Thank you for making the editorial on Mayor Stephanie-Rawlings Blake the most read story of the year!

Cop Who Concealed Murder Weapon Will Not Be Criminally Charged

The twisted tale of what happened in the aftermath of the tragic "accidental shooting" of Monae Turnage has just turned into a strange trip. A trip to the increasingly bizarre world that is the Baltimore justice system. Despite the weapon used to kill the 13 year-old, being found hidden in the trunk of Baltimore Police Officer John Ward's car, we now know the State's Attorney punked out on charging him.

Apparently State's Attorney Gregg Bernstein was so fearful of looking woefully incompetent, that he kept the decision a secret for two months until Justin Fenton forced his hand. Next time he could at least tell the family of the victim the case was closed.


Where's Police Commissioner Batts?

Has anyone really seen the guy perform as commissioner yet? It would be nice to hear a bit more from him.

Considering his reputation for being frequently M.I.A. at his last job, I'm starting to wonder if his time here is NFL (not for long). "I have recognized that the conditions under which I was hired as chief have changed and do not allow me to fulfill the primary mission to provide an environment where one can live, work, play and thrive free from crime and the fear of crime," Batts said in his letter to Oakland residents.

Has there been an open press conference where he's taken questions from reporters? Between the latest news on the Monae Turnage case, the Anthony Anderson murder-by-cop catastrophe, and all the other mayhem and shenanigans he must be discovering within the Baltimore Police Department, could the Battsman possibly be already having second thoughts?


O'Malley's Future?

Martin O'Malley wants to be President Of The United States

On this day in history in 1973, Vice President of the United States and former Maryland Governor Spiro T. Agnew resigned. A whole litany of crimes committed while governor, including extortion and bribery had finally caught up to him. We could only hope his example serves as a stark reminder for upwardly mobile, crooked and corrupt Maryland politicians, that sooner or later your sins catch up to you. Sometimes when it does, the embarrassment is on a far grander scale than the local media that worked tirelessly to protect and promote them.


A Special Message From The Editor


Welcome to the brand new Baltimore Spectator! For those of you who've been following my new media journey, you can clearly see a change has been taking place.

From hard hitting editorials, to controversial videos and stories of interest from around the world, a small metamorphosis is happening before you. Over the past few weeks, the Baltimore Spectator website has been slowly rising from the smoldering ashes. This was once a great source of exclusive news, information and commentary and like the mythical phoenix, its reemergence comes at a time when most have long written it off for dead... (Read More)

America's Greatest Governor

National Education Association Gives Award To MD Governor Martin O'Malley

Is this the same O'Malley who was Mayor of Baltimore for eight years?  Within those same eight years Baltimore saw it's public schools finish nearly dead last in every category that counts.  With more kids dropping out than graduating, it's hardly what I would call a success or glowing accomplishment in the O'Malley legacy.

It's not that I have anything personal against the NEA or Governor O'Malley, despite the fact that he's had it out for me for some time.  Some of the facts of his record are simply disturbing.  To be crowned the "Greatest Governor" by a group whose stated goals are supposed to involve the advancement of education is honestly quite puzzling.  It seems these so called educators haven't done their homework.

Were I a dues paying member of the nations largest teachers union, I'd demand my money back.

Retired school teacher Quinton D. Thompson; wrote an open letter to O'Malley.  It was sent as a letter to the editor of The Baltimore Sun.  Concerning the NEA, Thompson said: "Sadly, instead of striving to fulfill this mission, it has become obvious the NEA’s questionable priorities have been the promotion of their political influence, job security and the protection of their mediocrity which, I believe, should be termination of employment instead." The Sun refused to print his letter.

Change, You Call This Change?

Current Baltimore Leadership A Result Of Low Standards & Expectations

By A.F. James MacArthur Ph.A.L., Managing Editor

Last week saw the culmination to a long drawn out ordeal. After years of being a controversial and polarizing figure, Sheila Dixon was put to pasture politically. Like an old horse no longer effective in its duties, but not so worthless that it should be butchered, Sheila Dixon was given a chance to slowly fade away.

