Editor’s Notes: How Illegal Gambling Helped Fund Law and Order in Lewis County – Centralia Chronicle

Posted: May 20, 2017 at 7:24 am

Crime most often comes at a cost to taxpayers.

From the act itself, which can rob someone of everything from property to their very life, to the incarceration that follows, which is paid for by taxpayers, illegal actions carry financial consequences for the public.

Thats one interesting element in the arrest of Ron Elhi, a former Chehalis man who avoided authorities for nearly a decade after skipping town in the wake of an investigation into a multimillion dollar gambling operation.

Alas, time ran out for Elhi, who was nabbed at the Nicaraguan border and shipped to the United States to be held accountable in Lewis County Superior Court.

The Washington State Gambling Commission seized about $4.8 million from banks associated with the illegal online gambling operation. Per the letter of the law, a cut of that sum went to the Lewis County Prosecutors Office and the Chehalis Police Department, both of which had assisted in the investigation.

I was very surprised to see them come walking in with a check, former Lewis County Prosecutor Michael Golden told me back in 2010.

The police department and the prosecutors office each received more than $600,000 to put toward combatting fraud and enforcing the law.

It might be a rare case where crime does pay, fortunately not for the criminal in this case.

Interestingly, the man who hid from authorities for nearly a decade was released on $10,000 unsecured bail this week. Im guessing prosecutors have some sort of assurance Im unaware of he wont flee, because I cant think of a greater flight risk than a man who once had access to millions of dollars and was arrested after years hiding in a foreign country.

I dont think hes a violent guy, Deputy Prosecutor Brad Meagher said this week. He doesnt have a passport he cant go anywhere.

When someone asks if I played sports in high school, Ill immediately note that I received All League honorable mention for my prowess at the plate as a member of the Forks High School baseball team.

I may or may not mention the fact that it was for the position of designated hitter as I was a less than adequate (terrible, actually) fielder, and I certainly wont let it slip that there were only two designated hitters in the entire league (the other made the All League team and was not simply honorably mentioned).

A skilled athlete, I was not.

That embarrassing bit of personal trivia is a segue into inviting all who have interest in local prep athletics to the first Athletes of the Year awards at 7 p.m., Tuesday, at the brand spanking new TransAlta Commons on the Centralia College campus. The Chronicle and its burgeoning prep sports website LewisCountySports.com are hosting the event, which is meant to act as additional recognition for student athletes in the greater Lewis County area.

Coverage of youth athletics is a point of pride in our newsroom. We dedicate more people and resources to prep sports than any newspaper our size in the region.

We dont make it to all the games, but we try to be calculated and fair when it comes to deciding where we send our reporters and photographers each day.

Im not aware of another local newspaper that will use the entire front page to celebrate a state championship, pushing all the news of the day to the inside of the edition to allow local youths to shine on the most prime real estate each edition has to offer.

The Athletes of the Year awards are meant to be an expansion of our existing dedication to covering the successes of hard-working area youths.

If you cant make it, no worries. Well have a special section announcing the finalists and winners for the awards in Thursdays edition of The Chronicle.

UK star surgeon backs euthanasia despite danger of elder abuse – BioEdge

Posted: at 7:24 am

A renowned British neurosurgeon has strongly backed euthanasia and assisted suicide in the second volume of his memoirs, even if there is collateral damage. Henry Marsh has just published Admissions: A Life in Brain Surgery. Mr Marsh (surgeons in the UK are called Mister rather than Doctor) was famous for operating on the brain with only a local anaesthetic to minimize damage to neural structures. A talented writer as well, he is well-known in the media.

He told the London Times in an interview about his latest book that he was exasperated by opposition to liberalising end-of-life legislation and described it as grotesque.

One of the most powerful arguments in the armoury of opponents of euthanasia is fear of elder abuse, that vulnerable older people will be made to feel that death is obligation for them. Mr Marsh pooh-poohs this notion.

"They argue that grannies will be made to commit suicide," he said. "Even if a few grannies get bullied into it, isn't that the price worth praying for all the people who could die with dignity?"

