Publisher's Note: This publication receives no financial support through advertising.  Although shaken down, looted, and abused by corrupt government, area businesses remain unwilling to stand up.  Locals are too gutless to donate financially, cowardly fearing retribution.  For this publication to survive, national readers need to contribute.  Liberty In Peril is, has been, and will always remain beholden to NO ONE. -- Precisely why there is no financial assistance.  ... From day of launch and certainly a no-brainer to this very day, firmly resolved to walk away first rather than compromise principle. -- To the chagrin of many and delight of few.    T.C. (5-7-13).


For new readers:  Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion.  'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

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.

... Hey, Sheriff? Is it true Llano County Attorney Becky Lange has advised you to stay out of the "Berardi Property Rights Denial-Damage To Pace Arrow-Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764" fiasco?  That right, Bill?  Isn't that obstruction of justice?  Also true your deputies have advised the Bolens to accept the status quo and not force the no-trespassing issue with Greene?  If so, isn't that also obstruction and official oppression?  When will you do your job, Bill?  As an elected official, you answer to the public, forget?  -- No honor?  ... No honor at all? If the foregoing allegations are indeed true, didn't you swear an oath to uphold the law and Constitution? Why aren't you doing so?  No guts?

Your deputy has been accused of abusing authority.  What action have you taken other than ignore the complaint?  Why aren't both Rodriguez and the County Attorney under criminal investigation?  The County Attorney appears to be obstructing justice, accepting the word of Greene in lieu of two surveyor companies who strongly assert otherwise.  Both the County Attorney and District Attorney have ignored complaints.  Par for the course in Llano County, isn't it?  Failed to do their jobs.  No surprise there, right, Bill?  Both receiving 'special consideration' up to and/or including a bribe from Greene?  Regardless, clearly, no justice in Nazi Llano County.  Bottom line?  Desperate need for an outside criminal investigation.  Conveniently, forget?  This County is ruled by men, certainly not rule of law and the United States Constitution.

Precisely, why there is desperate need for a new federal agency whose sole function would be to investigate, arrest, charge, and prosecute criminal law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges in a special court whose only mandate would be to adjudicate such cases.  Total independence.  Until that happens, the criminal bastards who falsely believe they run and own this hell hole County will continue to do as they please.

Some salient quotes occurring later on in this edition vis a vis unfinished business County officials continue to ignore:

... "No justice.  Precisely, why there is desperate need for a new federal agency whose sole function would be to investigate, arrest, charge, and prosecute corrupt, abusive, criminal officers, prosecutors, and judges in a special court that would adjudicate only these cases.  Total independence.  The only way to rein in these criminals, particularly the murderers in blue.

Sadly, the achingly clueless bastards in law enforcement don't need a legitimate reason to kill.  Enjoy carte blanche to murder on the job.  Nearly always, with impunity.  ... Right, Sheriff?  Sue the living shit out of the jackbooted motherf--kers, the department, and the city.  Any officer engaged in, or threatening this kind of unnecessary violence needs to be criminally prosecuted.  Not protected and coddled.  Not put on paid leave, -- no more than a paid vacation.  Not sent home without pay to catch up on his beauty sleep.

Firing is egregiously insufficient.  How can the law enforcement community be trusted?  No foreign power, no terrorist organization, not even the criminal element presents a greater threat to life, liberty, all civil and constitutional rights and liberties than the criminal jackbooted bastards in law enforcement.  ... Right, Sheriff?  Madam County Attorney?  "Sonny Boy?"

These are extremely dangerous times for our formerly great country.  ... Hear the rumble?  An unwanted dreaded second American revolution catastrophically looming.  -- As our legislators and other government officials figuratively 'fiddle while Rome burns.'

Not good enough.  Nowhere near.  Short of an unwanted dreaded second American revolution, only one way for these atrocities to end.  Again, time for a new federal agency whose sole function would be to investigate, arrest, charge, prosecute corrupt, abusive, criminal officers, prosecutors, and judges in a special court whose sole function would be to adjudicate such cases.  Total independence.

Local  and state authorities are egregiously incapable of handling these cases. Tend to protect their own.  ... Right, Sheriff?  Goes with the territory, doesn't it, Bill?  Precisely, why there is no faith or trust in your criminal jackbooted bastards.  Local authorities here in Nazi Llano County have their heads figuratively, securely lodged so far up their clueless ass their eyeballs are turning inside out.  Protect and coddle your clueless, out of control officers.  Imagine that.

Unadulterated, blatant ongoing horse shit.  ... Right, Bill?  F--k these jackbooted bastards.  Aren't worth a crap.  Continually abrogate their oaths of office to protect and defend the United States Constitution.  ... Right, Sheriff?  Includes not only deputies, but the brass as well.  No principles.  No honor.  Lying, conniving, abusive, murderous jackbooted thieving thugs.  The American Civil Liberties Union needs to step up and represent the victims of abusive law enforcement.

To say nothing of innocent civilians all across our formerly great country who are victimized by abusive police.  Need far better representation than a public defender.  Forget?  It's how the bastards in government line government coffers.  All too often, looting the innocent.  Those on the bottom of the food chain.  ... Right, Sheriff?

No justice.  The American Way.  Nazi America.  When is this shit finally going to end?  All of it.  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?  Four hundred thirty-seven 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 the hell are they?

