To date, the saddest, saddest day in U.S. history. The first national socialist, fascist 'President' will be sworn into office.

Got guts? Tired of being lied to? Like an alternative source of information truly independent and free of government propaganda? Want this publication to continue? Send a donation to P.O. Box 151, Buchanan Dam, Tx. 78609.

No matter what, no matter where, this publication will remain up and running. For it to remain centered here, however, financial and/or material support must be provided. Status quo, unsustainable. Time to step up. Now.

Brother dearest. ... Been awhile, hasn't it, Bro? A little antsy? Wondering when the next shoe is about to fall, that is, when you'll be fully exposed for the thieving son of a bitch you truly are? Patience. All in good time, good buddy. When I'm damned good and ready. Timing just right. After all, a son of a bitch who's stolen his father's estate needs to be fully exposed publicly for whom and what he is, don't you think? Indeed, a public service for your neighbors, professional associates, family, and friends, etc..

Conveniently, forget? Others need to protect themselves against a fraud who masquerades as both a teacher and a counselor, no? -- How the hell did you ever pass an MMPI some forty years ago to get hired? You're not stable. Have not been. ... Must have really been pissed off at the old man to rip off an estate, no? How much did you steal while he was alive and supposedly under your care?

How much did you bribe law enforcement to ignore a complaint I filed with them years before the old man died? How much did you bribe the prosecutor to ignore a complaint filed with her several years ago? How much? Use the old man's money to bribe the bitch? Her cohorts? Your law enforcement shysters? While there may indeed be no justice from a corrupt system, fortunately, I do have a way to publicly expose you for the goddamned thieving son of a bitch you truly are.

... Unlike our grandmother who scrubbed floors on her hands and knees during the Depression for peanuts, only to have what little she had stolen by her son, our uncle, another goddamned thieving son of a bitch just like you. Remember how, surprise, surprise, there was no life insurance when our grandfather died? Despite the fact our grandmother gave her thieving bastard son premium money year after goddamned year? Only, as the thieving son of a bitch he truly was, to have pocketed it. Again, just like you.

Remember when he booted her out of the house she had bought him when he had had enough of her? -- Despite the fact he had lied and promised she could stay the rest of her life? She had to climb two flights of stairs on an ulcerated leg to get to a bathroom he had never built for her at ground level as falsely promised. Nothing ever happened to the thieving son of a bitch as far as justice was concerned. Worse, he was never exposed publicly for the thieving son of a bitch he truly was.

Will be different for you, Bro. While you've bought off authorities, you will be publicly exposed. In great detail. In good time. When I'm damned good and ready. When exposure will do the maximum figurative damage to your goddamned sordid reputation. -- Just the truth, brother dearest, however. Just the truth.

Irony of ironies? When the thieving son of a bitch died, and our mother was finally informed he had passed, she cried for her brother, -- the bastard thief who stole from her mother. Sad, isn't it? Too bad she's not still alive to see you publicly exposed for the goddamned thieving son of a bitch you, yourself, truly are. As was he. Not in a court of law you've bought off, however. Right here.

In good time. Again, when I'm damned good and ready. Employing the very same tactics used against Amanda Wright of Wells Fargo. -- On steroids, however, since all dirty family laundry will be aired. All of it. No threat. A promise. Emails sent to your neighbors, friends, professional associates, businesses you deal with. Although an enormous amount of work, all doable courtesy of the Internet. Despite being some 1,800 miles away. -- Small world, isn't it, Bro? Enjoy the stolen loot, you son of a bitch. Forget? It's all you have.

Brother dearest. Save all the check stubs from the old man's accounts? Fraudulently sign any of them yourself? Think this material couldn't be obtained from the banks either through discovery or a criminal investigation? Still own the house on Condict Rd.? Any other properties besides this one and the old man's you stole with the help of your shyster bastard? Be interesting to see how far your assets extend and where. Think all that information isn't accessible? That I won't determinedly obtain it?

That not only an extensive Internet search will be conducted that will likely take months to complete? But an extensive background check as well? Think the Catholic high school you attended shouldn't be informed of the thievery of one of its graduates? Think the clerics there would be appalled at their failure to teach you right from wrong? How about both universities? Think neighbors in the old man's neighborhood won't be informed of your deception? Think they don't have a right to know?

Ever follow the advice of Dr. Bert Wiser, psychological statistics professor at MSU? That is, get treatment for your achingly debilitating instability? Is that why you wound up looting the old man? Or, is it simply a convenient excuse you'll use to defend the indefensible? Think this will end any time soon? That is, public exposure of you as a thieving son of a bitch? We're just getting started, Bro. Just getting started.

Don't like it? Tough shit. Sue me you thieving son of a bitch. Would use discovery to learn and post on this website all there is to know about you, your activities, predilections, business 'deals,' as well as all your financial transactions, etc.. All of it. Would certainly avoid the expense of an extensive background check on you, thieving brother dearest.

Even if you were successful in court, there is nothing for you to take, this remains, as well, a homesteading state where minimal assets are protected anyway. This site is hosted in an overseas country that doesn't particularly like government intrusion, remains not prone to cooperate. Besides, can always upload to another webhost in still yet another country. The possibilities are endless, Bro. Just takes willingness, effort, unshakable determination.

Even if I lost it all would be more than worth it to expose you for the goddamned thieving son of a bitch you truly are. Even if you bribed a goddamned nazi 'judge' to remove posted material, would not cooperate and be more than willing to rot in jail. Would certainly keep reposting it all no matter the cost and/or personal consequences every time it was taken down. Forget, you thieving son of a bitch? I never ever give up.

Since all I seek is your exposure for the thief you truly are, would all be worth it. For the sake of principle. All the work, financial cost, as well as the time I am about to dedicate to this effort, you deceptive, unstable, sick, thieving son of a bitch. Unlike you, I live on principle and have absolutely nothing to lose. You do. Will certainly take great pleasure and satisfaction in doing all I can to publicly expose you for whom and what you are.

To say nothing of placing enormous pressure on prosecutors you and your equally corrupt shyster son of a bitch apparently bribed. Don't like it? Again, tough shit. Chew harder. The public needs to know to protect itself. From you and your shyster bastard. People who live and travel in your circles as well. Including his. As a thief, you and he can't be trusted by anyone. You'll determinedly f--k them.

More than willing to provide this truly public service. People certainly need to know whom and what you are. What you have sadly become. You certainly weren't brought up to be a thieving son of a bitch. What happened? Where did you lose yourself, Bro? -- Never mind. ... Truly doesn't matter. Only your exposure.

Hey, Bro? Remember me? How soon they conveniently forget. ... Half asleep? -- Out to lunch? ... In your own perverse little world? That of a criminal? Wake up. Conveniently, gutlessly forget? Insanely believe you're someway, somehow off the hook? Think again. We're not done. You remain a thief who will be exposed for whom and what your are. What you certainly have become. No question about that. Patience, you thieving son of a bitch. Exposure is coming. Promise.

Think I don't have time? Truly believe the ongoing Presidential fiasco ends no matter who wins? The murderous decay in law enforcement gets resolved any time soon? Criminal Wells Fargo employees from local Kingsland bank manager Amanda S. Wright right up to and including CEO John Stumpf get prosecuted in the near future despite egregious criminal activity? Wouldn't hold my breath, would you?

Think I don't have time to handle all this and your public exposure for the estate-stealing criminal son of a bitch you've truly become? How could you steal from the old bastard, you incredibly sad sack of shit? Certainly weren't brought up to be a thief. What happened to you? Where'd you lose yourself?

No question, 2017 will be a most remarkable, defining year for you, Bro. Public exposure for the thieving piece of shit you've sadly become. It's on the way. Promise. Hope you sue. Nothing for you to take. Tough, isn't it? Certainly, makes me judgment proof. Will certainly, as well, take advantage of discovery. Publish every detail I can get my hands on. No matter the consequences. Only consideration? Prime directive? Your exposure for whom and what you are.

Readers? This not-so-brotherly piece of shit stole from our father. Manipulated the old man to line his pockets. Just like our uncle on my mother's side of the family did to my grandmother. Runs in the family. Our family. ... Right, Bro? This game now gets played my way, -- not yours, you son of a bitch. That is, no more U.S. Mail tag.

Anything sent by mail will be refused, returned unopened. Want contact? Email. libertyinperil@riseup.net. Quick. Easy. Better yet? A digital record. Permanent. Easily accessible. Easily uploaded to this site when and if it becomes necessary. The shyster bastard you hired to steal the estate shouldn't expect escape, either, from public exposure as the thieving piece of shit he, like you, truly both are. Unscrupulous thieves.

Sincerely hope that piece of crap sues as well. Nothing to take. Discovery again would be published no matter the personal cost. Nothing quite like public exposure, is there? Especially, when it is nothing but the truth and there is absolutely nothing to lose exposing two pieces of criminal shit for whom and what they are. Two pieces of gutless human excrement who looted an old man. ... Right, Bro?

There is no better disinfectant than sunlight, readers. Glaring sunlight. Dazzling brilliance. Amazing how the roaches run for cover. Equally pointedly, how vermin on two legs manage to so easily prey on the elderly courtesy of the out of control fascist police-state we now live in. While there'll never be any justice vis a vis this theft, there will be exposure to the brilliant light of day for both criminal perpetrators. Count on it, you not-so-brotherly criminal son of a bitch.

As always, when a cop does something heroic and/or of exceptional benefit to the community, it leads. Always. CBS Los Angeles reports:

"To say that Bill Davy was down on his luck is an understatement. He lost his mom, an apartment they shared and was about to lose his car, out of which he had been living for more than a year in Canoga Park. His car registration tag had expired by more than three years. When Davy learned late last month that the parking lot where he was camping out was kicking him out, he panicked and was afraid to drive it."

Indeed. Here, in Nazi Llano County would have quickly wound up in jail, car impounded.

"When Officer Duke Dao, who grew up in the San Fernando Valley, learned what Davy was up against, he offered to help instead of impounding Davy’s car."

“It’s where I grew up,” the officer said as his eyes welled up with tears. “Seeing Bill like that, it really touched me.”

... Hey, Sheriff? Certainly doesn't sound like one of your goddamned jackbooted bastards, does it?

"Besides connecting Davy with transitional housing for the homeless, Officer Dao and the LAPD set up an account to raise money to get Davy’s car registered again. It would have cost him more than $800."

... Hey, Bill? Any of your thugs ever do the same? Would certainly publish the details in their entirety without editing.

"When the officer told Davy that his registration renewal fees will be paid for, Davy was lost for words and broke down in tears of joy. “He calls me his brother, and I call him my brother, too. I didn’t know I had a brother in the police department, but I do now,” Davy said. Dao was just as moved by the good news. “You want people to smile. You want people to move on. It’s a great feeling. I can’t describe it,” the officer said."

Stunning, isn't it? Certainly true there are good cops, great cops, caring cops out there. Not all are like the jackbooted pieces of shit in Llano County. ... Right, Sheriff? TL? "Sonny Boy?" Madam County Attorney?

"Davy now hopes he will be able to receive Supplemental Security Income benefits so he won’t have to live out of his car again."

No one should have to live like this. No one. Especially, at a time of record corporate profits, cash reserves. Hat's off to the officer. Could certainly use a few like him here in Nazi Llano County, right, Sheriff?

There was a break-in early morning at the Buchanan Dam Volunteer Fire Department on January 13. Quite a bit of damage, theft, equipment destroyed. If you have any information, contact the Sheriff's Office at (325) 247-5050. This is a great Department that provides the community a vital, desperately needed service.

Another great story of a cop going well beyond the call of duty. CBS News reports:

"While patrolling in a town in Pennsylvania’s Lancaster County in the snow last Saturday, Sgt. Darrick Kepley happened across a one-car crash near the Pennsylvania Turnpike, southwest of Reading. “The wheel was lying next to the car,” Kepley said. “It was actually broken off from where they hit the raised curbing.”

Wouldn't have been of such great concern other than for the fact the vehicle was on a life saving mission.

"But this was a special “delivery.” The SUV was carrying a team of doctors and a critical cargo. “A transplant team,” Kepley explained. “A liver and kidneys from York Hospital to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.” There was not a moment to waste, with the liver recipient already on the operating room table, 70 miles away in Center City."

“So I turned on the lights and siren and we headed down the Turnpike to the Schuylkill [Expressway] and made it there,” Kepley said. “I think realizing what the donor and the donor’s family was going through or went through and knowing that the person in Philly was going to have a second chance, I figured it was time to go,” Kepley said."

"The doctors got to the hospital in time, and the surgery was a success. Kepley said he’s glad he was in the right place at the right time, even though his fellow officers were hoping he’d return with some precious cargo. “Everybody was looking for cheesesteaks,” he said, “but because of the roads I decided just to head back. Saving it for next time.”

Hat's off to the officer. Did what had to be done. ... Ever have a Philly cheesesteak? Nothing quite like it. ... Figuratively, indeed to 'die' for.

"Authorities credit an 85-year-old Texas man who walks with the aid of a cane for helping save the lives of two women whose speeding car flipped over onto his front yard and burst into flames. Texas Department of Public Safety officials say the 22-year-old driver likely was driving too fast as she rounded a bend early Sunday and lost control in Burleson, south of Fort Worth. Lindell Marbut witnessed the wreck, banged on the windshield with his cane and helped to pull the driver from the car as his caretaker called 911. The caretaker then helped him drag the passenger to safety."

