Blehar’s Editorial

I would be more curious on what Ron Cook reaction was or response was. I also wonder if he only singled out Cook.

Thanks Ray.

Over the years, I have found that when you speak with these 'journalists" and others IN PERSON about asking those relevant questions you laid out above - they sheepishly nod and agree that they are all valid points.

Many have promised me IN PERSON they would "do more" in discussing the failures at Second Mile and CYS and shining a light on all that.

They haven't.

Many have also wondered out loud to me IN PERSON why Dr. Jack Raykovitz has skated and promised to "dig into it" or "look at that".

They haven't.

Many have agreed with me IN PERSON that Tom Corbett's Office of Attorney General whiffed on Second Mile and was silent on the mess the AG's Office created at Penn State and would write about it exposing those actions.

They haven't.

So I have to believe that these "journalists" and others that say one thing to me IN PERSON are then hiding behind their keyboards to irresponsibly hoist a banner of outrage about "the victims" and waving that in efforts for web hits, clicks and mad dollahs.

Which in a twisted way, is re-victimizing? It certainly doesn't explore the issues and just adding to the problem that continues to fester in our state.

It's not starting a discussion of education, prevention and holding those in the child welfare and advocacy profession in our state accountable.

I have spoken to our State AG, our Solicitor General, the Chair of PCCD, some Federal Prosecutors and many other state decision makers about the very issues you laid out above - they too agree that they are valid points and questions that need to be answered. Hell - Louis Freeh even agreed with me that I "raise a good question".

So if the media across our state won't go there, and these state decision makers won't go there - then what the hell is going on? I am truly baffled. It's like shouting into the void.

Hi Wendy, it's nice to see your post here in this blog. I know you don't frequently post here because you are busy on other larger fronts pursuing the truth. So thank you for giving some of the smaller players in this fight a chance to respond to your comment. Also, thank you for your original courage to question Louis Freeh's omission of Second Mile culpability from his "report".

I agree with you that there is an obvious duplicity here when officials are contacted and agree with you about the illegal and unethical nature of what's going on. And as you ask Ray here, what the hell is going on? I'd like a chance to surmise and answer your question.

If you can review some of my earlier posts on Ray's last 4 or 5 blog topics, you may get some background on why I believe what I'm going to say here: Sara Ganim, Brad Bumsted, John Micek, and Sally Jenkins are not making innocent mistakes. Their omissions and hearsay published as fact are not due to a lack of fact-checking ability or sloppy journalism. These "errors" are intentional. And, they are paid handsomely to make them. As Bernie Sanders has alleged, CNN is a highly corrupt billion dollar entity. I believe they are participating in a failing "secret" coup d' etat against standing leadership in PA and also other states. There is some sort of corrupt privacy loophole that prevents those in power like Kathleen Kane from telling us what is happening, possibly rule 1.6. Also, because factions of our federal government are also involved in attempting this illegal coup, they will cite "keeping order" and "preventing civil unrest" as being more important than telling the American people about this illegal coup attempt. So those in an official capacity that divulge the secret will be locked up. It's a multi-billion dollar coup attempt by those that now completely control our mainstream media. It is failing though, and it's failure will reveal just how badly we've all been misled since 9/11.

Some people's comfort zone will not allow them to think about this or believe it. I realize it's a very painful and frightening thing to deal with. It's the bigger picture however and of course Louis Freeh is deeply involved in the corrupt bigger picture.

Have you read recently that the "28 pages" mostly contain rhetoric written by Louis Freeh? And our "trusted" mainstream media is presenting this 28 pages as something that's going to give us the truth about 9/11? What a laugh! So as most Americans now know, what Louis Freeh presents as truth is exactly the opposite of the truth.

So, look at the bigger picture: Louis Freeh, the first WTC bombing, 9/11, mainstream media-CNN, Sara Ganim, The Second Mile, Penn State, Joe Paterno, Sandusky, Kathleen Kane, Risa Ferman, Bill Cosby, Eric Frein, Frank Noonan, it's all connected!

Ray, I wish your letter would run as an op-ed in many newspapers. (Advertisement? I'll chip in!) And Wendy S., your response has great info that a reporter (note, I don't call them journalists) should be diving into. They are simply scared of the public backlash. Sounds like our BoTs.

