Brownback among McCain’s guests

mccainbrownback.jpgOfficially, John McCain’s GOP gathering at his Sedona, Ariz., ranch over the weekend was social rather than political. “He barbecued ribs all night,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” But the event must have seemed like a weird version of “The Bachelor,” given that so many of the 20 or so guests are known to be contenders for the vice presidential spot, including former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Kansas’ Sen. Sam Brownback, as well as Graham. McCain is said to be a gas griller who keeps his baby-back pork ribs moist by brushing on lemon juice.

    Perhaps they talked about John Hagee, or perhaps they talked about the real reason, and continuing justification, for their Misbegotten War. Whatever the original reason and the current rationale (two different things, I presume), someone please tell me and the American people.

    From the Washington Post this a.m.: Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan writes in a new memoir that the Iraq war was sold to the American people with a sophisticated “political propaganda campaign” led by President Bush and aimed at “manipulating sources of public opinion” and “downplaying the major reason for going to war.”

    So . . . he lied?

    McCain’s veep candidate would likely ascend to the presidency before 2012. (Yeah, his mother is a feisty 96-year-old, but when John Sidney McCain, Junior was the Arizona senator’s age he’d been dead for two years.)

    So the person who’d be one heartbeat (or melanoma) away from the Oval Office would be whom?

    The governor from Stepford, Mittens Romney? Grandson of a polygamist, lifelong cult member?

    Or Florida Gay Gov. Charlie Crist? Prepare for a bimboy eruption, but he’ll nail the spray-on tan vote.

    Boy Governor Bobby Jindal, perhaps the most honest politician in Louisiana history? (Which doesn’t amount to much.) If McCain really thinks he can attack Obama’s “youth and inexperience,” Jindal negates the argument out of the chute.

    Sam (the Sham) Brownback? Why do I keep wondering if he spent all his time at McCain’s barbecue on his knees, altar-boy style?

    Lindsey Graham? Lead-prosecutor in the Senate during Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial? Yeah, the Democrats will vote for him and Republic Party will be reminded that he lost that case! Had the splooge-stained dress and everything and ended up like Hamilton Berger versus Perry Mason!

    McCain is giving his v.p. prospects the Kansas acid test “Who would you rather have over for a BBQ!” Meanwhile Kansans hold their breaths in anticipation of the winner.

    Whoever McCain selects, I hope they both can explain why we’re in Iraq, and how that rationale connects with why we went in (WMD?).

    Republicans and Bush Apologists like to say, “Forget why we went in. We’re there. Deal with it.”

    Ken Lay wished the same thing. He really wanted us to forget how he f**ked Enrol, its employees and retirees. But we didn’t. We hold people accountable. It’s called justice. Bush, Rove and Cheney, et al., might pardon themselves from jail time, but we will hold them accountable.

    I don’t believe that McCain is capable of making a rationale and truthful explanation of why we are in Iraq. The US War on Iraq is irrational.

    HEY FELLOW EAGLE BLOGGERS:

    ISN’T FREEDOM OF SPEECH WONDERFUL!!! WE ARE ALL LIVING IN EXCITING & GLORIOUS TIMES!!! I WANT TO SINCERELY THANK THE EGLE CURRENT & FORMER PUBLISHERS – PAM SIDDALL & LOU HELMAN FOR ALLOWING CITIZNES TO POST ENTRIES ON THIS BLOG.

    When I first started networking with local GOP politicians at the Wichita Pachyderm Club two years ago, my State Rep. Mario Goico (District 100) told me that there is a common saying among state legislators in Topeka: “ The issue is never the issue” which means that cynical politicians and journalists dwell on certain superficial issues that can never be resolved or fight over petty issues that easily be resolved instead of openly fighting over important issues that can be resolved such as government ethics reform or political leadership battles.

