Snohomish County Washington, Prosecutor’s officers felonious government sponsored activity exposed

 

Caroline Darrow, admits she’s tampering with public records, caught on camera

In April 2016, a whistleblower came forward from Snohomish County Department of Information Services Department (DIS) stating Snohomish County Prosecutors’ employees Brian Lewis and Caroline Darrow are tampering with public records.

 In April 2016, the whistleblower gave the Gold Bar Reporter email communication sent between and among an DIS employee, Snohomish County Prosecutor Sara Di Vittorio and then Executive public records officer Brian Lewis documenting beyond any shadow of a doubt that Brian Lewis and attorney/Prosecutor Sara Di Vittorio are guilty of felons, i.e. tampering with public records. Brian Lewis was fired by Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers, but then to help the racketeering Enterprise, Snohomish County Prosecutors Mark Roe and Sara Di Vittorio rehired him to tampering with Snohomish County’s court records.

Snohomish County “fixing” cases 

In July 2009, Gold Bar’s then appointed Gold Bar Mayor Joe Beavers ( also a convicted felon) bragged that he was fixing cases with the assistance of Snohomish County Washington Judiciary.   So here’s how it works, i.e. fixing cases.

When a litigant has a public record cases ( or any case ) pending in front  a Snohomish County Superior Court Judge, the Prosecutors’ Office sends an employee to the courtroom to watch. This is a “ tip” to the Superior Court judges ( or Commissioner/s)  that they are to fix the case/s.

An employee of Snohomish County told the Gold Bar Reporter “ remember when Gold Bar’s attorney Shannon Ragonesi filed that frivolous motion to dismiss your public record case in November 2017? Well, Mark Roe and Sara Di Vi Vittorio ordered Brian Lewis to sit in the audience to tip Judge Cindy Larsen off that the Prosecutors’ Office, also  Judge Larsen’s former employer,  was to rule against you. There’s only one problem, Judge Thomas Wynne had already held in your favor in March 2016.  As a result, Judge Cindy Larsen told Mark Roe that she couldn’t overrule another judge’s holding, but she ( Larsen) would rule against you on a well settled rule, metadata, trying to throw a monkey wrench in your win. “ The Snohomish County insider also said “ Mark Roe supported Judge Cindy Larsen and called in a favor…”  Sadly, Judge Larsen’s ruling supports the whistleblower’s statements of ” the Prosecutors are working with the Judges to “fix  cases.” To test this theory, the Gold Bar Reporter had a friend sitting in on  case in front of Snohomish County Commissioner Jacqueline Brudjack and Commissioner Pesky.   All of the sudden Snohomish County Prosecutor, Miquel Tempski, showed up in the audience, the Commissioner’s violated well settled rules on discovery.  Fixing cases clearly established, as the famous observationist Erickson said ” observation is evidence.” 

Further evidence comes from a recent ruling in another public records case where Snohomish County Judge Lucas stated for the record “ the proper motion on a modification of the commissioner’s holding is a Motion to Continue CR 56 (7) pending discovery.”  Only one problem, the activist was not at the court on a Motion to Oppose Summary Judgement, she was there to modify the commissioner ruling, holding in part that a Plaintiff has no legal right to conduct discovery. 

Judge Lucas either failed civil procedure in law school or he is corrupt.  My readers should keep in mind that Judge Lucas is also the judge that gave a Snohomish County employee, John E. Pennington, a man responsible for the rape of a 5 year old child in Cowlitz County Washington, and then received custodial custody as a political favor to his very dear friend and disgraced/terminated former Executive Aaron Reardon.

Fixing the cases isn’t just limited to civil public record cases.  Over the last three years, the Gold Bar Reporter has sat in on several criminal cases as well, and what was noted was that when the County wants a Judge to rule against the criminal defendant, Snohomish County sends two county employees in to watch the cases, one Sheriff’s Officer named Snitch, and one Risk Management officer named Keith Mitchell. 

My readers may recall that the Gold Bar Reporter was the first to report on Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon’s theft of Snohomish County monies to fund his extra-marital affairs with Deanna Dawson and a social worker from Snohomish County.   Once we started exposing Deanna Dawson, she and John Pennington came up with a great plan to “throw” the county social worker under the bus to save Aaron Reardon and Deanna Dawson from political ruins. 

For good reason, voters don’t like politicians who cheat on their spouses. 

The Gold Bar Reporter exposed Deanna Dawson, John E Pennington and his public record officer Diana Rose in an article titled “ The Stoning of Tamara Dutton.” 

For Diana Rose’s assisting the racketeering Enterprise, Diana Rose, a mere public record officers with no training in emergency management, received a political appointment with the City of Marysville as the Director of Emergency Management, because oh yes indeed the City of Marysville has so many natural disasters, and needs a public records officer to handle emergencies.  

Stealing from the Marysville’s taxpayers.  

On March 24, 2014, Diana Rose and John E. Pennington caused the deaths of 43 people in the Oso mudslides disaster, because instead of working they were criminally harassing their opponents on a foe website titled “ The Sky Valley Chronicle”  The Chronicle was set up to control the message in Snohomish County on behalf of the Democratic Party of Washington. Owned and operated by Snohomish County employees, Brian Perry, Jon Rudicil, Senator Steve Hobbs, convicted criminal Kevin Thomas Hulton, and John E. Pennington.  In October 2016, Gold Bar’s former Mayor Joe Beavers, a convicted felon, was deposed and admitted that he was also allowed post stories freely on the Sky Valley Chronicle.

Joe Beavers, Crystal Hill Pennington ( convicted bank frauder, and guilty of perjury) and John E. Pennington are being sued for defamation and racketeering.

Although John E. Pennington was fired for criminally harassing people using the Sky Valley Chronicle, Peirce College in Washington State hired him to teach Emergency Management classes (laughable  since caused 43 people to suffocated to death in Oso mudslides and is a wife beater who enjoys taking showers with 6 year old girls).   When the Gold Bar Reporter filed a complaint with the US Department of Education that John E. Pennington had falsified his fraudulent academic credentials, the US Department of Education ordered Peirce College remove John E Pennington’s academic credentials off their website.  John E Pennington bogus online diplomas, paid for a flat fee, have been removed from Pierce College’s website, however, he is still allowed to teach non-degree level classes online.  

Today, we have a new story and racketeering defendant to add, Caroline Darrow, a Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office public record officer, guilty of tampering with public records. 

 The activist said “Caroline Darrow looked like she’s on drugs…”  What’s new inside Snohomish County Washington? 

We are now in the process of running an extensive background check on Caroline Darrow, since we know for certain that many of the public records officers for Snohomish County have shady backgrounds. Five weeks ago, Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office released public record documenting that Snohomish County assisted Crystal Hill Pennington with illegally removing her criminal history from National Crime Information Center (NCIC), a felony in Washington State.

 The Gold Bar Reporter is pursuing perjury charges against Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) after Ms. Hill Berg Pennington appeared “under oath” on April 23, 2017, stating that the Gold bar Reporter was lying about her criminal arrest records ( above). Not sure about our readers, but since Ms. Hill Pennington has a “tramp stamp” just above her anal area, identified by Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office after her arrest record above, public records document Ms. Hill Pennington is not only a convicted bank frauder and a harasser, but also a person with no morals for telling the truth. A lawsuit has been started against Ms. Hill Pennington for defamation.   

The day Snohomish County’s incompetent political appointee killed 43 people in Oso Washington

UPDATE 2018: Since this article was first posted, Snohomish County turned over Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) criminal history records illegally withheld from Snohomish County Prosecutor Sean Reay.

On April 23, 2017, Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) committed perjury in Pierce County District in Penningtons v Block claiming falsely that she has never been arrested for fraud.  Not sure about our readers, but we dont know too many people who are not arrested who were stripped searched and photographed as the NCIC ACCESS records released under RCW 42.56 document.

On March 22, 2014, 43 people were killed in the Oso mudslide.  For years Snohomish County public officials were warned by professional engineers and geologists not to build homes on the slide area, but received permission from the County’s political appointee John E. Pennington who told then executive Aaron Reardon in an email when he asked if it was safe to build there ” It’s good to build boss!”

Geological reports dating back as far as the 1960s documented that the area was unsafe and even FEMA recommended buying out property owners on the slide areas.  However, only one man stood in the way to FEMA efforts to buy out landowners, John E. Pennington.

The only way to make sure our County never does this again is to make sure cockroaches like John E. Pennington are exposed with as much sunshine as Washington State’s open government laws permit.

“Oso, a completely unforeseen event” John E. Pennington  

On March 24, 2014, two days after the slide, John Pennington, Director of Snohomish County’s Department of Emergency Management, finally arrived back from D.C. Public records from FEMA Emergency Management Institute documented that Pennington was moonlighting on the east coast in violation of Snohomish County Ordinance which prohibits salaried employees from other employment.

On March 24, 2014, while at a news conference, John Pennington said  “This was a completely unforeseen slide. This came out of nowhere.”  However,  the Seattle Times article noted previous slides at the same location and years of predictions that more slides were likely at the same location.  Public records retrieved by the Gold Bar Reporter from Snohomish County ( under RCW 42.56) confirmed that although John Pennington publically stated that the County spent millions on mudslide mitigation, public records reveal that John Pennington never discussed nor understood mudslides.

One former Snohomish County DEM employee was asked: Did John Pennington ever discuss mudslides? the employee said ” No, never.”

On March 27, 2014, the Seattle Times  published a 2010 study, commissioned by the county, warned the hillside above Steelhead Drive was one of the most dangerous in the county. According to Rob Flaner, one of the authors of the 2010 report, “For someone to say that this plan did not warn that this was a risk is a falsity.”

In the days following the slide, criticism of Snohomish County officials received national attention in a New York Times, Seattle Times, Time Magazine, Hartford Courant, Washington Post,  and CNN,  reported that in 2004, county officials became concerned about the possibility of a dangerous landslide in the Steelhead Haven area, and considered buying out the homes of that area’s residents.  The idea was rejected with the county building a new wall in an attempt to stabilize the slope. Some disaster experts criticized this decision as a serious mistake.

A week after the Oso mudslide, and only after John Pennington realized that 43 people, many children, were more than likely dead, Pennington was asked again about what residents knew and what they did not, he said ” Every one knew the dangers of Oso!”

Whopper!  Knowing that John Pennington killed 43 people and was allowed to walk away outside of being inside prison lead to a decision to investigate his last 35 years on this planet. Sadly, here’s what we learned since March 22, 2014.

---

We counted ” I was just the Director” 19 times, and ” Stanford Act” 34 times.  What is clear from John Pennington’s deposition is that he was unqualified for Emergency Management Director, and that he was nothing more than a political appointee.

Watch the lips moving which is often associated with lying. It means that whatever the person is saying – he’s not quite sure about it, or he’s uncomfortable in his situation.

 

 

 

From FEMA to Snohomish County Washington and now to Pierce College ( Tacoma Washington diploma mill), dark  secrets unearthed. Gold Bar Reporters were the first to report on John E. Pennington’s criminal conduct, a small portion of our report is outlined below

---

MEET JOHN ‘ THEODORE TED BUNDY” PENNINGTON

John Pennington was a troubled youth who, according to one source “had a major drug problem by the age of 16.”  So it’s no surprise that in the late 1980’s, after being kicked out of Vanderbilt College in Tennessee after raping a female college student, John Pennington moved to a small suburban city just outside of San Diego California.

While in the San Diego area,  John Pennington meets his new victim, who believe he legally married, so are calling her ex-wife # 1, Carla M.

Two years later, John Pennington fled from Southern California, again heading home to Nashville, only after two small boys made allegations of sexual abuse against him while on a church camping trip.

While in Tennessee, John Pennington made an unsuccessful run for an open State Rep. seat.  After a landslide loss for Pennington, he again headed west. This time to Oregon where Pennington meets his next victim.

Mr. Pennington plead guilty to criminal assault 1 and harassment  ( Washington County Case # D911027SC documents property penalties as a result of his assault) after he hospitalized his fiancé in Oregon. A felony that has somehow vanished, partly, except for the property judgment. **

As a result, John Pennington fled from Oregon to Vancouver Washington. While in Vancouver Washington, John Pennington meets his next victim. Sadly, they soon married.

While working in a coffee delivery business, John Pennington stole coffee grinding equipment from his previous employer and used this equipment to start-up a coffee shop in Kelso. Purpose was to make it look like he was an entrepreneur ( but he is really a sociopath) as to grab an uncontested Republican seat in Cowlitz County.

It worked, the uneducated college dropout John Pennington managed to get elected to an uncontested WA House of Representatives seat. Unfortunately for residents in New Orleans and Oso Washington, he met a powerful Washington State Republican leader, Jennifer Dunn.

