Still No Word from Essel on the Holocaust Deniers
More than day since a story broke that CD2 Candidate Chris Essel organized a fundraiser with a Turkish-American organization that denies the Armenian Genocide ever took place there is radio silence from her campaign. As well local journos and blogs, other than the LA Weekly and Mayor Sam, have yet to pick up on the explosive story.
In the meantime, video has surfaced of Essel's opponent Paul Krekorian, following the passing of a resolution recognizing the Genocide by the California Assembly (which received a landslide bi-partisan vote of 77-3), speaking at a protest at the Los Angeles Turkish Consulate where Krekorian notes his family lost members in the Genocide.
We will continue to wait for some statement from Essel.

There will be no comment from Essel.
She is trying to ride on the anti-Armenian vote in ST.
This is all deliberate.
Can we make a list? What Chris Essel hates?
Neighborhood councils
Armenians
Higby
neighborhood activists
what else?
Higby's just lying. Essel made an unequivocal statement to the LA Weekly yesterday:
"When asked about the meeting, Essel's campaign released a statement that the candidate "strongly believes" that the Armenian genocide occurred and should be recognized by "all governments."
Essel's statement described the event as a "meet and greet" where contributions were not required and noted: "The Essel campaign does not refuse to meet with people on the basis of their ethnicity.""

That's it! I was going to vote for Christine Essel but can't now. I'm not Armenian but I have lots of friends who are and I won't be a party to this hatred.
And yet another reason NOT to vote for Essel.
"AB 1319, as amended, Krekorian. Talent services.
Existing law regulates the licensing and operation of talent services within the entertainment industry. These provisions govern the making and canceling of contracts, fees to be charged for services, records to be maintained by talent services, bonding requirements, and remedies for violations of these provisions, a violation of which constitutes a crime. This bill would prohibit a person from engaging, as specified, in an advance-fee talent representation service, as defined. This bill would also impose additional disclosure and contract requirements for a talent service, as defined. The bill would make a willful violation of its provisions a misdemeanor and subject to a civil action.
Because the bill would create new crimes, it would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason."
Big mistake, Chris Essel!!!!
Big f***ing mistake!!!!
9:56 What anti-Armenian vote in S-T. That's wishful thinking.You're in for a big surprise.
How about What Chris Essel loves?
- SB 1818
- Greig Smith and Mitch Englander
- Developers
- Movie industry people (unless she can make more money outsourcing)
- Oppressing neighborhood councils
- Antonio Villaraigosa
Think hard about this. Follow the money. Find out how she would vote on your issues. Ask her who her staff would be if she were elected. That's important. They make a lot of decisions. Who would she appoint or endorse for North Valley Area Planning Commissioners?
Chris Essel is bad news. And you should spread that news.
Essel will take money from ANY ONE, and this proves it.
This women has no shame or decency.
Why is Essel still lying about this.
This was not a meet and greet it was a fundraiser.
If it was a meet and greet why would she be holding it in Beverly Hills. Is that part of the district?

Essel people have been using the race card-Anti-Armenian card up in ST for a while.
Higby:
This is a big gift to Krekorian.
They will use this to bump up Armenian turn out.
It is a stupid move on Essel's behalf. But it will give you the result you want, a Paul victory.
Mr. Higby:
There was no Genocide of the Armenians. They tried to control Turkey the way they try to control Los angelez.
Mrs. Essel is right to be against the Armenian take over.
As usual turks using jews to do their dirty work for them.
Regarding When asked about the meeting, Essel's campaign released a statement that the candidate "strongly believes" that the Armenian genocide occurred and should be recognized by "all governments."
Next time at the turkish fundraiser
i would like to see Mrs Essel make the above statement that the genocide should be recognized in front of all these turks,than i will vote for her.
As usual turks using jews to do their dirty works. Regarding the post by anonymous:
When asked about the meeting, Essel's campaign released a statement that the candidate "strongly believes" that the Armenian genocide occurred and should be recognized by "all governments."
I would like to see Mrs Essel read this statement in front of all the turks at the the turkish funraiser that the genocide occured.
