NATIONAL PETITIONS INITIATED TO SUSPEND

FEDERAL FUNDING OF WASHINGTON STATE COURTS

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Seattle, WA Dec. 31, 2022. “I will never be charged with a crime, because we have people in every part of government who will always protect me,” boasted serial criminal and sex offender John Pennington, Jr. to his ex-mother-in-law, Linda Laughlin.

As a result of that boasting, and over 15 years of effort by public interest attorneys and journalists, including hundreds of public records requests and thousands of pages of litigation, Mr. Pennington personally exposed what is likely the single largest criminal enterprise in U.S. history. An explanation of how is works is here.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Today, Ninth Circuit Attorney John Scannell provided notice of a series of national Petitions to suspend Federal funding of Washington State courts. The Petitions will appear in the press, internet venues, and the courts. An advance draft follows:

Racketeering Enterprise That Denies Access to Justice to Washington State Citizens.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

John Scannell, a public interest advocate and lawyer in the Federal Ninth Circuit Court, started this Petition to the Department of Justice and others.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY OF THE PETITION

This Petition is for the citizens of Washington State – and all U.S. citizens – who don’t want their federal tax dollars to support a corrupt state court system. The goal of this Petition is to suspend Federal funding of Washington State Courts.

The citizens of Washington State are currently denied their Constitutional right to due process – a fair day in court – because of organized crime. The organized crime is called a RICO. The RICO, which operates openly, involves public officials and private attorneys.

The purpose of this Petition is to suspend Federal funding of the Washington State court system until the conclusion of Federal investigations. This Petition respectfully requests that Federal law enforcement based in Washington, D.C., the Department of Justice, Government Accountability Office (GAO), and Congress, investigate the allegations against specific people and legal cases. Those people and cases are listed in the “What We Are Asking” section below.

In addition to Washington State public officials, we ask for an investigation of the U.S. Attorney for the Western District, Nick Brown. Mr. Brown is fully aware of the RICO and is alleged to directly support the RICO by refusing to act against it. Prior to his position as U.S. Attorney, Mr. Brown was an attorney at a law firm that allegedly defends and supports the RICO according to legal scholars, researchers, and journalists.

In the Western District of the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Mr. Brown is the public’s last line of defense against public corruption. Because of that, Mr. Brown’s alleged knowing collaboration with the RICO, and inaction, is the most critical obstruction to public justice – his inaction protects and ensures the continued existence of the RICO.

This Petition calls for action by Washington, D.C. based Federal agencies to investigate the RICO. The first agency and contact is listed below, and several more will follow in the near future.

At the end of this Petition is a more detailed explanation that is titled “How the RICO Operates”

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

WHO I AM

My name is John Scannell. I am a public interest advocate and appellate attorney in the Federal Ninth Circuit Court. Separately, I am a candidate for the Supreme Court of Washington State.

With decades of experience as a public interest attorney, I have worked on behalf of public justice with more than one hundred million dollars of impact, and which have resulted in constructive social change. I have seldom asked for any financial compensation for my work throughout my entire public interest career.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

WHY I AM SPONSORING THIS PETITION

Should your Federal tax dollars support Washington State courts which are controlled by extensively documented organized crime? This is why I am sponsoring this Petition.

I believe in the importance of due process, and that everyone should have a fair day in court. Millions of people have died for your Constitutional right to due process.

My personal motivation resulted from my discovery of the RICO, the racketeering enterprise. It includes judges, prosecutors, and lawyers who present themselves as representing public interest while in fact they betray their sworn duty under the Federal and State Constitutions.

By allowing well documented corruption in its courts, the State of Washington has violated its court funding contract with the Federal government. That contract requires the State to uphold the Federal Constitution and ensure the right of due process – a fair day in court.

Extensive corruption in Washington State courts is a reality. The question is, what are we willing to do about it? If we work together, we can make a difference.

Power is not taken from us. We give it through fear and inaction. Let’s act now.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

WHO IS FUNDING THIS PETITION, AND WHO IS BEHIND IT?

No one is funding this Petition, and I am its sole official sponsor.

Behind this Petition are several dozen public interest attorneys, legal scholars, journalists, and others who have been targeted for retaliation by the RICO. We have spent over 15 years filing hundreds of public records requests, reviewing thousands of pages of public documents, and engaging in public interest litigation – all at our own expense.

The summary of the RICO that follows this Petition is the result of all of our collective public records requests, research, testimony of government and corrupt law firm insiders, and public interest litigation.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

WHAT THIS PETITION IS ASKING

This Petition, and related Petitions and actions, seek to suspend Federal funding of Washington State courts until the conclusion

Of Washington D.C. – based federal investigations of the following cases and individuals:

1. The Law Firm of Smith Goodfriend. Smith Goodfriend has occupied a central role in a series of cases targeted by the RICO. The cases have been targeted for the purpose of both financial loss control and/or retaliation by the RICO.

It is alleged that Smith Goodfriend has knowingly and illegally received millions of Washington State taxpayer dollars to persecute people where the State has no legal right to fund private litigation whatsoever. This is alleged to be a fraud upon the public, and the law firm owes Washington State taxpayers a full refund for all funds received.

2. The Case of Tim Eyman. Public interest advocate Mr. Eyman is alleged to have been illegally targeted and persecuted by Washington State Attorney General and RICO co-director Bob Ferguson for the purpose of financial loss control by the RICO, and personal retaliation. Mr. Ferguson is estimated to have spent $30,000,000 to $40,000,000 of Washington State taxpayer funds to illegally litigate against and harass Mr. Eyman.

3. The Case of Anne Block. Public interest advocate and award-winning journalist Anne Block has been illegally targeted and persecuted by Washington State Attorney General and RICO co-director Bob Ferguson for the purpose of financial loss control by the RICO, and personal retaliation. Mr. Ferguson is estimated to have spent $20,000,000 to $40,000,000 of Washington State taxpayer dollars to illegally litigate against Ms. Block with no valid legal basis whatsoever.

4. The Case of the Estate of Robert Cannon. The litigation involving the Estate of Robert Cannon is a model case of fraud involving RICO judges and two law firms: Hanis Irvine Prothero, and Smith Goodfriend.

King County Court Commissioners Masako Kanazawa and Carlos Velategui issued “completely fraudulent rulings,” according to allegations by legal experts. The Executor for the Robert Cannon Estate, Henry Cannon, was a former employee of the King County, Washington court.

5. Nick Brown. In addition to Washington State public officials and attorneys, we ask for an investigation of the U.S. Attorney for the Western District, Nick Brown. Mr. Brown is fully aware of the RICO and is alleged to directly support the RICO by refusing to act against it. Prior to his position as U.S. Attorney, Mr. Brown was an attorney at a law firm that defends and supports the RICO according to legal scholars, researchers, and journalists.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

IN CONCLUSION

We ask all Washington State citizens, Federal law enforcement organizations, legal advocacy groups, and every American citizen to join us in this Petition to suspend Federal funding for the Washington State court system until the conclusion of a Federal investigation of the named parties and cases.

The named parties, it is alleged, have betrayed their respective oaths of office and public trust to uphold the Constitution, betrayed the legal and ethical duty of the Washington State Court system to uphold the law, betrayed the trust of every federal taxpayer, and betrayed every Washington State citizen’s Constitutional inheritance: the right to due process – a fair day in court.

THIS PETITION WILL BE SENT TO: The Honorable Amy L. Solomon, who currently serves as Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of Justice Programs (OJP), and is the person who controls Federal funding of State courts.

Please also join us in directly contacting Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Solomon. Her phone number and address are listed on the screen below 202-514-2000; her mailing address is: Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice, 810 7th Street NW, Washington, D.C.20001. Amy Solomon’s personal email address: absolomon5@gmail.com

Let’s keep the Constitution alive by working to suspend our Federal tax dollars from the Washington State court system today. Please contact us and let us know if you or your organization would like to join us.

HOW THE RICO OPERATES

The courts of Washington State are currently controlled by organized crime.

This is a fact established by several public interest attorneys including me; national legal experts; and thousands of pages of evidence collected through hundreds of public records requests by journalists and legal academics at the award-winning publication, The Gold Bar Reporter.

The allegations in this Petition are the result of over 15 years’ public records requests, research, and litigation by the Gold Bar Reporter, its publisher, affiliated journalists, public interest lawyers, public records lawyers and experts, and several dozen concerned citizens.

The purpose of the alleged organized criminal activity – a racketeering enterprise called a RICO – is to control both the insurance market and financial losses for the insurance company Lloyd’s of London and its insurance partners, called syndicates. The RICO effects every citizen in Washington State.

A RICO is a complex fraud. Complexity is fraud’s best friend. Because complexity creates a kind of “sandstorm” of confusion. It allows the people who operate it, and the way that they operate it, to hide inside that storm. We have worked hard to deconstruct it.

An ongoing series of articles, “Seattle’s Epstein,” explains in more detail how the alleged RICO was exposed and operates. According to that series, in brief, this is a summary of how the RICO is structured, directed, and controlled:

1). Lloyd’s of London. The RICO is directed and controlled by the insurance company, Lloyd’s of London. In the U.S., the Lloyd’s RICO is directed and controlled by Cary Bond of Lloyd’s N.Y. office. Lloyd’s RICO is well documented in U.S. court cases like this one.

2). AWC. In the U.S., the RICO is operated on a state-by-state basis. In Washington State, the RICO is directed by Lloyd’s syndicate member, the Association of Washington Cities (“AWC”). Just days after his role in the RICO was exposed in the press, Peter King, the de facto CEO, hastily announced his retirement in an attempt to deceive Federal law enforcement.

3) The AG. The Co-Director of the Washington State unit of Lloyd’s RICO is State Attorney General (“AG”) Bob Ferguson. Mr. Ferguson was chosen and supported by Peter King to co-direct the RICO.

At the direction of Peter King, Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson controls the legal system and denies any Washington citizen, considered by the RICO to be a financial or political risk, their Constitutional right to a fair day in court in four main ways:

A). Public Records Officers. State public records officers, acting at the direction of Mr. Ferguson, routinely and illegally deny public records requests, destroy documents, and obstruct justice. The denial of public records prevents access to due process. These are criminal acts in violation of Federal law.

B) SAAGS. SAAGS are Special Assistant Attorney Generals. They are both private attorneys, and county prosecutors. A SAAG is basically “deputized” by Mr. Ferguson to act on his behalf as his own staff. This is illegal and unconstitutional: it places both attorneys and prosecutors in a conflict of interest with the people they have a legal duty to represent. When a prosecutor illegally accepts a SAAG contract from Mr. Ferguson, it allows Mr. Ferguson to assume the county prosecutor’s power of criminal prosecution, which is denied Mr. Ferguson under the Washington State Constitution. It also allows Mr. Ferguson to deny anyone he wants the right to due process under the Federal Constitution.

C) The Bar Assn. The private Washington State Bar Association is controlled by State Attorney General Bob Ferguson. Mr. Ferguson controls the Bar by illegally: 1) Giving the private Bar millions of dollars in free rent; 2) Hosting and controlling the Bar’s email and data servers; 3) Proving unlimited free legal services to the Bar – all at a cost of tens of millions of dollars to the taxpayers of Washington State; 4) Using the Bar and its State conferred disciplinary powers to target people chosen by Mr. Ferguson for liability control or political retaliation; and 5) Gifting the employees of the ‘private’ Washington State Bar tens of millions of dollars of state taxpayer dollars through the State retirement system, called PERS;

In one case alone, Mr. Ferguson has spent over $30,000,000 of State taxpayer dollars to illegally disbar, harass with contract private security and cybercriminals, and engage in baseless litigation with dozens of attorneys against a single person, Anne Block, a court-recognized journalist, and former public interest lawyer.

In sum, Attorney General Bob Ferguson controls the practice of law on behalf of the RICO with a carrot and a stick: the carrot is hiring certain attorneys as SAAGS, often from out of state and with criminal backgrounds. Their criminal histories are then deleted by Ferguson from the FBI’s NCIC database. Ferguson then has leverage over them, and they must act at his direction. The “stick” is simple: with complete control over the Bar Association, Ferguson directly controls the Bar’s disciplinary process, and disbars any attorney at his whim. Thus, bribery and extortion are foundational and routine practices for Bob Ferguson and the Bar.

D) Judges. Judges in Washington State are a key part of the RICO. They are routinely bribed in several known ways, including home refinancing where loans are paid by outside parties, “speaking engagements,” cash bribes, and promoted for their collusion and cooperation in the RICO. Corrupt judges are usually former employees of the staff of AG Bob Ferguson or were SAAGs – attorneys who were under contract by Bob Ferguson.

4). The U.S. Attorney in the Western District. For the public, the last line of defense against public corruption is U.S. Attorney for the Western District, Nick Brown. Until his appointment, aided by RICO co-director Bob Ferguson, Mr. Brown was an attorney with the SAAG law firm Pacifica Law Group. Pacifica law group allegedly has, and continues to protect, the RICO and its members.

SEATTLE’S EPSTEIN – Part Eight

NICK BROWN PROTECTS LLOYD’S OF LONDON’S RICO –

& SERIAL CHILD RAPIST JOHN PENNINGTON

“Brown and RICO Judges Are Plotting Revenge,”

According to the Testimony of Insiders

©By J.P. Zenger JPZengerMail@gmail.com

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

On 9/20/22, RICO Kingpin Nick Brown Contacted Snohomish County Prosecutors to Retaliate Against Members of the Press And Their Associates, Say Insiders Who Have Testified _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seattle, WA. Oct. 31, 2022. Serial con man, child rapist, and “person of interest” in a series of murders, John Pennington, Jr., aka “Seattle’s Epstein,” boasted that the Lloyd’s of London RICO he has been a part of “has placed people in every position of government in Washington State.”

After more than a decade’s effort, Mr. Pennington’s statement turned out to be true. At the top of the Lloyd’s of London criminal enterprise in Washington State are RICO Kingpins Peter King of AWC; State AG Ferguson; U.S. Attorney, Nick Brown; and Judge Ricardo aka “RICO” Martinez.

U.S. Attorney for the Western District, Nick Brown, who was Cancelled from the TV Show, “Survivor” for Selling out all of his Teammates and Working With the Opposition, Is “Fully Expected to Make a Deal to Sell out His Fellow RICO Kingpins,” Say Insiders _________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Thanks to Mr. Pennington’s bragging to his ex-mother-and the persistence of journalists, public interest attorneys, and an expanding network of those targeted by the RICO, more and more public official involving int he extended racketeering enterprise continue to be exposed.

“Lloyd’s of London’s RICO is a house of cards,” said semi-retired major media journalist Mr. Greenwald. “It’s a very old story. Greed. Power. Arrogance. It never lasts,” he said. “It’s such an odd quirk of human behavior that you can have such smart people do such stupid things and think it will last forever.”

Instead of acting as obviously intelligent as they are, the RICO members keep digging themselves deeper,” he said. “The RICO judges, prosecutors, law firms, and attorneys are going to fall like dominos,” said Mr. Greenwald.

Preparing for War: On Oct. 6, 2022, RICO Defender and Kingpin Nick Brown is Alleged To have Engaged in Illegal Ex Parte Conversations with Fellow RICO Member Judge Ricardo (aka “RICO”) Martinez, According to Testimony by Insiders, for the Purpose of Retaliating Against Members of the Press and Their Associates

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“We have been quietly gathering evidence for over a decade, and now dozens of people who have been targeted by the RICO are releasing a series of actions against the entire RICO network,” he said.

“But most of all, we have been collaborating with both national media and several major studios in the entertainment industry who are interested in developing documentaries, TV series, and film projects relating to the ‘Seattle’s Epstein’ series,” stated Mr. Greenwald.

“Reuters, ProPublica, MGM, Fox, representatives of entertainment luminaries, major national TV networks, and dozens of broadcast and print media journalists worldwide have recently reviewed the ‘Seattle’s Epstein’ series and its many components,” he said.

“It (the ‘Seattle’s Epstein Series’) really has it all,” said an entertainment producer. “Greed. Billions in fraud. The abuse of public office. David and Goliath. Murder. Rape. And it’s all true!” he exclaimed. “Jesus, what more could we possibly want?” said the animated Hollywood character.

“Ferguson is desperate. He knows he’s been caught red-handed, and is going down. He doesn’t care who he takes with him. He figures the more bodies he can throw between himself and his crimes, the more it will stall the feds who have evidence of his key role in the RICO,” said a staffer at the AG’s Office.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

None of the ongoing crimes, the rapes, the fraud, the entire OSO mudslide disaster, all of it, would be possible without Bob Ferguson, his staff, and their RICO partners protecting John Pennington,” said Mr. Greenwald. “Mr. Ferguson and company, including his contract attorneys called SAAGS, have erased Mr. Pennington’s federal FBI NCIC criminal record,” he said. “They routinely erase the NCIC records of people they place in key positions, so they have leverage over them, and they have to do whatever he tells them to.”

For his part, Nick Brown’s inaction against Pennington is equally significant. “Mr. Brown knows exactly who Pennington is and what he’s done,” said Mr. Greenwald. “Without Mr. Brown’s inaction, Mr. Pennington would not be able to continue his ongoing crime spree,” he said. “Mr. Brown’s failure to act against any RICO member is the absolute most important part of ensuring the continuation of the RICO.”

The most noteworthy part of Nick Brown’s central role in the RICO, is that he is in a conflict of interest, and is actually completely disqualified from holding office,” said Greenwald. First, he was directly employed by Pacifica Law Group, which is a SAAG law firm,” he said. Pacifica represented and defended the RICO. And second, as a SAAG he was directly employed by the AG’s office.”

Valerie A. Villacin and the Law Firm Smith Goodfriend, P.S. Occupy a Central Role In a Series of Cases Known to be Targeted by the Washington State Unit of Lloyd’s of London’s RICO, According to Journalists and Public Interest Attorneys. Ms. Villicin and Her Law Firm are Alleged to Routinely Engage in Illegal Ex Parte Communication with RICO Judges and Prosecutors for the Purpose of Case Fixing.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“What that means is, as a former SAAG, Mr. Brown is in on the game. You don’t have to look farther than the fact that Mr. Brown has refused to prosecute Lin O’Dell, who committed tens of millions of dollars of guardianship fraud, money laundering, and a dozen other federal crimes, to know that he’s protecting RICO members,” said legal scholar and public interest advocate Anne Block, J.D.

“Ultimately, beyond Mr. Brown’s direct and critical position in the RICO, and his pecuniary interest in many cases, every case he has been involved in will need to be reviewed, and many vacated, because of his conflicts,” she said.

Following is a summary of the RICO, how it is structured, directed, and controlled. The summary will be continuously updated and repeated at the end of every article in this series.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The RICO was exposed by John Pennington, Jr. A series of articles, “Seattle’s Epstein,” explains in more detail how the RICO was exposed and how it works. According to that series, in brief, this is how the alleged RICO is structured, directed, and controlled:

1). Lloyd’s of London. The RICO is directed by the insurance company, Lloyd’s of London. In the U.S., the Lloyd’s RICO is directed and controlled by Cary Bond of Lloyd’s N.Y. office. Lloyd’s RICO is well documented in U.S. court cases like this one. The purpose of the RICO is to control financial losses as well as insurance markets for Lloyd’s and its insurance affiliates and partners, such as AWC in Washington State, and the State’s Department of Enterprise Services, a member of the risk pool.

2). AWC. The RICO is operated on a state-by-state basis. In Washington, the RICO is directed by Lloyd’s syndicate member, AWC. Just days after his role in the RICO was exposed in the press, Peter King, the de facto CEO, hastily announced his retirement in an attempt to deceive federal law enforcement.

3) The AG. The Co-Director of the Washington State unit of Lloyd’s RICO is State Attorney General (“AG”) Bob Ferguson. Mr. Ferguson was chosen and is supported by Peter King to co-direct the RICO.

At the direction of Peter King, Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson control the legal system and deny any Washington citizen, considered by the RICO to be a financial or political risk, their Constitutional right to a fair day in court in four main ways:

Records officers who are controlled by Mr. Ferguson are often hired from other parts of the country and have criminal backgrounds. Mr. Ferguson and those acting at his direction erase their criminal records on the FBI’s NCIC database, and thus have a ‘sword of Damocles hanging over their heads.

B) SAAGS. SAAGS are Special Assistant Attorney Generals. They are both private attorneys, and county prosecutors. A SAAG is basically “deputized” by Mr. Ferguson to act at his direction, effectively as his own staff. This is illegal and unconstitutional: it places both attorneys and prosecutors in a conflict of interest with the people they have a legal duty to represent.

When a prosecutor illegally accepts a SAAG contract from Mr. Ferguson, it allows Mr. Ferguson to assume the county prosecutor’s power of criminal prosecution, which is denied Mr. Ferguson under the Washington State Constitution. It also allows Mr. Ferguson to deny anyone he wants the right to due process under the federal Constitution.

The list of SAAGS consists of hundreds of attorneys and law firms. SAAGs allow Mr. Ferguson to control every county legal system by putting county prosecutors on the state payroll; SAAGS allow Mr. Ferguson to control the legal profession in the state as a whole, because anyone who needs to hold the state accountable through the courts can’t – nearly every large law firm is on the payroll of the state. This is all at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars to the state taxpayers.

C) The Bar Assn. The ‘private’ Washington State Bar Association is controlled by State Attorney General Bob Ferguson. Mr. Ferguson controls the Bar by: 1) Illegally giving the private Bar millions of dollars in free rent; 2) Hosting and controlling the Bar’s email and data servers; 3) Providing unlimited free personal legal services to the Bar and its staff – all at a cost of countless millions of dollars to the taxpayers of Washington State; 4) Gifting every employee of the ‘private’ Bar tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer dollars through the State retirement system, called PERS; and 5) Using the Bar and its disciplinary powers to target people chosen by Mr. Ferguson for liability control or political retaliation.

In one case alone, Mr. Ferguson has spent over $20,000,000 of state taxpayer dollars to target a court-recognized, award-winning journalist, Anne Block, by directing her illegal disbarment. It wasn’t enough for Mr. Ferguson. He then directed his staff, at taxpayer expense, to contract private security and cybercriminals to harass Ms. Block across the country, day and night. Mr. Ferguson then directed and has full knowledge of legally baseless litigation, in the total absence of any wrongdoing, with dozens of SAAG attorneys against her. Mr. Ferguson has committed dozens of federal crimes against Ms. Block.

The Beauregard Case. The Beauregard Case is considered one of the most corrupt decisions in Washington State and U.S. history. It concluded that the State Bar Association is a private organization.

Because the Bar, as referenced previously, was declared private by the State Supreme Court, yet has received hundreds of millions of state taxpayer dollars, legal experts assert that the only rational explanation for the decision is that the Bar Association management, staff, and legal counsel had colluded with the members of the State Supreme Court.

The Janis decision determined that a given state bar association may not combine a private professional association with state powers, according to legal experts. The Washington Bar Association and the Supreme Court of Washington State realized that all of the money the state had been giving the Bar, and the Bar’s participation in the RICO would mean that, not only would the Bar have to pay taxpayers back hundreds of millions of dollars, but all of the liability for the Bar’s involvement in the RICO would potentially expose them to billions in liability.

By illegally defining the Bar as private, against all facts and common sense, in one single stroke the Supreme Court, which is responsible for overseeing the Bar, together with the management of the Bar, were able to shift all of the liability from the members of the State Supreme Court and the management of the Bar – themselves – to the individual members of the Bar. It won’t work, say the experts, who say they just dug themselves a deeper hole.

Following the example of West Virginia for ‘incomparably lesser crimes’ than have been allegedly committed by the Washington State Supreme Court, public interest lawyers are calling for its immediate impeachment. ‘This is a level of open corruption that would have been an embarrassment to Huey Long, or even a third world dictatorship. It’s just ridiculous,’ said the head of a Washington, D.C. public interest group.

