Black Friday: A Shameful Orgy Of Materialism For A Morally Bankrupt Nation
It has been called "America's most disturbing holiday". Black Friday is the day when millions of average Americans wait outside retail stores in the middle of the night in the freezing cold to spend more money that they do not have for more cheap Chinese-made products that they do not need. It is a day when the rest of the world makes fun of Americans for behaving like "rabid animals" and "zombies" as we indulge in a tsunami of greed. It truly is a shameful orgy of materialism for a morally bankrupt nation. It is being projected that approximately 140 million Americans will participate in this disgusting national ritual this year. Sadly, most of them have absolutely no idea that they are actively participating in the destruction of the economic infrastructure of the United States. If you don't understand why this is true, please be sure to read this entire article all the way to the end.
The amount of merchandise that is purchased on Black Friday is absolutely staggering. For example, just consider how much stuff is sold at Wal-Mart alone...

McDonald’s Outrageous Employee ‘Holiday Advice’ Hits Children Hardest
McDonald’s financial tips to its employees for getting through the holiday, such as selling possessions on eBay and Craigslist, has outraged some mothers across the nation. They say low minimum wages is most injurious to females – mothers in particular, and that means America’s children.
“Disturbed. That’s how I felt after seeing the latest holiday news coming out of some of our country’s biggest businesses,” says Elyssa Koldin Schmier along with a team heading the non-profit group Mom’s Rising in a written statement this week.
ABC News reports McDonald’s holiday advice to its employees - “financial tips” like, “Selling some of your unwanted possessions on eBay or Craigslist could bring in some quick cash.”
The U.S.-based mega-company also advised, “Sing away stress: singing along to your favorite songs can lower your blood pressure.”
Mothers and children deserve better, according to Mom’s Rising, who wants the public to know just how tragic the situation is.
“Working parents need more than advice to sing their favorite songs in order to relieve financial stress. We need to raise the minimum wage,” says Koldin Schmier. “Right now, $14,500 is what is earned while working full-time year round at federal minimum wage.”
As widely reported by media, a Walmart in Ohio is “holding a food drive—for its own employees. That helped prompt a Walmart employee walk-out this Black Thursday. (and a subsequent resignation by one of the company’s leaders.)
“I usually have Thanksgiving Day with my children,” a local Wal-Mart employee told this author Tuesday. “This year, I’ll be here working all day.”

Life in Occupied Gaza
From Stephen Lendman
11-24-13 |
After Hamas won January 2006 elections, Israel imposed embargo conditions. In mid-2007, siege followed.
It has nothing to do with Israeli security. It's collective punishment. It's occupation harshness writ large. It's making an entire population suffer.
It's doing it maliciously. It reflects slow-motion genocide. It's lawless. It's ruthless. World leaders turn a blind eye. Doing so makes them complicit.
Gazan suffering continues. An Oxfam update calls conditions worse than ever. Gazans are trapped. They're largely isolated. More from Oxfam below.
Crisis conditions persist. Over 80% of the population depends on humanitarian aid. Blockade devastated Gaza's economy.
Official poverty and unemployment figures way understate reality. Half or more of all young people have no jobs. Poverty and deprivation reflect daily life.
Israel bears full responsibility. Blockading Gaza constitutes a crime against humanity. Regular incursions and air attacks compound things. They're war crimes.
On November 19 alone, Israel warplanes conducted seven airstrikes. Multiple locations were struck.
Two Khan Younis area chicken farms were completely destroyed. Around 4,000 chicks and some sheep were killed.
No human casualties were reported. Other areas were attacked. Doing so reflects Israeli viciousness. It consider civilians legitimate targets. International law says otherwise.
Israel gets away with murder and then some. James Rawley is UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for the Occupied Palestinian Territories. He addressed Gazan conditions, saying:
"...I am sorry to report that the situation for Gaza's 1.7 million people is worse than it was before" Israel's Operation Pillar of Cloud.

More Here: http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=293003In the depths of cyberspace lurks a press release written by the CDC, confirming that the OPV, or oral polio vaccination, given to millions of children throughout the developing world, is causing them to develop vaccine-induced polio. Instead of banning the vaccination, as one would expect, the CDC has decided in its wisdom that the best way to tackle the problem is to maintain a high rate of vaccination in all countries! Yes, that is correct. The CDC recommends maintaining a high rate of vaccination, vaccinating as many children as possible with a vaccine that causes polio. |
Was JFK an Illum Blood Sacrifice? Shocking New Evidence From JFK Assassination–One of the Only Living Witnesses Tells All!
JFK, an Illluminati ‘blood sacrifice’? Is it possible?
In Illuminati code, the “killing of a king rite” is a sacrifice that must be made to the moon goddess to grant illuminated Freemasons a landing on the moon. Kennedy was killed under an oak tree at 12:22 p.m. on the eleventh month of the twenty-second day, at the moment when the sun was the highest, in the outdoor Temple of the Sun called Dealey Plaza. -Randy DeMain
On November 22 is the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy. Together, as a nation, we will be mourning one of America’s greatest tragedies, and greatest mysteries—who really shot President Kennedy, and why?
However, most people have varying opinions on what took place that day. Even you have your opinion as you are reading this now. Do you believe Lee Harvey Oswald was the guilty party, as they accused? Or, do you think it is something far more sinister and secret?
What do most Americans believe happened that day fifty years ago? You’ll be surprised!

