Jon Russell Watch

One wonders: is Jon Russell reduced to being channeled by his wife, Sarah?

2012-02-07T16:14:00.000-08:00

Since he got his new gig and since I busted him again for using yet another fake identity on Facebook, Jon Russell has almost gone underground.

Because in addition to his other multiple psychosis's, He actually resurrected one of his propaganda mills so he could brag about his 15 seconds of fame on the democratian political blog... and also polish his shtick with the latest job he scammed: poisoning the mind of some of youth.

Not that the message is bad as much as it's the serpent delivering it.

The democratian's reaction to Russell's multiple lies... and the multiple times I've busted him... is actually rather curious. Russell kind of reminds me of a tarantula wasp, and the democratian is the spider.

The rag knows they're being walked on... around.... over.... but they seem helpless to do anything about it, even though they know the outcome isn't going to be pretty.

Chances are they fail to do their job because the main source of their information to nail this guy would come from, well, me. And they can't have that.

Anyway, having been busted in the mouth, again and having shown, once again, that Russell is more psychotic then Republican, what's a guy to do when he ABSOLUTELY HAS TO SAY SOMETHING... knowing that I'm out here lurking.

At this moment, Russell has taken down his entire facebook presence... or, perhaps, has been forbidden from having such a presence.

So, when he gets the Jones to shoot off his mouth and he knows I'm out here... just waiting for him to make up another fake identity that I can bust... what's he to do...

What to do..... what to do...

Use his own wife's Facebook page to babble about his message.

What makes me think this is Russell?

Well, head on over to her page and take a look at her comments.

First, you won't even see the comment above.

Think Jon made it without telling her? It's possible. After all, he faked dozens of identities that she didn't know about. What better way to shoot off your mouth then to use her identity and not let her or anyone else that follows her, know?

Second, there's no evidence there that she's ever commented on the democratian or any other newspaper before.

Weird, eh? Why now?

How many times has she commented on the democratian... about anything?

Zero.

Third, there's Jon's history of lacking the guts to use his own name... and, well, he can hardly congratulate himself.... can he?

So, there you have it. More of Jon Russell likely being... well... Jon Russell.

Is Russell PAYING the democratian? Another lie by Jon Russell.

2012-01-29T13:15:00.000-08:00

Both here and on Jon Russell Watch, I've been documenting Russell's efforts to continue to get paid to miss meetings.

Apparently, my efforts caught the eye of one of my most ardent followers, the democratian... because, though they've never been the most original, they've shown in the past that they're not beyond ripping off this blog for both stories and ideas... this effort likely being a case in point.

The story is about city council types missing city council meetings. The bizarre paragraph in this one, though,. is this utter nonsense:

Council absences have not resulted in cancelled meetings in Washougal, but they have resulted in the early finish of one.

Councilmen Jon Russell and Michael Delavar walked out of an April meeting after the council voted 3-2 to form a committee to review the city’s ethics policy. The two men defended their walkout as a way to protect the vote and opinions of two council members who were not present.

Russell missed four regular meetings due to job- and family-related activities. Councilman Rod Morris, who was defeated in his reelection bid, also missed four meetings.

“Four out of 24 is not bad,” Russell said.

Actually, this is proof that while figures don't lie, liars do figure.

Over the past 4 meetings in Washougal, since Russell fooled that pro-life organization into giving his a temporary job, he's missed how many?

Well, it appears to me and many others commenting on my blogs... he's missed them all, or most of them.

That he's fine with missing ANY is despicable... and despicable is Russell. But missing most of them since he scammed a job?

The rag would be better served checking anything Russell, a proven, serial liar, tells them.

And Ray... since you read my meager efforts (where else would you have gotten the idea for this story?) you knew better when you printed this garbage.

All of which begs the issue.

This blog has documented many of Russell's lies about who he is, who he says his wife is, how much money he's raised, his education and his habit of ripping off other identities so he can post with impunity as he typically attacks those smart enough to oppose his world view.

In the past, the leftist rag has had a problem with that. They utilize every opportunity to remind the world that I had done that... and I wasn't elected to anything.

