Steven Baranek Of Gloucester Animal Control Audio File DW_0152

Gloucester Animal Control With More Fake Evidence?

I have to make this statement before going any further. If one digs enough, one can always find fault in any legal case. Overall a legal case should be very sound despite fault being found. In this particular case, I continue to find so much fault and so little sound evidence from where I am looking that one can not help but to trounce all over it.

The above audio is four minutes and thirty seconds long. Using Gloucester County's own documents, we see some very serious issues here that can not be ignored. This is audio file DW_0152 and was produced by Steve Baranek of Gloucester County Animal Control. This audio was produced using a pocket digital recorder. The date of this audio is May 4^th, 2010. The entire length of this audio track is one hour four minutes and fifty five seconds long. This exact file was used as evidence in a Gloucester County Circuit Court to prosecute the defendant/occupant of the home we have been reporting on.

Below is a snapshot where Steve Baranek testifies in court that this recording is a true and accurate recording. (That also goes for the other audio clips we have already produced from this main audio).

Keep in mind that Monique W Donner, Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney was well aware of this recording before going into court and she accepted this recording as evidence as did the attorney for the defense, Michael T Soberick, Esq. 

Now let's look at a section of Sgt. Paul Emanuele's Offense/Incident Report for this same case.

When we listen to the audio recording above, Steve Baranek would have us believe he is driving up to the defendant/occupant's house. Steve states that the time is 9:06. (AM). Now look at what Sgt Paul Emanuele states for the time of his dispatch and the time of his arrival at the residence. Sgt Emanuele states he was there at 8:58 (AM). That means when Steve Baranek pulls into the driveway, he should have seen Sgt Emanuele's police car and Sgt Emanuele. Yet Steve never acknowledges seeing anyone in the audio clip above that is four minutes and thirty seconds long. But wait, Steve should also be meeting a number of other people there as well according to Sgt Emanuele.

Steve should be also meeting Carl Shipley, Jeff Stillman and Shaun Doyle. Yet he never says anything either to or about these guys. How can that be? How can anyone possibly be expected to believe this recording unless Sgt Emanuele got his facts very wrong or maybe, the recording is a false and inaccurate piece of evidence? In our professional opinion, the recoding is very false and highly inaccurate. Our opinion is that the recording is so chopped and manipulated that it's not worth a thing as evidence for the county and should have been thrown out.

These days most courts do not even allow this type of evidence into the court because it is so easy to manipulate the recordings. Now what I will tell you is that I did make a few minor cuts in the above recording. The cuts I made were to the personal information that I removed to protect the defendant/occupant of this case. I also cleaned up the sound track to make the audio easier to hear and understand. No other changes were made by us.

Let's move on to the next issue. Steve Baranek starts to play with his phone and you can hear the phone keep repeating, “Say A Command”. That means you can hear what's going on through the ear piece of the phone. Yet, when he claims to be making a call, you do not hear anyone on the other side.

I find that highly unlikely and believe he was faking the call. I would love to see the phone records for that call. The time of that so-called call took place was 9:09 (AM). The proof is on Animal Control to prove this call and time is accurate as it has to 100% match up with the recording for the recording to be a true and accurate record of events. Anyone care to bet that the county can not produce this evidence? Anyone care to bet that the county does not even try?

Also, if you listen to the above audio very closely, you do hear a number of people in the background talking as well as their radio dispatches broadcasting. These are people Steve Baranek never acknowledge. Another issue, if Steve Baranek claims that he trimmed areas out of the recording because they were just not needed, well, then that is not a true and accurate record of events then is it.

Further, if it could even possibly be imagined that the above call did take place, why didn't Steve Baranek state the reason why he was there? He was there with a search warrant? He had a legal obligation to state just that or his phone call could be considered nothing more than harassment. Are you seriously going to tell me that those who are charged with investigating and must do so with the use and tools of a search warrant is not trained in the laws of such? Could this possibly be evidence that the concept of a search warrant had not even been thought of yet? See the last article and ask yourself that exact question.

So what we are looking at here, in our opinion, Steve Baranek's testimony is false and misleading and needs to be expunged from this case. The same with Holli M Cohoon's testimony. That only leaves Sgt. Paul Emanuele's testimony. In the future we will be re printing the entire 96 page court report. Sgt Paul Emanuele's testimony is pretty much nil and contributes about nothing to the case. The entire case needs to be thrown out and all charges removed in our opinion. We will elaborate on Sgt Paul Emanuele's statements and report in the future as this too has holes that are huge gaps.

I can not begin to understand how Michael T Soberick, with all the same evidence we both have and have looked at, could not begin to see any of these issues? Or did he and he just didn't do anything about them? Did he throw his client to the wolves? Come on now. Mr Soberick is a highly esteemed Gloucester County attorney. It's like we said, this case has more turns and surprises around each corner than you can ever possibly imagine.

Shaun Doyle of Gloucester Animal Control Statement?