When will the goddamned 'law' 'enforcement' community finally stop making excuses for engaging in outrageous criminal activity including blatant murder, violent assault, sexual assault, theft, drug trafficking, etc.?  List can go on and on. Protecting its own no matter what it does or doesn't do?  Convenient, isn't it, Sheriff?  Again, no foreign power, no terrorist organization, not even the criminal element presents a greater threat to life, liberty, all civil and constitutional rights and liberties than all branches and levels of government, -- including law enforcement.

Corruption within law enforcement remains an existential threat to life, liberty, all civil and constitutional rights and liberties.  So what else is new?  ... Right, Bill?  Same old duplicitous, aggressively stupid shit occurs right here in Nazi Llano County.  ... Doesn't it, Sheriff?

Think it'll change any time soon?  Don't hold your breath, readers.  Not how things work in Nazi America, right, Sheriff?  Highly reminiscent of how your goons operate though, isn't it, Bill?  Forget?  'Stupid is as stupid does.'  F--ked up is f--ked up no matter where, no matter how.  Problem throughout all law enforcement.

Including right here in Nazi Llano County, right, Sheriff?  Too many officers clearly have their heads securely lodged where the sun seldom shines.  Egregious insanity continues to be perpetrated by the criminal jackbooted bastards in blue.  Ongoing issue.  All over our formerly great country.

Not just in Dallas as in the Guyger case, but all over the nation.  No end to it.  Surprised? Why?  In today's increasingly national socialist climate anything goes, right, Bill?  Live in a de facto fascist police-state, quickly transitioning to the Trump nazi's Fourth Reich.  Certainly, a problem here in Nazi Llano County, isn't it, Sheriff?  Your goons, however, aren't held accountable when they egregiously f--k up. Ever.

Precisely why you refuse to release information on your deputies to the long-suffering public? That is, employment history, criminal background, results of drug testing, etc..  ... Got to protect your criminal jackbooted thugs preying on the citizenry with virtual impunity, right, sir?

Equally pointedly, why hasn't Llano County Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764 been held criminally accountable for egregious abuse of power involving denial of property rights to a Kingsland property owner?  To say nothing of consequent resultant physical damage done to a motor home on that property.  Why are you protecting this clueless son of a bitch, Sheriff?

Why hasn't he been prosecuted for official oppression?  Where is financial compensation for the damage this jackbooted piece of human excrement is responsible for? Ferociously pointedly, why are the District Attorney and the County Attorney continuing to protect this jackbooted piece of shit?  He and others like him present an exigent threat to life, liberty, all civil and constitutional rights and liberties.

Equally to the point, why are your jackbooted pieces of human excrement refusing to enforce Berardi's property rights?  Your goons have failed to take action against Theresa Ahrens when she tore down a no trespassing sign and barrier on Berardi's property.  Have you, your goons, and/or Madam County Attorney been bribed by Johnny Greene?

Ahrens frequently drives all the way through Berardi's property.  Coup de grace?  When Berardi complained to Llano County Deputy Idle about the trespassing, the officer's response was insane.  Said the Sheriff told him to tell Berardi since Ahrens believes she owns his property she can't be charged with trespassing.  Perfect Catch-22, right, Sheriff?  You're not fit for office, Bill.  Bribed by Johnny Greene?

Why is Theresa Ahrens allowed by your goons to dictate what vehicles can and cannot be parked on Berardi's property?  Ahrens claims she has proof the property belongs to her where the vehicle was parked.  Has failed to produce it. Surveyors say otherwise.  Back up Berardi.  Yet, your jackbooted bastards refuse to enforce Berardi's property rights.  Why?  Somebody lining somebody's pockets, Sheriff?

Ms. Ahrens micro-mini portable 'house' is parked on an unused unmarked Llano County road.  Imagine that.  Madam County Attorney well-aware.  Has done nothing.  Shit squat.  Egregiously ignored her oath of office.  Someone bribing you, Becky?  Lining your pockets, Counselor?  Paying you not to sell the unused unmarked County road to Berardi?  Doesn't the County want and need the sale money, to say nothing of the resultant tax income?

No question, County and State agencies remain determinedly, concertedly, achingly incapable of criminal investigation of their own.  Precisely, why a new federal agency desperately needs to be created whose sole function would be to investigate, arrest, charge, prosecute corrupt, abusive, criminal officers, prosecutors, and judges in a special court whose sole function would be to adjudicate only such cases.  Total independence.  Certainly, go a long, long way to cleaning up this cess pool County.  Rein in the outrageously corrupt, abusive, achingly inept, self-serving assholes who run and own this hell hole.

Sheriff, you falsely claim the Kingsland County Commissioner has the authority to resolve this ongoing property rights issue.  Clearly, doesn't.  You, Madam County Attorney, and "Sonny Boy" are certainly an egregious impediment, continue to determinedly stonewall.  Someone's pockets are being lined.  Again, where's financial compensation for the damage Llano County Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764 is directly responsible for to the Pace Arrow?  Why hasn't he been prosecuted for this damage, to say nothing of infringement of Berardi's property rights?  -- Just getting started, Sheriff.  Far more to come.

-- You're not doing your jobs, Sheriff.  You've got a loose vicious dog problem in Kingsland, Bill.  When will you and the troops finally do something about this ongoing issue?  Certainly, a recurring problem on Skyline, particularly on occasion at the intersection of Odessa.  Pedestrians, runners, and cyclists are at risk.  Too busy lining County coffers with bogus tickets?


