The Piercing Truth

This is right from the dictionary and seems to describe Albuquerque, Berry and Schultz. Fascism (f ash ,izem) noun An authoritarian right wing system of government and/or social organization. (in general use) extreme right wing, authoritarian, chauvinistic and/or intolerant views or practices. Fascism tends to include a belief in the supremacy of one group over another, national, ethnic, especially social strata or monetarily; a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader, and a strong demagogic approach. Compliments of one of our Eyes

Feb 24, 2011

Was Darren White linked to Felony Cover Up?

One of our Eyes sent us this information. According to the information posted, Prom King Darren I was a bad boy!

The two stories centered on the use of NCIC (National Crime Information Computer ‘data base’). It is alleged that White allowed “APS senior administrators play with it in their effort to harass and intimidate whistle blowers and do background checks on their girlfriends.” One article claims, “The Attorney General's Office found that Darren White, personally, had broken the law, the NMIPRA, in his effort to suppress the truth.”

Then Sheriff, Darren White, supervised the NCIC data base, which is governed by the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigations). This supervision is huge and a responsibility that should never be taken lightly. According to the information in the two stories, White did not do his job supervising and protecting this law enforcement data base.

One story claims, “The local District Attorney, Kari Brandenburg has been charged with determining whether or not the evidence supports the filing of criminal charges.”

The Eye does not know if all this is true but this is public information. What we do know is this cause’s great concern for all, based on the appearance of impropriety. If this is true, why hasn’t the FBI investigated these claims? Kari Brandenburg has had this case for over four years. Why hasn’t Ms. Brandenburg done anything with this case? If this was a Fourth Degree Felony, the Statute of Limitation runs out in five years. Is this a waiting game? Could this all have been smoke and mirrors? Was this a result of political bashing of White?

The Eye invites and encourages any politician to write in to the Eye and provide their view.

You will have to decide what you believe. Well Mayor Berry? The public assumes that you did a thorough background check on White before you hired him. Is there any truth to these stories?

Don't know if the NCIC story is true, but I can confirm that another posters stories are true about the shooting that never went to grand jury, the evidence law suit and the block on the vote of no confidence vote. Only it was not so much as the brass showing up to block it, it was more of what we commonly call stacking the room. On that day, the White supporters showed up in force. That would be the people that White gave sweet deals to and allowed them to do what they wanted.

One example is a Captain and her crony Sgt. in narcotics that cost the county big time in additional law suits. Both from the general public and other deupties. This Sgt. on the orders of the Capt. went to a deputies house to get his county assigned unit. The deputy had to leave town for a family emergency. (his brother was having brain surgery for cancer) The Capt. having it out for him, said he was AWOL. The only problem is that county assigned unit was parked in his garage. The Sgt. and two of his corrupt narcotics buddies then broke into his house. They did not make it all the way in, because the were stopped by a family member of the deputy. When the complaint was filed, it was swept under the rug by Darren. He supported the actions of the Capt and the Sgt. I guess the county agreed with Darren so much that they settled the suit with a hefty check (amount unknown) and he was promoted because another issue was the same Sgt. made it a point to write the deputy up and personally delivered the write up to his file the day before file review for his promotion closed. When Darren was interviewed he denied having any knowledge of it. Even after he was shown the written memos and documentation that he signed.

The deputy who tried to spear head that no confidence vote? He also was targeted by the same Capt. and Sgt. Can you guess what happened there he also got a check (amount unknown) and his position back. Te Capt? She was asked to leave by Darren but it did not hurt her because she had her top 3 and was able to retire. The Sgt.? He left early after buying time when Sheriff Gonzales painted a picture on the wall for him that he was going back to the field.

How much more does anyone need to determine that this guy does not possess the qualities to hold his current position, far less an elected office?
Is this a question for Mayor Berry to start asking, or is it a question for the FBI or the Justice Department?
Are indictments eminent?

I guess there's more to come.
This just seems to be the beginning of a long list of things we don't even know about yet.
Good question 'EYE', the Guv vetted him and found the bad 'MoJo'.
Too bad our 'sharp as a tack' mayor didn't do likewise.

This is disgusting! I for one, have had enough of this! I say protest! I want answers from the Mayor and Brandenburg and I want them now! Darren White may not be an elected official, but Mayor Berry and DA Brandenburg are. Mayor Berry is responsible for Darren...or at least on paper he is. He no doubt knows about all of this and is letting this A**hole run the police department?!? Mayor Berry is just as guilty in my mind for turning a blind eye to ALL of this crap. THEY ALL NEED TO GO! IMPEACH BERRY, FIRE DARREN AND GET BRANDENBERG OUT OF THERE! This is OUR government and we CHOOSE who represents us. We put them in there and we can sure as hell make them leave. Get your picket signs ready folks because a date is going to be set!

