We say “Brent the Bennie,” because Brent was the beneficiary of over three million in campaign funds from a corporate source, which means, “Here is your money dude, now shut the fuck up and let’s do this thing!’
Well, remember how the U.S. Supreme Court was currently considering whether Benjamin violated the due process rights of coal operator Hugh Caperton and his company, Harman Mining, by refusing to recuse himself from a case that pitted Caperton against Massey Energy, whose CEO, Don Blankenship spent millions of his own money to help Benjamin win a seat on the court blah blah blah…..
Well guess what bitches?!
“The U.S. Supreme Court ruled yesterday, JUNE 8th, that BENJAMIN shouldn’t have participated in court decisions after receiving about $3 million from Massey Coal for his campaign!”
“This decision is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy!” CalPatty Press
Finally the United States Supreme Court agree’s with what the CalPatty Press has been saying all along!
Justice Kennedy wrote…
“Just as no man is allowed to be a judge in his own cause, similar fears of bias can arise when…a man chooses the judge in his own cause,”
“And applying this principle to the judicial election process, there was a serious, objective risk of actual bias that required Justice Benjamin’s recusal,” Justice Benjamin is the justice that muddied up the waters of the “TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE” case still being fought in the federal courts in Virginia. He changed his vote at the last minute the same week the MASSEY COAL CASE was on the docket. Also Justice Maynard sided with Benjamin on that case– much the way they both chose taking large amounts of cash and paid escorts (prostitutes) that included living the high life in Europe —being big shots with the booze and the bitches—while they both (Justices Benjamin and Maynard) sold their souls to the devil Don Blankenship.
Maynard paid his price to the devil in last May’s primary elections where he got his ass kicked and tossed onto to the street like the bitch he is.
Call it what you want, they all got caught and it was all broadcast on National News!
NOW it is time for Benjamin to have to answer for all of his wrongdoings!
In a feature article, written by Supreme Court public information officer Jennifer Bundy, said this: “
Collegiality and wit are also characteristics that Justice Benjamin brings to the court. Many tense situations have been alleviated by his ability to defuse bickering with a funny anecdote.”
Lets see, he could say,
“I plead insanity I was just crazy about that three million dollar bribe!”
We heard Bennie mention that he also wants to say bye bye to Spike!
Hello I am not a Crook it just appears that way...uh.
Finally, I also wish to offer a heartfelt good-bye to departing Chief Justice Elliott “Spike” Maynard who I have spent a lot of time with chasing down some hot French women on the French Riviera, drinking wine from the ample french breasts, but Spike has ably served this state for many decades. When he wasn’t forcing himself on that cute 23 year old chick from Paris, Justice Maynard has been a pleasure to work and to party with these last four years and especially during the last year when I served as “back-up” to the Chief, boy did Donny hook us up with some kick ass chicks from WVU!/…and a half a kilo of coke, damn those bitches can drink when they are packing their cute little noses! Well, at any rate I hate to see my co-hort in crime Spike go, but at least Blankenship hooked the dude up with a couple of kick ass blow jobs from those frenchies, ohh la la!
We at the CalPatty Press have to say this to Brent!
YOU ARE BUSTED BITCH!
Listen, it is already to go, i bought us two tens from Paris to handle and hold... and we will get drunk and fuck the holy bejesus out of them all week!! French titties!! Come on Spike you can't say no to this!

Just goes to show you, that West Virginia NEVER handles it’s own corruption!
CORRUPTION will only be handled by an outside source with greater power. WV is much too corrupt to even address it’s own wrongdoing and corruption.
Unless another “outside” source gets their teeth hooked into some bad shit from WV the corrupt creeps that are made up of 95% lawyers that have taken over the state of WV by use of the Freemason Secret Society and pure underhanded home cooked politics…all is doomed!
This proves that the entire state is built on castles made of sand!

