Here is what happened for those following along the saga of failed journalism in my small 420,000 total population County.

When Mary Duan tried to bury a story about a cocaine trafficker's appellate loss, I gave the story to @Calkins_Royal. When Duan found out Calkins was on
2/

the story (who told Duan), she calls @Calkins_Royal and rips him a new asshole because for those who don't know Mary Duan is the Big B of MoCo fmr. journalists. A little Chicago transplant with all that implies.

Calkins then calls me and tells me Duan is really pissed at
3/

yours truly, @alllocalpolitic.

This is exactly what I told @Calkins_Royal over the phone:

"So".

Calkins then says "I thought you and Mary were friends"

This is exactly what I told Calkins:

"We were never friends we were friendly. For me it's business Royal, I like you
4/

and Julie Reynolds because you two are two of the best journalists we had going but Duan does not matter to me. Her lying is interesting though"

Calkins replied:

"yeah, I can't understand why she would write the story. I get that she is friends with Hackett but you still
5/

write the story, you just don't twist the knife."

AND this is how this has devolved into @VoicesofBay Joe Livernois going on a micro slander run (he has no audience) or Duan, or Kimbley Craig who reached out to my brother in law, Bob Eggers a former commander with @SalinasPD
6/

Kimbley Craig asked mg brother in law, @SalinasPD's Bob Eggers if he would ask me to go easy on this blog with certain public officials. She specifically mentioned John Phillips to Eggers.

My brother in law is a former elected official with @salinascityesd. @MelendezSalinas
7/

and Eggers received $5,000 from Salinas Valley Leadership Group, as I discussed with @MelendezSalinas when she was at the @MontereyHerald.

(this isn't a burn on Claudia this is laying a record for those dim bulbs who don't know why a record is important - court)
8/

@MelendezSalinas remembers exactly what we discussed regarding SVLG and Eggers last run for re-election on @salinascityesd.

But @VoicesofBay said something or other about my not mentioned my political family? I got my brother in law into politics. 😂

Joe Livernois spiked a story I gave the @VoicesofBay co-founder a story in 2000. @CityofSalinas was rigging promotional exams for @chief_filice @SalinasPD which led to the promotion of losers like Cassie McSorley. Cassie had been looked at because she was a @Kelly_McMillin. Dunce

So this is the story (I wonder if that weirdo Joe Livernois remembers @MelendezSalinas because I still have the documents) - Salinas was set on promoting the worst cops in the 90's and 00's because of @CASenCaballero politics.

Cassie McSorley was a Sgt. at the time and test

for a promotion to Lt. (McSorley). The contract with @SalinasPolice and the mgmt. arm SPMA called for A band testers to be considered. B band was only considered if there were no A band testers and C band was a fail. No one was to be picked from C band.

Cassie tests and

Who owned cityofsalinas.com, cityofsalinas.org and cityofsalinas.net before the @CityofSalinas?

I did. It's a long story but I registered the domain names as a clever way to call for the firing of a corrupt city manager, Dave Mora.

Salinas sued me and lost.
2/

I sued the @CityofSalinas for violating my First Amendment Rights and won. Salinas then paid me $5,000 for the domain names after spending $50,000 in legal fees - to lose.

@Kelly_McMillin was a beat cop then with his head still suck up his ass.

@JoeLivernois wrote the fucking story. Livernois told me Christine Davi (then a Salinas asst City Attorney later to become @CityofMonterey's actual city attorney) called Livernois to complain about his wording in his article. Livernois then told me Christine Davi was a dolt

It's just like @Kelly_McMillin to endorse a crooked cop who has been investigated on multiple occasions by @PacificGrovePD for Domestic Violence.

Duan confirmed publicly that Joe Moses was one of her sources. I contend that Moses was also a source for Duan while Miller was Jefe.
2/

Disclose the email between yourself and @maryrduan, @Calkins_Royal. It's now or never.

Because Duan is outing her sources. You know who else she outed?

Mark Caldwell. The narc with past IRS liens while he was tasked with the @DEAHQ in San Jose. I know because

after Ricky Cabrera's illegal marijuana grow was discovered in the 800 block of W Market Street a few years ago, I picked up Duan at her house and we drove over to the grow - which was still growing because @SalinasPD officer Gabe Carvey LEFT BEHIND - and we she messaged

When is that lowlife former police chief @Kelly_Mcmillin, the guy who was so bold to publicly attack a terminally obese journalist w/ zero friends & less money, going to endorse Joe Moses like the woman who once worked for the @mcweekly - as a journalist.

McMillin is a pussy.
2/

Oh wait a minute, @Calkins_Royal. Did you see that corrupt former @SalinasPD chief @Kelly_McMillin also endorsed Joe Moses?

Holy shit. How crooked was Kelly, @JohnCarloMurray. It's like I heard you say one time. You work with a lot of people who have no integrity. (sorry J)

REMINDER

Salinas PD's JOE GUNTER wrote a letter for a COCAINE TRAFFICKER Mike Hackett a letter of reference on @CityofSalinas in 2018, the same year @JerryBrownGov pardoned @DavidDr34643165. Another @Kelly_McMillin buddy - a cocaine and heroin addicted narco trafficker.

Thank you for that reminder. Maybe all the journalists who were busy defaming you in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 will be held accountable for this level of deceit they foisted on our community!

@OakMorr did you hear this one? Mary Duan who hat tipped you
2/

for mentioning a story she feverishly pumped, the @PacificGrovePD "three percenter sticker" where she and the @mcweekly crew worked that piece like the (minority) cop was public enemy number one, endorsed a crooked cop.

Fun fact he wasn't. But PG needed to appease the Weekly
3/

And my cop friends and I have been talking about it all day.

... honestly, underwhelming ⁦@Calkins_Royal⁩. You guys sent Moses a questionnaire?

Where are the ⁦@PacificGrovePD⁩ reports? Those reports are a public record worth looking at ...

This is what MARY DUAN had a conniption fit over?

Perhaps it's time for Mary Duan and @Calkins_Royal to release their emails on the subject - since they took it public but didn't put on any light.

4 Domestic Violence calls?
3/

and yet @Calkins_Royal you believe it is fine for Mary Duan to allude to having read the reports (of course she had, Joe Moses has been her source since Scott Miller was Sheriff. Moses was Sheriff Scott Miller's snitch 😂)