    Once again the only thing that the national liberal & conservative press will discuss about Sebelius is abortion or that she is a rising star in the Democratic National Party because she was a Democrat governor re-elected in a GOP state. Both the liberal & conservative national press are too ashamed to report on the real issue which is that Governor Sebelius is a product of the bipartisan corrupt, fascist nepotistic elitist political, judicial & media establishment in Kansas that has committed, condoned & covered up human rights atrocities. The code of silence by the respective state party chairmen, GOP Kris Kobach (Rhodes scholar & constitutional law professor at UMKC) and Democrat Lawrence Gates (Johnson County Small Law Firm Attorney whose former partner is Congressman Dennis Moore) is especially reprehensible. I certainly hope that Libertarian Presidential Nominee Bob Barr from Atlanta reads this blog and actually comes to Kansas to speak with upper middle pro-life glass Christian Republicans who have been the victims of human rights atrocities committed by prosecutors working for Democrat Nola Foulston or greedy court-appointed forensic psychologists and mediators. These criminal acts have been condoned by GOP district court judges who claim to be conservative, family value pro life Christians.

    The only real issue is the ability of the corrupt elitist nepotistic political & judiciary establishment to encourage employees of law enforcement agencies and child protective agencies to commit criminal and unethical acts that are condoned by the state regulatory professional licensing boards and never investigated by Kansas journalists. In Kansas power & status is measured by the ability to appropriate tax payer funds to select non-profits & construction contractors, the ability to selectively prosecute and adjudicate so that the guilty go unpunished and the victims who complain loudly are destroyed and the ability to publish propaganda to support certain politicians or to selectively print stories about scandals to destroy an elected official who attempts any type of reform.

    This blog is essential to protecting our civil rights. Just for fun go to Google and do 3 searches “ameridad pilshaw” “kiakahahaha Hollander” “kiakahahaha pirner” and “kiakahahaha powell” read the early 2007 blog entries from Ameridad (Joe Liddle from Des Moines Iowa) & myself. You’ll read that Joe & I have used this blog to make specific charges of criminal conduct against several judges, SRS officials, Sedgwick County deputies, prosecutors for DA Nola Foulston including my allegation that Ross Hollander, law partner of Steve Joseph (Tiller’s attorney) suborned the perjury of Wichita Psychiatric Consultants psychologist, Alicia Landsverk to cover up for the unethical acts of her business partner, Marc Quillen who is the spouse of Marilyn Harp the executive director of Kansas Legal Services. Last week I sent out an e-mail to over 100 attorneys, journalists, politicians and judges asking the Kansas Lottery Commission to investigate the criminal allegations against Hollander who was a minority interest in the MGM casino project. I hope that my e-mail which included several other specific criminal allegations against judges & attorneys & mental health professionals caused MGM to pull out of Kansas due to reputations of Bob Knight, Steve Joseph & Ross Hollander.