No more presidential snubs, or Jay Leno jokes, no more international headlines bearing the dubious distinction of yet another failed, disgraced, criminally convicted, black democrat politician. Believe it or not, to most living outside Baltimore, this became all we were known for. Even my friends in Europe brought it up. They voluntarily shared their views regarding Sheila Dixon. How embarrassing.

Shamefully, this all could have been avoided if Baltimore truly wanted change. One of the most perplexing matters to me is how a large body of voters who so enthusiastically rallied for and elected Barack Obama to the presidency are the same people who continuously re elect tired, worn out, worthless incumbents.

Baltimore has no issue with electing the same people over and over again, even when they fail to produce the results so desired by all. Putting the same names and faces back in year after year just to be lied to and have promises broken has become acceptable in Charm City.

Last election gave Baltimore an opportunity for change, to truly make a difference, instead we saw establishment politicians remain in their status quo positions. Some were even promoted without showing why they deserved it.

The late Ken Harris was a true champion of the people. Passionate, intelligent and connected, not bought or bossed by the machine. He would have made a most excellent City Council President.

In the Mayor’s race, Del. Jill P. Carter burst on the scene as a principled, proven independent voice. A legislator that shows no blind loyalty to party lines or special interest groups or rich business developers. The chance for true change layed right at your fingertips Baltimore, but you fell for the same old song and dance that’s been used to pimp our people for decades. Now look what you got.

Let’s not even get into how after nearly eight years of the disastrous O’Malley Mayorship, you people turned around and promoted him to Governor. After leaving Baltimore an utter and complete mess in nearly every category that counts, you thought he did such a good job that rest of Maryland should have a chance to suffer with us.

Mayor designate Stephanie Rawlings-Blake openly admits her close ties and allegiance with Governor Martin O’Malley. The man who took this city to a place, even most Dixon supporters don’t ever want to see us go again. Besides viewing him as a mentor and personal hero, she even relies on some of his cast off staff members to run her office. Change? You call that change? YEAH RIGHT!!!

Maryland Millionaires Missing -- Taxpayers Flee OmalNomics™

Governor O'Malley And Baltimore Sun Bashed By Wall Street Journal

OmalNomics ™; n. failed economic policies of socialist in training Governor Martin O'Malley, leading to dramatic reduction in state tax revenue and increased burdens on the middle class.

From the Latin word mal, meaning bad, and nomics being a short for of economics. 'O', as in Oh My God He's Ruining The State!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maryland couldn't balance its budget last year, so the state tried to close the shortfall by fleecing the wealthy. Politicians in Annapolis created a millionaire tax bracket, raising the top marginal income-tax rate to 6.25%. And because cities such as Baltimore and Bethesda also impose income taxes, the state-local tax rate can go as high as 9.45%. Governor Martin O'Malley, a dedicated class warrior, declared that these richest 0.3% of filers were "willing and able to pay their fair share." The Baltimore Sun predicted the rich would "grin and bear it."

One year later, nobody's grinning. One-third of the millionaires have disappeared from Maryland tax rolls. In 2008 roughly 3,000 million-dollar income tax returns were filed by the end of April. This year there were 2,000, which the state comptroller's office concedes is a "substantial decline." On those missing returns, the government collects 6.25% of nothing. Instead of the state coffers gaining the extra $106 million the politicians predicted, millionaires paid $100 million less in taxes than they did last year -- even at higher rates.

Open Letter To Governor O'Malley

A Retired Teacher's Thoughts On Education -- Baltimore Sun Refused To Print

In case anyone is wondering why I've developed such a great disdain for The Baltimore Sun, the letter linked below should help you out a little. In an open, free, and democratic society, voices of dissent and opposition are necessary in maintaining balance and integrity. Ever notice how infrequently you'll ever see a headline or a piece critical of Governor O'Malley in The Baltimore Sun? With only one paper in town, we should see at least an attempt at being fair and balanced.

