Aguirre Says State Regulation of Municipal Pension Plans Almost Non-Existent; Calls for Federal Regulation
Response to DB and JV posts: I sure hope you all, along with Aguirre, Frye and Francis get this chaos figured out soon, and come to an agreement that the voters of San Diego can rally behind at the next election to end the era of Davies/U-T totalitarian Mob tyranny before San Diego crashes and burns completely.— February 24, 2008 3:55 a.m.
San Diegans for City Hall Reform pushes more authority for mayor
Response to post #51 & 52: For what it is worth Don and JV, as one of hundreds of thousands of totally screwed San Diego taxpayers I appreciate the investigative work and discussions you are doing on our behalf to expose the depth of malevolent corruption that the Davis/U-T Mob has perpetrated against and threaten the lives and property of every citizen in San Diego with. Since this is Sunday, it is a good day to pray that champions like you, along with Aguirre, Frye, Francis and The Reader will be able to save San Diego from Mob rule in 2008. As you are aware, time is rapidly running out before San Diego reaches a state of chaos that we become “America's Hell on Earth City” as the consequence of the Davies/U-T Mob rule. This era of totalitarian Mob tyranny must end and the rights and quality of life of San Diego citizens restored. Thank you for your dedicated efforts on our behalf.— February 24, 2008 3:16 a.m.
San Diegans for City Hall Reform pushes more authority for mayor
Response to post #47: Let’s see now Don, since The “mob” is responsible for “misappropriation” of taxpayer funds that resulted in grossly inadequate firefighting resources which caused hellaciously excessive deaths and property losses by too many out of control firestorms in 2003 and 2007, wouldn’t causing death and destruction upgrade them to “Mob” status? Further, since they threaten anyone who dares to thwart the Davies Mob’s totalitarian designs I now realize that it is the Davies Mob (formerly known as establishment) that controls the U-T and not the other way around which explains why so many of their editorials look like deranged rants written by a building full of crazed monkeys using PCs that Kittle cuts and pastes together before publishing.— February 23, 2008 12:06 p.m.
San Diegans for City Hall Reform pushes more authority for mayor
Don, this is one of your most important investigative columns ever, one that should be of grave concern requiring immediate action by every citizen in San Diego who still cares about protecting quality of life in San Diego. What you are documenting is the fact that John Davies really is the #1 mob boss in San Diego, that the Davies mob controls all of the newspaper political/editorials and columns like those in the U-T and VOSD, that is to say they control every editor and columnist in San Diego except The Reader editors and columnists. And as you have reported and responded, there can be no doubt that the Davies mob controls puppeticians like Sanders, Dumanis and judges making the Davies mob the root cause of the decline and fall of San Diego by corruption. Thus with your warnings, if San Diegans don't at least vote for Francis to replace puppet-mayor Sanders and keep Aguirre as City Attorney, then San Diego voters will have screwed the future for your X & Y generations readers so completely that the current state of San Diego governments’ moral and political bankruptcy will look like the good old days in comparison.— February 23, 2008 2:52 a.m.
San Diegans for City Hall Reform pushes more authority for mayor
Response to Brash Crash: So I assume the answer to my previous question "Who is the Capo de Capo of the San Diego U-T establishment/mob?" is John Davies. Never heard of him before, but you certainly aimed a searchlight at him. Thanks for your most important expose Don.— February 20, 2008 12:24 p.m.
San Diego future without water
Response to post #48: The truth is that scientific academics have been selling out their integrity to M-I-G money for over half a century, and the consequence today is that they sold out humanity when we needed new discoveries and inventions the most to deal with out of control environmental breakdowns and poverty. The tragedy is that science saved humanity during WWII only to fail humanity today.— February 20, 2008 2:23 a.m.
San Diego's Police State: Blogger Flannery Booted Out of Dumanis Press Conference
Response to post #21: Don, you’ve been talking about the corruption in San Diego forever and a day, San Diego corruption has indeed provided you with a career that never ends. And now proof of the consequences of the U-T Mob (formerly known as establishment) and their puppeticians Golding, Murphy and Sanders causing death and destruction by firestorms is in the international spotlight of infamy. USA Today at least provides warnings to tourists to beware of death and destruction in San Diego as long as the U-T Mob continues to control life and death in San Diego. At least they didn’t put out a contract on Bowman after he told them what must be done after the 2003 firestorms death and destruction, but they completely marginalized him until he was proven tragically correct again with the U-T Mob firestorms of 2007, and the U-T Mob is now exposed internationally at last. It appears that Bowman, Aguirre, Frye and the San Diego Reader are the only champions fighting for the citizens of San Diego because they are constantly attacked by the sycophant press that the U-T Mob controls. The sooner the San Diego Reader replaces the Union-Tribune the better, before the U-T Mob corruption and larceny kills and destroys even more. I can't wait for your column exposing the U-T Mob tomorrow that you mentioned in post #19.— February 19, 2008 12:44 p.m.
San Diego future without water
Response to post #45: As Will and Ariel Durant documented in their Lessons of History series "When a civilization declines, it is through no mystic limitation of a corporate life, but through the failure of its political or intellectual leaders to meet the challenge of change." Except today both our political and intellectual leaders are failing us. When one of the world's leading scientists Tim Barnett at UC's SIO is forced to admit “We were stunned,” humanity is in grave peril indeed.— February 19, 2008 2:25 a.m.
Is Ailing Union-Tribune Crossing News/Advertising Line in the Sand?
Response to post #20: Thank you Don. At this point there appear to be more and superior investigative reporters at The Reader than are left at the U-T.— February 17, 2008 12:44 p.m.
San Diego's Police State: Blogger Flannery Booted Out of Dumanis Press Conference
Response to post #8: QUESTION: Who is the Capo de Capo of the San Diego U-T establishment/mob? Dumanis et al. threats against Pat Flannery are like those of a mob. The mob rubbed out too many San Diegans by letting the 2003 and 2007 firestorms get out of control, and their continuing refusals to provide adequate resources for our fire and policemen/women in Harm's Way is a threat against everyone in San Diego.— February 17, 2008 12:41 p.m.