Cops Make Woman Wearing No Pants Do Field Sobriety Test Over And Over Again (Video)
It is obvious why they would do this. This is a form of sexual harrassment but not exactly something you can prove when all they are doing is their job.

The Murky Waters of Merck Pharmaceuticals
(The Best Years in Life) Merck is an international pharmaceutical giant that retains high profits despite recently paying out almost 5 billion dollars for to settle Viox civil lawsuits. Another several million in government agency fines were levied against Merck for other federal violations regarding Vioxx. Despite the known mounting death toll for Vioxx for five years, Merck continued promoting and selling Vioxx for high profits.
Vioxx, originally intended for arthritic pain relief, had created 27,000 heart attacks, and by 2004 it had to be recalled after its profitable run since 1999.
Vaccine manufacturing is a good business for sociopaths. Drug companies are exempt from direct liability for adverse results from vaccines. Vaccines require less testing than drugs for diseases, and they're cheaper to manufacture.
So they have huge profit margins without accountability, and vaccines licensing regulations are confusing enough to not be concerned about generic vaccines entering the market. A vaccine manufacturer can keep on keeping on and enjoying strong profits while its inventor continues getting royalties.
And Merck is perhaps the biggest player in the vaccine business.

UPDATE – Arrested For Feeding Himself Man Found Guilty! (Video)
By Susan Duclos
[UPDATE 11/24/13] Exclusive interview with Mr. Tertelgte found HERE.
On Thursday I wrote about Ernie Wayne Tertelgte, who insisted in court that the law had no right to try or arrest him for fishing without a license because he belongs under natural and universal law where he is entitled to feed himself and fend for himself.
The comments and support for Ernie has been overwhelmingly in his favor, people called the courts, the papers, even some saying this man should be up for president because he “gets it.”
Well, Ernie was brought back to court and they found him guilty, after having him removed from the court, in handcuffs, for objecting to the entire proceedings.

So there I was
in one of those giant discount stores
trying on a new pair of pants in the dressing room
a cool neutral voice said
“changing your underwear is politics
and by the way when was the last time
you cut your toenails
wearing or not wearing a watch is politics
that mole near your left knee is political
the calcium deposit on your right ankle is political
the way you look at yourself in the mirror is political
those three years of your life in the 60s we can’t account for
are political”
The curtain brushed aside and a tall naked woman walked in
she ran a black instrument over the new pants
-a loud buzz-
“they’re radioactive,” she said “testicular cancer in three months
try the pink drawstring sweat pants instead”

The Hunger Games Are Real: We Are The Districts (Video)
The few rich men who control the Capitol have successfully managed to consolidate the majority of the nation’s wealth into their hands. The Capitol has taken away food stamps from hungry families and given it to their rich benefactors in the form of tax breaks, subsidies, and other forms of corporate welfare. Career politicians are even smashing up the possessions of homeless people with a sledgehammer with impunity, while wearing designer clothes.

An On-Duty Officer Did the ‘Unthinkable’ to a Teenage Girl After Placing Her in Cuffs & Rendering Her Helpless
An 11-year veteran of the San Antonio Police Department is accused of sexually assaulting a teenager after pulling her over for a traffic stop Friday morning.
Police say 40-year-old Jackie Neal pulled over the 19-year-old and then groped the woman before placing her in handcuffs and sexually assaulting her in the back of his squad car, according to San Antonio Express News.
San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said the attack was “unthinkable.”
“I am angry. I am outraged. It’s a punch in the eye to the police department, this kind of conduct,” McManus said. “We won’t tolerate it for a second. And I think the swiftness of the investigation and the arrest is indicative of that.”

Handcuffed NC teen ends up shot dead in backseat of cop car, police deny involvement
A handcuffed 17-year-old North Carolina boy died of gunshot wounds in a Durham Police Department patrol car Tuesday morning, according to a 911 recording made public Wednesday.
Jesus Huerta was being transported to police headquarters on a trespassing charge by officer Samuel A.M. Duncan when, in the department’s parking lot, Duncan heard the shot from the backseat and jumped out of the car, leaving it to roll into a van with Huerta still inside, Durham police said.
In the recording of the 911 call, a police officer radioed emergency dispatchers just before 3 am EST Tuesday morning to report “shots fired” in the parking lot of the station. The dispatcher asked the calling officer if he was hurt, according to the recording. “I don’t believe so,” the officer said in response.
The officer is heard asking for medical assistance for a "gunshot wound. Approximately 18-year-old male, not breathing."
Ahead of the released recording, later on the morning of Huerta’s death, Durham Police Chief Jose Lopez said his department didn’t know how the young man died, but said “based on the preliminary investigation, it does not appear that any Durham police officer fired a weapon during this incident.”

