CLEVELAND, OH – The late Gerald Strothers told me he believed Cuyahoga county council member and child of Carribbean immigrants Cheryl Stephens was the reason 5-stories of deadly construction and demolition debris death existed in East Cleveland on Noble Road. The regularly-burning demolition debris was part of the stockpile of 140,000 homes 2 self-enriching state laws written by Greek organized racketeers and lawyers James Rokakis and Gus Frangos, and backed by the Russian-owned Plain Dealer, used the office of the Cuyahoga County treasurer to steal. Stephens, Strothers believed, was the “hookup” to East Cleveland officials and an environmental terrorist and mass murderer named George Michael Riley.
80 percent of the homes these evil Plain Dealer endorsed Democratic Party beasts made vacant through their 3rd party tax lien sales were owned by American Negroes hoping to create generational wealth for our families. It’s despicable to know people who look like American Negroes, Stephens, Kenneth Tyson, Gary Norton, Thomas Wheeler and others, betrayed us all over again. The first betrayal was the involvement of Ghanians and Nigerians selling our ancestors they kidnapped into 400 years of bondage in North America. It’s even more despicable that the newspaper’s editors endorsed their evil and for years neglected to expose their extermination-minded acts.
The landbank law they wrote let Rokakis and Frangos acquire the thousands of homes their 3rd party tax lien sale law had made vacant and now in need of either renovation or demolition. Another Plain Dealer endorsed “destruction of the American Negro” scheme. Houses they liked they kept and distributed to their friends, relatives and business associates with another member of their Greek organized crime family, the late Cleveland housing court judge Ray Pianka.
About 1000 of the homes they forced an American Negro majority of homeowners out of ended up being demolished and dumped in, of all places, in East Cleveland with the $50 million a year they got between Irish Catholic Ed Fitzgerald and Soviet Armond Budish to demolish. It’s not the God, guns and country White Anglo Saxon Protestant Jesus-loving Christians creating all these “exterminate the American Negro-minded” schemes.
The late Carl Stokes, Cleveland’s first known American Negro mayor, told me as he told his audience in Promises of Power that the descendants of Communist Soviets and Nazis running the police department and local government offices were the most racistly-brutal.
These legislatively-evil Democratic fucks, Rokakis, Frangos and their gang of thieving employee racketeers, profited off every angle. Federal agents are investigating the “cut” it is more than a mere allegation these two evil pieces of shit were alleged to have gotten from Riley. My sources say Riley and Frangos were regularly on the phone during closed door conversations.
I’m sure a search warrant for their cell phone and ping records has already confirmed the relationship. One of Rokakis’ cousins was recently in East Cleveland to demolish a county landbank property on Beersford Road next door to councilman Nathaniel Martin. East Cleveland Sunrise publisher Justyn Anderson witnessed and took a photograph of the man claiming he was Rokakis’ cousin; and bragging how he had demolished another county landbank home on the same street.
The Rokakis – Frangos Greek political organized crime gang was the most extermination-minded and ethnic cleansing savage in U.S. history. By the time I wrote a letter as East Cleveland’s newly-elected mayor telling Rokakis not to place anymore East Cleveland properties on his gotdamned list, up for 3rd party sales over 27,000 homes had been foreclosed on in the county. That’s according to his outdated website. By the time I took office in 2006 his 27,000 foreclosure statistic was five years old.
There is absolutely no love lost between me and this piece of Plain Dealer-endorsed scumbag shit. And all Jim’s going to do is run his fucking mouth from a distance and complain to Mansfield Frazier. Budish abruptly cut the $50 million and cleaned up the landbank when he learned federal agents were investigating. “Guilty state of mind.”
Last week I received a recording of East Cleveland Mayor Brandon King’s chief of staff, Michael Smedley, entertaining Ward 2 residents with a series of incredible lies after his initials and title appeared in the “conspiracy” section of Kenneth Tyson’s November 21, 2018 indictment. The recording capture his comments during a meeting after I associated the M.S. and “chief of staff” referenced in the Tyson indictment with Smedley and the job title he’s been claiming. Smedley was identified in the Tyson indictment 42 days after federal agents arrested Norton and Veals on October 4, 2018.

Tyson and Stephens were employees of the Rokakis and Frangos criminal enterprise known as the Cuyahoga County Land Reutilization Corporation. The county landbank. Tyson was busted for lying to federal agents about the free work Riley did on his home in exchange for demolition contracts tied to the illegal dump Smedley brought to the city as one of his “economic deals.”