In 1992, a 5-year-old girl was kidnapped, raped, and then tossed along a Cowlitz County road like a piece of trash.  We sent our private investigators to Cowlitz County to talk with the lead Detective who confirmed the following facts:

John Pennington became one of two prime suspects for the following reasons:

(1) Pennington operated a coffee delivery route within six blocks of where the child was dumped after being raped; (2) he drove the same car; (3) he was in the area at the time of the child rape and could not explain his whereabouts; (4)  his picture from 1992 is a complete match to the child and witness sketch drawing of the pedophile; (5) he relentlessly convinced his ex-wife to call the police attempting to divert attention away from himself and onto another man; and ( 6) He has continuous and countless charges of child and spousal abuse, a man who cannot keep his hands to himself.

Below is the press release as it relates to John E. Pennington’s rape of a 5 year old girl from Cowlitz County Washington

 

Unfortunately for the 5 year child, John Pennington meets a Kelso Washington city attorney named Michael Kenyon.

According to John Pennington’s divorce files he is also an abuser of prescription pills, and was detained at the US Mexico  for having narcotics ( non-prescription pain pills) on his person while coming back into the US. Pennington has never denied this allegation.

In 1995, John Pennington was also a member of the Washington State Militia, a group dedicated to over throwing the United States government. ” John sat around for years obsessed about getting even with the Longview Washington news reporter for reporting that John was a member of the State militia.”

From 1992 to 2005, John Pennington’s violence grew with his ex-wife. # 2, Valerie. From pushing her down a flight of stairs as well as constant physical harassment,  John Pennington never learned to keep his hands to himself.

But the case that raised our eyebrows is Mr. Pennington’s abuse on his ex-wife # 2 ( who is really ex-wife # 3) Anne Laughlin. Ms. Laughlin was a City of Duvall city council member at the time of Pennington’s assault of Anne. Anne was three weeks away from giving birth to her daughter when Pennington violently assaulted, kicked and punched Anne in the stomach and uterus. A real salt of the earth kind of man.

Since Ms. Laughlin was a Duvall city council member at the time, the City of Duvall sought a Special Prosecutor. The prosecutor assigned to prosecute wife beater John Pennington came from the law firm where Pennington’s buddy Michael Kenyon was employed.

In 2009 when Pennington assaulted Laughlin, this was his third domestic violence charge. This should have amounted to jail time for Pennington.

A close review of John Pennington’s Snohomish County travel records warrant a closer look into missing children in Washington, Alaska, Maryland.  Public monies allowed us to review his credit card receipts, telephone records, etc. information that another blogger turned over to authorities.

Any grown man that takes a shower with a six year old little girl is a pedophile.

In 2011, Kenyon Disend’s junior attorney, Ann Marie Soto, received an email from John Pennington via Snohomish County computers demanding that Kenyon Disend redact police reports involving John Pennington criminal harassment and assault that we requested under RCW 42.56.   There’s only one problem, at the time Pennington was communicating with Kenyon Disend’s attorney, he was not a City of Duvall employee thus no attorney client relationship existed.

We sought the advice of an expert in records issues who is of the opinion that Kenyon Disend’s redaction of police reports was not permissible under the Public Records Act.

Then a source close to ex # 2 ( or # 3 depending on what public records you believe as it relates to Pennington’s aliases) provided us with thousands of records relating to John Pennington, and those records included Pennington’s email communication with Duvall’s Mayor about how to get Pennington’s soon to be ex-wife Anne Laughlin off the City Council.

In 2009, Pennington then used Aaron Reardon’s connection to the Seattle Times reporter ( who then became Reardon’s aide) to post a story about Anne Laughlin, pretty much the same way he did to Gold Bar Reporters in February 2012. Former Seattle Times reporter Emily Heffner was contacted for comment but all she would say is ” you need to move because they are coming after you.” She never did state who “they” were, but as we stated to Ms. Heffner before, “We have only one live to give and it shall be for the betterment of our society as a whole.”

As of today, Attorney Michael Kenyon and Ann Marie Soto have bilked the taxpayers of Gold Bar over $1,350,000.00 hidng former Mayor Crystal Hill’s public records ( emails) documenting that she was practicing law without a license, and had lied on her F 1 form stating that she had never pled guilty to fraud when in fact she had plead guilty twice, one in 2000 in North Carolina and a second time in Snohomish County Washington; and John Pennington making racist comments about President Obama and running illegal ACCESS background checks in violation of RCW 10.97.

 

Both Penningtons are being sued for gross 1983 and RICO charges with depositions expected to start early next year.

The bigger question that Michael Kenyon refused to answer was what he gained for quashing John Pennington’s criminal charges for beating up his pregnant wife Anne, hiding John Pennington’s racist comments and his illegal background checks.

According to former Mayor Joe Beavers, John Pennington and Aaron Reardon “fixed” cases in Snohomish County Superior Court.

As a result of our six-year investigation, we are confident to report that attorney Michael Kenyon assisted John Pennington is committing felonies. Attorney Michael Kenyon and John Pennington will be sharing a prison cell together and we intend to make that happen even it takes me another 30 years, and I will continue to request access to public records and file suits against any agency that renders assistance to a pedophile and wife beater.

Our request for access to public records regarding this issue has already started.  The public, especially Pierce College students, have a legal right to know why Pierce College Board of Trustees would hire a child molester ( and according to lead Cowlitz County detective the man who raped a 5 year old girl in 1992) and wife beater.

What John Pennington was trying to hide for so many years, his prior conviction for criminal harassment ( assault of an ex-fiancé in Oregon) as noted in the following public records as “ prior conviction”

In 2000, John Pennington was George Bush Jr’s campaign manager here in Washington State.  Soon after George Bush Jr. was elected ( or stole the election with his brother’s assistance depending what you believe), George Jr. appointed John E Pennington and Michael Browne to positions inside FEMA. Sadly for America, not one FEMA Director was qualified for such positions.

As a result of Michael Browne and John Pennington’s inability to read, write and think effectively caused thousands of minority deaths in Hurricane Katrina.

Hurricane Katrina was an eye opener for those of us who actually earned accredited degrees and whose parents taught us to think critically. George W Bush Jr.’s decision to appoint friends instead of educated and skilled people resulted in massive human loss of life In New Orleans.

Had this story ended in New Orleans, we wouldn’t be exposing John E.Pennington today. But it didn’t, why is simple, because Washington State Senator Jennifer Dunn decided to use her political clout to appoint an uneducated bum to FEMA Region 10 ( Pacific Northwest).

What is even crazier is that George W Bush made an executive appointment without ever running a single background check on John Pennington prior to appointing him.

All that changed when America started calling for Michael Brownie’s head for causing  so many deaths in New Orleans. Perhaps Michael Browne might have survived press scrutiny had he not put in his email that was heading to Nordstroms to purchase new clothes for the cameras, while at the same time thousands of African Americans were floating down the street or in lock down inside an unsafe convention center.

African Americans were drowning in the streets of New Orleans, because FEMA Directors lacked basic college skills to handle such a disaster. In the case of Michael Browne, an unaccredited undergraduate degree as well as unaccredited law school diploma. In the case of John Pennington, an online diploma mill degree from an online school the U.S. Dept of Education said sold online diplomas at a flat rate, California Coastal College.

---

Hurricane Katrina, good bye Brownie, Hello Penny

After Michael Browne and Bernard Kerik made a laughing stock out of the George W and America, George Jr was quoted as saying ‘ Penny will make a great director of FEMA.” This was November 2005. But this time, the feds actually ran an extensive background on John Pennington, and discovered what we learned through years of sifting through public records.  John Pennington is a dangerous sociopath with real anger management issues; anger he often takes out on women and children.

I never really thought much of George W Bush Jr. other than he’s a spolied little rich kid who never worked for a living. For the same reason, I couldn’t vote for Al Gore in 2000. Thus, I became one of Ralph Nader’s Raiders in 2000.

Fact is that I probably ran into John Pennington at the Republican National Convention that year in Philadelphia. I, and 1,000,000. Americans blocked the entrance to the Republican National Convention Center preventing many of George Jr’s delegates from accessing the convention center that year.

I was a proud member of Massachusettes ACT UP from UMASS, and had traveled all over the U.S. protesting what I believed to be unequal treatment of economically disadvantaged Americans in favor of corporations. I’m a strong believer that America should place “ people over profits.”

Strangely, I always had respect for George Bush Sr. Why is simple: George Sr is a well educated savey free thinker who listens to his opponents. Unlike his son, George Jr. , who was given a little too much growing up without working for it.  Hard work goes along way in molding one’s self esteem.

---

In 2005, Michael Browne was blamed for the deaths of thousands, because he was appointed to a position that he wasn’t qualified for.  So when George Jr. had to make a new appointment to FEMA Director, he looked to a devil wrapping himself with pages of the Bible, while at the same time molesting children and violently assaulting a pregnant woman in her third trimester, John E. Pennington.

About two weeks ago ( March 2017) we learned from public record that John Pennington was also autistic. That information was silently withheld from the Oso mudslide plaintiffs’ attorneys ( more on that topic soon).

For those reporting the news in Washington D.C just after George Bush Jr’s FEMA Directors caused so much misery to so many residents and their survivors in New Orleans, Bush Jr. was quoted as saying ” Penny would make a great Director.”

Because the feds didn’t want George Jr. to go through yet another scathing news story like he did when he chose Kerik to head Homeland Security (who ended up being prime suspect in a murder case and had direct ties to organized crime) and Michael Browne and his fake degrees with extensive skills in horse breeding debacles, any appointment would go through extensive background checks prior to Congressional Hearings.

As a result of the feds extensive background check on John Pennington, he was forced to resign from FEMA or be exposed in a very public way. John Pennington lied about his termination from FEMA stating that he and Tamara Doherty were caught misusing the FEMA credit cards.

This was simply a smoke screen to cover up what we just learned from a federal source over Labor Day Weekend.

John Pennington was terminated from FEMA because the feds learned what we reported on over the last seven years; pedophilia deviant uneducated child abuser who has sick fetish for kids, John Pennington. A sociopath who reminds me of Ted Bundy.

Unfortunately for Oso Washington residents,  George W Bush Jr.’s  administration thought it was ok to set him loose on Snohomish County residents just so George Jr didn’t have to suffer public press embarassment again.

---

On March 24, 2014, John Pennington caused 43 residents in Oso Washington to suffocate to death in Washington State’s most preventable loss of life natural disaster. Instead of mitigating loss to human life, John Pennington worked on his fraudulent online diploma, operated his personal business on the County’s dime and while using county resources and staff, violently assaulted children and women, and criminally harassed me right from Snohomish County Offices operating an online blog ” The Sky Valley Chronicle.  “  An online blog owned by Aaron Reardon but operated by Gold Bar’s Mayor Crystal Hill ( nee Berg who plead guilty to bank fraud in 2005), John Pennington,  and Gold Bar’s former Mayor Joe Beavers.

I believe John Pennington should be charged with negligent homicide for the 43 people he killed in the Oso mudslides.

---

Since John E. Pennington killed 43 Oso residents in the mudslides, we have searched his travel records and beleive he is responsible for missing children in four different states, and have ample evidence to state John Pennington is the man responsbile for the rape of that five year old child from Colwitz County Washington.

Sadly, John Pennington remains on the loose up here in Snohomis County. So long as John Pennington remains on the loose, I will continue to investigate and report on his criminal sexual deviant conduct.

Protecting Our children from a sociopath like John Pennington is worth every sacrifice we’ve made as a result  of shinning much needed sunshine on cockroaches who harm molest and abuse our kids. Or perhaps it was John Pennington from an online fraudulent program Senator Tom Harkin called fraudulent on PBS’s “ Education, Inc.”  or California Coastal School that the IRS said sold online diplomas at a flat rate http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/local-fema-chief-had-little-disaster-experience/

Our Children’s mental well being has no price tag.  I agree with Hillary Clinton “ it takes a village to raise children.”

In March 2016, John E Pennington was deposed after victims of the Oso mudslide disaster sued the County and State.  Under oath John E. Pennington admitted that FEMA and the County had a plan four years prior to Oso, but when asked if he implemented it, Pennington answered ” No.”  What attorney Phillips asked where Pennington obtained his college degrees he said ” online.”

Imagine, Snohomish County hires an incompetent diploma mill graduate, and later learns he suffers from mental health issues, was in fact labeled by King County Dr. Hedricks as a “sociopath with no empathy for human life” and is autistic.

Now before my readers send me letters about how autistic and persons with mental health issues can function if treated, I don’t disagree in totality, with one exception, public safety and health is a compelling state interest that outweighs John E Pennington’s rights.  In other words, John Pennington’s disability rights stop when they endanger the lives of others.

For those of us who investigate government criminals like John E Pennington, this new revelation was no surprise as what we were about to uncover about John E Pennington made him unfit  for any position inside public safety.

Our countless attempts over the last eight years fell on deaf ears, why, because Pennington created millions of dollars in liability for not only Snohomish County, but also for the City of Gold Bar and Duvall, Washington.

