A HIDDEN CULTURE

WE ARE SO HIDDEN, WE (West of the Mississippi) DO
NOT KNOW or forgot WHO WE ARE AND WHO WE ARE NOT!

---

There is very little one can do About those Creoles who are DENYING their
true cultural heritage, "They are in need of a cultural education".
Creoles who recognize their "Cultural Heritage" are proud individuals
with dignity and pride. They support the diversity of the Creole culture
and bask in the glow of their true identity.We are ONE ETHNIC CULTURE
with various diverse ethnic inheritances that have enriched our culture
OVER 10 GENERATIONS. All Creoles of today are educators of our culture.

We
have the awareness through our parents and those that have traveled the
road before us, who have have given us their knowledge of our heritage
and the desire to be Creoles in our everyday lifestyles. With this
knowledge, we hold in our hearts the ability to live our culture
in our daily lives in this fast moving world. I dedicate this study to
YOU
my Creole family. Amen. My hopes and dreams are that our next generation
of Creoles does come into its own by recognizing it's true cultural
heritage and Rewriting the history book around the world. The next
generation needs it's Creole cultural heritage and the "Creole Culture"
needs the next generation to survive as a seperate ethnic race.

The makeup of a true race of
people called Creole. A native race of our Country.

This Chart
is a modern day graphic design which helps to clarify the original makeup
of theCreole People formed out of Louisiana, who exist in today's
America. The Louisiana colonization period shows the existance of FIVE
basic ethnic groups prior to the Civil War in American history. From their
diverse unions a cultural heritage of "Creole" peoples was born in America
and called "Creole-Americans. In the post-Civil War period, to the present
day period there ARE three basic ethnic diversities which are
known as CREOLE-AMERICANS

---

I was working with our Creole community
in Los Angeles, California and the Bayou Talk Newspaper And
I recognized that our Creole Culture has been grossly misunderstood over
the years. It has been misunderstood by Creoles and non-Creoles alike,
adding to the myth and mystery of our Creole People and it's cultural heritage.

---

Growing up in Natchitoches, Louisiana and Los Angeles,
I have experianced both worlds. The world of complete understanding of
who YOU are as a Creole Person, to explaining who you are to
your classmates, and friends in the work force.

---

My sincere wish by writing this article, I can clarify
some of the mystery of who a Creole Person IS, and how our culture has
remained intact for over 10 generations.

---

It's been handed down through the years, that Creoles
are both BLACK and FRENCH in heritage, and as the years went on to other
ethnic groups that came into the BLOODLINE through marriage
and having children out of wedlock. A period of history that no one wants
to admit happened, yet stil exists today crippling our Creole Culture.

---

There are many hidden concepts, Judgements and facts,
along with the desire to be honest and open to who we as Creoles were
in the past and where we are going in the future. In addition to will
our culture to die if we dont wake up from the past and make plans for
the future.

---

We need even more today than ever, a strong a clearly
identified definition of who and what a Creole is for our young people
of today. They only seem to relate to what is printed in the dictionary,
and I am sad to say, Webster was NOT a Creole, therefore
he is not capable of telling us and the billions of others who refer to
his dictionary who or what a Creole IS.

---

Is Black Creole wrong? Is the term Frenchman obsolete?
Is being a White Creole unheard of today? Is Multi-cultural, a term
in the twentieth century, a way to go? How far off is Creole American,
or is it right on as to WHO WE ARE? History shows us that words
get tacked on to ethnic groups and all to often they reflect a negative
connotation of what and who that is. So for "Creoles" who have gone the
full circle of being identified as being a forgotten people who
came from no place to being all black with only an African background as
their dominant historical trait. This to me is:

TOTALLY
DENYING THE TOTAL PERSON AND OUR FRENCH BLOODLINE.

Our heritage is one of the most complex
bloodlines to identify in American history. There are books which identify
names and trace family trees back for generations, but do not tell if an
individule was 100 % Creole. What is 100% or as close to 100% as possible?

Most hospital records in the past have
been destroyed. Birth certificates of my parents and my grandparents
that we can find have the letter "C"printed
in the space marked race. Did the "C"
mean colored with the connotation of colored being Afro-American.
What we do know is the letter "C"
as an abbreviation for colored was a convenient term for the people who
were filling out the birth certificates to suit their need to keep the
forgotten people forgotten. They also passed laws to backup and cover
up their lack of documentation.

LET
US EXPLORE THE TERM OR POSSIBILITY OF HAVING A "BLACK BLOODLINE"

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH (90% of the Creole
people are Catholic) and other churches were commissioned by the President
and Congress in the 1800's to record the births and deaths pf their parishes
to keep records straight. But, one must realize that in the south, the
Catholic Church and others were prejudiced with a racial attitude to
keep everyone in his or her own place, adding to the mentality of there
only being a black and white world. The recording of such information was
done in the French language and was handwritten prior to the Civil War
in 1861. Most slaves and other free people of color were forgotten and
misplaced in the confusion of the times.

---

According to our history books, black slaves came to Louisiana
in several ways. Some of them by their own free will, by former wealthy
landowners relocating their households and farm workers. The most focused
on is the taking of African people against their free will and turning
them into slaves and shipping them to Louisiana in large numbers.

