Nikki Setzler clams up - ignores my latest e-mail

I just love it when a deceitful, conniving little jerk like Nikki Setzler - spoiled rotten by the decades-long subservience of a stupefied South Carolina public - shows his true colors. .

Way back on 12/5/2017, I sent Setzler an e-mail via SC Legislature Online asking what he plans to do during the 2018 legislative session to simplify probate and eliminate time limits on wills. Haven't heard a word back, which has been his modus operandi from the get-go.

Who, pray tell (if a lowly racket victim may dare to ask), does Lord Nikki think he is?

He certainly doesn't think of himself as a representative of the people of South Carolina. We need only look at his stonewalling due to his conflict of interest when it comes to simplifying probate, and his co-sponsorship of the Base Load Review Act, obligating utility customers to pay in advance and underwrite billions of dollars in risk associated with the nuclear power scandal (he now wants ratepayers to accept the proposal from Dominion Energy, which would leave them badly ripped off).

It's time for Lord Nikki to start serving the interests of South Carolinians instead of his own selfish interests and those of big-moneyed goons like SCANA. He's been backstabbing the people of South Carolina for decades, keeping things like the probate racket quiet. With Setzler receiving income from his probate-dealing law firm, it's not hard to understand why he would stonewall whoever asks him to address the issue. While he's representing the interests of probate-dealing law firms, I'd like to know more about Lord Nikki's relationship with SCANA.

Jerks like Nikki Setzler don't deserve anyone's respect. They certainly don't warrant being addressed by any name that implies they serve the public interest.

With longstanding government corruption notoriously rampant in South Carolina, it shouldn't surprise anyone that the State House gang would sneak around behind people's backs and nullify wills, requiring victims of their carefully orchestrated scam to hand over thousands of dollars in attorney fees and participate in creating a false public record that insults the memory of deceased loved ones. In the final analysis, their unconscionable probate scheme is an assault on family values.

How does anyone drop so low that they're willing to make things more difficult for people who have lost loved ones? What kind of home life, what kind of upbringing, did these jerks have?

The legislature's initiation of and refusal to remedy the decades-long nightmare of probate - the racket got underway in 1986 - supports recent polls indicating that America is a dictatorship. Factor in a presstitute mainstream media that "knows better" than to reveal what the public needs to know. Likewise for self-proclaimed government watchdog organizations like the South Carolina Policy Council.

America's effort to attain self-governance has been a failure.

Members of the South Carolina legislature are nothing more than white collar thugs. Their quietly devised ripoffs continue to get bigger and bolder as a stupefied public grovels at their feet.Utter contempt is all anyone should have for masters of deceit like Nikki Setzler, who hold themselves out to represent the public interest while acting as agents for their own interests or the interests of crooked corporations. The Base Load Review Act should have been named the Let's Enrich SCANA Act.

Not only does Nikki Setzler epitomize what's wrong with government. He's one of the absolute sorriest excuses for a human that I've ever had the misfortune to encounter.

Update 3/20/2018 - Sent a link to this post to all SC legislators, and the House and Senate Ethics and Judiciary committees. Of course, all I ever get back from the self-serving slobs are automated replies.

Open remarks to Senator Setzler

Update 8/5/2017 - Leave it to a jerk like Setzler to publicly wring his hands after he and his cohorts set the stage for the nuclear power plant scandal involving SCANA and Santee Cooper. This article offers an apt summary:
"It was the same state Legislature that set the stage for the project in 2007 by passing a law that allowed investor-owned utilities like SCE&G to charge their customers as the large nuclear plants were being built rather than after they were completed."
Setzler was a co-sponsor (see 8th paragraph) of this ridiculous law. Just one more SC racket via legislators. No future charges for the never-to-be-completed boondoggle? We want our money BACK, and we want it back NOW, "Senator." 
On 9/20, I published a few more comments on the nuclear power scandal.
_________________________________________________________________________________

Congratulations, "Senator."

For the 2017 legislative session, you succeeded in keeping mainstream media quiet regarding South Carolina's probate racket. thereby making sure that your bill never made it out of committee.

I'll reiterate something from what I previously wrote:

I'd like to know how Senator Setzler thinks it makes someone feel to have their affairs placed on hold - a kind of legalized extortion - unless they hand over thousands of dollars in attorney fees and participate in establishing a false public record that disrespects their deceased loved one. 

A country that forces people into such an untenable predicament deserves no one's allegiance. The fact that it was done so secretively adds insult to injury.

"Senator," where did you learn such cowardice? Were you brought up to do dirt to people behind their backs? Or is it that somewhere along the way you realized that Americans will tolerate anything a corrupt government dishes out and you just couldn't resist exploiting the situation for your own selfish interests?

You're no public servant, "Senator." You never have been. Blinded by greed and political ambition, people like you are incapable of grasping the concept of public service. You're just another politician, more adept than most when it comes to feeding at the public trough.

People like you make a mockery of the electoral system. Anyone with normal sensibilities would be ashamed of themselves.

You must feel right at home when working with clods like Kenny Bingham and Emma Dean as you protect the financial interests of probate-dealing law firms like your own. In the absence of a free press, it's a special pleasure to protest South Carolina's attorney-instigated probate racket in front of the law firm of Williams, Stitely, and Brink.

"Senator," at least quit trying to con people into thinking the public has an interest in placing time limits on wills. Your repulsive charade fools nobody, and word is spreading about South Carolina's probate racket.

By the way, "Senator," are you a Lutheran or a Baptist? Your profile says Lutheran, but attendance-wise you seem attracted to the Baptist denomination. That must politically fortunate given the fact that among church-going South Carolinians, the Baptist denomination is far more popular than the Lutheran denomination. This survey revealed that a whoppin' 22.6% consider themselves Baptist, whereas only 1.3%. consider themselves Lutheran.

As for me, I'll keep fighting the good fight. It has to do with confronting tyranny, exposing injustice, and standing up for what's right. It's another one of those things that people like you will never understand.

Meanwhile...

Keep warming those pews, "Senator," regardless of the denomination you prefer to associate with. There's nothing like church attendance to confirm a devotion to the Golden Rule.
