By James Smith

1 Sept 2012

The White House Briefing Room released another Executive Order, this time to “help” veterans who may be suffering from mental health issues. And in doing so, adds to the government payroll future union members and drains on the American economy.

For Immediate Release                                                                      August 31, 2012

EXECUTIVE ORDER

IMPROVING ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR VETERANS, SERVICE MEMBERS, AND MILITARY FAMILIES

There have many stories on how veterans have been “helped” by the VA and other hospitals. It’s the kind of help no one wants.

Mr. Obama wants to see by the end of this year, a full 50% increase in Veteran Crisis Line employees. And the funny thing about governments, they want to see a return on investment. Even if they are running at a loss.

Further, veterans can let someone know they are having problems by using insecure means of communication such as phone texts and online chats.

Sec. 2.  Suicide Prevention.  (a)  By December 31, 2012, the Department of Veterans Affairs, in continued collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services, shall expand the capacity of the Veterans Crisis Line by 50 percent to ensure that veterans have timely access, including by telephone, text, or online chat, to qualified, caring responders who can help address immediate crises and direct veterans to appropriate care.  Further, the Department of Veterans Affairs shall ensure that any veteran identifying him or herself as being in crisis connects with a mental health professional or trained mental health worker within 24 hours.  The Department of Veterans Affairs also shall expand the number of mental health professionals who are available to see veterans beyond traditional business hours.

The government will also being hiring 2,400 counselors and mental health professionals, many who would start at about $80k a year, and would pay off the new employees student loans to make this all happen. Student loans for such professionals would range between $150,000 to $200,00.

Sec. 4.  Expanded Department of Veterans Affairs Mental Health Services Staffing.  The Secretary of Veterans Affairs shall, by December 31, 2013, hire and train 800 peer to peer counselors to empower veterans to support other veterans and help meet mental health care needs.  In addition, the Secretary shall continue to use all appropriate tools, including collaborative arrangements with community based providers, pay setting authorities, loan repayment and scholarships, and partnerships with health care workforce training programs to accomplish the Department of Veterans Affairs’ goal of recruiting, hiring, and placing 1,600 mental health professionals by June 30, 2013.

But the real issue at hand here is one that is generated by the VA themselves, and not through the “moral weakness” of the veteran.

Suicide is a very serious issue. There are very few people who have not been affected by a suicide by a family member, friend, or acquaintance. But many suicides by veterans are preventable.

A 2004 study (Carr, Hoge, Gardner, & Potter, 2004) it was found by reviewing non official records, that 17% more military suicides, 4% more military deaths that were suspicious for suicide, than what was reported in the official records.  Deaths hidden to hide a serious problem.

And the media does not help the matter as well. A 2011 study (Edwards-Stewart, Kinn, June, & Fullerton, 2011) found that the media violated established guidelines in nearly all of the 240 reviewed stories from 15 different sources. Stories of suicides by US Service Members included “more pejorative language and discussion of failed psychological treatment. Conversely, civilian articles romanticized the victim and provided more details regarding the suicide.”

A 2012 Study  (Hyman, Ireland, Frost, & Cottrell, 2012) showed that: “Additional research needs to address the increasing rates of suicide in active duty personnel. This should include careful evaluation of suicide prevention programs and the possible increase in risk associated with SSRIs and other mental health drugs, as well as the possible impact of shorter deployments, age, mental health diagnoses, and relationship problems.” Emphasis added.

Feeding the veteran’s mental health problem, is the VA themselves. It has been reported since before 2006 those antidepressants, the “Go To” drug for suicide prevention, has caused people to commit suicide. The Food and Drug Administration noted in September 2004 that such drugs may increase suicidal thoughts or behaviors in children and teenagers. The human brain does not stop developing until middle age. Well within the age ranges to be affected by antidepressants provided after being discharged by the military and provided help by the VA.

The drugs on the list that have been shown to increase suicidal tendencies include:

Celexa (citalopram)	Effexor (venlafaxine)	Lexapro (escitalopram)
Luvox (fluvoxamine)	Paxil (paroxetine)	Prozac (fluoxetine)
Remeron (mirtazapine)	Serzone (nefazodone)	Wellbutrin, Zyban (bupropion)
Zoloft (sertraline)

Of these, only Lexapro, Luvox, and Serzone are not in the current VA drug formulary. Bupropion is the first line smoking cessation medication used by VA and civilian doctors as well.