Yet another great story of a Good Samaritan saving a life. This time, that of a state trooper. CNN reports:

"An Arizona trooper who had been shot and was being beaten by a man with a pistol was saved Thursday by a motorist who killed his attacker, authorities said. The man who came upon the scene warned the suspect to stop striking the officer, but the assailant continued, said Capt. Damon Cecil, a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Public Safety. The good Samaritan got a gun from his car and shot the suspect, who died at the scene."

"The trooper, a 27-year veteran, was shot in the chest and shoulder. He is in serious and stable condition, Cecil said."

"Thanks for the thoughts and prayers this morning for our Trooper that was shot. Looks like he will be okay after some recovery @Arizona_DPS
— Col. Frank Milstead (@frank_milstead) January 12, 2017"

"Col. Frank Milstead, director of the Public Safety Department, said he would like to thank the man who stepped in. "I don't know that my trooper would be alive today without his assistance," he said, according to CNN affiliate KNXV-TV in Phoenix."

"Public safety spokesman Bart Graves said the incident began with the trooper responding to report of shots fired from the median of an unlit, rural section of Interstate 10 near Tonopah. The officer came across a vehicle that had rolled over and got out to investigate. While the trooper was setting flares, the suspect shot him. It was not clear where the suspect was when the officer pulled up. Milstead said at some point the suspect started beating the trooper, who was unable to use his right arm to defend himself. That's when the motorist pulled up and opened fire on the suspect. "It's fairly rare" that citizens who come to the aid of law enforcement officers use deadly force, Cecil said. Another motorist who stopped used the trooper's portable radio to call in the shooting."

"Brian Schober was driving to his job in Yuma on Thursday when he came upon the bright lights of a stopped police SUV and a man waving his hands, asking for help. When Schober got out of his pickup truck, he saw two men on the pavement, both shot. One was Ed Andersson, an injured Arizona state trooper. The second was a man authorities said had been beating the trooper after shooting him twice. The man who flagged Schober down had fatally wounded that attacker minutes before Schober stopped to see what was going on. A woman was on the ground, too, having been ejected from a car that had crashed off the side of the highway. She died from her injuries."

"Schober, a 44-year-old engineer, got on the trooper's portable radio and calmly called for help. "Hello, officer down, officer down outside Tonopah," Schober says. "Come in, please. This is a civilian. He's shot on I-10 ... He's in real bad shape. Please send air support, helicopter, please." Schober tells the dispatcher there are two other people who need medical attention. Schober sent the good Samaritan's fiancee, who had placed a 911 call before Schober arrived, after the first aid kit in the trooper's SUV. "I think some of my EMT training came back. It's been 25 years, but some of it probably came back instinctively," Schober told CNN on Friday. Schober cleaned the officer's head wounds from the beating and searched for where a bullet hit the trooper's body. The first motorist, meanwhile, kept an eye on the unidentified suspect, who died at the scene just a few feet from the trooper."

"The timing was everything. If the civilian had been there any later the cop would probably have bled out," Schober said. "If I hadn't been driving that way at that time, the authorities probably wouldn't have made it on time and the cop would have died. It was a two-pronged scenario, and we were there at that time for a reason."

"Other emergency responders arrived at the scene about 5 a.m., Schober said. Once medics showed up with flashlights, we found the wound and saw the extent of his head injuries," he said. Authorities said the trooper was actually hit twice -- in the shoulder and chest. The trooper's surgery went well, Col. Frank Milstead, the director of the Arizona Department of Public Safety, tweeted. "He & family ask for privacy during recovery. Appreciates outpouring of support," Milstead wrote."

Incredibly courageous for these civilians to have stopped. Aided the trooper.

"Authorities do not know why the suspect shot the trooper, who was responding to a report of shots fired and happened upon the rollover crash. He was setting up flares when the suspect shot him, officials said."

"Moments later, the first motorist stopped at the scene. He had a gun in his truck and shot the man as he pistol-whipped the trooper, authorities said. The two witnesses were questioned separately until 3 p.m., Schober said. None of the other people involved in incident have been identified. The motorist who shot the suspect asked authorities to tell the media he doesn't want to give interviews. CNN's Samira Said and Keith Allen contributed to this report."

Hat's off. Job well done. Uncommon valor displayed by all involved including the trooper.

"The man who shot and severely beat an Arizona state trooper last week was a former member of the Mexican federal police who was in the country illegally, authorities said. He had rolled his car on Interstate 10 before he inexplicably attacked the officer who had stopped to help. Leonard Pennelas-Escobar opened fire on Trooper Edward Andersson early Thursday after the officer had stopped on the interstate and set up flares in a bid to get motorists to slow down. Pennelas-Escobar said something in Spanish before shooting the trooper, and then he started landing blows with his fists and beating the trooper’s head on the ground, Department of Public Safety Director Frank Milstead said Monday."

"A passing motorist who witnessed the attack retrieved a handgun from his vehicle and fired two shots at Pennelas-Escobar after he refused an order to stop attacking Andersson. With Pennelas-Escobar incapacitated, the motorist tended to the wounded trooper but was later drawn back into the dispute when Pennelas-Escobar got up and resumed his assault on Andersson. The motorist then fired a fatal shot at Pennelas-Escobar."

Wake up, Sheriff. Again, where is dashcam video of the killing of Jeffrey Gray Wise, 52, of Austin by DPS and the Llano County Sheriff's Office? Thirty-nine weeks, now. A goddamned disgrace. Why are you still sitting on this information? What are you hiding, Sheriff? What is the identity of the officers who killed Wise? Too gutless to release this information to the public that pays your salary and that of your goons? Reportedly, there were three officers involved in the shooting.

Who are they, Sheriff? Their past history? An ongoing investigation remains a lame bullshit excuse. How can you and your goons be trusted when you refuse to disclose information? Thirty-nine weeks. Especially, your egregious failure to disclose the identity of the officers who pulled the trigger. To cover your sorry ass, Sheriff? Those of your thugs? The people have a right to know what happened, how it went down. You don't understand that, Sheriff? Sadly, clearly, you answer to no one. Including taxpayers. Especially, taxpayers.

Until you and your goons come clean, doubt will remain this was indeed a good shoot. The longer you drag your feet, the greater the doubt. Think not? Wake up. Your credibility has tanked. Isn't getting any better as this bullshit continues unabated. Thirty-nine weeks. Still no identification of the officers involved ... Can't get your stories straight? In line? Discrepancy between LCSO and DPS? Wake up, Sheriff. The public no longer buys the bullshit. No longer trusts you. On this and many, many other issues. You have no credibility. Absolutely, none.

Readers, this is but one of about four other highly questionable killings by law enforcement in Llano County in the last decade or so. There was one within the City of Llano, another in a field near Fuzzy's Corner, Buchanan Dam, yet another in Point Tella, Buchanan Dam, still another in Tow. If there are any others I may have neglected to mention, kindly email.

It's time the public be fully informed. -- Know what we're dealing with here and how 'law' 'enforcement' operates in this hell hole County. If these jackbooted bastards are not reined in, the life lost could be yours courtesy of a law enforcement system that is no longer accountable to anyone. ... Right, Sheriff? TL? "Sonny Boy?" Madam County Attorney?

The Sheriff seems to have no clue the people who pay him and his goons are entitled to know whom is killing whom and why. This shit always seems to be swept under the carpet. Ignored. The attitude of these jackbooted sons of bitches is trust us. They can't be. They've lied too many times. Refuse to be accountable to anyone. We live in a goddamned fascist police-state where law enforcement does as it pleases. Usually, with impunity. That has to change.

The Texas Rangers have become rubber stamp to atrocities committed by law enforcement. This also has to change. No one is holding law enforcement accountable any longer. No one. No one in state or federal government. This is precisely why Ferguson triggered such an uproar. There was no justice there. None here. None anywhere. Officers are abusive, corrupt, inept.

Falsely ticket and arrest the innocent to line County coffers. Court fees charged continue to be horrendous. -- Aren't taxpayers already looted to pay these costs? Aren't you boys not only double f--king those falsely accused, but taxpayers also hellaciously looted to pay the very same costs? Yet, the criminal bastards in power in Llano continue to pile on the fees. This is nothing more than goddamned bullshit. This money finds its way into the pockets of the corrupt, abusive bastards who falsely believe they run and own this hell hole.

Would you believe the last time the Sheriff's Office happened to be 'audited' during the Garrett regime, reportedly, auditors couldn't figure out what went where and why? Yet, surprise, surprise. Nothing was done. There has to be transparency. There is none. Why would these thieving bastards want any? ... Right, Sheriff? TL? How else could they so easily steal and loot with virtual impunity? Worse, this reinforces jackbooted power in this goddamned, godforsaken hell hole County.

The public has a right to know the histories of the Sheriff's goons. Clearly, the Sheriff doesn't think so. That is, where they came from. Why they left where they were. What is happening here is the Sheriff is using 'personnel matters' as a convenient excuse to deny the public access to the history of outrageously corrupt, abusive, inept officers who are no more than criminals themselves.

He's protecting his outrageously corrupt, abusive, inept jackbooted bastards. Worse, the standards imposed by sheriff's offices statewide with the exception of metropolitan counties are well below those of DPS and city police departments. Why? So the corruption, abuse, ineptness, and outright stealing can continue unabated? This has to change. ... Can't have that, can we? Sheriff? TL?

The public should understand Llano County authorities have it all sewn up. Did you know the Texas Attorney General does not have the authority to investigate and prosecute County authorities on his own? The District Attorney has to call for an investigation by the Texas Rangers. Then, the State can prosecute if it so chooses.

Consequently? Guess what? Nothing will happen. Nothing ever does. The goddamned corruption continues unabated until you, the public, pressure authorities. Precisely, why we all enjoy the 'best' government money can buy. Literally. Without question, the corrupt, abusive, inept sons of bitches are all bought and paid for. Firmly clamped to the taxpayer tit. Dependent on money looted from innocent citizens caught in their web. Phony fines and court costs cleverly designed to f--k the innocent and enrich the pieces of shit who falsely believe they run and own Llano County. Right, Sheriff? TL? "Sonny Boy?" Madam County Attorney?

Interestingly, the former Sheriff and District Attorney were reportedly forced to retire after an outrageous scandal involving a drunk driving police officer from out of town. Including special treatment of the drunken son of a bitch that no other citizen caught doing the same would have been afforded. An honest, honorable Llano County Deputy suffered the consequences. Forget? Great officers do not last in this hell hole County. ... Right, Sheriff? TL? "Sonny Boy?" Madam County Attorney?

With all ongoing abuse in this goddamned County, one thing remains for damned sure. We're just getting started, Sheriff. You will continue to be exposed for whom and what you and your corrupt, abusive, inept jackbooted bastards have become, truly are, not what you phonies purport to be, that is, how you continue to f--k over a public you've falsely sworn to protect and defend. -- Exposure, the only way short of an unwanted dreaded revolution to force desperately needed change in a goddamned fascist police-state. The Fourth Reich.

Have your jackbooted thugs been tested for steroids, Sheriff? If you've nothing to hide, Bill, release the results of all drug testing. 'Personnel matters?' Bullshit. Looted taxpayers have the right to know. They're footing the bill for all this goddamned corruption, abuse, ineptness. When will you and the boys end the shakedowns? Looting of the innocent to line County coffers? No honor at all?

Where are your swastika armbands, you fascist son of a bitch? You and your thugs remain out of uniform. Once again, Sheriff, and ad nauseum, did you and/or your goons pressure Schilling to exit the race? Did you steal the election? If so, an aggressively stupid, achingly gutless public gets what it truly deserves. One of the most corrupt, abusive, inept 'law' 'enforcement' agencies in our formerly great country.

Have any information, knowledge of, experience with a purportedly non-profit volunteer clean-up group called Looking Forward In Llano County affiliated with the Llano County Attorney's Office? Email this publication at libertyinperil@openmailbox.org to provide information and/or arrange a meeting to discuss this matter. If requested, your identity will be protected. The question is quite simple. Is this group what it claims to be and on the level?

Think police don't have far more important things to investigate? ABC News reports:

"Police in suburban Atlanta and Krispy Kreme officials say they're investigating a blog report that a police officer found the words "Black Lives Matter" written on his box of doughnuts when he went to pick them up."

Give me a break. An investigation? For what? A complaint to the corporation wouldn't have been sufficient?

"Smyrna police spokesman Louis Defense tells The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the agency is looking into the report and would release a statement once they have "vetted the issue."

"Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders may not remember much about the rallies they each held last year in Green Bay, Wisconsin. But officials at Green Bay City Hall sure do. And they're miffed the three politicos have stiffed them on police protection bills totaling $24,000."

Wasn't Green Bay more than compensated in terms of business generated as a result of these rallies?

"At least three-dozen municipal governments and law enforcement agencies say presidential campaigns have ignored hundreds of thousands of dollars in outstanding bills stemming from police security for campaign events — from Vallejo, California, to the University of Pittsburgh. That's according to a Center for Public Integrity analysis of federal campaign disclosures and municipal invoices, as well as interviews with more than 60 local government officials."

Sounds like unbridled greed. These events generated enormous business income for these communities. To say nothing of sales tax revenue. How much is enough?

"Presidential campaigns asserted in communications with some city governments that they're not responsible for many security costs. But this widespread failure to pay follows an election season when many presidential candidates — particularly Trump — argued that law enforcement deserved both more resources and more respect."

That's called disingenuous bullshit. Law enforcement already has too much in terms of resources. We're over policed. Precisely, why these out of control jackbooted bastards continue to shake down innocent citizens to line government coffers, 'justify' their employment. They're not-so-cleverly looting both innocent citizens caught in their web and long-suffering taxpayers. ... Right, Sheriff? TL? "Sonny Boy?" Madam County Attorney?

