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.

So why is New Mexico and Albuquerque in the mess it and first on every bad list and last on every good list? 

If you read The Santa Fe New Mexican you can see for yourself.  Two stories on November 7 and 8 reported in the paper are well worth reading.  Of course our local media either didn't report the stories or lightly skipped over them. It seems The F.B.I. is investigating Jay McClesky and his fund raising activities for Governor Martinez back to her run for her first term.

Part of the investigation is money going to McClesky from the 2011 inauguration committee going to political consultant Jay McClesky. McClesky  also raised money for our loved Mayor Richard Berry. McClesky is very well paid. Martinez paid McClesky $21,418.00 a month from April to October or $128,512.00.  Martinez also paid McClesky wife Nicole, owner of Public Opinion Strategies , $20.000.00 for the same time period. Former Secretary Of State paid McClesky $365,530.00 from 2010 TO 2014. McClesky was paid tens of thousands of dollars by the Republican Governors Association in 2014 and Public Opinion Strategies $ 63,000.00.  F.B.I. are questioning the lease agreement issued by Martinez Administration  to The Downs Racetrack And Casino since early 2013. 

Wait a minute wasn't Darren White in charge of the casino?  Federal Grand Jury indicted James Estrada, Martinez former Campaign Manager for illegally intercepting Martinez emails. Estrada said that the emails contained McClesky involvement in State Business and possible corruption.  A March 2012 text message sent by McClesky to Andrea Goff, a fundraiser for Martinez , requesting they run donations to Martinez by William Windham, through another political committee because the competing bidder for the Down Lease complained about Windham winning the lease. Think that is enough ?

Oh no there is more. Federal Investigators have subpoenaed records from New Mexico Taxation And Revenue to see if retaliatory audits were conducted on former members of  Martinez political team when they ran afoul of Martinez.  Brent Eastwood was audited for his gross receipts taxes, after he filed a whistleblower lawsuit that named top officials of wrongdoing and was fired.  Nathanial Thompkins , attorney for Eastwood  also received an audit.  Tom Tinnin received an audit after he resigned after a dispute with Martinez over The Downs Racetrack And Casino Lease.  Andrea Goff former fundraiser for Martinez has had several audits by the State. Of course no one will answer questions to state officials and McClesky saying it's under investigation. Where have we heard that before?  A.P.D. of course! Does this tax thing sound anything like how Schultz used Internal Affairs?

This shows why we are in the state of affairs we are in. Keep your mouth shut on corruption and you're ok. Open your mouth and you become a target for political revenge. We at the EYE ask one simple question. Is there an honest politician in New Mexico ?

The M.O. Of everyone from Schultz all the way up to that fat little fucking ewok Susana is exactly the same. They use public funded agencies to extort and retaliate against their foes, be it political, administrative or personal. This is all done at the tax payer's expense.

It is good to see that the feds are finally connecting the dots. Hopefully the feds will be wiping the arrogant smiles off of the faces of all of these criminals with sweeping indictments.

Whistleblower Suit Alleges Corruption, Cronyism, and Affairs in Gov. Susana Martinez's Administration
Two former appointees of the governor's level a series of explosive allegations against a Martinez appointee and his deputy.

"I'm confident that neither Jay nor anyone else has done anything wrong," Gov. Martinez said. "And if they can't beat him, they're just going to smear him" Martinez says. This coming from the "Queen of Smear" regarding her "King of Smear". Expressing confidence that no one has done wrong is not a total and complete denial of any wrong doing you would expect coming from this self righteous Governor who was firs elected trashing Bill Richardson for "pay to play" and then trashed and smeared Gary King to get reelected Not even Richardson was known to be interviewed by the FBI! Once again, our local media falls short by not asking Martinez exactly what did the FBI question her about, if she was questioned about donations and the Dirty Downs Deal. No doubt the interview with Martinez was recorded or a statement drafted or an FBI report made which the news media should be demanding be released by Martinez or the FBI.

Notice how this supposed police chief hides until he is ordered to work hard on a political aganda. He is a liar. It defies all logic that a shortage of officers on the street does not make it more dangerous. THIS IS WHY YOU ARE TOLD TO WAIT FOR YOUR BACKUP.
No back up, or a longer time getting there is dangerous. This chief is an asshole, and the media give him a forum for his bullshit spin. They would have blamed Webster for getting killed if they could have. APD will not release the stats on how many officers are off vacation, sick, military, or other type of leave, because they do not want the truth to get out. Notice how this administration is quick to run off at the mouth about things that benefit them, but they hide the truth that proves them wrong. This administration is the most dishonest I have ever seen. How is anyone supposed to trust a lying decieving police chief mayor and CAO, who grade themselves with an A and give themselves raises while constantly lying as they take money from everyone else, degrade everyone around them, point the finger of blame at everyone else, and fire honest people?

