Jimmy Dimora reacts after arraignment in federal court

We as a community have much more to learn, share and discuss about the take-down of local government finally upon us. From current reporting on Cleveland.com, it appears there are innumerable sitting judges, Cleveland city officials and other county officials, employees, appointees and contractors still to go down, along with a massive web of area businesspeople.

I proposed positive change to some of the officials who appear to be going down, and I was disappointed by my experiences working with them. So I have long considered the "County" corrupt... the "Democrats" corrupt. Based on my observations from the outside, we are just seeing the very beginning of the FBI actions against public and private parties here, and it seems things will get far worse before they get better - Jimmy DiMora and his goon squad will see to that, as demonstrated in the video above.

Having been through similar experiences in other communities around the country, I can say what we have here is not unique - is not the worst in the country, even - and the crimes reported so far are the least of real concerns to citizens... although they are all we will be publicly told. There are Fortune 500 executives and lawyers at top firms with fingers in all this, and worse. Seen their names yet?

And there are major outcomes of the corruption to be disrupted now, as citizens learn our taxes and trust have been abused - the MedCon, Gilbertopia and all Mall plans with the City of Cleveland are most obvious concerns... but don't forget about the Port, Community Partnership for Arts and Culture (cigarette tax), VA Pyramid-scheming (Tubbs-Jones sell-out of the world), the Landbank (a la Rokakis), the CDCs (a la Landbank), Opportunity Corridor (a la CDCs) and ODOT planning for the Innerbelt (a la all) - everything here is corrupt.

That Democratic leadership - and UNION leadership - allowed itself to fall so low here is despicable. I am personally offended, as I was supportive of Commissioner Jones and open with many Democratic leaders about how to make this a better community, and those leaders ultimately wasted my time, and abused my intellectual property. So I am far from sympathetic toward any Democratic leaders here, and I hope other honest business people treated poorly here take as great of offense, and action.

I have already contacted the replacement to Auditor Russo because I have proposed information technology solutions the county may use in the Auditor's office to leverage open source programming to save citizens money, fix information technology problems, and enhance county services. I hope other honest business people in the community will be as proactive to offer the new government leaders help, despite the abuse we have received by past government criminals.

We should get organized, to save the county, in support of whatever leadership and government processes are developed during the transitions ahead.

I do not see any candidates for County Executive or Council who will have real vision for how to save this region, or tools to save this region, and all they will have at their disposal will be a broken government and $ billions to spend fixing that. Let's make sure they spend the next $ billions well, and give them vision.

I'll be organizing IT folks - I suggest other honest business leaders take on the areas of government they know best. We'll figure out how to coordinate along the way - on realNEO for now.

Here's Jimmy Dimora, ever the consummate gentleman, flicking off WEWS' camera while in the back of the FBI's van this morning.

Right back at you, big fella.

Dimora's FU was at US....the citizens of Cuyahoga County....

When I saw that inexcusable middle finger on the news earlier....my first thought was that he was telling the public at large precisely what he thinks about us-the citizens of Cuyahoga County...

And then...Public Official 14 was revealed... and the reality of the little "calls" amongst folks that make the wheels of our world spin undeniably reeled in my brain... It's all about "WHO YOU KNOW IN CUYAHOGA COUNTY!" 

No one in this County deserves to put up with the Democratic Machine's monster(S).... I feel disgusted by the "ATTITUDE" that permeates the Democratic Party and the practices that they use to promote their "personal agendas".

The bottom line is that NEEDY/LOW INCOME QUOTAS DRIVE our government system locally.... More NEEDY PEOPLE = MORE FEDERAL FUNDS.....and PHILANTHROPIC FUNDS...to administratively top heavy organizations that thrive at the expense of the poor. Wolves in sheep's clothing...

I SAY THAT IT'S TIME FOR CUYAHOGA COUNTY CITIZENS TO EXERT THEIR INDEPENDENCE FROM THE DEMOCRATIC MACHINE AND BEGIN TO RECOGNIZE THE MOTIVES OF THE MACHINE OPERATORS BEFORE THEY VOTE IN THE UPCOMING NOVEMBER ELECTION....

I RAN AS AN DEMOCRAT BECAUSE "I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A DEMOCRAT!"

After this extraordinary experience as a "CANDIDATE"...and at this stage in life...I believe that our citizens deserve the best leadership available...

Everyone who is not confined to the limited thought of being a "DEMOCRAT" might wish to remember their alternative options or learn about them....

In November-we'll have GREEN PARTY, INDEPENDENT, DEMOCRATIC, AND REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES TO CHOOSE BETWEEN!

WILL YOU VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRAT JUST BECAUSE HE'S A DEMOCRAT OR BECAUSE THE MACHINE TOLD YOU TO VOTE FOR HIM? Or will you think twice about your choices? 

Recognizing that we have choices in alternative "PARTIES" and that those we trusted simply because they were
"ENDORSED BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTIES"...is a beginning to making the INDEPENDENT personal changes we might desire in the world around us.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY MEMBERS ARE A COLLUSIVE MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATION IN CUYAHOGA COUNTY THAT HAVE DEMOSTRATED ESSENTIAL INGREDIANTS TO THE DEMISE OF OUR DEMOGRAPHICS: 

When I think about the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party, I think about these things: 

A) DON'T VOTE FOR A CUYAHOGA COUNTY DEMOCRAT.

(Yes, I actually said that!) 

B) DISRUPT CORRUPTION.

C) DISCOVER THE TRUTH OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S PRACTICES INCLUDING: 

1) Denial of due process.

2) Denegrating the less than desirable folks.

3) Destroying the American Spirit of the public at large.

4) Denying equality in government contract bidding.

5) Disputing responsibility for their actions.

6) Discouraging public participation in our government processes.

7) Devouring the Pride of the NON CORRUPT with their dispicable attitudes.

8) Disdainfully demonstrating haughtiness in all of their actions.

9) Deriving riches from violating the public's trust in scandelous ways.

10) Dividing and Conquering the low income people.

11) Deferring the "CRAZY" folks who have known the truth for all to long! 

12) Demonizing the Citizen Activists.

13) Dealing in collusive, corrupt, and controlling methods.

14) Driving businesses out of the inner cities.

15) Draining small business investors with bribery.

16) Demeaning the truth seekers.

17) Depending on the public to remain inferior to their dispicable ways.

18) Dooming anyone who gets in their way.

19) Demanding more social injustice to sustain their own agendas.

20) Divisively talking down to those who are not part of their "club!"

I love the classic "CLASSISM" that drives politics....it's been the greatest pleasure ever contending with the candidates and an extraordinary learning experience....

I pray that our citizens see past the politics and ask yourself if you believe in the COMPASSION, CHARISMA, and CONSIDERATION of the remaining Candidates.... In the interim...I salute every citizen who encourages public participation in transparency and revealing the social injustices that have violated our community at large so that we may force leaders at all levels to dissolve corrupt practices and provide our public with healthy government reform that is by the people and for the people!!!!