---

The children born from African woman were considered as BLACK,
no matter who and what race the father was. When I explored the Louisiana
laws prior to the Civil War, I discovered that Chapter III, Section II
of "The Acknowledgement of Illegitimate Children, Article 220 and states
that:

---

ARTICLE 220.---

"Illegimate children who have been acknowledged
by their father, are called NATURAL CHILDREN; and those
whose fathers is unknown, are contra-distingushed by the appellation of
"BASTARDS."

---

ARTICLE 221.--- "The acknowledgement of an illegimate
child shall be made by a declaration exeucted before a notary public, in
presence of two witnesses, when ever it shall not have been made in the
regestering of the birth or the or baptism of such child." "No other proof
of acknowledgement shall be admitted in favor of children of color."

---

In ARTICLE 220, *Note the word "BASTARDS" and the NEGITIVE
connotation it has.

---

ARTICLE 221.--- States that two witnesses and a notery
public are needed to claim acknowledgement of an illegitmate child, with
an added clause, "No other proof of acknowledgement shall be admitted in
favor of children of color."

---

There are twelve such articles in this section that have such
wording to project negativeness and oppression. It is obvious that the
articles were writen in such a style, to hide what was known in the 1800's
as a social embarrassment to city society.

---

May I bring to your attention here, that ALL CREOLES ARE
NOT from so-called illegimate children or non-married unions, in fact
it's the opposit. However more attention in the books printed prior to
the 1990's focus on this issue, thus forcing Creoles to continue to hide
in fear of social enbarrassment.

---

IN ARTICLE 226.--- it explanes how a free illegitimate child
of color may prove their descent from a father of color only. Followed
by ARTICLE 227--- in support of ARTICLE 226. Giving further ways for illegitmate
children to be recognized by their paternal parents.

---

After the Civil War in 1861 to 1865 the laws were revised in
the revised statute laws of the state of Louisiana from the organization
of the terrritory to the year 1869 inclusive, printed in 1870.

---

The book section on births and deaths bestowed the responsibility
to record such records to the PARISH CHURCHES. In section 338 and
341 on births states:

SECTION. 338--- It shall be the DUTY of
all the PARISH recorders of this State to RECORD ALL BIRTHS IN A BOOK bound
and kept for that purpose, in the order of their dates."

---

SECTION. 341--- "The said records shall contain the day, hour
and place of birth, the sex of the child, the first name or names of the
witnesses."

THUS ENDING THE ERA OF ILLEGIMATE
CHILDREN

---

The present day Louisiana
Law writen in 1970, ACT No. 46, House Bill No. 211 was carefully writen
with
the focus on color clarification, but it's primary purpose was to clarify
"WHO
A WHITE PERSON IS"... It reads as follows:

ACT. No. 46

House Bill No. 211 - By Messrs. Bickford and
Cefalu and Senators Mouton and Stweart. AN ACT

To define "colored" "Mulatto" "Black"
"Negro" "Griffe" "Afro-American" "quadroon" "Mestizo" "colored person and
"person of color" when such terms are used to signify the race of a person
by ANY public official in the State of Louisiana; Be it enacted
by the Legslature of Louisiana;

SECTION 1. In signifying race, a person
having
one thirty second or less of Negro Blood shall not be deemed,
described or designated by any public official in the State of Louisiana
as "colored", a "mulato, "a black", "a negro", "a griffe", "an Afro-American",
"a quadroon," "a mesitzo", "a colored person" or a "person of color."

---

SECTION 2. All laws or parts of laws in conflict herewith
are hereby repealed.

..............Approved by the Gov: June
18, 1970..............

A true Copy By: The Honorable
WADE O. MARTIN, JR.

Secretary of the Great State of Louisiana.

Long before the Civil War at the time
when Louisiana was undergoing colonization, there was a strong sence
of of family bonding of "Creoles" with the strength and courage of
belonging together. In addition to the formulation of the colony of "Creole",
people of the land were also forming a civilization of Free People
Taking their knowledge and skills and binding them together to form a Culture.
It was these skills, arts ect. of a given people, in a given period of
time, growing in number and wisdom and having a mutual bonding desire to
be a family that form into Creoles. The word "Creole" is an adjective
which is said to have come from the Spaniards meaning home grown"
or NOT IMPORTED. Most often used first to describe vegetables which were
home grown. The word became quite popular with early Creole settlers as
they used the word to refer to home grown plants, flowers and annuals,
an indefinable term of their own worth. It was the colonial formation of
the Louisiana land that the word "Creole was given to the people BORN
FROM THE LAND IN AMERICA with mixed ancestry. Perhaps at that time
the proper term for our people should have been Colonial Creoles
for they were the first to start the new cultural heritage.

---

...............IN
SPITE OF BEING FORCED TO BE CONDITIONED BY A SOCIETY WITH PREJUDICE,

"CREOLES"
REMAINED IN TACT WITH STRONG FAMILY TIES TO THEIR FRENCH FOREBARERS

---

They
retained thier French dominate characteristics and physicial traits.

Let
us explore the physicial qualities of MOST Creole in America.

FRENCH
CREOLE:

A person who can trace his family bloodline
to a Direct descendent of French settlers who settled in Louisiana
during the colonial period of French and American History.