The City of Duvall and Snohomish County’s Executive Officers “Stoning of Anne Laughlin”

 Aaron Reardon’s left over trash, finally exposed

John E. Pennington (left) and Christopher Schwartzen (left second), Amy Okelander ( center) and Aaron Reardon ( middle right) and John Lovick ( right)

http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/duvall-council-member-faces-residency-hearing/

It took us years to link together how and why the City of Duvall got involved in the largest RICO scandal in Washington State history. After spending thousands of research hours, and hundreds of working hours sifting through over 500,000 public emails, we are now confident to report ” The Stoning of Anne Laughlin” and ” Thwarting any Criminal Prosecution of John E. Pennington, a wife beater from Duvall Washington.”

My only regret is that my hard work attempting to warn the public of just how dangerous and incompetent John E. Pennington was fell on deaf ears. Keeping in mind that I handed a hell of a lot of documents over to every single major media in the Seattle area, but no one seemed interested in exposing John Pennington for the wife/child abuser he is.

Well its time, and my hope is that his victims will be able to heal the wounds of losing children, parents, sisters, fathers, husbands, and wives because Snohomish County refused to take action against a violent corrupt political bum.  Why? Because he had several close political friends connected to Washington State’s Legislature, including but not limited to, Senator Steve Hobbs, John Lovick, Aaron Reardon, Senator Tracey Eide, and Senator Holmquist.

Those who assisted John E. Pennington in trying to SLAPP down my message have blood on their hands for the pain and suffering he caused so many residents in the Oso mudslide debacle, for the harm he has caused four small minor children, and for the countless women he abused. Those responsible for the harm include the Washington State Bar’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel Linda Eide, Doug Ende, and Joseph Nappi Jr, and thief and Washington State Bar Hearing Officer Lin O’Dell.

Stevens County Court in December 2014, Judge Monasmith cited O’Dell for stealing from a vulnerable adult.  The Washington State Bar Office of Disciplinary counsel, specifically Laura Cantrell, gave Lin O’Dell a pass to steal by refusing to start an investigation on O’Dell.

Simply put, if you are a member of the Washington State Bar Hearing Officers panel you get a license to steal from our elderly. Sadly, our investigation confirms that five other attorneys associated with the Office are also stealing from our elderly, and in the case of Lin O’Dell she stole horses from several of her clients and transported them across state lines to her ranch in New Mexico.   Complaints have been filed against O’Dell with the proper authorities.

Washington State’s Public Records Act, RCW 42.56, a very powerful tool in exposing corruption inside government

For those of you who know me well, you know that I love America more than any other place on this planet. I feel very lucky, as a female to be an American. Most important to me is the First Amendment to the US Constitution, which allowed me to write, investigate and report on corruption with little government interference.

Unfortunately reporting didn’t come without a price. I lost seven years of my life because a government officer was given unlimited power to harass me right from Snohomish County DEM office, during county time, and after I made countless police reports against his criminal conduct. Every single police report I filed remains ignored.

The county’s blatant disregard for my civil rights left me with no other alternative but to investigate and report the story myself; and I filed suit under RICO and 42 USC 1983.

I write this story after two great investigators from PSI Investigations agreed to help when no one else would. They were personally attacked on John Pennington’s Sky Valley Chronicle for assisting me in finding out who was posting threats to harm me and partner on a anonymous website. Today, because of PSI Investigations, I am confident to report that the Sky Valley Chronicle is operated by John and Crystal Pennington as well as Gold Bar’s former Mayor Joe Beavers. Three criminals who obstructed justice, covered up Pennington’s crimes as stated herein, and turned their criminal RICO activities on those who sought to expose John E. Pennington for the criminal he is.

I want to thank all supporters of Washington Coalition for Open Government, if it were not for open government, people like Pennington’s and Beavers would have stayed under the radar. Now, with Lori Batoit’s personal cell phone and private emails mandated to be searched under Washington State’s Public Records Act, perhaps John E. Pennington’s victims will see justice. Unfortunately, because the Washington State Bar’s political machine attacked my message instead of investigating John E. Pennington, 44 people are dead in Oso Washington. I rightfully blame the Washington State Bar Office of Disciplinary Counsel for spitting on my 1^st Amendment rights in an effort to SLAPP down the messenger.

From public records, we have reason to believe that John E. Pennington was bribing Washington State Hearing Officer Lin O’Dell via a USPS Post Office box O’Dell’s convicted killer boyfriend Mark Plivilech set up just three blocks from the Penningtons’ home in Duvall.  O’Dell and Plivilech live four hours away in Spokane, but soon after O’ Dell was assigned to investigate Pennington’s witness statement filed against  Gold Bar Reporter Anne Block attempting to SLAPP down her message, O’Dell and Plivilech all of the sudden chose the little city of  Duvall for their new post office box.

John E. Pennington and his couterparts, mainly connected to Executive Aaron Reardon’s gang, are the most dangerous people that I’ve ever had the displeasure of reporting about.  The threats to my life, property and liberties because I simply wanted to live in a clean and open government should be in every law school ethics class in the United States. Reardon’s gangs conduct threatens our democracy, undermines voters confidence in our judicial system and brought Snohomish County government to a stand still.

After this story, I am going to take a break from investigative blogging diverting my attention toward rebuilding what Reardon’s gang stole from me over the last seven years sitting along the banks of Sebago Lake in Maine writing the final chapter in my book,  “No sunshine where the cockroaches roam.”    My final chapter will be titled  “Reforming the Washington State Bar, taking politics out of the practice of law. ” The final chapter to be written over the next year.

What happened to me for simply requesting access to public records, a statutory right,  should never happen to another journalist lawyer, and those who assisted John E. Pennington’s corrupt political attack against my bar license for simply reporting on corruption are the greatest threats to our democracy. As such, I am calling for the criminal prosecution of Washington State Bar’s lead counsel Linda Eide, Joseph Nappi Jr., and hearing officer Lin O’Dell.

 

JOHN PENNINGTON’S DIVORCE RECORDS FROM ANNE LAUGHLIN

When our stellar Department of Emergency Management Director (DEM) John E. Pennington beat the shit out of his ex-wife Anne Laughlin three weeks before she gave birth to her daughter, Ms. Laughlin was an elected sitting City of Duvall city council member.

Our good friends from Snohomish County’s Executive Office, also referred by us as Reardon’s gang, went after John Pennington’s ex-wife Anne Laughlin’s career in a very public way. The Seattle Times, a friend to Aaron Reardon’s  executive’s Executive publicist Chris Schwarzten, was eager to assist ( see link above). Mr. Schwarzten is a former Seattle Times reporter who gave Johnny a helping hand writing and publishing the article we titled ” The Stoning of Anne Laughlin.”

But the Seattle Times wasn’t the only able bodied person to assist dear ole Johnny boy. According to John Pennington divorce files, John Pennington had a little help from Duvall’s Mayor.  In Laughlin’s divorce files, emails between Duvall’s Mayor and John Pennington document collusion immediately following Anne Laughlin fleeing for her life from John Pennington’s sociopathic violent abuse. Both Pennington and Mayor Will Isholf were discussing how to oust Laughlin from the city council so they could implant one of Reardon’s gang members, Amy Ockerlander.

According to Ms. Ockerlander’s Linked In page brags that she was a member of Reardon’s gang from July 2007 to January 2011.  She oversaw state and federal legislative affairs for the Executive Office and its departments, including managing state and federal contract lobbyists, working with departments and County Council to develop annual legislative agenda, monitoring priority legislation, securing committee testimony and working with state association.

There’s only one problem for Ms. Okelander’s Linked In page, using public resources for political lobbying violates Washington State’s Public Disclosure laws.

Ms. Ockerlander’s allegiance to protect Reardon’s gang members is the sole reason why John Pennington and Duvall’s Mayor handpicked Ms. Ockerlander once they managed to thwart the democratic rights of the voters. Our counsel states that this conduct is a predicate act under RICO.

Is this RICO Conduct?

We will let our readers be the judge, we are simply reporting what we are seeing inside records, which we believe does amount to criminal RICO violations.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racketeer_Influenced_and_Corrupt_Organizations_Act#RICO_predicate_offenses

When John Pennington beat up his pregnant wife Anne Laughlin, he was engaged in an extramarital affair with Gold Bar’s Mayor Crystal Hill.  From Gold Bar’s public emails from July 2007, we know that John Pennington and Crystal Hill started their affair at a little cabin inside the Alpine Lakes District.   Pennington married Anne Laughlin in September 2007.

In May 2009, then Gold Bar Mayor Crystal Hill acting as John Pennington’s legal counsel wrote, filed, and served John Pennington’s divorce pleadings on Anne Laughlin. Crystal Hill was not a lawyer, but a paralegal for the Law Firm of Mark Weiss in Seattle.  A job she was fired from after Mark Weiss was contacted by another Gold Bar Reporter asking him to preserve our public records involving Hill’s unlawful practice of law pursuant to Washington State’s Public Records Act.

As a result Crystal Hill’s unlawful practice of law, Mark Weiss fired her.  Unfortunately for my city, Crystal Hill disseminated her unlawful practice of law into Gold Bar and Snohomish County’s public records.

When I learned about Crystal Hill’s unlawful practice of law costing John Pennington’s ex-wives over $150,000.00, I contacted Gold Bar’s new Mayor Joe Beavers seeking access to our records. Had Mr. Beavers simply complied with the Public Records Act, the City of Gold Bar would not be facing major financial issues today. Instead Beavers stole from our city’s water and street funds to fund the cover up Hill and Pennington’s crimes, another predicate act under RICO. As of today, the cost to the City of Gold Bar has exceeded over $1,000,000.00 with no end in sight.

Complaints were filed with the Washington State Bar, specifically lead counsel Linda Eide, who refused to take any criminal action against Crystal Hill for the unlawful practice of law. Why, well that took us a few months, but we soon learned that Ms. Linda Eide is a personal friend to John E. Pennington, and a close relative to Senator Tracy Eide. Senator Eide is a personal friend to Senator Steve Hobbs and John E. Pennington. Linda Eide should have recused herself if she were an ethical honest person, but after reading Robert Grunstein’s book  ” Vendetta” I believe Linda Eide should be in jail for fraud; Ms. Eide will also be subject for deep discussion in my book as this is not the first time she’s committed RICO offenses against WSBA members.

Robert Grunstein’s book Vendetta can be purchased through Amazon

Once I started requesting copies of John E. Pennington’s emails in early 2009, Pennington began a six year campaign to harass , defame, and discredit me.  One former Gold Bar council member said ” the City’s strategy was to out money you, then defame and harass, and when that didn’t work they went to discredit you.”  A clear RICO.

Snohomish County Superior Court’s judicial assistance to a wife/child abuser

In 2007, after constant physical and emotional abuse, John E. Pennington’s first wife, Valerie, filed for divorce from John E. Pennington.

According to our legal counsel, John Pennington’s divorce files are public records, unless you live in Snohomish County. In February 2008, then Executive Aaron Reardon’s personal friend Judge Eric Lucas sealed John Pennington’s divorce records,  Case Number: 05-2-00096-0. 

A couple of years ago I remember thinking ” Wow, Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Lucas sealed a political friend’s divorce records? Is that even legal?  What ever is behind the curtain it must be good!

Since I am no open government expert, I called my then legal counsel seeking an opinion on whether or not Judge Lucas can lawfully seal court records.

My counsel said ” no” there’s actually a court case on point as it relates to sealing court files. My counsel even suggested that I write to Judge Lucas asking him to voluntarily unseal Pennington’s divorce files citing a new case from Our Court. So I did, and the response I got back was less than responsive, and by memory it went something like this, Ms. Block you know the law, bring the proper motion. I remember thinking WOW!  I quote a new law to a Superior Court Judge who is sworn in to uphold the law and he tells me to file a motion to unseal public records. What the hell is going on inside Snohomish County Superior Court?

From our sources, we understand that its John E. Pennington’s mental health issues. Normally, we could care less about a person’s mental health history, but after Mr. Pennington failed to mitigate a single death in the Oso mudslide debacle resulting in the deaths of 44 people, I believe it’s time to start that process. I cant stop seeing the images of a small infant being pulled from the mud, dead, lifeless, not breathing, suffocating in mud, and because a uneducated wife/child abuser criminally harassed me instead of mitigating.

Thus I will be bringing a motion to unseal John Pennington’s divorce records, records that Judge Eric Lucas should be unsealing to comply with our Court’s rulings, just as Judge Wynne did. And for those of you who know me personally, I think Judge Wynne is part of the problem up here in Snohomish County, but I do commend him for complying with our court’s holding.

Judge Eric Lucas needs some sunlight.

I’d like my readers to know that it took me a long time to put this story together because Snohomish County DEM tampered with so many of our public records that my counsel and I believe its a felony.  This resulted in a lawsuit seeking access to our records filed in Skagit County Court.

Former DEM public records officer Diana Rose admitted under oath that she removed public records from the County and brought them to the City of Gold Bar, specifcally into the hands of Gold Bar’s then Mayor Joe Beavers. In our opinion both are guilty of felonies.

