A TASTE OF PUBLIC SENTIMENT FROM A DIE HARD PROPONENT OF TRANSPARENCY.

Below is a portion of a communication we have received from a very concerned community member who has been calling out the city on it’s corruption for years. This man served his country, and has had the courage to stand his ground against people like Schultz, Perry, and many others. We see him at city council meetings calling out those he deems the problem here. He has been bullied but continues to fight for what he believes in. People are feeling let down, and we believe a chance for real change has been missed, in exchange for pretentious images and a commercialized cookie cutter form of government.

“MAYOR  KELLER

 MY RECENT NM IPRA FINDINGS-CONFIRMING THE DOUBLE STANDARD OF JUSTICE HERE

After reviewing Friday the only three evidence.com recordings, some clearly edited in APD’s case involving Christian the relative/likely stepson of Councilor Ken Sanchez who caused a vehicular accident in mid-June and fled the scene after pulling a gun on the man he crashed into, I sent the following initial comments to your fine new Clerk Ms. Duhigg and to many others
“The first, 18-0063592, was the APD detective’s telephone conversation (at Tel 206-6881) with Councilor Ken Sanchez’s wife regarding her son Christian’s driving conduct o/a June 13.  Also of evidence.com 18-0057175, the video of the elderly threatened gentleman whose white SUV was hit by the black BMW that Christian was driving, who said the boy pointed a gun at him before fleeing the scene. The van driver gave the APD aide its license number-I believe he said it was NJB 405. Also of evidence.com video 18-20057961 of the later APD stop of Christian, that contrary to his mom’s telephone statement to the detective, the officer(s) never searched the car for the gun-just searched him. White paint from the crash with the van was on the black Sanchez BMW.

“After reviewing the three evidence.com recordings yesterday which I briefly commented upon (more to follow) it is clear that much of APD’s information supported Councilor Sanchez’s seemingly attempt to influence, possibly have APD cover up his young relative’s/possibly step-son Christian’s threats with a gun of an elderly owner of a white SUV right after he sideswiped it in the family’s black BMW that he was driving o/a June 13 of this year-a clear bodily harm criminal offense. While initially denying her son even had a gun, Christian’s mother who works in BERNCO’s HR would later even ask the detective on the phone (evidence.com recording 18-0063592) whether brandishing a weapon at a motorist was even be a criminal bodily harm (aggravated assault) offense?”

This case intentionally buried by APD Chief Geier was brought to my attention by an honest City insider that prompted my July 31 NM IPRA request.  Even though the media was copied on my e-mails to Ms. Duhigg, they cowardly refused to cover the story nor was the CPOA even interested.

The judicial system here beginning with our police and DAs-contrary to the recent Journal article by Judge Daniel Ramczyk has always been for sale.  All those in the deemed “privileged class” of our government, including our bad cops and others in power (or their family members) are never to held accountable/punished here.  This was even more proof that Chief Geier should never been given the job by you when he chose to bury this mid-June incident by Ken Sanchez’ step son Christian.

While many never heard of the Christian’s criminal offense until I brought it up, many saw the KRQE report last night where APD arrested Sean Saiz for pulling a gun during a parking dispute and APD then cited  him for aggravated assault.  https://www.krqe.com/news/crime/man-pulls-gun-during-fight-over-parking-spot/1397891911 It’s too bad Sean Sais wasn’t also related to Ken Sanchez.

Those privileged in power here likely wish that blog sites like the Eye on Albuquerque, ABQReport and other truth tellers along with their readers-many of them honest cops, would go away.  But fortunately they won’t. See attached the latest ABQReport article by Jim Larson, a former POB member.

Also see the reader comments to a recent Eye posting on former cop Leah Kelly Acata who the misguided Councilors had even honored at a meeting.  See the summary below of Leah’s 9/14/2010 unjustified shooting of non-threatening Chandler Barr downtown.  As expected, a federal jury exonerated this despised-by-many APD cop. 

I continue to hope that some day you will stop being just another embarrassing NM politician seemingly committed only to maintaining the status-quo, the culture of corruption and lack of accountability that has made this city and State the disgrace of the nation.

We are also getting tired of seeing these insulting photo ops of you being dreamed up by your high-paid publicists pretending that you really care about us-doing something meaningful. The latest was with the UNM football team.  Yet your enablers in the mainstream media are more than happy to publicize these phony photo-ops of yours.

Until that time, you and others like you including AG Balderas can expect to be damned for your actions or inaction by the truth tellers who hope someday that their tough love will finally sink in.

It’s finally time to admit you made a serious mistake when picking Schultz’s prize pupil Mike Geier as permanent Chief and finally send him packing along with others like him including his NM IPRA stonewallers like Ms. Barraza-all of whom have dragged this city down into the gutter.

It appears that Steve Aguilar, your personal attorney and head of your Legal Department who was also chosen-like Geier in a rigged selection process has also shown himself to be no different than Berry’s embarrassing Jessica Hernandez and Kathryn Levy and should also be shown the door.

Finally, maybe a long talk with new US Attorney John Anderson and the DOJ folks in DC are also in order whose decision to also go AWOL in this reform challenge is also part of the problem.  Possibly they may consider hosting a meeting with us-the real concerned/involved, often threatened people of this city in order to hear the truth for a change.

Respectfully,

Silvio

P.S.
On a positive note, I was impressed with your new clerk Katy Duhigg during my Friday visit who I hope will be a catalyst for change-will bring about real transparency if you allow her to do so.”





Reading the above correspondence it is essentially clear that some people need to get their heads out of their asses and quit covering for cowards who expect political favors but want to hide in the shadows.

