Convict TX Activist Bishop Guillory Lowered Crime in 10 Worst US Cities? Sex Parties & Strippers at his Palace? (video)

Bishop L J Guillory is a smooth talker. He can make you believe anything. Heck, he probably believes it himself! He started a "government oversight agency", Ombudsman International Inc, and many people believe that he was impersonating a DOJ official during a Jasper, TX Election. He calls himself the Ombudsman General. He is a convicted felon. He is no Bishop. He does not even act Christian with all the talk about strippers and the sex parties that go on at his "palace" in California that is not even owned by him (he just wants you to think it is his palace). He even tells the Jasper TX City Council that he put an end to or lowered crime in the top ten worst crime cities in the US!

Jasper, TX Officials Say Convict Activist "Bishop Guillory" Posed as a Department of Justice Agent in Election

Of Course, Guillory is going to pull the race card and call me racist for trying to put an end to corruption in East Texas. The fact is that I do not look at color of the bad guy. I go after the bad guys no matter what color their skin is! Like when I went after a White Justice of the Peace in Hardin County: Criminal Complaint Filed Against Lumberton Justice of the Peace Butch Cummings

 

Butch Cummings (a Justice of the Peace) even cursed and threatened me with bodily injury if I exposed that he had tried to rig his election by coercing his opponent to drop out of the race.

Jasper TX Councilman Tommy Adams Arrested for DWI - Jasper PD Shot Down by Attorney General

(update: I have just learned that the councilman was likely driving impaired by prescription drugs and not alcohol. This still results in a dwi charge because he was knowingly driving while impaired due to drugs.)

I have just confirmed with the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department (the County Jailer) that Jasper, TX City Council Member (mayor pro tem) Tommy Adams was arrested this afternoon (12-28-11) in Tyler County (Woodville, TX) and has been charged with Drunk Driving.

Tommy Adams is the only Jasper, TX City Council Member to survive the three member recall election in November 2011. The three council members were in the recall election because of their role in hiring a seemingly unqualified Jasper police chief, Rodney Pearson, in a back room deal. Pearson had a criminal record at the time of his hiring. Pearson was also just recently had charges filed against him by Beverly Rauscher. Rauscher, a 60 year old physician assistant, said Pearson groped her sexually while she was working at Complete Healthcare in Jasper, TX.

 

Texas Attorney General tells Jasper Police Department to Hand over the Recording

An open records request was made recently to the Jasper Police Department. The request was to get a copy of a recording of Police Chief Pearson allegedly talking inappropriately (sexual talk) on his police radio. The Jasper Police Department did not want to release the recording. Jasper PD asked the Texas Attorney General to make a determination about whether or not they had to release the recording. The Texas Attorney General shot down the PD’s request to withhold the information. The AG also pretty much told the PD that they did not know what they were doing by requesting to withhold the info because the PD did not even give the AG any reasons for wanting to withhold the info.

ATTORNEY GENERAL OF TEXAS

GREG ABBOTT

December 22, 2011

Captain Curtis C. Frame

Jasper Police Department

555 South Main

Jasper, Texas 75951

OR2011-18924

Dear Captain Frame:

You ask whether certain information is subject to required public disclosure under the Public Information Act (the "Act"), chapter 552 of the Government Code. Your request was assigned ID# 440205.

The Jasper Police Department (the "department") received a request for radio traffic involving a named individual during a specified period, including a reference to a "big black flashlight." (1) You state the department has no information responsive to the portion of the request pertaining to a "big black flashlight" during the relevant time period. (2) You ask whether the submitted information is responsive to the request and, if so, whether any of it is confidential and may not be released under the Act. We have reviewed the information you submitted.

Initially, we address your statement that "separation of protected information from non protected information could be a difficult task[.]" We note administrative inconvenience in responding to a request for information is not grounds for refusing to comply with a request under the Act. See Indus. Found. V. Tex. Indus. Accident Bd., 540 S.W.2d 668, 687 (Tex. 1976); Open Records Decision No. 497 (1988) (fact that it may be burdensome to provide information does not relieve governmental body of its responsibility under the Act). In this instance, the department has submitted information it deems is responsive to the request. Accordingly, we will determine whether any of the submitted information is excepted from disclosure.

Next, we must address the department's responsibilities under the Act. Section 552.301 of the Government Code prescribes the procedures a governmental body must follow in asking this office to decide whether requested information is excepted from required public disclosure. Pursuant to section 552.301(b) of the Government Code, a governmental body must ask for the attorney general's decision and state the exceptions that apply within ten business days after receiving the request. See Gov't Code § 552.301(b). Additionally, under section 552.301(e) of the Government Code, a governmental body is required to submit to this office within fifteen business days of receiving the request general written comments stating the reasons why the stated exceptions apply that would allow the information to be withheld. Although you generally ask whether the submitted information is excepted from required disclosure, as of the date of this letter you have not asserted any specific exceptions to disclosure or stated the reasons why any specific exception applies. Accordingly, we conclude the department has failed to comply with the procedural requirements of section 552.301 of the Government Code.