And then comes Judge Richard Okrent, a political bum for Executive Aaron Reardon. Okrent was subject of a past article after I learned what his function is ” To make criminals out of non-criminals, just like the Nazis did to the Jews”

Judge Richard Okrent

I must admit it took me some time to figure out why another blogger and I are so closely connected, not just in spirit but also in experiences. Well it’s because of one corrupt Snohomish County Judge named Richard Okrent.

In 2009, Gold Bar’s appointed Mayor Joe Beavers called unopposed city council member Chuck Lie asking for a one on one meeting. Both met at the Dutch Cup, a little grease pit owned by Sultan Mayor Carolyn Eslick. At this meeting, Joe Beavers Mayor Joe Beavers was bragging about how he had Snohomish County Judges in his pocket, implying that the fix was already in.  Years later we soon learned that Judge Richard Okrent was not a random preassignment, he was intentionally placed on Block v. Gold Bar, just as he was on City of Everett v. Tammu.

In Block’s case it was because several Snohomish County employees disseminated Gold Bar Reporter’s Bar application file ( amounting to theft) and John Pennington ran illegal background checks on Block and her family members. In Tammu, Okrent was brought in to SLAPP down a fantastic reporter because City of Everett attorney Michael Fisher didn’t like her anti-corruption message. Today, Ms. Tammu operates http://www.snocoreporter.com and receives thousands of clicks a day.  A job well done Mr. Fisher.

John E. Pennington’s domestic spying games has proven costly to both the City of Gold Bar and Snohomish County; and I am now focusing in on the City of Duvall, specifically one corrupt police officer named Lori Batoit.

Late yesterday, we did learn that Lori Batoit is a personal friend of John and Crystal  Pennington, and very close friend to a former fire chief convicted of pedophilia in Brier. The former Brier employee was convicted for pedophilia, and with no surprise he also a dear friend to John E. Pennington.

For this reason, we intend to shine a hell of a lot of sunlight on Duvall Officer Lori Batoit. Ms. Batoit left an extortionist voice message last week, threatened to criminally prosecute our investigators for investigating her involvement with John E. Pennington, and we intend to expose her involvement in obstructing the many criminal complaints filed against John E. Pennington. We smell a dirty cop. More on Lori Batoit’s involvement in all of this soon.

Some readers asked me if it was fair to blame John Lovick, we answer that question. John Lovick was the Snohomish County Sheriff who refused to investigate my criminal complaints, and refused to run a criminal background check on on John E. Pennington.  John Lovick, just as Aaron Reardon’s career is over thanks to his refusal to listen to his constituents.

A source inside Snohomish County called me to let me know that John Lovick terminated John E. Pennington yesterday. As of today, the County has refused to make an official statement.  We sure hope that the mounds of evidence we collected and turned over to his victims had some part in exposing John E. Pennington as the wife/child abuser he is.

I make no distinction between my daughter and my neighbors child. We must do everything in our power to expose abusive people like John E. Pennington. I agree with Hillary Clinton on this issue ” it takes a village to raise children.”

The price I paid for exposing a child abuser hiding in our government offices is well worth it so long as I save one child from being abused.

“The happiest people I have known have been those who gave themselves no concern about their own souls, but did their uttermost to mitigate the miseries of others.”

From FEMA to Snohomish County, to Pierce County Washington, “Lunatic on the loose”

On February 22, 2017, Pierce College public official and man responsible for killing of 43 people in the Oso mudslides, John E. Pennington, verbally assaulted a Pierce County Sheriff’s Officer caught on camera.  He also verbally threatened the Gold Bar Reporter’s process server who served John Pennington with more complaints and a subpoena.

Unfortunately, John Pennington’s criminal conduct was caught on camera and witnessed by several onlookers at the Piece County Courthouse, including three Sherriff’s Officers.

The Gold Bar Reporters recently learned that John Pennington has been treated for major mental health problems, and was kicked out of Vanderbilt College as a result.

Imagine a man with mental health problems sat as a Director of Emergency Management of Snohomish County.  A major breach to health and welfare to the taxpayers of Washington State.

---

John Pennington is being sued for his latest racketeering crimes and posting defamatory and untrue statements on a website he and his bank frauding wife Crystal Hill Pennington run titled  ” The Sky Valley Chronicle.”  Both were served with new complaints on Thursday, and by John Pennington’s threats and tactics to intimidate court officers were witnessed on camera.

” Looney Tunes, What’s up Doc? ”

“Lunatic on the loose” John E Pennington has been trying for over eight years to obtain a prior restraint on free speech against the Gold Bar Reporter’s reports on his and our former bank frauding Mayor Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg, bank fraud Snohomish County, Washington 2005).    Why, to hide their criminal racketeering conduct the Gold Bar Reporter have been exposing for over the last ten years, including a foe online website the Penningtons set up to cyber-stalk their opponents.

Gold Bar’s Mayor Joe Beavers was deposed in November 2016, and he too admitted he was a anonymous cyber-stalker on the Penningtons’ website while he was a Gold Bar public official. Beavers and the City are being sued for gross civil rights violations.

On Thursday February 22, 2017, the lunatics tried for the tenth time to obtain a restraining order against the Gold Bar Reporter, but this time forum shopping in Pierce County.  A county where Crystal Hill Pennington doesn’t live and a county where John Pennington managed to fraud state taxpayers ( and our children) with false academic credentials obtaining a job teaching our youngsters.

Imagine you sign up for Homeland Security degree at Pierce College and your classes are being taught by a man who has admitted to having and using false academic credentials

VERBALLY ASSAULTING COURT OFFICERS

Pierce College, Tacoma, instructor, caught forging court record

John E. Pennington, terminated from FEMA and Snohomish County for conduct unbecoming of a public officer, now caught forging documents with Pierce County District Court

---

 

John E. Pennington, an instructor with Pierce College,  caught forging a court record last week in Tacoma, Washington.

It all started when the Gold Bar Reporter did what we’re supposed to do as a journalist, contacted him for comment about an upcoming article involving his false academic credentials.  Credentials John Pennington placed into public records at Pierce College, fraudulently obtaining a teaching position, a crime in Washington State.

RCW 9A.60.070

In 2005, the Seattle Times published a story about John Pennington’s academic school of choice correctly stating the IRS held that California Coastal College ( John E. Pennington’s online school of choice) sold degrees at a flat rate.”

See http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/local-fema-chief-had-little-disaster-experience/

False fraudulent academic diplomas managed to slip by former Executive Aaron Reardon ( who the Gold Bar Reporter proudly got rid of as the criminal harasser he is as evidenced by the Snohomish County Herald’s Feb 13, 2013 article http://201-dhwebvarnish.newscyclecloud.com/article/20130214/NEWS01/702149999 ) inside Snohomish County’s Emergency Management too.

This  contributed to the deaths (Black’s law dictionary, negligent homicide equates to killing) of 43 people in the Oso mudslides disaster. Had Snohomish County had an educated person at the helm of Emergency Management, 43 people would more than likely be alive today.

King County’s Major Crimes Unit public records document that Aaron Reardon’s executive officers had so much time on their hands to post defamatory articles on a website the trio set up titled ” The Sky Valley Chronicle” – a website to control the political message in the Sky Valley ( Monroe to Index).

John E. Pennington’s wife Crystal Hill Pennington was anonymously cyber-stalking anyone who dared question Aaron Reardon’s gang of thieves. Gold Bar’s Mayor Joe Beavers admitted under oath a deposition two weeks ago that he too was cyber-stalking people on the Sky Valley Chronicle.

Crystal Hill Pennington’s deposition is scheduled for December 6, 2016, and an update will follow.

Now this, Pierce College Trustees hired a man with fake credentials who killed 43 people, beats on women and abuses our kids?  What the hell  is going on inside Washington State that a man who has harmed so many people is allowed to fraud our future leaders?

Our kids deserve much more, as such, the Gold Bar Reporter filed a complaint against Pierce College, Tacoma, with the U.S. Department of Education as this is fraud.

In 2013, John E. Pennington, a resident of Duvall, Washington, applied for a position on the Duvall Washington Library Board. Pennington’s application was rejected, the basis according to the Board Chair  ” he had no respect for the First Amendment.”

So its no surprise that once we started investigating John E. Pennington false credentials by requesting access to public records at Pierce College ( RCW 42.56), John E. Pennington committed more fraud, but this time on Pierce College’s dime.

On October 24, 2016, a forged Snohomish County Process of Service paper was filed by Penningtons whiting it out ( forgery)  knowingly falsely filing an instrument with a public office.

On October 27, 2016, John E. Pennington appeared in front of Pierce County District Court ( where he nor his wife resides), sworn in captured on video camera, falsely certifying under oath that he served the Gold Bar Reporter with his petition for restraining order  ( prior restraint on free speech prohibited in the U.S.), attempting to SLAPP down the Gold Bar Reporter’s message.

A First Amendment lawyer stated ” Prior Restraints on free speech in America are considered a violation of my civil rights.”

According to the Snohomish County Sherriff’s Office, John E. Pennington forged the original document, and the unforged document delivered to John Pennington is this one:

After John E.Pennington forged the document:

SLAPP suits carry a $10, 0000.00per offense penalty.  An issue we suspect John E. Pennington could care less about as public records document that he cant pay his mortgage, so what’s a judgment for $50K?

Congrads to Pierce College, Tacoma, Washington, not only did the Board of Trustees hire a child/wife abuser, they also hired a man now guilty of perjury and forgery.

The Gold Bar Reporter filed a new complaint in King County seeking damages, and a Writ and Injunction ordering Pierce County off this case as not one person John Pennington fraudulently obtained a restraining order against lives in Pierce County.

The Gold Bar Reporter is seeking an additional $50,000.00 from the marital community of the Crystal Hill and John E. Pennington’s for severe emotional distress.

Late yesterday, we learned that Pierce County District  ” vacated” the restraining order and there is a criminal felony investigation under way against John E. Pennington and Crystal Hill Pennington (convicted of bank fraud,2005, 2000) and the case will be transferred to King County ( where according to the documents below, John E. Pennington has had countless criminal harassment complaints against him in King County).

John E. Pennington is the same political appointee who the Seattle Times quoted as saying Washington State’s largest slide area was “Considered very safe.”

As the Seattle Times reporter Mike Cater ( also the reporter who reported on Pennington fake academic credentials) wrote “It was considered very safe,” Pennington said. “This was a completely unforeseen slide. This came out of nowhere.”

John Pennington’s statements about the Oso mudslides were in complete contrast Daniel Miller, a geomorph­ologist, who wrote about Oso landslide conditions in his 1997 report for the Washington Department of Ecology and the Tulalip Tribes. Miller used reports and memos from the 1950s, 1960s, 1980s and 1990s, to support his 1997 report that the Oso area was unstable and should be evacuated.

Miller also stated that he was stunned and troubled to return to the area in 2006, to see new homes being built instead of  seeing homes being vacated.

Miller said “Frankly, I was shocked that the county permitted any building across from the river. . . It’s not unknown that this hazard exists.”

Miller contracted with the Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Forest Service in 1997.

Immediately following the Oso mudslide disaster, the Gold Bar Reporter contacted Miller asking him ” if John E. Pennington’s email showed that he ( Pennington) approved building on the Oso mudslide area, do you think he should be charged with negligent homicide?   He said ” if you have that kind of email, then Jay Inslee should order an outside agency to investigate John Pennington’s background.”  We said ” we already did… and Snohomish County was aware that John Pennington had falsified his academic  credentials and had countless abuse charges filed against him for criminal harassment and beating women. ” Miller’s voice crackled, and he sounded scared or tearful and hung up.

Obviously, Pierce College ( Tacoma) is a public agency subject to RCW 42.56, the Public Records Act.  Too bad, John Pennington’s conduct is subject to public scrutiny.

Perhaps Pennington’s next job will actually require working, preferably in private industry, so several investigative reporters and I can sleep at night.  Our children are  worthy of our efforts to protect their future to be educated by people who have real college degrees.

Once the Department of Education issues its findings in this matter, it will be posted.  Fraud like this harms all of us, and dummies down the U.S. educational system and will not go unchecked by the Gold Bar Reporter.

MEET JOHN ‘ THEODORE TED BUNDY” PENNINGTON

John Pennington was a troubled youth who, according to one source “had a major drug problem by the age of 16.”  So it’s no surprise that in the late 1980’s, after being kicked out of Vanderbilt College in Tennessee after raping a female college student, John Pennington moved to a small suburban city just outside of San Diego California.

While in the San Diego area,  John Pennington meets his new victim, who believe he legally married, so are calling her ex-wife # 1, Carla M.

Two years later, John Pennington fled from Southern California, again heading home to Nashville, only after two small boys made allegations of sexual abuse against him while on a church camping trip.

While in Tennessee, John Pennington made an unsuccessful run for an open State Rep. seat.  After a landslide loss for Pennington, he again headed west. This time to Oregon where Pennington meets his next victim.