As always Ray, you are a true Champion. You're tireless and relentless. Thank you for your objectivity and keeping the rest of us informed.

He makes good points about the system failures but doesn't ever speculate that the main reason for the failures were (1.) fear of being Gricar'd (2.) fear of being publicly humiliated for going after PSU football and (3.) being members of the Cult themselves and sweeping things under the rug in the interest of preserving the cash cow's immaculate image and leader's legacy.

Don't believe me? Any reasonable person only needs to ask themselves two questions to smell the stench:
* Why was the Grand Jury presentment held until AFTER win number 409?
* Why did Spanier have Big Jerry in his box for win 409 nine months AFTER everybody testified to the Grand Jury?

The fix was in all the way to the top of the state AG office and despite knowing that Sandusky was a monster the top admins at PSU kept him close with unfettered access to FB facilities.
Sick! Sick! Sick!
They thought they were above the law and didn't care about right & wrong or those poor boys!
 
I like what somebody else posited recently:
If it is possible that Sandusky was such a magnificent manipulative predator capable of fooling everyone around him for 50 years; why is it not also possible that Paterno was an evil, vile, disgustingly flawed human being who also had everyone tricked into thinking he was a great guy?

The Cult wants me to believe the JS part.
I choose to believe both options.

Heck, there are guys with two families with wives that never figured it out. Sue and the kids should defend JoeP, but they may not know JoeP was awful. Dotty claimed she didn't know.

I had to laugh at the use of the word "objectivity" in this comment. Ironically, these Nitters are the only ones lacking objectivity regarding this matter.
 
The unconditional love these grown men have towards a dead man is really sick. Gives you an idea how people can commit crimes in the name of religion. When you really love something, really believe in something, you will do anything. The religion of Paterno does not condone killing thankfully. Other than that, the mindsets of these Paterno extremists isnt a whole lot different from crazy religious extremists.

Ray Blehar's letter to Ron Cook
Ray has made some great points and is also asking for Transparency along with Spanier, Bagwell, Lubrano, and Paterno's Lawsuits that challenge the PAOAG, Freeh, PSU Trustees, NCAA, and Penn State University that the way they handled the Scandal. I have no problem with those challenges and let the Discovery proceed as is what is happening in all Court Cases.

Yet, none of them address the Penn State Reforms of 2012 that had to correct the Penn State University Paterno Coaching Era under a NCAA Oversight Monitor, and Ron Cook has not address it either.


Now Penn State University was responsible for Institutional Control to make sure Laws, Rules, and Regulations were in Compliance not Paterno, but the Reforms were put in to make sure No Coach of any PSU Sport will be higher than following the Compliances. Maybe one day Ron Cook will write such an Article that reports the following and no Lawsuit has challenge these reform either or asking them to be removed either. This is something no PSU Fans can ignore and few Media have written in response to The Penn State Football Era from 1966 to 2012?

Penn State 2012 Reforms Back To Nittany Lions Reformed Rules Roars, All Accomplish Under NCAA Oversight Monitor:

1. PSU End Contributions & Association To The Second Mile

2. Restoring Institutional Control Over The PSU Football Program

3. Hiring 2 New PSU Presidents Accountable To Obey NCAA Rules

4. Hiring 2 New Athletic Directors Responsible To Follow NCAA Rules

5. Hiring First PSU Director of Ethics & Compliance

6. Hiring First PSU Athletic Integrity Officer

7. Implement & Enforce PSU Clery Act Compliance

8. Implement & Enforce PSU Title IX Compliance

9. Implement Athletic Integrity Agreement Compliance

10. Implement & Enforce First Code Of Athletic Conduct For PSU Football Players

11. End PSU Players Special Treatment Exemption From Student Judicial Affairs

12. Player's Cooperates On Outside Investigations No More Players Exceptions

13. No Coach's Wives Influence Player's Discipline In Student Judicial Affairs

14. Requires All PSU Coaches & Employees To Follow Such Laws & Compliance's

15. PSU Never Again Will Allow Any Coach Be Exempt From University Oversight

These Reforms have been approved, implemented and required over $500+ Million of Fines, Reforms, and Expenses that are still climbing in Settlements, Costs, Fine$ and New Staffers to administer the Reforms and continued Criminal And Civil Legal Costs.
 
