Cleveland City Council

Akron and Cleveland’s mask ordinances will clog courts with money-wasting civil cases

Akron councilwoman Tara Samples has been particularly aggressive in pushing unconstitutional ordinances. She worked the Russian Bernie Sanders for president. She was Croatian Dennis Kucinich's running mate as a candidate for lieutenant governor. Any Middle East travel in her financial disclosure statements?

CLEVELAND, OH – In South Euclid the city council decided to issue “civil” parking tickets with demands that people receiving them pay-up.  The problem, according to Municipal Court Judge Gayle Williams Byers after she learned of the practice when she took office in January 2012, was that taking property in the form of quick cash from uninformed citizens without a trial was unconstitutional.  So she ended the constitutional rights-violating practice and returned over $80,000 to the citizens whose rights had been violated.  South Euclid city council amended its civil parking ticket ordinance to a criminal one. Akron and Cleveland city…

Non-resident Jones won’t make it through the primary as a 2021 candidate for mayor

CLEVELAND, OH – There’s a Chinese word Basheer Jones probably never heard of called “Lingchi.”  It describes the term “death by a thousand cuts.”  It also means “slow death.”  I learned the “term” at the Central Intelligence Agency “Air America” Royal Thai Air Force base I was stationed at for a year in Udorn, Thailand while serving in the U.S. Air Force 80 miles south of South Vietnam’s border. I was there when South Vietnam surrendered to Communist China-controlled North Vietnam in April 1975.  No.  I didn’t torture anyone. The term Lingchi describes a process of killing a person by…

Black and Protestant voting rights violator Kelly must go if council doesn’t want 8 seats lost

CLEVELAND, OH – Ex-Cleveland councilman and U.S. soldier Terrell Pruitt stood right next to Kevin Kelley and didn’t utter a gotdamned word when he violated the voting rights of 22,000 majority Black Protestant Cleveland voters.  Right in front of a U.S. soldier, Kelley felt protected when he engaged in criminal dereliction of duty as he exceeded the authority of the office of the council president.  Not a finger was lifted or a voice raised loudly in protest by either mic snatching Jeffrey Johnson or Zack Reed, so-called Black men in authority, as they stood by with their heads bowed and…

Jones’ AIPAC backer’s organization was investigated by the FBI for espionage

CLEVELAND, OH – An exclusive EJBNEWS investigation has uncovered that one of usurping Cleveland councilman Basheer Jones’ illegal $3000 donors, Tim Wuliger, served as an American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) director when the Russian-controlled agency’s employees, Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman, were charged in a 2005 federal indictment for espionage.  The Congressional Research Services agency has warned Congress in multiple reports about unregistered foreign agent AIPAC members cultivating relationships with federal, state and local officials and employees they use to acquire “national defense” information that’s sent directly to the Russian-controlled government of Israel. Wuliger was an AIPAC board director…

Pressure from EJBNEWS gets city hall action on backlogged building permits

Russian Ed Rybka seems to have a preference for hiring aliens instead of natural born Cleveland residents to work in the city's building department. He's doing it with the permission of Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson. City hall is not a sanctuary hiring hall for illegal aliens and possible war criminals. Jackson's hiring foreigners as cops.

In the city where council never uses its congressional-like power to hold hearings and learn if employees the mayor supervises are obeying ordinances, or if the ordinances need tweaking, a backlog of building and housing permits may be caught up “without overtime” if Mayor Frank Jackson’s chief development official follows-up. Jackson’s chief of regional development, Ed Rybka, met with building and housing workers on Tuesday and told them to catch up on getting backlogged permits to contractors and property owners.   There’s more than a 4-month backlog of unfilled permit requests that has pissed off smaller contractors and property owners who’ve…

Hood rat Cleveland councilman called police on 200 black men, women and children

No malicious call to police on black people across the nation has been worse than the one made by Cleveland city councilman Basheer Jones.  Jones called police on over 200 black men, women and children who’d peacefully and legally-assembled at the African American History Museum where they paid $20 to hear Dr. Umar Johnson and motivational expert George Fraser speak at a fundraiser on May 18th.  The 3rd District police sergeant who showed up to shut down the event told the museum’s director, Francis Caldwell, that the councilman claimed the building was unsafe but had no evidence to support the…