... Hey, Sheriff?  Reportedly, promote Llano County Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764 to Sergeant?  If true, yet another classic example of survival of the unfittest in the law enforcement community.  Readers are reminded this is the very same idiot, clueless asshole responsible for thousands of dollars of damage to the Pace Arrow as reported in each edition of this publication.  Far more to Kingsland property owner James Berardi in a property dispute.  -- A dispute engineered by Johnny Greene, apparently financed by a bribe to the former County Attorney, current District Attorney, and Sheriff.  A federal investigation of Llano County government and the aforementioned allegedly corrupt and abusive bastards in this ongoing fiasco is desperately needed.  Tim Chorney.

Re:  Berardi Property Rights Denial-Damage To Pace Arrow-Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764

Counselor:

The enclosed emails were sent to the Llano County Attorney and Sheriff, respectively, vis a vis the above matter.  Remain unanswered.  The County Attorney appears to be protecting and defending the deputy at behest of Kingsland property owner Johnny Greene.  May have received some consideration from Greene up to and including a bribe.  Are the County Attorney, Greene, and the Deputy under criminal investigation?  If not, why not?

Re:  Berardi Property Rights Denial-Damage To Pace Arrow-Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764

Counselor:

As you're well aware, we have an outrageously corrupt, abusive, achingly inept Llano County Sheriff's Office here in Nazi Llano County.  Worse, you and your office aid and abet these SS jackbooted bastards in black.  The issue at the moment is the same it's been the last six months.

How is it two surveyor companies, the Appraisal District, the Tax Office, the Precinct 3 Commissioner, even the goddamned Sheriff himself now states Kingsland resident James Berardi owns the lots in contention all these months?

Yet, you ludicrously assert that's not the County's legal position.  It's not?  Why not?  You claim you're not a real estate expert.  Rather than accept the advice of two surveyor companies, the Precinct 3 Commissioner, the Appraisal District, the Tax Office, and even the Sheriff himself, you've inexplicably chosen to follow the advice of property owner Johnny Greene, -- who conveniently happens to be reportedly in the oil industry.

Question to be asked.  Could you have received any 'consideration' in return, -- up to and including a bribe?  Only way to know for sure is for the District Attorney to conduct a criminal investigation.  Apparently, there has been none.  If not, why not?

Equally pointedly, why hasn't Llano County Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764 been held criminally accountable for egregious abuse of power involving denial of property rights to this Kingsland property owner?  To say nothing of consequent resultant physical damage done to a motor home on that property.

Our achingly useless, worthless, gutless Sheriff has ignored an email vis a vis the damage this jackbooted thug is responsible for.  Interestingly, his fellow officers believe him to be an idiot.  Yet, the Sheriff continued to defend this piece of human excrement until he realized  this entire fiasco would not be swept under the carpet.

Rodriguez is indeed an idiot.  Would you believe this piece of crap ordered the motor home to be moved on to an unmarked unused Llano County road? That motor home has indeed been moved back to where it was parked before Rodriguez forced it to be moved.  Why hasn't the County paid for the cost of moving it back?  To say nothing of the damage.

Equally pointedly, why is it the County has allowed Theresa Ahrens to park and live in her tiny cottage on that very same road?  Why hasn't she been evicted by the County?  Why was she assessed taxes on an adjacent improvement she doesn't own?

Why is it, Counselor, Johnny Greene is paying for the attorney retained by Ms. Ahrens?  Is Greene attempting to make this all go away by bribery?  Greene has also informed Berardi he is going to sue.  For what?  Has Greene lost his mind?

What about Wells who installed a $4500 septic system on a lot turns out he does not own as a result of Greene, an outrageously inept County, to say nothing of the Llano County Attorney who remains equally determinedly clueless?

How about Bolen who hasn't a pot to piss in, but was nonetheless f--ked over by Greene to say nothing of an egregiously inept County, to say nothing of you and your goddamned equally incompetent office?

None of this is going away, Counselor, -- any time soon.  Will not be swept under the carpet as all the other crap going on in this hell hole County.  Not a chance.  Expect a full expose in this publication whether or not this outrageous fiasco finally gets resolved.  Including full public exposure of both the Sheriff and his jackbooted thug.

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?  Four hundred thirty-seven 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?  Four hundred thirty-seven 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.  Four hundred thirty-seven 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 many  others 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.  This 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 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.


While the business and church communities stood tall during the recent Kingsland flood catastrophe, there was one glaring exception.  On 10-17-18, the Antlers Coffee Shop closed due to storm-related failure of the Kingsland water system. Patrons, however, are routinely allowed to get online outside even when the shop is closed.

A long-term coffee shop customer entered the hotel lobby to ask the desk clerk whether wifi was still up and running after the catastrophe.  She said it was and told the patron he could get online inside the closed shop.  She then asked him to have another regular customer who had just arrived outside to come in and get out of the cold as well.

Antlers co-proprietor Rick apparently quickly got wind of both customers, made quite a jackass of himself emulating the petulant narcissist currently occupying the Oval Office.  Aggressive stupidity at a time the Kingsland business community is indeed suffering, can least afford it.  Further proof positive of the old adage 'can fix ignorant, can't fix stupid.'

Why would, why should both customers put up with this?  Think this hasn't happened to others?

Highly reminiscent of our outrageously bought and paid for judiciary, Llano County prosecutors, Sheriff Bill Blackburn and his criminal SS jackbooted bastards in black who continue to egregiously disgrace themselves and the badge, do as they please regardless of the law and Constitution, carefully consider the following.  It's appalling.  Runs against the grain of everything our formerly great country once stood for.  No longer.

