Little Falls...."Intolerance Capitol of Central Minnesota" NO ROOM FOR PEACE. Constitution Free Zone. To reach me: henselrobin56345@yahoo.com or 320-360-3931 between 9am and 6pm
Councilor Raquel Lundberg asked council at a work session recently, to eliminate the food service restriction during the hours of 8am and 4pm on Bed and Breakfasts(she has the only one in town). She also convinced council and city staff to remove any obligations in her conditional use permit that require off street parking for her B+B and Teas by Appointment customers.
part 1 of 2 public hearing 10-9-17
This is a part of her conditional use permit. So in essence she wants city planning commission to recommend to the city council, that her conditional use restriction of food service be modified or eliminated. Her buddies Councilor Frank Gosiak and Council President Jeremy Hanfler are on the planning commission. Hanfler is the planning comm president. Remember when Frank Gosiaks sister( former mayor Cathy VanRisseghem) was advertising on her official mayoral Facebook page for a few chosen businesses, like Waller House B+B and Hilmerson RV(her good buddies) all from behind the desk of her other job, CEO of Little Falls Conventuon and Visitors Bureau( which was likely a conflict of interest and illegal under the city charter)?
part 2 of 2 public hearing 10-9-17 planning commission votes unanimously to recommend the language that only allows food service from 8am-4pm be stricken from the ordinance. That means that Councilor Raquel Lundberg's proposed food service during her murder mystery dinners by appt. could last until midnight. Car doors will be slamming in that neighborhood more than the neighbors like. Betcha. And if the council approves this, this applies to other bed and breakfasts anywhere in town. Rule applies to everybody the same. Right?
This is a huge conflict of interest for Raquel Lundberg. City council better not eliminate this part of her existing current conditional use permit. For years she and the Wallers got by with operating an illegal motel/restaurant in a residential district. City turned a blind eye.
I should not be the only one in town, willing to keep them honest. This is just one of hundreds of examples of dishonest, opportunity thieving council, service club members and city staff operate to pocket all they can.
Ought to make you mad as heck they get by with it.
We all pay the bill when they steal opportunities because of their networking, grant sucking thievery.
Above is the sign I taped together at the top of the sign below to create a sandwich board that I placed directly in front of my own chair, in the first row at Little Falls city council chambers on June 3rd, 2013. Why didn't Terry Lehrke print what my speech said on this particular sign? ("Birth Defects...depleted uranium and white phosphorus)...... https://www.aclu-mn.org/en/news/dissent-patriotic-do-our-city-councils-want-listen
Well I'll tell you why. She has connections to Camp Ripley. One of her relatives is in the National Guard(as,I recall her son perhaps?)
I even shared with her after the council closed the meeting abruptly after only 3 minutes, that Camp Ripley uses White Phosphorus AND depleted uranium.
How do I know that? Because it's in the Camp Ripley Range Regulations every year that white phosphorus(a deadly poison used extensively during the Vietnam War) cannot be used in wetland areas. But all other areas of the numerous bombing ranges,Ripley has, it's ok to bomb with white phosphorus.
The council and other audience members(who included George VanRisseghem- former mayor Cathy VanRisseghem's hubby , Charlotte VanRisseghem(Georgie's mommy), Linda Burgraff and her hubby, and a few other buddies of Mayor Cathy VanRisseghem(who also has close connections to Camp Ripley(Her daughter Andrea is married to Marty Skoglunds son and is employed by Camp Ripley or is a guard member. Marty Skoglund was for many years the environmental head at Camp Ripley) DISTURBED THEIR OWN MEETING. I just sat there quietly.)
http://mcrecord.com/2013/06/07/536840/ What a joke this article is. And Jim Chandler, as well as the council, city atty Toni Wetzel, and Paul Reuvers don't either. Pathetic. And why didn't Jim Chandler move forward when invited by President Don Klinker? Because he could see, that's why. As could all of the rest of the audience members.
The signs are only 40"tall, 4 inches higher than the backs of the 60-65 chairs that were in the audience area that night. Actually the signboard was only about 36-38" tall once I spread the bottom open so it would stand up on it's own. The one above, of live and dead children riddled with deformaties from U.S bombs over Fallujah, Iraq, faced the council. I wanted to prick their conscience, as every year council allows Col. St. Sauver (commander at Camp Ripley) to give his economic and environmental 30 minute presentation, on the agenda of city council meeting. Even though it has absolutely nothing to do with "delivery of city services" or "falls within the authority of the city." (Which they ask citizens to frame their public forum comments under)
The photo below, of the other side of the sandwich board, faced the audience and the local public access tv station videocamera.