Finally, a consent decree almost two years after the needless death of Freddie Gray. CNN reports:

"Nearly two years after Freddie Gray's death in police custody led to protests, Baltimore and the US Justice Department agreed to terms Thursday on sweeping police reforms that include cameras in all police transport vans. The 227-page consent decree comes after the Justice Department monitored Baltimore's policing methods for more than a year after the 2015 death of Gray, who suffered a fatal injury while being transported in a police van."

"But the troubled police department's problems went beyond its transport of prisoners. The decree also mandates community oversight; new recruitment policies; additional training on stops, searches and arrests; an emphasis on "de-escalation, using tactics that defuse incidents"; and sexual assault investigations that promote "victim-centered, trauma-informed approach and combat gender bias."

"Thursday announcement follows a scathing Justice Department report in August that said the unconstitutional practices of some of the city's 2,600 officers led to disproportionate rates of stops, searches and arrests of black residents, and excessive use of force against juveniles and those with mental health disabilities."

What's seriously lacking in all this? Not only in Baltimore but all over our formerly great nation? No willingness to prosecute, convict, imprison and/or execute the murderous jackbooted bastards in blue. Precisely why there has been no real change. Will be no real change. Just more of the same as detailed here in edition after edition after edition.

Here is precisely why there will be no change any time in the near future:

"During Sessions' confirmation hearing Tuesday, Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, asked the attorney general nominee whether he would commit to maintaining and enforcing consent decrees. He responded that a decree isn't "necessarily a bad thing" but said he remained wary of lawsuits against police departments."

You hopelessly fascist bastards on the Right won't insist on prosecution of criminal officers. Other than a lawsuit, there is no way to force change. Are you nazi bastards deliberately trying to trigger the unthinkable? An unwanted dreaded second American revolution already catastrophically looming on the horizon?

"I think there is concern that good police officers and good departments can be sued by the Department of Justice when you just have individuals within a department that have done wrong," Sessions said."

That's clueless. The criminal problem within law enforcement is ubiquitous. All over the country. In all departments.

"These lawsuits undermine the respect for police officers and create an impression that the entire department is not doing their work consistent with fidelity to law and fairness, and we need to be careful before we do that."

Sessions is delusional. Won't be confused with the truth. There is no respect for law enforcement due to the criminal, abusive, inept behavior of the jackbooted bastards in blue. Officers, themselves, undermine public respect for them. Sessions has it achingly ass backwards. Then again, what can you expect from a bigot, misogynist, national socialist, fascist, etc.?

The greatest threat to all civil and constitutional rights and liberties, as well as to life itself, is no foreign power, no terrorist organization, not even the criminal element. It is from out of control law enforcement, their handlers, prosecutors, the courts, and all levels of government that refuse to hold these jackbooted bastards accountable for their crimes.

"It really is important that people trust police departments and the police departments have respect from their communities, and when you don't have that, people's safety is at risk." Sessions said."

All ass backwards from reality. The public can't, won't trust abusive, inept, criminal law enforcement. There will be no community respect for police under these conditions. The most dire risk to public safety is from criminal, inept, abusive officers who the public cannot, will not trust. Officers who are not held criminally liable for their crimes. Crimes that are occurring all over this country as reported here and elsewhere week after week after week. Sessions is hopelessly delusional. Too deaf to hear the rumble. That of an unwanted dreaded second American revolution already catastrophically looming on the horizon.

"The report found that officers routinely used excessive force, discriminated against African-Americans and made unlawful arrests. It found that officers stop large numbers of people - mostly in poor, black neighborhoods - with dubious justification and unlawfully arrest citizens for merely speaking in ways police deem disrespectful."

Hear the rumble? They're jackbooted thugs. Like here, in Nazi Llano County. ... Right, Sheriff? TL? "Sonny Boy?" Madam County Attorney?

"It also found that physical force was often used unnecessarily, including against the mentally disabled, and that black pedestrians and drivers were searched more often than people of other races."

Again, this is all over the country. Happening not only to blacks, however. ... Right, Sheriff? TL? "Sonny Boy?" Madam County Attorney?

"It also identified serious training deficiencies, accusing the department of “systemic failures” that violated the Constitution and the rights of citizens."

So what else is new? Happening all over the country, including here in Nazi Llano County.

"The federal investigation found that blacks accounted for 95 percent of the people stopped at least 10 times by Baltimore police, and roughly 84 percent of all pedestrian stops, between 2010 and 2015. Some individual black residents were stopped 30 times or more."

Hey, TL? No racism there? Still think blacks are just not doing what police are ordering them to do? That clueless?

"The report also said officers use unreasonable and excessive force, including against juveniles and civilians who aren’t dangerous or pose an immediate threat. Force is often used as a retaliatory tactic in instances where officers “did not like what those individuals said,” the report concluded."

Just like what's going on here in Nazi Llano County? ... Right, Sheriff? TL? "Sonny Boy?" Madam County Attorney?

In follow up to earlier editions on outrageous abuses within the Chicago Police Department, ABC News reports:

"Federal investigators have determined that the Chicago Police Department has routinely violated the constitutional rights of citizens for years in numerous ways, such as using excessive force, permitting racially discriminatory conduct and shooting individuals who posed no immediate threats, the U.S. Department of Justice announced today."

This is going on all over the nation, including right here in Nazi Llano County.

“One of my highest priorities as attorney general has been to ensure that every American enjoys police protection that is lawful, responsive and transparent,” Attorney General Loretta Lynch said in a statement today in announcing the findings. “Sadly, our thorough investigation into the Chicago Police Department found that far too many residents of this proud city have not received that kind of policing.”

"After a year-long probe into the city’s 12,000-officer police force, which began in December 2015 after the release of a dashcam video of a white officer’s shooting a black teen, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the North District of Illinois today released a scathing 161-page report that details their findings of “systemic deficiencies” in training and accountability that investigators say have led to a pattern or practice of using force in violation of the Constitution."

Again, this is nothing more than empty talk. No real action. No change. Hear the rumble? An unwanted dreaded second American revolution already catastrophically looming on the horizon.

"Fleeing, unarmed people shot in the back. Mentally ill men and women, not suspected of any crime, immobilized by a Taser while they lay on the ground. People already detained or incapacitated who were beaten, with police accounts falsely describing the force as necessary. A 161-page report from the Justice Department details harrowing accounts of excessive force by the Chicago Police Department and highlights systemic failures that allow the violence to continue even as members of the public attempt to protest or report the brutality."

"The investigation was launched after the death of Laquan McDonald in 2014 put Chicago's policing practices in the spotlight. Video released by court order showed a police officer shooting the black teenager in the back."

"The report found an ongoing "pattern or practice" of unreasonable and excessive force — not a series of isolated events. And the violations are rarely punished, the DOJ says, as officers' descriptions of encounters are taken "at face value" even when there's contradictory evidence."

"In "numerous incidents," Chicago officers chased and shot fleeing people who posed no threat to officers or the public, the DOJ says. In some cases, there was no basis even to suspect the person of committing a serious crime. "The act of fleeing alone was sufficient to trigger a pursuit ending in gunfire, sometimes fatal," the DOJ writes. In one case, the report says, police officers fired 45 rounds at a man who was running away, killing him. They claimed he had fired a gun at them while they were chasing him — even though they noted there was no gun found on the man."

"The DOJ also notes that the shooting of McDonald was a foot pursuit of a person who did not pose a threat, and it, like many other such chases, came to a "tragic end."

"The report found a pattern of officers using Tasers in unreasonable situations, with the department generally not investigating the incidents at all.

"The DOJ said it was difficult to track this practice, because the department kept such poor records on it — but still, the report found numerous examples. Chicago police chose to use Tasers on:

    A woman in a mental health crisis — not suspected of any crime — who failed to follow commands and "stiffened."
    A man suspected of petty theft. (He hit his head and died after a Taser was used on him.)
    An "unarmed, naked, 65-year-old-woman who had bipolar disorder and schizophrenia."
    A juvenile who fled after he was caught painting graffiti.
    A 16-year-old girl who flailed her arms after she was asked to leave school for having a cellphone.
    A 14-year-old girl in a fight."

Where's widespread public outrage across our formerly great country? Where?

"Officers sometimes hurt people as retaliation, the DOJ found — including retaliation against citizens who claimed a police stop was unlawful.

"They once used pain compliance techniques on a man who "stiffened and locked his arms while they were arresting him for walking his dog without a leash and refusing to present identification." The DOJ also highlighted an example of a 12-year-old Latino boy who was riding his bike under his father's supervision. A plainclothes officer, "responding to a report of 'two male Hispanics running from' the area," pulled the child off his bike, handcuffed him and pushed him up against a fence, without explanation to father or son. "The officer's only apparent basis for this detention was the boy's race, which is constitutionally unreasonable," the DOJ found."

Again, this is going on all over the country. With virtual impunity. ... Right, Sheriff? TL? "Sonny Boy?" Madam County Attorney?

"Time and again, the DOJ found, officers claimed their use of force was reasonable and the police department took their word for it — even in the face of video evidence showing obvious excessive brutality. Here's just one example. Police officers falsely claimed that a woman had attacked them, the DOJ writes:

"In the video, officers can be seen aggressively grabbing the woman, who was being arrested for a prostitution offense, throwing her to the ground, and surrounding her. After she is handcuffed, one officer tells another to 'tase her ten f- - - - - - times.' Officers call her an animal, threaten to kill her and her family, and scream, 'I'll put you in a UPS box and send you back to wherever the f- - - you came from' while hitting the woman — who was handcuffed and on her knees. Officers can then be seen discovering a recording device and discussing whether they can take it. Supervisors approved this use of force and the officers were not disciplined until after the woman complained to [the Independent Police Review Authority] and produced surveillance video of the event."

"One section of the report is dedicated to dangerous and potentially unlawful tactics the CPD apparently uses to gain information about locations of weapons, gang activity or drug activity.

"The DOJ says its investigation indicates that officers will sometimes arrest someone for a low-level offense or on false pretense and refuse to let the person go until he or she gives up information about where police can find guns stashed illegally. If the person can't or won't give a location, the officers reportedly will "take a young person to a rival gang neighborhood and either leave the person there or display the youth to rival members, immediately putting the life of that young person in jeopardy by suggesting he has provided information to the police."

Outrageous, isn't it? Hear the rumble? Law enforcement malfeasance is not sustainable. Unless there is change, could trigger the unthinkable.

"The use of unreasonable force mostly burdens minority communities in Chicago, the DOJ found. Black and Latino communities in the city suffer from higher crime and have more contact with police — and thus experience more incidents of excessive force. The CPD was found to use force 10 times more often against black residents than against whites."

"The DOJ found 354 complaints of Chicago officers using the N-word. Only four were sustained by police investigators — two because there were audio recordings, one because the officer admitted to it, and the last because the woman being berated was married to a police officer who took "extraordinary measures to document the incident." Some officers, including supervisors, have made discriminatory posts — like "the only good Muslim is a f- - - - - - dead one" — on social media, often without repercussions."

"Meanwhile, white residents who file a complaint about police misconduct are far more likely to see a result — their complaints are 2 1/2 times more likely to be sustained than complaints from black or Latino people, the DOJ says. When it's an allegation of excessive force, whites are three times more likely to find that the police department accepts their side of the story. In general, nonwhite residents reported persistent dehumanizing and demeaning treatment at the hands of the police, the DOJ says. One black teenager, asked what change he'd want to see in the CPD, said, "Act like you care."

"There are multiple reasons why the DOJ thinks the Chicago Police Department has an even bigger problem than this report describes. For one thing, there's all those videos that call into question officers' accounts. The DOJ expresses concern that many more officer accounts, in incidents where there isn't video, might be similarly inaccurate."

"The failures of the Chicago Police Department start with the training of recruits and proceed all the way through to the punishment when incidents do occur, the DOJ says. Training is inadequate, the report states. For instance, the DOJ observed a training in deadly force that started 10 minutes late, ended 20 minutes early and was based on a 35-year-old video — with information that was legally inaccurate and "clearly out of date." One recruit appeared to be sleeping through the class. When investigators interviewed recent graduates of the police academy, only 1 in 6 "came close to properly articulating the legal standard for use of force," the DOJ writes."

"Protocols to prevent excessive use of force are inadequate and often unenforced, the DOJ says. Violations are often not investigated. When the police department does open investigations, they are — with "rare exceptions" — incomplete and unfair, the report says. Officers appear to collude with one another, not only following a "code of silence" but actively falsifying reports and lying in testimony, the report alleges. Meanwhile, investigators ask leading questions, union representatives coach officers on what to say, and contradictory evidence is ignored or never pursued, the DOJ reports."

Certainly happens right here in Nazi Llano County. ... Right, Sheriff? TL? "Sonny Boy?" Madam County Attorney? The following is particularly galling:

"Even when serious misconduct is uncovered, officers can frequently avoid significant punishment. The result, the DOJ says, is a system of policing that is less effective and more dangerous for police officers — and regularly violates the constitutional rights of citizens."

This is something Republican nazis cannot understand. Remain determinedly clueless. Cannot grasp the fact police are figuratively, stupidly shooting themselves in the ass. That the status quo is simply unsustainable. ... As the rumble grows. An unwanted dreaded second American revolution already catastrophically looming on the horizon. The above quotes are courtesy of Camila Domonoske, an exceptionally fine writer, gifted investigator.