Celexa has a dirty and questionable past. It was revealed in 2011 Forest Pharmaceuticals paid the principal investigator of a federally funded antidepressant drug study to fix the results in favor of Celexa.

But the most amazing part of all this, is the VA insistence that antidepressants are safe. From the study (Gibbons, Brown, Hur, Marcus, Bhaumik, & Mann, 2007):

CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that SSRI treatment has a protective effect in all adult age groups. They do not support the hypothesis that SSRI treatment places patients at greater risk of suicide.

The President wants to help veterans. The best way he can is to cancel this order, and demand that Veterans are provided more cognitive therapy and less medication. And leave office. That would do the most good.

Health - Nature's extract beats cough and other cold symptoms

September 1, 2012 Nature's extract beats cough and other cold symptoms Last week, I felt a cold coming on in the middle of the day. It’s a miserable feeling, as you feel like you’re powerless to stop the coming misery. But you’re not, there’s a simple trick you can use that can stop the cold in its tracks. As soon as I felt the symptoms coming on, I went to the cupboard and pulled out the raw apple cider vinegar and raw local honey. I took one teaspoon of the honey, mixed it with a tablespoon of the vinegar, and then added a little bit (about 3-4 oz.) of warm water to dissolve the honey and dilute the taste of the vinegar. Then I drank it up and repeated it a few hours later. Cornell University Scientist Unlocks the Hidden Health Benefits of the Humble Apple Peel This nutritional breakthrough is 200% more effective than resveratrol... 5 times more powerful than green tea catechins... and can boost antioxidant levels by 400%. Find Out More The next day when I woke up, I expected to have a runny nose and cough. I didn’t have either. The symptoms I felt coming on were completely gone. Does it work every time? No, but it almost always shortens the duration of the cold. And, more importantly, it helps keep my coughing to a minimum. And now a new study shows why. In this study, researchers gave honey or a placebo to 300 children with upper respiratory tract infections. Those taking the honey took one of three products - either eucalyptus honey, citrus honey, or labiatae honey. They took their assigned treatment 30 minutes before bed. The researchers gave the parents a survey to complete the night of the treatment and again the day after treatment. The survey asked about sleep quality, as well as cough frequency and severity. The researchers found that all of the groups, even the placebo group, experienced significant improvements. However, the nutrients in the honey helped all of the honey groups experience the largest improvements. The honey was particularly helpful with sleep quality and cough frequency. There are a lot of studies on honey’s ability to fight infection, both topically and internally. Nature’s extract is one of the best cold fighters around, especially if you take it as soon as symptoms appear. The best honey is Manuka honey, but this study showed that just about any honey will work. Buckwheat honey has shown significant strength in fighting coughs from the common cold. Whichever honey you choose, make sure you have some around when the cold symptoms hit. It could save you a lot of misery.

