Bush Admin Posted Nuclear Bomb Building Guide On Internet By Steve @ 2:10 pm -- CST (10-31-06)
The Bush administration did so under pressure from Congressional Republicans who had said they hoped to "leverage the Internet" to find new evidence of the prewar dangers posed by Saddam Hussein. But in recent weeks, the site has posted some documents that weapons experts say are a danger themselves: detailed accounts of Iraq's secret nuclear research before the 1991 Persian Gulf war. The documents, the experts say, constitute a basic guide to building an atom bomb. | -------------------------------------------------- Tenth Dallas County Man in Just 5 Years Exonerated By Barry @ 4:00 pm -- CST (10-31-06) An unprecedented number of cases in Dallas county are being reversed with DNA evidence. Remember the George Bush interview on 60 Minutes where he claimed to have "personally reviewed" the case of each prisoner prior to execution? The only way to stop this epidemic of wrongful convictions and executions is to HAVE THE LEAD PROSECUTOR WHO FRAUDULENTLY OBTAINED THE CONVICTION SERVE THE BALANCE OF THE SENTENCE. | -------------------------------------------------- Court Finds In Favor of Two Ejected From Bush Event By Barry @ 11:00 am -- CST (10-31-06) This court finding may shed light on the process by which Bush's handlers have shielded him from the general public. His appearances have been exclusively before hand-picked, like-minded audiences so as to deny the existence of dissent. Perhaps the only public event his handlers were not able to control in this fashion was Coretta Scott King's funeral. That did not go well for Bush as attendees were actually permitted to voice their displeasure with his failed policies. Accordingly, he has made no subsequent appearances in that sort of uncontrolled environment. | -------------------------------------------------- Money Trails Lead to Bush Judges By Steve @ 7:40 am -- CST (10-31-06)
At least two dozen federal judges appointed by President Bush since 2001 made political contributions to key Republicans or to the president himself while under consideration for their judgeships, government records show. A four-month investigation of Bush-appointed judges by the Center for Investigative Reporting reveals that six appellate court judges and 18 district court judges contributed a total of more than $44,000 to politicians who were influential in their appointments. Some gave money directly to Bush after he officially nominated them. Other judges contributed to Republican campaign committees while they were under consideration for a judgeship. | -------------------------------------------------- Congressman Assaults Cocktail Waitress in Vegas By Barry @ 7:30 am -- CST (10-31-06) Note to the congressman: Next time you feel a little nasty, spring for the $300 and get yourself a hooker. Another fine example of Republican family values. | -------------------------------------------------- Cheney Compound Visited by Mobile Shredder By Barry @ 7:40 pm -- CST (10-30-06) Assuming this report is accurate, add destruction of evidence to Cheney's outstanding charges. | -------------------------------------------------- Thirteen Worst People in America By Barry @ 9:15 am -- CST (10-30-06) Many of those listed in this article are deserving of a lengthy stay in a federal correctional facility. | -------------------------------------------------- Casualties Continue to Mount in Bush's Illegal War By Barry @ 8:45 am -- CST (10-30-06) The numbers have grown so greatly since "mission accomplished" that much of the public has almost become numb. It is a genocide, it is a war crime and George Bush's handlers are inching closer to a trial at the Hague with each passing day. | -------------------------------------------------- Halliburton Whistleblower Purposefully Ignored By Barry @ 7:45 am -- CST (10-30-06) Here is another excellent article outlining the extent and audacity of Halliburton's fraudulent acts. | -------------------------------------------------- US "Terror" Law Violates International Treaties By Barry @ 9:35 pm -- CST (10-29-06) I suspect that once George Bush concludes his role as "president," he will carefully scrutinize relevant law if he desires to travel abroad. Henry Kissinger is similarly situated in that he is on record as carefully consulting with counsel before leaving the protective confines of the US. Unfortunately for these criminals, there are still nations out there who frown upon genocide and other war crimes. | -------------------------------------------------- Marine Recruiter Adds Pedophilia to His Pitch By Barry @ 7:45 pm -- CST (10-29-06) More government sanctioned pedophilia is described here, complete with a free pass for the perpetrator. | -------------------------------------------------- Soldiers Beat Iraqis Who Could Not Remember Nicknames By Barry @ 7:15 pm -- CST (10-28-06) Article outlines more evidence of war crimes in Iraq. According to the testimony given, it seems the Brits kept up with their American counterparts when it came to dispensing torture, beatings, etc. | -------------------------------------------------- Former White House Budget Officer Cries at Sentencing By Barry @ 9:25 am -- CST (10-28-06) Federal sentencings are normally sad events. Nevertheless, there is something satisfying about seeing this crybaby tearfully beg for leniency before his