Russell does it, and what does the rag do about it?

Absolutely nothing. Now, why do you suppose that is?

Two different sources: Russell continuing his disgraceful conduct: continued failures to attend city council meetings.

2012-01-24T08:15:00.000-08:00

As reported here, Jon Russell is blowing off his responsibilities by failing to even bother to show up for his city council meetings. yesterday was no exception.

Clearly, he's set his sights on bigger and better things. But his new job is no excuse for his ongoing failures to even bother to show up.

Elected officials who only meet a few times a month in particular have a responsibility to resign from their office if they've decided they can't be bothered to ever show up.

Russell is a case in point.

Between identity theft, campaign lies, character assassination and now, not bothering to show up for any of the meetings, the people of Washougal no longer have any representation from this clown, and it's time for him to go... or be expelled.

The question?

How much longer will those people paying his salary put up with his nonsense?

ANOTHER Facebook casualty: Jon Russell takes down his fake Jessica Bowen page.

2012-01-22T11:48:00.000-08:00

Busting Jon Russell for his pathological fake identity fetish isn't a full time gig. It doesn't have to be, given that it's so easy.

But the fact is this: I outed Russell when he was using the fake "teacher Judy Banks" identity, and I outed him for using the Jessica Bowen identity.

And now when you look for the fake Jessica Bowen, what do you get?

Whatever happened to our fair Jessica?

Russell deleted her.

He is, or will be, using other fake identities. And sooner or later, I'm going to get them all.

By now, the democratian knows about this "fake" issue. Why aren't they reporting on it? Identity theft is serious business, isn't it? Particularly when it's an elected official engaging in that peculiar past time?

Cross posted on Clark Country Politics.

So.... Jon Russell stops by... again? Seems he's upset over the Bowen Facebook outing getting traction.

2012-01-19T14:57:00.000-08:00

So, on more than one occasion, I've busted our resident slimeball south, Jon Russell, for utilizing various fake identities around the net so he can attack or support those in his political sights he's of a mind to engage.

Most recently, I caused questions with proof that there seems to be more than one "Jessica Bowen," Russell's latest alter-ego. He has used identities of made up people in the past.

All so he can keep his public skirts clean, of course.

And, in the interests of full disclosure, so have I; I am, for example, the ubiquitous Kage McClued, an identity I made up to protect Marc Boldt from attack based on MY letters to the editor in the local democratian.

So, what's the difference?

The difference now is that I'm not running for anything. And save my effort to be a PCO, designed entirely to keep Jon Russell or any of his sock puppets from getting any appointment to anything concerning the 18th District, I have no intention of running for anything, with the possible exception of county commissioner, and I'll deal with all of this when that time comes... if it comes.

But if I were ever to speak as either a candidate or an elected official, anyone reading those words would know they came from me.

Unfortunately for the people, that's not a tenet of character that Russell is burdened with,

Russell, on the other hand, has been trying to ditch Washougal and climb the political ladder for years. He won't be successful at it until I'm dead, of course, because my meager efforts have become the clearing house for all things political concerning Russell and those efforts will stand the test of time, remaining on the internet for all eternity as a reminder of what Russell is, and the kind of people he surrounds himself with.

It's up there twice, I suppose, because he got such a kick out of the first effort.

Exclusive of the fact that no one makes you read my stuff, Jon, Kelly Charles doesn't seem to exist, either, but then, that IS Russell's meme: shoot off his mouth without standing behind his words. Even now, no discussion of the merits of the Bowen post or remarks on the bizarre behavior of a person who would engage in these multiple personas... no, just a personal attack against me.

What's problematic for Jon is those darn IP address issues. Easy to trace. And I have it, of course.

In the meantime, let me say this about that.

Even if it were possible for a slimeball like you to organize a healthy goat rope, all I can say is this: bring it.

It's your kind of boastful stupidity, fake names and lies that gives politics a bad name: what was the point of making up yet another fake name and leaving your crap pile here? As you well know, talk is cheap. You'd have been far better off to just trying it while keeping your pie hole shut.