The Associated Press reports:

"A Nebraska prosecutor says he will not file criminal charges against an Omaha police officer who fatally shot an unarmed man while serving a no-knock warrant."

Nazi justice.  'Shoot first, ask questions later.'  Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion.  'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

"Omaha Police Officer Adam Vail was part of a SWAT team serving the search warrant during a drug and firearms investigation on Aug. 28 when he fired the single shot that killed 37-year-old Cameron Ford."

Gutless piece of shit.  No greater threat to life, liberty, all civil and constitutional rights and liberties than a gutless out of control jackbooted bastard in blue.

"Ford was not holding a gun, but Vail couldn’t see Ford’s hands and fired when Ford charged at him, Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine said during a news conference Thursday. Vail shot Ford “in fear for his life and his fellow officers,” Kleine said."

That's a crock of shit embraced by a gutless piece of shit who pre-emptively murdered an unarmed man.  The following does not excuse or justify murder committed by this officer:

"A loaded gun and drugs were found in the home, police said. Body camera footage was obscured by Vail’s ballistic shield, police said."

The murderous behavior of this officer is precisely why law enforcement is not, and cannot be trusted.

"Ford’s family and other supporters gathered Tuesday outside police headquarters in Omaha to urge authorities to hold Vail accountable and fire him. Relatives said Ford was the father of two daughters."

Matters not to corrupt and abusive, murderous law enforcement.  ... Right, Sheriff?

"While Kleine is not filing charges, a grand jury must still review the case as required under Nebraska law."

Truly think prosecutors will force the issue in a de facto fascist police-state?  Good luckFascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion.  'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

Cowardly fail to financially and/or materially support those fighting for all civil and constitutional rights and liberties at great personal cost and risk?  Get what you truly deserve.  Forfeiture of liberty.  At the hands of outrageously corrupt and abusive government.



Highly reminiscent of our outrageously bought and paid for judiciary, Llano County prosecutors, Sheriff Bill Blackburn and his criminal SS jackbooted bastards in black who continue to egregiously disgrace themselves and the badge, do as they please regardless of the law and Constitution, carefully consider the following.  It's appalling.  Runs against the grain of everything our formerly great country once stood for.  No longer.


In follow-up to an egregious case covered repeatedly here and elsewhere, The Washington Post reports:

"The man who police allege discarded a gun that went off while a veteran police officer tried to retrieve it from a storm drain in Northeast Washington, fatally wounding the officer last week, surrendered to police overnight, according to the department’s spokesman. Tyrell Lamonte Bailey, 27, has been charged in a warrant with unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction, according to D.C. police. Court records show he was released from federal prison in 2022 after serving seven years for his role in an armed robbery. It could not immediately be determined whether Bailey, who lives in Hillcrest Heights, Md., would make a court appearance Thursday, or whether he has an attorney. A D.C. Superior Court spokesman said Bailey would be charged in federal court, where the maximum penalty for a conviction of being a felon in possession of a firearm is 10 years in prison."

No transparency:

"Further details of the arrest and where it occurred were not immediately available. In a statement, D.C. Police Chief Pamela A. Smith expressed her “appreciation for the community for their tips and information that led to identifying and the arrest of this individual.”

As usual, the lack of transparency is appalling.  Unjustified.  Raises questions as to the integrity of the 'investigation.'

"Smith said the department’s “focus is on honoring the memory and legacy of Investigator Wayne David and giving him an exceptional send off during his funeral services next week.”

As well it should.

"Authorities said they have linked the gun, which they allege Bailey put in the drain during a police pursuit along D.C. Route 295 on Aug. 28, to the death of David, a police officer who died shortly after he was struck by a bullet from that firearm."

The officer himself, not the defendant, inadvertently discharged the weapon while attempting its recovery causing the death of the officer.

"David, 51, was a member of the violent crime suppression team, which is largely responsible for seizing and collecting illegal firearms in the District. The 25-year veteran was among the original members of the gun recovery unit, and he had worked in the unit beyond his retirement age."

No question, David was indeed a great officer.

"Police said officers first noticed Bailey in the early evening hours of Aug. 28 exiting a vehicle parked in an alley along Quarles Street in the Kenilworth neighborhood of Northeast Washington. According to an arrest warrant filed in D.C. Superior Court on Thursday, the officer asserted Bailey was “exhibiting movements and actions that led them to believe that he was armed with a weapon.” Bailey ran when the officers approached him, according to the warrant. Police allege that Bailey ran along the southbound lanes of Route 295 and dropped the firearm down a storm drain. Police said he then ran across the busy highway, went through a gap in median strip fencing — losing a white shoe that police later found — and got onto the back of a motorcycle stopped in traffic. The driver of that motorcycle took off, police said. The warrant says much of the pursuit on foot was captured on various surveillance cameras, including footage of him bending over on the side of the highway “consistent with placing an object on the ground.”

The lack of transparency, however, remains appalling.  Unjustified.

"Police called David to the scene to retrieve the firearm, which was seen two to three feet down the storm drain. Officers were unable to remove the grate, according to two public safety officials familiar with the investigation. Those officials said David used a metal tool typically used to unlock car doors to reach the weapon when it suddenly discharged, striking him in the head. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a matter that is still being investigated."