"Federal prosecutors won’t charge a deputy who was recorded tossing a student out of a desk at a South Carolina high school after she refused to give up her cellphone. The U.S. Justice Department pursues civil rights charges when someone with authority intentionally violates civil rights, not when they use poor judgment or make a mistake, the agency said Friday in a news release."

That's exactly why there is no justice for the criminal jackbooted bastards in blue. Precisely, why. No more than a bullshit, bogus Catch-22 to protect criminal officers who are not prosecuted by state authorities. Convenient, isn't it?

"State prosecutors also decided not to charge Ben Fields in the October 2015 confrontation at Spring Valley High School in Columbia, meaning Friday’s federal action closes any criminal case against the officer."

No justice for the criminal jackbooted bastard in blue. None at all. Not in a goddamned fascist police-state.

"Fields was fired days after the incident. His boss, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott, said at the time that he wanted to throw up after seeing a video showing Fields wrap his forearm around the student’s neck, flip her and the desk she was sitting in backward, and then toss the teen toward the front of the room before handcuffing her. The video was made by a classmate. Both girls were charged with violating South Carolina’s law against disturbing school, but the state prosecutor dropped the charges at the same time he cleared Fields."

Still no justice in Ferguson. Of any kind. Not even against the criminal jackbooted bastards in blue who used excessive force against protesters. NBC News reports:

"A federal judge on Monday dismissed a $40 million civil rights lawsuit that alleged police used excessive force against protesters in Ferguson following the death of Michael Brown."

This sad excuse for a jurist is bought and paid for. In the pocket of law enforcement and prosecutors.

"In a 74-page ruling, Judge Henry Autry sided with Missouri law enforcement saying the protesters "have completely failed to present any credible evidence that any of the actions taken by these individuals were taken with malice or were committed in bad faith."

This son of a bitch on the bench rubber stamped excessive force perpetrated by the criminal jackbooted bastards in blue. A raucous, boot clicking, goose stepping, treasonous, treacherous, traitorous Sieg Heil!, Your 'Honor?' Hear the rumble? That deaf? An wanted dreaded second American revolution already catastrophically looming on the horizon.

"The lawsuit, which was filed by nine individuals, alleged that local police unlawfully arrested, beat, tear-gassed and shot rubber bullets at them during the Ferguson riots."

Clearly, anything goes in the fascist police-state we now live in. Soon to be The Fourth Reich as the Trump nazi takes office.

"He also granted immunity to the officers from the lawsuit. "The decision was unfair and not consistent with applicable law," Gregory Lattimer, one of the attorneys representing the protesters, told NBC News Monday evening. Lattimer said he felt "disappointment and frustration," upon reading the judge's decision."

Expect more of the same as our formerly great country continues to nazify. There is no justice in what has now become a goddamned fascist police-state. ... Right, Sheriff?

"But Lattimer says he has already filed a notice of appeal in the the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. "This is a battle we will keep fighting," he said. "We will end it in the right way and get justice for these people."

You go Counselor! At least this attorney has guts, intestinal fortitude. Unlike gutless lawyers here in Nazi Llano County who sit on their ass. Afraid to rock the boat. That it might affect their income, ability to practice law here. What gutless pieces of shit.

It's amazing how law enforcement determinedly ignores harassment, threats, etc. made outside abortion clinics against women seeking care. Yet, when an officer does the right thing outside a DMV office against a pastor inciting verbal confrontation he is not backed up by the courts. Interesting, isn't it? Get this. Fox News reports:

"A police officer lacked probable cause to arrest a preacher for reading the Bible aloud at a California Department of Motor Vehicles office, a federal appeals court says. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling Wednesday rejected a lower court opinion that found in favor of California Highway Patrol Officer Darren Meyer. Calvary Church pastor Mark Mackey had sued Meyer, saying his Fourth Amendment rights were violated when Meyer arrested him for preaching without a permit outside the Hemet DMV in 2011."

Since there was verbal confrontation between the pastor and those entering the DMV, the officer most likely should have arrested the pastor for disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace. That might have stuck.

"Attention surrounding police shootings of black men have increased officers’ reluctance to use force and stop suspicious people, while heightening tensions between black people and police, according to a broad survey of police officers released Wednesday."

They still don't get it. Have an all or nothing mentality. Seem to think if they cannot do as they please with impunity, they'll do nothing at all. Probable cause means officers must have indication that a crime has been committed. Officers don't seem to understand this. When they murder on the job, shake down the innocent to line government coffers, get their cookies off abusing power, they cannot reasonably expect they'll face no opposition.

"The study of nearly 8,000 officers across the country, conducted by Pew Research Center and the National Police Research Platform between May and August, also shows a deep gulf between the attitudes of police and the general public over racial equality and officer-involved shootings."

These jackbooted bastards in blue are out to lunch. Clueless. Until this changes, expect the abuse, shakedowns, and murders of innocent citizens to continue unabated.

“These incidents, the protests that followed and the national debate have clearly had consequences in the way that police officers view their jobs and conduct their jobs on the streets,” said Rich Morin, a senior editor at Pew Research."

Tough shit. Not good enough. Nowhere near. Until these criminal bastards are successfully prosecuted, nothing will change in police-community relations. Nothing at all. Precisely, what Republican 'law and order' nazis desperately want, expect.

"Three Cleveland police officers are facing administrative charges following an internal investigation into the death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who was shot and killed by police while carrying a toy gun in November 2014."

There were no indictments returned against the jackbooted murderers in blue. A lawsuit was settled for $6 million in the case. No admission of wrongdoing. No criminal justice for a kid needlessly murdered by these goddamned jackbooted bastards in blue. Now, the American Way. In a fascist police-state.

Yet another egregious example of improper vetting and training of an officer. CBS News reports:

"Police say a Contra Costa County Sheriff’s deputy was arrested for firing a gun inside a house party in Sacramento."

Couldn't be, could it? An officer couldn't be, wouldn't be that stupid, could he?

"Sacramento Police Department spokesman Matthew McPhail said Sunday 23-year-old Kyle Rowland, of Sacramento, was charged with attempted murder after he allegedly fired a gun Friday after a confrontation with party-goers. No one was injured in the shooting."

What could this guy possibly been thinking? ... Or, is that the problem, -- he wasn't?

"McPhail says Rowland left the party but returned with a gun. Two firearms were recovered from the scene. He says that when police arrived Rowland was being held by several party-goers. A booking photo shows Roland with a bloody right eye."

... Just what beleaguered law enforcement needs, yet another black eye? ... Pun, intended.

"The Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Department said Rowland joined as a deputy in October. Spokesman Jimmy Lee told CBS San Francisco the department is taking the incident seriously and said the employee involved has been fired."

That's good. This piece of shit, as an officer, remained an exigent threat to the public.

Think this isn't already a goddamned de facto police-state? With egregious human rights violations? Wake up. NPR reports:

"More than a hundred female federal inmates, sentenced to long-term prison, have instead been held for years in two windowless rooms in a detention center in Brooklyn. Conditions for the women have been found to violate international standards for the treatment of prisoners."

Won't get any better under the Trump nazi, GOP 'law and order' national socialist fascists in control of Congress.

"The problem in Brooklyn actually started in Connecticut, in what was the only federal prison for women in the Northeast. But the prison population across the country increased nearly 10-fold over the last 40 years, and men's prisons were overflowing. In December 2012, the Bureau of Prisons decided to move the women out of the Danbury prison and move men in."

Most inmates across our formerly great nation are reportedly imprisoned for non-violent drug 'offenses.'

"The women were sent to the Metropolitan Detention Center, a jail in Brooklyn, until a new prison could be built on the site. The move was supposed to last 18 months. But nearly three years later, many are still stuck at MDC. "We felt like we were animals that was taken to a pound and then that was it, they just closed the door and left us," says Ramona Brant, 53. Brant was granted clemency by President Obama in February. Before that, she spent the first 19 years of a life sentence at Danbury for a nonviolent drug charge. She says it was OK — there were activities, jobs, access to the outdoors — until March 2014, when she and the others were moved to the jail."

"A report released by the National Association of Women Judges finds conditions for the women at MDC violate both the American Bar Association's standards and the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for Treatment of Prisoners. The judges said the women had no access to the outdoors and inmates complained of being unable to get appropriate medical care, especially gynecological care. At least one inmate was visibly pregnant. The warden told the judges the Bureau of Prisons couldn't find doctors willing to work there."

"David Patton, executive director of the Federal Defenders of New York, the public defenders' service for people who can't afford a private attorney, says his organization has had issues with the facility for years. "There have been maggots in the food, urine-stained mattresses, dryers that vent into the sleeping area, a lack of fresh air and recreation," Patton says."

An egregious human rights issue. You goddamned Republican fascists here in Nazi Llano County okay with this?

"Unlike Danbury, which is a long-term prison, MDC is a detention center, just meant to hold people while they await trial. "Jails, like the MDCs, tend not to have the programming, the level of medical and mental health treatment and a whole range of other services that you find in a prison," says David Fathi, director of the ACLU's National Prison Project."

This, what you fought for in Vietnam, TL? Deliberate shitting on the United States Constitution, including the Bill of Rights?

The GOP witchhunt on behalf of the Trump nazi is on. Think not? Wake up. The Washington Post reports:

"House Republicans have summoned the head of the independent federal ethics office to answer questions about his agency and his public criticism of President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to separate from his real estate empire."

"A letter sent late Thursday from Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), chairman of the GOP-led House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, was viewed by ethics experts as a veiled threat to the budget of the Office of Government Ethics unless its director changes his rhetoric and approach."

"The letter to Walter Shaub Jr., director of the Office of Government Ethics, asks him to appear before lawmakers in a closed-door, transcribed interview. Shaub is not being subpoenaed, but was asked to respond to questions in a setting much like a deposition, committee staff said."

Where is the transparency? This hearing should be conducted in public. What are Republican national socialists so afraid of? What?

"Chaffetz’s letter was condemned early Friday by Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), the Senate minority leader."

As well it should have been. It's egregiously un-American. Smacks of McCarthyism.

“Mr. Chaffetz’s attempt to intimidate the office is deplorable, and would be a distraction that would make it harder for OGE to do it’s already difficult job,” Schumer said in a prepared statement. “It is totally out of line when Americans want clean and accountable government. Mr. Chaffetz should instead focus on his job and let Mr. Shaub and OGE focus on theirs.”

Indeed. Not what national socialist Republicans want. Rather, carte blanche to do as they please. GOP nazis still don't understand peaceful resistance will be ferocious against their imposition of The Fourth Reich. Determined, deliberate, concerted nazification of this country remains egregiously unacceptable, will not be tolerated.

"Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, has called for a public hearing on Trump’s potential conflicts of interest featuring Schaub. He blasted Chaffetz’s letter Friday."

“The Oversight Committee has not held one hearing, conducted one interview, or obtained one document about [Trump]’s massive global entanglements, yet it is now apparently rushing to launch an investigation of the key government official for warning against the risks caused by [Trump]’s current plans,” Cummings said."

How about that? The Republican Way, isn't it? 'Don't do as I do, do as I say.' The hypocrisy? Reeks. "Drain the swamp?" Give me a break.

“Rather than acting as a cheerleader for Donald Trump and attacking or intimidating his critics, the Committee should do its job under the Constitution and investigate his sprawling business deals around the world.”

They have absolutely no interest in doing that. They want a coronation of the Trump nazi and his henchmen.

"Ethics experts assailed Chaffetz’s letter as a partisan attack on Shaub for doing his job."

Indeed. That's exactly what it is. The public has been bamboozled. ... Right, TL?

"Richard Painter, who served as ethics adviser to former president George W. Bush, called the letter a “clear threat to pull the funding of the Office of Government Ethics” unless the agency follows the wishes of Trump and the Republican leadership."

“They are saying lay off Trump and push through these nominees or we’ll kill the funding of OGE,” Painter said. He and other ethics lawyers from both parties said the agency plays an important role, and killing it or reducing its authority would be a blow to avoiding conflicts of interest in a new administration and enforcing basic standards of ethics and transparency."

The Republican Way, right, TL? Can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit.

"Shaub, appointed by President Obama to a five-year term that has a year to go, gave an extraordinary public admonishment on Wednesday of Trump’s plan to place his businesses in a trust managed by his elder sons. The ethics chief said the plan was “wholly inadequate” to protect the incoming president from conflicts of interest. “Stepping back from running his business is meaningless from a conflict-of-interest perspective,” Shaub said at a forum at the Brookings Institution."

Exactly, right. It is. Precisely, why a truly independent watchdog like Shaub is so necessary, critical to ensuring some semblance of ethics in government. Both major political parties have clearly lost themselves.

"The top Republican and Democrat on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence say they intend to investigate the allegations of Russian meddling in the U.S. elections."

"In a joint statement, Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., chairman of the committee and Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., the vice-chairman, said "we believe that it is critical to have a full understanding of the scope of Russian intelligence activities impacting the United States."

Think anything will come of it? Think it will extend to any possible collusion between the Trump nazi and Putin?

"A review of the intelligence that informed the Intelligence Community Assessment "Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections;

"Counterintelligence concerns related to Russia and the 2016 U.S. election, including any intelligence regarding links between Russia and individuals associated with political campaigns;

"Russian cyber activity and other "active measures" directed against the U.S., both as it regards the 2016 election and more broadly."

"The lawmakers said they'll hold hearings on Russian intelligence activity, but also warned that much of their business will be conducted "behind closed doors because we take seriously our obligation to protect sources and methods." The committee will produce classified and unclassified reports on its findings."

