Jon Russell is crushed: Post Record now requires Facebook identities to comment.

Except for the fake facebook identities Jon Russell has made up (and he's made up a few) the Post Record acted to end his charade of multiple identities to attack opponents and support sock-puppets.

While this doesn't make it impossible for Russell to continue to lie about who he is when he comments, it does make it more difficult.

Expect the appearance of another of his fake identities, one Jessica Bowen. This post here explains it all.

Oddly, Russell has a thing for cute blondes with the initials J and B... thus his fake identity Judy Banks that I exposed during the last election.

In the meantime, the PR has implemented the policy of their Columbian ownership:

Post-Record unveils new website commenting system

Posting comments will require a Facebook account

Tuesday, October 25, 2011

Today the Post-Record will launch a new commenting system on its website to improve the reader experience and encourage community members to join the conversation. All readers who wish to comment on www.camaspostrecord.com stories must now use their real name and post their remarks with a Facebook account.

The goal of the change is to bring accountability to website article comments, while also encouraging thoughtful and critical discussion about local topics and items of interest. The concept is similar to what is demanded by letters to the editor in the print edition, which require the author’s name for publication.

Commenters can choose to share their thoughts on local issues with their Facebook friends by posting comments to their walls. Other readers will see the comment on www.camaspostrecord.com, but the commenter’s profile information will not be visible, depending on his or her Facebook privacy settings.

The Post-Record will continue to moderate comments, and will remove those that don’t meet community discussion guidelines. Commenters using fake Facebook accounts and/or names to comment or violate community guidelines will be banned.

Once the changeover to Facebook based commenting takes place, comments made on past articles using the previous system will no longer be visible on the website

A typical Russell supporter: your[sic] still going to loose.[sic]

For anyone to actually support Russell or his stooges, they have to be both functionally illiterate AND stupid. One wonders: what, exactly, does "loose" mean in this instance?

Anonymous said...

Keep digging man, your still going to loose.

"Loose" what?

Does this anonymous clown mean LOSE?

Well, I've been in politics just long enough to know that anything can happen. After all, look at Vancouver. They actually elected a slime ball like Tim "The Liar" Leavitt as mayor... so anything CAN happen.

But is it likely that scum like Jon Russell actually has any political support among the rank and file?

Anyone paying attention knows he's a liar with the integrity of a hyena.

He DOES seem self-deluded enough to actually believe that his endorsement in the democratian actually HELPED these people, instead of clobbering them...

But that is what I believe to be the case. That is, Russell's ongoing, pathological ability to lie is a symptom of his self-delusion.

And in this case, there is practically no chance that this repeatedly failed candidate's puppets are going to win. The people of Washougal seem to have had enough, a fact Russell has ferreted out... as he makes nice with Ann Rivers and actually posts over his OWN NAME.

But yeah, the run of the mill Russell supporter is ignorant and expresses him or herself this way. And will that make any difference at the polls?

More trouble for the Russell Posse: Caryn Plinski? She's only voted twice since she got here.

Yup... she's blown off the general every year except 08 and 10.

She's not voted in a primary...ever.

Yet ANOTHER candidate wannabe that can't find time to vote?

Good God, Jon.... don't you VET the sock puppets you have running for you?

So, why would you want to be a city councilwoman when you rarely vote... like once in 10 years?

I've got documentation which indicates that candidate for Washougal city council, Nicole "Niki" Anderson has only voted once... in the last decade!

Here's a snap of Niki Anderson's voting record... a public document, I might add.

I have verified this through the Sound Politics Voter Database:

ANDERSON

NICOLE

F

272o

MAIN ST

WASHOUGAL

2004-NOV-02

1974-DEC-04

1998-DEC-05

P

910

Yes, the last time Anderson voted seems to be Novemeber of 2004. In fact, it seems to be the ONLY time she's voted in the last decade.

Now, we've had other examples of those running for office who failed to take this responsibility seriously:

Tim "The Liar" Leavitt comes to mind. The bizarre aspect here is that Leavitt blew off voting WHILE HE WAS ELECTED TO THE VANCOUVER CITY COUNCIL.

Then, who can forget the legendary County Assessor candidate, Janet Seekins, who hadn't voted in the entirety of her LIFE. (The rag endorsed her anyway... because, well, she was running as a democrat.)

