Androscoggin County Sheriff's Department Internal Affairs Complaint‏

March 12, 2015

William Gagne, Chief Deputy Androscoggin County Sheriff's Department 2 Turner St. Auburn ME. 04210 

Dear Deputy Chief Gagne:

In reference to your response to my internal affairs complaint about Deputy Tim Kachnovich, please provide me with a specific written source (citation) to your statement that you do not have jurisdiction for the internal affairs complaint.  I would think one source would be the County Sheriff's Operations and Procedures Manual.  Another source would be the name, title,  and contact information of the attorney(s) who gave you that opinion, preferably in writing.  If there are Maine State Statutes that govern your decision, please cite those specifically.

My belief at this time is that you not only have jurisdiction, you have a moral and legal obligation to investigate according to written procedures, procedures that will protect the citizens and Deputy Kachnovich.

In the meantime, I am preparing a complaint and demand for Declaratory Judgments  for Federal Court, though that may be changed to Maine Superior Court, pending decisions from the Maine Administrative Act Court (J. Poulin). N.B. Not a single sworn statement made by me or Mr. Weaver were challenged by the Town of Livermore or Deputy Kachnovich.  Obviously, my approach to resolving conflicts is to use the simplest methods available.  If the simplest method fails, I move up to the more complicated ones, up to and including the Maine Supreme Court (e.g.., see the recent Maine Supreme Court ruling on making 911 transcripts of homicides public; and long ago, Federal court decisions on Pineland)

Last week at a Maine Traffic Safety Committee meeting, I spoke about how an information audit I conducted this past autumn on Sheriff''s Departments in five counties and about 20 police departments revealed excellent compliance by all Sheriff's Departments but miserable compliance by the most of the Police Departments. Interestingly, Brunswick P.D., Mexico P.D., and Rumford P.D. each earned a solid A.  

Please note that my original complaint with Internal Affairs stands and I've attached my court filings for the Administrative Procedures Act Hearing.  Please re-examine my original IA complaint for investigation.  

I did not allege witness tampering or party tampering or obstruction of justice, though I should be able to do that in another week, depending on the levels of interference I experience in meeting with competent, knowledgeable, and relevant witnesses.  I also did not allege violations of Antitrust laws, but those are likely a potential problem in this case.

Attached: Motion to Intervene

Copy: Forbe's Magazine

P.S.  Forbes' Magazine continues to rate Maine next to the  bottom among the states on friendliness to business.  I can't help but infer that the integrity of local law enforcement, and the fact that in our small town of Livermore we are now facing from 6 to 21 homes being foreclosed are causally, proximally relate .  I am unable to reject the Forbe's rankings of Maine.

 

MARKET RANTS of: 02/27/15 - Gold; Silver; Dollar Index; US30 Bonds; DOW‏

CAFR1 NATIONAL POST

---

 

 

CAFR1 MARKET RANTS POST OF 02/27/15 - The FOCUS basics followed by THE MARKETS:

Ever hear of the expression: "Not being able to see the forest through the trees"?

Over the last 20-years I have learned the #1 aspect of what moves the market and who makes those moves.

It is never discussed or mentioned due to the obvious reality of the situation "if" comprehended by the players.

So a total vacuum and void in the public's mind is created and stringently maintained by the PTB (Powers That Be) due to the massive wealth, consistent profit, and control involved. 

The forest that the population can not see through the trees is:

The primary "owner" of the markets both domestic and international is now Collective Government.

In the US there are over 184,000 local government operations and several thousand Federal. Each with their own investment portfolios and all networked as one through several private associations. Collectively they "own" the market place, insurance industries, banking, mortgage, etc., through investment ownership. When there assets are networked in or out, short or long by the private associations that consult and indirectly direct those funds, they MAKE the moves in the market. Fast, slow, contrarily to all fundamentals, with the bottom line being they in doing so "liquidate" every one else of their assets and wealth. Tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars monthly depending on circumstances an volatility. 

They have it down to a fine art of movement; volume; and pressure points for liquidation or motivating over-extension of the public players.

I have spent 20-years looking at the collective totals of collective government local and federal. Government goes far out of their way to make sure the population never caches on the the reality of what is taking place right in front of their faces. A blackout of a cognitive though is maintained by government through their efforts exherted in the syndicated media, controlled education, political parties, etc... for not a peep, mention, or word that would trigger cognitive thinking of this issue. Government, little by little over the years TOOK IT ALL OVER BY INVESTMENT.