Here's a bulletin, stud: unlike you, I don't need this to make my life complete. If I am not a PCO next time around? Guess what: I'll live.

But it really won't matter, because anything YOU do politically is going to have to go through me.

And I won't be letting that happen.

Because the difference between us is that I'm not running... for anything. You on the other hand, are such a glutton for punishment, you're going to keep coming back... over and over and over...

and over and over again, those voting where you are will continue to know your pathological inability to tell the truth before they mark the ballot.

Jessica Bowen, meet Tracy Hernandez. Tracy Hernandez, meet Jessica Bowen

2012-01-17T11:43:00.000-08:00

For several months now, an entity that doesn't exist has been posting on the democratian. It's name?

Jessica Bowen.

I've been postulating that this entity is, in fact, Jon Russell, Washougal city councilman; failed congressional and state representative candidate who has this thing about posting under fake names.

I've addressed this fake identity before, and provided the tie-in with Russell and his original alter-ego, Teacher Judy Banks and then this Bowen identity.

The fake Judy Banks was a foil he could play political games with, until he got too cute by half and I busted him.

He had, sources tell me, as many as 20 different identities on the democratian. The local rag tossed a stick in his spokes, however, when they began to require facebook logins... an, voila'! Jessica Bowen was "born."

This is the fake identity "Jessica Bowen" who, among other things, claims to live in Seattle... and ONLY posts on the democratian web site... and no where else... classic Jon Russell.

But what, to my wandering eyes appear?

Why, the EQUALLY lovely "Traci Hernandez" of Orlando, Florida.

And when I say "equally," I MEAN "equally," since the pictures are of the same person.

Note that the main identity picture for "Tracy Hernandez" is the same as one of the other pictures utilized by "Jessica Bowen."

The links for these two identities are here and here.

One or the other or, likely both, are fake identities.

The question is this: why is one of these fakes an apparent mouthpiece for Jon Russell?

The whole world is watching.

So, Russell's scammed this new gig with an outfit called "Students for Life of America."

2011-12-31T08:29:00.000-08:00

In some ways, I'm sorry to see this.

Given Jon's myriad, documented and well-known inabilities to tell the truth, working with the more impressionable among the pro-life (Or any other, for that matter) movement is not something I believe he should be doing.

I'm sure this amounts to just another notch on his political gunbelt, a polishing of his social "cred," as it were.

But if, as it appears, it begins the process of removing the cancer that is Jon Russell from our local political scene, then I'm all for it. And, at least he finally told someone the truth about his education.... for once... and, except, of course, Washougal is NOT Russell's "hometown," but to expect him to do anything without SOME level of exaggeration or falsehood is, I suppose, too much to ask.

Now.... let's see how long he can keep THIS job. His other efforts haven't lasted all that long.

Why is Jon Russell blowing off the city council? Expect him to resign soon.

2011-12-30T11:59:00.000-08:00

Russell is a flake. He's always just viewed his city council gig as a small rung off of his self-induced political ladder.

So, why is he blowing off his responsibility to his constituents? he's missed the last two city council meetings... is he doing an Aaron Christopherson?

Probably. Likely.

Expect him to resign in a matter of days. And expect him to push a genuine slimeball as his replacement.

Right, Jon? One of your lackeys? Living in that double-wide?

Jon Russell continues to comment under a fake face: Jessica Bowen.

2011-12-29T20:49:00.000-08:00

Since Russell has scammed a temporary gig working for people who haven't gotten to know him yet, he's gone almost completely dark.

That is, it's hard to find statements attributed to him directly. Few quotes in the newspaper... practically no comments on their web sites.

In the past, Russell has been known for his multiple fake identities, used so he can shoot off at the mouth at others without having to be responsible for his lies, exaggerations, mischaracterizations and the like.

This blog is replete with documented instances of some of the few of his fake identities. And Jessica Bowen is but another of them.

Following the past pattern, where Russell used a fake sock-puppet identity by the name of "Teacher Judy Banks," Jon Russell is now using another fake identity, this Jessica Bowen person.

There are a few "Jessica Bowens" in Seattle. Here's one.

