Irvine Great Park CEO Michael D. Ellzey: Is This Man An Imposter?

Please forward this column to other Veteran organizations, especially USMC-related and networked ones.

(LAGUNA BEACH) - We are investigating the various claims and allegations made by Great Park CEO Michael Ellzey, most directly attributable to him in biographical interviews and press releases.

I’ll be using variations of “supposed, purported, allege and claim” a lot in this column because frankly, none of us believes his self-described history.

How Drug Money is Buying Our New Congress

Supreme Court ruling is a drug baron's dream...

(CINCINNATI) - Republicans and “Tea Party” candidates are expecting to take over congress in a very few days, a “big win” totally underwritten with drug money. There is no secret about it. By June, $200 million in “foreign” contributions had already come into the GOP and Tea Party and not one cent of it is accounted for.

It is “corporate” money, money that doesn’t have to be American, doesn’t have to be legal, money that would put any normal American in prison for years if they had one cent in their pockets.

Treasure Island`s Toxic Problem

Turns out that old Treasure Island Naval Station is some of the 'hottest' property in San Francisco...

(SAN FRANCISCO) - The Blue Angels jet fighters racing across the sky maybe 500 feet above me, were practicing for an air show so the Navy could show off what it considers the very best in personnel, training and equipment.

Their presence over the old Treasure Island Naval Station that day was ironic, because I was visiting the island to see the Navy at its most decrepit and toxic.

Phoenix Cop Videotaped Planting Evidence On Homeless Woman

The same officer now faces Murder charges for killing an unarmed man.

(PHOENIX, Az.) - It took five years to finally be released to the public, but video of a Phoenix Police officer planting evidence on an innocent homeless woman Thursday was well timed. Well timed that is, to coincide with a Murder charge against the same cop, a Phoenix officer named Richard Chrisman.

Police released the video Thursday showing Chrisman arresting a woman right next the medical examiner's office in Phoenix.

Political Corruption, `And The Band Played On`

Corruption, corruption, it starts not at the bottom but the top,
That’s why when it is revealed there are many who will drop...

(CLEVELAND) - Corruption as defined by Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The word corrupt (Middle English, from Latin corruptus, past participle of corrumpere, to destroy : com-, intensive pref. and rumpere, to break) when used as an adjective literally means "utterly broken".

Christianity and the Constitution

(PASO ROBLES, Calif.) - Republicans consider our Constitution the equivalent of the Bible when it suits their purpose.

Christine O’Donnell, in trying to divert attention from her fundamentalism, exclaims that if elected she will make decisions and use her Senatorial judgment based only on the Constitution. Nonsense; Angle, Palin, Bachmann, Ron Paul and others are determined to lead us down their misguided religious paths.

Circumcision is a Real Killer in America

It used to be 'elective tonsillectomies'; that was the doctor's money making game, but it was outlawed.

(SALEM, Ore.) - I can't help being a little obsessed over the fact that more than 100 American male children die every year from being circumcised.

A study published last April; Thymos: Journal of Boyhood Studies, estimates that over 100 baby boys die from circumcision complications every year. These deaths are attributed to anesthesia reaction, stroke, hemorrhage, and infection.
