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? Lets not forget that Adolph Hitler convinced millions of German’s to support him with this slogan ” MAKE GERMANY GREAT AGAIN.“
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.
One of my readers asked whether Trump’s statements were protected free speech, and here’s what the US Supreme Court held ” Confronted in Stewart v. McCoy (2002) with an individual who had been accused of advising gang members on how to organize themselves, Justice John Paul Stevens, in an opinion commenting on the Court’s denial of certiorari in the case, stated: “Long range planning of criminal enterprises — which may include oral advice, training exercises, and perhaps the preparation of written materials — involves speech that should not be glibly characterized as mere ‘advocacy’ and certainly may create significant public danger.”
Four people are dead because Trump and his son Don Jr. incited and instigated violent people to commit violent acts in his name, and Don Jr. advocated and instigated a crowd to overthrow our government yesterday. Hardly free speech; sounds more like treason.
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, had his wife’s family chain immigrant to the US but denying others a right to immigrate, 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 are signs of a failure and a con artist.
My father served in World War II, never filed bankruptcy, was a dedicated federal government employee, treated women with respect, and was married to my mother for 36 years. He set the example of how a good American male should be behave, these attributes that have served me in my own relationships.
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 Constitution 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.”

SEATTLE’S EPSTEIN
A Dangerous Criminal Has Exposed a Multi-Billion Dollar
National RICO Implicating Public Officials & Lloyd’s of London
Involving Public Officials in Washington State

Update: Overlake Hospital, Bellevue, Washington confirms it hired John Edward Pennington Jr., a man declared by King County, Washington, Dr Marsha Hedricks to be “sociopath with no empathy for human life” as Emergency Management Director.
Mr. Pennington and his forth wife, Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg convicted of bank fraud, 2000, 2005) are being sued for racketeering.