“Politics has always been a dirty game. Now justice is, too,” wrote author John Grisham, whose latest novel “The Associate” is based on Massey’s coal money financing a Supreme Court justice.
In Grisham’s novel, a Wall Street predator is convinced the court is not friendly enough and he decides to try to purchase himself a seat on the Court. The cost is a few million dollars, a drop in the bucket.
Monday’s Supreme Court decision reversed the West Virginia court ruling for Massey!!

Former Grantsville Police Chief J. D. Nicholson is DEAD!
No houses fell on his sister, but a couple of baseball bats fell on his head!
… and we hear led to his sudden… and as of today, unknown cause of death!
The former Chief of Police of Grantsville, county seat of Calhoun County died yesterday.
We would say the cause of death of the former Grantsville Police Chief was the obvious beating he took at the hands of two assailants, who also could have been troopers in plain clothes for all we know… and for how hush hush it all has been!
But, the real cause of death is that JD was the former Chief of the POLICE in Grantsville West Virginia and a curse has come down upon that country little town and all the public officials that are connected to it, or have been… will eventually have to suffer untimely and mysterious deaths!
The Calhoun Curse!
Usually cop beatings become hush hush when beaten by someone sponsored only by a member of the corrupt elite.
Two years in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan just to come back to Calhoun County and get his brains beat in. What ain’t right about that?

BODY OF MELODY RUSH AT MEDICAL EXAMINER’S OFFICE – Discovered On Sycamore Creek New Year’s Day
(01/02/2009)
The State Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death of a Calhoun woman identified as Melody Rush, whose lifeless body was discovered beside Sycamore Creek early New Years Day.
Rush, in her early 30s, had been to the George Parsons residence at Russett New Year’s Eve night, after which her sister called 911 about 2 a.m. Thursday, stating she was missing from her car.
The car was near the Parsons residence, apparently stuck or stalled, after which she apparently fell over a steep hillside landing near Sycamore Creek, according to Sheriff Allen Parsons.

It is my understanding that ht and lucy will be indicted before the grand jury. If indeed the dope was ht’s then lucy was right in the middle of it also. They both need locked up! neither of them have been out as i seen where they hiding at?
This was posted over 18 months ago, and nothing has changed since, nobody has faced any jail, or conviction. See how they do it when the snitches and bitches are all up and in the same place. Calhoun County, where there ought to be a bounty on a Hot Toddy and that ole Lunacy Lucy, but spare the Gila Monster!

Who placed the curse?
Is Matt Minney on the list?
So, it took all this time and effort and TAX PAYERS DOLLARS for the WV judges to realize that there is such a thing as “conflict of interest”!!!! Jeezus!!!! Wow. The intelligence level is astounding.
I’ve been seeing a lot of this kind of thing lately, all over the place.
Millions of bucks spent to discover the obvious.
Like “The sun effects our climate”….
Great big giant “DUH” awards should be handed out with stuff like this…
Now, if someone could simply figure out which cops were involved in the double homicide…
Editors note: Matt Minney decided to sell his place and get out while the getting was good, he didn’t like being on the same list as the Special Prosecutor to Calhoun County, Gerald B Hough, and became concerned when the price on his head became so small in size. Aim small miss small.
The Calhoun Cops that were involved in the double homicide are…

