Publisher's Note: Due to repeated problems with the Maxpages server, a new Ledger website has been created and is under construction. Programming is at the HTML level with far greater webspace, so a much better site will result after the learning curve is breached. The URL is http://www.stormpages.com/llanoledger. Both Maxpages websites, however, will continue to be maintained and updated for quite some time until the readership has been made aware of the new website.

*****NET Sgt. Jimmy Hopkins*****

Finally found a source sought for months. Made a trip early last September to Abilene with another source looking for Sylvia Smith. Ms. Smith had been there in rehab shortly before our arrival. Completing therapy, she fled Abilene in fear of the 33rd Judicial District Narcotics Enforcement Team (NET). Sadly, we just missed her.

Fortunately as happenstance would have it, this writer ran into her recently. ... Quite clear now why NET was in hot pursuit of her. She has information highly damaging to this Nazi "police" agency. Remember NET's recent arrest of fugitive David Willard in Austin? New readers are strongly urged to access past editions of this publication for complete details.

This writer had reported no one had been arrested for aiding and abetting the fugitive at the Austin residence where Willard was picked up. NET confidential informant and stooge Kingsland resident Danny O'Leary had turned him in according to numerous sources. The explanation offered was glaringly inadequate. NET HAD to have been directly aiding and abetting.

Turns out they were, according to Sylvia Smith. She was about to publicly come forward when NET hauled Willard in. Interesting, isn't it? Ms. Smith, although fearful, is determined to expose NET for what it is. She strongly confirms the Narcotics Enforcement Team is involved in the manufacture and distribution of methamphetamine.

She also claims to have witnessed NET Sgt. Jimmy Hopkins inject cocaine between his toes some three years ago. This is the same corrupt and abusive Nazi "officer" who dogged the Mirelez family and Carolyn Alsobrook. ... Hey, Brent? Dwight? Sam? Cheryll? Think you can intimidate and silence everyone? The house of cards is coming down. Much more to come.

*****Llano County Law Enforcement Center*****

Ribbon-cutting festivities were held Saturday, January 5 at the new jail facility. See Ole' J.P on Ch.14 and 36 on all the newscasts? Seemed a bit nervous on the morning show, didn't he? ... What's the matter, "Judge"? ... A little uncomfortable with the outrageous waste of money for an unneeded facility?

Readers will recall this publication conducted a study of jail booking records nearly two and a half years ago. The material can still be found in earlier editions. The current jail had and continues to be unduly overloaded by the 33rd Judicial District Narcotics Enforcement Team (NET) as well as the Sheriff's Department with prisoners on petty charges. Sadly, many of whom are totally innocent. ... Got to keep the bucks flowing, right, "Judge"?

Then again, in Llano County, it's not "justice". It's the money, stupid. Lots of it. ... Right, J.P., Sam, Cheryl, Nathan? The "Judge" unsurprisingly once again made a buffoon of himself, crowing county "growth" justifies the facility. Is that right, J.P.? ... Got a bridge in New York and some waterfront property in Arizona you might be interested in. All joking aside, the "Judge" has once again falsely and disingenuously misled the people.

Then again, you jackasses out there who "demanded" the facility are getting exactly what you so richly deserve. -- An ungreased shaft straight up where the sun seldom shines. Enjoy. Hear the figure mentioned by the "reporter" during the morning newscast? Readers will recall the original cost was to be $3 million. With cost overruns, she mentioned a figure of $4.5 million. ... 50 percent more than the original estimate.

Voters need to remember the "Judge" and his equally outrageous cronies on the Commissioners' Court when it comes time for re-election. The figure of $4.5 million is misleading, however. Even if accurate, it does not reflect bond interest which will nearly double the cost. -- For a facility unneeded and no more than a pork barrel boondoggle. ... A facility none of us had the opportunity to vote for. Right, J.P.?

Think the "Judge's" discomfort on television may have been related to the enormity of the waste? Couldn't be, could it? Readers will recall Ole' J.P. was not forthcoming with all paperwork, documents, e-mails, etc. sought in an earlier open records request. Falsely claimed he had provided access to everything. As mentioned at the time, his responses to e-mails were NOT provided.

Then again, there is no one willing to enforce the Public Information Act. Texas Attorney General John Cornyn has ignored all requests for assistance. Every one of them. District Attorney Sam "The Sham" Oatman and County Attorney Cheryll "Maybe" Mabray have no interest in calling attention to issues cleverly ignored by our corrupt and abusive "prosecutors". None. Why should they? Money talks, doesn't it? Got the best "prosecutors" money can buy, no?

Pointedly, County records cannot be trusted. Previously, there've been serious auditing problems. With a "Judge" who clearly stonewalled an open records request and lied about providing full access setting the example, is there no wonder why records validity is so highly questionable? It's not over, J.P.. Not by a long shot. ... You and the "Boys" enjoying the loot?

The District Attorney, "Judge", Commissioners, and County Attorney have no interest in "justice", -- just maintaining the established order and lining their pockets. Clearly why they took such great pains to have this writer illegally booted off publicly-owned computers for publishing the truth.