Now, the question might be asked: how do I know that identity is fake?

Well, it's simple, really.

No one single by the name "Jessica Bowen" is registered to vote anywhere in the Seattle area... entire state. Just like "Judy Banks."

No one is registered to vote in this state by the name of Jessica Bowen who was "Born on June 20, 1981."

Both his fake identities are cute, little and blond.

Oddly enough, the ONLY place "Bowen" comments is the Columbian.

She lives in Seattle is the claim, but.... doesn't comment anywhere... on anything.... but the Columbian?

Why?

How many women list "Red Dawn" as their favorite movie?

As politically active as she appears to be, she doesn't have a single political friend anywhere... but down here.

Russell rather moronically shills for term limits. And so does his sockpuppet "Bowen."

So, keep reading his comments. Just be advised... they're the property of one Washougal City Councilman, Jon Russell... and not a non-existent blond by the name of Jessica Bowen... a name that doesn't exist in the real world.

Redistricting and the 18: what's it all mean?

2011-12-19T01:54:00.000-08:00

We all remember the feeding frenzy of candidates in the 18th District last go-round: in fact, I can categorically state for sure that I was the only person in the 18th who actually did NOT run for the vacant House seat left open by the horrific ascension of Ridgefield Barbie to the US Congress of all things.

The democrats ran their typical downtown Vancouver leftist union hack, an abysmal failure doomed to political destruction because the 18 was, perhaps, the most conservative district in SW Washington... so, running a pro-huge government, pro-union rip-off bridger/looter who never stopped lying about "20,000 jobs" (The number seemed to go up with every speech) on the unneeded, unwanted and unaffordable I-5 Bridge/loot rail extortion project scam... which, of course, pre-destined the poor sap's slaughter at the polls. (Ultimately, he was massacred, on the losing end of a 60-40 vote, the political equivalent of Oregon playing Hockinson Middle School in the Rose Bowl, with an outcome just as predictable.)

It's not that the democrat didn't TRY.... it's just that he lacked any cards to play with.

That left a very large GOP field that no one in political leadership did anything about... stupidly... because that leadership of the Clark and Cowlitz county GOP was entirely focused on getting the Camas Manikin into Congress.

In Clark, the county chair was bought off with a job offer: Ryan Hart is now the District Director for our occasionally resident idiot in Congress; that was the deal and she bought him with it like the 13th Amendment was, in fact, the 13th Suggestion. We've been suffering with monumentally poor representation ever since.

In Cowlitz, Shannon Barnett was hamstrung both with his enamoration of Barbie and the fact that he was such a poor candidate that his employer maxed out... just not to him. In fact, he didn’t give Barnett, an almost 20 year employee, a dime.

So, we woke up and found ourselves with candidates like Barnett, Anthony Bittner (who was arrested and convicted of so many crimes.... and got away with so much… that he was, in a way, a caricature of a politician in his own personal corruption) Richard Carson, (who announced one day only to find his pet reason for doing so (Allegedly, none of the legislators listened to his concerns over the proposed BPA routing through Hockinson of a power line.... the same Hockinson I live in, I might add) get yanked out from underneath him THE NEXT DAY when the BPA announced that Hockinson was off the table)…. Robert Dean (Who could be a solid representative, and under other circumstances, I likely would have supported him.) Jon Haugen, (who has filed as a democrat, a Republican and, if memory serves, an independent, supports/opposes many of the same issues most GOP'ers do; he was/is/rightfully and militantly opposed to the bridge scam... but his presentation is kind of Ron Paulish...) Then there was Brandon Vick, who was hamstrung by a lack of experience AND time; as a part of a family business in the landscaping arena, he was fighting for financial survival while running a campaign…

Then, of course, we had to deal with failed Congressional Candidate Jon Russell... who is such a poor candidate... and a poor human being as far as that goes, that I've developed an entire blog devoted to his idiocy.

And, the ultimate winner, of course, was Ann Rivers.

But that was then, as they say. And things will be different, logistically. All candidates and incumbents must research their new district configurations. In the 18, as we face the upcoming election, we're struck by three issues: the first is that it's likely that Rob McKenna will get elected Governor. Out here, where the rubber meets the road, we won't notice any difference, of course, because McKenna is a King County Republican, which means he's kind of a democrat-light. Referring to McKenna as a Republican is kind of like confusing Lou Brancaccio and his Pit Yorkie with a "journalist." Any resemblance is purely accidental.

But in the event the planets align, and Rob becomes the Captain of the state Titanic, the buzz is that Joe Zarelli MIGHT get an appointment of some sort... baggage from collecting unemployment while a sitting state senator notwithstanding.

That, of course, is out there: but the dominoes have to fall in the right direction for that to happen... and if it happens, it will, of course, be post election in 2012.

So, we are likely to see Zarelli running for re-election in 2012 for the Senate, along with Ann Rivers in the House.

In the election, that leaves the open seat, currently held by Rep. Ed Orcutt.

Immediately after the election that leaves the possibly open seat held by Ann Rivers, who would likely be appointed to the Senate seat if Zarelli DOES get the gig from Rob.

Thus, the second issue: we're going to have, likely, not ONE, but TWO feeding frenzies: first for Orcutt's seat and then the likely appointment for River's seat, shortly thereafter. Presuming Ann gets the prospective senatorial appointment, she’ll find herself in the unenviable position of having to campaign, almost full time, for two straight years.

There isn’t a job in politics alive that’s worth it.

Now, I'm much more concerned about this seat than most because this is MY district. That is, I live in it... Even after redistricting.

Which leads us to the third issue: who are those going to run for these positions? There are a few people that I simply will not abide being elevated to the state House to represent ME. Some were, thankfully, re-districted out of contention. Some, unfortunately, were not.

Jon Russell is one such person. I will do everything I can legally to keep him out of my House of Representatives.

He is a miserable candidate, a miserable politician, completely without honor or integrity, and he has proven that time and again over the 7 years I've known him.

The likelihood that such a narcissistic career politician isn't going to run is equal to the likelihood that our local excuse for a paper will ever tell the truth about either their agenda... OR the democrats... and do so on purpose, instead of accidentally.

So, expect Russell to both announce for election, and when I kick his ass in that, expect him to announce or make yet another effort (having failed the first time) for the likely appointment for the open seat.

Other names I've heard include Brandon Vick, Chris Boyd (Former WA-03 congressional candidate), Washougal Councilwoman Jennifer McDaniel, and... and... Brian Peck (if he was redistricted into the 18th) as well as, no doubt, a host of others.

Political leadership calls for tough decisions. Those running this next time ought to remember they will not be running in the ultra-conservative 18th. Those foolish enough to buy into Russell's faux Christianity, which amounts to nothing more than one of his many empty political props, will not be enough to overcome the more moderate, less rural aspects of a much geographically smaller district.

Will the House Republicans and local political leadership have the sense and courage to cull the herd to strengthen our chances in the 18th to keep this seat? Will they send the same mixed and muddled and confused messages they did last time, dividing the party and the electorate?

With the same people calling the shots this time as last time.... what do YOU think?

So, here's the deal. As much as I'm aware of the horrific inferiority complex that envelops you, causing you to have to lie about who and what you are, if you want to be posted on this blog that you believe to be so insignificant, you've got to leave your name at the bottom of those posts.

"Anonymous" simply won't do.

Madore's "C.A.S.H. model." When he runs against Boldt

2011-11-26T09:17:00.000-08:00

I've been thinking about it since I first read it in The Reflector.

You know, in theory, something like that makes sense.

His application of it, however, is, well, lacking.

Let's take each letter of the acronym, as reported in the paper:

C = Character.

OK. One of his newer chief minions is Jon Russell, a man who has proven repeatedly that he HAS no "character." He's a fake conservative, he's a fake Christian, he's a liar, time and time again...

Freeman has a fake college degree. Plinski claims herself to be a "small business owner," arguably untrue by virtue of the fact that the Secretary of State's office and Department of Revenue have never heard of her... like they have every other legal small business owner in this state.

So why is Madore even talking to him, let alone shilling/supporting him? Or the other two?