In West Virginia, the Supreme Court was indicted for use of a government vehicle; submitting mileage claims for reimbursement; using a government vehicle and credit card on personal trips; and unlawfully converting to his own use a historically significant piece of furniture – a Cass Gilbert desk. Justices were also indicted for attempting to corruptly obstruct and influence testimonial evidence of a Supreme Court employee in an imminent grand jury investigation.

‘For these crimes, one Justice faced a potential sentence of up to 395 years in prison, a fine of $5.5 million, and a term of supervised release of up to 3 years,’ said the Director of the national public interest group. ‘And yet in Washington State, we have open collusion between the State Supreme Court, the Bar Association’s Director Tollefson, Lloyd’s of London’s insurance syndicate, AWC, and a wildly corrupt Attorney General, Bob Ferguson for fraud involving billions of dollars,’ he said.

‘So here you have the State Supreme Court, rather than being the solution to one of the State’s biggest problems, this multi-billion-dollar RICO, is an integral part of the RICO,’ he said. Representing the Bar was Valerie A. Villacin and the Law Firm Smith Goodfriend, P.S. who are under investigation by Public Interest Attorneys and Journalists to determine their relationship to the RICO.

D) Judges. ‘A significant portion’ of Judges in Washington State are a key part of the RICO, according to insiders and legal experts. They are routinely bribed in several known ways, including home refinancing where a third party pays off their home loans. RICO judges, usually former SAAGS or former direct employees of Mr. Ferguson, are routinely promoted for their collusion and cooperation in the RICO.

E) The Commission on Judicial Conduct. The Commission on Judicial Conduct has failed to act against the RICO members. Any of them. The disciplinary actions they pursue create the appearance that they are doing their jobs, while allegedly the CJC works in lockstep with the Bar.

4). The U.S. Attorney in the Western District. For the public, the last line of defense against public corruption is in Washington State is the U.S. Attorney for the Western District, currently Nick Brown. Until his appointment, which was aided by RICO co-director Bob Ferguson, Mr. Brown was an attorney with the SAAG law firm Pacifica Law Group. Pacifica Law Group has protected, and continues to protect, the RICO and its members.

WASHINGTON COURT FRAUD RECEIVES NATIONAL NOTICE

Supreme Court Candidate Calls for Suspension

Of Federal Funding for Washington Courts

Valerie A. Villacin and the Law Firm Smith Goodfriend, P.S. are Under Investigation by

Public Interest Attorneys and Journalists to Determine Their Relationship to a RICO

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Seattle, WA Sept. 11, 2022. “The courts of Washington State are as corrupt as any in the history of the nation” according to national legal experts, and a famous Ninth Circuit lawyer this week is implementing “phase one” of his solution: the suspension of federal funding for the state court system.

A growing contingent of public interest lawyers and those who have been targeted for retaliation by a rapidly unravelling criminal network, called a RICO, are preparing a series of nationally high-profile actions which call for the investigation and prosecution of those involved.

“It isn’t just King County, by any means,” said John “The Wizard of Laws” Scannell, a nationally respected Ninth Circuit lawyer, who is suing Washington Secretary of State Steven Hobbs. Washington State Supreme Court Justice Barbara Madson is named as Mr. Hobbs’s co-defendant.

The suit filed by the famous public interest attorney is a “Petition to Correct Election Error.” A candidate for State Supreme Court, Mr. Scannell is demanding to run against Supreme Court incumbent Barbara Madson under election provisions for write-in candidates. Madson otherwise would run unopposed.

“The case asserts his right to be on the ballot. He argues that the Secretary of State misjudged the number of candidates prematurely. Further, while Mr. Scannell remains barred in the Ninth Circuit, it is common knowledge in the legal profession that Mr. Scannell’s state disbarment was completely illegal,” said semi-retired major media journalist Mr. Greenwald.

“His disbarment was legally baseless. The state had no jurisdiction whatsoever. Even without the bedrock issue of jurisdiction, he is a qualified candidate for Supreme Court under the State Constitution because he was previously licensed in the state. Even the Ninth Circuit Court refused to recognize the state’s illegal disbarment. The disbarment was an open act of retaliation by a wildly corrupt Bar Association and the RICO the Bar is an integral member of,” Mr. Greenwald continued.

“The RICO was exposed by John Pennington, Jr. A series of articles, “Seattle’s Epstein,” explains in more detail how the RICO was exposed and how it works. According to that series, in brief, this is how the alleged RICO is structured, directed, and controlled:

The purpose of the RICO is to control financial losses as well as insurance markets for Lloyd’s and its insurance affiliates and partners, such as AWC in Washington State, and the State’s Department of Enterprise Services, a member of the risk pool.

Records officers who are controlled by Mr. Ferguson are often hired from other parts of the country, and have criminal backgrounds. Mr. Ferguson and those acting at his direction erase their criminal records on the FBI’s NCIC database, and thus have a ‘sword of Damocles hanging over their heads.

4). The U.S. Attorney in the Western District. For the public, the last line of defense against public corruption is in Washington State is the U.S. Attorney for the Western District, currently Nick Brown. Until his appointment, aided by RICO co-director Bob Ferguson, Mr. Brown was an attorney with the SAAG law firm Pacifica Law Group. Pacifica law group has protected, and continues to protect, the RICO and its members.

5). Cases. Mr. Scannell’s legal actions, and related petitions, are expected to suspend funding for the State Courts until the FBI’s Office of Public Corruption in Washington, D.C. investigate the following cases and individuals before federal funding is restored for the courts of Washington State:

A) The Beauregard Case. The Beauregard Case is considered one of the most corrupt decisions in Washington State and U.S. history. It concluded that the State Bar Association is a private organization.

‘So here you have the State Supreme Court, rather than being the solution to one of the State’s biggest problems, this multi-billion dollar RICO, is an integral part of the RICO,’ he said.

Representing the Bar was Valerie A. Villacin and the Law Firm Smith Goodfriend, P.S. who are under investigation by Public Interest Attorneys and Journalists to determine their relationship to the RICO.

Ms. Valerie A. Villacin and the firm Smith Goodfriend, P.S. are Special Assistant Attorney Generals, or SAAGS. SAAGS are considered an integral component of the RICO, and act at the direction of State Attorney General Ferguson.

B) The Estate of Robert Cannon. King County Court Commissioners Masako Kanazawa and Carlos Velategui issued ‘completely and openly fraudulent rulings,’ according to allegations by legal experts regarding the Estate of Robert Cannon, which had, and continues, to deny a substantial creditor to the Cannon Estate a fair day in court.

The Executor for the Robert Cannon Estate, Henry Cannon, was a former employee of the courts of King County, Washington. Currently representing Mr. Cannon is Valerie A. Villacin and the Law Firm Smith Goodfriend, P.S. who are under investigation by Public Interest Attorneys and Journalists to determine their relationship to the RICO.

Investigation for Her Alleged Role in the Cannon Estate Fraud

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

C) Anne Block. Mr. Ferguson directed Judge Michael Scott, in King County, Washington, to rule that a single legal case filed by a one person, Ms. Block, defined her as a vexatious (excessive) litigant. It is the only case in U.S. history where the filing of a single case defined a litigant as a vexatious litigant, thus denying Ms. Block her right to due process under the state and federal Constitutions.

Judge Scott, a known child molester, has been protected by the RICO and has never been prosecuted for his crimes against children, which is a matter of record with the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services, Child Protection Division,” said Mr. Greenwald.

For his part, Mr. Scannell’s suit to assert his lawful right to run for State Supreme Court is now gaining national press attention, which will be covering both his candidacy and his reasons for running, which are explained in Mr. Scannell’s ballot statement:

“You have the right to live under the rule of law. Because of judicial corruption and organized crime, you are now denied that right.

I am a politically independent attorney in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and have decades of experience successfully fighting public corruption as a public interest lawyer.

I will work to restore your Constitutional right to have a fair day in court in four ways:

1) Judicial Discipline. Judges currently – and illegally – claim to be immune from the law. I will work to change that.

2) Attorney Discipline. Attorneys now regulate themselves, and routinely commit crimes without being held accountable. I will work to change that.

3) The Bar Association. The private Bar Association has stolen millions of your taxpayer dollars, and acted against public interest. I will work to return funds to state taxpayers..

4) I am filing a national action this week to suspend federal funding – your federal tax dollars – from the Washington State Court system until these things are investigated and prosecuted.

I will continue to work to fix these problems and others that will protect your Constitutional rights and tax dollars with decisions that are intelligent, just, and ethical.”

“The law is clear,” said an elections lawyer familiar with the case. “The only way to misinterpret it is if one is either incredibly stupid and/or equally corrupt. That’s the purpose of his candidacy, to address what national legal experts have referred to as a court system that is “as corrupt as any court system in the nation.”

Alternately referred to as “Zamboni John,” Ninth Circuit attorney Scannell was a former zamboni driver for the City of Seattle’s hockey ring, is known to rarely charge for his relentless work on public interest cases, and is also known to spend more than a decade on a case in the pursuit of justice.

A marathon runner at age 74, Mr. Scannell is one of the few people in Washington State history to have gotten a perfect SAT score. With a degree in Physics from the University of Washington, and a former chess master, the current appellate attorney considers his illegal state disbarment a badge of honor.

Mr. Scannell’s actions in some cases have extended over a decade, hundreds of thousands of pages, and had hundreds of millions of dollars of impact. He is completely unconcerned about the personal cost of his work, and considers it his civic duty. Performing public interest work has cost him countless millions.

“If you do public interest work, you will offend people in power who are willing to commit crimes to retaliate against you. The question is, what are you willing to do about it? Are you willing to pay the price so we may live under the rule of law that millions have died for?” he said.

“Power isn’t taken. It’s given through fear and inaction,” said Mr. Scannell. “I’m in it for the long run,” he said, presumably a quip related to his marathon running.

Mr. Scannell’s case is before Thurston County, Washington Judge Dixon.

SEATTLE’S EPSTEIN’S – PART SIX

“RICO Henchman” Sinks The Bar

By J.P. Zenger

Washington State Bar President Brian Tollefson is Alleged to be a Critical Component of Lloyd’s of London’s Washington State RICO

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Brian Tollefson is predicted by legal experts to be “imminently criminally indicted” for his key role in the Washington State unit of Lloyd’s of London’s RICO.

“We have hundreds of pages of evidence, in addition to the testimony of insiders, that Mr. Tollefson has acted as a key henchman for Lloyd’s Washington State RICO,” said semi-retired major media journalist Mr. Greenwald. “He has personally buried the Bar and its members in billions of dollars of liability. All for personal gain.”

Mr. Tollefson has in fact reported directly to, and acted at the direction of, Washington State RICO director Peter King, the de facto CEO of AWC, and RICO co-director, Washington State Attorney General (AG) Bob Ferguson. Not only has Mr. Tollefson acted against the Bar’s public interest mandate, but he has acted against the people he has sworn to represent – the members of the Bar.

The recent exposure of Mr. Tollefson’s role in the RICO resulted from Lloyd’s rapidly unravelling criminal enterprise exposed by s erial criminal and rapist John Pennington, Jr., as chronicled in this series, “Seattle’s Epstein.” Mr. Tollefson has personally orchestrated and covered up criminal acts of retaliation against members of the Bar.

“The retaliation happens routinely. Personal vendettas. Mostly for liability control for the RICO, which is its main purpose?

There is no possible way for the Bar to continue as it has. The Bar has continued and continued to accrue liability. They have all put their heads in the sand and pretended that the party would go on forever.

The exposure of Mr. Tollefson’s role in the RICO resulted from Lloyd’s rapidly unravelling criminal enterprise exposed by serial criminal and rapist John Pennington, Jr., as chronicled in this series, “Seattle’s Epstein.” After more than ten years of public records requests, “the Bar’s role in the RICO became crystal clear,” say attorneys close to the case.

“Fundamentally, the RICO exists for the purpose of liability control,” said the Ninth Circuit Appellate public interest Attorney John Scannell, “The Bar has, and continues to play, a key role in controlling the RICO’s liability.” the Jurist continued, “there are several ways that Mr. Tollefson, the Board of Governors, and Bar management do this.”

There are three ways that the Bar has buried members in liability,” said Mr. Greenwald. “First, they have ignored the Janus decision,” he said, referring to the SCOTUS decision that “anyone with an I.Q. bigger than their shoe size knows means the Bar must be bifurcated. The fact that the Bar ignored Janus has incurred massive liability for members.

“Second, the Bar’s members are exposed to liability from the public for the Bar’s theft of hundreds of millions of dollars from State taxpayers,” he stated. “The Beauregard decision determined that the Bar is a private organization, yet the staff of the Bar have been bleeding money from the public for decades. It’s now owed back,” said Greenwald.

“To start with, there is no rational or justifiable reason in the world that a private organization of any kind should be on the Washington State Public Employee Retirement System, PERS,” stated Mr. Greenwald. “Could you imagine the staff of the National Rifle Association being on a Washington State’s public employee retirement system?”

Greenwald continued, “But that’s just a fraction of the Bar’s theft of public money that Bar members now owe back to the public. Next is tens of millions of dollars of free rent the Bar has been getting at the expense of the taxpayer, and millions of dollars of free legal services from the AG and its network of hundreds of SAAG contractors,” he said.

Counsel close to the case being developed against Bar members added, “The Bar’s theft of public money seems endless. The AG even provides IP hosting and email servers for the Bar at taxpayer expense. The AG schedules and hosts the Bar’s Continuing Legal Education (CLEs) at taxpayer expense, and the State Supreme Court has the AG’s DES provide free counsel to Bar staff.”

“For example,” said Counsel for the taxpayer’s multibillion dollar case against the Bar and its members, “Bar staff Kara Ralph filed a state tort form in relation to a harassment claim,” he said. “In a remarkable conflict of interest, and all at taxpayer expense, the State then provided her free counsel via Department of Enterprise Services (DES). Then used state money to pay the claim.”

“But third, and by far the most significant way the Bar has buried its members in billions of dollars of liability is because of its role in the Lloyd’s of London RICO,” said the nationally recognized lawyer. “The main implication of Lloyd’s RICO is that the Bar has participated in the manipulation of the state’s legal system to control liability.”

“Lloyd’s RICO is directed by AWC, co-directed by the AG and DES, in collusion with the Bar. Here are three main ways the RICO controls the legal system:

Judicial corruption. Judges are given paid speaking engagements, directly bribed, and even federal judges are on the state public retirement system, PERS.

SAAGs. SAAGS are Special Assistant AGs under contract and accountable only to the AG. They comprise hundreds of private attorneys and county prosecutors who are in an absolute conflict of interest and allow the AG to usurp police powers denied to the AG by the State Constitution,” he said. The SAAGs are routinely used to retaliate against any person or company that the RICO considers a financial risk.

“Tollefson is also known to act on behalf of Lloyd’s RICO by engaging in ex parte communication about cases that could result in liability exposure with known RICO judges on the federal bench, Ricardo aka “RICO” Martinez, and Richard Jones; and in the Ninth Circuit, Ronald Gould and Eric D. Miller (who served as a Special Attorney General for Washington State), said Mr. Greenwald. The Bar, together with AWC and the State, have a death grip on the legal system, extending to and including the Ninth Circuit Court.

The Bar’s power of the state. The Bar has been conferred the power of the state and its treasury, and used that power against anyone considered a financial risk to the RICO.

For example, in the absence of any legally based charge of wrongdoing, AG Bob Ferguson has directed the SAAGS to use SLAPP litigation, fraudulent Bar hearings, defamation, contract private security consults, and contract cybercriminals against one single member of the press, Anne Block, spending over $20 million of taxpayer money in the process.

Mr. Tollefson has personally orchestrated and covered up criminal acts of retaliation against members of the Bar. Mr. Tollefson has simply acted as a henchman for the Bar, which is completely controlled by the RICO.

Regardless of the evidence that the Bar is a public organization, spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer money and fully charged with the power of the State, by colluding with the State Supreme Court to declare themselves private, the Bar and the state successfully shifted liability from the state away from the Bar’s Board of Governors, the Bar management, and the state, to the members of the Bar.

This is the Central purpose of Lloyd’s RICO, the Washington State unit of which is AWC and the AG’s DES: liability control. “The Board of Governors and management have done this in secret. Behind closed doors. Private meetings. Secret memos. Because once the Bar and Supreme Court declared the Bar private, the Bar was no longer subject to either the Public Records Act or the Open Meetings Act.

Will the entire Board of Governors continue to dance to Mr. Tollefson’s pied piper tune on the deck of the Titanic? Will they all continue to expose themselves to personal liability and end up destitute?

Will the Bar’s members finally have the integrity and at least act for self-preservation to demand the Bar stop burying its members in personal liability? Power concedes nothing without a demand.

It is a near certainly that the current Board and Management will present a complex Atlantic City boardwalk shell game to perpetuate its power and continue to expose Bar members to billions of dollars of liability.

It’s time for a vote of no confidence to clear the board and transitional management, get a new Board of Governors, open the meetings to the Bar members on any subject, and design a legitimately bifurcated Bar.

Anything less will continue to expose the members of the Washington State Bar to billions of dollars of personal liability,” he said.

Time Is Running Out for Lloyd’s of London’s Washington State RICO Unit

Part Five of Ten

By J.P. Zenger

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

On March 8, 2022, at 11:18 a.m., the offices of Snohomish County, Washington government seemed the same as any other morning. There were two exceptions. In the main reception area, the unseasonal smell of freshly cut grass drifted in through the partially open window on an unusually clear and sunny 46-degree day for early March. Nothing remotely suggested that a metaphoric F5 storm loomed just over the horizon.

The second exception to routine was the presence of a federal agent serving a subpoena. Compelling records about members of the largest RICO in the history of Washington State. The subpoena is expected to be the first of many. Over the next few months, dozens of local and state government offices, public officials, and private law firms are predicted by legal experts to be next. The storm with the power to eviscerate the RICO and the lives of its members thus announced its imminent arrival in Washington State.

After 15 years of effort by Washington State’s Gold Bar Reporter, together with its growing network of 13 volunteer attorneys, 86 victims and their families, hundreds of public records requests, and a lengthy investigation by federal law enforcement, the Washington State unit of what is now proven to be a massive global RICO operated by Lloyd’s of London appears to be rapidly nearing its end, according to voluminous evidence and insider testimony.

The RICO was deconstructed by the Gold Bar Reporter after retaliation by RICO member John E. Pennington, Jr., as chronicled in this series, “Seattle’s Epstein.” As explained earlier in the series, one of several cogs in Lloyd’s complex RICO machine is estate, probate and guardianship fraud involving billions of dollars. “We really lucked out,” said John Scannell, an appellate attorney in the 9th Circuit. “At the end of over a decade’s work, when choosing model RICO cases to bring to national attention, we found what is alleged to be a model case of estate fraud.” Luck may have little to do with the extended public interest group’s ongoing success.

For his part, Mr. Scannell is clearly a remarkable person. One of the few people in the history of the state to get a perfect SAT Score, he has a degree in physics from the University of Washington, is an accomplished chess champion, and has a decades-long history of public interest litigation with hundreds of millions of dollars of impact. He has rarely charged for his work and has a national reputation as “The Wizard of Laws.”

Mr. Scannell’s associate Anne Block, J.D., is equally remarkable. She worked through law school as a machinist while raising her infant daughter as a single mother. An award-winning investigative journalist, she inherited from her social activist New England parents a 163 IQ, their tireless Yankee work ethic, a blunt Boston bravado, and instilled in her an obligation to actively challenge corruption – regardless of the time or cost required. “They considered our historic Bostonian civic duty sacred,’ she said. “So do I.”

Luck may also have little to do with how the group’s associates discovered their model estate fraud case. In 2019, a guardianship victims’ relative, semi-retired major media journalist Mr. Greenwald joined the Gold Bar Reporter network. He acquired state-of-the-art fraud detection software, and began to process Washington State records. “We now discover patterns of fraud and relationships in seconds that until a couple of years ago would have taken thousands of hours and was only used by the NSA and CIA,” he said.

Openly Corrupt King County Commissioner Carlos aka “Crazy Carlos” Velategui is a Key Member of a Vast Washington State RICO

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“It’s hard to overstate the significance of the new fraud analysis software. It’s like we are dealing with 19 century bank robbers who have no idea what a computer is. The software uses artificial intelligence and ‘Big Data’ in such complex and sophisticated ways that it really is science fiction come true. We have the next best thing to a brain scanner. After we find the patterns and cases, the same judges, attorneys, and public officials appear. We then contact the victims and their heirs.

The model case that the group discovered is the estate of the late Robert Cannon. “It’s the perfect fraud case,” said Mr. Greenwald. “We have an openly corrupt commissioner, Carlos aka ‘Crazy Carlos’ Velategui, and a plaintiff, Henry Cannon, who was an employee of King County and a friend of several judges. It couldn’t be better,” he stated. “This is our dream case. Velategui was already on our short list of the most corrupt judges in the state before his initial retirement two years ago. We are also reviewing all of the cases of Hanis Irvine Prothero.

“Known to be one of the most openly corrupt King County, Washington judges for his entire career, Velategui continues to fraudulently exhume himself from retirement like a crypt keeper of public corruption whose rotting hand clutching a fistful of stolen dollars rises from the grave in a “B” movie. But he couldn’t do it without the help of his friends in King County government,” said Mr. Greenwald. “They know who he is and what he does.”

Upon discovery of the Cannon estate case, the group reached out to an estate creditor with their evidence. The effort to elevate public attention about Velategui, other colluding public officials, and the firm Hanis Irvine includes two websites focused on Velategui and Hanis Irvine to assist victims with the automation of filing federal criminal complaints, to function as central repositories for evidence, and to collect and package evidence for a civil class action. “We have large national firms interested before the sites are fully live on May 15,” said Mr. Greenwald.

Patrick M. Hanis, the Law Firm Hanis Irvine Prothero and its staff are the subject of a RICO Investigation.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“It’s all about focus. In addition to Pennington, who really revealed the entire RICO, we are focusing on a relatively small number of public officials and attorneys. Our greatest asset is their arrogance. We will keep packaging evidence and sending it to federal authorities in D.C. We know how much collusion there is between the RICO members and public officials in the Western District,” said Anne Block, Publisher of the Gold Bar Reporter.

For his part, Patrick Hanis is a key subject of the Gold Bar Reporter investigation. In addition to his involvement in probate and guardianship cases of interest, Mr. Hanis has acted as a Commissioner for King County Water District #111 since February 2004, which serves the areas of Meridian Valley and Lake Meridian in Kent. During that time, he and his law firm have represented clients with water rights issues.

Charles Wilson is Being Investigated for His Decisions Involving Clients of Hanis Irvine

Gary G. Cline is Being Investigated for His Decisions Involving Clients of Hanis Irvine

“We are examining every case of record and alleged conflicts of interest between Water District 111, Mr. Hanis, Hanis Irvine, and its staff, clients, Mr. Charles Wilson, and Mr. Gary G. Cline,” said Ms. Block. “Beyond that, I can no longer comment.”

UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA FAIRBANKS, John Pennington, Explains His Support And “Outspoken Advocacy” of Abortion Rights

Killer and Serial child rapist John Pennington explains his unwavering support of abortion as being “about consistency”

Fairbanks, AK USA “I may have committed negligent homicide of 43 people, and am currently an alleged ‘person of interest’ in some other supposed homicides and disappearances of underage children across a few states and Canada, but it’s really about consistency,” said John Pennington, aka “Seattle’s Epstein,” reflecting on his well-known support of abortion. “I mean, I may be called a murderer, but at least I’m not a hypocrite.”

