Today is arraignment day for Tim Whitmer

sop81_1 — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:26:18 +0000

Rich Rainey has all the scoop on Tim Whitmer’s scheduled court appearance regarding the felony charge that was part of his plea deal with Team Letten. For those catching up Rainey included a short history of the insurance portion of this major political corruption scandal and the story is well worth the read.

I’d like to thank everyone who visited Slabbed.Org

sop81_1 — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:30:36 +0000

Saturday morning I went live on Slabbed.Org and the response was excellent. I also had several Slabbed lifers email me saying I had s-mail coming. I sincerely thank each and every one of you.

With that said I need to describe the goal. The Fox 8 file is around 5,000 pages and copy costs are 70 cents a page. There appears to be lots of gold nuggets buried throughout the court file such as the now infamous letter to Charlie and Vaughn. Something tells me the FBI has been hip to the Nova Scotia ecotourism scene as well, likely dating back several months. I’m proud we’ve been on the cutting edge of this.

If you are sitting out there and like what you’re learning, whether using your I-Pad Chris Roberts style at 5AM, are at a law firm checking in during lunch or at the family desktop after hours you can’t depend on the next guy to tote the whole load. The power of Slabbed derives from the power of community sourcing. With 2,000 plus daily unique visitors if everyone did just a little, Slabbed could get everyone a big time bang for the journalist buck (and fund a big time 1st Amendment lawyer). Please visit Slabbed.Org to find out more.

He’ll likely be remembered here for being a part of the gang that made the Times Picayune eat its own big toe……..

Trout Point Lodge

The Times-Picayune has referenced Trout Point Lodge in some of the stories published in print and online since Jan. 6 regarding an ethics complaint against former Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard claiming that he owns a Nova Scotia vacation lodge that he rented to parish contractors.

The newspaper retracts publication identifying Aaron Broussard as having an ownership interest in Trout Point Lodge; asserting Trout Point Lodge was rented to Jefferson Parish contractors; indicating that Roy D’Aquila has any part in Trout Point Lodge ownership or management; indicating that Kempt Wilderness Lodge Services has any ownership or management relationship with Trout Point Lodge; and identifying a photo of the lodge online as “Broussard-lodge.jpg.” The Times-Picayune apologizes for publishing this material.

Of course we now know that retraction is in fact a falsehood in and of itself when Slabbed broke the letter written by Roy D’Aquila to Trout Point Lodge ordering the Libel Tourists Charles Leary and Vaughn Perret to insure Broussard’s cabin on the Lodge’s main insurance policy, since the “Lot Assessments” were not covering Broussard’s note on the cottage. That revelation came on the heels of the plea deal reached by the government with Aaron Broussard’s ex-wife which indicated that she would be giving up Aaron’s Nova Scotia money train as illustrated on Slabbed. And then the most recent revelation of fluttering butterflies and rumored turmoil inside the law firm of D’Aquila, Volk, Mullins & Contreras.

I mention all this because Slabbed has learned that Roy D’Aquila has passed away. I wish to express the condolences of the Slabbed Nation to his family.

Lets disclose another branch of the Louisiana to Nova Scotia political family as Slabbed welcomes Edwin Edwards crony Carey S Goss to the Trout Point Lodge Party.

sop81_1 — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 19:42:09 +0000

Several days ago it came to my attention that a gentleman named Carey S Goss was one of the land owners at the Trout Point Development. History remembers Goss as an EWE unindicted co-conspirator that is also well-remembered as one of the guys that tried wiretapping FBI agents investigating Edwin Edwards back in the late 1990′s. So along those lines it did not surprise me to see his name listed on the map of the Trout Point Development done by the good people at the SouthCoast Today that is color coded to its ownership. The map is a must see graphic as a picture is indeed worth 1,000 words.

Gulfport lawyer Jim Davis files suit against BP

sop81_1 — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 10:04:34 +0000

And yes folks there are reasons lawyers have such a terrible reputation because some of them are just plain sleazy, especially the TeeVee lawyers. Not all of ‘em are on the Tee Vee though so please allow me to introduce to the Slabbed Nation to Gulfport lawyer Jim Davis and his suit against BP, which he filed after Ken Feinberg at the GCCF turned him down. He has a novel theory of how the spill impacted his law practice:

The Law Office of Jim Davis, primarily a criminal practice, had a substantial client base of individuals with criminal backgrounds who worked offshore on rigs and commercial fishing vessels. Other clients included local residents who worked in seafood processing plants, hospitality and food service, and tourists cited for DUl and other charges while visiting this area. All of these industries and businesses sustained a devastating economic impact by the BP oil spill, and drastically reduced his clients’ ability to pay for legal services, resulting in greatly diminished profits and the lay-offs of one attorney and one secretary.