If John Cash were to have been successful in getting his bail lowered and released, then, for sure, another couple of deaths by gunfire would have happened, soon thereafter. More scandal, more death, followed by more silence, unless of course one of them gets scared all of the sudden and rolls.
Are there bad cops involved in this unfortunate event?
Of course, the elite would never miss out on an opportunity to make a quick score, just by the fact they are controlling all the incriminating data. The demon has already given the person in charge the message they want to promote, destroying all faith in the one true god and the one true religion. The faith of all in seeking the truth has been corrupted by exposure to the direct works of the devil, driven by the unskilled and uninterested power elite of Central West Virginia.
The devil will make certain things fall into place for the elite, but it will be through the guidance of a demon! The elite will always follow the devils plan!
A common man knows in his heart that he shall not murder and he shall not steal, but the power elite do not play by these rules.
Keeping holy only on the seventh day is certainly not the answer!
This is not the natural law, and God can change the day in which he is to be honored, it is time to honor god everyday and ask for help to battle these outrageous and overpowering forces of evil.
Our strength must come from within; and only by becoming more effective individuals do we have a chance in coming together to fight the evil that will overcome us all, if not stopped by our own minds and our own power.
jamtart // June 11, 2009 at 4:16 p
Here is something to think about. If the Elite are serving the devil then they are already dead in the eyes of god. So killing them wouldn’t be murder, would it?
Editors note: Yes, it still is, we can’t be just the same as them, but nice thought.

GOD NEEDS SOME HELP NOW BECAUSE THEY LET CASH OUT OF JAIL AND IT DID NOT COST HIM A CENT–HE WAS RELEASED WITH NO MONEY DOWN–SEE YOU AROUND–BYE BYE
Calhoun Prosecutor Shelly DeMarino said John Franklin Cash, 38, of Elizabeth is “No longer a suspect in the murder investigation.”
Looks like the lady prosecutor Shelly gave herself over to the devil!
Cash’s arrest, according to the State Police’s criminal complaint, had linked him as being a suspect in the murders.
DeMarino made her comment in open court during a bond reduction hearing.
Cash was being held on $105,000 bond on several drug charges.
While the bond was not reduced, the court allowed Cash to be released from Central Regional Jail on a personal recognizance bond.
Someone needs to be praying the rosary every day and going to confession because when they just let dude out, something is a going south…and it could be Cash!
calpattypress // June 11, 2009 at 4:36 p
John CASH went from 105k bond (and because the lady prosecutor treats him like Todd Smith,) then he walks out of jail with no money, even on the drug charges?
Did he snitch real good on someone?
That is how CTS does it, even if he has to make it up!
… or will the elite have just the chance they need to shut Cash up forever?!