A-ha! CNN is behind this latest smear campaign! We should've known this all along.

This quote is right out of the Donald Trump playbook of outrageous accusations:

"I believe they (CNN) are participating in a failing "secret" coup d' etat against standing leadership in PA and also other states."

And to think that there are people who actually believe this stuff....:rolleyes:

Ray Blehar's letter to Ron Cook
Isn't it curious that this Beihar guy calls out the Second Mile for not doing anything when informed by Penn State? Why would Penn State call on the Second Mile to take care of this instead of taking what they knew to the State Attorney General.

Am I missing something or is this just another attempt to blame everyone but Penn State.

Just like an untreated alcoholic blaming his childhood, wife, friends, cops, wife, kids, job, boss, IRS, Obama etc. for his problems.

Driven by a hundred forms of fear, self delusion, self seeking, and self pity we step on the toes of our fellows, and they retaliate, sometimes without provocation. But invariably we find that we have made decisions based on self that put us in a position to be hurt.

Yes, actually you are missing everything here. I'm not getting into a you know what contest here, but there are serious facts you need to know. Sandusky was an employee of The Second Mile, not Penn State. Therefore, they were responsible for him. Furthermore, you don't contact the AG, but go through proper channels of reporting.

Finally, everyone in this state should be appalled at the level of corruption and lack of responsibility by state agencies. From the state police, CYS, AG, and a former governor. You believe what you want about Penn State, I could care less. But the fact remains, Sandusky was allowed to adopt children and be a foster parent to many and no authority stopped him. Not one single person has been held accountable for any of that, and nothing has changed in the state of Pennsylvania except more corruption. And if you think Louis Freeh is honest or any of his work made a difference, I've got swamp land in Florida to sell ya. There is a lot more to come. Those that look honestly know that because they realize every party has fought discovery.
 
Is your employer responsible for you? While any organization for which you volunteer has absolutely zero responsibility for you and what you do on their property.
So let's just say you are a VP at XYZ Corp and a volunteer youth director for a charitable family outreach program. Do you honestly believe that if employees of the outreach program saw you diddling some young clients that they should report you to XYZ Corp and that it becomes XYZ's responsibility to bring you to justice? Would you expect the outreach program to continue giving you access to the young boys? It sounds like you are saying the fact that you werent their employee, the organization has no responsibility for letting you sexually assault young men for another forty years. If XYZ didn't fire you or get you thrown into jail, the charity should assume it is alright for you to continue criminally assaulting on their property and give you a prime parking space, keys to the facilities and unfettered access to kids.
Is that really how you think the world should work?
 
Two , three or even four wrongs do not make anybody's actions right.

$150M in payouts later and PSU still wants us to believe that everyone else was wrong, but not them.
 
Sandusky was not employed by Penn State. He was employed by The Second Mile. He was not a volunteer. He was bringing children to Penn State from the Second Mile while employed by them. This is not an employee off the job doing volunteer work. The Second Mile was responsible for their employees on the job just like any other company.
 
Geeeeset these cultists are extremists. Joe ran the roost up there and was in charge of everything. He is as guilty as everyone else who knew and did nothing( except keep it quiet).

Cult - Protect Paterno at all costs. What a bunch of hypocrites.

I truly believe JP was in charge and therefore as much at fault as JS by allowing it to continue.

Sandusky was employed by Penn State in 1971. Sandusky was employed by
Penn State in 1976. Sandusky was employed by Penn State in 1998, when the
university trotted out their pet psychologist to assert that Sandusky wasn't a
pedophile.

None of us can argue with any of this. That being said, Jerry started out and was an employee at Penn State and PSU football and access to these facilities. You cannot deny that Jerry Sandusky was a guest of Graham Spanier in his President Box at Beaver Stadium the day of JoePa's 409th* victory? A mere week before he was arrested, months after all the Grand Jury testimony and investigation meaning everyone, including Spanier and Joe knew about Sandusky's issues and it was still "business as usual".

Penn State is not a victim in this. Neither is Paterno. Neither is Spanier.
 
I'm not talking about those periods. And as the AG's office just stated, there was nothing but unsubstantiated hearsay. He was charged with the 2001 incident and he was not employed by Penn State.
 