Pursuant to section 552.302 of the Government Code, a governmental body's failure to comply with the procedural requirements of section 552.301 results in the legal presumption that the information is public and must be released. Information that is presumed public must be released unless a governmental body demonstrates a compelling reason to withhold the information to overcome this presumption. See id. § 552.302; Simmons v. Kuzmich, 166 S.W.3d 342, 350 (Tex. App.--Fort Worth 2005, no pet.); Hancock v. State Bd. Of Ins., 797 S.W.2d 379, 381 (Tex. App.--Austin 1990, no writ) (governmental body must make compelling demonstration to overcome presumption of openness pursuant to statutory predecessor to section 552.302); Open Records Decision No. 630 (1994). A compelling reason exists when third-party interests are at stake or when information is confidential under other law. Open Records Decision No. 150 (1977). Upon review of the submitted information, we find some of it is subject to section 552.130 of the Government Code, which is a mandatory exception and can provide a compelling reason for non-disclosure for purposes of section 552.302. (3)

Section 552.130 of the Government Code excepts from disclosure information related to a motor vehicle title or registration issued by an agency of this state or another state or country. Gov't Code § 552.130(a)(2). Accordingly, the department must withhold the information we have indicated under section 552.130 of the Government Code. As the department raises no further exceptions, the remaining information must be released.

This letter ruling is limited to the particular information at issue in this request and limited to the facts as presented to us; therefore, this ruling must not be relied upon as a previous determination regarding any other information or any other circumstances.

This ruling triggers important deadlines regarding the rights and responsibilities of the governmental body and of the requestor. For more information concerning those rights and responsibilities, please visit our website at http://www.oag.state.tx.us/open/index_orl.php, or call the Office of the Attorney General's Open Government Hotline, toll free, at (877) 673-6839. Questions concerning the allowable charges for providing public information under the Act must be directed to the Cost Rules Administrator of the Office of the Attorney General, toll free at (888) 672-6787.

Sincerely,

Neal Falgoust

Assistant Attorney General

Jasper, TX Officials Say Convict Activist “Bishop Guillory” Posed as a Department of Justice Agent in Election

Yesterday I was contacted by Bishop Guillory. He threatened that, unless I took this article down, he would sue me and call my job to try to get me fired and he said he would go to all the news stations and say I am a racist. He said he is a Republican and a good guy and that we all have it wrong about him.

I checked and double checked my article and there is nothing in my article that is factually incorrect. In fact, most of what I have in my article has already been reported in some form or fashion on other news sites. A lawsuit against me will not go anywhere because he is a public figure and therefore the law allows me to write about him as long as I do not knowingly lie about him and do it with malice. I certainly have not lied about him and if there is anything factually incorrect about anything I ever write I will always correct the article. The idea that he would try to say I am a racist is laughable. I have written numerous articles praising Black Conservatives like Commissioner Greg Parker, State Rep James White and Apostle Claver. In fact, I LOVE black conservatives getting involved and getting elected because in reality, the Republican Party is the party that holds the values of minority groups. You see, I never judge by the color of skin. I always judge people by their character and what they believe.

I want to be fair though. If you read my article you will see that I said that I think this guy has some good traits about him but his bad traits are holding back his good traits. He is pro life which is awesome and he has gone after corrupt Democrats officials. The problem is that he is inconsistent and that worries me like for instance he says he is Republican but wears a shirt with Obama on it. It is also completely wrong for him to have a badge that makes people think he is an official with the DOJ.

So this is what I will do.

Bishop Guillory, I would like you to send me your side of things. I will post your entire, uncut response. I really do want to believe that you are a good guy that is just misunderstood. Please explain to us your side of things so that we can understand.

previous story:

On November 8th, 2011, Jasper, TX held a recall election to oust 3 council members who the residents believe acted inappropriately.
The Justice Department announced that they would be sending agents to Jasper to monitor the election.

One man who showed up during the election week was a man named L.J. Guillory “Bishop Guillory.”

Guillory was wearing a badge around his neck with the United States Seal. His business card had the United Stated Seal. His military style shirt had 4 Military stars on it. He claimed to be the General Ombudsman for Ombudsman International, a Government Oversight Agency.

The City Attorney, Michael Ratcliff, has expressed that Guillory seemed to represent himself as a DOJ official.

The County Sheriff Mitchell Newman has also stated that Guillory approached him and told him that he was appointed to a committee.

Pictures of “Bishop” Guillory in Jasper, TX:

One local businesswoman that I talked to during the election believed that Guillory was an actual DOJ official. She stated that Guillory claimed to be monitoring the election on behalf of the taxpayer, and that after his investigation he would report to the Department of Justice any negative findings. He even told her that it would be illegal for a new city council to fire the Police Chief. That information of course is factually incorrect but this voter initially believed him because she believed him to be a DOJ official.