Brandenburg has been there way too damn long. Darren White is an old shoe and rapidly becoming a 'has been' quick. As for Berry, well that whole election was a mistake. He should have never won and was surprised as much as anyone that he did. Total moron, not intelligent and quite frankly is looked upon by his peers in the construction industry as a 'bafoon.'
He was taken in by slicksters like Darren and David "I gotta get the hell out of here" Campbell.
Worst combination in the world is an idiot in charge of criminals.

So is this connection to the FBI why Darren's 302 forms in Brads case was so doctored up??? gee babe did you really think no one was gonna see what you said?? wasnt one of Brads original charges lying to the FBI??? Fortunately for you the Agents only record....oops only admit they record conversations that may benefit them...maybe as this long persecution of you continues you will get it that the lies you tell ruin peoples lives and when you get away with it simply because of your title you destroy MANY lives. Your days of curruption and intimidation are coming to an end. Without your titles you couldnt intimidate a 3 day old kitten..
I think it was pretty impressive how you played the Agents at starbucks and reversed everything you had done and placed the blame on others, you have made a career of doing this seems people are figuring you out buddy.
The more time goes by the more things keep coming out of Brads trial, gosh Darren the worse its getting for you. When you decided to go into Brads trial and mis state the facts, well that was the wrong decision, but it wasnt what you mistated was it Darren?? the really Fd up part is what you left out.
As we have found it in the last few weeks your pals at the FBI do watch the EYE, yes they called my wife four days after her letter on the text messages, and ALL OF A SUDDEN have an interest in them, TEN MONTHS LATER...hmmm funny one of those darn 302's was made again..but the call to and from FBI headquarters to my wife questioning her was not recorded according to the 302??? or was it??? time will tell...
Anyway Darren just so you know we are in this for the long haul, not that you left us any choice, you could just come clean but we all know thats not gonna happen so we all will continue this until you tell the truth or until all the pieces of the puzzle are found.
BTW a 302 is what the FBI writes as to there version of events and interviews since they dont record things...??...or do they ??

Everyone makes mistakes in life and work, sometimes big ones. Decent human beings fess up, apologize, accept the consequences and don't make the same one again. It is the PATTERNS we see in all of this mess that are really telling, the same dirty deeds, the same MO. It's as clear as day that Darren does for himself 1st and himself 2nd and 3rd, and you can only screw so many and so hard before it all comes crashing down. There are other patterns too we need to pay close attention to - a very frightening one to me is AUSA Tera Neda's pattern of hiding evidence that would benefit and even exonerate the defendant. Read those two Ahrensfield motions again. Can you say 'malicious prosecution'? And if so, it's not hard to see how Schultz, Callaway, Brandenburg would necessarily figure in. More to come on that one, you can be sure. Maybe Brad ended up in this because he has the fighting stamina to take it where it needs to go. Really dirty business in this city on the 5th and 11th floor... And White of course right in the middle of it, showing with his sworn testimony his true colors. Thank God the truth has its own momentum and it is beginning to roll... Keeping telling it!!

Someone needs to contact the Sergeant and Deputy involved in the speed van citation. Their story is very interesting. Both were forced to turn over their belt tapes and video on the incident the day of the incident. A Few days before the trial of the speed van, the video and belt tapes were missing. The County Attorney said that Undersheriff Bargiola had them and Bargiola insisted that the County Attorney had them. The Sergeant went to the 5th floor to see Bargiola and got the same response. The Sergeant told Sal that he would subpoena everyone who had possession of the tapes if they didn't turn up. An hour later, the Deputy got a phone call from the County Attorney telling him that Sal had just dropped off the tapes. The Deputy just happened to be sitting in the parking lot and saw Sal leaving. At the same time, the Sergeant got a phone call from Sal telling him that the County Attorney had them all along and had just found them.

Peas in a pod?

Push will come to shove, and when that happens, bigger fish above will roll on Darren to save their own asses, you wait and see. The longer this stuff keeps getting exposed the more likely the reign of Darren will come to a halt.
Don't think you will just walk away from this Darren. You may have to pay a penalty, and it won't just merely be monetary. Surely not the taxpayers anymore. We're not gonna pay for your political blunder embarrassments any longer.
FOR GOD'S SAKE, WILL SOMEONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS GUY. IS THE FBI ON THE UP AND UP OR ARE THEY GOING TO LET THE PUBLIC DOWN?
I UNDERSTAND THE DOJ IS NOW STARTING TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THESE NEW REVELATIONS.

The APD spin engine is working at full strength. On the same day that the Metro Section of the Journal headline is "City Agrees to pay $230K in Settlement" (no mention in the headline about it being the suspicious death of an APD officers wife and subsiquent destruction of the crime scene by APD officers and supervisors),the Journal posts a front page article "APD officer out after Alcohol Test".