A four-month-old Orangutan is recovering after having the tips of his fingers hacked off, allegedly during forest clearances for a new oil palm plantation in Indonesian Borneo.
Sura, who was discovered by a resident of the Tumbang Koling village in East Kotawaringin Regency, is being nursed back to health by specialists at the Nyaru Menteng Rescue centre.
Vets carried out a full health check and discovered three of his fingers had been severed by either a knife or machete.

Convenience store worker sues Florida police for racial profiling after they stopped him 258 times for trespassing at his JOB
A Florida convenience store owner and his employee plan to sue the city of Miami Gardens and its police department for racial profiling after his employee was questioned by police 258 times, searched more than 100 times, jailed 56 times and arrested for trespassing 62 times.
Alex Saleh, the proprietor at the 207 Quickstop on Northwest 207 Street in Miami Gardens, said he has more than two dozen surveillance videos to support his case.
The employee at the centre of the controversy, Earl Sampson, 28, says police officers constantly harass him while he’s at work, sometimes two to three times a day, without any justified cause.
‘They’re always stopping me, going in my pockets, asking me for my ID, running my name,’ Sampson told CBS4. ‘I feel like I can’t even be in my own neighborhood anymore.’
In three separate instances on the video clips, police can be seen questioning the same man at the same location.
Sampson’s lengthy rap sheet is filled with minor infractions, including more than 60 citations for trespassing, mostly at the 207 Quickstop, where he works.
‘I’ve seen the outrageous police abusing people in the community. They’ve been treating the people wrong, Saleh said.

“Blood Avocados”: The Dark Side of Your Guacamole
AUTHOR: Jan-Albert Hootsen
These idyllic farms grow millions of pounds of avocados that Americans consume every year. But there’s a dark story lurking beneath the surface of the fleshy green fruit—and the bowls of guacamole it produces. A drug cartel known as the Caballeros Templarios, the Knights Templar, has infiltrated the avocado sector, and now controls the local trade, from production to distribution.
In Mexico, the avocado is called aguacate. It has been a staple food here for thousands of years. It’s also Michoacán’s principal export: 72 percent of all Mexican avocado plantations are located in the state. More than 80 percent of Michoacán’s avocados are exported to the United States—the bulk of them of the fatty Hass variety. In the latter half of 2012 and the early part of 2013, the U.S. imported nearly $1 billion worth of avocados from this state. Not surprisingly, a common nickname for the fruit is oro verde, green gold, because it yields more cash than any other crop—including marijuana.

One Lawmaker Is Literally Smashing The Belongings Of The Homeless With A Sledgehammer
There is a war on compassion in America today. You are about to read about a Hawaii lawmaker that has used a sledgehammer to smash up at least 30 shopping carts that homeless people were using. Yes, you read that correctly. He is actually carrying a sledgehammer around so that he can destroy the belongings of homeless people. He claims that it is his intention "to do something practical that will really clean up the streets". But as crazy as that sounds, the truth is that he is not alone. As you will read about below, there are dozens of major cities all over the country where feeding the homeless has been banned. In many of these instances, public officials are very open about the fact that the goal is to make their cities "cleaner" and "safer" places to live. They simply do not want the homeless around. In fact, there are some cities such as San Diego and San Francisco where social workers are actually giving homeless people one-way bus tickets out of town. If you doubt this, just keep reading. The United States is becoming a very cold, heartless place, and homeless people are increasingly being treated like human garbage in this country. So how bad will the treatment of the homeless become when the economy gets really bad?
When I first heard about a state representative out in Hawaii that was using a sledgehammer to go after homeless people, I could hardly believe it. But it is actually true. The following is a short excerpt from an RT article that was published earlier this week...
In the past two weeks residents in Hawaii noticed what appeared to be a crazed individual carrying a sledgehammer through the streets of Honolulu, a state lawmaker looking to rid the city of homeless people by targeting their belongings.How cold and heartless can one person possibly be?
State Representative Tom Brower (D) is currently dedicated to dealing out his own personal brand of “justice” by seeking out homeless people and destroying their possessions. Brower estimates that he has used the sledgehammer to smash at least 30 shopping carts, rendering them useless by bashing in the front wheels.
“I got tired of telling people I’m trying to pass laws. I want to do something practical that will really clean up the streets,” he told Hawaii News Now. “I find abandoned junk, specifically shopping carts, and I remove them.”