Is claiming to be a born-again Christian the secret key to getting Madore's checkbook?

A = Attitude.

"Attitude" can mean many things to many people. It can also be an act, and, frankly, it has no place as part of a candidates skill set by virtue of his or her electability. "Attitude" can be, and frequently is, a front. Tim "The Liar" Leavitt's attitude and his lies got him elected. Does that make him a good candidate, worthy of Madore's support?

S = Skill.

Again, Jon Russell has no skills. Neither does Freeman or Plinski or Zandamela. So why is Madore supporting them?

H = Habits

Russell has a habit of lying to get elected. There's nothing he won't say to make you believe he's "worthy." He has a "habit" of selling himself to the highest bidder: making bank on both the Library levy and the massive Port levy tax increases... selling out his alleged principles for a pay check.

I, for one, won't do it.

I would rather be homeless then support or work for a candidate who willingly violates the principles I uphold.

All of which makes me ponder: there is an OVERWHELMING buzz out there that Madore is coming after Boldt... that is, that he, personally, will be running against Boldt, that Madore has put a campaign organization together and is, with his unlimited check book, about to bust a move on Boldt.

Madore has, apparently, recently put together that I am Boldt's brother-in-law. That fact doesn't make any difference to Marc, who has sold out every shred of the conservative values that saw him get elected for the downtown mafia/Identity Vancouver types who now own him like the 13th Amendment never passed, and as a result, it doesn't make any difference to me.

I will be assisting in Boldt's removal from office next year... because I have enough information to accomplish that fact.

The only questions are these: do I help someone else? Or do I do it myself?

Because, due to Madore's actions and support of many (but certainly not all) candidates and people who shouldn't even be IN politics, let along hold elective office, and because of the people he's surrounded himself with, it's not going to be him.

OOOppps! Looks like ANOTHER internet casualty for Jon Russell; his quasi official, moronic facebook page that used the city seal!

2011-11-21T16:13:00.000-08:00

You remember it, don't you? Russell breaking ANOTHER law by electioneering using the city seal:

Russell's never been one for either telling the truth OR following election laws. But the link for that page is no longer functional... meaning that someone has removed it.

Of course, "screen capture" is my middle name, for all the good it will ever do him.

Feel free to try out the link yourself.

Oh, oh... Russell's leaving the sinking ship: Now ALL of his blogs are gone, or marked "private" so they can't be read.

2011-11-18T14:35:00.001-08:00

Took the daily cruise, and what to my wandering eyes appear?

Russell's blogs all seem to be gone (prolifeinthecity.wordpress.com ? really?) or marked private. (Washougal.info)

That all begs the question: why?

To the readers, if you know of any others he's involved with, please provide them in the comments section, and I'll follow up on them as well.

Another sign Russell wants to run in the 18th: the moronic posts in his blog have all disappeared.

2011-11-16T14:43:00.001-08:00

So, doing my roughly daily job of looking for the all-too-typical Russell idiocy, I happened upon this:

So, the election was a few days ago... and what has Russell done?

More importantly.... why did he do it?

One wonders.

UPDATE:

Now even that much has disappeared: now a window comes up saying the whole thing is gone... "marked private."

UPDATE 2:

Apparently, Russell has forgotten about the google cache function. His idiocy is available for all to peruse for all time.

Russell at least takes down his likely illegal use of a community facebook page with the city's seal he used for electioneering.

2011-11-15T18:16:00.001-08:00

Made my daily trip over to Russell's facebook agitprop pages today, both his personal and pre-run for the legislature political scam site.

As noted here:

Thursday, November 3, 2011
So... why is Jon Russell using the seal of the City of Washougal for political purposes?

Russell's been running a couple of empty-suited sock-puppets to try and pack the council. From his "Community Page about Washougal, Washington" is first, his mug shot with the city seal on it, and then second, this:

Notice the Seal of the City of Washougal covering part of Russell's picture?

Kind of infers city approval for his babble.

And that's not right, is it?

I pointed out that, once again, Jon Russell was breaking the law... a law he KNEW he was breaking.

