Donald Trump, the greatest threat to America’s National Security
Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump
In the last days of his presidency, Donald Trump has incited violence, and has engaged a deliberate campaign of terrorism aimed at dividing Americans, like myself, who opposed him politically. As a result, Donald Trump has become the greatest threat to America’s National Security that America shall ever see.
But why, why is the so called leader of the free World engaging in such terroristic acts and inciting violence in the last days of his administration?
I believe the answer is simple: Donald Trump, and his children, are facing criminal charges in several states for money laundering and racketeering. Once Trump leaves office, a prediction that criminal charges will follow and his attempts to overthrow the will of the voters is nothing more than his attempt to save himself.
In late 2018, Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen turned over mounds of files to the FBI. So much so that the FBI raided Trump’s tax lawyers offices in downtown Chicago. From that investigation, New York state attorney General’s Office started investigating ” The Trump Foundation” for racketeering. Michael Cohen gave the state of New York a treasure trove of files implicating Trump and his children in a massive money laundering scam called ” The Trump Foundation.”
Trump is using a tactic known as “stochastic terrorism,” says Juliette Kayyem, former assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security. Similar tactics that Adolph Hitler used to instigate hatred against mainly German Jews, political foes and gays. This method provokes acts of extremist violence against people who do not share the same opinion. This type of rhetoric incites others to commit violent acts in their name.
According to a 1990 Vanity Fair interview, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that Trump kept a book of Hitler’s speeches near his bed, reading excerpts every night before bed. This statement alone supports a position taken by many, including myself, that Trump is purposefully inciting violence and should be arrested without delay.
The bigger question that seems to slide by most Americans is simple: Why is Trump ramping things up lately? Bob Woodward once said to me ” Anne, follow the money.” I believe he was right.
Last month, Deutsche Bank announced it was calling in Trump’s $340,000,000 loan for failure to pay. Follow the money might be understatement here. During the summer of 2020, Trump misused taxpayer money in an attempt to block a valid congressional subpoena seeking access to his banking records. Other banks Trump has loans with are also closing in to collect. Some argue: Why should Trump have to turn over his banking records? Simply put, most treasonous acts committed against America involve a transfer of money. Without access to banking records of public officials, America’s National Security is at great risk of having foreign governments straggle our so called democracy.
The Nation had it right when it published The Family That Grifts Together. Soon after this story was published, leaks came from the State of New York that Trump’s children have been stealing from the Trump’s non-profit foundation. After a court found Trump guilty of theft from the non-profit, he paid back over $2,000,000 of stolen funds. According to our counsel, “just because Trump paid back what he stole as a civil penalty, does not mean he is out of the woods on the criminal charges. In fact, by paying back what he stole from the non-profit, he almost made an admission to the State of New York that he misappropriated non-profit money to benefit himself and his children.”
When Trump’s son Eric was subpoenaed to testify in a Grand Jury New York state inquiry, he fought the subpoena. His lawyers stated that Eric has a 5th Amendment right not to testify against himself. But the truth is, New York State seated Grand Jury, and the only plausible reason for doing so to pursue criminal charges.
Trump’s recent rhetoric is nothing more than an attempt to save himself from criminal prosecution and his 7th Bankruptcy.
My readers probably guessed that I never was never nor ever will be a Trumpster, for many reasons, including the fact that he was a draft dodger, marries like its just another day at the office, treats women with utmost disrespect, tramples on the civil liberties of Americans, obstructs women’s rights, and failed at every business dealings he ever participated in. These failures are not signs of a great leader or great business man, they signs of a failure and a con artist.
My father served in World War II, never filed bankruptcy, was a dedicated federal government employee, and was married to my mother for 36 years. He set the example of how a good American male should be behave, similar attributes that have served me in my own relationships.
Adolph Hitler convinced millions of German’s to support him with this slogan ” MAKE GERMANY GREAT AGAIN.”
In 2016 a friend said to me ” I voted for Donald Trump because I wanted to drain the swamp” and my response was ” I too want to drain the swamp, the problem is, Donald Trump is the swamp.”
Trump’s last four years of chaos should not be the normal for how we Americans treat one another because we are different, but an example of how not to treat people who we disagree with or are from different ethnic backgrounds. After all, we are all immigrants; violence never solved anything, and inciting violence toward others, is just common thuggery and as unamerican as fireworks.
My hope is that America will survive Donald Trump’s Adolph Hitler like tactics. I love America more than any other country on this planet. It’s my home, and I treasure the Constitution as the greatest gift Thomas Jefferson brought back with him from Europe. Erode it, or allow anyone to trample on it, America will be abolished.
My activism belongs to no political party. Our founders implemented the First Amendment to the US Constitutional with one purpose ” Citizens are the checks and balances in forcing change where change is so desperately needed, not any one government official or office.”

King County, Washington, confirmed that Crystal Hill Pennington has been terminated for filing fraudulent application to obtain employment
Seattle: August 28, 2020,
A King County insider told the Gold Bar Reporter that ” Crystal was fired for gross misrepresentations on her application for employment.
According to the Gold Bar Reporter’s counsel ” it’s a felony to file false statements and false educational credentials to obtain government employment.”
______________________________________________________________________________
Crystal Hill Pennington, a twice convicted bank frauder
Fraud, forgery and lies on job applications, Crystal Hill Pennington bringing in the new year, the Pennington family way
John Edward Pennington Jr., and Crystal Daniel Hill Pennington (nee Berg) never cease to amaze me with the level of fraud both have perpetuated upon the taxpayers of Washington State.
From domestic terrorism, fraud, forgery, harassment, and now filing false academic and employment credentials to entice King County in hiring Ms. Hill Pennington for a position she has no educational or employment experience.
But what’s new for the Penningtons’ rein of criminal conduct the Gold Bar Reporter has uncovered and reported on for 15 years here in Washington State.
Between 2015 to 2017, Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) along with John Edward Pennington Jr. attempted to obtain countless “restraining orders” against Anne Block, the Gold Bar Reporter. The reason was simple: Ms. Hill Pennington filed countless criminal complaints claiming that she was unable to find employment as a result of our news reports on her extensive criminal history.
In Pierce County, on April 27, 2017, a Washington State Judge held a 3.5 hour hearing, at which time, the Gold Bar Reporter presented copies of Ms. Hill Pennington criminal history records documenting that she is a twice convicted bank frauder, once in North Carolina where she served time in jail, and once in Snohomish County Washington where she plead guilty.
Ms. Hill Pennington uses several aliases, and aka as Crystal Berg and Crystal Pieneiche.
For over ten years, Ms. Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) and John Edward Pennington Jr. operated a foe website titled the ” Sky Valley Chronicle.” Public records confirm John E Pennington Jr did this right from his office inside Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management. Pennington was fired for his criminal harassment in late 2016.
Crystal Hill Pennington was unemployed from February 2010, to April 2020. She was fired from every job she ever held which included Snohomish County Community Transit, and attorney Mark Weiss’s office. Inside Community Transit Ms. Hill Pennington was caught stealing ( excess of $300) and lying on her job application. Because Ms. Hill Pennington’s mother was a long term employee at Community Transit, they agreed not to criminally prosecute in 2002.
In 2010, Ms. Hill Pennington was also fired from attorney Mark Weiss’s office after he caught her practicing law without a license, writing and serving divorce motions for her new lover, John E Pennington Jr, in King County Washington, Laughlin v Pennington.
After Attorney Mark Wiess fired Crystal Hill for the crime of practicing law without a license, she applied for unemployment benefits lying about the reason why she was fired. The WA Security Division received a fraud report from another resident, and after a 90 day investigation, Ms. Hill Pennington was found to have falsely filed for unemployment benefits and court ordered to pay back over $6000.00 she stole. The State’s court filed in King County where Ms. Hill Pennington resides.
After Ms. Hill Pennington (nee Berg) plead guilty to bank fraud in Snohomish County, she was appointed as a Gold Bar city council member by another fraudster, Colleen Hawkins. Ms. Hawkins had her owns problems of using her husband’s security clearance inside Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office to run illegal background checks on citizens. Ms. Hawkins used her husband, a Sheriff Officer, to run illegal backgrounds on her opponents just before the election. What Ms. Hawkins found was a juvenile criminal conviction of her opponent from another state, and then disseminated the illegally obtained information via Gold Bar city emails. The only problem for Ms. Hawkins was that the criminal history she illegally gathered on her opponent was from a state that “seals” juvenile records.
As a twice convicted criminal, Ms. Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) was compromised, thus an ally to shady people like Coleen Hawkins. People who should be in prison for their crimes. Instead, Ms. Hill changed her name from Crystal Berg to Crystal Hill and ran for Mayor.
