"Porn seems to be the most important crime in Indy to the feds."

Porn and Ponzi

Monarch is a French company.

The system benefits from these phony corporations. The system demands that corporations create these phony subsidiaries and pay shakedown money to the system.

We actually expect the system to police itself and shut these payola rackets down?

Our local FBI and Justice Department is useless. Maybe if there were porn at the phony corporation, they'd find that. Porn seems to be the most important crime in Indy to the feds.

Phil Terry could be seen at any Democrat or Republican gathering offering seemingly unstoppable wine and beer flows. Lord knows just how much booze Terry poured down many politicians and the attorneys who run them.

I attended many political events, campaigns, etc., where Terry and Monarch were the benefactors for the glitterati and the connected monied set.

Has anyone delved into the truth of how that huge land parcel on Pendleton Pike was amassed by former Lawrence Republican Mayor Paul Ricketts and sold to Monarch.... who just happened to be looking for exactly a large land mass as they now have so that they could stay in Marion County? Ricketts is just another long-time political crook who stole his people blind.

Nothing new. 23 years ago I had friends who owned a catering company. They were short "trusted" staff for a luncheon buffet that took place in the Monarch beverage warehouse and offered me the gig. I helped set up, tear down and poured liquor. There were sales reps in expensive suits, big gold watches and driving expensive cars. And a couple of politicians. All I can say is that there was liquor, cash and drugs. It was a pretty swank, white tablecloth type lunch, lots of guys shaking hands and backslapping, throwing back drinks. More than a little coke. My friends have long since retired and moved away. It was just a catering gig to us. They paid extremely well. Somebody slipped me a bottle of liquor when I left. I always thought it must be a pretty cool place to make a living.