In this instance, and in the interests of consistency and non-hypocrisy, I can't view Niki Anderson as someone I would want elected to anything either.

After all, the last time anyone was elected around here with a horrific record of voting in the general or in primaries it was The Liar Leavitt. And he's turned out to be an unmitigated disaster of Obama-esque proportions.

This could be very bad for Jon Russell: Stacy Sellers is writing a book.

Hopefully, it'll delve into what was happening while Russell was approving her Vegas expenditures.

Just sayin'.

Stacee Sellers is back on top

Blog: All politics is local

Subscribe

By Marissa Harshman (Columbian Staff)

October 20, 2011

It's been nearly two years since former Washougal Mayor Stacee Sellers lost her bid for re-election and disappeared from Clark County.

But like Elvis and Tupac, reported sightings continue to trickle in.

The latest: Sellers is penning her first book.

The best part: The title. "Foreplay: How to get back on top."

No joke.

Here's the description of the book, as written on her LinkedIn page:

"This is my experiences of letting go of negativity, self doubt, judgment and fear and living the life I always dreamed I could."

She's still getting handsy with her massage therapy business called a la paix on the potomac (which translates to “peace on the Potomac”).

She has also apparently started another business, iRealtorAssistant, and is a social media and marketing consultant for Talk The Talk Fusion.

On her LinkedIn profile, she gives more insight into what the last two years have been like and makes a mention of her time in Washougal.

"Like so many others all over the world I spent a great portion of my life miserable. One day I decided that I had been feeling sorry for myself long enough. I made a decision to get my life on track and spend the rest of my days empowering others and building the best relationships possible."

Why I'm shocked... SHOCKED... but Jon Russell thinks he's got me blocked... BLOCKED from his facebook page!

Recently, Jon Russell seems to have suffered some sort of epiphany, and he's ACTUALLY STARTED POSTING OVER HIS REAL NAME! Can you BELIEVE IT?

After years of lying about who he is, what his education is, what his wife is and how much money he raised for his abortive state representative race... and after me beating on him like a rented step-child for his lies, deceit and distortions since he markets himself as some sort of Christian when his acts are anything BUT Christian, Russell FINALLY seems to have figured it out... at least the part about the dozen or so fake names he posts under to attack those who oppose him and put the curse of political death on those he supports.

A great deal of the information I use on this blog and in my commentary about Mr. Russell has been, you guessed it, readily available on Russell's Facebook page(s).

This blog has many screen captures, taken directly from Russell's facebook pages, where he's lied about some aspect of his life for political gain. One of my faves:


At the time of this screen capture, Russell had no degree of any kind. (September 1 of this year) yet he couldn't help himself... and he had to lie and say that he had TWO degrees... when he had neither.

This, of course, is on the heels of the FIRST time I busted Russell for lying about his nonexistent college degree... this one in political science.

You remember, don't you, Jon?

That one was a beaut.

Jon, in one of his less lucid moments, ACTUALLY COMPLAINED TO THE DEMOCRATIAN THAT I HAD OUTED HIM!

Of course, the rag investigated... and of course, they verified what I had written.

Russell's response? Classic political double-speak: “I’ve always said I’ve earned my degree. I’ve never said I obtained my degree.”

Of course, Russell's problem here is this:

He had NOT, in fact, "earned a degree." and that fits in nicely with his bizarre explanation that he hadn't "obtained his degree."

Isn't it nice when those in elected office have a level of arrogance that enables them to parse words that way?

Russell, has, on September 9th, FINALLY picked up an AA degree... a mere 15 months after he told the rag that he had, in fact, "earned" it. And the AA degree he picked up? Well, suffice it to say that it wasn't the non-existent "political science" degree he'd claimed.

So, my number one source for smacking Russell for each one of his lies is, well, Russell.

Russell HATES that sort of thing. He hates that his wife outed him for his fake identities... he hates that I caught him making up identities on facebook during first, the campaign, and now so he could, again, use the fake name dodge to comment on the democratian.... and now, all of a sudden, he's actually begun to COMMENT OVER HIS OWN NAME!

In his delusional state, Russell is, no doubt, planning yet another attempt at running for the open seat in the 18th District now that it looks like Ed Orcutt will be "districted" out.