Mr. Pennington plead guilty to criminal assault 1 and harassment  ( His ex filed suit for damages Washington County Case # D911027SC) after he hospitalized his fiancé in Oregon and stole items from the community.

As a result, John Pennington fled from Oregon to Vancouver Washington. While in Vancouver Washington, John Pennington meets his next victim. Sadly, they soon married.

While working in a coffee delivery business, John Pennington stole coffee grinding equipment from his previous employer and used this equipment to start-up a coffee shop in Kelso. Purpose was to make it look like he was an entrepreneur ( but he is really a sociopath) as to grab an uncontested Republican seat in Cowlitz County.

It worked, the uneducated college dropout John Pennington managed to get elected to an uncontested WA House of Representatives seat. Unfortunately for residents in New Orleans and Oso Washington, he met a powerful Washington State Republican leader, Jennifer Dunn.

In 1992, a 5-year-old girl was kidnapped, raped, and then tossed along a Cowlitz County road like a piece of trash.  We sent our private investigators to Cowlitz County to talk with the lead Detective who confirmed the following facts:

John Pennington became one of two prime suspects for the following reasons:

(1) Pennington operated a coffee delivery route within six blocks of where the child was dumped after being raped; (2) he drove the same car; (3) he was in the area at the time of the child rape and could not explain his whereabouts; (4)  his picture from 1992 is a complete match to the child and witness sketch drawing of the pedophile; (5) he relentlessly convinced his ex-wife to call the police attempting to divert attention away from himself and onto another man; and ( 6) He has continuous and countless charges of child and spousal abuse, a man who cannot keep his hands to himself.

Below is the press release as it relates to John E. Pennington’s rape of a 5 year old girl from Cowlitz County Washington

 

Unfortunately for the 5 year child, John Pennington meets a Kelso Washington city attorney named Michael Kenyon.

According to John Pennington’s divorce files he is also an abuser of prescription pills, and was detained at the US Mexico  for having narcotics ( non-prescription pain pills) on his person while coming back into the US. Pennington has never denied this allegation.

In 1995, John Pennington was also a member of the Washington State Militia, a group dedicated to over throwing the United States government. ” John sat around for years obsessed about getting even with the Longview Washington news reporter for reporting that John was a member of the State militia.”

From 1992 to 2005, John Pennington’s violence grew with his ex-wife. # 2, Valerie. From pushing her down a flight of stairs as well as constant physical harassment,  John Pennington never learned to keep his hands to himself.

But the case that raised our eyebrows is Mr. Pennington’s abuse on his ex-wife # 2 ( who is really ex-wife # 3) Anne Laughlin. Ms. Laughlin was a City of Duvall city council member at the time of Pennington’s assault of Anne. Anne was three weeks away from giving birth to her daughter when Pennington violently assaulted, kicked and punched Anne in the stomach and uterus. A real salt of the earth kind of man.

Since Ms. Laughlin was a Duvall city council member at the time, the City of Duvall sought a Special Prosecutor. The prosecutor assigned to prosecute wife beater John Pennington came from the law firm where Pennington’s buddy Michael Kenyon was employed.

In 2009 when Pennington assaulted Laughlin, this was his third domestic violence charge. This should have amounted to jail time for Pennington.

A close review of John Pennington’s Snohomish County travel records warrant a closer look into missing children in Washington, Alaska, Maryland.  Public monies allowed us to review his credit card receipts, telephone records, etc. information that another blogger turned over to authorities.

Any grown man that takes a shower with a six year old little girl is a pedophile.

In 2011, Kenyon Disend’s junior attorney, Ann Marie Soto, received an email from John Pennington via Snohomish County computers demanding that Kenyon Disend redact police reports involving John Pennington criminal harassment and assault that we requested under RCW 42.56.   There’s only one problem, at the time Pennington was communicating with Kenyon Disend’s attorney, he was not a City of Duvall employee thus no attorney client relationship existed.

We sought the advice of an expert in records issues who is of the opinion that Kenyon Disend’s redaction of police reports was not permissible under the Public Records Act.

Then a source close to ex # 2 ( or # 3 depending on what public records you believe as it relates to Pennington’s aliases) provided us with thousands of records relating to John Pennington, and those records included Pennington’s email communication with Duvall’s Mayor about how to get Pennington’s soon to be ex-wife Anne Laughlin off the City Council.

In 2009, Pennington then used Aaron Reardon’s connection to the Seattle Times reporter ( who then became Reardon’s aide) to post a story about Anne Laughlin, pretty much the same way he did to Gold Bar Reporters in February 2012. Former Seattle Times reporter Emily Heffner was contacted for comment but all she would say is ” you need to move because they are coming after you.” She never did state who “they” were, but as we stated to Ms. Heffner before, “We have only one live to give and it shall be for the betterment of our society as a whole.”

As of today, Attorney Michael Kenyon and Ann Marie Soto have bilked the taxpayers of Gold Bar over $1,350,000.00 hidng former Mayor Crystal Hill’s public records ( emails) documenting that she was practicing law without a license, and had lied on her F 1 form stating that she had never pled guilty to fraud when in fact she had plead guilty twice, one in 2000 in North Carolina and a second time in Snohomish County Washington; and John Pennington making racist comments about President Obama and running illegal ACCESS background checks in violation of RCW 10.97.

Both Penningtons are being sued for gross 1983 and RICO charges with depositions expected to start early next year.

The bigger question that Michael Kenyon refused to answer was what he gained for quashing John Pennington’s criminal charges for beating up his pregnant wife Anne, hiding John Pennington’s racist comments and his illegal background checks.

According to former Mayor Joe Beavers, John Pennington and Aaron Reardon “fixed” cases in Snohomish County Superior Court.

As a result of our six-year investigation, we are confident to report that attorney Michael Kenyon assisted John Pennington is committing felonies. Attorney Michael Kenyon and John Pennington will be sharing a prison cell together and we intend to make that happen even it takes me another 30 years, and I will continue to request access to public records and file suits against any agency that renders assistance to a pedophile and wife beater.

Our request for access to public records regarding this issue has already started.  The public, especially Pierce College students, have a legal right to know why Pierce College Board of Trustees would hire a child rapist and wife beater.

What John Pennington was trying to hide for so many years, his prior conviction for criminal harassment ( assault of an ex-fiancé in Oregon) as noted in the following public records as “ prior conviction”

In 2000, John Pennington was George Bush Jr’s campaign manager here in Washington State.  Soon after George Bush Jr. was elected ( or stole the election with his brother’s assistance depending what you believe), George Jr. appointed John E Pennington and Michael Browne to positions inside FEMA. Sadly for America, not one FEMA Director was qualified for such positions.

As a result of Michael Browne and John Pennington’s inability to read, write and think effectively caused thousands of minority deaths in Hurricane Katrina.

Hurricane Katrina was an eye opener for those of us who actually earned accredited degrees and whose parents taught us to think critically. George W Bush Jr.’s decision to appoint friends instead of educated and skilled people resulted in massive human loss of life In New Orleans.

Had this story ended in New Orleans, we wouldn’t be exposing John E.Pennington today. But it didn’t, why is simple, because Washington State Senator Jennifer Dunn decided to use her political clout to appoint an uneducated bum to FEMA Region 10 ( Pacific Northwest).

What is even crazier is that George W Bush made an executive appointment without ever running a single background check on John Pennington prior to appointing him.

All that changed when America started calling for Michael Brownie’s head for causing  so many deaths in New Orleans. Perhaps Michael Browne might have survived press scrutiny had he not put in his email that was heading to Nordstroms to purchase new clothes for the cameras, while at the same time thousands of African Americans were floating down the street or in lock down inside an unsafe convention center.

African Americans were drowning in the streets of New Orleans, because FEMA Directors lacked basic college skills to handle such a disaster. In the case of Michael Browne, an unaccredited undergraduate degree as well as unaccredited law school diploma. In the case of John Pennington, an online diploma mill degree from an online school the U.S. Dept of Education said sold online diplomas at a flat rate, California Coastal College.

Hurricane Katrina, good bye Brownie, Hello Penny

After Michael Browne and Bernard Kerik made a laughing stock out of the George W and America, George Jr was quoted as saying ‘ Penny will make a great director of FEMA.”This was November 2005. But this time, the feds actually ran an extensive background on John Pennington, and discovered what we learned through years of sifting through public records. John Pennington is a dangerous sociopath with real anger management issues; anger he often takes out on women and children.

I never really thought much of George W Bush Jr. other than he’s a spolied little rich kid who never worked for a living. For the same reason, I couldn’t vote for Al Gore in 2000. Thus, I became one of Ralph Nader’s Raiders in 2000.

Fact is that I probably ran into John Pennington at the Republican National Convention that year in Philadelphia. I, and 1,000,000. Americans blocked the entrance to the Republican National Convention Center preventing many of George Jr’s delegates from accessing the convention center that year.

I was a proud member of Massachusettes ACT UP from UMASS, and had traveled all over the U.S. protesting what I believed to be unequal treatment of economically disadvantaged Americans in favor of corporations. I’m a strong believer that America should place “ people over profits.”

Strangely, I always had respect for George Bush Sr. Why is simple: George Sr is a well educated savey free thinker who listens to his opponents. Unlike his son, George Jr. , who was given a little too much growing up without working for it.  Hard work goes along way in molding one’s self esteem.

---

In 2005, Michael Browne was blamed for the deaths of thousands, because he was appointed to a position that he wasn’t qualified for.  So when George Jr. had to make a new appointment to FEMA Director, he looked to a devil wrapping himself with pages of the Bible, while at the same time molesting children and violently assaulting a pregnant woman in her third trimester, John E. Pennington.

For those reporting the news in Washington D.C just after George Bush Jr’s FEMA Directors caused so much misery to so many residents and their survivors in New Orleans, Bush Jr. was quoted as saying ” Penny would make a great Director.”

Because the feds didn’t want George Jr. to go through yet another scathing news story like he did when he chose Kerik to head Homeland Security (who ended up being prime suspect in a murder case and had direct ties to organized crime) and Michael Browne and his fake degrees with extensive skills in horse breeding debacles, any appointment would go through extensive background checks prior to Congressional Hearings.

As a result of the feds extensive background check on John Pennington, he was forced to resign from FEMA or be exposed in a very public way. John Pennington lied about his termination from FEMA stating that he and Tamara Doherty were caught misusing the FEMA credit cards.

This was simply a smoke screen to cover up what we just learned from a federal source over Labor Day Weekend.

John Pennington was terminated from FEMA because the feds learned what we reported on over the last seven years; pedophilia deviant uneducated child abuser who has sick fetish for kids, John Pennington. A sociopath who reminds me of Ted Bundy.

Unfortunately for Oso Washington residents,  George W Bush Jr.’s  administration thought it was ok to set him loose on Snohomish County residents just so George Jr didn’t have to suffer public press embarassment again.

---

On March 24, 2014, John Pennington caused 43 residents in Oso Washington to suffocate to death in Washington State’s most preventable loss of life natural disaster. Instead of mitigating loss to human life, John Pennington worked on his fraudulent online diploma, operated his personal business on the County’s dime and while using county resources and staff, violently assaulted children and women, and criminally harassed me right from Snohomish County Offices operating an online blog ” The Sky Valley Chronicle.  “  An online blog owned by Aaron Reardon but operated by Gold Bar’s Mayor Crystal Hill ( nee Berg who plead guilty to bank fraud in 2005), John Pennington,  and Gold Bar’s former Mayor Joe Beavers.

I believe John Pennington should be charged with negligent homicide for the 43 people he killed in the Oso mudslides.

---

Since John E. Pennington killed 43 Oso residents in the mudslides, we have searched his travel records and beleive he is responsible for missing children in four different states, and have ample evidence to state John Pennington is the man responsbile for the rape of that five year old child from Colwitz County Washington.

Sadly, John Pennington remains on the loose up here in Snohomis County. So long as John Pennington remains on the loose, I will continue to investigate and report on his criminal sexual deviant conduct.

Protecting Our children from a sociopath like John Pennington is worth every sacrifice we’ve made as a result  of shinning much needed sunshine on cockroaches who harm molest and abuse our kids.

Our Children’s mental well being has no price tag.  I agree with Hillary Clinton “ it takes a village to raise children.”

---

John Pennington’s trial in the Oso mudslide debacle will be live streamed by the Gold Bar Reporters starting during the fall of 2016.

As for Pierce College hiring a pedophile and wife beater, one can only say that each and everyone of the persons involved in hiring a known pedophile will now be investigated as a result.  Stay tuned, because the way I see it, the only ones who protect pedophiles and wife beaters are ones’ themselves.

 

Perhaps Pierce College needed to hire someone to teach “ How to get away with molesting and raping our kids, fraud, murder, setting up fake online newspapers to criminally harass citizens, not pay Department of Revenue taxes, failing to pay property taxes, raping college students, and beating one’s spouse” also known as Emergency Management 101 at Pierce College it appears.