French Creole physical traits:

Fair to tan skin pigmentation. Naturally
straight to wavy hair, a synthetic look, without the use of synthetic products.
Light brown or hazel eyes within the family genealolgical lines. High
cheek bones, predominantly French with some ancestral traits of other
races.

BLACK CREOLE:

A person who can trace his family bloodline
to a direct descendent of the Africans who setteled in Louisiana
during the colonial period of African-American history. Black Creole
physical traits:

Dark eyes. Has predominantly African ancestral
physical traits.

To assume all light skin blacks are
Creole or that all Creoles are black is just a myth. While the first
recorded Creoles in America had a mixture of ethnically French and African
traits..

WHITE
CREOLE:

A person that can trace his family bloodline
to
Creole and
Italian and Indian decendent of the
colonial Creole period prior to the American Civil War period in American
history.

White Creole physical traits:

Most white Creoles have very fair skin
pigmintation. Natuarlly blond hair, hazel eyes, (some have blue eyes) and
dark brown eyes. In today's world White Creoles exist in a White/Creole
marriage union.

INDIAN
CREOLE:

A person that can trace his family bloodline
to a Creole decendant of the Colonial Creole period, and the American Indian
in American history. Most Indian Creole have similer physical traites
to the French Creole with very little distinction.

SPANIARD
CREOLE:

Spaniard Creoles are for the most part
NON-EXISTENT today, due to the strong French , Indian, and Afro/American
and White influence of the Creole community.

Over the years more predominantly
French traits have dominated the geneaology of the Creole cultural heritage
or ( or Creole person ). This leads us to say that more French Creole's
married other French Creoles thus making the French bloodline a stronger
one. As stated in the book of "Ediquette", which society looks upon
for it's code od ethics, the traits of the male are considered as dominant
in the Male/Female union. Many of the French and Louisiana laws prior to
the Civil War were based on this principal. If in the union of the French
male and a female of another race, the dominant bloodline of the female

would not be of the females
race.

All
Creoles are Brothers and Sisters to eachother.

It makes no difference if your
family was French Creole in the early years and is now black Creole or
your family began as Afro-American and later married French Creole or white
Creoles, the main point is that you are a part of the Creole Cultural heritage
originating from the main line of Colonial Creloes that came from Louisiana
It's a proud Creole Race of people.

Creoles are among a rich
cultural heritage of people, nomatter what label or how they classify themselves;
French Creole, Afo-American Creole, White Creole or Indian-American Creole.
You
are a part od the fabric of our Creole heritage. AMERICA and the
WORLD needs to wake up and except us as a seperate ethnic race.
WE ARE NOT AFRICAN AMERICAN'S but some of us are Afro-American CREOLE
Born from the Louisiana soil, mixed with a vibrant American tradition
fo the love of OUR LAND and each other. A very cultural people.

In speaking with Creoles
in our community, it was taught to them by their parents who they are and
who their ancestors were. Their parents had the desire to want to know
about their history, culture and ethnic heritage.

OUR
PARENTS WERE GLOBAL CITIZENS.

As Creole Americans from different
parts of the United States, they gave thier children a sense of direction
in their lives. With this foundation, young Creloes would dream of their
future. They had a direct commitment to family life and family love.
Even with the struggles of the 60's when racial tentions were high,
Creoles survived and continued to move forward realizing that without
struggle, there would be no progress.

A large percentage of Creole
children are listed in
Catholic Schools across America. Ypoung Creole
man and women are attending colleges and universities as their parents
have. Carying on a tradition of theor higher education being the key to
success. We are a success oriented people, who have the ability and foundation
to survive and profit in the world.

You probibly have read in
the "Bayou Talk" newspaper over the past few years, a large number of Creoles
are successful in the professional work force. Enterpreneurs and corporate
executives alike are enjoying the fruits of their education.

There is a large group of
Creoles across America who have entered the political arena. California
Assemblyman Curtis R. Tucker Jr, Los Angeles Councilman Robert Farrell
amd New Orleans Mayer Sidney J. Barthelmy.

We are not without hierarchy
in the Roman Catholic Church Auxiliary Bishop of Los Angeles, San
Pedro Regional Biship Carl A. Fisher, S.S.J. His Most Reverend Biship Joseph
Frances, S.V.D. of New Jersey. Higher educators: Father Joseph Donald Simon,
S.V.D, a seminary principal. George McKenna , Director of the Inglewood
Unified School District, Doctor Norman Frances, Director of Xavier University,
New Orleans, Louisiana.

MUSCIAINS have
carried the Creole Zydeco musicial heritage to new heights with
Grammy Award Winner "Queen Ida" and her brother "Al Rapone"
, Emmy nominated
"T. Lou", "Joseph L. Eaglin", "Wilfred
LaTour" French accordian player who was awarded by the French Music
Association.

LARGE
NUMBER OF CREOLES

Is noted in the book The
forgotten People that the children of Claude Thomas Pierre Metoyer
and Marie Thereze Coincoin, married people of other French families which
introduced into the colony a particular French or French Indian origin
rather than just French-African origins. As the colony grew, more French
married French, moving away from the African origin. It wasn't until
the 1900's that French Creoles out of the Cane River colony began to marry
Afro-Americans predomininantly in the New Orleans area or out of the State
of Louisiana. To this date, French Creoles are predominantly on the Cane
River area, Nachitoches, Cloutieville Camptiinside Louisiana. California
has an equally large number of French Creoles with an equal number of Afro-American
Creoles. It's said to be the largest constituency of Creoles outside
of Louisiana.