According to the Washington State Auditor’s 2012 Report, during Ms. Hill Pennington’s tenor as Mayor there is ” $200,000 missing from the City, and not employee can tell me where it went.”
In July 2008, Ms. Hill and a water employee named Karl Majerle were caught illegally using the City’s gas card for their personal vehicles. Majerle was the only prosecuted for the theft, because Ms. Hill Pennington’s past criminal history of bank fraud convictions, Association of Washington Cities was unable to bond her thus they had every incentive to cover up her crimes. Mr. Majerle knew about Ms. Hill Pennington’s criminal bank fraud convictions and extorted her into not pursuing criminal charges.
But then along came the Gold Bar Reporter, who has written extensively on Ms. Hill Pennington’s fraud; so much so that Ms. Hill Pennington filed a criminal complaint against the Gold Bar Reporter in 2016 claiming ” I cant find work because of Ms. Block’s blog.”
Joe Beavers became Mayor after Ms. Hill Pennington’s lengthy five year extra-martial affair with a forth time married man, John Edward Pennington Jr. For four years, Crystal Hill harassed his wife Ann, and in one extramarital affair with a married man, Fleshman Cooper ( the father of Hill’s child), Ms. Hill was found guilty of criminal harassment and ordered to stay away from Mr. Cooper, his wife and their child.
Fleshman Cooper’s ex-wife said ” Crystal Hill Pennington was abusing my child. I found bruises on my child, and brought charges against Crystal for criminal harassment . . . ” What Ms. Cooper didn’t know is that Crystal Hill was sleeping with several Snohomish County Sheriff’s Officers, one county Judge Joe Wilson, and three county prosecutors.
After siting by watching countless extra marital affairs committed by John E Pennington, with whores and prostitutes, John E Pennington’s marriage ended, and his mistress, Crystal Hill, who Gold Bar’s Mayor Joe Beavers said ” Crystal Hill is a whore! ” three times in Executive Session, moved in with John E Pennington in 2009.
At the time, Crystal Hill moved in with Pennington, her house was foreclosed on for failing to make a single house payment, and John E. Pennington Jr. was still married to Ann when Ms. Hill Pennington moved in with him.
“Birds of the same feathers flock together as do pigs and swine.’
In late 2012, Block v City of Gold Bar, then Gold Bar Mayor Joe Beavers was deposed and in that deposition we learned that Joe Beavers was a convicted felon from Arlington Texas. Joe Beavers sexually assaulted a female inside a bar and when a man tried to defend her, a drunkin fight broke out. Joe Beavers plead guilty to assault and was sentenced to 10 days in jail, ordered into anger management classes, and served 3 years probation.
Joe Beavers application to become a Professional Engineer was declined as a result of his felony conviction.
In late 2016, John E Pennington Jr. was fired from Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management after he was caught moonlighting on the county’s dime ( operating his own company and not paying WA State business tax) , operating and having the County taxpayers pay the Penningtons’ blog titled the Sky Valley Chronicle, and after his dereliction of his official county duties resulted in the deaths of 43 residents in the Oso mudslides.
In 2009, Dr. Hedricks from King County Washington labeled John Edward Pennington Jr. “a sociopath with no empathy for human life.” John Pennington was hospitalized at Oregon State hospital after he violently assaulted his prior fiancé in Oregon. As part of his plea deal, claiming he had a mental defect i.e. autism, John Edward Pennington Jr. would undergo mental health confinement at Oregon State Hospital instead of serving time in prison.
For six months John E Pennington Jr. filed false claims that the Gold Bar Reporter was anonymously cyber-stalking him and his family, when in fact, the Gold Bar Reporter has openly posted and appeared inside the press as Anne Block.
Fact is, the Penningtons were cyber-stalking on behalf of Snohomish County Prosecutors’ Office on a foe website titled ” The Sky Valley Chronicle” and once Attorney General Bob Fergusson learned about this – after a lawsuit was filed against the Sky Valley Chronicle – he shut them down by saying ” If you don’t stop harassing’s Block on the Chronicle, we are going to let her proceed for defamation against you.”
For years, John Pennington bragged that he was a member of an organization that vowed to protect him if he were ever sued. At the time, we had no idea that Association of Washington Cities has been covering up for pedophiles inside our government offices. Public officials have known to have trafficked underage girls and/or boys for sex include Court of Appeals Justice Marlin Applewick, King County Superior Court Judge Michael Scott, Washington State Bar Association Lead Counsel Doug Ende, and Snohomish County Commissioner G. Geoffrey Gibbs.
After the Judge held that Anne Block was a member of the press, denying the Penningtons’ request to stop our news reports on their fraud and harassment, Crystal Hill Pennington teared up, putting on a very poor acting stunt, trying to get the Judge to reconsider his decision. The Judge DENIED Ms. Hill Pennington’s attempts to restrain the Gold Bar Reporter as “Unconstitutional Restraint against Free Speech and the Free Press.”
The real reason why Pierce County denied the restraining order because the Penningtons’ were caught forging court records. Both were found liable for whiting out court service documents, and successfully sued as a result in Block v Penningtons, March 2017, King County Superior Court.
In late 2016, Ms. Hill Pennington filed a police report with Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office claiming she couldn’t find work as a result the Gold Bar Reporter’s news reports. So, as you can imagine, we were quite surprised that a twice convicted bank frauder, a person who filed fraudulent unemployment claims, was in fact found liable for not paying business tax ( King County against the Penningtons Education Services Inc.), and who was also found liable of forgery ( March 2017, Block v Pennington, King County), would be receiving any kind of government job. Especially since we already know Ms. Hill Pennington’s bank fraud convictions make her ineligible for King County, state and federal employment.
In April 2020, acting on false information Ms. Hill Pennington submitted in her job application and resume, King County hired her. This caused us to request public records involving Ms. Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) from King County. Late last week, we got some answers back learning that Ms. Hill Pennington is guilty of fraud once again, but this time in King County Washington.
Ms. Hill Pennington falsely claimed on a King County job application that she was in a Juris Doctorate ( JD Law) program ( she was DENIED entrance into an accredited JD law program because she lied on her application), she worked for various states including Maryland ( during time period where she filed a criminal complaint against the Gold Bar Reporter claiming she couldn’t find work because of our news reports on her crimes), she failed to disclose her criminal history of bank fraud convictions, and she also lied claiming that she was the City Manager for the City of Gold Bar.
According to City of Gold Bar Mayor Bill Clem, the City has never had a city manager.
Criminal complaints against Ms. Hill Pennington are pending and King County employee told the Gold Bar Reporter that Ms. Hill Pennington is being postured for lying on her job application.
Ms. Hill Pennington has never sued the Gold Bar Reporter, but we did sue her and John E Pennington Jr. for harassment, abuse of the process, and forgery. ( Block v Penningtons, King County Superior Court, March 2017) Ms. Hill Pennington and John Edward Pennington Jr. were found liable for committing forgery, abuse of the process, and harassment against the Gold Bar Reporter for reporting the truth on their rein of terror for the last decade.
______________________________________________________________________________
For Snohomish County government note this report was published from outside the State of Washington. This is mentioned because a source called the Gold Bar Reporter and said ” Ms . Hill Pennington was placed on administrative leave pending a criminal investigation into her false filings via electronic means ( according to our counsel amounts to racketeering), by a non-state investigator. She was steaming and threatening Snohomish County prosecutors and Sheriff’s Office to exposé all of them if they didn’t do something.”
The source who we labeled ” fed up” told the Gold Bar Reporter that Crystal Hill also slept with Prosecutors Adam Cornell, Sean Reay, and Mark Roe. In fact, the source said ” everyone knew Crystal Hill Pennington was having gang banging parties with many county employees for years.” It’s no wonder why former Gold Bar Mayor Joe Beavers declared in Executive Session ” Crystal Hill is whore! Crystal Hill is a whore! Crystal Hill is a whore!” and former Gold Bar council member Jay Prueher said ” Crystal Hill was a party girl.”
The Gold Bar Reporter is an award winning journalist and has been reporting on government officers corruption for a decade. What is happening in Minnesota as well as major cities throughout America is just a symptom of why persons like Crystal Hill Pennington and John Edward Pennington Jr. who have extensive criminal history are placed inside government offices like the officer who murdered George Floyd.
National Public Radio recently did a story about how the insurance company is still insuring bad state actors, covering up liability they created and allowing them to keep their jobs. Minnesota, like WA State, also uses Lloyds of London as it primary insurer of public employee’s civil and criminal misconduct.
The only issue I take with NPR story is they forgot to mention that Lloyds of London syndicates like Association of Washington Cities and Counties are insuring these people with no regard for citizens.
