In May 2015, immediately following a lawful article I wrote about corrupt Duvall police officer, Lori Batiot filed a petition for restraining order, written by John E. Pennington, terminated Director of Emergency Management ( only after he killed 43 people in the Oso mudslides), and his bank frauding wife Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee. Berg, convicted of bank fraud in Snohomish County, WA, 2005, bank fraud in North Carolina using an alias of Chris Hill, 2000).
About one month ago, a source inside the City of Brier called to inform us that Lori Batiot and John Pennington’s relationship was sexual while John Pennington was appointed to FEMA Region X in 2001. Batiot and Pennington met while she worked as coffee barista in Bellingham Washington, and when John Pennington owned a coffee delivery company , a source said.
As one source inside the City of Brier said ” if Batiot’s personal relationship to John Pennington was exposed, their both guilty of racketeering as outlined herein. After Batiot had been constructively terminated from the City of Brier, she was penniless and wanted to collect child support. Instead, Batiot received a job with the City of Duvall in exchange .. Duval’s Mayor works for Waste Management and John Pennington misused his political influence to help him gets contracts with Snohomish County in exchange.”
We have a lot more on their personal relationship, but since a child is involved, we’re not going to post what we know. But let’s just say, over 1.5 years later, we now know why the City of Duvall hired a corrupt police officer. Remember, Lori Batiot was fired for drunk driving, fired from two police departments for conduct unbecoming of a police officer, failed a state mental health evaluation, and is guilty of countless episodes of unlawful and unbecoming police conduct, in the same town where John E. Pennington resides, Duvall Washington.
Lori Batiot is now on Washington State’s Brady Cop list. Brady cops are known liars.
See https://goldbarreporter.org/2015/08/29/from-barista-to-the-city-of-duvall/
As an award winning journalist, I request access to public records, but only after receiving tips or as my mother trained us kids so well to do, pay attention to your intuition. ” If it quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck.” My mother and father’s training has enabled me to foresee the future before it even happens.
In May 2015, corrupt police officer Lori Batiot, connected to two other corrupt officials here in Washington, John Pennington and Crystal Hill, conspired to have me charged with cyber stalking over my style of news reporting. Perhaps as non-lawyers, not trained in constitutional law, they never understood that once they thrust themselves into the limelight, as the Honorable Supreme Court Justice Anthony Scalia held in Referendum 71, they became subject to public scrutiny.
” It’s take civil courage to be involved in politics… and laws cannot protect you from nasty phone calls or nasty letters …” Justice Scalia wrote.
Below is a story published by another news reporter here in Snohomish County about corrupt Duvall police officer Lori Batiot’s little racketeering crimes against us for reporting the news on John Pennington, Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) criminal racketeering conduct.
Knowing what we know 1.5 years later, this article below, now makes sense why a corrupt cop from Duvall and John Pennington tired so desperately to SLAPP down our messages. Their little racketeering crimes of trying to SLAPP down messages have now lead to at least six prosecutors being sued for racketeering and five government officers being tossed by the voters in the last five years.
Thankfully, two judges tossed their corrupt acts as a prior restraints on free speech, the Honorable Judge Smith, King County Shoreline District, basically called Lori Batiot a liar and corrupt. At least someone attorneys are honorable.
Free speech is never criminal, if it were, America would be renamed ” The Communist States of America.” In fact, it’s the only tangible item that separates other countries from America. The First Amendment is what makes America great.
My right to redress a government official, who is being paid with our tax monies, it’s called ” redress” and our RCW makes it clear that any such attempts to SLAPP down our messages holds a $10,000.00 per offense penalty, not to the government but to the corrupt person who tried to attack our message.
Sadly for John Pennington, he just can’t seem to find a job that doesn’t require a political appointment outside of government, because if he did, he’d actually have to work. Something, according to at least two sources, he has no work ethic or as one former employee said ” Pennington is lazy son of a bitch! He’s also as stupid as a post and borderline illiterate. ”
John Pennington’s conduct in the Oso mudslide disaster speaks for itself as does his diploma mill online flat fee degrees Senator Tom Harkin called fraud. Pennington’s conduct herein speaks for itself.