Ontario, Canada Euthanasia Tyranny Against MDs | National Review – National Review

Posted: at 7:24 am

Ontario, Canada has passed a law formally legalizing lethal injection euthanasia. And it will force all provincial doctors to be complicit by either doing the deed themselves to all legally qualified patients who request to be killed, or by tasking them with procuring a death doctor. From the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care Website (my emphasis):

In Ontario, health regulatory colleges are responsible for regulating their respective professions in the public interest. In doing so, colleges may establish policies and standards that their members must comply with, including policies and standards regarding medical assistance in dying.

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontariorequires that when physicians are unwilling to provide certain elements of care for reasons of conscience or religion, an effective referral to another health-care provider must be provided to the patient. An effective referral means a referral made in good faith, to a non-objecting, available, and accessible physician, other health-care professional, or agency.

Think about this. Three years ago, it would have been a felony fordoctors tokill patients, potentially landing them in prison.

Now, refusing to participate in homicide could cost them their medical licenses.

The question I am often asked is, Why?Why force a doctor to participate in killing against her moral or religious beliefs when a patient wanting to be lethally injected could easily find a death doctor through a pro-euthanasia organization or a list of willing MDs published by the governmentas has been established in other provinces.

Heres what I think:

First, adoctor refusing to kill sends a powerful message that the act is wrong morally and medically. That message must be silenced.

Second, medicine is being weaponized as a means of turningculture away from the core principles ofintrinsic human dignity and the equality/sanctity of life,into a society more focused on radical and atomistic individualism and utilitarian outcomes.

Third, compulsory euthanasia complicity marginalizes the influence of religion in society and strengthens secularism.

Fourth, this is a splendid way to cleanseorthodox religious believers, Hippocratic Oath-acceptingdoctors, andpro-lifers from the health professionsand dissuadethose holding suchbeliefs from becoming physicians, nurses, and pharmacists.

I am sure there are other forces at work. But this much I know: Conscripting doctors to be homicide facilitators as a condition of practicing medicine is tyranny.

Euthanasia ‘creates toxic and deadly pathologies’ that hurt the weakest, says Cardinal Mller – Catholic Herald Online

Posted: at 7:24 am

The Vatican's chief of doctrine urged pro-life Canadians to continue the fight

The Vaticans doctrinal chief has told an audience in Canada we shall prevail in opposing legalised euthanasia.

Cardinal Gerhard Mller addressed an audience of bioethicists, theologians, doctors and nurses at Torontos St Michaels Cathedral Basilica on Monday.

The prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith called Canadas turn to legalised euthanasia tragic.

Euthanasia not only constitutes a grave wrong in itself, but its legalisation creates toxic and deadly social pathologies that disproportionately afflict the weakest members of society, Cardinal Mller said.

The cardinal was in Toronto to deliver the keynote address at a Canadian Catholic Bioethics Institute conference dedicated to the conscience rights of health care professionals.

He urged members of the institute to persuade Canadian citizens to take the necessary steps to reverse the dangerous legal error of your Supreme Court and Parliament and, in the meantime, to protect the rights of conscience of health care providers who refuse to take the lives of those that they have sworn to treat and comfort.

Basilian Fr Leo Walsh, who leads the institutes branch at Assumption University in Windsor, Ontario, called the cardinals address dramatically important.

While it is true that those who oppose physician-assisted death have lost the debate up to this point and the law is unlikely to change soon, that does not mean the debate is over, Fr Walsh said.

We dont give up, he said. We have to keep pushing it.

In bringing in Cardinal Mller to argue against legalised euthanasia, the Canadian Catholic Bioethics Institute is tapping a deep well of Catholic thinking and the highest authority on Catholic teaching. In a recent book-length interview, the cardinal argues for a brand of theology that is not satisfied with merely internal Church arguments.

Amid so much irrationality and frivolity, we must seek out the enemy nihilism, agnosticism and scepticism so widespread in our society because of its loss of realism and humanity and, with the help of the riches of the magisterium of the Church, fight it systematically, Cardinal Muller said in The Cardinal Muller Report, a 2016 volume from the US Catholic publisher Ignatius Press.

Everything is reinvented, anything goes. In society, we can only expect the wind that blows us this way and that. In society, we can only seek the comfort of being always on the side of the majority and not that of the brave witness we bear by swimming against the current when we must.

