Our friend Jason Young, who gave so much grief to Anaheim’s kleptocracy from around 2012-14, is suddenly back and more productive than ever – Kleptoscribe Matt Cunningham even noticed and dusted off his 2012 character assassination of Jason. Congratulations Jason – that means you hurt them! And look at how Jason does it – just watch this masterpiece. Six years of Orange Juice posts condensed (slightly simplified as one might expect in a short animation) into 90 easy-to-swallow seconds…
Bound to truth, and using our own names, that is as vicious as us rebels can get. But the other side, with their unlimited laundered funds and absolute lack of conscience, is infinitely less constrained than us. We’ve been keeping track of many of the Disney/SOAR/Chamber/kleptocracy lies, but yesterday they absolutely outdid themselves with a lying mailer we COULD NEVER HAVE EXPECTED – tarring Councilman Moreno, longtime advocate for immigrants, as some anti-immigrant Trumpie, in Spanish. As they say in that beautiful language, Mira no mas…
No time to figure out who Covina’s “Protect Local Jobs” PAC is, and who gives to them – this crazy mailer is to the benefit of Mitch Caldwell, so I hold it against him unless he denounces it. Their aim is to keep us dizzy with the nonstop unpredictable lies. But this one may very well BACKFIRE – it totally justifies Dr. Moreno calling a PRESS CONFERENCE, which he is TODAY at 3 – in front of City Hall – bilingually, for Univision, Telemundo, and all the other Spanish-language media. Without this there wouldn’t be such a justification – now that’s making lemonade! I hope he calls out some of the Kleptos’ other lies. Here’s a preview in Spanish:
Un mensaje para nuestra comunidad debido a las mentiras que estan circulando sobre mi. Yo siempre eh apoyado y seguire apoyando a nuestra comunidad inmigrante. No dejaremos que la oposicion le mienta y espante a nuestra comunidad por sus intereses politicos. ¡Adelante juntos!
Posted by Dr. Jose F Moreno for Anaheim City Council District 3 on Tuesday, October 30, 2018
Oh, now you want to hear lies or other interesting sleazy news from the other Anaheim races?
In District 2, I’ve already been telling you how kleptocrat Jordan Brandman, who seems to prefer to spread his lies by the cheap, old-school, labor-intensive method of whispering them to everybody individually, has been claiming falsely that his rival James Vanderbilt is a spoiled “trust fund baby,” that a respected Republican lady has been telling everyone not to vote for him because he’s a “gay Jew”, and that Vanderbilt refuses to debate him – which Vanderbilt and Duane Roberts most emphatically WANT to do.
I have some strange news regarding District 6 (the Hills) – it seems the Kleptocracy can’t choose between Republican Trevor O’Neil and Democrat Grant Henninger (whom I always had a bad feeling about.) Disney/SOAR has been pouring their hundreds of thousands into Trevor, but the Republican Lincoln Club confused everybody the other day with a large donation to Democrat Grant (along with Mayor Harry.) I guess this confirms the only acceptable candidate being Tom Tait’s friend Patty Gaby. [See discussion in comments – it looks like they are actually trying to get Dems to vote for Grant instead of Patty, to help Trevor because they don’t think Grant could win.]
And speaking of Harry Sidhu, at last night’s debate our friend Cynthia Ward made a fool of him for not knowing anything about Anaheim’s public utilities or how long we’ve had them (he gave credit to the Almighty Disney for our low rates.) Said Cynthia, “You’d think somebody running for mayor would KNOW that.” Again, mira no mas…
Carry on…
UPDATE – Today’s press conference …
and we’re zeroing in on the people responsible for the “Anti-Immigrant Jose” mailer
Prepare for a big surprise!!!
Wow, the Grinning Assclown tops himself again.
BTW, folks “Public-Private Partnerships” or P3 as it is known in the backroom is code for: the public assumes all the risk and the private sector blood sucker takes the profit. It is now the favored concept promulgated by Pringlecorp®/OC Tax smash n’ grab club.
If you’d like to see a close-to-home example, go look at Pringle’s ARTIC fiasco.
“Anaheim would be nothing!”
Sounds like someone who really values the contributions of 340,000 residents to the city’s culture, identity, and value.
Yes, but I believe it is his heartfelt sentiment. His type is only able to see monied interests as having any value.
You have to admit, though — no candidate is better positioned than Harry to give Anaheimers “a chicken in every pot” — and then charge their children and grandchildren ten times the price for it.
I’m trying to imagine how happy Cynthia must have been in that moment. Difficult to overestimate.
Speaking of Shidhu, I got a robocall today from Nick Berardino going after hairball for masquerading as a military veteran.
I sure wish OCEA had done that in a mailer. That would have been instant game-over. I bet Pringle & Friends are still waiting for that to drop.
Greg, oddly enough I was NOT happy at having Sidhu underhand-toss that little softball to me. As long as there is ANY chance of that man being our next Mayor, it frankly just scared the Hell out of me that he knows so little about how things work and what makes the machine function.