RCW 4.24.510
A person who communicates a complaint or information to any branch or agency of federal, state, or local government, or to any self-regulatory organization that regulates persons involved in the securities or futures business and that has been delegated authority by a federal, state, or local government agency and is subject to oversight by the delegating agency, is immune from civil liability for claims based upon the communication to the agency or organization regarding any matter reasonably of concern to that agency or organization. A person prevailing upon the defense provided for in this section is entitled to recover expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in establishing the defense and in addition shall receive statutory damages of ten thousand dollars.
Free speech issues are never criminal unless You physically threaten someone.
For people out blogging or reporting news on corrupt government gang stalkers like John E. Pennington, Crystal Hill ( owners of the Sky Valley Chronicle, a foe online site set up to defame and stalk anyone who dares expose John Pennington’s criminal racketeering conduct) always either blind cc or cc someone else in on your emails when approaching “gang stalkers” like John E. Pennington.

Inspector Clouseau…. Coblantz at Your Service
I don’t know why but in reading the new public records I keep hearing the theme song from the Pink Panther and seeing the bumbling Inspector Clousteau, the only difference is that this is real, not some silly movie or cartoon.
I’m not sure if King County Sheriff Cary Coblantz has been watching too many spy movies or if he was trying to get a little something with Sgt Batiot. He has taken far more then any professional interest in Batiot and this case, to the point of being absolutely inappropriate.
Why is he driving Ms Batiot to court? Does she not know how to drive (sober) or is he using this as a way to get a little too close.
Evidently he also hasn’t done much investigating of anything, he just take Batiot’s word about anything she says and what officer doesn’t know what a SLAPP suit is? Maybe if he would’ve actually read further he could’ve figured it out.
As for his assertion that he is going to meet with a King County District Court DPA to see if this case can be considered for “Global Prosecution” it would almost be funny if he wouldn’t have taken the predicate act to try to accomplish this end…
Domestic spying on a US Citizen, a law abiding, tax paying citizen should scare the crap out of everyone.
This also explains why the DOJ has never stepped in to combat or control the corruption in Snohomish County. They are just as guilty if not more of abuse of authority against it’s very own citizens.
This was not a matter of National Security, this was a civil, not criminal matter, this is against the law.
This sadly is our own Government abusing it’s authority. With the recent hackings of so many companies and govt branches what if someone else got a hold of Ms Block and Mr Frederick’s personal info? Info they had no legal authority to share.
I believe it was Mike Carter from the Seattle Times who called Anne Block delusional, said she was making up the fact that her personal info was being shared by Interpol and that she was being tracked, said she was just plain wrong because stuff like that didn’t happen….
I’d think he might like to issue an apology to Ms Block because as the saying goes “Crow pie is a lot easier to eat while it’s warm” but this is not the first time that these reporters have discounted Ms Block’s assertions and been 110% absolutely wrong.
Former Mayor Joe Beavers stalking Gold Bar Reporter after public records released
Joe Beavers, former Gold Bar Washington Mayor caught via public records in racketeering scheme
At 12:10 PM today (6/20/16), former Gold Bar Washington Mayor Joe Beavers was stalking the Gold Bar Reporter in Monroe, after public records confirm that Joe Beavers withheld public records documenting that the City of Gold Bar council members violated the Open Public Meetings Act, agreed not to report employee Karl Majerle’s tampering of the City water system, and then misappropriated over $1,300,000.00 dollars from the City of Gold Bar’s water funds to cover up his criminal racketeering scheme.
See Public Records withheld for over 8 years PRR 09092009 as of today the penalties and fees total over $1,000,000.00.
John Pennington FIRED after he killed 43 people in the Oso mudslide disaster
In late 2011, Joe Beavers threatened former Gold Bar council member Lie that he didn’t shut up “ we will charge you with a crime.” Joe Beavers physical threats to maliciously prosecute Lie were witnessed by then Gold Bar police Chief Robert Martin, and his threats to have Lie charged with a crime were a direct result of Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office illegally withholding public records involving John E. Pennington’s illegal use and dissemination of sealed non-criminal history records and mental health records of his opponents.