The lack of transparency remains appalling.  Unjustified.  Gutlessly covering their asses?

"The arrest warrant says that after David was shot, forensic investigators went to the scene, removed the grate and retrieved a black Smith & Wesson .40-caliber pistol loaded with eight bullets. Smith has said that its serial number had been scratched off and that officials were working to determine whether the gun is linked to other crimes. On Saturday, police said they had located the motorcyclist but did not arrest him. According to the warrant, the motorcycle driver came forward a day after the shooting. The man told police, according to the warrant, that he had been driving to Bladensburg, Md., and stopped to assist victims of a traffic crash. A short time later, the driver told police he encountered a man wearing no shoes screaming on the side of Route 295. He told police, according to the warrant, the man yelled that “he had just been robbed and people were trying kill him.” The driver allowed him to get on the back of his motorcycle and he dropped him off at a convenience store in Northeast Washington. That driver has not been charged with a crime."

Interestingly:

"D.C. police said in the warrant that they searched a gold Honda with Virginia license plates parked in the alley off Quarles Street, where officers had first encountered Bailey. Police said they found a wallet with Bailey’s Maryland driver’s license. In addition, police said a witness identified Bailey as the man in surveillance photographs distributed by police. Court records show that in 2016, Bailey pleaded guilty in federal court in Maryland to robbery and using a firearm in a crime of violence. He was accused along with others with robbing a T-Mobile store in Prince George’s County in April of that year. Authorities said in court documents that Bailey — wearing a mask and armed with a semiautomatic handgun — forced an employee to a storeroom, demanded a safe be opened and took 28 smartphones worth over $20,000."

Sadly:

"David was the sixth D.C. police officer to die in the line of duty since 2007 and the first to be fatally shot since 2004, according to online department records. He had a son and a daughter, and a brother who retired from the D.C. police force. Colleagues have spoken glowingly about the officer, noting his calm temperament and ever-present smile. An assistant police chief said David had probably seized or recovered more illegal firearms than anyone else on the force. Colleagues described David as a quiet, unassuming fixture on the force who was passionate about his job. He trained many of the leaders in the department and mentored youths. David’s funeral is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 12 at Ebenezer AME Church in Prince George’s County."

Sad, sad loss of a great officer.

Cowardly fail to financially and/or materially support those fighting for all civil and constitutional rights and liberties at great personal cost and risk?  Get what you truly deserve.  Forfeiture of liberty.  At the hands of outrageously corrupt and abusive government.
 

Highly reminiscent of our outrageously bought and paid for judiciary, Llano County prosecutors, Sheriff Bill Blackburn and his criminal SS jackbooted bastards in black who continue to egregiously disgrace themselves and the badge, do as they please regardless of the law and Constitution, carefully consider the following.  It's appalling.  Runs against the grain of everything our formerly great country once stood for.  No longer.

CBS News reports:

"A former sheriff's deputy in New Mexico was sentenced Thursday to nine years imprisonment and another three years of supervised release for kidnapping and sexually assaulting a woman whom he arrested last year, while working in his official capacity for the Doņa Ana Sheriff's Office, authorities said."

Think that's justice?

"Michael Martinez, 34, will also be required to register as a sex offender in accordance with the Federal Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, the U.S. Department of Justice announced. He was convicted and sentenced for violating the woman's civil rights and for obstruction of justice. Martinez pleaded guilty to both counts in April, the Justice Department said. The charges stemmed from his sexual assault of the female arrestee inside of his patrol car in April 2023, and his subsequent attempt to destroy the car's camera system that had recorded footage of the attack."

Gutless piece of shit.  What a disgrace to the badge and rule of law.

"Sexual assaults perpetrated by police officers are heinous crimes and a disgraceful breach of the public's trust in law enforcement," said Kristen Clarke, an assistant attorney in the justice department's civil rights division, in a statement. "This defendant's misconduct — exploiting the power of his badge, weaponizing his authority as a police officer and sexually assaulting a handcuffed victim in the back of his patrol vehicle — violated the victim's core civil rights and basic standards of decency."

Indeed.  Precisely why law enforcement is not, and cannot be trusted.

"A criminal complaint filed last year and reviewed by CBS News described the crimes to which Martinez later admitted responsibility. According to the complaint, Martinez responded to a car crash on April 30, where a vehicle had struck a tree, and arrested one of the two women present at the scene for driving while intoxicated and careless driving. He transported the woman first to the sheriff's office, where tests revealed her blood alcohol level was half of the legal limit, and a second sample proved "insufficient," the document said."

How about that?

"Martinez then brought the woman, who was still handcuffed, to a medical center for medical clearance. Authorities say Martinez later handcuffed her again and moved her back to his patrol car, where he sexually assaulted her. He then drove the woman to the Doņa Ana Detention Center and booked her."

For what?

"Hours later, Martinez allegedly tried to destroy the WatchGuard DVR system inside of his car. On May 2, he reported a claim of criminal damage to his property to the sheriff's office, saying his vehicle had been broken into and its DVR system was damaged or destroyed along with other technology, according to the criminal complaint. An investigation into that claim uncovered footage of the assault and of him attempting to destroy the recording system. He was fired from the sheriff's office soon afterward."

Precisely why law enforcement is not, and cannot be trusted.  What a goddamned disgrace.