Silence & Suppression In MD -- They're Trying To Intimidate The Spectator

An Enemy Of The State?

by A.F. James MacArthur, Managing Editor, with T.R. Mencken Editor In Chief

(EARLY DRAFT -- be part of the process, email suggestions or corrections, or use the comments link below article)

The only reason I am not sitting in jail right now is because of a well meaning Maryland State agent who will remain unnamed. He said the warrant for my arrest was on the verge of being issued, but he feared for my safety in Baltimore's Central Booking facility and did what he could to not have the warrant issued. For this reason, and this reason alone the inevitable was delayed. They may still get me, but it hasn't happened yet.

Last time I was taken to central booking, a man I arrested (remember what I used to do?) was brought into the same area as me (thanks a lot!). Immediately he looked at me and his words were "what are you doing in here?" This situation was extremely dangerous and could have led to me being attacked and even killed. People get killed in Baltimore's Central Booking all the time. All it would take would be for him to share with other inmates that the man sitting over there is a cop (true or not), and those low lifes would have plotted and eventually attacked me.

Baltimore has a long history of violating civil rights. The hundreds of thousands of arrests that happens here (no exaggeration), with so many being tossed out for no evidence is as un-American and anti-Constitutional as you can get. Folks, I've been trying to tell you but no one's really listening. They've done it to me before, and they'll certainly do it again. In Maryland, especially Baltimore, it doesn't take anything to be thrown in jail, without any probable cause or evidence. Sadly, this is a story that is still mostly unknown.

Coming from me, it's easy to dismiss. This is serious! Just because I'm a bit of a wild radical doesn't mean I'm a kook. My hope is that in putting these stories on the internet, no matter what happens to me, somewhere out there, the story will exist. As I've said before, you can kill a man, but his words never die. There's a lot going on, and I will do my best to get as much of it out as possible, so help me God!

From Thousands To Less Than A Hundred -- What Happened To The Baltimore Spectator?

by A.F. James MacArthur, Managing Editor, with T.R. Mencken, Editor In Chief

(EARLY DRAFT -- be part of the process, email suggestions or corrections, or use the comments link below article)

From it's inception, the Baltimore Spectator has long been a harsh critic of Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley. Although the primary focus of the site is Baltimore City, the former Baltimore mayor along with many of his associates including Congressman Frank Kratovil have been frequent targets of opportunity. After weeks of ongoing direct frontal assaults, Governor Martin O'Malley and his team appear to be taking covert actions to fight back.

We know for a fact that Governor O'Malley has read critical stories written about him on The Baltimore Spectator. Once on a Saturday night at 10:35 PM, from his Blackberry, our sources tell us O'Malley logged onto the Spectator to read a story that had been published about him less than minutes prior. The Spectator wants to know, does the governor of the State of Maryland really has the time to pay attention to words written on some, small time, underfunded, virtually unknown little blog?

In the interest of time, let us do our best to briefly summarize. It is well known detail to us that many of our thousands of readers were Maryland State employees, accessing the website from state computers. This is all well and fine. Government workers everywhere go to various news sites all the time. For some strange reason, we keep getting various reports of them being unable to access the site. The situation seems to be a fluid one. Never lasting very long, by the time it's investigated, the problem seems to be fix. That is, until now.

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK!

After releasing a dry humor, sarcastically done satire video entitled "The Governor Hates Me," things began to take a turn for the worse. In the video, with O'Malley jokingly portrayed as movie villain Darth Vader, complete with heavy breathing sounds, A.F. James MacArthur tells a true story of the ongoing cold war like tension between him and Governor O'Malley.