Illegal access to non-criminal history and mental health record is a crime under RCW 10.97 and federal laws.
In 2011, John Pennington’s Homeland Security Clearance was stripped as a result of his criminal conduct.
Unfortunately for the Gold Bar City Council ( Richard Norris, Lonn Turner, Dorothy Croshaw, Jay Prueher, Joe Beavers) and former Mayor Crystal Hill Pennington, 42 U.S.C § 300i-1 mandates public officials to report tampering with the public water systems a federal crime:
Tampering with public water systems
(b) Attempt or threat
(c) Civil penalty
(d)“Tamper” defined
For over eight years, Mayor Joe Beavers, Crystal Hill Pennington ( changed her name from Berg to cover up that she plead guilty to bank fraud in 2005) and Linda Loen withheld public records confirming beyond any shadow of a doubt that the City of Gold Bar and its public officials withheld public records that amount to racketeering ( frauding out the citizens of Gold Bar of its public monies) using electronic means ( email communication).
But the City Council didn’t do it alone, they had the assistance of Association of Washington Cities ( AWC) paralegal Eileen Lawrence, and the City’s law firm of Weed, Gaffstra and Benson ( Snohomish, WA).
To assist the City of Gold Bar in covering their racketeering crimes of fraud and not reporting the federal crime of tampering with the City’s water system, the Washington State Bar Association’s (WSBA) high ranking member Geoffrey Gibbs ( convicted of fraud in the 1990s and permanently suspended from lobbying by the Attorney General of Washington State can be viewed at https://goldbarreporter.org/2016/01/29/wsba-board-and-snohomish-county-attorney-caught-filking-false-statements-with-state-offices/) stole the Gold Bar Reporter’s WSBA application file, sent it via electronic email to Thomas Gaffstra ( a friend of Geoffrey Gibbs) from the City’s law firm of Weed Gaffstra and Benson ( Snohomish) former employee Barbara Johnson.
Barbara Johnson them disseminated the stolen WSBA files to Gold Bar’s then Mayor Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg, convicted of bank fraud 2005) and then Hill disseminated it to Snohomish County’s Director of Emergency Management political bum John E. Pennington.
John Pennington then misused his Homeland Security Clearance to pull a spider of information as it relates to Gold Bar Reporter’s out of state family members. Snohomish County public records officer Diana Rose affirmed under oath that she removed public records from Snohomish County and delivered the Gold Bar Reporter’s mental health records to the City of Gold Bar.
When Ms. Rose was asked under oath what was the CD she illegally removed from Snohomish County Dept of Emergency Management, Rose said “your mental health records.” The Gold Bar Reporter then said “Ms. Rose would it surprise you to know that I have never been treated for or even suffered from mental health issues of any kind.” Ms. Rose then started to tear up and Snohomish County Prosecutors Sean Reay and Sara Di Vittorio ( both being sued for racketeering in US Federal Court) started screaming for Rose not to answer questions.
Diana Rose is also being sued for racketeering in US Federal District Court and depositions are expected to begin at the end of 2016.
The City is still illegally withholding the email communication about the stolen WSBA files. We did get partial release of an email documenting that the stolen files were disseminated via email, but Joe Beavers “stripped’ the attachment from the email in violation of Washington State Supreme Court’s holding in O’Neil v Shoreline.
Washington State is only one of a hand full of states that makes removing, tampering, of destruction of public records a felony crime.
On January 6, 2016, John E. Pennington was terminated from Snohomish County because instead of doing his job, public records released under RCW 42.56 document that he criminally harassed his opponents on the Sky Valley Chronicle. The Sky Valley Chronicle was set up by former disgraced executive Aaron Reardon to control the political message in the Sky Valley in 2007.
Public records released from King County Major Crimes Unit confirm that additional writers on the Chronicle were Kevin Thomas Hulten ( now living under an assumed name of Kevin Thomas in Los Gatos California).