Gloucester Animal Control File DW_0152 Clip

What we are presenting here is a small clip where there is a discussion going on between Animal Control Officer Steve Baranek and we believe Officer Shaun Doyle. The above audio has been cleaned up as much as we could clean it up so that we are able to hear the entire conversation. This audio starts at exactly 6 minutes and 36 seconds into Steve Baranek's audio recording. We have played this audio over and over and have spent hours on making sure we know exactly what was said. Steve Baranek's participation in the audio is self explanatory where Shaun Doyle's is written out.  Shaun is a fast talker.

Here is what Shaun Doyle is saying to Steve Baranek;

Shaun; “Call her again and tell her we have a search warrant. With that search warrant legally we can kick the door in by then. We have opportunity to do it in the night.”

Okay, so Steve Baranek's own recording shows without question, that he never tells the defendant/occupant of this home that he is there with a search warrant. That fact is well established. What we find difficult is why the discussion for calling her again to tell her they have a search warrant? By law, that is what they were already supposed to have done. Second, why the discussion, “With that search warrant we can legally kick the door in by then?” This part makes some sense yet it does not. These guys are already supposed to be there with a search warrant aren't they? Third and most disturbing, Shaun's statement, “We have opportunity to do it in the night.”

What? Why would anyone suggest coming back in the night to kick a door in based on a search warrant that is supposed to be for Animal Control to check on the condition of animals? Is it better to search a property and the condition of animals in the middle of the night? This conversation makes no sense and is way out of context. In fact it is our opinion and that opinion is based on what we have been told by our source inside the Gloucester County Sheriff's Office, that there was no search warrant at this point and this is where the idea first came up. Thanks Shaun.

  Now Shaun Doyle is no longer with Animal Control and also no longer living in Virginia.  He moved to California with his wife.  When this audio recording happened, May 4th, 2010, Officer Shaun Doyle was fairly new to the position.  We are wondering if he left both Animal Control and Virginia because of issues just like this one?

We believe more was said here than should have been. But let me tell you, if you find this disturbing, wait until the next story.

911 Dispatcher Liability?

911 Dispatcher Liability?

As we have shown in our last article, the testimony from Holli M Cohoon falls way short and inaccurate. There are legal liabilities for giving false and misleading testimony in a court of law, especially when said testimony proves to harm any person against whom the false testimony was given. Holli may just find herself working the rest of her life to pay restitution for the harm caused, and reporting and accounting for every dollar she earns every month.

Arrangements have been made to forgive any and all potential damages in exchange for her true and accurate testimony. This is a very short time offer as her testimony isn't really needed. She has two weeks from today's date to come forward. After the two week period, all bets are off.

The Castle Doctrine

The Castle Doctrine

The above is a direct link to the Castle Doctrine stated in the last story.  Thought you should know and understand every aspect we are talking about in this case.  

Evidence That 911 Dispatcher Lied In Court?

Evidence That 911 Dispatcher Lied In Court?

As we said, we would get back to all of this. The above video again is made for the audio recording. This audio clip came from 9 minutes into the clip. It's file number is DW_0152 and was recorded by Steve Baranek. To put it simply, how do you mistake a shovel for a gun? You were probably thinking that in the last story, I may have lost my mind. Well I guess not after all. Looks like it's Holly who can not distinguish between a gun and a shovel. That now puts the 911 call into some very serious questions. And we are getting a lot closer to showing that maybe the two calls that came through Holly's watch have been turned into one to produce false evidence after all.

What is sad is that all of this was right in front of the attorney and he missed it. Or did he?

Some facts to keep in mind.  The defendant/occupant witnessed an intruder on her property chasing one of her dogs and trying to do bodily harm to that dog.  He was chasing the dog with a pipe.  Look at the castle doctrine, one has the right to use whatever force is necessary  to protect one's home and property.  This is highly enforced here in the State of Virginia.  

911 Call Operator Holly M Cohoon Testimony

911 operator call testimony

View more presentations from Chuck Thompson

911 Call Operator Holly M Cohoon Testimony

Our last story presenting the 911 call audio created a lot of questions and concerns. It is our opinion that the call is altered. Here is her court testimony above presented as a slide presentation. The smoking gun is right in her own testimony. She states that she remembers having a second conversation with the defendant/occupant and the defendant/occupant claiming to go out the door with a shovel. You see, it never made sense why she kept saying in the 911 call presented in this court as evidence why Holly, the 911 dispatcher, kept saying do not shoot out that door during the call. (Yes I know there is a difference between a shovel and a gun. But our upcoming story is going to clarify this).

Now it's looking more like that 911 call has been altered.

In cross examination of Holly, the attorney asks if Holly listened to a second tape of the voice recordings of the 911 calls made that day regarding this specific case. Holly states no. The attorney asks why not. Holly states she does not work there anymore. But wait, Holly did state to the prosecuting attorney that she did in fact hear this first tape recording in preparation to this proceeding. Is anyone scratching there heads yet? I sure am. Could it be that the reason a second tape was never presented is because the Sheriff's Office doctored two tapes to make one? Go back and listen to that 911 call recording again and then look at Holly's testimony. A lot of questions sure surface now.

