Ferguson Timeline and the politician's role in the current police brutality mess. Part 2

Recap:

We went over who was involved in the racist e-mails, who was fired because of it, the conflicts of interest, who redacted info pertaining to racist material in the e-mails before handing them over to an archiving company, who was involved in the sifting, the search terms used to find the questionable material,the officer's roles in this, and how they all connect to the sources of funding.  Now we're focusing on what happened to the Missouri auditor:

We already know how the media was pushing for the "I committed suicide because I was being bullied for being Jewish angle, right?  Then it changed to, "He could have died because of interactions with medication".  But what mainstream media didn't account for was that the Missouri Auditor found several discrepancies in the budgets of several towns all across the state.

One of his findings was twenty eight city officials were caught embezzling money in Jefferson City, MO. He found that one tax collector stole $568,000 and a sheriff’s deputy took $18,000 from inmates accounts. Another person stole $568,000 from farmers paying off their taxes. This theft caused the farmers accounts to go delinquent, but the person who stole the money was giving them receipts saying their taxes were paid. According to the article, the state was only able to get half of the funds back to their perspective accounts, but only fifteen people have been charged with theft and only nine have been convicted.

The auditor found many many errors in budgeting all across the state, including the following cities and circumstances:

01/26/14 Audit shows that Missouri has excessive state planes." The auditor’s office says 19 is at least one plane too many. It found that only on 51 days out of those two years was the state’s passenger fleet used to capacity. On 459 days three or more of the six passenger planes sat idle, and all of them went unused on 69 days."

06/10/14-Webster County clerk, Billy H Breitenstein stole $17,677 by using a company credit card.

09/08/14- Governor Nixon's budget cuts were questioned, saying Nixon extended his powers by balancing the budget by barring $161 million in spending. He also said Nixon's budgeting process was inaccurate, and said the holding of said funds was illegal under the Missouri State constitution. The article also states:

Schweich contends Nixon violated that second constitutional prong, because he continued to freeze spending despite the fact that state general revenues slightly exceeded the revised estimate for the 2012 fiscal year.

The governor’s written response contends the “consensus revenue estimate” - agreed to by executive and legislative budget officials - is not legally binding and that governors must also consider other things impacting state revenues when making budget decisions.

Schweich countered that Nixon’s administration was “contorting and distorting the constitutional authority to allow them to do what they want to do.”

09/17/14-Neosho Mo mayor Jimmi Brown of Reddings Mill Mo, wrote checks for over $9000 in personal expenses.

09/30/14- FBI audit of St. Louis County Health department shows 3.4 million dollars being embezzled. The funds were used for child care, dog kennel services, landscaping, fast food, among other things.  However, it had been discovered that Edward Meuth, a Senior manager for the St. Louis County Health Department bilked millions of dollars from the budget over several years. He used the funds to create a company and he billed the county for services and goods it never received. He also lived in a 1.5 million dollar mansion and had an airplane while only making $86,000 a year from St. Louis County. He also procured four machine guns, luxury cars a motorcycle and used the funds for $200,000 in landscaping. It had been said that he committed suicide once he was caught.

The actual FBI audit had not been disclosed to the public. According to insurancenewsnet.com, "As of today, however, neither an explanation of how the $3.4 million fraud went undetected for so long nor the findings of an FBI audit completed for the county in January have been made public -- not even to members of the St. Louis County Council or the county's own prosecutor.

Only a handful of Dooley's closest advisers have seen any details about the embezzlement or January's audit.

One of those is Garry Earls, the county's chief operating officer."

However, there are questions as to who has seen the report, who has custody of it and whether or not the information could be released.

"Yet, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri, Richard Callahan, informed the county earlier this month that the FBI had closed its investigation. The inquiry had not found "anyone, other than Mr. Mueth, who was involved in that criminal enterprise," he wrote in a June 2 letter to County Counselor Patricia Redington.

County officials insist they still are bound by federal authorities' request from January not to disclose the findings even though the federal investigation is over.

"The letter is self-explanatory," Redington said last week, referring to the Jan. 31 correspondence. "It has always been our policy to cooperate and follow the instructions of the FBI in any matter."

However, Rebecca Wu, spokeswoman for the FBI's St. Louis office, made clear Friday that it was now in the hands of the county, not the FBI, to release the audit information.