See http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20130214/NEWS01/702149999
Kevin Hulten’s racketeering crimes exposed first by the Gold Bar Reporters. But from a public records received today, it appears that Kevin Hulten’s little racketeering scandal unpealing one rotten layer at a time, because Washington State issued a subpoena.
See Kevin Hulten Subpoena’s
A big break came last month when public records activist Arthur West threatened to sue the City for refusing to produce public records for years.
In March 2016, Snohomish County Superior Court held that the City of Gold Bar violated the Public Records Act when it withheld records relating to a WSBA complaint then Mayor Joe Beavers ordered our City clerk to write for former council member Dorothy Crohsaw.
Once Joe Beavers ordered the clerk to write the WSBA complaints, the complaints became public records. The City of Gold Bar continues to withhold records relating to the WSBA complaints Joe Beavers ordered Gold Bar clerk Penny Brenton to write and former Gold Bar council member Dorothy Croshaw falsely certified under oath she wrote.
How we know is simple: a private investigator interviewed Penny Brenton, who admitted on recording, that Joe Beavers ORDERED her to write WSBA complaints.
42 USC 1983 makes Joe Beavers misuse of taxpayers monies a clear civil rights charge; and Beavers obstruction of justice in the Karl Marjerle tampering of the City’s water system amounts to racketeering.
As a result, the City of Gold Bar’s most recent public records release we now have a enough overturn every favorable decision issued in any matter involving the county and city officials for racketeering and 1983 gross civil rights violations.
From a former council member, we know that Crystal Hill was “sexting” nude pictures of herself, just as Kevin Thomas Hulten did on Snohomish County’s iPhone.
For over eight years, Joe Beavers lied to the citizens of Gold Bar claiming that the Gold Bar Reporters request for access to the below records involved former Mayor Crystal Hill’s sexting nude pictures of herself with a Gold Bar Blackberry device.
Crystal Hill’s sexting pictures are still being illegally withheld in violation of RCW 42.56 ( Public Records Act).
Below are the public records from Gold Bar relevant to this story, and Joe Beavers, Linda Loen, and Crystal Hill Pennington misappropriated over 1.3 Million dollars of the City’s water funds to conceal the 2009 Gold Bar governing body’s criminal racketeering conduct.
Click here PRR 09092009
In 2013, the City of Gold Bar was ordered by Snohomish County Superior Court to lodge two sets of public records illegally withheld from the Gold Bar Reporters, one with 32 records stolen from the WSBA,and then disseminated by Crystal Hill Pennington into public records, and 66 pages of records herein.
I’d like our readers to know why the City failed to lodge the 66 records herein is because the 32 records it did lodge were files stolen with the assistance of the WSBA and the disseminated by Crystal Hill to Lonn Turner (Dept of Corrections, Monroe) and Snohomish County’s disgraced director John E. Pennington
( see (https://goldbarreporter.org/2015/09/17/snohomish-countys-dark-secrets-uncovered/) , Department of Corrections attorneys (working for the Attorney General’s Office in 2009, Sara Di Vittorio and Miquel Tempski) who feloniously removed public records in its effort to reduce liability to the Dept of Corrections and Snohomish County.
Recently, the Washington Supreme Court Justice Barbara Madsen denied access to the Gold Bar Reporter’s stolen WSBA files in the City of Gold Bar’s possession, because if released the WSBA would be abolished and exposed for criminal conduct.
This conduct amounts to racketeering and federal suits have been filed with depositions expected to start later this year.
When voting, one may consider Justice Barbara Madsen’s disrespect for our open government laws here in Washington in favor of protecting the criminals inside the Washington State Bar Association who are stealing from our elderly, as evidenced by Lin O’Dell’s Order issued by Stevens County Judge Monasmith ( see https://goldbarreporter.org/2015/10/04/license-to-steal-with-the-assistance-of-the-washington-state-bar/)
There’s over 35,000 records that the City just released after illegally withholding public records for over eight (8) years, including John E. Pennington making racist comments about President Obama inside Gold Bar public emails, so stay tuned, its going to worth the wait!