Holly also testifies that she did not speak with any deputies at one moment of the cross examination and then states that she did speak with them via radio the next. Which is it? In an upcoming article, we are going to show evidence that Holly was not a trustworthy witness here. In fact, we will show she blew her side of the story that she was supposed to present. This was all staged in our opinion and we are going to present you with that evidence.

Holly made it very clear that she no longer works as a 911 dispatcher. Could it be because she is aware of all the mis-deeds going on at the Sheriff's Office? Was she so scared that she was willing to lie on the stand?

Gloucester County Forged 911 Call?

Gloucester County Forged 911 Call?

The above video has been produced mainly for the audio recording that was used in a court of law right here in Gloucester County, Virginia. This recording was both submitted and accepted as evidence. The 911 operator, one  Holly M Cohoon, even testified to it. Well if you have played this once already, did you actually hear what was being said? There are way too many issues with it to be authentic. It is our professional opinion that this is a forged recording. You may want to play this a few more times and  listen carefully to the recording.

Before we go too far, I must state that I have also altered this call in a slight way. I removed a very tiny section where the caller states her address. This was done to protect this party. Other than that, the call is exactly what was played in a local court. So let's look at some of the issues.

1. The caller to the 911 operator goes through at least five different emotions during a brief one minute and 6 second call.  Even in a mental institution, the worst patients do not go through that many emotions in that fast a period.
2. The 911 operator, Holly M Cohoon, tells the caller not to shoot out the door. The caller never stated she was even by a door. The 911 operator, Holly M Cohoon, does not state that once, but instead she states it multiple times so you know she isn't making a mistake.
3. In less than 40 seconds, the 911 operator, Holly M Cohoon, breaks every form of protocol and states that there is already a sheriff's deputy outside. She does not radio for a patrol car, she does not stop the conversation to verify that there is a deputy outside. She flat out states it.

We had a 911 operator from another area analyze this call and we were told that there was no way it could possibly be authentic in their professional opinion, which matched our opinion.

Now this has everything to do with what we have been reporting about. This does tie into the reports of Gloucester County Officials ignoring our requests for information and also our report on the search warrant. This call took place on May 4^th, 2010. Numerous off-duty sheriff's deputies were all over the property. What alarmed the caller to the 911 operator was The fact that an unknown male called to the defendant's telephone screaming for the defendant/occupant of this home to get out of the house immediately. The reason was never stated. (Yes, we will show that a reason was never stated in a later article). What further alarmed the defendant/occupant was that when she looked out the window, she saw an unidentified intruder beating a dog in the front yard with a metal pipe. 

The occupant of the home hung up on the unidentified caller and called 911. There was no reason whatsoever for anyone to be calling the occupant and ordering her to get out of the house.  

Now this next part is only what we have been told from a person inside the Gloucester County Sheriff's Office and we have no way to prove it. In fairness, we can only report what we were told. This was a "Fun Raid," ordered by sheriff Steve Gentry. This "Fun Raid" had dual purposes. One, the occupant of this home had made a complaint about members of the Gloucester Sheriff's Office via a letter to Steve Gentry. Two, the home was within a certain demographic in that the owners/occupants were known gun owners and in an upper economic bracket.

What we were told is the "Fun Raid" was for the purpose of grabbing the guns and whatever cash and/or other valuables could be easily taken. What went wrong? First, no one expected anyone to be home in the house.  Second, because the owners/occupants own animals, Animal Control was called in to take over and legitimize the so-called "search."

Okay, in all reality, that seems pretty far fetched even for me to fully grasp. We were told by the person inside the Gloucester County Sheriff's Office that this is fairly common and the way they normally get away with it is by creating a shoot-out with whomever the target is and killing them. This particular victim lived --through a series of good luck and cooperating at the right times. Again, I have no way to verify these statements made but it does make sense as to why the search warrant is so sloppy and full of errors. It was produced during this event to cover tracks is what we believe. It would also start to explain why the 911 call, in our professional opinion, is forged.

Now if you really consider this that hard to believe, we are nowhere near the end of the story. It continues to get a lot worse and there is so much more.

New synthetic drug is dangerous - Amped

New synthetic drug is dangerous

The Above is a link to the story on-line.  Amped is the newest craze and it is sold over the counter, including right here in Gloucester, as Lady Bug attractant.  It's bad news.  There have been a number of stores popping up around Gloucester and their main business and income come from selling these synthetic drugs.  It's serious money for these purveyors.  Check out the article and keep an eye out for anything unusual with your children or loved ones. 

Understanding Meta Data

We have added this file on Meta Data so that people who are reading the present posts understand what it is we are asking for when we say we are asking for meta data on files.  Meta data can say a lot or say nothing at all.  The meta data can seriously put reports into question or they may just add to confusion.   There are plenty of reasons to look at the meta data of a document.  It can be used as evidence in a court.  It's also very difficult to alter meta data without creating new meta data of altering the previous data.  Meta data is on every computer everywhere.  We will go into further detail about all this in a later article. 