NOTICE: On April 3, 2008 the Court granted a petition for rehearing in this matter. This opinion is therefore withdrawn and no longer effective.
No. 33350 Hugh M. Caperton, Harman Development Corporation, Harman Mining Corporation, Sovereign Coal Sales, Inc. v. A. T. Massey Coal Company, Inc., Elk Run Coal Company, Inc., Independent Coal Company, Inc., Marfork Coal Company, Inc., Performance Coal Company, and Massey Coal Sales Company, Inc.
Starcher, J., dissenting:
The majority’s opinion is morally and legally wrong.
The majority opinion is morally wrong because it steals more than $60 million dollars from a man who was the victim of a deliberate, illegal scheme to destroy his business. The majority opinion is legally wrong because it uses erroneous legal reasoning to justify an immoral result.
Make no mistake _ a West Virginia jury heard from all the witnesses for both sides, and decided that Mr. Don Blankenship directed an illegal scheme to break Mr. Hugh Caperton’s business. No one says that the jury was wrongly instructed. No one says they didn’t hear all the evidence. In fact, the majority opinion concedes, “the facts of this case demonstrate that Massey’s conduct warranted the type of judgment rendered in this case.” Yes, that’s right, the majority of the members of this Court says that the Boone County jury’s verdict was fully justified! Therefore, in this aspect of the case, our Court’s opinion is unanimous.
Let’s not forget why the jury’s verdict was justified: the jurors looked Mr. Blankenship in the eye and concluded that he was lying, and that Mr. Caperton was telling the truth.
The majority opinion says: “That doesn’t matter” _ it all should have been handled in Virginia. To which argument, one must respond: “Horse puckey!”
The Virginia case was about a single narrow contract issue. There was nothing in the Virginia case about Mr. Blankenship’s grand scheme to crush Mr. Caperton and his business. According to the jury’s findings, that scheme was hatched in West Virginia and carried out in West Virginia. Mr. Caperton had every right to try his case in West Virginia _ and he did, and he won.
Now three members of this Court have ruled that even though it is a fact that Don Blankenship illegally took over $60 million dollars from Hugh Caperton _ he can get away with it scot-free. Talk about crime in the suites!
Finally, I would be remiss if I did not briefly speak to the multiple claims made by the Massey parties that I should remove myself from the consideration of the instant case because I have publicly decried the one-man smear tactics that Mr. Blankenship brought to our most recent Supreme Court election.
As a constitutional officer elected by the people, I have a right and duty to speak out about the administration of our justice system, including the conduct of judicial elections. I can have opinions, and still do my job fairly. I do decry murder and domestic violence and I speak out on it, and I also sit as a judge and hear cases involving people who are charged with those offenses.
I am one judge voting on this case who can say that I owe nothing to Mr. Blankenship one way or another _ he did nothing to hurt or hinder my election. He did not fund my campaign, nor am I a social friend of his. It has been amusing for me to see Mr. Blankenship trying with all his might to create the circumstances where I would be forced to step aside and let him have in toto the kind of Court he wants _ for example, he has said he will be “targeting” me in the next election if I run. Fortunately, the public can see through this kind of transparent foolishness, just as a West Virginia jury saw through his lies in court.
What is sad is that a majority of this Court is telling a West Virginia jury that their work to bring about justice was a complete waste.
Accordingly, I dissent.
- – Larry V. Starcher
Editors note: It was Starcher and Albright that voted in favor of the “Travesty of Justice”case which was on the docket and heard around the same time as Massey coal which split the court politically. Of course the “Travesty” case offered no french whores or any fancy vacation paid for, or even had three million to give Benjamin to keep him from changing his vote at the last minute. I think we all discovered late in 2007 and proved now by facts, that even the Supreme Court had three justices that are crooked as hell, and that would be Davis for hearing a case where her best friend was awarded 25 million and also included the now famous wrongdoings of Brent and Spike.
Weez was all a wonderin why ole SPIKE smelled so funny for so long. It was all that french perfume.
Now the Travesty case is winning in Federal court, if it does finally win, then the little Crooked County up the Crooked river will never be able to pay the costs for ten years, nor will the Crooked little city that will be found liable for “just making shit up!” For more than a generation to come they will be broke and paying for a mistake that all started with a few Crooked Public officials– that have all become very well known in the last couple of years. Also, in that case in court in Virginia Gerald B Hough and his main state witness Marilyn Matheny of Wood county are being considered having been involved in criminal activity for their part in knowingly providing a fraudulent appraisal of value for evidence to a grand jury,not once, but twice.

Calhoun Underground made this interesting and accurate statement about 18 months ago.
(Prophetic look at the future of Central WV and Calhoun County)
One thing is for certain. Calhoun County is no longer a small and unheard of place. We have the dubious pleasure of being INFAMOUS for being at the bottom of most charts and graphs, for school kids pooping in each others faces (!), for astounding negligence and corruption on a grand scale within the legal system, for some of the craziest stories imaginable which by fate or destiny alone have gone NATIONAL. Our story rivals anything you might hear on “Prairie Home Companion”, featured on Public Radio, about fictional places like “Lake Woebegone”… And it’s only JANUARY!