The next step for Canadians who oppose medicalised killing must be to legally protect the conscience rights of doctors who refuse to refer their patients on to Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) assessments, Cardinal Muller said.

No one who trains and takes an oath to care for the sick should be pressed into ending the lives of the very people that they have promised to serve, the cardinal told about 200 people who had gathered at St Michaels Cathedral.

Refusal to engage in euthanasia represents basic fidelity to the very medical art that the physician professes, he said. To compel a doctor to participate in any manner in euthanasia is to force him to cease being a doctor and to betray the very profession to which he has given his life.

Any law that forces a physician to act against what he knows to be the most basic good of the patient the preservation of his very life either directly or indirectly, is unjust.

Police seek identity of dirt bike rider – ABC2 News

Posted: at 7:23 am

BALTIMORE - The buzz sneaks up on you from out of nowhere -- their not cicadas, but dirt bikes.

It's illegal to ride them in the city, but when cameras caught a fleet with a child riding, seemingly, on the handlebars officers say they've had enough.

Baltimore police say riding dirt bikes is nothing new in the city, they've long been a nuisance.

"These off road vehicles, a lot of times, they're stolen and they're not registered. The drivers are very reckless. They're aggressive. They drive in groups and people have been assaulted," Detective Nicole Brown, with the police department, said.

And in this case, a child was put in danger.

"That's concerning. We're worried about the child's safety and we want to know whether or not the parents know what was going on and if not alert them," Brown said.

While some bikes are allowed with proper licensing and registration, police say in the past week, their Dirt Bike Task Force has seized nine bikes -- more than 150 last year alone.

"More often than not, a lot of the dirt bikes that we're encountering in Baltimore city -- they are stolen. So it's in no way a victimless crime," Brown said.

Crimes that in some cases can kill innocent bystanders.

"We've had innocent victims who've been struck and we've had dirt bike riders lose their lives and cause injuries to other people," Brown said.

In addition to reckless driving, the bikes are noisy -- an even bigger issues for people who watch them zip down city streets.

While some may call it Baltimore, others have had enough.

"Just as many people that are accustomed to it, they're a lot of people that are just tired of it. They're tired of the noise, they're tired of being cut off in traffic and they definitely want something done," Brown said.

If you have any information on who the riders are or their bikes, call the dirt bike task force at 443-902-4474.

Native American tribe’s cannabis consultant to face trial – Rapid City Journal

Posted: at 7:23 am

PIERRE | Roughly two years after an American Indian tribe began an ambitious push to open the nation's first marijuana resort in South Dakota, a consultant who helped pursue the stalled venture is heading to trial on drug charges.

Jury selection starts Thursday in the case of Eric Hagen, a consultant who worked with the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe on its operation about 45 miles north of Sioux Falls. Hagen was indicted on state marijuana charges months after the tribe destroyed their crop amid fears of a federal raid.

Here's a look at key information about the trial:

Hagen and fellow consultant Jonathan Hunt, officials with Monarch America, a Colorado-based company in the marijuana industry, were charged last year after assisting the tribe.

The Santee Sioux began a marijuana growing operation after the Justice Department outlined a new policy clearing the way for Indian tribes to grow and sell marijuana under the same conditions as some states that have legalized pot.

State Attorney General Marty Jackley warned against the idea from the outset. The tribe ultimately destroyed its crop in November 2015 after federal officials signaled a potential raid.

Jackley announced charges against Hagen and Hunt about nine months later. Hagen, 34, of Sioux Falls, has pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy to possess, possession and attempted possession of more than 10 pounds of marijuana.

He faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison on both the conspiracy and possession counts and 7 1/2 years on the attempted possession count. Hunt last year pleaded guilty to a drug conspiracy count after agreeing to cooperate with law enforcement.

Court documents say Hunt ordered marijuana seeds from a company in the Netherlands that were shipped surreptitiously to the tribe's office in 2015. Authorities say he and others cultivated the plants at the Flandreau grow facility before they were burned.