The Baltimore Spectator used to get thousands of visits, suddenly, as of this writing, the traffic has slowed to less than a hundred as of yesterday. A quick look at the traffic log shows a conspicuous absence of the the many government computer viewers who used to come to the site every single work day. and we thought this was America!

CONSPIRACIES AND THE BALTIMORE POLICE DEPARTMENT

Most interesting of yesterdays web traffic was among the only users on the site, were several from Baltimore Police Headquarters. Of course, this was after the release of a controversial three minute video. In the video, producer A.F. James MacArthur compares the Baltimore Police policy of hiding the names of police officers involved in shootings to Ku Klux Klansmen hiding their faces and identities while committing atrocities.

So let's review. Thousands of visitors, many of whom were government employees. Suddenly they all disappear, but Governor O'Malley, his staff, and Baltimore Police headquarters are still visiting the site. Draw your own conclusions!

ONE FINAL PIECE

On the brand new radio show "SPEAK UP! With James MacArthur -- Live From The Bunker," the host tried to pull up a story earlier linked on the site, only to embarrassingly discover, on live radio, the link was dead. The story detailed how Governor Martin O'Malley had brazenly stood up and dissed a group of Maryland Black Mayors who invited him to a meeting. At the last minute, without explanation, O'Malley was a no show. The link was viewable and the story was there. Suddenly now, the story is no where to be found on the original website. Long before the story could make it, it's just simply disappeared.

The tactics being employed are no different than the kind of free speech suppression and intimidation used in Communist China. Indeed Chinese Democracy may already be here. In the land of the free, and the home of the brave. Better yet, in Baltimore City, one of the most significant cities in American history, the birthplace of the Star Spangled Banner. The location of the Final Great Battle repelling the British and permanently establishing the United States Of America where people could be free, should these unconstitutional tactics be tolerated?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AFTER WORD: We know this attempt at getting the true story out will be subeject to further attack and suppression. We know the chances of some brave reporter (see "Reporters Need To Grow A Set) in the mainstream media picking this up is extremely remote. We know by publishing this, we ourselves are subject to potential bodily harm and injury. And we also know the easiest thing to do is write us off, write this story off, and dismiss us as crazy, wildly imaginative, internet conspiracy kooks! To this end we simply respond -- "TRUTH TO THE MASSES!"

The Maryland Black Mayors, Inc. is a private, non political, non partisan, non profit corporation; representing over 700,000 citizens and residents and managing over $2.2 billion annually. MBM, Inc. was created to promote and develop program models designed to improve educational, economic, health and social levels within the respective jurisdictions of its members; promote efficient and responsive government within all of the jurisdictions served by the membership, through studies of special or peculiar problems of common concern; and through the creation, implementation, development and maintenance of social, educational, economic and other programs and projects designed ultimately to enhance the quality of life for residents of the affected municipalities.

O'Malley Snubs Black Leaders -- Media Avoids Story

O'Malley A No Show At Emergency Town Hall Meeting Called By Black Mayors

First he takes part in the Obama snubbing of his old friend Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon. Then, as if to make a point to the black community of Maryland, now, Governor Martin O'Malley, without explanation is a no show at a meeting of Black Mayors. Here is a major dis from O'Malley towards a group of black elected officials in Maryland, but the mainstream media seems to have no interest in getting this out.

Go to The Washington Informer, and learn what the majors won't tell you. Once again, alternative media has the guts to boldy declare the truth.

So is anyone going to call the Governor out on this? Do you think we the people deserve an explanation?

The Baltimore Spectator is seeking an official explanation from the Governor's Office -- but don't hold your breath. These people don't think they're accountable to anybody

Call Off The Dogs -- K9 Nearly Kills The Spectator

Did O'Malley's Gestapo Make An Attempt On The Spectator?
It was mid morning on Thursday. Managing Editor A.F. James MacArthur noticed an unusual amount of footprints in the snow behind the hardned bunker complex that is MacArthur Media Headquarters. Deciding to take a closer look in attempts to gather clues on the possible intruders, what happened next nearly caused a casualty.