Gloucester County FOIA Requests For Information, Some Now Coming In

We are now starting to get some of the information we have requested.  Christi Lewis has been a tremendous help from the begging and we at least want to point out her professionalism and note that she has been on the ball since the start on helping us get the information we have been seeking.  The Gloucester County Sheriff's department has already kicked in some information that is also very helpful.  I have to make the statement, even though I am pointing out serious flaws in the system, and flaws in this starting case, not everyone should be viewed as suspicious.  Gloucester County does have a number of truly dedicated professionals working for us. We, like everyone else, have some bad apples in the mix and can not stand by and allow injustice to prevail.



  

Gloucester County Producing False And Illegal Search Warrants?

Gloucester County Producing False And Illegal Search Warrants?

Above is a jpg image of a search warrant issued here in Gloucester County. This is the search warrant that has been in discussion in earlier parts of this overall story. On the surface, it may look valid, but when you start really studying all it's components and asking a lot of questions, you start to realize that there is something very wrong here. At least it is our opinion that something horribly wrong exists.

Let's start breaking this document down and asking questions shall we? If you look at the bottom of this document, you will see that it is signed by one Gloria Owens who is a Gloucester County court clerk. She signed this document and marked the box Judge. Gloria Owens is not a judge. She is not a Magistrate. She is a clerk. Okay, in fairness, she has the right to sign this document and mark it for a judge if she was in contact with a judge and was signing it in his place, which would require her to mark it as such but was never done. See VA Code Ann 19.2-56 below. Information we have obtained states that Gloria Owens is the usual go to person in the county whenever a fast form is needed for whatever reason. Now we have no way to confirm this, it's what has been told to us from inside the Sheriff's office.

Va code ann 19.2 56

Now let's look at the date and time this was executed. Well all we have here is a date, no time. A time stamp is required by law to be on this document, however, it will not invalidate evidence and or property seized during the search as long as Gloucester County can show the time that this document was created. The search took place on May 4^th, 2010. One day after this document was “supposedly” created. We strongly emphasis supposedly. Yet this document does not contain a valid file number. If it was created one day in advance of a search, this document should have a valid file number. It's rather shoddy and shady that this document does not contain a file number seeing as Gloucester had 24 hours advanced preparations.

Now let's look at the markings or numbers that are placed in the file number box. 10.45. Could this possibly be a date? 2010, 4^th day of May? This search as already stated took place on May 4^th, 2010. So it is very feasible that 10.45 means just that. Now opinion is that the real date that this document was in fact created is May 4^th, 2010 and after the search began. Or in other words, while an illegal raid was being conducted against those this search warrant has been issued. This is why I have asked for the meta data files on the creation of this document. You can not alter the meta data on a computer without creating a major boot record of such. Again, more reason why Gloucester County really wants to ignore my requests for information? It's better to take a hit for non compliance than to offer up evidence that may just incriminate a number of people? The opinion is that everything had to be created after the illegal raid began to cover the tracks of those guilty parties to the raid.

Ah, and I am just warming up here to. Now let's look at the affiant section of the search warrant. The signature on here to the best of our understanding is Steve Baranek of Animal Control. He is the second of two affiant's. His affidavit is in place of the first affidavit where by law, the original affiant does not have to be disclosed to the defendant, however, burden of proof as to why the original affiant is hidden is on Gloucester County. There must be a certain amount of fear of retribution from the defendant against the original affiant in order to hide said evidence.

Now here is what I am not supposed to know. The original affiant was under the employ of Peninsula Heating and Air,or PHA at the time. Evidence produced by this PHA employee that was supposedly used to create this search warrant comes into very deep questioning. I have asked for all evidence here and have not received it. It is believed that the PHA employee, through illegally trespassing into areas of a house where he was assigned to work, took photographs on what he considered to be either questionable and or possibly illegal evidence of animal neglect.

Now when it comes to accepting evidence and compiling an affidavit for the purposes of issuing a search warrant, the affiant must be deemed reliable. If the PHA employee was criminally trespassing into areas of a house he had no right to access, can his testament be considered reliable? Gaining evidence via committing an illegal act does not prove reliability.

Va code ann 19.2 59

View more documents from Chuck Thompson.

That would invalidate the PHA employee affidavit. Now what about Steve Baranek's affidavit? Well that was created to protect the original affiant. So now that would make Steve Baranek's affidavit null and void making the search warrant null and void. Problem is, the search took place. These are not the only areas in question. There isn't an area on this search warrant I can't question and show some serious flaws in. I mean this thing is loaded with problems in my opinion. However, I am not going to give everything I know away right now as I am still waiting on evidence from Gloucester County and know that there are many people in the county who are in fact reading this. Plus inside information from the Sheriff's deputy says that all the evidence of this case have been destroyed so it's going to be hard for Gloucester County to produce what we are looking for. This he was told by Sheriff Gentry. After ample time, I'm still going to pick this document clean and show even worse issues than I have put up yet.