"Crippling
Our Culture"

As I spoke with the Creoles
in today's society, they have two mixed views on the future of the Creole
society.
"Creole-to Creole" Marriages are fewer in our society.
There are more mixed ethnic marriages with spouses of French Creole or
Black Creole origin marrying other ethnics of what is considered full,
White, Afro-American, Spanish, or others. These marriages will produce
children of mixed Creole origin.

The most crippling source
to the TRUE Creole heritage are teenagers and single women and men
producing offsprings from a non-married union of mixed ethnic origin.
National ststistics from the late 1980's showed this mixed ethnic origin
is high among all social ethnic groups. We Creoles do not face this social
burden alone. We can trace our roots BUT are WE going to be able to
trace our roots in the next century?. It is TIME to WAKE UP!

WE ARE CREOLE AMERICAN
NOT AFRICAN AMERICAN

Education is one of the
on going processes that can cause a long term effect in saving our cultural
heritage. As parents, we bear the responsibility to be educated in our
own culture, and to pass along our knowledge to the future generations
of Creoles. Creole parents that are near the age of 40 are about to become
grandparents to the future Creoles of America.

Corrupt Lonoke Police Chief's Conviction Reversed

Publisher's note: Our particular interest in this story stems from the fact that the Prosecutors Office adopted our legal positions regarding the Jim Crow controlled Pulaski County Sheriff's Office & Pulaski County Special School District. This has to do with Arkansas & Federal Racketeering laws: R.I.C.O.. We proudly take credit.

Little Rock - The Arkansas Supreme Court has reversed the corruption conviction of former Lonoke police chief Ronald Jay Campbell, saying a lower court improperly allowed testimony about his wife's sexual conduct and that prosecutors didn't provide sufficient evidence of a continuing criminal enterprise.

Campbell and his wife were convicted in 2007. Campbell was sentenced to 40 years and his wife Kelly was sentenced to 20 years. She was acquitted at trial on a charge that she took part in a criminal organization with her husband and others.


In their decision Thursday, justices said no witness said Campbell headed a criminal enterprise and that circumstantial evidence was insufficient. They also said allegations that Campbell's wife had sex with inmates had nothing to do with charges against her husband

Why Do American Creole Indians Claim Arkansas As Creole Land?

Napoleon Bonaparte, upon completion of the agreement, stated, "This accession of territory affirms forever the power of the United States, and I have given England a maritime rival who sooner or later will humble her pride."

Inscription:

This stone marks the base established Nov.10,1815 from which the lands of the Louisiana Purchase were surveyed by the United States Engineers. The first survey from this point was made to satisfy the claims of the soldiers of the war of 1812 with land boundries.

Erected 1926 by Arkansas Daughters of the American Revolution.

In 2005 , the Great State of Arkansas officially recognized the American Creole Indian Nation, by way of the Arkansas Department of Education as a "Protected Ethnic Class", ethnically unique unto themselves & their unique historic culture that pre-dates USA acquisition.



If you lived in Little Rock, Arkansas USA and followed Baseline Rd. to Monroe, Arkansas USA this obscure marker located in Monroe, Arkansas, USA (Arkansas State Park) is a place of great mourning to the American Creole Indian.







This obscure marker in The Great Creole Indian Territory of Monroe, Arkansas, USA represents the beginning of the end of the official territorial existence of my people as recognized by the Federal United States Government, in violation of it's own LPT 1803 Treaty.





Louisiana Purchase State Park



Are you interested in the history of the Louisiana Purchase? This National Historic Landmark at the junction of Lee, Monroe and Phillips counties preserves the initial point from which all surveys of the property acquired through the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 initiated. That year, President Thomas Jefferson purchased the vast territory of Louisiana from France for $15 million. The unmapped wilderness of approximately 900,000 square miles doubled the size of the fledgling nation and helped shape the destiny of the United States.



Twelve years later, President James Madison ordered an official survey of the purchase area, a survey that began in what is now Arkansas and led to the settlement of the American West.

The initial point was the first surveyor mark in the monumental task of surveying the entire Louisiana Territory, the vast territory including the present Arkansas and 12 other states, an area stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada.

On October 27, 1815, a survey party headed north from the confluence of the Arkansas and Mississippi rivers to establish a north-south line to be known as the Fifth Principal Meridian. The same day, a party departed westward from the junction of the St. Francis River and the Mississippi to establish an east-west line, known as a baseline. The crossing of the two lines would be this initial point from which future surveys would originate.



Both meridian and the baseline would later be extended, and land surveys for all or parts of the Louisiana Purchase states west of the Mississippi would subsequently be measured from this initial point in eastern Arkansas. From this point emanated the surveys for Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota and part of South Dakota.



