Las Vegas Sun Editor Accused of Killing Column Critical of Harry Reid

[PJ-Comix]

Harry Reid admitted this week what most honest and informed people already knew: he flat out lied in 2012 about Mitt Romney not paying his income taxes for ten years. Reid gave an ends justifies the means explanation to CNN's Dana Bash namely that, hey, it worked because Romney didn't win the presidential election. In 2012 a columnist in Reid's home state of Nevada, Jon Ralston of the Las Vegas Sun wrote a column critical of Reid's attack on Romney based on no facts. The problem was that his column was killed by his editor, Brian Greenspun.

So three years later, now that Reid has admitted to his contemptible mendacity, Ralston is back with the column killed by Greenspun which he has today published on his website. Below are some of the excerpts but first Ralston delivers a blast at Greenspun for covering for Reid via censorship:

[PJ-Comix]

So which Nevada senator is sleazier? Pat Geary or Harry Reid?

[sitetest]

Pat Geary was a holy saint compared to the lying pederast, Dirty Harry Reid.

Some history.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas_Sun

Publisher and president Brian Greenspun, former publisher Hank Greenspun’s son, was a college roommate of President Bill Clinton. While in office, Greenspun welcomed Clinton as a house guest while Clinton was fundraising in southern Nevada.

[Gay State Conservative]

Senator Geary was a fictional character.”Senator” in the film “Casino” (played by Dick Smothers) was a real person.”Casino” is the true story of the Mob’s control of Vegas during the 70’s and 80’s.Smothers played a Nevada state senator who was Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission...a post that Dirty Harry held during the 70’s.

[abb]

There is no “Mob” anymore. They cannot successfully compete against government, which has duplicated the Mob’s business plan.

Bruised and battered Reid announces his retirement from the Senate.

Odd, isn’t it? (/smirk)

All the polls say "Democrat supremacy" is just around the corner-—
when Hillary is coronated Queen of the Hill.

Yet, Senate big-shots---Boxer, Mikulski, Reid (Democrat
retirees to date) are heading for the high ground---
though they'd have enormous power w/ Hillary in the WH.

Looks like big shot Dems aren't sticking around for the “glory days” ahead.

Or do they know something we already know?

[trisham]

Wow! Those are nasty looking bruises.

[nascarnation]

Good questions.
I’ve always felt most legislators ultimate desire is to go from the Capitol building to the mortuary.
But we are seeing a lot of retirements lately.

[Liz]

Harry, p-u-l-eeze tell me...... this is NOT the reason you're retiring, is it?

============================================

The Clintons bagged millions in kickbacks from the Red Chinese for Loral Space technology---technology transfers paid for by American taxpayers. There's the $350 Million the Chinese government gave the Clinton Foundation" for "favors" Mr. Clinton performed for the Chinese (ala technology transfer)......and you have quite a pile of illicit money.

=====================================================

THE HARRY REID CONNECTION---to the tax-exempt global do-gooder "Clinton Global Initiative Foundation."

PUT ON YOUR TINFOIL HATS TO CONNECT THE DOTS:

(1) Harry Reid's son Rory is in business w/ the Chi/Coms on a multi-billion dollar solar energy project; Cliven Bundy and his land are standing in the way.

(2) Reports say Bill Clinton recently went to China to panhandle for his tax-exempt "Clinton Global Initiative" foundation.

(3) The "Clinton Global Initiative" (NOT KNOWN for giving out local grants)---gave Harry Reid's granddaughter a grant for a Brooklyn, NY theatre she runs (what is a Brooklyn theatre's connection to "global initiatives?")

(4) A Nevada energy company also gave Reid's granddaughter's theatre group a grant.

================================================

"Money laundering" comes to mind. Could the Chinese be financing the Reid's solar project through donations to the Clinton Foundations....which is then laundered to Reid's granddaughter?

================================================

REFERENCE----HARRY REID IS LIVID THAT HIS GRAND-DAUGHTER HAS BEEN OUTED AS A RECIPIENT OF LAUNDERED CAMPAIGN CASH---Reid lashed out at reporters, saying, “My granddaughter has been the target of harassing phone calls, strangers tracking her down, knocking on her door and negative, unwanted attention on the Internet.” “This has gone too far and it needs to stop now,” Reid said. “I deeply regret any role I had in creating this situation but now, as a grandparent, I say enough is enough.”