So, what do I see in tonight's visit over to the den of inequity for the 25th of October?

Absolutely nothing. He took it down.

Because he got busted for, once again, breaking the law.

But then, that's how he rolls.

Impressions on election night.

As expected, most of Russell's Herd was crushed... losers including Delavar, Plinski, Anderson, Bang and Zandamela... footnotes in political history.

Freeman, Russell's lackey from his campaign may win, holding a tiny lead of 52 as of this writing. But the balance of the city council will remain firmly out of the control of Russell, re-enforcing that even the people of Washougal are sick of his hijinks, as are the people of Camas and Battle Ground.

These races ARE close, and the final outcome is subject to change. But so far, it looks like Russell's electoral efforts have wound up like they typically do: failing.

I called all of these races, save the Coston-Freeman race... and it ain't over until it's over.

The Vancouver City Council Races also came out the way I thought they would, with Smith, Hansen and Turley getting it done, save for last minute changes in the vote.

Scott Higgins crushed his competition in the Camas mayoral...

The state rep race went as anticipated as well. The problem for a Republican winning in a socialist district is that the things he has to run on... accountability, smaller government and reduced spending, are the exact opposite of what the people in such a district want. Heavily dependent on the welfare state and utilizing a superior ground game, there was little chance of election for a fiscal conservative by a government dependent district.

Marc Boldt's illegal campaign tactics were obviously successful in the carefully gerrymandered district he was instrumental in developing from his position on the CTrans board.

The buzz now is that Boldt will use Steve "The Liar" Stuart's wife, democrat Heather Melton, as his campaign manager.

Why am I not surprised?

The statewide initiatives went as expected as a county wide expression of support for the Costco plan and Eyman's effort to rein in the rampant tolling scams so supported by Steve "The Liar" Stuart, Tim "The Liar" Leavitt and Marc "Turncoat" Boldt.

I'll make a decision over filing a PDC complaint against Boldt and those he was shilling for over the next few days. Needless to say, once again, I'm ashamed of this fake Republican.... even if he is my brother-in-law.

Sources: Jon Russell's grubby little paws are all over the "Steve Bang" race in Camas.

2011-11-06T12:10:00.001-08:00

As we all know, Jon Russell would sell his own mother into white slavery to get a pay check... or to get elected.

Well, the "Bang Race" is no different.

Russell is behind a group that he's designed to use as a fund raising base for his next self-inflicted massacre, his run for an open 18th District seat in the next House elections. He has no chance, of course... pathological liars rarely do.

The name of the group is available on any of the signs that have mysteriously popped up: The Clark County Business Association or some such.

The problem?

Russell is all over this.

The connection?

Multiple sources have contacted me and told me Russell is setting this group up. Added to that, he uses a real moron named Steve Jones as the treasurer for the group.

Jones is chillin' in his single wide in a trailer park in Washougal. Like Russell, he's fond of using fake names to attack... and he's been Russell's political butt-boy inn the past. Oddly, he's using his employer's phone number as his contact number. I guess he can't afford a phone.

Now, this group CLAIMS they won't be receiving... or spending.... more then 5K. Well, considering that Russell will be doing his typically worthless consulting job, that he isn't being legally paid for any of this isn't surprising.

Russell, who's made up a poorly disguised PAC, has ILLEGALLY made himself involved with the Bang effort to use a write-in candidacy.

I say "illegally" because his involvement is no where to be seen... but he's out there.

And Russell ain't doing this for free.

I freely admit that I don't know Bang from Adam. But Jon Russell's involvement, the obvious coordination between Bang, Russell, and this "PAC", the illegal Bang web suite (You do have to list who paid for it) and the PDC scam ALL have Russell's modus operandi all over them... and if Bang is supported by Russell, that's all I need to know.

Vote for whoever else is running.

So... why is Jon Russell using the seal of the City of Washougal for political purposes?

2011-11-03T16:35:00.001-07:00

Russell's been running a couple of empty-suited sock-puppets to try and pack the council. From his "Community Page about Washougal, Washington" is first, his mug shot with the city seal on it, and then second, this:

Notice the Seal of the City of Washougal covering part of Russell's picture?