Lisa Brock
Chief Human Resources Officer & Chief Compliance Officer
According to Overlake Board Members, Lisa Brock, Overlake Hospital, Bellevue, Washington, hired John Edward Pennington Jr. without running a single background check, and knowing he falsified academic and work credentials. A major breach to the health and welfare of patients.
Our readers should know that the Gold Bar Reporter has never been sued.
Seattle, Washington State Oct. 17, 2020. “I will never be charged with a crime because we have people in every position of government who will always protect me,” boasted John Pennington to his ex-mother-in-law, Linda Laughlin. “If anyone ever tries to come after me the black hawk helicopters will be coming after them.”
Yet as a direct result of Mr. Pennington’s retaliation against a Seattle area legal scholar and journalist, together with his remarkable hubris, alleged career criminal John Edward Pennington Jr.’s life of fraud, forgery, federal crimes, kidnaping, rape, child molestation, attempted murder of a 5 year old girl, and killing may finally be coming to an end.
The decade and a half effort to bring Mr. Pennington to justice has not only exposed Mr. Pennington’s extensive criminal history, the pursuit of justice has also unraveled the vast national network of corruption that protects him. Dozens of public officials, including judges, are implicated.
The cost of the network’s crimes to countless people is nearly incalculable. The financial cost, however, of Mr. Pennington’s exposure of the criminal network will likely be counted in the tens of billions of dollars by the complicit parties, including Lloyd’s of London, according to attorneys and expert witnesses.
Washington State, where Mr. Pennington resides, is a model of the way the national fraud, a federal RICO, operates on a state-by-state basis according to both the court record and legal experts. In Washington, the suit alleges, complicit public officials act jointly at the direction of the States’ Attorney General (AG) and the States’ insurer.
The State Attorney General directs, operates, and controls the State Bar Association, attorneys under contract with the State called “Special Assistant Attorney Generals (SAAGs),” “Special Assistant Prosecutors,” prosecutors, judges, and the State Commission on Judicial Conduct. The AG acts at the direction of the State’s insurer, the Association of Washington Cities (AWC). AWC, in turn, is essentially an operating unit of Lloyd’s of London, according to court records.
The tireless effort to bring Mr. Pennington and his network of supporters to justice, all of whom are members of the federal RICO, has been led by Seattle-area Journalist Anne Block, J.D., the publisher of the award-winning Gold Bar Reporter. Prior efforts of Ms. Block to hold public officials accountable have resulted in the exposure of extensive public corruption in throughout Washington State, particularly Snohomish County, as well as the termination and criminal conviction of a public employee.
In the process of exposing Mr. Pennington’s criminal activity and the RICO network of corruption associated with him, Ms. Block is currently subject to near constant personal surveillance, harassment, government gang stalking, cybercrime attacks, and death threats. According to court records and legal experts, she has been illegally targeted with retaliatory lawsuits and the unlawful revocation of her law license by the Bar Association of the state she resides in – an organization with a fundamental mandate to protect her legal rights. She appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Her case passed the first review. Those familiar with the case, with critical First Amendment and due process issues, believe it was later declined for review due to the Court’s backlogged calendar.
Based on court records, however, all of the attempts to intimidate Ms. Block appear not only to have failed, but have served to exponentially amplify her conviction and efforts, as well as those of her supporters. The retaliation has also exposed the people in the network who have supported Mr. Pennington, the way the network functions, and its broad range of criminal activities.
The progressive exposure of corruption involving Mr. Pennington and his associates has been in direct proportion to Ms. Block’s success. She has gained a growing national network of support, the attention of federal law enforcement, and the interest of the national press for violations of her First Amendment rights. The legal actions she has filed have documented extensive and brazen criminal activity by dozens of public officials, including judges, sheriff’s offices, prosecutors, and others in the RICO.
“Anne Block has exposed the largest criminal system involving public officials in the history of Washington State,” said federal appellate attorney John Scannell. “The entire Washington State and national federal RICO [racketeering] enterprise has been revealed as a result of Anne’s investigation of John Edward Pennington Jr.’s crimes.”
Ms. Block’s investigation of Mr. Pennington has in fact yielded a trail of federal crimes across the nation. Mr. Pennington’s alleged crimes include serial rape, several domestic violence charges, forgery, fraud, serial child molestation and negligent homicide resulting in 43 deaths – all of which Ms. Block has meticulously documented. Regardless of the evidence presented to public officials and in the court record, Mr. Pennington has not been convicted of a single crime.
Among the carnage spanning decades, Ms. Block discovered that Mr. Pennington is the prime suspect in the kidnapping, rape, and attempted murder of a five-year old girl in Cowlitz County, Washington. According to the Alaska State Police, Mr. Pennington is also a “person of interest” in a recent disappearances of young women in the State of Alaska have also coincided with Mr. Pennington’s presence there; and a person of interest in the disappearance of others in four other states where public gas receipts show he had close temporal proximity to missing persons.
Mr. Pennington’s domestic violence incidents include the brutal beating of an ex-wife while in her third trimester of pregnancy. A King County court-ordered psychiatric evaluation of Mr. Pennington by Dr. Marsha Hedricks concluded that he is “a sociopath with no empathy for human life whatsoever.” Dr. Hedrick’s report made clear that Mr. Pennington is completely incapable of recognizing the value of any living being.
Mr. Pennington’s frauds include providing false credentials to secure several former positions: as Regional Director of FEMA; as Director of Emergency Management for Snohomish County, Washington; for his current teaching job with Pierce College, Washington; and recently his attempt to gain admission to a Ph.D. program in Alaska, which Ms. Block ended by providing documentation of Mr. Pennington’s falsified background to University of Alaska, Fairbanks.
While working as Snohomish County’s Director of Emergency Management (DEM), Mr. Pennington tried to rape a Public Records Officer inside DEM. He locked the door of his office, cornered the employee, the sexually assaulted her. To cover up Mr. Pennington’s attempted rape, then Snohomish County Executive and Mr. Pennington’s close friend Aaron Reardon offered the victim a money settlement with taxpayer monies.
Mr. Reardon’s proposal was for the equivalent of two years’ pay in addition to a $32,000 raise and promotion to the position of Deputy Assistant Director of Emergency Management. Mr. Reardon’s offer was – illegally – contingent upon the victim not reporting the rape. A simple bribe. The victim, being in a politically and financially compromised situation, accepted. When Mr. Reardon was terminated, the victim was immediately fired from Snohomish County, but rewarded with a new job as Director of Emergency Management for the City of Marysville, Washington.
Regardless of Mr. Pennington’s long history of criminal activity and being “…completely incapable of recognizing the value of human life,” as stated in the referenced psychiatric assessment by Dr. Marsha Hedricks, the serial criminal’s rise to power began when he found an uncontested legislative seat in rural Washington State. Running unopposed, he put his name on the ballot and was elected to the legislature.
After he was elected, Mr. Pennington quickly ingratiated himself with the State’s influential and powerful. Perhaps most notable among his legislative peers and colleagues at the time was Washington State’s current Attorney General Bob Ferguson, in addition to current Snohomish County Commissioner G. Geoffrey Gibbs, and State Court of Appeals Judge Marlin Appelwick.
Mr. Pennington’s position in state legislature, however, soon ended after being caught misrepresenting his residence and abandoned his seat as a political favor to the Democratic Party.
After Mr. Pennington abandoned his seat in the legislature, he again leveraged his former legislative position into an appointment as the Regional Director of FEMA – with false credentials, no experience, and no background check. His position with FEMA was equally brief.
Mr. Pennington was soon fired by FEMA for his personal use of federal government credit cards, and after the FBI finally ran an extensive criminal background investigation. Once again, however, Mr. Pennington used his former positions as State Legislator and subsequent FEMA Directorship to gain employment as Snohomish County, Washington’s Director of Emergency Management. County officials failed to check Mr. Pennington’s credentials, experience, and background.
The negligent hiring of Mr. Pennington by Snohomish County Officials would come with an historically high price. While acting as Director of Emergency Management, Mr. Pennington had repeatedly been advised by several experts that the Oso, Washington area of Snohomish County, Washington should be evacuated. The federal government had provided funding to Snohomish County for the purchase of properties at risk. All Mr. Pennington had to do was write the checks. He failed.
With his falsified credentials, and illegally distracted with personal business interests, Mr. Pennington failed to act. His failure to act resulted in the greatest loss of life from a landslide in U.S. history. As Mr. Pennington had been advised would occur, on March 22, 2014, a massive section of Oso, Washington collapsed into the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River. 43 people were killed, with hundreds of other injuries to people and their animals, in addition to the loss of 49 homes.
Mr. Pennington was nowhere to be found. He was finally contacted on the East Coast, where he was discovered to be illegally operating his privately-owned emergency management services company. https://govtribe.com/agency/federal-agency/federal-emergency-management-agency-preparedness-section As people were dying, Mr. Pennington refused to return to Washington State. Wanting the spotlight, he prohibited rescue operations from beginning. Three days later he returned.
“Having John Pennington, ‘a sociopath with no empathy for human life,’ according to the court’s mental health expert Dr. Marsha Hedricks, in charge of Emergency Management for Snohomish County was like putting the Green River Killer in charge of a domestic violence shelter,” said Ms. Block of the Gold Bar Reporter. “But isn’t the larger question for all of us ‘how is John Pennington getting away with countless federal and state crimes?’”
“Isn’t he responsible for having committed negligent homicide in the deaths of 43 people? Why no charges? Why isn’t Pennington being prosecuted for serial molestation, rape and violent crimes? Why no prosecution for a series of frauds against the County, the State, and the Federal Government? Why isn’t he being prosecuted for the rape and attempted murder of that five-year old child in Cowlitz County?” said Ms. Block.