Ryan, you are correct, he has indeed written off the contributions of the hundreds of thousands of everyday folk who represent the 95% of Anaheim that is NOT the Resort. Our contributions to the rich tapestry of Anaheim are clearly not the right kind of contributions to gain his attention or respect.
Someday, after the election, I am likely to go back over the videos of these forums and properly enjoy them, but only AFTER my beloved hometown has been safely set outside the reach of this empty name plate seeking a title to glue onto the front. Vern, thanks for catching that footage. Classic Sidhu.
Follow up. The Assistance League gave us the questions in advance, and Harry was reading from a script (as Ms. Galloway also does during these events) so this was Harry’s answer based on thoughtful consideration with time to review his words, not winging it when someone threw him a hardball like Baugh asking about defined contribution vs defined benefit pensions. Not that any of us recall that classsic moment. May God help us if he is elected. Now how about helping a lady out and volunteering for me during this upcoming last weekend to push toward the election.
Maybe the GOP (all of the GOP) will finally accept that the City of Anaheim isn’t a institution with the sole purpose of hosting a Chamber of Commerce.
Stating that he city would be “last in everything” without monied interests should permanently disqualify Sidhu from office.
Ryan, agreed. Harry asks what are the pillars of Anaheim, and skips over our greatest treasure. Our people. I’ve been knocking on a lot of doors, and nobody has threatened to leave Anaheim because we aren’t offering enough subsidies to big corporations. But plenty of residents are talking about leaving because we have neglected our neighborhoods to invest in the projects Harry cites as “pillars” of our community. So for those who want more of the same, vote for Harry. Those who want a Mayor who sees those enterprise assets as tools to generate revenue to benefit the neighborhoods should please consider Ward for Mayor next week.
In a city run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: Not necessarily to Win, but mainly to keep from Losing Completely…. The Swine are gearing down for a serious workout this time around… So much, then, for The Road — and for the last possibilities of running amok… Well, at least, I’ll know I was there, neck deep in the madness, before the deal went down, and I got so high and wild that I felt like a two-ton Manta ray jumping all the way across the Bay of Bengal.
That is it in a nutshell.
Thanks HT
Preparing my fix, stabilize the mind, keep from going mad, gotta go.
Damn, I knew it was Hunter Thompson before you hit Swine.
Grant Henninger was not endorsed by the Lincoln Club and has accepted no money from them. That was his opponent. Please correct the record.
I’ll be back shortly with documentation. If you’re right, a lot of conservative Republicans are having a fit over nothing…

Okay, not an endorsement, but they gave him several thousand dollars. After receiving the following funds to be laundered, from:
Stovall Inn $37000
Annabella Hotel $25,000
Good Hope $25000
Prospera $37,000
Michael Hayde $49,000
Vern, the Lincoln Club hasn’t given my campaign a dime. They paid for a mail piece that attacked Patty in order to help Trevor win. They have no interest in helping me, they’re just using me to ensure Patty doesn’t pick up enough Democratic votes to beat Trevor.
Same with the mail pieces that were paid for through Citizens for Anaheim’s Future. Those are to hurt Patty more than to help me. Disney, SOAR, and the Republican establishment don’t think I’m a threat to Trevor because they don’t believe that any Democrat can win in District 6.
“…they’re just using me to ensure Patty doesn’t pick up enough Democratic votes to beat Trevor.”
Thanks, Grant, that makes sense of it. And I guess John Lewis (a Gaby backer) can still be upset about that.
It sounds like how the OCEA is secretly funding pro-Cynthia mailers, to Republicans, to hurt Harry and help Ashleigh.
I just keep getting tips from Anaheim Voters Against Kleptocracy’s star researcher Daniel Robbins, and not knowing what to do with them all yet. From today:
1. Brandman is paying [campaign manager whose father-in-law Jordan hired as City Attorney] Fierro boatloads of money this cycle. Fierro is also being paid boatloads of money by Caldwell.
2. Sidhu seems to have been removed from all board positions of S R H Management INC in 2006 by his brother. He was never reappointed to any of those positions, and his brother is the only director listed for all positions on the 2017 filing.
3. Every hotel other than Disney is donating $49,500 to multiple PACs so that they don’t get slapped on the mailers as a major funder.
4. The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce is proving to be nothing more than a tool for the Resort. Anaheim residents shouldn’t want our tax dollars to fund the Chamber, which they will if the Resort candidates take power again.
5. If STRs (Short Term Rentals) matter to District 3, the owners are all donating to Caldwell now.
6. Curt Pringle is back! With Citizens For Anaheim’s Future PAC (see Grant Henninger’s comment above.) They’re the ones who are sending pro-Henninger ads to Hills Democrats to make sure they don’t vote for Patty Gaby. AND the only PAC trying to beat Ryan Ruelas, on behalf of Pringle’s beloved Charter Schools.
The PAC funding is $500 from Pringle. Then like $98,000 more from the same hoteliers that are giving to the Sidhu PACs. All of that $ came in on the same day btw. I’d guess Pringle met with some of them and was like “hey let me help you” and thus it was done. (The Lincoln Club is pursuing the same strategies as this PAC.)
This just mailed out from Dr. Moreno:
