Kevin ” Shorty” Hulten fails to measure up again

In February 2013, Snohomish County Executive employees Kevin Hulten and Jon Rudicil were caught red handed criminally cyber-stalking the Gold Bar Reporter and tampering with evidence in Block v Snohomish County et al ( U.S Federal Court).

Kevin Hulten plead guilty  and was sentenced, and soon thereafter moved to Los Gatos California. But not before he laughed at his sentencing hearing and wrote the Gold Bar Reporter ” Anne You’re not going to be able to depose me . . . the party wont let that happen.”

Kevin Hulten was referring to the Democratic Party of Washington State and corruption that runs to and through the U.S. Federal Court judges.

Kevin Hulten is married to Washington attorney Krystal Tate ( aka Krystal Hulten).  Ms. Tate was caught red handed via public email fixing a child abuse case with Snohomish County Prosecutor against a mother accused of child abuse while she was clerk to Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Michael Downes.

Ms. Tate now works for the law firm of McGrane and Schuerman, PLLC in Colville Washington. Perhaps utilizing “fixing cases to ensure criminal convictions” was a prerequisite for her job inside the estate guardian scam business of Washington State?

 

Either there’s something in the water in Snohomish County or ‘ birds of the same feathers flock together as do pigs and swine…”  I believe it’s the latter.

With no surprise to any of us who have been working on exposing massive racketeering involving the Washington State Bar Association’s lead counsel Doug Ende and Linda Eide, and a Washington State Bar hearing officer/thief Lin O’ Dell, Ms. Tate is involved in guardian estate litigation.

When’s a criminal always a criminal, 

Kevin ” Shorty” Hulten fails to measure up again

Kevin Hulten, a convicted criminal and former Snohomish County Executive employee managed to use his left over political influence with the Washington State Democratic Party to land a job as an editor in the same City where his wife is an attorney, Colville Washington.

Instead of considering himself lucky to be working as a convicted criminal in Washington State where such convictions are public record, Kevin Hulten did the unthinkable in March 2017, he was caught shoplifting groceries while working as an editor for the Statesman Examiner.

Criminal cyber-stalker, Kevin Thomas Hulten, Statesman Examiner and Sky Valley Chronicle

Kevin ” Shorty” Hulten also operated a foe online website titled ‘ The Sky Valley Chronicle” with five Snohomish County employees, Brian Perry, Christopher Schwartzen ( former Seattle Times reporter), terminated/disgraced Dept. Of Emergency Management Director John E. Pennington, and two former Mayors from Gold Bar, Crystal Hill Pennington  ( nee Berg, convicted of bank fraud 2005) and Joe Beavers ( recently caught stealing and misappropriating public money from the City of Gold Bar, 2017).

On May 9, 2017, the Stevens County Sheriff’s Office filed four criminal charges against Hulten, stemming from a series of alleged thefts at the Super One Market in Colville from March 15 to 25, 2017.

Once we became aware of Mr. Hulten’s criminal charges, we contacted the Statesman-Examiner in Colville seeking comment to no avail.  What should be noted is that the Statesman Examiner failed to write a story about its star editor’s theft.

Horizon Publications, the Illinois company that owns the Statesman-Examiner, has been reviewing several articles we wrote about Mr. Hulten all week so we knew it was just a matter of time before Mr. Hulten’s criminal behavior would once again become “headline news.”

Stupid is as stupid does  

According to the Colville police department, Mr. Hulten was identified because he used a credit card to purchase a prescriptions at the store’s pharmacy.  The store’s video surveillance confirms beyond any shadow of a doubt that Hulten stole flowers leaving the store during the early morning of March 15, 2017, without paying for them.  Then on March 25, 2017, Hulten returns to the same store, fills up a grocery cart and leaves without paying.   A store manager decided enough was enough after Hulten again entered the store on March 31, 2017, cracked open a can of Red Bull Energy drink, consuming it without paying for it.  Caught on camera.

Colville police state that Hulten exhibited nervous behavior captured on camera, and pretended to rent a movie from the store’s Redbox kiosk, attempting to distract witnesses.

According to attorney Krystal Tate’s Facebook page, she and Hulten moved from Los Gatos California in March 2017.   Hulten’s Facebook page states that he began working at the Statesman-Examiner in April 2017.