Federal Court Documents Allege that Attorney
Michael Kenyon and his Law Firm Kenyon Disend are
Active Participants in an Ongoing Federal RICO.
The first answer may be found in two words: Michael Kenyon. Mr. Kenyon, a friend of Mr. Pennington, was City Attorney for Kelso, Washington at the time of Mr. Pennington’s kidnapping, rape, and attempted murder of the five-year old girl. Two witnesses clearly identified Mr. Pennington as the man whom they saw throw the child’s body over a rural bridge. With equal clarity, one witness identified his car. The case looked solid according to the lead Detective on the case, Maurice Saxon.
Under the jurisdiction of City Attorney Michael Kenyon, however, the rape kit disappeared. As Mr. Pennington was to assume office as a Legislator, Mr. Kenyon left his $43,000 job as City Attorney. Directly thereafter, Mr. Kenyon received millions of dollars in state contracts to provide legal services for government agencies – contrary to state law, without open bidding. https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=39.26
Mr. Kenyon had never before received a government contract. Regardless of the evidence against Mr. Pennington, under Mr. Kenyon’s administration, the rape and attempted murder of the child were coincidently never prosecuted. According to lead detective Maurice Saxon ” John Pennington is the man that raped that 5 year old girl and I have been following him ever since.”
If Mr. Kenyon and his law firm are the first answer as to how Mr. Pennington is allegedly able to act with impunity, the second answer relates to an apparent parallel between Mr. Pennington’s methods and those of Jeffrey Epstein.
While acting as a state legislator, Mr. Pennington had a close association with then lobbyist G. Geoffrey Gibbs. Mr. Gibbs, who is now a Snohomish County commissioner, is alleged to have hosted legislators for underage sex junkets to Portland, Oregon on his private plane, according to Ms. Block.
Accompanying Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Pennington were with Mr. Marlin Applewick, now a state appellate judge, and Mr. John Lovick, currently a State Legislator. John Lovick was recently exposed for masturbating on the side of a 12 year girl’s bed. Washington State Child Protective Services issued child abuse findings against Representative Lovick and Washington State paid off the victim and her family.
According to insiders, Mr. Pennington took pictures of the group engaged in sex acts with children. Children entrapped in the child sex trafficking industry, and has leveraged his evidence against those crimes and his relationships with other state public officials, including judges and the Attorney General of Washington State, to make himself immune from the law, alleges Ms. Block.
None of the men were ever charged or prosecuted for their alleged sex crimes with children and all still occupy public office or are publicly employed today. Mr. Pennington is also alleged to have photographs of the current Snohomish County Sheriff Adam Fortney engaged in sex acts with under age girls, and is currently using those pictures to blackmail the Mr. Fortney into further retaliating against Ms. Block, according to Ms. Block’s inside county sources. Mr. Fortney and Mr. Pennington have jointly participated in the Washington State militia with a white supremacy mandate.

Snohomish County Washington Sheriff Adam Fortney is Allegedly Being Blackmailed by Mr. Pennington to Further Retaliate Against Journalist and Publisher Anne Block
At the very beginning, Ms. Block’s saga began with what she thought was a routine public records request. After noticing what appeared to be discrepancies in the accounting of the water district of her small municipality near Seattle, the City of Gold Bar, Washington, she asked for the documents.
At the time, Ms. Block did not know that the City’s water employee, Karl Majerle, was terminated for sabotaging the City ‘s water system, and had in fact committed acts of Domestic Terrorism on the City and its residents. Mr. Majerle had blackmailed Gold Bar’s former Mayor Crystal Hill Pennington that if she pursued criminal charges against him he would reveal what he knew about how many public officials she had infected with a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Ms. Hill Pennington disseminated her STD results inside City of Gold Bar’s public emails. This STD list included judges, county executive Aaron Reardon, Director of Emergency Management, Prosecutors, a Senator, and Gold Bar’s Chief of police. All married men.
Although the records request was withheld for over 13 years, however, it was subject to the State’s public records act. A practicing attorney at the time, Ms. Block persisted. As the denials continued, inspired by a national talk show host, she published accounts of her efforts on her news publication, the Gold Bar Reporter. The articles were directly followed by a series of retaliatory acts from what appeared to be the City of Gold Bar and its’ attorneys.
It wasn’t. Behind the City of Gold Bar was the State’s insurer, the Association of Washington Cities (AWC); the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services Risk Management Division (DES); the Washington State Bar, a network of attorneys and law firms called Special Assistant Attorney Generals (“SAAGS”); Special Assistant Prosecutors (“SAPs”), and judges acting directly or indirectly at the behest of Washington State’s highest legal authority, Attorney General Bob Ferguson. Under Attorney General Bob Ferguson, the order was given to Doug Ende, at the Washington State Bar, to disbar Ms. Block for reporting the truth on public corruption.
From 2010 to 2012, and prior to Attorney General Bob Ferguson assuming the attorney general position in Washington State, the Washington State Bar received three other complaints against Ms. Block, and had in fact dismissed those complaints stating, correctly, ” “First Amendment activity of its members is not within the Bar’s jurisdiction. ” Once Attorney General Bob Ferguson assumed the the AG’s position in 2013, the Washington State Bar all of the sudden made a 360 degree turn. What was not known at the time was the Washington State Bar, a private association, was actually being operated by Attorney General Bob Ferguson‘s office. “Gift of public monies is in Washington State is unconstitutional and felonious” according to our counsel.
“The way the State Attorney General (AG) has control of every citizen in Washington State as well as the state political system is simple: money,” said former chess champion and appellate attorney John Scannell. “The AG uses both state and federal money to control county prosecutors and judges, federal judges, the State Bar, AWC and a network of hundreds of private attorneys and law firms under contract with the AG called SAPs and SAAGs.”
“Public records requests over several years have uncovered how the AG makes illegal payouts to control the state. Contrary to State law, the AG has County Prosecutors and federal judges on both the State payroll and retirement systems. Although County Prosecutors are prohibited by law from holding outside employment, the AG hires private attorneys as ‘Special Assistant AGs,’ or SAAGs. It’s a direct conflict of interest,” said Mr. Scannell.
If Mr. Scannell presents the theory of Washington’s corruption, Ms. Block has experienced the reality. Directly after publishing accounts of how Mr. Pennington’s ex-wife and then Gold Bar Mayor Crystal Hill had stolen $200,000 from the City, and failed to report the City’s sabotaging of the water system, a veritable tsunami of retaliation followed. Without legal basis, and contrary to its charter to uphold the rule of law, the Washington State Bar Association issued a subpoena for the Gold Bar Reporter’s files.
As a legally recognized member of the press, Gold Bar Publisher Ms. Block refused. When she was abroad, the State Bar then illegally issued a subpoena, not for Ms. Block’s attorney client files, but for the Gold Bar Reporter’s files. Ms. Block declined citing RCW 5.68.010 Media Shield, requiring any agency or governing body with subpoena power to get a signed court order to bring any member of the press to court.
The Washington State Bar Association not only ignored Media Shield laws, they were also in direct communication with Snohomish County Special Assistant Attorney Generals on how to get Anne Block disbarred.
Ms. Block, who worked as a machinist and a printer through law school as a single mother, was summarily disbarred in absentia. The disbarment was made possible by Mr. Pennington and his ex-wife, who had bribed attorney and State Bar Disciplinary Officer Lin O’Dell.