So far we are looking at a very sloppy search warrant that is at the very least, highly questionable and County officials that are ignoring requests for information to clarify areas of this document. How much worse can it get? You have no idea.

At this point, if I have your attention, I would strongly suggest that you start following all the updates on this site as this does not even begin to scratch the surface of everything coming. I have surprises everywhere and on every story coming up that are more shocking than the last.

Gloucester Officials Ignore Freedom Of Information Requests.

Gloucester Officials Ignore Freedom Of Information Requests.

Since March of this year, 2012, we have been filing with Gloucester County, requests for information under the Freedom Of Information Act. To date, we are being ignored and are now on our third request for the same information. The information being sought regards a search warrant that was issued in Gloucester County back during the month of May of 2010. Here is a jpg image of the search warrant as given to the defendant. What is also interesting is that the Daily Press on Sunday, April 29^th did a story on an Author Stonewalled On Court Records Request in the Crime and Legal Issues Notebook section of the paper.  This story is reprinted here under the fair use doctrine.

(Click Image To Enlarge)

To be 100% fair. Our first request was in writing at the Gloucester County courthouse with the Gloucester County clerks office. We requested the affiant affidavit because the defendants state they never received this with the copy of the search warrant. If this is true, the search warrant was invalid and the search is considered an illegal raid. Please see VA Code Ann 19.2-56 below. Also requested was any and all calendar schedules for and or showing any scheduling of the search on the search warrant in question. The written request was for a search warrant File Number 10.45. I knew that the search warrant file number was not valid but this is what Gloucester County had written in the File Number section of the search warrant. I wanted a letter showing that this file number was invalid.

By the way, I had to hand write the request and was not given the usual form for this request. The filing of this request was witnessed. On the date this request was filed, one of the clerks who only had a couple of minutes to look up information before leaving told me that there were 3 pages of affiant information and two affiant's. I already knew this but was not sharing that part of the information. I was later told that the county had 10 days to respond to this request and asked how I wanted it sent. I requested that the information be sent via US mail.

After 5 days of the written request, I did get a phone call from the Gloucester County clerks office where this request was made. I have a time and date stamped recording of the phone call along with the message that was left. The message was to call the clerks office and the phone number to the clerks office. I wanted a letter so I did not call back.

After 14 days had passed, allowing for extra days for mail delivery, I had no response on this request at all other than that one phone call. So then I went on line and filed the FOIA (Freedom Of Information Act) form at the Gloucester County web site. The form if filled out on line will not retain the information typed in there for the requested information. It boots that part out. So I had to create my own form using theirs. I sent it via email that gives a digital time and date stamp, to the person listed as the main contact for these forms. Christi Lewis is the Gloucester County contact person. I filed this pretty late at night and it was received and responded to on April , 2012. Here is a jpg of the email I received. .

The second request was given 12 days for a response along with extra days for last minute mailings. In other words, I gave Gloucester County the benefit of the doubt. This was not ignored by one party in Gloucester County, but instead it has been ignored by multiple parties in Gloucester County as evidenced by Christi Lewis' email to me on who she sent my requests to. One has to assume at this point that maybe there is something to hide here? In upcoming stories on this case, we will show that there is in fact a lot to hide, in our opinion. We have a lot of questions and now we are producing a lot more questions and so should you. Our next article is going to deal with the actual search warrant itself and we are going to go over the Virginia laws as it applies to search warrants and in particular this search warrant. We think you will agree with our opinion that the search warrant issued was totally false, misleading and illegal. See our story, Gloucester County Producing False And Illegal Search Warrants?

A Grand Conspiracy In Gloucester County Law Enforcement and The Courts?

A Grand Conspiracy In Gloucester County Law Enforcement and The Courts?

Today we are kicking off what will become a very long story told over the upcoming months with more twists and turns than you could ever imagine. We have been and will continue to invite members of the press and other law enforcement agencies to follow these stories as they are all intertwined together and will prove to shake the very foundations of Gloucester County and eventually, our nation. This is a story that we have been working on for the past two years and have interviewed numerous people, put together a huge database of information and evidence to include pictures, court documents, recordings, videos, testimony, digital data and more. We have hundreds of pages that we will be presenting and it is just way to much to cover in one or several articles.

Some of what will be presented can only be stated as opinion because we are being blocked from receiving information that may or may not say otherwise. So it is only fair to report on what the opinions are and support those opinions with as much fact as we have on hand. Other areas will be based on fact of evidence that is undeniable. We have also been putting together facts of Virginia law to show we are not making anything up at any time nor are we spouting opinion of our own interpretations of the law.