Snohomish County has quite the deck of cards, and Hulten’s card has a big joker on it.

For those of you who did not know this, Hulten had previously worked as an aide to disgraced Aaron Reardon ( who is now selling insurance in Indigo California), but was forced to resign after the Gold Bar Reporter ( Anne Block who is also suing Kevin Hulten for gross 1983 – Cyber-stalking her anonymously) who resigned as Snohomish County executive amid a flurry of scandals in February 2013.

In 2016, Mr. Hulten was fined $2500.00 by the state Public Disclosure Commission for using his work computer to criminally harass any one who investigated Reardon’s criminal conduct.  Because of Hulten’s on the records Washington State Public Disclosure IRS and Washington State Dept of Revenue complaints followed after Kevin Hulten admitted under oath that Jon Rudicil and he were operating a “for profit” company, and public records do not support that he paid any federal or state tax on money Hulten and Rudicil generated helping attorney Jack Connelly criminally harass Senator Jeanne Darnelle.

How public records from King County’s Major Crimes Unit exposed Kevin Thomas Hulten and Jon Rudicil’s Racketeering Enterprise

King County Major Crimes Unit’s Files documenting that Kevin Thomas Hulten, attorney Jack Connelly and Jon Rudicil should be in jail for Racketeering and money laundering

     

---

 

Kevin Hulten and Jon Rudicil were on Snohomish County’s payroll at the time they were assisting attorney Jack Connelly in his efforts to criminally harass the Honorable Senator Jennelle Darnielle. Public records from Snohomish County confirm that Kevin Hulten and Jon Rudicil never paid a single cent of tax on their RICO activities.

It wasn’t clear Thursday if Hulten had hired an attorney. Perhaps Krystal Tate or her firm will represent Mr. Hulten?

The Stevens County Prosecutor’s Office officially filed charges on May 9, 2017, and the Gold Bar Reporter has already notified the Court that a videographer will be present during any hearing.  We believe history is in the making here in Snohomish County, and Kevin Hulten just gave us the avenue for unearthing the massive corruption inside Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office.

Mark Roe, Snohomish County’s current prosecutor, misappropriated public funds to provide Kevin Hulten a criminal legal defense once Anne Block filed a racketeering charged against him in U.S. Federal District Court.

However, when Block noted to Seattle U.S. Federal District Court Judge Richard Jones that she had obtained public records from Snohomish County documenting that Washington State Bar Association’s lead counsel Linda Eide’s first cousin Senator Tracy Eide, Senator Steve Hobbs, Shoreline attorney then county Prosecutor Margaret King met and conspired with executive Aaron Reardon and Kevin Hulten in January 2013 to go after Block’s Washington State Bar license as a favor to a killer/employee John E. Pennington, Judge Jones did what any corrupt government official would do, he dismissed the complaint sending the cases into the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. If the 9th Circuit upholds precedent, Block’s cases will be remanded back for discovery and Hulten will be deposed.

Kevin Hulten is expected this time to serve jail time, up to 364 days and a $5,000 fine.

However, the best part of this story is simple: charges of theft are allowed in as an exception to the heresy rule, so Block intends to notify the 9th Circuit shortly noting that attorney Lin O’Dell was recently caught stealing and threatening elderly clients and cited by three courts for her criminal racket.

Videos and police reports have been requested from Colville police dept. and will be uploaded onto U Tube once received.

Washingtonians have a right to free from government sponsored gang stalking and thieves like Kevin Hulten should be in prison just like any other common criminal.

Sunshine laws help expose Brady Cops inside Duvall Washington government

Public Records Police Officer Shelley Rowe ( Olson), Duvall Washington 

Recently, I deposed a law enforcement official from Duvall Washington who is entrusted to answer public records requests.  What I discovered is Ms Rowe apparently has a criminal history.

---

 

Imagine you’ve been accused of a crime, you request access to public records, and you have not only one Duvall police officer as an undisclosed Brady Cop, but you also have an undisclosed Brady Cop who answers your public records request.

---

 

In Brady v Maryland, our court held that any police officer with credibility problems are referred to as “Brady cops”.  Due to the Brady ruling, prosecutors and city attorneys ( civil or criminal) are required to notify defendants, and their attorneys, whenever a law enforcement officer involved in their case has a sustained record for knowingly lying or criminal history in their background that could likely lead to other discoverable evidence must be disclosed, regardless of whether its a criminal or civil case.

