Track Palin returns again

How is Track Palin doing? By Tim Lindell
In comments the other day, Alex Raye asked "I wonder how Track Palin is doing?" This got me curious about how Private First Class Palin's unit is faring in Iraq, especially since Saturday was the day of Iraqi provincial elections. So I hope you all don't mind if I do a little bit of milblogging on this normally political blog. February 1, 2009

Lindell writes about Track's unit and his mother.
Track was home last month. Track Palin to Return Home This Weekend
by Ron Devito on September 18, 2009

Track is among the lucky, not all veterans have a home to return to.

More female veterans are winding up homeless

This is rarely mentioned: Military Prescribing Massive Amounts of Pain Medication; Punishes Those Who Become Dependent
The treatment of many of Track's peers is one of the biggest failures of the military and addiction is rampant. It is a tragic never ending problem.
Troops reportedly popping more painkillers
Narcotic pain-relief prescriptions for injured U.S. troops have jumped from 30,000 a month to 50,000 since the Iraq war began, raising concerns about the drugs' potential abuse and addiction, says a leading Army pain expert.

The sharp rise in outpatient prescriptions paid for by the government suggests doctors rely too heavily on narcotics, says Army Col. Chester "Trip" Buckenmaier III, of Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington.

Numerous heartbreaking struggles are playing out across the country.
More than a year later, they still don't know if the medication their loved ones were taking for post-traumatic stress disorder contributed to their deaths.
Three other West Virginia servicemen have died in their sleep while undergoing PTSD treatment after returning from Iraq.

The Palin's have secrets and confusion surrounding birthdates, it is a little mysterious when Track was born and identification of parents is an issue with the Palins. As far as I can tell Track is now 20 years old. We think Todd is his father. It is questionable due to the lack of truth telling. Todd. ||
Track Palin birthday: Sarah Palin’s son conceived out of wedlock?
There is a rumor on Track Palin’s birthday. Sarah Heath eloped with Todd Palin on August 29, 1988. An old traffic offence record from a speeding ticket on Track CJ Palin stated his birthdate as April 20 1989.
Track prefers not to be forthright about his politics. It was mentioned he is not a Republican, he may follow Todd's thinking when it comes to party affiliations. What is he fighting for?

Our very own local (Anchorage, Alaska) talking heads discussing reports that Track Palin, son of VP nominee Sarah Palin was involved in a vandalism drinking spree in which (if true) he cut the brake lines to a number of school buses.

E-mail? Alaska, get crackin'!

Long wait continues for Palin e-mails
RECORDS: State says it's overwhelmed, but critics cry foul.

Public records requests made more than a year ago for Sarah Palin's e-mails still haven't been filled by the state, and the Alaska Democratic Party chairwoman alleges it's an attempt to bury the past.

"I think they're hiding something, I think this is a travesty of justice,"
state Democratic Party Chairwoman Patti Higgins said Wednesday.
"The law says they have 10 days to do it."

Public records in Alaska are generally supposed to be provided within 10 days, although the state can extend the deadline for more complicated requests.

MORE THAN A YEAR!!!!

This is a travesty of justice.
The state can't work out a way to release them in increments?
If they are in cahoots with her, they would delay and obstruct. She makes everybody look bad and the details will be the kiss of death for some. The people can't find a way to file a class action suit against the state and rogue quitter (who earned no benefits) gov ? It is a crime what all they are doing.

ADN excerpt:

In the request, Higgins sought Palin's schedules and calendars between Jan. 1, 2007, and Sept. 15, 2008. The Democrats also sought various categories of e-mails for about the same time period, including:

• All e-mails between Palin and state Rep. John Coghill, R-North Pole, or between Palin and state Sen. Fred Dyson, R-Eagle River, with the words "abortion" or "AGIA," which is short for the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act.

• All e-mails from Palin containing the following words: babysitter, childcare, McCain, Obama, Democrat, Huckabee, Wal-Mart, Eskimo, Natives, Kuwait, passport, Ruedrich or Kopp.

• All e-mails between Palin and her husband, Todd, with any of the following words: vote, veto, budget, oil, Monegan or Wooten.

• All e-mails between Palin and her sister, Molly McCann, with the words Wooten or Monegan (referring to figures connected with the so-called "Troopergate" affair.)

Another of the pending requests is by Anchorage activist Andree McLeod, who made a request on Oct. 1, 2008, for all of Sarah and Todd Palin's e-mails concerning official business for the previous two years. McLeod reacted to the latest extension by writing state officials Wednesday that

"it now seems Governor Parnell needs to keep Alaskans in the dark."