To see the granite monument that marks the site of the initial point, you'll walk along an elevated boardwalk above the headwater swamp in which the monument is located. The L’Anguille Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution in Marianna placed the marker at the initial point in 1926 following the discovery by two surveyors, in 1921, of the gum trees that were marked by the initial surveyors back in 1815. That discovery focused attention on the site located at the junction of Lee, Monroe and Phillips counties in a headwater swamp in the Little Cypress Creek watershed that had gone unheralded for more than a century. The Arkansas General Assembly passed legislation in 1961 designating the area an Arkansas state park.



As you walk along the boardwalk, you'll experience the captivating beauty and natural sounds of the surrounding swamp. Along the boardwalk, interpretive wayside exhibits tell about the Louisiana Purchase and describe the flora and fauna of the swamp. This headwater swamp is representative of the swamplands that were common in eastern Arkansas before the vast bottomlands were drained and cleared for farming and commercial purposes.



Louisiana Purchase State Park is located south of Brinkley. From I-40 at Brinkley, take U.S. 49 and travel 21 miles south, then go two miles east on Ark. 362 to the park.



The park is open from 6 a.m. until 9 p.m. daily.

Corruption In The Little Rock River Market: Pervasive & Unchecked

There is an accused arsonist sitting in the Pulaski County Jail. He has been cooling his heels there since February 14th of this year. Shannon Light, manager of the Little Rock Farmer's Market & so forth, claim that he was a city employee, seeking revenge when Jackson Sheard of Little Rock set Damon Hoffman, part-time corrupt employee & head peon of the River Markets office on fire to cover up an act of theft once he learned that he was caught by the cameras.





One Question. Who has ever heard of a City Employee NOT listed on payroll? How did he get paid for these four years, and why was he ever allowed full access to city property and funds without oversight? This question and much more will soon be discussed on this corruption blog, stay tuned.





I have given this city fair notice, by way of Bruce Moore that I will be covering this story & my motivation behind it.

This Little Rock River Market is questionably controlled by a narrow group of NON-minority individuals that use so-called authority over tax-payer property for their very narrow and questionable purposes. One of these individuals in the perjuring Brian Day, assistant City Manager caught lying on the witness stand in open court.

DEAL WITH THIS LITTLE ROCK, 'cus I sure am. OBSTRUCTION OF COMMERCE IS A FEDERAL CRIME, drag your feet, pay the piper. That simple.

____________________________________________

UPDATE!! THE CORRUPT CHICKENS HAVE COME HOME TO ROOST, TUNE IN TO THIS CORRUPTION BLOG TO FIND OUT WHY SHANNON LIGHT WILL BE FACING CRIMINAL CHARGES & IF I HAVE IT MY WAY, THE REST OF HER DIRTY GOOD'OL BOY, JIM CROW RIVERMARKET AXIS OF EVIL WILL BE FACING RICO CHARGES AS WELL.

OH, I GOT THE DETAILS. OVER $100,000 IN MISAPPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. WHAT A CRIMINAL!! TUNE IN OR BE LAST WITH THE DETAILS!

Now we know why the River Market ain't makin' any money. The dirty thief (Shannon Light) has been givin' tax cash to her friends, while she has been spitting and mocking Creoles for four years with her criminal obstruction to access.

WE WILL NOT LET THIS GO. If you don't prosecute this scumbag thief, like you did the arsonist drug addict, Jackson Sheard and buried his black ass in prison, the Justice Dept. will. Paid under the table by the forgering Shannon Light, that one. She also forged a fake city payroll stub for him so he could buy a car.

That's not all!! She had the damn nerve to buy kitchen equipment with City Funds for her friends, while making sure that Creoles NEVER gained access to the River Market in spite complaints for FOUR YEARS, to appease her Drunk-Serving Friend at the Cheesy piano bar Willy D's, Carla Cox.

Carla is married to a dirty cop that works in the River Market- Shannon Dewayne Cox. A blatent conflict of interest, much more on this interesting and corruption-filled tidbit soon (very soon)

-That's an American Creole Indian Promise.

So much more to come, things like demanding that the city of Little Rock release the Rivermarket Jailhouse Brutality Video NOW!

This video involves Officer Shannon Dewayne Cox & the Rivermarket's most recent quota hire Officer Van Thomas.

Little Rock Police Officer Arrested On Duty

(UPDATE) Officer Parker has been fired from the City of Little Rock Police Department.

At about 3pm January 26, 2009, Officer Jamie Parker received the surprise of her life when she showed up for work that day. According to confidential sources, she was informed that she is wanted by the Cabot Police Department for Hot Checks(*contested) and driving with a suspended license. It was also indicated that Little Rock Police Department issued her an additional ticket for driving with a suspended license also, once being informed that they had a criminal officer driving a city cop car around town giving other people tickets. ACIC caught her LRPD DID NOT. In fact, she is a decorated officer on the force, there are records of awards she has received.

I attempted to acquire a comment on this issue as well as a few others that I fully intend to publish in an ongoing investigatory series called: DIRTY DEALINGS IN LITTLE ROCK, exposing corruption in local and state government. Needless to say, I was directed to Public Affairs to have a chat with them, "the matter is still under investigation".

Though this high ranking member of the LRPD Administration was rather mum on this particular issue, This individual did express some displeasure regarding the "leaking lips" within the department, prior to the matter being fully vetted. More to come on this particular story, moving on.