Health - Watch Out For This At Your Dr's Office

Watch Out For This At Your Dr's Office
When I read the letter below, my jaw dropped and I was speechless. I don't think I've ever seen such a flagrant example of how modern medicine can fail someone so miserably and cause such unimaginable suffering like this poor woman has endured. You've GOT to read Lois' letter...and more importantly, if your health is even a fraction as bad as hers, be sure to read my response to her. Here you go: ******************* Sherry: I've been reading other folks' stories of how your product helps with constipation etc. I wonder if it would help me? I have diarrhea or IBS or whatever the specialists want to call it. I need to take thyroid meds but can't because they cause more diarrhea. I've had 2 endoscopies in the past 14 months which show gastritis and irritation in my small intestine. Not sleeping at night has been really bad. I can't lay down for more than 2-3 hrs without severe nausea. I went through 7 days of xifaxan---expensive! I did feel better, but soon enough my symptoms came back. I can't stand it any longer, PERIOD. Now they are treating me for environmental allergies. I also have had bad heart palpitations. I also found out last November that I have an enlarged aorta, but it's supposedly "nothing to worry about!" I've had gastro problems off and on all my life. I had my gallbladder out in 1988. Then in 1999 I had a hysterectomy because they thought that might help my digestion! In 2005 I changed doctors and had a flu shot--that's when my digestive problems really took off. I got pancreatitis and then just right out of the blue diarrhea. The diarrhea continued to get worse with each new bout starting about every 3-4 months and then became more and more frequent until it was nearly uncontrollable. Will your program help me? I'm 59 years old and after all these medical procedures I'm financially bankrupt--to say nothing of what this is doing to my health! Lois ******************* SB: Lois, thank God you wrote to me. Yes, most certainly Great Taste No Pain can help you, in addition to other measures. But first, for your benefit and that of my readers, I must make a few very significant comments about your state of health and what has and hasn't been done for you. Point #1-Lifelong gastro problems Lois has had gastro problems ALL HER LIFE and apparently no one has suggested a change in her diet. But her medical professionals have been more than happy to repeat test after test and give her drug after drug, driving her to bankruptcy. How the mainstream medical community can ignore diet as the primary cause of digestive problems continues to totally baffle me. It's like saying that the sugar in your gas tank has nothing to do with your car stalling and instead changing your oil and hoping it helps! And here's the real boner--giving her a hysterectomy and hoping that helps her gastro problems? Why didn't they remove one of her kidneys for an ingrown toenail while they were at it, because that's about as pertinent. Lois, let me enlighten you: The foods you eat have the single most profound effect on your digestion, your GI tract and arguably your entire health from head to toe. If you're eating meals that are hard for your body to digest and create too many acid wastes, your GI tract doesn't stand a chance -- you are practically guaranteed to have problems. The symptoms can vary from person to person--some people get acid reflux, others constipation and still others, IBS like yourself. But it WILL have an effect--that is a certainty. Point #2-The gut is just the beginning The effects of poor digestion don't just stop at gut problems. You see, poor digestion causes acid waste build-up in your intestinal tract. From there, toxins and poorly digested food molecules can get absorbed into your bloodstream and go everywhere in your body. This makes your pH too acidic, leads to inflammation and food sensitivities and makes you the perfect home for sickness and disease from head to toe. So it doesn't surprise me that Lois has also had problems with her gallbladder, thyroid, aorta and heart (palpitations). ALL of our glands and organs are stressed in an environment that is too toxic and acidic and they begin to break down. Get this--the only time our bodies are SUPPOSED to be acidic is upon death, so we can decompose as Nature intended. That should clue you in.   Point #3-The wrath of the flu shot Lois is one of countless people that have suffered the health consequences of a flu shot. First of all, despite what the drug manufacturers claim, there are simply NO studies that PROVE flu vaccines significantly decrease numbers of flu cases or mortality (deaths). Simply put, there's no proof they work! None. Now here's the low down on what flu shots REALLY do: ALL vaccines suppress your immune system for possibly weeks or months, which makes you MORE susceptible to not only the flu but every other virus or infection around. How's that for a kicker? They contain neurotoxins like mercury preservatives (aka thimerosal) which have been linked to autism, as well as aluminum (which has been linked to Alzheimer's)--both of which also compromise your immune system function. They can also affect your body's immune system's regulatory T-cells (your natural anti-inflammatories), which can lead to chronic illness or disease. Vaccines can also trigger allergies by introducing large protein molecules into your body that haven't been properly broken down by your digestive tract (since they are injected). Your body can respond to these particles in the form of an allergic reaction, just like it can with food molecules, pollen, cat dander and other proteins that aren't properly broken down. So, Lois...I'm not entirely shocked that you developed pancreatitis after a flu shot and are now being treated for allergies. Forget the flu shot.  