OSBI Confirms Court & DA Concealed Records

8/21/2023

0 Comments

 

The article published today by V1SUT Vantage is shocking. In 2023 Americans daily see a two-tier justice system in many Democrat Party controlled cities, but this story proves a multi-tier justice system in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Apparently, courthouse officials hide “Alphabet Mafia Crime.”

Bartlesville, in Washington County, is a beautiful small city nestled in the rolling hills of Northeast Oklahoma. It enjoys an upper middle-class lifestyle made possible for decades by corporate giant ConocoPhillips. This unique progressive community heralds the Price Tower (a Frank Lloyd Wright 19-story landmark), OK Mozart, thriving artistic outlets and many Christian Congregations.

They also have an active, if not militant, LGBT community that has embedded key players into the power structure of the court system and elected public office. They have generated national publicity for using courts to silence opposition to public drag shows that allow attendance by minor children.

V1SUT Vantage writes, “Across America, the quality of life for all has been eroded as activist courts and district attorneys now regularly disregard law in favor of equity. Bartlesville, Oklahoma is no exception. In fact, this district court appears to have adopted the DC Deep State’s pattern of distorting law and misusing power to reward their friends and punish their ideological opposition.

“[V1SUT Vantage] recently exposed the dangerous overlaps within the area’s systems tasked with both the care of foster children and victims of child sexual abuse. Common players and conflicts of interest among three non-profits involved with LGBT advocacy (Oklahomans for Equality/OKEQ), ‘inclusive’ foster parent recruitment (The Village Fosters) and the forensic examination of victimized children (Ray of Hope) raised serious concerns about child safety, use of taxpayer funds and the integrity of the area’s criminal justice system.”

Drummond South Ranch for Sale

8/21/2023

0 Comments

 

It is a stunning property, huge, historic, and owned by the family of Oklahoma’s current Attorney General, but why, after 100 years, would it go up for sale? Some speculate the McGirt Decision or the new feature movie, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” may have come into consideration. Others suggest it is economics or aging leadership or could it be politics? Over 8,000 acres are under fence, just a thirty-minute drive from Tulsa.

From ethics reports, Attorney General Gentner Drummond loaned his campaign millions. In Oklahoma, you can earn 10% on that money as it may be paid back from contributors, but that is a lot of money out-of-pocket by any standard. Is this property sale to pay campaign debt or finance a bid for governor?

AG Drummond was the beneficiary of dark money with tribal connections and outright donations from tribal leaders. Is it possible that from his personal perspective, the McGirt Decision may return ownership of land to native tribes? That happened in South Africa where land owned for generations by farmers was given to native people once the South African Courts got involved. Is all Northeast Oklahoma, to say nothing of Tulsa, at risk? Does the family see writing on the wall?

Drummond’s Blue Sky Bank has affection for the cannabis industry. The Substack, V1SUT Vantage wrote during the campaign, “Gentner Drummond’s BlueSky Bank makes a bundle financing cannabis and handling funds derived from a federally illegal industry that more discerning banks won’t touch.” A second story from the same source raises additional concerns in its “How to Steal a State” series.

The Drummond family has numerous other apparently successful businesses. From all appearances, you would think revenue is rolling in volume. Marketing, media, and public imaging have never been an issue. Could there be a dispute within the family? Why would you give up 100 years of history?

The notice for sale from Hall and Hall begins, “The Drummond South Ranch, with over 8,418.01 acres in total under fence with a mix of 6,848.26± deeded acres and the balance of land leased from various neighbors, is now offered for sale after being owned by the same family for nearly 100 years. Frederick Drummond operated the ranch for nearly 50 years, eventually passing it along to his children. This scenic working cattle ranch is located nearly 20 miles northwest of Tulsa on a direct line, sits right above Keystone Lake, and is around three miles southwest of Skiatook Lake. One can see downtown Tulsa from several of the high points on the ranch.

“This ranch is made up of the rolling hills covered with the typical species of native tall grasses, in addition to the abundant stands of trees that dominate this sector of the Cross Timbers ecoregion. Numerous draws run throughout the ranch. Several of those draws at times can have water backed up in them from Keystone Lake during periods of high flows from the Arkansas River that feeds Keystone Lake.

“The ranch has been operated over the last 100 years by the same family as a working cattle ranch and was typically running around 600 head of mother cows and calves annually. However, the general location of this Drummond South Ranch, with its proximity to Keystone and Skiatook Lakes, and the short drive to the Tulsa Metroplex, it’s become obvious that this land is moving in a transitional path that looks to be headed way beyond cattle ranching. This large landholding is nearly impossible to duplicate because of its unmatched location. The incredible proximity to Tulsa, Keystone Lake, and Skiatook Lake are just a few of the high points. The rolling hills of tall grass, the timbered areas full of blackjack and post oak trees, and the deep draws are home to an assorted wildlife population. The views from various high points on the ranch are stunning.”

