Big Dan's Big News Jan 31, 2009

Update: I added this to yesterday's NEPA Judge-Gate post:

Big Dan has questions:Shown from the left: Rob Mericle of Mericle Commercial Real Estate; DEP Secretary McGinty, Leo Kucewicz, executive assistant to Sen. Ray Musto (D-14); Rosemary Dessoye, executive vice-president of the Greater Pittston Chamber of Commerce; and Lew Sebia, chief operating officer for Mericle Commercial Real Estate.

Read the following excerpts from the excellent local newspaper coverage:

The information filed today alleges the judges received payments from two persons, identified as Participant # 1 and Participant # 2. They are not named, but the information says Participant # 1 was a Luzerne County attorney who was an owner of the Pennsylvania Child Care juvenile detention center that is at the core of the government’s case. Butler Township attorney Robert J. Powell was until June one of two co-owners of Pennsylvania Child Care. The other owner, Gregory Zappala, who is now sole owner of the firm, is a Pittsburgh-area investment banker. Most of the $2.6 million in payments to Ciavarella and Conahan went to Pinnacle Group of Jupiter LLC, a company controlled by the judges that owned an exclusive Florida condominium. The payments were disguised as rental fees for the condo and a related dock.

The information says Participant #2 was the contractor that built Pennsylvania Child Care’s local facility and another in Butler County. The contractor for both projects was Mericle Construction Inc., headed by local developer Robert Mericle.

A spokesman for Mericle Construction, attorney Lew Sebia (Mericle Construction Chief Operating Officer) released the following statement at 5 p.m.:

"Neither Rob Mericle nor Mericle Construction has been charged with any offense. (bd: They always say this. When they're actually charged, they never issue a statement: "OK, now they just got charged"; this is standard) Mr. Mericle has cooperated with all authorities with respect to this investigation and will continue to do so in the future without exception. At no time did Rob Mericle or Mericle Construction ever make any payment to influence a decision to secure a contract to build any PA Child Care facility. (bd: Notice: Sebia did NOT say Mericle Construction never made any payments to the judges Florida company Pinnacle Group of Jupiter LLC" - pretty slick, huh???) Mr. Mericle’s participation to construct these facilities was sought out because of his demonstrated expertise in construction and development. (bd: No one is questioning Mericle Construction's "expertise", we're questioning the kickbacks!!!)"

Big Dan's Big Question: "What was the role of Lew Sebia, the lead counsel and COO of Mericle Construction / Real Estate Co.? Was he the legal operative of "Participant #2" (Mericle)??? Are we all expected to believe that Lew Sebia, the legal counsel for Mericle and COO of Mericle Construction, was unaware that Mericle was a participant in paying $2.6 million in kickbacks to Pinnacle Group of Jupiter LLC in Florida (controlled by Judges Ciavarella and Conahan) and Beverage Marketing (controlled by Judge Conahan)???"


Special commentary by Big Dan: "Why isn't our government waiving the taxing of unemployment? And why aren't they waiving the 10% penalty for withdrawing your 401K? They are DAILY thinking of ways to give the banksters TRILLIONS of our dollars. Don't tell me that it didn't cross their minds to waive taxing unemployment and waiving the 10% penalty on withdrawing your 401K! They just don't give a shit about us, as I've said before. And guess who started BOTH the taxing of unemployment and the 10% penalty on withdrawing your own money from your 401K? YOU'RE GOOD FRIEND RONNIE "ALZHEIMERS" REAGAN! LOOK IT UP!"

"Conservatives" will be afraid to watch this movie...because they'll realize they aren't "conservatives" and the Republican Party is not "conservative". You can sooooooo clearly see how the Bush administration used FEAR to strip us of civil liberties and trash the constitution!

NEPA : Poor JUDGEment

Prison for profit - with juveniles!

DISHONORED: The two judges who led the Luzerne County Court for the last seven years took $2.67 million in payoffs for helping a private juvenile detention center reap millions from county contracts, with one of the judges going so far as to sentence children to detention over the objections of juvenile probation officers to benefit the center, federal prosecutors alleged Monday.