Remember when the Chief was running things at DPS in Santa Fe? Strange that none of you cowards were calling him out then, what with all the fraud and such that took place under his watch. It wasn't until YOU were affected that he became a problem. It's pure comedy reading the crybaby tales on this rag. A case study in sociopathy this place is.

I just watched the biggest bunch of bullshit and lies in this interview.

How the hell can this guy say the shortage of officers is not making it more dangerous? Spoken like a true non-cop. And how does the fact that they are "getting there" make it safer when they are getting there later and later because there are no officers able to respond? This police chief just made no sense. This goof and the mayor are digging in on their stance that the lack of officers is their fault. It is definitely more dangerous when you are getting shot at and it takes someone 5 minutes to get there as opposed to 1 minute because there are not enough officers. This city must be really unique. It has to be the only city in the world where the less the officers the safer it is. Why aren't more people and businesses moving here. Oh, that's right... They know Berry and Eden are liars.,

Hey Rob Puppy Petter Drunk Perry.... Mad Bro?

http://www.kob.com/article/stories/S3959486.shtml?cat=500#.VkLA9Xo8KK0

Two of the dissenters were the hearing officers appointed by Rat Berry. Now Perry and the Mayor are all hacked off that the board is at the 5 members that it is fairly supposed to be at. Perry and the Mayor have stacked the board illegally, and intimidated hearing officers for years. The perea case was where this came to light when Perry illegally fired Zane Reeves because he sided against the city. The coincidence here is that the hearing officer that Dear had was Bingham. This was the same hearing officer that was appointed to one of the officers in the Blume case involving that parking garage arrest. Perry fired hearing officer Reeves to keep him from hearing that officers case. Bingham did the same thing in that case.. The hearing officers in this administration are all siding with the city out of fear of Perry retaliating but they would never say it npbecause it is illegal. This all started by framing these officers to keep the DoJ out and protecting Schultz at the same time. They knew the no bid contracts, grant fraud and misappropriations, and other crimes would be discovered, and they are still using tax dollars to obstruct investigators and the public from finding this out. Every hearing for the last five years needs to be reopened and reviewed, because most were tainted by hearing officer misconduct.

Have another bottle of Scotch Robbie, because it is all going to come out when Schultz gets indicted. You are all going to answer for the shit you pulled. No one is too big for justice, and you can't outrun the truth and a few pissed off motherfuckers. It may come slow, but it is steadily coming. Enjoy the raise because when a certain investigator rolls on you, you will need the funds when you are sued personally.

What still has not been made public was how Eden lied at this hearing, and how that lie played on the public, causing outrage against the officer to cover for the inferior Taser camera flaw they knew about. They knew the no bid contract would cause outrage with the public if they found out Schultz greased the contract for substandard equipment, so they framed Dear. It is also going to come out that a Deputy Chief came up with an idea to say the gun the suspect had was a throwdown, tossed there by dear until an investigator found evidence of her owning the weapon on her facebook page and told the DCOP he better not run with his spin on things.

No, you are right Perry. It's not over. It is not over by a long shot. You still have to deal with those two officers from the parking garage case where Schultz and everyone involved were caught lying too. That is another case that is going to trigger indictments.

It is all falling apart, and former city attorney Levy isn't here to defraud the courts anymore.

Keep up the good work Mr. Grover. They are terrified of you. They know you have their number. Now is the time to call for a multi agency task force to investigate the corruption and how they use the legal system to extort those that oppose them. They tried to do the same thing to DA Brandenberg. How much more needs to happen before the corruption is prosecuted?

Yep. i have a feeling everything connected to Schultz, the Mayor and Perry's scam to keep the Doj out is going to be revisited in a very refreshing way. Hang in there fellas. The show is about to get interesting.

From what I understand there are 704 department issued 9mm handguns. What does that mean? Well, in the recent past, all Department sworn personnel were required to carry a Department issued weapon. If only 704 are issued, then,,,,,,,There are currently 704 Officers actively working with the APD. Can someone grab a lineup from each area command and then we can get an accurate number of how many are at least in the field taking calls? Obviously minus 10% minimum, considering vacation, sick, military etc. (conservatively speaking),,,,,Its easy for the media to get this info,,,,,get it!! and put out some true numbers. Even though it will terrify you how many cops are truly out there at any given time of the day or night.......These men and women are operating at critical minimums. Its too god damn dangerous of a city to have so few cops out there. When I was a rookie we had more cops.....and that was 23+ years ago,,,,,,

Kathryn Levy gone. Schultz gone. The personnel board's remaining two positions filled as they are supposed to be, and we now see a big difference. Berry and Perry kept that board at three members that they chose to make sure they would side with the city in high profile terminations. It is no coincidence that these cases will now start to be won without the presence of corruption. This is a prime example of how corruption exists within the administration and why officers do not want to work for these liars. Eden is a liar. Nobody wants to work for a lying police chief, because what happened to Dear and other officers will happen to them. This is why there are no officers. Eden will keep lying, but the facts are the facts. Rob Perrt was so mad because there is only one way, Perry's way. If he dies not get his way, it is time to lie harrass threaten and extort, then hide in his office.