Three boys make allegations of child sexual abuse against King County Superior Court Judge Michael Scott
Judge Michael Scott, appointed after three boys at his church lodged sexual abuse allegations against him while he served as a deacon
Over the last few months three victims contacted the Gold Bar Reporter, alleging that King County Superior Court Judge Michael Scott sexually abused them while he served as a Deacon Grace Episcopal Church , located in Bainbridge Island, Washington.
From 1999 to 2005, three boys claimed that King County Superior Court Judge Michael Scott would groom them by buying them gifts, like candy and pornographic magazines, and often would supply marijuana and booze.
All three boys were underage at the time Michael Scott sexually assaulted them, and all three were members of the same church where Michael Scott heavily influenced that parish.
Michael Scott came under our radar as corrupt after public records reveal that he served as a Special Assistant Prosecutor for King and Snohomish County, received over 22 Million from Lloyds of London syndicates at Association of Washington Cities, worked as a Special Assistant Attorney General (SAAG) and was a paid speaker for the Washington State Bar Association without disclosing his pecuniary interests with the State of Washington and the County governments before making decisions on hundreds of cases involving his contractors (AG, Counties, AWC, WSBA).
In 2018, King County Superior Court Judge Michael Scott also heard and decide a case against a few young activist, siding with his former employer, the Washington State Attorney General’s Office, in
https://crosscut.com/2018/08/young-climate-activists-will-take-suit-higher-court
Our counsel stated that under Gonzales ruling which was handed down from the Washington Court of Appeals Division One, no judge can hear or decide a case who served as an AG, SAP, or AWC contractor when the Judge’s former employer i.e. the Counties, State of Washington, WSBA, and/or AWC are representing any party.
In civil and criminal cases, Judge Michael Scott made decisions 198 cases involving his employer/ contractor King and Snohomish Counties, AWC, AG’s Office, and the WSBA.
With no surprise, Judge Michael Scott nor his church denies that Scott molested three boys while he served as a Deacon at Grace Episcopal Church.
Is this the best that Governor Inslee could do by assigning a child molester to an open Superior Court seat?
Judge Michael Scott was contacted for comment but refused.
Snohomish County, WA, prosecutors personal meetings with judges to fix cases
A few months ago, the Gold Bar Reporter reported on the same prosecutor, Joseph Genster, fixing cases with US Federal Judge Ricardo Martinez, in the following story,
Snohomish County Prosecutor has direct line to US Federal Court Judge
A couple of months ago, we noticed that someone from Mercedes, Texas came onto the Gold Bar Reporter at the exact same time, looking at the same articles, as someone from Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office.
A few years ago, we started researching several judges, including United State Federal District Court, Seattle, Ricardo Martinez, and noticed that he still has family in Mercedes Texas.
What should be noted is that the Gold Bar Reporter has two pending lawsuits in Western Washington Federal District Court, Seattle Division. Judge Ricardo Martinez has self assigned himself to each and every case involving Gold Bar Reporter Anne Block.
Anne Block is not the only litigant suing the Washington State Bar Association (WSBA) that Judge Ricardo Martinez has self assigned himself to, Attorney Steve Eugster sued the WSBA, and Judge Martinez also self assigned himself to his case.
Noticing Mercedes Texas and Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office on the Gold Bar Reporter on the same day at the same time, looking at exactly the same article, these facts resulted in a public records request to Snohomish County government seeking three prosecutors’ telephone records, Joseph Genster, Jason Cummings, and Snohomish County’s newest racketeering thug, Adam Cornell.
We really didn’t believe that we’d get anything. But we did – and our hunch was correct, Judge Ricardo Martinez and Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office has been engaging in direct exparte communication.
Judge Martinez’s telephone number is 206-370-8999 and is posted below.
Judge Ricardo Martinez even left a two minute voice message that the County has refused to turned over. Why, can best be explained as major corruption i.e case fixing and exparte communication. As such, Snohomish County was notified that a lawsuit will be filed forcing disclosure of our telephone records.
Why hasn’t the Chief Judge of the 9th Circuit, Judge Sidney Thomas, investigated US Federal Court Judge Ricardo Martinez for corruption?

Now, public records also confirm Snohomish County Prosecutor Joseph Genster is once again caught via public records having exparte meetings with Judge Fair, a judge inside Snohomish County District Court who has been assigned to maliciously prosecute another reporter
Douglas Fair, Snohomish County District Court, public records confirm Judge having exparte meetings with County Prosecutor Joseph Genster, who according to our counsel violates the Separation of Powers Doctrine.
Click on the audio below received via RCW 42.56, seeking all of Snohomish County Prosecutor Joseph Genster’s telephone messages and text messages
______________________________________________________________________________
Separation of powers is a political doctrine originating in the writings of Charles de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu in The Spirit of the Laws, in which he argued for a constitutional government with three separate branches, each of which would have defined abilities to check the powers of the others. This philosophy heavily influenced the writing of the United States Constitution, according to which the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches of the United States government are kept distinct in order to prevent abuse of power. This United States form of separation of powers is associated with a system of checks and balances.

Take away prosecutorial and police immunity, and malicious prosecutions will end
Why should Prosecutors get immunity for deliberate misconduct?
The policy of absolute prosecutorial immunity comes not from Congress but from the Supreme Court, which took 42 U.S.C. § 1983’s command that “every person” who, acting under color of law, violates the rights of another, “shall be liable to the party injured,” and added “except for prosecutors.”
Does this mean that if a prosecutor deliberately withholds exculpatory evidence in violation of professional ethics and a defendant’s constitutional rights, and this willful misconduct results in an innocent person spending decades behind bars for a crime of which they are subsequently exonerated—the prosecutor remains immune from civil liability.
As the Gold Bar Reporter reported several times over the last ten years, such is the case time after time here in Snohomish County, Washington.
In 2019, the Washington State Court of Appeals, Division One, issued a scathing opinion against two Washington State Bar Association attorney guilty of prosecutorial misconduct ( more like criminal racketeering conduct), Sara DiVittorio.
But this was not the first go around for attorney Sara DiVittorio. Sara DiVittorio was sued for racketeering in U.S. Federal District Court in Seattle for the same criminal racketeering conduct described by the Washington Court of Appeals Division One in In re Dependency of AETH Snoho Superior behaving badly.
Instead of being disbarred like any other common criminal should be, what did Washington State Governor Jay Inslee and Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson do? They collectively appointed Sara DiVittorio to the Washington State Sunshine Committee, because we certainly need more criminals guilty of destroying and withholding evidence inside Washington State’s Sunshine Committee.
In 2019, Snohomish County Judge Anita Farris issued sanctions against Snohomish County Prosecutor Michelle Rutherford In State of Washington v Keland Guinn. for willfully withholding evidence and destroying public records to insure a criminal conviction.
Instead of being terminated for violating the rights of accused, and causing injury to public record – a felony in Washington State- our newly elected Snohomish County Prosecutor Adam Cornell wrote and submitted a lengthy declaration ( declared under oath) into the court record attempting to justify Michelle Rutherford’s criminal conduct of tampering with public records and destroying evidence. Evidence that our Supreme Court held in Brady v Maryland must be turned over the defense.
Instead of reporting their misconduct to the Washington State Bar Association for immediate disbarment, Judge Farris severely criticized Snohomish County Prosecutor Adam Cornell for defending Michelle Rutherford’s criminal conduct, stating that Cornell should have read the transcripts before defending Rutherford’s out right lies. Judge Farris did however issue an order against Prosecutor Adam Cornell stating he ‘SHALL read the court’s entire decision…as an educational requirement.”
As of today, the Washington State Bar Association has refused to take any disciplinary action against Sara DiVittorio and Michelle Rutherford for felonious conduct of tampering with public records.
Earlier this year, the Gold Bar Reporter was the first to report ” Why is Washington State’s Risk Management being run by a foreign government.” https://goldbarreporter.wordpress.com/2020/03/25/why-is-a-foreign-government-running-washington-states-risk-management/
The article addresses why Lloyds of London, a company owned and operated by a foreign government ( United Kingdom), has placed its people inside Association of Washington Cities (AWC) Olympia Office to run Washington State’s Risk Management Division, also known to Washingtonians as Association of Washington Cities.
What we didn’t know at the time was this wasn’t the first go around for Lloyds of London being accused of Racketeering. In 2017, a US Federal Court in New Jersey held that Lloyds of London’s practices outlined in a federal racketeering complaint (https://www.syndicatesettlement.com/Home/CourtDocs) amounted to RICO, conspiracy, and deceptive trade practices to conceal the lack of competition in the Lloyd’s Market.
What might shock the taxpayers is this fact: 50 % of Lloyds Market revolves around insuring agencies and states in the United States. This means that the UK government is dictating whether cases are settled, or criminal conduct of government officers is covered up to limit liability.
