Funny, Ramon said on DC Wire that he was going to attend the Eaton debate and challange candidates, especially Brooks on certain issues. If he was there last night (laughing at the thought), then why didn't he take the opportunity to ask Sam a question with the microphone in hand? Others ask questions of the candidates! I doubt "Ramon" was there. That, or he is too chicken to back up his anonymous postings on the internet with Real action. I challange you or Ramon to back up your words and threats at the next forum. Ward 3 dems are havingt two more, and CCCA may be having one as well. B. Frank

Unlike the debate at John Eaton, last nights debate was attended mostly be uncommitted voters. These are the people who make up their minds when seeing all of the candidates on one platform, where they can compare and contrast styles and answers. Of course, the only word of mouth about candidate Rees is very unflattering. The mention of the name last night caused quite a stif of laughter within the audience, and there were a smattering of conversations afterwards about his posting style, etc. It is also interesting when sitting councilmen show up at functions such as last night and at Eaton. Hearing their opinions of the discussions, and which candidates they think they can work with is very enlightening. A mention of Rees' name to any of them who were at either prompted a simply roll of the eyes. Tom Sherwood and other members of the press were present last night, and at the Eaton event. The comments by members of the 4th estate about the candidate were, well, validating much of what has been posted here and elsewhere about the candidate. I can't wait until one of the publications decides to go with the full story! No, I do not thing anyone other than Rees and his merry band of aliases believes he is a real candidate for the office.

Luke, Clearly you haven't seen the post here: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/dcwire/2006...k.html#comments At 6:57. Is this true, or yet another fabrication? As evidenced by his lack of participation at candidate forums, his fabricated attacks on various candidates (or as he likes to refer to them, rivals), and his erratic online behavior, it is clear that Mr. Rees is not a serious candidate for office. I am beginning to believe the sociopath discussions, as his behavior models that of the various resources I have read to a tee. B. Frank

Based on what? Go back to your hole. It is much better here without you, Jonathan. By the way, I was waiting for you or Ramon to do a shout out last night at the Ward 3 Dems forum. B. Frank

Uh-huh. B. Frank

Look at post on in this thread. B. Frank

According to the moderator of this forum (Luke Wilbur), you, "Mr. Rees" have registered on this forum using the ward3lady@hotmail.com email address. Look at the first post in this thread. Luke has provided your email address and several IP addresses you have used under this alias. You really cannot be this obtuse as to deny it, can you? B. Frank

Interesting Mr. Rees, because there are some inconsistencies in your story. I have posted the link to this site you created in the past: http://www.stormpages.com/e/energylaw/. The first thing you discover is proof that the jrrees_1955 (the sick Yahoo profile, http://profiles.yahoo.com/jrrees_1955) despite your claims to the contrary, is a profile you indeed created. When you click on the link CEO, Jonathan R. Rees at the bottom of the page: that gives you the email address, jrrees_1995@yahoo.com. Proof! But here's where it gets really interesting. Click on the link, Filing Manager I.R. Smith. You get this email address: ebonyfiretx@yahoo.com. Google just ebonyfiretx and that leads you to the resume of Ida Smith Rees. is that another wife -- or fake wife: http://www.stormpages.com/i/idaruth/ Go view source and you see that "Jonathan R. Rees" prepared Ida Smith Rees' resume. And guess where Ida Smith Rees was supposedly living when Rees prepared this resume: Longview, Texas. ebonyfiretx also leads to this via Google: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ustreetnews/...40?viscount=100 and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ustreetnews/...41?viscount=100 You just keep peeling the onion and getting more layers. B. Frank

So how is it that ward3lady@hotmail.com is the email address you used to register for the DC Messageboards.com forum according to board moderator and owner, Luke Wilbur?