I say delusional because no one will want to elected a self-aggrandizing liar to this, or any other office.

Anyway, at the end of the day, Russell thinks he's blocked me from his facebook page. He's now commenting on the democratian, and he oddly believes that I can't see it... or what's on his wall... or his pictures... or whatever.

Nonsense.

That said, I point this out for one reason and one reason only:

Jon, if you were just telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.... well, why, I wouldn't have anything at all to write about.... now would I?

Will wonders never cease? Jon Russell actually comments on the Post Record... OVER HIS OWN NAME!

Imagine my surprise!

After YEARS of making up fake names to comment over in local newspapers and blogs, he has apparently been struck by something of an epiphany... and has ACTUALLY STARTED TO POST OVER HIS OWN NAME!

And yes, the world continues to spin. AND, the sun continues to come up in the East as it has for the past few weeks, anyway.

Why in God's Name did Russell ever stoop to hiding behind fake names in the first place?

Well, besides the obvious, I mean.

Anyway, for those actually amazed at the very thought of such a thing, head on over to

http://www.camaspostrecord.com/news/2011/oct/11/letters-editor-oct-11-2011/#comments

And check it out. It's a sight/site (heh) to behold!

Russell slithers out onto Facebook... again.

One of the more entertaining aspects of keeping an eye on Jon Russell's latest skulduggery, is that he typically runs away when I smack him on the blogs... or call him out on those rare and infrequent occasions when he actually posts a comment over his own name... given his year's long habit of making up various fake identities to attack political opponents or support political lackeys.

A couple of weeks ago, I pounded him... again.... on facebook. I reminded him that calling others out and accusing THEM of "libel" is the height of hypocrisy, among other things.

Russell mixed it up, a little bit... but he hates being reminded of all those lies during his campaign... and he REALLY hates to be reminded that he was paid a total of over $25,000 on campaigns to jack up our taxes... both on the Port Levy tax rip off and that massive waste of money called the Library Levy.

He REALLY hates that.

Anyway, his response has been, typically, to shut everything down until he thinks the dust has settled... and then he slowly re-emerges... both bloody, AND bowed... so I can repeat the process.

And today is no exception... since a facebook page has re-emerged. Again. And even THAT page leaves out the things Russell wants you to forget.

You remember, don't you, that Russell fancied himself as the de facto chair of the city finance committee... the committee that had to approve all the Washougal credit card expenditures... like those Russell approved as a result of Stacee Sellers' Vegas trip with Russell buddy Bivens, the city finance director?

Oddly, in the "biography" Russell has on this page, he goes to great lengths to tell the reader what committees he's served (ing) on and that he was mayor pro tem (Until he lost the job) back in 2010.

But not a peep on there about his tenure on the city finance committee.


You gotta wonder:

Why IS that?

My guess?

He doesn't want to remind anyone.

Which is OK... because that's what I'M here for.

So, expect more posts on the subject as I use the source documents to further indict this underhanded, backstabbing, multiple identity liar of a politician.

And yeah, Jon... I'm watching.

More hypocrisy from Russell, this time from his bizarre blog.

Washougal Kissbutts blog, the bizzare and nether-worldly effort of the namesake of THIS blog, has gone off the deep end.

Jon Russell, faux-conservative, always touts himself that way, and on his blog, he's doing a Jeff Dunham imitation so rankly amateur as to be sickening.

Russell's latest spew?

Freeman Calls Out Molly Coston on Conflicts of Interest

What's the article say?

Nothing of substance and nothing that matters.

That Freeman is doing this is as likely as Russell telling the truth about his education or his wife's job; in short, not likely.

Freeman has shown she knows about as much about politics as she does performing an abdominal resection. She's a talking head, moving her lips when Russell's hand moves... like Jeff Dunham and Achmed.

That's also not the point of this post.

The point of this post is to again remind everyone that "conservative" Jon Russell was a consultant (THE consultant?) on the moronic Vancouver Port Levy, as horrific and unnecessary a tax proposal as ever presented... what ultimately would have been the largest single tax increase in the history of this area. In addition, he made a nice pile off the equally idiotic Library Levy... Around $13000 on the Port Levy, and around $13,000 on the Library Scam

So, it's hard for me not to comment on Russell's rank hypocrisy when HE (Not Freeman) is calling someone ELSE out on a non-existent "conflict of interest."