The bottom 2 signs were on my hat. Free speech restricted here faced the council and Costly City Mistakes Made Here Routinely faced the audience and the tv camera. There were 60-65 chairs available and only 7 people in the audience. No sightline obstruction whatsoever, but the public was convinced because of Terry Lehrkes distorted framing of the truth. She should have stated all of this in her article in the Morrison County Record, official city newspaper(taxpayer funded). She left it out so readers would believe I had created an obstruction and disturbed their meeting.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Then this same false narrative was adopted by the Morrison County Attorneys office in their petition to the court in my illegal arrest and illegal conviction of commiting disorderly conduct on June 7, 2013......just 4 days after those friends and family members of Cathy Van Risseghem were invited forward after George said he coul dn't see.
They were invited to sit around the 4 work session 8' tables and numerous chairs that council always left up between the dais and the audience area....UNTIL they removed them on purpose on June 7th. Never before, had they ever removed them. City knew I was going to insist on sitting forward in same area. Because after the June 3rd abrupt meeting, when I was packing up my stuff, I said to Theresa Skorseth "oh interesting.... so now that THEY got to sit forward, so can we at the next meeting. Listening was Frank Gosiak and Jeremy Hanflers good buddy, Michael Krejci(a contractor for Jerry Abrahams CMAT TV). In fact, he likely recorded us. He then likely proceeded to tell both of these good buddies, what Theresa abd I intended to do at the next meeting.
Then the city staff removed the chairs and tables before the emergency council meeting on June 7th when I was arrested for insisting on sitting in that same darn area that those 7 mayoral buddies and family members had sat in.
Another big issue that Terry failed to report on, was the fact that because the mayor abruptly closed the June 3rd mtg, before they conducted any business, they failed to pass 2 sign required by their own sign ordinance, permits for 2 city events. One at the city owned golf course and one big banner for the annual city owned zoo event. What the public was not told is that these 2 banners had already been ILLEGALLY erected at the golf course and the zoo, the week before. So here again, the city knowingly violated their own sign ordinance law. Like I have said countless times, city council and mayor enact laws them break those laws. Crooked. Lawless council.....all of them. Current and former, except Alderman Brian Crowder...the only honest one amongst them.
Above sign was facing the audience and placed against my videocamera that was positioned up by the dais. The backside was facing council members.
Almost every public comment I have made since 2012 either pertains to councils hypocrisy and violations of their own darn laws, or my conviction that war does not work. Support the troops, bring them home. I believe there is no better place to let elected officials know about the dangers to everyone, and our own soldiers from our illicit/immoral/unconstitutional perpetual wars for corporations and US empire.
Plus, the League of Mn Cities recommends city councilors need to hear concerns on the local, county, state and federal level.
But it was Paul Reuvers(League of Mn Atty representing City of Little Falls for my free speech lawsuit that gave the wrong advice to city atty Toni Wetzel, to have LFPD Chief Greg Schirmers escort me out on June 7, 2013 and issue a bogus citation for disorderly conduct that has cost this city and state taxpayers upwards of half a MILLION NOW. Crazy. And it's not over yet....not by a longshot.
Most effective thing people can do is call city hall 320-616-5500 and demand council leave me alone from now on.....AND demand the immediate withdrawal from the League of Minnesota Cities membership. It was their bum advice after all that caused all of this legal expense. Course Paul Reuvers would live it, if city lined his pockets with another 200K+ should city council discriminate against me again. Go to city website for email addresses for all elected officials and Jon Radermacher city administrator. Do it Monday. If not then, when? After the next half a million in future mistakes?
Now you know the real story. My blog is the only legitimate news source in Morrison County.
Terry Lehrke, you should be ashamed of yourself. So should ECM Publishers.
Above recent example of another violation of my free speech. March 6, 2017....IT NEVER ENDS ■■■●●●•••

Theresa Skorseth (above) 9-18-17, exposes Little Falls local public access GRA TV very flawed Policies and Procedures, and city Cable Review Board shirking their duties as members of an official city committee. Their duties are part of the city charter.
Jodi Scott-Olson(above) 9-18-17 blasts the city council for illegally arresting which has cost taxpayers plenty, because of their costly mistakes.
Here's all the proof you need that Aaron and Becky Olson were given an illegal permit to install their illegal 6 foot frontyard fence. Now why would THEY be given an EXCEPTION to the zoning law? Because city administrator Jon Radermacher is the Kiwanis president and Aaron Olson is a member. Pretty ckear that opportunity hoarding/backscratching is alive and well at city hall. For more information on this put Aaron and Becky Olson in the search button on this blog and it will pull up my other posts about this lawbreaking.
An "after the fact" permit is given AFTER something was installed in violation of the law.
City of Little Falls even changed the fence law to allow 6 foot high fences all over town now. Won't that BEAUTIFY the city?
Thanks Olsons and city. Garbage cans on city streets everywhere 5 days a week, and 6 foot high frontyard fences.....what a combo.
I asked for the use of city hall, several years ago ....that is why this policy was created/enacted. Why weren't they smart enough to create a clause that allowed another governmental agency, different rules that would accommodate future needs? We have poor legal advisors, poor administrators and even dumber council presidents/mayors/councilors. That's why. Pathetic. And these are some of the highest paid people in the city, on your dime(all taxpayer funded).