Welcome to Duvall Washington. King County Washington is such a lovely place to raise kids.

In 2015, We reported on Duvall Brady Officer Lori Batiot.  As a result of our investigation of Brady Officer Lori Batiot was constructively terminated from the City of Duvall last week (2/10/2017).  But not before she committed gross civil rights violations against several reporters, fabricated evidence, lied under oath, and filed false instruments in countless jurisdictions, against countless of defendants and residents all over the state, from Ferndale to Brier to Duvall Washington.

The number of people Brady Officer Lori Batiot falsified evidence against is unknown, but my investigation continues inside Duvall Washington, turning over every record request sent by or answered by two Brady cops.

So the question from a reader is: Did the City of Duvall pay her off to go away or in exchange for her testimony in your public records case?  An issue we’re investigating.

Now on the heels of riding our community of one Brady Cop, last week We learned that Shelley Rowe ( Olson) Duvall’s public records officer is also an undisclosed Brady Cop.  Perhaps the City of Duvall’s application says ” Criminals or those charged with criminal conduct need only apply”

---

As correctly reported below, Duvall Brady Cop Lori Batiot’s drug addiction and drunkenness, caused not only problems within the Duvall police department’s moral, but also for defendants who were wrongfully charged, and in one vehicular case from Grays Harbor, Lori Batiot rear-ended a man  while drunk causing permanent major life damage to a man’s spinal cord.

Thankfully for Lori Batiot, Gray’s Harbor police officers did what any good police officer does in Washington, they covered up that fact that Lori Batiot was on drugs and drunk when you caused irreparable damage to a citizen. The only reason we learned of Lori Batiot’s criminal conduct is because she was sued in Skagit County.

For over 15 years Duvall police officer Lori Batiot managed to stay under the radar, committing racketeering crimes of trumping up criminal charges on honest hard working citizens as political favors. However, when Ms. Batiot ( Hoffer) came after us for First Amendment protected speech on behalf of another Duvall criminal ( residents John Pennington, child rape Colwitz County 19992, and his bank frauding wife, Crystal Berg, bank fraud 2005 Snohomish County and 2000 North Carolina), she hit a road block, the First Amendment and one fantastic constitutional law scholar.

---

 

What we later learned from a whistleblower who released unredacted employment files iot is the Duvall Police department knew Lori Batiot was a Brady Copy, but they failed to disclose this fact to countless defendants she testified against and falsified evidence against.  One said resident told the Gold Bar Reporter ” she ( Batiot) planted drugs in my school locker. Why, because she didn’t like me sticking my middle finger up to her.Had we known that she was a Brady Cop, we would have used that to discredit her. Duvall Washington should be sued for the harm they caused so many. I recently told the Mayor I want her fired! ”

Lori Batiot’s employee file documented that she was an uneducated political appointee to John E. Pennington and Duvall’s Mayor Will Ibershoff.  The deal was this: John Pennington would get former Executive Aaron Reardon to contract with Will Ibershoof’s employer, Waste Management, for county services, and Mayor Ibershoff would hire John Pennington’s mistress Lori Batiot.  Why, because John Pennington had just been charged with beating up a 3rd trimester pregnant Duvall City Council Member Ann Laughlin.  See below.

Corrupt Duvall police officer Lori Batiot, involved in extramarital affair with John E. Pennington, a source states for years while he was FEMA Region 10 Director.

---

Public records from Lori Batiot’s criminal complaint file inside the City of Shoreline document that attorney Sandra Sullivan and Margaret King set up a King County Sheriff’s Officer named Cary Cobltanz, a RICO Enterprise member, who tried to trump up criminal charges on Gold Bar Reporter for trying to warn the public about John E. Pennington’s pedophilism. All protected free speech issues.

Perhaps Ms. Sullivan failed constitutional law or she’s in so deep with Michael Kenyon and John E. Pennington’s racketeering that she saw no other way out of being exposed once Gold Bar’s emails are release from January 2009 to June 2009 ( months when Sandra Sullivan agreed to quash criminal charges against John Pennington in exchange for political favors from Snohomish County.

Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe: what a tangled web You’ve weaved when you attempt to deceive.

