Journal editors think I'm a gadfly; they have written as much

1. A persistent irritating critic; a nuisance.
2. One that acts as a provocative stimulus; a goad.
3. Any of various flies, especially of the family Tabanidae, that bite or annoy livestock and other animals.

They think ill of me after years of defamation by the leadership of the APS.  They think ill of me because the leadership of the APS convinced them to.  The editors accepted the slander and libel and acted upon it.  Whether out of their malice or incompetence, they have ignored credible evidence and testimony regarding a years long cover up of felony criminal misconduct involving senior APS administrators.

That I was a "gadfly" should not have , would not have, and
did not keep them from investigating and reporting on the cover up.

Their corruption and or willful ignorance/incompetence did.

That I am still a gadfly, does not keep the media from
investigating and reporting on the ethics and accountability
scandal in the leadership of the APS,

... it is only their corruption that does.




The drawing is not mine, 
my considerable effort to 
find the creator was fruitless

Is Brad Winter's testimony credible?

I am going to write from memory here; if the transcript contradicts me, I will let you know.

APS COO Brad Winter was testifying under oath.  He testified that after the August 25 Audit Committee Meeting, I walked up to him and invaded his personal space by leaning in and whispering something he took to be "threatening" in his ear.

 I already told you what honestly happened, link.

Winter ended up arguing that no one has ever leaned in toward him, that did not make him feel threatened by their so doing.  After considerable coaxing, Winter finally conceded that "maybe 3 or 4 times" in his life, has someone leaned in toward him without making him feel threatened.

Would you believe; photo-
journalist and blogger
Mark Bralley managed to
capture all three!?

What are the odds?

I mean, seriously,
what are the odds
that Bralley caught
Brad Winter every
time in his life that
someone leaning in
toward him, didn't
make him feel threatened?

Slim; in my estimation;
exceedingly slim.  Really, really slim.

The same odds probably, that you will get bitten by a
Polar Bear and a Brown Bear in the same day.

A little later, Winter swore;

All anyone has to do to find out how much money he spent, and on what, at 6400 Uptown Blvd., is to file a public records request.

Been there, done that, link.

You really can't make this crap up; not in this volume,
not this fast.

I cannot, I was told, have it both ways

I have testified under oath, that I believe the leadership of the APS has made a deliberate decision to ignore me.

I have testified as well, that I believe the leadership of the APS is retaliating against me because of the content of my speech at public forum, and because of what I write on my blog.

You can't have it both ways, I'm told.  If they are retaliating against you, they are not ignoring you.

Honestly, I never thought of it that way.

They ignore me at public forum, and everywhere else I try to engage them in two way conversation about legitimate public interests, except that they retaliate against me for having so done.

The Defendants also, cannot have it both ways.

Either I am so threatening that

• an entire administrative complex has been, at great expense, fortified and wired to record my every movement,
• Their Chief had to order my close up surveillance by multiple police officers whenever I set foot on APS Property
• The Communications Director ordered her subordinates to photograph me,
• Their lawyer told them to document my behavior,
• I am banned for life from "threatening" them again.

or;

The fact that, despite all that effort and six years of trying,
they were not able to create a single;

• photograph, 
• videotape, 
• audiotape, 
• document, or 
• contemporaneous record of me doing anything other than exercising my Constitutionally protected human rights to speak freely and petition my government

means something!



They can't have it both ways.