Highly reminiscent of our outrageously bought and paid for judiciary, Llano County prosecutors, Sheriff Bill Blackburn and his criminal SS jackbooted bastards in black who continue to egregiously disgrace themselves and the badge, do as they please regardless of the law and Constitution, carefully consider the following.  It's appalling.  Runs against the grain of everything our formerly great country once stood for.  No longer.

The following is truly incomprehensible.  Gutwrenching.  How could her colleagues not known this officer had serious domestic issues that could and did result in her murder?  Time for desperately needed change in the law enforcement community.  Seatbelts on:

ABC News(AP) reports:

"Prosecutors charged a Utah man with murder Friday, alleging he killed his adult daughter, a Salt Lake City sheriff's deputy. Hector Ramon Martinez-Ayala, 54, of Tooele, confessed in a text message to his brother of making “a big mistake” before fleeing the country and using his daughter's bank card to withdraw money, prosecutors said in court documents. The victim was Marbella Martinez, 25, said Tooele Police spokesman Colbey Bentley. Martinez had started working as a corrections officer with the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office in January. The department had memorialized her in a Facebook post Thursday, noting her death was being investigated as “suspicious” by Tooele police."

Get this:

"She had lived with her father in Tooele, west of Salt Lake City, until her father's escalating series of obsessive texting, surveillance and stalking drove her to move into a hotel for a few days, according to court documents. The charges alleged the stalking behavior had gone on for months, and that the “text messages from the defendant to the victim are more of the nature of a jealous lover than a father.” Martinez also found a bag of her underwear in his room, prosecutors said. Then, in mid-July he placed a tracking device on her vehicle while she was out of the country and later used it to find her and a romantic interest out by a hiking area, according to the charges. When she returned to their house on the morning of July 31, her father strangled her, investigators said. Cameras on the property were quickly disabled or disconnected, but Martinez-Ayala left plenty of digital footprints, including location data on his phone and his daughter's phone, as well as a text message to his brother that afternoon, according to investigators. “My brother, you know much I love you, I made a big mistake, an unforgivable sin, now I’m too scared and I don’t know what to do. I think I will never come back,” the message said, according to the charging documents. He flew to California, then Texas, before his cell records ceased, prosecutors said. He was then filmed passing through customs in an undisclosed country where he used his brother's identification."

How could this officer's fellow colleagues not known she had serious domestic issues she was confronting?  Don't officers look out for one another?

"Martinez’s body was found on Aug. 1 in her bedroom after police were called to do a welfare check. In addition to murder, Martinez-Ayala is charged with felonies related to obstruction of justice, stealing a bank card, and stalking, as well as misdemeanor identity theft. Martinez-Ayala does not have an attorney listed in Utah online court records, and attempts to find alternative methods to contact him were unsuccessful."

NBC News(AP) reports:

"It’s been more than five years since a Houston couple were killed after officers burst into their home during a drug raid and opened fire, believing they were dangerous heroin dealers."

Why all the foot-dragging all these years?

"Investigators later said they only found small amounts of marijuana and cocaine in the house in Texas and accused Gerald Goines, the officer who led January 2019 drug raid, of lying about the couple to obtain a search warrant, including making up a confidential informant who had supposedly bought drugs at the home. The probe into the drug raid also brought forth allegations of systemic corruption within the police department’s narcotics unit."

Surprised?

"Goines, 59, was later indicted on two counts of murder in connection with the couple’s death. On Monday, opening statements were set to be held in Goines’ murder trial in a Houston courtroom. Goines has pleaded not guilty to two felony murder counts in the deaths of Dennis Tuttle, 59, and his wife Rhogena Nicholas, 58. Both prosecutors and Goines’ lawyers declined to comment ahead of opening statements, citing a gag order in the case. In court documents, prosecutors with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office have criticized Goines’ efforts to overturn his indictment and delay the case. In March, a judge dismissed the murder charges against Goines. Weeks later, he was reindicted. “After more than five years of providing extensive discovery, attending numerous hearings and navigating various trial delays, the time for justice looms now,” prosecutors said in court documents."

Again, what took so long?

"Nicole DeBorde, one of Goines’ attorneys, has previously accused prosecutors of misconduct in the case. She had alleged that Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg has generated excess publicity in the case, preventing the ex-officer from getting a fair trial. Prosecutors allege Goines lied to obtain a search warrant by making up a confidential informant and wrongly portraying the couple as dangerous heroin dealers. That led to a deadly encounter in which officers shot and killed Tuttle, Nicholas and their dog, they said. Five officers, including Goines, were injured in the raid."

Remarkably:

"Michael Wynne, a Houston-based criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor not connected to the case, said some of the issues prosecutors will have to contend with include overcoming the benefit of the doubt that people tend to give to police officers."

Needs to end.  Not warranted in way too many cases.

"But Goines will have too many hurdles to overcome, Wynne said. “Mr. Goines has the best counsel you could possibly get,” Wynne said. “But I think they got an uphill battle here.”

Hopefully, that's true.

"A dozen officers tied to the narcotics squad that carried out the raid, including Goines, were later indicted on various other charges following a corruption probe. A judge in June dismissed charges against some of the officers. Since the raid, prosecutors have reviewed thousands of cases handled by the narcotics unit. Goines is also facing federal charges in connection with the case. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has overturned at least 22 convictions linked to Goines."

Most interesting?  Get this:

"One of the other cases tied to Goines that remains under scrutiny is his 2004 drug arrest in Houston of George Floyd, whose 2020 death at the hands of a Minnesota police officer sparked a nationwide reckoning on racism in policing. A Texas board in 2022 declined a request that Floyd be granted a posthumous pardon for his drug conviction stemming from his arrest by Goines."