Again, this is an ongoing problem. The lack of transparency. Always attributed to 'security' concerns, methods of intelligence gathering, etc..

"The Committee will follow the intelligence wherever it leads. We will conduct this inquiry expeditiously, and we will get it right. When possible, the Committee will hold open hearings to help inform the public about the issues," they said."

"In separate comments, Burr said the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence already has held 10 hearings on Russia's activity around the world. Warner invoked a more ominous tone, saying, "This issue impacts the foundations of our democratic system, it's that important. ... If it turns out that SSCI cannot properly conduct this investigation, I will support legislation to empower whoever can do it right."

Hard to believe Republican fascists will do the right thing. Not stonewall. We'll see.

Interestingly, there's been a demonstrable rift between Trump and his Cabinet nominations vis a vis policy. ABC News reports:

"The first week of Senate hearings for Donald Trump's Cabinet picks have presented a number of clear divisions between the president-elect's policy positions and those held by his Cabinet selections. Many of Trump's biggest talking points from the campaign trail -- building a wall along the southern U.S. border, a possible ban on Muslims entering the United States, climate change denials and a chummy relationship with Russia -- were discredited or disqualified by Trump's picks during their Senate hearings."

"Trump is publicly supporting these differences of opinion, tweeting this morning that "All of my Cabinet nominee [sic] are looking good and doing a great job. I want them to be themselves and express their own thoughts, not mine!”

"All of my Cabinet nominee are looking good and doing a great job. I want them to be themselves and express their own thoughts, not mine!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 13, 2017"

Truly believe it? The rift in policy positions during their confirmation hearings was more than noticeable. Regarding immigration, Sessions' thoughts were diametrically opposed:

"I have no belief, and I do not support the idea that Muslims, as a religious group, should be denied admission to the United States,” Sessions said. Trump's position on such a plan has evolved over time, but in December 2015 he notably called for a "total and complete” ban on Muslims entering the U.S."

Regarding the border wall, Department of Homeland Security nominee retired Marine Gen. John Kelly testified:

"A physical barrier in and of itself will not do the job,” Kelly said at his Senate confirmation hearing on Tuesday. Trump has said that his "big, beautiful” wall, which was very much a cornerstone of his campaign, would be part of a multi-pronged plan to curb illegal immigration, which Trump tied to job loss and crime."

Regarding climate change, Secretary of State nominee former ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson had his own thoughts:

"Tillerson said that "the risk of climate change does exist," which stands in contrast to Trump, who has called the idea of climate change "a hoax" and previously said it was invented by the Chinese "to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive." More specifically, Tillerson said he would want the U.S. to stay involved in the Paris Agreement on climate change."

"As I indicated, having a seat at the table to address this issue at a global basis and I think it's important, better served by being at that table than leaving that table,” Tillerson said. Trump has said he would "cancel" the Paris Agreement, but after the election told The New York Times that he was reconsidering his stance against the climate accord. "I'm looking at it very closely," Trump said. "I have an open mind to it."

Vis a vis Russia, Ret. Marine Gen. James Mattis, Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense took a far different stance than Trump:

"The most important thing is that we recognize the reality of what we deal with, with Mr. Putin, and we recognize that he is trying to break the North Atlantic alliance,” Mattis said at his hearing Thursday, referring to NATO. Mattis strongly defended NATO, calling it the "most successful military alliance probably in modern world history” even though Trump has repeatedly been negative about the group."

"Mattis said he saw the United States "maintaining the strongest possible relationship" with NATO. "My view is that nations with allies thrive and nations without allies don't," he argued."

Certainly, a far more sober view than Trump's. Don't forget, however, it is the Trump nazi who makes the final policy decision.

"Trump has publicly discussed another difference in stance that he and Mattis have -- Mattis does not support waterboarding -- prior to the hearing, during an interview with The New York Times in late November. "I said, what do you think of waterboarding?" Trump said of his conversation with Mattis. "He said -- I was surprised -- he said, 'I've never found it to be useful.' He said, ‘I've always found, give me a pack of cigarettes and a couple of beers and I do better with that than I do with torture.' And I was very impressed by that answer. I was surprised, because he's known as being like the toughest guy. And when he said that, I'm not saying it changed my mind."

The Trump nazi is a dangerous, unstable, loose cannon. Certainly, won't be confused with the truth. Mattis is not the only one not on board with torture:

"Pompeo, Trump's pick to be the director of the CIA, also veered away from a position Trump took during his campaign. When asked if he would reinstate "the CIA's use of enhanced interrogation techniques that fall outside of the Army Field Manual,” Pompeo said "absolutely not.” Sessions also said that torture is illegal. Trump said during a Republican primary debate that he wants to bring back waterboarding "and I would bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding."

The last statement of the above quote is certainly proof positive Trump is unfit to be President.

Regarding the CIA Director nominee Rep. Mike Pompeo, The Washington Times reports:

"In a break from weeks of friction between President-elect Donald Trump and the Obama administration’s outgoing intelligence community chiefs, Mr. Trump’s nominee to head the CIA said Thursday that intelligence is the “lifeblood” of U.S. national security and “is more in demand than ever.”

This is a problem since the nominee strongly believes in domestic surveillance of the American public.

"In announcing Mr. Pompeo’s nomination in November, Mr. Trump said the congressman “will be a brilliant and unrelenting leader for our intelligence community to ensure the safety of Americans and our allies.”

This nominee may indeed present an exigent threat to all civil and constitutional rights and liberties vis a vis domestic surveillance.

Once again, the Trump nazi has disgraced himself and the Republican Party. NPR reports:

"Donald Trump lashed out at civil rights hero John Lewis on Twitter Saturday morning, a day after the Georgia Democratic congressman said in an interview he didn't view the president-elect as "legitimate" amid questions of Russia's interference in the U.S. elections.

"Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to......
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 14, 2017

"mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results. All talk, talk, talk - no action or results. Sad!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 14, 2017"

This is a civil rights icon Trump has taken a raucous hard dump on. Readers are reminded the Congressman, standing tall for civil rights, endured a savage beating courtesy of the jackbooted bastards in blue half a century ago.

"While Trump has a well-known tendency to take to social media to push back against any slight against him, such a strongly-worded rebuke of Lewis and the criticism of his majority-black district was jarring on the holiday weekend celebrating the birth of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr."

"Lewis was one of the original Freedom Riders and a top lieutenant of King's, helping organize the March on Washington in 1963 and marching with King across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala., in 1965, where his skull was fractured."

The Trump nazi and his henchmen come nowhere near the stature of this truly great man.

"Lewis said during an NBC interview on Friday that he didn't view Trump as a "legitimate president" after reports that Russia had worked to influence the election in Trump's favor and to discredit Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's candidacy. Trump has largely dismissed those reports and questioned the validity of U.S. intelligence findings, frequently praising Russia and its president Vladimir Putin throughout the campaign and the election."

Certainly, makes one wonder whether Trump and his henchmen may have colluded with Putin and the Russians. Or, that the Russians have something on the Trump nazi.

"Lewis also said he wouldn't be attending Trump's inauguration on Friday, making it the first he's missed since he was elected to Congress in 1986. "You cannot be at home with something that you feel that is wrong, is not right," Lewis told "Meet the Press" moderator Chuck Todd."

Indeed. Why so many entertainers have refused to perform at the inauguration.

"Trump also claimed that Lewis's Atlanta-based district was "in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested)."

Clearly, the Trump nazi remains out of control, a sad sack of shit unfit to be President. Pence is no better. Just as delusional. Think not? Wake up. The Washington Times reports:

"Vice President-elect Mike Pence on Monday said it’s time to set aside the “baseless narrative” that President-elect Donald Trump was not legitimately elected because of alleged Russian meddling in last year’s campaign. “This really is the time for us to set aside this narrative that is being pushed by many - this baseless narrative of illegitimacy - and see it for what it is,” Mr. Pence said on “Fox and Friends.” “It is a distraction…just politics as usual, and the American people are tired of it,” he said."

This national socialist piece of shit has his head so far up his ass, his eyeballs have turned inside out. Once again, this GOP nazi ignores reality. Has no mandate. Will receive ferocious, but peaceful resistance every step of the way.

“For someone of John Lewis’s stature to lend credibility to the baseless assertions of those who question the legitimacy of this election is deeply disappointing. I hope he reconsiders it,” Mr. Pence said."

Condescending, patronizing, galling, Aryan arrogant ignorance of reality by a nazi unfit to be Vice President.

Coup de grace? Most revealing example of Republican Aryan arrogance, abject ignorance, closet racism? Fox News reports:

"Democratic U.S. Rep. John Lewis, a civil rights leader who says he doesn't see Donald Trump as a "legitimate president," should be grateful for all that Republican presidents have done for black people, GOP Gov. Paul LePage said Tuesday."

This racist, fascist piece of shit has his head so far up his ass, his eyeballs have indeed turned inside out. Consequently? Can't see, can't think straight.

"LePage, who's white, said on WVOM-FM that the black Democratic Georgia congressman needs a history lesson on how Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves and how Ulysses S. Grant and Rutherford B. Hayes fought against Jim Crow laws, which enforced racial segregation."

Is that right? This piece of shit needs a history lesson himself. Think not? Patience. To become quite clear in a moment, but first:

The Aryan arrogance of this racist nazi is stunning. His abject ignorance, appalling.

"Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and pushed for the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery. But historians say LePage is wrong about Jim Crow laws. Jim Crow laws didn't exist during the Grant administration and an electoral deal that put Hayes in office led to the end of Reconstruction and the removal of federal troops, setting the stage for the creation of Jim Crow laws that followed, said Colby professor Dan Shea."

To the hopelessly Aryan arrogant, achingly national socialist Governor of Maine, why not do the right thing? Figuratively shove your goddamned racism up a bodily orifice seldom seeing the light of day.

Think the Trump nazi fit for office? Does this sound like a man the rational want in the Oval Office? The Washington Times reports:

"Edward Snowden, the man at the heart of the NSA information leaks, is nothing but a “traitor” — and America ought to recreate history in dealing with him, real estate mogul Donald Trump said on a “Fox & Friends” interview. In other words, execute him, Mr. Trump implied. “I think Snowden is a terrible threat, I think he’s a terrible traitor, and you know what we used to do in the good old days when we were a strong country — you know what we used to do to traitors, right?” Trump said, Politico reported."

"Mr. Trump’s response: Well, he is damaging America. “This guy is really doing damage to this country, and he’s also making us look like dopes,” he said, Politico reported. “We can’t allow this guy to go out there and give out all our secrets and also embarrass us at every level. We should get him back and get him back now.”

Once again, the Trump nazi has displayed his Aryan arrogance, to say nothing of his profound ignorance, in all its 'glory.' Snowden is a national hero. A patriot. Courageously exposed the corrupt, abusive, inept national socialist idiots in government for whom and what they are. A public service. Trump's remarks menacingly reflect the thinking of an Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini. Not only disgraced himself, but our formerly great country as well.

The Trump nazi has not gone far enough vis a vis his 'ethics plan' according to experts in the field. NBC News reports:

"Out of all the news from Wednesday -- Trump's comments on Russia, Rex Tillerson's confirmation hearing, the Senate taking its first major step to repeal Obamacare -- the biggest might have been ethics experts saying that President-elect Donald Trump's announced plan to separate himself from his business doesn't go far enough. And as a result, they say, Trump is potentially triggering a constitutional crisis. His plan includes handing over business operations to his sons and placing his assets in a trust, but not a blind one controlled by an independent actor."

Trump believes he's a law unto himself. Doesn't seem to understand the Constitution provides for no monarch, no uncontrolled dictator, certainly not a President not subject to the checks and balances of the Legislative and Judicial branches of government.

"The problems with Trump's plan? "Foreigners and others will continue to be able to ingratiate themselves by doing business with Trump organizations, which enriches Trump," Kathleen Clark, a law professor at Washington University specializing in ethics, told NBC's Benjy Sarlin. "It's really quite simple."

"Stepping back from running his business is meaningless from a conflict of interest perspective. The presidency is a full-time job and he would've had to step back anyway," said Walter Shaub, director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics. "The idea of setting up a trust to hold his operating businesses adds nothing to the equation. This is not a blind trust -- it's not even close."

The Trump nazi ludicrously believes he has the ability to run the country as well as his businesses. Says he has the constitutional authority to do so, but doesn't want to do so due to image issues. No more than a crock of shit.

"He has all of the conflicts of interest that he had before," Richard Painter, the chief ethics lawyer in the George W. Bush administration, told Forbes. "We don't know who his business partners are, we don't know who he owes."

Be design. We haven't seen his tax returns due to his refusal to disclose them. What's the fascist piece of shit so afraid of? The truth?

"The president-elect's disregard for ethics and precedent and the Constitution in his press conference today is going to precipitate an ethics and a constitutional crisis from the day he's sworn in," Norm Eisen, who served as President Obama's ethics lawyer said on MSNBC."

Tillerson has no conception of the First Amendment. Couldn't have possibly even read it. CBS News reports:

"Secretary of State nominee Rex Tillerson did not rule out the idea of a U.S. registry for Muslims when he was asked about it his confirmation hearing Wednesday. Asked by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., if he would support a U.S. registry for Muslims, Tillerson told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, “I would need to have a lot more information over how such an approach would be constructed.”

Say what? This nominee presents an exigent threat to all civil and constitutional rights and liberties. Clearly, places political expediency ahead of civil and constitutional rights and liberties.

"But Tillerson also added that if such a registry were used as a tool for vetting, it would probably extend to other groups."

