š§µ I was always nice to this kid and worked with him equitably at the @MontereyHerald. Like 80% of the @mcweekly staff and owners he now blocked me here for telling the truth about 2014.
Steve Bernal's campaign blackmailed @phillipmolnar for some shit he did while at NYU.

The Steve Bernal campaign dug into every aspect of his life and found something that made Molnar (now at @sdut) feel vulnerable. Molnar backed off the campaign and turned a lot over to @anaceballos_ who was also a cub at the Herald - an aggressive one.

these two cub reporters along with @Calkins_Royal (@JoeLivernois was laid off in 2012 and went to later work for a non-profit in #Salinas the. later helped start @VoicesofBay) were laid off in late 2014. @mcweekly's Mary Duan offered both Molnar and Ceballos a job, Molnar

wisely turned @maryrduan down, @anaceballos_ took the job because there was nothing else out there for her. Ceballos later lands a job in Florida with @AP covering ... politics.
Ceballos, like @sarahayleyrubin, looked at Duan in some mythical way - like Duan was all knowing.

A <<LOT>> or seriously dirtbag and criminal issues came up while Bernal was being foisted on the MoCo community. It involved:

ā¢ Democrats (Panetta, Farr, Huerta)

Fast forward to 2020-2022, I find out following an @FBI probe that bribery is taking place in MoCo cannabis and it involves MANY tier 1 people in the county. (@JeanninePacioni). I give that information to the feds and @MCoSheriff, @SalinasPD and District Attorney's office.

In the meantime after I gave @Calkins_Royal the Mike Hackett cocaine trafficker story (published at @voicesofbay) Mary Duan, the then editor of the @mcweekly, starts a war. She rips Calkins a new asshole demanding to know if I told him about Hackett. Calkins lies to Duan &

In between all that Duan told me the latest gossip about MCSO which I knew she was getting directly from Joe Moses, John Thornburg, Mark Caldwell and SPD's Kelly McMillin.
It's all very sleazy.

Our free press didn't want to operate in the light of day, under absolute public scrutiny.
That's how far down our local press has fallen @cmarinucci. The same people who glossed over @JerryBrownGov's pardon.

Meanwhile privately @calkins_royal tells Duan she has "lost her way" after Duan endorsed Moses rather than a first female outsider with @LAPDHQ chops working as a Chief in @MarinaPD1. @TinaForSheriff. Someone I will support.

This is a very small community and I have seen many of these scumbags around town. I've seen Duan and her moronic husband at various places, Oldtown Farmers market, Star Market grocery store, etc. and have had zero interactions with them despite their bizarre glaring.

Not one instance have I ever railed against them in public or said any words to them. To me these people are pathetic and undeserving of my time. In 2020 when Duan started her shit talking I blocked her phone on my phone - she could not contact me and I could not contact her

"privately" The purpose was two fold. I not longer had a business relationship with Duan. Second, it prevented any sort of private conversation or claim by her that I harassed or bothered her. I did all my discussion on a published public blog. Duan is a false allegation

Unfortunately for them, some of us will not let Democracy slide any further and will call that out.
