What Lee Enterprises cant publish about Montana

An adversary is put in their place.



This is a letter to the local Governments. This is a letter to the Government who mistreats is own taxpayers as long as you all stick together. This is to all that helped or were employed by those governments.

This is to all of their employees. This is to all of their leaders.

This is what happens to people who dont respect laws, rights, and rules:

This is the notches in my belt, and counting coup on the Lee Enterprises Newspaper chain:
http://www.michaelspreadbury.com/2012/06/lets-count-montana-coup.html

YOU DONT EXIST. YOU ARE COMMITTING THE #1 CRIMINAL PRIORITY OF THE FBI.

I DONT BELIEVE IN THE FBI

I BELIVE IN KARMA. IT HAPPENS AT ITS OWN PACE AND TIME.

GOOD LUCK.

Open letter to Hamilton City and Ravalli County residents
This letter is communicate to readers of the Bitterroot Star, and the Bitterroot valley a situation that our public officials (including Governor Brian Schweitzer) chooses to completely ignore due to the “headache”. A copy of this letter is being sent to Mayor Engen of Missoula, who was gracious enough to meet with me in 2009 and might get a better reception with the Governor, and the Missoula County Commission.
The City of Hamilton claims they “incorporated” in 1894. Ravalli County was formed by the Montana Legislature on March 3, 1893. Hopefully by the last two sentences, many people are doing a double take. A county seat such as Hamilton cannot be formed a year after it’s county was.
As tax season is in full swing in April, many of us pay respective taxes to these local governments in this area. The problem arises as the requisite paperwork for Hamilton’s existence are absent, and are non-existent as was admitted in official meeting August 2009 by Mayor Jerry Steele and captured in the documentary “Beneath the Beauty” .

Available: www.BeneaththeBeauty.com
Montana Code indicates that a municipality in Montana such as Hamilton must have a census, petition, record of election, and notice of election to incorporate as is found in MCA§ 7-2-4101 to 7-2-4105. These items must be open to public inspection. Ms. Rose Allen Hamilton City Clerk, Ms. Regina Plettenberg Ravalli County Clerk do not have these items; we inspected the record prior to the 2009 Mayor election, including the Ravalli County Museum.
I purchased a certified plat map of the City of Hamilton on February 25, 2010. While I only wanted to authenticate the city property as publically owned, the map glaringly told a different tale: James H. Hamilton annexed the City of Hamilton to Missoula Co. by sworn affidavit on September 4, 1890. The map is available by searching the Youtube® website for “City of Hamilton, Montana” and viewing a short video of this map.

Actual Map--click on square to view
As we prepare for paying taxes on our properties to the “City” of Hamilton, and Ravalli County, the implication is that we are paying money for tax to a group of people pretending to have a government. The Feds like to prioritize their investigations, public or municipal fraud (misuse of public tax dollars by local government) is the number one (#1) criminal priority, followed by election fraud. As commissioner signs are put up, and Regina Plettenberg prepares for another county election (the #2 criminal priority) this area’s government is in denial of the realities and problems they are truly in.
Ravalli County government cannot exist without a legitimate seat per Montana Code Ann. MCA§7-2-2103. Matt Kanenwisher, and Suzy Foss have been consulted as to this issue and they assure me they take it seriously. My faith in a county attorney making opinion to eliminate his own job is tenuous at best. Instead of addressing the commission, I am electing to write this open letter to inform the public at large.
The Bitterroot Star, myself, the Ravalli County Watchdog site, and Judge Jim Haynes made opinion that public information is not released, nor is public money spent with proper and lawful public notice in Ravalli County. As law enforcement cannot restrain from tampering with evidence, nor students from practicing law, or a city attorney swearing an oath for seven years in office, a common theme is there: unlawful, unincorporated local governments have no obligation to obey the law or respect local taxpayers.
I have queried the Missoula Commission of their ownership of Ravalli County by annexation of Hamilton in 1890. Their response: they will let the Ravalli County Commission take the lead. A popular tactic is to “hold our breath” and wait for an issue to subside; your voice is needed now. As a messenger, it did not go so well as I attempted to put a letter to President Obama concerning the lack of civil rights in this county, and the ministrations of local law enforcement; ten to fifteen million readers are aware that Ravalli County has no incorporated seat. Only until recently has the connection been made regarding actual ownership of the City of Hamilton and the unlawful nature of Ravalli County by Montana Law.