much-deserved sentencing. More BCF members to follow? | -------------------------------------------------- NBC Rejects TV Ad for Dixie Chicks Documentary By Barry @ 9:20 am -- CST (10-28-06) Another in a long line of events aimed at not only snuffing-out dissent, but denying its very existence. NBC's "policy" explanation is pure nonsense as they routinely air army recruitment ads and others that could be considered "controversial." | -------------------------------------------------- CIA Violates Swiss Sovereignty With Data Grab By Barry @ 8:30 am -- CST (10-28-06) Too bad someone didn't just conveniently lose their laptop. | -------------------------------------------------- Mark Foley May Only be the Tip of the GOP Child Molestation Iceberg By Barry @ 4:50 pm -- CST (10-27-06) This is some really sick stuff. Many of the Abu Ghraib pictures had a distinctly homo-erotic quality to them. Were they merely part of a larger theme? | -------------------------------------------------- Despite Show Trial, Iraqi Leaders Desire Return of Saddam By Barry @ 3:50 pm -- CST (10-27-06) If their leaders want Saddam back, what is the purpose of Saddam's phony trial? Besides, at this point it seems beyond refute that Bush's handler's acts have resulted in the murder of many more Iraqi's than Saddam. | -------------------------------------------------- Bush Power Grab By Barry @ 1:10 pm -- CST (10-27-06) Article contains some excellent observations about where America may be heading. | -------------------------------------------------- Further Evidence of Halliburton War Profiteering By Barry @ 1:05 pm -- CST (10-27-06) According to this article, Halliburton "abused regulations." That's an interesting way to put it. If one abuses a regulation, is the regulation considered to be violated? Semantics aside, the plundering of Iraq and its accompanying genocide continue unabated. | -------------------------------------------------- Heavy-Footed Dissenters in Britain Take Action By Barry @ 11:55 am -- CST (10-27-06) What a great story! People are actually taking real action against a perceived injustice. Check out the site for Motorists Against Detection, www.speedcam.co.uk. There are some great pictures of blown-up radar boxes. | -------------------------------------------------- White House Denies Cheney Support of Torture By Barry @ 11:50 am -- CST (10-27-06) More evidence of war crimes is coming to light. Cheney and his cabal of genocidal criminals should be brought straight away to the Hague. | -------------------------------------------------- Judge Receives Reprimand for Meeting with Prisoners By Barry @ 8:30 am -- CST (10-27-06) Meeting with prisoners "created an appearance of partiality?" | -------------------------------------------------- Internet Dissent Labeled "Terror" By Barry @ 2:55 pm -- CST (10-26-06) There is currently a big push underway to make it appear as if the internet is actually a playground for "terrorists." Many of the European news outlets have been featuring stories about "jihadi sites." | -------------------------------------------------- Joe Arpaio, War Criminal By Barry @ 9:55 am -- CST (10-26-06) Joe Arpaio is a get tough sheriff who thrills his voters by finding new ways to abuse prisoners in his custody. He and his department actively engage in torture, beatings, denial of medical treatment, and murder. His supporters do not seem to dwell upon the numerous lawsuits filed against the county as a result of his criminal acts. Arpaio is also an active publicity hound who hopes to parlay his "tough on crime" image into a stay at the governor's mansion. | -------------------------------------------------- Feds Blast Gotti With New Revelations By Barry @ 9:45 am -- CST (10-26-06) Jerry Capeci may be a fine crime writer, but he has been used in the past by the feds as a conduit for misinformation. This alleged story really shows what low-lifes occupy the US attorney's office in this district. They couldn't beat Junior at trial after three attempts, so they resort to sullying his reputation by now saying he was a cooperating witness. After three trials, now he's a cooperator? Total government fiction. | -------------------------------------------------- Alito Swears In New Federal Prosecutor By Barry @ 4:05 pm -- CST (10-25-06) Note the promise to bring "high impact" cases. Another publicity hound likely being groomed for significant advancement up the judicial corporate ladder. | -------------------------------------------------- GOP Rep Threatens Disabled Opponent By Barry @ 4:00 pm -- CST (10-25-06) Threatening a man in a wheelchair? You can't make this stuff up. | -------------------------------------------------- No Immediate Plans to Try Bush Crime Family By Barry @ 6:55 am -- CST (10-25-06) Further evidence that Dems and Repubs all feed from the same trough. | -------------------------------------------------- Court Refuses to Admit Exculpatory Evidence in Tax Case By Barry @ 6:50 am -- CST (10-25-06) There appears to be some doubt as to the validity of the 16th Amendment to the US Constitution. The court's refusal to admit evidence suggests there may be something to this argument. | -------------------------------------------------- Military Ready to Head-Off Additional Crimes By Barry @ 6:45 am -- CST (10-25-06) It would appear the BCF has succeeded in angering not only a great percentage of the