Bar Disciplinary Officer Lin O’Dell, a Member of a RICO Costing Federal Taxpayers Billions of Dollars, was Bribed by John Pennington to Illegally Disbar Attorney and Journalist Anne Block.
Attorney Lin O’Dell and her husband Mark Plivelich have ties to organized crime. Mark Plivelich is a convicted killer, and spent six years at Walla Walla State Prison for an execution style murder.

Ms. O’Dell has a history of guardianship fraud involving the theft of millions of dollars, ending with the State’s Guardianship Oversight Board prohibiting her from further involvement in guardianship cases.
Although the State Bar has received numerous well documented complaints of Ms. O’Dell’s fraud, theft, falsifying her IRS records, and regardless of the Guardianship Board’s finding of theft and evidence of extensive criminal activity, the Washington State Bar refuses to act against her to this day.
Ms. O’Dell is currently a member of the Washington Bar in good standing with no disciplinary history. Her daughter, a woman charged with countless thefts, acts as her proxy in ongoing guardianship cases. Their guardianship fraud in the State of Washington costs the federal government at a minimum tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars, according to Ms. Block. After being stripped of their assets, their victims are reliant on state and federal benefits including Medicaid and Medicare. “The federal government has an opportunity to recover hundreds of billions of dollars if they act against guardianship fraud across the county. We have the evidence as to how it works,” said Mr. Scannell, “Lin O’Dell and her daughter are perfect models of how the fraud operates within a given state.”
In spite of the Guardianship Oversight Board permanently prohibiting Ms. O’Dell from participating in any case involving elderly or vulnerable adults, Ms. O’Dell continues to openly solicit guardianship business on her web site, which states on its home page, “Helping those in vulnerable situations.”
The retaliation against Ms. Block backfired. As her efforts continued over the course of a decade and a half, she made hundreds of public records requests related to those who were acting against her. Most records requests were illegally withheld, destroyed, or redacted.
One tactic by the State and AWC to conceal public records was to hire attorneys to act in a dual role as public records clerks and “risk managers,” among them Jason Siems , Harold Goldes, and Sara Di Vittorio. The attorney-clerks routinely claim attorney-client privilege to deny valid records requests. “The pretext is that the state is their client,” said Mr. Scannell. “It’s completely illegal and a violation of both public disclosure laws and Bar rules.” Ultimately, however, Ms. Block was able to establish patterns of the people involved in the federal RICO.
Gerry Spence, by every objective measure the greatest trial lawyer in history, once said ‘The difference between a good case and a great case is insiders.’ Ms. Block, indeed, appears to have a great case: As she continuously posted stories of her efforts and evidence on her blog, the Gold Bar Reporter, dozens of government and law firm insiders contacted her. Some through the mail. Some asked to meet. Some remained anonymous.
With the documentation and testimony of the insiders, in addition to the records Ms. Block was able to obtain, an increasingly clear picture emerged of the State’s federal RICO, a massive machine of corruption.
That machine, according to Ms. Block’s and her network’s carefully documented evidence part of which is incorporated in tens of thousands of pages of her court filings, is the same machinery that has allowed Mr. Pennington and others in the RICO to commit crimes without being held accountable. One cog in the RICO machine is the law firm of Mr. Pennington’s friend, Mr. Kenyon. His firm, Kenyon Disend, has engaged in an ongoing series of retaliation and coverups for Mr. Pennington.

Ms. Rachel Bender Turpin of Madrona Law has Acted as an Integral Part of the
Federal RICO, Altered the Federal NCIC Database, and Tampered with Federal
Witnesses According to Allegations and Evidence in the Court Record