The Montana US President letter: banned from the Bitterroot Public Library, false publication in the Associated Press with aleged involvement by the Montana Supreme Court, and alas, the City of Hamilton does not exist.
[The Bitterroot Public Library gets more than $500,000/yr from the taxpayers in Ravalli County and pays $1 to the "City" of Hamilton for space by fraud]

http://www.montanapoliticalnews.com/2011/06/open-letter-to-president-obama-pleading.html
While I care not for the partisan issues raised locally, I do care for the public taxpayer, and the lawful status of our governments. An unincorporated city cannot have elections, pay employees, or collect taxes. The same can be said for Ravalli County government. The Commissioners are not too keen on putting their pencils down or making efforts with the City of Hamilton to lawfully incorporate (or re-incorporate).
I ask that this issue is not allowed to be ignored. The incorporation process will ask people within the City of Hamilton if incorporation is the right move.
As a city resident, my choice would be to emulate Seeley Lake: no government other than Missoula Co. Are we better without any local government ? My opinion is that the City of Hamilton, and Ravalli County do more harm than good with our tax dollars. The staff of these governments like to gang up on, and abuse the very taxpayers that pay their salaries as public officials of governments locally that dont lawfully exist.
It is irresponsible for the Montana Governor to ignore this critical issue. The same can be said for the Missoula Commission: turning down tens of millions of tax revenue due to it being a “headache” is a disservice to its constituents. As a taxpayer, make your voice known to your unlawful governments to follow Montana Law, or disband.

Lee Enterprises convicts using "journalism"

The account below is copied and credited to the Missoula Independent.  Source of internet URL at bottom of this blog.  This blog is taking the liberty to publish the comments as well as the article.  In Montana Lee Enterprises convicts people on agenda of the local Governments.

I was in a county meeting when it was asked if it were OK to talk about the articles coming out the next day.  Four (4) of Five (5) articles were discussed.  Scam, scum, corruption, cozy are all words you can use here for Lee Enterprises papers in Montana USA.

HOW TO BUILD IN THE BITTERROOT FLOODPLAIN
BY A RAVALLI CO. GEOLOGIST



Never-ending story

Controversial home on Bitterroot continues to languish



Back in December 2007, Tom and Charlotte Robak were ordered to halt construction of a high-end estate along the West Fork of the Bitterroot River. The couple had already spent an estimated $700,000 on the property. Ravalli County officials claimed the structure was going up not just in the river’s floodplain but in the floodway, an overflow channel that can fill up during high-water events. The Robaks promptly sued the county, sparking a contentious and protracted legal battle.“The placement of a home in the floodway is of significant concern to everyone,” then-Deputy County Attorney Alex Beal wrote in a letter to the Robaks’ attorney in 2008. “Not only is there great probability of the Robak house becoming inundated with flood waters, but there is the possibility the home could wash down stream and destroy other property.”

