The Observation Deck

On December 21, 2015,O’Leary gave testimony under oath that the Master Agreement did not exist and Council did not secretly deliberate and decide on it. (See my bi-line below)

However, despite O’Leary’s efforts to conceal and hide evidence of his lies, numerous public records have been released conclusively proving:

1. O’Leary had at least 3 different drafts of the Master Agreement.

2. O’Leary and his council cohorts had in fact deliberated and agreed to the terms of the Master Agreement in secret meetings never noticed to the public.

So when the peacemakers tune their instruments and sing a plea for healing and community unity this holiday season, take a moment to reflect upon the premeditated and deliberate lying and concealment perpetrated by O’Leary upon the working class under served 2 years ago in the midst of that holiday season—all for his negative personal political gain.

O’leary stole the gift of healthcare and charity from the undeserved like the Grinch....and he just keeps on dividing the community by taking what he pleases.....

"Sam the Sham" must be held accountable.
If the little schemer is willing to lie so blatantly at his young age, imagine what damage he could do if every elected to federal office.
Scammers like Sammy and Tommy Bullock would be in Washington cutting backroom deals with every crooked lobbyist on K Street.

Careers like theirs need to be "nipped in the bud".

Politicians are often in politics for themselves and their own personal gain, not for altruistic reasons like serving their constituents. In fact, google “politician psychopath”and you’ll find numerous articles based on research that suggests successful politicians are often afflicted with anti-social tendencies. They appear charming, seem intelligent and even competent, and tell you what you want to hear - because they know how to get what they want.

Lakewood seems to be a breeding ground for such politicians - Bullock, O’Leary, Summers, and the big daddy Ed “Unsinkable” Fitzgerald.

Sorry, but...

I will, and God willing, I will always plan to tune my instrument and sing a plea for healing and community unity; this and every holiday season...

It's a tough job, I will admit at times, but somebody's gotta do it.

Back to the banjo...

Think of me with an electric guitar, a fuzz box, and an amplifier turned up to 11:
Is any of this actionable, politically or legally?

Back to the banjo...

AH....Mr. Rice,

Thank you for hearing and responding to my call for your help...and right on cue.

Keeping in mind that there can be no peace without justice and no justice without truth.....

As you strum your banjo and sing your healing tunes, I trust your lyrics will include words acknowledging the suffering of working class folks and others who have been intentionally hurt and confront those who caused that suffering.

As we approach the celebration of a birth, and remember why he was sent, we recall that he was a radical who confronted injustice and those that perpetrated it.

Merry Christmas!

AH, Mr. Essi...

Thank you for hearing and responding to MY call,...and right on cue.

Strumming for relief of suffering? You should know me on that topic. I always have, and God-willing, always will!

Y'know, some things, like conflict and fortunately, eventual resolution, seem timeless.. .

In 1863, discouraged by the loss of his wife in a tragic home fire, and by the wounding of his soldier-son who had been serving in the Union army in the Civil War, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was nonetheless inspired to write a stunningly hopeful poem that later became (with several beautiful different melodies) a beloved Christmas carol.

You speak of words...appropriate words? Here are those words, Mr. Essi...for you and for all of us in Lakewood, and in the world.

The ORIGINAL seven verses of the Longfellow poem: (Only five were eventually used in the carol)

I heard the bells on Christmas Day. Their old, familiar carols play,
and wild and sweet, the words repeat, of peace on earth, good-will to men!

And thought how, as the day had come, the belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song of peace on earth, good-will to men!

Till ringing, singing on its way, the world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, of peace on earth, good-will to men!

Then from each black, accursed mouth, the cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound, the carols drowned, of peace on earth, good-will to men!

It was as if an earthquake rent, the hearth-stones of a continent,
And made forlorn, the households born, of peace on earth, good-will to men!

And in despair I bowed my head; "There is no peace on earth," I said;
"For hate is strong, and mocks the song, of peace on earth, good-will to men!"

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The Wrong shall fail, the Right prevail, with peace on earth, good-will to men."

Back to the banjo...and Merry Christmas to all

I nominate Mr. Rice to play as members of the City Administration and Council are convicted and sentenced.

Ahh Mr. Rice,

As for healing,it is necessary for one to admit wrong doing and ask for forgiveness, at least that is what I was taught.