One such state being insured under the same fraudulent Lloyd’s scheme we have here in Washington State is the state of Minnesota. Recently, a Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, was caught on video camera kneeling on George Floyd’s neck which caused his death. But this wasn’t the first time officer Chauvin had been alleged to have violated the rights of the accused, he was also involved in three police shootings during his 19 years on the job — and has been the subject of 18 misconduct complaints.
Lloyd’s, basically a 3rd party insurance company, runs Minnesota’s risk management system, as they do in Washington State. Association of Washington Cities is a member or syndicate of Lloyds. Lloyd’s has no incentive to have its members, like Association of Washington Cities, discipline public officers because being do so, the argument is, liability attaches.
When we heard what was going on in Minnesota, we investigated one simple question: What company insures police officer Chauvin’s criminal misconduct?
Lone and behold, Minnesota’s risk management is also being ran and operated by Lloyds of London syndicates. The same criminals fined 22 M dollars for racketeering, conspiracy to harm, and colluding to deny Americans honest services.
Once again, the Gold Bar Reporter was the first to report ” Why is Washington State’s Risk Management being run by a foreign government.” https://goldbarreporter.wordpress.com/2020/03/25/why-is-a-foreign-government-running-washington-states-risk-management/
As Americans we expect that if public officials commit crimes, they get fired and prosecuted just like anyone else. Because of the way Lloyds of London has been allowed to dictate the delivery of legal and insurance services to agencies ( as well as states officers) and is employees, hiding criminal conduct of public officials like Derek Chauvin, is simply defined as “risk management” or in simpler terms, hiding misconduct of government officers to limit liability to the agencies.
Each and every judge in Washington State is insured by Lloyds of London, as are our prosecutors, attorneys who help the Association of Washington Cities, public defenders, police officers, counties, cities, private law firms that help Association of Washington Cities like Kenyon Disend, Keating, Buckling, and McCormack, Ogden Murphy and Wallace, Pacifica Law Group, Perkins Coie, Preston Ellis and Gates, Bogle 7 Gates, Lane & Powell, agency employees, and the Washington State Bar Association.
Attorney Kevin Tarvin one time said ” Do you have any idea how big this is?” At the time, we did not, but we do now, and Lloyds case fixing scheme extends into the US Federal Courts and through the US Court of Appeals 9th Circuit.
For a few weeks, we likely not post much, because we are working on something very big. Once complete, we will post it. It’s time to bring “justice and honor” back into our courts and exposé who is really operating Washington State.
Public officials misconduct will never end until the immunity shield is removed, or in the alternative, when public officials like DiVittorio, Rutherford, or Officer Chauvin commit crimes, they should be prosecuted for violations of the law just like any other common criminal.
With Lloyds of London hiding criminals conduct of agency employees like Rutherford, Chauvin, and DiVittorio, Lloyds and its syndicate like Association of Washington Cites ( California is in the same boat), Lloyd’s created a Racketeering Organization, or as former Gold Bar Mayor Joe Beavers ( a convicted felon) and Attorney Jeffrey Myers bragged , Lloyds (AWC member) had a three step approach ” Out money, defame and harass, and when that doesn’t work, discredit.”
Recall Petition Ok’d by Superior Court Judge to proceed against Snohomish County, Washington, Sheriff Adam Fortney for dereliction of his official duties as a public officer
UPDATE: Washington State Superior Court Judge Ok’d a Recall Petition filed by Snohomish County activist Lori Shavlik against Sheriff Adam Fortney. Even if the Recall doesn’t proceed, Sheriff Fortney will likely not be elected to a second term.
Sheriff Adam Fortney
On April 22, 2020, Snohomish County Sheriff Adam Fortney issued a “proclamation” that he will not enforce Governor Jay Inslee’s Stay Home, Stay Healthy Order. This after the Center for Disease Control informed America that a pandemic has erupted because of the corona-virus.
On April 23, 2020, Snohomish County resident Lori Shavlik filed a Recall Petition against Sheriff Adam Fortney.
Ms. Shavlik issued a statement “This is not about politics, this is about Law and Order. As long as he is wearing the badge and uniform of a County Sheriff, Mr. Fortney has a duty to enforce all the Laws, not just the ones he personally agrees with.”
As our County Prosecutor Adam Cornell has stated ” Mr. Fortney’s conduct is: irresponsible, unhelpful in these difficult times, and contrary to the rule of law,” And that he fears “that the recent statements of Sheriff Fortney will be interpreted by some citizens around the state to grant license to willfully and blatantly violate the law.”
Recall Petitioner Shavlik stated ” I concur with these statements of our elected County Prosecutor, and believe that Mr. Fortney should either resign or be recalled.”
Shavlik’s Recall Petition against Sheriff Adam Fortney. asserts that Sheriff Fortney is guilty of dereliction of his official duties as a public officer sworn in his Oath Of Office to uphold the laws of Washington State. Instead, Sheriff Adam Fortney decided to unilaterally declare Governor Inslee’s Order as void because he alone stated that its “unconstitutional.”
Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson agreed with Recall Petitioner Lori Shavlik, and tweeted “Sheriff Fortney does not get to decide what is constitutional. That is up to the courts.”
April 21, 2020, King 5 U Tube video, whereas Sheriff of Snohomish County, Adam Fortney, states that he will not enforce the laws of Washington State.
According to our counsel, “Adam Fortney is committing crimes against the taxpayers of Snohomish County. ”

Failure of duty by public officer a misdemeanor.
Whenever any duty is enjoined by law upon any public officer or other person holding any public trust or employment, their willful neglect to perform such duty, except where otherwise specially provided for, shall be a misdemeanor.
Sheriff Adam Fortney is no stranger to those of us who have exposing massive corruption inside Snohomish County government.
In October 2018, Snohomish County Sheriff Officer Art Wallin, a personal friend to Sheriff Adam Fortney, murdered an unarmed Snohomish County resident, Nickolas Peters. He was only 24 years of age.
After the murder of Nickolas Peters, then Snohomish County Sheriff Ty Trenary ordered an independent investigation of the murder of Peters, and the final investigative report found that Deputy Art Wallin’s murder of Peters was not warranted, further found Wallin was guilty of using excessive force. KIRO 7 reports
So what did the newly elected Sheriff Adam Fortney do? Once he was sworn in, he rehired Wallin and further misappropriated thousands of taxpayer money and issued back pay for two years.
Soon thereafter, allegations surfaced that a resident had taken a video of Deputy Wallin’s murder of Peters. The video taker was questioned by Sheriff Adam Fortney and Detective Shawn Stich, who handed a copy of the video below to both officers, and asked by Sheriff Adam Fortney to never tell anyone about the video.
Initial police reports signed and submitted into public record by Deputy Wallin, stated falsely, that Nick Peters was trying to evade the police when he shot and killed Peters, and had refused to bring his truck to a stop.
The video contradicts Deputy Wallin’s statements.
The video below shows that Nickolas Peters was not a threat to any officer, did in fact have his hands up in the air, the truck was idle not evading police as Officer Wallin falsely stated in police reports.
Deputy Wallin fired at least four gunshots at point blank rage, murdering Peters.
The above video was obtained by the public records act shows Snohomish County Sheriff Adam Fortney puling the hair of a passenger, who was already in hand cuffs laying on the ground, and slamming her head into the ground
Sheriff Adam Fortney was sworn in 2019 as Snohomish County Sheriff Officer, apparently forgot that lying and violating the civil rights of citizens hardly meets the definition of upholding the laws of Washington and complying with basic min. Constitutional provisions in place since the birth of our nation.
Sheriff Adam Fortney’s latest “disregard for human life” with disobeying the Governor’s Stay Home, Stay Healthy Order is just more evidence of his deviant criminal conduct.
Soon after the concealed video was released, Snohomish County Council voted to settle the wrongful death suit filed by the Peters’s family for $1,000,00.00, and the newly elected Sheriff Adam Fortney “rehired” Art Wallin reinstating him with back pay ( at the county taxpayers’ expense) as a deputy sheriff K-9 handler with the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.
After viewing the above video obtained under RCW 42.56, several facts are as clear as the skies over Normandy Beaches. Peters had his hands above his head in plain view of officers Wallin and Stich, his car was not moving as previously claimed by Wallin, and Deputy Stich jumped on the hood of Peters’s truck just before Wallin fired least two shots at point blank range murdering Peters.
Wallin police incident reports signed and declared to under oath falsely stated that the Peters’s truck was moving. Not sure about our readers, but not only does the video document that Wallin should be added to the Brady List ( as any other dirty lying cop should be), but it’s hard to jump on the hood of a moving truck.