---

In late June 2015, King County Prosecutors released public records documenting that corrupt Duvall police officer Lori Batiot’s criminal complaint was “unfounded.”  The Prosecutors reasoned what Judge Meyers reasoned in his opinion when the DISMISSED John and Crystal Hill Pennington’s complaint in March 2015, ” Protected Free Speech.”

Records released from the City of Shoreline and Duvall document that the records that corrupt police officer Lori Baiot placed inside the public record belong to another blogger, were altered by Crystal Hill Pennington ( who with no surprise plead guilty to bank fraud in 2005) and pedophile from Snohomish County named John E. Pennington.

John E. Pennington is Snohomish County’s former Director who caused 43 people in Oso Washington to suffocate to death in March 2014, because instead of doing his job, he was off operating his own company on the County’s dime, and according to an insider, he was criminal harassing Gold Bar Reporters, while blogging on his Sky Valley Chronicle blog spot.

---

A source inside the City of Brier stated ” it was pretty common knowledge that Lori Batiot was engaged in an extramarital affair with John Pennington while he was FEMA Region 10 Director. In fact, she was caught taking the police car home so her and John could meet up. John was friends with Mayor Lane. You might remember Mayor from City of Brier was the Mayor involved that unsolved murder. He let Lori Batiot run her real estate business on the City’s dime for Windemere, and he set up John Pennington’s extramarital meet up with Lori Batiot. When the new Mayor came after Lane was alleged to be involved in the murder, he put an end to Lori Batiot’s misuse of the City’s resources for her personal and extramarital affair with John Pennington.”

Corrupt King County Sheriff’s Officer, Cary Coblantz, a RICO member

---

Those of us who love and support open government, can rest a little easier tonight knowing that King County released public records from a Sheriff’s Officer Cary Coblantz documenting gross civil rights violations. See below. Illegal tracking of US citizens without a warrant overseas, in violation of the 4th Amendment to the US Constitution.  Shoreline Officer Cary Coblantz was notified that he is being sued under 42 USC 1983 and RICO for his illegal conduct.

Cary Coblantz’s phone records confirm beyond any shadow of doubt that Sandra Sullivan assisted John Pennington’s little Racketeering efforts attempting to have the Gold Bar Reporter charged with a crime.

---

King County records also confirm that John E Pennington’s criminal conduct as stated herein took place using county resources and while on the County taxpayer’s dime, and he was behind the illegal tracking on the Gold Bar Reporter and her partner from London Heathrow airport.  Records we will be posting once our 1983 suit is filed this week.

---

A RICO suit has been filed noting the City of Duvall’s municipal law firm of Kenyon Disend for Racketeering.  Attorney Sandra Sullivan  was informed on Thursday that she will be added to the next RICO suit after text messages and phone records from King County link her to the RICO Enterprise. Some really good shit!

We tried contacting attorney Sandra Sullivan ( Meadowcraft) for comment but she refused.

---

A little hint about what’s behind the curtain up here in Gold Bar Washington, hence why the City of Gold Bar has misappropriated over $1,000,000.00 hiding Kenyon Disend’s Racketeering crimes. All for a pedophile named John E. Pennington and a bank frauder named Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) . 

According to Redmond District Court records, Sandra Sullivan (Meadowcraft) was employed by Kenyon Disend when she was assigned to prosecute Snohomish County’s number one political scum/appointee John E. Pennington for kicking and punching Duvall council member Anne Laughlin during her 3rd trimester and just three weeks before delivery of her daughter.

Instead of Sandra Sullivan prosecuting violent John Pennington, she quashed criminal assault charges from 2008-2009 against him.  ( Snohomish County pay stubs document Pennington has been on paid administrative leave since Oso).

I spoke to attorney Sandra Sullivan seeking comment regarding her lack of objecting to John Pennington’s template motion to dismiss he filed in May 2009.  Sandra Sullivan (Meadowcraft)  and I spoke for sometime, and as soon as she realized that we were onto her predicate acts in violation of RICO, she hung up.

Agreeing to Quash Criminal Charges in Exchange for Political Influence. Racketeering ? I believe so

Click to above to view John E. Pennington’s criminal assault charges of a pregnant woman ( in her third trimester of pregnancy).

see above Sandra Sullivan’s ( Meadowcraft) King County filing noting John E. Pennington is a dangerous man RICO  Issues that we reported about over the last year in “Kenyon Disend’s Dirty Bag of Secrets”

See https://goldbarreporter.org/2015/04/04/attorney-michael-kenyons-dirty-bag-of-secrets-part-ii/

Kenyon Disend and all of its lawyers were contacted for comment but refused comment.

