TACOMA CABAL: RUSTON HYDRA

Ruston Town Council meeting 4-21-08.

The HYDRA: monster with nine heads; when struck off each head was replaced by two new ones.
The CABAL: monster with nine heads terrifying Ruston and dragging it down to oblivion.

It was said the Hydra could drag down a ship with its huge tentacles. Unfortunately, Ruston is enclosed in the tentacles of the Cabal through a series of lawsuits and misguided misadventures. Nine heads but each controls the other eight leading to many misadventures, many paths but all lead to bankruptcy, disaster for Ruston.

This blog will only concern itself with public comments, council time.

Item one: public comment 31 minutes long and put on the council agenda as item nine, but because of its support by the Cabal in its enduring guerilla campaign against the COMMENCEMENT was moved to number one. It is interesting public comment for the "caged animals" are limited to two minutes at end of meeting time allowing; public comment supporting Cabal vendettas are put on the agenda and given unlimited time. Are you listening ACLU?

Item two: during PUBLIC COMMENTS Dan Albertson erupted into a blistering attack on a public citizen whose position he disagreed with, this following another unprovoked attack on the same person, different subject, by another Cabal member at a public invited open house.

Albertson's comment was an attack on FREEDOM OF SPEECH; use council time Dan, you get unlimited time, we only get two minutes each person, twenty minutes total.. The first attack was a fit of paranoia over a matter that NEVER HAPPENED. Is the Cabal weirding out over there lack of control over ongoing events? Rule or ruin comes into play here.

Over there vaunted "caged animals, who have lost power" diatribe aimed at the Ruston public citizens, there appears to be a bit of myopia involved here. I will summarize: some CABAL POWER TRIPS that misfired:

COMMENCEMENT
SEPA
MERGING INTO TACOMA
CLOSING ALL BUSINESSES IN RUSTON
DISSOLVING FIRE DEPARTMENT
STATE PATROL INVESTIGATION
STACK HILL
UNICORN
BALLET LAWSUIT
FIRING POLICE CHIEF
POINT DEFIANCE CASINO

Although they have been stymied on these, PEOPLE POWER, all are ongoing except the State Patrol investigation; they don't forgive, they don't forget, ever.

Item three: and most ominous, failing in all efforts to get the Point Defiance Casino to take down their welcome sign they apparently will use the taxing power of the town of Ruston to TAX THEM OUT OF EXISTENCE. Income from the Casino to Ruston each year $70, 000.00 more or less. The courts have long held that the power to tax cannot be used to destroy, but as the Town lawyer pointed out she is not able to give advice when town business is conducted at so-called STUDY SESSIONS or in PRIVATE HOMES. Wonder why her last day is May 30th?

Let's go back before the last election Dan Albertson and Bradley Huson, as private citizens, show up at the Point Defiance Casino and threaten to close them down if they do not take down there sign. Wow, lot of bravado for two individuals acting individually on there own. Or were they? Was this a planned Cabal action, a conspiracy?

Next, YOU WIN, YOU LOSE! The Point Defiance Casino recently settled a lawsuit against a prominent member of the Cabal and the Cabal mouthpiece: The Ruston Connection, read it here first! Payback time baby, don't mess with Texas! This announcement by Bradley Huson barely a week after the lawsuit was settled that the town needing money would increase the tax rate on the Casino from four percent to twenty percent came as a blockbuster, after public comments. They will vote on it next council meeting May 5th no public comment allowed.

According to lion tamer Bradley the Town needs money to keep operating until Point Ruston kicks in. Whoa, didn't the previous Cabal council stonewall Point Ruston for two years forcing them to build in Tacoma? Each of the above CABAL POWER TRIPS has or is or will cost the town SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF CASH. MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN CASH looks very likely when and if all are resolved. I guess if you are a POWER TRIPPER, seventy thousand a year income from the POINT DEFIANCE CASINO looks like small change.

That is, compared to losses to date and settling existing lawsuits and lawsuits in the pipeline. RUSTON, the SHANGRI-LA for lawyers. Hope the risk insurance doesn't walk out the door too. We had better hope not, the Town of Ruston, couldn't begin to cover these losses. We should also be thankful for Mike Cohen's forbearance on the ping pong game they played with STACK HILL. The statute of limitations has not run out yet though.

For the next blog I will try to determine costs to date and future estimated costs for all the Cabal misadventures.

FROM THE FRONT ROW, allrighty then, git 'r done.