Other speculation aside, it may just be time for the family to harvest equity. Click here for more from the notice of property for sale. It can be yours for only $18,838,215.00, wildlife included.

Intensive Ivermectin: 74% Lower Deaths

8/20/2023

0 Comments

 

Analysis: A new peer-reviewed study published by Cureus (Part of Springer Nature Group) August 8 found a 74 percent reduction in excess deaths in 10 states in Peru with the most intensive ivermectin use over a 30-day period following peak deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is contrary to past public health official assertions for treatment.

When ivermectin was available without restriction, there was a fourteenfold reduction in nationwide excess deaths. Once access to ivermectin was restricted by the government, a thirteenfold increase in excess deaths was observed in the two months following the limitation of its use. The findings align with summary data from the World Health Organization for the same time period in Peru.

Ivermectin is a widely known and inexpensive treatment against parasitic diseases. Scientists believe the drug can alsobind to the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, limiting its morbidity and infectivity.

Click here for more in a report from The Epoch Times.

Further, it should be noted that American medical schools did not immediately publish treatment protocols during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Narrative driven legacy media asserted a vaccine was the only answer. Any critic of that narrative was ridiculed and derided.

Increasingly detailed research from multiple sources show public health authority a failure to provide treatment while telling those suffering with COVID-19 to “stay home until it gets bad, then come to the hospital and we will put you on a ventilator,” may have led to the unnecessary death of tens-of-thousands of Americans.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who is slandered by those calling him an “anti-vaxer” when he supports vaccines which are scientifically tested and when producers are not given blanket immunity from product liability, wrote a stunning book titled, “The Real Anthony Fauci” published in 2021.

Christiane Northrup, MD, former assistant clinical professor of Ob/Gyn, University of Vermont College of Medicine wrote about the book, “If you’ve ever wondered why so many good scientists and doctors have been silenced for discoveries that don’t fit the mainstream Big Pharma narrative, look no further than Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s tour de force expose’ of Anthony Fauci.

Newshounds will remember that Sen. Rand Paul sent, at the end of July, an “official criminal referral” on Anthony Fauci to the Department of Justice at the end of July. Not that Attorney General Merrick Garland would do his job, but maybe his replacement will.

Regardless, there is a growing consensus that the entire shameful history of this worldwide public health panic over COVID-19 be fully disclosed to the public in a “Nuremburg” style trial.

A movie has been made on the book and the trailer follows:

OU gets national attention wrong

8/19/2023

0 Comments

 

The University of Oklahoma recently made national news—for the wrong reasons.

An investigation by The Wall Street Journal found that some of the United States’ best-known public universities “have been on an unfettered spending spree” with the bill “passed” on to students—and OU was identified as one of the worst offenders.

Between 2002 and 2022, the Journal found enrollment at OU increased 15 percent, but tuition increased by 36 percent even after adjusting for inflation. And, once student fees were included, the combined rate of growth was even more dramatic.

“At the University of Oklahoma, per-student tuition and fees rose 166%, the most of any flagship,” the Journal reported.

During that time OU spent tens of millions of dollars acquiring, remodeling and maintaining an Italian monastery.

Sadly, things may be even worse than The Wall Street Journal report indicated. OU has $1 billion in debt, and one official whose community bank bought bonds to finance a housing project at the college has complained that OU effectively defrauded banks.

At the same time, OU is spending substantia sums in court fighting to keep citizens from viewing two taxpayer-funded reports prepared by the Jones Day law firm regarding alleged decades of false claims about OU’s fundraising and allegations of sexual harassment by former OU President David Boren. (The university spent $1 million in taxpayer funds on those reports.)

OU officials’ responses to The Wall Street Journal are bizarre.

In an Aug. 10 email, OU President Joseph Harroz, Jr., responded that “the average annual cost of tuition and fees at OU, after factoring in discounts, has decreased by 6% for Oklahoma residents compared to five years ago.”

That’s only a dip in the bucket given the 166% increase over two decades, and it glosses over the fact that the modest reduction cited by Harroz occurred (in part) over his objection.

In June 2022, Harroz asked the University of Oklahoma Board of Regents to increase tuition rates by 3 percent. The Regents shot down that idea and instead maintained current rates for all but out-of-state students.