  • Ravalli County ordered Tom and Charlotte Robak to halt construction on their streamside home in 2007, claiming it fell within the Bitterroot River floodway. The house remains unfinished today, and sits at the center of a nearly five-year-old legal battle.
Five years and countless hours of courtroom haggling later and the Robak house still sits unfinished on the banks of the Bitterroot southwest of Darby. The case is scheduled for another status hearing Dec. 13, at which point Deputy County Attorney Howard Recht says the parties will continue to iron out a number of unresolved regulatory issues. Recht says the hearing is just one more minor step on the road to resolution.The Robak case has grown particularly nasty at intervals, with both parties exchanging barbs not just in court but on the pages of local newspapers. The Robaks have accused county officials of tampering with case files, and District Court Judge Jim Haynes has alluded to a greater agenda by the Robaks to challenge the validity of state floodplain laws. But both parties managed to reach something of an understanding this May; the county agreed to drop its counterclaims of public nuisance and punitive damages after the Robaks agreed to drop their own claims of defamation, negligence and violation of due process.The issue that neither party has firmly addressed in the past year is the status of $116,458.80 in outstanding sanctions against the Robaks ordered by Haynes in 2010. Haynes wrote that the Robaks had “sponsored misleading affadavits” and “made affirmative representations that no fill was brought to their property.” The county subsequently had to enlist “a platoon of experts and professionals” at significant expense “to bring Robaks’ misrepresentations and misdeeds to light.” The sanction includes compensation for county staff time as well as depositions, transcripts and $10,215.14 for soil testing. Such sanctions are typically imposed to preserve the integrity of the legal system and deter frivolous legal pleas.“Robaks hold the privilege of a citizen to decline to apply for a floodplain permit,” Haynes wrote in his July 28, 2010 order. “However, citizens have a duty to comply with the locally enacted floodplain laws. Citizens have no right to come into Court and misrepresent material facts regarding their willful non-compliance with the existing floodplain laws and regulations.”The Robaks’ lawyer, Dustin Chouinard, filed a motion to reduce those sanctions in October 2010. That motion has yet to be resolved. The sanctions were not included in the May settlement, and Recht says he doubts the matter will come up during this week’s hearing. Recht says the county is currently focusing on resolving regulatory matters.Even if Haynes’ sanctions do stand, County Commissioner J.R. Iman says he would be “surprised” if the full dollar amount is strictly enforced. Personally, Iman believes the prosecution was “a little over aggressive.” “As far as I’m concerned, it needs to go away,” Iman says of the case, which began the same year he first campaigned for office. “I think [the sanction] is kind of a ‘pound of flesh’ situation.”Iman also suspects former Ravalli County Attorney George Corn’s dogged pursuit of the case played a role in Corn’s loss to current County Attorney Bill Fulbright in the 2010 election. That election saw a rash of Republican victories by conservative candidates who proved popular among anti-zoning advocates.Tom Robak has certainly been active in anti-zoning circles over the years. He spoke out against a countywide growth policy in 2008, believing it would negatively impact real estate values and local jobs. He also founded the Big Sky Coalition in 2007 with the primary intent of promoting increased logging in the Bitterroot Valley, though the group was briefly active in opposing a streamside setback ordinance as well.The Robaks attempted to secure a permit from the county last year to remove a gravel bar and stabilize the riverbank upstream of their home, which is about 80 percent complete. The application went up for public comment last month and is still being reviewed.  See Comments BELOW.......

Here's some additional context for this story. People may recall that back around 2006 Tom Robak started a Bitterroot Valley pro-logging group called the "Big Sky Coalition: Environmentalists with Common Sense."

The basic thrust of the group was that the Bitterroot wildfires were caused by timber sale lawsuits from environmentalists (even through the Bitterroot National Forest had seen only three timber sale lawsuits in the previous 15 years). The Big Sky Coalition wanted to see our nation's environmental laws weakened/gutted and the public citizen review processes suspended, to facilitate more logging. (Hmmm....almost seems as if Senator Tester and his mandated logging "collaborators" at Montana Wilderness Association had a similar idea....but that's for another story).

At the time, around 2006/07, the Missoulian and Ravalli Republic were giving quite extensive, sympathetic, one-sided press to Mr. Robak and his Big Sky Coalition.