populace, but also the military. | -------------------------------------------------- Lies Continue to Fly in House Child Molestation Investigation By Barry @ 4:15 pm -- CST (10-24-06) This is starting to get good. I am still puzzled about what would drive a homosexual towards the GOP's ultra-conservative politics. Self-haters seem to be attracted to those who despise them the most. Regardless, there are a lot of finger pointing and denials flying around. Perjury charges coming? | -------------------------------------------------- Bush's Power Grab By Barry @ 4:05 pm -- CST (10-24-06) Here is another excellent analysis of Bush's power grab. | -------------------------------------------------- Skilling Faces Decades in Federal Prison By Barry @ 2:05 pm -- CST (10-23-06) Andrew Fastow, who even the government concedes is the most culpable Enron defendant, received a sentence of six years. Why is Skilling facing so much more time than the man who orchestrated the most egregious aspects of Enron's fraud? The federal sentencing guidelines were enacted with the intent of lessening disparities in sentencing. Federal prosecutors have hijacked the process and reward their cooperators while excessively punishing those who assert their rights. Fastow cooperated, so he's now the "good guy" in the eyes of the prosecution. If Skilling had first turned on Fastow, you would be seeing an exact opposite result. So what are these people really being sentenced for? Is it for the crimes they committed or the subsequent offense of "failure to cooperate?" | -------------------------------------------------- Half a Billion Missing From Iraq By Barry @ 7:00 am -- CST (10-23-06) Finally, a reason for war we can all understand. The BCF and its affiliates may be facing justice for this and other offenses if the election results in Dems getting subpoena power. | -------------------------------------------------- Russian Intelligence Reports Military Dictatorship Near in US By Barry @ 10:50 am -- CST (10-22-06) Russia seems to be interpreting newly enacted US legislation in a fashion slightly different than what we are hearing in the US corporate-sponsored media. | -------------------------------------------------- Federal Informant Complains About Treatment By Barry @ 9:40 am -- CST (10-21-06) This article provides an excellent illustration into how the government creates criminal cases by offering financial rewards to people who may be tempted to accept a financial windfall. In this case one of the victims initially refused the informant's offer to commit crimes. The government responded by making another offer. | -------------------------------------------------- Former Marine Corps Intelligence Chief Calls for Indictment of Cheney and Associates By Barry @ 9:35 am -- CST (10-21-06) I suspect there will be more calls for prosecution of the Bush Crime Family and its various associates. | -------------------------------------------------- Feds Throw in the Towel on Gotti By Barry @ 9:30 am -- CST (10-21-06) Even the zealots in the US attorney's office can read the writing on the wall and accordingly, will end their pathological efforts against John Gotti Jr. The prosecutors have no one to blame but themselves. Gotti almost folded and accepted a plea on more than one occasion. It is only because of the prosecutors' unreasonableness that he is not sitting in prison right now. I like his mom's comments about Curtis Sliwa's hoaxes. The bottom line here is that people who fake their own kidnapping at the hands of the police make poor victims in federal trials. Congratulations, John. You earned it. I only hope more people follow this example and make the feds prove their case before a jury of their peers. | -------------------------------------------------- NJ Federal Prosecutors Land Another Major Prank Case By Barry @ 5:10 pm -- CST (10-20-06) Elements of this case remind me of Judge Sol Wachtler's prosecution for prank phone calls. Like the Wachtler matter, other jurisdictions were involved where charges could/should have been brought. Nevertheless, the matter was "given" to the NJ office. Then lead prosecutor Michael Chertoff took advantage of the opportunity and exploited it for all it was worth. Even though this matter involves nothing more than an idiot using a computer much as one would use a phone to make pranks calls, this case has excellent publicity value. Again, an element shared with the Wachtler matter. The NJ US attorney's office has been the springboard for Sam Alito and Michael Chertoff. Chris Christie is being groomed as the "next big thing" to come out of NJ, so a case like this (borderline meaningless prosecution, major publicity potential) is a much sought after commodity for Christie. What we really need from this office is a press release outlining Chis Christie's and Todd Christie's criminal fundraising efforts on behalf of the BCF. Additionally, Todd Christie's ability to do a "Houdini" with his federal criminal charges is worthy of investigation. Is it possible that raising millions for Bush and having a brother who is the head federal prosecutor for the District of NJ has anything to do with his good fortune? | -------------------------------------------------- Peace Groups Monitored Like Terrorists By Barry @ 1:30 pm -- CST (10-20-06) The regime perceives all dissent as a threat and is acting accordingly. Recently enacted