Ward 3 circus stars the invisible Thelma Roque By Tom Knott Published May 25, 2006 Advertisement Thelma Roque has come to be one of the defining names of the increasingly volatile, ever-expanding D.C. Council race in Ward 3. Thelma Roque is not necessarily real or among the living, which is convenient. She cannot be held responsible for what is said in her name. Hers is one of the slew of pseudonyms waging a peculiar but sometimes entertaining political war in the wilds of cyberspace, as exhaustively detailed by Martin Austermuhle in a blog titled: "The Many Identities of Jonathan Rees." Mr. Rees, of course, is among the horde of Ward 3 candidates -- the exact number possibly eight, but subject to change. Mr. Rees is said to have some of the itchiest writing fingers in cyberspace, whether he is posting on DCist.com, DCpages.com or on one of the various neighborhood message board sites. Many of the editors of these sites have expressed a numbing fatigue in the ramblings involving Mr. Rees, short-sighted as the plea is. Any post involving the Ward 3 candidates is certain to inspire a huge amount of traffic, complete with readers offering their best literary imitation of Mr. Rees' distinctive prose. Of course, that distinctive prose has a way of showing up in all too many comments under all too many different names, as if to show that Mr. Rees is the best one-man debate club there ever was. The existence of a Thelma or a Roque remains highly questionable, and certainly baffling to those who could not find her name listed in the various D.C. databases. Her emergence begs a question: Why would anyone outside Ward 3 care at all about its political goings-on? Mr. Austermuhle, an editor with DCist.com, has linked Mr. Rees to as many as 28 aliases, accurate or not. Not surprisingly, Mr. Rees has denied the charges and claims to be a victim of the operatives working on behalf of Sam Brooks. If so, then it is Mr. Brooks who is slamming Mr. Brooks in order to make it appear as if Mr. Rees is slamming Mr. Brooks. That is rich stuff. Or perhaps it is all the fault of Thelma Roque. It was the contention of Thelma Roque that an Advisory Neighborhood Commission member violated a multitude of campaign laws after taking up the cause of Mr. Brooks. Thelma Roque never has made clear her interest in these nefarious activities, other than as a concerned citizen. The actions of Thelma Roque led to more accusations. It seems that Mr. Brooks leaves little old ladies stranded in the middle of busy intersections and is conducting his campaign from his home in Des Moines, Iowa. To his credit, Mr. Brooks has made a promise to move to Ward 3 if duly elected. Or something like that. All the trickery in the Ward 3 race has a way of making your eyes roll up into the back of your head, and nothing against Thelma Roque. In a recent development, the D.C. shadow senator, whatever his name is, has opted to join the Ward 3 fray. In his case, winning the part-time gig would result in a significant step up in pay and the ability to come out of the shadows. With eight candidates and however many more to come, the winner is liable to need only seven or eight votes, assuming the dead are no longer permitted to vote in the District, and that includes Dudley Moore. Thelma Roque undoubtedly is analyzing the political worthiness of the shadow senator, which is fitting. After all, it takes a shadow citizen to know a shadow senator. As it turns out, Thelma Roque is developing what political candidates inevitably crave, which is name recognition. She is becoming an urban legend and may not even know it. Wherever you go in Ward 3, you are peppered with the following: "How about that Thelma Roque?" If Thelma Roque ever leaves cyberspace, the Ward 3 race just might be hers to win.

Now why would Mr. Rees have an email address named "ward3lady"? B. Frank

Human, Please demonstrate any posts I have made that you would regard as a "personal attack". I can demonstrate at least 50 posts that Mr. Rees and his various aliases have made that can be considered personal attacks (either in the form of lies, impersonations, or plain ludeness). B. Frank

That's down from the 99% you have posted elsewhere. On what do you base your statistics? B. Frank

http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/lips/2006/lips0519.html "Most candidates who appeared in person chose a low-key performance instead. Ward 3 council hopeful and notorious community e-mail discussion group pest Jonathan Rees was so intent on getting to the office early that he appeared to have passed on the shower and shave. And his clothing choice apparently slipped by his fashion advisers. Rees presented himself in an oversized white T-shirt emblazoned with a glittery label: “Crazy Caribbe"

Here is but one of numerous examples of a non-Verizon account used by Mr. Rees. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ward3dc/message/267?source=1 Mr. Rees has used AOL, Level 3, Mindspring/Earthlink, Verizon and other ISPs. B. Frank