There are several reasons why I have chosen to publish this particular article at this particular time. One of which simply is, I am tired as hell of this blatant in-your-face Jim Crow style corruption crap and I'm not going to take it anymore.

Though that may seem reason enough, I'll give you a few more. If I don't expose this rampant practice of governmental corruption, practically no one will in this tight-knit corrupt city. The prior story of Officer Parker being arrested reporting in to work is a clear example.

I'm not the only reporter that has received tips on the Officer Parks affair, in fact, all local major news outlets have been made aware of the story at least since the 27th of January, yet who is doing all the tellin'? A world-wide syndicated Social Justice blogger.

Now, when I mention the word "corrupt", I'm not singling out Little Rock as being anymore corrupt that any other Jim Crow era southern city.

Anecdotally, I can tell you that Pulaski County Arkansas as a whole, has definitely earned the Jim Crow Corruption award in my qualified & documented opinion. This place is just as segregated as ever, OK, so-called Blacks, Whites & Hispanics do work alongside each other for a paycheck, but they are no more TRULY integrated than they were fifty years ago. Nor is there any genuine desire to do so among ANY of the so-called "racial" groups in general.

Since I'm the one that has mentioned "race", let me give you a quick window of some of my views of "racialism" as an American Creole Indian. We believe & know that "race" is a phoney notion of an invention designed by slave-holding Virginians growing tobacco in the 1600's. "Race" as we Americans know it, is a debunked concept, a notion, created to force a social caste system similar to India's upon the citizens of this Great Experiment called The United States of America:

Human to human total genetic variation is approximately 0.5%. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are single base-pair DNA differences accounting for 0.1% variation. Based only on this SNP variation of 0.1%, this implies that the genomes of any two random humans are expected to differ by about 3 million base pairs. Of this 0.1% difference, 85% is found within any given population, 7% is found between populations within a continent and only 8% is found on average between the various continental populations. Thus there is more genetic diversity within a continental population than between these populations. Based on this observation, Richard Lewontin has claimed that accurate classification of humans is therefore impossible and can have no taxonomic utility. However, this view has been rejected by A. W. F. Edwards in his paper entitled Human Genetic Diversity: Lewontin's Fallacy, Edwards shows that accurate classification of humans is possible because most of the data that distinguishes populations occurs in correlations between allele frequencies, although these classifications vary depending on a number of criteria, such as sampling strategy, type of locus, distribution of loci around the genome and number of loci. On the other hand Witherspoon et al. (2007) have shown that even when accurate classification of human populations is achieved, often individuals classified into different groups are more genetically similar to each other than to members of their own group. This seems to be due to the fact that multi-locus clustering does not take into account the genetic similarities between individuals, and only uses population level traits for comparison. Witherspoon et al. conclude that accurate classification of individuals drawn from a continuously varying human population may be impossible. Compared with other species the amount of genetic diversity among humans is relatively small. For example two random chimpanzee are expected to differ by about 1 in 500 DNA base pairs, equivalent to double the diversity amongst humans. This may indicate that chimpanzees have existed as a species much longer than humans.[3].

Back to the stories of corruption in government. The Arkansas Democrat Gazette came out with a story about an undercover narcotics cop. They basically gave the reader the impression that this cop was likely driving an undercover police vehicle while under the influence. They are waiting for the blood test to come back. well, apparently this cop rolled his vehicle on the 24000 block of Lawson Rd. where an off-duty first responder aided him and set the story in motion.

They failed to mention his name, but I have no problem doing so, just remember, Jason Knowles is considered innocent till proven guilty like the rest of us. Whatever the heck that is supposed to mean. It was also mentioned to me that Jason had a prior DWI arrest but was hired back on to the force anyway.

Speaking of being under the influence, what was the LRPD thinking when Officer/Patrolman Greg Smith failed a random test and blew a .04 Blood Alcohol level while still on duty? Fired right? NOPE, 30 day suspension & a desk job. To be quite honest, he had TWO separate heinous incidents, I think you got the point though.

That's RIGHT a FRIGGIN' DESK JOB. I asked my high ranking Administrator at the LRPD about this. Since it is a matter of public record I was able to get a comment this time. "LRPD Admin. can do one of three basic things when it comes to these matters. There is a process agreed upon with the Police Union. We can terminate the officer/patrolman for just cause. We may demote him or issue him under the heading of Suspensions a letter of reprimand up to no more than a 30 day suspension.". Since he is a patrolman there was no demotion option, firing an officer isn't always so easy with the union & 30 days is the most an officer is allowed on suspension. Interesting, I need a union like that, damn.

While I'm at it, I might as well mention something about TAKE HOME PATROL CARS. This has been a bone of contention on MANY fronts for MANY individuals within and out of the LRPD. I'm personally looking into take-home patrol vehicles because a particular dirty cop that has focused upon myself, Ean Bordeaux, is one of the guilty parties.



A mounted patrolman named Shannon Dewayne Cox of 5915 Buffalo River North Little Rock, was recently "dimed on" for taking his mounted patrol truck home to work with him. He used to live in Maumelle, where this unpermitted practice went undetected. He unwisely thought that he could continue this unpermitted practice in North Little Rock, where recently North Little Rock cops have come under fire for spending too much time on their cell phones and were ordered to ante up their personal phone records and cut duty phone time to no more than 15mins per shift.