Ray and his spin cycle would have the citizens of Albuquerque believe he is doing such a great job, getting an officer to resign after she failed her random drug test. Since when is this really news? Does Ray plan on doing a press release on every officers personnel file? This is a personnel issue and should not have been front page news. If Ray really cares about his officers he would have verified she resigned and kept the rest confidential. But nOOOOOOOOOO good old Ray is taking a lot of heat for all sorts of bad things he owns at APD (costales, evidence room, Tera Chavez, no confidence etc). So how does he deflect it? He releases personal information regarding an officer who quit. This should be a warning to ALL APD officers, this chief of police will toss you under the bus to deflect bad press from himself.

I hope Cheyenne Fachan sues Schultz for doing this.

And to the Journal, don't you see Ray and the city are playing you for fools? Would the Journal release, and make it front page news, if one of their reporters resigns? Would the Journal put the reporters name of the front page and say they failed a drug test and they then resigned? Or, since there was no other issues, would the Journal repect their own employees privacy and allow them to resign, without embarrassing them publicly? And why wasn't the $230K on the Front Page?

I think we all know the answer to this. So to all APD officers, don't think for a minute that Ray will keep personnel matters private. He will dump you under the bus, if he finds it will help him out of the horrible mess he finds himself in.

I think we need to fire this Chief and find someone who knows how to lead by example.

I hope and pray Tera's family gets justice! I guess when your leaders are corrupt what can you expect from some of the officers. Not all, but some!

12:08 post. There's too much truth in what you say for the Journal to print it because they CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH. The truth is we have an ethically challenged corrupt politician for a CPSO and a game playing double dipper for a chief.

The Jounal doesn't care or give a 'tinkers' damn what this Chief or Darren or "Eore" Berry does. They just sell newspapers. Eventually like every other paper in the country that acts like this will dissolve, as people one by one are canceling their subscriptions. They are just churning garbage for the ones in power with their shit SPIN machine.
What a hick town this is, filled with 'Hillbillies', crooks and dumb asses running it.
Mayberry for sure with out the honesty. MAY -be- BERRY is a mayor.
What a joke; to be sure.
Darren will have to tell the truth sooner or later. Na, he never will.
He'd sell out his best friend to keep from going down. But then again, he already has.

Anyone who has been around knows that schultz don't like women or people of color. Berry made him hire paiz and banks otherwise it would have been two of his good ol boys. Funny we have a male cop who is going to cost the city probably close to a million and this female hasn't cost us a penny and he threatens her.

Anonymous said...

Anyone who thinks its wrong that female officer is no longer an officer must be drunk themselves.

She was drunk at WORK! she just happened to get caught on a random test imagine how many times she came to work drunk without getting caught!!! talk about liability, then who would you blame if she shot someone while drunk? or crashed into a family drunk in her police car? You would be screaming & blaming the chief im sure. He wasnt the drunk one she was.

I think the chief was generous letting her RESIGN instead of just FIRING her. Last I saw the city has a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY on fire or police being drunk on duty. YOU DRINK YOU WORK YOU GET FIRED!!!

Bravo to the chief for at least letting her resign and saving her police career with another department after treatment of course. Firing her would have made getting hired somewhere else alot more difficult.

Shame on all of you who think her being drunk on duty was just fine. Maybe your random test is coming.

Thats at least this Officers opinion.

I don't think anyone is defending her actions...they are simply questioning your chiefs.

Isn't that a personnel issue and shouldn't have been discussed on the front page of the journal. Seems to me the public was not hurt and it should have stayed in the department. Had she been driving and hurt someone different story. Ray just wanted to make himself look like he has some values when everyone knows he doesn't. He should have been fired in the Sam Costales case, but he bargained his way out of being released from the lawsuit in exchange for not appealing the verdict.

Anonymous said...

All officers, and citizens deserve to be treated fairly and with due process. The female officer had alcohol in her system at work. The department allowed her to resign. All of that is fair enough (although others have been in the same situation and they have been provided treatment instead of threatening termination).

My issue is that Schultz should never have made this a public issue. Schultz has made a great error by releasing this information. His behavior is shameful. Her privacy should have been respected. It was not and if she sues she will win and the taxpayer will pay.

Anonymous said...

Alcohol Treatment is no longer an option, Mayor Chavez changed that policy. Now its ZERO TOLERANCE. That translates to TERMINATION.

I think it was very kind of the chief of police to allow her to resign. Everytime an officer gets into trouble its a personnel matter yet there are plenty of "rats" who leak info to the press. It doesnt necessarily always come from the chief.

Look at Economidy his comments werent released by the chief to channel 4. Someone from Channel 4 must have been friends of Economidy indirectly. Economidy should look closely as to who his friends list consisted of. If Shultz even has a facebook I doubt he got the info from that site. He learned about it from channel 4 like everyone else.

Does this policy apply to AFD? They seem to have a lot of alcohol related incidents, and those firemen are still working.