The response of one OU regent in a column published in The Oklahoman was no better.

Notably, both Harroz and the regent stressed that OU will be playing sports in the Southeastern Conference next year. Apparently, SEC football games are supposed to make up for the 166% increase in tuition and fees.

I like sports as much as anyone. But the core reason our state colleges exist is to provide an affordable education that allows people to move up the income ladder and provide for their families. If OU’s poor financial management closes the door of opportunity to Oklahoma students, weekend football games won’t make up for a lifetime of lost earnings.

Jonathan Small serves as president of the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs (www.ocpathink.org).

Rep. Martinez to resign September 1 in context

8/19/2023

0 Comments

 

Oklahoma City –- Representative Ryan Martinez, R-Edmond, plans to resign from his legislative seat effective September 1, 2023. He pleaded guilty on August 1 to physical control of a vehicle while intoxicated, a felony. It also known as “non-driving DUI.”

Last year, Martinez was charged with control of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. He failed a field sobriety test on October 26, 2022, secured release from jail, and was charged with a felony in late December. Martinez had a prior case of driving under the influence in 2014.

The legislator verbally attacked Governor Kevin Stitt in 2022 over Stitt’s position concerning tribal court orders. He was a persistent critic of the chief executive officer’s position countering efforts by the state’s largest tribes to assert control over up to 42 percent of the state.

Martinez verbally attacked the state’s chief executive officer over one of his 2022 vetoes, involving legislation supporting tribal court orders impacting the Department of Public Safety. He called the governor – a member of the Cherokee Nation – “racist,” having previously derided Stitt over his plans for ARPA funds.

In his resignation statement, sent to The City Sentinel newspaper by legislative staff, Martinez said:

“While I have followed the guidance of my legal counsel and a letter from the Office of the Attorney General, there are differing opinions about whether I should remain in office. My intention has been to resign at the appropriate time to allow a representative to be seated for next year’s legislative session.

“With such legal uncertainty, I believe now is that time, so that my neighbors can be represented without distraction. I am therefore resigning my position of state representative for House District 39 effective Sept. 1, 2023.

“I take full responsibility for my mistake and apologize to my family, friends, and constituents who have supported me for the last seven years serving House District 39. I have engaged in court-ordered obligations prior to my plea, and faced my day in court without a conviction. I’m taking accountability for my actions, and making efforts to move forward.

“It has been an honor to serve alongside those who work tirelessly to pass beneficial legislation at the State Capitol, and I hope they will continue standing up against corruption, providing the leadership and vision Oklahomans deserve.”

District 39 in the Oklahoma House of Representatives, which he has represented since election in 2016, includes parts of Edmond and Oklahoma City. He has been a power player at the State Capitol, as vice chairman of the House Appropriations and Budget Committee, and a member of both the Government Modernization Committee and the Efficiency and A&B General Government Committee.

Some policy and political context – Republicans clashing on legal issues

Martinez helped steer the legislative redistricting process after the 2020 U.S. Census.

He garnered attention for critical comments about the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department and its oversight of Swadley’s Bar-B-Q.

Attorney General Gentner Drummond and former Oklahoma County Assistant District Attorney Gayland Gieger – a close ally of David Prater, a persistent critic of Gov. Stitt — are now investigating Swadley and the Tourism, with grand jury proceedings this week held at Drummond’s office in Oklahoma City.

Swadley’s has defended its use of taxpayer resources received and the plans it made for an upgrade in tourist facilities, saying “Tourism Department got exactly what it wanted with rapid construction of first-class restaurants during a pandemic.”

After Martinez pled guilty in early August in his felony case, Governor Stitt moved quickly to schedule a special election in District 39, saying the Martinez admission meant he needed to vacate his post.

However, A.G. Drummond’s deputy had previously said Martinez could remain in the Legislature. (Martinez secured a “deferred” sentence, meaning no jail time, for the felony.)

Drummond and Stitt have disagreed on a variety of issues during and since the 2022 election cycle. Both won their November elections easily. Stitt gained more than 55 percent of the vote against a field of three opponents, including a former Republican who had Big Tribe support for her campaign. Drummond, with Big Tribe support and public support from many Democrats, garnered three-quarters of the statewide vote against one opponent, the Libertarian nominee. In last year’s nomination top process, Drummond unseated appointed Attorney General John O’Connor, an ally of the governor’s on most issues.

Tulsa August Rental Activity Jumps

8/18/2023

0 Comments

 

Renting is now the new buying, thanks to Bidenomics, as high home prices and the peak rental season bring out more renters looking for apartments. But, which cities are seeing the most listing activity and attracting the most attention from apartment hunters?

