BERUFF/NEAL/BENDERSON/JENSEN ARE USING BRILL TO TAKE OUT ANTI REC ESTABLISHMENT RAMIREZ/ANGLEY/HOEL
AMERICA FIRST BECOMES MAJOR THREAT TO NEAL/ BRERUFF/DeSANTIS AND UNIPARTY ESTABLISHMENT
It is no coincidence that shortly after retired General Michael Flynn packed a venue in Venice with over 1,000 supporters and after two Republican America First grassroots activists formed organizations, which was followed by Lourdes Ramirez winning two lawsuits against the Sarasota County establishment, the flunky for the local establishment Sarasota County Republican Party (REC) Jack Brill has put Ramirez, James Hoel and Terry Angley in his cross-hairs.
Ramirez
To take down Ramirez on behalf of the Beruff/Neal/Benderson/Jensen JUNTA, Brill who is Chairman of the local REC has found someone with a Beruff connection in Manatee County to run against Ramirez and remove her as the President of the Sarasota County Republican Club..
Ivell
Brill has found a realtor in Manatee County, who just happens to sell homes for Wagner Reality in Beruff’s notorious and controversial Aqua by the Bay development in Manatee County, Linda Ivell.
Ivill, who is from Polk County and once arriving in Manatee County ran for State Committeewoman and lost. Ivell now wants to take out Ramirez.
This Beruff flunky attended her first Republican Women’s Club meeting in April this year, while Brill and his establishment minions of the local party have recently joined the Women’s Club to make sure they have enough votes to support the Beruff/ Neal Gang's choice for leading the Sarasota County Republican Women’s Club.
ALL CARPETBAGGERS MAKING $ MILLIONS TURNING PARADISE INTO A PARKING LOT
Brll is carrying water for the "Pay to Play" developers who have turned not only Sarasota County government, but also Manatee County Government into a giant Shit Show. A giant Shit Show, as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis sits nicely in the pockets of Beruff, Neal and their cronies turning Sarasota/Manatee into Paradise Lost.

THE FLUNKY BRILL'S MARCHING ORDERS ARE TO TAKE DOWN RAMIREZ/ANGLEY/HOEL
Brill, who is the Carlos Beruff/Pat Neal/Randy Benderson flunky at the the establishment REC has made taking down Ramirez, Angley and Hoel, as his goals this year.
Ramirez taking on Benderson and others turning Siesta Key into another South Miami Beach has along with Angley and Hoel's leadership at the America First SWFL Caucus has made them Brill's target on behalf of Beruff, Neal, Benderson, Rex Jensen and their cronies.

Culverhouse
This carpetbagger Benderson, who now wants to build hotels on Siesta Key has been acting bullet proof bringing his urban sprawl from Buffalo ever since a product of Neal's corrupt 12th Judicial District, Judge Peter Dubensky over turned an over $20 million judgement to Hugh Culverhouse Jr.. A six-member jury ruled that Benderson had defrauded fellow developer, Culverhouse.
Brill's marching orders to take out Ramirez are a priority from the "Pay to Play" convicted fraud Benderson, who wants to build a hotel on Siesta Key to join together with his completed Siesta Promenade turning the area into a complete urban sprawl traffic disaster.
Ramirez has gained the wrath of Benderson in successfully leading the fight to resist Benderson and others destroying the ambiance of Siesta Key with their hotels.
BRILL ANOTHER FLUNKY FOR THE NEAL/BERUFF GANG
There is no question that Beruff, Neal, Benderson and Jensen have no problem with Brill being behind the recent lawsuit filed last week against the leaders of the America First Club.
For example, with Brill's backing, the Republican Club of South Sarasota County recently filed a lawsuit against an America First grassroots conservative activists club, America First SWFL Caucus. In the lawsuit, the RCSSC makes a claim of civil theft over a dispute over a bank account.
Angley
BRILL HAS TIMED LAWSUIT TO TAKE OUT RAMIREZ AND ANGLEY
Brill has timed the lawsuit to fight Angley and Ramirez in upcoming elections, as Angley is running for re-election as the local REC State Committeewoman and as a new Treasurer of the Republican Women’s Club of Sarasota. Ramirez is running for President of the Sarasota County Women’s Republican Club.
