So anyone that knows me… knows that I hate it when folks set up smear sites against candidates in politics. A few years ago I outed the site that was setup to attempt to smear then Mayoral Candidate Billy Kenoi.
I don’t believe in much of the things Guy Enriques stands for… but I just hate folks that are anonymous and set up sites to harm folks and/or scam folks.
Recently, another smear site has been set up to smear current County Council member and candidate Guy Enriques… “Impeach Guy Enriques“
Anyone that understands “impeachment” will know that you can only impeach someone for something they have done while they are in office. :roll:
A quick search on the site reveals the following:

I am embarrassed that Guy Enriques was ever elected to represent District 6. The only bumper sticker we need to see today is “Google Guy Enriques”. No need to live in the dark about who he is. Britanny Smart will redeem Kau in the General Election on Nov. 2, as many of Enriques’ past supporters will no longer turn a blind eye.
Ours is not a smear campaign!!!!!
Enriques is trying to privatize and permanently gate the Kamaoa Dirt Road west of South Point Road that will land lock TMKs 9-3-005: parcels 10 & 11. His action will take access from TMK 9-3-003: parcel 9. If you go to TMK 9-3-005 you will see on that map there is a road from parcels 10 & 11 connecting to Kamaoa Road. You will notice I do not own those properties but those landowners are my neighbors and friends. I have the software and know-how to program web sites with good SEO. Go google Guy Enriques to see our web site comes up page 3 or google Enriques Guy we come up page 1.
It is unlawful to take real estate access from landowners without proper condemnation by eminent domain proceedings and proper payment, neither of which Enriques is proposing.
His other actions are totally inappropriate varying from just very bad taste to unlawful.
There is a land resolution to sell the public Kamaoa dirt Road on the Committee hearing Tuesday, August 17, 2010 somewhere in Kona. Actually we need your help and anybody’s help you know to stop this illegal sale. Later, when those property owners sue our county we will just pay them with our tax dollars – does that make any sense?
So, now you know our intentions are not to smear Enriques but to protect our rights as land owning citizens from someone whom I wished now I had not voted for.
My letter to various newspaper’s letter (which requires me to disclose my identity) to the editor is:
Have you ever voted for a politician that once he was elected was pretty much a total disappointment? I voted for Guy Enriques. Now that Enriques is in office I disagree with so many things about him I want my vote back. If you also want your Enriques vote back or just want him out of office then please go to http://www.impeachguyenriques.info , download the impeachment petition, sign it, ask your friends to sign it, and mail it to the address on the petition.
You just happened onto our web site before the next stage of publicity.
In any event I hope this explains we are not trying to smear anyone. We are just trying to protect land owners’ property rights from an errant politician.
Aloha,
Mort
This is not a smear when documented with facts. Sex offenders have no business representing us.

I heard about a flustered Enriques who voted against himself, although that clip was not included in the videos. Wished I was there to witness that comedy act. What’s not so comical is Enriques’ objection to the democratic process of a public hearing and site visit, suggested by councilman Yagong.
Enriques: “You’ll never get the real answer from the public hearing…far from the place to get the real honest truth of what people really see…creating a mountain out of a mole hill…making way way bigger issues out of this…(regarding Punalu’u)…loaded with people not from that district, voices that didn’t really live there. They came from all parts of the island. They weren’t really the voices of the people that were affected”
Hello, if according to Enriques ‘you’ll never get the real answer from the public hearing’, where people gather to give their views, then where ARE we going to get the real answer? From Enriques and his developer friends behind locked gates? This is not merely a mole hill that he wants to minimize and sweep under a rug. The consequences are island wide selling of public land to support private, gated, locked communities and resorts. The ramifications of this are huge. The reason that people came from all parts of the island to testify, ‘yelling and screaming’ against the Punalu’u development scheme is because this sacred place was about to be turned into a “massive Sea Mountain Luxury Housing Development…calling for over 1,000 luxury homes and TWO resorts and 2 acres of retail space!”. BTW, this public hearing in Punalu’u that Enriques claim ‘weren’t really the voices of the people’ succeeded in blocking the massive luxury housing development scheme, or did that escape his memory? South Point could very well be the next Punalu’u ploy, with a large landowner/developer who owns 1500+ acres behind this illegally gated public road. Rumor has it that this land connects with the 16,000 acres makai of HOVE, owned by developer Nani Kahuku ‘Aina LLC (who proposed resort hotels, 2 golf courses, an airport, 2000 homes, etc…) Imagine the potentials of turning this road private to accommodate these probable schemes. Things that make you go…hmmm…
Yagong: “Democracy is an opportunity for people to express how they feel and the real big question you’ve got to ask yourselves is why are we afraid to say we want to go out and hear from the people? We should never be afraid to take the opportunity to hear from the people that we represent. It’s always a good thing to let people participate in the process…you [Enriques] cannot make the argument only when it fits your purpose, it’s not really true presentation”.