Not sure about our readers, but we’re not sure how a suspect with his hands up in the air, with his car idle and not moving, could pose a physical threat to an officer, especially when that officer jumped on the hood of the suspect’s moving truck.
Let’s call it what the video clearly show it was, it was a murder of a fellow Washingtonian by our lovely Snohomish County Sheriff Officer Deputy Art Wallin.
Nothing new in Snohomish County government where the criminals are running our judiciary, our prosecutors, our public defenders, and our Sheriff Office, and being directed by Association of Washington Cities to hide and destroy public records as “risk management.”
In both these cases, Special Assistant Attorney General, Sara DiVittorio, who managed for Association of Washington Cities and the Washington State Attorney General’s Office of Risk Management ( also known as Department of Enterprise Services), Snohomish County’s Public Disclosure Unit has committed countless felonies against the taxpayers of Washington State by hiding and destroying public records to limit liability. Instead of correcting criminal behavior committed by public officials, like former Director of Emergency Management, John Edward Pennington Jr. who raped, kidnapped, and then tried to murder a 5 year old girl in Cowlitz County, Sara DiVittorio was destroying and hiding public records to limit financial liability to the agencies.
In State of Washington v Keland Guinn
769642 In re the Welfare of AH Amended MAR
Newly elected, and fine Sheriff in blue, Sheriff Adam Fortney, said his predecessor erred when he concluded Deputy Wallin violated policy, and against the advice of counsel, rehired Wallin. Adam Fortney and Art Wallin attended the Washington State Police Academy together,and have been personal friends ever since.
Snohomish County Sheriff Adam Fortney is nothing more than a common criminal and should be Recalled from office before he misappropriates additional public money to cover up the murder of your son or daughter.
We are one another’s brothers and sisters. Nickolas Peters was murdered by Snohomish County Sheriff Officer Art Wallin, and Sheriff Adam Fortney covered up his murder as a favor to a friend, Art Wallin.
Is this really the best that the voters of Snohomish County can do?
Does Snohomish County taxpayers really need another murderer on its payroll?
It’s time to Recall Snohomish County Sheriff Adam Fortney for his crimes against “we the people.”
Snohomish County Sheriff Adam Fortney’s lawyers at Keating, Bucklin, and McCormack, who helped Snohomish County cover up the murder of Nickolas Peters caught tampering with National Crime Information Center Data
Shannon Ragonesi, Ann Marie Soto, Amanda Butler
Well, well, nothing new for Association of Washington Cities star attorneys who are withholding evidence to limit financial liability to the agency. According to public records, Shannon Ragonesi and Amanda Butler, at Keating, Bucklin, and McCormack withheld the above video documenting that Sheriff Adam Fortney and Deputy Wallin belong in a federal prison.
In November 2017, the City of Gold Bar’s attorneys Ann Marie Soto, Amanda Butler, and Shannon Ragonesi decided to have a meeting with a federal witness Brandia Tamuu. Besides the obvious, tampering with a federal witness ( a felony in Washington), both entered into a bribery scheme to remove the witness’s criminal arrest warrant and criminal history from the National Crime Information Center’s (NCIC) criminal data base.
Public records from the City of Gold Bar, from November 21 to December 20, 2017, document that in November 2017, attorneys Shannon Ragonesi, Amanda Butler ( who later learned was also present) Ann Marie Soto were contacted for a meeting by a convicted animal abuser. The woman was desperate for money, had in fact tried extort the Gold Bar Reporter for money/car, and had offered to meet up with Ragonesi and Soto at the Law Firm of Keating Bucklin McCormack Inc in downtown Seattle. Brandia Tammu needed money as she was being threatened with eviction from her home. In exchange for meeting with Ragonesi and Soto, the woman would get money and her City of Everett arrest warrant and conviction for animal abuse would be cleared. Tammu claimed to have dirt on the Gold Bar Reporter, but had nothing of value except speculation on why the Gold Bar Reporter moved West, and it was quite apparent from an insider at the law office that the woman is suffering from mental health issues.
According to the woman, Ragonesi and Soto agreed to clear her criminal arrest warrant and conviction from NCIC via ACCESS.
Ragonesi and Soto also told the woman that they could issue secret subpoenas for any document they so desired, and further offered to help the woman get a restraining order against the Gold Bar Reporter’s news reports. One witness said that the woman recorded their meeting, but we have no knowledge of whether this is true or not.
The Washington State Patrol turned over the woman’s criminal history one week before and a week after the Ragonesi and Soto November 2017 bribery meeting, and it is clear that just days after this meeting, the criminal conviction record and arrest warrant were wiped from NCIC via ACCESS. The person who cleared the woman’s ACCESS records was Michael Meyers, King County police officer.
The City of Gold Bar, at the bequest of Ann Marie Soto and Shannon Ragonesi, illegally claimed that the meeting records were exempt from public disclosure. Obviously, a lawsuit forcing disclosure is coming, and Ms. Soto and Ms. Ragonesi will be deposed.
In early 2018, Gold Bar’s new Mayor Bill Clem agreed to an interview with the Gold Bar Reporter and he said ” those people who are threatening you are now threatening me.”
NCIC was created to assist law enforcement track or apprehend persons that may be a danger to society or have outstanding criminal warrants. When a police officer stops a person driving or is a suspect, s/he should know whether the person has a criminal history. For this reason, ACCESS and NCIC are searched, hopefully alerting the officer a potential danger to them or outstanding court issues of the driver or suspect. Self protection according to the US Supreme Court.
But here in Washington State, the FBI NCIC database via ACCESS is being tampered with as political favors, bribery schemes, and to enhance criminal sentencing if a defendant is convicted of crime.
Over the past year, we found case after case where mainly prosecutors inside King and Snohomish County government are illegally removing criminal history from the NCIC. Now we have direct evidence that Kenyon Disend’s attorney Ann Marie Soto and Keating Bucklin and McCormack are being paid by Washington State Attorney General’s Office as “Special Assistant Attorney Generals’ (SAAGs).
Snohomish County Prosecutor Robert Grant who participated in the sexual exploitation of a female county co-worker runs for Superior Court Judge
Political pundit, Jim Hightower said “If the Gods Had Meant Us to Vote, They’d Have Given Us Candidates”
Sadly, in Snohomish County, Washington, all the Gods keep giving us for candidates amounts to trash, like Snohomish County Prosecutor Robert Grant.
Update: Snohomish County Prosecutor Robert Grant did respond to our news report about his involvement in the disgraceful behavior of the entire Snohomish County Prosecutors’ at Lake Chelan:
I have read the articles that you have written about me and wanted to clear up a misunderstanding. Not only am I not depicted in the photograph that you believe is me, but I was not even in Chelan for that conference. I do not know who gave you the idea that this was me, but it is incorrect. I was actually at home on paternity leave with my family after the birth of my youngest son. After reading some of the comments you wrote, especially about my children, I decided it was time to make sure you are aware and that it is very clear this was not me and I was not present at that event or conference.
Thank you,
Robert Grant
Although Mr. Grant denies he was at Lake Chelan, our county source says that the picture below is in fact Robert Grant.
We’ll let our readers be the judge.
In June 2018, Snohomish County Prosecutor, and Superior Court Judge candidate, Robert Grant, sexually assaulted a co-worker, with his felonious conduct, captured on camera, on the taxpayer’s payroll while at Lake Chelan. The event was paid for by the Snohomish County taxpayers.
Above, two pictures of Snohomish County Prosecutor Robert Grant, one shows Grant sexually violating a female co-worker (caught on camera), one taken with county taxpayer monies
To add insult to Snohomish County, especially female voters, Prosecutor Robert Grant wants Snohomish County voters to appoint him to Snohomish County Superior Court judge, Position 8, a seat held by Judge Eric Z. Lucas. Lucas is not seeking reelection.
In a press release, Grant, a veteran of the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office, said he “has spent the last several years prosecuting child sex abusers, arsonists, and murderers.”
“I’m running for Superior Court Judge to bring an expert knowledge of the law – and our community values – to the bench,” said Grant. “I’m proud of the work I’ve done taking on crime over the last decade, but it’s clear I can have a greater impact reducing crime and improving our approach to criminal justice as a member of the judiciary.”
Laughable, since Prosecutor Robert Grant himself, as the picture above clearly shows, is a sexual deviant himself, who enjoys taking and disseminating pornographic pictures of a woman without her consent.
In addition to working as a prosecutor, Robert Grant serves as judge pro tempore in Edmonds and Everett. In the Prosecutor’s Office, Grant serves as a member of the gender equity committee, hiring committee, and as a mentor.
But what Prosecutor Robert Grant failed to tell the citizens of Snohomish County is that he is guilty of sexually violating a county female co-worker.