The state doesn't have jurisdiction over the tribe. But prosecutors argue that state courts have jurisdiction over non-Native Americans who commit "victimless" crimes in Indian Country, so Hagen can be prosecuted. Hagen's defense has argued that the federal government has jurisdiction.

Hagen's defense against the indictment is that the marijuana belonged to the tribe. Mike Butler, Hagen's attorney, said Jackley doesn't have jurisdiction to charge the tribe, so perhaps the prosecution is "an offshoot of his frustration that he couldn't impose his will on the tribe."

"The tribe voted to enact a law. The tribe paid for this stuff. The tribe ultimately voted to burn it. Not my client," Butler said. "It was the tribe's exclusive possession in this case."

Butler said law enforcement was fully informed and involved from the beginning of the venture. He pledged to appeal if Hagen is convicted.

"This is a one-of-a-kind prosecution," said Tim Purdon, a former U.S. attorney for North Dakota. "That doesn't mean it's a bad one. It's just, this is truly groundbreaking."

When tribal leaders initially touted their plan to open the resort on tribal land in Flandreau, President Anthony Reider said they wanted it to be "an adult playground."

They projected as much as $2 million in monthly profits, with ambitious plans that included a smoking lounge with a nightclub, bar and food service, and eventually an outdoor music venue. They planned to use the money for community services and to provide income to tribal members.

Reider said after the marijuana was burned that federal officials had concerns about whether the tribe could sell marijuana to non-Indians, along with the origin of the seeds used for its crop.

Purdon, now a partner at the Minneapolis law firm Robins Kaplan, said that if Hagen is convicted, it would put a "huge chill on non-Native consultants working with tribes who are interested in exploring medical or adult use cannabis."

Reider this week called the prosecutions of Hagen and Hunt "very unfortunate," saying that the tribe originally reached out to Monarch America about the project.

He said the Santee Sioux have looked into the possibility of growing marijuana again, but said they're waiting for more clarity at the federal level with President Donald Trump's new administration.

The grow facility hasn't been used since the marijuana crop was burned, Reider said.

"It's unfortunate that we were unable to be successful with the project," he said. "We were hoping with the revenues to do a lot of positive things for the tribe and the local community."

Joe Lieberman Is a Civil Libertarian’s Nightmare – The Nation.

Posted: at 7:21 am

The nations top law-enforcement officer shouldnt have flagrant disregard for constitutional protections.

Former senator Joseph Lieberman on Capitol Hill in June 2015. (CQ Roll Call via AP Images)

Any discussion of President Donald Trumps appointment of a new FBI director should start with an acknowledgement that he shouldnt be allowed to do this. Yes, Trump has the statutory authority, but he reportedly tried to secure a loyalty oath from then-Director James Comey and directly asked him to stop investigating former national-security adviser Michael Flynn. Then Trump fired Comey and admitted that when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said, You know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story.

In a rational political system, Trump would have forfeited his standing to choose a new director. Congress should have demanded that Trump, at most, be allowed to pick from a list of names generated by members of the House and Senate judiciary committees, or by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

Instead, Trump will reportedly tap former senator Joe Lieberman for the position. Its an awful choice from any angle. Lieberman works at a law firm that has represented Trump since 2001, which should be an immediate disqualifier, since the FBI will continue to investigate Trumps campaign and potentially obstruction of justice by the president himself.

A politician has never served as FBI director, and breaking that precedent under these circumstances would be particularly egregious. Not only is Lieberman a politician, but hes openly loyal to Trump and the GOP: Lieberman endorsed John McCain in 2008 and introduced Sarah Palin at the Republican National Convention. He showed up at Trump Tower after the 2016 election and has been touting some of Trumps cabinet picks, testifying on behalf of nowEducation Secretary Betsy DeVos at her Senate confirmation hearing.

But Liebermans record on civil liberties is the single most alarming thing about his selection. Throughout his career in the Senate, Lieberman consistently showed a disregard for basic Constitutional protections and ambitiously pursued expansions of the governments ability to surveil and detain Americans without judicial review. He has also advocated investigating news outlets for reporting on classified information, and once defended waterboarding by saying its not like putting burning coals on peoples bodies. Combined with his near-demagogic focus on Islam as a radicalizing force, Lieberman is a wildly bad pick for the nations top law enforcement officer.

