The Case of The King

Jenkins is conducting a witch hunt
which has resulted in the smearing
of at least six innocent people so far.
When do the burnings begin?

Yesterday was Jerry Labriola, Jr's Day.  After months of discussions and prodding by Members of State Central and Registered Republicans, he made the decision to enter the race for State Chairman of the Connecticut Republican Party. Given the widely accepted view of the current set of candidates, as a whole, his entry is refreshing to many of us who would like to see the CTGOP move away from cronyism and defeat to fair play and victory.  Whether or not, State Central Members have the courage to put someone in office who doesn't do deals and payoffs is yet to be seen.

Good Luck, Labriola.  If you can overcome the tidal wave of filth and corruption led by a small band of politicos, then you'll be my personal hero.  Remember, the people who think they are in control of the Party are an inch away from losing it.  The Aniskovich fiasco is evidence that our CT Republican Leaders and their cohorts have stopped thinking all-together.  For if they had a brain in their heads, they would have never fronted a candidate who is an absolute embarrassment to Republicans in general.  And everyone who got mixed up in their web of collusion is guilty. 

I should take a moment to point out that there are good people running for the Chairmanship who I believe are a step above this, including Pauline Kezer, Al Alper, and Rich Olivastro.  I do not care what they think of The King, but if their resumes came across my desk - I wouldn't think twice to hire them into any position because for one, they are all independently successful in their private lives, and moreover - I strongly believe they have the best interest of the Republican Party at heart.

Now to the subject at hand.  Hold on to your seats, because its about to get embarrassing for some.

As many readers know by now, yesterday Connecticut Republican State Secretary, Bill Jenkins, sent a long written email condemning Joe Visconti (Former First District Republican Candidate, and former West Hartford Town Councilman) and this blog.  It was not the fact that he criticized Visconti and myself that is of concern, it is the fact that within his letter he included detailed personal information about who he thought was The King which included this person and his wife's name, address, phone number, occupation, and date of birth!  In most companies, if someone had left this information sitting around a printer - they would be suspended or fired from their job due to strict HIPAA and privacy guidelines (you sign these forms every time you go to the doctor).

After careful consideration, I will not republish that email here or make specific reference to the name of the private citizen mentioned. According to what I've heard, the email was already provided to the Press by multiple persons; apparently, the victim of Jenkin's exceedingly poor judgement was none to pleased with seeing his personal information distributed to 72+ State Central Members.  Take a minute, and imagine what you'd be thinking if the Secretary of the Democrat Party took your personal data and distributed it to members of the Democrat Caucus - to be forwarded, and forwarded, and re-forwarded all over Connecticut, and beyond.  Tell me, who here, other than one sow in Bristol who keeps fanning the flames, thinks this was really a Good Idea?

Jenkins refers to people who don't agree with him as a nobody from nowhere.  Jenkins, please take note that there are few aristocrats, like yourself, living in that epi-center, Chaplin, Connecticut. 

Bottom Line: Bill Jenkins should resign. 

It's not surprising that neither Christopher Healy, and Catherine Marx have said a word to reprimand this act.  They have an obligation as leaders of the CTGOP to condemn Bill Jenkins and all those involved for taking this action.  Hey, Catherine - I'll give you a plug if you show an ounce of courage!  Silence is acceptance, and your silence speaks volumes! Actually, since Bill Jenkins is working for Catherine Marx, we can assume she's behind all of this, can't we?

Since Bill Jenkins has such a big mouth, he has also been telling people that it was Justin Clark who did the dirty work to dig up the information on The King.  I'm told that instead of being concerned about Jenkin's behavior, Clark is more afraid that his employers (and a certain city's Mayor who I will leave out of it for the time being) might take issue with his lack of judgement - particularly as an attorney.  Clark, you're a jerk!  And unlike Bill Jenkins, who has a reputation for being foul, and irresponsible, you know better than to play the Nixon-game - particularly on a private citizen.  Since you are so darn worried about what Tom Foley thinks, I wonder how Tom Foley feels about this?  Whatever the case, your research may have cost the Party big time, if this all goes in the wrong direction.  It's true, you didn't send the letter - but did you ask what the intention was?  Was I simply going to be added to the State Republican Christmas Card list?  I think not.  And neither do you! 

I mentioned before that Bill Jenkins has a reputation for misbehavior.  And as an elected official he is subject to public criticism.  Please see

for evidence that this aggressive behavior has been a trend, not a one time occurrence.  Using filthy language and making derogatory statements about women in his official capacity as Secretary is unacceptable.

Further, his subsequent follow up email today forwarded to me shows his lack of remorse for his overall lack of judgement. Jenkins now accuses two additional people who have nothing to do with the The King's View in its current form or authorship!  (This reminds of the Salem Witch trials, perhaps we'll hang a couple dozen State Central Members who have even spoken to or have ever been seen standing next to Joe Visconti).    I will make sure those people you named will get a copy of your email!!  Jenkins, thank God you aren't firing a gun, you'd likely kill your own troops. You're an idiot!

Before I close, I'd like to make one thing very clear.  Earlier this year, Republicans lost the Governorship, and failed to make gains in Federal Elections.  This was due in part to poor coordination at the top.  After this failure, I began to call for a replacing our 4-year incumbent Chairman, hoping that infusing new blood, new ideas, and strategies may help to turn things around. 

Whenever you challenge the status quo (particularly in the tongue and cheek style that I use), you draw ire from the die hard loyalists who benefit from things to stay as they are.  Chris Healy, to his credit, did the smart thing - he ignored my blog and went off and did his own thing.  In fact, he probably could care less about any of it.  Regardless, after months of criticism, The King got his wish, and the embattled Chairman surrendered.

Two weeks ago, a handful of Republicans opted to front a candidate that would have created severe problems for the CTGOP to move forward.  The King once again took up against The Establishment and fought to make sure Bill Aniskovich did not become Chairman.  He surrendered, and we as a Party are much better off for it.  Moreover, the exposure of the deal-makers involved helped to provide Republicans with insight into exactly what goes on behind the curtain - particularly when registered Republicans and donors are paying for it through donations - and taxation.  There is a lesson to be learned here - sadly, so far only the audience seems to get it.

For weeks, The King has helped to make the case that Jerry Labriola, Jr. should make a run for Chairman to help rid us of our negative imagine and rebuild the Republican Party, and moreover - for the benefit of Connecticut taxpayers and businesses who are overtaxed, overworked, and underemployed, and forced to deal with some of the most perverse social engineering legislation in our State's history. 

If you know anything about the The King's View it is that regardless of my exposure, I will continue to shed light on the darkness, and fight to restore Yankee Conservatism to its rightful place for the citizens of Connecticut!  And if our leaders won't live up to the task, they will hear about it!

To the dozen or so sources who have been keen to provide me so much good information over the last few weeks - thank you. And your identities are safe with me although you might expect the witch hunt to continue.  You are patriot Nutmeggers - as you can see, we have a long way to go. The battle for the heart and soul of the CTGOP has just begun!

And we're going to have some fun along the way!

I AM

THE KING
