“Leadership by deception isn’t leadership. It’s fraud.” ― DaShanne Stokes
Last week, the Seattle Times published another article of half truths, without ever conducting any research involving Supreme Court Justice Mary Fairhurst’s most recent threats to reformists inside the Washington State Bar Association Board of Governors.
Some residents in Washington State may not know that the Washington State Bar Association is a private organization, just like the National Rifle Association.

The Seattle Times incorrectly wrote ” Anticipating a potential legal challenge to the collection of mandatory fees from attorneys, state Supreme Court Chief Justice Mary Fairhurst issued an order directing the state bar association’s governing board to put a hold on proposed bylaw amendments.”
Gold Bar Reporter sent correction request to Seattle Times, falsely claiming that no one has challenged the Washington State Bar Association’s authority after US Supreme Court held associations cannot compel membership.
What the Seattle Times Editor Mike Carter knew was that several Washington State Bar Association members had in fact made a collateral attack against an out of control Washington State Bar Association. John Scannell, Steve Eugster, Sarah Ferguson, Robert Caruso, and Anne Block do in fact have lawsuits challenging the Bar’s assertion that it can compel membership inside a private organization and whether a private organization has any compelling interest in regulating the practice of law.
Perhaps the Times Editor Mike Carter is suffering from dementia? because when we contacted him about the challenges to the Washington State Bar Association authority herein, Seattle Times Editor wrote ” who cares?”
A few months ago, reformists took over the Washington State Bar Association’s Board of Governors. For those of us who have been involved in helping stop Guardian Scammers like Longyear, Joseph Nappi Jr and Lin O’Dell, and incompetent lawyers like Tom Cox, Jason Schwartz, and Phil Sayles helping the prosecutor’s office with fixing cases against the accused, this was very good news to any of us who believe that the Bar has become a political machine to go after its political foes, and has no interest in disciplining lawyer who steal from their clients or throw client clients under the bus to gain contracts for public defenses from the Prosecutor’s Office.
If the Washington State had an interest in disciplining its members who steal from their clients, the Bar would have taken action against Lin O’Dell after Judge Patrick Monasmith filed a bar complaint against Lin O’Dell for stealing from her client, using a convicted killer, Mark Plivilech, to intimidate Washington’s elderly inside their home.
Here’s a couple of articles, the Gold Bar Reporter wrote on Washington State Bar hearing officer Lin O’Dell’s theft of Paula Fowler’s trust accounts.

The Seattle Times incorrectly wrote that no one has challenged the Washington State Bar’s authority as a private organization when in fact many cases are now pending in the 9th Circuit, John Scannell v WSBA et al, Block v WSBA et al, Steve Eugster v WSBA et al.
Interesting to note that because the US Supreme Court accepted cert against the North Dakota Bar, the 9th Circuit has postponed oral arguments on my case now five times in Block v WSBA et al, and just recently set oral arguments February 2019. Obviously this comes after the US Supreme Court makes its decision in the North Dakota Bar case.
If the Supreme Court held that every gun owner in Washington State had to obtain a license from the NRA to possess a gun, what kind of outrage there would be from the public over such a ludicrous order. There’s no difference. A private organization has no compelling interest in regulating gun licensees, nor does the private Washington State Bar Association have any compelling interest in regulating the practice of law.
Washington State’s number one activist Tim Eyman might agree with me, not because I agree with his politics, but because he like me has become a target for an out of control Washington State Bar Association. Although he might argue, it’s just Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson. I’d disagree; the center of the racket is a private Washington State Bar Association, not accountable to the people of Washington, using the political machine of the WSBA to defame or harass anyone who speaks out against corruption in Washington State agencies.
The Gold Bar Reporter will not stand idle while a private organization ( or an agency) attacks anyone’s First Amendment protected activity. The First Amendment must be protected against all invaders, foreign and domestic, and the WSBA is no exception to that rule.
It’s time to take the practice of law out of the political hands of a private organization and place it inside a state regulatory agency.
The Washington State Bar Association Office of Disciplinary Counsel are proven failures (thieves), run by thugs with ties to organized crime, like Paula Littlewood, Linda Eide, and Doug Ende. When the reformists moved to fire Ms. Littlewood, her friends inside the Washington State Supreme Court ordered the Board of Governors to halt all reforms and further ordered the Board not to fire Paula Littlewood.
The Supreme Court’s Order above was issued outside of an Open Public Meeting, spitting on the will of Washington State’s taxpayers and blatant disregard for Chapter 42.30 RCW