Water-Powered Cars & Inventors Killed fas
by David Richards (henrymakow.com)
Water-powered cars have existed for years.
Oil, with its attendant evils - pollution, oil wars, oil spills - are unnecessary.
Water-powered cars have been given scant media coverage. In some cases, the inventors were intimidated into ceasing their work or assassinated.
The Illuminati quash free energy technology because it would transform society and breakdown the economic order. If you control the energy, you control the people.
Stanley Meyer, who invented a water fuel device, encapsulated the agenda: 'The internationalists want zero industrial growth, zero population growth... There is a move to force countries to sign over their natural resource rights, and if you sign over your natural resource rights, they have taken over the countries without even firing a shot. The number one thing that will diffuse the entire episode is to bring in an alternate energy source.'
Most of the cars use water as a source of hydrogen, which is a very efficient fuel.
Here is a list of men and companies who have invented water powered cars.
Herman Anderson (1918-2004) - Herman had an illustrious career as a scientist at NASA testing hydrogen powered rockets. He used this knowledge to create a water-powered vehicle which he believed would transform the world.
Herman created a water powered Chevy Cavalier (left). See Video
He was allowed to drive it, but was banned from selling or manufacturing the vehicle in his home State of Tennessee. The official reason was that the car gave off too much radiation. However, hybrid cars (that use both electricity and oil) produce a similar level of radiation and are legal. Go figure.

Quote: I am a “living man and have the right to forage for food.”
The back and forth between Mr. Tertelgte and the judge shows how the “law” sometimes goes against everything natural and right and how this one man, fights back, speaks up and is one of the best raw video court footage interactions I have ever seen.

Sad Horror, Not Just In USA! Canadian Food Inspection Agency Destroys Shepard’s Life and Sheep
Why did they kill them? The details are here…
Along with other heritage breed livestock, I raise Heritage Shropshire sheep, a breed that is on the Rare Breeds Canada Endangered livestock list. The British genetics in my Wholearth flock had pedigrees dating back to the early 1900′s when the first British stock was imported here. Despite protests from the British Rare Breeds Survival Trust, the CFIA wiped out the sheep and all my years of dedicated genetic work. The CFIA have paid ZERO compensation to me for destroying my healthy animals nor offered to replace them from English breeding stock. There are now less than 80 registered ewes in Canada.

The Pretty Lie Responds To The Question - Who is This Woman and Why is She Harassing Charlevoix County Officials?
Who is This Woman and Why is She Harassing Charlevoix County Officials?
There is a new face around Charlevoix county government. Her name is Wendy Beal.
Beal appeared at the Charlevoix County Commission meeting earlier this week to complain about Charlevoix County officials. She herself lives in Antrim County.
What is her interest in Charlevoix County, you may ask? Well, she is a member of an anti-government group which also boasts Greg Karam, another Antrim County resident and friend/supporter/contributor to former Charlevoix County prosecuting attorney John Jarema, as a member. From all appearances – Jarema, Karam and Beal have joined forces to harass Charlevoix County officials and those who dare to run for office.
Beal has posted items on the internet, claiming that a number of present and former county officials have “a history of domestic violence in their families.” Of course, none of the people she names have ever been convicted or even charged with domestic violence. Two of them were allegedly victims of domestic violence. It seems odd that Jarema cronies, who should be well aware of the Crime Victims Rights Act would be so nonchalant about violating it as well as the Michigan Constitution.
Link To The Charlevoix Truthteller (?) : http://chxtruthteller.wordpress.com/
As I stated in an earlier post, our comment section has been spammed by the blog The Charlevoix Truthteller. I did not want to give them free advertising and their blog appeared to be an attempt to smear John Jarema.
Now they are going after me and my children in an attempt to humiliate us. I got used to the taunts years ago when the other kids weren't allowed to play with me because my father went to prison for raping me since infancy.
They have not posted any documentation and they hide behind anonymity, claiming that they can't reveal their identity because we will try to destroy their lives and careers. I don't understand how us posting news articles and speaking our minds at an open public meeting is harassment.
Roger Conaway, Bob Taylor and I all spoke at the commissioners meeting about what we believe to be the truth about several elected officials.
If anyone feels harassed that wasn't my intention. I had no idea that Telgenhof was even going to be there, but we still spoke truth to power with him and his goon squad in the room.
The creators of the Truthteller are convinced that this is all about him.
As I have said numerous times before, as I look into allegations against Jarema, I seem to keep finding information about his accusers that casts them in a negative light.
We try to deal in facts and have several news articles, court documents and other reliable sources to verify what we are asserting about the Good Old Boys up here in Northern Michigan.
The truth is our defense.
The Pretty Lie asks those behind the "Truthteller" to reveal their identity (as I have) and provide us with proof (as we have) of our anti- government group involvement as they allege.
This is an outright lie.
Does this group have a name? If they have evidence that anyone involved with this blog is involved in anti-government activity, where is the proof?
I personally belong to the following groups - Lawless America, Parents For Children and Michigan For Parental Rights.
These are not anti-government groups, they are anti-corruption groups. These allegations are very serious and I am requesting that the false allegations be removed from their blog immediately.
As for the low blow regarding my family's history of dysfunction, I already anticipated this behavior years ago and have the truth posted in Antrim County Confidential and A Story Of Eviction on this blog.
Mrs. Telgie threatened me in a sense at the courthouse when she asked me how I would like having my past put in the newspaper. I told her to go right ahead and she apparently did.(My opinion only)
It is disturbing that they have to re-victimize victims to deflect from their own lack of character and integrity.
As for the Sandy Hook article posted on TPL, I just posted some links. That doesn't mean that I believe every word in every article that I link to but sometimes there are links in the body of the article to legitimate news sources.
The Truthteller's smear campaign against private citizens is harassment.
To be continued........