Ole' Sam, J.P. and his cronies, and, of course Ole' Cheryll have no interest in the First Amendment or the apparent breaking of privacy laws by Kingsland Librarian Pam Downing in disclosing confidential information to Commissioners Duane Stueven and Keith Faulkner. -- Both of whom unethically brought pressure to bear on the Library System.

Then again, the stench of kangaroo justice is alive and well in Llano County. For new readers, be sure to access earlier editions for the complete story of this writer's ejection. ... Adolph and Benito would have been proud. Sieg Heil.

*****Bush Slams Senate*****

The "President" has his shorts in a knot over Senate refusal to accept his economic "stimulus" package. Tough, isn't it? "Administration" officials whine Democratic Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle is "obstructionist". Right on, Tom. Stick it to 'em. Ole' George "The Tush" has no interest in protecting the needs of the little guy or gal despite his crowing to the contrary in his Saturday radio broadcast: "Some in the Senate seem to think we can afford to do nothing, that the economy will get better on its own sooner or later...I say that if your job is in danger or you have a loved one out of work, you want that recovery sooner not later."

Sadly, the "President" is a liar. He could care less for ordinary people. Despite crocodile tears and "compassionate" "conservatism". Rather, his economic "stimulus" package is carefully designed to enrich his corporate cronies. Democrats need once again distinguish themselves from the Republican Party. The "President" is vulnerable on economic issues. Even the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has lambasted his economic package. ... Wouldn't want to confuse the GOP with the truth, would we?

Sooner or later the aggressively stupid public will wake up and realize what they've got occupying the White House. ... A fascist who has taken great pride and pleasure in eviscerating civil liberties, while greedily lining his pockets and that of big business.

*****Supreme Court To Examine Passenger Searches*****

That's right. The "Administration" pressured the Supreme Court to take on a case, United States v. Drayton, 01-631, reviewing police power to search passengers on public transportation. The "President" does NOT want police to inform passengers of their rights prior to initiating a warrantless search. Fascist Solicitor General Theodore Olson disingenuously asserted: "Programs that rely on consensual interactions between police officers and citizens on means of public transportation are an important part of the national effort to combat the flow of illegal narcotics and weapons."

Precisely, you jackass. Pointedly, how is it "consensual" when passengers are NOT informed they have the right to refuse? Furthermore, what right do government goons have to board a bus with no probable cause, no warrant, and yet intimidate innocent passengers into "consenting" to an illegal search? What right do these thugs have to ask about travel plans and luggage? It's none of their g-ddamned business. None. This is NOT Nazi Germany. Wake up, people. ... Before it's too late.

*****Writer Released*****

Remember free-lance writer Vanessa Leggett, imprisoned for over five months for refusing to release research to federal prosecutors? Finally, she was freed from a federal detention center in Houston after the term of the grand jury expired. Her appeal is still pending before the Supreme Court. ... Another classical example of Nazi prosecutorial power designed to eviscerate the First Amendment and intimidate the media. Fortunately, the young woman stood tall and essentially told "prosecutors" where to stick it... Taxpayers were looted to provide her keep for nearly half a year. Tough, isn't it? The "prosecutors" and "judge" ought to take up a collection, no? Then again, taxpayers got precisely what they so richly deserved.

*****Accused Terrorist Wants Trial Televised*****

That's right. The "20th suicide terrorist", Zacarias Moussaoui, wants network coverage. He's quite correct. People have a right to see "justice" in progress. Say what you want about televised coverage of the Simpson debacle, it DID expose the police and prosecutors for what they truly were: bungling boobs caring little for evidence handling and constitutional rights. Precisely why a guilty man went free.

While highly unlikely, terrorist trials should be televised in their entirety. What are the people so afraid of? Seeing how corrupt and abusive the court system truly is? Especially important, all military tribunals be televised. After all, history should have a record of kangaroo justice at its very worst.

*****Book Burning*****

Reminiscent of Nazi Germany and in the best tradition of Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini, Christ Community Church in Alamogordo, N.M. burned Harry Potter and other books, Sunday, December 30, 2001. ... A fitting way for these "enlightened" fascists to end the year, no? Sieg Heil.

*****Klee's Kaleidoscope*****

Be sure to click on 'Kaleidoscope V4' on the Maxpages site or 'Kaleidoscope' on the Stormpages site for Harvey Klee's latest edition. This publication is a forum for a diversity of viewpoints. All are encouraged to submit material.

*****Unbridled Fear*****

As strongly asserted in the last 36 editions, gut-wrenching fear generated by the Narcotics Enforcement Team is quite impressive. After all, these Nazi stormtroopers not only outrageously intimidate defendants and their gutless attorneys, but even innocent third parties who have suffered at their corrupt and abusive hands.

Recently, a source came forward with allegations regarding the death of a loved one under exceptionally curious circumstances. Sadly, the survivor got cold feet.

Most pointedly and quite publicly, how in hell do you expect these abuses to end if you don't have the guts to stand up and expose them to the light of day?

Every time a source cowardly runs the other way, the corrupt and abusive sons of bitches win. Every g-ddamned time. Worse yet, another nail is driven into the coffin of liberty.

If you don't have the courage to stand up and do the right thing, why should this writer continue to place himself in physical and legal jeopardy trying to expose the outrageous corruption and abuse?
