Different theories on many topics including current news events, political, and whatever else I'm thinking about and decide to share.
Current Seattle Time |
A federal inquiry into steroid abuse by a Canby officer and a cover-up by his chief has stretched to other law enforcement agencies, thanks to the cooperation of man who supplied the steroids: Canby resident William J. Traverso, who has admitted to selling steroids to other officers in the Portland area.
Traverso, one of the central figures in the Canby steroid abuse inquiry that put former Officer Jason Deason in jail and spurred Chief Greg Kroeplin's resignation, sought a lenient sentence Monday because he's been helping the FBI.
The federal investigation already has prompted the resignation of four law enforcement officers who also have lost their police certification -- Deason, Kroeplin, Washington County narcotics dog handler Jared Gochenour and West Linn Officer Jess Riley.
Riley, who formerly worked as a Milwaukie officer, resigned from West Linn on April 9.
The federal inquiry also has led to the questioning of Portland Sgt. Charles Brown, who lives in Canby and whose late father was a retired Canby school superintendent. Portland police have been ordered not to talk about the federal investigation involving Brown.
"I'm not at liberty to discuss anything," Brown said Monday.
In a letter submitted to a Clackamas County judge Monday, FBI Special Agent Christopher Frazier said that Traverso has discussed his drug distribution activities in detail. "The public safety employees identified by Traverso included law enforcement officers, corrections officers, fire and rescue personnel and university public safety officers," Frazier wrote, "Several spin-off FBI public corruption investigations were initiated as a result of these allegations, and are ongoing."
Traverso's attorney John Henry Hingson III urged the court to reward his client for his cooperation by sentencing him to community service. He criticized the district attorney's office and the City of Canby for letting Kroeplin resign with a payout and not face prosecution. He also urged the court to consider the danger Traverso could face behind bars. "Deason has one strike against him in jail. He's an ex-cop," Hingson said. "Traverso has two strikes against him. He's a snitch, and he's somebody that fingered cops."
Hingson argued that the judge doesn't have to hold a harsh sentence over his client's head. He said Traverso is still willing to help "clean up" law enforcement in the Portland area.
"People who are using steroids and packing Glocks..." Hingson said, "I cannot think of a more frightening thing in terms of the safety of the public."
Hingson referred to a July 1985 shooting by then-Clackamas County jailer, Glenn D. Woolstrum, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison after he abducted, shot and paralyzed a woman who worked at a feed store at Wanker's Corner. The woman had joked about deputies frequently using the store phone when Woolstrum asked to make a call. Woolstrum's attorney argued that his client's actions were "aberrant" acts caused by steroid use.
Clackamas County deputy district attorney Michael Wu argued that Traverso should spend 30 days in jail, saying Traverso's neighbors suffered because of the around-the-clock drug activity at his home. The neighbors complained that they had been ignored by Canby police. Further, Traverso was arrested for driving high on methamphetamine as he was speeding to a September court hearing in this case, and agents learned he had bought stolen guns from two men who burglarized a home in Sherwood. He pleaded guilty to delivery of controlled substance, driving under the influence of intoxicants and theft. "Mr. Traverso's crimes and effect on the community deserve a jail sanction," Wu said.
Hingson said Traverso, 39, began using steroids for competitive body building, and he attained the title of "Mr. Oregon." But the story of a local Canby boy making good was shattered when he cheated and used steroids to attain his bodybuilding physique, and became addicted to methamphetamine.
After federal agents searched Traverso's home and his parents' business in July 2008, Canby Landscape Supply, Traverso admitted to the FBI he helped Deason acquire steroids and human growth hormone. He also provided agents a letter Deason had written to him April 30, 2002 on Canby Police stationery, placing a steroid order. Traverso also told agents Deason had tipped him off to an internal police investigation into Deason's steroid abuse in 2001, and coached Traverso on how to answer any police questions. If he was asked if he knew anything about Deason's steroid use, Traverso was to answer, "No I don't know, ask him yourself," Deason told him, according to a FBI document.
Clackamas County Judge Douglas V. Van Dyck said Traverso must recognize the hurt he caused his community. He ordered Traverso to turn himself into the Clackamas County jail on Friday, for a 15-day jail sentence, followed by 30 days electronic home detention and 24 months probation.
