In response to the thousands of requests I have gotten to address the 'rest of the story,' I have compiled this site to provide additional insight into this situation.
Every effort [on the part of
town officials] has been made to convince
onlookers that this isn't what it looks
like. Very few people have accepted
their version of events. There's actually
a reason for that. If you look past 'the
front page' there can be no doubt that this
situation is what it is for a reason.
Since the
video
that went viral, and the allegations
of the Quartzsite 10 there is other information trickling from
the Mineshaft that
will clarify these issues further.
Walk with me and see if you can figure out where
the bones are buried.
THE TIMELINE
Quartzsite has a lengthy history of corruption.
Is there a feud? No.
There was -- nearly 20 years ago -- a disagreement between
the founding Mayor
and another man who was ultimately convicted of attempting to hire a
killer to take Oldham out of the picture. The conspiracy to kill
Oldham netted Quartzsite national media attention, even though the
story broke the same weekend as the O.J. Simpson story: June 1994.
Byrd was later released from prison and has since died. [December
2001.] This widely publicized story has been used by the council and
several other officials in Quartzsite to convince people that
there's no lawlessness happening today -- but just echoes of a long
ago 'feud' that keep reappearing on the scene.
The truth is that this 'story' is simply the
'approved method' of muddying the water in the hope that you won't
dig any deeper.
Don't fall for it. Instead, FOLLOW THE MONEY.