Nazi justice.  Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion.  'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

Highly reminiscent of our outrageously bought and paid for judiciary, Llano County prosecutors, Sheriff Bill Blackburn and his criminal SS jackbooted bastards in black who continue to egregiously disgrace themselves and the badge, do as they please regardless of the law and Constitution, carefully consider the following.  It's appalling.  Runs against the grain of everything our formerly great country once stood for.  No longer.

The Washington Post reports:

"A day after Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was detained and handcuffed by police shortly before his team’s season opener, Miami-Dade police released body-cam footage of the incident, showing the rapid escalation that led to Hill being taken to the ground. The Dolphins subsequently said Monday in a strongly worded statement that the footage showed “there are some officers who mistake their responsibility and commitment to serve with misguided power.” In a portion of the footage, an officer is shown pulling a car over and telling Hill, the driver, to roll his window back down. After the officer repeats the request, the situation gets more tense as Hill is pulled from his car and placed in handcuffs, face down on the street."

Jackbooted bastards in blue.  How can law enforcement be trusted when this shit goes on all across this country?

"Earlier Monday, an attorney for Hill and the South Florida Police Benevolent Association released statements offering differing versions of the encounter. Hill’s legal team said it believed “this matter was escalated due to overzealous officers attempting to impose their authority,” while the head of the police union described Hill as “uncooperative.”

Clearly, 
the South Florida Police Benevolent Association is impressed with itself and the highly abusive Aryan arrogance of the outrageously fascist law enforcement community.  Fascism, nazism, national socialism defined as the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion.  'Justified' by perversion and bastardization of the latter.

"Hill was released from police custody after about 30 minutes Sunday morning and was able to help the Dolphins beat the Jacksonville Jaguars. By the time the game ended, his confrontation with the police had made national headlines, with parts of the episode filmed and shared online by passing motorists."

Surprised?

"Noting that protocol normally calls for body-cam footage to be released after any internal reviews have concluded, Miami-Dade Police Director Stephanie V. Daniels said Monday that the available footage of the incident with Hill was being shared sooner than that to “reinforce the Department’s commitment to keeping the public informed.”

If that were truly the case, law enforcement would embrace transparency instead of routinely using the lack thereof to protect its sorry, outrageously corrupt and abusive ass.  ... Right, Sheriff?

"Daniels said Sunday that one of the officers involved in the incident was “placed on administrative duties” as her department conducted an investigation."

Big of her.  LOL.

"The portion of the footage showing Hill getting pulled over begins just before 10:20 a.m., with the 30-year-old driving a black sports car down a street leading to the Dolphins’ stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla. An officer on a motorcycle is seen approaching Hill’s car and, after he disembarks, the driver’s-side window can be seen being rolled up. After the officer knocks on Hill’s window, he rolls it down and tells the officer not to do that. As Hill is asked why he is not wearing a seat belt, he repeatedly tells the officer, “Don’t knock on my window like that.” After Hill hands his license to the officer, he says: “Just give me my ticket, bro, so I can go. I’m going to be late. Do what you’ve got to do.” After that comment, Hill rolls his window back up, causing the officer to ask him to keep it down. Soon, the officer raises his voice as he repeats the command, and he tells Hill: “As a matter of fact, get out of the car. Get out of the car right now. We’re not playing this game.”

Jackbooted motherf--kers in blue.  What a goddamned disgrace:

"At that point, another officer can be seen opening Hill’s car door and pulling the player out of the vehicle. Three officers join in pushing Hill to the ground, with one of them telling him, “What part of that don’t you understand?” Having taken his phone out of the car with him, Hill can be heard telling his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, that he is “getting arrested.” “When we tell you to do something, you do it, you understand?” an officer tells Hill. “Not when you want, but when we tell you. You’re a little f---ing confused.”

Jackbooted motherf--kers in blue.  What a goddamned disgrace:

"As Hill tells them he was “getting out” of his car, he is told, “Too late.” The officers then move Hill to the sidewalk and attempt to sit him down as the wide receiver protests that he just had surgery on his knee. At that point, some of Hill’s teammates, two of whom were identified later by the Dolphins as defensive lineman Calais Campbell and tight end Jonnu Smith, begin to appear at the scene. Campbell also was briefly placed in handcuffs and Smith was given a citation after they did not immediately comply with requests to leave the scene. “I just want to know what happened,” Campbell is heard telling officers, one of whom replies that it is not his “business.” A few moments later, an officer is heard saying to another of Hill: “Why is he acting up like that? You know who that is, right? He’s one of the Dolphins’ star players.”

The following is likely quite true:

"In an appearance Monday night on CNN, Hill said his celebrity might have saved him from even worse treatment. Noting the Colin Kaepernick-led protests in the NFL against police racism and brutality, Hill called on officers and other members of society to come together and “make a change.”

No question.  There is desperate need for immediate change.  Black men who are not celebrities are all too often murdered by the out of control jackbooted bastards in blue.

"An attorney for Hill, Julius B. Collins, said on CNN that while the officer who initially approached his client was not aggressive, a colleague who quickly joined the scene and “snatched” Hill from the car was “super aggressive.” Collins accused the second officer of putting a knee into Hill’s back, putting his hand on the player’s throat and putting him in “some kind of choke hold.” “One officer doesn’t make the whole group look bad,” Hill told the network. “Everybody has bad apples. Every team has bad apples.”