You don't need it.   Point #4--On the verge of bankruptcy and STILL no better! Here's the saddest part of all--Lois is financially destitute and is STILL feeling no better. But now this story is about to take a sharp turn. Because Lois, you can help make a HUGE difference in how you feel. But you have to listen to your body. It's giving you signs from head to toe...screaming actually. And my other readers: If you're reading this and have your own variety of sicknesses, you listen up too. In order for all of your systems to function properly, you MUST have efficient digestion, minimize acid wastes in your body and have balanced intestinal flora (for a strong immune system). And that, my friends, is a simple two-step process that you can easily do. Step 1: Make your meals easy to digest This is as easy as 1-2-3 with the Great Taste No Pain Health System or if you're gluten sensitive, Great Taste No Gluten. Both Great Taste No Pain and Great Taste No Gluten show you the easy steps on how to create luscious meals using nutritious real foods (nothing weird) that are a snap for your body to digest. When your foods are broken down like they should be, this encourages better nutrient absorption, fewer acid wastes and easy, regular bowel movements. Ahhhh...believe me, it makes a difference in how you feel from head to toe. And get this--both Great Taste No Pain and Great Taste No Gluten are available for a one-time amount that's FAAAAR less than any doctor visit or prescription drug!   Step 2: Balance your intestinal flora For anyone like Lois who has had digestive problems for a long time, taken antibiotics or had a flu shot, chances are excellent that the beneficial bacteria in your gut have taken a hit and may be outnumbered by harmful bacteria. That means a weakened immune system, a leaky gut wall and even worse impaired digestion! But you can easily replenish your supply of friendly flora by eating the nutritious foods they love (in Step 1 above) as well as supplementing with a medical-grade probiotic formula like Super Shield. Super Shield contains 13 strains of potent, top-grade probiotic bacteria. These little powerhouses go to work immediately in your gut, beefing up your population of beneficial, disease-fighting bacteria, strengthening your gut wall, enhancing digestion and crowding out harmful pathogens.   The bottom line Lois, for you and everyone else who has health challenges that the allopathic cycle of tests-drugs-surgery has not been able to help, it's time to try a different approach. A safe, natural, holistic approach by giving your body what it needs to do what it's supposed to do. Remember, our bodies' natural state is health -- NOT disease! And it will create super health if you give it the right environment. Give it the right environment. It will thank you handsomely many times over. To your health, Sherry Brescia PS:  Linda sure sees the difference! Sherry, It has been one full week since I received your Great Taste No Pain plan and I FEEL GREAT! I have been very faithful with each day's intake of the foods, PROPERLY combining all my meals. What a difference. You are absolutely correct - I was PAIN FREE in 1 DAY! I suffer from diverticulitis and of course that brings about the ole hemorrhoids. What a mess I was the day I received your plan. I am 68 years old and was in the middle of a severe attack. I was diagnosed 2 years ago during a routine colonoscopy. Of course, the doctors had no real instructions or information as to what to eat or HOW. I now know I have had the disease for several years because I am able to recognize the signs. My doctors did not hand me any information other than a brief outline of the disease but no in depth information or how to REALLY live with it and PREVENT more attacks from occurring. I want you to know your plan, for me, was a LIFE SAVER! I have been PAIN FREE since DAY ONE. I had been taking Ranitidine (Generic for Zantac) 150 mg twice a day and on some days I still had to take TUMS for my "HEARTBURN." The very first day on your plan I noticed my heartburn was okay. BUT by DAY 2 I knew I was on the right track...NO HEARTBURN OF ANY KIND. I thought, well let's just see how good this is, I'm not going to take any heartburn medicine until I have to.... I'm still waiting. I have not taken any heartburn medicine since DAY 1 of your plan. My husband can't believe it. I walked the floor many nights with heartburn because I could not take any more antacids or the ranitidine for another few hours or so and I was unable to lie down. NOT NOW. Oh, by the way, I am sleeping through the night. I feel so much better when I get up and not have to look at a bloated stomach. UNBELIEVABLE! And there's more. I have Iost 5 pounds this last week and have had NO BLOATING or gas. I literally looked like I was about 6 months pregnant (my husband's words) a week ago. NOT today! My hemorrhoids are completely under control and I have some real energy to get through the day. How does one thank you enough for your information and such easy to work with instructions? The recipes were easy to put together. I THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY LIFE! Without this plan I really think I was hours away from being hospitalized. There is ABSOLUTELY NO EXAGGERATION in any of my statements to you. God Bless you for the role you are playing in so many people's lives. YOU ARE A BLESSING! Linda ****************** Got low energy? Brain fog? CRS disease? You just may be low in in just one vitamin. One out of four people are.