Ms. Ann Marie Soto of Madrona Law has Acted as an Integral Part of the
Federal RICO, Altered the Federal NCIC Database, and Tampered with Federal
Witnesses According to Allegations and Evidence in the Court Record
Ms. Ann Marie Soto and Ms. Rachel Bender Turpin, formerly of the law firm Kenyon Disend have, according to evidence presented by Ms. Block, routinely altered, redacted or destroyed documents in the federal crime database NCIC; tampered with and bribed federal witnesses; destroyed, altered or prevented state records from release; submitted false or altered records in several retaliatory legal actions against Ms. Block, and colluded with judges.
After Ms. Soto and Ms. Turpin left Kenyon Disend late last year, both started a new law practice, Madrona Law. They now regularly boast that Madrona Law is on the payroll of the State’s Attorney General, acting as “Special Assistant Attorney Generals” (SAAGs), enjoy unrestricted access to the federal criminal database, NCIC, and are protected by the RICO network, according to Ms. Block.
When finally unveiled, it became clear that the machinery that was protecting Mr. Pennington was an octopus-like federal RICO [racketeering] enterprise. The enterprise is fueled by two main sources of funding: a massive guardianship and probate fraud system which attorney in good standing and Washington State Bar Disciplinary Officer Ms. Lin O’Dell has been a significant participant of, as well as state and federal funds.
Near the center of it all is the State’s highest legal authority Attorney General Bob Ferguson.
The Washington State Bar Association is jointly controlled by Attorney General Bob Ferguson,” said Mr. Scannell. Mr. Scannell is a highly respected Ninth Circuit appellate attorney. “Although the Bar repeatedly asserts its status as a private organization, the AG has the Bar Association on the payroll of the State,” he said. Mr. Scannell has a decades-long history as a fearless and tenacious public interest litigator who has rarely charged for his services according to several public interest attorneys in Washington State.
State Bar management and staff are, in fact, being paid by the State’s Attorney General through the State Public Employee Retirement System, or PERS. The AG has also paid its federal RICO network hundreds of millions of federal and state taxpayer dollars through fraudulent tax refunds, SAP/SAAG contracts to hundreds of private attorneys, and for speaking engagements and continuing education programs hosted by both state and federal judges. “For many in the legal profession who know how the fraud works,” said Mr. Scannell. “The criminal network is an open secret. Federal Judge Ricardo Martinez is commonly referred to in the legal profession as ‘RICO’ Martinez,“ said another prominent Seattle attorney, “it’s a tragic joke.”

Federal District Judge Ricardo a.k.a. ‘RICO’ Martinez
Continues to Receive Money Compensation from the State of Washington
“The Bar’s violation of Anne Block and the Gold Bar Reporter’s First Amendment rights was only possible because the RICO, and the fact that the Bar’s disciplinary functions are combined with its professional association,” said Mr. Scannell. “Her U.S. Supreme Court challenge is a model example of why the Janus decision of the Court is so important. It’s critical to ensure the Constitutional rights of the press, the members of the legal profession, and every citizen.”

Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson Co-Directs a Statewide Criminal Enterprise and a Component of Lloyd’s Federal RICO, According to Evidence Submitted in a Federal Action.
“Bob Ferguson’s crimes make Al Capone look like a Boy Scout. Capone never wore a mask of public service and virtue while stealing from the public and operating a criminal enterprise. Ferguson’s RICO steals billions from taxpayers and the federal government. It guarantees that anyone who is targeted by AWC and the State will be denied their Constitutional right to due process and any hope of justice. The court system is so completely and openly rigged that it would be an embarrassment to a third-world dictatorship. Unfortunately that is not a metaphor,” said an inside source close to the case.

AWC “Risk Manager” Harlan Stientjes Co-Directs a Multi-Billion Dollar Federal RICO Organization
If Bob Ferguson and the State Bar are near the center of the RICO fraud, who is directing them? According to thousands of pages of evidence and testimony, Peter King, the CEO of the Association of Washington Cities (AWC), in association with his ‘Risk Management’ colleague at AWC, Harlan Stientjes, are directing the RICO enterprise at the state level. Invisible to the public but representing every Washington city and the State government itself, AWC collects billions in insurance premiums.

AWC CEO Peter King Co-Directs a Multi-Billion Dollar Federal RICO
With those billions, Ms. Block asserts with extensive documentation, Mr. King has managed to control state government and the judicial system. “The abuse of power is the abuse of money,” said attorney Scannell. “AWC has absolute power because they have evolved with zero oversight. They claim to have an exemption from the public records act by insisting in court filings that they are a private organization. Yet also in court records they claim to be a public entity.”
Under the pretext of ‘risk management,’ AWC has created a system that denies a fair and impartial court system to any targeted Washington State citizen. If the target is seen as a financial risk to any government entity insured by AWC, AWC directs the AG, the Bar, and the SAP/SAAG system that has every prosecutor and hundreds of attorneys and law firms on the state payroll. “It is almost certainly the largest criminal enterprise in the history of Washington,” said Mr. Scannell.
“Every attorney and prosecutor who are SAP/SAAGs, and judges who were former SAP/SAAGs and remain on the state’s co-pay retirement system, are all on the payroll of the state. So are the staff of the state Bar Association,” said Mr. Scannell. “They all benefit from the RICO in two ways: first, by receiving direct payment from the AG. Second, the SAP/SAAG attorneys and law firms in the Washington State RICO, which comprise about 1% of the state’s Bar members, get favorable decisions from the RICO judges and substantial settlements from the state.”
He continued, “Anyone can simply look at the SAAG list and compare the SAAG attorney’s and law firm’s settlements and court decisions with non-SAAG attorneys and law firms,” he said. “In return for their compensation, the RICO members, including prosecutors and judges, make sure that legitimate cases and claims are denied. As with any RICO, it’s about money.”
“By far, the largest implication of the way the federal RICO operates in Washington State, is that it is a single operating unit in a national RICO operated by Lloyd’s of London. The criminal network operating in Washington State was created by Lloyd’s and sold in the U.S. on a state-by-state basis across the country. Lloyd’s, in fact, recently settled what appeared to be a multi-billion dollar market fixing case for the remarkably low cost of $22.m after Lloyd’s attempts to dismiss it failed,” he said.
“Now that the largest fraud in the history of the state is exposed, the implication of Anne Block’s case is huge,” said Mr. Scannell. “The reason is, these couldn’t be greater crimes, or greater abuses of public office. Given the amount of evidence that has been presented, if these people are not held accountable, we can all stop pretending we live under the rule of law. That is really what Anne’s case means. Not just in Washington State, but in every state where Lloyd’s has fixed insurance markets and rigged an entire state’s legal system,” he said.
“It’s said that the greatest trick the devil ever played is convincing the world that he doesn’t exist. Now that the country and the federal government know that Peter King and Harlan Stientjes have cost them billions, and how Lloyd’s of London’s fraud machine works, will they actually arrest the men who are likely the single biggest criminals in Washington State history?” Said Mr. Scannell.
“We have the insiders, the witnesses. We have documents, the evidence, the charts and graphs to show how the RICO works,” said Mr. Scannell. There is central direction. This is a classic RICO. If the federal government wants to recover billions in losses, all they have to do is prosecute Peter King and Harlan Stenjges.”
Mr. Scannell continued, “Also, it will be interesting to see if the federal government will apply the same standards to Peter King, Harlan Stientjes and the rest of the RICO participants as they’ve done with other crime bosses. Specifically, now that there is so much evidence of their crimes, will they apply the Equal Protection clause of the U.S. Constitution and deny the RICO members the right to their own counsel unless they prove that funds for attorneys were not derived from their crimes?” Mr. Scannell said. “Shouldn’t they be represented by public defenders?”