Well, she is a member of an anti-government group which also boasts Greg Karam, another Antrim County resident and friend/supporter/contributor to former Charlevoix County prosecuting attorney John Jarema, as a member. From all appearances – Jarema, Karam and Beal have joined forces to harass Charlevoix County officials and those who dare to run for office.
Beal has posted items on the internet, claiming that a number of present and former county officials have “a history of domestic violence in their families.” Of course, none of the people she names have ever been convicted or even charged with domestic violence. Two of them were allegedly victims of domestic violence. It seems odd that Jarema cronies, who should be well aware of the Crime Victims Rights Act would be so nonchalant about violating it as well as the Michigan Constitution.
Link To The Charlevoix Truthteller (?) : http://chxtruthteller.wordpress.com/
As I stated in an earlier post, our comment section has been spammed by the blog The Charlevoix Truthteller. I did not want to give them free advertising and their blog appeared to be an attempt to smear John Jarema.
Now they are going after me and my children in an attempt to humiliate us. I got used to the taunts years ago when the other kids weren't allowed to play with me because my father went to prison for raping me since infancy.
They have not posted any documentation and they hide behind anonymity, claiming that they can't reveal their identity because we will try to destroy their lives and careers. I don't understand how us posting news articles and speaking our minds at an open public meeting is harassment.
Roger Conaway, Bob Taylor and I all spoke at the commissioners meeting about what we believe to be the truth about several elected officials.
If anyone feels harassed that wasn't my intention. I had no idea that Telgenhof was even going to be there, but we still spoke truth to power with him and his goon squad in the room.
The creators of the Truthteller are convinced that this is all about him.
As I have said numerous times before, as I look into allegations against Jarema, I seem to keep finding information about his accusers that casts them in a negative light.
We try to deal in facts and have several news articles, court documents and other reliable sources to verify what we are asserting about the Good Old Boys up here in Northern Michigan.
The truth is our defense.
The Pretty Lie asks those behind the "Truthteller" to reveal their identity (as I have) and provide us with proof (as we have) of our anti- government group involvement as they allege.
This is an outright lie.
Does this group have a name? If they have evidence that anyone involved with this blog is involved in anti-government activity, where is the proof?
I personally belong to the following groups - Lawless America, Parents For Children and Michigan For Parental Rights.
These are not anti-government groups, they are anti-corruption groups. These allegations are very serious and I am requesting that the false allegations be removed from their blog immediately.
As for the low blow regarding my family's history of dysfunction, I already anticipated this behavior years ago and have the truth posted in Antrim County Confidential and A Story Of Eviction on this blog.
Mrs. Telgie threatened me in a sense at the courthouse when she asked me how I would like having my past put in the newspaper. I told her to go right ahead and she apparently did.(My opinion only)
It is disturbing that they have to re-victimize victims to deflect from their own lack of character and integrity.
As for the Sandy Hook article posted on TPL, I just posted some links. That doesn't mean that I believe every word in every article that I link to but sometimes there are links in the body of the article to legitimate news sources.
The Truthteller's smear campaign against private citizens is harassment.
To be continued........

