summons was served on Mayor Elect Lizarraga's wife this morning, at their home, by a private process server. Lizarraga has until 5 pm Wednesday, September 14th, to file a response with the court. The civil case is between private parties Jones and Lizarraga, so town attorney(s) may not represent the newly elected mayor. Jones filed "in pro per", and will represent herself.

The Contest of Election surrounds Lizarraga's eligibility under Quartzsite Town Code 2-1-10. Ironically, Mayor Foster wanted this town ordinance repealed, and placed it on the Council Agenda last spring, but the council including Lizarraga supported the ordinance and voted in favor of taking no action. They refused to even engage in public discussion on the matter with Foster. 


From the complaint:

Statement Specific Facts Disqualifying Contestee from Office of Mayor
5.   Arizona Revised Statutes Authorizes this Statement of Contest.  Arizona Revised Statutes, Section 16-672.A.2 provides that an elector may contest the election of any person declared elected who was, at the time of the election, not eligible to hold the office.
 6.    Contestee Violated the State of Arizona’s Open Meeting Law.  On December 21, 2010 at a Town Meeting, Contestee and the majority of the Town Council violated the Open Meeting Law.  In an opinion by the Office of the La Paz County Attorney dated January 28, 2011 and attached hereto as Exhibit “B” County Attorney Samuel Vederman states on page 6: “it is our belief that the Open Meeting Law was violated.”  On page 3 of that letter, County Attorney Vederman clearly points out the Contestee participated and violated the Open Meeting Law at that time.  In Exhibit “C”, (an article in the Arizona Republic dated July 17, 2011, on page 4, 11 lines from the bottom)  it states: “In interviews, Lizarraga [the Contestee] and Lukkasson…said they do not care if some council meetings are deemed unlawful or if public-records laws are broken.”  Further, at “Meet the Candidates” night, on August 27, 2011,  Contestee publicly acknowledged that the December 21, 2010 Town meeting did violate Open Meeting Law. This demonstrates a clear and express violation of  Quartzsite Municipal Code 2-1-10 C wherein it states that a violation of open meeting laws is a disqualification to run for office. Contestee is currently under investigation for additional violations of the Open Meeting Law by the Arizona Attorney  General’s Open Meeting Law Enforcement Team.
7.  Contestee Thwarted  Mayor Ed Foster’s Investigation into wrong-doing by the Town Council and Contestee.  Former Quartzsite Mayor Ed Foster undertook a series of investigations into possible misappropriation, misuse and waste of Town funds.  Town Council and Contestee undertook actions to thwart Mayor Foster’s efforts at every turn, to wit:
(a)  Town Council Including Contestee Refused to allow Mayor Foster and Contestant to have access to public records.  The Town, under the direction of the Town Council (including Contestee) refused to provide records to the Contestant, which were determined to be within the scope of Open Records, as determined by  Arizona Ombudsman – Citizen’s Aide. The Town, under the direction of the Town Council (including Contestee) also refused Mayor Foster’s repeated request for records related to Town checks, which Mayor Foster suspected of being questionable.  Attached hereto as Exhibit “D” is a true and correct copy of the  ”Final Report of Investigation” by  Arizona Ombudsman-Citizens’s Aide which has findings that the “Town wrongfully denied [the Mayor’s] public records request.  Contestee was a member of the Town Council and voted wrongfully to deny said request.  Indeed, paragraph (b) below details the length that Contestee went to secret records from Mayor Foster.
(b)  Town Council Including Contestee Unlawfully changed its laws  to Thwart the Mayor’s investigation into Town Council and Contestee’s actions.  In a meeting of the Town Council held on Tuesday, June 8, 2010, Town Council and Contestee  passed a resolution prohibiting the Mayor from receiving any reports from the Town without an approval vote of the Town Council.  (See Attachment “E” resolution 060810-6).  This unlawfully restricts the powers of the Mayor which under Arizona Revised Statutes,  9-236 states that “The mayor of the common council shall be the chief executive officer of the town..”  Further, this effort by the Town Council and Contestee to stop the Mayor from obtaining records that must be available to a chief executive officer of a Town constitutes felonious secreting of documents under Arizona Revised Statutes,  38-421 which makes it a felony for an officer having custody of any record to…”secret the whole or part thereof…”   Contestee voted “Aye” on this illegal provision for the express and felonious purpose of keeping records from Mayor Ed Foster.
    (c)  Town Council Including Contestee Engaged in Various Acts in violation of the law which have as a primary purpose to thwart investigation into Contestee’s misdeeds.  Town Council and Contestee engaged in a pattern of illegal and outrageous acts designed to thwart investigation into Contestee’s illegal acts, to wit:
(i)    At the October 26, 2010 Town Council meeting, the Town Council, including Contestee,  sanctioned, by ordinance and participated in the unlawful restriction of content based speech during “Call to the Public” after being provided with case law by Contestant.  Contestee voted “Aye” on this illegal provision. Subsequently, on June 28, 2011,  a video of  denial of Contestant’s rights to speak was posted on Youtube and was viewed over two hundred thousand times and resulted in national and international attention being focused on Quartzsite. (See: Exhibit “G”)
(ii)    At the October 26, 2010 Town Council meeting, the Town Council, including Contestee,  sanctioned by ordinance, and participated in the unlawful revocation of Town business licenses and vendor permits without Due Process of Law. Contestee voted “Aye” on this illegal provision. (See: Exhibit “G”)
(iii)    Contestee has violated his sworn oath of office while a member of Town Council, and other acts in violation of law as set forth in Exhibit “D” attached hereto and made a part hereof.
    8.    Contestee participated in his unlawful swearing in to office as Mayor.   Contestee was sworn in as mayor at a special meeting on September 6, 2011.  (Note the swearing in and the completion of the canvas of election and declaration of results thereof was done at the same time at the special meeting.  Quartzsite Town Code, section 2-1-3  (See Exhibit “A”) provides that “Council Members shall assume the duties of office at the regularly scheduled Council meeting next following the date of the general election.”  Neither this code section or any other section whatsoever authorizes Contestee to be sworn in at a special Town Council meeting.   Contestee usurped the office of mayor before the time to contest the election has expired. Also, under information and belief Contestant understands that Contestee failed to obtain a bond for the office of mayor (as required by Quartzsite Town Code 2-1-7) prior to being sworn in.  (See Exhibit “A” ).