    10 casino contracts move ahead; one applicant drops out
    By CARL MANNING
    Associated Press Writer
    Ten proposals to manage three state-owned casinos were endorsed Tuesday by the Kansas Lottery Commission and forwarded to a review board that will make the final selections.
    Developers of an 11th proposal dropped out of the competition to operate a casino in Sumner County, and the commission rejected a second proposal offered by Penn National Gaming Inc. for the same county.
    The commission endorsed proposed contracts for two projects in Ford County, three in Sumner County and five in Wyandotte County. Earlier this month, it endorsed a contract with Penn National as the sole bidder for a Cherokee County casino.
    “We’re not done yet, but this is a big step,” Keith Kocher, Lottery director of gaming, told the commission.
    The next step for the creation of resort casinos under last year’s expanded gambling law will be scrutiny by the Kansas Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board. It will conduct its own study with its consultants and staff and have public hearings.
    The review board will pick the managers for the Cherokee and Sumner casinos on Aug. 21-22 and the Ford and Wyandotte casinos on Sept. 18-19. All must pass a background check by the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission.
    Dropping out of the running was a partnership of MGM Mirage Inc., of Las Vegas, and Foxwoods Development Co., of St. Louis, for a casino at Mulvane. Its statement said only that negotiations didn’t result in a contract they were willing to sign.
    There are commercial casinos in 12 states, but only Kansas would have state-owned and operated facilities, according to the American Gaming Association. The state has four tribal casinos on reservations in northeast Kansas.
    “All they told us is that after further evaluation it didn’t make financial sense for them to go forward,” said Ed Van Petten, Lottery executive director. “We knew of the probability for a week. They weren’t negotiating.”
    That decision left three proposals endorsed by the commission for Sumner County – Harrah’s Entertainment in Mulvane, and Marvel Gaming and Penn National at Wellington.
    Also approved were five developers who want to operate the casino in Wyandotte County, all near or at Kansas Speedway: Golden Gaming Inc.; Kansas Entertainment Inc.; Pinnacle Entertainment; Legends Sun; and Sands Kansas.
    Two developers for Ford County – Dodge City Resort and Gaming Co., and Butler National Service Corp. – also advanced to the review board.
    The law requires a minimum investment by the developers plus a privilege fee paid within 30 days of contract approval. For Cherokee, Sumner and Wyandotte counties, it’s a $225 million investment and a $25 million fee. For Ford County, a developer must invest $50 million and pay a $5 million fee.
    All the proposals had the state’s share starting at the minimum 22 percent required by law, with higher percentages tied to specific revenue amounts. They also include 3 percent for local governments and 2 percent for the problem gambling and addictions fund.
    After the commission’s vote endorsing the 10 contracts, Penn National asked the panel to also endorse a second Sumner County proposal that would have given ownership of the buildings to the state. Commissioners adjourned without commenting or voting on the proposal.
    “It attempts to build on and strengthen the concept of state owned,” Penn National attorney John Petersen told the commission. “It gives the review board another avenue.”
    Commissioner Joni Franklin, a Wichita attorney, said after the meeting there were questions among the commissioners about whether the proposal was a binding contract. She also said there were concerns that it was proposed two weeks ago and the Lottery staff didn’t have enough time to properly review it.
    Lottery attorney Dan Biles recommended against endorsing the second proposal.
    “It transferred the risk of operation to the state,” Biles said. “It transferred to the state the ongoing responsibility of bricks and mortar.”
    Legislators enacted the law allowing the casinos last year. The law says the new gambling will be owned by the state, but it allows the Lottery to contract with developers to build and operate the casinos. The state hopes to eventually collect some $200 million a year from the new gambling.
    The gambling law still is under review by the Kansas Supreme Court, chiefly over the question of whether the casinos truly would be owned by the state. The court has given no indication when it will rule, although its next scheduled day for decisions is June 27.

    Yesterday I spoke by telephone with Dave Grant, News Director at the ABC Affiliate, KAKE TV, about the criminal activity committed by his wife, Rachel Pirner, law partner. I pleaded with Dave for him and Rachel to come clean and broadcast all of the criminal activity that is being committed or covered up by Nola Foulston & the GOP district court judges. I asked Dave if he worked closely with Randy Brown (spouse of Linda Parks – Hite Fanning Honeyman law partner & current Kansas Bar Association president) Dave told me that I was wrong to print in e-mails or blog entries that Randy Brown was ever his mentor. Dave told me that he will be replaced soon as station manager, I assume due to the Todd Wait scandal. I want to publicly apologize for assuming that Dave worked for Randy Brown at KAKE when Randy was the news editor at KAKE in the 1980’s. (For more info. Google Randy Brown kake eagle kiakahahaha” . If you review Randy Brown’s resume you’ll see that he is a key part of the corrupt elitist nepotistic clique of KBA officials, Democrat politicians, WSU professors and media experts.