Jones said "we continue to work hard" to complete review of the records requests"

Sherry Johnston & Diana Palin's court docket "Media Coverage / Application and Approval"

Diana Palin committed some serious crime. She also placed her 4 year old daughter in a situation where the child could have been seriously injured or shot dead.

Most of us would suffer public humiliation and scrutiny. Diana Palin gets privileges few of us know. Sherry Johnston got the pink handcuffs.

LisanTX found this Media Coverage / Application and Approval from April 3, 2009 on the Dockets page of the court records State of Alaska vs. Diana D. Palin.

Diana Palin deserves due process. It is not just if she is given special treatment, even if it looks legal. Phil Spector had both money and name recognition and his court proceedings did not obstruct media, the Fourth Estate. Diana is not the likely person that her media black out protects the most. Why does the whole state of Alaska have no interest in this?

What a long strange day it was in Palin land. Sarah Palin not only keeps ghostwriters she is a ghost. Has it actually been over a month since she went missing? She is definitely missing, not the slightest indication that she has made any attempt to communicate or that she exists.

It is stupefying they would have staff or ghost writers do everything in her name and pathetic she is incapable of handling the slightest teachable moment:
shannynmoore: Palin Details Death Panels From Facebook
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was invited to testify before the New York state Senate Aging Committee by its Chairman, Rev. Ruben Diaz. Instead of testifying, Palin has submitted written testimony, and publicizes it via her latest Facebook "Note."

Palin has not so much as twittered or made a phone call since the dinner with publishers at Michael's in New York City. Not one word, not a message? Nothing. No one has seen her. There may have been a sighting if she did return to Alaska.

We are talking about a non writing ghost, Sarah. The handlers behind the scene are releasing the batshit crazy lady with new writers and reworked neocon material. The idea is to make the gullible believe she has her act together.

What happened to this Sarah? Where is she?
That's not all, they are in overkill with their new Sarah Palin, she's not there, but she is selling the worst of dinner dates to the highest bidder. Some sucker will "win" dinner with two Palins, two minders and numerous conditions. If she shows up. Like with Diana, it will be secret no matter what.

Palin Details Death Panels From Facebook

Palin No Longer Writing Her Own Script

A terrified 4 year-old Palin and silence

The Mat-Su Valley is missing a court reporter?
Where is Sarah Palin's Diana? No body will say.
This much we know, the Valley has a drug epidemic that is devouring their children. While surrounded in majestic beauty they are frozen in hopelessness and despair when not self-medicating.

Diana Palin's criminal prosecution is beyond mysterious, it is one of the Valley's best kept secrets. Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on? No one at all is doing follow up on what is happening for the child or what the reset hearings are about?

Next Superior Court sentencing for Diana Palin is January 22, 2010. What was her plea?
We know her father, Big Daddy gadfly Jim Palin, was campaigning in Idaho at the end of August. It's said that Todd raised his half siblings, that would be Jim's children raised by Jim's child. Was Todd in court to support Diana? Todd Palin has been mainly MIA until rumors have him moving to Palmer for Willow to go to school. By now Sarah Palin and Piper are rumored to be in Alaska again. Why is the press silent about Diana Palin and the well being of her child?

We got that creepy feeling from Chuck Heath when he opened his mouth. The selective speaker, Jim Palin, is creepy for neglecting to show support to someone he fathered with one of his wives. I'm guessing he was married to Diana Palin's mother. Where is she? Is it the wife named Faye? When you are in a world famous dysfunctional family you deserve a little notoriety. Gadfly Palin gets a gig: Palins at Republican Women DHS Luncheon
February 25, 09 Miracle Springs Resort. Guest speakers: Faye and Jim Palin, parents of Todd Palin, parents-in-law to Sarah Palin.

The Palin machine is going into full military mode. The ghosts of Facebook helped her work for the Insurance Industry and Pharma with the stolen "death panel" concept. Moving along, the SarahPac Sarah Palin notes (Gryphen: Has Sarah returned to Facebook?) are repeating the old neoconservative mantra.

There are wounded to dead soldiers and reality is avoided, it is against the neocon principles to mention or allow facts to interfere with war. They rather have a celebrity auction.

And they think Levi's Ricky Hollywood gig is in bad taste. Unlike Diana Palin, Sherry Johnston gets plenty of press while sitting in a local prison awaiting her sentence. No one can say exactly what the Johnston team is getting at with the last Vanity Fair article but the fat lady didn't sing and Wasilla is the same old drug addled place no one wants to leave.

Levi Johnston witnessed a miracle?

Levi Johnston wants us to believe he witnessed a remarkable transformation that defies all logic. I can't wait for him to elaborate and tell detailed answers to the many questions he has provoked.

Throughout history when a miracle is witnessed more details and questions follow. Levi lived with the Palin family. He would know about her diet and physical regimen. He perhaps is privy to secrets that would benefit mothers to be of all ages who want to maintain their shape and health.

