LIES, INACCURACIES, AND EXAGGERATIONS: Many of you know activist blogger Erica C. Barnett(@ericacbarnett) blocked me on twitter last year after I punched back and called her out for shoddy reporting. But she continues to play CHEAP and takes shots at me publicola.com… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
FALSE REPORTING: Barnett starts off the piece by referencing my firing from KOMO last year by saying I encouraged viewers to come to a rally held by the Proud Boys. I never did that in person or on any of my social media platforms. And my coverage never even aired on KOMO. She… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
ENTIRE PAPER TRAIL: On Wednesday March 8, I reached out to Kirkland media contact Sue Romero and told her I would show up. Prior to this email, I never met Sue in my life. So I gave her some background on my work. Under my current media fellowship at … twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
RSVP: Here’s the proof @kirklandgov gave me permission to attend the presser.
MORE INACCURACIES: If Barnett’s reporting wasn’t so lazy, she could have simply Googled my name and found my by-line @millcreekview. I’m also a regular contributor and collaborator with the @LynnwoodTimes, most recently covering the opioid clinic saga with publisher and owner… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@millcreekview@LynnwoodTimes MY BY-LINE AT MILLCREEK VIEW: The publisher and owner of this Snohomish County newspaper also vouches for me and credits me for being a vital part of the team. Email included. @millcreekview
MY PARTNERSHIP WITH LYNNWOOD TIMES: I worked side by side with @lynnwoodtimes and Mario Lotmore on several stories and plan to do even more collaborations. I was primarily responsible for the paper's video coverage on this initial report.
LYNNWOOD TIMES DOUBLING DOWN: Publisher and owner of the @LynnwoodTimes doubling down again this afternoon, vouching for my partnership with his Snohomish County paper. @ericacbarnett never called Millcreek View(@millcreekview) or Lynnwood Times. Would have saved her from the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
MORE EXAGGERATIONS AND INACCURACIES: After the encounter in Kirkland, I did not produce a story for this event and none of this made it on to Discovery Institute platforms. I only released a video showing my encounter with Kirkland’s media handler. And once again, my firing from… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
WHAT I ACTUALLY POSTED FROM KIRKLAND: Last week, I told you about a press conference I attended at Kirkland City Hall. Multiple elected officials including Governor Jay Inslee(@GovInslee) and King County Executive Dow Constantine(@kcexec) spoke at the … twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
JUST GOOGLE IT: Once again, Erica C. Barnett(@ericacbarnett) needs a primer on how to use Google. She closes out her hit piece by referencing my exclusive story about 15 year old Marcelles Orr, the young man who chased me with an axe in downtown Seattle in January. What she fails… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
SHE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF VIDEO: Erica C. Barnett(@ericacbarnett) has failed to transition into the digital age or understand how video now drives all conversations. But this grandma does. That’s why she told me to show everything. Btw, Marcelles is safe and remains… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
YOU BE THE JUDGE: Do you think I intentionally go after the FAR-LEFT activists, or do you think they come after me? 🙃 Video don't lie Erica. @ericacbarnett
IN CLOSING: Well, that's 45 minutes of my life I'm not getting back after writing this thread. 😅
Bottom line, I have produced all the concrete evidence to refute virtually every key allegation in her piece. I stand by everything I have said and I have the truth on my side.
It's… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
SOME OF MY OTHER BY-LINES AND CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THIS PAST YEAR:
Looks like King County activist judge Veronica Galvan is celebrating a banner year of releasing violent offenders.
Last month she allowed Millorz Canales to be on home detention even though prosecutors wanted him to remain behind bars.
Several days later, he allegedly went on a rampage, tying a 14 year old to a tree, stabbing him multiple times, cutting out his organs, and leaving him to die.
Canales was arrested again and is now facing new charges.
So who’s holding Galvan accountable for her troubling decisions on the bench?
BREAKING: Criminal squatter Steve Hickey just filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, hoping to shield himself from paying back hundreds of thousands of dollars in back rent, and eviction from a Ravensdale property. His house of cards is finally starting to crumble.
🧵👇
In court documents, he only claims to have $50K or less in assets.
But in this recent video, Hickey boasts about making tons of cash as a social media influencer through social media revenue, sponsorships, and licensing deals with tv stations. By my estimate, Hickey likely clears more than $200K a year.
Thousands of illegals are being transported through Seattle's King County Airport. Many will be deported.
I started documenting. But far-left activists with La Resistencia tried to disrupt my coverage. Problem for them, they don't know the law.
The woman trying to disrupt my coverage is Maru Mora-Villalpando with La Resistencia. Her group sent out an error riddled press release about this incident with zero evidence to back up their claims. Why does the far-left activist class get so triggered by the truth?
Pt.1
I was on assignment for Frontlines TPUSA. I showed them my press credentials. But they still blocked me until King County Sheriff's showed up and scolded the activists. They had to let me in since it's a public space. 🤣
Pt.2
HAPPENING NOW: Just got off the phone with Katrina Freitag, the Ravensdale homeowner who obliterated Steve Hickey in court and now has legal authority to boot this squatter from her property. She feels vindicated by this outcome but says Hickey is known as a conman for a reason.
She's afraid he might try to find a legal loophole and lie about his circumstances to delay, delay, delay.
For now, she is in the process of notifying King County Sheriff's Office and deputies could be physically removing him in the coming days. At this point, it is in Hickey's best interest to leave on his own.
🧵👇
PART 1:
Here is the summary judgement against Steve Hickey. He lied to all his supporters, his reputation is in ruins, and more importantly, the judge says the property belongs to Katrina Freitag.
PART 2:
Basically, Hickey was in a rent to own situation and put in hundreds of thousands of dollars of his own money. But he defaulted on payments and lost out on his ability to buy the Ravensdale house outright from the former owner Lee Strom.
EXCLUSIVE: In February I exposed a nightmare of drugs, crime, chaos, and death inside some of Plymouth Housing's taxpayer funded apartments for the homeless. But their leaders ignored all my questions about accountability. So I confronted them at their annual gala and they ran.🧵
Why are @amazon, @Microsoft, @Starbucks, @DeltaDentalWA, @pagliaccipizza, @AvalonBay, @Goodman_RE, and Brettler Family Foundation funding meth pipes and drug supplies in Plymouth Housing facilities without any requirements to get addiction treatment?
I've also obtained hundreds of 911 call logs to the newest Plymouth Housing facility in Bellevue that opened at the end of last year. Same problems including deaths, drug overdoses, and crime. I was recently accosted by a resident.
I will be launching that story in the coming weeks.
BREAKING: An absolutely devastating blow to King County Executive Dow Constantine(@kcexec) and Sheriff Patti-Cole Tindall. A judge tossed their lawsuit against the city of Burien that questioned the constitutionality of the city's public camping ordinance. Right after today's decision, Mayor Kevin Schilling spoke to me about the implications. 🧵👇
Now that King County has been ordered to enforce the camping ban, it's still unclear when officers will start sweeping encampments. Making matters worse for King County, Burien is still suing for breach of contract and that's winding it's way through the courts.
After this massive loss, Constantine's leadership, reputation, and legacy on addressing the homeless crisis is cooked.
At this point, his "Housing First," "harm reduction," and no sweeps policies must be further questioned and scrutinized. His alignment with far-left ideology has decimated the community he is supposed to serve. @kcexec