In 2010, Lieberman and McCain introduced the Enemy Belligerent Interrogation, Detention and Prosecution Act. Conservatives were up in arms at the time that the Obama administration chose to prosecute Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab in civilian courts for planning a Christmas Day terror attack. The Lieberman/McCain bill would have granted the government power to indefinitely detain terrorism suspects without a trial or even a charge. If the government determined, in an unreviewable process, that someone was an unprivileged enemy belligerent, then the legislation required the suspect be placed in a military tribunal.

At the time, Glenn Greenwald dubbed it probably the single most extremist, tyrannical and dangerous bill introduced in the Senate in the last several decades. The ACLU said the legislation flies in the face of American values and violates this countrys commitment to the rule of law.

Lieberman brushed off any such concerns. In a press conference to introduce the bill, he acknowledged that suspects might be held for years and years without a charge, but said I know that will bethat may bea long time, but thats the nature of this war. Fortunately, the bill never became law.

One year later, Lieberman joined Representative Peter King to hold a grotesque joint hearing purporting to investigate how homegrown Islamic extremists were targeting and even infiltrating the US military. It was part of Kings series of 2011 hearings on domestic terrorism, which Muslim groups and civil libertarians blasted as prejudicial for an excessive and near-exclusive focus on Islam as a radicalizing force. Despite this ongoing criticism, Lieberman agreed to co-chair one such hearing, and in his opening statement declared that our government and especially the Defense Department must recognize who the enemy isnot a vague notion of violent extremism, but violent Islamist extremism specifically.

Earlier this year, Lieberman defended Trumps Muslim ban and said he was glad Trump kept his campaign promise.

Lieberman also worked assiduously to expand the governments surveillance powers. The Lieberman-Collins Cyber Security Act would have eliminated many barriers preventing companies from sharing data on web users with federal law enforcement. The bills vague language permitted companies to share user information with the government without judicial review, and any sort of information could be shared, even if it wasnt related to cybersecurity. The bills language said that as long as information appears to relate to a crime even in the future, companies could give it to the government.

They would allow law enforcement to look for evidence of future crimes, opening the door to a dystopian world where law enforcement evaluates your Internet activity for the potential that you might commit a crime, Senator Ron Wyden warned of substantially similar provisions in a House version of the bill. The Electronic Frontier Foundation said Lieberman-Collins compromises core American civil liberties in the name of detecting and thwarting network attacks. It never became law.

THE STAKES ARE HIGHER NOW THAN EVER. GET THE NATION IN YOUR INBOX.

In 2008, Lieberman voted in favor of Section 702 of the FISA Amendment Act, and for a five-year extension in 2012. This is the provision that the National Security Agency used to justify collection of mass phone calls and e-mails made by American citizens. When the full extent of NSA collection was exposed after Lieberman left the Senate, he defended the program and said, If you weigh the risks of compromising phone records against the enormous benefits, I think youll find it justified.

A Lieberman appointment should also alarm journalists. In 2010, when Wikileaks released a tranche of State Department cables, Lieberman suggested that news outlets that covered the leak should be prosecuted. I certainly believe that WikiLeaks has violated the Espionage Act, but then what about the news organizationsincluding the Timesthat accepted it and distributed it? he said. To me, The New York Times has committed at least an act of bad citizenship, and whether they have committed a crime, I think that bears a very intensive inquiry by the Justice Department.

Trump reportedly quizzed James Comey about the possibility of arresting journalists for reporting on classified material, and based on these 2010 comments, it would appear Lieberman is at least open to the idea.

Throughout his career, Lieberman has demonstrated disrespect for constitutional safeguards and a wide, almost authoritarian deference to the federal governments law-enforcement and military powers. In 2005, Lieberman declared that in matters of war we undermine presidential credibility at our nations peril. What little credibility Trump has left would be badly damaged by selecting Lieberman to head the FBI, though its not terribly surprising Trump likes him so much.

