An Old Etater Letter to the Editor

Dear editor,

The following is a letter I have written, it is intended for the Pocahontas Time and though I am confident I will be submitting it Monday morning I am not so confident that it will ever see the light of day in that particular newspaper.

My name is Edward Kellison. I am 67 years old. I moved to Pocahontas county WV from Bluegrass Va when I was 8 years old. I consider myself a lifelong resident of Pocahontas County though because through fishing, camping and hunting with my uncles and father, the greatest magority of my life has been spent right here: snuggled in the comforting breasts of the birthplace of rivers.

My love of Pocahontas County "home" is why I'm am writing this this early Friday morning. That same love is the reason I can't sleep tonight and should be the reason none of you reading this should be able to sleep. To get to the point of this all, I have sat by idly, a spectator of sorts. In my 67 years, I have never seen the amount of corruption and intentional misdoings from a small time, hick county government as is happening now and has been happening for the past 4 years.

"Home" has become a police state. Now, allow me to clarify, identify and define "police state" for those reading this that may not know what it means:

A police state is one in which the government exercises rigid and repressive controls over the social, economic, and political life of the population. A police state typically exhibits elements of totalitarianismand social control, and there is usually little or no distinction between the law and the exercise of political power by the executive.
The inhabitants of a police state experience restrictions on their mobility, and on their freedom to express or communicate political or other views, which are subject to police monitoring or enforcement. Political control may be exerted by means of a secret police force which operates outside the boundaries normally imposed by aconstitutional state. (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_state)

Does that sound familiar my friends and neighbors? People and their civil and constitutional rights being violated because they disagree of the seemingly money and ego driven agenda of the sheriff of Pocahontas county David Jonese and his band of thugs and brutalizers.

Folks, we have county residents being dragged from their homes in the middle of the night, being thrown in jail and being mistreated because they merely exercised their first amendment rights. They are being sought out and prosecuted time and again for matters that have been dismissed, dropped and found not guilty of. Jonese's administration has taken your first amendment rights away slowly and in a thuggery, obvious fashion.

As a matter of course, Mr. Jonese and his brutalizing posse's first agenda was removing the second amendment rights of many as well. This is the one you hunters, gun enthusiasts and those of you that believe you have a right to defend yourself and your family may want to pay attention to:

Within his first month in office, David Jonese successfully removed the duty arms from the Public Safety Officers at Snowshoe Mountain. Not the same thing as violating the second amendment rights you say? Because the officers were employees of a private company? You would be correct in one manner but, Jonese also informed the officers that possessed a concealed weapon permit (issued by the county) that if they were caught by him, any of his deputies or other Snowshoe employees carrying a personal arm or even having one in their personal vehicle that; they would be persecuted to the fullest extent of the law and any and all records of their permit would be destroyed thus prosecuting them with a felony gun charge. Think about that for just a minute.


The Norman Alderman arrest was the child of satire created by Higher Ground, a former "writer' on the previous site owned by Alderman; Etater.com. I truly believe that Higher Ground meant little harm with his "Crawling under windows (subtitled The Periscope Story) perhaps just sarcasm at best. While I disagree with his tactics and some of his political beliefs, he did not intend for Alderman to be arrested at midnight, his home searched, thrown in jail and abused by the Goon Squad. Without being redundant for the sake of redundant,  I'm compelled to remind you all that this series of ethical and constitutional violations were made possible by now lame duck Magistrate Kathy Beverage.


Kathy though, (not unlike Pamela Pritt) I believe was and is scared by the Jonese administration. Should they go against the Great High's wishes, they are putting themselves and their families in danger's way. They don't have the testicular fortitude it takes to stand up for what is right.

The Nasty Little Surprise David Fleming Had In Store for Greenbank

Defective Search Warrant

On or about 12 June of 2013,  Plaintiff Lorren Demotto unlawfully entered my property through my latched gate, past multiple “No Trespassing” signs, bearing a defective search warrant.  He claimed to be and to be acting as  an agent of the WV Division of Highways, and  made certain observations and expressed certain invidious personal opinions about my premises and possessions.

            He  correctly observed that the portion of my premises which he inspected was a mile or more (over 5,280 feet) from the  public road.

            On or about 10 September of the same year, he filed the instant false and malicious criminal complaint against me

Here's a sample of the invoices which the county has paid...

Here are some people's names to mention:  Cheryl Jonese,  Angela Lester, Teresa Teter,  Barry Sharp, Donald Sharp,  Drema Sharp,  and any of the other sheriff's aux who got paid by the county.

The county should have withheld tax on income and Social Security.

Also send this information which is from the Pocahontas County Clerk's Order Book:

 

Here's How to Collect Your Reward...

Look at the number of "contract" workers that the county has hired over the last four years or so.  And look at the number of people who have been doing "contract" work. Cheryl Jonese, Angela Lester, Dreama Sharp, Two Sharps, Barry Sharp, Teresa Teter and others. I figure it amounts to tens of thousands of dollars. Plus it goes back four years. The IRS pays a bounty for reports by citizens regarding this.  It is far more that merely the sheriff's aux.

Day Report has been using contracted services.  Contracted workers have been hauling prisoners, and managing the sheriff's office.  Some have been paid $40 per hour.