The nationally infamous serial criminal took time from his schedule as a public official and Faculty Member of the University of Alaska for a remarkably candid, if not confessional, interview with the Gold Bar Reporter to explain his international activism as a leading supporter of abortion rights. “I want to be very clear about my position on abortion,” he stated with emphasis, “I not only support abortion, but I also support it in any circumstance through the third trimester of pregnancy. In fact my personal philanthropy has focused exclusively on supporting abortion rights, and personally paying for dozens of abortions.”

Mr. Pennington has, in fact, illustrated his point of conviction and degree of advocacy of the right to end life through his own personal experience, as is reflected in the public record. In Seattle, when Mr. Pennington and his former wife had a disagreement about carrying their own child to term, he took matters into his own hands to tangibly express the extent of his passion and no-compromises position about the right to terminate a pregnancy. John Pennington nearly beat his ex-wife to death while she was in her third trimester of pregnancy. He had done the same to other former spouses and girlfriends as well. Repeatedly.

“Look at my track record. Of course I support abortion in all its forms, whether done through a licensed clinic, a veterinarian, a midwife, or even in a back alley,” said Mr. Pennington. “It’s an established fact that I was responsible for the death of 43 people. Wouldn’t it be kind of silly if I went around saying I was pro-life?” he said, “Actually, it would be nothing short of ridiculous,” he emphasized. Mr. Pennington’s court-ordered psychiatric evaluation by Dr. Marsha Hendricks in Seattle concurred, concluding that he has “no empathy for human life whatsoever.”

Another court-appointed psychiatric evaluation by Dr. Ableben Z. Hintritt of Los Angeles, California concluded that Mr. Pennington’s:

“…severe Asperger’s, together with a long history of incest and reciprocal extreme domestic violence from a very young age that involved both his mother and grandfather has resulted in a deeply disturbed and dangerous psychopath with behavior manifesting in dissociative identity disorder, commonly known as a ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ personality.’”

Dr. Hintritt further predicted that:

“Mr. Pennington’s disorders will be regularly triggered by seemingly random events, and will continue to result in severe outbursts and physical violence, including inevitable threats to human life. When those trigger events occur, he has no capacity whatsoever to control his behavior, degree of internal agitation, and external violence and harm that will predictably manifest during those events. Mr. Pennington is a headline waiting to happen,” said the internationally regarded Psychiatrist. Dr. Hintritt’s prediction was prophetic. The headlines have appeared all over the world.

“By far the greatest danger of Asperger’s patients who also manifest psychopathy and antisocial behavior is their ability to study and mimic the behavior of others, and thus to appear normal until any number of trigger events occurs,” stated Dr. Hintritt in his report to the Court. “This is very disarming in the case of Mr. Pennington, as the subject is highly intelligent, presents with a distinguished and attractive appearance, and yet as accurately cited in the previous analysis by Dr. Hendricks, Mr. Pennington has absolutely no capacity for human empathy whatsoever,” he said. “The combination of his disorders, together with a complete absence of any moral compass makes Mr. Pennington as dangerous as any subject I have ever assessed,” stated the noted Psychiatrist and profiler of serial killers, including fellow Seattle murders Ted Bundy, Gary Ridgeway, and dozens of others.

“Mr. Pennington’s consistently violent criminal behavior precludes any rational possibility of functioning in society. Permanent involuntary confinement without the possibility of parole is the only conceivable option.”

Mr. Pennington’s support for abortion goes well beyond his financial support. Several restraining orders have been issued against him for harassing pro-life advocates at their homes, protests, and even their offices. Mr. Pennington’s harassment of public pro-life protests has involved him both “mooning” and sexually exposing himself to groups of protesters, including children. The investigations and/or prosecutions of all of these incidents and charges have been blocked, sealed, and/or dismissed by the many judges and public officials whom he and his wife have directly or indirectly extorted and continue to extort.

Consistency indeed. John Pennington’s demonstrated position on a child’s right to life and protection has been equally consistent throughout his entire life. A serial rapist of very young children since he was a teenager, the cases of his rape of boys and girls span the country. After violently raping several children in his hometown of Nashville, Tennessee, he raped several boys at his church in San Diego. He then raped and attempted to murder a five-year-old girl in Cowlitz County, Washington. According to the lead detective in the case, Maurice Saxon, “John Pennington is the man who raped and tried to murder that little girl.”

After the child rapes in San Diego, he fled California. Relocating to Washington State, he found an uncontested seat in the Washington State Legislature, representing a sparsely populated community. Using his new position as a state legislator, he actively “socialized” at every possible venue with his fellow legislators. The socializing included countless “meetings” at several private and public “swingers” clubs that feature spouse swapping and every conceivable related activity. He then arranged private flights with lobbyists and legislators to Portland, Oregon to have sex with underage victims of child trafficking. With and without the knowledge of the legislators, he took pictures. Those pictures, together with those taken during his current wife’s politically targeted promiscuity at Mr. Pennington’s direction, has allowed the Penningtons to continuously blackmail judges and politicians. Those judges and politicians have, in turn, pressured lower ranking public officials to forego investigation and/or prosecution of countless of the Pennington’s crimes.

The Legislators who occupied office concurrently and “socialized” with Mr. Pennington, and/or who have been subject to his blackmail, include Washington State’s Attorney General, Bob Ferguson, Snohomish County Judges Eric Lucas and Joe Wilson, Court of Appeals Division One Justice Marlin Applewick, and Commissioner G. Geoffrey Gibbs, in addition to several other public officials. His extortion has resulted in those politicians and public officials erasing Mr. Pennington’s criminal history on the FBI’s NCIC criminal database, pressuring prosecutors to forego prosecution of dozens of crimes, including child rape, and one of the most visible, egregious, and extensive cases of negligent homicide in the history of the United States.

In one example of his ability to evade or defer justice, Mr. Pennington’s rape of the five-year-old girl in Cowlitz County, WA, was to be prosecuted by a Kelso City Prosecutor Michael Kenyon. Directly after Mr. Pennington assumed state office, however, “The rape kit for the investigation disappeared, several witnesses were never called, and the case never went to trial. Pennington was never even charged. Michael Kenyon directly aided and abetted Pennington, a violent serial child rapist, and went from his $43,000 a year job with Cowlitz County, WA to receiving millions of dollars in state government legal services contracts. Pennington went free. Is that a coincidence?” said a former Police Detective and private investigator. The little girl, who barely survived, got a lifetime of night terrors, according to her mother.

The most dramatic example of the power of Mr. Pennington’s blackmail is the fact that his negligent homicide of 43 people, homes, animals, and related economic impact of over two hundred million dollars was never prosecuted. “John Edward Pennington Jr. got his job as director of FEMA’s Region 10 through fraud, according to the Seattle Times. The story is covered by dozens of major media outlets across the world. He repeatedly lied to the press about his failure to disclose the slide risks to residents. And he’s fired for stealing FEMA money, but never prosecuted? How is it possible to get away with murder and federal fraud in broad daylight. In front of the entire world?” said a FEMA insider.

Roughly Half of the People in Washington State Killed by John Edward Pennington Jr.

When told of Mr. Pennington’s current employment in a $100,000+ position as the “Deputy Director of the Center for Arctic Security and Resilience” with the State of Alaska, referencing himself on the State website as “an internationally recognized emergency/disaster management and public policy professional,” the otherwise calm and professional FEMA insider responded with an extended series of expletives, followed by “Are you serious? Who in God’s name let this happen, and how on Earth is it remotely possible for this murdering child rapist con artist to get a job in government, again? This is insane.”

“Like I said, it’s about consistency,” concluded Mr. Pennington in relation to his tireless support of the right to end life, abruptly ending the interview, “I can’t stand hypocrites.”

SEATTLE’S EPSTEIN – PART THREE

December 20, 2021 by goldbarreporter Leave a Comment (Edit)

Sarah Palin Allegedly Referred “Extremely Dangerous Serial Criminals” for Jobs at “University of Alaska Fairbanks Administration and its Attorneys Look the Other Way”

the Gold Bar Reporter, reporting on Fairbanks Alaska

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Two people cited by a prominent Ninth Circuit Appellate Attorney as “Extremely dangerous serial criminals,” were allegedly referred by Sarah Palin for employment at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

The Gold Bar Reporter, reporting on Fairbanks Alaska “What we’re talking about here is a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde couple – but far worse,” said John Scannell, a nationally regarded attorney in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

The referenced couple, John Pennington, and his wife Crystal Hill Pennington (nee Berg), are nationally infamous for their crime sprees in Washington State and across the country over the course of decades.

The Pennington’s “criminal Katrina,” as insiders refer to their legacy and ongoing criminal activity, has and continues to occur at vast public expense. The cost of the Pennington’s rampage includes the negligent homicide of 43 people, the rape and attempted murder of a five-year-old girl in Cowlitz County, WA, and hundreds of millions of dollars in theft and damage to public and private property.

“Given how much evidence about the Pennington’s criminal activity is available with even a minimal background check – or for that matter that is publicly available on the internet with a couple of keystrokes – isn’t a larger question, ‘Who told University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) staff to bypass employment screening requirements to knowingly expose students to dangerous serial criminals, and Alaska taxpayers to massive financial liability?’” said the famous appellate attorney who is known to rarely charge fees for his high-profile public interest work.

The answer to the “who” question, according to allegations by UAF insiders, is Sarah Palin and friends. Ms. Palin has personally known the Penningtons for nearly 20 years, since 2003. “Insiders allege that John Pennington first met Sarah Palin when he was fundraising for George Bush in 2003, and she was in charge of Alaska’s piggy bank as Chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. Pennington used his fraudulently obtained position as Director of FEMA’s Region 10 – which includes Alaska – after submitting completely false credentials to get the job, to gain access to Palin,” said Journalist and Publisher Anne Block, J.D. “According to several sources, the Pennington’s went to great and constant efforts to ingratiate themselves to Palin because of her access to an ocean of Alaska’s money and her political and social connections to wealthy Republicans.”

After being terminated by FEMA in 2004 for theft of federal money, John Pennington fraudulently became a self-described “professor,” at Pierce College in Washington State. Ms. Block provided Pierce College’s Chancellor, Michelle Johnson, their Human Resources Department, Legal Department, and the College’s Board with extensive evidence of Pennington’s falsified credentials and criminal history. No action was taken. She then published a story on her blog with links to criminal evidence. Nothing happened. Ms. Block, a J.D., journalist, meticulous researcher, and highly effective public advocate for decades, was mystified. “I’ve never seen this,” she said. “I knew that there had to be a reason for Pennington’s apparent invincibility. And there certainly is.”

Although the administration and Board of Pierce College took no action after receiving hundreds of pages of evidence from Ms. Block, John Pennington then engaged in “extremely inappropriate behavior with both students and staff,” which finally resulted in his termination, according to a concerned member of Pierce College’s staff who contacted Ms. Block. The source also indicates that legal action against the college is now pending – precisely as Ms. Block had warned Pierce College’s administration and legal counsel would occur.

“The Pennington’s are walking tornados of human suffering, misery, and public financial liability,” said attorney Scannell. “The most basic question is, how are the Pennington’s getting away with all of this? People are automatically disqualified for government employment for any one of their crimes, and yet they have committed dozens of both state and federal crimes, year after year, all of which is publicly documented.”

The answer, as Journalist and Publisher Ms. Block has carefully documented and concluded after both filing hundreds of public records requests and receiving testimony from dozens of insiders, is extortion. By extorting highly placed public officials with compromising pictures of sex acts, including those with underage victims of human trafficking, allegedly including Washington State’s Attorney General, Bob Ferguson, Judge Marlin Applewick, Judge Michael Scott, and several other public officials, Mr. Pennington has been able to have both his prosecution suppressed and his criminal record erased. “This really is Seattle’s Epstein,” said Ms. Block.

Crystal Hill Pennington’s (Nee Berg) Crime Spree is

Spread Over Several States and a Term of Decades

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“Crystal Hill Pennington’s crimes are so vast and numerous, however, that even John Pennington’s extortion leverage isn’t powerful enough to clean up the metaphoric legal and criminal equivalent of the fallout from Chernobyl, Fukushima, and Three Mile Island combined,” according to Journalist Ms. Block. “Crystal Hill has unsuccessfully attempted to evade authorities and accountability through several relocations across the country and name changes; engaged in politically targeted serial promiscuity with dozens of highly placed public officials including former Washington State Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe and former Mayor Joe Beavers, many of whom contracted Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) from her – according to Ms. Hill Pennington’s own public emails; forged court documents; stole $200,000 from the City of Gold Bar; served time in prison as a three-time failure for fraud, and falsified countless job applications. Regardless of her extensive criminal history, Crystal Hill Pennington has mysteriously gained employment in $100,000+ per year government jobs – all while somehow evading background checks at every juncture,” said the award-winning reporter.

“This included a job with King County, Washington, until we filed public records requests and repeatedly proved that her employment application was completely falsified, at which point she was finally fired. Ms. Pennington then recently fled to Alaska, under the apparent belief that her serial criminal husband can once again extort and/or leverage jobs for both of them, which he has done,” stated Ms. Block.

“We have solved the mystery as to how both John and Crystal Pennington continue to operate their confidence game,” said Ms. Block. “John Pennington has been using both extortion leverage and calling in favors to get he and his wife Crystal Hill Pennington high paying public jobs, as well as to prevent people at those public agencies from performing background checks. This is exactly what is alleged to have happened with Sarah Palin and friends getting the Pennington’s jobs at UAF, with insiders knowingly looking the other way about their seemingly endless criminal histories. Let me be clear – these people have criminal records, with double jacket albums.”

“It will all come out in our investigation, in addition to the audits and investigations of several agencies we are filing with, by checking the call logs and emails of every public official involved, to determine who knew what, when, and yet allowed the Pennington’s state employment, regardless of all the evidence of criminal activity UAF administration had of both John and Crystal Pennington,” she stated. “We have filed public records requests on several public employees and are just getting started. None of us will stop until we find out which public officials, who are highly paid and trusted to protect public interest, have been aiding and abetting the continuation of their crime spree,” said Attorney Scannell. “By helping the Penningtons, every person involved has been, and is, committing state and federal crimes. UA Administration and even their counsel has looked the other way. Shouldn’t they be held accountable?”

“Crystal Hill Pennington is even trying to apply to the Alaska Bar for a law license, even though her academic ‘credentials’ are from an online ‘diploma mill,’ in Eastern Oregon and Mitchell Hamlin, which is automatically disqualified by the American Bar Association’s requirements for a valid law degree. And because of her criminal record, she is doubly disqualified from being a member of any state bar association. Ever,” Ms. Block emphatically stated.

Ms. Block is not the only journalist interested in the Penningtons, however. While major national and international media have become increasingly interested in the Gold Bar Reporter’s “Seattle’s Epstein” story over the past year, “more than ten” of the largest print and TV news venues in the nation have contacted Ms. Block and many of her witness informants within the past two weeks. “They are calling the story bigger than Epstein.”

“This story is gaining momentum with the mass and force of an Alaskan glacier, and the fury of an avalanche,” said Ms. Block.

“It looks like the careers of many Alaskan public officials are directly in its path.”

University of Alaska Fairbanks

Chancellor White Refuses to Fire

Serial Criminal John Edward Pennington

For the Gold Bar Reporter, reporting on Fairbanks Alaska

Chancellor White’s Refusal to Fire Known Serial Criminal John Pennington
“Exposes Students to Imminent Danger, The University to Massive Financial
Liability and Loss of Federal Accreditation,” According to a Legal Expert

Fairbanks, AK Oct. 20, 2021. “It just doesn’t make sense,” said the famous Ninth Circuit Appellate attorney John Scannell. “By refusing to fire John Pennington, the Chancellor is putting the life of every student at risk.”

“I want to be very clear on what the implications are of John Pennington’s presence at the University of Alaska,” said the tireless public interest litigator, who is nationally recognized for his pro bono advocacy of civil rights. “The Chancellor is exposing the students to imminent danger, the university to massive financial liability and loss of federal accreditation,” he said. “It’s that simple.”

“Isn’t the larger question, ‘How did John Edward Pennington Jr., a man with a false credentials, a history of negligent homicide of 43 people, federal credit card fraud, rape and attempted murder of a five year old child, serial child molestation, and extreme domestic violence get hired by the University of Alaska?’” said the federal attorney. “Shouldn’t the Chancellor be thoroughly investigated by the Board of Regents, the Office of Governor, the Legislature, the State Auditor, the Alaska Education Foundation, and the Education Trust of Alaska?” asked the highly regarded litigator.

The Publisher of the Gold Bar Reporter, who has collected thousands of pages of evidence over a decade, agrees. “This is Seattle’s Epstein,” said legal scholar Anne Block, J.D. “He has been blackmailing high-ranking politicians for years with compromising pictures involving underage victims of human trafficking. Public officials include Court of Appeals Justice Marlin Applewick, Senator John Lovick, and Snohomish County Commissioner G. Geoffrey Gibbs, who remains on the bench regardless of his prior conviction of fraud by the Washington Attorney General’s Office.

There is no way that John Pennington could be legitimately employed in any public interest capacity,” said the Journalist and Publisher. “Any background check would have revealed a lifetime of criminal activity,” she said.

“Every single email, every phone call, and every meeting of the Chancellor should be exhaustively examined to determine what political pressure or favoritism may have resulted in Pennington’s hiring and the refusal to terminate Pennington’s employment,” said Ms. Block.

“The Chancellor is risking the health and safety of the students,” she said. “The people of Alaska need to know why. Right now.”

This is Part Two of the series “Seattle’s Epstein,” which now focus on the investigation of Chancellor White.

TAMPERING WITH JUSTICE

Many Public Officials in Lloyd’s of London’s RICO Network are Convicted Criminals

Criminals’ Records in FBI National Crime Information Center Database Illegally Altered and Deleted

UPDATE Sept. 21, 2021. Openly corrupt attorney Amanda Froh is a central figure in the Washington State unit of Lloyd’s of London’s criminal RICO.

Froh routinely commits criminal acts on behalf of Attorney General Bob Ferguson, including tampering with public records requests and intentionally falsifying official statements for persons targeted for retaliation by the state – both state and federal crimes.

“The apple didn’t fall far from the tree,” said a Wenatchee attorney about Froh. “Her father, Thomas Warren, a former judge in Central Washington, was repeatedly reprimanded by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct for nearly a dozen counts of serious ethics violations,” she said. “Warren was known to be openly racist, profane, and intoxicated with power. He was a tyrant. Just like his daughter, Amanda Froh.” Warren was also well known to pay lip service to due process while denying access to justice to pro se litigants.

Froh, is in fact, an integral part of a massive criminal RICO, a component of which is involved in the theft of hundreds of millions in guardianship and estate fraud. As with many members of the Washington State RICO who assume public office, Amanda Froh is hiding in plain sight. RICO members, like other criminals, don’t advertise their criminal activity, they assume positions of trust.

Everyone knows that child molesters become priests, Boy Scout leaders and schoolteachers. Sadists prey on the vulnerable – they become jail guards, judges, lawyers, cops, counselors, therapists, or work in nursing homes and hospitals. And RICO members like Amanda Froh become prosecutors, public attorneys, records officers, judges, and other positions of public trust – all to further their RICO. Froh is no different than any other major RICO criminal in public office.

When acting as a prosecutor of “elder abuse,” Froh was able to appear to be doing her job by targeting individuals who were not part of the organized RICO. In reality, however, Amanda Froh is a critical member of the Washington State RICO for two important reasons:

First, Amanda Froh failed to prosecute any major guardianship and estate fraud involving her RICO collaborators, regardless of the thousands of pages of evidence presented to her office.

Second, in addition to the damage caused by Froh as a result of her knowing inaction against her RICO collaborators, as a former prosecutor with a close continuing working relationship with the RICOs’ prosecutors and judges, she illegally packages fraudulent cases against innocent people targeted for retaliation by the RICO. Froh’s knowing acts on behalf of the RICO also make possible extensive money laundering and federal tax evasion involving hundreds of millions of dollars.

Is there any criminal worse than one who wears the trappings and enjoys the prestige of public office, is highly paid from public taxes, and is entrusted with the literal power of life and death while actually furthering a criminal enterprise for personal gain? Compared to Amanda Froh, doesn’t even a bank robber look like a champion of justice? Isn’t she the ultimate con artist, pretending to represent public interest and the last line of defense, while doing more damage to society than any inner-city gang?

It is difficult to overstate the human devastation Froh’s deliberate failure to act against the guardianship fraud her RICO members has caused. Entire families’ estates stolen. Hard working people stripped of their legal rights, every penny, and forced into illegal guardianships with substandard care. Families destroyed. Suicides. And Amanda Froh looks the other way, both for personal gain and to aid the Washington State RICO that she occupies a central role in furthering. According to the law, Froh’s role in the RICO has legally ended, however.

Brady v. Maryland established that police officers who impede due process rights are permanently disqualified to be further employed in any law enforcement capacity. Having committed multiple counts of intentional fraudulent misrepresentation to deny due process, under the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution which provides equal protection, Froh is now a “Brady Lawyer,” and may not again be lawfully employed as a government prosecutor or lawyer in any capacity.

A former colleague of Froh – a forensic accountant – said “Without accountability, there can’t be trust. Without trust, you can’t have society.” He’s right. That’s why the Gold Bar Reporter will be holding Amanda Froh accountable, regardless of how much time, effort, or cost is required. Froh has used her position and public trust to further a RICO enterprise, and is a disgrace to public office.

While Amanda Froh’s role in the RICO may soon end, her responsibility for her criminal acts will not. In addition to the efforts of the Gold Bar Reporter, because of how we index, metatag, mirror, collocate, offshore, and archive our articles, for at least the next 1000 years the entire world will know who Amana Froh is. Just as the Framers of the Constitution and the First Amendment intended – but amplified by the internet far beyond their dreams.

As always, we have extensive and detailed documented evidence. We will continue to update this article and add links to a small sample of the direct evidence of Froh’s criminal activities in the near future.

SEPT. 21, 2021. FOLLOW UP TO THE FROH SEGMENT OF “TAMPERING WITH JUSTICE”

Directly after the publication of this article, Amanda Froh and her RICO associates attempted but failed – again – to intimidate and harass legally recognized journalists at the Gold Bar Reporter by seeking to place an illegal involuntary 72-hour mental health hold on a GBR reporter without legal cause; find damaging information from universities GBR journalists are graduates of, in addition to several other criminal acts according to allegations of insider informants. The actions of Froh and her RICO associates underscores their demonstrated belief that they may ignore the Constitution, are immune from the law, and may violate their sworn duty as public officials. As always, their criminal retaliatory actions have again not only failed but have served to redouble our conviction and efforts to bring the RICO members to justice. Amanda Froh is now a central subject of the RICO series being published by the national and international multimedia press over the coming months.

SEPT. 6, 2021. FOLLOW UP TO THE FROH SEGMENT OF “TAMPERING WITH JUSTICE

Attorney in ‘Good Standing‘, Harold Goldes, a convicted drug offender and an employee of the Washington State Attorney General’s Office otherwise known as Department of Enterprise Service, was Placed by Lloyd’s of London’s Washington State’s RICO Unit as a Washington State Public Records Officer. Contrary to Public Records laws, Mr. Goldes Routinely Destroys, Ignores, or Illegally Redacts Public Records in a Concerted Effort to Deny Targeted Persons Their Constitutional Right to Due Process Under Federal and State Law. Mr. Goldes Works at the Direction of State Attorney General Bob Ferguson.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

One more piece of Lloyd’s of London’s massive criminal fraud machine is now deconstructed. But first, a brief review of where things are.