All that needs to happen is for our "less than forthright" legislators Paul Gazelka and Ron Kresha get to work and find a way to "bend" the Mn bonding law.
Craig has to show up for check in at the Morrison County Jail on Sunday August 20, 2017 by 7pm AND HE DID!! Penalty gets a whole lot stiffer if this first time felon screws up again.
On August 9, 2017 Craig Van Brickey was sentenced in Morrison County Court. I was there, because his crime against me was still attached to the sentencing(he had a probation violation after he was sentenced for the crime against me.)
No wonder former Little Falls Police Officer Jeremy Doroff moved his family to Denver, Colorado and now works for the Denver Police Department. Who would blame him. The day Craig was arrested for making the terrorist threat, the jailer was pretty sure they also heard him threaten to harm Jeremy Doroff's family.
Let's hope this sentencing causes him to straighten up, before he becomes more of a menace to society and to his son and family. What a stain on Morrison County.
https://youtu.be/748i-1rNkyQ This is the squad car video the night of Dec. 15-2015 after Craig Van Brickey knocked down my "Who would Jesus bomb" sign at my legal seasonal display at Veterans Memorial Park in Little Falls, Mn. Listen as he incites Officer Jeremy Doroff. What a white supremacist. Pathetic maggot in human skin.
Mark Slupe, you are NOTHING like Chris Weis(former GRA TV manager). He had moral character AND a strong conscience. He obeyed the Constitution. He was fair. He was a great person.
No wonder you don't like Theresa Skorseth and my speech.
I suggest you study the First Amendment.
For those who have not watched this video Mark adores, you might want to take a peek.
The Morrison County Record does NOT WANT YOU TO SEE THIS..... Theresa and I were told 8-16-17 they would not print this guest editorial. We were asked to keep it to a letter to the editor 200 word limit. You got it, Terry Lehrke. Fasten your seat belt, the ride's gonna get bumpy.
AND NOW JAY SPILLUM RESIGNS......CAN YOU FIGURE OUT WHY?? I CAN.
These 2 speakers join the ranks of John Guandalo ilk types. Not saying that they have done similar things, but their speech is quite like former disgraced FBI agent John Guandalo who was recently charged with a crime against Sheriff Rich Stanek. One of the differences is that Shahram Hadian and Dr. Alyas Masih(who works at the VA in St. Cloud) put a religious spin to their divisive/narrow speech, designed to rile up the zealots of the right wing radical folks such as Nancy Judd from Browerville and the Central Minnesota Teaparty, as well as Chad Olson(Fort Ripley, Mn) and president of the Central Minnesota Teaparty PATRIOTS.
As a former law enforcement spouse of almost 20 years, I strongly agree that this DEADLY EXCHANGE must end. Why on earth would anyone be okay with our cops being trained by the Israeli military? Our police are being taught on techniques used to brutalize the Palestinians.
I was correct, that Ambrose is the son of Alyas Masih, a medical doctor who is going to speak at the Trojan Horse event at Granite City Baptist Church on September 14, 2017. His own recording of the event is below(the youtube link below)...and his brother could use some videorecording lessons.
None other than the Central Minnesota Teaparty and the Central Minnesota Teaparty Patriots are helping drum up all this fearmongering CRAP about Islam and Muslims. And yes folks....it's all pure crap. These people are afraid of the boogeyman evidently.
part 1 of 2 above....what Mark Slupe REALLY DOES NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW. Neither does Jay Spillum, president of the City of Little Falls Cable Review Board, or Jon Radermacher(city administrator Little Falls Mn.) or Leif Hanson(councilor Ward 1 and official board member(required) of the Cable Review Board, or Jill Moore(general manager of Great River Arts Association and Mark Slupe"s boss), or Scott Wonderlich (president of the Great River Arts Association and likely responsible for having written the GRA TV policies and procedures.)https://www.aclu-mn.org/en/news/dissent-patriotic-do-our-city-councils-want-listen
Part 2 of 2(above) What Mark Slupe and the city of Little Falls and all the above mentioned do NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT the complete failure to adhere to the policies and procedures of GRA TV and the failure of the City of Little Falls Cable Review Board's responsibilities to supervise GRA TV and THEIR POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.
City of Little Falls Cable Review Board quarterly meeting on July 17, 2017. PATHETIC and ONCE AGAIN A CITY BOARD IS OPERATING ILLEGALLY(Not doing what they are required to do)
I STRONGLY OPPOSE THE PROPOSED POLYMET MINE, AND FOR ALL OF THE SAME REASONS GIVEN IN THIS STELLAR ARTICLE. Rick Nolan claims to be fighting for the Great Lakes at the same time he is pushing for a mining operation that will surely pollute them(especially Lake Superior)....this is madness. Pure and simple.