With no surprise, Grant received endorsements from public safety advocates, judges, and community leaders, including Snohomish County Prosecutor Adam Cornell.
“Robert is a champion for justice in our community and highly skilled at applying the law in a thoughtful, effective, and appropriate way,” said Cornell. “He is the kind of values-minded, impartial leader we need on the Snohomish County Superior Court bench. Robert has my full endorsement.”
Snohomish County Prosecutors Adam Cornell and Michelle Rutherford earlier this year were both cited by Judge Farris for unethical and felonious conduct of obstructing justice and destroying evidence. Any support for a candidate coming from Prosecutor Adam Cornell who was just cited for unethical conduct and obstruction of justice who was just cited for unethical conduct and obstruction of justice is just more evidence that Snohomish County Prosecutors like Adam Cornell have zero respect for their constituents, especially women.
As the Prosecutor for Snohomish County Washington Adam Cornell is the Captain of Ship, as the Washington State Bar Association held In the matter of Paul King
Snohomish County Prosecutor Adam Cornell gets a free pass by the Washington State Bar Association to commit crimes against women.
The Washington State Bar Association has yet to take a single action against any prosecutor for the sexual assault of the female co-worker. Hence why the public at large hates lawyers.
public records from Lake Chelan
To add insult to women and children, Snohomish County Prosecutor Robert Grant was also allowed to stay inside Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office working inside the sexual assault unit, Dawson Place. This after the above pictures amount to felonious crimes against a woman.
Hopefully our readers can understand why a Judge nor Prosecutors like Robert Grant has any business running a non-profit company with taxpayer monies.
If electing a sexual deviant like Snohomish County Prosecutor Robert Grant is the best Snohomish County voters can do, America is in very big trouble.
In 2018, below is a story the Gold Bar Reporter wrote about Dawson Place. A money laundering shrill to funnel millions of dollars in public monies to friends
April 18, 2018 post,
Snohomish County government making Adolf Hitler proud
The truth is sometimes a hard pill to swallow. It sometimes causes us difficulties at home and abroad. It is sometimes used by our enemies in attempts to hurt us. But the American people are entitled to it, nonetheless.
-John McCain
” We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. ” Plato
Two such judicial officers right here in Snohomish County Washington are Judge Janice Ellis and Judge George Appel. Adolf Hitler would quite proud on how our American judicial system has progressed in favor of the state.
A few weeks ago, the Gold Bar Reporter broke the story of a so called 501 (3) ( c) titled http://dawsonplace.org/.
“Dawson Place was the best kept secret” Mark Roe attested to under oath in Shavlik/West v Dawson Place. What disgraced ( and recently resigned) former Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe was referring to was a shadow government agency titled Dawson Place. This allows the County to cherry pick which cases to prosecute or which cases to sweep under the rug when Dawson Place is a participant in criminal complaints.
The true purpose of setting up Dawson Place as a non-profit is two fold.
First, there’s no doubt that Dawson Place is being used to set up defendants. Imagine this: Dawson Place, an alleged 501 (3) ( c) has Prosecutors inside, has law enforcement inside, and a store front political appointee of Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe’s childhood friend Lori Vanderburg.
Here’s how Dawson Place works. Snohomish County government refers all rape and sexually abuse allegations to Dawson Place. An alleged non-profit. At Dawson Place an alleged victim fills out an intake form. The intake form is sent to the Prosecutors, Sheriff’s department, and to Dawson Place’s political director ( and childhood friend of Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe).
Compass Health performs medical evaluations on the alleged victims, most of the time. However, to get to the medical evaluation, first a interview is set up by Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office. The interview is recorded by video means.
By claiming that Dawson Place is a non-profit group, the video is withheld under RCW 42.56 claiming that its not a public record. Participants of this interview includes Snohomish County prosecutors and sheriff’s officers inside Dawson Place, an alleged non-profit group.
But if this doesn’t strike readers as being a gross deprivation of due process rights of the accused, here’s a few more facts about how the Prosecutors and Sheriff’s Officers are fixing the entire case against those accused of child abuse and rape.
Other participants in violating the rights of the accused, Compass Health, Victim Support Services and Snohomish County Public Defenders Association.
Compass Health is simply a store front shrill so Snohomish County Prosecutors can fix cases against the accused. Compass Health makes decisions about whether someone is competent to stand trial and whether or not a victim at Dawson Place has or has not been violated by the accused.
When a defendant is charged with molesting or rape of a child, Compass Health performs the mental health evaluation for Snohomish County Judiciary. The mental health evaluation is then sent to the trial judge for determination on whether a defendant is competent to stand trial.
We could find not one single case in which Compass Health did not state that a defendant was competent to stand trial when the case referral came from Dawson Place.
So imagine this. You are a defendant charged with the hideous crime of raping or molesting a child. First point of order, Judge Appel or Judge Ellis are mainly assigned to as the trial judge in your case. They refer you over to Compass Health to obtain a mental health evaluation. Compass Health is also in charge of collecting evidence on whether the victim who is alleging you either molested or raped them can move forward for physical evidence ( often sperm).
Second, this allows Snohomish County Prosecutors to fix all cases at all levels. And it only gets worse.
Imagine the Judge assigned to adjudicate your case never discloses to you that she or he also worked at Dawson Place and had helped start Dawson Place, this so called 501 (3) ( c).
If this inst bad enough, hold onto your seats. After Dawson Place’s Board ( which includes Snohomish County Prosecutors and Sheriff) holds meetings and votes on whether to prosecute your case, it’s assigned often to a public defender.
Snohomish County Public Defenders Association’s Director/attorney and partner Vicki Norris is from the law firm of Anderson Hunter. Ms. Norris is married to a former partner from the Law Office of Anderson Hunter, Robert Leach. Mr. Leach received a political appointment to Washington Court of Appeals Div. One. .
Robert Leach’s political appointment was made by Governor Christine Gregoire. Robert Leach’s gift to Ms. Gregoire included a deferral of a valid Bar complaint filed against Ms. Christine Gregoire. The Bar complaint was filed by attorney/.activist John Scannell. Allegations were that Gregoire missed a filing deadline costing the taxpayers of Washington State over $25,000,000.00 while she was the Attorney General of Washington State.
Vicki Norris, Judge Robert Leach’s wife was on the Washington State Bar Association’s Disciplinary Review Committee Gregoire’s Bar complaint was filed by Scannell. Washington State Bar Association’s Review Committee makes decision on whether to proceed or not proceed with an investigation on the attorney member.
In the case of the Bar complaint attorney John Scannell filed against Governor Gregoire, Vicki Norris lost it or at least claimed she did.
At the time of Gregoire’s appointment of Robert Leach to Division One Court of Appeals, Robert Leach had zero judicial experience. We call it what it is, a tit for tat political appointment for thwarting a valid Bar complaint against then Attorney General Christine Gregoire for costing the taxpayers of Washington State $25,000,000.00 for missing simple court deadlines.
The OK Boys Home lawsuits were settled as a result of AG Gregoire’s missing a simple deadline ( statute of limitations). However, what our readers should know is why the OK Boys became a law suit. Inside the Ok Boys home, several foster boys made allegations of sexual abuse against politicians from Olympia, and the main reason why Governor Gregoire’s decided to throw the case by missing a simple filing deadline. By doing so, this forced the State to settle the case.
This allowed a major cover up of known politicians who sexually abused foster boys inside the Ok Boys Home. Soon we will release a list of politicians involved in molesting foster boys inside the Ok Boys Home, so hold onto your seats, grab some popcorn and beer, as this list is a list that includes why terminated/disgraced former Dept of Emergency Management Director John E. Pennington has been extorting his way out of criminal prosecutions for years. Criminal prosecutions include abuse of women and children and killing 43 people in the Oso mudslides, because instead of doing his job, Pennington was off on east coast performing functions for FEMA. The Office of Inspector General’s Office told the Gold Bar Reporter that any agency employee receiving a single dime of federal money is not eligible for FEMA contracts; and Snohomish County Ordianace prohibits all salaried employees from working any other job.
But this list explains why mainly politicians like John E Pennington, Marlin Applewick, and Ken Hoover get a free pass on allegations of child abuse here in Washington State.
Simply put, Dawson Place perverts justice by making the workings inside Dawson Place not public record.
Not only does Dawson Place hide who filed the criminal complaints, but it also hides who those complaints were filed against i.e. politicians. As reported last week, it was set up by Snohomish County Prosecutor now Judge Janice Ellis with 95 % of public monies.
I rightfully call Dawson Place a sham, and by perverting justice by its set up, also argue that its guilty of Sherman Anti Trust violations. Perhaps the Gold Bar Reporter will file a taxpayer standing suit soon.