Last month, King County Prosecutor’s released a statement stating that Duvall police officer Lori Batiot’s and Crystal Hill Pennington and John Pennington’s complaints based solely on issues of free speech, protected First Amendment activity were “unfounded.”

In March 2015, King County Judge Meyers “DENIED” Lori Batiot’s friends, Crystal Hill Pennington and John Pennington’s request to “restrain” the Gold Bar Reporters as a “prior restraint on free speech.”

Public emails released from King County confirms that King County Sheriff’s Officer Cary Coblantz issued a false statement inferring that Gold Bar Reporter Anne Block and her partner were wanted for “felony warrants” thus luring the Department of Justice Interpol ( DOJ) into their little RICo gang.

Cary Coblantz then illegally tracked Block and her partner coming from London Heathrow Airport to Seattle as well las Block’s private investigator and his wife. And now thanks to King County, we know that John Pennington is directly linked to the illegal tracking of the Gold Bar Reporter and her partner coming back from London Heathrow Airport.

As of now, John Pennington is being sued in US Federal Court for Racketeering, and a new suit is on its way just in time for 2016.

A Internal affairs complaint has been substantiated against King County Officer/scum Cary Coblantz, and he was notifed that he will be named in a RICO suit coming soon.

All over assisting a corrupt police officer who has a long history of conduct hardly becoming of any person let alone a police officer.

Duvall Mayor Will Ibershoff Hired John Pennington’s Mistress, a drunk pill popper

The City of Duvall released Lori Batiot’s Washington State Patrol record documenting that she was drunk at the time of a car accident; she blew a blood alcohol content (BAC) of  .129 (between 6- 7 drinks), lied to Whatcom County Sheriff’s Officer, and she was on mental health pills Zoloft and Valium at the same time she was driving drunk.

Above are copies of Lori Batiot’s police report verifying everything we’ve written about her conduct being ” unbecoming” of any police officer.

Better question those of us involved in exposing corrupt public officers like Lori Batiot is whether she had a legally issued prescription for the anti-depressant and valium’s she was using at the time she was arrested for DUI.

According to Batiot’s police report, she was using valium to “relax” herself because of a dentist appointment. We’re not sure about our readers but we don’t know too many dentists who are open at 0145 am ( time of Batiot’s arrest).

This police report is also at least the 3rd public record where Batiot accuses a person of “stalking.”  Seems like any time someone starts to uncover her crimes, she alleges “stalking.”

In the above record, it’s clear just based on Batiot’s BaC at the time of the her DUI arrest, she lied about the amount of alcohol she had just before driving and causing a major accident along  I-5 ( Bellingham).  She is  “unfit” for public duty.

---

Our readers should note that Lori Batiot managed to get hired as a police officer from the City of Duvall  after being fired for misconduct from the City of Ferndale and from the City of Brier.  We have ample reason to believe that Lori Batiot managed to get hired in Duvall because that’s where her very very very good friend John E. Pennington lives.

According to the below public record, John Pennington enjoys taking naked showers with little girls.  There is no evidence that John Pennington ever tried to Motion to Strike out this declaration, which would be pretty hard to do since the truth is an affirmative defense.

Further, public records from Duvall documents that John E. Pennington’s friend and Mayor Will Ibershoff hired Lori Batiot.  Emails from John Pennington’s divorce files confirms that Mayor Ibershoff assisted John Pennington in removing his wife Anne as a duly elected council member ( which is alleged in a RICO suit to amount to extortion), after she fled Duvall for her life when John Pennington kicked and punched her just three weeks before the delivery of her daughter.

John Pennington, a source inside Snohomish County, used by several newspapers, managed to get news story in the Seattle Times about Anne Laughlin not being a resident of Duvall thus she had to resign.  What the Times did not report was that John E. Pennington had just been charged with criminal assault of 3rd trimester pregnant woman and that was the reason Anne fled from Duvall ( temporarily seeking battered women’s shelter).