Yes, why is Enriques afraid to hear from the people? Why was he opposed to allowing the people to participate in the democratic process of a public hearing? What does he have to hide? Who will privatization of this public road benefit and why?
Also not very comical is councilman Hoffman raising ethics questions and conflict of interest, asking Enriques to consider recusing himself from the vote. Allegations of political payback for campaign boosters probably came from the fact that $93,000 (reported) was ‘donated’ to Enriques last term. This is a significant amount for HI.
Below is the breakdown of his campaign contributions to the tune of $93,000 last term. If we research from ‘where’, ‘why’ and ‘who’ made these donations to Enriques, perhaps it’ll become more apparent.

PROOF that Enriques LIED about the illegally gated south point public road in Ka’u that he’s attempting to steal and hand over to his political supporters as payback:
http://www.bigislandvideonews.com/2010/08/20/video-series-kamaoa-road-privatization-debated/
5th video “HOFFMANN RAISES ETHICS QUESTION”– Kohala Councilman Pete Hoffmann asks Guy Enriques to consider recusing himself from a vote on the Kamaoa Road issue in light of allegations that the resolution introduced by the Ka’u representative is a political payback for campaign boosters.
Enriques: “I’ve had a lot of emails… who’ve gone to our office and stated exactly what you have …..that I have a …kind of a money issue here…that’s nowhere the case. I don’t know where that came from”
http://www.westhawaiitoday.com/articles/2010/08/12/local/local04.txt
“Other adjacent property owners are Bishop Estates/Kamehameha Schools, owning 11,851 acres; Monika Mallick, of Culver City, Calif., 1,598 acres; David Allen Rudacille and Carol Zimmermann, of Naalehu, 393 acres; Andrea and John Satkofsky, Naalehu, 48 acres; and Jeanette and Dean Kaniho, Naalehu, 28 acres, according to county tax records.”
Theodora and daughter, Monika Mallick (husband, Charles Ensey) are mega developers with huge land holdings and developments both on the Big Island, Oahu, and mainland, including 1,598 acres behind this illegal gate.
Mallick: https://nc.csc.hawaii.gov/Report/Public/20080910150526CC10340SA.html Mallick contributed at least $2000 to Enriques’ 2008 campaign under the guise of Holiday Inn of Covington in LA, $ 70 and $155 under Charles Ensey. Under what other entities????

Kanihos:
Stacks of Enriques political signs at their house speaks volumes. Everyone in the community knows they are staunch Enriques supporter, pro-development.
http://www.impeachguyenriques.info/html/der_gated_road_fuhrer.html
Someone should research Enriques’ campaign contributors in detail, at least the ones that are reported. We don’t know all the names of Mallick’s holdings; thus, it’s difficult to decipher how much they are actually contributing to Enriques, under different names. Many of his contributions are from Oahu and mainland, including developers. What’s the connection here? Also, there has been rumors about the connection of this Mallick 1,598 acre parcel and Nani Kahuku Developer’s 16,456-acre parcel makai of HOVE. Wouldn’t it be sweet to privatize this road, develop both of these huge land parcels into hotels, homes, golf courses, condominiums, malls, resorts, airport, etc….turn it into a gated playground for the ultra rich, with a private road that leads down to the famed Green Sands beach in South Point? Enriques is poised for this as he has manipulated the appointments to the Ka’u CDP steering committee in order to push his agendas. No wonder he objected to site visits/public hearings, and will not participate in voter’s guides.
The public needs to know about Enriques’ lies NOW, before the election. We cannot afford to have those with ties to special interests make decisions for our island.
Exposing someone’s personal info. that might cause them bodily harm might have legal consequences. I suggest that Damon delete this info. immediately.
Guy Enriques is a proven crook with his boto in young girls and his hand in big developer’s pocket. Good that this is coming out, although the informants are harassed and beaten up for it. We all need to speak out and speak out loudly!! Make your votes count and vote the crooks out! The only council people who should remain are Ford and Yagong.
Damon,
You do Mr. B a great disservice when he’s trying to do the community a grand service by exposing this crook Enriques. He and his thugs will sell Ka’u to the highest bidder. Whistle blowers need to be protected, not maligned and left out for the wolves.