So, with the before-mentioned stated, when trading any market, it is very important to ask yourself: What trap are they creating to liquidate everyone else of their wealth and at the same time enhance their own balance sheets?

The majority of People have very short term memories. Those that do remember, will remember the many times that if when the stock market; gold; crude oil etc., was promoted as the sky is the limit or it is collapsing and will continue to collapse, the exact opposite happened each time over the last several decades. What the government institutional fund managers do, as they are being networked by the government gang's established private associations is to in so many words: School the minnows from one end of the pond to the other as the sharks (Government institutional fund managers) feast.

They make more money short selling at critical moments then can possibly be imagined (09/2001 and 03/2008). At the end of 2001 about 4 to 6 trillion was sucked out of the world market place on those massive pr-played shorts and in 2008 with an across the board short play established (except on US Treasuries and the Dollar where they took long positions) about 32 to 35 trillion was sucked out of the Global market place and into their covertly held balance sheets.

People are not to bright at times and in 2008 one side of the coin was promoted to the population, the losses. Well, not a peep as to the other side of the coin, the massive profits on those pr-played short positions as almost all sectors and commodities collapsed primarily over a 0ne and a half month time period. The world exchanges clear "every derivative transaction" and for every $1 lost in one account a $1 credit is made to another account. So in 2008 when trillions were evaporated from many accounts, who primarily got the corresponding credit? ANSWER: Institutional Government investment accounts, most of which were covertly held scattered across the globe.

Bottom line? If you want to catch some of the big moves consistently in the market place, throw the above into your thinking to determine what the play of the day, week, month, or year is designed by the institutional government fund management teams to catch everyone else in the wrong direction! Cross reference what is being promoted and what actually happens. It is very important to ask yourself the following question: OK, now that I have determined the perfect point to enter based on what is promoted and what I am currently seeing, where could they push it to if they wanted to screw everybody?

You will realize after you make that adjustment, you will hit the mark almost every single time as to being short or long one of the primary markets due to the one reality of: The sharks are out to screw everybody and do so more consistently than not.. They chum the waters, school the minnows, promote the minnows involvement, and then feast on the minnows at the side of the pond they directed them to be at in the first place.

If you want to get an idea of the Scope and Size of investment portfolios of local governments in the US, I have compiled just a few (about 4200) local government AFRs Annual Financial Reports here - http://cafr1.com/listings/Listings.html   Local governments put one word, Comprehensive, at the beginning of their AFR to make it called a CAFR and by the way started the CAFR accounting structure in 1946 and it became the standard in 1977. Gee, I wonder why they never told you or the rest of the population about it for 65-years? Go figure..

THE MARKETS:

Gold and Silver? Looks like both are getting ready for a big push to the upside after the last few months of short clips on the downside orchestrated by the institutional managed funds. Also the Chinese as of this week are back after their recent New Year's celebration. The Chinese being one of the biggest players and growing evermore as time goes by have been working on a Global trading currency other than the Yuan that is ready for launch (when launched it will have a several year strong impact on the precious metals market). Their new global "for trade" currency they will be putting forth will be gold backed. Also, during their one-week business shut-down for the New Years celebration, there was a noticeable change in an old and well established tradition in China that takes place over the New Year's celebration. That tradition is the giving of the famous "Red envelope" to friends and family, young and old. The Red Envelope usually would contain currency, the Yuan, noted to bring good fortune and prosperity to the recipient. Well, this year many of those Red envelopes contained not currency but Gold and Silver coins by the 10th of an ounce to to several ounces contained therein. Totals between a billion or so Chinese? Let's just say you would be figuring in the tons collectively. The Chinese government also a little over two-years ago promoted to their population (edict given) that Gold and Silver should be collected and held as a status of wealth obtained. So the Chinese New Years celebration has ended this week and a billion or so Chinese are back to business as usual with a sparkle in their eye very eager to be buyers taking advantage of the dip in gold and silver that took place while they were on holiday. In the last two days there has been a serious battle taking place between the buyers and sellers.