For the first time ever, Tulsa has entered the list of the top 30 most popular cities for renters, after climbing a remarkable 48 places since last month. This month it ranks 28th, surpassing much bigger renter hubs, such as Manhattan, NY, in terms of popularity. 

The following metrics propelled Tulsa into the ranks of the most sought-after rental hubs this month: 

  • In August, renters added 83% more Tulsa listings to their favorites list compared to this time last year, which indicates their growing interest for this city. 
  • Apartment hunters viewed 20% more Tulsa listings over the same time frame.
  • The competition got fiercer here, with an 18% decrease in available units compared to the previous year, which also suggests a high demand.
  • Raleigh and Greensboro. In comparison, Oklahoma City occupies the 22nd place in the South.
  • On a regional level, Tulsa ranks 9th among Southern cities, sandwiched between two North Carolina rental hubs: Raleigh and Greensboro. In comparison, Oklahoma City occupies the 22nd place in the South. 

To read the full report, click here.

The average rent for an apartment in Tulsa is $925 per month. The cost of rent varies depending on several factors, including location, size, and quality. By popular neighborhood, apartment prices range from $835 in East Tulsa to $1,462 in Downtown Tulsa. 

The neighborhood specific list follows:

  • Downtown Tulsa $1,462
  • Midtown Tulsa $857
  • West Tulsa $1,034

The Uncertainty of College Investment

8/18/2023

0 Comments

 

This coming school year marks our final year to pay college expenses for our five kids. My greatest achievement as a Tulsa based financial planner is getting our kids through college without school loans!

Yet for multitudes of families, college has become more and more out of reach because of skyrocketing costs. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that the nation’s best-known public universities have been on a massive spending spree the past two decades and have passed the bill along to students and their families.

Unfortunately, the Journal reports that the University of Oklahoma “hit students with some of the biggest tuition increases, while spending millions on projects including acquiring and renovating a 32,000 square foot Italian monastery for its study-abroad program.”

From 2002 to 2022 enrollment at the University of Oklahoma increased 15%, but spending increased 36%. Tuition and fees over this same period rose a shocking 166%, the most of any flagship university. More and more students turned to school loans, which smother a new graduate’s finances like a rainstorm descends on the stoking flames of a new campfire.

To their credit, the new leadership at OU is trying to right size expenses, but the Legislature just awarded the school an approximate 15% funding increase. The Legislature did not, unfortunately, pass any higher financial transparency or accountability reforms, nor did they address the rise of liberal woke indoctrination pervading the classrooms.

Many Oklahoma families are becoming more and more concerned about sending their money and children to public universities. Just when we need more college graduates to fill great paying jobs and take Oklahoma to a higher level of growth and prosperity, the uncertainty of a college investment has become troubling and needs immediate attention.

OU Changes Football Tailgating Policies

8/18/2023

0 Comments

 

As the University of Oklahoma prepares to enter its final football season in the Big 12 Conference, it has announced changes to its tailgating policies.

Tailgating Areas

The university is adding a public tailgating location designated along the south side of Lindsey Street between Asp and Jenkins Avenues. In this location, tailgating may only take place on the grassy area between the Lindsey Street curb and the north side of the sidewalk. Other campus areas designated for private and public tailgating will remain the same as the 2022 season.

A map indicating designated tailgating areas and game day road closures, as well as the university’s tailgating policies, can be found here.

Space may be occupied beginning at noon, but stakes may not go into the ground until 5 p.m.

Out of respect for students who reside on campus, fans setting up tailgate equipment at the Lindsey Street designated area will be permitted to begin at 7 a.m. on the day of a home football game. Space may be occupied beginning at 5 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the game, but stakes may not go into the ground until 7 a.m. on game day.

Game Day Traffic, Road Closures and Parking

To promote efficient traffic flow and pedestrian safety, certain roads near campus are closed or restricted on game days. Five and a half hours prior to home games, all roads and access around the stadium will be closed. Public parking on campus is limited on game days but is available in certain parking lots for $30 – cash and cards are accepted.

Game day traffic and parking information is available here.

Concerns Raised Over Halfway House

8/18/2023

0 Comments

 

In a public notice, neighbors have been advised that an application for a Transitional Living Facility to house 40 to 50 convicted individuals at 5707 South Memorial has been filed. A special meeting has been schedulefd for 1:00 pm on August 22, at the Tulsa City Hall, Council Chambers. Written comments are also welcomed by email to [email protected], Case Number BOA-23549.