    However for the record Todd Wait me that he provided to KAKW investigative reporter Jeff Golamoski all of the evidence to support his allegations that Rachel Pirner (law partner at Tripplett Wolf Garretson & Board member of the Kansas Bar Association ) suborned perjury & forgery before Judge Douglas Roth retaliated against Wait by sentencing him to 28 days in jail for criminal contempt of court.
    Because I am starting to gain some credibility, I want to print 3 more serious allegations:

    1. Joni Franklin’s former law partner, Sheila Floodman , tried to exhort $100,000 in cash from her client b instructing him to pay it to the opposing attorney, Pat Walters who is running unopposed at the GOP candidate for Judge Pilshaw’s position.
    2. Former Mayor Carlos Mayans confirmed to me that he told two credible citizens that he was offered $100,000 to keep quiet about the criminal corruption in the local government.
    3. A credible witness is willing to testify that he observed several Sedgwick County District court judges meeting on a regular basis at the Broadview Hotel to what appeared to him as being prostitutes. It is noteworthy that the land that was stolen from Todd & Rhonda Wait’s was resold at a steep discount to Michelle the owner of Michelle’s Beach House.

    I told Dave Grant that the main thing that Joe, Todd , activist Paul Rhodes & I want is the same thing that is being sought by Representative Jim Morrison (Chairman of the House Committee on Government Technology & Efficiency). We want transparency in the investigative & discipline system of judges, attorneys, doctors & mental health professionals. We want accountability so that these powerful individuals are not allowed to break the law. We want the entire legal, political, mental health & journalist establishment in Kansas to humble themselves by acknowledging all of the horrible human rights atrocities that are being committed. We want a logical mechanism for the judges, attorneys, law enforcement officials, doctors and mental health professionals to redeem themselves and for the victims to receive restorative justice.

    Melgren told Todd Wait, Paul Rhodes & myself at an Americans for Prosperitydinner pJim Morrison is scheduled to meet with US Attorney Eric Melgren this week. I have written several blog entries stating that Eric Melgren, Attorney general Steve Six, the former deans and the ethics professors at both law schools and former KBI Director Larry Welch are well aware of all of the human rights atrocities. I have personally spoken to Sam Brownback & Todd Tiahrt and many legislators and attorneys. Some of the lawmakers and attorneys are scared of retaliation against their children by Nola Foulston & the SRS. I have acted independently without Jim Morrison’s permission or coaching. However Morrison is a modern day Jedi knight fighting a epic battle of good vs. evil light vs. darkness. Joe, Paul & Todd are all my heroes that can be best described as Christian men with warrior spirits. I know that Joe fears for the spiritual welfare of Rebecca Pilshaw and her teenaged son who has been in trouble with the law several times. Joe is afraid even though his 14 year son, David, unnecessarily imprisoned due to the conspiracy of Christian pro-life conservative GOP juvenile court judges Brooks & Henderson, court appointed attorneys Mark Kahrs and Nola Foulston’s prosecutors. Todd is concerned about the spiritual welfare of Rachel Pirner, Paul is concerned about the spiritual welfare of retired judge Jim Beasley & Sheila Floodman. I admit that I have been snotty at time (to get your attention), but I sincerely hope that self-proclaimed Christians Judge Tony Powell & Laurence Williamson will not only redeem themselves but also serve in leadership positions to start a tsunami of ethical reform that can start in Sedgwick County. An Eliott Ness type outside prosecutor must file by the 6/10 deadline as the GOP challenger against the fascist wicket witch of Eastborough, Nola Foulston.

    I think that the Sebelius-Foulston-Joseph nepotism & corruption can best be illustrated by an easy to understand example. It’s interesting that Joni Franklin who was recently appointed by Sebelius as chairman of the powerful Kansas Lottery Commission was Sheila Floodman’s long-time law partner. Joni’s husband Kurt Breitenbach is a senior associate prosecutor for Nola Foulston. I read that Joni & Kurt throw one heck of a XMAS party. Just ask Terry Pullman, my favorite Sedgwick County District Court Judge. I do want to thank Pullman for encouraging me on the court record to file a federal civil rights law suit. However the lawsuits will probably have to be a class action lawsuit filed in a different federal circuit district because I am sure that the FBI, the federal judges in Kansas including the husband of Kathleen Sebelius, Attorney General Steve Six (spouse of KU Law Professor Betsy Six & son of Fred Six (retired Kansas Supreme Court Judge) and Lily Six (retired long-time KU Law school admissions director), Eric Melgren (GOP US Attorney for Kansas and former Foulston Seifken partners in the Wichita office with Kansas Supreme Court Carol Beier, Jack Focht, Gloria Flentje and Todd Tedesco – nephew of Nola Tedesco Foulston, ) the Appellate Court in Denver are aware of the many allegations. When I have more time I will write a different blog about the hypocrisy of Eagle reporter & his wife, Gaye Tibbets. No elected official other than Jim Morrison has risked anything to protect the children & families in Kansas.