THE UGLY TRUTH - CHARLEVOIX COUNTY PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE
>
The comment section on this blog has been getting spammed by another local blogger, so we thought this would be a good point in this project to explain why we are doing this and why we have now been forced to moderate all comments before they are posted, especially when they are posted anonymously.
The posts are mean spirited, immature and have no documentation to support the allegations being made against former Charlevoix County Prosecuting Attorney John Jarema. And for the hundredth time, Jarema has NOTHING to do with this. I have never met him and I only know what he looks like from news articles that I have only recently looked at after getting complaints from readers about the bias on this site.
I don't know where some of the information that I posted originated from. I do know that I have a source who has contacts in amazing places and the story was correct so I posted it. We have a confidentiality policy based on trust and we keep things on a need to know basis. Trust and integrity mean everything to those who are contributing behind the scenes at TPL. I have only put my face and story out there because I filmed for the documentary Lawless America.
My reasons are purely personal, as I hope that I can explain myself once and for all by the time I finish this post.
Someone else went on a racist rant in the comment section that was full of perverted filth against the Jews and I didn't see it for a few days. We are neither racist or haters here or do we approve of this behavior. We are all brothers and sisters and you are either good or evil and that is how we judge others that we encounter. Actions speak louder than words. We apologize if anyone was offended. We try to keep this site clean.
To answer the question about why we haven't posted anything about Jarema, it is simple. This case is pending and we are waiting for the conclusion and we will print the results when this is concluded. We are looking into this matter and have been following this fiasco called the Charlevoix County Prosecuting Attorney race since it came to light in the newspapers.
Interestingly, as I look into Jarema and his integrity I keep finding more evidence and information regarding the questionable and seemingly shady behavior of those pointing a finger at Mr. Jarema.
Here is what I have ascertained from my viewing of the news articles, etc. Jarema was assistant prosecutor under Marybeth Kur and was fired by her. He sued and won a judgment against the county and received a cash award. Why is Jarema accused of costing the county money when he successfully sued Charlevoix County and won a cash judgment, then when someone in the popular crowd sues Charlevoix County (Fanara) and the attorneys are racking up the billable hours like crazy and Jarema gets the blame for that too. So I have concluded that everything is Jarema's fault.
If he sues he's wrong and if he gets sued he's wrong. The usual double standard from those who are themselves above the law for some reason.
Here is a selection of links and info that are in no particular order. Hopefully they will show the truth about those intent on ruining Jarema.
From what I understand, there is a position soon to be available in the judge's seat and some of Jarema's accusers are also interested in becoming judge.
We have been looking into this matter and we see no indication that John Jarema wants to be judge other than from his enemies at the courthouse. Hopefully the voters will read the below information and make the correct choice on election day.
Charlevoix County and its prosecuting attorney: Sued on six counts
http://articles.petoskeynews. com/2012-10-04/jarema-spread- false-rumors_34264903
Some highlights from the article.
The counts include sexual harassment, defamation, retaliation, deprivation of free speech, deprivation of liberty and intentional interference with contractual relations.
A long history of discord in the prosecutor's office has led up to this legal climax. At Charlevoix County Board of Commissioners meetings in April and May, Fanara pleaded with commissioners to step in and stop Jarema from continuing behavior she alleged was "bullying."
Fanara has accused Jarema of lying to county commissioners and a judge, refusing to pay her for work she did, launching a false investigation into her on-the-clock county hours, restricting her job duties, failing to register her for a student loan payback program, falsely accusing her of obtaining warrants without probable cause and perhaps the most egregious allegation -- that Jarema spread false rumors about her having sex with a defense attorney in exchange for better plea bargains.
After filing the grievance, Fanara was placed on medical leave by doctors after she experienced stress-related tension headaches she previously said are attributed to Jarema's poor treatment of her.
She was out of the office for 12 weeks on medical leave and came back to the office in July. She claims the bullying continued upon her return, so she used up her vacation time until the August primary election, after which she returned to work.
According to the lawsuit filed against Jarema and the county, after Fanara spoke out to commissioners and the public about the alleged harassment by Jarema, she was retaliated against through further harassment by Jarema, her job duties were scaled back and she was told her employment would not be continued, and would be terminated, in 2013.
Prosecutor-elect, Allen Telgenhof, will likely take over the prosecutor's office in January, and along with it control of staffing in the office.
"I don't think it's appropriate to comment," on whether Fanara will be terminated, said Telgenhof.
The rumors Jarema allegedly spread about Fanara having sex with defense attorneys are the top bullet point in Fanara's lawsuit explaining why she believes she has been sexually harassed. It is followed by claims that Jarema and the county threatened to file unfounded complaints against her with the attorney grievance commission, falsely accused her of submitting false time sheets and authorizing warrants without probable cause, refused to register her for a federal student loan payback program, reduced her pay, denied her access to the office and restricted her job duties.
The comments also qualify as defamation, claims the lawsuit, because they resulted in damage to Fanara's reputation in the community, her ability to find work, emotional distress, humiliation, sleeplessness, migraine headaches, tension headaches and anxiety.
Fanara is claiming she has been deprived of her freedom of speech by the county and Jarema because, after she spoke out to the public about Jarema's alleged harassment, the county retaliated against and terminated her because of, or on the basis of, "Her exercise of her constitutionally protected speech on a matter of public concern."
Jarema denies six allegations including sexual discrimination, defamation – petoskeynews.com
Highlights
The outgoing Charlevoix County prosecutor denied all six counts brought against him and against Charlevoix County by his former chief assistant prosecutor, including sexual harassment, defamation, retaliation, deprivation of free speech, deprivation of liberty and intentional interference with contractual relations. Jarema was defeated in the August primary election by incoming prosecuting attorney Alan Telgenhof who will take over the county prosecutor’s office Jan. 1.
Jarema claims he is covered by governmental immunity, the damage to her reputation is Fanara’s own fault, her own actions were the reason she was fired, her headaches existed before any alleged harassment and, Jarema adds, “the truth as to any matter asserted is a defense” in regards to the statements he made about Fanara’s alleged sexual relations with a defense attorney.
Jarema also claims that Fanara “failed to mitigate damages” during her employment, her financial distress or loss of earnings are not the fault of her employer and that her gender “was never a factor in any employment action.”
After Jarema launched an investigation against Fanara through the state Attorney General’s office claiming she had charged a defendant without probable cause, officials found the assistant prosecutor did nothing wrong.
TPL says: Just because you don't get in trouble, it doesn't mean you didn't do something wrong.