Kind of infers city approval for his babble.

And that's not right, is it?

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

2011-10-25T18:55:00.000-07:00

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]

2011-10-24T15:36:00.000-07:00

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.

12:16 PM

"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?

Jon Russell condemns the candidates he running to electoral death.

2011-10-24T10:06:00.000-07:00

Around these parts, few have the high degree of political leprosy exhibited by Jon Russell, failed congressional and state representative candidate, and lame duck city council member Russell, who is acting as the puppeteer in his efforts to take over the city government has condemned them to likely overwhelming defeat by his public endorsement.

Russell, a rank political liar with zero integrity, has endorsed his slate of four that he believes will do his bidding:

Russell, of course, is a pathological liar.

In his campaigns, he's lied, repeatedly, about his own identity, making up fake facebook identities, fake newspaper/blog commenting identities so he can attack those he opposes, even after being outed by his own wife; lied repeatedly, over a period of several months, EVEN AFTER BEING OUTED BY THE DEMOCRATIAN about his education. he's lied about his wife being a doctor. He lied about what "precincts he won" in Washougal as he was getting his ass kicked in the primary. He's lied about how much money he's raised for his campaigns.

He even lies about being a conservative, having worked VERY hard to ram tax increases down our throats by making 5 figure salaries in his efforts pass the Port Levy and the Library Levy. Major tax increases that no true conservative would ever support.

In fact, when it comes to his efforts to impress people, there's really damned little he HASN'T lied about.

As a Washougal city councilor, I recommend four candidates for the council. Caryn Plinski in Position 2 understands the need for economic growth through tourism and business recruitment and retention. Plinski’s a political outsider, quick study, and brings exceptional conflict-resolution skills to the table. Michael Delavar in Position 4 has a strong focus on protecting the taxpayers. Delavar’s differing points of view brings balance to any issue facing the city. Jennifer McDaniel in Position 5 is knowledgeable, considerate and focused; the steady hand our council needs. Connie Jo Freeman in Position 7 is a woman of action in regards to government spending and public safety. Freeman will put Washougal’s interests first.

Jon Russell
Washougal

And now, he's lying about those he supports. So MANY lies packed into so few words.

So, he recommends Plinski.

This is the same Plinski that's blown off every election since she arrived in Washougal except for two general elections. She hadn't even ATTENDED a COUNCIL MEETING, EVER, until September 19.

That means she has been completely unengaged politically... until Russell talked her into running.

And this pap:

understands the need for economic growth through tourism and business recruitment and retention. Plinski’s a political outsider, quick study, and brings exceptional conflict-resolution skills to the table.

According to who, besides a liar like Russell who would sell his own mother to get elected? Precisely WHAT demonstrates ANY of this? The fact that the woman sells make up?

What a complete, and utter lying moron.

Michael Delavar in Position 4 has a strong focus on protecting the taxpayers. Delavar’s differing points of view brings balance to any issue facing the city.

"Differing points of view" are Russell-speak for "because he agrees with me" his views "bring balance" (what the hell does THAT mean?)

And THIS beaut:

Connie Jo Freeman in Position 7 is a woman of action in regards to government spending and public safety. Freeman will put Washougal’s interests first.

Freeman is a school bus driver with a fake degree... the fake degree part being part and parcel of Russell's OWN politics.

Russell wants to become the defacto mayor by packing the council with his lackeys. Unfortunately for those he;'s endorsed, his endorsement is likely the end of their political careers.

Russell is radioactive. And anyone getting his endorsement should run in the opposite direction as fast as possible.

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

2011-10-21T11:43:00.000-07:00

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?

2011-10-21T09:54:00.000-07:00

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

272o

MAIN ST

WASHOUGAL

2004-NOV-02

1974-DEC-04

1998-DEC-05

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.

2011-10-20T15:05:00.000-07:00

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!

2011-10-17T23:39:00.000-07:00

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!

2011-10-14T21:35:00.001-07:00

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.

2011-10-11T10:01:00.000-07:00

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.