This lawsuit is nothing more to take out grassroots activists, who are defying to go along to get along with the demands of the establishment local Republican REC, who have joined together with establishment Democrats to form the UNIParty corrupting local government in Manatee and Sarasota counties.
Local grassroots Republican leaders know this is just a Brill political stunt supported by local developers and DeSantis, who fear that America First grassroots activists and Flynn have become a major threat to the UNI Party establishment.?
It made no difference to Brill that the America First club had been working through their attorney to resolve the concerns over the past few weeks but that did not matter to Brill and his patrons.
There is no other reason for filing a lawsuit but to punish the local Republican America First leaders who defy the Beruff, Neal and Benderson control of the REC under Brill's leadership.
Brill
Thus, despite the efforts of America First SWFL Caucus to solve the questions raised by the South County Republican Club through their attorney, Brill has pushed his minions to go after Hoel and Angley, who are President and Vice President of the Caucus.
ESTABLISHMENT REC OUT TO CONTROL REPUBLICAN CLUBS
This Brill inspired lawsuit is just another attempt that started last fall by local establishment REC's in Manatee and Sarasota County leaders to control Republican Clubs. The goal of the local REC's is to control local clubs for the benefit of the Beruff/Neal/Benderson/Jensen led gang.
Culbreath
Local REC establishment leaders in Manatee County and Sarasota Counties, who are Brill in Sarasota County and April Culbreath in Manatee County have the support of DeSantis' flunky RPOF Chairman Evan Power to take control of local Republican clubs.
The DeSantis's and Power's
The control of local Republican clubs all began with the demand by the Rules Committee of the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) under the DeSantis' flunky Chairman Power. Each Republican club was to turn over private email addresses and cell phone numbers of their members to the state and local Party chairs.
Jones
The chairman of the Rules Committee of the RPOF is Stafford Jones, who is a well-known political operative. Jones manages over 70 dirty/dark Political Action Committees or PAC's in Florida with millions of dollars in contributions and expenditures.
Jones has been described by Daniel Roth of the Tampa Bay Times as, “A master of the dark arts of creating phony political committees with dubious names like “Citizens Alliance for Florida’s Economy,” or “The Responsible Leadership Committee.”
Those over 70 PAC's that Jones has been involved with in the past ten years have seen Jones during this time frame moving millions of dollars from one PAC to another PAC to essentially corrupt the Florida political system.
DeNapoli with a fellow Lavender Group member Florida State Senator Joe Gruters
The Rules Committee not only includes Jones as chair, but another Republican establishment flunky Richard DeNapoli, as co-chair and Brill.
THE RPOF RULES COMMITTEE WAS TAKE CONTROL OF CLUBS BY A DeSANTIS CONTROLLED RPOF AND HIS DEVELOPER PATRONS
The belief among Republicans grassroots activists throughout the state is the request for personal member information is to hand over control of the clubs to the RPOF and their developer cronies and to give only the DeSantis and his developer cronies chosen candidates the exposure to club members.
The new rules imposed on the clubs include forcing each club to provide personal member information to the state and local party chairs. When the Rules Committee passed the new club regulations, many Republican Clubs resisted including the leaders of the Republican Club of South Sarasota County and the Republican Women’s Club of Sarasota.
As it turns out, when the new rules were taken for a vote this February by the entire RPOF delegation, it was soundly rejected. Leaders of Republican Clubs throughout Florida were angered about the proposed new rules.
While the Republican Women’s Club of Sarasota leadership publicly voiced concerns over the new rules, the members of the South County Republican Club took an extra step and returned their RPOF charter to the state Party and changed the name of the group to America First SWFL Caucus. The majority of the 400 plus membership remained with the America First leadership.
Shortly after the vote to change names of the club, the leadership began interviewing Republican candidates to include as their local slate in the upcoming Primary, which did not sit well with Brill and the RPOF.
The RPOF scrambled to create a new South County Republican Club and swore in new officers this year and began pursuing a lawsuit, which they have just filed.