U.S. Attorney for the Western District Brian Moran
“And won’t it need to be a federal official other than the acting U.S. Attorney for the Western District, Brian Moran who prosecutes them? Mr. Moran, with current Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna were close coworkers at the law firm Orrick, Harrington & Sutcliffe. They were both hired by Peter King to work together on a cases representing AWC,” said Mr. Scannell.
AWC hired Mr. Moran and his law firm, which had also employed Bob Ferguson as contractors. Both served as SAAGs for the Attorney Generals office.” Soon after their employment by AWC, both men assumed public office.”
“Within only months of their employment by Mr. King, Mr. Ferguson became the Washington State Attorney General and Mr. Moran became the U.S. Attorney for the Western District. Did AWC’s Peter King put both of them in office, so the highest regional federal and state legal authorities would be in place to protect the largest federal RICO in State history? Is it an interesting coincidence? Isn’t that worth investigating?” asked the highly regarded Ninth Circuit Appellate Lawyer.

Pierce College Chancellor Michele L. Johnson, Ph.D.
Refuses to Terminate the Employment of the Most
Negligent Emergency Services Director in State History
For his part, Mr. Pennington, “Seattle’s Epstein,” as Ms. Block refers to him, appears to continue to enjoy Washington State government job security and the continued protection of his RICO network.
Mr. Pennington currently occupies a $110,000 teaching position in Emergency Management at Pierce College, Washington – an ironic position to occupy given his false credentials and historic negligence as Director of Snohomish County Emergency Management which resulted in the death of 43 people.
Regardless of the evidence of Mr. Pennington’s false credentials and voluminous evidence of criminal activity, Pierce College Chancellor Michele L. Johnson refuses to fire him. She declines to explain why. She will also not explain why she is refusing to recognize and uphold her state’s law relating to the use of false academic credentials, which, together with her institution’s operational policy requires her to terminate Mr. Pennington.
By refusing to fire the fraudulently credentialed Mr. Pennington, Chancellor Johnson’s protection of him has placed Pierce College at risk of closure as a result of losing its academic accreditation, which Ms. Block’s supporters are now pursuing. “We won’t stop until the funding and accreditation is terminated and the College is closed,” she said. “If they will have a man with completely falsified credentials and his history of criminal activity on the faculty, every single person there needs to be audited, or the school closed.”
“Professor Pennington,” as he calls himself, occupies his teaching position at Pierce College, ironically within a stone’s throw of the infamous Green River in Washington State, where the State’s most prolific serial killer was most active.
Mr. Pennington, however, may soon find himself both unemployed and as fully exposed as the federal RICO network his retaliation against Ms. Block has revealed.
When Ms. Block contacted former Seattle Times reporter Emily Heffner to comment on an article in her blog about the RICO fraud, all Ms. Heffner would say was “you need to move because they’re coming after you.” She didn’t, and they did.
“The Association of Washington Cities, as an operating affiliate of Lloyd’s of London, in its joint racketeering efforts, together with the state of Washington, the private Washington Bar Association and the Snohomish County Sheriff and Prosecutor’s Officers have retaliated against Anne block for almost 13 years. The Washington State taxpayer has paid tens of millions of dollars for this retaliation to deprive her of the right to live under the rule of law when she has only asserted the law,” said Mr. Scannell. “If the RICO can do that to a brilliant hard-working lawyer, where does that leave the average person?” he said.
Anne Block is now exposing them. She credits three people for her conviction, tenacity, and success: her late mother, a social activist in Western Massachusetts, her father, a writer and political junkie, and television personality Bill Maher. Above all, Ms. Block credits her unwavering belief in the rule of law that she saw her mother and father fight for.
“Before I had any idea how massive this fraud is, in 2009 I was watching Bill Maher He said, ‘We have the internet. Any of us can expose public corruption. Just create a blog and post the evidence,’” said Ms. Block. “So I did.”
Mr. Scannell said, “No one takes power from us. We give it through fear and inaction. That is the power of Bill Maher’s message. We all need to take action and work together. Results take hard work to happen. We are just getting started.”
“It never occurred to me that my blog would ultimately expose what appears to be the largest fraud in the history of our country. It looks like Mr. Maher was right – any of us can expose corruption if we want to,” said Ms. Block.
Regardless of the evidence of corruption Ms. Block has presented to the world on her blog, however, on (date), with no legal basis she was declared a “vexatious litigant.”
“When our corrupt courts designate a person a “vexatious litigant,” they are denied even the appearance of due process,” said Appellate Lawyer Mr. Scannell. “They are prohibited from filing any further legal action,” he said. “The designation of “vexations litigant” in this case is the ultimate act of tyranny by a corrupt court to perpetuate the RICO.”
The judge who designated Ms. Block a “vexatious litigant” is Michael Scott, Mr. Pennington’s friend and former colleague in the Washington State Legislature. King County Superior Court Judge Michael Scott is a SAAG, SAP, and AWC contractor, who issued a sue sponte vexatious ruling shortly before Ms. Block contacted him about an article about three separate claims of child molestation committed by Mr. Scott. The men allege that Judge Scott molested them as children when Mr. Scott acted as a church Deacon. Although their claims have been published, Mr. Scott is not being investigated.
“It will be interesting to see if anyone is concerned enough about the rule of law to follow Mr. Maher’s suggestion and take action about this RICO that effects millions of people and hundreds of billions of federal dollars,” said Mr. Scannell.
John Adams said “Always stand on principle, even if you stand alone.” Anne is no longer standing alone.