Sickening, actually.

Jon Russell freaking out that Delavar might lose.

After finding his posse blown to pieces, rhetorically speaking, in the Post Record, Jon Russell's head has, literally, exploded.

The PR's endorsement of about everyone BUT who Russell wants has caused him to go nuts on his bizarro-world blog, Washougal Kiss-butts.

He is HAMMERING on Mike Delavar's opponent, Joyce Lindsey, with a bunch of irrelevant crap that in the end, doesn't matter. The problem?

No one reads his tripe.

Here's a graph of how sad an pathetic Russell's readership numbers really are, provided by this nut job on his own blog.

Now, as a rule, I don't support democrats. But Russell's influence/support of Mike Delavar is not a good thing, and Delavar hasn't done anything I can find to separate himself from Russell, who Delavar now wears around his neck like an anchor.

That Russell has now focused exclusively on Delavar's opponent to the exclusion of the rest of his posse makes it appear that Russell has, wisely, dumped them as a lost cause and is now working double-overtime to save the one chance he's got left.

None of Russell's little comments are germaine to city issues, you understand. Lindsey is, gasp, A DEMOCRAT!

According to Russell, she favors partial birth abortion (She donated to I-694 13 years ago... when Jon Russell hadn't even heard of Washington State, let along lived here (He's been a resident for all of 7 years)) is THAT a city issue? Affirmative Action (Is THAT a city issue?)

He busts Lindsey's chops for her party affiliation.

For me, the question is this:

Would it be OK if the favor were returned, and it were Russell?

Hard to say. I'm sure he wouldn't mind, right?

But keep this in mind: Russell's actions here are driven by fear, because it's alllllll falling apart.

Right, Jon?

Cross posted at Clark County Politics.

Russell's posse takes it in the chops: Post-Record endorses everyone else.

So, The Russell herd has been corralled and loaded on the box car to head for the slaughterhouse.

Russell is joined at the hip with Mike Delavar, Connie Jo Freeman and Caryn Plinski. Delavar is the incumbent; Freeman and Plinski are the challengers.

Ultimately, Russell's political career is over. His insistence on the unforced errors of calling himself a Christian, fake conservative who made 5 figures working for the PRO-tax side on the Port Levy... a college graduate, lying to the PCO's about his fundraising acumen, and his truly bizarre fixation on referring to his wife as a doctor... not to mention his exceptionally strange desire to assume multiple identities on various comment sites on blogs and newspapers... all very Christian, you understand...

All combine to make him politically DOA around here. And, of course, those he supports get caught in that splatter.

So, Russell tries to run a couple of unheard ofs so he can try and circumvent the mayor... taking over that position in a de facto manner of speaking... political allegiances being what they are.

They're not remotely qualified to hold positions on the city council, either by experience (One of his herd just attended her first city council meeting a couple of weeks ago) or temperament. Russell's history of campaigning is, of course, an outright disaster; the only campaign he won was against the woman who ran against him in his only contested city council campaign... and the reason for that?

Well, she filed... and that was about it.

He brings those same mad skills that made his congressional campaign and state representative campaigns such a disaster to the table when he tries to "assist" in the campaigns of others. And these are no exception.

The Post Record notices these things, I'm sure... and here's their take:

Washougal City Council races: Vote for Morris, Lindsay, McDaniel and Coston

Mike Gallagher

Tuesday, October 4, 2011

It won’t be long before General Election ballots begin arriving in local mailboxes, and what voters in Washougal will find are eight City Council candidates — all with very different backgrounds and viewpoints on local issues.

During the past three weeks articles profiling these candidates have been published in the Post-Record, and four of those individuals stand above the rest.

When considering the Washougal City Council elections, voters should cast their ballots for Rod Morris (Position No. 2); Joyce Lindsay (Position No. 4); Jennifer McDaniel (Position No. 5); and Molly Coston (Position No. 7).


In the Position 2 race, incumbent Rod Morris is the clear choice against Caryn Plinski. Morris possesses the experience of 16 years on the council, during which time he has demonstrated balanced decision making and thoughtful consideration of the issues that are important to the citizens of Washougal. He also has shown a general willingness to work with his fellow council members, even those he may disagree with.