Wrong move dirty cop, the LRPD Mounted Patrol Truck is SUPPOSED to stay with the HORSE not go home with the JACKASS!

More stories of government corruption to come in this investigatory series. The Mexican Consulate is working on reports that three Mexican murder/robbery victims might have had a living chance if a particular officer had not "sat" on a previous hit & run report involving one of the robber/murderers. This same officer is rumoured to be facing felony charges on another issue as well as failing to act properly and accordingly regarding a hit and run case this past New Years eve.



I'm going to mention this next "matter" without the name of the officer, not because I know the officer personally, but because there are children involved. It really sucks that certain officers can simply "forget themselves" assault a fellow officer and children and think that there should be no more serious consequences than what he has received. I admonish all those responsible for the safety of US to first look in the mirror EVERY single morning before you put on that badge & that gun to give me or anyone else a citation, intervene in domestic complaints & so forth, ask yourself:

IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO?

We aren't just going to discuss corrupt cops, but it sure is a good starting point.

Pulaski County Deputy Taken Off Duty After Fight With Gay Lover

Here Is The Story As It Was Written In The Arkansas Online:

Deputy taken off patrol after fight, agency says:

Deputy taken off patrol after fight, agency says

By Jacob Quinn Sanders

A Pulaski County sheriff 's deputy has been reassigned and barred from performing law enforcement duties after North Little Rock police last week charged him and his reported boyfriend of four years in a domestic disturbance that included beating and biting.

Deputy Justin Robinson, 29, was assigned to a patrol area north of the Arkansas River until his arrest early Thursday morning on a charge of domestic battery, according to reports. Robinson was assigned Friday to an overnight shift in the sheriff's office radio room and was ordered not to act as a law-enforcement officer, agency spokesman John Rehrauer said. Robinson was originally hired in March 2002 but left the sheriff's office in August 2004 to work for a family business, Rehrauer said. He was rehired in September 2008. North Little Rock police went to the house Robinson shared on Ridge Road with Brett Barger just before 1 a.m.

Thursday, according to a police report. Robinson and Barger had been drinking, then began fighting, according to the report, which also said both men stated that they had been in a relationship for more than four years. Barger bit Robinson several times and Robinson told police, he "hit me with something inthe head." Officers noted bite marks on Robinson's forearms and swelling on the back of his head. Robinson first tried to summon police using a phone, but it was reportedly broken during the fight.

He then used the radio in his patrol car, according to reports. "Robinson stated that during the altercation, Barger tore the microphone out of his Pulaski County vehicle and damaged a console light," according to the report. Eventually, Robinson hit an emergency button on his radio, which sent a distress call to 911 dispatchers, reports say. North Little Rock police who arrived to investigate originally could not find Barger and left. Four hours later, he reappeared and so did North Little Rock police officers.

"Barger advised officers that he had hidden in a nearby yard during the earlier activity," according to the report. Barger told police that Robinson "pushed and shoved" him and whacked him in the back of the head with a pair of handcuffs. Police documented small cuts on Barger's head. Officers took Robinson to the Pulaski County jail in Little Rock and Barger to the Northside intake facility in North Little Rock to keep them separated. Both were released on their own recognizance.

THIS IS THE TIP I RECEIVED:

(SOMETIMES THESE TIPS ARE RIGHT ON THE MONEY!)

MAY 26,2009: NEWSFLASH--I'm giving this story to you first. You need to run a story about the arrest of a Pulaski Co. sheriff deputy. This will include everything you guys love the most-- violence, injuries, booze, SWAT teams, and of course gay sex. And no it doesn't include the sheriff or his gay son.

Well... not this time. "Justin" was arrested after the drunk deputy called in a "man with a gun" call to his residence. He even used his police radio so there is a hot audio tape that's also available for additional entertainment and for verification purposes. The NLRPD responded along with the PCSO.

Always having to be dumbasses, the NLRPD had to call out their SWAT team after the victim of rough sex could not be located. The NLR city attorney (another lead to follow) is threatening to sue Justin in order to get reimbursement for the SWAT call-out. He has been relieved of duty and has been assigned to the communications center. He was charged with domestic abuse in the corrupt NLR district court. I'm sure this one should turn out to be a lot of fun to report on.

Thanks,

CORRECTION LETTER SENT TO CORRUPTION SUCKS:

I guess I have a "correction" of sorts. What your administrator said about it "not being that easy" to terminate someone (RE; Greg Smith) then they are a total LIAR!! I was fired almost 5 years ago for blowing a .022, not a .04 and the policy states that over .021 is the limit. (or it use to) it may be lower these days. I had been in 2 other incidents. A DWI in March of 2003, (15 day suspension), allowing an unauthorized driver to drive Oct. 2003, (30 day suspension) and blowing .022 in Feb. of 2004, and terminated May 2004. I appealed and of course lost. The FOP president and his good old' white boy friends came down to the hearing and testified a bunch of lies about me. So, no one can tell me that it's "not easy" to terminate an officer.

Oh, and let me added that prior to 2003, I had never been suspended for anything in all the years on the force. (I hired on May 1990). I was on patrol for 11 years and a Bicycle officer for 3 years. They did not offer me "rehab" or anything else, so I went to Bridgeway on my own out of my pocket for 7 days. And they did not even recognize the fact that I did that.