REPUBLICAN AMERICA FIRST GRASSROOTS ACTIVISTS MOVING ON FROM BRILL AND LOCAL REC ANGERED ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS
AMERICA FIRST MOVEMENT NOT IN LOCK STEP WITH BRILL’S LED REC
The largest Sarasota Republican Club in Sarasota County moving away from Republican establishment leadership has angered "Pay to Play" developers, who stuff local politicians in their largely due to the votes coming from the bastion of Republican conservatism based in South Sarasota County.
America First activists have recently turned in their RPOF charter and formed the America First SWFL Caucus with Hoel as President and Angley as Vice President.
With the creation of the SCRC and the America First SWFL Caucus a major split between the establishment local REC under Brill's leadership and America First Republican grassroots activists has been created.
Brunni
It is no coincidence that Ramirez, Angley and Hoel are being targeted by Brill after Connie Brunni along with other American First grassroots activists became a threat after they formed with over 200 members the Sarasota County Republican Assembly Chapter (SCRC) in the bastion of Sarasota County Republican conservatism. Ramirez, Angley and Hoel are all supporters of Brunni.
Mast/Buchanan/Rainford
It is obvious those candidates will not be Sarasota County Commission candidates like Teresa Mast or the DeSantis appointed carpetbagger Neal Rainford or Florida State Representative, James Buchanan.
It is doubtful that UNI Party School Board Members Karen Rose Miller or Greg Wood will get endorsed. There is not a nickel bit of difference between the UNI Party Rose and Wood and their UNI Party opponents Tom Edwards and Liz Barker.
Pedicini
It is now apparent that anyone who stands up to "Pay to Play" developers in Sarasota or Manatee Counties like Beruff, Neal and Benderson they will find themselves being targets by lawsuits and negative political campaigns. Those negative political campaigns are led by another dirt bag out of Ybor City, Anthony Pedicini, who is the Beruff/Neal/ Benderson/Jensen political operative.
BRILL WORKS HAND IN HAND WITH PEDICINI
Brill, who was handpicked by local “Pay to Play” developer Pat Neal works hand in hand with Pedicini funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars into Pedicini managed Pac. Those expenditures come a great deal from Neal, Beruff, Benderson, and Rex Jensen, who control the local REC for their financial benefit, turning Sarasota into Paradise lost.
In the last election cycle the four developers stuffed the local REC with a total of $55,000 from Neal; $105,000 from Benderson; $75,000 from Jensen; $10,000 from Beruff, which is pocket change to these gangsters to corrupt the local political process.
BRILL IS NEAL AND WAECHTER MOTHPIECE AND LACKEY
Brill was handpicked by Neal and his cronies when they took control of the REC after sending another flunky of theirs Florida State Senator Joe Gruters on to be one of their legislative lackies in Tallahassee back in 2015.
Waechter
Brill once in charge, he became the mouthpiece for Neal’s political operative Bob Waechter, who is three-time arrested criminal (once for political fraud) member of the REC. Waechter runs the local REC out of his office on Sawyer Road where the paid Executive Director of the local REC, Kelly Irwin is employed.
Bentley
NEAL'S DEMOCRAT "MOB LAWYER" BENTLEY IS BRILL'S CHOICE TO TAKE OUT AMERICA FIRST CLUB
It is no surprise that Morgan Bentley is representing the local REC with "House Money" the new Republican Club of South Sarasota County in the lawsuit against the grassroots conservative America First SWFL Caucus.
Bentley is nothing more than a "Mob Lawyer" for the Nea/Beruff Gangsters defending individuals like the 68 CONVITED felon Michael Barfield, Neal’s political operative convicted of pollical fraud Waechter, not to mention “Pay to Play” developer Henry Rodriquez who along with Benderson was convicted by a jury of defrauding Culverhouse.
Bentley is the same attorney who put together a County Commission redistricting map that attempting to disenfranchise thousands of Black voters in the 2022 election.
ESTABLISHMENT REC WITH RPOF AID OUT TO CONTROL REPUBLICAN CLUBS
This Brill inspired lawsuit is just part of an attempt that started last fall by local establishment REC's in Manatee and Sarasota County with assistance from the RPOF in Tallahassee to control Republican Clubs. A major goal of the local REC's is to control local clubs for the benefit of the Beruff/Neal/Benderson/Jensen led gang.