Over half a dozen other Jasper residents have signed affidavits claiming that Guillory represented himself as a DOJ official and that they felt intimidated as to why they were being singled out by the Justice Department (Bishop Guillory) in his questioning of them.
Pictures of Guillory’s “Ombudsman” Seal Compared to the United States Seal:

A simple internet search revealed that Guillory has been to different parts of the nation advocating for issues and making people believe that he is part of the DOJ. In Tyler, TX Guillory was the advocate for a black student who stabbed his white teacher to death. The Judge threw him out of the Courtroom and banned him from the property. The Tyler Paper wrote an article about the situation. Even the local media believed Guillory was a DOJ agent because the first sentence of this article starts with “An ombudsman for the U.S. Department of Justice heard testimony Tuesday...”

Something just did not add up with this guy though. Guillory’s business card had the US Seal on it but it also had a masionic symbol on it. This caused Vickie to get suspicious and she contacted me.

“Bishop” L.J. Guillory is Actually a Convicted Felon from California and not a DOJ Official

A background check reveals that Guillory spent 7 years and 7 months of a 15 year sentence in prison in California. His past criminal history includes charges of kidnapping, burglary, robbery, and even trying to prevent/dissuade a witness to testify.

Guillory is NOT an official with the Department of Justice or any other government agency, even though he incorporates the US Seal and mentions the DOJ in everything he does. His organization, Ombudsman International Inc., is a not for profit organization.

Guillory claims to be an ArchBishop. He is ordained by First United Unitarian Universalist Church, but to become ordained by this church only requires a person to send in an application.

On Guillory’s blog, you will find a video of Guillory showing off “his” mansion in California. At 1 minute 46 seconds into this video on Guillory’s blog, Guillory is seen hugging a black panther statue and he says that you have to always have a black panther. In this same video, Guillory has a shirt on with a picture of President Obama. Furthermore, his background check does not show this luxurious property seen in this video as being owned by Guillory.

Also on Guillory’s blog is this picture of Guillory, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton

According to the Texas Secretary of State, Guillory registered Ombudsman International Inc. on June 24th 2011 as a not for profit corporation in the State of Texas. This organization is composed of only L.J. Guillory (Director) and Janet J Guillory (Director Secretary Treasurer and her address is a post Office Box: 8306 Wilshire Blvd, 1752 Beverly Hills, CA 90211 USA). The office address for this organization in Texas is listed as 808 Greer Street in Center, TX. According to the Shelby County Appraisal District, this property in Center is 5.5 acres, has $70,000 worth of improvements and is owned by Ombudsman International Inc. The address listed for the organization’s director (Guillory) is 111 North Oak Street in Henderson, TX.

On the filing papers that Guillory submitted to the State of Texas, he states that Ombudsman International is a Government Oversight Agency and that it does not have members but has over 1.7 million supporters.

Ombudsman International Inc. was started by Guillory in California. According to the California Secretary of State, Ombudsman International Inc. was formed as a California Not for Profit by Guillory on 7/9/2003. The address for the business is a post Office Box: 8306 Wilshire Blvd, 1752 Beverly Hills, CA 90211 USA. The address for the registered agent (Guillory) is 1425 W MANCHESTER AVE., SUITE C, Los Angeles, CA 90047. According to the California SOS, this Los Angeles address for Guillory is also the location of a different owner and business, a black bookstore called Milligan Books.

Guillory Ran for Congress as a Republican and Wrote a Book about Corrupt Black Politicians
He claims to be a Republican who is 100 percent pro-life. He ran as a Republican for United States Congress in California and got 1.1% of the vote. He says Democrats are holding back black people. Here is a quote from Guillory made to LBReport, “I’m not a Republican in the mold of [Supreme Court Justice] Clarence Thomas,” Bishop Guillory told LBReport.com. “I’m a Republican in the tradition of [slavery abolitionist] Frederick Douglas, letting voters liberate themselves from Democrat politicians who’ve taken our votes for granted.”

He even recently endorsed white, Republican, Rusk County Attorney Michael Jimerson in the 2012 Republican Primary Election.

Guillory wrote a book about black, corrupt politicians in California titled “I KNOW WHY THE CAGED LION ROARS: What Happens When Black Corrupt Politicians Serve Themselves.”

Conclusion:

Giollory is a very confusing person to me. On one hand he wears a shirt with Obama on is, he defends killers, and he is a convict who has pictures with black panthers, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. On the other hand he says he is a Republican, pro life and he wrote a book about corrupt black politicians.
He seems to have some good traits, but as of now, his bad traits outweigh any good ones.

He is deceptive in making people think he is part of the DOJ by using the US Seal and wearing a badge. He admits to running a million dollar not for profit organization, but I have not seen anything to show what he has done with the millions of dollars. He seems to be biased in his “investigations”. For instance, in Jasper, Guillory only interviewed one side of the issue.

Did Guillory really change his life around or is he just a con man trying to sell his book? He certainly is doing things the wrong way right now though, and his actions in Jasper, TX and other cities are very suspicious to say the least.

Mr. Guillory, I really do hope this article will show you the way people see you and how you are acting inappropriately. I also want this article to warn others about you so that they know that you are not a real official. I think there might be some good in you and I hope you can change your ways.