The judge also applauded Traverso for helping to identify officers who were buying the illegal steroids. "Good, that's the way it should be, because this community should stand no corruption in those charged to uphold the law," the judge said. "When a police officer operates outside the law, one or two, it can undermine the noble work of thousands of officers."

SEATTLE -- Every time local computer professor Marta Lyall goes online she fears she will be attacked.
”You are basically under siege,” says the one time Carnegie Mellon professor in computer programming and virtual worlds.
Last year on Valentine’s Day, Lyall received an email from a former student, Noah David Simon, that contained a video link. That video shows Simon waving a gun and Lyall says what Simon said she felt was a death threat.
It didn’t stop there. Next blog posts started to appear which contained lies and inflammatory statements about Lyall, her family and even her medical history. Also fake Facebook pages and social media pages were set up under Lyall’s name.
“You are constantly left in a state of fear and a sense you don’t know what’s happening and you don’t know what is happening next," says Lyall.
Despite all her advanced schooling in computers, Lyall says she now can't use her degree. Lyall goes one step further and claims women are targeted by male hackers and don’t want females online.
“The better you are the more you will be attacked,” she says.
In the spring of 2007, popular Silicon Valley blogger Kathy Sierra was targeted by cyberbullies and hackers. Blog and newspaper headline revealed Sierra received death threats and vicious online postings which prompted Sierra to cancel public appearance and move her online career offline.
It also happened to successful Chicago blogger Patrice Elizabeth Grell Yursik. This fall her site "Afrobella" was hacked. Guests could not log on to her site due to malicious code. It took a four-person team and a month before she was able to get her site back online.
“I have 25 hundred to 3 thousand visitors a day. It is my livelihood. It was really a terrible thing to have that jeopardized,” says Yursik. “I think successful woman like myself tend to be targeted.”
As for Lyall, she is remaining offline for the time being. She says her personal, professional and financial life has been adversely affected by the cyberbullying.
The accused cyberbully Noah David Simon is currently in jail in New York where he lives. He faces three felony charges here including Cyberstalking and I.D. Theft. Prosecutors in King County want to bring Simon to Seattle to face charges since the victim lives in the area. He is expected in court next week.
Lyall says she has spent nearly 40 hours a week battling the false rumors and postings on the web about her. She doesn’t think she will ever fully correct all the bad posts.
"Your online presence isn't necessarily the truth and you have to live with that,” she says.
NOTE: This afternoon Seattle / King County Metro Transit has decided to reject the arab terrorist anti-Israel bus ads SEATTLE -- King County Metro Transit officials announced Thursday the decision to halt all new non-commercial ads, including two controversial campaigns claiming Israeli war crimes and Palestinian war crimes. |
WASHINGTON (UPI) – Former CIA officials told United Press International that Southern California's Disneyland and Seattle's Space Needle were targets of foiled 1999 millennium bombing attacks financed and advised by Saudi millionaire terrorist Osama bin Laden.
According to these sources, who asked not to be identified, the plot came to light when a 32-year-old Algerian man, Ahmed Ressam, was stopped by U.S. Customs officials on Dec. 14, 1999, at Port Angeles, about 60 miles northwest of Seattle, after crossing the Canadian border.
When Customs officials began to search Ressam's car, he ran away but was caught several hours later hiding a few blocks away. But what U.S. officials found hidden in the tire well of Ressam's car was chilling: Ten 110-pound plastic bags of urea, a legal substance used in fertilizer that can also be used to make explosives.
There were also two plastic bags of the absorption agent sulfate and four small black boxes containing timers.
"He had enough material to make four or more bombs," said one former U.S. intelligence official.
On Dec. 28, Seattle Mayor Paul Schell canceled the city's New Year's Eve celebration including music, dancing and other festivities scheduled under the 52-story-high Space Needle because he said the threat of terrorism made it impossible to ensure citizens' safety. At least 50,000 people had been expected to attend.
The FBI made other public statements that there was "no specific information" that the Space Needle was in danger.
But former U.S. intelligence officials flatly said Schell's statement was "rubbish" and that the FBI had "plenty of indications" that the Space Needle "was a bin Laden target."