Folks, interesting, if true. Isabelle http://removingtheshackles.blogspot.ca/ I have just received word that Eric Holder has resigned this morning.

I have a feeling that we will have confirmation on this rather quickly. (hint: Holder isn't just in trouble with the Fast & Furious.... a certain Court in the Netherlands has already generated a special piece of paper, to be served shortly) http://m.jacksonville.com/news/national/2012-09-20/story/fast-and-furious-report-out-resignations-follow http://www.newsday.com/news/nation/atf-director-resigns-over-new-fast-and-furious-report-1.4019497 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2205737/Fast-Furious-report-Eric-Holder-escapes-blame.html?openGraphAuthor=%2Fhome%2Fsearch.html%3Fs%3D%26authornamef%3DAssociated%2BPress

Obama Defies Congress 
                          By David J. Smith  September 1, 2012

                       
                              Ignoring the will of Congress and the American people, Obama announced his unilateral decision to  grant amnesty  for nearly a million illegal aliens. 
 
    In other words, Obama looked Congress and the American people in the eye and essentially said,   
 
  “  I don’t care what the American people want. Since Congress won’t do as I say and grant blanket Amnesty to illegals … since a bipartisan majority has repeatedly rejected the DREAM Act, in dictatorial fashion, I am just going to bypass Congress completely and impose it myself via executive fiat.”   
 
  “  If Congress refuses to act, I’ve said that I’ll continue to do everything in my power to act without them …”   
    -     President Obama 
 
    Senator Jeff Session’s (R-AL), the Senate’s chief  opponent  to the DREAM Act, summed up Obama’s latest Amnesty decrees this way:   
 
  “  With its announcement, the Obama administration has openly declared to the American people that it is determined to  contravene the immigration laws  of the United States, circumventing the will of the people and authority of its representatives in Congress. In FACT, this policy is far broader than the version of the DREAM Act rejected by Congress on a bipartisan basis and contains almost no enforceable limits and requirements.”   
 
    In a statement released by Sessions, he added:  “Presidents do not have the luxury of choosing which laws to enforce and which to discard.”   
 
    Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, called Obama’s Amnesty decree’s a  “LAWLESS ACT.”   
 
    Congressman Steve King (R-IA), vice chairman of the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement, issued this call to arms:   
 
  “  Americans should be    outraged    that President Obama is planning to usurp the Constitutional authority of the United States Congress and grant amnesty by edict to 1 million illegal aliens.”   
 
    Obama Knows His Amnesty Decree Is Illegal   
 
    The fact is, President Obama  knows  his decision to impose Amnesty via executive order is in  direct defiance of the Constitution and Rule of Law.  In March at a Univision town hall meeting, Obama said:   
 
  “  With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order,  that’s just NOT the case, because there are laws on the books that Congress has passed  … we’ve got three branches of government. Congress passes the law. The executive branch’s job is to enforce and implement those laws. And then the judiciary has to interpret the laws.   
 
  “  There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system that for me to simply through executive order ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as President.”   
 
    But now Obama has the audacity to  ignore  our Constitutional system of separation of powers and the very clear congressional demands regarding enforcement of our nation’s immigration laws – strictly for political gain. Congress simply cannot allow itself to be usurped by a president that puts politics over country and bias over the rule of law. We are, after all, a Republic, with three EQUAL branches charged with sharing the responsibility of governing, not a MONARCHY where a single leader is able to  defy  the  will of the people.   
 
    The  Halt Act , H.R. 2497, sponsored by Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-TX) in the House and Senator David Vitter (R-LA) in the Senate, is short for  “Hinder the Administration’s Legalization Temptation Act.”  Put simply, it would stop cold the Obama Administration’s use of “prosecutorial discretion” to grant Amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.   
 
 
    The shoe is on the other foot and the Mexicans from the State of Sonora, Mexico do not like it. Can you believe the nerve of these people? It’s almost funny. The State of Sonora is angry at the influx of Mexicans into Mexico !
   
   
Nine state legislators from the Mexican State of Sonora traveled to Tucson to complain about Arizona ‘s new employer crackdown on illegal aliens from Mexico . It seems that many Mexican illegal aliens are returning to their hometowns and the officials in the Sonora state government are ticked off. A delegation of nine state legislators from Sonora ware in Tucson on Tuesday to state that Arizona ‘s new ‘Employer Sanctions Law’ will have a devastating effect on the Mexican state. At a news conference, the legislators said that Sonora, – Arizona’s southern neighbor – made up of mostly small towns – can not handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools that it will face as Mexican workers return to their hometowns from the USA without jobs or money.
   
   
The Arizona law, which took effect Jan. 1, punishes Arizona employers who knowingly hire individuals without valid legal documents to work in the United States . Penalties include suspension of, or loss of, their business license. The Mexican legislators are angry because their own citizens are returning to their hometowns, placing a burden on THEIR state government.
     
   
‘How can Arizona pass a law like this?’ asked Mexican Rep Leticia Amparano-Gamez, who represents Nogales . ‘There is not one person living in Sonora who does not have a friend or relative working in Arizona ,’ she said, speaking in Spanish. ‘Mexico is not prepared for this, for the tremendous problems it will face as more and more Mexicans working in Arizona and who were sending money to their families return to their hometowns in Sonora without jobs,’ she said ‘We are one family, socially and economically,’ she said of the people of Sonora and Arizona .
     