The contributors to the Gold Bar Reporter (GBR), together with our supporters in legal academia and law practice, all await the inevitable tsunami of national and international press coverage of Lloyd’s of London’s global RICO over the next few months. Press luminaries assert it is the story of the century.

Yet in a textbook case of cognitive dissonance, Lloyd’s and their Washington State RICO Co-Directors Peter King, CEO of the Association of Washington Cities, and also soon-to-be-unemployed RICO Co-Director Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson, seem to bury their heads in the sand in the hope that federal law enforcement will ignore their countless federal crimes.

Meanwhile, the GBR and our rapidly growing network continue to unravel ever more elements of Lloyd’s vast global fraud and those who participate in it. One critical cog in the RICO machine is how Lloyd’s is able to get so many people to commit crimes. Now we know – they systematically hire criminals.

But Lloyd’s RICO network does not hire just any criminals. They hire convicted criminal attorneys like Harold Goldes. Disgraced public officials. Drug dealers. Crooked ‘Brady’ cops. Thieves. Fraudsters. Violent rapists. Child molesters. And at least one “person of interest” in a series of missing children cases, John Edward Pennington Jr., who also negligently killed 43 people.

How does one hire an army of criminals and put them in key positions of government – including government contracted lawyers and judicial positions? By finding criminals who are usually from outside the area where they are given jobs. Then deleting their criminal histories from the federal FBI NCIC database.

If you operate a criminal enterprise such as Lloyd’s, of course you want to hire criminals – compromised people may be leveraged. A debate about the ethics of what they are told to do would be unlikely. As would be the limits of the crimes RICO recruits are willing to commit. The way they are leveraged is with both a carrot and a stick.

The stick, of course, being an implied or stated threat of the removal of their professional license, exposure of their crimes, restoring their criminal record on the federal FBI NCIC system, or ending the mountain of money, benefits, social status, and retirement pay. The carrot? Ever more state money and promotions.

How is the Lloyd’s network able to alter, delete, or create false criminal histories in the federal NCIC database? Two ways: First, Lloyd’s is owned by the U.K. government, and has given Lloyd’s access to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) databases. MOD is linked to INTERPOL and U.S. federal databases.

The second way that the Lloyd’s RICO network alters the NCIC database is with its Washington State affiliates. Affiliates include both staff members of RICO Co-Director Bob Ferguson’s office of the AG, and contract attorneys called “Special Assistant Attorney Generals (SAAGs)” like Shannon Ragonasi and King County Superior Court Judge Michael Scott.

Both the AG staff and contract SAAG attorneys are given access codes by the AG to alter or delete criminal records in the federal NCIC database, and to create false criminal histories for people targeted for financial or political reasons. As always, we have the documentation from insiders and our own research.

In Snohomish County Washington, Sheriff Adam Fortney, unlawfully gave access to the FBI NCIC database to the contract law firm of Zachor Thomas. Some of our readers may remember Zachor Thomas as a key subject of ProPublica’s story “ An Unbelievable Story of Rape” documented the law firm of Zachor Thomas harassment and malicious prosecution of a young woman was charged with the crime of filing a false criminal complaint AFTER SHE WAS RAPED – regardless of objectively verifiable medical evidence. Not one single police officer from the City of Lynnwood Washington who, with the assistance of Zachor Thomas, falsely CRIMINALLY charged her with filing a frivolous complaint, were ever disciplined or fired. Lloyds of London paid the victim a pittance only after extensive litigation. Netflix ran a mini-serious regarding Zachor Thomas’s crimes against the rape victim. ProPublica won a Pulitzer for its coverage of what is considered one of the worst cases of injustice in the history of Washington State. Again, not one public official or lawyer at Zachor Thomas has yet been brought to justice.

Why has the federal government not arrested them all? Have faith. Reporters from the world of insurance industry journalism are in regular contact with the GBR and believe the series on Lloyd’s RICO will result in liability exposure of at least tens of billions and dissolve Lloyd’s and their syndicates. And many arrests.

The history of business proves that no one is too big to fail.

Lloyd’s is next, say the experts.

Six Seattle Police Officers who Participated in Attempting to Overthrow the will of the voters, still remain on Seattle’s welfare system

On January 2, 2021, six Seattle Police Officers participated in violent protests, most were Pro Trump White Supremacists’. Purpose was to overthrow the US Congress. Permit 21-0274 granted a permit to Pro-Trump Protesters the right to march on the National Mall In Washington D.C., but the Permit did not grant anyone the right to storm, siege the US Capital, threaten, kill or harm police officers, or even breach the concrete barriers surrounding the US Capital.

But that’s exactly what Pro Trump Rally supporters did on January 6, 2021. What would the outcome be if Black Lives Matter protestors, who were African American Seattle Police Officers, committed the same treasonous acts against our government? Would those same police officers still have a job?

Since the Pro Trump Rally, 500 plus people have been arrested for illegally breaching the terms of the Permit 21-0274. Peaceful protests pursuant to the First Amendment is what makes a America great. But destroying public property and assaulting police officers is far from protected first amendment activity. Approximately 500 people have been arrested, ranging from arrests for destruction of public property to assaulting police officers. Many Pro Trumpsters were out right vulgar, one even defecated on Senator Pelosi’s desk, and in our opinion amounted to treason.

The Guardian US reported on how white supremist who closely align themselves with Adolf Hitler like tactics supported by Donald Trump and many of his followers have infiltrated our police departments nationwide. US Federal District Court Judge Robart recognized the problem specifically in the City of Seattle police department by issuing a consent decree after the City of Seattle police officers stalked and harassed minorities while on patrol.

Judge Robart’s consent decree has been in effect since 2012. Robart said ” I am hearing a lot of words. But I don’t measure progress by words. I measure it by action.” Since 2012 when Robart’s court began monitoring civil rights violations committed with several City of Seattle police officers, his order has had little effect in riding our communities of Brady Cops and White Supremacists inside police departments.

This brings us to the lead story on six Seattle Police Officers who area alleged to have “breached” the terms of the Pro Trump Rally Permit on January 6, 2021, when they entered the US Capital Building which was surrounded by concrete barriers.

About one month ago, DIVESTSPD released the names of all six Seattle police officers. After receiving responses to public records requests for all six police officers from the City of Seattle stating that they cannot release the employee files for Seattle Officers Scott Bach, Shaub Briskey, Jacob Briskey, Caitlan Rochelle, Alexzander Everett, Jason Marchoine, and Michael Settle, we feel confident that DIVEST SPD’s report on the names of the six police officers is correct, and the Gold Bar Reporter’s editorial Board decided to publish.

The Gold Bar Reporter requested the followers records for all Seattle police officers,

Pursuant to RCW 42.56, please provide me with all cell phones records for Scott Bach. Specifically, I am asking for is all bills with call logs from the actual cell phone company for any cell phone Scott Bach, Shaub Briskey, Jacob Briskey, Jason Marchione, and Michael Settle, used from November 1, 2020 to March 1, 2021.

AND

All text messages sent to or by any of the officers above during the same time frame.

The City of Seattle’s response was,

The purpose of this communication is to provide a status update regarding your request.

The Seattle Police Department needs additional time to respond to your request due to the following:

The requested records continue to be the subject of ongoing litigation and there is currently still a Court Order in place barring their release. The Court Order preventing release of the requested records has been extended while the appeal is ongoing. The Court of Appeals case number is 82430-9-I.

For that reason, at this time, we anticipate having a response or a status update to you on or about 8/20/2021.

Thank you,
Tara Collings

To the City of Settle to unlawfully claim that releasing cell phone bills of any police officer violate any court order as the court order only stated that the City could not release the names of any officers. What happens when the names are already public? We can tell you that a lawsuit will be filed against the City of Seattle for violating our rights to access public records.

Just as the Washington Post published the Pentagon Papers, the names of six Seattle Officers, who four out of the six are Brady Cops, are not private so long as they remain on the taxpayers payroll or as we say ” the City of Seattle’s welfare system.”

OPENLY CORRUPT PRIVATE AND PUBLIC ATTORNEYS REPRESENTING THE STATE OF WASHINGTON ON BEHALF OF A PRIVATE ASSOCIATION, NOT JUST ACTING AS LITIGATORS, THEY ARE NOW AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE FRAUD ACCORDING TO LAW PROFESSORS

As Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson and Association of Washington Cities CEO Peter King’s Lloyd’s of London affiliated snowball of fraud quickly becomes an avalanche landing at the foot of the 9^th Circuit and the press in Block v. WSBA, our case is taking an interesting and unexpected turn.

Interest by both the media and legal academics has been non-stop since our article “Seattle’s Epstein.” While we expected this to occur eventually, what we didn’t expect is the attention of the press and academic community to include federal judges, the Ninth Circuit Court, and both public and private attorneys as central elements of the story.

The increasing attention on the judges and the Ninth Circuit was referenced in our last update of May 12, 2021. What is new since that update are consistent comments by several law professors and law journalists that both public and private attorneys have clearly crossed the line from representing a RICO enterprise to being participants in the RICO enterprise.

In knowingly violating the law and knowingly representing both state and private clients actively operating a RICO, the openly corrupt attorneys are not only subject to personal liability and loss of their licenses to practice, but they are also subject to criminal penalties according to the academics. There are four main reasons why they have crossed the line, they indicate:

1) The State Constitution. Article VIII Section 7 stipulates that the state cannot give or loan money to a private association, which the Washington State Supreme Court defined the Washington State Bar as on February 12, 2021. The state has illegally spent tens of millions of dollars to provide free counsel for the bar.

2) The Federal Constitution. The Fifth Amendment of the Federal Constitution stipulates the right of due process. After being ordered by the Federal District Court to file no further actions in Block v. WSBA, The defense attorneys are illegally filing motions for the purpose of denial of due process, and are in violation of Section 1983 of the Civil Rights Act by acting under color of law.

3) The Court Record. Each and every attorney has read the court record and is aware of how the Lloyd’s /Washington State RICO controlled by Bob Ferguson and Peter King of the Association of Washington Cities operates.

4) Duties Resulting from Knowledge of Criminal Activity. The implication of this knowledge is that every attorney has a duty under RPC 1.6 “to prevent the client from committing a crime or fraud that is reasonably certain to result in substantial injury to the financial interests or property of another and in furtherance of which the client has used or is using the lawyer’s services.” Further the lawyer must then reveal information to “prevent, mitigate or rectify” that injury. Rule 1.2 prohibits a lawyer from counseling or assisting the client in conduct the lawyer knows is criminal or fraudulent. Rule 1.4 requires a lawyer to disclose material facts to avoid assisting a client’s crime or fraud,” based on the State Supreme Court’s Hamilton decision. Rule 3.3 requires a lawyer representing a client in an adjudicative proceeding who “knows that a person intends to engage in, is engaging in or has engaged in criminal or fraudulent conduct related to the proceeding” to “take reasonable remedial measures, including, if necessary, disclosure to the tribunal.” And finally, Rule 8.3 directs a lawyer who knows that another lawyer or a judge has engaged in misconduct raising a “substantial question” about honesty or fitness to inform an “appropriate authority.” The Supreme Court established that attorney-client confidentiality is not applicable where there is knowledge of criminal conduct. Several federal court rules are in violation as well, which we shall cite shortly.

Bottom line: no matter what their openly corrupt bosses like Leslie Seffren, who is currently under investigation for decades of guardianship fraud, child trafficking for insiders from Washington State including King County Superior Court Judge Johanna Bender and her girlfriend were able to steal a child with the help of the AG’s Office.

Can the openly corrupt attorneys acting to further the Lloyd’s/Washington State RICO, such as Allan Copsey, Noah Purcell, Anne Egeler, Kera Heintz, Megan Lin, Cassie Castillo, and Leslie Seffren who appear to be relying on their corrupt network to fix cases and to control the press?

We shall see soon enough!

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Lloyds of London, criminal racketeering, assisted by Washington State’s Attorney General, exposed in public records

Leslie Seffren, the openly corrupt lead counsel for a Washington State/Lloyd’s of London affiliated national Racketeering Enterprise (RICO), is illegally directing millions of dollars of state funds and 15 attorneys to provide legal representation for a court-defined private agency, the Washington State Bar Association (WSBA), in Block v WSBA, now pending before the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.

In violation of state ethics law RCW 42.52.03, Leslie Seffren owns and operates the real estate development firm, CLP Development In c., while receiving a paycheck from the Washington State Attorney General’s Office. An extensive investigation is in process of her alleged collusion in dozens of guardianship fraud and child trafficking cases over decades when she was employed by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services. According to a source, the investigation also includes allegations that Ms. Seffren has also been involved in millions of dollars of money laundering and tax evasion in relation to the guardianship fraud and child trafficking.

CORRUPT ATTORNEYS LED BY “SPECIAL ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL” LESLIE SEFREN CONTINUE TO FILE DOCUMENTS BLOCK V. WSBA BEFORE THE 9th CIRCUIT WITH NO LEGAL STANDING! MEDIA INTEREST NOW FOCUSED ON BOTH FEDERAL DISTRICT JUDGES AND THE NINTH CIRCUIT!

Regardless of national and international media inquiries as the RICO members are now aware, regardless of the imminent global news coverage of our cases and Lloyd’s RICO, regardless of thousands of pages of evidence of state and federal crimes by public officials including judges that will be linked to the news stories, the openly corrupt attorneys representing the Washington Bar and the judiciary are becoming increasingly obvious and brazen in furthering the Lloyd’s/Washington State RICO co-directed by Bob Ferguson and Peter King.

The implication of the open corruption for both legal academics and the international media is: “why is the Ninth Circuit letting this happen?” Indeed, the focus of one entire aspect of the story of Lloyd’s RICO operating in Washington State is now shifting focus on to the Ninth Circuit. The questions are the same from every law professor and every journalist: “how is it possible that the Ninth Circuit is allowing openly corrupt attorneys who have been ordered by Federal District Court to cease and desist from further filings, who have no standing in a case continue to illegally file motions contrary to a federal court order?”

It is a good question, and it is a question that demands clear and rationally based answers. It looks like the Ninth Circuit is now becoming part of the story. It is a story that has been in development for the past two years. Initially the challenge for the media was the complexity of the story, as well as Trump and COVID-19 dominating the news. No more.

We are very pleased that the story is referred to by mainstream national and international media as the single biggest ongoing news story in the national for years to come – “The other Washington’s Watergate” as they say!

GAME OVER!!!

Seattle, WA USA April 26, 2021. The Gold Bar Reporter is pleased to announce national multimedia press coverage of our work, including in-depth mainstream media reporting on our recent cases in the Ninth Circuit with links to all court documents.

For the first time in 13 years, the public corruption discovered by the Gold Bar Reporter will be the subject of national and international news. The series exposes the tens of millions of dollars of Washington State taxpayer dollars spent by the state in increasingly desperate efforts and legal chicanery to deny our right to due process – and to conceal the RICO directed by Lloyd’s of London.

Dozens of prominent law school professors across the country continue to closely follow our cases. We gratefully acknowledge their generous support, encouragement, and introductions to major media. Without it, we would have been far less likely to gain the interest of several members of the press to help us continue to assert our right to legitimate due process and expose a massive RICO network.

Here in Washington State, Lloyds of London syndicates, insure the judges, the public defenders, the Washington State Bar Association, the Washington State agency employees, the private law firms that defend agency employees, WA Judicial Ethics Commission, the Washington State Auditor, Washington State’s Police Union, the Washington State Supreme Court and the WA Court of Appeals, and non-profit government owned and operated groups like Dawson Place and Victim Support Services.

By pooling the judicial officers together, Lloyds of London syndicates like Association of Washington Counties and Cities can assure convictions and cover up liability

Evidence Suggests that David Sansom, Chief Risk Officer of Lloyd’s of London Co-Directs One of the Largest Criminal Enterprises in History

The series features senior management of Lloyds, both in the U.S. and the U.K., including John Neal, CEO, David Sansom, Chief Risk Officer and Peter Spires, General Counsel; U.S. Head of Claims Carey Bond; Peter King of AWC; Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson; Federal Judges including Ricardo aka ‘RICO’ Salazar Martinez, Richard Jones, and more than a dozen other openly corrupt state judges.

Evidence Suggests that Peter Spires, General Counsel of Lloyd’s of London, a Direct Participant in One of the Largest Criminal Enterprises in History

Over the past 13 years, the Gold Bar Reporter – with dozens of others targeted by the RICO jointly operated by Lloyd’s of London, AWC and the Washington State AG – have worked tirelessly to assert our right to live under the rule of law. We have filed hundreds of public records requests, most of which have been illegally redacted, denied, destroyed, or altered.

All of us have paid a high price for our efforts to oppose public corruption. We have seen friends illegally lose homes, income, Bar licenses, professionals made homeless, the denial of our most basic Constitutional rights, our reputations and futures damaged or destroyed, suicides, untimely deaths, families and relationships ruined, children taken, and false accusations and imprisonment.

All in retaliation for our individual and collective efforts to assert our right to due process. All in the name of greed by people entrusted with public office, intoxicated with power and empowered by their false conviction in their invincibility. Our only crime: to expose openly corrupt public officials who take great offense at anyone challenging their perceived fiefdoms.

This fraud has been operated by a relatively small number of corrupt public officials including judges, whose greed and arrogance exposed the global fraud operated by Lloyd’s of London and its associates. The considerable length of time that it took us to expose the fraud relates to its complexity. For the first several years, we had no idea of the existence and scope of the fraud, what the network consisted of, and who was hiding behind the curtain. The individual pieces didn’t make sense, and seemed like “conspiracy theories.” As a result of constant effort, this is no longer the case.

We gradually pieced together the evidence, posting it on the GBR. People began to tell us their individual experiences as targets of the RICO. The same public officials’ names continued to appear. We filed more public records requests. Insiders came forward after witnessing their ‘public servant’ coworkers and bosses destroying innocent lives and laughing about it. They gave us inside evidence – documentation and more names. From that information, we were able to file more records requests until a clear picture emerged as to how the RICO works.

Before deconstructing the RICO, the story was hard to explain to others, and the pieces of it that we did understand were seen by those who had not been directly effected as – literally – unbelievable. After dozens of phone calls and hundreds of emails to local and regional press, only tiny pieces of the puzzle were reported on, regardless of the documentation we presented. Just two years ago, several of us began to reach out to the national press. Again, after countless calls and emails, regardless of the documentation we presented, we seemed to be getting little interest.

We were wrong. As the RICO members are now aware, several members of the national and international press have been piecing their stories together. They began to collaborate and share notes. Then our story, “Seattle’s Epstein” broke, and dozens of national and international journalists have been reviewing our evidence non-stop for the past six months. They have been interviewing us, and we have been providing them with witnesses willing to go on the record as well as new and unpublished documentation provided by insiders.

The RICO members are beginning to run. They are holding emergency meetings across the state, the nation, and the U.K. They are quitting their jobs, selling properties, moving their money, and desperately trying to destroy evidence and intimidate witnesses, all of which is now futile. In their arrogance, they have left a massive trail of evidence. The story and the facts now have a life of their own, as the avalanche of evidence is about to be published around the world. The game is over.

We want to thank all of the courageous insiders who have risked their jobs and their careers to provide us with invaluable evidence. While most people talk about peace, love and justice and engage in endless handwringing, the insiders practiced their beliefs. “All that is necessary for evil to exist is for good people to do nothing.” The insiders did something – in a big way that will change the world for the better.

We are grateful to the dozens of people in the legal academic community for ongoing advice and encouragement, and as mentioned, the many introductions to major press and wire services. Without that support, we would likely not – finally – be collaboratively exposing the RICO to a global readership.

And we are grateful for the sacrifices made by the Framers of our Constitution, who gave us the framework of solutions for what they saw as the most basic challenge to the human experience – the tendency of people to abuse power. Ironically, to address the tyranny of the British who denied us the right to live under the rule of law.

The framework of the Constitution consists of two basic parts: proactive and ‘postmortem’ solutions. As we all know, the proactive solutions – the separation of powers – attempts to create checks and balances between the branches.

But the Framers knew that corruption would still exist. That people in government would sometimes fail us. This is why they created the ‘postmortem’ solutions – essentially, the right to publicly expose corruption when all else failed.

The postmortem solutions are our most important rights: the right of free assembly as we see with the George Floyd and related cases, the right of free speech, and the right of free press. All tools that the Constitution provides us to expose public corruption.

They are tools and remedies that the public, including every person concerned with the root issues of injustice, may now use to focus on Lloyd’s of London as the root cause of public corruption.

The press coverage will redirect the public’s attention from the symptoms of the problem, including police, prosecutorial, and judicial misconduct, to the way Lloyd’s and its RICO members have rigged the legal system in the United States and allowed the abuse of power to occur.

Specifically, the public’s attention will be focused on the individuals who have been operating the RICO, who they are, what they have done, and how they have done it. It is presumed that every remedy the Framers have provided, public assembly, free speech and free press will be focused on those individuals until they are brought to justice.

And it is about to work in this case, according to our new friends in the international media. Even our adversaries, the RICO members, should be pleased: their progeny will have the right to live under the rule of law.

All thanks to our fourth branch of government, the ‘Fourth Estate.’

Keating, Bucklin, McCormack, Inc., P.S, fraud, forgery, false filings, perjury, racketeering, and constructively disbarred from NY State and admitted to practice law in Washington State

Attorney Shannon Ragonesi, an attorney at Keating, Bucklin & McCormack, Inc., P.S, was constructively disbarred from the State of New York (NY). In New York, unlike Washington State Bar Association, is operated by NY State’s Board of Examiners, a state licensing agency. With no surprise, Ms. Ragonesi was a dear friend of Attorney General Bob Ferguson while they both attended NY Law School; and both participated in the helping the Catholic Church cover up hundreds of sexual abuse cases here in the Pacific Northwest.

When a complainant files a bar complaint in NY State, the lawyer is giving a copy of the complaint and a copy is filed with the State of NY’s Judiciary Here in Washington State, when a person files a Washington State Bar Association complaint, such complaints are filed with an alleged private association.

Using the word “alleged” means “not proven.” In the case of the Washington State Bar Association, we discovered many important “agency” features through various public records requests to the Washington State Attorney General’s Office, (1) the Washington Attorney General is illegally running the private Washington State Bar Association’s Continuing Legal Education classes,, (2) the Washington Attorney General is illegally hosting the Washington State Bar Association’s email server, (3) the Washington Attorney General is illegally providing free rent to the Washington State Bar Association at two publicly owned buildings, one in Olympia and one in Seattle on 4th Ave, (4) the Washington Attorney General is illegally funneling millions of public money to several law firms that defend the Washington State Bar Association such as Pacifica Law Group, Keating Buckling and McCormack ( and NY disbarred attorney Shannon Ragonesi), Kenyon Disend PLLC, and Gordon Rees, (5) illegally using the AG’s the Department of Enterprise Services to provide legal services to the Washington State Bar Association, and (6) the Washington State Bar Association is stealing public money from the Washington State Public Retirement System (PERS). Even US Federal District Court Judges like Ricardo Martinez and Richard A Jones are collecting a state retirement check from the taxpayers of Washington State via our PERs program.

If the Washington State Bar Association is not a public agency, then why are the taxpayers of Washington State allowing Washington State Bar employees Doug Ende, Kara Ralph, Felice Congalton, Scott Busby, and Allison Sato collecting a state taxpayer paid retirement? Is this a welfare program given to alleged private associations such as the Washington State Bar Association?