Say what? Thanks for the warning, you fascist son of a bitch. Thanks also for proof positive you remain egregiously unfit for office in a democratic republic.

"Sen. Cory Booker, D-New Jersey, later pressed Tillerson on the registry again and Tillerson said, “I do not support targeting any particular group,” but he still seemed to leave the door open to some sort of database used for vetting people."

This piece of shit about to take office clearly does not understand this is supposed to be a democratic republic, not a goddamned fascist police-state.

"Shaheen also asked Tillerson to share his view on President-elect Donald Trump’s original proposal to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. “No, I do not support a blanket-type rejection of any particular group of people,” he said."

An amazing contradiction. The hypocrisy reeks. Clearly, this oligarch is speaking out both sides his nazi ass.

"Donald Trump's pick for secretary of state boasts investments in Chinese and Russian firms among his almost $500 million in total assets, documents show. NBC News obtained a copy of Rex Tillerson's Public Financial Disclosure Report that was submitted as part of the vetting process for the ExxonMobil CEO and chairman's nomination to the role."

Think this national socialist oligarch isn't bought and paid for by the Russians, Chinese, etc.? Truly believe not? That gullible?

The Trump nazi has again demonstrated his unfitness for office, his egregious inability to withstand any criticism. CBS News reports:

"His inauguration days away, President-elect Trump is continuing to lash out at critics in the intelligence community. In Sunday night tweets, the tough-talking Republican questioned whether the CIA director himself was “the leaker of fake news.”

"The extraordinary criticism from the incoming president came hours after outgoing CIA chief John Brennan charged that Mr. Trump lacks a full understanding of the threat Moscow poses to the United States, delivering a public lecture to the president-elect that further highlighted the bitter state of Mr. Trump’s relations with American intelligence agencies."

Can't have that, can we? The Trump nazi cannot handle criticism. Want his finger on the nuclear button? Someone as delusional, unstable, narcissistic as this Republican nazi?

“Now that he’s going to have an opportunity to do something for our national security as opposed to talking and tweeting, he’s going to have tremendous responsibility to make sure that U.S. and national security interests are protected,” Brennan said on “Fox News Sunday,” warning that the president-elect’s impulsivity could be dangerous."

"Mr. Trump’s sustained criticism of the intelligence community is dangerous for more than just morale at the CIA or the FBI, Brennan said: It sends a message to other countries. “The world is watching now what Trump says and listening very carefully,” he said. “If he doesn’t have confidence in the intelligence community, what signal does that send to our partners and allies as well as our adversaries?”

Indeed. This is precisely what makes the Trump nazi so dangerous. Worse? An exigent threat to all civil and constitutional rights and liberties.

"Donald Trump's accusation that NATO is "obsolete" has led to "astonishment and agitation" within the alliance, Germany's foreign minister has said.
Speaking in Brussels before a meeting of EU foreign ministers, Frank-Walter Steinmeier suggested the alliance was rattled by the remarks by Trump."

As well, they should be. The Trump nazi remains egregiously unstable, unpredictable, viciously volatile.

"In a joint interview with the Times of London and the German publication Bild, Trump signaled that US foreign policy in a range of areas could be turned on its head. He suggested that sanctions imposed after Russia's annexation of Crimea could be eased in return for a deal to reduce nuclear weapons, that German Chancellor Angela Merkel had pursued "catastrophic" policies on refugees, and that his son-in-law Jared Kushner could lead a Middle East peace effort."

This nazi piece of shit is delusional. Achingly reminiscent of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini. Has nothing to offer the Palestinians, -- other than an Israeli jackboot.

The Trump nazi continues to unethically use his political position to support businesses that financially supported his campaign. NPR reports:

"President-elect Donald Trump took to Twitter again Thursday morning, this time to urge his followers to "Buy L.L.Bean," and support one of his campaign backers.

"Thank you to Linda Bean of L.L.Bean for your great support and courage," he tweeted Thursday. "People will support you even more now. Buy L.L.Bean."

"Thank you to Linda Bean of L.L.Bean for your great support and courage. People will support you even more now. Buy L.L.Bean. @LBPerfectMaine
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 12, 2017"

The hypocrisy, extreme disingenuousness, aching deception of the Trump nazi reins supreme. NPR reports:

"President-elect Trump told a press conference Wednesday that he would step back from running his company to prevent possible conflicts of interest once he's in office. To help prove it, he said he had just rejected a $2 billion deal to develop a golf course in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, adding that he wasn't required to do so because he isn't bound by any conflict-of-interest laws once he's president. The statement was intended to show Trump was trying to avoid a conflict of interest. In fact, he already has two golf courses in the works in Dubai."

This is precisely why a vibrant, aggressive, take-no-prisoners press is so vital to freedom, a democratic republic.

"The website at the Office of Government Ethics went down Friday afternoon, apparently overwhelmed with traffic, as the agency and its director found themselves at the heart of a growing political fight. Walter Shaub Jr. is the director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, which has tweeted about President-elect Donald Trump's potential conflicts of interest — and ethics. OGE website administrator Michael Hanson told NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben the site failure came as a result of the usually sleepy office's website receiving 1 million visitors in just the last three days. Normally, it gets about 300,000 — in an entire year."

This is a healthy sign resistance to the Trump nazi will be ferocious. Must remain peaceful.

"There's a reason the website's traffic has spiked. The office's director, Walter Shaub Jr., has been conducting an unusually public discussion about ethics with the president-elect and the people he has chosen for his Cabinet. Just Friday afternoon, OGE sent out a tweet that seemed aimed directly at the president-elect.

"All executive branch employees must refrain from misuse of position, including endorsements. See Dir Shaub's note at https://t.co/kRLCLFeVlB
— U.S. OGE (@OfficeGovEthics) January 13, 2017"

"Although the office didn't respond to a question about why the tweet was sent out when it was, it came a day after Trump tweeted praise of a business and encouraged people to shop there.

Dr. Ben Carson is egregiously unfit for office. Think not? Wake up. ABC News reports:

"Dr. Ben Carson today declined to say directly whether he can assure Americans that the Trump family would not benefit in any way from HUD incentives if he is confirmed as secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development."

“It will not be my intention to do anything to benefit any American particularly,” he said in response to pointed questioning from Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., a member of the Senate committee holding his confirmation hearing today. “It’s for all Americans, everything that we do.”

Unadulterated bullshit. An egregious failure to responsively answer the question.

"Warren responded, “I understand that. Do I take that to mean that you may manage programs that will significantly benefit the president-elect?“ referring to Donald Trump’s vast real estate holdings, which include a minor stake in a sprawling affordable housing development in Brooklyn, New York."

“You can take it to mean that I will manage things that will benefit the American people. That is going to be the goal,” Carson said."

Unbridled Aryan arrogance displayed by this goddamned clueless national socialist. An egregious failure to responsively answer her question.

"When pressed by progressive firebrand Elizabeth Warren, the Democratic senator from Massachusetts, over where Carson stands on the issue, Carson responded: “I can assure you that the things that I do are driven by a sense of morals and values and therefore I will absolutely not play favorites for anyone.”

"Warren attempted to pin down a more specific promise from Carson, saying “my concern is whether or not -- among the billions of dollars you will be responsible for handing out in grants and loans -- can you just assure us that not one dollar will go to benefit either the president-elect or his family?” “It will not be my intention to do anything to benefit any - any American… it’s for all Americans, everything that we do,” Carson said to the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs committee."

Truly believe that? The cagey son of a bitch refused to directly answer her pointed questions.

“Do I take that to mean that you may manage programs that will significantly benefit the president-elect?” Warren asked. The neurosurgeon’s response: “You can take it to mean that I will manage things to benefit the American people.”

This unresponsive cagey bastard is unfit, egregiously unqualified for office.

"Ben Carson, the nominee to run the Housing and Urban Development Department, told a Senate panel Thursday that he wanted to create a “world-class housing plan” — whatever the cost."

"Mr. Carson, a retired neurosurgeon and former presidential candidate, has been critical in the past of HUD’s programs and called for cutting all federal assistance programs by 10 percent, prompting questions about his advocacy for the agency budget at his confirmation hearing."

The hypocrisy of this national socialist reeks. He talks out both sides his ass. ... Like his master, the Trump nazi.

“Not only do I want to advocate for the HUD budget but — in the process of doing a listening tour and talking to the people who are there already — I want to put together a world-class plan on housing in this country,” he said."

“I want to come to you with that world-class plan and I want to convince you all that this is what we need to do,” he said. “I do not know what that [budget] number is going to be quite frankly, it might be more. It might be less. But it will be what is required to accomplish what we need to do.”

He has no clue how much all this will cost, yet wants to convince you it's what's needed? Sounds like a non-sequitor, doesn't it? While it might not upset Democrats, doesn't rattle the cages of you Aryan arrogant, hopelessly haughty, self-righteous Llano County GOP fascists?

In another Washington Times article, Ben Carson displays his anti-LGBT Nazi Right views:

"Ben Carson pushed back Thursday against being labeled anti-gay and anti-affirmative action at a confirmation hearing on his nomination to run the Department of Housing and Urban Development, saying he believed in equal rights not “extra rights.”

This is the two-faced non-sequitor ubiquitously embraced by the 'Religious' Nazi Right. No minority has ever sought “extra rights.” Not blacks, latinos, the LGBT community, etc.. The Nazi Right is certainly well aware of this fact. They use the qualifier to 'justify' continued discrimination against all groups they shamelessly target. It's called haughtily, hypocritically talking out both sides the ass. To have their cake and eat it. It's, indeed, shameless bullshit. Clueless, double talk.

"Sen. Sherrod Brown, the top Democrat on the committee, pressed Mr. Caron on whether he would protect the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in public housing."

Did the Senator truly expect an honest, forthright answer from this goddamned national socialist?

“Of course, I would enforce all the laws of the land. Of course, I think all Americans should be protected by the law,” Mr. Carson said. “What I have said before is I don’t think anyone should get ‘extra rights.’” That has been a common refrain from the conservative Christian which has drawn fire in the past from LGBT activists."

Carson may have been a great surgeon. As a Cabinet member, however, heading an agency he egregiously has no clue about, remains grossly unqualified and unfit for office.

“That act says that we want people who are receiving HUD grants to look around and see if they find anything that looks like discrimination and then we want them to come up with a solution,” Mr. Carson said. “They’re saying go and look for a problem and give us a solution. “We have people sitting around desks in Washington, D.C., deciding on how things should be done,” he said. “I don’t have any problem with affirmative action or integration, I have no problem with that at all. But I do have a problem with people on high dictating it when they have no idea what’s going on in an area.”

Aren't you talking precisely about yourself in the last quote, sir? Isn't that exactly what you're doing during confirmation testimony? Disingenuously, ludicrously feigning knowledge about an issue, a nation-wide problem you have absolutely no experience with? That is, pontificating about something you have absolutely no knowledge of?

Sadly, you have no clue about housing. No comprehension at all. When was the last time you were homeless, you haughty, achingly uninformed, Aryan arrogant son of a bitch? When was the last time you couldn't make a rent payment? Under threat of eviction? Coup de grace? Get this:

"The biggest issue in his confirmation is his complete lack of government experience, but committee members appeared satisfied with the abilities of the world-famous pediatric brain surgeon from Johns Hopkins Hospital."

That's insanity. Patronizing, condescending bullshit. What are they so afraid of? Being labeled a racist because they're criticizing someone who hasn't a clue about the office he's about to take and happens to be black? Give me a break. Wake up.

The Trump nazi continues to make false promises. The Washington Post reports:

"President-elect Donald Trump said in a weekend interview that he is nearing completion of a plan to replace President Obama’s signature health-care law with the goal of “insurance for everybody,” while also vowing to force drug companies to negotiate directly with the government on prices in Medicare and Medicaid."

What plan? Where are the details? Other than a single payer system, there is no viable alternative to Obamacare. None at all. The insurance cartel, as middleman, has egregiously driven up the cost of care. Conveniently, forget? The cartel has to generate enormous profits and cash reserves for the corporate management suite as well as shareholders. This expense gets added to hopelessly greedy out of control providers who also cannot ever get enough.

"Trump declined to reveal specifics in the telephone interview late Saturday with The Washington Post, but any proposals from the incoming president would almost certainly dominate the Republican effort to overhaul federal health policy as he prepares to work with his party’s congressional majorities."

Again, where are the details? How will he rein in bottomless provider greed, which along with making it compulsory through tax penalties, has led to its pending failure, ultimate demise of its own weight?

"Trump’s plan is likely to face questions from the right, after years of GOP opposition to further expansion of government involvement in the health-care system, and from those on the left, who see his ideas as disruptive to changes brought by the Affordable Care Act that have extended coverage to tens of millions of Americans."

If there is no viable replacement upon repeal, egregiously national socialist Republicans will not be returned to office.

Sen. Ted "Screws Loose" Cruz is at it again. An ignorant shill of the Trump nazi. Get this. In his recent newsletter, this insane national socialist opines:

"In Texas, we understand the principle of freedom, empowering every Texan to pursue their dreams. Our Great State was built on a frontier mentality. What Texas has demonstrated so powerfully is that when you get government off the backs of small businesses, and reduce the tax and regulatory burden, opportunity flourishes. It is my hope that together we can bring this Texas mentality and success to our nation’s capital."

What a crock of shit from a shameless GOP fascist unqualified to be dog catcher. He has no clue what liberty is. Certainly, does not believe a woman owns her uterus, has a right to do with it as she damn well pleases. Certainly not a goddamned Republican nazi and his henchmen who haughtily dictate by law what she can and cannot do with it. The only 'liberty' left is now reserved for the top 1% who run and own it all. Are a law unto themselves. ... Right, Senator?