============================================

Besides the "jewelry company" financed by her grandfather, Ryan Elisabeth Reid runs the Sprat Theater Company, a small theater in Brooklyn, which is also coming under scrutiny. According to Sprat’s Theatre Company Web site, it has received grants/contributions from:

<><> the Clinton Global Initiative (connected to global terrorism via its onetime Muslim Brotherhood employee),
<><> two major Las Vegas foundations: Caesar’s Foundation, and the NV Energy Foundation.

NOTE NV Energy Foundation---is a non-profit division of NV Energy (a public utility). The NV Energy utility is a subsidiary of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company which took over in 2013....and is now owned by a Warren Buffet unit.

BTW, here's Harry w/ his grand-daughter....the one who got $31,000 in laundered campaign funds for her "jewelry company" and grants from Clinton and Nevada energy foundations.

Reid and granddaughter Ryan Elisabeth Reid.

[yoe]

..." now that Reid has admitted to his contemptible mendacity..." do taxpayers need to pay their tax dollars into Harry the liar's pension? I would like to think NOT...however that might take an ACT of CONGRESS if it were at all possible....maybe a petition to have his retirement pay stopped...after all he let this country be taken over by the Muslim Brotherhood....Reid I've no doubt doesn't need that money anyway...he has been wheeling and dealing the whole time he has been in office......Reid is beyond despicable.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Reid. He has had more experience.

Wonder who put “the big hurt” on his face and why? Wouldn’t have anything to do with the Mob, would it? Just asking.

History factoid: Alan Dorfman, RIP - double-tapped for skimming money from the mob casinos.

Any coincidence that Reid was once Nevada’s Gaming Commissioner? Just asking.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

To #7. Re Harry’s bruises. He should have paid the girl.

[From The Deer Stand]

A guy in a trench coat on a dark corner told me that Harry Reid hasn’t paid any income taxes for 10 years. Must be true. ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, etc. all have my permission to report this story.

[Liz]

He might have paid his taxes (/smirk) but Harry
Reid fast-tracked visas to questionable people.

2/3/15---Harry Reid Fast-Tracked Visas to Chinese 'Investors'

ABC-TV reports on suspicious visas being fast-tracked -- and the role top Democrat, Harry Reid, played. Officials overseeing a federal program that offers an immigration short-cut to wealthy foreign investors have ignored pointed warnings from federal agents and approved visas for some immigrants suspected of having committed fraud, money laundering, and even one applicant with alleged ties to a child porn website, an ABC News investigation has found.

The shortcomings prompted DHS concerns that the boutique immigration program would be exploited by terrorists, according to internal documents obtained by ABC News.

“It is shocking,” said Sen. Charles Grassley, an Iowa Republican. “Particularly when you have F.B.I. and other law enforcement agencies that are saying national security could be compromised or is being compromised -- that's enough for us to be concerned.”

Five different Homeland Security whistleblowers spoke with ABC News about a range of cases where visas were approved despite numerous red flags. They said objections were often ignored because the immigration program is so popular within the Obama Administration and with members of Congress from both parties.

===============================================

In an earlier statement, Sen Charles Grassley (Rep-Iowa) exposed the visa
program----Grassley said ICE identified key vulnerabilities in EB-5 visas

1) Export of sensitive technology/economic espionage.

2) Use by foreign government agents/espionage.

3) Use by terrorists.

4) Investment fraud by regional center.

5) Investment fraud by investors.

6) Fraud conspiracies by investors and regional center.

7) Illicit finance/money laundering.

=========================================================

Obama's hand-picked henchman, USCIS' Leon Rodrigues, oversees EB-5 visas. Under Obama/Rodrigues' purview---EB-5's are said to involve major threats to US national security:

NEED TO KNOW----ARE REID/OBAMA/RODRIGUES SELLING US CITIZENSHIP TO:

<><> (a) MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS,

<><>(b) ISIS TERRORISTS,

<><> (c) FOREIGNERS FINANCING THE OVERTHROW OF THE US GOVT.

=============================================

Rodriguez's confirmation hearings revealed he was a board member of Casa Maryland---a Third World pressure group pushing for unlimited immigration on behalf of foreign governments. Rodrigues also has connections to foreign pressure groups across the nation.

[logic101.net]

How can you be sleazier than Harry Greed?

As far as the story two things,

1) It worked that justifies it (liberal/fascist SOP)

2) At this point, what difference does it make?