Well now, that's the 64 thousand dollar question regarding the box and I wonder that myself.
 
Got swept under the rug? You know that is such crap it's unreal. Excuse me, were the police not involved? Did the DA bring charges? You can't blame Penn State for this. Good God can you even try to be honest? If the police didn't bring any changes, was Penn State supposed to arrest an innocent man? You want to blame someone, blame the police and the DA who are responsible.
 
Wow......the rehashing of this stuff, and the Nitters constant refusal to acknowledge "FACTS".....you start looking back and realize how obvious there was a completely concerted effort to cover up, and also complete indifference and especially incompetence on the part of all in charge.
 
Sandusky was not employed by Penn State. He was employed by The Second Mile. He was not a volunteer. He was bringing children to Penn State from the Second Mile while employed by them.

He was a Professor Emeritus at Penn State with his own office and full access to facilities so there was certainly an affiliation with Penn State. Beyond that, 2nd Mile was Penn State football's charity. Lets not get it twisted. Yes, the tax records show they are dfferent entities and legally, they are, but they are very closely related. I even have a Mike Mauti 2nd Mile Penn State card, given to me as a joke.

You can do the Pyongyang shuffle until the cows come home, Slappy, but there is one irrefutable fact all your twisting and turning can't change: the Pennsylvania State University has admitted responsibility for Sandusky's crimes going back to 1971 to the tune of $93,000,000. Can you say "We are ... Guilty"?

It appears some of you youngsters have a problem staying on subject. All you do is spew emotional bull. Just exactly where did I twist and turn. Just exactly what isn't true that I stated? I won't wait for an answer because you never do. 98 did not get swept under the rug and that is a fact. The police and the DA investigated. Get that? Just because Penn State paid doesn't mean guilt whatsoever. The documents state that very wording. The AG's office said it was unsubstantiated.

Let's see if you can follow along here. Kenneth Frazier, president of Merck, maker of Vioxx is fighting in court against settlements and doing quite well. Does that make Merck not guilty? Yeah another former BOT at Penn State. Like I said, I could care less what you think of Penn State, but at least try some facts once in a while.

Ok, so since Penn St wasn't his employer, and didn't know who the kid was, why did they feel obliged to report to TSM? Why not call the police?

Yes....paying that much out is an admission of guilt. You think you are winning this debate in the court of public opinion. I am sure you are sitting back after typing post after post showing how PSU has zero culpability in any of this and thinking "man am I brilliant". No. You are not brilliant.

He was Coach Emeritas with keys to Penn State facilities and a parking spot. Penn State was 100% responsible for each and every child assaulted on their property (and in hotels at away games) for FORTY YEARS. Those janitors and assistant coaches who saw and did nothing should rot in jail along with the demigod and administrators who created a culture of protecting the cash cow's golden image. You can't believe I'm your heart of hearts that nobody knew. The university has paid out $150M to protect the truth and the Jameis Winston apologist turned lunatic ranter was pandering to the 5 million strong Nit Cult to keep your money rolling in. The other 300M Americans can see that the first and simplest unspun nor over rationalized explanation is almost always right.

Is that the same DA that mysteriously disappeared and his laptop was found in a river with it's hard drive removed?
 
Help me out here: if Penn State is indeed paying sexual abuse victims going all the way back to the 1970s, as was discovered this week as part of an ongoing court case, if that's not an acknowledgment of some level of culpability by Penn State what exactly does it mean in practical terms?

I'm not talking about legal disclaimers because we are not in a court of law. I'm asking what that means to you as a human being?

If it's just a matter of them giving away money because they are just that benevolent, where do I sign up?

I think the way you guys typically try to win these debates is to try to frame the argument in very precise and misleading terms.

For example you will say that Joe reported it to his "superiors" therefore he did the right thing. After all, he can't run the legal system.

No, he/they did the legal minimum but it was clearly not the **right** thing because children continued to be abused long after he reported it to his superiors - and by superiors I mean the guys who tried to fire him a few years earlier but whom he threw off his porch and were told to go to hell for daring to challenge his authority.

More to the point, Sandusky continued to bring kids to Penn State bowl games and to the Penn State athletic facilities long after that discussion.