Shannon Ragonesi, after being constructively disbarred from NY State, she called a good friend of hers here in Washington State, Bob Ferguson, who personally authorized Shannon Ragonesi to commit the same crimes against taxpayers as she did in NY State. Ms. Ragonesi’s crimes include false court filings, perjury, harassment of public records requesters, forgery, fraud, theft of public money including Paycheck Protection Program funds, and defamation. But she had a lot of help from other Special Assistant Attorney Generals like King County Superior Court and SAAG Judges such as Michael Scott ( Hillis Clarke, Martin and Peterson), Jim Rogers (SAAG Fox Rothchilds), Julie Spector (SAAG Lane & Powell), and Joseph Genster ( SAAG Hillis Clarke, Martin & Peterson).

Here’s the Washington State Attorney General’s Office case fixing scam works. SAAGs like disbarred NY State Attorney Shannon Ragonesi are paid millions via a fraudulent scam titled the Special Attorney General contracts. Here in Washington State our Constitution limits the Attorney General to only two functions, Consumer Protection and Elderly abuse. Other than hose two powers, our State Constitution strictly prohibits the Attorney General from policing for any other issues. Therefore, any spending for so called SAAG programs, according to our legal counsel is “fraud” and meets the level of dishonest services to implicate racketeering charges according to our legal counsel.

The Washington State Attorney General makes all judicial appointments. Since Bob Ferguson has been in office, the only judicial appointments that Governor Jay Inslee has made are SAAGs or agency employees. Sadly, the Governor simply rubber stamps the request regardless of whether or not there have been any unethical charges lodged against the appointees like there has been against Judge Michael Scott ( sex abuse allegations).

Since Governor Inslee has been in office, we could find only one judicial appointment in the whole state that was not financially benefiting from a SAAG on contract with the Washington State Attorney General’s Office to provide a legal defense to public agencies. This means when a person is charged with a crime, or perhaps brings a lawsuit for access to public records, the agency, as was the case in Gold Bar Washington, is defended 100 % by the Washington State Attorney General’s contractors also known as SAAGs, and Judges like Michael Scott ( King County), Marybeth Dingledy (former employee of King County Prosecutors Office and the City of Everett), Bruce Weiss (labeled a SAAG by AG’s list), Cindy Larsen (labeled a SAAG by AG’s list),, Julie Spector (SAAG law firm at Lane & Powell), and Jim Rogers ( King County SAAG while employed at Fox Rothchild) hear and decide your case. This in spite of the fact that the Washington Court of Appeals Div. I held in Ann Gonzales v WA State that a SAAG attorney cannot be have a SAAG Judge hear and decide any part of their case, or in the words of the Gonzales Court, the right to a fair and impartial judge is constitutional right . . . if a judge was a SAAG, and the Defense counsel was SAAG, disclosure isn’t enough, a judge must recuse themselves from the cases.”

If having a SAAG Judge hearing and deciding cases involving other attorneys such as SAAG law firms like Keating, Buckling and McCormack, or worse, US Federal District Court Judge Richard Jones, Ronald Leighton, Benjamin Settles, and Ricardo Martinez ( all SAAGs while employed with WA State), is this not case fixing at the highest level in the state? In Block v WSBA et al ,S Federal District Court Judge Ricardo Martinez, and local Snohomish County District Court Judge Douglas Fair, we obtained telephone records from SAAG attorney, Special Snohomish County Deputy Prosecutor at Hillis Clarke, Martin & Peterson confirming beyond any doubt that Snohomish County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney (SAP/SAAG) Joseph Genster openly engaged in exparte communication via public telephone records with judges.

In Block v Gold Bar, SAAG/SAP Shannon Ragonesi openly brags of her case fixing scam using King County Superior Court Judge ( also a SAAG at Hillis Clarke Martin & Peterson) Michael Scott to criminally harass public requesters from filing lawsuits for access to public records. A case the US Court of Appeals 9th Circuit just agreed hear argument in in Block v WSBA et al, and answer whether a federal judge, who was a SAAG, as US Federal Court Judge Ricardo Martinez, Benjamin Settles, Ronald Leighton, and Richard A Jones were while employed under Washington State’s Risk Management scam, hear and decide cases when SAAGs Gordon Rees, Leslie Seffren and Shannon Ragonesi are representing the defendants?

According to our legal counsel, under Ann Gonzales v Washington State, our state courts have already held that a SAAG Judge cannot hear nor sit on a case when any litigant is being represented by another SAAG like Ragonesi ( Keating, Buckling and McCormack), and that recusal was mandatory to preserve a litigant’s constitutional right to a fair and impartial judge. Common sense tell us that one does not need a law degree to understand that a judge who had pecuniary relationships with defendants counsel cannot hear and decide cases involving their contractors.

Sadly, NY State Bar allowed Shannon Ragonesi to resign instead of officially being disbarred for forgery, false filings, and perjury. Now, thanks to Washington State AG Bob Ferguson, Washingtonians are experiencing the same threats to life, liberty and property, forgery, false court statements and filings, and harassment from SAAG Ms. Ragonesi that NY residents experienced that caused the NY Bar to restrict her from ever practicing law in NY State.

Gold Bar’s Mayor William Clem said when speaking of the Washington State Attorney Generals Office said ” those people who are threatening you Anne are now threatening me.”

Here in Washington State, we have convicted criminals running our risk management system all the way from Jolly Ol England.

Comment from our reader:

This law firm is as fraudulent as they come. They tried to sue me for thousands of dollars for pictures used on my web site. All of my pictures were either purchased on-line from “Clip-Art” or were taken with my own camera. They put me thru “HELL” with their ” letters of intimidation”. The case was finally dropped. They should all be jailed for the rest of their lives.

Claims of “Nigerian Fraud” Questioned as Cause of Record Losses

Part Two of Five – By The Gold Bar Reporter

Former Washington State Employment Security Commissioner LeVine (R) is Responsible For the Largest Loss from Fraud in her State’s History. She is Alleged to Have Actively Engaged in a Coverup of Massive Internal Fraud and Negligence.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is image.png

Seattle, Washington State Feb. 12, 2021. When Sage Wilson of Working Washington heard former State Employment Security (ESD) Department Commissioner LeVine – and current National Employment Security appointee – quote a $650 million dollar loss from ‘Nigerian’ fraud while claiming not to know how many claims the losses related to, the red flags went up.

“How can anyone give a loss figure without knowing the number of claims involved? Something’s really wrong here,” he said. Other state’s employment security departments that have released dollar figures from fraud, in fact, have also released the number of associated false claims. “How can you know one without the other?” asked a prominent employment lawyer. “Isn’t it just simple math?”

The highly regarded Ninth Circuit public interest attorney John Scannell has his own equation: “If former Commissioner LeVine had no idea what numbers were associated with the losses, how on earth did she immediately conclude that it was ‘Nigerian Fraud’?” he said. “Add that fact to LeVine’s obstruction of the Washington State Auditor’s staff. Doesn’t that equal probable cause of internal fraud?” he added.

Like the number of unresolved unemployment claims, the chorus of voices that had called for Ms. LeVine’s resignation had been escalating at the same rate as the current questions of her qualifications being asked regarding her pending federal appointment. “We’re talking about a person who is a patronage appointment with absolutely zero qualifications, and who has demonstrated total incompetence. The people who are some of our most vulnerable in Washington state have paid a high price for obvious political patronage – should the entire nation?” said Mr. Scannell.

“It’s just inconceivable that a demonstrably incompetent employment security director in history, who lied to state auditors, who is the sole person responsible for killing the new software that could have prevented the fraud just months before COVID-19,” said an ESD staffer.

Ms. LeVine’s background includes a position in a luxury travel subsidiary of a software business and fundraising for the Democratic party. With no experience she was given a foreign position in the State Department by the Obama Administration. After her $17,500 donation to Washington Governor Inslee, she was then appointed by him as Commissioner of Employment Security.

“This is the worst conceivable caricature of a patronage appointment. We’re talking about someone whose resume is absent any relevant government experience whatsoever, and a person who is completely disconnected from the reality of the unemployed,” said Mr. Scannell. “If someone really deems it necessary to give someone a patronage appointment, why hand a job caring for the unemployed to an unqualified multi-multi-millionaire who has demonstrated contempt for the unemployed?”

Ms. LeVine may in fact be less than directly impacted by the suffering caused by her mismanagement. With her husband Eric, Ms. LeVine lives in a $3.5 million-dollar 7,200 sq. ft. Seattle mansion. They own a multimillion-dollar software company that tracks wine collections for the world’s wealthiest people. The State of Washington paid her substantially over $200,000 including benefits and allowances.

Meanwhile, Ms. LeVine’s disconnection from the pain and suffering caused by her historic mismanagement appears to have coincided with what is being calling “an utterly sadistic negligence of her responsibility to have cared for the unemployed,” according to a prominent employment law attorney. “Ms. LeVine cynically used several of the same fraudulent tactics to deny claims that she used to obstruct audits,” she said.

According to the employment law attorney, the tactics deployed against claimants and auditors alike include feigning confusion, shuffling people between ESD employees, refusing to release information, destroying documents, and simply not responding to inquiries. “Federal crimes have been committed here. Why are there no federal charges? These are criminal acts.” said the attorney who has shared notes with colleagues. “Where is the federal investigation?”

“The conclusion that we’ve all come to is, if it was really ‘Nigerian fraud’ as Ms. LeVine has claimed in Washington state, why did she obstruct the audits?” said the employment law attorney. “Why aren’t all the records being posted online after an outside GAAP equivalent audit? Isn’t this a lot of the public’s hard-earned money? What business could possibly run without accounting for where the money is going?” she said.

Meanwhile, for her part, with her only accomplishments in government being the greatest loss to fraud in the history of Washington State, insiders express incredulity of her current pending appointment, “this is utterly the worst conceivable candidate for the person responsible for some of our nation’s most vulnerable, the unemployed. It is inconceivable to even consider this person for the appointment,” stated attorney Mr. Scannell.

Ms. LeVine, who contrary to federal law accepted $9000 worth of gifted luxury wine tasting functions in Luxembourg while working in her political patronage appointed State Department job in Switzerland and living in a government provided $25 million dollar mansion, asked the unemployed and the taxpayers of Washington State to trust her. Now she asks the nation.

When asked exactly how much money had been taken from the unemployed of the State of Washington, and exactly how it happened, her response was, “trust me, I want to know. I asked every single day,” although she had direct and unlimited access to all accounting and transaction information.

Ms. LeVine’s business philosophy may be of little consolation to Washington’s unemployed and taxpayers: “fail fast, and fail cheaply,” said Ms. LeVine. The “North star” for her personal moral compass, she says, is the Jewish expression “tikkun olam” which means “repair the world.”

“Perhaps Ms. LeVine could repair an important part of the world by assuming responsibility for the results of a comprehensive outside audit of the mess she left in Washington State,” said attorney Mr. Scannell. “The best thing she could do for all of us is to decline the patronage appointment and not doing any more damage.”

Another political appointee

Suzan LeVine Retaliated Against Claimants, Whistleblowers claim

While Rewarding Career Criminals

ESD Commissioner LeVine is Responsible for the Largest State Loss from Fraud in U.S. History

Seattle, Washington State Jan. 5, 2021. When 21-year-old ‘Sonya L.’ applied for unemployment benefits in Washington State, she filled out every form and complied with every law. Nothing happened for months. And months. And months.

While employment security offices across the country are having challenges ranging from fraud to backlogs, Washington State has stood out among all others for several reasons, according to claimants, lawyers, and government insiders.

At the center of the dysfunction, they say, was Suzan LeVine, a state political appointee who is now nominated to be responsible for the nation’s entire employment security system following a $400,000 donation to the Biden campaign. Sonya’s L.’s Washington state experience, however, may cause the U.S. Senate to take a closer look before confirming LeVine.

In contrast to Sonya L’s experience with unemployment benefits, career criminal Austin Schwahn, whose street alias is “Austin ‘Rockstrom,” filed false claims while using street drugs. He promptly received a check in full from Ms. LeVine’s office. Although a written fraud claim was officially filed by a highly credible witness months before, the convicted heroin addict continued to receive unemployment benefits from Washington State Employment Security Commissioner Suzan LeVine’s office.

Meanwhile, over a period of six months, Sonya L. made dozens of calls to the Employment Security Department (ESD), spent over 20 hours on hold and sent several emails to the State for her unemployment claims. She finally began receiving a weekly check. But while her past due claims had been approved – which would have been enough to pay for a place to live – they failed to come through.

Finally, after continuous efforts produced no results, the former journalism student reached out to friends in the media. They gave her the personal email address of then ESD Commissioner Suzan LeVine. After sending an email to former Commissioner LeVine, it got a reaction, but not the one she expected. “Rather than helping resolve the claim,” Sonya L. said, “former Commissioner LeVine immediately retaliated against me.”

Within hours of reaching out to the former Commissioner, in fact, Sonya L. received a response from ‘Agent #644.’ “At first I was really encouraged to have received such a fast reply after so much time and effort to resolve the claim,” she said. “I guess I shouldn’t have had so much faith after all that’s happened, and everything that’s been covered in the media.”

A lot has, indeed, been covered in the media. Former Commissioner LeVine had become the national symbol of government dysfunction. Articles in the local, regional, and national press referred to Ms. LeVine as being solely responsible for allowing the greatest single social services fraud in the history of her state to occur as a result of her negligence. LeVine then, according to Washington State’s Auditor, concealed the losses.

Regardless of the press coverage, when ‘Agent #644’ again asked for the same information that Sonya L. had previously provided, she wasn’t initially concerned. “At first I thought, ‘well, since they’re getting back to me so quickly, at least they’re trying to take care of this.’ It was really naïve of me. Later it seemed clear that the delays are a calculated process by the State to illegally deny claims.”

When Sonya L. reached out to friends in the press who had previously covered government stories, her feelings were confirmed – she learned of a pattern of practices the State employs to deny benefits claims. “It’s a four-part process,” one journalist explained to her, “The first step is simply ignoring claimants. If people are persistent, the second step is ‘case shuffling,’ it’s where the case is moved from agent to agent to wear you down.”

That was exactly what Sonya L. experienced. “After again giving all the required information to agent #644, I then received a message from ‘Lisa C.,’ who asked for documents that aren’t even required by law,” stated Sonya L. “This is exactly what insiders said would be the third step.” Before she even had a chance to respond to ‘Lisa C.,’ the case was ‘shuffled’ again. This time to a ‘Case Investigator.’

“This is the fourth step in the process of denying valid claims,” her journalist friend told her. “Taking the offensive. Starting a pretext ‘investigation’ when the claim is perfectly valid. Basically, it’s an intimidation tactic.” Joseph Nessinger, referring to himself as a ‘Case Investigator,’ as Sonya’s journalists friends predicted, sent an email to Sonya L. requesting a call. Mr. Nessinger is, in fact, a private investigator who is alleged to be fraudulently licensed as a result of his unreported prior conviction by the IRS for unpaid taxes.

In response to private investigator Nessinger’s emails, which clearly and falsely implied he was a state employee, on the advice of her journalist friends Sonya L. began looking for legal counsel. She sent an email to Nessinger asking for an extension of Lisa C.’s three-day deadline asking for documents not required by law. She explained that she needed time to find an attorney. Sonya L. also cited the law that doesn’t require her to provide the documents they demanded.

Lisa C. responded by offering a two-day extension to Sonya L., but ignored her request for a written response – required under the law – as to why her benefits were illegally suspended pending the conclusion of an ‘investigation,’ why there is an ‘investigation’ when she complied with all requirements, and why she is being asked for documents that are not stipulated by law.

Meanwhile, throughout the greatest crisis and need for unemployment security in State history, Ms. LaVine, “earned substantially more than $200,000 a year in salary, benefits, and expense accounts, was taking vacations, and was often absent from the office,” according to insiders. There have been countless public demands by the press and politicians for her resignation. Multiple law firms have started class action suits.

“I just keep thinking, ‘If this could happen to me, I can’t imagine the amount of real-world pain and suffering that this mess at the State’s Unemployment office is causing to single mothers in rural areas, children who are going hungry, the elderly and people with illnesses,’” said Sonya L.. “It’s hard to imagine how much suffering could have been relieved by the money that was allowed to be stolen.”

“Let’s be clear about this,” said an employment law attorney who asked not to be named, “People need to figure out another approach to deal with Employment Security management,” he said. “These are illegal acts. People need to start filing public records requests and federal criminal complaints under USC 1983 civil rights violations against senior ESD staff . Something has got to change.”

Several hundred thousand unemployed Washingtonians would likely agree. Victims are now proposing public rallies – like the rallies being held to advocate for the defunding of police departments. “The management of ESD needs to be held personally accountable,” said another employment law attorney.

“One would think that there are many people immediately effected by the illegal withholding of their money. I think a strategically located rally would have a big impact. Like WTO.” Clearly, something has got to change. Perhaps if it’s likely to change anywhere, it’s likely to change in Seattle.

It is likely that Austin “Rockstrom” was hoping things wouldn’t change – in addition to nearly $10,000 in unemployment benefits, he received a $2,000 bonus payment from Ms. LeVine’s former office that was promptly spent on street drugs, courtesy of you, the Washington State taxpayer. The people of the state have financed both his ‘drug store’ and his heroin addiction.

Mr. “Rockstrom,” a convicted career criminal, has never even looked for a job once in his life, according to the official sworn fraud complaint filed with Ms. LeVine’s former office. The complaint regarding Mr. “Rockstrom” that was filed several months ago was only acted on recently after several follow up complaints with ESD.

Unable to pay her rent, Sonya L., however, was evicted and became homeless for the first time in her life. Mr. Rockstrom, his ‘business’ boosted by a windfall of taxpayer money, is now doing better than ever. Although she notified ESD in writing that she had been employed for a two week period to correct her original unemployment claim, Ms. LeVine’s office filed fraud charges against ‘Sonya L.’

The Senate will now decide if the entire nation’s unemployed, in the worst unemployment environment since the great depression, will have to rely on Ms. LeVine for their survival.

Donald Trump, the greatest threat to America’s National Security

Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump

In the last days of his presidency, Donald Trump has incited violence, and has engaged a deliberate campaign of terrorism aimed at dividing Americans, like myself, who opposed him politically. As a result, Donald Trump has become the greatest threat to America’s National Security that America shall ever see.

But why, why is the so called leader of the free World engaging in such terroristic acts and inciting violence in the last days of his administration? 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

Pierce College, WA John Edward Pennington, Jr.

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.

Ms. O’Dell, and her husband, Mark Plivilech, set up a USPS Box in Duvall Washington, PO Box # 70, for pick ups and drops of cash bribes from the Penningtons. The Penningtons live in Duvall, while Ms. O’Dell and Mark Plivilech live in Spokane, a four hour drive from Spokane to Duvall.

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. 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.

Duvall Washington’s Crystal Hill Pennington Washington State Bar complaints over the roof before her first week in private practice

July 25, 2020 by goldbarreporter 3 Comments

September 11, 2022: UPDATE

Washington State Bar Assocation investigates complaint against Crystal Hill Pennington for misrepresentations made to government officers.

King County, Washington, issued findings of submitting fraudulent academic and work credentials against Crystal Hill Pennington.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Seattle: May 20, 2022

Several potential clients contacted the Gold Bar Reporter about filing Washington State Bar complaints against Crystal Hill Pennington’s bar license, and she only been in practice for one week. For Gold Bar residents, this is no surprise. Ms. Hill Pennington steals from her clients, employers, and has spent time in prison for theft. Why and how she managed to get a Washington State Bar license with fraudulent academic credentials- all online from online schools the Department of Education labeled fraud.

In addition to her theft, Crystal Hill Pennington passed sexually transmitted disease (STD) to several public officials. In one case, her husband, John Edward Pennington Jr., raped a five-year-old child, and is guilty of trafficking children for sex along with Court of Appeals Div I. Justice Marlin Applewick and Snohomish County Commissioner G. Geoffrey Gibbs.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Duvall Washington convicted bank frauder and Duvall Washington Lawyer under investigation for stealing from clients. Racketeering charges pending and she was found liable of forgery. Ms. Hill Pennington changed her name from Crystal Hill Pennington to Crystal Berg to Crystal Hill to cover up her criminal racketeering crimes.

Anyone with complaints against Ms. Hill Pennington WSBA license is encouraged to send the Gold Bar Reporter a copy of your complaint at GoldBarReporter@comcast.net. Your complaints will be published.

Between 2015 to 2017, Crystal Hill Pennington (nee Berg) along with John Edward Pennington Jr. attempted to obtain countless “restraining orders” against Anne Block, the Gold Bar Reporter. The reason was simple: Ms. Hill Pennington filed countless criminal complaints claiming that she was unable to find employment as a result of our news reports on her extensive criminal history.

In Pierce County, on April 27, 2017, a Washington State Judge held a 3.5 hour hearing, at which time, the Gold Bar Reporter presented copies of Ms. Hill Pennington criminal history records documenting that she is a twice convicted bank frauder, once in North Carolina where she served time in jail, and once in Snohomish County Washington where she plead guilty.

Ms. Hill Pennington uses several aliases, and aka as Crystal Berg and Crystal Pieneiche.

For over ten years, Ms. Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) and John Edward Pennington Jr. operated a foe website titled the ” Sky Valley Chronicle.” Public records confirm John E Pennington Jr did this right from his office inside Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management. john E. Pennington was fired for his criminal harassment in late 2016.

Crystal Hill Pennington was unemployed from February 2010, to April 2020. She was fired from every job she ever held which included Snohomish County Community Transit, and attorney Mark Weiss’s office. Inside Community Transit Ms. Hill Pennington was caught stealing ( excess of $300) and lying on her job application. Because Ms. Hill Pennington’s mother was a long term employee at Community Transit, they agreed not to criminally prosecute in 2002.

In 2010, Ms. Hill Pennington was also fired from attorney Mark Weiss’s office after he caught her practicing law without a license, writing and serving divorce motions for her new lover, John E Pennington Jr, in King County Washington, Laughlin v Pennington.

After Attorney Mark Wiess fired Crystal Hill for the crime of practicing law without a license, she applied for unemployment benefits lying about the reason why she was fired. The WA Security Division received a fraud report from another resident, and after a 90 day investigation, Ms. Hill Pennington was found to have falsely filed for unemployment benefits and court ordered to pay back over $6000.00 she stole. The State’s court filed in King County where Ms. Hill Pennington resides.

After Ms. Hill Pennington (nee Berg) plead guilty to bank fraud in Snohomish County, she was appointed as a Gold Bar city council member by another fraudster, Colleen Hawkins. Ms. Hawkins had her owns problems of using her husband’s security clearance inside Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office to run illegal background checks on citizens. Ms. Hawkins used her husband, a Sheriff Officer, to run illegal backgrounds on her opponents just before the election. What Ms. Hawkins found was a juvenile criminal conviction of her opponent from another state, and then disseminated the illegally obtained information via Gold Bar city emails. The only problem for Ms. Hawkins was that the criminal history she illegally gathered on her opponent was from a state that “seals” juvenile records.

As a twice convicted criminal, Ms. Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) was compromised, thus an ally to shady people like Coleen Hawkins. People who should be in prison for their crimes. Instead, Ms. Hill changed her name from Crystal Berg to Crystal Hill and ran for Mayor.

According to the Washington State Auditor’s 2012 Report, during Ms. Hill Pennington’s tenor as Mayor there is ” $200,000 missing from the City, and not employee can tell me where it went.”

In July 2008, Ms. Hill and a water employee named Karl Majerle were caught illegally using the City’s gas card for their personal vehicles. Majerle was the only prosecuted for the theft, because Ms. Hill Pennington’s past criminal history of bank fraud convictions, Association of Washington Cities was unable to bond her thus they had every incentive to cover up her crimes. Mr. Majerle knew about Ms. Hill Pennington’s criminal bank fraud convictions and extorted her into not pursuing criminal charges.