Now onto another scam 501 (3) (c), i.e. Victim Support Services (VSS). VSS receives its referrals solely from Snohomish County Prosecutors office as does Snohomish County public defense contracts. In other words, not only does Snohomish County control and operate a secret organization titled Dawson Place, it also controls the Snohomish County Public Defenders contracts and VSS.
Snohomish County Prosecutor Adam Cornell has been quite busy learning how to thwart the legal rights of Defendants here in Snohomish County. Up until we started investigating VSS, Adam Cornell was the Director and Board Member of Victims Support Services. But it gets better, so too was a public defender named Tom Cox.
So imagine, you are charged with the crime of molesting or raping a child. Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office refers your criminal defense to Tom Cox or worse Phil Sayles. Both are supporters or Board Members of VSS. What a conflict to be supporting another alleged non-profit group VSS, while at the same time hand picked by the Snohomish County Prosecutors Office to defend criminal prosecutions against the accused.
Overall, here’s our findings. Snohomish County Government decides who gets assigned to defend you when you’re charged with a crime. The taxpayers are paying for your defense, and it Snohomish County that hand picks which incompetent public defender gets assigned. Seldom do you the accused get a public defender who hasn’t failed the Bar countless times, nor do you get to have someone defend you who hasn’t been referred by Snohomish County Prosecutors.
We rightfully call this case fixing at every level. With the cards stacked against the accused, is there such a thing as a fair trial? If true, should not the officials involved herein be prosecuted for violating the civil rights of the accused or charged with RICO?
Snohomish County’s Malicious Prosecution of Immigrant Ramanveer Bains
Good morning Saudi Arabia, Snohomish County Washington has a lot in common i.e. fixing cases to condemn the accused for life. Thankfully because of Governor Jay Inslee’s moratorium against the death penalty, Snohomish County wont be able to put you to death.
See https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/washington-governor-announces-moratorium-executions
In June 2017, Snohomish County activist/journalist Lori Shavlik discovered what’s really happening inside Dawson Place i.e. Snohomish County Child Advocacy Services. In 2017, Lori Shavlik field suit against Dawson Place for access to public records. She correctly alleged that Dawson Place is a secret government agency hiding behind non-profit status ( 501 (3) ( c).
Ms. Shavlik correctly pointed out that Snohomish County Prosecutors started Dawson Place and they did so with 95 % of public monies. The total amount of public monies Dawson Place has received thus far exceeds 27 million. She also pointed out that Dawson Place performs mainly government functions of law enforcement and prosecutor decisions.
Strangely most the millions of public monies received by Dawson Place never make it to its tax returns.
Much of what was reported herein would not have been possible without her persistent digging inside public records.
In November 2017, the Gold Bar Reporter sat in the audience listening to oral argument in Shavlik/West v Dawson Place. The issue: is Dawson Place public agency under Our Supreme Court’s Telford holding, thus subject to RCW 42.56 ( the Public Records Act).
For those not familiar with Telford’s holding, here’s a link that might help:
http://joethomas.org/2016/02/washington-public-records-quasi-govermnet-agency-test/
Every judge inside Snohomish County voluntarily disqualified themselves except Judge George Appel and Judge Cindy Larson.
Public records from various news sources confirm that both Cindy Larsen and Judge George Appel worked inside Dawson Place as prosecutors for Snohomish County. Judge Janice Ellis, while acting as prosecutor in Snohomish County, started Dawson Place with former Prosecutor Seth Dawson. Hence how Dawson Place got its name. For those of who knew Seth Dawson as the corrupt prosecutor he is, naming Dawson Place after him was just a little booster.
There’s no doubt about it, Judge Janice Ellis helped Prosecutor Seth Dawson start Dawson Place. She did so with mainly public monies. She solicited public monies in violation of Washington State’s Public Disclosure laws, thumbed her nose at the rule of law, and misappropriated hundreds of thousands of public resources to help start Dawson Place.
The Gold Bar Reporter reported Judge Janice Ellis’s involvement in all of this a few weeks ago.
See https://goldbarreporter.org/2018/08/
Since the above expose’ on Dawson Place, the Gold Bar Reporter has since learned that there are countless cases that should be investigated, one such case is the case against Ramanveer Bains.
For those of my readers who have a slant against Muslims, please don’t send hate mail, unless you’d like your comments public. In addition, please note that the Gold Bar Reporter’s ancestors were German and Austrian immigrants. In other words, the Gold Bar Reporter doesn’t have time for your hatred based solely on religious beliefs and attempts to control the Biblical story.
My only God is ” justice” and she sees nor has any favored religion nor favored color of a human’s skin to distinguish between who gets justice inside our courtrooms and who does not. Justice is defined by honest services. As my readers can see, honest services is something missing inside Snohomish County Washington. Why is simple, because instead of prosecuting criminals, attorneys are siphoning public money and holding kangaroo proceedings with incompetent defense attorneys whose only interest is not working or just simply incompetent like Phil Sayles ( Division One held that Sayles was ineffective assistance of counsel, a disbarable event).
Judge George Appel’s crimes against Ramanveer Bains
the above opinion letters were signed by Snohomish County employees, Detective R. Lewis, Christopher Yue, Keri Wallace, Kaia Scott, Amanda Harpell, and Cindy Larsen and was originally posted on https://www.heraldnet.com/opinion/appel-works-with-child-advocates/
Ramanveer Bains was first accused of raping a 12 year old boy. There was no physical evidence of a rape, confirmed by Compass Health. Instead of admitting that Snohomish County screwed up, under the disgraced and retired Lisa Paul, Snohomish County Prosecutors decided the best way cover up their conspiracy to harm an immigrant was to prosecute Mr Bains on a lesser charge. But there was only one problem, the 12 year old child gave over six (6) different stories and none amounted to Mr. Bains being guilty of anything except a 12 year old child being lonely after school friending a neighbor who happens to be a Muslim immigrant.
Another journalist sat down with Ramanveer Bains last week and learned that he doesn’t speak nor understand English. Although not the central point of this article, we did run a check on his court record and found no evidence that Mr. Bains was offered nor received an interpreter. What Mr. Bains did receive was a clean bill of health from Compass Health stating that he was competent to stand trial.
Trial begins. Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office hand picks the public defender. Neil Patterson and Tom Cox.
In the Bains appeal, who is better equipped to throw the case but a known member of the County’s little scam, attorney Tom Cox. Tom Cox, as my readers may recall, is also a good friend to Snohomish County Prosecutor Adam Cornell, and both served on Victim Support Services Board together.
So imagine this. Mr. Baines has a public defender and good friend of the lead Dawson Place prosecutor Adam Cornell assigned by Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office to defend against allegations that he molested or sought sexual gratification from a 12 year boy. Snohomish County started Dawson Place. Dawson Place decides who gets prosecuted and who doesn’t; Dawson Place, Snohomish County Prosecutors and Sheriff’s Officers meet and vote on whether to prosecute you or not. They do this behind closed doors and then claim that this Board is not subject to the Open Public Meetings Act. Once the decision is made to prosecute you, Snohomish County assigns you the accused to Compass Health. Compass Health is also a participant on whether or not there’s enough evidence to proceed with a criminal prosecution of you or not. However, once Snohomish County/ Dawson Place files the complaint against you the accused, Snohomish County Judiciary shuffles you the accused back to Compass Health for a competency test. Compass Health is allowed to makes decisions on whether to prosecute and also whether you are competent to stand trial .
Fixing cases, or money laundering or perhaps both?
After Compass Health decides that you the accused are competent ( as there is no case where Compass Health ever held that a defendant wasn’t competent to stand trial), next point of order from our good friends inside Snohomish County is what judge will be assigned.
Lo and behold, two Judges are almost always assigned to adjudicate Dawson Place cases, Judge George Appel and Judge Janice Ellis. Remember from the above Herald opinion piece, Judge Appel worked inside Dawson Place, and from my past article from August 2018, Judge Janice Ellis started Dawson Place and had a pecuniary interest by way of a 12 % loan.
Not once did Judge George Appel disclose his participation in Dawson Place to Mr. Bains.
For Mr. Bains, this little racketeering scheme denied him access to Justice. Judge George Appel never not once disclosed to Ramanveer Bains or in a open hearing that he worked inside Dawson Place. Perhaps if Mr. Bains had known, he might have exercised his right to ‘ disqualify a Snohomish County judge as a matter of right once.” But Mr. Bain did not because Judge George Appel did not disclose that while he was a Prosecutor he worked inside Dawson Place. Obviously, if you’re a corrupt judge, you can’t fix cases if the accused is informed, and as for Ramanveer Bains, a man who speaks little English, he was doomed from the get go.