And while Plinski seems to have enthusiasm directed toward a run for the seat, she lacks knowledge of the issues or distinct opinions on how Washougal can and should move forward successfully.

In Position No. 4, Michael Delavar’s experience of two years on the council does not outweigh Joyce Lindsay’s clear passion for Washougal and her desire to keep the city on the right course. Lindsay has done her homework. From mailing out questionnaires to citizens, knocking on the doors of residents, and setting up meetings with business owners and local officials, she has set out to understand what the city’s constituents think about local issues. Her life experience, which includes owning a small business, will serve her well as a councilwoman.

Delavar, on the other hand, has spent a good deal of his efforts on City Council championing state and national issues that Washougal doesn’t need to spend its time addressing. While topics including immigration, abortion, the ethics of using stimulus funding and the state and federal deficit are important, they are best tackled in different arenas.

In Position No. 5, while Niki Anderson has that hometown spirit and seems to truly want to listen to and give back to her community, incumbent Jennifer McDaniel has served the city well during her first term in office by working hard, weighing the issues and making the best decisions she can — even when they are not always popular with all of her fellow council members. Her style is quiet, civil, and straight forward, yet strong and authoritative. She should be allowed the opportunity to continue to serve the city.

In another election, against a different opponent Anderson might be the choice to serve. But in this election, she doesn’t offer enough reasons to unseat McDaniel.

Sitting in Position No. 7 since May 2005, Molly Coston has consistently been a diligent, hard working council member, who stays abreast of the issues and votes her conscience. Although her desire to have a City Council that works together better and more efficiently is noteworthy, she could stand to take a harder stand on issues of importance.

Coston’s challenger Connie Jo Freeman seems enthusiastic about becoming involved in the city, and wanting others to be involved. But she falls short when it comes to having a real knowledge of the issues, or offering ideas on how to solve problems impacting Washougal. Coston, by contrast, has earned a second term on the council.

Jon Russell's future: Reardon confronts Hope about fake name allegations

Down here in Clark County, we have our own version of this kind of controversy.
As we all know based on his wife's confirmation, Jon Russell has had an interesting habit for several years now: he uses a fake name to attack his opponents or policies he opposes, while using a fake name to support those on his side of the issues, and candidates he supports: here locally, candidates for Washougal City Council Caryn Plinski and Connie Joe Freeman are entirely constructs of Jon Russell's efforts to take control of the city council by packing it (ala FDR's effort to "pack" the Supreme Court) so he can become the de facto mayor, since he thinks so little of the current holder of that position.
Jon Russell wants to be MY state representative. As a result, I am going to be everywhere public that HE is, to ask him to explain his fascination with multiple fake names to attack his opponents... instead of using honesty and integrity as his position as an elected official demands.

To that end, this confab over candidates using fake names is Jon Russell's future. And the voters of Washougal should be guided accordingly in their consideration of who to support this November: those tied to Russell like the 1`3th Amendment never passed... or those who owe him nothing.
In reality, it's a simple equation: do you want someone like "Russell" running your city?
I wouldn't.

Reardon confronts Hope about fake name allegations

Posted by Emily Heffter

In a candidate forum Friday morning, Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon confronted his opponent Mike Hope about accusations that Reardon staffer Kevin Hulten used a fake name to file frivolous complaints and records requests.

Reardon asked Hulten Wednesday whether Hulten was using the fake name "John Chambers." The executive was quoted saying Hulten didn't know anything about Chambers' complaints.
As it turns out, Hulten wasn't pretending to be Chambers. But Hulten is a close friend of Chambers' and the two were sharing information about Hope.

In a Friday morning debate at the Tulalip Resort Casino, Hope confronted Reardon about his management abilities, saying Reardon should investigate his employees. If elected, Hope says he would have an office of professional integrity.

Hulten "lied to your face the other day, and you said you would take his word for it," Hope said.

Reardon shot back that he's a tough boss. "You step out of line in my office, you're terminated," he said. As for Hulten, Reardon said Hope falsely accused his employee of "a felony."

See, this kind of thing represents political fly paper. Why Russell engages in it is beyond me.... but he does.
Combine that with his lies about his education, his lies about his wife being a physician, his lies about what he, personally has done and his lies about being a conservative... well, you get the drift.