Enriques and his cronies stop at nothing, including violence. Would you want to be at the receiving end?
He CLEARLY states Enriques’ position as a COUNCILMAN and as a CITIZEN below:
Guy Enriques in his position as 6th District County Councilman appears to support:
1. Assault case: 8 thugs total, seven men and one woman, at least one with a baseball bat, assaulted and beat up very badly a single man with his 12 year old daughter watching. For more details click here.
2. Legislation creating a policy to limit public access to drinking water with a fine up to $1,000 and up to 30 days in jail. For more details click here.
3. Denuding our beaches by selling black, white, and green sand plus black pebbles at his family’s Punalu’u souvenir shop. For more details click here.
4. Landlocking land owners without the due process of notifying them. For more details click here.
5. Violating “Sunshine Laws” per Judge Ibarra’s order. Even though other councilpeople were also involved we are not impeaching them because they are not in our district. For more details click here.
Guy Enriques in his position of citizen appears to support:
1. As his sexual escapades were published in two books – “Strong Women, Deep Closets” and “The Stronger Women Get, The More Men Love Football” on page 160 paragraph 1 sentence 2 of the latter book Enriques admitted to having an affair with a girl he coached in high school and college indicating he believes it is okay for adult coaches to have sex with their students. For more details click here.
This website is a public service to those who are not aware of Enriques’ forked tongue and fake Hollywood smile while he stabs ya in the back. We NEED to be informed, not silenced.
It’s not smear when everything stated is TRUTH. Damon, you do Mr. Bassan a great disservice by exposing hi identity. Corrupt Enriques and his violent supports will stop at nothing to silence the truth. If you listened in on the meeting regarding illegal privatization of the Old Govt Rd. in Kau, he open states that he objects to the democracy that open public meetings to further investigate this issue, suggested by councilman Yagong. Is THIS the belief system of someone who we want to represent the public (or rather big development). If you haven’t signed the impeachment petition, I suggest you do so and immediately withdraw Mr. Bassan’s personal info.
Yes, I agree “smear” sites suck, but on the other hand, some people may have a legit bitch and be terrified for their families and themselves to speak out. If this story is true I hope you haven’t exposed this guy to some very real danger. Not sure its really fair to publish all of his info without hearing more of the story. Just sayin’.
http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/peaceandfreedom4all
One could argue then, that EACH Council member’s web page on the County Website is “smear” as well. Each of them “smear” the intellect of the voting public!
http://www.co.hawaii.hi.us/council/districts.htm
Fair enough, but he probably is afraid that Enriques’ family will show up at his house with baseball bats, and I can’t blame him for that at all.
Haven’t people ever heard of private registration? It doesn’t cost extra if you know where to look.
“Smear site”?! Looks like a resident who cares about his district and sees it being placed at risk by councilman who is an opportunist, corporate prostitute, and a wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing. If you really don’t agree with much of Enriques’ policies, I’d think you would first spend some time attempting to refute some of Mr. Bassan’s claims, rather than labeling his site as smear. Instead, you come off as a knee-jerk supporter of everything he stands for.
Obviously you don’t know my feelings about Enriques… Nor my feelings about telling the truth online and stupid folks that try to disrespect folks behind hidden aliases.
You can’t impeach someone for acts they have done before they took office. What illegal acts has he done while in office?
Trust me… I’m not a supporter!
Who cares about whether he’s impeachable or not, or whether Mr. Bassan know’s squat about procedure? The point is that he is pissed because he is represented by such a shifty and vile monster, and he is concerned enough to voice his feelings on the matter. So, I think you are confusing ‘smear’, with passion- something we need to see a lot more of from our voters. I do appreciate that you may not share his views, but there is certainly no need to defend him when his constituents feel wronged.
If he would stand by his site and state who he is on his site… I would have no problem with it.
Until then… it’s nothing but a smear.
At the council meeting regarding Enriques’ measures to illegally privatize a public road, Mr. B stood up and said he was duped into voting for Enriques last term because he was misled and want his vote back. To have the balls to say that in public takes conviction and I hope we all have the balls to throw out the crooks that don’t represent us, the people. I applaud Mr. B and stand with him in the impeachment procedure.
Just to start, how about attempts to illegally selling Punalu’u or more recently, a public road to special interests? It’s call stealing under the guise of his political influence? What about attempts to deny access of water to the populace by imposing $1000 fines or 30 days jail sentence? How about being in cahoots with the water department in stealing the millions allocated to HOVE water/well issue. So much more. Impeach the bum before he can do much more damage, and believe you me, he’s already geared for it with the cronies he’s placed in the Ka’u CDP.