legislation assures even greater abuses. | -------------------------------------------------- Rumsfeld Lays Groundwork for Diminished Capacity Defense By Barry @ 9:50 am -- CST (10-20-06) Kind of like "the Devil made me do it?" | -------------------------------------------------- Federal Charges Result From Assertion of Rights By Barry @ 9:45 am -- CST (10-20-06) In the twisted "white hat/black hat" prosecutorial view of the world, assertion of one's rights is an obvious inference of guilt. | -------------------------------------------------- Federal Judge Orders Cheney's Visitor Logs Released By Barry @ 9:40 am -- CST (10-20-06) The most secretive administration in the nation's history continues to defy the rule of law. Government prosecutors, defending Cheney, continue to work for the regime and against the people. | -------------------------------------------------- Prosecutors Twist and Torture the Law to Get Their Result By Barry @ 8:30 am -- CST (10-19-06) This matter provides an excellent example of how federal prosecutors ply their trade. The afore-stated goal in this case was to free a cooperating witness. The prosecutors then worked backwards, creating a fact pattern that would achieve the pre-determined result. In this instance the presiding judge all but told the government that this was a fraud upon the court. Nevertheless, he allowed the charade to proceed. | -------------------------------------------------- Bush Shreds Constitution By Barry @ 7:30 am -- CST (10-19-06) It is difficult to overstate the significance of this new legislation. The government now has the power to label anyone an "enemy combatant" and jail them indefinitely with no due process. While the term "enemy combatant" conjures up images of angry armed terrorists, a careful reading of the new law reveals that anyone who dissents is eligible to be so labeled. You may even be so deemed for merely visiting this site. Without being afforded due legal process, how could you prove otherwise? | -------------------------------------------------- Federal Prosecutor Arrested in Fatal Crash By Barry @ 11:30 am -- CST (10-18-06) Why limit assaulting citizens to the confines of a courtroom? | -------------------------------------------------- Government Moves to Stifle Dissent on the Net By Barry @ 7:30 am -- CST (10-18-06) Further evidence of an all-out effort to silence dissent. | -------------------------------------------------- Bush Signs Torture Into Law By Barry @ 4:10 pm -- CST (10-17-06) Torture is a war crime. Bush and his handlers have a potential stay at the Hague in their collective futures. | -------------------------------------------------- By Barry @ 2:00 pm -- CST (10-17-06) Excerpts from the 2004 GOP Convention show how Republicans used fear and chicanery to make the public believe that Iraq was a threat to the US, and that they were somehow connected to 9/11 - politicizing the tragedy for their own gain. | -------------------------------------------------- Lawsuit Filed by Woman Ticketed For Anti-Bush Sticker By Barry @ 1:10 pm -- CST (10-17-06) Here is another example of the government's zero tolerance policy for dissent. | -------------------------------------------------- Government Explores Options in Stewart Sentencing By Barry @ 11:10 am -- CST (10-17-06) Back in the "good ole' days" where federal judges were forced to follow federal prosecutors' interpretations of the federal sentencing guidelines, this sentence could have been reversed on motion by the government. Partial repudiation of the guidelines has virtually eliminated that possibility. This case exemplifies who poses the real danger to society. The federal prosecutors who walked into that court and demanded a 30 year sentence in this matter are guilty of crimes and pose a significant danger to the community. Your chances of being victimized by one of them is immeasurably greater than being harmed by a 67 year old grandmother recovering from breast cancer. | -------------------------------------------------- Wesley Snipes Indicted for Tax Fraud By Barry @ 9:10 am -- CST (10-17-06) These high profile tax cases are usually brought closer to April 15th in order to remind people that unless you are a BCF affiliate, your participation is mandatory. The timing leaves one wondering who has an ax to grind with Snipes. Of course, it is possible that this matter is simply being driven by a government prosecutor hell-bent on being "the guy who got Wesley Snipes." Think about it. Rapists, murderers, etc. are all a dime a dozen, but nailing Wesley Snipes guarantees getting your name in the paper and could put a federal prosecutor on the fast track up the judicial-corporate ladder. | -------------------------------------------------- Still No Leads After 5 Years In Murder of Federal Prosecutor By Barry @ 8:10 am -- CST (10-17-06) One of the issues raised when the federal sentencing guidelines were enacted was a fear of prosecutors being murdered. The thinking at the time was that defendants facing certain decades-long sentences would have little to lose by murdering prosecutors or witnesses. A man with nothing to lose truly has nothing to lose. | -------------------------------------------------- Lynne Stewart Sentenced to 28 Months By Barry @ 10:40 pm -- CST (10-16-06) This is quite an interesting result. I predicted a 10 year sentence for Stewart and am happy to have been