Now folks lest we gain too much of a reputation for being a plaintiff friendly blog….

Here is some more Charles Leary / Trout Point Lodge Jackassery: Why due process is important to a clean court system

sop81_1 — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 02:34:34 +0000

Here in the US we have an adversarial system of law that guarantees certain due process rights. Sadly this is not the case in Nova Scotia. As proof allow me to offer this uncontested motion filed by Charles Leary on behalf of all the owners at Trout Point Lodge, silent or otherwise in the case against Fox 8 back in late April 2011. Canada, like the US supposedly has an adversarial system of law too but it is missing in Judge Muise’s courtroom as I and 2 Slabbed commenters were robbed of our due process rights by a dishonest plaintiff that lied to the Nova Scotia Supreme Court. You see folks, as a reader pointed out to me this morning, there are two kinds of lies: those of commission and those of omission.

Leary’s 10 page copy and paste of Slabbed, circa February to April 2011, omitted one key element that would have cast the pleading in an entirely new light as I was not anonymous at all dating to May of 2010 when I appeared on Fox 8 in a Val Bracy story about TheRiot’s Jackassery suing the blogosphere. Leary and Perret had been following Slabbed closely since we busted them on the Billy’s Hill Trail Society way back on January 12, 2010. But of course of all the posts we had in April the one that failed to make Leary’s pleading was this one from April 14, 2011, where I announced Slabbed New Media and posted a link to my Mississippi Secretary of State filing. And since Canadian judges evidently make decisions based on what are effectively ex parte motions, the result is an invasion of privacy of gargantuan proportions.

Judge Muise is evidently too dumb to see the blatant inconsistencies in his own court record, but like a pre schooler he colored all over Leary’s motion whittling the time away while acting as if he were actually doing something productive for his community. Muise appears to be a good fit with your typical Mississippi Justice Court Judge.

There is a reason we have the SPEECH Act here in the US. In fact I see the need for additional protections.

Poor Roy D’Aquila got butterflies on his tummy tum tum when he saw Val Bracy’s reports on the Trout Point Development

sop81_1 — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 23:02:46 +0000

Roy D'Aquila

And I verily bet poor ol’ Roy crapped his pants when he saw the other media reports on the Broussard curatorships considering he was telling Charlie and Vaughn, on Broussard’s behalf, to put Riverbend on the Lodge’s main insurance policy. Of course you say that and they will sue.

And this fixation they have with Anne Marie Vandenweghe is unhealthy IMHO. In fact it appears to be the same fixation TheRiot had for AMV considering the Fox 8 case has really been all about trying to get information on blog commenters, whether with the T-P or Slabbed. In the case of Fox 8 the girls want a log of every IP address that visited the story and video on Broussard. I’ll be rolling that out in due course.

They left the one legged crack whore outta the story

sop81_1 — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:18:26 +0000

And it was she that called the cops saying her boyfriend was out of control (and armed) and later it was she that convinced Mike to sue. A bit over a year ago the Seacoast Echo ran a major story about all the alleged abuse of people by the Waveland PD and included this case. They pulled it from their website a very short time later. Everything else in today’s story is 100% dead on accurate. Regarding the head on with a freight train, Mike told me he simply had “lost his zest for life”.

You meet the most unlikely of people when you become an investigative blogger. And while dealing there is certainly less than appealing to an otherwise mild-mannered CPA it has given me a perspective on the people who routinely slip through the cracks of our social net that few of my fellow peeps see. Here is hoping Mike can stay on his meds.

BREAKING: “Cry havoc! And let slip the dogs of war.” Trout Point Lodge obtains orders in a Canadian court for information on US bloggers

sop81_1 — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 20:30:24 +0000

Folks, regarding the defamation case filed by Trout Point Lodge against Fox 8. The girls, with the acquiescence of Fox 8, have obtained court orders from Judge Pierre Muise to Automattic aka WordPress, Cox Communications and AT&T Wireless for information on the following Slabbed commenters:

Telemachus
Unslabbed
Whitmergate

While they have described their relationship with disgraced Parish President Aaron Broussard to the Times Picayune in terms of Broussard being a casual acquaintance, according to Nova Scotia court records the girls describe him as a close friend. IMHO the entire court exercise in Nova Scotia has been to help Aaron Broussard identify those that were speaking out on his corrupt activities and silence them via fear and intimidation.

I am now able to roll outs parts 3 and 4 of my series on Aaron Broussard’s business activities in Nova Scotia including Broussard’s use of his straw men at Trout Point Lodge to obtain personal data on those who posted about his dirty deeds here on Slabbed. At this point, it is unclear if Fox 8 has given away data on those that may have commented to Val Bracy’s stories on the Fox 8 website, but clearly they were content to serve up commenters on other sites without flinching.