   
Wrong! The United States is a sovereign nation, not a subsidiary of Mexico , and its taxpayers are not responsible for the welfare of Mexico ‘s citizens. It’s time for the Mexican government, and its citizens, to stop feeding parasitically off the United States and to start taking care of its/their own needs. Every state should pass the same law that Arizona passed, and the law should apply to  all  nationalities.
   
   
1. There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools.   
   
2. All ballots will be in this nation’s language.

Feds Decide Fate of 'Toughest Sheriff'

Ariz. Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been under criminal investigation for 3 years for allegedly targeting officials at odds with him.

Joe Arpaio Investigation Closed; No Federal Charges Will Be Filed Against Him

Federal authorities said Friday that they're

closing their abuse-of-power investigation into

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Arizona

without filing charges against him.

PHOENIX — Federal authorities said Friday that they're closing their abuse-of-power investigation into Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Arizona without filing charges against him.
Authorities were investigating America's self-proclaimed toughest sheriff for his part in failed public corruption cases against officials who were odds with him. Arpaio brought cases against a judge and two county officials in 2009.
Federal authorities also decided to not prosecute matters tied to alleged misuse of county credit cards by sheriff's officials, alleged misspending of jail-enhancement funds and other matters.
"They did their investigation, they didn't find enough probable cause and they didn't bring an indictment," Arpaio said at a hastily called news conference after returning from the Republican National Convention in Florida. "We don't go around framing anybody. My people are not crooks."
Assistant U.S. Attorney Ann Birmingham Scheel released a statement saying her office "is closing its investigation into allegations of criminal conduct" by current and former members of the sheriff's and county attorney's offices.
Scheel, who is based in Arizona, said she was acting on behalf of the U.S. Department of Justice. In a four-page letter to Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery explaining the decision, Scheel wrote that "our limited role is to determine whether criminal charges are supportable. After careful review, we do not believe the allegations presented to us are prosecutable as crimes."
"I've been in law enforcement for 50 years. Nothing surprises me. But I know my people did the right thing," said the 80-year-old Arpaio, who is running for a sixth term as sheriff in Arizona's most populous county. "I'm just happy for my organization, for my deputies. Not for me."
The federal probe focused specifically on the sheriff's anti-public-corruption squad. In a separate probe, the U.S. Justice Department has accused Arpaio's office of a wide range of civil rights violations, and in another case, a federal judge has yet to rule in a civil case brought by a group of Latino plaintiffs that claimed Arpaio and his deputies engaged in racial profiling.
The timing of the federal authorities' announcement – at 5 p.m. on a Friday before a holiday weekend – was questioned by some Arpaio critics.
"It is a miscarriage of justice that the federal government is dropping its case against Sheriff Arpaio and to make such an announcement on the Friday night before the Democratic National Convention can only be politically motivated to shield the administration from criticism," Pablo Alvarado, director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, said in a statement.
Arpaio and his top ally, former County Attorney Andrew Thomas, were embroiled in a three-year feud with county officials and judges and defended their investigations as necessary to root out corruption.
The officials who were targets of the investigations contend the probes were trumped up as retaliation for political and legal disagreements with the sheriff and prosecutor.
Criminal cases against former Superior Court Judge Gary Donahoe and county supervisors Mary Rose Wilcox and Don Stapley were dismissed after a judge ruled that Thomas prosecuted one of the three officials for political gain and had a conflict of interest in pressing the case.
Authorities say the charges against Donahoe were filed in a bid to prevent the judge from holding a hearing regarding Arpaio and Thomas' claim that judges and county officials conspired to hinder a probe into the construction of a court building.
Donahoe had disqualified Thomas from handling the court building investigation and was poised to hold another hearing over a request to appoint special prosecutors to handle the probe. The hearing was called off after the charges were filed against the judge.
The judge also had been critical of the ability of Arpaio's office to bring inmates to court on time for hearings.
Thomas was disbarred in early April by an ethics panel of the Arizona courts that found he brought unsuccessful criminal cases against the judge and two county officials for the purpose of embarrassing them.
In the separate probe, which is still ongoing, the Justice Department says Arpaio's office racially profiles Latinos, retaliates against critics of its immigration patrols and bases its immigration patrols on racially charged citizen complaints that did not allege crimes. The sheriff denies the allegations.
And in the civil case, the Latino plaintiffs aren't seeking monetary damages. Instead, they want a declaration that Arpaio's office uses racial profiling and an order requiring policy changes. If Arpaio loses the case, he won't face jail time or fines.