Now the institutional fund manager that have had an easy time of quickly clipping the price of gold and silver over the last year liquidating much wealth from the buyers are not going to have such an easy time continuing their normal bait you in and chop your you know what off. As of the end of this week they have China and the rest of Asia to contend with (creating more buyers than sellers) and are faced with a double whammy. The second aspect the institutional fund management sellers will be dealing with is a normal re-tracement from recent contract highs (about 96.50) made in the Dollar Index. In the short run the dollar index backing off to 90.00 to 91.00 should be a normal re-tracement in my opinion. The effect of both factors come mid-March on Gold and Silver? In my guesstimate prices could reach $1,350 Gold and $19.25 Silver (many from Asia and the mid-East are looking for $27.50 Silver in less than 5 months), or possibly higher.

Crude Oil? Well the play there by the institutional government fund managers on the downside for the last several months was a push from $100 a barrel to recently down to $45.00 a barrel. Currently as of the close this week it is at about $49 a barrel. The push on the downside was intentionally done to try and kick-start several economies around the globe (especially the US) that were floundering. It had a negative effect on the oil companies (and Government physical investments in the same, even though they probably made a killing on short crude oil derivatives) but the drop in prices was quite a perk to everyone else. What the writing on the wall tells me is that crude oil prices will be held between a range of $44 to $58 per barrel until there is clear evidence the economy is strengthening, or as it looks now, the time for that to come into play being five to eight months from now. 

US30 Bonds? Here as we all have seen, the play was over the last several years to run US30 Bonds up through contract highs and then new contract highs over and over again. (high priced US30 Bonds means very low interest rates). Again, this was done to stabilize the economy and as all of those traders that shorted the Bonds over the last eight-years found out, to liquidate them of their wealth as US30 Bonds contrary to the fundamentals of the past  (interest rates going up and US30 Bonds down when money gets tight) kept breaking new highs and then another new high time and time again that created a virtual miniscule interest rate yield on those bonds. Bottom line there was; the Government Institutional Fund managers could move the market where they wished, for the purpose they wished, within the time parameters they wished, and they did so. The big question on everyone's mind that trades US30 Bonds and other interest vehicles over the last two years is, was, and has been: When will the 1st increase of interest rates take place? Keep in mind that the 1st indication; announcement; projected plan stated by the Fed will have a massive visceral reaction from the market place as everyone moves to position themselves shorting US30 Bonds and other interest vehicles for the impending / imminent rise in rates. That factor of a massive visceral reaction coming from the world markets scares the hell out of the Fed and US Government administration. So how will it be done? Well, they already are doing it covertly. US30 Bonds recently topped out (me says the top is finally in) at 171.04 (02/02/15) and then hit 158.26 (02/16/15) two weeks latter.

As of the close this week the US30 Bonds were at 161.27. What has become apparent to me is that the Fed will run the price of US30 Bonds down over the next several months to the 125.00 to 118.00 level "without" making any announcement as to a policy change. Maybe a word here or there as to potential of a change. Then once the US30 Bonds reach the level they would have shot to in the blink of an eye "if" a policy change announcement was made now, when those pricing levels are hit ten-months to a year from now, THEN they will make the announcement of a rate increase. Here in that fashion they will get an orderly sell-off over the next year period and in fact when they make the announcement of the 1st rate increase, interest rate vehicles will take a quick plummet and then just as quick pop back up over the pricing they were at when they made the announcement.  So, for those that trade the US30 Bonds and other interest rate vehicles, the above analogy should give you a pretty clear path to follow if you agree. 

DOW? Simple one to me there. Local and Federal Government since 2008 wishes and has the intent to maintain and increase their ledger values relative to the holdings they contain. I have told many over the last three-years due to that reason (and the political impact it will have) to; Look for the News Headlines in mid 2015 to read "DOW breaks the 20,000 level!"

The above is my personal opinion of the writing on the wall.

A Novel Idea For Consideration ~ Lisbon vs. Lisbon Falls Check Out Caribou Secession Movement~Should this be an option for Lisbon?

Caribou secessionists submit petition to city officials

 

By Natalie de La Garza, Aroostook Republican & News

Posted March 10, 2015, at 7:11 p.m.

CARIBOU, Maine — The effort to split one northern Maine municipality into two communities moved a step closer to reality Monday night.
Members of the Caribou Secession Committee submitted their petition to leave Caribou and take 80 percent of its landmass with them.

“Tonight, after nearly nine months of circulating our petition and tabulating the results, we are submitting it to you for certification by the city clerk,” Secession Committee Spokesperson Paul Camping told members of the city council.