Ressam had reservations under the name of Benni Antoine Norris at a hotel only five blocks away from the Space Needle. Most importantly, U.S. investigators discovered that "Ressam had a map with other targets circled on it." The Space Needle was one; others were in California. One of these was Disneyland, one former CIA source said.
Especially chilling to investigators were the timers Ressam was carrying. According to a U.S. government official, they were made from a Casio digital watch that had been transformed into a timing switch. Such timers were the trademark of Ramsi Youssef, the mastermind of the World Trade Center bombing who had developed the Casio watch timer and a tiny "Mark II bomb" during his stay in the Philippines in 1994, sources said.
Just days before Christmas, the White House asked Americans to be vigilant this holiday season, warning of a possible -- though unspecified -- terror threat from Al Qaeda. The caution echoed a weeks' worth of warnings from law enforcement authorities.3. http://alternate-theories.blogspot.com/2010/12/king-county-washington-state-running.html
King County (Seattle) Washington has decided to run anti-Israel / pro arab terrorist advertising campaign for a Seattle based pro-terrorist group. Metro Transit, one of the major government operated bus lines in the Seattle area, has decided to accept money to have anti-Israel signs on the buses that claim Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza. [Note: they changed their minds and the arab terrorist / anti Israel ads have been rejected]
I made a post on another forum about how self centered narcissists are giving to the Kaine Horman Foundation because it makes them feel better. This in spite of the fact that none of the money is being used to search for Kyron and none of it has been used to increase his reward fund. I pointed out that Kaine Horman makes $120,000. a year and NONE of it has been used to pay for searching for Kyron and NONE of it has been used to increase the reward fund from the $50,000. it has been since june. The reward was not even increased after Desiree's pathetic plea for people to donate more money to increase the reward to the $350,000. she thinks Terri Horman paid her attorney. People were gullible enough to donate to increase the reward which because of "logistics" was siphoned into the Kaine Horman Foundation and was never used to increase the reward (see: Kyron Horman "reward fund" )
My post on the other forum said nothing about my need. I stated there are over a million homeless people in the United States and that the mentally unstable narcissists feel good about themselves donating to Kaine Horman and his foundation when none of the money is used to search for Kyron and they do NOTHING to help their homeless and needy neighbors. These mentally unstable narcissists call me a hypocrite because they feel a rich person begging for a fraudulent foundation to increase his wealth is the same as my stating I have a real need to survive until I find a job. They cannot comprhend it is two entirely different things --- but my post was not even about my need - it was about the need of the homeless (which I am not) in this country - the one million homeless including families with children in the United States that need help. The homeless and needy neighbors of those who feel good about donating money and time to a rich person's fraudulent foundation in which the money is not being used to search for his son or to increase the reward money to find his son as he repeatedly states it would be used for.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

JudgeTom said... After 23 years as a judge in juvenile and family court, I believe that teenagers learn from the experiences of their peers, not just from being lectured by those in authority. Consequently, “Teen Cyberbullying Investigated” was published in 2010.
Endorsed by Dr. Phil ["Bullied to Death"], “Teen Cyberbullying Investigated” presents real cases of teens in trouble over their online and cell phone activities.
Civil & criminal sanctions have been imposed on teens over their emails, blogs, texts, IM messages, Facebook & YouTube posts and more. TCI promotes education & awareness of consequences so that our youth will begin to “Think B4 U Click.”
Thanks for looking at “Teen Cyberbullying Investigated” on http://www.freespirit.com [publisher] or on http://www.askthejudge.info [a free website for & about teens and the laws that affect them].
Respectfully, -Judge Tom.
There have been many articles on cyber bullying and social media. Several major newspapers have written articles on the subject along with advise on how to get the cyber bullying stopped and removed from the internet. |

Social media sites such as Facebook promotes narcissism especially those with low self esteem ("see how many "friends" I've got" and "Look at me")2 and because of this, the neo-narcissist believes they can harass and bully anyone that disagrees with them and their viewpoint on anything and everything. This, and the fact facebook and other social media sites do nothing to prevent the bullying, leads to cyber attacks and illegal activities.3 yet neither law enforcement or the social media sites does anything to prevent or stop it. Facebook leads to mob mentality and the belief the neo-narcissist is "entitled" to whatever they and their group wants. This is socialism in the making.