"The FBI conducted the forensic audit at the request of the St. Louis County Police Department. It is up to St. Louis County Police Department to release its investigation, not the FBI," she said."

County Police Chief Jon Belmar said last week that his department was about to wrap up a final aspect of its own investigation -- an examination of the texts and emails on Mueth's smartphone, desktop computer and laptops.

"We're waiting on the forensic analysis of the electronic equipment that might show if anyone else was involved in a conspiracy with Mr. Mueth or who might have benefited from the stolen assets," the chief said.

Belmar said the department expects to release its findings early next month."

(The article was written in June 30, 2014, and the findings have yet to be released)

Meanwhile, members of the County Council are questioning why Dooley's administration* has not disclosed information about January's FBI audit, which has been in the possession of top administration officials since February.

"They keep us out of the loop on everything," Councilman Pat Dolan, D-5th Distric, said. "We represent the people of the county, and we should know what's going on. We shouldn't have to hear it from a media outlet."

Council member Greg Quinn, R-7th District, said the lack of transparency was particularly troubling in light of the ongoing effort by Dooley to gain council approval for a $94,000 independent "forensic assessment" to help the county avoid a repeat of the scheme that permitted the fraud to go undetected for six years.

Even County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch -- who would have tried the case if the health department scandal had gone to trial -- says he did not learn of the audit until this month.

"I had no idea it existed," McCulloch said.

 *County Executive Charlie Dooley

10-09-2014 - An audit was launched for Ferguson and several other counties, highlighting excessive ticketing fees.  Mayor Knowles responded: “No matter what we did, he’s going to have to look at us. I understand that,” Knowles said. “Because we were the focal point. But we’ve got a good finance staff. And that’s something we’ve been cognizant of for years making sure we don’t have our fines and forfeitures get too high – especially not nearly high enough to be snared by the state law.

“And we’re making a commitment to go much further now even still,” 

10/10/14- Tom S. wanted to audit municipal city courts. They were expected to be audited in 2015. The point was to put a cap on ticket fees. Ferguson was on that list.

12/14/14- Ferguson increased ticketing in order to close the budget gap. Jeffrey Blume, Ferguson’s finance director says, "Even with the increased ticketing, a $4.09 million revenue shortfall will remain for fiscal 2015. The city will bridge that gap by drawing on its $10.3 million unassigned reserve, the last of its reserve funds. "

12/16/14- Dallas County Sheriff found using company car, violating the time off policy and handling evidence.

02/19/2015 A criminal investigation was launched on the St. Joseph School District based on the auditor's findings. 

Tom S was found dead on February 27, 2015

03/03/15 - The death of Tom S was said to be related to anti Semetic bullying

03/30/15- The Missouri auditor's spokesperson Robert "Spence" Jackson. found dead.

A suicide note dated March 27 had been claimed to be found at the spokesperson's home.  However, something doesn't add up. Here's the video of Captain Doug Shoemaker

04/16/15- Speculation of prednisone use was cause of the auditor's death

While listening to the video, Captain Shoemaker of the Jefferson City Missouri Police Department said, "I will not provide copies of the note, photographs of the note, I will read"... (then he stammers and says,) "I've written what it says and I will provide it verbally to you." at the 2 minute and 16 second mark.

According the note, it says, "I'm so sorry I just can't take being unemployed again". 

That's it. 

Now if my memory serves me correct, the spokesperson could be employed anywhere in the country. He would have no trouble obtaining employment. Why would he say he can't take being unemployed? That doesn't make sense. I suspect there is a cover up because the auditor was outspoken, and he did his job very well to the point where he found issues all across the entire state. As long as the auditor can not speak up, then his spokesperson could. And so the spokesperson had to be killed as well.

Not only that, Chief Jon Belmar, Robert McCulloch, and the County Executive Charles Dooley are involved withholding the FBI's findings, and the FBI's spokesperson said it should be available. Chief Belmar said it should have been available July of 2014.

It's still unavailable a year later.  