F JOHN OSHOWAY Very bad defense attorney
Oshoway is a public pretender and is paid by the state to defend GUILTY people that are better off with a plea bargain. If you want a trial attorney to defend you on trumped up West Virginia charges DO NOT hire this attorney!
I have proof of how he botched my case and will share that with anyone that asks. My case went all the way to the WV Supreme Court where it was a 3 to 2 decision against me,when Benjamin changed his vote.
Justice Albright was highly critical of Oshoway for withholding evidence that WOULD have proved my innocence!
“I was never informed that I was waving any statute of limitation when Oshoway instructed the jury on a lessor included offense.”
(above quote from federal court record)
By hiring Oshoway I lost my career, a 100k job, and my business! Everything! On page 240 of the circuit court record Crooked County Judge Facemire threatens Oshoway with getting no more state awarded cases, therefore cutting off his income from the state, if he did not play ball with the crooked court agenda. My appellate counsel and consulting attorneys agreed. F John is bad lawyer and actually was involved in illegalities with Gerald B Hough.
The court reporter was not suppose to include the whispered comment between the judge and Oshoway, because he brought him up close to tell him that off the record, but the reporter unaware typed the conversation into the court record. Actually EVERYTHING that is said is suppose to be on the record. But, crooked judges like Facemire pull this crap and thought his girl would cover for him, but somehow it became part of the court record, mainly because the court reporter was unaware at the time that an underhanded deed was being done. So, it was recorded just as stated.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) — They are some of West Virginia’s finest, but one night of the year is a special one for a selected member of the West Virginia State Police.
This year, Corporal Fred Hammack took home the top honors as he was named Trooper of the Year. He was given the award Saturday night in downtown Charleston.
“Your peers notice that you’re doing a job above and beyond I would feel that that would be one of the proudest moments in your career, and in turn, it gives their families something to be proud of,” said Lonnie Carpenter, vice-president of the West Virginia Troopers Association,
Hammack works out of the Spencer detachment of the West Virginia State Police.
Editors note:Trooper Hammack got trooper of the year without having to beat up any underage teens, imagine that. Or maybe he was promised trooper of the year if he keeps quiet about what he knows about the Michael and Julie Flanagan Murder.
Don Blankenship Statement about US Supreme Court Ruling // June 14, 2009 at 10:25 p
The following is a personal statement from Don L. Blankenship.
“I was born in Appalachia and have spent almost my entire life as a resident of West Virginia. I have seen this State rated at or near the bottom in almost every ranking related to business and quality of life for decades, and that troubles me.
“As a result, I often speak out and try to help change West Virginia for the better. In 2005, I worked to defeat a pension bond referendum that likely saved West Virginia pensioners $1.5 billion. In 2006, I fought to repeal the State food tax, which I believe hurts the State’s working poor.
“The judicial election of 2004 was no different. I decided to oppose the candidacy of Justice Warren McGraw because I felt that his decisions and behavior were typical of the problems we have faced in West Virginia and Appalachia for too long. I was not the only one. Doctors and business and civic leaders voiced great opposition to Justice McGraw. Every newspaper, but one, endorsed Justice McGraw’s opponent Brent Benjamin and he won the election by a wide margin. Nearly every business leader in West Virginia opposed McGraw’s candidacy in the primary election but felt he was unbeatable in the general election, yet hardly any of these businesses had cases before the court.
“Simply put, I helped defeat a judge who had released a pedophile to work in a local school, who had driven doctors out of state, and who had cost workers their jobs for thirty plus years. I think this effort helped unchain West Virginia’s economy and benefited working families. I have never heard the out-of-state lawyers who have attacked me explain, or even be asked, why they made contributions in support of Justice McGraw. I have also never seen them involved in any other issue of civic concern in our State.
“Like millions of other Americans I contributed my time, my energy and, yes, my money to oppose a candidate I disagreed with personally and politically. It is unfortunate that the Supreme Court’s ruling is being reported as a matter of corporate influence and judicial review. This is not and was not ever about the company I have served for more than 27 years or the industry I have worked for the majority of my entire life.
“While I remain optimistic about the ultimate outcome of the Harman case as it heads back to West Virginia, I hope the Supreme Court’s ruling will not silence others from speaking out when change is needed. West Virginia has made significant strides since the defeat of Justice McGraw. Further improvement will only continue if West Virginians feel that they can freely exercise their right to ask for better government.”
