Dope Queen Bites Dust. The Fullerton Angle
Yesterday U.S. District Judge Fernando Aelle-Rocha hit cannabis lobbyist Melahat Rafiei with a six month jail sentence and a $10,000 fine for fraud. In reality she had already pleaded guilty to trying to bribe two Irvine councilmembers to help her client – somebody in the local marijuana cartel. This seems like a light penalty for what she admitted.
Her adherents (she has some thanks to her years of disingenuous self-promotion in Democrat politics) claim that her ratting out some of Anaheim’s crooks should have meant no jail time at all.
What will this mean for the dope lobby in Fullerton? Hard to say. We know that the business has insinuated itself into Fullerton. Ahmad Zahra appointed one of its political spokesholes, Derek Smith to the Fiscal Sustainability Ad Hoc Committee. And the Dutiful Doctor from Damascus has been an active and open drum-beater for the marijuana dispensary cause for years. He actually recommended Rafiei as a lobbyist to at least one commercial property owner that I know. How many others have there been?
We also know that Zahra and the dope lobby worked real hard to elect Cannabis Kitty Jaramillo (above) last fall. Had Jaramillo won we would have MJ stores in Fullerton, possibly 100 feet from your house.
People have been speculating about Zahra’s ties to the local Marijuana Trust. How beholden is he? Ditto Sheena Charles, whose husband, Andre, got a tidy $4,000 from the marijuana worker union’s PAC, “Working Families for Jaramillo.”
The Fullerton Observer and their followers have been vocal about the political influence of Tony Bushala, but have been completely silent about the long reach of the MJ cartel into Fullerton politics. I don’t wonder why.
Ahmad Zahra is corrupt. Mary Jane Mafia owns him. They fund his opulent lifestyle of leaving the country for this and that. Guy “produces” shit. How can he afford the airfare alone? Inquiring minds want to know. No wife. No husband. No cats. Who is paying???????
Truly impressive. Even managing to bring up deceased cats. Perfectly in line with the tone of this blog
Zahra was trying to get into the Melahat Clown Car when she was riding high in Irvine and Long Beach – where the city is all in. When she was busted he must have worried about what might come out about Fullerton.
The only one “riding high in Irvine” was Tammi Kim after f******* Fullerton’s mayor. How embarrassing
Jesus H., those pictures are horrific.
Why is everyone fat?
Top of the food chain?
Zahra isn’t fat. He was just born with no neck.
I love the policy critique on this blog. It challenges me so much
You are challenged by a hot day.
Why all the AI brought-to-life Disney characters?
lol to complain about any appointments when Tony Bushala was appointed to the Ad Hoc Fiscal Committee and the Redistricting Committee is just comical. I’m so here for it. This is entertaining
I’m really happy we have Jamie “I Know Nothing” Valencia in City Council. I appreciate her asinine questions that just demonstrate she hasn’t even read the staff report on these items
Seriously, I feel like she doesn’t understand what’s happening ever. It’s becoming an issue…
And still a million times better than Cannabis Kitty, her vulgarity, and her anger issues.
I especially like the focus on marijuana. Does Tony have any opinions on the topic? Any business ventures he wanted Salma to pursue? lol you guys are such dupes. It’s honestly funny
Tony is a stoner. He would absolutely invest in or lease space to weed dispensaries in Fullerton.
So why is “his” majority voting against it? Seriously, you anti-Bushala twits are stupid.
Hello, my name is Fred Jung and I support appointing my major financial donors to committees to advise on the budget
Hello, my name is Ahmad Zahra Christ. I appointed a dope lobbyist to advise on the budget
You also supported your bool kogi being placed inside Tammy Kim.
Hello, my name is Elijah Manassero and I support my head being up the ass of that know nothing Saskia Kennedy and doing Connor Trout’s dirty work.
Funny how the one ‘libertarian’ blog in Fullerton spends more time running cover for Tony Bushala than actually holding power accountable.
No libertarians here. Just Bushillas, reactionaries and me.
You don’t count.
Rent free
Is what Tony B. pays you to inhabit your itty bitty brain.

It’s pathetic how often this blog bends over backwards to defend one guy instead of standing up for Fullerton
Then don’t come here.
When did Miss Piggy start wearing glasses?