We will do everything in our power to be as fair as possible as much as possible in bringing you these stories. At the present moment, it is our opinion that there is in fact a grand conspiracy here in Gloucester County with our law enforcement and in our court system to manipulate and to deceive the public and we have had inside input on such. A deputy inside the Gloucester County Sheriff's office has come forward and given deep detailed information on where to look and what to look for in order to present the stories along with what transpired in given events that we will be bringing you. Now with all of this said, we will now present you with our first case and the first section of the story on this case that begins after this opening. Please see Gloucester Officials Ignore Freedom Of Information Requests.

Jamie Fresh Updated For 2012 - The So Called Story of Rick Nelson

Because we still have people looking up information on Jamie Fresh we see that our old friend is still probably up to his old tricks trying to get people to invest in a book that has no proof or solid background and is full of so much misinformation and out right lies that it could never be widely published by anyone. In the past TTC Media had a site up on Wordpress and we tore every part of Jamie's book apart for the lies and complete fabrications that it was loaded with. Jamie made a bunch of threats towards us and we kept asking him to please follow through.

At one point, Jamie had a very tiny storage shed in California loaded with pictures and various copies with numerous versions of his self publishing book claiming to once been friends with Rick Nelson. Jamie also claimed to be friends with Elvis. Only thing he didn't tell you was that he had met someone named Elvis Merna and not the person who he leads you to believe was Elvis Presley. If you should be foolish enough to even consider investing in his hair brained scheme, I have to caution you that you would then be open to numerous lawsuits. He claims that a member of the Beach Boys killed his child and also killed others. It's in his book. Jamie has made wild claims to having wrote songs with the Rolling Stones which I had proved was not true on the Wordpress site.

His story how Rick Nelson was killed, that is in his own words in his so called book, was proven wrong by the Nelson Family themselves which pretty much ended the entire Wordpress site. My advice to anyone would be to look at his so called book and ask for evidence that I have proven he does not have. I met Jamie Fresh in Gloucester, VA as his mother lives in the county. He comes to Gloucester from time to time but not very often. He is the black sheep of his family.



He set up his girlfriend to handle illegal activities for him and she was sent to jail for it. All of it tied to his wild fantasy for the production of his book. He talks a good talk the first time you meet him, but do not be fooled. He is slick. Just do your homework and you will quickly learn that nothing he says adds up and there is no proof in what he tells you.

I worked with insiders from all around the nation exposing every level of fraud he was perpetuating. How he remains on the streets is beyond any of us. If you need help getting rid of this guy should he attach himself to you, you can contact me through this site and I can assemble the team once again to stop him in his tracks. He also uses numerous names such as Jamie Furst, James Furst and others. There is no movie, there is no real book, and there are no contract deals. He will tell you how I set up hundreds of web sites to knock him out and how I hacked his site. Sorry, I never had that kind of time nor interest.

Last I knew, he was a street bum with no place to live. I hope he at least has a roof over his head these days as I do not wish that kind of life on anyone. So if you are doing your research based on a meeting with him, this is the latest update.

It's Now Official, TC Walker School Is Closing

As of last night, Tuesday, March 13th, 2012 in an official Gloucester County meeting, it was determined that TC Walker school will be closing it's doors as a school for good. A few things to keep in mind when trying to reason why the county would act in this manner. One. When dealing in a government setting, one is judged for success by the budget one controls, not how much money one makes or how much money one saves. Government is not in the business of making a profit nor is it in the business of saving money on anything. Therefore, what makes business sense to anyone outside of government does not make any sense to anyone inside of government. It then makes sense to do what is going to create the highest level budget you can control than to determine what makes sense for those you have been elected to serve.

What all of this means is we are headed for higher taxes. A natural disaster is great for politicians as it always raises the budgets of someone somewhere. As your budget goes up, so does your value and your pay. With the higher pay, you can now afford the extra taxes you helped bring about. But do not look at it as having to pay higher taxes for the increased budgets our officials burden us with. Think of it as increasing the value of the resumes of our elected officials instead. Yeah, that should help you sleep better at night now.

So what is the county going to do with the empty school? The inside track says that they are already looking at the property as additional office space. Expanding government with higher costs and higher budgets meaning higher taxes. Wait, I mean value added resumes for those in charge.



What I would like to see is the county turn one of it's buildings into a homeless shelter. The county has ignored this problem way to long. What the county does with the homeless of this area other than ignore them is to send them instead to places like the homeless shelters over in Newport News and Hampton that are already way over burdened. Just last night I was communicating with a family via email that has a serious homeless problem through no fault of their own. They were residents of Gloucester and have a long history here. They have been forced across the river because Gloucester does nothing about these issues. By the way, that ploy is over 100 years old and is very effective at shifting the burden from one area to another.

The recent figures here in Gloucester is that we have 54 babies that are presently homeless. The overall figures of actual homeless in Gloucester are staggering with nothing being done about it. These are not your normal hopeless drunks or junkies either. These are hard working people that lost their jobs and then their homes. People when you look at them and talk to them, you would never know their issues. I know of one reverend who has been doing everything he can to try and help but has been getting almost no help from anyone anywhere. When we have approached churches, organizations and local government, they all have the same answer, we have no answer nor do we plan on putting anything together any time soon. Well here is a great way to put together a new budget and expand local government and create new jobs helping people who have been victimized by the new economy.