 

Or perhaps it was John Pennington from an online fraudulent program Senator Tom Harkin called fraudulent on PBS’s “ Education, Inc.”  or California Coastal School that the IRS said sold online diplomas at a flat rate http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/local-fema-chief-had-little-disaster-experience/

BEWARE students especially female students as John E. Pennington was kicked out real colleges for raping a student.

---

In September 2015, Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe confirmed that John Pennington is the man responsible for the rape of a five year old girl in Cowlitz County., Washington.  An insider who we have labeled as ” fed up” told the Gold Bar Reporter that Mark Roe was convinced by Snohomish County Prosecutors Sean Reay and Sara DI Vittorio ( being sued for racketeering) to hide Pennington’s criminal history to avoid liability.

John E. Pennington fired, after records reveal criminal racketeering, bribing attorney WA State Bar Hearing Officer Lin O’Dell, and fraud

 

John E. Pennington is being sued for racketeering and gross 1983 violations after public records released document that he was “bribing” Lin ( aka Linda Worthington) O’Dell Washington State Bar Hearing Officer to fix a case against Gold Bar Reporter. 

UPDATE: ATTORNEY LIN O’DELL FOUND GUILTY OF FRAUDING HER CLIENT BY WASHINGTON STATE GURADIAN BOARD 

See https://goldbarreporter.org/2016/10/

After receiving a political appointment to Snohomish County Emergency Management, John Pennington killed 43 people in the Oso mudslide disaster. Snohomish County is being sued for millions as result of John Pennington’s criminal activity as outlined herein.

A new lawsuit is being pursued for defamation in Connecticut State court after a Connecticut Bar member called the Gold Bar Reporter stating again that John Pennington contacted them again making the same false statements.

Washington State Bar Racketeering Caught on Camera

 

On October 4, 2015, we posted the following true story about John Pennington’s “fixer” Washington State Bar Hearing Officer attorney Lin O’Dell.  Ms. O’Dell was caught accepting financial bribes from John E. Pennington from April to September 2014.   

Since this story was posted ( late 2015), Lin O’Dell has been charged with fraud for stealing from a client ( over 2M dollars) and removed as a hearing officer.  Ms. O’Dell’s convicted killer boyfriend Mark Plivilech was caught misusing over ten of Lin O’Dell’s elderly clients social security numbers and criminal fraud complaints have been filed.  Mark Plivilech has fled the state of Washington and is now in hiding in the Placentia California area.

In early 2016, Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers notified John E. Pennington that he will be collecting an unemployment check as of January 1, 2016.  John E. Pennington was officially terminated from Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management after public records documented that instead of doing his job he criminally harassed his opponents on his anonymous website titled ‘The Sky Valley Chronicle.”

Our readers should know that in 2014, John Pennington was the sole person in charge of mitigation for Oso Washington residents.

As result of Pennington’s criminal activity, Snohomish County currently has 43 Oso mudslide victims and survivors suing the County for millions. Three months ago, a Judge in King County held that the victims can sue Snohomish County, but only for John Pennington’s failure to mitigate loss of human life.

Also,  John Pennington’s forth wife Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg, convicted of bank fraud in North Carolina in 2000 and in Snohomish County in 2005) are being sued for Racketeering in US Federal Court with a  new Racketeering and a lawsuit just in time for 2017.

For those of you who may not know, John E. Pennington’s criminal background for the last 30 years was searched and investigated by two fantastic investigators.

From FEMA to Snohomish County Washington and now to Pierce College ( Tacoma Washington diploma mill), dark  secrets unearthed. Gold Bar Reporters were the first to report on John E. Pennington’s criminal conduct, a small portion of our report is outlined below

MEET JOHN ‘ THEODORE TED BUNDY” PENNINGTON

John Pennington was a troubled youth who, according to one source “had a major drug problem by the age of 16.”  So it’s no surprise that in the late 1980’s, after being kicked out of Vanderbilt College in Tennessee after raping a female college student, John Pennington moved to a small suburban city just outside of San Diego California.

While in the San Diego area,  John Pennington meets his new victim, who believe he legally married, so are calling her ex-wife # 1, Carla M.

Two years later, John Pennington fled from Southern California, again heading home to Nashville, only after two small boys made allegations of sexual abuse against him while on a church camping trip.

While in Tennessee, John Pennington made an unsuccessful run for an open State Rep. seat.  After a landslide loss for Pennington, he again headed west. This time to Oregon where Pennington meets his next victim.

Mr. Pennington plead guilty to criminal assault 1 and harassment  ( Washington County Case # D911027SC documents property penalties as a result of his assault) after he hospitalized his fiancé in Oregon. A felony that has somehow vanished, partly, except for the property judgment. **

As a result, John Pennington fled from Oregon to Vancouver Washington. While in Vancouver Washington, John Pennington meets his next victim. Sadly, they soon married.

While working in a coffee delivery business, John Pennington stole coffee grinding equipment from his previous employer and used this equipment to start-up a coffee shop in Kelso. Purpose was to make it look like he was an entrepreneur ( but he is really a sociopath) as to grab an uncontested Republican seat in Cowlitz County.

It worked, the uneducated college dropout John Pennington managed to get elected to an uncontested WA House of Representatives seat. Unfortunately for residents in New Orleans and Oso Washington, he met a powerful Washington State Republican leader, Jennifer Dunn.

In 1992, a 5-year-old girl was kidnapped, raped, and then tossed along a Cowlitz County road like a piece of trash.  We sent our private investigators to Cowlitz County to talk with the lead Detective who confirmed the following facts:

John Pennington became one of two prime suspects for the following reasons:

Below is the press release as it relates to John E. Pennington’s rape of a 5 year old girl from Cowlitz County Washington

 

Unfortunately for the 5 year child, John Pennington meets a Kelso Washington city attorney named Michael Kenyon.

According to John Pennington’s divorce files he is also an abuser of prescription pills, and was detained at the US Mexico  for having narcotics ( non-prescription pain pills) on his person while coming back into the US. Pennington has never denied this allegation.

In 1995, John Pennington was also a member of the Washington State Militia, a group dedicated to over throwing the United States government. ” John sat around for years obsessed about getting even with the Longview Washington news reporter for reporting that John was a member of the State militia.”

But the case that raised our eyebrows is Mr. Pennington’s abuse on his ex-wife # 2 ( who is really ex-wife # 3) Anne Laughlin. Ms. Laughlin was a City of Duvall city council member at the time of Pennington’s assault of Anne. Anne was three weeks away from giving birth to her daughter when Pennington violently assaulted, kicked and punched Anne in the stomach and uterus. A real salt of the earth kind of man.

Since Ms. Laughlin was a Duvall city council member at the time, the City of Duvall sought a Special Prosecutor. The prosecutor assigned to prosecute wife beater John Pennington came from the law firm where Pennington’s buddy Michael Kenyon was employed.

As of today, Attorney Michael Kenyon and Ann Marie Soto have bilked the taxpayers of Gold Bar over $1,350,000.00 hidng former Mayor Crystal Hill’s public records ( emails) documenting that she was practicing law without a license, and had lied on her F 1 form stating that she had never pled guilty to fraud when in fact she had plead guilty twice, one in 2000 in North Carolina and a second time in Snohomish County Washington; and John Pennington making racist comments about President Obama and running illegal ACCESS background checks in violation of RCW 10.97.

On March 24, 2014, John Pennington caused 43 residents in Oso Washington to suffocate to death in Washington State’s most preventable loss of life natural disaster. Instead of mitigating loss to human life, John Pennington worked on his fraudulent online diploma, operated his personal business on the County’s dime and while using county resources and staff, violently assaulted children and women, and criminally harassed me right from Snohomish County Offices operating an online blog ” The Sky Valley Chronicle.  “  An online blog owned by Aaron Reardon but operated by Gold Bar’s Mayor Crystal Hill ( nee Berg who plead guilty to bank fraud in 2005), John Pennington,  and Gold Bar’s former Mayor Joe Beavers.

Protecting Our children from a sociopath like John Pennington is worth every sacrifice we’ve made as a result  of shinning much needed sunshine on cockroaches who harm molest and abuse our kids.

Our Children’s mental well being has no price tag.  I agree with Hillary Clinton “ it takes a village to raise children.”

John Pennington, visits Livonia Michigan, in search of dirt on the Gold Bar Reporter, but instead he finds a convicted spousal abuser and drug addict

Somethings are better left in the past, such is the City of Livonia Michigan.

In 2001, I moved to Lansing Michigan to attend graduate studies. I can’t say I hated Michigan but it wasn’t home. The summers were short and humid and the winters were rough and bone chillin cold.

Born and raised in New England, I was no stranger to bone chillin cold winters, and the summers on the east coast were hot and humid, so Michigan wasnt much different, with one exception, Noel.

During my first year of college, I put in for a transfer to Quinpiacc Law School hoping to be closer to home. I was accepted,  but then I met a fantastic like minded free thinker who was as liberal as I if not more so.

When I first met Noel, I was disappointed to learn that he had custody of his daughter, Rachel. She was 12, a self centered me child. Something she learned from her mother because her dad is a complete opposite.

Further,  I had raised my one and only daughter, and really wasn’t interested in raising another.  Kids are quirky, especially teenagers. Teenagers tend to play the blame game, but Rachel was different as it was clear from her life surroundings that she was being abused by her mother, Laura.

Teenagers are quirky enough without having to deal with a mentally ill parent like Laura who spent little time trying to raise a happy healthy child, but instead sucked on a bottle of Vicodin and suffered from Muchhausan bi proxy.  Laura’s main goal was getting even with Noel for having the courage to say ” I will not live my life with a drug addict and allow my daughter to be raised by an abusive drug addict either ”  as he was the first to file for divorce but only after countless failed attempts by Laura at detox.

Most women in our society are the favored parent by our courts, a preconditioning that woman are the more nuturing ones.  I find this assumption to be absurbed, and an insult to my father.  I loved both my parents, and had more in common with my father as he taught me that the power really is in the pen.

Unfortunately for Rachel, Her mother was abusive, both verbally and physically. For me, my daughter’s happiness was and still is evidence of job well done. For Laura, Rachel was and still is piece of property to manipulate to fill Laura’s own unhappy void in life.

In 1998, Laura was arrested and convicted of stabbing Noel, as a result she lost custody of Rachel.  A conviction that as an Oakland County nurse she was obligated to tell her employer but somehow forgot that “morals clause” in her county contract.  A fact I could have disclosed, which would have resulted in her immediate termination, but decided not to because of Rachel.  A decision I regret knowing Laura is still addicted to prescription pills, holding a nursing license. Scary stuff.

When I first met Noel I remember thinking well how bad can this woman be, after all she’s able to maintain a nursing job. What I didn’t know, but later learned, is that Laura was fired from a hospital in Cincinatti for stealing narcotics, thus triggering her move to Livonia Michigan.  But only after Noel graduated with an MS in Engineering and obtained lucrative employment designing aircrafts.

After moving to Livonia, Laura’s drug addiction became too much for Noel, he decided to divorce when his daughter was just seven.  According to several sources, Rachel went from a happy child to a severally depressed withdrawn child. Sadly, she never recovered and lives today ( age 27), just as her mother does, isolated and clingy, looking for others approval.

But who can blame her; children who are abused often live their life trying to fix the abuser.

I remember often questioning Rachel about bruises on her arms after she’d return home from Oakland County court ordered biweekly visits with her mom. I’d questioned Rachel about who bruised her arms, and she’d always make up excuses like my arm got caught in the door.

Frankly speaking, I hate child abusers. Laura was no exception.  I called Rachel’s therapist who later told her dad, children often blame themselves for their parent’s abuse and inability to love. Sadly for Rachel, Laura wasn’t capable of nurturing a trash bag, only her Vicodin bottle. A Vicodin bottle she often spent weekend days hospital shopping to find.

In 2004, after graduate schoool I decided to move to New Hampshire. After all, it’s the live free or die state.  A place that as a young adult I found peace and solitude; Swimming in Lake Winniepasaukee’s pristine clear waters is like taking a cold bath while gazing up at the first highest mountain peak I ever climbed, Mt Washington. It’s peace on earth and far away from the ” Looney World of Laura F.”

Laura stalked me at home, college, and on vacations, bi proxy, through Rachel. I wasnt alone as she did this to Noel too. I spent five years in Michigan and I can’t remember a single vacation without Laura calling Rachel claiming to be dying, extremely sick, etc just so she could ruin Rachel’s vacations to soak in her own drug induced sorrow.

In 2004, after spending the whole summer traveling the western US, and watching the Michigan economy collapse, Noel and I decided it was time to move.  I wanted to move to New Hamshire, while Noel wanted to move to Bozeman Monatana.  But after spending much time backpacking Washington’s national parks, and after climbing to the top of Mount Rainer, Noel turned to me and said ” let’s move here. ” He threw his arms up looked out over Mount Rainer and said ” for me this is paradise.”  I said ok.