While closely observing the array of different prints in the snow, suddenly out of his peripheral vision MacArthur saw a fast moving blur closing in. Just a few yards away was four legged attacker, and he meant business.

Racing for the outer door of "the bunker" MacArthur opened it just inches away from the snarling, gaping jaws, filled with a nice full set of razor sharp teeth. As he dove through the door, he reached for his handy can of OC (that's pepper spray) and unloaded on the four legged shock trooper.

With the K9 dazed and confused, MacArthur was able to close the door behind him and recover in the safety of "the bunker." Speaking with him after the event, he said; "it was really scary, I was literally running for my life, it's been a while since I had to hoof it like that."

Amid Threats, MacArthur Dramatically Increases Security

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As an officer, James MacArthur dealt with vicious dogs throughout his public safety career. From kicking in doors with the fugitive, vice and narcotic squads, to dealing with crazy tenants as a landlord. MacArthur once worked with a K9 partner as part of a search team and is an avid animal lover. Having been bitten a few times, and having to resort to using lethal force in a few instances, this event will probably re-open a few old wounds so to speak.

Broken Baltimore Schools -- Alsonso Demands Steele Apology

O'Malley Takes A Cheap Shot At RNC Chairman Michael Steele

Brand new RNC Chairman and former Maryland Lt. Governor, Michael Steele had better find some knee pads real soon. After apologizing to Rush Limbaugh this week, we now hear Dr. Andreas Alonso, CEO of the failing Baltimore City School system is demanding his own apology from Steele.

Steele has openly and frequently criticized Frederick Douglass High School. Of course this is not without good reason. This is a school where little over half the students ever graduate. Wonder where the young thugs standing on the corner dealing drugs and robbing little old ladies come from? They're the kids the Baltimore City School system has failed.

At a press event at Douglass High, Governor Martin O'Malley was supposed to be discussing BGE re-regulation, but apparently he took the opportunity to take a swipe at Steele. The Baltimore Sun tells us O'Malley said "I don't think Michael Steele has been here since he came in an election year to demagogue, kick around our children."

Our children? Now that's a good one Governor. I'm sure you care so much. Could it be that you're already seeing the dark clouds overhead of a possible strong republican contender on the horizon? Have these posts, which I know you read, could they possibly be getting to you?

O'Malleys Reregulation Press Conference In Baltimore

Was anyone there? The Baltimore Spectator is seeking a guest contributor from this event. Due to a stern warning and advisement from the MacArthur Media security team, Managing Editor, A.F. James MacArthur was strongly advised not to attend this event.

Originally MacArthur had plans to attend, but the security team, which includes people who know and speak with O'Malley received a tip that the Governor is quite heated (surprise, surprise) about the recent editorial blitzkrieg against him seen on these pages. It is believed that O'Malley's gestapo (oops, we mean security detail) had plans to detain MacArthur on sight if he showed at the event.

Perhaps for questioning, or any variety of easily made up fabricated charges. Much like during the time when O'Malley was Mayor of Baltimore and instituted a "zero tolerance" arrest policy, thousands were arrested and never convicted, eventually seing their charges thrown out.

Speaking to his security team, MacArthur stated; "I really wanted to go, but I guess you guys are right, they're probably gonna get me sooner or later, but why make it easy."

Electricity Re-regulation -- Will O'Malley Keep His Promises?

In a new series, The Baltimore Spectator will take a close look at energy re-regulation and BGE/Constellation energy. Keep checking back because this one's sure to be hot and controversial.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After 10 years and an 85% increase in utility rates, the move towards re-regulation of the out of control BGE Maryland energy provider seems to be gaining steam. Governor O'Malley seems to actually remember one of his major campaign promises that had been largely ignored by him up until this point.

