Resistance See other Resistance Articles Title: Facts behind the curtain Facts behind the curtain Posted on November 13, 2015 by US~Observer Staff This is the first installment in a series. Related articles include “They escaped with their lives, but were then charged with murder;” “The conspiracy to frame James Faire;” and “Turning a blind eye to justice.” OKANOGAN COUNTY, Wash. — On June 19, Okanogan County, Washington, Sheriff Frank Rogers held a press conference to announce he had detained “squatters” who, after being confronted by the owner of a property in Tonasket, Washington, had intentionally run over a woman twice. That tale went viral in the drive-by media, incriminating James J. “Strat” Faire and Angelina M. Nobilis as a public relations exercise — in Okanogan, all over Washington, in newspapers and TV, and nationally via the Southern Poverty Law Center. And for 24 hours or so that story was believable for people ignorant of basic facts in the case — people like Rogers. But as evidence previously exposed by the US~Observer proves, there were no “squatters,” no one had been confronted by the property owner and no one was run over twice. But Rogers erred — not only because the evidence from which he worked had already been bungled and distorted by the Okanogan County Prosecutor’s brother, Kreg Sloan, but also because the actual events were intimately tied to a back story of financial fraud and collusion the detectives did not know and never bothered to investigate, even as prosecutor Karl Sloan’s narrative crumbled. The tale seemed to make sense, but every bit of it had been spun by a professional con artist. Her sting, in this case, resulted in her accidentally killing herself. Nevertheless, meticulous investigative reporting quickly uncovered the facts of a sloppy (and corrupt) police investigation that missed or distorted the truth. And the prosecutor has covered it up. Recently, blockbuster evidence surfaced, further exposing the back story of the scam. The players In order to understand the events at 36 Sourdough Road East on June 18, you need to understand that Rogers’ and the Sloan brothers’ tale was drawn from a professionally concocted sting staged with live actors by con artist Debra Lynn Long (aka Stuart, aka Emery, aka James) and her alleged partner. No, Long did not work alone and the alleged scam is ongoing. Although she was still married, Long was quietly engaged to her partner, Michael Fritch, with whom she lived in luxury accommodations in Loomis, California. Between August 2014, when friends found a sheriff’s sale notice on Michele St. Pierre’s door, and June 18, 2105 when Long lost her life, she and allegedly Fritch, by carefully spun deceptions, subordinated and used the four other players, George Abrantes, Michael St. Pierre, Ruth Brooks and Richard Finegold to accomplish her purposes and secure complete control of everything Michele St. Pierre had. The violence at Sourdough Road that killed Long is incomprehensible without the setup to that sting. The hook Long and Fritch, together, did a “land office” business in the wake of the U.S. foreclosure crisis of 2007 to 2008. They offered salvation to people who were losing their homes to bank foreclosures. At the end of September 2009, 14.4 percent of all U.S. mortgages were either delinquent or in foreclosure, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Among other things, there was an epidemic of fraudulent foreclosures by banks in financial trouble. According to Dan Santon of SeaTac, Washington, (whose home Long sometimes used as a mailing address), Long claimed she had saved “thousands” of people from foreclosure. We found otherwise. Banks and fraud We interviewed one person who faced fraudulent foreclosure tactics and found Fritch, who offered “strategies” and eventually introduced him to Long. Reportedly, this person ended up gradually paying out more than $25,000 to Fritch, Long and their associates at Fritch and Long’s instruction. At their instruction, this homeowner followed complex, time-consuming and legally ineffectual procedures, including putting the property in a “trust.” He eventually lost the title to the home even though he could absolutely prove foreclosure fraud. The plain fact of the matter is that putting your property “in trust” may successfully give away your control of it, but simply cannot protect it from a foreclosure already underway. It is ironic that her scams ended up killing her, because Long had perfected a “witchcraft” that both destroyed her victims and controlled her accomplices with poisonous lies. Why would four people falsely accuse Faire and Nobilis of theft or of squatting? Why would anyone swing a weighted chain, help surround their truck or violently attack them? Long’s lies, in this case about Faire and Nobilis, got people to do things that in other circumstances might seem unbelievable. —Doug Parris Note: Anyone with information about this case, Prosecutor Karl Sloan, Detective Kreg Sloan, George Abrantes, Ruth Brooks, Michael St. Pierre, Richard Finegold, Debra Long or Michael Fritch is urged to contact Edward Snook at 541-474-7885 or by email to editor@usobserver.com. We also need pictures of all of the above-mentioned people.

But anything that involves the Southern Poverty Law Center is disgusting to say the least. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