It seemed as if nobody at the Missoulian or Republic (at the time) paid much mind to looking into Mr. Robak's background, or explore many of the Bitterroot Valley rumors that circulated about Mr. Robak's home allegedly build in the floodway of the West Fork of the Bitterroot River or Mr. Robak's alleged bank-rolling of Ravalli County's anti-streamside setback organization, ironically called "Higher Ground Foundation."

In fact, in the fall of 2007, even the Big Sky Coalition was spending thousands of dollars running anti-streamside setback ads in Bitterroot Valley papers, prompting some to wonder just what a pro-logging group has to do with opposing streamside setbacks. The connection clearly was one Mr. Tom Robak.

Anyway, here's some more information for people to explore and consider. In the meantime, here's a little nursery rhyme:

Ro Ro Robak your house,
Gently up the stream....

This is all the 20 year legacy of George H Corn, who now is a flunky shyster for one of Missoula's biggest "Greek bearing gifts" law firms. Corn was involved in every kind of scam to profit from the "Flood Plain" regulation. There are not many sections left on any part of the Bitterroot that have not been raped and pillaged by the big buck developers. One needs to go no further than a stones throw from the "Ravalli County Courthouse" and look to the left of the Main street bridge, to see the same thing in process. This one gets more involved because it is within the "city limits" of the Bogus community of Hamilton. Hamilton never Incorporated, skims off all kinds of payoffs if you want to do something that would be illegal anywhere else. A town of less than 4000 people with 15 paid cops, that is not incorporated and is listed as the County Seat? Bitterroot motto, "we know we do it wrong, but thats the way we always do it."

This article brings out the obvious role of the Lee Enterpise publications; the Ravalli Republic and the Missoulian, as the instigators of the George H Corn syndicate during his 20 year reign as County Attorney. There were few if any things that would come to court that had not already tried, convicted, and executed by the "Ravalli County system of Injustice". Lee Enterprises declared Bankruptcy to avoid the massive lawsuits piled up in court due to their scandalous corrupt journalism, and I use that term loosely. There is plenty of room in prison for the County and city officials, Judges, and Shysters that were all a part of this pile of human dung.

An Early Christmas Gift to LEE

Missoulian is covering for Montana officials

[Missoulian is a newspaper "flagship" for Lee Enterprises, their publisher resigned recently]

This video drove Stacey Mueller, Missoulian Publisher to resign within 10 days of publication.

Friday, June 17, 2011


The Missoulian, and other Lee Enterprise papers in the State of Montana have been busy covering up articles which might shed truth on their "clients"

Their clients include in the last week:

  • Dean Irma Russell the University of Montana Law School Missoula Montana
  • Steve Bullock the Montana Attorney General Helena, Montana
  • Anthony Johnstone, the Montana Solicitor General at the Montana AG, Helena, Montana
  • Bill Fulbright Ravalli County Attorney Hamilton, Montana
  • Mat Stevenson private Defense Attorney in Missoula Montana
Why is a newspaper writing articles for Montana public and private officials? Is this what it means to create the news? Lee Enterprises seem to be working hard to keep the corruption going, and suppress the truth.

Most Americans don't trust the print media today, but when Lee Enterprises papers in Montana act as shields to corrupt institutions or officials it defrauds the public, and compromises journalistic principles. We often are told how to think about a subject merely by the way it is written. Words like "its only natural to think this way" are printed in today's print media. Do they think we are that dumb to tell us what to think?

Across the state of Montana, the Billings Gazette, The Helena Independent record, the Missoulian, and the Ravalli Republic are trying their hardest to play defense for some slimy organizations, and officials in Montana. Remember how well private security contractors were regarded after IRAQ? Why do newspapers in Montana think they are any better than a paid service to misinform the people? While they might not wear Black, or have body armor on, its the same principle:

infowars.com

Mercenaries come in a few varieties. Within the Montana print media, its the perception that their work is on the "up and up" when really its just the same: oppression of the people's voice, and the true newsworthy articles. What is the difference between a Blackwater USA employee and a Lee Enterprise one:

I have seen death by proximate cause of reporting. By keeping the last ranked justice system together under orders of local and state governments, that is a Racket, and a criminal enterprise.