The photos to the left show how Sarah went from flat to a round pregnant tummy in 2 short weeks.
That is a miracle if true.

Gryphen Update: The baby Levi is talking about is Tripp.
The Palinistas are almost unanimous in saying that Levi is a liar.

The historic photo (right) was taken
at the Republican Governors Association (RGA) conference in Grapevine, Texas in April 2008. Right before the "wild ride" and Trig's "official" birth date. Ms. Palin and her husband kept the pregnancy secret for seven months and did not even tell family members that prenatal tests indicated that the child had Down syndrome.

Witnesses on the flight to Alaska say there was no indication that Sarah Palin was a woman in her mid forties with child. She did not tell them she leaked any fluid or that she spoke with her physician, Dr. Cathy Baldwin Johnson.

Sarah Palin: Shopping for a new husband?

Why not? She can learn from the best. First things first, a new wardrobe and make over is a must. Who better to show her the ropes but old pal Wendi Deng?

Miss Quitty Pants Palin has caused quiet a stir with the latest speculation that she will be doing a screech in Hong Kong at the 16th CLSA Investors’ Forum (Gryphen: in which France’s Credit Agricole is the major shareholder) on September 23, 2009. CLSA Strategy Report

Famous for marrying up, Wendi Deng Murdoch warmed hearts and inspired headlines around the world when she caught her man, Rupert Murdoch. 17 days after the ink dried on his Most Expensive Divorce papers, they were wed.
"Can't Buy Love from a Commie Triad Prostitute: Rupert Murdoch, 70, and Wendy Deng, 32"

What kind of bang for their buck could CLSA get if Miss Quitty Pants actually shows up?
CLSA Pulling A "Borat" On Sarah Palin "...well known for their cheeky takes on investment research"

It's all up in the air and sparked another flare up of "Will she show ~ Will she blow" (Nailinpalinnow) How many times can she do the old game? Always a game player, not actually a game changer the Scarah from Silla is not the first to have people asking a "Where is she?" Since she brought it up in her unwitting way, "Where is Wendi?"

We know where Sarah is not (her own family is not let in on the top secret info). She is not in Wasilla. That leaves the Murdochs, the China connection and Newt Gingrich words of wisdom to follow. (Newt # 3 an East Coast base of operations)

Rumor is saying Sarah is in New York, Bristol was with a full double stroller (possibly with unmentioned paramour) at a fair in Wasilla. No sign of hubby Todd but
he might be living with Willow off of the compound he built on weekends. Piper?
Two of Murdoch's six children, Grace and Chloe are the same age and would make nice playmates, if anyone could find the parents to see if they are in school or who home schools the little darlings?

Since Murdoch owns and controls much of the world it is hard to pin down the preferred real estate of the moment or where he would put up guests. The possibilities are endless.

Where is Sarah Palin's Diana?

Missing her Mom a terrified 4 year-old enters a house where an armed homeowner encountered serial burglar Diana Palin in the middle of a heist. (Doesn't the Palin family ever notice when someone has a problem?) What a sight that must have been for the police to see a poor child looking for her mother and finding the homeowner Theodore Turcott locked and loaded.


Last April it was news. Now only Sherry Johnston makes the news cycle. What is
happening with Diana Palin? Allegedly, the child is alright.

Ben Smith of POLITICO wrote about this: The extended Palin clan make Billy Carter and Roger Clinton look like model citizens.A Palin busted for Break and Enter in Wasilla

Diana is the half sister of Todd Mitchell Palin, former shadow governor and Sarah's beloved husband. Aunt Diana is a blood relation (gene pool) to Todd and Sarah's children. Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig. Diana would also be an aunt to Tripp Johnston, Levi's son and Sherry Johnston's grandson. They are all kin.

Todd and Diana's father is James F. "Jim" Palin of Seattle. He is now married to their stepmother, Faye Palin. (right photo)

This is not a small matter, you would think it would be a bigger outrage to take a 4 year-old to a burglary then to sell drugs to high school teens that were dealers turned informants. It is another sad story from the long ongoing Wasilla drug saga or the gorilla in the room no Wasillian wants to notice. It all goes on within a small area of the Mat-su Valley.