wrong. The judge imposed the sentence over the objections of federal prosecutors who had sought a term of 30 years. Even though the facts demonstrated otherwise, the government's theory was that she should have been sentenced as if she knowingly and willfully participated in a scheme to disseminate her client's "militant" message. The truth is that this is simply another effort to stifle dissent by reminding defense lawyers that they, too, have liability in their clients' affairs. The government essentially believes that a lawyer who zealously defends a client somehow becomes a party to the crime, particularly if his efforts are successful. She was very fortunate to have been sentenced by a judge who was willing to defy government prosecutors. Other federal judges who bucked the US attorney's office once too often have themselves been the subject of subsequent prosecutions (Alcee Hastings, Harry Claiborne). | -------------------------------------------------- Zealously Represent Your Client? Go To Jail By Barry @ 7:40 am -- CST (10-16-06) In what is intended to have a chilling effect upon defense counsel, defense lawyer Lynne Stewart faces 30 years in federal prison. She is scheduled to be sentenced today. The government is sending a clear message to defense counsel. Defend your clients, but do so within acceptable limits (in other words, you are expected to lose). | -------------------------------------------------- Vast Majority of Americans Doubt Official 9/11 Story By Barry @ 8:35 am -- CST (10-15-06) This has significant legal implications. The issue is not whether the official 9/11 story is true. Rather, it is that the overwhelming majority of people questioned believe their government is capable of mass murder. It seems that the regime has lost much of its moral authority. This has the potential to play out in a variety of settings. Lawyers may wish to try their luck with a jury pool that seems quite hostile to the federal government in instances where they may have previously sought a plea. | -------------------------------------------------- War Criminals Continue to Rationalize Their Acts By Barry @ 8:30 am -- CST (10-15-06) Bush's handlers truly struck gold when they selected him to be their candidate. While a normal person might feel regret or be inclined to admit error, Bush is a true sociopath who will never admit to making a mistake. Thus, as Iraq disintegrates and his previously offered excuses for unprovoked war are proven false, he simply offers new excuses. I highly recommend reading "Bush on the Couch" by Dr. Justin Frank for an excellent insight into Bush's mental shortcomings and limited capacity. While Bush's claim of limited mental capacity may ultimately spare him from punishment, his handlers will not be afforded the same opportunity. | -------------------------------------------------- Torture Whistleblowers Ordered Not to Speak By Barry @ 8:25 am -- CST (10-15-06) The order to not speak with lawyers may constitute obstruction of justice. The regime is clearly in damage-control mode. | -------------------------------------------------- American Prison Camps on the Way By Barry @ 9:10 pm -- CST (10-14-06) The regime has a plan for those who dissent. | -------------------------------------------------- The Real Story Here is Who Wasn't Sentenced By Barry @ 9:00 pm -- CST (10-14-06) These brokers were briefly co-defendants of Todd Christie, brother of New Jersey US attorney Chris Christie. Chris heads the same US attorney office that produced Sam Alito and Michael Chertoff. Todd is a major fundraiser for the BCF. Todd's charges evaporated while the traders in this article were sentenced to terms in federal prison. Todd seems to have had a very fortuitous outcome to his legal difficulties. | -------------------------------------------------- Peaceful Activists Included on Terror Watch List By Barry @ 5:00 pm -- CST (10-14-06) The government claims it was all a mistake and will never happen again. That may be so, but the "mistake" was getting caught. | -------------------------------------------------- Unprecedented Effort to Stifle Dissent Continues: Teenage Girl Questioned by Secret Service for MySpace Posting By Barry @ 4:55 pm -- CST (10-13-06) I suspect this is becoming a relatively common occurrence. Anti-regime sentiment will not be tolerated. The government is attempting to send a clear message and even teenage girls are not immune. I believe that most of the time government agents visit a citizen, it is an attempt to draw a false statement from them. For example, if this girl had blurted-out something like, "I never posted anything on MySpace," the feds would have another Martha Stewart. What is especially troubling is that the feds would question a minor without a parent being present. They also could have made the visit at the child's home. The decision to make a scene at the school was deliberate. The government wants this message sent loud and clear. Dissent is terror! | -------------------------------------------------- US Murders Another Journalist By Barry @ 9:40 am -- CST (10-13-06) The US has killed an awful lot of journalists since the occupation of Iraq began. So long as those responsible are allowed to evade justice, the list of war crimes committed is certain to grow. | -------------------------------------------------- Federal Employees Reportedly Bought College Degrees