I do not know what it was that made me drop everything I was doing, but I needed to channel my fuchsia spirit.
I recall a series of articles put out by Steve Neavling of Motor City Muckrucker on Fouts and his questionable audio recordings.
I always wondered how he got those recordings.
Perhaps, we may have a person of interest, Amanda Mika.
Now, why would I assert that Amanda may have assisted Steve in securing those questionable audio recordings?
Because we are in Macomb County.
Yes, the same Macomb County where former Sheriff Bill Hackle was prosecuted for rape, in a hotel room, with a lovely young woman, just like Amanda.
The entire situation reminded me of what happened to Jack Lessenberry for the simple fact that his victim of sexual assault was Violet Ikonomova, who works with Charlie LeDuff over at Deadline Detroit, who at one time had taken Steve Neavling under his wing.
So, when I looked into Bill Hackel, I found this delicious blog, that just so happened to have gone into detail about the masonic network in Detroit.
That masonic network is where lots and lots of stealin' the children, land & vote is funneled in Macomb County.
There is a masonic network in Detroit Child Welfare stealin', too.
But, what made me take another substantial pause, in a state of shock, was that, at the end of the blog, on the bottom right of the page, was the illustrious, original godfather of child welfare propaganda grifting, Bill Windsor, who just so happened to have partnered with Debbie Williams.
Yes, the very same Debbie Williams who is partnering with Connie Reguli, and probably the National Action Network and NAACP, to do D.C. in August to interfere in the 2020 election, to march... so they can keep on child welfare grifting...and cover up what they all did to my Sweetie.
Meet Bill Windsor.
This is how they invaded the United States, one foreign grifting op at a time.
Warren council axes Mayor Fouts' longtime aide from budget — he's not happy

| Amanda Mika, administrating stuff in the City of Warren |
The council also took another perceived swipe at Fouts by approving ballot language to reimpose stricter term limits on the mayor's office.
"This is an out-of-control council controlled by outsiders who would like to get control of lucrative contracts and licenses," Fouts said of the budget the council approved June 30, hours before the new fiscal year began July 1. "This is a combination of censorship, retaliation, retribution and basically political terrorism."
Fouts has been battling with the City Council since a newly-elected council took office after the November election. They have sparred on matters involving recreational marijuana, a proposed social media policy for officials, access to city department heads and even the city attorney's job status.
The new budget eliminates one of six positions in the mayor's office, that of executive administrator, which had a salary of $90,857.
Council President Pat Green said the council was merely eliminating what it thought was a long vacant position.
"That position has been open since Lou Schimmel left the city (in 2011) and it's never been filled," he said.
FUN FACT! LOU SCHIMMEL WAS THE FORMER EMERGENCY MANAGER FOR THE CITY OF HAMTRAMCK

She told the Free Press on Monday that she was promoted to the No. 2 spot in the mayor's office earlier this year from her longtime position of executive assistant, which had a budgeted salary of $78,494.
Mika and Fouts said the council not only cut her executive administrator position from the budget, but also her former union position as assistant planner.
Mika's six-month stint as an assistant planner caused a kerfuffle in 2017, when a complaint was filed to look at whether it was a ploy to provide her with lifetime job protection under civil service rules.
Mika returned to her non-civil service job in Fouts' office after the six-month period, putting in enough time to allow her to transfer to a civil service job in the city if Fouts left office. The Warren Civil Service Commission didn't take up the complaint.
"They're clearly targeting me," Mika said of the council's recent budget move. "I think it's political. Obviously, they have an issue with me. ... I'm not happy. I'm offended."
Mika said she's going to continue working "even if it means I'm working for free." She said a few residents have called her, and "I'm right where they need me to be."
Green said the council did not receive information that anyone had been appointed to the long-vacant position.
"And we went back historically," he said, "there's no appointment to that position. We are reasonably assured that has never been filled. And we stand by that information."
Green said all of Mika's emails come out with the title of executive assistant on them, her LinkedIn account says executive assistant and Fouts referred to her as executive assistant during a June 18 budget hearing. Green said nothing about Mika's change in position was sent over to the clerk's office or announced to council.
Green said as part of budget questions to the city controller, he asked for a list of everyone in Fouts' office by name and position, but the controller's office did not respond.
He said Fouts could have provided this information at the June 18 budget hearing, but refused to, "so we're standing by our budget." He said council is asking its legal counsel whether Mika was in the administrator position improperly and what steps can and should be taken.
But Mika and Fouts said the council never afforded Fouts the chance to provide the information about his office at the budget hearing, saying they muted him and hung up on him.
After that, Green said that Fouts just referenced that Mika is the executive assistant and that he thought that she was the executive administrator, "so I just want to make sure that we have the right people in the right, right positions."
Mika said council could have asked human resources for a list of personnel in the mayor's office. Neither she nor Fouts said council made that request of Fouts' office.
Mika said she wants to continue to use the executive assistant title because it's "more relatable." She said all of the positions in Fouts' office are filled, including her old job as executive assistant.
Fouts said he believes the budget will be reconsidered by the council. Councilwoman Angela Rogensues said in a July 2 email to council that she would like her vote reconsidered for the 2020-21 budget.
Fouts said he's planning to have budget meetings with key people on his staff this week to discuss options, including a veto. He said he doesn't want to lay off remaining staff to put Mika into place because "everyone who works for me is valuable."
While Fouts hasn't vetoed the budget, he has vetoed council's approval of a ballot question that would ask voters a yes or no question: Should the office of mayor have the same terms as the other city elected offices, which is the greater of three complete terms or 12 years?
Green said the ballot language has to be approved by the state. If approved, he said the question would be on the November ballot. If approved by voters, he said, it would take effect immediately, but Fouts would serve out the rest of his current fourth four-year term.
"In no way, shape or form is it trying to remove him from office," Green said, adding that council wants all elected officials in the city on the same page with 12 years in office.
Voters in 2016 approved extending the term limit for the office of mayor from three four-year terms in office or 12 years to five four-year terms or 20 years.
Fouts said he hasn't decided whether he would run for a fifth term as mayor and called the council's ballot question vote "a distraction."
"They want to take over the office of the mayor," he said. "They don't think they can beat me in a fair and square election."