But then along came the Gold Bar Reporter, who has written extensively on Ms. Hill Pennington’s fraud; so much so that Ms. Hill Pennington filed a criminal complaint against the Gold Bar Reporter in 2016 claiming ” I cant find work because of Ms. Block’s blog.”

Joe Beavers became Mayor after Ms. Hill Pennington’s lengthy five year extra-martial affair with a forth time married man, John Edward Pennington Jr. For four years, Crystal Hill harassed his wife Ann, and in one extramarital affair with a married man, Fleshman Cooper ( the father of Hill’s child), Ms. Hill was found guilty of criminal harassment and ordered to stay away from Mr. Cooper, his wife and their child.

Fleshman Cooper’s ex-wife said ” Crystal Hill Pennington was abusing my child. I found bruises on my child, and brought charges against Crystal for criminal harassment . . . ” What Ms. Cooper didn’t know is that Crystal Hill was sleeping with several Snohomish County Sheriff’s Officers, one county Judge Joe Wilson, and three county prosecutors.

After siting by watching countless extra marital affairs committed by John E Pennington, with whores and prostitutes, John E Pennington’s marriage ended, and his mistress, Crystal Hill, who Gold Bar’s Mayor Joe Beavers said ” Crystal Hill is a whore! ” three times in Executive Session, moved in with John E Pennington in 2009.

At the time, Crystal Hill moved in with Pennington, her house was foreclosed on for failing to make a single house payment, and John E. Pennington Jr. was still married to Ann when Ms. Hill Pennington moved in with him.

“Birds of the same feathers flock together as do pigs and swine.’

In late 2012, Block v City of Gold Bar, then Gold Bar Mayor Joe Beavers was deposed and in that deposition we learned that Joe Beavers was a convicted felon from Arlington Texas. Joe Beavers sexually assaulted a female inside a bar and when a man tried to defend her, a drunkin fight broke out. Joe Beavers plead guilty to assault and was sentenced to 10 days in jail, ordered into anger management classes, and served 3 years probation.

Joe Beavers application to become a Professional Engineer was declined as a result of his felony conviction.

In late 2016, John E Pennington Jr. was fired from Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management after he was caught moonlighting on the county’s dime ( operating his own company and not paying WA State business tax) , operating and having the County taxpayers pay the Penningtons’ blog titled the Sky Valley Chronicle, and after his dereliction of his official county duties resulted in the deaths of 43 residents in the Oso mudslides.

In 2009, Dr. Hedricks from King County Washington labeled John Edward Pennington Jr. “a sociopath with no empathy for human life.” John Pennington was hospitalized at Oregon State hospital after he violently assaulted his prior fiancé in Oregon. As part of his plea deal, claiming he had a mental defect i.e. autism, John Edward Pennington Jr. would undergo mental health confinement at Oregon State Hospital instead of serving time in prison.

For six months John E Pennington Jr. filed false claims that the Gold Bar Reporter was anonymously cyber-stalking him and his family, when in fact, the Gold Bar Reporter has openly posted and appeared inside the press as Anne Block.

Fact is, the Penningtons were cyber-stalking on behalf of Snohomish County Prosecutors’ Office on a foe website titled ” The Sky Valley Chronicle” and once Attorney General Bob Fergusson learned about this – after a lawsuit was filed against the Sky Valley Chronicle – he shut them down by saying ” If you don’t stop harassing’s Block on the Chronicle, we are going to let her proceed for defamation against you.”

For years, John Pennington bragged that he was a member of an organization that vowed to protect him if he were ever sued. At the time, we had no idea that Association of Washington Cities has been covering up for pedophiles inside our government offices. Public officials have known to have trafficked underage girls and/or boys for sex include Court of Appeals Justice Marlin Applewick, King County Superior Court Judge Michael Scott, Washington State Bar Association Lead Counsel Doug Ende, and Snohomish County Commissioner G. Geoffrey Gibbs.

After the Judge held that Anne Block was a member of the press, denying the Penningtons’ request to stop our news reports on their fraud and harassment, Crystal Hill Pennington teared up, putting on a very poor acting stunt, trying to get the Judge to reconsider his decision. The Judge DENIED Ms. Hill Pennington’s attempts to restrain the Gold Bar Reporter as “Unconstitutional Restraint against Free Speech and the Free Press.”

The real reason why Pierce County denied the restraining order because the Penningtons’ were caught forging court records. Both were found liable for whiting out court service documents, and successfully sued as a result in Block v Penningtons, March 2017, King County Superior Court.

In late 2016, Ms. Hill Pennington filed a police report with Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office claiming she couldn’t find work as a result the Gold Bar Reporter’s news reports. So, as you can imagine, we were quite surprised that a twice convicted bank frauder, a person who filed fraudulent unemployment claims, was in fact found liable for not paying business tax ( King County against the Penningtons Education Services Inc.), and who was also found liable of forgery ( March 2017, Block v Pennington, King County), would be receiving any kind of government job. Especially since we already know Ms. Hill Pennington’s bank fraud convictions make her ineligible for King County, state and federal employment.

In April 2020, acting on false information Ms. Hill Pennington submitted in her job application and resume, King County hired her. This caused us to request public records involving Ms. Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) from King County. Late last week, we got some answers back learning that Ms. Hill Pennington is guilty of fraud once again, but this time in King County Washington.

Ms. Hill Pennington falsely claimed on a King County job application that she was in a Juris Doctorate ( JD Law) program ( she was DENIED entrance into an accredited JD law program because she lied on her application), she worked for various states including Maryland ( during time period where she filed a criminal complaint against the Gold Bar Reporter claiming she couldn’t find work because of our news reports on her crimes), she failed to disclose her criminal history of bank fraud convictions, and she also lied claiming that she was the City Manager for the City of Gold Bar.

According to City of Gold Bar Mayor Bill Clem, the City has never had a city manager.

Criminal complaints against Ms. Hill Pennington are pending and King County employee told the Gold Bar Reporter that Ms. Hill Pennington is being postured for lying on her job application.

Ms. Hill Pennington has never sued the Gold Bar Reporter, but we did sue her and John E Pennington Jr. for harassment, abuse of the process, and forgery. ( Block v Penningtons, King County Superior Court, March 2017) Ms. Hill Pennington and John Edward Pennington Jr. were found liable for committing forgery, abuse of the process, and harassment against the Gold Bar Reporter for reporting the truth on their rein of terror for the last decade.

______________________________________________________________________________

For Snohomish County government note this report was published from outside the State of Washington. This is mentioned because a source called the Gold Bar Reporter and said ” Ms . Hill Pennington was placed on administrative leave pending a criminal investigation into her false filings via electronic means ( according to our counsel amounts to racketeering), by a non-state investigator. She was steaming and threatening Snohomish County prosecutors and Sheriff’s Office to exposé all of them if they didn’t do something.”

The source who we labeled ” fed up” told the Gold Bar Reporter that Crystal Hill also slept with Prosecutors Adam Cornell, Sean Reay, and Mark Roe. In fact, the source said ” everyone knew Crystal Hill Pennington was having gang banging parties with many county employees for years.” It’s no wonder why former Gold Bar Mayor Joe Beavers declared in Executive Session ” Crystal Hill is whore! Crystal Hill is a whore! Crystal Hill is a whore!” and former Gold Bar council member Jay Prueher said ” Crystal Hill was a party girl.”

The Gold Bar Reporter is an award winning journalist and has been reporting on government officers corruption for a decade. What is happening in Minnesota as well as major cities throughout America is just a symptom of why persons like Crystal Hill Pennington and John Edward Pennington Jr. who have extensive criminal history are placed inside government offices like the officer who murdered George Floyd.

National Public Radio recently did a story about how the insurance company is still insuring bad state actors, covering up liability they created and allowing them to keep their jobs. Minnesota, like WA State, also uses Lloyds of London as it primary insurer of public employee’s civil and criminal misconduct.

The only issue I take with NPR story is they forgot to mention that Lloyds of London syndicates like Association of Washington Cities and Counties are insuring these people with no regard for citizens.

John Pennington, man who killed 43 people in Oso mudslides, kicked out of University of Alaska for falsifying his academic credentials

April 15, 2020 by goldbarreporter 3 Comments

On April 27, 2017, in Pierce County Washington, John Edward Pennington Jr. and Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg, convicted of bank fraud 2005), tried to obtain a “restraining order” against the the Gold Bar Reporter. Purpose was to stop our investigation of their theft of public monies, John Pennington’s crimes against women and children and their criminal cyber-stalking harassment on a website the Penningtons anonymously cyber-stalked their political foes on titled ” The Sky Valley Chronicle.”

John E Pennington was caught via public records operating the Sky Valley Chronicle from Snohomish County government computers, and John E Pennington Jr was fired from Snohomish County Emergency Management as a result.

After a 3.5 hour hearing, Pierce County dismissed the Penningtons complaint and further held that the Gold Bar Reporter was a member of the press.

After the Pierce County hearing in Penningtons v Block, the Gold Bar Reporter sued John and Crystal Hill Pennington for harassment in the judicial process, and the tort of forgery. Both were held to be liable to the Gold Bar Reporter in Block v Penningtons, King County Superior Court, Case No: No: 16-2-26600-2 ( March 2017).

After careful investigations of John and Crystal Hill Pennington in 2017, we also discovered that John Edward Pennington Jr were charged with failing to pay and file state tax returns, sued by the Washington State Attorney General’s Office for not paying their taxes and found liable, WA State v John and Crystal Pennington Case No: 17-2-06169-7.

In King County, Washington. Crystal Hill Pennington and John Pennington were also caught in 2016 filing false unemployment claims.

John Edward Pennington Jr. is also the man who violently assaulted a 3rd trimester pregnant council member in Duvall Washington.

On March 24, 2014, John Edward Pennington Jr. caused the deaths of 43 people in the Oso mudslide disaster because of instead of doing his job, he was on the east coast performing private FEMA contracts in violation of Snohomish County Ordinance which prohibits any salaried official from working any other job.

In April 2017, a Pierce County Judge held that if John E Pennington Jr. was on the east coast performing a private contract in violation of Snohomish County Ordinance prohibiting salaried persons from holding any other job, Pennington was guilty of a killing under negligent homicide. See Penningtons v Block, Pierce County District Court.

On John Pennington’s Linked In page, he claims the following in red:

About:

John E. Pennington is an internationally recognized emergency management, public policy, and strategic leadership professional.

Gold Bar Reporter’s Response:

John E. Pennington Jr.’s false academic credentials are detailed quite nicely by Mike Carter at the Seattle Times when he wrote https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/local-fema-chief-had-little-disaster-experience/ which documented that California Coastal College was cited by the IRS for selling college degrees at a $1500 flat rate. This during the time period when John Pennington claims that he received a BA from California Coastal College.

John Pennington’s false statements: A former Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Regional Director (AK, ID, OR, WA) and founder/director of the Snohomish County, WA Department of Emergency Management, he is Director and Professor of Homeland Security/Emergency Management for Washington’s Pierce College and is the Emergency Management Director for Overlake Medical Center & Clinics in Bellevue, Washington. He recently served as the Director of Emergency Management for the Snoqualmie Tribe of Indians.Gold Bar Reporter’s Response: John Pennington’s political appointment to FEMA came at the bequest of Washington State Senator Jennifer Dunn, who he was engaged in an extramarital affair with from 1992 -2002. Dunn used her political influence to convince George W Bush Jr. to give him a political appointment to FEMA. Keep in mind the only experience John Pennington had in Emergency Management was sleeping with a prominent Senator.

When John Pennington killed 43 people in the Oso Mudslides, he was deposed and had to admit he is using false academic credentials and had no experience to hold Region 10 FEMA seat. When asked why he left, John Pennington lied and said he went from FEMA to Snohomish County. Not true.

In late 2005, John E. Pennington Jr was fired once George Bush Jr learned that he was diagnosed as autistic, a sociopath, and enjoys beating on women.

Mr. Pennington is Director and Associate Professor of Homeland Security & Emergency for Washington’s Pierce College, home to the Pacific Northwest’s premier HSEM Certificate, Associates, Bachelor’s and Tribal HSEM Certificate program.

Gold Bar Reporter’s Response:

Before you can be a professor, the US Department of Education said ” you must have valid academic credentials such as an accredited BA, MA, and Ph.d.”

In late 2016, The Gold Bar Reporter filed a complaint with the US Department of Education which issued an order for John E Pennington to remove the word “Professor” from his academic credentials.

He currently leads in the authorship and delivery of FEMA’s highest priority draining and education programs, including the National Emergency Management Advanced Academy (formerly Leaders Academy) and the National Emergency Management Basic Academy..

Gold Bar Reporter’s Response:

Early last year the Gold Bar Reporter sent a FOIA to FEMA asking for copies of any records showing that Pennington worked FEMA Emergency Management Institute(EMI) , and we were told there are no records.

This means Pennington once again lied about working at FEMA EMI employment.

Director of Emergency Management, selected to build a new, innovative Snoqualmie Tribe EM function and system.

Gold Bar Reporter’s Response:

Sure Mr. Pennington worked for the Tribes for 11 months, but he was fired for dereliction of his official duties. He was home lounging around on Tribes dime, and was caught and terminated.

In late summer 2019, John E Pennington Jr. was fired from Snoqualmie Tribe of Indians. An insider said ” Mr Pennington is terrible speaker, borderline illiterate, and couldn’t organize a single plan to save his life. The elders fired Pennington after it became clear is an illiterate.”

In this capacity, he and his staff became national leaders for local government/tribal emergency management, successfully responding to and recovering from nine Presidentially-declared disasters and implementing new, creative mechanisms for mitigating and coordinating disaster response and recovery in the Pacific Northwest. .

Gold Bar Reporter’s Response:

Our reports are clear that John E Pennington was fired from FEMA after President George Bush Jr learned what it took us 10 years to learn, that John E Pennington was declared a sociopath with no empathy for human life, enjoys beating women and is a pedophile.

Here’s the link to just one article written about John E. Pennington, keep in mind we have never been sued. If someone called me a pedophile, they’d be sued; John Pennington tried suing Anne Block for a restraining order but lost after Block produced evidence that John Pennington enjoys taking showers with six year old girls.

A person close to his wife (a convicted bank frauder), Crystal Hill Pennington said ” John has been molesting Hill’s daughter. He gets away with it because Crystal’s daughter has no father to protect her. When John Pennington was violently beating on Crystal’s son, his father stepped and obtained custody removing him from their Duvall home.”

Gold Bar Reporter’s Response:

Pennington fake medical conditions

The above clip came from Longview Washington Daily News Pennington mum on European Trip

Yes indeed Mr. Pennington was elected, because he ran opposed each term. This does not mean he was “unanimously elected.” It just means no one ran against him. Just evidence of more misrepresentations by Penny.

In 1999, John E Pennington was appointed by Court of Appeals Division One Judge Marlin Applewick was ” House Speaker Pro Tem, after abandoning the Republican Party in Olympia when they needed only one vote to win a hotly contested Legislative Session.

John E Pennington Jr. lied and said he was sick when in fact newspaper articles document that he was in Europe vacationing instead of supporting the Republican Party when they needed his vote the most. OUr sources stated that Pennington was with his mistress ( a Senate clerk) in Europe paid for by Democratic Party of Washington State.

The newspaper article above says it all.

” Marlin Applewick was caught with Lobbyist and attorney G. Geoffrey Gibbs and John E Pennington flying down to to Olympia to have sex with underage girls” according to the former Washington State Attorney General in charge of investigating Geoffrey Gibbs.

Just more evidence that John E Pennington Jr is s pedophile, but it’s also evidence that two other political cockroaches traffic our children as though its just another day at the office.

John Pennington’s almost true statements:

University of Alaska Fairbanks

University of Alaska Fairbanks

Doctor of Philosophy – PhD (In Progress)Indigenous Studies (Arctic)

2019 – 2024

Indigenous Studies PhD student, with a research focus on disaster policy impacts on Indigenous cultures in Alaska and the Arctic. Last week, the Gold Bar Reporter received confirmation from the University of Alaska Fairbanks that John E Pennington Jr. was expelled for submitting false academic credentials to gain entrance into a PhD program.

Gold Bar Reporter’s Response:

The University of Alaska Fairbanks confirmed that John Edward Pennington Jr was expelled for falsifying is academic credentials. He had no Graduate Entrance Exam (GRE) on file, no sealed academic transcripts with California Coastal College ( no surprise since Pennington purchased his BA for $1500 flat fee without ever attending a single class), and falsely stated that American Military University is was Accredited by US Department of Education when in fact it was subject of a PBS special titled “Education Inc.” documenting that the online college amounts to fraud.

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

February 26, 2017 by goldbarreporter 3 Comments (Edit)

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

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

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

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

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

” Looney Tunes, What’s up Doc? ”

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

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

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

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

Our children deserve better from us.

VERBALLY ASSAULTING COURT OFFICERS

John E. Pennington has yet one more credential to add his resume, threatening public and court officers.

With each new credential, the Gold Bar Reporter will update his resume.

Criminal charges have been filed against John E Pennington with his court appearance this month.

Pierce College, Tacoma, instructor, caught forging court record

November 2, 2016 by goldbarreporter 2 Comments (Edit)

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

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

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

RCW 9A.60.070

(5) Knowingly using a false academic credential is a gross misdemeanor.

According to Pierce College, Tacoma, John E. Pennington did fraudulently use false Academic credentials to obtain a position at the College by falsely submitting that he has accredited college degrees.

John E. Pennington did knowingly falsify his academic credentials to Pierce College to obtain a employment, and is guilty of this crime as well.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

After John E.Pennington forged the document:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For those of my readers who haven’t read my last articles on John Pennington’s criminal history, please see below. The Gold Bar Reporter has NEVER been sued but welcome a suit.

John Pennington, terminated for Snohomish County

2000px-FEMA_logo_svg

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

MEET JOHN ‘ THEODORE TED BUNDY” PENNINGTON

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

redmond-pd1_Page_1

pennington-redmond_Page_1

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.

Pages from Socipath John Pennington-2

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hurricane Katrina, good bye Brownie, Hello Penny

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Washington State Bar Racketeering Caught on Camera

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2000px-FEMA_logo_svg

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

MEET JOHN ‘ THEODORE TED BUNDY” PENNINGTON

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Hurricane Katrina, good bye Brownie, Hello Penny

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

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

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.”

City of Gold Bar fires lawyers, citing unethical, liars, & guilty of racketeering

April 22, 2019 by goldbarreporter 1 Comment

During an open council meeting last month, Gold Bar’s Mayor Bill Clem said ” the City is terminating its contract with Kenyon Disend.”

Our readers should note that Mayor Clem confided in several of us open government supporters many moons ago that he believed the City’s lawyers to be dishonest, has in fact been guilty of a felony i.e. tampering with Gold Bar’s public records, and guilty of exactly what the Gold Bar Reporter has been accusing them of, racketeering.

Mayor Clem also admitted to the Gold Bar Reporter that he was being threatened by Kenyon.

But just how and why the City of Gold Bar hired Kenyon Disend is directly linked to now terminated Director of Emergency Management John E . Pennington, and Mayors, Crystal Hill Pennington ( convicted of bank fraud) and Joe Beavers ( convicted of assault).

In 1992, while Michael Kenyon worked at the City attorney for Kelso Washington, he assisted John E Pennington with covering up the rape and kidnapping of a 5 year old girl.

Read on.

How the City of Gold Bar ended up with a criminal like Kenyon Disend, Ann Marie Soto, and Michael Kenyon is best explained in my article posted on March 10, 2018.

Gold Bar’s new Mayor Bill Clem ‘those people who are threatening you, are now threatening me”

Bill Clem State Farm

Bill Clem, State Farm Insurance Agent takes over as Gold Bar’s Mayor, 2018

Gold Bar’s new Mayor Bill Clem ‘those people who are threatening you, are now threatening me”

The You Mayor Bill Clem is referring to is the Gold Bar Reporter, and those people he is referring to as “threatening” is Association of Washington Cities (AWC)

In early February 2018, Gold Bar’s new Mayor Clem said ” those people who are threatening you, are now threatening me.” Over the past three months, Mayor Clem and the Gold Bar Reporter have had a several sit meetings to discuss missing money from the City’s water funds, public records and firing the City’s law firms, Kenyon Disend and Keating, Buckling and McCormack.

Bill Clem is also a State Farm Insurance agent in Monroe, Washington.

According to Bill Clem, Gold Bar’s public records officer Bonnie Jones has lied to him several times. First, I’d like my readers to know that Bonnie Jones is a convicted felon. Ms. Jones plead guilty to “rendering criminal assistance” in the State of Hawaii. Ms Jones’s is also no mother of the year; she has filed countless police reports against her own daughter, after fights erupt inside her various homes.

The Gold Bar Reporter has read countless police reports involving Ms. Jones, and lets just say anyone who calls the police on their own child, has their child arrested, is a low life. Children are, after all, the product of their parents. Bad parenting, leads to bad children.

Is this the best that Bill Clem can do? Employing a convicted felon, former ( and some say current) drug addict, who has their own child arrested? What the hell is going on inside Gold Bar Washington that we need convicted criminal answering public records for the City?

Well it’s simple, it’s called racketeering, and now with Bill Clem’s candid interview now a matter of record, it’s clear that Bonnie Jones was placed inside Gold Bar with one purpose, to commit more felonies against Gold Bar residents.

Bill Clem said ” Denise Beaston hates Bonnie Jones!” and GBR said ” why?” Clem said ” because she’s a liar.”

Gold Bar residents should ask themselves one question: why would the City of Gold Bar hire a convicted felon, former drug addict, and an irresponsible ( might be an understatement) mother, as it’s public records officer?

Beavers Bullwinkle untitled (2)

Demented old man ( left), Joe Beavers, High as a Kite Linda Loen (right)

In December 2013, Linda Loen was elected Gold Bar’s new Mayor. When asked why she and her partner Tom Palmer wanted to become Mayor and council member, both elaborated to the Gold Bar Reporter. ” well, we were in bed smoking pot, watching King 5 , 11 p.m. news when we saw a story about how no one wanted to be mayor and there was a council seat that no one wanted. So we both took another long toke and said lets do it. ”

And the City has gone further down stream inside Beavers’s dam ever since.

Instead of performing functions of her job, Linda Loen was overwhelmed, quit twice, and basically instead of doing her job, Linda Loen, also known to Gold Bar residents as “high as a kite’ Loen, handed the keys to the City to former Mayor Joe Beavers from January 2014 to March 16, 2016 ( the day the Honorable Judge Thomas Wynne held that the City violated the Gold Bar Reporter’s legal rights to access public records by withholding public records for over five years).

On the same day Judge Wynne held in the Gold Bar Reporter’s favor (March 16, 2016), Linda Loen abandoned her home in Gold Bar ( which still remains abandoned) and purchased a home with cash in Aberdeen, Washington.

According to Mayor Bill Clem, there’s $1.5 millions dollars misappropriated from the City’s water fund. Water funds are Enterprise funds and cannot be used for any other purposes other than to maintain Gold Bar’s water system.

Mayor Bill Clem admitted in an email to me that the City has spent over $1.5 million on legal bills, hiding Gold Bar’s email communication. He also admitted that the water funds were misused to pay legal bills.

GBR’s attorney said ” every public official is mandated by law to report misappropriation of public funds, or any crime, when they are aware of it. ”

Because Mayor Clem stated on the “record” that the City misused Gold Bar’s water funds, the Gold Bar Reporter requested a copy of a police report involving the missing $1.5 million dollars.

According to Mayor Clem, Joe Beavers and Bonnie Jones have been tampering with public records, illegally removed them from Gold Bar City Hall and placed them at the law office of Kenyon Disend in Issaquah Washington.

