THE SIXTH HONORABLE MENTION: NOBLE “BENEDICT” ELLINGTON Noble Edward Ellington, II is an “oligarch”, and he is an extreme, Baptist, Christian Republican. He is the current “chairperson” of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) in Washington, D. C. He is a legislative member of the Council although his membership publication could not be verified (through the Council). (Noble is the owner of the Ellington Cotton Company, 4270 Front St, Winnsboro, Louisiana 71295. This address is also given for his District Office. His “legislative aide” is, currently, his second wife, Brenda Anderson Armstrong Ellington.) Noble is a wealthy cotton merchant from Winnsboro, Louisiana. He is the current, freshman, Republican, state Representative (District 20) in the Louisiana House. Previously, he has served in the Louisiana House as a state, Democratic Representative (1988-1996), and he has served in the Louisiana Senate as a state, Democratic Senator (District 32) from 1996 to 2008. Because of statute limitations, he was excluded from seeking a fourth, consecutive term as a Senator. So, he decided to return to the state House as a Representative in January of 2008. Noble became a Republican in order to seek renewed membership in the state House in 2011. His story to the media (for his change of Party) was that the Democratic Party was not “conservative enough” for his liking. The truth is not as “noble.” Noble liked being an “oligarch” as much as he liked being a politician. By joining the Republican Party, he could become a political “oligarch”, and he could be an open advocate of the false doctrine of “American Exceptualism.” Noble is a true, American extremist. When Noble became a member of ALEC, his dream of becoming part of the “superior” class of Americans (the American few) became a reality-at least in his mind. (Noble married Peggy Marie McDowell of Winnsboro, Louisiana in 1964. They had two children: Noble Ellington, III who was born in 1964 and Ryan Fred Ellington who was born in 1967. The couple divorced in 1998 (after 34 years of marriage). The divorce process was contentious due to the fight over marital assets and due to her relationship with her future husband, Justice Chet D. Traylor. After the divorce, Peggy married Justice Chet D. Traylor. Peggy Traylor died in 2009 without a will. After her death, her children, Noble and Ryan, sued her second husband, Chet Traylor, for allegedly withholding information [about their late mother’s estate]. Also, Noble [II] blamed Peggy’s second husband, partially, for the cause of his divorce. Finally, Justice Traylor became romantically involved with Denise Lively Ellington, Ryan Fred Ellington’s wife, before she decided to divorce. In 2006, Noble married his longtime, legislative aide, Brenda Anderson Armstrong. Despite “rumors” to the contrarily, Noble stated that Brenda was not a factor in his own divorce [of Peggy Marie Mc Donald]. After her marriage to Noble, Brenda’s continued employment became an ethical issue with the Louisiana legislative body. At the end of this “fiasco”, the dispute was litigated before a state court. The court ruled a “stay” on Brenda’s removal. Thus, the dispute ended in a tie.) Thus, Noble is both morally and ethically corrupt. He is for sale, and he was purchased by ALEC in order to help it subvert the democratic, social system in the State of Louisiana and in the nation. The fact that he is involved with the Council, directly, is, by definition, a violation of his “oath of office” to the State of Louisiana. Noble is acting like he is a “Benedict Arnold.” This “Benedict” should read the following (his oath of office): “State of Louisiana, Parishes of Caldwell, Catahoula, Franklin, and Tensas. I, Noble E. Ellington, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the constitution of the United States and the constitution and laws of this state and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent on me as House Representative for District 20 according to the best of my ability and understanding, so help me God.” X……………………………….. Noble E. Ellington, II (Benedict Arnold, V [1741-1801] was a general during the American Revolutionary War [1775-1783]. While a general on the American side of the conflict, he was given the command of the fort at West Point, New York. He plotted to surrender the fort to the British forces. After the plot was exposed [in September of 1780], he fled. He was rewarded for his treasonous actions by the British forces. The British commissioned him as a brigadier general [as a one stared general]: they purchased him at a very small price for betraying the fallen and his country. Benedict hated General George Washington [1732-1799]. Arnold felt that he was the superior general and that he was the superior person. He could not understand why the Continental Congress [17741789] did not appoint him as the head of the Continental Army. In addition [and along with a number of “legislators” in Congress and along with a number of American colonists], he felt that the Continental Army would eventually “fall” to the superior British forces. To his profound surprise, Benedict and his fellow “naysayers” were incorrect! Although George Washington came from a wealthy background, he was one of the American many. His courage in conflict, both in the military and in politics, was at the level of today’s “Medal of Honor” recipient. For example, when the American few and the American many wanted to make him the United States President for Life, he refused: he intellectually and emotionally understood that the nation did not need another “king”. Thus, the great George Washington went home to live out his years with his family. President George Washington [1789-1797] was a true American hero, and he was the greatest of the American presidents. He was truly a superior American who had the wisdom and courage to view and to act as one of the many. Benedict Arnold, V was a want to be “oligarch” who would have lost the war if he were appointed as the head of the Continental Army. If this “oligarch” got his way, the United States of America would still be a British colony: beholding to the European, privileged classes.) Noble Edwards “Benedict” Ellington’s loyalty should be to the people of the state of Louisiana and to its constitution. Also, his loyalty should be to the people of the United States and to its Constitution. All legislative members, past and present, were and are in violation of their “oaths of office” by participating in “shadow” organizations like ALEC. These American legislators are acting like “Benedict Arnolds” when they think their “oaths of office” are to the “corporate oligarchies” of the nation. And, by being the “familiars” of the “oligarchs”, they are really, really picking the wrong side. There will be other George Washingtons. To hell with the “oligarchs”, Fromoneofthemany