Feds: Judges used system to enrich selves. Allegations are that Ciavarella, Conahan took $2.6M in kickbacks in exchange for judicial rulings regarding juvenile detention centers.



WNEP's "Corruption in Luzerne County" page.


...but what's going on in Florida, too?


What's the deal with Judge Toole and attorney Powell and the Jupiter Yacht Club in Florida? Why was a case about a Florida Yacht Club heard in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania? Strange!!!

Powell’s yacht tied to condo linked to judges: Luzerne County Judge Michael Toole in 2004 ruled in favor of attorney Robert Powell in a dispute regarding the docking of his yacht at a marina at the Florida condominium connected to judges Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan.

What's going on with Mericle Construction? And Florida again?

MERICLE MAN: Mericle Construction Inc., which built the juvenile centers, transferred more than $1 million to a Florida company controlled by the judges

Why does Florida keep popping up in everything?

Judge Conahan, wife connected to former drug dealer...in Florida

...and Judge Conahan directed government money to a bank in which he was a director! Where billionaire casino owner and reputed mobster Louis A. DeNaples was chairman of the board until his recent indictment on perjury charges!

Former Luzerne County President Judge Michael T. Conahan directed millions of government dollars to a bank of which he is a director by ordering the county’s magisterial district judges to deposit their fines there, county and state officials say.

Attorney Robert Powell and attorney Greg Zappala. Powell and Zappala partnered on both the juvenile detention center and the Hazleton cargo airport ventures.


It looks like the same cast of characters was in on the Hazleton cargo airport, too! Commissioners Skrepenak and Vonderheid pushed both the juvenile detention center and the cargo airport projects. Maybe the cargo airport project was scrapped because Judges Ciavarella and Conahan couldn't figure out a way to direct prison labor there!

Butler Township attorney Robert J. Powell is selling his interest in a Pittston Township juvenile detention center and the company developing a proposed $1.6 billion regional cargo airport in the Hazleton area. Gregory Zappala, 47, who partnered with Powell on both ventures, is buying Powell’s interest, “ensuring there will be no change in the operations of the companies

Update in this morning's paper:

Attorney Robert J. Powell, whose holding company allegedly paid kickbacks to Luzerne County Judge Mark A. Ciavarella Jr., won nearly $16 million for his clients in Ciavarella’s courtroom from June 2005 through February 2008, county court records show.

Attorney Robert Powell got defensive during the February 2003 ribbon-cutting ceremony for his newly opened Pittston Township juvenile detention center, saying he bit his tongue while the project was “politicized beyond belief.”

NEPA: #3 and counting, in the Luzerne County Courthouse corruption continuing probe by the FEDS. Rumor has it, many more are expected to go down!

Sharkey faces the JAWS of JUSTICE!

Luzerne County Court Administrator William T. Sharkey Sr., the highest-paid non-judicial employee in the county court system, has agreed to plead guilty to pocketing more than $70,000 seized in illegal gambling cases over 10 years, federal prosecutors said Tuesday.

Sharkey is the third high-ranking court official snared in a wide-ranging, ongoing federal probe of the county court system.

Rove, Siegelman, and the DOJ Firings

Karl Rove is being subpoenaed by John Conyers about the Dept. of Justice firings, and being in the middle of using the DOJ for political prosecutions - including using the DOJ to indict Democrats right before elections. One of those Democrats is Don Siegelman, governor of Alabama, who is a guest in this video. In case you didn't know it, the DOJ firings were because some of the federal attorneys would NOT participate in this! This is a "must see" video, because they give an overview of exactly what the DOJ firings were all about.

The chair of the House Judiciary Committee, John Conyers, has subpoenaed former White House adviser Karl Rove to testify next week about the Bush administration’s firing of nine US attorneys and the prosecution of former Alabama governor Don Siegelman. Rove previously refused to appear before the panel, and former President Bush upheld his legal position. Rove’s attorney, Robert Luskin, said he would consult with President Obama’s White House counsel to determine the Obama administration’s stance. We speak with attorney Scott Horton and former Alabama governor Don Siegelman.