It should also be pointed out that O'Malley now pushing for re-regulation has only come about after a group of legislators including Baltimore's own Delegate Pat McDonough and Delegate Jill P. Carter have sponsored legislation do just that. Showing lack of leadership, it appears Governor O'Malley may actually be attempting to follow the will of the people, but of course, not before taking full credit and getting all the press for something others have been working on for weeks now.

A growing number of citizens, make that voters, have signed up and joined an online FaceBook group supporting energy re-regulation in Maryland. Besides regular taxpayers, the group even includes a judge and a General Assembly Member.

Although this is an editorial piece, in fairness to Governor O'Malley, I'd like to let him, in his own words, tell you what his plans are. See for your self why I say he's a fraudulent sham, a few years late, and billions of rate payer dollars short. Watch the video below from his campaign.

Also, Baltimore's ever shrinking, alternative daily has a good story from the Governor's press conference/media photo-op/mass distraction.

Death Penalty Fraud -- O'Malleys Deception

Martin O’Malley said he would do “everything in my power” to overturn the death penalty in Maryland

Governor Martin O'Malley's hand in hand, sing along, cumbyah march against the death penalty was nothing but a big fraud. O'Malley's popularity continues to wane and he needs to drum up whatever distraction and misdirection he can. The man is a master at media manipulation. He plays tricks and creates diversions and the whole main stream follows along.

Come on Governor, seriously, is the death penalty truly that big of an issue right now? When was the last execution in Maryland? You mean you're such a caring compassionate man that you marched in the streets for the handful of people on death row? The same ones that you as Governor can easily pardon.

Governor O'Malley's March (the demonstration, not the corny Celtic rock band he's in) was nothing but a joke. At a time when the state of Maryland faces more crises than any other time since we were being invaded by the British, all I can do is sit back and laugh at the phony compassion. Putting outward form, before truly responsible action is a disservice to the people of Maryland.

Considering the thousands of innocent people falsely arrested in Baltimore under O'Malley's "zero tolerance" policy as mayor, and his total refusal to discuss this. O'Malley clearly lacks compassion no matter how much he tries to resemble, if only temporarily, a 60's era civil rights leader. The Governor should spend his time on issues that are more pressing and impacting to the majority of Marylanders.

FEATURED COMMENT: James Greene

O'Malley has demonstrated time and time again that he has no regard for human life particularly when it comes to blacks. His deficient, self-serving, arrest everyone in sight, policing policies in Baltimore City destroyed thousands of lives, through illegal arrests and by permiting the most dangerous, violent, criminals, to remain on the streets, in an effort to control the stats and cook the books. All to make himself look good at any cost. Why? Many ask why and how this amoral, incompetent, individual was able to win the office of governor when he was the worst mayor in the history of Baltimore City. Answer. The lives he destroyed were black, and mostly poor. Who cares, right? Certainly not black voters who will vote for ANY democrat even a Martin O'Malley who gave them NOTHING as mayor except a useless, hollow, message to BELIEVE in nothing.

Governor O'Malley In Trouble -- Could Lose Big!

Budget deficit, faltering state economy, numerous other issues:

"In Maryland, Democrats have gotten us to this point, and I'm convinced there's going to be this throw-the-bums-out mentality. I would be worried if I were an incumbent," -- Doug Duncan, former County Executive of Montgomery County who dropped out of the 2006 Democratic gubernatorial primary.

The words of a party insider democrat.

The State of Maryland is in a mess. A very big mess. Baltimore city, is in an even bigger mess. Baltimore city's mess is part of the legacy of eight years of Martin O'Malley's rule. Now Mr. O'Malley is Governor, and quite honestly, if he runs the state the way he ran Baltimore, we will not survive.

You know things are bad when even a long time Maryland democrat stalwart like Doug Duncan is starting to get worried. The days of Baltimore city and Maryland voters automatically voting democrat may be coming to an end. Remember, a year ago, when Bush's approval rating was down in the dumps, democrat Maryland gave Governor O'Malley and even lower rating than Bush.

Something to think about