See more on ” The Stoning of Anne Laughlin”  https://goldbarreporter.org/2015/04/16/the-city-of-duvalls-stoning-of-anne-laughlin/

Some of these issues we’ve researched and written about in this article was also exposed in “Kenyon Disend’s Dirty Bag of Secrets”

See https://goldbarreporter.org/2015/04/04/attorney-michael-kenyons-dirty-bag-of-secrets-part-ii/

Kenyon Disend and all of its lawyers were contacted for comment but refused comment.

 The Bellingham WA State Patrol DUI police report confirms our worst fears; the City of Duvall knew about Lori Batiot’s criminal history before she was hired, and we believe that this makes her unfit for public service. Popping pills while drunk driving at minimum should speak for itself.

Before Lori Batiot managed to obtain a job as a police officer, her work experience was that of a coffee Barista!

The City of Duvall’s employee file of Lori Batiot also supports that she has no college degree and was fired from the City of Ferndale and City of Brier.

We feel that her days as a coffee Barista and her affair ( as stated in her DUI arrest record) lead to her obtaining a job with the City of Ferndale. A job she was unqualified for but managed to obtain.

We have ample evidence to state that Lori Batiot was hired by the City of Duvall as a political favor to Snohomish County’s number one welfare recipient  John E. Pennington.More that issue soon.

John Pennington often brags that he set up little RICO members inside government agencies to protect him from being charged with crimes.  Police reports from the City of Duvall confirms that Lori Batiot ran criminal obstruction for John Pennington anytime someone filed a criminal complaint against him.

Thus, the Gold Bar Reporters add one more cockroach to our list of public officials who need a hell of a lot of sunshine. As such, we will continue to post records relating to Lori Batiot’s misconduct so long as she’s a public official.

As former Washington State attorney general Rob McKenna nicely argued in Referendum 71, all public officers are subject to public scrutiny, or as Justice Scalia said “the fact is that running a democracy takes a certain amount of civic courage. And the First Amendment does not protect you from criticism or even nasty phone calls when you exercise your political rights to legislate, or to take part in the legislative process.”

---

Whether it’s a police officer, public official, politician, or a former Mayor of Gold Bar who is responsible for over $200,000 missing from Gold Bar’s water fund, to allow a person in a position of power to retaliate against a well respected news source  would mean that I condone such criminal behavior from our public officials. Simply put, I do not and will not.

Citizens are the checks and balances to a clean government. It’s our responsibly to expose corrupt public officials regardless of the personal cost to one’s self. Justice has no borders, has no price tag. Corruption harms all of us and must be exposed regardless of the personal cost to one’s self.

Thomas Jefferson said ” the highest form of patriotism is dissent.” This doesn’t mean that I believe our entire system is corrupt.  I do not.

As an idealist who believes that our courts are simply one prong to a healthy democracy. But lately they are failing to uphold the laws instead are hiding public officials crimes. So it’s up to  “we the people” to be the guarders of public agency employees we created and who are paid with the public’s trust.  It’s we the people that must protect the First Amendment from all invaders.  Police officers are no exception, and yesterday, the Washington State Supreme Court agreed with us.  Requesting access to public records, especially emails, is our statutory right.

After reviewing some of King County Detective Coblantz’s records as well as Kenyon Disend’s contract attorney Sandra Sullivan (Meadowcraft) records. I believe we unearthed another dirty cop and attorney who spit on basic constitutional principles that I love more than life itself. Thus, I cannot turn a blind eye, especially after Coblantz caused an honest taxpaying citizen to be physically raped for a dirty cop from Duvall.

To turn a blind eye when a wrong has been committed against any person for simply exercising First Amendment rights is not something that I can do.

One must wonder whether or not police departments are hiring officers with a high school diploma or high school dropouts.  The City of Duvall not only hired uneducated cops but also corrupt cops convicted of DUI who have been fired from two other City’s for misconduct.

For those of you who have past criminal convictions, enjoy filing false reports, enjoy having extramarital affairs with city residents, and no college degree, You should inquire within the City of Duvall at http://www.duvallwa.gov/jobs.aspx.

I feel fortunate to have been raised in a “free speech” zone, and most of all I am thankful to Thomas Jefferson for bringing the First Amendment back with him from Europe.

As new public records come out involving corrupt officers, I promise my readers they will be posted.

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.

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.”

---

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.