The Bush administration's spying on Americans began before 9/11. Put together all the pieces of the puzzle, domestic spying is just one part of it. Below: putting it all together! Folks! Remember: the anthrax letters were mailed to media heads like Peter Jennings and two anti-war Democrats and blamed on Arabs! Was the domestic spying targeting journalists and the anthrax mailings to the heads of media to "shut up" the media? The anthrax letters said things like "Death To Israel" and "Allah Is Great", and then it turned out the anthrax letters (we're told) were sent by someone in our own government! Obviously, the writings on the anthrax letters were meant to blame Arabs! Who keeps blaming Arabs for everything, even though so much evidence points towards Israelis? Who can that be?

Interestingly, this was written in 2003 and they said the anthrax letters were a frame-up of the Arabs, and several years after this was written, the FBI said someone from our own govt did the anthrax letters and committed suicide - so NOT Arabs!

Big Dan's Big News Jan 26, 2009 - Here's Rooting For Another 9/11!!!

Marc A. Thiessen - Go crawl back under the slimy rock you slithered out from under a few years ago!

Are these people who keep saying "2,688 days without a terrorist attack" rooting for another terrorist attack (inside job) in the U.S. for political gain to help their party? The message is clear in this Washington Post op-ed by Marc Thiessen. What you don't know about him, is he is Bush's former chief speechwriter. He says, among other horseshit: "When President Bush left office on Tuesday, America marked 2,688 days without a terrorist attack on its soil. There are 1,459 days until the next inauguration. Whether Barack Obama is standing on the Capitol steps to be sworn in a second time depends on whether he succeeds in replicating Bush's achievement." and "If Obama weakens any of the defenses Bush put in place and terrorists strike our country again, Americans will hold Obama responsible -- and the Democratic Party could find itself unelectable for a generation." Sounds like he's another "party before country" fascist! Just like the rest of the Bushites! If there is another "terrorist attack" (inside job), these scumbags will definitely be cheering and have even more op-eds and TV appearances saying how their party should be back in power. And I'm not even mentioning that they're wrong to begin with. 9/11, the worst "terror attack" (inside job) in American history, happened on Bush's watch. And what about the anthrax attacks and the 4,000+ American soldiers killed in Bush's Wars of Lies? Bush has the worst anti-terrorism record of any president in U.S. history!

These scoundrels' favorite word is "SINCE" "SINCE" "SINCE" "SINCE" "SINCE"!!!

"SINCE" 9/11" - as if president Bush wasn't the president on 9/11! Some "other guy" was president on 9/11, right Marc? And Dennis Miller? I guess Republican rules are this: IF A PRESIDENT IS A REPUBLICAN AND THERE'S A "TERROR ATTACK", IT'S THE PREVIOUS NON-REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT'S FAULT. IF A PRESIDENT IS NOT A REPUBLICAN, IT'S THEIR FAULT! That is exactly what Marc Thiessen is saying! Ahead of time, he's rooting for a "terrorist attack" (inside job) during Obama's presidency.

I don't know about you, but these bastards are the complete opposite of this guy: "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Ben Franklin

Big Dan appeals to super-rich for medical care for Americans!

This message is for all the super-rich in this country, those of you who got millions and billions of tax cuts during the Bush years. I'm appealing to you to cover the rest of us Americans with health care. Our government isn't. Our government won't. So, won't you take your millions and billions of dollars you're never going to spend, and cover us all with health insurance? We're all losing our homes because of the medical bills. And now, guess what? Hospitals want money up front or they won't see you. Of course, you don't experience this, as you have millions and billions of dollars. Trust me, it's happening! Please give us some of your money you're not using, for health care! Please! David Rockefeller, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, the Bush Crime Syndicate, the Democrat and Republican Crime Syndicates, and the rest of you: please cover us Americans with health care with some of your money! You're our only hope, so we don't die of something preventable! Things you take for granted! It's your civic duty as OUR fellow Americans!

Thank you,
Big Dan

With four executive orders today, our new President:

● Ordered Guantánamo Bay shut down
● Banned torture
● Ordered a full review of U.S. detention policies and procedures, and
● Delayed the trial of Ali al-Marri, an ACLU client whose case is at the center of the Supreme Court’s review of indefinite detention policies.