Now Montana thinks it is too big to fail. There are too many co-workers to the "Co-Op" and collectively cower together and get paid. While some say that the media business has driven print media like Lee Enterprises and others into this mold, I say where is the integrity?

By covering Montana officials with articles to suppress the truth from the people is no better than putting on body armor and oppressing the people as a former Blackwater USA employee.

Lee Enterprises counsel could face prison

In a case for defamation in Montana (where Lee has a print media Monopoly), Lee's retained attorneys decided that it was safe to make several false statements contained within a sworn affidavit to a court.

Is it so Lee Enterprises?

Are corporate attorneys so arrogant that they think an educated self represented litigant cant represent themselves to a court? Or don't court rules apply to Lee Enterprise attorneys?

The fate of Lee's retained defense counsel will rest in the hands of the Federal Judiciary, if they are to be trusted. Conflicts of interest, paid conflicts of interests were ignored by Federal Judges appointed by US Senator Maxmillion Baucus of Montana. Sources close to the case say that Max Baucus called out the defamation hit to begin with, and has improper influence over Lee Enterprises and the US District Judges in Montana.  Lee might suck, but Baucus is Scum:
www.Youtube.com/user/BaucusTruthUSA

Lee is in the middle of a debt crisis, and a NYSE impotence: we recommended VIAGRA or ENRON:

Lee Enterprises officials did not do well in math, business courses, or legal advice. Of course we, as victims of Lee Enterprises think Lee Sucks at everything. Why would they take on $27M in more debt every year with less workforce in the worst Economy since the 1930's?
read more: http://www.leeenterprisessucks.com/2011/09/lees-fuzzy-math.html

While we don't ever expect Lawyers to go to jail for their crimes, Lee Enterprises retained counsel decided to try to pull a criminal fast one. While we are outing this stuff, lets name the law firm, and see if their reputation will also fall like Lee's.

Garlington, Lohn & Robinson.

This firm, above giving known false statements in a sworn affidavit, gave $250,000.00 US to the University of Montana Law School for their $40M expansion. Like GLR, the UM Law school teaches how to be in contempt of court [Montana Code Ann. MCA 45-7-309(c)] as a unlicensed unsupervised law student (Angela Wetzsteon '08). GLR and LEE like lawyers willing to commit crime; must have been the reason for the donation to the cause: they are looking for a few good criminals.
 The University of Montana Law Insider:
http://www.industrywhistleblower.com/2011/05/um-law-insider.html

UPDATE: Within 4 hours of proving false statements by Lee, a US Magistrate Judge in Missoula Montana PROTECTED lee with a "safe harbour".  Does anyone wonder why people are "Occupying America" right now?  Corporate America is protected by the US Government.

2nd UPDATE: Publisher Stacey Mueller of Lee's Missoulian Missoula MT has resigned the day after the false information, which she most likely gave the corporate attorneys at GLR.

Ok, so case closed. Lee Sucks, and retains criminals to defend them.

Finders Keepers

Virginia Bolen of Hamilton Montana was one of the first brave stances against local corruption, and violation of her rights. Her account, very thoughtfully written, documents law enforcement abuses against a senior AMERICAN citizen in Montana.

At approximately 70 years of age, she was charged with a FELONY for finding a valuable watch. It turns out, the owner was friends with the former county attorney's wife.
read more: www.GeorgeCorn.com

Virginia Bolen wrote a book of her experience called Finders Keepers, the strange encounter with local law (enforcement).

Find it at Amazon at:
http://www.amazon.com/Finders-Keepers-Citizens-Bizarre-Encounter/dp/0595508022

The book describes how the local press, mostly Lee Enterprises papers in Montana were helping the hype of the story, and Bolen shrewdly uses the newspaper accounts to their demise.