Snohomish County Prosecutors and attorneys tampering with FBI National Crime Information Center data
Ann Marie Soto Shannon Ragonesi
In November 2017, the City of Gold Bar’s attorneys Ann Marie Soto 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, Shannon Ragonesi and 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.
Here’s just three cases that illustrate quite nicely three Snohomish County Prosecutors Mark Roe, Wallace Langbehn III and Sean Reay’s criminal racketeering acts exposed in public NCIC records.
Sno County Prosecutor Sean Reay, removing criminal history records from NCIC as political favors
In 2009, the City of Gold Bar’s Mayor, Crystal Hill ( nee Berg) attempted to have the Gold Bar Reporter charged with a crime for exposing her crimes against the City of Gold Bar taxpayers ( theft in excess of $200,000.00). Ms. Hill Berg was sleeping with several married men inside Snohomish County government, including but not limited to Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon and Emergency Management Director John E. Pennington.
Ms Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) and John E Pennington were stealing from Snohomish County Emergency Management and the County’s Emergency Housing Funds. Federal money distributed to the local government via a welfare block grant.
On July 5, 2008, Gold Bar’s water employee Karl Majerle was caught red handed stealing from the City of Gold Bar, and had in fact sabotaged the City’s Wells, # 3 and 4. Why, because Ms. Hill (Berg) was informed by Gold Bar council member Dorothy Croshaw that Majerle was stealing from the City. After Karl Majerle was caught stealing, he was fired, which he recorded via audio means, and then out of anger, he left City Hall and poured gravel down Gold Bar’s City wells # 3 and 4. Instead of reporting the federal crimes, as acts of domestic terrorism to Gold Bar’s water system, Ms. Hill (Berg) decided the best way to handle this was to ask Snohomish County Prosecutor Sean Reay for a favor i.e. help quash criminal charges against Majerle.
And Sean Reay did it.
Snohomish County Prosecutor Sean Reay received the criminal referral from Snohomish County Sheriff’s Officer Terry Handleman and Deputy Jeff Ross ( Brady Cops). Sean Reay received a phone call from Snohomish County Director John E Pennington and Executive Aaron Reardon asking for his help in quashing the criminal charges as “political courtesy.” Sean Reay called then Sheriff and both made an agreement to not prosecute Karl Majerle for sabotaging the City of Gold Bar’s water system.
Sean Reay, in an effort to make it look good, sent the Karl Majerle’s criminal complaint to his wife, Laura Twindale. Ms. Twinsdale is in charge of Snohomish County District Court, Evergreen Division.
Sean Reay never referred the case to the federal government as all crimes against water systems must be referred to the DOJ and FBI for investigation and/or prosecution. But instead, Sean Reay sent the criminal complaint against Gold Bar’s water employee to his wife, Laura Twinsdale. Ms. Twinsdale is only in charge of misdemeanor offenses and has no authority to issue felony charges nor prosecute federal crimes.
We later learned that Karl Majerle and Crystal Hill ( nee Berg) had entered into a bribery scheme. Why, because Karl Majerle knew what we didn’t know for five years until Snohomish County finally released a record it illegally withheld for almost 7 years now.
Simply put, Snohomish County Prosecutor Sean Reay is guilty of racketeering, quashing criminal charges as political favors. Perhaps Mr. Reay thought he and Aaron Reardon were going to the Governor’s Manson. So sad, but along came the Gold Bar Reporter, and Aaron Reardon was ousted for stealing public monies.
As a political favor, Sean Reay helped Crystal Hill ( nee Berg) remove her criminal conviction and arrest records from NCIC.
Not only did Prosecutor Sean Reay assist Ms. Hill ( nee Berg) remove her criminal history from NCIC, he also entered into a bribery scheme with Ms. Hill Pennington (nee Berg), to quash criminal charges after she violently assaulted a six year old child.
Our readers, and those Ms Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) stole from ( City of Gold Bar taxpayers) should be happy to know that she is now frauding the federal taxpayers working as a contractor at FEMA in Emittsburg Maryland. According to the Office of Inspector General, persons convicted of fraud are not eligible for federal employment or federal contracts of any nature.
FEMA’s Brock Long was made aware of Crystal Hill Pennington’s criminal history and has refused comment.
Snohomish County Prosecutor Wallace Langbehn III, putting false criminal history records inside NCIC. Why? To enhance criminal sentencing if the accused is found guilty. We also have ample evidence to also document that Wallace Langbehn also falsely placed criminal history inside NCIC to retaliate against persons who exposed Dawson Place as a fraudulent 501 (3) (C).
The Gold Bar Reporter was the first to expose Dawson Place as a fraudulent 501 (3) (c) with its sole purpose used by Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office and Prosecutors Office for purposes of domestic spying and siphoning over $27 Million dollars of Washington State and federal taxpayer monies.
Dawson Place uses the law firm of Anderson Hunter to funnel millions of public money just as G. Geoffrey Gibbs did with attorney Lin O’Dell inside the Snohomish County Housing Authority scam known as Whispering Pines. The scam that involved Dean Bellamy, a man murdered by Spokane County Sheriff’s Office. Mr. Bellamy was threatening to expose many Judges and Commissioners involved in the guardian scam with attorneys Joseph Nappi Jr, Lin O’Dell and James Spargetis in Spokane.
Click below to how Dawson Place is nothing more than a shrill set up by Snohomish County Judges, Prosecutors and attorneys siphoning off million of public dollars.