Camping told councilors that supporters gathered about 1,250 signatures, which he was confident exceeded the number needed to require a public hearing and advance the cause. The exact number of signatures required has to be more than 50 percent of the registered voters in the proposed area of secession; that number will be determined by Caribou City Clerk Jayne Farrin.

Muslim arrested for planning terror attack in Washington, D.C. says he would have shot Obama All in the name of Allah

By AmyElizabeth - Mar 9, 2015

 

 

Christopher Cornell, on an exclusive phone call with FOX News from his jail cell, said if he hadn’t been arrested he would have gone to Washington and shot Obama, as well as members of the House and Senate, and he would have attacked the Israeli Embassy and other buildings full of kuffar (unbelievers).

FOX 19 (h/t CreepingSharia)  Muslim convert from Ohio, Cornell is accused of plotting with an FBI informant to plan an attack in Washington, D.C. that included planting pipe bombs around the U.S. Capitol and the Israeli embassy with the intention of then shooting people as they ran from the buildings to escape the bombs.

When Shadows From The Past Reappear, Has Injustice Occurred?

SHADOWS FROM THE PAST COME TO HAUNT TOWN COUNCIL

Back on September 20, 2011, the Town Council at that time voted 6-0 to place on the November 8, 2011 the question of whether or not the people wanted to vote on the Municipal Budget every year.  The following is taken directly from the minutes of this meeting:

Town Council Meeting Minutes Page 10 September 20, 2011

Latest Revision as of 10/4/2011 9:32:58 AM

VOTE (2011-178) Councilor Bowie, seconded by Councilor Bickford moved to adopt the following Order Advisory Referendum:

 WHEREAS, the Town Council of the Town of Lisbon, pursuant to Section 8.21 (b) of the Charter of the Town of Lisbon, has the general authority to submit proposals to the voters of the Town to be acted upon on a referendum basis; and

WHEREAS, THERE IS A DESIRE ON THE PART OF Council to determine whether or not the voters of the Town of Lisbon wish to consider, at a subsequent referendum vote, a Charter change which would require referendum vote approval by the voters of the Town’s Municipal Budget.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDERED by the Town Council of the Town of Lisbon that an advisory referendum be submitted to the voters of the Town of Lisbon at the municipal election scheduled for Tuesday, November 8, 2011, the advisory referendum to read as follows:

 “Do the voters of the Town of Lisbon wish to vote on an amendment to the Town Charter that, if enacted, would require voter approval at a referendum election for each annual Municipal Budget?”

Order passed – Vote 6-0-1. (Abstained: Cote)

As you can see this is not just a normal conversation but it is written in legal terms in order to keep it legal.  It was written by the former Town Attorney, Roger Therriault.  The way I read the highlighted section (in red), if the voters approved the Advisory Referendum Question, the Town Council would then prepare a Charter Change which would require a referendum vote approval by the voters on the Town’s Municipal Budget.  The people spoke loud and clear with a vote of 2025 to 514 in favor of voting on the Municipal Budget.

The previous Councils have never honored or taken any action to allow the people to vote on the Municipal Budget.  What previous Councils have done is everything in their power to prevent this from happening.  This current Council needs to take immediate action to correct the injustice done to our citizens and put this on the June ballot.

Councilor Bickford answered a question from the audience at the last Council meeting; stating the Advisory Referendum Question was NOT binding.  However, the minutes of the Town Council meeting of September 20, 2011 say differently.  The previous Town Council made it a legal and binding action by having the Town Attorney prepare the action for the question to be placed in the minutes in such language makes it binding.

It is time; this Town Council acknowledges the wishes of the people and honors the majority of voters in accordance with the September 20, 2011 minutes.  The Charter needs to be changed immediately and placed on the June ballot so the people have the right to vote on the Municipal Budget.

Let’s see if the current Town Council has the integrity to admit an injustice has been done to the people and take action to correct it immediately.

TWB: Halperin: Hillary Clinton Is No Longer 2016 Favorite Due to Awful Response to Email Scandal

BY: Washington Free Beacon Staff March 8, 2015 9:35 am
Since sending her late-night tweet, Hillary Clinton and her team have been quiet about her use of a personal email address during her time as Secretary of State.
George Stephanopoulos said that in past scandals, the Clintons have hidden behind silence.

With a lack of response from Clinton on the email situation, Bloomberg Politics’ Mark Halperin said he does not think Clinton is the most likely candidate for president. Halperin’s response was met by disbelief from members of the panel.