Hats off and Moxy to Virginia Bolen, featured and interviewed in "Beneath the Beauty" documentary describing her ordeal, with the Ravalli County Sheriff Department, the Ravalli County Attorney Office, specifically former prosecutor Michael Reardon; up for election as Hamilton City Judge in November 2011.

Hamilton Judge Reardon Recall affidavit:
http://www.ethicscomplaint.com/2011/05/judge-michael-reardon-hamilton-mt.html
[Note-Michael Reardon requested enhanced penalty for Bolen, due to crime being so "heinous"]

Virginia Bolen's book is a whistleblower media, and a courageous effort.
a must read in our days of struggle to sustain our established rights in America.

If more Americans such as Virginia Bolen demonstrated their tenacity to fight local corruption, the citizens of this country would not be facing a vortex of judicial problems. Please read Finders Keepers from Virginia Bolen, and decide if Montana is a place where your hard earned income should be spent to support tourism (the state's ranking source of income). Montana sits last in the Continental US for Justice, per the US Justice Department in 2007: Mrs. Bolen describes why in her book.

Lee Enterprises - Profiteers without Ethics - Lee Enterprises

Many people are aware of "Doctors without Boarders" who volunteer at disasters throughout the world.

Well, the print media company Lee Enterprises Davenport, Iowa are "Profiteers without Ethics".

What kind of scum take pay to defame people?  What kind of Scum write more than thirty (30) articles about someone with defamatory electronic comments?  What kind of print media company has no regard for the FIRST AMENDMENT? (see video below, and just below).

Charged with Trespass after this video the day I sat on public property August 20, 2009.

Law, protected rights did not matter

On September 20, 2009 Lee Enterprises printed a pictoral front page story.


What company can brag that it profiteers off of unconstitutional behavior?  Have we forgotten the penalty for treason in this country, or more likely, we let the LAWYERS define our every morsel of life.
 
The Lee Papers in Montana are doing this cute recoiling and attempt at protecting Perry Backus from our posts.  If you believe in "eye for an "eye, we have about 25 more articles before we match their level of professionalism [except that we are telling the truth, and not defaming anyone].

I had a telephone conversation with Stacey Mueller, Publisher of the Missoulian within the last year or so.  Ms. Mueller listened as I explained how I helped a HOLOCAUST survivor at the New York State floods in 2006.  He had the tattoos on his arm still.  What in the bleeping hell has Lee Enterprises done to help anyone in need, other than their own bottom line?

Lee takes money from local and state government in Montana to protect the worst state in the union for justice.  They are told what to print, literally [I heard this in a county meeting, prior to an official ask the rest of the meeting if it were "ok" to talk about].  We have criminals openly operating in Montana: the Lee Enterprise papers who have a monopoly on the state newspapers.

There is sick pleasure in printing stories about say "kitty abuse", like domestic cat abuse in Missoula Montana.  The man accused took his own life due to the coverage from Lee Enterpreises: a scrolling headline, and a front page picture and story.  How many high fives of look how powerful we are do you think went down in the Missoulian offices in Missoula Montana?  When a newspaer has to show how powerful it is by making people want to kill themselves, Ms. Stacey Mueller, Publisher is to blame.

[Update--Ms. Mueller resigned her post as publisher--within 10 days of this video below]


Lee sucks because they have no values, they take money from a state government that would put Afghanistan to shame for corruption.  That is why we nicknamed it "Montanistan".  Lee Enterprises makes this wonderful state and keeps this wonderful state Beneath the Beauty.

Funny, we made a documentary about Montana called just that: www.BeneaththeBeauty.com.

So we are not being sophomoric, we really think Lee sucks.  They suck due to criminal rackets with local governments in Montana, and no ethical standard whatsoever.

For example, have you ever heard of a political race as a "trouncing" [when the loser got 30% of the vote].  Welcome to the wonderful world of Lee Enterprises in Montana.  They completely SUCK.