For those of my readers who have been following the County’s malicious prosecution of Lori Shavlik, it’s no surprise that Dawson Place’s Prosecutor Wallace Langbehn III was working inside Dawson Place when Snohomish County activist Lori Shavlik started piecing together the County Judges/Prosecutors/Attorneys sick little domestic spy ring also known now as Dawson Place.
Bigger question still remains unanswered: Where did the millions of public monies go?
In 2010, Snohomish County Prosecutors Mark Roe and Adam Cornell knew Lori Shavlik was getting close to exposing Dawson Place as a shrill to funnel public monies and spy on citizens. Mark Roe and Adam Cornell needed to shut Ms. Shavlik up as she was starting to unravel Dawson Place as a shadow agency owned and operated by Snohomish County government.
Mark Roe and Adam Cornell decided the best way to shut Ms. Shavlik up was to enlist the assistance of a known Brady Cop named David Fontenot. David Fontenot’s job was to find someone close to Ms. Shavlik to start a fire inside Ms. Shavlik’s tanning salon. Fontenot is as dirty as them, and had known all of the drug addicts, and one such drug addict Fontenot found worked inside Ms. Shavlik’s tanning salon. Rebecca Bradshaw was well know to David Fontenot, because Ms. Bradshaw was a drug informant on Snohomish County’s payroll.
While at the same time Rebecca Bradshaw is on Snohomish County’s payroll, Ms Bradshaw was working in and stealing from Ms. Shavlik’s tanning salon in the City of Snohomish. Brady Cop David Fontenot knew this, and enlisted Ms. Bradshaw assistance in starting a fire behind a dryer unitinside Ms. Shavlik’s tanning salon.
The false trumped up criminal charges Snohomish County set into action came only after Ms. Shavlik had exposed Dawson Place for fraud, and a government shrill to steal taxpayer monies without accountability.
In 2014, Snohomish County Prosecutors Office, known racketeering member, Franchasca Yahyavi tried Ms. Shavlik for first degree arson. Ms. Yahyavi, never disclosed that the lead detective David Fontenot was a Brady Cop, and that the County’s main witness Rebecca Bradshaw was a paid informant.
Thankfully for Ms. Shavlik one juror was a highly educated Engineer who later said ” this was bullshit. There was nothing here.” Those of you who know me, know I am partial to engineers not only because my engineer is my most loved treasure, but because persons that are trained in hard sciences are critical thinkers who analysis even small pieces of evidence.
That Engineer saved Ms. Shavlik’s life by holding out for days until the Judge called it a deadlock jury. Instead of the Prosecutors’ leaving well enough alone, Francesca Yadavvi recharged Ms. Shavlik in a second trial in February 2016.
The Gold Bar Reporter was in the audience watching as Brady Cop David Fontenot and Prosecutor Yahyavi paraded witness after witness on the stand to attest about what a bad business owner Ms. Shavlik was. One witness named Dolly even told the jury that she was told by the Prosecutors that she would get money for her testimony.
In March 2016, 12 jurors acquitted Lori Shavlik of arson.
Early this year, Ms. Shavlik started complaining that her insurance rates were over the roof. This prompted this question: have you looked at your criminal access searches and driving record from Washington State ?
When Lori Shavlik retrieved her driving record from the Washington State Department of Licensing she learned that Dawson Place Prosecutor Wallace Langbehn III had entered false information into Ms. Shavlik’s criminal history records, falsely claiming that she had plead guilty to contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
In a nutshell, Wallace Langbehn III entered into Ms. Shavlik’s criminal history records, via NCIC, that Ms. Shavlik had plead guilty to giving alcohol to minors. False.
Wallace Langbehn III falsely entered a conviction record into Ms. Shavlik’s NCIC records and he did so while assigned to Dawson Place, an alleged non-profit 501 (3) (c). A shrill money laundering company to further the efforts of Dawson Place and its racketeering members. Mainly Snohomish County Prosecutors and Judges and two mobsters and attorneys G. Geoffrey Gibbs and Michael Kenyon.
Does this fit the definition of racketeering crimes?
Source: https://www.cga.ct.gov/2006/rpt/2006-R-0484.htm
The federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) (18 USC §§ 1961-1968) prohibits (1) acquiring, establishing, or operating an enterprise with illegally derived income, (2) acquiring or maintaining an interest in or control of an enterprise through illegal activity, and (3) using an enterprise to commit illegal acts (Extortion, Blackmail, Etc., 31A Am Jur 2d).
RICO defines “racketeering activity” as a long list of state and federal crimes. The federal crimes include bribery, various fraud offenses, gambling offenses, money laundering, a number of financial and economic crimes, obstructing justice or a criminal investigation, murder for hire, and sexual exploitation of children. The state crimes include murder, kidnapping, gambling, arson, robbery, bribery, extortion, dealing in obscene matter, and drug crimes.
It defines a “pattern of racketeering activity” as at least two acts of racketeering activity, one of which occurred after RICO became law and the last of which occurred within 10 years after the prior act.
“racketeering activity” means committing, attempting to commit, conspiring to commit, or intentionally aiding, soliciting, coercing, or intimidating another person to commit a specified list of felonies. These felonies include gambling activities, extortion, drug offenses, weapons offenses, murder, assault, prostitution, hazardous waste violations, securities violations, coercion, money laundering, arson, bribery, and forgery
“Pattern of racketeering activity” means engaging in at least two incidents of racketeering activity that (1) have the same or similar purposes, results, participants, victims, or methods of commission or otherwise are interrelated by distinguished characteristics; (2) are not isolated incidents; (3) include at least one incident that occurred after October 1, 1982; and (4) occurred within five years of a prior incident of racketeering activity (CGS § 53-394(e)).
“Collusion” is not defined in either RICO, although the word “collusion” is used in a number of state contracting statutes. The Black‘s Law Dictionary definition of “collusion” includes a “secret combination, conspiracy, or concert of action between two or more persons for fraudulent or deceitful purpose.” This type of conduct would appear to be covered by RICO
Wallace Langbehn III, Sean Reay, Mark Roe, Adam Cornell, Mike Kenyon, Shannon Ragonesi, Ann Marie Soto, and Snohomish County Judges were contacted and all declined comment.
