  • So Long Loughner: a Life Sentence for a Framed Patsy
    Stephanie Sledge – So Long Loughner SO LONG LOUGHNER: A LIFE SENTENCE FOR A FRAMED PATSY Sentencing day: New evidence, facts, and suppressed info- Could Loughner be innocent? By Stephanie Sledge 06Nov2012 : Revised 05Nov2018 http://www.thegovernmentrag.com/so‐long‐loughner‐a‐life‐sentence‐for‐a‐framed‐patsy.html "America is now part of the history of Communism. Interesting way to think of it, wouldn't you say?"- Dieter Heinlander; Gerta, "We would have been better off in East Germany" - Amerika, Mini Series, 1987 Jared Lee Loughner will be sentenced after accepting a guilty plea bargain on November 8th, 2012 for the alleged Tucson Safeway shooting rampage that took place on January 8th, 2011. Six people were gunned down and 13 others allegedly injured. Among the dead was a federal judge and a 9-year old girl named, Christina-Taylor Green. From the beginning, it was reported Jared Lee Loughner was a crazy, deranged schizophrenic psychopath that lacked the help of the mental health industry, went on a killing spree, and then drank the federal penitentiary pharmaceutical ‘kool-aid’ mixture which brought him back to sanity. At least long enough ‘sanity’ for him to enter into a guilty plea. Now, in just a few days, Loughner will be sentenced to life in prison. Page 1 of 30 Stephanie Sledge – So Long Loughner But, wait a minute, back it up! Could Jared Lee Loughner actually be an innocent man? It is apparent Loughner’s attorney, CIA Judy Clarke has no interest in investigating this case, nor exposing any inconsistencies. Has Clarke failed to adequately investigate or prepare for Jared Lee Loughner’s trial? Why would Jared take a plea when all the evidence points to a well-prepared and premeditated PSYOP, which used Loughner as a patsy scapegoat? It appears Loughner will be pleading guilty after months of sitting in a federal psychiatric ward begging the court system to stop forcibly medicating him.

    Ward 6 Staff Ward 6 – Newsletter FEBRUARY 16, 2012 Steve Kozachik A Message from Steve Council Member Poppy update Last week, I conjectured that the heavy winter rains had been good for the Poppy Crop north of Tucson. In the Sunday Arizona Daily Star, this article appeared – con- firming my speculation. So, the speculation is over. This should lend some level of understanding to what we see legislatively coming from north of us. It’s nice to be affirmed. Poppies popping up early here Ann Charles Doug Kreutz Arizona Daily Star Mexican gold poppies - a favorite of many wildflower fanciers - are bursting into early bloom around Tucson. Hikers spotted poppies aplenty last week along the David Yetman Trail in the Tuc- son Mountains. The species' brilliant blooms brightened other parts of the range as well - including the Gates Pass area. Russ Buhrow, curator of plants at Tohono Chul Park, reported seeing poppies near Teresa Smith Catalina and also around Redington Pass east of Tucson. Others, including scientist and hiker Bill Peachey, have found the golden blooms along the Ventana Canyon Trail in the Catalina Mountains north of Tucson. The early appearance of poppies , which typically hit the peak of their bloom near the end of March, marks a sort of second wave of this year's unusual winter bloom. Other species, including brittlebush and globe mallow, earlier began flowering at Saguaro National Park East and elsewhere. Bonnie Medler Buhrow said more rain could help sustain the bloom well into March. Contact reporter Doug Kreutz at [email protected] or at 573-4192.