Ferguson Timeline and the politician's role in the current police brutality mess. Part 1

I know you're probably thinking I'm extra late, but there was a reason why I'm going back over this Ferguson situation. As we approach the one year anniversary of Mike Brown's death, a lot of issues haven't been addressed. From the looks of things, Ferguson is in worse shape than it started before Brown was shot. A lot of questions went unanswered, a lot of issues haven't been addressed, and a lot of subjects were left untouched. Even the Department of Justice was only able to scratch the surface, but there was more to meets the eye, so I decided to take a stab at it. I managed to bite off more than I could chew. Here's what I found: 

From the beginning, Mayor James Knowles managed to distance himself from all of the craziness that took place. What you see below is a picture of him at a party (he's wearing a green shirt in the circle to the far left).  

But look at the second circle. That's Darren Wilson, the officer who shot Mike Brown and was made an instant millionaire. In the second picture, you will see the person in the green circle is Mary Ann Twitty, (as seen in the green circle below) the person who was outed regarding the racist e-mails. Not only that, she was also accused of fixing traffic tickets for her colleagues.



Now before this happened, she did an interview saying that the e-mails went through the entire department, and come to find out, Ferguson contracted a company called Acumen Counsulting in order to filter their e-mails:

Here's the actual 52 page contract in pdf format.



In the document, there is an e-mail correspondence between Robert Wagnon, the president of the company, and Megan Asikainen, the county clerk regarding the need to redact information.

This particular exchange stood stood out to me  on page 16 of the pdf.  On the e-mail below,  Asikainen states the following : Our city Attorney will need to do some review and redaction. She saw your PDF was fine for her to work from as far as making redactions.

Now sure, I understand various sensitive info pertaining to health conditions, etc as mentioned by Wagnon would need to be omitted for obvious reasons, but what other information was omitted by Pam Hylton?  Could tampering with the case be exactly why she stepped down and then took a job in Richmond Heights?


Here, Wagnon asks for the governor's e-mail before anything else could happen.



It appears the Mayor Knowles is under investigation as well. 

Now, as mentioned earlier, Mary Ann Twitty said that the racist e-mails went through the entire department.

Here's the list of officers in a two part listing, with the second part mentioning the search terms. This is part 1




And this is part 2. Please note that Tim Allen is listed in part 1 as well:




But the St. Louis and the Ferguson Police department say otherwise through their COPTALK forum, meaning they had a LOT to say regarding the subjects surrounding the search terms listed in the above e-mail.:

Here, a user by the name of Judge Dredd publicly listed the criminal records of Mike Brown's parents.  If one were to do a search on the Case.Net listing complete with the series of numbers and letters below and the words "case.net", it pulls up Michael Brown Sr's criminal record.

After finding out about the protesters setting up a fake wedding registry through amazon.com, they refer to the protesters as domestic terrorists, and threaten to contact Amazon.com by calling them and writing a copy and pasted letter as indicated below. They were instructed to use their real names.

Here, they offer to give outdated armor to other cops "in the midst of battle" just in case. Later, the person thanks a man by the name of "Matt" for supplying it to a former Wellston police officer that previously had outdated armor..

Here they talk about how policing in the 70s was "fun" and that body cameras take the fun out of the job before insinuating about the economic conditions of the citizens.

One user who went by the name of "On the line" speaks about abusing prescription drugs, picturing the protesters naked, and doing the same for the police commanders.:

Another officer gives encouragement to On the line for abusing drugs on the job:

The officers also threatened the St. Louis Post Dispatch after a damning article was written that showed all of the eye witnesses accounts in the Darren Wilson case as matching. The article they referred to was copied and pasted into the forum as read below. At the end of the article, a user suggests the original poster, listed as "Unreal",  should click on another link in order to retaliate against the journalist for writing the article.

Here, a user by the name of "someone" lists the information for the CEO of the St. Louis Post Dispatch so they could complain to the office in hopes to get the journalist fired or reassigned. 

Now, add that to the things I already mentioned regarding to Ferguson in the Confederate Flag blog, and -The COONeKKKtion Blog-, (do a CTRL+F for the word "Ferguson in the COONeKKKtion section and  read the info on the Counsel of Conservative Citizens, or the CCC as shown in both blogs, then you will find how the entire thing was funded, who contributed to it, and where the funds came from (reddit, the CCC, and Stormfront,).  You will also see who is fueling this for political gain, whose eating it up, and whose trying to shut people up,which brings me to my next point: The mysterious death of the Missouri Auditor and his spokesperson.

To be continued...