Jennifer Lawrence, Libertarian Feminist? – Reason (blog)

Posted: at 7:21 am

Being Classically Liberal/FacebookActress Jennifer Lawrence is in the news this week for a number of reasons, including her impromptu performance at a Vienna strip club and her stepping out in a $700 Dior T-shirt that proclaims "We Should All Be Feminists." The Daily Mail even devoted a whole article to the shirt, noting that "the 26-year-old actress beamed as she left the set of her film Red Sparrow with her dogand a balloonin tow." But the Mail fails to note the other thing that J-Law was spotted carrying: a book with famed Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises on the back cover.

The Facebook group Being Classically Liberal first noted Lawrence's reading material yesterday, suggesting that perhaps she had picked up the von Mises book Socialism thinking it took a positive view of the subject. Lawrencestar of a slew of recent hit movies, including Joy, The Hunger Games, and American Hustlehas been outspoken in her criticism of conservative politicians (The Daily Beast even deemed her "Hollywood's Next Big Power Liberal").

But some crowdsourced sleuthing revealed that Lawrence's book isn't by von Mises but about him and other Austrian School economists. The bookInvisible Hands: The Making of the Conservative Movement from the New Deal to Reaganwas written by New York University professor Kim Phillips-Fein and looks at the rise of free-market economics in post-New Deal America and the role that businesses played in shaping mid-20th Century conservatism.

"Starting in the mid-1930s, a handful of prominent American businessmen forged alliances with the aim of rescuing Americaand their profit marginsfrom socialism and the 'nanny state,'" says the publisher's blurb for the book. "Long before the 'culture wars' usually associated with the rise of conservative politics, these driven individuals funded think tanks, fought labor unions, and formed organizations to market their views."

So does this mean Lawrence is rethinking the reflexive Hollywood hate for free-market capitalism? It's probably a bit too soon to roll out the libertarian welcome mat just yet; for all we know, Lawrence is reading Invisible Hands as some sort of resistance manual, or doing research for a role in an exciting new film about economic theory. (OK, probably not that last one.) But, hey, you know what they say: Once you go Austrian School...

No? Nobody says that?

Whatever, look, Jennifer Lawrence is holding a book with Ludwig von Mises on it! Happy weekend, y'all.

Cuban Libertarian Party Launched After Arrest of Libertarian Activists – Reason (blog)

Posted: at 7:21 am

The Cuban government probably did not expect to inspire the creation of a dissident political party when it arrested libertarian activists Ubaldo Herrera Hernndez and Manuel Velzquez Visea in February. But a Partido Libertario Cubano - Jose Marti, named after the famed 19th century hero of Cuban independence, did launch itself this month in response to the (Raul) Castro regime's actions.

Partido Libertario Cubano Jose Marti Facebook

According to a report from Zachary Foster, with the Nevada Libertarian Party in America who is in contact with the Cubans, the activists were arrested initially on charges of assault on a state agent, which they insist are falsified and refer merely to refusing to show I.D. when asked by that agent outside the Benjamin Franklin Library, a site opened by libertarian activists in December to distribute libertarian literature.

According to a press release from Foster, the actions that brought on their arrest were actually "exchanging books about free markets and limited governments, which is antithetical to the regime's revolutionary socialist doctrine."

This week, activists of that Party began peppering Havana with poster images of the arrested men and the slogan "Freedom for Ubaldo Herrera Hernndez and Manuel Velzquez Visea, libertarians unjustly imprisoned for defending the ideas of freedom."

In a column in the PanAm Post (English via Google Translate), Nelson Rodriguez Chartrand insists that both men have been abused in custody and reports:

"The Cuban Libertarian Party - Jos Mart , takes full responsibility and pride in the authorship of this peaceful demonstration of freedom, fully aware of the right that we are as human beings to express and express ourselves freely, at the same time as absolutely responsible to the Government of Cuba , For any retaliation that may be brought against any member of our organization, "said its president, Mrs. Caridad Ramrez Utria, moments before carrying out such a peaceful initiative.

Caridad Ramirez Utria, according to the Pan-Am Post report, was "part of the peaceful grouping Ladies in White who fights for the freedom of political prisoners" and was beaten by state police and sent to the hospital last year. from the street.

The Libertarian Party's National Committee in America has condemned the activists' arrest.

Marian Tupy wrote for Reason last year on the lies the Castro regime tells about its accomplishments.