That's right.  Not all officers are murderers.  Way too many, however, are.

"Toward the end of the sequence shown in the body-cam footage, approximately 24 minutes after Hill is pulled over, he is released from his handcuffs. An officer can be heard confirming to a colleague that Hill was pulled over for speeding, specified as “careless driving,” and then was seen without a seat belt on and that he was traveling at 60 mph. Hill, who was heard jawing with police during different parts of the footage, shakes the hands of several officers before he is given his citation and allowed to leave. In its statement following the release of the body-cam footage, the Dolphins said they were “saddened by the overly aggressive and violent conduct” directed toward Hill, Campbell and Smith by Miami-Dade police."

This happens every day throughout our country.  It's how the jackbooted bastards get their cookies off abusing power.

“It is both maddening and heartbreaking,” the team said, “to watch the very people we trust to protect our community use unnecessary force and hostility towards these players, yet it is also a reminder that not every situation like this ends in peace, as we are grateful this one did.”

Had the victim not been a celebrity, he would have all too likely been murdered by these bastards.  Time to finally wake up.

"Noting their “strong and positive relationship” with Miami-Dade police and an understanding that “the vast majority of officers do serve the community with the utmost character,” the Dolphins urged the department to take “swift and strong action against the officers who engaged in such despicable behavior.”

Sadly, it will take far more than empty, hollow, meaningless, highly disingenuous rhetoric to secure desperately needed change.

... Hey, Sheriff? Reportedly, promote Llano County Deputy Leroy Rodriguez, Badge #764 to Sergeant?  If true, yet another classic example of survival of the unfittest in the law enforcement community.  Readers are reminded this is the very same idiot, clueless asshole responsible for thousands of dollars of damage to the Pace Arrow as reported in each edition of this publication.  Far more to Kingsland property owner James Berardi in a property dispute.  -- A dispute engineered by Johnny Greene, apparently financed by a bribe to the former County Attorney, current District Attorney, and Sheriff.  A federal investigation of Llano County government and the aforementioned allegedly corrupt and abusive bastards in this ongoing fiasco is desperately needed.  Tim Chorney.



In follow-up to an egregious case covered repeatedly here and elsewhere, The Associated Press reports:

"Dallas police officer Darron Burks, who was fatally shot in what the police chief called an execution, was remembered Saturday as a hero during a funeral service in Dallas. “A hero who made the ultimate sacrifice ... the grief is overwhelming,” said Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia during the nearly two-hour-long service that was often marked by applause for Burks’ mother, Cherie Jeffery, and laughter at memories of Burks. “He loved me every day, he didn’t wait until my birthday” or various holidays, Jeffery said as she stood next to a portrait of Burks in his uniform, adding that her son texted her daily. “Darron loved everybody.” Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson said Burks was “tragically taken, targeted” because he was a police officer. Burks was “a hero ... with a spirit of service and selflessness,” Johnson said. Bagpipes played and mourners streamed past his open coffin that was draped with a U.S. flag and uniformed police officers at either end until the casket was closed for the service."

Readers will recall:

"Burks, 46, was sitting in his patrol car Aug. 29 when he was fatally shot by 30-year-old Corey Cobb-Bey, who spoke briefly with Burks and recorded the encounter before pulling out a handgun and shooting Burks, according to police. “I know the word ambush has been thrown around ... that’s not what happened here,” Garcia said following the shooting. “Officer Burks was executed.” Cobb-Bey shot and wounded two other officers as they arrived, then fled the scene and was pursued by police to Lewisville, Texas, about 25 miles (40 kilometers) northwest of Dallas, police said. When Cobb-Bey’s vehicle came to a stop on Interstate 35, he exited with a shotgun in his hand and pointed it at officers. Six officers opened fire, killing Cobb-Bey who was struck multiple times, police said. Burks joined the police force in December after graduating from the police academy. He previously spent 17 years as a high school math teacher. Gov. Greg Abbott, at the request of Johnson, said state of Texas and United States flags could be lowered to half-staff on Saturday to honor Burks. “The First Lady and I extend prayers of comfort for the Burks family during their time of grief, and we urge all Texans to remember and honor Officer Burks’ service as a dedicated and trusted law enforcement officer,” Abbott said in a letter to Johnson."

Sad, sad loss of life.



The Associated Press reports:

"Donald Trump and Kamala Harris faced each other on the debate stage for the first — and possibly the last — time. The Democratic vice president opened Tuesday night’s faceoff with a power move, marching across the stage to Trump’s lectern to shake his hand. “Kamala Harris,” she said, introducing herself as the pair met for the first time ever. “Let’s have a good debate.” “Nice to see you. Have fun,” the former Republican president responded."

She sure did.  LOL.

"The exchange set the tone for the 90-minute debate to come: Harris controlled the conversation at times, baiting Trump with jabs at his economic policy, his refusal to concede his 2020 election loss and even his performance at his rallies. Trump, while measured early on, grew more annoyed as the night went on. And one significant moment played out after the two candidates left the stage, when megastar Taylor Swift said she’ll vote for Harris."

How about that?  LOL.

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 Matt Turner, Matt Turner Video Services, Marble Falls, TX.  A copy of it was also sent to Wells Fargo officer Amanda Wright.  She has, indeed, been promoted  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 240, 2-8-19.


The name of this publication was changed some fifteen 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 and a half.  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.
