That bad smell coming from Carriage Hills

The stench known as Taranis (aka Taranis Ore Ass Rex) located on Conifer Drive is up to their "pump and dump" tricks again. Whenever you see an over-the-counter penny stock traded in America with supposed mineral riches somewhere in distant Canada, you can bet your bottom dollar (as Taranis hopes you do) there is nothing in the ground at either site. Taranis is headquartered [sic, if you define a modem and a Walmart printer as HQ] in Estes Park (lucky us), not exactly a hotbed of mining expertise, but if a retired guy has been chased out of three other communities and wants to work his scam out of Carriage Hills, who are we to interfere?
The various exotic descriptives ("Thor", "Thunder Zone", "The Tusk") for the supposed exploration site are written for the layman or the teenage video game enthusiast, with some actual or made-up technical terminology (porphyry, epithermal) thrown in, all of which pretty much translates to "bullshit, bullshit, bullshit". The only thing you need to know when reading any of the Taranis "press releases" is that the site has been studied for sixteen years. In the days of the Colorado gold rush, if prospectors hadn't found something in 16 days, there was nothing to be found, so they moved on. The only thing Taranis is mining in this section of British Columbia is stupid investors' money, the only things they are exploring include different ways to describe the same pink elephant, and trotting out the same "expert" dressed up in different battery-operated equipment. It costs about $1000/month to rent a Bobcat - The fact that Taranis keeps flying over this site instead of actually digging somewhere shows you how the money they are making off the poor suckers is actually being spent. I feel bad that anyone who gets hooked on this boiler room scam will associate Estes Park with scams. Of course, anyone who lives in Estes Park and buys the line that they somehow find themselves in a paradise created by our beneficient overlords is a victim of a different type of shell game, n'est-ce pas, Kirbee?

The Estes Park Economic Development Corporation (EPEDC) is patting itself on the back because "the award for 'Small Community of  the Year' was presented" to them by the Economic Development Council of Colorado (EDCC) "on behalf of a town that sets its sights on building a more resilient, inclusive, and vibrant community and economy after recovering from the devastating Colorado floods in 2013." How has the following economic development been beneficial to Estes Park? The Estes Park Event Center, completed in spring 2014, has not brought all the big events expected from outside of our community.  It is not profitable. The Estes Park Medical Center (i.e., Park Hospital District) did not have the money to build the EPMC/Anschutz Wellness Training Center within the two years specific in the "Contract for Sale of Lot 4" to John Cullen, owner of the Stanley Hotel (i.e., Grand Heritage Hotel Group, LLC).  Since the money was not raised, according ...

I'm always fascinated by the question of why Marie Cenac entered local politics

Image
Trustee Cenac is very anti-government involvement in constituents' problems, which is interesting, since she takes up one of the precious six seats on the town board, which is ostensibly a local government entity, organized to protect and serve the local taxpayers. If you go back through any noise ordinance discussion over the past six years, you will find, without fail, when she buzzes in to talk (and she never feels uncompelled to share this laissez faire opinion), that she constantly and consistently lectures the audience on where they choose to live determining whether they have any right to complain. This is known as victim blaming - If you are raped, it is because of the way you dress, if your business is vandalized by a customer bent on destruction, it is because your windows aren't strong enough to withstand getting hit with a large rock, and, God forbid, if you can't tolerate 14 straight hours of 100+ decibel noise, it is because your ears are pansies and you pic...

Okay so I'll say it

Jeez we have a bunch of milquetoast pretend journalists in town. The guy who was arrested locally a few clicks back, Keaton M.A. Krell, is the same guy who sexually assaulted a bunch of underage females in Linn County, Kansas, and, brazenly, got away with it. The airtight connection is through his wife or ex-wife or whoever star pupil and non-profit wunderkind Candace Krell is. But even then, c'mon, how many folks named Keaton M.A. Krell are running around diddling little girls? Get some cojones, POR (paper of record) and POR (podcast of record). You did the work (sort of) now publish the findings. Stop hiding behind the town as an excuse to avoid going to press - the PIO and TA aren't going to give you anything because they are scared of their own shadows. For the low IQ crowd and too easily unconvinced: Note how Candace Krell used to give her home address on LinkedIn as Estes Park, Colorado Here's another big whoopsie And this And this And this