Todd and Sarah Palin

A month after she became governor, Sarah Palin's staff ushered Alaska's public safety commissioner into her private office. But Palin wasn't there (where is she now?). Her husband, Todd, had called the meeting. He was frustrated that his former brother-in-law remained on the job as a state trooper, and he prevailed upon the commissioner to get rid of him. "I thought that was odd and made me a little uncomfortable," said Walter Monegan, the commissioner, who later was fired by Gov. Palin. "We 're having it in the governor's office, and he's not the governor. I think he was trying to use state trappings to handle a personal issue ." The January 2007 meeting was part of a long pattern of pressure that she and her husband applied on state officials to try to get the trooper fired, according to an Alaska legislative report released Friday. The report said those contacts amounted to an abuse of power and a violation of the state's ethics laws, which prohibit using public office for personal benefit . But while the condemnation of now-vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin was the conclusion, the nearly 300-page report by investigator Stephen Branchflower was more about her husband. Todd Palin, the self- described "first dude" of Alaska, had extraordinary access to his wife's office, her staff and her power. Todd Palin spent about 50 percent of his time in the governor's office, making phone calls , participating in meetings or just hanging out, said Gary Wheeler, a member of Gov. Palin's security detail. "He had a significant influence, in that he was always interacting with the, the employees there," Wheeler told state investigators. "Any time I needed to get information to the governor, I would always go through Todd." The governor and her staff kept Todd Palin in the loop on a wide range of issues, copying him on e-mails about union matters, public relations and a bill requiring parental consent for abortions . His efforts to get Mike Wooten, Sarah Palin's sister's ex-husband, fired were extensive. Todd Palin held dozens of meetings and phone calls with state officials, alleging that Wooten threatened the Palin family , was too unstable to be a trooper, and was cheating the worker's compensation system. Todd Palin would not answer a question about the report during a campaign stop Saturday. GOP presidential candidate John McCain's spokesman in New Hampshire, Jeff Grappone, said Palin would not take questions from the media during his visit. But in an affidavit he provided to investigators, he made no apologies. "I have heard criticism that I am too involved in my wife's administration ," he wrote. "My wife and I are very close. We are each other's best friend. I have helped her in her career the best I can, and she has helped me." Taylor Griffin, a spokesman for John McCain's presidential campaign, compared Todd Palin's role to that of other political spouses. First lady Eleanor Roosevelt was a vocal player in labor civil rights issues, Hillary Rodham Clinton took on health care while first lady, and Nancy Reagan was a close adviser to her husband. "The role that Todd has played, I don't think is dissimilar from other spouses, and I think it's an entirely appropriate role," Griffin said. "And Todd will play an appropriate role as the spouse of the vice president." The legislative probe began as an investigation into whether Palin improperly fired Monegan for resisting efforts to fire Wooten. The report concluded that Monegan's firing was legal, because Palin had the right to choose her top administrators, but that the pressure Palin and her husband exerted to try to get Wooten fired was improper. Palin originally pledged cooperation with the legislative inquiry, which was approved by a bipartisan vote of a committee on which Republicans are the majority. After McCain tapped Palin as his running mate, however, accusations of political interference quickly pushed the personnel matter into the national spotlight. Democratic state Sen. Hollis French drew heavy criticism for saying the investigation could provide an "October surprise" for the McCain campaign. That allowed the McCain-Palin campaign to dismiss Friday's report as a political smear. The McCain campaign even issued its own rival report clearing Palin of all wrongdoing. "I think it did turn into a partisan circus," Palin said Saturday in a brief conference call with Alaska reporters. She said she was pleased that the investigation upheld her authority to fire Monegan. She said she disagrees with the report's finding that she abused her power. Though the committee's report reached some stinging conclusions, it was largely toothless. The Legislature has no authority to sanction Palin for ethical misconduct. That's up to the state Personnel Board, which is running a parallel investigation that Palin is cooperating with.

Blogger ignites firestorm in Dillingham, leaves her job

Public outrage over comments sparks her resignation

When Eileen Goode launched a blog last fall about her new life as a public radio reporter and news director in Dillingham, she started with a few jokes about drinking and fishing and incest.
The 28-year-old resigned from KDLG on Monday morning, she said, after a firestorm of outrage over the sometimes serious, sometimes mocking jabs she made at the town over problems like alcoholism and sexual abuse on her personal blog, titled "Chilly Hell" and subtitled
"I'm in Dillingham Alaska -- What's Your Excuse?"
Four comments from "Chilly Hell" Quam Fluctus Diversi, Quam Mari....
1. I hope you the best, you are alright. Thank you for finally getting us into the 21st century! Our funding up here is also based on all that socio economic devestation and violence, alcohol and sex crimes. Leave on ypur own terms, safety is a good reason...Your writing only got promoted and there is probably more video streaming to the station now, if not maybe more funding to hear your commentary should be found.

2. Thanks for the recap, Eileen, and sorry to hear that the folks who actually think what you've written it (albeit, perhaps, not how you've written it) haven't been able to stand up to support you. I wish that, instead of eloquent examples of intolerance as "Get out of Alaska" comments, the end result was "let's talk about this town, and how we can fix some of our problems."