By Barry @ 7:40 am -- CST (10-13-06) Ever wonder how people too inept for jobs in the real world earned those degrees? They didn't! | -------------------------------------------------- War Criminals Continue to Deny Crimes By Barry @ 8:45 am -- CST (10-12-06) George Bush and his handlers have implemented a failed policy which has resulted in genocide on a massive scale. The horrific death toll is the direct result of a campaign of deliberate deception that cleared the path to unprovoked war. They should be brought to the Hague to answer for their crimes. | -------------------------------------------------- Another Phony "Terror" Case By Barry @ 7:05 am -- CST (10-12-06) The alleged "terrorists" in this case were ultimately charged with making false statements to the FBI. Another example of why no one should ever think anything will be gained by speaking with agents of the federal government. | -------------------------------------------------- This Type Of Dissent Poses An Obvious Danger By Barry @ 10:35 am -- CST (10-11-06) While not exactly on point, I found this article amusing. Do you think they will call out a haz-mat unit? | -------------------------------------------------- Giving Federal Prosecutors Even More Tools For Their Ongoing Battle Against The People By Barry @ 10:30 am -- CST (10-11-06) One of the biggest scams to come out of the phony "War on Terror" is the idea that special exceptions carved-out to fight "terrorists" will only be used for that purpose. What the government fails to reveal is that prosecutors are duty-bound to use ALL available tools to obtain a conviction. A prosecutor who only uses new terror fighting laws to fight terror would be violating their duty to use all available means. The Patriot Act has already been used for the prosecution of strip clubs, tax evaders, etc. You may think these new laws have been enacted to fight "terror," but the truth is that they will ultimately be used against any citizen unlucky enough to find themselves in the crosshairs of a federal prosecutor. Who are the terrorists? This is a war against the People. | -------------------------------------------------- Falsely Accused Claims To Be Another Richard Jewell By Barry @ 7:30 am -- CST (10-11-06) You've got to love to the government's reasoning in this case. Their suspect was frustrated about spending over $100,000 in legal fees prior to being cleared, so he must be the one who shot the prosecutor. | -------------------------------------------------- New Legislation Labels Activism As Terrorism By Barry @ 12:30 pm -- CST (10-10-06) DISSENT IS TERROR! | -------------------------------------------------- FBI Struggles To Regain Some Perceived Measure Of Integrity By Barry @ 12:20 pm -- CST (10-10-06) Founded by a cross-dresser who was being blackmailed by organized crime, the FBI has seen its reputation continue to sink in the wake of high-profile failures. Richard Jewel, Dr. Wen Ho Lee, and Dr. Stephen Hatfield are just some of the better known citizens who have had their lives destroyed by the FBI's shoddy investigative practices. Add to this endemic incompetence an irrational need for favorable publicity and you have a recipe for a complete law enforcement disaster. One day I had the pleasure of being visited by some of these government wanna-be tough guys. It was like something out of a cheesy mafia movie. There was one guy doing the talking while being backed-up by two goons. They claimed they were investigating a "homicide." Their "investigation" stemmed from a government prosecutor who was found murdered in a known pick-up spot for homosexuals seeking sex. The government initially tried blaming some "rappers" who were being prosecuted by this individual at the time of his murder. When the news broke I went into a Yahoo chat room with some choice comments about the affair. I cannot remember exactly what I wrote, but I'm sure it is archived somewhere. By the time they got around to visiting me, it was already known that their all-American type prosecutor actually led a double life which resulted in his being murdered in a gay lovers' lane. He was obviously not murdered by rappers or even bloggers. This did nothing to prevent the FBI from "investigating" the matter from my front door. I suspect they came in the hope that I would make the mistake of speaking with them. It is exactly this type of "informal" visit which typically leads to subsequent charges of making false statements. Unless you want to be the next Martha Stewart, NEVER, EVER SPEAK WITH ANYONE FROM THE GOVERNMENT WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY PRESENT!!! My refusal to speak resulted in them threatening me with "We're going to have to question your neighbors." I told them to do what they do best and terrorize the whole neighborhood. With that parting shot I closed my front door. My question after reading this article is how can the FBI regain integrity it never possessed? | -------------------------------------------------- Prosecutor Arrested For Indecency By Barry @ 11:50 am -- CST (10-10-06) This is quite an interesting article. I have read about prosecutors failing to bring integrity to their job, but I have never before read about one who failed to bring their clothes. At least he had the decency to do it "after business hours." | -------------------------------------------------- New Book Examines