Anyway, just thought that it should be known.

Little Rock Police officer Charged With DWI- Suspended Rather Than Fired

Undercover Arkansas Officer Arrested for DUI

Little Rock - An undercover Little Rock police officer was suspended for 30 days after being arrested for drunken driving and trying to get out of it by asking for "professional courtesy."

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, using records it obtained through a public disclosure request, says detective Russell C. Littleton completed his suspension in January. The newspaper says the 35-year-old also lost the privilege of taking an unmarked police truck home at night and had to have an interlock installed on the truck.

http://www.katv.com/news/stories/0409/616800.html#commentsform

Littleton is an 11-year department veteran assigned to a U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives task force. He was arrested in August 2008 by Bryant police, who say he tried to talk his way out of being arrested.

REPRINT: FORT SMITH-Commission Reinstates, Demotes Fired Officer

By Wanda Freeman

TIMES RECORD . WFREEMAN@SWTIMES.COM

Friday, March 6, 2009 1:43 PM CST

The Civil Service Commission sent a clear and explicit message Thursday when it reinstated but also demoted a former police sergeant for violation of Fort Smith Police Department policies: Preferential treatment will not be tolerated, especially with regards to drunken-driving offenses.



Calvin Treat was a sergeant for the last two-thirds of his 23-year police career when he was fired Feb. 6 after failing to arrest and report a fellow officer suspected of driving while intoxicated.



Police Chief Kevin Lindsey fired both Treat and the fellow officer, Cpl. Donnie Ware, who won reinstatement after a three-hour appeal hearing Wednesday.



In the Dec. 28 incident, Ware was stopped for speeding, and Treat, the ranking officer among several who arrived on the scene, administered a portable breath to Ware. Treat reportedly said the test came out just under the legal intoxication limit of 0.08 blood alcohol content, but the result was later shown to be 0.19. Treat arranged for Ware's wife to pick him up. He did not

file a report on the incident.



Treat appealed his termination before the commission Thursday, but his reinstatement was bittersweet at best: He was demoted to corporal and given a 30-day suspension without pay.



In announcing the decision, made after an hour of deliberation, commission chairman Charles Ledbetter stated:



"This commission has responsibility and oversight for making policy for the Police Department. We are not going to tolerate preferential treatment as it relates to the enforcement of DWI."



Ledbetter went on to stress that arrest decisions should not be based on "who you are, your station in life or your position in the city."



During the six-hour hearing, numerous officers of all ranks testified they were not aware of a zero-tolerance DWI policy and believed they had discretion when handling DWI cases involving fellow police officers or city officials.



Their testimony supported arguments by Treat's attorney, Sam "Chip" Sexton III, that his client acted in good faith based upon past experience that allowed for such discretion.



One such experience was an incident in November 2005, when officer Billy Moore - the same officer who stopped Ware - pulled then-City Administrator Bill Harding over at 7:30 a.m. for driving on the left side of the road.



Moore called his supervisor, Treat, who later reported that he contacted his supervisor and was given three options: to take Harding to the IHOP for a meeting Harding said he had planned with then-city director Ken Pyle; take Harding home; or arrest him.



Treat's supervisor, Capt. Larry Ranells, recalled the incident differently. He testified that he ran through several options with Treat and then told him to "hold whatcha got" while he called the police chief for advice.



Ranells said then-police chief Randy Reed wanted Harding to be treated like any other citizen and advised that Treat should go to the scene and determine if Harding should be arrested and brought in for a breath test. However, when Ranells called Treat back, Treat told him Moore had already taken Harding to the IHOP.



Four hours later, Harding had an accident causing property damage and was arrested then. He had been returned to his car by Pyle after their meeting. The earlier incident was not mentioned on the arrest report until March 2006, when Treat's report about the three choices was entered as a supplement.



The comparisons between the Harding and Ware incidents led to persistent questions about preferential treatment and zero tolerance by Ledbetter and attorney Rick Wade, who represented the city and Lindsey at the hearing.



Wade repeatedly asked how to explain preferential treatment for police officers and city officials to the general public.



Ledbetter wondered pointedly whether the public or police supervisors "learned anything" from the November 2005 incident, and if rank and file police officers got the zero-tolerance message since then.



After the hearing, Wade said the commission's decision made clear that inside the department, the police chief will not tolerate preferential treatment, especially in DWI cases.



"The message was sent loud and clear," he said. "I would be very surprised if any officers currently working under this chief ever violate that policy. ... If there was a gray area, it's now black and white."



Wade said he took Ledbetter's zero-tolerance declaration to mean the panel will not go through the debate again.



"If the police chief decides to terminate someone for violating this policy, they'll uphold his decision," he said.



Lindsey said the people of Fort Smith are the winners in this situation because now there is clear direction from the Civil Service Commission.



He said Treat's reinstatement does not dilute the zero-tolerance message.



"He was reinstated with demotion. That's a strong blow," Lindsey said. "Supervisors have an above-average responsibility to make sure the right thing is done, and he didn't do that as a supervisor."



Sexton said he was pleased his client was reinstated, but the demotion was an "awfully harsh penalty" for an officer who acted in good faith.