Lizarraga usurps Foster as mayor of Quartzsite

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011 candidate and former Councilman Jose Lizarraga was sworn in as mayor, in a special meeting of the Quartzsite Town Council. The unusual action was not undisputed. Town Attorney/Town Prosecutor Martin Brannan's contention that it was a lawful maneuver was questioned in a written complaint, by The DESERT FREEDOM PRESS publisher and mayoral candidate Jennifer Jones. Mayor Ed Foster, who was recalled by the wife of Councilman Jerry Lukkasson, was expected to retain his position for another week, until the regular council meeting.

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.

Hundreds attend Quartzsite Liberty Fest

http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/Article/095500-2011-08-27-quartzsite-live-coverage-of-oathkeeper-event-photo-update-4.htm

http://www.parkerliveonline.com/2011/08/29/quartzsite-rally-attracts-hundreds/

Saturday’s Quartzsite Liberty Festival made its mark on Quartzsite Saturday as planned, despite temperatures of 114 to 117 degrees.
The rally was arranged to protest the actions of the town’s council and police chief, most conspicuously the treatment of Quartzsite police officers who were suspended or fired in what the protestors say was retaliation for bringing formal allegations against Chief Jeff Gilbert.
Marchers chanted “Quartzsite Ten, oath-keeping men” as they walked over 2.5 miles from an RV park south of I-10, over the freeway bridge and along the streets of Quartzsite to Town Hall.
Several politically active groups were in attendance, including Oath Keepers, the Tea Party Patriots, the Sons of Liberty Riders and campaigners for Ron Paul for President 2012.
Many attendees carried flags, banners and signs. Some were armed with pistols or rifles, and cameras of all sorts. Law enforcement and other authorities were largely absent from the demonstration.
Chilled water bottles were available to the heat-weary crowd, and Grubstake bar and restaurant was flooded with people during a stop-off along the route. Some were seen pouring water over their heads. Others’ clothing appeared to be almost entirely soaked with sweat.
Quartzsite Mayor Ed Foster said people had flown in from around the United States for the rally, from states as far and wide as Alaska, Florida, Texas and Connecticut. “I live here and I’m having a hard time in this heat, so I know, for these people from [colder states], it’s gotta be tough on them”, he said.
Local activist Jennifer Jones, the video of whose arrest at a public meeting provoked outrage on the internet, said the people had braved the weather to send a strong message about the importance of liberty.
Standing in front of the doors of the council chambers that she was hauled out of months earlier, Jones told a cheering crowd, “God bless each and every one of you for coming and standing with the citizens of this town today. Right is right and wrong is wrong, and the rule of law applies to everyone.”
Among the speakers at the event were Arizona State Legislators Carl Seel and Judy Burges, and Libertarian Party activist Barry Hess.

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."

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,