Elliot Spitzer, Publicity Hound By Barry @ 11:45 am -- CST (10-10-06) Spitzer is described in this book as a "headline-grabbing bully out to promote his own career." That description seem applicable to most high-profile prosecutors. Moving up the judicial-corporate ladder is predicated upon squeezing as much publicity as possible out of active prosecutions. The amount of publicity a case can generate is often the MOST important factor in deciding whether to prosecute. Right now, there's some little pipsqueak out there whose major claim to fame is "I'm the guy that got Leona Helmsley." | -------------------------------------------------- Denny Hastert: Another Roy Cohn Award Nominee? By Barry @ 8:55 am -- CST (10-10-06) It appears Denny Hastert's name can be added to the list of undercover gay Republican elected officials. Gays who support the GOP can be viewed as being somewhat akin to Jews supporting Hitler. Hastert's "predisposition" answers a lot of questions about what would motivate the speaker to obstruct justice, impede an investigation and arguably become and aider and abettor to Mark Foley's pedophilia. | -------------------------------------------------- Prosecutor Wishes For A Speedy Disposition To Her Matter By Barry @ 3:45 pm -- CST (10-9-06) Here is another example of those dishing it out being unable to take it. Pirro's office is as guilty as any other prosecutor's office of abusing the legal process in order to inflict maximum damage to defendants. All of this reminds me of Nicholas Bissell who was a prosecutor in New Jersey. He has a reputation for seeking the maximum sentence available whenever possible, regardless of its appropriateness. This policy became a problem when Bissell, himself, was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in federal prison. Bissell fled and was finally cornered in a seedy hotel in Reno, Nevada. The US Marshals surrounded his hotel room and demanded his surrender. (BTW, this completely violated the feds agreement with Bissell's wife. She agreed to assist in his apprehension with the condition that he not be cornered. Evidently, she knew her husband would likely not be taken alive.) As Mrs. Bissell feared, her husband was a true coward and blew his brains out once he realized there was no way out of the hotel. His last words were reportedly, "I can't do 10 years!" Nick Bissell was indeed unable to do his 10 years, but this did not in any way temper the sentences he sought for others. I would feel secure in betting that Pirro's office is currently engaged in the exact conduct about which she is complaining. | -------------------------------------------------- US Homeless Population Grows By Barry @ 12:25 pm -- CST (10-9-06) The pool of people available to populate those Halliburton Detention Camps continues to grow. People who have spent time in prison often comment on what a high percentage of people appear to have been "rescued," as opposed to prosecuted. | -------------------------------------------------- Another Typical FBI Investigation: No Informant, No Suspect By Barry @ 10:00 am -- CST (10-9-06) Despite destroying the reputation of an innocent man, the FBI is no closer today to solving the anthrax attacks than they were in 2001. This inept agency seems to only solve crimes when the services of an informant are available. When forced to rely on good old-fashioned police work, they typically come-up with suspects like Richard Jewel and Dr. Stephen Hatfield. The 2001 anthrax attacks remain unsolved and will likely remain so until someone with intimate knowledge of the crime shares this information with the FBI. Their past utter failures and shoddy track record does little to dissuade them from making hasty public accusations against innocent citizens. | -------------------------------------------------- GOP Lawmakers Knew of Foley's Illegal, Predatory Acts Since at Least 2000 By Barry @ 9:00 am -- CST (10-9-06) The facts suggest that Foley's fellow Republicans impeded an official investigation, obstructed justice and gave false statements in a coordinated effort to conceal Foley's criminal behavior. Those who aided and abetted Foley face potential criminal consequences. There are people in prison for a helluva lot less. | -------------------------------------------------- Another Former Federal Prosecutor Head to Prison By Barry @ 8:40 am -- CST (10-8-06) This guy was definitely well-rounded. | -------------------------------------------------- Murder of Federal Prosecutor Still Unsolved By Barry @ 8:35 am -- CST (10-8-06) Five years after the killing there is still no one in custody. This guy probably did so much damage to so many people that the FBI does not know where to begin its investigation. Of course they have a "suspect" whom they supposedly cannot arrest for lack of evidence (that's amusing). | -------------------------------------------------- Torture and Beatings Just Part of Exporting Freedom By Barry @ 7:55 pm -- CST (10-7-06) I personally witnessed this sick mentality when imprisoned by the federal government. Where do you think these guards will likely work when their time in the military is completed? The federal Bureau of Prisons provides a perfect work environment for people who believe beatings and torture is a source of amusement. Remember Abu Ghraib prison guard Charles Graner's comment concerning the beatings? "The Christian in me