Virginia State Legislators Smoking Dope?

Virginia State Legislators Smoking Dope?

By; Steve Klein

Okay, let's look at whats going on in the world around us. We are clearly in a shrinking economy. It's not going to get better any time soon and everyone knows this, yet our state legislators are sitting in Richmond planning on the largest budget in the history of Virginia. All I can ask, are they all smoking dope in Richmond? Where is it that they are planning to get all the funding for this new massive cash cow from? We the people? Are you kidding? Who has it? You folks have already taken it. Ain't nothin left thar, Jeb.

Maybe the legislators in Richmond have found a new money tree? They need to share that. New businesses coming into Virginia that we are not being told about? Massive new plants coming into the state? Are we the new China manufacturing machine? Get real. Our politicians need to stop playing games with the money that obviously isn't there and come into real life. I know where they can get a lot of their money from. Do not take any pay for the work you are all doing in Richmond and do not take any write off's for all the travel you have to do to the state capital either. Pay for that out of your own pockets. Pledge your pay to help fund the new budgets. Won't do that? Don't do it with our money either then.

In fact, all you legislators should sell all your assets and pledge them to the new budget to show how serious you all are to the health of the state and the people. Sell your cars and take public transportation to the next meeting in Richmond. Can't afford a room there? Go to one of the homeless shelters for the night. Have other income from other businesses? Donate 100% of it to the state budgets. In fact, just donate your entire business to the state and sell off all the assets. Liquidate all your holdings and add it into your new budgets. Show us how serious you are about your plans. Lead by example.

Maybe we can get a loan from China for the new state budget. Wait, let's just sell the state capital to the Chinese. I bet we can get a barrel of oil for it. Let's also sell route 95 to the Arabs. Maybe we can also sell 64 to the Russians for some Vodka. Let's also sell the Chesapeake Bay to the Germans and let them worry about cleaning it up. We can also give Mathews county away to anyone willing to put up with the new UN rules and laws. Let someone else deal with that headache. Wait, let's open a bunch of casino's and meth labs. We can use all the old schools for the new meth labs. Who cares if they blow up then? Legalize dope then we can tax the hell out of it and the legislators won't have to worry about getting busted.

Okay that was purposely absurd. But then again, so is putting together the biggest budget in the history of the state of Virginia during a shrinking economy. That is if our legislators are planning on funding the budgets through new and or increased taxes. Maybe the state should just take it's excess holdings and fund everything that way instead? Ya think? Nah, they are not going to admit they have it. If that were to happen, a lot of people would get awfully mad once they found out about it.

California Prop 8 Gay Marriage Ban Unconstitutional?

California Prop 8 Gay Marriage Ban Unconstitutional?

By; Steve Klien

A judge in California who is now retired has made a decision that any ban on gay marriage in the state is unconstitutional. After he made that decision, he retired and then announced he was gay. He refused to announce that life style choice before being called on to make the constitutional decision. Hence his decision was biased. He was also very wrong on his call on the constitutionality of that decision. He showed he knows very little about the US Constitution whatsoever.

“The US Constitution was written for a Christian people and will serve no other”. John Adams. Throughout history, Christianity has never supported gay relationships and is against the Christian bible. Our founding fathers were Christians and would never have dreamed of allowing gay marriages. I myself do not care, but do not force it down our throats and ask us to accept it especially under any form of religion. I have a zero sum issue with states allowing state sponsored gay marriages as long as religion is kept out of it and not asked to ever recognize it under any form. A ban on gay marriage is not unconstitutional but instead it keeps within the Constitution. The judge in California should be disbarred for life and fined very heavily for his decision and deliberate failure to disclose his own preferences in this matter. Any time he wants to debate the US Constitution, I will be happy to teach him what he obviously fails to understand.

Also, the media forcing this down every American citizens throat throughout the day was a very clear propaganda ploy to get ,“We The People”, divided on this issue. It was deliberate to force everyone to deal with it. Divide and conquer. Makes no difference what the issue is, just get people divided on it.

If we are to accept this, why not accept child porn as a life style choice? Human sacrifice for the soon to be departed against their will, for religious freedom? Free opium for everyone so we can all trip the light fantastic? Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds anyone? Let's distribute pot in the schools so all the children know and understand what it is. It's all in the Constitution. The right of freedom of choice you know. The Freedom to be happy. For that matter, let's all just go out and take everything we want from anywhere we want and never pay for any of it. It's freedom of choice to do so. Rape should also be legal too since it's a freedom of choice life style. Legalize anarchy as it's our constitutional right to be happy.

Time to call ridiculous what it is.

Sheriff Steve Gentry Steps Down And The Real Reason Is?