Melissa Ethridge-Jack posted publicly Monday the following letter to the Tulsa Planning Commission:

I am a home-bound individual that is unable to attend the meeting regarding a proposed [Department of Corrections] DOC halfway house located at 57th & Memorial.

I worked in the mental health and substance abuse field for about ten years.  The facility where I worked maintained contractual obligations with Oklahoma State Probation & Parole and US Federal Probation & Parole.  Depending on the parolees’ status determined which facility they were allowed to be housed in and yes, we had parolees that broke the terms of their contractual obligations and were taken back to prison.  As an individual whose life has been affected personally by substance abuse and worked in the field;  I am able to give a realistic viewpoint on this issue.

One of our facilities was located in downtown Tulsa within an older apartment complex that my employer had acquired many years before my employment.  Each unit could house two DOC clients.  Clients had to have employment, attend recovery meetings, submit to random urinalysis testing, meet with their counselor, and staff assisted each housed DOC client put aside money from their payroll for any court fees, rent fees, and savings.

I am all for giving individuals another chance but this type of facility DOES NOT belong at 57th & Memorial.  Generally, people that are in recovery from substance abuse have disgusting habits.  We have the beautiful and serene Memorial Park Cemetery to the north of this proposed facility and to the south we have the lovely Schaudt’s Funeral Home. Individuals typically leave their trash on the ground,  This means walking through a lot of cigarette butts. wadded up cigarette packs, candy wrappers, coffee cups, drink cups, etc.  Two of my major concerns is that there will be a “trashing up” of the funeral home and let us not forget those who are famous and held in high regard are buried in the beautiful Memorial Park Cemetery.  

We have two schools in our neighborhood.  A big concern is those who could possibly be a pedophile that have flown under the wire.  Someone that has never gotten caught so they are not in the database.  I am not comfortable with school and convicts in the same breath.

This facility will create a lot of foot traffic because most convicts do not have access to personal transportation.  We are within walking distance of restaurants and QuikTrips.

This type of facility needs to exist but in a business district zoned for this type of program.  Why in the world can the powers that be not come up with building an apartment complex large enough to house 50 to 100 DOC clients?  There really is a simple solution to the greater problem and Jesus’ people or whoever still gets the contract gets pay-rolled.

Respectfully, James L. Jack and Melissa J. Ethridge-Jack

Other posters then added their voices.

Sungate said, “I’m concerned about the fact that it’s within 2 blocks of our neighborhood elementary and middle schools.”

Becky Ferguson wrote, “These are great in theory, but it seems as if the problem comes from monitoring, supervision and accountability.   From what I understand the “house monitor” is usually a tenant that has been there and has shown some type of accountability.  However it doesn’t seem as if that works well.”

Angie Belton, Woodland View posted, “We already have 4 halfway houses in our neighborhood, enough.”

Gays Against Groomers Call for Support

8/18/2023

0 Comments

 

In an update from Gays Against Groomers, founder Jaimee Michell is asks for support to fund a “growing need for security to ensure the safety and well-being of all our members and attendees.”

Gays Against Groomers mission is described as “dedication to stand against those who wish to harm innocent children.”

As published by the UCLA Williams Institute, Tulsa’s population of LGBT is 4.1 % of the population of the city with a gender ration of 44% male and 56% female. The race of the community in Tulsa is noted as 59% while and 41% all other races. Of those in Tulsa 34% are raising children and 66% are not.

In just one month (June to July this year) membership of the organization grew by 26%. Michell said that more events and gatherings are planned to education, raise awareness, and “fortify our mission’s roots to protect children from harmful and unnecessary ideologies, medicalization and sexualization.”

“Our goal is to ensure that every single event is a sanctuary for those attending, free from harm, intimidation, or threat. We want our members to feel empowered, safe, and able to stand up for our cause without fear. Our opposition is ruthless, and we must do our best to stay ahead of them and make sure our voices are heard without violence.

“We don’t want to see the LGBTQ propaganda, we don’t want to see minors undergoing surgeries they could regret later, and we don’t want to see kids sexualized by hypersexual content at schools. Your belief in our cause, coupled with your generosity, will be the bedrock upon which we fortify our defenses against those who seek to harm the innocent. Together, we can stand strong, bring integrity back to the LGBTQ community, protect children, and make the world a safer place for them,” Michell wrote.

For donations a link was provided, click here to reach that page.

Mitchell closed writing, “Thank you from the depths of my heart for your continued support and belief in Gays Against Groomers. We are deeply grateful for any support you can offer. With your help, we can continue to grow and carry out our mission to end the war on children. We have already assisted in passing over a dozen bills all over the country. Together, we can and will make a difference.”