Looking backwards from today, I know Washington is where my activism is needed the most. But I shall retire on the most beautiful lake in the U.S. , Sebago.

In December 2009, a Snohomish County  political appointee name John E Pennington wrote me an unsolicited letter that seemed more like it was written by a 10-year-old child than that of a director. I remember thinking to myself? Why would this man, an employee of the county, write an unsolicited letter to a citizen that absolutely made no sense whatsoever.

Since 2008, I have been investigating political appointee John E Pennington. My readers know that I have spent countless resources time and energy trying to warn the public of just how dangerous John E Pennington is to the safety and health of our children. Unfortunately, my warnings fell on deaf ears and he killed 43 people in the Oso mudslides.

Sadly for Washingtonians, Snohomish county government officials, including but not limited to Mark Roe  , Sean Reay, Miqual Tempski, and John Lovick covered up that John E Pennington was labeled by King County Dr. Hendricks as being mentally defective ” a sociopath with no empathy for human life” a fact that he plead to to avoid jail time after he violently assaulted a 3rd trimester pregnant woman just weeks before the deliverly of her daughter.

And if the strange couldn’t have gotten stranger, in November 2016 I deposed Joe Beavers Gold Bar’s mayor who has bankrupted the city of Gold Bar hiding his computer crimes, admitted that he had reached out to a government official in Oakland County Michigan seeking information on Noel. Information Beavers obtained from Laura.

We have ample reason to believe from family members that Laura F continues to live a drug induced life, and still searching for vindication of the harm that she caused so many especially the abuse she perpetrated upon her daughter.

In Joe Beavers deposition, he also admitted that he was anonymously cyberstalking  the Gold Bar Reporter while he was a public official for Gold Bar on a blogspot operated by John Pennington and Crystal Hill Pennington.

Joe Beavers , John Pennington and Crystal Hill Pennington are being sued for racketeering with depositions expected to begin later this year.   John Pennington was recently caught on camera forging court records in Pierce County successfully sued as a result and found to be a abusing the process.

So with no surprise, a friend from Michigan had called me telling me that Laura F has found some new friends, a sociopath, John Pennington and Joe Beavers. Pennington on camera today meeting up with Laura trying to dig up trash on the Gold Bar Reporter in Livonia Michigan.

I have some advice for John Pennington, next time you’d like to dig up trash on the Gold Bar Reporter you might not use a drug addict, who was convicted of stabbing her ex husband and who lost custody of daughter as a result of her criminal conduct.

I hope you enjoyed the weather Johnny, because you met with the second largest pile of trash I ever had the displeasure of meeting besides You. Perhaps next time you’ll do things a little bit different and visit your co-conspirator during the summer as the summers are much more pleasant in Michigan than the winters.

Looks like I have a new defendant to add to my racketeering suit and since predicate acts took place in Michigan, my thought is I should file my next suit in Michigan.

John E Pennington criminal record/misuse of time Snohomish County D.E.M.

The City of Duvall Library Board declined John Pennington’s application for an open Board position holding that John Pennington had no respect for the 1st Amendment.

John Pennington is being sued under RICO after public records reveal that he was anonymously blogging during county hours on his blog spot titled ” The Sky Valley Chronicle.” Today, after reviewing hundreds of emails records involving Pennington, we are getting ready to file another RICO and 1983 civil rights retaliation suit.  Ahhh, those pesky public records… stupid is as stupid does.  Meet John ”  Ted Bundy” Pennington, Snohomish County’s very own sociopath.

Pennington’s RICO http://twitdoc.com/view.asp?id=172712&sid=3P9K&ext=PDF&lcl=RICO-files.pdf&usr=Sunshine2015K&doc=252796214&key=key-vCgcyry8MG3PdTevxTaE

REPUBLISHED WITH PERMISSION FROM WWW.SNOCOREPORTER.COM

Remember when I said…

If I ever got the chance to meet Anne Block that there was going to be a problem for Snohomish County?

I did & there is.

I thought they screwed me over, but they have done everything humanly possible to destroy this woman. They seem to have gotten away with most of it, & they seem to always prevail at all the dirty tricks they use but as the saying goes “Every dog has it’s day but every dog has it’s dog”

It’s like the conga line of corruption. Not just one person or one agency, they all seem to be working together to destroy her. Evidently they ALL have something to hide.

Why else would they come together on account of one single woman?

Public records are a powerful thing ESPECIALLY when the people in charge so blatantly conspire against this woman on the county dime & as a group. They believe they are so untouchable that they don’t even try to hide their crimes. Yes they are crimes but in Snohomish County they can they have & they will get away with it.

This corruption runs so deep that there is no place, no agency, no division that is not dripping in shit.

Let’s start with John Pennington…

So the county has ran several background checks on Ms Block Tit for tat.

So I am getting mixed messages about this criminal background check. A very seasoned PR/HR person tells me that the “Harrassment W/Prior Harsmnt” is that just means he had prior acts of harassment that culminated in this one charge but a very seasoned detective said that he has a prior conviction of harassment.

The fact remains he was kicked out of his church for sexually abusing kid(s), (confirmed by church members) & that he is the prime suspect in the rape of a child, (confirmed by police ~ still waiting for those records & will post)  that he is a wife beater, stalker & an abuser & he is getting paid for his govt job with OUR tax money with a FAKE degree. That should piss you off, if it doesn’t then I don’t know what would.

So I made a trip down to the court house & what I found was horrifying, there are SO many people involved in his cover up that it would make your head spin. Government employees all emailing back & forth writing statements to bash his ex-wife during county & state time which is illegal but it went in front of a Superior court Judge who did NOT take notice or even mention that it was happening: Not just in ONE case but in TWO. You cannot conduct personal business on city, county, or state computers when you are supposed to be working, period.

Here is just one just at the county level. The other one has to be an entire blog post on it’s own because it involves the other people involved in the cover up of the abuse that this woman endured.

Some would say his private life is his own & that would be true if he wasn’t using county resources & tax-payer money to abuse one of his many wives. Reading these files just broke my heart to imagine this woman living like this for YEARS with no one to reach out to, no one to believe her & with people in power protecting this man…. but this is the “norm” in Snohomish County. There are 100’s of pages so I got what I could I will get more as finances permit

More public records from Snohomish County Department of Emergency Managment. . . GUILTY of gross RICO and civil rights violations

Today was a very good day for open government supporters here in Washington State. Emails sent to and from Snohomish County’s number one political bum, John Pennington, prove that he was using county resources and computers, sent a letter to Steve MacLaughlin – who has become a witness in my RICO suit- via electronic email inferring that the Washington State Bar Hearing Officer Lin O’Dell has had extensive exparte communications with John Pennington.

This new email communication allows me to sue O’Dell personally and breaks any immunity she may have had.

We know from public records that the Washington State Bar hearing officer Lin O’Dell, using her convicted killer boyfriend Mark Plivilech, set up a post office box within three blocks from John and Crystal Penningotn’s home in Duvall Washington immediately following O’Dell being assigned to hear a complaint that the Gold Bar Reporters refused to turn over our media shield files to the WA Bar citing “no authority of law”.

The Washington State Supreme Court held that “all persons are to be left alone in their private affairs. ” The United States Supreme Court also held that if any of the underlining issues before the Court involves the First Amendment, strict scrutiny applies to all actions involving free speech. The WA Bar is no exception.

The U.S. Supreme Courts accepts review in First Amendment cases about 70 percent of the time and where there is a public official involved, the stats are much higher. It will give me great pleasure to assit the WA Bar in reforming…

Soon John Pennington’s crimes against women and children will be a matter of public record, as it should have been when the county learned that he is a dangerous man with an extensive violent history of beating up women and children back dating back to 1988.

The county cannot change the fact that John Pennington remains a prime suspect in child rape case from Colwitz County.

I believe that the Snohomish County Daily Herald reporter is correct when he said  ” the county is fucked!” Yes indeed, we believe that by keeping a child and wife beater on the county/ taxpayers payroll will prove to be costly to Snhomoish County taxpayers.

Sad that the criminals in charge of our county government decided (according to an insider) to go after Anne Block instead of coming clean about John Pennington illegal domestic spying ring.

John Pennington is being sued in US Fedeal Court under RICO and I intend to tell my story to a jury soon. The County has a real problem because the public records I now have in my possession are clear civil rights violations and amount to predicate acts under RICO in furtherance of the Enterprise’s effort to harm my property rights.

Snohomish County Prosecutors, Snohomish County Director of Emergency Management, Sky Valley Chronicle, and Gold Bar Mayors sued under RICO

On February 13, 2013, the Snohomish County Daily Herald exposed Snonomish County

Executive criminals Aaron Reardon, Senator Steve Hobbs’s brother-in-law Jon Rudicil,

and Kevin Hulten for criminal harassment.

 

Once caught, the Snohomish County Council was forced to assign the investigation over to King County, who then assigned Aaron Reardon, Kevin Hulten, Jon Rudicil and Christopher Schwartzen’s county computers to the King County Major Crimes Unit for forensic inspection.

 

In November 2013, the Gold Bar Reporter requested a complete copy of Kevin Hulten’s hard drives on any computer retained by King County Major Crimes Unit as it relates to the Aaron Reardon investigation, and what we got back confirmed our suspicion that Kevin Hulten’s main function at the County was to criminally anyone who exposed Aaron Reardon as the useless criminal he was, which includes a criminal racketeering he ( Hulten) and Steve Hobbs’s brother-in-law Jon Rudicil created  “Edmond Thomas LLC.”

 

From emails and invoices, Kevin Hulten and Jon Rudicil were funneling money on behalf of the Democratic group, DNA ( a group serving native American interests). Here’s how it worked: Edmond Thomas LLC, operated by Kevin Hulten and Jon Rudicil would use county resources to assist a Tacoma attorney named Jack Connolly to criminally harass his opponent Senator Jeanne Darnielle.

 

Emails between TRO Strategies, attorney Jack Connelly, Jon Rudicil, and Kevin Shorty Hulten confirmed that Jon Rudicil and Kevin Hulten were charging the Democratic group titled DNA ( serving native American interests) to criminally harass Sen. Jeanne Darnielle.

 

Kevin Hulten and Jon Rudicil made less than $65,000.00 per year, but they lived as though they were making $250,000.00 per year. Rudicil and Hulten both owned homes in Lake Stevens with mortgages suggestive to be well over $1700.00 per month 60 % of the their monthly gross income.

 

But once we reviewed the King County Major Crimes files, we started seeing invoices issued on Snohomish County taxpayers computers and resources charging the Democratic group for professional criminal harassment services provided to attorney Jack Connelly to criminally harass Senator Jeanne Darnielle.

 

What was more interesting is that although there is evidence that Hulten and Rudicil were paid thousands of dollars by the Democratic party lobbying group, there is no evidence that Hulten nor Rudicil ever paid a single cent of Washington State business tax or federal income tax on their extra revenue.

 

But the story didn’t end here. We later learned that besides his criminal racketeering activity, Hulten enjoyed clipping Ipone “selfy” pictures of his penis. In one picture, he even measured the size of his penis with a ruler, hence why Gold Bar Reporter Forbes dubbed Hulten, correctly, as Kevin ” SHORTY” Hulten.

As for Jon Rudicil’s career move, well he went to work for Senator Hatfield. A couple of years ago, Senator Hatfield’s son was charged with raping an 11 year old boy. A rape the stellar Senator Hatfield knew about but failed to report.

 

Can our readers imagine why Senator Hatfield would cover up the fact that his 15 year old son sodomized an 11 year boy, with his legs and back tied behind him, instead of trying to get his pedophile son mental health assistance?

 

Let’s keep in mind the facts above suggest that Hatfield’s son’s sodomizing, legs tied behind the child’s back, mouth gagged, strongly suggests that Senator Hatfield’s son is simply repeating learned behavior.

 

Bravo Mr. Rudicil, Senator Hatfield was a great choice of future employers. Certainly someone no of us would even speak with after failing to report the rape of a child let alone work for. This leaves us to believe that there’s something not right inside Senator Hatfield’s home. An issue we’re researching thanks to Jon Rudicil’s flocking to Senator Hatfield nest.

 

Then in July 2014, Kevin Hulten plead guilty to criminal evidence tampering, and according to an on looker  ” Kevin Hulten laughed at his plea hearing as though the fix was already in.”

 

Soon after Shorty’s criminal plea deal, Mr. Hulten sent Gold Bar Reporter Block an extortionist email furthering the RICO activities of the Enterprise.

 

Kevin Hulten then tried to extort Block with a letter to the Washington State Bar. Block said sorry shorty I resigned effective May 1, 2014, so I’m not a member anymore so you’re shit out of luck. Nonetheless, we saved Kevin Hulten’s threats as they are evidence of his RICO activity, an issue he is being sued for in U.S. Federal District Court.

 

After Gold Bar Reporter Block filed suit against Hulten, she contacted him asking if he had counsel, he responded that the Prosecutor’s Office confirmed that the taxpayers of Snohonish County would flipping his legal bill.