We all know that the APOA is just as tainted because they will not let Grover represent us because Mowrer had them change the bylaws. Mowrer got his panties in a bunch when Grover went after him for what they Did to Doyle and Woolever, so now if we want representation like Grover provides, we have to pay for all of it out of pocket. This is another example of the people who are supposed to be fixing this acting like spoiled brats and actively hurting people for their own gain.

Eden is full of nothing but excuses. It seems like nothing is running right at the police department. First they cant figure out how to use their video camera's, then they can plan ahead to keep their positions filled, then they pay the high ranking officers with money intended of the rank and file. Then they have trouble getting police report requested by the media. Then they have trouble getting police reports for victims and drivers involved in crashes. Now they cant get evidence to the DA and the courts.
The police department looks like a dump. The news media should go on a tour. I have never seen a police department that has illegal parking on the sidewalks and jay walking going on while doing a news interview. Only in ABQ and only at APD.
Nothing but excuses and mismanagement from the Eden and the Berry. I have a blue and white ribbon tied on my tree. The blue one has written on it. FIRE EDEN. The white one has RECALL BERRY.
NO MORE EXCUSES.

This is a note to all retired A.P.D. officers , and citizens that want to help restore The Albuquerque Police Department to the great Police Department it once was so it can once again protect the Citizens Of Albuquerque. It is time for us to act. All of us know that active duty officers can not act because if they do all of us retired officers know what will happen to them. We retired officers need to act. Enough is enough, and we should of acted a long time ago. Please contact me at 505-459-5545 if you would like to help. It is past time the truth about The Police Department is exposed. Local media you can help or you can be part of the problem, its your choice. If you media really care about Albuquerque then help.

Eden has failed the community with his bald faced lies. He lied under oath. His integrity is worthless now. If it was anyone else who lied they would be facing termination, revocation of their law enforcement certification, or charges. Eden should now face action against his law enforcement certification. Pretty soon someone is going to get fed up of the railroading going on, and the criminals facing no accountability for their lies. Eden should be removed from his position.

Insider said...

Kudos to Grover for stepping through a door that no one has had the balls to, and breaking it off in Eden's ass. Eden has the guts to say the decision of the personnel board is unacceptable, when he lied to the media and citizens about the video, then lied under oath at this hearing. Are these guys absolutely insane?!? An old saying says... To find out what your enemy fears most, just observe what they do to their enemies. This must explain the trend of bonified liars among the APD brass and top city administration calling everyone else liars. Berry is a liar and coward. Perry is a liar. Eden is a confirmed liar, who has lied his ass off since taking office, and these punks resort to calling people who have been proven truthful, liars. What kind of alternate reality are these idiots working with here?

The citizens of Albuquerque need to know that these high profile cases have reached a personal level with this administration. This administration has been overheard saying they hate Thomas Grover. They have been overheard saying that they will spend every dollar they have to in order to fight any case he is representing just because it is him. They are enraged that he is exposing this corruption. Grover has caused these criminals more problems by exposing this behavior that they would have been better off just doing the right thing from the start. People like Eden and city leaders are supposed to support the rights of people, especially due process, but they have lied, put forth fraud on the courts, tampered with hearings, purposfully kept the personnel board stacked in the Mayor's favor. It is disgusting to see high ranking city officials pout, cry victim, and fabricate allegations they are the most guilty of against people they want to use to promote themselves. Did everyone forget the emails Eden sent out telling everyone not to talk to the DOJ anymore? After he was caught he claims he was misunderstood. Why is it Eden gets to call someone a liar obpver something he and others made up and lied about, but he gets to say he was misunderstood or he was taken out if context after he gets caught?

Insider said...

The public needs to look at all dimensions here. Whether or not you like police officers or not, you, the public are being made fools of as this administration plays on your emotions to get what they want. Eden Perry and Berry have been on a warpath against the rank and file, because they know they are the easiest to use for their purposes. They have lied on every high profile case, while backing officers like Sandy and Lampiris, because making sure all shootings are justified backs their agenda. The leadership mentality of APD is like a bottle rocket. Once they make a wrong stance on something, there is no putting the brakes on it and backing off, and there is definitely no admitting they were wrong, owning it, and making it right. They point it in a direction, light the fuse, and pull out all stops to make sure it goes the way they want it too. They predetermine investigations and make sure information not beneficial to their agenda is left out, they lie, and hide evidence, then they retaliate against anyone who exposes this. This out of control personal agenda is being funded by tax payers. Their hatred and blood feud is being financed by the public, who are being publicly lied to by this administration, and the media has all of this evidence. They have enough to bury this administration, but choose not to because their information flow will be cut off.
While this administration gets you to emotionally concentrate on hating officers, they are getting away with public corruption on a scale you would not believe.