"It is an honor to represent each and every one of you and the Great State of Texas in the newly formed 115th Congress. I look forward to leading the fight to honor the promises Congress has made to Texans and all Americans."

What promise is that, Senator? Imposition of The Fourth Reich? You don't represent me, you shameless nazi son of a bitch.

Trump's hypocrisy is clearly shown by those he's chosen to lead prayer at his inauguration. NPR reports:

"The six faith leaders President-elect Donald Trump has invited to pray at his inauguration come from diverse backgrounds, but they have something in common: All have personal ties to Trump or his family or have in some way signaled their approval of him, his politics or his wealth."

Readers are reminded the Head Honcho of Trump's religion rode a jackass when he wasn't walking. Dealt with the dregs of society of his time. Despised haughty authority, roundly criticizing the Pharisees and Saducees. Did not hang out with the rich. In fact, cracked the whip, and turned over the tables of business people conducting trade in his Father's house. Wake up. The Trump nazi is a goddamned fraud. A charlatan.

Interestingly, Trump nazi poll numbers are pitiful. Breaks your heart, doesn't it? Think they're accurate? CNN reports:

"Donald Trump will become president Friday with an approval rating of just 40%, according to a new CNN/ORC Poll, the lowest of any recent president and 44 points below that of President Barack Obama, the 44th president."

Certainly, not hard to believe. Especially, since he's received stiff resistance since the election.

"Following a tumultuous transition period, approval ratings for Trump's handling of the transition are more than 20 points below those for any of his three most recent predecessors. Obama took the oath in 2009 with an 84% approval rating, 67% approved of Clinton's transition as of late December 1992 and 61% approved of George W. Bush's transition just before he took office in January 2001."

Hard to believe his polling won't continue to slide as he and his henchmen continue to nazify the country, -- sadly, after the inauguration of our first nazi 'President.'

"Trump's wobbly handling of the presidential transition has left most Americans with growing doubts that the President-elect will be able to handle the job. About 53% say Trump's statements and actions since Election Day have made them less confident in his ability to handle the presidency, and the public is split evenly on whether Trump will be a good or poor president (48% on each side)."

Hard to believe the natives won't get increasingly restless as Trump and his henchmen do all they can to impose The Fourth Reich. Certainly, won't be clear sledding for this fascist as the public continues to mobilize, exert ferocious but peaceful resistance against this national socialist piece of shit. Trump's reaction to the polling? Just what was to be expected:

"The President-elect dismissed the poll findings on Twitter: "The same people who did the phony election polls, and were so wrong, are now doing approval rating polls. They are rigged just like before."

"The same people who did the phony election polls, and were so wrong, are now doing approval rating polls. They are rigged just like before.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 17, 2017"

Talk is cheap. Rhetoric, meaningless. As the country deteriorates under his regime, talk, excuse making will do nothing to soften ferocious, but peaceful resistance. This nazi, his henchmen, his achingly clueless supporters will indeed receive quite a rude awakening.

... Trump's approval ratings as poor as they are, look terribly good compared to Congress, -- 14%.

Another appalling, unfit Trump nominee disgraced herself during confirmation hearings. NPR reports:

"The education philosophy of Betsy DeVos boils down to one word: choice. The billionaire has used her money to support the expansion of public charter schools and private school vouchers. For more than three hours on Tuesday, President-elect Donald Trump's pick to run the Education Department handled tough questions on school choice, charters and the future of the nation's schools from the Senate committee that handles education."

The problem is she didn't "handle" them. Was grossly unprepared. Refused to directly answer. This nominee has absolutely no understanding of The First Amendment Establishment Clause, that is, church-state separation, freedom from religion. Believes in vouchers. Why should taxpayers be unconstitutionally looted to send a kid, for example, to a Right Wing evangelical school that teaches its brand of religious fascism?

The LGBT community is taking preventative action prior to the Trump nazi inauguration. NPR reports:

"Many transgender people in the U.S. are rushing to change their designated gender on government documents before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. They worry the next administration may take that ability away."

"There's no indication so far that this is a priority for Trump. Mara Keisling with the National Center for Transgender Equality says Trump's positions on trans issues are not clear. But she's concerned about people he's nominated for key positions in his administration."

Likely, just about a matter of time before this happens. GOP nazis would certainly cheer this atrocity on. Raising the question, who's next?

"Virtually every — if not every — appointment he has announced so far has been an extremely anti-LGBT person," says Keisling. She says trans advocacy groups around the country have been fielding calls from concerned people ever since the election. And they are not alone."

Indeed, the Trump nazi and his henchmen remain an exigent threat to all civil and constitutional rights and liberties.

The healthcare community continues to remain hard at work eviscerating privacy. NPR reports:

"Computerized medical records are hardly new. Pioneers at one of the nation's first HMOs, Kaiser Permanente, were using electronic medical records as far back as the 1970s and saw them as a big part of the future of medicine."

Unfortunately, the price is the loss of all privacy. This data is not, cannot be adequately protected against hackers, government goons on fishing expeditions with or without a warrant, or being sold by the corporate management suite.

"The part of it that they didn't envision that we're envisioning now, is how proactive a role patients would be taking," says Dr. Tracy Lieu, who heads Kaiser's research division in Oakland, Calif."

'Patient' for what? The term itself is achingly condescending, patronizing. Indeed, a relic of the past when doctors thought they were gods.

"Medical records don't simply store facts about an individual's health. There's a big potential for a database of medical records to be mined to help shape an individual's treatment."

This is also what makes electronic records so dangerously susceptible to getting into the wrong hands, being used against a healthcare consumer by a prospective employer, etc..

"The records also include information about patients' feelings and emotional states based on a nine-question survey that patients routinely fill out. (Individuals are not identified in the database.)"

Think this information won't find its way into the hands of prospective employers? Think it's any of the provider's goddamned business, regardless? Think this isn't a pernicious step into the world of 1984, A Brave New World, etc.? You're being duped. Dopes duped.

Another egregious abrogation of the right to abortion. The Washington Post reports:

"A Tennessee woman is seeking $1.5 million from law enforcement officials in a federal lawsuit that claims she was denied access to abortion while incarcerated in a county jail."

Sue the living shit out of the bastards. Being incarcerated does not give authorities the right to abrogate all civil and constitutional rights and liberties.

"Kei’choura Cathey found out she was pregnant in August 2015, about two weeks after she was arrested in Maury County, about 50 miles outside of Nashville. According to a complaint filed in a Tennessee federal court in late December, Maury County Sheriff Bucky Rowland told Cathey that his department would not pay to transport her to a clinic unless the abortion is medically necessary or the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest."

This piece of law enforcement human excrement does not get to make this judgment.

"Through her attorney, Cathey, who was arrested on robbery and murder conspiracy charges, sought to lower her bond. But by the time she was able to pay her bond in January 2016, she was more than halfway into her pregnancy, the complaint said. Abortion past the second trimester is illegal. Cathey ended up giving birth in April."

Authorities need to be forced to pay for the care of her child up to the age of majority.

"The lawsuit claims that denying Cathey’s request inflicted cruel and unusual punishment on her — a violation of the Eighth Amendment. It also alleges violation of Cathey’s right to choose to get an abortion protected under the 14th Amendment. Rowland, the sheriff’s department and Maury County, which are all named as defendants, showed “deliberate indifference to a serious medical need” by failing to establish policies regarding inmates’ access to abortion, the complaint said."

The only thing the nazi bastards understand is money. Legally, loot the living shit out of them.

"A Chinese factory has been doing a brisk business selling giant inflatable roosters, some as tall as 16 feet, based on a design widely perceived in China to resemble President-elect Donald Trump."

Don't you love it? More than fitting, certainly highly appropriate for the nazi blow hard, isn't it? After all, he is a prick.

"Yifang Inflatables, a factory in the city of Jiaxing, near Shanghai, began selling the inflatables after images of a large sculpture of a similar design outside a shopping center in the northern city of Taiyuan went viral on social media last month."

"Wells Fargo offers its customers the ability to personalize their credit and debit cards with images “that reflect what’s important to you.” A family photo, a picture of your pet, your kid’s artwork — “the choice is yours,” the banking giant advertises on its website. So Rachel Nash, a Baltimore city schoolteacher, tried, as the company advises, to “make a statement with an image.” She designed a sleek custom bank card featuring a raised fist and three words — “Black Lives Matter.”

Can't have that, can we? Certainly, not in what amounts to a goddamned de facto fascist police-state owned by its corporate masters. ... Right, Amanda? Gets worse:

"Two days after she submitted her image online, Nash received an email Thursday morning informing her that her design did not meet the company’s guidelines. Nash called customer service to find out why. She recalled the response: “As soon as I said 'Black Lives Matter,' [the customer service agent] said, 'Oh, that's why it got rejected.' She said Wells Fargo 'didn’t want to be associated with any antisocial or offensive organizations.' "

Couldn't the same be said of Wells Fargo? The hypocrisy of the criminal nazi bastards at Wells Fargo reeks. Offensive to whom? The criminal, bought and paid for, jackbooted bastards in blue? Their corporate masters at Wells Fargo? Who deliberately engage in criminal deceptive trade practices. ... Right, Amanda?

This goddamned bank is itself an "antisocial or offensive organization" that engages in criminal deceptive trade practices. ... Right, Amanda?

Once in awhile, there is some justice for the Wells Fargo corporate management suite. ABC News reports:

"Wells Fargo said Friday its profit fell 5 percent in the first full quarter after regulators said that bank employees opened millions of customer accounts fraudulently to meet sales goals. The scandal has kept new customers away, with the bank reporting that new account openings plummeted last month."

The question to be asked is why are Wells Fargo corporate officials unprosecuted to date? Why have they been protected, coddled? ... Right, Amanda?

"WikiLeaks wants to start building a list of verified Twitter users that would include highly sensitive and personal information about their families, their finances and their housing situations."

“We are thinking of making an online database with all 'verified' twitter accounts & their family/job/financial/housing relationships,” WikiLeaks tweeted Friday."

"The disclosure organization, run by Julian Assange, says the information would be used for an artificial-intelligence program. But Twitter users immediately fired back, saying WikiLeaks would use the list to take political vengeance against those who criticize it."

"But the proposal faced a sharp and swift backlash as technologists, journalists and security researchers slammed the idea as a “sinister” and dangerous abuse of power and privacy. “This is a good plan. If you're Darth Vader,” Matthew Green, a professor who teaches cryptography at Johns Hopkins University, tweeted."

"In one of his last moves as president, Obama has commuted the 35-year prison sentence of Chelsea Manning, the army private who leaked a massive trove of military secrets to WikiLeaks."

An heroic whistle blower who exposed corruption in government, paid a steep price for her courage in exposing this government for whom and what it is.

"The former intelligence analyst's prison sentence has been shortened to expire on May 17, 2017, according to a statement from the White House. Manning, a transgender woman formerly known as Bradley, has requested clemency from Obama and said her life was at risk in an all-male prison, as we reported. She has admitted to "releasing more than 700,000 documents, including battlefield reports and U.S. embassy cables."

Most of this should never have been classified in the first place. The lack of transparency of this outrageously corrupt and abusive government is to protect the sorry asses of those running the show. "National 'security'" is a convenient excuse and ruse to hide government malfeasance.

"Her lawyers at the ACLU expressed relief after the decision, saying that Manning has already served more time behind bars than any other whistleblower in U.S. history, and under difficult conditions."

This is what happens to anyone willing to courageously expose this goddamned government for what it is.

"Since she was first taken into custody, Chelsea has been subjected to long stretches of solitary confinement — including for attempting suicide — and has been denied access to medically necessary health care," said lawyer Chase Strangio in a statement. "This move could quite literally save Chelsea's life, and we are all better off knowing that Chelsea Manning will walk out of prison a free woman, dedicated to making the world a better place and fighting for justice for so many."

"Amnesty International USA's executive director Margaret Huang argued in a statement that the move is long overdue:

"Chelsea Manning exposed serious abuses, and as a result her own human rights have been violated by the U.S. government for years. ... President Obama was right to commute her sentence, but it is long overdue. It is unconscionable that she languished in prison for years while those allegedly implicated by the information she revealed still haven't been brought to justice."

This is what happens by design in a goddamned fascist police-state. All remains ass backwards. Day is night, night is day, and shit smells sweet in the perverse world of those in power. Bottom line? The bastards, she exposed, responsible for committing atrocities during the war went unprosecuted.

"House Speaker Paul Ryan has released a statement protesting the commutation:

"This is just outrageous. Chelsea Manning's treachery put American lives at risk and exposed some of our nation's most sensitive secrets. President Obama now leaves in place a dangerous precedent that those who compromise our national security won't be held accountable for their crimes."

Mr. Speaker? You mean people just like you, sir? Your national socialist Republican colleagues? Your hypocrisy remains profound, self-serving, oblivious to just how unjust things have grown in the goddamned fascist police-state we now live in. Ever occur to you this is precisely one of the reasons why Congressional approval stands at 14%? Now that you GOP national socialist fascists enjoy the majority in both houses of Congress, you bastards own the blame.

Manning is a whistle blower who performed a public service. Pulled the curtain away and exposed this government for what it is. You took an oath, sir, to protect and defend the United States Constitution. Your statement above demonstrates you have no understanding, no appreciation of what the Constitution including the Bill of Rights represents, guaranties.