Yesterday, Joe Beavers wrote to the Gold Bar Reporter bragging he also has a copy of Gold Bar’s public records now in a legal dispute. A felony in Washington State. Mayor Bill Clem was made aware of Beavers theft of public records, and we wait Clem’s police report regarding Beavers’s felony of removing public records from Gold Bar.

Self preservation. In 2008 to 2009, Crystal Hill ( nee Berg convicted of bank fraud 2000, 2005) was sleeping with a married man ( no surprise as we could find no evidence that Hill ever slept with an unmarried man) named John E. Pennington ( 2016 terminated from Snohomish County Emergency Management, after he and Crystal Hill were caught criminally harassing and cyber-stalking the Gold Bar Reporter on a anonymous website they controlled titled The Sky Valley Chronicle).

Biggest problem for Gold Bar was that John Pennington had Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office illegally gain access into a spider of information on the GBR’s family members, performed a copy, cut and paste job on GBR’s family members trying to create a fake identity on the Gold Bar Reporter. This was John Pennington, Joe Beavers and Crystal Hill’s idea to extort the GBR into not requesting access to public records.

Since 2009, Mayor Bill Clem admits that the City has misappropriated over $1.5 million dollars of the City’s water funds hiding public records involving Beavers, Hill and Pennington. Why is simple: Beavers, Hill and John Pennington committed racketeering offenses against the Gold Bar Reporter and they disseminated their fake identity of the GBR into Gold Bar’s public records ( email communication).

Instead of coming clean about what’s inside public records in Gold Bar, the City as of today has misappropriated $1.5 million paying lawyers to hide racketeering crimes committed against citizens who seek to expose their racketeering crimes.

In 2010, to help assist the criminal Enterprise, Mayor Joe Beavers hires a good friend of John Pennington’s, attorney Michael Kenyon.

In July 2016, once the Gold Bar Reporter exposed Michael Kenyon’s little racketeering scheme involving pedophile John Pennington, Michael Kenyon lied to former Mayor Lee Hodo stating he wanted to withdraw from the City of Gold Bar, and that Keating, Buckling, and McCormack would be the best law firm to represent the City of Gold Bar.

Kenyon Disend Attorney Ann Marie Soto lied to Mayor Lee Hodo enticing him to hire Shannon Ragonesi and Amanda Butler as the new City attorneys. However, since Kenyon Disend was still hiding Gold Bar’s public record at Kenyon Disend’s law office in Issaquah, Kenyon Disend is still bilking the citizens of Gold Bar to be the repository of Gold Bar’s public records ( email communication where Crystal Hill and John Pennington illegally gained access into a “spider’ of information on the Gold Bar Reporter’s family members, disseminated those medical files, non-conviction records, credit information, IRS tax information, etc into Gold Bar’s public emails).

Cost to the taxpayers of Gold Bar to hide John Pennington, Joe Beavers, and Crystal Hill Pennington’s racketeering crimes to Gold Bar so far exceeds, according to Mayor Bill Clem thus exceeds $1.5 million dollars with no end in sight.

Below is a story written in 2016, once the Gold Bar Reporter became aware of Kenyon Disend’s crimes against Gold Bar taxpayers:

‘Attorney Michael Kenyon’s Dirty Bag of Secrets, Part II “

photo-kenyon

UPDATE: Former Mayor Joe Beavers brags to former Gold Bar council member that he has Judges inside Snohomish County Superior Court in his pocket. Implying that the fix is in.

Two weeks ago we reported that we are in the process of exposing the largest RICO scandal in Washington State’s history and it involves a Snohomish County political bum who caused thousands of deaths in the Hurricane Katrina Debacle and 44 deaths in Oso Washington mudslides, John Pennington, and an attorney/owner of the largest municipal law firm in Washington State, Michael Kenyon.

I’d like our readers to know that we have made several attempts to contact Michael Kenyon and John Pennington, both have refused comment.

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 flunking out of Vanderbilt College in Tennessee, John Pennington moved to a small suburban city just outside of San Diego California.

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

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 Republican State Rep. After a landslide loss for John Pennington, he again headed west. This time in Oregon, Pennington meets his next victim. Mr. Pennington plead guilty to criminal harassment after he hospitalized his finance in Oregon. 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.

In 1992, a 5-year-old girl was kidnapped, raped, and then tossed along a Cowlitz County road like a piece of trash. According to Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office, 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; (2) he drove the same car; (3) Pennington was in the area at the time of the child rape; (4) Pennington’s picture from 1992 is almost a complete match to the child and witness’s sketch drawing of the pedophile; and (5) Pennington relentlessly convinced his ex-wife to call the police attempting to divert attention away from himself and onto another man.

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

According to sources close to John Pennington 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.

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

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

NOW COMES, Michael Kenyon a hater of open government, and the attorney responsible for hiding public records involving former Gold Bar Mayors Colleen Hawkins, Crystal Hill, and Joe Beavers RICO crimes. But how and why Michael Kenyon got involved in the City of Gold Bar’s debacle was simple: Michael Kenyon assisted John Pennington is covering up that Pennington is one of only two men labeled by the Cowlitz County sheriff’s Office as the prime suspect in the child rape case. A case that Michael Kenyon as the City of Kelso attorney would have been involved in and knew about in 1993.

Hence why Michael Kenyon is bent over backwards to assist John Pennington escape criminal prosecution. according to one source John Pennington brags to others that he has the protection of a “little RICO” gang from Snohomish County. We are confident to report that attorney Michael Kenyon, Prosecutor Mark Roe, Seth Fine and Sean Reay are also members of the “little RICO gang.”

We promise our readers that we will continue to report on anyone who aids a pedophile, directly or indirectly.

Michael Kenyon’s hiding of public records in violation of RCW 42.56 is well documented through the case involving local Gold Bar residents Joan and Robert Amen.

Public records we received document that attorney Michael Kenyon made an illegal agreement with the City of Sammamish to hide Hawkins email communication, and then refused to release public records claiming that he no longer had them. According to Washington State Attorney General Nancy Krier such agreements are not permissible under the Public Records Act. A fact that we are not sure that she shared with Kenyon. In 2008 one of Kenyon Disend’s lawyers ( Special Prosecutor) managed to quash John Pennington’s domestic violence charges. Soon thereafter, the Law Firm of Kenyon Disend received two lucrative contracts, one with the City of Duvall and the other with the City of Gold Bar.

Then 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’s that we requested under RCW 42.56. 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.

As of today, Attorney Michael Kenyon and Ann Marie Soto have bilked the taxpayers of Gold Bar over $920,000.00 hiding former Mayor Crystal Hill’s public records ( emails) documenting that she was practicing law without a license, and John Pennington making racist comments about President Obama and running illegal ACCESS background checks in violation of RCW 10.97.

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. Pennington has countless child abuse and spousal abuse complaints against him; Mr. Pennington is a racist according to people close to him he said ” I only support abortion when a white woman is raped by a black man” Just like Hitler, John E. Pennington has a real disdain for minorities

Both attorney Michael Kenyon and Snohomish County’s number political welfare recipient are being sued under RICO.

A copy of the RICO is posted online see http://twitdoc.com/view.asp?id=172712&sid=3P9K&ext=PDF&lcl=RICO-files.pdf&usr=Sunshine2015K&doc=252796214&key=key-vCgcyry8MG3PdTevxTaE

Gold Bar’s City Attorney Ann Marie Soto and Shannon Ragonesi illegally remove FBI National Crime Information Records (NCIC) in exchange for information and stolen items regarding theft from Gold Bar Reporter by Brandia Taamu

Snohomish County Prosecutors and attorneys tampering with FBI National Crime Information Center data

Soto Ragonesi

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.

Pages from SO08-24992_Redacted_Page_1

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.

Pages from SO08-24992_Redacted

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.

11D05276_Page_3 11D05276_Page_4 11D05276_Page_2

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

John E. Pennington was finally terminated by newly elected Executive Dave Somers, once he learned that public records confirmed the following:

For years prior to the Oso mudslides, Snohomish County’s geologists urged the County’s Department of Emergency Management to purchase homes already built and move resident off the slide, correcting holding that the area was unstable and a major slide area. FEMA offered funding to buy out home owners.

Instead of buying out property owners, Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon wrote an email letter to one of his political appointee’s John E Pennington asking “is it safe to build?” John E Pennington wrote back ” Its good to build boss.”

John E. Pennington was a two term Washington State Representative from Cowlitz County Washington. He was also diagnosed by King County Superior Court Dr. Hedricks as “a sociopath with no empathy for human life” and he was diagnosed with autism.

If having the Director of Snohomish County Emergency Management labeled a sociopath with autism isn’t bad enough, keep reading.

According to lead Cowlitz County Detective Maurice Saxon, John E. Pennington was also the man responsible for the rape, kidnapping, and attempted murder of a 5 year old girl in Cowltiz County in 1992.

At the time John E Pennington was the person responsible for raping, kidnapping, and attempted murder of a five year old girl, he was also running for an uncontested Washington State House of Representative’s seat.

At the time of the child rape, Gold Bar’s city attorney Michael Kenyon was the City of Kelso’s attorney.

When John E Pennington and Mike Kenyon covered up the rape of a child, Michael Kenyon’s career skyrocketed. Kenyon went from an anal salary of $37,500 per year as a city attorney to a million year, only after Senator Jennifer Dunn jumped started Kenyon’s career at the bequest of John E. Pennington.

John E Pennington said ” I owe Jennifer Dunn my career…” What Pennington left off was that Mike Kenyon also owes Senator Jennifer Dunn his career.

When the Gold Bar Reporter requested access to public records here in Gold Bar, involving John E Pennington’s then mistress and Gold Bar’s then Mayor Crystal Hill ( nee Berg convicted of bank fraud, 2000, 2005), attorney Mike Kenyon, John E Pennington’s fixer, was hired by Gold Bar’s Mayor Joe ” Felon” Beavers to tampering with public emails disseminated inside Gold Bar’s public emails. Those emails contained illegally obtained information from the FBI about the Gold Bar Reporter’s family, including major HIPPA violations.

And so the 10 year public records litigation began… and what just learned is that the City of Gold Bar has been lying to Gold Bar residents about who is paying the legal bills posted on the City’s website. A story for a later dates, but for those of you who wondered, it’s Washington State attorney General Bob Ferguson Office. A story we are working on for a little later date. Stay tuned.

Two years after the Oso mudslides, John E Pennington was deposed, and his response to what he considered his responsibilities to be are nicely illustrated in his videotaped deposition when he states countless times ” I was just the Director, I just directed.”

According to the Seattle Times, John E Pennington paid a flat rate fee for his online fraudulent diploma, from California Coastal University. Pennington used his online flat rate diploma to obtain another online degree from American Military University, a online school US Senator Harkin said was fraud on PBS’s special “Education Inc.”

This begs one question: Had the County hired a person qualified to handle Emergencies could Oso Mudslides been mitigated? The Gold Bar Reporter believes so.

Since the Hazel Landslide has a history of instability dating to 1937, this prior to the March 2014 mudslide, the FEMA plans to buy out the homeowners in 2006 would have eliminated the human causalities.

“Completely unforeseen”

On March 24, two days after the slide, John Pennington, Director of Snohomish County’s Department of Emergency Management, stated at a news conference, “This was a completely unforeseen slide. This came out of nowhere.”^[28] The same day The Seattle Times published an article about previous slides at the same location, as well as the likelihood of future slides. The article contained comments from geologists, engineers, and local residents, and stated that the area was known among locals as “Slide Hill”. On the next day, The Times followed up with a full page article, “‘Unforeseen’ risk of slide? Warnings go back decades.”Snohomish County Public Works Director Steve Thompsen was quoted as saying, “A slide of this magnitude is very difficult to predict. There was no indication, no indication at all.” ‘

John E. Pennington also told Time Magazine the same week ” Everyone knew of the dangers.”

Source Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Oso_mudslide

The Gold Bar Reporter since early January 2009, tried to warn the public that John E. Pennington was dangerous man ( arrested for beating a 3rd trimester pregnant City of Duvall Council Member just weeks before delivering her child), and had criminally harassed the Gold Bar Reporter using an anonymous website Washington State Senator Steve Hobbs, and several Snohomish County Executive employees operated from Snohomish County offices, titled ” The Sky Valley Chronicle.”

Countless criminal complaints were filed against John E Pennington from 2009 to 2017, but each time a criminal complaint was filed, then Sheriff John Lovick ( now WA State House of Rep for Mill Creek) would always intercept and quash the criminal complaints.

We would later learn that John Lovick was accused of sexual abusing a minor child in his care , caught masturbating along side her bed, inside his daughter’s room in the 1990s. John Lovick later paid off the victim to remain silent, and has since been lying to his constituents that the allegations are not true.

My mother always said ” the only ones who protect pedophiles, are pedophiles themselves.” That’s exactly what John Lovick did, he protected John E Pennington from being criminally prosecuted on over 15 criminal complaints that were filed by several woman, and this after King County issued a restraining order against John E Pennington, they revoked his concealed weapons permit. While a King County restraining order was issued, John Lovick illegally granted Pennington back ( persons with domestic violence and mental health issues are NOT allowed to have weapons) a concealed weapons permit. Since Pennington did not live in Snohomish County – he actuall resides in Duvall, King County – Lovick had no authority to sign Pennington’s concealed weapons permit.

When Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon learned that John E Pennington tried to rape his public records officer inside Snohomish County Dept of Emergency Management, Aaron Reardon called her in to his office and promised her promotions and issued a very large settlement check of $45,000.00, which we later learned the victim used to enlarge her breasts. She is now Director of Emergency Management for the City of Marysville.

In May 2013, Snohomish County’s Municipal Unit “voted” to order then Municipal Unit and Snohomish County Prosecutor Margaret King to assist John Pennington with getting Anne Block disbarred for exposing corruption.

A source inside Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office, who we label “Fed Up” told the Gold Bar Reporter that ” Mark Roe and Mike Kenyon conspired with the county council to have you disbarred for reporting on their racketeering conduct. Margaret King was removed as Gold Bar’s City attorney, and moved to Snohomish County to assist the county with getting you disbarred.”

What our readers may not know is that from 2010 to February 2012, attorney Margaret King assisted in two Washington State Bar complaints. What King and other complained about was that lawyers shouldn’t also be reporters. The Gold Bar Reporter told the Washington State Bar Association ” stay out of my First Amendment activities.” The actions of the Enterprise cleared the way for the Reporter to dedicate more time to writing.

Forty-three people were killed and 49 homes and other structures destroyed. This was unacceptable from persons who were sworn in to uphold the laws, but as in the case of now terminated Director of Emergency Management John E Pennington, spent county monies and resources criminally harassing his opponents on a fake website The Sky Valley Chronicle. A website, Pennington, his convicted bank frauding wife Crystal D. Pennington (aka Berg, Hill), Snohomish County Prosecutors and Executive Officers used to defame and cyber-stalk anyone who dared challenge government sociopaths, who according to King County Superior Court ” has no empathy for human life.”

The You Mayor Bill Clem is referring to is the Gold Bar Reporter, and those people he is referring to as “threatening” is Association of Washington Cities (AWC)

Bill Clem is also a State Farm Insurance agent in Monroe, Washington.

Bill Clem said ” Denise Beaston hates Bonnie Jones!” and GBR said ” why?” Clem said ” because she’s a liar.”

And the City has gone further down stream inside Beavers’s dam ever since.

GBR’s attorney said ” every public official is mandated by law to report misappropriation of public funds, or any crime, when they are aware of it. ”

Because Mayor Clem stated on the “record” that the City misused Gold Bar’s water funds, the Gold Bar Reporter requested a copy of a police report involving the missing $1.5 million dollars.

In 2010, to help assist the criminal Enterprise, Mayor Joe Beavers hires a good friend of John Pennington’s, attorney Michael Kenyon.

Below is a story written in 2016, once the GBR became aware of Kenyon Disend’s crimes against Gold Bar taxpayers:

UPDATE: Former Mayor Joe Beavers brags to former Gold Bar council member that he has Judges inside Snohomish County Superior Court in his pocket. Implying that the fix is in.

I’d like our readers to know that we have made several attempts to contact Michael Kenyon and John Pennington, both have refused comment.

MEET JOHN ‘ THEODORE TED BUNDY” PENNINGTON

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

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.

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

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

We promise our readers that we will continue to report on anyone who aids a pedophile, directly or indirectly.

Michael Kenyon’s hiding of public records in violation of RCW 42.56 is well documented through the case involving local Gold Bar residents Joan and Robert Amen.

Both attorney Michael Kenyon and Snohomish County’s number political welfare recipient are being sued under RICO.

A copy of the RICO is posted online see http://twitdoc.com/view.asp?id=172712&sid=3P9K&ext=PDF&lcl=RICO-files.pdf&usr=Sunshine2015K&doc=252796214&key=key-vCgcyry8MG3PdTevxTaE

Snohomish County Prosecutors’ violating the public’s trust, withholding public records EXPOSED

February 17, 2018 by goldbarreporter 1 Comment

2018 Shavlik v Sno County_Page_1

2018 Shavlik v Sno County_Page_2

2018 Shavlik v Sno County_Page_3

2018 Shavlik v Sno County_Page_4

On February 16, 2018, King County Superior Court held that Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office violated Washington State’s Public Records Act when it refused to answer Wash Lite Board member Lori Shavlik’s public records request for over 13 months.

Similarly, in January 2018, Snohomish County Superior Judge Cindy Larsen held in part in the Gold Bar Reporter’s favor. In Block v Gold Bar, the City of Gold Bar violated the Gold Bar Reporter’s rights to access public records for withholding hundreds of public record for over five years. The City of Gold Bar’s penalties just on one case exceeds $1,000,000.00 for public records it withheld for over five years.

However, without reviewing 3000 plus records, Judge Larsen also ruled that over 3000 were not public records. Why, because those records involve Judge Cindy Larsen’s husband, a Snohomish County Sheriff’s Officer named Jeff Ross. In 2008, Jeff Ross assisted Gold Bar’s then Mayor Crystal Hill Pennington with covering up the City of Gold Bar’s sabotaging the City’s water system. Although these criminal acts amounted to domestic terrorism, a federal crime, that Jeff Ross and Crystal Hill had a duty to report to the FBI, they decided to cover up it for money.

Our readers should be happy to know that because of Judge Cindy Larsen’s husband Jeff Ross assisted Gold Bar then Mayor Crystal Hill ( nee Berg, convicted of bank fraud 2000, 2005) in covering up Karl Marjerle’s sabotage of the City’s water system. Instead of investigating or reporting Marjerle crimes to the FBI, the City of Gold Bar gave him money, and Aaron Reardon managed to get Mayor Grant Degginger to give Marjerle a new job with the City of Bellevue in exchange for his silence about Crystal Hill’s bank fraud convictions.

Because the Gold Bar Reporter was denied access to public records for over five years, a per day penalty applies, as denial of the record when requested is a per se violation of RCW 42.56. (Unjustified failure to provide the record by the expiration of the estimate is a denial of access to the record, according to the Washington State Attorney General).

In addition to the fraud above, Gold Bar’s Mayor Joe Beavers gave Karl Marjerle another $12,000.00 check to Marjerle after he extorted the City again in July 2012. Beavers falsified accounting records claiming that the City owed Karl Marjerle because the Washington State Auditor said so. However, the Gold Bar Reporter requested State Auditor records and none existed to support that the Auditor ever told Beavers that he had to give Marjerle another $12,000.00. Just another racketeering extortion scheme to hide Beavers and Hill’s racketeering crimes committed against the taxpayers of Gold Bar.

Former Gold Bar Mayor Joe Beavers admitted in his deposition that he committed felonies by removing public records from the City of Gold Bar. The cost to the City of Gold Bar as of today exceeds $1.5 Million and tolling.

Last month Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office released email communication between Prosecutor Sara Di Vittorio and Joe Beavers documenting that Snohomish County was also a repository for email communication between Gold Bar’s former Mayor Crystal Hill ( convicted of bank fraud in 2000, and 2005) and John Pennington ( terminated for criminally harassing the Gold Bar Reporter while inside Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management).

Crystal Hill Pennington was using aliases of “Chris Hill” and “Crystal Berg” to cover up her past criminal history.

As my readers can imagine, we here at the Gold Bar Reporter were ecstatic to learn that Ms. Shavlik finally held Snohomish County Prosecutors Office partially responsible for violating the civil rights of Washington State taxpayers.

Ms. Shavlik is also suing Snohomish County for malicious prosecution, and is headed for trial this summer in US Federal District Court, Seattle. The Gold Bar Reporter will be in the courtroom and requested permission to video tape the entire trial. Stay tuned to the Gold Bar Reporter as it will be live streamed Shavlik v Snohomish County et al in to U Tube.

Injustice for one, is injustice for all

“When I see a wrong I cannot turn a blind eye. I cannot in good conscience sit idle when I see a person’s civil rights being violated. I was not raised to think of myself alone.”

Such is the case in Shavlik’s fight for justice amongst so many government criminals.

For Ms. Shavlik, it all started when Monroe Public Schools Superintendent, Ken Hoover, failed to report nor investigate the sexual assault of her daughter inside Monroe Washington High School. Not only did Ken Hoover refuse to report the rape of a student, but Ken Hoover went out of his way to violate the Title VII rights of the rape victim by expelling the victim from school, while allowing the predator to remain not only at school, but on the Monroe High School football team. 2008.

Ms. Shavlik sought help from an alleged victims advocacy group titled Dawson Place, and took on the City of Monroe. As a result, Monroe High School was cited in Olympia for violating the Titel VI rights of the victim.

Instead of Superintendent Ken Hoover being fired for conduct unbecoming of any public officer, Monroe public officials felt the best way to deal with the very vocal Ms. Shavlik and the rape victim was to have Cities Insurance Company of Washington (CIAW) surveillance 24/7 on the rape victim herself and Ms. Shavlik.

In one public email received from Monroe Washington Public Schools, the school administrative assistant even managed to obtain medical files on the rape victim herself. Why, because the school knew it was being sued for violating Title VII rights of the rape victim.

“Leadership by deception and misrepresentation isn’t leadership. It’s fraud.”

What we learned over the last month is that Ken Hoover was no outstanding citizen, but had in fact fathered an illegitimate child. A fact Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe knew, but instead of prosecuting Ken Hoover for dereliction of his official duties, violating the civil rights of a student, Snohomish County Prosecutors Mark Roe, Francesca Youdavi, and Adam Cornell enlisted the assistance of a known Snohomish County Brady Cop, David Fontenot, to trump up criminal charges of Ms. Shavlik, and obtain a restraining order against the rape victim herself.

Brady Cops are defined by our US Supreme Court holding in Brady v Maryland:

The Supreme Court held that withholding exculpatory evidence violates due process “where the evidence is material either to guilt or to punishment.” The court determined that under Maryland law, the withheld evidence could not have exculpated the defendant but was material to his level of punishment. Thus, the Maryland Court of Appeals’ ruling was affirmed.

A defendant’s request for “Brady disclosure” refers to the holding of the Brady case, and the numerous state and federal cases that interpret its requirement that the prosecution disclose material exculpatory evidence to the defense. Exculpatory evidence is “material” if “there is a reasonable probability that his conviction or sentence would have been different had these materials been disclosed.”^[2] Brady evidence includes statements of witnesses or physical evidence that conflicts with the prosecution’s witnesses^[3] and evidence that could allow the defense to impeach the credibility of a prosecution witness.^[4]

Source Wikipedia

According to public records, the rape victim went to get court seeking a protection order against the perpetrator who following the rape was stalking and criminally harasser her at the Monroe High School. This after she was sexually assaulted.

Instead of Snohomish County Everett District Court giving the restraining to the rape victim, they granted it to the perpetrator. Why was something we just recently discovered thank to the accidental release of Court files.