    The Eagle recently has been routinely censoring my comments that I have made to their stories. This morning I made I just posted the following comment to the national AP story that Obama stated the incorrect name of the concentration camp that his great uncle help liberate at the end of WWII:

    It’s absurd what the Associated Press & the Wichita Eagle consider to be newsworthy. Joe Hanna of the Associated Press’s Topeka Journal & Pam Siddall, publisher of the Eagle are sitting on stories about human rights atrocities in Wichita involving the SRS & criminal racketeering in the Sedgwick County Juvenile & Family Law District Courts and cover up of criminal activity by the Kansas Supreme Courts Commission on Judicial Qualifications, but the only thing that citizens are allowed to read is that Obama misspoke about the name of a concentration camp.
    So called conservative national newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal & the Washington Times should be ashamed of themselves for not reporting on the incestuous relationship between the Kansas press and the fascist state & federal judiciary in Kansas which has lead to documented human rights atrocities against Joe Liddell, a disabled air force veteran from Iowa that was covered up by officials in the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and Democrat Governor Kathleen Sebelius. Someone in the national media needs to as Bob Barr, Barak Obama & John McCain how these human rights atrocities can occur. It will never happen because the dysfunctional local & national media are too ashamed to admit that have become nothing more than promoters & influence peddlers. The fascist local & national publishers understand that if their newspapers aggressively & objectively investigated government corruption stories to their logical conclusion that they would not be able to become king makers by selectively influence political campaigns or be able to ingratiate themselves to particular powerful politicians (such as Governor Sebelius, Senator Pat Roberts, Sam Brownback or congressman Jerry Moran or Todd Tiahrt)

    Obama mistaken on name of Nazi death camp
    By CHRISTOPHER WILLS
    Associated Press Writer
    The Barack Obama campaign said Tuesday the candidate mistakenly referred to the wrong Nazi death camp when relating the story of a great-uncle who helped liberate the camps in World War II.
    The Democratic presidential candidate said the story is accurate except that the camp was Buchenwald, not Auschwitz.
    “Senator Obama’s family is proud of the service of his grandfather and uncles in World War II – especially the fact that his great-uncle was a part of liberating one of the concentration camps at Buchenwald,” campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement. “Yesterday he mistakenly referred to Auschwitz instead of Buchenwald in telling of his personal experience of a soldier in his family who served heroically.”
    Aides said Tuesday that his grandmother’s brother, Charlie Payne, helped liberate a Buchenwald sub-camp in April 1945 as part of the 89th Infantry Division.
    In a meeting Monday with veterans, Obama discussed the importance of improving treatment for soldiers suffering post-traumatic stress. To illustrate his point, he talked about his own family.
    “I had an uncle who was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps. The story in our family was that when he came home, he just went up into the attic and he didn’t leave the house for six months,” Obama said. “Now, obviously something had really affected him, but at that time there just weren’t the kinds of facilities to help somebody work through that kind of pain.”
    Auschwitz was liberated by Soviet forces as they marched across Poland in January 1945. The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum says Americans liberated several death camps in Germany, including Buchenwald, Dachau and Mauthausen.
    “On April 4, 1945, the 89th overran Ohrdruf, a subcamp of the Buchenwald concentration camp. Ohrdruf was the first Nazi concentration camp liberated by U.S. troops in Germany,” according to the museum. “A week later, on April 12, Generals Dwight D. Eisenhower, George S. Patton, and Omar Bradley visited Ohrdruf to see, firsthand, evidence of Nazi atrocities against concentration camp prisoners.”
    Obama’s mistaken mention of the camp on Monday quickly generated Internet chatter, ranging from puzzlement to outrage. The Republican Party demanded an explanation.
    “It was Soviet troops that liberated Auschwitz, so unless his uncle was serving in the Red Army, there’s no way Obama’s statement yesterday can be true,” said Alex Conant, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee.