 

This prompted us to request record under our favorite RCW, 42.56 ( Pubic Records Act) seeking all legal contracts that relate to convicted criminal harasser Kevin ” Shorty” Hulten. On Friday, Snohomish County Prosecutor Stacey Malstead ( who actaully appears to be some what of a professional public servant unlike her predecessor Lynne Jardine).

 

According to our legal counsel, RCW 4.96.010 prohibits use of taxpayer funds for conduct outside

of the employee’s official duties.

 

Tortious conduct of local governmental entities — Liability for damages.

 

(1) All local governmental entities, whether acting in a governmental or proprietary capacity, shall be liable for damages arising out of their tortious conduct, or the tortious conduct of their past or present officers, employees, or volunteers while performing or in good faith purporting to perform their official duties, to the same extent as if they were a private person or corporation. Filing a claim for damages within the time allowed by law shall be a condition precedent to the commencement of any action claiming damages. The laws specifying the content for such claims shall be liberally construed so that substantial compliance therewith will be deemed satisfactory.

 

YES, our readers are reading this correct, Snohomish County Prosecutors Mark Roe and RICO member Sean Reay, are misappropriating taxpayers monies, signed an illegal agreement to provide $50,000.00 of taxpayers to assist a convicted criminal harasser and racketeering enterprise member named Kevin Hulten.

 

On July 5, 2014, Kevin Hulten plead guilty to criminal evidence tampering. But Hulten did not act alone.

 

Snohomish County’s uneducated bum who killed 44 residents in the Oso Washington mudslides, John E. Pennington, is linked to Kevin Hulten and pay offs to Washington State Bar hearing officer named attorney Lin O’Dell and her convicted killer boyfriend Mark Plivilech.

 

John E. Pennington’s property purchases have increased by 400 % since Aaron Reardon appointed him as Snohomish County’s Director of Emergency Management.

 

Former Deputy Director Gary Haackenson turned over records linking Gold Bar’s Mayor Joe Beavers to this criminal Enterprise as well.

 

Native American interests tie the law firm of Kenyon Dissend directly into one of the largest RICO scandals in United States history, so stay tuned.

 

As for Aaron Reardon ole boy, we can only hope that the public records turned over between Christopher Schwartzen and Aaron Reardon documenting illegal gifting of public lands and his Indio California home purchase ( with no surprise on tribal property) will help bring him to justice for his crimes.

 

As for Snohomish County Prosecutor Seth Fine, we just finally received the final missing piece of the puzzle dating back to the Karl Marjele tampering of the Gold Bar water system and the stealing of a Washington State Bar member’s application file.  As such, the entire judicial system in Washington will be reformed.

 

Stay tuned,  the pieces of this RICO scheme are almost complete after a woman who worked for Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office leaked the missing piece of the puzzle involving the Washington State Bar Office of Disciplinary Officer and Prosecutor Seth Fine.  Mr. Fine, with no surprise,  Fine heads Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Criminal Division. Back in 2008, Karl Marjerle was not charged with sabotaging the City of Gold Bar’s water system.  Deciders on whether or not charge Marjerle were our goods friends inside Snohomish County’s Criminal Division.

 

Get your boots, cause this shit is deep!

 

Those pesky public records; where there is money, there is corruption.  

 

Snohomish County top story for 2014

In March 2014, Snohomish County’s Director of Emergency Management (DEM) killed 44 people in the Oso mudslides. We use the word “killed” because emails between former Executive Aaron Reardon and John Pennington documented that when Reardon was having meetings with Oso mudslide builders, Ridgeway Homes, he ( Reardon), asked dumb as a fricken post John Pennington whether it was safe to build and he said ” yep Boss it’s safe to build.”

Emails that have been turned over to his victims.

Now for those of us who have a real University degree, we were shocked that a man without a college education would make such affirmations with no scientific training. Furthermore, our investigator obtained several statements from former DEM employees who confirmed John Pennington did nothing all day work on his bogus online school, criminally harass me, and sexually harass Diana Rose. As a result, we rightfully call John Pennington a killer. A titled that he now owns.

When Mr Pennington was asked what caused the Oso mudslides he responded ” I am a man of faith.” Perhaps Mr. Pennington has a learning disability or Attention deficit disorder because he missed the call of the question as though he never attended a single science class in his life.

We know that Mr Pennington was kicked out of Vanderbilt College for drinking and drugs, and impregnating a young girl. A mentally challenged boy came from his rage upon this young woman. An issue that was settled out of court in Tennessee.

We also know that while Mr Pennington was sitting DEM, from 2008-2012, he was charged with assault and battery on his 3rd trimester pregnant wife Anne. But thanks to Kenyon Disend’s obstruction in this case, Pennington was given a plea deal to lesser offense so long as he could get Aaron Reardon to fix cases for Kenyon Disend inside Snohomish County Superior Court.

For fixing Snohomish County cases, Aaron Reardon appointed Judge Richard Okrent. And boy did Okrent pull through on several cases, civil and criminal alike. An issue we have written about in previous blogs.

Contrary to what John Pennington posted on his Sky Valley Chronicle blog spot, the Oso mudslides were by far the biggest stories in Washington State. But with no surprise since John Pennington posts on the Sky Valley Chronicle he failed to mention the fact that he killed 44 people in Oso Washington mudslides.

‘ John E. Pennington, Snohomish County’s former Director of Emergency Management, Linked to Largest Corruption Scandal in Washington State’s History”

Most of you know me as the investigator blogger/reporter in Snohomish County Washington who exposed Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon for the criminal harasser scum bag that he is. Scott North, who claims to be a friend to open government recently stated that I was a prolific public requester; Scott North conveniently left out these facts, probably because he doesn’t like be “scooped” especially by someone who only works at reporting part-time.

But that’s ok because Scott North and I are supporters of Open Government, so I’ll forgive him for leaving off the fact that I am a journalist and an author.

What many of our readers may not know is that the Snohomish County Daily Herald’s February 13, 2013, article ” Reardon’s staff linked to harassment” was just the tip of the iceberg on Aaron Reardon’s little RICO gang of thieves.

The events that lead up to Reardon’s staff being exposed were first unearthed by the Gold Bar Reporters in late summer 2012. Because two dumb as a fuckin posts Snohomish County executive employees Kevin  ” Thomas” Hulten and Jon Rudicil, both directly linked to one of Washington State’s biggest piece of shit, Senator Steve Hobbs, were simply sloppy and uneducated on how to set up a blog, like Reardon and his gang did on the Sky Valley Chronicle.

see http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20130214/NEWS01/702149999

After seeing emails and Outlook calendars from public records we requested on disgraced Executive Reardon, we learned that Senator Tracey Eide, Senator Steve Hobbs, convicted criminal harasser Kevin ” Thomas” Hulten and Aaron Reardon  were having “special meetings” in Aaron Reardon’s Office in early January 2013. This was one month prior to the Daily Herald’s story ” Reardon’s Staff Linked to Harassment.”

Once Reardon’s executive officers got caught with their pants down, and emails connected Aaron Reardon’s staff to criminal harassment, I filed a 10 M tort claim upon Snohomish County, Washington, noting that the Daily Herald only covered part of the story.  The other half of the story involves John E. Pennington’s involvement in tossing Snohomish County Whistleblower Tamara Dutton under the bus to save a much bigger political fish named Deanna Dawson.

From public records we are confident to report that not only was Tamara Dutton engaged in an extramarital affair with Reardon, but Deanna Dawson, President of Southern Washington Association of Cities, was also engaged in an extramarital affair with Reardon.  Unlike Tamara Dutton, Deanna Dawson lied in her statement to the Washington State Patrol during the Reardon investigation.  This issue is water under the bridge but it sure does help understand how we got to where we are today.

In a nutshell, Reardon’s ” little RICO gang” threw Tamara Dutton under the bus to save Deanna Dawson from political ruins for sleeping with a married executive. For this, we are going to keep our eyes open on issues that relate to Dawson because any female that would toss another female under the bus to save their ass is a piece of shit that deserves public scrutiny.

Then in late February 2013, the Snohomish County council stripped control of our public records from Aaron Reardon’s control. Scum bag Reardon resigned, but not before ordering Snohomish County Prosecutor Margaret King and Sean Reay to write and file WA State Bar complaints against Gold Bar reporter Anne Block (me).

Whether Mark Roe knew whether or not that Sean Reay and Margaret King had entered Reardon and Pennington’s conspiracy to harm me is still under investigation, hence why Prosecutor Mark Roe was not listed as a defendant in my RICO suit.

To Mr. Roe’s credit, it appears that he did not know until I filed a First Amendment Brief with the WA State Bar basically telling the Bar to stay out of my First Amendment activity outlining a bit of what we write here.

In July 2013, Crystal Hill Pennington sent me a private “tweet” stating ” can’t wait to go to your disbarment hearing. ” The tweet didn’t say ” I hope you get disbarred” it said I cant wait to go to your disbarment hearing” as though the fix was already in. Crystal Hill Pennington’s Tweet prompted me to start investigating WSBA lead counsel Linda Eide’s connection to all of this.

It didn’t take a genesis to connect the dots between WSBA lead counsel Linda Eide and Senator Steve Hobbs’s and John Pennington’s friend Senator Tracey Eide. Eides are related.

Why Reardon’s gang of thugs wanted to get me disbarred was simple, I, not the Herald reporters, basically exposed Reardon for the criminal he is, and I filed a 10 M tort claim upon the County for his little RICO gang’s constant harassment on a Snohomish County controlled blog spot titled ” Sky Valley Chronicle”; and the City of Gold Bar’s Mayor Joe Beavers has been hiding Reardon and the Penningtons’ emails crimes for over five years costing the taxpayers of Gold Bar over 1 Million dollars with no end in sight.

As I have stated time and time again, there shall be no end until the City of Gold Bar complies with the Public Records Act. Further, the dumb asses thought that somehow by getting me disbarred this would reduce their liability.

What we uncovered over the last year will only greatly increase their liability, and since Kevin Hulten plead guilty to criminal harassment, he and the county at min. will be deposed. Once deposed, the whole shit and caboodle comes out . What John and Crystal Pennington and Gold Bar’s demented old Mayor Joe Beavers did on the Sky Valley Chronicle only enhances damages. An issue we will save for federal court, and after the assholes got caught criminally harassing me, they continued under the leadership of Executive John Lovick and without detection of Prosecutor Mark Roe.

I say blindly, somewhat, without the detection of Prosecutor Mark Roe, because John and Crystal Pennington recently set up a Twitter account “ NSCrier” posting only pictures of Tamara Dutton in a jail jumpsuit, John Lovick, and Mark Roe ( posting information about Mark Roe’s DUI arrest in King County earlier this year. An issue that we’re not interested in unless Mr. Roe harmed another human life, which he DID NOT). In addition, we reviewed Mark Roe’s email communication during a two year period, and besides seeing very unprofessional emails between Mark Roe and John Koster about Judge Wiseman, I didn’t see much to be too concerned about. But nonetheless, I decided to post Mark Roe’s emails hoping that Mark Roe would learn a lesson that as a politician his actions are subject to public scrutiny.

In October 2014, I filed a First Amendment injunction against the WA Bar citing massive corruption. In my response to the WSBA’s political payoff ( Yes we are claiming that Pennington and Reardon paid off WA Bar Hearing Officer Lin O’Dell using O’Dell’s convicted murderer boyfriend Mark Plivelich to make the payment exchanges with the Penningtons in Duvall and will be posting our findings within the next week or sooner) to disbar myself, and on behalf of Aaron Reardon and John and Crystal Pennington, I submitted a hell of a lot of evidence that John E. Pennington ran illegal background checks, is in fact a pedophile, etc. ( see Gold Bar Reporters archives for more information).

I also submitted at least one hundreds posts John and Crystal Pennington and Gold Bar’s Mayor Joe Beavers posted on the Sky Valley Chronicle. A source inside Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office informed us that Mark Roe called Pennington and said “ If you don’t stop harassing Block on the Sky Valley Chronicle, I’ll charge You with cyber-stalking” immediately John and Crystal Pennington and Gold bar’s Mayor joe Beavers stopped.

For this reason, I do not believe that Mark Roe knew that PENNINGTON, King, and Reay were posting on the Sky Valley Chronicle. I only fault Mark Roe for not monitoring his employees, and have since decided not to Recall him. I also thank him.

An additional thank you to Gold Bar’s current Mayor Linda Loen, who confirmed the Penningtons and Beavers involvement in cyber-staking me on the County controlled Sky Valley Chronicle.

Because this story is huge, and involves a financial pay off using federal resources, this blog is just the first in a series of posts to follow on this story. So stay tuned on Monday morning following Thanksgiving; what we uncovered and will report on will send a shock wave through the 40,000 WA State Bar members and John Lovick’s career will end as a result of John Pennington, just as Aaron Reardon’s did. Reform is coming,

A special Happy Thanksgiving thank you to my childhood hero Frank Serpico.