In conclusion, it sure does seem to us that Telgenhof and his supporters are hypocrites and are self serving in their ambitions. Anyone with their critical thinking skills still intact can see than something is very wrong up here in Northern Michigan.

Prosecutor Mary Beth Kur - Charlevoix -
While searching for information regarding the some of the players in The Good Old Boys Club here in Northern Michigan, I found this little tidbit of information that may explain why Kur supported Allen Telgenhof in his bid to become the next Charlevoix County Prosecuting Attorney, in spite of the police coming to his home on two occasions to investigate alleged domestic violence between the Telgenhof's. Read this shameful account for yourself at the link below.
It also may explain the discourse between Jarema and Kur and why they were so adamant about getting Jarema out of office, not matter the consequences to the citizens of Charlevoix County.

Kur /Jarema Election
Kur heavily outpaced Jarema in campaign fund-raising. She declined to speculate on the reason for her ouster.
"I just decided at the beginning this that I was going to take the high road, run a positive campaign," she said. "That's what we did and I'm happy with that, although I'm not happy with the result."
East Jordan voter Allison MacKay seemed as enthusiastic about voting against Kur as she did for Jarema.
"I'm going to vote her out," MacKay said, as she headed toward the polls.
MacKay said Jarema "seems more honest, straightforward." She said of Kur, "there's too much politics there."

THE NORTHERN EXPRESS - THE UNTOUCHABLES
TOUGH ROAD
Jarema almost didn’t get to this position of power. His problems with former prosecutor Mary Beth Kur are legendary. He signed on as her assistant prosecutor in 1995 and became her chief assistant prosecutor in 1999. But over time, he questioned her work ethic. He felt that many of those in her office weren’t working full days and began recording the offending employees’ actual hours. She confiscated his notes just before firing him in February of 2002. She defended the move, saying that his attacks on her were destroying the morale of the office,
He filed a whistleblower’s lawsuit against the county, which resulted in a judgment before the case went to trial. The county agreed to a stipulated judgment against itself and a $50,000 payment to Jarema. Kur said she didn’t support the decision to settle, which she said was pushed by the county’s insurance company.
Vindicated, Jarema decided to run against Kur for the position of prosecutor in 2004. He narrowly won the primary in August, and had no real contest against a Green party candidate in the November election.
Kur, knowing that Jarema would replace her, left him a good-bye gift. Her budget for the next year proposed a $63,000 salary, about $20,000 less than what she was earning. She also proposed big reductions for his support staff: $40,000 for the position of chief assistant prosecutor, down from $56,100, and $32,000 for the assistant prosecutors’ salaries, an $8,000 cut.
Five of the six commissioners, who openly endorsed and campaigned for Kur, approved the $63,000 salary. Fortunately, Jarema and his supporters persuaded the commissioners to raise his salary to $74,000.
“Sour grapes would describe the situation and I am still digging out of the hole. It was a mess,” he said, referring to other problems with a notebook computer and missing legal books. “On a side note, three of the six commissioners were just defeated so I will have a new board to work with. It should be better.”

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE FUNDING
Since its inception, the Domestic Violence Homicide Prevention Unit has prosecuted more than 3,615 cases, resulting in more than 3,220 convictions.
The unit consists of the following Special Assistant Attorney Generals (SAAG's):
- SAAG Kerry Zahnder, serving Charlevoix, Cheboygan, and Emmet counties.
- SAAG Erin House, serving Leelanau, Grand Traverse and Antrim counties.
- SAAG James Deamud, serving Otsego, Roscommon, and Ogemaw counties.
"I would also like to thank the following Prosecuting Attorneys for joining with my office in order to fight domestic violence: Charles Koop, Antrim County; John Jarema, Charlevoix County; Mickey Castagne, Cheboygan County; James Linderman, Emmett County; Al Schneider, Grand Traverse County; Joseph Hubbell, Leelanau County; LaDonna Schultz, Ogemaw County; Kyle Legel, Otsego County; and Mark Jernigan, Roscommon County," continued Cox.

JUDGE THOMAS POWER/MARYBETH KUR COZY RELATIONSHIP?
BELLAIRE - A judge dismissed whistleblower lawsuits against Charlevoix County and Prosecutor Mary Beth Kur filed by two employees in Kur's office.
Victims assistance coordinator Sandra Ward and office manager Jacqueline Rozema alleged in their lawsuits that they were subject to retaliation and a hostile work environment after giving depositions in another whistleblower lawsuit filed by Kur's former chief deputy prosecutor, John Jarema, in 2003.
Thirteenth Circuit Judge Thomas Power ruled Monday that Ward and Rozema's whistleblower suits missed a key element - they hadn't been fired or hadn't resigned from their jobs because of adverse work conditions. Both remain employees of the prosecutor's office on medical leave.