says it's wrong, but the corrections officer in me says, 'I love to make a grown man pis himself.'" Graner was a state corrections officer prior to bringing his "expertise" to Abu Ghraib. Not only is this kind of treatment systematic and endemic, it is glorified in the corrections sub-culture. They hate us for our freedom? | -------------------------------------------------- Another Innocent Man Released After Decades Behind Bars By Barry @ 7:45 pm -- CST (10-7-06) Here we go again. An innocent man languishes in jail for decades. The prosecutor's biggest gripe is that "it's a profound tragedy that the victims of this terrible crime have been forced to relive that horrible night 23 years ago." The victim of an even more horrible crime has just been released from prison. The prosecutor who put him there should be forced to serve the balance of the sentence. That would be something more akin to justice than jailing the innocent. | -------------------------------------------------- Prosecutor Claims to be Victim of Federal Prosecutor By Barry @ 7:45 am -- CST (10-7-06) It is always enjoyable to watch these ambitious cannibals devour one of their own. Truth is, they would sell their own mother for a move up the judicial-corporate ladder. | -------------------------------------------------- Someone Have A Guilty Conscience? By Barry @ 7:10 am -- CST (10-6-06) Mrs. Powell may be upset that her husband was "used," but what she refers to a "blot" on his record significantly contributed to the deaths of untold thousands. This matter would be best sorted-out by a war crimes trial. Perhaps Powell can receive leniency in return for testimony against those who orchestrated this matter. | -------------------------------------------------- Federal Prosecutors Make Absurd Arguments Regarding Detainee Abuse By Barry @ 7:05 am -- CST (10-6-06) This article contains several examples of government lawyers from the US attorney's office making false and misleading claims in federal court. The language in the brief submitted by the warden's lawyer was particularly disingenuous. In this instance the government's attempts at subterfuge appear to have met stiff resistance. The defendants' failure to offer credible testimony suggests they have waltzed through similar proceedings in the past. | -------------------------------------------------- Foley's Crimes Likely Had a Helping Hand By Barry @ 8:40 am -- CST (10-5-06) If this story is true, Dennis Hastert has bigger worries than merely retaining his house leadership post. Charges of Aiding and abetting and obstruction of justice may be looming. | -------------------------------------------------- Former Federal Prosecutor Pleads Guilty By Barry @ 8:35 am -- CST (10-5-06) More government hypocrisy: here's a former federal prosecutor who committed some of the very acts for which he sent people to prison. I hope he enjoys his new accommodations. | -------------------------------------------------- Foley's Child Molestation May Turn Attention From Other scandals By Barry @ 10:35 am -- CST (10-4-06) As incredible as it sounds, the media's focus on a pedophile in congress may be keeping attention from an even greater scandal. Condi Rice is at the very least a perjurer and potentially a war criminal. Her deception and lies have resulted in the deaths of tens and possibly hundreds of thousands. | -------------------------------------------------- What to do When Mom Jails the Innocent and Dad Bangs a Family Friend By Barry @ 10:30 am -- CST (10-4-06) Trotting out the children to face the media is typically a sign of deep desperation. It may make entertaining reading, but those negatively impacted by Pirro's antics see nothing amusing with her seemingly never-ending soap opera. | -------------------------------------------------- Diminishing Free Speech Rights: Cheney Critic Arrested By Barry @ 9:10 am -- CST (10-4-06) One of the hallmarks of a dictatorship are a lack of free speech rights. | -------------------------------------------------- Aiding and Abetting a Child Predator is a FELONY By Barry @ 9:50 am -- CST (10-3-06) It seems as if others, aside from ex-Congressman Foley, may have something to fear. Those who enabled this creep to continue his conquests of pubescent boys may be just as culpable in the eyes of the law. From the same crowd who cried "rule of law" on TV for two straight years during Clinton's impeachment debacle. | -------------------------------------------------- Prosecutors Possess All of the Tools They Need to Punish Pedophile Congressman By Barry @ 12:10 pm -- CST (10-1-06) "Mr. Foley is not the only person who could possibly face prosecution. If there were people who knew about him or protected him, some sort of complicity or conspiracy charge is certainly viable." | -------------------------------------------------- American Citizens Denied Entry to US Unless They Agree to FBI Interview By Barry @ 12:05 pm -- CST (10-1-06) Would you want to fly into the US knowing that FBI agents were waiting to aggressively interview you? | -------------------------------------------------- Child Predator Seen As "Overly Friendly" By Fellow Congressman By Barry @ 7:50 am -- CST (10-1-06) A known pedophile in their midst gets a pass while stricter laws, increased police power and near-limitless government intrusion are all enacted. | -------------------------------------------------- |
