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

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.

UPDATED: The Spectator Shutting Down

THE BASTARDS WON!

THE MACARTHUR MANIFESTO

We wanted to shed some light on the darkness and corruption running rampant in government. We wanted to be a different voice in the media landscape. We wanted to have some fun while doing all this and to remember to not take our selves too seriously. We wanted to be connected directly to you.

Funny how everyone always talks about how they want change and hope, but truly, in this place, there is none to be found. Hate to break it to you, but our current President, likable, and intelligent as he may be, is as hooked up to the machine of establishment politics just as much, or perhaps even more than the next guy.

Then there's Maryland. After watching Baltimore, under Martin O'Malley's leadership, slip further down a slippery slope than even the most harshest cynic could ever imagine, the people of Maryland thought he did such a great job, they decided to promote him to run the whole state.


They said, hey Martin, you did such a great job in Baltimore, with the out of control violence, the homicides, the high school drop outs, the drug addictions, the STD rates, all tops in the country, so we feel you ought to be given a chance to screw up the entire state of Maryland too. All of those phantom accomplishments and strides forward I'm still searching for. The ones to have supposedly taken place while Martin O'Malley was mayor, where did they suddenly disappear to?

I suppose the critics could be right. Sheila Dixon is so incompetent, so incapable, that everything wrong with Baltimore, had absolutely nothing to do with the last eight years preceding her. Nope, it's all her fault and it all materialized under her watch. Sure it did. I know some people who really want you to believe this. And yeah, I'm still pissed off about the snub. It just showed such immaturity and devisivness. You're supposed to be the leader of the state, and therefore by proxy, the leader of the democratic party here, and you sell out the Mayor of the largest city in Maryland just to kiss up to President Obama.

Initially, this was going to be really, really long and drawn out, but I've decided against it. Why bother? I'm not getting paid for this. A wise man often said, people get the government they deserve. So Baltimore, I hope you're happy. Maryland, this is what you get. Enjoy the deficit, the comin continued job losses, and what ever else is lurking around the corner. Oh yeah, let's not forget how what BGE has been doing to you, while your government has sat around and let them.

Rant over now.

If you're looking for me, I won't be in the bunker. Why? Who needs to live that way? Who needs the many false arrests I've experienced, only to have to fight in court to get them thrown out? Who needs to be under a constant cloud of suspicion, observation, and investigation. Oh, you thought I didn't know about the internal files? You guys must have really not checked me out as good as you thought. Not only do I know all of your tricks, I learned them from you.

I have a beautiful house, on a beautiful island, surrounded by beautiful people. Oh, and less anyone think to try anything stupid, yes, I know I have a trial coming up. No, I am not planning to flee, so don't even think about taking me in and justifying it by saying I'm some kind of flight risk. Although all my life I've always been independent, and considered myself to be as free as a bird, right now, especially these days, I feel as if my wings have been clipped.

So, first off, to all the people who have come to this site to see what's here. Sometimes so many of you came at once, the servers literally crashed from overload. To everyone who has stuck by my side. To everyone that has supported over the years. There really is so many of you, I couldn't possibly try to list you all by name, you know who you are. I say thank you, from the bottom of my heart. So long, and farewell.





O'Malley and his ilk should be happy. I'm outta here, they won!
It's been a fun ride, thanks for stopping by everyone. Enjoy Chinese Democracy, it's coming.

EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES

Serious system failures and repeated crashes continue to plague the headquarters of the Baltimore Spectator. Efforts to update the website have been greatly hampered. With many stories powerful stories of original reporting yet to be published The Spectator is extremely distressed by this. Hmmmmm.... conspiracy theory anyone?

They haven't gotten us yet. Contrary to some of the many rumors floating around, for now, I am still a free AND alive man. In keeping with our theme of "Truth To The Masses" we need to set a few things straight.

The Baltimore Spectator has not been abducted by aliens, even though I have personally seen many aliens (illegal mexicans), even going as far as inviting them over for tea. Secondly O'Malleys boys or the FedGoons haven't taken me out and cleverly made it look like some kind of accident or suicide. I can assure you I'm happy to be alive and loving life. So if you hear of something like that happening to me, don't buy it!

Hopefully when I hear the stomping, clippety clomping, of O'Malley's marching, jackboots coming, I'll be able to slip out one final post to let you know my fate has met the worse.
