Jason Smith
current Vice Chairman of the Libertarian Party of Nevada and Candidate for Clark County
Commission District F is continuing to spread the lies and fabrications that I
have/had a crush on Cindy Lake and made flirtatious advances towards her and
since I was turned down I now have a vendetta against him, because Cindy didn’t
become Vice Chair of the Libertarian Party of Nevada and a vendetta against
Cindy herself because she has turned my advances down.
This is yet
another complete lie and fabrication.
However, I as someone who knows Jason Smith not only from Facebook, but personal through numerous meetings of the Libertarian Party of Nevada and through many conversations about him with Brett H. Pojunis, Chairman of the LPN, I know that Jason Smith is not stupid and in fact highly intelligent.
Jason Smith
therefor would have never even made his first untrue allegations on August 28
unless he knew with certainty that Cindy Lake would not interfere and call him
out on his lies. The only logical explanation for this is simply that Cindy
Lake herself put him up to this in spite of her denials, either to give him
ammunition to slander me or because she really thought or thinks I had a crush
on her.
Absolutely nothing could be further from
the truth. I had/have no romantic nor sexual attraction towards Cindy and have
at no point ever felt that she would have harbor such feelings and desires
towards me.
In a private
Facebook message with Cindy Lake on August 28 she assured me that she knew that
his allegations were not true, but she didn’t want to respond to his posting,
because he didn’t mention her name and wanted to stay out of it.
In a recent email to Cindy Lake on
September 29 I brought the issue about Jason spreading these lies about me
having a crush on her up again and probed her by asking Cindy who might have
put Jason up to this.
In her email reply the same day Cindy
Lake changed her story significantly. She now “confessed” to me that she was
too embarrassed to comment but also repeated that he didn’t mention her. She
continued to explain that she told Jason that she didn't like it and it was
wrong to do and that she did not appreciate it but could not answer for where
he got the idea. She thought that going against another liberty candidate would
hurt her.
Please
continue reading past the excerpts of Jason Smith’s postings, as I will
continue explanations after them.

Jason Smith:
Cut… Your problem, Elmer, is you are motivated by something even more sinister
than what you accuse me of. You have this Quasimodo type crush on a married
woman who refused your nomination and efforts to get her to run for the
position I am in in the LP. You go on like Don Quixote when in fact the object
of your fantasy and crush is happily married with a family. I had pity on you
before, and I guess I still do, but it is now mixed with a sense of shame and
disrespect for what you are doing to members of the Liberty movement. I have
answered the questions of the journalists who have called for a comment on your
accusations. They all agreed that either you are mentally unstable, or just a
lonely broken little man with little left to do than cry about the sky falling
from underneath your overpass. You may do as you like, you may say whatever you
think will get you attention; but you do a disservice to those who wish to
fight against the largesse of government and fraud and waste when you make wild
accusations because you have an axe to grind.

Jason Smith:
This is not about fracking. This is about Elmer. Elmer doesn't get enough
attention. Elmer doesn't get appreciated for all his keyboard warrioring. Elmer
delivered the position of Vice Chair of the LP on a silver platter to a married
woman he has a crush on, and she was not interested in the position, so Elmer
has a grudge against me. Elmer, shame on you.

Jason Smith:
Cut… There are new Facebook groups that started up of people who want nothing
to do with you because of what you are doing to me, and Cindy Lake...all
because a woman who is married with children did not give you enough attention
or accept your flirtatious advances? You are despicable. It is not me saying
this, there are others who are saying you have this vendetta, Elmer. It
explains why you endorsed and worked on her campaign, then now after being told
off that you shun and withdraw your endorsement. You hold grudges against me
for not doing your bidding while Cindy has told me repeatedly she did not want
to be an officer in the Libertarian Party, and REFUSED YOUR NOMINATION at
convention. No, Elmer, this is nothing more than unrequited fantasy lust on
your part, and shame on you for taking it this far. I have more than enough
business, personal and political references to my character, loyalty and ethics
that your scurrilous accusations amount to nothing more than jealous petty cat
fighting …Cut
Last night
while researching the exact and detailed events for my reason to why I had quit
Cindy Lake’s Campaign I scrolled through the archive of Facebook messages
exchanged with Cindy and found a message from July 25, right after the big
blow-up, that I sent to her, that could most easily be misunderstood and could
easily be misconstrued that I might indeed have had a crush on Cindy, unless
the message was accompanied by a lengthy explanation, to an outsider.
This message
I sent, also refers on several occasions to “hurt feelings” as there most
certainly were hurt feelings involved and that on both sides. It does however
explain why so many people in the recent fighting here in this group had used
the term “hurt feelings” when talking about reasons why I left Cindy’s campaign
or why I withdrew my endorsement for her.
Agitators like
Angie Morelli, Monica Jones, Jimmy Barber, Jason Smith, Cindy Brown and others
have all mentioned “hurt feelings” as the reason for my alleged vendetta. Some
have used certain words and terminology specific to some of the communication
between Cindy and me, leaving me no other conclusions that Cindy in fact had
shared our private communication and specifically this culpable sounding
message I sent her, with an unknown number of people.
When I texted
Cindy and ask her if she had shared our private communications with others, she
did not reply and instead unfriended me and left my Clark County Politics group.
Even if the
allegations were true, I would find it more than tacky to share this message
with others.
As I do not
appreciate the fact someone is holding something over me with this message and
as it has apparently already been circulated, I am considering posting the
message myself, in spite that it makes many references most private to and
about me that I would otherwise not wish to share with anyone but closest
friends.
I counted
Cindy Lake, Tasha Heath and Brett H. Pojunis as my close friends in the
political scene here in Las Vegas and had enjoyed immensely working closely
with Cindy on her campaign which led to my conviction that we really were close
friends who worked very well and effectively together.
Looking back
at the nearly 5,000 Facebook messages, numerous emails, group and event
meetings and the two or three phone calls we ever exchanged, I cannot see how
Cindy Lake could possibly misunderstand our strictly professional relationship
as anything else but exactly that.
I wondered
what Cindy Lake’s excuse for not
speaking up and rectifying the truth will be this time, now that Jason Smith had
mentioned her by name in his last posting on October 6th in reply to
my posting in the Independent American Party of Nevada’s Facebook Group
concerning Jason Smith stance and involvement to Fracking in Nevada.
| Steve Esh, Cindy Lake and Tom Jones |
However, this
little problem has been very eloquently resolved for Cindy the very next day. I
strongly suspect Tom Jones, Chairman of the Independent American Party of
Nevada, Clark County Chapter and one of the three Administrators of the IAPNV
Facebook Group had deleted my posting about Jason Smith’s stance on Fracking in
Nevada that I originally made some 7 weeks earlier, along with Jason Smith’s
reply of October 6 in which he mentioned Cindy by her name. Both other
Administrators of the group, Vice Chairman of the IAPNVCC Brad Lee Barnhill and
Cody Quirk both denied having deleted the posting which I am convinced is true.
IAPNVCC
Chairman Tom Jones was the only one who has never even responded to my inquiry
as to who deleted my posting and why.
Not
surprisingly though if you know that Chairman Tom Jones was one of the major
proponents of Cindy Lake running for Candidate for the Clark County Commission
G, is one of her major supporters and last but not least the IAPNVCC has
endorsed Cindy Lake.
Do people at least ask themselves
sometimes, how deep the rabbit hole really goes?