Smedley said the M.S. in the indictment wasn’t him. He wasn’t King or Norton’s chief of staff. He was bringing development deals to the city. If “they” make him look bad they make East Cleveland look bad. In Smedley’s demented mind the city’s residents will lose a champion. King can listen to the audio recording to hear the scumbag he’s been trusting lying to the residents he asked to vote for him; and who he’s planning to ask for their vote again.
According to Smedley in the audio recording, Tyson did not get a city landbank home from him. He said he did not know Riley, but he changed and said Stephens had introduced him to the illegal and identity-changing dump operator. But he only met him once. Smedley in around the same breath says he sat next to him. Riley in 2018 changed his name to Anthony Michael Castello in the middle of all the legal troubles killing any future crebility for the name of George Michael Riley.
The audio recording reveals Smedley telling residents he visited the U.S. Attorney’s office; but the twist he put on the visit was as deceptive as the rest of his rambling “true confession.” Admitting that he’d just gotten out of bed without doing anything but brush his teeth, not even combing his cain’t-cha don’t-cha hair, the chief of staff “funk bomb” said his visit to federal prosecutors was to ask for a retraction.
Smedley’s wild claim that he met with federal prosecutors for a “retraction” of my identifying him in writing as the chief of staff in the conspiracy section of Tyson’s November 21, 2018 indictment was as lunatic as the rest of the crap coming from his dribbling-azzed lips. His only recourse for a retraction pursuant to section 2739 of the Revised Code of Ohio was to make the request to me in writing. That shit didn’t happen. Federal prosecutors also did not remove MS as the chief of staff from Tyson’s indictment.
A search of Tyson’s filings with the U.S. District Court in the Northeast District of Ohio show him about to accept a plea dea. There’s no record of him asking that Smedley’s name be removed from his indictment as he’s got Greek attorney Chris or Christos N. Georgalis worrying about his azz and not M.S’s.
From Tyson’s motions he’s been running his legal game and not his lying-azzed mouth like Smedley. Right now he’s worried about a sentence of up to 20 years as his pre-sentence motions show him fighting for up to 5.
King’s chief of staff told residents special prosecutors wrote a letter affirming that he was not being investigated although he had just been “intentionally” identified by them as “M.S” and “chief of staff” in the Tyson indictment. The unshaven Smedley told residents the investigation was closed. They could prove he visited federal prosecutors – only to discuss the retraction and to get the letter that he was not under investigation – by making a public records request for the visitor’s log at the Carl B. Stokes Federal Building to see his recorded name.
Smedley didn’t share a copy of the letter he claimed he was given by federal prosecutors closing the investigation of him with Ward 2’s residents. He told them the worst day of his life was in seeing his name in my article identifying him by name and title in the Tyson indictment for the investigation he told residents was closed.
It was quiet at city hall on December 14, 2020, and Smedley wasn’t around, when the investigation he told Ward 2 residents at Apthorp Towers was closed had produced an indictment against Norton and Veals; and he’d learned that Norton had already pleaded guilty and may have been singing like Tweety Bird a month before Tyson was indicted.
If he hasn’t been keeping up with Tyson’s proceedings and he’s reading these words, as I know he is with his picture intentionally plastered all over the front page of my website, Smedley now knows Tyson’s working on a deal to cut his time from 20 to five. If seeing your name in indictment lights was the worst day of your ignorant life, Mike, it is not my intent to make the news you’re now reading the second.

The way you lived up to the day you had your viewing party with pictures stolen from my personal computer, a federal crime, and criminally disseminated my stolen private property to criminals in the media and others the day my father died reflects your corrupted soul. What you don’t know is I long ago made peace with God and let you people go. I simply sat back and let the ignorance you and Gary were doing to yourselves entertain me; and wrote about how God moved in all your lives to move you out of the lives of the people he loves but you don’t.
I didn’t have to lay a finger on you. Get prayed up boy. You’re gonna have a rough road to hoe. I see prison in your future. A hard head makes a soft azz. When you and Travelle Harp were coupled up over at Speedway – Overlook and regular attendees at my weekly town hall meetings, yours must have done all the jigglin’.
Thanks to your shocking “caught on tape” confession, we now know Stephens, a known associate of Tyson’s, was your hook-up to Riley and the dump. Is that the same story you told federal prosecutors or FBI agents?