Kur said she was pleased with the lawsuit dismissals.
"I have believed from the start that these lawsuits had no merit," she said. "Now it's time to move forward. I've got a job to do. I've been doing it, and I will continue to keep on doing it."
Ward and Rozema declined to comment Monday. Parsons said he would appeal the judge's ruling, indicating he believes Power erred in requiring a firing or resignation.
"The judge has issued new law in the Whistleblower Protection Act," he said. "Kur got off on a technicality."

Father-of-two, 25, sentenced to life for stealing a POWER TOOL: Thousands of inmates are being kept behind bars due to 'over-sentencing'
The family of a young father have revealed their heartache as he serves a life sentence - for stealing a power tool.
Patrick W. Matthews was jailed in 2009 at the age of 22, for stealing a $750 welding machine, some tools and a generator, according to court documents. Matthews, who has a history of drug abuse, was sentenced to life in a Louisiana prison for his crimes.
His case has come to light after a report was released this week by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) which shows the shocking number of non-violent offenders who are facing the rest of their lives in jail for relatively small-time offenses.
Matthews, who had been using meth and heroin since he was a teenager, was sentenced under Louisiana's Habitual Offender law.
The harsh sentence came because the young man had prior convictions - one for stealing from a pawn shop and another from a fruit stand while he was a teenager and high on meth.
Matthews had never spent a day in jail before he was sentenced to a life term

Three children rescued from 'swingers club' where they were sexually abused are removed from their new foster parents after being subjected to more ill-treatment
Four children who were rescued from a Texas 'swingers club' have been removed from their new foster parents after saying they were being abused there as well.
A 13-year-old girl, a 14-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy who are siblings, plus a 17-year-old boy have been placed in the temporary custody of child protective services by a Wood County, Texas judge.
The siblings had been living with John and Margaret Cantrell since 2005 and the 17-year-old boy had been adopted by the couple.
Fox News reported that Mrs Cantrell was the person who first alerted authorities to the plight of the children at a Mineola 'swingers club' in 2004.

Like Rats at a GMO d-Con Trap

Farm Wars
As I looked around in the local supermarket at the isles of people grabbing boxes of processed food off the shelves without even a thought about what it is they really are eating, I couldn’t help but think….. what would be the easiest, most cost effective way to reduce the population to an “acceptable” level while all the time masquerading as benefactors? And just what would the mechanism be to achieve this?
The answer is simple. That’s right; get us to do the dirty job ourselves. Like rats drawn to a packet of d-Con poison because it is manufactured to smell and taste like real food, the people who consume GMOs (genetically modified/engineered organisms) think that what they are eating and bringing home to the nest is good, pure food. Instead, they are bringing home poison and killing themselves, their families, and the planet, courtesy of your favorite eugenicists at the USDA, aka Monsanto et al. who, according to industry PR spin are the good guys whose only motivation for this GMO takeover is to “feed a hungry planet.” This couldn’t be further from the truth. The truth is, the motivation behind this takeover is anything but benevolent.

Gummy Bears, Pharmaceutical Drugs And Vaccines Made Out Of People
Gummy Bears, Pharmaceutical Drugs And Vaccines Made Out Of People http://www.pakalertpress.com/2013/11/09/gummy-bears-pharmaceutical-drugs-and-vaccines-made-out-of-people/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+pakalert+%28Pak+Alert+Press%29&utm_content=FeedBurner
By Michael Snyder, Pak Alert Press,
That is a really crazy headline, right? Unfortunately, it is not a joke. Right now, gelatin made with human DNA fragments is already being used in pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines, and scientists believe that recent breakthroughs will soon make it economically feasible to use such gelatin in consumer products such as gummy bears and marshmallows on a massive scale.
So are you ready for gummy bears made out of people?
They are coming. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. As you will read about below, scientists have also combined human DNA with mice, rabbits, goats, pigs, sheep and cows. We have arrived at a time in human history when advances in technology have opened the door to a lot of things that were once considered to be impossible, and scientists are having a field day. But in the end, where will all of this technology end up taking us?
Most people would never even imagine that the gummy bears that they are eating could potentially contain human DNA.

The story of a letter embedded in a package of Kmart Halloween decorations received by Oregonian Julie Keith immediately went ultra-viral as it detailed an excruciating cry for help from a prisoner of a Chinese forced labor camp. The letter brought to the forefront a part of the American economy that most of us would like to ignore, or simply hope is being dealt with appropriately behind the scenes: the fact that the low prices that are such a boon to the American consumer-driven economy have a terrible hidden price attached.

Admiral accuses Obama of being a Benghazi co-conspirator
Why was the Us military ordered to stand down for hours as Jihadists attacked the US embassy? Why was security gutted right before the attack?
A retired four star admiral believes that Obama wanted Jihadists to kidnap the ambassador. That way Obama could negotiate his release and then be praised as a hero by the media.
The Obama administration admits to arming the brutal murderous Sinaloa drug cartel in Mexico. Hundreds of innocent people, including two American cops, have been killed with weapons provided by the Obama administration. What else is Obama capable of?