Citizens are getting fed up of being placated, and are fighting back with information. Information is key and knowledge is power against corruption and favoritism.

As we are dealing with remnants of the past still influencing, and continuing to ruin our city and state, the administration is considering allowing officers to wear beards. Yes folks, as the city is in meltdown over out of control crime and corruption, this administration is more worried about some commercialized image of Albuquerque One, and allowing minime clones with oldtimey hairdos beards and sleeve tattoos. What asshole suggests a change in policy for beards when all of this is going on?!? Talk about arranging deck chairs on the Titanic and priorities. No wonder why this place is crumbling.

Someone needs to get it through their tucking head that the problem here is not about something that a marketing program can help. It’s time to put your fucking pants on and get some calluses.

Fixing this city isn’t a fashion show or popularity contest. We would like to thank Mr. Dell’Angela for stepping up with tenacity.

P.S. Quit bitching about the man hurting your feelings like candy asses and start doing what you are supposed to. We are hip to the deck stacking going on and more is coming.

BACKFIRING CRITICISM AND THE SAME FROM THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MESS

The last couple weeks of the election trail here in Albuquerque has been an example of what has been going on for years, and what put this place in the situation it is in. We all know how politics can get, but New Mexico politics is probably one of the more slimy nationally. Those here would rather see failure, than to put their ego aside for the common good, and they will do anything they need to get what they want.

Last week we saw Albuquerque reporter Chris Huffman Montalban Smith Jones Chan Nikolai Ramirez do a surprise article on Keller donations over in kind donations that there is no ruling on, and which are documented. It is interesting to note how McCleskey was on the grand jury investigative hook for a long time, but no surprise visit interview was done there. A point to remember was that this reporter used to work for Berry. Those donations are legal, and unlike the criminal actions of this administration, and their political supporters, millions were not lost in lawsuits, nobody was defrauded, nobody lied about it, the record of all of it is there, no employees or citizens were railroaded to cover it up, and nobody lied when the issue came up. It is all documented. Good luck getting documents from this administration, or the millions lost to their malfeasance.

There were also many people going around citing the KOB and KRQE polls as the first numbers out on public opinion on candidates. That isn't the case either. There was also a poll in the Albuquerque Business Journal weekly. Keller won that poll, but it seems some very odd things are going on with these polls, as they are shut down early.

ABQ BIZ JOURNAL SURVEY

Recently, the KRQE poll conducted last night after the Mayoral Debate was shut down before the twenty four hour mark even hit. If you read the comments, you can see some accusations, and we have received a few complaints here. Lets hope this is not the case. There will be no change electing someone who is just a Berry 2.0, or someone who is tied to Schultz by their balls. That is a fact.

KRQE MAYORAL DEBATE POLL

We here at the Eye feel that there are some very sincere people in this election. We also feel there are some wolves in hamster clothing who are in it for financial gain, political drag, to hook up their cronies, and to fill their pockets, while feathering their nest for the future on the backs of our citizens and employees. You will see things play out very soon in reference to all of those who are in it for the wrong reasons, because the unjust can not help themselves. Keep your eyes peeled for the usual antics of finger pointing, and attacks from those with their own back yards full of garbage. Look for the crying and playing of victim too, because they are all traits of the current administration’s culture.

What is worse? Representing filth, and standing like a man, saying yes I did that, or representing someone, and denying that person to distance yourself from them, because it does not look favorable for your campaign? It really does not matter, because we bet the representation of Ray Schultz was never officially ended, meaning that if Ray needs an attorney, Colon’s firm would represent him. Not only that, but Ray Schultz’s long time BFF Nate Korn, who owns Kauffman’s West Army Navy donated $800 to Brian Colon’s campaign. No surprise there! It is funny how these self preserving / serving individuals will flip flop any which way they have to in order to benefit their agenda. We all know how imbalanced, unfair, and outright crooked the NEW MEXICO LAW ENFORCEMENT ACADEMY BOARD WAS under Korn. We all knew that there was an unexplainable amount of disparate punitive measures laid out on anyone who Schultz deemed a target to be revoked, or retaliated against, and the proof is there to stand it up. One assistant AG had resigned over tampering with cases, along with other hearing officers over the conduct going on up there. We all know that Nate Korn buys in when it benefits Nate Korn and this sends a clearer message that Colon is allied with those connected with Schultz.

One last thing. Today through social media, we found out that Dan Lewis’s own Turf is supporting Tim Keller in the election. Yesterday it was announced that ABQWest Chamber of Commerce is endorsing Tim Keller. You can read it above. Now that folks is a kick in the balls.

Most every union and association in the state seems to be behind Tim Keller. We will wait, and see what the APOA does in the near future, considering who they will be supporting. From our Eyes in the field, we know that most of the officers with APD are supporting Tim Keller. Our Eyes are telling us there is much wavering over possible money issues, and personal promises made, but Keller laid it out as opposed to the others. Things will be negotiated, and he will support our officers so that they can do their job under a just, and not corrupted administration. No lies like Berry told, but admitting there will be raises.

As for the rumored attacks coming down the pipeline… we will be watching closely, and observing for the usual suspects, along with their motives, and where these snipes are originating from, because you are going to see the same creeps who stood by while this administration burned down the barn, twist words, manipulate circumstances, and flat out lie to make it look like someone ate a chicken egg that wasn't theirs. Remember the difference between what something looks like, and what it is, because all of these attack traits can be seen in this administration.

We are looking forward to a new administration, and an end to this back biting, candy ass, horse shit, and it will be nice when we have positive things to say for a change.

Below is a social media release from Keller we picked up from the net.