As of Friday this past week, Sheriff Steve Gentry stepped down from his recently elected position to spend more time with his family. Well anyone who looks at the facts knows that you do not spend a great deal of time and energy as well as those who invested in getting you re elected into your post and then just step down a few months later. The official reason reported in the papers is because Mr Gentry wants to spend more time with his family. The unofficial reason that has already been made public is sexual harassment or sexual misconduct. I will not defend that but I do question it.

I have a number of years of experience dealing in that area of law. From what I have seen in the public posts about this issue, this is something that has been going on for a long time. Inexcusable as it may be, the legal precedence in this type of situation where sexual harassment has been going on for an extended period is hard if not near impossible to prosecute. The reason as I have seen in the past is because a precedent was set and no early charges were filed. Even where multiple charges are filed through a number of employees, if it has been going on for some time, the precedence has been set. Again, I am not defending what he did if he is in fact guilty of this.

What I am saying however, that the chances of the charges actually going all the way through are not in favor of those making the charges. I am not blaming them for making them either mind you. I just do not see sheriff Gentry stepping down because of these charges. I think it might be some other reason. What that reason is I do not know at this time. But I do know that we are now looking at an all new election for sheriff. It takes a very special kind of individual to fill those shoes. It's a rare person who has the stamina both physically and mentally to handle such a job. You have to play politics at the local, state and federal level. Then you have to deal with all the issues in and around the county. Everything from those who want to argue a ticket to the street criminal and everything in between.

Either way, things are rather interesting to watch right now. This should prove to be an interesting year.

Gloucester To Waste $70,000.00 of Tax Payer Funds?

Back in October of 2011 the majority of Gloucester supervisors voted to spend about $35,000.00 per year over two years on a Pictometry tool for use in aerial photography. Guess no one on the board of supervisors ever heard of Google Earth? A free tool that even the federal government uses? Will show all the aerial photography anyone in the county can use for planning. $70,000.00 can be put to better use in many areas. School funding is cut yet the county has money for a fancy aerial camera that they do not need?

More of your tax dollars working against you. We spend a lot of time criticizing the county on many areas, the objective being to help make Gloucester a better place to live. It is always possible that there are very sound reasons for all the folly we presently are reporting on. Then again, it might just very well be folly that needs to be pointed out and something done about it. There are plenty of families in Gloucester that need help so spending $70,000.00 over two years on an expensive aerial camera in this economy when there are free tools already in place makes no sense. We would like to hear why the county can not use free tools in place of expensive tools. What about the possibility of hiring an outside contractor to take the aerial photography needed at a much lower cost where Google Earth might have some unknown shortfall for county assessments in certain areas?

Gloucester County Court House Circle A Disaster

New Court House Circle A Disaster

by; Steven Klien

Anyone who has had the privilege of driving around the new court house circle will note that the width of the street has been considerably cut down from it's previous size. This has been done in an effort to spend state and federal money or lose that money. Engineering was not well thought out as the new street width is cut down considerably. When parking now occurs on the side of the street and traffic has to get around the new circle, the area is much tighter. Complaints are already coming in that trucks are having a very hard time navigating the area and are driving across the grass and the curbing. I won't say the area did not need some work, but not the total make over that the county has implemented. In a county meeting it has been admitted that the new design was made with the intention of curbing traffic through the area.

Why not put up worthless stop lights to make it very clear to everyone they are not wanted? If you are trying to improve business on Main Street, you do not block or curb the flow of people moving through the area. I have a question here, if you are going to cut down the amount of people coming into an area and there are people who have substantial investments in local businesses and you are hurting those businesses because you have purposely restricted traffic to them, are you going to compensate those business owners or just feel sorry for them when they close shop because they can no longer afford to sit in their shops doing nothing and not making any money?

Why didn't the county wait to start working on the roads and bridges by the library on 17 business until after the court house circle was completed? Now traffic is a major nightmare trying to get to any business on Main Street no matter which direction one takes. Once it's all done it will be nice, no question about it. But at what cost? The sheer lack of planning by those in charge of doing the planning is a nightmare.

Politicians Unresponsive To The Masses

Politicians Unresponsive To The Masses

by; Steven Klien

In TTC Media polls, 96.7% of the people polled said that they believe elected officials should answer to the people who voted them in. 100% of the people answered however that they do not believe that our elected officials actually do answer to those who voted them in. 25% of the people did however feel that once in a while, elected officials make somewhat of an effort to seem like they do care about what their constituents issues are.

Commentary from those polled believe that politicians instead answer to the bankers and wherever the money is flowing from. The statistics do not speak well at all on the current state of political affairs as the polling made no distinction between democrats, republicans or any other political party. Finger pointing from one party to another can not be done here.

The statistics would suggest that the system is now so corrupted that it no longer matters who you vote for or who gets in. Politicians are going to do whatever they want despite the promises and it's for the power and the money, not for the people they are supposed to represent.

The death of the American system as we have been taught from early childhood has been long held by many with more people adding their names to the list. The future isn't looking very bright when it comes to politics.