    Did you see the look on McCain’s face and the vitriol in his voice yesterday when some war protesters in the crowd forced him to bring up the subject of Iraq? I was shocked at the hatred he allowed he show.

    Even more telling was that McCain “wink” some journalists have mentioned.

    “I will never ’surrender’ in Iraq!” (wink wink)

    “I will never (or will) (or won’t) (or will) support ‘amnesty’ for illegal aliens” (wink wink)

    “I am against torture (or for it, depending on the audience)” (wink wink)

    Look at it.

    Look for it. It’s the classic poker bluffer’s “tell.”

    Somewhere in Hanoi, there’s gotta be film of when McCain, after torture, went before the cameras and “confessed” to war crimes.

    Look for the winks.

    I forgot to list my contact info if anybody wants scanned docuemtns about Joe & Todd’s allegations.

    Would it be cool if Libertarian Bob Barr came to Kansas and made Kansas a swing state?? We might even see Obama & McCain show up instead of doing fly overs. We could use a little competiton between the 3 poltical parties in this state to keep each other honest. If the GOP does not clean house in the next 3 months, an Obama-appointed US attorney may electively prosecute a lot of GOP judges while giving a free pass to the corrupt Democrat KBA establishment. We all remember how the media portrayed NY attorney general Elliott Spitzer as a noble reformer. Does the idea of US attorney Raj Goyle scare anybody else. If Raj played his cards right, he could be the youngest federal judge appointed by President Obama in a few years.

    Maybe McCain can get Scott McClellan to be his press secretary for the “Straight Talk Express” (sic):

    http://www.kansas.com/wireupdates/story/417410.html

    WASHINGTON – Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan writes in a new memoir that President Bush relied on an aggressive “political propaganda campaign” instead of the truth to sell the Iraq war, and that the decision to invade pushed Bush’s presidency “terribly off course.’

    The Bush White House made “a decision to turn away from candor and honesty when those qualities were most needed” – a time when the nation was on the brink of war, McClellan writes in the book entitled “What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception.”

    Whoops. Typo. It’s Enron.

    Ken Lay and Enron are good analogies for George Bush and his misfeasance, malfeasance and nonfeasance. Fitting that Bush and Ken Lay were old friends. Both made huge mistakes that other people had to pay for. Both blamed their mistakes on other people. Both wanted the American people to just walk away and forget about what they did. And appropriate that, in the end, that Ken Lay was held accountable, and George Bush will be held accountable.

    It makes no difference whom McCain chooses as his running mate, we can see that McSame is running for Bush’s Third Term.

    Same position on Bush’s Misbegotten War. Same tax giveaways for the super rich. Same disdain for working people. Same co-dependence on lobbyists (like Jack Abramoff.) Same plan to continue the kickbacks and payoffs to the Charlie Blacks on K Street, the Halliburtons and KBR’s. McSame. McSame. McSame.

    I just heard Bush Shill Dan Bartlett lie on national television. In a feeble attempt to spin the McClelland book, Bartlett blames Bush’s bad judgment on “bad intelligence.” The problem was not the intelligence. It was Bush’s judgment and decisions as commander in chief. “Intelligence” comprises information, always incomplete and often inaccurate. No, the decisions and judgments were made by Bush. How weak, dishonest and feeble to blame others for Bush’s mistakes. By lying, Bartlett is part of the problem. No more McSame.

    “Bartlett blames Bush’s bad judgment on “bad intelligence.”

    Well, it depends on which definition of “intelligence” you use.

    “Intelligence (also called intellect) is an umbrella term used to describe a property of the mind that encompasses many related abilities, such as the capacities to reason, to plan, to solve problems, to think abstractly, to comprehend ideas, to use language, and to learn”