You and other national socialist fascist bastards like you have disgraced yourselves. Remain an exigent threat to all civil and constitutional rights and liberties. Are so haughtily impressed with your perverse ideological and religious views, you cannot hear the rumble. That of an unwanted dreaded second American revolution already catastrophically looming on the horizon.

Your support now of the Trump nazi, after rightfully earlier excoriating him during the campaign, is proof positive of two things. First, you place political expediency ahead of principle and what's best for the country. Second, you are nothing more than a goddamned coward, a disgrace egregiously unworthy of being in Congress.

Sadly, the President didn't go far enough. Should have pardoned Manning. Thanked her for her courageous public service. Apologized to her for the actions of his government from unjust prosecution right up to and including circumstances of her imprisonment. ... To you outraged Republican nazis here in Llano County, don't like the message? Leave the country. Putin's Russia might be far more appealing to you fascists. ... Just forfeit your citizenship and millions before you leave. Money, you've shamelessly looted from the bottom of the food chain and middle class. To line your pockets.

A nazi bought and paid for 'judge' in a nazi secret FISA 'court' has given NSA authority to resume bulk collection of phone data.

"The National Security Agency may have been ordered out of the phone records business, but a secret court has said it can go ahead anyway. In a decision published Tuesday (PDF), the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, known as the FISA court, ruled Monday night that the NSA can resume bulk phone data collection for at least five more months."

"That means the NSA can resume collecting the records for the remaining five months of the transition period — unless another court steps in. "Neither the statute nor the Constitution permits the government to subject millions of innocent people to this kind of intrusive surveillance," Jameel Jaffer, deputy legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union, said in a statement. "We intend to ask the court to prohibit the surveillance and to order the NSA to purge the records it's already collected."

Clearly, the United States Government itself poses the greatest threat, an exigent threat, to all civil and constitutional rights and liberties. Will certainly worsen under the Trump nazi and his henchmen. Precisely, why resistance must be ferocious but peaceful.

"And Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, a member of the Intelligence Committee, slammed the FISA court, saying in a statement: "I see no reason for the Executive Branch to restart bulk collection, even for a few months. This illegal dragnet surveillance violated Americans' rights for fourteen years without making our country any safer."

Why aren't the criminal bastards in the banking industry prosecuted for their crimes? The Washington Post reports:

"JPMorgan Chase said Wednesday that it had agreed to settle a federal lawsuit accusing the bank of working with mortgage brokers who discriminated against minority borrowers for years by charging them $1,000 more than white customers."

"The case was settled for $55 million, according to a person familiar with the settlement who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the details are not yet public."

The following email has been sent nearly daily to a woman at 2freehosting.com who was responsible for caving into Wells Fargo. This email is re-edited occasionally as circumstances change. Should you bank with Wells Fargo you may wish to ask them why they engage in deceptive trade practices and if in fact they indeed bribed Texas Gov. Greg Abbott while he was Texas Attorney General to ignore a complaint filed against them:

The exact same messaging, other than IP addresses, is the same on the wink
and t15 FTP servers. This hacking attack apparently occurred the day
after Wells Fargo closed two accounts because I publicly accused them of
criminal activity. Your company needs to look into this matter. Get these
FTP servers up and running again. A criminal complaint will be filed with
the U.S. Attorney regarding all the ongoing criminal activity by Wells
Fargo, now extended to hacking and undue interference with the webhosts.
Has 2freehosting been bribed and/or pressured by Wells Fargo? Certainly,
one of numerous questions to be forwarded to criminal prosecutors.

Welcome. Liberty In Peril has been relaunched at a new URL:
libertyinperil.com. This is a new commercial site hosted in an overseas
country, which unlike our own, does value free speech, Net security,
privacy, equally importantly, despises hackers. Banks too big to fail
should not have the ability to shut down ftp servers on four Liberty In
Peril websites, making upload impossible. -- Simply, because they don't
want the truth of their criminal activity reported to the public.

Should this site not be kept up, running, and fully operational, the
libertyinperil.com domain will be quickly moved to a different host
despite cost and hassle. No more bullsh-t. Criminal complaints will be
prepared and filed against Amanda Wright, Lynn Massey, and the equally
criminal bastards in the Wells Fargo corporate management suite for
egregious deceptive trade practices.

Email notification of local businesses of these practices, has and will,
continue unabated until Wells Fargo accepts responsibility, ceases these
practices, and finally makes it right. During the last several weeks
after the ftp servers were hacked, a blizzard of these emails was sent to
local businesses to keep intense pressure on the criminal bastards at
Wells Fargo. Copies of these emails were sent to bank officials. They
have been posted in this publication. ... We're already up to Salvo 74, --
and counting.

In addition, all new Newsletter Editions will feature an
available abbreviated version, smart phone friendly, that can be accessed
by clicking on the icon. Will supplement the regular format of this
publication. This is being done because so many of you access this
publication with smart phones and other devices with small screens.

This site has finally been fully uploaded. All links appear to be
properly working. Typos in the rush to get material up have also been
corrected. There will be a few additional changes to be made as time
allows. Including, again, a smart phone-friendly abbreviated version of
each future Newsletter Edition starting with v434 that will be available
in addition to the regular edition.

Hopefully, now, I can finally get back to the business of this
publication, that is exposure of corrupt, abusive, inept, clueless
government lackeys beholden to their corporate masters, rather than
dealing with recalcitrant webhosts. We'll see. With the
libertyinperil.com domain, however, any necessary changes in webhosts will
be easy to make since all links won't have to be changed or deactivated.

The pressure on Wells Fargo will continue unabated. Should they further
interfere with operation of this publication, it will simply provide
additional fodder for criminal complaints to be filed against them.

On 9-22-15, Kingsland Wells Fargo Store Manager Amanda Wright forced
closure of two accounts because for nearly three years this writer has
publicly accused her, her predecessor Lynn Massey, and the Wells Fargo
corporate management suite of engaging in criminal deceptive trade
practices, as well as pressuring, unduly interfering and/or bribing
webhosts to take these websites down.

Apparently, they have successfully managed to unduly influence and/or
bribe the federal Consumer Financial 'Protection' Bureau and Texas
Attorney General Consumer Protection Division as well. Forget? The bank
is considered too big to fail. Considers itself government.

For all practical purposes, that's perversely true. They have money and
resources to buy not only their human chattel, but their bought and paid
for government lackeys. Be interesting to see whether or not the U.S.
Attorney is untouchable, or sadly, similarly capable of being bought.

Immediately after closure of these accounts, the three operational Liberty
In Peril FTP servers were hacked. What that means is that while all three
sites remained operational and accessible to readers, new material could
not be uploaded. This continues to date.

Worse, 'free' accounts on all three 'free' webhosts conveniently no longer
provide technical control panel support. Clearly, they don't want to know
there are problems. Have managed, however, to find other ways to contact
webhost management and have done precisely that.

Will take a criminal investigation to determine who hacked the sites,
however. Most likely, Wells Fargo had a hand in it. Certainly, have the
resources. Highly, unlikely the Llano County Sheriff's Office was
involved. Hard to believe they would be that stupid. The Bank, however,
has nothing to lose. Owns its government lackeys. The Sheriff and his
outrageously corrupt and abusive goons, however, can expect further
exposure in this publication. Should you have information regarding this
or any other issue, contact me. I will protect your identity.

The effort to expose Wells Fargo egregious deceptive trade practices continues. Several years ago to determinedly apply renewed pressure on our truly worthless, egregiously self-serving Texas Attorney General, now Governor, an excoriating email was sent to the bastard. Copies of which were also passed on to both offending Wells Fargo officers. A copy was also sent to the Davis campaign and others at the time.

Voters did have a right to know as Attorney General, the GOP candidate for Governor apparently selectively investigated, or not, bona fide complaints filed by citizens against banks too big to fail. Possibly, Wells Fargo could have lined his pockets in some fashion. That has yet to be determined.

The bastard and his office, no matter what, failed to respond to the complaint originally snail mailed several years ago. This material, figuratively targeting Wells Fargo and the governor 'wannabe' now Governor, had been posted and can be found by scrolling all the way down and clicking on the links well below. ... Governor? Wells Fargo bribe you to look the other way?

Will continue to do all I can to publicly expose this to all, both in this publication and elsewhere. Have done precisely that with the following email sent to the Director, Assisted Living, CelesteCare, Horseshoe Bay, TX. A copy of it was also sent to Wells Fargo officer Amanda Wright. She has, indeed, been promoted to branch manager. Reverse Darwinism. Survival of the unfittest.

This young woman has indeed been rewarded by the Wells Fargo corporate management suite for engaging in criminal deceptive trade practices and her undying loyalty to her corporate masters. The process to update those already informed of this fiasco has finally been completed. This latest material can be found by clicking onWells Fargo Deceptive Trade Practices Salvo 137, 1-20-17 .

The name of this publication was changed some ten years ago from The Llano Ledger to Liberty In Peril. The reason? Simple. Cowardly failure of this community to stand up to tyranny that has only exponentially worsened the last decade. Clearly, demonstrated as well by the cowardly failure of businesses to financially support this publication. Either through advertising or other financial support. Too afraid doing so would enrage the bastards who run and own this hellhole County.

-- Despite the fact these businesses were, and are, being egregiously f--ked by these very same bastards. Tough, isn't it? Impossible to entertain any sympathy for cowardice, however. Especially in view of the fact this writer has placed himself in great jeopardy taking on these corrupt, abusive, inept criminal bastards. Alone.

Exactly, why you see no investigative material highly critical of these sons of bitches in other local rags. Sadly, cowardly, all advertising income immediately dries up. Consequently, the bastards continue their criminal chicanery with impunity. On a rampage. Thus, you get what you truly deserve. Always. Precisely, why this earlier name change to Liberty In Peril remains appropriate. -- Despite the fact this writer has not yet left the area. Ten years after originally intending to do so. Thirty years in this goddamned godforsaken hellhole.

This writer, then and now, remains primarily interested in state, federal, and international issues. Another reason for this publication name change. Despite the fact I stupidly cluelessly remain here, local issues must be addressed. Can't be ignored. That's where you come in dear readers. Have the courage to inform this writer of local abuse, corruption, ineptness you are aware of, have personally experienced.

... Information these criminal bastards do all they can to conceal, cover up. Otherwise, how can they effectively sustain the charade and intended result? Loot confiscation through a boot heel on the throat of the citizenry.

The only way, short of an unwanted dreaded second American revolution, to force badly-needed change is to expose all this to the light of day. These bastards are beginning to understand they have a problem. No question, the growing rage of those they've abused, looted, egregiously f--ked. It's time to stand up. Expose this corruption to glaring sunlight. Otherwise, as fools, cowards, you will remain under their thumb. From the loftiest business owner to those on the bottom of the food chain. Wake up. Grow a pair.

Still don't think that likely to happen. After all, you're bought and paid for. Owned. Not only by your government masters, but their masters. The corporate management suite. Your employers. Think not? Wake up. You're human chattel. Corporate-owned, bought and paid for. Precisely, why you cowardly, compliantly, literally bare your asses for corporate inspection by the company doctor. Willingly, compliantly, cowardly piss in a cup under employer supervision. To sit in front of a keyboard or stock shelves all day. You have no control of your lives. You're owned. Forget? For a measly salary, no job security, reduced to no benefits. At a time of record corporate profits and cash reserves.

Then, you gallingly complain about the oppression as you tolerate egregious theft of your labor. Not only by your corporate masters, but their bought and paid for government lackeys. Too cowardly to stand up, allow disclosure of your identity when you rightfully complain to this publication of being mercilessly f--ked. Some of you falsely arrested, criminally assaulted, bogusly fined for 'offenses' you did not commit. To line County coffers. Keep the peasants in line and under control. A fascist police-state. Nazi America.

Again, yet another reason why this publication is called Liberty In Peril. Most galling? Nothing changes if you fail to step up and challenge corrupt, abusive, inept authority. Too afraid, cowardly compliant to let the bastards know who you are. Did it ever occur to the cowards out there if the identity of the accuser is kept under wraps the bastards will falsely claim it's all made up by this publication? Thus, conveniently killing all credibility. Wake up.

Cowardice is unbecoming, unworthy of our formerly great country. Insult to injury? There are the hopelessly deranged who believe the chicanery reported here to be manufactured anyway. No matter the effort. No matter the research. No matter the proof. Wake up. This writer cannot do it alone. Snowball's chance in hell. Then again, cowardice, delusion is always amply, justly rewarded. Always. You continue to 'enjoy' the very best government money can buy. Literally.

Cannot do it alone. Impossible. Not sustainable. This publication needs your financial and material support. Both. Time to step up.

Click herefor a most interesting conversation between JP2 Linda Ballard and LCRA Communications Supervisor Mitch Hibbs who at the time was investigating a complaint made by the Henderson family against the 'judge.' The recording had been made by Hibbs and provided by Phyllis Henderson who had gotten it through an open records request. During the course of the recording you will hear the 'judge' make a terroristic threat against the Henderson family which the investigator laughingly shrugged off as a joke.

Seems former LCRA Ranger Lance Bilski, stepson of Llano County Sheriff Bill Blackburn, had been harassing the Henderson family regarding their tire business, Henderson Tire. Worse? There are unsubstantiated allegations, that although very much attached, Bilski may have indeed engaged in improprieties, that is, egregiously unprofessional conduct relevant to the Henderson complaint. All this had been covered in Newsletter Text V346.

Publication of this material, however, should in no way be interpreted as endorsement of Ballard's opponent, Steve Lange, in the upcoming runoff. It is not. It is provided as a public service to expose the 'judge' for exactly whom and what she is.