What the Ms. Shavlik and the rape victim didn’t know was the perpetrator knew that Monroe School Superintendent Ken Hoover had fathered an illegitimate child, and had an incentive to assist the perpetrator in covering up the rape. We’re still researching the age of the mother of the child, so stay tuned, we’re just about ready to shine some much needed sunlight on this story, and we promise it’s going to be a really juicy, as juicy as a Florida orange, election year here in Snohomish County.

Just to show my readers how far Snohomish County Prosecutor’s office went in helping Monroe Schools cover up the rape of a child, we repost the original Dawson Place story.

Keep in mind, Dawson Place claims to be a place for rape victims, but refused to help in this case. Why, because Dawson Place is not a victims advocacy group, its a place where Snohomish County can hide public records, and hide which cases to prosecute and which cases not to prosecute.

After Ms. Shavlik and Arthur West filed suit against Dawson Place, Mark Roe suddenly announced his early retirement. But not before Roe threw his support behind another cockroach named Adam Cornell.. .stay tuned, we have some very juicy pictures to share with our readers on Prosecutor Adam Cornell, lets just say, the Gold Bar Reporter has now dubbed Adam Cornel as “Lothario Adam Cockroach Cornell.’

Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe’s crimes against county taxpayers, forces his early retirement

October 20, 2017 by goldbarreporter 4 Comments (Edit)

Mark Roe Pic

Snohomish County Prosecutor forced into early retirement after public records reveal that he and the County have been misappropriating public funds, operating a secret government funded company “Dawson Place” set up by Snohomish County Prosecutors’ Mark Roe, Adam Cornell, Seth Dawson, and Janice Ellis ( Ellis is now serving as Snohomish County Superior Court Judge) with 15 Million dollars of taxpayers monies.

Purpose for creating Dawson Place is alleged to be to help children who are victims of sexual and physical abuse. However, that’s not what it’s being used for. Dawson Place is being used to hide law enforcement investigations, hide government accountability, illegal track citizens, illegally access health records on citizens who question government officials, and hide public records to evade accountability.

In 1972, Washington State’s Legislature enacted RCW 42.56 ( Public Records Act) with this preamble:

The people of this state do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies that serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may maintain control over the instruments that they have created. This chapter shall be liberally construed and its exemptions narrowly construed to promote this public policy and to assure that the public interest will be fully protected. In the event of conflict between the provisions of this chapter and any other act, the provisions of this chapter shall govern.

In several cases, Snohomish County Prosecutor Adam Cornell was caught performing investigations ( law enforcement function) subjecting the County to gross 1983 violations and violating Our Court’s holding in Kalina v. Fletcher, 522 U.S. 118 (1997) ( Prosecutor’s who act as a detective/investigator lose any immunity they claim they have)

Bigger problem for those of us who care about the rights of the accused, hiding “exculpatory evidence” in violation of Our Court’s Holding in Brady v. Maryland – Wikipedia

In a nutshell, the Supreme Court held that withholding exculpatory evidence violates due process “where the evidence is material either to guilt or to punishment”; and the court determined that under Maryland state law the withheld evidence could not have exculpated the defendant but was material to the level of punishment he would be given. Hence the Maryland Court of Appeals’ ruling was affirmed.

A defendant’s request for “Brady disclosure” refers to the holding of the Brady case, and the numerous state and federal cases that interpret its requirement that the prosecution disclose material exculpatory evidence to the defense. Exculpatory evidence is “material” if “there is a reasonable probability that his conviction or sentence would have been different had these materials been disclosed”.^[2] Brady evidence includes statements of witnesses or physical evidence that conflicts with the prosecution’s witnesses,^[3] and evidence that could allow the defense to impeach the credibility of a prosecution witness.

Dawson Place, scamming victims, and scamming the Washington State taxpayers

On February 16, 2018, King County held that Snohomish County violated Washington State’s Public Records Act, when it refused to answer Wash Lite Board member Lori Shavlik’s right to access public records. Dawson Place

So what happens when the government is funneling public money to an alleged non-profit, like Dawson Place, and then claims it doesn’t have to comply with Washington State’s Open Government laws, RCW Chapter 42.56 RCW_ PUBLIC RECORDS ACT?

It’s called hiding public records to ensure criminal convictions, and cherry picking criminal prosecutions to hide crime stats. In the case of Lori Shavlik, it equates to criminal racketeering as political favors to retaliate against persons who question government officers, like Mark Roe and Monroe School Superintendent Ken Hoover.

Rape in Monroe Washington High School, ignored by Dawson Place

When a Snohomish County resident’s daughter was violently raped and assaulted at the Monroe Washington High School in 2007, she did what any mother would do, she demanded justice and sought help for her daughter. One such place the mother sought help from was Dawson Place ( Dawson Advocacy Services)

Dawson Place alleges to be a 501(3)(c) but yet it was created by Prosecutors Seth Dawson ( hence how it got its name), Adam Cornell, and Mark Roe, and receives 77 % of its money from the public funds, and the Board is controlled by Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe and Sheriff Ty Trenary.

Instead of calling the police department and reporting the crime of rape, Monroe High School’s Superintendent Ken Hoover covered it up. Why, because reporting the crime of rape doesn’t sell houses.

The mother filed complaints against Monroe High School and received and a favorable Administrative Law Judge’s finding that Monroe High School violated her daughter’s Title VIII rights.

Meanwhile, the mother is asking Dawson Place for resources for her daughter, little did she know that the people who were taking her criminal complaints against those same public officials from the Monroe High School at Dawson Place were in fact Snohomish County Sheriff Officers and Prosecutors. Conflict fudgamagic?

Recently, I had the pleasure of listening to a tape recorded interview with a member of Dawson Place who openly admitted when asked who the Dawson Place advocates were, her response was “Dawson Place doesn’t have any advocates. Advocates are the Sheriff and Prosecutors.”

So this begs one question: how can a company allege its a non-profit be receiving millions of taxpayer money and have government officers ( more likely than not on taxpayer time) run a non-profit?

Instead of helping this victim, Dawson Place along with Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Mark Roe and Adam Cornell conspired to harm her and trumped up arson charges on her using one known Brady Cop ( and a personal friend to Mark Roe’s who openly smokes pot with Mark Roe inside Snohomish County 7th Floor Public Offices. See http://snocoreporter.com/mark-roe-turn-rock-music-put-bong-follow-brady-v-maryland/ )

Over the last year, I’ve gotten to know the mom as a loving mother, a victim of Snohomish County Prosecutors Mark Roe, and Adam Cornell’s malicious prosecution racketeering scheme fraudulently charging her with arson to shut her up for speaking out about the corruption, a friend, a freedom fighter and person who doesn’t take no for an answer.

These attributes make her target for Snohomish County Prosecutor Gang Stalking Network. A network operating from Snohomish County Prosecutor and Sheriff’s offices. A network from public agency titled “Dawson Advocacy Services” also doing business as “Dawson Place.”

But Prosecutor Mark Roe got caught, resulting in his early retirement for misappropriation of public assets

Lori Shavlik and Arthur West sued Dawson Place, claiming that its a “public agency” – West/Shavlik v Dawson Place, Snohomish County Superior Court

On Thursday October 18, 2017, Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe announced his resignation as Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office effective December 31, 2018. Mr. Roe’s resignation comes immediately following a lawsuit involving his misuse of public assets and resources to support a non-profit group, Dawson Place.

Two weeks ago, Mark Roe’s was placed under oath, forcing his under the oath admission that he violated Washington State’s Public Disclosure laws, operated an alleged non-profit , Dawson Place, while being paid by Snohomish County taxpayers.

Dawson Place, a public agency hiding exculpatory evidence to ensure convictions

When a Prosecutor assumes duties of an office s/he is sworn in to uphold the laws of Washington, and both the U.S. and Washington State’s Constitution. From Mark Roe’s deposition in West/Shavlik v Dawson Place, one has to wonder if Mark Roe failed Constitutional law or simply a criminal in a suit believing himself to be above of the laws of Washington. We believe it’s a little of both.

Washington State, Prosecutor’s Duties ( law Mark Roe are sworn in to uphold, but not only ignored, Mark Roe also went out of his way to violate laws he was sworn in to uphold)

RCW 36.27.020- Prosecutor’s Duties.

The prosecuting attorney shall:

(1) Be legal adviser of the legislative authority, giving it his or her written opinion when required by the legislative authority or the chairperson thereof touching any subject which the legislative authority may be called or required to act upon relating to the management of county affairs;

(2) Be legal adviser to all county and precinct officers and school directors in all matters relating to their official business, and when required draw up all instruments of an official nature for the use of said officers;

(3) Appear for and represent the state, county, and all school districts subject to the supervisory control and direction of the attorney general in all criminal and civil proceedings in which the state or the county or any school district in the county may be a party;

(4) Prosecute all criminal and civil actions in which the state or the county may be a party, defend all suits brought against the state or the county, and prosecute actions upon forfeited recognizances and bonds and actions for the recovery of debts, fines, penalties, and forfeitures accruing to the state or the county;

(5) Attend and appear before and give advice to the grand jury when cases are presented to it for consideration and draw all indictments when required by the grand jury;

(6) Institute and prosecute proceedings before magistrates for the arrest of persons charged with or reasonably suspected of felonies when the prosecuting attorney has information that any such offense has been committed and the prosecuting attorney shall for that purpose attend when required by them if the prosecuting attorney is not then in attendance upon the superior court;

(7) Carefully tax all cost bills in criminal cases and take care that no useless witness fees are taxed as part of the costs and that the officers authorized to execute process tax no other or greater fees than the fees allowed by law;

(8) Receive all cost bills in criminal cases before district judges at the trial of which the prosecuting attorney was not present, before they are lodged with the legislative authority for payment, whereupon the prosecuting attorney may retax the same and the prosecuting attorney must do so if the legislative authority deems any bill exorbitant or improperly taxed;

(9) Present all violations of the election laws which may come to the prosecuting attorney’s knowledge to the special consideration of the proper jury;

(10) Examine once in each year the official bonds of all county and precinct officers and report to the legislative authority any defect in the bonds of any such officer;

(11) Seek to reform and improve the administration of criminal justice and stimulate efforts to remedy inadequacies or injustice in substantive or procedural law;

(12) Participate in the statewide sexual assault kit tracking system established in RCW 43.43.545 for the purpose of tracking the status of all sexual assault kits connected to criminal investigations and prosecutions within the county. Prosecuting attorneys shall begin full participation in the system according to the implementation schedule established by the Washington state patrol.

Not only did Mark Roe violate basic laws regarding his conduct while serving as a Prosecutor, he brags about his crimes against taxpayers.

Perhaps Mark Roe also missed “misappropriation” of public resources section of Washington’s Revised Code:

RCW 42.20.070 -Misappropriation and falsification of accounts by public officer.

Every public officer, and every other person receiving money on behalf or for or on account of the people of the state or of any department of the state government or of any bureau or fund created by law in which the people are directly or indirectly interested, or for or on account of any county, city, town, or any school, diking, drainage, or irrigation district, who:

(1) Appropriates to his or her own use or the use of any person not entitled thereto, without authority of law, any money so received by him or her as such officer or otherwise; or

(2) Knowingly keeps any false account, or makes any false entry or erasure in any account, of or relating to any money so received by him or her; or

(3) Fraudulently alters, falsifies, conceals, destroys, or obliterates any such account; or

(4) Willfully omits or refuses to pay over to the state, its officer or agent authorized by law to receive the same, or to such county, city, town, or such school, diking, drainage, or irrigation district or to the proper officer or authority empowered to demand and receive the same, any money received by him or her as such officer when it is a duty imposed upon him or her by law to pay over and account for the same, is guilty of a class B felony and shall be punished by imprisonment in a state correctional facility for not more than fifteen years.

The above RCW clearly defines what a Snohomish County Prosecutor’s role is, and does not include acting as President or a Board member for Dawson Place.

Once West/ Shavlik confronted Mark Roe with his criminal activity, and being placed under investigation for his illegal activities, Mark Roe announced his retirement effective December 31, 2018. Why, because Mark Roe knows several citizens are planning to Recall him for his misappropriation of public resources to run Dawson Place (Mark Roe’s self proclaimed little fort).

Gold Bar public records reveal criminal conspiracy

Ragonesi Soto

Shannon Ragonesi Ann Marie Soto

In late November 2017, a Snohomish County insider called and said ” Ann Marie Soto and Shannon Ragonesi met with one of your witnesses in your federal suit. In exchange for turning on you, the witness wanted her criminal conviction and outstanding warrant for animal abuse to be dismissed…”

This bribery scheme in exchange for trying to get the Gold Bar Reporter charged with a crime. However, the witness had nothing of value to give them, but attorney Shannon Ragonesi and Ann Marie Soto did offer to help the witness try to get obtain a restraining order against the Gold Bar Reporter as they did with John Pennington and Crystal Hill Pennington ( read below).

What my readers should know is that the witness described above tried to extort the Gold Bar Reporter into giving her money and a car during the summer of 2017, and lied time and time again about having cancer ( to obtain donations), as such, the Gold Bar Reporter cut all ties with her. A bigger problem for the co-conspirators is the witness has outstanding warrant for her arrest and is a convicted criminal, while the Gold Bar Reporter has no criminal history whatsoever.

Attorney Shannon Ragonesi has been sanctioned by judges all over the US for lying on court documents and filing frivolous motions. https://abovethelaw.com/2013/04/city-gets-benchslap-with-a-rolled-up-newspaper-over-dead-dog/

Ms. Ragonesi’s main contractor is the Association of Washington Cities ( a for profit company violating Sherman Anti-Trust laws), and she brags that she can fix any case because of her personal involvement with the WSBA and Judges like Jeffrey Ramsdalle, Judge Beth Andrus and Richard Okrent.

More on Association of Washington Cities crimes against taxpayers soon. But a good read on AWC’s felonious crimes against taxpayers was outlined in link below:

https://goldbarreporter.org/tag/snohomish-county-attorney-jason-schwarz/

18 U.S. Code § 241 – Conspiracy against rights

If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same;

They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.

Public monies, resources, and attorneys, are used, such meetings and records as a result of that meeting, become public records

While in law school, I often ran into kids whose mommy and daddy spent hundreds of thousands of dollars supporting them through law school. Kids who had absolutely nothing of value to add to classes, and who would drop a class when the professor demanded Socratic in person, in class debate.

I remember thinking, ” oh boy, this kid next to me has no idea how to effectively communicate and has no common sense. As a nation, we’re in trouble.”

Kenyon Disend, crimes against Gold Bar taxpayers

In 1992, Michael Kenyon, a Kelso Washington city attorney, met John E. Pennington, who according to a source, was introduced to him by Senator Jennifer Dunn. John E. Pennington, a transporting of narcotics, from Kelso to Bellingham ( where he met coffee Barista Lori Batiot, aka Hoffer/Harris), using his coffee supply company. Transportation of narcotics usually comes with a price, aka criminal charges, so John E Pennington saw an uncontested Washington State House of Representative Seat, and decided to run.

At the time he ran for office, John E. Pennington was the only suspect in the rape and kidnapping and attempted murder of a five year girl in Cowlitz County. In 2013, Cowlitz County lead detective Maurice Saxon said ” John Pennington is the man who raped that girl, and I have been following him since.”

From my past articles, noting that I have never been sued, my readers can piece together why Michael Kenyon and his associate Ann Marie Soto are so eager to protect John E. Pennington. So much so, that last week after requesting access to City of Duvall public records over five years ago, the City of Duvall finally released emails documenting that John E Pennington, a citizen of Duvall, was allowed to participate in whether or not a police report ( involving John Pennington) was in fact public under Washington State’s Public Records Act.

Ms. Soto and Commander Hert.

On the incident report stamped Jun 18 @2:02 (SGT Sanders) there is a single missed redaction. Paragraph one of the narrative beginning with “On June 12 [redacted]…” has my name redacted throughout, HOWEVER there is a missed redaction where my name appears in full in the last paragraph.

My name is redacted under RCW 42.56.240 / 10.97.080 everywhere else, so this is a simple miss that needs to be corrected prior to any release to ensure consistency.

Thank you.

Good afternoon, Ms. Soto.

I am following up to see if you have received my time sensitive request below, regarding the single missed redaction I brought to your attention this morning, prior to the releasing of any documents to Ms. Block.

Of importance is that this particular document actually should fall under the domain of exemption of non-conviction criminal information and should not be released at all. It is clearly part of a larger single file (City of Duvall CR007663D and CR007664D, dismissed with prejudice May 28, 2009) that is within that exemption and easily manages to identify me as part of that particular case that meets the exemption.

Irrespective, however, is that the document still contains my fully identifiable first and last name, where other sections of that document redact it, clearly violating privacy concerns under the RCW 42.56.240 and RCW 10.97.080 as identified elsewhere in the documents.

Thank you!

John E. Pennington

Mr. Pennington,

The City made the redaction you mentioned below prior to release to Ms. Block. The redactions were made in compliance with the Public Records Act, the Criminal Records Privacy Act and Bainbridge Island Police Guild v. City of Puyallup and the City considers this matter now closed. Thank you.

John Pennington’s criminal assault of a 3rd trimester pregnant Duvall City Council woman was NOT DISMISSED with prejudice because the Gold Bar Reporter obtained a copy of the May 29, 2009 audio from the hearing. The hearing confirmed my previous story; https://goldbarreporter.org/tag/sandra-meadowcraft/

Obvious questions like who tipped of non-City of Duvall employee John Pennington that the Gold Bar Reporter requested criminal reports involving him? Why would a City attorney violate the Public Records Act ( a felony in Washington State to conceal records) when in fact Our Supreme Court already held that police reports are not ” redactable” ?

Besides the fact that John E Pennington, a man diagnosed as a sociopath by King County Dr. Hedricks, John Pennington was being charged with violently assaulting a 3rd trimester pregnant Duvall Washington City Council-woman, is giving City of Gold Bar/Kenyon Disend attorney Ann Marie Soto and Duvall Police Chief Cary Hert demands to “redact” his name from police reports. Of even more interest to me is that the fact that the email’s metadata documents that John Pennington and Ann Marie have a ‘private chat room” with 20 other members, operating from the law firm of Kenyon Disend.

Soto

Ann Marie Soto is a contract attorney for the City of Gold Bar, employed by Kenyon Disend. Keep in mind the above email string is related to a police report filed against John Pennington for domestic abuse in in Duvall, Washington.

In 2016, after having ample evidence that attorney Michael Kenyon is guilty of racketeering, and countless land scams inside North Bend and Cle Elm Washington, the Gold Bar Reporter published a story titled ” Michael Kenyon’s Dirty Bag of Secrets, Part II.”

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

After attorney Ann Marie Soto was caught via public records conspiring to harm the Gold Bar Reporter, she was sued for racketeering, has been basically constructively demoted to a public records officer at the law firm of Kenyon Disend, and virtually unemployable( outside of Kenyon Disend) as a result.

Perhaps this is the main reason why Ms. Soto is trying to fight her way out of a paper bag by conspiring with convicted criminals on November 20, 2017. Sadly, Ms. Soto placed her criminal racketeering crimes against the Gold Bar Reporter inside Gold Bar public records.

two is company, three’s a crowd

Trupin

As a feminist, Rachel Turpin’s above picture is highly offensive, especially coming from a woman who works for Michael Kenyon ( Kenyon Disend), who has never promoted a female inside his office other than his first year law school graduate daughter.

From July 2016 to April 23, 2017, John Pennington also received criminal racketeering assistance from another Kenyon Disend’s attorney, Rachel Turpin. Public records from the City of Duvall document that attorney Rachel Turpin represented the City of Duvall in a law suit filed for access to public records.

When public money is being used, every single record received, obtained, reviewed, edited, created, sent is a public record.

In July 2016, John E Pennington ( terminated from FEMA and Snohomish County for conduct unbecoming of a public officer) and Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg, convicted of bank fraud 2000, 2005, North Carolina and Snohomish County, respectively) walked into Pierce County District Court attempting to obtain a prior restraint against the Gold Bar Reporter’s investigation and exposé on publication of their countless racketeering crimes.

Remember, Rachel Turpin works for Kenyon Disend providing legal services to the City of Duvall. When attempting to obtain a prior restraint against the Gold Bar Reporter, John Pennington made an attempt to serve the Gold Bar Reporter while the reporter was out of the country. Unable to serve, John Pennington and Crystal Hill Pennington contacted Kenyon Disend/Duvall city attorney Rachel Turpin to lend a hand to the criminal racketeering Enterprise attempts to perfect service.

In early October 2016, the Gold Bar Reporter received court issued subpoenas to depose two Brady Cops ( law enforcement employees) from Duvall, Washington, Shelley Rowe and Lori Batiot. Rachel Turpin decided the best way to handle this was to get the Gold Bar Reporter charged with violating a restraining order. However, she needed to get the Gold Bar Reporter served.

On October 12, 2016, Rachel Turpin sent the Gold Bar Reporter an email asking if she would be wiling to hold deposition of Duvall officers inside Duvall Washington’s police department. The Gold Bar Reporter set depositions on October 16, 2016.

In July of 2016, attorney Rachel Turpin wrote the Gold Bar Reporter stating ” I will no longer communicate with you via email only by USPS.” So what changed in October 2016 that Rachel Turpin all of the sudden communicated via email?

It’s called racketeering and conspiracy.

On October 26, 2016, John E Pennington walked into Pierce County District Court to obtain a prior restraint on free speech against the Gold Bar Reporter. The Judge assigned was Pro Tem Judge Chen Weller. Ms. Weller is a high ranking member with the Washington State Bar Association ( WSBA). Public email from Snohomish County Washington confirm beyond any shadow of a doubt that lead WSBA Office of Disciplinary Counsel attorney Linda Eide was assisting John Pennington, with conspiring to harm the Gold Bar’s WSBA license. As a result, the WSBA, Linda Eide, John and Crystal Hill Pennington are being sued for racketeering… a new suit is on its way for 2018.

Judge Weller was asked by Linda Eide to “pull one for the team and give John E Pennington and Crystal Hill Pennington a restraining order.” On October 26, 2016, Judge Chen Weller, at the bequest of WSBA lead attorney Linda Eide, obtained a forged court order ( see below) and issued a temporary restraining order against the Gold Bar Reporter. Why, is something that I didn’t know until the Washington State Patrol released public records.

On October 10, 2016, John Pennington forged a court order and managed to get his friend to put his forgery inside the NCIC, LlNYX and ACCESS databases weeks prior to obtaining Judge Chen Weller’s signature. Once Snohomish County and Kenyon Disend became aware of John and Crystal Hill Pennington’s forgery scheme, the Enterprise requested and received the assistance of Peirce County Judge Chen Weller to sign the order, thus trying to cover up the fact that Penningtons’ forged court order was already placed inside NCIC weeks prior to Judge Chen Weller signed it. Racketeering.

The Gold Bar Reporter sued the Judge and Pierce County settled the suit and vacated Penningtons’ forged court order for fraud ( see below).

This brings me back to why all of the sudden Duvall city attorney Rachel Turpin was so desperate to get me to hold depositions inside the City of Duvall police station. Ms. Turpin knew that the Penningtons’ had already managed to get a Brady Cop to enter his forged court order into the NCIC, LlYNX, and ACCESS data bases on October 10, 2016. Ms. Turpin’s goal was to get the Gold Bar Reporter charged with violating the forged restraining order, an order that until recently, the Gold Bar Reporter had no idea was placed into NCIC, ACCESS weeks prior to having a judge sign it.

John and Crystal Hill Pennington’s forgery was nicely outlined in my past reports below. Both John and Crystal Hill Pennington are being sued for racketeering.