It used to be when people had differing opinions and views they would be able to rationally discuss the differences without being harassed and stalked. Sadly, this is no longer the case. Instead of being thinkers, this country has become a country of feelers - a society where new math and political correctness is more important than facts.4
It has not been presumed that Brent drinks alcohol daily and that his drinking has habitually interfered with parenting; however, at least on one occasion, he was passed out or asleep in his oldest daughter's room and she was disturbed by the strong smell of alcohol. His drinking led to problems in his work place.This document seems to be the source for the wording in the court document Kaine Horman filed on october 25th regarding Terri's visitation request with Kiara (see: What is going on with the Kyron Horman case? ). It is not a coincidence Kaine Horman started making accusations against Terri in preparation for his divorce proceedings. I always knew there was a script and his friend Brent seems to be the source of that script.
The father/Husband, Brent Samodurov, is very angry. The court finds that the father is a narcissistic individual with a sexual deviancy conduct in the recent past, severe alcohol problems in the recent past and attraction to pornography, which continues.
Although the court finds that the Wife tends to exaggerate and overreact, the court is persuaded by the major aspects of the Wife's testimony, such as: (1) the Husband's lying to her about the indecent exposure charge; (2) the Husband's telling the Wife of his addiction to pornography, (3) the Husband's telling the Wife about the Husband's going to Costco with the expressed intent to rape a woman, and (4) the Husband's telling the Wife what warning signs to look out for in his conduct. The court is persuaded that the Husband told these things to the Wife.

29 And Jacob boiled pottage. And Esau came in from the field, and he was faint.
30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage. For I am faint. Therefore was his name called Edom.
31 And Jacob said, Sell me first thy birthright.
32 And Esau said, Behold, I am about to die. And what profit shall the birthright do to me?
33 And Jacob said, Swear to me first. And he sware unto him. And he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
34 And Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils. And he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.

Members of the Skyline School Community, One of the many tasks that law enforcement has undertaken in the course of the investigation of the disappearance of Kyron Horman has been to try and determine as definitely as possible the identity of every individual who was on the Skyline School campus at any time between 8:00 am and noon on June 4, 2010. This has proved a more complex endeavor than one might think. Many sources of information have been consulted.
To date, law enforcement has identified 490 people who were present. In order to ensure, as far as is humanly possible, that this is a complete and accurate list, one of the remaining steps we feel is necessary is to share that list with you, the members of the Skyline Community, and ask you to examine it and inform us of:
1. ANY INDIVIDUAL (to include a minor child), other than a Skyline Student, who you have reason to believe was on the campus between 8-12 on June 4 but is not on this list; and2. ANY INDIVIDUAL who is on the list but who you have reason to believe was not on campus during that time.
We realize that this entails some diminution of the privacy of those on the list. To that end we have removed the names of the Skyline students on our list. Additionally, other minor children are simply referred to as “minor child of ____” and not personally named. To others, we ask your understanding that this is a necessary step in an important criminal investigation and, in any event, would probably occur ultimately through media coverage of court proceedings.
You may respond to this inquiry in one of two ways:a. Call the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office tipline at (503) 261-2847 and leave a voice mail with the following information:1. Your name2. That you are calling in response to the “Skyline School project”3. A contact number where you can be reached4. Information regarding any individual who should be on or off the list belowb. Send an e-mail to Skyline.Flyer@mcso.us and include the same information listed in items 1-4, above.
Your prompt response to this inquiry will assist law enforcement greatly in completing one of our many tasks. Thank you in advance for taking the time to review this list and respond.
- The Kyron Horman Investigation Task Force
The task force assigned to the Kyron Horman investigation has asked the Skyline Elementary School community to help determine who was at the school when the boy disappeared.Early on when I was posting on Oregonlive (many of my posts were removed and that is one of the reasons I started this blog) and repeated in early posts on this blog, I stated Kyron's disappearance could be another, more elaborate, balloon boy hoax or real life reality show1, psychological testing by the government (or another entity)2, or a parental abduction most likely by Kaine Horman (although possibly by Desiree Horman-Young)3
The letter included a list of 490 people the task force believed were at the school between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. on June 4th, the last day Kyron Horman was seen.
Anyone who noticed any discrepancies on the list was asked to report that information to the task force.