“Her husband can get through this because he is a politician of a lifetime; she cannot,” Halperin said. “If this is the way that she is going to run her operation, if this is her mindset, I don’t think that she is going to be president.”

The Danger of Negotiating with Iran
By Michael rubin
As a candidate for president, Barack Obama made diplomacy with rogue regimes a signature issue. “The notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them…is ridiculous,” he declared in 2007. In both his inaugural address and his first television interview as president, he reached out to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Meet the Men Behind the Latest Gun Rights Lawsuit in DC

‘I Don’t Believe You’
By jay cost
The first half of 1966 was a rough year for Bob Dylan. The previous spring he had released Bringing It All Back Home, a mix of rock ‘n’ roll and folk music that shocked the sensibilities of the folkies who worshipped him. He followed that up with Highway 61 Revisited in the summer of 1965, a straight-up rock record. Then in the winter of 1966, he went on a world tour: one part acoustic and folk, the other part electric and rock (backed by the group that would become known as The Band).

This Month's Match-Up: Lisbon Town Council vs. Lisbon School Department

MICROMANAGING SCHOOL BUDGET BUT REFUSING TO DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO REDUCE POLICE BUDGET!!!!!

I am going to start this article with praise for the Town Council and our Councilors up to this point.  I firmly believe that this Council has done more for this community than any other Town Council in at least six or more years.  Their decisions have always had the best interest of the community at heart.  That is why it is so hard for me to write this article.

At the last Town Council meeting, Mr. Green presented the School Budget to the Town Council.  In doing so, the budget was nowhere near the $600,000.00 the Town Council directed the School Department to cut.  Mr. Green explained the situation and even read the excerpt from the Town Charter which states the Town Council has the right to amend the total amount of the budget.  It does not state the Town Council can dictate where the School Department MUST makes the cuts, line item by line item, as the Town Council wants to do.  Mr. Green and his people are very knowledgeable about the EPS requirements and what is required by state law.  There is absolutely no need for the Town Council to interfere with their process.

This is even more evident when you think about how the Town Council has never reduced the Police Budget.  I and Mr. Dennis Campana have requested that the Town Council direct the Town Manager to look into having the County Sheriff’s Department take over the policing and dispatch duties in the community.  I realize that there is a manpower study going on right now but what we are talking about is having the County take over complete operations of our police department.  Currently, the cost of operating the Police Department is close to $1.3 to $1.7 million dollars.  I believe the County will provide the same service we are receiving now for approximately $750,000.00 tax dollars or less. 

Regardless of what it will cost the town, it certainly is worth looking into; however, the Town Council is refusing to make any attempt to contact the County for a quote.  Every year, the town goes through the budget season cutting every department with the exception of the Police Department.  In fact the Police Department was increased approximately $78,000.00 tax dollars and replaced two vehicles costing the taxpayers an additional $53,000.00 plus. 

Since, I have been involved in local government here in Lisbon, the Town Council and its councilors have done everything in their power to protect the Police Department budget and in most years increased its operating cost.  Based on the current track record of caring for the community, I was praying this Council would make every effort to bring the Police Department’s budget in line.  These Councilors are going to do everything in their power to protect the Police budget again this year.

So here is the big question; why is the Town Council trying to micromanage the School Department’s budget?  Is it possible this is a diversion to keep from doing what is right with the Police Department budget?

NextNewsNetwork: "Police Reject Reasoning Behind Obama's AR15 Ammo Ban!"‏

 

Police Reject Reasoning Behind Obama's AR15 Ammo Ban! 

 Infowars reporter Mikael Thalen published an article today linking to a Facebook post from Policeone.com.

(Scroll down the Facebook link to read the original article.)

The post contained many comments written by members of the law enforcement community speaking out against Obama's push to ban the M855 round used in AR15 weapons.

The comments by police officers specifically call out the fact that the White House's use of the "officer safety" argument is a joke. Some comments even make reference to this being a backdoor attack on the second amendment.

Watch the report for the rest of the story.

GOPDD: Muslim Imam Who Called For MURDERING Infidels HIRED by Outgoing AG Eric Holder

 by clyde

When you’re going to hire an individual to teach classes to federal prisoners, you may not want to hire someone who believes we should give the death penalty to people who haven’t even committed crimes. However, it makes a bit more sense when you realize the Egyptian-born imam hired by Eric Holder’s Department of Justice […]