Doomed, not only because George Appel thought it was justifiable to violate the rights of the accused, but also because Mr. Bains’s does not understand English, and with the anti-Muslim rhetoric in this so called American democracy lately, Mr. Bains had no idea about this little racketeering scam he was up against.
In 2016, Ramanveer Bains was convicted not of child rape as originally pursued by our disgraceful excuse for Prosecutors, but for sexual gratification involving a minor. But wait, one last piece of information, the 12 year child was interviewed six (6) times yielding a different statement in all six interviews. The Prosecutor used only the interview that supported its position, and then hide the rest under seal from the jury, and Judge Appel squashes any attempt to include the other six interviews. Thus, fixing the case against Mr. Bains.
As for Mr. Bains so called public defender, he did nothing except agree to “seal Dawson Place interviews” so that Mr. Bains could not use the interviews to support his appeal.
Mr. Bains remains imprisoned for a crime he may or may not have committed. With the cards stacked against the accused, we may never know if Mr. Bains committed the crime he was found guilty of. Until Mr. Bains gets a fair trial, we shall never know.
We do however know that Ramanveer Bains had no past criminal history whatsoever.
You decide is this is our so called American Democracy or not? The only advocate on the 9th Circuit for Justice was the former Chief Justice Alex Kozinski, but false allegations against Justice Kozinski managed to conspire to push him out of the 9th Circuit.

We are going to make the sun shine again in Snohomish County
In 2017, we started investigating Dawson Place as Snohomish County’s little domestic spy organization, and in 2018, we affirmatively had uncovered much more, including siphoning of public monies in favor of Anderson Hunter Law Firm, mainly G. Geoffrey Gibbs. Geoffrey Gibbs was convicted of fraud by the Washington State Attorney General’s Office during the 1990s and suspended from Lobbying permanently as a result. Gibbb’s crimes including shuttling terminated John E. Pennington and Court of Appeals Justice Marlin Appelwick to a brothel just outside Portland Oregon to have sex with under age women.
In my opinion, anyone who travels interstate to have sex with underage girls is a pedophile and involved in child sex trafficking. An issue for later articles.
But ask readers to think long and hard why Snohomish County set up Dawson Place, and check the FBI stats on reports of child sex abuse cases. Reporting the truth doesn’t sell houses, and from past public records from Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe’s house, its clear he and his wife Lisa Paul have been given inside information from the developers on what land deals to make. Roe and Paul profited in excess of $500,000.00 by given a scent from the developers early plans to develop Goodwin Lake in Stanwood.
One of the same issues that gave rise to the investigation of Gold Bar’s former Mayor Crystal Hill ( convicted of bank fraud in 2000, 2005). At the time we started investigating Crystal Hill for fraud, it was clear based on her actions in favor of the developers that she had an interest in annexing unincorporated Gold Bar. Ms. Hill even threatened a Gold Bar Planning Commissioner who opposed her plans to develop.
John Pennington, man who killed 43 people in Oso mudslides, kicked out of University of Alaska for falsifying his academic credentials
After careful investigations of John and Crystal Hill Pennington in 2017, we also discovered that John Edward Pennington Jr were charged with failing to pay and file state tax returns, sued by the Washington State Attorney General’s Office for not paying their taxes and found liable, WA State v John and Crystal Pennington Case No: 17-2-06169-7.
In King County, Washington. Crystal Hill Pennington and John Pennington were also caught in 2016 filing false unemployment claims.
John Edward Pennington Jr. is also the man who violently assaulted a 3rd trimester pregnant council member in Duvall Washington.
Gold Bar Reporter’s Response:
When John Pennington killed 43 people in the Oso Mudslides, he was deposed and had to admit he is using false academic credentials and had no experience to hold Region 10 FEMA seat. When asked why he left, John Pennington lied and said he went from FEMA to Snohomish County. Not true.

Here’s the link to just one article written about John E. Pennington, keep in mind we have never been sued. If someone called me a pedophile, they’d be sued; John Pennington tried suing Anne Block for a restraining order but lost after Block produced evidence that John Pennington enjoys taking showers with six year old girls.
A person close to his wife (a convicted bank frauder), Crystal Hill Pennington said ” John has been molesting Hill’s daughter. He gets away with it because Crystal’s daughter has no father to protect her. When John Pennington was violently beating on Crystal’s son, his father stepped and obtained custody removing him from their Duvall home.”
Lets face it, if someone called me a pedophile, we’d sue um.
John Pennington’s statements:
Director, FEMA Region X
FEMA
Speaker Pro Tempore / State Representative
State of Washington
Prior to his emergency management and homeland security experience, Mr. Pennington served for four elected terms in Washington’s House of Representatives, representing 160,000 residents in the southwest part of the state, home to Mt. St. Helens.
At the age of thirty, he was unanimously elected as Washington’s 11th House Speaker Pro Tempore and he continued in that position until his departure for federal service after the tragic events of September 11th, 2001. During his tenure in..
Gold Bar Reporter’s Response:
The above clip came from Longview Washington Daily News Pennington mum on European Trip
Yes indeed Mr. Pennington was elected, because he ran opposed each term. This does not mean he was “unanimously elected.” It just means no one ran against him. Just evidence of more misrepresentations by Penny.
In 1999, John E Pennington was appointed by Court of Appeals Division One Judge Marlin Applewick was ” House Speaker Pro Tem, after abandoning the Republican Party in Olympia when they needed only one vote to win a hotly contested Legislative Session.
John E Pennington Jr. lied and said he was sick when in fact newspaper articles document that he was in Europe vacationing instead of supporting the Republican Party when they needed his vote the most. OUr sources stated that Pennington was with his mistress ( a Senate clerk) in Europe paid for by Democratic Party of Washington State.
The newspaper article above says it all.
” Marlin Applewick was caught with Lobbyist and attorney G. Geoffrey Gibbs and John E Pennington flying down to to Olympia to have sex with underage girls” according to the former Washington State Attorney General in charge of investigating Geoffrey Gibbs.
Just more evidence that John E Pennington Jr is s pedophile, but it’s also evidence that two other political cockroaches traffic our children as though its just another day at the office.
John Pennington’s almost true statements:
- University of Alaska Fairbanks
University of Alaska Fairbanks
Doctor of Philosophy – PhD (In Progress)Indigenous Studies (Arctic)
Gold Bar Reporter’s Response:
The University of Alaska Fairbanks confirmed that John Edward Pennington Jr was expelled for falsifying is academic credentials. He had no Graduate Entrance Exam (GRE) on file, no sealed academic transcripts with California Coastal College ( no surprise since Pennington purchased his BA for $1500 flat fee without ever attending a single class), and falsely stated that American Military University is was Accredited by US Department of Education when in fact it was subject of a PBS special titled “Education Inc.” documenting that the online college amounts to fraud.
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
FALSE ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS, JOHN E. PENNINGTON’S FRAUD
UPON THE TAXPAYERS
http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d04771t.pdf ( GAO)
http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/local-fema-chief-had-little-disaster-experience/ ( Seattle Times report on John Pennington’s false credentials)
Please see the attached ABOVE PDF Government Accountability Report ( or link provided above) on public official John E Pennington’s online diploma mill school of choice. I also include Seattle Times article in support of John Pennington’s false academic credential.

As for Pierce College, I’d like some comment from the Dean of Students and/or Board of Trustees Chair Ms. Roseblatt on why Pierce College approved employment of John E. Pennington with such fraudulent degrees.
As a taxpayer, I have standing to bring not only a criminal complaint for John Pennington false filings, but also a civil charge for state ethics violations.
Our children deserve better from us.
VERBALLY ASSAULTING COURT OFFICERS
John E. Pennington has yet one more credential to add his resume, threatening public and court officers.
With each new credential, the Gold Bar Reporter will update his resume.
Criminal charges have been filed against John E Pennington with his court appearance this month.
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
False academic credentials—Unlawful issuance or use—Definitions—Penalties.
According to Pierce College, Tacoma, John E. Pennington did fraudulently use false Academic credentials to obtain a position at the College by falsely submitting that he has accredited college degrees.
John E. Pennington did knowingly falsify his academic credentials to Pierce College to obtain a employment, and is guilty of this crime as well.
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.
For those of my readers who haven’t read my last articles on John Pennington’s criminal history, please see below. The Gold Bar Reporter has NEVER been sued but welcome a suit.
John Pennington, terminated for Snohomish County
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 ( 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:
(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.”
“ As the receiver of this message, you may not like my message, but nonetheless such messages are protected by the First Amendment, under RCW 4.24.510, and by ORDER of the U.S. Supreme Court. See City of Houston v. Hill, 482 U.S. 451 (1987). “