APD does not fire bad officers. They keep sexual predators. They cover for Sargents who beat their wives by retaliating against the wives for reporting it. They cover for female officers who sleep with half the department, access NCIC records, give out personal information to domestic abuse crime suspects almost getting victims killed, they cover for sargents who go back to calls and sleep with domestic violence complainants, they pay out millions in civil suits for officers who shoot people with spoons, shoot people in the back, shoot people with ash trays, shoot people with hair brushes, shoot suicidal people, then they promote these officers. This department has promoted individuals who have had affairs that resulted in families being destroyed and suicides, and that same culprit continues to lie and conduct himself in dishonorable ways as a ranking supervisor. This administration promotes someone who's career should have been over the minute he drive stunned a homeless man's ear off of his head, to a position just below deputy chief, and you will see them promote this person to deputy before he retires for the deeds he has done for certain people. This department retaliates against female officers for reporting a deputy chief for surreptitiously taking photos of her breasts and sharing those photos. This administration forges an academy instructor's signature on forms, stating they followed mandated use of force curriculum so that no one finds out they were doing something they shouldn't have then retaliates against the instructor who complains about his signature being forged. This administration frames two officers who take an armed repeat violent offender into custody without firing a shot.

You could go on and on with all of the crap these criminals hide, and all of the dirt they have done, but the fact is that everyone is being played the fool while a few people see right through their game, and are calling them on their every move. Sooner or later, those who should have been taking action against this corruption are going to be forced to do something and hold these criminals accountable when it starts to get out that they have actively allowed this and it effects their careers or better yet, they too get dragged into this mess when the other shoe drops and people start to get prosecuted.

Kent Walz is at his usual antics of colluding with city government, which is illegal, abusing his press position to extort hearing officers, and libeling city employees.

http://www.abqjournal.com/674987/opinion/personnel-board-throws-wrench-into-apd-reform.html

This pervert will not learn until he is in a prison cell for aiding in official corruption.

The disclaimer at the bottom of this trash article says it all about old Waldo Walz. His trash talk is the opinion of the newspaper as an institution. An inanimate object can not have an opinion. This article is the work of a bunch of criminals who molest children, and write in the editorial section of the Albuquerque Journal in order to get in good with city officials so they look the other way and award their family members lucrative contracts with the city. The sex parties and wife swapping at the journal is out of control. I heard this guy is actually a cuckold. With so much going on in their own back yard, you would think they would not want to draw attention to themselves by making outlandish allegations, and attempting to intimidate hearing officers from doing the right thing in future cases. Walz can act like a whoremaster, and harsss women in the workplace, but he has the balls to criticize a cop out there on the beat? I guess calling in a favor to have your kid's DUI case tossed by having the officer not show up is legal. Someone needs to swab the parking lot of the Journal for shit and cum stains.

This article is a disgrace, and one of the biggest assaults on the civil rights of society. Everyone has a right to due process, and the truth. For one person to say that one individual or group does not, makes you not only incredible, but an unfair bully who is not for anyone's rights.

The only people throwing a wrench into the DOJ reform is Gordon Eden who actively tried to intimidate employees out of talking to the DOJ about what they knew, and who continues to lie to the citizens, media and investigators, Mayor Berry who is a complete idiot and liar and who vetoed the DOJ investigation, Ray Schultz who is responsible for destroying the place, profitting from illegal greased deals, then fleeing when the heat came down, the city attorney's office, who provided advice on how to dodge the legal system, lie and get away with committing crimes, and Perry, who tells the media they will be cut off from the information flow if they write stories detrimental to the administration. He feeds the journal lies, and has them print these unedited lies for favors an influence. The editors know these are lies and they intentionally print them. Add in the entire command staff who took hush money, and continue to contrive ways to lie, cheat, and profit from the corruption, and you have all the wrenches you need. One cop and a few hearing officers are not the problem. A system of liars and criminals are.

The journal needs to be invaded by the feds too. They are the propaganda arm of the criminal enterprise. Kent Walz is going to have to wipe the shit off of his face when the other shoe drops on this corruption. Kent Walz should shove a wrench up his fucked ass, and adjust his brain with it.

Read the ABQ FREE PRESS, where you will get the truth instead of a rag of yellow journalism run by a pervert psycopath who likes to get pissed on.
